Summary
In this episode we find our intrepid trio separated by 9000 miles and twelve hours of time-zones with Iain in Florida, Andrew in the UK and Eddie in Hainan, having earned a late place in next week's tour event. By the wonders of technology they are all able to discuss a dramatic finish at The Players Championship where Cameron Young took the title and Matt Fitzpatrick came up just short. The three talk about the unconventional rise of Sudarshan Yellamaraju, wonder if they should be concerned about Scottie Scheffler and ask the crucial question 'Will Eddie say a word to his caddy this week?' There's also a new golfing goal for Iain and a history lesson on a 19th century Republican Senator, whether you want it or not.

| 0:52.2 | apart from this week, |
| 0:53.2 | it's always a five-hour time |
| 0:54.8 | difference. So it's almost baked into my psyche. So I've been really struggling with the four-hour |
| 1:01.1 | time delay. It made it very difficult for phoning home. I haven't spoken to Sarah since Friday. |
| 1:07.6 | So, mother's days come, gone, all of that. |
| 1:11.9 | Tricky. |
| 1:12.7 | Well, with the headlines of somebody being murdered in Jacksonville, |
| 1:15.8 | she's not worried that you are indeed that person, I hope, Ian. |
| 1:18.6 | No, no, no, shouldn't laugh. |
