Quinno was more than a little unwell, but Cosgrove picked up the slack in fine style. It actually ended up being a really fun show, especially if you're a fan of Toronto, Crunchies, USA cricket, watching football at Brit's, and N'Golo Kante. Rory McIlroy fans may feel differently.Af The Crafty Rogues
