Welcome to the fire 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:07.360 pit with Matt Janella. It's the fourth annual Wishbone Brawl 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:11.679 at goat Hill Park in Oceanside, California. It's Saturday, November 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.120 and it's a perfect afternoon for tournament golf at a 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:20.440 yard part municipal where everyone in the community is committed 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:24.200 to the vibe of world class for the working class 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.440 classes at the core of the Wishbone Brawl, which was 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.920 an idea Dean Wilson pitched to John Ashworth five years ago. 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:37.520 Four players, two teams, best ball and skins per Simmon Woods, 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:43.000 kids as caddies, no ropes, dogs encouraged. Great attitudes are 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:47.240 mandatory and all money raised goes to support Junior Golf. 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:53.440 A quick history in Wilson, who lives in San Diego 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.200 and has invested in goat Hill Park, teamed up with 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.480 Xander Shaffley, who grew up playing in San Diego and 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:03.400 played for San Diego State. They beat Charlie Hoffman and 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.600 Chris Riley, who were un l V teammates and now 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:12.320 both live in San Diego. Brawl to Wilson brought his 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:31.720 friend Mike Weir and they beat Shofley and Hoffman in well. 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.800 Jeff Ogilvie, paired with Riley, had the walk off ace 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:41.919 from a hundred and thirty three yards on the ninth 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.040 hole in a sudden death playoff against Wilson and Shofly 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:50.320 was canceled due to COVID, but this year the brawl 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.240 was back, bigger and better than ever. Due to a 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.720 fast flood of early interest, Ashworth had to close ticket 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.919 sales on Tuesday before the Saturday event, having had roughly 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:05.800 four people in the gallery in it was looking like 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:09.000 there would be more than a thousand. Our team at 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.800 Firepit Collective partnered with the production company of Cuney Pearson 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.919 to go live on link soul dot com. The edited 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.200 version of the broadcast, as well as other perspectives on 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.160 the day, can now be found at fire Pit Collective 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:26.920 dot com. In this podcast, you'll get some of the 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:31.720 best action and reaction, added perspective and reflections from players, 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:36.080 caddies and people in the crowd. Shaffley and Wilson are 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:40.360 paired together again and today they're playing against Fred Couples 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.440 and Will Crop. Here's John Ashworth, the man responsible for 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.080 saving Goat Hill Park ten years ago, on how an 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.040 event like this comes together and how it has grown 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:54.000 over the years. I mean, there's definite thought that goes 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:58.200 into it, but it's, uh, it's just like the event itself. 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.880 It's pretty loose. There's no rope and you know, uh 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.360 we kind of go with the flow, which was our 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:08.040 theme this year. Let's just go with the flow and 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:11.600 uh and not a lot of restrictions. And it just 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.240 seemed to come out amazing. I mean it was I'm 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.000 still buzzing, you know, I was just going through Morgan's 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:22.719 photos and you know it was everybody's just smiling. Here 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.039 the ere the whole day, you know, the gallery, the caddies, 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:31.760 the players that you know, unbelievable. And here's shortly after 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.680 the round with his perspective on the evolution of the 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.960 Wishbone Brawl. It's unbelievable. I mean, I think this is 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.880 sort of what we all envisioned. We just didn't really 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.160 know how it was gonna come come to and um 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.599 with COVID it was sort of a major setback of 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:46.640 sort of what we you know, it's one down year 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.240 of of nothingness. So it's it's awesome to see that 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.240 everyone was excited to come back. We had you know, 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.800 triple or quadruple to turn out the normal, and it 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.640 makes it so much more exciting for us to sort 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.760 of playing front everyone and have everyone's rounding the greens 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.960 and walking with us, sort of exactly what the wish 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:02.360 bon ball is all about. The Ryder Cup is with 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.200 the Ryder Cup is, but this also can happen and 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.240 it can be something that brings people to the game, 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:09.960 right It's I mean, this is more likely going to 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.000 bring people to the game versus a Ryder Cup. Unfortunately. 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.560 This is how this is how it is. This is 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.680 easy to do, it's quicker, it's more affordable, and so 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.919 you know, it is our duty to sort of, you know, 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.520 get as many youngsters to play and some of the 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.000 Wishbon Ball. You know, I had a kid sort of 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.040 walking by my ball and eighteen didn't even I was 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:26.480 just in the crowd and he was just looking around, 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.159 you know what I mean, really walking right through my line. 