Podcast appearances and mentions of Jordan Spieth

Fellas are back to chat the Memorial, one of the best tournaments on the PGA Tour schedule. Bob breaks down what makes Muirfield Village so great, having been to the Memorial numerous times over the last few years.We also chat Jordan Spieth, and why he has to get going soon with the 2026 season getting closer to the finish.   Enjoy!

Make it a 7th top 20 for Jordan Spieth in the 2026 season. A top 20 rate of 50% for the year isn't too bad… if all of them weren't 12th to 20th place finishes! The fellas are back to chat the Nelson and give their thoughts on how this week compared to other similar finishes. Step in the right direction? Same old? Step back? We chat that.Also, stay towards the end as we give our picks for the event at Colonial this week. Apologies for no video on this episode. Technical difficulties came back to haunt us here but was able to recover the audio at least! Enjoy!

Wyndham Clark won a shootout at TPC Craig Ranch to win the 2026 CJ Cup championship. For the second straight year, the tournament winner got to -30, even after architect Lanny Wadkins guaranteed that his renovation would prevent that. We will talk all about the course be incredibly easy, to the resurgent play of Clark, who had been struggling the last few seasons on tour. We will also get into the play of Scottie Scheffler, Blades Brown, Jordan Spieth and others. This week, the PGA of America apparently learned nothing and named Keegan Bradley assistant captain for the 2027 Ryder Cup. Why do we keep going with the same captains and assistant captains over and over again? We will try to make sense of this and the Furyk pick for captain.

It was late Friday afternoon going into a holiday weekend, just when everyone should unplug from being online and go about their merry way. And they tried to slip one by us at the PGA of America with a letter to members that Don Rea had been suspended for the remainder of his term. So PJ, Joseph, and Brendan gather for some degenerate hours when they had zero expectation to be online on Friday for a happy hour chat. The Removal of Rea and at the absolute castration of Craig Ranch, where $25 million was spent in part to challenge the pros but scoring is as low as ever with Si Woo Kim almost breaking 60 and Jordan Spieth piling up birdies. Is Lanny Wadkins going to pop off at a soft PGA Tour setup? Will it become a circular firing squad? Would it have been better to light the money on fire? The Boys and Brendan gather to go through these two massive subjects on a Friday evening bonus episode thanks to the breaking news.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode, I welcome two outstanding guests who know what it takes to compete, teach, and win at the very highest levels of the game. First up is our resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri. We open up getting you some putting tips starting with the fundamentals like grip, set up, stance, ball position, and shaft lean. Staying with putting, we get into what's missing from Jordan Spieth's putting stroke that helped him rise to World No. 1. From there, Tom shares his thoughts on the PGA Championship, what we saw from Aaron Rai, and what we didn't see from Rory or Scottie. Then we transition to his stories of playing Shinnecock Hills, the site of this year's US Open, . Tom then weighs in on the current state of the PGA of America, what's gone wrong with their leadership in recent years, and a story about the time he met Tony Jacklin. Speaking of Tony Jacklin, he joins me next. Tony is a World Golf Hall of Famer, a 2 time major champion, and a four-time European Ryder Cup Captain. Tony reflects on Aaron Rai's win at the PGA, and Rai becoming the first Englishman to win the tournament in over a century. We then get into the details from his historic Open Championship victory, his 7 stroke victory in the US Open, captaining Europe to Ryder Cup success in the 1980s, and the unforgettable concession from Jack Nicklaus at the 1969 Ryder Cup that forever became known as “The Concession.” Tony shares incredible stories about competing against golf's greatest players, his thoughts on the state of the DP World Tour, his relationship with Nicklaus over the years, and the impact of fellow legends like Arnold Palmer and Seve Ballesteros on the game of golf. This episode is packed with golf history, PGA Tour insights, Ryder Cup memories, golf instruction, putting tips, mental game advice, and behind-the-scenes storytelling from two of the game's most respected voices. If you love hearing stories from golf legends, major championship history, Ryder Cup stories, PGA Tour commentary, and instruction that can help your game improve, this is an episode for you.

