Holly G and Rich B are in the studio talking
about Matt Every's win at Arnold Palmer Invitational. Every held on to beat beat Henrik Stenson
who was rattled over being put on clock for slow play. Rich B says Stenson and
his group were one hole behind and that is unacceptable in tournament play.

The Daytona Beach native won his first Tour event at the Arnold Palmer last year. He successfully defended his title this year at the API for his second tour win. 

Holly was at the press center and recorded some audio of Every's interview. She said that Every was refreshingly candid. 

Every spoke about the guy who was in the gallery at 18 and fake coughed "straight putt, straight putt." Every said he was thinking that this guy would have to be a real D&%$ to say something like that and it not be straight. Every sized up the putt and sunk it. He also talks about this win compared to the pressure after winning his first Tour event. 

Bob
Harig ESPN.com, talks to Holly and Rich about the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Stenson's slow play. Bob wrote an article for ESPN.com that covered PGA putting Stenson and his partner on the clock a few times during the event that seemed to rattle Stenson on the 3rd time he was put on the clock. Bob wrote another article stating that Strokes not Fines is the way to end slow play. 

Tim Rosaforte, The Golf Channel, called in and talked with Holly and Rich about several topics around the golf world including the evolution
of the The Golf Channel and what it takes a network to cover an event like the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Tim spoke with Holly and Rich about Tiger's chances of playing in the Masters. He said that it remains to be seen what will happen with Tiger.  

Ann Ligouri, Sports Radio and TV broadcaster, talks with Holly and Rich about her shows from the Sports Interview that she did for 17 years. Some of those old interviews are now
available on Hulu and Amazon. Ann said that the show ran from 1989-2006. During that time she was able to complete more than 600 interviews and 59 are
available already online. Interviews from Ted Williams, Billy Jean King, Mickey Mantle, Annika Sorenstam to Brett Favre. She is hoping that they will be converting her interview with Sam Snead and have it available online soon.

Holly asks Ann how long she has been covering the Masters. "Since 1998." Ann has had the privilege twice to play the Monday after masters twice. Media members put their names in a lottery and are randomly chosen to play on the same set up at Augusta that is used for Sunday's final round including the pin placements. Lottery pin positions
same as Sunday.
