4/3/20262 hr 22 min

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of perhaps the greatest Masters ever, Andy, Brendan!, and Kevin Van Valkenburg present a special Flashback Friday episode covering Sunday at the 1986 Masters. After some opening chatter about Illinois basketball and Rory Sabbatini's 50th birthday, the three spend over two hours discussing the final round that led to a sixth green jacket for Jack Nicklaus. They share highlights from the broadcast and compare it to the CBS shows of today, reminisce about the key players at the top of the leaderboard coming down the stretch, and discuss the equipment used by those playing 40 years ago. Enjoy this beefy Flashback/Spotlight, and we'll see you in Augusta on Sunday night.
