1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Now, the Shotgun Starting Golf is full of mathematics. There's

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: a lot of setup work that we have to do

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: in order to make a tournament work. So I'm going

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 1: to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: shotgun start here and.

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: Go alright, alright, alright, did no man dart?

7
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 3: Your grudians are welcome to a Wednesday edition of The

8
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: Shotgun Start. It is July fifteenth, Andy, how we doing.

9
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: Brendan, I'm doing I'm doing spectacular. I'm just ready. I'm

10
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: ready to go. Final major of the year. Can't believe

11
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: this is the last big preview show other than the

12
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: Peak Cup this year.

13
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: Other than the Peak Cup. You know, Rory was doing

14
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 3: his press conference today and I was like, what do

15
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 3: you have to look forward to in a non Ryder

16
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 3: Cup year. I almost wanted to ask him that I'm

17
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: sure just say FedEx Cup or some other It is

18
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: the last men's major of the year.

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: This is uh.

20
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: You know, there will be many days of of like

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 3: I said on WII or lethargy, lethargic moments coming up,

22
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: but not today, not this week. I'm very, very excited

23
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 3: for this major championship. You know, I've worked my way

24
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: up to Royal Birkdale with KVV yesterday, had a full

25
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 3: day on the ground today and I would generally describe

26
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 3: myself as extremely enthusiastic about this major. I would say

27
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 3: the vibes on the ground are extremely high. I know

28
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: there are some questions about the golf course, the golf

29
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: course changes, the hands that were on those golf course changes,

30
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: but I think right now everybody's positive about the venue. Obviously,

31
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: the conditions which we'll get into and heard a lot about,

32
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 3: and the opportunity for the men's for the final men's Major.

33
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: I think it's a really really good setup for today.

34
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 2: I mean Rory's obviously after this it's all eyes on Memphis, right.

35
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 3: I don't think that's gonna be the case. It's like,

36
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: have you thought about by this Friday adding three have

37
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: you thought about joining Scotty and Speet at the three m?

38
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 3: Maybe get your numbers up. I thought about mentioning that

39
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 3: it's yeah, it's a treat to be here. It's great.

40
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 3: I cannot wait. I know that sounds simplistic and obvious,

41
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: but I was walking in with KVV today and this

42
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: morning and there's just like it's it's unlike any other

43
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: major It's a very distinct feeling and look. And I

44
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: was like, I wouldn't say I was like getting emotional,

45
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: but I was very contemplative, and I was like walking

46
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 3: in it hits you like the same every time, and

47
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: just like how you and I went to the first

48
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: one in twenty twenty two, and like probably when I

49
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: started this job, you know, or we were both Yana

50
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: and we were like optimistic, but like I don't know,

51
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 3: probably didn't think I would ever come to an open right.

52
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: That was probably like it felt big and far, and

53
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: I make it to an open Now I've done a

54
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: handful and it's just it's the best. It's so unique

55
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: and unlike anything else. Just walking in the day, it

56
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: like hit me, washed over me, like God, this is

57
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: so cool and you know exactly the scene and how

58
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 3: it feels.

59
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: I've heard reports on the ground say that it's firm,

60
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: that it's baked out. Can you confirm being on the ground, I.

61
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: Mean, I can't confirm. I think we're sort of in

62
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: a contest. It seems to see how we can frame

63
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: and convey the fact that it is firm and baked

64
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: out and fiery and brown and maybe white like that

65
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: that's where I'm getting a little overdosed on this. It's

66
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: like how people are saying it, Like I have been

67
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: doing this for fifteen months, and this is the most

68
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: baked out course, you know, Like I have been to

69
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: every links course in the world, and this it just

70
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: feels like there's a lot. Pretty soon we're going to

71
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: be you know, dropping, trying to attempting to drop like

72
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: bricks on the turf to see if they'll bounce. Like

73
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: it's just like, how can we make content out of

74
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: the fact?

75
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: And that's our job.

76
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it is our job.

77
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 4: It is.

78
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 3: It is remarkably how golden out there. It's the first

79
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: thing you notice as you walk around. I made my

80
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 3: own tweet about it today simply because I noticed the

81
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 3: sprinkler heads. It's just like this, these little green dots

82
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 3: you know, that line the fairways or the points in

83
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 3: the fairways. So it's all set up. It's all set up.

84
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 3: The players have attested to it. I think it's gonna

85
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 3: be a very different kind of golf than we always

86
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 3: even even by even by open standards. Scotti Scheffler made

87
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 3: a point of saying, you know, we haven't really had

88
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: a firm open in my in his career since the

89
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: twenty two st Andrew's Open, and the way it's changes

90
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: how you play and the way it changes how you

91
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: play off the tee is very It's anomalous to what

92
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: these guys face pretty much every year, even even just

93
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: even by open standards, he compared to you know, I

94
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: didn't play this way at Port Rush or I didn't

95
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: see this at Port Rush. So it's all set up

96
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 3: for a great major championship and it's the last one.

97
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: So by nature, last four days, by nature, we should

98
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 3: be kind of bubbling with enthusiasm.

99
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: I want to know how how your accommodations, how how

100
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: England's treating you are, you know how that commendations are.

101
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: But I saw on Instagram you guys were riding in comfort.

102
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: We were riding in comfort. We were riding comfort, you know, Andy,

103
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: As I was getting contemplative and thinking about you know,

104
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: I didn't know and I was, you knowyng and starting

105
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: as a little blog boy that the Open seemed out

106
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: of reach, right, I don't know if I could get there.

107
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: That just seems like a big trip. But thanks to Mike,

108
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: our good friends at Mercedes Benz this year they are

109
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: supporting our and we were able to get on the

110
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: ground insight like the fact that it's fiery. You would

111
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 3: not have seen that anywhere else if I had not

112
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: been able to get over here. But we will have

113
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 3: lots of coverage both on this podcast, our newsletter, our

114
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: Mercedes Hub. Thanks to them for supporting fried Egg's work.

115
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: You know, from compact to powerhouse, Mercedes Benz offers a

116
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: variety of SUVs, each with flowing lines, precise edges, expertly

117
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 3: balancing elegance and aerodynamics. You can further customize that driving experience,

118
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: whether it's through the vast array of interior exterior options

119
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: or the hundreds of in vehicle settings that can be

120
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: personalized to best fit your needs. Anecdotally, we had to

121
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 3: tink over some of those settings on the way up.

122
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 3: We drove from London Heathrow to the Southport area and

123
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: there was like laying assist was helping and the attention

124
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 3: assist and they had speed limit assists. You know, we'd

125
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 3: getting the danes, so like all sorts of options that

126
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 3: you can tink or turn off, turn on. You know,

127
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 3: Kevin was off of Red Eye and driving right. We

128
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: want to make sure his attention is at high level

129
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 3: and the lanes being the lane integrity like gap integrity

130
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: is being maintained. So that was a setting, a custom

131
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 3: setting that was helpful on the ride up. Maybe also

132
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 3: had the Burmster three D surround system which we had

133
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: immersive acoustic experience listening to you guys Monday podcast that

134
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: I was unable to make or just chose not to make.

135
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: I probably could have done it, if I'm being honest,

136
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 3: but I was off of Red Eye. So they've got

137
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: that going. You can find out more at MBUSA dot com.

138
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: Mercedes Benz is proud to be an official patriot of

139
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: the Open Championship and certainly a very cherished and helpful

140
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: support of our work.

141
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: I've heard you've got a pigeon problem.

142
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 3: Uh problems, probably too strong. They're fighting outside our door

143
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: and like it's hot here, and so the doors are

144
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: open and the windows are open, and they're just you know,

145
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: cuckouhon or kaka and whatever the sound pigeons make, and

146
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 3: so we had to close the door. So it's either

147
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 3: over heat and or potential pigeon intrusion.

148
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: Today, I've got a question. Do screens not exist in England?

149
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: Did the invention of screens never make it there, because

150
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: it feels like every time I'm in Scotland or England

151
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: or Ireland, I'm just bewildered at the you know that

152
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: there's no screens.

153
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 3: I you know, my wife has come on this trip,

154
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: but not to the open but with my family and

155
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 3: other parts of England. I've gotten this question approximately seventy

156
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 3: five times in the last four days from her. So

157
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: you're adding to the chorus here. It doesn't appear to

158
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: be a thing. There's flies, there's all sorts of animals,

159
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 3: cats coming through open windows. I don't think screens exist.

160
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 3: Had a right and proper British shower this morning. It

161
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 3: was more of a drip. The heat just came on

162
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: at its own, had a mind of its own, whether

163
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: the water was hot cold, and at what intervals and

164
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 3: what amount of time temperature. So had that going. It's

165
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: been a good immersion. I love coming up and screens

166
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: and temperature notwithstanding, I did get a little bit of

167
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 3: local flavor, local culture insight. You might be before we

168
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 3: get back to the Gulf. So I went into a

169
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 3: coffee shop this morning and I talk about the soccer

170
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 3: like I gotta be really excited, you know, England. You

171
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 3: know national teams playing Wednesday. Where should we watch it?

172
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 3: It's just got to be fired up. He goes, I'm

173
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 3: not excited at all. What's what's the matter? You're not

174
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 3: English because I'm from Liverpool And I said, okay, He goes,

175
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: apparently this is the thing. Liverpool's Liverpool. You know they

176
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: say Liverpool's in England, but it's not Liverpool's Liverpool.

177
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: What yeah?

178
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: And I go I asked a few of other English

179
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: brethren around here. They're like, Liverpool thinks it's its own country,

180
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: has a mind of its own. I don't know this

181
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 3: is uniform across everyone from Liverpool, but apparently this is.

182
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 3: I was like, so they don't even want their national

183
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: team to win, like I. It's not like they're rooting

184
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 3: for I totally ambivalent to his national team winning. So

185
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 3: that's the thing. I guess Liverpool, who are known as Scousers,

186
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 3: Scousers s c o U S e r S Scousers. Yeah, yeah,

187
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 3: so they consider themselves their own country.

188
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: Do you feel like Liverpool in the American vein is like, uh,

189
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: like Texas mentality.

190
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 3: That's what someone analogy. An English person analogized that and

191
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: said it's like Texas. But Texas people would still be

192
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 3: rooting for their national team to win the whatever World

193
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 3: cub Hockey something like that. Right, it's not like they're

194
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: ambivalent or upset if they're if they're a national team wins.

195
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: It sounds like you just ran into a bad egg.

196
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 3: You know, I thought so the guy knew his football.

197
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 3: He just started throwing all these analysis at me. But

198
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: uh yeah, that's the thing that's a little local, local

199
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: insight I can provide. I feel like I've heard about

200
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 3: Harry Kane my whole life, and and all England has

201
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 3: done is buried the lead of Jude Bellingham. Well apparently

202
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 3: some uh some the British press or English press thought

203
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 3: that he should be left at home, you would like, Yeah,

204
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 3: they were down on him. They were down on the

205
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 3: Bellingham kind of like kind of like they kind of

206
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: like Joe's our own PJ going against PCJ. Tough tough

207
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 3: timing for that one for the English press to go

208
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 3: down on the Jude Bellion.

209
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: You know, I don't want to I don't want to

210
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: allow PCA to infiltrate this podcast, but sure, I don't

211
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: know if it was a weak moment or he's been

212
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: just completely worn down by what's happened over the last

213
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 2: couple of months. But PJ to me and and I

214
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: don't know if this was said in confidence, admitted that

215
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: PCA was one of the ten best players in baseball.

216
00:11:53,920 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: Oh, I like that, so be worn down the wall.

217
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: Might be the end of the PCA that because he has.

218
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: Folded, he is for ten in baseball. That's incredible. All right,

219
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 3: what are your early thoughts?

220
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: Do we need to talk about the course conditions anymore?

221
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: I had? I had a couple of things, just you know,

222
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: the Open is always where I spend the least amount

223
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: of time, you know, in recent years, I haven't gone

224
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: to an Open in a few years. I spend the

225
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: least amount of time on a golf course, so it

226
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: gives me ample time to see sit and read press

227
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: conferences transcripts. Uh. You know, I've been just rummaging around

228
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: in them for the last two days. You know, I

229
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 2: think like one of the things we have to realize

230
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: with pros and and the way they talk about strategy

231
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 2: and strategy is forefront this week, especially professional golf strategy. Yes,

232
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: it's never going to be oh this side or this

233
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: side of the fairway. What it is is whether I

234
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 2: lay back or push ahead. And this week it feels

235
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: like just with the way the course is set up,

236
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 2: how firm the fairways are, and how narrow they're going

237
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: to play because of how firm they are. And for

238
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 2: anybody wondering why when they're firm they play narrow, just

239
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: think the ball bounces a lot and rolls a lot.

240
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: So especially any any fairway that moves on an angle,

241
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 2: it's going to be really hard to hit because your

242
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 2: ball will just run through the fairway. So this week

243
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 2: to me is kind of a huge I'm fascinated to

244
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: watch how players play. I feel like this is similar

245
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: to Carnousti that was twenty eighteen and you know, it

246
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: was super baked out there and there was a lot

247
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: of talk there about how to play. Similarly, do you

248
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 2: push up? Do you try and beat up the golf course?

249
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: And I've seen there's like, okay, you're you know, the

250
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 2: always are so narrow. If you hit driver, you're probably

251
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: gonna end up in the rough. This is you know,

252
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: I think scotty kind of you are You're going to

253
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: end up in the rough, and you just have a

254
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: wedgend and you figure it out from there. It's a

255
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: shorter golf course. It's not like overly long or do

256
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 2: you lay back, leave longer approaches and hope you're in

257
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: the fairway, but it's still quite narrow. So I think

258
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: it's It's interesting because the last time we had a

259
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: similar dynamic to this was Carneusti, and what happened was

260
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: the players that tried to play bully ball. I remember,

261
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: in particular, John Rahm and Brooks kind of went out

262
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: and tried to bully the golf course and they were

263
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: they were They got beat up by it, and I'm

264
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: curious to see. I don't know if that's necessarily the

265
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: way this year is going to play out, but I'm

266
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: curious to see what happens this year because it feels

267
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: like a very similar dynamic.

268
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 5: Now.

269
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: Obviously, when you're hitting it into the rough and then

270
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: trying to aproach these greens, you're gonna have such little

271
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: control over your golf ball with how firm it is,

272
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: because you're just not gonna be able to spin it.

273
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: So you're gonna be We're I mean, we're.

