  • Blades Brown is youngest winner in 95 years and Rahm is back

    Blades Brown is youngest winner in 95 years and Rahm is back
    Nov 10 2026

    Rahm’s Asterisks and Blades Brown at 19

    Jon Rahm is back winning. He shot 23 under at Yas Links in Abu Dhabi, ahead of Tyrrell Hatton (-21) and Rory McIlroy (-19). That’s his 6th Rolex Series title and his 11th DP World Tour win in just 92 starts.

    So of course Lou hands out a few asterisks. Mark keeps count.

    Then the guys get to Blades Brown. He won on the PGA Tour in Mexico at 19, coming from 7 back to beat Ben James in a playoff. That makes him one of the youngest winners in PGA Tour history.

    In this episode:

    • (01:53) Greg’s idea: players who earn PGA Tour cards through the DP World Tour should have to go back and support it
    • (05:12) Why Tom Byrum kept going back to an event he didn’t even like
    • (13:24) Lou asks whether dual-status events inflate Rahm’s DP World Tour win total
    • (17:01) The payout math, and Greg’s math gets an asterisk too
    • (26:26) The big names who skipped Abu Dhabi over travel safety concerns
    • (28:21) Greg on helicopters past guerrillas in Sri Lanka and a guy with a shotgun in Panama
    • (34:42) Lou’s Ben James story from Maidstone in 2022: 71-71-69 in brutal weather, when the field averaged about 78. James won by 9.
    • (41:22) Greg wonders if pro golf is heading toward a tennis-style career, on tour at 20 and done at 32
    • (46:32) Mark asks if Masters winners have gotten any younger in the last 20 years
    • (51:15) Tiger’s “I’m here to win” and the confidence young players bring now


    Also, Lou tells 4 jokes. Mark rates them on pacing.

Really enjoyed this one. My question would be. Why despite hitting balls on the range nearly every day do I see little improvement in my game?

Best episode.
