00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: be a little chilly and very difficult major. Looking forward

00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: to this one. Looking forward to this one, I will

00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: a hint. They're all on the American Ryder Cup team.

11
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: And then we will also take your questions after we

12
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: talked to Jason Sobele, who when I talked to him

13
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: earlier today he had just walked the front nine. He's

14
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: been there for a couple of days. He wrote that

15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a hybrid PGA US Open. It's

16
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: gonna be hard, I mean it's gonna be easy. So

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: just this week's awesome. I mean, anytime you give me

Speaker 1: housekeeping wise, I would really love to hit a bet.

26
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: I would really like I've spread a lot of money

27
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: out but heavy on some top guys. I'd really like

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: one of my guys to win the tournament. Jason Day.

29
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: I gamble on him all the time. I've probably put

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars on Jason Day over the last calendar year.

31
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: And the one week it's like, you know, I'm not

32
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: gonna take him in sixteen to one, the guy wins it. Cool,

33
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: I mean, awesome story, right. You know his mother passed

34
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: away last year. To win his tournament in five years

35
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: on Mother's Day. But I feel like I'm owed a

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: little bit. I do because I've supported that man through

37
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: thick and thin. But uh, let's dive into the majors.

38
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: But first, you live in southern California. Do you want

53
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: PGA Championship, It's here, baby. This couple weeks it really

54
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: for you know, since the Masters, it gets a little sleepy.

55
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: It does. Actually, it got good right after the Masters

56
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: in Harbortown with Matt Fitzpatrick winning. But this feels like

57
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: the stretch of this tournament. Then we have the US

58
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: Open here in a couple of weeks, it really gets going.

59
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: It's major season, the FedEx Playoffs, the Ryder Cup. This

60
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: is when it gets really fun. I mean, the Masters

61
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: is it's impossible to beat. It's the best tournament of

62
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: the year. But this stretch of golf feels pretty damn good.

63
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 1: I'm really excited for the next month. It's actually less

64
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: than a month if you factor in the start of

65
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: this tournament to the start of the US Open week

66
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: and to me, the biggest story going into this week.

67
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: I just looked it up John rom Well last night

68
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: on Monday night, I was watching Golf Channel and I

69
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: turned it down because I was talking to my girlfriend

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: and I look up and they have this graphic. It's

71
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: like Brandle's talking and it said Scottie Scheffler and John

72
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: Rahm have won five of the nine elevated events this season.

73
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: Rom's won three of them. I just looked it up

74
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: before I hopped on the podcast. He's made over fourteen

75
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: million dollars this season. It's obviously not even June still

76
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: got three majors to go the FedEx Playoffs. I mean,

77
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: this guy's headed for a Steph Curry, Lebron James type earning,

78
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes Type's earning type season. And listen, the Grand

79
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: Slam seems impossible, right because Tiger never could do it.

80
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: He did the Tiger Slam, but he never did the

81
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: Grand Slam. If he wins this week, and he's clearly

82
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: the favorite, obviously it would be in play because he

83
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: won the two first majors, but I think it would

84
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: be like, is this guy going to have the greatest

85
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: season of all time? All four majors, The amount of money,

86
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: the depth of golf has never been better. I mean

87
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: that's just a fact, and I'm not trying to sound

88
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: like younger guy. Golf wasn't this deep in the fifties,

89
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: sixty seventies anytime Tiger was playing since recently. So if

90
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: John Rohm were to pull this off, it would be obviously.

91
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no amount of adjectives to describe how

92
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: remarkable would be. To me, the craziest thing, and this

93
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: speaks to his greatness. It kind of feels like it's

94
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: in play. I'm not going to bet on him this week.

95
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: I actually kind of like him more at LACC. I'm

96
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: not sure why he's played really well at US opens

97
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: over his career, but like, I expect him to be

98
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: in the mix. I really do, especially when everyone we

99
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: talked to sobl it's you know, you gotta hit it long,

100
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: you gotta have power, you gotta have touch. I was

101
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: listening to the Frida Egg podcast. It's it's pretty good

102
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: that they have different guests on and someone on the

103
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: podcast was talking about Tim Michelson, Phil's brother who used

104
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: to be the Arizona State head golf coach and then

105
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: became he's now Jerom's agent, and then he became Phil's caddie.

106
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: That he told someone when Rom was in college that

107
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: John can do everything Phil does, yet he drives it straighter.

108
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: I don't think any two people beside Tim and Phil Michelson.

109
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: I mean, Phil Nickleson was betting people huge money. This

110
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: guy was a lock who win a major by the

111
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: time he was like twenty five years old. The Mickelson

112
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: saw this guy as a golf rocket ship. And I

113
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: would say the last several years he's really delivered. I

114
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: mean he's really come into his own. Twenty six, twenty

115
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: seven to twenty eight years old, I mean he was

116
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: damn good from the jump. I think he minished top

117
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: five as an amateur at the waste management. But these

118
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: last couple of years and what he's doing right now,

119
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: he's the best player in the world. He feels like

120
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: the best player in the world eye tess wise, obviously

121
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: statistically he's right there. I just think that cool part

122
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: about sports is like NIKOLEA. Jokic is trying to become

123
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: an NBA legend multiple MVPs, win a championship. Lebron James

124
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: is trying to add to a legendary career. Right if

125
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge leads the Yankees to a World Series as

126
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: the captain, like, that's rare air. I saw he had

127
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: two home runs the other night. It was when the

128
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: video got him kind of looking maybe cheating. He denied

129
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: it did. The list of Yankees to have thirty plus

130
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: two home run games in their career was like Ruth Mantle,

131
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: Gerrig you know, Judge, it's like decent company, Reggie Jackson,

132
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: not bad group, I mean, decent group of guys. And

133
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, I think Rom would enter. You know, this

134
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: is what happened because Spieth and Rory won those majors

135
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: so early. It feels like Rom is somewhat the opposite.

136
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: It kind of like in the peak of his powers

137
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: came a little bit later in life. It's like, would

138
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: this guy beheaded, you know, toward eight majors and just

139
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: as an all time like Jack, Arnie, Tiger, Rom Trevino,

140
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: Phil like kind of that group, you know, And that's

141
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: where I would bet on him going. But you got

142
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: to start racking up those majors, and I think he

143
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: was quoted as saying that he would choose way more

144
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: majors in the Grand Slam. I just, you know, if

145
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: he wins this week, I mean, I think he's the

146
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: heavy betting favorite the next two Majors. But it's going

147
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: to be fascinating to watch. And on the flip side, Rory,

148
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,679
Speaker 1: you know, and I don't you know, listen, it's weird.

149
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: Scotty is a great player. He's clearly the second best

150
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: player in the world. It just I don't know, you know,

151
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: once he's playing, I enjoy watching it. I don't know

152
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: really what you can say about him. To me, Rory

153
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: is much more interesting. Missed the cut at the Masters,

154
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: absolutely devastating. I mean just it was embarrassing, and he disappeared,

155
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: and now he's back. He feels like he's flying under

156
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: the radar. His odds have dropped significantly. I mean, you

157
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: can get him thirteen fourteen to one. This guy just

158
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: several a month ago was right there with Robin Sheffler

159
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: being seven eight to one, and now they've basically almost

160
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: doubled in the wrong direction. So you know, every time

161
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: that you just stop paying attention to Rory he pops. Though,

162
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: when you look at Rory's history at the PGA Championship, which,

163
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: in fairness to this major, even though it's clearly the

164
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: fourth best major, it usually plays pretty hard. Right, This

165
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: Major plays harder than the Open typically if there's no win,

166
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: and definitely plays in terms of relative to parr harder

167
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: than the Masters. So I'm fascinated to watch Rory this weekend.