274
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 3: Probably gonna see a lot of golf shots being bounced in,

275
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 3: which is just not the case with professional golf very often.

276
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: I'm really excited to watch. I'm excited to watch what

277
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: strategy plays out. If I had to guess, like I'm

278
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: guessing the bombing up there strategy is going to be

279
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: pretty popular. But one of the things I was thinking

280
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: about with the week, and this is just a working hypothesis,

281
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: I think this brings a lot of players into the field,

282
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: and I think it could you could see one of

283
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: those ball control aces play really well. And you know,

284
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: if you want to think about like top of the list,

285
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be you know, one of the big

286
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: stories of the week is Tommy Fleetwood's right there, not

287
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: really a long hitter, but excels at controlling the golf ball.

288
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 3: You know, so from a local perspective, and this it

289
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: sounds like they've sold more tickets than most ever that

290
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 3: they said it's Fleetwood, Rose, uh, Fitzi and Rory, and

291
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: like after that Fitzi probably Fleetwood Rose Rory, then a

292
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: little Fitzy residual fits the interest. And then after that,

293
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 3: like if it's not those that people think are going

294
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: to just not bail on Sunday, but the interest will wait.

295
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 5: That's it.

296
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: We got to start talking about Fitzy as the needle

297
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: because I was walking around Evanston yesterday and the I mean,

298
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: the college kids were buzzing about Fitzy's Chances'.

299
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 3: Tron showing Scotland. They're just all fired up college kids

300
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: in the middle of July summer school, summer school kids.

301
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: I got my hair cut there and like all all

302
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 3: people were talking about one of the local coffee shops.

303
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: You know, I got accosted by like four people asking me, what,

304
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: oh my god about Fitzy this week.

305
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 3: That's incredible. To the course point, you're right, FITZI I

306
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 3: might be taking a certain bus from Georgia. We'll see

307
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 3: one and done picks to come here by the end,

308
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 3: I think. You know, John rom said he hit a

309
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 3: six iron. They were all hitting five and six irons

310
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: off eleven and they were nearly getting in the bunker

311
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 3: on the left. That's at two hundred and seventy nine yards,

312
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 3: so you're seeing six irons travel to that on holes.

313
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 3: I I think it's opening up. Some caddies have talked

314
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 3: about it. It's like Poile Aco six. The infamous obviously

315
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 3: never have to a driver Tiger eighteen Carnegie, which you

316
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 3: just cited and a little bit of twenty two twenty

317
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: two Saint Andrews and to Scotty's distinction point like golden

318
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 3: brown and fiery doesn't necessarily hasn't always necessarily meant firm

319
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 3: in in all the opens that he's played. But this

320
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: is both as it goes right now. They put some

321
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 3: water on last night, but let's just to keep it alive,

322
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: and I can't imagine it changing much. Do we think

323
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 3: you know? Hitting six? I to be clear, the strategy

324
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 3: may there may be a lot of strategy involved or

325
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 3: talked about, like there's a lot of decision making to

326
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: be done in Scotty as well. Scores aren't necessarily going

327
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 3: to be challenging or high because of this, just because

328
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 3: of strategic choices or decision I would imagine the winning

329
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 3: score is going to be relatively low. The wind looks

330
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 3: like it will be negligible by Birkdale standards, changing direction

331
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: a little bit. That can change between now and the

332
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 3: start of the tournament on Thursday. But when will be negligible.

333
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 3: That rough that Joseph talked about in advance isn't as penal,

334
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 3: right if it's just dry and whispier, It's just not

335
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 3: unless you get really really far afield. You might get chammed,

336
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: but the rough isn't super penal even if you do

337
00:18:55,080 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 3: run through it. I I there's just a lot of

338
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 3: I think similar to Ironim mak in Shinnikok, there's just

339
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 3: a lot of mystery about how this will play out,

340
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 3: and I think that creates enthusiasm excitement, and Irono mank

341
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 3: it was like are they gonna bomb and gouge it?

342
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 3: When then we got a bunch of win that we

343
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 3: didn't necessarily expect, like real wind for two and a

344
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 3: half three days, and Greens presented a different challenge Shinnakok,

345
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 3: who was like, oh my god, the wins that are coming.

346
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 3: Can they even set up this golf course? There was

347
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 3: like enthusiasm excitement about this that this one I think

348
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 3: is sort of like, oh my god, this is as

349
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 3: firm as firm gets and are we gonna see guys

350
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: hit six iron wedge six irons all the way around

351
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 3: and win. There's just excitement in the uncertainty of what

352
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 3: can come, and we don't get that every week. I

353
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 3: think that's probably a damning indictment of so much PGA

354
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: Tour golf, is that this kind of stuff feels the

355
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 3: nominalists to pro golf now when that the stuff we

356
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 3: just talked about were three majors, three of the more

357
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 3: exciting and anticipated events that it's anomalist to every other

358
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 3: week or many of the other weeks. So I think

359
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 3: there's a case to be made, like is it good

360
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: at the end? Did you get a good championship if

361
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: the winner just hit six iron wedge all the way around?

362
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 3: But that's what I think is exciting as we sit

363
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 3: here Tuesday, Wednesday. It might be, it might be a

364
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 3: good championship.

365
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: I think there's I think there's a little bit more

366
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: nuanced to that. Yeah, it's going to be I think

367
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 2: who managed it. Like the flip side of that is

368
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 2: who manages their game the best and then takes advantage

369
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:51,719
Speaker 2: of the opportunities where hitting a really good driver yields

370
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 2: a huge advantage. And you can think about the par fives.

371
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 2: The par three seem to be very, very challenging. There's

372
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of shit or chatter about

373
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: the new long par three.

374
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 3: Was it fifteen fifteen? It is fifteen, it's I think

375
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 3: it's two forty one can play towards two fifty ish.

376
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: The prevailing wind is generally downwind, so it won't play

377
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 3: too you know, they'll go all the way back. The

378
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 3: last Chance qualifier, the Monday thing, they played it at

379
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 3: two oh five because it was into the wind. They

380
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 3: played it into the wind again and had the practice

381
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 3: round teas all the way back. I watched Ricky the

382
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 3: U line and Stuart greenhand that the Irish am sort

383
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 3: of flabbergasted just trying to send send low stainers into

384
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 3: the wind two hundred and twenty yards thirty yards they were,

385
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 3: they were sort of incredulous. I look, Mackenzie and Ebert

386
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 3: Tom Mackenzie did the changes to this golf course. They

387
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 3: are significant, and they're substantial there. And I'm almost every hole.

388
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: I think every hole, whether they're small or large, there

389
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 3: are entirely new holes, like the par three's going to

390
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 3: be a subject of discourse. I think right now there's

391
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 3: general acceptance enthusiasm from the players. The media, I think

392
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: is pretty enthusiastic or accepting, and the fans are enthusiastic

393
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 3: about it.

394
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 2: Most importantly, the membership is enthusiastic because they push these changes.

395
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 2: That's the RNA.

396
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: Well, there's an entire undercurrent of is the RNA forcing

397
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 3: old clubs to make changes of their golf course to

398
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 3: accommodate afford a tournament championship. I think you'll hear the

399
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 3: RNA say the club wanted these changes. The club will

400
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 3: say they wanted these changes. Mackenzie Ebert are the firm

401
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 3: that keeps doing many of these Open courses, maybe all

402
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 3: of them, all of them. There's some of like some

403
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: eyebrow raising around that. I I think it's interesting that

404
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 3: Birkdale and I was thinking about this on the ride yesterday.

405
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 3: The Open is this championship where history is paramount, right.

406
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 3: It's got that's got the most history. It revels in it,

407
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: It claims it, it cherishes it, champions it. They put

408
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 3: forged by nature on the billboards and on the grand stands,

409
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 3: and we come to this place and for better or worse.

410
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 3: I almost I'm not sure this is a criticism, but

411
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 3: it's definitely observation where everything has changed. The most iconic

412
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 3: moment from twenty seventeen, which I think you would just

413
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 3: embrace and cherish this thirteen situation drop for speed. You

414
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 3: look there and it's like generators and fencing and all

415
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 3: this stuff. That's the fan village. He said, himself. The

416
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 3: greatest part of my career, the go get that is

417
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 3: it doesn't exist anymore. And the greatest shot arguably of

418
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 3: my career. The Part three, which was fourteen, is now gone.

419
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 3: That part three is gone and fifteen is now a

420
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 3: part three. The plaque that Arnol Palmer that exists for

421
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 3: Al Palmer whacking a six iron out of a bush

422
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 3: is still there, but it's not like hundred yards from

423
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 3: a green. So they have all these plaques and iconic

424
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 3: moments and they've just been lost.

425
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: And for this.

426
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 3: Open Championship that that claims its history, and at a

427
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 3: course that's had incredible champions with these weird, quirky iconic

428
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 3: moments that just can't don't exist or are not present barely.

429
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 3: It's kind of odd, but that is the lineage of

430
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 3: this of this venue is pretty perpetual, constant change. Since

431
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 3: it's now hosted its eleventh Open Championship.

432
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the thing with this this golf

433
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: course is that it wants to be a championship course. Yes,

434
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 2: it was in the bylaws, and you know they've they've

435
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: evolved to fit modern championships. And I think the Open

436
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: is a it is a growing modern championship. It needs

437
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 2: the most space of almost any championship short of maybe

438
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: a Ryder Cup. There's obviously immense pressure on the Open

439
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 2: to fund so many other programs and things that they

440
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: do in golf. And I think with Birkdale, you know,

441
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: I I don't think there's you know, ever been a

442
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 2: course so revered that it can't change.

443
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 3: Right.

444
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: This isn't the old course, this isn't Royal Port Rush

445
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 2: in terms of its loftiness and its standard of it.

446
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: And if it was, you just frankly wouldn't change it

447
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: to the extent that it's been changed.

448
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 5: You know.

449
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 3: I think it's interesting if you if you think about

450
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 3: about just what's going on with obviously Mackenzie and Ebert,

451
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: them working everywhere.

452
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: I mean like if you had, like if you were

453
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 2: you know, like I think like the way the way

454
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 2: to think about this is really like a you know,

455
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 2: one way you can think about it.

456
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: You can think about it many many ways.

457
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 2: There's like comfortability of working with one architect group as

458
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 2: you do all these changes. But I think the better,

459
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: you know, the better analogy and approach might be, Hey, yeah,

460
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 2: we have a we have an architect group that we

461
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 2: consult with and we talk to about all of our venues.

462
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 2: And that would be like a team doctor, you know,

463
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 2: for a for an NFL team, or a or a

464
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: soccer club or a football club as you would say.

465
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 2: And in England, but when when.

466
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 3: The star player gets hurt, they don't go to the

467
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 3: team doctor, they go to like the best orthopedic.

468
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 2: Surgeon in the in the world, you know. And in

469
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: the US it's obviously there was the long lineage of

470
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 2: James Anna.

471
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: Right, James, Yeah.

472
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 2: And like the reality, like I think the thing about

473
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: about what's going on in the UK is like it's

474
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 2: just this one singular echo chamber of of what's happening,

475
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 2: you know, of what, of who who gets to you know,

476
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 2: do any work on any of these venues. And because

477
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: of that, then you're just going to get kind of

478
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: uniformity across all of them. And listen, like I think,

479
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: like you saw you saw the comments about you know,

480
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 2: this is not me saying this, I'm not on the ground,

481
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: but uh, you know Scottie Scheffler talking about you know,

482
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 2: a golf course that's you know, steeped in Open Championship history,

483
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 2: and he said, the one thing I found interesting is

484
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 2: it so obvious as to which holes have been redone.

485
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 2: They look like they're not even on the same golf course.

486
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 2: You look at fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen, those green complexes

487
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: and the amount of slope they have of them are

488
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,719
Speaker 2: pretty severe and quite challenging. The fifth hole is kind

489
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: of like that. The seventh as well, it was pretty obvious, like, oh,

490
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 2: these are the holes that got redone because they look

491
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: like they are on a completely on a different golf course.

492
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 2: Those are the things that stood out to me.

493
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 3: Now, uh, how could you how I mean, does this

494
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 3: does this look like to you a different golf course?

495
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 3: It's a substanci I'm showing an Andrew Harvey tweet audience.

496
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm gonna put something up on the website.

497
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's clear that this was a modern design.

498
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 2: And I think that's the issue is like some of

499
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: this stuff like I'm not trying. Like part of doing

500
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 2: really good design work, especially renovation work, is having everything

501
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 2: tie in and feel like the same golf course. And

502
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: when Scotti Scheffler, who I would say has a very

503
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 2: sharp golf course mind on how to play golf courses,

504
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: how to attack them, is saying this about the aesthetics

505
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 2: of your work. That's probably not a good thing.

506
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 3: I would agree, But like I, I don't want to

507
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,239
Speaker 3: be me. I also want to I also want to like,

508
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 3: can I just.

509
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 2: Present something something on the contrary, this would be in support.

510
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 2: Rory said, Yeah, I think most of the changes are

511
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: very good. Most of the players a smith hole. I

512
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: like the change of the seventh. I like the change. Yeah,

513
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 2: some of the greens are maybe a bit a little

514
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 2: unnatural with the runoffs and sort of what they're trying

515
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: to do, try to do with the mounting, but it

516
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: creates a good challenge, and it creates options for if

517
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 2: you miss the green, whether it's a putter, a bump

518
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: and run, some guys might choose lob wedge. And I

519
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 2: think what we all know, even going back to Chicagog

520
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 2: a few weeks ago, when you give professional golfers options, uh,

521
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: and you can create a little bit of doubt in

522
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 2: their minds in terms of of should I play this

523
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 2: shot or that shot, that's when things start to get fun,

524
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 2: especially for the viewer, not so much for us. But

525
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 2: that's a sign of a good championship test. So like

526
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: this is the thing, it's it's it's a gray area.

527
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 3: It's it's a very different like walking around. I obviously

528
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 3: it's brown, and they're massive dunes and all those students

529
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: are not really in play. They like frame the holes

530
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 3: in America. You might call them like containment mounds or something.

531
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 3: Most of them are natural, but it does feel like

532
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 3: you're you're more of a at a a more typical

533
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 3: type professional championship test. Right the Nines return to the clubhouse,

534
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 3: you can kind of bounce around to different parts of

535
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 3: the golf course. I got it, you know, I was hesitant.

