<p>The fifth installment of our limited-run podcast series recapping Full Swing, the new Netflix show, tackles the Matt Fitzpatrick and Dustin Johnson episode. Hosts Shane Ryan, Sam Weinman, and Alex Myers note that just like with Brooks Koepka and Scottie Scheffler in Episode 2, the show’s producers opted to emphasize a contrast. Here it was between the overachieving Fitzpatrick and the naturally gifted Johnson, with a little bit of LIV Golf tension mixed in as well. While neither personality was as engaging as Joel Dahmen or Ian Poulter, we agreed this was still a well-crafted episode, and had the added benefit of following Fitzpatrick through the closing stages of his triumph at the U.S. Open at the Country Club.</p><p>Check out Shane's recap of the episode <a href="https://www.golfdigest.com/story/full-swing-netflix-episode-5-liv-golf-us-open-brookline-matt-fitzpatrick-dustin-johnson">here</a>.</p>
