    Internet Invitational Storylines

Transcript

Internet invitational has the golf world going insane and we're only through one video. So here are three of the best storylines from episode one. Coming in at number three, Andrew Santino. It's pretty obvious that he has the Internet golf fans pissed off. There's a moment from episode one where Wesley Bryan did not give Andrew Santino and Good King a putt, and then he had this to say. And no more pros in this fucking tournament next year. Scoop, all shit. What could be said about that? Why why do you... Are you loaded up now? You got something? You're gonna... You're fucking testing the dragon. Don't do it. Bring it. Bring it. As you can imagine, that hasn't really gone over too well with YouTube golf fans. But the Internet needs to worst, this man is a professional comedian. He knows how to dig. He was just playing the Internet invitational game. He doesn't truly hate George rank Westlake. I've also been told by people there he was the best person to hang out with. Coming in at number two, we've got Grant Horvath. He was paired up with Riggs from Barstool Sports who now has infinite more allegations that his handicap is fake. But the vibes just felt off between Grant and Riggs, which led to them losing their match to Peter Finch and the Better. And Grant's just such a genuine human being. He didn't let it show, but he was dealt the worst hand. A huge shout out to Bin Yaman. That man was putting lights out. And also, if you enjoy internet invitational content like this, follow for more. And coming in at number one, I think the Internet will all agree with this, Sean Walsh. Shane, he didn't even play in the Internet invitational. Yeah. That's why he's the number one best loser because I think he got screwed. Sean Walsh has been playing lights out golf and deserved to be there. But I'd love to hear who you think had the biggest storyline from episode one.
