00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,000

00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: then more football stuff later in the week. Obviously the

00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,720

39
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: d m s and that's how we communicate, that's how

40
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 1: we interact with the people, and let's just start with

41
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: to meet. The star of the weekend was the course.

42
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: It was awesome. I think all anyone wants is to

43
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: see major championships in the low to mid under pars.

44
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: You know, I want to see three, four, five, six

45
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: under in that range win it. Matt Fitzpatrick obviously, I

46
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: mean the shot potentially of his life on a team.

47
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: He was awesome today. He really was. And I'm not

48
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: trying to be a downer. I had money on Will Easy,

49
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: I had one about so I was heavily and I

50
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: mean heavily rooting or Wills alators, which I now think

51
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: it's fair to call him the Buffalo Bills of golf.

52
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy who finishes runner up. It feels

53
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: like every single major tournament. It's crazy. Fitzpatrick hits that

54
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 1: shot on a team from the bunker. I tweeted this out.

55
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: I do believe this. This is not taking anything away.

56
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: He got a little lucky that he landed in the bunker,

57
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: not behind the mound, and he was three or four

58
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: yards to the left of it and had an angle.

59
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: Now he still had to execute the shot. He hit

60
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: a great shot. He two putted for the win. That

61
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: the reaction with his family. I mean, obviously the storylines

62
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: of him and Jack Nicholas are the only guys to

63
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: win the US Amateur and the US Open at the

64
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: same course. And then he even gave the Golden Bear

65
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: a little jab after in the ceremony, saying that Jack

66
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: made fun of him when he won the Member Member

67
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: at Jack's course in Florida, saying that you know it's

68
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: it's sooner or later you're gonna this is his first

69
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: state win in the States. Uh. Well, now he has

70
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: a real win in the States, and it's called the

71
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: U s Open. I mean, he's an awesome player. It's

72
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: been well documented. He was a guy several years ago.

73
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: To me, my favorite Matt Fitzpatrick story is he shows

74
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: up from He's not from America, He's from England. And

75
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: I mean, how many friends of that guy have waiting

76
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: for him in the eighteenth Green he had buddies left

77
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: and right, guys more popular than anyone I've ever seen. Uh.

78
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: But he but he comes from England and he comes

79
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: to States to go to school. But that he showed

80
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: up to Northwestern to play golf, and then he realized

81
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: he also had to go to school. He was like bait.

82
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: He wasn't even one and done. He lasted a semester.

83
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I'm not doing school. I'm here to

84
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: play golf. Quit school, went pro. But he was a

85
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: shorter hitter. Obviously he's an elite player. He has gained

86
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: ball speed, he has gained swing speed, and I wouldn't

87
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: call him like Kepta, d J R. Bryson, but he

88
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: hits the ball more than far enough. I mean, Zala

89
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: Torres is a big time hitter, so he's not quite

90
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: hitting it as far as him. But distance is not

91
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: his issue. He's a great ball striker, you know. And listen,

92
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: he just he got it done today. I mean he

93
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: had that long put. What hole was that like thirteen

94
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: or fourteen? He was awesome. Uh, both those guys I

95
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: thought were awesome. They kept answering the bell after they

96
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: screwed up. Um you know the rough if you missed it.

97
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: There was I think it was the fifteenth hole because

98
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: Salator's birdied whole sixteen, where Fitzpatrick benefited from pumping it

99
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: way right basically almost to the grandstands. Because if you've

100
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: ever been to a PJA golf tournament, let alone a

101
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: major the foot traffic knocks all the grass down and

102
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: Salatoris barely misses the fairway, but he gets in the

103
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: the deep rough and then he bogi's that hole and ultimately,

104
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: if he just parsed that hole, we're in a playoff.

105
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: We're in a two wall playoff, which would have been

106
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: a little weird in the US Open, though, Like listen,

107
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: I love golf, Do I need to see them play

108
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: eighteen holes? Oh? You know, I worked from home. I

109
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: could have easily watched that on Monday. But fitz Patrick man,

110
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: he just he had a lot of hype coming into

111
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: this because he won in two thousand thirteen, and then

112
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: all week they talked about he was living with the

113
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: same guy that hosted him into thirteen. He was sleeping

114
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: in the same bedroom. Uh. And then he didn't just

115
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: live up to the hype. I mean, he he played

116
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: in the final group on Sunday and then basically two

117
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: putted to win them when the US Open and now

118
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: he's a major champion. To me, it's always cool when

119
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: a guy becomes a major champion and he doesn't have

120
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: a PGA Tour win. And speaking of not having a

121
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: PGJA Tour win or not having a major win Zala Torus.

