Holly G and Rich Bianco are in the studio talking about the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Central Floridian and University of Florida grad Matt Every picked up his first PGA Tour victory winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational. 
Holly and Rich talk about the tournament and play clips from Matt Every's post-win press conference. Every talks about hitting the tree on the 16th hole. 
Matt was 9 back after Friday but was able to comeback and overtake Adam Scott on the final day. He also talks about the upcoming Masters. Every is #7 in the FedEx Cup standings after his win.
Bob Harig, ESPN.com, calls in to talk to about the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He noted that with Every's win it opens up a lot of doors for him this year in golf. Bob feels and wrote that unfortunately it was the story of Adam Scott losing the event after being ahead by 7 shots headed into Sunday. Adam Scott said that you don't get that many chances to win and when they are there you have to win.
Jimmy Walker has won three times and Patrick Reed twice this season but Bob feels that is the exception and not the rule. Holly and Bob talk about how hard it is to win on the Tour week in and week out and noted that many of the Tour players have echoed that.
Scott took more than 30 putts both Saturday and Sunday. Even though the long putter has been said to have helped Scott, Bob pointed out that he still has bad days and it is not the cure. 
Buddy Alexander, UF Golf Coach, talks with Holly and Rich about Matt Every's win. Buddy also comments on Every's comments about "You have to get used to losing on the Tour, it's nice to win." Buddy says that the nature of the game is losing. You have to take "wins" from Top 10s, Top 20s, and not just actually winning the event.
Holly and Buddy talk about Every pressuring Buddy to play in the Par 3 event at the Masters this year. Buddy, who won the 1986 U.S. Open Amateur Championship, says playing for fun and playing competitively are two different things and if you haven't competed that way in a while, it's even more pressure. Alexander has been coaching the Gators for 27 years and a total of 36 years coaching collegiate golf.
Jeff Babineau, Golfweek Editor, calls in to wrap up the show. Jeff talks about the passing of Ron Balicki, a long time senior writer for Golfweek who covered collegiate golf for many, many years. Jeff talks about Ron and wrote a nice editorial as a tribute to Ron.
