Los mundos alucinantes de Julia, Scottie y Rocco

·1 hr 16 min·5 clips

Rafa Nadal played TPC Sawgrass this weekend, but was it Scottie Scheffler, Julia López, or Rocco Repeto who truly owned the week?

The episode begins with hosts Alejandro Rodríguez and David Durán greeting listeners and listing the weekend's key golf events. They mention Rafa Nadal playing at TPC Sawgrass's Stadium Course, noting his scratch handicap. The analysis then shifts to Julia López's performance at the US Open. The hosts detail her strong third-round 68, which put her in the final pairing, but describe her final-round collapse, including a triple bogey on the 72nd hole that dropped her to 19th place. They debate whether this was unfair or simply a cruel twist of golf. They praise her mental resilience and highlight that she made the cut in all three majors she has played. The conversation turns to other Spanish performers: Carolina López-Chacarra made the cut as an amateur, and Carla Bernat and Paula Martín showed promise. Maya Stark's US Open win is analyzed, with hosts noting her competitive demeanor and status as the first European woman to win that major since Annika Sörenstam in 2006. A significant segment is dedicated to Scottie Scheffler's victory at the Memorial Tournament. The hosts cite his statistics: an 18-point lead in the world rankings, a 21.3% win rate (16 wins in 75 starts), and a record of winning all nine recent events where he held the Sunday lead. They compare his dominance to Tiger Woods and discuss his preparation for the upcoming US Open at Oakmont. The final major segment is an interview with Rocco Repeto, a Spanish golfer who just won a Challenge Tour event. Repeto explains he turned professional only nine months ago, in August, and this was his second Challenge Tour start. He credits the Fairways and Greens Foundation, founded by his coach Dani Colomar, for supporting his travel and expenses, which was decisive for his transition to pro golf. He describes himself as an aggressive player and discusses his multicultural background (Italian, Irish, Spanish). The hosts express excitement about his rapid rise and the strong generation of young Spanish golfers. The episode concludes with a preview of Repeto's next tournament in the Czech Republic.