Back for a 2 in 1 episode of the Go Get That Podcast as we recap both the PGA Championship and preview this week's Tour stop in Texas.We look back on what was Jordan Spieth's best PGA finish since 2019, posting a T-18. We also look back at all the missed putts from Jordan, where, he still may be at Aronimink trying to get the ball in the cup. Another Major for Spieth where the putter didn't show up. Besides that, we chat the positives from the week for Jordan who as aforementioned had his best PGA finish in a while. Can it bleed into this week? Tune in as we give our thoughts.Besides Jordan, we discuss Aronimink as it made its return to the schedule and why the three of us enjoyed the test it provided. A congrats to Aaron Rai as well who conquered his maiden Major and proved to be the player that rose above them all. Jordan discusses why Rai was a fitting winner based on one player's comments before the tournament began.Later in the episode we chat TPC Craig Ranch and explain why we are excited for the Tour's return here after Lanny Wadkins redid the venue. We chat what exactly he did and why the course may be more penal and exciting to watch. Enjoy!

Gary Williams opens this episode of 5 Clubs by breaking down the value and intrigue surrounding Jordan Spieth as he continues searching for a return to contention on the PGA TOUR.

Gary also previews the new “Ask Rory” GolfPass series featuring back-to-back Masters champion Rory McIlroy and shares behind-the-scenes insight into Rory's unforgettable shot on the 15th hole at Augusta National.Ron Green Jr., senior writer for Global Golf Post, joins Gary in studio to discuss the overall success of the PGA Championship, the setup at Aronimink, and why the golf course itself became one of the stars of the week. Ron explains why Aaron Rai's closing stretch was one of the best major championship finishes in recent memory, evaluates the PGA of America's direction under new leadership, and shares his thoughts on the current state of LIV Golf, Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, and Jordan Spieth heading into the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.Sean Zak, senior writer for Golf Magazine, gives his perspective on Aaron Rai's breakthrough major victory and why it could impact future PGA TOUR field-size discussions.

CJ Cup Preview | Aaron Rai Wins PGA | Justin Thomas 5 Beer Leader Lunch | Jon Rahm Comeback Year? On the show we chat through the Aaron Rai win at the PGA Championship. Could this be the year of the Rai? Is he the new JJ Spaun? Did golf win this week with the PGA Championship. Rory McIlroy was very vocal going into the weekend on his thoughts about the course setup. Scottie Scheffler and Rory were in the mix but could not close it out. We were surprised at how well Jon Rahm did in the event along with Cam Smith. Bryson DeChambeau continues to struggle with majors in 2026. Is it time to hit the Bryson panic button. We chat through The CJ Cup at Byron Nelson event. Scottie is the clear favorite followed by Si Woo Kim and Jordan Spieth. This should be a good event following the major. Why didn't President Trump take Tiger Woods to China with him last week? They certainly missed a grow the game opportunity. Your Friends & Neighbors Season 2 continues to be a good hang show. Apparel for the show provided by turtleson.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning kick off Friday's show by previewing the Blue Jays "Rivalry Weekend" series in Detroit. The boys debate if the rivalry with the Tigers still resonates in Toronto, how realignment and divisional differences have affected it, and how the last 20 years of Blue Jays baseball might have looked in the AL Central instead of the AL East. They also break down Dylan Cease's strong start to his Blue Jays career, compare his long-term outlook and contract value to Tarik Skubal, and debate which pitcher they would rather build around. After the break, the hosts welcome Adam Stanley (29:55) to discuss the latest from the PGA Championship! They get into Garrick Higgo's unusual first-tee incident, course conditions at Aronimink Golf Club, and the performances of the Canadian golfers. They also examine whether Corey Conners can contend with improved putting, Jordan Spieth's chances of completing the career Grand Slam, and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Jon Rahm and LIV Golf players.

