1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? Everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: It is one of, if not my favorite weeks of

3
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: the year, especially non football. It might be my favorite

4
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: week of the year. The Masters doesn't get any better.

5
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: We are gonna dive deep into just some big picture

6
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: thoughts when it comes to this week. And then I

7
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: got about six seven guys that I am going to

8
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: have action on this week, from top tens to top

9
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: twenties to potentially, you know, to win the tournament. I'm

10
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: going to have a live Draftking special. It's hard not

11
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: to like some of the live guys and the momentum

12
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: they have coming into this tournament. So we will do that,

13
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: and we will I'll also answer your questions at golo Pod.

14
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: At golopod is the Instagram, Fire in those dms and

15
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: do it now. It's a separate Instagram account from my

16
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: normal account for football. So just if you got any

17
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: golf questions anything, it doesn't have to be gambling related,

18
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: Masters related, pro golf related, just fire in those dms

19
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: and we will answer your question here on the show.

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: So before we dive in to the go Loo Master's preview,

21
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: let's tell you about my friends, my partners and the

22
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: official ticketing app game Time. I've been using them for

23
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: a long time, and listen, I've used every ticketing app

24
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: known to man, and I can tell you this, Honestly,

25
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: there's not a better ticketing app on the market than

26
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: these guys. I've used them to go to hockey games.

27
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: I've used them to go to concerts. So if you

28
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: want to go to anything, you want to go to

29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: a basketball playoff game right around the corner. You want

30
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: to go to an NHL playoff game, right around the corner,

31
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: concert season, comedy shows. They got you covered. You can

32
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: search by price points, by venues, by artists. It doesn't

33
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: get any easier. I've traveled near and far. I've gone

34
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: to concerts here in Arizona. I've gone to ones in Vegas.

35
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: I've been all over the place because of these guys.

36
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,160

Speaker 1: No clue why I said John like that, but we'll

43
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: just kind of rolled off the tongue. Let's dive into

44
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: the Masters and before we talk individual players, storylines and

45
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: ultimately gambling. Listen, this has probably always been the super

46
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: Bowl of golf. It's the only tournament of the four

47
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: majors that has played at the same venue every single year.

48
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: It's not true for the PGA, it's not true for

49
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: the US Open, It's obviously not true for the Open Championship.

50
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: And this feels like the most iconic of the group. Obviously,

51
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: the green jacket. It's one of those things for a

52
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: sport that, let's face it is Niche can pierce through

53
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: and everyone understands what the green jacket is. It typically

54
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: is the highest rated. If you remove Tiger where in

55
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: the two thousands and the late nineties and the twenty tens,

56
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: if he was in the mix, he could be playing

57
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: in your backyard, let alone, in a major championship. The

58
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: ratings we're gonna go up you remove him. To me,

59
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: this is the cash cow. This is the one that

60
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: everyone gravitates to. Most of us have never been yet.

61
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: We discuss not allowed to have phones all the food

62
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: and the beer and everything is really cheap that there's

63
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: like a nostalgic, heavenly cool, unique, like all these different

64
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: ways to describe it, and everyone is like, God, I

65
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: would love to go to that. And whether you like

66
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: golf or you don't, it's a cool event and everyone

67
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: acknowledges that. And I think one reason this event has

68
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: been I would say gone to another level the last

69
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: couple of years is because of Live and golf has

70
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: never been strong enough but definitely isn't now without some

71
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: superstar Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicholas type guy. I mean,

72
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: Scotty and Rory are awesome. I wouldn't put him in

73
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: Jack Arnie in Tiger's category here, it's not big enough

74
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: to take away three or four of the most important players,

75
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: and we are feeling that and the tournaments. While I

76
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: love golf and I would be considered, as they would

77
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: say in Radio a P one, I'm a diehard, Like

78
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 1: I'm paying attention last week when Brian Harmon is winning

79
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: his fourth career PGA event, most people don't give a shit,

80
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: and by some of the quotes that are coming out,

81
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: I saw John Rahm, who I think it's fair to

82
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: assume as the highest paid player in the history of

83
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: liv said that he doesn't know, but he doesn't expect

84
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: anything to happen anytime soon. It's kind of sad, and

85
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spend too much time on this. But

86
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: the Master's benefits from this because we only get four

87
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: times a year when Bryce and d Chambeau, whose stardom

88
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: has gone up greatly over the last four or five years.

89
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: First he got big like a football player, then he

90
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: got skinny, then he went to live, then he got

91
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: this really popular YouTube channel. Then he won a major

92
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: last year and he took down Rory McElroy, so his

93
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: stardom has never been bigger. He's a two time major champ,

94
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: Kopka's won a bunch of majors, Rom has won multiple

95
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: US Opens. Obviously, Phil is one of the biggest stars

96
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: in the history of golf. And those guys are just

97
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: gone and we only get to see them play with

98
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: these other guys four times a year, and the Master's

99
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: benefits because of the schedule. It's the first major, so

100
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: it's the first time that we see all these guys together,

101
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: and sometimes they're paired together. In the last couple of years,

102
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: some of these guys have won majors, and some of

103
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: them have competed to win this major. I mean a

104
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: couple of years ago we had Brooks and rom and

105
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: Scotty and all these guys going at it. And it's

106
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: just kind of sad the more I think about it,

107
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: because you get Yasser, who ultimately doesn't give a shit.

108
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: He's got access to the Saudi piggybank, which is unlimited,

109
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: and he just wanted a seat at the table. And Jay,

110
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: who listen, I don't pretend to know the guy, but

111
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: clearly feels a little over his head in this whole endeavor.

112
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: Pushed back against it originally, and this where it got

113
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: to where it's at. And now they're negotiating, and Tiger's

114
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: clearly involved, and his ego and pride based on the

115
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: history of golf have to play a factor here and

116
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: the whole thing's embarrassing. And the players don't lose out

117
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: They've never been richer who loses or us because we

118
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: don't get to see these guys play. So when they

119
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: actually do the Masters, you gotta thoroughly enjoy it, and

120
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: hopefully you can get a good mix of a Bryson,

121
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: A Brooks, a ram against a Scotti, a Rory, a JT.

122
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: And all those guys are in the mix down the

123
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: home stretch. I mean that's happened the last couple of years.

124
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: Obviously last year with Bryson against Xander and then Bryson

125
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: against Rory, it was badass. And I would be stunned

126
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: going into this tournament if this ain't a big gun

127
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: like I think if you just look at top tens

128
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: in top twenties, I don't think they're gonna be too

129
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: many flyers. I would expect the big names, the best

130
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: players to be in the mix. I mean that's how

131
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: it's played out the last couple of years. Obviously, you

132
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: could have a random guy in the top ten, but

133
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: look at the guys that won the majors last year.

