WEBVTT - Fire Drill 006: Cut Day at the Masters

0:00:03.320 --> 0:00:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Tiger teen nineteen. He's one over par and he has

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:12.840
<v Speaker 1>been better than through two rounds. Guys like Bubba Watson,

0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:19.439
<v Speaker 1>John Rong, Rory, Sergio Fleetwood, Hoveland, Adam Scott missing the cutter,

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Jordan's speed, Brooks kept Caxander Shafley, Bryson, d Shambo. I mean,

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>this is guy. These guys got to take a look

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>in the mirror and say, what is my issue? I

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>can't beat a guy who you know, was pulled from

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the wreckage fourteen months ago and might have lost his leg.

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Another log on the fire, what he hears is give

0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>the time. All right, here we are. It's already been

0:00:56.560 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>a long weekend. It's only Friday, Alan, it's another another

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>their opportunity to do a little fire drill. I know

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you've been out there all day. Unfortunately we're down Jeff

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Ogilvie today as he's traveling, but we hope to hope

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>to have him back at the end of the weekend

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:15.680
<v Speaker 1>for a recap um. And it's been great to act

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 1>obviously get his perspective. But what did you see out

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>there today? Well, it was it was quite an interesting day.

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>You know. It was incredibly gusty and windy, early in

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the afternoon, and there was forecast for widespread carnage, but

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>even the golf gods can get swept up in tiger

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Mania because and by the time he made the turn,

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>the wind just laid down, and that that really helped

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Tiger kind of mount a rally after a very tough,

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>you know start, and guys like Scottie Scheffler and Justin

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Thomas at Hedecki were playing the same time more or less,

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and they really took advantage of the calm conditions and

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 1>softer greens and and went pretty deep. So it was

0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of a tale of two days that the early

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>starters had had to a lot rougher. Um, there's a

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 1>little prelude to what's to come, you know. With tomorrow,

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be windy, it's gonna be significantly colder. Uh,

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>fairways are still soft. I mean, tomorrow could be one

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>of the most fun moving days in a long time,

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.080
<v Speaker 1>where there's a lot of guys can build and sells

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>out of tournament. Anyone who plays a good, strong round

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:20.799
<v Speaker 1>can could leave for ag a bunch of players. So

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 1>it was almost like an early moving day today and

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 1>it sets up for quite a unique one tomorrow. I

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>mean it it. Some guys literally took advantage of today

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.679
<v Speaker 1>as a moving day. As you mentioned the Lowry's, the

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>j T S obviously Scottie scheffler Um. Tiger was four

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>over through five and it looked like, okay, I mean

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:47.519
<v Speaker 1>this is that was really fun yesterday. It was incredible.

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>What a bonus that we had him. But it doesn't

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.079
<v Speaker 1>look like he'll be around for the weekend. And of course,

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Sir grind a lot, you know, kicks it in, figures

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>it out, and grinds it out. And he now continues

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>his his consecutive streak of twenties, two straight cuts, of

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 1>of of making the cut at Augusta National. Yeah, and

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 1>in its own way, this round was as as impressive

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>as his first round, even though he shot, you know,

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>three strokes higher. It's just the bounce back because you

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 1>could feel the deflation out there. I was out walking

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>in the crowd. It was just the nervous energy that

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the sense of despair like oh, you know, here we go,

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>like father time has caught up Tiger and the physical

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>and emotional fatigue, and you know he's gonna miss the cut,

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>He's not gonna break a d and it was like

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 1>really tangible. Um. And but we know the guy, whatever

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 1>is going on with his body or his life, he

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>will never quit on a golf course. Yes, so much

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>grind in him and you know, really beautiful up down

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>at eight and then a laser approach at ten for

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>a couple of much new Birdie's like, okay, here we go.

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 1>He's back and then he then all of a sudden

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 1>theen he bogies, you know, um, eleven and twelve like,

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>oh no, he's gonna miss the cutting again. And then um,

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>he gets the break of the tournament. You know that

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>that second shild in thirteen was the worst swing of

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the day. He's trying to reach the green. It's it's

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>so bad instead of it doesn't even get to raise

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>creek and expires short and um you know that. And

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>then he gets up and down for Bertie. That was

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>like a two shot swing. Um. You know again the

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>golf Cauys are smiling upon Tiger. Then he follows up

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>with another birdie at fourteen, and then pars In it

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 1>was just there's a roller coaster round and he could

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>feel it in the dogwoods, just the attension then the release,

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>than the fretting, than the joy and uh, you know,

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 1>just eighteen holes with Tigers. It's a journey right now.

