WEBVTT - Fire Drill 007: Masters Recap 0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:07.040 Walking up the third t I didn't think Scotty could 0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:09.200 win the Masters. It just didn't feel like that. It 0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:11.400 just like felt like Cam was on it and I've 0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:13.399 never seen anyone down there on the third and then 0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:16.799 Um makes it chips and he flubs it really and 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:19.119 then makes an unbelievable shot. It's a really brave shot 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.279 that bumping it up that stope. It's really steep turn 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:23.079 to make that, and walking off the third groin, it 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:24.920 didn't feel like he could lose it, you know, like, 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:27.280 in about a two minute stretch, it went from like 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:30.280 this is really sad for Scotty to like, wow, he's 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:32.360 just gonna it. Just felt the energy and the whole 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:40.800 thing to me changed completely. Another log on the fire, 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:53.479 Nobody here is give the time. All right, Here we 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:58.560 are the final fire drill of the Masters, and what 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.600 a week it has been. Obviously, Alan, you wrote yesterday 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.520 that if Scotty Cheffer went out and shot seventy two 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.720 and one, a star would be born. You shoot seventy one, 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:12.200 even with a four point on eighteen, and thus you know, 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:18.760 wins the Masters, his fourth fourth win in six starts. Truly, 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:22.600 it seems to be obvious that a star is born. Yeah, 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.120 what an incredible performance. You know, all week long kind 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.000 of followed the speed Temple of two thousand fifteen. I mean, 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.160 just played it lights out for thirty six holes, built 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.400 a big lead, fought like hell on Saturday was really 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.040 tough day, and then just you know, met the moment 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.319 on Sunday. I mean, so many incredible up and downs. 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.120 Obviously the one on three will will join the the 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:47.400 pantheon of Master's highlights forever. But I mean he was 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:49.680 incredible with his wedge. I actually called Ben Crenshaw in 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.720 the middle of the round and he was just raving 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.360 about do you see all these shots? He's hitting high ones, 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.800 low one, spinning ones. You know, he was. He was 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.040 really into it, and but of course you knew he 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:00.960 also he drove it really well when he had to, 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.400 and I got a little tense there. You when Rory 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.560 hold out on eighteen, there was just a sense like, 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.680 oh boy, let's let's see how how Scott. You know, 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.680 he'd already slayed camp Smith, and then it's like, how 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.839 is he going to react to this one? And then 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.400 you know, I almost knocked the Flaxi down fourteen and 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.600 really bold second shot on the fifteen, and those birdies 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.040 just kind of iced it. So you know, he's a 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.440 player with no weaknesses, like that's what makes him so dangerous. 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.200 And that was really on display of just a great 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.720 all around performance and you know it pretty I don't 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.079 know if you guys watched the press conference, he killed 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.280 in there. He's just such a likable, humble, kind of 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.239 sweet kids so I think, Yeah, I think the golfing 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.800 public is cana fall in love with him. Jeff, what 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.280 are your what are your thoughts on what you saw 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.480 this week? Yeah? I mean, no one really was. He 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.720 was number one in the world, he's the most hot 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.960 flyer and golf oh year. Really and no one really 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.280 picked him today. Everyone was picking every somebody else. No 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.639 one really believed he could keep doing it. But when 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.079 you watch what we saw the last four days, it's 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.639 kind of why I didn't wait. How obvious was it really? 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:00.600 I mean, the two form plans the year Cam and 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.119 Scott in the last group, it seems to happen a lot. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:07.720 We always ignore the form, but it's always it pops up. Um. Yeah, 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.239 and he looked really ropey those last three holes yesterday, 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.679 it looked with the last three holes Saturday, and then 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.120 the first two or three, the way it was going through, 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.239 walking up the third t, I didn't think Scotty could 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.400 win the Masters. It just didn't feel like that. It 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:25.400 just like felt like Cam was on it and Um, 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.560 Cam menaport tea shot, but it looked like he could 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.560 get away over it down there, and then Scotty, I've 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.480 never seen anyone down there on the third and then 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.760 Um makes it the chips and he flubs it really 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:36.920 and then makes an unbelievable shot. It's a really brave 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.160 shot that bumping it up that stope. It's really steep 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.080 to to make that, and walking off the third grain 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:42.720 and didn't feel like he could lose it, you know, 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.240 like in about a two minute stretch, it went from 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.360 like this is really sad for Scotty, like wow, he's 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.440 just gonna it. Just felt the energy and the whole 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:54.000 thing to me changed completely Um. And then after that 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:55.440 it was just he just