Summary

It was chaos and carnage at Olympia Fields for round 1 of the BMW Championship. On this episode we’re talking about the tough conditions and course setup on Thursday. Was last week’s tournament at TPC Boston maybe just a little too easy? Hideki Matsuyama is your solo leader after 18 holes. He has the ball-striking skills, but can that translate into staying power (9:28)? Tiger Woods struggled at the end of his round by going bogey-bogey-bogey over his final three holes. What is there to make of Tiger’s Thursday and can he make it over to East Lake (16:50)? We wrap with our top players to watch on Friday, conditions like this allow the cream to rise to the top, who do we have confidence in heading into the second round (21:15)? ————————— Check us out on YouTube for video podcasts and exclusive content, visit https://www.youtube.com/FirstCutPodcast 'First Cut' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.  Follow @FirstCutPod on Twitter and Instagram Follow our hosts on Twitter: @KylePorterCBS, @mark_immelman, @RickRunGood, @therealGFD For more golf coverage from CBS Sports, visit https://www.cbssports.com/golf/ To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
