When 0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:04.960 I find my ball in the bunker, I'm really upset. 0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:05.920 And when I find my. 0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:09.000 Ball in a fried egg, Friday Egg, the dreaded Friday Egg, 0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:11.960 Frida Egg, Frida Egg, bride Egg. 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.160 Lie, I'm about ready to run off of the course. 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.600 Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back to another edition of the 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:46.239 Friday Egg Podcast. I'm your host and Andy Johnson, and 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:50.360 I'm joined by the Three Man Weave. We've got DJ 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:54.600 Paiehowski from Scratch and Tron Carter from No Laying Up. 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:55.920 Welcome back, guys. 0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:59.880 Thank you Andrew. It's good to be weaving. Good to 0:00:59.920 --> 0:01:01.600 be weaving. Always be weaving. 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.000 Yeah, Tront has been been a little a little while 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.160 since you've been on the pod. Kind of curious it 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:13.399 was a big weekend for you and Bryson. I would 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.120 love to hear your thoughts on H one one transpired. 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:18.360 Well. 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.440 First of all, I feel like my absence from the 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:29.600 pod trans uh coincided with our trip to Fishers when 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.120 I proved myself to be an elite amateur and beat 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.640 you on the golf course and you just you just 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:40.000 can't handle it. Yeah, The John Deere Fifth Major. 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.520 By the way, Tron beating you at Fishers. We don't 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.119 have to talk about you guys' golf games because no. 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:45.600 One gives a ship. 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:49.960 But Tron beating you at Fishers is like Bryson missing 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:51.520 like eight straight cuts. 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:55.960 And then coming out and knocking off a win. Very similar, Bryson. 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.200 We're both elite amateurs, that's true. 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.240 I I wouldn't say I am an elite amateur. I'm 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:04.800 a middling amateur. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:07.000 Let's be honest. 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:08.960 You say you're an e leade amateur pretty often. 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:16.680 So anyways, really good moving on Bryson. 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:22.239 So, first of all, fifth Major. Good week, of course 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.120 was great. I felt the greens were a little bit 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.680 slow on the weekend, but we're not going to nitpick 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:27.680 what was weather like. 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.440 They have a lot of rain early in the week 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.280 times of rain camera. 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:42.480 Yeah yeah, Actually you guys got crushed in Chicago, right, Yeah, 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.160 But anyway, I mean it was it was a good week. 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:50.200 Charles Hell third came out firing. Honestly, Bryson wasn't even 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.680 on my radar screen to start Sunday, like I thought 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.760 he was just gonna So Randy's been just pumping Bryson. 0:02:58.160 --> 0:02:59.519 Probably twelve weeks. 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.799 Now, Hey, guys like Bryson, he's coming, He's coming, He's coming, 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:07.239 and like all of us are like, you're you're insane, dude. 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.239 What's the what's the bet? Every time he missed the cut? 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.360 Every time Bryson misses the cut, Randy has to watch 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.560 one or two episodes of The Wire, which he's like 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.200 always refused to watch. So he's been watching a lot 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.200 of the episodes of The Wire. He's through like two seasons, 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:25.720 like the Sabatkas and everything. So finally, like, you know, 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.799 Bryson just comes through. I took a nap on Sunday 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.240 afternoon and I just figured, like and then I kind 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.440 of checked my phone and like Rogers was running away 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.120 with it, and I was like, I man, like even 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:42.560 Patrick Rodgers can't miss putts and choke this away. Sure enough, 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:46.240 Bryson just comes through and comes out dukes of hazard 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.960 and uh he shot thirty on the back nine. And 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.440 my Mike Bryson thing isn't so much. I don't think 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.920 the guy's a fraud. Like he's obviously a great player. 0:03:56.000 --> 0:04:02.040 He's been uh you know, naa champion, USAM champion. I'm 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.360 not sure he can play outside the Midwest. He hasn't 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.880 proven that yet. I mean, he's won at Aaron Hills, 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:12.160 he won at Olympia Fields, he's won in Cleveland. Those 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:17.120 are pretty much just three big wins. But he's just 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.920 he can't stop talking about how smart he is and. 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.480 How how. 