WEBVTT - 2018 Masters: Sunday Preview

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I miss the green.

0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 2>For example, I'm already upset. When I find my ball

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:05.800
<v Speaker 2>in the bunker, I'm really upset. And when I find

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:08.440
<v Speaker 2>my ball in a fried egg Friday egg, the dreaded

0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Friday egg, Frida Egg, Frida egg, fried egg, Frida egg,

0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:13.399
<v Speaker 2>bride egg Lie, I'm about ready to run off the

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 2>golf course.

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Arnold Palmer is the master of nineteen. He has buddy

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the last two holes to catch a bug ahead of

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>cat that.

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Jory, What are the saying? Is this a race?

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Is golf that anybody has ever seen? That?

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 2>A place? Yeah? Up the hill?

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Did you ever do one like that?

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:47.559
<v Speaker 2>I think got tent of the greatest fundy I've ever

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 2>seen him Friday night. Maybe yes, sir, there it is

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 2>and you believe it.

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Now?

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 2>No, there it is a wins for the ages?

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>Is it his time?

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Now here it comes? Oh my goodness, oh wow.

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 1>In your life that you seen anything like that? Hello, friends,

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm jim nantz. Is my great pleasure to welcome you

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>to the Master's Tournament. I've heard it said before. It's

0:01:52.800 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>a tradition unlike any other. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>to another edition of the Frida Egg Podcast I am

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 1>joined by Will Knights here on Masters Saturday. Just wrapped

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:30.399
<v Speaker 1>up watching today's third round. Quite a exhibition there.

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was. I think we all went into today

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>expecting some carnage from the weather and instead we got

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 2>the exact opposite.

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it seemed like it just kind of softened up

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the greens. It didn't really rain as expected. There was

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.959
<v Speaker 1>just that one little flurry of a downpour during when

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the leaders were off and that kind of mucked things up.

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>But for the most part, it just seemed to make

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 1>scoring conditions easier and a few guys took advantage. What

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.799
<v Speaker 1>were your big takeaways from today?

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 2>I think the biggest one is that Rory is definitely

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:09.080
<v Speaker 2>out for Blood. He's knows reads up at the lead

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 2>and he wants to definitely get him back for Hazel

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 2>team there. You're definitely hear in his post round interview

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 2>that all the he thinks, all the pressure is on

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Red and he's just ready to go out tomorrow.

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's it'll be interesting to watch those guys duke

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>it out. You know. One of the things with Reid's play,

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was unbelievable on that back nine with

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>the two eagles, the chipping I mean on the fifteenth

0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 1>was insane. But what it does is really separates him

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>from pretty much everybody. But you know, six shots is

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 1>what Faldough came back on Norman from and that's about

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the biggest margin in recent master's history. So that puts

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 1>it really to Rom Fowler McElroy as the only legitimate

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>chasers at eight under or better. Do you see any

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you see Red potentially faltering tomorrow?

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>I think the first few holes will definitely be a

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 2>good tell. I mean, with two and three being birdie holes,

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 2>if you can get through those under par, I think

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 2>that'll be a good test. It'll also be interesting to

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 2>see if Rory puts pressure on him quickly. I mean,

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.719
<v Speaker 2>he does have that tough stretch with four through seven,

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.479
<v Speaker 2>but I think if Reid gets out to a hot start,

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.160
<v Speaker 2>it'll be tough to catch him.

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he just seems locked in this week. Obviously, he's

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>always one of the world's best around the greens and

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>on the greens, but since he's added that fade, it's

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 1>taken his ball striking to a whole new level. And

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>at Augusta it's amazing how how much he trusts it,

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, hitting it on set off seventeen T and

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 1>eighteen today, eighteen T today and hitting perfect T shots.

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that'll carry over. I think, you know it

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.559
<v Speaker 1>really will. As you said, come down to that first

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 1>three holes and who sets the tone potentially. I mean,

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 1>if one of these guys could go out in thirty,

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 1>it could put a little bit of pressure, but that's

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>so tough to do on that front nine.

