Speaker 1: Now, the Shotgun Starting golf is full of mathematics. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of setup work that we have to do
Speaker 1: in order to make a tournament work. So I'm going
Speaker 1: to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a
Speaker 1: shotgun start.
Speaker 2: Here and where are we?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: Alright? Alright?
Speaker 3: Did no man.
Speaker 2: Start? You are Rudy's Welcome to a Saturday edition of
Speaker 2: The Shotgun Start. It is June fifteenth, Andy, how are
Speaker 2: we doing? Run day? I'm doing great, you know.
Speaker 3: I just want to get off the bat here. I
Speaker 3: think most people will be listening to this on Father's Day.
Speaker 3: Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there. I'm
Speaker 3: trying to be a little politician here getting the good
Speaker 3: graces of all the listeners.
Speaker 2: Happy Father's Day. What are you trying to get in
Speaker 2: the good graces of the listeners? Hoping that there's a
Speaker 2: North Carolina attorney in there or something, or the officer
Speaker 2: that pulled you over, the More County sheriff. What is
Speaker 2: this politic? What was that crack here at the Echo House?
Speaker 2: Is that a good walk coffee Colbroo? Not a cold
Speaker 2: brew col Brew? At nine o'clock. It's Saturday, nine o'clock
Speaker 2: we're back at the Echo House. Full day. You went
Speaker 2: to Full eighteen. We went for a little swim this morning.
Speaker 2: It was hot when we went to the course. We
Speaker 2: walked all eighteen holes.
Speaker 3: Took Young Joseph to the laundry mat. I'm not sure
Speaker 3: he's ever been to one of those before.
Speaker 2: Young Joe Lamanya. You took him to the laundry mat.
Speaker 2: You know he's extended to stay. Full day. We little workout.
Speaker 2: Everybody had a good day. Then we went to Full
Speaker 2: eighteen in sid Our Park our Asse in the media center.
Speaker 2: We were out there at ninety whatever.
Speaker 3: Degree, cooler on the course than in the media center
Speaker 3: because of the takes or the hvact all the above.
Speaker 2: That's interesting scene in there. A great day the.
Speaker 3: Course was like, I got to ask you, since you
Speaker 3: brought it up, what was the thinking with the long
Speaker 3: sleeve shirt today? I thought it was questionable. You stuck
Speaker 3: with I can't believe you stuck with it all day.
Speaker 2: He rode an extra with me in my backpack and
Speaker 2: then I just got out there on the course and
Speaker 2: never went back in. It was I think we walked
Speaker 2: together for a little bit around foreign files, like I
Speaker 2: don't know, I'm getting a little lightheaded. I might have
Speaker 2: to go in. I was trying to do a sun
Speaker 2: sleeve thing. It's like a sport material, d ratty sport,
Speaker 2: and I thought I would just wear a long sleeve
Speaker 2: and not put on sunscreen. I just should have worn
Speaker 2: short sleeves and put on sunscreen. Were you supporting Pavon
Speaker 2: who was like sleeved up? Hit it up? I noticed it.
Speaker 2: Then takes them off for like the poster on interviews,
Speaker 2: so some of his ink is showing from underneath the sleeves.
Speaker 2: I noticed that he'll be in the file group with
Speaker 2: Bryson Deshambeau, who has a three shot lead over pavl,
Speaker 2: Roy McElroy and Patrick Cantley, who I believe he's in
Speaker 2: the house. I'm not sure he might he may be.
Speaker 2: He's still still putting out on eighteen, a good solid
Speaker 2: twenty minutes or so behind Rory's crew. Twenty minutes. I
Speaker 2: mean Bryson was twenty minutes behind him right. The last
Speaker 2: group was on the clock, from what I understand, not
Speaker 2: on the clock.
Speaker 3: They were warned, Okay, they were at least as of fifteen.
Speaker 3: I saw the official hop in, so I ran after him.
Speaker 3: I've been running after a rules officials left and right.
Speaker 2: This week you have been running after rules officials and
Speaker 2: you said he said that they were warned not on
Speaker 2: the clock. Did you hear coaches are dressing down random
Speaker 2: coaches are dressing down journalists for you know, expressing some
Speaker 2: disapproval aim point. Certain coaches you might have observed this
Speaker 2: week were dressing down young journalists on the range about saying,
Speaker 2: you know, a point not very stoic, you know, geez
Speaker 2: oh man the coach. Why we've had the coach specific
Speaker 2: coach in the crossairs, a certain monk maybe in the
Speaker 2: crossairs this week. But anyways, can't lay twenty minutes behind.
Speaker 2: We've got a good set up. Rory's with can't lay
Speaker 2: in the penultimate group, Bryson's with Pavl And what were
Speaker 2: your takeaways from following that last group of ludvig Aberg.
Speaker 2: It started really slow. There was waiting first, well.
Speaker 3: Drivable park fours like the third hole, Yeah, it just
Speaker 3: is going to get get the start out slow.
Speaker 2: And then after that for Rory's group there was like
Speaker 2: hardly any waiting after about four or five.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what that third hole was fun. I
Speaker 3: had to walk by when Tom Kim and Terryll both
Speaker 3: put it over and it was just like, stop me
Speaker 3: in the tracks. I'm sitting here, I'm watching this like
Speaker 3: you know, like, but that final group, I thought it
Speaker 3: was fascinating. I don't know where you want to start.
