4/20/20261 hr 14 min
You might think that the week after The Masters would be quiet by comparison, but the wonderful world of golf just keeps on giving. Andrew, Iain and Eddie convene to talk about Matt Fitzpatrick taking down Scottie Scheffler at Hilton Head, and wonder where the Sheffield man stands in the pantheon of English golfers. There is also a good deal of LIV discussion with the future of the tour uncertain, questioning of driving distance stats, a look ahed to the women's major season and most importantly, we discover which golfer is considered the craziest on tour.

Um, but no, it's still second reserve, so I withdrew a couple of hours ago, and I shall spend the week in the UK, which actually looking at the weather forecast and with things planned, which I know we will touch on- Mm.
