Summary

Greg DuCharme and Mark Immelman are on the podcast to breakdown today’s action from the Travelers Championship. Mackenzie Hughes was on 59 watch in the morning wave. What are the odds Hughes holds on to this lead through the rest of the week (1:14)? Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau carded some low rounds together on Thursday. Phil stood out by shooting a 6-under 64 in his first round as a 50-year-old. Is this a sign that Lefty can still keep up with the kids on the PGA Tour (8:45)? We wrap by discussing Sergio Garcia’s comments today about the PGA Tour’s handling of recent COVID cases. Does Sergio have a leg to stand on when he says people who didn’t expect cases were living in ‘la la land’ (18:40)?

0:00.0	Welcome to the first cut podcast. I'm Greg Dushar. I'm Greg Duhom, joined today by Mark
0:15.2	Emelman, and we're covering the first round action of the Travelers Championship. Mark,
0:19.5	would you make you the action today?
0:21.9	Well, first of all, welcome.
0:23.0	Thanks, man.
0:24.0	Good to be with you guys again.
0:29.0	It's been a while, I feel like I've been jaunting around the country and the PGA bubble.
0:33.7	And it's nice to sort of settle down and get to watch golf on a monitor.
0:37.5	You know, being in the studio was fun, you know, as opposed to being outside with one group. And, you know, the action, it was sort of what I've expected. That's a great golf course,
0:43.4	the TPC River Highlands, and it's, and we've seen a bunch of low scores over there. And, you know,
0:48.2	when in the morning time, you can get off to the place. And a few guys did. So that was fun to watch. And then I just enjoyed the afternoon
0:55.8	guys, you know, staying in the thick of the things because typically the wind picks up there
1:00.1	in the afternoon. And we saw Xander get it as deep as eight under. And we saw Victor Hovlin

1:12.2	That's for certain.
1:13.3	Well, speaking of a sprint, one player in particular got off to a Usain Bolt-like start.
1:18.8	That was McKenzie Hughes.
1:20.1	He shoots a 60.
1:21.5	He closed with five straight birdies on the front nine, makes the turn at six under. And he didn't even really
1:29.2	take full advantage of the only two par fives. He made a birdie on the 13th, but only a par at the
1:34.2	six. And he's coming off a 78 in his Sunday round at Harbortown. Are you surprised to see a 60,
1:41.9	but not only just to see the score of 60, a 60 from McKenzie Hughes?
