Spiranac said, “But speaking of commentary, I was so bored by Nantz and Faldo. It is this insanely intense playoff, I mean, even that with Mito on 18 into the playoff, it was insane. And they’re over there just like yep, ‘JT hit a great shot on number 17 in the playoff.’ I am like, ‘JT just hit like the shot of his life and drove this green.’ I’m like, ‘What are they doing?'”
