1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? It is Sunday at

2
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: about one o'clock and I've already recorded a podcast. Me

3
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: and Coward went immediately after Scotty won and record a

4
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: little reaction as well as some other stuff. Talked about

5
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: the w NBA players getting ready to boycott for more money,

6
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: barstool coming on the airwaves of Fox, leading into Coward,

7
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: your boy actually might be going back, I think at

8
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: the end of August, middle towards the end of August,

9
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: so we keep you updated there. But did want to

10
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: do a Golo podcast today because obviously the last major

11
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: of the year just happened. Scottie Scheffler wins a second

12
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: major this year. He's one major away now the US Open,

13
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: from the career Grand Slam. So we will talk a

14
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: little bit about a guy becoming a legend in front

15
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: of our eyes as well as listen, I've compared him

16
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: and Rory, and early on I thought Rory was playing

17
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: with the best player in the world. It turned out

18
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: that that Lasagna or was the meatball whatever Scotty was

19
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: trying to cook and cut his hand. The impact that

20
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: had early on the season, clearly Scotty is still the

21
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: best player in the world obviously, but we'll kind of

22
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: dive into Rory Bryce and maybe just some other highlights

23
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: as well as low lights from this week because we

24
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: have a couple guys on the American Ryder Cup team

25
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna be on the team that are just kind

26
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: of embarrassing right now relative to the way they're discussed,

27
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: the way they conduct themselves. So we got some issues.

28
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: But we'll also do a little golo pod is my

29
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: instagram for golf, so at Golopod is the easiest way

30
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: to get involved in the podcast, So fire in those dms,

31
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: get your questions for golf, any questions you have golf related.

32
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: We try to separate that from football on just my

33
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: normal Instagram page, so you can fire in those dms.

34
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: We still got the playoffs, we got Live Golf. I

35
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: think me and Coward might do a broadcast from Live

36
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: Golf Chicago in like three weeks. So I'm efforting to

37
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: try to get Mickelson. I want him to come. I

38
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: don't know exactly how the setup is gonna be, but

39
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: we need to get Phil talking football with me and Coward.

40
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: So that's that is something that I'm aspiring and like

41
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: my ambitions going into this if we do some sit

42
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: down like I don't want dj, I don't want Koepka.

43
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: I would take Bryson, but I think Phil would be

44
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: me and Coward would have fun bs and with him.

45
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: So keep you updated on that endeavor. But before we

46
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: dive into any football or football the Open Championship, the

47
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: fourth major of the year, Scheffler's triumph. We know, I

48
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,840

68
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep talking golf and breaking down Scottie Scheffler,

69
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: So let's dive into what we just witnessed. Brought to

70
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: you by my friends of five Hour Energy, the Transfusion,

71
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: five hour Energy Shots a whole in one flavor sensation

72
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: by now on five hour Energy dot Com. We just

73
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: witnessed a guy becoming a legend. And I think, what's cool?

74
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: And this is why I love sports. I've said it forever.

75
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: I'm a small school guy. I went to cal Paly.

76
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: Our football program one is D one, double A and

77
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: it's not very good. Then. Obviously I got involved in

78
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: football at a much higher level at Fresno State, but

79
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: it was still on the West Coast, always overshadowed by

80
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: the USC's, the Oregons, the Washington's hell even played second

81
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: fiddles to programs like cal in UCLA. So I understand

82
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: the plight of small school people, small business owners. My

83
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: dad was involved in one. I did not grow up

84
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: with a bunch of people that went to USC that

85
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: ran fortune five hundred companies. You know, these weren't my

86
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: people in life. I grew up in a small town.

87
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: But as a sports consumer, I always loved the big fish.

88
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: I was a diehard Michael Jordan guy in the mid nineties,

89
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: like I would imagine many kids around the country. My

90
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: favorite athlete of all time, even more than Michael, would

91
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: be Tiger Woods. I always love watching sports for greatness,

92
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: for Tom Brady, for Peyton Manning, you know, for the

93
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: best in the biggest moments. And that's what Tiger really

94
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: excelled at. He was this absolute rocket ship from when

95
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: I was a kid, and then he just started winning

96
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: the biggest tournaments over and over and over again. Now

97
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: he transcended the sport. He became a cultural icon, especially

98
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: a marketing power behind him that we've probably never seen

99
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: and might never see again. Him and Michael, I would say,

100
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: are pretty unparalleled when it comes to their ability to

101
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: push a product. I mean, the Jordan brand is still

102
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: as strong as ever financially, and Michael hasn't played in

103
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: over two decades. Obviously, Tiger doesn't quite have the power

104
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: that he once had in his heyday. But I've said forever,

105
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: when you see Scottie Scheffler and Rory McElroy and even

106
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,559
Speaker 1: other guys wearing that Nike swoosh on the golf course,

107
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: it feels a lot different because the guy that normalized that.

108
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: And listen, I don't have an outfit and haven't really

109
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: my entire professional career because I worked in a business

110
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: where guys wore basketball shorts and T shirts to work

111
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: on the practice field to the radio and podcast world

112
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: where we can wear anything. But most of you, and

113
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: like my little brother and most people in my life

114
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: that are in more formal settings that either have, you know,

115
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: consistent meetings or going to an office consistently, Tiger Woods

116
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: changed business casual. No one will ever be that, and

117
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: what Tiger Woods did in the late nineties and specifically

118
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: in two thousand might not ever happen again either when

119
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: you factor in on and off the course. But there

120
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: were a lot of stats that have come out since

121
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: Scotty won this tournament a couple hours ago that there

122
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: are some parallels. And here's the thing with Tiger, he

123
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: kind of has two careers, right the Tiger that won

124
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: the Masters in nineteen ninety seven, and by the end

125
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: of two thousand and one they had something that they

126
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: called a Tiger Slam because he won three straight majors

127
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 1: and then going into the next year wins the Masters,

128
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: so he had won four straight majors and by then

129
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: he's just racking them up and it looks like, is

130
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: this guy gonna win one hundred majors? Now obviously it's

131
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: slowed down a little bit, but like that version taking

132
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: on the sport was unlike anything we'd ever seen, and

133
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: that is not Scotty. And there is an element, you know,

134
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: with sk that I think people are looking for. Okay,

135
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: some of these comps, because I thought a year ago,

136
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: everyone's like, let's pump the brakes. He's only got two

137
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: majors and they're both the Masters. Can he win these

138
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: other tournaments? And this year is like, oh yeah, I can.

139
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: You want me to win the PGA, And how about

140
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: I win the Open as well, a tournament that most

141
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: of you thought that I couldn't play at. We all

142
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: know that it's inevitable. I'm gonna win a US Open, Like,

143
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how many majors he's gonna win. Scotty

144
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: Cheffer are gonna win seven? Is he gonna win ten?

145
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: Is he gonna win six? I you know, I don't

146
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: feel comfortable. My guests would be he'd be more likely

147
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: to win eight or nine than he would five. But listen,

148
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: we see this all the time in all sports. Injuries happen,

149
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: variables happen. Other guys figure it out. It's it's not easy,

150
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: even though he's making it look easy. But Tiger Woods

151
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: had multiple careers like the version in the late nineties

152
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: two thousand. He became kind of a different guy in

153
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: about two range And a lot of people on Twitter

154
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: have thrown this out, like Tiger Woods between two and five,

155
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: where he would be considered just in that period of time,

156
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: an all time great player. If that was his career,

157
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: like a Terrell Davis situation, he would be a Hall

158
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: of Famer. He would be a living legend. And when

159
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: you compare it to Scotty from twenty twenty two to

160
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, so like a three year span eighty

161
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: one events, Tiger played seventy nine, it's very similar. Scotty

162
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: has twenty wins for majors, two players. Tiger had eighteen

163
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: wins four majors, no players, and you know, financially, it's

164
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: hard to comp because obviously guys are making way more now.

165
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: But like we are getting a version of Tiger, it's

166
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: not the most transcendent version of Tiger, which was ninety

167
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: nine two thousand and going into two thousand and one,

168
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: where he was just he was a force. I mean,

169
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: it was like combining a great player, a cultural icon,

170
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: a business tycoon and listen. I talked about this with Colin.

