Speaker 1: I miss the green.
Speaker 2: For example, I'm already upset. When I find my ball
Speaker 2: in the bunker, I'm really upset.
Speaker 1: And when I find my.
Speaker 3: Ball in a Frida Egg Friday Egg, the dreaded Friday
Speaker 3: Friday Friday Bride Egg, Lie.
Speaker 2: I'm about ready to run off the golf course. Ladies
Speaker 2: and gentlemen, welcome back for another edition of the Friday
Speaker 2: Egg Podcast. In our final Masters series, we welcome back
Speaker 2: Tron Carter from No Laying Up, DJ Pyehouski from Scratch TV,
Speaker 2: and we are joined by number one Sergio fan the
Speaker 2: Scores Adam Sarson. Welcome on, guys.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Andy Sarson. You're alive?
Speaker 4: U yeah, but barely, but yeah, I know. It's uh
Speaker 4: what a day, you know that they're there. I sent
Speaker 4: this out on Twitter probably about I don't know, probably
Speaker 4: ten fifteen minutes after it was over. But I always
Speaker 4: thought he would win one, but I never thought it
Speaker 4: would be this one. Like it doesn't you know, obviously
Speaker 4: super talented. It never seems like this was the one
Speaker 4: he was gonna win. And I actually I'm shocked that
Speaker 4: he did to be honest like throughout throughout the first
Speaker 4: few holes, even when he was like two or three up.
Speaker 4: I was thinking, Okay, well Rose is right there, Fowler's
Speaker 4: still there. I'm sure Speed's gonna just torched the back
Speaker 4: nine and something's gonna happen to him. But then it
Speaker 4: never did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you would think if you're going to make a list,
Speaker 2: it like starts with the British Open. But you know,
Speaker 2: you have to think that those wind tough conditions in
Speaker 2: the first two days helped him so much get there,
Speaker 2: because you know, it kind of it gave him a
Speaker 2: nice start to the tournament where it made it just,
Speaker 2: you know, so tough for everybody, and you know he
Speaker 2: thrives on that hard golf course and U but.
Speaker 1: He did make the first the first like what twenty
Speaker 1: three holes or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the tournament, Yeah, I mean he just he hits
Speaker 2: it so flush. I mean he I was listening to
Speaker 2: Brandle talk about it, and he was talking about his
Speaker 2: swing and how he had shallowed shallower divots this week
Speaker 2: than he'd ever seen, which I mean it was true though.
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I felt like I noticed the opposite coming
Speaker 5: down the stretch. I felt he was just digging on
Speaker 5: those last peoples.
Speaker 1: He's always on those last people.
Speaker 2: But you know, like I kept feeling like you you know,
Speaker 2: kept going through your head. Oh no, not again, because
Speaker 2: like you know, the the shot on ten and the
Speaker 2: bad drive on eleven, you know, and then thirteen he's
Speaker 2: in the in the weeds. You know, seemingly it's over.
Speaker 2: But the guy just had he had something that he's
Speaker 2: never had before. I mean, what what do you think
Speaker 2: has changed? Is it is it is this personal life
Speaker 2: thing blown out of proportions or is it real?
Speaker 4: Uh? I think there's something to it. He definitely does
Speaker 4: seem like he's you know, more at peace with whatever
Speaker 4: he's got going on in his life. Uh. It has
Speaker 4: nothing to do with Sebby in my own opinion, But uh,
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I I it's he's always been He's
Speaker 4: always been good enough. I think I think you're I
Speaker 4: think your point about the first two rounds is a
Speaker 4: valid one. He always thrives on hard golf courses in
Speaker 4: hard conditions, which is why I was actually concerned about
Speaker 4: the weekend because it was supposed to be so much
Speaker 4: easier and you know, the greens are supposed to faster,
Speaker 4: and you know that's just not something that he's usually
Speaker 4: all that good at. But yeah, no, I don't. I
Speaker 4: don't think anything's necessarily changed so much in his actual game.
Speaker 4: I mean, I still don't think any of us actually
Speaker 4: trust him to hit, you know, any kind of like
Speaker 4: a downhill eight footer, like I don't. I don't think
Speaker 4: any of that's changed. I think it's it's got to
Speaker 4: be the personal life first off, and then you know,
Speaker 4: everything just trying of came together this week. No one,
Speaker 4: no one really made a charge out of him either
Speaker 4: outside of Rows obviously.
Speaker 5: I think the best thing that I heard from him was,
Speaker 5: you know, he was talking after his round.
Speaker 6: I know he's mentioned this in the past, but like, first.
Speaker 5: Of all, I was surprising to hear him say that
Speaker 5: he had kind of like penciled in himself for a
Speaker 5: couple of masters.
Speaker 6: Like back in the day.
Speaker 5: He was like, yeah, I kind of you know, I
Speaker 5: thought I would win a couple here, and then you know,
Speaker 5: it just the course blew me up basically for fifteen years.
Speaker 5: And you know, he's made all those comments in the
Speaker 5: past about how he didn't like it and it was unfair,
Speaker 5: and you know, it gets kind of quirky, and it
Speaker 5: just you know, maybe it wasn't his kind of place,
Speaker 5: which is kind of all the reasons, like we all
Speaker 5: love the golf course so much, I feel like and
Speaker 5: it felt like that was the one thing he said
Speaker 5: was that he kind of let it all go and
Speaker 5: was like, all right, you know, whatever, whatever.
Speaker 6: Happens, happens.
Speaker 5: And so I think like in the past he would
Speaker 5: have gotten some of those breaks. He probably would have
Speaker 5: seen some of the breaks justin Rose got to and
Speaker 5: just like completely said, all right, here we go again.
Speaker 5: This is it's just not gonna happen. And then that
Speaker 5: leads to more misses and more you know, more bad
Speaker 5: putts and all that stuff, and it just didn't didn't
Speaker 5: happen this week.
Speaker 4: I was about to lose it when I saw the
Speaker 4: ricochet that Rose gone on eighteen, and I couldn't believe
Speaker 4: that that actually happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was ridiculous. I mean, he had
Speaker 2: a great put there. It was so interesting that that
Speaker 2: putt just stays on the edge that time, and then
Speaker 2: the second time around it breaks, and it's just that's
Speaker 2: the crazy thing about golf is these little like nuances
Speaker 2: and moments like he got that unbelievable bounce to get
Speaker 2: in in there, and then the putt doesn't move and
Speaker 2: then second time around it does and I'm just I uh,
Speaker 2: I think that I'm so happy Sergio made that putt
Speaker 2: to win the play, you know, like it just it
Speaker 2: felt so much better that he didn't just lag it
Speaker 2: down there to six inches.
Speaker 1: That was like that was like an emphatic, emphatic exclamation
Speaker 1: point on the whole thing. Like it was just a
Speaker 1: it was like a middle finger to all the haters
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 5: And even just uh, just the way that it went
Speaker 5: like I'm getting too in the nitty gritty, but even
Speaker 5: just the way that it went in we're kind of
Speaker 5: like what a on the back cup and just shook.
Speaker 6: I mean, it was just perfect. It was so good.
Speaker 5: And the fact that he had so much I mean,
Speaker 5: it's just so much up and down throughout the round.
Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like when you watch a final
Speaker 5: round like that, a lot of the times you can
Speaker 5: kind of you can kind of identify the guy pretty early.
Speaker 5: I'm like, he's gonna hold together and win and whatever,
Speaker 5: and it just I mean, the meter is just going
Speaker 5: back and forth all day behind before you know between
Speaker 5: he's got it.
Speaker 6: It's gonna happen, and there's no way, like this is impossible.
Speaker 6: Here we go again. Just so just so compelling.
Speaker 4: I mean, after so so on ten, he basically chunks
Speaker 4: the drive off the tea. He had what like he
Speaker 4: had like what two hundred and sixty yards fifty one?
Speaker 4: I think it's like right after I saw that and
Speaker 4: then he puts it into the bushes and whatever. It's
Speaker 4: just yeah, it was I was. I was ready to
Speaker 4: just obviously pack it into that point.
Speaker 5: But has to be like among the worst spots on
Speaker 5: the golf course to try to chip from.
Speaker 2: Oh sure, he hit.
Speaker 5: Over the bunkers running away from you the whole time.
Speaker 2: He got a horrible bounce there because he hit like
Speaker 2: one of that was that shot was so insanely good
Speaker 2: and it got like a hard kick.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but like that.
