WEBVTT - 2026 Masters preview live from Augusta 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.160 Now, The Shotguns Starting Golf is full of mathematics. There's 0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:06.240 a lot of a lot of setup work that we 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:08.200 have to do in order to make a tournament work. 0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.120 So I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:19.320 we do a shotgun start here and alright, alright, alright, 0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:25.560 dent no man, darn your. 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:43.520 Greetings. Are welcome to a Wednesday edition of The Shotgun Start. 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.760 It is April eighth, Andy, how we do it? 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:52.360 Frenday not doing fantastic. I gotta say the weather has 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.560 been au and just a wonderful. 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:59.120 Mood down here, very just chipper. It's incredible, It's incredible. 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.639 But that's what everybody wants. It's weather talk off the bat. 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.440 Weather talk, Dan Hurley losing things. Things are looking up 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.040 in the world. Big ten gets their first basketball title 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:09.480 in twenty six years. 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:15.160 Double Dipped, you got women's the historic powerhouse of Westwood, California, 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:20.000 getting on Sunday, men getting on Monday. Dan Hurley crying 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.640 in his beer Monday night. So that's good. You're happy 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:23.119 about that? 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:27.720 Yeah, things are looking up. I'm pumped about this, masters too. 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.800 I am too. There's been like a a few media 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:34.280 members who shall remain nameless kind of come up there. 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.640 There's not a lot of juice. Is there anything happening? 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.440 It's like, well, maybe like if there's nothing happening, that 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.040 that kind of means it's gonna sound like sort of 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.679 a Cohen like everything is happening. That's a good You 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:49.560 know that that sounds sort of incoherent. But if nothing's happening, 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.760 that means everything. You know, maybe having no Tiger here 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.920 is maybe a decent thing. Having Phil prants around maybe 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.800 like maybe we're just focused on an incredible tournament. The 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:06.480 weather is pristine, perfect, It's been brisk the last two mornings, 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.440 supposed to be tomorrow and then heat up as the 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.080 weekend goes, and not a drop of rain really in 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.360 the forecast. It looks like a great golf tournament. It 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.079 will be allowed to be played this week. 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.680 I mean, the reality is is why it feels juiceless, 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.640 is that we had, you know, the story that really 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.920 dominated the sport for the last ten years has been 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.480 lifted off our plates. The idea of when Rory McElroy 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.560 will get the Masters and the Grand Slam done. It 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:38.480 also turned into when's he gonna win a Major? That 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:42.440 being removed has opened up. It allows the whole tournament 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:46.320 to breathe. I think there's so many fascinating subplots of 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.760 this tournament and I'm excited to dive into it. But 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.440 you know, you got a lot of guys playing really 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.760 good golf, and and you know a lot of guys 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.440 that have played really good golf out Augusta playing well. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.799 And I think it's going to serve up with the 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.120 combination of the weather and what the course is going 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.360 to get to. You know, just like off the top 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.480 here in the golf course is just playing faster than 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:16.040 it has in the fairways in particular. 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.560 Why is that you think mowing They're not mowing hard 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:21.280 the tea or what you know. 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.320 I feel like I can use this. Joseph has has 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.960 given me access to use this. Ryan Girard told him 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.720 that that you know, they're able to putt from around 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:35.120 the green to the mow heights bend lowered. So I 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.280 had another player, uh say that you know a place 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.680 they usually hits mini drivers short of the bunker on 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.880 too ran into it this this week, so that mo height. 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:46.960 I think it's going to be a little bit less 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.480 of that into the grain field just because they've lowered 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.880 the mow height, and uh, they may not say that 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.320 they did that, but it appears so based off of 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.400 how players are playing the golf course and how they're 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.760 seeing the golf course play. So you know it's gonna 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.000 be it's gonna play a little bit different. But God, 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.400 they got this weather to the spot where we're gonna 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.800 get to see exactly what the green jackets say is 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.800 that is the ideal Masters set up because of the weather. 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.039 I don't want to jinx it, but it looks like 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:18.760 there's no rain coming for a while. 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.400 Yeah, and it's been a dry Georgia. I've been a 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:25.000 dry winter early spring for Georgia like they haven't. It's 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.640 not like it's been drenched. And of course we know 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:32.279 Augusta can figure out a way to change the condition 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.920 of the course in rapid speed, whether they get a 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.680 lot of rain or not, or or even if they 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.040 get nothing, they can they can change it pretty quickly. 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.520 And it seems like they sort of have restrictor plates 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.640 on it right now, just for the practice rounds. This 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.000 is often the case, and that sort of cliche goes, 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.120 whatever you practice on may be very different by the 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.359 time that the shots start to count and as you 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.560 progress to Sunday. But yeah, it's all set up. I've 0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.320 just been like, it's been a fabulous first whatever, thirty 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.960 six forty eight hours we've been here. You're reminded of 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.200 like how it is, you know, the I think some 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:10.960 of the analysis and the coverage has gotten too granular 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.200 to be honest, too far fetched, too esoteric. I'm always 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.760 looking for like interesting angles or just good stories, and uh, 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.800 like it's the it's so incredible, how much bigger it 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.600 is than anything else in golf, right, and so much 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.520 of that is how unique it's unique approach, and however 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.200 it deals with tickets, and however it deals with TV 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.839 and all these things, and but one of those is 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:37.320 just being here. You're reminded immediately how it's just so 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.320 so different from anything else in golf, mostly for the better, 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.280 almost exclusively for the better. And that notion of like 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:49.600 everybody here, including the players, and is exceptionally happy to 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.440 be here. I would say the loan maybe toss up 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:56.080 for that Rory in recent years has been removed. He's 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.480 obviously very happy, you know. Maybe he was more anxious 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.119 or angsty in recent years, but I think it's everyone 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.359 I think it's now universal thing, whether it's fans or 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.360 patrons you meet, it's just all the players are so 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.240 ecstatic to just be here, even if it's you know, 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.960 a lot the ball ceremonial role, or it's a contender 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:13.599 like Prices. 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.159 What are you talking about with alaha ball and he's 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.159 got an important job this week. We'll get to that 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.200 later in the storylines. Nobody's talking about right, I love it, 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.719 but uh yeah, I would just add in everybody's happy 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.600 to be here and everybody's actually present. It's the it's 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.760 that's the difference. The masters sauce. I think in the 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:35.680 modern uh sports landscape is like the beauty of no 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:40.200 phones on site is died. You know. It's almost like 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.560 cliche to talk about it in a way because it 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.440 gets talked about all the time. But it is just 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:49.680 a wonderful, wonderful experience to be with people and have 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:53.200 everybody be fully engaged in what they're doing, you know, 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.919 whether it's conversation or whether it's watching golf. You know, 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:03.160 it's it's amazing, like you know, you create these vivid memories. 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.440 And it was funny. I got reminded of one lash 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.600 from last year just yesterday, and it's like, remember us 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:13.880 watching that shot from that spot, and I was like, 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.520 you know, a flood of this like vivid memory came 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.800 into it because I was actually there. I was just 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.800 like sitting there in the moment, watching and experiencing it. 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:27.720 And it's just like a great reminder of all technology 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:28.920 isn't always good, you know. 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:31.480 I mean, I don't know. I like being able to 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.000 hit it off the toe three hundred and ten yards 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.600 down the middle. That technology is good. It's very far giving. 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:43.120 I enjoy it. So the Bob Manifesto, the Bob Manifesto, 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.640 a lot of you know, trendy money coming into Bob, 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.680 to Pj's chagrin. Pj's anxious about all the people on 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.960 the Bob and cam bandwagons. He's like, it's over. I'm done, 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:56.320 I'm out of here. It's over. 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.920 I feel bad for PJ and Joseph with what cam 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.920 be coming. But he did give a great press conference. 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.360 I think he's getting, you know, this thing that happened 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:09.680 with Scottie. And we're so quick to to label players 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:14.400 boring or dial tones and and and their infancy on 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.560 the PGA tour. But it's like, okay, like you get 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:19.880 used to having a mic in your face all the time, 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.040 and you start to see Cam Young like he's starting 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.040 to deliver some good questions, good answers. 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.160 I didn't catch. That's one of the few I didn't 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.240 catch because I figured the boys had his covert in 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:29.200 that press conference. 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:30.160 But if you've been. 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.160 Paying attention to Lunch with the Boys, you saw there 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.400 was some some zip there and some interest in some brains, 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.319 and some thought, uh, he's delivered in those settings. 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:39.880 So that's good to do what you just said, if 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:43.040 you pay attention to the boy Lunch with the Boys, Yeah, 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.120 if you'd seen it, who doesn't pay attention? 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.120 Well maybe with the boys, not enough people, not enough 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.000 people will come in and ask, you know, but all questions. 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.520 I suppose, all right, we get to the top storylines, 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:58.760 the top contenders here, as a preview podcast might do. Yeah, 0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:03.800 I think the number one story is probably Rory McElroy. 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:07.280 I guess you know. Ranking these is like ranking the instructors. 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.880 It's very very arbitrary. It don't actually mean one's more 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:10.640 important than the other. 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.960 But how dare you not put a live guy? 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.000 Yeah? That means I'm hating on live. I actually think 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:17.640 that I said that on Sunday. I thought that was 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.600 the most interesting dynamic coming into this pot. This this 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:25.200 Master's rory. He's back. He talked today, said if we 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.120 never start the next Masters again, I'd be okay. Whereas 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.600 before it's like, can we start the next Masters? Like 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:34.199 in a minute? These Tuesday and Wednesday is interminable, getting 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:38.160 to the shots and getting into the tournament. A good 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.200 press conference, that that's how we want to talk about 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.640 press conferences. But he seems to be loving and reveling, 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.320 and who wouldn't be in his position of defending Champ. 