The 19th Hole Golf Show: Is there a fix for the WGC-Match Play, and Rory on fan behavior

On this episode, Ryan talks about the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play and gets into the annual complaining about the round-robin format. Should we be longing for the days of single elimination, or is there a unicorn format out that which would make everyone happy? (There isn't.)

Ryan also gets into the latest comments from Rory McIlroy and PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan about fan behavior.
