Live from Denver: Eric Cole Interview + FedEx St. Jude Recap

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.