171
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: I think the one obviously Scotty had the I don't

172
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: even want to call it a rant. He just gave

173
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: an answer to a question and it went pretty viral,

174
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: and he went on for a long time, and you

175
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: could argue he contradicted himself a little bit, but I

176
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: think his overall message and my biggest takeaway was I

177
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: like to practice, and I like the grind of golf

178
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: when no one is bothering me more than like the

179
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: spotlight and the adulation of holding the trophy and kind

180
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: of being the celebrity. You know who didn't like that

181
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: as well? In a weird way is Tiger, because when

182
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: Tiger gave his Hall of Fame speech, I remember a

183
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: couple of years ago watching it on Golf Channel. The

184
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: thing that kind of went viral of the speech was

185
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: how much he enjoys and he called it being in

186
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: the dirt, being in the mud, grinding his way through it.

187
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: When I think of Tiger Woods, I obviously think of

188
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: a great champion, but I also think of like one

189
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: of the hardest workers the game has ever seen, a

190
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: guy that loved to practice, and before his body started

191
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: betraying him some of that, you know, self inflicted in

192
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: his twenties, before he got married and his life changed,

193
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: was a guy whose practice habits and schedule and workout

194
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: prowess from sun up till sundown is pretty legendary. I'm

195
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: sure many of you have seen the clip where they

196
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: spliced Tiger talking about what he did compared to John

197
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: Day on a practice day. I always thought being around

198
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: like when I got into football and Pat Hill and

199
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: Andy Reid football coaches like going to practice, like the

200
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: grind of getting a practice script, preparing for practice, telling

201
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: the players what they're gonna do at practice, going out

202
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: on the practice field, and then correcting what happened on

203
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: the practice field later that day in a meeting as

204
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: much as they do on Sunday. Obviously, the thrills of

205
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: the high of game day, just like the thrills in

206
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: the high of Scotti Scheffler on a Saturday or Sunday

207
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: in a tournament, are second to none. You don't get

208
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: these feels, but in terms of the love of what

209
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: they do, it really shows through when the cameras are

210
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: not on. And Tiger always had this. He was great

211
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: in both settings. Right could grind when no one was

212
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: paying attention for hours upon hours upon hours to do

213
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: everything humanly possible to get better. And then when the

214
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: lights were on, he could shine brighter than anyone else.

215
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: Now he had a flare for the dramatic. He looked

216
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: like no one else. His name was Tiger. Scotty's not

217
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: really into that. Scotty actually looks like he's forty years old,

218
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: receding hairline. He's kind of got that Roethlisberger feel. It's like, wait,

219
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: this guy's only twenty nine. I thought he was forty

220
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: years old. But he hates all that other stuff. He

221
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: does not like the limelight, the fame. He does not

222
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: want to be a celebrity. That's not what he's in

223
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: this to do. Bryson d. Chambeau enjoys the celebrity element

224
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: that has been created around him, which he has helped create.

225
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: Scotty Scheffler does not. And I think I think part

226
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: of what makes Scotty such like a head scratching great

227
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: player is he's actually kind of boring to watch. And

228
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people have said this historically. If you

229
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: go back and watch a lot of Tiger tournaments, especially

230
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: in his heyday, it wasn't as electric as you believed, right,

231
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: he was actually pretty boring. Especially once he got a lead.

232
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: He would just strangle you. He was not gonna screw up.

233
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: His floor was so much Obviously their ceilings are the highest,

234
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: but also their floors were sneaky, extremely high, because you

235
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: never thought like, yeah, he's gonna double fourteen with a

236
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: two shot lead. Wasn't gonna happen. He'll like, can't hand

237
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: me a five iron old, just hit the fairway. I'll

238
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: make sure I get a par in this whole worst

239
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: case of bogie. And there's an element of Scotty now.

240
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: The difference is and I would say that Tiger Phil

241
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: Speith and Rory the foremost famous guys of the Internet era.

242
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: By far, we're pretty entertaining. And Tiger had this much

243
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: more Thursday, Friday, Saturday, where at any moment he could

244
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: blast it anywhere off the tea. Wasn't that accurate? Same

245
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: thing with Phil now, the technology is so much different.

246
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: Like you watched Tiger before he heard his his leg

247
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: in like twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, he was way more.

248
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: He was way less erratic off the t Why because

249
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: the technology, if you gave peak Tiger Woods the technology

250
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: of the day, he wouldn't have been is chaotic off

251
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: the tee. Right, you watch Scotty over the last couple

252
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: of days, it's not that entertaining because part of Phil

253
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: or Jordan, what made you captivated by watching them is

254
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: you thought, at any moment they could lose the lead.

255
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Rory, what we witnessed as the Masters, We're

256
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: never gonna see anything like that again. Sunday at the Masters.

257
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: Rory McElroy is the craziest fucking golf tournament. Like we

258
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: have seen other guy's meltdown or come back right at

259
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: the last second, but never a guy quite like him.

260
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: Phil had the meltdowns and then he lost. Tiger never

261
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: had the meltdowns. Spieth has had the meltdowns and the comebacks.

262
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: He's had it all. Rory, we never seen anything like that,

263
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: and Scotty doesn't give us anything close to that. So

264
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: we're always like shaking our heads. What are we getting here?

265
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: And what we're getting here right now is a guy

266
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: in the peak of his powers who's clearly on a

267
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: tier above everyone else. I can be I don't want

268
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: to say hyperbolic, but very emotional sometimes after an event,

269
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: like reacting to something. And I did believe when Rory

270
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: won the Masters, when you factored in that he won

271
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: Pebble and he won the Players, I'm like, no one

272
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: is playing better than this guy. And it turns out

273
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: the reason Scotty was not playing that well the injury

274
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: obviously really rattled him. Right. And if you had told

275
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: me that Rory was playing like that and Scotty was

276
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: just playing like he had played last year, I'd be like,

277
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: they're the same. But Scotty was not playing that way.

278
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: Once he figured out his hand, He's fucking dominated. I mean,

279
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: he's lapped the field. So I am comfortable, which I'm

280
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: not prisoner of the moment here. I do think like Bryson.

281
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: He shot seventy eight and then he shot sixteen under

282
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: the next three days. Now, when you're down twenty eight

283
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: to nothing at halftime and then the final score is

284
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: forty to thirty, if I just told you the final

285
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: score was forty to thirty, but got it, bet that

286
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: was a pretty entertaining game. But if I told you

287
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: the halftime score was twenty eight to nothing. One, the

288
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: team with a huge lead usually just lets down their guard.

289
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: And two, the team that is behind by a shitload

290
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: of points can be like, well, we got nothing to lose,

291
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: So there is an element to that, Like two things

292
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: can be true. Bryson is an elite player, and he

293
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: clearly is one of the top three guys. It goes

294
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: Scotty and then the next tier to me is a

295
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: clear two guys. It's Rory and Bryson. But Bryson's week

296
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: and Rory's week, which I'm pretty sure did, they finish

297
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: the same. So they finished one shot difference. Rory finished

298
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: ten under, Bryson finished nine hunder. It was a little different.

299
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I wasn't totally in the mix like the

300
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: last twenty seven holes, because Scotty had such a big lead,

301
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: but he was just like in the tournament, when you

302
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: shood seventy eight, you kind of loosen up and you

303
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: start firing a pins. Now today, like obviously the weather's

304
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: not going Bryson was playing really, really well. But like,

305
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: the one thing that's clear and this is what I'm

306
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: gonna have consistent message going into next year. And when

307
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: the majors come, it's like we got a big three

308
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: and Scotty's clearly on a tier by himself, and then

309
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: it's Rory and Scotty. Now, Xander has his moments. He

310
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: proved a lot last year. The injury obviously slowed down

311
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: a season, but I'm not putting him on the Bryson

312
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: and Rory tier. The Rom thing is a little bit

313
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: head scratching. I had high hopes for Rom coming into

314
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: this tournament. Obviously he had been in the mix at

315
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: the PGA earlier this year. I saw someone commented it

316
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: was like middle cooff, Rob never had a chance to win.

317
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: Scotty finished minus eleven and Rom was minus four at

318
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: the PG eight. It's like, well, yeah, they were both

319
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: minus nine when they were headed to the back nine

320
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and then Rom obviously with the down the

321
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: last four or five holes, and you know Scotty hit

322
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: the accelerator, but like that was a fact, right, there

323
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: was a period of time where you thought, with nine

324
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: holes to go that John Rohm could win it. And

325
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: a guy that's won multiple majors clearly one of the

326
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 1: best players in the world. Like I want to put

327
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: him in that tier, and then you watch weekends like this,

328
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to Now I would put rom right

329
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: under that next tier, like if we were doing like

330
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: quarterback rankings, But I do think that there is a

331
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,479
Speaker 1: gap now sizable, Like I think Rory and Bryson are

332
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: better than everyone else, but like if they're all on.

