As debates about pace of play abound on the world's professional tours, we get both sides of the argument from major champions Lucas Glover and Collin Morikawa about the 'aimpoint' green reading method. Is aimpoint an innovative, helpful way to plot out a putt? Or has it become a drag on pace of play that's goes against the etiquette of the game? Our crew of Damon Hack and Ryan Lavner weigh both sides of the issue. Corey Pavin might have earned his 15 PGA TOUR victories before aimpoint became prevalent on the circuit, but that doesn't mean he can't still roll 'em in! The 2-time winner of this week's Genesis Invitational stops by to talk about one of his favorite TOUR stops before he tees it up at the Chubb Classic on the PGA TOUR Champions. Due to the Palisades Fire earlier this year, the Genesis' was moved from it's regular home of Riviera Country Club to the South Course at Torrey Pines -- the same place where Andrew Novak nearly won the Farmer's Insurance Open several weeks ago. Novak stops by to discuss his near win, and how he feels about taking another crack at Torrey Pines for his first-ever TOUR win. Yeahlimi Noh doesn't have to wonder when her first win on the LPGA Tour will come! She comes on the show to discuss her maiden win last week at the Cognizant Founder's Cup.
