12
00:00:53,760 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: The Open, the Old Course, hundred fifty years at Goal podcast.

13
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: This is a big week. To say I'm excited would

14
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: be an understatement. I'm recording this on Tuesday, kind of morning.

15
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: I couldn't sleep last night. I got up just laying

16
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: there in bed at four am. Turned on Golf Channel

17
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: and just watch press conferences, watch them live from the

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: Old Course. Went on YouTube. They just have a constant

19
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: loop of the range and the course. It's awesome, it

20
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,279
Speaker 1: really is. And uh, we got sobel coming up. Jason

21
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: sobel talking gambling as we have them on every Golo Pot.

22
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: So this is all golf today, while football podcast a

23
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: little later in the week. But we we're dedicating this

24
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: to the UH. You know, we'll dive into the tournament,

25
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: but obviously the Open. But there's some stuff that happened.

26
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: We got to talk about old Greg Norman and lift,

27
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: and then I'll give some of my picks uh as well.

28
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: What I probably will do for Monday show will just

29
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: be a reaction to the Open, UH that will come

30
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: out Monday morning, and then we'll have I I actually

31
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: been interviewing some football guys, some players that will be

32
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: out next week as well. So we content flowing, content

33
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: flowing if you if you want to get in the

34
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: mailbag at Golo pod, is the Instagram fire in those

35
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: d M s at Golo Pod and Uh, I appreciate

36
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: everyone who interacts and reaches out. That's the easiest way

37
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: to get a hold of me when it comes to

38
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: golf at Golo Pod Instagram. But I wanted to start

39
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: just with this event, and I think there are certain

40
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: things in sports that you know if if you're even

41
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: if you're a casual sports fan, let alone the level

42
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure if you're listening to this or what I

43
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: am at the highest level, or you just kind of

44
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: know it's it's bigger than the normal event. Like, let's

45
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: face it, you turn on a baseball game in the

46
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: middle of the July, it doesn't mean anything. The reason

47
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: a lot of these conference realignments are happening in college

48
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: football is because they play so many games that aren't

49
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: generating the cash. USC playing Oregon State isn't making them

50
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: any money, right, But when Auburn plays Alabama in football,

51
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: When Michigan plays Ohio State in football, when Duke plays

52
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: North Carolina in basketball, when the Indie five hundred takes place,

53
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: when the n C Double A tournament starts, when the

54
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: World Cup happens in golf, when the Masters happens, we

55
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: all know it just means more than everything else, right.

56
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: It's why one problem for baseball is their regular season

57
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: is completely irrelevant to us as the consumer. I'm not

58
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: saying I watched some baseball, but it's why the playoffs

59
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: are so big because they have so much inventory. During

60
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: the regular season, the urgency isn't there. So one thing

61
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: football really hangs its hat on is every game matters

62
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: because they don't have to play that many games, especially

63
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: college football, but even the NFL, like losing a game

64
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: could cost you the playoffs. Losing a game in baseball

65
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: that is not the case. You got a hundred six

66
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: two of them. Even in basketball, most of the league

67
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: takes minimum of fifteen games just to rest and and honestly,

68
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: the reason to live has a chance because the PGA

69
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: tour now Hall has all these events rightfully so to

70
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: try to generate money for their players that a lot

71
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: of the players pick and choose no play. The John

72
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: Deere just doesn't matter. Unless you've been on j T

73
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: posted and make three gs like I did, then it's awesome.

74
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: But let's face it, the majority of people you couldn't

75
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: pay him to watch it. Even the week before the Travelers,

76
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: it just lacked a little juice, you know, it just

77
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: it just does. There's two or three PGA tournaments beside

78
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: the players riv even Pebble beachs they all go to

79
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia now it just doesn't matter. And the Masters,

80
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: there's nothing like it. And to me, the Open at

81
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: the Old Course might not be the Masters, but it's

82
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: damn close the PGA Championship. I think has taken a

83
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: step up. It's the worst major of the group. And

84
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: again it's all relative. The US Open, depending on the venue,

85
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: can be awesome. This year was pretty cool. It ain't this,

86
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: and it's definitely not the Masters, and it's you know,

87
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: it's a major, it's a big deal. It's a major. Wimbledon.

88
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: I watched a decent amount of Wimbledon over the last

89
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Why because when it's on, you feel

90
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: the gravity of it, you feel how much it means. Hell,

91
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: they just pan around their dignitaries, they're famous people. It's cool,

92
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: you know, as a sports fan like this means a lot.

93
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: Even if the majority of players beside Djokovic and and

94
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: the Doll, I don't know who they are. I don't care.

95
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter because they're playing on the grass. They're

96
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: playing over there. It feels badass. And watching Tiger talk

97
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: this morning, like he said, this event feels bigger than

98
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: any event he's played in in terms of the Open.

99
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: So I can't wait. I've never been over there. The

100
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: only links golf I've ever played was Bandoned Dunes, and

101
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: it's pretty incredible. It's hard to beat. So I think

102
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: the key is you know, just enjoy it. I mean,

103
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: this is one of those where if you live on

104
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: the West coast, you get up early, you watch some golf.

105
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: You live on the East coast, you get up. You know,

106
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: right when you get up it's rocking and rolling, so

107
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: I you know, this is the type course. These shots

108
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: are so different, it looks so different. Last week was cool,

109
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: but it's not true, Lenksy, I mean there were trees.

110
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: Even watching the broadcast the Scottish Open, they're like it

111
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: might have been troubled. Imilman or fal Though was like,

112
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, they're probably more trees on this course than

113
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: the majority of Links courses over here. And I like

114
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: no trees. I like wide open, crazy winds, which if

115
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: you've ever banded bandoned dunes and you're playing winds, it's

116
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: doesn't suck that bad because ultimately you're right on the

117
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: water and there's nothing like Links golf on the water,

118
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: or like the old course with the town around. They're

119
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: hitting over hotels, the pot bunker's um. I couldn't be

120
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: any more excited. Obviously Tiger ads used to this, but

121
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: let's face it, whether Tiger played in this or not,

122
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: this would have felt man sters like because it had

123
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: the juice of the hundred and fifty year and being

124
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: at the old course. They haven't been there in seven years,

125
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: so I'm pretty fired up speaking of this event. I mean,

126
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: on Monday they had the former champions and they all

127
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: got together and they played, and that included Louis us

128
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: Days and and Phil Nicholson, who are obviously now and live.

129
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: Greg Norman was told not to come, and there's something

130
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: to be said. Listen, you know, not everyone's gonna like you.

131
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are, You're gonna piss people off,

132
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: especially if you're an alpha, a hard charger, a high achiever.

133
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: People are not gonna like you. Whether you could be

134
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: a lazy loser and people are gonna like you. So

135
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: you just you can't try to please everyone. That's impossible.

136
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: But don't be a dick, don't be an asshole. Just

137
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: try to get along with people. And I would say

138
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: in sports specifically, there there's one guy who I grew

139
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: up watching Terrell Owens and he was an incredible player.

140
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: You know, it was at the end of Jerry Rice's

141
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: career and TL was coming on and it was clear

142
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: this guy's a mutant. Where do we find this guy,

143
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: third round pick from a school not the University of

144
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: Tennessee Tennessee Chattanooga, was bigger, faster, stronger than everyone else.

145
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: And then he just became this caricature that everyone kind

146
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: of despised and got run out of town everywhere he went,

147
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: but everyone acknowledged, like, for ten eleven, twelve straight years,

148
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: this guy one of the best players in the league.

149
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: This guy beside Jerry Rice, like the best wide receiver

150
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. How do you stop this guy? And

151
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: then his career ends, everyone hates him. He gets into

152
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame after several tries. You can argue whether

153
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: that's fair or not. And then he does his Hall

154
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: of Fame speech, not even a can't Ohio, and it's like,

155
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: what a sad turn of events. Well, honestly, what a

156
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: sad turn of events. And ultimately it came that people

157
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: did not like him, Teammates, coaches, obviously, the media. Like

158
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: it's one thing when the media just doesn't like you,

159
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: Like ultimately the media, I feel there's a disconnect between

160
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: of with the media and the fans. The media doesn't

161
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: despises live for morality. Most of the fans. We understand

162
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: money makes the world go round. If we got offered

163
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: those sums of money, the overwhelming majority of us would go.

164
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: So there's a major disconnect which the consumer and the media,

165
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: which happens a lot. Now. It's like the media, you're

166
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: not representing us, the people. So when I see these

167
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: people get on their moral high horse, I think the

168
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: small percentage of people get on their moral high horse

169
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: in real life because you just turn off the Internet,

170
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: you go live life like most people are just pretty chill,

171
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: not that caught up in every little detail. Now you

172
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: can argue whether it's right or wrong. And it would

173
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: be if they were just offering a million dollars and

174
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: you're already a millionaire, it'd be stupid. But it's hard

175
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: to tell someone to turn down a hundred fifty million dollars.

