There's 0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:06.240 a lot of a lot of setup work that we 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:08.200 have to do in order to make a tournament work. 0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.120 So I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:14.000 we do a shotgun start here And. 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:22.000 Alright, alright, alright, did no man? 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:25.560 Darn your. 0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.440 Greetings and welcome to a Friday edition of The Shotguns Start. 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:47.479 It is April third, Andy, how are we doing, bred Dan? 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:52.600 I'm doing fantastic. I gotta say I I feel like 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:57.160 I missed the mark. I've remedied this situation. You know, 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:03.440 important people in my life. I put calendar reminders for birthdays. 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:04.920 But I don't always do this. 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.200 There's like four people in my life that I have 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:11.800 been set up for that like I wouldn't otherwise. Remember, Okay, 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:17.200 the beautiful boy the silver Slovak turns fifty. 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.120 You don't have a calendar reminder for that, dude. 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:22.280 I've now said it. 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.440 Oh, I'm. 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:26.760 The beautiful boy. 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:33.520 You got Wes silver Slovak TV. I did you know? 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.000 I did help, but I couldn't help. But notice we're 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.959 joined by Kevin van Volkomberg. Jump in there, Kevin. We're 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.120 privileged to have you here. We're gonna be doing a 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:44.760 jumbo flashback, Brendon. 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.320 I'm playing the role of foreign invader here in this podcast. 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.120 All the Americans are gonna have to crumple in my wake. 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.480 We're gonna do a big flashback on a sort of 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.720 lesser known Lesser talked about Masters nineteen eighty six on 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.400 its fortieth anniversary. But you're breaking up the BFB the 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:07.080 Sabo picture, Andy was reminding me the other day. You're 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.640 talking to Bernhard Lanner, I believe is how he pronounced 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:16.520 the G in there on your Friday podcast, and Sabatini's 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.160 in the background. I'm just like wondering this very serious 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.320 German fella, Like who am I talking to? And why 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:22.880 is Sabo? 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:23.240 Like? 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.200 What is he a bring Sabatini fan? Like, of course 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.760 he probably hasn't been up on the whole thing. That 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.000 was all I could think about in some of the clips, 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.720 is what was Bernhard thinking as you were asking him 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.560 questions and Sabbo was looking over his shoulder. I mean, 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:37.160 I don't mean. 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.040 To butt in here, but this is this is he's 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.560 got to be scouting this competition. He's out there now. 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.560 I think that I think Bernie is very aware. 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.680 That today Rory has come to this Chips Tour, He's 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.519 already signed up for the PGA, uh Senior PGA as 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:56.840 it were very exciting development here uh less exciting real quick, 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.920 before we get this flashback, Tiger officially out of the 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.400 Ryder Cup. Captaincy has told the PGA he's not like 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.639 I think, you know, September twenty twenty seven is a 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.920 long way away, right, So, like, I guess that is newsworthy. 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.600 Did we expect to play the Masters next week? 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:12.720 No? 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.560 Do we expect you know, the short term stuff? No, 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:17.760 but it's newsworthy in a way. I guess there was 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.120 a deadline. So that opens the gates for who knows. 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.799 Justin Leonard was on Golf Channel Stadium's case only because 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.880 he was prompted to Stu sink Gott to bring Larry 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.040 Nelson maybe back talking about four invaders, you know, intruders 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:34.080 lead the troops into Ireland. Who knows there's a lot 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:38.120 of caps. So Tiger officially declining twenty twenty seven. Kind 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.200 of a sad deal. Tiger and Phil I don't know 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.520 if they would have been good captains. They quite frankly 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.000 could have been disastrous captains. I don't know their deference 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.160 that they would be good as a little misplaced. We 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:49.840 don't know, like Paul McGinley wasn't one of the greatest 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.880 all time good captain. But it's just sad. We're gonna 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.760 get like a pretty big era of Ryder Cup, a 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.800 swath of Ryder Cups with no Tiger of Philip captaincy 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.080 maybe one day, you know, maybe twenty nine. Who knows 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.840 when that'll happen. So he's out for that. The police 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:10.000 videos are out, I like, I I'm not gonna click. 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.000 I don't need to watch it. He's had so many 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.200 of these sad moments. I'm not saying that makes me 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.640 a Pollyanna, or I don't think it exists, or I 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.400 think like we're being mean, or it shouldn't be out there. 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.479 Totally fine, I personally is like one of those, Like 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.240 you know, I'm not gonna watch a bad injury video. 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.920 I'm not gonna watch some like young television reporter absolutely 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.480 bomb some stand up report from a baseball field. I 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.360 just don't. I'm not gonna get anything out of it. 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.800 So see some of the pictures. Doesn't look good? Does 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:42.279 it look pretty? Probably another round of embarrassing videos and 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.960 photos for Tiger, but that is out there. I don't 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.760 know if there's any grand takeaway. He's going away to treatment. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.800 It sounds like out of the country for privacy current concerns. 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:56.080 That's the Tiger update. And thank god, you know he's 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.159 not gonna play next week, you know, with each drip 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:02.240 of video police report, it just would have been a 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.680 total circus, not that it was within the realm. 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:09.400 Yeah, I think this is uh, this is the best 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:14.040 thing for for himself, obviously, and I'm very happy that 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.559 he's he's he's doing this for himself and and going 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.400 on a lighter note, you know, and I don't want 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:22.400 to breeze past this. 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.000 I don't know if you guys have it more that 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:24.880 you want to unpack. 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:29.159 Here on a lighter note, did you guys see the 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:32.880 news that Memorial Parks adding a pod that next time 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:37.040 so that so that women who hate this tradition can 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:41.080 jump into the pond. Following the win at the former 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:46.080 Dinah Shore that they've co opted the uh this celebration 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.839 despite changing the name, moving locales. 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:54.640 Now they're building a pond to uphold this tradition. 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:57.640 A the golf course. 0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.640 Let's say you're an old guy and you play regular 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.760 like Dnesday morning game a memorial park. You don't carry 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.480 the ball that far anymore, but this is your course. 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.000 This is like you love this, and now you got 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.200 to deal with a fucking pond an eighteen that your 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.600 ball is gonna go into every other time. And it's 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:19.480 just like you're absolutely enraged over the fact that this pond, 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.000 this ridiculous thing just to have one tournament year where 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:24.960 they're going to jump in the pond for thirty seconds, 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:26.760 you have to have a pond in front of your 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:27.359 damn course. 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.760 It's it's farcical. Let's just like be honest with ourselves 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.440 and like it's a joke. If that is your signal, 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:38.360 your signature identifying characteristic of your major, that you jump 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.200 in the water, a that like diminishes the golf in 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.920 and of itself, like or you just shouldn't have moved. 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.200 You shouldn't have moved from where the pond was already 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.280 in a pool. It was a pool. Let's let's be 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.799 real here. They could just put an above ground pool 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.599 sixty yards back into the right behind the behind the green. 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.719 But this appears to be well, the rendering is grotesque. 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.640 It is grotesque, looks terrible, It is terrible. It's a 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:06.680 fundamental altering of the hole. Are they bringing in Tom Doak, 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.920 the recent architect? Is he have to do like in theory? 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.720 Couldn't they get Joe Schmoe excavator from down the street 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.920 in Houston? Like this isn't presuming Tom Doak designed the hole. 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:17.520 He wanted to design it, not in a way that 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.960 you know. I bet these pond jumping traditions and hijinks 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.000 that's why he built the hole, not not for that, 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:25.280 get whoever to do it. 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.000 I was talking to Tom. 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:33.400 He he he's excited that he gets to rework the 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.120 eighteenth Green because it wasn't his favorite green out there. 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.080 Okay, it's excited about the new water feature. I don't 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.080 want to put him on the record. Maybe we won't 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.440 say who could say he's excited about the green. 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:50.160 We'll leave it at what great ponds have you been 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:50.840 inspired by. 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:51.400 In the past. 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:58.040 I was pushing him Devlin's billibon. 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.440 That's what I mean. That's essentially what they're trying to 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.960 do here. Let's just create something for them to jump in. 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.480 Don't dis count this social media cloud that you get 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.720 every year for that one clip of a lady jumping 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:10.440 into the water. 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:11.520 That's basically it. 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.920 That's it. I mean, just leave it where it was 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.680 then in Mission Hills. You know, God, what a farce, 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:22.800 what a complete farce. And it's im MUNI nonetheless, that's it. 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.440 I also had Jonathan k follow up from his corn 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.200 Ferry to our start. We know someone who played with 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.720 him and made him aware of the podcast. I won't 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.160 go into too many details, just apparently he did the 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.520 start for insurance reasons. So there you go. He got 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.360 a KFC start at fifty five for insurance reasons. That's 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.840 what we want on this competitive league sounds I just 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.080 told you he was angry but a nice guy, which 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.760 I guess can be co exist. All right, that's our 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.880 follow up. Let's get to a special to jump. 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.280 In before we get Before we get there, you know, 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:56.360 what I've realized this week is that there's one person. 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.800 You know, Saturday's a big, big night of college basketball, 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.800 and I think there's a person on this podcast that 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.040 actually wants Illinois to win more than I do. 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:12.319 Who's that PJJ? Because of his anti early stuff, PJ. 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.400 I'm trying to get PJ some Illinois gear. 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.200 I am more of the game. I am desperate. I 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:23.280 am I need. I need the Balkans to do one job. 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:28.080 Just do your job. Finish, finish the story. It's just 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.520 I like that you're giving me an opportunity to just 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.080 put positive energy out there. It's gonna be a great 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.199 eat week next week. We need to start it off 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.880 on the right foot. Try to stay positive the Balkans. Please, 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:39.720 I'm begging you. 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.760 I might be getting to August a little later if 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:47.120 if the if the Balkans pull it off Falcons, I 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.880 might be changing my flight to Indianapolis instead of Atlanta 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:51.880 as well. 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.800 I Pj's not a bit with PJ. I brought it up, 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.160 not in a podcast setting, in an internal call that 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.960 like I would just been talking to someone from and 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.520 he like was the most wound up i've seen him, Like, Oh, 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:07.000 he was shouting and angry. The boy does not like 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.000 Yukon needs them to be stopped. 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:15.360 Someone must stop them. Hopefully it could be the. 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:19.920 Line I it's foreign intruders. The foreigners is what learned here. 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.320 They'd be referred to the Balkans and the nineteen eighty 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.280 six Masters broadcast good luck for you. 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:27.439 Should I get my wine out for this segment. 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:28.720 No, no whine. 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:30.400 That's frustrating. 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:33.600 I was just popping him. I mean, he puts this 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:35.959 fish bowl to his face in the middle of recording. 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:37.839 I feel like. 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.840 I've recorded with Joseph before. We're like out of nowhere. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:46.080 The wine comes out, but Joseph he's the one drinking it. Yeah, 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.720 like I I remember, I think you were gone and 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.960 I was.

So with Flashback Big, it's 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:36.800 not your everyday flashback. It's a jumbo somewhere between spotlight flashback. 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:40.400 We're going to nineteen eighty six, the fortieth anniversary this 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.679 year of the Greatest Masters, one of the greatest Masters, 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.160 certainly of a piece with what we watched last year. 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:52.640 Maybe not in similar storylines, but in terms of up 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:57.400 and down roller coaster, all time, all time Masters, eighty 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.360 six would be at the very top. Twenty five, you know, 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.920 coming in there now and joining the battle with time 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.240 will marinate and see where it slots. 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.160 I have a hard time, you know, I want to 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.760 watching this one and twenty five incredible Masters, and it's 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.079 kind of more of a solo character, but to kind 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.200 of set the table here. I just wanted to, you know, 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.280 talk about a little bit about like some of the 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:27.880 characters involved with this one and their master's records. 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:27.480 Like. 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.760 I don't know if we'll ever and part of this 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.000 might be like competitive, I don't know if we'll ever 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:38.880 see a roster of people with a chance to win 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:42.800 on Sunday that have had such success at Augusta National 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.920 as this one eighty six. Everybody knows who won. Jack 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:51.720 Nicholas six wins, fifteen top fives and Augusta in his 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:56.960 career fifteen. I mean, like the six wins is crazy. 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:58.440 Fifteen top fives. 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.480 I I was looking up most runner ups because Kite 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:03.600 it was a factor. Norman was a factor but never 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.800 won it. But Jack like blows him away with the 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.360 runner ups, like he's way down, like you know, but 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:11.560 also as the six they have zeroint of top. 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:16.640 Also in the mix, Tom Watson, Jack's like foremost rival 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:20.400 in the decade before h So you got these two 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:25.000 kind of grizzled little vets. Two wins, nine top fives. 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.880 You've got seven O. Seve looked like he was gonna 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.880 win for for a while. We'll get into it. Two wins, 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:38.440 seven top fives. You got Greg Norman obviously eight top fives, 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:42.320 eight top five finishes for Greg Norman, tom Kite nine 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.920 top five finishes, like kind of like the best player 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.600 at the Masters that nobody ever references as the best 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.160 player of the Masters that never won. 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.320 And at one point in the broadcast they say his 0:15:55.440 --> 0:16:00.000 record is second to none at Augusta and they're like, well, besides, 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.400 it's the guys who've won. Like, literally, he would love 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.600 it for that green jacket. His consistency almost demands it 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:08.880 before he has finished, is what they said of tom Kite. 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:09.760 Second to none. 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:11.560 I think it would take issue that of I was 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.240 Tom Weiskoff too, who was like really freaking good at 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.760 the Masters, like had a couple solo second finishes, took. 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:21.440 Five runner ups, four or five runners on the broadcast. 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:25.080 Bernie Longer two wins, three top fives. Also in the mix, 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:30.040 you know, just a crazy, crazy cast of characters. And 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.720 there are some other characters of it, but just those 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:37.040 names and those records. I don't think we'll ever see 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:38.040 anything like it again. 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:44.280 So Jack is, in current form standards, the worst player 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.920 in the mix there and not much expected of him. 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:50.840 There was ironically enough the first ever Sony Ranking world 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.280 ranking came out this week going into this tournament. Now, 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:56.840 of course there have been refinements, but this is what 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:58.800 they had that week and what they came up with. 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.480 Number one was Hard Lotter, who's in the second the 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.239 last group, second to last group, I believe Sevy who 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:06.800 looks to be the favorite for most of the back night. 