168
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: I think there just is pressure on him, you know,

169
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: to win more majors. I mean, they're just is now.

170
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: He's definitely taken a back seat from talking a bunch

171
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: of shit about liv I think it's a fascinating week

172
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: for live right because the Masters they played every single year.

173
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson is going to be able to shoot sixty

174
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: five at the Masters, you know, non Augusta week, probably

175
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: in his late sixties. Maybe not sixty five, but I

176
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: bet Phil in his late sixties can still easily break

177
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: par in Augusta, and he can be competitive at Augusta

178
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: probably throughout his fifties. Right, Brooks, DJ Campsmith, these guys

179
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: are going to get so many reps at that course. Definitely,

180
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: DJ and Brooks played there forever. It's a little harder

181
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: to judge. I think these next two tournaments, this one

182
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: at oak Hill and then LACC, we'll see how so

183
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: equipped these guys are. To me, I'm more fascinated, Like

184
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: that was cool. I'm not trying to diminish what they

185
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: did at the Masters. I'm shorting to live guys a

186
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: little bit. Like I'm just not expecting that much from

187
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: DJ and Brooks. I'm not going to wager on them.

188
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 1: I just my my standard for them is just a

189
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: little lower given that I see everyone reacting. A lot

190
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 1: of people are gonna bet on Brooks. A lot of

191
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: people think DJ's a good play here, and historically they

192
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 1: one hundred percent would be. But I'm just fascinated to

193
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: watch this all play out.

194
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: Right.

195
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: The Masters is a very very It's an outlier from

196
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: the other majors because it never rotates, and once you've

197
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: played it ten times ten times for all your practice rounds.

198
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: I mean that's a lot of reps at one individual place. Right,

199
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: We'll see, We'll see. I would again, like I said,

200
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gambling on any of these guys. I hope

201
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: that some of them are in the mix. I think

202
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: it makes it for much more interesting and fascinating television.

203
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: But I think it's going to be a little more difficult,

204
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: and I would be a little if you told me

205
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: that more than half for these guys missed the cut.

206
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: I think stuff like that's on the table just because

207
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: I think good players at tough courses US Open, PGA

208
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: just missed the cut. It is difficult. Listen. The guy

209
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: that I'm betting on pretty heavily is Max Homa and

210
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: his odds. I got him it originally thirty two to one.

211
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: I saw his odds were closer thirty five thirty six

212
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: to one. Now to me, he's in the group of

213
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: the people I'm putting money on Xander and Tony Fenw,

214
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: who have had much more success over their career and

215
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: have been consistently on the PGA tour much longer than Max.

216
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: They just haven't won a major. To me, it feels inevitable.

217
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: And listen, this guys can go a whole career and

218
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: be great players and not win a major. But it

219
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: feels like Tony Fenw and Xander Shoffley are going to

220
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: win a major. Why I have wager done it. Max

221
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: Homa also feels inevitable, though he has clearly done way less.

222
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: But Max plays well on tough court golf courses. He

223
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: won the Wells Fargo last year at TPC Potomic or

224
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: whatever in DC, it was like freezing in possible conditions.

225
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: He's won at Torrey Pines, He's won at riv Like

226
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: his game translates two tough golf courses. He just has

227
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,599
Speaker 1: to prove it. And I think when you get the

228
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: odds of a guy in the mid thirties who's clearly

229
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: one of the best top seven to eight players in

230
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: the world, I think it's pretty juicy. Like ultimately, like

231
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: I've been on Tony Feen, Alexanderschople a lot over the

232
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: last three or four years to win majors, and they

233
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: haven't done it. Like I said, I think it's going

234
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: to happen to why I'm gonna keep hammering it. There's

235
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: that group of like Speeth, we'll see if he ends

236
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: up playing with the injury, but like JT obviously Rory

237
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: and above, like I don't like Colin more Cowell as

238
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: much like Cam Young, you have to win a tournament first,

239
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: though I really enjoy watching you play before I can

240
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: wager on you. But then there's the group of I

241
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: do think there's a fascinating group this week that has

242
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: a little bit longer odds that you probably safer to

243
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: play top tens. But I do think could win the tournament, right.

244
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 1: I think Terrell Hatten, Tommy Fleetwood or guys that could

245
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: easily be in the mix Saturday and Sunday. Now, can

246
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: they get it done? Can they hammer at home? Especially

247
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: Tommy Fleetwood, he hasn't done it yet. Does he have

248
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: the game to win a major golf tournament? Of course

249
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: he does. Gary Woodland, you can get him like one

250
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: hundred to one. His top ten odds probably like twelve

251
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: to one. He's a guy played well at the Masters

252
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: this year, has won a US Open, so he plays

253
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: well in tough conditions, has played well this season. Like

254
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: that's pretty interesting because this is a golf course where

255
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: you got to hit it long, you got to have power.

256
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: It's a second shot golf course. And Keegan Bradley is

257
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: another guy again longer odds ninety one hundred to one range.

258
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: I think by the time you know Thursday comes around,

259
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: that number might be closer to eighty to one. But

260
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: these are guys Hatton, Fleetwood, Keegan and Woodland. I understand

261
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: not putting some juice down on, you know, to win,

262
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: just to win outright, But I think top fives and

263
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: top tens are awfully juicy. And then i'd like, and

264
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: I can't argue with you any of the group of

265
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: the Hovelins, the sun Jams, even the cam Young Like

266
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: I said, he hasn't won yet, but he's gonna win.

267
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: That's inevitable. Like if Xala Taurus hadn't gotten hurt, like

268
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: he was gonna win several times. It's just like Max Homy.

269
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: You start playing that well, you just start winning. You know,

270
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: these guys, Sam Burns, you know it's hard. There's so

271
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: many guys in the thirty forty to one range that

272
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: are tasty, and that's what makes these majors fun.

273
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: You know.

274
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, can you go rom wrong? Putting all your

275
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: money on Rom or Scheffler or Rory, Like I wouldn't

276
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: call you an idiot. Rory feels a little bit, you know,

277
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: more fickle. You know, if you just bet on Ram

278
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: every single major moving forward, that that might be the

279
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: right play. Hell, if he wins two of the four

280
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: and you put one thousand dollars on him, I know

281
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: you wouldn't put a thousand, but yeah, I don't think

282
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: it's that crazy, right, you just would have won nine

283
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: g's at the Masters. You'd win seven g's in the

284
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: next couple if he wins another. So even if you

285
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: lost a thousand, you'd be up what fifteen thousand dollars,

286
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: So that actually might just be the smart play. And

287
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: if he wins this tournament, I'm for sure betting the

288
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: house on him to win at LACC. So I'm excited

289
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: for this. I like watching guys play tough golf courses.

290
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: I like it when it's hard to make birdies. I

291
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: know these guys all complain about long par three's, like

292
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's fun to watch, Like I know that

293
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: you can hit one hundred and sixty yard nine iron

294
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: three feet, like I like watching you hit a three

295
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: wood into the wind. Like it's it's difficult. I know

296
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: it sucks. It sucks for you you're a great player,

297
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: or suck for all of us. Sometimes it's decent TV

298
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: to watch just just a one off, and it really

299
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: just happens a couple times a year, maybe the PGA

300
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: and definitely the US Open, because LACC is going to

301
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: be a lot like that, So a lot of guys

302
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: will complain, I will celebrate it. Okay, coming to you

303
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: from Oakhill with Marv Levy. I mean, Jason Soble, what

304
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: is going on? Second major of the year. You can

305
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: hear him every single day on Series XM. He's all over.

