Cheers! Love these episodes!!
Did such an awesome job summarizing 2016 that I’m pausing this to go find the coverage and rewatch the final round.
Phil shoots 267 in the 16 Open to lose, and shot 266 in the 2001 PGA to lose to Toms. Lefty had his shares of blown calls, but has been done in by out of this world golf as well
phil with back to back runner up finishes at troon 12 years apart…. insane
I always appreciate your accuracy and detail chaps but England's Gary Evans never played in the Ryder Cup (1:07:44)
Please can KVV stop trying to explain Rory’s nationality situation. Second time he’s got it wrong. Said Rory “grew up feeing English”. No one in Northern Ireland grows up feeling “English”. Man has no idea the difference between English and British. Texans are so ignorant 😉
Come on Soly, there are tons of available photos of the tiger striped streaker on the internet…
These deep dives are golden. Thank you for doing them and please keep it up!!!
Great video guys. Monty is a real sad story to me. I still think and this my opinion of course, that Monty is the best golfer I have ever seen that never won a major. I don't know who is second. Won the order of merit like 8 times yet couldn't get 1. Then you see guys like Ben Curtis, Todd Hamilton, Jeff Sluman, and even Sean Mcheel who 1. No disrespect to them but I think was a way better golfer than of them.
i am lifetime -1 through 10 & 11, circa 7ish rounds.
The FanDuel add after making Phil sports betting jokes is peak
