I just want my bad shots to be 31 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: less bad. So I went to like a my driver's tip, 32 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: like I want to say, almost two it's either an 33 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: inch and a half or two inches the inch and 34 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: a half. It's something. It's crazy bordy, like it has 35 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: no kick in it. And I played a shorter shaft 36 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: for a while too. I just switched back to a 37 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: forty five inch but it's just basically an anti left 38 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: shaft for me, and it does not like, honestly, I 39 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: don't spin it very much. I'm definitely bottom fifteen on 40 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: tour and spin. Yeah, but that's just my mechanism not 41 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: hitting it left. And we're just trying just because my 42 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: swing and my body's gotten a little bit better. We're 43 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: trying to like see if I can get into a 44 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: more normal setup and see if like even my bad 45 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: ones are less bad, but also my good ones are 46 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: actually going to be really good. 47 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 4: So you're good ones. Are you trying to hit it 48 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 4: like dead straight or little cut? 49 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: Definitely cutting? Yeah, I used to play a big cut, 50 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: but now it's say my stop cut is like between 51 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: it's still pretty big ten and ten to fifteen yards. 52 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: It's definitely falling pretty tilts, falling right pretty aggressively. But 53 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: my swing is like, just from being in better shape, 54 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: my swing's gotten better and tighter. So now my start 55 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: lines are a little bit tighter and sometimes I'm missing 56 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: it a little left. Yeah, not curby as much because 57 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: of that. So that's why we're trying. 58 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: What are you What are you doing in terms of fitness? 59 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 3: I mean, what have you changed? Has it been plast 60 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 3: six months last year? 61 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: What have you done in that world? I'd say it's 62 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: my last four years. Honestly, I didn't work out one 63 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: time in my life till college. I got to college 64 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I can't even do these basic I can't. 65 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: I couldn't do a dead bug. I couldn't. I was 66 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 1: benching twenty five pound dumbells in each hand. 67 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: It was embarrassing, like when he first came the Lakers, 68 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: just straight off picture worse but worse. 69 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: I've literally never worked out, And then in college I 70 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: realized the importance. I got injured a decent amount of college, 71 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: which was a bummer, but I realized, like, I can 72 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: prevent this by just get in the gym. And I honestly, 73 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: I don't lift very much at all. But I've been 74 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: working with the same trainer even actually even in college 75 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: but after college, and he does a great job kind 76 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: of dialing me in and my flexibility has gotten better. 77 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: It's just honestly all on where I was injury prevention 78 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: and knock on whatever, knock on wood. I haven't been 79 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: injured since since I've turned pro. 80 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: You probably know, say, but you've played more events in 81 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,399 Speaker 2: the last twelve months than anything tour. Yeah, I mean, 82 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: I think that's a good takeaway from Yeah, bitiness standpoint 83 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: for the listeners, like, for sure, here's straight from you. 84 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 4: You're just trying not to get injured. 85 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, I'm just trying not to get injured. Yeah, 86 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: I played thirty two last year and I was really 87 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: happy with how my body held up. There's definitely too much, 88 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: definitely too much. That'll that'll be the most, That'll be 89 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: the max you play in your career. I feel like 90 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: I've taken so many weeks off this year and I'm 91 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: still gonna play twenty seven or twenty eight, which was 92 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: a lot, but uh yeah, it's just a testament to 93 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: my trainer and then the work I've been putting in. 94 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: I've just been more diligent about it. Yeah, there's just 95 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: times where like in the even my first year as 96 00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: a pro, I was I was getting better at it, 97 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,119 Speaker 1: but I just wasn't on top of it, so I'd 98 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: go on the road for two weeks and lose all 99 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: my progress. But now I feel like I'm stacking my 100 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: progress and I've just gotten better and better at it. 101 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: It's huge help. I haven't even tried to gain distance 102 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: or any luckily, Like I just have long levers and 103 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: hit it. I'd say averagely far. But I've never even 104 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: worked on speed stuff, and I've gained four or five 105 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: miles per ball speed just not even not working any speed. 