306
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: It'll be over all over this week. You find him

307
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: on the internet. Right in his betting preview which I

308
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: just read, he called Oak Hill a hybrid PGAUS Open.

309
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: I saw some John Rohm quotes. This course is not easy.

310
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: I know. You Just walk the front nine. Give me

311
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: some early buzz on the course.

312
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, just walk the front nine. Just for this, by

313
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: the way, just because I wanted to be prepared when

314
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: I came on with you, John, it is I can

315
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: confirm a golf course. There's a lot of grass. They've

316
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: got some holes in the ground with flagsticks put in

317
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 2: the holes that it is a golf course. Look. The

318
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 2: two things I will say about this one is it

319
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 2: looks just like a PGA Championship golf course. And what

320
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: I mean by that is other than okay, different weather,

321
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: different grass types. You could take most of these golf

322
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: holes and put them on Southern hills, put them on Valhalla,

323
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: put them on Hazeltine and you'd go, yeah, it kind

324
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: of fits they all. There's a lot of similaries to

325
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: all of them. You don't walk this golf course, go man,

326
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: what a fun golf course. This looks like a blast.

327
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 2: You wouldn't turn it down if you got invited to play.

328
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: And you look at it and you say, yeah, that's

329
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: a championship golf course. It's every blade of grass is

330
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: exactly measured to the height that they want it to be.

331
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 2: It's you know, maintained meticulously. But it's not a fun

332
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 2: golf course. It's not a ton different from what we'll

333
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: see on a usual basis for PGA Championships. But like

334
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: you mentioned, and you stole my thunder there, but this

335
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 2: is I think it's not quite as difficult as a

336
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: usual US Open golf course, but a little more difficult

337
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: than a usual PGA championship course. I think it's gonna

338
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 2: be tough this week and the wind's gonna blow a

339
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: little bit. I was just speaking with the meteorologist here

340
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: on site. Stuart Williams told me, you know, it's it's

341
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 2: gonna be cold, probably gonna thrust alay on Thursday morning.

342
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: It's gonna push everything back. I think we're gonna have

343
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 2: one of those weeks where you know, it's a little

344
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: bit of a not a start stop kind of week.

345
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 2: But if they don't finish on Thursday playing catch up Friday,

346
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 2: more guys out Saturday morning means maybe the leaders don't

347
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 2: finish Saturday afternoon, they have to go out in the

348
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: cold Sunday morning. A lot of things are gonna shift

349
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: throughout the week.

350
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: Well obviously from a gambling perspective. By the time people

351
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: are listening to this, the tea times will be out.

352
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: The morning shifts then Thursday, Friday, and potentially Saturday. Not

353
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: quite as intense as Augusta was, but it's you know,

354
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: you're there right now. You're wearing a jacket. I see

355
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: you know this isn't you know Los Angeles or Arizona.

356
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: I mean, this is cold. Do you think that impacts

357
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: the draw? This week is a big deal, dependent on

358
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: how windy and cold it is on a specific morning Thursday,

359
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: Friday or Saturday.

360
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've planned very well. By the way, I wore

361
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 2: a pullover over a hoodie and then walk the golf course.

362
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: Now I'm sweating, So I don't know what any of

363
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: that means. Other than I over dressed for this. But

364
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 2: I will say that John, I'm having a hard time

365
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 2: figuring out exactly who this might favor, because, like I said,

366
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: first thing in the morning, you get out here, even

367
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: if there is a frost delay. Once the frost alay

368
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: is over, you've got colder conditions. The ball's not going

369
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: to be flying as far. I think it's gonna be

370
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: really tough in the morning. Later in the day, though,

371
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 2: the wind picks up, and so okay, it might warm

372
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 2: up fifteen degrees from eight am to three pm, but

373
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: the wind might be blowing fifteen miles an hour more

374
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: later in the afternoon, and so I'm not sure there's

375
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: a specific advantage either way from what I hear Thursday

376
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: afternoon and Friday morning. So the late early wave may

377
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: be a little bit better this week than the early

378
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 2: late wave. I don't know that i'd base all my

379
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 2: bets on it. I don't think that i'd sit there

380
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: and exclude anybody who is in the early wait late draw,

381
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: but maybe a little bit easier for those guys in

382
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: the late.

383
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: Early Before we get into specific players theme on this course,

384
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: just seeing from a lot of you guys that are

385
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: there carry distance off the tee is a pretty big

386
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: deal obviously, you know, second shot golf course at any

387
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, major championship is big. And this isn't just

388
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: driver wedge, right, You're talking for some guys driver four iron,

389
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: driver five iron even you know you can say driver

390
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: six iron for some of these guys. But some of

391
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: these guys hit their six iron two hundred and ten yards.

392
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: So you have long second shots correct into these holes.

393
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: You will have some. Yeah, there's a whole lot of

394
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: four hundred and eighty four hundred and ninety yard par four,

395
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 2: so yeah, you're gonna have some long second shots in

396
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: there's elevation as well. I will get back to it. Look,

397
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 2: I say this before every major championship, but I don't

398
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: mean to make some mockery out of our own self

399
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: analysis and what we're trying to accomplish in the days

400
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 2: leading up to a major championship, because I'm in the

401
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 2: prognostication business and I'm trying to help people figure out

402
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 2: exactly the type of player that could and should play

403
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: well on a specific course. But it goes back to

404
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 2: what we say before every single major championship, or at

405
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 2: least almost every major, which is well, you gotta hit

406
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: along off the team because you know this is not

407
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: a shorten off course by any means. But you don't

408
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: want to hit the roughs. You gotta be long straight

409
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 2: off to tea and then boy, you gotta be dialed

410
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 2: in with your irons, approach shots. You got it. You

411
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 2: can't miss these greens. But if you do miss these greens,

412
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: you've got to be able to get up and down

413
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: from around the greens. And boy, even if you don't

414
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: hit it tight with your wedges, you've got to make

415
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 2: some putts if you don't, but well, you're not gonna

416
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 2: win this thing. And so there you go. That's golf.

417
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 2: You've got to hit it long and straight, hit your

418
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 2: irons well, get up and down with your wedges and

419
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 2: roll in lots of putts. That's the type of player

420
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 2: that's going to win here this week.

421
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: Does it have a feel? You know, you've been to

422
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: these last two majors over the last month that Scotty

423
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: and John Rahm combined have separated themselves as just going

424
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: in they feel even more than Rory obviously, you know

425
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: the top twenty twenty five guys, I mean, Golf's probably

426
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: never been deeper separate even from the odds, But just

427
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: being out there, does it feel like those I mean,

428
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: I know from the ranking standpoint, but just talking to players,

429
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: talking to coaches, I mean, are they in their own

430
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: tier right now? To you?

