Sig Event overkill at Trump Doral, the Cameron Young era, and grumpy Scottie
5/3/20261 hr 6 min
For one final time, Andy joins Brendan from The Shed(!) for this Sunday recording as they look back on the formative years of this podcast. It's often said that the more things change, the more they stay the same, so it's nice that Cameron Young's dominant 2026 season remains in progress despite Andy leaving The Shed behind. Mr. 1,000 blitzed the field at the inaugural Cadillac Championship, defeating World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler by six in the end. This event was practically over on Friday afternoon and Cameron secured his third PGA Tour victory despite calling a penalty on himself for his ball moving at address on a day with Preferred Lies. Brendan found the whole week at Trump Doral sleepy and wonders if there's anything the PGA Tour can do to make events between majors truly stand out. The two discuss which PGA Tour events matter on their own and nearly all occur before the Masters. Andy gives major props to Cameron Young for his continued evolution into a top three player in the world and there's a debate whether the foursome of Young, Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Matt Fitzpatrick have separated themselves from the rest of the world. In other Doral news, Adam Scott looks likely to qualify for his 100th straight major, Justin Rose's McLaren irons didn't make it out of the garage, and Alex Fitzpatrick secured a top ten finish without his brother! Brendan and Andy then run through results from the rest of the world, including a back-to-back runaway win for Nelly Korda, a famous Michael winning on the DP World Tour, and a SECOND major championship win this year for now-Ryder Cup Vice Captain Stewart Cink. Lastly, Brendan wraps up this show with some... enthusiasm for a Game 7 performance from James Harden!

Andy Johnson· Host0:57
Uh, you know, for, for a- And even those watching, it's hard to tell ... couple years of this podcast, I, I called it little, little garden shed in, in the back of my, uh, yard home, uh, most days. Then eventually the, uh, the sheer heat in, uh, that, that could come into the shed just drove me out.
Brendan Porath· Host1:15
Oh, boy.
Andy Johnson· Host1:15
It was, like, uninhabitable after 2:00 PM in the summer. So that's what led to- There were bees ... the shed going away.

Andy Johnson· Host1:27