106 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: And we'll see if I do. Yeah, you know what 107 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: I got to cover you? 108 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 3: I remember I think it was the Oakland Hills, USAM 109 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 3: and oh yeah, it was like maybe twenty sixteen, Yeah, 110 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 3: you were sixteen. I mean it must have been sixteen 111 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 3: or seventeen years old and you made a run. Yeah, 112 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 3: and it was a lot of fun to cover you. 113 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 3: And then obviously to see this progression into pro golf 114 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 3: and now on the PGA Tour. Obviously, the popularity of 115 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 3: what happened at Phoenix last year and then Netflix. What 116 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 3: is this year over the last twelve months been like 117 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 3: for you to go from a very good player obviously, 118 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 3: and then a professional golfer it's and now being somebody 119 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 3: that people yell out I want to autograph from. 120 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: It's pretty nuts. I never saw myself as a very 121 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: good golfer even through college. I know that twenty sixteen 122 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: am really gave me a lot of confidence and helped 123 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: me come into my own and I had a couple 124 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: of nice years in college after that, But even then 125 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't know if I was good 126 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: enough to I always thought I could make the tour, 127 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: but I was just even in the end of college 128 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: where I was like, am I gonna be any good? 129 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: And last year or last year helped a lot. I 130 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: just it's just been so fun, like the journey to 131 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: get better is fun. I'm not even worried about the results, 132 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: and I think that's been key for me. I have 133 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: very little expectations for myself and I'm just like, dude, 134 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: I'm living my dream like I'm just gonna go out there, 135 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: and I feel like I'd be doing myself and my 136 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: team and my family and friends a disservice if I'm 137 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: not giving it my all to get as good as 138 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: I am, because I'm given this opportunity now. So that 139 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: part's been really really cool and definitely humbling to see 140 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: all the fans that I've gotten over the last year, 141 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: and at this point, I feel like I'm doing it 142 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: a lot for them to I mean, it comes from myself, 143 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: but I feel like I want to like play well 144 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: for them too, and that that's kind of helped too. 145 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: But it's been really really cool. I will say it's 146 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: been overwhelming sometimes because I'm an introvert at art and 147 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: I love having my own space and I feel like 148 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: I play a lot of golf from around a lot 149 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: of people. Yeah, but no, I think that's a good 150 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: problem to have and I'm I'm definitely getting more used 151 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: to it. And I used to be a horrible, horrible speaker. 152 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: I'm still not great at it. I'm getting better, but 153 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: but no, I mean, life's been I cannot complain it all. 154 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: It's been an awesome ride. 155 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 4: So he does. 156 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,119 Speaker 2: Man, that's so refreshing, is that? I mean, you want 157 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 2: three Junior Worlds? 158 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: Yeah? 159 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, really tiger number of Junior Worlds and you're still 160 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 2: don't have that. On the confidence meet, I'm picturing this 161 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 2: confidence meter. Yeah, and he was even going through college, 162 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: it wasn't that well. 163 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: You know what happened is I was really really good 164 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: when I was young, like young young. I won my 165 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: Junior World six, eight and ten. I was just going 166 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: off of like talent. I was just bigger than other 167 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: kids when I was young, so it was just getting 168 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: it further. And I wasn't even that skilled, I felt like. 169 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: And then once started, once people started really practicing and 170 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: getting real at their craft in middle school in early 171 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: high school, that's when I went into a huge slump 172 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: hit my growth spurt. I was not a good recruit 173 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: and even in high school, and I didn't play any 174 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: of the inmates, like I never played any invitationals, and 175 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: I was lucky that even I I was looking at 176 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: some bigger schools but I wouldn't. I was gonna be 177 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: essentially a walk on. So Pepperdine was kind of a 178 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: blessing for me that I knew I was gonna play 179 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: right away. So definitely college was a big kind of 180 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: step in the right direction. That's why I just went 181 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: through a pretty big slump, I feel like, and well, 182 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: for me, I felt like it was a slump. I 183 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: still had good tournaments and one a little bit, but 184 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: I just didn't know if it was next level potential. 185 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: Did you think that gives you that extra motivation? Made 186 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: a room around here on the tour as you're you're 187 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: out here practicing. 188 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: A lot at least, you know, Yeah, I. 189 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 3: I just I just love it, you know, I'm I. 190 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 3: I truly love love the game. You love the practice, 191 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 3: You love the grind, which everything out of it. 192 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 4: I don't. 193 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: I love the grind. I really do love the grind. 