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.280 Sandy Lyle, who's playing with Jack in the fourth to 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.960 last group. I believe it is Tom Watson, who you mentioned, 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:13.359 is in the mix. So that's the top four in 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:15.679 the world, all within the last three to four groups. 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:19.560 Top four, you skip Omira, who's fifth. Not Norman is sixth. 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:22.280 Have a good, good week. 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.879 The only time it flashed was was for like a 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:27.920 split second his pairing what they shot. 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:32.119 Norman is sixth. Knakajima seventh in the world rankings. Both 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:36.000 are heavily involved in contention this Sunday. Hal Sutton don't 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:38.800 see him on this broadcast, Corey Paven you see him 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.040 for better or worse on this broadcast. That's ninth. Calvin 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.639 Pete tenth in the world. He comes in on the 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.840 broadcast at a top ten fIF So that's the top 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.560 ten right there. I think there were only two names 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.359 that I didn't mention among you know, last four or 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:54.840 five groups in appearing on the broadcast. Everybody is in 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.320 the mix. And then you add in the greatest champion 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.720 of them all with the greatest charge, one of the 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:03.359 great back nine charges. So yeah, a great Masters record, 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.480 a great top of the world rankings record. We're gonna 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.520 go pretty by new tier in detail, but what I'll 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:12.160 set up a few things. Watch this on YouTube. It's 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:14.800 three hours long on YouTube. You can jump around as 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.119 you see fit. It's the seventh most viewed video on 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:22.360 the master's YouTube account, which is very Tiger heavy. It's 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:26.840 Tiger twenty nineteen ninety seven oh one, a Bryson hole 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:31.239 in one rombine skip it to an ace like some 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:34.680 twenty nineteen stuff, and then nineteen eighty six, So that 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.119 those are the views. It's it's up there, non Tiger, 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:39.000 it's it's basically the most watched. 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:42.480 Without looking it up, could you guys guess how much 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:45.600 the winner takes home for winning this Masters. 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:46.880 I know it because I looked it up. 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.119 One hundred and eighty thousand dollars lower. 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.280 One hundred and forty four thousand dollars which is the 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.120 equivalent of finishing nineteenth in Vlero. 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:58.600 This week, the total purse was eight hundred and five 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:03.879 thousand total purse, which is you know what you know 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:07.000 Lucas Glover makes for wiping his ass nowadays. It's crazy. 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:12.520 It's amazing. Eight hundred five thousand dollars amazing. Inflation is 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:13.360 is wonderful thing. 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:17.159 Sorry, Lucas Clover, real quick, Brennan. 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:21.640 Yeah, these golfers are forty six years old this year. 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:30.160 Sergio Garcia, Graham McDowell, Bran Snedecker, Adam Scott is forty five. 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.879 So with turning forty six this year and Lucas Glover, 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:37.160 so one of those guys could give us storytale story 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:40.000 fairytale ending this year and win the Masters. 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:42.160 Just be Jack Reducts all over again. 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.520 Rosie's forty five, I would say he's very legit. You 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.880 gotta be turning forty six this year, probably not before now, 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.919 in April whatever, but forty five feels like he feels 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:55.640 like the one who could do it. Just incredible. You've 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:57.960 laid out the characters and somehow they're all in the mix, 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:02.520 good the bad to the end. The very last putt 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.719 I did not realize, Greg Norman, honestly, I was three 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:07.920 years old when this happened. Andy, I don't know if 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:09.520 you were born. If you were, you were like a 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.000 week old. Maybe I wasn't. I wasn't born yet. I 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:16.760 wasn't about to be born, Okay, so we I Obviously, 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:20.880 for a certain generation, it's honestly been reduced to yes, sir, 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:24.960 and the putter rais like that is. I'm sure twenty 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:26.919 five for a generation will be Rory falling to his 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:30.240 knees and into like, you know, the Rose putt that 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:33.440 missed the edge in the playoff. We won't think about. 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:35.800 We barely see it anymore now a year later. But 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:39.119 but for eighty six, it's been reduced to yes, sir, 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:42.040 and the birdie at seventeen, which you know was a 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.320 great birdie, but I'm not sure the best one. Maybe 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:48.800 not the highlight of Jack's back nine, so much action. 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:51.960 I thought, what and this was a throwaway line from 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:56.399 Ken van Turia's Norman was scuffling about eighteen. They're like 0:20:56.920 --> 0:21:00.639 these broadcasters who are pretty stoic and deadpan, are trying 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:05.920 to balance that, right, the master's tone and what is happening? 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.320 And he throws it away. He goes, it's it's just 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:13.640 everything seems to happen here. Is what Venturi said about 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:18.280 how the stuff you couldn't write up in like if 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:21.040 you were trying to pretend and script the most traumatic 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:25.320 and ridiculous and amazing and breathtaking Majors just seems to happen. 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:28.760 And he was he was talking about Seve's horrible shot 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:32.679 into fifteen and Jack's charge. He goes, it's just just 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.840 everything seems to happen here. And I thought that summed 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:37.320 it up so well. It was in the middle of 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:39.639 a monologue and he was he didn't know how to 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.840 put it, and I thought that perfectly encapsulated this eighty 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:46.639 six Masters, which we'll get into. He said, he's been 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:49.240 coming here since fifty four. You can't remember a golf 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:52.200 tournament like this. Ever, some are all said the same thing. 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:55.119 Pat Summer on the eighteenth tower said the same thing. 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:58.159 I've been here for nineteen years. So let's get to 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:00.560 Jack and we'll do some big themes here at the top. 0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:03.040 By eighty six, he said, I was not the player 0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:05.920 I was fifteen years earlier. I've always thought the Masters 0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:08.000 was a young man's tournament because the speed of the greens, 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:10.239 the firmness of the course, the demands it puts on 0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:12.760 your nerves. There's so many fine little shots you have 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:15.200 to play there. Your game isn't right going in Augusta. 0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:17.399 It's sure as heck isn't the place to find it. 0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:20.399 He says similarly in Butler Cabinets getting his jacket, He's like, 0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:23.359 look Porthard and the speed you keep these greens. This 0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:25.440 is a young man's tournament. Now, I feel like that's 0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:28.960 sort of that's not the narrative here in twenty twenty. 0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:32.879 In the twenty twenties, right, it's more there's like you 0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:35.760 have to have experience. You know, Freddy Couples is gonna 0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:38.040 shoot his sixty seven, and then you know Phil can 0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:40.439 still contend or Rose can, Like I don't know if 0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:44.000 that's still the narrative, but it was for Jack. This 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.720 was his twenty eighth Masters would have been Tiger's twenty 0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:51.720 seven this year he's obviously not playing, So twenty eight 0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:56.320 twenty three years between wins from sixty three to eighty 0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:59.480 six the longest ever probably gonna hold up. I would 0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:02.359 just guess twenty three years between Majors or Masters is 0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:06.879 probably gonna hold up. The final nine holes remain the 0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:10.640 record for the lowest nine final nine of the tournament. 0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:14.080 You know, to seventy second hole. It's tied with Gary 0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:17.720 Player in seventy eight for thirty and Inward thirty on 0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:21.879 Sunday with a bogie on twelve. Pretty good, pretty good stretch. 0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:27.400 I also found it interesting there's only two guys where 0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:32.520 progressive scores have gotten better to win from Thursday through Sunday. 0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:35.280 He went seventy four, seventy one, sixty nine, sixty five, 0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:40.280 just all throughout. Marcomira is the only other one. Ironically enough, 0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:45.920 Jack also holds the record for progressive scores better going 0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:49.320 or worse, I should say worse. So he's done progressive 0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:52.480 scores worse, gone wire to wire, getting worse every day, 0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:55.840 and also done progressive scores better every day to win 0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:58.320 it with only our omera. It had been two years 0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:01.640 since his last tour win, and he's forty six, as 0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:05.480 you as you noted, previous winner of that of the 0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:08.359 oldest age all This previous winner was forty two Gary Player. 0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:12.400 Anything Jack, high level you want to get into here. 0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:14.359 We had heard so much about this that story is 0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:18.040 pretty well told. You've read in the papers that you know, 0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:20.760 he's not really a golfer anymore. He couldn't do it. 0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:23.320 That was pretty much the narrative coming in. 0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:25.840 Yeah. 0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:27.280 One thing that I always just think about is like 0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:29.200 he leudes us to this. The very end of the 0:24:29.200 --> 0:24:30.840 thing was like, you know, my interests are kind of 0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:33.200 more in business now, and I'm I'm going to show 0:24:33.200 --> 0:24:35.960 you his business like stuff was kind of a mess. 0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:37.480 Like he he. 0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:41.600 Had made some bad investments, Like he was always kind 0:24:41.600 --> 0:24:45.960 of a little bit jealous of Arnie's like golden touch 0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:49.280 with business stuff and tried to keep like investing in 0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:52.480 various things. And that kind of has continued, like all 0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:56.679 throughout the next forty years of him making some not 0:24:56.840 --> 0:24:59.639 great investments or questionable business decisions. And it just so 0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:02.920 like there was a lot of weight to that of like, 0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:05.600 oh Jack, like you know, it needs to play well again, 0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:08.359 because like his he's kind of blown through some of 0:25:08.400 --> 0:25:11.320 his money and he's not quite figuring this shit out 0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:12.880 the way that Arnie always did. 0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:17.919 Yeah, he he in the in Butler Cabiny lids to like, 0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:20.439 I like doing this off the course stuff. You know, 0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:22.399 golf hasn't been my own focus. I like it but 0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:26.000 it seems like it was a distraction because of bad 0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:28.640 business and take you know, the business is going poorly. 0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:30.640 It was sort of the read between the lines, there 0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:32.080 go ahead. 0:25:32.480 --> 0:25:34.879 I think something I took away and. 0:25:36.760 --> 0:25:39.280 You know, big picture, I'm sure we'll talk about the telecast, 0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:42.280 but like the you know, you don't see every shot, 0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:44.000 but like one of the things I took away is 0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:49.800 like this is like the greatest back nine ever at Augusta. 0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:54.080 But from a sense, like you know, this is the 0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:57.480 thing that makes Augusta so cool. It's like he didn't 0:25:57.560 --> 0:26:02.879 do anything extraordinary and away, like he kind of just 0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:05.760 he took what, you know, the shot on sixteen to 0:26:05.840 --> 0:26:09.280 me was like the shot that was the best shot, 0:26:09.320 --> 0:26:11.840 but in terms of like he kind of just took 0:26:11.880 --> 0:26:13.280 what the golf course gave him. 0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:14.040 He made some. 0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:17.360 Putts, made some putts, rolled them in, but. 0:26:17.560 --> 0:26:21.320 Like the this is that that's the beauty of Augusta 0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:25.679 is like this score is out there. It's really hard 0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:33.359 to tactically avoid the mistakes at Augusta. But if you 0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:37.080 watched this round, you're kind of like I kind of 0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:40.679 was like, you know, I watched this years ago, but 0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:44.840 I had forgotten really like what propelled this round, and 0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:47.280 I kept watching being like wait, like when's he gonna 0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:47.920 make it move? 0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:49.640 When's he gonna make this move? 0:26:49.680 --> 0:26:53.720 And then it's just like, oh, like he's there because 0:26:53.760 --> 0:26:56.920 like you know, he doesn't appear on the first page 0:26:56.920 --> 0:27:01.480 of the leader board forever. But it kind of like 0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:04.560 cemented home to me the idea of like you don't 0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:07.720 have to be perfect out there, like it is just 0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:12.280 sitting out there for you if you can, just if 0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:15.200 your putter gets hot, or if you hit some really 0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:20.720 great shots. And what's more that you know, the big 0:27:20.760 --> 0:27:24.800 thing the more, the thing that kind of prohibits you 0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:30.640 is yourself destructing, and we saw a lot of that too. 0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:35.360 I think, like you talk about that, like he rolled 0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:38.399 into big putts. I think there was no like the 0:27:38.440 --> 0:27:41.119 best birdie watching this, I think was Norman at seventeen, 0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:43.280 which also got a yes, sir, I mean it. He 0:27:43.440 --> 0:27:46.119 did the andy ball, hit it onto the seventh green 0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:50.480 and like awful tug and somehow punched it through up 0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:51.960 onto the front of the green and made a birdie 0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:54.359 got his own big yes sir. I think that's the 0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:57.040 best birdie of this entire watch, or at least the 0:27:57.320 --> 0:27:59.840 last hour and a half. It felt like it the 0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:01.400 most miraculous birdie. 0:28:01.680 --> 0:28:07.600 I wrote this down, like the shot you know, this 0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:09.480 is the thing is like it gets you said this 0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:12.560 at the top, winds get reduced to like one moment, 0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:15.720 like the eighty six Masters that reduced to the punt 0:28:15.800 --> 0:28:19.399 on seventeen. Really, sometimes they back up to the shot 0:28:19.440 --> 0:28:23.440 into seventeen, and if you don't win, it just gets 0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:30.200 lost to history. Sure, Norman seventeenth whole insanity. Shot he 0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:33.879 hit into the green was so good. It's like one 0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:35.600 of the best shots I've ever seen in my life. 0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:36.719 Well you'll see it. 0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:38.600 You'll see a little write up that Joseph and I did. 0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:42.320 We're coming out next week for best Shots and Master's History. 0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:43.680 But totally agree. 0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:46.880 I will say, you know, we said, like the shot 0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:49.800 in sixteen, shot in seventeen. Let's just be clear, though 0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:53.400 we don't have any footage of the shot into nine, 0:28:54.000 --> 0:28:57.160 the shot into ten, or the shot into eleven. Like 0:28:57.200 --> 0:28:59.080 the fact that he made a birdie on eleven is 0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:02.000 kind of bonker and we don't know, it doesn't exist. 0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:04.680 Like he's in the tournament at this point, like he's 0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:06.960 doing well enough to where they're paying attention to him. 0:29:07.320 --> 0:29:10.640 But Cebia still at this point is kind of figuring 0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:13.800 out how to cover a tournament with five six different 0:29:13.800 --> 0:29:14.520 people in here. 0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:17.840 If this were broadcast today like this, I. 0:29:17.800 --> 0:29:21.000 Think people would lose their mind because of all that 0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:23.320 we don't get to see that we just sort of 0:29:23.360 --> 0:29:26.200 take for granted. I mean some of the literally like 0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:28.800 you know big Like I'll just say this now, like 0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:32.840 there is no footage of Tom Kite and Sebby by Steros. 0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:34.680 On top chipping in on top. 0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:36.840 Of each other on eight. It just doesn't exist. 0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:40.600 They're like, we just heard word the top Titan semi 0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:44.760 five snus both eagles eight's like Sebby. 0:29:44.560 --> 0:29:47.080 Takes the lead in the Masters with a chip in 0:29:47.200 --> 0:29:50.080 and we don't have footage of it that ibout it 0:29:50.120 --> 0:29:50.880 has changed. 0:29:51.320 --> 0:29:54.120 My favorite thing is that twenty twenty two to fifteen 0:29:54.160 --> 0:29:57.400 of this video, Sebby appears on a leaderboard saying he's 0:29:57.400 --> 0:30:00.640 five under at twenty four forty four that's two minutes. 0:30:00.840 --> 0:30:03.040 It says he's leading it eight under. He went from 0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:06.160 five to eight in two minutes on the YouTube video. 0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:10.640 And I think McCord, I think it's McCord that had 0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:14.080 that eighth is am I Ron there it sounds like him, 0:30:14.080 --> 0:30:16.040 he said with the best. Not a lots happened here. 0:30:16.480 --> 0:30:19.040 Sevy hold the wedge from twenty five yards and Kite 0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:22.560 hold one from one hundred yards. Not much going on here, 0:30:22.600 --> 0:30:25.640 that's all. And nobody saw it. First time we see 0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:28.840 Jack is at the ninth Green, just putting without commentary. 0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:32.200 Musburg goes, let's go to ninth Green. Jack rolls in 0:30:32.240 --> 0:30:34.040 a putt, and no one says anything, and then they 0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:36.240 just go to like Ben Wright talking about someone hitting 0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:38.520 at Norman hitting on seven. Nobody says that that's the 0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:41.440 first time you ever see Jack is just that putting it, 0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:44.160 rolling in a putt at nine. First actual t shot 0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:47.760 is twelve. His first approach shot is thirteen, which, by 0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:50.440 the way, is the first time you ever see thirteen. 0:30:50.600 --> 0:30:53.520 For the whole day, it's Jack hitting out thirteen. Ben 0:30:53.560 --> 0:30:55.600 Torre's like, all right, let's go to thirteen. This is 0:30:55.640 --> 0:30:57.480 the first time you've seen this. Today. It's like the 0:30:57.480 --> 0:31:00.800 greatest par five in the world. It's incredible, different, different world. 0:31:01.120 --> 0:31:02.840 This is not a critique of what they were doing 0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:05.120 forty years ago. It's years ago. 0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:06.479 While we're here. 0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:10.880 I have to say there are some things that would 0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:15.240 drive the modern golf viewer insane. But there are also 0:31:15.360 --> 0:31:18.560 some facets to this telecast that I loved, and I'm like, 0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:21.520 how did I knew it? Like they're like, you watched 0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:24.440 this thing, and you in a way, like my general 0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:29.360 takeaway is like, has have golf telecasts gotten worse? 