333
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: And here's the scary thing was with with Scotty, which

334
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: is someone like Tiger, somewhat like Tiger. If Tiger had

335
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: his A game, he was beating everyone. It didn't matter

336
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: if you had your A plus game, you had no

337
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: chance to beat him. If Scotty has his A game,

338
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: he's beating every single person. But what's scary about Scotty

339
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: And this is what Tiger had and Rory has this

340
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: in events when Scotty's either way off or maybe not

341
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: even there. If I played my B game depending that week,

342
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: especially in a major, most people are not gonna be

343
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: quote unquote their A game. Most people are gonna be

344
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: at best like a B plus. I'm beating you. So

345
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: my B game, my B minus game is so much

346
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: better than like ninety five percent of the field. It's

347
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: gonna take a handful of guys Rory Bryson, Xander Ram

348
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: to have their A minus A game to beat me.

349
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: And based on the way golf works, that doesn't usually happen,

350
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: especially at the majors. Look at Bryson. He had his

351
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: A game, A plus game Friday and Sunday, he had

352
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: like his F game on Thursday, and he lost the tournament. Now,

353
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: if it's easy to go, well, if Bryson had shot

354
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: even par on Thursday, Well, if he had, does he

355
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: shoot sixteen hundred the next three days? Does he play

356
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: as loose as he did? Maybe, but probably not. I

357
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: would bet it gin now if you told me Bryson

358
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: shot even par the way the weather broke out, he

359
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: could have been right there. Because Rory had moments where

360
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: you're like, God, he's a pot or two away from

361
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: being a couple shots back. And then, unlike Scotty, Rory's

362
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: superpower and what he does best, It's like, what does

363
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson do best? Well, he's a dynamic athlete, like

364
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: at any moment, he could run, but he's also just

365
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: a threat to pass, like you don't know what's coming.

366
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: But his athleticism is unlike anything we've ever seen, and

367
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: it's made him a legendary Hall of Fame talent. Right,

368
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: Rory's Hall of Fame town is true. Ability is his

369
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: driver when it's on is unstoppable. And every time you

370
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: look up, especially Saturday and Sunday, it's like Rory likes

371
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: to play that power draw and he'd aim on the

372
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 1: right side. What the open there's not just like well,

373
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: if you miss, you're in the rough. You could miss

374
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: and you have a nice lie, or you could be

375
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: in a bush. You could be in an unplayable lie.

376
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: You could be in a place where a guy like

377
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: Justin Rose shanks back to back shots. And I don't

378
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: know how many times, definitely today, but I feel like

379
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: over the course of the last couple of days, Rory

380
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: would try to play that draw and it just wouldn't

381
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: quite draw, and then he would be like in a bush,

382
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: and sometimes he did a miraculous shot out of it

383
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: and he's still birdy, but a lot of times like

384
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: he just ended up with the par And then Scotty

385
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: would come up, where most people in the golfing world

386
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,239
Speaker 1: like who's the best driver of all time? A lot

387
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: of people just say Ry McElroy, say Roy McElroy's advantage

388
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: over Scotty's driving the ball. Scotty would come up and

389
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: his driver, I would say, wasn't like his potent weapon

390
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: this week as putting was dominant, it felt like he

391
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: was just striping fairways. So it's like, Rory, your ability

392
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: to separate from Scotty because his short game is going

393
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: to be better than you and his iron play is

394
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: gonna be better than you. Is you fucking hitting that

395
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty yard drive like Bryson down the pipe?

396
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: And I thought this week, it's like God, it's just

397
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: kind of it was a very hit or miss, And

398
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: it feels like that's been a little bit of the

399
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: case since they yanked the driver from him at the

400
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: PGA Championship when he would refuse to talk to people.

401
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: But pretty crazy week, I mean, really for those three guys.

402
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: Props to Bryson for, you know, battling back. You know,

403
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: I think Rory, it's easy to kind of keep your

404
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: head high after twenty nineteen and Scotty celebrated for five minutes.

405
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: I do think it's kind of relatable. I don't know

406
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: about you, Like I hate birthdays. I hate birthdays. I'm

407
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: not a huge celebration guy. We all have people in

408
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: our life that when a birthday comes, when a promotion comes,

409
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: when anything that you can like tangibly correlate to quote

410
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: unquote a successful moment personally, professionally, let's celebrate. And there

411
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: are those type people that love to celebrate, and there

412
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: are those type people who hate to celebrate. And clearly

413
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: Scotty is like not that into it, and obviously faith

414
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: plays a big part of his life. But I think

415
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: he realized this, you know, Rory, Like Rory wins a tournament,

416
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: it's cool, but it doesn't mean that. Part of the

417
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: reason the Masters meant so much to him was because

418
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: he's been trying to win the thing for a decade

419
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: and what it meant to his career, right, it was

420
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: a huge, huge crowning achievement for his career. Scotty. I

421
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: would imagine the first couple times he won on the

422
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: PGA Tour in twenty twenty two was a big deal.

423
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 1: It's like, God, I finally won the PGA Tour. Then

424
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: he won the Masters, it was a huge deal. And

425
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: then like a year later he's like, I've won my

426
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: four or five times since It's like, yeah, I win,

427
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: and then next week or in two weeks, I just

428
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: play another event. And if I'm not playing the next

429
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: week and I got an event in three weeks, I

430
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: know it might take a couple of days off and

431
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: then I'm just back at the course pittin Drivers, working

432
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: on my short game, playing with the boys, working with

433
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,239
Speaker 1: my coach. It's like the same thing. And when I

434
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: heard his words, it was like, I'm just kind of

435
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: routine oriented. I like my routine more than I do

436
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: the validation of holding the trophy, even though my routine

437
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: is all about getting to that trophy. It's what define

438
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: Nick Saban's career, the process way more than resists. It

439
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: was by the end of his career he could smile

440
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: a little bit on the podium after winning a national championship,

441
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: but you always watched Nick Saban and went I felt

442
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: like he liked February to December more than he liked

443
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: the final result of the playoff game and winning it

444
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 1: or losing it, right, And I was always told this.

445
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: Nick Saban was way better in the locker room after

446
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: a loss than after a win. He was in a

447
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: good mood after a loss because he knew he had

448
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: to be. After win, he was kind of miserable, and

449
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: football coaches often are like that. I always think it's

450
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: so funny on Sunday Night football or Monday Night football.

451
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: Whoever the Green Bay Packers are playing in the Minnesota Vikings,

452
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen on Week one, right, Chargers, Chiefs? Who

453
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: are the Eagles playing Eagles Cowboys? Whatever the games are.

454
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: I gotta get dialed into football here. But whoever wins

455
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: those Week one games, interw Jalen Hurts. They win last

456
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: second field goal and Jake Elliott or Jalen Hurts is

457
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: coming whoever the sideline reporter is, He's like, it was

458
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: a great win, very excited, but you know, we celebrate

459
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: this for twelve twenty four hours and then get right

460
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: to the New York Giants. You know, if the Chargers

461
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs Week one in Brazil, they'll be like,

462
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: awesome win, it was a great offseason, but now we

463
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta say focused for the Denver Broncos. That

464
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: is how they all talk coaches and players, right, And

465
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: I think the best players in golf have always kind

466
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: of been like that. And I think Scotty, I would say,

467
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: defines that as much as anybody. And I think, listen,

468
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 1: he's finished seven of his last ten or seven of

469
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: his last eight majors, he's finished in the top ten.

470
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: Obviously he's won three of those. It's his ceiling, he's

471
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: the highest ceiling. But his floor now is stupid high.

472
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, Tiger won a bunch of majors,

473
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: but he also was right in the mix of a

474
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: lot of them too. You know, Phil is not going

475
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: to come close to the fifteen Tiger hasse he only

476
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: has the six. But I would say one crowning achievement

477
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: for Phil are all like the top twos, threes and

478
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: top fives in majors. Like Phil's floor for two decades

479
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: in his prime from twenty five to forty five, like

480
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: was fucking high. What Rory has become. I would say,

481
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: it's like, what grade would you give Rory this week?

482
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: I'd be like, I don't know, C plus and he

483
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: finished easily T seven. I bet Rory's like, listen, even

484
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: if I wasn't going to win it, because I didn't

485
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: wasn't close to my A game. If I just had

486
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: my B plus game, I'm probably sitting second all by myself.

487
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: So and that's Bryce's the same thing. Their floors now

488
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: are so high. Now, I still believe that if the

489
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: wind and the variables, Scotty can handle that, you know,

490
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: being an international guy growing up in this even if

491
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: there is an element, like there are a lot of

492
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: people that I live around that grew up in Chicago

493
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: or Minnesota that have lived in Arizona for a couple

494
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: of decades that you couldn't just put back in the

495
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: cold and they'd be used to it again. So there

496
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: is separation. Roy has lived in Florida for a while.

