Justin Thomas is your WGC-FedEx St. Jude champion! Kyle Porter told us on Saturday night to watch out for a JT 65 on Sunday en route to victory. What lead to his magnificent victory at TPC Southwind (6:18)? Brooks Koepka’s title defense ended with a runner-up finish. That’s pretty darn good considering his recent run of poor performances. How scary is Brooks heading into this stretch of majors and big-time golf events (14:11)? Mark and Kyle have been bickering in the group chat about Phil Mickelson of all people. We dive into it on the podcast (18:55). Rickie Fowler and Brendon Todd fell hard off the lead on Sunday. What do we make of these players who failed to win on Sunday (25:50)? We wrap with a quick peak at the PGA Championship and lay out some early predictions for next week’s action at TPC Harding Park (44:36).
