Speaker 1: Welcome to the Clubhouse with Shane Bacon. I am your host,
Speaker 1: Shane Bacon, and uh, I'm gonna need a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: That was a exhausting final round of a Master's My goodness,
Speaker 1: there were near historic rounds of golf. There was a
Speaker 1: collapse by one of the best players in the world.
Speaker 1: There was a guy that just would not go away
Speaker 1: and eventually snagged a green jacket. And then there was
Speaker 1: Ricky Fowler, who wasn't really much of the storyline early on,
Speaker 1: who makes six birdies on his last eleven holes, knocks
Speaker 1: the flag down on eight, team makes a birdie to
Speaker 1: at least forced Patrick Read to think about it a
Speaker 1: little bit. And then Patrick Read hits the shot up
Speaker 1: on the hill on a team and you thought for
Speaker 1: a second he might three put this thing and give
Speaker 1: us a playoff with Fowler and Read. But alas Patrick
Speaker 1: Red just did it. He won the Masters. He didn't get,
Speaker 1: you know, deterred by what Jordan'spith was doing when he
Speaker 1: was on his way to a sixty four that probably
Speaker 1: should have been a sixty three, maybe even lower. He
Speaker 1: didn't get bothered by playing alongside Rory McRoy with the
Speaker 1: fans obviously supporting Rory over him. He wasn't paying too
Speaker 1: much attention to the leaderboards and he was balancing back
Speaker 1: from bad shots. He'd make a bogey, bounce back with
Speaker 1: the birdie, he'd make mrs short put like he did eleven,
Speaker 1: and then bounce back with a long put on twelve.
Speaker 1: For Bertie, it was an impressive win. Let's be honest,
Speaker 1: and Patrick Reed is a deserving champion. He played great.
Speaker 1: He figured out a way to find the fairway more
Speaker 1: often the last few weeks by hitting a little bit
Speaker 1: of a worly bird cut. That's what he's doing. And
Speaker 1: he did that, and and on eighteen was a perfect example.
Speaker 1: Final hole. You saw how tight that shoot is. You
Speaker 1: saw what Jordan's speek did. Hit the tree off the
Speaker 1: tea and drop straight down. That's fairly easy to do,
Speaker 1: even for these professional golfers. And Patrick Reid probably didn't
Speaker 1: have that golf shot a few months ago. Honestly, he
Speaker 1: always hit that smother draw. He never had a little
Speaker 1: bit of a cut in his repertoire. And then there
Speaker 1: he goes hitting that little worly bird and it worked
Speaker 1: out perfectly. Finds a fairway makes part when he needed
Speaker 1: to and Edges Ricky Fowler by one. It was. It
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. And what Jordan's speech did will be I
Speaker 1: think what is the most remembered from this master's outside
Speaker 1: of the victory, just put after putt after shot after
Speaker 1: putt and the put on sixteen that even surprised him.
Speaker 1: You know, I mentioned it before we did it on Twitter.
Speaker 1: This is where Jack Nichols made the putt in nineteen
Speaker 1: five on sixteen and Jordan's speech does it got a
Speaker 1: little help from Justin Thomas on the same line Buries.
Speaker 1: The birdie putt, like I said, kind of got him
Speaker 1: a bit surprised. And you know he had a good
Speaker 1: put on seventeen as well. That's a hole that's always
Speaker 1: given Jordan's speet fits and he had a great drive
Speaker 1: in a great second and then it was just a
Speaker 1: bummer that didn't have a birdie put on eighteen. I
Speaker 1: would have loved to see him have something from you know,
Speaker 1: fifteen feet or so in for a chance at sixty two,
Speaker 1: but that last branch man, that last branch got him. Um.
Speaker 1: I have David Ferty on the Clubhouse podcast to recap
Speaker 1: what we just watched. It was just kind of a
Speaker 1: quick call to David. He was he was nice enough
Speaker 1: to jump on despite a you know, being at home
Speaker 1: in Texas. So we'll get to that in just a minute.

