Episode 18: JT Wins, Zurich Classic Preview, & Xander Builds an App
In this episode, we break down Justin Thomas’ emotional playoff win, speculate on the Ryder Cup roster, and react to huge golf architecture updates — including a King-Collins-Dormer project at Royal Dornoch and Pinehurst’s new Coore & Crenshaw course.
We also preview the Zurich Classic, share our NCAA Championship picks, and discuss the new Osprey Nest feature at Spey Bay. Plus: why did Xander Schauffele launch an app? And what other PGA Tour players also shouldn’t do the same?
