<v Speaker 1>miss part one, be sure to check it out. We

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.760

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 1>got started with the Twitter account and website Monday Qualifier info.

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:43.599
<v Speaker 1>In part two, we take a deep dived instead of

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>some of the lesser known qualifiers for the US Open,

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>which is up next week. It's crazy how fast it came.

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>This new schedule's kind of got major after major, so

0:00:55.320 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>yes US Open essentially week starting this weekend, as we

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 1>get ready for the season's third major championship, you learn

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.959
<v Speaker 1>about some of the guys that hopefully one or two

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>of them make a run this weekend. So thanks for

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Ryan to Ryan again and enjoy part two of our conversation.

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I miss a Green for example, I'm already upset. When

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.040
<v Speaker 2>I find my ball in the bunker, I'm really upset.

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 2>And when I find my ball in arid egg Friday Egg,

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 2>the dreaded Frida Egg Friday, Frida Bride egg Lie, I'm

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 2>about ready to run off of the hump. What a what?

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>What? It's the sentiment? I think this is like one

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>of the most ridiculous things. And this is probably a

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>good transition into talking about you know, US Open players

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and section alls that just happened.

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 3>But what's the polls on?

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Like the fact that the web dot Com event of

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>web dot com scheduled again last year they didn't have one,

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.399
<v Speaker 1>but the year before they had one. Schedule an opposite

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>event of the US Open, like the the National Open,

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>the Open where anybody can win in web dot com

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:32.079
<v Speaker 1>players are now being forced to choose, like do I

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.920
<v Speaker 1>sacrifice a week on the web dot Com Tour to

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 1>play in the US Open or do and it's really

0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.359
<v Speaker 1>two weeks because you're playing a thirty six holes on Mondays,

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.920
<v Speaker 1>not really a way to prepare for a you know,

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>a web dot com event, but sacrificing you know, web

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>tour card, you know, potential PGA tour card versus playing

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 1>in a major championship.

0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I I think it's it's very unfortunate,

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>especially because it's the only way to the PJA Tour

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 2>and every start is so valuable. You know. I talked

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 2>to Brian Ritchie on the on the on the range

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 2>at the Chicago event and he's like, he's played. I

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.239
<v Speaker 2>think this week will be a seventh in a row.

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>But he's like, hey, I'm whatever. He is ninetieth on

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 2>the money list. He's like, I can't you know, I

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 2>had a twenty, he had like a top twenty the

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 2>week before. He's like, I can't take a week off

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>right now, I gotta play. So you make guys choose,

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, Canadian guys this this week. You know a

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 2>lot of guys go up there and play. They're missing

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 2>on a week again. So now you're looking at missing

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 2>two weeks. Possibly you get through a sectionals and you're

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>a Canadian, you're missing two weeks and it's your only

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 2>way to the tour.

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, you finished top fifteen in the US Open.

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't do anything. Yeah, exactly like Andrew Landry that

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.119
<v Speaker 1>happened to a couple of years ago.

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Exactly. I mean, outside of a top ten, and the

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>top ten doesn't really mean much. Now. It could get

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 2>you into the Web playoffs or whatever, but you're already

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 2>a Web member. Like, it's almost impossible to go the

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 2>route of Monday qualifying with no status and get to

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.719
<v Speaker 2>the PGA Tour. Besides money like good money. A top

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 2>fifteen at the US Open is a guy who is

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.359
<v Speaker 2>fiftieth on the Web dot Com Tour. His fifteenth at

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.480
<v Speaker 2>the Web event is way more valuable to him than

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 2>a fifteenth outside of monetary than a fifteenth at the

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 2>US Open.

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I wrote an article about this said, yeah for Aaron Hills,

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>but so Jack McGuire.

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:33.919
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.799
<v Speaker 1>So Jack McGuire was He was a standout at Floria State.

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 1>He was playing on the Web Tour that year. He

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>was one of I think fifteen players that played the

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>US Open from the Web Tour yep. Okay, So he

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>was the low Web Tour player that week. At the

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.160
<v Speaker 1>US Open, I think he finished like t twenty seven yep.

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 1>And he ends up on the season finishing eighty second

0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 1>yep on the money list. So top seventy five get

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 1>into Web Tour finals and have a legit shot at

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.919
<v Speaker 1>their PGA Tour card so he finishes eighty second, and

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.599
<v Speaker 1>I you know, I made the argument, like, you know,

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 1>if he finishes, if he's the low guy of the

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 1>fifteen guys, if you extrapolate that out to a WEB field,

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>that's a top ten finish in a WEB event.

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 2>And he literally could be on the PGA Tour because

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 2>he has four good weeks. I mean, Max Homa is

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 2>a perfect example of that. He had a terrible season

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.479
<v Speaker 2>and four good weeks A terrible is too strong word.