497
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: But like Roy's proven he's better in the elements than

498
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: Bryson that if the elements had played a part in

499
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: this tournament, I don't know if Bryson comes storming back,

500
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: even he talked about that on Thursday when he had

501
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: some elements and he kind of fell apart. He just

502
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: his science experiment doesn't quite work. But if the Weather's

503
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty solid. He is. He's a fucking potent factor.

504
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: You know, the Ryder Cup is a huge conversation. I

505
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: think Europe is dramatically better than us. I mean, if

506
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: we could just clone Scotty in Bryce and even Xander,

507
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: but we can't. Like Chris got her up, Like I'd

508
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: probably just put him on the team, Like why not.

509
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: There's a good old boys club. You're just on scholarship forever.

510
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: Right It's like Colin Morikawa is gonna be on the team.

511
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: He is not good right now, and he fires a

512
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: caddy like every other week. I was texting a buddy

513
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: this week. You know, in basketball, I understand, like you're

514
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: not gonna fire the players, you fire the coach. In football,

515
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: sometimes it's like, yeah, Bobby Slowick's is not a very

516
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: good offensive coordinator. He's calling the plays. You know, whether

517
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: it's not all his fault, whether it's the personnel guy's fault.

518
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: When you're calling the plays and they don't work, like

519
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: we can tangibly connect you to the result, A caddie's

520
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: not telling you where to put your wrists, where to

521
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: put your hips, what swing tips with putting or chipping,

522
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: or where to aim really in terms of like your

523
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: body alignment. That's what a golf coach does. Obviously, they

524
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: know your yardages and can the longer there with you

525
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: can give you help. But Colin Markowa constantly blaming caddies

526
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: for his failures is pretty embarrassing, and it wasn't until

527
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: this new generation of player. For the most part, obviously,

528
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: caddies have been fired before. Think about Tiger Woods from

529
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: the moment he hired Stevie till he had to fire

530
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: him because of his transgressions off the field. He went

531
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: through some ups and downs, like he had some rough

532
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: patches in the middle of the two thousands, but he

533
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: didn't fire Stevie Williams. Phil Mickelson had incredibly low lows

534
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: and did not fire bones and did not win a

535
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: major till his mid thirties. There is not a chance

536
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: in God's green earth that the equivalent of Phil in

537
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: his late twenties early thirties, before he had won a major,

538
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: being a great player known as the second best or

539
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: third best player in the PGA Tour would not fire

540
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: bones in twenty twenty five. These guys constantly running through

541
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: caddies like they are the problem is kind of a joke,

542
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: and I get it. You gotta blame someone. And this

543
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: is a couple of people pointed out to me, a

544
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: couple buddies of mine that this generation, like if you're

545
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: an older caddy and I'm with the player like Marco

546
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, at first, like any working relationship,

547
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm pretty careful of what I'm gonna say, what I'm

548
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: not gonna say. After a while, we're human beings. I

549
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: become comfortable with you, right, I can just say, like

550
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: Colin or whoever, I'm just using him as example, knock

551
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: it off, bro, Like, no, that's a dumb idea. Look

552
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: at Jordan's speed. A lot of credit for Jordan Speed,

553
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: who has some high highs, had a lot of lo

554
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: los has not kicked his caddy to the curb. You

555
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: know why because the reason that Jordan speech just pumped

556
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: it out of bounds on seven in a tournament has

557
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Michael Greller. Now I watch Colin Morrikowe,

558
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: who missed the last two cuts, who just playing like

559
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: absolute shit. It feels like he's throwing a pity party

560
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: for himself. It's like, bro, stop blaming the case, start

561
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: blaming yourself, Start taking some accountability. You know, I think

562
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: that's one good thing any athlete will do. And in

563
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: football you don't have a choice because you have to

564
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: take accountability because your coaches are always fortunate to do.

565
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: In golf, it's like you can blame every It is

566
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,719
Speaker 1: my swing coach, it's the guy fucking helping me out putting,

567
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: it's my manager, it's my cat. No, it's you. You're

568
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: hitting the shots right now. I have the chipping yips.

569
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: I shot eighty yesterday. I had three double bogies in

570
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: five holes because I sculled multiple chips. If I was

571
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: just a normal chipper, just get around the green, maybe

572
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: make one par a couple of bogies, I would have

573
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: shot seventy six. The only reason I stuck at chipping

574
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: is myself. It's on me. If I had a caddy

575
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: out there, if the guys I'm playing would try to

576
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: give me tip, it's none of their fault. It's my

577
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: own fault. Maybe a little bit of My brother gave

578
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: me a tip like a couple of weeks ago, and

579
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: I've tried to institute and it's not working. But like

580
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: I just think Mori cow is whole deal, and all

581
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: these players like I get it sometimes, you know, I

582
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: think Max and his old caddy, who's his best friend

583
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: growing up. Sometimes it's like, hey, maybe we just need

584
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: a change and listen, that's welcome to life. But I

585
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: feel some of this, like cal more Cow is gonna

586
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: be going on like four or five caddies. You watch

587
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: over the course of a couple of years, It's like, bro,

588
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: what are we doing? And then you got a guy

589
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: like Patrick Cantlay, who aman's a Ryder Cup like stalwarts,

590
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: Guys that are in concrete sharpie, that are gonna be

591
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: on the team, not just this year, but for the

592
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: foreseeable future. Probably they got Patrick can't Lay missed three straight,

593
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: three straight major cuts. I think it was t thirty

594
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: four at the Masters, and he didn't make another major cut.

595
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: How does that happen? Like this is this is a sport.

596
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about getting in the top ten. I'm

597
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: not talking about you know, top fives. I'm just you

598
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: don't make the cut. You can't make the cut in

599
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: these majors. Now, you can explain to me that Ryder

600
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: Cup is a lot different, and it is. I do

601
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: have faith that like can't Lay in the Ryder Cup

602
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: situation and Exaners his buddy. That's just like, that's a rough,

603
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: pretty terrible season. I mean it really when guys like

604
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: Justin Rose over the last couple of years are running

605
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: circles around you. I mean Justin Rose a great example.

606
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: What did he finish T sixteen over the weekend sixty

607
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: eight sixty nine. I just I don't know, man, I

608
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: really don't. I saw that Kiz kind of went viral

609
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: on my Instagram that the locker room because he was

610
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: talking about Wyndham Clark and how Wyndham just basically kind

611
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: of needs to apologize. But pictures in the locker room

612
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: are sacred to kind of the players, and it's kind

613
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: of embarrassing that that got out. I would agree if

614
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: it's a baseball locker room, a basketball locker room, an

615
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: NFL locker room. Like if I'm a basketball player my

616
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: eighty one home games that I'm playing, it like that's

617
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: my locker room, right, that's my team's locker room. This

618
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: is where state baseball, football whatever, Right, we go in

619
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: here every day. In golf, you're kind of a traveling circus.

620
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: So not only is the Oakmont locker room not your

621
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: locker room, it's literally their membership's locker room, like it

622
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: is literally a group of people's lockers right, who are

623
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: letting you borrow it because they're hosting the tournament there.

624
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: Not only is it not your sacred place, it's literally

625
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: not your locker room, just like most of these guys.

626
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 1: Wyndham Clark's a good example. I think he's a member

627
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: here at Whisper Rock probably remember multiple places wherever his

628
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: locker is at his clubs, that's literally his locker in

629
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 1: his locker room. And if someone you know, publicized something

630
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: that happened in his quote unquote locker room, I would say,

631
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: one that is that that is that's that's bush league.

632
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: That's not above board, that's BS right. But whoever posted

633
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: that picture, potentially a member, maybe another player, is like,

634
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: what the fuck are we doing? This is in garrison,

635
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: It really is, because it's not the player's locker room.

