15
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,240

Speaker 1: twenty nineteen US Amateur Champion and Georgia techon graduate from Mississippi.

17
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: How soon after you finish off your handshake, had off handshake,

18
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: whatever the case is, you're the U s M champ,

19
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: how quickly do you think masters? Thinking Masters? Before the

20
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: thing before tell your one in the US am I

21
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: mean Tiger one the Masters in nineteen, so everyone knows

22
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: leading up to the U s M. If you win

23
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: the U s M, then you're playing with Tiger at

24
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: the Masters the following year. So UM, all throughout the

25
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: week during press conference and stuff, that's all they're talking about.

26
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: So there's no way to there's no way to really

27
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: avoid that. UM. I was thinking about it for sure. UM.

28
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: I remember the most nervous I was the semifinal match,

29
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: because so much FRIZ on that semifinal match and if

30
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: you if you don't win that one, then you basically

31
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: getting nothing out of the US AM. Um, you win

32
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: that match, you get into the US Open and the Masters,

33
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: and you don't get in the British but unless you win.

34
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: But UM, a lot rods on that match. And I

35
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: remember that morning. I mean, I'm like, goly, like, this

36
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: is the most nervous I've ever been and never really

37
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: felt this. And that was a really good experience for

38
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: me to have, UM, learn how to deal with that adrenaline,

39
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: learn how to deal with the emotions and kind of

40
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: put everything aside. And for the first nine holes or so,

41
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: I didn't really get a hole to my game, and

42
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: lucky for me, the guy was planning it's was kind

43
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: of the same way and ended up hitting a few

44
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: quality shots down the stretch and got my emotions under

45
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: control and um closed it out. But you know that

46
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: was that was one of the hardest rounds of golf

47
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: I've ever played. Tell me, talked me through that hole?

48
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah? Um, how many times do you think

49
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: you had played the golf course before? You? Really? We

50
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: get to go over once a year in college. Um,

51
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: so I played four times with the college team, and

52
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: then it got to be really close with a few

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: of the members and they would take me over on

54
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: weekends and stuff. So I must have played twelve times

55
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: before the week started, maybe thirteen fourteen times. I don't know.

56
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: You love the golf courtion? I love it, absolutely love

57
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: it since the first time I went. I mean I

58
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: was obsessed with Augusta National. What do you love about it?

59
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: It's just every hole it tells you what to do.

60
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: It's like, you're supposed to hit it here to this pen,

61
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: you do this, to this, when you do this, Um,

62
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: you can't hit it here. It's just very like straightforward.

63
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that sounds weird to say about Augusta, but

64
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: it really does tell you where to hit it and

65
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: where to miss it. And I like golf courses like that.

66
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: I like the like how heart it is. I like

67
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: how punishing it is for bad shots, but it also

68
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: rewards good shots. And um, I think they have the

69
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: greatest part fives in the world. Um, the greatest green complexes.

70
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just really cool golf course. And obviously

71
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: Augusta National just has a different feel about it once

72
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: you get on property than anywhere else in the world.

73
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: I haven't really experienced that. I mean, I've played all

74
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: the all the cool places been done, the pun Valley done,

75
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: Cyprus Seminal, I mean, all these places are amazing, but

76
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: I guess it just has a different feel and attention

77
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: to detail than anywhere else in the world. And it's

78
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: just special Augusta National Masters. So you get in, tucked

79
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: me through, you got a lot to manage, You've got family,

80
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: got tickets, you've got you know. That just sort of

81
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: walked me through sort of the chaos that is Masters

82
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: we compared to everything else. So I mean normally, um,

83
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: I was preparing for playing in April, and I would

84
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: sit in class in college and I had these spreadsheets

85
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I made all these spreadsheets of

86
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: who's getting tickets on what day and texting all my friends, Hey,

87
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: can you go on this day? Can you go on

88
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: this day? And uh, I finally got to get eight tickets.

89
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: I had it all spread out. I was going to

90
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: give my high school friends the day, you know, high

91
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: school coaches, everybody that's kind of brought me to where

92
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm at. Um, everybody was going to get an opportunity.

