Show Notes
On this episode, Matt and Mike sit down with veteran PGA Tour Caddie Bobby Brown for part one of a three part series. The guys discuss how Bobby got his start caddying on the PGA Tour and the role tennis legend Pete Sampras played. Then it's all about Bobby's time with Dustin Johnson. How Bobby talked his way onto Dustin Johnson's bag, pretty clever. How he connected Dustin Johnson and Butch Harmon in 2009 at Hazeltine. The 2010 US Open debacle at Pebble Beach from Bobby's perspective. Lastly, the 2010 infamous PGA Championship "bunker" penalty at Whistling Straights that never should've been.
