1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are you doing?

2
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: It is Monday afternoon, June ninth. We've had a busy day.

3
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: It started this morning with John Schneider, the general manager

4
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: of the Seahawks. We recorded an interview. We'll probably play

5
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: that next week. I went on with Colin for about

6
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 1: an hour and I was like, you know what, it's

7
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: the US Open. It is a sport I love to

8
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: gamble on and talk about. So I was like, you know,

9
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: let's do a Golo podcast here on Monday. We got

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: some football stuff coming up the next couple of days.

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,400

17
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,360

18
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,000

19
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: we separate the football and life mail bag at my

20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: normal Instagram. This is a golf mail bag. So if

56
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: the other day and my lips got burned off. You

57
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: got to apply. You got to unscreen on your lips

58
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: because it gets a little windy in Arizona, and that

59
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: sun about one hundred and two degrees. All of a sudden,

60
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: the next day you're peeling your lips off your mouth.

61
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: It's awful, But I want to start Sorry for that.

62
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: Those details. We'll start with the five biggest stories let's start.

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: Let's just dive into my five biggest stories for the

64
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: US Open in twenty twenty five, and we'll just start

65
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 1: at one to work our way down. I don't even

66
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: think it's close. The biggest story heading into this weekend

67
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: is Scottie Shuffler. He won the last Major a month ago.

68
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: He is easily the best player in the world. Every

69
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: event he plays recently, he doesn't just win, he destroys everybody.

70
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: And last year he was anointed rightfully. So you win

71
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: all those tournaments, you win a Major, you win sixty

72
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: five million dollars. Your caddie makes six seven million dollars.

73
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: Who I think he would have ranked. I forget the

74
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: exact numbers, like fortieth or forty fifth on the money

75
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: in a day and age when they are just giving

76
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: out a ton of cash. It was an incredible accomplishment.

77
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: And obviously people over the course of the last decade

78
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: plus have had Tiger like seasons. People get uncomfortable and

79
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: I find myself as well. When you compare someone to

80
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, Tom Brady Tiger Woods. Part of their greatness

81
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: is doing it over a long period of time. Right,

82
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: It's not like a musician, a one hit wonder. There

83
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: have been a lot of people that have had a

84
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: hit song. It's like, well, can you have multiple hit albums?

85
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: Can you have twenty number ones? Right? Like? Can you

86
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: start multiple businesses that work? And I just think Scotti

87
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: Scheffler is proving that, like he's in it to win it,

88
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: and that's cool. Like part of what's cool about watching

89
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: a great player is watch them through their journey and

90
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: sometimes in team sports, like over the last couple of years,

91
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: anyone that's watched nikolea Jokic play basketball is like I've

92
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: been watching in the NBA for thirty plus years. He's

93
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: got to be one of the ten twelve best players

94
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Is he gonna win a second NBA

95
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: championship in his career? I don't know. They've kind of

96
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: bungled some moves. Who knows who is you know they

97
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: hire Rick adelman Son, I have no clue. A lot

98
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: of stuff's out of your control. As you know, in

99
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,119
Speaker 1: team sports, you see those with quarterbacks all the time.

100
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: You know, Patrick Mahomes gets the benefit of being drafted

101
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: by Andy Reid and playing with the Chiefs who already

102
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: had Travis Kelcey and Tyreek Hill, and they signed Spagnola

103
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: to be the defensive coordinator. You know, Joe Burrow goes

104
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals right as an individual star. I don't know

105
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: much about the two guys that played in the Roland

106
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: Garros Final Center and Alcatraz, but clearly they're pretty elite players.

107
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: And as a tennis player, if you're a great player Agasy,

108
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: Pete Sampras, Djokovic, Nadal, whatever, you control a lot of

109
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: your own destiny. Golf's a little bit like that, Like

110
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: you definitely control a lot, but there's some randomness, right,

111
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: Like for whatever reason when Tiger woods, like is he

112
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: a great clutch putter, of course, but that ball went

113
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: in a lot more than it lipped out. You know,

114
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: we have seen over the course of as a golf fan,

115
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: how many guys. I mean, was it two years ago

116
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: Wyndham Clark had a chance to tie at the Players

117
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: Championship against Scotty and lips out. I mean, it was

118
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 1: just that never really happened to Tiger, and it hasn't

119
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: really happened to Scotty much lately either, And the bounces

120
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: have all gone is way, which you need. And listen,

121
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: he's a bright lights complete ass kicker and Ted Scott's

122
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: been banging this drum. And I respect the shit out

123
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: of anyone with this mindset because hopefully one day I'll,

124
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: like many of you, were all in the position to

125
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to go. This is how I handled

126
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: millions upon millions of dollars. What was unfazed or maybe like, yeah,

127
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: I got a little lazy. You know, it's a good

128
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: position to be in financially, but some guys like, yeah,

129
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: I kind of mail it in. They don't work as hard.

130
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: We'll get to Rory here in a second. And some

131
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: guys are like, I want more. I can't get enough.

132
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm addicted to this, And clearly Scotty from a competition standpoint,

133
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: is addicted to winning golf tournaments. And that's cool because

134
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: after you win sixty six million dollars, if you would

135
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: have told me he got a mailed in this year,

136
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: would have been kind of relatable. But he hasn't. He's

137
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: the heavy favorite I saw before I press record. It's

138
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: hard because gambling, you know, up until the last five

139
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: or six years, with the with the regulations by a

140
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: state basis changing and it becoming much easier for us,

141
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, lifetime gamblers to obviously dabble that it's hard

142
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: for me to be like I remember in two thousand

143
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: and seven when Tiger Woods, Like I wasn't gambling on

144
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: golf twenty years ago, but I saw a headline and

145
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: it might have been by DraftKings that Scotti Scheffler is

146
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: the lowest favorite, you know, meaning his odds are the

147
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: lowest at basically plus two eighty so under three to

148
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: one to win a major, which is insane. And it's

149
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: the lowest number since Tiger Woods in two thousand and nine.

150
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: So that's the type category in and listen, he's kind

151
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: of been hovering when he started kicking ass last year.

152
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: It went from like seven eight to one down to

153
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: five to one. Over this year, it's creeped, you know,

154
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: from three to four to one down under that number.

155
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: It's crazy, and let's face it, it doesn't feel that nuts

156
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: taking it. Here's the other thing I looked before we're

157
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: getting ready for this podcast, in the last since twenty

158
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: twenty two, so I guess in twenty one, so twenty one,

159
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, sixteen majors and then

160
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: the two majors this year. That is eighteen majors, he

161
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: has finished in the top ten in eleven of those,

162
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: and in three others he won. So in fourteen of

163
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: the eighteen majors he's either finished in the top ten

164
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: in basically eighty five percent of them and won three others.

165
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: Pretty nuts, And in five of those eleven top ten

166
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: since twenty one, he's finished in the top five. So

167
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: this guy, when you get it, it's crazy to me.

168
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: With tennis, and I listen, I dabbled a little as

169
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: a young kid, played a little in college just to

170
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: like get a sweat. I don't follow it anywhere even

171
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: closely like I do golf and definitely not football, But

172
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: having just been a sports fan for a long time,

173
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: it's to me it's always crazy that, like you get

174
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: to one of these Grand Slams, and whatever era you're in,

175
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: it's basically a lock that two or three of the

176
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: best players are going to be in the final four,

177
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: and usually the best two players or two of the

178
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: best three players are just going to be in the finals.

179
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: It's like a lock in golf, like Tiger had some

180
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: majors where he just didn't play well. To happen to Phil,

181
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: happened to any great player where it feels like right

182
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: now Scotty is much more like a tennis player where

183
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: it's like he's gonna be in the top five and

184
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: his odds reflect that. For example, Bryson d. Chambeau is

185
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: the defending champion. He's won two US Opens this decade.