93
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: And then they say, you know, the Masters just put

94
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: spawning in November. I'm like, oh my gosh, I've done

95
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: all this. I've done all this work. We've got the

96
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: house set up, we know who's going, we know what

97
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: day we're getting there, like everything's everything's very planned out.

98
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: And you were handling all of that him. You were

99
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: managing that. Yeah. I mean I never asked my parents

100
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: to do anything. Um, I kind of like to to

101
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: do it all on my own. So um yeah, I

102
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: had it all, had it all ready to go, and

103
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: then um we did. We ended up having no fans,

104
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: no spectators, so all those tickets, nobody could go. A

105
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: lot of people from my hometown had spent, you know,

106
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: a lot of money for them to be able to go,

107
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: and um, even a few people had reached out like, hey,

108
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: is it okay if we like sleeping yell floor will

109
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: bring like a pullout couch or blow up bed or something.

110
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: And uh so it was gonna be a really fun

111
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: week and it still was. I mean, don't get me wrong,

112
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: but um, hopefully we'll get back soon and uh give

113
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: everybody the tickets and they were gonna have I'll probably

114
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: still have this spread sheets. That's amazing. So now so

115
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: it bummer that you didn't have all that, but in

116
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: a way it kind of simplified. It also simplified your

117
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: life in a sense that you know, I mean, there

118
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: was a lot less to worry about, um getting there

119
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: in November. It was just me and my caddy and

120
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: my parents. My grandma came over from Mississippi to cook

121
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: every night. We had a super cool setup. We had

122
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: a we had a nice house and um my brother

123
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: was there or my brothers were there, and um, how

124
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: many who's your caddy? My assistant coach in college caddy

125
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: for me, he caddy for me and all the all

126
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: the term ats how players and am and he caddy

127
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: for me at the U S M two so I

128
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: felt like he kind of helped me get to that point,

129
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: and I wanted to I didn't want to take a

130
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: different caddy. I want to take somebody else comfortable with,

131
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: especially to a place like Augusta. I mean, there's enough

132
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: stuff to make you uncomfortable already then um adding a

133
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: new caddy of the mix. So I wanted to take him.

134
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: And he came over on a few trips with me before,

135
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: and um he always loved golf and uh kind of

136
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: learning about the game. So he was obsessed with learning

137
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: everything you could have about august And I feel like

138
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: he knows more than you know most of the caddies

139
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: now because he studied it so much, and he helped

140
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: me a lot. Had you had a couple of really

141
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: low rounds, had you had some success at playing in

142
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: all those years, I think the first time I played,

143
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: I was like five over through five and shot even

144
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: a bogey the last sole to shoot even I was

145
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: so mad about that. But um, I always shot around

146
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: par I don't think I ever had like a really

147
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: great round or a bad round. It was always around

148
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: par Um. Fun fact, actually, my my senior year of

149
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: college I was playing basketball. It was like early November

150
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: and we were playing at the campus Recreational Center and uh,

151
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: I went up for a rebound and got mad because

152
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: this kid like stole the rebound from me. I went

153
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: to jab the ball and I I had a bone

154
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: bruise in my thumb, hairline fracture, and I was supposed

155
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: to go to Augusta the next weekend, and so like,

156
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: don't tell anybody, don't tell anybody. In my hands like

157
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: super swollen, and I come to Augusta anyway. I'm like,

158
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to play Augusta. But my hand was broken

159
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: and I had to shake like a hundred hands that

160
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: week because everybody's like, oh, congrats on the us AN.

161
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: I was like wincing every handshake. But I didn't play

162
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: well that time. But I ended up just getting a

163
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: cast like the next week and took like a month

164
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: off or something, but cut it off for a cruise

165
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: for New Year's Eve. Doctor. The doctor was not happy

166
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: about that. But yeah, I mean, you can't take a

167
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: cast on New Year's Eve cruise. Talk me through your

168
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: practice rounds of Augusta and who you played with, any

169
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: kind of memorable stuff that happened before you. That was

170
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: a great question. I think I play with Lucas like

171
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: every day. Um, Lucas Glover's kind of taking me under

172
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: his wing, especially on on tour, and uh, I been

