US Americans we called the 40 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: British Open. They call it the Open. I think you're 41 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: supposed to call it the Open, but I just call 42 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: it the British. It's some of my favorite golf. I mean, 43 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: there's if you watched any last week, it's just so cool. 44 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: It really is. It's cold, the ocean's always in the background, 45 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: or tends to be, and it's just fun. And the 46 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: courses can be a little you know, some are more 47 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: lynxy than others. Royal Troon back in two thousand and sixteen, 48 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: I was reading an article today before I podcasted, before 49 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: I hopped on here because I am podcasting that Phil 50 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: Mickelson said it's the only time in his life that 51 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: he played the absolute best golf he possibly could play 52 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: and still lost. And Henrick Sens she shot sixty three 53 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: and one. I don't vividly remember that. Where would I 54 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: have been. I don't know where, if I think I 55 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: would have been my condo and Walnut Creek. I remember 56 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: watching it and they were just hitting just absurd shots. 57 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: It felt like both of them, it was like a 58 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: video game. And obviously Stinson one. Now they're both on 59 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: liv they're both old. I think Stenson's almost fifty and 60 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: Phil's fifty four. But that was two guys just throwing darts. 61 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: And hopefully that happens this week because we're going to 62 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: dive in some of the biggest storylines my betting card. 63 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: I mean, there are three guys I like a lot, 64 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: hint Ludwig Hatton Fleetwood.

And if you want to 91 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: go to a football game this fall college ro my 92 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: boy Tim Skipper because Jeff Tedford just stepped down was 93 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: named the head coach of the Fresno State Bulldogs. I 94 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: might have to get a Bulldog game. Got one last year, 95 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: waved my guy Skipper as an assistant.

Garan teed, where do we start? 108 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: I was going to start just my overall love of 109 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: this tournament, but then I thought, you know, let's play 110 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,119 Speaker 1: the hits here. And I think there are three major 111 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: story lines going into this tournament. First and foremost, he's 112 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: having a historic season. Many are comparing him to a 113 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: guy that goes by Eldrick Tiger Woods, and it's he's 114 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: an elite player, it's his season. Once he got arrested, 115 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: went to a different universe. But I saw reports a 116 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: couple weeks ago, and people have talked about this on 117 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: a lot of the golf podcasts that him and Marikawa, 118 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: for example, are ten percent more accurate off the tee. 119 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: Why technology is stupid and I benefit from that technology. 120 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: I mean with my swing I would never break eighty. 121 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: But because of the ability to hit these clubs that 122 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: even when you miss go straight or not that far 123 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: left or right, you can shoot much lower scores. And 124 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: no one benefits more than that right now than the pros. 125 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: Let's face it, the two best players of my life, 126 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: Phil and Tiger could not hit it straight off the tee, 127 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: could not do it. I saw someone describe Tiger there, 128 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: you know the crazy thing about him. He sprayed it 129 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: all over the place in most tournaments, Yet the last 130 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: nine holes he would hit three wood and he would 131 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: hit two iron, and he wouldn't miss a fair way right. Well, 132 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: in this modern day golf, a twenty eight year old 133 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: Tiger would be hitting at three hundred and forty yards 134 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: and he'd be in the fairway the majority of the time. 135 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: But to me, for Scotty to truly be compared to Tiger, 136 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: no matter what happens this weekend, he could miss the cut. 137 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: He's going to be the player of the year. It's 138 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: been well reported how much money he's already made. Hell, 139 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: his caddy has made more money than the majority of 140 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: guys on the PGA Tour, and new Slash caddies get 141 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: about ten percent of their player's earnings. I do think 142 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: he needs to win this weekend. Like you can't compare 143 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: him to Tiger, not when you factor in the equipment, 144 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: because in two thousand, like Tiger's had seasons where he 145 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: wins multiple majors, and most of the great all time 146 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: players have had those seasons, and Scotty has a very 147 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: great opportunity to be in that conversation. But to do it, 148 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: you got to go across the pond and win. And 149 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: it's been well documented, Like, let's face it, Scotty might 150 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: win Augusta five times in his life. I mean it's 151 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: very very possible, right what Phil's won at three times, 152 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: Tiger's won at five times. He's gonna play well there, 153 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: like that's going to happen and eventually he'll knock off 154 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: a PGA or a US Open. But is he gonna 155 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: win this weekend? That's what's unique about this tournament, right, 156 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: because the elements come into play, it brings in a 157 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: lot of random guys into play. We've had random winners 158 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: over the years, and it a little like Augusta. Under 159 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: that umbrella of certain guys play Augusta really well. Like 160 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson at sixty year years old. Would it be 161 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 1: shocking if you like top twenty, right, But he's not 162 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: gonna top twenty at sixty years old. Hell, he's not 163 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: gonna make the cut, probably at any other tournament in 164 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: the majors. I don't know how Live operates, but they 165 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: don't have a cut, so he will play into the weekend. 