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 2>He didn't have a very good season, snuck in the playoffs,

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 2>so that week, you know, potentially cost Jack McGuire a

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 2>PGA Tour card hypothetically.

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>And we see it with like Doug Gimbs played really

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>well in a couple PGA Tour events, but he didn't

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.919
<v Speaker 1>play the webs those weeks yep. And like, so do

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.360
<v Speaker 1>you think there should be some way for them to share?

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean sort of points. Yeah, it's gotta be

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 2>some sort of points if you're gonna play events. I mean,

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 2>how is it that you know, Ryan Yep or anybody

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 2>any of the can Indians that are playing this week, Like,

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 2>if he finishes fifteenth, he just beat a way stronger

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 2>field than he would have down at a WEB event,

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 2>So there has to be some sort of points. Now,

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>obviously you have to limit it so people just don't

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>go play PGA Tour events. But like Canadians are not

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 2>going to give up, or guys are not going to

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.040
<v Speaker 2>give up a chance to play in the US Open

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.719
<v Speaker 2>or the Canadian Open Open. Yeah, it's their national Open.

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Like Ryan can't turn down a chance to go play

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 2>in his National Open for a million dollars, Like he

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 2>just can't do it. So there has to be some

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 2>sort of reward for doing that and making the cut.

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.719
<v Speaker 3>Especially since they're run by the same.

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Organism exactly, and the goal is to.

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 3>Get USGA but like, you know, you're getting fed. They're

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 3>getting fed accident exactly, Like how.

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Are he's not getting Web points exactly? Yeah, I mean

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 2>it is. You can't ask guys to go play in

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 2>the thirty six hole qualifier, get through, make the cut,

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 2>and then besides mount there's no reward for zero like none.

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy and actually a penalty because the guys who

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't get through are at a WEB event all moving

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 2>ahead of you.

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>It kind of like illuminates like the struggle of like

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the you know, the the guy that the grinder is like,

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 1>no coverage.

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 3>But then also the system does no benefits whatsoever.

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, monetarily or you know the system itself. You know

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Thompson who I interviewed, who's retired and or playing

0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 2>this semi retired, mostly retired. It is like, you know,

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I finished fiftieth on the money List. I'd walked into

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 2>a seven eleven. I knew the cashier was making more

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 2>money than I was. Like, you know, he's like, I

0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 2>had a family of three. Steve Wheatcroft I just interviewed

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 2>and he's I think he's just okay to say, but

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 2>he's looking for a job currently. Like he said, if

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 2>I found a good job, I would leave. He said,

0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm at that time they had played four or five events.

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 2>He was like fiftieth on the Moneyless and he's said, Ryan,

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm twenty seven. After my bills are paid, I was

0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.840
<v Speaker 2>about twenty five thousand dollars in the hole for the year.

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 2>He's like, what job.

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 3>He's like, I'm and you're one of the five hundred

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 3>best players.

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 2>He's like, I'm one of the right. I'm like one

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 2>of the five hundred best, and my job has cost

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 2>me twenty seven twenty five thousand dollars this year.

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 1>It's an interesting paradigm though, because part of me, like

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 1>on the flip side, thinks that Tiger Woods might be

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the most underpaid athlete in all the world.

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:34.679
<v Speaker 3>Like you look at the the.

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 1>De economy of like Lebron James makes forty million dollars

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.080
<v Speaker 1>a year and this is like, you know, a cap,

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.960
<v Speaker 1>but like veteran minimum in the NBA is less than

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:47.439
<v Speaker 1>a million, right, So like Tiger woods en course earnings

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>is going to be say six million dollars this year, yes,

0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.840
<v Speaker 1>and like the the middle of the road PGA tour

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>players making two yeah, like that that's completely out of

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>whack too.

0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure. And I mean there's been tons of that.

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.959
<v Speaker 2>I've looked up a PGA tour player or a guy

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.679
<v Speaker 2>who's like lost his status, and I mean Brian Davis

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 2>would be a perfect example. Like if I said before

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I knew that Brian Davis had fourteen million dollars in

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 2>PGA tour warnings, like how much he has no wins,

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 2>zero wins, he has a European tour win, but like

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 2>how much money has he made? I would have guessed

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 2>five million. I mean you mess. He made fourteen million dollars,

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 2>like it is.

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 1>The ultimate reward against it is a tour. And I

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>think Roberto Castro said something fascinating on the podcast was

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 1>like I had I think he's He said something like,

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I think the biggest mistake players make is they get

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.440
<v Speaker 1>on tour and they're like, I'm going to play every week. Yeah,

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:44.079
<v Speaker 1>because what happens is it normalizes the fact that you're

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.840
<v Speaker 1>playing for seven and a half million dollars every single week, yep,

0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>or seven million dollars every week, and like I have

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>to limit my schedule so that that feeling is special

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.080
<v Speaker 1>because then you're you treat it the right way, like

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 1>what an opportunity as opposed to just another week?

