Summary
Brendan is joined by Joseph LaMagna to recap an astounding end to Sunday at the Wyndham Championship with Matt Kuchar abandoning his ball on the 72nd hole due to darkness even as the rest of the field finished the tournament. The two dissect every angle of this unique situation, including a live reaction to Kuchar's explanation for this move and have a conversation about all of the people who will be affected by Kuchar's one-hole return on Monday morning. They then wrap up the Wyndham by giving props to Aaron Rai on his first career PGA Tour win and discuss Max Greyserman's wild finish that cost him the lead. After that, Joseph and Brendan talk through Lydia Ko's gold medal win at the Paris Olympics and both declare that they are "in" on Le Golf National after two weeks of quality golf. Before wrapping things up, Producer PJ jumps in for a Senior Tour Minute as Bob Papa was able to make it to Seattle for the Boeing this weekend following the Giants' preseason game on Thursday. To finish the episode, Joseph decides to share that he wasn't a fan of U.S. Men's Basketball's thrilling gold medal win over France despite Steph Curry's heroics.
