Just finished watching the Open and despondent 13 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: might be strong, but I had several shackles on Rory. 14 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: Uh that would have paid out handsomely And I'm not 15 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: gonna lie at around the turn, I started, uh, what's 16 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: the saying, goes, I started counting my chickens before they hatched, 17 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: and um, they obviously didn't all hatch because Rory not 18 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: only did not win, he finished third. The Mangi Dog 19 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: the ozzyzzy Azzi camp Smith with just a I mean 20 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: he had he shot sixty four and two of his 21 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: last three rounds.

We have 27 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: a golf podcast UH tomorrow. Then on Tuesday we will 28 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: have Andrew Whitworth, and then on Thursday we will have 29 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: Cam Hayward, which I recorded both those interviews last week. 30 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: Guys are studs, so what the football all stuff coming. 31 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: I will be in um a lovely lake Tahoe for 32 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: the week, so everyone have a good week. But I 33 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: got some content for you. I'm empowering this thing through 34 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: UH and into the mike, into the into my computer 35 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: before I take off here in an hour. But like 36 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: I said at golopod, firing those d m You know, 37 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: I was thinking about the Open for this podcast really 38 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: for like three straight days because how would Rory not 39 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,119 Speaker 1: win the Open? It just felt like the Gulf Gods. 40 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: It was just too perfect. Think about the symbolism that 41 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: on on Friday afternoon, I guess it was morning for us, 42 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: but Friday afternoon, Friday, middle of the day. I guess 43 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: when Tiger Woods was finishing, you know, it wasn't gonna 44 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: He's missed the cut by a mile. Walking down eighteen 45 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: and getting the huge ovation. Rory was on hole one 46 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: and he tipped his hat and you're like, this is 47 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: you can't make this stuff up. He's gonna run away 48 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: with it. And then today he's playing with Hovln Hovland 49 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: kind of starts on a part and he has a 50 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: multiple shot lead. Halfway through his round. You're like, Rory 51 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: McElroy is gonna win his fifth major. He's gonna win 52 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: at St. Andrew's. It's gonna be incredible. And then the 53 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: Mangi dog Ozzy azy Azzi. People often say in golf 54 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: that ball striking travels. It's like a run game or 55 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: defense in football, and I agree, like, if you can 56 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: hit the ball well, you can hit it well in 57 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: any conditions. But to me, one thing, and I think 58 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: this much more translates for all golfers. A short game 59 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: really translates being able to get up and down from 60 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: all over the place. We all have a friend, we 61 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: all play golf with people that they might be a 62 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: ten handicap, they might be a scratch golfer if they 63 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: have a great short game, like they can score they 64 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if they're off the fairway, it doesn't matter 65 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: how they're hitting their irons. If your short game is awesome, 66 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: like you can get you can get on fire, especially 67 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: if you're playing well. And that's what we've seen two 68 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: of these last three days with cam Smith. And ultimately, 69 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: if you have thirty six pots in a day as 70 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: a professional golfer, honestly, it's remarkable that Rory shot two under. 71 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: He had thirty six putts to put in every single hole. 72 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: He could not buy a put to me really these 73 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: last two days outside like he didn't hit any of 74 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: them and definitely like the last four or five holes. 75 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: As again, someone that had a massive, massive wager on Rory, 76 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: like I didn't have that much confidence once he fell 77 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: a shot behind because every time that he would get 78 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: like have an eighteen foot Bertie putt, it was not 79 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: gonna go in and he knew it before he putted it. 80 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: And it's just one of those days. And putting can 81 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: be a little random with most guys. For Cam Smith, 82 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: like the guy makes everything he does not miss his 83 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: short game is. I mean it's different, uh, because Phil 84 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: really hung his hat on the flop shot, but his 85 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: touch like it's kind of Phil like he dominates around 86 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: the green and obviously on this course because you can 87 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: put everything. He just put on a clinic and Rory like, 88 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: Roy didn't play that bad. He I just watched his 89 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: post round press conference. He's like, I didn't hit it 90 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: that bad. I just could not make a putt. And 91 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: if you're not gonna make a putt on Sunday, the 92 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: reason we all consider Tiger Woods the goat because when 93 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: he had to do it in big moments, consistently on 94 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: Sundays throughout his entire career, regular tournaments, majors, you name it, 95 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: he made long putts. He made putts when he had 96 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: to do it. Roy has had an awesome season, right, 97 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: finished second at the Masters, then his top ten in 98 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: the other majors. Obviously, somehow he didn't finish second in this. 99 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: But he basically to me, you know, he was right 100 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: in this, like he was he him and Cam Young, right, 101 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: and really Cam Young eagles the the eighteenth hole today 102 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: to ultimately one up Rory, But I mean, come on, 103 