122
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: It's it's insanity. What's going on? I mean he lost

123
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: in a playoff a month ago to j T. He's

124
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: obviously it feels like he finishes runner up in the

125
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: in the Masters the last several years. He easily could

126
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: have won the day. I mean easily could have won

127
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: the day. But the thing is with golf, who knows,

128
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 1: like how many chances are you gonna get? It seems

129
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: and he should be moving forward and auto bet Major's

130
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: Will's out Tours Major and the odds are anything higher

131
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: in like fifteen to one Boom auto bet. I mean

132
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: I got him at twenty five to one. Some books

133
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: you could have got him at thirty to one. He

134
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: is an elite hard golf course player, it's not even debatable.

135
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: And his putting stroke, especially on the short ones, it

136
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: looks a little weird. It's a little horky jerky, but

137
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: it worked. I mean you watch some put today. Obviously,

138
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: in the longer puts, you know, like eight to fifteen feet,

139
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: you actually feel pretty confident. I don't want to say

140
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: I felt like Tiger Woods level he was gonna make

141
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: it on a teen, But I was much more confident

142
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: than the majority of players that he was gonna make

143
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: that putt. And again I'm biased. I had an agenda.

144
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: I had money on the guy, but I also when

145
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: he missed, it just kind of felt like God, I mean,

146
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: this is and I know he made a ton of

147
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: money him and his caddie or an a t M

148
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: machine right now when they play in these majors, but

149
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: it's got to be a kick in the dick. I mean,

150
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: you get so close, final group after final group after

151
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: final group in these major championships and you're just not

152
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: able to get it done for whatever reason. Like today,

153
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: he did not play bad, made a mistake here or there,

154
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: but I don't think it cost him the tournament. I mean,

155
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: when you have a chance to make a putt on

156
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: a team to force a playoff, like you played pretty

157
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: well in the United States Open, you know, like Scottie Scheffler,

158
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: a little bit came out of nowhere. What he had

159
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: four birdies and like the first seven holes, and it

160
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: was like, that's the reason he's the number one player

161
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: in the world, and just what a talent. I mean,

162
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: at one point in time, like if Scotty wins this

163
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: is this one of the easiest players of the years

164
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: of all time. He would have had three PGA Tour victories,

165
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: he would have been a Master champion, he would have

166
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: been the US Open champion, so he would have had

167
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: five total victories. And just like, what are we watching

168
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: right now? He's the number one player in the world.

169
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: How is this possible? But even him and it shows

170
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: you like he's playing so well right now. It's just

171
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: like number two, you know, finished his type T two

172
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: in a major, another huge check. I mean, Scotty Is,

173
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: I'd say right now, I mean him and Wills Alatoris.

174
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: You gotta feel pretty good going into these majors. I mean,

175
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, I had a lot of money on Justin

176
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: Thomas and he was nowhere to be found. Did not

177
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: play very well. I lost a lot of money on

178
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: this tournament. I mean, basically, my my my hopes were

179
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: with Wills Alators who is just a very fun player

180
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: to watch. He really is. He's an enjoyable player to consume.

181
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick is too, might be just how quick as swing is.

182
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: Something about the spf all over his face. He's got braces,

183
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: He's got seventeen buddies going up, jumping up and down

184
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: every time he makes a putt. Listen, I mean that

185
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: was for you know, we're golf nerds. We're gonna watch

186
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: the majors and having non like Tiger or some super

187
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: famous I mean, Rory kind of got in at the end,

188
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: but he was never really in it today, especially like

189
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: after the front nine when he kind of, I don't

190
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: want to say, shot himself out of it, but was

191
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: you know, one undering the leaders were at five or six,

192
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: but without having huge, huge name recognition from a golf standpoint,

193
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: that was as enjoyable as it gets. The drama, the

194
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: back and forth, the back nine, within a shot, one

195
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: guy bogies, the other guy birties. One guy hits a

196
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: long putt, the other guy misses a putt. That you're

197
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: on your edge of your seat there for a couple

198
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: of hours. That the course thrived, the players thrived. Uh

199
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: that that was a very very entertaining product. Now that

200
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: the broadcast NBC basically throws up a big f you

201
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: to the consumer, it's pretty crazy, right. You would never

202
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: come back from Sunday Night Football and here terko Arauld

203
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: Michael's go, well, I know you guys were away a

204
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: break watching Alexis and a Mercedes and an All State commercial.

205
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: But Patrick Mahomes just through the best touchdown you're ever

206
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: gonna see. I mean, at one point to night or today,

207
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler hits the pot. But we're watching like Salatorus

208
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: and Fitzpatrick and all of a sudden, Dan Hicks goes, well,

209
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: Scottie Schaeffler just took the lead. Let's go look at that,

210
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: And then we watched him in a long put like

211
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Guys? You gotta make a better

212
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: consumer product, make it easier to consume somehow, some way.

