Speaker 1: I miss the green.
Speaker 2: For example, I'm already upset. When I find my ball
Speaker 2: in the bunker, I'm really upset.
Speaker 1: And when I find my.
Speaker 3: Ball in a Frida Egg Friday Egg, the dreaded Friday Egg,
Speaker 3: Friday Friday Bride Egg.
Speaker 1: Lie, I'm about ready to.
Speaker 2: Run off of the course. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back
Speaker 2: to another episode of the Frida Egg Podcast, back by
Speaker 2: popular demand. We've got Tron Carter and DJ Pyehowski was
Speaker 2: supposed to join, but I think something had to do
Speaker 2: with his Lee Westwood Mark Leishman that went south today.
Speaker 2: He just he's scared. He didn't didn't show up. So
Speaker 2: we're we're filling in with probably a better replacement, Neil
Speaker 2: Schuster of No Laying Up. Gentlemen, Welcome on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, happy to be here, you know, first time participant,
Speaker 3: longtime listener. Yeah, DJ didn't want to see his or
Speaker 3: didn't want to show his face today. Can't blame him,
Speaker 3: bad takes all the way around. Stinks, just can't can't
Speaker 3: can't prognosticate for me. So just wanted to pause and
Speaker 3: say we're coming to you live from one fifty Churchill
Speaker 3: here in Atlanta, the Big Theater lodge.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the big theater lodge. We call it the facility.
Speaker 3: And it's actually Tron Carter's birthday, so April eighth. I
Speaker 3: just want to say big shout to the big homie
Speaker 3: over here. Not a big birthday, Happy birthday, thank you.
Speaker 2: Tryn's getting another year older, another year wiser. You know,
Speaker 2: only better things to come from from trying.
Speaker 3: He said it two years ago. He said twenty seventeen
Speaker 3: was going to be his YadA year, the year of
Speaker 3: the takeover, and it would be It would be poetic
Speaker 3: if Sergio won in Tron Carter's YadA year.
Speaker 1: I don't even want to talk. It's like a picture
Speaker 1: pitching a perfect game. I don't even want to talk
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 3: Like the guy, I'm not even gonna acknowledge the fact
Speaker 3: that Sergio is doing what he's doing. So Andy, can
Speaker 3: I kick it off here. I'd like to say I'm
Speaker 3: rooting for Sergio, but I'm having issues a little bit
Speaker 3: with his his body language.
Speaker 1: He looks real tight out there on the course.
Speaker 3: He's he's really being hard on himself coming down the stretch,
Speaker 3: projecting your own. He made some big putts stick to
Speaker 3: eight footers, but I was I was concerned with with
Speaker 3: he looked like he looked like.
Speaker 1: He was tight. I don't think he had his swing
Speaker 1: up on the stretch today. He was kind of he
Speaker 1: was kind of scraping with that or he was getting
Speaker 1: too steep on I don't know if he believes man
Speaker 1: ever really well though.
Speaker 2: It's it's interesting his round, Like I didn't think he
Speaker 2: putted well either. He kind of was like I didn't
Speaker 2: like how he was just like the ball was barely
Speaker 2: getting to the hole. You know, yeah, I know he was.
Speaker 1: There were some tentative putts in there. For sure.
Speaker 2: He was above the whole lot and that that's tough,
Speaker 2: you know, you can't.
Speaker 3: The one that stuck out to me was like I
Speaker 3: felt like when he on fifteen then on eighteen, like
Speaker 3: he would hit a kind of a mediocre shot and
Speaker 3: just you could tell immediately right off the club face
Speaker 3: from his reaction. But my point is the shot wasn't
Speaker 3: that bad, and his reaction immediately was, oh my god,
Speaker 3: my round's over.
Speaker 1: Like I thought that was in the creek, and it's
Speaker 1: like it's like he's expected the one was no. But
Speaker 1: I feel like to have that happen, it's almost like
Speaker 1: he's waiting for the other to shoot to drop. It's
Speaker 1: like a fatalistic Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's like he's he's uh, he thinks he's gonna go
Speaker 3: down with the ship man. And I wish she would
Speaker 3: be a little bit more uh positive, be positive, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, Andy, do you think he's gonna win tomorrow?
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna come right out and ask, what's your
Speaker 3: what's your pick?
Speaker 2: I just have this feeling Fowler is gonna win. I
Speaker 2: feel like I just he's putting well and he hasn't
Speaker 2: he kind of he's kind of been scraping and around.
Speaker 1: How low key was he this afternoon?
Speaker 3: Just like like from ten onwards or eleven onwards, he
Speaker 3: made so many putts, man like, just like it was
Speaker 3: like a master class in keeping it between the mannais
Speaker 3: and the mustard.
Speaker 2: You know. I here's something I want to talk about,
Speaker 2: is that is Jordan Spieth as a player versus Rory McElroy.
Speaker 3: Is this the time in the podcast when you just
Speaker 3: dump on Rory for five minutes?
Speaker 2: No? No, I just so I think like Rory has
Speaker 2: all these gifts, like Tea Green, He's probably the most
Speaker 2: gifted player with Dustin Johnson, But like he just like
Speaker 2: doesn't get it done. And I feel like every single
Speaker 2: round you could say, well, Rory's round could have been
Speaker 2: a couple shots better, you know, had he not missed
Speaker 2: the short putt. But then Speith is like the complete
Speaker 2: opposite guy where you're like, how the hell did he
Speaker 2: shoot sixty eight? Yeah, he like short sides himself.
Speaker 3: Somebody was somebody said something today about and forgive me
Speaker 3: if it was Fouldo, because that's like the first enlightening
Speaker 3: thing he said all week. But like somebody talked about
Speaker 3: Speeth sees like a third dimension to the golf course
Speaker 3: that nobody else that is very rare for a golfer
Speaker 3: to see where, like especially at Augusta National where like
Speaker 3: like so a couple a few years ago in his debut,
Speaker 3: like somebody was saying where they played with couples, yesterday
Speaker 3: played with couples yesterday said on Friday, said that, uh
Speaker 3: that like couples only missed in one bad spot all day,
Speaker 3: like on eighteen holes, he only had one miss where
Speaker 3: he was in a spot that he wouldn't want to
Speaker 3: miss in And like speak did.