536
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 3: You know, there was so much silence to respond to that,

537
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 3: because like I I appreciate my my friends and the

538
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 3: golf architect, your community, but like we're here for a

539
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 3: major championship and I kind of just want to stuff

540
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 3: you guys in the locker if you're worried about the

541
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 3: freaking like whether they don't look natural or tie in,

542
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 3: Like I just that's gonna sound overly harsh. I love

543
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 3: that that's the charge, and that's the job, and you

544
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 3: are analyzing that painting, and that's a different work charge

545
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 3: in job than like what we're hearing and listening and

546
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 3: following for this week's championship. And I probably would think

547
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 3: if you want to play the answer for the members

548
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 3: fifty times, I was gonna say, if you plays fifty

549
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 3: times a summer or year, it's a little different from

550
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 3: all accounts. Five is a better hole than the old five?

551
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 3: Is it a good hole?

552
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 2: TVT?

553
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 3: I'm calling it very diet caffeine free. Like it's like

554
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 3: they looked at five at port Russian figure it out.

555
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 3: How can we make this five drivable like this? And

556
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 3: it's not like it's very diet caffeine free. I watched

557
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 3: guys today, I mean I'm talking it looked like they

558
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 3: hit a lob wedge off the tee. Of course they didn't,

559
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 3: but just these like poofballs up in the air and

560
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: then hit wedge and like cause it doesn't the drivea bowle,

561
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: it doesn't. It is drivable. It doesn't look very enticing.

562
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 3: There's just pumps and bumps and bunkers everywhere. And I

563
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 3: watched one guy hit a three wood and went right through,

564
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 3: right through the green, and so I don't know, our

565
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 3: guy's gonna hit like seven iron pitching wedge on this

566
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 3: big traumatic new par for it. It seems like that

567
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 3: would be the smart thing if you're down a lot

568
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 3: of strokes on Sunday, maybe you send driver. But it's

569
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: apparently a much better hole, or guys are generally saying

570
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 3: it's still a better hole. You can see down to

571
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 3: the green from the from the tea box seven shortened

572
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 3: better hole, they took bunkers out, they shortened the course. Generally,

573
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 3: the fifteenth part three is probably the ruling on that

574
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 3: one at the end of the day that you're going

575
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 3: to come back with a verdict of guilty. Probably, I

576
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 3: mean McGinley. Paul mc giley's you know who wants to

577
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 3: be an architect around these parts as well, is saying.

578
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 2: Very very active. So this is this is always fascinating.

579
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 2: I thought Brandal, you know, dipped his toe in this

580
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: in the water with Pieza years ago. Now mcgibley's mcginley's

581
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 2: very active golf architect in the UK.

582
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 4: And so.

583
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 3: He's saying, you know, there's talk that the RNA they

584
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 3: might want to, you know, the RNA is pushing He

585
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 3: gratefully criticizing, like the RNA, you know, is pushing too

586
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 3: many changes. I think his criticism was more for the

587
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 3: r There's this whole undercurrent of like who's asking for this,

588
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 3: Who's claiming who's disavowing, And so he said, RNA is

589
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 3: pushing too many changes on these road of courses. And fifteen,

590
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 3: you know already fifteen is already bad hole. They're going

591
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 3: to redo it after it's over with, like they're suggesting this.

592
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 3: So that's an early you know exhibit for the road

593
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 3: right redone immediately after the opening. See, it's just pros

594
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 3: aren't going to use the ground. They don't. They want

595
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 3: to know what's my number? What do I have to

596
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 3: fly it to? And so that one doesn't seem like

597
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 3: it'll be good or a final joke, I think, But

598
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 3: if these holes are better than they were, this is

599
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 3: it's a championship test. It charges to be a championship test.

600
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 3: It's you know, it's gonna be in great shape, great condition,

601
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 3: which doesn't speak can overshadow maybe the substantive changes or

602
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 3: lack thereof, and that's probably gonna happen. It might be

603
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 3: a nice little you know, shaving creer or like a

604
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 3: cloak over this. I just like, I guess if the

605
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 3: biggest problem is it's not it's that doesn't look natural enough.

606
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 3: That's just we're just picking too many knits at this point.

607
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 3: You know, and and that's fine. I understand that that's that's.

608
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 2: Not Scott, not me. The I will I will say,

609
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 2: I think this is some of all parts off worse.

610
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 2: There's not like there's no you know, it's kind of

611
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 2: nice because honestly, like you know, when we went to Troon,

612
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: the post is stamp was totally overdone. Right, you get

613
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,479
Speaker 2: to certain places and there's this there's this iconic hole.

614
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: You know that they're gonna get beaten to death by

615
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 2: the end of the week. The nice thing about this is.

616
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 3: It's a it is by all intensive purposes, a fantastic

617
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 3: like totality.

618
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 2: Venue for the Open. Right, if it's a golf course

619
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 2: that is a good test. It's a like a some

620
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 2: of all parts and it's gonna just let the golfers

621
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 2: go out and play golf, you know, roll the ball out. Now.

622
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 2: Do I wish there was a little bit more pizaz

623
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 2: to it?

624
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 5: Yeah?

625
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 2: Do I wish there was a little bit more quirk

626
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 2: Open Championship quirk where you know, the ball a few

627
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 2: more bad bounces. You know, it's the fairest test of

628
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 2: all and that's because the fairways are flat and the

629
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 2: and the greens are flat. You know, I wish there's

630
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 2: a little bit more quirk to this one, but I'm

631
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 2: going to be excited to sit back and watch it,

632
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 2: and I think there's probably a lot more than than

633
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: the eye is gonna see watching telecast coverage, uh from

634
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 2: from as far.

635
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was my only that the amount of like

636
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 3: angst and kind of fear I heard about all the changes.

637
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 3: I don't know that matches, and maybe some of it's

638
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 3: just the condition that the course is in. Shout out

639
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: to Sean McClain, superintendent. Sounds like he's doing marvelous, marvelous work,

640
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 3: especially making some of like the blow up bunkers. Shackelford

641
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 3: was pointing a few of those out to me as

642
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 3: we walked around, like how how good a job mclashaw,

643
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 3: mclan the super is doing around here.

644
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 4: I just.

645
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 3: It just didn't It didn't the the sort of the

646
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 3: pitchfork thing that didn't didn't meet match the reality of

647
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 3: what exists this week. And so we'll see. That's not

648
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 3: suggest you know, it's gonna end great. There's gonna be

649
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 3: criticism as as the X you should plays out, So

650
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 3: we'll see. I think there's a fair question about is

651
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 3: it going to be great if guys just hit Iron,

652
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 3: it's bringing everybody in. But do you need driver to

653
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 3: be a significant part of a major championship.

654
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 2: I think, you know that's a that's a good question, right,

655
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: It could be different, right, you know. I think we've

656
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 2: seen a variety of driver tests this year. You obviously

657
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 2: have Augusta that's pretty fairly open. That's it. That's his

658
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 2: driver of a heavy course though, is you're going to

659
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 2: find right where you have to drive it pretty well,

660
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 2: and you hit a lot of drivers because they've been

661
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 2: able to keep up with the times. You know, Iron,

662
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 2: the Mink, I think pose a lot of questions and

663
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 2: and Joseph and the the analytics crowd would probably push

664
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 2: that wide misses weren't penalized enough, but it was. It

665
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 2: was so firm with the slope of some of those

666
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 2: fairways that it was really hard to hit a lot

667
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: of fairways. And then you got in the rough and

668
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 2: so that was like your kind of narrow, thick rough

669
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 2: setup Shinnacock super achievable to hit a lot of fairways

670
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 2: really like you could conceivably hit every single one on

671
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 2: a day and pass the test. This I kind of

672
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 2: like the variety of this week, like not being super

673
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 2: driver heavy, it being narrow, and a lot of questions

674
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 2: of do I lay back or push up? I think

675
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 2: it's a pretty when you consider it with the overarching

676
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 2: bevy of courses, it fits in really well. Would this

677
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 2: be great if it was in the same year as Pebble.

678
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 2: I think that would be a little bit more redundant

679
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 2: with a golf course that chose to test the drivers,

680
00:38:48,320 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 2: you know, but it's nice as a standalone piece here. Uh,

681
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,479
Speaker 2: do you guys do you want to get to five

682
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 2: guys to monitor?

683
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? Please? Are you doing top five players in the

684
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 3: world or just five guys to monitor?

685
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 2: Five guys?

686
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 3: To her? I wanted to do the exercise of who

687
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 3: are your top five guys?

688
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 2: The players in the world too? All right, let's do

689
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 2: five guys to monitor five guys this week for various reasons.

690
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 3: Okay, who do we got? Scottie Scheffler, Scotty Scheffler world

691
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 3: number one. I just don't want him to be a

692
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 3: bagel boy for the Year of Majors? Is that true?

693
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 3: You really don't want him to be a bagel but

694
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 3: you're rooting for him to win this week?

695
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 2: For content, it would be great if you bagel boy.

696
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 3: He sounded like Robert Griffin the third up there, Know

697
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: your Why, Know your why today talking about his why

698
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 3: and what it motivates him or or why he's doing

699
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 3: what he does, getting you know, philosophical again at the

700
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 3: day is during his pre tournament press conference.

701
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 2: We're all gonna do.

702
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 3: We're gonna have KVV come in to talk about some

703
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 3: of the press conference meanderings here in a little bit.

704
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 3: How do you feel if we have to rank the

705
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 3: top five players in the world, is here number one?

706
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 2: He's my number one?

707
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 3: What about you? Yes, I mean the first, he's second

708
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 3: and everything. I'm not Just come on, he hasn't fallen

709
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 3: off a cliff PJ.

710
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 6: Yes, number number one with a bullet, no offense to

711
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 6: anybody else.

712
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think like the Miscut, you could construe

713
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 3: this anyway if he.

714
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 2: May, if he goes on to win or deep in

715
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 2: contention the Miscut, everybody's going to take a victory lap

716
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 2: Miscuts the best thing that could happened. If he plays mediocrely,

717
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: it was everybody's going to go. The writing was on

718
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 2: the wall. Scottish wasn't playing that great.

719
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 3: It's fair the guy you can play both sides of

720
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 3: the coin. Sounds like he enjoyed his weekend off though

721
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 3: it was nice to have a few extra days.

722
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: I thought his comment about you know, kind of contention

723
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 2: and and how it piles up and it's and it's

724
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 2: similar to getting deep in the playoffs year after year

725
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 2: in other sports where it just wears you out.

726
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

727
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 2: I thought that was very, very understandable and one of

728
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 2: the better ways that he's expressed, like how hard it

729
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 2: is to do media. Everybody so always asking and this

730
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 2: is one of the heaviest of the head that wears

731
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 2: the crown. For Scotty and Rory, they're really the only

732
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 2: two players in the world that after every round there's

733
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 2: somebody waiting to do media with them. And I think

734
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 2: that's I enjoyed that from Scotty. He you know, he

735
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 2: he basically said he was worn out out from all

736
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 2: the time contending and it was a weekend off.

737
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 3: I mean, we've kind of seen this developing throughout the year.

738
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 3: Always the autographs, always the media. He talked about cameras

739
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 3: in his grill when he's just on a Sunday before

740
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 3: the championship week starts. Now, some of it can be

741
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 3: a drag. Some of it's a nice perk though, Like

742
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 3: today Andy, he got to return the trophy in this

743
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 3: nice little Mercedes, return the trophy, like got the cruise

744
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 3: in and return the trophy in this great ceremony and

745
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 3: a very comfortable Mercedes. Now that's a perk. So yeah,

746
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 3: there is, there is, you know a lot of that. God,

747
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 3: he's out of that hashbag, that's true. I mean that

748
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 3: was the problem with the Scottish.

749
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 2: I know he doesn't have that problem this week because

750
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 2: he's in a nice, comfy Mercedes.

751
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 3: What's your next guy to monitor?

752
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 2: Next guy to monitor? World number two? Rory McElroy. I

753
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 2: mean we I talked about this on the Eggpod a

754
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 2: little bit, but it bears repeating. If he gets the

755
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 2: seven majors this year, he is he is not only

756
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 2: gonna be the block up the best European like seven majors,

757
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 2: it's no question who the best European ever was, But

758
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 2: if he gets the seven majors squarely in his sights,

759
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 2: is a legit case for the unequivocally being on Mount

760
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 2: Rushmore of golf, like the Mount Rushmore of pro golfers,

761
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 2: like there are not many spots on that and it's

762
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: hard to think of who he might bump out, but

763
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 2: if he gets to seven, then squarely in his sites

764
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 2: is eight or nine majors or maybe even ten majors

765
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 2: in his career. I mean, there have been so few

766
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 2: points who have won multiple majors in multiple years. He

767
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 2: would have the ability to do that as well. Just

768
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 2: I think this is I think he's playing well. I

769
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: think he's in as good of a mental space as

770
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 2: he's been in a long time. And you know, they

771
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 2: you know, he's at this stage where he's already accomplished

772
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 2: everything and now anything he adds on top of it

773
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 2: is just gravy, and it just and he's gotten to that,

774
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 2: you know. I feel like six majors is actually the

775
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 2: spot where any major you add on top of that

776
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 2: is like remarkably consequential in terms of where you are.

777
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 2: Not that you know, we learned today Scott and Rory

778
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 2: are not legacy guys. They are not driven by legacy.

779
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 3: Yes, that became a theme which I I don't think

780
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 3: it was legacy with being quite portrayed the right way.

781
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 3: It's like, do you care what people think about you

782
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 3: when you're no longer present to care? It's kind of like, no,

783
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 3: I don't. I think that's different than caring about your legacy.

784
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 3: You think we'rey will be able to play with wind

785
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 3: off the left on the range?

786
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 2: That is it coming off the left?

787
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 3: It has been God, what do you remember hear talking

788
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 3: about Scotland? Like did you hear them the Renaissance? Renaissance? Like,

789
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 3: I just there's a few that was supposed to be

790
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 3: it's like kind of moving around, but yes, it's kind

791
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 3: of incredible every time Quail this thing that apparently puts

792
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 3: his swing out of whack. But yeah, that was that

793
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 3: was the plan. Was supposed to be off the left

794
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 3: like pretty much for a substantial portion of the week

795
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 3: on the driving range. But yeah, I love that that

796
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 3: keeps coming up. So it's the hillside range as they're

797
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 3: using this week. Was your EP?