Speaker 3: Do you want to start with Bryson or do you
Speaker 3: want to a.
Speaker 2: Thick boy our leader, contender, pretender Bryson de Shambo seven over,
Speaker 2: I mean contender.
Speaker 3: The fans in him, it's crazy, it's insane, like roars
Speaker 3: when he got to six. I'm just saying, when he
Speaker 3: got to sixty, you were there.
Speaker 2: They went nuts. The fans went nuts for sixty sixty sixty.
Speaker 2: The grandstand went nuts. It like erupted when he walked up.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: Then he goes to eight and he hits its drive
Speaker 3: and he's walking off the tee.
Speaker 2: He's pumping up the fans. He's playing, He's just he's
Speaker 2: playing into it. He's playing into it. You think it's
Speaker 2: bad that Roy didn't get in the final group. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I do. I he talked about last year he played
Speaker 2: from the second to last group and he was great.
Speaker 2: I mean that was a great and fine comfortable position is.
Speaker 3: I think like there's benefits and drawbacks to being in
Speaker 3: that final group because you can get so fixated on
Speaker 3: just Bryson that somebody else can nip you. Yeah, that
Speaker 3: being said, I mean I think there's is So this
Speaker 3: is like kind of one of my big takeaways from
Speaker 3: the day. I don't think Ludwig has ever been like
Speaker 3: bullied like just I mean, Bryson was twenty five past
Speaker 3: him all day, and I don't think that's like ever
Speaker 3: happened to him. Like you're talking about like a twenty
Speaker 3: four year old who has always probably been the longest player,
Speaker 3: like or if not the longest.
Speaker 2: He always knew I'm better than this guy.
Speaker 3: And Ludwig played with Bryson today, who's hitting a twenty
Speaker 3: five past him and who kicked his ass on the
Speaker 3: golf course.
Speaker 2: That's why I was kind of hoping for Rory Bryson
Speaker 2: because you know Fenal I watched Fena today, who you know,
Speaker 2: he keeps a lot in reserve. He allegedly swings at
Speaker 2: whatever seventy five percent has a ton of Rory was
Speaker 2: like fifty past him.
Speaker 3: I saw intent on the tech because I was watching
Speaker 3: the telecast while I was walking. Yeah, he was what
Speaker 3: fifty five passed him on ten on.
Speaker 2: Tent way past. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean two he
Speaker 2: was I want to say, maybe close to one hundred yards.
Speaker 2: He took a crazy line off too, not crazy, I
Speaker 2: mean he took it and executed it. And so I
Speaker 2: would say with for Rory and Deshambo, I think there's like,
Speaker 2: I think there's a great value in playing with somebody
Speaker 2: who can kind of match you, who can kind of
Speaker 2: I would say I watched it up close today with
Speaker 2: Rory and female. For a while I thought there was, like,
Speaker 2: there can be a better golfer in the world right
Speaker 2: now than you know. He was bawling and kind of
Speaker 2: came to undone. But like Rory and Fino are of
Speaker 2: similar distances even, you know, similar kind of speed, similar traits.
Speaker 2: On nine female hits like the shot of the shot
Speaker 2: of the day, Rory like goes over. It's like, all right,
Speaker 2: I need to hit that shot. You know. Females up
Speaker 2: by one sees what club you know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's I'm implying that he went over his bag. He
Speaker 2: didn't have a club yet takes the same club. Okay,
Speaker 2: I just saw what that did. Makes the same shot, Like,
Speaker 2: there's a value you know, and having the honor. But
Speaker 2: there's also a value in playing with a guy who's
Speaker 2: kind of in your stratosphere. And I think that would
Speaker 2: have been super fun to see Bryce and Ry. Nevertheless,
Speaker 2: we have a good or can't lay. You could say, I,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not disregarding can't lay. It does feel
Speaker 2: like we're the field. For a while, there was like
Speaker 2: everybody's at four or five. It was Aberg and Finale
Speaker 2: Hattan for a cup of coffee, and it kind of
Speaker 2: thinned a little bit there, and it feels like we're
Speaker 2: at Bryson can't Lay. Rory. I suppose you could say,
Speaker 2: paval you want to throw in Pavon contender, pretender, let's
Speaker 2: just do it right now. Contender pretender Matthew Paulvall. How
Speaker 2: could he not be a content now he's a pretender.
Speaker 2: If Pavon wins, Pioneers can't be an anchor site anymore.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, I I think the golf course is
Speaker 3: doing it. It's just it's amazing how there's nowhere to
Speaker 3: hide out there. Like if you if you're not driving
Speaker 3: the ball, well you're gonna have like a really long day,
Speaker 3: like one of the you're gonna visit. If you visit
Speaker 3: tough town, a lot a tough is gonna get you,
Speaker 3: and Pavone got got a tough He visited the you know,
Speaker 3: downtown tough Town left of thirteen. If you're if your
Speaker 3: iron plays off, you're gonna have a long day chipping.