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.080 So I feel like that's literally what the tourments about. 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.000 And it's so awesome to see everyone just kind of 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.640 cruising around. Fred Couples was cruising around goad Hill Park 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.559 for the first time. Here he is after the round, 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:42.599 on his relationship with Xander, playing Per Simmons and making 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.919 his debut at the Wishbone Brawl. X and Patrick Cantley 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.159 and I at the Ryder Cup. We had a great time. 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.599 I was there, kind of guy in their pod, so 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:55.000 I saw him hit every shot. Um An, Elexander is 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.800 one hell of a player, and so for him to 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.840 come out here and show his stuff, get a lot 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.000 of people to come out support the event and watch 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.160 him play, and then myself included. But I can't really 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:08.960 say enough about you know, I was a good player 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.440 when I was thirty years old. These guys are They 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.120 just hit the ball a lot differently, um and you 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.000 can tell, you know, they're stronger, they hit it further. 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.679 The equipments better. But I do get a little chuckle 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.560 when I see them looking at these clubs that I 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.840 used to use and they just don't understand because all 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.520 they've seen is metal woods. Um. But it was fun. 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.240 I enjoyed the whole day. We're getting to the day, 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.200 but first, how all of this comes together is always 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.400 a bit of a puzzle. Ashworth builds the event around 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.599 shoff Lee's holiday schedule. Once the date was set, Dean 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.760 was in Riley and Hoffman were going to be out 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.960 of town, so Ashworth considered Couples who he has known 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:51.160 for thirty five years. Ashworth sent couples of text on 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:55.279 Friday September. It was funny because he didn't get back 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.960 to me right away and so he I felt like 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.200 he was kind of ghost in me and uh And 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.800 I think it was about three weeks later I got 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.920 a text from him out of the blue that said, 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.720 not sure how I missed this text, but I just 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.840 found it. Give me a few days to see where 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.840 I'm at. It's a Saturday. And then he said, Okay, 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.960 I talked to X. I'm in. I will definitely be 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:22.520 there in November. So Couples was in. As for crop 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.000 who was an All American at Oklahoma and has been 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.080 grinding it out and occasionally winning on some mini tours. 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.840 He tells his story about how he found Goat Hill 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.840 Park and ultimately ended up as the fourth and this 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.920 year's Wishbone Brawl before we hear from Will you should Know. 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:42.280 Peter Beams is commonly referred to as the Professor, a 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.360 former European tour player, he's done books with Gary Player, 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.320 has a savant like approach to the swing and the game, 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.520 and is often seen at Goat giving tips to kids 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.680 or struggling adults. I met Peter Beams on the beach 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.840 and it was right when COVID started, and he said, hey, 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.920 you should go volunt you should go pick the range 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.120 of Sydney. So I just started May started coming out here. 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.680 My wife and I knew nobody in North County, nobody 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.640 in San Diego. We just started. Um. We just knew 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.720 we loved it here. We knew we love the weather, 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:13.560 we knew we loved being by the ocean, and we 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.320 just said, hey, if we're gonna make it, we'll just 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.200 keep plugging along. So I started picking the range and 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.200 then started doing the starting all for free and then 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.760 started working in the carts, washing the carts, and then 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.440 started working in the pro shop and now lucky to 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.440 be one of the teachers here at North County. And 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.680 that's why I think this day is so special because 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.079 it's my day to day to help with the kids, 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.480 coach the kids out here, and it's just it's this 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.319 brought so much awareness to that and that's what's so special. 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.679 You meet Peter Beams on the beach. But how does 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.880 that how he's walking with golf club he's walking with 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.400 golf clubs. Yeah, she struck up. I struck up a 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:48.880 kind of in that about a month into COVID, just 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.920 wanting to see people, you know, just usually probably wouldn't 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.800 have said anything, but hey, what are you going to 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.280 play or something? And he said, I'm the head pro 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.880 and go to hill and I said, oh, no way. