Episode 129: Mexico Open Mayhem and the Week in YouTube Golf


Listen Later

Typically overlooked due to its lack of star power, the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld provided an amazing final round on Sunday filled with drama. Journeyman Brian Campbell bested rookie Aldrich Potgieter in a playoff for his first win on the PGA Tour.

In a true David vs. Goliath matchup, the PGA Tour's longest hitter, Potgieter, was bested by possibly its shortest hitter Campbell to win the event. Campball is only averaging about 277 yards off the tee this season while Potgieter is number one in driving distance on tour, averaging over 320 yards off the tee.

Potgieter struggled with his short game all day, and while Campbell also had his struggles, he did enough to get into a playoff. On the 2nd playoff hole, Campbell hit a tee shot into the woods and what looked to be a certain loss, but the golf gods had other plans and spit his ball back out into play and he would up making birdie to win the playoff and punch his ticket to Augusta National and the Masters, as well as a two year exemption on the PGA Tour.

This week in YouTube golf saw the Bryan Bros. break 59 at PGA National with unlimited mulligans and the Good Good Golf guys played a worst ball round.
