Speaker 1: Now, the Shotgun Starting Golf is full of mathematics. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of setup work that we have to do
Speaker 1: in order to make a tournament work. So I'm going
Speaker 1: to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a
Speaker 1: shotgun start here and.
Speaker 2: We all right, alright, all right, did no man darn your.
Speaker 3: Grudy to welcome to a Saturday edition of The Shotgun Start.
Speaker 3: It is April eleventh, Andy, how we doing.
Speaker 2: Brendan, I'm doing fantastic. I gotta say it is. The
Speaker 2: Master's always delivers here. We thought we might have a
Speaker 2: sleepy weekend and you know, twenty four hours later we're
Speaker 2: talking here. It's a dead heat there. There are a
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of names on the board that
Speaker 2: have a chance to get a green jacket tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a fabulous, fabulous moving day. You know, we
Speaker 3: talked about it going to be you know, everybody kind
Speaker 3: of stalled out trying to track down Rory. Rory opened
Speaker 3: some doors, for sure, opened some big doors at Amen Corner,
Speaker 3: opened the door at one. But also like those guys
Speaker 3: just went and got it. There were some sixty fives
Speaker 3: from Scotty and most notably Cameron Young, who's now tied
Speaker 3: for the lead, much to pj's delight, he came, you know,
Speaker 3: just giddily bouncing into the media center of the Press
Speaker 3: Building as they call it here from from fourteen after
Speaker 3: he had officially made his run. A fabulous Saturday with
Speaker 3: that set up, what could be just you know, even
Speaker 3: greater Sunday.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you always wonder how the setup's going to be.
Speaker 2: What type of setup, you know, rewards chasers, gives chasers
Speaker 2: a better chance, whether it's harder or a little bit
Speaker 2: you know, more gettible. I think, you know, Augusta Nationals
Speaker 2: set it up to be gettible. And the thing was
Speaker 2: Rory came out of the gates not with his best stuff.
Speaker 2: Who knows, maybe he was a little tight a little bit,
Speaker 2: you know kind of I think this is the thing
Speaker 2: we see with Rory, particularly at Augusta, just kind of
Speaker 2: you know, toggling between especially with this year history becoming
Speaker 2: this the you know, a back to back winner, and
Speaker 2: you know, he toggles between this freedom and in this
Speaker 2: you know, kind of dealing with the moment. And it's
Speaker 2: a golf course that has this very thin line and
Speaker 2: everybody went out and got it and Rory didn't get
Speaker 2: it out and get it today.
Speaker 3: Maybe as you know, a newly crowned you know, he's
Speaker 3: a Master's champion, he's a jacket jacket wearer now, maybe
Speaker 3: just asn't ambassador for the tournament, he wanted to put
Speaker 3: a little more intrigue into the into the proceedings. Took
Speaker 3: a dive there to get more people involved. No, I
Speaker 3: highly doubt that was the case. What were you more
Speaker 3: surprised by Rory's round, like really opening he shot seventy
Speaker 3: three when there was a lot of you know, sixty
Speaker 3: seven sixty five, not a lot, but there were that
Speaker 3: was out there. Were you more surprised by that? Or
Speaker 3: Cameron Young rocketing up the leaderboard to tie the lead
Speaker 3: after you may or may not have called him a
Speaker 3: house cat or did you just call him house cat
Speaker 3: behavior on seventeen sixteen.
Speaker 2: You know what, I think I mislabeled that today. I
Speaker 2: think he's he's he's not moved into the category of
Speaker 2: young lion young where you know he can get batted
Speaker 2: in the nose and you know power, But you know,
Speaker 2: he roared back today and I think the what was
Speaker 2: more surprising. I think I was really surprised with how
Speaker 2: many guys went out and just shot really great scores
Speaker 2: to rocket up the leader board. And I think Rory
Speaker 2: the writing was on the wall of hey, he's been
Speaker 2: driving it really poor. And I think with how prodigious
Speaker 2: and how exceptional he's been off the tee all of
Speaker 2: his career, you I think you just subliminately thought like, Okay,
Speaker 2: he's had two bad days off the tee.
Speaker 3: It'll come, it'll come, Yeah, And.
Speaker 2: It just seems like, you know, today was like a
Speaker 2: good example coming home. It's it's like he hits the
Speaker 2: bad drive on thirteen, he gets the really bad break
Speaker 2: with the you know, the the pole.
Speaker 3: The pole or whatever, the little.
Speaker 2: Pop, but then he has a great drive on fourteen,
Speaker 2: great drive on fifteen, and you stand on seventeen teen
Speaker 2: and you're like, okay, maybe he's going to string you know,
Speaker 2: a series of great drives together to finish, and he
Speaker 2: just it doesn't seem like he can hit those, you know,
Speaker 2: six to eight consecutive great T shots. And then you
Speaker 2: know he's watching Sam Burns Burn hit great T shots
Speaker 2: all day long. I think Sam Burn, you know, Cameron
Speaker 2: Young and Scottie I think probably two most impressive rounds
Speaker 2: today but Cam Sam Burns I thought was sensational today.
Speaker 2: It brings us to our first storyline that nobody's talking
Speaker 2: about Burns' is eyeing of promotion. It seemed like he
Speaker 2: he is, he is close to you know, he made
Speaker 2: a lot of progress today and the investigation of the
Speaker 2: racketeering investigation. He's trying to bring Macklroy down and I
Speaker 2: think I think he made a lot of progress there.
Speaker 2: But Sam Burns, Deputy Sam is looking to become the lieutenant.
Speaker 2: He was so like everybody's gonna talk about Cam Young.
Speaker 3: I think that's the most surprising route that Like he's
Speaker 3: in that big spot, the last group of the day
Speaker 3: with the defending champion that's six ahead, and he both
Speaker 3: just went straight through, just head down, like straight through.
Speaker 2: I think there were some weak putts coming down the
Speaker 2: stretch and I think that's I think he's this he's
Speaker 2: this great putter, but I think there's a tendency to
Speaker 2: not be as great of a putter when when they
Speaker 2: really matter. But you know, a couple of week putts
Speaker 2: coming down the stretch, but man, he was so good
Speaker 2: Tea to Green and I think off the te you know,
Speaker 2: he has a tendency to hit some foul balls, and
Speaker 2: he's a little one dimensional with the you know, he
Speaker 2: just hits the fade. But he was so good today.
Speaker 2: I was super impressed with him, and he was doing
Speaker 2: what Rory can't hasn't been able to do this week,
Speaker 2: which is just get the ball and.
Speaker 3: Play some stress free some at least less stress.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and then you know, today with Rory,
Speaker 2: the thing is is that when he did get the
Speaker 2: ball and play, the iron play was really bad. You know,
Speaker 2: he hit some bad iron shots.
Speaker 3: Some from you know, short wedges, like like fourteen and
Speaker 3: made a birdie, but that wasn't like a great, great
Speaker 3: weg shot for where he was, you know, thirteen after
Speaker 3: it hit the pole the wedge shot there, I mean
Speaker 3: that's a tricky shot, but I mean he rocketed that
Speaker 3: through the green. He was a little little He shot
Speaker 3: at six. He shot at six, just misses the wrong side.
Speaker 2: You think about the Part three, he missed three of
Speaker 2: the four Part three greens he missed. He missed four left,
Speaker 2: six left, twelve left, and then sixteen. He pulled it
Speaker 2: just slightly with that right pin off the target. But
Speaker 2: like I always think par threes kind of show how
Speaker 2: you're striking the ball. Yeah, and he was. He was
Speaker 2: really bad on par three today. And I think, you know, listen,
Speaker 2: it's kind of crazy. You look at this leader board.
Speaker 2: Cameron Young opens with a seventy three, goes sixty seven sixty.
Speaker 3: Five, opens in forty, goes out in forty.
Speaker 2: Goes out in forty, seventy three, sixty seven sixty five,
Speaker 2: Rory goes sixty seven, sixty five, seventy three. You know,
Speaker 2: they have an identical three rounds of scores, just in
Speaker 2: different sequential order, sets up awesome final pairing number two,
Speaker 2: number three in the world, and a just a host
Speaker 2: of chasers that are elite, world class players. I mean,
Speaker 2: I think you look at this and it's like those
Speaker 2: last three t times at last four because Scott he's
Speaker 2: in there, awesome, awesome tea times obviously, howtong Lee all
Speaker 2: over the place.
Speaker 3: He's going all white today after the toilet troubles of
Speaker 3: the prior day. It's a bold choice, how tonly.
Speaker 2: I was talking with a patron, Yeah, you imagine like
Speaker 2: the first t after what he went through on on
Speaker 2: on Thursday night into Friday morning and being like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try and walk around here.
Speaker 3: Facing people and like the most high profile spot. Yeah
Speaker 3: it's Jakey. You're getting at something interesting, Like Rory talks
Speaker 3: about how these you know, he wins tournaments in fourteen holes,
Speaker 3: like last year, right, I won that tournament in fourteen
Speaker 3: it's did his did that stretch just come at this
Speaker 3: like nice clean break of the thirty six hole mark,
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, you think, so that requires
Speaker 3: this sort of judgment that you're you're the greatest thirty
Speaker 3: six hole lead in history, and maybe you know that
Speaker 3: in prior years, or that would have just come in
Speaker 3: the middle of the third second round or the first
Speaker 3: five holes last year of his third round, right Saturday round.