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.840 And I kind of had met John before through some 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.080 mutual friends in twenty nineteen, went to the lab and 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.600 that kind of thing, and I was kind of saying, oh, yeah, yeah, 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:09.520 I kind of know John. And he goes, well, let 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.040 me tell you. If you want to talk to anybody, 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:12.679 you talk to me, and you go out and you uh, 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:14.640 you meet with my friend Sydney and you can pick 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.680 the range, said perfect, I'm in And you had a 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.360 Peter Beams shirt but didn't know that that was Peter Beam. H. Yeah. 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.400 In twenty nineteen, after the corn Ferry season ended, John 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.880 had gave given me that Peter Beam shirt and I 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.240 had worn it for a whole year before I met him, 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.600 and uh kind of put two and two together, and 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.640 it just seems like fate at this point that I 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.840 was meant to be here for sure. So h Peters 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.760 obviously a legend in his own right, and it was 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.120 awesome to have him out there. But the story, I 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.360 can't make the story up. I can't make it up. 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:47.079 It's just it's incredible. Having now observed Crop at the 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.720 Goat for over a year, it's as though Beams is 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.400 passing him the baton of playing and teaching the game 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:56.400 with a focus on feel, fun and spirituality. I mean, 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:58.800 golf is my life and it's taught me everything I know, 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.400 and it's just so cool to see somebody like Peter 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.120 Beams who's had a similar journey. He's kind of gone 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.720 through the ranks and just live that golf life and 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.720 it's just so cool to meet him. I think that 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:11.839 you hit on a perfect point. That the Goat Hill, 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.200 the top of this hill, it's an energy vortex, it's 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.600 it draws people in. And um, I'm excited for the 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.840 future of Goad Hill. I'm excited for the future of 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.440 North County. I'm excited for all of it. I feel 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.040 like it's just this is just the start of something 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.840 super special. People like you coming in. I think it's 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.440 it's just unbelievable. I can't even And then to top 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.640 it off with today and I just couldn't draw a 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:39.000 better script. It's incredible to crops point, it was a 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.080 compelling script and an incredible day.

So as far as 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.160 the match goes, So yeah, so you know, I'm always 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.240 again nervous, and we got to go on the first 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.640 tea and there's the crowds filling in and we know 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.520 there's going to be at least a thousand people and 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.040 shure enough, I mean there was at least a thousand 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.319 people there and everyone's were making our way over to 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.319 the first team and you know, you and I are 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.680 doing a little dog and pony over there. And I 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.000 will tell you that in all the places I've been 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.080 and all the places I've seen as I've traveled the 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:12.040 world of golf, and golf destinations. Uh, it's hard to 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.680 say that golf courses can boast the idea that every 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.280 day for the last seven years, this golf course has 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:21.080 gotten better and that's really because of John Ashworth, his 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.640 commitment to the community, his vision and if and if 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:27.280 you think that he's just the visionary behind it, if 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.680 you come out here late afternoon as the sun's going down, 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.240 the guy with the shovel with the flatbed making his 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.080 way down the maintenance shed is John Ashworth. So let's 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.400 give it up for the caretaker of goat Hill Park. 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:44.320 John Ashworth. Thanks you, he's on. Hey. I just want 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.880 to welcome everybody here to goat Hill Park. This is 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:51.000 an amazing event for such a good cause. You know, 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:56.959 a little backstory. This place has been around since nineteen two. 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:00.400 It was originally a nine hole golf course and it 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:03.559 was way before the five freeway went in, so it's 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.760 been around a while. Uh. It was rerouted into an 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.200 eighteen hole golf course in the late eighties and it 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:14.000 fell on hard times about ten years ago and the 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:18.320 city was put an RFP a request for proposal out 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.200 to a big, big time developers. So this was going 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.439 to be condos and strip malls and all that kind 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:28.839 of thing. We had just started Link Soul down on 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:33.160 the Coast Highway and and my partner, co founder Jeff 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:37.079 Cunningham of Link Soul and goad Hill Park, we said, 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.520 you know, we can't just sit back and watch that happen. 