What is going on everybody, John Middelkop go 12 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: Low podcast out and about. I actually recorded the podcast, 13 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: and then some breaking news happened with the Sunty League, 14 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: as we're gonna call it. They like to refer to 15 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: themselves as Live Golf, and I mean it was pretty nuts. 16 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: A couple of things that I think we all saw 17 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: first and foremost a name that's missing from the leak. Uh, 18 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: so we're gonna have to dive into that. I basically 19 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: just scrapped. What I originally talked to at Golo Pod 20 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: is the Instagram slide up into those direct messages and 21 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: get your question answered here on the show. Very very 22 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: easy to do at golo Pod. Slide up into the UH, 23 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: into the messages, the d m s, and get your 24 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: questions answered here on the podcast. Well, the breaking news 25 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: that just happened was Live Golf announced their crew And 26 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm just pulling up a thread here just so I 27 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: get the main names. But I think the number one 28 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: takeaway I have from lives announcement, even bigger than Dustin Johnson, 29 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: who is an enormous name, is there is no film Colson. 30 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: There is no Phil Mickelson. So Phil, who went to 31 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: bat for these guys said all this crazy stuff, is 32 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: now not taking part in the first event. His career 33 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 1: has been derailed. We haven't seen him since who knows 34 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: how long? Didn't Joe of the Master hasn't been the players, 35 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: wasn't at the p GA where he was the offending champion, 36 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, 37 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: the second best player of basically the last thirty years. 38 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: Is who who just has gotten taken to the woodshed 39 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: dragged through the mud for this entire thing, is not 40 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: playing in the event. I I can't wrap my head around. 41 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 1: And because Phil doesn't talk, we got no clue what's 42 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: going on. He just missed the p J Championship again 43 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: where he was the defending champion, and now he's not 44 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: playing in the event. I honestly Dustin Johnson's name that 45 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: was a shocker. Will dive into why ultimately, I think 46 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: he did it. But the Phil he went through all this, 47 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: He's probably had one of the worst six months of 48 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: his career and now he's not in the event. I 49 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: think that has to be the number one headline head scratcher, 50 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: and I would say the one B headline, But I 51 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,839 Speaker 1: think it's pretty easy to rationalize this. I was coming 52 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: back from Lake Tahoe on Tuesday and I was listening 53 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: to the No Laying Up podcast and Tron had mentioned 54 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: on the podcast there were rumors out there of Dustin 55 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: Johnson's pay day and the pay day and we had 56 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: heard original numbers. Are people are saying a hundred and 57 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars? Is it really that crazy for Dustin Johnson, 58 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: who's closer to forty than he is thirty five, who 59 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: has already accomplished everything he can possibly accomplish on the 60 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: PGA tour. He's a major champion. He's got to win 61 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: every year for basically a decade. He's made a ton 62 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: of money. I think he's won the second most amount 63 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: of money on tour beside Tiger and Phil that if 64 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: they gave him a hundred fifty million dollars, like to 65 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: me when I'm DJ and eventually whenever I have to 66 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: talk about this and they asked, why did you do it? 67 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: Because I think that's a fair thing. He's he's he'd 68 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: go down as one of the greatest players in p 69 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: J tour history. You could even argue he's underachieved a 70 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: little bit, but he's he's truly one of the great players. 71 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: I think he's easily one of the best players the 72 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: last couple of decades. Major champion, he's gonna host, He's 73 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: gonna be the Master's Dinner the rest of his life. 74 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: Why he did this? And I think his response would 75 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: just be, they gave me a hundred and fifty million dollars. 76 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: What they gave me a hundred and fifty million dollar 77 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: hundred fifty or a hundred thirty or hundred sixty, whatever 78 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: the amount is. I would come out and just be 79 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: completely honest because I don't think anyone will say anything 80 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: after he says that, because I think that's a trump card. 81 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: They gave me a hundred and forty seven million dollars, 82 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: and here's the kicker. Everybody they direct deposited a hundred 83 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: of it into my account yesterday. So I opened up 84 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: my account and I've made whatever seventy five million dollars 85 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: on tour, and I had a hundred million dollars in 86 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: my bank account. Because Taylor Gooch is another name I've 87 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: been gambling on Taylor Gooch. I think he's one of 88 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: the better young players, kind of up and coming guy 89 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: on tour. He's gonna, you know, to me, he's he's 90 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: just a really, really good player. He's thirty five in 91 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: the Official Golf World rankings and he's on there. I 92 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: think if people knew how much the Satti League offered 93 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: Taylor Gooch to go play golf in these live events, 94 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: people would be at what I would have gone to. 95 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: There's a chance, and I'm just guessing. I don't have 96 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: the information that Taylor Gooch got more money going if 97 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: if he if in the rules like he could play 98 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: in one event and not pay, who knows. I don't 99 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: know he's been paid or not, but I think there's 100 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: a chance because if you're a guy like Taylor Gooch, 101 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: why would you risk it? And it could just be 102 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: as simple as the cash they gave me the bag. 103 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: What was Nick Saban saying about Texas and m they're 104 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: paying everyone more money than every other school. Well, Taylor Gooch, 105 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: if they gave him, let's just pick a number. Sixty 106 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: seventy million dollars. A couple of weeks ago, the Denver 107 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 1: Nuggets general manager technically might have been the president whatever. 108 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: Tim Conley went to the Minnesota Timberwolves. They gave him 109 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: like eight million dollars a year and equity in the club. 110 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: So people like, why would you leave? Nicole Yoki? You 111 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: got this good young team. Everyone's under contract because they 112 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: gave me eight million dollars and equity in the basketball team. 113 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: If I'm Taylor Cooch, why would I go and risk 114 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: I could have a fantastic PGA tour career. They gave 115 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: me fifty million dollars because a lot of times they 116 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: have been being turned down by everyone on the tour. 117 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: So a guy like Taylor Gooch says yes, his number, 118 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: he has some leverage. Maybe he asked for a little 119 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: bit more and maybe he got it because to me, 120 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: obviously Phil not showing up crazy, DJ going a little 121 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: crazy just because he said he was staying on the 122 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: PGA tour. But I think it's fair to say they 123 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: gave him an astronomical amount of money. Aaron Rodgers got 124 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: a hundred fifty million dollars. DJ might have just got 125 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: a hundred fifty million dollars. So those are the two 126 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: big stories. And to me, the Gooch name stands out 127 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: because he's a good, young, ascending player, and I think 128 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: it's fair to say it's pretty black and white white. 129 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: You probably left. They cut him generational money. And if 130 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: you're just open and honest with it, the media is 131 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: gonna crush you for doing business with these people. Tell 132 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: how much they're paying you. That to me is much 133 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: more understandable by the common guy. The media doesn't dictate 134 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: what we all feel. They just give us their opinions. 135 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: But if DJ can come out and say they gave 136 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: me a hundred seventy five million dollars, if Taylor Gooch 137 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: comes out and says, listen, guys, they gave me thirty 138 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: seven million dollars for this year, people like, yeah, I 139 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: would have gone to totally understand because all the other names, 140 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: the nas, the Garcia's, the Louise, the Lee Westwood's, like, 141 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: we know those guys have been going forever. Who cares, 142 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: That's my simple reaction. Who cares Phil not playing bizarre? 