176
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: I was listening to No Laying It Up podcast on

177
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: Sunday and they had on a reporter from ESPN and

178
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: he had heard that the number they're offering Adeki Matt

179
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: Siama was similar to the one Rory and John rom

180
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: got because of the market he'd from Japan. We're talking

181
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: like four hundred million dollars. Now Adeki hasn't said yes, obviously,

182
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: rom and Rory Evans said yes, but if one of

183
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: those three did and Adeki would be a big blow.

184
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: Obviously Rory would be devastating and John rom like Adecki,

185
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: would be a massive blow. But how could you fault

186
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: anyone for turning down four hundred million dollars. I respect

187
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: anyone in any business that says no. It's the most

188
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: powerful words you can ever have in business. And you

189
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: could argue life no, you know, and in business it

190
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: makes you more valuable. But like if Adeki left at

191
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: the end of the weekend for four million dollars or

192
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: four and fifty million dollars or three or fifty million dollars,

193
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: Aim and Lynch and the Golf channel elites would all

194
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: call him a complete scumbag. I think most of us

195
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: in society, most of us, normal human beings, would be like,

196
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: I can't blame him, totally understand. I mean, it's it's

197
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: a lot of cash flow. So Greg Norman is involved

198
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: in this. Greg Norman liked to ll On is one

199
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: of the great talents the golf has ever seen. But

200
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: when you watch that thirty for thirty and you could

201
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: argue he got a little unlucky. I mean he lost

202
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: multiple majors on chipimp's multiple majors on chip. That's insane.

203
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: That happened to him in extra holes right in the

204
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: Master's Larry Mins, that's crazy. And I'll never forget and listen,

205
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't know Greg Norman never met the guy, probably

206
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: never will. I used. I actually own a couple of

207
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: his shirts. I've always liked his golf clothing. Not gonna lie,

208
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: but you watch that thirty for thirty and if you

209
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: watch documentaries on his career, he was an incredible player,

210
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: but when it came down to winning, at the biggest moments,

211
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: it felt like he crumbled. And the thing I will

212
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: never forget is when Fox got the US Open and

213
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: they went to Chambers Bay and that was the one

214
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: speed one and DJ hole eighteen par five hits it

215
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: on into I think it's like fifteen feet for eagle.

216
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: He hits, honestly, two putts. He went he I guess

217
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: two putts forces a playoff. One put wins the thing.

218
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: Joe Buck throws it to to Greg Norman, like what

219
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: are you thinking here on the eagle put and Greg

220
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: Norman literally choked. He had nothing to say, He went silent.

221
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: It was honestly one of the most embarrassing things I've

222
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: ever seen at the high level of sports television, and

223
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: clearly they ended up firing him. He was terrible, and

224
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's reflective, Like some people just aren't

225
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: good broadcasters. If you listen to me on three and Out,

226
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: we talked about that a lot with Jason Witten and

227
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. That doesn't just because you're not good at broadcasting,

228
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: like whatever. But people despise this guy. People do not

229
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: like him. Phil You can say whatever you want, like

230
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: he does have a lot of people that like him.

231
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: He didn't get along with a lot of people. Greg

232
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: Norman clearly doesn't get along with a lot of people.

233
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: Now there's a big picture thing that just happened. The

234
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: White House in Biden and crew are going over to

235
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, right They're going this week. They've already been

236
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: in contact and this week specifically yesterday on Monday, it

237
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: was announced that the d o J is gonna be

238
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: looking into the anti competitive behavior year of the PGA Tour.

239
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: With this with the Saudi Live League, you can't tell

240
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: me the two things aren't intertwined, because one thing we're

241
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: going over there is to beg for some help, right

242
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: to get us some gas, to get us I mean,

243
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: obviously you gotta make gas with oil, you know what

244
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean. And if I'm the side, he's like, hey,

245
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: how does the real world work? You scratch my back,

246
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: I'll scratch your back. The media lives in this utopian society,

247
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: in the real world, in the business world, in the

248
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: trenches of life, in the business community. That's the way

249
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: it works, That's the way commerce has done. So I'm

250
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia like, hey, I'll play ball with you guys.

251
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: I'll help you guys out, but you have to do

252
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: something that we're putting billions of dollars into. How about

253
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: you help us out and look into this thing. And

254
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm watching the Golf Channel before I went to bed

255
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: on Monday night, and Rex Hoggart was talking about he's

256
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: a writer I think for I don't even know, maybe ESPN,

257
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: but he does some stuff on Golf Channel and he

258
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: was speaking that he talked to several guys on the

259
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: live tour and you can put it's pretty easy to

260
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: figure this out. Maybe it's just one guy that's at

261
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: the open and said that attorneys have already reached out

262
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: to him and asked for information because they're looking into

263
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: this thing now. J. Monahan was quoted they beat this

264
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: thirty years ago when Greg Norman tried to do it

265
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: to him before. So they've beat this. But I do

266
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: wonder if this time it'll be a little different, and

267
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: I I'd be naive, like I don't remember one or two.

268
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: I was, you know, six seven, eight years old. But

269
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: I do know the white society works now is we're

270
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: pretty pro employee as we should be, especially independent contractors.

271
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: So I'm no lawyer, just have a couple of random

272
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: degrees from state schools that mean nothing. Luckily I can

273
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: talk for a living. Not sure what else. I do,

274
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: probably be digging ditches somewhere, and I'm not a great

275
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: ditch digger, So I do wonder it's gonna be tough. Again,

276
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: there's precedent and that works in the courtroom, but I

277
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be tough to overcome. And I do

278
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: wonder if ultimately the PGA tour is gonna lose this battle.

279
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: And I'm not necessarily saying because the politicians are forcing

280
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: the d o J here. I just wonder if it's

281
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: kind of a black and white case that I'm an

282
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: independent contractor. I should be able to do whatever I

283
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: want now as players, and Billy Horschell went on the

284
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: rant of saying, we sign a contract, the stipulations are

285
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: black and white. But I do wonder sometimes when you

286
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: look into that, is that contract fair and should they

287
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: be allowed to do this. I've said all along, I

288
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: as an independent contractor myself, I would be furious if

289
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: I was a guy that wanted to kind of play

290
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: both fields. Now you can say that that's not what

291
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: you grow up what you should want to do. But

292
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: if I was one of those guys, you know, if

293
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: I was Taylor Gooch or brooks Kepta that want to

294
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: do both, Uh, I'm glad that they have the ability

295
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: to fight, and I probably feel pretty good about it.

296
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: And I think Greg Norman told these guys, when you come,

297
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna win, and that would create a

298
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: lot of chaos. And that's why I think Rory ultimately,

299
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: when he played in this JP McManus pro am last week,

300
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: which is run by this huge billionaire, I'm sure he's

301
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: starting to get the realization of, like one, these guys

302
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: aren't going away and to this is the way the

303
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: real world works like they are not gonna stop, so

304
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: you might as well attempt to play ball. Now, you

305
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: could argue, is Greg Norman in the side he's gonna

306
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: play ball? Greg Norman won't. Maybe the soddies will. Uh,

307
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: they're in a weird spot. I've said it for over

308
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: and over that I think Jay Monahan was reactive instead

309
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: of proactive, and now they're at the spot. But ultimately

310
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: they're run by a guy who's hated by everyone. But

311
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: I can't deny the videos coming out. He's got a

312
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: little like a Rod thing to him, even though a

313
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: rod unlike Terrell Owens, has battled back and a lot

314
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: of people like him. Where Greg Norman at least, you know,

315
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't know actually if a lot of former players,

316
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: the former players that I ever met that kind of

317
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: played an a right era always hated him. But you know,

318
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: Greg Norman feels like kind of in a similar boat

319
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: because everyone's like, yeah, he does and be here. Tiger

320
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: said that, j T said that, Rory said that, like

321
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: we don't want him around here. That's you know, this

322
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: guy won the tournament twice. You could argue that's not

323
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: even fair, But they don't want to make Greg Norman

324
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: a big deal here because he'll make this about himself.

325
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: And really, when I say himself about the live tour,

326
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: as he should, That's what I would do if I

327
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: was in hissues. So, and this is the thing with golf.

328
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: Golf is kind of a closed, elitist country club thing

329
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: in general, especially at the highest level. They don't have

330
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: to do anything they don't want to do. So the

331
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: one thing that could screw live at any moment is

332
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: the open. Obviously, the Masters, the p GA, and you

333
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: know the U S Open are a little different, but

334
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: the U S Open if they wanted to get ugly,

335
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: they could ban all these guys. And this is not

336
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: like just at any moment the Muni Golf you can

337
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: just show up and try to get a tea time.

