1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on, everybody, how are we doing?

2
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: John Middlcoff, that'd be me, And we're gonna do a

3
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: little go Low podcast because Rory McElroy just won the

4
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: freaking Masters. He completes the Grand Slam wins at Augusta

5
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: in captivating, just fascinating. I mean, I don't even know

6
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: what to say. I don't even have enough adjectives in

7
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: the vocabulary to describe what just went down Sunday afternoon.

8
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: What a roller coaster ride of a golf tournament, in

9
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: a golf round by the young man, the young lad

10
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: from across the pond, but Rory McElroy gets it done.

11
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: So we will dive into everything that we just witnessed.

12
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: This will be a heavy go Low Rory McElroy Masters podcast.

13
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: I went on with Colin as well after the Masters talk,

14
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: a little Masters talk, a little football Nico, the big story,

15
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: the kid from Tennessee that wanted way more money after

16
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: having an average or as the kids would say, mid

17
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: season at best.

18
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: We dove into that.

19
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: So if you want a little football talk as well

20
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,200

Speaker 2: You know, it's funny.

49
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: You walk into the office getting ready to sling some

50
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: takes about the Masters. You've had your notebook out there

51
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: for hours, and you're just thinking, like, what can you

52
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: even possibly say about what we just witnessed? Like most people,

53
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: if you're watching this, you were probably glued for the

54
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: roller coaster that was Rory McElroy.

55
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: And it kind of hit me.

56
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: I don't think any round has I would say been

57
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: like a metaphor or symbolized. McElroy's career starts the first

58
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: hole double bogie. He's tied for the lead with Bryson.

59
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, second hole he's losing. You're like,

60
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: what is going on? Yesterday he started Bertie Eagle Bertie,

61
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: so it was like he started in a blink of

62
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: an eye. He's five under or four under today he

63
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: goes like, how is this happening? And then a couple

64
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: holes go by and all of a sudden he's turning

65
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: into hole ten and he's got a four shot lead,

66
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: and the greatness was on full display. The Greg Norman

67
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: elements to his career were on full display. But unlike

68
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods, who when he got a lead in a major,

69
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: he just suffocated you like an anaconda, Unlike some of

70
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: the legendary players that couldn't get it done, they just

71
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: unravel and the train falls off the tracks and it's just,

72
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, a dumpster fire for a couple hours, and

73
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 1: you feel bad. And in those situations, usually the television,

74
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, Jim Nantz or whoever you know, even some

75
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: of the other like British Open, you don't even show

76
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: the guy. Once you get to like Hold ten, eleven, twelve.

77
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: Today it was just like what is gonna happen? And

78
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: you thought countless times he's gonna win the Masters, He's

79
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: gonna run away with the Masters, and then you thought

80
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: multiple times he's.

81
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 2: Going to lose the Masters.

82
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: He hit one of the worst shots you will ever

83
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: see in your entire life on Whole thirteen when he

84
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: dumps it into the drink, and all of a sudden,

85
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: you're like, this is really about to go down. He

86
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: had a four shot lead about fifteen minutes before that.

87
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he dumps in the drink. He

88
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: double bogies Justin Rose berries a birdie put on sixteen

89
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: and they're tied.

90
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: You're just like, is this is.

91
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: This real life? Is this really going on? And then

92
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: on fifteen he hits an even better shot than he

93
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: hit yesterday, which I would say most people that are

94
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: close to golf or fall the sport say it's probably

95
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: the best shot and most important shot he's ever hit

96
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: yesterday when he hit the six iron into fifteen. Today

97
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: he even hits a more improbable shot because he has

98
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: to hook it around the trees with a seven iron,

99
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: and he knocks it like five feet and you're like.

100
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

101
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: Like we said the total implosion on thirteen to that

102
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: shot on fifteen, it's the ultimate Rory McElroy experience. He's got,

103
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: let's face it, he's got a.

104
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: Little Phil Mickelson to him.

105
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: You never quite know what's gonna happen. Jordan Speith, I

106
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: would say, definitely has that in him, but he's no

107
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: longer that good like Rory is still i'd say right

108
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: now in twenty twenty five the best player in the world.

109
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this third win of the year.

110
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: No one's playing better. And for the most part, I mean,

111
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: he had some crazy holes today. He was easily the

112
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: best player in the tournament. You know, Rose actually today

113
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: threw his hat in the ring after a rough day yesterday.

114
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: But he hits that ball in fifteen like he's gonna

115
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: knock this in for eagle. All he's got to do

116
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: is par out and everything's good, and then the putt's

117
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: not even close, and as Emmand said, he got out

118
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: of his stance before the ball even rolled, like two rotations.

119
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: You're like, Rory and tap in birdie. But it felt

120
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: like a letdown. And then he misses on sixteen seventeen

121
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: actually incredible birdie. So he goes birdie on fifteen, par

122
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: sixteen and seventeen. You know, sometimes some of these shot tracers,

123
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: I think mess with us because these guys are hitting

124
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: the ball so far, and sometimes you see the shot tracer,

125
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, that's in the trees, and then it's

126
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: perfectly in the fairway, like on seventeen with Rory, and

127
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: then he knocks it pretty tight, taps in his birdie

128
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, Parr and he wins the Masters

129
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: and then he splits the fairway on eighteen, You're.

130
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 2: Like, this is gonna be easy.

131
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: Dumps it in the bunker again, the most Rory moment

132
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: of all time. Can't get up and down and we're

133
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: going to a playoff. I gotta be honest with you.

134
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: I didn't have much faith he was gonna win the playoff.

