With Edwards unavailable Craig goes alone for the very first time so apologies if it's a poor quality episode. It was an interesting week with Matthieu Pavon becoming the 1st Frenchman in 117 years to win on PGA Tour with a fantastic victory at Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines winning with a ballsy 3rd shot to the Par 5 18th to defeat Nicolai Højgaard! At Ras Al Khaimah it was a super Thorbjorn Olesen performance to win by 6 shots at -27 to Rasmus Hojgaard at Al Hamra GC. That was Olesen's 8th victory on DP World Tour & 3rd since 2022 a class player that can blow people away when the putter is firing! For me the event of the year so far was LPGA Drive On Champs in Bradenton, Florida on the LPGA Tour an event that saw the re-emergence of Nelly Korda who won for a 9th time on LPGA Tour in absolutely dramatic fashion defeating Lydia Ko in a playoff while Ko was looking for LPGA Immortality! Nelly would have a 4 shot lead going into Sunday would only be 1 ahead of Megan Khang after the front 9 then a poor drive at 14 would lead to a bogey at 14, double bogey at 15 followed directly by bogeys from all 3 of Khang, Ko and Ayaka Furue would put all 3 women joint lead at -9 before Ko thinned her 2nd shot to the Par 5 17th to 3ft for a tap in eagle while Korda would further bogey to give Lydia a 3 shot lead going into her 72nd hole. The drama doesn't end there Nelly at 17 from the back of the green would make a clutch eagle to go back to within 1 of Ko with Ko parring the 18th to finish -11 Korda would need to birdie 18 to get in a playoff which she produced a worldie shot into the 72nd to within a foot to bring it to a playoff where she would win on the 2nd Playoff hole in dramatic fashion in her hometown of Bradenton! This week we have AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on the PGA Tour which Justin Rose won last year. This year at Pebble it is an 80 man field with no cut & a PGA Signature Event attracting the very best this week with only Pebble Beach & Spyglass Hill in play instead of the 3 course rotation of normal & the Am's are only playing Thursday & Friday leading to a good finish hopefully! It's another inaugural event on DP World Tour with Bahrain Champs taking place this week at the Colin Montgomerie designed Royal Golf Club that has hosted a few MENA Tour events from 2018-20 as well as a Champions event in the European Tour back in 2011 which was won by Paul Casey at -20. With wind forecast in Bahrain it should be a good event with hopefully the winner picked in it! Felt it was hard to go solo so appreciate it if you try to listen in!

In another player interview today I Craig am joined by this year's winner of the Irish Challenge on the Challenge Tour Brandon Robinson Thompson who calls in from the site of this week's ISPS Handa World Invitational event from Galgorm Castle where Brandon would win The Country Garage BMW Northern Irish Open at Galgorm Castle defeating Mitch Waite to secure an invite into the ISPS Handa World Invitational. It's been a monumental rise in the summer this year for Robinson Thompson having finished 2nd in Open Qualifying at Royal Porthcawl to qualify for the 151st Open Championship at Royal Liverpool where he would make the weekend and finish T59th a memory that still leaves good memories for Brandon the week before winning the Irish Challenge with his fiancée on the bag! While actively searching for invites this year Brandon would start this year on the MENA Tour where in his 2nd start there he would win Egyptian Swing No.2 at Madinaty Golf Club followed by successful trips T8/T5 in Malaysia Swing at Els Club then a T7th in Thailand! Then would earn 8 starts on the Clutch Tour winning 3 times in 8 events winning at Tandridge, County Garage BMW NI Open at Galgorm & at Machynys in Wales. In this short episode we speak about his last 2 events at Newmachar for Scottish Challenge (T3rd, 64 on Sunday) and the challenges of British Challenge at St Mellion (T30th, 78 on Sunday) as well as how he is feeling ahead of this week event in Northern Ireland where Brandon is in bullish mood quietly fancying his chances. Let's show some support for BRT & I wish him all the best for the rest of the season! Enjoy!