Speaker 1: The variables of like how bad like how much he
Speaker 1: could have messed that shot up to off of the
Speaker 1: like sitting off the pine strawl. There's there's so many
Speaker 1: awful things that can happen there, like either think same
Speaker 1: with eleven.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know how we did that on eleven either.
Speaker 2: So great, you know, he almost channeled a little Speef
Speaker 2: out there with the way no, no, no, the way
Speaker 2: he limited damage from like just terrible shots, you know,
Speaker 2: like making par on thirteen was I mean, him making
Speaker 2: that putt was so big because you know, I think
Speaker 2: if he misses, Rose makes it and you know it's
Speaker 2: completely over. But you know, that's the crazy thing about
Speaker 2: golf is there's there's so much little psychological things. I think.
Speaker 5: Thirteen is because like it's just so cool how much
Speaker 5: of the tournament comes down.
Speaker 6: To that hole.
Speaker 5: It feels like from just a momentum standpoint, it like
Speaker 5: the last couple of years, I mean Bubba when he
Speaker 5: beats speed and like kind and did there this year.
Speaker 5: I mean, it just feels like that's kind of always
Speaker 5: wear it pivots.
Speaker 2: You know, this will piss pissed tron off is that
Speaker 2: Danny Will at last year pard thirteen every round?
Speaker 6: All right, Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about that.
Speaker 2: I think it usually matters except for Danny Will.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: You just don't like anything with Danny Will.
Speaker 1: I don't know how anything Everything pisses you.
Speaker 2: Off, as uh Will Cabin.
Speaker 6: That was awesome to see.
Speaker 4: Can can we talk about the way Sergio played fifteen
Speaker 4: all week? Because what he did? I mean, look, he'll
Speaker 4: obviously almost jarred it from the fairway, which I I
Speaker 4: think I basically woke up my entire neighborhood when I
Speaker 4: saw that happen. But uh no, it didn't hit the stick,
Speaker 4: but it.
Speaker 2: Was I think it grazed it. I don't.
Speaker 1: I feel like this that it hit the stick on
Speaker 1: the way back up, but just barely, like barely glanced in.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean even even yesterday, like you hit this
Speaker 4: ridiculous three iron from like I don't know, it was
Speaker 4: two hundred plus and it was just like it was
Speaker 4: majestic to watch that ball flight, like it was like,
Speaker 4: I don't know, it just everything kind of seemed to
Speaker 4: come together and I was ready to pack it again
Speaker 4: on sixteen when he missed that putt, and it's just
Speaker 4: like I've never I don't know if I've ever actually
Speaker 4: experienced the ups and downs of a round before it
Speaker 4: let us like it was insane, you.
Speaker 5: Know, if you think about it. He he hit a
Speaker 5: decent shot on twelve, right, I mean he was what
Speaker 5: right or left of the pin or twenty feet left
Speaker 5: or something yep. Kind Of from there, he didn't miss
Speaker 5: a shot the rest of the tournament. I mean, well,
Speaker 5: besides the drive on thirteen.
Speaker 4: Beside the drive on thirteen maybe from.
Speaker 5: The wedge on thirteen basically perfect.
Speaker 1: We worked at the drive on thirteen two. It was
Speaker 1: just totally like I thought the ball was fine. I mean,
Speaker 1: the camera like they couldn't find the ball, and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they showed they showed the pine
Speaker 1: straw and like, what like it's over there.
Speaker 4: Well, well he talked about that when in uh In
Speaker 4: Butler Kevin when when he was answering Nance's questions too,
Speaker 4: because because he was right yesterday, he did take the
Speaker 4: exact same line on Saturday, and he absolutely just killed
Speaker 4: the ball over that on that ridiculous line that he took.
Speaker 4: It it was and I guess I don't know. I
Speaker 4: guess he just didn't hit either barn up or high
Speaker 4: up and get it over everything. But yeah, it was.
Speaker 4: It was the same line.
Speaker 2: Why is there all this technology on the Masters app
Speaker 2: but not in the telecast, like because do you.
Speaker 4: Want to take that tron.
Speaker 1: No? I mean I was talking about this with Simon
Speaker 1: Filler earlier. It's like they it's like the broadcast is
Speaker 1: the last bastion of like, uh, you know it, I
Speaker 1: don't even know. It's just it's it's in fury eating.
Speaker 6: How how.
Speaker 1: Opposed they are to showing anything with technology as far
Speaker 1: as the actual CBS broadcast. It's like that's the holy
Speaker 1: grail and they can't mess with anything with that.
Speaker 2: You know. What I think is happening is that the
Speaker 2: Masters is just slowly just weaning CBS out and eventually
Speaker 2: it's going to be all on the app, all on
Speaker 2: by them. Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, isn't there stated intention to have all
Speaker 1: Why why would they give out of every of every
Speaker 1: player for the whole tournament like readily accessible.
Speaker 2: That's well, that's my point is like why would they
Speaker 2: let their app have technology that a telecast could easily
Speaker 2: have and just blindly, you know, withhold that from them?
Speaker 6: Yea, it is weird, Yeah yeah, but they.
Speaker 1: Could do that. I mean they're like, it's not like
Speaker 1: they're locked in to some CBS contracts. It's like a
Speaker 1: year to year deal, right Like then they can cut
Speaker 1: the core. I don't think they have to like needlessly
Speaker 1: sabotage CBS in order to justify doing that. Down the line,
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're in the driver's seat with the relationship,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 5: I feel like we're getting down the conspiracy line here,
Speaker 5: we need to get back to it so hard.
Speaker 1: Sergio one of the masters guy.
Speaker 2: So now, So now that Sergio's got the monkey off
Speaker 2: of his back, you know what, what do you think
Speaker 2: at age thirty seven he's still got with the way
Speaker 2: he hits the ball. I think he's still got fifteen
Speaker 2: years of good golf in him. How many do you get?
Speaker 1: I think he gets a British for sure.
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, I think so too.
Speaker 5: It's just so hard, man, it's so hard to predict
Speaker 5: all this stuff, just because of the sheer fact that
Speaker 5: there's only four Like, I mean, there's only four every
Speaker 5: It's like how many you know, if Rory won today,
Speaker 5: we'd be talking about how many Rory's gonna get. If
Speaker 5: Dustin won, We've been talking about how many Dustin's gonna get, Like,
Speaker 5: there's only so many to go around for all these guys.
Speaker 6: It's kind of the issue. So, I mean, I feel like.
Speaker 5: If he gets two more one or two more, that's
Speaker 5: massively like, that's that's massively capitalizing on what happened today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's just it's it's just so tough with uh.
Speaker 4: I mean, the talent at the top of of you
Speaker 4: know the world right now is just it's so good.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I would I do think he
Speaker 4: gets a British at some point. I don't think it's
Speaker 4: out of the question that he does a US Open either,
Speaker 4: But I mean, it's it's so hard, it's so hard
Speaker 4: to predict. I mean, I never would have thought he
Speaker 4: would have done this one. So I mean it's he
Speaker 4: has the name to win anywhere. I would I would
Speaker 4: be surprised if he didn't get at least one more.
Speaker 4: But I mean, I mean, are we going to be
Speaker 4: that shot, Say if if if Henry Stenson doesn't get
Speaker 4: another one, he just I don't think if he don't
Speaker 4: think I.
Speaker 1: Was surprised if Sergio didn't win another one than if
Speaker 1: Stenson didn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think Sergio in general, Sergio's got
Speaker 2: more of a pedigree of success than Stenson does. In majors.
Speaker 2: In general, he's got I think I think Sergio is
Speaker 2: a more talented player. Like Sergio. The thing that goes
Speaker 2: underrated with how Grady hits the ball is is how
Speaker 2: good of a pitcher of the golf ball he is.
Speaker 2: I mean, like around the greens, there probably aren't He's
Speaker 2: probably one of the ten best around the greens with
Speaker 2: just pitch shots. And and I think Stenson, you know,
Speaker 2: he's one of the five best t to green but
Speaker 2: around the green, And I think Sergio is in a
Speaker 2: in a different career class than Stenson is.
Speaker 1: I agree, what And it's not like his game is
Speaker 1: going to be like it's like as guys get older,
Speaker 1: some of them lose they're they're putting and all that. Like,
Speaker 1: it's not like that's that's gonna be a huge issue
Speaker 1: with Sergio. I don't think where like he's kind of
Speaker 1: already faced those demons and figured out the workarounds with
Speaker 1: those where I think that may affect him less as
Speaker 1: we go along here, just because it's affected him so
Speaker 1: much already.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he's you know, it's not like he's
Speaker 5: going from being the second best putter on tour to
Speaker 5: the eightieth best. He's going to go from you know,
Speaker 5: the eightieth best to the ninetieth best. Yeah or whatever.