798
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask this guy made my list. I

799
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 2: wanted to know what the buzz on the ground is

800
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 2: for one of our heroes at the shotgun start, Matthew Jordan.

801
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 2: It's a home game. He's an hour down the road

802
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 2: from an hour down the road, and you know he

803
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 2: is he is a true links master. Have you heard

804
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 2: people talking about Matthew Jordan on the ground.

805
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 3: Palpable, buzz, palpable. Matthew Jordan. Buzz, it's the Lynx Master

806
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 3: sitting pretty with the burned out Birkdale to shoot you know,

807
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 3: nice little sixty eight to seventy two, just keep it

808
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 3: steady in between those two guardrails. I happened upon Matthew

809
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 3: Jordan today. He was playing with the bumblebee. I'm sure

810
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 3: will warm your heart. He was with Andy Sullivan, saw

811
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 3: them out there on the front nine, caught them on

812
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,280
Speaker 3: four for a little bit. Had a giant The amount

813
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 3: of people just following every single group, it's insane, the

814
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 3: contingents for like Matthew Jordan. I think Matthew Baldwin was

815
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 3: with the Andy Sullivan. Everybody, Cameron John like just people.

816
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 3: There's just there's fifty people inside the ropes with every

817
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 3: groups in a while. But yes, palpable buzz for Matthew Jordan.

818
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 3: Must mind love that love that he has. So he

819
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 3: finished T ten twenty four, twenty five. He slipped off

820
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 3: last year. I feel like it got too far under par.

821
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 3: This feels like a Matthew Jordan week.

822
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 2: If I was I mean like.

823
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 3: If I if I was a betting man, I'd be

824
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 3: looking at those top twenty odds. Yes, like I'd set

825
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 3: I'd set my personal expectations line at like my over

826
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 3: under for him where I would really struggles, like T

827
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 3: fourteen and a half. I might go to top ten

828
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 3: just to try to get that value hashtag value. Uh,

829
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 3: just plush hopefully cracks top ten. Gotta be bullish on

830
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 3: Matt Jordan. Who's else do you have to monitor?

831
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 2: We got a Eugenie Eugenio Chakara. There's been a lot

832
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 2: of buzz about like Patrick Reed and what he did

833
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 2: in the early part of the year, and I think

834
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 2: that was it was awesome to see where, you know,

835
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 2: he leaves Live and he goes out and he just

836
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,720
Speaker 2: beats up on the Deep World Tour right away, takes

837
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 2: care of what he needs to get done to get

838
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 2: back to the tour. Chakara, I don't think people necessarily

839
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 2: knew if he would ever do, if he would get there.

840
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 2: But he was really the first player to leave and

841
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 2: had some very strong statements about Live, you know, some

842
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 2: stuff like there was no you know, there's no fostering

843
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 2: of young talent. At the end of the day, it

844
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 2: was just money and he you know, he left and

845
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 2: he's had to work his way up and he's going

846
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 2: to be going to the PGA Tour, and I'm excited

847
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 2: to see him play in this major. He's obviously been

848
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 2: playing really good golf worldwide and I'm excited to see.

849
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 2: You know, a young player that listen't like when he

850
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 2: was in college, was thought of along the alliance of

851
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 2: Chris Goddrup Ludwig in that same class, and see what

852
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 2: he does this week.

853
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 3: By all accounts a pretty disagreeable fella, like he was,

854
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 3: oh yeah, not the best locker room guy, Oky State

855
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 3: or the Fireball, so like, it's not it's not like,

856
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:16,760
Speaker 3: you know, make a martyr out of him, But it's

857
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 3: really impressive how how well he's kind of carved his

858
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 3: own path since leaving. Who else do you.

859
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: Have, last, but not least the hometown boy this is

860
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 2: This could be kattenap Call the Week, but Tommy Fleetwood

861
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 2: can handle the hometown major pressure. I think this is

862
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 2: a really hard situation to be in.

863
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I don't think it's easy. It's it's you're

864
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 3: kind of used to being a star star adjacent, but

865
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 3: you're really really good and you can just go out

866
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 3: and play your own game and let look like we

867
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 3: just talked about with Scotty and all the obligations and

868
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 3: stuff that he has to do. Let Scotty and Rory

869
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 3: and those guys take that weight and sort of that

870
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 3: is a all on him this week. And in addition

871
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 3: to those guys, it's a different It's not to say

872
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 3: he's just some random but it is a little bit

873
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 3: of a different microscope this week. That said, it feels

874
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 3: like people are really trying to will this whole England

875
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 3: World Cup Tommy Fleetwood Sunday double into existence, which you know,

876
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 3: could mean Argentina wins Wednesday in time. This is the

877
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,399
Speaker 3: cut because people are really pushing it too hard, quite frankly,

878
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 3: but it would be great. Would love to be here

879
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 3: and see it be.

880
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 2: The worst outcome would be so England loses to Argentina

881
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 2: and then like who wins the open? Would it be

882
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 2: like a French player wins the open like Victor Perez?

883
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:50,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be. That could be that. I don't

884
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 3: know what who is England's like chief rival is. That's

885
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 3: probably getting into some you know, historic issues, you know,

886
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 3: real sort of open woman or partially healed wounds. I

887
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 3: don't know. I don't want to get into Ai says,

888
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,240
Speaker 3: who is England's chief rival? Are we talking like who

889
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 3: is in history or like soccer, because like you know,

890
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 3: there's probably some Irish people like Peo full another continents

891
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 3: like Africa, I take issue. I don't know, there's all

892
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 3: kinds of people that could you know, rear their rear

893
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 3: their head there. Yeah, that's a that's a thorny subject.

894
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 3: So I suppose France winning the World Cup would be

895
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 3: the worst, you know, losing to Argentina that I guess

896
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 3: they have a history with Argentina losing heartbreaks essentially you know,

897
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 3: the hand of God and then the other one something

898
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 3: in the seventies, I forget the name. There's also a

899
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 3: cheeky name for it.

900
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:53,240
Speaker 2: It says Germany for football is the most historically loaded rival.

901
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:58,280
Speaker 3: Okay, is there a German? Oh, Tiger Christiansen. Maybe he wins.

902
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 3: Tiger Christiansen wins and uh yeah, there we go.

903
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 2: As we're heading into this major I think I asked

904
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 2: you PJ this and I'm curious what you guys think.

905
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 2: Who would you say are the top five your personal

906
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 2: top five players in the world, because I I do

907
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 2: feel like after Scotty and Rory, it's like a pot

908
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 2: prairie of just players.

909
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,720
Speaker 3: Pot Piri or Pope pri could be both.

910
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 2: What's the difference.

911
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 3: I don't know, Mishmosh. I think there's a difference, but

912
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 3: we'll just roll with it. Pot Piri. It is Scotty

913
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 3: and it is still Rory. Can we just can we

914
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 3: dispose of that debate? Like that's like you have I

915
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 3: can see Peach putting somebody else in there.

916
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,919
Speaker 6: Uh no, I'm I'm okay, you know, to tear down

917
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,240
Speaker 6: down to fourth in the world now officially, so it's okay,

918
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 6: I'm okay.

919
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 2: I mean I forgot that we have someone that's not

920
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,280
Speaker 2: actually you know, gonna gonna vote with any.

921
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 6: Sort of I'll tell you this. I did not have

922
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 6: him on my top five.

923
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 5: I didn't. I did not have Camera Young.

924
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 2: Isn't it interesting how like it changes because like the Master, Yeah,

925
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 2: it's fascinating to me, Like I think, just like what

926
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 2: got me thinking about this is like to me, I've

927
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 2: never felt more in flux about three through like twelve

928
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 2: in golf. Like where you if you said cam Young's three,

929
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 2: I wouldn't really have a problem with it, right if

930
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 2: you said if you you know, if you said justin

931
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 2: Rose is three, I'd be like, okay.

932
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 3: Lamnya was peppering me with it's a great week for Cam,

933
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 3: like really good. He lit up burkedale. I thought he

934
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 3: was talking about Cam Smith quite honestly, and he got

935
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 3: really offended.

936
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 5: That's not good. Don't like that. Not a huge definitely

937
00:53:58,719 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 5: not a huge fan.

938
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 3: Former leagues master, the accomplished Cam to be completely honest.

939
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 5: I mean true technically.

940
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 3: Players and a major players and a major. All right,

941
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 3: So we're going Scotty and Rory. I think suggesting otherwise

942
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:22,959
Speaker 3: is silly. I don't want to Yeah again, I don't

943
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,919
Speaker 3: want to bring back the unnatural green looking but that's

944
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 3: like trying to, you know, say, like the whatever, what's

945
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 3: the point of doing this. It's Scotty and Rory. So

946
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 3: who's third?

947
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 5: I had? I had Matthew Fitzpatrick.

948
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 3: It's who I had to.

949
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say right now, Wyndham Clark.

950
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 3: Okay, that's a good, good selection. I like that.

951
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 2: I had him fourth, I had him four, all right,

952
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 2: I'll take fifty fourth. And now I think it's fascinating.

953
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 2: Who's your number five?

954
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 3: I'm taking the burly boy from New jer I think

955
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Chris.

956
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 5: Gott Up MVP Lockstep.

957
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 3: Is that is that extreme recency bias? Is that like

958
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 3: over indexing on the last you know, two weeks? Perhaps,

959
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 3: But the ask was who are the best five players

960
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,320
Speaker 3: in the world right now? And I'm gonna say goller

961
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 3: Up is fifth.

962
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 2: I'll just be different. I'll take Calin Morikawa. And I'm

963
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 2: just saying that because I think it's a great week

964
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 2: for Colin mark.

965
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 3: Out, great week for Colin Markau.

966
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 2: And then I'll if he wins.

967
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 5: I think it's a good week for the bus.

968
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 6: Would you put the bust five over over Chris?

969
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 3: Bus? Bus? Is my buses like twelve for me? Did

970
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 3: either of you consider John Rahm for this exercise?

971
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 2: I know I did. I Mean, this is what's I

972
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 2: think fascinating about is like, you know you have Cam Young,

973
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 2: Rom Morikawa, who's who's played exceptionally well this year, Fleetwood,

974
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 2: Justin Rose, Victor Hoblin, like all of those names you

975
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 2: could you could get in here on top of the

976
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 2: ones that we listed.

977
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 3: It is a pretty big field. I it was interesting

978
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,280
Speaker 3: KVLL to come here and talk about it in a minute.

979
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 3: But asking Rob about Doubt today and He's like, no,

980
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 3: I'm good. I mean, what about Yeah, of course we

981
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 3: all doubt things. He seemed happy at Chipper Not. I

982
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 3: don't know. Maybe the live situation is resolving itself. But

983
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 3: you know, Scotland, he said he played great. It was

984
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 3: just the first eleven holes and last four holes.

985
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 5: Well, you know that's a big chunk.

986
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 3: It's a semi two old tournament.

987
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 6: Didn't play you know, well for twenty three percent of

988
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 6: the tournament.

989
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:49,760
Speaker 2: Twenty percent of the tournament. I was bad.

990
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 3: But I mean it's like, you know, one of these

991
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 3: quarterbacks who's like a trick or tree quarterback.

992
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 2: I threw for like i'd ordered love.

993
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I three three pick sixes, but three for three

994
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy five yards and three touchdowns too. I

995
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, I guess it was a good game.

996
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 3: Uh so, yeah, he said he played week. You know

997
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 3: who might be actually that corresting is Baker who Baker Mayfield?

998
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,479
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the pick six problem, the pick he could

999
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 3: have some Yeah that can creep up.

1000
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:28,439
Speaker 2: That's the real version.

1001
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:31,439
Speaker 5: But he'll put up numbers for you'll. The yards will

1002
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 5: be good.

1003
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:33,919
Speaker 2: So that's I.

1004
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 3: Think that's an interesting exercise right now.

1005
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:40,439
Speaker 2: Hey, have you seen somebody on the grounds. I wanted

1006
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 2: to ask you about sure what this is a storyline

1007
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 2: nobody's talking about. Please have you see this Tom Slowman fellow.

1008
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 3: I haven't seen him, but not because of lack of effort,

1009
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 3: just because I wanted to see what the slow Man

1010
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 3: looks like and if.

1011
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,919
Speaker 2: He's cruised in the website. What a head of hair.

1012
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 5: Look at that mob, I mean it's incredible.

1013
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is well coifed.

1014
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 2: I mean he's picking up, he's English, he's picking up

1015
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 2: right where Robert Rock left off.

1016
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 3: We've got We've got Robert Rock. Uh you know, just

1017
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 3: he's passed the torch. Slow Man saw Robert Rock at

1018
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 3: something recently? Maybe the PGA dashing is ever still no hat?

1019
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 3: Just absolutely why would you ever wear a hat?

1020
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 2: If?

1021
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah?

1022
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely? All right, Tom Slowman passing the torch? All right?

1023
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 3: Love that? Do you want to get into tea times

1024
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 3: Favorite worst tea times from the first first two days?

1025
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 3: Of course one of the amazing delights? Are we good

1026
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 3: with our top five? I think that's a great exercise.

1027
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 3: Now we just talked about how this opened is extremely

1028
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 3: open by the chance of you know, driver maybe taking

1029
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 3: out of hands and it's bringing a lot of different

1030
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 3: guys into the field, and you know, maybe you see

1031
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 3: a little Zach Johnson type poof baller, come, come waddling

1032
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 3: in and take the reins. But I think it's a

1033
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 3: fascinating study right now. And he's not playing, I know,

1034
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 3: I know.

1035
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 2: Is he exactly?

1036
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he is exactly winning it asterisk Golf's most

1037
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 3: recent major winner. Zach Johnson not in the field. That's

1038
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,439
Speaker 3: a storyline nobody's talking about. Huh.

1039
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 2: This feels like a legitimate place that he could content.

1040
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 5: He's playing well, like legitimately.

1041
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 3: Deer winning the Calling Companies Championship.

1042
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 5: He was just win the Calling Company ship. He blitzed

1043
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 5: the Coaling Company Championship.

1044
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 2: Uh, why is he not playing?

1045
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. Sam Burns is playing.

1046
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 3: He just had a child. There was big you know,

1047
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 3: feel bad about ust w D. But he laid down

1048
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 3: his sword for his countryman. Did you see that? You

1049
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 3: know who first alternate was after the Monday last chance

1050
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:05,479
Speaker 3: qualifier is Potty so Oustin out patty In. He laid

1051
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 3: down for Potty. But that's Usty half of the back issues.

