About this episode

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap Russell Henley's playoff win at the Charles Schwab Challenge and discuss Smylie's experience at Pebble Beach.

Smylie Kaufman joins Charlie Hulme from the Denver airport after a weekend at Pebble Beach to recap Russell Henley’s dramatic win at the Charles Schwab Challenge - and, of course, his own play on the Monterey Peninsula. Henley closed birdie-birdie-birdie at Colonial to force a playoff with Eric Cole, then made one more birdie on the first extra hole to win the Charles Schwab Challenge. Smylie and Charlie break down Henley’s clutch putting, Eric Cole’s latest near-miss in search of his first PGA TOUR win, why Colonial rewards elite ball-striking and accuracy, and strong weeks from Ryan Gerard, Ben Griffin, and J.J. Spaun. The guys also look ahead to the Memorial Tournament and the U.S. Open, with Smylie identifying players he wants to see trending before the next major.