166 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, And I like history. 167 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: I've said it forever. I watch sports not for the randos, 168 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 1: not for the overachievers. Like I like watching Michael Jordan, 169 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: I loved watching Tiger Woods. I loved watching Tom Brady 170 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: and paid Manny. I like watching it for the great players. 171 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: So I like watching Scotti Scheffler because every time you 172 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: turn on the TV, you think he's gonna win. But 173 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: when we talk about history and we talk about getting 174 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: in this like iconic class of Jack Arnie, I mean, 175 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: and Tiger, I'm sorry, you gotta do it this year, 176 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: and to do it, I mean, win this championship, and 177 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: who knows, if he doesn't get arrested on that rainy 178 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: Kentucky morning, maybe he wins the US Open that clearly 179 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: threw him off, excuse me, the PGA, the US Open, 180 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: he was off shit. It happens right, it will be 181 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: no one will even mention Pinehurst if he wins this weekend. 182 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: But if he doesn't and he finishes like seventeenth great season, 183 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: he'll probably win the FedEx and turn into like an 184 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: NBA player salary, like the guys that are gonna make 185 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty seven when he makes sixty million dollars 186 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: on the golf course. But to be an absolute legend, 187 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: you gotta go to Royal True and win. The guy 188 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: who's got a chance to be a legend is Bryson, 189 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: and I think he is fascinating coming into this bad 190 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: boy because the live guys once a major ends, they disappear. 191 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: Now Bryson doesn't totally because you can find him on 192 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: YouTube and it's pretty enjoyable to watch. It's very very entertaining. 193 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: But if you told me I could have anyone win 194 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: it this weekend, I'm not gonna put any money on Bryson, 195 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: but I think that'd be pretty fascinating. Now when you 196 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: look at his career rerec across the Pond, it has 197 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: not been good. Beside a t eight at the Open 198 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: when cam Smith, you know, knocked off Rory. A couple 199 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: of years ago, which at the time would have been 200 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: the biggest bet I'd ever hit, would have made me 201 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: like six thousand dollars, and Rory couldn't make a putt 202 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: to save his life. Bryson finished T. Eight, but in 203 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: every other time that he's been at the Open Championship, 204 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: he's never finished better than T. Thirty three, So it's 205 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: not like he has a ton of success, a little 206 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: like Scheffler, So like, I don't know, I just think 207 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: he's pretty fascinating this weekend because he's such a wild card. 208 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: If he's just playing at the level he's been playing, 209 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: you can spray it a little right at Open Championships 210 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: in general, depending it's a little like Pinehurst. She's got 211 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: to keep your fingers crossed and short game is huge. 212 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: Short game is massive. What we saw at Pinehurst, his 213 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: wedges around the green are elite. And here's the thing 214 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: with Bryson, he's a really, really good putter. Now, the 215 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: thing with these courses in Ireland and Scotland, if you 216 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: watched last weekend at the Genesis, this ain't Pinehurst, that 217 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: this isn't Augusta. Greens aren't concrete because they have to 218 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: play them a little longer and slower because of the 219 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: setup of these tournaments and because of the weather. I 220 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: don't know what else to say. Beside, I can't wait 221 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: to just see what Bryson does. And I think that's 222 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: where he's at right now in this sport. You could argue, 223 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: like Scott, he's got more on the line in the 224 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: sense of like he's chasing a true Tiger season. Bryson's 225 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: just I gotta tune in. I said this about him 226 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: at the US Open, I'll say it about him this weekend, 227 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be this way moving forward. As long 228 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: as he's playing like this, He's got a Barry Bond's quality. 229 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: Barry in his heyday in the steroid days that the 230 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: baseball riders hated it. You know who didn't us the fans, 231 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: us the consumer because when he came up to the plate, 232 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: we fucking turned it on and could not move and 233 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: most of the time that ball went flying, and a 234 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: lot of them flew way over the fence. And that's 235 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: how I feel like with Bryson. The difference is it's 236 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: like he has the Barry power clearly. You know, whatever 237 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: he was on, he ain't on it anymore. But he 238 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: also was the touch. It's like he's a great like 239 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: slap hitter. He can and he can run, like he's 240 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: kind of become a five tool player. And last but 241 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: not least, Roy McElroy and I watched a decent amount 242 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: on Saturday. He was playing pretty good. He looks pretty good. 243 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: I thought, like after a week past that that thing 244 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: wasn't going to derail him. That was the most biggest 245 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: letdown of the last couple of years, clearly for him 246 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: missing that putt and then Bryson hitting that bunker shot. 247 