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Right? Yeah? Yeah, I mean, uh, Chip McDaniel got through.

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 2>He's one of the few players that a US Open

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.560
<v Speaker 2>could actually mean something. He's uge, Yeah, I mean huge.

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean he like just has to make the cut. Yeah.

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>If he makes the cut, he has you know, he's

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 2>in web finals, you know. So, but of all the

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 2>other players that don't have met like this is a

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 2>it's a great week from the standpoint of you got

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 2>to get to play in the US Open, But from

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 2>like a career standpoint, it's somewhat meaningless outside of a

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 2>top ten.

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.679
<v Speaker 3>Chip McDaniel's like one of the best stories of Yeah.

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure.

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 1>He's kind of like TJ Vogel was last year, but

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>actually playing well in events.

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly. And his backstory, I mean he tweeted out yesterday.

0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean he grew up on a nine hole course

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.680
<v Speaker 2>in a tiny little town in Kentucky. I mean the

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:49.559
<v Speaker 2>fact that he's going to be a PGA tour or

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 2>at least a web dot Com tour member next year

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 2>is pretty crazy. I mean, he went to Kentucky, had

0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 2>a good junior but I mean he grew up in

0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 2>a tiny little town. I mean he calls it the course.

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 2>He grew up on hick pebble and like, I mean,

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.200
<v Speaker 2>he grew up in a tiny little town. I don't

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 2>it's in King County. I don't know what the town is.

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.840
<v Speaker 3>But like Perry Maxwell, grew up in a tiny town.

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh really, there's a nine really.

0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, yeah, that's why I piqued my interest. Yeah,

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 1>so let's talk about so Chip McDaniel. He's a guy

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:26.679
<v Speaker 1>he got through sectionals. Yes, what are what are some

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.000
<v Speaker 1>other guys that are are Monday Q sensations.

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, we can watch, uh sure up at a pebble.

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.560
<v Speaker 2>So, I mean the local guy from Chicago, Andy Pope.

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean Andy's been at it for a long time.

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 2>He turned pro in two thousand and six. I've heard

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 2>did you know that, like he made a living or

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 2>helped make made a living at Golden Tea. Do you

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 2>know that?

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 1>No? Yeah, so my one of my good college buddies, Yes,

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:59.400
<v Speaker 1>played as it was number two on Glenbard West.

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, so like ag yeah, So, I mean he's

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 2>from Glenn Allen obviously, but I heard so I posted

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 2>about Andy, you retweeted it, and a bunch of guys

0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 2>sent me some things about Golden Tea. I guess he'd

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 2>have to confirm it. But who's like top five in

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 2>the world on Golden Tea and like help like monetize

0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 2>or help support his his playing career.

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 3>Unbelievable.

0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a pretty crazy story. But I mean he's

0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.200
<v Speaker 2>been at it since like two thousand and six. I

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 2>mean he's only you know, he's uh five, he only

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.839
<v Speaker 2>has five PGA tour starts, and four of them are

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 2>the US Open. I mean he's this will be his

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 2>six PGA Tour start and four of them are US opens.

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's qualified months, he's sectional qualified in four

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 2>of the last five years. It's pretty crazy. He's so

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.520
<v Speaker 2>he's been a pro for two thousand, since two thousand

0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 2>and six, been a Q school twelve times.

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 3>Where's he playing right now?

0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean he doesn't play, you know, he plays floor

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 2>to Florida Mini tours. Yeah, I mean he plays a

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 2>lot of West Florida Golf Tour, Minor League Tour, Florida

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Elite Tour, those kind of places.

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Last time I saw something about Andy Pope was some

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:16.560
<v Speaker 1>random Golf Channel guy was posting about their club championship

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:18.439
<v Speaker 1>and Pope one.

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was like Andy Pope. Yeah, so he's Monday.

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I think he musty qualified into one WEB event this year.

0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:29.200
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I mean he's playing like small mini tour.

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I think, just like a perfect example of like the

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:37.560
<v Speaker 1>financial like yes, realities. Yes, like this guy probably knows

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 1>like if he doesn't, if he doesn't play around him,

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 1>he's just gonna hamorrhage cash.

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I mean that's because the mini tours are so

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 2>small now there's no reason to travel. I mean the

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Hooters Tour, you know, a winning check was forty grand,

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 2>so people would come. But now mini tours are so fractured,

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.480
<v Speaker 2>no one gets more than you know, thirty forty. Yeah, yeah,

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 2>you get like three grand, Like you're not you might

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.800
<v Speaker 2>as well just stay at home and play small tours.

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's the thing is like a Canadian tour so expensive,

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Latin American tour so expensive to play.

0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean you're only playing for spots up there.