In this episode, we delve into the world of golf with David Spencer, Commissioner of the MENA Tour. David shares his journey from working with Australia's richest man, Kerry Packer, to fostering the growth of golf in the Middle East.

The Las Vegas heat was too much for Patty Ice, as a rare triple bogey propelled Tom Kim to his second PGA Tour victory over Patrick Cantlay at the Shriners Children's Open. Hosts Alex Lauzon and Michael Russell marvel at Kim's rise to fame, and how podcast favorite Taylor Montgomery fared in his hometown (1:39). The LPGA Tour welcomed their 10th first-time champion in Englishwoman Jodi Ewart Shadoff, making this year one shy of the record of first-time champs (6:44). Everyone got to learn about the quiet little MENA Tour this week as it entered a "strategic partnership" with LIV Golf, a play done to give those highly-paid players some OWGR points. In Bangkok, however, few fans seemed to show up to watch the 54 hole event (8:20). This past weekend Alex participated in, and was a "celebrity judge" for the East Side Mini Open, where bars and pubs in Austin, TX made some unique mini-golf holes and offered up some unique grub (11:47). The PGA Tour heads to Japan for the always exciting ZoZo Championship, which includes almost the entire Presidents Cup International Team in the field (14:30). In Tuned In, Michael is excitedly watching the third and final season of the British comedy "Derry Girls" on Netflix, while Alex headed to the movies to catch the new rom-com "Bros" (16:35). This week's guest is Kristin Truelove, better known on Instagram as @kristinlearnsgolf. Kristin chats with Alex about learning to play golf as she started dating a professional, what it is about golf that she loves so much, and what's going through her head during her swing (19:19). Alex's college football picks were not up to snuff this week, as they also included two unique ties (36:53). On the NFL side, Michael's Giants continue to find ways to win, while Alex's Patriots may now find themselves in a quarterback controversy. Meanwhile, Alex is getting all the betting angles for who Tom Brady and soon to be former wife Gisele Bundchen may be dating next (38:03). The MLB postseason rolls on, and Alex's first round picks resulted in not a single correct advancement. Michael is now worried for his Yankees as Alex things they may get themselves a sweep in the ALDS round (43:25). As the guys #AlwaysEndWithFood, Alex is getting in on the spaghetti pancake trend, while Michael was venturing the Savannah's 71st Greek Food Festival (45:29).

The franchise spent a lot of money entering the season to bolster the rotation and lineup and didn’t get much for it. Shortstop Javier Báez, signed to a $140 million contract, hit .238 with 17 homers, 67 RBIs and 147 strikeouts. Left-hander Eduardo Rodríguez also struggled. The Tigers did play .500 baseball over the final two months and that included wininng nine of 10 games at one point. NFL – National Football League – Week 5 Last Night Indianapolis Colts 12, Denver Broncos 9 – OT Colts 12, Broncos 9 – OT – Colts grind out 12-9 win over Broncos in injury-filled game Stephon Gilmore batted away Russell Wilson’s pass to Courtland Sutton in the end zone on fourth-and-1 from the 5 to give the Indianapolis Colts a 12-9 overtime victory over the Denver Broncos on Thursday night. Gilmore also intercepted Wilson’s pass in the fourth quarter to help set up Chase McLauglin’s tying field goal. McLauglin connected from 47 yards 4:10 into overtime to give the Colts (2-2-1) the lead in the first game in NFL history that pitted quarterbacks with at least four Pro Bowl appearances each, but it featured zero touchdowns. The Broncos (2-3) decided against a tying chip-shot field goal by Brandon McManus, and Wilson lined up in the shotgun next to running back Melvin Gordon, then threw incomplete over the middle. Sunday Detroit Lions at New England Patriots, 1:00 p.m. Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings, 1:00 p.m. NFL – Lions, Patriots looking to bounce back from 1-3 starts Scoring points hasn’t been an issue for the Detroit Lions this season, but it hasn’t translated into many victories. The New England Patriots are reeling for a different reason and could use a victory just as bad as the teams prepare to match up this week. Through four weeks, the Lions are averaging an NFL-high 35 points and a league-high 437 yards per game. But even 45 points was wasn’t enough to beat Seattle at Ford Field last week to drop Detroit to 1-3. New England is also 1-3 and is looking at the prospect of having its third starting quarterback in three weeks with Mac Jones nursing a tender ankle and Brian Hoyer going on injured reserve with a concussion . If they’re out, rookie Bailey Zappe will make his first career start. NFL – Justin Fields, mired Bears offense looking for positives Although Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields and receiver Darnell Mooney connected on a big pass play last week for the first time, they’re not expecting an immediate breakthrough in the team’s offense. Heading into a game against the Minnesota Vikings, the Bears remain focused on the process of building their overall attack and not simply evaluating Fields, offensive coordinator Luke Getsy says. Still, with an offense last in passing and next-to-last in yardage, and only two touchdowns in their last 32 possessions, the Bears (2-2) have work to do to be competitive on a weekly basis.