134
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: It was starting with this tournament. He's won two of

135
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: the last three. Scotty Scheffler, well, who was he battling

136
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: straight up against Ludwig Colin Morikawa, Max Homa who was

137
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: playing really well at the time. Then the PGA Championship,

138
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: who was going at it? Xander Hoveland and Bryson. What'd

139
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: you have in the US Open? Rory Bryson one on

140
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: one the Open Xander kicked everyone's ass like this is

141
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: when the cream separates, and it's what makes Major so great.

142
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: It's what made Tiger and Jack such legends. It's like,

143
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: you guys won that many and listen, the tour is

144
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: not as powerful because they don't have a Tiger like figure.

145
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: I know Scotty's awesome, but he ain't type. Neither is Rory.

146
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: He hasn't won a Major in ten years. But the

147
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: depth of the talent in the top ten fifteen players

148
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: has never been better. I love Tiger. I think he's

149
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: right there with Michael as my favorite athlete of all time.

150
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: Besides like Phil Ernie and a couple other iterations of

151
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: like a Retief Goosen and a Chris DeMarco and a

152
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: Padrick Harrington. He did not have to take on the

153
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: depth of talent. Now, I don't think that would have

154
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: phased him. I think he's still his numbers would have

155
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: spoke for themselves, and he still would have kicked everyone's ass.

156
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: But it's it would have been awesome to see a

157
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: twenty eight year old Tiger involved with these guys. I

158
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: would take him over all these guys. But still, like

159
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: the talent of this group is pretty indisputable, and that's

160
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: why I think the number one storyline coming in, like

161
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: Scotty Scheffler has a chance to win three of the

162
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: last four Masters. Think about that. That's Tiger Woods never

163
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: did that. Hell, Phil's one three, he didn't do that.

164
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: That would put him in a rare category with a

165
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: guy named Jack Nicholas. And I don't think he's the

166
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: biggest story coming into this major. I think it's easily

167
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: Rory McElroy, who is I think it's fair to say

168
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 1: the top player of the last fifteen years and a

169
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: guy who's number one story right now is he can't

170
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: win a Major despite the last couple of years being

171
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: right there. I mean, what was it six seven months ago?

172
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: He had the US Open one until he didn't. He

173
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: stormed out and he drove off with his caddy and

174
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: his manager and we didn't see him again till the fall.

175
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: But I think when it comes, I guess we saw

176
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: him at the British Like I think he's easily the

177
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: number one story. And I watched Brandle give an interview

178
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: with the guy and he said Rory's had a couple

179
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: issues here. One he has not started fast, and if

180
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: you look at Rory's first rounds at the Masters, they

181
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: are not good. Even a couple of years ago when

182
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: he finished second, he shot sixty four on Sunday and

183
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: he's still lost by three. So let's face it, he

184
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: never had a chance to win that tournament. On average, right,

185
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: you play seventy two holes in golf. The winner of

186
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: the Masters hits about fifty two greens, so obviously you've

187
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: got to get up and down twenty plus times. Rory

188
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: McElroy on average in his Master's career hits about forty two,

189
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: so like he ain't exactly Phil Mickelson around the greens.

190
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: So that's a huge disadvantage for him, and I don't

191
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: think it's random why he hasn't won this tournament when

192
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: those are your stats. I also heard this that the

193
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: winner when it comes to the Masters on average is

194
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: in the top ten after round one, with an average

195
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: position after round one of a little under seven six

196
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: point six. So it shows you there aren't not that

197
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: it's never happened, but for the most part over the

198
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: history of the tournament, there aren't guys coming from like

199
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: thirtieth place and comes storming back. And I think a

200
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: big reason why is lot of squorreble holes here. This

201
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: isn't a place typically you see crazy meltdowns. It's happened,

202
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't say this is the British Open or

203
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: the US Open where you're gonna go back to back

204
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: doubles down the stretch in the second round. This is

205
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: pretty telling. The average pole position is three point two,

206
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: and then when it comes to the third round, the

207
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: average winning pole position is one point five. So typically

208
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: whoever you're betting on and specifically, like, listen, I'm gonna

209
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: have a little rar reaction. I'm rooting for Rory to

210
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: win this. But like if he shoots seventy three on

211
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: day one is in forty, if like he's not winning,

212
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: that's just not going to happen. Why because that never

213
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: happens here. That's not the deal. So if you can

214
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: just have like a one under or two under day

215
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: instead of a two over day, it goes a long

216
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: way to winning this tournament. And like, at this point

217
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: in time, there's no excuses for him anymore, not that

218
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: anyone's making them. It's kind of been sad that he

219
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: just hasn't been able to figure this out. And listen,

220
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: say what you want about the other tournaments. He's been

221
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: right there to win all three, especially the US Open.

222
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: In the Open, he easily could have won three over

223
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: the last three years, but this tournament has been a

224
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: bugaboo for him. And I do think listen, we're all

225
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: human beings and belief in confidence. The older you get

226
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: you realize how important that is. Some people you're not

227
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: born confident, but obviously some people in their youth are

228
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: more confident. Whether it's because they're good at sports, they're

229
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: good looking and girls like them. However, it manifests you

230
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: know whether you're great in school, so you know you're

231
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: really smart. Most people are not. I would say most

232
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: young people lack confidence, and rightfully so it's hard. You

233
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: don't have the experience of having a lot of successes

234
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: to build up confidence. The older you go ideally, whatever

235
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: you're doing professionally, you build up confidence doing. I know

236
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: a lot of my friends have young children. I don't

237
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: have kids yet. I would imagine early on. I've seen

238
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: it with my brother. I've seen some of my best

239
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: friends like it's a little nerve wracking having a young kid.

240
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: By the time they're five or six, it's like feet up,

241
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: you're not even worried about it. You hear him crying.

242
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: It's like, come over here, right, because the confidence of

243
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: raising a child you feel much better about. You don't

244
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: freak out over every little thing. And what's really weird

245
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: is it's probably impossible over the last fifteen years to

246
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: play much more golf than Rory and have the success,

247
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: the financial success and the wins that the guy has had.

248
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: Yet there does feel like he's not that confident here,

249
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: and there's like a lack of belief, and like, I

250
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: want to be totally believe in the guy and put

251
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: the biggest bet I've ever made on a golf tournament

252
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: because like, look how well he's playing. Look how he

253
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: played a pebble, Look how he played at the players.

254
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: He's working his wedges. His driver hasn't even been on.

255
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: Imagine if he starts hitting you know the majority of fairways,

256
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: watch out. And there's just something that you can't quantify.

257
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: And that's what makes sports so cool. It's like it's

258
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: like Lamar and Josh against the Chiefs. It's like there's

259
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: just something. These guys are all time great players combine

260
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: three MVPs. Neither of them are even thirty yet, and

261
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: it's like when they play the Chiefs, if it's all

262
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 1: on the line in January, it's like, that's not gonna happen.