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: he just could not make a putt, and he's had 104 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: a remarkable career. He's an all time legend. I mean, 105 00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: this thing was playing out to go. Roy McElroy turned 106 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: his season around, turned his career around where it felt 107 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,119 Speaker 1: like he became a dominant player again. Then he led 108 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: the charge to fight the live guys, and then he's 109 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: gonna win at St. Andrews. It would have been one 110 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: of the great seasons for any golfer of all time. Like, 111 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: given the impact that he's had on the sport, Like 112 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: he's had better individual seasons in terms of winning. Obviously 113 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: he's winning multiple majors in the same season, but I 114 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: would say this is the most important season of his 115 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: career if he had one, which obviously he didn't, And 116 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: you just he's so close, And I honestly had the 117 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: thought like, after this, could he have a season where 118 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: he wins a couple of majors? I thought today when 119 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: I was going to pick up breakfast and he had 120 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: a two shot lead, I'm like, Roy's gonna be like 121 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: six to one next year going into the Masters, and 122 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: he'll still be the heavy favorite. But like, let's face it, 123 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: when the dust settled, Rory was a very very important 124 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: person to this season. Uh, he had some incredible moments 125 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: the sand shot on eighteen at a US to the 126 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: majority of this week, but he's had the third best 127 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: season on tour, like cam Smith now has entered the 128 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler territory. Right, I thought that Scottie Scheffler was 129 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: a stone cold lock to be the player of the year, 130 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: and it may still play out that way. Uh what 131 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: he finished today, you know, he fell off a little bit. 132 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: Scotty shot seventy four today, so he t T twenty one. 133 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: But he's he was I think top five in every 134 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: major and he won the Masters and obviously won three 135 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: other tournaments like US four wins and the Masters. Well, 136 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: cam Smith is the Players champion and he's the Open champion. 137 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: Like I think it's a conversation those two guys have 138 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: had the two best seasons and sometimes just the nature 139 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: of how we think about life. Right, what have you 140 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: done for me lately? Not that Scotty has been bad, 141 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: I mean he almost he could have won the U 142 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: S Open what a month ago. But it's hard like 143 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: watching cam Smith this year. I mean he was in 144 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: the final group at the Masters with Scotty Scheffler, Like 145 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: those two guys. When I think about two thousand twenty two, 146 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: I'll think about two things, those guys seasons and kind 147 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: of Rory and JT fighting to live guys. But ultimately Rory, 148 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: like we judge him, and this is like Tom Brady, 149 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: like Nick Saban. There are small amount of people where 150 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: it's super Bowl or bust, Championship or bust, Major winner 151 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: or bust, like Roy doesn't play for second or third, 152 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: Like it's it's money for him and it's just another 153 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: notch on his belt, but it's kind of irrelevant. Like 154 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: the only way he truly gets credit because of how 155 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: good he is, because of the bar he set is 156 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: when he wins. Like for Cam Smith, this was a 157 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: historic moment, his first major champion. When your short game 158 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: is that good, I don't see how he doesn't win 159 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: more majors like him and Scottie Scheffler are just not 160 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: going away. And Rory for the majority of this week, 161 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I would say the last two decades, when 162 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: the guys have their A game, Obviously Tiger and Phil 163 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: are the best two players of the last years. I 164 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: think when Rory had his A game, he's the third 165 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: best player of that generation. Just in terms of stylistically 166 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: of watching him play, of how pure he is just 167 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: a total package, and the other guys you would throw 168 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: in that mix was Jordan's. Jordan was really more of 169 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: a grinder and an incredible putter. DJ pretty boring player. 170 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: Brooks got hot. Got news for you. We often like 171 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: all these live guys gonna mailed in. No Bryson is not. 172 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: No DJ is not Brooks might have Brooks might be 173 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: over it, Like I think we had a hell of 174 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: a career. Brooks might just go to a relevancy now, 175 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, And he might not care 176 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: because he even like golf. Who knows, But I do 177 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: think that Rory has got his swag back. But he's 178 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: gotta win like he just like Tom Brady doesn't like 179 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: He doesn't care if he makes the playoffs like Rory 180 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: to finish third like that just it doesn't do it 181 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: for anybody, including himself. That's not why he enters these 182 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: tournaments at this point in time in his career. It's 183 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: about racket up majors. And I still believe that he 184 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: can get to six seven majors, but it shows you 185 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: how hard it is. And to me, I was thinking 186 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: about this watching Cam Smith and and for a large 187 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: period time Scotti Scheffler was right in the mix those guys, 188 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: