On the 58th episode of the Pull Hook Golf podcast, hosts Matt and Bobby begin with a recap of the RBC Heritage, where Matt Fitzpatrick defeated Jordan Spieth in a three-hole playoff to claim his first PGA Tour victory. They discuss Fitzpatrick's performance and wonder if he is a player to watch moving forward. They also highlight Spieth's resurgence and how he seems to have regained his form. The hosts talk about Scottie Scheffler's meltdown in the bunker and his outburst, caught on camera, about the ball plugging in the sand. They also praise Jon Rahm for playing well after winning the Masters, earning their respect.

Next, the hosts preview the upcoming Zurich Classic, a team event on the PGA Tour. They discuss Sungjae Im's note to Keith Mitchell asking him to be his partner and share their thoughts on the team event. The hosts make their penny bet predictions for the tournament and select their last-place teams.

The hosts then move on to discuss the upcoming LIV Golf Adelaide event and question whether it is the biggest event of the year for LIV Golf. They also discuss the momentum the strong Masters appearances may have given the tour. The hosts briefly touch on a Twitter account claiming to be an insider for LIV Golf and jokingly saying that the course sets up perfectly for Pat Perez. They also question whether Greg Norman should be banned from talking to the media.

In other news, the hosts mention a recent report from Barstool Sports that revealed Justine Reed as the owner of the @useGolfFACTS burner account. The hosts conclude the episode with their Golf Picks But LOUDER segment, where they predict the last-place individual and team for the upcoming LIV Golf Adelaide event.