338
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: That's not the way that the exclusive clubs work in

339
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: the exclusive tournaments work. And you've seen them slowly flex

340
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: their muscle, right, and this was their first move. Now

341
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: will that continue? I don't know. Uh, That's what makes

342
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: this story so fascinating. There's so much unknown, and to

343
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: me it's one of the coolest stories. Would be the

344
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: wrong way to put it, but I would say most

345
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: interesting stories in recent memory, given how many different variables,

346
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: how much it impacts, how much it get brings people

347
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: that don't even care that much about golf involved in

348
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: this thought process. So it just showed you it's just

349
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: another kind of part of this growing story. Then let's

350
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: face it, if you're Greg Norman and you're an egomaniac

351
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: and you're obsessed with revenge and a vandett against the

352
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: PGA Tour, you would think they just did business with

353
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: the European Tour, and then a week later they combined

354
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: forces basically. Then a week later, the RNA, who is

355
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: separate from the PGA Tour, bans me from a tournament

356
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: to celebrate, you know, the hundred and fiftieth anniversary, where

357
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm a two time champion. I'm one of the greatest

358
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: players of all time, you know, probably top twenty talent,

359
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: but I only won two majors and those were two

360
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: of them the Opens, and they didn't let me come.

361
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: If if I was in issues, I would be even

362
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: more piste off. I would be in double fu mode,

363
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: so you could argue this thing might even get uglier.

364
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: I would go extra hard after stealing more guys because

365
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: I would think that the PGA Tour was a huge

366
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: reason that they banned me. You could say, well, the

367
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: RNA and the Open and just they think for themselves. Yeah,

368
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they don't. But you can't tell me

369
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: that Jay Monahan wasn't pushing for this. Uh So it's

370
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: just it's just a story that's not gonna die. And then,

371
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: last but not least, before we get into sobel my

372
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: betting card. I bet Justin Thomas a long time ago.

373
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: I think right after the Masters, maybe maybe it's the

374
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: PJA Championship. And I don't feel quite as good. He's

375
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: obviously been injured. Uh he missed the cut last week.

376
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: Doesn't bother me as much because he immediately came to St.

377
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: Andrews and started practicing with Tiger. But I don't feel

378
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: as great about that given his injury as I once did.

379
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: But I do feel pretty confident with him and bones

380
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,239
Speaker 1: on the bag and a guy with every shot the

381
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: ability to just make things happen. Though his record is

382
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: not great, He's spoken about that just in majors in general,

383
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: I still believe that he was gonna be a guy

384
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: that had a huge breakthrough year. I'm just not quite

385
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: as confident as I when I made the bet and

386
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: the odds actually got a little better. But the guy

387
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: that I have put a massive, massive wager on. If

388
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: a unit for me is one, I've put five units

389
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: on the guy. So if Rory wins, I'll make about

390
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: five g's. And I just think it's his time. You know,

391
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: he's in an incredible mental space. He has played an

392
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: unreal season really, since he had that final day at

393
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: the Ryder Cup where he was really shitty until the

394
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: last day where he kicked as and he cried, he

395
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: has felt like a different human being. He's finished. He

396
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: was second of the Master's, eighth of the p g A,

397
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: and fifth at the U S Open, and he just

398
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: played really, really good golf. And obviously with this tournament

399
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: means to him. He's Irish and this is in Scotland,

400
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: but still it's you know, for US Americans, I think

401
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: of it kind of is the same thing. And even

402
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: he says like this is kind of the home area. Uh.

403
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: You know, he's the biggest active star in golf right

404
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: now and he's playing awesome, and listen, it's hard to

405
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: pick winners. I'm not saying I would bet the mortgage

406
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: on it, but I feel pretty comfortable making the biggest

407
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: golf bet I've ever made. I've hit golf bets that

408
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: have paid three four grand, but that those are because

409
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: the return on investment have been outstanding. I've never put

410
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: this amount of money because it's on golf. It's it's

411
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: very very hard pick winners, and typically you don't pick

412
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: the favorites unless his name is Tiger Eldre Tiger Woods.

413
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: But I feel pretty good about taking the heavy favorite.

414
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: I like where his head's at, like where his game's at,

415
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: and I think it would be pretty remarkable and pretty fitting.

416
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: Uh and honestly would be a little story bookie for

417
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour rory against Live. But it's you can't

418
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: be it emotional with gambling. That's why I like several

419
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: other guys. Tommy Fleetwood, who has really been on the

420
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: comeback trail these last couple of months, just finished top

421
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: ten in Scotland, is an iron flusher. I mean there's

422
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: a tournament which, let's face it, I saw I saw

423
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: not Taylor Gooch but Sam Burns show how hard the

424
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: fairways were bounced a ball on the fairway, a golf

425
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: ball and a bounce back up into his hand. So

426
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: you don't need to hit it yards to me, and

427
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: I've never played there, but I did a lot of

428
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: research second Shot Golf course, just in terms of if

429
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: the winds pumping, you might have to hit seven irons

430
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: twenty yards. If the wind is pumping downhill, you might

431
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: have to hit a sand wedge from a hundred and

432
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: sixty five. And guys who feel very, very comfortable as

433
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: great ball strikers. This guy has also had success in

434
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: the Open Championship while at other courses. But again, this

435
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: guy is from this area, so I like Tommy Fleetwood

436
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: a lot. Victor Hovlin is another guy. I was texting

437
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: with my cousin Nick, and we were talking about Bryson

438
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: being kind of like, it's pretty crazy. Just a year ago,

439
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: Bryson was considered one of the best players in the

440
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: world and every single tournament from a gambling perspective, Bryson

441
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: d Shambeau was somewhere between fifteen and to one every

442
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: tournament basically in two twenty one, and he deserved because

443
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: he was winning. He was a major champion, he was competitive.

444
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he was just in the mix every tournament.

445
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: He's a hundred to one. Now I don't like him

446
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: here because it's just hard to control your driver when

447
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: fairways of rock hard. But that's pretty good value. That

448
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: that that really is pretty good value if you took

449
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: just even if you put twenty dollars on Bryson d

450
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: Shambo at a hundred and one or whatever, he ends

451
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: up going off to one. I don't think it's that crazy,

452
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: but Victor Hovland where a lot of people get off

453
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: him in majors because it's chipping and a short game

454
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: is not great. Well, anyone that's played links golf, whether

455
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: you've played it, just your random links around where you

456
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: live or bend to Bandon or to the this area Scotland, Ireland,

457
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: whatever you don't need. I mean, chipping is a lot different.

458
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: You can bump and run everything, you can put things.

459
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: I actually think it neutralizes his putting. I love Victor

460
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: Hovland this week now. I don't know if he's necessarily

461
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: gonna win it, but I have a top five bet

462
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: on him. I have a first round leader bet on him.

463
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: If you wanted to take a top ten bet on him.

464
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: I don't think that's crazy. But I like ball strikers.

465
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: Why I'm going with Rory, Why I'm going with j T.

466
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: Why I'm going with hovelind why I'm going with Fleetwood. Now,

467
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other names, Fitzpatrick, the Shane Lowry's.

468
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: My problem is Scottie cheff Her. He never played here

469
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: before and just doing a lot of I'm sure people

470
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: listening have played the course, so you know, but doing

471
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: doing a lot of recon on this website called YouTube

472
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: there is It's just crazy. I can't imagine you'd being

473
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: comfortable with this place in a week. It's why a

474
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: lot of people think Tiger who I I'm not gonna

475
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: bet any money on him to do anything. I just

476
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 1: want to enjoy him. But why he does have an advantage.

477
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: He knows the nooks and crannies and and what way

478
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: things break and what hills do avoid They just know.

479
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: It's also why I like JT, because he has bones

480
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: who knows this place like the back of his hand.

481
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: So I'm hammering Rory have some action on on j T.

482
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: Also actually have a bet on a DECKI again, ball striker,

483
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: good short game. I know he hits the ball relatively high,

484
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: but I think he can play every shot. So let's

485
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: let's get our gamble on. Step up to the tea

520
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: I feel it's been more than gambling. You you've been

521

526
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: up late, wake up early. I set my alarm for

527
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: Tiger its press conferences for How sick of that? That's

528
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: pretty sick. I couldn't sleep. You're your three hours ahead

529
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: of me. I kind of came to at about three

530
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: four am. I didn't mean to, and obviously you're you

531
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: know my Just check your phone, he's talking. Turn on

532
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: golf channel. I've been awake ever since and now it's

533
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: you know, we're recording this about noon your time. So

534
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm still rocking and rolling. Watch about seven press conferences.

535
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: I love it. It's great. Tuesday is usually my favorite

536
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: day leading into a major championship because this is a

537
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: day when most of the press conference has come through.

538
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: There's usually some news, some great quotes. We had some

539
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: really good stuff from Tiger, some great stuff from Rory

540
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: and JT and Jordan today, So Tuesday is a really

541
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: good days as far as they ate from the media

542
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: members perspective of covering event. Tuesday's like you're meeting potatoes

543
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: day when you're actually getting some some good work done.

544
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: You know, golf is a lot different than the team

545
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: sports in terms of talking to the athletes because they're

546
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: just speaking for themselves, right the team sports, sometimes you

547
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: getting asked about other stuff that you can't control. Watching

548
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: Tiger really in his latter years, but you've talked to

549
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: him and I heard you tell a story. I heard

550
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: you talking with House and tell the story about Tiger's

551
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: putting years ago, and Tiger, but it does feel like

552
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: he's just the ultimate pro, especially in his latter years,

553
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: the way I mean he did the circuit and he

554
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: does it all the time, and he speaks obviously when

555
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: he's at the event. He doesn't do much when he's

556
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: not playing. But would you say Tigers just the ultimate pro,

557
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: not just on the course, but just the way he

558
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: is off the course in terms of the media for

559
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,239
Speaker 1: the tour and for the sport. Yeah, I think so.

