"Speed Wars" in Detroit, P-Reed for Ryder Cup, & Maltbie-Gate at U.S. Senior Open

from The Shotgun Start · host Fried Egg Golf

Andy and Brendan! celebrate a Victory Monday thanks to Aldrich Potgieter outlasting Max Greyserman in a five-hole playoff at the Rocket Classic in Detroit. Despite the hourlong playoff full of missed putts, Andy's vibes are especially high following the first PGA Tour win for "South African Big Dumper." There's plenty of distance discourse after a weekend of contention from "Speed Wars" stars like Potgieter, Jake Knapp, Michael Thorbjornsen, and more, leading Andy and Brendan to ponder whether the Rocket Classic is even "golf" at the highest level. Outside of the Burly Boy's big win, Playoff P showed up at LIV Dallas, unlocking a new level of Patrick Reed Ryder Cup conversations. Reed's first LIV win adds to an already strong major season and Andy thinks he's earned a spot on Team USA ahead of another fan favorite. PJ chimes in to recap "Maltbie-Gate" at the U.S. Senior Open after the beloved NBC announcer got into it with eventual winner Padraig Harrington on Friday night following the second round. The trio dive into the details on this confrontation and shout out a few other stories coming out of the Senior Tour Super Bowl in Colorado. A highly-anticipated Sports Minute covers a rare Cavs-Bulls trade before Brendan recaps Peppy Peter's speech to the field in Detroit to put a bow on this Monday episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