BRADY KANNON (Golf.com/CBS Sports/Sports Grid) It's PGA Championship week and we turn to our expert for the lowdown on the field and the course conditions at Aronimink. What conditions will the golfers be dealing with in Philly for this week's Major? How big of a deal is Rory McIlroy's blister really? Would that be the reason he doesn't win two majors in a row? Are the favorites the way to go this week? What about Cam Young, he's hot right now. Who does Brady like this week? What's going on with the LIV golfers as the league deals with some big issues? Are there any LIV golfers to keep an eye on? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - Q is for a Quantity of Quirks- it's not exactly clicking for Tatsuya Imai and last night was a great example of that. - R is for Retooled Randy- Randy Arozarena is our best hitter right now. Who gets credit for it? - S is for September Southpaw- everyone is wondering when Kade Anderson will be ready to join the big club? Could we see him in the last month of the season? :45- The NFL schedule is out tomorrow! There are some tangible things we can learn from knowing the schedule.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open the second hour by recapping the Buffalo Sabres tying their series with the Montreal Canadiens. They break down whether their comeback win signals a deeper playoff run, before discussing the Golden Knights taking a 3-2 series lead over the Ducks, Mitch Marner being held pointless in Game 5, and the ongoing speculation surrounding Auston Matthews' future and reported unhappiness. The conversation also touches on reports that the Golden Knights denied the Oilers permission to interview Bruce Cassidy, and the potential gamesmanship within the Pacific Division. Later, the guys are joined by former PGA player and Golf Channel contributor Brendon de Jonge (29:53) to discuss how Aronimink Golf Club is shaping up for the PGA Championship. They touch on Jordan Spieth's chances at a career Grand Slam, the Scottie Scheffler vs. Rory McIlroy debate, Rory's blister concerns, the future reintegration of LIV golfers, and some sleeper picks for the weekend.

