WEBVTT - Ep. 130 - Max Homa 0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:08.119 Welcome to the Clubhouse with Shane Bacon. I'm your host, 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.399 Shane Bacon, and a intro a little different. Max Homa 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:13.800 is sitting next to me and Max. Normally this is 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:15.320 the time where I talk about like going to Bandon 0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:18.480 Dunes and spending the week their anniversary all that stuff. 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:23.239 But I'm gonna get into basically your somewhat wild week 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.279 at the Wells Fargo. But before I do it, for 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:28.760 the first time ever, I'm gonna have the guests do 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:30.760 the ad read. Do you think you can handle it? 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.120 I can read? Yes, Okay, So this is the ad read. 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:35.320 It's it's for the titleist pro V one. I'm a 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:38.239 little nervous, like you are you? Goodness? All right, I'm 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.280 gonna have you read this and if you mess it 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.080 up completely, we'll do it again. See where it says 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:43.959 read and I want you to put some I want 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.640 you to put some pizzazz into it. God, that's gonna 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:50.159 be the hard part. Uh. The all new pro V 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.720 one and probably one X have been redesigned for more speed, yet, 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:58.160 more precision yet and more consistency than ever before. Comparing 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.920 the two, pro V one has a after feeling lower 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.200 flight than the pro V one X and probably one 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.120 X has a higher flight with more spin and a 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:09.440 firmer feel. Both miles continue to provide proven dropped and 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:15.520 stop dropping stop greenside control, lasting durability and unsurpassed quality. 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.759 Beginning in March, both will be available in yellow. Well 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:22.520 that's great call to action. Prove how good you can 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:24.679 be t up the new pro V one or Probly 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.280 one X on your new round, on your next round. 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:32.399 Dang man, Oh so close? Are you Probly one or 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.240 Proby one X guy? Probably one white? Um, So, before 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:36.600 we get going, I do want to give you some 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:38.360 bad news because I know you've had a really good week. 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.360 Hey hit me okay. Um, I looked up before you 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.760 got here the a on Risk Reward challenge UH for 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.600 the week. It's something you and I've really talked a 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.280 lot about. Um, you dropped three spots. Um, you were 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.880 tied for seventy second going into the Wells far ago 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.559 you dropped for a tie for seventy five with Peter 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.760 u Wine. What do you have to say about yourself 0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.320 about how do you be tie with Peter? One of 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.600 my best friends. He obviously must be extremely disappointed as well. 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.200 What's funny is you were not the only person that 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.360 texting about seriously had more people. A couple other people 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.040 are like, hey, man, that a on all was fourteen 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.200 and you didn't play very well, and I I knew, 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.000 but uh, it's something I gotta improve on it. It's 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:16.880 kind of nice when you when you get home from 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:18.760 a win and and you can look at how to 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.079 get better because you know you want to improve and 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.919 that's obviously a glaring spot that I need to need 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.639 to improve on. So it's been three days. I mean, 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:28.600 you know, you and I were gonna talk on Monday, 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.920 and then you've got a whole bunch of stuff going on. Um, 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.040 just from a guy that's a professional golfer, which of 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.000 course is is the thing everybody aspires to be on 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.680 a PGA tour to um, you know, a PGA Tour winner. 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.440 What's the last three days been like? Um? Has it 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.440 been different than you ever would have expected? Has it 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.600 been somewhat similar? Has it been wild? What's it been 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.720 like to kind of go through the process of what 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.240 it takes when you win to kind of fulfill all 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.120 the obligations you have. Yeah, it actually is pretty different 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.640 as I think the first time my agent has actually 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.000 had to like do real work. You know, I don't 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.240 have corporate deals. I don't have all this stuff. But 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:03.919 you know, he had to keep me up to date, 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.640 you know, put together a schedule of all these interviews. Um, 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.200 you know I've I've I've done interviews obviously before, but 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.320 not back to back to back. I haven't had like 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.440 literal requests most of the time. I mean, you know, 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.560 I do stuff with you and railing up. Boy, it's 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.920 like it's a lot more casual all of a sudden, 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:22.680 you know, I got call in numbers and this night 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.800 it was on PJ to a radio like three times. 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:26.799 But it was a blast. It's it's a dream come 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.160 true even doing all that. I mean, it's so fun. Uh. 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.120 My fiance Lacey, He's asked me if I'm getting sick 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.639 of talking about it, and I am absolutely not. Well, 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.200 I mean, like, what's just so wild? Is you know you? 