431
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that other players would necessarily admit it,

432
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 2: or maybe they at least push that narrative so that

433
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 2: it takes the heat off of them and puts it

434
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 2: on those guys a little bit more. But yeah, I

435
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 2: think there's no doubt that those guys have separated themselves

436
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: as the two favorites, whether they're officially co favorites in

437
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 2: some books, I've seen books with ram As a half

438
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 2: point favorite, some with Scheffler's a half point favorite. One

439
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: book I saw the other day had Ram's a half

440
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 2: point favorite in the morning and Scheffler is a half

441
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: point favorite in the afternoon. So they keep flipping back

442
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 2: and forth a little bit. If I was making the

443
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 2: odds this week, John and I was asking this question yesterday,

444
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: I would have ram As again a very very slight

445
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: favorite in the outright marketplace, But when it came to props,

446
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 2: top five, top tens, I would have Scheffler a little

447
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 2: bit shorter. And again it's just it's fractional marginal. But

448
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: I would have Scheffler, who I think has a higher

449
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: floor than Rom, but I think Rom's ceiling is a

450
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 2: little bit higher. I'd have Scheffler as the favorite in

451
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: the prop marketplace, if you will, and maybe in some matchups.

452
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 2: All of that said, yes, they've separated themselves. I feel

453
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 2: like Rory's sort of have been thrown in at least

454
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: by the odds makers and the book says the third

455
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: guy in the big three, but he hasn't played that way.

456
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: He hasn't won yet this year. He's coming off two

457
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: straight miss cuts, certainly not playing his best golf right now,

458
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 2: and so I don't know that Rory necessarily deserves the

459
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 2: number that he's been given this week, which is right

460
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 2: around twelve to one. And so he is, to me,

461
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: the biggest X factor. I've got two questions and I

462
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: want to ask you, and I want to answer this.

463
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 2: Would it completely surprises you if Rory won by five

464
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: this week?

465
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it would.

466
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, so much for that hypothetical at Would it

467
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 2: completely surprise you if Rory missed the cut by five

468
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 2: this week?

469
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: No, that would not okay?

470
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: You were supposed to answer a note in each of

471
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 2: those questions, because the point I'm trying to make here

472
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: is that the range for Rory, we talked about ceilings

473
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 2: and floors. Rory's a skyscraper right now, and Rory can

474
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 2: be forty floors up or he could be in the

475
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: basement this week, and I have absolutely no idea where

476
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 2: he's going to be close to start the range of outcomes.

477
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: But at that number, he's a stay away. He's a

478
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: faith for me.

479
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: The only reason I say not by five, I think, now,

480
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: if you can win a major by five in this

481
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: current climate, there's an incredible accomplishment, you know, and just

482
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: based on the way he was playing last year. But

483
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: then I open up Twitter this morning and see that

484
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: he said that Tiger noticed something. McQuail hollow getting a

485
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: little inside. He goes over to Tiger's pad. They spend

486
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: a couple hours just geeking out, talking golf swing. It'd

487
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: be like, you know, you're some defensive coordinator in college.

488
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: Belichick calls you up, Hey, I see a couple of

489
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: things you could tweak. I mean, that's that type stuff

490
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: in a weird way where it gets away, gets his

491
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 1: mind right, and you get the guy who's you know,

492
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: I'd put right up with Phil Is one of the

493
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: great golf nerds, player, non player, whoever of all time

494
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: in Tiger Woods like that, he's giving you legit advice.

495
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: You know, Tiger knows the golf swing. So I'm a

496
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: little more bullish on Rory just because, like you said,

497
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: he gets a fly under the now and just maybe

498
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: a subtle tweak because Rory, I mean, his tweak would

499
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: be like a tweak by Steph Curry. I mean it's

500
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: just so minuscule, and if he gets it right, you're right,

501
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: he can play with anybody.

502
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just see. I see the other side of

503
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: that though, and I look at it from the other perspective,

504
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 2: which is essentially to further your analogy. It's like a

505
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 2: you know, an Aaron Rodgers or a Jalen Hurts or

506
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 2: a Patrick Mahomes or whoever we want to talk about,

507
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 2: throws three interceptions two straight games, and all of a sudden,

508
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 2: everybody's calling him from everywhere like, hey, you got this

509
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 2: little thing with your wrists when you're throwing, or you're

510
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 2: not looking off this guy. And yes they're trying to help,

511
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 2: but all of a sudden, now you're like, hey, it's

512
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: not just physical and technical now, it's mental and physiological

513
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: and emotional. And I'm thinking about everything. I'm not just doing.

514
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 2: I'm thinking. And I wonder if getting all this little advice,

515
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: even if it's just little tweaks, little things here and there.

516
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 2: Rory is a very analytical guy. And I wonder if

517
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: at some point when he's playing the golf course and

518
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 2: he's on the set about dat his drive and he's like, oh, yeah,

519
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 2: that's right, Tiger told me I gotta do that thing.

520
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: And he's trying to do the thing that Tiger said

521
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: or avoid doing the thing that he said don't do.

522
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: And I just it's a little harder than that just

523
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: going hey, Rory, you're really good at golf. Let me

524
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 2: just go hit the ball and go make some bernies,

525
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 2: which I think works out a lot better for him.

526
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 2: He plays better when he's carefree, when he's got a

527
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 2: smile on his face. They're good angry golfers out there.

528
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 2: John Ram is a great angry golfer. I believe Justin

529
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 2: Thomas is a great angry golfer. Brooks Koepka is a

530
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: great angry golfer. He's got a chip on his shoulder.

531
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 2: When Worry's frustrated, you can read it on his face.

532
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I've said before that when Rory's not playing

533
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 2: his best golf, you don't need to look at the scorecard,

534
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 2: you don't need to look at the leaderboard. You can

535
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: just look at his face and you know that he's

536
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: not playing well. And by the same token vice versa,

537
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: you can look at him. He's bouncing down the fairway,

538
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 2: he's got a smile on his face, and when he's

539
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: playing well, you know he's playing well, and you know

540
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: he's kind of got it. I just wonder if getting

541
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: all these little tweaks and all this little advice, even

542
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 2: though it's coming from a good spot and it's coming

543
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 2: from people that are trying to help him, I wonder

544
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 2: if at some point Rory looks at himself and is like,

545
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: I can't there's too much noise inside, and I can't

546
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 2: succeed with all the noise.

547
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: Before we get into your picks and some of the guys.

548
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: I like, one big picture thing on John Rahm is

549
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: I would say the most historic thing of my lifetime

550
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: in golf is obviously the Tiger Slam. You know, Jordan,

551
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: Rory they had their moments of winning the majors, which

552
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: was sweet. Kept go obviously that two year run of

553
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: winning all the majors. But if John Rahm pulls this off,

554
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: he would then be the heavy favorite at lac See.

555
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: We know how well he plays in the Open. Obviously,

556
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: just just based on the number he would the Grand

557
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: Slam would be on the table. But it would feel like,

558
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: oh my god, we'd be looking at truly one of

559
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: the great golf seasons of all time, and financially, he'd

560
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: be looking at like, you know, a forty to fifty

561
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: million dollar golf season just on the course.

562
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 2: All of that is true, and you know, not that

563
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 2: we shouldn't go too far ahead and think about that stuff,

564
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: or the antithesis, which is Ron finishes in twenty third

565
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: place this week, we start talking about a Master's hangover

566
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: because he hasn't played his best golf since then, We're like,

567
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: it can go in either direction. But you're absolutely right

568
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 2: about that. No player has won the Masters and the

569
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 2: PGA in the same year since Jack Nicholas back in

570
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 2: seventy five. Only two players have won the first two

571
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 2: legs of the Grand Slam in the same year. In

572
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 2: the last fifty years. That was Tiger and O two

573
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 2: and Jordan in fifteen, and so he can certainly reach

574
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: some rarefied air and joined some pretty elite company if

575
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: he's able to win this week, and you're right that

576
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 2: all of a sudden puts him on track for well

577
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 2: next month on icc US Open. Fits his game. I've

578
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 2: always thought that he should be a really good Open

579
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 2: Championship player. I mean, this guy's cred a lot of

580
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 2: links golf in his career too, So it's it's very

581
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: easy for us to sit here and connect the dots

582
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: and try to give him three more majors this year

583
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 2: and go out. John Rams had the greatest year in

584
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 2: golf history. He won all the majors. That's very possible.

