Summary

Phil Mickelson becomes the oldest golfer to win a major, defeating a talented field at the PGA Championship. Bob and Mitch discuss this remarkable accomplishment and debate if Phil could win another major. How the course and mother nature played a role. The mob scene at the 18th that left Brooks Koepka un-happy. And how Lefty's win counters the awfulness of the Tiger Woods accident. Plus, the NBA playoffs kicked off with a bang! How the young stars stole the show. Cause for concern for the Lakers? Can Memphis continue to ride their momentum? A glimpse into what Brooklyn can do with their big 3. And thoughts on having the fans back at these games/events... It sure makes a difference.
