Rory McIlroy wins The Players in windy, ‘nervous’ playoff after busy, contentious week at Sawgrass

View descriptionShare
 

“The boys” gather to fully debrief on the The Players Championship after Rory McIlroy came out on a Monday morning to beat J.J. Spaun for his second gold man trophy at TPC Sawgrass. Andy and Brendan discuss the golf nerd delights of the three-hole playoff in whipping winds on some of the most iconic and nerve-wracking holes in pro golf. They touch on Rory’s resume, current status, and future prospects with the Masters bearing down on the season. They review J.J. Spaun’s touch ‘em all ball into the water at 17, and his overall performance up against Rory. They discuss Scottie’s temper and the weird contentious vibes at times with the press between him and Morikawa, and Rory’s kerfuffle with a heckling fan earlier in the week. They ponder Scottie’s current trajectory, some other names that impressed and disappointed, and how the course, specifically the tree at 6, stacked up against the pros. They close it with some LIV Singapore thoughts and a look at the current Ryder Cup situation.
