Andy and Brendan are excited for Labor Day weekend and bring the energy for this Whiparound Friday episode ahead of the holiday. They begin with Mike Sposa's win at the U.S. Senior Amateur Championship at Baltimore Country Club. Andy is inspired by this story of resilience in the amateur game and wonders how Sposa had the time to get so good at golf while he was busy making 90 cuts on the PGA Tour! The two break down yet another example of the farce that is "reinstated amateurism" and wonder how the USGA let this guy bank in the ranks after such a long pro career. Brendan continues the heartwarming start to the show with a Sergio Garcia tale from the Omega European Masters that you won't want to miss. From there, they discuss this weekend's Walker Cup at Lahinch Golf Club. Team USA has to face not only the best Great Britain & Ireland team in recent memory, but they're also battling a stomach bug that has taken over the teamroom. From there, Andy shares some research into the Christiaan Bezuidenhout Presidents Cup pick and decides that C-Bez should play all five sessions for the Internationals. Kevin Van Valkenburg returns with yet another B. Draddy P-Cup Flashback about the 2015 matches and some Phil Mickelson hijinks in South Korea. Andy and Brendan wrap with news regarding Good Good and the RBC Heritage before sending this episode on its way into a holiday weekend.