186
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: Like he is an ass kicker in this tournament. It's

187
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: made for him because you can grow up the rough

188
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: ten feet. Well, he's the strongest motherfucker out there, so

189
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: you can put him in the rough and he's hitting

190
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: at the farthest it's going to be advantage Bryson. Yet

191
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: Scotty to finish to top five is minus one seventy

192
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: five and to put this into perspective, Bryson is plus

193
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: one sixty and he's second on the odds board. Just

194
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: shows you, like what a lock. And if there was

195
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: plus odds, everyone and their mother would gamble on it

196
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: that Scotty is to finish in the top five. Now,

197
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: he's not guaranteed to win. It's hard to win these majors,

198
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: but it feels like comes Sunday, he is going to

199
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: be in the last two or three groups with a

200
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: very very good chance to win. And that's that's pretty

201
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: crazy in this sport. I would say number two in

202
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: terms of stories would be Bryson and just what he's

203
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: become and when it comes to majors, you know he's

204
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: going to be a factor. I mean, hell, the two

205
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: Majors this year he's finished both in the top five. Now,

206
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: he didn't really have a chance to win either. On

207
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: Sunday the Masters after the first couple holes, he just

208
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: did not play well being paired with Rory and in

209
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: the tournament with Scotty on where they just play at

210
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: Quail Hollow. Clearly he just didn't have it. But like

211
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: he is constantly putting himself in the mix, and he's

212
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: been doing it for the last couple of years. He

213
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: like this tournament is just Taylor made for him. He

214
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: did a YouTube video shot by shot of one of

215
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: his practice rounds. He played in this tournament In twenty sixteen,

216
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: the year that Dustin Johnson won. He had another good

217
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: week at Live in DC. I think he finished top four.

218
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: Joaque Niven shot fifteen hunderd he shot thirteen under. So

219
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: he continues to play well coming into these tournaments. It

220
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: would not shock me at all if he won. Now,

221
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: one thing he said after Quayle Hollow was like, my

222
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: irons are off and I got something coming. Now are

223
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: we going to get the answer to what is coming?

224
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: Did he get new sticks? Did he get them worked on?

225
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure what the three d irons actually means.

226
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: Clearly he's a little quirky with his technology, but you know,

227
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: if he like from a driving standpoint, he's elite and

228
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: around the green, and these greens are supposed to roll

229
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: like concrete speeds, They're going to have the fastest greens

230
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: of any tournament you know during professional golf in twenty

231
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: twenty five. Well, Bryson's one of the best putters, So

232
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: around the greens, he's elite. Driving the ball, he's elite.

233
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: To me, the question is like, when you just give

234
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: him one hundred and eight yard shot a two hundred

235
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: yard shot, is he pulling those? Like his draws turned

236
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: into hooks pretty quick in the last couple of majors.

237
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,599
Speaker 1: If he has that ironed out, he's going to be

238
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: in pretty good shape. And I couldn't blame anyone for

239
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: taking him. I think I saw today he's eight eight

240
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: plus eight fifty or eight to one. His odds are

241
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: actually dropping. I think he's a he's an absolute lock

242
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: to take as a top five. Though the first two guys,

243
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,599
Speaker 1: we know we're getting like these guys are gonna be

244
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: in the mix. They're proving that every major. Now, winning

245
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: majors are hard. You gotta have some shit go right

246
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: for you. You obviously got to make some big putts

247
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: over the weekend. But I think when we get to

248
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: the third biggest story is Roy McElroy's pretty fascinating because

249
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: we've been talking about this the last couple of weeks.

250
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: Is like it looked like he was about to have

251
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: a historic season. He wins a pebble, then he wins

252
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: the players, and then he finally takes down the Masters,

253
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: and you're like, listen, take a couple of weeks off,

254
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: go get drunk with your family, hang out with your

255
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: you know, your kid, your buddies. Just enjoy life. But like, listen,

256
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a little rusty, but he'll come back

257
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: like he's gonna have a massive season. He's gonna win

258
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: five or six times, and he definitely could win one

259
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: of these other majors. And then the driver incident happens

260
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: last week in Canada. He didn't just miss the cut.

261
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: He beat four guys in a field of one hundred

262
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: and fifty five and of course that was pretty easy.

263
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: And driving the ball is a major problem, and he

264
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: alluded to that, like, I haven't since they took away

265
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: my driver. The new equipment of Taylor made just isn't

266
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: working for me. I started with a forty five inch driver.

267
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: I've worked down to a forty four inch driver. Listen,

268
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: we've all been there. You have a club that's not working.

269
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: It's actually a relatable thing to me. I'm not as

270
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: bothered by that, like people have weird struggles when they

271
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: change a club. Like some of you might have the

272
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: same sand wedge you've had in the bag for a decade.

273
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: You just like it. I'm like that with my wedges.

274
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: I've had the same lob wedge, gap wedge, and sand

275
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: wedge in my bag for five years. You know, pros

276
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: would be like, you've lost the grooves, Like, I don't care.

277
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm just comfortable with these wedges. I'm not a good

278
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: enough wedge player, and I don't want to just start

279
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: buying wedges like I'm good with them. It's why these

280
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: guys keep clubs in their back for a long period

281
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: of time when they're working and like, I'm not like

282
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: it happened to him. I do understand why he was pissed.

283
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: It felt like people start telling that they leaked that

284
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: his name and not Scotty's name. Like, honestly, I kind

285
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: of under stand where he was coming from when it

286
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: came to that situation. Now, I do think like the

287
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: way he pits the media like as the enemy is

288
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: kind of a little weird. But like all these players

289
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: live in La La Land. It's kind of the country

290
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: club nature of the sport that it's like, God, you

291
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: guys have it too good. You're too rich. You don't

292
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: even fucking realize how easy you have it relative to

293
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: some of these other athletes. But what I don't I

294
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: can't quite relate to is like I've grown up anyone

295
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: my age on starting with you know, from Tom Brady

296
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: to Peyton Manning to Tiger Woods to Kobe Bryant to

297
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan to even like Lebron and Steph now to

298
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: In terms of work ethic and drive to try to

299
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: win and practice, I mean, these guys are addicted. And

300
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: Rory had some comments that essentially said like it is

301
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: more difficult to be on the range for three or

302
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: four hours after winning the Masters, Like what am I

303
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: grinding to? I've worked for a decade plus to try

304
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: to achieve something. I finally achieve it, and now it's hard.

305
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm out there on the range, I'm like, what am

306
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: I doing this for? Which, in one respect, for most

307
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: human beings, like anyone listening to this that has a goal,

308
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: whether it's a goal to make amount of money, whether

309
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: it's a goal to get a job, whether it's a

310
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: goal to if you run a business to hit a

311
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: certain revenue goal, it's always healthy to have that and

312
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: you chase for it. Right. It's like, I have a

313
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: goal of trying to land five of these ten guys

314
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: on the podcast over the summer, and if you get

315
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: to like five of them, you feel accomplished, which is understandable,

316
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: and you can, I guess, exhale for a second. But

317
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: when it comes to pro athletes, when it comes to

318
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: the greats in business, it's like they're never satisfied. And

319
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: I think most people listening. If you've set up one

320
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: of those goals and you achieve it, you realize, like

321
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: I don't get that much satisfaction after achieving it, Like

322
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: you're just kind of onto the next task. I remember

323
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant made a big deal about this when he

324
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: gets to the Warriors and he finally wins a championship

325
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: and he feels like everything's gonna be healed and fixed

326
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: and everyone's gonna leave him alone. And it was the opposite.

