Summary
HAIL THE CONQUERING HERO... except for the four players ahead of him whom he didn't quite conquer. It was a great weekend for Eddie though as he finished 5th in the South African Open and is still in Stellenbosch to give us all of the details, including a hot putter, an unplanned equipment change and a caddie who simply enjoys it all too much. There is also discussion of Shane Lowry's meltdown at the end of Cognizant Classic in Florida and his admirable post-round chat with the media. The three then talk about the layers which are now clearly forming in the professional game and find time to praise the talent in British Women's golf as well as Chris Wood on the MENA Tour. They then wonder if Andy Murray will lay on a private jet to get Eddie back in time for a practice round ahead of the Sunningdale Foursomes. If he doesn't, he's just not taking it seriously.

| 0:50.5 | Actually, one email we had from Julian Lecky, |
| 0:53.4 | who says, 30 minutes in, total gibberish today. Time for the off button, not even the mute. Let me know when you revert to being a golfing platform. That's the one I've picked out of the... That came actually before the South African Open. Well, here we are. The golf podcast returns, Julian. Yeah, no, actually, no, we've got to let them know when we revert to being a golfing platform, |
| 1:13.6 | which I think will be today because we're going to get straight into golf. |

| 2:25.7 | are the way that you played? It was an unexpected good result I think is the best way of |
| 2:32.4 | putting it. My expectations were quite low heading into the week generally. |
| 2:37.0 | And also yesterday, I mean, it was a, I played quite nicely over the first two days, |
| 2:42.0 | particularly on Friday, bogey-free in quite tough conditions. |