The second golf major championship of the year will tee-off Thursday at Aronimink Golf Club near Philadelphia.  In 1962, the PGA Championship was played on this same golf course. Future Hall-of-Famer Gary Player won that year with a 2-under par total. Aronimink Golf Club was designed by the legendary Donald Ross and completed in 1928.  The superb layout has been stretched to well over 7,300 yards and will play as a par 70. Though Gary Player’s total of 2-under par total was a reasonable score in his day, don’t be surprised if this year’s winner is at least 15-under par.  Today’s vastly improved golf equipment and balls are turning classic layouts such as Aronimink Golf Club into glorified drive, pitch, and putt tournaments. The PGA Championship features a large field of 156 golfers.  That total includes 20 PGA club professionals who earned their way into this week’s tournament by finishing in the top 20 at a recent PGA club professional qualifying event. Much like The Masters, past winners of the PGA Championship are allowed to participate in this event for as many years as the golfer desires to compete. This weekend’s weather forecast looks delightful. Abundant sunshine with moderate temperatures in the 70’s will slowly increase into the middle 80’s by Sunday.  The benign weather conditions will likely create a Philly birdie festival. The PGA Championship has produced a number of champions who “came out of nowhere” to win their one and only professional major in this event. Of the four golf major events, the PGA Championship has produced a large number of surprise winners in recent decades. Let’s review some of those one-and-done major winners and, later, try to identify a few underdogs to win this year’s PGA Championship. Rich Beem – 2002 – Hazeltine (MN) 10-under par Then:  Rich Beem was fortunate just to have a PGA Tour playing card entering 2002.  He played well during the opening three rounds and trailed third round leader Justin Leonard by three shots entering Sunday’s final 18 holes.  Tiger Woods also charged up the final round leaderboard on Sunday to post a 67 and apply some serious pressure.  Rich Beem was able to hang on with a final round 68 to win by one shot over Woods. Now:  The 55-year old Rich Beem will not be playing in this week’s PGA Championship.  In recent years, Beem has been doing golf commentary for Sky Sports.  He has not appeared recently on either the PGA or Champions (Senior) golf tours. Shaun Micheel – 2003 – Oak Hill (NY) 3-under par Then:  You may remember that Shaun Micheel hit the 7-iron of his lifetime on the 72nd hole at Oak Hill in Rochester, NY in 2003 to win the 27-pound Wanamaker trophy.  That was Micheel’s lone PGA Tour victory during a lengthy professional career.  He would often finish in the top ten, though.  Shaun Micheel recently admitted that he struggled for many years by putting too much pressure on himself to perform well on the golf course.  Micheel lamented, “I played every shot like it was life or death.” Now:  The 57-year old Shaun Micheel plays in a few PGA Champions Tour events each season.  As a past PGA Championship winner, he will be in Philadelphia and plans to tee-it up on Thursday. Y. E. Yang – 2009 – Hazeltine (MN) 8-under par Then:  South Korean Y. E. Yang’s victory at the 2009 PGA Championship was memorable for two big reasons.  He became the first Asian-born golfer to win a major men’s golf championship.  Yang also gained worldwide notoriety by rallying in the final round to win by three shots over a highly-favored golfer named Tiger Woods. Now:  The 54-year old Y. E. Yang remains active in professional golf.  He just finished in 14th place at last weekend’s PGA Champions Tour event in The Woodlands, Texas.  He has posted seven top 25 finishes this season on the senior tour.  Yang, like Shaun Micheel, will be playing in this week’s PGA Championship field on Thursday.  Y.E. Yang will be trying to make his first cut at the PGA Championship since the year 2015. Jason Dufner – 2013 – Oak Hill (NY) 10-under par Then:  Former Auburn University college golfer Jason Dufner had already won twice on the men’s tour coming into the 2013 PGA Championship in Rochester, New York.  The laid-back Dufner grabbed a two shot lead over Jim Furyk entering the final nine holes in Sunday’s final round. That  duo battled back and forth over the closing holes.  Dufner held on to claim the only major championship of his career. Now:  The 49-year old Jason Dufner has won five times on the PGA Tour.  This year, he has played in only three PGA Tour events (missing the cut each time) prior to this week’s PGA Championship.  You may remember that Jason Dufner gained a different type of national notoriety during the spring of 2013.  At a Dallas-area PGA publicity event, Dufner appeared before a group of elementary school children.  While the teacher was busy talking (and talking), Dufner was photographed sitting on the floor alongside some of the kids.  He appeared in the picture to be slumped over in a rather relaxed, sleepy posture. The term “Dufnering” was born.  “Dufnering” became even more popular among golfers a few months later after the ultra laid-back Jason Dufner won the 2013 PGA Championship. Jimmy Walker – 2016 – Baltusrol (NJ) – 14-under par Then:  Jimmy Walker took the lead at the 2016 PGA Championship with a blistering five-under par 65 in Round 1.  He would play well in each day of the tournament.  Walker posted a wire-to-wire victory and held off a fast-closing Jason Day.  It was Jimmy Walker’s first and only major championship title. It was also his last win on the PGA Tour through this week. Now:  At age 47, Jimmy Walker is no longer playing regularly on the PGA Tour.  After his 2016 win at the PGA Championship, Walker went hunting with some friends.  Upon returning home, his health began to deteriorate.  Jimmy Walker told a reporter that he had contracted Lyme disease (generally transmitted by ticks).  His recovery was extremely difficult and very slow.  Walker’s return to professional golf was hampered by newfound difficulties with his chipping and putting games.  Nevertheless, Jimmy Walker is expected to be in the field on Thursday at Aronimink Golf Club. Could there be another underdog winner at this week’s 2026 PGA Championship? Absolutely!  Here are four golfers seeking their first major title and not receiving a lot of pre-tournament love from the media pundits this week.  I will also provide a fifth undervalued golfer looking to break into the winner’s column again this week with the 2026 PGA Championship title.   Sam Burns – The former Shreveport resident is one of the tour’s finest putters. If Sam Burns can keep the ball in play off the tee this week, he is quite capable of shooting some very low scores and winning his first major. Thomas Detry – This 33-year old Belgian golfer plays on the LIV Golf Tour. He just posted a solid sixth place finish last weekend.  That golf course in northern Virginia is very similar to this week’s layout at Aronimink. Anthony Kim – Another LIV golfer who is coming off a hot finish last weekend in Virginia. Kim shot a closing round of 10-under par 62 to post another top ten finish. Brandt Snedeker – The 45-year old just won in Myrtle Beach last weekend for his first PGA win in nearly eight years. When you’re hot, you’re hot, right? Jordan Spieth – OK, I admit it.  I would LOVE to see Jordan Spieth find a way to win this weekend.  He hasn’t won a PGA Tour event since 2022. More importantly, Spieth would finally complete golf’s career Grand Slam (The Masters, US Open, The (British) Open, and, finally, the PGA Championship) with a victory on Sunday afternoon. Enjoy this weekend’s PGA Championship! The post PGA Championship Preview – Watch out for Underdogs! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