0:31:32.000 --> 0:31:35.959 I think that you being overly romantic about this broadcast 0:31:36.000 --> 0:31:38.360 and I understand what was better and what appealed to 0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:43.760 you as being better than current, But it was probably 0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:46.880 great for its time. People lose their mind if this 0:31:46.960 --> 0:31:48.480 is what they dropped in or left today. 0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:52.040 I think, like the general things, there was more more 0:31:52.240 --> 0:31:56.920 a little bit more storytelling than the modern telecast. 0:31:57.480 --> 0:32:01.840 There was more time given to actions, which. 0:32:02.120 --> 0:32:04.400 You know, I don't know if we want to get 0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:07.360 to like my favorite moment of the telecast of the 0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:10.200 whole thing. But one of the things that I loved 0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:14.440 was the intro, the table setting of each hole, the 0:32:14.480 --> 0:32:17.680 back line where they go to the guy. You know, 0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:20.960 they run through everybody on their hole because at that 0:32:21.080 --> 0:32:24.400 time they had a different person for every single hole on. 0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:29.240 The back line. The details there, Bob Murphy, Yeah you 0:32:29.280 --> 0:32:32.640 want the names or not? Yeah, Bob Murphy, it's great. 0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:34.920 This is what they used to do so, but they 0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:37.400 go through, and they go through, this is where the 0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:40.480 whole location is. Yeah, this is how the holes played 0:32:40.520 --> 0:32:44.920 this week, you know, scoring average like and this is 0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:46.040 what to expect today. 0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:49.600 And it introduces each of these voices if you go 0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:50.520 through the voices. 0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:54.920 But it was such a wonderful way to to interject 0:32:54.920 --> 0:32:58.760 the course into and give viewers like a hey, this 0:32:58.840 --> 0:32:59.800 is what's coming up. 0:33:00.560 --> 0:33:02.600 And they did it in like three minutes time. 0:33:03.600 --> 0:33:07.640 Yeah. They opened Bob Murphy on ten, Steve Melnick, you know, 0:33:07.680 --> 0:33:11.040 the r en Amateur on ten, eleven and twelve, Ken 0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:14.360 Ventury as we mentioned on thirteen, four hundred and sixty 0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:19.320 five yard thirteenth Pole in nineteen eighty six, Gary McCord fourteen, 0:33:19.360 --> 0:33:21.520 Ben Wright fifteen, who became sort of the star of 0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:25.600 the show. Nance sixteen, Vern seventeen. They just go one. 0:33:25.760 --> 0:33:27.880 This is Nance's first ever Masters. 0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:32.120 At sixteen six years old. So I think that may 0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:32.440 be right. 0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:35.040 Yeah, I think that's right. Yeah, Vern seventeen, as we know, 0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:37.680 Pat summerl and eighteen with Ventury kind of coming back 0:33:37.720 --> 0:33:39.960 and providing more of the golf commentary. It's kind of cool. 0:33:40.000 --> 0:33:41.680 They go from one to the next and they talk 0:33:41.720 --> 0:33:45.280 about their whole. They do not do that. It's much 0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:47.720 more consolidated with fewer voices now. 0:33:48.480 --> 0:33:50.560 Kind of it's fun, Like I kept thinking about that, 0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:54.120 like that, would the Masters be better without like Nance 0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:57.880 and Trevor, like being the overarching or Nens and Faldo, 0:33:58.400 --> 0:34:01.400 like if eg hole had its own individual voice. I 0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:04.520 don't know, Like I like Dance obviously like Trevor, but 0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:06.120 it is kind of fun that they had, Like the 0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:06.760 character of. 0:34:06.760 --> 0:34:09.120 The whole comes through without each announcer. 0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:15.359 I loved Ben Wright though he's the a couple so much. 0:34:15.880 --> 0:34:17.799 Ben Wright exchanges that I'd like to read in my 0:34:17.800 --> 0:34:19.360 best Ben, Well, we'll. 0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:22.480 Get that, so Musburger and Weiscoffer in the cabin. But 0:34:22.560 --> 0:34:26.600 you're right, there is no like predominant voice. They set 0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:28.680 up a few things, they come in out of break, 0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:32.120 but they're not like the they're not the conductor in 0:34:32.160 --> 0:34:34.960 the way there that it is now and it's just 0:34:35.000 --> 0:34:37.640 sort of like, all right, the action's all on fifteen 0:34:37.719 --> 0:34:40.920 for this forty five minutes. It's just basically Ben Wright's broadcast, 0:34:41.280 --> 0:34:43.440 you know, with with occasionally sprinkle an a and go 0:34:43.520 --> 0:34:46.520 back to Venturi at thirteen, and you'll like occasionally go 0:34:46.719 --> 0:34:50.600 back to the cabin for Musburger and that's it the opening. 0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:52.439 I guess we can go linear here what we talked 0:34:52.440 --> 0:34:58.680 about Jack, I just want to mention, like Norman, there's 0:34:58.719 --> 0:35:01.680 a real this was what I forgot, Okay, I was young. 0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:05.240 There's like a Rory twenty five element to his round. 0:35:05.280 --> 0:35:08.680 I'm not saying it's synonymous to like, oh my god, 0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:12.320 this is the greatest stretch of golf I've ever seen before, 0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:16.200 birdies in a row with fourteen fifteen, sixteen seventeen. There 0:35:16.280 --> 0:35:18.880 is like, this guy is this This guy is brutal, 0:35:18.960 --> 0:35:22.040 like he's thrown it away, like just the roller coaster 0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:25.040 of tension. There was a little bit of that that 0:35:25.120 --> 0:35:28.080 we saw last year. I I when he made the 0:35:28.239 --> 0:35:30.640 double at ten, I was like, oh, he's off the 0:35:30.680 --> 0:35:33.000 broadcast right Like when he made I was like, that's it. 0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:35.880 And I know he literally has a putt for the 0:35:35.920 --> 0:35:39.080 playoff down to the wire, makeuple putt. It's crazy. The 0:35:39.360 --> 0:35:41.359 roller coaster. There was a Rory element. Would you agree 0:35:41.400 --> 0:35:45.440 with that, Andy, or you know, obviously different outcomes and stuff. 0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:50.200 This kind of goes to a bigger, bigger thing for me, 0:35:50.239 --> 0:35:55.000 a bigger theme of the telecast there's absolutely like the Seesaw. 0:35:56.320 --> 0:35:59.960 I just love the variability of the sport of golf 0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:05.160 in this era. I think I watching this, I saw 0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:08.319 some of like the greatest shots that I've seen on 0:36:08.480 --> 0:36:11.279 holes in a while, Like you know this, I think 0:36:11.280 --> 0:36:13.719 this like ties to like it made me kind of 0:36:14.719 --> 0:36:18.200 hate like that everybody's figured out this like modern strategy 0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:23.040 of aiming away from flags because like on eleven, you 0:36:23.080 --> 0:36:25.520 can't tell me that tom Kite did not just take 0:36:26.040 --> 0:36:30.120 full like right at the stick and it was like 0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:33.319 I want when it landed, I was like, oh my god, Like. 0:36:33.239 --> 0:36:35.440 That's one of the best shots I've ever seen on eleven. 0:36:36.400 --> 0:36:38.880 The two shots that tom Kite hits, like into eleven 0:36:38.920 --> 0:36:41.120 and into eighteen are as good as any shot that 0:36:41.160 --> 0:36:43.759 you will see like in the Masters any year. 0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:46.520 I mean, they are just ballsy at the pin shots. 0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:49.480 And the shot on eleven, I was like, God, I 0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:53.360 haven't seen a ball just flagged to that back left 0:36:53.400 --> 0:36:54.680 pin in so long. 0:36:54.920 --> 0:36:56.560 It feels like just so long. 0:36:56.600 --> 0:36:59.799 Everybody just dumps it right and it's like, oh my god, 0:36:59.840 --> 0:37:02.880 this guy just flagged it. But then the variability aspect 0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:04.400 of this and I think a lot of it, Like 0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:07.880 I don't want to be, you know, bagging out equipment, 0:37:07.920 --> 0:37:11.360 but I think so much of this is equipment. Some 0:37:11.440 --> 0:37:14.560 of the worst shots I've ever seen, like ever seen. 0:37:14.920 --> 0:37:19.160 I had a list many, like seventy shot into fifteen 0:37:19.239 --> 0:37:27.120 which ruined his chance to win, was horrendous. Corey Pavin 0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:31.560 into sixteen was just awful and. 0:37:31.560 --> 0:37:32.640 The guy could have won. 0:37:33.280 --> 0:37:35.760 Yeah, Norman in eighteen. 0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:36.800 Norman into eighteen. 0:37:37.000 --> 0:37:39.799 There, but like there's like a reason for that, is 0:37:39.840 --> 0:37:43.040 like Corey Paven or I mean not Corey Pavin. Tom 0:37:43.120 --> 0:37:46.040 Kite on ten was hitting a four iron. 0:37:46.400 --> 0:37:49.920 I think I wrote that it was a four iron. 0:37:49.280 --> 0:37:50.600 Four iron into ten. 0:37:51.000 --> 0:37:54.440 Yeah, these guys are hitting six irons into six, Like 0:37:55.480 --> 0:37:58.480 it's just like a completely different Like they're talking about 0:37:58.920 --> 0:38:00.560 sixteen being a mid iron. 0:38:01.040 --> 0:38:03.240 I think got twelve they said it was a mid iron. 0:38:03.400 --> 0:38:06.040 Yeah I had that, Yeah, And it's just a. 0:38:06.000 --> 0:38:07.080 Completely different sport. 0:38:07.120 --> 0:38:10.799 But there was so much more variability. The shots in 0:38:10.880 --> 0:38:14.680 the moments still great, like so many great shots, Like 0:38:14.760 --> 0:38:17.600 I couldn't believe how many great shots that were into fifteen, 0:38:18.200 --> 0:38:20.240 like over and over and over. 0:38:20.080 --> 0:38:21.680 Again in this telecast. 0:38:21.760 --> 0:38:24.680 But then you also get these like god awful shots 0:38:24.880 --> 0:38:29.280 which made the product like just the golf way more interesting. 0:38:29.400 --> 0:38:33.960 And I feel like anybody who's anti rollback, anti the 0:38:34.000 --> 0:38:38.040 sport for the professionals being challenging, should watch this telecast 0:38:38.080 --> 0:38:41.520 and be like, wait, I could watch Greg Norman just 0:38:41.600 --> 0:38:44.520 snaff hooked two shots in a row on the tenth hole, 0:38:44.840 --> 0:38:48.200 like into the trees, and he could be leading the tournament. 0:38:48.280 --> 0:38:50.120 Like it kind of goes to the Norman thing, like 0:38:50.160 --> 0:38:53.600 that Norman round had some of the most miraculous shots 0:38:53.640 --> 0:38:57.279 I've ever seen, like the seventeenth and some of the 0:38:57.280 --> 0:38:58.439 worst shots I've ever seen. 0:38:59.040 --> 0:39:00.640 Yeah, it's I think too. 0:39:00.719 --> 0:39:04.280 You you just see like what an incredible like athlete 0:39:04.320 --> 0:39:08.680 Greig Norman was. To see the sounds of the ball 0:39:09.120 --> 0:39:13.200 coming off of his driver is awesome. It's so cool 0:39:13.239 --> 0:39:16.280 to see him just like take those big high hands 0:39:16.320 --> 0:39:19.880 and just absolutely you know, every shot sounds so pure 0:39:20.160 --> 0:39:22.279 because they had to freaking hit it pure then or 0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:24.920 it was gonna be a like an ugly little you know, 0:39:25.080 --> 0:39:25.800 smother hook. 0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:31.200 Yeah, he's a unit too. That was like I'm just like, well, 0:39:31.239 --> 0:39:34.000 I was like, physically imposing. 0:39:35.200 --> 0:39:37.040 The sound is something I made know of that earlier. 0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:39.279 I think it was Nick Price or Nicky Price who's 0:39:39.280 --> 0:39:43.839 playing in the final group with he had a three 0:39:43.920 --> 0:39:46.760 wood on seven and it made just this like erotic sound. 0:39:46.800 --> 0:39:49.200 It was like incredible, and you just get a lot 0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:52.840 more of that throughout the broadcast. All right, yeah, we 0:39:53.160 --> 0:39:54.880 just had to call out Norman. I just did not 0:39:55.120 --> 0:39:59.880 remember the details of just how roller if it's not Nicholas, 0:40:00.160 --> 0:40:04.279 and it's not Nicholas six jackets at forty six. Very 0:40:04.280 --> 0:40:06.719 few things were not going to make Norman story a 0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:09.960 story one the way it ended, the way the Sunday went, 0:40:10.120 --> 0:40:13.440 like absolutely in a modern era he would have been 0:40:13.480 --> 0:40:16.080 the biggest story coming out of that. It's just you 0:40:16.120 --> 0:40:19.680 had the greatest master champion when he was presumed over 0:40:19.680 --> 0:40:22.640 the hill. Like in a lot of ways, Norman was 0:40:23.800 --> 0:40:27.759 sort of The Sunday and that eighteenth Pole are sort 0:40:27.760 --> 0:40:33.120 of I don't know, carpeted, blanketed over thanks to Jack, 0:40:33.320 --> 0:40:35.720 thanks to the being reduced to yes, sir, and Jack's 0:40:35.800 --> 0:40:39.520 charge because this was a pretty incomprehensible round from Norman. 0:40:39.640 --> 0:40:42.319 All right, let's go ahead, keV, you're gonna jump in there. 0:40:42.320 --> 0:40:45.520 I'll just say it's like like Greg Norman's entire career 0:40:45.560 --> 0:40:47.399 in miniature, like you start with. 0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:49.280 The lead, you throw it away. 0:40:49.719 --> 0:40:52.480 You have the most unbelievable run you could ever imagine, 0:40:52.640 --> 0:40:55.319 like four birdies in a row, and then you hit 0:40:55.360 --> 0:40:57.600 a great drive on eighteen and then you completely hit 0:40:57.640 --> 0:40:59.600 it so far into the crowd that I've never seen 0:40:59.640 --> 0:41:02.680 a ball like up there in the sense, and you 0:41:02.719 --> 0:41:04.400 have a putt still to die and you miss it 0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:07.480 like that's Greg Norman. It's just like the the agony 0:41:07.520 --> 0:41:11.280 and ecstasy of all of it real quick. 0:41:11.280 --> 0:41:13.520 We'd be remiss to not point out Norman had a 0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:14.760 threewood off the tee. 0:41:15.200 --> 0:41:16.120 Did he did? 0:41:16.480 --> 0:41:18.640 Did you write down what club he was hitting in? 0:41:18.800 --> 0:41:22.600 The longest player in the sport at this time, maybe 0:41:22.640 --> 0:41:26.200 not the longest, but one of the longest players in 0:41:26.280 --> 0:41:30.080 the sport at this time. On the eighteenth hole, Augusta 0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:32.840 hit a perfect t shot with what he wanted to 0:41:32.880 --> 0:41:35.600 do the three wood. Obviously that laid him back a 0:41:35.640 --> 0:41:40.800 little bit, but he is hitting a four iron into 0:41:40.840 --> 0:41:45.080 the green, and obviously when you're hitting a four iron, 0:41:45.680 --> 0:41:46.720 shit can go wrong. 0:41:49.000 --> 0:41:51.359 Rory had like one hundred yards in last year. 0:41:52.840 --> 0:41:55.000 It just it's fun to watch the flight. You can't 0:41:55.000 --> 0:41:57.080 see it all that great of like the drives whatever, 0:41:57.120 --> 0:41:59.799 but it's like, you know, a low like cut that 0:41:59.840 --> 0:42:02.400 the that was like part of how the ball was 0:42:02.480 --> 0:42:04.719 launched back in the day, right, Like you didn't just 0:42:04.840 --> 0:42:07.080 freaking sky it into the air and let it carry 0:42:07.120 --> 0:42:10.399 three fifteen twenty, like you had to hit it two 0:42:10.520 --> 0:42:12.799 fifty and then get thirty yards of roll out of it. 0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:14.520 And that was just like kind of a it's fun 0:42:14.560 --> 0:42:16.160 to see that when you look back at it. 0:42:16.920 --> 0:42:20.640 Yeah, a four iron it is. We'll get to it. 0:42:20.640 --> 0:42:24.040 It's not the biggest house on the Van Develt block, 0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:26.480 but it certainly has a home on the Van Develt 0:42:26.480 --> 0:42:27.680 block and belongs there. 0:42:28.000 --> 0:42:30.759 I don't know if it I took more offense to 0:42:30.880 --> 0:42:34.319 this putt than I took to the four iron bought. 0:42:34.400 --> 0:42:38.120 That's you know, six inches on the high side. Yeah, 0:42:38.600 --> 0:42:39.920 not great. 0:42:40.160 --> 0:42:44.760 But you can't like takeaway was he doing a four iron? 0:42:45.520 --> 0:42:47.920 Yeah, you can't hit it on the ted t. You 0:42:48.000 --> 0:42:49.960 can't like all you got just bum one up to 0:42:50.000 --> 0:42:50.719 the front of the green. 0:42:51.160 --> 0:42:54.839 It wasn't that far the camera and like where the 0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:58.960 camera was looking in the in the patron gallery was 0:42:58.960 --> 0:43:00.560 was the issue. 0:43:01.040 --> 0:43:03.000 It made it look way worse than it was. 0:43:03.760 --> 0:43:06.760 Any Any pro could hit a four if I dropped 0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:10.239 the pro two hundred yards going up that hill, which 0:43:10.239 --> 0:43:11.440 would be a foe iron. 0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:14.560 There'd be a bucket of balls over there on the right. 0:43:15.480 --> 0:43:19.000 Okay, now granted it hits the people, so it would 0:43:19.040 --> 0:43:21.560 have rolled another twenty five yards right of that. 0:43:21.600 --> 0:43:25.359 What ends up fifteen minutes. They were hot and deep 0:43:25.360 --> 0:43:27.200 where he hit. It took fifteen minutes to move. All 0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:29.640 these people of an advanced age are kind of shuffle 0:43:29.680 --> 0:43:33.120 in their feet. It takes forever to clear out the space. 0:43:35.000 --> 0:43:37.160 On the I'm just say it's in the realm of 0:43:37.239 --> 0:43:39.680 possibilities if you're hitting a four iron into the green. 0:43:40.080 --> 0:43:42.000 Sure, I understand that said. 0:43:42.000 --> 0:43:43.200 I don't know if you guys did any of your 0:43:43.200 --> 0:43:45.440 homework and getting some of the assets here, but I 0:43:45.440 --> 0:43:47.560 think we have some some visual aids here to help 0:43:47.680 --> 0:43:48.760 us tell some of the story. 0:43:49.120 --> 0:43:51.600 Okay, I took screenshots and didn't sound the on the 0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:55.120 pj's what I did. Well, then just operation Kevin. 0:43:55.680 --> 0:43:57.279 You can still send a people. I just want to 0:43:57.280 --> 0:43:59.480 start out page. Hopefully you can load some of my 0:43:59.520 --> 0:43:59.919 first ones. 0:44:00.640 --> 0:44:00.799 Uh. 0:44:00.880 --> 0:44:02.640 I would really would like to bring back the era 0:44:02.760 --> 0:44:05.960 of where adult men could wear glasses and still be 0:44:06.040 --> 0:44:06.640 sort of cool. 0:44:07.160 --> 0:44:09.480 I would just like to take you through this. This 0:44:09.560 --> 0:44:11.160 is Tom Kite. 0:44:10.880 --> 0:44:13.240 Earlier wearing glasses, right. 0:44:13.160 --> 0:44:15.399 I know this is well, this is why we need 0:44:15.440 --> 0:44:17.600 to make sure that glasses are cool again. My father 0:44:17.840 --> 0:44:20.399 wore a pair of glasses that are just like Verne 0:44:20.440 --> 0:44:22.920 lundquists in this. We can go to the next frame. 0:44:22.960 --> 0:44:25.719 Here we have Ken Green here. These are these are 0:44:25.760 --> 0:44:28.239 all from this era of this tournament. Next we have 0:44:28.280 --> 0:44:31.760 Bob Murphy here, just an incredible transition lenses. 0:44:32.200 --> 0:44:34.920 And then Vern here is great, and then uh. 0:44:34.800 --> 0:44:37.759 Tommy Nakajima here is to finish the clothes these are. 0:44:37.880 --> 0:44:40.600 It's an incredible era for just like you know, if 0:44:40.600 --> 0:44:43.320 you didn't have contact. I mean, a running theme throughout 0:44:43.360 --> 0:44:46.080 this entire thing is that Jack can't see You're gonna 0:44:46.120 --> 0:44:48.279 have such terrible vision that he can't know where the 0:44:48.320 --> 0:44:50.960 ball is. And obviously Jack was probably too vain to 0:44:51.000 --> 0:44:52.960 wear glasses like this, but I want to just, you know, 0:44:52.960 --> 0:44:54.960 give a shout out to Tom Kite. Didn't want any 0:44:55.000 --> 0:44:56.200 part of that. He wanted to be able to see 0:44:56.200 --> 0:44:58.400 the ball where it was. I whatevery. I don't know 0:44:58.400 --> 0:45:00.319 if you fell about it this way, but when I 0:45:00.320 --> 0:45:03.920 tried to golf in glasses, it completely makes me like crazy. 0:45:04.000 --> 0:45:06.120 I just see the frame out of the corner of 0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:08.480 my eye, and I cannot make contact with ball and 0:45:08.560 --> 0:45:10.439 he's which to me is tough. 0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:14.520 The one time I've been forced to play. 0:45:15.280 --> 0:45:18.400 So I got I had an eye infection in my 0:45:19.280 --> 0:45:23.680 mid twenties and I got diagnosed with it basically like 0:45:24.160 --> 0:45:27.719 two days before a golf tournament that I was playing in, 0:45:28.080 --> 0:45:31.200 and it was my first round in glasses, and since 0:45:31.320 --> 0:45:35.160 like I was a kid, and it was funny. I 0:45:35.680 --> 0:45:38.520 actually remember I played with. I was playing with Roger Steele. 0:45:38.760 --> 0:45:42.399 This was pre This was pre both of our our 0:45:42.520 --> 0:45:44.000 forays into golf. 0:45:44.520 --> 0:45:47.480 Pre influencers. That's the influence origin story. 0:45:47.719 --> 0:45:49.640 There were a couple of things going on with me 0:45:49.800 --> 0:45:52.080 that day as I was trying to figure out where 0:45:52.080 --> 0:45:56.040 I struggled with the golf was was like thirty to 0:45:56.040 --> 0:46:00.440 fifty yards. I had no depth perception with the glass glasses. 0:46:00.840 --> 0:46:03.960 But anyways, you know, you know anybody that seen rogerhood 0:46:04.000 --> 0:46:06.520 golf ball in the third hole, I was like, what 0:46:06.520 --> 0:46:09.680 the fuck? I just how did this drive of this 0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:14.359 guy's one hundred yards past me? But anyways, I ended 0:46:14.440 --> 0:46:16.960 up shooting going out in forty four. I was struggled. 0:46:17.000 --> 0:46:21.440 I struggled with the glasses. I came home in thirty two, 0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:26.040 which which qualified me luckily, thankfully, But the h the 0:46:26.040 --> 0:46:30.600 glasses were real problem. 0:46:30.880 --> 0:46:34.080 Well, it was in. 0:46:34.320 --> 0:46:36.160 I think if you played it with them all the time, 0:46:36.200 --> 0:46:37.040 you get used to it. 0:46:37.040 --> 0:46:39.719 Though for sure Tom Kite never went away from it 0:46:39.920 --> 0:46:41.480 as far as I know, right, I mean, did you 0:46:41.480 --> 0:46:43.520 play Champs Tour with with glasses? 0:46:43.560 --> 0:46:43.880 Maybe? 0:46:44.480 --> 0:46:46.680 Well about the top tight a set? 0:46:47.480 --> 0:46:47.719 Yeah? 0:46:48.880 --> 0:46:49.480 Uh. 0:46:49.960 --> 0:46:52.200 I had a question for you, guys, what do you 0:46:52.239 --> 0:46:54.760 think Tom Kite and Sevy talked about all day? 0:46:56.080 --> 0:46:59.839 It's a little different dynamic. Well, I there's a lot 0:46:59.880 --> 0:47:02.759 of that going on out there. Watson was with is 0:47:02.800 --> 0:47:05.480 with Nakajima. Do I have that right? I mean, that's 0:47:05.520 --> 0:47:10.319 an odd pairing. Kite and Sevvy seemed like from two 0:47:10.400 --> 0:47:11.880 different cloths, for sure. 0:47:12.440 --> 0:47:16.960 They seem like the two most polar opposite, polar opposite 0:47:16.960 --> 0:47:19.240 personalities in this tournament. 0:47:20.480 --> 0:47:20.719 Yeah. 0:47:21.239 --> 0:47:27.800 Yeah, glasses were big. Visors were big. Everybody's wearing a visor. 0:47:25.719 --> 0:47:30.480 A lot of hats, have a lot of hats. 0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:33.200 Did you notice that Langer takes the visor off and 0:47:33.280 --> 0:47:35.600 on at various points in the day like some like 0:47:35.640 --> 0:47:38.520 a true actually using the visor for some purposes as 0:47:38.520 --> 0:47:41.200 opposed to like an activation. Sometimes he's wearing the visor, 0:47:41.239 --> 0:47:41.920 sometimes he's not. 0:47:42.760 --> 0:47:43.520 That's pretty good. 0:47:43.719 --> 0:47:47.560 I mean with the Tommy Fleetwood Blackstone hat, I think 0:47:47.600 --> 0:47:51.320 it's just time to cancel uh hat sponsorships on tour. 0:47:51.480 --> 0:47:54.400 Just get rid of it. Yeah, be so much better. 0:47:55.719 --> 0:47:59.560 Well, roll up an email say this should be part 0:47:59.600 --> 0:48:01.719 of this is how you grow the audience. 0:48:02.080 --> 0:48:05.080 So I have one image that kind of ties together 0:48:05.120 --> 0:48:06.520 a lot of these things we're talking about page if 0:48:06.520 --> 0:48:08.839 you can bring next on up. This is of Jay 0:48:08.880 --> 0:48:12.440 Haas and this is kind of emblematic of the kind 0:48:12.440 --> 0:48:14.440 of shoulder turns that they took back then and the 0:48:14.800 --> 0:48:18.000 way that swings were. Like he is completely up on 0:48:18.080 --> 0:48:21.279 his uh you know, weight into the inside of his 0:48:21.360 --> 0:48:23.960 right foot, but toe is like all that's touching the 0:48:23.960 --> 0:48:27.080 ground and the visor here, and the the kind of 0:48:27.120 --> 0:48:30.280 aqua I guess what would be the description of those pants, 0:48:30.320 --> 0:48:31.360 like kind of teal pants. 0:48:31.680 --> 0:48:33.960 Yeah, blue, tealish blue. 0:48:34.160 --> 0:48:36.800 But this is like, you know, Jay Hawston's up finishing 0:48:37.000 --> 0:48:37.920 fifth or something. 0:48:38.280 --> 0:48:40.520 This is how guys swung the club back in the day. 0:48:40.520 --> 0:48:42.080 You can see it a lot with Nicholas, just like 0:48:42.520 --> 0:48:45.960 the big leg drive, none of that sort of stable 0:48:46.080 --> 0:48:47.839 kind of beautiful. You know what we think of like 0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:50.960 Rory Adams Scott justin Rose's motion and I. 0:48:51.040 --> 0:48:52.520 Just honestly it looks awesome. 0:48:52.960 --> 0:48:55.560 The aesthetic of like watching guys have to kind of 0:48:55.640 --> 0:48:59.439 really like get their weight back and then wail into 0:48:59.480 --> 0:49:01.479 the ball is is freaking cool to see. 0:49:01.800 --> 0:49:04.480 I mean with this, it was also it seemed like 0:49:04.520 --> 0:49:09.600 a toasty day in Augusta and the fabrics, the fabrics, yes. 0:49:11.440 --> 0:49:13.440 Up for a toasty day. I had a question for 0:49:13.560 --> 0:49:14.960 p J. P J, did you watch this? 0:49:16.800 --> 0:49:19.240 I watched parts of it, but once we just decided 0:49:19.280 --> 0:49:21.440 that you three were going ahead, I did not commit 0:49:21.480 --> 0:49:22.240 all three hours. 