Shinnecock and shot clocks; backstops and bandits

A comprehensive preview of this week's US Open at Shinnecock Hills in Long Island. And we catch up with Graeme McDowell who tells us what it's like to win the tournament.

Former Ryder Cup player and European Tour winner Oliver Wilson is part of the 5live team in Long Island so he's with us to look ahead to the 118th US Open from Shinnecock Hills. Graeme McDowell, who won this event in 2010, pops along for a timely chat and on the subject of time, we discuss the merits of last week's Shot Clock Masters in Austria. Also, would you ever intentionally help your playing partner? Former USPGA champion Jimmy Walker thinks it's okay, so we get a player's perspective on the issue of 'backstopping' which has been causing a stir this week. And our search for the elusive but brilliant Anthony Kim continues. At least we're geographically closer to tracking him down.