143 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: DJ and Gooch got paid, and Gooch I think benefited. 144 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: You know, DJ was gonna cost him ahipload of money 145 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: no matter what. But Gooch because all these other guys, 146 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: the j t s, the more cow was, the ROMs, 147 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: the the elite like top twenty guys that kept goes 148 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: keep turning them that Bryson don't accept their money, his 149 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: number goes up. So originally, if Taylor goochs only that 150 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: cost him a couple of million, well, if he's their 151 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: third best player, and really, when you factor in age, 152 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: him and DJ are clearly the best group, right, I 153 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: mean two guys under I mean I think I don't 154 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: have Taylor Gooch is. I would guess I'll look it 155 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: up right now. He is twenty three, maybe twenty five, 156 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: Taylor Gooch is, he's a little older, and I thought, okay, 157 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: he's thirty. I was maybe he's a little older than 158 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: I thought, but still thirty years old. I guess he's 159 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: been He left Oklahoma State in Tis fourteen. But yeah, 160 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: I mean money, money talk, shit walks. Been saying this 161 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: for a while. Uh, and now, I mean, how do 162 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: we watch this thing? Will we watch? Probably not? But 163 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: at least we have some clarity on this never ending story. 164 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: Let's react to what just happened over the weekend, and 165 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: it ended up in a playoff with the number one 166 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: player in the world, Scottie Scheffler verse Sam Burns, who's 167 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,719 Speaker 1: won four times since May eleven. May eleven in two 168 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: thousand one, so basically in a year period he's won 169 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: four times. Obviously, Scotti Scheffler has won four times this year. 170 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: They have combined won eight tournaments. Obviously, Scottie, you win 171 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: in the Masters, that's a bigger deal than you know. 172 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: That's as good as it gets. But Sam Burns has 173 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: won some legitimate golf tournaments. Winning this that weekend or 174 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: last on Sunday at Colonial is a very very impressive win. 175 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: And I I don't think we, you know, we understand 176 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: it in golf's unique right, because you're it's not two 177 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: teams right in football, you win or you loose. In baseball, 178 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: you win or you lose. In golf, you can have 179 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: an unreal week and finish sixth. You could have an 180 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: awesome week and finish eight. Like Meto Pereira said when 181 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: he blew it on Sunday at the PGA Championship, his 182 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: goal that week was to make the cut. You would 183 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: never go into an NFL game like, you know, our 184 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: goal is just score a touchdown, just we just want 185 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 1: seven points on the board. That's basically like to make 186 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: the cut. It's just like, just get to the weekend. Right, 187 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: we're in golf. If you're playing really poorly, making it 188 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: cuts some big deal. You saw the staff that went 189 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: around this weekend with Justin Thomas, who had the longest 190 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: cut streak going of straight events right that he had 191 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: played in and Tigers numbers like a forty two. It 192 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: puts it in perspective how stupid that is. Honestly, I 193 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: commend and give JT a lot of credit for still 194 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: playing at Colonial once I won the PGA Championship. I'm sorry, 195 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: I'm probably going on a week bender and hanging out, 196 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: but it's pretty clear a lot of guys love that course. 197 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: It's you know, it's just an old school I love 198 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: a good old school country club, the tree lines. Uh, 199 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: I love watching the tournament and it clearly gets very 200 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: hard when the wind pumps. But these two guys are 201 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: just winners, and like you can be really, really really 202 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: good at golf, Tony fine, now Xander, some of these guys, 203 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: and they just don't win very often. Hell, for a 204 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: long period time, Tony really didn't really have a win 205 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: but Puerto Rico opened, which, let's face it, most of 206 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: us don't really take that seriously. Will's alatoris who is 207 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: just the most incredible major player not named like Tiger 208 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: Woods or Jack Nicholas cannot win but every single Major's like, hey, 209 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna be the top three. He's just he he 210 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: puts on clinics, he was just in the It's crazy 211 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: what he's doing. It's insane what Will's alat horus is doing. 212 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: But he's never won a tournament, like, he's never won 213 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 1: a PGA golf tournament. And we set it forever with Ricky. Now, listen, 214 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: Ricky Fowler was when you're in the face of the sport, 215 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: and face would be strong because once Tiger, you know, 216 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: aged out a little bit for like the first half 217 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: of the two thousand tens Jordan and Rory where I 218 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: would say, obviously much more accomplished, but every bit of 219 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: the face of golf. But Ricky Fowler was right there, 220 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: but he was not winning. Ricky Fowler's five career wins 221 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: five and like these two guys both already have four. 222 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: And Ricky Fowler's had an incredible career. You go to 223 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: his his uh, his success at major championships, all the 224 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: top five, several top two's, like, and He's made a 225 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: ton of money. He is very, very successful professional golfer 226 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: who just couldn't really win relative to his talent and 227 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: relative to how often he was in the mix. And 228 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: you know what, Ricky's not alone. A lot of guys 229 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: fall under the category of a Ricky Fowler three four wins, 230 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: had excellent careers, banked a ton of cash, but like, 231 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: not everyone's Justin Thomas or Dustin Johnson or Rory McIlroy, 232 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: hell even Kepka. For a long period of time, it 233 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: was like, you know, keptcas four majors and six career wins. 234 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: It was like not adding up. It's like, what kind 235 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: of ratio is this? Now he's one more since you 236 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: know he won, uh, the waste management. What was in 237 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: two thousand one when he chipped in on seventeen. But 238 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: you look at Keepka, you don't look at a guy 239 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: you honestly, you look at a guy with like eighteen wins. 240 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: That's how we view them because the major championships, let's 241 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: face it, or viewed as multiple wins. Like once you 242 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: win a major, especially a US Open, it feels like 243 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: you if you have two US Opens, it feels like 244 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: you've won eight tournaments, right the way we talk about you, 245 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: and rightfully so. But think how often guys that can't 246 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: get over the hump and win a major. Because sand 247 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: Burns is winning a major, Scottie Scheffler is going to 248 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: win another major. He's Scottie Scheffler. When you watch, I 249 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: was watching, it was either Friday or Saturday. It is 250 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: just that there's no one on tour that plays quite 251 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: like him. His feet are flying everywhere, balls are flying 252 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: all all over the place. Jordan's speech got kind of 253 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: some of that. Can pump balls in the trees, can 254 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: hit balls over greens, and then you look up, you're 255 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: like the student just shot two under. I just watched 256 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: like the last seven holes. It felt like it was 257 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: like I was watching myself. Sam Burns, to me a 258 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: little bit more feels like a high level PGA golfer. 