173
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: kind of a mentor for me and kind of showing

174
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: me the ropes and gotten onto me for playing too

175
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: much on Monday and Tuesday, and UM kind of tell me,

176
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: you know, how to be a pro and how to

177
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: go about it. So he was definitely someone that's helped

178
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: me a ton since I've turned pro and and kind

179
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: of how to how to do it. And obviously he's

180
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: been out there for so long he he knows, he

181
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: knows what it's like. And UM gave me a lot

182
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: of good advice. And he's played Augusta so much that

183
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: he gave me, you know, a lot of different opinions

184
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 1: and and pointers. And I played a few times with

185
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: Roberto Castro to another Georgia tech guy, UM, on my

186
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: trips over here. We did a couple overnight weekends together

187
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: with Roberto and and he kind of told me everything

188
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: that he knew about it as well. So I had

189
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: a lot of different people always bouncing information off of

190
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: and trying to trying to learn as much as I could.

191
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: What was some of the what what some of the

192
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: advice you that that stuck out that really helped you

193
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: that kind of I mean, I think the biggest thing

194
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: in any PG tur event or major championship is just

195
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: not wearing yourself out early in the week. Um I

196
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: never played more than nine holes of the Masters verse

197
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: is the U S Open, I played probably eighteen Monday Tuesday,

198
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: and then um, I remember the first week that I

199
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: was playing in a professional tournament was Colonial. I think

200
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: I played eighteen on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. And because

201
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: I got all these different people reaching out, Hey do

202
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: you want to play practice drum? And I thought it

203
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: was just like cool that I was playing with all

204
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: these guys and didn't really even think about the tournament.

205
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, I'm gonna go play with Phil this afternoon,

206
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go play with Davis this afternoon, or

207
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, all these different people, and uh, obviously that

208
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: was super cool, but it didn't help my golf game.

209
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: And I would get to Friday afternoon, I'd be exhausted,

210
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: and I t off last off ten and every tournament

211
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: that I played in, every sponsor in about your last

212
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: off ten, and then you'd wake up super early Friday

213
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: morning and play again. So I needed to I needed

214
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: to be a lot more disciplined with um kind of

215
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: how it went about the week, and um, the stuff

216
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: that I could do off the course to to give

217
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: my off a lot better advantage versus I thought I

218
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: had to go see the golf course because I hadn't

219
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: seen these golf courses and everybody else has played it,

220
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: you know, ten times and tournaments. So you know, that

221
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: was definitely a learning experience for me, and UM, those

222
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: guys helped me a lot with different advice and not

223
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: just on the course stuff, but off the off the

224
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: course stuff as well. So you're pairing for Thursday of

225
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: Masters in November, is, Yeah, I play with Tiger and

226
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: Shane Lowry and uh, Shane's a beauty. He's he's super

227
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: fun and UM cuts a lot of jokes and man,

228
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: we had we had so much fun and Tiger was

229
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: so nice to me. Um, you don't really know what

230
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna say to Tiger, how that first encounter is

231
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: gonna go. You don't want to really want to bother

232
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: him and um, so I was just not gonna really

233
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: say anything, you know, good luck before I tee off

234
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: or something like that, and he comes over to me

235
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: on the putting green and slaps me and let's let's

236
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: go do this thing today. And I'm like, oh, you know,

237
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: that's super cool. You probably had a couple of the

238
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: words slipped in there as well. But broke the Yeah,

239
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: I broke the ice made it a lot more comfortable

240
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: for me. And uh. We tee off on Tin and

241
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: we're walking down the fairway and we had just had

242
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: a rain delay that morning. As if you're not like

243
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: already worked up too much and then you gotta wait

244
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: around another two hours for a rain delay. I think

245
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: we're supposed to see off at like eight something, ended

246
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: up teeing off at like ten something, but um, yeah,

247
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: that was. We're walking down Tin Fairway and I see

248
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: Tiger kind of walk over like he's about to say

249
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: something to me, you know, like you're kind of walking

250
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: to your path down down the hill and our balls

251
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: are in similar spot and he kind of walks over.

