Jordan Spieth made par after staring death in the face, plus a WM Phoenix Open preview

What a week in golf.

This week on the Twilight 9 podcast, Andy and I had a lot to cover.

Jordan Spieth, hanging from the edge of a cliff on the 8th at Pebble Beach, made one of the best pars you’ll ever see. He’s the only player in the world who could have made par from there.

Phil Mickelson, yes, the man who reportedly won $8 million thanks to a brand-new initiative started by the PGA Tour to reward the game’s most influential players, called the Tour greedy, and because of that may be looking elsewhere to play golf. We dive into that ironic situation.

Harold Varner III won the Saudi International, and that’s the only thing Andy and I know about the event. Might be an early look at how much this new league may change golf. Hint: not a whole lot.

The last segment of the show is our preview for this week’s WM Phoenix Open, including our betting targets for the event.
