## Resource

Colt Knost has seen golf from every angle — number one ranked amateur, PGA Tour pro, and now CBS analyst alongside Jim Nantz. He joins Brian, Cooper, and Kenny to talk about the decision to turn pro instead of playing the Masters, and whether he regrets it. Plus: his side of the Kevin Kisner CBS controversy and the one part of it that bothered him most, what it was like gambling in practice rounds with Phil Mickelson, and the Charles Barkley $1,000 a hole money game.