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: But like Rory ain't twenty four, He's been through the ring. 248 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: I would expect him to play well this weekend. The 249 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: one pushback I would have. And this is just a 250 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: bigger picture with the sport moving forward. Some call it 251 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: an activity. I called a sport. Really one of the 252 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: only things I've ever been good at and you could 253 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: argue how good I am, but decent can beat the 254 00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: majority of players. Is that Rory said that when he 255 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: stormed out, and like, did he regret not speaking to 256 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: the media, and you know, essentially not what he said 257 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: was not at all like I don't He didn't say 258 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: I don't owe you anything, but you guys were the 259 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: least of my worries. And that's kind of the problem 260 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: with the sport of golf, because after you win or 261 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: lose a Super Bowl, after you win or lose a 262 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: World Series. After Steph Curry and the Warriors lost three 263 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: to one to Lebron and the Cleveland Cavaliers, they talk 264 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: it isn't about the media, Like I got news for you. 265 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: The legacy media is dying by the day, so it's 266 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: not about them. It's about what they say and then 267 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: what the fan gets to consume, because the fan is 268 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: the guy providing all the money to all of this 269 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: because of the TV that the TV money is providing 270 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: all the cash. And that's what makes everything interesting is 271 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: the agony of defeat. You know, we talk so much 272 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: about the triumph and winning and the championships and big 273 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: time victories. You could argue devastating losses are equally as interesting, 274 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: could argue they're more I think I said after the 275 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: US Open, a choke job might be more fascinating than 276 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: a great win. The O seven Patriots losing to ELI 277 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: like they could not complete the undefeated season twenty eight 278 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: to three. Matt Ryan and Kyle Shanahan comes up all 279 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: the time. Obviously in the world of golf, John Vanderveld 280 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: and Greg Norman. Greg Norman got a thirty for thirty 281 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: on that Masters, And I was young at the time 282 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: and watching it, It's like, God, that is pretty great. 283 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: Losing six shot lead on Sunday six shot lead. Now, 284 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: ry didn't lose a six shot lead. He had a 285 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: two shot lead with and Bryson had six I think 286 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: six or seven holes left and he had six because 287 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: they kept saying Rory as five. Well, Bryson was a 288 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: group behind him. But like when you talk after that 289 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,119 Speaker 1: and show your emotions, like that's probably the most fascinating 290 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: thing that could happen. Like what are you really gonna say? 291 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: Like what are Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown saying after 292 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: they win? Right, we've been together for this is awesome, 293 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: this is sweet. We're gonna enjoy this to grind all 294 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: the stuff which they deserve to say. But like when 295 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: you look at the other side, like when the Denver 296 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: Nuggets lost in Game seven, like kind of want to 297 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: hear from Yogic even though he doesn't have much to say, 298 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: Like what's his what's his reaction? And like that's a 299 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: thing golf has to figure out because right now the 300 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: players control it. And I get it, it's an individual sport. 301 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: But if you really want to become this entity that 302 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: they're trying to become like, you can't just run away. 303 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: Cam Newton after he got embarrassed in the Super Bowl 304 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: wasn't allowed just to run to the bus. It's not 305 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: allowed because in that business. We all have rules and 306 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: obligations in the business we're in that we cannot avoid 307 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: because some make sense, some don't. But a lot of 308 00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: them contribute to the vehicles that were in to make 309 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: the money. That's the whole point of this. Every golf 310 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: course in America, private semi privates, have these club championships, 311 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: and I got news for you, a lot of really 312 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: good players play in them all over America. No one 313 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: gives a fly, And you know what about any of 314 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: them outside that little bubble because all of us on 315 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: the couch watching that us open. For as cool as 316 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: it was to watch Bryson after, I would have been 317 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: more interested to sit down and watch a Rory press conference, 318 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: even if it went two minutes and fifty seconds. It 319 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the golf media sitting there 320 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: with their recorders, they're relevant to the whole thing. They 321 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: really are in terms of that moment, and clearly Rory 322 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: and all these golfers they just don't get that. And 323 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: in fairness to a lot of golfers historically, they've all 324 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: faced the music after and Rory didn't. And I think 325 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: that moving forward like that, that cannot happen. It really can't, 326 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: because that US Open has to be one of the 327 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: biggest moments since Tiger won the Masters in twenty nineteen, 328 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: so over the last essentially five seasons of Majors. Now 329 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty was a little wonky, but you know what 330 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: I mean, could argue that's the second biggest moment in 331 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: the