560
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: I think he's become that. It's funny. I just started

561
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: writing a column five minutes before we hopped on the

562
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: pod here where the first paragraph of the column is

563
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: that Tiger Woods returned to the site of his Open

564
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: Championship wins in two Thus in two thousand five, he's

565
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: still the same person, but he sort of isn't. I mean,

566
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, physically he's different. Granted he's older, role older now,

567
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,959
Speaker 1: but he's a different person. He's now kind of carrying

568
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: the weight for the game a little bit. He has

569
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: greater perspective. I think it says a lot John about

570
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: the fact that right after he hobbled off the eighteenth

571
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: Green and Augusta National three months ago, he was asked

572
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: about his schedule and he said, p J champions you

573
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: have a month from now. I'm not sure he wound

574
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: up playing, made the cut and threw after the third

575
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: round because he was hurting so much. US Open. I'm

576
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: not sure we wound up not playing at Brookline Open Championship. Yes,

577
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm in I mean for for a guy who was

578
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: clearly in pain when he finished playing four rounds in

579
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: Augusta National to say, yes, no doubt, I will be

580
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: at the Open Championship. It's not just about hey, I've

581
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: played that course and I think I can win. I

582
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: really like it there. It's about this is the biggest

583
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: celebration in the game's history a hundred and fifty years,

584
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: the longest running golf tournament that we have. Tiger felt

585
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: like he needed to be a part of this. So

586
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: even saying that three months ago and the fact that

587
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: he had to circle on his calendar, I think tells

588
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: us a lot about sort of his perspective of the game.

589
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: You've been around all these guys young and old now

590
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: for a couple of decades. How cool was it to

591
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: see Tiger. It's one thing to talk about it, but

592
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: his actions taking the pictures on the bridge with Jack

593
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: and Lee, Trevino and Rory, the the hit and giggle

594
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: thing they did with the former champions. But him specifically,

595
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: like you said, he's a different person, totally embracing these

596
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: things like he would as a parent, like as a grandparent.

597
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: Like I think he gets it now in terms of

598
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: how much this means for him to be there for

599
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: everyone else. He's enjoying himself, and I don't think he's

600
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: doing it for anyone else. I don't think he's like, Hey,

601
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: let me go out there and play this uh celebration

602
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: of champions just for the fans so you know they

603
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: can watch me, or because you know Rory asked me

604
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: to play with him, or something. He's doing it for himself.

605
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: I don't think Tiger does anything that he necessarily doesn't

606
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: want to do. Tigers like, hey, I'm at the point

607
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: in my life where if I want to do something,

608
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: I do it. Lee Westwood told me that a few

609
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: years ago, and maybe it takes on a different meaning

610
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: now that he's gone to live golf. But Lee Westwood

611
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: said this has made two years ago. I was talking

612
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: to the Honda class again. Uh, you know, you just

613
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: seem like a different guy. You seem happy, you seem

614
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, relaxed or refreshed and Lesa. You know what,

615
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: these days, if I want to do something, I do it,

616
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: whether that's playing in a golf tournament or you know,

617
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: I'm going on vacation or whatever I want to do.

618
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: And if I don't want to do something, and then

619
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: again playing in a tournament, I don't feel like playing there,

620
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: I just don't do it. And it's a great way

621
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: to live my life. And I feel like Tigers sort of.

622
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: He's at about the same age that Westwood was when

623
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: he told me those comments. I feel like Tigers at

624
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: the same point in his life where he says, you know,

625
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: if I want to do something, I do it. If

626
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't, And I don't think Tiger's playing

627
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: in a four whole event like that or taking pictures

628
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: on spoken Bridge because he's getting pressured into it because

629
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: he feels like he has to where he should do it.

630
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: He's doing it because he wants to. Yeah, I agree,

631
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, I would imagine there's some people listening to

632
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: this that have played over there, but I'd say the

633
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: vast majority of us have haven't been there. Obviously we've

634
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: seen it, and you can go on YouTube and seeing it.

635
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: You've walked this course, you've been there multiple times for

636
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: this championship. How hard has this course? Described? This course?

637
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: What's your favorite part of the old course. So it's

638
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: obviously tricky, it's quirky, it's not hard. I think a

639
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna look at this coming into

640
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: this week and say, boy, you know you're just have

641
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: to grind out pars and saying that, no, that is

642
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: not going to be the case. Look, whether is the

643
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: biggest determining factor at an Open championship, and especially at

644
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: this Open Championship where it's nine Olds straight out and

645
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: nine Olds coming back and so it's completely exposed, not

646
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: like well we put in a bunch of trees around

647
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: the fifth hall, and so you know, kind of gets

648
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: blocked back. It's if it gets windy, it gets really windy.

649
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: You remember seven years ago back in we basically had

650
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: off on Saturday because balls were rolling off the green

651
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: out at the far end of the golf course. Meanwhile,

652
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: we're standing by the first team like it's a two

653
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: mile an hour breeze. What are we doing, We're we're postponed.

654
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: We play, we're delaying it. But three miles away or

655
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: whatever it was, all the way out at the other end,

656
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: the balls were blowing all over the place, and so

657
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: it is very exposed. That said, the wind is not

658
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: supposed to be blowing much this week. It's not gonna

659
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: be raining sideways, all the things that we like to see.

660
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: Sitting at home on our couch in the US where

661
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: we turn it on early in the morning, said all right,

662
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: give me some carnage, give me the weather. It ain't

663
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: gonna happen this week. And so they're high temperatures every

664
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: day between six and seventy two, lots of sun. Bring

665
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: your sun screen over to Scotland when you go there

666
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 1: in the summer, I guess and attend to twenty mile breeze,

667
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 1: which really isn't gonna do a whole lot to effect scoring,

668
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 1: and I think these guys are gonna tear it up. Essentially,

669
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: you've got four reachable par five's, you've got three par

670
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: four holes that are reachable if you get the right wind.

671
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: These guys are gonna make an awful lot of birdies.

672
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,959
Speaker 1: I think it could be something close to twenty under

673
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: that wins this golf tournament. Rory doesn't agree with me.

674
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: Rory said it's gonna get tougher on the weekend. Justin

675
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: Thomas doesn't agree with me. He said something that twelve

676
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: to fifteen under range. I still think they're underplaying it

677
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,959
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think it's gonna be something around

678
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: twenty under. I think there's gonna be a lot of birdies.

679
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: In fact, John, I wouldn't be surprised if we see

680
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: the lowest score ever in a major championship. Again, we

681
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: can playing these things, uh, not even a hundred and

682
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: fifty years been more than that. Eighteen sixty was the

683
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: first one. Obviously they didn't play it for a handful

684
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: of years for wars and stuff like that. But I

685
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: do believe that we could see the first ever sixty

686
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: one at a major championship this week. So one at

687
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: the Renaissance Club last week in the Scottish Open, that

688
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: was a much tougher golf course that will see this

689
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 1: week at St. Andrews and Rory. I was watching his

690
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: press conference about four fifteen in the morning. He talked

691
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: about he had a chance to huge sixty two here

692
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: right whatever, twelve years ago. Did you see the clip

693
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: Sam Burns you put on Instagram? He threw the ball

694
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: off the off the fairway and bounced right up. Even

695
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: obviously if it did. The wind is a huge factor

696
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: here because of course, I mean I was watching this thing.

697
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: They've had to put tease on other courses just to

698
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: lengthen the thing out. But what if it's rock hard?

699
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: Does that not defend? They are these guys just too good? Yeah,

700
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'm not saying it's gonna be like, hey,

701
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, just hit your ball that goes right to

702
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: the whole. It's going to be a nuanced golf course.

703
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: There's a lot of subtleties. It's a lot of knowing

704
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: where to hit it, knowing where to miss it. A

705
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: lot of it's gonna come down to And I know

706
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna like this. On the

707
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: analytics business. We're looking at metrics, we're looking at statistics

708
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: on a regular basis. It's gonna come down to luck.