Speaker 3: You're gonna put a ton of pressure on your short
Speaker 3: game and you're bound to find like a really bad
Speaker 3: spot that you just can't get up and down from
Speaker 3: if your short game's week Now, we saw Ludwig who
Speaker 3: basically mitigated his week short game all week long by
Speaker 3: hitting the ship out of the ball, hitting hitting great iron.
Speaker 2: Shots all week.
Speaker 3: Today that short game got absolutely exposed. Whether it was
Speaker 3: on thirteen, uh, it was also exposed on fifteen where
Speaker 3: he pulled putter like if you've seen like the putting methodology,
Speaker 3: I don't think it's worked great this week. The cimer
Speaker 3: Like what everybody was worried about going into the you know,
Speaker 3: is everybody just gonna be a putt that hasn't worked great.
Speaker 3: The guys that have had a lot of success, Bryson
Speaker 3: Rory can't lay Hideki, they've all been chipping. Ludwig's problem
Speaker 3: today was the short game that's what let him down.
Speaker 3: That's why he shot three over. Was between the mess
Speaker 3: on thirteen and then fifteen and bad bogie there, you know,
Speaker 3: and then putting. Like I think like Rory has been
Speaker 3: awesome with pace, he hasn't been awesome inside ten feet
Speaker 3: the last two days and that's the difference between being
Speaker 3: second and being first where Bryson is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been interesting. Fen out opted a putt off
Speaker 2: thirteen and that was sort of the end of his championship.
Speaker 2: He putted from I want to say, I think it
Speaker 2: was like thirty six yards off up through the green
Speaker 2: into the right bunker, bunker back down to where he was.
Speaker 2: Then I think he chipped on after Rory. Then you know,
Speaker 2: Rory watched that happen, chipped On made his par save.
Speaker 2: It was a great day, it was. It was a
Speaker 2: great day. I know, uh uh, it feels like it
Speaker 2: thinned out a little bit. But I think this is
Speaker 2: kind of a macho final four to six guys that
Speaker 2: you want. Uh Pavon can a pretender, though, I think
Speaker 2: I'm going to put him his pretend. I just like
Speaker 2: crazier things have happened, right, I mean, what if I
Speaker 2: told you we get him in a pair of Eco
Speaker 2: lt ones by tomorrow is tea time he would he
Speaker 2: transition to contender.
Speaker 3: I would, I would say the EVRS and you get
Speaker 3: a little bit of EVR spice and you know, zest
Speaker 3: for life and uh. And then I think if you
Speaker 3: get him in those EVR signatures shoes, I think, Uh,
Speaker 3: I think he'd have a chance because his feet will
Speaker 3: be comfortable. That's one of the things that Echo does.
Speaker 2: You know, durability comfort, you know you could slip slide
Speaker 2: out there. You've got the pine straw, You've got occasional tufts,
Speaker 2: you know, the tough soill grab you. These are these
Speaker 2: are These are solid base but also comfortable and durable.
Speaker 2: I like the l T one. It's a sneaker style
Speaker 2: modern design and the LT one features the lighter foam
Speaker 2: l y T l y t R lighter foam with
Speaker 2: advanced bounce and rebound material. Uh. It's a good shoe.
Speaker 2: I like the way it looks. It's soft, it's durable, waterproof,
Speaker 2: as usually wore it all through Ireland when we were
Speaker 2: over there. You go to US dot Echo dot com
Speaker 2: slash golf check out the l T one, buy some
Speaker 2: lt ones. They've really helped us get down here, support
Speaker 2: us all week here at the US Open. In the
Speaker 2: Echo house. We got an Echo chamber takeout today from Lemagna,
Speaker 2: who's calling out Liv's performance at the major championships. He
Speaker 2: didn't say, you know, it's just like to see more.
Speaker 2: It wasn't a hot take. He wasn't ranting and Raven.
Speaker 2: He just said, hey, we have they haven't had a
Speaker 2: good year. Let's see what happens. Bryson needs to carry him.
Speaker 2: And here we are with Bryson at seven under where
Speaker 2: do you wanna go next? Rory? Should we talk about
Speaker 2: Rory a little bit? I followed him. Uh. He seemed
Speaker 2: very happy with I don't know, proud of his score,
Speaker 2: which I think is it was a good score. I
Speaker 2: don't think it was it was his best game. Uh,
Speaker 2: he was positive, strokes gained approach just barely. I just
Speaker 2: thought he hit a fair amount of poor iron shots. Uh.
Speaker 2: But like, there's what he's doing so well is it's
Speaker 2: a US Open. You're not going to hit every putt.
Speaker 2: You're not going to hit every iron shot. And when
Speaker 2: that happens, does it become a seven? Does it become
Speaker 2: a five? What happens is just become a four do
Speaker 2: you save it? And you know, I thought he had
Speaker 2: to grind quite a bit. He hit poor iron shots
Speaker 2: on the last two part threes. He dropped two shots
Speaker 2: on those, but he hit a poor you know, hit
Speaker 2: a kind of a not great iron shot at at sixteen,
Speaker 2: got up and down from a bunker, hit not a
Speaker 2: great iron shot at five, and missed a birdie chance
Speaker 2: there at that part five, hit sort of a not
Speaker 2: his best bunker shot at ten, missed a birdie chance
Speaker 2: there at the other part five, and yet he shot
Speaker 2: one under six, so they weren't all bad shots. I
Speaker 2: feel like, I don't want to sound like I'm coming
Speaker 2: off too negative, but his iron play was didn't feel
Speaker 2: nearly as good as Tony Finale's watching it up close.