263
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: Like we have the evidence now, like I'm out, I'm out,

264
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you I'm believing. But if this thing goes,

265
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: if he were to shoot like not even close or

266
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: to worst case miss the cut, but like not even

267
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: sniff the top ten, there's nothing he can do moving

268
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: forward where you could ever believe in him coming into

269
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: this tournament. If he ever wins it, which I still

270
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: think he probably does, but if he doesn't win it

271
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: this week and it looks really weird, I think from

272
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: then on out you just got to be like, well,

273
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: this is the place where you can't figure it out

274
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. And you know, brandall can break down

275
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: technically as wedges on the hilly lies whatever. It's like

276
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: all the good players figure it out, right, Rom figured

277
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: it out, Tiger figured it out, Phil figure it out,

278
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: Scotty figure it out, Jordan figured it out. Great players

279
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: figure it out. This guy is an all time great player.

280
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: It's like he's either figuring out right now or it's

281
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: just I don't know. Everyone's kind of off the sense.

282
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: So I think he by far is the biggest story

283
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: in a weird way. Scottie, despite being the defending champ,

284
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: and I'm recording this before his meal, feels like he

285
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: gets to play a little under the radar. There's nothing

286
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: else I like more about Masters Week two. Then the

287
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: pictures that come out of the Champions dinner. It's all

288
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: these dudes, and you know, I'm who I would doubt

289
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: Tiger goes because it's a torn Achilles. But you know,

290
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: Phil now has kind of got his mojo back. Remember

291
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, Phil didn't say a word

292
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: when live first started happening in the dinner, and Phil

293
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: is like the biggest talker in the room, didn't say

294
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: a peep. I feel like he's gonna be very talkative now.

295
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: And that dinner, a lot of people talk shit about

296
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: Scotty's meal, which I think I saw someone tweet out

297
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: is technically the cheapest meal in the history of the Masters.

298
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: But I'm always behind something in a big group setting,

299
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,359
Speaker 1: like you can go simple, like no one's complaining about sliders,

300
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: steak and potatoes, like I promise you, even though it's like, wow,

301
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: that's just so boring. It's like everyone will eat it

302
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: and be very, very satisfied. It's like, what dessert is

303
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: a cookie and ice cream? I've never seen anyone eat

304
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: a warm chocolate chocolate chip cookie over vanilla ice cream

305
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: and have a bad experience. Now, could there be better desserts? Sure?

335
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 1: Okay, let's gamble. It is difficult. I mean, Scotty's basically

336
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: three to one. Rory's hovering six and a half six

337
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: to one. That's pretty insane. Odd's like Scotty, understandable. He's

338
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: won this tournament two of three years. He should be

339
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: the heavy favorite. It would shock nobody if like Scotty

340
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: wins again. Right, Rory never won this tournament, honestly, never

341
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: really played well and is getting treatment like he's Tiger

342
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: Woods or Phil Mickelson in their prime. But like it's

343
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: hard to argue based on the way he's playing, Like

344
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: what should his odds be? Like fifteen to one? Everyone

345
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: would hammer that, including myself, to six and a half.

346
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: Six to one. It's like, cause usually if you can

347
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: get a guy like twelve thirteen to one, if you

348
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: put one hundred bucks, you win twelve hundred dollars. Look

349
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: look at stock market, try to ten ext your money.

350
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: It's an incredible feeling. I've done it a couple of

351
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: times golf gambling. It's why you're hooked for life. But

352
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: six to one, it's like, God, I remember last year

353
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: I did it and it was ten to one, and

354
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: you knew after round one, You're like, I might as

355
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: well have just lit that money on fire. But those

356
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: guys heavy favorites, and deservingly so. To me, the biggest

357
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: lock of this tournament is Colin Morikawa top ten. You

358
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: can get that at plus one thirty, So you bet

359
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: one hundred bucks, you won one hundred and thirty bucks.

360
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: Well you win two hundred thirty bucks. If you bet

361
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars, you win twenty three hundred dollars. Colin

362
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: Morikawa has played this tournament four times in his career

363
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,479
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one to eighteen, first time you ever played it,

364
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: twenty two, fifth, twenty three tenth, last year, tied for third.

365
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: If he doesn't hit in the water on eleven, who knows,

366
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: maybe he pushes Scottie and finish his solo second with ease.

367
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: But this guy's played here four times. The only time

368
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: he's finished out of tenth he finished eighteenth, and he's

369
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: clearly just an unreal player. Now do I like him

370
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: to win? That's been kind of an issue for Colin

371
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: closing the deal. I don't see at plus one thirty

372
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: how he is in an auto ham or to top ten.

373
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: If you want to get aggressive top five, I wouldn't

374
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: argue with you, But I think when it comes to

375
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: not picking a winner, but picking a guy that you

376
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: feel the most confident coming into this tournament that is

377
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: gonna finish relatively high, I don't see how you could

378
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: bet against Colin Morrikowell because unlike Scotty, like his odds.

379
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: The top ten are not good, right, they're like minus

380
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: two hundred. You can get Colin more Kawa at plus

381
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: odds when he dominates in this tournament. It's my favorite

382
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: bet on the board. I think this guy listen, maybe

383
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: it's I've watched all of his youtubes and there's not

384
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: much to glean when he does the break fifty with

385
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: Romo or Stafford or Brady because they're playing the red

386
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: te's and it's just it's it's just a fun experience.

387
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: I do think when you watch Bryson on YouTube play

388
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: a course and just try to break the course record,

389
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: you realize he is really good. Obviously, I mean, he's

390
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: one of the best players in the world, but you're

391
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: watching him, you're like that baby draw the power drives.

392
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: He's a really good putter. He's good with his wedges.

393
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 1: The first couple of years playing this tournament were an

394
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: utter disaster, and it lasts before last year twenty two

395
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: and twenty three, he missed the cut. Now, unlike some

396
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: of these other majors that have one hundred and forty

397
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty people, this tournament typically has like

398
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: high eighties. I think this year it's like ninety six

399
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: or ninety seven, which is a high number for the Masters.

400
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: So when you bet a guy to top ten, they're

401
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: not having to beat one hundred and forty other people.

402
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: They honestly only have to beat if they're ninety five

403
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: players here, eighty five of them. So the numbers are

404
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: way different, and from a statistical standpoint, because this field

405
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: is much smaller and because past champions get to play

406
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: here for life. There are countless people in this tournament

407
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: over fifty that have absolutely no shot, a lot of

408
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: Freddy Couples, Bernard Longer, who's actually made the cut here

409
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: before it's his last tournament. Ever. You get guys like that,

410
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: I think Vj's is injured or sick or something. He's

411
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 1: not playing, But you get a lot of guys like

412
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: that that are never gonna win this tournament. So it's

413
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: it's very unique that way. This is it's actually, in

414
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: a weird way, harder to win, like the Bayhill it

415
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: gets one hundred and fifty people than this. Now, in

416
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: theory it's harder to win this because of the pressure

417
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: and everything, but just in terms of the number of

418
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: people you have to beat. So in twenty two and

419
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: twenty three, Bryson missed the cut and was kind of

420
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: embarrassing because he claimed that this was a par sixty

421
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: seven when it's actually not a par sixty seven, and

422
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: then he imploded. But last year when I think he's

423
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: really honed in on these like what I don't even

424
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: quite understand what three d irons are. But when you

425
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: watch the drive, they say I was in the car

426
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: today and Colin more Cowell pushed back against this. He's like,

427
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: they say, you need to draw to win. As a

428
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: right handed player, that's right to left, and as a

429
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: left handed player, Bubba Phil, those guys have had a

430
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: lot of success. They can play a cut well. Bryson

431
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: plays a hardcore drop, like that's his shot and that

432
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: works here. And I think for whatever reason, whether it's

433
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: people rooting for him, it's success on YouTube last year,

434
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: like he was legitimately in the mix to win this

435
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: thing until he imploded on whole thirteen, which all of

436
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: us would have as well as a weird shot he

437
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: chunked at water game over. He still finished T six,

438
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: So you can get Bryson plus one sixty two top ten.