327
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: It only got worse yet Rory's comments of like why

328
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: do I grind as much? It's like, Rory, this is

329
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: why people are kind of hard on you. You know, this

330
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: is why I think a lot of people not fraud

331
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: is way too strong of a way to describe it,

332
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: but just like kind of full of shit. And we

333
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: finally get behind you and watch you win the Masters,

334
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: like this guy's about to become a legend. And then

335
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: it's like he just admits he's not even practicing. He can't,

336
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: he's not working as hard. And it's one thing, like

337
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: a week or two after, it's like we've been a

338
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: couple of months now, right, like what are we doing?

339
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: Do you think Tiger Woods would ever speak like that?

340
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: Do you think those words would ever come out of

341
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's mouth? And you could argue it's unfair, like

342
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: you start using those guys, this is the highest level. Well,

343
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: Rory's one of the great talents of all time. This

344
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: is who I thought we were comparing him to. You know,

345
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: it's like Rory finally wins this, Like how many majors

346
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: could he win? Ten? It's like, I don't believe that anymore.

347
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: I actually think Scotty. If you said, hey, right now,

348
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: put five thousand dollars over the course of the next

349
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: decade or just at the end of their career, who

350
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: ends up with more majors? You'd have to bet on

351
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: Scotty because I have a hard time seeing Scotty. Ever, say,

352
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: you know won the PGA. Just went out to work

353
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: with my coach and you know, my team, and after

354
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: an hour, I was just like, what am I? Why

355
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: am I working so hard? Now you could argue Scotty

356
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: has less scar tissue and Rory had more baggage hanging

357
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: over him. I just thought those comments were like, yeah,

358
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: this is when someone tells you who they are, you

359
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: just have to believe them and listen. It's his prerogative.

360
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: He can do whatever he wants. But I think it's

361
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: hard to take him as seriously this week, and he

362
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: went from being the second, you know favorite for this

363
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,479
Speaker 1: tournament to now Bryson's pasted him and you get Rory

364
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: ten to one to win this tournament. To me, I

365
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: know a lot of people that I'm getting a lot

366
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: of texts like should we take this guy to miss

367
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: the cut? I'm like, I don't know if I do that,

368
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,479
Speaker 1: But it's not the craziest thing I've ever heard. If

369
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: he's not driving the ball well and he hasn't really

370
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: been practicing that hard, fuck, I don't know. Now, maybe

371
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: you get embarrassed in Canada. You come home for a

372
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: couple of days, and it's not like you know, you

373
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: fly in American airlines, you hop on the PGA, you

374
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: fly back, you grind for a couple of days. But

375
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: he just told us, like, this is the grind still

376
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: the same? Is that Saturday and Sunday looking the same.

377
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: That's what made Tiger so special is like his work ethic,

378
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: in his drive and his desire. I mean, part of

379
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: Rory's whole deal is like just about the majors. It's

380
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: just about the majors, and then the major came last

381
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: couple of majors and goes like you kind of mailed

382
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: it in. So I don't even know what to make

383
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: of him. You know, he's at the point now where

384
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: it's like you could tell me he's in the mix,

385
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: because I wouldn't just write him off. I mean, he's

386
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: obviously an all time great talent, but if you tell

387
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: me that he misses the cut, like kind of believable,

388
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: because I don't think this is a tournament. If you

389
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: show up and you're not dialed in this tournament, regardless

390
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: where it's at, will eat you alive. And you see

391
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: Scotty coming in a ton of momentum, you see Bryson

392
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: coming in a ton of momentum. You see John Rahm

393
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: coming in with momentum off the last last major. You

394
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: see all the you know, big names over the course

395
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: of their careers like DJ or Kopka or these guys

396
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: when they're playing really well come into the US Open

397
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: with a lot of positive momentum. It's kind of the

398
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: opposite with Wrory, which is crazy. Two months ago, whe

399
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: were like, could he win the Grand Slam? And now

400
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, I don't even give a fuck. It's like,

401
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: how did we do this? And I've defended him over

402
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: the course of the last couple of years when a

403
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: lot of people came at him. But that comment, man,

404
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: it's just that's not what we want out of our athletes.

405
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: Fair not. But I give them credit for being honest

406
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: about it. But man, don't love that. The NBA Finals

407
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: are here and there's your last chance to bet on

408
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: the NBA and till next season. And the DraftKings sportsbook

409
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: and official sports betting partner of the NBA is pulling

410
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: out all the stops to make it a finals. To remember,

411
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: one team will be crowded the champ and the other

412
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: will be lost to history. Who you got winning at all? Obviously?

413
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: Everyone's picking the Thunder not gonna lie. Don't hate dabbling

414
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: a little on the Pacers five to one to win

415
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: the series to the NBA Finals. They just destroy the

416
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: one seed. The Cavs work the Knicks. I think people

417
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: are sleeping on the Pacers a little bit. I get

418
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: the Thunder are good, but I think people are underrating

419
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: the Pacers. All season long, DraftKings has been the go

420
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: to spot for NBA player props and that doesn't stop now.

Speaker 1: college sports, no chance, college basketball all four ones now

460
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: with nil. College football looks just Ohio State, Oregon, Notre Dame, Georgia.

461
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: Like the Boise States, these schools, it doesn't feel like

462
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: they have a chance to ever get out of the

463
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: first round anymore. And I think when you look at

464
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: golf over the last couple of years, it's like, and listen,

465
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: maybe I'm being nostalgic about it. Maybe it's technology, maybe

466
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: it's just a short sample size, but I do feel like,

467
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: you know, when I grew up in the nineties, even

468
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: through the Tiger and Phil era, that there would be

469
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: random guys that would win golf tournaments, major golf tournaments.

470
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: And if you look over the course of the last

471
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: couple of years, it's a lot of Scotti's. There's a

472
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: lot of ROMs, it's a lot of Roryes, it's a

473
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: lot of Bryson's, It's Xander. It's just like the top

474
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: three or four players. Now. It doesn't mean other guys

475
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: can't be in the mix and you can't gamble on

476
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: them to top ten and top twenties. But if you

477
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: tell me that like Bryson or Scottie win this tournament,

478
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: we are basically just look at the list of guys

479
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: that have won it. I mean Wyndham Clark a couple

480
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: of years ago feels like a gigantic outlier. Right, and

481
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: I would even call him like the little engine that could.

482
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: But I mean the day and a of just random

483
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: guys winning it, I think it would start to feel

484
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: like the separation of the PGA Tour. Now with these

485
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: signature events, some of these guys going to live. I

486
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: do wonder if the day and age is kind of

487
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: dead now. I think the British Open can always bring

488
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: them alive because of the weather, because of the elements,

489
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: because of the style of golf. But when it comes

490
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: to Augusta, when it comes to the PGA Championship, and

491
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: obviously the US Open, I think we're gonna be hard

492
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: pressed to see these guys like seventy eighty, one hundred

493
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: to one winning those three tournaments. And until otherwise, I

494
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: think it's an auto stayaway. I am not into betting

495
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: long shots at all in these majors anymore, and I'm

496
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: not gonna touch it. I mean as crazy as I'll get,

497
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: and we'll get into that here in a minute. But

498
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: I used to do a lot of that. Take guys

499
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: fifty sixty seventy to one, because you can just throw

500
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: like fifty bucks to win like three thousand. I honestly

501
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: believe that's just a waste of money. Now you're better

502
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: off putting a little more and taking those guys to

503
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: top ten, top twenty, and last but not least. I

504
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: think the coolest part about the US Open it was

505
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: the first I haven't been to that many pro golf

506
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: tournaments over the years, but it was the first golf

507
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: tournament I ever went to. Nineteen ninety eight at the

508
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: Olympic Club with my dad, his buddy Jerry, and my

509
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: buddy Travis, and I think we would have been ninety eight,

510
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: so we would have been like thirteen, fourteen years old,

511
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: no cell phones. We just get there, we go, Hey,

512
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: meet you back. You know. It's we get there at

513
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: maybe nine am. We'll meet you at four o'clock in

514
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: the afternoon at the exit. You know. I don't even

515
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: know how, but clearly we managed. We just meet him

516
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: when we head home. And I remember watching John daily.

