On Friday, Smylie and Charlie discuss the changed weather conditions that led to less low scoring, and the razor thin difference between birdie and bogey at LACC. On Saturday, Smylie and Charlie discuss a moving day without a lot of movement, and the type of approach that players at the top of the leaderboard need to bring into Sunday if they want to win a major. On Sunday, Smylie and Charlie recap Wyndham Clark's convincing win over a leaderboard full of experience and major winners, and talk about the way Rickie Fowler handled losing with grace and class.