Speaker 5: We're gonna change all that lunch.
Speaker 6: Yeah, what do you think? How many more do you
Speaker 6: think he gets?
Speaker 2: Ah? You know, I think he I think he's going
Speaker 2: to get to three or four on his career. And
Speaker 2: like when you think about Sergio. I think when you
Speaker 2: look at this kind of era of golfer, you know,
Speaker 2: in that Tiger realm, you know he's going to be
Speaker 2: from the younger era. He'll be number two behind. You know,
Speaker 2: he's got you know, like in this kind of ten years.
Speaker 2: If you take Rory as a younger generation and you
Speaker 2: you look at he's gonna be like, you know, two,
Speaker 2: two to three in there with you know Phil, You've
Speaker 2: got I mean, really it's Ernie Phil. It's kind of
Speaker 2: weird because he's in a different spot than Ernie and Phil.
Speaker 2: But you look at like who he's in there, like
Speaker 2: Adam Scott, Justin Rose. You know this.
Speaker 6: I think that's a good question.
Speaker 2: Here's here's a here's kind of the question I was
Speaker 2: thinking in my head, is you know it, if we
Speaker 2: had a major championship at you know, big time course tomorrow,
Speaker 2: are there two guys more than two guys you picked
Speaker 2: before Justin Rose in that championship? Like just blind, we're
Speaker 2: going to play a big boy golf course.
Speaker 5: I mean, this is stupid and I'm gonna get roasted,
Speaker 5: But I think I mean I would pay Rose over
Speaker 5: Rory right now.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's right, crickets.
Speaker 4: No, I I mean I get I doubt what you're
Speaker 4: I doubt what you're saying.
Speaker 6: It doesn't make it. There's a cognitive are we saying
Speaker 6: for a win?
Speaker 2: I'm saying you need a guy to go out and
Speaker 2: earn money, like like you're like the guy. It's not
Speaker 2: a crazy thing to say. I think, what is it
Speaker 2: over the last three years is his relation to Parr
Speaker 2: is almost double as low as the next closest player
Speaker 2: in major championship chips. So that's not a crazy saying
Speaker 2: at all. Like I think, justin Rose, when the chips
Speaker 2: are down at a at a you know, a pedigree
Speaker 2: golf course, I don't know if they're you know, I
Speaker 2: think DJ, him and Speth would be my three. You know,
Speaker 2: maybe I might put Sergio in there too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean with with Rose, I don't have the
Speaker 4: iss in front of me. But like, it doesn't seem
Speaker 4: like Rose has any real discernible weaknesses, you know. And
Speaker 4: I think like, I mean obviously that we we know
Speaker 4: the list of courses that he's won at too. I mean,
Speaker 4: there's no doubt in my mind that he dotes one
Speaker 4: of these before he goes to Like I it just
Speaker 4: seems like he's a perfect fit for this golf course.
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know if I I love Rory's game,
Speaker 4: So I mean, I don't know if I can I
Speaker 4: don't know if I can take if I can take
Speaker 4: Rose over Rory. But yeah, no, I think I think
Speaker 4: then it's a valid question. Though I think he's definitely
Speaker 4: in the top three.
Speaker 1: Or four guys. I I haven't I haven't heard a
Speaker 1: single word that anybody said since DJ or since since
Speaker 1: any listed off his guys just because Jay Day was
Speaker 1: has not even entered the conversation, which makes me so
Speaker 1: happy because I'm just doing psychological psychops on you guys.
Speaker 2: So I think, I think, I think that the if
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you know, who's a guy that
Speaker 2: can go run away with a tournament or wire, Jason
Speaker 2: Day Rory would be on that list. But if I'm
Speaker 2: talking like I need a guy to go out and
Speaker 2: play major championship golf tomorrow, Justin Rose is on my list.
Speaker 2: You know, Does that make sense?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: I think also that the week to week PGA Tour
Speaker 2: set up is drastically favored towards guys that bomb and
Speaker 2: gouge totally.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's there's something interesting about Rose that he's I
Speaker 5: was talking to somebody about this, and Day is kind
Speaker 5: of like this too. I Mean, there's there's certain guys
Speaker 5: that are just like, no matter where they go, they're
Speaker 5: always going to shoot ten under for the week, right.
Speaker 5: Roses doesn't strike me as a guy who's gonna go shoot,
Speaker 5: you know, twenty eight under and win, win at Hartford
Speaker 5: or something like that. He's just he's one of these
Speaker 5: guys that like, he just I don't know how you
Speaker 5: you kind of explain it. It's just when the courses
Speaker 5: get that much harder, he just it's magnified how much
Speaker 5: cleaner he is than everyone else.
Speaker 4: The tron's boy coach, he does the same thing.
Speaker 1: You know, He's not clean though.
Speaker 2: Let's let's let's talk about.
Speaker 1: That. You know.
Speaker 2: My top my one of my top moments of today's
Speaker 2: telecast was Cooch just taking it to the ncrib on
Speaker 2: the Bath nine.
Speaker 1: How about that closing speed coucher all d J. All
Speaker 1: there was was was our boy Huber Mexico story. I'll
Speaker 1: let him tell that somewhere down the line. But he
Speaker 1: said he this great, this great motivational thing that he
Speaker 1: says still himself after he makes big Potts and big Shop.
Speaker 1: So but like just envisioning saying that to himself. It
Speaker 1: was a sight to behold. Yeah, I mean he just
Speaker 1: he stuck it in me. He was inside of me
Speaker 1: on the entire back.
Speaker 2: I mean, did you guys catch his interview in Butler
Speaker 2: Cavin when he managed to talk about the Bridgetone on
Speaker 2: the ball be on the bridge.
Speaker 1: So I was like from the back door, not not Bridgetone.
Speaker 1: So and then and then somebody, somebody tweeted something like
Speaker 1: something really derogatory, like like oh, like in your face,
Speaker 1: Tron Carter. And then like like like Bridgestone liked it.
Speaker 4: The guys, come.
Speaker 3: On, you gotta just take the good with the bad today,
Speaker 3: way in the black today for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then then he was like ever present. He was.
Speaker 1: He pulled a butt. They're at the end, just kind
Speaker 1: of hanging around behind eighteen greens, shaking hands, Yeah, kissing babies.
Speaker 5: So he was watching watching his co medalist come in.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I want to know what was this? What
Speaker 5: was the scene at Tron Carter headquarters and Adam Sarson headquarters.
Speaker 6: I mean, I am I am nowhere.
Speaker 5: I love Sergio I am nowhere even in the same
Speaker 5: arena as you guys.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I think you're the you're the the Sergio fan club.
Speaker 4: Were there tears, No, no, no, there there were there
Speaker 4: were There were no tears here. I'm not going to
Speaker 4: speech for tron I. I was. I I'll say this, like,
Speaker 4: my my stomach was in knots for like twelve holes.
Speaker 4: Like it was. It was bad. It was. It was
Speaker 4: real bad. It got it got a whole lot worse
Speaker 4: when I saw him trunks that ball in ten, because
Speaker 4: I just figured it was all kind of come crashing
Speaker 4: down after he did.
Speaker 5: Not only that, but then he backed off that shot
Speaker 5: for the fairway like three times.
Speaker 4: But that you know, he was he was the pretty
Speaker 4: much all day yesterday and through the first six or
Speaker 4: seven holes today he he did none of that.
Speaker 5: No man, so comfortable. And then yeah, as soon as
Speaker 5: he got to the back then he looked like a
Speaker 5: different he would be.
Speaker 4: He just he just kept backing off and backing off.
Speaker 4: It was just it was like it was like I
Speaker 4: was stuck watching him at like Beth Page and O two.
Speaker 4: It was the same thing. It was the same thing,
Speaker 4: and and it just I just I thought there was
Speaker 4: no way that it was that it was actually going
Speaker 4: to happen. But then, I mean, fifteen fifteen changed everything.
Speaker 5: I thought fourteen was fourteen is gonna go down as
Speaker 5: his underrated hole of the week.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: That shot that he hit fourteen green was like, that
Speaker 5: was a shot where it was like you have to
Speaker 5: know with that pin where you need to land it,
Speaker 5: where it's going to feed to.
