Our takeaways so far

Micah MorrisThru Episode 4
Playing insanely high quality golf, and the pressure doesn't touch him.
Justin GaethjeThru Episode 4
Our pick to win it. Most of his golf hasn't made the edit, but the guys in his groups know.
Marissa WenzlerThru Episode 4
This year's Brad Dalke, who won it last year. An absolute stud.
Big JohnThru Episode 4
So good at golf, and shockingly humble. Respect for the game with a little fog.