and it's rare. I grew up. I was born in 189 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: and I started playing golf in the early nineties. Well, 190 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: the technology was terrible. Now, I didn't play with per Simmons, 191 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: but the woods and the technology was nothing like it 192 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: is today. A lot of people playing, the older players 193 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: talk about it about using a softer ball. I use 194 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: a t P five X now, a tailor made ball. 195 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: That ball there was nothing remotely like that golf ball 196 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: in the mid nineties. To play golf at a high 197 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: level in the mid nineties and before, you had to 198 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: be an incredible player, to be a pro golfer. You 199 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: had to be able to work the ball. You had 200 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: to be consisting of contact. Now the technology has changed 201 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: the game, obviously how far they hit it. A lot 202 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: of guys believe that it's the ball as much it 203 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: is the clubs, and we eventually might get a rollback 204 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: of the ball. That's a huge push from a lot 205 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: of the golf elitist to roll back the ball. But 206 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: I know that Scotty Scheffler and definitely Cam Smith, those guys, 207 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: and this can't be said for every guy. It just 208 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: cannot could play in any era because they are artists, 209 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: Like they shape the ball. Look, they can hit phase, 210 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: they can hit draws, they obviously can work the ball 211 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: around the green. Like those guys are proper players. Now, 212 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean they're the best player, and honestly, their 213 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: game would probably translate historically when the technology was way 214 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: shittier in the fifties and sixties, maybe even more than Rory's. 215 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: Like Rory has benefited a lot from the technology. Now. 216 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: You could argue he's just one of the purest drivers 217 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: of the golf ball we've ever seen. But he's also 218 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: using drivers that like didn't even come close to existing 219 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: years ago. That's what's so crazy about tiger Woods, right, 220 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: He dominated in so many different eras with technology. We 221 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: saw him dominate in the nineties with the crap of technology. 222 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: We saw him when the Masters in two thousand, nineteen 223 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: forty four years old, like he could do it all. 224 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: Why because he could do everything, same thing with Phil 225 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: We just don't know. And it's always a huge argument 226 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: when we talk with athletes about the older generations. It's 227 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: impossible to know. It's one of the great hypotheticals that 228 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: can never actually be answered. Right, could Quentin Nelson block 229 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: mean Joe Green? Could Larry Bird and Lebron James? Who 230 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: would win in the Celtics play in some of those 231 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: calves teams? Could Steph Curry play against Michael Jordan's Those 232 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: are great conversations. We will never get it answered. What 233 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: would Jack Nicholas and Lee Trevino look like with the 234 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: technology now? Well, what would Rory dj and some of 235 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: these guys look like if they played in the sixties. 236 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: We can argue until we're blow in the face, but 237 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: we'll never get an answer. But I do think it 238 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: is fair to watch a guy and go that would translate, 239 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: that would work. And when you watch Cam Smith, how 240 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: fucking awesome he is with a wedge or a putter 241 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: in his hand that translates any era, any ball, any club. 242 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: His touch is remarkable, his play like it was mind 243 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: blowing today. The guy could not miss, and you know what, 244 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 1: typically when he's on, he doesn't miss. He's one of 245 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: the best putters easily on tour right now. But like 246 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: his hot streak. I've been watching golf for a couple 247 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: of decades when he's on like that's as good as 248 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: it gets. Who are some of historically some of the 249 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: best putters, right, Brad Faxton, Uh, Steve Stricker, you know 250 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: some guys, I mean some of the you know, guys 251 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: that don't hit it as far. Kissinger was, Brian Harmon, 252 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: some of the you know, some of the scrappier guys 253 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: on tour. Ricky was for a long period of time, 254 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: Jordans had his moments like that's what camp Smith's doing, 255 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: And I don't it doesn't feel like he's just kind 256 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: of hot. He's just riding away like that's kind of 257 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: his game. He's not mr Like honestly, the knock on 258 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: his game as he can be a little squarely off 259 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: the tea, can't we all? But you win the players 260 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: and you win the Open in the same year. Damn man, 261 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: what what a what a freaking season from camp Smith? 262 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: And honestly, what a week. I've never been uh played 263 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 1: golf overseas. I actually went with my dad in New Zealand. 264 00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: He used to go on fishing trips and I went 265 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: when I was twel of and we played golf. But 266 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't really count that. But I've 267 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: never played golf, never been over there. The only links 268 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: golf I've really ever played his Banded Dunes for my 269 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: brothers bachelor party three or four years ago, and it 270 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: was it was awesome, it was I honestly probably didn't 271 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: enjoy it enough. I can't wait to go back. But 272 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: you watch this weekend and you go.