259 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: Obviously Scott he is, but my point is the way 260 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: he gets it around the course. When Scott he's on, 261 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: I mean, he puts on a clinic but he What 262 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: Scotty can do a lot like Spee is if you're 263 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: like God, they don't have it today and they shoot 264 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: one under par. And to me, that's the difference of 265 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: guys that are just consistently winning, Like when he does 266 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: not have his a stuff, he can win, and I 267 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: mean he easily could have won. That turned Honestly, when 268 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: the day started and I was I was headed to 269 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: go bar hop on Memorial Day weekend in Lake Tahoe, 270 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: I was like, I bet Scott he's gonna win this 271 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: thing by several shots, and my Davis Riley Bett doesn't 272 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: have a chance. And then all of a sudden, you know, 273 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: Scotty just kind of hit the skids. Davis Riley birdies 274 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: like three holes in a row, like I'm gonna hit 275 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: this thing one and then you know, I wasn't watching 276 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: but falling on my phone, he pumps one out of 277 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: bounds clearly a lot of guys were blowing up. I 278 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: think Harold Varner uh shot forty five on the back 279 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: nine after being tied for the lead with nine holes left, 280 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: Like that's pretty crazy. Like this is the PGA Tour, 281 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: not you know, your local country club with guys like 282 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: me and you. But I I think these two guys 283 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: are just incredibly impressive, you know, to win at this level. 284 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I love I'm a big Tony female fan, 285 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: big fan of his game. I think he's coming on 286 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: right now. But like, is he ever gonna have four 287 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: wins in his career? You know? I mean, both these guys, 288 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: what would you say there? They feel a little bit 289 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: Jordan's speak, Justin Thomas, Like you just look at their resumes. 290 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: By the time they got to like their late twenties, now, 291 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: Jordan had the majors, but just you know, double digit winners, 292 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: and both guys probably when their careers are over, are 293 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: gonna have twenty five PGA Tour wins. Who knows, maybe more. 294 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say Justin Thomas gonna win 295 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: four or five majors speak, probably get another one, maybe 296 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: a couple. I mean that they're gonna be two of 297 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: the more accomplished US players, like these guys have a 298 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: chance to kind of be the light version of that. 299 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: If you told me Sam Burns wins a couple of 300 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: majors in his career, ends up with thirdteen wins, Scottie 301 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: Scheffler wins four majors and ends up with you know, 302 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: eighteen wins. Like that, That's kind of the vibe that 303 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: I feel with these guys. I honestly have more confidence 304 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: watching Scottie Scheffler and markwa It's his iron play speaks 305 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: for itself. But I I just if I had to 306 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: bet on one guy like moving forward, I would take 307 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler over markwa Uh other stuff this weekend, I 308 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: mean the memorial, I'm gonna bet on Will's al tors. 309 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: I just think like this guy, to me, he clearly 310 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: plays well the bigger the events and for non major 311 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: obviously the players I would put above this, but this 312 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: usually maybe riv Uh feels like one of the biggest 313 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: non majors of the year. Just jack the milkshakes. That 314 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: the history of the guys that have wanted this course, 315 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: and he's so close. It's so crazy how we speak 316 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: about this guy. I mean, we speak about him not 317 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: that far away from like Sand Burns and Scottie Scheffer, 318 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: and those guys have eight wins in the last eighteen months. 319 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: Zalatoris has zero wins. But it's going to happen, and 320 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: more than likely. If I was a betting man, I 321 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: would say Will's Alatauris's first career win is not gonna 322 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: come out of major though. He's always in the mix, 323 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: So the lit of averages like eventually he's just gonna 324 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: have the lowest score. But I like Will's Alatauris this week, 325 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: and if you can get Will's Alatauris like thirty two one, 326 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: uh that that that's gonna be my play. I am 327 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: also one strategy I'm gonna have. I'm gonna bet on 328 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 1: Davis Riley every single week until the guy wins a tournament, 329 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: because you know what, he's going to win a tournament. 330 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: Davis Riley a lot like Sam Burns and Scottie Cheffler 331 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,959 Speaker 1: several years ago. Once upon a time, a guy like 332 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: Zander or Patrick Cantley, that's what he feels is a 333 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: blue chip guy from Alabama. Watch him to take one swing, 334 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: You'll go, oh my god, is that the perfect golf swing? Uh. 335 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: I was texting with my buddy Scotty Raber, who's close 336 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: with Spencer Levine who played with him on the corn 337 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: Ferry Tour, and just was like, thinks, the guy's a stud. 338 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: And Spencer Levine played on the PGA Tour for almost 339 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: a decades, so he knows what it looks like. This 340 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: guy is coming now. It's hard to win on the 341 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: PGA Tour. Just look at Harold Varner, right, You get 342 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: so close and it's hard to get over the hump 343 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: things go wrong. But I've been big on this guy. 344 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: I don't know much about him beside from a gambling 345 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: standpoint and obviously just watching him. It's not like I've 346 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: been on this guy for you know, two years now, 347 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: but I've been writing him like the last three or 348 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: four months and just following him on a week to 349 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: week basis. Dude is a player, absolute stud. Uh. One. 350 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: When I went to Arizona last year and I spent 351 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: like a week. The best part about going to Arizona 352 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: in the summer if you like the heat, I don't 353 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: mind a hundred ten degrees. I I don't mind a 354 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: hundred twelve degrees. I would much rather be in a 355 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: hundred ten degrees than I would thirty degrees when you 356 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: go to Arizona. Uh. In the summer, golf prices on 357 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: the public golf courses are really cheap. You can play 358 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: the sweetest public golf courses beside TPC Scottsdale, which still 359 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: costs you to fifty but in the winner cost you 360 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: three eight gray Hawk. I played last year two rounds 361 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: at gray Hawk seventy dollars a pop. Where in the 362 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: winter if you went in January, I'm pretty sure it's 363 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 1: like close to three. And the college championships going on 364 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: there right now. It is an awesome course. It I 365 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: love this event. Uh. And it's not like I don't 366 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: follow college golf like I would college football, so I 367 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: don't know. Besides, I know Cole Hammer just because he's 368 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: been in the mix for a while and several years 369 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: ago when it was like Hoveland and Wolf. But for 370 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: the most part, I couldn't tell you you know who 371 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: the sweet players are in college golf and who they're not, 372 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: right the guys like I'm betting on this guy, Like 373 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm not pretending to be that deep into the weeds 374 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: on this, but I love this event and I'm gonna 375 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: watch the hell out of it the next couple of days. 376 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: I love the golf course. Uh it's just a cool place. 377 00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: If you ever get a chance to be in Scottsdale, 378 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: especially over the summer, I would highly recommend playing Greyhoks 379 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 1: got two It's got thirty six holes. When I played it, 380 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: one of them. I think the courses the one actually, 381 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: the one where they played the National Championship was under 382 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: reservation renovation, so I played the other one. But the 383 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: range is cool. It's I think it's Isabella's is a restaurant, 384 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson's restaurant, and it's just it's a very very 385 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: cool place. Got music on the range is awesome. I 386 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: mean the range is massive. Beats playing on the range, 387 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: and uh, I think Gary McCord might be a teacher there. 388 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: I just I really really enjoyed that place and would 389 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: highly recommend it to anybody.

