Taylor breaks down who took home the French Open title and gives us a crash course on the LPGA including what it actually is, why it's called that, and why we should all be paying more attention. She also gets into Cherie DeVaux making history again at the Belmont Stakes, because apparently horse racing drama is officially on our radar.
