Summary
Andy and Brendan could not wait any longer, so this was recorded as the Match at Moonlight Basin was on the 14th hole or so and still finishing up sometime in hour five. They offer some initial reactions to the made-for-TV event, including Bryson’s stiffness and whether he got straight up outplayed by Aaron Rodgers. They also discuss the outrageous pace of play and a course that looked like it would make many want to quit. There’s also the subject of Fake Bears. The event of the week is the Scottish Open, which is also the subject of the second leg of the Coffee Pot (enter that pool here folks). They discuss Renaissance Club, the Americans overseas chasing a Race to Dubai title, and whether Billy Boy may be able to try some new baton tricks on the firmer linksy turf. Over on the PGA Tour, they lament the Deere’s spot on the schedule while praising its mission and location and its existence. News hits on the new Nicklaus-Jacklin award that very few people could have asked for and Sunny Kim’s continued dominance at Abacoa.

| 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. |
| 0:14.0 | And here we go. |
| 0:17.0 | All right, all right, all right. |
| 0:21.0 | Determine! Start your engine! |
| 0:29.0 | Greetings and welcome to a Wednesday edition of Shotgun Start. It is July 7th. Andy, how are we doing? |
| 0:48.0 | Brendan, I'm doing great. We got another match to really chew on tonight and just see another major championship winning golfer get taken down by his amateur playing partner, cohort, |
| 1:11.0 | you know, cornerback, NFL cornerback, outplace. Air Rogers outplayed Bryson today. He was better. He was frankly better. |
| 1:23.0 | He was making cuts. He was hitting fairways. The match isn't technically over yet. It seems like he's always just mysteriously going down to the last hole. |
| 1:35.0 | We are giggling here because we just decided to say the hell with this. We're recording. We're just, I mean, this course looks just like this course looks like I would basically want to run and jump off the side of one of these mountains before I got to maybe even 18. |
| 1:53.0 | I don't know what you think you would shoot out here. I will say it's absolutely stunning, like where it is. Of course the visuals are stunning. |
| 2:02.0 | But the golf course looks like I'd be losing balls. Like I'd look out through two dozen golf balls. I mean, I'm not good. I'm not horrible, but I need some room. |
| 2:14.0 | And it doesn't appear to be have much of that. These guys are struggling. Phil is struggling. The Bryson half the time is Tom Brady wandering in the woods. |
| 2:24.0 | Like Tom Brady. Yeah, he's allegedly what? Like a six or something. |
| 2:30.0 | There's no way he's a six. The guy. I think I think he's a proxy for the every man golfer, which is tremendous that the Tom Brady represents the every man golfer. |
| 2:45.0 | Oh, he's such an every man looking like complete, you know, runway model. And is every man Tom Brady, horrible golf. He's just terrible. |
| 2:57.0 | Whenever he's got a hit a shot, he hits it like off the planet left or way right. You know, I cannot believe this thing is still going on. We recorded 1024. |
| 3:09.0 | As I speak right now, Eastern. They came on the air five o'clock. They're on 14 or they have 15, 14, 15. They're not even six hour six hour around. |
| 3:22.0 | They're like playing. They're playing alternate show after the tee shot. What has happened here? Air Rogers is driving around. His orange whip is just rattling around behind him. I don't know if that's a ramp placement. |
| 3:33.0 | I think he's pissed off. He was pissed off early. He said something like, I don't know how we're only on the six hole right now eight holes. I hope people are still tuning in. I would like. |
| 3:44.0 | It prices never ready to play. They go to commercial for 10 minutes. They come back and he's like, oh, I got to figure out what I'm doing here. He's got. |
| 3:53.0 | There's much from his protein bar all over his hands. That's not done as calculations. And they're waiting on him after coming back from a 10 minute commercial break. I don't understand how we're five and a half hours into the start of this broadcast. |
| 4:05.0 | And we're still like, got three or four holes to play. How did this happen? |