sport. And you could argue don Tiger and Phil 332 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: like that's the most famous guy. He doesn't even talk 333 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,239 Speaker 1: and that can't be the case. When Michael Jordan beat 334 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: Charles Barkley, guess what Charles had to sit there and 335 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: I hate face the music because it's not even about 336 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: the questions, just express his emotion, which is unreal for 337 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: the people that literally just watched that. Their time provides 338 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: the compensation that all these guys get. So I think 339 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: we're Alway's gonna play well, I definitely think he can 340 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: win it. Now, you could argue you'd be crazy to 341 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: bet on him to win it, which I think is 342 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: fair because he hasn't won one in a long time. 343 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: But I think the conversation and the narrative that like 344 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: it's never gonna happen, like bullshit. It's I believe it's 345 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: going to happen, and whether it's this year, next year, 346 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: in the next couple of years, if he keeps playing 347 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: like this. It was like Xander was like Xander's a choker. 348 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: Xander can't do it well. He's like top ten, top 349 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: five in all these majors, so eventually he's gonna win one. 350 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: And what happened. He won at Valhalla. The biggest news 351 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: we didn't do a golf podcast last week, but it 352 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: was announced that Keegan Bradley is the captain for the 353 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: Ryder Cup and takes for flying Because I think the 354 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: biggest thing is no one saw it coming. Keegan Bradley 355 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: literally said, I had no clue till they called me. Now, 356 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: obviously in the golfing world, Keegan was front and center 357 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: because last year he wasn't picked for multiple guys who 358 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: had not been playing as well. And the Old Boys Club, 359 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: Everyone's Friends, and then the Netflix show showing Zach Johnson 360 00:19:54,800 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: having dinner with basically Ricky jt And and Speeth and 361 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: their wives kind of hanging out, and it felt like 362 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: a rig deal. And obviously Keegan loves the Ryder Cup. 363 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: I think in twenty twelve when they lost, he still 364 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: hasn't unpacked his bags. I think certain people are more 365 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: patriotic than others. That's just a reality of life, and 366 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: I think a lot of I guess I can only 367 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: speak from myself. When you have family members that were 368 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: in the military, and it'll change over time, right. A 369 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,719 Speaker 1: lot of baby boomers literally all their parents or all 370 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: their dads were associated wor World War Two. Depending on 371 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: your age, either your grandpa or your father was associated 372 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: with Vietnam. My grandparents both fought in World War Two. 373 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: My dad's brother was killed in Vietnam. Patriotism America, it 374 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: is obviously very associated with the military, is just a 375 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: huge part of my family. I take a lot of 376 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: pride in this country because of the opportunities it's open 377 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: for me. I mean, my mom worked at the state 378 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: Capitol in Sacramento. My dad was a farmer, and because 379 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: of where we live. I just I was able to 380 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: work in football and now I have a podcast and 381 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: I worked in radio. Like It's just these opportunities that 382 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: arise because of where I live are pretty special and 383 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: I don't take that for granted. And I have a 384 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: lot of appreciation for a lot of people, and I 385 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: admire a lot of people that take a lot of 386 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: pride in this country, and Keithan Bradley clearly does, and 387 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: this event means a lot to him. And the Zach 388 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: Johnson thing that happened last year was a there's no 389 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: other way to put it. It was an embarrassment. And 390 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,719 Speaker 1: it's why Zak Johnson at the Waste Management they were 391 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: lighting him up like a Christmas tree. And what did 392 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: he do? He snapped. He couldn't take it. You know why, 393 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: because everyone laughs at him and listen, it's not personal, 394 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: I think for most people. Even though when you you know, 395 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: if you follow the sport at golf, you say Zach Johnson, 396 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: you think kind of, I mean, a truly geeky guy. 397 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: But to go over there to act like he did, 398 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: to build the team like he did, and just to 399 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: get smoked, it felt like a guy completely over his head. 400 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: That had no business doing that. Now, it's not like 401 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: Keegan was gonna be the captain of the team, but 402 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: it felt like one guy that would have just honestly, 403 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: Bryson's the same way. Like, let's face the Bryson's pretty 404 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: patriotic guy. And when I view Bryce's gonna be on 405 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: the team, like, that's not even no ifans or butts 406 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: about that. But I like the selection a lot because 407 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: you had to go, you couldn't keep doing what you 408 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: were doing. And just like, well, who's another player who's 409 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: like forty eight years old that kind of played in 410 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: the Tiger and Phil Era, Fuck that fix someone different? Now? 411 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: Could you have picked like Jordan Speeth or Justin Thomas. 