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.080 You know, how unique his mindset is and everything. Just 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.080 go play, man, I've said this on pods before. Just 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:35.720 go play, Like, quit trying to actively piss everybody off, 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.479 and like he doesn't have a whole lot of friends 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:38.560 in our allies out there. 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:43.000 So here's the counterpoint to that, I think is first 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:47.080 of all, I'm all in on Bryson, not in the 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.320 not in the traditional way, I don't think. 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:50.320 And I think when a lot. 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.800 Of people say like, oh, I love that guy, I 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:54.960 think what they mean is like, man, I'd love to 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.799 sit down and like have a beer with that guy. 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.479 And That's not what I'm saying at all. Like we 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.000 seem like very different people. I don't know that we 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.679 would like I don't know that we would necessarily get along, 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:11.280 but I absolutely love just the circus that comes with it, 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:15.040 and as far as like entertainment goes, like watching him 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:19.120 make a backline charge rivaled like Bubba or Poulter or 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.400 any of those guys, Patrick Reid, any of those guys. 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:21.919 Being in the mix. 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.080 And just from a pure like golf fan entertainment standpoint, 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:27.839 it like almost. 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.080 Doesn't get any better, like it's building. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.679 Like imagine if you know, if he gets in contention, 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:33.920 like actually when he was in contention with the Masters, 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.400 like it was awesome, like and who cares like what 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.560 he's doing or or any of that stuff, Like I'm an. 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:41.000 Agreement that golf needs a build. 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:45.080 You brought up all these your word, I don't know 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:49.840 you brought up Poulter, read Bagdad, Jerry, I mean all 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:50.400 these guys. 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.720 Well, and so here's here's the other thing is. 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:59.040 To a degree, all the like science stuff, all that's 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.479 like is not his fault. And I think it's a 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:05.000 bit of him getting sucked into the narratives you guys 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.320 are always so happy to talk about because I think 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.280 what happens is like I mean, you see it, and 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:13.039 it's fair questioning, but because that's like what people know 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:14.359 about him, and that's what they want to hear. But 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.839 like he wins, and the first question is about like 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:21.680 you love science. Nobody tell us about science isn't that crazy? 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:23.000 He does. He does. 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.279 He's just he goes so over the top and so 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.599 beyond the pill on some of his answers where it's like, man, 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.160 just say just say you know what. 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.560 I'm working on some things right now, but I know. 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:36.680 But That's what I love, though, is if he did that, 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.040 everyone would be like, man, what a dick? 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:42.880 Like he's so standoffish. I love just leaning into it 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:47.320 and just completely yea leaning well. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:51.720 A lot of traditional media complain about Dustin Johnson and 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.760 his lack of responses and interviews, and Bryson is just 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.560 the complete opposite. He gives you too much. 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.359 Yeah, but I feel like he does it in a 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:10.440 way that instead of being informative, he is very don 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.720 king self. He's like a mix between Don King and 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:14.880 like Albert. 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:18.440 Einstein, don King and Albert. 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.280 It's like Bryce and d Chambeau. In the Art of 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:26.480 Self Promotion, it's a book I would read. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:27.960 What I'm saying so trying. 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.120 I think the art history teacher wrote a book called 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.760 Booker T. Washington in the Art of Self Promotion, So 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.480 volume two I could do Volume. 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:41.720 Two first of all, talk about like, here's the one 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.680 thing that does get glossed over a little bit. I 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:48.720 think is like his game is so good, Like it's 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:49.600 so good. 