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.919
<v Speaker 1>And but I did you know I could It seemed

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>like he had. I didn't. I didn't see any track

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>man stats. But he was definitely swinging the driver with

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 1>a little more aggression and a little more speed. And

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 1>he actually looked lighter on his feet to me out

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 1>there on the hills. UM, a little more confident is footing,

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 1>partly because it's probably slightly drier, But UM, you know,

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't pushed himself and I think maybe instead of

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 1>wearing down, maybe his legs are getting stronger as he

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>goes so because he made some really great swings coming

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>in UM and as opposed to yesterday, he looked the

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 1>maze of tired swings on the back nine. So even

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>though it was the seventy four, there was there was

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot to be impressed by and to build on.

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>UM And it feels like, you know, he kept himself

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>in the ball game. As he said, he's only four

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.720
<v Speaker 1>shots at a second place. You know, Scotti Scheffler keeps

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.719
<v Speaker 1>going and keep shooting rounds. In the sixth season, this

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:40.479
<v Speaker 1>thing is probably over. But if he comes back to

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the pack. You know, tigers right there waiting Tiger teen nineteen.

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 1>He's one over par and he has been better than

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:54.280
<v Speaker 1>through two rounds. Guys like Bubba Watson, John Rong, Rory,

0:05:54.560 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Sergio Fleetwood, Hovland, Adam Scott missing the cutter, Jordan's Brooks,

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 1>kept Caxander Shafley, Bryce and d Shambo. I mean, this

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>is guy. These guys gotta take a look in the

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.479
<v Speaker 1>mirror and say, what is my issue? I can't beat

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>a guy who you know was pulled from the wreckage

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>fourteen months ago and might have lost his leg. Well,

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>I talked to a lot of players and today and

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>my my story on fire Collectives dot com is really

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.280
<v Speaker 1>what makes Tiger Woods Tiger? Would you know? I asked

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of players of that question, and you know,

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Mark Eleesman had a great answer, said, it's just in

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 1>the head. It's just the way he's wired. It's just

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>his brain. You know, it's totally metaphysical, because I mean

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Tiger's got as a reconstructed knee and ankle surgically, uh,

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I blow out his achilles, blow at his knee.

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>He's got a few spinal cord, He's got a foot

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.479
<v Speaker 1>made out of metal. And as you say, he's still

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 1>beating all these world class players, and you know there's

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>part of that. A lot of guys you mentioned, maybe

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>all of them except for above, I haven't one of masters.

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.839
<v Speaker 1>And this course gets in your head. Whereas Tiger probably

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>feels more comfortable here than anywhere else, Like he knows

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 1>he can manage his way to a good round even

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>when he's not hitting it great like today. So um,

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>he has he has a comfort level here. But the

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 1>big different genera he's just Tiger fucking I mean, it's

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 1>that simple, Like he just knows how to play the

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 1>game of golf, and uh, he has a feel for scoring,

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>and he has a sense of the moments, and he

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 1>has the grind and the grit and and the self

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>belief and all these things you can't measure on a track. Man,

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 1>they're just off the charts, and he just continues to

0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 1>amaze and his ability to just get it done no

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 1>matter what's going on in his body. It's really remarkable.

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.040
<v Speaker 1>We should say that you are in the press room still,

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 1>which is why the audio is is a little overpart today,

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>So we apologize for that, but but also appreciate the

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>fact that you're still there, you know, filing your story

0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 1>uh and and finishing that up and uh and getting

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>this opportunity to get your perspective as you were, you know,

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>following the last groups coming in. Um, the the biggest

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 1>surprises for you of people who missed the cut in

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the Jordan's Speed Kepta, Xander Bryson, you know grouping. Yeah,

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 1>not Bryson. I mean, since he declared that Augusta National

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 1>is a part sixty seven for him, he's just getting

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 1>his teeth kicked in, like he may never make another

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>cut here, like in this place you talked about being

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:33.000
<v Speaker 1>in someone's head like this golf course. Wow. Um, you

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.840
<v Speaker 1>know I thought that, you know, keptco played really well

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>the match play, and he's been irelevant now for a while,

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:40.839
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like he's just waiting to break through.

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:45.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he made some runs at the Major last year, Um,

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 1>but he kind of went backwards, sort of damaged his

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.839
<v Speaker 1>brand as a guy who's like a closer and so um,

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was going to play a little more

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 1>fire in his eyes this week. It just didn't happen.