135
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: I honestly I thought he was gonna lose. Maybe not

136
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: on the first hole, because if they would have tied

137
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: after eighteen, they would have gone to ten. But I

138
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: just felt like I didn't have any confidence. Now I

139
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: didn't have I technically had money on him, but I

140
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: parlayed him with Colin Morikawa. But I did not believe

141
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: he was gonna win after what happened on eighteen. Again,

142
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: it's not Norman or Speeth or even Rory back in

143
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: the day when he imploded here, because that is just

144
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: an absolute train off the track. Shoot eighty, it's like,

145
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Or dump multiple balls in

146
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: the water, end up losing by several shots. I think

147
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: Jordan was seven under. I saw the screenshot today and

148
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: Danny Willett was two under when Jordan was going to

149
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: hold ten. So we had a five shot lead going

150
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: to the back nine, and then it was just I

151
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: mean a joke. This was every time that he would

152
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: do something incredibly stupid, he would immediately totally redeem himself

153
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: and hit like two of the best shots you've ever

154
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: seen and like tap in birdie. But once eighteen happened,

155
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know how any human being, with

156
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: the motions of what's on the line for this player,

157
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: of the pressure that's on his back for this player

158
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: to win this tournament could go through everything he just

159
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: did for eighteen holes, missed that putt on eighteen, and

160
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: then beat a guy who is just flaming hot. I mean,

161
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: Justin Rose shoots sixty six to day, Barry's like a

162
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: thirty footer on eighteen, goes nuts with the crowd. Has

163
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, for a guy that's more than likely never

164
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: gonna win this tournament, he has been an incredible Masters player.

165
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: After he had the lead on Thursday, I saw the

166
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: stat floating around. He's led this tournament after Thursday five

167
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: different times. He's gonna be runner up in this tournament.

168
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: He's got to be the first guy in Master's history

169
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: to be runner up twice and play in multiple playoffs.

170
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: So you're just like I don't know, man I And

171
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: then Justin Rose hits the fair way on the playoff hole.

172
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: I don't think worry and I listen.

173
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: None of us normal mortals in go, whether you're a

174
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: five handicap or twenty handicap, you're.

175
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: Just putting yourself in Rory's shoes.

176
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: After Rose splits the fairway on the Masters, it just

177
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: feels like you blew it. You're like, how could you

178
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: possibly keep your heart rate down right now? And I've

179
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: seen Rory talk about this. He really works on it.

180
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm awful at this, and sometimes when it crosses my mind,

181
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't even think this would help. But

182
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: he's big on like keeping your mouth shut, you know,

183
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: and breathe through your nose and it slows the heart rate.

184
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: And I was looking at him, I'm like, I can't

185
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: even imagine the mind games he's playing with himself right

186
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: now to calm his emotions. Because if he gets a

187
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: little quick snaps it, you know, he's he's playing that cut,

188
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: which he's done all week long on eighteen and been awesome.

189
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: And sometimes he hits the ball so far that what

190
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: I said about the shot tracer, you think it's going

191
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: in the trees. It's not even close to the trees,

192
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: but I'm like, he's aiming kind of toward, you know,

193
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: the left side of the bunker. He's trying to play

194
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: that power cut probably three twenty three point thirty up

195
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: the hill, and You're like, this could get squirrely in

196
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: multiple ways. He could duck hook it into the trees,

197
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: which any human being that's ever set up for a

198
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: cut has experienced, or which he had done earlier in

199
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: the day, and honestly he had done on seventeen with

200
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: the three wood, but luckily it didn't go far enough

201
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: that what if he just overcuts it and he just

202
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: loses the masters right here? And I just was like,

203
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: would this be the worst thing I've ever seen? Because

204
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: you just find yourself as a human being rooting for

205
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,599
Speaker 1: this guy everything that you just witnessed. You know, he's

206
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: obviously there's never going to be another Tiger Woods again.

207
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: When Tiger got the lead, there really wasn't that much

208
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: drama to it. You just got to watch this guy

209
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: who was like a robot machine killer and it was

210
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: just a thrill ride. And because he's you know, he

211
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: didn't move the needle. He was the needle you stayed glued.

212
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: But I do think that whatever we witnessed today, and

213
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: I'm you know, if this was nineteen ninety two and

214
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated was still around, there would be some incredible

215
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: articles being written about him. Now, the written words kind

216
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: of dead, so it's all gonna be US YouTubers and podcasts.

217
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: But I just that was an experience unlike I've ever

218
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: had watching golf, and obviously the build up when you

219
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: haven't won a major in a decade, the hype coming

220
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: in on him.

221
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: I think I talked about it last week.

222
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: I didn't pull the trigger when it came to betting

223
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: on ry McElroy, not because I didn't think he could win. Hell,

224
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: I've been saying forever. It's like, guys, he's gonna win

225
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: multiple more majors. Don't get fooled by what happened at

226
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: the Open when Cam Smith won it, or what happened

227
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: at LACC when Wyndham Clark won it and he just

228
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: couldn't make a putt in either one of.

229
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: Those events, or what happened last.

230
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: Year at the US Open, which I would say was

231
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: way more devastating relatives than the other two. He's just

232
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: too good. And then he goes this year, he wins

233
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: at Pebble, he wins the players. You're like, this guy's

234
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: fucking playing unbelievable. And then he's cruising on Thursday, he's

235
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: four under and then all of a sudden he doubles

236
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: two of the last three holes and you're like, this

237
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: is a disaster. Then he comes to the next day

238
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: and shoots sixty six.

239
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: Then he shoots sixty six again on on Saturday.

240
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: You're like, this is this is insane.

241
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: But this is the Ry McElroy experience.

242
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: Honestly, it's a little unlike Phil and we thought and

243
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: I have thought coming in today that you know forever

244
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: most of like my I would say junior high to

245
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, ten years ago, for like a twenty year span,

246
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: it was like, we need Tiger and Phil Tiger and

247
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: Phil Tiger and Phil. But golf is not like football,

248
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: where if your two teams are really good and you're

249
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: in the same conference, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes play each

250
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: other every single season. Every single season in the regular season,

251
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna play each other, and it just works out.

252
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: When you're on two of the best teams, you end

253
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: up playing each other all the time. In the playoffs.

254
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: I mean what they've played for the last five years.

255
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: Same thing with Brady and Manning. It's like they're in

256
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: the same conference, they're both winning their division, They're gonna

257
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: automatically play each other every single year, and then they

258
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: end up playing each other in the playoffs. I don't

259
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: know off the top of my head, I would guess

260
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: seven eight times. And obviously it took a long time

261
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: for Manning to get over. But it's all we wanted

262
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: Tiger and Phil. No one ever thought Phil was better

263
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: than Tiger, But could we get a couple of duels

264
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: in a PGA Championship, in a US Open, at the Masters,

265
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean a place where Tiger is five and Phil

266
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: is three? And it just never happened. It just never happened,

267
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: you know why, because it's not two teams playing each other. Really,

268
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: you're playing in the Masters one guy vers ninety five players,

269
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: or the US Open or the PGA Championships one guy

270
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: versus one hundred and fifty. So the statistical likelihood, and

271
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm no math major, just doesn't work out that often.