Speaker 2: Let me make sure of that on approach. Yeah, Tony
Speaker 2: final was a little bit better on strokes game, but
Speaker 2: he's driving it amazing. He's holding it together on the score,
Speaker 2: even though he dropped two like, I didn't think it
Speaker 2: was his a game or close to it, and he
Speaker 2: got one under yeah.
Speaker 3: I think, I mean anything under part of today was
Speaker 3: a good score. Brison played great like the reality. You know,
Speaker 3: I think if you look at at what Rory's put
Speaker 3: together this week. It's he played sensational on Thursday and
Speaker 3: he's played two you solid rounds of golf, which if
Speaker 3: you if you do that in the US Open, you're
Speaker 3: gonna be right in the mix. He's gonna have to
Speaker 3: play a great round of golf tomorrow. He he hasn't
Speaker 3: birdied a part five the last two days. He's gonna
Speaker 3: have to burdy both the part fives. These are tough
Speaker 3: part fives. I mean they're playing basically like even par average.
Speaker 3: With Rory's length, the fact that he can he's got
Speaker 3: an iron into five if he hits a good drive
Speaker 3: in the way he's driving it, and he's got he
Speaker 3: had an iron into into ten today. He's got to
Speaker 3: take advantage of the iron.
Speaker 2: I mean, Bludig just snuck it on, but it's not
Speaker 2: a nothing iron. But yeah, it's harding.
Speaker 3: He's got to take advantage of the par fives tomorrow.
Speaker 3: And I think, like overall, like this is you want
Speaker 3: to have a chance, and if a couple of things
Speaker 3: go different way, he's probably right there neck and neck
Speaker 3: with Bryson, But like, does he get everything out of
Speaker 3: the round tomorrow? Does being in the second or last group.
Speaker 3: Free him up a little bit, you know.
Speaker 2: Can't do anything. Does that maybe motivate him like I
Speaker 2: want to put this guy in a locker? I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think it matters. I don't
Speaker 2: think it necessarily they're going to be talking about distressed debt.
Speaker 2: Now you're talking about tools, or you should be like, hey,
Speaker 2: what's your favorite Dwalt tool? Just put him on the
Speaker 2: back foot, see what see what his knowledge is of
Speaker 2: the line, the full line of offering from I'm on
Speaker 2: the market for a new socket wrench.
Speaker 3: You got any recommendations, Let's spend your experience with the Dewault.
Speaker 2: You know, socket wrenches. Where do you land on Dwalt?
Speaker 2: How do you use it every day? Just get him
Speaker 2: on the back foot like that. I think that would
Speaker 2: put him on the fritz. I don't know. I think
Speaker 2: he's clearly playing pretty good golf and posting good rounds
Speaker 2: based on, you know, having to scramble on several occasions.
Speaker 2: He birdied nine, hit an awesome shot at fourteen, birdied
Speaker 2: that nine. Was kicking everybody's ass early.
Speaker 3: I gotta say the amazing thing about golf, I think
Speaker 3: watching these majors, and with so much of it on television,
Speaker 3: Like one of the best things to do is like
Speaker 3: Saturday morning, fire up the TV and you see how
Speaker 3: hard the holes are. Like I think what happens a
Speaker 3: lot of times is people don't think the course is hard,
Speaker 3: but it's because you're watching the guys that are playing
Speaker 3: the very, very best. If you watch in the morning
Speaker 3: on a weekend, you just see the guys who just
Speaker 3: like don't quite have it and the course just kicks
Speaker 3: their ass.
Speaker 2: That's a five. Yeah. One thing I know about nine
Speaker 2: is they have flags on top of a lot of
Speaker 2: the grand stands. They don't there a little cheeky playing.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't like they have them on
Speaker 2: most of them.
Speaker 3: From the practice round. Like the first one of the
Speaker 3: first shots I saw hit at Pinehurst was Martin Kimer
Speaker 3: on the ninth hole and he hit this iron that
Speaker 3: came up like twenty five yards short and I was
Speaker 3: like what yeah, And he dropped another one, took another
Speaker 3: club and it was it went up a club and
Speaker 3: was short again. Like that is a really it's a
Speaker 3: kind of like I it reminds me a little bit
Speaker 3: of Augusta National's twelfth where it's just like that hole
Speaker 3: sits back there. You got tall pines and it's super
Speaker 3: hard to judge where the wind is coming from.
Speaker 2: Not that these guys can't figure out the wind other ways,
Speaker 2: but up on the green, if they had some flags
Speaker 2: on the grandstand that's right next to it, it might help.
Speaker 2: And I noticed that's on like a lot of them.
Speaker 2: That's it was just interesting. Maybe it's just to jam them.