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, speech has been a little scratchy, but I

0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.320
<v Speaker 1>mean to double the thirty six hold of missed the

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>cut by one. That's just it's a brutal man. You

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:05.200
<v Speaker 1>feel for the guy, you know, I don't know if

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you saw he made a six on the twelfth hole

0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 1>and brought back a lot of battle memories for a

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.199
<v Speaker 1>lot of people watching it from that drop circle. So

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought I was wrong. I thought I was watching replaced.

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:19.719
<v Speaker 1>I was like, wait, wait, at least he's got Thank

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 1>god he's got a jacket, because he's another one where

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden he's just like a cat on

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:25.960
<v Speaker 1>a hot on a hot tin roof here. It just

0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 1>that he just looks jumping and so um. It's really

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 1>never surprised me when anyone misses the cut at the Masters,

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.679
<v Speaker 1>because these guys build it up. You know, it's now

0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.199
<v Speaker 1>nine months from the British Open to the Masters, and

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 1>it's incredible weight to get a major in and all

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the pageantry and pomp that comes with augusta National and

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>dude just psyched themselves out. And you know, obviously Rory's

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.320
<v Speaker 1>been dealing with that now for a decade. You know,

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you look at Justin Thomas, who played great today, like, oh,

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.959
<v Speaker 1>he's gotta win a green jacket some day. But Um,

0:09:58.000 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you know said about Johnny Miller and about Ernie l

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 1>about Greg Norman and Tom Wise Cooff and you going

0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.960
<v Speaker 1>down the list, Lee Trevino. I mean, many of the

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 1>best players in the world couldn't handle Augustin National for

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 1>whatever reason, and so the list just keeps growing every year.

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Scotty Scheffler is you know, ties the largest thirty six

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.320
<v Speaker 1>whole lead. It's been done five times. The last to

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.920
<v Speaker 1>do it was Jordan's beat Four out of the five

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 1>guys who had that thirty six whole five shot lead

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 1>went on to win. The only one who didn't was

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:36.319
<v Speaker 1>Harry Cooper in nineteen thirty six, who lost to Horton Smith.

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 1>By way, I'm sure everybody would know that. But but

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, to say this is over, which doesn't seem

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 1>like it makes any sense where at halftime and it's

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:48.079
<v Speaker 1>Augustin National. But Scotty Scheffler, the fact is is won

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 1>three out of the last five. He is the world

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:56.319
<v Speaker 1>number one right now and just seemingly unbeatable. Um, do

0:10:56.360 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>you think it's over? Well, I always say her a Cooper,

0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>not a not a closer, But yeah, I mean, for sure,

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.680
<v Speaker 1>would you take would you take Cheffler? Or the field

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.960
<v Speaker 1>right now, I think you'd take Scheffler as you say,

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:15.680
<v Speaker 1>he's been on an almighty tear and the turnency one

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>where big time fields and these people was a't backing

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 1>into the lists victories. I mean, so he knows in

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>his heart he can do it. Um, Tomorrow is just

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 1>absolutely crucial day for Scheffler because if he's missing the

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>center of the club pace, I mean, he could shoot

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 1>seventy nine easily and let the whole world back into

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 1>this tournament. If you shoot something about par I mean

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 1>that that's gonna be a great score tomorrow. So, um,

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 1>the conditions aren't right right for a lot of people

0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 1>to go low. Um, if one person does it, you

0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 1>know who's on the board, like maybe a Lowry or

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.440
<v Speaker 1>a Justin Thomas, and it can turn this at least

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 1>into a two person race on on Sunday, that would

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 1>that would change things. But the thing about Scheffler that's

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 1>so impressive is he's really a throwback. You know, he's

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>got that that foot action reminds me of Greg Norman.

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's not what you teach and he and

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>one knows he likes to shape the ball both ways.

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:07.600
<v Speaker 1>He plays funky little little shots and knockdowns and chips,

0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 1>little little long irons, and um so, I think he's

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:17.520
<v Speaker 1>well equipped for a windy, firm test, you know, more

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 1>than a lot of guys. And um so, if you

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.600
<v Speaker 1>can just shoot you know, seventy one or seventy two tomorrow,

0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>he's in great stape. But we've seen it many times,

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, whether it's Rory or other people, would you

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 1>you got to lead it Augusta National and it starts going,

0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 1>starts going sideways. You can start spending strokes really fast.