0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 2>You're definitely like burning through cash, even the web tour. Yeah,

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean for sure. I mean I stayed at Ryan's

0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.920
<v Speaker 2>house and this was Ryan Yepp's house, and I mean,

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's like, I'm not making any money. He

0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 2>was struggling to like stay afloat. I mean Kyle Thompson

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 2>ed loaher you know, I mean ed Lard's like won

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 2>some events in an Asian He's like, I've burned through

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 2>that cash a long time ago. He's like that's long gone.

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:49.120
<v Speaker 2>So I mean there's only one place to really play.

0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 1>The European Yeah sorry, yeah, yeah, so what uh?

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Who? So shipping down Eric Dietrich is a good story. Eric.

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 2>He got through at Washington, he won by four. He

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 2>played the mckensey Tour the last three. This will be

0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 2>his third year. I mean last year he made two

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 2>of ten cuts. His best finish was a T forty seven.

0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 2>He made fourteen hundred thirty four dollars and fifty cents

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 2>last year on the McKinsey Tour, so he was probably

0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 2>in the whole about twenty grand, twenty five grand. And

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 2>then he went to a minor league tour event at

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 2>the end of last year and shot eighty eight. I

0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:31.520
<v Speaker 2>posted about it. I mean, he had two nines and

0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 2>a ten shot eighty eight. Got then at the beginning

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 2>of twenty nineteen, got through McKenzie Tour School or Q

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 2>School again for the third time, made the first cut,

0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.200
<v Speaker 2>and then shot sixty seven to sixty five or something

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 2>like that yesterday and again. I think that just speaks

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.800
<v Speaker 2>to the talent that is out there. Like this is

0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:54.720
<v Speaker 2>a guy obviously went through some struggles, but like he

0:15:54.760 --> 0:16:00.120
<v Speaker 2>has done nothing as a professional and wins a a

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 2>sectional pretty easily, and it's going to play in the

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 2>in the US Open. I mean, the guy shot eleven

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:08.000
<v Speaker 2>under one by four.

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.920
<v Speaker 3>And winning by four is the thing. It's not just eleven.

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Right, Eleven under doesn't mean much except when the next

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:16.280
<v Speaker 2>best score of seven hunderd.

0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I think this Cam Young from Wake Forest gonna be

0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.520
<v Speaker 1>a really good player. And I saw he was the

0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 1>only guy under part is sectional and he got four

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.000
<v Speaker 1>under it and I was like, that's another reason I

0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:30.520
<v Speaker 1>like it. And he was kind of he's like a

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.760
<v Speaker 1>little bit under the radar college stud but like it's

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>like another reason to like him.

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I think a lot of people know

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Nate Ashley's story. I'm Nate Lashley story. I mean his

0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:45.720
<v Speaker 2>parents and girlfriend were killed in a car crash. He

0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 2>got through, so you know that's a great story.

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 3>He was like prolific on the Latin American.

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, he had a pretty outstanding uh. And then

0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 2>speaking of of PJA Tours, Colum Terran is a a

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 2>kid from England and you don't hear much about China,

0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.960
<v Speaker 2>but his China season last year was one of the

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 2>most remarkable many tour. I mean he won the Order

0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.320
<v Speaker 2>of Merit without winning, so he had he made fourteen

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.520
<v Speaker 2>or fourteen cuts. I think his worst finish of the

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.120
<v Speaker 2>year was T twenty nine. I think he had twelve

0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:22.359
<v Speaker 2>top top twenty fives, nine top tens, ten top tens,

0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.520
<v Speaker 2>something like that. I mean he won the Order of

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Merit over Charlie Sackson and Charlie sacks Charlie had made

0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.120
<v Speaker 2>every cut and had two wins and he still didn't

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 2>win win the money. So he got through. He shot.

0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.160
<v Speaker 2>He shot fourteen hunder with two doubles, so I mean

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.960
<v Speaker 2>he's had a decent year on the webd but he

0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 2>got through. Another guy, another guy, Guiermo Pira, is from

0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Chile and has really struggled in the Latin American Tour

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.840
<v Speaker 2>until this year has had He's made every cut and

0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 2>has had like six top tens and eight events. He

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 2>got through. I mean, you know, rub Roberto Castro got

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 2>through Connor Arundel is a is a good story. He

0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:12.560
<v Speaker 2>went over to Europe and really struggled. He's only had

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:16.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight web starts and made eight cuts over here.

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 2>He has one of the He got into nine playoffs

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.119
<v Speaker 2>over a two year span on the web Mondays and

0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:29.320
<v Speaker 2>didn't make one. Oh my god, yes, I think it

0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:33.119
<v Speaker 2>was nine or eight. I mean he would shoot, you know,

0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.480
<v Speaker 2>sixty five, sixty six get into a playoff and losing

0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.080
<v Speaker 2>a playoff. It was like eight or nine over a

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:39.119
<v Speaker 2>two year span.