194 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: There's obviously days where're like, god, I don't want to 195 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: do this, or like travel day, or you know, you know, 196 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: to work on something that week on the range, and 197 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: I don't. Personally, I don't love just beating balls. I 198 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: love chipping now. It's my favorite part of my game. 199 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: I can sit on chip. I can sit on these 200 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: chipping greens for legit ten hours. I can sit all 201 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: day if you leave me on supervised. But I just 202 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: love it. I love playing just every part of it. Again, 203 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: I think it goes back to the fact that I 204 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: have this chance to do it, so it's like, why 205 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: not give it my all? Within reason? And I'm getting 206 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: better at leaving the I've spent Last year, I spent 207 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: all day every day at the golf course, and this 208 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: year I'm doing a good job breaking it down where 209 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: I only spend like Tomorrow, Wednesdays, I've been my chill 210 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: days where I'm only on the course. Luckily, I've got 211 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: a lot of morning prim times I'll leave the course 212 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 1: by one or two pm. Yeah, but a day like today, 213 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: I'm usually I'm just here all day. I'll sleep in 214 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: a little ground on a Tuesday. Yeah yeah, I mean, 215 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: I don't even know what's grinding though, because I sleep 216 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: in I Like today, I got up at like seven 217 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: forty five eight meandered over here, had breakfast, got to 218 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: the range like nine. Didn't feel like I was stressing, 219 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: didn't feel like I obviously I had stuff that I 220 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: wanted to get done In practice, and stuff that I 221 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: wanted to get done on the course, but I spent 222 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: six hours out there and it just went like that. 223 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: So I don't know, It's just it's it's really nice 224 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: to have all these every week. Have insane practice facilities too, 225 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: where you just kind of get lost. It's like, well, 226 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: it putting means perfect, I might as well go sit 227 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: there and putt for a while. So but I'm learning 228 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: the balance of overdoing it and still getting my work done. 229 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 2: So you love chipping. Tell us about your your WEDB 230 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: set up. You know we've always you're playing fifty eighth 231 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 2: grade right now? Yeah, did you grow up chipp in 232 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 2: the fifty eight ever reached sixty to fifty six? 233 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 4: Yeah? 234 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: So I grew up chipping with only a fifty six. 235 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: And there's no really rhyme or reason for that. I 236 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: think just when I started playing golf, I just picked 237 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: up a fifty six and didn't feel like I needed 238 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: a law bludge. 239 00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 4: Yeah. 240 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: I thought that was a law blunch when I was young. 241 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: I didn't know any better. But I think I graduated 242 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: to a fifty eighth degree pretty late in high school. Yeah, 243 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: and I've tried a sixty degree one time and I 244 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: just hated it, like I've just been so used to 245 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: my whole life, fifty six fifty eight. I just liked 246 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: seeing chip shots come out, come out in a certain window. 247 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: And I hit full shots, well full shots with my 248 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: fifty eight degree too, you know, ninety percent shots for 249 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: I feel like with a sixty it's almost too much off. 250 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: But it's definitely something I think I'm going to invest 251 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: you in the future because the greens are so firm 252 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: and fast every week, and I feel like golf course 253 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: are getting tighter and tighter with the grasses, so you 254 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: need a little more nip. But yeah, I've always been 255 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: a fifty eight, so I go fifty eight, fifty four, fifty, 256 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: and then I've kind of bounced between a forty seven 257 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: or forty six degree and then a blueprint pitching ledge. 258 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: I've been kind of the blueprint pitching ledge for a wow. 259 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 3: So a really hard hitting question here, how many I 260 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 3: have the over UNDERD three and a half. How many 261 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 3: iterations of facial hair do you feel like you've had 262 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 3: on tour? Yeah, I mean because the stand you had 263 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 3: the stash for a bit and it was Hall of Famer, 264 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 3: thank you. 265 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: I think four because when I first got on tour, 266 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: I had like the high. I didn't really shave it 267 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: down very or trim it down very much. I had 268 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: like the high, unkempt, just caveman beard, and then I 269 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: went clean shaven for a while. I still randomly, you know, 270 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: one one or two weeks randomly you need new car 271 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: or you need new uh what's the word. You just 272 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: need good vibe, you need new vibes. With the beard. 273 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: You need to get rid of the old vibe. So 274 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: I just clean shave it and then try and get 275 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: some new vibes with new facial hair. I've gone the 276 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: stash two weeks. I did it as you play with theah. 277 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: Not great. Actually I did it last year with the players. 278 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: That was my first iterational stash. It was sick. But 279 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: I improved on it this year because I went like, 280 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: I didn't trim anything. I just left it all there 281 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: and I went clean on the end right, which was 282 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: a little aggressive. It is very true. I know, I 283 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: know you're I know you're younger. There's never been a 284 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: mustache that's mauntograss. That's actually part of the mustache experience. 