636
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: This is not you're not on the Lakers and someone

637
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: posted something from the Lakers locker room and Lebron or

638
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: Luca's piss. It's like, why are we posting anything from

639
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: our own locker room. That's their fucking locker room. That

640
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: is not the case in golf, especially at these majors

641
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: traveling venues. And I my guess is you know Tron

642
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: Carter of No Laying Up, who I'm a huge fan of,

643
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: who posted it, probably got that picture from multiple people

644
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: because they're like this, this is not acceptable. We want

645
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: this out there, because if you're a member, it's like,

646
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: you're probably not gonna post it, but you one hundred

647
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: percent use the media. Get this out of here. This

648
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: is our locker room. And if I've been a member

649
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: there for twenty thirty years at one of the most

650
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 1: historic courses in America and you got this guy beaten

651
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: down the locker room, it'd be one thing too. If

652
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: it was like Tiger Phil some all time great. It's like, no, bro,

653
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: this is not gonna fly. This is not okay. It's

654
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: not acceptable. It really isn't. And then the next week

655
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: he goes trying to move on. I'm ready to move on,

656
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: you know. I take that. You know now, I also

657
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: think it was kind of stupid. Part of the story

658
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: was Oakmont wants Wyndham Clark to go to Anger Management.

659
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 1: Like if I was Wyndam Clark, I'd say kiss my ass.

660
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: But I also don't think that any of the players

661
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: can support him going this shouldn't get out, like, no,

662
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: this isn't yours. Right if I rent an Airbnb, or

663
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: I go into someone else's home or someone else's warehouse

664
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: or someone else's business and fuck it up, even if

665
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm doing business there for a period of time or

666
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: pay you for your services, it's not mine. So I

667
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: can't be mad when that gets out. And that's you know,

668
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: I think what happened here, So anyone trying to defend

669
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: those actions, which is crazy because or sad Win him

670
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: at a pretty good week I mean, he went nuts

671
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: on the weekend. He kind of pulled a Bryson shot

672
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: seventy six the next three days sixty six, sixty six,

673
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: sixty five. Him and Bryson are good examples. Now Bryson's

674
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: a better player than Wyndham. But that course, if you

675
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: could vombit and control yourself off the tee when the

676
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: weather was pretty benign, you could dominate it. You really could.

677
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 1: And I think if you remove Scotty and I wrote

678
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:18,439
Speaker 1: this down, I respect how difficult. Oakmont is right because

679
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: anytime you see these guys struggling to get pars, not

680
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: just on one individual whole, I'm talking about shooting par

681
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: a lot of respect. It's clear what these guys do

682
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: to tournaments, but like and I get it, it only happens

683
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: once every six or seven years. I do think this

684
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: week and the rest of the Majors were a little

685
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: more enjoyable, Like I don't need thirty under, And really,

686
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: if you remove Scotty, the winning score would have been

687
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: thirteen under. If you would have got weather, rain, way

688
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: more wind, that number could easily be like six or

689
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: seven under, I would imagine. But I enjoyed this, and

690
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,919
Speaker 1: I know with no weather, you go across the pond

691
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: like these guys are gonna just destroy you. It's they

692
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: would do that to most courses. The Oakebon is a

693
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 1: complete outlier. But I'll always enjoy the Masters the most.

694
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: Most people will. It's the most popular golf tournament of

695
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: the year. But I really enjoyed that, and I've enjoyed

696
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, even watching got her Up win

697
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: last week. It is fun to watch guys playing in

698
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: environments that don't look like what we're used to seeing.

699
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: That was brought to you by five Hour Energy Transfusion Flavor.

700
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: Can't wait to drink one of these Your golf bag

701
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: secret to turning eighteen holes into thirty six. Stock up

702
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: for your next round at five hour Energy dot Com. Okay,

703
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: let's bang out some questions here at Golopod, at golopod Instagram,

704
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: fire into those dms. We actually got a hunch. There's

705
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: a lot of debate over the last few days on

706
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: where Scotty ranks is an all time golfer. I've seen

707
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: a decent amount of pushback from people saying he's not

708
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: a top twenty player yet, how guys like Phil Brooks,

709
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: DJ Rory and Speeth are better. I think he has

710
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: a bit to catch up to Phil, but to me,

711
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: he's clearly better than all those guys. Where would you

712
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: rank him all time? Well, I think when you're talking

713
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: all time golfers, this is it's you'd have to get

714
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: like Brandal Shambley to break down the Ben Hogan's, the

715
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: Kerry Middlecoffs. Even you know, I never watched Arnold Palmer,

716
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: Jack Nicholas play golf. Obviously, those guys are you know,

717
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 1: on the Mount Rushmore and just cemented into the top

718
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: tennish twenty ish conversation. Some of the you know, Johnny

719
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: Miller's Lee Trevino, right, But when you talk about in

720
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: my lifetime, and I would say post like Greg Norman,

721
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: Nick Faldough and most what can Nick Faldo probably top

722
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five player. Greg Norman's one of the all

723
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: time great talents, but left a little something to be desired.

724
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: You know, he's a polarizing player. But I would say

725
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,720
Speaker 1: of the Internet era, the Tiger and Phil era, Tiger

726
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: is clearly the best player. And then I think you

727
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: get into this world of like Phil and Rory. I

728
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: mean what Rory's doing now in his mid thirties, still

729
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: playing at a really high level. One three times this

730
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 1: year just you know, finished second last week, top ten

731
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: this week. He's been incredible in majors the last several years.

732
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: To me as separated, I mean, Speets has kind of

733
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: been a non factor now for a while. DJ only

734
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: won two majors even though he won a golf tournament

735
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: I think for ten straight years. And I'm pretty sure

736
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: does he have twenty five wins? He has a lot

737
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: of wins. But Dustin Johnson also is now forty one

738
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: years old, and how many PGA wins does he have?

739
00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: He has twenty four. So I would put Scotty Scheffler

740
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: above DJ above Jordan Speith. I would put him. I mean,

741
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: part of Rory is like his greatness has been for

742
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: a long long time, so it's I would still have

743
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: Rory slightly above him, though he's getting closer and closer.

744
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: So to me, Tiger easy one feel easy to I

745
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: would put Rory, who's got Scotty chasing him, And I

746
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 1: would put Scotty above Brooks. You know, Brooks won five majors.

747
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: He basically won four in a couple of year span,

748
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: but he did not win very often on the PGA Tour.

749
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: You know his major to PGA Tour victory ratio. You know,

750
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: Scotty is winning majors, but he's also winning like the

751
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: RBC Heritage, the waste management, the memorial. Think about this.

752
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 1: Brooks has five major victories and he has nine PGA

753
00:41:55,400 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: Tour victories. So more than half of Brooks's victories are majors.

754
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's one of the craziest stats for

755
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: a guy with over I would say five victories. If

756
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 1: over half your stats are half your wins are majors,

757
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's unheard of. For example, Scotty has

758
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 1: four majors, but he has seventeen wins, so basically a

759
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: quarter of his wins are majors. And even if he

760
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: gets seven or eight majors, I bet he wins. And

761
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: assuming he's gonna keep playing, let's say he wins, I

762
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: don't know, thirty two times twenty five percent will be

763
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: pretty high. You know, Tiger's eighty plus wins and fifteen majors, right,

764
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: so he's what he's like, what's that fifteen percent? I'd

765
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: have him four right now? How quickly do you think

766
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: Scotty wins a US Open? Definitely feels like he would

767
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: be very soon with the heateror he's on, which would

768
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: be insane for him to come and Pete complete the

769
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,439
Speaker 1: Grand Slam already, And then the question is how many

770
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 1: majors can he win? I do think about Spieth and Koepka,

771
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: and we all thought Jordan would get the Slam that

772
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: quick and rattle off a ton of majors. I thought

773
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: Brooks would too, But doesn't seem like that anymore. You

774
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: think Scotty could fall the same boat as them. It's

775
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: always the risk. It's why when the guy just asked

776
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: me about the ranking, Rory won majors like fifteen years ago,

777
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: and then he won another major this year. I think

778
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: he just literally went through one of the longest stretches

779
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: in like golf history. Right, there's a short list of

780
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: guys that go a decade plus. Tiger's a good example

781
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 1: from OA to nineteen. I think Jack did it too

782
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: in the early seventies to whatever was eighty six. It's

783
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: pretty hard to go that, you know. Fill's a good

784
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: example of a guy that goes a long period of

785
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: time without It's not easy to do. Most people, a

786
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: lot of good players, if you look at like their wiki,

787
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 1: rattle off their three, four or five majors in a

788
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 1: short period of time, and I think it's easy in

789
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: the heat of the moment. The difference is like, I

790
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: don't know what happened to Jordan. I think Jordan and

791
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: a lot of people would say he had one of

792
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 1: the greatest putting runs of all time. He literally made

793
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: putts from everywhere, and now he's just became a normal putter.

794
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: He's never been like the longest guy. He actually drives

795
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: the ball a lot better now than he used to.

796
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,760
Speaker 1: So I'd be stunned if Scotty doesn't win multiple US Opens.