I I say 305 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: it all the time, like my relationship with golf is 306 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: so much different than my relationship with football. And I 307 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: love football, so do a lot of people, and I've 308 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: made a living working in it and now talking about it. 309 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: But I will never get the opportunity to play at Lambeau. 310 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: No one will unless you play in the NFL. In 311 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: the overwhelming majority of human beings, if even if they 312 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: play football growing up, the last time that they ever 313 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: play the sport is in high school, then a small 314 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: small percentage play in college, and then obviously a miniscule 315 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: amount of people, tiny, tiny group played professionally. Yet golf, 316 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: whether you start it when you're five years old or 317 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: you pick up your first club at fifty five, you 318 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: can play the courses that the pros play, And honestly, 319 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: it's one of the only activity sports do you really 320 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: can play until the day you can't really walk till 321 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 1: the day you die. That is not the case with 322 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: all the other major sports, and it's definitely not the 323 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: case with the other sport. That means so much to 324 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: me because we don't play football as we grow up. 325 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: We just it's not in the cards for anyone. Hell, 326 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: even professional football players, most of them are out of 327 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: the league by the time they're thirty. They never get 328 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: to play another snap after then. These are guys that 329 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: make it to the pros. Yet in golf, we can 330 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: watch St. Andrews, we can watch Pebble Beach. Obviously, there 331 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: are some courses that you know, who knows if I'll 332 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: ever get the opportunity to go play Augusta right. There 333 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: are some country clubs that we just may never have 334 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: access to. But there are a large percentage of courses 335 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: like last year the US Open Tory Pines. Anyone can 336 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: play it, and whether you're sixty five years old or 337 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: whether you're eighteen years old, you can play the courses 338 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: that these guys play. And I think one of the 339 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: coolest trips in America or the world. Excuse me, if 340 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: you are a golfer has to be going to Scotland 341 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: and Ireland and playing the Links golf. Now, the wind 342 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: they got this week would be ideal. Do I When 343 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: I went Abandoned Dunes, there were days when it was 344 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 1: like fifty mile winds. It was outrageous and under no 345 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: circumstances when I ever play under those conditions, unless I 346 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: was playing Links golf, and you could go to the Open, 347 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: you could go to some of these other courses if 348 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: they play Carnewski Royal St. George, obviously they have other 349 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: courses around there that just look remarkable, that just look fun, 350 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: that just look like you can enjoy yourself and think 351 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: about what that town is. It's just booze and golf. 352 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: Now I get it. If you're not a golfer, you 353 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: couldn't understand and you won't get it. But for those 354 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: of us that are. I don't know if there's a 355 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: heaven or there's a hell, but while we're alive, you 356 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: know you could are you if you love golf, that's 357 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: as close to get to heaven as you can get 358 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: going over there. I know people that have been there. 359 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: They just say, it's mind blowing, it's freaking awesome. You finish, 360 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: you go to the jigger in and you get a beer, 361 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: you get a Guinness, and it's, like I said, we 362 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: get to do it as we age, and we can't 363 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: say you don't get to Even if you're a baseball player, 364 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: you're playing fast pitch when you're fifty years old. Most 365 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: people retire from playing pick up basketball because they don't 366 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 1: want to tear an achilles, you know. And that's the 367 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: cool part about golf. You get to play and you 368 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: get to go like, God, I can relate to Rory 369 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: not making a putt. God, I don't know how cam 370 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: Smith just did that. I could never hit that chip. Honestly, 371 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods has become very relatable in his older age, 372 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: spraying shots, missing putts. He is, He's closer to the 373 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: every man golfer. He has all these injuries, he has 374 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: aches and pains, obviously some of him self inflicted. But 375 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: I I was blown away a by how cool this 376 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: weekend was. And listen, we we talked a lot of 377 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: shit about some of the random tournaments throughout the year 378 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: that just turned into birdie fests that just guys birdie, birdie, birdie, 379 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: birdie under eighteen under under and it does get boring 380 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: twenty under one. This nine guys were going low left 381 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: and right, and it never felt that way. It never 382 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: felt like it was easy, even though when you shoot 383 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 1: sixty or shoot twenty twenty under par and you have 384 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: three of your four rounds or sixty seven, sixty four 385 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: and sixty four. I'm not saying it was easy, but 386 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: he make cam Smith made it look relatively easy, but 387 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: it never felt that way watching it, and that's you 388 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: just don't get that in at the highest level anymore. 