b'This holiday Monday episode of the Shotgun Start begins with a jubilant Andy shouting about the Packers loss and Lee Westwood\\u2019s win. We dissect Westy\\u2019s new approach to life and practice, his ball-retrieving putter celebration, his \\u201cdry January\\u201d likely coming to an end, and his potential lukewarm desires to make a Ryder Cup team. This leads to a semi-serious discussion on all the different approaches to the game and life before a discussion on one approach that does not appear to be working: hitting bombs. We proffer some data that might indicate Phil\\u2019s chase to hit nothing but bombs has tanked his chances to win more often, contrasting that with Westy\\u2019s contentment. At the LPGA\\u2019s Tournament of Champions, we express dismay at the playoff continuing to go to the same hole and the two competitors parring us into darkness. John Smoltz\\u2019s self-standing putter is also reviewed. We relay some nuggets on the awesome backstory of the Latin America Am winner and how this 17 year old husky boy from Argentina is exactly what these Am events should be promoting at Masters. Hosung\\u2019s dangerous club throw has Andy doubting his commitment to the four-fingered fisherman but Ernie\\u2019s arrival on the senior circuit prompts a different, more startling admission. Finally, we wrap with Woody Austin\\u2019s bag sponsor and ponder how much that costs.'