Speaker 1: you live in Phoenix like I do, you know that
Speaker 1: it was like ninety five degrees today and there's a
Speaker 1: lot of things that happened when summer comes, the sun,
Speaker 1: the beach, camp, cold drinks, and of course vacation. Vacation
Speaker 1: that means travel. And nothing is worse than heading out

Speaker 1: things forgotten. That's what's crazy about this week. You know,
Speaker 1: you forget about what we saw from Tony fen now,
Speaker 1: you know, we forget the the the Jack Nicholas grants
Speaker 1: on whole on one to start the week. On the
Speaker 1: par three, Cameron Smith was unbelievable late to be able
Speaker 1: to jump into that top twelve, which means he'll be
Speaker 1: back at the Masters next year. You know, we saw Baba,
Speaker 1: Henrik Stenson, Dustin Johnson all with a chance at least
Speaker 1: throughout the weekend to get into contention. And there was
Speaker 1: some of the best players in the world on this
Speaker 1: first page of the leaderboard, and it was Patrick Read
Speaker 1: that did it. So you know, all the kudos to
Speaker 1: that guy. He was he was not deterred by all
Speaker 1: of the things happening around him. He won this green jacket.
Speaker 1: He is a deserving, deserving Major champion winner and onward
Speaker 1: to Shinnecock Hills for us. I know the Fox group
Speaker 1: is really excited at sixty seven days until the US
Speaker 1: Open till the first round of the U s Open.
Speaker 1: So we are preparing on our end. I'm sure you'll
Speaker 1: be ready as we go through the players and all
Speaker 1: the other events headed up. But we're excited. That was
Speaker 1: a great major championship and we cannot wait until the
Speaker 1: next one. Let's get to the interview with David Ferity
Speaker 1: and we welcome into the clubhouse for the first time.
Speaker 1: David Ferity, of course, David spent twenty years said augustin
Speaker 1: National call in the action. How different is it sitting
Speaker 1: on the couch and getting to watch it? Is it?
Speaker 1: Is it better? Are you more comfortable there? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: got to tell you that I am. I was. It
Speaker 1: was a difficult week for me to be part of
Speaker 1: the broadcast. You know. I always felt like I couldn't
Speaker 1: really do myself. So that wasn't the uh, the style
Speaker 1: that they were looking for, you know, so I tried
Speaker 1: to limit myself to a buy five words a week.
Speaker 1: You'd cut down on the jokes, cut down on the zingers.
Speaker 1: I totally understand it. You know when you watched the
Speaker 1: featured group coverage, and I did a lot of that
Speaker 1: over the weekend because you know, i'd have a couple
Speaker 1: of TV ser screens going and even some of the
Speaker 1: guys I know that called golf, you can tell it
Speaker 1: is a little bit muted, and they want to make
Speaker 1: sure that they're kind of going along the company line.
Speaker 1: And you know, that's what Augusta wants. So that's what
Speaker 1: they get. They gotta Patrick Reed win and uh and
Speaker 1: you've got to say, I mean, there were people if
Speaker 1: you followed along on social media, you know, you're getting
Speaker 1: a lot of people rooting for Rory and you're getting
Speaker 1: a lot of people rooting for Ricky, and of course
Speaker 1: the Jordan's Feet run made it a big but you know,
Speaker 1: Patrick Red won this masters. I mean, it was unbelievable
Speaker 1: what he did when he needed to pull off cluck
Speaker 1: shots and pull off cluss butts, it was maybe he
Speaker 1: hunt hung in there, and there were a couple of
Speaker 1: times where it looked like he might lose his grip
Speaker 1: on it, but each time, you know, he faced a crisis,
Speaker 1: you know, he played the next holl really well. And uh,
Speaker 1: I always sort of felt that I was going to
Speaker 1: come down to the that he was going to need
Speaker 1: a part to win. And that's that's the way it
Speaker 1: worked out. I mean even the last part that they hold,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not one that you want that kind
Speaker 1: of lengthy. He showed great courage, yeah, I mean, and
Speaker 1: he got two huge breaks, and I mean I think
Speaker 1: that's you know, we see that in any major championship.
Speaker 1: You can look at the Open, the US Open, the Masters,
Speaker 1: the p g A, anything like that. You're gonna need
Speaker 1: a good breaker. Two. We saw it from Rory on Saturday.
Speaker 1: You know, he got the good breaks a day before
Speaker 1: hitting the flag on eight. You know, we saw the
Speaker 1: kick out off the trees there. I mean, there were
Speaker 1: good breaks for Rory a day before. But for this read,
Speaker 1: you know, hits the ball and looks like it's gonna
Speaker 1: be in the creek on thirteen and it stays up.