585
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 2: It's also very possible that things go wrong and he can't.

586
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: He can't follow his master's success. The same thing that

587
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 2: happened to Scotty at this point last year looks skutt.

588
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: He didn't have a bad rest of the year by

589
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: any means, but at some point golf is cyclical and

590
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: you hit these ebbs and flows. Rom actually talked about

591
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 2: in his press conference today that you know, you just

592
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 2: try to try to make sure the lows aren't that

593
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 2: low and don't last very long and then get back

594
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: to the highs of it. And he understands that very well.

595
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: He's very well spoken about success and what it means

596
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 2: and trying to overcome failures, and he's very astute in

597
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 2: those observations. And look, you're not wrong about any of it.

598
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: We certainly could see that from Rom, but it's probably

599
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 2: too early for the Grand Slam.

600
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: Doc.

601
00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: I'll throw that much out. Okay, you're picking why I

602
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: was sunjaym I'm going based on a trend, not at

603
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: Oakill itself, even though he kind of fits the ball

604
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 2: striker mentality of a Jason Duffner from ten years ago.

605
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 2: Just plotted around and don't do anything too special, but

606
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: don't get yourself in trouble either. The trend I'm looking

607
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: at is over the last three weeks, the winners we've

608
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 2: seen Tony Fenaw, that Mexico Open, Wyndham Clark and the

609
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: Wells Fargo Championship, Jason Day at the at and t

610
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 2: Byron Nelson. What did they all have in common? They

611
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: were all playing really, really good golf. This was not

612
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 2: a one off. It was not an outlier performance by

613
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: any of those three, it was I'm playing great golf

614
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 2: and trending in the right direction, and all of a

615
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 2: sudden I had a little bit of a spike week

616
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: where things went my way. A couple of putts drop

617
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 2: in the hole, and you're gonna win after playing that

618
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 2: type of golf. Sunjay is one of these guys. And

619
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: I've got Xanderschoffley second on my list, and I'll have

620
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: outrights on him this week as well. But guys who

621
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: were playing really, really well, good enough to win that

622
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 2: just essentially need a couple more little things to go

623
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 2: their way and they're going to be at the top

624
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: of the leader board. And so I've told you before,

625
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 2: I look at him as a guy that might not

626
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 2: be in the conversation with Rom and Scheffler, and might

627
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: not be even in the next conversation with say Rory

628
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: and Cantle and Xander. But I don't think him gets

629
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 2: enough credit for being as talented as he is and

630
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: being in the same tier as a Morikawa and a

631
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 2: Speeth and a who else is there, Victor Hovland. I

632
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 2: think he's just as good as those guys, maybe not

633
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 2: as accomplished, maybe not hasn't won as much as those

634
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: other players, but I do think it's coming for Sunday

635
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: pretty soon.

636
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with young Zay. I got tickets on Xander

637
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: and Tony as well. You know, two guys I think

638
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: in that thirty to forty de range Hatton and Homa.

639
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: If this was you know, the Facebook Open or the whatever,

640
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: yet he opened, there was an elevated we'd love though

641
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: that number, you'd be all. But it's a major and

642
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: you're like, huh, you know, Homa hasn't really showed it yet. Hadden,

643
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: you know, plays really well on all these big tournaments.

644
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: I've heard some comparisons to bay It's a different obviously

645
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: with the Lakes, but bay Hill when it plays really

646
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: hard to this course, you see any similarities there with

647
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: Haddon's had success.

648
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, not as fiery as bay Hill, and obviously the

649
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: weather patterns are completely different, but yeah, I can see.

650
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: I mean, just in the difficult nature of it. Hatten

651
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 2: is a guy that I have a hard time backing,

652
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 2: at least pre tournament, because I don't know what his

653
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 2: mindset's going to be. He is so volatile on and

654
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 2: off the golf course that look, they might overcook his

655
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 2: burger and player dining to today and all of a

656
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: sudden he's in a bad mood for the rest of

657
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: the week and he doesn't play well, or I don't know,

658
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: he might just take to the city of Rochester and go, Wow,

659
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 2: this place is pretty cool. I got, you know, I

660
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 2: got a good dinner the other night, and being a

661
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: good mood all week and play really good golf. I

662
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: have a hard time backing a player who just has

663
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 2: a personality and a game that's that volatile. So he

664
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 2: is playing well though, and I could certainly say home's

665
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: a guy that I really liked this week. And this

666
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: is gonna be a very strange comparison, But I see

667
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 2: some similarities between Oakhill and TBC Potomac at Avenel Farms

668
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 2: where they played last year, as well as Fargo Championship,

669
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 2: because Kuail Hollow is being prepped for the President's Cup

670
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: and Max went and won that golf tournament in Chili

671
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 2: conditions with would wind. It was wet in the morning,

672
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: it was a big golf course, lots of rough. That's

673
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 2: essentially what we have this week. And I know Homa

674
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 2: hasn't played his best golf in major It's only one

675
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: finish better than fortieth in fourteen career starts, but it

676
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 2: did come at last year's PGA Championship. He finished thirteenth

677
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 2: at Southern Hills. So I do think that there's some

678
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 2: thought that he could play some good golf, and he's

679
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: just quite frankly, for him, it might be more mental

680
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 2: than anything else. He is trying to talk himself into

681
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: the fact that he's one of the world's best players.

682
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: I think he knows it and understands it. He's just

683
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 2: got to play like it. I think I think it's

684
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 2: a good chance we see him do it this week.

685
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: You know two guys that you know, you would have

686
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: said a year ago as the Live thing was unfolding,

687
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: they would have had live written all over him would

688
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: have been Jason Day and Ricky Fowler and I have

689
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: so much. Obviously they were super rich, so they didn't

690
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 1: have to make a decision just strictly based on money,

691
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: but the way their games were and they stuck it

692
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: out and they battled. Obviously, Jason just won, Ricky's you know,

693
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: resurrected his career. I don't know either of those, especially

694
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: Jason Day went back to Back's pretty difficult to kind

695
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: of like him at LACC, but both those guys top ten.

696
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: I know you liked Ricky as a top ten or

697
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 1: maybe it was top twenty, but those guys to compete

698
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: or Jason Day, that's asking a lot to go back

699
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: to back weeks playing it a really high after that

700
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: high last week.

