Summary
Andy and Brendan roll into another major week with pro golf on a bit of high following impressive wins by Rory McIlroy and Rose Zhang. But first, Blockie. They didn’t intend to go there, but they react to some early scenes of Michael Block’s arrival at the PGA, the threshold for getting a “Miracle” documentary made about you, and some props for the week. Then they belatedly get to Rory McIlroy going supernova in Charlotte to win for the fourth time at Quail Hollow. What impressed them most and what does it mean for his career resume? Can we see it at major next? They also discuss Xander Schauffele falling off when it became winning time. On the LPGA, they hail Rose Zhang’s return to the winner’s circle in a crazy two-person duel in Jersey. Chris Gotterup’s career over-under wins are put in the Gainz zone. The plight of the Champions Tour winner is empathized with after they learn about his surgeries the past year. They close it out with news on RBC threatening the PGA Tour about its sponsorships, and the finalization of the PGA Champ field.
