WEBVTT - A Good Place in Professional Golf 0:00:01.440 --> 0:00:03.320 It's the Son of a Butcher podcast. I'm your host, 0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:06.840 Claude harmon Solo Pod. This week, we're going into the 0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:09.920 second major of the year next week, the PGA Championship 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:13.240 of Quail Hollow already had the first major of the year. 0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:15.360 And over the last four years, you know, with this 0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:17.360 whole kind of PG Tour live stuff, I think there's 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:19.639 still a lot of people that look at professional golf 0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:22.000 and think in a bad place. There's a lot of turmoil, 0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:24.280 There's a lot of stuff going on. Is there a merger, 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:26.880 is there not a merger? All that stuff. But I 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.840 think we're in a really good place in professional golf, 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:32.800 and I think the reason for that is what we 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:35.760 are seeing on the golf course, on both the PGA 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.919 Tour side on the live side, around the world. I've 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.239 been traveling pretty much NonStop this year already been so 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:45.600 far this year to Saudi Arabia, to Australia, to Thailand, 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:50.040 to Hong Kong, to Singapore, to Mexico City, to Korea. 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.920 So I've been around the world. I see people interested 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.720 in golf, I see people loving seeing the best players 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.400 in the world, and I just think golf to me 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.000 right now, when I look at the performance side of things, 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.959 I think golf is in a pretty good place. And 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:10.319 I'll give two examples on the PGA Tour side. Scotty Scheffler, right, 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.440 I mean, first of all, the last cut Scottie Scheffler missed, 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.720 I think was in August of twenty twenty two at Memphis. 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.160 I mean, that's a joke. He's got fourteen wins now 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:25.120 two majors, just won the Briar Nelson thirty one under 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:30.399 sixty one sixty three sixty six sixty three on Sunday, 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:35.080 won by a million shots. I mean, the golf he 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:39.440 is playing is unbelievably impressive. He was hurt at the 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.360 beginning of the year, so he didn't start until Pebble 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.560 finished his ninth there Waste Management, which is his highest 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.920 finish this year. Tied for twenty fifth, tied for third 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:53.480 at Genesis, eleventh at Bayhill, at the API, twentieth at 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:57.400 the Players, tied second in Houston, fourth at the Masters, 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.160 eighth at Harbor Town, and then wins Byron Nelson and 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.240 buy a million shots. The guy is I mean, he's 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:08.760 a machine. He's just he's so consistent as a player. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.839 When you watch his game he can kind of win 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.040 in a lot of different ways. I think he can 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:20.160 win on incredibly hard golf courses where you know you're 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.520 not going to shoot super super low scores, and then 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:27.040 last week at the Byron Nelson, sixty one in the 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.160 first round to sixty three's and a sixty six to 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.680 throw in there and thirty one under. So he can 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.080 win major championships. We know that he has the game 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.880 that you need to have to win a major championship, 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.520 but he also has the game on a golf course 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.360 that's soft and wide open TPC Craig Ranch where they 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.679 played the Byron Nelson, you know, it's the bomber's paradise. 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:52.600 He hits the golf ball a long way. I mean 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.959 I'm always surprised when I see Scotti Scheffler up close, 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.040 you know, when he's standing next to other players. I 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.600 mean he's a big guy. I mean, you know, he's 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.440 six two six' three maybe even six. FOUR i, mean 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.440 he hits the golf ball a long, way and he 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:11.560 is just so. Impressive i've talked about him on the pod, 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.040 before BUT i think the things that he is doing 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:19.119 and the way he is playing golf is Very it's. 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:23.080 SPECIAL i think we are in a really interesting time 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:27.400 in professional. Golf the way That scotty goes about playing, 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.960 golf the way That Scotty scheffler goes about living his, 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.880 life his mental. APPROACH i marvel at watching he and 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.240 his Coach Randy. SMITH i got to watch them practice 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:41.920 At augusta at The. Masters and the attention That Scotty 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:47.120 scheffler has to, detail the attention he has to his, 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:53.240 grip to his, setup is very very rare in the modern. 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.040 Game WHEN i watch him hit golf, balls and he 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.680 is somebody THAT i will sit and If i've got, 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.080 Time i'll sit on a driving and just watch him, 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.040 Practice watch the work that he And Randy smith do 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:08.120 in the interaction with his, Caddie Teddy. SCOTT i think 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:15.000 it's very, unique it's very. BASIC i think his attention 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:21.120 to his fundamentals is it's fun to watch the. Grip 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:26.280 it's anybody Doing instagram TikTok, videos YouTube videos on the 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.120 grip right. NOW i, mean nobody even talks about that, anymore, 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.039 RIGHT i, mean there are a lot of instructors that 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:35.320 think grips don't. Matter where back in the, day thirty 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.440 forty years, ago your grip was everything. Right AND i 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:42.719 watch the attention to detail That scotty has with the 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.120 way that he grips the golf club and the way 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:51.240 that his setup is very very. Specific it's very very. 