1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: The guys from Ping. They've kind of showed me how

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: much the equipment matters. I just love that I can

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: hit any shot I kind of want.

Speaker 4: And on sunny Scotland. Yeah, you know, I feel like

16
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 4: we got a little bit of everything typical typical Scotland.

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 4: You know it would be I was in shorts at

18
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 4: one point today and then there was raining sideways at

19
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 4: one point today, So yeah, I got a little bit

20
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 4: of everything.

21
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were saying that the pro am was was

22
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 3: kind of everything Mother Nature could throw at you, and

23
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 3: that was the first time you've played the old course

24
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: in your life.

25
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: So you got it in? Are we saying thirty mile

26
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: an hour gusts is what we're going with?

27
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 4: At least?

28
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 5: Yeah?

29
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 4: I mean at times I think it was probably close

30
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 4: to like thirty five. Yeah, I mean it was pretty

31
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 4: brutal out there, but I mean it's what it's going

32
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 4: to be like all weeks. So but it might as

33
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 4: well get it in now too, Marty.

34
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: There are podcast bumps and then there is whatever happened

35
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: with us and Lauren last week. We were actually gonna

36
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 3: do a podcast with her last week and I think

37
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: weather was an issue and your tea time got pushed

38
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: back and it didn't work out.

39
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: So Marty, are we going with like the pre bump

40
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: or the post?

41
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: Like?

42
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: How are we doing this?

43
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 5: Yeah?

44
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 2: This is a new we need a new name for this.

45
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: You know, Lauren, you got any ideas here?

46
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean I would have done it had it

47
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: not you know, been probably having to do it like

48
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 4: nine to thirty my time and having to go then

49
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 4: get up the next day. But yeah, I think you

50
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: probably like a a pre It might be a little

51
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 4: bit of a both, like a pre post bump.

52
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 5: There you go, there we go like that. I love it.

53
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: You were celebrating at the Don Vegan Post Scottish Op

54
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: and I listened to you on the NLU Live show

55
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 3: and then the pod and all of that.

56
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: It was funny.

57
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: You were doing your job if you will, you know,

58
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: jumping in with the guys and doing that. And I

59
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: know I'm going to get into your relationship with then

60
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 3: LU in a little bit, but you were doing your

61
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 3: job there. But it was so cool And if people

62
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 3: haven't checked it out, make sure you go listen to

63
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: the podcast because about every thirty seconds, somebody'd walk by

64
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 3: and say congratulations. And I think, like Marina walked by

65
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 3: at some point, I think, do you say, Cary Webb

66
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 3: was there as well. All of these people are walking

67
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 3: by congratulating you as you're doing a live FaceTime in

68
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: the US. I mean, that's kind of who you are

69
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 3: in this space, and you know, I know you get

70
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: a lot of I'm assuming you get a lot of

71
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: comps to Max Homa on the men's side of golf,

72
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: and I'm assuming a lot of that is not just

73
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 3: your relationship with then LU, but just you know your

74
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: journey and who you are and how open you've been

75
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: to everybody. But what is it like going from I'm

76
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 3: a cool kid on the LPGA tour that's got these

77
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: cool friends to now I'm playing some of the best

78
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 3: golf on the planet and my confidence levels at an

79
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: all time high.

80
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's been a world when I would say

81
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 4: the last like month or so, just between Avion and

82
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 4: then going to Canada Portland and then last week in

83
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 4: the best way of course, but yeah, it's I think

84
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 4: what I learned after Canada was just like the coolest

85
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: part about winning Canada was the all the support I

86
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 4: got from my peers, you know, like I kind of stick.

87
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 4: I am very friendly with a lot of people, and

88
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: I have friends, but kind of when I'm at the course,

89
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 4: I'm kind of usually in my bubble and I kind

90
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: of do my thing and then I leave. I don't

91
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 4: really do, you know. I don't play a lot of

92
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 4: practice rounds with my friends. I'm usually like now I

93
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 4: want to go play at this time, So I'm just

94
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: going to go play and I do my own thing.

95
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 4: But I have a lot of friends, but I think

96
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 4: it was a lot of the other people that I think,

97
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 4: like Lydiaco like messaged me right like as soon as

98
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 4: I won. Nelly messaged me, Lexi messaged me, like Gin

99
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 4: Young Coo messaged me, like all these people who have like,

100
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 4: you know, looked up to since I came out here,

101
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 4: and they're like now they respect me and they have

102
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 4: again I think just under the radar, a just oblivious

103
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 4: to myself, Like didn't really you know, think they knew

104
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 4: who I was, but they did the whole time. But yeah,

105
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 4: it's been wild. It's yeah, I don't really have a

106
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 4: lot of words to describe it. I'm just trying to

107
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 4: go keep playing golf and see what happens.

108
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 2: Lauren, What what was it that that click there in

109
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: Canada to get you over the hump?

110
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 5: Like, tell us a little bit about that week.

111
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: How are you feeling going into it, how you prepared

112
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: for the tournament and just you know just kind of

113
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: your position round by round and you know, how were

114
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: you were you quite nervous come down the stretch and

115
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: kind of how how it all came together for you there.

116
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, I learned a lot, you know, the two weeks

117
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: before at Avion. You know that was kind of really

118
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 4: the first time coming down the stretch that I had

119
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 4: had a lead at all. You know, I'd had like

120
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 4: a first round lead, for the first time in the

121
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 4: beginning year at Chevron, and then I think kind of

122
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 4: coming down the stretch, I was kind of in contention,

123
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 4: but I would never had the lead or anything newly

124
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 4: kind of ran away with it most of it, but

125
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: I kind of was the closest person to her for

126
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 4: a lot of the back nine. And then so Evan

127
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 4: was the first time where like you know, I was

128
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 4: stepping on the fifteenth tee and I had the lead

129
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 4: on Sunday and I didn't quite get it done. But

130
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 4: I didn't really feel like I lost that week so

131
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 4: much as I just didn't win because Ayaka came out

132
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 4: and shot five on her last five holes, like started

133
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 4: making everything. So while I was disappointed, I don't think

134
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 4: it it didn't really leave any scars or anything. I

135
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 4: would say more if anything, was just like, Okay, I

136
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: know what I need to go do next time. And

137
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 4: that off week, So my husband caddy for me at Evon,

138
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 4: But the previous five weeks before that, I've been working

139
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 4: with Terry mcnaura has been caddying for me, who was

140
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 4: on a castorm Sam's longtime caddie, and so he came

141
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 4: up because I live about an hour from where Slim is,

142
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 4: and so he came up. We actually went and hung

143
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 4: out with Bob Rotella for like an hour. He had

144
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 4: never met Bob, so I was like, he lives in

145
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 4: Charlesville where I live. I'm friends with him, Let's go

146
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: hang out. And then we went and played the Solon course.