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:51.000 I mean, just a completely different human being at the 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:54.719 press conference. You know, they they last I guess I 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.240 think this is my fifth year, but the last four 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.760 have been in this tense of the press conference, like 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.760 you know, that's just air hanging in the room of uh, 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.320 is this guy going to get this done? You know, 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.760 seemingly most people in the room wanting him to get 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.880 it done. But but you know what, what's it gonna be? 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.200 What's gonna happen this year? And and now, I mean 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.360 I loved his crack about about the Irish food. I mean, 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.040 he was he was laying down jokes. You know, he 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:27.599 is he was light hearted. Yea, yeah, and uh, I 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.120 gotta say, I I think I've turned on. I was, 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.520 you know, he hadn't done a ton of stuff this year. 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.840 He's played okay, obviously finished runner up at RIV I 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.960 think the bay Hill Tournament he probably was trending. 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:41.240 To be a. 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:47.120 Real figurative uh uh persona in the in the closing 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.480 stretches of that tournament before he hurt the back and 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.200 then you have the players, which is like kind of 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:57.199 like an incomplete right, Yeah, and you know that you 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.760 it threw it throws you off the scent of him. 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.320 But I think he's got a real shot of defending. 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.080 And I don't know, I know that's not like going 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.959 out on a limb, But I the more and more 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.520 I obviously watched him in the press conference, in the 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:15.360 little golf I watched of him, he looks really sharp. 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.600 In particular, the thing I was impressed with was the 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.959 short game, hitting shots around the greens. He's like basically 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:27.600 almost holding everything he was hitting. And I think he's 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.040 just prime for a really good week. And I think 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.080 he's kind of like you know, you listen to that 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:37.800 Amazon doc and unlocking that that feeling of I don't 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:41.760 have to play perfect to win. I think is a huge, 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.040 huge piece of this for him. And he knows like 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:49.079 he made a ton of mistakes last and he's still won. Yeah, 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.400 and I think that's got to be a pretty freeing feeling. 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.520 And uh, I think he you know, listen, I wouldn't. 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.320 I know, he's he's fourth in odds. 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.320 Oh well, then just forget about it. Let's just not 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:02.079 even watch it. 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.760 Well, I mean that was the thing last year. You know, statistically, 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.839 nobody's ever come back from you know what, was he 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:07.839 seven down in the. 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:11.400 First round something? He was even right twenty of the 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:12.720 last three rajors. 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.640 So we stopped playing the game. We've got to stop 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.439 playing the game. But I would, I would, I would 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.320 bump him up on that board. So yeah, I think 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:24.400 there's bigger questions about about Bryson to Shambeau and rom 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.760 and you know, like Scotty, there's some questions there, like 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.520 I don't think you're going to win this tournament with 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.720 the with the way the golf course is primed up 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.439 if you're not hitting really good iron shots. 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.320 It is interesting for Rory. I want to say it's 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.960 opened up for him, But like that back, you know, 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.600 thing doesn't creep in and we're like, oh my god, 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.280 he's going to go back to back with the way 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:47.120 that the other top names and contenders are playing. Yeah, 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.800 he seems it's it's interesting to watch him go around 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:54.880 now right, and you're trying to articulate something that is 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.560 not definable. It is not is to the definition of 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:02.720 intangible tense. And we watched him at three go round 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.959 and he's just like three a very very important hole 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.760 to practice short game, clearly, and he's just flipping them 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.160 to two feet and putting them like right on his 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.640 marks from across the grain into a left pins like 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.520 right in the jar at perfect pace. And he just 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:23.599 seems like the short game, like you said, seems incredibly 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:28.080 dialed in. I know the players thing. It's just sort 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:31.880 of like a proof of concept that you can It's 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.680 the opposite of what we've seen from Colin Morrikala this week, 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.560 to be frank, like, he had speed left the field 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.840 and strokes gained off the tee. His game was not 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.600 sharp and he finished T forty eight or whatever. I 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.880 think that's what it was made the cut. So I 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:49.480 just like, I'm it's not ideal. I suppose that he 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.840 hasn't made a PGA tour start in about a month, 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:56.080 But it seems like it's his. It's his to repeat again, 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.360 and who knows once he gets past the whole Champs 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.840 dinner tonight, sounds like he's gonna be Really he's put 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:06.560 a lot of thought into that. I think he probably 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.600 wishes Tiger and Phil were there for different reasons based 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.360 on what he was saying today, and I don't know, 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.280 you know, just talk about just having all the great 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:16.680 champions in history there. 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:18.719 Do you think he wishes Jacob Bridgeman was there? 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:22.720 Why because he's number one in the world or. 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.840 What because he has such good thoughts on Tiger. 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.680 We'll get to that. Un quotable. The most insane question 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.680 of the week goes to who Jacob Bridgman? Who could 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.920 have saw that coming? Figured it would be you know, 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:39.600 Bryson or somebody. Yeah. No, he seems like a very 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:47.000 very strong, strong contender to repeat. I think having seventeen starts, 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:52.120 it's a massive, massive deal. And where is like literally 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.920 twelve months ago from now, it was like a sort 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:58.520 of boa constrictor, like like ripping at him or like 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.040 squeezing him, And now all of a sudden, it's like 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.400 the biggest asset ever. It's an interesting dynamic how you 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:08.360 can just flip it like that, because it is. It 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:13.040 is a huge advantage. Now with the blend that the 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:17.119 sort of mental strategy and the mental weight, the emotional 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:20.560 stuff gone, it seems like all of a sudden, seventeen 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.880 starts as a massive deal combined with the talent of 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:23.640 where his game is. 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.720 I mean just look at the lead up here, right, 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.960 and I mean you look at what Ernie used to 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.160 what he said about the place, like it's just like 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.920 a torture chamber for me, you know, it's just where 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.840 everything goes wrong that can't possibly go wrong. That was 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.080 the road that Rory was heading down, and you saw 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.600 it from his actions like he was he was spending 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:49.040 as little time as possible here. Yeah, and then this 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:53.360 year he's just around, you know, I think like he 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.320 was so down to business last year it was like, 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.000 you know, you could see you in his own world 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:01.720 and maybe this is a reason to fade him, but 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.200 I think it's just more of the comfort level and 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:08.400 like reveling, you know, enjoying the moment, which is you know, 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.600 half the battle with golf. You have to be able 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:14.920 to like laugh about the stuff that happens. But you uh, 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.160 you see it. You know, he got here on Saturday 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:23.040 last year. Last year, he got there on Tuesday afternoon. 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:25.920 My favorite was the press conference. 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.200 Harry was wearing eighty I think he was wearing eighty 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.560 seven his caddy my share, so which means you're the 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.080 eighty seventh player and check. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.480 Kid, yep, yeah, I love. The best was the press 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.240 conference where like they quick walked us right the opposite 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:40.720 of the day, where like Rory's on his way to 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:42.280 the in and then he was already down there and 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:43.840 then he was out right away. They gave him five 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:47.240 questions and got all the big fat sports writers tumbling 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.000 down the stairs to get to him, and then he's gone. 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.520 This was quite the opposite. He was holding court today 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:52.480 in his green jacket. 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.960 So what's storyline two for you? 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:59.200 What's I don't know, Scotti contender number two. I think 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:01.760 I'm gonna group the boys together the next that will 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:02.480 go Ron Bryce. 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:06.000 I can't believe that you put Scotty to and you 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.080 don't have Rob and bryceon ahead of them. 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.879 Well, they can come for me if they want. You know, 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.160 if you're listening to Pat Reid. They haven't been playing 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:17.119 real golf if you listen to Pat Reid. So what 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.240 am I supposed to make? That's not me live bots, 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:20.080 that's Patrick Greed. 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:22.440 That was a guy they. 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:27.480 Were defending for years. Scotty's number two. He's got Remy 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:30.080 in tow so who knows what comes with that? All 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.480 all the motivational perspectives Remy gives them, you know, pump 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.760 up win one for Remy speeches as he walks out 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:36.719 the door every morning. 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:41.560 Do you think there's a potential Gary Nicholas like situation 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.600 where you know, Gary Gary shovels snow like everybody else. 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.520 Do you think that that Scotty if thigs go south, 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.359 he could blame that. The baby's been getting up and 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:56.399 then you know, he's the first first couple of weeks 0:17:56.400 --> 0:18:01.400 are rough, rough times. I don't like the baby's got 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.359 to be like a separate wing of the house. 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:07.760 Right, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I don't understand. Well, yeah, 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.359 he's had two kids and both of essentially been at 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:11.919 or on the masters. 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:13.959 Yeah I didn't even think about that. 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:20.600 I mean, whatever, that's great, but but now, yeah, I'm 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:22.760 sure he's taking care of himself. And that the baby's 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.240 not going to impact. They'll they'll figure it out. He's 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.200 got enough enough protocols in place. 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:33.920 Maybe Scott's handle in it, Scott Scheffler, Yeah, Granddad sure, sure, 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.120 granddad and grandma sure. 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.600 I'm sure Meredith has it under control as well. That's 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.679 really the only storyline with Scottie. He had a kid. 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:47.760 He's one twice story joking, He's here here twice. He's 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:51.600 sort of the great modern master's player, defining modern as 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:57.520 you know, last ten years and multiple major, multiple Masters winners, 0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:59.280 as I talked to Joseph about a week ago, is 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.280 like kind of a relic of the eighties and nineties 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.080 and post Tiger and Phil era, Like that hasn't happened. 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.320 Bubba's picked off two. It just hasn't been a thing 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:12.960 like could Rory win four of the next however ten 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.880 I'm joking, but three of the next ten, I don't know, 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:20.320 three total, could be. Scotty certainly is in line for three. 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.280 Yeah. I mean the golf course is so great for him, 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:26.399 you know, you look at it. I mean the harder 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.440 it gets too with this week, like with the expected weather, 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:33.520 you're gonna have to hit high towering precise iron shots, 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.720 and the other thing is gonna put a huge emphasis 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.399 on his leg putting a short game because you're gonna 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:43.320 miss with the golf course getting you know, as firm 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.640 as I would expect it to get. You know, with Scotty, 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:51.600 you know, he's kind of like the uh the interview UH, 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.080 you know where the guy said like, don't don't write 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:54.920 that I'm mad. 