Bonus episode with the US PGA in New York this weekend.

Nick O’Hern is put on the spot by Mark Allen to name the 5 Australians who have won the US PGA. Mark has a theory on Jason Day which augurs well for his performance this weekend, Mark reckons he’s a real shot.

The boys discuss the impact of the weather on the tournament, with the move from August to May. Mark loves the change, and feels that the date coming earlier has made the US PGA a far stronger tournament.

Nick and Mark discuss whether the PGA should travel around the world, they are in vigorous agreement, and reckon it should happen. They have an idea on how it could happen, and talk through it. But will it happen in their lifetime?

In the hypothetical event that the PGA came to Australia, Nick and Mark discuss what Australian course would be best, given the time of year it would be held. Mark believes Perth is where it should be. Nick thinks the sandbelt in Melbourne.

But back to the 2023 PGA, Nick and Mark discuss the calibre of the field.

Mark asks Nick about the course at Rochester and how it will play, what the players need to be doing to compete.

Both Nick and Mark list their players to watch, who they think will win, and who their roughy is. And of course they look at the Aussies.

It's a big bonus episode as we get ready for some late nights watching the PGA !