412 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: Those guys would probably deny it because they want to play. 413 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,719 Speaker 1: Tiger clearly turned it down, saying that his role working 414 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: with the tour, he just wouldn't have the time. And again, 415 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: like Tiger Wood's trained with the Navy Seals. Now, he 416 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: didn't pay for the cheeseburgers, but it means a lot 417 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: to him. Why dad Green Beret Vietnam, Like it's part 418 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: of the culture of his life and for him to 419 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: turn it down, I truly believe one day he's going 420 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: to do it, you would think. But maybe he truly 421 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 1: doesn't have the time. Maybe he wants to know part. 422 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: You know, it's at best page, it's in New York, 423 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: it's going to be a pretty big zoo even though 424 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: it's home, you know, port advantage. Maybe he wants to 425 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,239 Speaker 1: wait till Olympic Club in what six years to do it. 426 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I would assume Tiger will eventually 427 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: be the captain. But I like picking a younger guy. 428 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: I like picking a guy that I go this event 429 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: means everything to him. Like listen, JT and Speed, it 430 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: means a lot. Those two guys to me at points 431 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: in time in their life are Locke captains. And I 432 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: would put Keegan, not that he has this success they've 433 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: had playing in the Ryder Cup, but in terms of 434 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: their passion, Like JD gets a lot of credit rightfully so, 435 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: because of how much it means to him, how much 436 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: energy he brings, how fired up he gets about the event. 437 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,479 Speaker 1: It clearly strikes a cord deep in his soul. And 438 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: I view Keegan the same way. And I think anytime 439 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: you get someone like that, you have a chance. Now 440 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: it's you watch these euros Man. They're good, like Bob 441 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: McIntyre is good. Like the way that guy's playing Ludwig 442 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: is a superstar. John Rahm, you would think eventually plays 443 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: better fleetwood Baller, I mean Lowry like they got a 444 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: really this notion that like, oh we're just gonna smoke them, 445 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: like I don't know, like those days are kind of over. 446 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't view it like that at all. 447 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: Obviously we should win at home. It's usually what happens. 448 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: Whoever wins at home, whoever wins on the road. You know, 449 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: I was listening to I was listening to No Ling 450 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: Up and I agree with their take. I think Sally 451 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: said this. You would assume that this he gets multiple 452 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: Ryder cups. He gets one at home and he gets 453 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: one away, and you never know if it doesn't go 454 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: that well, he Zach Johnson didn't get the hell out 455 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: of there. But I think it's exciting and I think 456 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: it's sometimes you can't always throw fastballs down the middle 457 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: because it would have been easier, like Stuart Sink, you know, 458 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: Jim Furick, you know, just just just keep doing like, nah, 459 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: it is time for a change. You don't need a 460 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: huge hit. What the hell's the difference. Some would argue 461 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 1: that it's a little overrated as a captaincy, and you 462 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: could say that, like, guys just got to play well. Now, 463 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: clearly there's a lot of thought. There's the analytics that 464 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: go into it. It's a really really big event, which 465 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: gets lost a little bit at the time of the 466 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: year because it's during football season. But if you love golf, 467 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: like I know I do, like many people listening this do, 468 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: it's hard not to just change the channel over there 469 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: and see what was going on. It was actually kind 470 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: of nice being during football season last fall. It kind 471 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: of ended immediately. Honestly, it felt like it was over 472 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: during the first day, and that usually doesn't quite happen 473 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: like that. But we got curb stomped. And I don't 474 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: know if Keegan would have made a difference or not. 475 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: Bryce and I think surely would have. He's obviously a 476 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: much better player than Kegan Bradley. But just guys, now, 477 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: they were sick a lot of different variables. I think 478 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: it's cool, so props on that move. And last but 479 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,479 Speaker 1: not least, Colin Montgomery. He basically said that Tiger should retire, 480 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: that why is he out there playing in these events 481 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: when he has no chance to do anything, absolutely no 482 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: shot to compete. He's a dude, chat like seventy seven 483 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: eighty two. What's he He can't even finish some events? 484 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: And I my pushback on this is, in what world 485 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: would any human being that gets to play anything for 486 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: a living stop doing it now? If if he can't 487 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: break ninety five? I get it, But like we've seen 488 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: him in the first couple of days, he can float 489 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: around par I'm even talking separate from Augusta. Is he 490 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: ever going to compete again? That's basically impossible. He never plays. 491 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: It's why the report was it a couple of weeks 492 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: ago or a month ago that he gets a full 493 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: exemption into any designated events. It's irrelevant. He's not gonna 494 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: play any of them. Maybe best scenario he plays one 495 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: of those. But if he wants to play, he's not 496 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: even fifty yet, who cares. And here's the other thing. 