About this episode
Join us for another episode of The Smylie Show, as Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down the record-setting week that saw Hideki Matsuyama smash the 72-hole PGA TOUR scoring record at the Sentry. From incredible wedge play to a successful debut for his center-shafted putter, we take a dive into the factors behind Hideki's dominance at Kapalua - including favorable conditions that yielded low scores across the board. Plus, get insights into Collin Morikawa's runner-up finish, and some new routines that are key to his iron play. The guys also dive into equipment changes across the Tour, including Max Homa's move to Cobra/Puma/Lululemon, and buzz around some new equipment put into play this week. Get their takes on potential Tour Championship format changes (match play???) and some "Luke Clanton Rule" changes to the PGA TOUR U Accelerated system that could impact the pathway college players take to the pros.