Speaker 1: That three years ago?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And all right, was it two years ago? Three years ago?
Speaker 3: I don't know, but but he he uh, I guess
Speaker 3: three years ago now, yeah, so he but like he
Speaker 3: doesn't he's got that that that sixth sense or that
Speaker 3: third dimension where he just knows. He's just got this
Speaker 3: intuitive feel of the golf course. I thought his post
Speaker 3: round comments today were extremely telling as well. He said
Speaker 3: some I mean some pretty outrageous ship after the round.
Speaker 1: Like what he said, Uh, he said, they can't speak
Speaker 1: proof this place.
Speaker 3: He said that, yeah, and then they asked him to
Speaker 3: he said to Dottie and then they asked him to
Speaker 3: sum up his round today in like one word, and
Speaker 3: he offered he said, like courageous, brave.
Speaker 1: It's like Jesus Man, like really, you know what, I
Speaker 1: really you know what? And I like that.
Speaker 3: I feel like that's his mental state right now. I
Speaker 3: was like, he's outwardly antagonistic to everybody because he's sick
Speaker 3: of being asked about about number twelve last year and
Speaker 3: number fifteen on you know the other day.
Speaker 1: It's like he's ready to roll, it's ready to put
Speaker 1: it in the rear view mirror. I like that.
Speaker 2: As great as his round was, justin Rose shoots a
Speaker 2: better round and gets like none of that press you know,
Speaker 2: is just you know, can do you think? Justin what
Speaker 2: do you how would you handicap the We'll say speed bowler,
Speaker 2: Garcia and Rose and percentages.
Speaker 3: Man, I think Rose is a cold butter killer. Percentages
Speaker 3: are tough and not good with numbers.
Speaker 1: You know. I'm more of a feel guy myself.
Speaker 3: But Rose coming down the stretch, what birdies at seventeen
Speaker 3: and eighteen and just cold blooded birdies right, just like
Speaker 3: fairways Greens making a twenty footer like no biggie with
Speaker 3: his smug ass, big face, his big sunglasses, and you know,
Speaker 3: I kind of I've.
Speaker 1: Grown to like the guy, you know, just because he's
Speaker 1: so smug. I don't want to like him. He's like
Speaker 1: he's like he's like an I six.
Speaker 4: Or something, you know, trying you should love him because
Speaker 4: he's a guy that has altered his career from you know,
Speaker 4: coming out he was an LPCP All Star and he
Speaker 4: said I need to hit the ball.
Speaker 2: Further and has added like forty yards to his driving
Speaker 2: this sense.
Speaker 3: And he figured out how to make his putting work.
Speaker 3: I know he came out he was I remember that
Speaker 3: with the British Open. He was like the young stud
Speaker 3: and then he like, look, he missed like thirty, he
Speaker 3: didn't get it done, and then he came back. He
Speaker 3: kind of backed into that that marry in one though, yea,
Speaker 3: so gifted that to him. But listen, I like, I mean,
Speaker 3: he's a stud, and you're right, Ricky's playing great man.
Speaker 3: I'm mooved for Sergio, moove for Sergio.
Speaker 1: I want to see him do it.
Speaker 3: I want to give a I want to give a
Speaker 3: shout out to Charlie Hoffman because yeah, he had like
Speaker 3: to the garbage man, like I've seen that. I have
Speaker 3: that swing that he made on sixteen. That was a
Speaker 3: pretty I know that swing that was that was like
Speaker 3: a non not as even remotely as bad as the
Speaker 3: swing I made in the Roast My Swing video, but
Speaker 3: like the last down and you just kind of hould
Speaker 3: one like he did the same thing there, just on
Speaker 3: a much tron is haunted by his roast My Swing.
Speaker 3: You can't tell it's been bothering him. No, that's what's
Speaker 3: out in the world. Doesn't swing in that outfit.
Speaker 2: So anyway, it was a bad week for that week,
Speaker 2: Yeah it was.
Speaker 1: No, it was a great week.
Speaker 3: Well, we had a tremendous week, but that was he
Speaker 3: didn't play well. No, I did play like shit, he
Speaker 3: didn't play well. I never play well today, So going back.
Speaker 3: Hoffman comes back after that and sinks two big ass
Speaker 3: putts after he got boned up on eighteen today too,
Speaker 3: Like that was he had a good He had a
Speaker 3: good approach into eighteen and got absolutely to Kambe matumboed Yeah,
Speaker 3: he said he did.
Speaker 1: They rolled back like thirty feet.
Speaker 2: He made only like one bad swing all day was
Speaker 2: that one on sixteen. It's like if he had made
Speaker 2: that swing on fourteen, he probably would have gotten up
Speaker 2: and down for a part. He just made like the
Speaker 2: worst swing he's made all week on a hole with water.
Speaker 3: And even on sixteen he made the he made the
Speaker 3: putt for double right, like he left a little bit short,
Speaker 3: then he made that like he made three big ass
Speaker 3: putts in the last three holes.
Speaker 1: Get ten feet.
Speaker 2: Who's that better chance to Ryan Moore or Charlie Hoffman.
Speaker 2: I think both of them are kind of gonna fly
Speaker 2: under the radar that And it's good that their parent
Speaker 2: each other. They're at four, they're only brought it for Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like Hoffman, I just don't think wars Putter is
Speaker 1: gonna hold up.
Speaker 2: Feel like he's a guy that could go out and
Speaker 2: shoot sixty six and win.
Speaker 1: He's such a grinder.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just he's a he's a big game hunter
Speaker 2: is swinging.
