Andy and Brendan record one final time from Augusta National, debriefing their day following the final groups at the Masters. They discuss Jon Rahm’s brilliance on Sunday, from starting four back of Brooks Koepka for the resumption of play in the morning to cruising to a four-shot win over Brooks and … Phil Mickelson? They hit on the Koepka-Rahm dynamic in the final group, and how Rahm really took it to him hitting first off most tees. Koepka’s final round could have also been impacted by the pace of play, which was inexcusably slow and unfair to the final twosome. They assess who else might be walking away frustrated, happy, or meh from the first page of the leaderboard. Some final thoughts on Augusta National and how it played are relayed, before a few more amusing patron anecdotes to close out the week.