252
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, he's about to say something again, and

253
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: he's like, wouldn't it be fun and just get like

254
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: a running start and slide down this hill. I'm like,

255
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: what that's what you just said? And I kind of

256
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: gave him some crap about that. From then on we

257
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: were we were buddies. So, um, I think he likes

258
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: people that kind of give it back to him and

259
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: and aren't really like that intimidated by him, and kind

260
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: of treat him like a normal person. So that's what

261
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: I try to do. And I think he appreciated that.

262
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: So it was fun and talk me through that round.

263
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: I mean you start on ten, you're yeah, it's it's

264
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: pretty funny. So I stay in the crow's nest the

265
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: night before, and uh, no one ever does that, the amateurs.

266
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: They don't want to stay there the night before. They're like, oh,

267
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: we'll stay there Monday night or Tuesday night or whatever.

268
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm gonna get the full experience, Like

269
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay there, stay there Wednesday night, and do

270
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: it like they used to do in the old days.

271
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, I by myself, I was the only

272
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: one there. Creepy a little better, I mean not really, no,

273
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm not really want to be scared anything, but um, actually, yeah,

274
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: it's super cool. You hear every door shut in the

275
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: whole clubhouse. So I've probably got like three hours of

276
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: sleep and they're out blowing off the lawn at three

277
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: am and getting ready for the day. I'm like, golly,

278
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: setting up the umbrellas and stuff outside, Like, can you

279
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: guys just put that off for a couple of hours.

280
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying to sleep. Um, but now it was it

281
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: was cool and you know, one of those things you

282
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: can only do it once. And Tiger actually I asked

283
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: about that during the round. He's like, dude, how cool

284
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: was it? I guess he found out I was staying

285
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: in the Crow's Nest that night, and how cool was

286
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: the Crow's nest last? He was like, I would love

287
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: to stay there again. I'm like, that's you know that,

288
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: How cool is that? That? Like someone who's probably rented

289
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: the biggest house at Westlake and has chef and everything

290
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: there at his disposal, and he would rather stay in

291
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: the Crow's Nest. And that just shows like how cool

292
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: the amateur tradition at the Masters is and how well

293
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: they treat you, and just that tradition of amateurs the

294
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: Masters is super cool and you know, very grateful that

295
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: they even let amateurs play. Also kind of revealing a

296
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: little bit about Tiger wear. He's just a big kid,

297
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: like I mean, wants to slide down the Hill, wants

298
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: to stay in the Crow's nest. I'm joking around around

299
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: talking about his kids, and you know, I was like, so,

300
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: what's what's next for you? And this is before he

301
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: announced that he was going to play The Father's Son.

302
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: He was like, it's so excited that he was going

303
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: to play in The Father's Son. And uh was telling

304
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: me about it, and he was like, man, like, it's

305
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna be awesome, like all this stuff, and

306
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, that's so cool that, like, you know,

307
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: he's playing the Masters, but he's already thinking about playing

308
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: the Father's Son for the first time. And I don't

309
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: think he announced it for like another three or four weeks,

310
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: and I couldn't tell anybody. I'm like, you know, that's

311
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: kind of like confidential. UM. I didn't want to be

312
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: the guy that goes out and says, you know, Tiger's

313
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: gonna play with the Father's Son, and so, UM, I

314
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: think you know all that stuff. I'll definitely remember all

315
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: these conversations, and UM just sound nice. He was. He

316
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: didn't have to say anything to me. And obviously playing

317
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: with a guy like Shane too. UM. I had also

318
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: played with Shane the U s Open. I think five

319
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: out of six rounds I've played in majors I played

320
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: with Shane, so I've got to know him pretty well,

321
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: which is yeah. I mean, it's just the best group

322
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: you can ever have because you've got some guy over

323
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: here cutting jokes and um, keeping everything pretty light until

324
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: he hits a bad shot, and then uh, you got

325
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: uh Tiger who's obviously my childhood hero. So um, really

326
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: cool grouping. Another cool story that Thursday, I'm in uh

327
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: player dining, and player dining is different than it normally is.

