It was yet another eventful weekend in golf with the Playoffs drawing nigh and seasons ending in Greensboro at the Wyndham Championship. Brendan is joined by Joseph LaMagna to break down all the drama from the PGA Tour finale and the potential Ryder Cup implications but first … the Thicc Boi! They begin with Bryson DeChambeau, his incredible 58 at LIV Greenbrier, if there’s an asterisk for preferred lies, and his self-correcting Krank driver that he alluded to in a staggering quote. There’s plenty of praise for the Thicc Boi, his insights on going super low, his run of form and if he’s a better option for the Ryder Cup than Justin Thomas, who missed the FedExCup Playoffs by one spot in Greensboro. Joseph and Brendan run down the list of Ryder Cup options and where JT might slot and if “deserve” has anything to do with it. Who’s on the team now and are we all overreacting to small samples? They also discuss Lucas Glover, his win, his long putter, and his spicy comments on the new PGA Tour cutoffs and signature events. The notion of “bad breaks” for Russ Henley is also disposed of and they close with some thoughts on a journeyman player trying to “hack” the AON Risk-Reward Challenge for that bonus $1 million.

The Shotgun Start with Andy Johnson and Brendan Porath of Fried Egg Golf is a podcast waiting for you early in the morning that quickly blasts through a variety of topics (usually) related to golf and (ideally) relevant to the day. It covers news from the pro tours around the world, amusing and important topics from the amateur game the rest of us play, and some irreverent stuff in between. There will be short interviews, previews, reviews, and dives into the archives. It provides what you need to know on golf through a rapid and fun catch-up discussion.