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.240 Yeah, he mashes the ball, he destroys the ball, and 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.240 like he's just struggled too much with this putter. But 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.960 he seems to be fine to something. He's gonna win 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:04.240 a major championship like I I like would say that 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:09.200 of young players outside of John Rahm, like Bryson D. 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:13.040 Chambeau is going to win a major, Like I put 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.720 him up there with almost anybody else that's major free 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.240 under twenty three four years old. 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:21.640 The thing that also, not a lot of people knows 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.280 that all his irons are the same length. 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:29.600 Or or are Yeah, you want to fill this up, 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:34.800 there's some It was on golf RX there somebody tweeted that, 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.600 you're like, man, this is like not a whole lot 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:41.400 of people know this, but most tour players they're irons 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:42.160 are the same line. 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.280 Just a scorching take. 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.199 I don't know what's darker place, the. 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.520 Com trails of golf conspiracy. 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:56.440 Somebody somebody said jet fuel can't melt skill shafts. 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.120 Here's a question, and what's it darker place? Golf Club 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:06.320 at List's message wars or golf wrx's message wars. 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.640 Golf WRX because that stuff like doesn't matter. So like 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:11.959 golf club atlists like that stuff's going to be around 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.840 in fifty years, Like those courses, nobody's gonna be talking 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:20.880 about the title or the tailor made a nine in 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:22.120 like six months. 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.719 Yeah, I'm trying to think, like which I'm trying to 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.840 think which group. I'm trying to think of the right 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.679 way to say this. One of the groups has has 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.319 more to lose, and I'm not sure like which one 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:33.640 it is. 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:35.439 Well, it's just it's like obsolescence. 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.360 Yah, all right, Well the. 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.280 Game just a game. I cannot I cannot even try 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:43.480 to pretend like I keep up with. 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:44.960 Yeah, I can't get into it. 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.320 All right, Andy, I got a question for you. So, 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:49.960 one of the most interesting things I talked about, or 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:55.360 I gleaned from Bryson's post round interviews and everything, was 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.600 the fact that he was chasing a little bit more distance, 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.240 like he was chasing another ten fifteen yards of distance. 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.480 It seemed like he said he got that, he got that, 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.160 got that figured out, like kind of got past that 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.640 and then got everything sorted over the last three or 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:13.040 four weeks. 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.240 If he's so long, Like, why is he chasing more distance? 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:16.920 Is he like the cat? He just can't? 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.640 I think, well, I think that's what everybody does it 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.280 to a certain extent. I mean, you get to tour 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.280 and then you think you need to be better, you 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.280 need you watch what's happening with DJ and you know 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.440 you're like, oh, he hits it so far, I need 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:32.280 to hit it like that. 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.199 I mean, but Bryce's freedom long. I mean he was 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.280 long at the US hand as long as the masters. 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.120 Like, hey, I don't know where where does he fit? 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:41.960 Like I don't know this, but like where does he 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.160 fit among tour players? 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.680 You know, I think, just like all part above average. 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.040 I mean I don't have the stats right in front 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:50.240 of me. 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:54.480 Like eight percentile, right like seventy fifth, eightieth percentile. 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:59.679 But you know you yeah, I think he's got the best. 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.240 So I'm not sure where he is. But you get 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.160 to tour and you see these low scores and he 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:07.880 probably looked at it and said, I need to get 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:09.000 more wedges in my hand. 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:11.520 You know, he was looking at the data. 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:19.319 He was you know, although he didn't have enough data 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.160 because he wasn't making enough cuts. 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.600 He was light on data compared to his competitors. That's 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:26.800 why he needed to get. 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.760 Plenty disadvantage these bigger sample sizes. 