Early Masters excitement, Spaun the Texas king, ANWA Heartbreak and disaster

Andy and Brendan! have made it to Augusta and are ready to hit the ground running for the first major of 2026. After a long travel day, there's still plenty of excitement for this year's Masters as each shares what they're looking forward to the most this week. Brendan suggests that a certain Guy may be the only player with enough juice to really energize the crowd late on Sunday, while Andy is just waiting to hear Joseph LaMagna's first impressions of Augusta National. Before all of that, they recap the Valero Texas Open, where J.J. Spaun officially became the King of Texas with his second win at the event. Spaun's comeback win in rough weather marks his first since last year's U.S. Open, with Brendan suggesting he may be "The Rain King." Andy runs down the list of "Worst Major Winners This Decade (or Century)" and applauds Spaun for further removing himself from this list. He then launches into a crusade against Bob MacIntyre's caddie for using an iPhone to find the wind direction on the 72nd hole with a chance to make a playoff or even win the tournament. Asterisk Talley had a historic collapse at Augusta National on Saturday during the final round of the ANWA, clearing the way for Maria Jose Marin to win perhaps the biggest event in women's golf. More results follow, with Andy and Brendan discussing a runaway with for Lauren Coughlin at Shadow Creek and an opera singer's big week on the Korn Ferry Tour. After wrapping up with yet another Masters Fact of the Day, the two announce that they will be LIVE on the Fried Egg Golf YouTube channel for the 2026 Masters preview episode at 3:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, April 7th.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