709
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: We all know that Tiger Woods back in two thousand

710
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: didn't hit into a single bunker at St. Andrews when

711
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: he won that golf tournament. Quite frankly, some guys gonna

712
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: win this tournament. And on Sunday evening, Yeah, you know,

713
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: I just kind of missed all the bunkers. I don't know,

714
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: just you know, hit near a bunch of them. I

715
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: just instead of going to the bunker, it rolled seventy

716
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: five yards past and I had a wedge in on

717
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: a par five. Meanwhile, some other guys are gonna hit

718
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: some shots to go. I played really well. I caught

719
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: the face of a couple of pot bunkers out there,

720
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden have made some double bogies

721
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: just trying to hit out sideways. And I'm going home

722
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: on Friday after d Then those two players, the guy

723
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: who wins the guy who's going home on Friday, might

724
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: not have played all that dissimilar. And yet one got

725
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: really lucky and one got unlucky. And that's that's going

726
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: to play a big part this week, and you know

727
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: it plays a big part every week. I think it's

728
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: gonna play a bigger part at this one because staying

729
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: out of the bunkers is gonna be that's really without wind,

730
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 1: that's the biggest defense of this golf course. Well, before

731
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: we get into the picks, one thing they were debating

732
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: on Golf Channel last night was length. And do you

733
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: think length You know, some believe that it plays a

734
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: huge part of no matter where. Now, but on a

735
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: course like this, let's say assume the wind is pretty

736
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: average or blow at not crazy, does that then benefit

737
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: the guys that hit a little longer and doesn't kind

738
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: of neutralize for the shorter hitters or do you think

739
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: that some some shorter hitters great short game? You know

740
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: precision guys have Zack Johnson, you know in two thousand

741
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: five or two thousand fifteen, but you were that well,

742
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: I guess it was wind way windier than uh So

743
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: the short guys need to win to have a chance. No,

744
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: I I don't think I mean plays a little over

745
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: seventy yards. Look, if you hit it a long way,

746
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: you always have a chance Now the advantage comes in that,

747
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: let's say a guy I'll take a big hitter, Tony

748
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: Fenwe with Gary Woodland. A guy like that Bryson is

749
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: not a great example because Bryson is probably just gonna

750
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: RiPP driver all over the place. But the advantage that

751
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: a big hitter like a Woodland or a few maybe

752
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: a john Ron has is that if Kevin Kissler, if

753
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: Zack Johnson needs to hit driver to get their ball

754
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: down the fairway, Gary Woodland or Female or or Roun,

755
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: they get hit a three iron, they get hit a

756
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: four iron and chase it down there, and so they

757
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: can be more accurate with that club, and the balls

758
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: are gonna wall. I mean we saw it yesterday just

759
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: in that four hole challenge. I mean, uh, you hit

760
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 1: the ball on the right line, on the right target,

761
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: and you missed the bunkers. It's gonna go forever. Tiger

762
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: Woods drove it through the eighteenth green, uh in that

763
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: little challenge are and look, Tiger is not one of

764
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: the longest players out there by any means anymore. So,

765
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean some of these guys might have to hold

766
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: back and hit three wood into some of the par

767
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: four is that it just the ball is not going

768
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: to stop. Jordan's speed was asked about it during his

769
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: press conferences, and you know, he's asked a question is

770
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: it faster in the fairways or on the greens, and

771
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: kind of well, uh, you know, and I mean it

772
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: really is. It might be a matter of like it

773
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: might be running faster on some of the fairways that

774
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: it is on some of the greens. Well, before we

775
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: get into the main names, and this guy is a

776
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: main name technically, I mean a year ago every single

777
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: tournament he was fifteen to one. But you mentioned his name.

778
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: You can get him right now, sixty seventy to one

779
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: on fan duel bryceon d Sjambo. Is he an automatic

780
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: fade for you at this place? Look, he's not going

781
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: to win because those are those ads, sobol are pretty

782
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: crazy given how I mean, just a year ago, you

783
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: would have say, like he's one of the best players

784
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: in the world, no doubt. And here's the deal with

785
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: the part. He hasn't finished in the top fifty of

786
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: a full field event since last August. It lives not

787
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: a full field. We can say whatever you want about live.

788
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna live right now. I will later, but

789
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 1: lives not full field events. I'm saying a full, actual,

790
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: bigger event. He's not fishing us on the top fifty.

791
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: That said, I sort of feel like I don't know

792
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 1: Bryson's biggest detriment to his game, the biggest disadvantage he

793
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: has is with those mid irons. He's not you know,

794
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: those those single life irons. Uh. That's the one part

795
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: of his game that he struggles with a little bit.

796
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: If he can bomb drives and then hit wedges and

797
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: put and essentially can walk around there with four clubs

798
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: just spread a little carry bag, I think you can

799
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: actually play pretty well. I have no idea about the

800
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: injury status, and that's the big X factor right now.

801
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: I have no idea if he's right now or fifty

802
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: percent and how that's going to affect him. And I

803
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: know that he hasn't played well. But I did my

804
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: ranking of the field, John did the top fifty. I

805
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,919
Speaker 1: got Bryson right around twenty five this week, which I said,

806
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: I couched. I said, look, I don't love it either,

807
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: but I could see a scenario or Bryce actually was

808
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: a pretty good week. Okay, let's get into your real

809
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: fade with the name that I think I mean I

810
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: have money on Justin Thomas, and you've actually kind of

811
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: can vinced me. I don't feel quite as confident, you know,

812
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: last week. Let's just even if that didn't happen, because

813
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: he didn't get to come out to the Open early,

814
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: but he was injured not very long ago, and that

815
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: to me is a little concerning in a place that's

816
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like you said, it could be warm,

817
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: but weather can change their fast. Are you out on

818
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: him this weekend? For sure? I hate to fade a

819
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: guy like JT. Because I'm a massive Justin Thomas fan.

820
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: The guy's got as much talent as just about anybody

821
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: in the world. We saw him in the PGA Championship

822
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: just two months ago. But here's what I'm looking at.

823
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago, he went to the Travelers Championship

824
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: Withdrew beforehand with a back injury. Now I know a

825
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: lot of people look at and okay, yeah, a quote

826
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: unquote back injury. After the US Open, he just wanted

827
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: to get home and relax a little bit. He was

828
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: tweeting that weekend about, hey, everybody got a podcast request.

829
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: I can't really go out anywhere, I can't really do

830
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: anything that tells me that the back was in pretty

831
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: bad shape not that long ago. Went to the Scottish

832
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: Open last week, shot ten over not two rounds. Believe

833
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: you get a double bogueie and thirteen bogies in two rounds.

834
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 1: That's a lot of squares around that score. Guard, I

835
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: don't like seeing that now, he said in his press

836
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: conference earlier today. Hey, it was the best miscut of

837
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 1: my career because I got to come here and start

838
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: warming up. Brother. I get it. Sometimes those things can

839
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: be a blessing in disguise. But I just think there's

840
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: something a little off of JT right now. I love

841
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: his game normally. I hope he plays well. I just

842
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: don't think he's quite where it needs to be. Well,

843
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: we haven't talked for a couple of weeks, not to

844
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: my own horn, but I hammered a JT posting bet

845
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks and I hit him to top

846
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 1: ten and I hit him to win, so I had

847
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: I had a lot of ammo, so I put the

848
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: biggest individual bet I've ever put on one guy to

849
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 1: win it. And you and I are on the same page,

850
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: and these odds, I mean, this is not quite Tiger territory,

851
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: but it's creeping up that way. You watch him today.

852
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: You gave a good story. I heard you when you

853
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: were talking on on the Ringer podcast about talking with

854
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: Rory at the Travelers and just his vibe in his mindset,

855
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: let alone, how good he's been this year. It feels like,

856
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of times John Rom was the

857
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: favorite going in a lot of big tournaments over the

858
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 1: last year, but it felt like, do you really feel

859
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: it does feel like if Rory just just keep the

860
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: train on the tracks earlier, like he's gonna have a

861
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: great chance to win this thing. He's my pick, he's

862
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: your pick. Just hammered home every narrative in Rory's directly.

863
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 1: I feel like there all these neon signs pointing like Rory, Rory,

864
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: Rory just pointing at him. This week. It feels a

865
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: lot like you've mentioned John rob. It feels like John

866
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: Rom going into the US Open last year, where we

867
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 1: all looked at this now it's a short number. He's

868
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: the favorite, but he is gonna win this thing, right

869
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: and we all have well, yeah, anyone out and of

870
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: course he won. I mean I look at Rory and

871
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: I say, I know it's been eight years since he's

872
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: won a major championship, but top ten each of the

873
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: first three. This year he's been top twenty in his

874
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: last seven starts. Overall, he started carrying this weight of

875
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: being the vocal leader of the sport right now. I

876
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: think it's all pointing in his direction. I'll throughout this.

877
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: I talked about being the hundred and fiftie Open Championship.

878
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: In my mind, it's not hyperbole. This is the greatest

879
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: celebration in the history of the game. Yeah, it's just

880
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: this is this is the biggest event that we've had.