Speaker 3: It's got like pulleys and levers in it and all
Speaker 3: sorts of machines. It's like he was like Pinocchio. It's
Speaker 3: like a it's like a puppet master's pulling strings and
Speaker 3: dropping is. I mean, it's crazy. And then but he
Speaker 3: just gets a he gets so steep on.
Speaker 2: It and he wiggles into it. You know, it's it's.
Speaker 3: Kind of like a furic move, but a lot sexier.
Speaker 3: You know, it's like, how do you do that?
Speaker 1: Man? Like it's really impressive.
Speaker 3: And then they always it's like the thing they do
Speaker 3: on the telecast where they always say the same thing
Speaker 3: about like each players, like, yeah, he won the NCAA,
Speaker 3: you won the UAM Junior, you want everything, Like the
Speaker 3: guy was an absolute killer. Guys he's been on the
Speaker 3: like he's been on the tour for what ten or
Speaker 3: twelve years now, like find something new to say, and
Speaker 3: then tomorrow they're not like I love Seve one of
Speaker 3: my favorite players in the history of the game. But
Speaker 3: like Ian Baker Finch might just like like he might
Speaker 3: be not even not even calling the golf tomorrow, just
Speaker 3: talking about Sev Like they could put him in the corner,
Speaker 3: not even on a hole, and he would just bring
Speaker 3: up set incessantly on everything.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I think the coverage, like I think they had like
Speaker 2: a problem where there were too many big names.
Speaker 1: I'm the leader for sure.
Speaker 2: They like didn't know what to do. They were like,
Speaker 2: oh God, They're like, who shot?
Speaker 3: How about let's start here, Eddie. Why don't we show
Speaker 3: more approach shots into thirteen? I think that's that's a
Speaker 3: great place to start. It's the coolest shot on the course.
Speaker 2: General, And they feel like they just need more.
Speaker 1: They don't show thirteen. They don't they don't have enough
Speaker 1: for And Dottie's Dottie on shouldn't talk. She just says
Speaker 1: like one thing and then like they go somewhere else.
Speaker 3: They go to like perfect example today drives me nuts, Dottie.
Speaker 3: They they they cut to they cut to eighteen after
Speaker 3: showing like eight guys hitting putts in a row and
Speaker 3: not even not even interesting putts or like you know,
Speaker 3: crucial putts, and they cut to thirteen. Green and rom
Speaker 3: rom Is putting for eagle from like twenty feet and
Speaker 3: Dottie says, Dotty says, like rom hit a remarkably beautiful
Speaker 3: shot into here. Yeah, just an absolute gem of a
Speaker 3: second shot. It's like, cool, thanks for showing us guys
Speaker 3: like you.
Speaker 2: Know what they You know what bugs me too is
Speaker 2: when they go to those interviews in Butler Cabin and
Speaker 2: they don't just go to like a small little corner,
Speaker 2: like I don't want to watch two people talk like.
Speaker 1: I'm put it in the side put.
Speaker 2: I'm happy to listen to them talk, but I want
Speaker 2: to see shots still, like I don't want to be
Speaker 2: taken away from all that's going on on the course.
Speaker 3: Well, all right, I'm glad you brought it. I'm glad
Speaker 3: you brought up the Butler cabin thing. It kind of
Speaker 3: pisses me off that those guys are wearing their hats
Speaker 3: in there. If you want to let them wear their hats,
Speaker 3: and I get that with the sponsors, make him do
Speaker 3: the interview outside of all places, Augusta National, like that
Speaker 3: was the one thing when you go over to Europe
Speaker 3: or you go take a nicer club, take your freaking
Speaker 3: hat off, stern but fair.
Speaker 2: I'm a I'm a hat off guy and indoors and
Speaker 2: you know club.
Speaker 3: Do you think of all places the masters like that
Speaker 3: that that's just it's it's just a weird look every
Speaker 3: time I see those guys inside in that wooden setting
Speaker 3: wearing a hat.
Speaker 1: Not good.
Speaker 2: So you guys played some golf today?
Speaker 1: We did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we played up at the Currahea Club in Northeast
Speaker 3: Georgia by Tacoa. It was like right on the South
Speaker 3: Carolina border, famous by a band of brothers. That was
Speaker 3: HBO's coming out party way back in the day. You
Speaker 3: guys watched that show it did. That was a heavyweight heavyweight.
Speaker 3: I think we passed the military.
Speaker 1: I think we did.
Speaker 3: That was that was when Brody from Homeland was was
Speaker 3: Captain Winners.
Speaker 1: So that was the training camp there. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: way back in the day.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's like a mountain course. It was a
Speaker 3: It was a Jim Fazzio. He doesn't as hard as
Speaker 3: Tom Basia. But they said, I don't even know that,
Speaker 3: So Andy, you would find this interesting. He uh, I
Speaker 3: guess like he hadn't visited the property yet and he'd
Speaker 3: reviewed all the maps and kind of done a routing
Speaker 3: like a preliminary routing, and then he got on property
Speaker 3: and saw this, like the site for what is now
Speaker 3: the seventeenth hole, this par three. Like I put a
Speaker 3: picture up on Instagram today and it's it's like this
Speaker 3: par three two hundred dard par three over a quarry
Speaker 3: and he like basically re routed.
Speaker 1: The entire course to make that. You know, when we.
Speaker 3: Slid golf hole, little waterfall on the side, it was cool, man.
Speaker 1: It was all carried. It's all carry.
Speaker 3: We played with the assistant pro and the superintendent today.
Speaker 1: They were awesome greens were the greens were so pure.
Speaker 1: It was just fun.
Speaker 3: Like I made I made four birdies, four doubles and
Speaker 3: a triple.
Speaker 2: Who who who won? The brother showedown.
Speaker 1: Tron kicks up to the curb. I had a tough day.
Speaker 3: Couldn't couldn't locate the the hands at the top spread driver, listen.
Speaker 3: I'm I caught a few good good balls today. I
Speaker 3: had a couple of housele rockets, which wasn't good. It's
Speaker 3: a tough course to go out and play.
Speaker 1: It's a mountain course.
