1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: I miss a green, for example, I'm already upset. When

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: I find my ball in the bunker, I'm really upset.

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: And when I find my.

4
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: Ball in a brid egg Friday Egg, the dreaded Frida egg,

5
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 2: Frida Egg, Frida egg bride egg Lie, I'm about ready

6
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 2: to run off of.

7
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 3: The Welcome back to another edition of the Friday Egg

8
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 3: Golf Podcast. I am Andy Johnson today. With the Ryder

9
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 3: Cup just a couple of weeks away. I decided to

10
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 3: do something kind of fun and different with Shane Bacon,

11
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 3: who's obviously a regular guest here, host of the Getta

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 3: Grip podcast, host of the Ping Podcast, some sometime contributor

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 3: to The Friday Egg, sometime contributor to part time contributor

14
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 3: to Friday Golf's newsletter, A man of many talents, many

15
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: hats to come on and draft out the twenty four

16
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 3: Ryder Cup players as if they had no team. We

17
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: were just doing a draft like a pickup basketball. You know,

18
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 3: I take this guy, you take this guy type draft.

19
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: So I thought it was really illuminating. It kind of

20
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: reframes the argument for against different players. I guess it

21
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: removes a lot of that. But I found one of

22
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: the things interesting was where JT fell on both of

23
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 3: ours and for me, he fell a lot higher than

24
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 3: the last pick, which would kind of say maybe he

25
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: should be on the team. So anyways, that was really fun.

26
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: It was a different podcast and excited for you guys

27
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: to hear it. Before we get to Shane, let's take

28
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: a quick second to talk about one of our partners,

29

49
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 3: Shane Bacon. Bacon, I have to say I think that

50
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 3: this is happening because I was in you know, last

51
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: week when I came up with this idea for the pod.

52
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: I was doing a fantasy football draft. So are you

53
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: a fantasy football person?

54
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: Yep, yep.

55
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: Needed about eleven points from a certain Jets quarterback yesterday

56
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: to win my first games.

57
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: That was fun. That was an exciting first day.

58
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: Hey, can I throw something at you off the top

59
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: here since we're talking about football. Yeah, I was texting

60
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 2: with your with your Shotgun Start co host. I don't

61
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: know if people listen to that podcast or not. It's

62
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: a great podcast. You should listen to it. Congrats on

63
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: five years by the way, Oh thank you. But I

64
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: I was texted today. I was thinking about the Aaron thing,

65
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: and I feel like the easy comp is Gordon Hayward.

66
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: Gordon Hayward, right, I mean first like game of the

67
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: season gets injured. But that's I mean, he's not Aaron Rodger.

68
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 3: No.

69
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: I think the best comp I could come up with

70
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: is the one that hits your heart the hardest is

71
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: the Derek Rose in the playoffs.

72
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: Thing, Like, I mean, the Bulls are not the Jets.

73
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: For goodness sakes, you guys have had plenty of success

74
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: over the years, but going into the playoffs, you and

75
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: I have talked about this, I think online and offline

76
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 2: plenty of times.

77
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: But you, you and the Bulls.

78
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: Fan base were convinced you guys were going to make

79
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: the finals of potentially win. The Rose injury happens and

80
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 2: obviously things go could.

81
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: Put Yeah, yeah, I mean it was crazy. I don't

82
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if that applies. I think this is

83
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: the thing about the Rose thing that was so disheartening

84
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 3: as a Bulls fan was it was like our guy,

85
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: it was the Chicago guy. Okay, you know it was

86
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 3: the Aaron Rodgers is the Jet sky right, and the

87
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 3: US Open.

88
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: A couple of times. We're a tennis channel hat. You know,

89
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: maybe he's into it.

90
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 3: How good was the US Open?

91
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I went, I went Cindy and I

92
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: went and watched Alcarez.

93
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: Unbelievable to watch those guys in person.

94
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: I it is like quickly, you know, it's funny, as

95
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: like a kid, you have these sports streams of things

96
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: you want to see. And as I've gotten into like

97
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 3: very much of middle aged adult, the two events that

98
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 3: are just ascending the list, getting to the top of

99
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: the list are the or Wimbledon and the US Open

100
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 3: of tennis that I really want to go see. And yeah,

101
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 3: I have to say being on the West Coast for

102
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: the for the US Open, it's like the greatest thing

103
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: in the world. Those late matches. I like Bemoan. Everybody

104
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 3: says West Coast is great for sports. It's not if

105
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 3: you have a kid, like because like you have bedtime

106
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: and dinner time, like right when all the sports are on.

107
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 3: But like with with that US Open, you get the

108
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: in in those quarter final rounds, you get those late

109
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: matches that just hit right at the right time. I

110
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 3: was I brought this up on the shotgun start, but

111
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 3: I feel like one of the things that tennis does

112
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: so well is that it has the you know and

113
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 3: There are a lot of ills about tennis right now.

114
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: It is not a sport in a great place. People

115
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 3: tune in for one of them, tune in for four

116
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: events of the year. But one of the things I

117
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 3: love is the anticipation for matches, and like, you know

118
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: when they like that you were at the Alcarez Zverev

119
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: match right right like they were they were showing the

120
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 3: next round the Alcarez Medvedev, like what Alcaaz was doing

121
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: to Medvedev the previous couple matches, and you're like, get

122
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: to see how they adjust and stuff. And golf, we

123
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 3: just it's so rare we see showdowns in golf, and

124
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: it's even more rare that we ever see a repeat

125
00:06:59,320 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 3: of a showdown.

126
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I mean I listened to the pod

127
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: you guys were talking about this on and I was

128
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 2: not in my head as you were discussing this, And

129
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,559
Speaker 2: I mean, I've been preaching the match play thing for years.

130
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: I mean, not just with the Tour Championship, but just

131
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: if you.

132
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: Want to get all the best players together and make

133
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: these things what I don't know what's the new term.

134
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: It's not elevated anymore, are they calling it now?

135
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 3: Signature signature. There you go just elev.

136
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you have these signature events, but unless it's

137
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: match play, you're you're never gonna guarantee yourself. You know,

138
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: these great matchups and the fact that there's not like

139
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: a four part match play series throughout the year where

140
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: you get like twenty guys that qualify for it, and

141
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: maybe there's two floating spots that you could play your

142
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: way into, but maybe eighteen spots are guaranteed considering how

143
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: you played last year, like that would be such an

144
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: easy way to guarantee a little bit of rivalry. Think

145
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: about Phil Tiger.

146
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: Like, we never got it, never ever ever.

147
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: Got a true Phil Tiger showdown in a major chapship,

148
00:07:58,880 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: which is why you.

149
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: Got Ernie Ernie Tiger.

150
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: Shut I know you're well, did we though, did we

151
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: really get Ernie Tiger showdowns?

152
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: Felt like we got Tiger and Ernie was there.

153
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: Well, he was there, he was he wasn't uninvolved.

154
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, you know, it'd been nice if we'd

155
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: had Phil Tiger a little bit.

156
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: We get Phil Henrick and we got Tiger.

157
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: Bob May Like, if you had match play and you

158
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: had a really really small number of players, you would

159
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,119
Speaker 2: guarantee at least some of these finals would involve five

160
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: floating names that you'd care to see play each other, right,

161
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: and even in the matchups early into it, you'd get

162
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: to see Rory play Jordan Speith.

163
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: Think about too like these great match play moments. We've

164
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 3: had great match play moments. Think about Sergio Kucher. They

165
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 3: never played again, They never played each other again. Think

166
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 3: about Sir Keegan Bradley and Miguel and hell Havenez. We

167
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: never saw him play again.

168
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 2: There's too many. The problem with the match play is

169
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: there's too many people in. And I get why they

170
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 2: have sixty four. I mean, I get it's early in

171
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: the week interest that you have that many people, but

172
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 2: just cut it to about a tenth of that, you know,

173
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 2: and then let's have to top eight, top sixteen and

174
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 2: go about your business. But having a match play series

175
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: throughout the year where every you know, there's a there's

176
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: a winter tournament, and there's a fall tournament, there's a

177
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: spring tournament, and there's a summer tournament, and you win

178
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: ten million dollars if you were the highest rated person

179
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,359
Speaker 2: throughout that because obviously money runs everything.

180
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: But well, there seems to be plenty of money floating around,

181
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 3: and there might be a giant influx of money in

182
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: the sport if a certain public investment fund gets involved.

183
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: I know, just yeah, there you go, there you go.

184
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: But match play is is it needs to be more

185
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: of a king of golf, and it's just not even

186
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: in the conversation right now, which is a bummer.

187
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I talked about too like controversial matches, but

188
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 3: then you have these great matches you had. You had

189
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 3: Sergio and Phil at the right the same day as

190
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 3: as Rory and Reid, and Rory and Reid obviously got

191
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: huge headlines, right and it was an amazing start to

192
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: the match. But that Sergio Phil match was out of

193
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 3: this world and we just don't have a chance to

194
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: ever see like how great would have been after the

195
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: Sergio philm match if it was like in the spring.

196
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, yeah, these guys are playing a match

197
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 3: in this match play circuit, like there should just be Yeah,

198
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 3: as you said, some semblance of Inn's to the roots

199
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 3: of the game. It's the history of the game. The

200
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: game started as the match play sport, and it's just

201
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 3: now at this point with the match play going away

202
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 3: completely abandoned, at the professional level. It's so silly. I

203
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 3: get that there's some limitations. I get their struggles, but

204
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: if you made these as you suggested, like events, like

205
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 3: you could have four to eight matches going on all

206
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 3: the every day, it doesn't you know, just because you're

207
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 3: playing out a champion doesn't mean you can't play out

208
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: third place. You can't play out fifth place. You can't

209
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: play out and pay out the spots. Like these guys

210
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: play money matches for twenty grand. You know, they play

211
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 3: these matches regularly. There's it's no different if you're playing

212
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: an eighth place match for the difference of fifty grand.