213
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: That was terrible all weekend long. Pretty big joke. Let's

214
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: be real. The biggest reason, I'll say it over and

215
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: over Live has a chance. Obviously they have an unlimited

216
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: amount of cash, but they show a ton more golf

217
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: than these events. So if they keep stealing players and

218
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: they don't need broadcast partners, they do not need broadcast partners.

219
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: They just need YouTube. YouTube. Like I was just around

220
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: a three world he never stopped watching YouTube. Now, obviously

221
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: he's not their demo, but have you ever been around

222
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: a fifteen seventeen three year old? They ain't watching brought

223
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: these main networks. You do not need them. So if

224
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: liv keeps hammering home, show a ton more golf, they're

225
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: gonna keep separating themselves into the vernacular of the golf fan.

226
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: Because what we had to go through the last couple

227
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: of days, especially on Father's Day, Happy Father's Day to

228
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: all your fathers, that that's unacceptable that we have to

229
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they're spoiling be holes. I mean it's a joke,

230
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: and I know it's difficult. In basketball, football, baseball, we

231
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: never miss a play. Getting golf, it always feels like

232
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: they're way off. They're showing us highlight packages while golf's

233
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: going on. It's like all they have to say is

234
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: like Logan Roy said in uh, I guess Kendall Roy

235
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: said this in the last season of Succession. Be better,

236
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: try harder, try harder, just just figure it out, Like,

237
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: just figure it out, NBC. You got this product because

238
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: Fox sold it off to you for basically a seventy

239
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: percent discount, and you throw more ads then I feel

240
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: like I've ever seen in the history of a golf tournament,

241
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: especially one that was that good. And I know the

242
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: last hour we got commercial free. Well, of course they

243
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: could have, because they gave us seventeen million ads Saturday

244
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,599
Speaker 1: and Sunday leading up to that final hour. But congratulations

245
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: to Matt Fitzpatrick. Um academia was just not his style

246
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: and clearly golf is. And congratulations again to an incredible

247
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: performance from Wills Alatorus, who you just hoping pray eventually

248
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna win a tournament. I don't feel confident about it,

249
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna keep betting on him. I'm rooting for him.

250
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: Who isn't because right now he's kind of the buffalo

251
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: bills of golf. Luckily he's like, you know, he ain't forty,

252
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: he's years old, he's got a lot of time, He's

253
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: got a great skinny waist, and he bombs the ball.

254
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: And Scottie Scheffler, who's just having an all time season. Okay,

255
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: coming at you live Sunday night, uh with six time

256
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: PGA Tour winner, the guy who's finished in the top

257
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: ten in this tournament multiple times, top six, a top four.

258
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: He knows what tough golf is all about. Hunter Mahan,

259
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: my friend, how you doing, man? I'm doing excellent? You know,

260
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: I felt I feel super charged from what we just saw.

261
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: It was just um, you know, you should it gets

262
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: banged done a lot for the For sometimes other setups

263
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: they need to be applied it for this tournament, and

264
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: what they did, they give us an incredible product. We

265
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: were entertained. I was entertained from thirsday on the way

266
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: to Sunday. I thought it was just an incredible, incredible tournament.

267
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: Well I was. I was diving into your wiki. You've

268
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: played in this tournament a lot. Obviously, the venues matter,

269
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: but I would say consistently over time, the toughness of

270
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: the US Open, right, the length of the rough, the

271
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: tightness of the fairways, and and you know that the

272
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: greens explain what it's like to be a player on

273
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: the weekend at a US Open, in the in the pressure.

274
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you've been in the mix to win these things. Yeah,

275
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit of what you saw out

276
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: there was guys I mean ten twelve feet and you

277
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: can tell that they're so meek, they're just kind of

278
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: lagging them up there. And that's what you get being

279
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: in below the hole and above the hole, and some

280
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: of the positions that you're in matter a great deal.

281
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: You might be thirty feet, but if you're putting uphill,

282
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: and most of those uphill puts the way the ball

283
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: is gonna trickle down, you probably have a pretty straight put.

284
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: You saw how many times did you see these guys

285
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: pin higher past bit high and they were just you know,

286
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: you can tell they're looking way high. They're looking at

287
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: how my ball is gonna come into the hole. From

288
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: the even sideways. I saw Zander make a put that

289
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: came into the back door. I mean, it's just a

290
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: constant grind on every single shot from the first hold

291
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: to the last hole. There was just no let ups

292
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: on the scuff coarse. You're gonna have to grind it out.

293
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: And if you don't, if you make a mistake, like

294
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: we saw a lot of times on eleven, guys flying

295
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: over the green boom and it's a double. And all

296
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden you make a double on the US Open,

297
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: it feels like a tournament. So well, let's start on fifteen. Uh,

298
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: they're they're tied and Zalatorus maybe he's one down, pumps

299
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: it just a little off the fairway and he's in

300
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: the tough rough. Fitzpatrick pumps it way into the gallery

301
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: and is in, gets a g lie and has a

302
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: much longer shot, but he hits it on the green.