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:56.879 Don't put in the paper on that time. 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:02.000 He's like, you know, he's set this absurd standard, and 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.720 like part of he like sympathizes with him. He has 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:09.080 set an insane standard the last three years, but like 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:13.680 quantifiably he is struggling for his insane standard that he's 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.399 set while still being one of the five best players 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:19.160 in the world. You know, and you know, as much 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:21.840 as he says that, you know, I'm not unhappy with 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:22.400 what I'm due. 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.800 You know, like your expectations of me are not my expectations. 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:30.120 He has set this expectation and he hasn't been himself 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.040 in in the last you know, six six or seven 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.480 weeks of competitive play and a really all year. He 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.840 didn't play great in the UH, in the PGA, in 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:42.520 PGA West UH and he won, you know, it was 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:44.480 like kind of his B or C game playing there, 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:48.479 and and so now you see, like, Okay, his irons 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:51.960 haven't been up to snuff. If that continues this week, 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:54.640 it's gonna put a lot of pressure on a short game. 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:57.600 But he's one of those guys that, like you watch 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.159 him play and you're like, I don't know how he 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:02.880 just shot sixty eight with what he had, but he's 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:06.240 going to it's very you know, listen, like everybody's always like, oh, 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.240 this guy's the next Speef. Like Spee that his prime 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:12.679 had a great, great iron play. He made a lot 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.160 of putts, mid range putts, he got up down all 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:20.440 the time. Scotty does a lot of that. And Scotty's 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:23.520 short game is always going to fly under the radar 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:25.959 because of how good his iron play is. But like 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:29.600 God like he is, he the guy can sleepwalk his 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.240 way to like sixties sixty eight, sixty nine out here. 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:37.280 He's he's yeah, he's having what a Q one going 0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:39.720 to the Masters that most every other pro would like 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:42.320 dream about, like that would be I don't want to 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:44.679 say career here, but I would be fully informed and 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:47.439 extremely happy. And here we are talking about him. He's 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.840 He's honestly among the best on the PGA Tour in 0:21:50.880 --> 0:21:54.240 literally almost every statistical category right now. But his iron 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:57.280 play is by Scotty standard. I'm gonna use word bad. 0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:59.439 I'm gonna use the word bad. It's middle of the 0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:02.640 pack for the tour eightieth by Scotty Seiars. That's bad. 0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:07.360 Everything else is still like top top, top tier, super elite. 0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:11.679 Can you get around Augusta? Can you win the Masters 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:16.320 having an average ironweek? Probably not, even if you're Scotty Shuffler. 0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:20.160 But if you're around the grain is number one, maybe 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:21.879 you make up for it. Maybe you can make up 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:25.080 for it. It seems like it's going to be, like 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:28.320 you said, the ideal test that Augusta would want, which 0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:29.879 you would think would be firm and fast. It was 0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:32.080 interesting to listen to Rob today say like, look, they 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:35.720 finally have a couple of years of firm and fast, right, 0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:38.639 it's for every Masters. And Phil talked about this, you know, 0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:40.840 eight years ago or so. It's like it's never firm here, 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:43.200 it's not firm here. Seems like they've found a little 0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:46.040 bit in mother Nature's part of that Lickser, and we'll 0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:48.800 see Scotty in those conditions which he won in twenty four. 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:51.880 Something unique with this year is I do think it's 0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:59.600 interesting that typically you see the top contenders play one 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:03.840 time between the players, and here, I don't know if 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:07.919 it's the way the calendar felt fell, but you know, 0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:11.280 we're not getting we we didn't get that start in 0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:14.159 between from most and I think it's kind of like 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:17.280 a grab bag like in one part, like you know, 0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:21.159 with Rory as obviously some injury rehab and then you 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:24.320 know he he talked about getting sharper, but he was 0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:27.440 gone out of the light for three weeks, and Scotty 0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:29.919 is the same way. Scotty hasn't We haven't seen Scotty 0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:32.840 in three weeks like he could have. You know, you know, 0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:36.359 I know Brandle insinuated maybe there's an injury. Is backswing 0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:39.919 shorter than it's ever been, you know, maybe there was 0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:42.920 something there, and and he in three weeks is short 0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:46.359 up and he comes out just blazing like I to me, 0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:49.760 I expect him to be a contender deep in this 0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:52.440 this tournament. I think a dream scenario is you get 0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:56.800 any combination of of Scotty, Rory and Uh and Bryson 0:23:56.840 --> 0:24:00.000 and Ram and there, and you've got yourself an incredible term. 0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:04.880 Yeah, you would think that he like a bad day 0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:07.880 for him, it's going to be a seventy three, Yeah, 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:11.240 and he's gonna post probably a sixty eight or at 0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:13.959 some point if Yeah, it's just hard to see him 0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:16.800 not being in the mix. So not the favorite though. 0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:19.080 I don't know if he is. They know he is 0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:21.960 in odds, but it just doesn't feel like it right now. 0:24:22.000 --> 0:24:23.320 Who would you say is the favorite? 0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:26.480 It feels like John Rams the favorite. It's transitioning to 0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:31.359 sort of appease the live and crowd. Here feels like 0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:36.000 John Ram is the favorite right now. He's playing excellent 0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:38.320 golf through the first quarter of the year. He's one 0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:41.960 on live, which you know is a bugaboo getting across 0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:44.960 the line. Can't top ten everything been a while, It 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:50.320 had been a while. His statistical profile is really strong. 0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:55.600 He's won here before. We know he's if not a 0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:57.600 top the top player in the world, he's always going 0:24:57.640 --> 0:25:00.600 to be top three to four. He talked about some 0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:03.560 really bad habits and even winning with bad habits that 0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:06.720 had started on set, about the takeaway and losing a 0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:09.480 cut left, losing the ball further left, which is the 0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:15.800 worst feeling in the world as a cutter. That said, 0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:19.800 I think I have like I just have questions about 0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:23.800 both him and Bryson, but then we'll get to him individually. 0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:28.240 Of course he's a great pick go with that to win. 0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:33.840 I thought he sort of he sort of shorted himself 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:38.320 today when he talked about how he won in twenty three. Well, 0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:41.000 like that just was a different course than what we 0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:44.639 normally play. And he wasn't saying he got lucky, but 0:25:44.680 --> 0:25:46.960 it's just it was a different tournament than the one 0:25:46.960 --> 0:25:49.040 that will be this week, and a different tournament than 0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:52.280 the one that has happened the past two years. It 0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:56.639 was just about surviving cold and surviving win and surviving 0:25:56.760 --> 0:26:03.600 rain and body bagging, body backing Brooks preciate didn't like 0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:05.639 that one, but teeing it low and just keeping it 0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:10.480 in the keeping it, you know, between the trees. Uh, 0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:13.200 I don't know. It felt like sort of shorting himself 0:26:13.440 --> 0:26:15.240 and like I didn't win. I don't want to say 0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:17.879 it was like that whole people you dained them if 0:26:17.920 --> 0:26:20.520 you win a real like PGA on a real course, 0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:23.600 or it was soft for your US Open, or like 0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:26.680 it was like kind of he was. This was him 0:26:26.720 --> 0:26:29.600 talking not anyone else. It felt like he was sort 0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:30.840 of dating his win. 0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:35.080 I think there's you know, he's come out and he's 0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:39.760 playing a lot of really great golf. I found there's 0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:44.960 a really interesting parallel here in similarity to Rory last year. 0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:48.360 So if you think about he talked about he got 0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:51.199 into some bad habits the last couple of years, and 0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:53.760 he spent three months, he did a lot of good 0:26:53.800 --> 0:26:56.240 work and set the base of how I played this year. 0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:59.199 If you remember last year, Rory talks about going to 0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:04.159 New York and hitting golf balls into a net without 0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:08.000 like this, basically without the simulator on and not thinking 0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:10.479 about flight at all, and working out some of the 0:27:10.480 --> 0:27:13.399 bad habits he felt had gotten into his swing. And 0:27:13.480 --> 0:27:16.000 sure enough he came out the next year, he was 0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:20.400 the best player leading into the Masters, and it carried over. 0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:23.520 So if you're making when I was, I didn't go 0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:25.560 to this press conference. When I was reading this, I 0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:29.119 just immediately drew to like the idea of like he 0:27:29.160 --> 0:27:31.600 had three months off and he did a lot of 0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:36.280 work on just cleaning up mechanics, and he's come out 0:27:36.359 --> 0:27:39.320 and as data golf, you know our friends at data golf, 0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:43.640 the data world, like dat golf. I like data golf too. 0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.840 I don't like some people's interpretations of data golf. But 0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:52.639 you know, but the you know, categorically just like Rory 0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:56.120 has been the best player in the world since he's 0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:59.760 done this work, cleaning up his root, his his kind 0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:05.800 of habits and and just technique. It's and his run 0:28:05.920 --> 0:28:09.399 leading into this well, it's a completely different tour is 0:28:09.520 --> 0:28:15.000 very similar. All high finishes a couple of wins and 0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:19.359 you gotta you gotta think, I mean, he he's a 0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:21.720 force man when he gets out there. I you know, 0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:26.359 I constantly find myself wondering about, like what would Scotty's 0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:32.280 run look like if Rom was around on tour as 0:28:32.280 --> 0:28:36.080 he was like basically in that year that Scotty ascended 0:28:36.080 --> 0:28:41.760 to the player we know, And I wonder would we say, 0:28:41.840 --> 0:28:45.440 would Scotty have a couple less tournaments if John Rom 0:28:45.560 --> 0:28:49.880 was around? Because to me, John Rahm is an intimidating 0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:52.200 guy we just talked about like that. You go back 0:28:52.240 --> 0:28:55.360 to that Brooks Major, and he is he is a 0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:58.640 force in there. He's he's a yeah, he's a physical guy. 0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:00.800 Like he's a tough guy to go against. We see 0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:03.960 it every year in the Ryder Cup, there's something that 0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:08.360 he has an edge to him, and I you know this, 0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:12.600 this just drew such parallels to Rory last year, and 0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:14.400 the statistics kind of bear it out. 0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:18.960 No real, no real like pressure about like getting across, 0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:21.280 Like he has the jacket all right, he's already done, 0:29:21.320 --> 0:29:23.280 and he's talked about the treasure of going to the 0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:27.880 Champions dinner. So yeah, he's, uh, he's an easy pick 0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:31.880 to win. What about Bryson, his compatriot on the Live tour, 0:29:31.920 --> 0:29:34.360 on the l iv tour as couples for a couple 0:29:34.480 --> 0:29:35.239 seems to call it. 0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:40.280 I mean, Bryce's press conference has always cinema. 0:29:40.800 --> 0:29:43.680 You know, we sat in there and I had to 0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:46.760 stifle a laugh like five or six different times. Not 0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:50.520 because he's I'm mocking him. He's just an incredible show, 0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:54.080 an incredible roller coaster. It's just what changed between being 0:29:54.160 --> 0:29:57.360 unable to do anything here and now and winning, you know, 0:29:57.600 --> 0:30:00.720 top ten in the last two years. Equipment number one reason. 0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:04.640 Equipment two was mentality, though he didn't talk too much about. 0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:06.560 Then three was body. He said he was huffing and 0:30:06.600 --> 0:30:09.880 puffing because he was too burly. Early on five six 0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:12.840 years ago, it was a total show. About equipment, a 0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:16.000 lot of growing the game talk and YouTube talk per usual. 