Hosts Holly G and Rich Bianco are in the studio this week and start off the show talking about Matt Kuchar's win at the Memorial Tournament.  Rich and Holly also talk about the U.S. Open qualifiers and "The Longest Day in Golf"  The best players in the U.S. played to gain a spot in the U.S. Open. Lee Janzen was DQd for wearing metal spikes.

Bob Harig, ESPN.com, calls in to talk to Holly and Rich about the Memorial Tournament. Some of the struggles that the players had even surprised Jack Nicklaus. Kevin Chappell was the only player to get through a round without a bogey and he did that on the final day. Tiger had been playing so well before the Memorial and then turned in the worst score of his career. This year he has won four tournaments and placed T4 at the Masters. Bob feels that if Tiger improves his putting that he will play well at the U.S. Open. He had one bad week.

Everyone talks about the shortness of the course at Marion but Bob feels that there are holes that have difficulty and he doesn't feel that Marion will be a pushover. Rich and Bob talk about the limited number of spectators that can come watch the U.S. Open live due to the small size of the property at Marion. The players will warm up at the West Course at Marion and then be shuttled about a mile to the East Course to play.

Holly plays her interview with Annika Sörenstam at the Reunion Golf Course. The interview was conducted shortly after Annika was elected as a member of the PGA a couple of weeks ago and the announcement was made that the HQ for the North Florida PGA was being moved to Reunion.
