WEBVTT - Post-PGA Championship Mailbag 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.560 I miss the green, for example, I'm already upset. 0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:04.960 When I find my ball in the bunker, I'm really upset. 0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:07.000 And when I find my ball in a brid Egg 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:11.959 Friday Egg, the dreaded Frida Egg Friday Friday Bride Egg, Lie, 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:40.080 I'm about ready to run off of the course. Ladies 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.080 and gentlemen, Welcome back to another edition of the Frida 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:47.680 Egg Podcast. I am joined again by Kyle Nathan. We're 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.360 going to do another mail bag. I think we'll make 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:54.120 this a close to weekly thing, so keep the questions 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:56.680 coming and uh, Kyle, welcome on. 0:00:57.600 --> 0:00:59.240 Thanks. Yeah, excited to do it again. 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.600 Yeah. Did you watch much of the PGA this weekend? 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.640 I did. I enjoyed it. I think that it was 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:11.759 nice to see Justine get his major win. I think 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.080 it was one of those things where you knew was coming, 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:17.720 kind of like where I feel like Ricky Fowler's game 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:19.640 is now too, where you know it's going to probably come, 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.120 you just don't know when, and it's going to be 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.000 an exciting time and I'm happy for him and happy 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:25.480 for golf. 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:31.000 Actually, yeah, it's you know, he seemingly got into contention 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.319 at the US Open. It was like the first time 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:38.480 in major, in a major in contention, he struggled mightily 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.760 on Sunday, but you could see that coming after he 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.039 shot a nine under sixty three the day before to 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.440 get into the final group. It almost would have been 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.080 a blessing if he had missed that final group. But 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:54.440 then you know, he struggles sure enough next time in contention, 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:59.920 probably a lot more comfortable, and I think he benefit 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.800 from not being in that final group and gets the 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.880 job done. I mean, Kiszner would see was leaking oil 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:13.840 all day, Chris Stroud, he is very patiently leaking oil 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.200 after the first two rounds, and Hideki just doesn't seem 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:22.720 as sharp. So it was wide open and JT just 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:27.880 hit the best shots and made the most putts he did. 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.919 He's kind of getting the reputation of a pretty pretty 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.040 good closer. He didn't, you know, the US Open. I 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.160 wouldn't say that was a closing opportunity because he wasn't 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:41.480 really in it, you know, down the stretch on Sunday. 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.200 But if you look at his track record, he's very 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.240 very good when he is in it down the stretch, 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.680 and that's exciting to see. That's one of the you know, 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.720 characteristics that made Tiger soappealing. 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:55.760 Yeah, he has a gas pedal like the obviously you know, 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.919 the scoring record at at Sony and the fifty nine 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.920 and then the sixty three. Like when that guy's on 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:09.959 and the putters hot, it's something else. He he's right 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:14.799 there in terms of explosiveness with a a Rory Dustin Johnson. 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:21.800 When he's on, it's I think it'll be interesting to see, 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.880 you know, career wise, he's twenty four. One major where 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.040 he gets too. I think he sets up really well 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:32.639 for PGA championships, but like us, Opened might be a 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:36.560 little bit different, different story and Open championships. 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.480 Yeah, I think given his age, he'll develop the necessary 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.120 facets of his game to adjust to a you know, 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:49.120 an Oakmont Open setup or even a British Open setup. 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.080 I think, you know, he's just twenty four, so he's 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.680 got you know, eight years till he supposedly reaches his 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.520 prime eight to nine years, so we could see a 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:58.440 lot of majors from him. 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.240 Were you disappointed in anyone from the week. 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.320 I don't know disappointed. I was surprised Mickelson missed the 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:13.000 cut given his track record at the Wells Fargo. I 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:18.360 was surprised. You know, Rory never never got it going. 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.320 DJ never really got it going. You know, those those 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.880 were some surprising things. But I feel like the PGA Championship, 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.640 the Open is pretty unpredictable, the Open Championship, But the 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.040 PGA Championship you usually get some interesting guys in the 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.800 top there that you don't you didn't see coming, and 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.960 certainly with Stroud and a few of the others, you 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.239 just you just never know what the PGA I feel. 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:46.560 Like, Yeah, it's I wonder why the PGA yields so 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:50.039 many fluky winners. 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.640 It is strange. I don't I don't have a good 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.159 answer for it. It does kind of seem more like 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:01.680 a regular tour event than a major. I guess, which 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.880 might be a problem the tournament has, but I don't really. 