1052
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 3: Maybe not traveling with the mattress these days.

1053
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 2: This could be a fun week to watch Potty.

1054
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 3: Elaborate just driver.

1055
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 2: I can see him just shipping it on every.

1056
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 3: Holes at the record it does seem based on the

1057
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 3: last chance qualifier. And I'm not saying that's the sample

1058
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 3: size we should use to predict the week. It was

1059
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 3: like half and half, a lot of mixture of shipping

1060
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 3: and laying back like this number five I just said,

1061
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 3: is insane to drive like half the half the field

1062
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 3: drove it or tried to drive it. Half the field

1063
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 3: day back mix a birdies from both spots. All right,

1064
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 3: good week for Potty coming in for a Ousti's spot.

1065
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, ZJ should be one of the players. You shouldn't,

1066
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 3: you know. Unfortunately an alternate or somebody got bumped up

1067
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 3: the list.

1068
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 2: But he's he's not on my tea times watch for that.

1069
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,479
Speaker 3: Batter, Okay, he can't be there.

1070
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 2: Lose your what are some times? What was the time

1071
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 2: that caught your eye?

1072
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:19,959
Speaker 3: I like the World Cup cheekiness in the eight twenty five.

1073
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 3: Of course, one of the great great luxuries of the

1074
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 3: Open Championship is everybody rolls off one. One hundred and

1075
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 3: fifty six man field all off one from six thirty

1076
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 3: five to four to twenty one local, just just trackling

1077
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 3: home before ten pm. I like the eight twenty five

1078
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 3: tea time of on hell Aora Victor Perez and the

1079
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 3: teo Pulcini just absolutely electric. Trio. Could be a World

1080
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 3: Cup preview. Argentini, Argentinian, Frenchman and a Spaniard. Obviously plenty

1081
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 3: of English representation throughout the field. So I really liked

1082
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 3: that trio. Cheeky, that's that's the RNA's version of cheeky.

1083
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 2: That's a great one. I you know, I just whoops

1084
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 2: wrong one.

1085
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:11,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna go your storylines. Nobody's talking.

1086
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 2: Here we go, you are, he gets in the mix.

1087
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 2: This is just the influencers are gonna be all over

1088
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 2: this one. Great golf swing, young stud from Spain. Just

1089
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 2: a matter of time before he's everybody's favorite golfer to

1090
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 2: talk about.

1091
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I tried to get in early on that,

1092
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 3: but I think I'm out. What else do you have?

1093
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 2: I mean I went right out of the pretty out early.

1094
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 2: I think it's the third time off Ryan Fox proper

1095
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 2: player Andrew Novak, which you know it's two weeks still

1096
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 2: training camp reports, Uh so this is you know, this

1097
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 2: is his time to play golf and not worry about

1098
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 2: his podcast yep. And and then Matthew Jordan.

1099
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 3: I like that, that's gonna be getting you started. I'm

1100
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 3: gonna be over there with my cup of coffee. Uh

1101
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 3: from Uh yeah, I like that. Next one. I really

1102
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 3: enjoy the Ben Griffin Hedeki bat Siam Minwu Lee.

1103
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 4: Mixture.

1104
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 3: I think that's an interesting especially when you talk about

1105
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 3: styles make fights and styles, there might be a variety

1106
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 3: of styles this week that can play. I think that's

1107
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 3: an interesting, interesting cocktail at the speedboy min Woe, who's

1108
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 3: shown a decent adaptation for links golf based on his

1109
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 3: work at the Scottish.

1110
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 2: I've got a theory that the RNA's kind of been

1111
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 2: jamming Scotti all week. And it started, you know, I

1112
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 2: really really started when I saw his pairing where he

1113
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 2: got paired with Tyrell. Nothing wrong with getting paired with Tyrell,

1114
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 2: but then he got paired with Bryson. This is not how.

1115
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 3: You should you should treat your your your you know,

1116
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:05,479
Speaker 3: defending champion Golfer of the year.

1117
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 2: And then on top of that, look at this headshot

1118
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 2: that they've been touting out.

1119
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:15,480
Speaker 3: I mean, what do they what do you want them

1120
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 3: to do? It's this victory shot with the Clara jug

1121
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 3: do you want them to just isn't this the one

1122
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 3: that Taylor made photoshopped with more hair forehead.

1123
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 6: Act they got they got in there with a little

1124
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 6: paint rushing photoshot.

1125
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 3: Taylor base to be not the RNA. Not the r

1126
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 3: RNA is only about forged by nature. They would never

1127
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 3: paint rush, but they would never They keep things natural,

1128
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 3: forged by nature. That's his hair, hairline. So yeah, I

1129
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 3: just I just gotta ask, I gotta ask, is does.

1130
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 2: The RNA have it out for Scottie. I think that

1131
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 2: I peaked my interest and started this theory.

1132
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 3: I mean, Bryson kind of I want to say element there.

1133
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 3: He's just he's at the far end of the range

1134
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 3: with seventy five different people. He's kind of, I don't

1135
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 3: want to say under the radar, but a little bit,

1136
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 3: a little bit. It's just a you know, he's miscuts

1137
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 3: three times in a row. I think he's doing a

1138
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 3: press conference now, no press conference. You know, he's just

1139
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 3: kind of flying under the radar. Bryson. Not a lot

1140
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 3: of word on Bryson, but I wouldn't want to be

1141
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 3: paired with them if I were Scottie Shuffler. Another tea time?

1142
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 3: I like Keegan Bradley, Corey Connors and Casey Jarvis. You

1143
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 3: like this, Keegan, Corey and Casey sounds like the first

1144
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:47,920
Speaker 3: three men in the lineup of a little league like

1145
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 3: you know, twelve U Nashville area little League team, Keegan,

1146
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 3: Corey and Casey. I like that. Seems like they were

1147
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 3: getting getting cheeky with that one. What's another tea time

1148
01:05:58,880 --> 01:05:59,160
Speaker 3: you like?

1149
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of you put speef with with

1150
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 2: the local boy and then you hammer ram in there.

1151
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 2: That's gonna be a fun time to watch. That's kind

1152
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 2: of my star studded. That's where I'm waking up is

1153
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 2: right in that zone. Rouss Bus, Rose and Hovelin go

1154
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 2: out and you got Scheffler, Hatton and Deshambo. There's always

1155
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 2: like two big waves of times for the for the open.

1156
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 2: This is the big wave of the on the front.

1157
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 3: End, typically late in the four am our eastern five am,

1158
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 3: and then yeah, like nine to thirty am Eastern. Okay,

1159
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 3: what's another one you like?

1160
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 2: I mean, how about Darren Clark, Adrian Saddier and the

1161
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 2: burnt cheese Worker.

1162
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I had this potentially start I didn't know

1163
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 3: if I was going to get there. I'm glad you

1164
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 3: went there first. I know he's doing well on the

1165
01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 3: Champions Tour, but just Darren Clark is just so out

1166
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,720
Speaker 3: of place on these ranges and just walking around. But

1167
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 3: you know, Zach can't play, can't post, but Derrick Clark

1168
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 3: is just thrumbling. Hey, it could be a good week

1169
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 3: for getting out of an abboco.

1170
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 1: You know.

1171
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good one. I like Todd Kim, Billy

1172
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 3: Hoe and Mason Howell. Could be a different kind of

1173
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 3: week for Mason Howell.

1174
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 2: I love Billy Hoe's headshot. He's got the hands like this.

1175
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 3: They make him usually do.

1176
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 6: I will say huge disappointment to this point Tuesday at

1177
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 6: three o'clock that the RNA has not updated the twenty

1178
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 6: twenty six head shots because all of these, the hands

1179
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 6: and the standing cross arm, these are all from last year.

1180
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 6: We need.

1181
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I feel like you might hear something from

1182
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 2: the Gerard McNeely.

1183
01:07:56,320 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 3: Pooge like that one. Yep, gott heap burns Adam Scott.

1184
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm just over like just leaning in on all things.

1185
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 3: Got her up right now and that wins it for me.

1186
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 3: But that's a very good group with some game players.

1187
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 3: Can I ask you a question please?

1188
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 2: The grouping of can't Ley Burger and Nico at Savaria.

1189
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 3: I'd say the most about I mean, it's it's a

1190
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:29,120
Speaker 3: total jamming of Nico in my opinion, So.

1191
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:30,759
Speaker 2: It doesn't say the most about Nico.

1192
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 3: He doesn't belong in that group. Oh yea belong I

1193
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 3: don't know not what two absolute grumpy American boys I think, right,

1194
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 3: I don't want to say they're absolute, but you know

1195
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 3: it's just a little two different that they're similar. Those

1196
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 3: two are similar in certain ways and Nico is not.

1197
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:55,640
Speaker 3: What do you think that question stands up?

1198
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 2: I think, who goes about.

1199
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 3: What? That? He's fallen from grace?

1200
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was like a bona fide top eight player

1201
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 2: for eight years. So now he's playing with Daniel Berger,

1202
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:15,639
Speaker 2: who's you know, he's a fine player, but he's never

1203
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:19,560
Speaker 2: really regained you know, where he was with pre injuries,

1204
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:22,600
Speaker 2: and Nico Ettravaria.

1205
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 3: It jumped out to him. It was like whoa, whoa,

1206
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,799
Speaker 3: that's like Phil playing with Kurt Kiddiyama at the Old Course,

1207
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 3: like when they were just trying to bury him.

1208
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 2: A couple other couple other big groups you have cab,

1209
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:40,600
Speaker 2: young Windy Clark and Ludwig.

1210
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 3: It's a good one.

1211
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 2: I'm worried Ludwig might lose some of his advantage this

1212
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 2: week because everybody's got fences.

1213
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 3: Shane Lawery, Lowry Rye and Kopka, it's kind of like,

1214
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:00,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, they're kind of corrupting the good the

1215
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 3: nice young englishman, you know, Lowry dropping f bombs and

1216
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:07,679
Speaker 3: you know, getting surly, and then you know Brooksy it's

1217
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:12,599
Speaker 3: just sort of big bad Brooks. Allegedly that's his swaggering.

1218
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 4: He is.

1219
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,600
Speaker 3: He's just Dad Brooks right now at this point. But

1220
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 3: Aaron Raie is just known as the nicest fella.

1221
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 2: Does becoming a dad just make golfers too soft?

1222
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:32,840
Speaker 3: You know, it's a decent question. I'd say Speed feels

1223
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 3: a little too happy with his plate, a little too

1224
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 3: contented with his plate. He didn't like his Instagram post

1225
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 3: what I'll just playing with his kids? Of course I

1226
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 3: loved it, as I feel like it spoke to me

1227
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 3: as a fellow of dad.

1228
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 2: But you know.

1229
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 3: What about your you know what about your major major

1230
01:10:56,960 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 3: career that's in shambles from last you know, in the years.

1231
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 3: Do you see the quote if I mean, if the

1232
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:06,440
Speaker 3: lib comes off the hole, you know, I could start.

1233
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:07,320
Speaker 2: Piling them up again.

1234
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:11,400
Speaker 3: It's like, wait a second, man, you putted like nobody

1235
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 3: in the history of golf putted for two years. Uh yeah,

1236
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 3: that was Uh, it was just irrational, just an irrational statement.

1237
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 2: I would just like to point out though, like, how

1238
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 2: is he supposed to answer that question?

1239
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 3: Right?

1240
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 2: Is he supposed to be? Like, no, I'm never going

1241
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:39,799
Speaker 2: to be back right right, this is a good question.

1242
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 3: It was. It was once more into the breach for

1243
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 3: Jordan's speed. That's it, that's his groupings. Really exciting Rory.

1244
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 3: By the way, did we mention Rory's with Sandern Fitz?

1245
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 3: I don't know if we brought that up. What's your

1246
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 3: worst tea? Time?

1247
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 2: I got? I got to two that really popped for me.

1248
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,959
Speaker 3: There of course options for this one as an American

1249
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 3: and I don't want to be you know, xenophobic care

1250
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 3: but it's primarily American based golf media, and this being

1251
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 3: the world's major, with a bevy of doors that are

1252
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 3: opened across multiple continents at different points of the year,

1253
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 3: from guys quite frank you've never heard of, there's often

1254
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 3: ample choices for a worsty time of it.

1255
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 2: I'll go with j Defe, Freddie Lacroix, Jack.

1256
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 3: McDonald had it had this one as a possibility. MJ

1257
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:34,880
Speaker 3: DeFi is taking the fizz out of this one, you know,

1258
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 3: being such a grumpy boy, the fizz out of Lacroix.

1259
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:45,320
Speaker 3: No and reputed jerk allegedly, uh.

1260
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 2: Kind of in the in the in the vein of Eric.

1261
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 3: Actually that's yes, multiple exhibits supporting that. I'm gonna go

1262
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 3: with Cameron John Austin Truslo and Samuel Barstow. I just

1263
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 3: don't think these, you know, massive are going to be

1264
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 3: storming the dunes to catch that one on Thursday afternoon.

1265
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 3: That's just the thought. Nothing against them.

1266
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 2: My contender here. But then I I at the last second,

1267
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 2: I pulled the ripcord because I was like, wait a second,

1268
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 2: it could be really fun to watch Duval grind was

1269
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 2: David Duval, Martin Koubra and Matthew Southgate.

1270
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 3: That's that I thought about it. But I think like

1271
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 3: there's the the like the Sandy Lyle or last year

1272
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 3: was Todd Hamilton lashing away hitting two hundred yard cuts. Yes,

1273
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 3: we got to put together a super cind of of

1274
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 3: Todd Hamilton's swings. That was true. That was true, and

1275
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:44,639
Speaker 3: it wasn't last year. It was true. I promised, dude.

1276
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 3: Those wins were just whipping off the I mean.

1277
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 6: Last year, I believe it was kJ CHOI couldn't reach

1278
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:55,200
Speaker 6: the fairway in the wet like three am.

1279
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:56,679
Speaker 5: I believe that was the one.

1280
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 2: From last year.

1281
01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 3: Good recall how did he get in?

1282
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 2: He won the senior Yeah, so PJ, you're you're like

1283
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 2: third week working or fourth week working at Frida Egg

1284
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 2: Was Todd Hamilton?

1285
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 5: Was Todd Hamilton? Yeah? I remember.

1286
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 6: I remember I woke up and and you were just like, hey,

1287
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 6: we need a video of Todd Hamilton in these concept for.