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:35.880 You know. Another big winner was Rapha Cabrera Bayo finally one. 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.680 Yeah, all in them, my guy. That was awesome. 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.080 I don't know a ton about him other than you know, 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:43.960 I mean I've watched him play over here, just all 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.560 the WGCs and majors and you know when he went 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.320 deep at the match play and all that stuff, but 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:52.840 like he was kind of sneaky falling into that, Like 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.760 that was the most interesting stat as soon as he won, 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:57.920 was just knowing like that the stat was going to 0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.720 be everywhere, like yeah, when was the last time that 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.000 he because I couldn't picture it and it was whatever 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:02.959 five and a half years. 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.439 Are you saying he's like a poor man's Lee Westwood? 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.040 He had he had three economy of Spain is kind 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:12.320 of low. That's the other reason he's kind of the 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.240 poor man. I think he's all the players Lee westw 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.080 It is yeah, deep global. 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.559 God keep diminishing Westwood Man. 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:25.200 Versus Cabrera BeO. 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.600 This week, any takers, No, you've got your. 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:30.920 How about Westwood versus. 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.959 Leishman is already locked? But that can we talk. 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.040 About all right, I don't mean to skip ahead here 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.000 because I think we need to talk about the Utah 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:46.720 Championship on the Web Tour, but can we talk about 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:50.920 Porter and where he pulled his odds from on his 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.440 British Open preview column. 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.040 I didn't see him. 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.680 So he pulled it and he had who he had? 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.439 He had somebody had the seventy five to one odds. 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:06.000 The dictator Roberto Castro, Oh Castra. 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:10.600 Yeah, he had Roberto Castro as a sleeper at seventy 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:14.240 five to one odds. On my sportsbook, Roberto Castro was 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:16.840 five fifty to one. 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:19.080 Yeah, that's how it's money there. 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.240 Castro is an interesting character because he made the Tour 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:27.440 Championship last year and two years ago two years before 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.679 he two years ago he made the Tour Championship and 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:35.240 lost his car. You know it's again, Yeah, it's almost 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.760 impossible to do like. I don't know if anybody else 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:39.839 has ever done it legitimately. 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:41.440 I'm not exaggerating here. 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.520 I think if you could have any player on the podcast, 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.160 he would be probably on my top five. 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:46.080 I love Castro. 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:52.360 I'm not saying anything bad about the man. It's just 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:54.920 unbelievable that it's gonna it might happen again. 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.240 It's kind of like it's kind of like a reverse 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.640 or it's kind of like a Camillo community in a 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:05.079 full season and doing it multiple times. 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:05.560 Crazy. 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:11.520 Yeah, it is, It's nuts.

Bryson's got game, people, I'm not 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.400 disputing that he's got game. 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:28.720 He just. 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.400 It's like he wants to be different.

Okay, 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.920 it's crazy. I don't know why that guy would need 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.560 to chase the yards, but it could have been in 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:23.040 the data. 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.520 So all right, well, just here's here's what I'm gonna 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.760 say every time from now and this is all I 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:29.240 will ask. 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:33.240 You're entitled to your opinion.

Is he saying this unprompted? Or 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.080 is he saying this because he was asked about it 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:48.240 again and again? 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:49.960 But he has no discretion about it. 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.640 I don't know. I just I think he's like lacks discretion. 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.880 I think he is like I don't know, I think 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.320 he's a I think he is just trying to embrace 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.960 his unique miss and just trying to be him. 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.720 Oh, he's certainly trying to raise what I'm into. 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:08.960 I'm out on what his sponsors do to him. But 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.360 the guy is just a total weirdo. You know, Yeah, 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.800 is this different?