147
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 4: And I think that week, you know, I just was

148
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 4: able to really rehash everything that happened at Evion and

149
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 4: learn what I didn't do. And so come Canada, I

150
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 4: was in a very good space. You know. Terry and

151
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 4: I were had just spent you know, a day and

152
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 4: a half pretty much just together ourselves, and I just felt,

153
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 4: I don't know, we were really starting to get in

154
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 4: a rhythm as a team, and I think that was

155
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 4: huge and I think a big reason why I was

156
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 4: able to end up winning at Canada.

157
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: Lauren, I hear this a lot from people when they win,

158
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: or even when they go from amutor golf, collegiate golf

159
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: to pro golf, and they start to kind of understand

160
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: that you look at your peers, or you look at

161
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 3: the Lydia's or the gin Youngs or the Nellies, and

162
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 3: you think they're perfect, and then the moment you get

163
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: to start playing with them, or you see them playing

164
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: in tournament golf, you realize that they're not perfect. They

165
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 3: make mistakes, they hit golf shots that aren't great. You know,

166
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 3: maybe they make a bogeie here, And there is there

167
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 3: a level of starting to get a sense of what

168
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 3: you needed to do to not just win, but be

169
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,799
Speaker 3: able to kind of play a minus B plus golf

170
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 3: and still see the results. Because the major results this

171
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: year have been incredible. I mean, you've played great in

172
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: the big events. Obviously you have the two wins, but

173
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: I just feel like the consistency has been there, and

174
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: I'm wondering if there was something that clicked mentally for

175
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: you where you looked around and said, these players, these

176
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 3: great players that I love to watch, do it aren't

177
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: perfect at the sport?

178
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. I think you know, in college that

179
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 4: kind of happened, you know, I think for those who

180
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 4: don't know, I mean, I wasn't highly recruited in this

181
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 4: in all of that, and so I remember getting paired

182
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 4: with and when I was in college Stephanie Meadow, who's

183
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 4: still out on tour with me, she was like number

184
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 4: one amateur like most of college when I was there,

185
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: and like in Leonda Maguire was you know, number one

186
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 4: amateur most of the time the rest of the time

187
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: that I was in college, and so I remember getting

188
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 4: to get paired with them for the first time and

189
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 4: being like, man, I can't wait to see you know,

190
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 4: like what do they do? Like what what can they

191
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 4: do that I don't How can I get? What do

192
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 4: I need to do to get better? And I remember

193
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 4: being like, yeah, they do, like they make a few

194
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: more puts than me or whatever, But there's not like

195
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 4: anything that they did that I didn't think I could

196
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 4: also do. And I think that's kind of happened over

197
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: the years as well on tour, finally getting starting to

198
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 4: get paired with the Lydia's. I've been played with Lydia

199
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 4: a few times this year, a handful of times the

200
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 4: last year or so, and I mean, she's unbelievable with

201
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 4: a wedge in her hand, but there's not really like

202
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 4: anything else about her that I'm like, yeah, like I

203
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: can't do that. I've never been paired with Nelly, never

204
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 4: been paired with Lilia, but I mean I've been paired

205
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 4: with a bunch of me I've played. I've been paired

206
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 4: with ruining a lot of the people now and there.

207
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 4: It's nothing that I'm like, yeah, there's nothing that they

208
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: can do that I can't do with a little bit

209
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 4: of practice and work or anything. Right, I'm not saying

210
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 4: I'm just as good at everything as them, but there's

211
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 4: like you can look and see like, Okay, I can

212
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: see that, I can see that I could do that.

213
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 2: Lauren, tell us a little bit more about working with

214
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: Bob Rotella. I'm kind of interested in that. How long

215
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: have you known him, and you know, how has he

216
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: helped you, not only recently obviously, but just over the

217
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: course of your your career.

218
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 4: Yeah. One of my really good good friends from Charlottesville,

219
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 4: Bubba who love the shout out, He's really good friends

220
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 4: with Doc and so I think about in twenty twenty

221
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: one or so, he was like, you know, do you

222
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 4: want me to just text him and see if he

223
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 4: like he wants to go play golf? And I was like, yeah,

224
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: that'd be awesome. And so that was kind of when

225
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 4: it started. I just played golf with him, you know

226
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 4: a handful of times. If I ever need to text

227
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: him or anything, like, he's always willing to talk. But

228
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 4: that's Yeah, it's been it's been pretty cool. I mean,

229
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 4: he has great stories, and he's worked with I mean

230
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 4: name him. He's probably worked with them on the men's side, especially,

231
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 4: you know, he works with Rory really closely, JT. Shane, Lowry,

232
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 4: Paltt Padrag Davis Love the Third Like I mean again,

233
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: like name him, and he's probably worked with them at

234
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 4: some point. So you know, listening to some of the

235
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 4: stuff that he has to say is is pretty cool.

236
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 4: He has great stories and again, and you go and

237
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 4: think that you're the only one that's ever felt certain

238
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 4: ways at times, and what you learn from them is like, no,

239
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 4: you're not the only one. Everyone's pretty much gone through

240
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 4: similar stuff at some point in their career.

241
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: Do you call him doc? Because that's really sick. Is

242
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: that what you call him?

243
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 2: Do?

244
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: Like text him doc?

245
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what Bubba calls them.

246
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: So that's kind of what Yeah, I mean, it's it's

247
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 3: uh yeah, that's kind of one of those.

248
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 4: Like doc doc. Rotella is another one, Yeah.

249
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: Because like like growing up myself, Marty, I'm sure you

250
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 3: were similar.

251
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: Is Rotella was the guy.

252
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: I mean, he was the books I read through, I

253
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 3: mean when I was having i mean, putting out of

254
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 3: your mind is on the shelf behind me. I mean

255
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: that's my go to and I'm really struggling. I think

256
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: it's wild to think there are certain figures in this

257
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: sport when you meet him in real life and Marty,

258
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 3: I'll nerd out of the PGA show versus like I

259
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 3: could see Mark Wahlberg walking down the street and I

260
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 3: would nerd out more if I saw Rotella.

