Episode Synopsis
On November 24th, 2025, we recap the wild final round of the RSM Classic, where Sami Valimaki became the first Finn to win on Tour, but the real story was the brutal bubble implications from one final putt.VALIMAKI'S HISTORIC WINSami Valimaki captured the RSM Classic with a final score of 23-under, becoming the first-ever Finnish player to win on the PGA Tour. His victory was sealed with a gutsy 19-foot putt from off the green on hole 16."I hope I can bring more golfers from Finland."In his emotional post-round interview, he simply said the victory was "just for the happiness."THE PUTT THAT CHANGED EVERYTHINGThe day's biggest drama came from Max McGreevy's 30-foot birdie putt on 18. The shot secured him solo second, launched him into the Aon Next 10, and devastatingly eliminated Ricky Castillo from the top 100."I'm where I am because of my golf, nobody else's golf," said a heartbroken Lee Hodges, who finished at number 101 after a final-hole miss.The putt created agony for Hodges and Castillo but pure relief for Joel Dahmen, who nervously waited with his wife Lona to officially secure his card.Quick HitsSam Stevens' hole-in-one • Vets Matt Wallace & Matt Kuchar lose full status • Masters spots on the line for Stevens & Keefer Hosted on Acast.