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:55.440 Practiced he's very diligent in the things that he's doing 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.640 before he hits a golf, ball AND i think a 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:01.960 lot of golfers listening could take a lot from. That you, 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.240 know he's the best player in the game right. Now 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.000 he's the number one ranked player in the game right 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.120 now if you still believe in the world, rankings and 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.719 he works on, fundamentals and you, know he's got a 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:15.240 very idiosyncratic golf, SWING i guess you could, say but 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.880 he has a unbelievably functional golf. Swing SO i just 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.839 think we're lucky right now to be watching the golf 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:27.280 that he is, playing the scores and the performances that 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.560 he is putting in week in and week. OUT i, 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.040 mean the guy just never really finishes. Outside he's had 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.599 two tournaments this year where he's finished twentieth and twenty, 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.839 fifth right the. Rest he is a player right, now 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.200 and he is on this kind of run that all 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.320 the great players over the last you, know fifteen twenty. 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:50.159 Years get. On every single week he's the. FAVORITE i, 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:54.039 mean think about. That every single week he tease it. 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.040 Up you're putting him AS i, think you're putting him 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:58.360 at the top of the list of people that are 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:02.359 going to. Win and so it's just incredibly impressive to. 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.159 WATCH a lot of people are making the comparison That 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.280 scotty's kind of on this form right, now this kind 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.200 Of Tiger woods type. FORM i, MEAN i see. THAT 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.479 i definitely think you could make an argument for. IT i, 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.760 think you, know my dad always, says you, know having 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.719 been a part of That tiger. Era, YEAH i mean 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.560 he's doing things That tiger has. Done can he do 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.560 it for the next ten? Years can he do it 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.880 for the next fifteen? YEARS i Mean tiger did for 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:33.000 twenty but Can Scotty. SCHEFFLER i, mean LIKE i, said 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.200 it's been three years since he's missed. Cut that's basically 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.640 What tiger used to, do, Right he never missed. Cuts 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.280 every single time he teed it, up he had a 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.800 chance to. Win every single time he teed it. Up, 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:46.560 yeah the one finished, second finished top, five rarely finished 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.080 outside the top. Twenty every time he teed it, up 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.479 and those are the type of things That Scotty scheffler is. 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.480 Doing AND i can still remember two THOUSAND i think 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.279 it was two thousand and Seventeen Aaron hills When brooks 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.920 won his first FEW Us. Open they share the same, 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.560 Agent Blake. Smith we played a practicer on With. Scottie 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:09.480 nothing really stood. Out it JUST i look back at 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.400 that AND i look at the player he is, today and, 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.320 YEAH i mean he was a great college, player he 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.120 was a great amateur player and, stuff but it didn't 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:23.440 look back then anything. Extraordinary and what he is doing 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:31.160 now is. Extraordinary he is as complete a player as 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:35.080 there is in the. Game he's as complete a player 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.880 That i've seen in a very very long, time both 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:43.320 on the golf course off the golf. Course there just 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.800 aren't a lot of. WEAKNESSES i, mean people talk about his. 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:51.200 PUTTING i, mean come, on that can't do what he's. 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:55.840 Doing BUT i, mean he just doesn't have a. Weakness 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:59.720 and it's just it's a pleasure to. Watch it's we 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.960 are lucky to be watching the golf That Scottie scheffler. 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:08.400 Played and then another massive, Story roy McElroy finally finally 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:13.760 getting a green, jacket finally getting A major after you, 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:18.440 know almost a, decade over a decade and getting The Grand, 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:23.440 SLAM Us open in twenty, ELEVEN pga twenty, twelve twenty, 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.720 fourteen The open in fourteen and now The masters in twenty. 