Summary
Andy and Brendan are back on the horse! This Monday episode is slightly delayed, but it’s here and what it lacks in substance, it makes up for in amusement, hopefully. They begin with many thoughts on Jordan Spieth, the win at Harbour Town, his resume, and some ridiculous comps to Hall of Famers, both good and bad. Other Heritage thoughts revolve around Dylan Frittelli’s penalty for hitting a ball out of the trees and enhanced scrutiny on Patrick Cantlay. The results segment leads us down the path of discovery on KFT pro Pontus Nyholm, now nicknamed the Pontoon Boat. News hits on Bryson’s surgery, the Shark “chumming” the waters for LIV with some highly-ranked amateurs, and DL3 letting it slip that Phil may now be on the sidelines for the Bethpage Ryder Cup captaincy.

| 0:00.0 | Now the shotgun's starting golf is full of mathematics, there's a lot of set up work that we have to do in order to make a tournament work, so I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a shotgun start here. |
| 0:14.0 | And here we go. |
| 0:17.0 | All right, all right, all right. |
| 0:21.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, start your adventure! |
| 0:40.0 | Greetings and welcome to a Monday edition of Shotgun Start. It is April 18th. Andy, how are we doing? |
| 0:46.0 | Brendan, I'm doing all right. I'm out of health and safety protocols and I'm ready to part again. |
| 0:55.0 | Are you ready? It seems like you might be. We may be here at the early Monday morning here. I'm on vacation in air quotes with, you know, when you have four kids, it's never really vacation. |
| 1:08.0 | You know, it's just more stressful in a different, you know, unfamiliar location, and you are getting out of health and safety protocols. |
| 1:16.0 | We apologize for the delay here in recording, but, you know, we did 25 episodes master's week. We got a couple curveballs. |
| 1:26.0 | We couldn't get a Friday show together, you know, we're traveling. We're back on our feet. We're full steam ahead, though. Again, maybe not full steam, half steam ahead, but we're moving forward again, progressive. |
| 1:37.0 | I apologize. I apologize. Don't apologize to anybody. I mostly apologize to Davis Love III. I know this is a major week for him. |
| 1:45.0 | And we had a couple of guys that were super disappointing last week come out and play a playoff. So, you know, it was almost like they were honoring Davis Love with a no show. That's true. |
| 1:58.0 | That is at the heritage. That is one of, you know, there were many, many sort of treasures that we discovered in those spotlight series, which we'll continue. |
| 2:07.0 | I know people are asking for Chirino part two, like every other day. People pop us about that. It's coming. It's coming. We're in the research process. |
| 2:14.0 | Don't know when. We're trying to build suspense. Yeah. But like one of the treasures that I discovered that I loved one of my favorite treasures from that sort of research was the L3 talking about. |
| 2:27.0 | How he peaked, like physically informed for the masters. But mentally, he would just be on the fritz completely, you know, just crap himself every. |
| 2:39.0 | And then he calmed down the next week while the physical still I'm telling this for the tent time it feels like on the podcast. |
| 2:45.0 | The physical was still peak. You know, that was left over that tail carried over to the next week. |
| 2:51.0 | And then is mentally calmed down after Augusta. And that's why you won her heritage every time. And maybe that's what happened to Jordan's teeth. Although |
| 2:58.0 | Speed's master's record. I think it's a little more substantial than DL3s at this point, even in seven, eight years. |
| 3:05.0 | That awful, pre-shot routine is not good though. I mean, what do you have to say for yourself? He just won the RBC heritage. I'm literally down the street. |
| 3:15.0 | I have to say nothing. I have nothing to say. You got some spicy takes about this. Well, I know he handed the champion looking like that. He had a squirrely t-shot. The one t-shot he needed a good t-shot it looked like. |