272
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: And now we get this epic moment last year with

273
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: Bryson Rory, and then we get it again they're in

274
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: the final group on Sunday, and you're like, this is

275
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: everything I always wanted. And again Bryson is gonna go

276
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: down as an all time player, right, He's gonna win

277
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: more majors as well. But this isn't Tiger Phil. But

278
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: this is still pretty cool. I'm like, this is this

279
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: is the modern day. We're getting a rivalry. It's happened twice.

280
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: Two of the last three majors, these two guys have

281
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: gone and in Bryson after a couple of holes, like

282
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: he had nothing, I mean his iron game. It is

283
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: remarkable that he even hung around this tournament. Any human

284
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: being that's ever had the duck hooks now, I wouldn't

285
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: call his the duck hooks, but just like a rope

286
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: draw hook, not quite a hook, not quite a draw

287
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle. It's not a controllable thing. And

288
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: when you hit the ball is hard and as far

289
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: as Bryson, his irons like you can't control it. Especially

290
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: at Augusta. It was like yesterday he held it together

291
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: by his short game. Today he had no chance. I

292
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: mean hell, I mean he hits the ball in the

293
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: water on eleven. He just hit the ball again in

294
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: the water on fifteen. He just couldn't control his irons.

295
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: And when he can't control your ryans, you got no shot.

296
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: So then justin Rose and Ludwig and yeah, man, I

297
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: do believe that what we just witnessed, I don't think

298
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: we've ever seen anything quite like it. And I do

299
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: think that Rory now is in this world where he

300
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: has the career Grand Slam. He's on the short list

301
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: of players. He's the first guy since Tiger to accomplish that,

302
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, the only guy and quote unquote his generation

303
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: with as many majors as Brooks. But when you look

304
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: at the two resumes, the totality the two players, they

305
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: are not comparable. I mean, Rory's in a different stratosphere

306
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: than Brooks, and I think if we were all betting

307
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: on it, and I'm not taking shot at Brooks. I mean,

308
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: Brook's an incredible major player, but he's won two majors, right,

309
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: He's won three PGAs and two US Opens.

310
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: Rory's got them all. And Rory's like peaking and me

311
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: he's playing the best golf of his life.

312
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: I know Rory won four majors when he was young.

313
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: He's a dramatically better player in twenty twenty five, and

314
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: now that he gets this office back, I think the

315
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, the sky is the limit now. I'm hesitant

316
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: to go like he's gonna win ten majors now, but

317
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: you'd be insane to think that he's not gonna win

318
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: a couple more. I'd put the over under probably a

319
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: like he's got five now, probably seven and a half.

320
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: I feel pretty confident he's gonna rattle off a couple

321
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: more now what I get into like eight or nine.

322
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: That feels pretty strong. But I think now he's chasing

323
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: and I can't speak to Jack and Trevino and Arnie

324
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: and the Ben Hogan's and all those guys. You know,

325
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: you can rank them however you want. It's like if

326
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: you're coming at me with Jim Brown and Babe Ruth,

327
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: like I never saw these guys play. We can YouTube

328
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: at all you want. I say it all the time.

329
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: When you were arguing someone as a player, when you've

330
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: watched them in the prime of their career, you have

331
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: a much better argument and a much better leg to

332
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: stand on than you do when you're just like shitting

333
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: on a guy or propping a guy up based on

334
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: just numbers, not having experienced them, I feel very confident

335
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: talking to someone about Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers,

336
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, Tiger Woods, whoever. I'm not gonna be as confident,

337
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: like breaking down Joe Montana and Larry Bird and Jack Nicholas.

338
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: We can google them all we want, but if you

339
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: don't live through their era, it's hard to feel as comfortable.

340
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: And I live through the Tiger and Phil era and

341
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: those you know. Obviously, Tiger I think for me, greatest

342
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: player ever. Now He's never gonna have as many majors

343
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: as Jack. But that's beside the point of the last

344
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: of the Internet era Tigers in a world by himself.

345
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: I would say the number two play of that era

346
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: is also in a world by himself, it's Phil Mickelson.

347
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: Then there's an argument of a group of like six

348
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: or seven guys, and Rory was always a part of

349
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: that argument. Rory, Jordan, Spi, Brooks, Koepka, Ernie Els a

350
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: bunch of guys right, And now I think Rory is

351
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: in hot pursuit of Phil Mickelson. He is one major

352
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: away from tying him. He's basically twenty years younger. Phil

353
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: has forty five career victories. Now, the one thing Phil has,

354
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: which is a remarkable statistic, he has finished second in

355
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: twelve majors. That's pretty nuts. Rory's finished fourth or four

356
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: times second in majors, So Phil's major record finishing second

357
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: is pretty like eye opening. And obviously he's never won

358
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: a US Open, so he doesn't have a career Grand Slam,

359
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: but he's finished second in that tournament I think six times,

360
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: which like to me, adds to the lore because this

361
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: is not football, where either win or loses Super Bowl

362
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: or you win or lose the AFC Championship Game. It's

363
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen can't beat Patrick Malomes, that's a fact.

364
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: Like Phil Mickelson, like he beat basically everyone else in

365
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: the tournament constantly, he just couldn't beat the one guy.

366
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: And famously I think at wing foot when he pumps

367
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: at O B on eighteen. I mean, he had some

368
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: pretty memorable moments. But like that is who now Rory

369
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: is inside of and in the prime of his career

370
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: keep rattling off wins. I think today was his twenty

371
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: ninth wins, so he's sixteen wins behind him in one

372
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: major behind him. So if he can maintain, assuming that

373
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: he stays healthy and assuming now that he has the

374
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: same level of drive, which you know, it's weird the

375
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: last three or four years he's had this thing to

376
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: be chasing, right, and it just kept motivating him, and

377
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,479
Speaker 1: you just wonder, now just human psychology, like is this

378
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: guy just gonna be tiger moving forward and maintain like

379
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: in three days be out there banging balls and working

380
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: out and nothing changes. What maintained this level of play.