In this week's episode of The Golf Podcast we preview the PGA Championship at Aronimink after getting boots on the ground to play and film the course ourselves. With one of the strongest major fields in recent memory, we break down why this could become an absolute shootout, especially with weather potentially softening the course early before firmer weekend conditions arrive.  We dive into our top PGA Championship picks, including Matt Fitzpatrick's incredible current form, Scottie Scheffler's complete tee-to-green dominance, Rory McIlroy's course-record history at Aronimink, Ludvig Åberg's major-ready ball striking, and Cameron Young's breakout season. We also discuss why Bryson DeChambeau may be too volatile to trust this week despite his major championship pedigree, plus why names like Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose, Jordan Spieth, and Justin Thomas could be dangerous if their games click. From Donald Ross green complexes and thick rough to driving accuracy, putting pressure, sleeper picks, betting odds, and major championship storylines, this PGA Championship preview covers everything golf fans should watch heading into one of the biggest weeks of the year.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

Dan and Jordan are back to recap what was a pretty disastrous week at Quail Hollow (again). Not the first time that has happened and Jordan talks why he is worried that this season may be shot.Dan, on the other hand, provides a bit of optimism for why the Spieth faithful should keep hope that what is plaguing Jordan is fixable. The boys also chat on why Quail Hollow is over-hated and why it should get a bit more respect from golf fanatics. Enjoy!

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open Tuesday's show by celebrating Kevin Gausman becoming the ninth active pitcher to reach 2,000 career strikeouts. The boys debate whether his résumé puts him on a Hall of Fame track, or rather the “Hall of Very Good.” They then break down the Rays' 8-5 win over the Blue Jays with thoughts on Tampa Bay's continued success against Toronto, Gausman's rough outing, the Jays' lack of walks, Eric Lauer being DFA'd, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s slow start. After the break, they discuss the Leafs' new front office choosing not to retain Shane Doan, Mats Sundin's comments about no-move clauses and what they could mean for Morgan Rielly's future. This hour wraps up with the latest golf report focusing on Jordan Spieth's pursuit of a career Grand Slam.