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.520 I mean, people, I think for the most part know 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.160 your story. I mean, you were one of the best 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.200 amateurs in the world, and then you struggled early on 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.160 in your professional career and um, you know something that 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:47.800 you I don't know how you did it. I mean 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.640 I I tried to play many to our golf, and 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.520 I mean I hit, I hit a moment with us 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.440 that I can't do this. Um. Was there a point 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.920 in your kind of journey through professional golf where you 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.640 thought to yourself like I'm never going to get here, 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.400 like I'm never going to get in contention at a 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.520 PGA Tour event possibly win. I mean, did you ever 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.520 have those moments of doubt, because it seems like maybe 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.120 you didn't. I mean, it seems how positive you've been 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.360 about it. Yeah. I think. Actually, how I've kind of 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.080 been trying to explain it is I had had a 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:17.080 million of those moments, but a million very small ones 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.920 and never one big one. I can't remember one time 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.680 where I was seriously sitting there like I really don't 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.240 think I'm gonna do this. It was more like I 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.240 don't want to do this, I can't do this. I'm 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.839 over it, and then like ten seconds later I'd be 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.919 like no, no, like you know, you're fine, just suck 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.000 it up. Um. I think my biggest benefit and all 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.040 of this, though, was that when I did come out 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.120 of college, Um, you know, my first pro event was 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.160 the Fries and I got ninth and played actually well, 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.679 and got my web card and then got my PJA 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.400 tour card, So I made a chunk of money that 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:51.240 was sustainable. Um. And I think a lot of people 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:52.919 who do go straight to the many tours. I I 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.359 don't get how a lot of those people can last 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.240 that long, because financially it is it is scary. I 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.039 was never fine. I mean it's all relative, but I 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.000 wasn't financially frightened about my future. But I figured I 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:05.880 could kind of keep putting it together at least for 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.400 a little bit. Um. So I think that's what really 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.599 helped me. I guess it was separate kind of my 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:14.360 story from from a lot of others. But yeah, it's 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.360 tough not to not to give up a little bit. 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.520 But at the same time, I mean, the worst year 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.200 I had, I was still on the web tour, which 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.159 is pretty cool. I did look at a lot of 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.080 people that my friends and others that were grinding it 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.840 out on the Latino tour in Canada. I don't ever 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.200 want to be a baby. There There wrest situations you 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.440 can be in. So I I sucked it up well. 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.200 I mean, like I was going to ask you about 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.440 the web tour later. I mean for people that don't 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.159 understand the talent level of the current Web dot Com Tour. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.080 You know, you were out there, you want on the 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.600 tour you battle these guys. I mean, you see these 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.919 commercials for the Web dot Com Tour about guys that 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.760 make it to the PGA Tour and win when major championships. 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:54.160 How close is the level of play when you compare 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:55.720 what you went through for a number of years on 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:57.880 the web to what you're going through now. I mean, 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.560 you're you know you've played with Dustin Johnson. You play 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.599 with Dustin riv You told me it was a pretty 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.520 cool experience. You obviously got a chance play with Rory 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.600 uh this past week at the Wells Fargo. I mean, 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:09.000 what's the difference, if there's any at all and kind 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:10.800 of the play when you were out on the web 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:14.080 versus what you see now. Yeah, that's that's a great question. 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.760 I get that a lot, and I think what I usually, well, 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.080 what I used to tell people is the depth is 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.479 the biggest difference between the PJ and the Web Tour. 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.840 I I don't know how to quantify this, but if 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.280 the cut at any given golf tournament was too under 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.120 at a WEB event, I think it would be four 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.240 underj Tovent. The median guy on the PJA Tour is 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.400 so freaking good. People don't understand. You go look at 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.599 whoever gets on the money List this year, which for 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.360 the first time will not be on my radar. That 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.760 guy is so freaking good it's stupid, all right. So 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.440 that's where it's a little different. But the top of 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.840 the top each week on the Web Tour, I think, 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.160 you know, the consistency might be are like the hardest 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.719 part out there, um, but the top of the top 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.760 that week, if you just could somehow supplant him in 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.720 the PGA Tour event, he would be near contention. Playing 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:58.839 with Destin and Rory there, that's a kind