Speaker 2: Michael Glading is the New Zealand Open tournament director and

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: with us, Hey.

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: Michael, hey, he how are you how very well?

13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: How big is this?

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: It's massive, It's massive, It's it really is a game

15
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 1: changer for him. You know, he's since he's been on

16
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: an American tour, he's talked about how he's got to

17
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: get a win, and he's done that, and you know,

18
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: he's it's just fantastic for him. I mean, he's he

19
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: was in a position, I think a couple of years

20
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: ago where he could have gone and joined the Live.

21
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: He was certainly approached by Live, and he chose to

22
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: go on the PGA Tour because ever since he was

23
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: a kid, he wanted to you know, play the PGA

24
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Tour and then wanted to win on the PGA Tour

25
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: and he's achieved that. So it's very exciting.

26
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: Michael. How about this? Did he actually did he only

27
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: catch up to first when he was on the fifteenth.

28
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, that's right. He was always one or

29
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: two behind, but he just never made a mistake the whole.

30
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: I mean, to have a round like he had today

31
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: where he didn't drop a shot in eighteen holes was fantastic.

32
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: And the day before he only had two parts the

33
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: day before because the round was full of drop shots

34
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: or birdies or eagles. So that was a phenomenal round.

35
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: But today's round was just a round of steady, icy

36
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: and when you need it, get the birdies. It was

37
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: pretty exciting.

38
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: So what's your your feeling, Michael? Has he got the

39
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: break that he deserves and he will now be able

40
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: to absolutely, you know, dominate or is this just a

41
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: lucky break? How do you think he's going to go

42
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: in the PGA.

43
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: Oh, he's just got he's got noodles of talent. I mean,

44
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, he's not what you'd call the classic perfect

45
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: golf swing. But he's just got talent from head to

46
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: toe and he's got the attitude that goes with it.

47
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: You know. There he isn't the playoff for his biggest

48
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: tournament of his life and he's walking down the fairway

49
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: chat chat chat, and that's just so Ryan. He's just

50
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: got He's got a unique and wonderful personality which allows

51
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: him to relax between shots. It allows he's just got

52
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: the mental and this game, at this level, it's really

53
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: about being mentally tough, and he's he's whilst he's got

54
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: a laxa lexadaisical look about him, he's actually mentally incredibly

55
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: tough and he's proven that again today. It's a I

56
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: think it's a it's a well deserved and something that.

57
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: Look he's been, I have been. I keep in touch

58
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: with them, and over the last few weeks he's been saying,

59
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: my game's close, My games close, My game's close. So

60
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: you know he's now it's more than close. He got

61
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: through the door.
