We’re gearing up for a doubleheader at Muirfield Village, the Course that Jack Built, how will the track play different this week vs next week (14:36)?

Bryson DeChambeau’s winning formula at the Rocket Mortgage Classic (7/5) Jul 06, 2020

Rocket Mortgage Round 3: Wolff separates from the pack (7/4) Jul 04, 2020

Show notes

Matthew Wolff has separated himself from the pack! The Oklahoma State standout now holds a 3-shot lead at the Rocket Mortgage Classic through 54-holes (4:00). Stalking him is (revival?) Bryson DeChambeau at 16-under. Can the mad scientist overcome this deficit and win on Sunday (15:48)? We also chat about Webb Simpson and what went wrong for his round today, any hope for the Webster on Sunday (23:30)? Finally we wrap with our update picks to win the Rocket Mortgage Classic (27:14)!

Rocket Mortgage Round 2: Webb’s tournament to lose? (7/3) Jul 03, 2020

Show notes

It’s Webb’s world, we’re just living in it! Webb Simpson carded the low round of the day on Friday to vault him into the co-lead with Chris Kirk. Can Webb win his second-straight Tour start (2:33)? Another player going for a second consecutive win is Chris Kirk who was victorious in his last outing on the Korn Ferry Tour. What are the odds Kirk notches another win this week (7:08)? Of course it wouldn’t be an episode of The First Cut if we didn’t chat Bryson DeChambeau, can his iron game come around over the weekend and propel him to victory (12:50)? We also chat about Matthew Wolff and his tremendous 2nd round and whether or not he can buck a recent trend of poor finishes (20:35). Finally we wrap with a dive into updated picks to win and advice for third round matchups and showdown games (21:44).

Rocket Mortgage Round 1: Bryson launches up the leaderboard (7/2) Jul 03, 2020

Show notes

We’re breaking down all the first round action from the first round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Even though he’s one shot off the lead, we’d be remised if we didn’t talk about big ole beefy Bryson (0:40). Kevin Kisner sits on a share of the 18-hole lead along with Doc Redman and Scott Stallings. Speaking of “Mr. Generic PGA Tour Pro” Scott Stallings, what can we expect from Scott on Friday after a stellar 7-under 65 (12:53). We save the best for last & chat about Rick’s boy Doc Redman. Can the 2017 U.S. Amateur winner repeat his success here from last year (16:58)?

Historic win for Dustin Johnson at the Travelers (6/28) Jun 29, 2020

Show notes

Dustin Johnson is victorious again! DJ is now a 21-time winner on the PGA Tour with at least one victory in every season since the start of his PGA Tour career (2:08). Brendon Todd came up short on Sunday after a stellar 3 rounds which saw him hit 41 of 42 fairways. Are we “out” on the Todd Father or can we expect to see him in more final groups this season (13:15)? Will Gordon earned special temporary status after finishing in a two-way tie for third place. We dive into what that means for him and how he earns full status on the PGA Tour (19:05).Viktor Hovland has been on a heater since golf returned to the airwaves. Can he shake the curse of the “Puerto Rico Open” (26:22)?Stick around after the break where Kyle and Rick get revenge on Producer Jacob after Phil proved his game actually is in shambles (33:55). Rory McIlroy hasn’t been quite the same since the PGA Tour returned to action. Are we concerned about the world’s no. 1 ranked player (42:08)?Finally we wrap with a little bit of talk around Big Ole Beefy Bryson. He’s notched six consecutive top-10 finishes, is his next win looming at the Rocket Mortgage Classic next week (47:18)?