881
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean it's gonna be the best event. It just

882
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 1: means it's the biggest one, the most momentous historic event

883
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: in the history of the game. There's a lot of

884
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: history that we're talking about. The fiftieth Masters, the the

885
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: Round Number Anniversary occurred back in you know what happened

886
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: that year, Jack Nicholas one, the hundred of U US Open,

887
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: nice big round number two thousand, Pebble Beach, Tiger Woods

888
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: one by fifteen. I just don't see a scenario in

889
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 1: which at the hundred and fiftieth Open Championship, you know

890
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: some guy, uh, I don't know, Dean Burmester comes out

891
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: of nowhere and wins this thing. We're like, hey, cool,

892
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: you know we got the momentous anniversaries, the celebrations of

893
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: the game, and we have Jack, Tiger and Dean. I

894
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: just don't see that happening. I think it's going to

895
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: be a big name player and I've got I mean

896
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: I I've got rorried everywhere right now. John, It's sextually

897
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: what I've been doing every time I look at uh

898
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: at the board. Every time I look at whether it's

899
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: a Tommy Fleetwood, who I really like it as a

900
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: decent number, Robert McIntyre, who he's a long shot, I

901
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: take him. Every time I think about clicking their name

902
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: and putting some money on them, I click on Rory

903
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: instead and put more money on him because I really

904
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: think he's gonna win this week. I'm with you, but

905
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: gambling on golf is tough, so you've gotta have some

906
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: contingency plans that Fleetwood. You know, he's a guy who's

907
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: excelled at the Open Championship, obviously different courses. His game

908
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 1: is trending the right way. Is it fair to say

909
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: that this you always gotta hit it well off the

910
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: tea but I mean, this is your second shot, especially

911
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: if the wind kicks up. He's a guy who hits

912
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: seven irons and twenty yards or sand wedges like he

913
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 1: can do it all. It's it's hard not to hate

914
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: Fleetwood at at a number close to thirty to one one. Right, Look,

915
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 1: I love Fleetwood for every The only reason I wouldn't

916
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: bet Fleetwood out right is because I feel so good

917
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: about Rory. But yes, I'll back it up with some Fleetwood.

918
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: I bet him top five actually, which I have already,

919
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: but a lot of DFS lineups. Yes, I love Fleetwood.

920
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,399
Speaker 1: My top fifty ranking in the field, the top three

921
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: on the board for me go Rory Jordan's Tommy Fleetwood.

922
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: I love everything about him this week. He's sort of

923
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: taken a while to come back to a level status.

924
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: I think for some reason, COVID affected some players, whether

925
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: it was psychologically or mentally, it affected some guys more

926
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: than it affected some others. I felt like Tommy Fleetwood

927
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: was affected by it. Don't you think you threw off

928
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys that were kind of stuck

929
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: in Europe and not the guys in America were able

930
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: to play a lot of golf or is that just yeah.

931
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he was stuck for a little bit,

932
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: but I also think it was sort of a He's

933
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 1: a very socially conscious kind of guy, and I think

934
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: that there's something I had to do with the fact that,

935
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: you know, hey, are we really playing golf during a pandemic?

936
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: And what does this mean? And why are we doing it?

937
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: It's taking him a while to get back to that status,

938
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: but he's been He's been good, certainly not great for

939
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: most of the year, but he's putting together a lot of,

940
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: you know, seven third place finishes. He finally he played

941
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: really well with p g A Championship a couple of

942
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: months ago, and then last week in Scottish Open, tied

943
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: for fourth place, really good final round. Uh, that was

944
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: all the confirmation I needed from Fleetwood. I like everything

945
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: about him this week. Well, my Links experience is basically

946
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: abandoned dunes and Bedega Bay, but I would say that

947
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: it been I'm not a great chipper of the of

948
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 1: the golf ball, but in Links, you know, it's a

949
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: little bit different than you're just your average golf course.

950
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: So does that bring in Victor Hoveland, whose number is

951
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: kind of high a little more at of course that

952
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: second shot golfer chipping is not He's not hitting out

953
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,399
Speaker 1: a crazy rough. He can put just you know, off

954
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: the green, not necessary to win it. But I do.

955
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 1: I have a big bet on Victor Hovland the top

956
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: ten in this thing. What do you think? I really

957
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:01,760
Speaker 1: like it. And he hasn't played well, so the number

958
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: has gotten much bigger on Victor over the last month

959
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: or so because his clubs didn't arrive last week he

960
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: played with extra not his own clubs. Yeah, he doesn't

961
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: have a top twenty and a stroke play events since March.

962
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: I believe, going back to it was either bay Hill

963
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: or the Players Championship. It's been a while for Victor Hobland.

964
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: But and I might be talking down on both sides

965
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: of my mouth here, so uh, you know, so I

966
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: want to kind of go through this with you. But

967
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 1: there are three players who, you know, I think, okay,

968
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 1: there's there's a part of their game that isn't necessarily

969
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 1: a great part. And so one is Bryson where he said, okay,

970
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: the iron play is not great, but I feel like

971
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: Bryson can smash driver and then basically hit wedges in

972
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: and put for most of the round and not even

973
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: need to hit those irons. Victor Hobland is a guy

974
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: who ranks in the top thirty off the tea on

975
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: approach shots and putting. So far this year he's dead last.

976
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: Still it's been basically all year, did last on the

977
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: PGA Tour in strokes getting around the green. It's still

978
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: fascinates me how a guy can be top ten in

979
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: the world and be so bad at one aspect of

980
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: the game that's so important. Yeah, well, that's the only

981
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: thing I can do. You and I just play like

982
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: a little scramble together because I can chip it. I

983
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: just my ball striking is terrible and I don't make

984
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 1: any puts, but I can chip it close every time.

985
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: So in any case, Uh, he's not gonna need to

986
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 1: This isn't sticky bermuda, this isn't thick bank grass. It's

987
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 1: just he could put all of him if he wants

988
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: to do this week, So he's not gonna need to

989
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: get those wedges around the greens. I like him. The

990
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: other guy that I will say this about two is

991
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: Cameron Smith. The one detriment of Cameron smith game is

992
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: the fact that he sprays it all over the place

993
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: off the tea hits in a pretty long way, but

994
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: he has no idea where it's going well in this

995
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 1: off course essentially, I mean, yeah, okay, if you hit

996
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: into a pot bunker every single time you hit off

997
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: the tea, you're gonna be in trouble. But if you

998
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: miss on it it hit it wild into some fescue,

999
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be that big of a deal. And

1000
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: so I think Cameron Smith is a really nice play

1001
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: scrambles as well as anybody. Jordan's speed, I think is

1002
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: the most creative player in the game right now. That's

1003
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I really like him. This week,

1004
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: I would say Cameron Smith is right up there with him,

1005
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: But I think Cameron Smith American version, I know he's

1006
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: more accomplished now, but as Scottie Scheffler, a guy just

1007
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: can kind of do it all. But I watched I'm

1008
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 1: sure you've seen some of the clips. The open has

1009
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 1: been Their YouTube channel has been remarkable. Will's Allen Touris

1010
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: is walking up and he and he and he looks

1011
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: at Scott who was teeing off on one like have

1012
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: you played here before? And Scotti goes, no, my first time,

1013
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: And that went you know, because I want to like

1014
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: Scotty this week, and I know he's got a he's

1015
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: got a caddy that's been there several times because he

1016
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: used to Compatty for Bubba. But I do love I

1017
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: don't love the non experience. I'd be Colin Morcowa again,

1018
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 1: a guy that should, if it's not Wendy, should be

1019
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: pretty good here. But I don't like these first time

1020
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: guys here, do you. I feel like Colin Morrikawa what

1021
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: he did last year is gonna get a lot of

1022
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,879
Speaker 1: people onto a Scottie Scheffler or Wills Ala Tauris where

1023
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: we go. Hey, you know what, Mark how didn't have

1024
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 1: experienced playing links and he won last year, so these

1025
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: guys can do it too. I think it was just

1026
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: a one off. I think more coward just have to

1027
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 1: have a great week last year and and wound up

1028
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 1: the thing that's not that's that's the outlier, that's not

1029
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: the usual, and an Open championship. And so I like Scheffler.

1030
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: I think Scheffler is gonna be decent on this golf course.

1031
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 1: Like he's a Texas guy, the Texas Test, Texas guys

1032
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: in the wind Um, you know, playing it on the

1033
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 1: ground of a little more experience with this type of

1034
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: golf course. Will Salators to me is a guy who

1035
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,359
Speaker 1: he got hurt last year in the Open Championship, had

1036
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: to withdraw. He's a guy that I don't like at all,

1037
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people are jumping on

1038
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: him just because he's played so well the major championships,

1039
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: a couple of runner up finishes in a sixth place finish,

1040
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: and so I understand the rationale behind Likingsalators this week,

1041
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 1: but not being a links player, he's a fade for me.

1042
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm not into Saltors this week. One long shot that

1043
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 1: would have pretty good eyes as a top ten and

1044
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: he's played really well this year and he's been competitive

1045
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,879
Speaker 1: in majors and the players is Kegan Bradley. Uh what what?

1046
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 1: What's your take there? I know he's a he hits

1047
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: the ball high right now if the winds not pumping

1048
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 1: is a bad course fit. What's your take on on Keegan?

