Andy and Brendan are joined by Kevin Van Valkenburg and Joseph LaMagna to discuss the sudden passing of Dan Hicks, the voice of golf on NBC. The four share memories of Hicks's long career at NBC and his time spent in the golf booth alongside analysts like Johnny Miller and Paul Azinger. After two days taking in the sights and sounds at Omni Barton Creek, Joseph checks in with some on-the-ground insight from the Austin Championship, where the locals are longing for the Dell Match Play. Andy takes a look at the history of the Race to Dubai winners and deems Eugenio Chacarra a Ryder Cup lock if he's able to secure the season-long title this week. Nelly Korda also has a career achievement on the line, as she needs one more point to earn a spot in the LPGA's Hall of Fame. To close out the show, KVV shares a Mercedes Flashback on the 2006 Tour Championship, played 20 years ago last week.