701
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I ranked the top twenty five this week. I

702
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: think it just got posted, and I think I've got

703
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 2: Ricky tenth and Jason eleventh. So yes, you know, sort

704
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 2: of borderline top ten players for me, but I really

705
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 2: liked both of those guys. And look, I think he

706
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 2: didn't make a case for Day this week. Twice previously

707
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 2: in his career, and granted he was playing better back then,

708
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 2: but not massively better. I mean, I know he was

709
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 2: number one in the world, but that was a culmination

710
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 2: of a few years of good golf. He's been playing

711
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 2: really well obviously right now, but twice twenty fifteen and

712
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen he won in back to back start, So

713
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 2: there's a little precedence here for Jason Day to go

714
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 2: out and play well again. Plus he's got that monkey

715
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 2: off his back and taken him just over five years

716
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 2: to win again on the PGA Tour. Now that he's

717
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 2: done it, sort of a free role this week, and

718
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 2: I kind of like that about him, that he doesn't

719
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 2: have to play with the pressure, the internal pressure of

720
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 2: trying to chase something that he once was. He can

721
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 2: just go out there and play golf this week. And

722
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: I would not be surprised if Jason Day won this

723
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 2: golf tournament. I think there are a ton of parallels

724
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 2: right now between Day and his career and Ricky in

725
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 2: his career. Now, Day has sort of gotten to the

726
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 2: peak of that mountain as world number one, as a

727
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 2: major champion that Ricky was always searching for never quite

728
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 2: got to. But Ricky is playing as a top fifteen

729
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: type player on the PGA Tour so far this year.

730
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 2: He's another one of those guys And I mentioned this

731
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 2: with Sun Jay, I mentioned it with Xander, But he's

732
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 2: another one of those guys where the performance has sort

733
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 2: of outclassed the results so far this year due for

734
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 2: what we call the in the industry, and I hate

735
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 2: this term positive regression, which sort of sounds oxymoronic, but

736
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 2: I haven't found a better term yet. What it means,

737
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 2: essentially is that he's due for an upturn in the

738
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 2: results because the performance levels there. He's played some really

739
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 2: good golf without necessarily seeing a win or even anything

740
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: real close over the last couple of months, and so

741
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a good week for Ricky

742
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 2: as well.

743
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you out here on this. I've always

744
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: wondered this, you know, especially over the last like five

745
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: six years. These guys got so rich, the money so big,

746
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: and you know, the hierarchy of the majors, this has

747
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: always been the fourth one, and that they've moved it

748
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: around a little bit. When you're out there because you're

749
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: a Master's champ, you're a US Open champ. We saw

750
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 1: the power of the Open last year. Does this still

751
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: feel I understand like they all know it's a major,

752
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: but is there a clear drop off from when you

753
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: walk through the gates at the other three majors and

754
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: this feels much closer to like the players or something,

755
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: or does this still feel as big as you've been

756
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: going to these for decades?

757
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 2: It's big. Look, there's there's nothing that really compares to

758
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 2: driving down Magdulia Lane and showing up to Augusta National.

759
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: So you know, I can't say that it's on the

760
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 2: same level as that, And I don't think any player

761
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 2: would insist that it's on the same level as the

762
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 2: Masters either, But yeah, it still feels like a major.

763
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 2: And I'll throw in one more part of this, one

764
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 2: more piece of the puzzles that now that live players

765
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 2: are sort of separated from the PGA Tour players and

766
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,479
Speaker 2: they're only meeting up four times a year, that these

767
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 2: things feel a little bit more important now because all

768
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 2: of a sudden, the guys who are going against each

769
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 2: other and designated events on the PGA Tour week in,

770
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 2: week out, well, now you throw in Cameron Smith and

771
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka and all these live guys

772
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 2: that they've got to deal with. It makes it feel

773
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 2: a little bit more important, a little bit more momentous

774
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: that they're all here this week. So yeah, it does

775
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 2: feel a little bit different. It feels like a major.

776
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 2: You're right about the fact that most of these guys,

777
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 2: if given an opportunity, the Masters is first on most guys' list.

778
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 2: I think winning Clara jug is probably second, and the

779
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 2: US Open just because of the way the USGA is

780
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 2: gone about things. I will put it this way, over

781
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 2: the last handful of years, and I think things has

782
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 2: gotten better since Mike Wan has been there. But you know,

783
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 2: despite what Phil thinks, I think the USJA has gotten

784
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: better in recent years. But I would say that the

785
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 2: US Open is probably a third and this is the fourth.

786
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: But look, no one's going to turn it down. And

787
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 2: I do think there's a little more extra motivation for

788
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 2: a guy like Thomas and defending champion who comes from

789
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 2: a line of PGA club professionals. And I through Cameron

790
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 2: Young near the top of my list this week because

791
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 2: I do think there's some narratives in his favor, not

792
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 2: only being a quote unquote home game. He lives five

793
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: hours away, grew up five hours away, so it's not

794
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 2: really home, but this feels like a lot of those

795
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: New York area style golf courses that he grew up playing.

796
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 2: And then he's the son of a PGA club professional,

797
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 2: so this is going to mean a little bit more

798
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 2: for a guy like Cam Young, so I like him

799
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 2: as well. But yeah, look it's a clear I would

800
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 2: think fourth out of four for most of the players

801
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 2: if given their choice and put on the truth serum

802
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 2: to tell us which one they'd really like to win,

803
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean they wouldn't really like to win it.

804
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 2: And they're all going out there playing this thing as

805
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 2: a major.

806
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,720
Speaker 1: Feels like Phil's kind of got a swag back after

807
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: that Master's performance, just tweeting away and just the way

808
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: he's carrying himself. He feels like he's getting he's getting

809
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: back to his roots.

810
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 2: I don't know how to explain Phil these days. I

811
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 2: don't understand it.

812
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: Have you have you seen him since you've been there.

813
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 2: I've not seen him this week yet. Now, I will

814
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 2: say that I've been nosed down a lot of work

815
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 2: and walk the golf course and things like that, where

816
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 2: just having been on the range a whole lot to

817
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 2: go see any guys, But boy fills in a weird place.

818
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 2: I heard a story secondhand from somebody not too long

819
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 2: ago that someone that Phil knew very very well for

820
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 2: twenty years, someone involved in the game, but who's not

821
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 2: a professional golfer that yeah, considered Phill a very very

822
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 2: close friend and they have no relationship anymore. It's just

823
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 2: it's just there's there's a lot of weird stuff like that,

824
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: and I I don't know how to describe it right now.

825
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 2: I'm not sure Phil even knows Phills, a guy that

826
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 2: I was maintained he always had an agenda. He was

827
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 2: always he was trying to play chess whenever he thought

828
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 2: everyone else was playing, and he was trying to stay

829
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 2: two or three steps ahead of everybody else. He always

830
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 2: had an agenda. I don't know what the agenda is

831
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 2: right now, and I think he's kind of lost the

832
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 2: plot a little bit, and I think he's he's lost fans.

833
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 2: This guy who was so image conscious for twenty five

834
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 2: years of his career and now is it's basically burning

835
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 2: down the whole house, and I just don't quite understand

836
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 2: it from his perspective.

837
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little harder for Phil to make

838
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: cut this week.

839
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 2: Uh look if Phil goes out and finished his second

840
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 2: again this week like he did Augusta, I don't know.

841
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 2: It's I brought up the fact that we might have

842
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 2: talked about in the pod last week. I was talking

843
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 2: about on the radio show that I look at the

844
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 2: US Ryder Cup team as having I think there are

845
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 2: ten spots that quarring injury, illness, massive slump that are

846
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 2: probably the names are penciled in if not in ink

847
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 2: right now, and then two spots that are like wide open.

848
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 2: And I brought up on radio that one of the

849
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 2: live plays, you know, DJ Brooks somebody like that. How

850
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 2: about Phil? That would I don't know. I mean, we

851
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: talked about burning the house down. We'd be burning down

852
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 2: the whole street if Phil was somehow able to qualify

853
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 2: and make the Ryder Cup team, because I don't think

854
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 2: there's gonna put him on if he's not qualified, I

855
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 2: don't think he's getting that that wild card selection. But

856
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,720
Speaker 2: if he somehow makes the Ryder Cup team by playing

857
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 2: really well at majors, I don't even know anymore. I mean,

858
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 2: I don't even know how to describe this, but it's

859
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 2: it's wild. I can't wait to watch him. I don't

860
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 2: know that whole Remember that whole marketing campaign, What will

861
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 2: phill do next? They had no idea what was coming

862
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 2: twenty years later?

