The 19th Hole Golf Show: Matt Kuchar and JB Holmes were slow to act, so did either really win?

On this week's show, we had two controversies to discuss coming out of the Genesis Open.

After some tone-deaf comments about his payment arrangement with El Tucan to caddie for him in Mexico, Matt Kuchar comes around and agrees to pay David Ortiz his requested $50,000. So now what? JB Holmes won the Genesis Open on Sunday, and he frustrated a lot of golf fans in the process with is slow (yet clutch) play. The PGA Tour has to do something to improve its product, so why aren't they?
