The 73rd Hole Podcast dives into a thrilling week in golf, headlined by the historic Zurich Classic victory by brothers Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick—a win that sparked debate over whether Alex deserved his PGA Tour card via team play. The hosts dissect the controversy, with T-Dub arguing that Alex’s DP World Tour win and strong performance make him worthy, while Woody questions the fairness of a brotherly pairing securing a tour card. They praise Matt Fitzpatrick’s dominant season, calling him the best player in the world right now, and contrast his PGA Tour excellence with Jon Rahm’s dominant but less credible Liv performances. The show then shifts to college golf, celebrating Oklahoma State’s dominant Big 12 title win and Preston Stout’s individual championship, while criticizing Oklahoma’s disappointing SEC match play exit despite Jay Summey’s second-place finish. The hosts also critique the NCAA’s lack of rewards for regular-season success, calling the system 'stupid' and advocating for top seeds to choose regional sites. Finally, they preview the return of the Cadillac Championship at Doral, a historic course now back on the PGA Tour, with strong picks for Cam Young and Chris Goddard, and express concern over a packed schedule that may overburden players ahead of the PGA Championship.
Alex Fitzpatrick earned a PGA Tour card through team play with brother Matt, sparking debate over fairness and legitimacy.
Matt Fitzpatrick is playing the best golf of his life, with five top-2 finishes in his last six events including wins at Zurich and RBC Heritage.
Brotherly love at the Zurich Classic was real—Alex Fitzpatrick’s DP World Tour win and strong play make him a legitimate card recipient.
Oklahoma State won the Big 12 title by 8 shots, led by Preston Stout’s 11-under performance and a dominant team effort.
Oklahoma’s SEC match play exit highlights the volatility of the format—despite strong individual play, the team failed to advance due to weak middle-lineup performance.