0:49:22.520 --> 0:49:26.239 I had a question for you, as you know, was 0:49:26.280 --> 0:49:27.880 it was Jay Hass a problem? 0:49:28.280 --> 0:49:33.040 I mean, Jay Haas might have been a problem when 0:49:33.160 --> 0:49:37.400 when we when we discussed potential twenty tens problems, there 0:49:37.400 --> 0:49:39.719 were people that submitted Bill has As a problem. But 0:49:39.840 --> 0:49:41.560 I said he was too good to be a problem. 0:49:41.640 --> 0:49:44.279 As a former number one player in the world, Jay Haas, 0:49:44.600 --> 0:49:45.399 I'd give you though. 0:49:45.880 --> 0:49:49.520 I mean Jay was everybody career of Bill. I mean, 0:49:51.040 --> 0:49:51.640 he'll never. 0:49:51.480 --> 0:49:54.120 Finished like Bill was ever contending in the Masters. 0:49:54.440 --> 0:49:55.400 I'm just saying. 0:49:56.680 --> 0:49:58.000 It was a listed player. 0:49:58.320 --> 0:49:59.680 Jay has FedEx cups. 0:50:00.040 --> 0:50:03.000 The film wasn't yeah, oh god, that's good. 0:50:03.280 --> 0:50:06.120 But I wrote that down just for PJ. I wanted 0:50:06.160 --> 0:50:08.520 to ask Jaws a problem. 0:50:09.040 --> 0:50:12.200 One point go ahead. I was just say, at one 0:50:12.239 --> 0:50:14.520 point Jay like this, we were talking about miss shots whatever. 0:50:14.920 --> 0:50:17.480 At one point, Jay like hits it into sixteen like 0:50:17.560 --> 0:50:20.719 it's an unbelievable shot in sixteen to four feet, and 0:50:21.160 --> 0:50:23.400 we never get to see him miss the putt like 0:50:23.520 --> 0:50:26.080 he likes a shot to essentially like try the lead 0:50:26.120 --> 0:50:28.799 at the time, and it just later we come back 0:50:28.920 --> 0:50:30.240 and yeah. 0:50:30.280 --> 0:50:32.160 And Nance's like, you know, wow, we're wait. 0:50:32.320 --> 0:50:35.399 I was Ben Crenshaw made his putt Portunately, Jay Haas 0:50:35.440 --> 0:50:35.840 missed his. 0:50:37.520 --> 0:50:40.160 You know what I think they didn't have the capability 0:50:40.200 --> 0:50:43.960 of was to tape a shot and show it later later, yeah, 0:50:44.000 --> 0:50:47.279 because did you notice it was I think it was 0:50:47.440 --> 0:50:51.760 Norman was playing and they had to like hammer cut 0:50:51.800 --> 0:50:56.160 to Jack putting out on eighteen and he barely got there. 0:50:56.239 --> 0:50:58.080 He was like taking the like as soon as he 0:50:58.120 --> 0:51:01.239 got there, he's seeing the pudding out to win the Masters. 0:51:01.560 --> 0:51:03.520 Well, it's always like they're talking the announcers, they're talking 0:51:03.560 --> 0:51:05.200 to each other about the end the camera at the 0:51:05.239 --> 0:51:05.920 same time because you. 0:51:05.960 --> 0:51:08.960 Hear a lot where Vert's like quickly now to fourteen. 0:51:08.760 --> 0:51:15.040 Like, oh yeah, it's there's some some sort of rudimentary 0:51:15.160 --> 0:51:18.480 like broadcasts. It's rough. It was forty years ago. It's incredible, 0:51:18.560 --> 0:51:23.360 incredible stuff. Let's start uh linearly a little bit. The 0:51:23.400 --> 0:51:27.960 broadcast opens, Musburger leads us in. It's Musburger and Weisskopf 0:51:28.040 --> 0:51:30.160 Show for the first like ten to fifteen minutes. In 0:51:30.239 --> 0:51:32.279 the cabin, I thought wes Coff was great. I thought 0:51:32.280 --> 0:51:34.920 he was pretty crop well. That was where I had. 0:51:35.000 --> 0:51:40.080 It's like helicopter going down Jakie helicopter footage going down 0:51:40.200 --> 0:51:44.319 Magolia Lane. I'm getting Vertico. I need drama, mean, and 0:51:44.400 --> 0:51:48.000 there's just like bouncing down. It was probably like mind 0:51:48.000 --> 0:51:50.440 blowing at the time that they had this aerial footage. 0:51:50.440 --> 0:51:54.040 But uh he refers to it as the Augusta National 0:51:54.440 --> 0:51:58.400 Home of the Masters. It's Golf's greatest stage, as it 0:51:58.440 --> 0:52:00.239 was called. I mean, this is eighty six, I don't know, 0:52:00.480 --> 0:52:04.040 masters pretty firmly entrenched. But he said a tradition unlike 0:52:04.080 --> 0:52:06.880 any other. So we have that tagline already getting used, 0:52:07.239 --> 0:52:10.680 and said the Green Jacket the most prestigious prize in 0:52:10.800 --> 0:52:13.600 all of golf, which I don't know. Was that the 0:52:13.640 --> 0:52:16.120 case in eighty six already I guess, so I guess. 0:52:16.160 --> 0:52:19.520 I mean, I'm not saying it was like you know, yesterday, 0:52:19.640 --> 0:52:22.480 but the US Open was prominent. It was already by 0:52:22.520 --> 0:52:26.640 CBS standards, most prestigious prize and all of golf. Everything 0:52:26.719 --> 0:52:31.440 is just much more minimalist. There are like twelve umbrella tables. 0:52:31.800 --> 0:52:34.920 You know they do the overhead footage. Now there's probably 0:52:35.200 --> 0:52:38.080 you know, thirty plus or something like that. So we 0:52:38.239 --> 0:52:40.560 lead into that. Weiscoff was good in the cab and 0:52:40.560 --> 0:52:43.040 he's like, you know, they've got I like how they 0:52:43.040 --> 0:52:45.279 go through the history of winners. They've got Jimmy de 0:52:45.320 --> 0:52:48.600 Merritt looking like a news newsy, like in a newsboy cap. 0:52:49.520 --> 0:52:52.400 They've got you know, Arnold and everybody white T shirt. 0:52:53.320 --> 0:52:55.920 It's just like a great montage of all the all 0:52:55.920 --> 0:53:00.920 the former winners. Then you have Weiscoff talking about this 0:53:00.960 --> 0:53:03.440 is an incredible course. No rough here, but you need 0:53:03.480 --> 0:53:05.600 strategy off the tee. So it's unlike all the other 0:53:05.680 --> 0:53:08.680 majors because you're used to just rough apparently, you know, 0:53:08.960 --> 0:53:10.839 this is the mid eighties of the US Open. You're 0:53:10.880 --> 0:53:13.319 used to rough at the PGA. This is unlike the 0:53:13.360 --> 0:53:16.200 other majors. No, rough the great thing. You know, early 0:53:16.280 --> 0:53:19.200 on we get Nick Price's left of six talks about 0:53:19.200 --> 0:53:21.040 the great thing about Augusta as you can do three 0:53:21.040 --> 0:53:23.680 things from off of every green just about as he's 0:53:23.719 --> 0:53:25.640 gonna bump and run and he's gonna put it, he's 0:53:25.719 --> 0:53:28.040 gonna go up in the air. So Wiscoff I thought 0:53:28.160 --> 0:53:30.919 was pretty good throughout the broadcast. And of course has 0:53:30.960 --> 0:53:34.640 that great history with Jack being from Ohio, Ohio state kid, 0:53:35.680 --> 0:53:38.479 and you know snake bitten a little bit by Jack 0:53:38.560 --> 0:53:41.799 certainly over the years in the shadow. So anything else 0:53:41.840 --> 0:53:44.840 from early on, Kevin we talked about the missed eagles. 0:53:45.200 --> 0:53:47.640 You know, we don't see Jack until the ninth we do. 0:53:47.800 --> 0:53:50.759 The earliest Hollday show is the fifth I believe they 0:53:50.800 --> 0:53:54.160 show highlights from earlier holes, but we pick up the 0:53:54.239 --> 0:53:58.200 leaders on the fifth green. And Gary player for reasons 0:53:58.239 --> 0:54:01.360 that aren't entirely clear, is in the cabin with some 0:54:01.440 --> 0:54:03.960 early commentary before he abruptly has to catch his playing. 0:54:04.120 --> 0:54:07.439 Is just on camera, like roughly taking his mic off 0:54:07.480 --> 0:54:08.279 his lapel, like. 0:54:08.360 --> 0:54:09.600 I actually have a picture of this. 0:54:10.600 --> 0:54:12.719 Gary looks like he's on a late night talk show here, 0:54:12.920 --> 0:54:16.080 like he's like talking to Johnny Carson at this point, Well, 0:54:16.120 --> 0:54:20.680 you know, Johnny, this is where they ask him, you know, Gary, 0:54:20.760 --> 0:54:22.239 what do you how do you feel about all these 0:54:22.320 --> 0:54:23.160 foreigners playing? 0:54:25.360 --> 0:54:25.560 Gary? 0:54:25.600 --> 0:54:27.720 Do you like seeing all these foreigners playing so well? 0:54:28.080 --> 0:54:30.080 And he says, you know, Bobby Jones always said is 0:54:30.120 --> 0:54:32.760 a worldly game. I you know, I'm a foreigner myself. 0:54:33.080 --> 0:54:36.040 It was a this theme will kind of run throughout 0:54:36.040 --> 0:54:41.960 the show of like foreigners slash invaders. Yeah, if you know, 0:54:42.320 --> 0:54:46.400 somehow it's an upfront to the masters that these foreigners 0:54:46.400 --> 0:54:48.680 are winning. You know, Stevey's already won twice at this point, 0:54:49.080 --> 0:54:51.719 the idea that like this is true of like, if 0:54:51.760 --> 0:54:56.319 you read like the classic Golf Digest story that Dan 0:54:56.400 --> 0:54:58.760 Jenkins wrote, this is the first year that Dan Jenkins 0:54:58.760 --> 0:55:01.120 was not writing for Sports Illustrated. You had gone to 0:55:01.200 --> 0:55:03.800 Golf Digest. Rick Riley is now writing for Sports Illustrated, 0:55:04.360 --> 0:55:09.279 and the lead to Jenkins's story is Jack. No one's 0:55:09.400 --> 0:55:12.880 killed more foreigners than Jack Nicholas except maybe Dwight D. 0:55:12.960 --> 0:55:13.480 Eisenhower. 0:55:13.560 --> 0:55:17.640 Oh my god, one of the. 0:55:16.840 --> 0:55:21.160 Great like holy shit Jenkins lines of all time. So 0:55:21.200 --> 0:55:23.640 that air was out there at this time. 0:55:24.400 --> 0:55:29.160 Yeah, foreigners than Donald Trump, Like what if we wrote 0:55:29.239 --> 0:55:32.920 that the start of a newsletter like in twenty six. 0:55:33.320 --> 0:55:35.200 I'll just write there for the newsletter this year and 0:55:35.239 --> 0:55:37.919 see if anyone notices that it's a tribute, or see 0:55:37.920 --> 0:55:38.880 if we get canceled. 0:55:39.920 --> 0:55:42.319 So the first time foreigner comes up and this was 0:55:42.400 --> 0:55:45.799 just the lexicon was priced on the fifth green, and 0:55:45.880 --> 0:55:48.319 Player goes, I don't believe in the word. We're all 0:55:48.360 --> 0:55:50.160 just golferst is what he said. I don't believe in 0:55:50.160 --> 0:55:53.840 the word. And then someone again, I think Weiskoff or Musburger, 0:55:53.880 --> 0:55:56.759 asked him about the foreigners, and he says it just 0:55:56.800 --> 0:56:00.200 makes his blood boil as much Player when they referred that, 0:56:00.360 --> 0:56:04.960 like makes my blood boil, and Musburgers later like it's 0:56:05.040 --> 0:56:07.120 kind of us against the world when he starts talking 0:56:07.120 --> 0:56:09.960 about jacketing the mix because you have you know, Lanner 0:56:10.120 --> 0:56:15.120 and Price and Norman and Nakajima. It's just this foreigner 0:56:15.239 --> 0:56:15.800 is the worst. 0:56:15.800 --> 0:56:17.720 And this is I have a graphic of this speech 0:56:17.760 --> 0:56:19.920 if you go to my next photo here, like this 0:56:20.000 --> 0:56:22.280 is the graphic that they throw up on the screen 0:56:22.520 --> 0:56:24.800 for and more like as if like it's an alert 0:56:24.880 --> 0:56:28.000 for Americans, like you know, how how we need to 0:56:28.040 --> 0:56:30.520 fix the Masters here. In some ways, that is part 0:56:30.520 --> 0:56:33.399 of what plays into the like love that people have 0:56:33.480 --> 0:56:35.520 of this eighty six Masters is that it was like 0:56:35.600 --> 0:56:40.000 Nicholas was defending our turf as Americans against this foreign invasion, 0:56:40.160 --> 0:56:42.880 and it just percolates throughout all the coverage of it. 0:56:43.040 --> 0:56:47.799 For audio listeners, the graphics has foreign born players have 0:56:47.920 --> 0:56:51.120 won four of the last eight titles. 0:56:52.160 --> 0:56:54.440 And this is a Norman putting at this moment as 0:56:54.480 --> 0:56:56.040 if he might be the next one. 0:56:56.280 --> 0:56:58.440 You know what, low key, I love this old Master's 0:56:58.480 --> 0:57:01.640 logo that you don't see anymore. It's like a great scripting. 0:57:02.400 --> 0:57:05.400 I would absolutely buy a T shirt that had that 0:57:05.680 --> 0:57:07.479 as the logo on on the front. 0:57:08.000 --> 0:57:08.120 Oh. 0:57:08.400 --> 0:57:10.279 Sure, they'll be working on the cook of that up 0:57:10.320 --> 0:57:11.680 for twenty twenty seven for you. 0:57:11.800 --> 0:57:13.479 Maybe it's in there in twenty twenty six. 0:57:16.480 --> 0:57:20.720 One thing that impressed me Sam Sneed swing at seventy 0:57:20.760 --> 0:57:22.920 five when they go they. 0:57:22.760 --> 0:57:25.040 Show the champ God he moved it. 0:57:25.440 --> 0:57:26.560 Yeah, honorary starter. 0:57:27.880 --> 0:57:30.680 Yeah this is Brennan knows this because I've joked about 0:57:30.680 --> 0:57:32.840 them with a bunch of times. But later Sneed just 0:57:32.960 --> 0:57:37.160 drills a fan in the face during the ceremonial t 0:57:37.320 --> 0:57:40.160 shot in later years and it's the last year that 0:57:40.200 --> 0:57:44.200 Sneed is ever allowed to do this shot. He broke 0:57:44.320 --> 0:57:47.520 somebody's glasses and the chairman, I forget it is the 0:57:47.600 --> 0:57:49.880 time I have to look this up. This is like 0:57:49.920 --> 0:57:54.000 a New York Times story, I think, and like drills 0:57:54.000 --> 0:57:56.480 a guy in the face and the chairman goes, oh my. 0:57:58.320 --> 0:58:00.920 The quote. 0:58:01.800 --> 0:58:04.640 Also, and I think it was Gary Player, said sev 0:58:05.160 --> 0:58:08.240 He described Savvy as the golfer everyone feared. 0:58:08.840 --> 0:58:10.720 Yeah, yes, yeah, great quote there. 0:58:10.760 --> 0:58:13.240 He said he's got he's got strength in the finesse 0:58:13.320 --> 0:58:14.920 of a locksmith. 0:58:15.680 --> 0:58:18.640 A locksmith, locksmith, And then they asked him what does 0:58:18.680 --> 0:58:23.360 that mean, Tom, what does what locksmith mean? And weis 0:58:23.400 --> 0:58:25.080 Coffe I don't think was the one who said it 0:58:25.080 --> 0:58:28.440 at first, like oh, well, he's got good hands, good touch. 0:58:29.080 --> 0:58:31.080 He was known as like the power players, like the 0:58:31.240 --> 0:58:34.040 raw power is what they kept saying. And when Gary 0:58:34.080 --> 0:58:37.400 Player is leaving and ripping the microphone off his lapel, 0:58:37.920 --> 0:58:40.840 they ask him, like, who's gonna win, and he's like, 0:58:40.880 --> 0:58:42.760 if it's the best player, who will win, it's definitely 0:58:42.760 --> 0:58:45.640 by Asteros, because he is for sure the best player 0:58:45.680 --> 0:58:48.200 in the world. And that's what just the sort of 0:58:49.440 --> 0:58:51.880 the rough nature of like you know how everything's so 0:58:52.120 --> 0:58:55.640 polished now going to the cabin and there's Gary Player 0:58:55.760 --> 0:58:58.280 like ripping his microphone off and having to be bothered 0:58:58.280 --> 0:59:00.480 to still talk and then like whole lean it up, 0:59:00.480 --> 0:59:02.160 like it's an influencer. Mike, like what you go? I 0:59:02.160 --> 0:59:04.560 want to me keep talking. It's just all on camera. 0:59:04.640 --> 0:59:07.800 It's kind of incredible, but he exits the stage. 0:59:08.080 --> 0:59:12.479 I think this would be uh like it would lead 0:59:12.600 --> 0:59:17.480 Sports Center, this story going into Sunday the Masters, and 0:59:17.480 --> 0:59:21.200 it's just a footnote. The one guy in like the 0:59:21.240 --> 0:59:24.840 final four groups that's a complete no name, Donnie Hammond. 0:59:26.080 --> 0:59:29.280 He's in contention. He pukes all over himself on Sunday. 0:59:29.360 --> 0:59:30.000 Let's be fair. 0:59:30.040 --> 0:59:33.360 He just just first they show him he's hitting a 0:59:33.400 --> 0:59:35.640 miserable shot. 0:59:35.960 --> 0:59:37.680 Donnie Hammond, he's in contention. 0:59:37.840 --> 0:59:40.040 I think he was in the second or third to last, 0:59:40.360 --> 0:59:44.960 third to last group of the Masters, and as a kid, 0:59:45.000 --> 0:59:48.400 he was the gallery guard at the Masters growing up. 0:59:49.560 --> 0:59:52.120 It was his first Masters they ever played in. 0:59:52.680 --> 0:59:55.040 Like this is like the one of the most incredible 0:59:55.120 --> 0:59:58.600 stories and it's just like a footnote of the broadcast 0:59:58.600 --> 0:59:59.760 and I'd never heard of it. 1:00:00.880 --> 1:00:03.360 This would be like a seven to eight minute. 1:00:03.480 --> 1:00:07.120 Like Jeff Darlington, Tom Ranald the essay that the Masters 1:00:07.160 --> 1:00:09.400 put on where this everybody would be sharing it on 1:00:09.440 --> 1:00:12.640 social Oh my god, a gallery guard is playing in 1:00:12.680 --> 1:00:14.480 the Masters. 1:00:14.000 --> 1:00:16.920 Not only playing is the contending. 1:00:17.120 --> 1:00:18.720 Group on Sundays. 1:00:19.000 --> 1:00:21.000 He was in the second to last group with the 1:00:21.000 --> 1:00:24.960 defending champ, Bernhard Loner with the second defending champ, number 1:00:25.000 --> 1:00:27.440 one player in the world, in the second to last group. 1:00:28.040 --> 1:00:30.280 It was his first Masters. He was a gallery guard 1:00:30.320 --> 1:00:33.920 as a kid. I think he still holds the record 1:00:33.920 --> 1:00:36.240 for low round for a rookie. In the third round 1:00:36.280 --> 1:00:38.520 she got sixty seven on Saturday. It was easy on 1:00:38.600 --> 1:00:42.720 Saturday relatively, and then Sunday easy ish with no win. 1:00:43.200 --> 1:00:44.960 I thought it was a little soft. Not to be. 1:00:45.840 --> 1:00:47.840 It seems soft with the way the balls were landing 1:00:47.840 --> 1:00:51.440 on twelve thirteen, not a lot of around fifteen, honest 1:00:51.480 --> 1:00:53.720 to god, with about an hour of fifty. It felt 1:00:53.720 --> 1:00:55.760 like we saw the Rory shot of fifteen like five 1:00:55.800 --> 1:00:59.280 times over from different guys, just dropping balls within makeable distance. 1:00:59.360 --> 1:01:02.680 Notating there, but it just is. It's a little softish, 1:01:02.720 --> 1:01:05.680 no wind, and so Saturday we'll talk about Nick Price 1:01:05.680 --> 1:01:06.200 in a minute. 1:01:06.200 --> 1:01:09.440 But uh yeah, I think people remember, I've had to 1:01:09.480 --> 1:01:11.480 know that Ben Crenshaw hit a three wood and it 1:01:11.640 --> 1:01:14.440 stopped on the green from two forty. Like, can you 1:01:14.480 --> 1:01:16.600 imagine trying to stop at three wood on the current 1:01:16.720 --> 1:01:18.360 fifteen green at Augusta. 1:01:18.880 --> 1:01:19.200 I don't. 1:01:19.280 --> 1:01:20.920 I think you would probably have to hit it so 1:01:21.120 --> 1:01:23.480 low into the face, like a ten feet from the water, 1:01:23.760 --> 1:01:26.320 that it's somehow kicked up and got just completely lucky. 1:01:26.360 --> 1:01:28.640 I don't think there's any scenario which you could take 1:01:28.680 --> 1:01:30.840 a hundred balls and not stop a threewood on the green. 1:01:31.120 --> 1:01:35.120 It's amazing how much the ball was stopping. 1:01:34.800 --> 1:01:38.440 On I found it was interesting though, like shots into nine, 1:01:39.440 --> 1:01:42.920 the ball just reacted a lot differently, like sometimes they 1:01:43.000 --> 1:01:43.840 bounce forward. 1:01:45.040 --> 1:01:46.120 Yeah. I think it's. 1:01:45.920 --> 1:01:49.440 Because of just like the angle that some shot, like 1:01:49.480 --> 1:01:53.840 the uphill shots in particular, to be like really released. 1:01:54.680 --> 1:01:57.240 And it's just because these guys were just not hitting 1:01:57.320 --> 1:01:58.000 just wedges. 1:01:59.240 --> 1:02:02.320 I mean, it's it's it's just crazy the way to 1:02:02.400 --> 1:02:05.040 watch something and be like wow, like well, I'm just 1:02:05.160 --> 1:02:07.880 used to I know how the ball's going to react 1:02:08.200 --> 1:02:10.480 when these guys hit it, and when the modern players 1:02:10.520 --> 1:02:13.640 hit it, when it hit the green. Yeah, with these guys, 1:02:13.760 --> 1:02:16.200 it seemed like it was kind of like guesswork how 1:02:16.240 --> 1:02:19.120 the ball was going to react when it hit the green. 1:02:19.720 --> 1:02:21.600 Yeah, so go ahead. 1:02:22.040 --> 1:02:24.840 Just my memory of the Masters as a young person 1:02:25.000 --> 1:02:28.120 is just balls like sucking back. Like all the time, 1:02:28.240 --> 1:02:30.479 guys would hit it long of greens. You know, they're 1:02:30.480 --> 1:02:33.160 they're hitting it ten yards past the green knowing there's 1:02:33.160 --> 1:02:35.520 no rough back there and it's just gonna zip back. 1:02:35.560 --> 1:02:38.600 Like Greg Norman was like an incredible, like high spin player, 1:02:38.600 --> 1:02:40.800 and with those lot of balls, it just made it 1:02:40.960 --> 1:02:42.960 like kind of cool and interesting because like you never 1:02:43.040 --> 1:02:45.520 knew what the ball was going to do until it 1:02:45.560 --> 1:02:46.120 was stopped. 1:02:46.200 --> 1:02:48.840 It was going to react in cool ways. 1:02:48.920 --> 1:02:51.040 I think there you know, and this was said early 1:02:51.080 --> 1:02:53.720 in the telecast. It got my attention. It made me 1:02:54.040 --> 1:02:54.920 research further. 1:02:57.280 --> 1:02:57.480 You know. 1:02:57.480 --> 1:03:00.360 We talked about the variability how these guys hit, I 1:03:00.360 --> 1:03:06.120 mean just amazing shots but also awful shots. Nick Price's tournament, 1:03:07.480 --> 1:03:10.280 he's he's kind of like a supporting character and this 1:03:10.600 --> 1:03:13.360 never really a lead in it. Never never once where 1:03:13.320 --> 1:03:16.680 you like Nick Price is gonna win. Obviously you got 1:03:16.720 --> 1:03:19.360 to number one in the world in his career, but 1:03:20.440 --> 1:03:23.760 he made he birdied ten of the last fifteen holes 1:03:23.840 --> 1:03:26.600 on Saturday ten of the last fifteen holes. 1:03:26.640 --> 1:03:29.080 I was like, what flipped out on eighteen too? 1:03:29.440 --> 1:03:32.520 He opens with a seventy nine and in the same 1:03:32.560 --> 1:03:35.560 tournament shoots a sixty three that still holds up as 1:03:35.600 --> 1:03:36.400 the course record. 1:03:36.600 --> 1:03:40.560 And this was the year after Curtis Strange opened with. 1:03:40.560 --> 1:03:44.560 An eighty eight and was leading on the sixty fourth 1:03:45.040 --> 1:03:45.560 whole tea. 1:03:45.720 --> 1:03:48.440 The tenth te he was leading by what was it 1:03:48.440 --> 1:03:49.080 three or four? 1:03:49.440 --> 1:03:52.360 He walked across from nine grain to ten. Yeah, like 1:03:52.440 --> 1:03:52.880 up three. 1:03:53.640 --> 1:03:59.040 So this idea of variability was so much greater in 1:03:59.120 --> 1:04:02.640 the sport at this time. You can shoot seventy nine 1:04:02.760 --> 1:04:05.880 or eighty in the Masters and not your urnam's out. 1:04:05.920 --> 1:04:08.160 Over two years in a row, you. 1:04:08.120 --> 1:04:10.920 Have a guy playing in the final group that shot 1:04:11.080 --> 1:04:15.440 seventy nine or eighty on Thursday. To me is like 1:04:16.120 --> 1:04:19.320 it kind of just exemplifies like where what happened to 1:04:19.360 --> 1:04:19.760 the sport? 1:04:20.920 --> 1:04:24.240 Ten birdies lips out on eleven, lips out for eleven 1:04:24.240 --> 1:04:26.760 on eighteen sixty three is still the course record, and 1:04:26.800 --> 1:04:29.880 the Masters with Norman's opening round in ninety six still 1:04:30.000 --> 1:04:32.120 the course right. The only two now like a bunch 1:04:32.160 --> 1:04:34.680 of sixty threes. It was price in eighty six. Norman 1:04:34.760 --> 1:04:38.280 in ninety six, incredible stuff he puts out on eighteen. 1:04:38.360 --> 1:04:41.440 I thought this was great for Price Summer all who's 1:04:41.480 --> 1:04:45.520 just got the low slow cadence and he's in the 1:04:45.600 --> 1:04:51.120 tire Nick Price, who shot sixty three yesterday, but this 1:04:52.000 --> 1:04:54.320 is today, and he like puts out he's just in 1:04:54.360 --> 1:04:57.960 the way of Norman. He's like, that's but this is today, 1:04:58.040 --> 1:04:59.160 and it's just like get out away. 1:04:59.720 --> 1:05:01.960 I think this might have been like a CBS way 1:05:01.960 --> 1:05:04.640 of talking, because Nance does it later too. I think 1:05:04.640 --> 1:05:08.000 I figured out Nance's cadence, particularly in this era. Is 1:05:08.040 --> 1:05:11.280 there are no commas in Nance's sentence. It's a lot 1:05:11.280 --> 1:05:13.720 of short sentences with the pauses in between and I'll 1:05:14.000 --> 1:05:15.920 I'll do one later, like as he sets up the 1:05:15.960 --> 1:05:16.800 shot in sixteen. 1:05:17.120 --> 1:05:19.560 But it's kind of a really cool way of talking. 1:05:20.200 --> 1:05:23.000 Yeah, it's it's pretty it's a pretty good tone in cadence. 1:05:23.800 --> 1:05:26.520 Let's start going like kind of in order. You know, 1:05:26.600 --> 1:05:29.160 the first leader board we see there's no no mention 1:05:29.280 --> 1:05:31.960 of Jack, Like, there's no mention of Jack. There's two pages, 1:05:32.000 --> 1:05:34.840 there's nothing. It's all the stars we've talked about. There's 1:05:34.840 --> 1:05:38.280 occasional Donnie Hammond and there's a Jay Haas, but there's 1:05:38.360 --> 1:05:42.800 just no mention. Norman starts with sole possessional lead, gets 1:05:42.800 --> 1:05:44.960 it back with a birdie at six. He's saving pars 1:05:45.000 --> 1:05:47.840 out of his butt at you know, one and two 1:05:47.880 --> 1:05:51.720 and four incredible, like kind of a sign of things 1:05:51.760 --> 1:05:55.000 to come, with a complete airmail job. On four, you know, 1:05:55.040 --> 1:05:57.360 he's scrambling but has sole possession of lead. 1:05:57.360 --> 1:05:57.680 At six. 1:05:57.720 --> 1:06:01.120 There's just not a lot of Jack involved at all. 1:06:01.720 --> 1:06:06.320 There was really the only time he comes up is ironically, 1:06:06.480 --> 1:06:10.200 they go to Watson, Tom Watson and they interview him 1:06:10.200 --> 1:06:12.000 before the round. He comes up. He's like, you need 1:06:12.040 --> 1:06:13.800 the experience and I don't know if this was a 1:06:13.800 --> 1:06:17.160 shot at Norman shot at Price some of the young 1:06:17.360 --> 1:06:20.280 foreign intruders or whatever they want to call him. He said, 1:06:20.320 --> 1:06:26.040 you need the experience, Sevy Lotter, myself and Jack. He 1:06:26.120 --> 1:06:29.720 throws out Jack, who like was not considered a serious 1:06:30.040 --> 1:06:33.040 professional golfer at the time, but Watson threw him out 1:06:33.080 --> 1:06:35.360 and Jack people like that, you need the experience when 1:06:35.360 --> 1:06:37.440 you're under the gun coming down at the end of 1:06:37.480 --> 1:06:39.680 the Masters, And that's really like the first you hear 1:06:39.720 --> 1:06:43.560 about Nicholas is Watson threw him out there the broadcasters 1:06:43.560 --> 1:06:45.920 aren't talking about him. They are talking, Oh, there's Jackie's 1:06:45.960 --> 1:06:48.760 four back, but it's not mentioned Jet. 1:06:48.800 --> 1:06:53.360 There's forty five minutes into the three hours. Uh, they 1:06:53.440 --> 1:06:58.440 still had yet to show a Nicholas full swing. Scrict, 1:07:00.000 --> 1:07:02.720 I've only seen putts, and the first full swing we 1:07:02.800 --> 1:07:04.120 got is on the twelfth hole. 1:07:06.440 --> 1:07:08.360 I have thirty eight minutes in the broadcast is when 1:07:08.360 --> 1:07:11.200 he makes the birdie on ten, where they're finally like, well, 1:07:11.200 --> 1:07:12.400 we won't count him out yet. 1:07:12.400 --> 1:07:15.280 It's on this back nine. The bear is stalking. 1:07:17.120 --> 1:07:19.640 That was Bob Murphy. He goes in the bear, the 1:07:19.680 --> 1:07:23.680 bear's stalking. He says, come on, jack smile. He tells 1:07:23.720 --> 1:07:25.960 him to smile. Bob is in like a fifty footer 1:07:26.080 --> 1:07:28.280 on ten, and he goes, we won't come him out 1:07:28.280 --> 1:07:30.600 of this back nine. And that's yeah, forty minutes in. 1:07:31.040 --> 1:07:35.080 So we'll start there, or we're far from starting, but 1:07:35.120 --> 1:07:37.479 we'll start in the kind of go through the back nine. Andy, 1:07:37.520 --> 1:07:39.240 what were we gonna say, jump in you want to see? 1:07:39.960 --> 1:07:41.360 Yeah, I was just gonna keep going. 1:07:41.400 --> 1:07:45.360 Obviously he buggies twelve, but we don't get to see 1:07:45.360 --> 1:07:48.120 the thirteenth tea shot and and like I looked to 1:07:48.560 --> 1:07:52.200 where he was, and it's like, how did how. 1:07:52.040 --> 1:07:53.960 Did he get there? I want to see that t 1:07:54.120 --> 1:07:55.200 shot because he's like. 1:07:55.240 --> 1:07:58.800 Literally two yards from the creek on a dead flat line, 1:07:59.440 --> 1:08:03.080 Like I don't I don't think you can get there anymore. 