797
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: When you think about Scotty Scheffer. You go, that's a

798
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: US Open player. Like to me, his game like brooks

799
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: Kopka his Honestly, brooks Keopka's major game pretty boring, is

800
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: a lot like Scotti Scheffer's major game. They don't fuck

801
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 1: up a lot, and whenever they need a big shot

802
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: they can, you know, kind of dig deep down to

803
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: get it. But it's not like super entertaining like Philler Speed.

804
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: I know you've addressed this before, but I'm watching the

805
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,760
Speaker 1: Open and it's so frustrating that not of the shot tracer.

806
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: I hate how NBC produces a golf tournament. They should

807
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: be ashamed and embarrassed. Yeah, I don't know, man, I

808
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:00,959
Speaker 1: don't even know what to say at this point in time,

809
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: but I'm with you. It felt like a decent amount

810
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: of times that a guy would hit a shot, especially

811
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: like off the tea. It's like, you should not have

812
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: an event in twenty twenty five like chips and putts. Okay,

813
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for, you know, coloring, but there should

814
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: not be a shot from the fairway, and definitely a

815
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 1: shot from the t where I don't get a shot tracer.

816
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: Unacceptable can't happen, and I understand there is some technical

817
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: error potential for the little ball. Maybe you miss it,

818
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: but I don't know what the percentage was, but it

819
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: was not even close to one hundred percent, So their coverage.

820
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: I think sometimes in life, when you're lost, right in

821
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: any industry, you start listen, you got it. Sometimes your

822
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: backs against the wall, you got to create some ideas.

823
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: I think sometimes the best advice is just let's simplify everything.

824
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: Let's not because I think it's easy to overcomplicate things,

825
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: and I think sometimes simplicity works. Right when you're watching

826
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 1: a football game bucking Aikman, two guys. Hell, when you're

827
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 1: watching CBS called golf tournament, it's immlement and jim nance

828
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 1: right in the big moments. I don't need much going

829
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: on here. And I like Kevin Kissner a lot, but

830
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 1: they got him faxing. I mean last year they had Shambley.

831
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 1: They got so many people involved. It's like, guys, we

832
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: need to take a deep breath and relax a little

833
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: bit here. It's not I've always been a proponent, and

834
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: maybe it's just because I'm biased, Like, you don't need

835
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: the super famous guy. I remember Fox got the US

836
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: Open in twenty fifteen. I thought they did a. You know,

837
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 1: Joe Buck took a lot of shit. I thought Joe

838
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: Buck was fine. I thought it was Shane Bacon and

839
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: Joe Clatt. I thought it was I thought it was cool.

840
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: But they hired Greg Norman. They hired Greg Norman to

841
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: be you know, the Trevor Limberman or the analyst and

842
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:08,720
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson on Whole eighteen to win the US Open.

843
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: I reme remember, he blows it way by his eagle

844
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: putt and he has his birdie putt to force a playoff,

845
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: and Greg Norman just goes silent. It's like it's like

846
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: Greg Norman choked again. And I understand it's not. Sometimes

847
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: you just hiring a famous person. And so many TV executives,

848
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: just like historically radio executives, think fame matters. We see

849
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: on the podcast business like the Kardashians, the Obamas. It's like, guys,

850
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: no one's listening to these shows. I mean, this is

851
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: not just because you have a famous name. Doesn't people

852
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: gonna you don't. It's about talent, not just a name brand.

853
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: Megan Markle, It's like, fuck, you gave her twenty million

854
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: dollars to do three shows that nobody listened to. A

855
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: great business move. I could have told you that thing

856
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: was gonna fail. Give me someone talented. People will listen

857
00:47:56,120 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: promote them. And I just think sometimes in works that

858
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on, the broadcast is bad.

859
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: It just doesn't They're just lost. And I think Bones

860
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: is elite. You'd be better off with just Dan Hicks

861
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,760
Speaker 1: and Bones calling the golf. A guy I was playing

862
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: with once told me to never hit a straight shot

863
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: and that it's nearly impossible to do it time after time.

864
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: Instead to always play a fade or a draw. This

865
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: has helped me be more consistent. But do you think

866
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:30,760
Speaker 1: that's true. I think Jack Nicholas's famous kind of motto

867
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: and golf is and this is at for the highest level,

868
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: but like if you're a fader or drawer, too often

869
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: in tournaments, when the shot calls from the opposite a

870
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: guy will try to play the shot that he's not

871
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 1: comfortable with. It's like if you play cut on every shot,

872
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:48,919
Speaker 1: worst case scenario, can't get close to the pen, played

873
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: to the middle of the green, and I'm for my game.

874
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: I just play a cut every once in a while.

875
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: I did it yesterday kind of for fun because the

876
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: wind was pumping. I played a draw off the tee

877
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: and it's really hard for me. I just cocked my shoulders,

878
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: cocked my feet and aimed the club down the middle

879
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: and it kind of worked, and it was a bomb.

880
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,320
Speaker 1: I mean it went like three hundred and twenty yards.

881
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: But it's not something that I can rely on. It's

882
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: not a shot shape swing kind of feel that I like.

883
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm a cut guy, and sometimes I get bored with

884
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: that and I try and I always do worse, and

885
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: I just try to play. When I play my best golf,

886
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: I have one shot shape and I'm a three four handicap.

887
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: But I think when you look at the tour, most

888
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: guys Scottie Scheffler is a cut guy. He plays a fade. Now.

889
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: He's so great when he has to, he can draw

890
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 1: the ball. But you know him wrong, Rory forever, draw, draw,

891
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: draw now, He's I think to be a great player,

892
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: you gotta have the cut. So he's kind of instituted that.

893
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: But I think the best player's historic Lee Trevino only

894
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 1: played a cut. It's only the only shot he get hit.

895
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: So actually why he never played grade at the Masters,

896
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: Because you kind of have to to draw the right

897
00:49:55,600 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: handed player, But I do think I can't hit a

898
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,959
Speaker 1: straight shot. I mean, sometimes obviously go straight. I don't

899
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: mean it to, but I don't even know how. You know,

900
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 1: I would love to hit a straight shot. But I

901
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: do agree with the guy some people just with technology.

902
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: Whatever your shot is like your natural shot. Just obviously

903
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,760
Speaker 1: some days are different than others. But over the course

904
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: of your years playing golf, you're gonna have a tendency

905
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: one way or the other. Just play that shot that

906
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: will give you the best chance to be good, because

907
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: let's face it, the way to be good is hit

908
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 1: fairways and greens. Whether you're a ten handicap or scratch golfer.

909
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 1: If I tell you're in the fairway more often than not,

910
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: that you're you know, if you're in the fairway way

911
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: more than you're in the trees, and you're on the

912
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: green way more than you're in the bunker, you're just

913
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: gonna shoot better and take your buddy's money. I mean,

914
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: that's just a fact. I'm curious your thoughts on Horvat

915
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: not being allowed to film at the Barracuda. The consensus

916
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: online seems to be that the tour messed up. If

917
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: this is one Tours the decision that I would probably agree. However,

918
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: I would assume that the tour can't let Grant film

919
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: due to their contracts with the other media. I don't

920
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: think this is that complicated. They invited Grant to play

921
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 1: because this was a tournament that one is overshadowed by

922
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,720
Speaker 1: a major and two has little to no star power

923
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 1: in the field. So typically I looked at the leaderboard

924
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 1: yesterday a lot of names that casual golf fans, I'm

925
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: talking golf fans are not gonna recognize and just are

926
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: not gonna watch. Last night, I had a few cocktails

927
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 1: after we played and it was on in the background.

928
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: It's a cool looking course. I've played it before, Old

929
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: Greenwood and Trucky. But this is not a normal PGA

930
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: Tour event. I mean, it's technically an opposite field event,

931
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: but this is not some breadwinner for the business of

932
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 1: the tour. So they invited Horvat. Now Horvat is not

933
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,919
Speaker 1: aspiring to play in the PGA Tour, not his end goal.

934
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: He's in the business of shooting YouTube videos or he

935
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: controls the content, he controls the advertisers, he controls the business,

936
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: and he partners with Phil and other PGA tour pros

937
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: to play. His business model is completely different from the

938
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: PGA Tour's business model, just like my business model is

939
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: different from radio's business model. Like we all have different

940
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: business models. But if I don't aspire to do something

941
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: and someone asked me where other people think, it's gonna

942
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: be really cool, And even if I thought it'd be

943
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: kind of cool too, if I have other stuff going

944
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: on and you won't play by my rules, it's easy

945
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: for me to say no, even if I know like

946
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna say no. I just want to hear

947
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: them say no. Grant because he's such good buddies with

948
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 1: Wesley Bryan, who's also a YouTuber but a PGA Tour player.

