Dueling finishes on LIV and PGA Tour Playoffs and a punishing U.S. Am

The Shotgun Start

Andy and Brendan recap an absolutely loaded weekend of golf with tournaments coming down to the wire across all levels of the game. Andy leads off this Monday episode by waxing poetic about Caleb Williams and his performance in Week 2 of the preseason, becoming far too excited about the Bears on August 19th. After an extended Caleb Minute, the golf recap begins with the FedEx St. Jude in Memphis as Hideki Matsuyama stayed afloat on the back nine to hold off a charging "Mr. August" Viktor Hovland and others. The two discuss notable cuts from the FedEx Cup Top 50, such as Jordan Spieth and Tom Kim. This then leads to a chat about Presidents Cup rosters and who may be making the trip to Montreal at the end of September. Andy and Brendan then talk through Brooks Koepka taking down Jon Rahm in a playoff at LIV Greenbrier, a promising result for both players who have struggled on major stages this year. The conversation then hits on Lauren Coughlin's victory at the Women's Scottish Open and her form heading into the Solheim Cup and next week's Women's Open at St. Andrews. After a recap of the weekend at the U.S. Amateur, Producer PJ shares what he learned about Bob Papa's whereabouts in this week's Senior Tour Minute.