1049
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:03,760
Speaker 1: Just as a guy that I like him, that hundred

1050
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: and one over that I can get good top ten odds,

1051
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 1: a guy that's had a lot of success this year,

1052
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: especially the hard golf tournaments. Yeah, Keegan was texting me

1053
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 1: on Monday morning, asked me when the tea times we're

1054
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,359
Speaker 1: gonna be out on Like, dude, I'm not even there,

1055
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: you're there, Why are you asking me so? In any case,

1056
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 1: I love Keegan. I would like nothing more than for

1057
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: Key gonna be in the hunt comes Sunday. I don't

1058
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 1: think it's a great golf course for him. You're right,

1059
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: he gets a highball. Uh you know, the putter gets

1060
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: a little bulky at times. H Can we trust him

1061
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: to roll in some six and eight footers when he

1062
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: needs to? I don't know. You know it's I'm probably

1063
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: staying away from Keegan. If I'm looking at guys for

1064
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: a top ten, I'm sticking with guys who have more links.

1065
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 1: Experience doesn't necessarily an experience doesn't necessarily mean a guy

1066
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: who's forty three years old has been doing it for

1067
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: twenty years. But like a Robert McIntyre who's a native

1068
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 1: of Scotland has finishes of sixth and eighth place in

1069
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: the last two editions of the Open. He's the guy

1070
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: that I love this week. Even though it has had

1071
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 1: a great year, I think this is a really good

1072
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: week for him. Thomas Dietrie from Belgium, he plays the

1073
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: European Tour, the DP World Tour. He's been really good

1074
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: over the last few years. Still looking for that first win,

1075
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: but he's got nine career top three finishes. Shows me

1076
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: that he's one of the better players out there that

1077
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: we don't see on American soil very often. I can

1078
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: see him having a good week. So if I'm betting

1079
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 1: these guys for top tens, I want guys with a

1080
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: little more links experience than Hey give me, give me

1081
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: the Americans who just fly over for a week every year. Well,

1082
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: how about this? It was just end the gambling part

1083
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 1: on this. Some of uh. I don't usually do this

1084
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 1: because the odds on top twenties aren't great. But when

1085
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: you get guys that are two hundred plus to one,

1086
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 1: their top twenties are not crazy. Stewart sink Lee Westwood, Michaelson, Nah,

1087
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: any of those older guys talking about experience that you

1088
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 1: would could be interesting. I mean, six kind of revitalized

1089
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: his career these last couple of years. Kevin na is

1090
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: still a relatively good player. I know he's defected, but

1091
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,720
Speaker 1: this is a good, of course hit for Kevin. Yeah,

1092
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 1: not really, I don't I don't rate Kevin that highly

1093
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: this week, Uh as nothing else to Live guy you mentioned.

1094
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 1: I think three out of four guys there are live guys.

1095
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 1: Actually have some live guys on my list this week,

1096
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: but Richard Bland played with who's that Richard Bland been

1097
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: having a had a good couple of year run. Yeah, yeah,

1098
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 1: you know what, I've got some more under the right,

1099
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: like a Justin Harding who's actually a very good player,

1100
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: who's actually played well a few live events before he

1101
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: went over to Live. He was top seven and three

1102
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: of his last five starts going into it. Scott Vincent

1103
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 1: won his last two starts, one in Japan, one on

1104
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,919
Speaker 1: the Asian Tour before he went and started playing for Live.

1105
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: These are guys that are in some form have some

1106
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,399
Speaker 1: big numbers next to their names for top twenty type bets. Uh,

1107
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: They're not the biggest names out there, But these are

1108
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 1: the guys that went to Live and I think are

1109
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,320
Speaker 1: still motivated to go out and play some good golf

1110
00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: that haven't just gotten massive signing bonuses and are are

1111
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 1: just going out and you know, kind of going through

1112
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: the motions now and might lose that competitive edge a

1113
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: little bit. So those are the guys I like for

1114
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: for live players, under the radar, guys who you know

1115
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 1: nobody's really talking about. I'll get you out of here

1116
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 1: on this. I I compared to open the podcast Greg Norman,

1117
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 1: kind of a combination of Terrell Owens and Alex Rodriguez.

1118
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean, for whatever reason, people just don't like the

1119
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: guy I saw. Derek Jeter said today, I guess he's

1120
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: a documentary's coming out, Like he just didn't like him.

1121
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: Terrell Owens, you could argue the second best wide receiver

1122
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: of all time got into the Hall of Fame and

1123
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 1: didn't go to the Hall of Fame. Like it's just

1124
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: something's just off with Greg. I mean he did win

1125
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: this tournament twice. When you saw one, what was your

1126
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: initial reaction? And ultimately were you that surprised that they

1127
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: wanted no part of him showing up. So a lot

1128
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: of times these decisions are made and the public thinks,

1129
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: oh man, they just went out and like decreed that

1130
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 1: you can't show up. I have to imagine there were

1131
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: back room conversations and there was talk about it, and

1132
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: there's talk with players. I would not be surprised if

1133
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods was consulted, if some other players were consulted

1134
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: past champions. Hey, what do you think? Uh, you know,

1135
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: Greg's a former champion. We're having a celebration of champions.

1136
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 1: We're having a champions dinner. Should he be here? And

1137
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: my guess is that most of them said, no, He's

1138
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a disruption. This is what he's trying. This

1139
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,240
Speaker 1: is literally what he's trying to do with live golf

1140
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 1: right now is disrupt the status quo of what's going

1141
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: on in golf. Why would you bring him in to

1142
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:32,359
Speaker 1: cause the disruption of the biggest celebration that the game

1143
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: has ever seen. And so I love the fact that

1144
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: they're letting the live golfers play. If you've qualified, you're

1145
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: a Phil Mickelson, you're a Brooks kapta Dustin Johnson. Yeah,

1146
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: come on out. You can play in our golf tournament.

1147
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 1: We're not gonna tell you can't. You qualified. But that's

1148
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 1: the difference between a qualification and an invitation. And I

1149
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 1: wrote that on Twitter last week after the Greg Dorman

1150
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,240
Speaker 1: news came out. I think that's gonna be very interesting

1151
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 1: the precedent that's been set here. And I get that

1152
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 1: it's not for an act entry into the field, but

1153
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,399
Speaker 1: nine months from now, we've got a Masters tournament coming

1154
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: up in Augusta National where, unlike the other three major championships,

1155
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 1: you don't qualify for the Masters, you're invited to play

1156
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: the Masters. And I wonder if just based on some

1157
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 1: legal loopholes, And I have no idea what Fred Ridley

1158
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: and the folks of Augusta Nationals are thinking, but I

1159
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: think that's the one tournament that legally can tell these players, oh, yeah,

1160
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: we know you quote unquote qualified, but you're not invited

1161
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: and you can't play our tournament. It wouldn't shock me

1162
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: if that winds up being the case. I don't think

1163
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: we'll know until maybe next year, in January, February, even March,

1164
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 1: but um, that's gonna be very interesting moving forward. I

1165
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: think it's the one tournament that can get away with

1166
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: it without any legal recourse because it's set up as

1167
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: an invitation, not a qualification. That's a lot of champions

1168
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: that live has film day read Sergio. One last thing

1169
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: I heard you say about Tigers involving he's not around

1170
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: as much, but you had talked to people that you

1171
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: think he's pretty involved with Jay and the tour and

1172
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: their reaction on a weekly, just the thought process moving forward,

1173
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: the way the tours operating, and pushed for the increased purses.

1174
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: And it's clear, I mean he said it again today.

1175
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: His stance, but his activity we don't get to see.

1176
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: Is it fair to say that he's pretty active with

1177
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: the tour in this fight against uh this uh the

1178
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: side East. I think way more than any of us

1179
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: even realize. Rory told me he speaks with Tiger just

1180
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: about every other day, and he said, I'm telling you

1181
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: Tiger has his finger on the pulse of what's going on,

1182
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: which says a lot from Rory, because Rory has his

1183
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: finger all over the pulse. And when I say Rory

1184
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: knows what's going on, I mean he's breaking down the

1185
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: five oh one C six label of the PGA tour

1186
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: and why that handcuffs him, but why it also benefits

1187
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: them in some ways. I mean, Rory knows way more

1188
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: about what's going on then I think he's given credit

1189
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: for anyone. I don't even think any player would know

1190
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: that about Warrior has done his homework and educated himself.

1191
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: He's telling me that Tiger really knows what's going on

1192
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: and has a lot of influence as to what's going on.

1193
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, I I don't think Tiger necessarily wants to

1194
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: promote that. I don't think Tiger wants to advertise that.

1195
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: I've said for years that it wouldn't shock me if

1196
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: Tiger's not really a Ryder Cup captain moving forward, but

1197
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: just sort of the de facto assistant who does all

1198
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: the dirty work. The Tiger doesn't want to go, Hey,

1199
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: let me go fight a Rome and do a press

1200
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: conference in April just to promote the Ryder Cup. But hey, what,

1201
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: it's Friday night, We've got to put out pairings for

1202
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: Saturday morning. Yeah, I'm doing all the work on it,

1203
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: and some other guy can announce it to the press.

