A Cheater!, some Pampered F**ks, and a pillow fight in Maui

Published: Jan. 6, 2020, 6:30 a.m.

The new decade is off to a rousing start on the PGA Tour and Brendan and Andy recap the fantastic late night playoff in Maui to get your Monday morning started. They discuss the sometimes underwhelming and nervy play from a star trio of characters vying for the first title of 2020. Who gagged the worst or did no one choke out of Xander, JT, and Pat Reed? The conditions on Maui are praised as are the different shotmaking skills required at this \u201crefined\u201d Kapalua course that produced some truly ugly plays down the stretch. The loud heckle of \u201cCheater!\u201d during Pat Reed\u2019s putt is discussed as well as the broadcast\u2019s handling of the moment and Reed\u2019s recent shoveling ignominy throughout the weekend. This will seem to be a recurring issue on Tour and the framing from the coverage will be under the microscope. Patrick Cantlay\u2019s mai tai open mic night on Friday is also reviewed but fears of a chilling on the sounds from the course are conveyed. They wrap with some disgust over the benevolent drop given to DJ thanks to the 18th hole grandstands and some concern over Jordan Spieth withdrawing from the Sony.