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean we saw have Fleet would make that

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 2>run today on the back, but on the front nine

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 2>you don't really have a good stretch. It'll be interesting

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.160
<v Speaker 2>to see if the typical Sunday pins are out there,

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe they want to increase some birdies. But yeah, I

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.719
<v Speaker 2>think unless McElroy Fowler a Ram put pressure on him early,

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 2>that's the only people who could really catch him at

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 2>this point.

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:48.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's the that front nine stretch with like four

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>or five, six, seven. It's just so hard on those

0:05:54.480 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>three holes to really make birdies, and it's it'll be

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>really interesting to see how Red handles this pressure because

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 1>he's never been in this type of moment before. He's

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.919
<v Speaker 1>had mixed results with holding the lead. I mean his

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 1>last one came at that Barclays. A couple of years

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>ago and he was a little shaky coming down the

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>stretch there, but obviously he's he's shown that in high

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:26.520
<v Speaker 1>pressure situations in the Ryder Cup, he's been nails. Tomorrow

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 1>will be a little bit different, beast right.

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 2>I think definitely we know that he's not wanting to

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 2>shy away from it. As you said, though this is different,

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.919
<v Speaker 2>it's the Masters. I think he knows it's different, and

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 2>it'll be interested to see how he looks on the

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 2>first tea tomorrow.

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:48.600
<v Speaker 1>So what over the course of this Masters has h

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>have you been surprised by most.

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Will Honestly, I'm a little surprised that it's played out

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of how we wanted it to. I mean, we

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 2>were all building it up as one of the most

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>anticipated Masters, and we've so far we've really gotten it.

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, DJ Speath, JT, Bubba Stenson, Rom Fowler, McElroy,

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 2>they're all there, just whether they or not they can

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 2>make the move on Sunday and see if Reid can

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 2>hold on here. But I think just getting this leaderboard

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 2>has kind of been surprising, and that we've gotten everyone

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 2>we wanted to see.

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, i'd agree a like at one point we were

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>talking there were the leaderboard was just not to At

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of the round, there were seven of the

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 1>top ten guys on the leaderboard were within the top

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>ten in the world rankings. Now it looks like you

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>got Speth Thomas at t ninth and then rom and

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Fowler and McElroy sou you're down to five. But the

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 1>other five players or no slouches with like Reid, Stenson, Fleetwood,

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Bubba Watson, Leishman, all those guys are top twenty five players.

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>So it I just don't see a way that anybody

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 1>outside of those four guys can can really take it

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 1>home tomorrow. I mean, there's no way that Reid and

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.119
<v Speaker 1>Rory fall that much.

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 2>No, yeah, I definitely agree. I mean, the only way

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 2>this leaderboard was going to be better is if Tiger

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Phil actually showed up. But I mean, once you get

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 2>over that fact, I think we're left with just about

0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 2>as good a leaderboard as we can expect. Will definitely

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.839
<v Speaker 2>be interested to see that final pairing tomorrow. Patrick Reid's

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 2>going to show up in his Sunday Red and he's

0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:39.679
<v Speaker 2>gonna be ready to go.

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>So you think he's going to ditch the scripting for

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 1>the pink that Nike laid out for him.

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.680
<v Speaker 2>I think his wife wore the hot pink pants after

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 2>the round today, so I think all the Nike pinks

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 2>men used this week.

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.439
<v Speaker 1>It's we got a pair of a pair of Nike

0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.600
<v Speaker 1>guys going at it, and we do we do any

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 1>blake going out?

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh? I uh, you know, I think Mike will respect

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 2>the Sunday at Augusta. They might not have during the

0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.800
<v Speaker 2>practice round. I think we all saw Tiger wearing his

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 2>blade collar against Phil's button down. But I uh, I

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 2>think it's Sunday at the Masters, they'll they'll put some

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 2>collars on their guys.

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Ricky and Rom played it shot sixty five, so I

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>guess Roy shot sixty five to today. But one of

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 1>the things with Ricky's round was that, you know the

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>thirteenth hole where he went for it. Obviously it's hindsight

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty. He doesn't make it, and you think, hey,

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the you know he should he shouldn't have done this,

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 1>But it was a questionable call to go for it,

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>and you think here, it's like, you know, one more

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 1>shot could be the difference. And that's the with major championships.

