THE LAST FIRST DAY OF WGC MATCH PLAY | Mar. 22
The swan song is on for the WGC era as the Dell Technologies Match Play starts its final edition today in Austin, Texas. Todd Lewis joins us throughout the morning with updates on the field as players begin competing in pool play. Yesterday, we got divergent answers from world no.2 Jon Rahm and no.3 Rory McIlroy about the USGA and R&A proposal to roll back the golf ball. George and Eamon discuss how the two titans disagree and then share their thoughts on the matter. It's World Water Day today! USGA Green Section Managing Director Matt Pringle stops by to discuss how the national governing body of the game is committed to reducing water usage on then nation's courses. In the ladies game, Agathe Laisne is getting ready to tee it up in the LPGA this week after winning earlier this month on the EPSON TOUR. Laisne talks to us about her success in the pro game so far, and how she plans to parlay it into permanent status at the game's highest level. Nick Gabrelcik is an accomplished amateur golfer already, even though he's yet to complete his freshman year at the University of Northern Florida. The no. 12 player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking discusses his ascendant career with us, highlighted recently by an eagle and a made cut in his hometown PGA TOUR event: The Valspar Championship. Headed back to Austin, Willie Nelson's son Lukas is not only a strong musician in his own right but also an accomplished golfer. Lukas chats with us about his love of golf, how the Austin area has evolved in his lifetime and his new album. Matt Pringle (20:02) Agatha Laisne (26:09) Nick Gabrelcik (30:59) Lukas Nelson (37:04)