Speaker 3: This just got this nice clean break right where you
Speaker 3: go to the midpoint and he's six clear, and he's
Speaker 3: the defending champ, and you know he had his bad
Speaker 3: day today, but there's not a lot to look if
Speaker 3: anyone can like below a six shot league to say
Speaker 3: and just still be the favorite, so to speak, and
Speaker 3: not have you feeling like, oh my god, there he
Speaker 3: has zero chances. It's Rory would be one of those people.
Speaker 3: I don't know that he has to feel super confident
Speaker 3: after the way you talked about he was hitting it,
Speaker 3: but you know, the six shot league's gone. I don't
Speaker 3: know that. I'm not certainly not putting him in the bin,
Speaker 3: the rubbish bin. Like he's definitely I'd say he's probably
Speaker 3: the favorite to win still, but he's one of the
Speaker 3: few people that could go out and do that and
Speaker 3: it just happened. So happened to come at this like
Speaker 3: clean break of the overnight rest in the thirty six
Speaker 3: Hold Mark.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think it goes back to it's
Speaker 2: what Harry said to him after seventy two. Hold yeesh,
Speaker 2: Sure is the same sitch here this today is Hey, Bud,
Speaker 2: we'd have taken the taken this position at on Wednesday
Speaker 2: at the start of the week or Monday at the
Speaker 2: start of the week. We would have taken being tied
Speaker 2: for the lead with the number three player in the
Speaker 2: world going into Sunday. And I think what's fascinating though,
Speaker 2: is is you start to see, like, you know, he
Speaker 2: needed to play two good rounds and it would have
Speaker 2: been nobody's gonna catch him if he plays two solid
Speaker 2: rounds of golf. In a solid round of golf today
Speaker 2: would have been a sixty nine, the way it was playing,
Speaker 2: the way the course was set up, no wins, some
Speaker 2: gettable pins. My question is like, if he shoots sixty
Speaker 2: eight tomorrow, is it is he? Does he get it done?
Speaker 3: I mean Camyon's like, you know, Vinnie Johnson, the microwave
Speaker 3: man out there, so you don't know could Camyon he's
Speaker 3: starting even with him. I don't think Cam is gonna
Speaker 3: shoot sixty five again, but I could certainly see him
Speaker 3: shooting sixty eight to match the number you talked about,
Speaker 3: and maybe sixty seven to better it.
Speaker 2: PJ.
Speaker 3: What are you writing down?
Speaker 2: PJ?
Speaker 3: You want to talk about your experience following Cameron?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: He goes you know it starts at four.
Speaker 2: Was worried the live show wasn't going to happen today
Speaker 2: because we were gonna lose our PJH. Yeah, we were
Speaker 2: waiting for you to get in campus Slam young fan?
Speaker 3: Did he get lost? Down a name and corner?
Speaker 2: There is a big contingent of Cam young fans out there.
Speaker 2: Are you the head of the Cam Young fan Club?
Speaker 4: I said to the the unnamed person I was walking
Speaker 4: with that this he got so many cheers going from
Speaker 4: eleven Green to twelve t people were like standing and
Speaker 4: I was like, Wow, this didn't used to happen.
Speaker 3: This is kind of bad for everybody.
Speaker 4: I don't I don't know. It always happening way too quickly.
Speaker 4: It was great. I was just merely writing down that
Speaker 4: you said he wouldn't shoot a sixty five again, just
Speaker 4: making it.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was saying that the I say likely
Speaker 3: he wouldn't shoot a sixty just you know, make it
Speaker 3: notes it was. It was a compliment, suggests that sixty
Speaker 3: eight might not be enough for okay, I mean he
Speaker 3: could shoot you four like the either side.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 4: It was great. I did not plan to even remotely
Speaker 4: watch Cameron Young at all today.
Speaker 2: I loved we were dividing up who everybody was gonna
Speaker 2: go with today, and and PJ just out of the blues, like,
Speaker 2: you know what I'd like to go with? Got her
Speaker 2: up and Kopka into which KVV is just like sure,
Speaker 2: sounds GOODJ have fun totally.
Speaker 3: On your time at the Ryder Cup when you followed
Speaker 3: what was that match?
Speaker 4: Griffin Hog? But that turned out to be the greatest
Speaker 4: experience of my life.
Speaker 3: Some QT with Davis Love.
Speaker 4: Yeah, me and my best friend DL three.
Speaker 3: Got her up. I guess by the way, got her up.
Speaker 3: No Below called him a burly boy on the broadcast
Speaker 3: The Burley Chris got her up. I love that now.
Speaker 3: I love that terminology from from Frank So Cameron turned
Speaker 3: it turned in the Route of the week. So far
Speaker 3: Scottie Scheffler matched him. He's out earlier though still has
Speaker 3: I am we're gonna do contender.
Speaker 2: Pretender is cams around the week, Scheffler's Round of the
Speaker 2: Week or Rory's Round of the week right now? Or
Speaker 2: is it to be determined on who wins?
Speaker 3: Depends on who wins.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'll hand up right now. Very afraid of
Speaker 4: scott Shuffler. That man is in a position to strike.
Speaker 3: Well, he's getting mudballs and gustl.
Speaker 4: Well, do we want to get to that storyline.
Speaker 2: We'll get to the storyline. Nobody's talking about it. Everybody's
Speaker 2: talking about Scotty's round, which was a complete striped.
Speaker 3: Show, incredible and I think he gained five and a
Speaker 3: half shots on approach lost marginally off the tee.
Speaker 2: But it has this department been defunded because there were
Speaker 2: still there still issues. They were to activated city council
Speaker 2: take care of. He needed to take care of.
Speaker 3: He after his round, you know, somebody asked him like,
Speaker 3: could it have been more? And he goes, that's a
Speaker 3: stupid question. Dumb question, next question. But I answered to
Speaker 3: his credit, he sort of was like, you know, I
Speaker 3: shouldn't have ragged on you that way. But then he
Speaker 3: talked about he got a mudball at thirteen. Talk to
Speaker 3: Amanda about this on the ballot.
Speaker 4: All out to say that for context.
Speaker 3: Well he said it, yeah, I know, I mean this
Speaker 3: was also a speak. You know, he had his little
Speaker 3: bottologue about that a year ago. You're not supposed to
Speaker 3: talk about it, but you get mudballs here. By the way,
Speaker 3: has it rained here all week?
Speaker 2: I think it's rained twice in the last month.
Speaker 3: Incredibly dry, Yeah, whole like first quarter for Georgia. That
Speaker 3: is the wetter part of the course. You know, it's
Speaker 3: it's sort of you know, shaded, and it's all the
Speaker 3: way down at the hill. He got gusted on fifteen
Speaker 3: fifteen got gusted on, which would.
Speaker 2: Down wind gust down gus.
Speaker 3: I mean, there was there was no wind out there today.
Speaker 4: Really not not not much.
Speaker 2: There was my conversation with Beg, you know, which I
Speaker 2: guess they Beg didn't do John Houston proud.
Speaker 3: That's okay, Houston. We don't have a problem anymore.
Speaker 2: Houston, we don't have a problem.
Speaker 4: No updated graphic for that one, by the way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Beg was talking actually how he thinks it's
Speaker 2: tougher when there's variable winds, light variable winds, because then
Speaker 2: you don't really know what's going on up there and
Speaker 2: the margins so tight versus like when it's going fifteen,
Speaker 2: like you know what's happening when it's like ever present
Speaker 2: at a at a similar pace.
Speaker 3: But what I hear is he's back in the blue.
Speaker 4: He's try.
Speaker 2: T Scott, Scott. He might have gotten gusted. I'm just
Speaker 2: trying to add some color that that there might be
Speaker 2: sub credence to what he's saying where he just like,
Speaker 2: you don't know what's up there, and then it hits
Speaker 2: it when it gets above a bit.
Speaker 3: I understand, I understand, all right.
Speaker 2: You know it could have been that he just was
Speaker 2: playing playing safe and hit a shot a little too far.
Speaker 4: How dare you that's fair?
Speaker 2: Because he hid in the water yesterday. Well he hit
Speaker 2: along yesterday, so he also.
Speaker 3: Got that that like kick that kick. Yeah, it wasn't
Speaker 3: like he scented miles long. He got the kick that
Speaker 3: he you know, doesn't always happen.
Speaker 2: Is Scotty? Is Scotty the most terrifying man on the board?
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, all right.
Speaker 2: I mean he basically just has to do can't lay
Speaker 2: a can't lay? Which what does that mean? House cat?
Speaker 2: House cat watch Patrick. Can't Lay is on his way
Speaker 2: to the most fraudulent top five and master's history.
Speaker 3: The storyline right Wikipedia yellow is for can't lay. He
Speaker 3: goes seventy seven, sixty seven, sixty six. Guy hasn't done anything,
Speaker 3: you know. He last time he won was twenty two,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: I think him and but he just brothers brothers an
Speaker 2: arm four years and four years since the last went.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh so, I feel like Can't Lay is like the
Speaker 2: king of the fraudulent top five here, he's.
Speaker 3: Got the one in nineteen.
Speaker 4: I think he's just king of the fraudulent the top
Speaker 4: five anywhere.
Speaker 3: I think he's only got like two top tens here
Speaker 3: at a gust So one was twenty nineteen and the other.
Speaker 2: Was he was in the mix a couple of years.
Speaker 3: He's only got one top ten here it was a
Speaker 3: teen nine and twenty nineteen. That's it.
Speaker 4: Are you thinking of Pinehurst where he walked outside for
Speaker 4: the first time?
Speaker 3: He legit he had the chance there, So he's going
Speaker 3: for a yellow. He's going to have a yellow. Scotty
Speaker 3: is probably the most terrifying person on the board. If
Speaker 3: you're we're gonna do.