Speaker 1: And of course that put on seventeen from all the
Speaker 1: way across the green. If that doesn't hit the flagstick,
Speaker 1: you know that's probably by Yeah, it might have gone
Speaker 1: off the other edge of the grain. But you know,
Speaker 1: you need a little luck, that's for sure. Nobody ever
Speaker 1: won a major championship, or any golf tournament for that matter,
Speaker 1: without a little luck. And the key is, you know,
Speaker 1: to to take advantage of those brakes, you know when
Speaker 1: you got them. Were you Are you surprised to see
Speaker 1: Patrick Read as a major champion? I mean he was
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction over the last you know,
Speaker 1: four events, But are you surprised at all that he
Speaker 1: won a major? No, I'm I'm really not. Whenever he's one,
Speaker 1: he's one in fine style. And you know, he's very confident,
Speaker 1: you know, cocky almost. He said some things early in
Speaker 1: his career that sort of put other people's noses at
Speaker 1: a joint. But you know it's it's not bragging if
Speaker 1: you if you can do it, and uh, you know
Speaker 1: quite obviously you know what he can do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we've seen him win playoffs against George Speach,
Speaker 1: We've seen him face off, you know we we of
Speaker 1: course saw the Writer Cup match along with Rory mcwory.
Speaker 1: That was overplayed the last couple of days. But you know,
Speaker 1: he is in this theater with Rory mcloy and everybody
Speaker 1: thinks Rory is gonna at least give him a run.
Speaker 1: Rory didn't do that on Sunday. But it takes a
Speaker 1: special kind of person to be the quote unquote underdog,
Speaker 1: but not believe or the underdog. That's what I think
Speaker 1: is so impressive about Patrick Reed is he doesn't believe anything.
Speaker 1: He believes that he really is one of the best
Speaker 1: players in the world. And confident, conkiness all that. All
Speaker 1: the great players have that, yeah they do. And you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, to be successful at the highest level, you know,
Speaker 1: you have to want to be in a place where
Speaker 1: you know you're going to be uncomfortable. And Augusta, you know,
Speaker 1: brings that out and and it's champions you know, there's
Speaker 1: no uh or hardly a place without you know, maybe
Speaker 1: the Ryder Cup, you know, where the pressure might be
Speaker 1: a little more, or an open championship might be comparable.
Speaker 1: But you know, you have to want to be in
Speaker 1: that place where it's I mean it's going to suck.
Speaker 1: And um, the really great ones you know that they
Speaker 1: for them, it doesn't suck. You know, they live on it,
Speaker 1: the pressure. They want the pote I mean, a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of us like me never wanted to. That's why
Speaker 1: I never made it. But he wanted it. Not neither
Speaker 1: did I. Neither did I, you know, and I had
Speaker 1: a reasonably successful career, but you know I didn't want
Speaker 1: the responsibility that came with you know, being like really good.
Speaker 1: That was that was. There was a couple of players
Speaker 1: that got to world number one that that mentioned that
Speaker 1: you know later in their careers where they said, you
Speaker 1: know that the pressure of being the best, it stressed
Speaker 1: him out. They didn't want to be there was David
Speaker 1: Duval was one. Um, you know that when he won
Speaker 1: the Open Championship. Um, it was it was almost as if,
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't really want he was shy about it,
Speaker 1: virus almost and um, you know, kind of introverted in
Speaker 1: that way. You know, he's kind of come out of
Speaker 1: a shell in the last few years and has become
Speaker 1: a really good analyst. M But you know, he was
Speaker 1: number one in the world twice and that was in
Speaker 1: the Tiger Woods era. So I mean he was one
Speaker 1: hell of a player and and uh, you know, uh
Speaker 1: didn't really seem that way a lot of the time. Okay,
Speaker 1: I have to ask you, what what point did you
Speaker 1: say to yourself, Holy sh it, Jordan's Speed's gonna win
Speaker 1: this masters. Yeah. Um, you know it was right around seventeen,
Speaker 1: you know, when he knocked that put in, you know,
Speaker 1: that kind of a charge and you hang up a
Speaker 1: number seventeen and eighteen are really difficult, you know, so
Speaker 1: birdie holes at fifteen and sixteen there, but you've got
Speaker 1: to get through seventeen and eighteen. Um. And uh, you
Speaker 1: know I thought that, you know, Patrick raid is going
Speaker 1: to have you know, it was going to have to
Speaker 1: make power to win, you know, in the end. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know he made a Grade four. You know, I
Speaker 1: mentioned this on Twitter when Speith was doing this. But
Speaker 1: he he is this guy's generation player that somehow finds
Speaker 1: a way to pull these golf shots off that nobody
Speaker 1: else does. I mean we've seen it throughout his career.
Speaker 1: You go back to his first win at the John
Speaker 1: Deere he makes that bunker shot. Yes, the literally I
Speaker 1: was standing right beside him. Yeah, and and and it
Speaker 1: was a bunker shot that you know, say what you
Speaker 1: want about it, but it went in. I mean that
Speaker 1: that's the key It win in. You know, at the
Speaker 1: Valves Bar he makes up putting the playoff, it goes
Speaker 1: in Chambers Bay. You know, you could look at St.