863
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: Well will so will enjoy the week and see who

864
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: the next major champion is.

865
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:48,479
Speaker 2: Thanks, Buddy, Wallet, says Sunjay. Hart says maybe some other guys,

866
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 2: But Walt says Sunjay.

867
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:56,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, Min says home. Well, let's go, baby, Okay, let's

868
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: bang out some questions at Golo Pod. At Golo Pod,

869
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 1: fire in those dms on Instagram. Lucas fellow Bald brother

870
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,919
Speaker 1: loved the football podcast. Recently was shown this pod by

871
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: my buddy who loves golf. I don't even follow or

872
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 1: like golf. Still a great listen, appreciate it. Double question

873
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: do you think that Phil Mickelson will win another major

874
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: in his career? Also? Do you think the PJ events

875
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: would would be high paying without Live? No, they would

876
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: not not. This year Live definitely forced their hand. I

877
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: think Phil Michleson could win the Masters maybe the right

878
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: course if he was on It would have to be

879
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: probably the next three or four years at the Open.

880
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: You know Phil in a weird way, He's never been injured.

881
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: He honestly could play well at the Masters, in the

882
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: Open Championship for the next foreseeable future. I think like

883
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 1: this week in US Opens, well one, he's he hasn't

884
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: had much success in the US Opens in a while,

885
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: and I think the PGA Championship has some similar But

886
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: I know he wanted a couple of years ago, little

887
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: freaky deal, unique kind of outlier course for the type

888
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: courses they play. So I would say, yeah, it would

889
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: be if you told me he's tied for the league,

890
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, middle of Saturday at the Masters or in

891
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: the mix at the Open, you know, kind of like

892
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: a Tom Watson several years ago. I know Tom was older.

893
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: Maybe it was Tom fifty eight at the time. Was

894
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: that a decade ago? So yeah, he's ever been injured

895
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: and his swing has kind of been the same for

896
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: twenty years, you know, So no faith that he can

897
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: compete though at the middle two majors zero, not the

898
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: US Open anymore, and not at the PGA. Feels good Man.

899
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: Do you watch any gone golf content on YouTube like

900
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: good Good or Bob does Sports? I feel like you

901
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: would enjoy Bob does sports with a sense of humor.

902
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: Bob just did a video Johnny Manzel and it was gold.

903
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: I had to buy a jersey after that. I love

904
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: Bob does Sports. Ring the Super Bowl, we were going

905
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: to dinner, Me and my girlfriend were meeting some people downtown.

906
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 1: It was actually, I think was that Doug Gottlieb. Yeah,

907
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: I think we went to dinner with Doug Gottlieb and

908
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: his girlfriend. And then after they went home and I

909
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, let's go get a cocktail. Walked across

910
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: the street to the Barstool Bar and those guys Bob

911
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: cold Cuts. Cold Cuts was not in there.

912
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 2: It was.

913
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: It was Bob and and FP were in there, and

914
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: I told Maria, I'm like, I don't think you realize

915
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: how famous these guys are. And I loosely said hi

916
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: to Baperezi walked by, but I didn't go up to

917
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: him and start bullshitting with him. And Marie's like, those guys,

918
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'm telling you. I played golf probably

919
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: a month ago. I love their shit. I find Bob hilarious.

920
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: FPS A stick cold cuts is, you know, a pretty

921
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 1: special character. I watched some of the good good stuff.

922
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: I respect, you know, their game. It doesn't do much

923
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: for me. Literally, they've built an incredible business. A lot

924
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: of respect for what they've done ahead of the curve.

925
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: Bob does sports probably more my style. I like that.

926
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: I saw that Rapaport Dan Rapport, who works for Barstool Now,

927
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: did a pretty cool thing where he caddied night holes

928
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: for Thagala. I like that. I watch golf content for sure.

929
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: I watch all the Bob does sports stuff. Those guys.

930
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: Bob's fucking funny, man, I mean those guys are those

931
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: guys are gold so big fans. Yeah, Oklahoma Native Here

932
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: Live Golf just hosted their tournament this weekend. The atmosphere

933
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: was electric, there was a lot of action, skydivers, live

934
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: golf flags, an overall great experience. My question, do you

935
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: think the PGA adopts any live golf entertainment tactics to

936
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: appeal to the golf audience? Good question. You know, even

937
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: at the waste management there is I don't think we're

938
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,760
Speaker 1: ever going to get on the PGA, especially these le events.

939
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: The music though, Like when I play golf, whether I'm

940
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,720
Speaker 1: playing one hundred dollars a hole or just by myself,

941
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 1: I play music. You know, I don't think the music

942
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: is that crazy now blaring it on every hole. I

943
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: could see where some guys don't like it. Uh, what

944
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: would live? Do you know? The concerts after the shotgun

945
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: start is never gonna happen because they're always going to

946
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: have more guys playing than are on the course at

947
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: one time. Yeah, I think there are elements of live.

948
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: I've never been to one, and I'll be completely honest,

949
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: I haven't really watched it at all this year though

950
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: I do kind of follow the leaderboard, but I have

951
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: not watched, and I'm a golf junkie, a NECW. I

952
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: think the PGA tour should always be willing to steal

953
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: ideas to make their product more fan friendly. Isn't that

954
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: what all these sports their job is, So whatever specific

955
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 1: ideas that would work and carry over that they should

956
00:47:55,239 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: one hundred percent steal. Is Jason Day capable of repeating

957
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: his performance in fifteen? You called it a few weeks ago.

958
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: He's had great finishes lately and you know it just

959
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: hasn't worked out. Might have gotten his swaggerback. The only

960
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: reason I wouldn't bet Jason Day this week is because

961
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: he just won. How often do people win back to back? Now,

962
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: if you told me Jason Day wins again this year,

963
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: whether it's at LACC, whether it's one of the elevated events,

964
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: whether it's at the playoff event, whether it's at the Open,

965
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: I think it's on on the table. He has an

966
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: elite short game. I remember talking to Hunter Mayhan, who

967
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: played him in the match Play final I think you know,

968
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: Dell match Play whatever a decade ago, and I was like,

969
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: what made Jason Day so sweet? And at the time

970
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: he was long. He's like, bro, his short game and

971
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 1: his putting was elite. His short game is really really good.

972
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: So clearly he's a high level ball striker. If he's

973
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: hitting fairways, I don't know, quote unquote swaggerback, Like is

974
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: the guy ever going to be the number one player

975
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: in the world, But like could the game, I'd be

976
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: a factor for the next several years. Hell yeah, I

977
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: don't see why not. His swing feels much more repeatable, mentally,

978
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: feels in a really good place. I would bet probably

979
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars right now, at pretty good odds that

980
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 1: Jason Day wins a big tournament. I would say last

981
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: week was not a big tournament, right, he was sixteen

982
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: to one to win the tournament. It's why he didn't bet.

