Episode Description from the Publisher

LPGA Hall of Famer and three-time major champion Lydia Ko joins Brian, Cooper, and Kenny to talk Augusta National, the mental battles that nearly broke her career, and the Olympic gold medal in Paris that capped one of the great comeback stories in women's golf. Lydia opens up about battling the yips, the moment she thought she'd never break par again, and what it took to climb out. Plus: whether she could make the cut at the Masters playing from the Members' Tees, Brian's claim that her 2018 pro-am round was the greatest ball-striking he's ever witnessed, and how many strokes she'd give Brian on the golf course.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
