PGA Championship Saturday: Contenders & Pretenders at a Birdiefest
Andy and Brendan begin this Saturday episode thrilled about the final round possibilities for the PGA Championship, but with some laments on how we got there. They discuss the “simulation” golf that Valhalla has produced through 54 holes, including a Saturday scoring fest that was among the lowest in its history. They wonder if Ted Scott is the key to all of Scottie Scheffler’s success. The Bushnell “Who’s Dialed” segment features some severe yips and several nominees, including Bryson DeChambeau. That takes them to a lengthy game of Contender/Pretender on a bunched leaderboard — are Rory and Spieth too far back? They quickly eliminate a whole flock of people as pretenders to narrow things down.