Speaker 6: That was perfect.
Speaker 2: Four So fourteen is such an underrated hole out there.
Speaker 2: It's so good.
Speaker 1: It's fourteen so good. And seventeen sucks.
Speaker 2: Dude, seventeen suck.
Speaker 4: I like, seventeen doesn't suck that great.
Speaker 2: That bunker, that bunker.
Speaker 1: It is like if seventeen and three switch spots, I
Speaker 1: would like seventeen so much more.
Speaker 4: You just I think I think Jake, Jake Nichols was
Speaker 4: talking about it too. I thought he said he was saying,
Speaker 4: like switch seventeen and eight seventeen and seven.
Speaker 2: Seven is the worst Hong Golf course.
Speaker 6: He was saying switch because they kicked to each other.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I don't know. I I was absolutely paranoid
Speaker 4: that he was going to miss that putt on seventeen.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the short one. I know,
Speaker 4: the first one. He had no chance of him. But
Speaker 4: there was no chance that was ever going.
Speaker 2: How about put on fifteen? How did that? How did that?
Speaker 2: It did not look like it was going over the
Speaker 2: front edge.
Speaker 6: No, exactly.
Speaker 1: You're projecting your negativity onto the pot. I'm a very literally.
Speaker 2: Going I'm negative. I'm a negative.
Speaker 5: I think seventeen is a cool hole because of a
Speaker 5: couple of reasons. But like when you look at thirteen
Speaker 5: is obviously super gettible.
Speaker 6: Fourteen is gettable. I mean, if you if you hit
Speaker 6: good shots, which is.
Speaker 7: Some births down the stretch, fifteen is gettable. Sixteen is
Speaker 7: gettable with that pin, and seventeen like and eighteen is
Speaker 7: gettable with that pin. And so they did, like you
Speaker 7: need a punch hole that Like I was saying that
Speaker 7: it was texting with somebody earlier and saying, like, seventeen's
Speaker 7: it's still like a it's still a mover kind of hole,
Speaker 7: just because it brings Bogie to play instead of Bertie.
Speaker 1: It's well, which is kind of a heat hole. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you like, if a guy's rolling along like he's got
Speaker 1: to hit two solid shots in there, and I agree,
Speaker 1: it's much It is a much better hole in person
Speaker 1: than it is on TV too, like they don't capture
Speaker 1: on TV, like it's it's such a high point of
Speaker 1: the property and you know that's that's a cool green.
Speaker 2: But you gotta hit just you gotta hit two primo
Speaker 2: golf shots there, and that that front bunker is death.
Speaker 2: That's like the heart one of the hardest shots on
Speaker 2: golf because you get that back.
Speaker 6: Then so fast and you got to get it all
Speaker 6: the way to the back.
Speaker 2: It's it's like and you can't blade it because then
Speaker 2: you're you're gonna make double, you know.
Speaker 4: But I thought, I thought Rose hit a really good
Speaker 4: shot out of that bunker, like and it just it
Speaker 4: was still what twelve feet short or whatever. It was like.
Speaker 1: Somebody say like this is this is not a hard
Speaker 1: golf shot or something.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's not a bad spout to be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so back your.
Speaker 1: Question is so good. I had tears. There were there
Speaker 1: was some tears.
Speaker 6: It was just like.
Speaker 5: He was so just just unvarnishedly like ridiculously happy. It's
Speaker 5: just awesome to see anybody like that.
Speaker 6: He had.
Speaker 1: He really had an it's reaction to all of you
Speaker 1: could tell immediately if the shot was good or not.
Speaker 4: Like unusually and usually that's a problem with him because
Speaker 4: usually like he does that little you know, he does
Speaker 4: that little grown face or whatever it is. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 4: he does that after every shot and it doesn't matter
Speaker 4: if it's good or not. He does it after every shot.
Speaker 4: But today, no, he was it looks like he was
Speaker 4: chasing after a pretty much every good shot he.
Speaker 6: Yet, yeah, every good tea.
Speaker 2: It's true that I don't know, it's it's the Masters
Speaker 2: that back nine. I think that it just shows the
Speaker 2: how nice it is that there every year is hosted
Speaker 2: there because everybody knows the back nine and and it
Speaker 2: you know, the players know it, and you know, there's
Speaker 2: this just you know, the casual fan knows it because
Speaker 2: they watched this tournament every year and it always seems
Speaker 2: to deliver the goods, you know, for the moment.
Speaker 5: I know I'm going to sound like a PJ Tour
Speaker 5: shill here, but that's the same reason that I think
Speaker 5: the players has gotten so good as what seriously like,
Speaker 5: it's it's awesome for all a lot of the same reasons,
Speaker 5: like the fact that you know the holes and there's
Speaker 5: that's the place that like they have turned.
Speaker 6: You know what, We're not here.
Speaker 5: To talk about the players even we can say that
Speaker 5: forget it.
Speaker 2: It's all right, you can.
Speaker 1: It's the same reason why the President's Cup really took
Speaker 1: hold of those first a few times too. You know,
Speaker 1: they played it at the same venue this first couple
Speaker 1: of times around it. It really just captured people's hearts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, uh, you know, not the way this conversation down,
Speaker 2: but uh, you know, a couple of guys had a
Speaker 2: little bit more disappointing of a Sunday. So Spith and
Speaker 2: Speith and Ricky, lots of hope coming in, lots of
Speaker 2: lots of words wasted by sports journalists everywhere on uh,
Speaker 2: on Jordan and just just a tough tough day. I was,
Speaker 2: I was in on the rictator and you know I
Speaker 2: felt the burn.
Speaker 6: Yeah I was.
Speaker 5: I was ready to lay the house on Jordan this morning.
Speaker 5: I was completely wrong.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I I I was. I was. I was ready
Speaker 4: to do the same with with Ricky, right, I didn't,
Speaker 4: uh you know, I don't. I just I didn't. I
Speaker 4: didn't see it with speed. I didn't know. I don't
Speaker 4: know why. It was weird though, Like I've never seen
Speaker 4: him have such bad speed control on his on his putts.
Speaker 4: He just he didn't he didn't hit anything. He wasn't
Speaker 4: And it wasn't that he didn't hit anything, was that
Speaker 4: he wasn't particularly close to hitting anything. And I point
Speaker 4: today was it was just it was really bizarre.
Speaker 5: I think Shipnik, I think Shipnuk said, I think with
Speaker 5: him tweeted something that was basically like he it. It
Speaker 5: had the look that like he had just burned so
Speaker 5: much energy trying to get back to four under where
Speaker 5: he was that like today he just looked totally spent,
Speaker 5: like he just didn't have anything.
Speaker 1: Well really there, like there wasn't really a big opening
Speaker 1: at any point where like it felt like like I
Speaker 1: think if Rose would have really struggled on seven, eight, nine,
Speaker 1: but like when those when a lot of those guys
Speaker 1: and speech was already out of it by this point,
Speaker 1: but like were so ricky, and like even Casey and
Speaker 1: Peters and those guys, Like if if Rose would have
Speaker 1: stumbled on six or seven or eight and given him
Speaker 1: an opening while they were on yeah, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
Speaker 1: like that, that would have been huge psychologically. But I
Speaker 1: think he made those three birdies in a row and
Speaker 1: just kind of closed the door on them being legitimate contenders.
Speaker 5: Yeah, him to a point where they had to press
Speaker 5: too hard, too early or something. Jordan was pressing obviously
Speaker 5: the whole time. But yeah, yeah, I don't really know
Speaker 5: it was Sadu's.
Speaker 2: Sad I feel like speaf so he you know, he
Speaker 2: was really calm after he made that nine. He kind
Speaker 2: of just was just going about golf. He was just golfing,
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden he got into contention
Speaker 2: on what do you do? He made that birdie on
Speaker 2: what was it thirteen, and then he burdied fourteen yesterday
Speaker 2: on Saturday, and then on fifteen, you know you saw
Speaker 2: him just like something switch and he became like that
Speaker 2: really talkative speef where he's like, you know, getting at griller,
Speaker 2: getting at his ball, you know, and just a different mentality.
Speaker 2: And then you know, you hit that great shot on
Speaker 2: fifteen but didn't close the door. And I think there's
Speaker 2: something he got. He gets still like O C D
Speaker 2: almost over you know, stuff in contention. But I don't know,
Speaker 2: he's still great. I mean, his his track record even
Speaker 2: with this T eleven. I mean, he played awful and
Speaker 2: still finished eleventh, So I'm sure he's got to be considered,
Speaker 2: you know, him and Rose and certain you know, him
Speaker 2: and Rose probably are two favorites next year in DJ.