Speaker 2: If you're if you're not young In McElroy, Well.
Speaker 3: Let's just do contender pretender right now?
Speaker 2: Oh man, you want to contender pretender?
Speaker 4: Right? Go nuts?
Speaker 3: Should we do it? I mean, is Scotty Shuffler a contender?
Speaker 3: Let's go there, all right? Scotti Scheffler is currently seven under.
Speaker 3: He's four shots behind Cameron Young Roy McElroy, ahead of Burns,
Speaker 3: Lowry Day Rose.
Speaker 2: And that's it. I am. I'd be terrified about Scotty Shuffler.
Speaker 2: He shot seventy the first round, very hard conditions, hardest conditions.
Speaker 2: It didn't really make anything in that round. Yeah, he
Speaker 2: called a shot yesterday, he said, a good one, a
Speaker 2: good one, a good round, a really good rounds coming.
Speaker 2: And then he goes out and shoots his sixty five.
Speaker 2: It is totally conceivable, you know, say he shoots sixty
Speaker 2: six tomorrow, which is totally in the cards. Six hunder.
Speaker 2: He gets to thirteen thirteen, can win this turn.
Speaker 3: Totally in the cards. I mean he didn't, you know,
Speaker 3: I want to talk about thirteen fifteen a little bit,
Speaker 3: Like didn't Burty either of those. But those holes are
Speaker 3: different beasts this week. It's kind of amazing. Yeah, they're
Speaker 3: they're they're getting them this week. I mean, Adam Scott
Speaker 3: spoke about it a little bit. He said, you know,
Speaker 3: it's really tricky, like he said thirteen, you know that
Speaker 3: the plates or the markers have been back a little
Speaker 3: bit into the wind. They don't always do that. Scotty
Speaker 3: said something similar fifteen. Uh, He's like, you know, there's
Speaker 3: literally no par five like it right and it's so
Speaker 3: firm right now. And because it's so firm, the layup
Speaker 3: shot even that kind of messes with you. It's absolute
Speaker 3: gozone is what he called. Fifteen is the go zone.
Speaker 3: But it scares the shit out of you because he
Speaker 3: didn't say that in those terms because it is so
Speaker 3: firm right now. But the third shot for both hold on.
Speaker 2: I just want to I think a bunch of people
Speaker 2: that aren't at the golf course are saying that it's
Speaker 2: not firm.
Speaker 3: Fifteen has been in the go zone. But the green
Speaker 3: is firm, so it's just stress. But you don't want
Speaker 3: to lay up because you've got a wedge in there
Speaker 3: with a hard green. So we've heard firm and hard green.
Speaker 3: It's just a hard hole.
Speaker 2: But it's Scott knows what a firm golf course.
Speaker 3: No, we mentioned yes, so it's just a hard holes.
Speaker 2: Play masters a fair amount.
Speaker 3: Yes, he's been here. It's just interesting to hear hole
Speaker 3: described as in the go zone. But I also use
Speaker 3: the word stress and really hard, he said, the weather
Speaker 3: because it's so firm. The fans love it, the players
Speaker 3: hate it. But the three nines on Thursday on that hole,
Speaker 3: I don't know any par five like it.
Speaker 2: It's great.
Speaker 3: So and he said the same about thirteen. It's trickier
Speaker 3: for sure this year. You're standing back on the big
Speaker 3: side slope. This is the approach of the second shot
Speaker 3: and your way, and you're waiting up like you're laying up.
Speaker 3: I'm sure that's a TYPEO. Like a lot of holes here,
Speaker 3: it's a huge risk, big reward, huge risk. There are
Speaker 3: a lot of them, but you're just so farther back
Speaker 3: on that side slope. Now that it's a massive decision
Speaker 3: off the tee. Scotti had a similar similar you know,
Speaker 3: someone was asking about the tea doesn't feel different? He said,
Speaker 3: they want to give guys an opportunity to go for
Speaker 3: that green. They said, it was not typical that the
Speaker 3: Barkers would be so far back down into the wind.
Speaker 3: There's only a handful of guys in the field that
Speaker 3: can actually get around that corner and order to get
Speaker 3: the ball in the green. And two they asked them, like,
Speaker 3: has the tea moved at all to the left, which
Speaker 3: would be a new one for us. He goes, I
Speaker 3: don't know that they moved at the left or lean
Speaker 3: the trees in could be one or the other. Do
Speaker 3: you know the answer to the question, No, he doesn't know.
Speaker 3: It starts laughing. So there's definitely thirteen and fifteen are
Speaker 3: just not this like, oh, we're gonna mark that one
Speaker 3: up like it's a do we actually talk to someone today?
Speaker 3: Like do you feel like there's sort of this mythical
Speaker 3: the board is sort of lying, like the cameon is
Speaker 3: sort of lying to you because because Rory still hasn't
Speaker 3: gone to thirteen or fifteen or the guys behind him,
Speaker 3: I think that's sort of been mitigated or whittled down
Speaker 3: this year thirteen and fifteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they, I mean, they certainly aren't gimmes anymore. The
Speaker 2: back tee on thirteen has restored some of that, you know,
Speaker 2: momentous decision. You know, it's funny. I actually ran into
Speaker 2: I was just sitting in the UH in one of
Speaker 2: the patron galleries in a chair on six a couple
Speaker 2: of days ago, and I said, and the guy next
Speaker 2: to me saw me taking notes, and you know, we
Speaker 2: started talking. And he's from Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Speaker 4: Do you know.
Speaker 2: What what Master's a figure of Master's lore is from Fayetteville,
Speaker 2: North Carolina town.
Speaker 3: I've been through Fayetteville many times, but I don't know
Speaker 3: what Master's character is from Fayetteville.
Speaker 2: Chip Back, oh, Chipper, and I talked about this guy
Speaker 2: was I think he was friends with chip Back? Like
Speaker 2: he did, you know, because we started talking about chip
Speaker 2: Back and he goes, you know, I've talked to Chip
Speaker 2: about about laying up on fifteen. He had this you know,
Speaker 2: he laid up when when Bernie Longer won from two
Speaker 2: thirty six and he was a shorter hitter and he
Speaker 2: had three wood in and he laid up. But so
Speaker 2: he said, you know, Chip got killed for it. It
Speaker 2: really hurt him. But Chips told me he didn't have
Speaker 2: that shot. He was standing over and he didn't have
Speaker 2: the shot, but wasn't.
Speaker 3: The point was like he was down a good chunk
Speaker 3: because there's four holes left. I mean there's only four holes.
Speaker 2: He said, I didn't have the shot. And I think,
Speaker 2: like what you're seeing this is it's putting people in
Speaker 2: a pretzel. It's not to Chip backs level. All these
Speaker 2: guys have the shot from two thirty six. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: and on thirteen. More importantly, you're seeing guys have a
Speaker 2: lot harder shot than they have grown accustomed to into
Speaker 2: that green because of A the win and B it's
Speaker 2: just the how severe it is when you're further back.
Speaker 2: You know where they were pushing the ball up to
Speaker 2: was flat. And this can we can bring this to
Speaker 2: another storyline is talking about just to add to a
Speaker 2: bow on it.
Speaker 3: The two guys who shot sixty five's today played those
Speaker 3: two holes in even park combined just to put a
Speaker 3: bow on it. So like sixty five out going crazy.
Speaker 2: Two guys that shot sixty five played those two par
Speaker 2: five's won over because Cam Young Bogie. But so anyways,
Speaker 2: it brings us to a storyline our colleague get Frida
Speaker 2: golf Will Knights. Is he the new is he the
Speaker 2: new rival for Phil?
Speaker 3: So good Will has just mixed it up and Phil's
Speaker 3: mentions before and Phil gets a gift.
Speaker 4: This is I actually would like to rephrase the statement
Speaker 4: you just made. Phil is mixing it up in Wills.
Speaker 3: What was the first one when he finished forever about
Speaker 3: Scotty will win again or something?
Speaker 4: Was the one who got the Scotty won't win again
Speaker 4: until the Ryder Cup discourse cooked up?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he kind of let him down that alley way,
Speaker 3: did he? And Phil responded that was his response.
Speaker 4: Philip Phillien's was like, oh, we'll see how the rider
Speaker 4: cups goes.
Speaker 3: So what happened with this one? So so, uh you
Speaker 3: said no putts?
Speaker 2: Well yeah, Bill said there were no eagle putts, like
Speaker 2: you know, tweeted about the role. It was an anti
Speaker 2: rollback take, and then Will corrected him that there were
Speaker 2: six eagle putts Woodland. He listened off all the names
Speaker 2: of people who had eagle putts, and then Phil goes back,
Speaker 2: My point still stands there's only six. So Will Will
Speaker 2: and Phil getting getting after it, he might be the
Speaker 2: new Tiger.
Speaker 3: I love that, love that mixing it up with Phil,
Speaker 3: Phil who seems to just think his first tweet like
Speaker 3: is it there in the thread? He said, yeah, right,
Speaker 3: So I said a few. That's another good one. So
Speaker 3: thirteen and fifteen playing trap more challenge, Scotty is a contender.
Speaker 3: Unequivocally a contender?
Speaker 2: Is how tong Lee a contender?
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 3: I have some real questions after watching that shot into fifteen?
Speaker 3: They asked him, like what happened? Because yeah, just some
Speaker 3: negative thoughts between my backs. Somehow something clicked. I don't know, Yeah,
Speaker 3: very disappointed. Do you think like like barely got off
Speaker 3: the ground right in and dribbler into the pond?