Speaker 3: I struggle with mountain courses because I get a lot
Speaker 3: of funky lies and I'm already I'm not very dialed
Speaker 3: in with my irons to begin with, because I'm not
Speaker 3: playing a lot of golf right now. So you start
Speaker 3: throwing me on uphill downhill stances, and I who knows
Speaker 3: where the ball's going? Who knows how far it's going.
Speaker 3: I mean we played with the superintendent. Without him, I
Speaker 3: would have shot probably one hundred. I mean there were
Speaker 3: so many blind t shots. I didn't really like some
Speaker 3: of the t shots. A lot of blind bunkers. There
Speaker 3: was one hole number number five, it was like a
Speaker 3: down hill and then upfill par five. That That was
Speaker 3: the one where I was like, man, there's no excuse
Speaker 3: to have a shitty hole out here because it's such
Speaker 3: a cart course and there's so much space in between
Speaker 3: a lot of the holes where it's like, all right,
Speaker 3: you guys could have.
Speaker 1: You could have moved.
Speaker 3: You've got enough wiggle room here to to fit a
Speaker 3: good hole in wherever. But the par three's were exceptional.
Speaker 1: There are two great par fours on the front. Yeah,
Speaker 1: good water like good water hazards. Yeah, it's a nice course. Cool,
Speaker 1: It was really fun.
Speaker 3: You know, mountain golf is a different style of golf,
Speaker 3: and the elevation stuff adds a big variable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you don't even.
Speaker 3: Really expect it kind of sneaks up on your Like, man,
Speaker 3: this is a lot of like why am I not
Speaker 3: hitting the ball good? And I started thinking about I
Speaker 3: really haven't felt comfortable over it all day. My depth
Speaker 3: perception was way off. But in the first hole Neil
Speaker 3: Neil hit one three ninety five and granted it's like
Speaker 3: way downhill, but it was when we teed off at
Speaker 3: nine this morning, it was pretty no wind whatsoever.
Speaker 1: It was tasty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you guys had shot Tracker, everybody on Twitter
Speaker 2: it would be tweeting about how far you hit it,
Speaker 2: and you know.
Speaker 1: It be like rip on the first couple of holes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was serious.
Speaker 3: These guys were playing with the pro thought where he
Speaker 3: was going to be in for a laser show. I
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, buddy. And then and the next hole,
Speaker 3: I hit like Elozel into the lake, I mean iron
Speaker 3: like he like Tany Harris. It's like whoa like in
Speaker 3: the middle of the little costume. And then I and
Speaker 3: then I had to go drop one and carry like
Speaker 3: one hundred and ten yards on the next shot, I
Speaker 3: was like, fuck.
Speaker 1: Man, and but I did. I had to agree.
Speaker 3: I hit a three point of the first hole for
Speaker 3: par I missed like a almost he almost had a
Speaker 3: birdie or a whole one. Yeah, closet two inches right
Speaker 3: from I lift it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was close, man like.
Speaker 3: Off this ridge and it started coming back and then
Speaker 3: you could see that like they had they'd stand to
Speaker 3: the greens maybe three or four weeks ago.
Speaker 1: See there's still.
Speaker 3: Slight kind of sand line in the greens and you
Speaker 3: can see the path of the ball and it was
Speaker 3: like it burned the lip.
Speaker 1: Ah, it was.
Speaker 3: It was probably it was probably like two inches from
Speaker 3: going in, just because it would have had to have
Speaker 3: hit it dead on. But final verdict, I'd say Carey
Speaker 3: Club definitely worth worth the drive, worth the time.
Speaker 1: But not of course you can do.
Speaker 3: It's like we played a little bit earlier in this
Speaker 3: season too, Yeah we did. But views were great and
Speaker 3: the course is in awesome shape. It's just mountain golf
Speaker 3: sometimes can throw you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So so Andy, I think we should do something where
Speaker 3: for the mid Am this year because this, honestly, this
Speaker 3: course would be spectacular in the fall.
Speaker 1: So Midam, you know, either.
Speaker 3: You qualify for it or if you don't qualify, we
Speaker 3: put something together, come down and watch the Midham golf
Speaker 3: and we go up to the Curate Heat for.
Speaker 1: A day and then we go up to Sweden's for
Speaker 1: a day.
Speaker 2: I gotta go to Sweetened. I want to do Lookout
Speaker 2: Mountain too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, actually like like like Lookout Mountain in the morning
Speaker 3: and then Sweedens all afternoon one day or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's uh Sweetens. I gotta get too though again.
Speaker 2: But uh let's get back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a question.
Speaker 3: I mean, Phil got dropped from coverage early today. That
Speaker 3: was that was war into that, I know, but I
Speaker 3: feel I just I was I'd say that's been my
Speaker 3: biggest disappointment so far as it. Phil just didn't charge
Speaker 3: today with with speed. There was so much potential in
Speaker 3: that pairing for like just fireworks everywhere and then speech.
Speaker 1: Just leaves me in the dust.
Speaker 3: Yeah that was that was like and he looked fat
Speaker 3: and his white you know, it just was like a
Speaker 3: bad day all around for.
Speaker 1: Was like abusing the elderly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just uh, I don't think Phil can pull
Speaker 2: together for four rounds anymore.
Speaker 3: So he's like Westwood then, so he's like.
Speaker 2: Westwood, Westwood, Westwood is I mean, I don't know Westwood did.
Speaker 2: I feel like Westwood contends more majors now than Phil
Speaker 2: has to.
Speaker 3: See, I don't know if I could buy that, like
Speaker 3: he won. I feel like Phil's more competitive than Westwood
Speaker 3: last year.
Speaker 1: I mean Westwood like he he's he's very competitive in majors.
Speaker 1: He had every chance to win that last year.
Speaker 2: He finished second last year in the Masters, and then
Speaker 2: he was in the final group at the US Open.
Speaker 1: Yeah until yeah, until.
Speaker 2: That's did Phil even make the cut last year?