0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.359
<v Speaker 3>So that he's had like the worst bad beats.

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:45.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I mean that's that's pretty bad. There's not

0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:47.439
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't get much worse than that. I mean, at

0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:49.560
<v Speaker 2>least if you just go shoot seventy two, you know

0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:54.000
<v Speaker 2>you can you can go home? Yeah, right, like, yeah,

0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:55.879
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have it today, right, Like, I mean he

0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 2>was six strokes away from having assuming he plays well

0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:04.480
<v Speaker 2>in the thing in the event like web status. I mean,

0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:11.520
<v Speaker 2>so he got through uh t K Kelly unfortunately Yeah, yeah,

0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean he tweeted about it. Uh doubled the last

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.400
<v Speaker 2>and then and then bogie the I.

0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Saw Garber play the last four or four over. Yeah,

0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.160
<v Speaker 1>in his place, he was I think one shot out.

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean TK is first alternate, so should he

0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 2>has a chance to get it tough?

0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.680
<v Speaker 1>He had tough where he I think he finished six

0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:34.840
<v Speaker 1>on the Latin American Tour money list two years ago,

0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.399
<v Speaker 1>and it's like he he only got one start on

0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 1>the web.

0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:38.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he finished.

0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:41.840
<v Speaker 1>You play on a tour all year long, and this

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:43.840
<v Speaker 1>is one of the things about it. It is like he

0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:47.640
<v Speaker 1>finished six on the money list, played great. I mean

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 1>he's you know, a couple thousand dollars then, and he's

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.320
<v Speaker 1>got nearly any status.

0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's why they're changing it next year is because,

0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:59.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like Charlie Saxon is a perfect example. I

0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.239
<v Speaker 2>talked to Charlie at the at the Chicago event. Had

0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:04.120
<v Speaker 2>he not played well at the beginning of the year,

0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:07.840
<v Speaker 2>he could have had no status on the web dot com.

0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.879
<v Speaker 2>And he had two wins and made fourteen or fourteen

0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:15.080
<v Speaker 2>cuts in China. He's an all time money leader, all

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:18.120
<v Speaker 2>time wins leader, and he literally if he didn't play

0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.040
<v Speaker 2>well at the beginning of the season, would have had

0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:24.440
<v Speaker 2>virtually no status. I mean, the PGA Tour has to change,

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.320
<v Speaker 2>had to change that. You can't expect guys to go play,

0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:30.280
<v Speaker 2>invest all that money, to go play a full season,

0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:32.679
<v Speaker 2>finish in the top five, and then not give him

0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:36.200
<v Speaker 2>status based on that. I mean, that's insane.

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:40.399
<v Speaker 1>It's in placing instead more important of three events that

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 1>are played over exactly six week eight week period exactly.

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:48.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean. Michael Bluticavelli is a you know, it has

0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:52.960
<v Speaker 2>been like really good to the account he won. He

0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:57.960
<v Speaker 2>won the season ending Latin American the Tour Championship and

0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:02.280
<v Speaker 2>end up finishing third on the money list, but his

0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:04.800
<v Speaker 2>stat is stunk. He said in hindsight, I would have

0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:08.840
<v Speaker 2>skipped the Tour Championship, rested and gone to final stage

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:11.240
<v Speaker 2>because because it's a week before, because it's a week before.

0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:14.000
<v Speaker 2>He's like, I would have just rested and played well

0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 2>at final stage in my status would have been way

0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:18.960
<v Speaker 2>better than it is now. He's like, I burned myself out,

0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:22.879
<v Speaker 2>didn't play well, didn't play well at final stage, so

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:26.199
<v Speaker 2>didn't improve my status any And I'm like behind a

0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:28.600
<v Speaker 2>ton of guys hardly getting into any events.

0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:32.120
<v Speaker 1>And that's the And I think that's the same thing

0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:35.360
<v Speaker 1>that happens too. Like to me, the guy that finishes

0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:39.200
<v Speaker 1>second on the web money list, yeah, or like third, right,

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Like that's way more impressive to me. I've been finishing

0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 1>ninetieth on the PGA Tour money list. Yeah, But they

0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.400
<v Speaker 1>go in and like, if you don't play well, you're

0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:51.760
<v Speaker 1>you're in over eight weeks, you're sol Like the system

0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:56.560
<v Speaker 1>rewards mediocrity on the PGA Tour, which to me is

0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:59.880
<v Speaker 1>is going to be very detrimental in the long term

0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:03.679
<v Speaker 1>because of the way the game's changing, where the young play.