517
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: I remember it was the year Lee Janssen won and

518
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: actually Payne Stewart had a good chance to win. I

519
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: think we went on a Saturday, maybe it was Friday.

520
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: In the way that Olympic Club, they've redone the club.

521
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's exactly the same, but it

522
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: used to have this runoff on eighteen and these guys

523
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: would hit second shots and it would run all the

524
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: way down the hill and Payne Stewart would go on.

525
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: He lost that one, but he'd go on to win

526
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: it in ninety nine against Philip Pinehurst, and I just

527
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: remember thinking like, this is so hard. The roff was

528
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: so long, it was so difficult. And I remember going

529
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: to Pebble in twenty nineteen, the year Gary Woodland won it.

530
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: One thing with the US Open is it feels like

531
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: as a player, you're going up against like the eighty

532
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: five Bears, going up against the two thousand Ravens, You're

533
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: going up against the two thousand and one Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

534
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: You're just going up against the best defense. The rough's long,

535
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: the fairways are tight, the greens are like concrete. It

536
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: is just a mother and if your game is slightly off,

537
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: you are going to get wrecked. I mean, I saw

538
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: I think Ben Griffin say that if you told him

539
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 1: right now that he could sign up for Sunday to

540
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: be in all seventy two holes and B plus four,

541
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: he would one hundred percent take that. I think a

542
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: lot of people follow the sport that have been to Oakmont.

543
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: Some of the YouTubers that have played it, and not

544
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: like Bob like I'm talking like the Brian Brows. The

545
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,959
Speaker 1: guys that know can relate it. Were like Obra par

546
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: could win this tournament, which I think sometimes gets thrown around.

547
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: I love it when it's this tournament. I root for

548
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: carnage in the US Open. Nothing can be crazy enough

549
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: in this tournament. I want guys snapping clubs like Phil

550
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: when he hit it by the whole was at Shinnacock.

551
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: I forget where they were playing, and before the ball

552
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: even stops rolling he hits it. He's just so mad.

553
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: You just you root for craziness in this tournament in

554
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: terms of the difficulty, like most tournaments, like part of

555
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: what makes the Masters fun is knowing you can watch

556
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: guys Birti ten, Bertie thirteen, Bertie fifteen, Bertie seventeen, Bertie

557
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: eighteen like fireworks down the stretch. Part of what makes

558
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: the US Open fun is like that was an incredible part.

559
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: Like this guy's got three straight pars coming down the stretch.

560
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: This could be the reason he wins the tournament. And

561
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: it's the only time, in my opinion, that that's cool

562
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: with watching on golf, Like a lot of these people

563
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: that cover and follow golf get really bothered by the

564
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: PGA Championship, Like I don't really care. It's it's the

565
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: fourth major, and honestly, if it's a birdy fan, it

566
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me as much. Honestly, it doesn't. It's hard.

567
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: There are only so many venues you can go to.

568
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: Well when it comes to the US Open, and Oakmont

569
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: is I would say universally considered top two or three

570
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: hardest course in America, and most will consider the hardest

571
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: course in America. It is I mean watching some of

572
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: these videos, obviously the rough the speed of the greens,

573
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: this is the overall difficulty of the course, which I

574
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: never understand because, like I've watched some videos, it's a

575
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: private course, like beside this tournament at this venue once

576
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: every seven to nine years. It is just a course

577
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: that has a bunch of members, which I would imagine

578
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: pretty exclusive course. But like most of these members at

579
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: this course aren't like Ernie Els right, I would say

580
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: the average membership same thing I remember going to Olympic,

581
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: Like most members are double digit handicap. Why would you

582
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: want to play a course this difficult? But they all

583
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: like it and they enjoy it. Hell, at the Olympic Club,

584
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: the membership makes such a big deal it's too hard.

585
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,239
Speaker 1: They had to redo the course because like, this is

586
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: not even fun to play. So for whatever reason, the

587
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: membership at this course, they just they eat up the

588
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: difficulty of it like it's hard for them, and obviously

589
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: they ramp it up for this week. It's been raining,

590
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: so that can chill out the course a little bit

591
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: because it softens it up. But the course is always

592
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: such an incredible story any US Open, but specifically this one,

593
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: which I mean it just doesn't get any more difficult,

594
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: which usually weeds up the field. But back to the

595
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: Cinderella thing, there can be a guy or two in

596
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: this type environment where it's like you're hitting fairways, your

597
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: two Putton Grangers making a lot of pars. All of

598
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: a sudden you're like tied for fourth. You're like, who's

599
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: this guy? This is because you've played boring golf and

600
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: there are gonna be some big ass names like Speeth

601
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: can't lay Justin Thomas, Like a bunch of dudes on

602
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: our Ryder Cup are one hundred percent not making the cut.

603
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: They are going to get fucking ejected, which is awesome.

604
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: You just hope you don't have any exposure to him.

605
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: It's why my gambling strategy this week is pretty simple.

606
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Scotty Scheffer to win because I think

607
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: at this point in time, if you just took Scotti

608
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: Scheffler to win over the last couple of months, you

609
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: would be up a lot of money. I do think

610
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: Bryson d Chambeau in these majors he's an If you're

611
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: getting him at plus odds, which I think I looked

612
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: earlier he is. He's plus one sixty auto top five.

613
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: I think Bryson d Schambeau, you could argue take a

614
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: little dabble to win auto top five. I don't know

615
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: if he's gonna win just because he's been off on

616
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: the weekend these last couple of majors, but he's just

617
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: in the mix. And if you tell me he has

618
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: the lead after Friday, like I think it's very very believable,

619
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ride. I don't know if this is smart

620
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: or not, but I'm gonna take Bryson to or excuse me,

621
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: John Rahm to top ten in this tournament. And maybe

622
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm just getting a little too excited based on the

623
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,239
Speaker 1: major last time. But this is a guy who's won

624
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: a US opened for like Bryson, likes Scotty, like Rory,

625
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: he's a bright lights guy. The harder the course advantage him.

626
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: I would expect John Rahm to be a factor, and

627
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm not really messing around. The only

628
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: long shot I might do would be like Cameron Young

629
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: to top twenty, maybe to top ten, because he's like

630
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: nine to one. He's a guy that just played really

631
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: well last week, even though in Canada, has nothing in

632
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: common with Oakmont. To me, it's just the odds. This

633
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: is the guy that's in theory, a blue chipper who's

634
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: been playing bad, kind of getting his mojo back. And

635
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: Tommy Fleetwood to top ten. But my heavy, heavy exposure,

636
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: and I would say ninety percent of my bankroll, which

637
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:07,479
Speaker 1: will probably be four figures spread around, will be on Scotti, Scheffler, Bryson,

638
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: d Chambeau and John Rohm. I'd been the last several

639
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: majors on Rory. To me, he's just a stay away

640
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,719
Speaker 1: because I won't hate if you want to take him

641
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: to miss the cut. I'm also not really in the

642
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: business of taking top players to miss the cut. I

643
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: think you get burned more often than not. But I

644
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: do think one thing when you look back last week

645
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: at the Live tournament, there was a tweet from Phil.

