Sean Melia is joined by new writer and editor on the site, Justin Golba, to talk through some storylines of the US Amateur Championship which kicks off on Monday, August 14. Who will earn Walker Cup spots? How has the Elite Amateur Series impacted the summer season? Can an international win at Cherry Hills?

Then Justin has Gordon Sargent on to talk about his summer, competing at the US Open, what he's learned playing in pro events (including how to deal with a bad bounce at the US Open), and his Walker Cup selection.

NOTE: We recorded this before Michael Thorbjornsen's announcement that he would not be playing in both the US Amateur and the Walker Cup.