0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:21.160 And he's building. He's building clubs himself, like he's in 0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:25.440 the garage. He's building clubs himself. You know, he's he 0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:28.680 wouldn't say with who, he's just I don't know what 0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:31.680 that means. They wouldn't say with them, just building them myself. 0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:35.160 You know, he's you know, we got the tools going. 0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:40.040 I thought his most interesting answer was talking about why 0:30:40.080 --> 0:30:43.560 he's had trouble with approach play here with the into 0:30:43.600 --> 0:30:47.040 the green I don't think he you know, I guess 0:30:47.040 --> 0:30:50.040 the likes when players talk about that. But because he 0:30:50.120 --> 0:30:52.440 was quick to try and like change it the way 0:30:52.440 --> 0:30:57.160 they bow, I think he said uh uh. The end 0:30:57.200 --> 0:31:00.960 of the green grass coupled with wind and his ball 0:31:01.040 --> 0:31:03.960 coming out spinny, what I thought was fascinating. And there's 0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:07.120 gotta be you know, I assume he's put this together. 0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:09.960 But he talked about three shots in particular, the second 0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:12.800 shot into seven, the second shot in to nine, and 0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:15.240 the second shot into eighteen. Brenda, what are all those 0:31:15.280 --> 0:31:23.000 have in common? What'd you say uphill seven? He's see 0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:25.600 He called those out as the ones he struggles with 0:31:25.640 --> 0:31:29.080 the most. It's kind of like, I don't think this 0:31:29.120 --> 0:31:31.880 stuff gets asked enough, like what what do you struggle with? 0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:36.239 But it's fascinating. Two with Rory last year his bain thing. 0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:40.320 I struggled with seven of fourteen and seventeen teen. They 0:31:40.360 --> 0:31:43.280 all run in the same direction with the same cant 0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:46.680 and the slope. And here's bryceon talking about I struggle 0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:51.080 with seven, nine and eighteen all approach shots with the 0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:54.680 with the grain judging distance, you know, which is always 0:31:54.760 --> 0:31:56.560 kind of the issue with him, the spin in the 0:31:56.640 --> 0:32:02.080 distance on approachests to go uphill. You know, I don't know. 0:32:02.200 --> 0:32:04.560 I don't know how you go about like you know, 0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:07.640 if you're him dialing in the spin. It seems like 0:32:09.120 --> 0:32:12.400 maybe one of the aspects he's obviously a very high 0:32:12.480 --> 0:32:15.560 spin player, is when the ball gets up over the 0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:18.239 over the tree line, you know where, how do you 0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:22.640 gauge that? And thankfully here, unlike the PGA tour, you're 0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:25.200 know how to use phones to gauge things. 0:32:26.000 --> 0:32:27.760 I'll push back about the phone. 0:32:27.560 --> 0:32:30.280 It's a compass, but still I'd love if the guy 0:32:30.360 --> 0:32:32.680 carried a compass, had a real compass. 0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:35.840 I just the visual of the guy taking the phone 0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:39.280 out on those it's just not a good look. The 0:32:39.320 --> 0:32:42.600 grain talk is they made the maybe they don't like it. 0:32:42.640 --> 0:32:45.520 But Ron was talking about that too. Underrated hard shots, 0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:49.600 he said, into the grain approaches on thirteen fifteen when 0:32:49.600 --> 0:32:52.120 you're playing a three shots like those are undered because 0:32:52.120 --> 0:32:55.840 you're into the grain half wedges. But like that is 0:32:55.880 --> 0:32:57.800 a common theme throughout it. 0:32:57.840 --> 0:32:59.680 Why do they can we take a pause here though, 0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:04.200 with the Rom sidebar. So you talked about I loved this, 0:33:05.920 --> 0:33:10.160 so everybody all the rage is risk reward holes right 0:33:10.760 --> 0:33:14.440 short par five's short part fours and people talk about like, 0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:19.640 what do you you know? What makes this great hole? 0:33:19.760 --> 0:33:23.000 And I think Rom's answer about those two shots being 0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:27.200 underrated and under talked about hard shots is the web 0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:30.960 shots into thirteen and fifteen illuminate. Why those holes are 0:33:31.000 --> 0:33:33.080 so great is that you stand in. 0:33:33.040 --> 0:33:34.040 The fairway. 0:33:35.200 --> 0:33:38.720 And the shot into the green is exceptionally hard, and 0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:41.240 at the core of you you don't really want to 0:33:41.320 --> 0:33:44.480 hit it m M because there's so much trouble. You 0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:47.360 can see all the things that can go wrong. I'm thirteen. 0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:49.680 You've got that azaleas on the left, the creek on 0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:53.160 the right, no good spot to bail, and you're terrified 0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:55.760 of it and you have this hook lie that like, 0:33:56.200 --> 0:33:58.320 if you underread it, you go into the creek and 0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:02.280 the ball and if you overready or you overread it, 0:34:02.520 --> 0:34:04.240 you go in the creek. If you underread it, you 0:34:04.320 --> 0:34:07.160 go in the azaleas. Fifteen. You just look at that 0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:09.240 and it's just like, how do I hit this pimple 0:34:09.640 --> 0:34:12.080 that's coming up out of the ground and like get 0:34:12.080 --> 0:34:14.439 my ball to stop on the hood of a car? Right, 0:34:15.000 --> 0:34:17.959 But the aspect of that, these are shots you don't 0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:22.160 want to have to hit. You think about, oh, I 0:34:22.160 --> 0:34:25.200 can lay up, but then the layup you're like, wait, 0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:27.799 I don't want to hit the wedge either, So you're 0:34:27.880 --> 0:34:30.319 laying up into a spot you don't want to be. 0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:34.400 But you're then you're making a decision from a shot 0:34:34.440 --> 0:34:37.120 you don't want to hit. So it's like pick your poison, 0:34:37.239 --> 0:34:39.400 and that's what makes the hole so what so great. 0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:42.160 It's not this like risk reward where you just have 0:34:42.320 --> 0:34:45.960 like this easy shot. There's still hard shots. 0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:50.160 We watched Cameron Young yesterday at fifteen and the layup 0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:52.960 zone middle middle, middle back, a little bit not not 0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:56.680 down too close to the water. Middle hit one into 0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:59.600 the front bank, right back into the water, hit one 0:34:59.680 --> 0:35:02.680 law by a good through the green, hit one in 0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:05.040 the middle and spun it off into the water. And 0:35:05.560 --> 0:35:08.040 at that point Pj's like it's over. It's so over. 0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:13.879 He's freaking out. Three like nowhere closet. 0:35:12.480 --> 0:35:15.959 Cam, Mercedes Benz producer Cam here to fire the first 0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:17.520 it was over. 0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:19.680 I don't know you could get it get it up. 0:35:20.000 --> 0:35:23.279 I didn't know you you you could figure that technology out. 0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:26.560 You know it's no g OS technology. But I think 0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:30.560 I think we're pretty good. Yeah, you've been riding around 0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:33.920 in the geo ho. What are your thoughts. You've been 0:35:33.960 --> 0:35:35.359 in the back seat mostly. 0:35:35.080 --> 0:35:38.560 Yeah, back seat, but warmer, that's the good stuff right there. 0:35:38.640 --> 0:35:39.360 Did you use it this? 0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:40.000 Yeah? 0:35:40.160 --> 0:35:43.959 He did? Cooling seats they can call later. 0:35:45.080 --> 0:35:46.839 That could be this weekend. We could be hitting the. 0:35:47.120 --> 0:35:49.479 Out at four or five o'clock and it's hot. 0:35:49.840 --> 0:35:52.000 I like that seat. I want to fire back. The 0:35:52.040 --> 0:35:55.080 wedges are always bad, Okay, they're never good. 0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:58.560 I don't think it's the end of what's in the 0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:01.359 water in the in the met section. Got her up's 0:36:01.400 --> 0:36:03.200 not good with wedges, and Cam's not good. 0:36:04.000 --> 0:36:05.719 We're just we're just here to bombing around. 0:36:05.920 --> 0:36:06.440 Just basher. 0:36:06.520 --> 0:36:08.080 Yeah, is that all that's going on up in New 0:36:08.120 --> 0:36:10.719 York is New York descilling the game. 0:36:12.080 --> 0:36:15.200 Oh yeah, yeah, I walked myself into a trap here. 0:36:16.080 --> 0:36:18.480 I don't like where I'm at taking myself. 0:36:18.640 --> 0:36:20.759 Probably gotta get your wedges right if you want to 0:36:20.760 --> 0:36:23.120 play Augusta. No, that seems like a yeah. 0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:25.600 I mean you would think that he's done all right 0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:26.320 for himself to this. 0:36:26.360 --> 0:36:29.759 All right, Hey, I want you to interject. BP's just 0:36:29.840 --> 0:36:31.719 had the run of the show, of the storylines, what 0:36:31.760 --> 0:36:34.280 would be your next storyline after after Bryson. 0:36:34.719 --> 0:36:37.120 Well, we're going to the course according to my PTI 0:36:37.280 --> 0:36:39.520 sidebar here, So you guys, you guys, take it away. 0:36:39.800 --> 0:36:40.879 We have talked. 0:36:40.880 --> 0:36:43.319 We've talked about the course plenty. I honestly I'm going 0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:45.279 off with BP's run. Just I didn't send you that. 0:36:45.360 --> 0:36:47.720 I just send it that in order. You're you're off. 0:36:47.800 --> 0:36:50.960 You're off on that. One more thing on Bryson, he 0:36:51.120 --> 0:36:55.080 is the most by far like trick or treat player 0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:58.719 in this field for me, like it could I have no, 0:36:58.840 --> 0:37:02.560 he's one last two live. I have no idea what 0:37:02.680 --> 0:37:05.680 to expect. It seems like he's cracked the code here. 0:37:06.920 --> 0:37:10.040 He's gotten over his emotional burden in South Africa too. 0:37:11.600 --> 0:37:13.960 Not talking about it, not talking about We're not talking 0:37:13.960 --> 0:37:16.400 about it. Brennan Quinn trying to go there. He couldn't 0:37:16.400 --> 0:37:21.720 finish his question. God knows what happened. He just seems 0:37:22.080 --> 0:37:24.960 the most fascinating player by a mile in the field. 0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:27.640 I he could win it if he wanted. It would 0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:30.400 not be surprising if he m seed. I also wouldn't 0:37:30.440 --> 0:37:32.959 be surprised at all. That would be more surprised VM 0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:37.160 seed than he wanted, quite frankly. But like the last 0:37:37.160 --> 0:37:39.200 time we saw him here was so bad, like the 0:37:39.280 --> 0:37:42.400 last three four hours. Then all of a sudden, you 0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:46.560 know he was bad at Oakmont. Finally gets it going 0:37:46.640 --> 0:37:48.360 at an open in Port Rush, and all of a 0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:52.120 sudden he's like, I'm not I honestly don't know what 0:37:52.239 --> 0:37:53.960 to make And there was all the you know is 0:37:54.000 --> 0:37:56.839 around the game. Greame hasn't been good enough for Augusta 0:37:56.840 --> 0:37:59.160 and the single length Wedges it all like he is 0:37:59.200 --> 0:38:03.600 the most He's incredibly talent. I don't know. I don't 0:38:03.680 --> 0:38:07.960 know what to make of Bryson. Probably top ten, but 0:38:08.080 --> 0:38:11.120 that feels like the most likely thing. It's crazy. He 0:38:11.160 --> 0:38:12.760 feels like a real Trigg or treat. 0:38:12.560 --> 0:38:15.840 Guy right now, we've gone We've come so far from 0:38:16.280 --> 0:38:19.200 his days where we could put him in a prop 0:38:19.239 --> 0:38:20.840 bet against Larry Mice. 0:38:21.760 --> 0:38:22.719 That was a real thing. 0:38:24.280 --> 0:38:27.719 The I think the thing about Bryson, he talked about 0:38:27.719 --> 0:38:31.960 it in this press or about he's just gotten gotten 0:38:32.000 --> 0:38:36.360 a little bit more conservative around here and realize, like 0:38:36.920 --> 0:38:39.560 I think this is just the reality of the super 0:38:39.640 --> 0:38:44.880 duper elite guys. Yeah, August is set up. You're just 0:38:44.960 --> 0:38:48.359 gonna run into Birdie's. I mean, if you are a 0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:52.279 good player, you are going to make Birdie's here, so 0:38:52.920 --> 0:38:56.439 you don't have to do you don't have to move 0:38:56.560 --> 0:38:59.759 heaven and Earth to get on the leaderboard and moving 0:38:59.840 --> 0:39:03.440 up the leader board. As long as you is, you 0:39:03.560 --> 0:39:09.560 don't make like huge cataclysmic mistake mistakes, catastrophic mistakes, you know. 0:39:10.360 --> 0:39:12.840 And and I think that's the thing. You know, he 0:39:12.920 --> 0:39:15.080 just talked about playing a little bit defensive. I feel 0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:19.279 like we we have hit the big time competitive contenders. Yes, 0:39:19.719 --> 0:39:21.879 Like I think those four are kind of like out 0:39:21.880 --> 0:39:24.920 in front of everybody else right now in terms of 0:39:26.239 --> 0:39:29.279 who would you put. You talked about Spieth being the 0:39:29.320 --> 0:39:33.520 most interesting story possible, the best story. 0:39:33.640 --> 0:39:35.160 I got a lot of support for that take on 0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:36.200 the ground when I walked in. 0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:38.600 I'm sure you did. I mean, you're not going to 0:39:38.680 --> 0:39:42.719 find more support for you know, the player that's that's 0:39:42.719 --> 0:39:46.800 been middling uh over the last you know, five years, 0:39:46.800 --> 0:39:48.920 six years? Say he was going to win, Well, I'm 0:39:48.960 --> 0:39:50.600 just he's not a real contender. 0:39:50.760 --> 0:39:53.000 People put a charge into the ground and even your 0:39:54.000 --> 0:39:55.040 can't deny it. 0:39:55.680 --> 0:39:58.920 I'm not. It's not cold heart, just operating from a 0:39:58.520 --> 0:40:03.160 state of reality. Okay, but if we take nation, I 0:40:03.200 --> 0:40:08.400 don't disagree that Speeth would be like the best possible winner. 0:40:08.440 --> 0:40:11.320 There we go. Ok So we're all in agreement. 0:40:12.200 --> 0:40:16.960 But who do you think of the other guys is 0:40:17.000 --> 0:40:18.480 the most realistic contender? 0:40:18.600 --> 0:40:19.160 Cameron Young? 0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:20.520 Really? 0:40:21.440 --> 0:40:21.799 I think? 0:40:21.840 --> 0:40:21.920 So? 0:40:23.239 --> 0:40:25.359 Okay, I think, so what about you? 0:40:25.800 --> 0:40:29.840 I don't know, I don't I appreciate your support. Not where, 0:40:29.880 --> 0:40:33.279 not even where I would have gone as the fifth player. 0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:35.240 I mean, it would have been Colin Morricowo. But obviously 0:40:35.320 --> 0:40:36.560 I don't know that he's gonna play. 0:40:37.080 --> 0:40:42.480 That seems like a nicey situation playing in a foursome 0:40:42.560 --> 0:40:43.600 yesterday but not playing. 0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:45.239 It's like, why is he with four or three other 0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:47.319 guys just walking to the front of the Green. 0:40:47.480 --> 0:40:50.239 It was kind of depressing. I feel bad. I hope 0:40:50.239 --> 0:40:50.680 he's okay. 0:40:51.600 --> 0:40:51.799 Bad. 0:40:52.160 --> 0:40:55.360 I probably feel the best about Ludwig being in the mix. 0:40:55.600 --> 0:40:57.040 Yep, he was up there for sure. 0:40:58.920 --> 0:41:02.400 I think there's been a lot of talk about him 0:41:02.520 --> 0:41:06.759 having Sunday struggles, and I think the name of the 0:41:06.800 --> 0:41:10.120 game in this sport is just putting yourself into this 0:41:10.280 --> 0:41:14.319 into contention. Cameron Young talked about this a lot in 0:41:14.360 --> 0:41:18.520 his in his presser, and he's so spot on. You 0:41:18.680 --> 0:41:20.600 just have to get there. You have to get to 0:41:20.680 --> 0:41:24.399 the spot and give yourself a chance to have good 0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:27.799 things happen to you, and give yourself a chance to 0:41:27.880 --> 0:41:30.600 play a great round of golf. And I think like 0:41:30.640 --> 0:41:33.880 a lot of people are are down on Ludwig because 0:41:33.880 --> 0:41:38.160 of what happened at Valero. To me, what I see 0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:41.320 as a guy that has gotten in the mix multiple 0:41:41.360 --> 0:41:45.320 times in the last month, and I think, you know, listen, 0:41:45.760 --> 0:41:47.520 I don't think he's going to be in the mix again. 0:41:47.760 --> 0:41:50.640 He joined a list of golfers of of he could 0:41:50.640 --> 0:41:53.319 be the fourth player that finishes in the top ten 0:41:53.640 --> 0:41:58.319 in his first three Masters, it's Xalatorus, Ralph Goodal and 0:41:58.760 --> 0:42:02.239 I can't remember the fourth was a problem yeah, he 0:42:02.440 --> 0:42:05.000 was a problem, but it was another player of the 0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:09.320 Ralph goodal uh yeah, person, it wasn't a lot. I 0:42:09.560 --> 0:42:12.480 can't remember who the fourth is, but he could he 0:42:12.600 --> 0:42:17.719 joins his list. It's just I don't see foresee a 0:42:17.800 --> 0:42:20.840 situation where he is not in the mix, given his 0:42:21.160 --> 0:42:25.479 run from Bayhill up and I he's been right there. 