Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme bid a final "aloha" to the PGA Tour's two-event stop in Hawaii, with Smylie on the broadcast that saw four players all in real contention until the very end, culminating with a roller-coaster two-hole playoff. Smylie begins the show with some pressing questions about acai bowls and a conversation with Charlie regarding children's golf clubs, and wraps with the return of what we're calling "Smylie's Superlatives" - naming the player who impressed him the most at the Sony Open off the tee, approach, around the green, and putting.
Charlie then catches up with UNC senior David Ford - currently the #1 player in the PGA TOUR U rankings - as he heads to play in the DP World Tour's Hero Dubai Desert Classic. David discusses everything from the changing landscape of collegiate athletics as it relates to recruiting/NIL/revenue sharing, to an unbelievable birdie run and incredible score to win an event at one of America's most iconic golf courses.
