Summary

This Monday episode begins with reaction to the WGC Match Play finale, where Scottie Scheffler ascended to OWGR No. 1. Andy and Brendan consider whether this achievement, in light of Scheffler’s emotional reaction, has gained stature approaching a major win among younger players. They discuss several other match play quibbles and delights from the weekend in Austin, including Kevin Kisner's ability to compete at a place where he can use the slopes. Masters Fact of the Day hits on the time a patron jumped in the pond at the 16th hole, and also a story about Andy bringing some Elijah Craig bourbon on a flight with him this weekend. News is more story time, with tales of a Euro Tour robbery on the road in South Africa and listeners putting “Zatch” to use out in the real world. They close with rumblings of Tiger walking rounds out at Medalist this past week and what it might mean for a competitive start in April.

1:05.0	I can't even remember who I took.
1:08.0	The Corralis Punta Kanna, how much did Punta Kanna did you watch this week? Any of it? Is that because you feel the vent dead?
1:15.0	We love, we love, and those people get their chance to shine, but it feels like they've really sort of faded an appeal.
1:23.0	I don't know why we're talking about this.
1:24.0	You know what? I was watching on Saturday, I was watching the match play, and it just, it switches over so fast, and Punta Kanna came on, and I was like, oh, God, get this off my screen.
1:36.0	Yeah, that happened to me a couple of times this week.
1:41.0	But in the main event, I suppose, we call it that Scotty Sheffler wins WGC Match Play, Dell Technologies Championship, or whatever it's called, longest title and golf, becomes number one in the world.
