Andy and Brendan gather for this “signature” recap from the Truist Championship at Philly Cricket Club. They list what they liked, and what they didn’t like from the weekend in Philadelphia. There is much pomp and circumstance about the Sepptic Tank rumbling his way to another win, and they handicap his chances for the PGA in Charlotte. There is also a Rory temperature check after a top 10 week and the next major now here. They debate whether this new schedule “sucks” and if it should have been Players week instead. The rollback debate that erupted based on the initial scores at the 7100 yard classic course is revisited, with notes about trees and Lucas Glover trying to have his cake and eat it too. There’s a Justin Thomas assessment as well — is he all the way back?? There’s some quick reaction to the Myrtle Beach Classic, LPGA, and DP World Tour as well before news signs off on a possible Rory trip to Australia and two new trademarked TGL names.