381
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: And we've seen it with the Chiefs like Patrick Mahomes

382
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: has not taken the foot off the pedal at all,

383
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: rattling off Super Bowls. Well, Rory has had this huge

384
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: gap of not winning anything in his mind that mattered

385
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: the most, given it's the majors, and chased it and

386
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: chased it and chased it, and a heartache and heartache

387
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: and heartache and heartache finally accomplishes it.

388
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 2: It's like those leadership gurus.

389
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: Talk about, like you bang the rock, you bang the rock,

390
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: and it might take you a year, might take you

391
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: ten years, it might take you one hundred years. Finally

392
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: on that million swing, the rock cracks. But it's not

393
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: actually the million swing that cracks the rock. It's all

394
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: the accumulation of the swings. And that's where all these

395
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: athletes or anyone that's successful talk about.

396
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: It's over and over and over.

397
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: It's about you know the process. And listen, I say

398
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: it all the time. People want to know about Nick

399
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: Saban's process. People want to know about Jeff Bezos's process.

400
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: No one gives a shit about the average guy's process.

401
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: So part of like making quote unquote the process meaningful,

402
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: you got to be really, really successful. And now there's

403
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: no arguing or disputing Rory McElroy and this. I don't

404
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: want to say he's icing on the cake, but it

405
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: feels like that a little bit, and that to me

406
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: is where I go. I would be a little unsure

407
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: what to look for moving forward because if that does

408
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: feel like that is like the rest of this year

409
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: a wash?

410
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 2: Right? Is the rest of this year? Now?

411
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: Listen, he's he would much rather like It's not like

412
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: if he had lost this tournament to Justin Rose with

413
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: that lit a fire under his ass and had him

414
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: just keep grinding and grinding and grinding and maintained this

415
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: high level of play, you would choose winning this tournament

416
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: and then just figure it out moving forward. But Quail

417
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: Hollow is hosting the PGA Championship here in a month.

418
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he's won there a bunch of times,

419
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: and more than likely now with Scotty Scheffler, who actually

420
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: kind of came on at the end, gonna be the

421
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: betting favorite. So I think the question mark is like,

422
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 1: are we getting the same Rory the rest of the year,

423
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: because if we are this, he.

424
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 2: Could win another major.

425
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: Hell, he could win a couple like last year when

426
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: Xander won the PGA Championship, he clearly no foot off

427
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: the pedal, kept it down. A couple months later wins

428
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 1: the Open. All of a sudden, he's got two majors,

429
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: and I don't think how see how anyone who watches

430
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: golf could go well. If Rory just maintains whatever he's doing.

431
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 3: I'd argue he'd be the favorite at definitely the PGA

432
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: and the US Open, and hell, the Open at Royal

433
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 3: Port Rush, like some might call that a home game,

434
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 3: gonna be pretty advantageous for him.

435
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: So I would say, at this point in time, assuming

436
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: that pedals of the mettle and nothing changes from what

437
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: he's been doing, I'll give him the week off this

438
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: upcoming week. But like, I, what would it feel like,

439
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: you know, like he didn't accomplish what he should have

440
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: if he doesn't win another major this year because he's

441
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: been so close to these last couple of years. Now

442
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: he gets this office back, does he win a major

443
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: this upcoming year by four or five? Because I do

444
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: look at him a little differently in these other tournaments

445
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: now than I would previously, where clearly the pressure got

446
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: to him. All you have to do is watch thirteen today.

447
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: All you have to do is watch eighteen. I don't

448
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: understand if you're Rory McElroy, how you don't just hit

449
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: that ball in the middle of the green and I listen,

450
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: I've never been in that situation, just like anyone listening

451
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: or watching has ever been in that situation. But when

452
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: you're that good at golf, when you're in the middle

453
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: of the fairway and you have one hundred and what

454
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: was it forty yard shot? How no matter what, just

455
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: get the thing on the green too putt and we

456
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: win the Masters. To hit that in the bunker is

457
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: like I can't even imagine Tiger Wood's reaction at home,

458
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: like what how does that happen? And honestly, going back

459
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: to thirteen. Someone I had a buddy named Mark send me.

460
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 2: This clip the other day of like a statistical.

461
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: Guy breaking down how you should play par fives and

462
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:47,239
Speaker 1: basically it is always advantage player to go for it,

463
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: because today he lays up and then he dunks it

464
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: into the water where Jim Nantz and Immlman almost fell

465
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: out of the booth so shocked and just dumbfounded on

466
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: how that could happen. But if you go, even if

467
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: you hit it in the water, going in the water

468
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: is a winstroke penalty. So you drop at fifty sixty yards,

469
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: you're hitting four. In worst case scenario, you're gonna be

470
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: putting for part even if it's twenty feet and you miss,

471
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: you tap in a bogie when you lay up, and

472
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: the same thing happens. I mean, it's gonna be very,

473
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: very difficult to bogey. And all of a sudden he's

474
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,719
Speaker 1: got a double and it feels like it might as

475
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: well have been a quadruple, and you could feel it

476
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: on his face. Honestly, that reaction when he hit the

477
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: ground at the end had to be the overcoming of

478
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: like those two shots on eighteen, his second shot, his

479
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: third shot on thirteen. Some of those just god awful putts.

480
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: And again this is all relative to one of the greatest.

481
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: Players of all time.

482
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is a couple more big wins

483
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: away from being like, is he either a top five

484
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: golfer of all time like Tiger or Jack? Is he

485
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: like start being in the mix of the Arnold Palmers,

486
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: Ben Hogan, Gary players. I mean, this is this is.

487
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 2: The company he's chasing.

488
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: And again, Phil, he might not be five, but he's

489
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: definitely closer to five than ten. So you start chasing him,

490
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: you start saying goodbye, Like think about Rory right now.

491
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: Has nothing in common with guys like Justin Thomas. Hell,

492
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: even Jordan Speith. Jordan Spiece is.

493
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: Not that good anymore.