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.640
<v Speaker 1>But um they're just the thing I also like about

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Scheffler is he just looks like he's having fun out there,

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 1>which is an underrated quality because you watch Rory play

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.920
<v Speaker 1>at Augusta or you watch some of these other guys,

0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.720
<v Speaker 1>they look oppressed, they look tight, and they look stressed out,

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.520
<v Speaker 1>and that this golf course will do that. You're really fast,

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's so many there's so many make or

0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.040
<v Speaker 1>break swings. But I just love the energy that that

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.199
<v Speaker 1>Scheffler projects out there, and I think it's a really

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>underrated quality of these high leverage events. So, um I'm

0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.960
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to seeing. You know, there was a little

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 1>bit of chirping about him taking over world number one?

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh so quickly? You know, he and three wins nothing

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 1>to sneeze out, But those aren't the entirety of his

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.439
<v Speaker 1>of his body of work. It's like, all right, is

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.960
<v Speaker 1>this guy a true number one? And if he goes

0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 1>out here and grabs his jacket, um, then it's a

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>resounding answer to that question. So it's all it's been

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.960
<v Speaker 1>really impressive performance so far. The hard part is still

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 1>in front of him, but you know, so far, so good.

0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.440
<v Speaker 1>What's your sense of his relationship with Ted Scott? And

0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.720
<v Speaker 1>how much do you think a guy who has been

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:46.079
<v Speaker 1>in in that situation and and gotten it done twice

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.480
<v Speaker 1>with Bubba is going to be a fifteen club in

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 1>in Scotty's bag for the net for the weekend. Yeah yeah,

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean Ted Scott has been a great caddy for

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:02.400
<v Speaker 1>a long time and you just just to manage Bubba's quirks.

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 1>And it's like writing Bucking Bronco the way he plays

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the game and how high strung he is, and for

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 1>them to have so much success tells you that, you know,

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Ted Scott has extremely high emotional EQ. Right, like even

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>beyond pulling clubs and all that stuff. I don't think

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 1>really pulled the clubs for Bubba. That wasn't impossible. But

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the way Bubba plays a game, it's just he was

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>more of a sports psychologist and a caddy. And that's

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna be really important. Is as carefree as as Cheffler appears.

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's never been in this situation before, but

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Ted Scott hasn't. You know, Caddies can choke just like players,

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 1>And so to have a guy who's already want a

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 1>couple of masters, and again he's if you following on

0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 1>social media or whatever, you know that Ted Scott is

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 1>like a fun, goofy personality and I think that is

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 1>exactly what Scheffler needs just to be himself. You know,

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.200
<v Speaker 1>he put Steve Williams on his bag, you know, so

0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I this sort of grumpy, grinding personality, like that's contagious,

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>and I think that would inhibit who who Scheffler is.

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 1>But in Ted Scott's he's out of sidekick and um

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>and they just like to having fun out there and

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>speaking there on there and they speak the same language

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and they're always smiling and laughing, and that's that's great.

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 1>And you can ask for anything more than that in

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.440
<v Speaker 1>your caddy well as I always appreciate your time, Alan

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and uh and like to you and to everybody, to

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 1>all listeners and watchers and readers and viewers like this

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 1>is uh. The weekend is of the Masters is upon us.

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:28.880
<v Speaker 1>It's I get chills saying it. I can't wait to

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 1>see it. I've made it back home to ocean Side

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and playing in the goat Hill Masters tomorrow morning, where

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.040
<v Speaker 1>the low m and low gross will be getting green

0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.040
<v Speaker 1>jackets and we'll be eating pimento cheese sandwiches and ocean

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 1>side before I race home to my couch to watch

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the Leader's tee off Saturday's Torture. The last group is

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 1>in Bufti too fifty. I mean it's an endless wait.

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Could you imagine, like you've got to leave me wake

0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 1>up at six thirty in the morning. It's like, what

0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 1>do you do. You can read a whole book, you

0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.480
<v Speaker 1>can write a book. I mean, you can work out,

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 1>you can have three meals. Like it's just torture. So

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 1>that's part of the mental challenge. I hope for Scotti.

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Scheffler said he sleeps till eleven. But um, it's even

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.160
<v Speaker 1>as hard on the writers man like I can't wait

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.440
<v Speaker 1>to get here. So yeah, it's it's it's gonna be fun.

0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.760
<v Speaker 1>But you know, everyone knows that Sunday at Augusta is

0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:19.120
<v Speaker 1>so exciting, but this Saturday is gonna be something else

0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.160
<v Speaker 1>with the weather, so I think we're in for for

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:25.360
<v Speaker 1>quite a treat. All right, get some sleep, everybody. We

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 1>got a big weekend ahead of us. Talk soon. Put

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 1>another log on the fire. Nobody here is get the time.