Speaker 4: Yeah if I yeah. I mean look unless unless he
Speaker 4: you know, somehow falls off a twift and and doesn't
Speaker 4: play well the rest of the year. I don't. I
Speaker 4: don't see how he's not the favorite to win next year.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's he's still he seems to. I was saying,
Speaker 4: I can't remember who I said this to the other day,
Speaker 4: but it's like it's like it's just like Ben Grenshaw, honestly,
Speaker 4: but it feels like he was made to play this
Speaker 4: course and I and I don't. I don't know what
Speaker 4: happened today other than it's just, you know, one of
Speaker 4: those things like he just had a bad day, you
Speaker 4: know again, he his his speed control today was so bad,
Speaker 4: and it just seems like he was he backed off
Speaker 4: a bunch of putts at least early. I don't know
Speaker 4: how much he didn't. They didn't show a bunch of
Speaker 4: them towards the end, but at least early on, he
Speaker 4: just didn't seem much he was comfortable at all with
Speaker 4: what he was seeing.
Speaker 2: So h do you guys, uh, what do you guys
Speaker 2: think about Rory moving forward? At the Masters. You know,
Speaker 2: is uh kind of once a course that you thought
Speaker 2: he could never lose at until that, you know, kind
Speaker 2: of at that implosion and and now it just seems
Speaker 2: you know, he just can't. Is that. You know he's
Speaker 2: got the game for it. It's just you know, whether
Speaker 2: it's the short putts, is it you know, the short putting,
Speaker 2: because that's what I think. You know, Sergio did so
Speaker 2: well today was limit damage and you know he you
Speaker 2: can't give away shots at Augusta like and then Magnifi.
Speaker 1: I don't think the putting was Rory's issue this week.
Speaker 1: Like it seemed like he never he never got comfortable.
Speaker 1: I mean, he hits a strage, but he never got
Speaker 1: comfortable with you know, kind of that drive you have
Speaker 1: to hit with taking taking a little bit off of
Speaker 1: it and just getting into the fairway.
Speaker 6: Like he didn't.
Speaker 1: He didn't seem never seemed like he just got in
Speaker 1: a rhythm at all.
Speaker 6: He was just That's what I.
Speaker 5: Agree, And that's kind of what it seems like with
Speaker 5: him there is I think it is a putting thing
Speaker 5: because I think he kind of like this is a
Speaker 5: very intangible way to look at this, but it seems
Speaker 5: like he misses a lot of like momentum putts like
Speaker 5: he'll get it going, get it going, get it going,
Speaker 5: He'll stick it to you know, six feet for Birdie
Speaker 5: and a miss and then it just kind of just
Speaker 5: feels like all the air goes out of the balloon
Speaker 5: and it just never gets it going where speed kind
Speaker 5: of feels like the opposite where it's like, you know,
Speaker 5: it's just every time he needs to make it seven
Speaker 5: foot for par to keep moment of going, he does.
Speaker 1: And it gives it more energy versus packing on Rory psychologically.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what it feels like. I don't know if
Speaker 6: something was off, something was off.
Speaker 4: I don't know. Every every time I saw, like every
Speaker 4: time I saw someone tweet out like a photo of
Speaker 4: like Shaw Tracer today from or even yesterday from what
Speaker 4: the Master's website, it was always like Rory just hit
Speaker 4: like a three hundred and seventy five yard drive and
Speaker 4: it's like, oh, well he made Bodie and it's like, well, yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, like I so like, I don't know if
Speaker 4: it's you know, again, he wasn't shown at all today,
Speaker 4: it seemed like on CBS, so it's kind of hard
Speaker 4: for it's kind of hard to tell. But it's I mean,
Speaker 4: it's not a it's not really a secret that he
Speaker 4: hasn't really been you know, hitting his wedges all that well,
Speaker 4: you know, it's it's it's it's something I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know if he needs to just like Tron said,
Speaker 4: if he needs to kind of take you know, dial
Speaker 4: it back a bit off the tee or whatever it is.
Speaker 4: But I still feel like his game is still too
Speaker 4: perfectly suited for this course not to win it, like
Speaker 4: when it at least want.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree, I think it's going to click. I
Speaker 6: don't know what it what it takes.
Speaker 1: I mean, how old.
Speaker 4: Twenty seven, twenty seven.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't expect him to be somebody that
Speaker 1: plays can do his forties. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: like for still relatively you know, like technically it's just
Speaker 1: entering his prime.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, but at the same time, you see, like what
Speaker 2: happened with Sergio. I mean, Sergio has you know, as
Speaker 2: almost as much talent as anybody in the world, and
Speaker 2: it he came into golf like with high actress. But
Speaker 2: but that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: Majors.
Speaker 2: He's won three, right or four, so you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know, it's you get these droughts and golf's the
Speaker 2: golf's a different kind of game where it's it's not
Speaker 2: like it's not reactionary like basketball. It's not reactionary like football,
Speaker 2: where you know, like it's you're making these split second
Speaker 2: decisions with no time to think you've got time before
Speaker 2: every shot. And I mean it's a crazy little game
Speaker 2: in that sense where weird things happened, bad bounces happened,
Speaker 2: bad breaks happen, and you know, you can play a
Speaker 2: whole great and make par And.
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess, I guess the argument for him
Speaker 4: not winning it is is something to the effect of, well,
Speaker 4: Greg Norman was perfectly suited to winning and he never
Speaker 4: did either. But but I don't think I don't know,
Speaker 4: I just I mean, look, I wasn't, you know, I
Speaker 4: wasn't actually wasn't born when when Norman was really going
Speaker 4: through either when when he was when he was trying
Speaker 4: to win it at his peak. But I mean, it
Speaker 4: just it just I would be shocked if he didn't
Speaker 4: win one. It really would be, Yeah, your.
Speaker 1: Boy had one?
Speaker 4: What what?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 4: What? What about him?
Speaker 1: It's seven birdies today?
Speaker 4: He is a freakishly good butter like he is. He
Speaker 4: is so good on the greens. I mean, I don't
Speaker 4: know that that doesn't this does not seem like a
Speaker 4: course that he had ever went on. But I mean
Speaker 4: he's he's a stud man. He's he's the real.
Speaker 1: Deal, Hedy. I mean, he birdie pretty dues, you know,
Speaker 1: the three of the par fives today, But then he
Speaker 1: had pirty seven, eight, nine and ten, which is pretty
Speaker 1: pretty solid, you know. And I mean had a couple
Speaker 1: of doubles earlier in the week. But this was his debut, right,
Speaker 1: This was his master's debut, right, yeap? And he was
Speaker 1: the only Canadian in the field.
Speaker 2: Besides weird Mackenzie Hughes too. Who are you putting all
Speaker 2: your stock in of the Canadians? Is it had one?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, no, it's it's had one. I mean, to
Speaker 4: be perfectly honest, like, I still think I still think
Speaker 4: Grahm Dallette has something there if you can figure out,
Speaker 4: like he's still a good ball striker. He just needs
Speaker 4: to figure out what he's doing around the greens. I
Speaker 4: mean he's I mean, there was he pulled out of
Speaker 4: a tournament last year because he had the yips. I
Speaker 4: mean that's I mean, if he if he can figure
Speaker 4: if he can figure out around the greens and with
Speaker 4: the putter, I think he can still be something. But
Speaker 4: had one had one's the guy for sure.
Speaker 2: What about uh that Corey Connor's kid seems like a
Speaker 2: player on on the web.
Speaker 4: Corey Corey Connors, there's a Taylor Pendrith just absolutely mashes
Speaker 4: the ball. There. There's it's it's getting better, there's no
Speaker 4: there's no doubt about it. I don't think, you know,
Speaker 4: we're not going to be filling that President's Cup roster
Speaker 4: anytime soon, but I mean it's, uh, it's getting a
Speaker 4: lot better, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this question. Would you say that
Speaker 2: this is the Mike Weir effect?