646
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: They got a big rain delay on Sunday, and Phil

647
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: tweeted out that he had I think like a ten

648
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: foot putt to Tye for the lead. And he also

649
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: mentioned in his press conference at the beginning of the

650
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: week that more than likely this is going to be

651
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: his last US Open of his career. And when you

652
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: think of Phil, obviously I would say, first thing you

653
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: think about Phil is just Tiger's rival, fair or not,

654
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: Like he was just synonymous with Tiger Woods. Throughout his career,

655
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: won a bunch of majors, won the Masters three times,

656
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: won a major at what fifty years old at Kiowa,

657
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: but like this tournament eluded him. And I went on

658
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: with Colin and we talked about where Phil ranks, and like,

659
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: I think he's definitely a top six or seven golfer

660
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: of all time. And I compared him to Peyton Manning,

661
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: Like if Tom Brady doesn't exist, Peyton Manning probably has

662
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: four Super Bowls. And we talk about Peyton Manning probably

663
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: synonymously with Joe Montana or definitely up in that ill,

664
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: but instead Peyton probably hovers closer to like four to

665
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: six range instead of like top two or three range.

666
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: And I think Phil could have if Tiger Woods is

667
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: never born. Are we looking at a guy instead of

668
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: six majors? Phil has ten and career Grand Slam in

669
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: his career just goes a little different way. I think

670
00:34:54,000 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: potentially we do. And listen, I don't know, one week

671
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: to another, when you're an older player, it doesn't necessarily

672
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: carry over. I liked him a lot a month ago

673
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: when they were at Kuaile Hollow and he was terrible.

674
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: So older guy, you just you know, playing back to

675
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: back weeks is intense on your body. There's a lot

676
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: huge advantage, you know. Scotty Scheffer's twenty eight years old,

677
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,959
Speaker 1: Bryson d. Chambo is thirty one years old, and Phil

678
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: is fifty five years old. Like it's it's a different

679
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: wear and tear in his body. He's been playing in

680
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: these tournaments for three plus decades. But I do think

681
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: the Phil story of like, I mean, he's one of

682
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: the most definitely important golfers of my lifetime. But I

683
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 1: would say he's one of the biggest athletes of my lifetime.

684
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: So if this is last US Open, a tournament that

685
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 1: he just could never win, it wasn't like he wasn't

686
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: in the mix. I mean he finished second six times.

687
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: I mean I would say two of them are more

688
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: of the historic moments in the last thirty years, non Tiger.

689
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean losing the pain Stewart in nineteen ninety nine

690
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: when he's about to have his baby and Payne grabs

691
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: his head and kind of just says, like you're gonna

692
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: be a great champion. Go enjoy your daughter, and that

693
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: moment is just is entrenched. Last year at Pinehurst we

694
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 1: talked a lot about it and then obviously pumping it

695
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: out of bounds at Wingfoot. I think in two thousand

696
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: and six or seven or eight, I forget the exact year,

697
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: but where it felt like he was finally gonna win

698
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: the tournament. And I think one thing with Phil, you know,

699
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: and Tiger had this a little bit too. That's why

700
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: Tiger would hit the stinger, you know, and back then

701
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: the courses weren't as long now, so you get away

702
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: with hitting it two hundred and forty five yards off

703
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: the tee with a two iron is Phil's ripping driver,

704
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: and he wasn't the straightest guy, and he would hit

705
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: it all over the map and then the US opened

706
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: like you hit it in the deep rough. Now, I

707
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: did see someone forwarded me and I saw a bunch

708
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: of the tournament. They just played in DC like they

709
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 1: grew at the rough pretty good. And you can't convince

710
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: me that they weren't trying to help their guys. I mean,

711
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 1: they got a lot of guys playing in this tournament,

712
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: and two of the biggest favorites, you know, in Bryson

713
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: and ram to get ready coming from Live with just

714
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: the longer rough that they're gonna see. Now, I don't

715
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: know exactly, you'd have to talk to like a you know,

716
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: a golf savant. You know, one thing they've done is

717
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,959
Speaker 1: they've grown the rough into the tea box. So I think,

718
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: like anyone that's ever hit out of rough, when the

719
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: rough's going away from you, you're going to get these

720
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: flyer balls, and the ball flies a little farther. When

721
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: the ball's coming into you, it catches your you know,

722
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: whatever club you have, and especially if you're two hundred yards.

723
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaker 1: But you ideally don't want to hit like a pitching

724
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: wedge or a sand wedge, but some of these guys

725
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: are gonna be forced to do that. And I think

726
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: I saw some clips on Instagram of like, sometimes you

727
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: just gotta take your medicine. That's a huge part of

728
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: the US Open. And ultimately that kind of I think

729
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: did fill in over the years is he's never been

730
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: a huge take his medicine guy because part of it

731
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: he like lives on the edge, like Jordan speak, like,

732
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: he's an aggressive player, and it's probably cost him a

733
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: lot of tournaments over his career. I mean, this is

734
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: a guy who's won six majors and forty five tournaments.

735
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: If he played a little more conservative, you could argue

736
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: maybe he'd have like fifty five wins, but I think

737
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: he'd argue, like, why probably would have had I would

738
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: have won less tournaments as well because I wouldn't hit

739
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: some of the shots that ultimately led me to the

740
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: winner circle. So part of what defines him as a

741
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: player is he was aggressive, He let it rip, he

742
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: wasn't afraid. And if this is Phil's last US Open,

743
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: we still get to watch him on liv but this

744
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: will be a pretty cool moment for golf blending.

759
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: him get another w Where do you stand on the

760
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 1: level of competition that Tiger faced in his prime compared

761
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: to what Scotty is up against every week? Tiger was

762
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: obviously in a league of his own, but I feel

763
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: like there is a pretty big difference in competition today.

764
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 1: First twenty years ago, just the availability of launch monitors

765
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: and swing optimization software alone had a major impact, not

766
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: to mention sports medicine, etc. You know, I I think

767
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: we over I don't know if this topic's overblown, but

768
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: I don't think like the context of like, is Patrick

769
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: Cantley or some random guy that's somewhere in the top

770
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: twenty five more talented than maybe the dude in two

771
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: thousand that was nineteenth. You could argue that for sure,

772
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: And I think it's fair that if you put those

773
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: two guys together, you would take the guy from ten

774
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: to twenty five in twenty twenty five over the guy

775
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 1: in two thousand. But I think at the top and golf,

776
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: like tennis, has always been star driven and heavily weighted

777
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: toward the elite seven eight guys. Tiger had to battle

778
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: Phil who's one of the greatest players of all time,

779
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: Ernie Els, who's probably a top I don't know, fifteen

780
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: player of all time. He had runs of different guys like,

781
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, Patrick Harrington who's won three majors, Jim Furick

782
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: was a really really good player, Ratief Goosen, VJ Singh All.

783
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: These guys aren't just major champions like that, they're really

784
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: really high end guys. But specifically Ernie Phil you know,

785
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: Duval had a short run before his injuries and got direct.

786
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: But ultimately, point here is like, yeah, did Tiger take

787
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: down some rocos over the years, of course, But like

788
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: when Scotty beats let's say, Jordan Speith, He's not beating

789
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen Jordan Speth, He's beating the guy now, mus Solid,

790
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: who's a really good pro but isn't like some world beater, right,

791
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, beating Bryson and Rom and Rory is really impressive,

792
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: just like when Tiger would take down Phil Ernie and VJ.

793
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: Sinh or John Daly or you know whoever the name is,

794
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: Greg Norman toward the tail end, but like really really

795
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 1: high end guys, right, Yeah, the seventeenth best player now

796
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: is probably better than the seventeenth best player then, totally agree,

797
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: And you definitely could argue like the fortieth best player

798
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: is better now than then, So like on a weekend

799
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: week out basis, but like, do you trust most of

800
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: those guys to get it done over the weekend? No?

