Summary

This Friday episode begins with an update on the other Players Championship, where there are multiple Coetzees in the field. Then Andy and Brendan react to the opening round at TPC Sawgrass, where Sergio went low and others imploded. They discuss the course setup, Rory’s potential abdication, the every shot live feature, the pin at 17, and Justin Thomas’ gripe about inconsistent firmness at that island green. There’s also chatter on the gambling gripes on rounds not finishing before darkness suspensions. Kevin Na is labeled as the opposite of Westy -- unsporting -- following his WD. Then, in honor of the great Fan Vote history at the Players, there’s a Fan Vote Friday Jr. segment highlighting the legend of Bobby Mac, who is making his Players debut this week. They close with Flashback Friday, and the subject is the Cajun Kiwi himself, the man who brought “The Town Crier” nickname to your PGA Tour Live broadcast.

Greetings and welcome to a Friday edition of the shotgun start. It is March 12th. Andy, how are we doing?

0:48.0

Brendan, I'm doing great. Just an excellent first day of the players.

0:54.0

Oh, it was awesome. Guys went low out there. Two rounds of 64, co-leaders Jared Harvey and Ulrich Vandenberg are leading at Dane Fair and Golf Estate in the players' championship.

1:09.0

On the sunshine tour. A bit of the week. Yeah, that's the players' championship. We're recognizing here first. A lot of guys went low. A lot of 65s. It appears there at least like eight or nine guys who shed 65.

1:25.0

George Kutsia is not in the field, but there's a Wally Kutsia and a Byron Kutsia. Multiple Kutsias, no George, but Wally and Byron Kutsia.

1:41.0

Well, the one spells it with an S and not a Z. Maybe that's just a prevalent surname in South Africa. I have no idea.

1:52.0

Jaco Prinsley was one off the lead. The show is 65. That's your players' championship update. How mad do you think the tour is that there's another players' championship this week?

2:06.0

You know, I don't think they care, but part of me also thinks they get so defensive about the players and aggressive about everything with the players. It could be a thing that legitimately bothers them.

2:18.0

Even though no one even knows it's happening besides this podcast. That's our other players. What a nice little update right off the top. I wasn't expecting that.

2:28.0

I was wondering where you're going with how it's like, I didn't think two guys shot 64 today. That's Sergio.

2:35.0

It's the best round to 65. You got me. I did. I was happy about that. Every now and then, set you up and knock it down.

R is in Roger. A is in Alpha. D is a Dog. D is in Dog. Y is in. What is Y?

3:12.0

I had to pass this pilot's test for the FAA recently. I had to memorize all the acronyries.

3:19.0

Oh really? Yeah. So there's like official terms. You got to say Alpha and all that stuff.

3:25.0

Alpha. I don't know. I don't know. You can't remember why it's UConn maybe. Why might be UConn?

3:34.0

Wow. I would have loved to be in a fly on the wall when you were taking that test.

3:38.0

I got 85%. That's not bad. What does that see? 85. That's a B. That's a solid B.