Speaker 1: Andrew's even when he lost, he made that long put
Speaker 1: at sixteen. Of course, he did what he did at
Speaker 1: the Travelers last year and then at the Open last year,
Speaker 1: you know, doing the the go get that. But you know,
Speaker 1: he's that guy and he David, I mean, he's the
Speaker 1: player of this generation that somehow finds that gear and
Speaker 1: hits the perfect put with the perfect read and gets
Speaker 1: it to go. And despite not being able to win this,
Speaker 1: he showed us once again that he is this type
Speaker 1: of player that it that is able to muster up
Speaker 1: whatever it is internal ford or two or whatever to
Speaker 1: pull him off. Yeah, he's mr unlikely. You know, you think, well,
Speaker 1: he can't do that, and then he does it, and
Speaker 1: he seems to do it at the end of the
Speaker 1: round as well when it's you know, least expected. Um,
Speaker 1: I mean sixteen, seventeen and eighteen. Uh, you know at
Speaker 1: the Open Championship. Uh, we're absolutely straordinary at Rollbarkdale. I
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever seen the finish, you know, quite
Speaker 1: like it. From heading on to the practice ground and uh,
Speaker 1: you know over that mountain with me in the way
Speaker 1: just before yeah, just before he took the club back,
Speaker 1: my head appeared at the top of one of those hills.
Speaker 1: It was like a like a prairie dog or a
Speaker 1: mere cat, you know, looking out of his mind, you know,
Speaker 1: and I had to duck point that ball rocketed over
Speaker 1: my head, you know. So so watching him finish, um
Speaker 1: is you're you're right. I mean, it's an extraordinary thing,
Speaker 1: and he is. He does seem to be the one
Speaker 1: of our generation that's able to do it. Let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break here. The interview with David Ferty did
Speaker 1: to remind you that there is a new boss in
Speaker 1: town at Buffalo Ald Wings and he deals in bacon.
Speaker 1: Makes sense here. It's the Bacon Boss Burger, featuring bacon
Speaker 1: three different ways and a blanket of white cheese sauce.
Speaker 1: And he's joined by their new favorites like the smother
Speaker 1: Cheese steadcase of the Ella, Sweet Chili Shrimp and Alaska
Speaker 1: Cod Classic. All pair perfectly with the Sam seventy six
Speaker 1: of Fruitio with the crisp finish of a logger. Hurry
Speaker 1: in today and draw them all before they're gone to
Speaker 1: Buffalo Wild Wings Wings Beer Sports available for a limited
Speaker 1: time while supplies last. Please drink responsibly. Okay, back to David, Well,
Speaker 1: you know, like like I think to Tiger at at
Speaker 1: Tory Pines and that playoff, the greens were little bump,
Speaker 1: but you could see it on the coverage. You know,
Speaker 1: he had to make this, he had to make this
Speaker 1: unbelievable putt that was down the hill and you have
Speaker 1: it again. You have to read it perfectly and hit
Speaker 1: it perfectly, and and it's almost like a broken leg,
Speaker 1: broken leg, but you know, it's like it's like it's
Speaker 1: willed in and speed made that put on sixteen today,
Speaker 1: and it looked like it even surprised him that he
Speaker 1: made it. Yes, yeah, I think he said to Mike Groller, um,
Speaker 1: you know, do you believe that, you know, trying to
Speaker 1: let read him? You know he was, he was, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of shocked. But it was the nineteen Nicholas putt.
Speaker 1: And I actually posted the video a couple of minutes
Speaker 1: before he hit it, just to find people what it
Speaker 1: looked like when Nicholas made it, of course, and staying
Speaker 1: heard deaf and all that, but I mean, very similar
Speaker 1: types of things, and he's able to get a good
Speaker 1: to go. I was. I was believing that it was
Speaker 1: gonna happen, and I kept thinking there was a chance
Speaker 1: that we were going to see Reid stumble a little bit,
Speaker 1: and he just didn't. He he was unbelievable somebody that
Speaker 1: did stumble of course is Rory McElroy, and we have
Speaker 1: to talk about his day. He got off to to
Speaker 1: just an awful start. To drive on one was was
Speaker 1: miles right, but to me it was the put on two.
