Filling out the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play bracket, previewing the week in Austin, and more
After weather dominated the Players Championship, the week we just had in Tampa, Florida, was wonderful and ended on time Sunday afternoon — kinda.
Sam Burns was able to take down PGA Tour rookie Davis Riley in a playoff to claim his second-straight Valspar Championship title and third win in the last 12 months. With his win, Burns decided to take a little vacation before the year’s first men’s major, withdrawing from this week’s WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, joining Cameron Smith and Rory McIlroy as some of the big names not traveling to Austin.
But, this week on the Twilight 9 podcast, the focus wasn’t on the Snake Pit, it was on the March Madness-like bracket that was announced Monday. So many stacked groups, so many options, and we ran through them all.
On the show, we went through each group, chose a winner, and continued until we had a champion — and that name might shock you.
We also went through our favorite picks for the week, including Max Homa claiming Group 8.
