Current Sports #516 | July 23, 2015

Becky Hammon discussion continued, Gary Player and spreading the game of golf, Suzy Merchant, Tori Franklin interview and Throwback Thursday.

Kicking off this Current Sports, yesterday's Becky Hammon debate is revisited with listener input considered as well. Then, Al and Isaac comment on Gary Player's comments that golf needs a black champion. Following that, Suzy Merchant's scholarship offer to eighth-grader Laya Hartman has drawn some attention, but is it unfair to Hartman? After the first break, hear a sneak peek of Current Sports TV's interview with Tori Franklin before a quick 'Throwback Thursday'.