303
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: What do you think there? And is that just part

304
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: of are are you better off in in the U

305
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: S Open? Pumping it away into the gallery? If there's

306
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: aren't trees, then you are just barely missing the fairway.

307
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: That's that was probably the biggest moment of the tournament,

308
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: right like that whole those guys were battling all day

309
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: and you saw his lie. You could just see his

310
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: whole ball over there. Fitzpatrick and it you can see

311
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: it seems like you can see the whole years. Obviously

312
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to shape it. He hit a phenomenal shot,

313
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: but it just shows you the difference in situation and

314
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: just that moment right like he was probably thinking for

315
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: a time, we've got four holes left. There's a lot

316
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: of golfs that we played, but I have a great

317
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: opportunity here and it's a right I mean, it was

318
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: just a phenomenal, phenomenal shot. I still thought Zalt tourist,

319
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: even though um he was in the rough. He's been

320
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: impeccable out of the rough this week. These guys are

321
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: really been able to hit it even in the rough,

322
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: still able to hit it on the green. I know,

323
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: I think it was nine when he was kind of

324
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: out of the rough from a two yards he hit

325
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: up there. I think it's a fifteen made birdie, so

326
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna hit a pretty good shot.

327
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: I was actually surprised, but that just happens, right, I mean,

328
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: you're in the rough. You just don't know what you're

329
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: gonna get sometimes. Obviously, that was the swing hole for

330
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: the for the whole tournament. When Matt made that pub,

331
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: I guess they were tied because they were both five under.

332
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: He birdies, he goes to six under, Zaltoris Bogies goes

333
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: to four under, and then sixteen. The pins tuck back right.

334
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: Salatrus just shows the metal and the and the stones, birdies,

335
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: the whole I mean, going into that obviously that the

336
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: guys were struggling to even get it close and what

337
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: like within ten feet What a shot from the Dallas Native.

338
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: I thought, um, you can tell it like I think

339
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: a billion fits were kind of image wing clubs there

340
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: between the six and five. They knew that, you know,

341
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: long that whole, just the green has been so firm

342
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: all the ways. They know if we just fled anywhere

343
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: on the green, it's gonna get pretty far. In medal To,

344
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: back there. I mean he ripped the six, obviously flushed it.

345
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: I mean Matt really was hitting it really nice on

346
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: the back nine with his irons. It seemed like he

347
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: was in complete control um And soon as really hit it,

348
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought it was leaking. I thought, boy,

349
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna catch that Biden, right and everyone's probably like, oh,

350
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: it's just a little too and it just got a

351
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: great bounce. But it was an absolute, like you said,

352
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: just a big stone shot. Like you're one bat with

353
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: three to go, you don't really have time to just

354
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: hope something happens at that point. You gotta be aggressive,

355
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: and he was, and you know, and that's you know,

356
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: you're relying on your strengths, and his strengths are as irons,

357
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: and so he had a great reason to be aggressive

358
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: on that shot because he can still put it up

359
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: in the air and it was just phenomenal shot, phenomenal

360
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: put all of a sudden, you know, the games back on.

361
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: Is it fair to say, when you were playing your

362
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 1: best golf, you're known as a great iron player. Yes, yes, so,

363
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: so when you're in that situation and in this type

364
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: tournament and the greens are rock hard, you really you're

365
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: trying to fly it between like on or whatever the

366
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: distances and then let a role. I mean, how hard

367
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: even for the best players in the world, guys like yourself,

368
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: guys when you're locked in, I mean, is there just

369
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: zero margin because if you hit it one seventy eight,

370
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,239
Speaker 1: you're in the bunker, right, and if you hit it,

371
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: if you catch it two too, well, one night you're

372
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: going over. It just has to be the perfect shot.

373
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: I mean, is that basically what you gotta do? Yeah,

374
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's some of the third and

375
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: ten in a football game, right in the Super Bowl,

376
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: you gotta need it. You're just gonna have to make

377
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: the throat. When you make the throat, you gonna have

378
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: to make the swing. When you have that opportunity, you're

379
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: one down, you gotta go. I mean, you just you can't.

380
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 1: At seventeens or Bernie whole for both everybody, eighteen was

381
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: I felt like eighteen was still not not easy, but

382
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: it's not a whole you want to rely on to

383
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: think that you're lengthening pick it up, right, I mean,

384
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: it's that was a great opportunity for him, and he

385
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: took advantage and it was just a big time shot.

386
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: And like you said, you really that. I remember Thursday Friday,

387
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 1: I think Victor hit like a seven iron. He hit

388
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: on the front of the green and it had no chance,

389
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: like it was flying over the green. So I think

390
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: the weather helped, of course a little bit. They probably,

391
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: um that was one whole. It seemed like that usually

392
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: kind of lost it, you know, early on that that week,

393
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: but um, they kind of made up for it the weekend.