285 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: My take on mustache is, I don't know if you 286 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: guys agree, is like, I don't think anyone actually looks 287 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: better with the mustache. Acically, it's a statement, agreed. You 288 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: make a statement, You're like, that guy has a mustache, 289 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: like he's confident, and then all of a sudden you 290 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: think that he looks better like my Caddy car. Actually, 291 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: my Caddy Carl is a really good looking mustache. I'll 292 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: give him that. If he shaved it clean, would he 293 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: looked better? No, I don't think I was one of 294 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: so ingrained in my head right that it's become a 295 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: part of this thing now. But this, like you say, exactly, yeah, 296 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: you see it in your brain. But this year I 297 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: went the stash, but with like a one on the 298 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,839 Speaker 1: rest of my beard, and I think it looked a 299 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: lot better and I played well. I came in fourteenth 300 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: at Bail with it. 301 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 4: That was my question, what's the correlation there? 302 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: You know, the first one I missed the kind of 303 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: the players last year, but immediate, immediate shade. 304 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 3: So you play a ton of golf. We've heard you're 305 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 3: a pretty competitive chess player as well. Yeah, how good 306 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 3: are you want? Your handicap at chess? And you what 307 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 3: would you put yourself. 308 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: At if I had to put my chess eglo as 309 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: a handicap. I'd say I'm a one or two ny caps, 310 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: so you're very I think some other people would say 311 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: I'm a scratcher better, but I just I don't believe 312 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: that because I've only really played online. I haven't played 313 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: in person that much because I picked it up over 314 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: when I hurt my wrist in twenty nineteen. So I'm 315 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: pretty good. My rating is nineteen hundred, okay, I'd say 316 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: a beginner, A true beginner is probably four hundred, five hundred, 317 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: and then you can intermediate players on thy to twelve hundred. 318 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: So I'd say I'm definitely I'm better than like on 319 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: my chest dot com thing, it says what percentage your 320 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: profilesand I'm ninety nine point four or five. I'd feel 321 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: pretty confident it could beat anyone like you feel like 322 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: you the best chess player on tour. That's my question. Yes, yeah, 323 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: you'd I don't want to make one Chess FedEx cup 324 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,599 Speaker 1: you're leading. Yes, I don't. Actually, I don't want to 325 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: say that too, because there could be some guys finally 326 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: out there. You've got to put it out there. 327 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 4: You didn't grow up. You didn't play chess growing up. 328 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: You just started, so I knew the moves, and I 329 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: went to Chess Masters thing in middle school, so I 330 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: knew the moves. I knew I didn't know any openings, 331 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: but I knew how all the pieces moved, and I 332 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: knew the objectives. So when I started off, I didn't 333 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: start off as a four or five hundred. I kind 334 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: of started off as like a seven hundred, so I 335 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: had a little better grasp of it. And then I 336 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: have a very addictive personality. Once I get stuck on something, 337 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just sending the books. I'll just in 338 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: injury three books in a week. And but I did 339 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: this thing with chess where I just I couldn't do 340 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: anything because I had surgery my wrist. I just watched 341 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: chess videos for six hours and study openings. 342 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 2: So so the engineers at PING, they're working on data 343 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: scientists and all stuff. Data scientists Ping, they're on chess 344 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 2: dot Com. A few of them played you related you 345 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 2: He's like, no way, I'm playing no way. Yeah, someone 346 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: a couple do you know what? 347 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 4: I don't know. I can't remember. 348 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: Got the results. I haven't been playing in it. But 349 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: also addicting. I played last week a decent amount and 350 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: I had a bunch of just like fans give me 351 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: challenges that I played one of them, someone beat me. 352 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: So it's like your user name like the Gala one. 353 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: How do they feel that's s R. And then Daniel 354 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: Daniel Rapp report in late last year was like tweeting 355 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: about my chess or asking me about chess and like 356 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: here here's my account. Challenge me and I'll play. And 357 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: I got a thousand requests. I couldn't even play anyone 358 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: because I got too many. So I think now that 359 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: it's died down, now I'm actually able to play people 360 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: that want to play. You said you said you're into 361 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: books when you read right now, right now I'm reading. 362 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm rereading The Kill Mockingbird. I have one of my 363 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: favorite authors. He's kind of a young adult author. I'd 364 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: said my brother he's at and he gave me his book. 365 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: It's a Neil Schusterman book called Roxy. But I read 366 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: a lot of just I like fiction, just like I 367 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: like easy reads. And I'm not a huge I mean 368 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: I read like some self provement books are life books, 369 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: but not not very often. But those are the two 370 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: books I have right now? 371 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 4: Are you digital? 