0:42:25.640 --> 0:42:28.680 And what's you know the story, you know is we've 0:42:28.680 --> 0:42:31.960 seen this like it flips quick on like if you 0:42:32.040 --> 0:42:34.000 get in the mix a lot of the masters from 0:42:34.040 --> 0:42:36.640 where it becomes like, oh he's a great fit. He's 0:42:36.640 --> 0:42:39.480 a great fit. He's a snake bitten and he's had 0:42:39.520 --> 0:42:42.959 some like kind of like you know, tough moments, whether 0:42:43.000 --> 0:42:45.800 it's the ball in the water on eleven in twenty 0:42:45.840 --> 0:42:51.520 four or the finish last year seventeen. Yeah, and uh, 0:42:52.000 --> 0:42:57.239 but I think he's going to be god Man FaceTime 0:42:57.680 --> 0:43:00.200 a FaceTime somebody's breaking through the do not just or 0:43:01.800 --> 0:43:05.640 But anyways, the I think that's the thing with. 0:43:05.920 --> 0:43:09.120 Yourself in the battle he's Yeah, he seems like it's 0:43:09.160 --> 0:43:11.439 a fair assessment. He should probably be in the mix. 0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:14.040 We know he will be arriving to the course in 0:43:14.160 --> 0:43:18.000 comfort and in style because he is a Mercedes Benz ambassador. 0:43:18.200 --> 0:43:20.600 Everybody is he sounded advantage this week? 0:43:22.080 --> 0:43:24.480 They do. They do have a lot of cars in 0:43:24.520 --> 0:43:27.520 the Augusta. All the guys are driving if they want. 0:43:27.600 --> 0:43:29.759 I don't know if they all are, but yes, that 0:43:29.840 --> 0:43:32.839 was by the way, that was the best story from 0:43:32.920 --> 0:43:35.840 Rory's press conference. Is like last year he got invited 0:43:35.880 --> 0:43:37.960 to the dinner at the clubhouse and he drove in 0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:42.440 at whatever six o'clock on Tuesday, and all the past 0:43:42.520 --> 0:43:45.040 champions were out on the balcony. I think I assume 0:43:45.080 --> 0:43:48.799 the front balcony outside the champions locker room, and like 0:43:48.840 --> 0:43:51.279 He's like, oh shit, they can't see me. I just 0:43:51.360 --> 0:43:53.200 want to go to dinner. I got invited to dinner. 0:43:53.640 --> 0:43:56.560 That was great, Like a great visual and piece of 0:43:56.600 --> 0:43:57.640 color driving it. 0:43:57.640 --> 0:44:00.960 It gives you such a lens into why Rory McLeroy 0:44:01.080 --> 0:44:05.360 is this unique star. Yeah, he gave you like he 0:44:05.520 --> 0:44:09.640 basically gave you his inner thoughts of this would be 0:44:09.680 --> 0:44:12.479 so awkward if I drove up here and got out, 0:44:12.640 --> 0:44:18.239 So I'm gonna like drive over here. That's exactly the way. 0:44:18.239 --> 0:44:22.440 For a few weirdos in this field, right, Like that's like, oh, 0:44:23.040 --> 0:44:24.399 why I gotta figure this out? 0:44:24.600 --> 0:44:27.640 Yeah, it's it's kind of like when you like know 0:44:27.800 --> 0:44:31.319 you're going somewhere that like maybe an axis has been 0:44:31.800 --> 0:44:34.680 it's like, well, oh, like I see him, I'm gonna 0:44:34.680 --> 0:44:35.560 go this way. 0:44:36.360 --> 0:44:38.880 I'm here for dinner, but not your dinner. Sorry, is 0:44:39.160 --> 0:44:42.759 like running. Yeah, of course it's an incredible bit. But 0:44:43.360 --> 0:44:45.919 we do know whether you're driving for the champions dinner 0:44:45.960 --> 0:44:48.480 or whatever it is. You know, I think for sure 0:44:48.600 --> 0:44:49.640 is in a Mercedes bed. 0:44:49.800 --> 0:44:52.000 I gotta say, I think our covers is gonna be 0:44:52.000 --> 0:44:53.560 better because we're so comfortable. 0:44:54.719 --> 0:44:57.920 We are so comfortable, we're safe. They offered a wide 0:44:58.000 --> 0:45:01.000 range of SUVs from compact to full size. We got 0:45:01.040 --> 0:45:02.919 the g LS this week with three rows. 0:45:03.719 --> 0:45:07.799 Interject here, Yes, these SUVs are awesome. I got in 0:45:07.880 --> 0:45:12.520 a ended an uber. Uh that that was a g LB. Okay, 0:45:13.040 --> 0:45:15.680 it's one of their smaller ones. It's got three rows, 0:45:16.000 --> 0:45:17.560 and I was sitting in it, and I was in 0:45:17.600 --> 0:45:19.279 the back seat like you get in a lot of 0:45:19.280 --> 0:45:22.160 the smaller recupes. Yeah, the way they have they have 0:45:22.680 --> 0:45:28.239 manufactured uh space. Yeah, it's so comfortable in the back seat. 0:45:28.320 --> 0:45:31.879 And that is so comfortable for a smaller suv like these. 0:45:32.440 --> 0:45:35.080 You know, masters of engineering love it. 0:45:35.120 --> 0:45:37.640 They got the Burmester three D surround system, which we 0:45:37.680 --> 0:45:41.160 put to the test this morning with burmister not bur 0:45:41.200 --> 0:45:47.239 mister mean one track, Burmister three D surround system. We 0:45:47.280 --> 0:45:48.600 put to the test this morning. On the way to 0:45:48.640 --> 0:45:52.120 the course. You can experience the power, precision and versatility 0:45:52.120 --> 0:45:55.080 of the Mercedes Benz SUVs at n b U s 0:45:55.120 --> 0:45:59.439 A dot com slash the dash Masters nb USA dot 0:45:59.440 --> 0:46:03.399 com the dash Masters check it out for the check 0:46:03.440 --> 0:46:05.920 it out there, and we're pumped to be riding in 0:46:05.960 --> 0:46:09.680 style this week with them. All right, last big storyline 0:46:09.680 --> 0:46:12.360 you mentioned Ludwig golf Course. I honestly don't think we 0:46:12.360 --> 0:46:14.080 need to say much more about the golf course other 0:46:14.120 --> 0:46:16.840 than it is perfectly set up. I would say my 0:46:16.920 --> 0:46:20.520 big like red flag warning flag is like whatever you're 0:46:20.560 --> 0:46:23.640 hearing these first two days is probably not what it's 0:46:23.640 --> 0:46:28.759 gonna be Thursday and Friday, I think allegedly not Like definitely, 0:46:28.840 --> 0:46:33.560 Rory was overheard saying like this was absolutely totally different. 0:46:33.760 --> 0:46:35.960 They've totally taken like the fire out of it from 0:46:35.960 --> 0:46:37.959 a week ago, like they can do that here. 0:46:40.120 --> 0:46:43.279 Also, I would just point out, because this is what 0:46:43.719 --> 0:46:47.680 generally happens, there will be knee jerk reactions on Thursday 0:46:47.880 --> 0:46:51.360 and be oh what, Like the point of a setup 0:46:51.400 --> 0:46:54.760 of a golf tournament they to get the golf course 0:46:54.800 --> 0:46:59.520 playing the best it possibly can on Sunday afternoon. So 0:46:59.600 --> 0:47:02.279 you are, you are trying and obviously you wanted to 0:47:02.320 --> 0:47:05.839 perform at a great level every single day, but you 0:47:05.960 --> 0:47:08.759 want that thing to peak on the weekend. So you are, 0:47:08.880 --> 0:47:11.440 you are just it's kind of like a swimmer, you know, 0:47:11.520 --> 0:47:14.799 where you caper and you get like they put I'm 0:47:14.840 --> 0:47:17.040 sure they it's it's a little bit slower, but like 0:47:17.080 --> 0:47:19.520 this is this is all the stories of old This 0:47:19.640 --> 0:47:21.359 is what you used to hear, and I think you 0:47:21.400 --> 0:47:24.239 hear it way less than you used to. Was Like, 0:47:25.040 --> 0:47:29.160 you know, the difference between Wednesday and Thursday is greater 0:47:29.280 --> 0:47:32.080 than any golf tournament in America. The speed and the 0:47:32.800 --> 0:47:34.360 ferocity of the golf course. 0:47:35.680 --> 0:47:37.920 A unique aspect of the Masters, though, is that it's 0:47:38.000 --> 0:47:41.040 usually the hardest on like Thursday, Friday, and then Sunday. 0:47:41.360 --> 0:47:43.520 Like if you're just talking about heart set up, you're ye, 0:47:43.560 --> 0:47:45.440 sad set up, Yeah, just talking about hard. It's like 0:47:46.000 --> 0:47:48.640 conditionings may be perfect for Sunday, but that does not 0:47:48.680 --> 0:47:51.360 necessarily mean like the US Open fashion of like this 0:47:51.480 --> 0:47:52.960 is going to be as hard as possible. 0:47:53.000 --> 0:47:56.360 It just means they want the fireworks. Yeah, they want swings. 0:47:56.640 --> 0:47:58.719 They want a sixty five out there, if you can 0:47:58.760 --> 0:47:59.080 do it. 0:47:59.200 --> 0:48:02.600 I think that the steps that they've taken in recent 0:48:02.719 --> 0:48:06.080 years have kind of undoing what they did to the 0:48:06.120 --> 0:48:09.560 course in two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight era, 0:48:09.680 --> 0:48:13.399 the thick rough, the over planeted trees. Like what you're 0:48:13.440 --> 0:48:17.400 seeing is the golf the club, in the in the masters, 0:48:17.600 --> 0:48:21.719 the tournament committee. Really I understanding the golf course. The 0:48:21.800 --> 0:48:25.440 golf course is built. What makes this place special, what 0:48:25.520 --> 0:48:29.080 makes people love it is the variability and the idea 0:48:29.160 --> 0:48:30.880 that anything can happen out there. 0:48:31.120 --> 0:48:34.360 So golf course is set up perfectly. Any other names, 0:48:34.480 --> 0:48:38.319 top names, favorites who want cam Colin, I think we're 0:48:38.320 --> 0:48:42.200 going to get to pee read here in a minute, Bridgeman, others, uh. 0:48:42.120 --> 0:48:46.600 Peach, Sanders, Shaffley, I have a big pick. My number 0:48:46.640 --> 0:48:49.880 five is forgotten. The top four I just forgotten. I 0:48:49.920 --> 0:48:54.399 think I think the forum coming in and you want 0:48:54.440 --> 0:48:57.840 to talk about a guy Andy who has found himself 0:48:57.840 --> 0:49:01.359 in situations a lot and chances to win, specifically here, 0:49:03.000 --> 0:49:05.400 I I think It's setting up very very well for 0:49:05.480 --> 0:49:06.200 Xander right now. 0:49:07.239 --> 0:49:09.480 He'd be all a sudden in the Grand Slam cop 0:49:10.080 --> 0:49:10.720 and the US. 0:49:10.600 --> 0:49:14.279 Opens his best major right traditionally. 0:49:15.680 --> 0:49:18.080 Would be kind of a Scottie and him Duke. 0:49:18.520 --> 0:49:20.359 That would be nuts, that would be sick. 0:49:20.440 --> 0:49:24.560 Well, honestly, I think that just bumped up that that 0:49:24.600 --> 0:49:28.080 potential just bumped him up in in storylines. Maybe I 0:49:28.880 --> 0:49:30.719 think he's the best story. 0:49:32.080 --> 0:49:35.319 Xander hasn't even had like a press conference yet, has he? 0:49:35.600 --> 0:49:36.200 They didn't have it. 0:49:36.680 --> 0:49:38.239 He's got the Brooks slight too. 0:49:38.440 --> 0:49:40.200 He does have the Brooks chip on. 0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:43.480 I love it. It's all setting up for x Baby. 0:49:43.680 --> 0:49:46.480 There was an app update this week. I will confirm 0:49:46.760 --> 0:49:49.799 app update. He's just got new merch on the app. 0:49:49.840 --> 0:49:53.200 There's a photo gallery from the players now. Uh. And 0:49:53.239 --> 0:49:56.319 there's one little like you know, ap news blur about 0:49:56.360 --> 0:49:59.319 Xander's playing the Masters. Fun fact from the app though, 0:49:59.640 --> 0:50:03.400 skip being Quail Hollowsander is is he not on his schedule? 0:50:03.600 --> 0:50:07.200 Announcements no truth trust. 0:50:07.239 --> 0:50:10.879 No Xander or Scott gott who could both be going 0:50:10.920 --> 0:50:12.760 for the career Grand Slam. 0:50:12.880 --> 0:50:13.120 Yeah? 0:50:13.160 --> 0:50:16.440 Interesting, Well, I'm glad we got truest trues, you know. 0:50:16.560 --> 0:50:18.239 I try to love it. 0:50:18.320 --> 0:50:20.040 Well, they probably just don't want to go there because 0:50:20.040 --> 0:50:20.920 it's Rory Alley. 0:50:21.160 --> 0:50:24.040 That's true. That's I mean that it is interesting how 0:50:24.120 --> 0:50:27.560 Xander's just I'm sure that the touts and tipsters have 0:50:27.680 --> 0:50:30.480 Xander all in their crossairs, but he has been gone 0:50:30.520 --> 0:50:31.120 under the radar. 0:50:31.440 --> 0:50:35.279 I asked one of our favorite favorite gambling colleagues what 0:50:35.760 --> 0:50:38.160 his models were looking at, and he said, my models 0:50:38.200 --> 0:50:41.640 don't spit out anything until until the game's biggest gambling 0:50:41.640 --> 0:50:42.359 podcast goes. 0:50:42.640 --> 0:50:44.480 I love that. We'll do picks here at the end. 0:50:44.560 --> 0:50:48.360 We've we've up to our gambling podcast Bona Fides with 0:50:48.400 --> 0:50:51.640 a family member of mine winning eight hundred person entry 0:50:51.760 --> 0:50:54.360 uh a tournament. 0:50:54.760 --> 0:50:55.799 She going to Disneyland. 0:50:55.880 --> 0:51:00.720 I don't know. The six year old came into several thousand. 0:51:00.960 --> 0:51:02.400 What have we got next on our schedule? 0:51:02.840 --> 0:51:05.400 Let's do tea times, times to watch the best and 0:51:05.480 --> 0:51:06.480 worst times. 0:51:06.719 --> 0:51:10.400 This is a favorite tradition. I gotta say, can we 0:51:10.480 --> 0:51:13.360 just all go around. We'll do this like a draft, 0:51:13.480 --> 0:51:16.560 our favorite one and then our favorite. 0:51:16.280 --> 0:51:21.200 All right, number one, number one, you can go first. Ah, 0:51:21.280 --> 0:51:23.600 there's so many to choose from. There's so many to 0:51:23.719 --> 0:51:28.800 choose from. I'm gonna go number one with a bullet 0:51:29.320 --> 0:51:32.200 down bad the twenty twenty two or is the twenty 0:51:32.239 --> 0:51:35.959 three US Open, twenty three US Open champion, But he's 0:51:36.000 --> 0:51:37.840 down bad. If he's in this, he was in this 0:51:37.960 --> 0:51:42.440 teeth time. But he should consider it a privilege, in 0:51:42.480 --> 0:51:46.920 an honor to be playing Wyndham Clark alongside Mike Weir 0:51:47.360 --> 0:51:51.560 and the great amateur Matteo Paulsini, the Burliest of Boys, 0:51:53.080 --> 0:51:58.640 Amateur Asia or South Latin America Amateur winner.

This is not where I thought 0:57:04.239 --> 0:57:08.360 you were going Restsneerguard, Peterson R and P. And actually 0:57:08.400 --> 0:57:11.719 we can knock out two storylines that nobody's talking about, 0:57:11.920 --> 0:57:14.879 and and the in the big Potty Aldrich Pott. 0:57:15.040 --> 0:57:17.680 Surprise surprise for you, We're gonna knock out three right now. 0:57:17.760 --> 0:57:19.920 Yeah, I got a good one. I got nowhere it goes. 0:57:20.000 --> 0:57:23.120 We got three storylines. I'm gonna start here. I'm gonna 0:57:23.120 --> 0:57:25.560 start with here with with with our first game within 0:57:25.640 --> 0:57:27.800 the game of the year, of the of the of 0:57:27.840 --> 0:57:32.200 the tournament. Can Jose Maria take down the big potty? 0:57:32.840 --> 0:57:35.040 I absolutely is the answer. 0:57:35.400 --> 0:57:39.080 Will Jose Maria take it to We've seen him him 0:57:39.480 --> 0:57:41.440 take on this golf course. He's made the cut a 0:57:41.480 --> 0:57:42.240 couple of times. 0:57:42.320 --> 0:57:44.880 Within the last four years, and. 0:57:44.640 --> 0:57:48.080 He's got the big potty. Who it's gonna be to 0:57:48.120 --> 0:57:54.280 be clear, all right, he's a big poty. He I'm 0:57:54.400 --> 0:57:56.880 I think Jose Maria, this is gonna be the group 0:57:56.960 --> 0:58:00.520 that I go out and watch from. We had the 0:58:00.520 --> 0:58:04.200 Bernie Longer Noah Kent croup last year, where you got 0:58:04.280 --> 0:58:07.240 just somebody who's just gonna be shipping it everywhere and 0:58:07.440 --> 0:58:10.479 far in pot eater and then you're gonna have Jose 0:58:10.640 --> 0:58:13.480 Maria playing all the angles, all the angles. This is 0:58:13.480 --> 0:58:16.840 gonna be the best group to watch the shot trails 0:58:16.880 --> 0:58:19.520 in comparison, when you can get with those shots early 0:58:19.600 --> 0:58:22.560 on Thursday morning, load up and you can just you're 0:58:22.600 --> 0:58:25.680 you're just watching shots. This is the group to watch. 0:58:26.760 --> 0:58:29.640 So yeah, that's uh, that's one of my storylines that 0:58:29.680 --> 0:58:31.080 nobody's talking about. 0:58:31.120 --> 0:58:33.360 I think mine should go next. I have I have 0:58:33.640 --> 0:58:38.400 a potty storyline. Potty is getting prepped for this tea 0:58:38.440 --> 0:58:40.520 time because I was with him. He was playing the 0:58:40.520 --> 0:58:44.360 first hole today he's short sighted, trying to get to 0:58:44.360 --> 0:58:46.640 the pin. Hits three bad wedges said, you know what, 0:58:46.840 --> 0:58:50.720 screw it, give me the driver, playing it on the ground, 0:58:51.080 --> 0:58:52.200 chipping with a driver. 0:58:52.960 --> 0:58:59.439 Jose Maria is gonna offend, is Potty short game. 0:58:59.560 --> 0:59:02.760 Patty is prepping and is ready for a lesson from 0:59:02.760 --> 0:59:04.720 Hose Maria. Putting with a driver. 0:59:04.960 --> 0:59:07.520 I mean this is honestly like taking you know, a 0:59:07.600 --> 0:59:14.280 master chef, like a Michelin three star whatever chef, dropping. 0:59:14.040 --> 0:59:15.680 Him into frat house and dropping him. 0:59:15.800 --> 0:59:20.640 Yeah, being like just just here, make these robindle, make 0:59:20.680 --> 0:59:25.240 these two children just tyson dinam nuggets. I mean, think 0:59:25.280 --> 0:59:28.440 about Jose, like the horrors running through Jose's head. His 0:59:28.600 --> 0:59:31.800 Potty is just the hands in the short game. What 0:59:31.960 --> 0:59:34.880 an incredible this is Tea times must watch. 0:59:36.040 --> 0:59:38.160 When he pulled the driver the third pick, I. 0:59:38.080 --> 0:59:39.360 Can't but that was my number one. 0:59:39.400 --> 0:59:43.480 He pulled the driver, I gassed, I actually audibly gassed. 0:59:43.520 --> 0:59:45.720 I want to remind you to vivid memory that I'll 0:59:45.760 --> 0:59:50.680 never forget. Last year, Jose Maria was literally ten feet 0:59:50.840 --> 0:59:55.200 away from the ninth, the ninth, the hole on nine, 0:59:55.240 --> 1:00:00.640 maybe twelve feet fifteen feet, one foot on the fringe, 1:00:00.800 --> 1:00:04.360 and he was chipping last year a master. God, he's 1:00:04.440 --> 1:00:04.920 so good. 1:00:05.400 --> 1:00:07.320 I can't believe He's got to watch potty around the 1:00:07.320 --> 1:00:10.000 greens for the next at least two days, three days. 1:00:09.760 --> 1:00:11.520 We do our third storyline on there. 1:00:11.600 --> 1:00:15.800 Oh yeah, storylinely zeroed in here R and P. 1:00:16.120 --> 1:00:22.280 Rasmus Nierguard Peterson, big fan of Rasmus. He has a 1:00:22.560 --> 1:00:25.440 chance to do a rare, rare accomplishment. I don't know 1:00:25.480 --> 1:00:27.760 if this has ever been done. I'm gonna call it 1:00:27.800 --> 1:00:31.720 the Fiery Mackenzie Double. He has the chance to win 1:00:31.920 --> 1:00:35.720 on two famed arguably the two you know you throw cypress, 1:00:35.760 --> 1:00:39.479 but the two best tournament courses the Mackenzie built within 1:00:39.600 --> 1:00:43.920 six months of each other, Royal Royal Melbourne and uh 1:00:44.200 --> 1:00:46.320 and then obviously augusta national. 1:00:46.160 --> 1:00:49.720 Love it the Mackenzie Double. R N. We spoke to 1:00:49.720 --> 1:00:50.680 a source close to R. 1:00:50.800 --> 1:00:50.960 M P. 1:00:51.680 --> 1:00:55.160 Love the mindset there this morning. He wants to win 1:00:55.200 --> 1:00:58.520 the par three. I'm gonna win the par three, and 1:00:58.560 --> 1:01:01.000 then I'm gonna break through that bear or win the Master. 1:01:01.120 --> 1:01:04.160 I'm not saying this was his. He has a mindset 1:01:04.240 --> 1:01:06.320 of I'm not gonna be he's not calling a shot here, 1:01:06.360 --> 1:01:08.760 but I can win the part three, break that curse, 1:01:08.840 --> 1:01:11.080 and I can break the rookie curse andokie. 1:01:11.160 --> 1:01:14.960 Other cool piece of this was he he was obviously 1:01:15.000 --> 1:01:17.400 in the ned Bank. He had his car locked up 1:01:18.120 --> 1:01:23.080 ned Bank, much higher perse total than than the Australian Open. 1:01:23.160 --> 1:01:25.960 The same week he said to his team, I'm going 1:01:26.000 --> 1:01:28.920 down to Australia and I'm qualifying for the Masters. And 1:01:28.960 --> 1:01:32.200 he went down, won the won the Australian Open to 1:01:32.240 --> 1:01:34.840 get in the Masters. Here's a trend.

