CHAOS IN PHOENIX - February 9th, 2026


Listen Later

A breakdown of the chaotic Sunday deadlock at the WM Phoenix Open, Scottie’s charge, and the lifetime ban handed out for paid heckling.


THE MONGOLIAN REVERSAL
  • We unpack the madness at TPC Scottsdale, from Michael Thorbjornsen’s collapse on sixteen to Hideki Matsuyama’s near-disaster on eighteen. Despite skulling a bunker shot into the lip, Hideki finds himself deadlocked at 16-under with Chris Gotterup, who fired a final-round sixty-four.
  • History Made: The final group featured the first-ever pairing of two Japanese stars, Matsuyama and Ryo Hisatsune.
  • Fun Fact: The viral moment of the weekend wasn't a shot, but Bennett Scheffler perfectly mimicking his dad Scottie's signature head swivel.


NO MORE NONSENSE
  • The PGA TOUR drops the hammer on YouTuber Jack Doherty, issuing a lifetime ban for paying a fan to heckle Mackenzie Hughes. We discuss the line between content creation and harassment, and why the players are celebrating the decision.
  • Quote: Mackenzie Hughes on the incident: "I didn't lose much sleep over it."
  • Reaction: Michael Kim weighed in on social media, simply calling the prankster "soft."
