Todd Lewis, the Golf Channel, calls in to wrap up the Memorial won by Will McGirt. Todd talks about Will playing at Wofford College and being on the tour for a long time and was eventually able to win. Todd said that Will had not played well at Jack's place before. He beat a stout field and some great golfers chasing him down.
Todd spoke with Rory McIlroy Monday night. Rory said he was in his jet on the tarmac in Ohio ready to leave after he was in the clubhouse with a 13-under par, was ready to leave but waited about 90 minutes before he flew off ... he left when someone posted a better score.
Holly and Todd talk about Rickie Fowler who has not played well for the past several events and is trying to make the Olympic team as well as heading into the heart of the PGA season. Todd and Holly talk about Dustin Johnson as well as Matt Kuchar and Phil Mickelson's play of late.
Todd mentions that the Golf Channel is covering the first two rounds of the U.S. Open, They will be on the grounds broadcasting Monday. On Wednesday The Golf Channel is showing an in-depth interview with Rory McIlroy on the 5 year anniversary of his win at the U.S. Open
Vartan Kupelian, long time writer for Detroit News and writer for the Champions Tour, calls in from the Senior Players Championship to talk about the Champions Tour' next major Championship which is in Philadelphia.  Vartan shares that the Champions Tour plays all of these great historic courses that some of the other tours do not play on and he is so grateful that he gets to cover the events.
Holly asks Vartan about the Champions Tour players like Colin Montgomerie, Bernhard Langer, and others who are so successful. Vartan comments that these guys all work their tails off and always have. He also said that some of them are so much better than 20 years ago when they played on the PGA Tour now that they have the growth and have less pressures than before when they were trying to have a career and support their families. Holly asks Vartan about Rocco Mediate's recent win. Vartan says it's always a pleasure to interview someone like Rocco. When you are done and look over your notes you can write about 9 different stories. 
Steve Eubanks, Global Golf Post calls in from the Seattle Washington area, the site of the second LPGA major of the season to talk with Holly and Will. Steve said that this is one of the most narrowest golf courses that he has ever seen. It's littered with pine trees. It's beautiful but tighter than a bowling alley and going to be a shot makers paradise this week. Anna Nordqvist won the latest event on the LPGA defending her ShopRite LPG Championship title.  Holly asks Steve about who are the favorites to win this week. Players like Lydia Ko and Ariya Jutanugarn. Steve says that Ariya is playing on another level right now and likens what she can do on the golf course to how Tiger used to be making shots that others couldn't even dream of making.
Holly and Steve talk about Inbee Park looking to win her fourth consecutive Women's PGA Championship title, a feat no one has accomplished. Steve said that unfortunately Inbee's thumb injury will probably prevent her from doing that. The trio also talk about Inbee being eligible for the Hall of Fame at the ripe age of 27 after she completes one round this week. She will have met the requirements.
