SK and CH are then joined for a wide-ranging interview with Sepp Straka, covering everything from whether a hole-in-one on a par three course counts, to Sepp's affinity for Taylor Swift. 1982 Masters champion (and Denver resident) Craig Stadler then joins to discuss his history playing at Castle Pines 17 times while on Tour. And finally, we close out the show with our one-and-done picks for the BMW Championship.