A 24-game winning streak over Indiana ended when the Wolverines last traveled to Bloomington. Coach Tom Allen’s teams had given Harbaugh all sorts of headaches even before the game two years ago. Now, though, with No. 4 Michigan pursuing a second straight Big Ten title and what it hopes will be a second consecutive playoff berth, the Wolverines want to turn up the pressure when they visit the Hoosiers on Saturday. NCAAFB – No. 3 Ohio State heavy favorite at Michigan State No. 3 Ohio State faces its first road test of the season Saturday at struggling Michigan State. The heavily favored Buckeyes are on a roll, averaging 55.7 points per game in their last four contests. They have won six straight games against Michigan State and 15 of the last 18 matchups between the two schools. The Spartans have lost three consecutive games, including 27-13 last week at Maryland. It’s Mel Tucker’s longest losing streak during his three-year tenure as Michigan State’s head coach.

Poole practiced Thursday while Green didn’t. Myers said any potential discipline would be handled internally. Myers said he doesn’t anticipate Green missing any games for Wednesday’s altercation. The Athletic first reported the scuffle, saying Green struck Poole. Myers said “space is good” regarding Green not practicing and going home after he addressed the team. Green was previously suspended for one game in 2018 after a confrontation with teammate Kevin Durant. WNBA – Brittney Griner at ‘weakest moment’ in Russia, her wife says WNBA star Brittney Griner is at her “absolute weakest moment in life right now” as she faces a hearing in Russia later this month for her appeal of a nine-year prison sentence for drug possession. That’s according to her wife, Cherelle Griner, who told “CBS Mornings” in an interview aired Thursday that Brittney Griner is afraid of being forgotten by the U.S. Brittney Griner was convicted Aug. 4 after Russian police found vape canisters with cannabis oil in her luggage at a Moscow airport. Her defense lawyers said Griner had been prescribed cannabis for pain. Cherelle Griner said she fears her wife could be moved to a Russia labor camp. Golf – LIV – World ranking rejects last-minute LIV Golf bid for points The Official World Golf Ranking won’t be awarding points to LIV Golf events this year. The ranking board has denied a request to immediately add Saudi-funded LIV Golf to the MENA Tour schedule. The OWGR says the MENA Tour did not give it sufficient notice and there would not be time to finish the review ahead of the LIV Golf Invitational in Bangkok that starts Friday or the event in Saudi Arabia next week.

