Summary

Andy is back from his travels and joins Brendan to get caught up on this holiday weekend of golf. This episode starts with a lengthy Senior PGA Championship recap after PJ's journey down the eastern seaboard to Congressional Country Club. PJ shares his observations from the ground, touching on back-to-back major champion Angel Cabrera's aptly-named equipment, Richard Bland's insistence on hitting driver all over the place, and some substantiated rumors about new podcast folk hero Don Rea Jr. Andy and Brendan then recap the Charles Schwab Challenge where Ben Griffin won his second PGA Tour event of the season. They debate Griffin's early case for inclusion on this year's American Ryder Cup team and Brendan shares a touching moment from Griffin's post-round presser on Sunday. In news, Rory McIlroy is skipping this week's Memorial Tournament, Will Zalatoris undergoes back surgery, and Lucas Glover presents a conspiracy about driver testing on the PGA Tour.