1:08:03.200 --> 1:08:07.200 I don't think it's possible for a modern player to 1:08:07.320 --> 1:08:09.960 get to that position because you have to look at 1:08:10.000 --> 1:08:15.080 so much and now there are trees that overhang if 1:08:15.120 --> 1:08:16.480 you get that far left. 1:08:17.120 --> 1:08:20.080 One of the best things is he obviously rolls in 1:08:20.120 --> 1:08:21.840 the putt on nine to ten, and we see it 1:08:21.880 --> 1:08:25.680 eleven and we see those putts and he's walking to 1:08:25.680 --> 1:08:28.880 the twelfth tee. Like when he makes that ten, that's 1:08:28.920 --> 1:08:31.040 like a fifty foot that's the loudest word you hear 1:08:31.080 --> 1:08:33.439 in the broadcast to that point. You hear it down 1:08:33.439 --> 1:08:35.920 on fifteen when they're showing Crenshaw and somebody else they 1:08:35.960 --> 1:08:40.080 forget down on maybe has on fifteen so loud. But again, 1:08:40.120 --> 1:08:42.800 these are just like hard cuts to putts all of 1:08:42.800 --> 1:08:45.120 a sudden going in. Then they get to him. We 1:08:45.120 --> 1:08:47.519 finally makes one to eleven and he's walking off up 1:08:47.680 --> 1:08:51.400 that famous walk to the twelfth tee and Melneck I 1:08:51.400 --> 1:08:53.600 think is on the call. He goes it's Jack Nicholas, 1:08:53.920 --> 1:08:56.040 the Man of the Hour, and they haven't shown him 1:08:56.040 --> 1:08:57.720 at all. He's the man of the hour, Man the Hour. 1:08:57.800 --> 1:09:00.439 They've showed two three putts, the man of the Hour. 1:09:00.520 --> 1:09:03.400 It's been eleven years since he's done that fifth Green Jacket. 1:09:03.760 --> 1:09:05.840 Is that they haven't showed him. They don't. They said, 1:09:05.880 --> 1:09:08.439 that's it. They shows Bogie at twelve and then all 1:09:08.439 --> 1:09:10.479 of a sudden, he's hitting in thirteenth Fairway. It's a 1:09:10.479 --> 1:09:11.840 man of the hour and they haven't shown him. He 1:09:11.880 --> 1:09:14.880 made the turn four back. He made the turn. So 1:09:14.880 --> 1:09:18.760 it wasn't like it's as as things often are with 1:09:18.800 --> 1:09:21.599 the gusta. It moves, it happens real fast. It's moves slow. 1:09:21.720 --> 1:09:24.559 It's moving slow and then fast all of a sudden, right, 1:09:24.680 --> 1:09:27.519 and and that's where it felt like, all of a sudden, 1:09:27.520 --> 1:09:29.000 he was the Man of the Hour on the eleventh 1:09:29.000 --> 1:09:31.519 tee or the twelfth t and we've barely seen it 1:09:31.560 --> 1:09:34.519 and now it's like this all it's the greatest show 1:09:34.560 --> 1:09:40.280 ever within from you know, essentially twelve to seventeen, Hija. 1:09:40.479 --> 1:09:44.120 Can I interject some some literal breaking news into this podcast? 1:09:44.120 --> 1:09:47.880 Oh gosh, yeah, sure, Phil Michelson will not play the 1:09:47.920 --> 1:09:52.960 Masters what due to UH will be out for an 1:09:53.000 --> 1:09:56.519 extended period of time as my my family continues to 1:09:56.560 --> 1:09:58.000 navigate a personal. 1:09:57.560 --> 1:10:01.479 Health Matter's too bad? All right, well, I can't. 1:10:01.520 --> 1:10:02.559 Brendan can't write Phil this. 1:10:02.680 --> 1:10:05.280 I was going to say, DP, you're all find a way. 1:10:05.320 --> 1:10:08.120 Maybe we could still find a way. It's all right 1:10:08.280 --> 1:10:10.000 where we're. 1:10:09.280 --> 1:10:12.519 The bastards the first Masters without Phil and Tiger and. 1:10:13.439 --> 1:10:14.679 God thirty years. 1:10:14.880 --> 1:10:16.880 I was just say so Phil didn't play in twenty 1:10:16.880 --> 1:10:19.519 two because of that the ship Neck book it just 1:10:19.560 --> 1:10:21.920 came out. Did Tiger miss that? I think Tiger might 1:10:21.920 --> 1:10:25.680 have missed that because of the rash. Yeah, I think 1:10:25.720 --> 1:10:29.360 that's yeah, maybe right, that's wrong, Okay, anyway, could be wrong? 1:10:30.160 --> 1:10:30.519 All right? 1:10:31.320 --> 1:10:31.840 Can I read? 1:10:31.920 --> 1:10:34.080 I forgot when we were talking to invaders. I wanted 1:10:34.080 --> 1:10:37.479 to read this whole sequence. Uh that Ben Wright is 1:10:37.479 --> 1:10:41.080 the first person, Ben Right, who's English or maybe Scottish, 1:10:41.080 --> 1:10:44.320 I don't know, apologies if he's Scottish or whatever. But 1:10:44.360 --> 1:10:46.679 he says when that graphic was up there, he says, 1:10:46.960 --> 1:10:50.120 there you see how these invaders have been truded in 1:10:50.160 --> 1:10:51.400 the last eight years. 1:10:51.720 --> 1:10:56.920 And Wiskoff says, Ben, are you an invader? Says, yeah, 1:10:57.000 --> 1:11:02.120 you could say that, yeah, we like you, we like you. 1:11:02.200 --> 1:11:07.280 Ben Wescott's way of basically like kind of not giving 1:11:07.320 --> 1:11:10.240 a ship but kind of also like giving really insightful 1:11:10.320 --> 1:11:13.679 things is well, who knows, I mean, elf, I knew 1:11:13.680 --> 1:11:15.280 how he thought I would have won this tournament. 1:11:15.320 --> 1:11:16.719 Like this is a great delivery. 1:11:17.320 --> 1:11:20.439 That's pretty good. Where should we go tonight? All right, 1:11:20.479 --> 1:11:23.160 we've talked about he's playing with Lyle who's the Open champ? 1:11:23.600 --> 1:11:24.000 Go ahead. 1:11:24.439 --> 1:11:25.200 I think we're. 1:11:25.080 --> 1:11:29.719 Generally in the in the sphere of this happening, and 1:11:30.040 --> 1:11:33.120 to me, this is the standout moment outside of the 1:11:33.160 --> 1:11:38.639 wind and it it hits the theme you're talking about 1:11:38.680 --> 1:11:41.360 where this telecast like you just don't see anything. 1:11:44.120 --> 1:11:45.599 All of a sudden, out. 1:11:45.360 --> 1:11:48.200 Of nowhere, Corey Pavin comes into our lives and he's 1:11:48.240 --> 1:11:55.479 described as red hot Corey Pavin. Red hot Corey Paven 1:11:55.680 --> 1:12:01.519 is on the sixteenth t. He's six under. He can win, 1:12:04.200 --> 1:12:05.160 so he's three back. 1:12:05.960 --> 1:12:08.760 He eagles fifteen. They showed the putt where eagle. I 1:12:08.800 --> 1:12:12.400 think they showed that right, the eagle in fifteen eagle. 1:12:13.880 --> 1:12:19.000 Still this he disappears and while he's on the tee 1:12:19.040 --> 1:12:22.880 they're talking about, oh, he's really struggled with sixteen this week. 1:12:23.920 --> 1:12:25.919 He's made a double in two bogies. 1:12:26.000 --> 1:12:29.200 He's four over on sixteen through three days. 1:12:29.800 --> 1:12:32.760 That's hard to do. I mean, come on, I. 1:12:32.680 --> 1:12:35.160 Mean it's one hundred and sixty yard part three. 1:12:36.320 --> 1:12:38.880 I will note while we're on this, Norman still holds 1:12:38.880 --> 1:12:41.040 the record. He's six under for the week on par threes, 1:12:41.120 --> 1:12:43.519 which is still the record, which is that's pretty stout 1:12:43.600 --> 1:12:46.280 for the part threes August, Yeah, which is six under, 1:12:46.439 --> 1:12:50.160 still the record. But but Corey Pavin was not based 1:12:50.160 --> 1:12:51.080 on sixteen alone. 1:12:51.200 --> 1:12:54.240 Go ahead, So so peven you know, you think about it, 1:12:54.560 --> 1:12:55.800 he's if he just plays it. 1:12:55.920 --> 1:12:58.600 Even you know, this sounded unreasonable. This is one of 1:12:58.640 --> 1:12:59.920 the easier holes on the golf. 1:13:00.280 --> 1:13:04.000 So even he's at ten under and he gets on 1:13:04.120 --> 1:13:07.479 this t on the tee and he is maybe the worst, 1:13:07.520 --> 1:13:09.960 one of the worst shots I've seen on sixteen, like 1:13:10.680 --> 1:13:13.280 lands in the middle of the lake is and what 1:13:13.360 --> 1:13:13.960 amazed me. 1:13:14.320 --> 1:13:17.760 So I think he made another double there if I 1:13:17.760 --> 1:13:20.880 had to guess. So he goes to six over on 1:13:21.040 --> 1:13:25.200 sixteen for the week. Yeah, and this is a top 1:13:25.240 --> 1:13:31.280 ten player in the world, and he sits down and 1:13:31.360 --> 1:13:34.640 the camera just state I loved the shot of like 1:13:34.760 --> 1:13:37.720 the hole the shot, but then also the camera on 1:13:37.760 --> 1:13:42.680 the guy's face for part three pretty great. Yeah, the 1:13:43.160 --> 1:13:47.960 picture they hang with him, they sit down on this, betch. 1:13:47.680 --> 1:13:50.040 The picture of picture is kind of incredible, Like, I 1:13:50.280 --> 1:13:53.000 don't know that we've actually advanced technology enough to where 1:13:53.360 --> 1:13:56.160 the picture of picture wouldn't be an incredible like thing 1:13:56.200 --> 1:13:58.000 to bring back and. 1:13:57.920 --> 1:13:58.400 Look at this. 1:13:58.479 --> 1:14:01.000 He's got his head down on a bench, there's a 1:14:01.040 --> 1:14:02.160 ball washer. 1:14:03.760 --> 1:14:06.439 And his hands are buried and they just hang on 1:14:06.479 --> 1:14:09.719 this all the way through forty seconds. 1:14:09.760 --> 1:14:11.920 But you know what, like, what do you think about it? 1:14:11.960 --> 1:14:14.360 If you're the what does he unight in the world 1:14:14.400 --> 1:14:14.920 at the time? 1:14:15.560 --> 1:14:16.479 Yeah, and you just. 1:14:16.520 --> 1:14:19.160 Know that you're about to play this this whole six. 1:14:20.840 --> 1:14:21.400 For the week. 1:14:22.160 --> 1:14:23.719 I think this would be your reaction. 1:14:25.479 --> 1:14:29.080 I mean, Andy, the shot lands in the middle of 1:14:29.120 --> 1:14:31.439 the pond, I mean we're not talking. It hits the bank, 1:14:31.520 --> 1:14:32.640 it comes back. 1:14:33.560 --> 1:14:34.599 Just get at it long. 1:14:35.200 --> 1:14:37.720 If you look very closely here on the YouTube, you 1:14:37.720 --> 1:14:40.960 can see the ripples from where the ball lands. It's 1:14:41.280 --> 1:14:42.320 in the middle of nowhere. 1:14:42.400 --> 1:14:44.800 I mean it came up twenty yards short. 1:14:45.439 --> 1:14:49.240 What I love about the camera work here is that, yes, 1:14:49.280 --> 1:14:52.320 it's forty seconds but like they hang on him even 1:14:52.360 --> 1:14:54.680 as they're going to commercial break and they pull up 1:14:54.680 --> 1:14:55.680 the full leaderboard. 1:14:55.680 --> 1:14:58.200 I wish I had a screenshot of this, and they. 1:14:58.479 --> 1:15:01.639 Keep the picture in picture them above the little leaderboard, 1:15:01.680 --> 1:15:04.160 so you can see him suffer for just a little 1:15:04.200 --> 1:15:05.599 bit longer until the commercial. 1:15:06.200 --> 1:15:09.080 Fifty three seconds he and Mark the Cumber make eagles 1:15:09.120 --> 1:15:10.560 on fifteen, and then all of a sudden they're in 1:15:10.600 --> 1:15:11.200 the broadcast. 1:15:11.800 --> 1:15:15.720 This is the issue with the with the the constant 1:15:15.760 --> 1:15:18.639 show more shots, show more shots, show more shots, show 1:15:18.680 --> 1:15:22.719 more shots, Like I want less pre shot and more 1:15:22.800 --> 1:15:26.040 post shot because. 1:15:25.760 --> 1:15:27.560 I get this on a live broadcast. Andy, So what 1:15:27.600 --> 1:15:28.400 you're saying. 1:15:28.880 --> 1:15:33.760 This is like the the thing yeah that like you 1:15:33.920 --> 1:15:38.439 miss like this is competition. This is tournament golf in 1:15:38.520 --> 1:15:43.120 a nutshell. This is this guy who knows that he's 1:15:43.160 --> 1:15:46.479 played this whole like a twenty five handicap this week, 1:15:46.840 --> 1:15:50.080 and that's why he's not gonna win the Masters. 1:15:50.520 --> 1:15:52.120 He's I think it was one shot out of the 1:15:52.200 --> 1:15:55.320 lead at the after the eagle, right he and McCumber. 1:15:56.240 --> 1:15:58.000 Good stuff, good stuff. 1:15:58.360 --> 1:15:59.760 Another can we tell one more element? 1:15:59.760 --> 1:16:01.479 You brought it up here, Brendan the because I have 1:16:01.479 --> 1:16:05.160 a pick of this the interviewing players before the round 1:16:05.760 --> 1:16:08.600 to talk about the round to come is kind of 1:16:08.600 --> 1:16:10.479 a cool thing. Like you mentioned the Watson one they 1:16:10.520 --> 1:16:12.880 did it, and Greg Norman one here I have a 1:16:12.920 --> 1:16:15.840 picture of Like what a handsome motherfucker he was back 1:16:16.040 --> 1:16:21.240 like this, absolutely like vibing and just like in such 1:16:21.280 --> 1:16:23.439 a good mood, like, hey, you know like some masters 1:16:23.479 --> 1:16:26.439 that you know, this this tournament hadn't really made him 1:16:26.439 --> 1:16:29.439 suffer that much yet. You know, he'd finished fourth once 1:16:29.479 --> 1:16:31.559 previously but wasn't really in contention, but this is the 1:16:31.600 --> 1:16:34.280 first time it will really hurt. And I just I 1:16:34.320 --> 1:16:36.840 kind of love getting the early insight before they go 1:16:37.000 --> 1:16:39.360 tee off, Like how how much would you have liked 1:16:39.400 --> 1:16:41.439 to see Like I think maybe did Bryson do one 1:16:41.439 --> 1:16:43.919 of these? You know, Rory obviously did not interdeing interview 1:16:44.360 --> 1:16:46.479 before the round or whatever. But it's like you get 1:16:46.520 --> 1:16:48.280 a little bit of like an insight into how the 1:16:48.280 --> 1:16:50.880 golfers are thinking and feeling before they go out and 1:16:50.920 --> 1:16:52.520 can't talk for five hours. 1:16:53.520 --> 1:16:57.479 And then yeah, I don't think that is people will 1:16:57.760 --> 1:16:59.439 agree to do this stuff anymore. 1:17:00.160 --> 1:17:02.120 A funny anecdote. 1:17:02.400 --> 1:17:06.720 I'm going to redact names just to you know, not 1:17:06.840 --> 1:17:09.960 to get in anybody in trouble here. But I you know, 1:17:10.040 --> 1:17:13.360 I was talking with a European tour player that played, 1:17:13.840 --> 1:17:16.559 you know, in this era, and he was telling me. 1:17:16.600 --> 1:17:19.760 He told me a story about I think it was 1:17:20.600 --> 1:17:24.799 is so Norman was dating a very very attractive person 1:17:25.040 --> 1:17:28.439 at the time, and he had played poorly and this 1:17:28.560 --> 1:17:32.760 woman was coming to meet him at this euro Tour 1:17:32.800 --> 1:17:36.679 event and Norman kind of had thrown like a little 1:17:36.720 --> 1:17:41.320 temper tantrum and left the tournament early before this woman 1:17:41.360 --> 1:17:44.960 that he was seeing arrived and she got there and 1:17:44.960 --> 1:17:48.160 and she was like where is he? And there everyone's like, oh, 1:17:48.200 --> 1:17:52.080 he left, you know. And she had traveled to this 1:17:52.160 --> 1:17:55.760 event and apparently she had turned turned in saw Sev 1:17:56.240 --> 1:17:59.719 and said, oh, he'll do and went off with Seve. 1:18:02.040 --> 1:18:05.840 Incredible, pretty good, good stuff that is not in the 1:18:05.880 --> 1:18:07.960 broadcast of the broadcast. 1:18:08.120 --> 1:18:11.320 That's just an anecdotal that jogged my memory when he said, 1:18:11.360 --> 1:18:14.720 it's an handsome mfor the uh that interview he talks 1:18:14.760 --> 1:18:15.679 about Norman before. 1:18:15.720 --> 1:18:17.479 He's like, I'm longer than everybody. Like, if I can 1:18:17.560 --> 1:18:19.519 hit a three or four iron to fifteen, I'm gonna 1:18:19.520 --> 1:18:21.400 push on the gas and try to do it. Instead 1:18:21.400 --> 1:18:23.080 of hitting a one or a two iron. 1:18:22.880 --> 1:18:23.720 And one or two. 1:18:23.760 --> 1:18:26.439 I wrote that quote down to Brendon, like, all these 1:18:26.479 --> 1:18:29.000 guys are carrying two irons at this point because that 1:18:29.240 --> 1:18:31.840 is like the equivalent of a five wood or a 1:18:32.120 --> 1:18:33.479 you know, a hybrid or whatever. 1:18:33.320 --> 1:18:35.720 Which is that's where the volatility comes in. You have 1:18:35.760 --> 1:18:37.280 to hit a two iron sometimes. 1:18:37.720 --> 1:18:41.759 The shot of when Crenshaw hit that that three wood, 1:18:42.000 --> 1:18:45.080 the angle of the camera was so good because it 1:18:45.200 --> 1:18:46.880 showed how. 1:18:46.840 --> 1:18:50.240 Freaking dip deep the three wood was. Then just hitting 1:18:50.320 --> 1:18:51.600 like how deep the face was. 1:18:51.680 --> 1:18:55.720 It's like, oh my god, that's timir fuel. 1:18:55.960 --> 1:18:57.720 You know what I'm thinking to any during that is 1:18:57.760 --> 1:19:00.240 like he doesn't have a track man to tell him 1:19:00.240 --> 1:19:02.120 that he knows that three would goes two hundred and 1:19:02.120 --> 1:19:03.320 thirty nine yards whatever. 1:19:03.560 --> 1:19:05.760 He just has to play that on feel like he 1:19:05.880 --> 1:19:07.080 has to trust. 1:19:07.200 --> 1:19:10.120 I've hitting the shot before I know it's gonna go, 1:19:10.200 --> 1:19:12.479 and it's well, yeah, this is how you swing a 1:19:12.520 --> 1:19:13.000 golf club. 1:19:13.040 --> 1:19:13.559 Let's do it. 1:19:14.240 --> 1:19:16.400 This is not meant to be a humble brag on 1:19:16.600 --> 1:19:22.640 multiple pieces here, but like when I played Augusta in 1:19:22.720 --> 1:19:27.280 the media thing, I played with persimmon and basically seventies 1:19:27.320 --> 1:19:32.880 blades and on fifteen. I pumped, I pummel the drive 1:19:33.840 --> 1:19:36.920 and I got into the spot and I. 1:19:36.840 --> 1:19:39.879 Stood over a foe iron, a four iron butter knife. 1:19:40.000 --> 1:19:42.160 So this would have been what Norman was looking at, 1:19:42.200 --> 1:19:43.360 not what other guys were. 1:19:43.400 --> 1:19:45.920 And I was playing a solid core golf ball, so 1:19:46.040 --> 1:19:49.680 that's you know where, and I'm I'm standing over this 1:19:49.800 --> 1:19:52.559 ball and looking at that green with a fore iron, 1:19:52.640 --> 1:19:55.639 and I was like, oh my god, like I have 1:19:55.720 --> 1:20:01.000 to hit this so freaking good, like so good, Like 1:20:01.080 --> 1:20:03.680 it's a scary green to hit a wedge in two like, 1:20:04.160 --> 1:20:07.320 but hitting a three wood or a one iron or 1:20:07.400 --> 1:20:10.439 two like, no, I don't want anything to do. Like 1:20:10.520 --> 1:20:12.960 I kind of get how chip back laid up in 1:20:13.840 --> 1:20:16.800 a way, it is like a It's it's a proposition 1:20:16.800 --> 1:20:19.519 where you're like, okay, like if I don't hit this 1:20:19.800 --> 1:20:22.000 dead flush, it's going. 1:20:21.880 --> 1:20:23.720 To be a very bad result. 1:20:24.120 --> 1:20:26.479 And I feel like that is like I don't know, 1:20:26.640 --> 1:20:28.640 it's something you watch this and it's like, uh, this 1:20:28.800 --> 1:20:30.080 is It's just not the same. 1:20:30.320 --> 1:20:32.599 It's not even close to the same game anymore. 1:20:33.200 --> 1:20:35.559 Rory obviously hit a seven iron, not the diminute. It's 1:20:35.560 --> 1:20:38.240 not diminishing his shot visa the eighty six shots. But 1:20:38.280 --> 1:20:40.320 that heat a seven iron last year. 1:20:40.560 --> 1:20:42.719 And they the t forty yards back. 1:20:42.840 --> 1:20:45.799 Yeah, yeah, it's crazy that just some of the irons 1:20:45.760 --> 1:20:47.479 these guys are hitting. Of course, you know. 1:20:48.720 --> 1:20:53.280 I heard yesterday that you know, certain companies don't believe 1:20:53.360 --> 1:20:55.640 that that distance is an issue. 1:20:56.520 --> 1:21:01.599 Speaking of equipment, Speaking of equipment, the twelve pole. Melnick's 1:21:01.640 --> 1:21:03.559 on the call is the first time where we get 1:21:03.560 --> 1:21:07.639 a chuckle. He's chuckling about the comical oversized blade putter 1:21:08.240 --> 1:21:10.479 that Jack and I got a screenshot at, Like it's 1:21:10.600 --> 1:21:15.080 comically large, this giant jumbo head of a blade putter. 1:21:15.600 --> 1:21:17.719 And we say, truth be no, and this is Melanick. 1:21:17.800 --> 1:21:20.040 Nicholas's vision is not as good as it used to be. 1:21:20.600 --> 1:21:23.520 Jackie's helping him read the greens. He's got that oversized 1:21:23.560 --> 1:21:27.000 blade putter as Jackie reads the greens for him, and 1:21:27.120 --> 1:21:29.439 why Scotff will talk about it later. At sixteen, he's like, 1:21:29.680 --> 1:21:32.240 you know, jack can't see anymore. He doesn't even probably 1:21:32.280 --> 1:21:34.599 know the ball, you know, almost went in the hole 1:21:34.640 --> 1:21:36.840 and is sitting three feet from the hole. At sixteen. 1:21:37.240 --> 1:21:39.360 He all he says is, you know, be right, He 1:21:39.439 --> 1:21:41.600 says to Jackie, it is in the air. But he 1:21:41.760 --> 1:21:44.360 like Weiscov's like he can't see you can't see the 1:21:44.400 --> 1:21:48.080 green anymore. But I love the jumbo putter glimpse we 1:21:48.120 --> 1:21:49.720 get a yeah, well pretty. 1:21:49.439 --> 1:21:53.360 Good McGregor's ZT response. They sold three hundred three to 1:21:53.400 --> 1:21:57.559 four hundred thousand of these in the year after this masters. 1:21:57.720 --> 1:22:00.200 I always remember Rick Ratt described it as like the 1:22:00.240 --> 1:22:01.920 attachment to a vacuum cleaner. 1:22:02.760 --> 1:22:04.000 That was the size of it was. 1:22:05.040 --> 1:22:08.720 The amazing thing is like if a guy we see 1:22:08.760 --> 1:22:11.760 this over the history and it's probably becoming less and 1:22:11.840 --> 1:22:17.400 less prevalent. Remember when Zach Johnson won with a Seymour putter, how. 1:22:17.479 --> 1:22:18.880 That went like nuts too. 1:22:19.680 --> 1:22:23.000 It's like the eye alignment thing, like where the shaft 1:22:23.080 --> 1:22:27.320 covers the red dot, and like you know, Seyboar putters 1:22:27.320 --> 1:22:30.160 became this huge thing, you know, because of it. It's 1:22:30.240 --> 1:22:33.600 it's it's amazing how like somebody using something in a 1:22:33.600 --> 1:22:37.400 major could just completely change the trajectory of an otherwise 1:22:37.720 --> 1:22:39.920 piece of equipment that people would have been like, who 1:22:39.960 --> 1:22:40.680 would use that? 1:22:41.200 --> 1:22:45.840 VJ saying when he won the putter, the weird cutter, Yeah, 1:22:46.320 --> 1:22:47.480 it never compromsed. 1:22:47.520 --> 1:22:48.799 Blackened great one. 1:22:49.080 --> 1:22:53.280 Designed by like a concert pianist who had no experience 1:22:53.280 --> 1:22:57.200 whatsoever in designing clubs, and it like the website melted 1:22:57.240 --> 1:22:58.240 down afterwards. 1:22:58.640 --> 1:23:00.800 It was like, it's like off set. So that's like 1:23:00.960 --> 1:23:02.840 the chavy you see me on the thing. 1:23:02.880 --> 1:23:04.760 The chef comes down and then the head of it 1:23:04.800 --> 1:23:07.120 is like behind the ball, so it like forces you 1:23:07.160 --> 1:23:08.559 to keep your hands forward, w whatever. 1:23:08.680 --> 1:23:10.360 It just it's wild. 1:23:10.720 --> 1:23:13.320 Was it was it David Thoms who used the yes putter. 1:23:15.880 --> 1:23:18.280 It was Tom's, but Days had a moment the yes putter. 1:23:19.000 --> 1:23:20.960 They had a putt. They had a moment for sure. 1:23:21.080 --> 1:23:24.160 It was a major moment to David Tom's The seven 1:23:24.200 --> 1:23:27.920 wood was like a big you know thing from the Toms. 1:23:27.600 --> 1:23:31.000 Win yep, okay. So he's the man of the hour, 1:23:31.040 --> 1:23:33.720 always seen her three putts. He Bogie's twelve. We talked 1:23:33.720 --> 1:23:36.439 about his chip, like you can't ship the dog his 1:23:36.520 --> 1:23:39.400 short game. He doesn't hit a good ship there and 1:23:39.400 --> 1:23:42.519 and misses the putt, save par saving putt. That's the 1:23:42.520 --> 1:23:43.599 only shot he'll drop. 1:23:44.360 --> 1:23:47.559 My favorite Nicholas humble brag is that he some people 1:23:47.600 --> 1:23:50.080 talk like that after his career was over, We're like, no, 1:23:50.120 --> 1:23:51.880 you won't really renound for your short game, and he 1:23:51.960 --> 1:23:53.800 was like, what you know, I didn't miss a lot 1:23:53.800 --> 1:23:55.479 of greens. So you know, if I had I miss 1:23:55.479 --> 1:23:57.040 a lot of greens, I would have practiced my short 1:23:57.040 --> 1:23:57.360 game more. 1:23:57.360 --> 1:23:58.439 I would have been better at it. 1:23:58.800 --> 1:24:04.240 Yeah yeah, ah, that's a good one. So he's he 1:24:04.320 --> 1:24:06.800 becomes the focus, I'd say at twelve. All right, of 1:24:06.880 --> 1:24:09.719 course they don't shows t shot at thirteen, shows approach 1:24:09.720 --> 1:24:12.800 shot at thirteen it sticks up like a great approach shot. 1:24:12.840 --> 1:24:14.559 I didn't write down the club. Was it like a 1:24:15.479 --> 1:24:18.200 six iron four iron somewhere in there? They weren't like 1:24:18.280 --> 1:24:20.400 having to hit lumber. Some of those guys were not. 1:24:20.680 --> 1:24:22.320 Like Watson hit one of the biggest drives of the 1:24:22.439 --> 1:24:25.439 day at thirteen, hitting like a mid iron in he 1:24:25.520 --> 1:24:28.000 hits a great shot, but it sticks compared to Sevey 1:24:28.479 --> 1:24:31.720 Lands different trajectory, runs right up to the hole that 1:24:31.760 --> 1:24:34.800 great like back right pin, and Sevey makes an eagle. 1:24:34.800 --> 1:24:36.920 But where's where's Jack has to grind for a two 1:24:37.000 --> 1:24:38.320 putt thirty? Yeah? 1:24:38.400 --> 1:24:40.519 Do you want to talk about Sevi's thing now? 1:24:40.560 --> 1:24:43.599 Because I eagle at thirteen, so I have a visual 1:24:43.600 --> 1:24:47.400 aid of this too awesome shot by Seve takes the slope, 1:24:48.200 --> 1:24:52.120 trickles down towards the pin and he does the big 1:24:52.200 --> 1:24:55.240 No No of essentially like at this point he's gonna 1:24:55.240 --> 1:24:57.840 make this eagle putt and have a three shot lead 1:24:57.880 --> 1:25:00.559 in the Masters, and he shakes hands with his brother 1:25:00.720 --> 1:25:04.080 as they're walking up thirteenth Fairway and then takes his 1:25:04.080 --> 1:25:06.960 hat off and waves it to the crowd. It's an 1:25:06.960 --> 1:25:10.320 incredible like celebration of like just like I got this shit, 1:25:10.439 --> 1:25:13.040 like we are we are cooking. And of course it 1:25:13.120 --> 1:25:15.840 goes very wrong later in a few minutes, but I 1:25:15.920 --> 1:25:18.960 just love the image of him shaking hands with them. 1:25:19.200 --> 1:25:21.400 I think it's Vicente is his brother as they kind 1:25:21.400 --> 1:25:22.800 of look at each other. He's said to be putting 1:25:22.840 --> 1:25:24.599 his arm around him and walking up the fairway. 1:25:25.120 --> 1:25:27.080 I just watching the whole thing. 1:25:27.160 --> 1:25:29.559 One of my takeaways I didn't write this down, was 1:25:29.680 --> 1:25:32.760 just like how much more expressive the players were with 1:25:32.800 --> 1:25:36.000 their caddies, and like, how much more like he after 1:25:36.080 --> 1:25:38.720 Norman made Birdie on seventeen. You just see him like 1:25:39.000 --> 1:25:41.720 do this like big axail and he's just like, you know, 1:25:41.800 --> 1:25:44.760 he's like walking to the next tee like pumped up. 1:25:44.880 --> 1:25:47.840 Like it's like you just don't you know, like these 1:25:47.880 --> 1:25:49.720 players learn to just be robots. 1:25:50.120 --> 1:25:53.040 Yeah, yeah, I mean Jack's considered dry. He's like cackling 1:25:53.120 --> 1:25:56.000 walking off the sixteenth green as I think he realized 1:25:56.000 --> 1:25:58.759 it's the good fortune and how incredible this is that's happening. 1:25:58.920 --> 1:26:06.000 He's like cackling as he walks off sixteen. So real quick, yeah. 1:26:05.000 --> 1:26:10.439 On this so Seve bird eagles thirteen. So at this 1:26:10.640 --> 1:26:15.800 point Seve is nine under through thirteen and Jack is 1:26:15.840 --> 1:26:18.400 on fifteen t at five under. 1:26:18.680 --> 1:26:21.880 It's four back with four to play for him. 1:26:22.200 --> 1:26:26.559 Yes, also a quick note in here that I would 1:26:26.560 --> 1:26:27.200 be reversed. 1:26:27.880 --> 1:26:29.920 Payne Stewart makes an appearance around here. 1:26:30.200 --> 1:26:32.240 He did. Yeah, it was incredible. 1:26:31.840 --> 1:26:34.680 And they're like he's already missed two punts inside of 1:26:34.720 --> 1:26:35.519 two feet. 1:26:35.840 --> 1:26:38.960 Yes, hey, drive. 1:26:38.520 --> 1:26:40.600 By on Paine Stewart. 1:26:41.800 --> 1:26:44.639 And then like one are the three shots they show 1:26:44.720 --> 1:26:48.240 a Payte Stuart. He misses like a three footer that 1:26:48.400 --> 1:26:49.280 was on seventeen. 1:26:49.320 --> 1:26:51.200 I think it was. I think it was just like, 1:26:51.280 --> 1:26:54.080 honestly three feet, not more than three feet. It was 1:26:54.120 --> 1:26:56.799 ben right because we took we go to the toorally 1:26:56.920 --> 1:27:00.360 elegant pain Steward, but we were told he is already 1:27:00.400 --> 1:27:03.880 missed two butts inside of two feet. That's it, that's 1:27:03.920 --> 1:27:06.200 all the pain Stewart appears, and then he misses the 1:27:06.240 --> 1:27:07.840 three a. 1:27:07.880 --> 1:27:11.080 Measure for Do you guys know where pain Stewart finished 1:27:11.080 --> 1:27:11.759 in this tournament? 