The Scottie rules, JT’s speed shopping, and Norman acknowledges LIV departure

from The Shotgun Start · host Fried Egg Golf

It's been a while since the last one, but Andy and Brendan break down yet another Scottie Scheffler victory in this Monday episode. Andy begins by claiming a Victory Monday, as his household's rug saga has reached a conclusion on the fourth purchase and Swag Sports Minute recaps where Illinois and Boston College football will be bowling later this month. From there, the two get into the golf, starting with the Hero World Challenge. Scottie Scheffler, now using the claw grip with his putter, won for the ninth time in 2024 with a dominant weekend showing. Andy and Brendan discuss the psychology of competing against Scheffler and how many players believe they can beat him with their "B" games on a Sunday. They also discuss a new-look Justin Thomas, whose speed training was on full display in Albany, often outdriving the rest of the 20-man field. The conversation then shifts to the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa, where Aldrich Potgieter had a chance to win in his home country before making a triple bogey on the par three 12th. Andy and Brendan debate whether they've seen a player in contention have a worse singular hole. Joaquin Niemann won again in Saudi Arabia, taking down fellow LIV golfers Cameron Smith and Caleb Surratt in a playoff at the Saudi International. In news, Greg Norman visited Indianapolis and acknowledged that his time as LIV's CEO is coming to an end sometime soon. This episode closes with a lively conversation about the College Football Playoff, with Andy and Brendan both wondering how the No. 1 seed, Oregon, has the toughest route to a championship. Before Brendan can sign off, PJ jumps in to share the breaking news of Juan Soto becoming NYGC's biggest fan, as he's signed a 15-year deal with the New York Mets.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
