Episode Notes
Happy Monday, folks! We hope you enjoyed this weekend's golf more than Baz did. Having seen his two picks for the WM Phoenix Open head out in the final group on Sunday, both to come up empty-handed, he's a little disappointed. Add to that Daniel Hillier's slow weekend after a lightning-fast start, and it was a case of the nearlies for Baz's debut. We've got our reaction to Matsuyama's chaotic final round, Gotterup's stunning start to the season, and ask whether the in-form American (alongside Patrick Reed) can keep his form going into Major season. We've also got plenty of equipment news to get stuck into from the weekend ,as Hovland finally switched into a new driver, Koepka finally saw sense and switched into a mallet putter (then proceeded to putt even worse), and Morikawa swapped flat sticks for the 1056th time this year. Baz also has his key pick ahead of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am coming up this week. Enjoy!