372 00:15:59,240 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: No? 373 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 4: No heart the heart? 374 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: But you know I get a headache looking at it. 375 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 3: Oh man, I've been like deep in your my kindle, kindle, 376 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 3: my four you'll just scratch my kindles now it's like 377 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 3: not only reading on a kindle, but has just this 378 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 3: deep scratch right middle. 379 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: That's not brutal, it's brutal. That's why maybe I haven't read. 380 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 2: When do you read like on the on your tour schedules, 381 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 2: at traveling weeks only hotel, let's see it with your. 382 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 4: Just kind of at night. 383 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: I've been trying to because like I'd literally fall asleep 384 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: watching Chester Years or playing chess or watching YouTube or something. 385 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: So I'm like, I'm gonna try and sleep without my 386 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: phone near me. So I put my phone away, pick 387 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: up the book, and then soon enough you get tired 388 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: enough when you shut it away. But it's pretty much 389 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: only at night. And then if I have an off 390 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: week and I'm just sitting at home doing nothing, I'll 391 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: pick it up and read song. But I used to 392 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: be crazy reader when I was younger, but I probably 393 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: stopped for four or five years and just picked it 394 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: back up a year or two ago. 395 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, when did your relationship with paying start? Because I 396 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 3: know you'd mentioned some stuff at knowledge. When did that 397 00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 3: relationship again? 398 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: It was all Brownie, to be honest to my coach, 399 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: Rick Connor, who is still with me, we've been together 400 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: seventeen years now, but he was on Ping staff when 401 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: I was playing Junior Roads when I was twelve and thirteen. 402 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: So when I was thirteen years old, Brownie came and 403 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: watched me at a Riverwalk golf course in San Diego. 404 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: And ever since then, I traded in my US kids 405 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: golf clubs because I literally played them until I was 406 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: thirteen for Pings and that was my first set I 407 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: think it was. 408 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 5: S fifty seven's maybe does that sound about right? I 409 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 5: like S fifty seven I started with, like the those 410 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 5: felt like impossible places to hit for me at the time. 411 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 5: But yeah, so I've been playing Ping since I was thirteen, 412 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 5: and honestly I've played fourteen clubs for a few years now. 413 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 3: Is it wild thinking back to that kid that's twelve 414 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 3: and thirteen. It's getting clubs to now wear the hat, 415 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like to be paid and 416 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 3: to be sponsored and to come in a truck like this, 417 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 3: like you ever have moments where you think. 418 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: Back and go, I can't believe this company cares enough 419 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: to do this. Well, I couldn't believe they're like, I 420 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: couldn't believe they trust me that much when I was 421 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: that young. And the fact that I was getting free 422 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: golf clubs where some of my friends are paying right 423 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of dollars on golf clubs and all 424 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: that stuff. I definitely never took it for granted, but 425 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: now it is. It's really cool that I've been wrapping 426 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: paying And the thing I tell people is that I 427 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: just feel like equipment is such a comfort based thing. 428 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: You need to really love the feel and comfortability of 429 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: your clubs, and it's got to look good to you too. 430 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: And I think playing ping for a while and that 431 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: I'm just so comfortable in the look down be hard 432 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: to look down something else. And then the relationships too, 433 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: Like I've gotten to know the ping guys so well, yeah, 434 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: and they're just great people. You can just joke around, 435 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: and I feel like we've genuinely become friends and acquaintances 436 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: and it's fun to be around them, which is great too. 437 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 2: So you mentioned, Okay, going back to the stats, you 438 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 2: think you're ninety nine percentile in chess, yes, you know, 439 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 2: or at least out here on tour do you are you? 440 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 2: Let's talk about on your golf game. Are you into 441 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 2: the stats? You follow the stats and your coach your team, 442 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 2: you know, and then you know because looking and looking 443 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 2: at your strokes gain stats. 444 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 4: Yeah. 445 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 2: I mean one of your best parts of your game 446 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 2: is iron iron play over two hundred yards, Like you're 447 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,479 Speaker 2: in the top ten percentile out here, which is just 448 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 2: filming and it probably drives your you know, long part three, Yeah, 449 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 2: turns long part threes over two hundred you get to 450 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 2: a big golf course, yeah, second shounts on part fours, 451 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,479 Speaker 2: then you can attack part fives. 452 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 4: What would you say are your strengths your game? 453 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 2: And how much do you look at analytics versus kind 454 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 2: of just trusting your instinct. 