Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost caught up with the golfers in between holes and provided lots of entertaining golf content. Steve Roman and his wife drove up to Tahoe from Roseville for the tournament. Nate Bargatze is a returning player saying he is sure this event is an energetic atmosphere and the celebrities are really cool and cool to talk to.