Speaker 4: Jesus Well, I'll say, you know what they I'll say
Speaker 4: this like people like I can I can see Tron
Speaker 4: just laughing right now. But you know, if you if
Speaker 4: you if you talk, if you talk to you know,
Speaker 4: golf courses and whoever else who are in you know,
Speaker 4: people who are in the game. The two things that
Speaker 4: they always point to are obviously Tiger having the impact
Speaker 4: that he had in the late nineties, but Mike we
Speaker 4: are actually playing well for that what four or five
Speaker 4: year stretch from like the late nineties into two thousand
Speaker 4: and three, two thousand and four, but he got to
Speaker 4: number three in the world, and it actually like he
Speaker 4: did have a big impact on on golf in this
Speaker 4: country for sure. If you if you, if you talk
Speaker 4: to guys like Hadwin in Hughes, they do they do
Speaker 4: mention we're quite a bit as as obviously a big influence.
Speaker 4: I mean they still usually mentioned Tiger first and everybody
Speaker 4: else would, but he's definitely had a big influence on
Speaker 4: the game up here for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, he's I mean I bang on weird a lot,
Speaker 1: but he's really it's obviously had a he had a
Speaker 1: he had a few hot really like historically good years there.
Speaker 1: How many more majors do you think he had? Sorry,
Speaker 1: how many more Masters do you think he plays in?
Speaker 4: But before he gets the water, Yeah, I mean he
Speaker 4: actually didn't play that bad this week. I mean he
Speaker 4: had that one. He was he was close to the cut,
Speaker 4: he was flirting with it for a little bit. I'd
Speaker 4: have to look it up. Well, yeah, he shot seventy
Speaker 4: nine on Friday.
Speaker 2: Larry just earned himself, like.
Speaker 1: He avoided the big number though I don't think he had.
Speaker 6: He didn't have a single double.
Speaker 4: I mean, look, if if they let they let Larry
Speaker 4: Mice play forever, I mean it's not it's not like, yeah,
Speaker 4: he's done, he's done well the last couple of years,
Speaker 4: but there was that stretch there too where he didn't
Speaker 4: do anything.
Speaker 5: I mean, one of my favorite things about this year
Speaker 5: is that Fred Couples is fifty seven and Larry Mies
Speaker 5: is fifty eight, and everyone looks at is like he's
Speaker 5: eighty nine.
Speaker 1: Making I kind of missed the days of like Charles
Speaker 1: Coody and like some of those guys going out and
Speaker 1: shooting like.
Speaker 2: Eighty eight eighty nine, and they were.
Speaker 6: Just kind of demented about it.
Speaker 4: But what what would what would Dary Player shoot in
Speaker 4: this course today? From from the Back.
Speaker 2: Tis God ninety five?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 5: I was telling you guys the other day had actually
Speaker 5: Buddy Tom Alter, friend of the pod uh, playing with
Speaker 5: Gary Player at his Part three course in a big
Speaker 5: Cedar lodge. Tron's plays Alter alters like a two handicap.
Speaker 5: I mean, he's a stick and Gary eat him.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: I meant, granted, granted, that was like a Gary player
Speaker 1: seth Raider signature design.
Speaker 5: Though, right, you guys, you guys want to talk about
Speaker 5: west Wood rise into the occasion today?
Speaker 2: You know what you you you already you already got
Speaker 2: torched by your you know, Westwood just being in it,
Speaker 2: in the thick of it all week.
Speaker 6: He was never in the thick of it. That's the point.
Speaker 5: He did exactly what I said he was going to do,
Speaker 5: which is like hang around and ash a huge check
Speaker 5: and never ever ever be you know, a factor.
Speaker 1: You know what, he beat He beat the most underrated
Speaker 1: player in the world by seven shots.
Speaker 5: Though that's true. Everyone's got a bad day, man, He's.
Speaker 2: He's beat I think he did. He beat Phil?
Speaker 6: He beat oh probably Phil.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he beatshil well after Phil.
Speaker 6: Had lost his chance to win. He packed it anything
Speaker 6: care honestly.
Speaker 1: I think Phil was just trying to stack up Crystal.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so uh so Sergio Sergio is out as
Speaker 2: best player without a major. Westwood just is just anchored
Speaker 2: in on one of those spots. But who else is
Speaker 2: up there? Like, is Coucher a legitimate case a best
Speaker 2: player without a major?
Speaker 4: He has he has a case? I yes, I mean
Speaker 4: because he doesn't.
Speaker 1: Play well enough in majors like he never can he never.
Speaker 2: Actually this is the third top five in Augusta. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but Andy won the players. He won the players.
Speaker 1: He gets it, y, he won the players.
Speaker 2: The players come on the best field in golf.
Speaker 6: He's one of the players.
Speaker 5: He's won the Memorial, he won a playoff event, he
Speaker 5: won the match play I think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got a w GC like.
Speaker 5: Stunted Tron, despite your despite your bulter, won two wg.
Speaker 2: So you know, is it is it Ricky?
Speaker 6: Now, it's gotta be It's gotta be the rictator.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, it's it's well, so that so that was
Speaker 4: my question. Then, like is there so statute limitations? Obviously,
Speaker 4: like Westwood was the guy he's gone at this point.
Speaker 4: Is it too early for It's too early for rom
Speaker 4: and Peters? Then, like you can't just know they can't.
Speaker 2: You can't be playing like your first time around certain
Speaker 2: venues and be the best player of that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but from a from a uh for being technical here,
Speaker 1: the best player to not win a major is probably
Speaker 1: John Roth. The best player in the world does not
Speaker 1: win a major, right now?
Speaker 2: What about Matsuyama, He's he's in there. Yeah, Paul Casey
Speaker 2: doesn't win enough Man more kind of there, kind of
Speaker 2: isn't really like a bona fide outside of West West
Speaker 2: was the only one that.
Speaker 4: You're like knocking them off.
Speaker 5: I mean, look at who the last major winners were, Sergio,
Speaker 5: Jim Walker.
Speaker 4: Henrik dj DJ.
Speaker 6: Yeah, isn't Can we talk?
Speaker 4: Can we talk about Patrick?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: Talk Patrick missing a cut again and still not having
Speaker 4: a top ten in any major that he's played.
Speaker 2: Is that hard draw?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 1: You can't that one to death on the l.
Speaker 4: I've told I'm Old Sally so many times that that
Speaker 4: that Reid is basically just the American Poulter, and time
Speaker 4: I say.
Speaker 1: That, all right, going back to Couture, Coucher has zero
Speaker 1: zero second place finishes in majors, one third place finish,
Speaker 1: three top fives all in the Masters. He's he's He's
Speaker 1: played forty five majors. He has eighteen top twenty fives,
Speaker 1: one top three, and out of all those majors, I
Speaker 1: don't think he's ever there's been one Masters that I
Speaker 1: can remember.
Speaker 3: Him actually having a chance, having a legitimate chase chance.
Speaker 6: They missed a really bad put on fifteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But of the of the players, I feel like
Speaker 2: he's the only guy that, like, you know, it's too
Speaker 2: young to put that pressure on Ricky at this point,
Speaker 2: you know, of like he needs to win.
Speaker 6: You know, Ricky played in I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean he's I played in since twenty three times four,
Speaker 2: so he's probably played in twenty majors.
Speaker 6: It's like, it's a lot of majors.
Speaker 2: Well, if you're if you're if you win and five
Speaker 2: percent of your majors he played in, you'd be one
Speaker 2: of the greatest players of all time.
Speaker 1: You know, all right, he's played, he's playing twenty two,
Speaker 1: he's playing in twenty nine majors, made twenty two cuts,
Speaker 1: and he's got two seconds, one third, and five top fives. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, granted most you know, the majority of those
Speaker 1: were in twenty fourteen, which was a transcendent year, and
Speaker 1: he really hasn't done much since then. But yeah, he
Speaker 1: just never really Ricky just never really got it in gear.
Speaker 2: This week, he never hit He's hitting it terrible. He
Speaker 2: was like this cuts, he was forty second in strokes
Speaker 2: gained approach going into today, and then he hit one
Speaker 2: green in the first six greens. I think he had
Speaker 2: hit four greens by through twelve, so you know, you
Speaker 2: just gotta hit greens to to make birdies and come
Speaker 2: from behind. It's especially with Sunday the pressure. But yeah,
Speaker 2: Patrick Reid, I really believe that he's got to ditch
Speaker 2: the draw to contend in majors because that's just that
Speaker 2: you can't. It's hard to hit it close when greens
Speaker 2: get firmer and firmer, and pins get more and more
Speaker 2: tucked because you're coming in with overspin and it. I
Speaker 2: think I think he's got to get a little bit
Speaker 2: more neutral of a ball flight. Like Ryder cups, he's
Speaker 2: great because the setups are extremely easy and set up
Speaker 2: to make birdies, you know, middle middle flags. But I
Speaker 2: think I think Reed's gotta gotta get a more neutral
Speaker 2: ball flight.