983
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: The field was kind of shitty. But I think he

984
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,720
Speaker 1: wins either an elevated event, a playoff event, a major

985
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: in the next assuming he says healthy right the back

986
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: goes then we got problems if he stays healthy in

987
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: the next two years and he's going to rack up

988
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 1: a lot of cash. Question for the pod, what would

989
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: your confidence level be in twenty four Matt Fitzpatrick putting

990
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: on the green jacket. Love the pod. Think of all

991
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: the guys we talk about, and I'm guilty of this,

992
00:49:55,840 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: the Fenales, the Xanders, Jordan j T. You know, Max

993
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: cam Young just kind of that group. Sam Burns probably

994
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: on the outside of that group, but I mean we

995
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: saw when Sam gets hot, he can beat anybody. Rory

996
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: mat Fitzpatrick literally fucking won the US Open last year.

997
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean took ale Xalatoris and Scotty Scheffler. Matt Fitzpatrick

998
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: just went toe to toe with Jordan Speed beat him.

999
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: Jordan missed a couple of short putts right, but still

1000
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 1: beat him head to head elevated event right after the Masters.

1001
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: Matt Fitzpatrick is really really freaking good like stud So yeah,

1002
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: I would say, if you tell me, Matt Fitzpatrick wins

1003
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: the US Open, very believable. If you tell me, we

1004
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: look up at Matt Fitzpatrick's career ends and he's got

1005
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: two or three. If he's every bit as good a

1006
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: player I think is Colin Morrikowa. So if Colin Morikawa

1007
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: can win two majors, Matt Fitzpatrick can as well. Twenty

1008
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: twenty four next year, I mean i'd say the next

1009
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: five years. I mean he could easily win one. Heading

1010
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: to the PGA Championship on Friday. Any general tips for

1011
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: going to your first PGA event major, I haven't been

1012
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: to a major yet, let alone a tour event in general.

1013
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 1: Just was wondering your thoughts. Course looks sweet compared to

1014
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: the last time they hosted it. Well, you can do

1015
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: a couple things. Last time I went to the US Open,

1016
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: I didn't. You couldn't really gamble on golf then, you know,

1017
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: in nineteen at Pebble Beach. So I just set up

1018
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: shop at a couple different holes and drank and hung out.

1019
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: If you're gambling on a guy, let's say you're betting

1020
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: on Mat Fitzpatrick or Tony Feenaw or whatever, I think

1021
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 1: it'd be pretty cool to watch their group for a

1022
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 1: while fall them for nine holes. I mean, I think

1023
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 1: that'd be pretty fun.

1024
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 2: You know.

1025
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: Now, if you're not doing that, set up shop on

1026
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 1: a green on a tea box and just watch guys

1027
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: come through. That never gets old. I don't think you

1028
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: can go wrong now if you follow a rory a

1029
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: ram I honestly, as recording this, I haven't even looked

1030
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: at the groups. Clearly they put top players together can

1031
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: be difficult. You know, New York, a lot of people there.

1032
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 1: Some the easiest thing I've found going to events in

1033
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: my life. From the first event I ever went to

1034
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 1: US Open ninety eight Olympic Club to just you know,

1035
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: when's the last time I've been to a golf event.

1036
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,479
Speaker 1: Might have been nineteen of the US Open. I tend

1037
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: to just go to a hole and go to a

1038
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 1: hole where you get a good view, whether it be

1039
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: a green or whether it be a tea box, get it,

1040
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of beers, a couple hot dogs,

1041
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: and just kind of hang just wondering your thoughts on

1042
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: live right now. Masters put to rest any questions on

1043
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: level of competition, But as someone living in Canada, I

1044
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: literally can't access the Attorney unless I subscribe to their app.

1045
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: Leaderboard look good on Sunday, but it feels very difficult

1046
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: to access. I feel like they jumped the gun on

1047
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: the TV thing and should have stayed on YouTube. I

1048
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 1: said it to begin with. YouTube is the easiest thing

1049
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 1: to access in the world right now. If you got

1050
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 1: to Internet, you just fucking type in the website, you

1051
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: can watch whatever you want. It was they were so

1052
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: obsessed and this is what happens when you know. I'm

1053
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: sure there might have been some big picture elements of this.

1054
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: Maybe they thought it would help them get official golf

1055
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: World rankings. I don't know why that would factor in.

1056
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: But like YouTube, this isn't twenty fifteen. It was fine,

1057
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: stay on YouTube. I'm with you. I don't get it.

1058
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 1: I didn't like that decision. I hated that decision. Actually

1059
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,959
Speaker 1: despised it. It made no sense to me. Just stay

1060
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: on YouTube so we can all watch it. But Greg Norman,

1061
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 1: you know, he wanted the CW. And think about this.

1062
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: They go to the playoff, DJ and Cam Smith in

1063
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: a playoff and there's was it Brandon Grace and CW

1064
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: changed to I forget the show. But it was some

1065
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: stupid ass show because they got contractual obligations. You think

1066
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: if the PGA Tours go into a playoff, they keep

1067
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: showing it sixty minutes, got to wait. Same thing with

1068
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. But LIV signed the stupidest television ever CW,

1069
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:02,280
Speaker 1: and I hate it. I'm with you, Okay. Last question

1070
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 1: I heard someone asked that was going to the Masters,

1071
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 1: what the play should be regarding following a golfer or

1072
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: posting up any thoughts on the weekend. I'm going to

1073
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: the PGA. Yeah, same thing. You're gambling on a guy

1074
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 1: and his group is accessible cause, like you know, I've

1075
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: been to tournaments with Tiger. It's not you got no

1076
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 1: shot if you're gonna follow Tiger, right, if you're gonna

1077
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,760
Speaker 1: follow Rory or rom or just some of the headliners,

1078
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: if Speeth plays J T. Tony, it's gonna be difficult.

1079
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: But you might be able to find a group with

1080
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: some guys you're betting on that might have like a

1081
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: Jason Dave, Matt Fitzpatrick. If you got a little juice

1082
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 1: on them, follow them. It's still gonna be packed, but

1083
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: it's cool to follow some holes, or you could just

1084
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: do the natural, just walk the course. Just who's ever

1085
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:50,959
Speaker 1: playing is playing. I never understand unless you're walking, why

1086
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 1: you would ever stand on you know, like two hundred

1087
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 1: and fifty to three hundred yards in a hole like

1088
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 1: that's when people get hit. I always either go to

1089
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: the tee or the green. If I'm going to go

1090
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: to a hole and just sit there, tee or green

1091
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 1: or follow. It makes no sense to sit in the

1092
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: middle of the hole, right if it's a five hundred

1093
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: yard hole. These people that are standing on a three hundred

1094
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: yard mark and just watching you don't have these No

1095
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: one can see the ball in the air till it

1096
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 1: hits you in the face. So I would go te

1097
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: your green at a specific hole. I don't know the

1098
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: course really beside what I've seen on TV. Just pick

1099
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: cool hole. Part three's are always fun. Part five greens

1100
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 1: if they can drive it long. Part four approaches you

1101
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:35,919
Speaker 1: know by the green are cool. So or just walk

1102
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: the course, get some steps in, have some beers. You

1103
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: feel like you're not even gaining calories because you're walking

1104
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: so much. Appreciate everyone listening. Let's have a week.

1105
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 2: Come on.

1106
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 1: Homer wouldn't mind Keegan winning either, got a little kid,

1107
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 1: he's got long odds. Gary Woodland also, I would celebrate,

1108
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,439
Speaker 1: but Tony Xander have no issue with either, Big Dick, Rick,

1109
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 1: Terrell Hatton. Let's have a week, enjoy the tournament, and

1110
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 1: uh we got a new major champ potentially come Sunday,