213
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: There's there's stuff on the line, and they're competitive. They

214
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: don't want to lose. And I think that's something that

215
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: I have in here about guys, this skuld parlay at Wow.

216
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: So you know, hold on hold one second.

217
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: Just I remember the early days of you podcasting and

218
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: you didn't have that skill, and I mean watching you

219
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: grow and just become this pro is just it's just

220
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: it's made me so happy inside.

221
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: I'm not pro. I'm still very very rougher our badges.

222
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: But anyways, much like my writing, I still don't know

223
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,479
Speaker 3: where to put commas. I just guess commas.

224
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: Are so lame. Get out of here, Commas.

225
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: So we're doing a pod. We're doing a draft, and

226
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: and I thought this, you know, I found this to

227
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 3: be like a particularly like in the JT discourse, an

228
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: illuminating thing. So I asked you and I were gonna

229
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: draft teams. You've got the first pick, I've got the

230
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 3: second pick. This is a tie back to the fantasy football.

231
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,239
Speaker 3: We're gonna draft out the teams. There's no country allegiances.

232
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: There's no continent allegiance, you know, US or Europe, there's

233
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: no allegiances there. It says you're gonna pick your team

234
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 3: from the twenty four players that are playing in this

235
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 3: year's Ryder Cup. I'm gonna pick my team. And the

236
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: way I went about this process is I just kind

237
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 3: of ranked players one through twenty four. I didn't do

238
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 3: really like a deep analytics drive. I have reasons that

239
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 3: I have players in certain spots. But one of the

240
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 3: things is like you start to get to players and

241
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: you're like, oh, they might hate to lose more than

242
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 3: they want to win, and hating to lose is an incredible,

243
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 3: incredible match play trade.

244
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's what's made some of these guys

245
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: who are in terms of match play, I mean, you

246
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: think about like the column Montgomery's of the world and

247
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 2: the Endpulter.

248
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: Obviously in Sergio.

249
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if you if you went through this,

250
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: and obviously we'll hear in a bit really heavy European

251
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: side of mine on the top end. I just feel

252
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 2: like I've got a lot of the European players. I

253
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 2: just when I think of match play, for whatever reason,

254
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 2: my brain tends to go that way before it goes

255
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: to the American side of things. And I think that's

256
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: because when you and I were in our formidable years,

257
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: was when the American Ryder Cup teams were just dreadful,

258
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 2: and the teams were dreadful, and the European guys were

259
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 2: such studs.

260
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: But I leaned euro heavy to start, I have to say.

261
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 3: Then it was alarming in the middle and at the

262
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 3: bottom for the European Yes.

263
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: Yes, it's a tough spot. I will say.

264
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if you did this, but I went

265
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: I when I did my list, I did like the

266
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 2: top ten and then I did the bottom ten before

267
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 2: I did the middle.

268
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: My bottom is uh, hero heavy as well.

269
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: He heavy, it's like extraordinary, it's it's kind of crazy,

270
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: it's it's it's very and I think that's gonna be

271
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 3: kind of how this like, I don't think the bottom

272
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: matters as much, especially and I think the European team

273
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 3: we'll get into more of a preview in the coming weeks,

274
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 3: like a full preview. But one of the things I

275
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 3: think with the European team is I think they're way

276
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: more committed to the analytics, and the analytics would probably

277
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: say if you have weak players, just don't play them

278
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: until singles, you know. And I'm I'm I've heard that

279
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: this is a tough place to walk, so it'll be

280
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 3: interesting to see, like can guys do thirty six? Thirty six?

281
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: But like I'm just gonna tell show my hand. McIntyre's

282
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 3: my last guy.

283
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, I got a euro last. He's not mine,

284
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: but he's he's let me tell you, he's floating around

285
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: that all right.

286
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 3: So I'm not worried about you taking back and tire,

287
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: but he's last. If I'm the if I'm the captain,

288
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 3: I'm probably just gonna say I'm I'm not playing it

289
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: until like until Sunday. And I think there's like a

290
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 3: moral thing of like if you pick a guy, do

291
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 3: you have to play before Sunday? But like, I'm not

292
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: letting my weak links just just cost me points. And

293
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 3: I think this was the fill discourse in France when

294
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: he was completely not a course fit. He wasn't ready

295
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: to play, and they've rolled them out there and it

296
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: was just so clear that he was not going to

297
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 3: win points. It's like, why are you just giving away points?

298
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: You know?

299
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: So it's an interesting I don't know which roster I'd

300
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 3: rather have right now, and I think that's great for

301
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: this Ryder Cup.

302
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally agree with you.

303
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: It feels I think if you're an amateur golfer, I

304
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: think you should be guaranteed two matches if you're playing

305
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: in a Curtis Cup or you're playing in a Walker Cup.

306
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: But when you get to professional golf, I think it's

307
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: who's gonna give us the best chance to win this Cup?

308
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: It only happens every two years and it's one of

309
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: the most talked about events.

310
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: In our sport.

311
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 2: The issue being here, Andy is it's almost like the

312
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 2: shoebomber syndrome. Right, one guy does the shoe bomb thing

313
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: and now everybody's had to take the shoes off for

314
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: twenty years. You go back to ninety nine and one captain,

315
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: Mark James sits all of his bottom tiered guys till

316
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: the end. They lose on Sunday, and every captain scared

317
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: of doing what Mark James did. I don't think we

318
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: should look at the outlier situation as the thing to

319
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 2: lean into. I would like to see a modern captain go, hey, Bobby,

320
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: no knock to you. You're a great player, You're one

321
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: of the twelve best on the European side. You're playing

322
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: on Sunday, and that's it.

323
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: Man.

324
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: Like, if you want to play more matches, play better golf,

325
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: and then we'll get you out there more.

326
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, I mean, this is this is what

327
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 3: I would love an event on the speaking of like

328
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: loving of would love event. Remember when the NBA All

329
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: Star Game did the public drafting of players, Jokisch was

330
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 3: the last pick. Now he's the best player in the world.

331
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 3: I mean it's I mean, it's perfectly played better Like,

332
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 3: it would be so fun if they did one of

333
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: these events and then they had two captains pick the teams.

334
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 3: That would be better than the President's Cup in its

335
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 3: current form.

336
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: Well, I mean everything would be better in the President's Cup.

337
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 3: Oh so that's a shot. That's you know, that's a

338
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 3: shot against the internationals.

339
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: It's not an international thing.

340
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 2: It's just the event is is a Lesser Ryder Cup,

341
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: and it always has been.

342
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: It always win it will be.

343
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on one of my great Ryder

344
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 2: Cup ideas that the captains should have to play in

345
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 2: the last singles match against each other.

346
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: It would be so great.

347
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 3: See who would you favorite? I mean the film Phil Luke,

348
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 3: the Luke Donald Zach would be would be? I think they.

349
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 3: I think that would be a good matchup.

350
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying is I feel like if you

351
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: go through the captains over the years, it would it

352
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 2: would be a pretty good matchup. Like I would be

353
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 2: interested to see how it went. So I just think

354
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: the last match should be the captains.

355
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: That'd be so great.

356
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 3: But then the captains are like grinding on their games.

357
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 2: Zach was playing the other day. He's playing in Rome. Like,

358
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 2: you don't think he's been grinding on this game. He's

359
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: probably played twenty five PJ torvents this year, right, You.

360
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 3: Think it's a big deal that Speith can't lay and

361
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 3: Xander missed the little outing to real mean, I will.

362
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: Say it would it would be nice to have seen

363
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 2: the course before before getting there. I was texting with

364
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: somebody on the team about the course and he's like,

365
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 2: the rough is it's not us open, Thick, it's like

366
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 2: your backyard, like letting your backyard get out of hand, Thick.

367
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 2: I just think it'd be nice to see the golf

368
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: course before you get there on Monday. The only caveat

369
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: to that is they don't play till Friday, so plenty

370
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: of time to obviously get practice in. But I mean,

371
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: I don't think it hurts seeing the golf course once

372
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: if you've never seen it before.

373
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think if you have other extern circumstances, it's

374
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 3: okay to miss it. Like rumors of you know, of

375
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 3: a bachelor party. I'm fine with that. But yeah, you know,

376
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 3: it's just all right, let's go. You got the first pick.

377
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 3: Who are you taking the first pick in the in

378
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 3: the fake Ryder Cup draft? What's your team? What's your team?

379
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 3: I guess you can be bake and I'll be egg.

380
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: There you go.

381
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: It makes a lot of sense. I'm going to make

382
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: this really simple. I was battling between your two year

383
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 2: tour players. I think you're going to take the other

384
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 2: one here with the second pick, which is fine, I'm

385
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 2: going Rory off the top. I think Rory is the

386
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: alpha in golf. I also think the last Ryder Cup

387
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: has probably been eating at him for two years. And

388
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 2: I think Rory is a guy that is going to

389
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 2: show up here with the mentality that I'm going to

390
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 2: go five and oh, four and one, three to one

391
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 2: and one because he played poorly last time, and obviously

392
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: he's a guy that I think, when across the board,

393
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: has probably played the most consistent golf in the world

394
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: the last year year and a half or so. Also

395
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 2: gets to go hatless, which I think Rory really likes.

396
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: We're talking probably like a two thousand dollars haircut from

397
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 2: Rory headed into Ryder Cup week. So I'm taking Rory

398
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 2: off the top.

399
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 3: That's I figured that was where you're going. And I'm

400
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 3: I'm I'm so pleased because I got my number one

401
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 3: pick number two and the reason I have Rom.

402
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: Wow, you're taking Rom here? Yes, unbelievable. Are we doing

403
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,239
Speaker 1: snake by the way, or are you going now?

404
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: You get you get the next one? I'm not gonna

405
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna do that to you. Yeah, I'm gonna

406
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 3: give you then on this piece of paper Fantasy draft.