Speaker 2: Legitimate question? How tongue Lee was flying high? Do you
Speaker 2: think he ran out of gas? Like legitimately he had
Speaker 2: a one percent whoop recovery score? Yeah that on Friday night,
Speaker 2: Like I always feel like you get hit by like
Speaker 2: you know if I have one percent recovery score from
Speaker 2: a hangover, yeah, I'm usually getting hit The day after
Speaker 2: is when I'm like, oh god, this is like I
Speaker 2: can't believe this has getting me again today. Do you
Speaker 2: think that he he ran out of gas figurative and
Speaker 2: literally literally today or the moment got to him.
Speaker 3: I I'll say he ran out of gas because the
Speaker 3: guy doesn't. The guy seems so oblivious to the moment.
Speaker 3: There was something apparently like I think he played with Girard,
Speaker 3: this might be from Joseph, and like he just hadn't played,
Speaker 3: he knew he was in it for the first time
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen, hadn't played, hadn't come here at all, like, oh,
Speaker 3: first time, and people like wait, what, I think his
Speaker 3: first round was Tuesday? Like, didn't didn't play a single
Speaker 3: hole here, Like I just don't think he's just a goofball.
Speaker 2: Is he's the best golf Remember at the President's Cup
Speaker 2: at Royal Melbourn where they had to bench They had
Speaker 2: to bench him because he was not listening to the
Speaker 2: supposed to strategy advice.
Speaker 3: Are we really trying to win this coach Ernie, Like
Speaker 3: he was just sort of there to play.
Speaker 2: Like whatever, under no circumstance hit driver on the first hole.
Speaker 2: It's how tough he gets in the lineup and hits driver.
Speaker 3: He seems just oblivia. So I don't think the moment
Speaker 3: got to him. I just think he ran out of gas.
Speaker 3: Negative thoughts in the backswing not a good place to
Speaker 3: have negative thoughts. Contender or pretender?
Speaker 2: Though for how well and astute twitter follower pointed out,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to find find who it was here. He
Speaker 2: it was the burns Burner who must have been celebrating today,
Speaker 2: the Sam burns Burner, Scotty and how Tongue prematch of
Speaker 2: the final pairing at Port Rush. Will how Tong get
Speaker 2: his revenge? This is this was a late submission for
Speaker 2: storyline nobody's talking about. Do you think how Tong gets
Speaker 2: his revenge? Is he a pretender? A contender or pretender?
Speaker 3: I mean versus are we giving this head to head
Speaker 3: against Scotty. I'm gonna take Scotty Shuffler. If that's like
Speaker 3: the question, I'm gonna go pretender. I don't see Rory
Speaker 3: slipping the green jacket on how Tom Lee tomorrow night.
Speaker 3: I just don't see it.
Speaker 2: I think he's a pretender, pretender, Scotty. The shot of
Speaker 2: the shot on fifteen, among a few other shots coming
Speaker 2: down the stretch, foiled mister Lee's chances.
Speaker 3: But you know what, full credit to the guy who's
Speaker 3: just was glued to the toilet for you know, this
Speaker 3: entire Thursday night, and you know he's still in one
Speaker 3: of the final groups. He's gone seventy one sixty nine
Speaker 3: six credit to the.
Speaker 2: Guys battling, battling without there being one. Are you more
Speaker 2: impressed with how tong at T seven or more calm?
Speaker 3: More a coward? Come on, morikwa. It's like he just
Speaker 3: doesn't have his legs and trying to figure it out
Speaker 3: with the back that he doesn't know what what he has?
Speaker 3: Incredible sixty eight.
Speaker 2: Or Brian Campbell hitting a seventy at T twenty one,
Speaker 2: third third entrance.
Speaker 4: There, Brian, Brian camp was legitimately incredible.
Speaker 3: All right, So how to on?
Speaker 2: I think somebody should go track Campbell tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3: We're suggesting Cameron y PJ will put you you can't
Speaker 3: follow Cameron, sorry, you have to do Campbell duty. You
Speaker 3: can't do it.
Speaker 4: Follow Cameron today and it worked.
Speaker 3: He peeled off. Yeah, I mean that was the thing
Speaker 3: we started the day. We're like, you know, who do
Speaker 3: we follow himongst These guys just playing for second kind
Speaker 3: of thing, and here we are to borrow with just
Speaker 3: a multitude of options. Cameronyon and Roy McRoy are both contenders.
Speaker 3: I don't think we will do picks to win. Maybe
Speaker 3: at the end of this seam burns after what we
Speaker 3: saw today, he's one shot.
Speaker 2: Skipped over so many guys. We're going to go through.
Speaker 4: Remove Okay, I thought we were going top down.
Speaker 2: Well we started at the bottom.
Speaker 3: Well we're bouncing around. There's no playing here. This is
Speaker 3: a shot gun start. Would you want to go bottom?
Speaker 4: To the fans I had, I had a fan stop
Speaker 4: me today said he loved the pt I soundbar and
Speaker 4: wish you followed directions more.
Speaker 3: I can't. I mean, I don't have the.
Speaker 4: We we agree on what we're putting on it, and
Speaker 4: then we just you know.
Speaker 2: There's talking here man, and we don't know where the
Speaker 2: what the agenda is? You build the agenda you never saw.
Speaker 4: I asked what the agenda is, and then and then
Speaker 4: we put it.
Speaker 3: You know what, we'll tell you, We'll just read it.
Speaker 2: Just strip just go down the strips. I'm just telling
Speaker 2: you people like that, you're seven and just bounced around.
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll just start writing.
Speaker 2: Hey, PJ, you know scoring, you know what you can
Speaker 2: you can do next time? Why don't you mounted TV
Speaker 2: up over there and we can go, so we can.
Speaker 4: I actually am working on a program on it there
Speaker 4: for next year. It's actually in work.
Speaker 3: All you want to go bottom up or top done?
Speaker 3: What do you want to do?
Speaker 2: Well, let's go bottom up? I like all right approach
Speaker 2: from going all right?
Speaker 3: Can't they We're just now yellow? No?
Speaker 4: No, no?
Speaker 2: What about what about p at six?
Speaker 4: Pete?
Speaker 2: Honestly was p or Rory more disappointing today?
Speaker 4: Pee?
Speaker 3: A fair question?
Speaker 2: I would take pe Peace got out of the gates
Speaker 2: with three birdies. I mean, you know what, we already
Speaker 2: brought this up with how tong being worn out, running
Speaker 2: out of gas. Here's a storyline nobody's talking about. P
Speaker 2: Reid was doing a sponsor obligation on Friday night of
Speaker 2: the Masters. This is out late. Uh you know, Chad Mom,
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know what his title is anymore
Speaker 2: at pro Shop. I know he's the co host of
Speaker 2: the Vanity Index. Is doing a sit down interview with
Speaker 2: p Reid at the Vistaget House on Friday night. The
Speaker 2: guy is in the second to last group of you know,
Speaker 2: I know the guy didn't have a hat sponsor, but
Speaker 2: this is something I would say, you know what this
Speaker 2: doesn't happen. This doesn't happen on Friday night.
Speaker 3: With the Masters.
Speaker 2: You could do this on Tuesday night, on Wednesday night,
Speaker 2: but it can't happen on Friday night of the Masters.
Speaker 3: Time.
Speaker 4: Well, it didn't work out.
Speaker 2: Looks like he ran out of gas here he'sriving.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I would say Rory's seventy three is probably more disappointed.
Speaker 4: I just don't.
Speaker 3: I don't agree there nobody was shooting. Look at nobody
Speaker 3: was shooting over part of that.
Speaker 2: Do you think Rory should o seventy three for us
Speaker 2: content makers?
Speaker 3: Maybe just get us in the grips of A. Maybe
Speaker 3: we needed another documentary or more films, more content for
Speaker 3: A that's.
Speaker 2: A historyline nobody's talking about. Did he do this for his.
Speaker 4: Fire thor needs part too?
Speaker 2: Fire is desperate for cop I think like I think
Speaker 2: Roy's round is more shocking.
Speaker 3: They're just whatever word you want to play it. But yeah, pee,
Speaker 3: super disappointing.
Speaker 4: Of all the people to escort themselves to the periphery.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's out. I'd still say contender issue.
Speaker 4: What is p is first on the list of people
Speaker 4: I would I think would never do that. I can't imagine.
Speaker 4: I cannot imagine P playing himself.
Speaker 3: So you're saying a seventy seventy three from Tommy Fleet?
Speaker 3: What was more expected for you.
Speaker 4: That I would call a lockhammer fire?
Speaker 2: Pee Reid was just a seventy Can I just point
Speaker 2: out why P can't be a contender, Why.
Speaker 4: He's got to jump nine guys?
Speaker 2: If he shoots sixty three, he gets to thirteen. Yeah,
Speaker 2: which we are saying is possible. He's isn't the lowest
Speaker 2: file round in the Master's sixty four?
Speaker 3: I think it's sixty The course record is sixty three,
Speaker 3: and it hasn't been done since Norman the opening round
Speaker 3: in ninety six. Yeah, not going to.
Speaker 2: Do that probably. I just sixty four. I don't think
Speaker 2: twelve gets it done. I think the highest possible score
Speaker 2: that gets it done is thirteen. I think realistically, if
Speaker 2: you're a content, if you're in the mix, you gotta
Speaker 2: be thinking, can I get to fourteen or fifteen?
Speaker 4: I think that's fair. Even more than I just cannot
Speaker 4: believe he played himself.
Speaker 2: Out I shot, especially how he started Bertie's the first
Speaker 2: three holes.
