Episode 136: Thomas Triumphs at Harbour Town

Author: Break 80 Podcast April 21, 2025 Duration: 58:06
Justin Thomas broke his 3 year winless drought at Harbour Town, defeating Break80 Podcast favorite and former guest Andrew Novak on the first playoff hole by sinking a 21 foot birdie putt. It is Thomas' first win since the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills. We will discuss how the tournament went and give some observations both good and bad from the week that was at the RBC Heritage. Joel Dahmen had a meltdown on the last 3 holes in Punta Cana to lose to Garrick Higgo in the off field event this week. We will talk the mental side of the game and how challenging it can be for even professional golfers. It is golf season again in Minnesota and the Break80 guys are out playing. We talk about the state of our games and what we look forward to in the 2025 season. Subscribe to the Break80 Podcast on Apple, Spotify and Youtube for weekly golf content.

The Break80 Podcast is a weekly conversation with Stouds, Mike, and Tim, three friends who find as much to talk about in the game's margins as in its major championships. This isn't just a recap of tour scores; it's a deep dive into the personal stories, the memorable rounds, and the local characters that give golf its texture. You'll hear their own experiences on the course, the good shots and the bad breaks, all framed by a genuine curiosity about what makes the sport compelling. The show actively seeks out the people and places that don't always make the headlines but are essential to the game's heart. It's built on the idea that the pursuit of that magic number-breaking 80-is a universal struggle, a mix of technical challenge and personal narrative. Tuning into this podcast feels like pulling up a chair in the grill room after a round, where the discussion ranges from equipment quirks to course design, always with a focus on the camaraderie that keeps players coming back. The Break80 crew operates with the understanding that the difference between a 79 and an 80 is everything, a philosophy that colors every story they uncover and every topic they share with their listeners.