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.480 Fifteen it was it was fun to. Watch majors are 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.320 hard to. Win and if you need evidence as to 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.840 how hard majors are to, win look at What roy 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:43.160 mackel went through On sunday At. Augusta the, ups the, 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:48.120 downs the great, shots you, know the thirteenth hole with 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.400 a wedge in his. HAND i, mean you just don't 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.400 expect him to hit it in the water. There he 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.200 almost didn't even hit the, green AND i think you 0:08:55.240 --> 0:09:00.400 see what pressure. Does but everybody, knew every buddy in 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:04.200 the game knew That rory McElroy had the game to 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.200 win At Augusta. National there is not a golf, course 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.840 in my, opinion there isn't a golf course currently on 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:14.079 the planet that is more set up for his, game 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.360 for his skill, set for his toolbox and all the 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.320 things he. Had but you said the same thing About 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.760 Greg norman as. Well Greg norman had all the. Shots 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.960 Greg norman went in there with a big, lead AND 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.600 i think that If rory hadn't gotten it done On, 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:30.400 SUNDAY i think it could have been a similar situation 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.800 as to what happened To Greg norman when he had 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.520 a chance to win there big lead and didn't get 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:40.360 it done and really kind of never recovered and his 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.719 greatness just he couldn't get it done around. There AND 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.920 i Think rory went Into augusta with all the. Pressure 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.640 he was the, favorite having won the players the way 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:53.400 that he plays, Golf but he is another. One when 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.120 you watch him play, golf you watch the things that 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:01.000 he can. Do he can make things. Happen that that 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.360 is something THAT i love About rory and love about his. 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.679 Game there are very few players in the game that 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.080 can make things happen the way that he, can with 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.400 the way that he drives the golf, ball with how 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:17.200 high he can hit his, irons just Like Scotti. Scheffler 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.600 he's a complete a player as there is twenty nine, 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.800 wins over one hundred million, dollars two hundred and thirty 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:28.360 three cuts out of two hundred and sixty four eighty 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.880 three top, fives almost one hundred and thirty top. Tens 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.560 the guy is one of the greatest. Players definitely one 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:36.600 of the greatest Players i've ever. Seen And i've been 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.320 lucky enough to be around the professional game pretty much 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.080 the majority of my adult, life and due to the 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.439 fact that my father has worked with so many great. 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.840 Players you, Know i've been on tour for the last 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:52.160 basically twenty five years of my. LIFE i got to 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.760 See Tiger woods up close for over a, decade got 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.160 to watch my dad work With Greg, norman so two 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.800 of the greatest players of the modern, era two of 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:04.800 the biggest. Superstars And rory McElroy is he's as. GOOD i, 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.280 mean he's as good As i've. Seen he just has, 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.800 everything and you, KNOW i think it's great for the 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.400 game that he did get a green. JACKET i think 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.760 his career would have been not what it could have 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:21.760 been without. ONE i think he will be an Unbelievable masters. 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.719 CHAMPION i think the members At Augusta national and the 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:28.280 people that run that, tournament they couldn't ask for a better. 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.480 Winner the fans loved, it the patrons loved. It it 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.400 was a WIN i think that the game. Needed and 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:39.280 it's not because of the WHOLE pga. Tour rory McElroy's 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.480 too good not to win At, augusta AND i just 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:45.560 think watching him win, there it was great theater on 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.400 that back nine On. SUNDAY i think we are, lucky 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.480 like we are With Scotty, scheffler we are lucky to 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:56.840 be Watching rory McElroy do What rory McElroy, does which is. 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:01.960 Dominate he dominates in a lot of. Ways he dominates 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.840 with the. DRIVER i think if you listen to his 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:09.400 press conferences At, augusta the influence Of Bob rotella of 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.960 just trying to eliminate a lot of the white noise 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.559 and just you. KNOW i thought it was interesting when 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.480 they asked him On saturday if he thought about what 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.360 happened when he had a really big lead, there and he, 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.280 said it was a long time. AGO i don't even 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.680 think about it. ANYMORE i guarantee you can remember every. 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:27.080 SHOT i guarantee you can remember every. Shot BUT i 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.559 think the influence Of Bob rotella was to just try 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:33.560 and get him to focus on the controllables right and his. 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:37.120 Game when he plays his, best he's almost impossible to. 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.280 Beat he is one of these players and we have 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:44.000 seen him go on runs where you can make an 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.520 argument that he's the best player in the, game but, 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:53.720 man what a. Player and then on the other, Side 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:57.680 bryson And wak, O'NEMAN i mean the stuff that they're 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:01.920 doing ON Liv bryson winning week In korea sixty, five sixty, 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:05.520 six sixty, five he said afterwards he feels like it's 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:07.960 the best golf he's. Played and he won THE Us 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.559 open last, year and he shot fifty nine at The greenbrier, 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:15.199 sixth that riadd eighteenth And adelaide, Twentieth Hong, kong tied 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.560 for tenth In, singapore fifth In, miami had a chance 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.680 in that last group at The, masters didn't get it, 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:24.520 done finished fifth, there tied for second In, mexico and 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.000 then wins In. Korea SO i think going into THE, 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:32.600 Pga bryson is really really rounding into kind of the 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.800 form where you would think he would be one of 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.760 the guys that could, win had a chance to win last. 