494
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: Kopka, who knows he might never be the same. That

495
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: moment a couple of years ago at the PGA might

496
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: have been his last claim to fame, And there's nothing

497
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: wrong with that. You're five time major champion, Like it's you.

498
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: You're in pretty special company. Dustin Johnson missed the cut

499
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: this week. It is like see audios, So like, who

500
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: are we talking with Scotty? I mean, we we anointed

501
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: him rightfully, So I mean he's won two Majors, but

502
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: they've both been the same tournament. So before we start

503
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: comparing him to some of these other guys, like he's

504
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: got to win another major beside the Masters, and right now,

505
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: it just feels like he's a little off, and it's

506
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: still damn good. He's clearly, you know, one of the

507
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: great talents on the PGA Tour and on any given

508
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: day could beat anybody. But he's not what he was

509
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: last year. You got Xander who's got a fucked up

510
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: rib who I actually think finished a little higher than

511
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: I thought because his name come on the leader boards,

512
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: Like I haven't even I don't even think I've seen

513
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: Xander hit a shot like Colin Morikawa Victor Hovlin. So

514
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, the tour has never been deeper, right,

515
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: And that's not really debatable, right, even relative to what

516
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: Tiger had to deal with in the late nineties early

517
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: two thousands, the depth of talent won through like twenty

518
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: five thirty five like that range. These guys are really

519
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: really good. And some of these older guys we just

520
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: saw it with Justin Rose Adam Scott. I almost said

521
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: Hideki because I feel like a Decki's forty, but he's

522
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: actually like thirty. I think he shot six hundred today

523
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: when before like half the people even turned on the Masters.

524
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: But you know, they're still playing at a high level.

525
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: It's really really deep. This is the best player and

526
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: now where he's going what he did today most Rory

527
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: McElroy round ever, and this little rivalry it doesn't quite

528
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: you know, it's they didn't really go at it after

529
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: like five or six holes because on the third hole

530
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 1: Rory McElroy is actually Bryson takes the lead on two.

531
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: Then by three it flips again because Rory birdie's, Bryson

532
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: bogies and that's it for basically Bryson, because then Rory

533
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: would birdie again and get to twelve, and by like

534
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: hole nine he's thirteen under and Bryson's nine under and

535
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: it was over. Then Bryson hits in the water on eleven,

536
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: Cyanara ejects himself, which happens. I actually think Bryson had

537
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: an incredible respectable week for a guy that was just

538
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: snapping his irons to the left, and he kept saying

539
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: that like, I can't my irons, I can't control the

540
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: face of the club. Now, granted he builds these clubs,

541
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: to do that, but for whatever's happening, and listen, I

542
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: understand he's a grinder, but you have to wonder if

543
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: like he's hitting five bags of balls after Saturday, and

544
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: he's in awesome shape. He looks good, he's found a

545
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: perfect like a sweet spot of not too fat slash

546
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: muscle bound.

547
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: He just looks really good.

548
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: But I wonder if he's gonna have to find some

549
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: balance of like hitting a couple shots on the range

550
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: after round of dial stuff and just bang balls into

551
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: the night like you're.

552
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 2: Thirty years old.

553
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: You only have so much energy, and maybe he ran

554
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: out of juice. But uh, really really cool moment. The

555
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,960

Speaker 2: Post Tiger.

592
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: I think you see it sometimes, like with Mahomes and

593
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,959
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. You know what we got to experience with Brady,

594
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: what we got to experience with Tiger. There are these

595
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: outlier situations even if other guys come and have remarkable careers.

596
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Mahomes, if he never played another snap, what

597
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: he accomplished in like a six to seven year span

598
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: is just Lamar and Josh. I mean, two of the

599
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: best players I've ever seen, been watching football for thirty years,

600
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: are never gonna sniff those accomplishments. It's just not gonna happen.

601
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: If either one were to win multiple Super Bowls, it'd

602
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: be like holy shit, right, And what Tiger would do

603
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: beating these people and just suffocating them, never fucking up.

604
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean part of when you hear these like historians,

605
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: guys like Brandal talk about Tiger, Tiger was pretty boring.

606
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: He was just leave in the right spots, hit the

607
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: right side of the green.

608
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: He two putt.

609
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: He would never screw up. He would never screw up.

610
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: He can't relate to hitting into the water on thirteen,

611
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 1: He can't relate to hitting into the bunker on eighteen.

612
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he's gonna hit it tight. I think sometimes

613
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: you think of Tiger like hitting it three feet on

614
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: every hole, but like never doing that. And sometimes it's like,

615
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: what do they say, dumb loses more games than smart wins.

616
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: It's not that much.

617
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: Different golf, Like the professionals talk about this all the time,

618
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: where do I miss?

619
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: Where do I miss? Where do I miss?

620
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: Because you're not gonna hit perfect shots like Rory shot

621
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: on fifteen when he hits that hook around the trees.

622
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: That's I don't want to say a once in a

623
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: lifetime shot, because he's a once in a lifetime or

624
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: once in a generation type player and he's hit countless

625
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: shots like that. But you don't hit that many shots

626
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: on a Sunday in a major in your entire career,

627
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: right that, Actually that shot is much more the outlier

628
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: than just like just hit it to the left side

629
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: of the green. And tuput or just miss it in

630
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: the right bunker on a par five where you can

631
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: get up and down or leave yourself a pretty good

632
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: BIRDI putt worst case scenario, you par you're up multiple shots,

633
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: like that's how you win a lot of these major

634
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: especially once you get to the US Open, where these

635
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: holes really penalize you with you know, crazy rough or

636
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: missing fairways. And I just think you watched Rory and

637
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: one thing. I don't know if you ever cleaned this up.

638
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: It's part of the package. I mean, this was always

639
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: kind of the part of the package with Phil. And

640
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: it's sad that we don't get much great speech anymore,

641
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: but that's a huge part of it. With speed, is

642
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: like at any moment, on any given shot over like

643
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty yards, anything can happen off the tee.

644
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: Even Rory, who most people consider the greatest driver of

645
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: all time. I think on five he pumped one. There's

646
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: not really out of bounds at the Masters, but you're like,

647
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: is that going out of bounds? He's like stop, stop, stop.