0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 1>It comes down to, you know, the smallest margins and

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 1>he got up and down for par But you lay

0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.199
<v Speaker 1>that up with that backpen, it's an easy birdie and

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 1>that one shot would go a long way. You know,

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 1>being at being within four and five is a big, big.

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Difference, right, Yeah, exactly. I mean essentially his up and

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:13.319
<v Speaker 2>down for Parr would have been the up and down

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 2>he would have had for Birdie. I mean, it would

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 2>been the exact same shot. So making that mistake just

0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of really cost him. I mean, who knows it

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 2>might have cost him the final group. Honestly, Rory would

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 2>have known that he needed to make that birdie to

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 2>put the or to get into the final group. I

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 2>think he was gonna pretty much attack regardless, But who knows,

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Ricky might be the one in the final group with

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Greed tomorrow.

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so tomorrow, weather conditions are They're saying it's going

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.320
<v Speaker 1>to be sixty three, so it'll be a lot cooler,

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 1>moderate winds. I think the one thing that will happen

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>is with the rain. It will be it actually will

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.599
<v Speaker 1>be tough conditions because they'll crank those subairrors and the

0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>greens are going to be really firm. But then there

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 1>are the rounds of the greens will be really soft,

0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:06.559
<v Speaker 1>which always makes things tricky. If anything, I think that

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:10.400
<v Speaker 1>favors a guy like Rory who comes in with that

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 1>towering ballflight.

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, I completely agree. I mean, as we saw today,

0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Rory's just hitting it past everyone. I mean he was

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 2>consistently forty fifty yards past Stenson. I mean, I don't

0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:27.320
<v Speaker 2>see that not continuing. I just do remember read at

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.040
<v Speaker 2>the US Open last year he was chipping pretty well

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:33.439
<v Speaker 2>off those tight lines. I mean, if he's missing greens

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 2>with a little bit of pressure, we'll see how his

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.839
<v Speaker 2>short gam holds up. But he has shown in the

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 2>past that he's been able to get it up and

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 2>down from those areas.

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>That's what's impressed me the most about Rory this week

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:48.920
<v Speaker 1>is how he's gotten kept the momentum going. It seems

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 1>to me like in recent years with major championships, he

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.199
<v Speaker 1>just has always missed that five foot or for par

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>and this week he's making all those. You know, we

0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:02.559
<v Speaker 1>saw two really clutch up and downs from him on

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the par threes on the back nine. And that's the

0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>key for Rory is always that momentum. I feel like

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>he just really feeds off momentum more than almost any

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 1>other player in golf.

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely. I mean I think once he got up

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 2>and down on thirteen there, it was very similar to

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 2>what Sergio did last year, kind of saved his whole tournament.

0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 2>And then Rory just down the stretch was just firing

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 2>a pins, knowing he needed to make a few more

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 2>birdies and put some pressure on I mean, he's been

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 2>here before, He's been in the final groups of Majors.

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 2>This is the first time he's been in the final

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.040
<v Speaker 2>group at the Masters though, since his meltdown in eleven,

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 2>So we'll be interested to see what he looks on

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:45.680
<v Speaker 2>the first t tomorrow.

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Then he had the meltdown in fifteen in the

0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:54.920
<v Speaker 1>final group Saturday, so it'll be Sunday is completely different

0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>beasts than Saturday. The pins get tougher, and especially today

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 1>with the soft condition that it'll be a whole different

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 1>ballgame tomorrow, soft and calm. What do you make of

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:06.320
<v Speaker 1>the thumb?

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.679
<v Speaker 2>The thumb, Yeah, put on a show today for us. Yeah,

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.640
<v Speaker 2>quite the charge on the front nine there and then

0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 2>continued it on the back. I thought he was going

0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.600
<v Speaker 2>to be the only non Jeff Knox player to make

0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:22.559
<v Speaker 2>birdie on eleven, but I mean, he's right there. I

0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't put it past him to make a charge early tomorrow.