Speaker 2: And I think that the wind did mess with the
Speaker 2: early portion of the day. Can't Lay I did not
Speaker 2: watch any Patrick Cantlay. It sounded slow, sounded rough, sounded
Speaker 2: you know, long, But he's there. He gets in the
Speaker 2: house at four under contender or pretender for Patrick Cantlay.
Speaker 2: I think he's a pretender. I think it's Rory or Bryson.
Speaker 2: I just I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't It feels like, do you think Patrick Can'tley
Speaker 3: has a sixty eight tomorrow? Would be my question to you,
Speaker 3: is that what he needs? I think I think if
Speaker 3: you want to win this tournament, you have to get
Speaker 3: to six. I don't you know, like between Pavon, Rory
Speaker 3: and can't Lay, one of them is going.
Speaker 2: To shoot sixty eight. I think.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then Bryson would have to shoot one over.
Speaker 2: Yeah, two over. Do you think he's gonna do that?
Speaker 3: I think Bryson's probably gonna shoot even par or better better.
Speaker 3: So if he shoots, if he just shoots even Parr,
Speaker 3: does Patrick Can'tley have sixty seven in him?
Speaker 2: He had a double today, Bryson to kind of brains
Speaker 2: people bet. But it also felt like he missed a
Speaker 2: few birdie chances coming in that could you know seventeen
Speaker 2: I'm not suggested.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what he got like you give t
Speaker 3: You know, the native which is great here. I love
Speaker 3: the scrubby waste areas, the wiregrass. I think it's amazing.
Speaker 3: The times he hit in it. He got really good lies,
Speaker 3: and that's part of the part of the deal with him.
Speaker 3: He didn't get stonewalled with any of them, and he
Speaker 3: didn't hit every fair away. He drove it great. I mean,
Speaker 3: he's driving it amazing. But you know, the times that
Speaker 3: he got in a little bit of trouble, he had
Speaker 3: really good lies.
Speaker 2: That he could spin the ball out of. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So to me, if he if he gets in there
Speaker 3: a few times, like he's bound to get a bad
Speaker 3: break there. I thought sixteen was interesting. I you know,
Speaker 3: we talk we talked about lud Big and I think,
Speaker 3: like the thing that with the majors that always amazes me,
Speaker 3: And I say this, like, I feel like every major
Speaker 3: is that at some point in the tournament you're gonna
Speaker 3: be like your weakness is going to be pushed against.
Speaker 3: And like, I think the one thing Bryson struggles a
Speaker 3: little bit with his chipping, you know, and that reared
Speaker 3: his head on sixteen. He's been awesome this week around
Speaker 3: the Greens. He's hit a lot of really great bunker shots.
Speaker 2: But to me, is it.
Speaker 3: You know, what's it look like Tomorrow? Saturday is different
Speaker 3: than Sunday. You know, as our buddies Zinger would say,
Speaker 3: it's just a little more pressure.
Speaker 2: What is Bryson gonna have the WD with this hip injury.
Speaker 2: He's got physios working on him behind the fence. This
Speaker 2: is a big thing. He's talking about hip issues. I
Speaker 2: got a.
Speaker 3: Very interesting, unsubstantiated rumor that this is that he saw
Speaker 3: someone and this is all that they said, There's nothing
Speaker 3: wrong with you.
Speaker 2: Oh he saw a doctor. Sounds like me trying to
Speaker 2: get out of fifth grade football practice. And my dad
Speaker 2: was like, well, when I have the doctor next door
Speaker 2: check you out. There's nothing wrong with you, but who
Speaker 2: oh interesting drenched out. On the other there was a
Speaker 2: there was a blimp coverage of it or something I
Speaker 2: saw on my phone as I was running ahead. Looked
Speaker 2: amusing always something.
Speaker 3: But he's a get Yeah he's got. I mean he
Speaker 3: had to get stretched out anything like I. I like
Speaker 3: that he's on a pitch count tonight when he's on
Speaker 3: the range during his night range.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's hitting, and I apparently he has had one
Speaker 2: more good one. Nailed it and gave his team a
Speaker 2: hug and then walked off. Yep, nailed it and gave
Speaker 2: him a hug and walked off. Brice and continues to deliver.
Speaker 2: He's got the crowd. I don't know he he apparently
Speaker 2: was somebody in camp was upset with the coverage, so
Speaker 2: they were too critical on TV and didn't want him
Speaker 2: to do his interview with Damon Hack. What were they
Speaker 2: too criticals? I don't know. I lived.
Speaker 3: I heard that Brandle went like, oh really, Like they
Speaker 3: came back on sixteen and Brandle went on like a
Speaker 3: live tirade, Oh really apparently, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know what's what's the PJ. You want to
Speaker 2: come in? What happened their extraordinaire. We're not getting professional,
Speaker 2: We're just getting that's pretty much exactly what happened. Okay.
Speaker 3: I came out of break on sixteen on Saturday of
Speaker 3: the US, So we're like to give Brandon an open.
Speaker 2: Mic one PM. Yeah, Rory's on eighteen and they're doing
Speaker 2: Brandal Hates Live. Oh really? Yeah? Interesting. I mean, I
Speaker 2: think there's a time and a place for those opinions
Speaker 2: that I don't know that's anyways he Do.