SOB Yeah. Usually 430 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: people are like, oh man, are you going to the 431 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: tournament this weekend? It's like, well, I'm not going this 432 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: week because yeah, I've got a really good buddies trip 433 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: coming up, an underrated, underappreciated gem that is as good 434 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: as it gets. Can't wait. Well, that's awesome. Speaking of 435 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: last weekend Scottie Scheffler, Sam Burns, it's pretty crazy win. 436 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: I was just writing down for the podcast, just their accomplishments. 437 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: Obviously eight wins basically since the middle of May last year. Uh, 438 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: that they seem to be obviously really good friends. Uh, 439 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's crazy. Is now Ricky finished, he had 440 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: so many top fives in major so it's but his wins, 441 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: like he has five career wins, and these two young 442 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: American guys are it feels like both of them are 443 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: gonna double that right in their careers if they stay healthy. 444 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: What do you just make of these two players? And 445 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: just yeah I wrote down, I'm not saying they're gonna 446 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: get to this level. And obviously Jordan's you know, had 447 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: a pretty transcendent couple of years, but kind of the 448 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: Jordan's a t thing. I mean, you guys are winners, 449 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: you know, and that's something in golf that just it's 450 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: hard to do. You you don't need to win to 451 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: make a lot of money. We see a lot of 452 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: rich guys on tour that don't win at at clips 453 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: like this. You know, it's funny John coming into this year. 454 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: I did a bunch of would you rather type pieces 455 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: where I put similar types of players, similar levels of 456 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: players against each other, and kind of went through and said, 457 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: all right, if you don't have one guy for the 458 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: whole year, who are you taking. I think I put 459 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: Rom against Mark cow I put j T against Rory Um, 460 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: guys like that. And so I put Scotty Scheffler and 461 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: Sam Burns, two good buddies like you mentioned, up against 462 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 1: each other. At the time, Burns had two wins, but 463 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: we all knew Scotty had a ton of potential. And 464 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: I went through and kind of matched them up. I said, look, 465 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 1: this one is very very very close. I think I 466 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: went Sam Burns at the time and look, it's impossible. 467 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: There's nothing Sam Burns can do for the rest of 468 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: the year. Where we go, yeah, you had a better 469 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: year than Scotty. Scotty scheff has got a green jacket. 470 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what Sam Burns that maybe maybe give 471 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: a US open and a Clara jug and we can 472 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,719 Speaker 1: start talking a little bit and at least have the conversation. 473 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: But for now, Scotti Scheffler is the number one player 474 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: in the world. He has a green jacket and he's 475 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: won four times. That's enough. That said, Sam Burns is 476 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 1: not that far behind him, and it wouldn't surprise me John, 477 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 1: whether it's the next six months or a year or 478 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: two years or whatever it might be. However long the 479 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: long term UH situation here is that uh Sam Burns 480 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: is at least in the same stratosphere of status as 481 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler is for years and years to come. I 482 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: really think he's that good, well like more Cow for example, 483 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: and obviously he's won two majors. But listen, I'm not 484 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: taking anything away from tpc Harding that that's field with Stack. 485 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: He caught some guys, but there weren't fans there. I mean, 486 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,239 Speaker 1: you just but we just watched the PGA last week. 487 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: It just feels a little different. But we all agree 488 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: more Cows a stud. But these two guys are playing 489 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: way better than he is right now, right, I mean, 490 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: I mean opinion, I mean I think both these two 491 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,719 Speaker 1: guys are at top two Americans just going right now. 492 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: Obviously one guy is the number one player in the world. 493 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 1: But saym just the clip that he's winning at It's 494 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: just it's mind blowing. How about the fact, how's this one, John? 495 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: One of these players is already qualified for the two 496 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: US President's Cup team. Which one is it? Burns? Yeah? Yeah, 497 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: isn't that weird? As well? Though I think Scotty has 498 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 1: an outside shot of making the team. I think he's 499 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 1: gonna be okay. By the way, I would be very 500 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: surprised if, at least for a couple of matches those 501 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: guys aren't partners at Quail Hollow later this year. It 502 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: just seems like, hey, they like each other, both good 503 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: young players, neither one because Scotty has only played the 504 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: Ryder Cup before and Sam Burns has never played in 505 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 1: professional team competition like this, So it's not like either 506 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: one of them has sort of quote unquote their guy. 507 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: It's not like, Okay, Cantley has got Shoffly and speed 508 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: as JT, and they've all kind of paired up already. 509 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: You would think that Scheffler and Burns, being good friends, 510 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: their games should complement each other. The US might have 511 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: another team for the next ten fifteen years. That that 512 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: that goes together and you know what, a year from 513 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: now and maybe less it might even be this year, 514 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: but at some point we're gonna say Will's alt Orris 515 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: and Davis Riley are absolutely going to be a a 516 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 1: President's Cup in Ryder Cup duo for years to come 517 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: as well. It seems like it's just outlined for them 518 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,719 Speaker 1: for the future. Well, he's another guy and I had 519 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: a little juice on him last week, Riley feels. I mean, 520 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: his swing is just absolutely perfect. Uh, you know when 521 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: you can get him at these fifty sixty I know 522 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: we talked last week he was a little higher, but 523 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: this week he's kind of hovering around the fifty one. 524 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: Like Burns and Scheffler for earlier in their career. You 525 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: just gotta gamble on these guys. Saw a staff that 526 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: if you bet a hundred dollars the last twenty eight 527 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: events of Sam Burns, you would be up eight hundred 528 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: or right, just because I mean, and now those numbers 529 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: are gonna come down. But looking at this week, I 530 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: know you took John Rohm, who had the weird thing 531 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: happened last last year, and this this fields legit and 532 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: obviously top players typically win this event. Sell me on 533 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,239 Speaker 1: John Rom because I'm I'm off the set right now, 534 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: are you really look? I just think that there's there's 535 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: more to it from a narrative perspective than there is 536 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: from the actual play. Recently, we know John Rom can 537 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: he can show up any week at any event and 538 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 1: plays best golf. This is the place that he loves. 539 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: The ball striking has been fantastic here. Yeah, the short 540 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 1: game is not great, the putter has not been terrific 541 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: this year. But I think there's a sense of unfinished 542 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: business for Rom. I get it. There's a happy ending 543 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: after all this last year two weeks later, handled it 544 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: really well in front of the media and the public, 545 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: wound up winning the US Open. Okay, all's well, that 546 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: ends well. But he's gonna get back there to mure 547 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: Field Village this week and feel like he's got some 548 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: work left to do to finish that off and to 549 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: go out and and essentially go out and get that 550 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: victory that he thinks maybe has it owed to him 551 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: from last year, but he thinks he he probably should 552 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: have had he was We're straight off two weeks where 553 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,239 Speaker 1: guys uh one who were seven shots back, trailing by 554 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: a touchdown going into Sunday. So it's it's it's tough 555 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: to say it was a done deal that John rob 556 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: absolutely was gonna win being up six, but yeah, probably 557 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: was number one in the world. He was probably going 558 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: to win that. And so the fact that it was 559 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: taken away from him, and John says, look, you know, 560 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: if they shouldn't have bent the rules for me, I 561 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: understand it. It's disappointing, but I get it. But the 562 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: fact that he's he's got something to go out there 563 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: and prove something to play for this week, that that 564 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: puts me on ron. That's it. There is one top 565 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: tier player that as the week is progressing, I'm liking 566 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: more and more John, and I might be on him 567 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: more than wrong. By the time moring Victor hold that 568 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: doesn't have a great record here seven and forty eight 569 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: and two previous starts. It just feels like a Victor 570 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: Hoveland golf course. A lot of mid and long irons 571 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: into the greens. That's his specialty. Look, I am off 572 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: Hovland anytime. Uh, you're gonna miss a lot of greens 573 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: a place like Colonial last week, I didn't think it 574 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: was a good spot for him with those small greens. 