Hello friends and welcome to this golf podcast, unlike any other, oh yes sir, we are back,

0:18.7

it is time for some fairway, the golf podcasts on the Ringer podcast network. I am your starter,

0:36.6

Joe House on the line as he always is our PGA tour correspondent on the ground. Nathan Hubbard,

0:44.8

we have a special appearance by a special guest on today's show, this gentleman actually

0:51.5

communicated by way of FaceTime with Max Homa, the PGA tour champion of the Genesis Open

1:00.6

at Riviera moments after Max's victory. So we have to talk to our homeboy Ryan Resillo,

1:08.2

the first tee is open, Nate and I will go ahead and get started as a two ball, throw a couple pegs

1:13.8

2:17.4

four o'clock in the afternoon here on the East Coast, maybe even later than that, actually it was

2:22.7

definitely later than that, and it was just the back nine at Riviera where guys really started

2:30.6

to separate themselves. It was the 10th hole that DJ hit a cheetah, hit the ball behind a tree,

2:36.6

and then hit the tree on his chip, but like, oh, DJ's done, you can cross him off. They stop

2:41.0