0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:06.440
<v Speaker 1>These guys they the tour, I don't think there's as

0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:10.120
<v Speaker 1>many twenty, there's no there's not as many twenty year

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:15.439
<v Speaker 1>superstars anymore because of what's happened with technology golf. We

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:18.200
<v Speaker 1>did a podcast with an economist that it's like we're

0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:20.800
<v Speaker 1>in this transition period where youth is going to be

0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:25.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I think like from the tour standpoint,

0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:29.960
<v Speaker 1>they need a massive overhaul because of like some of

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:33.680
<v Speaker 1>the best players in the world aren't playing, yes, and

0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:37.440
<v Speaker 1>like Scottie Scheffler is a perfect example right now. How

0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:39.320
<v Speaker 1>could you not say he's one of the one hundred

0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:41.600
<v Speaker 1>best players in the United States right now?

0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and if he doesn't play, assuming he doesn't win

0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:46.240
<v Speaker 2>the money title on the web dot com, if he

0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:48.639
<v Speaker 2>doesn't play well the first you know, in the fall

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:52.680
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, he literally could miss a ton of starts. Yeah,

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:57.000
<v Speaker 2>and his card has gone almost instantaneously, assuming he doesn't

0:22:57.040 --> 0:22:58.600
<v Speaker 2>have a great finish in the middle of the year.

0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:01.399
<v Speaker 1>And that's what this news schedule to me is illuminated

0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:05.000
<v Speaker 1>with the PGA tour is like, so we go from

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:08.439
<v Speaker 1>the PGA, which is a major nobody's getting into, right

0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:11.160
<v Speaker 1>we go to Colonial, which is a limited one hundred

0:23:11.160 --> 0:23:14.879
<v Speaker 1>and twenty two person field, and they're giving exemptions to

0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:18.359
<v Speaker 1>to Drew Love and Tucker Watkins guys with no status, right,

0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:22.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, Drew's got conditional status on Canada. Tucker Watkins

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:25.880
<v Speaker 1>might be playing it might not actually be playing professionals off,

0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I think he's working, right, And then and then you

0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 1>go from that to Memorial, which is an invite only

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:33.959
<v Speaker 1>it's like some of these guys haven't played in two months.

0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:36.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean Max Homa is a perfect example of

0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:39.680
<v Speaker 2>what I think the tour might miss out on had

0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:44.399
<v Speaker 2>he not Monday qualified into into the Waste Management, played

0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:48.800
<v Speaker 2>well there, then top ten at Genesis, whatever the next

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:49.399
<v Speaker 2>week's was.

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:51.399
<v Speaker 3>I think, itis, he's.

0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Never winning, and we're missing out on a great story

0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:58.199
<v Speaker 2>and be a great talent obviously, and a great personality

0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 2>exactly like the talent that there's a lot of guys

0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 2>behind Max Homa that have the same status as Max

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:07.439
<v Speaker 2>that didn't play well or didn't Monday qualify in I mean,

0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:11.719
<v Speaker 2>he was already at the Waste Management, which is the

0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:15.320
<v Speaker 2>first third of the season, was already at Monday qualifying status.

0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:19.920
<v Speaker 2>And had he not done those things in succession and one,

0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:22.960
<v Speaker 2>we would have never I mean, obviously a lot of

0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:25.159
<v Speaker 2>people know about Max, but not to the extent we

0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:29.199
<v Speaker 2>know about him now because like we didn't get to

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:31.720
<v Speaker 2>excess there's a lot of fans who didn't know Max

0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 2>prior to his win and didn't get to see that personality.

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:37.920
<v Speaker 2>And there's a lot of guys who don't have status

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:41.919
<v Speaker 2>even though they top twenty five money list on the

0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Web last year.

0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:48.120
<v Speaker 1>It's an interesting it's a dilemma that golf has because

0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:52.680
<v Speaker 1>it seems to me, like twenty guys or that get

0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:57.200
<v Speaker 1>all the vacuum. It's like the vacuum and like that

0:24:57.440 --> 0:25:01.480
<v Speaker 1>that's also like detrimental to the game because like, I mean,

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 1>how many NBA players can an NBA fan rattle off? Yep, hundreds, Yes,

0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:08.960
<v Speaker 1>like I could rattle off hundreds of NBA players yep,

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:13.960
<v Speaker 1>But like for average for a regular PGA Tour fan, right,

0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:17.119
<v Speaker 1>like they only care about twenty people.

0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you know. It was kind of uh.

0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Keith Mitchell was a perfect example. Like they were like, oh,

0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:27.479
<v Speaker 2>he's a nobody, Like he's had a pretty good career,

0:25:27.600 --> 0:25:30.480
<v Speaker 2>like like he didn't get through Q school, went to

0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:33.800
<v Speaker 2>the Latin American Tour, played really well, went to the Web,

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:36.480
<v Speaker 2>played pretty well, and got in the PGA Tour. One

0:25:36.520 --> 0:25:37.480
<v Speaker 2>he's not in the top.

0:25:37.320 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 3>Ten like he mondayed into valspar top ten.