put on a clinic. If 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:56.920 had to close out of time, it really didn't he 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:58.880 like if he missed a shot. He had a good 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.320 enough pitch and made a good Um. He had a 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.520 really good put on eleven. I thought was an incredible 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.640 part on top of Camp's Bertie Um and then twelve 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.960 sort of bit cam like it does. It's been a 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.360 lot of people before and he finished stuff. Well. Rory 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.200 was fun to watch. I mean it's become a bit 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.280 of a pattern and that it's sort of plays them 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.440 tough out of it and then comes home fast. And 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.120 he's always the best player in the field at the 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:21.680 end of the tournament, Rory, but he just does too 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.279 much damage at the start. But that was fun to watch, 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:27.840 fund to watch him play a team there. That was 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.080 kind of like if you if Rory finishing second of 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:32.760 the Master is never gonna make him happy unless he 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.960 finishes it like that. You know, he's walking out pretty boy, 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.000 that's a pretty fun way to finish second, you know. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.840 So um that might sort of, I don't know, get 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.480 him coming back next year a bit low, sort of 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.360 happier just because of the way it also have ended. 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.160 You know, he's gonna have some pretty good memories of this. 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:50.080 So it's not over for Rory yet there Colin Colin 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:54.080 can't help but finished top five in Majors um incredible player. Yeah, 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.680 great week, fantastic. I mean it's sort of for a 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.200 for a Masters that generally they're usually clothe us, but 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.040 for one that finishes with a where they could he 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:03.360 had a full part and he could still have had 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.640 three more parts of still one. Um, it was an 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.520 incredibly it was an interesting master to watch when it 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.280 was a great Sunday, even though it wasn't really ever close. Yeah, Ryan, 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:15.000 what what what's your sense of Scottie Scheffler? Yeah, I 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.880 mean obviously going to be a star. Uh. You know, 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.640 I think, uh they talked a little bit about it 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.120 on the broadcast, but I mean Ted Scott has obviously 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:27.040 brought the guys on. They seemed very very comfortable together. Um. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.560 I mean the guys alleged did a lot with Bubba obviously, 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.360 and I just I mean I was watching their interactions. 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.080 It seems like very loose and obviously they haven't been 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:41.360 together that long. So and obviously the results uh speak 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.880 for themselves. And to bring it back to Monday qualifiers, 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.520 which I always tried my best to do. Uh two 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:54.200 thousand eighteen, uh Utah Championship Corn Furry UM Champion Corn 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:58.799 Furry Tour. Uh wells Ela Torus and Scottie Scheffler bullshot 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:03.240 sixty six US by two, and uh you know I 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.720 couldn't get it done. The next week, Scotty Monday qualified 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.280 and then missed the cut at the corn Furry event. 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:13.400 But they've done pretty well since then. Two of the 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:17.320 UH two or whatever will finished like fifth or something 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.840 like that. So I always watch out for Monday. Is 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.400 always the best players are at Monday's event at some 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:26.600 point in their career. I should I should mention that. Obviously, 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.560 imagine Ella this, Alan Schipnuk let us off. Jeff Ogilvie 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.320 was second Ryan French of Monday q Info and host 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.839 of the Grind podcast is with Us as well, and 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:42.320 now Las Versias, host of Grassroots with Legettro Jenkins also 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.000 joins us. Last, what's your sense of what you saw 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.960 this week from Scotty Scheffler. I think back to Scotty's 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.360 dad when he became number one in the world, and 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.599 he hugged Scotty and said, as great as a golf 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.400 for you are, you're a better person. And the reason 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.080 I think about that is because I think every at 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.240 he watching, you know, he was like the best friend 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:03.760 that that you want to hang out with when you 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.000 go back home from college. He's just kind of that guy. 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.240 A friend of mine worked at Olympia Fields in just 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:14.520 outside of Chicago in when they had the Junior Ryder Cup, 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.680 and the first thing he told me about it was 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.560 the Scottie Scheffler kid is the nicest person on the 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.240 planet and he's one heck of a player. Keep an 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.320 eye out for him. So as a person, you gotta 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:31.920 love that. It was interesting to see that he was 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.200 always he answered the bell quite a bit, he put 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.480 the ball in some awkward positions off the first he 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:41.280 today was left. He had a really courageous punch and 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.040 that was a heck of an up and down and 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.520 you know, Cam goes Birdie Birdie Adam right out of 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:50.040 the gate. So I was impressed with his ability to 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.880 stay in the moment and and to have that composure. 