801
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, I would say, Scott is trending

802
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: toward being an all time great, right, He's already having

803
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: an all time great couple of years, but like over

804
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: the course of his career, you would bet on it

805
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: being awesome. You put Tiger at twenty seven in twenty

806
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: twenty five, He's the best player in the world easily.

807
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: Where would you rank last year's showdown between Rory and

808
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: Bryson in terms of greatest US Opens? Oakmont seems determined

809
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: to have a winning score over Par. I'm excited to

810
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: see the carnage. But where would you rank it in

811
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: terms of US Open venues? I would say my favorite

812
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: US Open venue is Pebble Beach. I just think Pebble

813
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,959
Speaker 1: Beach in June hard to beat. Something about the water

814
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: or something about the West Coast primetime. But listen the Olympics,

815
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: the Oakmont's wing foot. I think most people would say

816
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: it's a little type of boring golf, though there was

817
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: only one guy under par Bryson the last time they played.

818
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: As long as you tell me it's really really difficult,

819
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm in you know. I enjoyed Chambers Bay, I enjoyed Lacc.

820
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: I would say the best US Open I've ever seen

821
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: was Rockover's Tiger. I mean, Tiger won a US Open

822
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: on a broken leg in a torn acl and they

823
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: played eighteen extra roles on Monday at Torrey Pines, Which

824
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: I mean, He's had a lot of historic moments, but

825
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: it's it's one of the defining Tiger Woods career moments, right,

826
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: I mean it's Rocko, who I would love to get

827
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: on this podcast. It's the biggest moment of his career.

828
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: And sometimes, like when you lose to a Tiger Woods,

829
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: to Tom Brady, to you know, to the Yankees, to

830
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: the Lakers, like in a big moment, like you get

831
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: remembered forever. Like the biggest moment in the history of

832
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings is losing in seven to Kobe and Chack, Right,

833
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: But like being part of the l is part of

834
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: your story, right, So I would say the Tiger Rory

835
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: is the biggest one of my life, or excuse me,

836
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: Tiger Rocko biggest one of my life. I would say

837
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: Bryson and Rory would be on the short list. Pinehurst

838
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: historic venue. I was young, I didn't watch sports probably

839
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: the same way as I do now. You know, the

840
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: Phil versus Payne Stewart pretty historic. One part of that

841
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: is like paint dies. I forget how long after, but

842
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: I don't think he ever plays another US Open, so

843
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: I would say that one would be up there. I

844
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: think Tiger won a pebble Beach US Opened by like

845
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: twenty shots or something. I forget the exact thing. It

846
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 1: was a fifteen shots, I mean, beat the shit out

847
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: of everybody. I mean, I don't even think he had

848
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: a bogie that week, but that wasn't a duel. So yeah,

849
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 1: I think it's on the short list of most interesting

850
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: Sundays we've ever watched. The question about letting YouTubers into

851
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: the tourneys got me thinking, how about let them play

852
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: a few. Let a few play in the Wednesday practice

853
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: round of a major. I know these courses are crazy hard,

854
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: but having a more regular guy measuring stick would be

855
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: very entertaining. Since there's no main TV coverage on Wednesday.

856
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: Let them do a full vlog on their channel. Well

857
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: they do that now, it's just a month before. I

858
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: don't think you could get these venues. The amount the

859
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: USGA like this is a really big deal, and to

860
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: allow even a couple guys to do that one the

861
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: practice rounds are going on with the players. I just

862
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 1: don't think they're going to allow that in a major

863
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday, the day before the tournament. Now, you

864
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: could argue the week before the tournament, because right now

865
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: it's pretty like when Bob and all those guys, the

866
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: Brian Bros. When they shot that's like a month ago,

867
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: and they have different stuff roped off. I think it's

868
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: difficult to get these courses to allow them to do that.

869
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: And I think the majors, you know, I think you

870
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: could make the argument for like the Players Championship maybe

871
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: should do something like that, or maybe some of these

872
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: PGA Championships. I mean, these majors, especially Augusta, would never

873
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: needs to do that. But the other three, but specifically

874
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: the ones in America, the PGA and the US Open,

875
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: like they're gonna be the highest viewed tournaments of the year,

876
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: so like they don't necessarily need to do that. I

877
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: don't hate your idea. I just they're never allowing that

878
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: to happen. Mail back question. With baseball and tennis going

879
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: to shot clocks in a faster game, I wonder if

880
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: using cards for a tournament to see the game speed

881
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: up would help. I was in the car today and

882
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: I was listening to Drew Stoltz and Colt knows. I

883
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: don't think Colt was I think he might have been traveling.

884
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: He was in camp. I had to do with CBS

885
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: this week, so it was cold. I don't know who,

886
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: or it was Drew, I don't know who. He was

887
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,919
Speaker 1: on the on the radio with some other filling guy

888
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: and they were discussing fast play and they said, well,

889
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 1: you know, when you get these really difficult courses as

890
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: the US opened, play is actually going to be much

891
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: slower because it's harder to find balls. You have to

892
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: take more thought into account when you're hitting crazy shots

893
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: out of the rough where to lay up and then

894
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: around the greens is going to be like molasses. And

895
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm not even talking the Can't Lace and the Brysons.

896
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking even the fast players. Watching Ryan Fox, I

897
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 1: didn't watch much of the Canadian Open, but I did

898
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: turn it on with like a couple holes to play,

899
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: and then Maria kicked me out of the living room

900
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: and I had to go to watch the final four

901
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: holes in the bedroom. She's like, I'm not watching this.

902
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't totally blame you, but I'm going

903
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 1: to and Ryan Fox. Every time Jim Nantz would be talking,

904
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: they would pan to him if he was hitting second

905
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: after burns it and he's already swinging. I'm like, this

906
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 1: guy's pace to play is in fucking credible. He is,

907
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: He's like shot out of a cannon. And I think

908
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: it's easier. I mean, the Canadian Open was like ready

909
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 1: aim fire, it was easy. The US Open and the

910
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: Memorial and the players like it does take a little

911
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: more thought, So I do understand. I don't think cart

912
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: golf will be ever something that these guys want to do.

913
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,919
Speaker 1: I wouldn't hate the idea, but I have a hard

914
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: time seeing that and I don't know if it would

915
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: speed it up as much as you think, but could

916
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: be wrong. I actually think walking Yeah, I just I

917
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: don't know, But who knows. You never know? Question for

918
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: the Golo pod do holand ones count on simulators? I

919
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 1: just got my first one ever. Happened to be on

920
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: a simulator during a golf lesson while hitting at Mierfield

921
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 1: Village Jack's Place Whole sixteen, which is a two hundred

922
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 1: part three sending the video below, which I was able

923
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: to do replay on the screen. If you go to

924
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: Vegas or you could be anywhere, but let's just use

925
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: Vegas and you're a single guy and you're at like

926
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: a nice hotel bar and you take a girl home

927
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 1: and it turns out she's an escort and you sleep

928
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: with her. Does that count? I would argue no, right

929
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: that if you just went to a bar this week,

930
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 1: you're a single guy, you met a girl, you go

931
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: home with her, and you start hanging out there and

932
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: you start sleeping with her, I would say those two

933
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 1: situations are one's organic and the other one is a transaction.

934
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: It's not apples to apples here. But my point is

935
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: I would not count the simulator hole in one. I

936
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: don't think that can count. Now. I haven't spent much

937
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: time on simulators. I don't know how often they happen,

938
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: but I think that I think there could be an element.

