Here's our PGA Championship recap podcast with 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:46.600 Brendan and Kevin. 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.640 The fried Egg requires a different technique. 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.560 What you need to do is actually square the face 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:56.840 so it'll dig down underneath that bad lie and propel that. 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.720 Ball right out onto the green. Here's the same. Play 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.320 out of a buried lion of bunker is completely different 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.800 than playing out of a nice clean lion of green 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:05.480 side bunker. 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.640 You need to be aggressive on any show, whether it's 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:12.560 sitting cleanly for its Frida Egg. Well, we've all faiked it, 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:13.840 the dreaded Friday Egg. 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:15.680 It's not to be feared though. 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:17.360 It's actually a pretty easy shot to hit. 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.560 Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back to another edition of the 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:35.600 Frida Egg Podcast. I am joined by Brendan Porath from 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:41.680 ESB Nation and Kevin van Valkenberg from ESPN. Guys, Welcome on, Andy, 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:42.360 thanks for having me. 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.119 Hey, great to be here the third time back. It's 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.400 like the Brooks Keptka of the Frida Egg Podcast. 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:53.400 Yeah, three in a row here, what a what a tournament? 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.280 It was awesome. I mean I think we all, uh 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:00.440 you know, predicted that it was going to be a 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.640 good leaderboard, but yeah, I couldn't have predicted this. I 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.600 think we thought maybe Tiger was gonna miss the cut, 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:11.040 and uh that certainly didn't happen to it, not at all. 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.800 I Mean it was am I Ron and saying like 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:20.120 Thursday and Friday really kind of lacked juice, Like I 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.119 don't know, like I thought, like we were kind of like, wow. 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:24.160 This this really stinks. 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.480 The course has really been poured on, and like you know, 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.320 the coverage, we can't watch anything, and it's just we 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.280 kind of we get of course, you know, Twitter demands 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.639 the thought of the exact moment. That's really rarely a 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:38.360 holistic ten thousand foot view. 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.880 But uh, you know, I think it's. 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.679 Just the latest lesson and kind of take chilling out 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.200 and waiting for things to happen unfold. 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.840 I know that brooks Keevigy was not happy that no 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.480 one wanted to talk to him about It's one under 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:55.160 sixty nine. I heard all about that from claud Harmon yesterday. 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.400 How disrespectful that was to the US Open champion, Like, 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.320 all right, guess what I'm going to us to do 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.240 it every single major from now on, and you're gonna 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.200 tell me your thoughts on the course. Really fun to 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.359 hear you after you shoot seventy four some day. 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.880 I do think that that picture that Joel Biale posted 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:18.240 of the press conference for a that's amazing. I mean 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:19.359 there was like five people in. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.239 There, yeah, which. 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:26.640 He doesn't say anything though they do these like these 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.200 Tuesdays are just every twenty minutes, they're bringing a new guy, 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.840 a new guy you got, and there's only like, you know, 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.600 we live in the universe of unlimited content, but. 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.480 Uh, you know, there's like there might actually be limits. 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.880 You know, the Brooks KPKA on a Tuesday. You know, 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.560 it's just the limit after Tiger and all these people like, 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:49.400 I'm sorry, he doesn't you know now, of course we 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.520 have a different view. He's a three time major winner, 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:57.240 but he just like, you can't have it both ways, 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.200 where you know the media, like the media doesn't want 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.040 to talk to me, and then when the media talks 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.760 to you, you're kind of like a brusque dickhead and 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.080 you don't give him anything to work with. You know, 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.920 it seems like, you know, I actually liked his press 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.320 conference after the win last night, and I actually I 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.720 think it was a question from you, Kevin, he really 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.880 he had to think about becoming one of the all 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:22.360 time greats, and he smiled and it like, actually, might 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.480 you actually saw something kind of working up. 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.840 There, And I think. 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.000 I think he kind of wanted to give like a 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.800 legit answer like I just and he said he likes 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.680 golf and these next few years are gonna be awesome. 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.239 But like, I think it's hard to have it both ways. 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:43.680 That that photo, like those two days are madness. You 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.000 can't just sit in that press conference room all day. 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:47.880 You have work to do. There are things to do. 