The Shotgun Start

NBC takes on Tosti in Houston, Dr. Lag-puttinksi, Rory ‘Elbow Watch’


Listen Later

It was an SGS-heavy finish at the Texas Children's Houston Open, where Dr. Chipinski, Min Woo Lee, was grouped with podcast favorites Alejandro Tosti and Ryan Fox in the final round. The Doctor was IN on Sunday, with Min Woo barely holding off a charging Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland for his first career PGA Tour win. Andy kicks this episode off with a Victory Monday celebration for PJ, whose hammer came down on the correct player this week in Houston. Brendan and Andy then unpack Tosti's Sunday, a round filled with various run-ins with rules officials and his fellow players. They debate whether the NBC broadcast was too mean to him after repeatedly criticizing his pace-of-play throughout the final stretch. Min Woo gets planety of shine, but his choice to lag putt on both 17 and 18 on Sunday leaves the group wondering if he'll have to give up being Dr. Chipinski moving forward. In Houston Open wrap-up, Brendan and Andy discuss Sami Valimaki tying the course record, Gary Woodland's return to the top of a leaderboard, and Rory McIlroy's new elbow injury he revealed after his top-10 finish. Former Fireball Eugenio Chacarra took down the Hero Indian Open at DLF, securing him a DP World Tour card through 2027 after his departure from LIV at the end of last season. Brendan adds some color from on-the-ground reports at DLF, had only three players finish under par in a weak field for the DP World Tour. On the Champions Tour, Steve Allan won a pro event for the first time in 23 years after getting into the Galleri Classic as an alternate earlier this week. PJ shares some updates from Bob Papa in Champs Tour Minute and alludes to some potential upcoming content with a local Champs Tour legend. In news, Brendan drops that some people inside the moat at PGA Tour HQ are concerned about LIV Miami's broadcast on "Big FOX" this week out-rating the Valero Texas Open. Per request, this episode ends with a short discussion on the new bats in Major League Baseball and how golf can learn from what MLB decides on their legality.