939
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: If I was giving lessons on simulators, I would try

940
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: to manipulate it where people that come to me for

941
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,439
Speaker 1: lessons get hold on once. It would make them feel

942
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: a lot better about each other. I'm not trying to

943
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: diminice your shot. I took a screenshot of this so

944
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: I can't click on your video. Good for you, it

945
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: seems like your head in the right direction. I would

946
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 1: not count it, though. I don't think that counts on

947
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: the docket debate I'm having with some buddies. It took

948
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: prime Tiger and I put him in the PGA today,

949
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 1: would he still dominate? We also discussed if he took

950
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: Scotty and brought him back to the late nineties, how

951
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: good he would be. One side says how strong the

952
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: fields are now compared to back then. Would still win,

953
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,959
Speaker 1: but nowhere near as much. And if you flip side

954
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: says that he was the greatest athlete ever. Plus he

955
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: would get today's equipment training, so he would be even better.

956
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: We pretty much agreed Scotty would destroy everyone back in

957
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: the day love the pod. Scotty's game would translate to

958
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: any era, he would be one of the best players.

959
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 1: Right But like, is Scotty right now like that much

960
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 1: better than prime Phil? Mentally? Is he a little more?

961
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: I would say balance, so you know he wouldn't ride

962
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: the roller coasters of Phil. But if you put Tiger

963
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: in any era, he's the best player, definitely. You know,

964
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: Tiger's era on it's hard for me to equate, like

965
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: the Jack and Arnold era, but like any era I've

966
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: lived through, the twenty tens, the twenty twenties, never forget

967
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: Tiger once he kind of got his back fixed and

968
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:45,280
Speaker 1: got over the chipping yips in twenty eighteen. In twenty nineteen,

969
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 1: Tiger was playing at an elite level. He almost won

970
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 1: the PGA. The one Brooks one played with him in

971
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 1: the final group. He had a chance to win the

972
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 1: British Open against Francisco Molinari until he had like a

973
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: shitty drive on a whole eleven. So he was in

974
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 1: the mix and two Majors. Then in twenty nineteen he

975
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 1: wins the Masters. So we saw Tiger in his forties

976
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: before he messed up his ankle, not only competing with

977
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: these guys in the Majors, winning the Masters. So to me,

978
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: if Tiger doesn't flip the car and shatter his ankle,

979
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 1: he wins more Majors. And this is in his forties,

980
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: not even the prime of his This is after reconstructed

981
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: knee and back. So one hundred prime Tiger today is

982
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,399
Speaker 1: the is better than this s guy is the best

983
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: player in the world. You have to remember Tiger at

984
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: Scotty gets out driven by any guy that hits it far.

985
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: He plays with Xander Rory Bryson. These guys are flying

986
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,240
Speaker 1: it way by him. If you put Tiger at twenty

987
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: seven years old with this equipment, he's hitting it three

988
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three hundred and forty yards straight. He

989
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 1: was the best iron player of all time. He had

990
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,280
Speaker 1: a fill like short game, and he was the greatest

991
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 1: clutch putter we've ever seen. So he'd easily be the

992
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: best player he's basically he'd be hitting the like fucking

993
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: Rory off the t in his iron game is like

994
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: Fleetwood meet Scottie yet with a putter, or he's like

995
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:14,879
Speaker 1: Russell Henley, Danny McCarthy. I mean, he's he's the best

996
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: all around player of all time. So I think Scotty

997
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: would be really good, but he might just be like

998
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: Ernie Els or VJ.

999
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 3: Singh.

1000
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: He's not as good as Tiger. And I say that

1001
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: with all due respect, Like I respect the shit out

1002
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: of Scottie, but comparing him Tigers, like comparing them Michael

1003
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: or Tom doesn't get any better. And a huge part

1004
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: of Scotty and all these guys is them growing up

1005
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: watching Tiger. I think Justin Thomas would be a guy

1006
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 1: that you could put like in the eighties with their equipment.

1007
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: He'd be sweet. You mentioned recently played up in Tahoe.

1008
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: Where do you like to play up there? Some of

1009
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: the most beautiful golf in the States, in my opinion,

1010
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: ball flies. Have you ever been to the American Century Championship.

1011
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: I have not, and I've never played Edgewood. My brother has.

1012
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: He played it on a really windy day. He said

1013
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: it was tough, looks like a fun course, but I've played.

1014
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: I played Old Greenwood where they have the Barracuda. I

1015
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: actually played it right after the Barracuda, and it was

1016
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:22,439
Speaker 1: insanely hard. The greens were lightning, the rough was long.

1017
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: It was difficult. I played Grace Crossing both those courses.

1018
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: Public courses are elite, I mean elite, but now it's

1019
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 1: not cheap. I paid two hundred bucks the day after

1020
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: it opened, after the winner, so I think in the

1021
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: summer maybe three fifty. It gets. I mean it's expensive

1022
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: for public golf, but they're both high end tracks. And

1023
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: then my guy Glenn last year invited me to play

1024
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,320
Speaker 1: Martis Camp, which is an exclusive public or private course,

1025
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: which was just badass. I mean, it was just just

1026
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: an elite track, special special day for your boy. One

1027
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: of the cooler days of playing golf I've had years,

1028
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: so those are the three courses I played. Uh, why

1029
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: the sudden love for to live on the last podcast?

1030
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: Is it because they are on Fox or someone is

1031
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 1: paying you to do it? Just curious because you never

1032
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,359
Speaker 1: really talked about it. They bought ad space on our

1033
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: show and me and Colin and I said, yeah, I'll

1034
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: do it. We just need to get some of their

1035
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 1: players on the pot or I have to play in

1036
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: a pro am or something. So we're working on that.

1037
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 1: At first, I was like, I don't know, and then

1038
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 1: I realized, like, what are we even doing, Like they

1039
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 1: got wrong, they got Bryson, they got Phil. If I

1040
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 1: can get involved have them on the podcast, I'll do it.

1041
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 1: So they bought advertising space and I said, let's get

1042
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:38,800
Speaker 1: some of their guys involved on the show. So in

1043
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, like, what are we even talking about?

1044
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: And I've never been it never bothered me like the

1045
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 1: brandles of the world, and I've been open. It's not

1046
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: like I watch much of it. I definitely have paid

1047
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,720
Speaker 1: more attention as as I started gambling on golf with

1048
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 1: with Bryson and Rom and they got two of the

1049
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: best four or five players in the world. So I said, yeah,

1050
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 1: they want to advertise on the pot. Let's do it.

1051
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: I would like to play in a pro am and

1052
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 1: I would like to have some of their guys. I

1053
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: mean John Rahm, I would say, I don't know. I

1054
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 1: don't know where his house is, but I know in

1055
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: the Vicinity is ten minutes away from me. I'm like,

1056
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 1: I fuck, you want to come on the show. Well,

1057
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: I'll meet him somewhere. Let's do an in person interview.

1058
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: So it's it's business, you know, And I uh, anyway

1059
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: that we can, you know, football, you know, it is

1060
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: much easier for me to just know a bunch of

1061
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 1: people in the league and to have access to gms

1062
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: and be able to text people. And I did a

1063
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: podcast today that I think we'll play next week with

1064
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: John Schneider. I mean, I just have access to these

1065
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,919
Speaker 1: people through my background or in golf. It's just it's

1066
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: more difficult. So I was like, yeah, let's expand our horizons.

1067
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: And uh, that's why need to hear thoughts on Rory

1068
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: giving up the Canadian Open. I can't imagine Scotty ever

1069
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,720
Speaker 1: going to a tournament and shooting nine over and missing

1070
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: a cut. Maybe a bad couple of days and he

1071
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 1: misses the cut. By a couple of strokes, but nine

1072
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: seems a little ridiculous, especially a week before the Majors. Yeah,

1073
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,879
Speaker 1: I would say it's pretty alarming. I do think once

1074
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 1: you get to the back nine, you're like gonna miss

1075
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:13,760
Speaker 1: the cut. Like we've all played golf, whether you're Tiger Woods,

1076
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: Roy McK or, once you get to a certain point

1077
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 1: you have no shot. What are you gonna do? You know,

1078
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: it's like Tom Brady, Payton Manning. You could find a

1079
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 1: game in their career where they lose by thirty forty points.

