In the second segment of this week's show, Host Holly G, and social media expert Will Perry, are joined by Jeff Babineau, Golfweek. Holly and Jeff start off the segment talking about Rod Pampling's win. His last win was 10 years ago at Bay Hill.
The conversation turns to the wrap around season and how these events in fall can help get some of the players off on the right foot. Players like Keegan Bradley and Glover who have placed in the Top 10 in two events already this season as compared to last year on the PGA Tour.
Will asks Jeff about what some of the players are talking about heading into this week's OHL Classic. Jeff mentions that winning on Tour in the fall is like getting three years of eligibility back. Pampling's win will give him PGA Tour status up until his 50th birthday now and he will be ready for the Champions Tour.
Will asks Jeff about the new era with Jay Monahan becoming the new commissioner. Jeff said Jay is well respected on the Tour and feels he will be able to keep the Tour on the successful track that Tim Finchem (pictured) has built over the past 22 years.
Holly switches gears and asks Jeff about some of the young players on Tour, like Aaron Wise, the 20-year-old from the University of Oregon.
Ryan Moore has been playing well of late. Jeff said that Moore's success at the Ryder Cup seems to have boosted his confidence.
Holly aks Jeff who he likes to win this week at the OHL: Jeff says Jon Rahm, Keegan Bradley or Chris Kirk.