407
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: So I've got I'm taking Ram because I think this

408
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 3: is like the he hasn't been playing his best golf

409
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 3: is it's gonna be It's a month from when we

410
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 3: last saw him, right. I think he's gonna turn things around.

411
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 3: But the reason I'm picking him is that I think

412
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 3: that this man hates losing more so than than he

413
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 3: likes winning. Like I think there's like, you know, that

414
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 3: deep down kind of fire. I've you saw it at

415
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 3: Whistling Straights. He was just he was so into matches,

416
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 3: he was so engaged. He was a great teammate. And

417
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 3: I think I I take Ram just because he I

418
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 3: think the guy hates losing and he's obviously an elite player.

419
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 3: I like players with no holes in the game. He

420
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 3: has no holes in his game like Rory. But I

421
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: think just the edge of like I think you get

422
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 3: on the golf course with that guy, that's a guy

423
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: you don't want to play a match against. Like Rory.

424
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 3: I think it was just he's too nice to be

425
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 3: completely honest to be my first pick. I mean, he's

426
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 3: but he's but he's he is he too nice in

427
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: this event, I think Rom would piss you off. You

428
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 3: do think that would bother you?

429
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: I think that I think that Rory is too nice whatever.

430
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 2: One hundred and what is it, one hundred and one

431
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 2: week out of the year, out of the two years.

432
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 2: It's just a one hundred and three weeks out of

433
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: the two years, but the one week at the Ryder Cup.

434
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 2: I do think Rory has a little bit of that

435
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 2: I'm going to step on your throat mentality. Depending on

436
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: who he's playing. I think obviously certain guys will get

437
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 2: under his skin more than others. But uh yeah, I

438
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: mean I think Rom's a good pick. It's an interesting pick.

439
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 2: I hadn't played great the last what seven months?

440
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: About that?

441
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: You don't.

442
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 3: I'm bringing him on no holes in the game, and honestly,

443
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: he's got a physical intimidation. Brendan talked about this with

444
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 3: Brooks in the Masters.

445
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: Don't I don't buy this from you guys. I just

446
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: don't buy this.

447
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 2: It's golf because don't have to tackle anybody.

448
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 3: I think there's something to it. There's just a physicality.

449
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 3: There's going against a mountain, a mountain of a man,

450
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 3: and he's my number one pick. I'm all in. I'm

451
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 3: just pitching to him, like, I'm so happy that you

452
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 3: passed on him, because I got him. I got my guy.

453
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: Well I am surprised you passed on this guy.

454
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 3: Just like the Bear. This is the Bears trading up

455
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 3: to get Mitch. We got our guy.

456
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 2: Oh wow, did you just did you just compare it

457
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 2: to Mitch? Just ch It's just a horrible situation for you.

458
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 2: By the way, the Bears just looked terrible in Week one.

459
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 2: Oh god, it was horrible the.

460
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 3: Other year another year looking forward to the draft.

461
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: That's awful.

462
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: It's like, what is that like eight months? That's what

463
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: you're looking forward to. By the way, I have the

464
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: Packers in a winds pool.

465
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: I was in and I.

466
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 2: Knew if they got through Week one, they've got a

467
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 2: pretty good chance to win nine games. My second pick

468
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 2: is somebody I thought you were going to take off

469
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: the top, somebody who has been playing the best golf

470
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: of anybody in the world over the last two months.

471
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: And another European. I'm gonna take Victor Hovlin. I mean no,

472
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: I'm not just simply form.

473
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, my one in three players, I know who.

474
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: You're gonna take care because you're gonna take another hates

475
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: losing ever winning guy, which is fine, But I'm just

476
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 2: saying I have Rory and Victor and I think you

477
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 2: guys have discussed this on Shotgun a little bit. But

478
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 2: when you think about the twenty four players on the

479
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 2: Ryder Cup right now and you look at the picks

480
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 2: we just took, there is an argument to be made

481
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 2: that the top three players of the twenty four are

482
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 2: in fact all Europeans.

483
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

484
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 3: When was the last time they could say that? And

485
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 3: it was unfathomable to say that after the after whistling stretch.

486
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: Was like fifteenth in the world.

487
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like, who, what's going to happen to

488
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 3: this European team? Is it even going to be competitive?

489
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 3: Are they you know? Do they need to change the

490
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 3: Like these were discussions and like now we go, you know,

491
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 3: two years and it's just it's always a great reminder

492
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: of like how and we I talked about this on

493
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: the Shotguns start at the beginning of the year, is

494
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 3: that like every year three to four guys fall out

495
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 3: of the top ten in the world rankings, and you

496
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 3: never expect like it's like, oh, this guy's never going

497
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 3: to be out of the top ten. You know, there's

498
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 3: no way Matt Fitzpatrick's going to fall out of the

499
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: top ten after the last year. Now he's out of

500
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 3: the top ten, right the with the with the Brider Cup,

501
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 3: it was like, this is over for the Europeans and

502
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 3: now we're well there.

503
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: Was one spot Andy, like I thought after whistling it

504
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 2: was the Harris English spot was the floating one. I

505
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 2: thought there was literally going to be one spot that

506
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: might float in two years in what is it? Is

507
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 2: there four or five guys that aren't on the team

508
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: from that team DJ Bryson, Tony Harris. I mean, I

509
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: mean that's four off the top of my head. There

510
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: might be a fifth. It's like it's not the same team,

511
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: you know.

512
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 3: And if you did it strictly off of like points,

513
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 3: if because that was a really chalk points selection right,

514
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 3: like there was no drama, like it would be even

515
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 3: more churned because you wouldn't have JT. You wouldn't, you know,

516
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 3: like it, So yeah, he'd be on right, he was

517
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 3: like eleventh in points.

518
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean that's like going back to like all

519
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 2: twelve getting pick but yeah, I mean, but like that,

520
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: he's a question mark.

521
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something right now.

522
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 2: I don't want to spoil anything low on my list,

523
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 2: just in case you're wondering, not high on my list

524
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: right now, but.

525
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: I got.

526
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 3: All right. My next pick is Scotty. I'm taking Scotty Shuffler.

527
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 3: I had him third, I had him above Holand I

528
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 3: just think, I think, when it comes to match play,

529
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 3: tee to green game is so so so important, Like

530
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 3: it is just it when you play a guy that

531
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: hits it really good, it is just relentless and you

532
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 3: just feel like you have no hope when when they're

533
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 3: just constantly ten feet away, and I think, like you

534
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 3: look at like Sergio is never the greatest putter, but

535
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 3: he's he's awful to play against because of how good

536
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 3: of a ball striker he was, you know, or is

537
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 3: and was. And I think with Scotty Scheffler, we're gonna

538
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 3: see a similar thing where he's just he's so hard

539
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 3: to play you can roll him out in any format.

540
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 3: I know the putter is an issue, but the tee

541
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 3: to green game is such a weapon in both alternate

542
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 3: shot and and best ball. In a match play situation,

543
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 3: you know the guy's going to shoot a good score

544
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 3: because he's going to hit the ball better than probably

545
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,479
Speaker 3: everybody on the golf course, with the exception of the

546
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 3: three guys that we just picked, are the really the

547
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 3: only ones in this in this group that can hit

548
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 3: it better than him. And like from that standpoint, like

549
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 3: especially an alternate shot, you can play this guy in

550
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 3: any format. He's going to excel in any format. So

551
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 3: I love I love Scheffler, and I that's my second pick.

552
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 2: So I totally agree with what you're saying about the

553
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: ball striking thing. And I think in match play, we

554
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: you know, we think about Scotty's game this season, right,

555
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: I mean, hit it great, obviously didn't put very well,

556
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: and I mean it's been talked about a million times,

557
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 2: but there is a mental side of match play when

558
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 2: you're playing someone when Scotty's going first, no matter the format,

559
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: if it's foursomes or four ball, when they hit it close,

560
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: it makes you feel like you have got to hit

561
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: it close and stroke play, that doesn't matter if he

562
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 2: it's at twenty five, if he hats at five feet

563
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 2: and it's not a great hole location for your ball

564
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 2: striking or your the way you move the golf ball,

565
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 2: you don't feel like you got a sling one in there.

566
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 2: In match play you do, and so in that regard,

567
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 2: I totally agree with you on Scotty. I think Scotty

568
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 2: will put the most pressure on his opponents of anybody

569
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 2: of the twenty four because he's going to flag so

570
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 2: many iron shots on par threes and approach shots into

571
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 2: par fours that it puts the pressure on you to

572
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 2: hit a great shot, not a good shot. And englf

573
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 2: with these professionals. A lot of the time they're looking

574
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,959
Speaker 2: away from flag sticks, or they're playing a fat part

575
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 2: to the green knowing that pars fine, I could make

576
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: a twenty footer. You don't have that luxury when you're

577
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 2: playing Scotti Scheffler.

578
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 3: All right, I think it gets interesting here fifth pick.

579
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 3: This is where I think it goes into.

580
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 2: Like it to anybody who listen, you're gonna be You're

581
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: gonna be surprised.

582
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: I'm going I'm going to newbie here. I'm going.

583
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: Going A fella that hadn't played on a Ryder Cup team,

584
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 2: hadn't played on a President's Cup team before, really hasn't

585
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: been on many radars over the last few years.

586
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, it's a little down on

587
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: my list.

588
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 2: This is a guy that I think when whatever sports

589
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 2: book you bet on comes out with odds on you know,

590
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 2: leading American point getter or leading point getter for the

591
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: whole event, this is the person I would suggest, do

592
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: you throw a little.

593
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: Bit of money on? I'm going Brian Harmon here.

594
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: With my third no no, oh, yes. I think this

595
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 2: golf course sets up great for his game. I think

596
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 2: match play sets up great for who he is as

597
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: a person. I think he's gonna play with Kopka a

598
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 2: lot of the week, and I just think that team

599
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 2: is gonna.