439
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: I actually think if you like him this week, which

440
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: I understand, if you don't because if you tell me

441
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: that he finishes like fiftieth or fortieth or miss the cut,

442
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: it turns out last year was an aberration. This course

443
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,959
Speaker 1: always gonna be hard. If you tell me he's in

444
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: the mix, then I just go to Bryson before twenty

445
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: twenty four. This is a different guy. This version of

446
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: Bryson is going to be a factor here because we

447
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: all agree. If you follow the sport, you go. I'd

448
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: be stunned if Bryson isn't a major factor either in

449
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: the US Open or the PGA Championship. I think we

450
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: would have full agreement there. But this tournament can be

451
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: a somewhat of an outlier situation. I'm in the belief,

452
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: and again it could be YouTube influenced watching him play

453
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: a lot of golf, because I don't watch a second

454
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: of live even though he played really well. He was

455
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: leading at Durraw until the last days, which was I

456
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: guess crazy ass Wins didn't watch second of that tournament either.

457
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: But I'm in on Bryson and I think top ten. Honestly,

458
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: I think twenty to one for of all the best players,

459
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, Rory, Scottie, more Cowa, the Zander, the ROMs

460
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: like that group. He has the worst odds of the group,

461
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: and he easily could have won two Majors last year.

462
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: Is John ram a better player than Bryson? Now you

463
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: can say John Rom's more comfortable here. Not gonna argue there,

464
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: but you're either like to me, you got to pick

465
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: a lane, and I wouldn't blame you if you go.

466
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't do. Bryson at the Masters, totally understand I do.

467
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm in. I'm probably gonna sprinkle sprinkle a little. I mean,

468
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: you put twenty five dollars on twenty to one, you're

469
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: winning five hundred bucks. So it's just it's pretty good

470
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: odds for clearly one of the three or four best

471
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: players in the world. I think this guy's interesting because

472
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: you can get them plus one eighty two top ten.

473
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: I also think if you told me Justin Thomas wins

474
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: a Masters, maybe not in twenty five, but over the

475
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: course of his career, I think it's very believable. He

476
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: was playing shitty golf for a while. Now he's not.

477
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,959
Speaker 1: He's having an excellent season. This place has given him

478
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: some fits, and I hear that a lot like he

479
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: doesn't play well here, and then I looked in twenty

480
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: twenty weird year they played in the fall. Even if

481
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: you want to throw that away, he finished fourth the

482
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: year DJ one in normal years twenty one, T twenty one,

483
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: twenty two, T eight, the last couple of years cut cut,

484
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: So it's like he has had success here. The last

485
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: couple of years, I mean were disaster last year, I

486
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: think with that weather and he missed the cut, or

487
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: might have been two years ago, it was pretty bad.

488
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: He's missed the cut in pretty bad fashion in the

489
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: last couple of years where he was inside the cut line.

490
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: Definitely two years ago in bad weather, I think he

491
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: finished like four straight bogies or three straight bogies. But

492
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm a believer in JT. He's a guy that I've

493
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: won money on in the past. I don't know if

494
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: he wins this tournament, Like I wouldn't take him to win,

495
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: but I think top ten plus one eighty pretty interesting.

496
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of the Sunday when Victor Hovelin

497
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: took out Justin Thomas, and it was a throwback a

498
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: couple of years ago when Victor Hovelin won the FedEx,

499
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: won like forty five million dollars and would have been

500
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three and was kind of universally considered like

501
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: right now when the season ended, no one was playing.

502
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: He wasn't technically the number one player in the world,

503
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: but he was playing the best in the world, and

504
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: the momentum he had going into the Ryder Cup, it

505
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: was like, Victor Hovelin is an unstoppable force. This guy

506
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: is a lock to not just win a major, but

507
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: to win multiple majors. Then it got weird and now

508
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: it's back. And when he won a couple weeks ago,

509
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: he's like, you know, I still am kind of guessing,

510
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: but I'm starting to feel good. I was in the

511
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: car today and I listened to his press conference. Ironically

512
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: going to the PGA superstore to get new grips because

513
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: my grips were a little too big. I'd got new

514
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: grips three or four months ago, and then I was

515
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: like YouTube and some stuff. It's like, I think I

516
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: got the wrong sized grip. My hands aren't big enough

517
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: for these oversized grips, and I'm hitting it weird. But

518
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: that's a conversation for another day. Hovelin in this press

519
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: conference was like, he's pretty positive right now in his game,

520
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: not only did he find something a couple weeks ago.

521
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: He just sounds like I'm betting on the vibes because

522
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: he's been giving you vibes in early in the season

523
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: when like I don't know what's going on. I'm terrible,

524
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: Like this is not going well, and then he shoots eighty.

525
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: Maybe that win the confidence that builds again. We're all

526
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: human beings. When you're confident, you never think you're gonna

527
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: lose it. When you don't have it, you never think

528
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna come back. Now that he got it back,

529
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: who knows. Maybe he found something in his game. He's

530
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: had success here first time he ever played here twenty

531
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: twenty one, T. Twenty one. He also played here as

532
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: an amateur. The year Tiger won at nineteen was a

533
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: low amp. In twenty two T. Twenty seven, and in

534
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: twenty three when he was playing well finished top ten

535
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: T seven. Last year he was kind of in the wilderness.

536
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 1: He was cut. I'm a believer in Hovelin. You can

537
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: get him plus two sixty to top ten. Listen, like,

538
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge Like take big flyers at the Masters.

539
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: That's not usually what happens. Look at the last Champions

540
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: it's been Scotti's and ROMs and Dustin Johnson's and even Tiger,

541
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: So it's a lot of the elites. This guy is

542
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: an elite. He has just not been playing well. So

543
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: you can get him forty to one to win the Masters. Listen,

544
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: I think there's some value there. Him and Bryson are

545
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna be guys that I take to straight up win

546
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: at forty to one. That is really really tasty. Another guy,

547
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: it's weird, like most people not consuming lyft and his

548
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: when you look at his live results, they've been all

549
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: over the map. But here's the one thing you say

550
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: about Ozzi Aziazzi Campsmith when he goes to Augusta. He

551
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 1: plays extremely well. He has played this tournament five times,

552
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: T two, T ten, T three, T thirty four, T six.