328
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: It was like left of the range because of COVID,

329
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: they had to space out of the the lockers, and um,

330
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: We're in this big building and I'm scrolling through Twitter

331
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: or whatever I'm doing eating breakfast. Probably should have been like,

332
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: you know, thinking about the round or something, but I'm

333
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: like watching a lot from the Masters and like scrolling

334
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: through Twitter and you know, looking at the hype for

335
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: for the round, and h Henrik Stinson, who had played

336
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: a practice round with at the US Open, walks over

337
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: and I didn't even know this, but in the in

338
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: the locker room they had all the pin sheets. You know,

339
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: obviously an amateur golf. You wait until you get to

340
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: the first team, and then you fold your pin sheet.

341
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: On the first team, you don't even know like where

342
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: the pins are. Um, like, golly, I don't even think

343
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: about that. But I go to where's that out? But

344
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: he walks over and lays a pin sheet in front

345
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: of me and just winks at me and walks off,

346
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: and almost like that is the coolest thing ever. Like

347
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: he didn't say anything. Um, didn't even you know, really

348
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: acknowledged me, just winked at me and walked off. And

349
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, that's pretty badass. I love that guy. So, um,

350
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: that was really cool and kind of got me, got

351
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: me going that morning and kind of got me into

352
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: the competitive mind frame versus just like oh, the Master's

353
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: week sick, you know. And so we start and I'm like,

354
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: pipe it down one. Um, it wasn't as nervous I

355
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: thought I was gonna be. I think, you know, some

356
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: of those I was way more nervous that, like the

357
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: Walker Cup or you know, some of those other events

358
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: versus that first tea shot and no gallery though that helps.

359
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: No gallery definitely helps, kind of like you guys are

360
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: out there and yeah, I mean when they say like yeah,

361
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: I say, like Andy Orgatree, now driving it's like, you know,

362
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: you definitely get something, but it it wasn't what I

363
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: was expecting. And uh, Everyone's like, oh, you got up

364
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: to the best. Are how nervous were you? Like you

365
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: must have been so nervous. I'm like, you know, I was,

366
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: but like I felt like I channeled it well and

367
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: I was, you know, more excited for the round versus nervous.

368
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: And I had on the left side of the green

369
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: on on tin, which was my first sole, hit it

370
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: up to like four ft lip that one out, you

371
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: know whatever, like hit three pretty good shots and part

372
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: eleven and then Tiger kind of holds one up into

373
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: the wind on twelve, and I saw that he hit

374
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: nine iron, and I'm like, it's gotta be a nine iron,

375
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: So I like bride the wind a little bit and

376
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: it carries in the back edge of the back bunker plugged,

377
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: and I'm like standing like half in, half out, trying

378
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: to like somehow keep this thing in the green not

379
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: go into the creek and left in the bunker end

380
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: up making double snappoging the trees on thirteen. So I'm

381
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: four over three four and I'm just like, what has happened?

382
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: Like I'm so into this round, like gonna get going,

383
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: get off to a good start, blah blah blah, and

384
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: it's just like four over, three four, and it's like, okay,

385
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: let's let's reach out of here. UM ended up getting

386
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: back to one over. Anything to Chane, say anything to

387
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: you when you're sort of struggling, And now they're probably like,

388
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: who is this freaking hack of here? How this guy

389
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: getting the tournament? Yeah, I didn't know this was a

390
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: Wednesday pro am. Uh. They were super nice the whole time.

391
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't really say anything, but you could tell,

392
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: like throughout the round they kind of realized that I

393
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: was playing some good golf, and UM a lot more

394
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: good shots were said in the in the end of

395
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: the round versus the beginning shot. One over the first

396
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: round not bad considered I was four over therefore, UM

397
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: played played pretty nice coming in and actually lipped one

398
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: out to get back to even. My goal was to

399
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: get back to even, and looked one out in the

400
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: ninth hole to get back to even. But you know,

401
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: still super solid round considering considering that start. UM, and

402
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: then I played pretty good the rest of the week,

403
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: just didn't didn't make enough bodies to to kind of

404
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: get back into the tournament. But what was your low round?

405
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: I think I should one over, two under, three under

406
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: one over. I don't know if I shot two or

407
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: three second round, that's bad. Um, I ended up shooting

408
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: too under for the tournament. I think I shot one

409
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: over two under one under even that's what I shot.