394
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: It was. It was a tough shot, but you can

395
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: see the ball was reacting a lot better than it

396
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: was early in the week because you would hate for

397
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: a moment like that for the golf course to sort

398
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: of take over, and it allowed you know, Willie to

399
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: hit a great shot in there and make Bertie. I mean,

400
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: it was just it was absolutely phenomenal. Yeah, in all

401
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: of the shots he's hitting the majors, I mean that

402
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: has to be right up there, giving he's two shots back,

403
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: three shots to go, three holes to go, just an

404
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: incredible Then seventeen they both Paul will had a great look.

405
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean this matter had a pretty good look too.

406
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: So you go into you go into a team, you know,

407
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 1: I know, you never won a major but you've won

408
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: PGA tournament, you have a lead going into eighteen. Do

409
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: you got to change your mindset of what you've been

410
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: hitting when you're watching him pull out of three? Would

411
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: Would you just hit like a five iron to the

412
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: middle of the fairway or you just gotta play your game?

413
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: You got a one shot lead in a major on Sunday.

414
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: We just saw a meto right, I mean a month ago,

415
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: screw it up so and the only place you can

416
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: miss his left and it feels like every once in

417
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: a while he can get the hooks. Uh, what you

418
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: did there? I mean, what you what should he have done?

419
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: I know the outcome ended up working out, but he

420
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: got he was right on the fence. They were getting screwed. Yes, yes,

421
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: I mean it's I you play to your strengths like

422
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: I've always gonna lean through my driver and my arms,

423
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: like when I needed a big shot, like I'm always

424
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: pulling the driver. There's no doubt about it. I feel

425
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: like I trust that club the most um that has

426
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: kind of a it's a quick temple swing, right, it

427
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: kind of brings it inside kind of like it's it's

428
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: it's his swing, right. You don't no one's really gonna

429
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: teach that you kind of have to work with it. Um,

430
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: And I think it works with irons fine, but you know,

431
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: when you get the longer clubs, when that thing's got,

432
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: you gotta give it a little bit more time. I mean,

433
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: it was going pretty fast right, kind of like you know,

434
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: it's like the body's going the club has got a

435
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: long way to go still. So um, but I thought

436
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: the left on that whole, I felt like, you hit

437
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: it right, you're just getting further away from the hole.

438
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: So I did think if you didn't miss it left,

439
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: it felt like it was actually an easier shot there.

440
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: But that's just a big boy airway bunker shot. I

441
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: mean he hoisted it there. Um, you know, I thought

442
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: it was really interested. Justin Larward talks about he's been

443
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: working really hard on on developing club speed and mattering

444
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: with Fitzpatrick. So I think Justin Leonard said he saw

445
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: him after a terment even after he wont he went

446
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: right back home to Florida, I started getting speed. So

447
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: I think speed hitting it further has been a big

448
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: part of his game and elevating to being a major

449
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: champion now. But um, you gotta go with complete with comfort. There,

450
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: and you know he's got a great caddy. Billy foxter

451
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: Billy Fox has been this one countless tournament. So I'm

452
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: sure they thought like, this is our best opportunity to

453
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: here to hit the fairway. Um, we don't want to driver.

454
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: I clearly they might have not confidence with hitting the fairway.

455
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: The probably the tournaments they probably feel like it's, you know,

456
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: we have a great chance to win. But you know,

457
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if they got lucky, but hitting a

458
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: fair with bumper shot of that magnitude at that moment,

459
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: it's just unbelievable for sure. So he hits on the

460
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: greens al tour has had a great drive. You know

461
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: he doesn't have what do you do there? Mean you

462
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: flore going dead red? You got a wedge, It spends

463
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: back too much, you gotta go long. You know, he

464
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: had a good look. But I bet you know ten

465
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: times he has that shot ten times. He'd like to

466
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: be a little closer right at your guys level, And

467
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: in that moment, you just you don't want to get

468
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: ultra aggressive and end up like screwing yourself right, So

469
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: you almost have to be aggressively conservative in a weird way.

470
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: You want to give yourself. I mean after I think, well,

471
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: after Matt hit it up there, I mean he's too putting.

472
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 1: It's all right, right, he's it's we gotta be aggressive,

473
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: and he did a good shot. But I just remember

474
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: Shuffer's play and then Fitzpatrick's putt. You're thinking it just

475
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: doesn't go as much as it looks. And of course,

476
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: and I mean just he did what exactly what I

477
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: think everyone was watching is he hit it too high.

478
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: It's just it's just a punk that looks like it's

479
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: gonna break more right than than actually he's there, and

480
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: as the fan, you're watching it over and over and

481
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: over again watching it happen. Um, he just hit it

482
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: too high. It was a great put it was a

483
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: great hole. I mean he did. He said the punt

484
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: in seventeen is the one that's gonna right bother him

485
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: because that's up the gut. I mean it's you just

486
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: don't get a better look at a major than that

487
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: on to tie it up. So that's the one that's

488
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: gonna bother you. Um, but that was a great eighteen

489
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: soll he played, he did everything could. He played great.