648
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there would just be these moments you're like,

649
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: oh my god, even.

650
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 2: On seventeen where clearly the tracer was off.

651
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: You're like, did he just pump this three wood into

652
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: the trees?

653
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 2: And it's believable. It is believable.

654
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: So I actually think in a weird way, Rory upped

655
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: his like his appeal and this was a huge part

656
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: of the Michelson appeal. Like Tiger's appeal was just I'm

657
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: gonna dominate. I am going to win, right, I'm just

658
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: never gonna lose. And it doesn't mean he actually never lost.

659
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: He definitely did. But when I have a lead, especially

660
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: in a major, chalk it up w for me, and

661
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: most people are not that.

662
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 2: And Rory has just.

663
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: Kind of established himself of like anything can kind of happen. Now,

664
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: the greatest thing happened today, and that's winning the Masters,

665
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: And now he gets to sit at this table with

666
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: these guys from Jack to Tiger to Phil to even

667
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: a lot of his contemporaries, right Dustin Johnson, Jordan Speith.

668
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, that was that was wild. That was I

669
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,479
Speaker 2: really I that was riveting.

670
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: The end was and the beginning was, but there was

671
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: a middle stretch from like six to ten where it

672
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: did feel a little inevitable. I mean, if you look,

673
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: and I'm sure DraftKings will put this out at the

674
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: EBB and flow of his odds. I mean, he starts

675
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: today at minus two hundred, so you gotta bet one hundred.

676
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: You got to bet two hundred dollars to win one

677
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: hundred by the second hole when he's one down, I

678
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: looked and I thought about it, but again it felt

679
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 1: like he might choose like eighty. He was plus one

680
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: thirty five, and then I would imagine when he's multiple

681
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: shots up on like hole nine and ten. I mean,

682
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: at one point in time on ten he got to

683
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: fourteen hunder. My guess is actually think I checked. I

684
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: don't know if it was ten or twelve, he was

685
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: minus five hundred. Well when he takes when Justin Rose

686
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: takes the lead, after he bogies, what hold did he

687
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: boge bogie fourteen?

688
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: I would guess that at.

689
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: Worst he was probably even odds or maybe like minus

690
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: one twenty still to win.

691
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: But man, that was that was wild. Do you know

692
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 2: what's cool is.

693
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: Sometimes in the sports calendar, And there's the great part

694
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: about the reality show that is, you know, the highest

695
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: level of professional sports, whether it's Federer playing Djokovic, whether

696
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: it's Tiger going at it with whoever, whether it's Mahomes

697
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: versus Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. You might get an

698
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: all time great game, you might get a game that

699
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: felt like a blot. I remember laying on my couch

700
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: in what would have been twenty seventeen and falling asleep

701
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: in the first half, quote unquote, falling asleep, like dozing off,

702
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: being pretty bored twenty eight to three, and it was like,

703
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 1: the Patriots are gonna lose this game, like forty to ten.

704
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: And then things happened and that you just never forget.

705
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: And sometimes the things in golf that you never forget

706
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: are to me the two biggest meltdowns of all time,

707
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: or Vandervelt at the Open and obviously Greg Norman here

708
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 1: at the Masters. And in football, twenty eight to three

709
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: is just in a world by itself. I think there

710
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: was when I was really really young. I don't know

711
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: if it was ninety or ninety one, there was like

712
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: a legendary comeback the Buffalo Bills, and I think Frank Reich,

713
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,439
Speaker 1: the new coach for Stanford, was the quarterback. Maybe Jim

714
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: Kelly was hurt and they were playing I think the

715
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: Houston Oilers and we're down. I don't have the score

716
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: of top thirty five to three or something like that,

717
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 1: and came storming back. And you just get these games

718
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: in these moments, and it might be the first round

719
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, it might be a super Bowl, it

720
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: could be a Major. It also just could be just

721
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: a pebble beach and you never know when it's gonna happen.

722
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: And it's what makes all this so fun. And obviously

723
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: now that you know golf gambling and something I've been

724
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: doing now pretty consistently for a couple of years, adds

725
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 1: a huge element to it that that was a wild ride.

726
00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 2: I don't even know who else to talk about.

727
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: A lot of respect, a lot of respect for what

728
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: he did today. And like I said, I truly believed

729
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: when not only when they teed off on eighteen, but

730
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: Rory got to the tee in the playoff, it felt

731
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 1: like five minutes before Justin.

732
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 2: It was like, is Justin Rose?

733
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: Is he just hitting a couple extra balls or is

734
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: he playing mind games with him? Clearly he knows them

735
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: really well. They've been on the Ryder Cup team together

736
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: for fifteen plus years. You didn't quite know and maybe

737
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: it was gonna work. And then he split that team

738
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 1: you're like, oh my god, this is really gonna happen.

739
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 2: So props to Justin Rose, who is a badass.

740
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's another guy's he's only got one major.

741
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean some of these other guys were listed to

742
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: have multiple of his of the last fifteen to twenty years.

743
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: But what a fucking stud, what a badass to be

744
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,720
Speaker 1: playing at this level. That's what's I would say different

745
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: about golf than basically any team sport obviously, even any

746
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: individual sport. The other big individual sport would be tennis.

747
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,240
Speaker 1: You're not gonna play at a high level in tennis

748
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: in your mid forty like you can in golf. I mean, hell,

749
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods won the Masters. I think he was forty

750
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: four and nineteen. That's just not happening. Intend Like you're

751
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 1: not winning Wimbledon at forty four with all these injuries.

752
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: That's just that's never happening. Obviously, in football, basketball, and baseball,

753
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Nolan Ryan just don't. I mean, they're

754
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: outliers for a reason. You know, Roger Clemens was on

755
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 1: who knows what, throwing ninety eight pitching for the Yankees

756
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: and the Astros when he was forty three or forty four. Clearly,

757
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean this is not the case. We're in golf,

758
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: you're seeing guys. I mean, Phil Mickelson won a major

759
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago at like fifty to fifty

760
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: one years old. So you just you can never sleep

761
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: on these guys, the Adam Scotts, the Justin Roses. I mean,

762
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 1: one day, guys like Rory will be forty two years old,

763
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: and it's not inconceivable that some of this guys in

764
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: this generation, like all of a sudden they're in the

765
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: mix to win one of these majors. It's what makes

766
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: like Ludwig, you know, ultimately like he looks like an

767
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: unstoppable for one just actually he just looks like a golfer,

768
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: good looking dude, tall, skinny, beautiful swing, unfazed by screw

769
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 1: ups like I saw Brandal Shamblie talking about it on

770
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: Live fro. Him never throws tantrums in a sport. And

771
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm guilty of this too. I threw one a couple

772
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. People just throw their hat, hit their

773
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: driver on the tea box and make a big divot.