MLB – Major League Baseball Playoffs – Wild Card Round – Best of three Today Wild Card Playoffs – Best of Three Tampa Bay (McClanahan 12-8) at Cleveland (Bieber 13-8), 12:07 p.m. Philadelphia (Wheeler 12-7) at St. Louis (Quintana 6-7), 2:07 p.m. Seattle (Castillo 8-6) at Toronto (Manoah 16-7), 4:07 p.m. San Diego (Darvish 16-8) at New York (Scherzer 11-5), 8:07 p.m. MLB – Detroit Tigers wrap disappointing season with new executive The Detroit Tigers head into the offseason after finishing 66-96 this year, the third-worst record in the American League. The franchise spent a lot of money entering the season to bolster the rotation and lineup and didn’t get much for it. Shortstop Javier Báez, signed to a $140 million contract, hit .238 with 17 homers, 67 RBIs and 147 strikeouts. Left-hander Eduardo Rodríguez also struggled. The Tigers did play .500 baseball over the final two months and that included wininng nine of 10 games at one point. NFL – National Football League – Week 5 Last Night Indianapolis Colts 12, Denver Broncos 9 – OT Colts 12, Broncos 9 – OT – Colts grind out 12-9 win over Broncos in injury-filled game Stephon Gilmore batted away Russell Wilson’s pass to Courtland Sutton in the end zone on fourth-and-1 from the 5 to give the Indianapolis Colts a 12-9 overtime victory over the Denver Broncos on Thursday night. Gilmore also intercepted Wilson’s pass in the fourth quarter to help set up Chase McLauglin’s tying field goal. McLauglin connected from 47 yards 4:10 into overtime to give the Colts (2-2-1) the lead in the first game in NFL history that pitted quarterbacks with at least four Pro Bowl appearances each, but it featured zero touchdowns. The Broncos (2-3) decided against a tying chip-shot field goal by Brandon McManus, and Wilson lined up in the shotgun next to running back Melvin Gordon, then threw incomplete over the middle. Sunday Detroit Lions at New England Patriots, 1:00 p.m. Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings, 1:00 p.m. NFL – Lions, Patriots looking to bounce back from 1-3 starts Scoring points hasn’t been an issue for the Detroit Lions this season, but it hasn’t translated into many victories. The New England Patriots are reeling for a different reason and could use a victory just as bad as the teams prepare to match up this week. Through four weeks, the Lions are averaging an NFL-high 35 points and a league-high 437 yards per game. But even 45 points was wasn’t enough to beat Seattle at Ford Field last week to drop Detroit to 1-3. New England is also 1-3 and is looking at the prospect of having its third starting quarterback in three weeks with Mac Jones nursing a tender ankle and Brian Hoyer going on injured reserve with a concussion . If they’re out, rookie Bailey Zappe will make his first career start. NFL – Justin Fields, mired Bears offense looking for positives Although Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields and receiver Darnell Mooney connected on a big pass play last week for the first time, they’re not expecting an immediate breakthrough in the team’s offense. Heading into a game against the Minnesota Vikings, the Bears remain focused on the process of building their overall attack and not simply evaluating Fields, offensive coordinator Luke Getsy says. Still, with an offense last in passing and next-to-last in yardage, and only two touchdowns in their last 32 possessions, the Bears (2-2) have work to do to be competitive on a weekly basis. NHL – National Hockey League – Preseason Last Night Minnesota Wild 4, Chicago Blackhawks 1 Tonight Toronto Maple Leafs at Detroit Red Wings, 7:30 p.m. NCAAFB – College Football – Week 6 Tonight – Big Ten Nebraska at Rutgers, 7:00 p.m. Saturday (4) Michigan at Indiana, 12:00 p.m. Eastern Michigan at Western Michigan, 12:00 p.m. Ball State at Central Michigan, 3:30 p.m. (3) Ohio Sta te at Michigan State, 4:00 p.m. (16) BYU vs. Notre Dame, 7:30 p.m. at Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas NCAAFB – Wolverines look to start another win streak over Indiana Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh knows the score. A 24-game winning streak over Indiana ended when the Wolverines last traveled to Bloomington. Coach Tom Allen’s teams had given Harbaugh all sorts of headaches even before the game two years ago. Now, though, with No. 4 Michigan pursuing a second straight Big Ten title and what it hopes will be a second consecutive