490
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: He just was one shot short this week. I mean,

491
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: you've been at the highest level now around the game

492
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: and around these guys for a long time. I mean,

493
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: how many times can you cut this close? I mean,

494
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: the guy just finished in the playoff feels like he's finished.

495
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: And he's been in the last group of the Masters

496
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: several times. He easily could have won the day. Like

497
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: it's just you know, you say it's gonna happen, but

498
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: you know how hard it is. It's just one of

499
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: those things, like how do you sleep at night if

500
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: you're him? Yeah, I think it's you know, he's still

501
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: a young guy. I think he I think he needs

502
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: to get a win, right, like I love him. For

503
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: next week Trailer's Championship. I think he's gonna win. I

504
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: really do. I think it's I think it's what I

505
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: was thinking about this beginning of the week, like he's

506
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: gonna win Travelers. I think it's a perfect off course

507
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: for him. It's gonna set up really well. He can

508
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: hit his his fade kind of on almost every single

509
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: hole or something kind of um in his way, you know,

510
00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: like a lot of there are some holes there where

511
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: you need to draw, and he can tell he's not

512
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: as comfortable doing that. Um. I think he just looks

513
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: at He's like, I'm twenty five years old. I'm I've

514
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: been in contention twice. Um, I got so much golf

515
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: ahead of me. Um. I mean he is putting. I

516
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: don't feel like he's He left put short today, but

517
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: his putting wasn't a problem. Um. He just hit a

518
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: few squarely drivers probably gave him more fits than anything else.

519
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: But I mean, he's playing unbelievable golf right now. He's

520
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: a guy that can. That can in the next calendar year.

521
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: I went three or four times. Um, But those majors

522
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: are I mean, you only get four opportunities a year,

523
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: so they feel so special and they feel so um

524
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: unique and like you. For as much as you think

525
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: he knows, he's like, I just gotta keep putting myself there.

526
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: It feels like it's not totally true. It's to fill

527
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: a long time, surgio, a lot a lot of great

528
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: players a long time to a major because you just

529
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: have so many, even so few opportunities. Um. But as

530
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: I said, you know yesterday, with no laying up guys,

531
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: ball striking travels the way he hit it, I mean

532
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: that last a lifetime. Sure, It's why he played so

533
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: well at the Masters. I mean, that's your l a

534
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: country club. I mean, he's gonna be right in the

535
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: mix there. He can hit it for for a split second.

536
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: Today more than a split second. A couple holes, it

537
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: felt like, is Scotty Scheffler really gonna rattle off like

538
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: five or six wins this year and be the U

539
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: S Open and Master's Champion? I mean, what you know

540
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: him at all? What's your take on Scotty's game? And

541
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: just is he just an all time heater or is

542
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: this something that's gonna stay for a while. You know.

543
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: I met Scotty Um and his dad when Scotty was,

544
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: you know, eight nine years old, and I was taking

545
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: lessons from Randy Smith, who's Scotty's teacher now and and

546
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: Randy's Randy Smith is an all time coach. He doesn't

547
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: get any praise. He doesn't really want me, but he

548
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: taught me for for a really long time, justin Leonard

549
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: for a long time. And Scotty shuffers since he was

550
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: a kid, and so he deserves a matter of respect

551
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: for everything that he's done for a while of golfers's

552
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: he's excellent. So I knew Scotty when he was little

553
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: obviously with the colleagues, and I turned pro sort of

554
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: lost touch that I kept hearing every time I come home.

555
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: Like Scotty said, he said it like another course record.

556
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I broke another course record. He broke his

557
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: own course record. Like he like, he goes low a lot.

558
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: He's not afraid of any sort of moments. Um, he's

559
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: just I think he's a guy who's not like I said,

560
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: he's not afraid of the moment. I think he's here

561
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: to say, there's no nothing part of this game that

562
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: you know concerns you. His putting stroke is phenomenal, like

563
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: he made like he saw the start today, I mean

564
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: just rolling everything in. Um, he has a great his

565
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: emotions are completely in check. So none of these moments,

566
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: you can tell that he's not at all intimidated by

567
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: anything that's coming his way. So I think he's gonna

568
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: be around a really, really a long time. You know,

569
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: I didn't want to touch on this, but I mean

570
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: it's one of the bigger stories in golf, and I

571
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: and you and I were texting and talking about it

572
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. Uh, the live thing, and I've

573
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: heard I saw the answer. It's gonna he's basically announced

574
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: without announcement is going and people think, like, get ready,

575
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: more names are going you know, you know all these

576
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: people and all these agents. I mean it's the talk

577
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: of golf. Uh, just initial takes on live the product

578
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: and just kind of where it's clearly heading with more

579
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: and more. I mean a answer is the top twenty

580
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: player in the world Bryson. I know he's injured, but

581
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: I mean Bryson was a huge get for them a

582
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago or whatever. Does it feel like

583
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna slow down your thoughts? It's a great question.