There's 1:14:06.520 --> 1:14:09.760 not a usable shot anywhere amongst this. 1:14:09.880 --> 1:14:13.519 I mean, you guys are able to wear sunglasses, so 1:14:13.560 --> 1:14:14.559 it wasn't that bad. 1:14:14.600 --> 1:14:18.040 I couldn't see just glaring sun. 1:14:18.760 --> 1:14:20.800 I could not see one thing. 1:14:21.080 --> 1:14:23.600 I found a new respect for models other than just 1:14:23.640 --> 1:14:26.479 looking to track like actually, it seems probably pretty hard 1:14:26.520 --> 1:14:28.480 because I couldn't get there anyways. 1:14:28.720 --> 1:14:30.759 On the next storyline, nobody's talking. 1:14:30.920 --> 1:14:31.840 We're just going back. 1:14:31.880 --> 1:14:33.439 All right, all right, what do we got for today? 1:14:33.680 --> 1:14:34.759 Nobody's talking about. 1:14:34.600 --> 1:14:36.800 Have you heard about the parking gate this year? 1:14:36.840 --> 1:14:38.519 Oh? I didn't make a graphic for this because we 1:14:38.520 --> 1:14:40.160 didn't take a picture of the parking lot, but you 1:14:40.160 --> 1:14:40.519 could talk. 1:14:40.680 --> 1:14:42.559 I thought you were going to put it like a 1:14:42.560 --> 1:14:47.120 people camping. So anyways, a problem illuminated for the for 1:14:47.160 --> 1:14:48.519 the green I hadn't heard about this. 1:14:48.680 --> 1:14:50.920 Okay, a problem. 1:14:50.520 --> 1:14:52.880 Illuminated for the green jackets. They had to solve. 1:14:52.880 --> 1:14:56.679 A parking illuminated. That's yeah, okay, all right. 1:14:56.880 --> 1:15:00.760 It revealed himself nobody could be camp being in the 1:15:01.160 --> 1:15:05.719 parking grounds. That is distasteful. So they instituted new rules 1:15:05.720 --> 1:15:06.160 this year. 1:15:06.600 --> 1:15:08.200 Okay, but here's the thing. 1:15:08.200 --> 1:15:11.000 When you put in new laws, new new rules, you know, 1:15:11.160 --> 1:15:14.679 things changed. Everything changes. So there's new rules. The parking 1:15:14.680 --> 1:15:18.479 lots are now close. They close. You have to be 1:15:18.520 --> 1:15:19.160 out of the lots. 1:15:19.240 --> 1:15:20.600 Did they not previously? 1:15:20.840 --> 1:15:22.920 No, you have to be out of the loss at 1:15:22.960 --> 1:15:23.519 ten pm. 1:15:23.560 --> 1:15:25.559 I think I know people have left their car there overnight, 1:15:25.640 --> 1:15:28.280 not because they were trying to have some advantage. They 1:15:28.320 --> 1:15:30.160 just you know, went out and went home or something. 1:15:30.200 --> 1:15:35.560 So the loss now closed and they reopened at six am. Unfortunately. 1:15:36.479 --> 1:15:39.360 You know, people are driving from high and far in here, 1:15:39.439 --> 1:15:41.600 and people get here this is the biggest day of 1:15:41.640 --> 1:15:42.240 their lives. 1:15:42.560 --> 1:15:44.599 Met a couple that will come at three thirty driving 1:15:44.600 --> 1:15:46.120 from like an hour away yesterday. 1:15:46.360 --> 1:15:50.439 They get here before six am. So what happens The 1:15:50.479 --> 1:15:52.120 cars just start piling up. 1:15:52.720 --> 1:15:54.240 That sounds like a nightmare. 1:15:54.479 --> 1:15:57.000 So all of a sudden, they traded. They traded a 1:15:57.040 --> 1:16:01.480 few people camping camping out just in the lot to 1:16:01.479 --> 1:16:04.639 do a traffic jam in washing road in every direction. 1:16:05.000 --> 1:16:08.519 This was this weird and ugly head for Antwha where 1:16:08.560 --> 1:16:12.120 they debuted this on the weekend was a disaster. Apparently, 1:16:12.400 --> 1:16:15.360 huge traffic issues at early hours of the morning with 1:16:15.479 --> 1:16:18.439 like people, the people that need to get there early 1:16:18.479 --> 1:16:21.360 in the morning are stuck in traffic. Yeah, so this 1:16:21.439 --> 1:16:23.799 has been this is a this is a storyline to watch. 1:16:24.520 --> 1:16:27.680 Oh you want a good story speaking of camping, I 1:16:27.720 --> 1:16:31.960 love that heard a story unsubstantiated, extremely unsubstantiated that back 1:16:32.000 --> 1:16:35.439 in the eighties that a traveling group from a different country, 1:16:35.520 --> 1:16:40.280 what they've been called foreigners. Back then, you could come 1:16:40.320 --> 1:16:42.920 in like Monday for nothing like five bucks or whatever 1:16:43.000 --> 1:16:47.200 you could get in and they stayed and camped in 1:16:47.240 --> 1:16:50.120 that pocket between where there's now a structure left of 1:16:50.160 --> 1:16:53.599 six green behind seventy. It was it was very dense 1:16:53.720 --> 1:16:57.720 woods then, and they stayed through the week and then 1:16:57.760 --> 1:17:01.639 they started like grilling something and this smoke ratted them out, 1:17:01.680 --> 1:17:04.120 like they got they got found out because they got 1:17:04.160 --> 1:17:07.839 smoked out very or like old one of those Augusta legends. 1:17:07.880 --> 1:17:10.320 But I heard that today that there was a group 1:17:10.400 --> 1:17:13.320 following one of their you know, foreign icons, and uh yeah, 1:17:13.360 --> 1:17:15.200 I was camping there. This is a different era. It 1:17:15.280 --> 1:17:18.200 would not fly today. All right, what else we got? 1:17:18.240 --> 1:17:21.920 We're doing storylines? Nobody else is talking aboutline?

This was the early 1:17:40.160 --> 1:17:42.919 start was can live guys win at majors? 1:17:42.920 --> 1:17:43.080 Well? 1:17:43.360 --> 1:17:45.800 Now, how can Live grads win at majors? We haven't. 1:17:45.880 --> 1:17:48.200 This is the first time ever you've been to Live, 1:17:48.320 --> 1:17:50.599 you've been out of the fire. Can you win at 1:17:50.600 --> 1:17:51.080 a major? 1:17:51.200 --> 1:17:56.840 How about Reid's commentary about the tournament, like how so good, 1:17:57.000 --> 1:17:59.479 Like you know, he for anybody that missed it. He 1:17:59.520 --> 1:18:03.759 basically talked about, like how nice it is the feel 1:18:03.800 --> 1:18:06.400 of a golf tournament, a feel of golf tournament, and 1:18:06.560 --> 1:18:09.280 this is so true. Anybody that's played in their club 1:18:09.360 --> 1:18:13.559 championship has felt this probably and gotten to the finals 1:18:13.760 --> 1:18:16.120 or the in the mix of a you know, a 1:18:16.160 --> 1:18:20.439 club tournament where the range is busy and then it 1:18:20.600 --> 1:18:23.880 just like slowly dissipates out and finally if you're playing 1:18:23.880 --> 1:18:25.760 at the end, if you're playing the last pairing, you're 1:18:25.800 --> 1:18:28.240 the only ones there. You know, we saw this last 1:18:28.320 --> 1:18:32.120 year with like it was like, you know, the stage 1:18:32.200 --> 1:18:34.800 was set for Rory and Bryson. They're the only two 1:18:34.840 --> 1:18:37.800 on the range hidden balls, and it's like, you know, 1:18:37.840 --> 1:18:40.679 this this great moment and there's almost like this tension 1:18:40.720 --> 1:18:44.040 between the players. And Reid talked about just like how 1:18:44.080 --> 1:18:46.599 that had been missing from his life and how nice 1:18:46.640 --> 1:18:48.439 it was for that to be back in his life. 1:18:48.479 --> 1:18:51.519 And it's like, yeah, that was a great quote like 1:18:51.560 --> 1:18:54.760 the dynamic of I mean, as a podcast called the 1:18:54.800 --> 1:18:57.360 Shotgun Start, it felt pretty like in a personal attack. 1:18:57.439 --> 1:18:59.800 But he's not not big on the Shotgun Started as 1:18:59.800 --> 1:19:02.880 a comes to a competitive environment. It did sound like 1:19:03.240 --> 1:19:05.280 I don't want to say that was really spur the 1:19:05.320 --> 1:19:07.600 moment or fly bys. It sounded like he might have 1:19:07.720 --> 1:19:10.720 just been in Dubai and feeling it, like, hey, I 1:19:10.760 --> 1:19:12.640 want to go back. I want to go back and 1:19:12.680 --> 1:19:16.080 do like competitive PGA tour golf. It kind of maybe 1:19:16.080 --> 1:19:18.519 that happened quicker than we thought. Maybe it didn't, but 1:19:18.520 --> 1:19:22.000 but the way he was portraying it great quote postgrad life. 1:19:22.880 --> 1:19:27.000 One more storyline. No one's talking about skip It aftermath. 1:19:28.439 --> 1:19:30.479 I think skip it might be screwing up players and 1:19:30.600 --> 1:19:32.880 players swings. I think we need to end skip It. 1:19:32.960 --> 1:19:35.679 I think I'm done. It feels like just a content thought. 1:19:36.080 --> 1:19:39.400 Skipp It card Arnival. You got these people in these 1:19:39.439 --> 1:19:43.280 stands urging everybody to skip it. Now there's caddies skipping it. 1:19:43.320 --> 1:19:45.400 They're getting in the way of pace of play. For 1:19:45.520 --> 1:19:48.960 practice rounds, we watched one caddy to top it in 1:19:49.000 --> 1:19:51.040 the drink two feet in front of him. Another hit 1:19:51.080 --> 1:19:53.479 a driver across. I just think we need to do 1:19:53.560 --> 1:19:56.280 away with skip It. I'm no fun league. I'm done 1:19:56.280 --> 1:19:59.600 with skip it that thing. I mean, you know, my 1:20:00.000 --> 1:20:00.920 personal thoughts on them. 1:20:00.920 --> 1:20:03.960 We might be sending PJ PJ into the merch tent 1:20:04.080 --> 1:20:07.040 to get get a skip it hack. We might for 1:20:07.120 --> 1:20:12.160 a potential experience with you. Those are more few more storyline. 1:20:12.200 --> 1:20:14.080 I got a couple that that you guys haven't seen 1:20:14.160 --> 1:20:17.240 yet that what's that? I'll throw up here one day more? 1:20:18.000 --> 1:20:22.599 Can Zach Johnson play four days after dominating three day 1:20:22.600 --> 1:20:24.439 events recently? Can he go back? 1:20:24.560 --> 1:20:26.360 Oh? This is a this is a question he could 1:20:26.400 --> 1:20:29.559 lean on with his uh, his friends on the Lift Tour. 1:20:29.840 --> 1:20:34.679 Maybe he could ask UH, I don't know DJ related 1:20:35.040 --> 1:20:37.559 they were a Baster's champions. Maybe that's what they're gonna 1:20:37.560 --> 1:20:38.080 be talking about it. 1:20:38.160 --> 1:20:41.880 They could chop it up, yeah, they there's plenty of 1:20:41.960 --> 1:20:45.200 live representation, Sergio. He could chop it up with anybody. 1:20:45.280 --> 1:20:48.320 But I think J top ten last year here. 1:20:49.000 --> 1:20:51.840 People forget that. People do forget that. And then we 1:20:51.920 --> 1:20:55.160 have one from from La Manya that I'll throw in uh. 1:20:55.280 --> 1:20:59.599 An anonymous player upset about in early morning tea time 1:20:59.720 --> 1:21:05.040 not not thrilled was not breaking breaking news to this player. 1:21:05.120 --> 1:21:10.600 Mamaya witnessed it live and this player was laughing maniacally 1:21:10.640 --> 1:21:12.400 at the fact that he had to get up early 1:21:12.439 --> 1:21:13.160 tomorrow morning. 1:21:13.360 --> 1:21:15.719 So just wait you Thursday morning? 1:21:15.800 --> 1:21:17.000 Thursday or Thursday morning? 1:21:17.200 --> 1:21:21.200 Should that be key for Homa? We're just we're gonna. 1:21:22.800 --> 1:21:25.880 Maybe maybe that's what about big potty? 1:21:25.960 --> 1:21:26.839 He likes to giggle. 1:21:27.000 --> 1:21:28.080 Couldn't be big potty? 1:21:29.080 --> 1:21:32.760 All right, great, big partty. I've embraced the opportunity to 1:21:32.840 --> 1:21:33.679 learn from the legend. 1:21:33.840 --> 1:21:37.160 I mean, I hope he he has the driver and 1:21:37.200 --> 1:21:40.519 he starts. I want to see Ali's head explode. That'd 1:21:40.560 --> 1:21:40.920 be great. 1:21:42.439 --> 1:21:43.920 Pretty sure she should. 1:21:43.640 --> 1:21:46.120 Probably ask Alli about it if he gets the drive. 1:21:46.080 --> 1:21:48.400 If it happens, I yeah, I think I think I'm. 1:21:48.200 --> 1:21:49.679 Gonna watch that Thursday morning. 1:21:49.720 --> 1:21:52.000 It's gonna be great. It's gonna be great. 1:21:52.160 --> 1:21:54.080 Love it all right? All right? What else do we got? 1:21:54.120 --> 1:21:57.080 Any other storylines? Quotables? Do we want to get the quotables? 1:21:57.120 --> 1:21:58.040 I don't have a whole lot. 1:21:58.080 --> 1:21:59.920 I don't have time. I think we've already talked to 1:22:00.080 --> 1:22:00.920 out most of the quote. 1:22:01.000 --> 1:22:04.040 I just have the quote of the week, the quote 1:22:04.040 --> 1:22:09.000 of the week or the question of the week. Can 1:22:09.080 --> 1:22:11.559 you guess who this was asked to? That's from a medium? 1:22:11.960 --> 1:22:12.639 I think I know. 1:22:12.760 --> 1:22:14.800 If you had Tiger Woods in front of you right now, 1:22:15.000 --> 1:22:18.280 what words of encouragement would you give? Him. 1:22:18.439 --> 1:22:20.880 I mean, I think about like Justin Thomas would be 1:22:21.120 --> 1:22:25.559 a good person to ask this too. Freddie, Yeah, Freddy 1:22:26.000 --> 1:22:29.320 Jason Day gave a good a good response to these questions. 1:22:29.400 --> 1:22:31.400 If you had Tiger Woods in front of you right now, 1:22:31.439 --> 1:22:33.719 what words of encouragement would you give him? Who would 1:22:33.760 --> 1:22:38.360 you ask this to? Well, this guy asked a Jacob Bridgeman, 1:22:38.880 --> 1:22:42.200 number one player in the world. The Bridgeman was asked 1:22:42.240 --> 1:22:45.320 for his thoughts on what lecture he would give Tiger 1:22:45.920 --> 1:22:48.800 What an insane question from someone who clearly has no 1:22:48.960 --> 1:22:53.599 concept of the current golf moment. And Bridgeman, like to 1:22:53.680 --> 1:22:56.400 his to his credit, de mourd and gave him something 1:22:56.439 --> 1:22:59.360 to work with, and everybody's thinking about him and hoping 1:22:59.400 --> 1:23:03.000 he can do what's best. Then this dufus follows with 1:23:03.080 --> 1:23:05.240 the same sentiment with Phil not being here. 1:23:05.720 --> 1:23:08.200 Bridget Richard's never played with Richmond. 