Summary

Patrick Reed notched his 8th career PGA Tour victory and 2nd WGC. We go into what earned a victory for the golfer formerly known as ‘Captain America’ (1:00). The tournament was Bryson DeChambeau’s to lose in Mexico, what went wrong during our favorite physicists’ final round (10:30). Rory McIlroy notched a top-five finish despite having a less than stellar week on the putting surface. What can we expect from the number one ranked player in world when we hit the Florida swing (20:00)? Jon Rahm had a roller coaster week in Mexico, what went wrong for Rahmbo after his amazing 61 on Saturday (28:10)? Justin Thomas delivered a disappointing two-over performance on Sunday, should we be concerned about his “Club Pro Guy-esque” performance in round four(33:40)? We also bring you an update on the official ‘First Cut One and Done’ league where everyone dogs Mark for once again picking a dud (38:50). Viktor Hovland notched his first PGA Tour victory at the opposite-field Puerto Rico Open. That tournament has produced a bevy of fantastic runner-ups but winners never seem to find much success afterward winning. Can Hovland be the one to break this trend (47:00)? ————————— 'First Cut' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
