The two debate where JT stands in a historical context with 16 PGA Tour wins to his name, comparing him to players such as Jordan Spieth and Zach Johnson. From there, things go a bit off the rails as Andy shares some Disney reports from Brendan's trip ongoing trip to Florida before PJ provides an update on where the "ins" finished at Puntacana. Shane and Andy talk through Joel Dahmen's bogey-bogey-bogey finish to his final round, allowing Garrick Higgo to win his second career PGA Tour event.