of a 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.920 different world, man. That was a I played with Roy 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.479 on Saturday and and I got Dustin for thirty six 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.640 at RIV And they were the first two people I've 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.719 honestly ever played with were And it's because of length, 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.640 I think. But I was seriously dumbfounder how good they were. Well, 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.240 you teld me a story about Dustin. I think he 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:14.960 was a bunk or what at fifteen at RIV and 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.120 you you played the course a lot, You're like, well, 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.520 that's a out of bounds. It's literally you I aim 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.280 so far off with the bunker to take it out 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.200 of play, and he hit it in there and even 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.320 my caddie looked at me. We were both waiting from 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.560 the layup, and uh, he got in there and hits 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.080 out and it goes you know, shoots straight up in 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.520 the air. If anybody's played there, the bunkers like legitimately, 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.200 like I would say like six ft d and he's 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:35.920 two hundred. I think I had hit a six iron 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.360 from the fairway. Uh. And so we had about and 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:40.760 he hits a thing and it gets onto the green 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:42.960 inside of all of us by the way, and I 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.280 walked over. We walked over and Joe Mike Cady hadn't 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:47.960 been looking, and he's like, we're destinated. I'm like, dude, 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.400 like think like fifteen ft and he goes no, and 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.120 I walked over. He's like he must have ripped an 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.320 eight iron to get out of there, which would been crazy. 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:55.800 And I went over there. I was what you hit 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.200 and he said six I I literally like I don't 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.880 even consider, like I don't know how to start with 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.600 that shot. And so that they you know, there's that's 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.360 the you know between the Web and the PJA. The 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.000 PJA tores some freaking stuff that's a little different now. 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.160 The Web gets some like Sam Burns last year. I 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.280 keep keep waiting for him to completely break out. He's 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.880 a freak. Um, But yeah, you don't have you know, 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:17.760 twenty of those. I think the PJA Tour is obviously 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.640 closer than twenty guys that kind of drop your job 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:22.880 a little bit. Um. You obviously we're gonna play in 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.080 Texas this week and you pulled out. We were talking 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:26.800 before we got going. You you were saying, you don't 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.920 know how how some of these guys that win a 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.800 lot can go back out the next week and like 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:33.960 be mentally into it. We were talking like after Speed 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.439 one that first Masters, he played Harvard Town literally the 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.600 next week, and I think through thirty six sols he 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.960 was either in contention or was right. The second ridiculous. 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.400 I mean, for you, if you had to be teeing 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.160 it on Thursday, which is tomorrow, I mean, like, how 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.440 would you be able to get your yourself mentally there? 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.800 I mean, is that a thing you're pretty shocked by? 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:53.480 With the other guys being able to do that so well, 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.360 I think it goes one of two ways. If I'm 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.599 just you know, kind of guessing. Um, you either go 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.960 out there free wheeling because who cares, um, and you 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.360 play great, or you go out there freewheeling who cares, 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.640 and you play terrible. You know, because I think the 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:09.120 hardest part would be the preparation Tuesday Wednesday to get ready. 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:10.880 Obviously you're saying thank you to a lot of people, 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.199 you know out there. I've been around a couple of 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.439 guys who haven't won, but like my buddy Taylor Gooch 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:17.800 had played really well in Tori and we played a 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.600 practice on the next week. Everyone's congratulating him and uh, 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:22.160 you know, so it's it's just a lot, you know, 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.720 You're you're you're kind of love in life a little bit. 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:26.760 I would say, you're a little less intense. But I 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.360 can see how you could do it. But I think 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.280 when you have your first one, it's a lot harder 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.040 than next week. I assume. I mean, I imagine that 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:34.840 if I were to win another one this year, obviously 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:36.960 I understand a little more and it wouldn't be such 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.440 a h I guess, like huge deal. Um, it would 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.320 still be a big deal for for myself, but I 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.920 guess for the for the media, whole world or whatever. 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.120 You get some guy who who hasn't done anything and 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.760 all of a sudden, you know, wins a golf tournament. Uh, 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.720 it's a lot more obligations for me. The next one 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.520 would feel a little bit more normal. But yes, I 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.240 think the most impressive thing about all these these top guys, 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.280 you know Justin Jordan and Rory Dustin that they when 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.600 a tournament, it really is like all right, cool, what's next? 