Speaker 3: Well it went from Roy's up six to Roy's up
Speaker 3: two thanks to p I mean he Roy gave one
Speaker 3: away at one, but it was like six to two
Speaker 3: real fast because Patrick gree went the deputy got himself
Speaker 3: in racing.
Speaker 2: Out of the gates.
Speaker 3: All right, So we're going pretender for Patrick se upgrade
Speaker 3: him to lieutenant.
Speaker 4: We got it, we got it. We gotta hold the
Speaker 4: line for tomorrow. And I am a deputy fan here.
Speaker 4: We gotta hold the linett.
Speaker 2: I think Scott he's carrying the lieutenant bar that he
Speaker 2: gets in his pocket for after after the round.
Speaker 4: Got him on the shoulder. Put that on real quick.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 2: I like that a lot up piece of piece of pretender.
Speaker 2: I'm not taking anybody at six. Uh seriously, that's at all.
Speaker 3: I think that's fair. Can't they read? And can't they read?
Speaker 3: And Henley are the six?
Speaker 4: Is?
Speaker 3: How to on pretender? Scotty contender Rose. Let's go to
Speaker 3: the eights. Rose and Jay Day both at eight under
Speaker 3: three back from the lead. Right now, Rory and cam
Speaker 3: Rose and Day contender pretender at eight under.
Speaker 2: These are two lions. I was I was scoffed at
Speaker 2: on Thursday when I put when I put, Jason, you
Speaker 2: know what we've learned? Are you kidds more.
Speaker 3: Of Aliant than like, honestly, I know Justin Rose.
Speaker 4: Like one, He's not more of a lion than Justin Roses.
Speaker 3: He's played better golf. He's peaked way higher than just
Speaker 3: than Rose has both of them in the world.
Speaker 2: You know what, you and Joseph need to go watch
Speaker 2: some Jason Day highlights because the Jason Day slander this
Speaker 2: week has been off the charts.
Speaker 4: It's that slander.
Speaker 3: You know who finished runner up in the two eleven
Speaker 3: Masters when Rory was yanking into the Cabins. We talked
Speaker 3: about Rory's outcome there j Day first ever and that
Speaker 3: was like he's just been a top five machine at
Speaker 3: the Masters.
Speaker 2: That that was.
Speaker 3: That was fifteen years ago.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 2: I think, like, realistically, for you, peag, if Cameron Young's
Speaker 2: career is as good as Jason Days, you'll be the
Speaker 2: happiest man.
Speaker 4: In the world. Does he have to win a PGA.
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm telling you he was. He was the first, Like,
Speaker 3: he's the first guy who approximated Tiger Wood's golf.
Speaker 2: Was it for seven months? That was the thing, dude,
Speaker 2: that was the thing.
Speaker 3: It wasn't for like seven years, but this was like
Speaker 3: a dominant stretch of like Tiger Wood's golf for seven
Speaker 3: months and now he's still doing it as a lion.
Speaker 4: I just I think I think Justin Rose is way
Speaker 4: more my life.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: I've Justin Rose has been way more relevant in the
Speaker 2: last I don't discount that. I don't discount that. But
Speaker 2: Jason Day was absolutely the better player at the peak
Speaker 2: of his powers than Justin Rose.
Speaker 4: So we're not giving anything for like the last five years.
Speaker 2: All right. So here's what I'm gonna say, Peach, I'm
Speaker 2: saying that Justin Rose is a pretender. Wow, all right,
Speaker 2: I have this written down. This is what I've written
Speaker 2: down here.
Speaker 4: I mean, a.
Speaker 2: Just wonder. Justin Rose has has mortified people, I believe.
Speaker 2: You know, while we're another man on this on this leaderboard,
Speaker 2: you know had to go toe to toe with Justin Rose.
Speaker 2: He said, and Justin Rose started doing Justin Rose things.
Speaker 2: Which that's what what Cameron Young said at the Ryder Cup.
Speaker 2: He just started doing Justin Rose things. What Justin Rose
Speaker 2: things are is that he just hoops putts from all
Speaker 2: over the place. This is where the Justin Rose like,
Speaker 2: the shockingness of how good he's been centers around him
Speaker 2: making putt. And what is what generally happens as players
Speaker 2: age is they lose that lose their nerve to make putts. Ye,
Speaker 2: last year Saturday costs Justin rose green jacket because he
Speaker 2: made no putts the last two days. He has left
Speaker 2: a lot of shots out there with the putter, and I.
Speaker 3: You're gonna call him a pretender because of it.
Speaker 4: I just.
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think it's gonna get hot
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna I'm gonna call him pretender. I just
Speaker 2: I just don't think I can see how frustrated he is.
Speaker 2: To me, you get frustrated when you're just not hitting
Speaker 2: good putts and you know you're not hitting good putts.
Speaker 2: You don't get frustrated when you're hitting good putts and
Speaker 2: they aren't going in. You get frustrated when you're when
Speaker 2: you know you're not hitting good putts. And I just
Speaker 2: my question and my my thought, and this is, you know,
Speaker 2: this is going out on a ledge here, But I
Speaker 2: think he I think that nerve is slipping and he
Speaker 2: and five time has caught him and he probably knows
Speaker 2: that he should be at ten or eleven under pretty easily.
Speaker 4: Does Rosie still get a yellow square.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's gonna get a yellow square. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's that's I'm just saying. I don't think he's gonna win,
Speaker 2: and I think Jason Day has a better shot of winning.
Speaker 3: I agree with you on that. I think Day has
Speaker 3: a better shot of winning. It's really hard for me
Speaker 3: to just because I mean, we just watched him put
Speaker 3: like horribly last year and was in the playoff. I mean, well,
Speaker 3: he put it insanely well of the final, you know,
Speaker 3: three hours last year, ten birdies lest Why can't that
Speaker 3: happen again?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: These guys at eight need to get jute sixty seven minimum,
Speaker 3: probably sixty six to get the fourteen under. They are
Speaker 3: both lions. I gotta still say he's a contender, justin Rose, Okay,
Speaker 3: Jason Day, they're both contenders. I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna
Speaker 3: slot him right there.
Speaker 2: Listen. It wouldn't be interesting if we just set them
Speaker 2: they were all.
Speaker 3: I know. I just can't believe. I can't believe the
Speaker 3: j DA slander from the JDA doubt.
Speaker 4: I watched a lot of good Jason Day. I think,
Speaker 4: much like Ruryan cam on Late Friday. I think Jason
Speaker 4: Day starting to turn it on around Amen Corner was
Speaker 4: was great. It was a great vibes group going in there.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be a good vibe, you know.
Speaker 3: It was the good vibe group today we were on
Speaker 3: our ride, end of the course in our Mercedes were
Speaker 3: then good. That was incredible vibes. We slept in, got
Speaker 3: a good shower, gotta I got a shave. It was
Speaker 3: just great. Gotta work out. You went for a little jog,
Speaker 3: caught a work It was fabulous.
Speaker 4: You know what.
Speaker 2: I was trying to find us trying to find the
Speaker 2: original Bixby house.
Speaker 3: While I was running, you were saying that that's great.
Speaker 3: Did you find it?

Speaker 3: around or go for a jog. But if you want

Speaker 3: their support. So thanks to them all right, working our
Speaker 3: way up the board, I think this will be the
Speaker 3: easiest decision we have in this whole exercise Contender Pretender
Speaker 3: Shane O Shane Lowry.
Speaker 2: As the whole one.
Speaker 3: I was right there. I walked up to six as
Speaker 3: it rolled in. It's cool, cool scene.
Speaker 2: Can we just talk about how preposterous it is that
Speaker 2: this guy has.
Speaker 3: So many whole is seventeen Sawgrass I think is one
Speaker 3: twelve augusta, No, not twelve. Nobody's done twelve since.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, nobody's done twenty sixteen. Sixteen augusta. Uh seven
Speaker 2: pebble seven pebble god six augusta.
Speaker 4: Now he's just and.
Speaker 3: He always does the like the two fisted yes.
Speaker 4: Always got it down.
Speaker 3: I mean he's makes so many, he's got a trademark
Speaker 3: cole in one celebration. It's kind of incredible. Contender pretender that.
Speaker 2: I mean legitimately, they all happened in huge tournaments.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the biggest tournaments. Six is not I mean that's
Speaker 3: that's a tough pit.
Speaker 4: That was a tough pin all the way.
Speaker 3: I mean that whole everyone down there.
Speaker 2: Crazy was so dirty.
Speaker 3: I mean he had he was reminded me of like
Speaker 3: I was watching Ali again for a lot of times
Speaker 3: this morning or early in the round.
Speaker 4: It all comes back to, of course all that.
Speaker 3: God he walked right by me and is at the
Speaker 3: day just striking striking.
Speaker 2: You know you're speaking of Mercede Bench. We had a
Speaker 2: great chat with me pretty longer we did. It's like
Speaker 2: an anniversary, like the same time, same place, the exact
Speaker 2: same place, the exact same time, on the exact same day,
Speaker 2: two years in a row. We've We've had a nice
Speaker 2: little chat with Bernie. But you know what you said.
Speaker 4: Last year he wasn't prepping for a major Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Bernie sounds like he wishes you could get out there
Speaker 3: and show the show the young lads work, give them
Speaker 3: that work.
Speaker 2: Definitely, definitely a big case of fomo for Bernie. He
Speaker 2: wanted to go up back. I think he probably watched
Speaker 2: what Ali did to Potty day one and was like,
Speaker 2: I did that to no A Kent last year, and
Speaker 2: I could still do that to one of these young guns.