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.080 You know, you look back and you have some pretty 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.000 bizarre winners. But you can say the saying, you know, 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.720 Michael Campbell when the US opened, Todd Hamilton won the 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.080 British Hope. You know, you get some some different winners 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.600 in the other majors. It just seems like, I agree, 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.279 you get the Sean mckeel's and you know, those type 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.640 of players at the PGA a little more often. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:31.000 Sean mkheel wy Yang. Yeah, it could be that it 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.599 could go to the golf courses too. I just think 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.520 they played just stinky golf courses. 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.479 So it's just the better. 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.919 Like Augusta is a perfect example, Like the best players 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.880 win in Augusta because it's the best golf course. 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:51.800 Yeah, Augusta doesn't really have many you know, Schwartzel was 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:53.520 a big surprise, but then he turned out to be, 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.560 you know, one of the top players in the world. 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:58.520 Bob Emmelman got hurt. 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.600 Bubba only wins it like five courses. But there are 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:07.240 always pretty good golf courses. True, But let's get into 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.600 the questions. We got a ton of them here, and 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.920 we got a lot of questions about Louis whose days 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.240 and most people probably don't know that you're like the 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.320 biggest Louis fan in the world. 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.640 I am a Louis fanboy. I don't even know why. 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.520 I don't even I was trying to think yesterday how 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.520 it even started. I think it started out as a 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:31.760 joke and I just I put money on him to 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.080 win a couple of tournaments and decided that I was 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.360 just going to commit to that plan and just been 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:38.240 a big Louis fan. 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.159 Yeah, even though he's kind of burned you. He never 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.039 wins in the Western hemisphere. 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.200 I know I need I need him to go back 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.120 to the other hemisphere and start wagering on those. 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:54.320 So Justin Anderson wants to know is Louis a Hall 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.599 of Famer or will he be by the end of 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.880 his career. Obviously that has a lot to do with 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.000 what happens. 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.560 As much as I want to say yes to this, 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:09.679 I think he needs one more win in the United 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.040 States or even I'd say, I'd say win in the 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:17.320 United States, or another Open championship. I think he's really borderline. 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:21.640 He has eleven wins and they're pretty major events too. 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.520 You know, he's won a major. But I just think 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.720 he needs the one win because it's not like he's 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:33.280 putting up Montgomery type seasons, you know, not you know 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.240 internationally where he's gonna win the Order of Merit six 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.080 seven times in a row, whatever it was. So I 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.720 think he just needs another win, and I do think 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.040 he'll get it, So we'll have to see. I think 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:46.200 that's a to be determined. 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:50.320 I it's pretty crazy when you look at his runner ups, 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.000 so he has which is well documented. A lot of 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.760 people have been talking about this. He's he's runnered up 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.840 a runner up finish in every single major championship. But 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:02.840 he also has a runner up at the WGC match 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:10.360 play and the players and I think Abu Dabi. 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.200 Good player shirt this year. I thought he had that 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:14.000 for sure. 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.200 Yeah, who nobody saw see Wu coming. 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:19.520 Nope. 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:24.680 So just it's so hard to Sometimes I feel like 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:29.160 winning's overrated and golf just because it's so hard to do. 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:35.760 It might be like the underrated, under overrated thing. But 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:40.520 when you finished second in every major, that's got to 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:45.000 get you something, even though it gets you really nothing 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:49.480 because nobody remembers that. But that that that's got to 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:50.120 help him out. 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.200 He should be in the Hall of Fame. Just from 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:54.839 that video he posted last night. 0:08:55.120 --> 0:09:00.680 Yeah he did make like a million dollars is flying 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:04.120 a private jet, which you know, it makes you not 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:08.560 feel his pain as much for finishing second again, right, 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.920 But he's probably just he loves just chilling on his farm. 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.760 That's like I think the career scope of Louis is 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.199 this guy. He doesn't golf is like a secondary thing. 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:26.600 Golf is he he works, which is golf to live, 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.040 Like He's not a lived a work guy like a 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.079 lot of these guys out here. He he really doesn't 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.640 care about golf as much as a you know, Jordan Spieth. 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.600 Yeah, that's I think that's one of the things I've 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.760 always liked about him is he just wants to go 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:47.200 back and you know, roll in the hay. 