455 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: I've always loved looking at stats for other people and 456 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: in general, but for myself personally, I don't really love 457 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: I mean, I like looking at my stats, but I 458 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: don't use my stats to do a whole lot in 459 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: terms of analytics except my putting putting stuff. I definitely 460 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: look at what rangers on best at, like my speed 461 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. I definitely do that, but in 462 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: terms of ball striking stuff, I don't look at it 463 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: too much because I feel like my iron play has 464 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: always been good. I've never felt like a great iron player. 465 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: I think I'm trying. I'm getting close. I'm getting close 466 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,719 Speaker 1: to being more consistent. But one thing I've never had 467 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: an issue is gettinghigh on the ball, So I think 468 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: that's why my my part three scoring average has always 469 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: been great. My long irons, I always feel like are 470 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: good because I can kind of hoist them and just 471 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: kind of land them in the middle of the not 472 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: try to fit it in this little two yard window 473 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: you're trying to land on because it's firm. So I 474 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: feel like that's why my long irons have always been good. 475 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: But I'd say the best part of my game is 476 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: always my short game. My putting and chipping and stats 477 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: always back up, except last year with my putting, which 478 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: was weird, but uh, my stats always back that up. 479 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: I feel like, even through college I was such a 480 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: bad ball stricker. I would legit game for a couple 481 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: of seasons. I gained over a shot on the greens 482 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: for the year and still not winning. I just should 483 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: have bad. I was hitting it. 484 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 2: But your total strokes game is trending that it is 485 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 2: five or six years, which were they tracked some you're 486 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 2: playing the amateur events school. 487 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're in a nice trend. 488 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: And I think the reason I kind of refocused myself 489 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: a little bit last year because I was just kind 490 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: of getting sucked in a little bit to looking at Okay, 491 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: I need to get my driving better because my driving 492 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: I was like one to eightieth and off the tea 493 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: last year, So I need to get this better. I 494 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: need to hit these irons better. I'm like, I got 495 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: to stick to my DNA, which is just my short game. 496 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: So honestly, I just re kind of focused myself into 497 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: practicing more short game. So it's sick. Even though stats 498 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: are saying these are the worst parts of my game, 499 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: I ended up working harder on my best parts of 500 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: my game, and that's really shown this year. I don't 501 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: think my stats are actually that good overall, which is 502 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: always a funny thing to me. But I think I'm 503 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: in the mid thirties to forties and short game and putting, 504 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: and I feel like I haven't putted that great this year, 505 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: but it's good to see the improvement. And then the 506 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: long game. Just I feel like practicing more my short game. 507 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: It's kind of taking stress off my long game. And 508 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: this is the best ball striking year I've ever had 509 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: in my life, which is funny because I'm still one 510 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 1: thirtieth off the team. 511 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 3: I mean, that's the give and take with the ses it. 512 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 3: You can feel I'm improving here. I see it in 513 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 3: front of me. Yes, and you know, being one hundred 514 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 3: and thirtieth on planet Earth, that one thing is when 515 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 3: you compare it to that, Yeah, it's like it's a 516 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 3: little bit of a different thing. 517 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: You know. 518 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 3: You can be self deprecated about your golf game, which 519 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 3: is a good thing. 520 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: I think Harry's self deprecated about pretty much everything in 521 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: my life. 522 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 3: You're very honest, you know, you talk about loving the grind. 523 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 3: Who do you look up to that's either played before 524 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 3: we're out on tour as someone that you kind of 525 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 3: want to follow along in the way they've done it 526 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 3: and the. 527 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: Way they do it. Yeah, obviously, I just feel like 528 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: people my age that the big three, at least for me, 529 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: well it's almost four, but there's Tiger VJ and Phil 530 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 1: and then I definitely put Ernie in there. I think 531 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: you could argue Ernie's have a share a career than VJ. Actually, 532 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: but those guys and then the guy I grew up 533 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: a lot watching in my more formative years of high 534 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: school and middle school, high school at college was Rory, 535 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: And I just love Rurry's game. My game is nothing 536 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: like Rory's. It's it's as opposite. It's been get for Rory's, 537 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: to be honest, but uh, just watching him, I've always like, man, 538 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: if I can ever get to any even if I 539 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: can get to ten percent of what Rory does, that 540 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: would be that would be really really cool. But you 541 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: played with him. I just played the first time in 542 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: my life last week in Charlotte, and it was sick. 543 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: Unfortunately it was Saturday and we're like third group off, 544 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: so we weren't having a week. But we didn't play 545 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: it well either. We actually script her. We both shot 546 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: even the third round. But he was such a cool 547 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: guy and I've always kind of looked up to him, 548 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: and even though he's only eight years older than me 549 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 1: or something. But another guy whose game I loved watching 550 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: in high school and college was JT. I feel like, 551 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: if anyone, I feel like my game is closest to his, 552 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: you definitely see him hit some shots what the world 553 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: worst shots ever seen, and then he'll hit just magical shots. 554 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy, the way he works the ball. 555 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: I've played with them, I've goten lucky enough playing them 556 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: three times now this year. And the way he works 557 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: the ball is a joke, Like it looks fake, almost 558 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: like he'll have a back left pin. He's been hitting 559 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: these tight cuts ol Daniel snipe a thirty yard drawn 560 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: there just because it's the hits. I feel like it's 561 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: his way of seeing the shot the best and the 562 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: way he flights his wedges as a joke. I mean, 563 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: of all the people in terms of that have been like, wow, 564 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: this games really is probably JT. Which is cool to 565 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: see because I was like, I kind of want to. 566 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: I'm not mimic my game after him, but good person 567 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: to mimic a game? Yeah, for sure, one a lot 568 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: and he's won a lot of big things. Yeah you know, 569 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: if you can, if you can do it and it 570 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 1: makes sense, do you want to right? 571 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 4: Yeah? 572 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: Yeah? 573 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 2: Would you say he's the players out out here right 574 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 2: now is shape in the ball into the pens the 575 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 2: most of you play with. 576 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: You know what's crazy is I feel like if he 577 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: just steps up there and hits a stock swing, I 578 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: feel like his stock swing doesn't even move. It's like 579 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: dead straight, maybe falls a yard right. So, in terms 580 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: of the guy guys I've played with, he definitely moves 581 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: it the most. Max Home also gets a moving, pretty 582 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: good left right, which I love because I do that. 583 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: But a lot of the other I feel like a 584 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: lot of the other guys I've played with, they can 585 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: move it both ways, but it is just so so tight, 586 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: like Xander and Pat and those guys, I mean, they're 587 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 1: ball moves that much, these teeny little Yeah, do. 588 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 3: You struggle seeing yourself equal to those guys? Like, how 589 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 3: do you how do you combat that? Like, how do 590 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,239 Speaker 3: you combat the feeling that these guys are here and 591 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 3: I'm here trying to get to that place. 592 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: I just I just from an eye test and looking, 593 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: I know everyone is biased somewhat. Well, I tend to 594 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: think people are biased more negatively than positively when thinking 595 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: about your own shots and game especially, I'll hit ourselves 596 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah, I just feel like my good 597 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: shots don't look anything like these other guys the good shots, 598 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: And I know that's not true. I know that's not true, 599 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: but I always I just asked. I joke with my 600 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: buddies out here. I still think I hit some of 601 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: the worst shots on tour period. I think there's there's 602 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: probably a compilation of my space balls, and I've had 603 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: to sign so many gloves and balls for people. But 604 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: it definitely was hard. Last year I had I didn't 605 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: even think I could compete with some of these guys, 606 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: and last year was big, making tour championship and still 607 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: feeling I had the world to improve on my game. 608 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: So I know how hard it is and you can 609 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: lose it at any moment's notice. But just kind of 610 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: knowing also knowing how hard it is, it's like, you 611 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: know I shouldn't. I'm not scared of any of these guys, 612 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: but I just still feel like I have a ways 613 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: to go to reach those guys's levels of Sander and 614 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: Pat and Scotty and those guys, they just do it 615 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: every week, like I have a great week and I'll 616 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: finish fifth, right, I'll have a great week, played great. 617 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: They'll have an off week and finish seventh. That's their 618 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: third worst finish the year. I was mind I was 619 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: diving through some finishes. I was looking at Tony's. It's sillier. 620 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: It's the worst finish is thirty fifth, thirty first. 621 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,239 Speaker 3: You know, like that consistency and again, but I mean 622 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 3: that's that's attainable. I mean, that's the thing about consistency 623 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 3: is you see players work to that point where they 624 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 3: get into a position where that game is consistent, and 625 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 3: then it makes more sense. 