497 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: If he plays, people kind of pay attention. The expectations 498 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: now aren't for him to compete, aren't for him to 499 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: compete at all. I would imagine if he plays four 500 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: majors for the next three or four years, there will 501 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: be one major on a Thursday or Friday where he 502 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: just gets hot. You know why, that's golf, and all 503 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 1: of a sudden you look up and Tiger's got three 504 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: birdies in a row. Now, he'll eventually, even if you 505 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: were to make that cut on that given major, probably 506 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 1: still finish close to DFL. But for that moment, it's 507 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: all worth it. It really is. And as the tour 508 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: has changed, like they're never getting back what he was clearly, 509 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: I mean that ended years ago when the genesis flipped over. 510 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: But like he still kind of matters. He doesn't matter 511 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: nearly as much because he never plays, and the tour 512 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: has moved on and they've developed some new stars and 513 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: are trying to develop more. But yeah, man, I think 514 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: that if he wants to keep playing, who gives a shit? 515 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: Let him keep playing. He's bored. What else is he 516 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: gonna do? Sit there and look at his bank account 517 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: like he can do that basically the majority of the year. 518 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 1: If he wants to business doesn't give him the high. 519 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: He's been rich for thirty plus years now, he's been 520 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: filthy rich for decades. I'm talking filthy rich. He's bored. 521 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 1: He enjoys playing golf because it's true love all he 522 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: wants to do, and golf is not like Tom' stopped 523 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: playing football, not because he didn't like football. Tom Brady's 524 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: addicted to football still. Why do you think he's calling 525 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: these games on Fox? Hell? Peyton Manning same thing. Why 526 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: do you think he's developed this company and does Monday 527 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: night football? They love it, they're addicted. But in football 528 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: you literally can't play anymore and you could get seriously injured. 529 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: In golf, what's the worst gonna happen? Shoot eighty two. 530 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: He's done that before. People are gonna laugh at him. 531 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: And I've said this before. I think he likes doing 532 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: it for a son because the son who's fourteen fifteen 533 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: years old, like gets to see his dad just fucking grind. 534 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: Because the older he gets, he's gonna realize, like, my 535 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: dad didn't have to do that. All I have to 536 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: do is go to wiki and look at my dad's 537 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: resume and go, Pops, dad, what are we doing here? 538 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: Because this is what we do. We got nothing else 539 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: to do, and we love playing golf, and all of 540 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: us if we were in that situation, because part of 541 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: Montgomery's thing was he looks miserable. Tiger's never really been 542 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: mister happy go lucky on the golf course. That's not 543 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: really his style. Back when he was kicking everyone's butt. 544 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: He wasn't mister Smiley. He wasn't Ricky Fowler out there, 545 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: neither was Tom Brady. Even Tom Brady said this, I 546 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: saw what did you tell the pivot guys this? Maybe 547 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: it was going kind of viral in my reels when 548 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: I was doing a little board scroll like one thing 549 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: he regrets a little bit as he got older, was 550 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: having a little more fun playing. I think he kind 551 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: of or who you are, like my personality at thirty nine, 552 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: I've matured as a human being. I like to think 553 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: of a better human being now, and I'll be better 554 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: in five years and I'll be better in ten years. 555 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: But like I'm not always mister happy go lucky. I 556 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: was kind of like that at twenty, kind of like 557 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: that at twenty five, kind of like that at thirty, 558 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: Just like I've known some really happy people at fifteen, 559 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: at twenty, at twenty five, like they kind of just 560 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: state your personality is your personality. So obviously we would 561 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: like to see him have make more birdies. Making birdies 562 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: are fun. But even if he was I don't think 563 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: he'd be just fist pumping everywhere at this point in 564 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: time in his life. And part of the fist pumps 565 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: were because he was winning, and the winning is never 566 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: coming back. So I got no problem with him with 567 00:30:49,320 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: him doing what he's doing. Okay, couple couple quick mail 568 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: bag questions at golo Pod. At Golopod, it's a Instagram 569 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: firre in those dms, you got any questions because my bet, 570 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if I mentioned this earlier. Here's what 571 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: I'm here's my parlay Ludvig. You can pick him to 572 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: win or top five. The bold play would be to 573 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: win and then parlay him with Fleetwood and Hatton to 574 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: top twenty. If you wanted to get bold, you could 575 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: go lud Big win top five or win and go 576 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: those two guys to top ten. But I have a 577 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: hard time seeing Fleetwood and Hatton not in the top twenty. 