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.680 And when you look back at people that when the masters, 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.000 very rarely do people make a double bogey, and when 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.600 the masters you it's a generous course in a lot 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.080 of ways that you've got to control your ball. And 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.000 you didn't see Scotty make one until the four part 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.880 on eighteen, So an amazing job of composure of just 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.640 kind of being yourself and being prepared to see him 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.880 on the range so late after each round, hitting balls 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.720 deep into the night. Um, you know, as I questioned it, like, 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.800 you know, you know my body couldn't handle that. But clearly, 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:27.960 you know he has a game plan. It's kind of 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.480 steeped and remaining positive being in the moment, and and 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.400 it delivered, and it's been delivering for one heck of 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.120 a hot month here, So real grateful to have him 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.959 in the game. Yeah, And in fairness, I mean he 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.640 did get the better end of the draw playing in 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.760 the last group on Friday after the wind laid down 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.960 for that for a big portion of that late afternoon, 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.160 which had to help. So he was he was putting 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.040 out last the last three days of the Masters, which 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.800 also led to late night you know, late evening rain sessions. 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:02.320 But Alan, what's what's your sense of Cam and and 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.360 his performance coming off a player's championship and and and 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.400 what he could till as his point, Scotty to be 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.600 one under through four or five holes there today, he 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.200 could have easily been four over, And I think that's 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.520 really ended up being the way he wanted, was salvaging 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.120 something early on and getting that chip in and turning. 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.200 But Cam kept coming at him and until twelve there 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.160 was still there was still very much a tournament going 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.600 on for sure, although I'm not sure Camp never totally 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.319 recover from the third hole. I mean it looked like, 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.640 you know, cam Smith has maybe the best short game 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.640 in Gulf, and he's thinking, all right, well, I'm gonna 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.040 get up and down. He's not. We're gonna be We're 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.440 gonna be tired, and instead he walked off, you know, 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:42.800 three behind. It was. It was such a gut punch 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.719 and he could never close the gap. He never got 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:49.559 closer than three strokes, and uh, you know it was 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:53.280 hard to watch because he out at twelve. He kind 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.199 of lost the plot a little bit. It was just 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.880 you know, tossing the club and his body language and 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.720 he just looked so be And that's what this course does. 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.040 I mean, you know, Jeff was talking about the energy 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.200 and the excitement of the finish and that's what the 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.160 Masters are known for. But there's a dark side of that. 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:10.840 There's a lot of broken hearts and a lot of 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.120 broken spirits, and that's part of what makes it so poignant. 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.240 You know that you think about you know, Phil Phil 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.880 Mikinson's spot to win, but that that image of Ernie's 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.559 sitting there, you know, eating the apple. He never really 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.800 recovered from that, it felt like, at least not at 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:28.280 this particular venue. And um, camp Smith is so talented. 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.000 He obviously he's played, he has. This is his fourth 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.360 top ten the last five Masters. I mean, it seems 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.199 Taylor made for him. But you know that something like 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.480 would happen to him at twelve leaves the bruise. I mean, 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.920 think about about speech and he hasn't be able to 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:43.599 get it done here since since he cracked up in 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.760 two thousand and sixteen. And it's just that was hard 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.920 to watch and I felt for him. I mean, I 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:50.640 think we all love camp Smith. He's a he's a 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.800 likable bloke and he's just fun to watch and all that. 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.920 But um, he you know, he's just the latest have 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:03.400 his heartbroken by a gust a national. What do you think, Jeff, 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:04.840 what do you what are your thoughts on Cam in 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:11.040 his future? Massive future? I mean, he's such a dedicated guy, 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.679 and he's sort of as serious as he looks in 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.720 those last feear out of those Majors, as good as 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:18.920 he looks, and is determined and sort of calm. He's 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.079 pretty loose and relaxed. Off the course. You know, he 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:22.959 doesn't take it all too seriously once he gets off 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.240 the course. He's a sort of guy who'll get over 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.120 this a little bit more than I think others. Um, 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.120 I mean, twelve gets if you play the Masters long enough, 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.079 twelve is going to get you. I mean, it doesn't 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.640 happen to thankfully, it doesn't happen to everyone on a Sunday, 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.160 but it's going to get you at some point. I 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:38.600 think you will learn from He's a sort of guy 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.760 who'll sort of shake that off and he'll be leaving 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:44.440 with He'll be leaving feeling like he can win the Masters, 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.120 almost more than he would have been any other one, 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.560 you know what I mean. He doubled the first on Thursday, 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.800 double the last on Thursday. He had a lot of 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.600 stuff go wrong. I mean, to Allen's point, the third 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.720 was just a massive It was the biggest momentum shift 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.640 I think I've ever seen in a seven year old tournament. 