Sunday's final round with Stenson pitted against Phil Mickelson was one for the ages. Stenson carded an 8-under 63 to tie Johnnie Miller's lowest final round score by a major champion. His 20-under 264 was the lowest 72-hole score ever in a major championship. Phil shot a final round 65 and finished with a 267. Mike Kern, Philadelphia Daily News, calls in to talk with Holly G and Kevin about the Open Championship. Mike said that it was the second time in four years that someone shot 20-under-par in a major. Mike mentions that Phil started the championship just missing out on a record 62 after his ball lipped out on the 18th hole and then shoots a bogey-free round Sunday but still loses by two strokes. Holly talks about the slump Stenson was in for a couple of years and how he has come back. Mike mentions that Tiger went through two different slumps during his career and was able to come back and play at a high level. Jordan Spieth is in a little bit of a slump and so is McIlroy. Mike said that's what makes Tiger's feat of a 10-year stretch playing at such an unbelievable level so phenomenal.  Long time sports writer and bestselling author Steve Eubanks, currently with Global Golf Post, calls in from the UL International Crown in Chicago to share his thoughts about the Open Championship.  Steve talks with Holly about LPGA Tour and Lydia Ko's fourth win of the season at the Marathon Classic in Ohio. Kevin, Steve and Holly talk about the team competitions on the LPGA Tour. The teams in the UL Crown is based on the World Rankings of the four team members. Lydia Ko and Brooke Henderson are the #1 and #2 players in the world will not be competing in the competition with not many other players for their country ranked high enough to qualify a team for the country. Holly talks with Steve about the quick turnaround in the PGA Tour schedule and playing the PGA Championship a month early because of the Olympics.  In the final segment of the show, Holly welcomes Steve Trattner, one of the partners at Knuth Golf, to the show to talk about the company's award-winning High Heat Driver, 3-wood and hybrid have taken the golf industry by storm, with their lower and deeper center of gravity, perfectly situated for the amateur golf swing.
