Episode 1468: Can Tiger Go Back-To-Back, Hurling Is Back, Rory’s Olympic Flips, Man City’s Chants
The hurling championship took it’s seasonal bow last weekend, and we should hardly have been surprised at just how many talking-points came from the first 4 games of the Leinster and Munster championships.

Michael Duignan and Malachy Clerkin (18.05 mins) take us through the man-marking job Greg Kennedy, Dublin selector, did on Saturday night. We also discuss Tipp’s resurgence, Cork on the wane, and the improbability of turning defeat in round 1 into a victory in round 2.
The life of a Maor Foirne is a simple one – until he inserts himself into the action. Darragh Ó Sé’s first column of the summer.https://t.co/KRxbi2y6tm

Alex Myers of Golf Digest talks to us (50.30 mins) about Tiger’s return to golf after 5 weeks of rest in the aftermath of his Augusta National victory, and whether he can win back-to-back majors for the first time since 2002.
I decided to write more about how much @TigerWoods’ Masters win meant to me—both as a writer and yes, as a fan. (HINT: A lot.) https://t.co/QldBcprdgq

Since they won the Premier League on Sunday, Man City’s PR team have been having a bad week after news of a potential Champions League ban and now a video of players singing an offensive chant.

Ken looks at (7 mins) what this says about those involved and those defending it.
Plus there’s Harvard hurlers, Bubba Watson, and Rory McIlroy declares for Ireland (48.50 mins) … again.
.@bubbawatson tells great story from 2010 @TravelersChamp where he blew off playing a practice round with Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin to… check out a nearby water park. Wound up winning first PGA Tour title that week and qualifying for U.S. team.