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 2>We know he has the firepower to get to two

0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:31.320
<v Speaker 2>and with that pin, eagles are definitely in play, so

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:33.560
<v Speaker 2>we'll see if he's able to make a couple early

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 2>birdies or eagles.

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was so under the radar coming in. Nobody

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 1>was talking about him because he, you know, compared to

0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 1>what his usual standards are with you know, essentially he

0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.320
<v Speaker 1>was a top ten, top five machine, and he had

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 1>a kind of string of top thirties which got everybody

0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 1>off him. But he is he is built for this

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 1>golf course heat. For a guy that's only twenty three

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and has had what less than thirty PGA Tour starts,

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 1>he's one of the most complete young players we've seen

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>come up through the ranks in a long time.

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, so this is his second year at

0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Augusta now, so, I mean it didn't he didn't look

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 2>great on Thursday opening I think he was seventy five,

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 2>But I mean ever since then, he's just been nails

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 2>coming down the stretch today, especially through a dart in

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.960
<v Speaker 2>there on sixteen and then seventeen made that birdie as well.

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we all know he wants to prove that

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:34.880
<v Speaker 2>he is one of the best, if not the best,

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 2>in the world, so he needs majors to prove it.

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Anybuddy, you were disappointed with today that you kind of

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 1>expected to see jump up?

0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean definitely with the soft conditions. I think

0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 2>earlier we were thinking JT was going to make a run, especially,

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean he birdied too, but then just kind of

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.360
<v Speaker 2>fell flat the rest of the round. I mean, when

0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:01.080
<v Speaker 2>everyone else is out there shooting sixty six and for

0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 2>him to only shoot seventies kind of disappointing. We saw

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Rory take advantage of his length on the course, but

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 2>JG just couldn't take advantage.

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was a little disappointed with Leishman. I kind

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.240
<v Speaker 1>of thought he'd hang around a little bit more, but

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>it it just expected more than seventy three out of him,

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 1>especially with how soft it was. I thought he was

0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be a guy in the mix tomorrow, but

0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 1>now he's a eight shots back. That just seems like

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>too much to me.

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he just burned a couple edges early there and

0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.800
<v Speaker 2>never got any momentum going, and once Patrick Reed just

0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 2>started pulling away. I think you can kind of see

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 2>he just had a couple of flat tires and just

0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 2>couldn't keep it going.

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Who's your prediction for the back door special tomorrow?

0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Back Door Special? You know, I think Rose had a

0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:01.200
<v Speaker 2>ton of pressure on himself coming in to this tournament,

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.240
<v Speaker 2>and now that he's just out on the outside looking in,

0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.320
<v Speaker 2>he's definitely just gonna I think he's gonna go low tomorrow.

0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, as we've seen, Speeth has not done anything either.

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.240
<v Speaker 2>I think he could back to our top five here

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 2>as well.

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's crazy. I mean after round one, I was

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 1>worried that we were going to see twenty fifteen like

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:25.200
<v Speaker 1>all over again, where it was essentially over on Saturday

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 1>or on Friday. But he that Putter, he just hasn't

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.200
<v Speaker 1>been the same this year over especially short putts.

0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, I mean we saw well Thursday. Yeah, he

0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.880
<v Speaker 2>goes out hot and then just completely gives it all

0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 2>back early Friday and just never found it again. I

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 2>mean with him and DJ today, I thought they were

0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna kind of put some pressure on each other to

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 2>play well, and they both really just fell flat.

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it almost worked in the opposite way where they

0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 1>both didn't do anything and it was probably just like

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.800
<v Speaker 1>watching everybody running and you're stuck in quicksand.

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly. I mean, I think when you're in a

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.120
<v Speaker 2>good pairing that you guys can kind of feed off

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.960
<v Speaker 2>each other and make birdies. That definitely helps, and with

0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.760
<v Speaker 2>both of them just being unable to get going, that

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:17.800
<v Speaker 2>just hurt him both.

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:23.160
<v Speaker 1>All right, keep this thing tight. What's your prediction for tomorrow?

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:29.000
<v Speaker 2>I think, honestly, I think Patrick Reid pulls it out.