261
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: You know, like that's the that's the world I live.

262
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: It's probably why I do this, But I mean, Rottella

263
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: was our guy.

264
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 4: Yeah.

265
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have his books on my bookshelf and my

266
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: office at home because I was going to give him

267
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: to my kid to read, and the pages are all

268
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 2: falling out and I got notes all in there. I

269
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 2: was just looking at it this a week or two ago.

270
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: So Laura, that's super cool that you, uh yeah, you

271
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 2: have this recent experience with him.

272
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was. It was awesome. I mean again,

273
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 4: so Terry's been catting for forty six years and.

274
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: Just a couple.

275
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, and like he had he had never met Rotella,

276
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 4: and so I was like, oh man, I just want

277
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 4: you guys to meet, Like I just want to listen

278
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 4: to you guys talk and like I can't wait to

279
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 4: hear like stories that you guys might go back and

280
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 4: forth right, And Terry was like, no, I'm just gonna

281
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 4: I just want to listen to him. He's like, I

282
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 4: don't want to. And so what it ended up being

283
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 4: was like we were just talking about me. It was

284
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 4: just me and Rotella talking back and forth about Evan

285
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 4: pretty much, and Terry was like on the edge of

286
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 4: his seat the whole time, just like loving it, as

287
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 4: I'm sure you guys would have been.

288
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: Oh it was By the way, is there one thing

289
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: that you said you did you talked about that he

290
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: like pinpointed right away, you know, I mean like negative

291
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: speak things like that that golfers can do. Was there

292
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: one thing in those initial conversations that he saw in you,

293
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 3: As you mentioned, you're not the first person to have

294
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 3: these thoughts or these feelings or these situations that you're

295
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 3: going through. Was there one specific thing that he noticed

296
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: with you and went, let's avoid this or we can

297
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 3: change this so we can work on this.

298
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think a lot of it for me has

299
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 4: always been confidence, not just in terms of like putting

300
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 4: or whatever, just like overall, like confidence in myself that

301
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 4: I can win I can be, you know, a top

302
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 4: player like he saw in me. He was. I remember

303
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 4: he Bubba told me that. He's like he went to

304
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 4: him after we're like nine holes in and he's like, so, like,

305
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 4: what's this girl's deal, Like why is she not winning

306
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 4: on tour right now? And he was like, One, at

307
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 4: that point, it was putting. My putting was awful, but two,

308
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 4: it was a lot of it ended up being just

309
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 4: like again, I wasn't recruited, like I walked on in Virginia,

310
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 4: like I never thought. I like, if you would have

311
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 4: told me at the beginning of this year that I

312
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,599
Speaker 4: was going to win once littlone twice like be on

313
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 4: the Soul, I wouldn't have believed you. I mean, obviously

314
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 4: that's what I was trying to do in working towards,

315
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 4: but like that, my belief, just in my confidence wasn't

316
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 4: really there at that point. And I think Terry's helped

317
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 4: me a ton with that because he's I mean, he

318
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 4: was with Anica for nine years in her prime. You

319
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 4: know that he has sixty nine wins with her, fifty

320
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 4: five on the LPGA. Like he's been around the best, right,

321
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 4: And so like when he tells me something. I'm like, Okay,

322
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 4: like you've seen it. He's not gonna bes me. He's

323
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 4: not gonna just tell me that just to make me

324
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 4: if he wouldn't be working with me if he didn't

325
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 4: believe it. Because he's mostly retired at this point, so

326
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 4: it's like him telling me certain things just has just

327
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 4: because it's not anything that a lot of other people

328
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 4: haven't told me, but like, for whatever reason, with him,

329
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: it has just like stuck a little bit more. I think.

330
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

331
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 2: One of the things Lauren about tournament golf is just

332
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: is so hard to win in general anywhere. I mean,

333
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: Shane and I have a hard time winning our local

334
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 2: club championship or a little match play thing. You know,

335
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 2: when was the Canada? When was the last time you

336
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: won a golf tournament? Was it on the Semetra Tour

337
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: or Mini Tours?

338
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 5: Yeah?

339
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 4: I won, so right out of college, I turned pro

340
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 4: immediately didn't have any status. So I played a couple

341
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 4: of state opens in that summer getting ready for Q school,

342
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 4: and I won both the Tennessee Open and the Colorado

343
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: Stayed Open. And then twenty eighteen, when I was a

344
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 4: rookie on the LPG, I went down and played an

345
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 4: EPSENT event and ended up winning that EPSENT event. But

346
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 4: up until then, that was twenty eighteen, so that would

347
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 4: be the last time I'd won anything. You have money,

348
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 4: I mean.

349
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: You're saying six years. I mean again to Marty's point, Yeah,

350
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 3: that is. I mean, it's learned. It's situational, it's uncomfortable.

351
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: It's like you get yourself in that position. Are you

352
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 3: leaning on Terry more than you thought you would? Are

353
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 3: you leaning on the rotella conversations? Are you leaning on

354
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 3: your own confidence? Or are you just out there playing

355
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: golf because you're trying to close out a golf tournament.

356
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: It's a big, big golf tournament.

357
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. When Terry and I first started working, like the

358
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 4: first he came up, we were to start working at Mizuho,

359
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,479
Speaker 4: and he was going to be cadding for Nasa Hatiyoka

360
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 4: at the Founder's Cup because the caddies that actually connected us,

361
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 4: He's really good friends with Greg caddy's for NASA. But

362
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 4: his daughter was graduating college, so Terry was going to

363
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 4: take over for him that week just so he could

364
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: be there for his daughter's college graduation. But on his

365
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 4: way up, he kind of stopped through Charlottesvie, and we

366
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 4: spent a couple hours together just to kind of really

367
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 4: get a feel for each other. How do I like things,

368
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 4: this and that. But a lot of what he said

369
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 4: was like how important communication is, and like if you're

370
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 4: feeling because I could, I was telling him at that point,

371
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 4: you know, any type anytime I felt like I got

372
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 4: into certain points, I could feel the anxiety, or I

373
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 4: could feel the adrenaline, you know, like little things like

374
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 4: that that or if I could feel uncomfortable whatever he knew.

375
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 4: He was basically just like communication is the most important thing.