Speaker 1: I mean, he plays two perfectly. You know, he has
Speaker 1: three or four feet for eagle and that was going
Speaker 1: to tie the lead. He missed that, and that seemed
Speaker 1: to be the moment where there was a little bit
Speaker 1: of doubt that crept in and he really didn't didn't
Speaker 1: didn't have anything good happen after that. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: he just looked out of sorts. And you know Rory
Speaker 1: can be that way. He's kind of streaky um and
Speaker 1: nobody makes a game look more beautiful than he does
Speaker 1: when he plays well, that's for sure. But today, as
Speaker 1: you say, you know, he got up, that's kind of
Speaker 1: a lumpy start and and never really got into a rhythm.
Speaker 1: For people that have never been to Augustin National, how
Speaker 1: hard is the T shot at one? The T shot
Speaker 1: at one is is a main It's it's ridiculously difficult,
Speaker 1: especially off the back, and as far as these guys
Speaker 1: had it, you know, they still got to get it
Speaker 1: up and over that hill and it seems like the
Speaker 1: fairway has got narrower over the years, you know where
Speaker 1: it's a little more pinched in right by the bunker um.
Speaker 1: But the physical side of it is one thing. It's difficult,
Speaker 1: but you know, you get on that tea, you tee
Speaker 1: it up. Um. It's the first hole at at the Masters,
Speaker 1: and there's something special about it. Well, I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not a big overreactor in the sense of, you know,
Speaker 1: is will this guy ever win the Masters? Or what
Speaker 1: will you take away from this day? But you know
Speaker 1: the struggles of Rory again, he had an outside chance,
Speaker 1: I guess it went in a green jacket, wasn't able
Speaker 1: to do it. How much does the pressure build for
Speaker 1: a guy like that who knows what's going to come
Speaker 1: with the win here and not just with the win
Speaker 1: at the Masters, but of course that completes the career
Speaker 1: Grand Slam? Does it get harder and harder every year
Speaker 1: for that for Rory McElroy, you know, especially with what
Speaker 1: happened a few years back and what happened in two
Speaker 1: thousand eighteen. Well, you know, people forget that a few
Speaker 1: years back. You know, young ravaled on the back nine.
Speaker 1: You know, that was fine. But but he won the
Speaker 1: next major by eight, you know, so and everyone was predicting, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean it might you know, to be
Speaker 1: really bad for his career, you know, and he'll remember
Speaker 1: that forever. He's just not that sort of a person.
Speaker 1: Chain Um, it wouldn't surprise me if he wins the
Speaker 1: next one. Um, I mean, does it get harder? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just harder to win. It's hard to win the
Speaker 1: Masters every year. And I don't think that uh, you know,
Speaker 1: one is going to be any different from from another
Speaker 1: for Rory. I think that Rory's around was was looking back,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of an instantaneous look back. It feels
Speaker 1: like the most surprising of them because he played so
Speaker 1: beautifully on Saturday. The course was wet. You know, all
Speaker 1: of his major championships have been on golf courses that
Speaker 1: have been a little saturated. It just seemed like this
Speaker 1: was set up for him to go out there and
Speaker 1: do it. And I guess I was just surprised to
Speaker 1: see how out of sorts he was. And as we mentioned,
Speaker 1: from the start, it just seemed like he never felt
Speaker 1: very comfortable. Yeah, I mean I got t shot at
Speaker 1: the first and the best part of the second and
Speaker 1: you know, I mean he just I mean normally he'll
Speaker 1: he'll hit it inside ten feet five or six and
Speaker 1: if he plays well, you know, but he didn't do that.
Speaker 1: And he also he left it above the whole a
Speaker 1: bunch of times, you know, which is something that you
Speaker 1: can't do at Augusta. You've got to try and get
Speaker 1: it in there underneath the hole and make the whole
Speaker 1: playable that way, they're just unholdable puts when you get
Speaker 1: it above. Well. This, uh, this feels like it will
Speaker 1: be a Master's tournament where Ricky Faller gets forgotten despite
Speaker 1: finishing second. People are critical Ricky and he's, you know,
Speaker 1: the best player without a major championship. You can throw
Speaker 1: him or her Decky in there if you want. But
Speaker 1: he was one over par standing on a t and
Speaker 1: he shot sixty seven. Can we can we as a
Speaker 1: golf group forget this thing about him struggling in these
Speaker 1: big moments on a Saturday and Sunday because what he
Speaker 1: did and clutched up on eighteen, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: He did everything he could have done. Yeah, absolutely, he
Speaker 1: did more than he could have done. Really, I mean,
Speaker 1: Ricky Filer has maybe the best attitude of any player
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Um, I don't doubt that he'll win,
Speaker 1: uh you know, not just one major, but but multiple majors.