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 2>I know Rory's coming for him, but I think he's

0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:37.160
<v Speaker 2>just he wants it, and he's gonna go out there

0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 2>ready to go. He's gonna be able to hold off

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Rory early, and I think he wins by two.

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, I.

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:47.560
<v Speaker 2>You think Rory gets it done.

0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I I don't I don't want hands

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 1>on my head, in my heart, my head, says Reid.

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:58.919
<v Speaker 1>He's just been nails all week. But I I just

0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:02.439
<v Speaker 1>don't want to see and every master's till he's like

0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:03.960
<v Speaker 1>sixty five or seventy.

0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think definitely some of those guys in the

0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:11.359
<v Speaker 2>Champions locker room or rooting against him, but yeah, I

0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.520
<v Speaker 2>just think it's his time. I will see if anyone

0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.400
<v Speaker 2>can put pressure on him, but I think unfortunately we're

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.520
<v Speaker 2>going to see Patrick Reed draped in green tomorrow.

0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it is a it's from his hard work too.

0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.200
<v Speaker 1>You have to give props where it is. He's identified

0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.120
<v Speaker 1>what he couldn't do and what was holding him back,

0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:36.320
<v Speaker 1>and he's he's gotten remarkably better. And that's what this game.

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:39.359
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's why it's so important not to judge

0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.200
<v Speaker 1>guys when they're twenty five twenty six, because they still

0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.679
<v Speaker 1>have so much time. And reads a perfect example of that.

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:50.399
<v Speaker 1>Just vast improvement and you know, learning how to hit

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.200
<v Speaker 1>a shot and then pulling it off under pressure.

0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Definitely, Yeah, I think. I mean, ever since his top

0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:59.880
<v Speaker 2>five comments, I think he's really come a long way.

0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Definitely matured. I don't I still think he rubs a

0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:09.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of people the wrong way, but he's addressed the

0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 2>weaknesses in his game and obviously it's paid off for him.

0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:14.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so that's it.

0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Overrated, Underrated Patrick Reeds apparel.

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Now that he's Nike, I mean, he's kind of dressed

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:28.760
<v Speaker 2>the same as everyone, but he's definitely overrated. This swosh

0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:31.120
<v Speaker 2>does not really fit Patrick Reed's body type.

0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Overrated, Underrated, the term patrons.

0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:41.440
<v Speaker 2>The term Patrons is highly overrated, but patrons in general

0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:46.760
<v Speaker 2>definitely underrated. There's no yelling, no tom foolery. They just

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.040
<v Speaker 2>go out and watch golf and cheer. It's a good

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:49.640
<v Speaker 2>time for them.

0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:53.800
<v Speaker 1>It's the way the Masters runs their whole thing is.

0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.040
<v Speaker 2>It's a it's a tight ship out there.

0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 1>You know. Everybody's kind of their toes. They don't want

0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to get thrown out. They've heard of the you know,

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:09.760
<v Speaker 1>the Pinkerton running around there kicking people out. You know,

0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I think there's certain things. If you say certain things,

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>you're out immediately. And just in general, the way Augusta

0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:21.520
<v Speaker 1>just strong arms everybody, whether it's CBS, whether.

0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.159
<v Speaker 2>It's for sure it's their partners, it's their way or

0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:26.520
<v Speaker 2>the highway, and you walk in there, you better be

0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:27.520
<v Speaker 2>on your best behavior.

0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then in turn they deliver the best sporting event,

0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:35.879
<v Speaker 1>definitely the best golf event and arguably the greatest sporting

0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:39.520
<v Speaker 1>event out there. So absolutely you gotta give them props

0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.800
<v Speaker 1>for just running their thing the way they want to

0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:43.240
<v Speaker 1>run it.

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean, we all know coming in it's going

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:51.959
<v Speaker 2>to be immaculate on the course and broadcast is what

0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 2>it is. We got to live with it. But I

0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:58.359
<v Speaker 2>mean it delivers every year, like this tournament just doesn't

0:20:58.359 --> 0:20:58.920
<v Speaker 2>get any better.

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:03.119
<v Speaker 1>All right, well we will, Uh they'll wrap and uh

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 1>hope everyone enjoys a great Master Sunday. You've been listening