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.480 Year so his game, now with the way that he, 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:47.280 plays is major ready and he is going to be 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:51.440 a threat IN i think he's going to have chances 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.400 to win every major this. YEAR i think that's how 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.520 good his game is right. Now AND i JUST i 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:02.120 continue to be impressed by how this guy. WORKS i 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.000 get to see him every single week he's playing on. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:09.600 Live i've never seen him not go to the driving 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.360 range in the entire. Time i've been to EVERY lib, 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:17.800 event so every single tournament That i've been, to he 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.560 is the last person on the driving. Range doesn't matter 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.400 what he, shoots doesn't matter what the score, was doesn't 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.200 matter how good it. Was he and his CADDY gbo 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.400 straight to the. Range Dana dlkus was over with him last. 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:33.240 Week he talked about you, KNOW i asked him In Mexico. 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.520 CITY i, said, listen you, know we're talking about The 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.320 masters and was. TALKING i, said what did you? Learn 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.840 and he started talking about his equipment and he started 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.400 talking about where he was hitting on the face with the. 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:46.200 Irons the superpower That bryson has is very much the 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.680 superpower THAT i Think Scotti scheffler. Has it's, him, right 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:53.480 and that they couldn't be more, different, Right they are 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:58.080 very very different. People BUT i think one Of bryson's massive, 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.560 superpowers on top of the length he has and how 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.760 far he can hit the golf, ball is him the 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.680 way that he approaches the. Game the way that he 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:12.960 approaches golf and the way that he thinks is incredibly. 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:17.640 Unique there's nobody in the game that thinks about the 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.080 game the Way bryson, does that practices the game the 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.000 Way bryson. Does there's nobody in the game that has 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:27.280 equipment Like bryson. Does there's nobody in the game that 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:34.240 is willing and actively trying to push the envelope with. 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:39.200 Equipment WHEN i talked to him about, EQUIPMENT i have 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:41.960 no idea what he's talking. ABOUT i, mean when you 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.720 look at his golf, clubs and when you watch other 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:49.000 people try and hit his golf, clubs they can't get them. 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.480 Airborne the drivers that he, uses the grips that he's, 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.560 uses you, know he said afterwards in his interview after 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.680 he won In korea last, week he was spending this 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:01.600 week working on a GoF. Ball he is a unicorn 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.800 when it comes to the way that he thinks about the. 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.960 Game AND i think there were a lot of people 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.040 When bryson came out that thought that that kind of 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:15.400 quest for, perfection the rabbit holes that he can constantly go. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:19.080 Down he was With Cobra puma for a long time 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.480 AND i got to watch the rabbit holes that he 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.160 and The Cobra puma club design team would go, down 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.320 and the things that he would try and get them to, 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.160 do and the ideas that he would try and throw at, 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.600 them and there's just no one in the GAY i 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.680 think there's an argument that you could make that there's 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:39.640 never been anybody in the game Like. Bryson his approach 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:46.080 is so, unique it is so specific to him and 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:50.440 the way that he, thinks and it's fun to. WATCH 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:52.920 i don't have a clue what he's trying to, do 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.480 and he tries to tell me sometimes what he's trying to, 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.920 do And i'm in the game AND i can't figure it, 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.120 out but he is figured it. Out and he also 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.320 last week on a really kind OF i mean the 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.119 greens In korea at The Jack Nicholas course there they 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.360 played The. President we were there in fifteen for The President's, 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.280 cup And i'd forgotten how small some of those greens, 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:16.520 are how much undulation some of those greens, Have and 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.240 with his wedges that are the length of a six 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.680 iron seven, IRON i don't Think bryson gets enough credit 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.360 for being as creative around the greens as he's been 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:30.320 able to become with a six iron length lob. WEDGE 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:33.800 i love the fact that he wants to try and 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:37.040 figure the game. Out BUT i don't know if that 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.480 approach could work for anyone, else but sheres how works for, 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:42.879 him and he's one of the best players in the. 