575 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: He's going to have to get better at chipping before 576 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: we start looking at him at places like that, but 577 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: one where iron play is so important and Tita greenplay 578 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: is so important. I think Hovland's a really nice play 579 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: And it also feels like, you know, he's sort of 580 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: at the same point of his career where Patrick Cantley 581 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: was when he won for the first time back in 582 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen here, where Brycon de Shambo was when he 583 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: won for the first time here. It just feels like 584 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: Victor Hovland kind of could use that one big, sort 585 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: of stepping stone victory to get him to the major championship. 586 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: So I'll have a decent Hovland investment this week as well. 587 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: The two names that you had mentioned in your in 588 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: your piecedki uh you know, I think as a as 589 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: a course fit, I mean any time that he's he's 590 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: playing well, he can win anywhere. And Max Homa, who 591 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: you know, tough golf courses we've talked about previously. And 592 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: you know another guy and I know you like this 593 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: guy coming up for the US Open. I think a 594 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna be and I would imagine 595 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna be heavily gambled this week is Shane Lowry. 596 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: When you talk about mid the long iron play, right, 597 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: those three? Who who would you? Who would you take? Like? 598 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: How would you rank those three? I mean like asked 599 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: me to pick through my children right now and figure 600 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: out who my favorite is That Shane Lowry is on 601 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: on top of my list. I I've had this happened 602 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: so many times over the years, because You're right, John, 603 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: I love him for the US Opening two weeks. I 604 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: can't tell you how many times I had a guy 605 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,239 Speaker 1: all teed up, I'm ready to go with him, love 606 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: him for the major championship, and then in his last 607 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: start two weeks beforehand, goes out and play some great golf. 608 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: He essentially peaks two weeks too early, and then you 609 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: either look like you're just taking a chalky play or 610 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: you don't want to even want to play him because 611 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: the number gets too short to really play it. And 612 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,239 Speaker 1: so Shane Lowry is about as short as I want 613 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: to play him right now. Uh, if he gets any shorter, 614 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna like him nearly as much for the 615 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,040 Speaker 1: US Open. But I do think that he's going to 616 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: be a good play this week. A DECKI is probably 617 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: next on my list. Look at deck. He has gone 618 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: through a two months stretch where he's been the toughest 619 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: elite level player to figure out. He went and withdrew 620 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: from the Players Championship with a neck and a back injury, 621 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: went to the Valero Texas Open, played one round withdrew 622 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: the same injury, then went to the Masters to defend 623 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: his title from last year. He said, okay, stay away 624 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: from Adecki. He's hurt, he's not playing great. Goes to 625 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: finish in fourteenth place, and so, okay, well, now maybe 626 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: we're green light the deckie. But then he doesn't play 627 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: for five weeks, comes back at the A T and 628 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: T by Renelson, and I're like, all right, is he hurt? 629 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: Is he not hurt? Why wasn't he playing? Stay away 630 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: from a DECKI finishes in third place. At that point, 631 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: all systems go. PGA Championship. The next week, let's get 632 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: on hi DECKI. He finishes in sixty place. Now we think, 633 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: all right, I don't know. He's been all over the place, 634 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: bouncing back and forth, really hard to figure out. Finally 635 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: I'm back on him. He won this event, has a 636 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: few other really good results, and then I it's Maxima 637 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: and allhoma does is win when he's in contention. He's 638 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: only got six career top five finishes, but four of 639 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: those are victories. I feel like Homa is started playing 640 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: with house money at this point right now, where he 641 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: knows that whatever's whatever's taken away from whatever, whatever event 642 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: he goes through, if he doesn't win, it's well, I 643 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: got two wins already this season. I got four in 644 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: my career. Everything's looking up. It's only good things coming 645 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: from Max Homa. And so I do think that betting 646 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: on a guy who's playing with house money is usually 647 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: a pretty good idea because those guys can play with 648 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: a little less fear out there, and that's where he's 649 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: at in his game, right You know, we talked a 650 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: lot about Scheffler and Burns and obviously discussed they've had 651 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: and you know, clearly gonna be President Cups guys. I 652 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't put Home quite on their tier. But the gap 653 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: isn't his wide, Like, yeah, I mean, it's Homer to 654 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: you a President Cup guy? Is he a future Ryder 655 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: Cup guy? I mean to me, it's if you tell 656 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: me the next ten years, is Max Holma win a major? 657 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: And gave me pretty good odds I would say I 658 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: would bet on Maxima will probably win a major in 659 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: his career. It's very close. As far as Prisons Cup 660 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: this year, you really need. I mean, this is like 661 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: trying to pick a guy for for the NBA All 662 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: Star Game. It's like, well, he's not necessarily a snub 663 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: if he doesn't make it. Just it's a numbers game. 664 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: And so you can't have fifteen guys on the twelve 665 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: man team and say hey, they're all worthy of it. 666 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: I mean we do this every year with Kevin Kissner 667 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: and Billy Horschel and Kevin Nah. Where we go, Man, 668 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,879 Speaker 1: those guys are bulldogs and they're so good at match play. 669 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: How are they not on the team. And then you 670 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: start looking at the team one through twelve and you go, oh, 671 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: that's how they're not on the team. There's a lot 672 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: of other really good players. And so I'm not meaning 673 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: this at all to say that Maxima isn't worthy, because 674 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,879 Speaker 1: he is. I just need to sit down and look 675 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: at the team, because you go from all, right, we've 676 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: got Scotty, we've got Sam Burns, we've got j T. 677 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: We've got Jordan's, we've got can't Ley, we've got Xander. 678 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: That's that's six right off the bat, and I'm probably 679 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: missing a couple more cow and there we go. How 680 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: can I forget him there? I mean, there's there's gonna 681 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: be guys. It now is healthy, it's kept making it salatorus. 682 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 1: I think is a generational ball striking talent. I absolutely 683 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: put him on that team. It's Dustin Johnson getting on 684 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: that team. I don't know. I mean, there's a lot 685 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: to look at, so it's it's less about Hey, do 686 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: I like Max Holm and think you should be on 687 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,479 Speaker 1: the team. Yeah, of course, Do I think you should 688 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 1: be on the team Over the twelve guys that are 689 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: ranked ahead of him, I can. I can look at 690 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: the world ranking right now and see where he's ranked 691 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: as far as American players, and I'm not sure that, 692 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: you know, Let's see, can we do this real quick? 693 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: John as we're talking right now, Let's see if we 694 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: can Well, Bryson was a guy that felt like a 695 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: generation lock and the injuries, you know, he's derailed. You know, 696 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: he's kind of fallen off right because he hasn't played right. 