Speaker 3: You think do you think Brandal called off Tommy Roy said, Tommy,
Speaker 3: I don't give me, give me the ball?
Speaker 2: I was it? Was it?
Speaker 3: Do you think that Tommy Roy called the play in
Speaker 3: the in the in the in the huddle and Brandal
Speaker 3: just waved him off and said I got this? Or
Speaker 3: do you think they were all on.
Speaker 2: Board with with the with the play call. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to speculate on the production of the broadcast.
Speaker 2: And I didn't see it and I didn't hear it.
Speaker 2: All I've heard is that, you know, Bryson almost was
Speaker 2: not that could do or someone in his camp didn't
Speaker 2: want him to do the interview. There's also allegedly someone
Speaker 2: in his camp that that uh, I was worried that
Speaker 2: a media member might have chinked, so come on. And
Speaker 2: then he made the double shortly after Jinks somehow showing
Speaker 2: up on too much detail here. But someone in his camp,
Speaker 2: someone who is in his camp.
Speaker 3: Media member was out there said something and Bryson's camp said,
Speaker 3: you're getting to jinx him. And then sure enough, minutes
Speaker 3: later he made a double.
Speaker 2: All right, well he'll be with Matthew Pavall.
Speaker 3: If you see what he did, you probably didn't see
Speaker 3: what he did. I'm thirteen with the crowd, he said,
Speaker 3: So that was not up up right, that it was
Speaker 3: up on three. I really want to go for this.
Speaker 3: Don't boom me. If I don't, I'm gonna hit just
Speaker 3: hit a seven iron, but don't boom me.
Speaker 2: So he hit a seven iron, He's just he's playing
Speaker 2: to the crowd.
Speaker 3: He's being a They hit a seven iron to the
Speaker 3: bunker's narrow a bunker and.
Speaker 2: Then hit it to like three feet or something. Right,
Speaker 2: this is what I'm saying, Like, well, we don't need
Speaker 2: to go in depth on the course, but like there's
Speaker 2: a sixty six today. I watched Rory get jammednukeball up
Speaker 2: eight right, but he got a kind of not a
Speaker 2: great lie. Went into the scrub. He hit a great
Speaker 2: shot at eighth. Great is not easy. He hits it
Speaker 2: to the table top and stops it within I don't know,
Speaker 2: ten to thirteen feet from the scrub up the hill
Speaker 2: to a tough pin like it is doable. Like there
Speaker 2: were there were rounds. There was an eighty three, there
Speaker 2: was an eighty one and two eighty one's you know,
Speaker 2: Smatt Fitz shot seventy nine, Supstraca shot seventy eight, had
Speaker 2: a good He's having a great year. Step has been
Speaker 2: hitting pretty well to you'd agreed tank. So that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff was out there.
Speaker 3: But I say, I guess say some of the some
Speaker 3: of the porta potties on the course, they're getting they're
Speaker 3: getting gnarly.
Speaker 2: Why are you investigating that?
Speaker 3: I just was standing I could smell I can smell
Speaker 3: them just standing twenty five feet away.
Speaker 2: It was hot.
Speaker 3: You know, it's about a long week hot. It's not
Speaker 3: a good combination.
Speaker 2: You want you want to hear a disastrous that substantiated
Speaker 2: rumor about the media center. Have you heard this? Yes,
Speaker 2: I mean Apparently somebody just destroyed like had to be removed. Second,
Speaker 2: and I have no first th in knowledge of this.
Speaker 2: Apparently there was like an entire portion of the trailer
Speaker 2: DY had to be wheeled out taken away because somebody
Speaker 2: just destroyed it. This sounds bad in there. I heard
Speaker 2: that yesterday. Not a good scene. That's terrible. I can't
Speaker 2: be having that. Oh so your there's your sept Saturday
Speaker 2: septic take minute. I don't know what media members responsible

Speaker 2: to figure out who to call under to prepare the whole.
Speaker 2: I hadn't heard all these they're like four clive it

Speaker 2: it sounded bad? All right? Where were we? Anything else?
Speaker 2: You want to get out here? I don't know where
Speaker 2: to go from here. I got a random note. If
Speaker 2: you were an amateur or qualifier you made the US open,
Speaker 2: would you stick around missed the cut? Yeah? I would
Speaker 2: stick around. I would totally stick around. I saw young
Speaker 2: Maxwell Moldovan just having drinks up on the He looks
Speaker 2: like he's twelve too. It's amazing.

Speaker 3: old in the world because of how young he looks.
Speaker 2: It was just looked like he was having a blast.
Speaker 2: I don't know if just had an alcoholic drinks. He
Speaker 2: was turned pro. He was just hanging watching the US

Speaker 3: he was looking for a little camera time. Yeah, what
Speaker 3: Gordon Sergeant missed the cut? I h I saw. I
Speaker 3: saw Gordon Sergeant missus the cut. It's one forty five
Speaker 3: pm on Saturday. It's the dead of the heat, ted hot,
Speaker 3: so hot, in the middle of the day, and he's
Speaker 3: going for a range session.
Speaker 2: He went out for a range session at one pm.