376
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 4: Like I can't help you if you don't tell me

377
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 4: what you're feeling. He's like, I still may not be

378
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 4: able to, but like I definitely can't if you're not

379
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 4: telling me what's going on. And so I remember at

380
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 4: Mizuho our first week, I made a birdie on the

381
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 4: fourteenth hole, Yeah, fourteenth hole, to kind of get to

382
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 4: within like two of the lead. I saw the leader

383
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 4: board just like on accident, and I got pretty like

384
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 4: the leaders were still on like seven or eight, Like

385
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 4: it was not even like I wasn't even really that close,

386
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 4: but I got like pre jacked up about it a

387
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 4: little bit, and I ended up making a couple of

388
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 4: bogies coming in and I remember being like, man, I

389
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 4: should have told him that I was feeling kind of

390
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 4: like some adrenaline on that fifteenth teen. I didn't, So

391
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 4: I remember like texting me, I mean, like I felt it,

392
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: I didn't tell you, like it won't happen again, like

393
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 4: and so pretty much that's just what a lot of

394
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 4: what I've been talking through him, you know, like a

395
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 4: Canada Sunday morning, when during my warm up, I could

396
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 4: definitely kind of feel I was getting a little quick

397
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 4: just because you know, I'm excited, right I'm I'm one

398
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 4: shot back of the lead, like I'm playing really really

399
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 4: great golf, and I could feel, you know, I was

400
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 4: just in my tempo was just a little click and

401
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 4: I could feel it. So, you know, I told him,

402
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 4: and I'm sure he could see it, but I was

403
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 4: so you know, he talked through I can't even really

404
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 4: remember what he said, but you know, he's like, of

405
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 4: course you're gonna want it, this is your dream. It's

406
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 4: okay that you want it, but you can't let that

407
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 4: extra energy like get in the way. You need to

408
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 4: focus it in on what you're doing.

409
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think just the just you've kind of learned

410
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 2: that skill of self awareness. It sounds like, Lauren, right.

411
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, yeah, and like again it's okay to feel

412
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 4: those things. Everybody feels them, but I've learned that like

413
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 4: keeping them internal, which is what I've done for most

414
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 4: of my career, just trying to get over it. Like

415
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 4: just know I can do it myself. You know, I

416
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 4: can do everything myself. I don't need anybody's help. And

417
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 4: it's like no, like people want to help you. People

418
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 4: want to whether it's your swing or putting or whatever,

419
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 4: like Catie, like they they want it. They're there because

420
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 4: they care, and so let them help you.

421
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: Lauren.

422
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: There's a lot of guys on Instagram that will tell

423
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:57,959
Speaker 3: you if you need any swing tips too.

424
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure they could just reach out and hitch out there.

425
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 3: I've been getting a few of those lately, by the way,

426
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 3: because I'm going through some swing stuff and I'm like, thanks,

427
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 3: appreciate that.

428
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't know I was gonna get

429
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: that either.

430
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 3: You told you told a great story on the NLU

431
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 3: Live Show on Sunday about something Terry said to you.

432
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 3: The Canadian Open to the leech Ravino line. Can you

433
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 3: just share a what he said and be how that

434
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 3: conversation started.

435
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I don't really even know how it started.

436
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 4: I think we were playing a practice around either Monday

437
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 4: or Tuesday, and he was like, you know, like Lee

438
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 4: Chavino won three National Opens in a year. You know,

439
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 4: we're going about to have three in like four weeks, Like,

440
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 4: you know, we could do that, And then we ended

441
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 4: up winning Canadian Open. And then you know, last week

442
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 4: we were talking on the phone about something about leading

443
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 4: up or in the off week before Scottish and we

444
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 4: were talking about something and he's like, you know, just

445
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 4: you know, just letting you know about your letting the

446
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 4: subconscious know. You know again like Lee Chavino won three

447
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 4: National Opens in one year, Like we can do that too,

448
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 4: two for three, two or three?

449
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: Now, by the way, what a call, Marty?

450
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 3: You just throw that out there, just nonchalantah, go, you know,

451
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 3: Lee Trevino did this.

452
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: I think Tiger did it as well. Right, didn't Tiger

453
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: pull that off as well?

454
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 5: You won?

455
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 3: I think you might have won the US the Open

456
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 3: in the Canadian one year. I think maybe in two thousand,

457
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 3: but not a lot of people have pulled off the

458
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 3: three peats, So we're gonna be We're gonna be.

459
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 4: Pulling back in nineteen seventy one.

460
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 3: Too crazy, crazy, We're gonna be pulling very very hard,

461
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 3: very hard for you. I mean, Marty, you're a guy

462
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 3: that's played a ton of competitive golf, and you've won

463
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 3: a lot of golf tournaments. You've played against some of

464
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 3: the best players in the world. When you feel the

465
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 3: leap happened, personally, how fun is it to ride the

466
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 3: wave like for you? How fun is it to ride

467
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 3: the wave when it's rocking and rolling?

468
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 5: Yeah? No, super fun. I mean I think my Lauren.

469
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: My like highlight of my career is I played in

470
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 2: the PGA Championship at Bethpage and I made the cut.

471
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 2: That was like my life's dream is a working golfer.

472
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 2: And early in that week I had to practice around

473
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 2: a range with Francesco Mollinario just won the Open Championship,

474
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: almost won the Masters, and I kind of had that

475
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 2: same experience you talked about, where, you know, here's one

476
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: of the hottest player in the world. I played a

477
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: practice round with him and I was hitting better than him,

478
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 2: you know, So it was that kind of got me

479
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 2: over the hump a little bit and gave me that

480
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: little confidence or that self belief that hey, I gave

481
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 2: myself permission to do good, you know, and I had

482
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 2: my team going a lot, a lot of just very

483
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 2: positive things happening, not only with my mechanics and my

484
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 2: technical part of my game. But yeah, I think just

485
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: having that, you know, something about having that holistic momentum

486
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 2: giving yourself permission. I think that what you mentioned about

487
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 2: the national championships in one year, it is that little

488
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: seed in your subconscious that you know, maybe you realize

489
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: is there when when you're out playing or not, but

490
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: it's given yourself that permission to win.

491
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 5: Right.

492
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that talk with Ortella, that was one of the

493
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 4: things that we talked about. Like he talked about how

494
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 4: everybody has they're at this like comfort zone. Right for

495
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 4: some people, He's like, it's people who shoot always shoot

496
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 4: between like sixty eight and seventy two. You know, there's

497
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 4: this like subconscious like comfort zone that if they're you know,

498
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 4: if they're six over with four to play, they're going

499
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 4: to make some birdies coming in to shoot to get

500
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 4: in that number, whereas they're you know, if they're six

501
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 4: under through twelve, they're going to make bogies coming in

502
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 4: and always kind of be in that that number that range, right,

503
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 4: because that's where they think that they should be. They're subconsciously,

504
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 4: So that was a lot of what we talked about,

505
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 4: or what he talked about, like just getting over that hump.