1:27:11.920 --> 1:27:16.200 No, he finished eighth, top ten and this is the 1:27:16.360 --> 1:27:19.040 one ten second thing we see of him was just 1:27:19.280 --> 1:27:20.280 yacking the butt. 1:27:20.400 --> 1:27:23.120 I mean he seemed to be in a really bad mood. 1:27:23.600 --> 1:27:26.160 Yes, I mean right said he could have been measured 1:27:26.160 --> 1:27:29.480 for a jacket had those gone in the two footers. 1:27:29.520 --> 1:27:32.480 And then he misses another one at seventeen. This sartorial, 1:27:32.840 --> 1:27:38.320 sartorially elegant pain Stewart. So Seve makes eagle right now, 1:27:38.360 --> 1:27:41.559 they say it's Seve's masters to lose. When he's four 1:27:41.640 --> 1:27:47.400 up on Jack, two up on kite and cruising as 1:27:47.439 --> 1:27:50.439 we go. Jack's on the do we need anything to 1:27:50.479 --> 1:27:54.400 add about Jack? Thirteen? He makes the birdie the bear. 1:27:54.760 --> 1:27:59.080 The bear references are just NonStop prowl the old bear. 1:27:59.160 --> 1:28:02.000 There's life in the old bear. The bear is hunting again. 1:28:02.760 --> 1:28:06.920 Ben right, Ben Wright slight line after I think the 1:28:06.960 --> 1:28:07.719 whole thing here. 1:28:08.040 --> 1:28:11.040 Yeah, so far, so well, I'll set it up when 1:28:11.080 --> 1:28:14.040 when after he makes the eagle, Brandon can describe's masters 1:28:14.000 --> 1:28:14.439 will lose. 1:28:14.479 --> 1:28:17.360 I'll just say Norman is off the stage Norman, who 1:28:17.439 --> 1:28:20.560 ends up being like the final putt, the final. 1:28:20.520 --> 1:28:23.759 Ten on kind of an underrated thing, complete terrible drive, 1:28:24.240 --> 1:28:27.439 clatters around in the trees, hits it a terrible approach 1:28:27.520 --> 1:28:30.200 into ten with a with a fore iron uh and 1:28:30.400 --> 1:28:33.360 it has chips over the green into the bunker and 1:28:33.400 --> 1:28:36.080 then makes a mess of it makes double like literally 1:28:36.120 --> 1:28:38.559 that was kind of Norman's masters in some ways, although 1:28:38.560 --> 1:28:40.120 he obviously goes it gets them fire later. 1:28:40.760 --> 1:28:43.640 I mean the tenth hole that was a disaster. 1:28:44.320 --> 1:28:47.080 Yeah, tugs it left in the trees, gets lucky, It 1:28:47.080 --> 1:28:49.160 bounces in the fairway, then tugs it left like the 1:28:49.280 --> 1:28:50.960 one place you cannot I mean, there's a lot of 1:28:50.960 --> 1:28:53.280 bad places to miss on ten, but going hard left 1:28:53.680 --> 1:28:58.120 off the green and doubles it. So you know, Norman's 1:28:58.120 --> 1:28:59.880 the main character, and then it's Sevy's the main car 1:29:00.439 --> 1:29:03.160 and then Jack like he's just sort of the old 1:29:03.200 --> 1:29:05.959 lion and they're, you know whatever. He's making some birdies 1:29:06.120 --> 1:29:08.920 and needs some disaster. He's four down with four to play. 1:29:10.000 --> 1:29:12.479 Norman's off the stage. Nicholas is on fifteen. He has 1:29:12.520 --> 1:29:15.599 two hundred yards to the pin. They say he's never 1:29:15.680 --> 1:29:19.240 needed an eagle more. Is this part of your narration, Kevin, 1:29:19.240 --> 1:29:20.479 I don't want to cut it, he said, he's never 1:29:20.520 --> 1:29:21.280 need to. 1:29:21.280 --> 1:29:23.000 Do it afterwards. You do it this part, I'll do 1:29:23.040 --> 1:29:23.840 the aftermath. 1:29:24.120 --> 1:29:26.719 There have been three eagles in the last four players, Peven, 1:29:26.800 --> 1:29:30.800 Gary Cooch and Mark McCumber. He flies into the pin 1:29:30.880 --> 1:29:33.920 and it lands pretty soft. Uh, And they say, he's 1:29:33.960 --> 1:29:36.840 got a chance. He's got a chance. Is this part 1:29:36.880 --> 1:29:38.599 of your He's got a chance, He's got a very 1:29:38.600 --> 1:29:40.200 good chance. The old Bear. 1:29:40.880 --> 1:29:42.320 Yeah, I should have wrote down the whole thing, but 1:29:42.360 --> 1:29:44.760 I have the post thing. So he rolls the putt 1:29:44.800 --> 1:29:47.080 in and this is a little bit of a controversy here, 1:29:47.120 --> 1:29:49.400 as you're hearing in a second. So Ben Wright, he's 1:29:49.400 --> 1:29:53.680 got this lovely English voice. He says, yes, sir, the 1:29:53.840 --> 1:29:58.400 battle has joined. My goodness, there's life. 1:29:58.080 --> 1:30:01.439 In the Old Bear yet, magnificent stuff. 1:30:01.840 --> 1:30:05.920 And that information will percolate back to Semi Barstetus. 1:30:07.439 --> 1:30:09.080 That's exactly what it was. And he goes to the 1:30:09.080 --> 1:30:11.439 fifteenth t where I will have to wait. That was 1:30:11.479 --> 1:30:15.000 what he said. So he did not invent. 1:30:14.800 --> 1:30:18.880 Yes, sir, yes see like this is right. Who was 1:30:18.960 --> 1:30:21.439 kind of actually bitter about this for years that and 1:30:22.200 --> 1:30:24.080 Vern actually felt a little bit guilty about it. That 1:30:24.120 --> 1:30:28.640 he said he subconsciously heard it somewhere and that he 1:30:28.760 --> 1:30:31.320 used it, but it became kind of his iconic call 1:30:31.760 --> 1:30:34.360 instead of ben Wright's saying the first thing, yes sir. 1:30:34.720 --> 1:30:37.040 Wow. So we had a yes sir for the eagle 1:30:37.720 --> 1:30:40.120 on fifteen for Jack, Yes sir for the putt from 1:30:40.200 --> 1:30:42.960 Vern on seventeen, and yes sir for Vern when Norman 1:30:43.040 --> 1:30:45.400 makes his on seventeen. Those are the three for sure. 1:30:46.720 --> 1:30:49.880 Weisskough when he's on fifteen before he makes the eagles, 1:30:49.920 --> 1:30:52.439 like he's making good swings, he's just a little too 1:30:52.439 --> 1:30:55.920 far behind. That's what he says about Jack. This is 1:30:55.960 --> 1:31:00.200 a must make. At fifteen he makes it. It was 1:31:00.240 --> 1:31:02.759 like a whole like will it situation with Danny Willett, 1:31:03.040 --> 1:31:05.920 like he kind of he was just, oh, that's nice. 1:31:06.120 --> 1:31:08.920 He's making birdies. And that's just how the masters works, right. 1:31:08.960 --> 1:31:12.439 It's slow and then it's fast really quick. I'll say, 1:31:12.439 --> 1:31:15.960 I'll leave this to you, Kevin. But when Jack makes 1:31:16.000 --> 1:31:18.360 his eagle could have been later when somebody else made 1:31:18.400 --> 1:31:21.439 their eagle. He said, eagles are becoming as common. Did 1:31:21.439 --> 1:31:24.200 you write this as his house was at your household Sparrow? 1:31:25.040 --> 1:31:27.959 The eagles are becoming as common as your household sparrow. 1:31:28.320 --> 1:31:30.600 I didn't understand that. Does everybody have a sparrow? Like, 1:31:30.640 --> 1:31:32.880 I don't understand what that means? It a bird cage? 1:31:33.000 --> 1:31:33.800 Is it outside? 1:31:34.360 --> 1:31:35.040 That was like a. 1:31:34.920 --> 1:31:37.880 Harry Potter situation where everyone's awarded an owl and you 1:31:38.000 --> 1:31:38.880 just have one around. 1:31:39.000 --> 1:31:43.760 The eagles are becoming as common as your household. All right, 1:31:43.800 --> 1:31:47.360 So that's fifteen. He birdied eagles fifteen. All of a sudden, 1:31:47.360 --> 1:31:49.479 he's four back, the two back at the time, but 1:31:49.520 --> 1:31:52.920 Sevy's still too clear kite ahead of them. All these 1:31:53.000 --> 1:31:55.200 guys are ahead of them, not all the kite kiten 1:31:55.240 --> 1:31:57.240 by stereos are ahead of them paving at the time, 1:31:57.280 --> 1:32:00.760 He's tied with for a second. All right, what do 1:32:00.800 --> 1:32:04.080 we have next? Sevy booms at three hundred yards of fifteen, 1:32:04.120 --> 1:32:06.640 and it's considered huge, like a huge. 1:32:07.080 --> 1:32:13.439 Just prime primo position, like effectively cannot screw this up, 1:32:13.479 --> 1:32:16.280 Like you know, he got into where all of a 1:32:16.320 --> 1:32:19.200 sudden he doesn't have that one iron in. He got 1:32:19.240 --> 1:32:23.240 to where Norman like effectively thought his huge advantage was 1:32:24.439 --> 1:32:31.439 Yeah another thing, just random thing. No spectators behind sixteen 1:32:31.560 --> 1:32:33.720 t Did you notice that? 1:32:34.400 --> 1:32:36.800 Uh yeah, matrons. 1:32:36.560 --> 1:32:40.160 Yeah, it's almost it's like completely Uh. You can see 1:32:40.160 --> 1:32:41.519 the camera up there, Yeah, and. 1:32:41.479 --> 1:32:43.559 You can see a grand stand which I think was 1:32:43.640 --> 1:32:45.640 actually behind maybe fourteen t. 1:32:47.800 --> 1:32:52.400 There. You know, there are obviously giant crowds by galleries, 1:32:52.439 --> 1:32:55.120 I should say by the end at eighteen. One thing 1:32:55.160 --> 1:33:00.680 I noticed was it didn't seem too dense compared you know, 1:33:00.680 --> 1:33:03.000 they obviously let a lot more people in that like ten. 1:33:03.640 --> 1:33:05.479 When Norman's on ten, there's nobody there. You can just 1:33:05.520 --> 1:33:07.320 walk up and watch the final group with a Master. 1:33:07.520 --> 1:33:10.040 I can't do that now there's I don't think there's 1:33:10.040 --> 1:33:11.840 a grand stand. I was trying to find this right 1:33:11.880 --> 1:33:16.080 of fifteen green, like there is now left of seventeen Green. 1:33:16.120 --> 1:33:18.040 It looks like there's just a big like sort of 1:33:18.120 --> 1:33:20.559 viewing hill and not the grand stand that there is 1:33:20.560 --> 1:33:24.519 on seventeen. So certainly I don't want to say there's 1:33:24.640 --> 1:33:26.600 no It was dense by the end of the end, 1:33:26.680 --> 1:33:30.040 but it just seems fewer numbers spread out farther across 1:33:30.080 --> 1:33:30.599 the course. 1:33:31.479 --> 1:33:33.679 I will say, like one of the things that anyone 1:33:33.720 --> 1:33:36.519 who's ever been to this Masters, and they talk about 1:33:36.560 --> 1:33:38.839 it later in the broadcast, is that like the roars 1:33:38.840 --> 1:33:39.759 were so loud. 1:33:39.800 --> 1:33:41.599 It was like being in a basketball game. 1:33:42.960 --> 1:33:43.120 You know. 1:33:43.200 --> 1:33:46.519 People have said, like there's never ever been louder than 1:33:46.520 --> 1:33:49.240 it was than when Nicholas was making this back nine 1:33:49.280 --> 1:33:49.880 thirty run. 1:33:50.600 --> 1:33:52.960 You called it deafening. So seventy's three hundred yards in 1:33:52.960 --> 1:33:55.320 the faraway at fifteen. We'll get to jacket sixteen here 1:33:55.360 --> 1:34:00.880 in a minute, a one position. We've talked about some 1:34:00.920 --> 1:34:03.800 of the bad shots. Paving into the middle of the 1:34:03.840 --> 1:34:07.200 pond at sixteen, I think is off the hook. When 1:34:07.280 --> 1:34:11.000 Sevey steps up to his approach shot at fifteen, just 1:34:12.280 --> 1:34:18.840 an immediate, immediate smother hook into like nowhere close middle 1:34:18.880 --> 1:34:22.559 of the pond. Uh, it's just an awful one of 1:34:22.600 --> 1:34:27.040 the great one of the great bad shots. I should say. 1:34:27.160 --> 1:34:30.200 If by by a Master's champion and would be three 1:34:30.240 --> 1:34:33.240 time champion, they say, oh, he's pulled it. He pull 1:34:33.280 --> 1:34:38.280 looked that that's destined for the water. There's some cheering. 1:34:38.680 --> 1:34:41.519 I don't want to say it's like Mullinari putting in 1:34:41.560 --> 1:34:44.320 the water at twelve. Like there was like people in 1:34:44.360 --> 1:34:46.599 the background fifteen who put their hands up and there 1:34:46.640 --> 1:34:50.679 is cheering. There's a lot of CBS covering, like trying 1:34:50.680 --> 1:34:53.439 to provide cover for the crowd saying the ever courteous. Oh, 1:34:53.479 --> 1:34:56.160 they're so courteous, the ever courteous. They say that three 1:34:56.160 --> 1:35:01.120 times about a two minute span. There is some cheering 1:35:01.160 --> 1:35:03.679 when he pull hooks it that's destined for the waters. 1:35:04.600 --> 1:35:08.040 And what does he say? The foreign invasion is reeling 1:35:08.120 --> 1:35:09.160 under the bears attack? 1:35:11.040 --> 1:35:14.920 Then right, more an invasion is reeling under the bears attack. 1:35:16.360 --> 1:35:20.759 No good an awful drop kick or just an awful 1:35:20.760 --> 1:35:24.160 pull hook into the water. What impressed me about Sevy 1:35:24.200 --> 1:35:28.920 at fifteen was he decides where to drop it, like 1:35:28.960 --> 1:35:31.280 an under two minutes. Like he's at one moment, he's 1:35:31.280 --> 1:35:33.759 with two rules officials on the edge of the water. 1:35:35.000 --> 1:35:36.360 They're like, he could drop it at the edge of 1:35:36.360 --> 1:35:38.040 the water, he could walk back to put more spin 1:35:38.120 --> 1:35:39.800 on it, he could go to the drop zone. The 1:35:39.960 --> 1:35:44.400 dude makes his decision, ball down, hits the shot all 1:35:44.400 --> 1:35:47.120 in under two minutes. And I'm talking including the pacing 1:35:47.160 --> 1:35:48.320 it back all the way. 1:35:48.640 --> 1:35:54.680 It was kind of basically yes in modern day, Yeah. 1:35:54.920 --> 1:35:57.479 I timed it up. It was one minute forty seconds 1:35:57.479 --> 1:36:00.680 from the rules official approaching it at the water and 1:36:00.720 --> 1:36:03.840 then just like looking down, going back, walking it off, 1:36:04.080 --> 1:36:05.720 hitting the shot kind of incredible. 1:36:07.280 --> 1:36:10.479 So all of this is unfolding like so quickly. Right. 1:36:10.520 --> 1:36:12.519 This is right about the point when Norman is playing 1:36:12.560 --> 1:36:15.760 thirteen and he hits it long up above thirteen, and 1:36:15.880 --> 1:36:19.960 Venturi says, yeah, lookout, oh as the ball slides down 1:36:19.960 --> 1:36:22.559 the hill, I think he can feel the green coat 1:36:22.640 --> 1:36:23.320 slipping away. 1:36:23.720 --> 1:36:25.200 It's just like boom, boom boom. 1:36:25.200 --> 1:36:28.719 We're just bouncing back and forth between all these various traumas. 1:36:28.920 --> 1:36:31.360 That back left miss and he was talking. He kept 1:36:31.400 --> 1:36:33.720 tugging it left right. He did it at seventeen, did 1:36:33.720 --> 1:36:36.240 it twice at ten? Now does it at thirteen? Approach? 1:36:36.840 --> 1:36:38.519 I did make a birdie from back there, but yeah, 1:36:38.520 --> 1:36:40.559 it's usually dead back left thirteen. 1:36:41.680 --> 1:36:46.880 Raise your hand if you haven't played against Yeah. 1:36:46.960 --> 1:36:51.960 So Jack gets to sixteen and nance it's Nancy's moment. 1:36:52.000 --> 1:36:54.439 He's a kid first Masters. He goes if anyone has 1:36:54.439 --> 1:36:57.200 ever owned this hole? It could be Jack Nicholas, who 1:36:57.280 --> 1:36:59.840 goes through his history there Berdie's when he's won his 1:37:00.040 --> 1:37:01.040 it won his Masters. 1:37:01.800 --> 1:37:02.840 Okay, I do it because I have. 1:37:02.960 --> 1:37:05.599 This is one of my favorite things in broadcast history. 1:37:05.960 --> 1:37:08.040 Please this is I'm gonna do my best dance here. 1:37:08.880 --> 1:37:12.800 Jack Nicholas knowing he must continue the charge. He has 1:37:12.840 --> 1:37:15.439 to figure that Belsaros will make at least birdie back 1:37:15.439 --> 1:37:19.040 at fifteen. If anyone as of her owned this hole, 1:37:19.479 --> 1:37:22.120 it would be Jack Nicholas. When he first won his 1:37:22.200 --> 1:37:25.280 green jacket back in nineteen sixty three, he did it 1:37:25.280 --> 1:37:28.200 with a birdie here at sixteen. And of course, who 1:37:28.200 --> 1:37:33.320 can forget nineteen seventy five, the forty foot putt. Tom Wiscoff, 1:37:33.960 --> 1:37:36.960 what's going through Jack's mind? He hasn't experienced this kind 1:37:37.000 --> 1:37:41.160 of streak in a long time. Weiscoff says, if I knew, 1:37:41.200 --> 1:37:43.240 I thought I would if I knew how he thought, 1:37:43.280 --> 1:37:46.960 I would have won this tournament, and they laughed together. No, seriously, 1:37:47.600 --> 1:37:50.240 he just gonna fire this right at the pin. He's 1:37:50.240 --> 1:37:53.679 gonna think, Jack, this is the time, right now, make 1:37:53.720 --> 1:37:56.840 this swing that you are capable of making. Stay down, 1:37:57.360 --> 1:38:00.559 accelerate through the ball, make a good off swing. 1:38:01.000 --> 1:38:02.760 Your destiny is right here. 1:38:03.640 --> 1:38:06.920 And what I love about it is west Cooff talks 1:38:06.960 --> 1:38:09.240 like this right up to the moment where Jack is 1:38:09.280 --> 1:38:11.599 about to hit the ball. I mean, we get like 1:38:12.000 --> 1:38:14.800 your destiny is right here, and it's two seconds before 1:38:15.080 --> 1:38:17.679 Jack takes a club back. After that, and then Nance 1:38:17.800 --> 1:38:20.880 just goes it's right at it, oh. 1:38:20.520 --> 1:38:24.200 My, And it's just like I love that sequence. 1:38:24.560 --> 1:38:27.360 That's one of my favorite subsequences in broadcast history because 1:38:27.360 --> 1:38:29.760 it just it builds to the moment it gives you 1:38:29.800 --> 1:38:31.719 the history, and then it lets it sort of speak 1:38:31.720 --> 1:38:32.280 for itself. 1:38:32.520 --> 1:38:35.240 He almost spins it back into the hole for an ace. 1:38:36.479 --> 1:38:38.920 It's that famous line which we're not privy to on 1:38:38.920 --> 1:38:43.880 the broadcast where you know, allegedly Jackie's caddy his son 1:38:43.960 --> 1:38:47.400 says be good and jack says it is and you 1:38:47.439 --> 1:38:48.640 can't see. 1:38:49.880 --> 1:38:51.559 Do you think that that actually happened? 1:38:51.680 --> 1:38:54.160 I mean, I don't want to you said it, but 1:38:54.200 --> 1:38:55.360 I've thought it, like is this. 1:38:55.320 --> 1:38:59.160 Really study so many times in the years to see 1:38:59.200 --> 1:39:02.240 if you can hear Field Nicholas's lips like moving he 1:39:02.320 --> 1:39:04.640 bends down to get the tee, So in theory he 1:39:04.640 --> 1:39:07.360 could have said it there, but you can't really like. 1:39:07.280 --> 1:39:10.320 There's no evidence of it that Nicholas says that. 1:39:10.600 --> 1:39:12.200 Obviously we don't have Jackie. I mean, I don't think 1:39:12.200 --> 1:39:14.400 they would like make that up, so obviously it happened. 1:39:14.640 --> 1:39:17.479 But it's just like the conspiracy person in me is like, 1:39:17.760 --> 1:39:20.200 wait a minute, like why can't I see like Nicholas 1:39:20.560 --> 1:39:22.680 saying this to Jackie, like, oh, it is, like. 1:39:23.640 --> 1:39:26.760 What one thing that's a common theme throughout this broadcast 1:39:26.840 --> 1:39:31.759 is how audible the crowd is on the broadcast, because 1:39:31.760 --> 1:39:34.040 I assume these guys I don't know actually are they 1:39:34.040 --> 1:39:36.840 in towers, like and their MIC's are picking. There's so 1:39:37.080 --> 1:39:39.479 much stuff you can hear from the crowd, Like sometimes 1:39:39.520 --> 1:39:42.479 it's just like you're hearing conversations that are just going 1:39:42.520 --> 1:39:45.360 on next to the eighteenth green. Well, when that ball 1:39:45.400 --> 1:39:48.679 is coming into sixteen, there's some guy who's like, oh, 1:39:49.040 --> 1:39:52.599 oh Jesus, like shouts it and it's almost like as 1:39:52.640 --> 1:39:55.160 loud as nance as the ball, Like it just adds 1:39:55.240 --> 1:39:58.200 to the drama of this. He's gonna make an ace. 1:39:58.320 --> 1:40:03.000 Maybe this is where you got that wisecoff line of oh, 1:40:03.040 --> 1:40:04.599 you'd mentioned the legitate earlier, and. 1:40:04.560 --> 1:40:06.720 A lot of people don't realize jack doesn't see that. 1:40:06.800 --> 1:40:10.160 Well, it probably has no idea how close up ball is. 1:40:11.760 --> 1:40:16.160 So then Nakajima, who's with Sevy on fifteen, like cannot 1:40:16.200 --> 1:40:19.519 play for like minutes because sixteen you obviously it's raining 1:40:19.600 --> 1:40:21.920 by the gallery and everybody's going nuts the whole walk 1:40:22.000 --> 1:40:24.479 up and he has to keep backing off the ball, 1:40:25.120 --> 1:40:28.479 and they said it's like Days of Old, because Watson 1:40:28.479 --> 1:40:30.600 then has a chance of his own eagle at some 1:40:30.640 --> 1:40:33.040 point in fifteen to get the seven under right after that. 1:40:33.840 --> 1:40:37.559 So right, it's like Days of Old, And so Watson 1:40:37.600 --> 1:40:40.760 versus Nicholas, they're both going for eagles. I honestly like 1:40:40.800 --> 1:40:45.599 I was many mini digression on Tom Watson. The guy 1:40:45.720 --> 1:40:48.720 won eight majors, but nothing after nineteen eighty three, and 1:40:48.760 --> 1:40:51.200 this is nineteen eighty six. He had to think Jack's 1:40:51.240 --> 1:40:54.920 ten years older. Yeah, Like Jack won a major later 1:40:55.040 --> 1:40:58.960 than Watson did, like eight majors, just so many majors, 1:40:59.040 --> 1:41:01.080 and they all came in like I think it was 1:41:01.120 --> 1:41:04.439 like seventy five to eighty three somewhere I looked it 1:41:04.520 --> 1:41:06.679 up earlier, but like it almost in an eight year, 1:41:06.760 --> 1:41:10.000 ten year span, and he had to think, like I 1:41:10.120 --> 1:41:12.080 was going to outlast Jack or at least get a 1:41:12.080 --> 1:41:13.639 major after Jack. He never did. 1:41:14.240 --> 1:41:18.800 I think something that's amazing about this major is the 1:41:18.840 --> 1:41:22.840 idea of like the old, the old greatest of all time, 1:41:24.320 --> 1:41:28.639 like go run into gauntlet and taking on all the 1:41:28.800 --> 1:41:32.800 very best of this era and taking it to him 1:41:33.000 --> 1:41:35.880 one last time. Like I just think that that is 1:41:35.960 --> 1:41:39.759 like the overarching It's it's a little bit of shades 1:41:39.800 --> 1:41:43.000 of Tiger in twenty nineteen with Brooks in the mix, 1:41:43.160 --> 1:41:46.120 like where it's like, oh, oh, boys, you don't want 1:41:46.160 --> 1:41:49.320 this smoke, like and coming down and just it's just 1:41:49.640 --> 1:41:52.880 let me show you something and like him doing it. 1:41:54.040 --> 1:41:56.920 And that's like right at this moment in the telecast 1:41:57.040 --> 1:41:58.880 is kind of where I was like thinking about that. 1:41:58.920 --> 1:42:01.759 It's like, how cool is this tournament? 1:42:04.320 --> 1:42:07.120 Thelphers who have dominated the seventies and eighties have all 1:42:07.160 --> 1:42:09.439 congregated at the top of this leader board, all the 1:42:09.479 --> 1:42:10.760 golfers who dominated. 1:42:10.400 --> 1:42:13.400 This Why though, I guess maybe I'm gonna feel dumb 1:42:13.479 --> 1:42:16.439 when someone reveals answers why isn't Faldo playing? He just 1:42:16.439 --> 1:42:18.559 looked it up. He didn't play in the first two 1:42:18.560 --> 1:42:20.960 Majors of this year. He was like he played in 1:42:20.960 --> 1:42:23.760 the previous three Masters, but then he missed two Masters. 1:42:24.280 --> 1:42:26.200 Is this when Faldo had sort of lost his swing? 1:42:26.240 --> 1:42:29.000 Later this year he finishes in the Open, fifth in 1:42:29.040 --> 1:42:31.160 the Open Championship, and he wins the Masters in eighty 1:42:31.200 --> 1:42:33.240 seven Old Championship. 1:42:33.240 --> 1:42:35.760 In my guess would be when this was This might 1:42:35.760 --> 1:42:37.960 be when he was tearing down this swing would be 1:42:38.000 --> 1:42:40.800 a guess. I don't know, maybe going make it in 1:42:40.800 --> 1:42:44.559 the middle of a swing change, just a guess, all right. 1:42:44.640 --> 1:42:50.080 So so Jack gets through sixteen, he's eagled fifteen, he's 1:42:50.120 --> 1:42:55.519 eagles thirty, sixteen, seventeen. They don't see the drive. They 1:42:55.520 --> 1:42:58.360 don't they don't know where it went. He like Verne 1:42:58.400 --> 1:43:00.680 is like, oh, we don't see it. Where wherever it is? 1:43:00.960 --> 1:43:03.040 It ends up being any. 1:43:02.960 --> 1:43:03.759 Drive on seven. 1:43:05.720 --> 1:43:08.040 If they just showed the camera shot of like just 1:43:08.160 --> 1:43:10.600 the fairway, there's nothing you can see. 1:43:10.880 --> 1:43:14.599 Yep, yeap. So he hits it. It's a four hundred 1:43:14.680 --> 1:43:17.280 yard hole at the time, seventeen four hundred yards up 1:43:17.320 --> 1:43:20.960 the hill. He said, Jack is prowling after his twentieth 1:43:21.000 --> 1:43:23.840 major win. We should note like that is the ubiquitous 1:43:23.840 --> 1:43:26.799 concert reference. He's going for twenty majors, which is now eighteen. 1:43:28.360 --> 1:43:30.599 They can't find his te ball quote. We're still searching. 1:43:30.680 --> 1:43:33.799 It's not good wherever it is. Well, it was like, okay, 1:43:33.840 --> 1:43:36.719 you had a shot. An interesting thing was it wasn't 1:43:36.720 --> 1:43:39.040 a gallery. They never take the ropes down, did you 1:43:39.080 --> 1:43:42.320 guys notice that throughout like they never nowadays they just 1:43:42.680 --> 1:43:44.680 would you know, obviously you take the ropes down, you 1:43:44.720 --> 1:43:46.600 take the stakes down. They're just like, yeah, you know 1:43:46.640 --> 1:43:49.200 if it hits the rope, so well, I'll figure it out. 1:43:49.240 --> 1:43:52.800 After he's like hitting over this gallery, crosswalk side and 1:43:52.840 --> 1:43:55.040 the ropes. This happens over and over again with Norman 1:43:55.120 --> 1:43:59.400 and others. But he has a shot and he a 1:43:59.439 --> 1:44:02.760 clear angle. He comes up and over the top to 1:44:02.800 --> 1:44:05.880 the back back right pin and he's yeah, h to 1:44:05.920 --> 1:44:09.080 the back of the green birdie makeable putt and he makes. 1:44:08.920 --> 1:44:10.559 A hell of a shot from to be on that 1:44:10.680 --> 1:44:13.479 top shelf. Like to not go along there. 1:44:13.560 --> 1:44:16.160 Nothing compared to Norman's though, yeah. 1:44:16.200 --> 1:44:17.400 True, it's not. 1:44:17.680 --> 1:44:22.200 It's interesting, nothing compared to Yes, like, I'm not trying 1:44:22.240 --> 1:44:25.200 to diminished check shot, but like what you see fifteen 1:44:25.200 --> 1:44:28.080 minutes later, you're like, oh my god, that. 1:44:27.760 --> 1:44:30.080 When we remember earlier this year we did the greatest 1:44:30.120 --> 1:44:32.960 shots in a losing effort, and I did not put 1:44:33.000 --> 1:44:35.559 Norman's shot on there because I honestly was kind of 1:44:35.600 --> 1:44:38.280 ignorant of it. I was like, oh, Norman blew it 1:44:38.320 --> 1:44:40.600 on eighteen, Like what And someone was like, yo, you 1:44:40.600 --> 1:44:43.840 need to go check out Norman's shot on seventeen, and 1:44:44.400 --> 1:44:46.479 it's like we'll get there in a second, but it's 1:44:46.520 --> 1:44:49.840 so good that it made our next list that's coming 1:44:49.880 --> 1:44:51.519 out soon for like greatest shots. 1:44:51.320 --> 1:44:51.720 Of all time. 1:44:52.000 --> 1:44:54.160 Can I just point out something that like is a 1:44:54.160 --> 1:45:00.360 big theme of this the telecast and also our com terry. 1:45:00.439 --> 1:45:03.360 To this point, nobody. 1:45:03.080 --> 1:45:06.240 And all is talking about Tom Kite, who's just there, 1:45:06.760 --> 1:45:07.680 you gets runner up. 1:45:08.280 --> 1:45:10.439 He like literally he has a putt to get into 1:45:10.479 --> 1:45:14.959 the playoff, Like what's the closest to getting in the playoff, 1:45:17.040 --> 1:45:19.680 and he's just literally like there the whole. 1:45:19.439 --> 1:45:20.880 Time kind of along. 1:45:21.000 --> 1:45:24.160 Yeah, yeah, And it was just like, you know, it's 1:45:24.160 --> 1:45:25.800 like just like perfect. 1:45:25.400 --> 1:45:26.280 For Tom Kite. 1:45:26.360 --> 1:45:29.320 I feel like I have, like this guy, really great 1:45:29.360 --> 1:45:33.360 player of the era, but like not really memorable in 1:45:33.439 --> 1:45:36.360 terms of like when people rattle off names of the 1:45:36.479 --> 1:45:39.280 nineties and eighties, they don't they don't go to Kite, 1:45:39.439 --> 1:45:42.880 even though he's this great, great player, And like even 1:45:42.920 --> 1:45:45.280 on this telecast, it's just like in Tom Kite is 1:45:45.439 --> 1:45:46.280 just one back. 1:45:46.760 --> 1:45:52.479 These are Tom Kite's consecutive Masters finishes tenth fifth. There's 1:45:52.560 --> 1:45:58.120 some ties in here, but tenth fifth, third, eighteenth, fifth, sixth, fifth, fifth, 1:45:58.320 --> 1:46:01.000 and then this ends up finishing second sixth. He misses 1:46:01.040 --> 1:46:03.360 the cut and the finishes second, and then later he 1:46:03.400 --> 1:46:05.679 has kind of a lull, but he finishes fourth and second. 1:46:06.400 --> 1:46:09.160 H It's like, incredible, incredible. 