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.120 Get a new tractor, and tend to the farm. 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:50.840 Yep. 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.920 I think he's got vineyards now too. So that's what 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.440 I didn't notice about the South African guys like Ernie 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:01.079 Els kind of didn't really you know, he especially once 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:04.640 he hit forty, he cared so much more about things 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.680 outside of golf than competitive golf. And I think Louis 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.800 is the same way. Charles Schwartzel is the same way. 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:17.520 I don't know much about Brandon Grace, but but you know, 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.080 these South Africans are kind of kind of different breed. 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.120 It's interesting there. Yeah, you're right, it's. 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:25.640 Except for Gary Player, of course. 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.319 Oh yeah, whack job. 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.960 Maybe they're all rebelling against Gary Player. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:32.840 He set a poor example. 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:39.240 Yeah, they're like their teen angst against father Gary Player. 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:44.440 So here's a here's another interesting Louis question. Is is 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:46.600 one of the things I love about Louis is he 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:52.840 shifts his mattress from from from tournament to tournament. And 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.440 Mark Caverhill wants to know if that's part of his 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:04.080 net Jet sponsorship or UPS sponsorship, and he wants to 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.360 know if he has two in case one gets delayed, 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.120 And I actually asked a bunch of people at the 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:13.280 Players about this. And in the US, there's a guy 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:18.520 that takes all this stuff from one stop to another 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.440 on the tour, and that's the guy who takes Louis 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.439 mattress from tour stop to tour stop. 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.520 So like, people will. 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.839 Give this guy on Sunday all the golf bags and 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.680 he loads him up into like his trailer or something 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.240 and drives them to the next spot and they're there. 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.520 They're always guarantee tea to be there by Monday morning. 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.440 So I think Louis does the same thing with his mattress, 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.480 but I'm not sure how he does it. 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:49.160 On the European tour, guessing UPS is a huge part 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:49.360 of that. 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.680 And sorry, but like how much I imagine you could 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:56.680 just buy a new mattress everywhere you went. 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.520 Could if he keeps playing like that, that's for sure, 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:01.720 But he might have it. You know, it might be 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.840 worn in just right. It might be his special special mattress. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.400 I'm gonna say he only has one because sometimes a 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.680 good Louis thing to do, as an avid Louis watcher 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:14.880 is he starts starts off tournaments very poorly. So I'm 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:18.320 guessing that his mattress usually probably doesn't arrive and then 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.760 he'll shoot, you know, seventy six the opening round and 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:24.280 then three straight sixty fours after his mattress gets in there. 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.559 So I think he should look into getting a backup. 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:31.480 I think they should rotate him, so one should go. 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:35.800 If that's the case, one should be sent there pre tournament. 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.520 You know, you should almost have two and the next 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.480 one's going to the next stop before he before he 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:43.720 even gets there, is there. 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:44.240 A week early. 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.920 He can't be genius, can't be jeopardizing your sleep. 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:55.959 Nope, all right. Staying with Hall of Fame potential inductees, 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.480 what do you think of Hideki Matsuyama and can we 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.880 win a MA someday? That's from Robert Bernard. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:07.160 I think Hideki is going to win a major. It's 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:11.560 not a if. Obviously, there's no guarantees. But you look 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.720 at the guys track record. I think he has seven 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.040 top ten finishes in majors and he's played in twenty 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.199 one total, so a third of the time he's finished 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.080 in the top ten. And that includes like as an 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.599 amateur at twenty one in the Masters. 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.160 So it's just a matter of time. 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.560 I mean, you put yourself close to contention enough, you're 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.400 eventually gonna find it. 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.880 And I think this is. 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:42.480 He just needs to become a better putter. In my estimation, 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:43.760 what do. 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.320 You think I was gonna say that exact same thing. 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:52.720 I think he could win twelve majors if he improves 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.840 his putting. If that's easier said than done. Sometimes you know, 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.360 a tiger can't change its stripes, but sometimes it can. 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:05.200 I think is a hard thing to exponentially improve at. 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:07.720 I think of all the things, that's the hardest to 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.160 go from being a poor putter to a great putter, 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:15.280 mostly because it's all mental. But he's got the ball striking. 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:17.280 I mean, he's to be number one in the world. 