Week 23 of the golfing calendar and Nick and Mark are back for another big show.The show opens with Marko putting an accusation to Nick about left handed v right handed play.

Mark also suggested that Rose has come from nowhere - Nick lists off a litany of strong performances to suggest otherwise.Discussion around Memorial and the great performance of Viktor Hovland and Denny McCarthy - Nick reckons Hovland is looking very good for the US Open. Mark decides to do a masterclass on the footwork of McCarthy which he reckons is impressive.The boys talk about Billy Horschel, particularly the press conference after his Memorial performance.

Life-changing.Nick talks about what he’d like to see Rory McIlroy change in his game.Back to Rose Zhang - Marko and Nick are amazed about her choice of a 5-iron on the 72nd hole out of the bunker at the weekend.