Speaker 4: If I'm Stephen Alker right now, I'm shaking in my
Speaker 4: boots about next week Bernie's a man on a mission.
Speaker 2: Do you think Bernie gets to practice here?
Speaker 3: I think he probably is. Yeah, oh yeah, those guys
Speaker 3: hanging around. I remember what but I won the lottery
Speaker 3: round like, and I was there on Monday. I came
Speaker 3: in the Monday to play. There was Ali was still there,
Speaker 3: like messing around of the tournament practice.
Speaker 4: Ali was grinding a congressional last year after by like
Speaker 4: a billion.
Speaker 3: So I think they could still use it.
Speaker 2: Bertie h Bertie said along like he said, you know,
Speaker 2: I kind of it's been hard. I want to be
Speaker 2: out there playing. And I said, I said, you should
Speaker 2: have been, you should? He goes, you got to no
Speaker 2: one to call it. He's like, is then I started
Speaker 2: thinking about hitting Fair, who was into Uphill Greens, and
Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of like he's got like the
Speaker 2: Alonzo Morning Gifts going on where he's just like yeah,
Speaker 2: and then he's like, but.
Speaker 3: Enough about Shane Lowry contender or pretender.
Speaker 2: I can't unsee the Honda thing. It's made worse that
Speaker 2: I picked him. Picked him that week sure, like I
Speaker 2: was counting my chickens. I was like, oh I want
Speaker 2: I picked a winner. I don't think I can. I
Speaker 2: don't think I'm getting.
Speaker 3: There sixty eight with an eight.
Speaker 2: Remember when he through the temper tantrum last year.
Speaker 4: I was going to say, I like, how you are
Speaker 4: still hung up on the Honda.
Speaker 3: From last year? I think Masters, where did you shoot
Speaker 3: like eighty on Sunday too? Yeah, yeah, I'm going pretender.
Speaker 2: I wish we had the audio he wants to win
Speaker 2: the Masters to man because he just he was like,
Speaker 2: stop asking me about about Roy.
Speaker 4: I want to win the Masters to mate.
Speaker 3: Mate, not a mate.
Speaker 2: We're all putting them in the contenderd.
Speaker 3: That is that. We're just sorry. That's where we're putting him.
Speaker 3: Sam Burns, Deputy Sam. We're trying to get his stripes
Speaker 3: up to lieutenant ten under one back contender, pretender. I
Speaker 3: think after what we watched today, it's hard for me
Speaker 3: to think he's going to win the Masters.
Speaker 4: It's not going to rain.
Speaker 3: He's certainly been one of the best players this.
Speaker 2: Week standing standing water.
Speaker 3: He did it a you got to drop in the
Speaker 3: fairway at eight today. I watched him and.
Speaker 2: Took a long time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was that. Travis Kelcey was right there.
Speaker 2: Just a storyline nobody's talking about. Yeah, how these PGA
Speaker 2: tour players can't take a drop without official Legitimately, I'm
Speaker 2: just like, where are we going, sprinkler head? Do you
Speaker 2: play professional golf? And you know their case would be,
Speaker 2: we play for so much money, I don't want to
Speaker 2: make mistakes.
Speaker 3: I think there's scared ship lists that they're in the
Speaker 3: Masters and just want the second set of eyes there.
Speaker 3: I mean, still, come on, you were so mad when.
Speaker 4: Brooks took an awful long time He hit his drive
Speaker 4: behind the scoreboard left of three and it was like
Speaker 4: very obviously behind the scoreboard, and it still took way
Speaker 4: too long to set up the drop.
Speaker 2: Do you know what this would be like? This would
Speaker 2: be like if you were a professional driver and he
Speaker 2: had to have somebody come in and help you turn
Speaker 2: the ignition on. It's a freaking sprinkler head.
Speaker 4: Hey, can you guess me up real quick?
Speaker 3: That said, I just who in the field wouldn't ask
Speaker 3: for an official? I think you have to the car path.
Speaker 2: I feel like you should be able to do this without.
Speaker 3: OLLI wouldn't ask for an official.
Speaker 2: A little story time, Oh god, this is I played
Speaker 2: the US years ago and I was in the last
Speaker 2: tea time of the day and they have very strict
Speaker 2: procedures of of like pace of play, and we were waiting.
Speaker 2: So we were waiting on our group. I have us
Speaker 2: every shot. So anyways, I hit the ball and I
Speaker 2: was on the cart path and this official comes rolling
Speaker 2: out of nowhere, and I'm like about to take a
Speaker 2: drop because there's a cart path. I know how to
Speaker 2: take a cart path drop right nearest point of relief
Speaker 2: coup length. So I'm in the process of taking a drop.
Speaker 2: This official rolls up and he's like, whoah who Five
Speaker 2: minutes later, I take the drop. The next tea is
Speaker 2: at checkpoint.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I think you've told this.
Speaker 2: Five minutes it takes to take this drop. Next tea
Speaker 2: and the groups on the green they give us the
Speaker 2: yellow they'd give us that we're moditoring you. It was insane.
Speaker 2: It was insanity. These they have to be able to
Speaker 2: take drops. I agree, basic drops.
Speaker 3: I agree. God, they just announced future groups some kind
Speaker 3: of shock. Speed didn't make it in for the morning
Speaker 3: feature group.
Speaker 2: You see, Joel Bale wrote wrote up on to quit Speed,
Speaker 2: Time to quit Speed?
Speaker 3: And did he turned down media? I can maybe one
Speaker 3: would assume he did. Did he? Yeah, he's not on
Speaker 3: here that I can.
Speaker 2: Tell God crumpy boy Birds is an he's crumpy, the
Speaker 2: grumpiest of boys.
Speaker 3: I didn't think you could turn down media at the Masters,
Speaker 3: but it seems like you can. Bob is gonna say
Speaker 3: plenty of guys are bound back or grumpier MacIntyre. Dude
Speaker 3: come on, flicking off, slamming like he's just we don't
Speaker 3: need we buried him. We're moving on without him this weekend.
Speaker 3: So we're all saying Lowry is the pretender. Birds is
Speaker 3: a contender, right has to be. Are you gonna are
Speaker 3: you gonna do it?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: God, pretender?
Speaker 3: Oh love it.
Speaker 4: I burn Road every every time he hit the ball
Speaker 4: off the tee for like the last hour and a half,
Speaker 4: you're like, oh, what a drive.
Speaker 2: Every time, I'm telling you he showed me something. But
Speaker 2: I just don't think he's the world's best putter. I
Speaker 2: just have not seen it when it matters, and that's
Speaker 2: my that's my cutting when it matters. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: think he hits the putts with the same conviction when
Speaker 2: it counts. You saw it coming down the closing holes,
Speaker 2: like he just didn't hit the puts. The put On
Speaker 2: sixteen hit was embarrassing. Eighteen putt for to take to
Speaker 2: grab a share of the lead or at that point
Speaker 2: you know he's one, he'd get one back of the
Speaker 2: lead of Rory and he and he leaves it three
Speaker 2: feet short, like I just I don't see it. All
Speaker 2: the pots that he missed coming down the stretch died
Speaker 2: low and I think that's what we saw last year
Speaker 2: at Canada. I you don't, Yeah, I wrote this down.
Speaker 2: Sam Birds is never playing Valspar again.
Speaker 4: No, I don't think he is.
Speaker 2: He skipped it is like he skipped it and he
Speaker 2: did a different prep routine and it worked. He's not
Speaker 2: playing Valspar again. It's a terrible day for Valspar.
Speaker 4: I met that.
Speaker 2: Storyline.
Speaker 4: That's a superhero. I'd be a legit superhero if.
Speaker 3: That's the case. Been a rough couple of days for
Speaker 3: the Valspar because we were live last night when Rory
Speaker 3: absolutely buried the Valves bar the Houston and Valerio and said,
Speaker 3: I didn't want to go there. I didn't want to
Speaker 3: go there. That's why I just wanted to come up
Speaker 3: and prep here. Jim Crane, I don't like the tournaments
Speaker 3: that much. That's tough scene for Brian roll App in
Speaker 3: the PGA Tour.
Speaker 2: I just want to point out, of the of the
Speaker 2: seven top players, you guys have only called Lowry a pretender.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, I would put Jason Day in there.
Speaker 4: Got okay, Well I was gonna yell at so I
Speaker 4: couldn't even say that.
Speaker 3: Well, isn't this like, I mean, this is the beauty
Speaker 3: of the Masters. We just like, I'm sorry, if we're
Speaker 3: at the US Openers, we just watched the like defending
Speaker 3: champ lose six shots in like five minutes, and we
Speaker 3: watched it last year he was four up on thirteen, and.
Speaker 2: We watched it the day before where he effectively felt
Speaker 2: like he almost ended the tournament.
Speaker 3: Yeah right in like a yes, we watched camerony I
Speaker 3: go out forty and now he's tied for the lead. Like,
Speaker 3: I don't know, I think just just just dismissing as
Speaker 3: pretenders is scary. Is scary at the Masters, It's a
Speaker 3: more fraud exercise. Just say your toast. I just think
Speaker 3: it's that kind of tournament, Rory, I don't. I mean,
Speaker 3: maybe Rory needs it to be close, right, I think,
Speaker 3: I mean he talked about that, like I think with
Speaker 3: us on the podcast of like he just what's Bryson
Speaker 3: was out of his view. He kind of like it
Speaker 3: was like, what's my challenge now, and he sort of
Speaker 3: made himself the challenge last year.