774
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: It's just natural human reaction when you screw up, and

775
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: it just feels like he is completely unfaced now he

776
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: all time meltdown on eighteen. I think he had a

777
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: triple bogie. He three putted seventeen to just kind of unravel.

778
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: But this guy looked like he was poised to like

779
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: back to back year second last year, and looked like

780
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: he was gonna be third this year. Like this guy

781
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: feels like he is coming.

782
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 2: He is.

783
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: I mean this the talent on That guy is oozing

784
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: out of his golf swing. Love Ludwig, fun player to

785
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: watch what a badis. We were actually at a I

786
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: was at a birthday dinner last night, or.

787
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 2: No, it was a couple nights ago. Was it last night?

788
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: I forget wheorse, Oh no, it was last night. We

789
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: were talking about, you know, some of these schools. I

790
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: follow this one guy, one of the best college golfers

791
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: in the country, and he his Instagram. I mean he

792
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: is dating a girl that ten years ago, one hundred

793
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 1: percent probably dates the quarterback at the school. And this

794
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: is a power five like high level program. But if

795
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: you're smart and you go into some of these rooms,

796
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, this quarterback, the guy might be a

797
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: six round pick. This guy is probably going to play

798
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: on the PGA tour for twenty years, and.

799
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 2: I don't know.

800
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: If you see what sits on the back of their collar,

801
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: it says net jets. They don't go to commercial airports

802
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 1: starting at twenty twenty one, twenty two years old.

803
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 2: So Ludwig is a good example.

804
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: He's at Texas Tech from Sweden. Victor was like this

805
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma State. I'm sure they're in the weight room,

806
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: some of these girls chasing the football players. Now, if

807
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: you get the right football player, don't blame you, But

808
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: a lot of those guys a couple of years on

809
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: the practice squad ain't making any coin. That fucker Ludvig

810
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 1: is gonna be worth one hundred million dollars one million

811
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 1: percent by the time he's like twenty.

812
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: Five years old.

813
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: I would be all over that cat, just like some

814
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: of these guys at like Arizona State, Auburn, Alabama, the

815
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 1: best college programs. If the guy's number one or number

816
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: two on your team and he's playing in some PGA events,

817
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 1: date him because that guy usually is a rocket ship

818
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: right to big ass homes, sweet ass lives. Now, that's

819
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: what's changed dramatically about the sport is I think Rory

820
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: today biggest person ever four point two the amount of

821
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: money these guys are winning. Rory's rich before he won

822
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: or lost this tournament. But Maria was telling me a story.

823
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: She was at an open house. There was like four

824
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: or five million dollars and the people coming in to

825
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: see it. Here in Arizona, down in Paradise Valley were

826
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: PGA Tour golfing caddies, the caddies. Now this guy was

827
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: on the bag for I would say, like a top

828
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: fifty player, not like Rory or Ludwig or Scottie. And

829
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: they're looking at homes worth four or five million dollars,

830
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: the caddies. Part of it's the Saudi's the influx of

831
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: money that the PGA Tour at the back. All these

832
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,919
Speaker 1: guys are so rich, not just the top guys, which

833
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: has always been the case Tiger, Phil Jack, Greg Norman.

834
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,479
Speaker 1: I'm talking about like the forty eighth guy on tour,

835
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: the sixty second guy on tour is not only a

836
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 1: multi millionaire.

837
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 2: His caddy is rolling in dough.

838
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: I mean Scotty's caddy last year I think made seven

839
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: million dollars. And that assumes that he's only kicking them

840
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: ten percent. I'm sure they're really close should get other bonuses.

841
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 1: Who knows he might have netted ten million dollars fucking

842
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: Caddy one season. So the money that is flowing on

843
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: this tour, it's not you know, NBA or NFL money,

844
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: because it's weird, Like, beside your sponsors, which the top

845
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: guys make a lot, you got to go earn it

846
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: as the player, right, It's it's the ultimate meritocracy. Like

847
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: the only way you win the big pot of money

848
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: at the end of a tournament is you gotta win

849
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: the tournament. I went to a Suns game, what was

850
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: that Tuesday?

851
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 2: Watch Bradley Beal.

852
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: He's getting paid fifty million dollars, whether he's an All

853
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: Star or whether he gave the lowest effort I've ever

854
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: seen from an NBA player that makes a lot of money.

855
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,479
Speaker 1: In my life of attending sporting events for thirty plus years,

856
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: that I can remember like this is this is crazy

857
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: golfs the opposite. If you want to make fifty million dollars,

858
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: you better win a lot of tournaments.

859
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 2: So a lot of these guys.

860
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,439
Speaker 1: But now it's like you get like six and start

861
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: racking up seven eight hundred thousand dollars a tournament and

862
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: that's that's what really changed, and inevitably all these guys

863
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: get back together, and I'll end on a couple things

864
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: really quick. One takeaway I had is clearly what's cool

865
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 1: about the Masters is everyone gets back together. And John

866
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: Rahm actually showed sight of signs of life after the

867
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: first after the first round. I don't know where he

868
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: ended up finishing, but he definitely didn't have a terrible week.

869
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: Let me just pull up where he finished. I just

870
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: want to read off some of the guys on live

871
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: where they finished. So like Terrell had in T fourteen,

872
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: John Rahm T fourteen, Bryson T. Five, but really he

873
00:42:53,320 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: was right there. Patrick Reid was third. We all know lifts,

874
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: you know got some all time great I mean, John Rahm,

875
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: if he ever came back to the PGA Tour got

876
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: his mojo back, is an elite player. Bryson clearly is

877
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: an awesome player. You could argue though, if that you

878
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 1: could only just get one guy back, just one guy.