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.120 And I guess kept could just draw the short straw 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.120 and the wrong time he was at near the end 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:54.640 of the day, and that's just how it happened. 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.600 But it was it was not the most It was 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.520 kind of an indicting photo for the press. If you 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.640 never if you compare yourself to the Tiger press conference, 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.560 you're never gonna like be okay with like how things 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.599 work out, because like every local TV station there wants 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.000 to get the Tiger clip on the Saint Louis News 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.719 and you know, it's you just have to kind of 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:17.840 accept that it's different. I mean, it's different for Rory, 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.120 like there's not that many people. There's I mean, there's 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.200 more people in the Rory press conference, but that's because 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.640 Rory could say something really you know, interesting and insightful, 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.680 and maybe Brooks could do that, but you know, I 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:29.839 haven't heard it yet in the presser from him, and 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.720 I think it's just because he's not entirely like that 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.919 kind of person who wants to give that to himself. 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.560 You i'd sort of be careful what you wish for 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:38.520 kind of thing, like. 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.359 All right, we're getting this back on the tracks. No 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.839 more press conference talk. Let's talk about what happened. 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.239 You know, you brought up the photo. 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.440 Well, you know, I didn't want it to divulge into 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.599 like a five minute discussion of press conferences. We got 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.880 we gotta, we gotta get back on topic here. The 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.680 uh I mean tiger, Tiger I would shot one thirty 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:03.520 on the weekend and lost. 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:05.520 Yeah, Like, and. 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.159 It wasn't it wasn't like, I don't ever, I never 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:09.480 felt like he was gonna win. 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.640 I felt briefly like when he almost dumped that wedge 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:18.560 on fifteen, that he could win. That was the one 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.560 moment where I was like, man, like this is even 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.719 though it was coming off kind of a deflating bogie. 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.080 I just felt like there was a lot of rumors 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.960 that Adam Scott had made a double until we were 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.520 all like, oh man, it's just Brooke some tiger in 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.960 that moment. And so that was the one moment I 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:37.280 was like, maybe he's going to come to seventeen. If 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.440 he hits that bomb cut that he's been hitting out there, 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.400 he's going to have a really good chance of hitting 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.840 this close in two. And you know, it just kind 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.159 of just sort of deflated after that. 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:53.680 Yeah, there was one moment I actually I allowed myself 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.840 to think he was going to win yesterday. I don't 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.080 know that I did at the Open, even when he 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.240 held Elite. It just felt like at the Open there 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.320 were still too many names too, there was too crowded 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.800 there were, But whereas yesterday, I felt like it just 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.280 all he needed was something for Brooks to you know, 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.680 he's just relying on the Brooks collapse, which you know 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.200 was highly unlikely as we've seen he's a machine. But 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:18.040 you know, there was that moment where he had two 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:19.680 buggies in a row, and I think on the sixth 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.200 he needed like a pretty lanthy save coming back up 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.400 after he blew it past the hole. 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.320 Like I just felt like he. 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.720 Had shown signs of maybe giving a shot or two 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:35.080 backs to the field coming in and as Tiger again 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.280 at fifteen, like when the ball was in the air 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.640 and it literally almost went in the freaking hole, it 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:44.280 just felt like something special was happening, even in like 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.400 the Potter Rays. On thirteen, I went and did the 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.960 like photoshop comparison with Baby six necklace. I never tweeted 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:52.920 it because I was like, this is like this will 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.200 be like all takes exposed or something terrible It's like 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.480 he did the putter rays on thirteen and then he 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.840 you know, they made the Oi came back on fifteen. 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.400 I was like, there is this this might be like 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.920 even with brooks Kepka be the way he is, this 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.520 might be like something bigger than him and something might 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:09.960 be happening. 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.840 I allowed myself to think he could have won yesterday. 