Stewart Cink wins the Safeway Open, a dramatic finish at the ANA Inspiration plus a COVID-related WD from next week’s U.S. Open. We’re talking about that and more on The First Cut Golf Podcast…

Stewart Cink is a winner on the PGA Tour once again, the 47 year old notches his first victory since the 2009 Open Championship over Tom Watson in a playoff (1:34). 

We chat about the “best of the rest” including the runner-up Harry Higgs, can we expect golf twitter’s darling son to make a greater impact on the TOUR moving forward (6:30)?

Akshay Bhatia is only 18-years old, but he’s already secured his next PGA Tour start after a top 10 finish this week. Just how important is it for a young player like him to earn his keep when those sponsor exemptions run out (15:45).

Scottie Scheffler has withdrawn from the U.S. Open after testing positive for COVID-19. Tommy Fleetwood will be entering U.S. Open week in great form, is he worth a wager at Winged Foot (17:50)?

Mirim Lee won the ANA Inspiration after closing out with a chip-in eagle to tie the lead at the end of regulation. We dive into her victory and the controversial “Great Wall of Dinah” (23:30).
