Summary
This Wednesday episode is a wide-ranging look at all the games within the game this week -- the top 125 to make the playoffs, the ISP Top 10, the Risk-Reward Challenges, the cards at the KFT, the U.S. Amateur finalist perks, and much more. Andy and Brendan begin with the Wyndham Championship, where Matthew Wolff could win seven figures in the risk-reward challenge. There’s also general confusion over the Business Tour Top 10. They both offer one choice they’d like to see play his way into the top 125 this week. Then it’s on to the event of the week, the U.S. Amateur at Oakmont and uniquely spelled Longue Vue. They hit on the stroke disparity between the venues during the first day, and the stroke disparity between a crispy Oakmont and a rain-soaked one for the second round. There’s a lengthy and often incorrectly informed discussion on what Cazoo, which is now sponsoring another Euro Tour event this week, does as a company. The Journeyman of the Week is Sean O’Hair, who is playing Wyndham and well outside the top 125 in the FEC standings. O’Hair’s career highlights, the infamous upbringing, and current Tour status are covered in this closing segment.

| 0:00.0 | Now the shotgun's starting golf is full of mathematics, there's a lot of a lot of setup 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. |
| 0:15.0 | All right, all right, all right, get to men, start your engine! |
| 0:29.0 | Greetings and welcome to a Wednesday additional shotgun start, it is August 11th, Andy, how we doing? |
| 0:45.0 | Brendan, I'm doing okay, just a long day and ready to talk about the last week, you know, I think I'm just ready for the finality of the season, draws to close. |
| 1:03.0 | I'm ready for the first has such a simple objective win and you're in. |
| 1:10.0 | What does that mean? In the playoffs, in the tour, in the everything. |
| 1:40.0 | The finality of the season, I don't know, I mean, it seems like you're suggesting you're ready for it to be over, not you're excited for the drama, that the finality of the season breaks. |
| 1:50.0 | Well, I'm excited about the close of the con cast tour, top 10. |
| 1:57.0 | Patrick, are you just WD? There's so many games within the games this year, this week, you know, you got the 25 cards in the KFT, you've got obviously like 125 cut off, you've got con cast business tour, top 10s, you've got PIP, which will never, will never be publicized. |
| 2:17.0 | PIP is very under the table stuff, that's not, they don't have a brand sponsor for that yet, you've got, I don't know, the amateur final, I guess, you know, there's game within the game for that, getting this just to the final. |
| 2:30.0 | So yeah, there's a lot of moving parts just going on. How about the con cast? Can we talk about the con cast tour, top 10? |
| 2:38.0 | Well, of course we can, we can always talk about the con cast business tour, top 10, capitalize tour, capitalize top, all caps, as I was corrected today by Will Gray, you know, you give me 10 spins of that wheel, I might get it all correct once, but yeah, what do you want to talk about with it? |
| 2:57.0 | Louis is the only player in the top 10 in the field this week at the Wyndham. Thank God Wyndham is out as the sponsor of the top 10 also, you know, for their success. |
| 3:09.0 | The extra men on pillow rewards didn't last but a year or two, right? So one player at the top 10, this is, you know, they're giving out what is it, 10 extra million dollars. |
| 3:20.0 | I think divided by 10, right? Is that correct? Starting with two for first place? I think two for first. Yeah. Okay. All right. So you got one of the top 10 playing to, you know, lock up his final position. |
| 3:36.0 | You've got three actually two now that read that read WD. There's only two other two guys in the field that get into the top 10. It's cocrackers one. |
| 3:48.0 | Cocrack and Hadecki are the only two. That's it. The whole point of this was to make this tournament more exciting. It's exciting for the, you know, the 125 200 thing. |
| 4:03.0 | But, but this is the whole point of the tournament. The whole point of this comp kit was to get more of the players playing this week. |
| 4:13.0 | Doesn't look at second, second euro doesn't look like it's working. Might need to go back to the drawing board. Figure out, figure out a new scoring system for the regular season. |
| 4:25.0 | Add some more capitalization. There's not enough. I was legitimately like, because, of course, no one knows this shit off the top of their head. I was legitimately curious like, huh, I wonder, did that thing close last week? Is it open still? Is there movement this week? So I went and looked. |
| 4:44.0 | And like the landing page on PGA Tour.com. It gets you there. I'm like, okay, but here's the 10. I want to know like who's on the outside? Who's playing? So I click like see full stand. So I click this links is show me the full like what's the full race for the Comcast Business Tour top 10 reader. |
| 5:04.0 | That's all it is. That's all it is. They can't even bother to come up with a separate URL. That's just branded Comcast Business Tour race outside of the top 10. They just couldn't they couldn't do it. I was like, I look up and like, huh, I'm just on the FedEx Cup standings page. I guess it's all the same. So yeah, but the key takeaway from all this is, you know, if if you're an enterprising. |