949
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: A guy who's one on the tour understands both sides.

950
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: He knows what works on YouTube, and he has a

951
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 1: very good understanding. Hell, he's technically suspended right now of

952
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: the way they preat in terms of their regulations. So

953
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,479
Speaker 1: I don't think Grant ever thought he was gonna play

954
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: in this event because he knew with his ask they

955
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:14,399
Speaker 1: were going to say no. He one hundred. Maybe there

956
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: was a slight chance, hey, maybe they would break the

957
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 1: rules for us they were never gonna allow him film because,

958
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: like you said, they are in business with CBS, NBC

959
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: and you signed these contracts. No different. I use this

960
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,240
Speaker 1: example like an NFL player. Some of these NFL guys

961
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: or NBA guys started YouTube channels right of them, just

962
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: traveling doing different stuff. They could not bring their YouTube

963
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: guy during the game and have him film in the

964
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: front row of them playing and post it one It

965
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: would get flag copyright infringement and the NBA would tell

966
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: that guy like, you're not allowed to do this. So

967
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: it's just I think it became way more emotional because

968
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought, like, how could he turn

969
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: this down? Yeah, I mean it would be cool. Like

970
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: if they invited me, which I would have no chance

971
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: to finish anything but dead last in a tournament, would

972
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: it benefit me to do it? Maybe it'd be a

973
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: cool experience. But if I told you, well, hell, they're

974
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: not gonna show you on TV, Like would they show

975
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: Grant on TV a lot? In theory they might, But

976
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: what if they didn't. I don't know. I just don't

977
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: think it's that big a deal. Playing at the Phoenician

978
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:45,280
Speaker 1: for my future brother in law's bachelor party. My question

979
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,240
Speaker 1: is this Have you ever played it? And what makes

980
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: golf different in Arizona Coming from Texas. I just think

981
00:54:55,280 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 1: what makes desert golf different than any golf traditional golf

982
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 1: is you just run into the desert, so there's grass

983
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: and then it just abruptly ends. Like where I grew

984
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 1: up playing in Davis, Sacramento, the Bay Area, just northern California,

985
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: there's just a large property that's basically all covered in

986
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: grass and the overwhelming golf in the area that I

987
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: grew up playing. And I would just say in California

988
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 1: in general would not be considered a quote unquote target golf,

989
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: and I would say a huge element to Arizona golf

990
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:43,240
Speaker 1: is like specific target related because if you miss, especially

991
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: at certain courses, you're done, like you're just your ball's

992
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: just gone. And there's an element like being in Tahoe

993
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 1: with mountain golf, right it's lined by the trees, and

994
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: if you go in the trees, you're basically done and

995
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose the ball. Arizona has that element. So

996
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: like when I watch some of your guys tournaments in Texas,

997
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 1: I've never played golf in Texas. It reminds me a

998
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 1: little bit of old school golf in California where you

999
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: missed the fairway. It sucks like you're in the trees.

1000
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: You have to hit hooks and cuts, but your ball

1001
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 1: you're not gonna take a lot of not like unplayables.

1002
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: Maybe there's out of bounds, but you're not in a bush.

1003
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: And that's I think a big part overall theme in

1004
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: Arizona golf. It's very target related now, Phoenician, I haven't

1005
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: played in a couple of years. A little more open,

1006
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:35,240
Speaker 1: but there's definitely some places where you're just you're just done.

1007
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: Loved your Spy Tech interview. Appreciate that. Anyway, here's my

1008
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,479
Speaker 1: golf question. You see value in taking lessons. I've taken

1009
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: a handful of lessons in my life and never really

1010
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: saw the value. I learned ninety nine percent through YouTube.

1011
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what your stance is on YouTube versus professional instruction.

1012
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: I would say the main difference is when I take

1013
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: a lesson from from Jim. Let's say Jim gives me

1014
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 1: a lesson something. Say I got the chipping yips. Hey Jim,

1015
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 1: can you help me with chipping? We spend an hour,

1016
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 1: maybe we go out to a whole we chip fifty yards,

1017
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: thirty yards, bunker shots, and he's like, I think you

1018
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: should work on these three things. Put the ball farther

1019
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: back in your stance, stand more upright, change your grip

1020
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: whatever they are. Like, he gives you specific things to

1021
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 1: work on, and maybe one of those three things are wrong,

1022
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:31,959
Speaker 1: but the other two things can really help you out.

1023
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: And just one specific thought to help you. I'm like you,

1024
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: I watch a lot of YouTube instruction, no different Instagram instruction.

1025
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: If I go to that and I go, I typed

1026
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: this in last night chipping, uh chipping videos right, chipping lessons. Well,

1027
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: everyone's different. So he's giving a lesson on YouTube to

1028
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: Will to James, to Julie. Well, her issues might not

1029
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: be my issues. So I might be able to find

1030
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: something that can help me on YouTube or Instagram, right,

1031
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: whether it's rock O Media or Padrick Harrington given tips.

1032
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: But maybe that tip doesn't relate to me. So I

1033
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: start looking at that tip and start using that tip,

1034
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: and then it fucks me up even more. Now sometimes

1035
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: it helps, So it's just it's it's risky. Now. Not

1036
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: every instructor is the same. Some are clearly better than others.

1037
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 1: But I think it's easier to go down a rabbit

1038
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: hole in online and confuse yourself more. Now if it's

1039
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: one specific thing, you know, when I was I was like,

1040
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: I think my grips, I think I got two bigger grips,

1041
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: And I youtubed it and I watched a couple of

1042
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: people like, so I just got different grips. I got

1043
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: thinner grips. It's easier for me to grip my club,

1044
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: and I've played a lot better since. I do think

1045
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: it made a big difference. But I think if I

1046
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 1: just like my chipping yips. I watched like ten videos

1047
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 1: now transfusions and a couple of course lights, but I

1048
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: just I don't think it helped me, and I still

1049
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: feel lost. Have you ever played Orange Tree in Scottsdale?

1050
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: I have not. On a separate note, being from Iowa,

1051
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: do you have any idea how different courses in Arizona play.

1052
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: Does the ball carry as far? Are the greens fast slow?

1053
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: The ball carries farther in Arizona especially, I mean in

1054
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 1: the winter, if it gets a little chili, obviously it

1055
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: doesn't fly as far. But in the summer it definitely

1056
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: flies a little farther than Arizona I mean, think about

1057
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: spring training, Guys hit home runs obviously, just you know,

1058
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: it varies course to course in terms of green speeds.

1059
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 1: One thing that happens in Arizona, and it happens in Vegas.

1060
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: It just happens in place with extreme heat. It does

1061
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: not happen in California, is they have to change out

1062
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 1: the grass. Right, Like most courses air raate a green

1063
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: during during the year. So there's gonna be a point

1064
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: in time in the year where they basically air rate

1065
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: the green. Right for those of you know, plug the

1066
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: holes or poke the holes and just you can play it.

1067
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: But it's like a joke. It should be automatic two putts.

1068
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 1: In Arizona, they shut down courses for a month in

1069
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: the summer and they basically change out the grass, and

1070
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 1: then they do it again for a couple of weeks

1071
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: typically in the winter. So most courses, I would say

1072
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: all courses public and private, are shut down between thirty

1073
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: five and forty five days during the season, like TPC

1074
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: right now is shut down in Arizona, just like I

1075
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: think a lot of the country clubs are typically shut

1076
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: down in July because they go, well, it's gonna be

1077
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten degrees, so people are gonna play.

1078
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 1: This is when we change it. So right now, most

1079
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 1: of the greens throughout Arizona are really really slow because

1080
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 1: they've all been air rated over the course of the

1081
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: last three weeks. As someone who just who wasn't quite

1082
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 1: old enough to grasp Tiger's domination in his prime, how

1083
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: close is Scotty getting to Tiger level? Yeah, I mean,

1084
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: I I think it's hard to compare. I do think

1085
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: Tiger just like I think like the older version of Phil,

1086
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: like thirty five to forty, just like I think you

1087
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: know Rory when he's on You know Ernie Els, there's

1088
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: a small group of guys who can just play with you, right,

1089
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: like Michael probably gonna win, but like Pete Michael versus

1090
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, a great Lebron team or a great Curry

1091
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 1: team or a great Tim Duncan team, like they can

1092
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 1: play with you, right. And that's where I think in golf,

1093
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: Like I would give advantage to Tiger in a big

1094
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: tournament up against anyone I watched. But if you told

1095
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 1: me that, like we're playing Augusta tomorrow and Phil has

1096
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: his A game, Rory has his a game. Speath in

1097
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: his prime has game, Kopka has his A game, Ernie

1098
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,439
Speaker 1: Els has his a. Ernie's bad example, he didn't play

1099
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: well with the Masters, but those guys could play go

1100
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 1: toe to toe. But over all the body of work, yeah,

1101
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think you can really compare them.