1288
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 5: There is a video out there somewhere. I believe it

1289
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:23,640
Speaker 5: on Instagram.

1290
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:28,080
Speaker 3: Uh yeah. Duvall is out early seven thirty so to thirty.

1291
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 2: Duvall outplayed Tiger.

1292
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 3: I do remember that. I think that was I think

1293
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 3: that was not like Rush. That was one of your

1294
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 3: more insane takes. You shot like twelve, like two tents.

1295
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 3: He played better. He was like seventeen strokes worse than

1296
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:54,639
Speaker 3: the card, like objectively seventeen strokes or fifteen or whatever

1297
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 3: it was.

1298
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 6: You're getting pretty killed, Robbie outside of the first eleven

1299
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 6: holes in the last four I it was pretty good.

1300
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 3: I think that was I want to get I want

1301
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 3: to say that was port Rush nineteen. I think was

1302
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 3: when you came up cook that one up all right,

1303
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:11,000
Speaker 3: so that covers it. Any other tea times you want

1304
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 3: to throw out there now their best, Okay, should bring

1305
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 3: in kvv here talk about the quote Rolette, do you

1306
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 3: have any quotables you want to throw out there? About

1307
01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 3: death and and uh death and destruction and legacy and

1308
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:49,760
Speaker 3: all these things got both light and pretty heavy at

1309
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:53,839
Speaker 3: the at the press table this week Monday and Tuesday.

1310
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:57,320
Speaker 3: Let's bring in Kevin van Volkemberg, who's been here all

1311
01:15:57,400 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 3: day with me asking questions. Go ahead one with Justin Rose,

1312
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 3: while yeah it comes in, gets comfortable and I just

1313
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 3: bashed into my desk and shake the camera.

1314
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:13,680
Speaker 2: I tweeted one Justin Rose quote, but another one that

1315
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:16,880
Speaker 2: I thought was particularly insightful as someone who's played a

1316
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 2: ton of opens is a links course is interesting because

1317
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,200
Speaker 2: you never, really I don't think you get to know

1318
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:26,600
Speaker 2: them that well. You can have different Open championships like

1319
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:29,839
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight, it was yeah, weather, it was dreadful.

1320
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 2: It was wet course played completely different. You might have

1321
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 2: been hitting two irons and three woods into par fours

1322
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 2: and now you could be flicking fifty two degree wedges

1323
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,320
Speaker 2: in a golf course could play so differently decade to

1324
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:46,200
Speaker 2: decade when we come back, you never really know, really

1325
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 2: get to know the course. I don't think that well,

1326
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 2: just it's way different than golf in America. And it's

1327
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 2: a great point.

1328
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 3: It's like, you know the old course from you know

1329
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 3: when they hosted twenty fifteen and Zachwan you know, just

1330
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:02,720
Speaker 3: soa kick wet versus twenty twenty two where it was

1331
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:06,960
Speaker 3: like a racetrack, right, completely different golf course. Are you

1332
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 3: sure he wasn't talking about links and just Barkdale changing

1333
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 3: itself every time. He was talking about like I'm kidding,

1334
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 3: I'm just messing.

1335
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:19,639
Speaker 2: Around and how the weather ties so into what what like,

1336
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 2: how the golf course plays forged by nature.

1337
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 3: Forged by nature, absolutely forged by nature.

1338
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 2: How are you?

1339
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:32,640
Speaker 7: I'm swell it wouldn't. It wouldn't be a podcast spearence

1340
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:34,720
Speaker 7: for me if there wasn't.

1341
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 3: Mike broms, Oh, I don't know where the echoes coming from.

1342
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,000
Speaker 3: We'll try to isolate it. The pigeons or something are

1343
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 3: playing tricks with our audio. Go ahead, So you were

1344
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:47,280
Speaker 3: you sat in today on the press conferences. Wrote a

1345
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 3: little bit about it for the live blog which we

1346
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 3: have running up. So what were your takeaways.

1347
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 7: I love Open Championship press conference. I think like it's

1348
01:17:57,040 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 7: one of the funnest things to just hear all kinds

1349
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 7: of different media throw out weird question Like Rory got

1350
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 7: a question today about whether he had inquired about getting

1351
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 7: a knighthood and he was clearly annoyed about it. The

1352
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 7: someone mentioned that he might have some tax issues that

1353
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 7: were holding up his nighted and I just think that's

1354
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 7: the kind of weird shit that only happens Open Championship.

1355
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 7: Sometimes you get a question about, you know, what do

1356
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 7: you think about the fifteenth hole? And the next minute

1357
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,679
Speaker 7: you get a question about do you ever think about death?

1358
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:33,639
Speaker 3: That does happen.

1359
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 2: You could get a question about grown up in the

1360
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 2: Bronx too.

1361
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 4: That's right.

1362
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 7: I think there's there's this group of people on Twitter

1363
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:46,240
Speaker 7: who think the press conferences are for them, and they're

1364
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 7: not for you.

1365
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 4: There for us.

1366
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 7: Who are here, and if you are not here, you

1367
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:54,320
Speaker 7: cannot ask or bit you about questions that are being

1368
01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:58,240
Speaker 7: asked or not asked. I think these kind of press

1369
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:01,639
Speaker 7: conferences are men, Like, if you're working on a story

1370
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 7: like Shane Ryan of Golf did just today, it is

1371
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:07,679
Speaker 7: clearly working on a story about whether guys care about

1372
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 7: their legacy.

1373
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:10,800
Speaker 4: And so Scotty opened this door.

1374
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 7: He was the person to sort of bring up, you know,

1375
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,640
Speaker 7: when I'm dead and gone, not to be morbid, but

1376
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:19,880
Speaker 7: no one's going to care whether I want to open championship.

1377
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 7: And so Shane followed up with this and asked, Rory,

1378
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:25,720
Speaker 7: do you care about legacy because you know someday it'll

1379
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:28,679
Speaker 7: be dead and gone and no one will care. And

1380
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 7: so Rory gave I think a pretty good answer about it.

1381
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:34,760
Speaker 7: And of course the online reaction was completely childish. Why

1382
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:39,280
Speaker 7: are these reporters asking all these ridiculous questions when it

1383
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:41,639
Speaker 7: seemed very normal if you sad in all these press

1384
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:44,479
Speaker 7: conferences throughout the day. And Scotty was the one who

1385
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:48,639
Speaker 7: introduced this topic of like, well, not to get back

1386
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 7: into this weird existential stuff, but I think you know,

1387
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:55,639
Speaker 7: I'm I pretty much want to talk about, you know,

1388
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 7: whether people care whether they'll have a legacy or whether

1389
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 7: they'll be dead, or whether it and what fulfills your heart?

1390
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 7: And I just I love that Scotty was willing to

1391
01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:08,479
Speaker 7: go there again, even though saying like, I don't want

1392
01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 7: to get into this, but you know what, I'm going

1393
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 7: to get into this. I think that a lot of

1394
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:14,200
Speaker 7: the reason they do it is because they're in a

1395
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:16,080
Speaker 7: good mood. It's the last major of the year. They

1396
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 7: can still think about, like, oh, I can win this

1397
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:20,759
Speaker 7: and turn around my season. They have like this reverence

1398
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 7: for links golf and this recoverence for the home of

1399
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 7: golf and the origins of the game, and so they

1400
01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 7: just kind of come into this stuff with a generally

1401
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:32,200
Speaker 7: like a good mood, and it's fun to hear them

1402
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:36,040
Speaker 7: kind of opine on big topics. I asked John a

1403
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:38,280
Speaker 7: weird question, but it was kind of one of my

1404
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:41,040
Speaker 7: favorite questions to ask. Someone just kind of handed me

1405
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,520
Speaker 7: the mic and then the guy called on me unexpectedly,

1406
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 7: and I was like, oh, God, like, I better come

1407
01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:47,680
Speaker 7: up with something, but I'm gonna choke. And I was

1408
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 7: like how John, Like, how do you deal with doubt?

1409
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:52,599
Speaker 7: And he was like, Oh, are you making me doubt

1410
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 7: myself right now? I was like, no, No, I'm not

1411
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:56,719
Speaker 7: trying to make you doubt yourself, but I'm just curious.

1412
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 7: Everybody has doubt, how do you deal with it? He

1413
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:02,120
Speaker 7: gave us really kind a nuanced, good answer about how

1414
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 7: Anthony Kim had won this you know match in South

1415
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 7: Africa where he and Bryson and Anthony Kim were dueling

1416
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:11,559
Speaker 7: sort of famous moments that's happened in golf this year,

1417
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 7: and when he came up way short, he was like,

1418
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 7: sometimes you have to look inside yourself and swallow your

1419
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:19,960
Speaker 7: pride and admit that you didn't do things right that

1420
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 7: you should have done. And that's how you get over doubt,

1421
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:23,599
Speaker 7: is you kind.

1422
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:23,960
Speaker 4: Of learned from it.

1423
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 7: I was like, man like John Ram, still really fun

1424
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:29,600
Speaker 7: and eloquent and interesting, and sometimes you just got to

1425
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 7: ask it like an interesting question. I just I annoyed

1426
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:36,360
Speaker 7: sometimes when people complain about, oh, media asked boring questions,

1427
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 7: and then when we asked like weird you know, off

1428
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,759
Speaker 7: speed pitches, then they complain about, well, why are people

1429
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 7: asking these weird questions? It's just how the sausage just

1430
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:44,439
Speaker 7: made man?

1431
01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 3: So what today struck your fancy? Did someone stick out

1432
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:56,160
Speaker 3: as particularly impressive, contemplative, thoughtful, weird, substandard aside from like

1433
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:58,440
Speaker 3: the sort of curveball subjects.

1434
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:01,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think mostly it was just Scotty

1435
01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 4: and Rory.

1436
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:05,639
Speaker 7: I mean Scotty saying basically like, oh, man, like I I.

1437
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:07,360
Speaker 4: Don't know, I don't know what to do with the

1438
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 4: Claire Jug. Like it's just a joke.

1439
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:10,680
Speaker 7: You just like you drink out of it once and

1440
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 7: then it sort of sits there. He's really good at

1441
01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 7: like kind of cutting through a lot of the bs.

1442
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:18,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I think to his point though, he's like

1443
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:22,240
Speaker 3: I don't want to say he's humbled. It's like, oh,

1444
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 3: there's like a family get together. I'm just gonna show

1445
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:28,640
Speaker 3: up with the with the Claria Jug. That's like I

1446
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:30,719
Speaker 3: think that was his points, Like what did you guys

1447
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:31,479
Speaker 3: want me to do it?

1448
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:31,720
Speaker 4: Then?

1449
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,640
Speaker 3: Like I'm sure I had some gatherings with friends like

1450
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 3: too right after he won it, but he doesn't then

1451
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:40,640
Speaker 3: spend the rest of the year bringing it to everything.

1452
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:44,840
Speaker 7: Poker game here with Claire Jack again, who wants to

1453
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:48,040
Speaker 7: take a sip with the Claria Jug. There is I

1454
01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:50,679
Speaker 7: find a lot of ability to sort of cut through

1455
01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 7: some of the bs that like the myth making to

1456
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 7: be his superpower to just basically be like yeah, dude,

1457
01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:59,800
Speaker 7: like he said some stuff that he certainly is not

1458
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 7: your shade Tiger in this But the contrast of him

1459
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 7: is like, I don't think at all about like accomplishments

1460
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 7: or goals or like numbers or whatever.

1461
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:11,360
Speaker 4: I just I'm like, I like to compete.

1462
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:13,639
Speaker 7: And you know, Tiger Verry famous is like I got

1463
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 7: to get to eighteen, I gotta get to nineteen majors,

1464
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 7: I got to get to eighty three wins or whatever.

1465
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:21,080
Speaker 7: Scotty really doesn't care or think about things that way,

1466
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:23,480
Speaker 7: and I think probably is a little bit overall happier

1467
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 7: in his life as a result of it.

1468
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:28,920
Speaker 3: Interesting and anything. I'll stick out to you today after

1469
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:31,040
Speaker 3: walking around your first your first run.

1470
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 4: Uh, you know, you guys touched on a little bit

1471
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 4: in us.

1472
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:35,840
Speaker 7: This is just more of a fan perspective. But God, like,

1473
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,400
Speaker 7: the lack of shade is never something that I think

1474
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 7: about when about you know, I'm in an Open Championshi,

1475
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 7: because it's always kind of cloudy and it's always kind

1476
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 7: of cool, and man, it's roasting out there. Like these

1477
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:50,679
Speaker 7: poor STAPs are like just sweating their balls off, drinking

1478
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 7: their you know, singas and their guinness and uh, out

1479
01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:56,559
Speaker 7: in the fan village like Van Village is usually the

1480
01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:58,920
Speaker 7: funnest place to be in the Open Championship, even when

1481
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:00,600
Speaker 7: I'm covering it. I loved just go and sit and

1482
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:03,519
Speaker 7: have a beerd like see people singing songs and chat

1483
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:03,840
Speaker 7: it up.

1484
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:05,440
Speaker 4: And right today.

1485
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 7: It was like just watching like people just you know,

1486
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:10,760
Speaker 7: poor English folks just like sweat through there. It was

1487
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 7: like watching them cheer on the English national team when

1488
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:15,040
Speaker 7: they're down in as Teca.

1489
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:19,519
Speaker 3: It is, it is hot. There's apparently like an AC

1490
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 3: shortage here. There's like there's no AC and there's no

1491
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:25,040
Speaker 3: there's like a run on fans. You can't find a

1492
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:27,200
Speaker 3: fan anywhere. And some of these pampered fs who have

1493
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:30,000
Speaker 3: you know, the Americans who just have overdosed on AC

1494
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 3: for thirty years and like that's the that's a way

1495
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 3: of life essentially, right know.

1496
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 7: You blogged a little bit of today about the food

1497
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 7: at the Open chain. It's just generally kind of like substandard. Say,

1498
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:47,040
Speaker 7: you know those pigeons that were outside our door. You

1499
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:49,720
Speaker 7: know the famous story about the the de pigeon.

1500
01:24:49,479 --> 01:24:52,600
Speaker 4: Was served at airfield. Aye was complaining about that.

1501
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, food is fine, it was it was you know.

1502
01:24:57,200 --> 01:24:58,759
Speaker 4: I kind of want them to serve pigeon.

1503
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 7: I want to hear these pampered f's in the media

1504
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 7: center complain about that.