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:18.960 The uh let me rattle down from thirteen on. This 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:23.560 is you know, brooks Keptka Birdie looks seven feet six inches, 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:29.280 six feet eight inches, eleven feet five inches, ten feet 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:33.360 ten feet, six feet seven inches. He was one hundred 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.319 and four feet and three inches and two on seventeen, 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.920 so I think he had like six feet four inches 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.720 on seventeen and for Birdie, and then on eighteen he 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.079 had his longest Birdie look of seventeen feet in the 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:51.839 last seven holes. Like that is just dominant. 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.960 The drives too, I mean you the drive on fifteen 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.720 was like three forty and then the four iron to 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.280 six feet, and then the drive on seventeen was I 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.920 was standing right behind him. It was unreal. I mean 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.880 it was murdered. And then his drive on eighteen was murdered. 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.120 It was like that was what Tiger used to be 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.960 like the guy who just absolutely you know, he could 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:16.840 hit it wild, but just dialed it in as a 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.160 clinic when it mattered, and that's his biggest weapon. He's 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.440 a great putter. He's a pretty underrated short game. Obviously 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.320 he's hitting it that close. But the driver, oh my goodness, 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.000 just murdered them. 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:33.120 He had no chance to anybody. We were lucky it 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:33.840 was this close. 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:39.240 I thought on seventeen like he took like an extra beat, 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.080 you know, And they said it on the broadcast like 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.560 this is really like the last spot of trouble. I mean, Kevin, 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.520 you were there the seventeen Thi's like, this is like 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.480 his last really chance where he could get in trouble. 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.560 There's a hazard. He just saw Tiger going it. 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:56.120 And then he like he not only he took the 0:09:56.160 --> 0:10:00.720 perfect angle cut off like like right out road over 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.400 the left half, caught the fairway as it come, you know, 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.280 doglegs slight left back, and you know, it. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:06.840 Was just perfect. 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:11.120 There was no there was no crack anywhere to be found. 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.640 Even after that that front nine home, there was just 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:17.040 no crack, and it was it was just a juxtaposition 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.319 between Tiger kind of blowing one off the planet right 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.440 and then them kind of it almost felt like the 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:27.679 broadcast was like trying to like tease it for us, 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.000 like jinks him into like it, like this is the 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.439 last really the last spot where you get in trouble, 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.040 and then it was the exact opposite. 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:35.960 I was honestly that at the time, I was like, 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.640 that's one of the best pressure drives that I've ever seen, 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.520 like because it was just hammered at as hard as 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.880 he swung at it, and there was just no doubt. 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.000 And I just watched Tiger, you know, take five minutes 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.960 to think about his drive on seventeen before, like five 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.920 minutes before, and kind of ran back to Brooks and Tiger, 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.760 you know, has had almost no chance and Brooks was 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:00.760 just dead nails. By the way, when Tiger's ball looked 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.920 like it was in the water on seventeen, we were 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:04.760 walking up and I was walking next to Michael Phelps, 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:06.920 who I know a little bit, and I was like, hey, man, 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:08.640 if this is in the water, do you think there's 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.520 anybody around here who might be willing to swim the 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:12.000 creek and get it out? And He's like, dude, I'm 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:12.319 on it. 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.080 Humble bread, humble bread right there. 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.640 Abb name dropping old old old sources. 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:28.439 Michael Felp, The that drive Brooks had on seventeen was 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:33.679 kind of like DJ's on eighteen at Oakmont. 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.959 Yeah, that's good comparison. What what was more impressive? 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.439 I mean, I thought the shot into sixteen though, I mean, 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.880 it's like hard to choose. I don't know what what 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.319 was more the shot into sixteen from what. 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.480 Was sixty I was the official yardage of the hole 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:57.319 to I think forty eight, and then he hit it 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.880 according to the shot trager like two forty seven or 0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:01.559 some things, so it might have been back all the 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:02.760 way at two fifty something. 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:07.240 That was an unbelievable shot, Like one of the best 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:08.720 shots I've ever seen in my life. 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.319 I mean I was talking to his Caddy afterwards. He 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.360 was just like it was just a freaking laser. I mean, 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:14.720 it just never left the pin. 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.640 It literally like they had the shot tracer on it. 