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened today. I think I think
Speaker 2: I got hitting it well. He's not hitting the ball well.
Speaker 2: But I do think he really struggles with like when
Speaker 2: things become a reality, staying in the present, like when
Speaker 2: he gets close to them being a reality, the staying
Speaker 2: in the present. And I think this is the challenge
Speaker 2: for almost every single golfer. I think this was the
Speaker 2: challenge for Scotti Scheffler last year at quil Hollow, the
Speaker 2: same thing when he had this big lead going into
Speaker 2: Sunday and he shoes forty on the front nine or
Speaker 2: whatever he shot on the front nine, and it's like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, like what's going on? And then you
Speaker 2: get this sense of urgency something I've actually this I
Speaker 2: didn't even think about this, but something Rowady said he
Speaker 2: in a press conference, complete throwaway comment that was funny
Speaker 2: at the time, and his Preternament press conference was like
Speaker 2: he said, somebody asked him about like the planning of
Speaker 2: the menu, and like when he did that, were really
Speaker 2: excited and he's like, I'd love to say that I
Speaker 2: was excited, but I'm I'm a procrastinator. I wait to
Speaker 2: do everything. Yeah, him being a procrastinator makes complete sense
Speaker 2: because like today he started hitting really good golf shots
Speaker 2: when there was a sense of urgency again, it's.
Speaker 3: Like, oh man, the exams tomorrow, I better start studying.
Speaker 3: Lock it in right now.
Speaker 2: I think you two can attest that I am the
Speaker 2: ca of procrastination.
Speaker 4: I always gets across the line, though it does.
Speaker 2: And you know, I don't want to relate this at all,
Speaker 2: Like I'm not really Rory at all. Like my biggest
Speaker 2: challenge in tournament golf habitual slow starter, like I would
Speaker 2: regularly just be like it would be thirty eight, thirty two,
Speaker 2: you know, forty, you know, thirty four, Like I could
Speaker 2: never get out of the blocks fast Rory. It feels
Speaker 2: like to be what he gets the big lead in
Speaker 2: these things. It almost he almost gets a little bit lackadaisical.
Speaker 2: He loses the edge that, you know, this urgency that
Speaker 2: he's operating under, and you know, I don't know, maybe
Speaker 2: that's it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hadn't put two and two together until just now.
Speaker 2: I happened live.
Speaker 4: You watched it happen the Gears returning.
Speaker 3: Apparently he's had an over This is PGA Tour comms,
Speaker 3: good friends. He's had an overpart round at least one time,
Speaker 3: and every Masters he's been in except for one twenty fifteen, it.
Speaker 4: Just came shot.
Speaker 3: Isn't this the whole thing of the Masters? Like, dude,
Speaker 3: if we were at Oakmont and you're I would not
Speaker 3: say Jason Day was a contender three back. I don't know,
Speaker 3: Like I just different. The Masters is like we were
Speaker 3: sitting here last night saying like how many is are
Speaker 3: we going to get to? And now we're saying like
Speaker 3: he's not hitting it well, Like things can change really
Speaker 3: quickly at this tournament in the matter of like an hour,
Speaker 3: let alone a day. And so to just dismiss guys
Speaker 3: that our quality players is really hard to do, even
Speaker 3: if they are three shots behind or four shots behind.
Speaker 3: I think it's really hard, especially at the Masters, And
Speaker 3: I think that would bring me the real quick to
Speaker 3: the course stuff, Like there were sixty five's out there today.
Speaker 3: People seem pissed about that. We've heard from Adam Scott
Speaker 3: that fifteen is firm and medicine. Scottie Scheffler, the number
Speaker 3: one player in the world. Firm is really hard, even
Speaker 3: if it's quote unfair break Sometimes I I don't know, like,
Speaker 3: what do people want do they I don't think they're
Speaker 3: out there with buckets of water throwing them on the greens.
Speaker 2: All shots also today sucked. It was really I don't
Speaker 2: know what did they want? Really? You know what I hated.
Speaker 2: I hated seeing like people hit extraordinary shots and make
Speaker 2: extraordinary runs up a leaderboard and then have a golf
Speaker 2: course that's hard enough that the leader that's up by
Speaker 2: six struggles and like you in theory, you know, you
Speaker 2: don't have to hit it three thirty down the middle
Speaker 2: to post a sixty eight like you can play a
Speaker 2: short hitter.
Speaker 4: You can.
Speaker 3: You can have an all world short game day and
Speaker 3: post a sixty eight like I've just when people make
Speaker 3: that complaint, they have to propose alternatives or do they
Speaker 3: just want everyone shooting seventy eight?
Speaker 2: Just point out all the complaints come from people that
Speaker 2: actually aren't at the golf course.
Speaker 3: It was probably pretty hard to shoot that sixty five.
Speaker 3: Cameron Young, It's Scottie Scheffler, the two best players, two
Speaker 3: of the top three best players in the world this year.
Speaker 4: You didn't have to take take that back, just so
Speaker 4: you're going right.
Speaker 2: Also, also, like let's point out what got Cameron Young
Speaker 2: to sixty five. He had a couple incredible breaks.
Speaker 3: He was true.
Speaker 4: I mean you row me to talk through him strokes
Speaker 4: getting good breaks. To quote Brandy just off the charts said,
Speaker 4: that was Brandle on the eighteenth hole of Pinehurst, when
Speaker 4: Bryson did not get total screwed on his terrible drive
Speaker 4: strokes gaining good breaks. Brandell, you know sometimes you gotta
Speaker 4: tip your cap. Uh. The wedge into nine was potentially
Speaker 4: the worst shot he hit all day, even worse than
Speaker 4: the wedge that went into the water on fifteen that
Speaker 4: just banked off a man's leg and rolled out to
Speaker 4: thirty feet, which for a two point part I mean
Speaker 4: hitting trees left and.
Speaker 3: Right, thirteen bad drive bounces in I mean good breaks
Speaker 3: for camera, good breaks.
Speaker 4: But that's sorry, Scotty, that's the way it goes.
Speaker 3: I guess like I have no hesitation to call Augustin
Speaker 3: Nashal onto the carpet about some sort of mistake or
Speaker 3: set up issue or competition's issue. I just am not
Speaker 3: seeing it this week. I'm trying to understand what the
Speaker 3: alternative that people are seeking. They're mad. But the two
Speaker 3: of the best players in the world shot sixty five.
Speaker 3: They're mad, Like what, I don't know.
Speaker 2: That was also hilarious. I'm telling you, it's firm and
Speaker 2: hard out there. It's hord Win. That's a break I get.
Speaker 2: I think hilarious. Hilarious. The hilarious thing about the whole
Speaker 2: discourse is what era of the Masters is like the
Speaker 2: most like, oh they went to that was a dark
Speaker 2: era of the Masters, right it was. It was like
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight, two thousand
Speaker 2: and nine, two thousand and six, when the golf when
Speaker 2: everybody's like, wait, the golf course got too hard, it's
Speaker 2: not as fun. They're taking away the birdies. I just
Speaker 2: don't get. It's the same the people that are complaining
Speaker 2: about this wan like just want the same thing every week,
Speaker 2: which is these guys like it's some I think that
Speaker 2: there's some psychological aspect of like they don't feel good
Speaker 2: enough about their own game that they need to see
Speaker 2: these people like they don't want to see great shots.
Speaker 2: Like to me, the setup the golf course is absolutely
Speaker 2: perfect right now. It is if you hit sensational shots
Speaker 2: you will have since you have huge rewards, and if
Speaker 2: you don't, you struggle.
Speaker 3: Gary Woodland he's been playing great shot seventy six, Aaron
Speaker 3: Ry's played a good year shot seventy eight, a great
Speaker 3: strike Like I don't know, you do have to hit good.
Speaker 2: Shots, Kurt, Kitty, Kitty, I'm can't excuse themselves. I couldn't
Speaker 2: imagine having to play a round of golf where you
Speaker 2: have to go to the bathroom all day and there's just.
Speaker 4: Nowhere to go, nowhere to go. I don't want to
Speaker 4: bring up the same one last.
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna. I'm just gonna call
Speaker 3: it out. This is this is this is really like
Speaker 3: a simple minded thinking. I think you see It's like, look, look, mama,
Speaker 3: balloon and you see it very hard on Thursday afternoon,
Speaker 3: and you see the weather forecast and there's no rain,
Speaker 3: and you just say, everybody needs to shoot. This is simple.
Speaker 3: This is way too simple by and all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: you're like neglecting the entire point of a golf tournament,
Speaker 3: the entire point of why you have major champions, the
Speaker 3: entire point of what the Masters is for. They're not
Speaker 3: like manufacturing scores. They're letting the best players have a
Speaker 3: chance to shoot sixty five hey, and get their ass
Speaker 3: kicked if they don't play well.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna run down the leaderboard real quick for you.
Speaker 2: Cameron Young, Rory McElroy, Sam Burns, Shane Lowry, Jason Day,
Speaker 2: Justin Rose, Scottie Scheffler. Uh, that's that's what is that
Speaker 2: seven players right there? This is the top seven on
Speaker 2: the board. How tong Lee's there too. If this is
Speaker 2: a shitty setup, I guess I just like shitty setups.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we'll talk more about this Sunday. I
Speaker 3: would imagine they would like guys who are playing well
Speaker 3: to be able to shoot like a sixty six again tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Is that gonna drive people crazy? I don't know, but
Speaker 2: I guess it's gotta be the right guy, you know.
Speaker 4: He If how Talk shoots a sixty six, it's gonna
Speaker 4: be you know, chaos ONNY.