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:43.520 So we put our own proposal in to save Goat 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:47.000 Hill Park cleaning up, make it the home of the 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:51.280 North County Junior Golf Uh, put in a little kids 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:55.520 course over there that's free for kids, and uh and 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:59.480 here we are, you know, ten years later. So thanks 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:04.320 to them, you, my wife and I moved from Orlando 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:08.480 to San Diego in November. We're incredibly grateful to be 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.520 benefiting from the camaraderie and the commitment to all that's 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.679 good about golf and life. Our kids are growing up 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:19.960 learning from people like Ashworth, Beams, Crop Wilson, the Stocktons, 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:24.280 Guy Burgers, watching legends like Kelly Slater, Byron Scott and 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.840 Bill Murray who occasionally show up and tee it up 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.280 at the Goat on any given day. But as for 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.720 who's teeing it up on this day, we go back 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.800 out to the first team. Dean Wilson obviously, winner on 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.560 the PGA Tour twenty one top tens. He had six 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:41.040 wins on the Japanese Tour, two of those were majors. 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.440 He's in both the Hawaii and Las Vegas Golf Hall 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.800 of Fame, and he's two time winner of the Wishbone Brawl. 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:54.480 Dean Wilson coming out of DA Caddean for Dean will 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.840 be Ethan Lee. Ethan is a freshman at the College 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:02.000 of Palomar. Ethan has been a stalwart out here and 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.760 UH and an anchor to the caddy program. He's an 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.000 amazing kid. His low round here at god Hill Park 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:12.040 is sixties seven. Come out out, Ethan. This is Ethan Leon. 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.440 Finding out he was in as a caddy at this 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:18.120 year's brawl. So I found out from from John. I 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.640 asked him, who's gonna caddy for the Wishbone and he's like, 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.720 I'm thinking about putting you your sisters in Cayden, And 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.080 I was like, Wow, that's that's gonna be a lot 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.760 of fun for sure, And I was very thankful that 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.320 he chose us and and Kate and out of all 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:38.760 the other caddies. Partnering with Dean is UH gold medal 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:42.760 winner four time winner on the PGA Tour recent Ryder 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.440 cover where he had a record of three and one. Uh. 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:56.480 He is San Diego's own Xander Shoply. Xander is a 0:15:56.560 --> 0:16:01.320 one time winner of the Wishbone Brawl. He's got as 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:06.200 many wishbones as gold medals. That's cold, man, that's cold. 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:12.000 It's just the facts. Caddying for Xander is Cade Fisher. 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:14.440 He's a junior at Carl's Bad High, plays one or 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.480 two on that team. Again, another one of the great 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:22.520 kids out here in the caddy program. Cade's low round 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:27.480 at goad Hill Park is even part. Here's Cade Fisher 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.360 on finding out he was in as a caddy. I'd 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.440 say probably like a month ago. I somebody told me 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.840 that I possibly have the chance to do it, and 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.120 so I got kind of excited over that. And then 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:41.840 but like only the monday before I think you were there. Uh, 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:43.600 John Ashliff came up and he was like, hey, I 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.880 got you a spot on the bag. And I didn't 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.760 know who yet until like the day of, but that's 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.200 when I found out that I was cattying. And I 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.480 don't really I just wanted to carry like that was 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.120 super cool to be able to have that opportunity. And 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:56.920 then so I found out that Monday and I found 0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:00.960 out that I was cattying for Xander Um like while 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:02.880 we were doing the pick up around the course, so 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:08.280 like two or three hours before the event started, and 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.000 what do you think? Oh my gosh, I was so excitedly, 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:13.159 I don't think the smile left my face for like 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:16.200 two hours, like because I think one of the least 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:20.040 sisters actually told me and I was like, Oh my goodness, 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:25.720 that's just insane, perfect scenario. Oh yeah. By the way, 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.359 Cage's father is an F thirty five pilot in the 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.359 Marine Corps based here in Mirror, Maor how about a 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:37.719 round of applause for K's falling. Second team will be 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.640 led by local boy Will Crop, captain at Oklahoma, turned 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:45.240 pro and he's one on the Adams Tour, the Latin 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:48.640 American Tour.