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:03.240 I've never seen anything like it ever. Um. It was 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.440 a match play, like you know, because it really kind 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.319 of was those two unless someone else did something crazy. Um, 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.480 and he he had an unbelievbal shot at four that 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:16.479 just missed by a couple of yards, you know, Um, 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:18.679 and did well and twelve got him and he did 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.600 look pretty rattled the next couple of holes. But I mean, 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.959 I haven't been in exactly that situation, but I think 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:25.840 anyone who's played long enough knows what he felt like. 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:27.720 And he wanted to be anywhere but the golf course 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.079 WoT down thirteen. I mean, all the air comes out 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:31.680 of your balloon. I mean he's been thinking about this 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.880 tournament for twelve months. Realistically, he's been grinding for it 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.880 since probably after the British Open last year. Every practice 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:39.439 session he's had for the last two or three months 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.640 has been about this, and so there there's a lot 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:42.960 of air in your balloon when you get here, and 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.200 when it all gets taken out in one hole, Um, 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.800 it's pretty hard to sort of keep very equilibrium for 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.240 a couple of holes. But but he fifteen sixty was 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.000 pretty like he could have just drifted off and finished 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:57.839 in an ambulance. But yeah, a strong, good guy. He 0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:59.680 walked off with a smile in his face, I think 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.559 a raw smile. But I think he'll be back. I mean, 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:03.880 we saw that about a lot of guys. I mean, 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.880 why would have thought Rory hasn't won one yet, but um, 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.080 Cam looks as good as anyone. I mean, he's going 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.000 to be in the discnversation that every year when we 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.599 come to this stuff anement. Well, let let me just 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.840 say something real quick about the seventh hole too, because 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.000 you know, as you know Jeff, that's that green's kind 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.000 of blind from the fairway. So both him and Scotty 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.040 hit great shots. The crowd went crazy and camp sing, right, 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:24.440 maybe I'll pick one up here, and you get up 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.120 to the green and Scotty's inside of him. He's like, 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:27.520 what do I have to do to shake this guy? 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.719 You know? That was that was a big moment um 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.840 and also for step player to play the first seven 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.320 and to wonder he knocked out almost everybody else who 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.160 had dreams of you know, maybe he'll come back and 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.760 so I'll go low like that start by Shuffler really 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:42.920 created so much daylight between him and the rest of 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.880 the field, so that that seventh hole I think, um, 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.160 it's a little overshadow about happened number three, But I 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.800 thought seven was was big too, because again Cam gave 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.760 him as best shot, and you know, Scotty's got a 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:57.160 tough chin. He just took it and gave it right back. Ryan, 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.600 what are your thoughts on Cam? Yeah, I'll take it 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.560 a little bit from a different angle. I think golf 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:06.199 needs characters and there's not enough of them. I mean, 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:10.760 Scotty's obviously super talented, but you know, he's very buttoned 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.439 down quiet, and Cam has like the mullet and the 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:20.320 mustache and you know, like it's very like open and 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.920 uh says what he wants an interview is kind of 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.760 rory like, and uh, I think I think, I mean, 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.800 he's obviously talented to get to be there forever and 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.320 it seems like, like Jeff and Allen said, it's only 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.200 a matter of time until he wins one. But I 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.160 just love the character side of him. I think golf 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:41.360 needs needs more. Uh. Jim Smith's for sure, and Uh, 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.200 I mean I just really like him, huge fan that 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:48.000 it's impossible not to like him, impossible. I think, you know, 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.720 he's I talked to Peter Bessie about this right like. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:54.720 There was an image that came up on the screen, 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.840 a little graphic that said Cam Smith would be the 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:01.000 second Australian to win the Masters. In a lot of ways, 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.560 he would kind of be the first. And I say 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.000 that because there's kind of this tall poppy syndrome that 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.960 we we kind of equate with Australian culture and where 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.920 someone like Norman that wants to be celebrated, that wants 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.400 to have, you know, all the adoration not necessarily well 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:21.560 received in Australia. And I'm sure Jeff's familiar with the 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:26.320 tall poppy syndrome I talk about. But two, think about 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:30.440 cam start. He had bookend double bogies the first round 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:35.200 and squeezed eight berties on the remaining sixteen holes. It's amazing. 