Peppy Peter and the Mule March, Masters prep, Yasir meeting insights, and Nelly’s No. 1


It’s Monday morning but there has never been a better time to put some Pep in your Step to start the week. Brendan is joined by Golf Digest’s Joel Beall to discuss, with great delight, the win of Peter Malnati at the Valspar Championship. They debate what it means for the “cutthroat” debate over players like Malnati in the rank and file and mule class trying to fight for their spots on the Tour and get a piece of the pie. Then they get to the runner-up Cam Young, who continues his bridesmaid role on the PGA Tour. Is this a thing now? Then they jump to Nelly Korda’s victory in California that propelled her back to No. 1 in the world and the lament that it was not pushed to a later slot after the Valspar. Joel shares some more insight on the meeting with Yasir in the Bahamas last week, as well as where the policy board sits these days on a desire to get a deal done with the PIF. They close with some more early Masters players and items to watch as the first men’s major draws nigh.