578 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: The lud Big thing like, look at this guy. He 579 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: played like crap on Sunday at the Genesis finished T. Four. 580 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: At one point in time Saturday, at an engagement party, 581 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: I looked up who's winning by multiple shots and just 582 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,719 Speaker 1: Wheels came off a little bit. But Ludvig's winning one 583 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: of these things, whether it's this one, whether it's one 584 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: next year, like it's coming and it's coming soon. So 585 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: I like parlaying Fleetwood Hatton with something with Leudwig finishing high. Okay, 586 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: A couple quick questions. Are PGA Tour guys not allowed 587 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: to try to have YouTube channels like Bryson? Feels like 588 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: showing your personality and promoting your own brand is a 589 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: no brainer. I'm pretty sure one of the big beefs 590 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: Bryson had was because when you are a PGA Tour member, 591 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: they own your media rights and that's how they sell 592 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:37,959 Speaker 1: the television package. So the Saudi's obviously have no television package. 593 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: That matters. Those guys can do whatever they want. Bryson 594 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: was not allowed to do that, at least when he 595 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: was on the PGA Tour. I don't know if they've 596 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: changed those restrictions, but it's pretty clear that none of 597 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: those guys do it. Now how many of them would, 598 00:32:54,840 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it's not as strict because Wesley Brian, 599 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: the Brian brothers who play a lot with Horvat, they 600 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: they're pretty entertaining. I mean, they're elite players. Wesley's I 601 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: mean the hell he almost won a PGA Tour tournament 602 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: this year in George's damn good he has one. So 603 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: maybe they have loosened those restrictions. But I think they're 604 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: very very serious about that stuff, very serious. I do 605 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: think they've changed the restrictions because I watched on on 606 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: the Brian's channel Wesley played nine holes with the Galla 607 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: at the Canadian Open, So maybe they've changed those rules. 608 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: And maybe it's just simply like is Xander or can't 609 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: Lay gonna get a YouTube channel? Scotty Cheffer are gonna 610 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,479 Speaker 1: create a YouTube channel? Part of creating a YouTube channel, 611 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: it's like part of having a podcast. Well you got 612 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: a podcast. And I think Scotty would say, like, I 613 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: don't have time to do that. One thing Bryce has 614 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: is a lot of time. Think of the other guy, 615 00:33:54,960 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: Like I think the Euros, like if Fleetwood Hadden's on Live, 616 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: Fleetwood Lowry and kind of and Rory and that crew 617 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: did a little YouTube and it'd probably be pretty entertaining. 618 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: But get Bob McIntyre doing But I don't know. Do 619 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: you think that Xalatoris will ever win a major? Uh? 620 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: Once your back starts going, man, it's a major problem. 621 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:24,760 Speaker 1: Those back injuries are. Remember Steve Kerr was the coach 622 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: of the Warriors. The coach of the Warriors and got 623 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: back surgery and could not coach the Warriors, and he 624 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: said it's the worst pain he'd ever been in. Literally 625 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 1: had to take a year. Now, that was the year 626 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: that they won seventy three games, and he came back 627 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: late in the season. But I would say anyone that 628 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 1: has a bad back and has to get go under 629 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: the knife, it's a problem. And I think I heard 630 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: Will talk about it. I mean, he's been pretty open 631 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: about it that they've tried to change a swing a 632 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: little bit to ease some of the tension off the back. 633 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: But man, I mean, which sucks because Alataurus excellent player, 634 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: fun player that was so much early success at these 635 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: major championships, and I root for him, but it's hard 636 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: to be bullish on his situation. What's your prediction for 637 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: Scotty's career is from Christian I personally think he's more 638 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: in line with Phil thirty forty wins. How many winses 639 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: Scotty have right now? Twelve thirteen. It's pretty hard to 640 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: get to thirty because this run is not gonna last 641 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: forever if he got to forty wins in this day 642 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: and age with the competition, and I get some of 643 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: the guys deflected to live, but defected, not deflected. I 644 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,760 Speaker 1: think the major number is more realistic than like thirty 645 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 1: five forty wins I think, I mean, look at Rory, 646 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,959 Speaker 1: how mean wins is Roy twenty five? It's really really 647 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: hard to get to thirty wins. It's really really hard. 648 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: I could see Scotty, you know, health permitting twenty four wins, 649 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 1: but like six majors, six to seven majors, I think 650 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: that's a pretty good comp I think it's harder in 651 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: this day and age to get the field career. I mean, 652 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: Rory won a lot of majors earlier. Like the tour 653 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: has never been better, and part of it is the equipment. Now, 654 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,280 Speaker 1: once that equipment change happens, who knows does it actually 655 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 1: ever happen, because if it does, it will definitely change 656 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: the game. But you could argue if the equipment change happens, 657 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: maybe gets easier for the good players. I don't know. 658 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of a great unknown. He's just 659 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: hitting the ball farther than most guys and straighter, and 660 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: he's a great iron player, and he's like the best 661 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: chipper his short game sol e leader, and he's such 662 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: a good iron player. Maybe it wouldn't do much for 663 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 1: him in terms of uh like neutralizing his ability and 664 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 1: negatively impacting him. But if I had a guess right now, 665 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 1: I would go to a serious guess. I'll go twenty 666 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: six wins so he doubles his career amount. I think 667 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 1: he has thirteen, and I'll go