Viktor Hovland wins the BMW with a blistering back nine 28 en route to a course record 61 at Olympia Fields to claim the second leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. We try to wrap our brains around Hovland's finish and the week for Scottie, Rory, The Pro, and some first hand reporting from TC and DJ who were both on location (just outside of Chicago).

Then it's on to some fiery Ryder Cup discussion (37:30) before some reactions to the US Am, LPGA-LET and Euro events this week (1:10:30). We wrap with some hard hitting analysis of Blockie's round at Valhalla, our interview with Billy Walters and some personal life updates on our way out.
