Listen "The Historic Fall: Duke's Late Collapse and Ovechkin's Record-Breaking Goal"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textRecorded April 6th, 2025Masters Week has arrived, and the excitement is palpable as Graham and Scott break down all the storylines heading to Augusta National. With significant rainfall in the forecast, the traditionally firm and fast course conditions could transform dramatically, potentially favoring the game's longest hitters like Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau.The pressure on McIlroy has never been greater as he seeks to complete the career Grand Slam after already capturing two signature event victories this season. The hosts debate whether Rory can overcome the mental challenges that Augusta presents – handling the Sunday roars, navigating the sparse leaderboard information, and managing the enormous expectations that have followed him throughout his career. Meanwhile, Scott remains steadfast in his support for Bryson, while both hosts question Jon Rahm's surprisingly favorable odds.Before diving into golf, the duo recaps two stunning weekend sports moments: Alex Ovechkin tying Wayne Gretzky's goal record (while refusing to score on an empty net out of respect for the game) and Duke's shocking collapse against Houston in the Final Four. Despite leading by 14 points with just eight minutes remaining, Duke went ice cold and ultimately lost by three points, leaving even Carolina fan Graham feeling sympathetic toward his rival.The episode also features discussions on hypothetical Champions Dinner menus, dark horse contenders like Min Woo Lee and Corey Conners, and exciting new features on the Masters app that will allow fans to track players' range sessions with detailed statistics. With the NCAA Championship game featuring Florida versus Houston on the horizon, and a special NHL playoffs preview episode with hockey expert TP coming next week, the bald guys on the bench continue delivering insightful sports commentary with their trademark humor and passion.Subscribe now and join us each week as we break down the biggest moments in sports from our perspective on the bench!#baldguysonthebench #graboneandcrackone #ncaa #finalfour #duke #themasters #rorymcilroy #brysondechambeau #marchmadness