600
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: Be really, really hard to knock off the stoop.

601
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 2: I think Harmon is gonna have an unbelievable week, and

602
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 2: I would not be pay surprise.

603
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 3: Hates to lose, factor, hates to lose.

604
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: I think I think three to oho to one, three

605
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 2: to one to oh, something like that is in the

606
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 2: cards for Harmon here.

607
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 3: All right, all right, I you know, I don't know

608
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 3: you didn't see that. He was pretty pretty far down

609
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 3: my list. I think it was a little bit of

610
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 3: a reach. I think you could have gotten in the

611
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 3: round eight eight.

612
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: I want you know what, I take the quarterback early

613
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 2: in fantasy. I'm not scared to take forty nine ers

614
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 2: defense a couple of rounds early. I wanted to have

615
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,719
Speaker 2: Harmon on my team. I think he's gonna have a

616
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 2: really really solid Ryder Cup. Are you you're not you're

617
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: out on him? You don't you don't love him?

618
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: All right? So real quick? Can I hear? Can I

619
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: hear why you didn't? Why you don't love Harmon? Here?

620
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 3: I just I think I'm looking at skill set. I

621
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 3: just think I got a lot of guys ahead of them.

622
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 3: I you know, and listen, I would have loved I

623
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: would have loved to snag Harmon, you know, is one

624
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 3: of my later picks, you know, and everything. I'm just

625
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 3: not going I'm not going number five with him. He's

626
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 3: gonna be, He's gonna be, and that's fine. He's just

627
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 3: not a fit for my team. We're still looking at

628
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 3: at the players with superlative talent and uh and and

629
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 3: abilities here. So by watched the open?

630
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: Do you watch the open?

631
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: Right? All those guys that were in the field this week,

632
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: they were at the Open, right?

633
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: They were there? Yeah?

634
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was they were I guess wasn't but yeah,

635
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 3: that's right, lud Big wasn't at any of the majors.

636
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: But I mean there is something to be said. I

637
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 3: wouldn't have I wouldn't have believed this if you told

638
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 3: me this at the beginning of the year that the

639
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 3: Brian Harmon was gonna run away with a major. There's

640
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 3: gonna be one player that ran away with a major

641
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three, and it was Brian Harmon that

642
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 3: nobody else had a shot on Sunday.

643
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: Really unbelievable.

644
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 3: All right. Now, for a quick word for our sponsor, Gooder.

671
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 3: back to Shane Bacon. All right, my next uh, my

672
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 3: next pick is uh, I'm going with Xander Shaffle.

673
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: Wow.

674
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 2: Wow, I mean it's listen in the at this event.

675
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: I think it's a good pick. I had them high,

676
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 2: I had them really high.

677
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 3: I uh, I just I again, no holes in his game.

678
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 3: I think that. But when you just are are extremely

679
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 3: skilled in every facet of the game, it really shows

680
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 3: off in match play where you know there are a

681
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 3: lot of high leverage moments and you don't want to

682
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 3: have weaknesses. And that's Xander Schafflee so.

683
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 2: On that in that same vein my next pick is

684
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 2: kind of a similar player, I think to Xander. I

685
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 2: think when you look at the PGA tool right now,

686
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 2: these guys are relatively comparable. Obviously, Morikawa has done more

687
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 2: in terms of winning the big events, but I'm gonna

688
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: take Mori Kawa here for two reasons. One, I just

689
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 2: think Marikawa a lot. It's Morikawa to me is very

690
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 2: similar to what you said about Scotti Schefler.

691
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna hit it close a lot.

692
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: Like bottom line is, he's gonna be a great player

693
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 2: in match play.

694
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna hit the ball close.

695
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 2: You're gonna have a lot of birdie putts if you're

696
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 2: playing obviously four ball, and your partner is gonna have

697
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 2: a lot of birdie putts if you're playing foursomes.

698
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: And I also just like the pairing.

699
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 2: I think Marikawa is gonna play with it sounds like

700
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 2: it's gonna be more Kwa Homa, And I just feel

701
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 2: like those guys are gonna be the new age kind

702
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 2: of Xander can't lay and I feel like they're gonna

703
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 2: have a great week. And obviously we saw what Max

704
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 2: was able to do at the President's Cup. And this

705
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 2: is no knock to Billy Horschel, but if you think

706
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 2: about Max in the way he played at the President's Cup,

707
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 2: he's basically trading, you know, Billy Horschel for Colin more Kala.

708
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 2: So I just feel like those two are gonna have

709
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 2: a really, really, really successful week together.

710
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

711
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 3: I think the thing with Mark Kala, the one thing

712
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 3: you didn't hit on that I love about him, especially

713
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 3: in this golf court. He's uber accurate off the tee too,

714
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 3: So you get a guy that's in play a lot.

715
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 3: And then also if you're if those guys are hitting

716
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 3: behind players, like if markw is hitting the pro shot first,

717
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 3: that's that's hard to play against. That's the guy that puts.

718
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 3: As you said, like Skotti Scheffler, it's not only par threes,

719
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 3: but it's also like par four's if he's hitting a

720
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 3: pro shots first. That's a really hard thing mentally to

721
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 3: play matches against. Because this is a different, completely different

722
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 3: mental test. People could say, oh, you should play the

723
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 3: same way as stroke play. It's impossible to play the

724
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 3: same play as stroke play in max play. And you can,

725
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 3: but you can't aim away when a guy hits it

726
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 3: to three feet like you just can't. You know, there's

727
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 3: it's not like play to the fat side of the green.

728
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 3: You have to take on shots in different moments because

729
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 3: you can't just lose holes when you have chances to

730
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 3: win hole, you know, to match them.

731
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 2: And and and Andy, that to one point you made there,

732
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 2: especially in foursomes, is Max is going to be hitting

733
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 2: those approach shots. And you know Max is one of

734
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 2: the best iron players in the world, so you're going

735
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 2: to be hitting first, and you're leaning on Max Homa

736
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 2: to hit an iron close. So there's a real good opportunity. Now, Andy,

737
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 2: you just right here it for should if you took Xander.

738
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I can't believe. I can't believe I got

739
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 3: both of them. I can't believe I got my guys.

740
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 3: All right, here we go write it down again. It's

741
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 3: just the all around talent. Right, Malleable can play any

742
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 3: format and I got Xander and can't they're there. I'm

743
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 3: rolling them out there as much as they can play.

744
00:35:58,520 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: I think I.

745
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 3: Think it's it's gonna be just like a physical aspect, Right,

746
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 3: can can they handle? Can can people handle walking this

747
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 3: golf course?

748
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: Like?

749
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 3: Is that a good idea?

750
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: Right?

751
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 3: Maybe they sit once, but I love I love both

752
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 3: of their games for alternate shot and and best ball

753
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 3: And if it were doing this make believe draft format,

754
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 3: Like these are two guys that, like they're games, you

755
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 3: don't need to pair them with anybody, like they're they

756
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 3: could play with anybody. And I think this is like

757
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 3: the thing that we get hung up too much on

758
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 3: these like pairings. It's like certain guys are going to

759
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 3: work with whoever you play and pair them with, Like

760
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 3: we saw this with Sergio. How many different partners did

761
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,959
Speaker 3: Sergia have over the years. It wasn't like that one

762
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 3: pairing was just gold. It's just certain players, certain skill

763
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 3: sets are so greatly rewarded. And I think these two

764
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 3: guys just being great all round players make them great

765
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 3: match play players because there's just a level of consistency,

766
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 3: consistency is Key and King and I love that I

767
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 3: got Xander and can't you know you you you.

768
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 2: Touch on something I've been really thinking about with these

769
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 2: Ryder Cup teams because the twenty four players you said

770
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: you can you said players can play with anybody?

771
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: Right?

772
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 2: Is this the most players can play with anybody Ryder

773
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 2: Cup ever? And you think about the twenty four players,

774
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 2: like who's an a hole?

775
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: Who's a jerk? Like?

776
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 2: Who were guys not wanting to play with? Like I

777
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 2: feel like the list is slim, if at all. It

778
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 2: feels like all of these guys could play with whomever

779
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 2: they get thrown out there with with their captains and

780
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 2: we'll be fine with it.

781
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 3: I mean, of the big names, I think the toughest

782
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 3: person to play with would be Brooks.

783
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 2: Right, but I mean it's see but I feel like

784
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 2: Brooks in this format is so good at match play

785
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 2: and he's also such a big I want to I

786
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 2: don't want to lose. I want, you know, more than

787
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 2: I want to win that I feel like with this team,

788
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 2: like no Bryson, you know, you don't have to worry

789
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 2: about whatever the hell was ever going on with Brooks

790
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 2: and DJ like Ricky, He'll play with Wyndham will play

791
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: with JT will play with, Jordan will play with. Like

792
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 2: going down the list of the Americans, there's not really

793
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 2: that combat of other partner that you wouldn't feel comfortable

794
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 2: throwing Brooks out with.

795
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 3: You know, who would you least want to play with

796
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 3: as your partner.

797
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 2: I mean that would probably be talent question more than

798
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 2: personality I talk to anybody, I mean it'd probably be

799
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 2: who we're gonna take twenty third and twenty fourth when

800
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: we get there?

801
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 3: You know, all right, who who's your next pick?

802
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: All right? So fifth pick? I'm gonna kind of follow

803
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: your lead here.

804
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 2: You went Xander Cantley, kind of leaning on a Perry,

805
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 2: and you think you're gonna see a lot in Rome.

806
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the same with more Kala. I'm gonna

807
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: take Max Homa here.

808
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 3: I just think I knew you were taking Max early.

809
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 3: I knew I didn't have to worry about taking Max.

810
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 3: It's gonna listen, listen.

811
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: It was.