1505
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 3: You just gotta stay like very simple and not get

1506
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:08,639
Speaker 3: too wild with whatever some traditional British dishes. If you're

1507
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 3: an American, I just.

1508
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:14,640
Speaker 7: Everything like the beans. I'm sorry, Like I know, like

1509
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:16,639
Speaker 7: other cultures serve beans a lot of things, so I can't.

1510
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:19,160
Speaker 7: I don't mean appreciade of it. It's like every single

1511
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:20,879
Speaker 7: thing has baked beans.

1512
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 3: They do. They do enjoy that, all right? Love it?

1513
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:29,720
Speaker 3: Do picks to win anything other? Any other nacion or

1514
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:33,920
Speaker 3: random tidbits you want to throw in here? Andy odds

1515
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 3: and ends? So far have we had all our storylines

1516
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:40,679
Speaker 3: to watch? I think, all right, let's throw Kevin's pick,

1517
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 3: and when.

1518
01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 7: You know, I feel like a little bit of a

1519
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:49,800
Speaker 7: betrayal here because I picked Rory on the fried egg

1520
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 7: pot with Andy, So I feel like I can't change that.

1521
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:55,479
Speaker 7: But I I don't know. I'm not just not feeling

1522
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:58,799
Speaker 7: Rory in the same way I was. There's so many

1523
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:02,600
Speaker 7: holes where drivers not gonna necessary. Can he have the

1524
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:05,240
Speaker 7: discipline just hit irons over and over and over again.

1525
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 7: I think, like Justin Rose.

1526
01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:12,600
Speaker 3: You're going with Justin Ross Rose. I like it. You

1527
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 3: can feel the romantic the writer at heart looking for

1528
01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:16,120
Speaker 3: the story to write.

1529
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:18,679
Speaker 4: Just made him a member today. I saw, I saw

1530
01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 4: that you've got memberships.

1531
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:22,759
Speaker 3: I mean that's kind of because he hasn't wonted.

1532
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:25,240
Speaker 4: How can you get my membership?

1533
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 3: Because he hit a shot once from that that resonative

1534
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:28,919
Speaker 3: became popular.

1535
01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:30,400
Speaker 5: I hope this.

1536
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 2: Doesn't another I hope preclude me, you know, from ever,

1537
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:41,680
Speaker 2: you know, earning membership somewhere. But like how silly is

1538
01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 2: the honorary membership.

1539
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:46,599
Speaker 3: Sillier than doctor?

1540
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:47,400
Speaker 1: You know?

1541
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:51,679
Speaker 2: So for Justin Rose, he finished fourth in nineteen ninety

1542
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:54,800
Speaker 2: eight there, and he's had this just great career and

1543
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 2: it was like his jumping off moment.

1544
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:57,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1545
01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:02,879
Speaker 2: And and then for Shorge Speith he won. They're like, okay,

1546
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 2: so you give them these memberships, Like.

1547
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:13,680
Speaker 3: What what difference is that then before they had a membership?

1548
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:17,639
Speaker 2: They aren't coming to the member member. They're not coming

1549
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 2: to the member guest. They're gonna show up and play

1550
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 2: whether they're a member or not. Like it's not like

1551
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 2: if they call up and say, hey, I'm coming over,

1552
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:31,519
Speaker 2: can I stop by?

1553
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:37,800
Speaker 3: They'd be like no, sorry, members people make this big deal.

1554
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 3: Oh they're they're they're honorary members there in.

1555
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:43,639
Speaker 4: A bill like for dues.

1556
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:48,040
Speaker 3: It's it's just the club trying to feel better about themselves.

1557
01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 3: Not feel better, but like I mean, it's a it's

1558
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 3: a it's a trophy for the club to put on

1559
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 3: the locker on the wall.

1560
01:27:54,680 --> 01:27:57,360
Speaker 2: It's the only thing is it's just a club trying

1561
01:27:57,360 --> 01:28:00,599
Speaker 2: to feel self important and do this on this week.

1562
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 2: You know, I'm probably making a lot of enemies at

1563
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 2: Birkedale today.

1564
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:05,839
Speaker 3: No, it's not even about Birkdale.

1565
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 2: It's I mean everybody ramp across the world.

1566
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:11,479
Speaker 4: I want to be clear, what if what if Lost

1567
01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 4: March wanted to make you a Remember honorary Remember.

1568
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:15,400
Speaker 2: Lost Act, I'd accept it.

1569
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 3: There you go.

1570
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 4: There.

1571
01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 3: I'm not saying I wouldn't accept memberships. I'm just saying,

1572
01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:24,519
Speaker 3: what's the point of that. It's like honorary doctor.

1573
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,760
Speaker 2: Point of the honorary membership they go to people that

1574
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:31,719
Speaker 2: are never going to come. They should give the honorary

1575
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:35,400
Speaker 2: and honorary membership to the plumber that like just in

1576
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:38,519
Speaker 2: case it's like, hey, we gave you membership, good news.

1577
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:42,880
Speaker 3: Anytime we have a plumbing issue, we're gonna be like, hey,

1578
01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 3: the honorary membership.

1579
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:48,519
Speaker 2: This is what it's for. You come fix this right now.

1580
01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:53,599
Speaker 3: That that's just they wanted for somebody who won't be there,

1581
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 3: and so they can use it as a trophy and

1582
01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:57,040
Speaker 3: won't actually get in the way on the t sheet

1583
01:28:57,080 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 3: and this is going to actually be around that much

1584
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 3: or so.

1585
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:05,200
Speaker 2: The members can be like, you know, who's a member here?

1586
01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:06,479
Speaker 3: Just the worst member here.

1587
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:08,760
Speaker 2: I would have loved if one of them said no.

1588
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:13,200
Speaker 3: During the open week and just say they had all

1589
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:15,560
Speaker 3: the membership and they honorary memberships.

1590
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm actually not going to interact like

1591
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:20,920
Speaker 2: like a member of the club. So thus I turned

1592
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:22,000
Speaker 2: down your membership.

1593
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:24,360
Speaker 3: Hey, while we're on the subject of this, is this

1594
01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:27,600
Speaker 3: is a golf advice adjacent you know everybody. It's this

1595
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:32,880
Speaker 3: catnap carnival for every like just not just golf outlet,

1596
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:35,560
Speaker 3: but then like mainstream golfer like say you work for

1597
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:40,640
Speaker 3: a larger media company, I'll call it you know, ESPN, Sports, Illustrated,

1598
01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:45,960
Speaker 3: New York Times, Washington Post, like lock Stock every time

1599
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:47,880
Speaker 3: you come there, because there's gonna be an article about

1600
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:51,920
Speaker 3: the artisans. The artisans of Birkdale. Who are these guys

1601
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:54,360
Speaker 3: who just fill divots and replace ballmarks, and they have

1602
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:59,400
Speaker 3: this cottage off of the fifty fourth Green fifty and

1603
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:01,800
Speaker 3: they like they're like forty of them or something. But

1604
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:05,920
Speaker 3: they're working class people. We're more working class types and

1605
01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:08,160
Speaker 3: they just help take care and look after the course.

1606
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:15,000
Speaker 3: And then they have pretty substantial playing privileges at Birkdale, Andy,

1607
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:16,840
Speaker 3: what do you make of that? You feel divids? You

1608
01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:20,400
Speaker 3: want to more clubs have artisans artisans clubs like the

1609
01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:24,480
Speaker 3: Artisans of Berkdale, the artisans of Wherever shot Acre, Shinnacock,

1610
01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:27,360
Speaker 3: and they could just play pretty frequently by going around

1611
01:30:27,360 --> 01:30:28,760
Speaker 3: and taking care of the land.

1612
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:32,479
Speaker 2: I think you guys will like this. I love this.

1613
01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:37,200
Speaker 2: I love that. But the one of the new clubs

1614
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:41,880
Speaker 2: in Californa Brambles. Yeah, they let their caddies play in

1615
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:45,840
Speaker 2: the club championship and this year caddy won the club championships,

1616
01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:48,880
Speaker 2: so their club champions won their caddies. Do you like that?

1617
01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:50,280
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1618
01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:53,680
Speaker 3: I mean I think whatever, we're never we're way off

1619
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:57,599
Speaker 3: our open preview here. But like, are caddies a fabric

1620
01:30:57,640 --> 01:30:59,519
Speaker 3: of the club if they're regular caddy, I think they

1621
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:01,600
Speaker 3: kind of all are part of the fabric of the

1622
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:04,240
Speaker 3: golf club, golf culture of the club. I don't know,

1623
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:06,040
Speaker 3: but they're not due paying members.

1624
01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:11,479
Speaker 2: I suppose cameras that we were forced into getting this

1625
01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:16,160
Speaker 2: totally insane AI tracking that jump around.

1626
01:31:16,320 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 3: All right, So this is a long winded way of

1627
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:21,760
Speaker 3: saying Kevin is taking justin Rose. I like it.

1628
01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:25,040
Speaker 2: The honorary member. Well, now you've got the honorary member

1629
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:28,439
Speaker 2: model for him. You know he's a member. Here is

1630
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 2: Tommy a member?

1631
01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:35,320
Speaker 3: Uh you're up at Hillside. Yeah, I don't know that

1632
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:37,000
Speaker 3: he is. He's a Hillside member.

1633
01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:39,960
Speaker 2: Next time is here, they're going to give Tommy a membership.

1634
01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:42,960
Speaker 3: But uh, yeah, I think that's fair.

1635
01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:46,080
Speaker 2: Fair Calshi or whatever on that.

1636
01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:53,360
Speaker 3: Tommy would be around the next time Brickdale, Uh, what's

1637
01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:55,599
Speaker 3: more of a lock? Cal she what's more of a lock?

1638
01:31:55,640 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 3: Fleetwood will be honorary member or the fifteenth t will

1639
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:00,680
Speaker 3: be blown up for a different part three for the

1640
01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:02,160
Speaker 3: next front of course changes.

1641
01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:07,200
Speaker 7: Someone texted me while you guys are doing the podcast,

1642
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:09,880
Speaker 7: one of the players and said, the fifth is the fifth.

1643
01:32:09,600 --> 01:32:11,960
Speaker 4: Hole is a tragedy. The fifth hole, fifth hole is

1644
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:12,559
Speaker 4: a tragedy.

1645
01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:18,320
Speaker 3: I it's better than it was. It's not just it's

1646
01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:18,880
Speaker 3: not great.

1647
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:22,160
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, it's better good.

1648
01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:25,120
Speaker 3: I think these guys are just unhappy. I'm happy with

1649
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:27,599
Speaker 3: new stuff, but I don't know. I'm not suggesting this

1650
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 3: is the best work that's ever been done. It's just

1651
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:32,320
Speaker 3: I think it might end up being a pretty decent

1652
01:32:32,439 --> 01:32:36,799
Speaker 3: championship all the way around. We'll see. I am taking

1653
01:32:38,200 --> 01:32:40,519
Speaker 3: I was going to take Russell Henley the Ross Bus,

1654
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:42,479
Speaker 3: and then I looked up and I saw I've used

1655
01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:45,080
Speaker 3: him already. I'm unaware of when and where I have

1656
01:32:45,200 --> 01:32:48,320
Speaker 3: Fitsy available, and I have more cow available, and I

1657
01:32:48,400 --> 01:32:50,800
Speaker 3: think I'm going to take Colin Marikaw getting back on

1658
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:54,559
Speaker 3: the wagon still probably not healthy if in fact do

1659
01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:56,840
Speaker 3: not have russ Bus available. I'm going to go with

1660
01:32:56,880 --> 01:33:02,040
Speaker 3: Moricow this week, you know, obviously taking distance out of

1661
01:33:02,040 --> 01:33:06,600
Speaker 3: play iron play, distance control, using the ground, a little bit,

1662
01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:09,120
Speaker 3: running it up. We'll see. We've seen him succeed at

1663
01:33:09,200 --> 01:33:13,599
Speaker 3: Saint George's and that was windier conditions. Then we'll get

1664
01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:16,439
Speaker 3: I think this week, but I'm going to take Colin Morkow. Andy,

1665
01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:16,960
Speaker 3: who do you like?

1666
01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:21,360
Speaker 2: I uh, I was looking at my my list of

1667
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:25,640
Speaker 2: players I've got. I don't have a lot of people available,

1668
01:33:26,040 --> 01:33:30,160
Speaker 2: so yeah, it was between Windy Clark and Justin Rose.

1669
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:34,280
Speaker 2: Also have Victor Hoveland on the board, which I was

1670
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:37,200
Speaker 2: thinking about, But I'm going to go with Wyndham Clark.

1671
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:39,640
Speaker 2: I think he's just playing such good goals. I have

1672
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:42,519
Speaker 2: a hard time believing he's not going to finish in

1673
01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:47,679
Speaker 2: the top ten to fifteen. Wow, if he gets a scent,

1674
01:33:49,080 --> 01:33:51,720
Speaker 2: you know, as McGinley would say, he gets a scent,

1675
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:54,920
Speaker 2: he's like a blud bound he gets a scent.

1676
01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:59,240
Speaker 3: I mean you think about you know this, this sort

1677
01:33:59,240 --> 01:34:03,720
Speaker 3: of British coast in twice in like whatever it is

1678
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:09,000
Speaker 3: four years getting hunting Brian Harmon and British American Windy

1679
01:34:09,120 --> 01:34:12,040
Speaker 3: Clark as their two winners at both Toylike and Birkdale,

1680
01:34:12,439 --> 01:34:14,599
Speaker 3: which is like I was thinking about with Russ Buss

1681
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:18,800
Speaker 3: to Georgia boys. Taking this this British coast duet in

1682
01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:22,439
Speaker 3: this last four years would be a different kind of

1683
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 3: look for all the writers. The Butcher of Hoylake as

1684
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:32,080
Speaker 3: they called Harmon, Windy Clark. Gosh, that would they The

1685
01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:34,559
Speaker 3: British media might have fun with Windy. They might sink

1686
01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:37,160
Speaker 3: their teeth into him, get him, get him, you know,

1687
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:41,559
Speaker 3: probably portray him in a probably unfavorable light where he

1688
01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:44,000
Speaker 3: become their champion golfer of the year. I love it

1689
01:34:44,040 --> 01:34:46,240
Speaker 3: going out on a limb. That was not what I expected.

1690
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:49,120
Speaker 4: Even though he asked. I thought one interesting aspect.