I think the major 668 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:16,280 Speaker 1: numbers where it's at, though, I'll go seven majors. Rory's 669 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: got four. I think Rory ends up it's five or six. 670 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: I think right now you'd have to put the Rory 671 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 1: major over under it. Does he win one and a 672 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 1: half more? And I think you put the Scottie number 673 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: at like sort he got two at like three and 674 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: a half. T actually can become a lot easier to 675 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: scroll on Instagram for the mailbag. Okay, we'll end on this. 676 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: The PJA seems to be lacking personalities like rom and Bryson. Yeah, 677 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: I mean they took those two guys for me. Bryson 678 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,959 Speaker 1: is the most interesting golfer to watch because of his game, 679 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: and we know him from the social media presence. In contrast, 680 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: someone like Can'tley can't Lay has zero personality and the 681 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 1: tone sticking out is unwatchable. I'm sure the producers cringe 682 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: when they do a close up of his face and 683 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: a stupid tongue out. The PGA tour needs more Bryson 684 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: and less can't Lay. I think everyone agrees with you. 685 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: I find the PGA and Live unwatchable. Majors are all 686 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,439 Speaker 1: I pay attention to now because all of the big 687 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: names are there together. It's kind of sad. This is 688 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: the overarching conversation with the situation. There's no way around it. 689 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: You need everyone back together. You need the boring guys 690 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:42,280 Speaker 1: are fine, the great boring players. Xander's boring, Scotty minus 691 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: the arrest extremely boring, like extremely boring, and Xander Rory's 692 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,760 Speaker 1: a little more interesting. I mean he's way more interesting 693 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: those two guys. But for the most part, like he 694 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 1: quote unquote, I don't even want to say controversial. He 695 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: just started moving the needle little bit around Live. But 696 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,359 Speaker 1: before that, like what was kind of boring? All? Like, 697 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 1: you need great guys, you need assholes. You can't have 698 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: any sport or any entertainment product with just unlimited, happy, 699 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: go lucky, easygoing, no controversy. Guys, you need some people 700 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 1: to push the envelope. It's like a television show. You 701 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: need characters you like it. You need characters you're root against. 702 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 1: If the only thing in a character in a show 703 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,959 Speaker 1: is characters you like like, probably end up turning it off. 704 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: You need some people, whether it's a reality show, whether 705 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 1: it's a you know, Apple TV Presumed Innocence, good show 706 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 1: that prosecutors kind of an asshole. You find yourself kind 707 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: of rooting against them, but you don't know if the 708 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: other guy killed the chick, and you're like kind of 709 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: torn between. But you're emotionally moved by everybody. And I 710 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: think the one thing Live did a good job of 711 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: is take away a lot of guys you're emotionally moved by. 712 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: I remember being told this a long time ago in radio. 713 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: The key to success is never being indifferent, never being 714 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: where they just don't care. They just have apathy towards you. 715 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: If the hate you or love you either way, because 716 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: guess what, not everyone's gonna love you. But if they 717 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 1: hate you, they might still listen because guess what, hate 718 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: is a powerful emotion and a lot of people hated 719 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 1: Patrick Red, a lot of people hated Bryson and now 720 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: they love him, but they have a strong emotional connection. 721 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: John Rahm like, it's easy to see guy's a fucking 722 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 1: nut out there, but kind of in an entertaining way. 723 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 1: Same thing with Terrell Hatton. Patrick Reed is one of 724 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 1: the dude cheats. The guy cheats. Phil Micholson has gambled 725 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,320 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars. Hundreds of millions of dollars. 726 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: When you say Phil Mickelson, everyone has an opinion. Now 727 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: he's old and he's not as important in terms of 728 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: his competitive ability anymore, but like he kind of matters. 729 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: Like I said with the Tiger thing, having Tiger just around, 730 00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: like people are emotionally moved by the guy is like 731 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,800 Speaker 1: you said with Can'tley, they're in a soul in America, 732 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: beside maybe his wife who's emotionally moved by that guy. 733 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 1: Even Rory said, like, you know, on one of my 734 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,840 Speaker 1: three putts, Canley just took forever, threw me out of 735 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 1: my routine. It's not really an excuse, but kind of 736 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 1: understand it. Hanley takes forever Xander. Xander's dad is more 737 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,399 Speaker 1: interesting than Xander. You know why, because he'll talk some shit, 738 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 1: He'll say some stuff. He's got some takes, whether you 739 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: agree or disagree with them, needing to be paid for 740 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 1: the Ryder Cup, like he fucking has a stance on it, 741 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,279 Speaker 1: you know. And guess what a lot of the live 742 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: guys did too, Like you need some guys that will 743 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: draw a line in the sand and be like, yeah, 744 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 1: I don't think it's right. And it feels like the 745 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 1: PGA Tour has a lot of guys like yeah, we'll 746 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,760 Speaker 1: just kind of go with the flow. So appreciate the questions. 747 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,479 Speaker 1: Let's have a good week, and let's enjoy the open, 748 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: the volume,