584
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: I've talked to a lot of people about it, trying

585
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: to gain some sort of perspective understanding of what's happening.

586
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: I mean, Um, they have so much freedom and what

587
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna do going forward. I mean, they had a

588
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: fifty four whole event the first one, shotguns start. I

589
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: don't think that's going to continue. I think they have

590
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: to eventually go to semi two holes. Um, they're gonna

591
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: and stop the shotgun starts on you know the weekend. Um,

592
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: they're getting more legitimate players. They're very international right now

593
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: right there, it doesn't feel like they're very um of

594
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: of like American and it's kind of a weird way

595
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: to say, but a ram answer and and and you

596
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: know they got um although I was Sergio on lead

597
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: and all these top names for here for the been

598
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: there a long long time. I'm hearing, you know, some

599
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: South Americans might be coming over. But we'll see. We

600
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: just we kind of just don't know. Um. But the

601
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: fields are getting better. Um, they are going to get

602
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: all the ranking points, have become a more legitimate of

603
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: a tour. Um, we'll see what the European Tour does

604
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: kind of going forward. I hear guys are gonna be

605
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: allowed to go to Germany, but they're not gonna be

606
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: allowed to play in the Scottish I'm not sure how

607
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: that works. It's really interesting. UM. I think if they

608
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: get through this whole year of eight tournaments, I think

609
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna be pretty excited and they're gonna see kind

610
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: of where they end up going forward for next year.

611
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: But I don't see them going away anytime soon. I

612
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be here for the next few years.

613
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: We'll see if they get a television contract, which I

614
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: hear I think they're going to get. Um. I mean

615
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: this this feels like just the beginning, you know, for

616
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: for all the talk and all the players, I think

617
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: I was happy that the US Open was the US

618
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: Open and we got to see an incredible product and

619
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: nothing was sort of stained by that. Um, but this

620
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: isn't going away. We've just really begun this, uh you know,

621
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: this turmoil and this interaction Whens pointing the PGA Tour

622
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: and then Live Golf. It's it's really we've just begun.

623
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: Do you think that the kind of the breaking down

624
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: the damn would be for them to get one of

625
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: the top American guys, you know, whether it be one

626
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: of the guys that have been openly anti them, or

627
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: even just all of a sudden get a sand Burns,

628
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: the Scotti chef or something like that. I'm not saying

629
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like they're close to doing that. The money.

630
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: It's just it's gonna get harder and harder if they

631
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: become more and more legitimate. Right well, I think it

632
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: seems like strengths and numbers. It's interesting saying one guy go,

633
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,479
Speaker 1: but what about four or five guys get together and

634
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: say and bring their whole group to the live tour.

635
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: That's gonna be pretty powerful when they just say this

636
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: is our number and then we'll divide it up as

637
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: we see fit. Um, that would be more powerful than

638
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: a guy like a Sam Burns going over. If somehow,

639
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, Spee and Scheffler and Justin got together and said,

640
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: well let's just strow out a ridiculous number and let's

641
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: see what happ that would be powerful. I think these

642
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: little guys one guy here, one guy there, that's that's okay.

643
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: That that the tour can kind of get through that.

644
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: But if someone, if a big group comes together and says, hey,

645
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: this is our number. It's astronomical. We'll see what we

646
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: can get and they get it, then that would be

647
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting, uh interesting story, interesting kind of

648
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: plot twist to what we're seeing. But I mean, the

649
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: more terments they have, the more going forward. It's just

650
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna keep building for them. Well, I know they

651
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: have one coming up, and they might have a couple

652
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: before St. Andrew's. I know, we take a lot of

653
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: pride like the the US open the media was it

654
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: feels like over there. I mean they were just getting

655
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: peppered in England and it's gonna be a really big

656
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: deal that week in St. Andrew's with all the European media, right,

657
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: don't don't you think that that's gonna these guys, especially

658
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: that crew of guys that the Euros are some of

659
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: their main group. It's only gonna even come more to light,

660
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: especially as more and more guys go that given week

661
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: which you know St. Andrew's and I know you've played it,

662
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: it's gotta be one of the more special places you

663
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,959
Speaker 1: can play golf, you know, in a major turn right,

664
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. It's the city, the talents right there behind

665
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: you on this backdrop, this historic golf force, with all

666
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: these moments you can see in your brain and see

667
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: in your mind revisit. It's just it's an incredible, incredible place.