1:23:07.800 --> 1:23:10.439 Says, yeah, I don't know. I don't know actually, and 1:23:10.479 --> 1:23:12.200 he goes, is it going to be odd not to 1:23:12.240 --> 1:23:17.200 see Phil around here? This is Bridgeman's first so he's 1:23:17.240 --> 1:23:19.280 never been here. He would doesn't know what odd even 1:23:19.360 --> 1:23:22.240 or anything. He goes, yeah, I've only played two tournaments 1:23:22.240 --> 1:23:24.920 in my life. That Phil has been in So not 1:23:25.000 --> 1:23:27.320 a big change for me, but maybe if I was 1:23:27.320 --> 1:23:30.599 a spectator watching on TV. But not a big change 1:23:30.600 --> 1:23:33.880 for me. Who's going at Bridgman about Tiger and Phil? 1:23:34.080 --> 1:23:36.800 I can tell you I was. I was watching this unfold. 1:23:36.880 --> 1:23:40.040 But I have to give this person props because it 1:23:40.120 --> 1:23:44.000 also he also I believe, I don't want to I 1:23:44.040 --> 1:23:47.639 believe this was the same person asking about Tiger rolled 1:23:47.680 --> 1:23:52.639 over to Jason Day and delivered this question. For long 1:23:52.680 --> 1:23:57.400 time shotgunners, this was a moment of our Early Masters 1:23:57.520 --> 1:24:00.920 podcast when we found out that Jay Day was using 1:24:01.040 --> 1:24:07.200 balloons twenty nineteen. He was using balloons first back issues, 1:24:07.680 --> 1:24:13.400 and this same reporter did have the wherewithal ask Jason 1:24:13.479 --> 1:24:16.919 Day do you still do that thing with the balloon, 1:24:17.280 --> 1:24:20.400 to which Jason Day said, yeah, every now and then, 1:24:21.000 --> 1:24:23.760 love the balloons. Essentially, what happens is you have to 1:24:23.760 --> 1:24:27.200 really understand why things go wrong in your body. So 1:24:27.320 --> 1:24:32.120 for me, my diaphragm tightened up a lot. So the diaphragm, 1:24:32.720 --> 1:24:40.640 oh god, that like this is you know the transcriptor 1:24:40.760 --> 1:24:43.760 did not get this right. So when my diaphragm gets 1:24:43.760 --> 1:24:46.160 a little off, gets a little tight, then things start 1:24:46.200 --> 1:24:49.120 to react. And you know, I start getting a little tight. 1:24:49.760 --> 1:24:52.280 Other things happen limits my range of motion through the 1:24:52.320 --> 1:24:56.439 swing and rotation, so then I creates bad tendencies. So 1:24:56.479 --> 1:24:59.360 he does a lot of breath work, works with the diaphragm, 1:24:59.520 --> 1:25:03.639 but still does those balloons, still working with balloons. He's 1:25:03.640 --> 1:25:08.240 still the balloon boy. Maybe he should have looked into 1:25:08.360 --> 1:25:11.360 I mean, I loved I loved the best with all 1:25:11.360 --> 1:25:15.479 the birds on it. Yeah, that was objectively great. 1:25:15.640 --> 1:25:16.639 You liked it, all right? 1:25:16.680 --> 1:25:18.960 Maybe he should he should talk to Nico about getting 1:25:18.960 --> 1:25:19.599 the hot air balloon. 1:25:19.640 --> 1:25:21.320 Shore love that the hot air balloon. 1:25:21.360 --> 1:25:21.640 All right. 1:25:21.680 --> 1:25:23.760 One more quote, I would just say Bryson shouting out 1:25:23.800 --> 1:25:27.120 the Texarcana golf courses breaking fifty is a great master's 1:25:27.200 --> 1:25:28.120 prep was hilarious. 1:25:28.240 --> 1:25:33.479 Former former length for Moreau golf course. Yeah, I hope 1:25:33.479 --> 1:25:36.000 one day they restore their length for bureau Greens. 1:25:36.400 --> 1:25:38.880 It looks really cool. Empty in the notebook. Any other 1:25:38.960 --> 1:25:41.360 quick odds and ends empty in the notebook. 1:25:41.400 --> 1:25:42.800 I know you have them. But we're gonna have live 1:25:42.840 --> 1:25:44.800 shows every night. A lot of these are ever green. 1:25:44.840 --> 1:25:47.040 I gotta see anything that has to go. 1:25:47.200 --> 1:25:49.679 We could do. A great one we saw was four 1:25:49.720 --> 1:25:53.360 Caddies from number one t You know, this is just 1:25:53.400 --> 1:25:56.720 a practice round tradition. At this point, four caddies in 1:25:56.720 --> 1:25:59.479 their white jumpsuits got her up. It was Xander's caddy, 1:25:59.520 --> 1:26:00.080 a couple of. 1:26:00.080 --> 1:26:02.240 There's spawning kitty Cat. 1:26:03.400 --> 1:26:06.320 They were looking at a provocative line off number one, 1:26:06.400 --> 1:26:09.760 like right into ninth ninth fairway off one that left 1:26:09.880 --> 1:26:12.559 right over the trees. They were gunning it from that 1:26:12.680 --> 1:26:15.240 angle up and over the trees to one green. They 1:26:15.280 --> 1:26:18.760 were all there together shooting it together. Interesting right at 1:26:18.760 --> 1:26:22.879 the leaderboard. That's a note from the board. Another note 1:26:23.360 --> 1:26:25.920 hearing rumblings. You know how they collect all the range 1:26:26.000 --> 1:26:29.160 data on the Masters app and all that that they 1:26:29.240 --> 1:26:34.439 might bring that to the live leader board. So if 1:26:34.600 --> 1:26:38.280 so kitty Cat pulls a nine iron on the third 1:26:38.400 --> 1:26:42.559 why or whatever the fifth toll, they will show you, well, 1:26:42.560 --> 1:26:44.880 here's this dispersion when he was hitting the nine iron 1:26:44.880 --> 1:26:46.880 on the range, and they'll have like this are the 1:26:46.960 --> 1:26:49.760 data front. So that's interesting. I got data overloaded. 1:26:49.800 --> 1:26:50.719 I got a data note. 1:26:50.760 --> 1:26:51.800 Yeah, what do you got on that? 1:26:52.400 --> 1:26:55.160 I talked to a veteran data collector today who told 1:26:55.200 --> 1:26:58.519 me his veteran data collector his favorite player is Patrick 1:26:58.560 --> 1:27:03.880 Cantley because there was lots of time to input the data. 1:27:04.280 --> 1:27:06.760 I gotta I got a couple of notes here. What else? 1:27:07.080 --> 1:27:10.799 I noticed that Bubba and Max Grazerman were playing together, 1:27:11.000 --> 1:27:12.680 and I was just wondering, what do you think they 1:27:12.720 --> 1:27:13.439 were talking about? 1:27:14.040 --> 1:27:16.760 BK joined that group too. When I picked that up, 1:27:16.840 --> 1:27:17.960 that was an interesting. 1:27:17.640 --> 1:27:19.600 By the way, we gotta we gotta put BK and 1:27:19.640 --> 1:27:23.200 read in the like mid WU right, right, We're not 1:27:23.240 --> 1:27:26.320 disrespecting in the mid WU category. Right. It was like 1:27:26.760 --> 1:27:28.320 sneaky people we should be. 1:27:28.520 --> 1:27:30.080 I don't even think any of them are sneaky at 1:27:30.080 --> 1:27:30.400 this point. 1:27:30.479 --> 1:27:32.080 I also just want to get in front of this. 1:27:32.280 --> 1:27:34.200 I think this is going to be a question on 1:27:34.200 --> 1:27:37.160 on on social media platforms. What's going on with John 1:27:37.240 --> 1:27:37.800 Rom's hair? 1:27:41.800 --> 1:27:43.040 I noticed that last night. 1:27:43.439 --> 1:27:45.439 I just think this is gonna be a story when 1:27:45.520 --> 1:27:50.960 when people see it on the cover. Yeah, it is like, wait, 1:27:50.960 --> 1:27:53.679 it's interesting, what is going on with it? With what's 1:27:53.720 --> 1:27:55.639 going on in the bag. It's a party in the back. 1:27:56.320 --> 1:27:59.559 It's it's a different kind of party, different kind of 1:27:59.600 --> 1:28:02.400 vibe in the back. Yeah, what else? 1:28:02.479 --> 1:28:02.679 Yeah? 1:28:02.720 --> 1:28:04.599 Then I had one other question. I had a question 1:28:04.680 --> 1:28:07.160 for you, for you guys. As I watched him stand 1:28:07.200 --> 1:28:10.840 over a wedge for like ten minutes. Oh boy, is 1:28:10.880 --> 1:28:12.000 Aaron Rye Washable? 1:28:12.920 --> 1:28:13.520 Watchable? 1:28:14.080 --> 1:28:18.000 We watched him with Michael Brennan, Yester who apparently can 1:28:18.160 --> 1:28:22.759 watch him to save his life. Michael Brennan, it was tough. 1:28:22.800 --> 1:28:23.400 We watched him. 1:28:23.680 --> 1:28:26.680 Yeah, it's hard, methodical. I don't think he's watchable. 1:28:26.800 --> 1:28:30.559 I mean, practice rounds are extra grueling. If you're trying 1:28:30.600 --> 1:28:32.760 to watch too, I think it's probably comes out even 1:28:32.840 --> 1:28:36.400 worse there. He's bad. Last last one one more note 1:28:36.400 --> 1:28:41.599 for me. Uh, Tiger is really not persona non grata 1:28:41.760 --> 1:28:46.120 as much as he could be anywhere, right. I don't think, 1:28:46.320 --> 1:28:48.280 you know, with what they had planned for the patch 1:28:49.160 --> 1:28:51.280 and the big rollout and all this stuff, and Tiger 1:28:51.360 --> 1:28:52.559 was going to be a part of that, I don't 1:28:52.600 --> 1:28:55.920 think the membership and the club and the Master's tournament 1:28:55.960 --> 1:28:59.760 are super thrilled with the Tiger. And that's just you know, 1:29:00.320 --> 1:29:04.920 Phil's gone and it just seems like not. I don't 1:29:04.920 --> 1:29:06.519 know if he was going to try to play, but 1:29:06.600 --> 1:29:09.479 it just and he's told not. It just doesn't seem 1:29:09.520 --> 1:29:12.080 like they're super thrilled with how the timing of all 1:29:12.080 --> 1:29:13.960 that happened right as they were going to do the patch. 1:29:14.240 --> 1:29:17.080 Seems like the PG of America might have dodgable it too. 1:29:17.640 --> 1:29:20.320 Oh thank you. Yeah. On the timing. 1:29:20.640 --> 1:29:23.720 Yeahah, so we have no Phill, no Tiger PJ. By 1:29:23.720 --> 1:29:25.439 the way, last a little bit of no merch report. 1:29:25.520 --> 1:29:27.719 You had a great article in the merch tent today. 1:29:28.240 --> 1:29:31.560 We had sanity. We had a yeah, nomes everywhere. We 1:29:31.640 --> 1:29:34.800 got prices for the maj On set, three ninety five 1:29:34.880 --> 1:29:38.080 for tiles, one hundred for the board, and eighty for 1:29:38.120 --> 1:29:38.479 the bag. 1:29:38.600 --> 1:29:41.040 I don't really play in the Majong marketing place, so 1:29:41.120 --> 1:29:42.960 that might be a fair price. I couldn't tell you, 1:29:43.000 --> 1:29:44.160 but it seems like a lot of money. 1:29:44.160 --> 1:29:46.960 We also got word that Golf Channel ran rough shot 1:29:47.080 --> 1:29:49.760 over early access to ours. Golf Channel people came in 1:29:49.800 --> 1:29:51.440 and just started apparently. 1:29:51.320 --> 1:29:56.080 Early access for the partners like Ups Mercedes.

I was devastated to learn this afternoon 1:30:48.680 --> 1:30:50.559 that Tom Watson does a. 1:30:50.479 --> 1:30:52.160 Better Jack Nicholas impression that I do. 1:30:52.280 --> 1:30:55.080 And if you guys saw him on Live from he 1:30:55.160 --> 1:30:58.200 was talking like Jack is telling a story about one 1:30:58.200 --> 1:30:59.680 of the Masters where Jack beat him. I think so 1:30:59.680 --> 1:31:02.559 many five i'vean he was saying, you know that. He's like, 1:31:02.560 --> 1:31:04.599 what why did you hit six iron there? And Jack 1:31:04.720 --> 1:31:06.600 was like, wow, club wouldn't win me the tournament and 1:31:06.600 --> 1:31:09.160 it was so good, it was so much better that. 1:31:09.200 --> 1:31:10.680 I'm I'm kind of devastated. 1:31:10.680 --> 1:31:14.640 This is another example of athletes taking media jobs. This 1:31:14.720 --> 1:31:17.080 is like what over ran ESPN is like just all 1:31:17.080 --> 1:31:18.280 the all the people. 1:31:19.040 --> 1:31:20.880 Is probably going to be talking golf this week.

I was a little 1:31:32.880 --> 1:31:36.000 more serious. Bryson's got the weirdest vibe going on. 1:31:36.080 --> 1:31:38.479 I know this isn't gonna come as a shock, but uh, 1:31:39.360 --> 1:31:42.280 Shane Ryan wrote something this today that kind of came 1:31:42.600 --> 1:31:45.080 just like a vibes check on every player in the field, 1:31:45.840 --> 1:31:51.840 and he sort of basically described Bryson's vibe as I'm 1:31:51.840 --> 1:31:54.479 going to get this right here. Uh, if you were 1:31:54.479 --> 1:31:56.600 going to rank his bad vibes, it would be just 1:31:56.680 --> 1:32:00.000 the unshakable, upsetting sense that everything you see is artific 1:32:00.400 --> 1:32:04.760 and exists atop a layer of unsatisfied yearning and incurable sadness. 1:32:05.479 --> 1:32:07.280 And like that's I if I were to sort of 1:32:08.120 --> 1:32:11.040 ask someone to kind of nail Bryson's whole m O, 1:32:11.200 --> 1:32:14.400 I think that would be it like obvious that Bryson 1:32:14.400 --> 1:32:17.920 has done a lot of work on himself and wants 1:32:17.960 --> 1:32:21.200 to sort of be seen as a kind of you know, 1:32:21.280 --> 1:32:24.559 more mature person, person with a little bit more grounding, yeah, 1:32:24.560 --> 1:32:27.640 and intellectual who doesn't want to be snippy and combative, 1:32:28.439 --> 1:32:31.040 and yet there's just like a little tinge of like 1:32:31.160 --> 1:32:33.280 this is all kind of a show, like this is 1:32:33.320 --> 1:32:34.120 all sort. 1:32:33.880 --> 1:32:36.080 Of a living YouTube. 1:32:36.160 --> 1:32:41.840 Video that's in pretty conspicuous layer and the tinge. 1:32:41.920 --> 1:32:43.840 And I am someone who I think has had a 1:32:43.880 --> 1:32:46.840 more sympathetic view of Bryson and a lot of people, 1:32:47.479 --> 1:32:50.400 I feel like, I just you know, I want him 1:32:50.400 --> 1:32:54.280 to find contentment and happiness and I just don't know 1:32:54.920 --> 1:32:58.120 what exactly the the answers for him.

He's like, I probably should 1:35:07.680 --> 1:35:10.040 have been paying more attention to my homework whatever, but 1:35:10.160 --> 1:35:14.000 I just like was obsessed with watching it.