506
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 4: The next part was like you just have to start subconsciously,

507
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 4: start thinking about it, like not really consciously, so that

508
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 4: you're subconscious will then kind of take over, so like

509
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 4: just thinking about not just hitting the shots and making

510
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 4: the putts, but like thinking about winning and that type

511
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 4: of sense, and a lot of it was like visualization

512
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 4: and things like that talked about. But I was like, oh,

513
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 4: I've never really thought of it like that. You know,

514
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 4: when I was in the early part of my career,

515
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 4: all I was thinking about was the cut, right, So

516
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 4: where was I always right around the cut?

517
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 5: Yep.

518
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 4: And then eventually I started to feel more and more comfortable,

519
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 4: and you know, I wasn't really thinking about to cut anymore,

520
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 4: but I was always finishing between like twentieth and fortieth

521
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 4: and then eventually it's just gotten higher and higher, And yeah,

522
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 4: I think that was part of it. Was Eviyon. I

523
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 4: think showed me that No I could win out here.

524
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 4: Even though I didn't end up winning, I think Evon

525
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 4: showed me that I could, Lauren.

526
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 3: I wanted to ask about the relationship with no laid

527
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 3: Up because you know, their buddies of mine. I've known

528
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 3: them for a long time. I love what they do

529
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 3: with their program with players, especially early on, you know

530
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: with some of the players where I'm not exactly sure

531
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 3: they knew what they were doing, but they wanted to

532
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 3: kind of, you know, promote and throw some money at

533
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 3: certain players out there that they liked or that they

534
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 3: were following, or that they knew. How has that relationship

535
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 3: helped your confidence helped? You know, the people out there

536
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 3: on social media, fans things like that, that are following you,

537
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 3: that are interested in you. What has that relationship in

538
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 3: dynamic been like over the last few years.

539
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 4: Yeah. So in twenty nineteen, they tweeted out that they

540
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 4: were starting the Young Hitters program, which was basically their

541
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 4: sponsoring Like, I think it's about six guys on the

542
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 4: corn Ferry Tour, and I followed Tron and I followed

543
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 4: like the main Twitter account. Honestly, at that point, I

544
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 4: didn't even know that there was like five guys. Like.

545
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 4: I listened to the podcast, but I mainly just listened

546
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 4: to the interviews. I didn't really listen to the recaps

547
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 4: or anything. I was like, man, I do enough golf,

548
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 4: Like I don't need to be capping every PJA tour event.

549
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 4: But I loved the interviews. And then my husband started

550
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 4: found their YouTube channel and so he was really into

551
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 4: them as well at this point. And so I saw

552
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 4: Teron tweeting out that they're thinking about doing maybe someone

553
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 4: on the epsyn or LPGA, and so I was like, Okay,

554
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 4: I'm just going to shoot my shot. So I sent

555
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 4: them a DM on Twitter in like March, and I

556
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 4: think he posted it, which is like embarrassing going back

557
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 4: and reading it now six years later or five years later.

558
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 4: But he I messaged him in like the beginning of March,

559
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 4: and in September he messaged me back being like, let's

560
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: do it. How much was always said like it was

561
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 4: like circling He never yeah for six months and it

562
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 4: was like just like it was like circling back, let's

563
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 4: do this, Like that's literally all he said in it,

564
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 4: Like it was like four words. So then I ended

565
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 4: up meeting them. I ended up meeting Tron and DJ

566
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 4: at a coffee shop in Jacksonville after the Semetro Tour

567
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 4: Championship because I was gonna be driving back up that

568
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 4: way going back home, so I don't know. I talked

569
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 4: with him in a coffee shop for like an hour

570
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 4: and a half and just like handshake, like, hey, we're

571
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 4: doing tourist Sauce in like two months. If you want

572
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 4: to stop down in Pinehurst while we're there. I was like,

573
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 4: all right, cool, sounds good. But yeah, So that's kind

574
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 4: of how it started. And then this the relationship just

575
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 4: kind of grew from there. You know, I got pretty

576
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 4: involved with you know, my husband. Again, my husband was

577
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 4: a huge, huge fan of theirs too, and so he

578
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 4: joined you know, the Refuge their message board, and so like, okay,

579
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 4: he was loving it, So like okay, I'll get on it.

580

605
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,480

Speaker 4: twenty two, so I played Scottish over there, and then

609
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 4: I had to go do the qualifier for the British

610
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 4: which was at North Barrack, which was awesome.

611
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,520

Speaker 4: played Don Donald and I like dun Donald a lot,

616
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 4: but it's not quite true Links golf, I would say,

617
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 4: just because it's a lot of elevated greens. It's not

618
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 4: quite as firm as I don't know, like when I

619
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 4: went and played North Barrick, like there was a be

620
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 4: a bunker, you know, like two eighty out and I

621
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 4: was hitting like four hybrid to stay short of it,

622
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 4: like when it was down wind, just because the ball

623
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 4: just like does not stop. And so like it's just

624
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 4: very different, like that doesn't happen at dun Donald just

625
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 4: because there's a lot more undulation and raised greens and stuff.

626
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 4: So like that was my first real like holy crap,

627
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 4: this is what Links golf is. And then really struggled

628
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 4: in the wind back then, and then last year I

629
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 4: was like okay, I got to figure out the wind,

630
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 4: the ball does a lot, especially off the tee. Like

631
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 4: I got to get better at this, and so right

632
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,239
Speaker 4: before the Scottish last year, I actually switched from the

633
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 4: PROV one X to the pro V just because I'd

634
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 4: kind of done a little bit of testing. I'd always

635
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 4: played the X pretty much since college, and so I

636
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 4: switched to the PROV because I was getting similar, similar, launch,

637
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: similar everything. Just I was getting like a couple of

638
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 4: undred RPMs less spin, and so I was like, oh,

639
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 4: I mean just less spin a couple if it's only

640
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 4: a couple hundred, like that makes a big enough difference

641
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 4: to where like maybe my ball won't especially in crosswinds

642
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 4: like do some crazy stuff. And so I switched and

643
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 4: it made a huge difference. I made the cut at

644
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 4: Dundonald last time for the first time and played, I

645
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 4: hit some. I played really well in the wind that week,

646
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 4: and then went to Walton Heath, which was more park

647
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 4: It's heath Landed wasn't really links. So this was my

648
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 4: third time over playing link skullf Do.