0:25:40.080 --> 0:25:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like, I mean he's not like that's a guy

0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:46.159
<v Speaker 2>who's a really good player who a lot of people

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:49.080
<v Speaker 2>saw his succession is that would end up where he's

0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:49.640
<v Speaker 2>ended up.

0:25:50.280 --> 0:25:51.440
<v Speaker 3>Like, what's amazing.

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I was looking the other day his caddy Crunchy Pete

0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:56.399
<v Speaker 1>has more Twitter followers than he does he's a PGA

0:25:56.520 --> 0:25:57.119
<v Speaker 1>Tour winner.

0:25:57.280 --> 0:26:01.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah exactly. I mean that's I think think that the tour,

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:06.239
<v Speaker 2>the Champions Tour especially or like a lot all the

0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:11.680
<v Speaker 2>tours need to like focus on the story of these

0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:14.760
<v Speaker 2>guys and how talented they are and the struggle that

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:18.680
<v Speaker 2>is their reality, because I think it's a human interest

0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:23.160
<v Speaker 2>story and I think it humanizes these guys more than

0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:26.560
<v Speaker 2>what people think pro golf is. Like it's not private

0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:29.760
<v Speaker 2>jets and caddies that travel with you and those kind

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:33.840
<v Speaker 2>of things. It's guys who are broke, flat broke. Well.

0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I think like that's like the Max Homa thing is

0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:38.640
<v Speaker 1>a perfect exact I think he tweeted out right after

0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:41.240
<v Speaker 1>he wins, he wins one point two million dollars, yes,

0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:45.399
<v Speaker 1>and he's flying coach yep, right after he wins. But

0:26:45.560 --> 0:26:48.480
<v Speaker 1>like that's a perfect guy that understands like I mean,

0:26:48.600 --> 0:26:50.679
<v Speaker 1>he played an entire season on the PGA Tour and

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:54.160
<v Speaker 1>made nine thousand dollars, and like, you know, the the

0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:56.879
<v Speaker 1>young guys that make it out there right away, like

0:26:56.920 --> 0:27:00.480
<v Speaker 1>you see it every like Grayson Murray bought uh Or

0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 1>Maserati and like to her, players are like what are

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:04.040
<v Speaker 1>you doing?

0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Like you know, the instant success.

0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:10.000
<v Speaker 1>They don't have the perspective that Max Homa has, where

0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Max home is so much more relatable to an everyday

0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:16.320
<v Speaker 1>guy because he's gone through a lot of shit.

0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Yep. Yeah. And and I mean I think from a

0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:23.479
<v Speaker 2>marketing standpoint, people think of golf as an elitist sport,

0:27:24.040 --> 0:27:27.800
<v Speaker 2>whereas there's, especially in the professional game, such a large

0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:32.520
<v Speaker 2>majority of players that are definitely not I mean, I

0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:34.560
<v Speaker 2>had a guy staying with me in a pony room,

0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:39.480
<v Speaker 2>so that is like, it's not an elitist sport. It's

0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:42.119
<v Speaker 2>guys who are ultra talented, who've come from places like

0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:46.399
<v Speaker 2>Ball State or like South Florida, you know, a small

0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:49.000
<v Speaker 2>universities who are just trying to make a living. And

0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:53.399
<v Speaker 2>I think it makes him much more relatable on a

0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:57.280
<v Speaker 2>human level and helps the game. Not that you shouldn't

0:27:57.320 --> 0:28:00.320
<v Speaker 2>market Tiger Woods and all those guys. Obviously he could,

0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:03.800
<v Speaker 2>but there's another large element of the game that's not

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:04.399
<v Speaker 2>being covered.

0:28:04.680 --> 0:28:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean that I was unbelievably like astonished at Ben

0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Silverman's story. And I didn't know anything about Ben Silverman

0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:14.639
<v Speaker 1>and I do a little research. You didn't start playing

0:28:14.760 --> 0:28:16.639
<v Speaker 1>golf till he was seventeen.

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean he shot one hundred cooking school.

0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but golf at a cooking university.

0:28:21.520 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. He shot one hundred and eighteen as a junior

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:27.160
<v Speaker 2>or senior in high school at a at a junior event.

0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:31.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like he's he's a long of long shots.

0:28:32.200 --> 0:28:34.560
<v Speaker 1>He said right after each told it, right, you start

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:37.200
<v Speaker 1>playing golf, I'm gonna play professional golf, yeah, like you

0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:38.520
<v Speaker 1>used to start playing at sixteen.

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean how many people must have told the

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:43.520
<v Speaker 2>guy he's crazy? Yeah? Yeah, Because I mean he's the

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:46.520
<v Speaker 2>guy who I've run into is like I'm going to

0:28:46.560 --> 0:28:48.479
<v Speaker 2>play pro golf and like, oh no, you're not.