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.680 And I don't think it moved like it was a 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.560 straight rope. But like that's the thing I think is 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:27.120 like when I look at when I remember this, I mean, 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.000 and I think we saw the same thing at Aaron 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:35.200 Hills and to a degree, at Shinnakok. Like the guy 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:39.360 just I mean, he's unbelievable, Like it not just the 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.640 driving but the putting, Like the putts go in the 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.440 dead center of the hole and they like are the 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:49.200 perfect speed. And you're really surprised when he misses, Like 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.760 you're surprised when he misses a t shot, You're surprised 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.280 when he misses putts, and that doesn't happen with many 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.880 guys down the stretch. Like, yeah, I was waiting for 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:02.840 like Adam Scott, you know, I love Adam Scott, great player, 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.200 but like you kind of sat and you were waiting 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:10.960 for him to kind of fall apart versus like Brooks. 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.040 I was just like, you know, is he gonna miss 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.760 any putts? Like that, Like you're almost praying for a miss. 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:17.559 So it was close. 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:22.000 Yeah, I wrote this on my column, But like what 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.240 if Greg? What if? Like Brooks is like are Greg Norman, 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.520 except instead of wilting in the big moments, he like 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:32.120 just steps on people's throats. Like there's a lot of similarities, 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.440 Like they're like young and stronger than everyone. They're both 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.440 fitness freaks, they're both like generational drivers of the golf ball. 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.080 But Brooks might have the one thing that Norman didn't, 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:42.760 which is just that he's a killer closer. 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:48.480 They have their own logo that is also true, SA 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.080 nifty little BK A. 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.920 Lot of the beautiful women because of fast cars. I mean, 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.920 kind of gruff and arrogant, a little bit off putting 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.000 to some people. I like it. 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:07.920 The uh yeah. The poll question that Philip Johnson tweeted 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.880 last night was was great, like it is an unbelievable question, 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.840 like better like whose career would you rather have Brooks 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:16.400 or DJ right now? 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:24.120 I mean, I don't know. I I think honestly that's 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:28.040 I would rather have Brooks's even though it's a you know, 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:32.200 it's probably unfair, but like this is history. Is how 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:33.640 if you want to be remembered, if you want to 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.560 have like a legacy, then majors are what it is. 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:40.320 Does anyone really care that DJ one Kapalua or DJ 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.440 one at in Memphis like twenty years from now. No, 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.080 they'd be like that dude has one or two majors, 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.000 And that seems like, you know, not very much for 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:54.000 someone who might be the most talented player that ever lived. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.520 And so the fact that Brooks just has that kind 0:14:57.520 --> 0:14:59.640 of extra gear that makes him not care. I mean, 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.640 it's we were talking about this last night and we 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.080 were kind of joking, but like Sehn Martin's take about 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.320 DJ is like the best take of all time that 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:09.840 the only major he's ever won is the one that 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:14.840 he didn't know his own score. That's like, so that's 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.400 so nails as to what maybe DJ is like he 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.880 maybe DJ isn't like the ice cold, sort of chill 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:24.720 dude that we all kind of presume he is, and 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.720 maybe he does get a little bit nervy when he's 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:31.440 around the lead, and this is Brooks is proving to 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:32.320 be the opposite. 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.400 Yeah, I think it's interesting to see what's the spread, 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:40.600 like seven years, maybe seven six years the age. It's 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:44.720 kind of so these are like, like Brooks is in 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.920 the same spot DJ was at whatever Whistling Straits or 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:51.080 Pebble Beach or all those like major chances that he 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.360 had late and didn't really close, and Brooks is actually 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:55.400 closing them now. 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:56.880 I'm trying to think. 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:00.000 Like when you were talking about, well, unfortunately we define 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:05.480 we defined careers by majors, and Brooks has three, and 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:10.160 DJ has won and Brooks has you know, six years down, 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.280 you know, more to go behind it. I just think 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:17.040 like trying to think of the analog for DJ, like 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:20.880 someone who like when you were there in the moment, 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.960 you like, I mean it was just like erotic to watch. 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.040 It was like amazing as a rousing. But like then 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:31.080 kind of like the thirty year view down the road 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.720 was it's listening to the old man tell you about 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:36.600 how good he was to watch even though he had 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.360 five less majors than is like a Weiss. 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:40.040 Cop or somebody like that. 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.560 I don't know who that would be in the moment, 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:46.320 but you know, we love it and like we we 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.240 can't appreciate it. We'll be able to talk about it 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.520 thirty years down the road. But if he has just 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.920 like one or two majors and you know, forty wins 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:58.440 and Brooks has seven or eight majors and fifteen wins. 