## Resource

This week, actor Michael Peña joins the show to relive the highs and lows of his game, from a hole‑in‑one with no witnesses to finally acing one on national TV. The guys break down the good, the bad and the ugly of a day on the course versus a day on set, then wrap things up with a simulator closest‑to‑the‑pin challenge on the iconic 17th at TPC Sawgrass. Chad and Wells also tackle a viral “this or that” debate, going to bat for their dream major‑tournament broadcast combo and why it wins.