553
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: This guy's game translates why second shot golf course, good

554
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 1: iron player, good long iron player, excellent short game. I

555
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: think the live guys beside the Phills and the Sergios

556
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: and the Patrick Reids, like the guys that have been

557
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: here a million times and have won here, you just

558
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: like you understand they can be a factor at any moment.

559
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: Cam Smith is one of those guys. I don't care

560
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: how bad or weird it looks on live. Look at

561
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: his success here. You can get a top ten at

562
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: plus three sixty's. That seems like some value there. And last,

563
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: but not least, on my betting card will be will Zalatrus.

564
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: He has a size I don't know, twenty five waist

565
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: and he hits it a mile and maybe because his

566
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: waist is so small that messed up his back. And

567
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: the only time that he's missed this tournament in the

568
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: last four years he obviously just didn't play. But when

569
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: he's played here second T six, T nine, So if

570
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: it wasn't for the back injury which forced him to

571
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: miss the tournament, he has played here three out of

572
00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: the last four years and he's finished in the top

573
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: ten every single time. I heard the guys in the

574
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: No Lane Up podcast mention that like a huge stat here.

575
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: You know a lot of courses these guys play, especially

576
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: on like the regular rotation in the PGA Tour. These

577
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: guys hit it so fucking far. I play with the

578
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: buddy at TPC Nate. His dad Bill also plays with us,

579
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: played the big leagues forever, and Bill can play. Nate

580
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: can play too. Nate can hit it as far as

581
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: anyone I've ever met. And when Nate connects with the drive,

582
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: it goes like three hundred and thirty three hundred and

583
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: forty yards. I mean he's flying it, flying it three fifteen,

584
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: three twenty, and I hit it decently far. I mean

585
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: every once in a while I can be kind of

586
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: close to him, but if I mishit it, he can

587
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: now drive me by sixty seventy yards. If I'm two seventy,

588
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: he can be like three forty. It's like, is he

589
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: in a different universe. Some of these shots that he's

590
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: hit at TPC where they have the waste management are

591
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: shots that I didn't even know existed beside when these

592
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: guys play. So when you hit it really far, most

593
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: of these tournaments, you're going driver wedge, driver nine iron,

594
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: what the masters. Some of these holes are driver six iron,

595
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: driver five iron and Zalatoris is an excellent long iron player.

596
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the highest rated sallion No

597
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: laying up said like that's one of his best hats.

598
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: And one thing the other thing that he is we

599
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: talk about like the intangible shit that you can't really quantify.

600
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,239
Speaker 1: This guy's good in big tournaments. It's weird. He's got

601
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: a little Kopka to him. He's like the light version

602
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: of Kopka because he hasn't won a major. But like

603
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: sometimes he'll play in random PGA events, like why isn't

604
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: this guy one of the best players, and he's just

605
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: kind of whatever, finished seventeenth or twenty fourth, and then

606
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: he goes to a major and he's third. It's like

607
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: certain guys, It's like this in all sports. We all

608
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: watch basketball, baseball, football, hockey, you name it. There's certain

609
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: people that are just bright light skis. And I feel

610
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: like Xalatoris is. You can get Zaladorus to top ten

611
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: at three twenty a plus three twenty so one hundred dollars,

612
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: you win four hundred and twenty bucks. I don't know, man,

613
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: I just I don't see how you don't have any

614
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: exposure on him. I have a hard time of knowing

615
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: what to do with like John Rahm, Koepka, Xander, all

616
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 1: those guys can win it. It wouldn't shock me if

617
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: any get tut tee fives or top tens. I'm just

618
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: not messing with him. Xander the Ribs Brooks a little

619
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: out of sight, out of mind, and honestly, I don't

620
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: know what to make it wrong. I don't If you

621
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: told me that he's tied for the league going in

622
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: a Sunday, I'd believe you. If he told me he's

623
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: fortieth going in a Sunday, I'd believe you. So that's

624
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: kind of a crew. I don't really know what to do.

625
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: And then there's just a lot of guys like I

626
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: don't really mess with Speth. I know he has a

627
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: lot of success here. I just don't really do it.

628
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: Maybe it's too much exposure to him in normal tournaments

629
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: Fleetwood's and other guy it's like, yeah, he could do well.

630
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: I don't really mess with Fleetwood anymore. Kicking Bradley is

631
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: one guy. It's like he's had success here recently. I

632
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: think a bunch of top twenty fives. He's a guy

633
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: that's burned me in the past. So if you want

634
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: a little exposure to him, last, but not least, before

635
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: we get into the mailbag, there's a lot of talk.

636
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,719
Speaker 1: You know, Patrick Reid Sergio like those guys could easily

637
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: be factors this week because he's fifty four years old.

638
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: That Phil's got no shot. Phil a couple of years

639
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: ago finished top two. He has played in the Masters

640
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: basically every year except once since nineteen ninety five. That's

641
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: thirty years. Over half that time, he has finished in

642
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: the top ten. He has sixteen top tens, he has

643
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: twelve top fives, and obviously he has three wins. Just

644
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago he finished second. Now, I

645
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: think the thing that makes this tournament so cool is

646
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: you can be an older guy in compete. We just

647
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: saw Tiger a couple of years ago win the thing

648
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: because mentally understanding where you can miss, where you can't,

649
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: the comfortability around the greens here, and just the calmness

650
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: you have of playing this tournament. I mean, Phil has

651
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: played this tournament every year since nineteen ninety five, and

652
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: I think he's playing pretty well now. And he's another

653
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: guy like I don't take much away when I watch

654
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: him on YouTube, Like he's legitimately played well in these

655
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: live events against like whether we think they matter or

656
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: they don't. At the end of the day, Phil is

657
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: playing against Brooks Wrong, Bryson, cam Smith, Like those are

658
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: the guys he's trying to beat, and he's beat him

659
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: a couple times. Last week he was right there with

660
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: Bryson finished t six. Bryson was fifth a couple weeks ago.

661
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: I think Phil finished third. He is playing really well.

662
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 1: Now how that translates to the Masters or like PGA

663
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: Tour tournaments, I'd have no clue. But in terms of Augusta,

664
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: these four days, you can get some crazy odds. Now,

665
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: I think it would be pretty When he won at Kiowa,

666
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: it's one of the greatest out of nowhere victories in

667
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: the history of sports. But I don't think he can win.

668
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: But he is one hundred and ten to one. I

669
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: don't think if you told me Phil finishes fifth or seventh,

670
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: like top twenty, I think it's a no brainer bet.

671
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: But top ten you can get about eight to one.