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.520 Twenty like we are going to hold Brooks's career in 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:02.280 higher scheme. 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:09.720 Yeah, they the financial things. One person tweeted like seventy 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:15.760 million to like twenty millions, Like yeah, from the financial sense, 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:17.960 there's no question what you would want. But from a 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.480 legacy sense, I mean, three majors. 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.040 Is where it's also going to pro you know, seventy 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:25.320 eight years longer. I don't know. 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.640 I look at it, a hey, if they both retire tomorrow, 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.600 whose is it? You know? That's the way I think 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:33.760 you have to approach these. And like when I post, 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:37.280 everybody's like, you know, terrible. I said something about hall 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.239 of Fame like and I meant it on in the 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:42.520 context of like, like Brooks retire tomorrow, he's in the 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.639 Hall of Fame, which is n like I didn't I 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:49.760 didn't foresee. I didn't realize that was the case with 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:54.280 Brooks before this tournament, watching it yesterday until like even 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.400 until like a couple hours later, I was like, holy cow, 0:17:57.640 --> 0:17:59.840 he's a major chance. He's he's a Hall of Famer. 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:02.679 I mean, he was a Hall of Famer before he 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.840 won that. No, am I crazy? Like this isn't like 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.440 this isn't like Cooperstown. We don't have these like old 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:12.439 krusty riders, you know, his off at the world and 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.040 happy to just put no one on their ballot. It's 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.840 like just like an open door policy. I think he 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:19.720 was in the Hall of Fame before that. 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.399 Brooks untially gonna pull a t o though. If he 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:26.119 doesn't Hall of Fame and have his own ceremony with 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:28.240 like make ultra and like a bar. 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:34.639 Gonna go to like the Panhandle or something has But 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:38.400 Fred Couples is in the Hall of Fame with one major, right, 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:40.280 I mean, what else does he have? 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.680 Yes, what you have fifteen wins or something like that, 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:45.040 you know, Yeah, yeah, I know he has a lot 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:49.480 of Here's here's another question. What is one major equal? 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:55.720 And and PGA Tour went like what's the what's the ratio? 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.639 I don't think I like seven or eight at least? Yeah, 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:04.679 because like John Daily has what like four career wins 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:06.720 and like two our majors and he's not in the 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.000 Hall of Fame. And some of that is like because 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:11.159 of John Daly is like a circus act. But like 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:13.600 so I'm not sure you can just win two majors 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:15.560 but get in the Hall of Fame. But just at 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:18.720 some point, like if you win three, you're You're just in. 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:22.040 There's no real debate about it. It'd be like winning 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:25.760 twenty one you know, PGA Tour titles in the Hall 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.360 of Fame. Monty is in the Hall of Fame. 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:35.720 Manti has won a lot of European majors, a. 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:36.960 Lot of wins. Yeah, a lot of. 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:46.680 It's so uh so Tiger. Yeah, I mean Tiger solidified 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:54.080 that he is the rock from from kvv's earlier take smooth, 0:19:56.119 --> 0:20:00.080 because if if Tiger's not in this thing, it's the 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:01.960 twenty seventeen US Open. 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.399 That's correct. No one like that. The emotional like Adam 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:09.159 Scott is playing for Jared Low thing is maybe a storyline, 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:14.800 but there's not the like bonkers crowds. So yeah, the 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:17.840 rock take turned out to be pretty good, right, and 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:21.560 he's getting the all his little fans and out there 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:24.160 getting going nuts, and I don't. 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:28.560 Know, like to a certain degree, it was the twenty 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:33.080 seventeen US Open where where Brooks just like there was 0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:36.040 some hope but then he just really put it away 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:39.080 and he put it to bed. But the hysteria of 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:43.199 Tiger just like clouded that. It was actually kind of 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:47.520 you know, there wasn't a lot of drama. Yeah, you know, 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:50.480 like Tiger made the drama by shooting sixty four, but 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:52.240 he didn't ever really have a chance. 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:56.240 It's funny how Tiger like makes everything okay because I 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.600 think of if Aaron Hills had happened, when everyone was 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.200 kind of like Aaron Hills, what a bad Us Open. 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:04.240 If Tiger had been second instead of JT or whatever 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:06.600 he was open, people been like, well that was great, 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:08.399 we got to go back to Aaron hills Man. Like 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:11.960 even though Kepta one like Tiger made it interesting, no 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:13.879