668
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: That's that's when you do get to play a British

669
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: at St. Andrew's is definitely a special, a special place

670
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: because you really you get there early. Um, you're there

671
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: for it feels like about ten days or so, kind

672
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: of getting acclimated. It's just it's an amazing scene. And um,

673
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: that will be interesting how the media is going to

674
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: approach those players. Are they gonna be super aggressive or

675
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: they're going to be super respectful of the events and

676
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: How are the players gonna keep talking going forward? Because

677
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: it feels like if I was the PGA Tour, the

678
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: PGA Tour players, I'm done talking about it. There are

679
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: no more statements, there's no more um. You know, Rory,

680
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: you know, Rory kind of keeps chirping at it. I

681
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: think he, I think he just needs to stop and say,

682
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm a PGA Tour member, I'm very proud, I'm trying

683
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: to win majors interments. I'm not talking about this anymore.

684
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: But he keeps kneeling at it for some reason, I'm

685
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: not sure, but that's what I would do if I

686
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: was a PGA Tour player. I'm like, I'm done talking

687
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: about this, So we'll see what the media does. Are

688
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: extremely respectful of the RNA and the British Open, but

689
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: I mean they could be really aggressive, and they could

690
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: be a really mean toward you know, Dustin and a

691
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: Ram and Surge and and Lee. I mean, they could

692
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: go at them pretty hard if they want. Um. So

693
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. I'm not I could see both,

694
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: and I could see and I could see you know,

695
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: some players just saying, well, I'm not doing media this week.

696
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: Just go ahead, and find me. So, I don't know.

697
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: We'll see. We'll see how it goes going forward. It's

698
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty interesting. Are you guys obligated financially by

699
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: the tour or by the tournament if they ask you

700
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: to do the podium to do it kind of like

701
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL with your mandated talk once a week,

702
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: or can you avoid it? I think you could turn

703
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: it down. I mean they always ask certain interest to

704
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: do it and stuff. I mean I think, I mean

705
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: most guys do it when they're asked, right, Yes, yeah,

706
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: I mean most everyone does it. But I mean I

707
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: think guys, I mean, we'll would Phil decline, Yeah, I

708
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: think he might. I think he's probably done talking about it.

709
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: I think there's no I think I think guys will talk,

710
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: and I don't think they'll say anything. I think they'll

711
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: just be like, I'm here, gonna playing the British Show

712
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: and I don't really need to discuss anything further. There's

713
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: gonna be one guy who took this week off who

714
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: has been very very supportive of the tour. He wears

715
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: red on Sunday. Who's gonna we all think it's gonna

716
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: be there right in that tournament is sacred him who

717
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: might have some takes it, might have some things to

718
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: say that that week about this whole because they again,

719
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: there'll be several events for him to have. I'm sure

720
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: he's clicked on the YouTube and checked it out, right, Yeah,

721
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: I mean it's he's the best at it. Right. He

722
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: gets up there and he answers every question but doesn't

723
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: say anything. Um, were you surprised? Were you surprised he

724
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: turned down seven eight hundred million dollars? Not really, because, um,

725
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure he talked to them, but you never know

726
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: what was being asked. And you know, Tiger is not

727
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: gonna he's not gonna do what he wants to do. Um,

728
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: he's gonna respect the tour and the meaning of things.

729
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: But um, those guys are working for that living miney.

730
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: I mean they are doing events, pro ams, um parties, dinners, like,

731
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot to do. This is not just it

732
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: might it's it's guaranteed money, but it's not free money.

733
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna work for it every single week

734
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: they play and do things that we don't even really

735
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: know about, but they're gonna work it that week for sure.

736
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: And Tigers done with that, Like if I'm Tiger. I'm like, listen,

737
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: you know if you're advising and like, listen your ability

738
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: in here? Now? What do you just? I think simplicity

739
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: for his life and what he's doing. He's just trying

740
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: to get healthy enough to play tournaments. Obviously. I mean

741
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: he skipped you with open because he's just not there.

742
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: So I don't think Tiger's he's not glad handing get

743
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: the change groups tournament right like you. I don't think that.

744
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: I just don't think what's he gonna do with that.

745
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: I think he's just kind of like it's honestly just

746
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: not worth it for him. And I think he just

747
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: I think he just wants to get healthy enough to

748
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: play tournaments. It's it's where his mind is right now.

749
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: The guys you've talked to and your friends with on

750
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: the tour, are they interested? Do a lot of guys

751
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: turned off by the whole thing? Or is it just

752
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: kind of a mixed bag on the individual. I think

753
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: it's a mixed bag of the individual. It seems like

754
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: it seems like most dirty and under are just trying

755
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: to win tournaments. They have really don't have much interest

756
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: in what's sort of being offered. They just kind of Um,

757
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: I think most golfers that I've talked to or or

758
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: have heard are just trying to play golf. They want

759
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,439
Speaker 1: simplicity in their life. They don't want to law suit,

760