812
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 2: It's just I think they're gonna be on the first

813
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 2: tea a lot together, and I think they're gonna be successful,

814
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 2: and I think they're gonna be probably the most successful

815
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 2: American team. If it's not Xander Cantley or Brooks and

816
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 2: Brian and so, I mean Max played so good at

817
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 2: the President's Cup. I just think he's gets so up

818
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 2: for this thing, and for whatever reason, when he gets

819
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 2: up for these events, he seems to play his best.

820
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 2: You think about how he's played a rib last couple

821
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 2: of years. I just feel like, I feel like it's

822
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 2: gonna be another Homer show, you know.

823
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 3: So we talked about how the top three picks were

824
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 3: all Europeans and how amazing that was. But now you

825
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 3: see how the how these things are different, right like

826
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 3: where the middle like it's just us US US US.

827
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: Straight amer Us.

828
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's it's a that's a fascinating aspect of

829
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 3: this whole competition. We talked about Max a lot with

830
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 3: more kala. The next pick I'm taking is Tommy Fleetwood CA.

831
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: No almost reached there, been.

832
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 3: Playing been playing great golf. Is uh has had some

833
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 3: really good Ryder Cup moments and just is a tee

834
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 3: to green nightmare to deal with again, a guy that

835
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 3: just hits the ball close a lot. The Butter Butterson issue.

836
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 3: But it's you know, I guess statistically he profiled his

837
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 3: like the second or third best putter on the European team,

838
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 3: which I don't know if that's a good sign for

839
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 3: the Europeans, but the uh, you know, not everyday Sunday.

840
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 3: And I like Tobby Fleetwood. I love I love him

841
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 3: for just match play purposes because of that t degreen excellence.

842
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 3: And I'm quite thrilled. I'm so I love my team

843
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 3: so far.

844
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that one hurts. That's that's my dad.

845
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 2: Drafted somebody that I really wanted the other day in

846
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 2: a fantasy draft to pick before me. And nothing gets

847
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 2: you more in fantasy than when you get that pick

848
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 2: taken right ahead of you. That's the one for me.

849
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 2: I had Fleetwood on my list. I thought I could

850
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 2: take him around five and six. I should have just

851
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 2: take him at five. I'm such an idiot.

852
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna take Homa. You know, I knew, I

853
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 3: knew you were taking him. He's off by board. I

854
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 3: just put him down at the bottom because I'm not

855
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 3: gonna reach for Homa because.

856
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: I think I got I think I got duped there.

857
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 2: I think you chessed me and I was playing checkers there.

858
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 2: Damn it all right, I'll settle for you know the

859
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 2: guy that's one of the most majors of anybody this era.

860
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: I'll take Kopka here at six.

861
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 3: All right, all right, I'm a little worried about Brooks.

862
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 2: I well, I agree with you, but I'm I'm taking

863
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 2: them in terms. I'm taking them in the sense that

864
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 2: he'll show up and play good golf. But obviously, I mean,

865
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 2: he's a question.

866
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 3: He hasn't played. He hasn't played golf.

867
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: Right, That's the thing is he's a he's a very

868
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: big question mark.

869
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 3: He hasn't played golf, and he's got a kid, a

870
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 3: new kid. I just don't think, man, I know, I

871
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 3: don't think head of an exhibition that he has, like,

872
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 3: I can't imagine he has a lot to gain from

873
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 3: this play. He's the only guy playing here from Blip, right,

874
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know. Any time you second guest Kopka,

875
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 3: he always comes out big. But for me, I'm just

876
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 3: worried about Brooks in terms of like, I think he's

877
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 3: gonna be really rusty. I don't think he really I

878
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 3: think he doesn't care that much about this. It's not

879
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 3: a major. Probably just doesn't care that much. And I

880
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 3: worry about about his his just motivation levels.

881
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 2: The hair is is is out of control, like between

882
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 2: him and burns. I mean, this is like almost show

883
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 2: shoulder linked levels hair.

884
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: Have you seen it?

885
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he looks like it. He looks like a

886
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 3: new dad.

887
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: Hey, that's a great way to put it. He looks dad.

888
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 3: He looks like a little burly.

889
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 2: He's They've ordered a lot of uber eats. Yeah, it's

890
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 2: probably not been the healthiest us I'm saying. I just

891
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 2: I've done it. You've done it, like we've all done it.

892
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 3: It's just those first few months are really hard. And

893
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 3: I don't think he has had any but I think

894
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 3: he's just probably been around. He's just been hanging around,

895
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 3: like I saw it with like it's you know, you

896
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 3: just want to be around when you have a kid,

897
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 3: if you're starting. I think, like in just reading the

898
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 3: tea leaves and reading like hearing his comments to certain

899
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 3: I can't remember where I heard him just about like

900
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 3: having the kid. It seems like he wants to be

901
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 3: a very involved parent.

902
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 2: I mean still, I will say this, I'm leaning more

903
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 2: on the talent and less on the lack of golf

904
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 2: as of late, and I just feel like going back

905
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 2: to the team mean and pairing. I think Harmon and

906
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 2: Kep are gonna play together, and I think that is

907
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 2: a sick, sick group to throw out there. If you're

908
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 2: ZJ Well, I'm.

909
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 3: Happy I get my my partner for Fleetwood. I got

910
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 3: Jordan's Speith, just a guy. I'm taking him. Uh with

911
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 3: your partner with Fleetwood. Yeah, I'm gonna pair him up.

912
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 3: That's what I see him. I like. I like the

913
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 3: match of of of Speith with Fleetwood, and uh that

914
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 3: I that's my next pick. I'm taking Jordan's Speith and

915
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 3: he's gonna pair up with Tommy Fleetwood for my team.

916
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: Oh, I see what you're saying, because this is not

917
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 2: European specific, so you're you're throwing Fleetwood in Speet out there.

918
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 3: Yeah all right.

919
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 2: So it's like it's like Jesus and then like the

920
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 2: Golden Child or playing together exactly.

921
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, you get got a guy that's

922
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 3: you know, a little bit of a wild card with

923
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 3: a with a real steady guy and uh or maybe

924
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 3: I maybe I pare him up with Scotty or Scotty

925
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 3: or Ram, you know who knows. But I'm taking speak

926
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 3: with my next pick, and I'm pretty happy to get

927
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 3: him here. I think like just in terms of like

928
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 3: he's a guy that can annoy people in match play.

929
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 3: It's just like, wait, how am I losing this guy

930
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 3: type type situation?

931
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: Hey?

932
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 2: Can I ask you a real team question for you?

933
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 2: I've been thinking about this lately and I haven't really

934
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 2: chatted with anybody about it. Let's say Jordan and Justin

935
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 2: go out, and let's say Justin doesn't play well on Friday, Okay,

936
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 2: Like they go out both sessions and JT just doesn't

937
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 2: have it like you hadn't had it for a year

938
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 2: and a half. If Zach was gonna split the team up,

939
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 2: Let's say Jordan was playing well. Who is the most

940
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 2: likely new partner to Jordan on the American side?

941
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: Scotti, It's kind of what I was thinking too.

942
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 3: I was going to I wouldn't want I like, I'll

943
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 3: tell you this much like if I was the Europeans,

944
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 3: I'd be a lot more scared of Scotty Scotti, Speith.

945
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 3: I think this is the whole. I kind of touched

946
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 3: on this earlier. I think this whole like we have

947
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 3: to pair, we have to play these guys with Xander

948
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,919
Speaker 3: and Cantley. I think Xander with anybody and can't lay

949
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 3: with anybody. You could maybe make an argument there better

950
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 3: if you split them up, because you get two really

951
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 3: really strong players. Right with With regards to Spith, I

952
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 3: think he's such a unique player in the sense of

953
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 3: like he can swing momentum, you know, like he and

954
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 3: he hits. You know, he's he's been a really good

955
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 3: t degree in this year. But like he's just got

956
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 3: kind of like a little bit of an it factor

957
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 3: where he can do some like some stuff, right, And

958
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 3: if you pair like it doesn't mean he fits well

959
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 3: with like anybody. Right, It's like saying like, hey, you

960
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 3: know we can't have Steph Curry, We've got we've got

961
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 3: this other guard. Yeah, Like it's certain players work with anybody,

962
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 3: and we shouldn't get so locked into this is the

963
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 3: pairing we have to to do, right, Like Speith was

964
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,479
Speaker 3: great with Patrick Red. Everybody's like, oh, you can't break

965
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 3: up Speith and Reid. Oh you can't break up j

966
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 3: T and Speth. Like I think Speed is going to

967
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,479
Speaker 3: be really well or do what really well with any

968
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 3: type of player you put them with.

969
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: So just for people at home counting, there are four

970
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 2: Americans left, there are eight by my count Europeans.

971
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 3: Left this wild's that's the the fascinating thing about way

972
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 3: these teams stack out. And and to thank God that

973
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 3: the Europeans had such a surge this year, because if

974
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 3: this was a couple of years ago, after that that

975
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 3: the Whistling Straits, I think we would have gotten too,

976
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 3: Like I mean, Rory probably would have gone with like

977
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 3: pick five and Hi, yeah that's it, and that, yeah,

978
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 3: top five, both those guys' top five picks, and then

979
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 3: nothing nothing for you know, Hovland wasn't hovelin now.

980
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: Right, Andy.

981
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 2: So in both of my fantasy drafts this year, I

982
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 2: took Jonathan Taylor. Okay, I took Jonathan Taylor on potential.

983
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 2: We know who he is, we know how he can play.

984
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 2: We know that if he gets traded to a team

985
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 2: that needs to have somebody in the backfield that makes plays,

986
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 2: he's gonna make plays and he's gonna be a very

987
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 2: very high rated running back in fantasy football. My seventh pick,

988
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 2: my seventh pick, is similar to that.

989
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: It is not justin Thomas. I'm not going that way,

990
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 1: uh huh. I'm going with.

991
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 2: A young player that is a generational driver the golf ball.

