Ryan Fox, a wonderful result swooping back in to with the BMW PGA Championship. Very impressive performance. Nick and Mark discuss the Wentworth course, how beautiful it is, but how it has had some challenges over the years with the redesigns. Nick was also impressed with Aaron Rai's performance, Mark has some concerns about his gear and his clothing - Nick agrees. Following Min Woo Lee giving Ryan Fox a huge hug after his win, Mark wants you to suggest some of the great hugs in golf history to compile a Top 5. Let us know on the socials or send a voicemail here. Another great result from the weekend was from Scott Hend on the Europeans Legends Tour, a great performance, and Mark recommends following Hendy on social media - very entertaining. Nick was impressed with the performance of PING player Sahith Theegala in the Napa Valley, both Nick and Mark loved the scenes when he won with his family present, wonderful footage and a victory a long time coming. Mark had a look at what was in Theegala's bag, one of the things that he loves to do - he calls himself a golf dork.Nick talks about the performance of the European players and has a theory on why they are stronger than the Americans leading into the Ryder Cup.After the turn, Mark has a crack at Nick over a disgraceful oversight.We love getting voicemails from you, keep them coming.
