After weather dominated the Players Championship, the week we just had in Tampa, Florida, was wonderful and ended on time Sunday afternoon — kinda.
Sam Burns was able to take down PGA Tour rookie Davis Riley in a playoff to claim his second-straight Valspar Championship title and third win in the last 12 months. With his win, Burns decided to take a little vacation before the year’s first men’s major, withdrawing from this week’s WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, joining Cameron Smith and Rory McIlroy as some of the big names not traveling to Austin.
But, this week on the Twilight 9 podcast, the focus wasn’t on the Snake Pit, it was on the March Madness-like bracket that was announced Monday. So many stacked groups, so many options, and we ran through them all.
On the show, we went through each group, chose a winner, and continued until we had a champion — and that name might shock you.
We also went through our favorite picks for the week, including Max Homa claiming Group 8.
