Holly G along with Will Perry are in the studio wrapping up the first event of the FedEx Cup playoffs, The Barclays, won by Patrick Reed.

Steve Eubanks, Global Golf Post, talks about Ariya Jutanugarn's 5th win on the LPGA Tour. Steve compares her ball striking to that of a PGA Tour player. She over powers golf courses and fields. Will comments that she reminds him of the domination that Yani Tseng had in the LPGA a few years ago.

Holly asks Steve about Inbee Park winning the gold medal in Rio. He said it was comparable to Tiger Woods winning the U.S. Open with a broken leg. Everything that Inbee has been through of late including her injury ... to just come out and play so well and capture the gold was incredible.

Steve turns his focus to the PGA Tour. He and Will talk about Jordan Spieth's play of this year as compared to his domination last year when he won the FedEx Cup title. Steve doesn't think Jordan may ever play the four majors as well as he did last year. 

Holly asks Steve about this week's Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston and who the course may favor. Steve said it's a layout that favors defending champion Rickie Fowler. Steve feels that the guy who makes the most 20 footers is going to win this event. Holly mentions that Billy Horschel tied for 13th in the Barclays and won the FedEx Cup a couple years ago. The player who is playing well right now and didn't have his best "stuff" this past week is said Patrick Reed.
