Summary

Kyle Porter and Mark Immelman place a bow on the WGC-Mexico Championship and look ahead to the Florida Swing. For many people who follow the PGA Tour, this week was the first time getting a real exposure to South Africa’s Erik van Rooyen. Mark Immelman details why we should expect to see him at the top of leaderboards more often this season (6:40). Tyrell Hatton and Hideki Matsuyama led the field in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green in Mexico, are they contenders or pretenders for this upcoming major season (15:40)? Mexico’s top golfers Abraham Ancer and Carlos Ortiz are coming off a wonderful week in their native country. What are expectations for these guys moving forward this season (19:30)? Dustin Johnson has been traveling the world this year playing golf with less than spectacular results, what are the feeling about DJ moving into this crucial part of the PGA Tour season (23:00). The troubles continued for Jordan Spieth at Chapultepec, how can he turn his game around to climb up the Official World Golf Ranking instead of continue this fall (28:00)? Josh Teater isn’t a household name, but he represents a reality for most professional golfers across the world. We go into what a win or great finish can mean for these kind of journeymen players (36:10). Finally we wrap with a brief preview of the Honda Classic and whether or not Brooks Koepka’s lingering knee injury will have a major impact on his play moving forward (41:30). ————————— 'First Cut' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
