Summary
Andy and Brendan are together again at the Draddy House in Augusta. They are bursting with enthusiasm for the coming week and off a great Sunday of golf from Nelly’s outrageous 4th straight win, wild playoffs on both the PGA Tour and LIV, and a great ANWA finish. But first! They have some cleanup to do on the big New York Golf Club rollout that’s been neglected the last two episodes. Then they get to Nelly Korda winning AGAIN and what it means for her and the LPGA. The Akshay vs. Denny duel in Texas is marveled over at length in what was a wild Sunday of golf and shoulder injury interludes. Also at the Texas Open, they discuss Jordan Spieth taking a line to the roof of a hotel and getting relief from it. There is both exasperation and anger over the ruling and the play. On LIV, they discuss Mean Dean beating back Sergio and if he should get a Masters exemption. They have some thoughts on ANWA’s finish and the format that rewards great play at Champions Retreat. The last few minutes are unloading some tidbits from a day of gathering some scuttlebutt around Augusta.
