Summary

The TOUR Championship has arrived! We’re breaking down the first round on today’s episode of The First Cut Golf Podcast… It’s deja vu all over again as Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm trade birdie putts on the links. Neither player has fallen from their lofty starting positions, is this tournament now a two-horse race (2:01)? Justin Thomas has leveraged his starting position in the tournament to turn in an impressive card on Friday. What can JT do in order to win a second FedEx Cup title (7:53)? Rory McIlroy is getting the baby bump in his first round as a father. Can he turn today’s 64 into another win at the TOUR Championship (12:10)?  After the break we take a look at the leaderboard and ponder who could make a run tomorrow in round 2 of the TOUR Championship (21:15). ————————— Check us out on YouTube for video podcasts and exclusive content, visit https://www.youtube.com/FirstCutPodcast 'First Cut' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.  Follow @FirstCutPod on Twitter and Instagram Follow our hosts on Twitter: @KylePorterCBS, @mark_immelman, @RickRunGood, @therealGFD For more golf coverage from CBS Sports, visit https://www.cbssports.com/golf/ To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
