Summary
It was yet another eventful weekend in golf with the Playoffs drawing nigh and seasons ending in Greensboro at the Wyndham Championship. Brendan is joined by Joseph LaMagna to break down all the drama from the PGA Tour finale and the potential Ryder Cup implications but first … the Thicc Boi! They begin with Bryson DeChambeau, his incredible 58 at LIV Greenbrier, if there’s an asterisk for preferred lies, and his self-correcting Krank driver that he alluded to in a staggering quote. There’s plenty of praise for the Thicc Boi, his insights on going super low, his run of form and if he’s a better option for the Ryder Cup than Justin Thomas, who missed the FedExCup Playoffs by one spot in Greensboro. Joseph and Brendan run down the list of Ryder Cup options and where JT might slot and if “deserve” has anything to do with it. Who’s on the team now and are we all overreacting to small samples? They also discuss Lucas Glover, his win, his long putter, and his spicy comments on the new PGA Tour cutoffs and signature events. The notion of “bad breaks” for Russ Henley is also disposed of and they close with some thoughts on a journeyman player trying to “hack” the AON Risk-Reward Challenge for that bonus $1 million.

| 0:00.0 | Now the shotgun's starting golf is full of mathematics, there's a lot of setup work that we have to do in order to make a tournament work. |
| 0:09.0 | So I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a shotgun start here. |
| 0:14.0 | And here we go. |
| 0:17.0 | All right, all right, all right. |
| 0:21.0 | Get the man. |
| 0:24.0 | Start your engine. |
| 0:28.0 | Greetings and welcome to a Monday edition of the shotgun start. It is August 7th, Joseph. How are we doing? |
| 0:54.0 | Brendan. |
| 0:57.0 | I'm great. Actually in the middle of I believe the longest consecutive streak of days of 100 degrees or more in Austin, Texas history. |
| 1:07.0 | So very good golf watching weather. |
| 1:11.0 | Weather talk. That's great. You know how to fit right in with a little weather talk up front, you know, fulfilling the Andy, the void of Andy, you know, telling us the central California update of whether it's too hot in the shed or too cold in the shed. |
| 1:23.0 | Never just right in the shed. It seems like, but Andy is out. We just got to give a shout out for the reason he's out. He's flying back from Will Knights is wedding. |
| 1:32.0 | So we got a shout out Mr. Will Knights, the new Mrs. Will Knights. I don't know if she took his name or not, whatever kept her own name, whatever it is. |
| 1:41.0 | Shout out to the Knights, the happy couple, shout out to Will, an essential part of the Friday keeps it all together. |
| 1:47.0 | He keeps us behind the scenes much more than probably people realize he keeps us together. So I wanted to shout out Will and congratulate him on the nuptials over the weekend. |
| 1:55.0 | We'll have to get a report from Andy. Get some details on how that went down out in the beautiful Utah, I think. So nice little mountain spot. |
| 2:03.0 | So Joseph jumps in. You're familiar with his work on the Friday. Where's your newsletter finding the edge so where people can search that. |
| 2:12.0 | Okay. So we're going to get through it. The end of the regular season on the PJ tour. Thick boy, less thick, less than thick boy jumping in planting his flag early in the day with a 58. |
| 2:24.0 | We'll write a cup buzz. Maybe we'll talk about that all of a sudden. |
| 2:29.0 | And, you know, the JT question, a little bit of drama at Wyndham largely due to the name that was on the bubble, the precise bubble as it would turn out 71 last guy out. |
| 2:42.0 | So it was not a bad Sunday or weekend of golf. We had Celine Boutier winning again, going back to back, not a bad weekend of golf. |
| 2:49.0 | What to you was the story of the day. What was most interesting to you? I guess I would put. |