1:46:08.720 --> 1:46:13.320 Run, Tom, incredible run. And honestly, had the should have 1:46:13.439 --> 1:46:14.800 could have been in the could have been in the 1:46:14.800 --> 1:46:17.479 playoff more more than Norman played better golf than Norman 1:46:17.560 --> 1:46:21.519 on Sunday. So Norman was erratic, But I forgot to say, 1:46:21.800 --> 1:46:23.720 the bears come out of hibernation is when we get 1:46:23.720 --> 1:46:25.880 that famous Nance line, when he's walked off, he's gone 1:46:25.880 --> 1:46:29.479 eagle birdie at sixteen, pulls it on seventeen, gets up 1:46:29.479 --> 1:46:32.680 to the back ledge, and this is where we get 1:46:32.880 --> 1:46:36.400 the famous, the most famous, Yes, sir put I think 1:46:36.479 --> 1:46:39.439 like it is so aided by the visual, like the 1:46:39.439 --> 1:46:41.519 Potter rays, like he knows it's going in the jar 1:46:41.600 --> 1:46:45.439 while it's still going end over end tumbling, and I 1:46:45.439 --> 1:46:49.880 think like it's the iconic moment from this masters. I 1:46:49.880 --> 1:46:52.280 guess he went to he went away, or he went 1:46:52.320 --> 1:46:54.960 ahead for good here and I guess that's the point 1:46:55.240 --> 1:46:59.120 of it. But watching the totality of the three hours, 1:46:59.120 --> 1:47:02.400 you're like, oh, that was awesome, major, massive moment, But 1:47:02.439 --> 1:47:04.639 it's like of a piece of like the hundred other 1:47:04.680 --> 1:47:08.760 things that are going on, you know, so anything you 1:47:08.800 --> 1:47:11.160 need to add, I'm not trying to give this short shrift, 1:47:11.200 --> 1:47:12.839 But Jack seventeenth pole. 1:47:13.760 --> 1:47:15.879 I just love There's a couple of little subtle things, 1:47:15.920 --> 1:47:18.519 like I love how he tugs his pant leg up 1:47:18.520 --> 1:47:20.840 a little bit before he reaches down to get the ball, 1:47:21.479 --> 1:47:23.280 which is just kind of like an old guy thing, 1:47:23.320 --> 1:47:25.680 like your pants don't fit quite right and so you 1:47:25.760 --> 1:47:29.200 want to split it gets a favocat also the fear 1:47:29.240 --> 1:47:31.280 of like splitting your pants if you don't like just 1:47:31.320 --> 1:47:33.840 sort of adjust them a little bit. And I love 1:47:34.120 --> 1:47:36.479 that aster he picks up the ben he's walking off, 1:47:36.960 --> 1:47:39.280 he does, he looks at the sky kind of like 1:47:39.320 --> 1:47:42.320 he's sort of like kind doesn't believe this. There's a 1:47:42.400 --> 1:47:43.880 I have a visual at the very end of this, 1:47:43.920 --> 1:47:46.439 but they show it later where he's just like wow, 1:47:46.800 --> 1:47:48.559 like he kind of like was almost like is this 1:47:48.600 --> 1:47:51.960 shit really happening? Like this this really real life? At 1:47:51.960 --> 1:47:52.880 this moment was kind. 1:47:52.800 --> 1:47:54.080 Of cool, incredible. 1:47:54.280 --> 1:47:54.920 Uh. 1:47:55.240 --> 1:47:58.880 Sevy makes his makes his bogie at fifteen and they 1:47:58.920 --> 1:48:02.960 say he's not in a tie Jack, and we get 1:48:02.960 --> 1:48:05.720 the foreign invasions reeling under the bear's attack. Right ben, 1:48:05.800 --> 1:48:09.680 right line. We don't really Sevy. That's it. That's it 1:48:09.720 --> 1:48:12.519 for Sevy. Essentially, we don't really see much more of Sev. 1:48:12.720 --> 1:48:18.320 I mean seventeen. We need the putt he hit seventeen. 1:48:18.360 --> 1:48:20.519 I mean he still had a chance I could take. 1:48:20.840 --> 1:48:23.639 I always thought he was dead hitting the water on fifteen. 1:48:24.000 --> 1:48:25.520 No, no, actually. 1:48:26.800 --> 1:48:31.240 Tied from the putt on seventeen needs to be talked about. 1:48:31.280 --> 1:48:34.480 He has like a eighteen feet for Bertie. 1:48:34.200 --> 1:48:35.160 To tie the lead. 1:48:35.479 --> 1:48:39.360 He's behind the hole fifteen feet passed and he's three 1:48:39.439 --> 1:48:42.120 putts and that is over. But he could have either 1:48:42.200 --> 1:48:45.120 made that putt or if he just two putts there 1:48:45.240 --> 1:48:49.400 from very short distance, he could birdie eighteen and get 1:48:49.439 --> 1:48:53.599 into a playoff. It was like I the fifteenth shot 1:48:53.640 --> 1:48:58.000 was one thing. My note was Seve just melted on 1:48:58.160 --> 1:49:02.400 season mentally melted, melted down there. 1:49:02.560 --> 1:49:05.400 He said on in his biography years later that the 1:49:05.439 --> 1:49:08.360 shot on fifteen like haunted him forever, like that. He 1:49:08.479 --> 1:49:10.720 just couldn't get over that. He smother hooked it into 1:49:10.760 --> 1:49:13.519 the pond there with with like all he's got to 1:49:13.560 --> 1:49:16.080 do is like put that anywhere on the green two putt. 1:49:16.160 --> 1:49:17.280 He's going to win the Masters. 1:49:17.840 --> 1:49:20.519 The putt on seventeen. You just don't see, like, okay, 1:49:20.760 --> 1:49:23.479 we can talk about equipment, right, Equipment issues make the 1:49:23.520 --> 1:49:26.040 misses worse. The put on something you just don't see 1:49:26.080 --> 1:49:29.200 from guys in contention at a major who've won that 1:49:29.280 --> 1:49:32.479 major multiple times. We're talking like he makes contact, he 1:49:32.560 --> 1:49:34.960 waves at the ball knowing it's going like twenty feet 1:49:35.040 --> 1:49:38.200 past what like is. 1:49:38.400 --> 1:49:43.560 The general gesticulations of players were it was so incredible, 1:49:44.160 --> 1:49:47.559 like they they were expressive, one more, one more, one 1:49:47.560 --> 1:49:49.120 more preposterous Sevvy moment. 1:49:49.360 --> 1:49:51.280 So he's ball in sixteen, lands on the top of 1:49:51.320 --> 1:49:53.400 the bunker. He does a hockey putt. He does like 1:49:53.439 --> 1:49:58.160 he's got to, like all the way to the pucker, 1:49:58.240 --> 1:50:00.519 does a hockey putt. He makes a ball, But. 1:50:00.760 --> 1:50:01.360 I do like it. 1:50:01.400 --> 1:50:04.479 At some point, I think it's on eighteen VENTUREI says, 1:50:05.280 --> 1:50:07.960 they keep on ballisteros. This is before they anyone had 1:50:08.000 --> 1:50:11.679 knew to pronounced the double l's Ballisterario's will win more 1:50:11.720 --> 1:50:15.360 than to what will win more masters. I guarantee you 1:50:15.439 --> 1:50:19.000 that it's like, Nope, that didn't happen there. 1:50:19.160 --> 1:50:21.519 Yeah, yeah, guarantee you that, he said. I guarante like 1:50:21.560 --> 1:50:23.479 he is the undisputed best player in the world. I 1:50:23.520 --> 1:50:27.320 guarantee you that I had that right. Uh had to 1:50:27.360 --> 1:50:30.000 back off his pot as Jack is going up eighteen. 1:50:32.120 --> 1:50:34.960 He almost so. Jack gets in the middle on eighteen. 1:50:35.000 --> 1:50:37.080 It's the middle of the green on eighteen, doesn't get 1:50:37.160 --> 1:50:39.400 up to the There's not the usual pin that we've 1:50:39.400 --> 1:50:41.960 become so accustomed to right there, like middle left there 1:50:42.000 --> 1:50:46.360 in the in the swale, and it's his top back 1:50:46.479 --> 1:50:48.760 right pin would have been perfect in the normal pin 1:50:48.800 --> 1:50:51.479 we're used to. It has like a fifty footter that 1:50:51.520 --> 1:50:53.160 he almost he puts it in the heart and people 1:50:53.160 --> 1:50:55.559 are like losing their mind, like, oh my god, Like 1:50:55.680 --> 1:50:59.599 I thought that was going in. It's like like you know, reach, reach, 1:51:00.040 --> 1:51:01.720 and it was it nearly went in. He's just a 1:51:01.760 --> 1:51:02.760 tap in part. 1:51:02.840 --> 1:51:04.880 Can you imagine if he had made that putt and 1:51:05.000 --> 1:51:08.439 essentially had just like shot twenty nine to win the Masters, 1:51:08.479 --> 1:51:10.679 like and there was no doubt nobody was gonna even 1:51:10.720 --> 1:51:11.080 like have it. 1:51:11.120 --> 1:51:11.920 But to catch. 1:51:11.800 --> 1:51:15.360 Him as he was walking up, Venturi says, in all 1:51:15.400 --> 1:51:17.920 my years and in the golf, in all my years 1:51:17.960 --> 1:51:20.360 in the golf, I think that was the most emotional 1:51:20.360 --> 1:51:22.840 and largest ovation I've ever heard, is Jack is walking 1:51:22.920 --> 1:51:25.559 up to the green and he almost makes it. He goes, 1:51:25.600 --> 1:51:27.519 that was right in the middle. Pat, what a play, 1:51:27.800 --> 1:51:31.400 what a champion, what a round? What a player? Ah beautiful, 1:51:31.520 --> 1:51:34.680 he says, ah beautiful when he hugs Jackie as his 1:51:34.800 --> 1:51:38.160 kid obviously as they're walking off. So that's there's still 1:51:38.160 --> 1:51:40.599 a lot of golf to be played. So anything from 1:51:40.680 --> 1:51:42.599 Jack and eighteen we got that cup go ahead. 1:51:42.600 --> 1:51:46.320 Well, the other the putt, the putt was incredible in 1:51:46.360 --> 1:51:46.719 the heart. 1:51:47.200 --> 1:51:49.560 Yeah, a couple of rolls. 1:51:49.920 --> 1:51:54.160 Lay like an eighty footer completely dead where you just 1:51:54.200 --> 1:51:59.160 have the tap in. Meanwhile, though the shark, the shark 1:51:59.280 --> 1:51:59.879 is circling. 1:52:01.280 --> 1:52:04.559 The shark is circling. So he looked horrible. Look just 1:52:04.760 --> 1:52:09.519 yanking the ball saving part. Then he goes to birdie fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen. 1:52:09.720 --> 1:52:15.400 That's it, that's all he did. Seventeen we've talked about where. 1:52:15.360 --> 1:52:17.240 We didn't really describe what it was though. Yeah, I 1:52:17.280 --> 1:52:18.760 want to hear your description of. 1:52:18.680 --> 1:52:23.200 What well, I mean sixteen he hits that shot and 1:52:23.240 --> 1:52:25.920 it and it just kind of corrals in and I 1:52:25.920 --> 1:52:28.360 feel like when Jack was putting out if I if 1:52:28.439 --> 1:52:33.960 I recall Norman's around fifteen, and Ben Wright says, here 1:52:34.080 --> 1:52:35.880 we have it a shark and a bear. 1:52:36.720 --> 1:52:41.719 Yeah, a lot of animal terms flying this line. 1:52:43.360 --> 1:52:43.479 Uh. 1:52:43.720 --> 1:52:46.879 But then at sixteen he hits like just like the 1:52:46.880 --> 1:52:50.400 the just such an epic shot, you know where it 1:52:50.680 --> 1:52:54.080 plays the slope perfectly corrals it in and it's just like, 1:52:54.160 --> 1:52:56.599 oh my god, it you know what like you guys, 1:52:57.120 --> 1:52:58.920 I can't remember who said it was. 1:52:58.960 --> 1:52:59.960 Kind of a Rory esque. 1:53:00.800 --> 1:53:03.400 Yes it was, because he would hit that shot and 1:53:03.439 --> 1:53:05.800 they followed it with the snap pook off seventeen t 1:53:06.880 --> 1:53:09.240 were like, what where did that come from? 1:53:09.479 --> 1:53:11.760 The best player in the world. It's like they look 1:53:11.800 --> 1:53:14.320 like nobody could beat you. And then you're like, yeah, 1:53:14.360 --> 1:53:18.479 it was incredible. Sixteen was it was not that I 1:53:18.520 --> 1:53:20.559 know we're talking about these near aces, but I mean 1:53:20.760 --> 1:53:24.360 kite airmailed it. Peven hit in the middle of the pond. 1:53:24.439 --> 1:53:27.040 It wasn't like just everybody throwing it to the same 1:53:27.160 --> 1:53:30.040 spot in like a wedge and sucking it back past 1:53:30.080 --> 1:53:33.959 the hole. There was variability there even on these last 1:53:34.560 --> 1:53:40.440 five five to six groups. So on seventeen, like, it's unbelievable. 1:53:40.479 --> 1:53:42.800 Eisenhower's tree is there, Like you wonder if it's like 1:53:42.840 --> 1:53:44.920 caught in the Eisenhower tree. You just know you could 1:53:44.920 --> 1:53:49.160 see the ball snapping off the tee and that's it. 1:53:50.880 --> 1:53:53.040 There's questions on whether you should get relief from a 1:53:53.080 --> 1:53:55.559 sprinkler head that is for the seventh green. It's on 1:53:55.640 --> 1:53:59.160 like the fringe of the seventh green. And this is 1:53:59.160 --> 1:54:01.280 what Andy, I think you ended up over here when 1:54:01.320 --> 1:54:03.920 you played around. Not to throw your round here again, 1:54:04.000 --> 1:54:05.240 but like you just. 1:54:05.200 --> 1:54:08.439 Don't see this much few more trees then, yes, that 1:54:08.560 --> 1:54:11.679 was the sightlines through. I just seem good point out 1:54:12.000 --> 1:54:14.439 that these are two of the greatest shots in Masters 1:54:14.520 --> 1:54:17.559 history that nobody would be able to hit now because 1:54:17.640 --> 1:54:21.240 they've planted a gazillion trees over there to prohibit like. 1:54:22.960 --> 1:54:24.280 The recovery shots. 1:54:24.920 --> 1:54:27.479 There's also like crazy the other thing you know, just 1:54:27.600 --> 1:54:30.519 watching this, there's no p pine straw on the golf court. 1:54:30.600 --> 1:54:35.000 No, yeah, nope, there's nothing, no pine straw sightlines just 1:54:35.000 --> 1:54:37.880 from like through around fifteen and fourteen, there's no it's 1:54:37.920 --> 1:54:42.760 just kind of open. So this still is kind of 1:54:42.760 --> 1:54:44.840 a it's a low runner onto the front of the 1:54:44.880 --> 1:54:48.520 green and he makes essentially about the same length putt 1:54:48.520 --> 1:54:51.080 as Jack. Like the shot to get from essentially seventh 1:54:51.120 --> 1:54:55.200 green to call it like twelve feet was a miracle 1:54:55.360 --> 1:54:57.400 uses the ground, runs it up there and then makes 1:54:57.400 --> 1:54:59.800 the putt and gets the yes sir, and is smiling 1:54:59.840 --> 1:55:04.120 and runs like is kind of like skipping to the eighteenth. 1:55:03.760 --> 1:55:08.520 Career playing the hits using guests are yet again for 1:55:08.720 --> 1:55:10.960 Norman Era, this is like when a one hit wonder 1:55:10.960 --> 1:55:13.080 has a radio hit. You hear it like ten minutes 1:55:13.120 --> 1:55:14.520 after you heard it on the radio again. 1:55:14.960 --> 1:55:15.560 Yeah. 1:55:15.720 --> 1:55:19.720 Also, while this is going on, top Kite is basically 1:55:19.840 --> 1:55:23.520 hit a great pot that ran that if he hit 1:55:23.560 --> 1:55:26.440 a fraction harder goes in and gets into the playoffs. 1:55:26.440 --> 1:55:29.560 But once again, nobody talks about how top Kite probably 1:55:29.560 --> 1:55:30.480 should have wont this. 1:55:31.240 --> 1:55:35.879 And Kevin, yeah best like hits a six iron Venturi. 1:55:36.440 --> 1:55:39.120 We didn't really talk a lot about Venturi, who's kind 1:55:39.120 --> 1:55:41.120 of a dick, like in a lot of ways, like 1:55:41.160 --> 1:55:44.040 in a very honest way, but like we'll cook people 1:55:44.400 --> 1:55:46.960 like if they don't. And he you know, everybody's rooting 1:55:47.000 --> 1:55:48.880 for Jack at this point. It's like they kind of 1:55:48.920 --> 1:55:52.320 want Jack to win. Like, you know, Kite hits his 1:55:52.400 --> 1:55:55.160 great six iron into the green and just how you 1:55:55.160 --> 1:55:56.560 think it was. It hits the top of the hill 1:55:56.600 --> 1:55:59.200 and releases right at the pin and and Ventura's like, oh, 1:55:59.320 --> 1:56:00.480 kind of a lucky there. 1:56:00.680 --> 1:56:02.880 It was like, no, dude, like that's a really good shot. 1:56:03.280 --> 1:56:05.520 It was the best approach shot on eighteen of the 1:56:05.600 --> 1:56:08.040 day of this of this broadcast. 1:56:08.120 --> 1:56:09.960 That's and then what does the adventure you say on 1:56:09.960 --> 1:56:12.680 the putt? You cannot be short here. You do not 1:56:12.800 --> 1:56:15.520 be short as he hits it, just as I said short, 1:56:15.880 --> 1:56:19.440 didn't hold the line low left, short, can't be short there. 1:56:19.600 --> 1:56:21.880 I guarantee Norman will not be short here on his putt. 1:56:22.320 --> 1:56:24.320 I mean I get it. I get his point, Like 1:56:24.320 --> 1:56:26.480 he didn't give it enough. It got to the it 1:56:26.560 --> 1:56:32.040 got to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it just missed them 1:56:32.040 --> 1:56:35.840 the low side. But that yeah, and he loses by 1:56:36.200 --> 1:56:40.560 a shot. Tom Kite incredible. He will win undoubtedly with 1:56:40.600 --> 1:56:43.680 how consistency, how consistent he is. His jacket is coming, 1:56:44.200 --> 1:56:48.320 is what they said. Uh so Norman Birdie's seventeen I 1:56:48.360 --> 1:56:51.880 will just say I forgot to mention at seventeen when 1:56:51.960 --> 1:56:54.680 when Jack made his and we got the yes, sir. 1:56:54.720 --> 1:56:58.600 They asked, whiskopfu has his history with him? Like Jack, Tom, 1:56:58.600 --> 1:57:01.480 you must be a jumble of emotion right now, he goes. 1:57:01.520 --> 1:57:04.760 I jumped up. I jumped up I like, I can't 1:57:04.760 --> 1:57:07.440 believe this is happening. Weiss Coffin is in the younger 1:57:07.520 --> 1:57:10.200 than Jack. He's in the broadcast booth, and you got Jack. 1:57:10.520 --> 1:57:12.520 He must be a jumble of emotion. So so Norman 1:57:12.560 --> 1:57:17.040 follows shortly makes his own birdy at seventeen eighteen, as 1:57:17.040 --> 1:57:19.960 we talked about, makes draws the three wood perfect down 1:57:20.000 --> 1:57:21.440 the middle, has the four iron. 1:57:22.080 --> 1:57:23.600 I got a sure that's right here. 1:57:23.640 --> 1:57:27.320 We can beach can put up of Norman standing in 1:57:27.360 --> 1:57:28.760 the middle of the fairly here. 1:57:29.880 --> 1:57:34.760 The whole thing, you know, part for a playoff. Mh. 1:57:34.800 --> 1:57:37.160 Probably what we're thinking, like one ninety here or something, 1:57:37.240 --> 1:57:38.360 but you know, two hundred. 1:57:40.000 --> 1:57:40.959 Seventy seven. 1:57:42.560 --> 1:57:45.080 Trying to hit a draw up pill. 1:57:45.560 --> 1:57:48.960 Yeah, so you know you're probably playing that. It's probably 1:57:49.000 --> 1:57:51.360 one ninety five shot he's trying to and he's in 1:57:51.360 --> 1:57:52.720 in four iron one. 1:57:52.720 --> 1:57:55.920 Thing eighteen is much more open on the tea box, 1:57:56.000 --> 1:57:58.360 less claustrophobic like the ropes. I don't know if the 1:57:58.400 --> 1:57:59.960 rope line in the box is just big. 1:58:00.080 --> 1:58:00.320 Well. 1:58:00.720 --> 1:58:03.520 The other thing is the box is thirty yards up. 1:58:04.160 --> 1:58:07.160 It's not very back. I understand it's on the top 1:58:07.200 --> 1:58:08.640 of that hillie. 1:58:08.160 --> 1:58:10.280 Of the tea box. 1:58:10.440 --> 1:58:13.160 Like the cluster of trees is a lot closer to 1:58:13.200 --> 1:58:13.960 the tea box. 1:58:14.200 --> 1:58:18.120 It's so it just feels so just kind of roomy 1:58:18.240 --> 1:58:20.920 up there. Uh So he gets it up there. 1:58:22.440 --> 1:58:25.000 I have a next shot here where he hits the crowd. 1:58:25.360 --> 1:58:28.000 Well as he's as he's over the ball, Ventory goes, 1:58:28.000 --> 1:58:30.160 if there's any doubt about the greatness of the man, Oh, 1:58:30.200 --> 1:58:32.160 this is about Jack, about the great man. He's proven 1:58:32.200 --> 1:58:35.880 it today. But they're talking about how Ventory is like 1:58:36.080 --> 1:58:39.240 surely a playoff or a win, like probably not. A 1:58:39.240 --> 1:58:42.800 bogie is coming. Everybody's congregating around the tenth Green. So 1:58:42.840 --> 1:58:45.360 they have video of the masses running down for the 1:58:45.400 --> 1:58:50.280 Norman Nicholas playoff, Like everybody's encircling the tenth Green, and 1:58:50.280 --> 1:58:52.680 and they're like they're all they're all heading there. This 1:58:52.800 --> 1:58:56.600 is gonna be a playoff, you know, at worst, or 1:58:56.680 --> 1:58:59.240 a win for Norman. You know he's gonna get his win. 1:59:00.040 --> 1:59:04.040 So all right, so go ahead, Kevin, I don't interrupt you. 1:59:03.320 --> 1:59:05.400 No, it just you know, Norman we talked a little 1:59:05.400 --> 1:59:06.080 about the beginning. 1:59:06.640 --> 1:59:09.360 I always remember this in Sports Illustrated that Rick Raley 1:59:09.400 --> 1:59:11.760 referred to it as his four iron fo r e 1:59:12.320 --> 1:59:16.000 uh and because he hits it, not hitting fifteen rows 1:59:16.040 --> 1:59:19.400 deep into the crowd here. It's like at the top, 1:59:19.560 --> 1:59:21.360 like at the kind of the top of the picture 1:59:21.760 --> 1:59:24.680 here if you're watching on YouTube, is where the ball lands. 1:59:25.120 --> 1:59:29.000 It's just such an incredible like miss for like the 1:59:29.640 --> 1:59:32.440 championship was on the line, but he hits a decent 1:59:32.560 --> 1:59:34.840 enough chip to where he ends up with this putt 1:59:34.880 --> 1:59:38.120 in the next frame here to to ship. 1:59:38.040 --> 1:59:40.360 Was incredible chiprun down there. 1:59:40.840 --> 1:59:44.720 Good. Okay, it's like that is so good. 1:59:45.440 --> 1:59:48.960 Yeah, obviously there's one more frame here with the putt 1:59:49.000 --> 1:59:51.880 like standing over it. He does not hit the greatest 1:59:51.920 --> 1:59:55.800 putt here. Uh you know, misses by a good foot 1:59:56.120 --> 1:59:58.360 on the left winner. It's like, you know, maybe eight 1:59:58.400 --> 2:00:01.640 inches on the left. But just like I don't know, 2:00:01.800 --> 2:00:03.720 I can't help but feel a little bit for Norman 2:00:04.480 --> 2:00:06.920 as I go back through the last month, through some 2:00:07.040 --> 2:00:10.080 of these old masters of just how close he was 2:00:10.160 --> 2:00:14.640 to winning like four green jackets and gets blanked over again. 2:00:14.720 --> 2:00:15.000 Again. 2:00:16.040 --> 2:00:23.000 Yeah, you can't that approach shot just go for the playoff. 2:00:23.040 --> 2:00:26.440 It's unbelievable how wide that approach shot was. I know 2:00:26.480 --> 2:00:28.560 he had the four iron after you just watched what 2:00:28.600 --> 2:00:32.240 he did on seventeen Venturi is like sort of incredulous. 2:00:32.280 --> 2:00:34.760 He goes, he's watched this for the last two hours. 2:00:34.800 --> 2:00:37.280 He goes, you're not supposed to do these things in golf, 2:00:37.360 --> 2:00:40.160 what you're watching, You're not supposed to do this. And 2:00:40.560 --> 2:00:42.720 then we get the other side of the coin of 2:00:42.760 --> 2:00:46.040 like the very bad with the approach after the recovery 2:00:46.080 --> 2:00:49.160 for Birdie on seventeen, where he's just miles into the 2:00:49.160 --> 2:00:52.760 gallery and does the one thing. I honestly, the fact 2:00:52.760 --> 2:00:54.520 that he had that putt for Parr was a miracle. 2:00:54.560 --> 2:00:56.720 I thought the chip was incredible that he really I 2:00:56.760 --> 2:00:59.000 thought he was dead. And in jail Fire, there's an 2:00:59.000 --> 2:01:02.120 incredible visual of Norman they've got to clear out, like 2:01:02.280 --> 2:01:05.720 ten rows. He's so far back and there's all this, 2:01:06.840 --> 2:01:08.480 you know, because it's Augusta, they probably don't want to 2:01:08.520 --> 2:01:12.040 say this, but like detritis, there's water bottles and you know, 2:01:12.280 --> 2:01:14.880 like rappers, and he's standing there and it's taking while 2:01:14.920 --> 2:01:16.680 for these people of an advanced age to screw up. 2:01:16.840 --> 2:01:19.919 He starts kicking these bottles like he looks fucked, like resign. 2:01:20.320 --> 2:01:22.600 He has his hands on his hips, like looks like 2:01:22.640 --> 2:01:25.320 he's in jail. Seems to appear to have the attitude 2:01:25.320 --> 2:01:28.600 body language of someone who's done. Gets to the point 2:01:28.600 --> 2:01:31.800 where like it's unbelievable how he's just looking around so mad, 2:01:31.920 --> 2:01:34.840 like I'm done, I'm toast, and kicks a couple like 2:01:34.960 --> 2:01:38.400 extra leftover items of garbage after like these the rows 2:01:38.440 --> 2:01:40.200 of people have been moved back, and. 2:01:40.280 --> 2:01:43.760 You know, after birdying four in row, you know, he 2:01:43.880 --> 2:01:45.840 was thinking, I'm going to burdie this last hole and 2:01:45.920 --> 2:01:48.040 I'm gonna win the freaking masters. 2:01:48.960 --> 2:01:53.000 I just I'd never I don't recall that this hun 2:01:53.960 --> 2:01:56.880 on a single putt at the very end with Norman. 2:01:57.080 --> 2:01:59.800 I just you see the Jack and this was essentially 2:01:59.800 --> 2:02:01.800 the same anything as Rory last year on eighteen, like 2:02:01.880 --> 2:02:04.480 that tension and death in the air, life or death, 2:02:05.280 --> 2:02:07.720 and you just it's been reduced to Jack and all 2:02:07.760 --> 2:02:11.120 his charge, which is of course sorryer, but I just 2:02:11.160 --> 2:02:13.120 don't remember it coming down to the wire. And of 2:02:13.120 --> 2:02:16.560 course he's in the Jones cabin. I think it's Jones. 2:02:16.560 --> 2:02:21.040 Maybe it was it, which is you know, left to 2:02:21.120 --> 2:02:23.240 ten there, and so I have to race him over 2:02:23.280 --> 2:02:26.000 to the Butler cabin, which of. 2:02:25.920 --> 2:02:28.240 Course I have a good visual hair of him walking. 2:02:29.120 --> 2:02:31.200 Yeah, I thought it was very funny this security guard 2:02:31.240 --> 2:02:33.400 sticking his hand out to. 2:02:33.320 --> 2:02:37.240 Shake his hand as Nicholas does shake his hand, and. 2:02:37.320 --> 2:02:41.320 Random people just like walk in, yeah, shake his hand. 2:02:41.840 --> 2:02:44.640 Whoever that man is who's on it appears in the video, 2:02:44.640 --> 2:02:46.440 but just walks in from the security to shake this 2:02:46.520 --> 2:02:49.640 guy's hand with the greatest major ever like hopefully has 2:02:49.680 --> 2:02:52.360 this is some keepsake, it's just Joe's mo maybe it's 2:02:52.360 --> 2:02:53.560 a friend to Nicholas. 2:02:53.920 --> 2:02:56.440 Kevin. You you illuminated this. 2:02:56.760 --> 2:03:00.000 I think this is one of the greatest early memes 2:03:00.000 --> 2:03:03.000 if only social media existed when this was created. I 2:03:03.040 --> 2:03:05.240 saw I was happy that you gathered this because this 2:03:05.320 --> 2:03:07.320 was the one asset I wanted to be in here. 2:03:07.920 --> 2:03:14.520 That floating head, jack floating over twelve, Like what an 2:03:14.640 --> 2:03:16.560 unflattering picture. 2:03:20.200 --> 2:03:22.400 At the head? He just what's the master? What's the 2:03:22.480 --> 2:03:23.440 six s green jacket? 2:03:23.480 --> 2:03:26.200 And it's like, let's put together the worst looking photo 2:03:26.240 --> 2:03:26.560 we can. 2:03:26.880 --> 2:03:29.560 If you're listening listening on the pod, it's it's a 2:03:29.600 --> 2:03:33.040 shot of twelve for some reason, and Jack on after 2:03:33.080 --> 2:03:34.880 you made the putt on seventeen. 2:03:34.560 --> 2:03:36.320 Looking at the sky, which I was alluding to. 2:03:36.680 --> 2:03:40.080 But it's like like his disembodied head is like sort 2:03:40.080 --> 2:03:42.120 of floating over the bridge. 2:03:43.080 --> 2:03:47.600 It's nineteen eighty six photoshop capabilities here. 2:03:48.200 --> 2:03:51.040 It's kind of like transparent too, so like where Jack's 2:03:51.080 --> 2:03:53.640 collar is, you can still see through the green and 2:03:53.680 --> 2:03:56.040 like part of his like shirt and skin on the green. 2:03:56.120 --> 2:03:57.800 It's it's a it's a trip. 2:03:58.400 --> 2:04:01.480 When Norman misses the putt badly, Venturi goes, that is 2:04:02.760 --> 2:04:06.320 hard to believe. What a finish, What a finish, My god, 2:04:06.320 --> 2:04:06.880 what a game? 2:04:07.440 --> 2:04:07.839 Uh? 2:04:08.040 --> 2:04:10.320 And so they rush Jack. They get him to Butler cabin. 2:04:10.400 --> 2:04:13.480 You could hear him. Musburger's doing the voiceover with he's 2:04:13.520 --> 2:04:15.360 in the cabin with hord Harden, who's the chairman of 2:04:15.400 --> 2:04:16.880 Augusta National at the time. 2:04:18.600 --> 2:04:21.000 Trying to get some asking questions and then. 2:04:21.240 --> 2:04:24.720 Well that's he didn't to ask. But then you can 2:04:24.800 --> 2:04:27.000 hear Jack kind of rustling in, because the audio of 2:04:27.040 --> 2:04:29.160 this whole day is like you can hear everything in 2:04:29.200 --> 2:04:31.280 the room and around the hole. It's like this Mike's 2:04:31.320 --> 2:04:33.720 picking up, there's Jack like coming back, where's my Jack 2:04:34.040 --> 2:04:36.120 like rustling in to get to get a seat, as 2:04:36.200 --> 2:04:41.240 Musburger does the voiceover, Uh, so they go they go 2:04:41.320 --> 2:04:43.400 to Musburger. Never in the history of golf is a 2:04:43.440 --> 2:04:48.480 more popular champion Ben crowned Hordhart and the chairman talks 2:04:48.480 --> 2:04:50.960 about we have two men who have prevailed. Who's the other, 2:04:51.400 --> 2:04:56.000 Sam Randolph? I mean got he prevailed? He did? 2:04:57.120 --> 2:04:59.600 Do you know how many more Masters Sam Randolph played 2:04:59.640 --> 2:05:04.920 in what another handwer This was his best eighteen as 2:05:04.960 --> 2:05:08.400 am was pretty good.