Speaker 6: That's a strong take. I like that.
Speaker 2: Think about DJ he started, he started.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Sergery Stenson, Fader. Don't that's the question.
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't know that he needs to necessarily
Speaker 4: get rid Like it's it's the type of thing, the
Speaker 4: type of draw that he plays, like he slings it
Speaker 4: all over the like, it's just it's like it's such
Speaker 4: an extreme draw that like I don't know, I'm I'm
Speaker 4: a little I'm also always like a little wary of
Speaker 4: guys who just like, Okay, well I'm just gonna try
Speaker 4: to hit a fade now. Like it's it's not like
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 2: Know, it takes a lot of work to get rid
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 3: Just such a veiled insult at Kimer. It's not a
Speaker 3: veiled sub subtweet.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 5: Let's say this real quick, by the way, when everybody
Speaker 5: writes their previews next year about like having to hit
Speaker 5: a draw Augusta, let's look at the guy that just won, yeah,
Speaker 5: Drion finished second, and the guy who.
Speaker 6: Finished second, and the guy who's won six times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, I don't know.
Speaker 6: That's one of my least if it takes.
Speaker 2: You look at that leader board almost.
Speaker 5: Read today by should they move the Sunday pain on sixteen?
Speaker 5: Can we talk about that?
Speaker 2: Take who should that Golf Digest dies?
Speaker 4: You want to you want to take that on Trump?
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think it even deserves words and
Speaker 2: time to be frankly honest. You know, let's say, hey,
Speaker 2: what was better today or last year's Open championship? Stanton
Speaker 2: Michelson Duel.
Speaker 4: Uh, it's it's it's it's Stenson Mendelson for me, like,
Speaker 4: I don't like. I obviously I was very happy to
Speaker 4: see the result today, but I mean I don't from
Speaker 4: a pure golf standpoint, there was I don't think I'll
Speaker 4: ever see anything better than what we saw lats oft
Speaker 4: year at the Open.
Speaker 6: I think it was today.
Speaker 5: I think today for me, just because I knew the
Speaker 5: course is so much better and you know what's going
Speaker 5: on and you know where the misses are and all
Speaker 5: that stuff, and like it just draws you in so
Speaker 5: much more. And I feel like Sergio is just such
Speaker 5: a better He's a better main character. I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 5: so I'll qualify that the story today is better. The
Speaker 5: story today is the actual physical golf was way better
Speaker 5: last year.
Speaker 2: Yeah it was.
Speaker 1: And they were making like long putts last year too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like they were like they were they were draining everything.
Speaker 6: I kind of was thinking about this.
Speaker 5: I kind of like that about today, that you had
Speaker 5: these two dudes who just ball strike the cover off
Speaker 5: the ball and it's so dicey on whether they're going
Speaker 5: to make the putts or not.
Speaker 6: That was so fun to watch.
Speaker 2: Because you're worried on every like three and four footer
Speaker 2: with those guys. I mean, I guess Stenson. I felt
Speaker 2: that same way with Stenson all last year through that
Speaker 2: Open Championship, every time he had a four footer. As
Speaker 2: the thing that was that was good about today was
Speaker 2: it went all the way down to the stretch. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know that's Stenson, the Stents and Mickelson thing. When
Speaker 2: he hit that iron on the par three that I
Speaker 2: thought he like pull hooked by the way he reacted
Speaker 2: and just handed the club to the caddy. But then
Speaker 2: at lands like eight feet away, it was over then.
Speaker 2: But you know today, I.
Speaker 5: Think they could have made today better was and I
Speaker 5: know I'm kind of contradicting what I just said, but
Speaker 5: the only thing that could have made it today better
Speaker 5: is if it was Sergia winning the Open for his
Speaker 5: first major. I don't know what I thought so much.
Speaker 5: It's just so much more his his style.
Speaker 4: So what is That's why I think it's the opposite though,
Speaker 4: because it was never it was never supposed to be
Speaker 4: this one, like if anything, it was never supposed to be.
Speaker 6: This and like Phil winning British, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well I didn't. I mean look today, like I said
Speaker 4: it earlier today too, but like at least on the
Speaker 4: front nine, it seemed like there was there was one
Speaker 4: player who was actually hitting good shots like Rose, until
Speaker 4: about what seven the first seven holes or so, it
Speaker 4: seemed like Sergia was the only one consistently hitting good shots,
Speaker 4: and then it was basically just Sergio and Rose the
Speaker 4: rest of the way, Like every other guy that was
Speaker 4: supposed to contend today basically faded and so like, I
Speaker 4: don't know, it's it was. It was a weird day.
Speaker 4: The story today is amazing, but yeah, I think I
Speaker 4: still think last years was probably a little better.
Speaker 1: So all right, So what's your prognostication on the next
Speaker 1: couple of months for Sergio?
Speaker 6: Does he just go into like.
Speaker 1: Laid back shots are relaxo mode or does he does
Speaker 1: he try to keep the moment. I'm going to parlay
Speaker 1: this into something.
Speaker 6: I don't know any of you. Have you been to
Speaker 6: Aaron Hills?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, what's what's look there?
Speaker 2: Hey? You know, I don't want to compare it to
Speaker 2: Chambers Bay.
Speaker 4: But I played it.
Speaker 2: I played it like eight years ago, so you know,
Speaker 2: it's been it's been a while and they've done some changes,
Speaker 2: but it's really long. It's like eight thousand yards from
Speaker 2: the back piece. It's like stupid and it's uh pretty well.
Speaker 5: One of the things that was most impressive today was
Speaker 5: how Sergio drove the ball, just how he just drove today.
Speaker 2: He's hitting it far all week too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how it has that much lag
Speaker 1: and the it doesn't like and he gets that much
Speaker 1: rule out of those drives.
Speaker 6: Like, yeah, they were just going forever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like like the ball would just anybody
Speaker 1: else in the world, Like you just have that kind
Speaker 1: of lag and get that steep on it, even drivers,
Speaker 1: and the ball would just blude on you.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He rotates, man, rotates, flag and rotate. But so from
Speaker 2: from here, you know what, what do you think uh
Speaker 2: as we go uh forward? Like, is anybody going to
Speaker 2: watch the Heritage or is everybody going to have a
Speaker 2: big hangover?
Speaker 1: We're going to the Heritage DJ and aren't going to
Speaker 1: the Heritage.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll be on the ground. Yeah, I'll be boots something.
Speaker 1: I love the Heritage, Dude. It's like the chillest week
Speaker 1: after the Cauldron that is the Masters. Uh, you're just
Speaker 1: hating on you know, you're hating on the RBC. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the the Royal Bank of Candidate.
Speaker 2: You know, you know, Who's prime, Who's prime for a win?
Speaker 2: Next week? Donald RBC Ambassador Matt Coucher fresh shot the.
Speaker 6: Last time, the last, the last one.
Speaker 1: TVC saw the last time that I stepped foot on
Speaker 1: the grounds at the Heritage Matt Coucher hold out on
Speaker 1: the eighteenth toll.
Speaker 6: That was the last shot I.
Speaker 1: Saw that the bunkhot to win, all right, Yeah, but
Speaker 1: the bunker shot that would have gone like forty feet
Speaker 1: past if it didn't hit the pin.
Speaker 6: Hey man, shoot shoot or shoot man?
Speaker 2: Well, hey, if that would have happened to speak too,
Speaker 2: if at the deer, you know, and he may never
Speaker 2: have gotten.
Speaker 5: So you know that's why, Man, the more you practice,
Speaker 5: the luckier you get.
Speaker 6: Right, I've heard Gary Player's name.
Speaker 1: Like ten times too many lately.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I hope you extend extend this week.
Speaker 1: No, I think Cuture and I we're gonna have at
Speaker 1: some point down the road, we're gonna have some sort
Speaker 1: of summit and and hash out.
Speaker 4: I need to be there for that summit, I really do.
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know what, I feel like the
Speaker 3: page has kind of turned already.
Speaker 5: I feel like knows it's inevitable that eventually he's gonna
Speaker 5: be gonna become a mac Coacher fan. But he's already
Speaker 5: he's too deep. It's like the Civil War. He's already
Speaker 5: like he's guys, he's already chosen his side, and he
Speaker 5: can't go back on his word.