1691
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:51,000
Speaker 7: I hadn't really thought too much about someone's asking about

1692
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:53,479
Speaker 7: fan behavior to Rordy. Oh did you see what happened

1693
01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:53,760
Speaker 7: with him?

1694
01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:55,599
Speaker 4: Clark? Is it gambling?

1695
01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:58,360
Speaker 7: It's causing this? And Rory's like, you know, we've had

1696
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:00,840
Speaker 7: gambling over here for a long time and the fans

1697
01:35:00,840 --> 01:35:04,559
Speaker 7: are pretty well behaved. So take that from me away.

1698
01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:07,240
Speaker 7: It's essentially saying like it's the Americans are the ones

1699
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:10,120
Speaker 7: who are misbehaving over gambling. We we know how to

1700
01:35:10,160 --> 01:35:14,439
Speaker 7: handle our are betting our can I just saya, Peach,

1701
01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:15,320
Speaker 7: who's your pick?

1702
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 6: I think it's I think it's coming home, taking Matthew Fitzpatrick.

1703
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:22,439
Speaker 3: That's all.

1704
01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:24,920
Speaker 5: It's all coming home. I don't have a lot of

1705
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:26,519
Speaker 5: guys left, but I'm happy to left fit.

1706
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:30,719
Speaker 3: That's a good pick. This whole like fan, the open

1707
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 3: commitment fan, because so we we are splashing the board

1708
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:39,479
Speaker 3: with Rose, Rose, Fitzie, Maricle and Win.

1709
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:44,160
Speaker 2: So we don't have everybody available. If you can, would

1710
01:35:44,160 --> 01:35:44,719
Speaker 2: you take.

1711
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:49,599
Speaker 3: I think the rust Buss is that crazy?

1712
01:35:50,200 --> 01:35:51,520
Speaker 2: You could take him?

1713
01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:57,160
Speaker 3: Probably Scotty just I think probably Scotty. Don't you got

1714
01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:00,360
Speaker 3: that's a fair it's a fair point. Poke a hole

1715
01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:05,120
Speaker 3: in my probably Scottie Shuffler based on what we've seen.

1716
01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:08,760
Speaker 2: I mean, that's who I mean. It's like, I feel

1717
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:10,840
Speaker 2: like you're an idiot almost if you don't take them.

1718
01:36:10,880 --> 01:36:16,760
Speaker 3: But right right, this fan code of conduct thing, the

1719
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:20,880
Speaker 3: open Commitment, can I just say this is a bunch

1720
01:36:20,920 --> 01:36:24,479
Speaker 3: of just absolute superfluous bullshit that they put on paper

1721
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:27,439
Speaker 3: to feel better about themselves, Like, oh no, we are

1722
01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:30,839
Speaker 3: not We're not these long Islanders. Like this doesn't mean anything.

1723
01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:35,320
Speaker 3: It's like it's just complete, just stuff on a paper.

1724
01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:39,280
Speaker 3: It's not changing the world in any material way. And

1725
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:42,960
Speaker 3: it's just this kind of like you know, peacock around

1726
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:45,200
Speaker 3: be like we're not like them, or we're not like this.

1727
01:36:45,439 --> 01:36:49,120
Speaker 3: Now I suggested this to someone, this is all bullshit,

1728
01:36:49,160 --> 01:36:53,920
Speaker 3: and it is. They agreed it's all bullshit. But apparently

1729
01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:57,439
Speaker 3: this code of conduct might have been written by the

1730
01:36:57,479 --> 01:37:02,559
Speaker 3: PGA Tour officials. But the PGA Tour can't get it pass,

1731
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:04,559
Speaker 3: like they're not even worried about like trying to get

1732
01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:06,760
Speaker 3: this passed or adopt it because it'd be such like

1733
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:09,640
Speaker 3: an uphill, like just battle to get it, like to

1734
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:12,600
Speaker 3: make it a thing on the PGA tour. Well, the

1735
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:16,599
Speaker 3: committed live under par you know as once they're right

1736
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 3: right right. But anyways, we have the open commitment and

1737
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:23,280
Speaker 3: it seems like it's worth about the piece of paper

1738
01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:25,719
Speaker 3: it's printed on. But you know, good luck, glad.

1739
01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:28,280
Speaker 4: We can talk about astroturfing good behavior?

1740
01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:28,960
Speaker 3: What's that?

1741
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:31,519
Speaker 7: And the PJ tour is out there astroturfing good behavior

1742
01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:33,519
Speaker 7: like create fake.

1743
01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:37,400
Speaker 3: What other storylines do we have that nobody's talking about?

1744
01:37:37,439 --> 01:37:39,480
Speaker 3: We have a game within the game code of Conduct.

1745
01:37:39,680 --> 01:37:42,400
Speaker 3: Who's gonna be the Code of Conduct policy violator that

1746
01:37:42,439 --> 01:37:46,280
Speaker 3: we had JACKI Neeman at Shinnecock, JaMarcus Neman chuck him

1747
01:37:46,439 --> 01:37:50,400
Speaker 3: Club seventy yards down the fairway. Who do you have

1748
01:37:50,439 --> 01:37:53,080
Speaker 3: going for Code of Conduct? We put Windy on the

1749
01:37:53,080 --> 01:37:54,599
Speaker 3: graphic I've got.

1750
01:37:55,400 --> 01:37:59,080
Speaker 2: I can see terryl getting popped and then and then

1751
01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:03,840
Speaker 2: literally lose by a shot. Like I think that's like

1752
01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:07,280
Speaker 2: honestly totally within play.

1753
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:13,320
Speaker 3: I kind of really like Bobby Mack as an option.

1754
01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:17,200
Speaker 3: That'd be amazing, I think, like, you know, I didn't

1755
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:19,479
Speaker 3: play well on Sunday in Scotland, could have won his

1756
01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:23,120
Speaker 3: National Open again obviously had the issues at the Masters.

1757
01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:26,080
Speaker 3: Is there already like because you already have a one

1758
01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:28,400
Speaker 3: strike and you're out, you know what, second strike and

1759
01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:31,320
Speaker 3: you're out situation after flipping off the pond at fifteen,

1760
01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:34,040
Speaker 3: I like, Bobby Max is my my game within the

01:38:34,080 --> 01:38:36,960
Speaker 3: game code of conduct violator, Kevin? Do you have one?

01:38:59,080 --> 01:39:01,000
Speaker 7: to punish the you know, the top players.

1770
01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:05,000
Speaker 4: I have to make an example out of somebody's.

1806
01:41:08,720 --> 01:41:11,240
Speaker 2: this should be a game within the game. Yeah, but

1807
01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:14,880
Speaker 2: the sergeant squares off against this the constable this week.

1808
01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:18,439
Speaker 3: That's a good one. That's a good one.

1809

1904

1906
01:46:40,400 --> 01:46:41,840

Speaker 4: I'll take Tiger.

01:46:49,040 --> 01:46:52,960
Speaker 7: You know, we were so close to doing Cat's two

1910
01:46:52,960 --> 01:46:55,519
Speaker 7: point zero, but Andy wanted to hold off until I

1911
01:46:55,520 --> 01:46:56,759
Speaker 7: could have its own true moment.

1912
01:46:57,080 --> 01:47:02,000

Speaker 6: Team Team event hopefuls. Andy Sullivan versus Henny Duplessi's.

1915
01:47:10,160 --> 01:47:15,360
Speaker 3: This is so absurd. I don't say, Kenny dupless I

1916
01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:17,479
Speaker 3: think he's spent a better player than Andy Sullivan. I'm

1917
01:47:17,520 --> 01:47:20,759
Speaker 3: giving the substance of analysis. Actually, I think du Pluss

1918
01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:21,760
Speaker 3: has been better this year.

1919
01:47:22,520 --> 01:47:23,519
Speaker 4: I'll think the bumble bee.

1920
01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:26,799
Speaker 5: Andy, we know who you're taking.

1921
01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:30,719
Speaker 2: You have to the bumblebee will fly I this week

1922
01:47:31,920 --> 01:47:32,280
Speaker 2: I'll go.

1923
01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:35,679
Speaker 5: I'll go with Henny. We'll go to two there. Uh.

1924
01:47:35,720 --> 01:47:38,720
Speaker 6: The Hoyguards will defend their tag team championship if they

1925
01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:44,080
Speaker 6: won from the Olsons last year, but a formidable foe

1926
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:46,480
Speaker 6: this year in the Fitzpatricks.

1927
01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:56,720
Speaker 3: I love the tag team championship against the osb Oh.

1928
01:47:56,760 --> 01:47:57,960
Speaker 3: That's a great hatchup.

1929
01:47:58,280 --> 01:47:59,960
Speaker 2: God, I got the Fitzies take.

1930
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:03,880
Speaker 3: It's a good one. I'll go Hoyguard's differentiate.

1931
01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:08,040
Speaker 6: I picked, I picked, I picked one Fitzpatrick to win.

1932
01:48:08,200 --> 01:48:10,919
Speaker 6: So I I do love Nico Hoyguard this week.

1933
01:48:10,720 --> 01:48:13,639
Speaker 4: But I will go with this special referee in this match.

1934
01:48:15,520 --> 01:48:18,200
Speaker 2: I wish Donald McDonald's for the referee.

1935
01:48:18,320 --> 01:48:23,200
Speaker 5: Mc donald is the referee who it is? Uh? We

1936
01:48:23,280 --> 01:48:24,880
Speaker 5: have Jordan's Volume two.

1937
01:48:25,400 --> 01:48:29,559
Speaker 6: This is a tried and true classic Smith versus Speith.

1938
01:48:31,400 --> 01:48:37,680
Speaker 7: M hmm, boy, don't take speed for sentimental reasons. I

1939
01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:40,880
Speaker 7: was here in seventeen. I saw that miserable front nine

1940
01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:43,719
Speaker 7: and then I felt like the whole world has falling,

1941
01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:46,240
Speaker 7: probably and he turned it around, so maybe you'll find

1942
01:48:46,280 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 7: some of that magic again.

1943
01:48:47,800 --> 01:48:49,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take Jordan Smith.

1944
01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:52,640
Speaker 2: See this does a lead as a lead to the

1945
01:48:52,680 --> 01:48:55,680
Speaker 2: winning piece. At the beginning of the week I was

1946
01:48:55,880 --> 01:48:59,160
Speaker 2: I was asked if I would take Jordan Smith or

1947
01:48:59,240 --> 01:48:59,880
Speaker 2: Jordan Speed.

1948
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:04,799
Speaker 4: You can call the Jordan rules.

1949
01:49:06,800 --> 01:49:10,639
Speaker 2: I'll take Jordan Smith, all right, I'll take Speth.

1950
01:49:10,800 --> 01:49:11,799
Speaker 5: A'll right with KVV.

1951
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:14,479
Speaker 3: We got that's the ultimate game within the game, that one,

1952
01:49:14,560 --> 01:49:16,920
Speaker 3: but I don't think any others matter after that one.

1953
01:49:16,920 --> 01:49:18,080
Speaker 3: It's Jordan versus Jordan.

1954
01:49:18,439 --> 01:49:20,160
Speaker 6: But we do have We did a little bit of

1955
01:49:20,200 --> 01:49:24,439
Speaker 6: football minute earlier talking about Novak Novak versus Nico. For

1956
01:49:24,560 --> 01:49:27,160
Speaker 6: all of our international fans who demand their Nico at

1957
01:49:27,240 --> 01:49:28,280
Speaker 6: a very minutes.

1958
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:30,519
Speaker 2: Give me Novak.

1959
01:49:32,160 --> 01:49:34,880
Speaker 3: U Nico go opposite.

1960
01:49:35,240 --> 01:49:36,040
Speaker 4: I'm going Novak.

1961
01:49:36,640 --> 01:49:37,400
Speaker 5: I'll take Nico.

1962
01:49:38,640 --> 01:49:40,640
Speaker 6: We talked to go to conduct and then last but

1963
01:49:40,760 --> 01:49:43,719
Speaker 6: not least, the most important game was in the game.

1964
01:49:44,320 --> 01:49:47,439
Speaker 6: Every time we come to the Open Championship, the fight

1965
01:49:47,479 --> 01:49:50,920
Speaker 6: in the century Matthew Jordan versus par.

1966
01:49:53,960 --> 01:49:59,280
Speaker 3: So. If he goes under part.

1967
01:49:57,479 --> 01:50:00,000
Speaker 6: If he goes under par. Matthew Jordan wins last year.

1968
01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:00,840
Speaker 6: I believe he won.

1969
01:50:02,040 --> 01:50:03,400
Speaker 3: I think, uh, I.

1970
01:50:03,360 --> 01:50:05,240
Speaker 4: Maybe this is gonna be like Green and Roulette where

1971
01:50:05,240 --> 01:50:08,840
Speaker 4: he had to hit par, or.

1972
01:50:09,160 --> 01:50:10,519
Speaker 2: What happens if he hits par?

1973
01:50:11,600 --> 01:50:14,599
Speaker 5: Everybody waits, everyone pays out.

1974
01:50:15,880 --> 01:50:20,200
Speaker 3: I think I uh, I think people are gonna go

1975
01:50:20,280 --> 01:50:23,800
Speaker 3: under par this this week, despite the firmness and all

1976
01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:27,120
Speaker 3: that it seems, the wind being down. I think Matthew

1977
01:50:27,160 --> 01:50:29,160
Speaker 3: Jordan knows how to play this kind of golf. I'm

1978
01:50:29,160 --> 01:50:31,880
Speaker 3: gonna go under par by a significant margin.

1979
01:50:33,400 --> 01:50:35,479
Speaker 2: We'll go over under.

1980
01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:39,240
Speaker 6: I'm taking Matthew Jordan to defeat the par monster once

1981
01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:42,080
Speaker 6: again alone Jordan.

1982
01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:43,559
Speaker 5: That's it. That's what we got.

1983
01:50:45,360 --> 01:50:49,880
Speaker 3: Okay, all right? That does it for our British Open

1984
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:55,360
Speaker 3: or Open Championship preview, whatever your nomenclature preferences. Uh, Kevin

01:51:04,280 --> 01:51:07,639
Speaker 3: be here live after play or maybe even as play

1989
01:51:07,680 --> 01:51:10,360
Speaker 3: is still wrapping up. I would think, you know, no

1990
01:51:10,439 --> 01:51:13,040
Speaker 3: offense to mister Ham or whoever's coming down the stretches.
