Show notes

Matt Brown, Wes Reynolds, and Kelley Bydlon break down the Baycurrent Classic in Yokohama, Japan, formerly known as the Zozo Championship. The guys dive into the unique Yokohama Country Club layout, weather concerns, course history, key statistics, and the challenges of modeling a tournament with such a limited sample size.
