The Shotgun Start


Feb 25, 2019

We return from the weekend worse for the wear but ready to praise Dustin Johnson, now a 20-time winner on the PGA Tour. We review DJ’s style of play and how it worked to dominate at Chapultepec, the company he joins in the 20-win club, and if those lofty achievements set against his major record make his career a disappointment in a way. We also hit on Rory’s continued run of top 5s and Brandel’s pointed critique that Tiger played in a conservative way that he had to know could not get him a win. Then Andy gets all worked up about the embarrassing penalty on Rickie Fowler’s shoulder-height drop. Bryson’s hollow Twitter apology gets an assessment and we ponder if enraged needless course damage should be a DQ. In further rules drama, we also discuss the LPGA backstopping controversy and whether that rises to the level using the word “cheating.” Andy provides an important update on the bottom of the Puerto Rico leaderboard before we wrap with news, which includes the disturbance to #JupLife that busted Bob Kraft. Finally, we end with an announcement on a new Shotgun Start Fan Vote initiative.