playoff berth, the Wolverines want to turn up the pressure when they visit the Hoosiers on Saturday. NCAAFB – No. 3 Ohio State heavy favorite at Michigan State No. 3 Ohio State faces its first road test of the season Saturday at struggling Michigan State. The heavily favored Buckeyes are on a roll, averaging 55.7 points per game in their last four contests. They have won six straight games against Michigan State and 15 of the last 18 matchups between the two schools. The Spartans have lost three consecutive games, including 27-13 last week at Maryland. It’s Mel Tucker’s longest losing streak during his three-year tenure as Michigan State’s head coach. NBA – National Basketball Association – Preseason Tonight Indiana Pacers at New York Knicks, 7:30 p.m. Detroit Pistons at New Orleans Pelicans, 8:00 p.m. Denver Nuggets at Chicago Bulls, 8:00 p.m. NBA – Warriors’ Draymond Green apologizes for fight with teammate Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers says star forward Draymond Green apologized to the team a day after fighting with teammate Jordan Poole during practice. Poole practiced Thursday while Green didn’t. Myers said any potential discipline would be handled internally. Myers said he doesn’t anticipate Green missing any games for Wednesday’s altercation. The Athletic first reported the scuffle, saying Green struck Poole. Myers said “space is good” regarding Green not practicing and going home after he addressed the team. Green was previously suspended for one game in 2018 after a confrontation with teammate Kevin Durant. WNBA – Brittney Griner at ‘weakest moment’ in Russia, her wife says WNBA star Brittney Griner is at her “absolute weakest moment in life right now” as she faces a hearing in Russia later this month for her appeal of a nine-year prison sentence for drug possession. That’s according to her wife, Cherelle Griner, who told “CBS Mornings” in an interview aired Thursday that Brittney Griner is afraid of being forgotten by the U.S. Brittney Griner was convicted Aug. 4 after Russian police found vape canisters with cannabis oil in her luggage at a Moscow airport. Her defense lawyers said Griner had been prescribed cannabis for pain. Cherelle Griner said she fears her wife could be moved to a Russia labor camp. Golf – LIV – World ranking rejects last-minute LIV Golf bid for points The Official World Golf Ranking won’t be awarding points to LIV Golf events this year. The ranking board has denied a request to immediately add Saudi-funded LIV Golf to the MENA Tour schedule. The OWGR says the MENA Tour did not give it sufficient notice and there would not be time to finish the review ahead of the LIV Golf Invitational in Bangkok that starts Friday or the event in Saudi Arabia next week. There are only two LIV Golf events left so some players will be out of the top 50 and find a tough road back to the majors.

It's an odd week, so this Thursday episode is a bit of a mash-up, hitting both the schedule for the week while also getting out on an #FBF segment focused on past hollering about the Official World Golf Rankings, which finds itself again in the crosshairs of some hollering. Andy and Brendan begin with the schedule, which provokes an absolutely preposterous Jordan Spieth take. Unsubstantiated rumor Friday is an amusing one that focuses on some potential Dallas-area drama. Then it's on to the LIV stunt forming a “strategic alliance” with the MENA Tour and spiking the football that they would be immediately getting OWGR points this week because of it. Precision Pro FBF looks back at a past OWGR controversy, when the majors started giving out exemptions based off the rankings and everyone seemed to hate the system for one reason or another, including Zinger, whose Op-Ed on it is read aloud to cap off the week.
Everton has received takeover interest from a blank-check company, Manchester United is believed to have offered the Public Investment Fund a stake, Connor McDavid tops Forbes' highest-paid NHL players list, and LIV Golf believes its players will be able to earn world rankings points through the MENA Tour.

Out of Bounds is back for another episode and we have more LIV Golf news to dive into. LIV has joined the Middle East North Africa Tour. This grants them the ability to gain OWGR points in the future. LIV was hoping they would be able to hand out OWGR points in their event this week in Bangkok but they are not able too.
