Chapter 1: What did Tony do on his weekend trip to Delaware?
Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we will talk to Michael Wilbon about the U.S. Open and the World Cup. We'll also check in with Steve Sands to get his thoughts on Wyndham Clark winning his second U.S. Open amid jeering. But first, commerce.
Previously on The Tony Kornheiser Show.
In Toronto, biggest city in Canada, biggest province in Canada, and what does FIFA do to help out the RBC Canadian Open and the good people at Golf Canada who run that event? What? Let's put Canada in Toronto in Game 1 of the World Cup at 3 p.m. on Friday, head-to-head against the golf tournament. Oh, man, the people up there were not happy about the schedule in there from FIFA, but whatever.
The World Cup blows. Who cares? Sorry.
The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now.
Sands will be on with us later. Sands always sends notes like sports is great. I love sports. Apparently not soccer. No. Not soccer. Let's do some business. Our dear friend Greg Garcia is appearing where and when?
This weekend? At the Arlington Cinema and Draft House this Friday and Saturday for four shows. He's opening up for Nick Thune. Okay. So his burgeoning stand-up career continues.
It's wonderful.
Go see him. Go see him. Arlington Cinema and Draft House this Friday and Saturday.

Chapter 2: How did Wyndham Clark perform in the US Open?
And Sam Burns just sort of ran out of gas to try and get to him at the end. I think this is... A rehab tour for Wyndham Clark, who, after yesterday's round, openly spoke about hearing the people jeering him.
Yes.
And actually, I understand why. And being very gracious about what Scheffler was trying to win in terms of finally closing out the career Grand Slam. And understanding that, you know what, I sort of have to own a little bit of why you people are jeering me as well.
And he compared it to what happened at 2023, which actually motivated him when you had everyone rooting for Rory down the final stretch. So... I think he gained a lot of fans, but I think you're right. It was a tournament that he really... Won it on day one.
He won it there. He gave himself a big lead there. He never relinquished the lead. He made, on Saturday and Sunday, not playing particularly well, he made some great par-saving putts. From four to eight feet. Did you hear that?
I think he was making about 81% going into the final round, and those are the ones. They always talk about the par saves at U.S. Opens. He made those putts.
He did those, and he threw in a 35-foot birdie putt on 16th. You know, this was there for the taking.
After being out of position off the tee and played the correct shot with that third. Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, which bounced up onto the green. He did everything he was supposed to do. It did not look particularly pretty. And it was there for somebody else. It was there for Scheffler. It was there for Burns.

Chapter 3: What insights did Michael Wilbon share about the US Open?
Michigan, while you are unburdened by memory, Uncle Al Michaels is clearly not. The stories he has are amazing. The littles want more. Yeah, you know, I wrote Uncle Big Al yesterday, and he said he could be on any time. That's crazy. You know, so we'll call him. We'll make sure it happens. From Steve the Sycophant. Dear Grandpa Satchmo Captain Potato Goat, my Legion Idol.
Want to feel really, really old, Satch? Remember Brian Wilson's Beach Boys hit Good Vibrations from 1966? We're now 12 years farther away from that classic than its release date was from the end of World War I. Do you feel ancient? Now try this. The Ford Model T. was first produced in 1908, and that is closer in time to the release of Good Vibration than our present day is, 58 to 60 years.
I'm heading directly to the old folks' home to listen to a Motown hits compilation. From Ben in Port Hueneme. That's how it's pronounced, Hueneme. Okay. Mike Tam in Weatherville, California's AI creation, El Telma Cancion del Saca de Correos is the greatest prompting of technology since Katherine Johnson calculated the trajectory that sent Alan Jepper to space on May 5th, 1961.
That was the song that we had.
Yes, that was the great. Yeah, we'll play that again.
From John Tagliarini. In Ankeny, Iowa, I ended up at Wrigley on Friday to watch the Midwest showdown between the Cubs and the Toronto Blue Jays. For science in your show, I asked every person I saw in a Blue Jay jersey if they considered Toronto a Midwest city. I'm happy to report 679 to 0 said no. Kenny Ray, Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
Someone needs to get Tommy Fleetwood to use the Johnny O code at the U.S. Open in Shinnecock. It looked like he went to Goodwill looking for a pair of 32-32 trousers, which they didn't have, so he settled for the 35-36s. Use the code, Tommy. He also wore a Shinnecock Hill shirt yesterday. He always does that. It's the best.
I'll take one of those. How can you not love Tommy Fleetwood?
How can you not love him? I do. One more. Years ago, when my daughter moved to L.A. to get married, she lived in Brentwood, took me to Tuscana. Al Michaels was sitting next to us, DJ. He's got a table. He's there every night. If you're out on your bike, as always, do wear white. Who is Tony? Tony Kornheiser.