Speaker 3: I mean more than like Augusta, Like you could just
Speaker 3: say the ball's going too far. That's a part of it,
Speaker 3: Like fourteen just being a pitch seven. They made a
Speaker 3: billion yards long, and it's back to being like kind
Speaker 3: of a drive and pitch hole. Wedge hole. Like that's
Speaker 3: a part of it too. Three is now just easily
Speaker 3: drive up.
Speaker 4: I mean have had nothing into seven, like nothing.
Speaker 2: It was incredible, especially today the ball with the heat,
Speaker 2: the ball was just gas up. I mean the ball
Speaker 2: you always there's always like this first like summer day
Speaker 2: where the first summer hot day you're playing and your
Speaker 2: body just moves so you're like you're just so loose
Speaker 2: because of the heat that and then the ball is
Speaker 2: just gassed up. And today it was just it was
Speaker 2: just prime with with the weather and the firmness, the
Speaker 2: ball just was going forever.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's seventeen. I was like, oh, is
Speaker 3: he like it went through the green like he's essentially
Speaker 3: up the green side that like the rory. The ball
Speaker 3: is going very far. That's a part of it. Anyways,
Speaker 3: I we're getting too worked up about this. We'll talk
Speaker 3: about it more on Sunday. I imagine load numbers are
Speaker 3: available to the players playing well tomorrow. I don't think
Speaker 3: that's you're not going to be angy about. All right,
Speaker 3: we've done our full contender, But no we haven't.
Speaker 2: We haven't got.
Speaker 4: If you if you say this right now, I'm ending
Speaker 4: the stream. I'm getting up in the.
Speaker 3: I'm going to I'm gonna say, both guys in the
Speaker 3: lead at the fifty four hole mark, one the defending champion,
Speaker 3: the other may be the best player in the world
Speaker 3: at the moment this season. I'm gonna say, they're contenders.
Speaker 4: What do you what do you have to say? No?
Speaker 2: No, no, what do you? What do you? What do
Speaker 2: you have to You're you're up first?
Speaker 4: I think they're both contenders.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Rory's a contender, and uh, Cam is
Speaker 2: all right, you're just being cheap here.
Speaker 3: Try try to put PJ on the on the edge
Speaker 3: over there.
Speaker 4: Just trying to put Joseph would have been more bad
Speaker 4: than I would have been. Joseph would have came in
Speaker 4: here with the head full of Steve if that happened.
Speaker 4: I mean, you're still mad at me about last night.
Speaker 4: Apparently I fight hard enough.
Speaker 3: Well, we'll make picks here in a minute from the
Speaker 3: board final with fifty four whole mark. Any other Saturday
Speaker 3: storylines nobody's talking about. Oh there's a few, Well, there's
Speaker 3: a few we have we have, you know, Department of
Speaker 3: Defense not providing adequate armor to its troops.
Speaker 4: Is that what we got, yeah, substandard weaponry. The PXG
Speaker 4: platoon leaves behind a troop and Augusta Marco Penji on
Speaker 4: substantiated rumor the PXG truck, which was you know, kind
Speaker 4: of shot on by Potty last night anyway, ye not
Speaker 4: doing its job. Marco Penji received a full bag fitting
Speaker 4: from his coach on Monday, not the PXG troops. His
Speaker 4: coach was the one making him new clubs this week,
Speaker 4: and his master's debut.
Speaker 3: Just left them behind. That's terrible, Penge and Potty. I
Speaker 3: mean you kind of get with you, you know, you
Speaker 3: dance on definitely kind of how it works kaboom as
Speaker 3: they say. You want a little under the tree story
Speaker 3: time please Saturday Saturday. That's a good I've been holding
Speaker 3: this for Saturday night. Just it justn't great. I was
Speaker 3: having a conversation, you know, somebody comes out then.
Speaker 2: And then you know the other person in my group's like,
Speaker 2: everybody's wearing watches this week, right, yeah, you need to
Speaker 2: know what time it is. So you're wearing watches, and
Speaker 2: so he goes, hey, that's a nice watch, and you
Speaker 2: know it's a fancy watch, and uh.
Speaker 3: And Nancy watches and people under that tree.
Speaker 2: And that and that person is, you know, I hate
Speaker 2: this watch. And he's like, I mean why, You're like,
Speaker 2: it's just not my style. Someone gave it to him.
Speaker 2: Who's there, you know, and it's just not my style.
Speaker 2: I don't like it.
Speaker 3: Someone gave it to him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very very expensive watch. Very expensive, very very expensive watch.
Speaker 2: He's like, so I have to wear it. I have
Speaker 2: to wear it with this weak and the other person
Speaker 2: that was with, you know, the Rolex guy, it's right
Speaker 2: behind you. Obviously Rolex is all over the place of
Speaker 2: this week. They're a big partner of the Masters. And
Speaker 2: the guy goes really and it's wearing a long sleeve
Speaker 2: shirt and he pulls it over his watch. That's not
Speaker 2: that's not a Rolex immediately.
Speaker 3: Very expensive other brand Caudie that he doesn't.
Speaker 2: It's like hiding the watch.
Speaker 3: That is a kind of under the tree story that
Speaker 3: happens that all the power players. That's funny. That's good,
Speaker 3: all right. I think that does it for start.
Speaker 4: We just had one more, not a huge one. Looking ahead.
Speaker 4: You know, what was Rory's first event after last year's Masters,
Speaker 4: the Zurix Zurich. Looking ahead to the Zurich.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna be this year.
Speaker 2: We know that well.
Speaker 4: Andrew Novak mc hammer. What's he doing today? Walking around
Speaker 4: following his teammate, defending champ be in Ben Griffin, building
Speaker 4: some teams.
Speaker 3: That's awesome. That's like when to Hooma walked, you know,
Speaker 3: his first pasters. I don't know if this is Noback's first.
Speaker 3: I only get it, but yeah, walking, sticking around, having beers,
Speaker 3: walking the course, good stuff. Love that he's supporting his teammate.
Speaker 3: Great day out, there got one more to go. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm hard to think we will ever top what you know,
Speaker 3: this podcast we did last last year. This time maybe.
Speaker 4: For Pete not so fast friend, Peach.
Speaker 2: But Peach, what are we going to talk about with
Speaker 2: the camp? I feel like we emptied the chamber and uh,
Speaker 2: after the.
Speaker 3: Play Players Championship we'll have plenty.
Speaker 4: Oh believe me. If he posts this off tomorrow, this
Speaker 4: is something's gonna happen. There's gonna be a lot. This
Speaker 4: is not gonna be a straightforward get done.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be bummed out about my newsletter A piece
Speaker 2: from Thursday really aging poorly.
Speaker 4: Uh. There have already been a discussion amongst the boys
Speaker 4: about what to do with that receipt if and when.
Speaker 3: I mean that, I'll remember this Saturday like I was like,
Speaker 3: you know, you just well, you know the Master's cliche.
Speaker 3: You just watched the little squares change and he's just
Speaker 3: kept going up end up and up and up from
Speaker 3: four to ten and you're just like that. That essentially
Speaker 3: seven birdies in about you know, twelve holes, I think
Speaker 3: from three to fourteen. And I'll remember that for sure,
Speaker 3: mainly because I knew what it was doing to my colleagues,
Speaker 3: Joseph and you, PJ. That was really special Saturday, but
Speaker 3: we got one more to go.
Speaker 2: I was, yeah, I was sitting I was sitting looking
Speaker 2: at leaderboards and just watching him ago and I was like,
Speaker 2: I wonder how long PJ made it with got her up?
Speaker 4: I actually, I mean, I've made it too long. I
Speaker 4: missed three and four. That's what made me stay because
Speaker 4: I realized quickly that something was happening.
Speaker 3: So sorry, Chris, all right, let's get out of here.
Speaker 3: Picks Picks.
Speaker 2: I picked Rory pretermin I Get. I'm sticking with him.
Speaker 2: He's time for the lead. Why would get?
Speaker 3: Why would I go to deliver on the gambling podcast?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: You know what the deputy could ruin a gambling podcast.
Speaker 3: Because he would be the only one you got.
Speaker 4: I mean, just any of these guys. But I'll just
Speaker 4: you know, take the words out of his mouth. I
Speaker 4: pick Cameron Young pre tournament. I'm not gonna change it.
Speaker 3: I can't believe pretty good boys. It just went way
Speaker 3: out on that limb there with two of the top
Speaker 3: three players.
Speaker 4: All right, Relax, relax. I think you want the tickets
Speaker 4: from last August to two hundred and one, because I
Speaker 4: got those.
Speaker 3: I'm just down on the dumps.
Speaker 2: Hey, do you have tickets?
Speaker 4: I have a lot of money at stakes tomorrow, like
Speaker 4: a lot of money.
Speaker 3: Interesting. Interesting, all right, I'm gonna take I think, oh god,
Speaker 3: it's hard to do after what we just watched today.
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna take Rory again to go back
Speaker 3: to back for all the reasons we talked about last night.
Speaker 3: And I think this was just the day where it
Speaker 3: was sort of a hiccup that it just sometimes it
Speaker 3: comes Thursday afternoon and sometimes it comes Friday morning. He
Speaker 3: goes out in forty or something like that. I think
Speaker 3: it happened today. I have to clean up, gotta clean cars.
Speaker 3: About that Amen Corner trip? You know like that was
Speaker 3: that was bad all the way around, Like I don't
Speaker 3: know how many good shots he hit there for about
Speaker 3: an hour.
Speaker 2: He has he has to drive it well tomorrow, Like