626 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 1: An interesting take about this is just like ranking stuff. 627 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: I just feel like any given week, anybody can win everybody. 628 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: He's so good out here. The one hundred and eightieth 629 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: guy on Fest for sure could have one. There's a 630 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: reason they're out there. They're out here and playing well. 631 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: But I will say I think there's a gap between 632 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: you know, the top six to eight guys in the 633 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: world and then everybody else. I think there's a discernible 634 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: gap where I think even Max was talking about it, 635 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: like even you know, that guy's on a heater, he's 636 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: playing the best, one of the nicest guys, playing the 637 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: best golf of his life, and he still feels like 638 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: there's a gap between him. Yeah, and John Rahm and 639 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: these guys are just playing absurd golf week in and 640 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: week out, and I think that goes kind of under 641 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: the radar sometimes, like you, I feel like people get 642 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: like power finished twelfth in an event and be like, oh, 643 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: he's slumping or something like Colin. Colin's like eighth in 644 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: the world. Now everyone's like, oh, he's on the playing 645 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: horrible slumping. He's leading strokes, he can approach, it's made 646 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: six five mili. He's having his best Irony ever this year. 647 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: He's best iron youer ever. People are just like so 648 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: it's just crazy result oriented, I guess. But yeah, just 649 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: how consistent those guys are. 650 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 2: So say you, I'm combined two things I want to 651 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 2: hear that we want to hear this story. Yeah, one 652 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 2: being in with the gallery or in this case the 653 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 2: patrons and two year short yes, tell us about sixteen 654 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 2: and a guest. 655 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. So I'll give some background on my 656 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 1: golf game that led to that shot. Anyway, the last 657 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: five months I've been playing almost strictly a cut with irons, 658 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: and my whole first year on tour, I was hitting 659 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: like shallow draws, which I've never hit my life, and 660 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: that's part of the reason why I played well. But 661 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: for some reason on this whole I was like, I'm 662 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,239 Speaker 1: gonna to drop back left pin, like the slope, all 663 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: that stuff right, and my draw definitely spins less and 664 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: comes off a touch lower. But I've been used to 665 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: my fade yardages, which if I was fading it, I 666 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: probably would have hit six iron there, one hundred and 667 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: eighty five yards into the wind out of the right. 668 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: But I hit seven and I actually thought I'd put 669 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: a good swing on it, but it just I pulled 670 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: it a hair and it rode the wind. And I'm 671 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: looking at this thing. I'm like, oh my god, this 672 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: is so long. This is ten yards left of the pin. 673 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: This is gonna kill somebody. 674 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 4: Sure enough. 675 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: It doesn't even lay. It lay in the gallery right. 676 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: I landed fifteen years over the pin, and I hit 677 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: a poor lady in the head. I did send a 678 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: picture out to her, though she signed it the next wee, 679 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: but I hit her in the head, which kept it 680 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: from going on the whole six essentially, so it stayed 681 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: in the middle of the gallery, kind of in the 682 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: mud there, and it took three minutes to clear the 683 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: whole gallery out there, And of course in those three minutes, 684 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: one hundred people were talking about the Tiger shot. Dude 685 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: for Tiger, and I'm just hearing it. And at one 686 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: point I wasn't like chippier. I was laughing at everything. 687 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: At one point was like chipping in like Tiger. I 688 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: was like, bro. I literally turned to the guys dead quiet. 689 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: I was like, bro, I'm trying to chip this on 690 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: the green. Everyone started laughing and I'm not. I'm not 691 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,959 Speaker 1: laughing right, I'm just trying to get it on. I mean, 692 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: I'm on trying to not make five I'm literally on 693 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: wet dirt. I'm like, I just can't chunk this or 694 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna hit two feet in front of me. 695 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: It's gonna be embarrassing. But I just kind of blocked out. Honestly, 696 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: I was already feeling the nerves from just the whole 697 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: day and the whole week, and I kind of blocked 698 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: out over the chip, and sure enough, I landed it 699 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: right on my spot and I'm like, oh sick. I 700 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: just said it to like I probably have five feet 701 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: coming back for part.

Right, 810 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 3: It's a little bit like who you talked about with 811 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 3: stats with the golf game, is like you can look 812 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 3: at these things, but like, I live in an area 813 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,439 Speaker 3: where the best wings are like the work. 814 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: You would never go in this place in a million years. 815 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: It's the worst looking to live in the world. 816 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 3: And there's a tight place down the street from my 817 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 3: house that's the same way you would walk in the 818 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,240 Speaker 3: in the front door.