Speaker 3: Andy, I'm on your side here, all right, So I'm
Speaker 3: just sad about it, that's all.
Speaker 1: Well. So I think that.
Speaker 3: That comes down also to I think people just underestimate.
Speaker 3: But when the courses this hard, they set like you know,
Speaker 3: I mean, the pins were not in easy spots today,
Speaker 3: like they were up on a lot of little ridges
Speaker 3: and stuff. When the when the course is set up
Speaker 3: like that, it's really taxing mentally. It looks like those
Speaker 3: guys were exhausted coming off eighteen today mentally.
Speaker 2: Especially coupled with all the wind from the first two days.
Speaker 2: The wind is what is that just drives you nuts.
Speaker 2: It's so hard to hit good shots in the wind, and.
Speaker 3: Going back, I want to ask you about this because
Speaker 3: I think you'll have an interesting take on it. There's
Speaker 3: been a lot of chatter and yeah, this is a
Speaker 3: topic of conversation during the Florida Swing and then and then,
Speaker 3: like amongst the Brits a couple weeks ago and it
Speaker 3: was over. There was ror Rory's relationship with JP is
Speaker 3: caddy and there seems to be a growing sentiment amongst
Speaker 3: the twitter addie that that JP is costing him at
Speaker 3: least one or two shots around just with miss clubs.
Speaker 3: And I mean people say, like a lot of people,
Speaker 3: I mean, caddie's a little da and all this, and
Speaker 3: like I've never really wanted to buy too much into it.
Speaker 3: Rory knows his game and you know, he's been with
Speaker 3: the guy for forever. But like there's a bunch of
Speaker 3: people that say, like if Rory had a professional caddy
Speaker 3: or somebody that they deem a professional caddy on his bag,
Speaker 3: like he would be so much more effective as far
Speaker 3: as piecing together around when his game isn't.
Speaker 1: What's I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think there's the caddy player relationship is such an
Speaker 2: interesting thing, like you can have and it's a very
Speaker 2: delicate situation. I mean, I think people have exact same
Speaker 2: take with Dustin Johnson a year ago today. You know,
Speaker 2: you know you got rid of his brother us and
Speaker 2: he'd be so well, like who's saying that now?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, also going back to DJ, like I think
Speaker 3: people with DJ don't understand that, Like DJ doesn't want
Speaker 3: somebody to club him, like he's a first instinct. He
Speaker 3: commits right off the bat, and like, don't try to
Speaker 3: talk him off of a shot after he's already decided
Speaker 3: his head.
Speaker 2: So much of caddying and being a good caddy is
Speaker 2: knowing what to say and when to say.
Speaker 3: And or it's almost knowing what not to say, yeah exactly,
Speaker 3: not to say exactly.
Speaker 2: It's understanding like how to interact with your player and
Speaker 2: get the best out. So like when it comes like Rory,
Speaker 2: it says on the player as much as the caddy
Speaker 2: when it comes to picking clubs. You know, I do
Speaker 2: notice that Rory does like just airmail greens more than
Speaker 2: seemingly more than any other player in golf.
Speaker 1: Effect of him being.
Speaker 3: That much more I don't want to say explosive, but
Speaker 3: like that just having that much more pom, yeah, having pop.
Speaker 2: So I always think that the best ball strikers, So like,
Speaker 2: if you watch Sergio all day tomorrow, like he very
Speaker 2: rarely misses numbers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like which is interesting too because you would think
Speaker 3: Sergio would have I mean, I guess because he plays
Speaker 3: that cut, he probably has a little bit better distance.
Speaker 2: But watch Sergio, watch Adam Scott, watch I mean Justin Rose.
Speaker 2: Like the best ball strikers in the world are the
Speaker 2: best at distance control, because like, you know, how many
Speaker 2: times do you hit shots on the golf course where
Speaker 2: you think it's right next to the flag and it's
Speaker 2: either ten feet or ten yards shorter long and then
Speaker 2: you're you're like, wow, that's way further. And then how
Speaker 2: many do you hit one fifteen feet left and you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm not that close and you get up to it
Speaker 2: and you're like, whoa, I'm really close.
Speaker 1: Yeah what uh? What's out of Scott?
Speaker 2: At speaking in he's three, so so listen.
Speaker 1: He's impressed with him today. He made some he made
Speaker 1: a lot of putts.
Speaker 2: The the pairings tomorrow are kind of it's kind of crazy.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've ever seen anything like it,
Speaker 2: but like let you run down the pairings here real quick,
Speaker 2: from the final group down you've got Rose Garcia, Fowler,
Speaker 2: Speef More, Hoffman, Scott, Charles schwartzel So two defending or
Speaker 2: two two pass champions. Then you go Westwood Peters Like
Speaker 2: that's pretty crazy.
Speaker 3: Bomb threats everywhere, I mean, and a lot of comfortable pairings,
Speaker 3: like dudes are playing with their friends.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be help really, like, you.
Speaker 1: Know, relatively right for scoring.
Speaker 3: I also want to go back and say, listen, you
Speaker 3: know JP, maybe miss club and Rory, but nobody looks
Speaker 3: better in aviators than that guy.
Speaker 1: It's true. I mean, really can't take that away from you, can't.
Speaker 3: I mean, he rocks aviators on the rag and he
Speaker 3: looks like an absolute assassin.
Speaker 2: JP's got a good gig, man, he does. Everybody is
Speaker 2: getting at you about JP needing to get fired because
Speaker 2: everybody wants JP's gig.
Speaker 1: That's right, Yeah, yeah, I mean trying to the spot
Speaker 1: people that.
Speaker 3: Have no no, no dog in the fight.
Speaker 2: All right, So what do you guys think is the
Speaker 2: furthest back? Do you think guys that even could could
Speaker 2: have could win if they shot like a just a
Speaker 2: ridiculous round could win Rory? Is that even?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Man, I think that these guys I think Rory's gonna
Speaker 3: go out and he's gonna like no, I think because
Speaker 3: I think that of all these guys, one of these
Speaker 3: six in the final three groups is gonna shoot sixty
Speaker 3: eight or sixty nine.