410
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: And you were t I think it was like T

411
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: thirty four or some something something or something like that.

412
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: But and low Am yeah, low Am, So that was

413
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: that was really cool. Um. Obviously you know you want

414
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: to win the tournament, but on the back of your

415
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: head you're also thinking, okay, let's win low amateur. It's

416
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: not it's not a loss, so to speak, if you

417
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: if you can win low m And um, you know

418
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: that was that was cool. Butler Cabin, Yeah, Butler cabin.

419
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: So right after you finish, um, they take the amateur

420
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: to Condoleeza Rice's cabin and they have this huge spread

421
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: of food and you know, whatever you want before you

422
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: before they take you over to Butler cabin. So it's

423
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: kind of like a holding sale before you go to

424
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,320

456
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: nervous for Butler Kevin, which was kind of surprising too.

457
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: Like I was just kind of hanging out talking and

458
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,360

459
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: of nerve wracking standing there, you know, talking to the

460
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: audience that's that's watching the Butler Kevins everyone. He's pretty big,

461
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: and uh, I was just you know, hanging out more so,

462
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: I thought it was cool that Tiger and DJ were there,

463
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: and um, getting to see someone put the green jacket

464
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: on someone else up close and personal just makes it

465
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: you know that much cooler for me and um, not

466
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: not to mention Bobby Jones Georgia tech U s m

467
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: u U Sam, Now you're a brother cabin Bobby Jones

468
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: built build the Master. I mean, was we must see

469
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: paintings of Bobby. I mean like some of that part

470
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: of I mean some of those overnight trips, Like I'd

471
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: stayed in Clifford Clifford Roberts little cabin in his room,

472
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: and like all night I would just you know, look

473
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: at all the pictures on the wall and read all

474
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: the different things around the clubhouse and branch off from

475
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: the members at times, and you know, read all this

476
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: different stuff and get to know little tidbits about the

477
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: club and you hear all these like myths and Clifford

478
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: Roberts has the only fireplace in his room, and um,

479
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So I don't know, he wanted to

480
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: be like it's far from the main clubhouse as he could.

481
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: He wanted to kind of get away, which was only

482
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: you know, thirty yards, but he was the last the

483
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: last room on the end. And I don't know, there's

484
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: just so many different things that um about Augusta that

485
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: make it special. And I was able to you know,

486
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I feel like I have a lot of

487
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: I know a lot of things that people don't really

488
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 1: hear about. And uh, I guess I really feel comfortable

489
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: around that place just because you know, I know so

490
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: many people there and I've been there more than most

491
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: people they get to play the tournament, So it was

492
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: always like weirdly calm around that place. You see yourself

493
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: in your mind. This is all part of the process

494
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: to slipping on the jacket something. Yeah, I think that

495
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: would be. That would be the one that if you

496
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: ask me if you could win any of them, I'd

497
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: probably say that one. I'd probably say that one over

498
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: two of any of the other ones. Just I just

499
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: think it's the coolest tournament in golf, and um, it's

500
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: probably the easiest to win. But I think that place

501
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: fits my more than more than US Open. Er. Um,

502
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 1: I really like Links golf too, but I haven't been

503
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: able to play British Open, so I don't really know

504
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: what that experience is like. And then obviously the PJ

505
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: is super cool, but there's something different about winning a

506
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: green jacket. You would trade you would trade one green

507
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: jacket for an Open and the US Open probably, I

508
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: mean great, yeah, well wouldn't you No, Yeah, you get

509
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: to play the same I think there's a right or

510
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: wrong would have to you know, Jack, Gary, Tom Watson

511
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: on the first that you know you're champions dinners. Maybe

512
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: my perspective will change when I play British Open or something,

513
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:52,479
Speaker 1: But UM, understandable considering your history, your connection you, I

514
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: think that place just means a little more to me

515
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: than um other places right now. But you know, it's

516
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,719
Speaker 1: a long career and that could definitely change. But UM,

517
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: right now, I would say that's the one that that

518
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: I could see myself winning. Put another log on the fire.

519
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: Nobody here is getting time