697 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 1: So homers ranked in the world. For the Americans above him, 698 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: we've got Scotty Markowa JT can't Lee Burns, Jordan's than 699 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: dj Zalatrus, Finale, Horse Kepta, Bryson, Harris English. That's fourteen 700 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: players ranked above him right now. Now is Harris English 701 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: gonna make a team over him this year? Now? Is 702 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: Brooks Kepta? Maybe maybe not. It's Billy Horschel. It's probably 703 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,399 Speaker 1: kind of close. He's got Daniel Berger and Cameron Young 704 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: right behind him. I might take one or both of 705 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: those guys over Maxima right now. It's really really cool. 706 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: Tony Fenel is kind of flying out of the radar 707 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: right now, playing a lot better. He's he's been a 708 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: lot better. And one guy you you talked about Hoveland 709 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: like him this week? Does Zalatorus kind of fall into 710 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: that too, of like a guy that just needs a 711 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: big win playing well. He plays well in these big events. 712 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: I'm looking at his on FanDuel to one. I mean 713 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 1: it's one day he wins a couple of tournaments, those 714 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: numbers are gonna start going to like fifteen to one, right, Yeah, yeah, 715 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,359 Speaker 1: I get that. I agree with a guy that's never one. 716 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: Did you even see Tony fen Now We never saw 717 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: him hit a shot never. I no idea I'm still 718 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 1: not sure he was actually at Colonial. His gave him 719 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: the back door top five finish. Good for him. I 720 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: I didn't see him there, but good for him. Yes, 721 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: Salatrus has got Look I get that. People look at 722 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: his putting stroke. Uh, he misses some three or four footers. 723 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 1: He also puts himself with a lot of birdie chances. 724 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 1: The way he hits the ball. I'm telling you, he 725 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: hits the ball as good as just about anybody out 726 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 1: there in the entire world right now. I mean, you 727 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: can put his iron game up there with JT and 728 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: Morikawa and he might come out on top. Quite frankly, 729 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: he is that good. And so if you're just not 730 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: playing him because you don't think the putter is gonna 731 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: hold up, that's a bad reason. If you're not playing 732 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 1: him cause you think one is too short for a 733 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: guy who keeps getting chances playing against big fields, and 734 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: it hasn't one yet. Okay, I can understand that rational. 735 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 1: But he's going to win golf tournaments. He's that good. 736 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,879 Speaker 1: He's fourteen in the world. By the end of this year, 737 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna be seventh or eight. He really is. He's 738 00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 1: that good. Oh well, last name just gonna see him 739 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,240 Speaker 1: on the betting ball. This guy's also you know, playing 740 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: pretty good. He's turning the season around his Patrick read. 741 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 1: You know, just just a guy when you can get 742 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 1: fifty one right now, he's forty eight to one. Just 743 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,760 Speaker 1: it wouldn't stun you if he just wins a tournament 744 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: this year, right, I mean, and you just get a 745 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: guy with this credentials with those odds pretty good. So 746 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna lump two guys together here because I like 747 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 1: both of them in the mid tier. In fact, what 748 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: the other guy like a little bit more? But Keegan 749 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: Bradley is right there, what fifty sixty two one this 750 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: week and reads right around sixty five? Yeah, I got 751 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,320 Speaker 1: I got read at forty eight and Keegan at sixty 752 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: five on Fandel. Okay, there we go. I think there's 753 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 1: some other books that have that reversed a little bit, 754 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: But I like keeping a lot. Keegan is a guy 755 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 1: kind of like Salataurus, where people say, ah, he can't 756 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 1: put He's actually putting better than the average on the 757 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 1: PGA Tour so far this season, and so the putter 758 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 1: has not been terrible whatsoever. And then you put him 759 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: with Reid Reid has been hitting the ball a lot 760 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: better since he switched drivers. It looks a lot better 761 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,839 Speaker 1: off the tea. And the thing with both these guys 762 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 1: and the reason why I'm lumping together, is the fact 763 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 1: that we know they can win big tournaments. There are 764 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: other players who are somewhere in the fifty to sixty 765 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: to one range, and you look at me, go, that 766 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,240 Speaker 1: guy's never one before, or he's only one once before. 767 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that I want to put my money 768 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: on him. We know with both of these guys, they 769 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: have won major championships. They are not gonna be intimidated. 770 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: They're not gonna be um worried about getting their names 771 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: on top of the leaderboard on a Sunday afternoon and 772 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 1: trying to stay there. These guys, when they're playing their 773 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 1: best golf, they've proven that they can close out events. 774 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 1: And so those are the guys that in the mid 775 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: tier I like betting on because they've been there, done that. 776 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 1: You're not hoping for a once in a lifetime type 777 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 1: of victory this week, I hear you, well, I might 778 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: dab a little bit on Keegan Bradley. Definitely for a 779 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 1: top five or something this this week. Probably good odds. 780 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 1: Enjoy your you know, your trip to Augusta this weekend. Uh, 781 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: and UH we will talk. We have major season right 782 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: around the corner, so we'll talk next week and react 783 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 1: to the memorial and uh, don't have too much fun. 784 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 1: Don't have too much fun. It's probably not a gust 785 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 1: different listeners out there, but I'll just let that linger 786 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: and let him think it might be okay, So we'll 787 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: talk to you soon. Man, Thanks buddy. Okay, let's go 788 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: to the at go low pod mail bag. At go 789 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: low pod mail bag very easy to get involved. Just 790 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: go to that Instagram and the fire in the d 791 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,959 Speaker 1: M s very very very simple. Let's start with Ryan. 792 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,800 Speaker 1: Question for the go Low pod. I heard you talking 793 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,839 Speaker 1: about how you play golf by yourself from time to time. 794 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 1: As someone who doesn't always have people to play with, 795 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: I've considered doing the same, but I'm also pretty introverted, 796 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 1: so I don't really want to play with randoms if 797 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: I don't have to. When you play by yourself, do 798 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,840 Speaker 1: you ask to go out solo or do you usually 799 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 1: join another group? If you go solo, do you play 800 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 1: more than one ball? So if I if I go 801 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 1: to the court and I did this to public courses, 802 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 1: and uh, because I would find public courses a couple 803 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,720 Speaker 1: of plays, I went to Napa, Chardonnay and Eagle Vines. 804 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,959 Speaker 1: I could usually get out there and it'd be pretty open, 805 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 1: so I was always going to be able to play 806 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: by myself. I joined a club within the last month 807 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: and a half, and I'll just go out there sometimes 808 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: on an afternoon and just play golf by myself and walk. Now, 809 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: if I want to get a real score, I will 810 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 1: try not to hit two balls, but every once in 811 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: a while you screw up, I will play my first ball, 812 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: but I will hit second balls. And the one way 813 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,399 Speaker 1: I'm able to do this is I just usually bring 814 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: like my uh my bows, bluetooth uh connector to my phone, 815 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: so I'll have a podcast of music going just kind 816 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 1: of me nature. You know, some people like to fish 817 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,320 Speaker 1: by themselves, some people can go hunt by themselves. I 818 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 1: have no problem playing golf by myself. Uh it's obviously 819 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 1: I like playing with my friends more. But I could 820 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:02,280 Speaker 1: easily play once or twice a week. Definitely nine holes, 821 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 1: but I can do eighteen. I probably do eighteen maybe 822 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 1: once a week if I'm gonna walk, because it is 823 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: it does take you a little time. That's a long 824 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,359 Speaker 1: time just be out there by yourself. But if it's 825 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 1: a nice day, I don't mind it. Now we'll I 826 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: join a random group. I'm not opposed to it at 827 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 1: the country club at the It's a little risk here 828 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 1: on the public golf courses because I'm not I mean, 829 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: I'm a four handicap. Now some days I can shoot eight. 