As John said, he owns 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.800 the course record at ten under par. Expect good things 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.760 that are will and that was with the Percentam was yeah, 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:10.280 but I was with Per Simmon to write with Per Simmons, 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.560 that's the only way to get the official course record 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:19.240 is your christ.

Actually, 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.639 kind of an odd set of circumstances for me and 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:54.560 probably a lot of people in the crowd. Kind of 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.480 your whole life coming full circle growing up being a 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.880 huge fan of Fred Couples wearing ash Worth, pulling up 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.160 the sleeves and now here I'm standing on the first 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:07.199 team introducing the Masters Champion, fifteen time winner on the 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:10.720 PGA to two time players championte time on the Champions 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:22.720 Show World Hall of Favor Couples Caddy and for Freddie 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:25.879 is Aida League.

So here they are the 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:04.520 first shots in order, Will Crop, Fred Couples, Xander Shotley, 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:14.640 then Dean Wilson. The sweet sound of Persimmons's as good 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:20.520 as it gets shot before there we go. That we 0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:24.240 go and they're off. Four players, kids as caddies, no ropes. 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:27.680 Here's Ashworth on course conditions, and we tried to set 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:29.440 the course up pretty easy. We want to see a 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:31.400 lot of Birdie's right. But the first hope we kind 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:33.600 of we tucked the pin in the back on the 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.840 first hope, which isn't an easy pin placement. Nobody got 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:43.560 it close. Um and Fred made about a up the 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:46.440 hill to get things gone. Just boom right out of 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:49.879 the gate, bam, Fred makes a birdie, Fred Couples for 0:21:50.000 --> 0:22:12.879 Birdie and hid a nice three girls. After having the 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:15.680 second hole with Pars, it was Wilson who had the 0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:18.080 last look at Bertie on the short part four third 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:23.320 hole teen. Notorious for binding one of the best putters 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:28.480 on tour again had six wins on the Japanese Tour 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:32.879 won the Sprint International. Makes Bertie here at three parted, 0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:36.440 and this match is all square after a bunch of 0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:39.120 irons into the fairway at the par four fourth, which 0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:41.080 has one of the toughest greens to hold on the 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:44.520 course and is protected by an extreme slope that funnels 0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:47.199 down into a large grass bowl in front of the green. 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:54.360 We go to Xander's approach shot. It looks really good, 0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:57.080 got the wind hit it right as it got a 0:22:57.080 --> 0:22:59.840 lot of spin stopped. There is a swell and it's 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:04.480 the over and take it. The goat, the goat. Take 0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:12.159 What's what's that called? What's that called? Xander? God? To 0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:15.000 get goaded is when you miss in the wrong spot 0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:18.120 and paid dearly for it. Now we're around the fourth green. 0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:21.480 Couples has a ten footer for Bertie shockly hit the 0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:23.880 cup with his chip. He is in for a par. 0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:30.000 Wilson is up chipping from just off the greens for Bertie. 0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:35.720 It's Dan Wilson chips in, called Birdie. Now Freddie has 0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:40.520
