Ben and Sam chat to Ryan Fox just before the two-time PGA Tour winner heads out to Portrush to prepare ahead of the Open Championship, which he reveals is the major he's most suited to.

There's a word on Padraig Harrington's senior major win, some latest news, and then previews of a busy week including Open Championship qualifying.

Ben and Sam are on hand to preview the US Open from Oakmont Country Club, considered by many to be the toughest golf course in America. The trouble is, this is Sliced, and that means more than just the highest level of men's professional golf, so it does take our duo a good half an hour to get onto all the important business of winning a major championship. Before then it's Ryan Fox, TV coverage, Connor Syme, LIV merch out in the wild, and sleep deprivation.

Highest Bidder is a nail-biter, too...

We hear his thoughts on the state of golf, including in France, Europe's Ryder Cup prospects, and what makes players like Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose 'aliens'.

Ben and Sam begin episode 17 of Sliced with a recap of Marco Penge's breakthrough win, although with no TV pictures it's difficult to know exactly how it happened. There's also a look back on the first women's major of the year and a dramatic if manufactured ending, followed by the latest golf news including a new app from a two-time major champion. After that there's time for your questions and Highest Bidder, but between those two segments Sam also reveals who won our first ever competition.

Ben and Sam pass another new milestone with their first major championship special, and what a way to begin as they talk all things The Masters (once they've gone through Ben's backdrop and the scandal of the fake lefty). Our duo share their first Masters memories and their favourite renewals of the first major of the men's season, before profiling every player under 100/1. Then, Ben has the simplest of tasks in Highest Bidder, but hopes nobody makes winning a green jacket look that simple come Sunday. Unless it's McIlroy...

He talks to us about what that event has meant to his life and career and how much of an influence Sam Torrance was on his successful captaincy in 2024.

We talk Rory and the Masters and then Paul has a crack at Highest Bidder.