Speaker 1: And I mean he's probably the best short putter that
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. I mean, did you see the way
Speaker 1: that he put it today? You know from five and
Speaker 1: six feet that kind of I mean those are you
Speaker 1: just you just can't keep boring the men the way
Speaker 1: that he does. And he hits them with pace, He
Speaker 1: gets above the whole and he'll you know, rattle up
Speaker 1: a put and that he old one on the ninth
Speaker 1: that was going to go thirty yards down the fair way.
Speaker 1: It's just when he gets locked in like that, and
Speaker 1: you watch his face over golf shots, he seems as
Speaker 1: comfortable as anybody on the golf course. Do you would
Speaker 1: you say that's fair? Yes? Yeah, And I think that's
Speaker 1: part of you know, due to his attitude. You know,
Speaker 1: he doesn't get too up, he doesn't get too done,
Speaker 1: He just you know, goes out and plays golf. Well,
Speaker 1: I have to ask you if in five years from now,
Speaker 1: what do you think you'll remember more? Were your men
Speaker 1: remember the fact that Patrick reed when the Masters? Or
Speaker 1: will you remember the run that speed, ad, What do
Speaker 1: you think we'll stick in your brain more from this
Speaker 1: Master's Shan I'll be sixty and you know, five years
Speaker 1: from now, I'll be lucky if I remember. And I
Speaker 1: think that's fair. I think that's fair. Yeah, I think uh,
Speaker 1: I'll probably remember Patrick, you know, I mean, Jordan's run
Speaker 1: was memorable, there's no question, but but a master's chomping
Speaker 1: as a Master's champion, it was. It was special to see.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know the guy that that that grinds
Speaker 1: it out and and grind I felt like he really
Speaker 1: grind it out this win. I mean he made some
Speaker 1: spectacular shots and and hold some really incredible pots. I
Speaker 1: mean the birdie Putty made it, you know twelve when
Speaker 1: it seemed to kind of be possibly slip in a
Speaker 1: bit and he was able to kind of convert that
Speaker 1: to get it back going. I mean, you know, the
Speaker 1: every every bog he made outside of one on on Sunday,
Speaker 1: he bounced back with a birdie in the next round.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy that has found a
Speaker 1: way to grind out victories at times, grind out holes,
Speaker 1: grind out matches, and there's it's no surprise that he
Speaker 1: was so successful in college as a match play player,
Speaker 1: or there's no there's no surprise that he's been so
Speaker 1: good in the Ryder Cup, in the President's Cup because
Speaker 1: he takes it almost personally. You know, it seems like
Speaker 1: he wants to beat everybody's brains out, even if the
Speaker 1: guy hits at forty past him. You know, yeah, he does.
Speaker 1: And he's very smart as well. Um, you know, on eleven,
Speaker 1: instead of you know, trying to hit the cut and
Speaker 1: run it down on the grain, he just punched it
Speaker 1: out and and laid up fifteen. You know, he laid
Speaker 1: up you know, don the left hand side through the trees,
Speaker 1: which was a much more difficult shot, but left him
Speaker 1: with you know, a chance to you know, get it
Speaker 1: close from there, even though he didn't you know, it
Speaker 1: was it was a correct shot to head. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean he was. It was just again, I mean, it
Speaker 1: was steady with with you know, big hitters throwing missiles
Speaker 1: his way. I mean, when you've got Jordan's speaks what
Speaker 1: he's doing, and you've got Ricky Fowler making a charge late,
Speaker 1: you know, these aren't these aren't no names. These are
Speaker 1: some of the best players in the world. And it's
Speaker 1: it's deafening as well. You know, Don and Adele are
Speaker 1: around sixteen, you know, and when you're done a damn
Speaker 1: corner and there are people making you know, eagles and
Speaker 1: holes in one and that's sort I think it's a
Speaker 1: it's a tremendously hostile environment to have the lead. Well,
Speaker 1: it was. It was a fun Masters. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think that there was a moment where people writing it
Speaker 1: off like Reed's gonna win this. There was a moment
Speaker 1: where it seemed like there was gonna be a playoff.