Speaker 1: There's too many guys.
Speaker 3: Like someone's gonna go low enough to get out, you know, above,
Speaker 3: like a seven under, you know, and like you can't
Speaker 3: get to seven from even somebody, well somebody that even yeah,
Speaker 3: like somebody would have to go out and shoot sixty two,
Speaker 3: sixty two or sixty three.
Speaker 2: I think, you know, today's low score was sixty seven.
Speaker 2: I got. I got a feeling we're looking at eight
Speaker 2: or nine under as the winner tomorrow. I don't know,
Speaker 2: though it could it could go to ten too, but.
Speaker 1: I think I think, yeah, I think eight's a playoff.
Speaker 1: Nine's out right, it's uh.
Speaker 2: I think that there's a serious playoff can possibility tomorrow.
Speaker 1: It'd be sweet love it?
Speaker 2: What's it? What's your worst case outcome? Here?
Speaker 3: Tron, you said it before dinner, he said, Justin Rose wins.
Speaker 3: I just I don't like I feel so bad disliking
Speaker 3: Justin Rose, but he is just the lightiest fastard on
Speaker 3: the planet.
Speaker 1: Like everybody's like, Oh, he's the nicest guy in the world.
Speaker 1: I know that. I know that Queen's English sunglasses, and
Speaker 1: it just offends my sense of I feel like, you
Speaker 1: don't like dodgy stodgy guy.
Speaker 2: You don't like hot Charle either, thought.
Speaker 1: Charles just I like Charles. That guy beats the ball up.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: I'm a big hot Charle fan too.
Speaker 3: A great nickname. By the way, I haven't heard that's
Speaker 3: the first time i've heard that. It's special.
Speaker 2: I think he's got he's got a good shot.
Speaker 1: Eighth grade, eighth grade, Neil would love that. The hot Charles.
Speaker 3: I mean, all right, so you were shooting on on
Speaker 3: Sergio's body language speaking.
Speaker 1: Sergio made those.
Speaker 3: Big potts there and then you know he he gave
Speaker 3: it an I fist pump on a I know, okay,
Speaker 3: but coming up like he hit swing sixteen, he was
Speaker 3: just like he just feels like I can't do it.
Speaker 3: Like it's almost like he could see he's like waiting
Speaker 3: for himself to mess it up, and he didn't, And
Speaker 3: I'm happy he didn't. I just want to see him
Speaker 3: like embrace the moment again, like, dude, go out and graduate.
Speaker 3: What happened to Rom today? Like, I feel like the
Speaker 3: Thumb any of his shots after thirteen, Well, he's at
Speaker 3: even the three?
Speaker 2: Are you? Are you talking about the thumb? Randy's uh yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe the best nickname I've I've heard in a while.
Speaker 1: Who's the McRib playing with tomorrow?
Speaker 2: He's got a day two with with Coach.
Speaker 3: Because that's why they're both shooting even par because they're
Speaker 3: evening the pop out like they both of them seventy
Speaker 3: one today.
Speaker 2: Tron, Who's happen in day two? You you predicted an
Speaker 2: evaporation yesterday?
Speaker 1: A vaporis istion vapor? I think.
Speaker 3: I think the mcribs gonna if we're playing a NASA,
Speaker 3: the mcribs gonna just eviscerate him on the front nine
Speaker 3: and then Kosh will probably come back and.
Speaker 2: Lay up on thirteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, all.
Speaker 3: Right, So talking about thirteen and fifteen, I feel like
Speaker 3: CBS just completely loses the plot when there's like the
Speaker 3: leaders are playing eight and nine and some of the
Speaker 3: guys in contention start hitting twelve and thirteen like they
Speaker 3: have no clue how to juggle the two. At first,
Speaker 3: we don't see any t shots whatsoever on thirteen. We
Speaker 3: don't see approaches into thirteen. We don't see a lot
Speaker 3: of the approaches into fifteen either.
Speaker 2: I feel like the problem though.
Speaker 1: Bad camera suck on the ball, they need.
Speaker 2: To get shot. There's no shot tracer.
Speaker 1: Well that well, that's the masters are there, that's Augusta.
Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, I guess you said, don't don't give
Speaker 3: us that technology.
Speaker 1: We don't want that. Get that, Get that out of here.
Speaker 2: The other issue, like is I just think that there's
Speaker 2: too many guys in the thick of.
Speaker 3: It for that, you know, But that wouldn't like on
Speaker 3: an NBC broadcast, that wouldn't be a problem because they'd
Speaker 3: be they would be showing rapid fire golf, whereas CBS
Speaker 3: they spends twenty seconds setting up every shot and then
Speaker 3: they they insist on showing every putt that everybody in
Speaker 3: contention is hitting, when really I would much rather see
Speaker 3: the shots that set those putts up and then show
Speaker 3: me the putts and rapid fire sequence.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean.
Speaker 3: Literally today, it was like every other sentence out out
Speaker 3: of the commentator's mouths were this this just a moment ago,
Speaker 3: you know, this this just just.
Speaker 1: A few seconds ago. Like it was.
Speaker 3: It was so over the top as far as you know,
Speaker 3: I get that they're trying to be credible and saying
Speaker 3: what's live and what's not, but knowing like looking at
Speaker 3: it on the app and everything, almost nothing that they're
Speaker 3: showing is live. So don't even don't even bother telling
Speaker 3: us what was a minute ago and what wasn't, just
Speaker 3: to show it all as live as possible.
Speaker 2: I feel like they need to have like almost like
Speaker 2: I don't know what the solution. They need to have
Speaker 2: more screens going or more channels, like you know, like
Speaker 2: with the with the apps, it helps a lot, but
Speaker 2: it's so it's just so hard. I don't I don't
Speaker 2: know if there's anything they can do. There's too much golf.
