Summary

Andy and Brendan are buzzing on this Monday episode, recorded immediately after the playoff finish at VidantaWorld. Andy is claiming a Victory Monday for Illinois after Brian Campbell took down Aldrich Potgieter at the Mexico Open. The two unpack Sunday's stretch run that led to the two-man playoff. They discuss Potgieter's first pop-up on a PGA Tour stage, how he leveraged his driving distance into a second place check, and some of the decisions he and his caddie made that may have cost him the win. Andy and Brendan also react to Campbell's final drive of the event, destined to go out of bounds before hitting a tree and bouncing back into play. They share some disappointment in the performances of Aaron Rai and Stephan Jaeger as both failed to convert on chances that could have resulted in a win. Elsewhere, Brendan shares some listener reporting from the Magical Kenya Open, won by Jacques Kruyswijk. On the LPGA Tour, Angel Yin won the Honda LPGA Thailand and A Lim Kim's use of aimpoint on a tap-in went viral late Saturday night. A roundup of weekend news closes this episode, with Andy and Brendan touching on Tony Finau's one-match deal with LAGC, Eamon Lynch's reporting on the PIF-PGA Tour White House meeting, and Jordan Spieth playing next week's Cognizant.