672
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: I might dabble a little bit. Listen, Sergio Patrick Reid, like,

673
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: there are some other guys that I wouldn't blame you

674
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: at all if you had exposure to I think Phil

675
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: when it comes to long shots, and plus he's older

676
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: a guy that would not stun me at all. If

677
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: it's like god, Phil's three back on Saturday, I definitely

678
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: think it's possibility. Let's do some questions. I'm in a

679
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: gambling pool. This is at Golo Pod firing those dms.

680
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: Get your questions answering the show. I'm in a gambling

681
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: pool with some buddies for the Masters, and I need

682
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: some help. If you had to pick the four golfers

683
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: with the best chance to win, in no order, not

684
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: factoring in gambling odds, who would they be for scoring purposes?

685
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: So you know, Golfer number one has his score multiplied

686
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 1: by four, Golfer number two score multiplied by three, Golfer

687
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: three by three, Golfer four is scratch. Scotty Morikawa is

688
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: kind of hard. You might as well just throw the

689
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: top odds guys, rom and maybe a flyer like Xalatorus.

690
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: I'm never great at those games. I just gamble. I can't.

691
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: I'm not great at like pools and stuff. I never

692
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 1: win those, so I don't even quite understand the concept.

693
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I kind of do you laid it out?

694
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: But Christian, do you think we will ever see a

695
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: player win double digit majors again? When Rory went four early,

696
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: he looked like the next golfer that was gonna do it.

697
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: History would suggest eventually someone will do it. But wanted

698
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: your opinion on if you think there's a chance with

699
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: the depth of field in major golf. I don't think

700
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: there's that many guys that have ten plus majors. There

701
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: are three, there's Jack Nicholas and Tiger Woods and Walter

702
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: Hagen which a little before our time. The chances of

703
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: someone winning double digit majors again feels zero, Like I

704
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna happen. Ben Hogan and Gary Player

705
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: who I would say Ben Hogan is right there with

706
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: like Bobby Jones as the two most like Babe Ruthian

707
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: figures didn't win ten, Watson one eight. Then there's all

708
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: these guys like Sam Snead, Arnold, Palmer, Lee Trevino or

709
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: like seven and six. Phil is at five? H is

710
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: Phil at five? Now Phil is a six never won

711
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: the US Open, But don't I don't think so. Like

712
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: if Rory has an incredible career moving forward, he could

713
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: win two more and that would put him at six.

714
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: You know, Kepka has what four or Kepka has five

715
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: because he has two PGAs, two US Opens and then

716
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: he won what did he win the PGA a couple

717
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: of years ago? Even Scotty, he's at two. He'd have

718
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: to win, like he could win five more and he'd

719
00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: have seven Bryce the same thing. I think like Evan

720
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 1: a Raid is the new fifteen. So I would say no,

721
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: just too hard A big fan. Just listen to Rory's

722
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: pre Master interview and he talked about dealing with disappointment.

723
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,479
Speaker 1: Is it just mirror? Does Rory sound like the guy

724
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: that someone like Aaron Rodgers is trying to be but

725
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: it's actually authentic and doesn't seem like he has some

726
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: ulterior motive or am I missing something? Yeah, I'm kind

727
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: of done psychoanalyzing Aaron. I just I'm kind of over

728
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, you know, like I'm into you when you're

729
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: an important player, but like you're the shtick. I just

730
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: don't care. He doesn't when he signs with Pittsburgh, I'll

731
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: have a reaction and it'll be like, yeah, I don't

732
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: think it changes that much. I don't think it matters.

733
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: It's like I saw Russell Westbrook is like refusing to

734
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: talk to the media. Adam Silver had to call and

735
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: then he gave like it's like, Russell, you've been in

736
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: league fifteen years, He's act like a pro. It's like, no,

737
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: he can't. It's like I've just I've been over Russell

738
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,720
Speaker 1: Westbrook for a decade. Welcome to the party, everyone that's joined.

739
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: I think I just don't really care about Aaron Rodgers

740
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: at this point. Just it just doesn't matter where Rory

741
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: still is a great player, you know, Aaron no longer

742
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: is in the moment you're not a great player. Like

743
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 1: we kind of move on and the end of the day,

744
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers won one super Bowl. I know he's got

745
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: a bunch of MVPs, but it's like one to one

746
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl. What the hell's I mean? Him and Stafford.

747
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: So he's got some more MVPs, cool individual award and

748
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: a team sport. And I've liked Aaron Rodgers as a player,

749
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: but I just I'm not as caught up with like

750
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 1: the last couple of years of Aaron. It just doesn't

751
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: do much. I'm not like emotionally moved like some My

752
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,760
Speaker 1: favorite podcaster talked, Okay, what are your thoughts on Bobby

753
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: McIntyre Top twenty. He's plus one fifty, he has solid

754
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: his last couple of times in AUGUSTA isn't good for

755
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: him and seems like the game fits the course. Also

756
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: wrong to have the best score of all the Spanish

757
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: golfers in the tourney minus one twenty five. His only

758
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: competition is Sergio. Feels that's a lock. I kind of

759
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: like Sergio more than Ram this tournament. I have a

760
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: hard time doing minus odds on something like that when

761
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: it's like, Sergio's also won this tournament before, So if

762
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: Sergio beat Ram, it's not that shocking. And you gotta

763
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 1: bet one hundred and twenty five dollars to win one hundred,

764
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: I don't really like that. Listen. Part of what makes

765
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: golf gambling fun is you can take guys that you

766
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: like and take some top twenty flyers, right Like some

767
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: people a lot of people are gonna bet Sergio and

768
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,439
Speaker 1: Patrick Reid to top twenty. I would say the same

769
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: thing about Xalatorus, like I and Cam Smith, like I

770
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: take top ten, top twenty, but it's like those are gout.

771
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 1: They could finish fortieth. The good thing with top twenties

772
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: is like just it gives you a big room for

773
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: AerR whereas someone that's bet a lot of guys to

774
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: win over the years, it's like that sucks when you're

775
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: out of it on Thursday or Friday. But top tens

776
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: with good players, even if the guy's hovering around. It

777
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: makes a pretty excit sweat on Sunday, dming you from

778
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 1: my girlfriend's Instagram. I'm a huge follower and listener since

779
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: about twenty nineteen. My question is I will be traveling

780
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: to Arizona from Kansas Easter weekend for a history conference.

781
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: I wanted to see if you'd be willing to play

782
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: around of golf good Friday. I'm going home for We're

783
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: going to Napa for a couple of days and dinner

784
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: with our families. But I probably I would have if

785
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: I was around, I'd be willing to make commute. Do

786
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: you think Brooks kept gay is a long shot to

787
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 1: win the Masters? I, like I said, I don't really

788
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: know what to makeup Brooks. I have no feel. Tell

789
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: me he wins, you tell me makes a cut. That's

790
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: the thing with the live guys, You're just guys that

791
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: are just a little off the radar on Live. Do

792
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: you know how payouts work in the PGA? Assuming you

793
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: make the cut? Does the money you win in the

794
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: tournament just show up in your account on Monday? Are

795
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: the payments split up? And does a player get taxed

796
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: in their cash based in the state the tournament was in.

