Summary

As the end of the PGA Tour season draws near, there have been no shortage of interesting issues to discuss. In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg talk about the upcoming Ryder Cup rosters, Tommy Fleetwood's failure to close out the BMW (and whether it tells us something about his ability to handle pressure), and the fact that Rickie qualified for the Top 50 largely on the strength of sponsor's invitations into high-point signature events.