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.320 I don't think there's anybody that would doubt that. I 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.680 just think that if he can learn to putt, you 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:28.960 don't see many majors one with guys that didn't putt well. 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.360 With the exception of exception of Jason Duffner at Okill 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.560 where he was, you know, stoning it to three feet 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:39.360 every hole and missed half of them. You don't see 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.600 poor putting win majors. But if he can get that right, 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.840 he can win, I mean, as many as he wants. 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.600 If he can't, he's going to have to have a 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.960 week where he just you know, like a Duffner esque 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.200 week where he's you know, hitting the ball on a blanket. 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.960 Yeah. I think that that's the thing too that goes 0:14:56.000 --> 0:15:00.120 a little bit unnoticed is that Hideki's ball striking up 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.240 big time over the weekend. So had he hit the 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.240 ball the way he hit it the first two rounds 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.720 and last week at Bridgestone on the weekend, he might 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:14.800 have won. So obviously, you can't hit the ball perfect 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.840 all the time, but with the way, there's gonna be 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.200 one of these weeks where the convergence is going to 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.520 happen and he blew. He blew blows people out when 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.840 he when he plays well. And that's something we saw 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.080 with Tiger. That's something we see with all the elite players, 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.600 is that when they really put it all together, nobody 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:37.680 has a shot, and and he's just been so close 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.960 so much. I think, you know, he's almost like a 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.760 Sergio Garcia at this point on steroids in terms of 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.760 how many close calls and majors he's are, like how 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.600 many times he's been in contention for how short of 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:51.760 a career he's had. 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.600 They have similar similar golf games. 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:58.440 Really yeah, just unbelievable. Te de Green all the shots, 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.680 but the putter just doesn't seem to make enough putts. 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:04.440 But I think I think. 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:08.080 He's it's just a I would I would bet he 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:12.360 would get one in the next two years at the very. 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.240 Least, I would agree. 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:21.280 So, uh oh, Chad from Deer Park is back. Chad. 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:26.480 Chad from Deer Park is So this week's event is 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:30.000 the windhom and it decides who stays and goes from 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:34.200 the tour. So he wants to know who you want 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.520 from outside the top one twenty five to make a 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:38.440 charge and get. 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:43.840 In from the top. From outside the top one twenty five, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:49.800 I'm gonna say Sam Saunders. And I'm gonna say that because, 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:54.120 as everybody knows, he's the grandson of Holly Saunders, and 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.000 it'd be cool to get her and him, you know, 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.600 at the events. And also he's a pretty good I mean, 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.680 he's a little litle bit streaky obviously, but when he 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:03.880 plays well, he can play real well. So that's why 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.399 I'd like to see make it to the next event. 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.200 I didn't know Hawley Saunders had a grandson. 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.399 Oh yeah, Sam, Sammy. 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:20.840 Sammy, Well, I'm gonna go with my boy. Ken Duke. 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.080 The he played the greatest round of golf in the 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.360 history of golf last year at the Players. 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.880 He sure did. 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:34.280 He shot a sixty five that day. That was an 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:37.719 incredible round he got. He wouldn't even be in this 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:42.440 situation if it if the Players had a real exemption thing, 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:46.679 like who finishes in a third and in a huge 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.640 championship and doesn't get invited back next year? 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.200 Ken Duke shouldn't have been there. 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:58.000 Unbelievable really, and we all know he dominates Sawgrass. 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:04.040 So I personally, I think that he deserves a special 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:09.720 exemption next year for just the mismanagement of exemptions that 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:13.440 the PGA Tour clearly. You know, it's almost like there's 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.000 a Ken Duke vendetta on tour. 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:19.840 I can't Duke Vendetta, oh god. 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:24.000 But yeah, close second is Charlie Wee. He's he's a 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:28.280 long way out, He's at two eighteen. But I think 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:31.359 we just need to see a little bit more Charlie 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.639 Wie in events. He thrilled the world at the Zurich 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:36.400 with him and kJ Toy. 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:41.560 As a team, thrilled the world. All right here, here's 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:46.040 a good question. Will Thrasher from Warsaw, Indiana. The prevailing 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.439 wisdom seems to indicate that Phil is a lock for 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:50.520 the President's Cup, but I don't see it. His game 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.600 is nowhere right now without bones, he seems lost. Would 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.600 love to see Duffner picked instead. He has already buddies 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.600 with Ricky, JT and company. Would be a great veteran 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.840 president and natural best ball pairing with JT his usual 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.480 practice round partner. Would like your thoughts. 