Description

What a finish this weekend in the Chevron Championship! The new venue at The Club in Carlton Woods got off to a great start in its run as Chevron host with a star-studded leaderboard and a thrilling playoff victory for first-time major champion Lilia Vu. Damon & Eamon discuss her ascendant talent and the long odds she faced to reach the pinnacle of the sport. Vu's big win got her a big shoutout from former Chevron champion and golf legend Lorena Ochoa! The 27-time LPGA Tour winner stopped by to send a congratulatory message to Vu, discuss the rising popularity of golf in Mexico, and share a bit of insight as to when we may see her tee 'em up again... A pair of first-time winners on the PGA TOUR took home the hardware this weekend in Nick Hardy and Davis Riley, who shot -30 as a team to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans! Our crew reacts to how huge this win, and the status that comes with it, will be for the pair as they try to make names for themselves on the PGA TOUR. Hardy and Riley would be the first to tell you that professional golf isn't all glitz and glamor, and longtime golf writer Michael Bamberger has a new book out which tells that side of the story. "The Ball in The Air" tells the story of golfers both fighting for the professional limelight, and those grinding it out for the love of the game. Bamberger and the guys discuss the book, the state of golf media, and why this game captures the imagination.
