There is a short intro to our podcast coming after the RBC Heritage PGA golf tournament held in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
Casey was brought into the conversation and he joined us again aboard his new sailboat. We talked about the last day of the tournament falling on Fathers day. The telecast featured numerous mentions of fathers and sons and the eventual winner Webb Simpson was a father of five who had lost his own father a few years ago. Casey mentioned how most of us were introduced to the game by our own fathers. It is a unique game that can be started at a very young age and played into your 80's or even into our 90 years of age. Casey talked about the 2 and a half hour weather delay because of a lightning storm in the area. It obviously changed the dynamic and sucked the momentum from some of the golfers. The delay put the finish and the Sunday and Fathers day completion in jeopardy. Casey was impressed by the -22 winning score and the logjam of players at the top. He stated that the course was playing nice and the greens were receptive and you didn't have to bomb it out there.
When the main coverage on CBS started Dylan Fratelli had taken a two shot lead by blazing to a 62 final round score! Justin Thomas then joined the party at 17 under as well and could have gone lower but the rain delay seemed to derail his mo and he finished with a 63. We talked about Abraham Ancer, Tyrell Hatton among others who had a real shot to win this tourney.
Casey was impressed by Daniel Berger, Brooks Koepka, Sergio Garcia and Joaquin Niemann who all had good showings in the tournament. Casey then brought up Canadian Corey Conners who put together three good rounds but for the second straight week had a disappointing final round. He finished a very respectable 14 under and has really been driving the ball well, he had 90 to 1 odds to win at the beginning of the week so Casey put some money down on him. He also had an 8 game parlay bet and unlike last week when he hit them all he just came up one short.
We got into a great discussion of this tournament and you should listen to the breakdown especially if you missed the TV coverage.
We brought up Nick Watney as the first player to be diagnosed with the corona virus and he had to withdraw after the first round, The PGA tour is doing tests very frequently and is expecting more positive tests in the coming weeks.