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:09.800 So I think it's it's well documented. 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:10.639 I think Phil is. 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:16.919 Very overrated to the player all the time. I would 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.600 definitely agree he doesn't by by form, he doesn't deserve 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.560 a spot on the President's Cup team. He's really done 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:30.160 nothing when he's gotten into contention, he's faded. But there's 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:33.520 this whole experience thing, and you know he's gonna be 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:36.560 a future cap like, there's no way he gets left 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.520 off this team. There's just no possible way he does. 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:41.800 Like the player i'd like to see in there instead 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.359 of him is Brian Harmon, but that's not gonna happen, 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:51.600 I think so. Yeah, And long, long story short, there's 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:55.800 no chance. I saw Patrick Reid moved in and into 0:19:55.840 --> 0:20:00.439 the top ten too, So they've got to two picks 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:07.680 and it'll be interesting because now Chapel's outside Harmon, Duffner, Woodland, Snatecker, Steele, 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:09.200 and then it's Phil. 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:10.879 So who would you like to see? 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:12.920 I mean, do you think there's any way Phil gets 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:13.480 left off? 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:19.080 I don't. I'd like to see Brian Harmon out of 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.920 everybody you mentioned, I don't see Phil getting left off. 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:27.080 But you know, it surprised everybody when the US national 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:29.320 team left Land and Donovan out, which is kind of 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:33.760 a similar you know, end of his career, struggling a bit. 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:38.440 But I just can't see one of his contemporaries leaving 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:42.800 him off the team. If it was you know, somebody else, maybe, 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:45.800 but I just I can't see Michelson being left off. 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.440 That is an interesting dynamic about these team events. It's 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:53.000 like the veterans have such an advantage over younger guys 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:56.560 because the guys picking them are like their buddies that 0:20:56.600 --> 0:21:00.080 they've played on tour with forever. Right, It's you know, 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:05.880 that's a the added benefit as a veteran. 0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:07.560 I think that I. 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:11.560 Don't know, I think the veteran presence is like such 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:15.280 garbage when it comes to these team competitions, like you 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:17.199 need to have a veteran in the locker room. Like 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:21.440 it's golf, like, I mean, what's what's Phil gonna say 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:25.440 to you before a match that could possibly like make 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:28.840 you play better? Is he going to say, like play better? 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.600 Yeah, I'm I think it's especially in golf. I mean 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.720 it just seems I mean there's a certain element of 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:40.040 you know, pairing guys together that have you know, one 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.440 guy makes a ton of pars, real steady, the other guy, 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:44.080 you know, makes a lot of birdies. That makes sense, 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:47.200 But you know, you don't need pods to discuss it 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:50.480 and secret committees and whatever they're talking about. You know, 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:52.359 I just I don't think that's necessary. 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:56.520 Yeah, I'm I'm so out on on strategy. 0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:58.760 It's it's it's an individual game. 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:00.640 Yep. 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:04.240 It's so all right. 0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:08.840 Barry w had a great question. Did you know that 0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:10.359 the Solheim Cup was this week? 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:13.760 First off, I absolutely did not. 0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:18.560 I remember seeing it was somewhere in August. I didn't 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:22.760 know it was this week. Though, likelihood of any gimme 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:28.360 controversies slash tears, slash seven hour rounds this time around, 0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:29.879 he'll hang up and listen. 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:36.320 I will say that likelihood is high, and I really 0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:38.199 hope it happens. I think that's been some of the 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:43.160 great drama of team golf is you never know when 0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:45.359 you're gonna have to replay a shot. You never know 0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:48.520 when there's gonna be tears, you know, streamers in the 0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:52.480 hair flying. You just never know, and I think that 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:55.600 should be the way golf is. So I'm gonna say 0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:58.639 I'm looking forward to any incident. I won't watch the 0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:01.960 tournament at all, but I will rely on Twitter to 0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:05.800 provide me some good video of tears. 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.560 I was talking about this with somebody the other day, 0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:16.320 is how the LPGA Tour's two big moments this year 0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:21.800 was when Lexi missed marked her ball just and they're 0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:24.240 just horrible handling of the situation. 0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:26.120 Yeah, waiting a. 0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:31.000 Day Informia in the middle of her last round. I 0:23:31.320 --> 0:23:34.679 it was they just botched this whole thing, and they 0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:38.359 got all these these viewers in and everybody stayed, but 0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:40.840 everybody was so mad at the tour. 0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:43.280 They were infuriated with the tour. 0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:46.320