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.440 And they keep plugging because you know, the motivation I'm 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.040 sure it's hard for them at some point. Um, and 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.080 also just the focus to be like, yeah, well that's 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.440 just another w I'm gonna go get get another one 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.719 next week. Yeah. Another obligation you had was this Monday. Um, 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.120 you you're kind of supposed to upset about it. You're 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.960 supposed to caddy for this for this guy that you know, 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.320 um at Phoenix Counch Club as he prepares to win 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.640 the US Open, and uh, and now that's kind of 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.880 gone out the window. I I'll tell you this. I 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.320 had a lot of random people on Twitter throw themselves 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:36.880 into the fray. I mean they were like, well, we'll 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:38.880 jump in and take take the loop for Max, I 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.520 was like lightening my bag, Harry bag for you. But 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:46.199 is it while I mean we were literally joke texting 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.319 about you know, like you've got a couple of weeks ago, Um, 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.400 then we'll caddy and you'll have a couple of weeks off. 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.320 I mean, like I know that winning well, I don't know, 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.320 but I could only imagine winning something like this is 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.600 life changing. But it's also like a media changing. I mean, 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.959 because you've got to change your schedule. You know, you've 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.320 got to like find homes and get ready for a 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.800 major championship now. And I mean you've got to be 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.959 going into it with confidence. I mean, you're playing great, 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.000 great golf. I texted you the other day, I said 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.120 you were number one in drugs gained for the week. 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.359 You should keep doing that? Yeah, for sure? Yeah, yeah, 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.120 it is funny. I am no, Lie, Shame won't believe 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.000 me on this. I know, Lie. I thought about it 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:25.199 that how I could get home and do and I 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:26.720 swear all my life, how can you get home and 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.560 do it? But if it was anywhere but New York, 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:30.360 because it really was far Because to be honest, I 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.160 don't need to be at the golf course. The whole week. 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.120 You know, I I don't really want to. It's gonna 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.320 be a lot of work. I've played one major before 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.000 and I remember being way too tired by Thursday because 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:40.840 you're kind of soaking it all in. So I was like, oh, 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:42.400 I can actually probably stay, but if I you know, 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.840 if I stayed Monday, there's no there's no way to 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.840 get there fast enough. But yeah, I felt bad about 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.240 well that and also missing a buyer, and I don't 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.200 like being the guy that withdraws late. But honestly, um, 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.400 I emailed the term of director to day and just 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:59.120 kind of apologize and explain myself. But uh, um, it's 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.240 one of those things where's I've never picked my schedule 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.160 and and and it's it feels good, like it feels 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.840 good to know that I'm in tournaments. I looked at 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:10.000 the commitment sheet two days ago and it was honestly funny. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.240 I every single tournament that there's ever been, there's a 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.400 you know, you have ranked from a number of one 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.280 to whatever, and if there's a hundred and twenty people 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.400 out in the field, you know, I'll always be even 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.800 if I'm in the tournament I'm one fifteen, I'm always 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:23.320 looking at I looked at him, and every single one 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.600 was between the number of ten and fifteen. And that 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.120 was the coolest part because I'm like, all right, I 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.760 can actually make some decisions for my career now, not 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.200 just go where they tell me to go. And I 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.120 took advantage of that, you know, being able to skip 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.640 Buyron and and get ready for my first major. I'm 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:38.880 I'm playing well, and I know that golf course suits me. 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.320 I've watched Tiger play play there enough times to know 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.120 what it's about. So I'm looking forward to getting back 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:46.480 back out there and kind of keep the ball rolling. Yeah, 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:51.120 I mean, now your schedule foren I mean again, these 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.079 are these are things that I think golf fans, I mean, 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.600 I don't understand. Is you know your three days post 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.480 victory now you're I mean you you schedule change now? 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.480 I mean, do you you now kind of go back 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.440 through the rest of the year and go, all right, 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.520 I'm probably gonna skip this week, probably an event you 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.720 would have played. Maybe I'm gonna play here the event 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.240 you maybe wouldn't have got into. I mean, if you 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:11.800 looked at that yet, is that something you've kind of 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.040 run through yet or no, Yeah, we did that yesterday. 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.320 I didn't really honestly, it was so crazy about winning, 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:19.040 as I swear on my life, the only things I 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:20.840 thought about coming down the stretch when I was like 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.319 trying to keep those thoughts out where p G A 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:28.360 uh and you know the money slash FedEx Cup, like 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:29.920 you know, getting the playoffs stuff like that, you know, 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.280 keeping my card. So uh. I never thought about the Masters. 