992
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 2: It's it as far as anybody and hits it very

993
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 2: very straight. If the game is dialed in Rome, I

994
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 2: think he could have a great week. Now, I think

995
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 2: you could also go with three and zero, like there's

996
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 2: a there's a possibility of that being the case as well.

997
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm taking Ludgig here with my seventh pick. I like Ludwig.

998
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 2: You know again, I don't know what we're going to

999
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 2: see out of him, but if he's Ludgig to a

1000
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 2: certain degree, if he's B plus Ludwig, I think it's

1001
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 2: gonna be.

1002
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: A good week for Ludgig.

1003
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 3: I mean he's gonna be able to apply a lot

1004
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 3: of pressure with the driver total. I think like you

1005
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 3: have like your all round players in people in skill sets, right,

1006
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 3: like he has a dominant skill and I like to

1007
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 3: actually think about match play with golf similar to the

1008
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 3: way tennis is. Right, you have your all round players,

1009
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,919
Speaker 3: you have your your your power players with the big

1010
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 3: serves like I think Shelton Ben Shelton would fit into

1011
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 3: that power player mold, like what we say.

1012
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: Almost a throwback from Sampress used to serve and volley, right.

1013
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 3: And then you have like Medmdev who's just like a control,

1014
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 3: like it just gets everything back right again. That's like

1015
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,919
Speaker 3: you're kind of like your Tommy Fleetwood right where he's

1016
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 3: just gonna be in play and he's gonna hit some

1017
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 3: really good shots and he's just gonna be annoying, right.

1018
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 3: And I think with Ludwig he's just this dominant skill.

1019
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 3: He can overwhelm somebody, especially at this golf course with

1020
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,240
Speaker 3: the with the setup, there's gonna be a few driveable

1021
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 3: part fours, and and that that's just the driver such

1022
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 3: a weapon. Anytime you can get somebody who might be

1023
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 3: the best in the field at a certain trait, it's

1024
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 3: it's a good thing.

1025
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: Andy.

1026
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 2: Could we see Ludwig and Rory play four ball together?

1027
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 2: Do you think there's a possibility of that?

1028
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, though you might want to split

1029
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 3: them up in four ball.

1030
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah.

1031
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 2: I just I just think more in terms of, like you,

1032
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 2: you and I've both talked about in match play, that

1033
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 2: the sensations you can feel as an opponent. And if

1034
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:18,760
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't know a ton about Marcos Simoni,

1035
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 2: but I mean I've watched the no Laying up video.

1036
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 2: I mean seems like there's gonna be drivable par four's

1037
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 2: on this golf course set up to maybe play into

1038
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 2: the hands of the Europeans. I just feel like if

1039
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 2: you if you throw those guys out there, it could

1040
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 2: be a Phil Tiger situation.

1041
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 1: Right.

1042
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 2: If it goes bad, it could go very bad, but

1043
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 2: you could have a lot of looks for eagle and

1044
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 2: chipping and hitting you know, mid to short irons into

1045
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 2: par five's.

1046
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 3: What was the match at Hazel team was it DJ

1047
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 3: and Brooks and and then Thomas Peters and Rory It

1048
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 3: was just all.

1049
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's when Peters had Peters was a rookie and

1050
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 2: won like four points.

1051
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, yeah, I think that, and it was like

1052
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 3: everybody in the everybody in it was just just just

1053
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 3: beat it. Yeah yeah.

1054
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 2: Well this this is my question too. A lot of

1055
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 2: the time with these things, right, because the teams and

1056
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 2: the captains are so involved, I wonder if the entertainment

1057
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 2: aspect of this gets thought about in team rooms, right,

1058
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 2: because it is an entertaining product, right, You're trying to

1059
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 2: have people watch it and care about it and get

1060
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 2: involved and turn the TVs on and on the entertaining side,

1061
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 2: that would get golf people geeked out, that would get

1062
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 2: sports people interested. But like you said, is it the

1063
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 2: best use of two of your power players.

1064
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you can split them up and then you

1065
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 3: get looks on both of them, and you can split

1066
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 3: split up one of them and put them with the

1067
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 3: guy I'm about to take.

1068
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: I know who this is. I know who it is.

1069
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 3: FITZI wow. Guy that's never won.

1070
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 1: Never never want a point. I never want a half point.

1071
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: A Ryder Cup.

1072
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 3: That's not hurted any semblance of a point two.

1073
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: Ryder Cups has never won a half point.

1074
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 3: He's never he's gotten a chip on his shoulder, and

1075
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 3: he's a new player. He's got some powerful I think

1076
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 3: he just got engaged. I think I saw on Instagram.

1077
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 3: You know he's a new man. It's a completely new

1078
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 3: fits and I'm taking fits again. I'm just harping on this.

1079
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 3: I want all around skill. You can do everything. He's

1080
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 3: long now. I like fits here.

1081
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: Twenty third on my list. Case you're wondering second to

1082
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: last on my list.

1083
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 3: That's fine, that's fine. I love it. This is all

1084
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,760
Speaker 3: the batters. I don't need to justify this to anybody else.

1085
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 3: All the fans of the Egg team just know we

1086
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 3: got our guy.

1087
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: Now.

1088
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 2: By the way, I just want to lay this out.

1089
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 2: There are five picks left on both teams, and this

1090
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 2: is where it gets hard. This to me, yeah, for me,

1091
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 2: really tough. This is like when you turn the fantasy

1092
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 2: on auto draft because you're like, it doesn't really matter.

1093
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,399
Speaker 2: I'm probably not gonna play these guys outside of Bie

1094
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 2: Weeks anyway, but I'm just gonna lean into a dude that,

1095
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 2: you know history has been a great putter and seems

1096
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 2: like he's good in match play and seems like a

1097
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 2: guy that gets along with everybody and everybody likes playing with.

1098
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take.

1099
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 2: Ricky here with my eighth I'm gonna take Ricky Fowler.

1100
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 2: I will never forget the match. I'll never forget it.

1101
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 2: I'll never forget Eduardo just four down with four to go,

1102
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 2: had to win all four and he did it. That

1103
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 2: was those That was the worst outfit Ryder Cup ever,

1104
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 2: which is saying something on the American side. I was

1105
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 2: watching that one the other day. Oh a shout out

1106
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 2: to the Ryder Cup YouTube page. By the way, Andy,

1107
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 2: if you watch those, I don't know if they've cut

1108
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,240
Speaker 2: audio on the matches, but they have these like fifty

1109
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 2: minute YouTube videos of old Ryder Cup matches that are great,

1110
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 2: and the audio, like if you go watch the old

1111
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 2: film matches, he is chirping so much and fit in

1112
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 2: Phil's you know manner. It is unbelievable missing putts and

1113
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 2: you hear Phil go, well, that's too bad, you know,

1114
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 2: Oh that's too bad. It's like, I don't know if

1115
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 2: they've if they've pumped up, like the natural audio and

1116
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 2: those matches on YouTube, but they are a great watch

1117
00:52:58,480 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 2: at night if the kids go to bed.

1118
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 3: Oh man, I've got something that I'm gonna be diving

1119
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 3: into the next couple of weeks. Thank you for that record.

1120
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 2: By the way, a lot of Americans on my team,

1121
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 2: A lot of Americans on my squad.

1122
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: Go ahead, I got I got Ricky.

1123
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 3: With my I've got I got another American. I thought

1124
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 3: I thought you were going to take this guy. I

1125
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 3: was really I was really no, I I thought you

1126
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 3: were going to take him. When you were describing the

1127
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 3: last player, I think he's going to have a chip

1128
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 3: on his shoulder. People are talking about, Hey, this guy

1129
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 3: shouldn't be on the team. He got snubbed in his

1130
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 3: amateur days. I'm taking Sam Burns and I think he's

1131
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 3: just got a little bit of red ass to him.

1132
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 3: And I just don't you know, I think it's a

1133
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 3: hate to lose guy with some with a lot of talent,

1134
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 3: and I think he's just got something to prove. And

1135
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 3: I and I I think people are sleeping on how

1136
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,720
Speaker 3: talented he is. Like I, you know, of all the people,

1137
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 3: think it's fair should have been left off, Like I

1138
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 3: don't think he should have been one of the people

1139
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,919
Speaker 3: left off. So I've got I've got the Sam Burns.

1140
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I, I mean I I agree with

1141
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 2: everything you said about Sam Burns. He was probably gonna

1142
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 2: be my next pick, so a little bummed you took him,

1143
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 2: But I'm with you in it. And it seems like

1144
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 2: he's gonna play with Scotty, which now you have that

1145
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 2: on your team as well, which is nice. Uh So

1146
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 2: that'll be a good pairing for ant for the team.

1147
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 2: Team agg grouping to go out. Uh I listen, two

1148
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,360
Speaker 2: Americans left, It's Wyndham Clark and JT. And I'm not

1149
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 2: taking either of them. So I gotta go European here.

1150
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 2: It's it's not great. It's not great.

1151
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 3: I thought I thought you were gonna take JT in here.

1152
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: No, no, I'm not gonna do zone.

1153
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 2: This is JT zone for you. I'm gonna go Shane

1154
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,399
Speaker 2: Lowry here. I'm just gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna take

1155
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 2: a vat that. You know he probably plays a session

1156
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 2: with Rory here there. I've got both of those guys

1157
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 2: on my team. Throw them out there, let's see what

1158
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 2: they can do. We know when Shane Lowry gets going

1159
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 2: and gets playing well, he can rock and roll. But

1160
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 2: you know, I mean I again, I think we're to

1161
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 2: the point now where I mean, you know, I'm taking

1162
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 2: him over oyguard right, all right.

1163
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 3: I got Wyndam Clark, I'm taking Wait.

1164
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 2: A minute, Wait a minute, where you you said you're

1165
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 2: taking JT.