SGS goes to the bullpen as PJ and Kevin Van Valkenburg slide into the big chairs for a late Sunday recording. The two aren't entirely sure how they got here, but they applaud Andy for taking the night off to celebrate the Bulls securing a top-four pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. Things stay on the rails to start, as PJ and Kevin quickly get into another "juice-less" week at Quail Hollow for the Truist Championship. Kristoffer Reitan broke through for his first PGA Tour win after getting into this Signature Event on the Aon Swing 5 list, defeating a smattering of European Ryder Cup hopefuls like Alex Fitzpatrick and Nicolai Hojgaard. Reitan successfully navigated the "Green Mile" to round out his Sunday and got to show off an unlikely sponsor during his winner's interview on CBS. Kevin is quick to jump on a runner-up finish for Rickie Fowler and suggests that a Rickie win at the PGA could be the best possible outcome for the sport of golf. PJ is concerned about a "Space Jam" situation unfolding after Justin Thomas bragged about stealing Cameron Young's putter and a tough Sunday on the greens cost Cam a back-to-back win. There's also plenty of Jordan Spieth discussion after he resurrected the "go get that" moment early in an uncompetitive week. In other news, Team USA's captain has won on the PGA Tour yet again! Brandt Snedeker took home the title at the OneFlight Myrtle Beach Classic, his first win since 2018, but was quick to note that he has absolutely no plans to play in the Presidents Cup this fall. He is excited to play in his first major since 2021 this week, and PJ suggests keeping a close eye on who Snedeker tees it up with in practice rounds at Aronimink. Lucas Herbert went wire-to-wire at LIV Virginia, holding off a charging Anthony Kim on Sunday and securing his spot in the 2026 U.S. Open. In a very important installment of Champions Tour Minute, PJ recaps Boo Weekley's win at the Insperity Invitational and shares a special shoutout that Boo received from a famous friend on social media. Overseas, Yurav Premlall might've been the most unlikely DP World Tour winner of all time at this week's Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship, and Chris Wood returned to the winner's circle to round out this week of 2016 throwbacks. In news that we couldn't make up if we tried, professional wrestling company AEW held a show in the SoFi Dome on Saturday featuring wrestlers tackling each other into the very same bunkers that Kevin Kisner hit shanks in for Marty Smith's entertainment!

For the second consecutive year, Rory McIlroy has slipped on the green jacket. In this 2 for 1 episode, we delve into what happened last week at Augusta National and what to watch for this week in Hilton Head Island.Bob goes deep into what he believes Augusta National got wrong when it comes to course setup. Jordan talks why a T-12 finish for Jordan Spieth at Augusta doesn't do a whole lot for him, and Dan adds what he wishes the greens staff at Augusta could (and maybe should have done) to make it a more entertaining weekend at the Masters.In the second half, we talk RBC Heritage and why Harbour Town Golf Links may not play into Jordan Spieth's hands. Is he among our picks this week? Stay tuned to the end to find out. Enjoy!