389 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: With how good these guys are, honestly, can become monotonous, 390 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: it can become boring, and that style of golf just 391 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: isn't it's exciting, it's riveting. You're on the seat of 392 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: your pants, you know. Uh so, especially if you have 393 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: a ticket on Rory to win. For those of you 394 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: that had camp Smith, congratulations, Uh very very cool week. 395 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to hit on a couple of other things. 396 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: Live had a pretty good week. I mean, Dustin Johnson 397 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: finished sixth. Bryson d. Shambo might have had the sneakiest 398 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: top ten you've ever seen over the weekend. Bryson sixties seven, 399 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: sixty six. Shout eleven under on the weekend, Like, that's 400 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: a pretty good week. Speth just had another good week, 401 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: finished top ten. Tommy Flute was playing really good golf. Hoveland. 402 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: Do you know the craziest part about Victor hovelind is 403 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: you saw it this weekend and really got he got 404 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: a little tight today. It happens. He's young, he's stud 405 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: If Victor Hoblin didn't have to chip, he's basically Scottie 406 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: Scheffler or camp Smith Absolute Stripe Show hits his iron. Listen, 407 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: I don't Colin Morikawa. His resume is much better than 408 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: Victor Hoblind and his short game is just in a 409 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: different stratosphere than Victor. But when I watched Victor hit 410 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: the ball and I watched Colin hit the ball, and 411 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: this isn't I'm not trying to crush Colin. I just go, Yeah, 412 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: that guy hits it better than that guy. And I 413 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: know the stats and shot games approach. I just watched 414 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: Victor Hovlin hit six irons and I watched Colin Morricolo 415 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: hit his irons, and I go, I don't think that 416 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: guy hits a better Now he cannot chip, Well, what 417 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: happened this week? You don't need a chip. It's why 418 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: if you have a bad short game, and I would 419 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: imagine many people that are listening do If you go 420 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: play links golf, you can put everything and you don't 421 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 1: have to bring out a wedge, you don't have to 422 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: bump and run stuff, you don't have to hit. You're 423 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: not hitting sandwiches because you can't stop anything. It's why 424 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: Rory on eight team. And I know that Azinger said that, 425 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: like Sevy or Jack or whatever. The quote is like 426 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: if you want to if you want a two, put 427 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: you know, if if you want to lag something clothes, 428 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: put it. If you want to make it, chip it. 429 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: I would have putted that, like the likelihood of him 430 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: chipping that in. Everyone putted that all week long. Why 431 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: is he chipping it now? Was he gonna make it? 432 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: He hadn't made anything. It was borderline impossible. But you 433 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: gotta put that now. You can say it was too 434 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: too much, too late, whatever, But what was he doing? 435 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: What was he doing? Uh? Cam Young? I don't know 436 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: why Rob Manfred uh is sponsoring Cam Young. But they 437 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: got pretty good pub They a lot of Major League Baseball. 438 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: The brand on the shoulder today or on the sleeve. 439 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: But what a cool weekend. Congratulations to Cam Smith, not 440 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: congratulations to me and Rory. I got very cocky. I 441 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: started cashing my winnings. I started thinking about, like, you know, 442 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: maybe I'll pay like four straight mortgage payments with my winnings. 443 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,719 Speaker 1: Maybe all you know invest in the crypto. You know, 444 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: maybe all who knows, and then it didn't happen, And 445 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: now I'm kind of angry that sucked. But the tournament 446 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: did not suck, but it kind of does when you're 447 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: gambling on the guy that doesn't win who should have won, 448 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: but then he doesn't win. Hopefully everyone is a good week. 449 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: I just wanted to get a little golf content out there. 450 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: Congratulations to Cam Smith Ozzy uzzy Azzi.

I love golf, but 457 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: who even cares? This guy is playing for a lot 458 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: of money. It's it's the PGA Tours live moment. Honestly, 459 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: there's their way to hand out cash and uh, we 460 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 1: don't have a major now.