But people are going to watch 1:35:42.560 --> 1:35:45.280 this YouTube stuff that Bryson's done for decades to come, 1:35:45.320 --> 1:35:49.000 and like you've just created a hundred Bryson dose chambos, 1:35:49.160 --> 1:35:52.240 you know, a million these gambos. We're going to see 1:35:52.840 --> 1:35:56.120 more of these kind of generation. 1:35:56.520 --> 1:35:56.680 Yeah. 1:35:57.080 --> 1:36:00.559 Yeah, my fast pick is generation. 1:36:00.760 --> 1:36:02.800 Yeah, my my final one. 1:36:03.040 --> 1:36:03.160 Uh. 1:36:03.320 --> 1:36:04.800 It's just the kind of you guys touched on this 1:36:04.800 --> 1:36:07.800 a little bit as the Tiger stuff. You know, one 1:36:07.800 --> 1:36:11.040 thing the media stories always kind of fascinate me and 1:36:11.080 --> 1:36:14.320 annoy me, but like there there's one person out there 1:36:14.360 --> 1:36:16.639 who's asking all those tiger questions, right and look good 1:36:16.640 --> 1:36:20.360 for you. You're writing a story like people feel like your 1:36:20.400 --> 1:36:22.880 readers want to get the tiger dish of things. But 1:36:22.920 --> 1:36:25.040 then what I think bugs me a lot is like 1:36:25.120 --> 1:36:28.439 all these headlines that are like Tiger on everyone's mind, 1:36:28.640 --> 1:36:30.680 you know, come at Augusta. 1:36:30.760 --> 1:36:31.759 That's just not true. 1:36:32.120 --> 1:36:35.000 He's on Jacob Bridgman spot Yeah, but like Jacob Bridgman 1:36:35.080 --> 1:36:36.880 didn't come here being like, well, I hope I get 1:36:36.880 --> 1:36:38.160 asked the Tiger Woods question. 1:36:38.479 --> 1:36:40.160 It's probably like holy grade the. 1:36:40.160 --> 1:36:42.880 Pain I was standing there, what Day went through this 1:36:43.040 --> 1:36:46.600 ringer h and like you know, he he stood up 1:36:46.640 --> 1:36:50.320 there and gave like really good responses for like five minutes, 1:36:50.360 --> 1:36:52.880 and you could just see him get done and just be. 1:36:52.920 --> 1:36:57.799 Like, oh, thank God, good for Day for like answering 1:36:57.920 --> 1:36:59.760 like in some kind of honest way, Like I think 1:36:59.760 --> 1:37:02.920 it was selfish whoever to drive like that's you're risking 1:37:03.240 --> 1:37:07.360 like giving like being excommunicated from the Tiger circle forever 1:37:07.600 --> 1:37:08.960 just by being a little bit honest. 1:37:09.000 --> 1:37:11.200 Did we wad into that that was a plot. 1:37:11.360 --> 1:37:13.720 So, but it's a tough position to put these guys 1:37:13.720 --> 1:37:16.040 in and then to frame it as if like they're 1:37:16.080 --> 1:37:18.519 the ones who brought up Tiger throughout the day, like 1:37:18.600 --> 1:37:20.880 grabbing media people as they walk by and be like, hey, 1:37:21.240 --> 1:37:22.559 I just want you to know I have some Tiger 1:37:22.600 --> 1:37:24.639 thoughts and get off my chest. Yeah, that's the way 1:37:24.640 --> 1:37:26.240 it was sort of framed in some places. 1:37:27.040 --> 1:37:30.040 I mean, he's not been like a competitor here since 1:37:30.080 --> 1:37:32.800 twenty nineteen, even if he were playing he's not the 1:37:32.840 --> 1:37:35.960 defending champ. It's just insane how we force him into this. 1:37:36.360 --> 1:37:39.800 Listen, then, in some respects, like the Masters is with 1:37:39.880 --> 1:37:42.840 the best media is like gets produced all year for golf, 1:37:43.160 --> 1:37:46.040 and also some of like the absolute worst. Sure sure, 1:37:46.800 --> 1:37:49.080 I think you know, there's a real case to be 1:37:49.120 --> 1:37:51.800 made that of course, like the Ownship nuxt book about 1:37:51.840 --> 1:37:54.240 Rory is coming out this week whatever, and I think 1:37:54.240 --> 1:37:56.280 it's like from what I understand, I haven't gotten all 1:37:56.280 --> 1:37:57.840 the way through it, but it's fair he did a 1:37:57.920 --> 1:38:00.519 very you know that he worked really hard to kind of. 1:38:00.439 --> 1:38:03.040 Make sure that it wasn't sort of sensationalist or whatever. 1:38:03.320 --> 1:38:05.479 But of course, like the British tabloids and New York 1:38:05.520 --> 1:38:08.559 Posts or whatever immediately like rip the middle of it 1:38:08.560 --> 1:38:10.320 out of the context with stuff with his marriage and 1:38:10.400 --> 1:38:12.759 just you know, use it to kind of like trash 1:38:12.920 --> 1:38:15.599 things and like surface rumors and stuff. And it's just 1:38:15.840 --> 1:38:18.400 it's like using that which is like a you know, 1:38:18.520 --> 1:38:21.080 fairly nuanced and responsible something that's been vetted by legal 1:38:21.160 --> 1:38:23.000 something that he literally handed a copy of it to 1:38:23.080 --> 1:38:26.000 Rory to then like it becomes like a headline in 1:38:26.040 --> 1:38:28.559 the daily news in York Post just kind of gross, 1:38:28.560 --> 1:38:30.320 And the only reason they're doing it is because you know, 1:38:30.360 --> 1:38:32.400 it's the Masters, and they know that people are gonna 1:38:32.720 --> 1:38:35.160 like be vampires and click on it who don't follow 1:38:35.160 --> 1:38:38.160 golf whatever, And it just I'm always like just in 1:38:38.280 --> 1:38:40.479 awe of some of the great media that gets produced 1:38:40.520 --> 1:38:42.000 and always kind of like cringe at some of the 1:38:42.120 --> 1:38:45.280 how bad the bad media makes the media look during 1:38:45.320 --> 1:38:45.799 the Masters. 1:38:45.840 --> 1:38:47.519 It's just something they have to kind of live through. 1:38:47.960 --> 1:38:51.200 Bryson was an interesting cap to the day. Let's see, 1:38:51.240 --> 1:38:54.280 I'd like your you know, diagnose this there he's interesting, 1:38:54.560 --> 1:38:57.760 uh tiger stuff. I think it's done though, right Oh 1:38:57.800 --> 1:39:00.639 Bully Champions dinner. Maybe there'll be an anecdote it or something, 1:39:00.720 --> 1:39:03.960 but that's it. Should we pick winners winners? You got 1:39:04.040 --> 1:39:07.120 KVV three, were got winners all the way around. Let's 1:39:07.120 --> 1:39:10.559 go four wide? Uh, PJ you want to leave us off? 1:39:10.640 --> 1:39:13.400 I don't go PJ. KVV me in. Then Andy can 1:39:13.439 --> 1:39:14.280 cap us. 1:39:14.560 --> 1:39:16.760 Yeah, you know, I don't think this should come as 1:39:16.800 --> 1:39:21.080 a surprise to anybody. We're steering into it. I do 1:39:21.200 --> 1:39:24.439 love Xander this week, but ride or Die, let's go time. 1:39:24.560 --> 1:39:25.200 Cameron Young. 1:39:25.680 --> 1:39:29.000 Imagine if Cameron Young launched his own app I. 1:39:28.920 --> 1:39:32.679 Mean, remember how we were, Remember how we were saying 1:39:32.720 --> 1:39:35.360 that I should go be a copywriter for the Xander app. 1:39:36.200 --> 1:39:38.000 If somebody could teach me how to code, I would 1:39:38.040 --> 1:39:39.080 do the cav Young app. 1:39:39.720 --> 1:39:42.400 I would just think you could use AI now use 1:39:42.479 --> 1:39:43.320 flawed or whatever. 1:39:43.520 --> 1:39:45.960 Yeah, but you gotta you know. 1:39:46.040 --> 1:39:48.320 You were probably told when you left journalism learn the code. 1:39:48.360 --> 1:39:51.920 Yeah, mister, time to see this thing through. I can't 1:39:52.000 --> 1:39:55.040 can't leave now at the eleventh hour. I'm planning the flag. 1:39:55.600 --> 1:39:57.599 I mean, the flag has been planted for a long time. 1:39:57.760 --> 1:40:00.559 So keV, who do you like this week? 1:40:00.960 --> 1:40:01.880 I'm gonna go with Rum. 1:40:02.040 --> 1:40:06.240 I really think that he has something to prove. You know, 1:40:06.320 --> 1:40:09.080 he is one of the five best players in the world, 1:40:09.360 --> 1:40:11.240 and I think he would like to remind people. 1:40:12.200 --> 1:40:13.479 I don't you know. 1:40:13.840 --> 1:40:16.120 I we all know kind of how I feel in 1:40:16.120 --> 1:40:18.720 general about the live stuff. But I think like he's 1:40:18.720 --> 1:40:20.559 played well enough to know that he's like coming in 1:40:20.640 --> 1:40:23.800 pretty sharp, and I think like grievance helps him, and 1:40:23.840 --> 1:40:26.920 the stuff with the DP World Tour is going to 1:40:26.960 --> 1:40:30.200 be like a good you know, motivator to basically be like, oh, 1:40:30.240 --> 1:40:32.080 really you want to hold a Ryder Cup without me? 1:40:32.120 --> 1:40:34.760 And like a cycle where I won the Masters, you know, 1:40:34.840 --> 1:40:35.919 and I think. 1:40:35.840 --> 1:40:39.920 He'll probably have a pretty good public relations argument anyway, like, 1:40:39.960 --> 1:40:42.240 oh my god, you can't leave the Masters champion at home. 1:40:42.680 --> 1:40:44.840 And I just feel like we're trending to a time 1:40:44.880 --> 1:40:47.000 when he is going to like, if he gets off 1:40:47.040 --> 1:40:49.200 to a good start, I think he's gonna be really 1:40:49.240 --> 1:40:49.720 tough to beat. 1:40:50.200 --> 1:40:51.960 I have rom too. That's my pick. I don't need 1:40:52.000 --> 1:40:54.960 to add a tohole lot. You've covered the basis, Andy, 1:40:54.960 --> 1:40:55.439 who do you like? 1:40:55.960 --> 1:40:58.479 All right? I picked it. You know I'm covering my 1:40:58.560 --> 1:41:01.800 basis because if you only listen to the fried egg Pot, 1:41:01.880 --> 1:41:05.679 you heard me pick Scotti. I have, I've swerved. 1:41:05.960 --> 1:41:08.080 I love this. I love doing multiple pic. 1:41:10.360 --> 1:41:13.960 I serve. I like it. Well, you know, I saw 1:41:14.320 --> 1:41:16.200 I had to make a decision before I got on 1:41:16.200 --> 1:41:20.400 the ground. I seen the looseness, I saw the I 1:41:20.400 --> 1:41:22.559 saw some good shots. I saw some shots I wanted 1:41:22.560 --> 1:41:26.920 to see. I saw a sharpness, and I did. This 1:41:27.000 --> 1:41:29.519 is a time on her tradition, get on the grounds 1:41:29.560 --> 1:41:36.040 early week. I'm not picking Rory. I'm picking Rory, come on, 1:41:39.880 --> 1:41:40.439 come back. 1:41:40.680 --> 1:41:42.240 I love it. I was almost if you were going 1:41:42.280 --> 1:41:43.640 to pick him, I was gonna go back on my 1:41:43.760 --> 1:41:46.719 rom pick. That's great. Screw it. Well, take Rory. 1:41:46.760 --> 1:41:50.160 This guy.

We were talking about the 1:41:59.360 --> 1:42:00.160 pressure before. 1:42:00.439 --> 1:42:01.320 That was ridiculous. 1:42:01.360 --> 1:42:04.240 I've been coming to press conference since that building was open. 1:42:04.280 --> 1:42:06.280 Were supposed to clasp It's the first time they've ever 1:42:06.320 --> 1:42:07.160 put a hype video. 1:42:07.560 --> 1:42:10.120 I actually asked if we were supposed to clap. 1:42:09.920 --> 1:42:10.200 That was. 1:42:12.200 --> 1:42:14.920 That's a great pick. That's a great Honest to god, 1:42:15.479 --> 1:42:18.040 I sold. I mean, that's a great pick. 1:42:19.160 --> 1:42:20.400 Back to back. He delivered. 1:42:20.479 --> 1:42:22.640 He delivered for me last year when I picked him 1:42:22.640 --> 1:42:25.479 one and done. Were touting gambling pot. Gambling POD's gonna 1:42:25.520 --> 1:42:26.839 delivered for you when. 1:42:26.800 --> 1:42:30.439 Your when a guy went back to back, Do you 1:42:30.479 --> 1:42:32.040 know who puts the coat on him? 1:42:32.640 --> 1:42:36.960 It's chairman, chairman. I found that out after I didn't 1:42:36.960 --> 1:42:38.120 know during my pod. 1:42:38.240 --> 1:42:40.960 That's why you do a prepot, Yeah, so you can 1:42:41.040 --> 1:42:41.280 make it. 1:42:41.320 --> 1:42:43.280 I can do two preview pots. Not a lot of 1:42:43.320 --> 1:42:44.479 podcasters going to do. 1:42:44.520 --> 1:42:46.320 You can make a pick and then you can make it. 1:42:46.400 --> 1:42:48.920 You know what I will say is if he's three 1:42:48.920 --> 1:42:51.559 shots in the lead, on Sunday, like house money, baby, 1:42:51.560 --> 1:42:53.720 what do you have to lose? Like you can absolutely 1:42:53.760 --> 1:42:57.000 come running down at people and you're basically like, you 1:42:57.000 --> 1:42:59.400 know what if I win the Masters, Oh well, people 1:42:59.400 --> 1:43:00.559 will still think it's good defense. 1:43:00.720 --> 1:43:03.400 This is the thing I said it earlier. I just 1:43:03.479 --> 1:43:08.760 think he he like fully, there's a freeing aspect to 1:43:09.000 --> 1:43:11.840 something when you know you don't have to play perfectly. 1:43:12.479 --> 1:43:16.719 And last year making four doubles, you made four doubles 1:43:16.720 --> 1:43:18.080 in one. 1:43:19.360 --> 1:43:21.679 Shave that I love that. We spent ten years picking 1:43:21.760 --> 1:43:24.160 Rory like. I just like the juggling routine. I think 1:43:24.160 --> 1:43:26.760 he's got figured out that.
