SVP and Stanford Steve are back to recap an action-packed weekend in Philadelphia at the PGA Championship. The guys were at The Mink and got to witness a life-changing, historic performance from Aaron Rai as he won the 108th PGA Championship. Rai’s back nine is something to be celebrated by all, and his approach, demeanor and personality make the win all the more great to see. The Cavs dominated the Pistons in Game 7, and now the ECFs and WCFs are set. The pressure is still ALL on New York, and can San Antonio pull off the upset? Discussing the top storylines before the conference finals as well as what’s to come in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
