Summary
Andy and Brendan begin this Monday episode with the painful news of the death of Grayson Murray. They discuss the reaction to it across the golf landscape and his parents' impactful statement. If you are struggling, the 988Helpline is there as an immediate, 24/7 resource. They then discuss some the golf results from the weekend, beginning with Colonial, where a renovated course frustrated some and asked a few different questions than some other weeks on Tour. They praise Davis Riley’s effort and path to this point, and close it with an amusing Tosti Tale from the Colonial locker room. They discuss Dick Bland’s Senior PGA win and where he might rank on the LIV roster right now, as well as future senior tour plans. They close with some NCAA golf talk and “alma mater minute” on Illinois’s crazy run with less heralded recruits.
