Summary

Shane Bacon and Andrew Putnam are back to recap last week's Barracuda Championship and look ahead to the rest of the PGA Tour season. The two start by talking through Xander Schauffele's win at the Open Championship before moving to Andrew's top-25 finish in Tahoe. Shane and Andrew hit on the pros of having a stableford scoring event on tour and how that can impact how players attack holes. After breaking down why the Barracuda is Andrew's favorite week on the calendar, the conversation shifts to Andrew's push towards this year's FedEx Cup Playoffs as the regular season hits the final stretch. This episode wraps with some questions from Andrew about Shane's broadcasting career and the golf content industry.