Speaker 6: Down I might. Uh yeah, I'm gonna get him.
Speaker 1: Broiled in some sort of bets sometimes where I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be forced to work coatures like sketchers for like a year,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna notice.
Speaker 6: You're just gonna just keep going with it.
Speaker 1: And then I'm just gonna say to play another I'm
Speaker 1: gonna another eighteen.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So should we overrated and underrated? Thing out?
Speaker 2: You got? You guys want to do overrated underrated?
Speaker 6: That's a I thought, that's the Friday staple we'll do.
Speaker 2: We'll do three truncated version. We'll get it out of here,
Speaker 2: all right. We're gonna start off with has Thomas Peters
Speaker 2: gotten overrated?
Speaker 6: Oh? You starting?
Speaker 4: No, not at all. He's a stunt he's doing. He's
Speaker 4: the I can absolutely see him when in this tournament
Speaker 4: at least once. And I would absolutely think from what
Speaker 4: I at least from what I've seen about Aaron Hills, like
Speaker 4: I you can't be surprised if he actually was out
Speaker 4: in one.
Speaker 5: Thatthing in jim Yeah, I'm gonna say under underrated. Yep,
Speaker 5: that guy is just a phenom the Belgian rom ag.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'll never go overrated on him. That was
Speaker 2: a terrible one.
Speaker 4: That Okay, we'll go with. We'll go with.
Speaker 2: Jimmy Walker sneakily top twenty this week despite having mano.
Speaker 6: It mono, I missed that.
Speaker 4: I didn't even.
Speaker 2: Know that so overrated, underrated Jimmy Walker, Tron, I feel
Speaker 2: like you were ready to go on this one.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna abstain I have to say about Jimmy Walker.
Speaker 5: I don't I don't want to fall into a trap
Speaker 5: of saying everything's underrated.
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna say overrated on Jimmy Walker.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know, Like to me, like he he's
Speaker 4: that time major winner like Keiden or Duffner, and I
Speaker 4: mean he's he's a good player. I just I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think I think for the nets, like for the
Speaker 4: nets like two years, he's gonna be an overrated player,
Speaker 4: and then I don't know what that means going forward,
Speaker 4: but it's I don't know.
Speaker 5: I think he's kind of we were talking about guys
Speaker 5: earlier who you know, the regular PJ tour schedule is
Speaker 5: just so conducive to these guys who bomb and gouge
Speaker 5: and are a little sloppier and a little kind of
Speaker 5: you know, just not as not as tidy, not as
Speaker 5: major championship. I know full well that he won one
Speaker 5: of the last two majors, but the point, the point
Speaker 5: still stands. I think he's the guy that goes out
Speaker 5: and shoots you know, twenty six under in.
Speaker 6: Hawaii and and wins those events.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't think his legs are every picture I see
Speaker 1: of him, his legs are just super long. Crazy hits
Speaker 1: it far man, Yeah.
Speaker 2: He does hit it far all right. Uh Master's food.
Speaker 6: Oh that's the good one.
Speaker 1: Are we gonna make a distinction on it or just
Speaker 1: say it just lump it all in general.
Speaker 5: We're gonna lump it all in the whole actually stable TV.
Speaker 5: We're just trying to start a fight. Loved it all
Speaker 5: it together. H I'm gonna say a little a scoche overrated.
Speaker 1: I think the I think the eggs seld sandwich is underrated,
Speaker 1: but the pimento cheese is so overrated that it just
Speaker 1: drags it drags everything else down with it.
Speaker 6: I like the pamenta cheese. I'm in on it.
Speaker 4: I've I've actual so, I've I've never been, so I
Speaker 4: can't really, I can't really comment on it. I mean
Speaker 4: pimento cheese. It's it's not doesn't sound much. It's something
Speaker 4: for me at all. I know Shane Bacon's probably gonna
Speaker 4: kill me over that, but yeah, it's not for me.
Speaker 1: I hear they put bagged milk.
Speaker 4: The base, that would make it so much better, Like
Speaker 4: you have no idea.
Speaker 2: So so last one is gonna be a twist. What's
Speaker 2: the most underrated stretch of hole, Augusta.
Speaker 6: I mean three holes?
Speaker 1: Are we talking like three holes or like what.
Speaker 2: You can put you can just three We'll say, we'll
Speaker 2: say three hole stretch, underrated, three hole stretch. So you
Speaker 2: can't say, heymn corner, that's not underrated.
Speaker 4: If if I was gonna say, if I if I
Speaker 4: had to pick one, I think it's one, two and three. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Like I like, I love the first hole, like it's
Speaker 4: so so like it's so difficult. I don't know.
Speaker 5: That was awesome to watch on Thursday and Friday, just
Speaker 5: watching guys get ejected from to start their.
Speaker 4: Day and like to like two you should have you
Speaker 4: should have a chance to get at least one back
Speaker 4: and then like a potential you know, yeah, it's one, two, three,
Speaker 4: I don't I don't think there's any doubt about it.
Speaker 1: So I was gonna say three, four, five, just because
Speaker 1: I feel like people I don't know, I feel like
Speaker 1: two is properly rated. People give it it's due. Three
Speaker 1: doesn't get a whole lot of attention. Four, But I
Speaker 1: would say three, four, five, But four just kind of
Speaker 1: I don't know, worth too long now, and it's just
Speaker 1: the hole doesn't play as it was intended to be playing.
Speaker 1: I don't think but five. I think five is the
Speaker 1: most underrating holes on the course. That green is just awesome, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 5: I mean, this is an amen corner one with thirteen, fourteen,
Speaker 5: fifteen or like three of the best holds out there.
Speaker 1: That's such a bad take.
Speaker 3: That's you guys, know, I mean, you guys have already
Speaker 3: covered it. Though there's there's there's no all right talk
Speaker 3: about this. I'll tell you six seven, six, seven, eight
Speaker 3: is the worst one of the.
Speaker 1: Top two or three best part fives in the world.
Speaker 1: Number fifteen one of the top five or six best
Speaker 1: part fives in the world in my opinion, and then
Speaker 1: fourteen is a great hole.
Speaker 5: There's like literally no other stretches I could have said that,
Speaker 5: you guys didn't already touch on.
Speaker 1: So that's right, and you're trying to stay away from
Speaker 1: seven because seven is like a.
Speaker 5: No, Well, that's what I was gonna say, six, seven,
Speaker 5: eight is the worst stretch on the course.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as uh, I was gonna go one, two, three.
Speaker 2: I think fourteen so underrated. No, bunker's awesome hole. I
Speaker 2: think seventeen's underrated. I almost said sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, but
Speaker 2: I don't like six. Hey did you guys see the
Speaker 2: old pictures of sixteen the greens?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, sweet Cui unbelievable.
Speaker 2: I was reading an article today that I just I
Speaker 2: almost lost, like all hope for society. Golf WRX did
Speaker 2: a did a article interview with Robert Trent Jones Junior.
Speaker 2: It was it was called, uh, it was called like
Speaker 2: looking at Augusta National through like binoculars, and it talked
Speaker 2: about how they were the royal family and then he
Speaker 2: was like talking about the changes they made and they
Speaker 2: were like so yeah, we we we wanted to make
Speaker 2: instead of bunker You know, bunkers were supposed to be
Speaker 2: car crashes, so we decided to take out bunkers and
Speaker 2: put ponds in and you know, just like everything that's wrong.
Speaker 2: I see those.
Speaker 1: Pictures on Twitter yesterday.
Speaker 2: The guy was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's somebody
Speaker 2: d m me. It made a good point. If they
Speaker 2: went to that bunker style, the golf course couldn't be
Speaker 2: it couldn't be so perfectly manicured.
Speaker 6: Then yeah, there's a dispix. That's what threw me out.
Speaker 5: Was that mixed with like the azaleas and like all
Speaker 5: the flowerings like it?
Speaker 1: But how cool did like twelve look where the bulker
Speaker 1: just goes.
Speaker 4: Up in the hill.
Speaker 6: That's awesome. I love it.
Speaker 5: It's just that's what it would be a weird juxtaposition
Speaker 5: to have that and like perfect everything else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'd have to like overhaul the whole vibe and
Speaker 2: that's not going.
Speaker 6: To happen, Rob Collins for dollars.
Speaker 2: We're stuck with the ice cream scoop bunkers.
Speaker 6: Yeah, just take out all the times I'll say it. Andy.
Speaker 6: Can we talk about the pool?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I just I looked at it. The other