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.680 I remember my buddy John called me and the first 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:36.959 thing you said was You're going to the Masters, And 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:38.559 I was like, holy cow, I forgot about that. I 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.040 didn't know I was going to you know, Hawaii. And 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:42.880 then I found out I'm getting in the w g 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.400 C Memphis, and all these things are to happen, and 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.400 I can't really believe it all. I just honestly thought 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.760 about the p G A. So yeah, it is interesting. 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.200 I went through the whole schedule yesterday and realized that 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.720 there's a couple events I'm gonna skip. Uh. The funny 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.600 part about the schedule though, is since since I'm not 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:01.640 in the you know, US Opening British Open yet, um like, 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.000 there are still some events that I was already gonna 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:05.760 play that I can keep playing, which I like because 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.160 I've been there before. Um, but yeah, there's a couple 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.320 of different ones, like you know, the Barracuda and Reno. 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.320 I've played that every year. I really enjoy it. But 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.280 I mean, there's a w g C and I'd rather, 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:18.560 you know, get to play for guaranteed rounds every honest 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.400 little stuff like that. And honestly, the coolest part is actually, 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.120 for the first time ever be able to plan for 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.840 the playoffs and not go to the Web finals. That 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:28.960 is the coolest feeling in the world, because I've done 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.280 that every year for as long as I can remember, 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.040 and it really really isn't fun. How many gifts did 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.600 you go through before you set along? The Jordans shrug? Okay, 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.160 though this is gonna be the one, the one funny thing. 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.400 But I thought about it on Friday. Did you really 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.080 didn't know if I was gonna write I was gonna 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:47.960 do this shrug or if I was gonna just write 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:52.800 Jordan's shrug dot Jeff. I don't know why it hit me, 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.320 you know, I I I've learned a cool lesson with 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.120 one of my old roommates in college and now the 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.600 assistant coach at cal Mina. He uh, he had won 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.920 the pack pack tens uh, you know, earlier in his 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.120 in his life, and he used to tell me before 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.400 I go into into rounds where I was leading um 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.880 in college, he'd say, hey, let yourself drift for five 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.080 ten minutes and then let it go, so like, let 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.640 yourself enjoy it. So I'd sit around at night on 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.760 Friday after you know, I had gotten into contention, and 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.200 I was sitting there like, all right, you know, what 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:22.400 do you do? What would you do if you win? 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:23.800 Are you gonna fist pump all this stuff? Like I 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:25.480 let it dream? And then I'm like, well, I got 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:26.760 this Twitter kind of like what are you gonna do 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.320 with that? Like people are gonna be blowing you up? 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:29.520 And I was like, all right, you know what, I'm 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.360 gonna keep it super simple. It's not gonna be some 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.520 corny thank you. It's just gonna be a what the 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.040 heck just happened? I can't even explain it. Well, what's 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.360 funny is I was listening this on Monday. I was 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.360 listening to your No Laying Up podcast from October, which 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:42.680 is great, by the way, if you haven't listened to 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.360 that when it's awesome, just because I think when you 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.480 kind of like juxtaposed that to now you know when 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.040 you're you know you were happy then, I mean it 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.880 was a it was a big stepping stone for you. Then. Um, 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.400 you mentioned the shrug in that podcast you mentioned to 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.400 Jordan's I don't even remember what it was about, but 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.520 I remember I was listening to it. I was like, man, 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.840 that must be like his favorite his video ever, m 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:08.200 J transcends everything you shouldn't You should just from now on? Nbhi. Yeah, 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.480 your Twitter accounts like they have a lot, so you 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.120 need you need to like you need to like, uh 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.800 like have some big moment where you stepped past a 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.840 big name and it's the iverson Jim, Like that's the 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.840 only way you communicate from now on. Um, I saw 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.600 Rex Hoggard said, Uh, Tommy the sort of reached out 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.600 to you. Um, is there anybody else like big name 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:28.160 that hits you up or since you a text or 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.320 called you or anything like that? Pretty cool? I got 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.440 a lot of them that shocked me. Um. Andre Iguadala, 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.280 who I had met a while back, and he's actually 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.000 boys with Justin Thomas, and you know I've been Andre 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.200 probably know this, but I mean I was around Justin 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.200 when he got Andre sin in my jersey and he 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:44.840
