Scottie Scheffler Conceded a 32-Footer After a Fan Yelled. Would You?

About this episode
Scottie Scheffler conceded a 32-foot putt at the Presidents Cup after a fan yelled in Nico Echavarria's swing. James Shin calls it the right move and says he'd do the same, because he wants to win fair and square. Jeff Shin isn't buying the halo. Scottie still had a tap-in for par, and Jeff says he doesn't give that putt if he's staring at bogey. Would you?
Then the brothers fight about their own cup. James wants to play straight up with no handicaps, and he brings it up after the draft. Jeff calls it a hustle, says you just average the two handicaps in alternate shot, and then falls for the bait anyway. First nine best ball, second nine alternate shot, then singles, with dinner riding on which captain wins.
The Oklahoma 2v2 happened. Two guys came up from Oklahoma to play us, and they lost. Jeff came away impressed by how a low handicapper scrambles and chips. James saw mediocre golf and says a 40-foot putt is luck, not skill. They played the same round and still can't agree on it.
Also in this one: Presidents Cup week at Medinah, Tom Kim and Korean golfers' military service, and Jackson Koivun's club twirl on 18.
Free Relief: does playing for money make you a better golfer? Both hosts say yes. Jeff wants to go further and ban "that's good" whenever money's on the line. Putt everything out.
