Holly G and Rich Bianco are in the studio and kick off the show talking about the LPGA.  Holly and Rich return after the Fourth of July holiday break.

Todd Lewis, The Golf Channel, calls in to talk about the LPGA and Inbee Park winning her 3rd Major in  a row. The LPGA added a 5th Major last year. 

Todd also talks to Holly about Jonas Blixt, who shot a final round 67 to win The Greenbrier Classic, the second Tour win of his career and will be headed to Augusta now. 

Holly and Todd talk about the upcoming British Open and some of the players chances. Graeme McDowell just won the Alstom Open de France on the European Tour.

Todd feels that Phil Mickelson has been pressing and that he takes his losses very personally. Phil feels pretty good about his chances at the Open. Tiger is coming off an injury and not playing for a while. Todd feels that Muirfield is the most "Amercianized" of the Open Championships in the past 10 years. 

Jeff Shain, PGATour.com, calls in to talk about The John Deere Classic and the field. Some top PGA Tour players are opting out of the John Deere and competing in the Scottish Open while others chose to go to Muirfield a week early to prepare for the British Open.

Vartan Kupelian, PGA Tour, former writer Detroit News, calls in to talk about the Champions Tour and how all of their Major championships are compacted. Vartan talks about Fred Couples, Duffy Waldorf, Kenny Perry and Tom Watson among other notables. 

The Golf Insiders returns next Wednesday between 6-7 p.m. on AM 740 The Game to preview the British Open.