I think, I think I 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.160 think he a lot of it is just like. 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:37.160 Being a twenty two year old like millionaire that everyone 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.200 is like fascinated with and like there's got to be 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.200 something that like none of us have done that except 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:46.960 as ground the internet celebrity is the only one that 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.080 has gone through this, and it's it's hard to like, yeah, 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:51.680 I mean, it's gonna be hard to like rate it 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.440 in when people are like company your ego all the time. 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:58.800 So who's like a big personality that like totally owns 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:03.440 it that you like, Who's who's the model in golf 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:04.320 just in general? 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:13.160 Both Grayson Murray. 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.200 I'm kidding. I don't. 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:15.639 I mean I don't. That's the thing. 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.399 I don't. I don't know if there is a blueprint 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:23.000 because it's I don't know. I mean, you know, I 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:24.120 would have a hard question. 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.960 No that that's a very valid question and a good question. 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.680 But I just think there's Yeah, I mean you could 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:35.280 look at Ricky and say Phil would be my only Yeah, 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:39.280 but like Ricky's a good like he does things his 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.359 own way. I don't know if he's got that sort 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.840 of quirky personality, but he does things his own way 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:47.240 and he can you know, he's done it in a 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:51.399 way that hasn't offended the ship out of his peers. 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:53.520 I think Phil is the model for this. I think 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.359 phils like old distinguished Bryson. If you think about the 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.720 ship that he says and the stuff that Bryson says, 0:17:58.760 --> 0:17:59.719 they're not that different. 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.040 Phil saying that ship in like ninety six. 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.480 And he alienated everybody, and everyone's like, God, that guy's 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:06.280 like a little much. 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.000 Yeah, but I get the sense of like Phil has 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:15.000 a ton of self self awareness too, and yeah, any 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:18.440 and he always has, whereas I don't get the sense 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:20.560 that Bryson has even remotely the. 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.360 Same level of self awareness. Maybe maybe it comes with time, 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:24.920 fair Fair. 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:29.200 Yeah, you know what's interesting is that you're in on 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:35.440 the Rerictator, Randy's out on the Rictator, You're out on Bryson, 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:37.480 and Randy's in on Bryson. 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.359 Randy being in on Bryson makes me even more than bring. 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:48.320 I'm I'm surprised Andy's not not just beating the Bryce 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:48.840 and drum. 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.719 No, but he's got I've got tapes, he's texting me today. 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.480 He's all in on Bryson. He's just laying in the weeds, right, 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:57.399 there's contrarian. 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:02.080 Andy's like, oh my contrarian brother, a contrarian revolutionary. 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.280 I just I'm realistic. He's really good at golf. I'm 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:08.479 not in on Bryson. Like I'm like DJ said, I'm 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:10.640 never going to go have a beer with Bryson. That's 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.920 something I'm not interested in doing. But I and I'm 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:16.879 I don't really enjoy watching him play golf either. I 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:21.560 don't think it's sluggish way the way the way. 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.240 That was My one thing about Rogers was was, man, 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:27.360 I feel like he should have gotten like a too, 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:32.480 like two strokes tracted from his score for having to 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:36.200 play with Bryson and Zach Johnson on Saturday. 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:44.800 That was absolutely brutal. Interesting, No, and then and then 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:45.880 I fired off a take. 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:49.440 They were like like Bryson took like ninety seconds to 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.560 line up Pott. I think he minded up six different times, 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:57.560 got the line exactly right, some salt, And then and 0:19:57.640 --> 0:19:59.680 then I was like, man, like, can we just like 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:04.159 preemptively put these guys in the clock? The fire off 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:07.639 this take no less than like eight seconds later they 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:09.200 walk up to the next team and they're waiting on 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:10.000 the next team. 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:18.159 And what would h We're a real quick flashpole for 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:20.760 the group here. What would make players play faster? 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:25.480 Get them getting doctor stroke or other players getting gaining. 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:28.560 A stroke, other players gaining stroke would make them play 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.520 faster like the rest of the field, or just the 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:33.320 guys in their group. No, just the guys in their group. 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:35.080 No, I can't be to the guys in another in 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.440 their group because then you got to get guys behind them. Yeah. 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:41.639 Yeah, it's not a perfect system, to be honest. No, 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:44.760 it's it's the belt man, you put the belt on it. 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:49.120 Sorry proposed this. Speaking of the belt, let's talk about 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:50.000 the Open Championship. 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:53.960 Yeah, Tron, you played Royal Birkdale a couple of months ago. 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:56.480 I'm so excited and all I can think is just 0:20:56.560 --> 0:21:00.679 like flighted two irons off tas. It's the it's kind 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:04.040 of a non the script start, but man, like you 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.920 get out to six, seven to really the rest of 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:12.040 the course, there's some just nasty part threes, but it's 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:16.080 there's some serious course management involved too. It's a it's 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:17.520