879
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: It's the YouTuber It's Bryson d Chambeau. I just think

880
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,919
Speaker 1: like he has separated himself. Now you want him all

881
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: back because part of sports you need.

882
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 2: Good guys, you need bad guys.

883
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: You need crazy guys, you need fun guys, like having

884
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: Patrick Reid around, having Trell hatton helicopter in clubs, like

885
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: you need all that.

886
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 2: But if you could, just if you had to choose, like.

887
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: You're only allotted one guy from Live, it'd be like

888
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 1: the equivalent of like you're drafting number one and Andrew

889
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 1: Lux in the draft. It's not twenty twenty five where

890
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,919
Speaker 1: it's like, well, should we take Travis Hunter number one?

891
00:43:59,200 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 2: It's a no.

892
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: It'd be Bryson. And then I think we could argue

893
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: all day long who's the number two?

894
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 2: That is?

895
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: How much over the last I would say eighteen twelve

896
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: months he's separated from the pack, and his popularity his

897
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: I would just say, overall influence and fame, and it

898
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: feels he's really really famous. Obviously, his high level of

899
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 1: play would not shock me at all. I was already

900
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 1: looking at the odds. I think he's an auto bet.

901
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: The next two majors to win wouldn't shock me at all.

902
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: He's got to dial in these irons a little bit.

903
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 1: But at the PGA Championship or the US Open, clearly

904
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: got a dial in the irons, Like can't win the

905
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: US open with him hitting irons like today. But one

906
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: thing you know about Bryson is like, if you tell

907
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 1: me he's gonna hit balls all week long for eighteen hours,

908
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: like it's believable. As he's shooting youtubes, so he's really

909
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: separated from the pack. And last, but not least, I mean,

910
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: the funniest thing that's ever happened in the history of

911
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: Masters is the kid from Arizona State Ballisteros who it's

912
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: got to be just what an incredible honor has to

913
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: be as an amateur to play in this tournament. He's

914
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: playing with Justin Thomas, he's playing with Scottie Shuffler, and he's.

915
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 2: Got to take a leak.

916
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: I've been there, You've been there. Sometimes you just got

917
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,760
Speaker 1: to take a piss. And he pisses in Rays Creek,

918
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: I would say, easily the most famous body of water.

919
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 2: And it's not even a body of water.

920
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: Let's say stream of water, because we have some famous

921
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: lakes on the PGA tour, and we have you know,

922
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: Pebble Beach on the ocean, but stream of water, not

923
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:25,760
Speaker 1: even close Rays Creek.

924
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 2: He peas in it.

925
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: At the Masters he gets a standing oh because he

926
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: didn't realize that everyone could see him clearly. The Masters

927
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: has to be furious, probably threatens that he's never allowed back.

928
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 2: He calls it a river.

929
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: The coach at Arizona State had gotten kicked out not

930
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: of the of the driving range of the entire tournament

931
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: on Tuesday for wearing shorts, rough forty eight hours for

932
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: Arizona State. Great moment for the University Alabama. Though Nick

933
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: Dunlapp shoots a ninety on Thursday. He was a kid

934
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,959
Speaker 1: that didn't even plan on becoming a pro last year,

935
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: wins in Palm Springs. Doesn't have a choice, just becomes

936
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: a pro, wins again later that year. I think up

937
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: in Reno at the Barracuda wins twice last year on

938
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour. Now I wouldn't call the AMX and

939
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,760
Speaker 1: the Barracudah exactly the Masters and the Memorial. But still

940
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: you win twice on the PGA Tour. Incredible fucking accomplishment.

941
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: Shoots ninety.

942
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 2: Probably wanted to cry. I had to be the most.

943
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: I would guess that Nick Dunlap hasn't shot ninety. I

944
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: would assume he's twenty one, twenty two, twenty three years old.

945
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: Since he was, I would say younger than fourteen, thirteen twelve.

946
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: Maybe he was a late bloomer, so fifteen, but.

947
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 2: That feels stretching it.

948
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 1: I bet he hasn't shot ninety since, honestly, maybe even

949
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 1: since he's been a teenager. And to shoot ninety at

950
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: the Masters and you go on the Masters app and

951
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 1: he's hitting it, I mean, just all over the map,

952
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: dropping his club. It's flying right, it's flying left, and

953
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: he he's like, he had an awesome Instagram post where he's.

954
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 2: Like, this is the worst.

955
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 1: And lowest moment of my entire life. And he sends

956
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: his trainer to go get him one hundred balls at

957
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: target and he just banged him into the woods. And

958
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: then he came out the next day and he shot

959
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 1: seventy one, and at one point in time on Friday

960
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: he was three under. So I remember when I was

961
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 1: watching a couple of years ago when he won at Amex.

962
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: One thing Saban is smart about is he befriends guys

963
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: when he was a coach in Alabama on the golf

964
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 1: team because he plays a lot of golf during the

965
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: offseason and he plays for money, and he always has

966
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: one of those guys on the team. So he was

967
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: buddies with Nick Dunlop because he would always be his

968
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 1: partner when he played, and he called in. I remember

969
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: watching on Golf Channel. He's like calling into the AMX

970
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,720
Speaker 1: or maybe he was on NBC and Saban was so proud,

971
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: like watching Dunlop win this tournament as he was an amateur,

972
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: he didn't even win any money.

973
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 2: And then to have.

974
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: Basically a year later, a little over a year to

975
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: shoot ninety at the Masters, I can't even imagine the embarrassment.

976
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 1: And listen to any human being, whether you're a hundred

977
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: handicap or scratch Chandycap, has been at a moment where

978
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: you just I don't know what's going on on the

979
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: golf course. I have no clue where the SHOT's going

980
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: to go. I have no clue what's going on my

981
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: golf swing. You just feel you're like a cornerback in

982
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 1: the NFL. You're on an island and you got like

983
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: a rolled ankle. You can't run, You got no chance none.

984
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: And for him to bounce back, what an incredible accomplishment

985
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: by Nick Dunlap nineteen shots swinks. So congratulatory McElroy Master's champ.

986
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: What a day man, What a day, the volume