649
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: You love it?

650
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 5: Like?

651
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: Is it? Are you into it?

652
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 4: Very much?

653
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 5: So?

654
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. I just feel like weekend and

655
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 4: week out a lot of it's just like, oh, hit

656
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 4: it as high landed by the pin, you know, like

657
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 4: hit a straight ball.

658
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: Whatever, how far does my seven iron go?

659
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 4: That's what I'll hit it right exactly, Whereas this, it's like,

660
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I couldn't tell you how far I was

661
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 4: trying to hit a lot of things, like I have

662
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 4: my stock six iron carries about one hundred and sixty

663
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 4: eight yards. Last week on the full pole, three of

664
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 4: the four days I hit six iron and the yardage

665
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 4: was between like one hundred and eighteen yards and one

666
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty five yards.

667
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: So sick god, I love that so much.

668
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 4: Like I mean, I was like in the whole before,

669
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 4: similar yardage, but not quite as exposed. So I was

670
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 4: hitting like eight iron from like one hundred and eighteen

671
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 4: yards or like seven iron from one hundred and twenty yards,

672
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 4: whereas like the next sold's way more exposed, a little

673
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 4: bit more dead into and I'm hitting six iron like

674
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 4: pin high and I'm not hitting full shots. I mean,

675
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 4: it's just I'm just trying to get it just going

676
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 4: through the wind as straight as I possibly can get

677
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 4: it and just get it going. I don't know, that's

678
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 4: it's a lot more fun there's a lot more feel

679
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 4: and like you have to be one more creative. It's

680
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 4: it's a lot more fun.

681
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 3: I think it's it's fun, it's different, it's unique, and

682
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 3: again if you embrace it. As you mentioned the conditions

683
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 3: this week expected to be windy and kind of nasty

684
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 3: at Saint Andrew's, I was gonna ask you, I mean,

685
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 3: not just because the way you're playing right now, because

686
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 3: obviously you're playing as good as anybody on the LPGA Tour,

687
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 3: and I know you're excited about this, and I want

688
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 3: to ask a couple questions about the old course, but

689
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 3: in terms of golf tournaments and anticipation and excitement, where

690
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 3: does an Open at St. Andrew's Land on your list?

691
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,719
Speaker 3: Is it a top the list? Is there anything that

692
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 3: can beat this?

693
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I think the only thing that will beat

694
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 4: it will be Solheim an hour from where I live

695
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 4: in a couple of weeks.

696
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: That'll be dirty.

697
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, But I mean this is like, like both of

698
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 4: these two events are like once in a career type opportunities.

699
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 4: Getting to go play the Open at an old course

700
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 4: and then playing the Solheim Cup in your home state,

701
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 4: like an hour from where you live. Like those are

702
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,239
Speaker 4: like you know, people don't get to do like that

703
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 4: doesn't happen for everybody, and so yeah, I mean I'm

704
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 4: extremely excited, especially like you know, this was marked on

705
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 4: the calendar as soon as I knew my dad, my

706
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 4: dad and my uncle are getting here tomorrow. So it's

707
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 4: it's going to be it's gonna be an awesome week.

708
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: What was your first Uh, so you just went around

709
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 2: it for the first time today where you just off

710
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 2: the golf course when we're talking to you, now, what

711
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: was your first impression? Granted you were out there in

712
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: some pretty breezy conditions and kind rained on a little

713
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: bit as I understand it.

714
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, it was very windy, but

715
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 4: I mean it was pretty windy last week at Done

716
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 4: donald so that wasn't too too different. But it's a

717
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 4: lot it's I had heard and again I've walked it before.

718
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 4: Two years ago a friend of mine had a one

719
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 4: more spot open up, but I let my husband play

720
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 4: and I just walked.

721
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: Look at you.

722
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 3: It's like you don't need to get a Christmas gift

723
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 3: or aniversary gift or stuff like that.

724
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 4: So I couldn't remember a lot of like the front nine,

725
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 4: you know, I knew obviously I could picture like seventeen

726
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 4: eighteen one, but a lot of the other holes kind

727
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 4: of all blended together. But yeah, I mean there's a

728
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 4: lot of just blind shots and you just have to

729
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 4: trust that, like, no, this is where you got to go.

730
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 4: And so a lot of what we were doing today

731
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 4: was Terry just being like are you good with the

732
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 4: line that I'm giving you? Are you good? Like does

733
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 4: that look okay to you? You know, just making make

734
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 4: sure everything felt good. I mean there's times out there

735
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 4: where like we're gonna be hitting in the rough, probably

736
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 4: on purpose. There's a couple holes just trying to make

737
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 4: sure you stay out of the bunkers, just because there's

738
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 4: no really other way to other place to hit it.

739
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 4: I think hold twelve specifically, like we're probably gonna be

740
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 4: hitting it in like the right.

741
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 3: Ruck crazy golf hole, the crazy I contend, and I

742
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 3: played a decent amount of golf around this great world.

743
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 3: I don't think there's a crazier hole than twelve. And

744
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: Laura and I Caddie did Saint Andrew's out of college

745
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 3: for four or five months. I still don't know where

746
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 3: to hit it on twelve. And I definitely don't know

747
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: where to tell people to hit it. So I'd get

748
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: on that times and i'd have some American golfer, you know,

749
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 3: I'm carrying his bag, and I was like, I kind

750
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 3: of hope he doesn't hit my line. I'd tell him

751
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 3: because if he hits, it's probably gonna be in a bunker,

752
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 3: like that hole is just bananaly Yeah, I.

753
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 4: Mean, so the wind was pumping hard off the right,

754
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 4: so I was pretty much going at the cart path today.

755
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 3: Which Marty, I mean, it's almost out of bounds, you know.

756
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess.

757
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 3: I guess technically now you're aiming on another golf course

758
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: to try.

