Joseph LaMagna

What a way to kick off Presidents Cup week in one of America's two cities! Andy and Brendan were live at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois for a night of fun, discussing the return of one of golf's biggest events to the Chicago area, Bryson DeChambeau's latest YouTube exploit, and more. The two are then joined by NBC analyst and B. Draddy ambassador Brad Faxon. Brad shares stories from his time representing the United States at two Ryder Cups, details how he would fix American team golf, and previews what's to come on this weekend's NBC broadcast. The Boys then pop in for a hotly-contested Presidents Cup draft that you won't want to miss. The show wraps with some Q&A submitted by the live audience, touching on Brad's willingness to work with Duff Foreman, a pro golf comparison for Caleb Williams, and who's most likely to have an interest in fighting at Medinah this week. Thank you to all who came out to SPACE on the 21st night of September!