1166
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 3: No, I was getting to the JT zone. I'm in

1167
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 3: the I'm in the range. But I got Wyndham Clark

1168
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 3: ahead of him. Obviously elite, elite driver of the golf ball.

1169
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 3: I think he he can keep up with anybody. You

1170
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 3: know what you said about Ludwig. I think Wyndham Clark's

1171
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 3: in that, in that group that could be the best

1172
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 3: driver of the golf ball in a given week. Also,

1173
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 3: as we saw at at the US Open, extraordinarily good putter.

1174
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 3: So I like Wyndham Clark, I think he's, like, you know,

1175
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 3: obviously kind of forced the American's hand. Who knows if

1176
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 3: he's on here, if he finishes second in the US Open,

1177
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:48,879
Speaker 3: probably isn't on this team, but probably, Like I think

1178
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 3: he's probably this year proven to be one of the

1179
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 3: twelve best American golfers this year. So without a doubt,

1180
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 3: I I just think he's he's I think he's another guy.

1181
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 3: He's a rookie, he's got stuff to prove. He wants

1182
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 3: to probably play a lot of these and I think

1183
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:03,879
Speaker 3: he could well.

1184
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 2: I mean it's again to your point on the on

1185
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 2: the season of Clark and being a top twelve American,

1186
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 2: You're gonna hear Wyndham Clark US Open champion a million

1187
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 2: times when you watch golf over the next two or

1188
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 2: three years. You know, broadcasters always like to lean on

1189
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 2: like their highest accomplishment. I mean, he won the Wells

1190
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 2: Fargo this year too. I mean it's a it was

1191
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 2: an elevated event. Now I think it's a signature event,

1192
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 2: but it was an elevated event at the time. Like

1193
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 2: that's a big win, you know, I mean, you win

1194
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 2: that event and you win the US Open, like, that's very,

1195
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 2: very impressive to do in a full season when you

1196
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 2: have never been in that position before. So probably a

1197
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 2: little low on the list to be fair, Here we go,

1198
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 2: here it is, I'm doing it. I mean, if he's

1199
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 2: if he's justin Thomas Ryder Cup, justin Thomas, this is

1200
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 2: gonna make us look stupid that he was third to

1201
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 2: last pick. He's been third to last pick. Right for me,

1202
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 2: it is okay, yeah, this is this is my tenth pick.

1203
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 2: I mean, he he's been incredible in Ryder Cups and

1204
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:03,479
Speaker 2: team events in general, incredible. And if he can find

1205
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 2: the form like we've seen with Sergio and like we've

1206
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 2: seen with Poulter over the years, not counting whistling straights

1207
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,359
Speaker 2: with Poulter, if he can find whatever works for him

1208
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 2: in match play, we're going to talk about JT, you know,

1209
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 2: obviously deserving the pick, and all that stuff comes Sunday

1210
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 2: night and uh you know, I mean, now, now, now

1211
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 2: you got to throw speed with Fleetwood, and I get

1212
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 2: JT to maybe throw out there with Max one session

1213
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 2: or blood big one session.

1214
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: You never know.

1215
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's it's funny, like I think I've presented

1216
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 3: a lot of cases against picking JT just from like

1217
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 3: just purely like what should the Ryder Cup be? Should

1218
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 3: it be like an All NBA since there's big financial benefits, right,

1219
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 3: you know, the All NBA team in the NBA, like

1220
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 3: you get these contract bonuses, and it's similar in golf,

1221
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 3: like these guys get so like that's kind of been

1222
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 3: my premise of like don't pick JT. Right is because

1223
00:57:55,760 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 3: this is a historical moment and an honor for players, right,

1224
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 3: and he did not do what he needed to do

1225
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 3: to deserve a pick. Now, when I did this exercise,

1226
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 3: I found it's like, this is why you pick JT

1227
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 3: because of American players. I had him ahead of Max Homer,

1228
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 3: Ricky Fowler, and Brian Harmon. He was the sixteenth. He

1229
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 3: was sixteenth on my list and probably could have easily

1230
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:29,439
Speaker 3: been gotten up to like fourteen from like probably Sam

1231
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 3: Burns down, which was Sam Burns was twelfth down I

1232
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 3: had It was kind of just a I don't know,

1233
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 3: I guess this guy here type thing. So like when

1234
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 3: you think about it from that prism, JT was a

1235
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 3: no brainer. Now, I think the thing that you have

1236
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 3: to grapple with with with the Ryder Cup is like

1237
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 3: it's like Hall of Fame criteria type stuff. Totally, totally,

1238
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 3: And and Keegan who earned points like got got pulled

1239
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 3: on that, like he didn't get like if he's a

1240
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 3: Ryder Cupper ten years apart, ten plus years apart, that's

1241
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 3: like a crazy career statistic that shows longevity and excellence

1242
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 3: in the game. So this is the case for JT

1243
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 3: is that he, without a doubt, wasn't going to be

1244
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 3: the last pick.

1245
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: In this Yep.

1246
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 2: It's a great point. And I mean he was last

1247
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 2: American taken for US. But you had Americans below him

1248
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 2: on your list, huh and we have.

1249
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 3: Would you have picked him ahead of Wyndham Clark?

1250
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I had. I had Clark low on my list.

1251
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 2: Okay, just just simply because of the To me, there's

1252
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 2: unknown and then there's unknown unknown, and I just feel

1253
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 2: like with Windham, it's a lot of unknown and it'll

1254
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 2: be what you know, four months since the US opened.

1255
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 2: I mean, it'll just be interested to see what he

1256
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 2: can do. We have five picks left. We have five

1257
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 2: Europeans on the board, by.

1258
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 3: The way, that's the thing this is I you know,

1259
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about reaching to get one of my guys,

1260
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna take Hatton here. Wow, he had a

1261
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 3: great year. He was like, really really good this year.

1262
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 3: Somebody that might get under people's skin, and he might

1263
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 3: get his under The problem is he might get looking

1264
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 3: at my team. I have no clue. I might put

1265
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 3: him out with there with speed. Just see what happens.

1266
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1267
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 2: You might go ninety nine James and just not play

1268
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 2: until singles. The problem with Hatton is to me, is

1269
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 2: I think the self deprecation works in stroke play events

1270
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 2: because you're only shit talking yourself.

1271
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 3: Yes, how need to bring your teammate down.

1272
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.

1273
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 2: I think the problem is when you're acting the way

1274
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 2: Hatton acts on the golf.

1275
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: And I love Tyrol Hatton.

1276
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,479
Speaker 2: I got asked the other day in an interview, who's

1277
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 2: my favorite golfer in the world to watch. I said,

1278
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 2: Tyrol Hadden because you never know what you're gonna get,

1279
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 2: and he's a lovely guy.

1280
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 1: I've interviewed him. I love Tyrol Hadden.

1281
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 2: But as a partner on the golf course, and you

1282
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 2: played a lot of competitive golf in your years, who's

1283
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 2: the worst partner to have. It's the negative partner. It's

1284
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 2: the guy that gets down and gets down on the

1285
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 2: dumps and gets down on his own game. That partner

1286
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 2: is hard to play with because in it inevitably creeps

1287
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 2: into what you're doing right totally. So I just think

1288
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 2: he's a hard guy. I think to throw out there

1289
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 2: with someone that's real positive, you know.

1290
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 3: Well, maybe maybe we'll find a partner later in this.

1291
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 2: Man, this is uh, this is it. Here we are

1292
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 2: Hoy Guard Rose, your voice, Step and Bobby Mack. Final

1293
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 2: four on the board. So do you go veteran or

1294
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 2: do you go young player? Do you go unknown or

1295
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 2: do you go somebody that's done it in their life.

1296
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna lean and I don't love lean and veteran

1297
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 2: and Ryder cups. I think it's overrated. I'm gonna go

1298
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 2: Justin Rose here.

1299
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 3: Thank God. I'm just so happy that I got Step,

1300
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 3: I got the guy.

1301
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: You got Step. Here we go. I'm so worried you're.

1302
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 3: Gonna say, Hm, I gonna pass on Hattan and got

1303
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 3: my guy. I don't think we really need to talk

1304
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 3: about just us.

1305
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: It's fine. We'll see what he does. He might play

1306
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: with the Rory. Who knows.

1307
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 2: You know, I've done well in Ryder cups. He's done

1308
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 2: bad and Ryder cuffs who that knows.

1309
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 3: The septic tank sepstraca. He really showed me something at

1310
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 3: the UH at the Open. I thought that was just

1311
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 3: an illuminating performance. I'm ready for him to be that

1312
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 3: is the player that nobody saw coming.

1313
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 2: He's the He's he's your I mean, what is the

1314
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:21,919
Speaker 2: last one would have been?

1315
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: Who was last time?

1316
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 2: Can't Ley and Xander Destin Johnson going five and oh

1317
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 2: Thomas Scheffler Cheffler Scheffler physically physically imposing presents.

1318
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: God, you're going back to this again. Step is physically Listen. Listen.

1319
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,439
Speaker 3: We've got a physically imposing team. We've got rom We've

1320
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 3: got uh Tony, Tommy Fleetwood's caddy. We got Seth Scott

1321
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 3: real quick.

1322
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 1: You have Xander Can't lay Spieth, Fitzpatrick Manhattan on your team.

1323
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 3: He got something. We got some big guys up front.

1324
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 3: We can roll out some imposing player.

1325
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 2: Okay, if you want to throw your team at my

1326
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 2: team in like a five on five pickup game, I'd

1327
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 2: play it. If you want to do like flag football,

1328
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 2: I'd feel comfortable with my squad as well, even wrestling.

1329
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: I think my team would be Okay.

1330
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 3: You got Ricky and Harman.

1331
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I.

1332
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 2: Mean you gotta Rugby has the guys that run the ball.

1333
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 2: You know, you gotta have blockers in the front.

1334
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 3: All right, here you going next two picks left. I

1335
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 3: know you're gonna saddle it.