0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:52.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And that's like so, like, you know, the ability

0:28:52.360 --> 0:28:52.760
<v Speaker 3>with golf.

0:28:52.800 --> 0:28:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the unique things is like you see,

0:28:54.600 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 1>like Zach Johnson played golf at Drake Yep.

0:28:57.760 --> 0:28:58.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, Adam.

0:28:58.440 --> 0:29:00.400
<v Speaker 3>Spenson played Division two golf.

0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Ben Silverman played at a cooking school. Yeah, before he

0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:08.520
<v Speaker 1>went transferred to Florida Atlantic. It's like golf. One of

0:29:08.600 --> 0:29:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the things about golf is like a lot of times

0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the campus guy misses and you get these obscure guys

0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:16.880
<v Speaker 1>that like are better stories in a way because they

0:29:16.920 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 1>came from nowhere.

0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, I mean they're I'm always amazed. To your

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:24.120
<v Speaker 2>point is, I'm always amazed every time I look up

0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:28.719
<v Speaker 2>a player and they're like Barry University or you know.

0:29:29.880 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean I caddied for I talked to two guys

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:37.720
<v Speaker 2>who played at a Steven M and Zach I can't

0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:42.280
<v Speaker 2>remember Zach's name, but they played at at a junior

0:29:42.280 --> 0:29:45.080
<v Speaker 2>college together. No, it's a Indian Hills is a very

0:29:45.120 --> 0:29:47.720
<v Speaker 2>good community college. But the fact that they had to

0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 2>go to a community college in order to go on

0:29:50.360 --> 0:29:54.120
<v Speaker 2>to a four year school, like that's pretty crazy. I

0:29:54.160 --> 0:29:58.480
<v Speaker 2>mean they are, like there's so much depth of talent

0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:02.240
<v Speaker 2>out there that didn't come from the Alabama's, Florida's those

0:30:02.320 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of things. I mean, Joe Gunnerman walked on at

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Tones and State. I mean, it's it's not a golf school,

0:30:08.880 --> 0:30:11.560
<v Speaker 2>it's a it's just a school to play that happens

0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:12.160
<v Speaker 2>to have golf.

0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so, uh, what's Uh, we'll get you out of

0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:19.320
<v Speaker 1>here with a couple of quick errors. Who's who's your

0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 1>pick for for low low qualifier? You know, non tour

0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:28.840
<v Speaker 1>ron major tour player, uh in in the US Open.

0:30:29.040 --> 0:30:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's gonna be two guys I think.

0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:35.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean Colin Terran and Chip McDaniel. I mean Chip

0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:39.200
<v Speaker 2>has played really really well this year. Uh, he just

0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:42.520
<v Speaker 2>needs an opportunity, a weekly opportunity to play. But I

0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:45.480
<v Speaker 2>mean he's been in the mix at every Monday. If

0:30:45.520 --> 0:30:48.360
<v Speaker 2>he didn't get through, he played well in Puerto Rico

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:53.560
<v Speaker 2>top five, made the cut at the Valero. I mean

0:30:53.760 --> 0:30:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Andy has a ton to play for. A made cut

0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:59.959
<v Speaker 2>means you know, he has a place to play regardless

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:03.120
<v Speaker 2>next year. So and if he plays really well, you'll

0:31:03.120 --> 0:31:07.400
<v Speaker 2>have temporary membership. So I'll go with him or column tern.

0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I think Column you know, I had a had a

0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:13.160
<v Speaker 2>great year last year, having a solid WEB season. Uh.

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:14.720
<v Speaker 3>Nick Hardy could be.

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 2>Nick Hardy very good too.

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:18.920
<v Speaker 3>He's gonna be one of the best players without status.

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, very very true. And he's played well in Mondays

0:31:22.280 --> 0:31:23.160
<v Speaker 2>and had some bad luck.

0:31:23.320 --> 0:31:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, third third US opens, Yeah, and he made a

0:31:27.640 --> 0:31:29.240
<v Speaker 1>cut he made the cutout chambers.

0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so yeah, he's lost I think twice in Mondays

0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:35.600
<v Speaker 2>for sure, that I know. Yeah, playoffs like next day

0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:42.240
<v Speaker 2>playoffs one of them. Yes, that's rough, that's right, Yeah exactly.

0:31:43.200 --> 0:31:47.760
<v Speaker 1>And then, uh, what's the what's what's the what's the

0:31:47.760 --> 0:31:50.320
<v Speaker 1>next big thing to look at? I look for from

0:31:50.360 --> 0:31:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the from the Monday Ques perspective.

0:31:54.240 --> 0:31:56.840

<v Speaker 2>And in hindsight, in hindsight, head I'd known this would

0:32:39.720 --> 0:32:42.760
<v Speaker 2>be this, I would have taken more time to come

0:32:42.840 --> 0:32:43.680
<v Speaker 2>up with a better handle.

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:47.680
