2025 Cologuard Classic Recap

Author: Golf Swing Productions by Mark Crossfield Greg Chalmers and Lou Stagner March 17, 2025 Duration: 34:07

Greg came thisclose to winning the 2025 Cologuard Classic. In this episode, Mark and Lou don their media hats to do the post-round interview, Hack It Out-style. We get Greg's thoughts on some of the crucial shots down the stretch, the pressure of sleeping (twice) on the lead, the challenge of bringing some new swing movement into tournament pressure (and having the old pattern show up at the wrong time), and why Greg loved Sunday. Gregulators: this is a must-listen.
