More like Stinky Note classic, TPC problems, and PGL is back

Andy and Brendan begin this week praising Michael Thompson and the story of his first win in seven years on the PGA Tour. It\u2019s an amazing testament to persistence and talent and it was clearly a moving triumph for someone who has grinded on the PGA Tour for years. These stories enrich the Tour. And that\u2019s about it for the happy stuff in this episode. What follows is a panning of a weak field doing little to go out and take a win on Sunday, Tony Finau failing to break the PR Open Curse, Rich Werenski\u2019s jewelry, TPC Abomination, Chris Stroud\u2019s WD for \u201cnot feeling well,\u201d and some CBS slip-ups. It was a weekend that put the counter product of a potential PGL in an attractive light. After the heated 3M chat, Renato Paratore\u2019s win in the first leg of the Coffee Pot is reviewed, as are Westy\u2019s comments that he won\u2019t play the PGA because of how the U.S. is handling the pandemic. The KFT purgatory is again discussed with Will Zalatoris and Davis Riley showing well again, and a talent like Max McGreevy winning and continuing to climb the rankings with no real place to go for another year. News closes the episode with a focus on Tiger declaring he\u2019s out for WGC Swampass and the PGL sending out offer letters to players.