Speaker 2: I heard you wanted to give him thirst Bucket of
Speaker 2: the week. I think Thirst of the afternoon. Maybe he's
Speaker 2: just an eighteen year old kid. I don't know, he's
Speaker 2: like twenty two now. Okay, so Thirst bucket eligible.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, who would go out for a range
Speaker 3: session and when it's ninety out, Yeah, unless you're trying
Speaker 3: to get some maritime with the leaders and going going
Speaker 3: to the range.
Speaker 2: Hn, Joseph Lebin, you have one more piece of odds
Speaker 2: and odds and ends news. You were out there on
Speaker 2: nine you saw an amusing exchange with our friend the
Speaker 2: Billy boy, the town crier, the button boy. Uh was
Speaker 2: he getting heckled? I think it sounds like there was
Speaker 2: some interstate college warfare.
Speaker 4: Billy Boy made a difficult bogie on the ninth hole,
Speaker 4: was not happy, a little bit of a backup on
Speaker 4: the tenth tee, and as he's standing there, some guy
Speaker 4: yells go Knowles. Billy gives no reaction, yells go Knowles
Speaker 4: a couple more times at him, and Billy goes, yeah,
Speaker 4: I heard you the first two fucking times. Then then
Speaker 4: Billy gets up hits a terrible t shot like way
Speaker 4: left and as on ten, and as he's walking off
Speaker 4: the tea box, the guy yells go Knowles at him
Speaker 4: again and Billy Billy kind of pipes back and then
Speaker 4: goes last. I checked Florida State lost in baseball yesterday
Speaker 4: and the guy yelled, like, you know what about football,
Speaker 4: and Billy said, it's not football season, so little good
Speaker 4: back and forth in the middle of his championship Saturday round.
Speaker 2: Billy popp him back, and that's why we brought Joseph
Speaker 2: here to get that kind of intrepid information. I love that.
Speaker 2: Just why why do you have? You know, I think
Speaker 2: golfers have a pretty good compared to other sports. But like,
Speaker 2: what are we doing? What are you trying to get? Like,
Speaker 2: just don't say it's been a good crowd. I would
Speaker 2: say otherwise even Saturday gets rowdy, but it's been a
Speaker 2: great kind of high high i Q crowd. But yeah,
Speaker 2: Nole's like, are you just trying to Well, I got
Speaker 2: another thing about the crowd. We've got a.
Speaker 3: Great give We've got a bunch of stuff to give away. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we got we got a pops hat. Well, this is
Speaker 3: what it's about, So the pop We've got a pops hat.
Speaker 3: We've got a flat four pops, We've got uh, we've got.
Speaker 2: Ornament, a towel, a great caddy towel type.
Speaker 3: We got all kinds of stuff. But the given hat,
Speaker 3: I mean, the Pop's hat was our prize.
Speaker 2: You got to be clear, you gotta subscribe to good
Speaker 2: Walk Coffee, giving it away to good Walk Coffee subscribers shotgun.
Speaker 3: A Friday and existing. You don't get a better chance
Speaker 3: if you're either one or the other. The pops hat was,
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, that's for Dad.
Speaker 2: It's right or pace of play police.
Speaker 3: So I was super confused today when I saw a
Speaker 3: twenty five year old Ish woman wearing the pink pops hat.
Speaker 2: Does it mean something else you thought you had? We
Speaker 2: had misidentified the market. Who the target demo was, Yes,
Speaker 2: Pop's hat, Yeah, twenty five year old. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe she just wasn't the pink I'm just guessing twenty
Speaker 2: five Was it the pink one? It was the pink
Speaker 2: Pop's hat. Maybe is she just like the pink flair
Speaker 2: and the way it popped. I was felt bad because
Speaker 2: I kept looking.
Speaker 3: I was trying to understand what was going on with
Speaker 3: the Pops hat.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe we've misidentified. Maybe it's not for
Speaker 2: sixty year old dad. It's a pink G four giant
Speaker 2: letter hat trucker. You don't think sixty year old pops
Speaker 2: for a loop. It was the most surprising thing I
Speaker 2: saw to day. Many other notes we got, we got
Speaker 2: contender pretending I got one other one. What I'm worried
Speaker 2: about how Rory applies sunscreen? This is a yeah. This
Speaker 2: has been a subject of some video and photography. I
Speaker 2: mean he just goes ham.
Speaker 3: He just sprays with reckless abandon in the face. I
Speaker 3: don't know how it dies and just going anybody can
Speaker 3: do that. Yeah, I'm terrified any time I try and spray.
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you do you spray just? I mean it
Speaker 2: is intense. I use the oars and alpstick. But the
Speaker 2: problem is with some of these sprays is you then
Speaker 2: rub it in and now we've defeated the point of
Speaker 2: having the spray, right, because like the spray is so
Speaker 2: your hands don't get goofy. And I appreciate Rory just
Speaker 2: going ham. I mean I think you know, he does
Speaker 2: not want for financials, Like you know, his financial situation
Speaker 2: is pretty intact. He doesn't need to worry about sunscreen budget.