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.320 GAME i don't care what the world rankings. SAY i 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.720 don't even think he can believe in the world rankings 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:52.720 anymore in my, opinion just my. Opinion but, man is 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:56.919 he good and he works so damn, hard and it 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:01.480 is unbelievably refreshing and cool to watch how hard he, 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.480 works and very much in the way THAT i talked 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:08.560 about the Way Scotty scheffler his attention to. Detail bryson's 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:13.000 details are, different they're his, own but the way that 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:17.880 he goes about managing and working on his, game it's 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:22.119 cool to. Watch it's out, there but it is fun to. 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.600 Watch and then one of the other STARS i think 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.560 in the game right, Now Wacho. Neeman three wins already 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:32.600 ON liv this. Year, Adelaide singapore And Mexico, city three 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:38.840 very very different golf. Courses Adelaide, linksy The test there 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.280 is very Different singapore big golf. Course if you look 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.639 at the guys that have won there. Before brooks has 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:46.679 won there, Before Adam scott's won there a bunch of 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.840 times back in the, Day Phil mickelson, won so it's 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:54.200 a big golf course length power and Then Mexico city 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:56.640 eight thousand feet of. Altitude everybody that week was trying 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:58.840 to figure it. Out BUT i think the thing That 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:03.120 i'm starting to be really impressed by With waco's game 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:07.879 is what he does On. Sundays. Adelaide he wins seven 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:12.320 under On, Sunday, singapore he wins six under On, sunday 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:15.040 four under on the front nine On sunday At, singapore 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:19.360 and Then Mexico city six, Under so he's a. Closer 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:23.159 the kid can. PLAY i hear a lot of people, 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:27.159 saying you, know in majors sometimes when he, plays you, 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.000 know you get some of the commentators that like to 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.760 play that. Game, yea we don't really know how he, plays. 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:35.160 WELL i can tell you how he plays really damn. 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:38.760 GOOD i think if there was a real world ranking right, 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:43.400 Now i'd Put waco inside the top. Ten the kid can. 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:45.399 Win and if you look at the scores that he 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.280 shot At riviera when he was playing on THE Pga, 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:51.639 tour and his game can kind of travel to a 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:56.080 lot of different golf, courses very unique golf, swing BUT 0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:59.560 i love, it and he is somebody LIKE i said 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.640 With Scotty scheffler Or, Rory i'll watch him hit golf. 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.320 BALLS i like the way that he and his COACH E. 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:09.159 DOO i like the golf swing they. Built it's, specific 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.360 it's unique to. Him Andrew, cummings who is his physio 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:14.440 and his. TRAINER i think he has a big job 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:18.560 to keep his body. Moving But waco works his ass 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:22.960 off both on and off the golf, course And i'm 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:25.040 interested to see what he can do with THE Pga 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:27.800 Quail HOLLOW i think will set up good for. Him 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:29.720 you need to drive the golf ball a long. Way 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.240 this kid hits golf ball. Miles it's a great driver 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:34.480 of the golf. Ball AND i think the test for 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:37.080 all four of the players That i've talked, About Scotty, 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:42.360 Scheffler rory, McElroy rice And. Waco don't be surprised if 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:45.200 all of those guys are on the, leaderboard especially deep 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.080 into the, weekend because they have the type of. Game 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:51.480 bryson two time major, Champion Scotti, scheffler two time major, 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:55.280 Champion rory McRoy five time major. CHAMPION i Mean rory 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:57.600 how many times he won it For Quail hollow For 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.720 rory is kind of like What bayhill And mamour And 0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:04.919 Tory pines was For, tiger. Right he just loves that. 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:09.199 Place he wins there a. Lot it sets up good for. 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:12.760 Him AND i think the way That bryson is driving 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:14.840 the golf ball right, NOW i think that will be a, 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:18.320 huge huge advantage for him. THERE i think the ball 0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:20.960 striking That Wako neeman has right now will be a 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:25.240 huge advantage. There so, LISTEN i think the game is 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.679 in a good. Place it's A Ryder cup. Year and 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:29.480 if you look at some of the names on This 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:32.760 Ryder cup right, NOW i mean we're looking at some 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:38.080 interesting right. Now top six for The american, Side, Scottie, Xander, Morikawa, 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:42.760 bryson it For Russell, Henley Justin.

POSITIVE 0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:00.920 i really do Think bryson's going to be a big 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:04.240 part of This Ryder cup team At. Bethpage and then 0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:09.560 on The european, side top Six Rory, Raspus, hoyguard Terryl 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:13.040 hatton And Justin, Rose Shane, Lowry Ludwig oberg and then 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:17.880 that's seven to, Twelve Tommy, Fleetwood Thomas, Detree Matt, Wallace Nikolai, 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:22.840 Norgard Lori.