1336
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: I know I gotta do it. I mean, this is

1337
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 1: so unknown. I'll take away guard.

1338
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 3: All right. That leaves with the last guy on my board. Hey,

1339
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 3: can I ask you a question real quick going back

1340
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 3: to my last pick? Yeah, if I ask you, you

1341
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 3: you literally cover golf on a week tweek basis. You

1342
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 3: do three podcasts a week about topical golf and literally

1343
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 3: tournament golf. Nobody on the world I would trust more

1344
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 3: than maybe you, poor Raff like wrap a port or

1345
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 3: you know, to share somebody like that or Doug Ferguson

1346
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 3: that like literally covers the sport on a week to

1347
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 3: week basis. Can you tell me one great tournament Justin

1348
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 3: ros has had this year? He've won Pebble?

1349
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: Oh, well, there you go.

1350
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 2: I just was wondering if you could, if you could

1351
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 2: ring one big event that was in February.

1352
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know what he's been doing too. He's

1353
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 3: been having these like fluky major rounds, I feel like

1354
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 3: for a few years and it like it all the

1355
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 3: tip of the iceberg of this was pebble, where like

1356
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 3: it was like he was third place and he was

1357
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 3: negative strokes game Teita Green right, he was just like putting.

1358
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 3: It was like everybody's like, this is either gonna fall

1359
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 3: apart or maybe you'll like hit it well for once,

1360
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 3: and it fell apart. And since then it's like we've

1361
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 3: been going down underground where it's like one round he played,

1362
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, Justin Roch shot sixty five, Like how

1363
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 3: did he do that? It's oh, he made like three

1364
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:53,959
Speaker 3: hundred feet of putts, you know, and like that's where

1365
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 3: we've gotten with Justin Rose. I don't know. I thought

1366
01:04:57,400 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 3: you were gonna ask me a ho Guard question, which

1367
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 3: was I was gonna be way less prepared.

1368
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 2: For for people that aren't watching this or if this

1369
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 2: is even on YouTube. Andy was frantically googling when I

1370
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 2: started that question, and I was thinking he was going

1371
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 2: to go to the Rose page. He was obviously going

1372
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 2: to the Holy Guard page.

1373
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 3: I was. I was like, I was like, I know

1374
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 3: he's won a couple of things, but Nikolai Hoguard is

1375
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 3: I think a complete unknown.

1376
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:25,919
Speaker 1: How many how many matches does he play? Does he play? Two?

1377
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think two. I'm I'm way more worried about

1378
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 3: Justin Rose and Bobby Mack than Hoguard same.

1379
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 1: I agree with you on that.

1380
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:36,480
Speaker 2: I'm just the Rose thing is a bit of like,

1381
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 2: obviously he knows what he's he knows how to do this.

1382
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 2: If he can somehow conjure up that again, maybe he

1383
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 2: has a good week. I don't expect him to have

1384
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:46,439
Speaker 2: a good week. There's a reason he was my second

1385
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 2: to last pick. There's a reason you take kickers in

1386
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 2: the second to last round, right, I mean you gotta

1387
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 2: have somebody on your team to play that position.

1388
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 3: But you had. We had to pick without those two guys,

1389
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 3: so they would you most.

1390
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 2: Want to see on the American side play Rose and Sae, Like,

1391
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 2: who do you think would be.

1392
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 1: The most entertaining?

1393
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 3: That's a good question.

1394
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: I think mine what what? I don't think? I think?

1395
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 3: I think you to worry about about Kepka being complacent

1396
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 3: like he's not, he's not getting up for the match,

1397
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 3: and then Rose sneaks someone out like I think you

1398
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 3: got to put Ka against like rom like it just

1399
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 3: have a it was uh. I was listening to Rory

1400
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 3: on the Subpar Pod. Yeah, they the Subpar Guy's Colt

1401
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 3: and Drew Stultz were talking about how they want the

1402
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 3: Ryder Cup to be, like the captains get a pick

1403
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 3: like based off of the other ones versus the blind

1404
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 3: the blind card. Where do you fall on that? So

1405
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 3: like President's Cup style where they go one after another?

1406
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely, I mean way more fun that way.

1407
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 1: I hate that.

1408
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 3: I think the blind cards the way to go.

1409
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wait, wait, so you're saying the other way way.

1410
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 3: I like their strategy that you're trying to think about,

1411
01:06:56,680 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 3: like where where people are going to slot players and

1412
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 3: you don't know. I like that. I like everybody doing

1413
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 3: it that way.

1414
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do.

1415
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 2: We do a golf event in January every year, me

1416
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 2: and my fifteen idiot buddies, and we do the President's

1417
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 2: Cup way where you know, a team is presented and

1418
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 2: then you get to counter that team.

1419
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 3: It's kind of fun. It is better for TV that way.

1420
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 3: I think it's better for like internal strategy, trying to

1421
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 3: figure out what the other person's thinking and trying to

1422
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 3: roll out your strategy the other person trying to counter.

1423
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:27,919
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know.

1424
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 2: Andy, let me just say the only defense I'll give

1425
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 2: you on this point is this all I think about

1426
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 2: on a day to day and week to week basis

1427
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 2: is how to change things in golf. I write about

1428
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 2: it for the newsletter a lot, I text you about it,

1429
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 2: We talk about it everybody in golf. All we're ever

1430
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 2: trying to do is change things in the game. This

1431
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 2: is like the loane thing in golf that doesn't need

1432
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 2: changing is the Ryder Cup. It's perfect the way it is.

1433
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 2: We don't got to change anything. We don't need to

1434
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 2: mess with the way teams are picked, formatting, all that

1435
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 2: Stuff's like like, this event is perfect.

1436
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 1: It's perfect.

1437
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm gonna push back one big change I'd

1438
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 3: like to see in the Ryder Cup. Can we go

1439
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 3: back to the venues of yesteryear? Could we get the

1440
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 3: old course, Could we get like Hinch, Can we like

1441
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 3: can we go to like great golf courses instead of

1442
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 3: these like made for Ryder Cup places?

1443
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 1: Well?

1444
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:24,560
Speaker 2: But but but match play is the is the s

1445
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 2: portion of golf. It doesn't necessarily matter with the golf.

1446
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 3: I agree, But it's not like it's not gonna be

1447
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 3: better if it's had a great golf course.

1448
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I I obviously it's not gonna make

1449
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 1: it worse. Yeah, it's well.

1450
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:38,640
Speaker 2: I mean one of the silliest things that they do

1451
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 2: is when they change the nines. Yeah, and it's like,

1452
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:42,600
Speaker 2: I don't like this golf course to begin with, and

1453
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 2: now I don't know what hole they're playing, Like the

1454
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 2: President's Cup last year, It's like.

1455
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 1: Can we just play it the way it's played?

1456
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:51,679
Speaker 3: Well? In the course, the best word is always like, well,

1457
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 3: we don't want the eighteenth hole to be insignificant. And

1458
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:58,639
Speaker 3: whenever they re route. Whenever they do the reroute, every

1459
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:00,760
Speaker 3: match always goes to eighteen and you're like, well, I'm

1460
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 3: glad they're playing the worst sole on the golf course.

1461
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 3: It's the eighteenth. Like I'm glad this boring gas hole

1462
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 3: is the last hole instead of you know, Austin is

1463
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 3: just that eighteenth hole in Austin.

1464
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 1: God, love it.

1465
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 2: I love that golf course. But my god, I mean

1466
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 2: it's like three eighty. You're like, what is this hole

1467
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 2: for these guys?

1468
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 3: I mean, what about the rory T shot this year

1469
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 3: that was made the shot of the year.

1470
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not going to go shot at the year,

1471
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 1: but I mean it might be in the top ten.

1472
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna go.

1473
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:31,800
Speaker 3: That was like d Windham's shot at the US Open

1474
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 3: on Saturday. I'm fourteen on eighteen in the dark.

1475
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:38,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god when he hit the flag. Dude, Andy,

1476
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:40,719
Speaker 1: this is this is I think.

1477
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,639
Speaker 3: Rory wins that if Wyndham Clark's not in the final group.

1478
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 1: So it's it's unbelievable. You brought that up. It was.

1479
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 2: It was floating on Instagram yesterday, the shot into eighteen,

1480
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 2: the one that he hit off the flag stick, and

1481
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 2: it's this will be forgot in history forever that it

1482
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 2: changed the final pairing. And I was thinking the exact

1483
01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 2: same thing you just said, the exact same thing. Ricky

1484
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 2: was leading, Rory was in the final pairing, and Wendy

1485
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 2: Wyndham because of that shot, got in the final pairing.

1486
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 2: And I'm with you, I think all of that changes

1487
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:09,800
Speaker 2: if that shot doesn't happen.

1488
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was hanging around the media center. I think

1489
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:18,679
Speaker 3: Rory was talking and I saw I was watching it.

1490
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:21,519
Speaker 3: I was kind of like floating it. There's two tents

1491
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 3: that were together, one had a TV, not the one

1492
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 3: Rory was in, and I was kind of watching what

1493
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 3: was happening, and I saw I was watching the shot,

1494
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 3: and then I saw Rory's manager was watching the shot, Sean,

1495
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 3: and I saw him like when he hit the shot,

1496
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:41,760
Speaker 3: like there was like a visible like disappointment reaction of

1497
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 3: what happened, because like I know, he knew that if

1498
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:50,560
Speaker 3: Rory was in like there was that was just a

1499
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 3: monumental moment. I think, like to me, like maybe the

1500
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 3: shot of the year. No shot made a bigger impact

1501
01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 3: on a major championship.

1502
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:01,839
Speaker 1: All right, so I'm gonna go through our teams.

1503
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 3: All right, I'm glad you were taking I've mine boulded, but.

1504
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, so my team is Rory, I'm going

1517
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 2: high on my list. You didn't have as high. And

1518
