Episode 146: Potgieter Powers to Victory in Detroit & Patrick Reed to the Ryder Cup?

Detroit Golf Club has become a power hitters paradise in recent years and the 2025 Rocket Classic was no different as the longest hitter on tour, 20-year-old Aldrich Potgieter took home the title in a playoff over Max Greyserman and Chris Kirk. Potgieter became one of the youngest winners in PGA Tour history and we may be seeing a star in the making. Tim was on the scene in Detroit a few years ago and gives some insight into the course and the tournament. Patrick Reed won LIV Dallas for his first LIV title and has stoked some talk about a possible Ryder Cup pick for Bethpage this year. Although it seems like a longshot, we will discuss the possibility on this episode. The Broadmoor offered a confusing challenge on the Champions Tour for the U.S. Senior Open as many in the field were befuddled by its greens. Padraig Harrington held off Stewart Cink for the victory, even after some controversy days earlier after a round with Roger Maltby. On the YouTube front, Riggs took on another hater and this guy may have been the most miserable person he has played yet as Riggs pounded him into submission at We-Ko-Pa.
