This week, Graham and Scott raise their glasses to Rickie Fowler, whose steady climb back to form culminated in a top-50 FedEx Cup finish that secures his PGA Tour card for next season. After weeks of mounting pressure, Fowler delivered when it mattered most, navigating a tense final round that had the hosts literally puckering with anxiety as they watched critical putts drop.The golf drama extended beyond Fowler's storyline, as Justin Rose mounted a spectacular comeback with five consecutive birdies to force a playoff, which he ultimately won after a precarious shot that barely cleared the water hazard. Meanwhile, Tommy Fleetwood added another heartbreaking chapter to his quest for an American victory, leading for three days before faltering on Sunday – prompting comparisons to Colin Montgomery's similar career trajectory.With the Ryder Cup selections looming just a week away, the hosts dive into who's likely to make the team beyond the automatic qualifiers. JJ Spaun's remarkable journey from fighting for his tour card to second in the Ryder Cup standings earns special mention, as does Scottie Scheffler's 12th consecutive top-8 finish – a streak that surpasses even some of Tiger Woods' best runs.The conversation shifts to NFL preseason action, where the Steelers showed promising depth in their victory over the Jaguars. For the Chargers, excitement about their dominant defense is tempered by the sobering loss of left tackle Rashawn Slater to injury, forcing first-round pick Joe Alt to switch positions. The Browns provided unexpected entertainment by starting rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson due to injuries throughout their quarterback room.Check out our next episode for BMW Championship coverage and final Ryder Cup team selections!