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.360 And then today he comes out Bertie Birdie, just out 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:42.720 of the gate, just a fighter. And I really would 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.400 love to know the line that he went with on 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.960 number twelve. I think he hit nine iron and I'd 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.000 be stunned if he was more than ten feet left 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.360 of the flag in his mind when he when he 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.720 took the club back. But I love watching him play. 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.440 He's now tied for third and tied for second in 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:04.560 the Masters. His ball flight fits well there, his attitude 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:08.360 fits well there. His sense of drama and showing up 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:12.560 in these moments obviously works for him there. So I 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:14.480 think he's a guy that you know, we're gonna get 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.560 a lot of in the future and hopefully you know, 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:20.000 a green jacket Augusta Jeff, give you a chance to 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.680 respond to whatever poppy syndrome is or whatever Las is 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.480 talking about the figure we should probably go to the 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:32.520 Australian for the Australian inside. Wow. I mean it is 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:34.800 kind of true we bring out complete legends down a 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:36.280 little bit because we don't want to be get ahead 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:38.320 of themselves. Right, It's a natural thing and it's kind 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.360 of a bit unfortunate when it comes to like golf 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.720 stars and stuff, but I would agree. I mean, Scotty 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:46.160 was the first AZZI obviously and it was really amazing. 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.840 But Cam is the most Australian Australian golfer. You know. 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.960 He is all aussy. Every Australian can relate to whim. 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:54.560 We've all got friends like him. He's like the guy 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:56.800 you're meeting the pub, you know, and have a good 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.720 Emma beer and a good chat with. So um. Absolutely, 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:01.920 he's the most Australian and Australian to be out there 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:08.600 for sure. He's like Shane Lowry of Australians, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.840 the Irish of Irish. I have to ask Jeff something 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:15.520 because one of the things I do on Sundays I'll 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.040 go catch the early finishers and just get some thoughts 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.040 about the leaders, so I have more material. I'm looking 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.879 for anecdotes and quotes and stuff. And so I caught 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.200 Adam Scott by the clubhouse and we were talking about 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.240 Cam and he was great, and he said, he's, um, 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.639 a bogan Is that that right? Is that the right term? Yeah? Bog? 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:35.600 And yeah, bit of a bug and yeah, And I 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:37.320 was and I suppose that He's like, oh, you're gonna 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.520 have to look it up me. And after Cam drifted away, 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.040 I never googled that. Can you explain to us what 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.040 a bogan is? Because apparently it's like a big thing 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:48.800 with Really it's kind of it's a lovable sort of 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.000 term for red nicky, what trashy kind of you know, 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.200 like just really it's just but it's lovable, you know, 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.520 it's like in that really good spirit, you know, just 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:01.840 like loud cut, loud cut a crazy crazy haircuts. But 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.159 if you know a bugging, you know a bug And 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:09.159 I guess, yeah, okay, that's awesome. I'm gonna use that 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:14.280 another time. That's he's Camp. It's Cam, the cable guy 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.800 is basically what, yeah, a little bit, a little bittally 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:21.600 totally Um, all right, let's let's just quick whip around 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.000 on on Rory before we get to Tiger. But I 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:28.360 mean again, uh, seventy three, seventy one, boom sixty four, 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:32.600 back door second place Masters leaving with the smiless face. Jeff, 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.000 you've already kind of touched upon it. But Alan, what 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:39.600 are your thoughts on Rory? I mean Rory, he's well, 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.640 he's got the most frustrating golfer in history. Like he's 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.399 on an absolute heater. He can do no wrong. He 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:47.920 is destroying gust the national and all of a sudden 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.600 he creeps up enough where he might actually have a chance. 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:52.280 You know, everyone's doing the math. Okay, if you can, 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:55.400 if you can get three more coming in and kind 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:58.320 of course, you know, fifteen, which is not an easy hole, 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.359 but it's definitely an opportunity. One of the greatest drivers 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:03.440 of the golf ball ever yanked dead left, makes a 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:07.040 disappointing part. Go to sixteen, which we all know is attackable, 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.359 and it's kind of in a different shot. And that 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.080 was and then then at that moment, you know that. 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.520 That's when when Scotty kind of regrouped in sky Scheffler 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:19.000 and and step you know, Stephan Aboy's neck. But there 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.160 was a little brief moment where Rory had a chance 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:23.680 to make it really interesting and he knew it and 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:25.760 those are like his first bad swings of the day. 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.159 You know, he just kind of you know, he's free 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.560 wheeling and just chasing and having fun and almost I 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:32.040 was like, holy shit, have a chance, like I have 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.359 a chance to win the Masters. And then started at 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.760