797
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: I think I've heard Kissner say this before. It's called

798
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: wad Wednesday, so you get the direct deposit on Wednesday.

799
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: So if you win the tournament or you just like

800
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: you said, make the cut, you win twenty grand, one

801
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: hundred grand, five hundred grand Brian Harmon one point seven

802
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: million that comes on Wednesday. Now, what I don't know

803
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: is like Rory when he won the Players he won

804
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: four point five million, is that a ten ninety nine? Like,

805
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: do you get the four point five million or do

806
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: they tax it before they give it to you. I

807
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: don't know. My guess would be you get the four

808
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: point five and then it's on you, through your corporation

809
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: or whatever, to pay the taxes. But from my knowledge

810
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: it's on Wednesday, and yeah, they are taxed. So obviously

811
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: winning an elevated event at in Florida or Texas is

812
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: better than at Pebble or Riviera. Right, Financially, you have

813
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: to pay the in come tax like any human that

814
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: does business that way in the state in which you played.

815
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: So I would imagine taxes and then it's on the

816
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: player to pay their caddy, which I would guess they

817
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: get ten percent on the gross amount, which would be

818
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: whatever you see like on ESPN dot com, I won

819
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars or seven hundred and fifty thousand

820
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: dollars I would owe my caddie, assuming we have a

821
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: ten percent split, seventy five thousand dollars, and then I'm

822
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: sure he's paid ten ninety nine and maybe some of

823
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: these guys with the better players, you're like a salaried employee,

824
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: and then it's based on bonuses. But there are probably

825
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 1: a lot of ways to do it differently. I mean,

826
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: Maria showed a house the other day in a really

827
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 1: nice area of town that was several millions of dollars.

828
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: I think it was like, I don't know, four or

829
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: five and a couple of the people looking at the

830
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 1: home or caddies wife's and she she doesn't know golf,

831
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: and she couldn't really like she tried to puzzle it

832
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: together who the guys were. I kind of figure out,

833
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,479
Speaker 1: at least in the vicinity, who the caddies wives were

834
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,720
Speaker 1: and who they caddied for. But when caddies are buying

835
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: homes three four million dollars, he shows you how much

836
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: money the all these guys are making. Now at the

837
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 1: one guy that I think it is is caddying for

838
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:25,240
Speaker 1: a guy that's I would imagine a top twenty money

839
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: maker on PGA tour. But still, like I mean, they

840
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 1: are living really, really well. Now I have to how

841
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: it all works in terms of the caddy payment. Like

842
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: Jordan's spiece caddy is he just gets ten percent, like

843
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: I would guess he's on. I pay you five hundred

844
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and then if we do enough throughout the

845
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: course of the year, I will pay you more. Something

846
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,720
Speaker 1: like that. Like Tiger Woods wasn't paying Stevie Willing ten percent.

847
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 1: I think he was just it probably just boos everybody.

848
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: I'll pay you a million dollars you'd be my caddy,

849
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: and then based on successes. You know, that's the minimum

850
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: you can make, and then obviously you can make more.

851
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: And that way you're not stressing. You can just focus

852
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: on me. I don't know if Tiger was cheap, but

853
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 1: I think these guys are making a lot, all the

854
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: top caddies. My girlfriend's parents are from Augusta and have

855
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: yearly Master's tickets. I was offered the chance to go

856
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: on Friday. I can't remember if you have been or not,

857
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: but do you have a favorite part of the course. Also,

858
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: if you had to pick what golfer do you recommend following,

859
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: I like, I've never been, so if you've never been,

860
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: like me, I would walk around the entire course. I mean,

861
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: I would not discriminate against holes. I would probably start

862
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: at one and just work my way and just venture. Now.

863
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: I think a huge part of the Masters is you

864
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: set your seat and someone can sit in it, but

865
00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: you can always come back. I would probably just walk, eat, drink.

866
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: Depends how long you were going there for too. If

867
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: you get multiple days, that would impact my decision. But

868
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: I would walk all around the course. I would say,

869
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: you know, the Marquee groups, the Scotties, the ROMs, the Rory's,

870
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: the Kepkas. I haven't even seen the pairings, but I

871
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: think you're better off finding a guy. What I would

872
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: probably do is someone I bet on that was in

873
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: a group that I could follow, so like so Bryson

874
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: Hudeki and Tommy Fleetwood. I mean, some of these groups

875
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: will just be out Victor Hovland, Xander Adam Scott, Rory Ludwig.

876
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: That there are gonna be some groups that are just

877
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: tough to follow because of the crowds. But I think

878
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: A huge part of the Masters too, is that a

879
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: lot of people sit like Keegan Bradley, Jason Day, Phil Mickelson.

880
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: That'd be pretty sick group to follow. Looking for my

881
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: guy Willie z Here's Dalataurus so Zala Taurus is with

882
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: Bernhard Longer in an amateur Noah Kent, that'd be a

883
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: pretty sweet group to follow. You just it's gonna be

884
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: impossible to follow the big dogs, and there aren't that

885
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: many people on the course because the tournament's kind of smaller.

886
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: So basically they tee off at seven forty in the

887
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: morning Pacific Standard or Eastern time, and then they go

888
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: to about one I typically shoot in the high nineties,

889
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: and I have been thinking about a new set of

890
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: irons right now. I'm using the Mizunos. Do you think

891
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: it's worth the extra cost to get custom fitted or

892
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: should I just roll with a good set I think

893
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: you can get. You can go to a place. I

894
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: did this to Club Champion because I got my clubs fitted,

895
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 1: or I just bought my clubs off Taylor Made years

896
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: ago because some dude on Instagram that I followed work

897
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: to Taylor Made and he gave me a fifty percent

898
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,919
Speaker 1: discount code, so it's like, you know, I can get

899
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars for eighteen hundred dollars set or whatever

900
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: it was. It was really cheap. It might have been

901
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: sixty percent, but they were just I didn't get them

902
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: custom fitted, and then I went to a place and

903
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: they kind of bent them for my lie angle and

904
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: cut an inch off for me. So I think you

905
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: can manipulate it that way. I would not worry as

906
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: much if you're shooting like ninety eight on stuff like that,

907
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,280
Speaker 1: I would wait till you get breaking ninety to spend

908
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,439
Speaker 1: a lot of money because irons and these clubs aren't cheap,

909
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 1: so I would just try to go and see if

910
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: they could just bend them. Assuming your lie angles off

911
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: at all, and I think Club Champions where I did it,

912
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: if memory serves me correct, that would probably be my recommendation.

913
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 1: Question feel free to answer in the pod twenty seven.