Speaker 3: No, you know what the solution is, it's yeah, it's
Speaker 3: doing something like you know when when when like NBC
Speaker 3: is not afraid to do a split screen, they're not
Speaker 3: afraid to do a picture and picture.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: What you need to do is have the regular they're broadcast,
Speaker 3: and then for people who are die hard fans, you
Speaker 3: need to hire the guy that does Red Zone for
Speaker 3: NFL and do like a red Zone Master's telecast or
Speaker 3: a red Zone Saturday Sunday telecast where it's just rapid fire.
Speaker 1: He's switching between everything.
Speaker 3: It's one guy and they're just showing a ton of
Speaker 3: golf shots boom boom, boom, boom boom, instead of instead
Speaker 3: of trying to spoon feed everything to everybody and set
Speaker 3: up a narrative.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the end of the day. They're just
Speaker 2: trying to set up those narratives. They CBS loves their narratives.
Speaker 1: No, they're obsessed.
Speaker 2: So it's I mean, it's just it's it's tricky, man,
Speaker 2: It's I don't know if there's any any good. So
Speaker 2: I think it's such a difference when Spee's running away
Speaker 2: or it's two guys versus this year, where there's you know,
Speaker 2: ten guys to keep track of. Who are you disappointed
Speaker 2: in today? Outside of Phil.
Speaker 3: Well said, I was a little bit disappointed in Rory
Speaker 3: just I mean, I guess he was getting pissed on
Speaker 3: the street.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who I was disappointed. Thomas Peters.
Speaker 3: I thought he was gonna charge a little bit and
Speaker 3: then he started getting you know, down on himself on
Speaker 3: eight to nine and they dropped him from coverage.
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna step up a little bit,
Speaker 1: and he didn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my boy, what about you?
Speaker 1: I like him. I like him him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I felt like he just he caught
Speaker 2: a lot of edges today. He just didn't. He never
Speaker 2: got any positive mo going, you know, so much.
Speaker 3: He hit some good putts that just didn't go in,
Speaker 3: missed on the high side.
Speaker 2: He had that three put on eleven from like three
Speaker 2: feet that just killed him. But you know, I, I
Speaker 2: I think, uh Rory is just he's just uh, I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: He's so frustrated.
Speaker 2: He had that he hit it tight on eleven, you know,
Speaker 2: and he had that four or five Twitter for Birdie
Speaker 2: there and I was like, all right, this is where
Speaker 2: he gets going, because you know, you Bertie eleven, all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you turn, you're picking up a shot
Speaker 2: in a half instead of just a shot. And he
Speaker 2: misses that, and then you know he doesn't He didn't
Speaker 2: make Bertie on fifteen. He hit the drive and drives
Speaker 2: in fairway on on thirteen and fifteen didn't make Bertie.
Speaker 1: You know, he was like thirteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then on fifteen he had an unreal chip
Speaker 2: up to four feet and missed the pott. It's just,
Speaker 2: you know, it's such an interesting thing to look at.
Speaker 2: You know, everybody says putting doesn't matter and like, you
Speaker 2: know this era, but like I can't think of a
Speaker 2: better tale of two players than Jordan Speith and Rory
Speaker 2: McElroy and how you know, especially at a so where
Speaker 2: I think that's where putting is kind of it matters
Speaker 2: with those four to eight foot.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like you know what, everything matters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I feel like both sides are kind of overplayed.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know what, you got to do everything well.
Speaker 3: And I thought it was interesting today speed Speet almost
Speaker 3: hit in the water and eleven, which I was like, damn,
Speaker 3: Like that was not that was a I mean he
Speaker 3: had to have pulled that ten fifteen yards left to
Speaker 3: even be flirting with that water.
Speaker 2: It's uh, you know this he's but that's the thing.
Speaker 2: He made it. He aimed where he needed to. If
Speaker 2: he hit a terrible shot, he's still safe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that was the one shot that he hit
Speaker 3: today where he shouldn't. He was on the borderline of
Speaker 3: not being safe. He was almost in the water there.
Speaker 2: He you know, he didn't finish outs as much love
Speaker 2: as every but it was given it. He didn't finish
Speaker 2: that round out. You know, he had the three put
Speaker 2: on sixteen he he had. I thought for a second,
Speaker 2: I was like, he's gonna get to six.
Speaker 3: Well everybody was like fully erect after his wedge into
Speaker 3: into fifteen, and they should have been yeah, but then yeah,
Speaker 3: but then after that it was kind of whatever.
Speaker 1: That was stimulating, So how about how about uh? How
Speaker 1: about like CBS didn't even show Rose.
Speaker 3: Until like fourteen or fifteen, Like, I don't think we
Speaker 3: saw Rose.
Speaker 2: I was thinking the same thing, and then I was
Speaker 2: I was looking at his round. He birdied five of
Speaker 2: his last seven, like.
Speaker 1: I would have no idea, So he didn't look at
Speaker 1: his scorecard.
Speaker 2: He was just like puttson around. He was like right
Speaker 2: around par and then he just went on this crazy
Speaker 2: run at the end.
Speaker 3: So I just feel like they had to they had
Speaker 3: to make a decision, like do we show Rose or
Speaker 3: Adam Scott? Yeah, because I feel like we saw a
Speaker 3: ton of Adam Scott Potts today.
Speaker 1: Relatively like the.
Speaker 3: Kind of the middle of the round, and then at
Speaker 3: the end of they were like, oh, ship, we chose
Speaker 3: the wrong guy, like and they and they scrambled to
Speaker 3: show a ton of Justin Roses.
Speaker 1: Shots down the stretch. Ye shots yeah, yeah, puts.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But that's the big takeaway is just they they just
Speaker 1: love showing.
Speaker 2: The So what do you I want to dive into, uh,
Speaker 2: dive into some matchups here we'll we'll get some rapid fire,
Speaker 2: get some get some predictions out of you guys. You
Speaker 2: know that it sets up well. So you guys have
Speaker 2: are you you're both on team Sergio for the win?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: All right, yes, I got so in order of confidence,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say Sergio. I'm gonna say Sergio rictator speed.
