Summary
Andy and Brendan are live in Augusta to recap a full day on the ground at the first round of the Masters. It’s early, but the course is in exquisite condition and primed for a stupendous final 54 holes. They ponder if the course conditions, which are firm with no real moisture on the horizon, could prompt some player complaints or a become a situation worth #monitoring over the next three days. Then they get to the leaders at the top of the board, like the defending champ Rory McIlroy and how the very plausible title defense somehow flew under the radar. They discuss Sam Burns’s impressive first round, Scottie hanging tough in late conditions, and how the P in Pat Reed stands for “PROBLEM.” Grumpy Bob MacIntyre is also dispensed with following a tough first day, and the two LIV pillars of Bryson and Rahm are put in the crosshairs. They hand out some awards, like the Good Guy Gerry award, Best and Worst shots, and more from day 1. They close by emptying the notebook with some amusing odds and ends and then go over Storylines that No One is Talking About. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
