Summary

With the holiday this week in the USA and the early finish in Detroit, Andy and Brendan jump on the horn for this Sunday edition. They are overjoyed with Rickie Fowler’s playoff win at the 3-1-3 Classic, where he birdied the last and then did it again in extras against Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin. They discuss the absolute hot streak that the PGA Tour is on this year, even at the events that are supposed to stink. Andy has some props for Rickie vs. Just A Guy and a Ryder Cup prognosis. That transitions to another rough week for JT, who is on the playoffs bubble and mired with the “SB2K” bug. Outside of Detroit, they discuss the lack of pop over on LIV but praise their slow play enforcement. There’s also a backboarding mess on the Euro Tour and record-breaking dominant win for another anchorman at the U.S. Senior Open.
