Ned Reynolds and Scott Puryear break down an absolutely packed weekend in the sports world. We dive into the shocking finish at the PGA Championship where Aaron Rai held off the world's best to win his first major. We also evaluate the St. Louis Cardinals' reliance on close one-run victories, look at the struggling Kansas City Royals lineup, and chart out the path forward for the Missouri State Bears baseball team as they head to the Conference USA Tournament as a 3-seed.
Later in the hour, Chris Parker from the Ozark Sports Zone joins us to outline a massive week for local high school sports. We cover everything from individual state tennis and track to the highly anticipated Class 6 District 6 baseball bracket in Ozark featuring Glendale, Republic, Nixa, and Kickapoo. Plus, we talk about the strategic coaching nightmare of navigating MSHSAA pitch limits during expected spring rainstorms!
