Summary

This Monday episode begins with a discussion of some Chicago saloons, such as Lottie’s, the title sponsor of this week’s LPGA event, which Lydia Ko won on Saturday night. Brendan and Andy get into some of the astounding stats of Ko’s recent run, the brilliant pace of play, and what it could mean for a second peak. Then there’s an unplanned diversion into the Will County Amateur, where Tony Romo contended before a second-day fade. For the Heritage, they discuss Stewart Cink’s longevity, his kid caddie, and his past coach changes. Collin Morikawa’s frightening putter is also a topic as is the Si Woo Kim putt that hung on the lip for 40 seconds, leading to a mini-flashback to a similar issue that might have cost Denis Watson the U.S. Open after some tough justice from a rules official with an eye patch. The interminable Euro Tour playoff is covered as are the Peter Uihlein and Steve Stricker victories. News hits on the Town Crier ringing his bell and announcing his opinion on arm lock putting.

0:47.0	Brendan, I'm doing good. You know, I watched a lot of golf this week.
0:56.0	Yeah, yeah. I watched a lot of golf last week. I wouldn't say I watched a lot this week.
1:00.0	Yeah, I watched a lot. I had, I had, I was on baby duty, like all weekend, and I just, I got her set up, I got the TV, I got her set up, and I was just doing my best Jason Day rolling around on the ground.
1:15.0	On the play mat or whatever. Yeah, on the play mat with the baby and watch watching golf and the best Jason Day.
1:23.0	I didn't watch much at all. I mean, I got to be honest with you, like, you know how some of these crafty pictures just don't have their best stuff, and they'll try to junk ball their way through an outing, maybe they get shelled, maybe they don't.
1:34.0	I'm going to have to junk ball my way through to this podcast. I don't, I, like activities are starting to come back, and it's like when you have worked out,

1:49.0	I've just, we're not even doing a lot, but we got a little flag football. I went to a Nats game. There's just stuff to do in places to be that are starting to come back, and I'm here Sunday night. I'm out of gas.

2:24.0	I'm happy you watched a lot of golf.
2:26.0	Well, there wasn't much going on today in the golf. It was, it was a snooze fest.
2:30.0	You know, my in-laws came over in the, in the back nine. I think I would have probably fallen asleep on the couch if they weren't over.