1102
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 1: Nine of the top fifteen at the Open or American.

1103
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 1: Nine of the top fifteen at the US Open are

1104
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: also American. Twelve of the top twenty at the Masters.

1105
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 1: Any long shots or guys from the og Ryder Cups

1106
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: you can see squeaking in if they finished the season

1107
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: outside of the top twelve. I do think that Wyndham Clark,

1108
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, part of the Ryder Cup this year at

1109
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 1: beth Page. It's really long, you know, some of those

1110
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 1: courses on the in the northeast wing foot beth Page.

1111
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 1: It's like kind of for a bomber, right, So obviously

1112
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 1: the first couple guys you think of, like Rory Bryson.

1113
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 1: But to build for Keegan, to build the team, you know,

1114
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: Harris English is gonna be on the team. I do

1115
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 1: think Wyndham Clark is a guy that if he plays

1116
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 1: well down the stretch, again, assuming the team likes him

1117
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: like he just he fucking bombs it. So I think

1118
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 1: we're in trouble. I really do, because they got the

1119
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: mix on the on the European team of legendary players,

1120
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 1: right Rory rom Got guys are just elite players and

1121
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: just comfortable in the Ryder Cup with like a veteran

1122
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 1: guy like Justin Rose Younger, kind of ascending stars like Hovelin,

1123
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: Ludwig Hadden Lowry who's just a solid like tenth eleven,

1124
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: twelfth guy, these Hoyguard twins. When I was at the

1125
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 1: Waste Management earlier this year, we watched a couple of

1126
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: groups t off on one. I think Hoyguard was in

1127
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 1: space group. One of them it was Rasmus Could. It

1128
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: was one of the two of them, and they actually

1129
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:57,919
Speaker 1: both one of them finished like twelfth that the waiste

1130
01:03:57,920 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 1: manager to the other was like twentieth. They both played

1131
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: all that week. I remember looking at him, I mean,

1132
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 1: they're identical twins and thinking, this guy's fucking big. It's

1133
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 1: like six to two. It looks like two ten guys

1134
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 1: look like blue chip golfers, like just big, well built,

1135
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 1: like our team. It's like Harris English, Russell Henley. I mean,

1136
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 1: I like the the top of our group. The Bryson's,

1137
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: the Scotties, the Xanders. But after that, like Morikawa and

1138
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 1: can't they give me got her Up? I think got

1139
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: Her Up is now firmly in the mix. And I

1140
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 1: mean I still got a couple of weeks left of

1141
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 1: the season to kind of make a run here. But

1142
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: with how far he hits, he had a couple drives today,

1143
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 1: I give him a lot of credit. Clearly he's comfortable

1144
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: on European soil. He hit one. He hits like this

1145
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 1: low cut and even off the when he hit it,

1146
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 1: he kind of like, oh man, it flew this bunker.

1147
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 1: It had to go like three hundred and seventy yards.

1148
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 1: It's like this guy's got He just looks kind of

1149
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 1: like a chubby or Kopka, just looks like a guy

1150
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: with power. So I don't know. I mean, I Keegan

1151
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 1: said it. I think last week or two weeks ago.

1152
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 1: Just because you're seventh, Like if you're in the top

1153
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: six on points, you auto qualify. He's like, just if

1154
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 1: you're seventh or eight, you are not guaranteed anything. So

1155
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 1: I think everything is gonna be on the table with

1156
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: him picking players. I think if you're Kegan, it's weird.

1157
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 1: You're the captain, so there's pressure on you to win

1158
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: it home soil. I think this is a good as time,

1159
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: good of time as any to just throw a couple

1160
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 1: of curveballs, like what are you just gonna bring? You

1161
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 1: know Jordan speech, just because I don't know. Scotty's on

1162
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: a different level right now. The only player who seems

1163
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 1: to be close at times is Rory. Also, had he

1164
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: not been arrested or had the Ravioli incident, he could

1165
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: be on. He could be at more tour and major wins.

1166
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 1: I am someone who is too young to see prime

1167
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 1: tiger golf, but can't be played much better than Scotty.

1168
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 1: How many majors do you think Scotty get to? Let's

1169
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: end on this. I'm with you. Like the way Scotty

1170
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: is playing. I think, by all the metrics is as

1171
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: good as most players in the history of this sport.

1172
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 1: I think right now, I think you gotta be careful,

1173
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 1: which is easiest that you always gotta say gotta be careful.

1174
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's twenty nine years old, so typically a

1175
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 1: lot of guys like get better in their thirties. I mean,

1176
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 1: Roy McElroy is better right now over this course of

1177
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 1: this year, then he won that he was when he

1178
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 1: won all those majors in his early to mid twenties.

1179
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 1: I think he'll tell you might not even be close.

1180
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 1: So who's to say Scotty can't be a better players

1181
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: at thirty five than he was at twenty nine. Now,

1182
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 1: statistically you'd say it'd be hard. I would say, right now,

1183
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 1: you'd say like eight to ten. I mean, is there

1184
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 1: a decent chance at the end of next year he's

1185
01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 1: sitting at six? Like what I think the way to

1186
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,439
Speaker 1: look at is what would you put his over under

1187
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:05,920
Speaker 1: at next year? One and a half? Two and a

1188
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 1: half feels a little extreme because you're just mounting up,

1189
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 1: as he's shown the last couple of years, you just

1190
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: have weird year or weird round or get arrested. I'd

1191
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: say it is over under next year at six. So

1192
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,439
Speaker 1: I would say it would be stunning if he ends

1193
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 1: next year not at five. He'd be thirty years old

1194
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 1: with five. If there's a decent chance he could win six,

1195
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 1: he's going to be the heavy favorite going into the

1196
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 1: Masters next year. I don't know a tournament he's won twice,

1197
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 1: so it's like this fucking guy plays well there even

1198
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 1: this year, he was off early and still I think

1199
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 1: finished third. I mean it wasn't for Rory McElroy. Scotti Scheffler, Yeah,

1200
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean I I think all signs point to now.

1201
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: The question is how many can he win? And when

1202
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 1: does he win the US Open? And he's gonna be,

1203
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, the heavy favorite at the US Open

1204
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 1: next year, that's for sure, and the heavy favorite in

1205
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 1: every tournament he plays for the foreseeable future. And it's

1206
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 1: not like he's just a favorite. I mean he's in

1207
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 1: some of these PGA events, he's going to be like

1208
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 1: two and three to one. I mean, hell, looking back,

1209
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 1: I didn't even like him that much this week in

1210
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 1: the Open. Plus four fifties incredible odds for a guy

1211
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: that at any moment can just kick the shit out

1212
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 1: of everybody. You could look back and we might, assuming

1213
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 1: he has another good year, that he had one of

1214
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 1: those stretches. I saw someone broke it down on Instagram

1215
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: that if you invested in Scotty Scheffler over the last

1216
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,640
Speaker 1: three years instead of investing into the S and P

1217
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 1: five hundred, it wouldn't even be close what the returns

1218
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 1: would be for Scotty than anywhere else because if you

1219
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:42,719
Speaker 1: think about it, if you're getting four or five six

1220
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 1: to one on Scotty, even if he wins six of

1221
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: the fifteen events that he plays in. So if you lose,

1222
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 1: if you're betting, let's just pick one hundred dollars. So

1223
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 1: in the eleven events that you lose, eleven hundred dollars.

1224
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: Think of all times that you're turning one hundred into

1225
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: five hundred or seven hundred or four hundred, and that

1226
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:09,559
Speaker 1: adds up. You are crushing your investment. So I just

1227
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 1: think if I had to bet right now, I'd say eight.

1228
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 1: He he's halfway to it. He wins like three over

1229
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 1: the course of the next couple of years, just the

1230
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 1: way it works. Usually a little dry spell, maybe one

1231
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 1: when he's like thirty five years old. But I would

1232
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 1: say eight, which when we talk about Phil like he's

1233
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 1: this all time non tiger legend, he wants six. So

1234
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 1: eight's a lot. I would say ten's on the table

1235
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 1: and if something gets weird, six but eight feels like

1236
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 1: the right number. The volume