Congratulations are in order to Sunday’s back-to-back Masters’ winner Rory McIlroy. His 12-under par total was good enough for a one-shot win over Scottie Scheffler.  He won a second Masters’ green jacket for his closet. It was McIlroy’s sixth career Grand Slam win.  That moved Rory into a tie for 12th place all-time with golf legends like Lee Trevino, Phil Mickelson, and Nick Faldo. Rory McIlroy also became the fourth member of an elite golf club who have won The Masters in back-to-back years.  Jack Nicklaus (1965 and 1966), Nick Faldo (1989 and 1990), and Tiger Woods (2001 and 2002) make for pretty good company, indeed. Ironically, Rory McIlroy finished at the same score relative to par (12-under) that he posted through Friday as Round 2 concluded.  He led by a record six shots at the halfway point of this golf tournament. Marketing executives at CBS Sports and Golf Channel were sweating bullets on Friday night The media bosses feared that Saturday’s third round might lead to an insurmountable (and very boring) final round on Sunday if McIlroy was up by six or more strokes after Round 3.  The Masters usually delivers golf’s biggest television audience of the year. Fortunately for a very nervous media, Rory’s good fortune on Thursday and Friday turned into a “hold on for dear life” weekend of golf survival playing in the trees. Northern Ireland’s top golfer watched his six-shot lead completely evaporate as Round 3 drew to a close Saturday.  He went into Sunday’s final round tied with the unshakably steady Cameron Young at -11.  More than a dozen other top golfers had moved within five shots of the lead. But no one in the 2026 Masters field mounted a back nine charge on Sunday! Former Shreveport and LSU golfer Sam Burns briefly joined McIlroy and Cameron Young at the top of the leaderboard at -11 Sunday after carding a birdie on his opening hole.  Unfortunately, a double bogey 7 on the par-5 second hole quickly dropped Burns from the top of the leaderboard.  He never recovered but still finished the tournament at 9-under par and in a tie for seventh place. LIV Golf’s Tyrell Hatton started Sunday seven shots behind the leaders.  Even with two bogies during his final round, Hatton posted four straight birdies at one point in his round.  He finished with a nifty 66 on Sunday to post a 10-under par total and tied for third place. Georgia native Russell Henley posted a brilliant 3-under score on the front nine and found himself just one shot off the lead at -10 at the turn.  Unfortunately, Henley (like so many others chasing the lead) failed to capitalize on the two par-5’s on Augusta National’s back nine holes.  He finished at ten under par and tied for third. Cameron Young (a recent winner of The Players Championship) took the lead alone at -12 at the second hole after posting a birdie. Unfortunately, that would be one of just two birdies made by Cameron Young during his final round.  He stayed close all day Sunday but consecutive bogies at holes #6 and 7 dropped him out of the lead.  Young missed numerous opportunities on the back nine. He would par every hole from #10 through 18 to finish -10 and, yes, tied for third place. Perpetual contender Justin Rose finished second last year to Rory McIlroy after a playoff. On Sunday, Rose mounted a mid-round charge to take briefly claim the lead at -12 after converting three straight birdies.  The patrons at Augusta National were solidly behind 45-year old Justin Rose as he was trying to claim his first green Masters jacket. Unfortunately, Rose posted consecutive bogies at #11 and 12 to drop out of the lead for good.  He failed to birdie either of the two remaining par-5 holes and finished in a four-way tie for third place at ten under par. Two-time Masters winner Scottie Scheffler started the final weekend on Saturday trailing by a whopping ten shots at 2-under par.  He shot a near-perfect bogey-free 67 on Saturday. Scheffler began the final round at -7 and only four shots behind the leaders. Scottie Scheffler started slowly on Sunday.  After posting a birdie on the par-4 third hole, he then parred 11 straight holes and seemed unlikely to mount a late charge.  Scheffler finally converted birdies on both #15 and 16 to juice the massive crowds and pull within one shot of the lead at -11.  Unfortunately, he was unable to birdie either of the final two holes to tie the leader. Scheffler’s closing round of 69 climaxed the first bogey-free final 36 holes of golf played at The Masters since 1942!  He finished alone in second place – just one shot behind Rory McIlroy. Rory kept his head above water just long enough to grab a second consecutive green jacket McIlroy posted a torrid 12-under par score on Thursday and Friday to take a six shot lead into the weekend.  His second round on Friday featured six birdies over the closing seven holes. He literally couldn’t miss for nearly two hours.  McIlroy punched out of the trees after wayward tee shots and still birdied the par-5 holes.  He even birdied hole #17 after producing a timely 30-yard pitch shot all the way across a lightning-fast green and into the cup. Those two stellar rounds of 67 and 65 gave McIlroy the largest 36-hole lead in Masters history. Only an epic collapse by Rory would save the day for CBS’s television coverage over the weekend. And that’s exactly what (almost) happened Saturday saw a talented pack of competitors rally up the leaderboard as Rory’s early magic faltered.  After struggling to a one-over par 73, McIlroy’s entire lead vanished during the third round of play. In the opening holes on Sunday, Rory McIlroy still looked shaky at times. He double-bogeyed the par-3 4th hole by taking three putts from five feet away from the cup.  McIlroy added another bogey at the par-3 6th hole to drop to 9-under par and briefly fell two shots behind playing partner Cameron Young. That’s when Rory McIlroy finally steadied his nerves and golf game as a number of competitors failed to apply much pressure over Augusta National’s slightly easier final nine holes. McIlroy (known for his go-for-broke playing style) took a big risk by taking aim at the flagstick on the treacherous par-3 12th hole. Rae’s Creek has claimed many final round victims (ask Jordan Spieth) if your golf ball should come up short or fade toward the adjacent water hazard guarding the green.  Rory McIlroy’s tee shot at #12 finished less than seven feet away the cup. It was the closest shot to the hole on Sunday.  He rolled-in that birdie putt to reach -12 and never lost the lead again. Rory McIlroy’s final round one-under par 71 wasn’t a classic round of golf. However, it was good enough for him to capture a second straight green jacket at The Masters. Other Masters takeaways By virtue of his top-15 finish, England’s Justin Rose will return to play The Masters again next year at age 46. Rose has finished second at The Masters three times and was tied for third place on Sunday.  Fans (oops, I mean patrons) would love to see Rose finally break through and win his first green jacket in 2027.  It might produce an 18th hole celebration similar to that heard in 1986 when 46-year old Jack Nicklaus claimed his sixth and final Masters title. Expect LIV Golf’s Bryson DeChambeau to be spending a lot of “beach time” this week. The long-hitting fan favorite missed the cut in this year’s Masters after a couple of sand traps doomed his chances of competing this weekend.  DeChambeau took three shots to exit the sand on #11 during Thursday’s opening round in carding a triple bogey. During Friday’s second round, Bryson needed an up and down from a greenside bunker at #18 in order to make the 36-hole cut and play this weekend. His first shot from the bunker came up a foot short but rolled back down into the trap.  Those sand shot issues led to a couple of triple bogies, a 6-over par finish, and an early trip home.  Expect Bryson DeChambeau to be spending a lot of time in the sand this week!   One final odd thought.   The Masters tournament proudly continues to offer $1.50 sandwiches to hungry patrons made from either Pimento cheese or egg salad. A rather creative Masters merchandiser began selling golf hats featuring the names of those two classic bargain-priced sandwiches.  No, the hats do not go for $1.50!   One particularly creative fellow wore his Masters “Egg Salad” hat and sat in the same spot at the back of the 16th tee box for the television cameras to see him – every single day of the tournament. I wouldn’t want to be standing all day behind the “Egg Salad” guy at the 16th hole, would you?