759
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I actually ended up I think it ended

760
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 4: up just going into the fairway, but like that's where

761
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 4: I was aiming, was like at that right, but he

762
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 4: was also saying like left and I might go left

763
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 4: rough yeah yeah, yeah, So but like that's so like

764
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 4: again like that like no one like where you're never

765
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 4: going to try to hit it in the rough in

766
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 4: the US exactly right, like we're trying to. Yeah, but

767
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 4: like my pro am guy was like, you were aiming

768
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 4: down that way. I'm like yeah, Like he's like I

769
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, we're like Terry brought but out the

770
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 4: book was like, yeah, those are the two places I have,

771
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 4: Like that's where you need to go. And he was

772
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 4: like it took him a while to be like because

773
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 4: you can't really see the bunkers from the tee, right,

774
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 4: So we're like, yeah, there's a bunch of bunkers like

775
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 4: all right in there, so we don't want to be

776
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 4: in any of those. There's no really place to hit

777
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 4: it between them, so yeah, we're going to hit it

778
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 4: over here in the rough. And he's just like like

779
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 4: what I was like, Well, Terry's going to like the water.

780
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 4: He's like, yeah, the rough's fine. It's like pretty thin

781
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 4: over there, like you have no problem getting in on

782
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 4: the green. And as soon as he got up there,

783
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 4: he's like, oh, I kind of see it now, but

784
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 4: he was just like his mind was like he just

785
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 4: couldn't comprehend them, Like, yeah, no, I'm trying to hit

786
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 4: it in the right ruff pretty much and not right

787
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 4: down the middle of the fairly.

788
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 2: What was the longest putt you had today, because there's

789
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 2: some long ones out there.

790
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 4: Seventeen I think it was my longest one today. So

791
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 4: I hit it right down the middle. We misjudged the

792
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 4: wind just a little bit.

793
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was what'd you aim at? By the

794
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: way on the building? What was your line? Do you remember?

795
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 4: Yeah? So I think I was aiming again. One was

796
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 4: pumping hard off the right, so Terry wanted me to

797
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 4: hit it over the h and O in the hotel, okay,

798
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 4: And I ended up hitting it kind of just over

799
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 4: the l in hotel and it was right in the

800
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 4: center a fairly so great, but it was like right down

801
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 4: the middle. But I had one hundred and seventy five

802
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 4: yards I think to the pin, and and we thought

803
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 4: like one seventy was playing like one eighty five, which

804
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 4: is what we were trying to hit it, And it

805
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 4: was like front, it was like kind of back right

806
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 4: was the pin. And I ended up hitting like I

807
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 4: tried to hit just like this punch like four hybrid,

808
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 4: and the wind just didn't never really touch it. So

809
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 4: I ended up going way back left of the green.

810
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 4: So I don't know. I probably had one hundred feet

811
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 4: probably close to it.

812
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, are you are you like this week? Will you

813
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 3: be putting from off greens? You know to a certain point?

814
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 3: Are you a hybrid chipper? Do you take like a

815
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 3: seven iron, Like, what's your plan for shots that aren't

816
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 3: on the putting surface, But obviously at St. Andrew's the

817
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 3: grass kind of plays the same.

818
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, if I can putt it, I'm gonna

819
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 4: putt it for sure. But I also I don't mind

820
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 4: hitting on tight low, so I will be chipping probably too.

821
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 4: But it's just going to depend, right, Like if there's

822
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 4: a huge like if I have a lot of if

823
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 4: there's like some huge like some crazy stuff that if

824
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 4: I putt it, I'm gonna have to put through all that,

825
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 4: Whereas if I chip it, I can kind of chip

826
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 4: it around it. I probably will. But if I can

827
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 4: putt it, I'm gonna putt it. Absolutely. Eleven today, it's

828
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 4: like the Caddy's joke. It's like the shortest par five

829
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,479
Speaker 4: in the world, right, And it was pumping in off

830
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 4: the left, like hard off the left and in and

831
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 4: again just kind of the windows didn't really kind of

832
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 4: get it, and I ended up in the over the green,

833
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 4: which is like.

834
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: Dead dead dead.

835
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 3: I can't give you much advice, as I told you

836
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 3: my advice on twelve, but I can tell you a

837
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 3: couple of places not to hit it.

838
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, as soon as you hit it and we saw

839
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 4: it balanced Terry it was like, that's like, I cannot

840
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 4: believe I just did that?

841
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: Or has has Terry caddied at before?

842
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 4: Oh seven? He cat yeah, O seven with Anika. They

843
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 4: finished seventh. He has his book which is awesome from them,

844
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 4: which is sick. I mean it's tiny compared to like

845
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 4: the books that we have now. It's it's so small.

846
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 4: But yeah, so he has and he has all the

847
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 4: notes in there from them, which is really cool. But yeah,

848
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 4: I'm as I'm way long and end up going all

849
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 4: the way down the swale up into just into the goal,

850
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 4: like into the tall stuff, and I hit I took

851
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 4: my three hybrid out and I don't know, there's no

852
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 4: way I could ever do it again, but I hit

853
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 4: it till like fifteen feet. It was unbelievable, like literally

854
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 4: probably the best shot I've hit in like a really

855
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 4: really awesome time. I was like, God, this is gonna

856
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 4: be such a sick three. I ended up not making

857
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 4: the platt but save I mean Bogey. He was like

858
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 4: on the tee, Terry was like, you're gonna make four here,

859
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 4: probably a couple of times, and that's gonna be a

860
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 4: great score. Yeah. No, it was. It's been It's been

861
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 4: super fun getting to play it. Though. I'm excited. I'm

862
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 4: gonna go play the back again tomorrow and so I'm

863
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 4: really looking forward to that.

864
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 5: Nice Lauren.

865
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 2: Do you make any equipment adjustments for Dundonald in St.

866
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 5: Andrews's trip?

867
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 4: Over most of this year, I've used an H grind

868
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 4: on my fifty eight degree, but I went to a

869
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 4: tea grind last week.

870
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 5: That makes a lot of sense. Yeah, that makes a

871
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 5: lot of sense with the turf over there.

872
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I had used a tea grind most

873
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 4: of last year, so it wasn't anything like, it wasn't new.

874
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 4: It wasn't new, but the H grind is new, so

875
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 4: I switched to that kind of towards I think during

876
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 4: the Phoenix event I switched to the H grind. But yeah,

877
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 4: so Jack, the LPGA rep brought me, had sent me

878
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 4: one just in case I wanted it, and I definitely

879
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 4: needed it last week. Like I was chipping around, I'm like, gosh,

880
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 4: this It wasn't that. AHE grind is too much bounce,

881
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 4: so it was just too wide. The tea grind is

882
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 4: just a lot thinner, so it just goes through it, Yeah.

883
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 5: Narrower for the for the firmer turf.

