Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap Chris Gotterup and Patrick Reed winning their respective second tournament in three starts to move into the top 20 in the world rankings.
They also discuss whether fans at the WM PHX Open crossed a line in interfering with Hideki Matsuyama twice on Sunday. Finally, they address the revived debate - should the PLAYERS be considered the fifth major?

Ryan Gerard joins Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme on The Smylie Show for a conversation covering everything from finding Mauritius on a map so he could earn a Masters invite, to his lack of a dining room table 😂
The guys dive into Ryan’s UNC days, the legendary “Mr. Clutch” shirt, Steak Wednesdays with Ben Griffin, and the big-money offer he turned down in December 2025.
Plus: A robust Scotty Cameron collection, how his caddie "Pepsi" earned the nickname, and why Ryan’s apartment has more putting mats than plates.