Speaker 1: There was a moment that it looked like Speed might
Speaker 1: sneak everybody out by one. And and then obviously at
Speaker 1: the end, you know, you gotta make a three or
Speaker 1: four footer. That's a putt. I don't want. I don't
Speaker 1: want that putt to win the Masters. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: absolutely not. No. I mean it helps run away. My
Speaker 1: first reaction to that runaway, Yeah, that that thing got
Speaker 1: up on the hill and stayed there. And I was
Speaker 1: in a buddy watching it with me, and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I do not want to hit this two put in
Speaker 1: a million years. I don't wanted to drive on eighteen
Speaker 1: to begin with, but the two put the speed the
Speaker 1: speed t shot. You know we did that earlier in
Speaker 1: the week. You know, we hit that one left and
Speaker 1: the sneaky thing abou Augustin National is left is just
Speaker 1: can't play. You can't play from left off these teas
Speaker 1: for most almost every hole, really, yeah, for the most part.
Speaker 1: I mean he's a little unlucky, to be fair. I
Speaker 1: mean he just caught a branch you know, that was
Speaker 1: sticking out a mile there. I mean, it really wasn't
Speaker 1: that bad of t shot. When you're walking with groups
Speaker 1: out there, is it is it pretty apparent to know
Speaker 1: who the quote unquote patrons are rooting for. I mean,
Speaker 1: can you feel that they're cheering one person on way
Speaker 1: more than the other? Yes, you can. There's there's a
Speaker 1: sort of a swelling up of support, and you know
Speaker 1: that they were pretty good to Patrick. I mean, Augusta
Speaker 1: is you know, the most respectful gallery of the year.
Speaker 1: They're golf fans, you know, and they appreciate good golf.
Speaker 1: But I mean there was a tremendous, uh like pouring
Speaker 1: of support for for Jordan's and f Rory for that matter.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean he's such a great kid. Um.
Speaker 1: They both are. Um. But you know, towards the end.
Speaker 1: You know, it seems, you know, like Patrick was was
Speaker 1: going to deserve this, you know, and that sort of
Speaker 1: switched over. All. Right, I've gone, We've gone eighteen minutes,
Speaker 1: and I haven't asked you Tiger Woods, which has to
Speaker 1: be a record. Tiger of course coming back played the
Speaker 1: Masters and and just give me a grade. How would
Speaker 1: you grade the week for Tiger? You know I'd give
Speaker 1: him a B probably, um, I mean it was very
Speaker 1: disappointing for him. I mean, you put a brave face
Speaker 1: on it and the rest, what did you shoot? Even par?
Speaker 1: Just one over you? Now? Well not? Yeah, Well, you
Speaker 1: know that can happen if you're not you know, if
Speaker 1: you're not absolutely on out Augusta, you know you're you're
Speaker 1: not gonna you know, you're not gonna break par. And
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter as long as the golf course played,
Speaker 1: you know, after the rain, I would have expected him,
Speaker 1: you know, if if it had been like that from
Speaker 1: the beginning, he might have done a lot better, because,
Speaker 1: I mean, the golf course is a lot easier when
Speaker 1: it plays long. That's when it's short and fast, that's
Speaker 1: when Augusta is a nightmare. But Tiger, you know, he's
Speaker 1: on his way back. The beast is awakening, I think,
Speaker 1: and the game is just a lot more interesting with
Speaker 1: him in it. Well, I mean, and again, people, you know,
Speaker 1: they saw what he did at the two events leading
Speaker 1: up and they said, okay, now he's back. And I
Speaker 1: kept reminded, you know, just pump the brakes a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know, this is a major championship, it's the Masters.
Speaker 1: Has been a long time since he's been in this
Speaker 1: type of environment, and it might not be as easy
Speaker 1: as it was to do it at the Valves Bar.
Speaker 1: And of course, you know, we live in a in
Speaker 1: a world where you know, nobody pumps the brakes anymore.
Speaker 1: But it's just it's a little bit different. You go
Speaker 1: to the Masters, it's it's very very much different than
Speaker 1: playing bay Hill, you know, and that's just how it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as you know, any major championship for that matter. You know,
Speaker 1: you come in there and it's just that there's a
Speaker 1: much more weight on your shoulders and uh, it's much
Speaker 1: more of a test. Uh, you know, the failed is better,
Speaker 1: the golf course is better, the golf course is harder,
Speaker 1: you know. So I mean I think it's a little early,
Speaker 1: you know, to say that Tiger's back, but as he
Speaker 1: on the way back, you know, I think so. But
Speaker 1: I've been said that, I don't think we're gonna see,
Speaker 1: you know, anything like what we saw from ninety seven,
Speaker 1: you know, on through in or however long it was.