1080
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: It happens like you just kind of waved the white flag.

1081
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: So I his driver wasn't working. To me, the comments

1082
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: around it were more alarming, And it's just right before major.

1083
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: Do I think he went into the tournament trying to

1084
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 1: miss the cut and just getting a warm up. I don't,

1085
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: So I think it's more alarming that his game is

1086
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 1: just in a bad place. You know, Scotty right now

1087
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: is just never even close to missing cuts. But like

1088
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: I think it happens, it doesn't bother me as much

1089
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: that you just kind of quote unquote mail it in

1090
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 1: with nine holes left. You have no shot now if

1091
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 1: you like intentionally missed a putt like tanked a tournament,

1092
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, it'd be a little weird, but

1093
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: I think he didn't have it and then it just snowballed.

1094
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 1: I saw someone one of the golf guys, I think

1095
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: it's Run Rick Run, who's a data guy, posted that

1096
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 1: based on the data, it's the second worst round of

1097
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: his career on Friday, in the history of all of

1098
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 1: his rounds in professional golf. So to me, it's more

1099
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: alarming that, like, what the hell's going on? I mean,

1100
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: the US opens this week. Is it just he can't

1101
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 1: of Like you know, sometimes in the NBA, it's like,

1102
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: well they're tanking. They're literally trying to lose. You know,

1103
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: we've seen it in football a couple of times, the

1104
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: Dolphins tank for Tua, the Colts the year, you know

1105
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 1: with Andrew Luck. You know, in golf, it's like you

1106
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: shoot eighty, like you didn't start that day trying to

1107
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 1: shoot eighty. Like it's happened to Justin Thomas a couple

1108
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: of times. You know, DJ's had some rough rounds last

1109
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 1: couple of years. It's like you just like that's for

1110
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: those guys. Their eighty would be like my one hundred

1111
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: and ten It's like it's gotta be an alarming feeling. Okay,

1112
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: last question, what do you make of big name players

1113
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 1: like Max and Ricky missing out on the major in

1114
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: these thirty six hole qualifiers the day after playing in

1115
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: the Memorial? Uh? I think that day the longest day

1116
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: in golf when guys that aren't in the US Open

1117
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: try to open qualify for it. It's part of, you know,

1118
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 1: the cool aspect of the PGA is all the PGA

1119
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: professionals who can qualify into the PGA Championship in the

1120
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 1: US Open, of anyone of a certain handicap can attempt

1121
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: to qualify into the tournament. And if you play well

1122
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 1: enough on the qualifier to get into that Monday of

1123
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 1: the thirty six holes and then obviously the thirty six holes,

1124
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: you got to be dialed in. You got to be

1125
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: pretty lights out on thirty six holes in these scenarios.

1126
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: And usually if you look at some of these scores,

1127
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: it's like sick seven under gets you into a playoff.

1128
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,439
Speaker 1: I mean, the one kid was like eighteen years old.

1129
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 1: He shot like sixty three sixty three. I think he's

1130
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: a senior in high school. Can you imagine that guy

1131
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: on his high school golfing circuit. He has to just

1132
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: destroy people. He's gotta be. I don't know anything about him.

1133
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: I would imagine the best high school player in the country.

1134
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: But like Max Homer, for example, who clearly is having

1135
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: issues this season, fires his caddy after him and Joe breakup.

1136
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: He's had the caddy for like two months, doesn't have

1137
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: a caddy, carries his own bag, almost like a punishment

1138
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: to himself. Gets to the thirty six hole, two putt,

1139
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: He's in the US Open, three putts, goes to the playoff.

1140
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 1: I mean it's hard. I mean, look at the final

1141
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: I was watching. I guess it would have been last Monday,

1142
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: so we go today. I mean the playoff in that

1143
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 1: tournament in Ohio was like Cam Young who just finished

1144
01:00:56,280 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: second or third in the Canadian Open, Ricky Fowler, Max Homa,

1145
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 1: Eric Cole. I mean, all these dudes are They were

1146
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: playing for one spot, and I just think I respect

1147
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: it because I think when you get to a certain point.

1148
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 1: This was a knock on some of the live guys

1149
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 1: is they were complaining early on that they were complaining

1150
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: about not getting access to majors, and it's like, well,

1151
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: you can try to open qualify for the US Open

1152
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: and guys were not doing it. They've done it the

1153
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 1: last couple of years, but like it's part of golf.

1154
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're just not in whatever the threshold is,

1155
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: unlike the Masters, like you can't there is no qualifying

1156
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: beside winning a tournament or getting to a certain top

1157
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 1: fifty or whatever the number is in the US Open, Like,

1158
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 1: these guys all have the opportunity. It's why typically when

1159
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: you look at that day, most of the guys that

1160
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:48,880
Speaker 1: qualify are like Eric Van Royan, Cam Young, Max Homa, Right,

1161
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's like pros Zach Bleer. All these guys

1162
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 1: are like playing on the PGA Tour and it's a

1163
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: cool day. It's what makes golf kind of unique. It's

1164
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 1: almost like, in a weird way, it would be like

1165
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 1: if like the Philadelphia Eagles had Open tryouts and they're

1166
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 1: gonna keep one guy to take the training camp, like

1167
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: back in the day with Vince Papali. That's kind of

1168
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: like what the US Open Now. Most of the Open

1169
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 1: tryout guys in this scenario would be like NFL players

1170
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,479
Speaker 1: or guys on practice squads. So it's like not even

1171
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: that weird, but every once in a while, one or

1172
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 1: two guys like who's this guy? Never even heard of him?

1173
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: And then he like makes the team and it's what

1174
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: makes golf kind of special, is like that day, that moment.

1175
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: But I didn't see every guy that qualified, but I

1176
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: bet if we look through, the majority of them are pros.

1177
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: I think the one hard part like typically based on

1178
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: your strength to field, you get more guys in, and

1179
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 1: based on that strength of field. At that I think

1180
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: it was Springfield, Ohio, maybe Columbus, Ohio, one of those

1181
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 1: two they got five or six guys in. But you will,

1182
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the top of that leaderboard. It

1183
01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: was just pro after pro after pro after pro. I'man one.

1184
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: They turned to one tournament. It was like Mark Leishman

1185
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 1: and Munho's and a bunch of dudes that like are

1186
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 1: either on the liver or the PG tour, you know,

1187
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 1: me or you going in it. Even if we're a

1188
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: scratch golfer, more than likely, you know you're gonna have

1189
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 1: to shoot depending on the course minimum six under and more.

1190
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: You know some some courses that are easier eight to

1191
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 1: nine under, like you don't. That's the thing with Max

1192
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 1: carrying his own bag, which I respect you do wonder

1193
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 1: if at the end, like was he a little tired.

1194
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 1: I mean he's been playing a PGA Tours season. I

1195
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: know he walks a lot, but carrying your own bag

1196
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 1: it would have been pretty legendary, would have been pretty legendary.

1197
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 1: So appreciate everyone listening. Make sure you fire in those

1198
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 1: those dms at go lopod and very very I kind

1199
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 1: of I love major weeks. We got seventy two so

1200
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: what's that one hundred and forty four holes left of

1201
01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: Major Championship golf at Oakmont and then uh Point Rush,

1202
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: the home of Roy McElroy and where Shane Lowry won

1203
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 1: years ago. So very very excited for these last couple

1204
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: of majors, especially to gamble on. So we will talk soon.

1205
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 1: We'll have some football podcasts coming out the rest of

1206
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 1: the week. Audios the volume
