Asinine responses to distance report and a David Duval flashback

Published: Feb. 7, 2020, 6:30 a.m.

This Friday episode begins with some quick reactions to early scoring from across the world of golf. This prompts further angst about the fact that there is no Shotlink at the other venues this week as well as a listener submitted take comparing David Duval and Jordan Spieth. On the LPGA and Euro Tours, we get into the joy of a mixed event and call for more on all tours. Then there is a segment on some of the responses to the distance report, ranging from DJ\u2019s lovable indifference, Paul Casey\u2019s real estate quackery, Phil taking the \u201cit\u2019s the athletes not equipment\u201d line, and an unnamed PGA Tour spokesman falling back on the line that the game is more exciting than ever. We react to some of these and give them their proper weight. In news, Bryson\u2019s inclusion on a Top 50 fittest athletes list is covered as well as Phil\u2019s adamant stance that he will not accept a U.S. Open special exemption. We wrap with Flashback Friday that gets into the 2010 Pebble Pro-Am, one of the rare instances when David Duval posted a top 10 after 2001.