Speaker 3: I find myself, like you know, you gotta gotta test
Speaker 3: yourself sometimes where you just like gut Field and some
Speaker 3: one was putting like do you want to see that
Speaker 3: ball go in?
Speaker 1: And you can't, Like I'm with Ricky. I want to
Speaker 1: see it go in, like I'm rooting for him, you know,
Speaker 1: like I want to see Ricky or Sergia win. I
Speaker 1: have those are my top two. I have a quick
Speaker 1: I have a quick Ricky take. I forgot to say
Speaker 1: this earlier. If I have to hear one more time.
Speaker 3: That he showed up two and a half hours before
Speaker 3: his tea time to watch the Arnie Tribute on Thursday,
Speaker 3: like that's fair, Like how how early do these guys
Speaker 3: show up?
Speaker 1: Anyway? Two hours?
Speaker 3: They must of them show up two hours for so
Speaker 3: he showed up half an hour earlier than he normally
Speaker 3: would have and walked out to the first tea, sat
Speaker 3: there for ten maybe fifteen minutes, watched it like I'm not,
Speaker 3: I'm not. This is not a slight at Ricky. It's
Speaker 3: a slight. It like Jim nance for pimping it every
Speaker 3: opportunity that he gets, Like, let's not lionize the guy for.
Speaker 1: Doing yes something.
Speaker 2: A lot of those guys there early and they go
Speaker 2: get there, they go there's like you know, they have like.
Speaker 3: Mobile trail, they've got gear, Like why wouldn't you show
Speaker 3: up early?
Speaker 2: They've got mobile.
Speaker 3: It's an absolute like cornucopia of pampering yourself at these tournaments.
Speaker 3: I can only imagine that it's even better at Augusta.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, who wouldn't want to hang out there for.
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm tired of It's just like like when
Speaker 3: Ricky played at bay Hill a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Good on Ricky for playing at bay Hill, but like
Speaker 3: for for them to just dap him up like crazy
Speaker 3: for having Arnold Palmer themed shoes on that Kuma designed
Speaker 3: and just gave to him to wear. Like I get it,
Speaker 3: Like Ricky's a good guy. I think he's probably the
Speaker 3: closest approximation to Arnold, you know, probably like Phil and
Speaker 3: Ricky are the two closest approximations stood like Arnie as
Speaker 3: far as interacting with the fans and getting it in
Speaker 3: that regard.
Speaker 1: But like let's not like, let's not go overboard with
Speaker 1: it either.
Speaker 2: Well I think I think Ricky uh is also like
Speaker 2: the most marketing conscious player out there, oh for sure.
Speaker 2: So like they like the fact calculated, Yeah, the fact
Speaker 2: like four years ago he was getting paid like thirty
Speaker 2: million dollars and marketing deals a year or thirty million
Speaker 2: dollars in marketing year is a deal. Like he he
Speaker 2: gets how to portray himself to the public to maximize
Speaker 2: his earnings off the course, and like that is a move.
Speaker 2: Like I'm not trying to say that this is like
Speaker 2: a business move, but these all these moves are excellent
Speaker 2: moves at you know, hyping your public appeal which ups
Speaker 2: your marketing dollars.
Speaker 3: I think with Ricky he's genuinely he genuinely cares there's
Speaker 3: like they're you know, it's it's not it's not fake.
Speaker 3: But by the same level, he's being guided in the
Speaker 3: right directions, they're making it easy for him to make
Speaker 3: these decisions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's you know, it's understanding that you do
Speaker 2: these things. Like I think, like the perfect example is
Speaker 2: that is how Bubba constantly does the wrong thing, and
Speaker 2: a guy like Grayson Murray young in his career constantly
Speaker 2: seems to do the wrong thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but would we talk would we be talking about
Speaker 3: Grayson Murray if he was doing the right thing. No, No,
Speaker 3: So that's a calculated we were doing the wrong thing,
Speaker 3: you know. So my phone's gonna go dead here?
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Hey, well.
Speaker 1: A couple of props.
Speaker 2: All right, what do you got?
Speaker 1: Ron Peters, I'm gonna go ro I go Peters.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna go with the thumb.
Speaker 1: I can't put my finger on it.
Speaker 2: Casey her west Wood, Oh, Casey west Wood, I got ride.
Speaker 2: I gotta ride my boy with your boy. I gotta
Speaker 2: I gotta find another bet to make with DJ tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Now that I am playing with House money.
Speaker 1: House, you can you can carry this?
Speaker 3: Why I feel like case is a pretty good final
Speaker 3: round player though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he like I feel like he's a guy that
Speaker 2: could go out and shoot sixty six and you know,
Speaker 2: just be going back.
Speaker 3: To your question about who I'm most disappointed at. I'm
Speaker 3: most disappointed in Leashman. I had really really high hopes
Speaker 3: for him.
Speaker 2: That he got absolutely he got absolutely ejected on fifteen
Speaker 2: did you.
Speaker 1: See my teat viscerated.
Speaker 2: His balld This guy he chipped it into the water
Speaker 2: from like the pin high. But yeah, and then we'll
Speaker 2: do uh, we'll do one here. Uh, your boy jj
Speaker 2: Day against he's got some oh justin Thomas, that's a
Speaker 2: pairing early pairing.
Speaker 1: Oh is that a pairing?
Speaker 4: Yeah, spicy, Uh that should be a laser show versus
Speaker 4: solid JT.
Speaker 3: Just because I think I think, I think jj DA
Speaker 3: is going to be a little bit exhausted Hills Jason
Speaker 3: Day because there'll be nobody watching, no pressure on so
Speaker 3: I'll just go out and ball. I think he's gonna
Speaker 3: have it's he's got no pressure on him right now.
Speaker 2: All right, Tront and Neil's phone died, So that's it.
Speaker 2: Enjoy your Sunday masters, and we'll be back soon. Thanks.