Back at home after a week in Chicago, Brendan is joined by "The Boys" for this beefy Monday show. This episode was recorded late on Sunday night after BP was issued a technical foul during a youth basketball game and needed time to "decompress" before using a microphone. Joseph immediately wants to learn why Brendan was T'd up and finds that his actions were completely justified after a complete rules breakdown. While the technical foul may be a big story for this podcast, the biggest story in sports this weekend belongs to LIV Golf following Anthony Kim's win in Adelaide. AK erased a five-shot Sunday deficit playing in a group with major champions Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, defeating Rahm by three shots for his first win in 16 years. Brendan, Joseph, and PJ recap the final round, covering Kim's outstanding iron play, the return of the swagger that made him captivating to begin with, and the many inspiring quotes from after the tournament wrapped up. They also question some of the broadcast's hyperbolic statements about the magnitude of the moment. There is also plenty of discussion about brutal Sundays from Rahm and Bryson, adding yet another week without a win for both of them on the LIV Golf tour. Not to be completely outdone, the PGA Tour had an "A+ week" at Pebble Beach according to Brendan. Collin Morikawa came from behind to secure his first win since the 2023 Zozo, making a four on the 18th hole for the win. Joseph and Brendan break down performances from Morikawa, Akshay Bhatia, and even Scottie Scheffler, who found himself in the mix again after a slow start on Thursday. Joseph also calls out Sam Burns for his club choice on the final hole, something that only a Deputy would do. In news, Gary Player remains upset with Augusta National (and Brendan may have an idea of why), sponsor exemptions go to - who else? - Jordan Spieth and Tony Finau, and Brendan and PJ go in on the Providence Friars following a dirty Saturday game against the Johnnies.