830 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,800 Speaker 1: But I don't want to play with shitty golfers, you know, 831 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 1: so I at least when you know who you're playing with, 832 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 1: you know what their level is. Now, it all depends. 833 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 1: If you're a twenty handicap, you don't mind playing with whoever. 834 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 1: But if you're a decent golfer, you don't want to 835 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,760 Speaker 1: play with bad players. Sounds a little snobby, I guess, 836 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: but like if you're a hunter, you don't want to 837 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 1: go with a guy that's never shot a gun. If 838 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: my dad was a big fly fisherman, he wouldn't want 839 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: to go fishing on a nice river with a dude 840 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 1: they didn't know how to, you know, set up his 841 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,879 Speaker 1: rotten reel. So I I just think you gotta find 842 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: your sweet spot. I enjoy playing golf with myself. I 843 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 1: I just it's just gets me outside, gets the sun 844 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 1: on me. I can do it pretty easily, but some people. 845 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people that say they don't 846 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: want it. This is from Icarus. Is Rory the Aaron 847 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: of golf? Such an unbelievable talent, but can never really 848 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: get over the hump? Now the difference to me Rory 849 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 1: and Aaron obviously winning it's easier if Aaron Rodgers was 850 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 1: a golfer, he would have several majors. It's harder to 851 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,400 Speaker 1: win the super Bowl because you have to depend on teammates, 852 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 1: depend on coaches. Rory, four time major champion, just has 853 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 1: to depend on himself. I would say that Rory and 854 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: Aaron do have some similarities. Uh though their personalities, it 855 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: feels like, are a little bit different. I feel like 856 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 1: I would like Rory much more personally. I feel like 857 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 1: Rory his friends would say like, people love Rory McElroy. 858 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 1: I think Aaron can be a little hit or us. Now, 859 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,320 Speaker 1: if you're listening to this on Wednesday, the match is happening, 860 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 1: maybe Aaron's loosened up. But I would say Rory the 861 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 1: person would be more like I'm trying to think of 862 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 1: a of a cool young quarterback. I don't even know 863 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 1: the comp It feels like if Philip Rivers, you know, 864 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 1: just I got Eli Manning, someone that everyone likes. I 865 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 1: would say, though, I would put him in the same 866 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 1: category as like two of the greatest all time talents 867 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 1: we've ever seen. Like you watch them play golf and 868 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: play quarterback, You're like, God, that looks cool, you know. Now. 869 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 1: I defend Rogers. Last year he blew it the Nighters game. 870 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 1: He was not good enough, But it's Mike McCarthy was 871 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 1: his head coach for a long period of time, so 872 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 1: it's not in their defense. Hasn't always been great if 873 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 1: he if if if he it was an individual sport, 874 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 1: I think Rogers would have, like Rory several majors. If 875 00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: he was a tennis player, he'd have Grand Slams, you 876 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 1: know what I mean. Sort of goes across both sports 877 00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 1: you cover. During your time as a scout with the Eagles, 878 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 1: did you have a chance to play some rounds with 879 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 1: former players or coaches in front office guys and if 880 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,279 Speaker 1: so and he surprised you with their game. Big fan 881 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,799 Speaker 1: of the goal low. It's a nice change of pace 882 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,800 Speaker 1: from some of the other Golf podcast I did not. 883 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 1: Now I most you know, Sean McDermott, Andy Reid, Matt Maggie, 884 00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,280 Speaker 1: these guys weren't playing golf. I did play with other scouts. 885 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,840 Speaker 1: We would go play. We we had this access to 886 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,759 Speaker 1: this country club in New Jersey that we could go 887 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 1: play for free. Maybe it costs ten dollars, I don't 888 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 1: totally remember, but we definitely had access to go play golf. 889 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 1: So I would go play with some of my buddies, 890 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,799 Speaker 1: but I have I never played golf when I worked 891 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,920 Speaker 1: in the NFL with like, you know, Howry Roseman or 892 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,720 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Lurie or anything like that. But I definitely played 893 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 1: with some, uh most of the younger scouts when I 894 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 1: was there. I mean I was the lowest guy in 895 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,440 Speaker 1: the total pole. I wasn't really running in those circles. 896 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,840 Speaker 1: So you just you just hung out with the other scouts. 897 00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 1: You know. It's like being on the practice squad or whatever. 898 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:00,360 Speaker 1: You just hang out with the practice. If you're on 899 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 1: the practice squad, you're not hanging out with Deebo Samuel 900 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:07,120 Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott probably right. But I would now because 901 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,279 Speaker 1: if any executives listening to this want to go play 902 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 1: some golf. I'm game, I am game. Uh, just so 903 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,560 Speaker 1: you know, I picked Salatorus and I know you're riding 904 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,719 Speaker 1: with JT. So may the best man win. This was 905 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 1: last week. I have Salatorus this week, just an f y. 906 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 1: I the NFL used to be spawnsor they used to 907 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 1: sponsor Paint Stewart. He would wear the colors of the 908 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:32,879 Speaker 1: nearest NFL team to the tournament location. I loved Paint 909 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 1: Stewart when I was the first golf tournament I ever 910 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: went to PGA tournament was the ninety US Open at 911 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,279 Speaker 1: Olympic Club. I went with my dad and if you're 912 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 1: my age or older, Holy eight team this it's a 913 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,359 Speaker 1: hard hole. But the way they had the pin cut, 914 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 1: the balls were running off the green and it was 915 00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,759 Speaker 1: like Lee Jansen Paint Stewart and there was just some 916 00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 1: legendary guys hit shots in the middle of the green 917 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,680 Speaker 1: and it ran off and ran all the way down. 918 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,719 Speaker 1: And I remember rooting for Payne Stewart so heavily in 919 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 1: that tournament. Tiger was young would have been and Lee 920 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 1: Jansen end up winning it, and uh and yeah, Payne Stewart. 921 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 1: I think the next year, ninety nine, he beat Phil 922 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 1: and he won the US Open at Pinehurst Pinehurst. That's 923 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,640 Speaker 1: of course. I can't wait to watch pine Hursts on 924 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,320 Speaker 1: television and the pros play it. I think also l 925 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,879 Speaker 1: a country club next year. The US Open is gonna 926 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 1: look really sweet. I don't understand the why Major League 927 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,320 Speaker 1: Baseball or the NFL. I guess at the time the 928 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 1: NFL was just trying to you know, why wouldn't you, like, 929 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:40,240 Speaker 1: what does Major League Baseball get for sponsoring Sebashian Monos 930 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,440 Speaker 1: or Cam Young. I get why they would do it. 931 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 1: If someone would give you money, then I would take 932 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:50,400 Speaker 1: it too. But I I do think, uh yeah, I 933 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 1: don't know, it's kind of weird. I wonder how much 934 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 1: I actually kind of like Cam Young this weekend too. 935 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,359 Speaker 1: That guy is pretty good. A lot of a lot 936 00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,440 Speaker 1: of people in my d MS gave me a lot 937 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,480 Speaker 1: of credit for j T the PG Championship. I do 938 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: feel a little like I I got a little lucky there. 