914
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: Been an athlete my whole life, hitting a marathon here

915
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: in June. Yeah, then looking to pivot into golf. I've

916
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,280
Speaker 1: a set of clubs, and I've been onto the range

917
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: twenty times in the last two years, so not much

918
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: at all. I would say I have an addictive personality,

919
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: and when I get into something, I usually go all in.

920
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: I would say typically marathon people do. Apologies for the

921
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 1: long background here, and my question is, if you or

922
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: me basically starting close to scratch, how would you go

923
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: about maximizing your game? YouTube golf videos, lessons, getting out

924
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: and playing, hitting the range with shit form. I would

925
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: hit the range several times and like, seriously, kind of

926
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: gauge where you're at, and then maybe just play around

927
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 1: at a cheap course. So do the cheapest course possible,

928
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: try to play eighteen holes with your budies and kind

929
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: of just maybe a couple times, especially if you can play,

930
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: you know, as it gets a little warmer, I don't know,

931
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: thirty forty fifty bucks, just a shitty course, and just

932
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 1: kind of see like this is I shot one hundred

933
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: and ten and one hundred and five, or maybe I

934
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: shot ninety eight and a hundred and kind of gauge

935
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: where you're at. And then I would use YouTube. Whatever

936
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 1: you suck at, like if you can't chip or you're

937
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: slicing it a lot, type it into YouTube. It's basically

938
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: the number two search engine in America behind Google, and

939
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: see if you can get a couple tips that way

940
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: before you do lessons. So I would utilize the range

941
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: a cheap course. No point in spending a lot of

942
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,439
Speaker 1: money when you don't even know how good or bad

943
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: you are. Do that a couple times, and then you

944
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: use YouTube and then go back to the range and

945
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: see if you can fix some stuff, and then you

946
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 1: know that's probably six months later. Try to gather where

947
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: you're at. But I would just figure it out on

948
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 1: your own early on, because regardless even if you go

949
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: to a lesson, like, they're going to be basic swing

950
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: mechanics that are just you and your body. Okay, couple more.

951
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: Did anyone else kind of feel like when Ludwig won

952
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: the Genesis he was about to start rattling them off.

953
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: I know we haven't gotten a major yet, so I

954
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 1: still expect him to have a great year, but he

955
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,959
Speaker 1: seemed poised for at least a better finish in Arnold

956
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: Palmer and the players, and now he has to be

957
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: in the conversation for the Masters based on a showing

958
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: last year, and I haven't heard anything of it. Golf's

959
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:05,720
Speaker 1: weird that way, man. It's just one of those activities, games,

960
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: sports where you know it's pretty rare that Like if

961
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 1: Steph Curry scoring thirty thirty thirty maybe has one bad game.

962
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: I think he just did. He scored three points, then

963
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: he probably gets back on the horse twenty eight, twenty

964
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 1: five thirty. In golf, you can win and then you

965
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 1: can miss like three straight cuts or be zero factor.

966
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: It's it's very It's hard to predict, it really is.

967
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: So I listen the moment he won. I put money

968
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: on him to win the Players and to win the Masters.

969
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: He was a guy. If I could get my five

970
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: hundred dollars back on him at seventeen to one or

971
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 1: eighteen to one or whatever I got him at after

972
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: he won the Genesis to win the Masters, I would

973
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: not have put it on him. I would have put

974
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: it on someone else. But that's not the way it works.

975
00:51:56,760 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: So I hope he wins. I do not expect it.

976
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: I know he had a really good outing. I would

977
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: be I would say a little surprised. If you tell

978
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 1: me Ludwig Is has a chance to win come Sunday

979
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: like he did last year. I'm not expecting that. I'm

980
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: all for it, but I would I struggle to like

981
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: have much anticipation positively for Ludwig going into this tournament.

982
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: Maybe he's just aw. I don't know what happened. I mean,

983
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: last year was kind of understandable he was hurt. Right

984
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: now it's like, well, he just won. He looked good.

985
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: What's going on? Could you win the Masters? You get

986
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: this question a lot. If you started, if everyone started

987
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,479
Speaker 1: from the tea box, and you got to start every

988
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: hole on the green but the furthest point from the

989
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: cup on the green, so essentially put your way to

990
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 1: a green jacket. I asked this last year, and my

991
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: initial reaction was I could probably do that. I'm a

992
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 1: decent putter, But then watching the tournament, I don't know

993
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 1: if I'd even place in the top twenty, I'd have

994
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: no shot. I shot eighty four last week, and I

995
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 1: think I had four or five three putts, and that

996
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 1: was on a course I don't know. It was actually

997
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: running pretty good, probably ten and they're slope at TPC.

998
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's the Masters, but it's definitely you

999
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: don't have many flat putts, and I'm terrible. I'm not

1000
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: good on slope greens, and those are probably some of

1001
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: the slopier greens in the world that are running like concrete.

1002
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: I think I would have I would struggle to get pars.

1003
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: I really would. No, I could not win because I

1004
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: would have I would put some off the green. That's

1005
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 1: the other thing. If you put one off the green,

1006
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: can you use like a sandwich if I roll the

1007
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 1: way down or do I have to put it back up.

1008
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 1: I do not think most people could shoot even par

1009
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: if I gave them Master's conditions on the green and

1010
00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 1: put them for this spot away from the hole. I

1011
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,959
Speaker 1: think the majority of people would four and five jack

1012
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: all the time anytime you two putted, So like you know,

1013
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: on a par three there's four of those, that's a

1014
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,840
Speaker 1: par uh par four's that would be a birdie. I

1015
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,879
Speaker 1: think it would happen very rare. Now, maybe you could

1016
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:21,479
Speaker 1: three putts some par fives and get some birdies that way,

1017
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 1: but all the players birdie the par fives anyway, Like

1018
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:29,760
Speaker 1: that's the par fives at AUGUSTA to eight thirteen and fifteen,

1019
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: those guys annihilate. What gets them is the par threes.

1020
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:35,760
Speaker 1: So it's like you better part of the par threes

1021
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: because if you three putt those like you're in trouble.

1022
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: Like birding a par five doesn't do much for you.

1023
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: So I think absolutely no chance. None could. And I'm

1024
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,840
Speaker 1: like a four or five handicap. I think the overwhelming

1025
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:56,919
Speaker 1: majority of golfers and that includes good ones unless you're

1026
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,320
Speaker 1: just a great putter. It's one thing to be like

1027
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 1: I'm a good putt and I'm an average golfer. Like

1028
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: you've got to be a good golfer and a good

1029
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 1: putter to even have a shot because most of us,

1030
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: I've never played greens that were super super fast a

1031
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: couple of times in Monterey because it gets like rock hard.

1032
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: I I don't think most people would have any shot

1033
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: to stop the ball. You'd be tapping it and then

1034
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 1: you would like hit it not far enough, and then

1035
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: you'd run it by. I think there would be times

1036
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: where you'd like five six putt, and if it was

1037
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: a part four, all of a sudden you get like

1038
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: a double bogie. So the answer, without hesitation is no.

1039
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:39,760
Speaker 1: The volume
