The Smylie Show is once again on the road – and live from the driving range at Castle Pines Golf Club as we get ready for the penultimate FedEx Cup playoff event, the BMW Championship!
Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down a highly entertaining Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, with intrigue at the top *and* bottom of the leaderboard – the final pairing of Hideki Matsuyama and Nick Dunlap produced both the eventual winner, and an unlikely entrant into the top 50 of the FedEx Cup standings.
Smylie and Charlie are then joined by Eric Cole, who vaulted his way into the top 50 with a final round 63 at the FedEx St. Jude. Eric recounts a roller-coaster Sunday round that qualified him for PGA TOUR signature events for a second straight year.

I had Eric in my six man fantasy team for the Jude, on the last day I replaced him with Cantlay.
Eric then ripped the course a new one with a 63 . 😭
Great content. Eric Cole is a very interesting story. Many years on the mini tours and now a strong PGA Tour career. Quite remarkable.
Jordan Spieth was the sacrificial lamb of the pissing contest. While it was a successful at 38%. I thought the percentage would have been in the low 40s like the guys. It should that it worked. However fans and media will still complain if Scottie doesnt hold the trophy. So cool they are live from Denver. Beautiful backdrop they had for their Monday podcast. Hopefully it aint hot for Smylies happy hour on Friday. Everybody was jealous on the podcast when Smylie was at the bar last week with AC. When Hideki had talked to the refs on 12, you can tell that it effected him. However fans and media were going off on X claiming that they were trying to make sure Scottie won allegedly. i know Todd Lewis spoke to Gary Young on Golf Central. Gary basically did PR Damage Control. Awesome interview with Eric.
VIK knew were he stood on 17 fairway before the drop. You forget so many people watch coverage on their phones and leaderboards and you had already walked up when a lot of fans already told him 😂
