The LPGA heads to Scotland for the Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open at Gullane Golf Club this week. We caught up with Brittany Lincicome and got the low down on what the PGA TOUR experience was like. She talks about the differences between playing on the LPGA and the PGA, if she'd ever do it again, who should be the next LPGA pro to play in a PGA event and if she would make the cut if given ten cracks. Since the LPGA is in the home of golf this week, we caught up with Scotland's own Catriona Matthew, who will captain Team Europe at the 2019 Solheim Cup. Matthew started playing at Gullane as a 12 year old and is a member of the course to this day. The interview touches on links style golf, playing two weeks after the men and what she thinks the winning score will be. For our roundtable segment, the LPGA's Chief Communications and Tour Operations Officer Heather Daly Donofrio, who played on the LPGA, joined to discuss the impact of Brittany on the PGA, the future of an LPGA-PGA mixed event and the looming fourth major of the year.

What's it like to caddie on the LPGA? What's it like to caddie for the most prominent player of the last decade plus?

In our roundtable discussion, Amy Rogers, Ron Sirak and Bret Lasky talk about Ariya Jugtanugarn's first win of the year at the Kingsmill Championship, the passing of Carol Mann and Michelle Wie's history at the U.S. Women's Open. We also play "Go for it or Lay up" and explore Nasa Hataoka's upside, Brooke Henderson's chances at the U.S. Open and Juli Inkster vs. Catriona Matthew -- a little early Solheim Cup banter.

We also hear from eighties singer songwriter and golf fanatic Lloyd Cole, while Murcar is the club of the week.

Holly gives a shout out to Inbee Park who won the Wegman's LPGA Championship defeating Catriona Matthew on the third hole of a sudden death playoff. It was Park's seventh career victory and third major championship title. Harry English posted his first win of his PGA Tour victory at the FedEx St. Jude Classic holding off a strong finish by Phil Mickleson and Scott Stallings as the Tour sets up for the U.S. Open. Todd Lewis, the Golf Channel, calls in from Merion to talk about his interview with Lee Westwood as well as the weather and the shape of the golf course after all the rain. Close to 6 inches of rain has fallen on the course in less than a week. Todd also talks about the expectations of low numbers on the score at Merion. Holly and Todd talk about Phil Mickelson's whirlwind trip back and forth to the West Coast. Wednesday Phil flew out to attend his daughter's 8th grade graduation and then is supposed to arrive in the Philadelphia area around 4:15 in the morning and tee off a few hours later for his first round of the 113th U.S. Open. Todd is not sure if Phil is giving himself the best opportunity to win the major he so desperately wants. Todd and Holly also discuss the focused mindset of Webb Simpson and the chances of Pennsylvania native Jim Furyk. Todd feels that Rory McIlroy is not in the right spot with his game to win this major. Todd feels that Rory's switch of 14 clubs in his bag when he signed with Nike. Todd feels that it takes any player a while to adjust to any equipment changes they make and feels that it could take Rory until the final major of the season before he is completely dialed in with his new clubs. Philadelphia Daily News' Mike Kern, calls in from the press area in Merion to talk about the weather on the eve of the U.S. Open. Mike has written a series of article about Merion hosting the U.S. Open. "The thing about Merion is that the rough is always tough and needs to be that way since the course is short."  Mike said that the rough is akin to rough on the Tour about 10-15 years ago. Tony Leodora, Golfstyles Magazine and host of Golf Talk Live, calls in to wrap up the show. Tony and Holly talk about Ben Hogan's famed 1-ron shot at Merion. Tony said that he favors the older players to do well at Merion because of their patience and experience. Those two elements are really the key to winning the 113th U.S. Open.