Speaker 1: I mean that that's my children are going to say
Speaker 1: that kind of golf, and their children might not say
Speaker 1: it either. Yeah, I mean it's it was. It was
Speaker 1: a different generation. There were different types of players and
Speaker 1: uh and and you know, I was thinking about what
Speaker 1: Jordan Spa was doing today, and for that matter, what
Speaker 1: Paul Casey was doing today, And as Paul Casey was
Speaker 1: making that run and it looked like he might get
Speaker 1: to sixty three, speak the same way I was thinking.
Speaker 1: You know, in the last year, we've seen around a
Speaker 1: nine under the US Open that never happened before. We
Speaker 1: saw sixty two at an Open Championship. We're seeing nearly
Speaker 1: another sixty three and possibly a sixty two at the Master's.
Speaker 1: Golf has gotten better in the sense of these players
Speaker 1: not being scared to go low. And that is another
Speaker 1: thing I feel like people failed to remember when they
Speaker 1: think about Tiger, Oh, he's not gonna be what he
Speaker 1: once was well, you know, the talent pool I think
Speaker 1: has got a little bit deeper as well. Oh for sure.
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's it's more difficult to win our and
Speaker 1: I mean they're just better players around, But it's the
Speaker 1: evolution of our species has got something to do with
Speaker 1: it as well. Players are just biggers, wronger, faster and
Speaker 1: every sport. You know, if you put Bill Russell's Celtics
Speaker 1: out against you know, today's Celtics, I mean that's not
Speaker 1: a match. They're just you know, bigger, stronger, faster. And
Speaker 1: it does apply to golf as well. Yeah, you don't
Speaker 1: think what you think Lebron James would have done pretty
Speaker 1: well back in like the nineteen sixties. You think get
Speaker 1: averages few points here here. I think he u he
Speaker 1: might have dominated so a little bit. How often do
Speaker 1: you play golf these days? You know, I have not
Speaker 1: played golf in eleven years, Shane. I I got run
Speaker 1: over by a truck riding riding my bicycle about eleven
Speaker 1: years ago and it crushed me all done the left
Speaker 1: side and my left arm is sort of crippled. It
Speaker 1: doesn't not a lot of people know that, but I
Speaker 1: can't close my left hand properly. So no golf is
Speaker 1: you know, no golf, no golf. It just just a
Speaker 1: thing you watched, just the thing you want and commentate on. Um,
Speaker 1: the Ferity Show coming back in May. You did the
Speaker 1: different thing in this this iteration of it where you
Speaker 1: had multiple guests. Is that something you enjoyed? Is that
Speaker 1: something you feel like you might go with again? Well, um,
Speaker 1: you know we're that's what we're doing. We're going with
Speaker 1: two or three guests this year. You know. I mean
Speaker 1: I like to tell people the show wasn't broken, so
Speaker 1: I decided to say, um, it has. It's been interesting,
Speaker 1: you know, getting people from different walks of life, you
Speaker 1: know sometimes golf or basketball or baseball or you know it. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know it has. I've enjoyed it. How do you
Speaker 1: match them up? I was? I was very interested with
Speaker 1: your first episode, Um, you know Brian bro I mean,
Speaker 1: which maybe not I would say maybe not the the
Speaker 1: outsider sports fan might know who that was, despite them
Speaker 1: being just unbelievable athletes and doing what they do in
Speaker 1: double's tennis. But how did you match How do you
Speaker 1: match them up? I mean? Is it is it a system?
Speaker 1: Do you find out who meshes well? With whom. I mean,
Speaker 1: what's the process. They're like, well, it's just kind of
Speaker 1: a you know, an amalgamation of you know, you know,
Speaker 1: things that I like and people that I like and
Speaker 1: though but my producers, you know, I think it's a
Speaker 1: good idea and also you know, it's a logistical thing.
Speaker 1: With three, it's much harder to get them all together.
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, for instance, we're gonna do uh
Speaker 1: one run a senior tour event where we've got three
Speaker 1: old farts, will hopefully be interesting that kind of thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're the ones that they're the ones that say anything.
Speaker 1: I've always said Jack Nicholas's press conferences gotten better and
Speaker 1: better every year because he's he's he's he's less scared
Speaker 1: to say what everyone's to say. That's right, he just
Speaker 1: doesn't care. Well, well, David, I appreciate the time, thanks
Speaker 1: for jumping on a recap and the masters. Um. Of course,
Speaker 1: you know you're taking a break with the show, but
Speaker 1: you'll be back in May. My show actually takes your
Speaker 1: place on Monday. Shotmakers is out on Monday nine pm,

Speaker 1: you're not. Well. I'll be watching it. Thanks Shane, it
Speaker 1: looks like I'm a wreck in the many things. To
Speaker 1: David Farity for jumping on and chatting about the Masters.