939 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,800 Speaker 1: He shanked it on whole six. He was seven shots 940 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 1: back on Sunday at a major and obviously he is 941 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 1: one of the best players of his generation. But I 942 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 1: think even if we were sitting drinking beers like he 943 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,760 Speaker 1: needed stuff out of his control the guys to seriously 944 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,400 Speaker 1: come back to him even if he played well. So 945 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 1: that was one of my all time You know, in 946 00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,640 Speaker 1: other sports and basketball and football, the back door covers, 947 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's one of those like you take a 948 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:34,320 Speaker 1: team plus eight and they're down forty points and somehow 949 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,080 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter they score like three touchdowns and 950 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,279 Speaker 1: you cover. You're like, I'd have no clue how we 951 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,920 Speaker 1: did this. I would say specifically in football, it happens 952 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 1: on the on the on side kick, when the onside 953 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 1: kick the dude on the other team like no one 954 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 1: touches him, and he runs it back and you cover 955 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,520 Speaker 1: a spread that's happened to me before. You just feel 956 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,719 Speaker 1: like it's very, very lucky. I I don't view j T. 957 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,879 Speaker 1: The best bet I've ever made in golf is JT 958 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,320 Speaker 1: to win the Players Too years ago because he was 959 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 1: twenty to one. I put a hundred dollars, won two 960 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,880 Speaker 1: thousand dollars, and he went out and won the tournament 961 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,920 Speaker 1: like dominated. And I think it was Saturday when he 962 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,160 Speaker 1: had like one of the best rounds of his life. 963 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 1: I think his caddie told his dad, I remember after 964 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,759 Speaker 1: on Saturday's like that's the best ball striking round I've 965 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 1: ever seen so like that. I felt Dustin Johnson to 966 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,360 Speaker 1: uh to win the Masters when with that been the 967 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,040 Speaker 1: fall one. I also had I put five dollars on 968 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,719 Speaker 1: him to top five and that paid like three to 969 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 1: one or something. I remember that was a pretty big hit. 970 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:34,360 Speaker 1: So I want him. I bet him to win, and 971 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 1: I bet him to top five, and uh, that felt good. 972 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 1: But the jt PG Championship, I'll be the first like 973 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,239 Speaker 1: I feel a little lucky on that one, a little 974 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,640 Speaker 1: bailed out. Well, h fasts will h V three ever 975 00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: learned how to finish? Would Jordan Brands still be HV 976 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: three biz if he went to live? You think Xavier 977 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,360 Speaker 1: Perez will still be the Puma Cobra the time he 978 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 1: has his card. I don't know much about Xavier Perez. 979 00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,359 Speaker 1: Is he one of the better young guys? HV three 980 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,720 Speaker 1: shot four, already five on the back nine forty five. 981 00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,919 Speaker 1: He was tied for the lead going into the back nine, 982 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,440 Speaker 1: tied for the lead, and then he shot forty five. 983 00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 1: I'm rooting for him. I'm a I'm a herald armer fan. 984 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:15,880 Speaker 1: I don't know who isn't he seems like one of 985 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,440 Speaker 1: the more likable guys on tour. I don't know the 986 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 1: answer to that question about Jordan Brandon if he went 987 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 1: to Saudi League. As of recording this, the Salty League 988 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,760 Speaker 1: is not announced anything. They keep claiming they're gonn announ 989 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,200 Speaker 1: They're gonna annouce, They're gonna announce, then they never announced. 990 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 1: It's a little bizarre. After listen to your pod last week, 991 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 1: are you finally seeing that Ram is a bit overrated? 992 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,320 Speaker 1: Where do you think he is? Just in a funk? 993 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,840 Speaker 1: You've been talking him up like he's the next Tiger 994 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 1: Woods and all time great in the making. The guy 995 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,320 Speaker 1: has nowhere to be found in contention yet again, I 996 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,520 Speaker 1: personally see a lot of Sergio Garcian loads of talent, 997 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,800 Speaker 1: but is his own worst enemy now. I like his 998 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,360 Speaker 1: chances of the next two Majors, but hasn't lived up 999 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,239 Speaker 1: to the seven to nine to one odds all year. 1000 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 1: I agree he is. This has been an underwhelming season 1001 00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 1: for him given the expectations. I thought coming into this season, 1002 00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,880 Speaker 1: John Ram win a Major and like two other tournaments 1003 00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 1: and be in the mix to be the player of 1004 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 1: the year. Kind of do what Like Sam Burns and 1005 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:12,320 Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler did, but he's not. He's been bad. I 1006 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,759 Speaker 1: actually think him and Colin Morikawa, given the level of 1007 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,440 Speaker 1: expectation for both guys, have had underwhelming seasons. I you know, 1008 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,680 Speaker 1: and it's golf is really hard, and you don't get 1009 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,800 Speaker 1: we don't give you that much credit for top fives 1010 00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 1: and top tens when you're a player, like we want 1011 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 1: him to win. And I know he won the tournament 1012 00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,040 Speaker 1: in Mexico, but that field was a joke. But yeah, 1013 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,000 Speaker 1: I mean I I hyped him up because I believed 1014 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 1: him and JT. Like JT, I just trust j Timore. 1015 00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,359 Speaker 1: Something's off with rom and it might be like one thing. 1016 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:46,080 Speaker 1: JT when you watched him at the PGA Championship, loved 1017 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,880 Speaker 1: his body language. He's become very, very in control of 1018 00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,320 Speaker 1: his body language. I feel the last it might have 1019 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 1: just been the talk with Bones on Thursday night, or 1020 00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,319 Speaker 1: I mean Saturday night after he shot. I think when 1021 00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,120 Speaker 1: he shoot seventy four on Saturday, it felt like he 1022 00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 1: shot himself out of the ornament, and Bones told him, 1023 00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,080 Speaker 1: you can't be so hard on yourself. You gotta relax 1024 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,359 Speaker 1: a little bit. You're one of the best players, were 1025 00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,839 Speaker 1: in contention every week. You need to chill. John rob 1026 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,840 Speaker 1: gets very very piste off. Listen. I would consider myself 1027 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,919 Speaker 1: from like ten years old to thirty five years old 1028 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:21,919 Speaker 1: a major hothead. I really struggled with my emotions, maybe 1029 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,239 Speaker 1: maybe more early thirties, like thirty three. I would say 1030 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 1: the last three or four years of my life I 1031 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,279 Speaker 1: have gotten I listen, I snapped every once in a while. 1032 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,080 Speaker 1: I've gotten a lot better of not getting having things 1033 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:39,200 Speaker 1: irritate me. I'm even talking big things with work, financial stuff, 1034 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,759 Speaker 1: and I have been infinitely more successful controlling my emotions. 1035 00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 1: I think it's very, very difficult. He is not playing linebacker, 1036 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,920 Speaker 1: He's playing golf. He can't get so angry all the 1037 00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,000 Speaker 1: time and expect the dominant. And that's why I think 1038 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 1: he's just sumings off. I watched him, and he feels 1039 00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 1: piste off more than norm him. And I do think 1040 00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:05,640 Speaker 1: his talent is elite. I've heard Pat Perez talk about it, 1041 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,399 Speaker 1: like who plays with him all the time at silver Leaf. 1042 00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,880 Speaker 1: They're not even Tiger talked about it. They clearly hit 1043 00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:14,800 Speaker 1: it off at the Masters, like John Ram is the 1044 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:19,719 Speaker 1: real deal talent wise, but like that doesn't always translate 1045 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:23,319 Speaker 1: and engulf There's nothing wrong to me with getting mad 1046 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 1: after a bad shot or getting screwed on a bad balance. 1047 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,000 Speaker 1: Like that happens, it's golf. We all get frustrated, but 1048 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:30,839 Speaker 1: it feels like when the wheels fall off on him, 1049 00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 1: he can just really implode emotionally. JT used to be 1050 00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,839 Speaker 1: like that, and I think Bones has really calmed him down. 1051 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:40,880 Speaker 1: That's why I think JT is about to go on 1052 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:46,040 Speaker 1: a run where John Ram just my piece of advice 1053 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,759 Speaker 1: as someone that just watches him on TV, gambles on 1054 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,360 Speaker 1: him and roots for him, would be like someone in 1055 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,720 Speaker 1: his life needs to tell him to just chill a little. 1056 00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,400 Speaker 1: He's better than Sergio and Sergio's I mean, Sergio is 1057 00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,600 Speaker 1: an all time great player, but John Ram won the 1058 00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,839 Speaker 1: US Open, you know, in his mid twenties. Sergio didn't 1059 00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,879 Speaker 1: win the Masters till whatever, you know, six seventeen years 1060 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,160 Speaker 1: into his career. So John Ram is going to have 1061 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,880 Speaker 1: a more successful career than Sergio Garcia. But I I 1062 00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,839 Speaker 1: think it's I think it's a fair thing to say. 1063 00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,120 Speaker 1: I don't think you're crazy for putting that out there. 1064 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:21,680 Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone listening to the pod at Golo Pod.
