 The Shotgun Start with Andy Johnson and Brendan Porath of Fried Egg Golf is a podcast waiting for you early in the morning that quickly blasts through a variety of topics (usually) related to golf and (ideally) relevant to the day. It covers news from the pro tours around the world, amusing and important topics from the amateur game the rest of us play, and some irreverent stuff in between. There will be short interviews, previews, reviews, and dives into the archives. It provides what you need to know on golf through a rapid and fun catch-up discussion.The Fried Egg Golf

    Rory re-emerges in Canada, The Clanton hype train, Early reports of Oakmont brutality
    Jun 4 2025
    Andy and Brendan are in high spirits for this "Victory Wednesday" recording focused on the Canadian Open. The two discuss the results from "Golf's Longest Day" of U.S. Open qualifying. Amateurs lit some sites up, Cam Young advanced in a playoff, and Zac Blair found his way in at Springfield yet again. There's some LinkedIn chatter after "dental coach" Matt Vogt advanced to Oakmont from the Walla Walla, Washington site. Andy and Brendan ponder whether big-name players that failed to qualify at east-coast events should have flown out to the west coast to play different competition. The two then move to the RBC Canadian Open, where Luke Clanton will debut as a pro and Rory McIlroy re-emerged after his interesting week at Quail Hollow. Andy and Brendan discuss Rory's pre-tournament press conference and his comments about his driver failing testing at the PGA and the ensuing decision to not speak with the media after any tournament round. PJ pops in to preview the American Family Insurance Championship, a Champs Tour team event, before Brendan gives his "Event of the Week" to this week's DP World Tour stop in Amsterdam. In news, the Fireballs have a new signing and Scottie Scheffler is officially headed to Bethpage!

    Another week, another Sunday episode reacting to a Scottie Scheffler win on the PGA Tour. Andy and Brendan recap Sheriff Scottie's 16th career victory after he defeated Ben Griffin by four shots at The Memorial. Brendan reads through some stats to help put Scottie's three-year run in some historical context before Andy runs through Scheffler's 2017 Walker Cup teammates to show how much his game has improved in eight years. The two are downright giddy that Ian Baker-Finch dropped a "Sheriff" on the broadcast on Sunday which was promptly added to the soundboard. Andy and Brendan also tie up some loose ends on The Memorial by chatting about strong weeks from Ben Griffin and Sepp Straka. Speaking of good weeks, Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler made the most of their sponsor exemptions and Andy is not happy about these free invites into Signature Events. The U.S. Women's Open had some setup issues at Erin Hills after near-six hour rounds became the norm all week long. Maja Stark won her first major championship, another first-time winner at the U.S. Women's Open. Brendan and Andy also discuss Lexi Thompson's stance that she did not "retire" after her sendoff last season. The two then finish up the recap portion of the show with notes from the Austrian Open and a playoff edition of Champions Tour Minute before previewing "Golf's Longest Day" on Monday, even though the name may no longer accurately describe the event.

    Tour Champ and Courier Cup get bold new format, NCAA gamesmanship, and Charlie Woods wins

    Whiparound Fridays continue as Andy and Brendan cover everything from the quarterback room of the Cleveland Browns to the drinking water at the Austrian Open in this episode. After crowning the Austrian Open as his "Event of the Week," Brendan was swarmed with information about the tournament and its history. He informs Andy about the past "tee up" rounds where every shot could be played off a tee and shares that the drinking water may be causing some issues for players on the course. The main portion of this episode focuses on the changes to the Tour Championship and FedEx Cup Playoffs that were announced Tuesday afternoon. Andy and Brendan discuss the removal of "Starting Strokes" from the Tour Championship and whether these changes will be enough to fix what has become a broken playoff system. With the playing field evened out at East Lake, they then debate who the worst-case scenario winner of the 2025 FedEx Cup would be. Meanwhile at the U.S. Women's Open, slow play is once again the topic of discussion with rounds nearing six hours on Thursday afternoon. Andy and Brendan then recap the NCAA Championship and some gamesmanship by an Oklahoma State player that should have him in Ryder Cup conversations. In other news, Charlie Woods is an AJGA winner, Good Charlotte is headed to Bolingbrook this summer, Blockie's angling for Champions Tour exemptions, and Bryson may have some nice digs in Washington D.C. ahead of LIV Virginia next week. To wrap things up, Brendan shares an amusing story from his trip to a diner with PJ.