884
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Lauren, you come off a win this past

885
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 3: week and as we were talking about with St Andrews

886
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 3: and the old Course in the Open, I mean, obviously

887
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 3: it's a big week. You played great in the majors

888
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 3: this year. We've talked about obviously the a couple of

889
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 3: top fives you've had. How do you get yourself right

890
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 3: back into the mode where I'm going to go out

891
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 3: and try to win versus being a bit exhausted or

892
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 3: you know, putting a lot out there last week to

893
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 3: win the Scottish How do you kind of recommit everything

894
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 3: and re energize yourself to get prepared and ready to

895
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 3: rock on Thursday.

896
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 4: Yeah. So Canada, I didn't really get to celebrate that much.

897
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 4: I just how the travel ended up and a lot

898
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 4: of my friends were gone. A lot of my friends

899
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 4: were at the Olympics, so like a lot of my

900
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 4: friends weren't around, and so it took me a couple

901
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 4: of days I would say to kind of like really

902
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 4: kind of get not get over it, but kind of

903
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 4: come down from the high and everything. And so we

904
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 4: went to the dun Vegan, had awesome time, like a

905
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 4: lot of my friends were like Caddy friends were there

906
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 4: and friends, and so I didn't really have it, you know,

907
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 4: I chilled out yesterday. I practiced just I went putted

908
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 4: for about pready manage, but that was about it. So

909
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,439
Speaker 4: I haven't really had the had to come down because

910
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 4: I think I actually got it. I got it all out,

911
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 4: you know on Sunday. Yeah, it's felt a little bit

912
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 4: different this time. So but I also think, you know,

913
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 4: I'm very much locked in on trying to get ready

914
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 4: for this week, and I think that's what I'm really

915
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 4: really focusing on. So yeah, I'm going to try to

916
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 4: get some good rest here tonight. I have will later

917
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 4: tea time tomorrow, so hopefully get to sleep in a

918
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 4: little bit. And but I'm first off on Thursday. So

00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 3: What are they doing for range?

923
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: Is it like over there by the clubhouse?

924
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 4: Kind of yes, yes, that's where they are, so.

925

Speaker 3: They have set up on the new that's nice. You

926
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 3: have to go as far as like the normal people

927
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 3: have to go. When you have to go all the

928
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 3: way over there to that practice facility, Lauren, before we

929
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 3: let you go, because we've had you for a bit,

930
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,760
Speaker 3: can you just talk for a minute about your relationship

931
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 3: with Ping over the years and how that's benefited you

932
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 3: throughout your career and how cool it is to have

933
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 3: a club company that obviously Marty and I are such

934
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 3: fans of, but to do so many things and has

935
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 3: kind of a family environment feel to it as as

936
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 3: well as being such.

937
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: A big brand.

938
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I've pretty much played ping since I

939
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 4: was like my first I think real set that I

940
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 4: ever got fit for. My dad got me upset of

941
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 4: ping irons and so the Ping G two L I

942
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 4: still have, like the pitching wedge, the nine iron, and

943
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 4: I think at the eight iron at my parents' house.

944
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 4: So though I pretty much just always played ping my dad.

945
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 4: My dad loved that, you know, they were with the

946
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 4: you know, the whole color code and everything. As I

947
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 4: grew kind of just switched. And then when when I

948
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 4: got to college, Brionna Mao was a teammate of mine,

949
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 4: and she got she knew mister Solheim just because of

950
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 4: the first tea, and so my coach was able to

951
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 4: get a really good relationship with ping, and so I

952
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 4: kind of I was able, and once I got into

953
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 4: college I started. I came down there and got fit,

954
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 4: like really got fit for the first time at ping,

955
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 4: and so pretty much ever since then, they've I've just

956
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 4: always play ping. They're the best. I think, you know,

957
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 4: great people like Scott walbo was. He's no longer the

958
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 4: LPGA rep, but he has been amazing throughout my whole career.

959
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 4: And I just personally love paying. I love the look

960
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 4: of the Irons, I love the feel, I love everything

961
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 4: about them, and so it's been awesome that I've been

962
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 4: able to pretty much play them my whole pretty much

963
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 4: since i've since I was little, since you.

964
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: Got into it. I mean, that's yeah, that's that's that's

965
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: really cool, Marty.

966
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 3: Do you have anything else for Lauren before we let

967
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 3: her rest go to bed and try to go win

968
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:33,280

Speaker 2: and it being so close to home? Tell us just

973
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 2: just let's end on that.

974
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's I think it's just incredible. I

975
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 4: don't really have many words yet. I mean, I'm so excited.

976
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 4: I went I went to my first solhim when I

977
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 4: was at Inverness in twenty twenty one, and I remember

978
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 4: being like, man, this would be like absolutely insane to

979
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 4: be on the other side. And the fact that I'm

980
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 4: going to get to do it, like I said, like

981
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 4: an hour up the road from my house, like in

982
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 4: my home state that I have lived in since I

983
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 4: was ten, Like it's I'm I'm trying my best to

984
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 4: kind of mentally prepare for the crowds, Like I don't

985
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 4: know if I've ever played in front of that many

986
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,479
Speaker 4: people and just you know, the emotions of that week,

987
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 4: then I'm probably gonna feel. That's what I'm kind of

988
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 4: trying to get ready for as the best I can. Luckily,

989
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,839

990
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,800

Speaker 3: and you know, we talked about the two wins and

1013
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 3: playing so well in the Majors, but also the Solheim

1014
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 3: kind of switching gears with the dates and it being

1015
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 3: close to home, and all of a sudden you have

1016
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 3: this opportunity that if you play well, maybe I'll make

1017
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 3: the Soul I'm Cup team or maybe I'm I'm on

1018
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 3: the radar, and you have this great year with this

1019

1023
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 3: out of our fan right now.

1024
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about.

1025
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, it's been, it's been. Well, it's I mean,

1026
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 4: I set the goal right at the beginning of the year.

1027
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 4: That's what I was trying to get ready for. Where

1028
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 4: I was, you know, I was trying to make the team.

1029
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 4: I think after evy On especially and even kind of

1030
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 4: before that, I was trying not to think about just

1031
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 4: making the team anymore. I was like, no, I know,

1032
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 4: want to make sure that I'm best prepared to win

1033
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 4: as many points as I possibly can, not just go

1034
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 4: and be on the team, but actually contribute and play well.

1035
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 4: And that's what I think. That's where all my energy

1036
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,560

1041
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:47,960
