Summary
What a weekend in professional golf! Andy and Brendan get together for their usual Monday episode recapping it all, starting with an amateur winning on the PGA Tour for the first time in 33 years. They discuss Nick Dunlap’s win at the American Express and if they were more surprised it happened or that it took this long. They also debate whether he should turn pro right now or play out his spring season with Alabama. Other AmEx recap subjects include JT’s performance and Brandel’s performance in the booth. There is also a hearty Thirst Bucket of the Week debate and a quick Tosti Tale. Then they get to Rory McIlroy’s win in Dubai and his longevity of elite performance and winning. They also contrast the DP World Tour presentation with the PGA Tour’s later in the day. They close with some thoughts on Lydia Ko’s win, the Alker boy, and the LAAC.