Speaker 2: So he probably just goes ham, sprays all over and
Speaker 2: then keeps his hands dry and let let go and
Speaker 2: like god, and he goes on. But it is, Yeah,
Speaker 2: he loves the spray wide and far with the with
Speaker 2: the sunscreen application. I'd be worried about my eyes.
Speaker 3: Are I can't well if I can't hit my next
Speaker 3: shot because I'm blinded by sunscreen?
Speaker 2: Are we had only two contenders? Is there a third?
Speaker 2: What about you? What do you think? I think can't?
Speaker 2: Is probably a contender? All right, you give him a contender.
Speaker 2: I'm going pretender. I mean I think that's I think
Speaker 2: I shade more pretender. But we can't. We gotta have
Speaker 2: more than two what uh?
Speaker 3: I mean last year I think we had well, we
Speaker 3: had Scott. Did we have Scotty? We had Scotty?
Speaker 2: Yeah? We called Ricky a pretender even though it was leading.
Speaker 2: I know that. I think, well we might have that
Speaker 2: didn't work out? Uh? I think it is Bryson and Rory.
Speaker 2: Who's your pick? Do you think KITDECKI or Ludwig has
Speaker 2: a chance? So more cow is shot than we're onto
Speaker 2: the day of sixty six?
Speaker 3: Early I love the telecast was like if these guys
Speaker 3: can get it to Eve and they have a chance?
Speaker 2: What? Who said that? All morning long? The were saying that,
Speaker 2: even for the championship.
Speaker 3: Yeah, with the early guys, it's like, what what planet
Speaker 3: are you living on?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: Even if it was four even if there was, If
Speaker 3: it was four, how how would Colin Morikawa get out
Speaker 3: and shoot? What is he gonna shoot another sixty six
Speaker 3: and get to four?
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, no, I don't think. I don't think two
Speaker 2: has a change. It's interesting.
Speaker 3: We talked about the going forward or back, Like the five,
Speaker 3: it went back. Everybody went back except for Bryson.
Speaker 2: I think these were their hardest pins, not their heart.
Speaker 2: I think. I don't think they're gonna make it more challenging,
Speaker 2: is what I'll say. I think. And Roy spoke to this.
Speaker 2: He's that a lot of the holes were cut on
Speaker 2: like crowns. They were hard pins. I don't think it's
Speaker 2: going to be demonstrably harder tomorrow than it was today.
Speaker 2: And you could shoot sixty seven. Bryson shot sixty six
Speaker 2: in the morning. Do you think it could all of
Speaker 2: a sudden become crazy where the lead comes back to
Speaker 2: three or four. I don't think that's happening. And so, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think you gotta be at four.
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I think you got you gotta get
Speaker 3: to six if you want a chance.
Speaker 2: I met starting Yeah, four, the four and above.
Speaker 3: So I think there then you could talk yourself into
Speaker 3: Hidekian Ludwig.
Speaker 2: If you think six has a shot shooting, they're gonna
Speaker 2: shoot what sixty.
Speaker 3: Sixty six to get to six? Okay, I don't know
Speaker 3: if sixty five is available.
Speaker 2: Yeah, seems tough. You really gotta be going it. Just
Speaker 2: the problem is like you just.
Speaker 3: When you miss the green, it just is so hard
Speaker 3: and you're bound to miss a few green going.
Speaker 2: It's a US Open Sunday, You're going to Valhalla. If
Speaker 2: you're going to miss a green beat up this week.
Speaker 3: Just retrospect the juxtaposition of Firm Augusta, Valhalla and this,
Speaker 3: it's just like it almost is aging worse.
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna talk more about Sunday about Pinehurst and
Speaker 2: where you feel it is now as an anchor site affirmation.
Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that tomorrow. Any other notes you
Speaker 2: want onload? Who's your pick? Eighteen holes to go? And
Speaker 2: I think, Bryson, what do you think I'm gonna? I
Speaker 2: picked Rory on Wednesday or Tuesday night? Why would I
Speaker 2: jump off the band way? I walked eighteen holes today.
Speaker 2: You got the late you got the last group assignment.
Speaker 2: I went up there with Rory and FIAW. You know
Speaker 2: I don't think he played his best, but he still
Speaker 2: scratched it in. I think he should be happy with that,
Speaker 2: and I think he knows what he wants to do.
Speaker 2: He'll be one group ahead of Bryson. I think he
Speaker 2: said he liked that. He'll put the pressure on here
Speaker 2: he could, you know, might not be the worst thing
Speaker 2: being ahead of him. And I'm gonna stick with Rory,
Speaker 2: picked him ahead of the ahead of the week, and
Speaker 2: I'll ride it for eighteen more holes. I'm not picking
Speaker 2: Matt Devavon. So you got Bryson, I got Rory. Doesn't
Speaker 2: feel like a whole lot of other options. I just
Speaker 2: don't see Patrick Cantley shooting in the you know, sick
Speaker 2: sties mid sixties tomorrow, So I think that does it.
Speaker 2: Any other notes? Good? All right, thank you for tuning in.
Speaker 2: That's We'll see you all on Sunday night Monday morning
Speaker 2: for US Open recap. Check out Echo Golf Shoes and
Speaker 2: one more to go from the Echo Echo House at Pinehurst.
