Author: Break 80 Podcast April 11, 2023 Duration: 1:21:06
Jon Rahm battled Augusta National and the elements en route to an easy victory in the end at the Masters. Rahm becomes the first European to win both the Masters and U.S. Open. We will dive into Rahm's mastery of Augusta and discuss LIV golfers good showing, including Phil Mickelson coming out of nowhere to fire one of the best Sunday rounds Augusta National has seen. Does Brooks Koepka have a Sunday problem in majors? After cruising through the first 42 holes of the tournament, Koepka struggled mightily Sunday in finishing the third round and throughout the final round. This has been an issue for him over the past 4 times he has been in contention on a Sunday of a major. We will of course talk Tiger and the disappointment of Rory missing the cut and a bunch of other stuff Master's related. The PGA Tour heads 130 miles to Hilton Head and Harbor Town for the RBC Heritage, which is an elevated event this year, so no rest for the stars of the PGA Tour - well, except for Rory that is. We will make some picks for this weeks event and talk about the uniqueness that is Harbor Town. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.
