The 2025 Australian Open has started at Royal Melbourne. Shackelford and Donegan discuss Rory McIlroy's participation in the event and his remarks about the quality of the course itself -is it really all it's cracked up to be? The hosts also discuss PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp's impressive appearance at CNBC's business forum, Justin Thomas's comments on the USA Ryder Cup loss at Bethpage, and the surge in the numbers of great young European pros (in contrast to what's happening in the US).
