Andy and Brendan are joined by Shane Bacon, who is in Rochester calling the PGA, for this Saturday night 54-hole check-in on the PGA Championship. The first several minutes are a lot of Michael Block talk -- the incredible story, and the exposure, and the golf media lapping up every drop. There’s amusement at how he wiped Scottie Scheffler off the coverage. The rest of the episode is a lot of Contender/Pretender around the leaderboard, from Block to Rory to Brooks up on top. There’s some amusing Bryson and Crushers chatter, and a few more thoughts on the kind of golf this setup has produced, punished, and rewarded and why it may not be some people’s cup of tea.