1204
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: And so I think Tiger likes doing a lot of

1205
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 1: this behind the scenes work that you and I will

1206
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: never see in the public, never sees, but the people

1207
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: involved know exactly how influential he is. So well, you're

1208
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 1: the man, and um, I mean, this is obviously the

1209
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: last major of the year. It feels like the last

1210
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 1: big tournament of the year. I know, the FedEx Playoffs,

1211
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: but it's just not quite the same. And the President's Cup,

1212
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 1: who knows that thing is gonna play out? With the

1213
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: lift stuff. But this is gonna be a pretty special

1214
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 1: four days and let's uh, let's enjoy some golf. This

1215
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: is pretty This is pretty fun. For all the crap

1216
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: that's kind of on over the last couple of months,

1217
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: this this feels kind of pure again, you know, for

1218
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 1: for a short period of time. Team, No sleep, bro,

1219
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 1: Let's do it, thanks man, take it easy. Have a

1220
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: good weekend you too. Okay, let's do a little Go

1221
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 1: Low pod at Go Lo pod is the Instagram fire

1222
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: in those d M s and get your question answered

1223
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: here up on the show. Um, let's start with a

1224
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 1: couple of ones. I'm sure you'll handle this on the pod.

1225
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: What Tiger bet are you playing this week? Maybe he

1226
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 1: feels like it's his last competitive opportunity at St. Andrew's,

1227
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: so I'm sure he is gonna give it. I feel

1228
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 1: good about him making the cut after Southern Hills around

1229
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: to Grind. I think my biggest bet is for him

1230
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: to make the cut. Maybe wrinkle of Top twenty wager

1231
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: full disclosure. I'm gonna go no no action, probably just

1232
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 1: root like a fan who doesn't need to have money

1233
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: on him. But I think a Top twenty sprinkle on it.

1234
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: It's still pretty risky. I mean, he just doesn't get

1235
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 1: to play now. I know he knows this place, but

1236
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 1: I think it's really hard. I'd be hard pressed to

1237
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: bet on him. Do you think Jack being the guy

1238
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: the side he's initially wanted to head up live is true?

1239
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: And do you think the whole thing plays out differently?

1240
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: If so, Norman's vandetta is a good chunk of how

1241
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 1: things have gone. Yeah, any time that the competitor feels

1242
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: like an adversary, it creates a whole another level. Right

1243
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: when the other person looks like he's trying to destroy you,

1244
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 1: it creates a level of animosity. And then you know

1245
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 1: when your competition is trying to destroy you and he's

1246
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 1: worked for you and with you, it adds a whole

1247
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: another element, Like they all know these guys sometimes your competition,

1248
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: you might not know them personally well. In the sport

1249
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: of golf, every guy that's talking, especially over fourty years old,

1250
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods, Jack Nicholas, whoever knows Greg Norman personally, Jay Monahan.

1251
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: So it just I I don't think Jack Nicholas would

1252
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: have taken it, So it's kind of a moot point

1253
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: would be my overall take. Okay, I think Scotty breaks

1254
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: the top five this week. I think I talked about

1255
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: it earlier on the pod, or maybe I talked about

1256
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: it with Sobel. I don't like Scheffler this week because

1257
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: I don't like first time guys at this course. It

1258
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: it makes me a little nervous that that would be

1259
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 1: my take. I like the Woodland pick. I sprinkled a

1260
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: little bit on Gary Woodland as just as a long

1261
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 1: long shot. Uh, that would be my I might I'm

1262
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: recording this part on Tuesday afternoon. I might sprinkle a

1263
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 1: little bit on Bryson. Not that I think he's gonna win,

1264
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: but his odds. I'm just I'm a value guy. Uh.

1265
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 1: What is the real lowdown on golf technology? Does it

1266
01:02:55,240 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 1: actually improve significantly model overmodel brand differences? I've always felt

1267
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: it's just a cash grab. What say you? Same question

1268
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: about golf balls. I've played the same clubs now for

1269
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: five years, and before that I played the same clubs

1270
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: for ten years. I've had the same irons four five

1271
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: and they're the same woods for about three. I've played

1272
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 1: the t P five X golf balls for about five

1273
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 1: and before that I played pro vs or yeah, basically

1274
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: pro vs for my entire life, so I play the

1275
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: same equipment. I'm a bad guy to ask because I

1276
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: don't change my equipment that often, so I would do

1277
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 1: your own research on that. I don't have a great

1278
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: answer because I've been pretty consistent with the equipment. I

1279
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 1: don't get free ship, so when I spend a couple

1280
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 1: of grand on brand new clubs, I use them for

1281
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 1: a while. I I broke I broke par for the

1282
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: first time last weekend, just one at my club. I

1283
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 1: felt pretty good. I'm not gonna lie. Would you have

1284
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 1: any connections who could help me purchase some live golf

1285
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:03,919
Speaker 1: murt I can't find any place online selling any I'd

1286
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 1: love to rock a four aces shirt this summer from Austin.

1287
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think this guy's bullshitting. I don't.

1288
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean your guests would be as good as mine.

1289
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: I would check the interweb, but they don't have any

1290
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 1: any up there. I sixty one and out of your

1291
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 1: typical but love golf and betting. I live in Orange O,

1292
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: c California, and have a hard time finding an app

1293
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 1: to bet straight up bets, FanDuel and draft kings. Obviously

1294
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 1: it's not legal in California. What apps. Would you recommend

1295
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: you know Fandel, so I I would go to Arizona

1296
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: use Fandel. As long as you're listening to this podcast,

1297
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 1: we can't break the rules here. We gotta follow the

1298
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: rules or find a bookie. You know people like middle Colf.

1299
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: How do you bet? Been betting my entire life? I mean,

1300
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 1: how did how do people smoke weed before we became illegal?

1301
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's just we there's a will, there's a way.

1302
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: UH need reaction pod to the live Weekend the Shark

1303
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: if there is a first event Live to the p

1304
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 1: g a is Netflix to Blockbuster if players really start leaving,

1305
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 1: I think I talked. Maybe I didn't do a golf

1306
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: podcast last week? Did I on the Pumpkin Ridge event?

1307
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: Greg Norman, porn beer and Guy's mouths? I mean, like

1308
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: I said earlier, he's like a mix of a Rod

1309
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 1: meets t O. His social media man, just go to

1310
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 1: his uh go to his Instagram. It's a trip. This

1311
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 1: podcast probably gone pretty long, so I'll I'll manually ask

1312
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 1: a lot of these live questions are old because I

1313
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: took a week off, I think from doing some podcasts.

1314
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 1: So I'll manually answer some of your pot your some

1315
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: of your questions for the pod, here's the last one.

1316
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 1: I would love it update on your golf game. Also,

1317
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: what new golf courses have you been playing. I've been.

1318
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 1: I joined a course probably three or four months ago.

1319
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 1: I basically played all the time. I mean, I'm paying

1320
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 1: for it. So I I shot. I broke par for

1321
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:57,479
Speaker 1: the first time in my life. Uh, last weekend shot

1322
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 1: played the next day, I played the men's tees. The

1323
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: next day, I played the proteas. Because if you're listening

1324
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: to this on Wednesday, a lot of the US Amateur

1325
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 1: qualifying is going all over America. We have at the

1326
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 1: club the US Amateur qualifying on there's actually two courses.

1327
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 1: It's not a bad set up on the course that

1328
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 1: I played. So the I'm playing with two guys they're

1329
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: gonna try to qualify on on Thursday, and they're playing

1330
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 1: the tips. I usually play the tips at a lot

1331
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 1: of courses, but for whatever reason, I just haven't been

1332
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: playing it at this course yet. And I was like, yeah,

1333
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: I'll play the tips. And I shot seventy nine. So

1334
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm like a four handicap. Who you know, if he

1335
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 1: has the round of I wouldn't even say it was

1336
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 1: the round of his my life because my driver wasn't

1337
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 1: even on when I shot. I got up and down

1338
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: a lot. I had a couple of sandy bars, had

1339
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 1: three birdies. Uh yeah, I hit it probably too. I

1340
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 1: ate hit pretty far for not the biggest guy, our

1341
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 1: iron player. Okay, wedges can be on, putting can be

1342
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:00,160
Speaker 1: hit or miss. You know, I'm it's in my We're

1343
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a scratch golfer. You know, I worked too much.

1344
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 1: I also don't love playing golf like five straight days.

1345
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 1: I like playing my couple of days a week. I

1346
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: love watching it and talking about it as much as

1347
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: I like playing. Uh Now, maybe if I got a

1348
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: little bit better, if I could consistently shoot part, I

1349
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 1: would probably love playing even more. And I don't get

1350
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: me wrong, I love to play golf, but I'm not

1351
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 1: one of those guys trying to play five days a week.

1352
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 1: You know, I like my couple of days a week. Uh.

1353
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 1: I like shooting condor part. That's fun. But I I

1354
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 1: also have a guy that can shoot seventy three one

1355
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 1: day and shoot eighty six the next day. Even though

1356
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: I've been breaking any a lot, I'm playing good golf.

1357
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: I got my swing working, figured out my wedges. I'm

1358
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: feeling good, got a lot of momentum. But the problem is,

1359
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, summer. I wouldn't say it's coming to an end,

1360
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 1: but when football starts, you know, not that I can't
