Ep 71: Chipping Yips, Spectator Swarms, and Victor’s Victory
About this episode
Mel and Kira discuss recent golf events, personal experiences, and notable performances in the sport.
Mel and Kira recap survival-mode weeks: Mel wraps KPMG at Hazeltine, gets a rain-delay “bonus” NBC finish, and becomes internet-famous for duffing a chip on live TV with LPGA commissioner Craig Kessler. They shout out Haeran Ryu’s win, Brooke Henderson’s chance, and Davy Weber’s career-best third that doubled her career earnings. Scheffler goes “video game” mode before a downpour, and a Monday playoff where Viktor Hovland wins (with a huge fan turnout and a sweet moment for his mom). Plus: Ben Rector at the NY Philharmonic, 4th of July hosting with real glassware, Kai’s first range trip, broken compound toilets, and traffic as the weekly shush.