And so he 2:05:23.280 --> 2:05:25.520 played played the Masters twice two years in a row 2:05:25.520 --> 2:05:26.880 as an abb which is pretty rare. 2:05:27.360 --> 2:05:31.520 Yeah, they go to jack. It's been an unusual year 2:05:31.560 --> 2:05:34.400 for me. I really don't have uh, I mean Hoarhart 2:05:34.400 --> 2:05:38.040 and asking Sam Rodolph is the biggest sort of total 2:05:38.080 --> 2:05:40.400 curveball for the moment like this all time? What a 2:05:40.480 --> 2:05:43.760 Master's the greatest masters I've ever seen? That, Venturi says. 2:05:44.280 --> 2:05:46.680 And they've got to talk to Sam Randolph. He's like, 2:05:46.720 --> 2:05:48.600 you know, I'm gonna go pro. And it was a 2:05:48.600 --> 2:05:52.560 great day.

Jack says, it's been unusual year for me. 2:06:03.320 --> 2:06:05.440 I really just played awful and started playing well about 2:06:05.480 --> 2:06:08.000 a week ago. I felt like I could play. I 2:06:08.000 --> 2:06:10.560 didn't expect to be in position to win. I felt 2:06:10.560 --> 2:06:12.800 this morning all of a sudden though. If I shot 2:06:12.840 --> 2:06:14.720 sixty six, I thought I'd tie it. If I shot 2:06:14.840 --> 2:06:18.880 sixty five, I'd win it. And that's sort of the masters, right, 2:06:18.960 --> 2:06:22.879 Like I like, it can happen really fast on a Sunday. 2:06:22.960 --> 2:06:25.440 Of course, you can't shoot back nine thirties every time, 2:06:26.360 --> 2:06:29.040 but he's been there. He's like, I haven't had my game. 2:06:29.160 --> 2:06:31.120 But I wake up on Sunday and he's like, and 2:06:31.160 --> 2:06:34.840 you know, maybe sixty six I can tie it. In 2:06:34.960 --> 2:06:37.960 sixty five, maybe maybe maybe I'd win. And that's kind 2:06:37.960 --> 2:06:39.720 of what happened. He said, I haven't had this much 2:06:39.720 --> 2:06:42.919 fun in six years. He gets emotional talking about Jackiet 2:06:43.040 --> 2:06:46.560 Jackie when they ask him about his spot. I'm fifteen, 2:06:46.600 --> 2:06:48.520 you know I talked to Jackie, and then just to 2:06:48.560 --> 2:06:51.680 mention of Jackie gets some going and very emotional and 2:06:51.720 --> 2:06:54.320 how he hasn't had that much fun in six years, 2:06:54.680 --> 2:06:57.120 talked about the crowd being deafening and having to wipe 2:06:57.120 --> 2:06:59.200 tears from his eyes, and like, you got golf to play, 2:06:59.200 --> 2:07:00.800 You got golf to play.

It was like the first one 2:07:44.760 --> 2:07:46.840 in twenty some years or something. He didn't go to 2:07:47.200 --> 2:07:50.040 because he was attending the wedding of his son, and 2:07:50.080 --> 2:07:52.480 so all these people were like, oh man, bet you 2:07:52.480 --> 2:07:55.240 you suck that you miss out whatever. And Nicholas heard 2:07:55.240 --> 2:07:57.680 about this and wrote Kindred a letter and it was like, 2:07:57.760 --> 2:07:59.200 I just want you to know, like how much I 2:07:59.200 --> 2:08:02.120 admire the decision that you made, Like family is like 2:08:02.160 --> 2:08:04.320 way more important than anything that I could have ever done. 2:08:04.320 --> 2:08:07.160 And if you ever want to know like the inside 2:08:07.160 --> 2:08:09.040 scoop on what happened in nineteen six, just. 2:08:08.960 --> 2:08:10.720 Give me a call.

This is enjoyable. 2:09:17.000 --> 2:09:19.320 Weather notes you got. I just I found Jack to 2:09:19.360 --> 2:09:21.360 be you know, we tend to think of him at 2:09:21.360 --> 2:09:24.080 pretty dry, but you know this was one you hear 2:09:24.120 --> 2:09:26.040 about from your dad and you hear about like I 2:09:26.120 --> 2:09:30.880 wasn't around. I didn't remember, like to Andy's point, just 2:09:30.960 --> 2:09:33.040 the amount of people who were coming at him, the 2:09:33.040 --> 2:09:35.400 amount of people like Bias. Terris was the favorite, Norman 2:09:35.480 --> 2:09:37.280 was a favorite at the start, Nikki Price was the 2:09:37.280 --> 2:09:39.320 favorite at the start of the day. You know, Lennard's 2:09:39.360 --> 2:09:42.160 this great defending champ at number one in the world, 2:09:43.080 --> 2:09:45.240 and Jack's like, you know, people are saying, I was 2:09:45.280 --> 2:09:48.600 at a USGA dinner like the week before, and they're 2:09:48.600 --> 2:09:52.120 asked him like essentially, when you're gonna stop playing? So 2:09:52.240 --> 2:09:54.160 you know, I'm not playing well and I'm not going 2:09:54.240 --> 2:09:56.160 to go out playing poorly. I'm not going to go 2:09:56.200 --> 2:09:58.720 out playing like embarrassing myself. I'm playing poorly. This is 2:09:58.720 --> 2:10:00.880 not how I'm gonna finish. And then like a week 2:10:00.960 --> 2:10:04.320 later he's shooting thirty on the back, nine sixty five 2:10:04.560 --> 2:10:09.040 on Sunday. I don't think it can really be over romanticized, 2:10:09.120 --> 2:10:10.920 quite frankly, or overhyped. 2:10:11.440 --> 2:10:14.800 Every sportswriter who's ever lived has covered golf has written 2:10:14.800 --> 2:10:17.440 some version of like in the Day Jack Nicholas, like 2:10:17.520 --> 2:10:20.200 puts you in a time machine and made you forget 2:10:20.200 --> 2:10:22.440 that we could you know, you could be forever young. 2:10:23.600 --> 2:10:25.240 It's funny. I don't have a memory of this. 2:10:25.360 --> 2:10:28.520 I was born late in seventy seven, and so you know, 2:10:28.560 --> 2:10:30.040 I'm nine years old at this point. 2:10:30.040 --> 2:10:32.520 I don't have like really any interest in golf whatever. 2:10:32.560 --> 2:10:35.600 But I got permission to tell this story. My father 2:10:36.160 --> 2:10:38.520 golf fan. My father kind of grew up kind of 2:10:38.520 --> 2:10:42.800 more blue collar. He was, you know, his father was 2:10:42.800 --> 2:10:45.040 was a history professor, but he also like worked as 2:10:45.080 --> 2:10:46.480 like a newspaper delivery guy. 2:10:46.520 --> 2:10:48.960 And like so my dad, like he in college, he 2:10:48.960 --> 2:10:50.240 worked in a cannery and stuff. 2:10:50.280 --> 2:10:52.680 He was like a he became a lawyer later in life, 2:10:52.720 --> 2:10:55.640 but he was he was kind of an aspiring reacher 2:10:55.720 --> 2:10:58.320 my mom. Her father was a doctor, and he they 2:10:58.320 --> 2:11:00.760 were kind of a bit more you knowuppercross at least 2:11:00.800 --> 2:11:03.720 for Montana's sake or whatever. And my grandfather is very 2:11:03.720 --> 2:11:07.480 proper person, you know, he like knew Shakespeare, and he 2:11:07.600 --> 2:11:09.760 was like he loved to play cribbage, and he was 2:11:10.000 --> 2:11:14.160 a more serious person. It's nineteen eighty six. Masters comes 2:11:14.200 --> 2:11:17.000 along and they're having I don't know if it's Easter dinner, 2:11:17.160 --> 2:11:18.640 because I don't think has happened on Easter, but it's 2:11:18.640 --> 2:11:20.440 like around then, it's like a holiday. And my parents 2:11:20.480 --> 2:11:24.440 are in Gray Falls, Montana, and dinner is being served 2:11:24.640 --> 2:11:27.200 like while the Masters is going on. And my grandparents, 2:11:27.400 --> 2:11:29.680 who liked golf, certainly didn't think that you would, like, 2:11:30.400 --> 2:11:33.680 you know, skip out on dinner to watch a golf 2:11:33.680 --> 2:11:36.879 tournament and certainly didn't grasp that like what Jack Nicholas 2:11:36.880 --> 2:11:39.440 winning the Masters would meant. And so my father is 2:11:39.520 --> 2:11:43.839 like being called to dinner repeatedly while the back nine 2:11:43.960 --> 2:11:46.400 run is going on, and he's sort of like putting 2:11:46.480 --> 2:11:50.240 off my my prim and proper grandparents and keeps kind 2:11:50.280 --> 2:11:52.640 of like making excuses to like go back into the 2:11:52.640 --> 2:11:54.480 living room and turn the TV on and stuff, and 2:11:54.960 --> 2:11:57.360 I think my mother was like from my dad's telling 2:11:57.400 --> 2:11:57.760 of it, was. 2:11:57.800 --> 2:11:59.560 Kind of mortified about the whole thing. 2:11:59.600 --> 2:12:02.160 And I just love the image of my dad being like, yeah, 2:12:02.200 --> 2:12:04.440 but like Jack Nicholas is winning the Masters, like sir, 2:12:04.600 --> 2:12:07.480 can we just like pause the asparagus and lamb that's 2:12:07.520 --> 2:12:09.960 being served here and I can go finish up this 2:12:10.120 --> 2:12:13.000 Masters pretty good. 2:12:13.120 --> 2:12:14.920 If there is any doubt about the greatness of this 2:12:15.040 --> 2:12:17.880 man inventory he said, yeah, there's everybody just there was 2:12:17.920 --> 2:12:20.080 the right Thompson essay that like got me into my 2:12:20.160 --> 2:12:22.400 first like when I was gonna cover my first Masters, 2:12:22.440 --> 2:12:23.720 and got me all fired up. I think it was 2:12:23.720 --> 2:12:26.920 probably about ten years ago now where you know about 2:12:27.080 --> 2:12:29.440 like his dad and came here, son, you're gona Jacks 2:12:29.760 --> 2:12:31.560 going about to win the Masters, and this would be 2:12:31.560 --> 2:12:34.040 the greatest day or story of your life. And that 2:12:34.080 --> 2:12:35.800 got me all fired up to go the mouth even 2:12:35.800 --> 2:12:38.240 though I was through I was two and a half. 2:12:38.240 --> 2:12:40.240 I was two almost three years. All the time, my 2:12:40.320 --> 2:12:42.480 dad was like a big golfer and then got into 2:12:42.520 --> 2:12:45.920 golf caddying, and Nicholas was from Ohio. Weiscoff was from 2:12:45.960 --> 2:12:48.840 Cleveland like they were. You would hear stories of him 2:12:49.000 --> 2:12:51.080 like watching this and and but that's all I had. 2:12:51.120 --> 2:12:53.840 Like the first Masters I remember watching my parents were 2:12:53.880 --> 2:12:58.040 like kind of the woozy and Ali and in the 2:12:58.160 --> 2:13:01.920 nineties early nineties, and this one you just are relying 2:13:02.040 --> 2:13:04.040 for me and relying on my dad. So watching it 2:13:04.080 --> 2:13:08.520 back was like just trying to think in modern media terms, 2:13:08.600 --> 2:13:12.040 how this would be covered. It would like it we 2:13:12.200 --> 2:13:16.160 just self combust between like the Norman issue, Sevy issue, 2:13:16.560 --> 2:13:19.640 the SEV fifteen as the best player in the world 2:13:19.680 --> 2:13:20.160 at the time. 2:13:22.760 --> 2:13:24.320 I mean this, dude, I think I told this in 2:13:24.360 --> 2:13:27.760 the when I joined Frida Egg. Like Rick Riley's game 2:13:27.840 --> 2:13:32.400 story about the Age six Masters is kind of a 2:13:32.880 --> 2:13:34.960 like part of my sports writing origin story. 2:13:34.960 --> 2:13:38.400 I didn't read it until ten years after it ran. 2:13:39.080 --> 2:13:42.000 But I was so like, kind of in awe of 2:13:42.480 --> 2:13:44.360 the way that the you could write a game story 2:13:44.400 --> 2:13:45.960 that good that would make you feel like you were 2:13:46.000 --> 2:13:49.920 reliving this event. I mean, it wasn't until the what 2:13:50.080 --> 2:13:52.160 was probably what six years ago or something that the 2:13:52.200 --> 2:13:55.880 Masters put these things up on the broadcast I think 2:13:56.760 --> 2:13:57.640 on YouTube where. 2:13:57.480 --> 2:13:59.240 You can watch the YEP. 2:13:59.800 --> 2:14:04.120 So I didn't watch the full accounting of this until, 2:14:04.280 --> 2:14:08.200 you know, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen and my recollection or 2:14:08.200 --> 2:14:11.120 my memories of this are almost all entirely from reading 2:14:11.160 --> 2:14:13.400 print stories, like of reading that Jenkins story that I 2:14:13.440 --> 2:14:16.560 alluded to earlier, but he killed more foreigners than Eisenhower. 2:14:16.920 --> 2:14:20.400 Like it's just like that kind of shows you like 2:14:20.440 --> 2:14:22.520 how different it was, but how the power of print 2:14:22.600 --> 2:14:25.600 and the reason why I became a writer is because 2:14:25.640 --> 2:14:27.840 those written things are what kind of influenced me to 2:14:27.920 --> 2:14:28.520 get into this. 2:14:29.440 --> 2:14:34.000 Yeah, an incredible rewatch worth the time. It's three hours, 2:14:34.000 --> 2:14:36.240 which can take a while, you know, jump around, get 2:14:36.280 --> 2:14:39.200 in there. But there's so many, you know, nuggets, so 2:14:39.240 --> 2:14:43.240 many amusements. The broadcast is just hilarious in and of itself. 2:14:43.240 --> 2:14:46.120 I'm sure was you know, it's just it's forty years ago, 2:14:46.240 --> 2:14:49.800 so there's all sorts of different different vernacular, different technology, 2:14:50.720 --> 2:14:53.120 and then the greatest, you know, arguably the greatest major 2:14:53.200 --> 2:14:57.880 championship of all time. Anything else, any other amusements, nuggets 2:14:57.920 --> 2:15:00.600 you want to throw out there, total strays to unload 2:15:00.600 --> 2:15:02.839 the notebook. We don't need to end up from Stappy 2:15:02.920 --> 2:15:07.520 Jack quote, but we certainly can. Just to add to 2:15:07.560 --> 2:15:10.560 Andy's point, one of their great values of watching this 2:15:10.680 --> 2:15:13.920 are just the worst shots are the worst shots you've 2:15:13.960 --> 2:15:15.840 ever seen, and there's like a list of ten of 2:15:15.880 --> 2:15:18.320 them that you can pick from Snave on fifteen, peven 2:15:18.520 --> 2:15:22.080 Norman like four or five times, Lonner like it's just 2:15:22.640 --> 2:15:25.760 you miss you miss bad. So that's another like just 2:15:25.960 --> 2:15:29.440 interesting part of the watch. So yeah, I didn't like 2:15:29.520 --> 2:15:31.800 that the broadcast just one note on the broadcast went 2:15:31.840 --> 2:15:35.520 out with the mistake, but with Brent saying there he 2:15:35.640 --> 2:15:38.680 is hugging jack and Jackie hugging on the fifteenth green 2:15:39.080 --> 2:15:41.240 he has won the Masters again, and then it goes 2:15:41.280 --> 2:15:43.840 to faith to Black. It's of course on the eighteenth 2:15:43.880 --> 2:15:46.480 after they're walking off. It's just there's a lot of 2:15:46.520 --> 2:15:49.640 that stuff that people modern Twitter would go nuts about. 2:15:49.840 --> 2:15:53.200 So yeah, I mean I didn't have any other things really, 2:15:53.240 --> 2:15:55.760 and I mean I did a ranking of greatest hair. 2:15:57.160 --> 2:15:59.480 Because like I had number one. 2:16:00.080 --> 2:16:03.880 Yeah, Greg Norman like different best hair. I mean, so 2:16:03.920 --> 2:16:06.080 back then, you know a lot of golfers. Now you 2:16:06.080 --> 2:16:08.120 see him, they take off their hat and they're balding 2:16:08.200 --> 2:16:10.000 or whatever. It's probably because they've been wearing hats for 2:16:10.000 --> 2:16:13.280 twenty years whatever. But the locks were like incredible back then, 2:16:13.360 --> 2:16:15.640 So like I had longer at number five, but what 2:16:15.720 --> 2:16:18.880 an incredible like coy. Nick Price's hair is like a 2:16:19.000 --> 2:16:22.840 perfectly helmet. Tom Kite wears advisors. You can't really see it, 2:16:22.880 --> 2:16:25.520 but he had great hair. Corey Pavin's hair is incredible, 2:16:26.120 --> 2:16:28.440 and then Greg Norman's really is like it's the King. 2:16:28.480 --> 2:16:30.160 I don't know if you can put Jack in hair. Look, 2:16:30.200 --> 2:16:33.360 Jack has great hair too. It's just like how blonde 2:16:33.520 --> 2:16:36.480 and you know, kind of perfect hair to Norman and 2:16:36.600 --> 2:16:39.240 Nicholas have. It's kind of crazy that like that that 2:16:39.520 --> 2:16:42.879 level of blonde doesn't really exist for some reason, we've 2:16:42.920 --> 2:16:45.279 bred it out of the modern game everything. 2:16:46.680 --> 2:16:46.960 I don't know. 2:16:47.040 --> 2:16:48.840 I just love the lack of hats. That's such a 2:16:48.879 --> 2:16:49.280 neat thing. 2:16:50.080 --> 2:16:53.760 My guy, Calvin Pete finishes eleventh in this Masters is high. 2:16:53.800 --> 2:16:58.080 It's his best Master's performance ever. You know, Calvin had 2:16:58.360 --> 2:17:01.200 some real frustrations and issues with the Masters. You know, 2:17:01.320 --> 2:17:04.880 years prior he'd basically kind of detonated him after playing 2:17:04.920 --> 2:17:06.800 poorly here. He'd basically said, you know, how would you 2:17:06.840 --> 2:17:08.800 feel like if you came to a place where you 2:17:08.800 --> 2:17:10.760 didn't feel like you were welcome. I feel like I'm 2:17:10.879 --> 2:17:12.440 you know, I feel like a slave. I feel like 2:17:12.480 --> 2:17:15.720 I'm a second class citizen, and people just were like, whoa, 2:17:15.760 --> 2:17:18.640 like you nobody talks about the masters like this, and 2:17:18.760 --> 2:17:20.480 he kind of walked it back and was like, yeah, 2:17:20.640 --> 2:17:21.760 just in. 2:17:21.240 --> 2:17:23.640 The years later it was a bad mood or whatever. 2:17:23.720 --> 2:17:26.720 It's just like the crowd is cheering for him as 2:17:26.760 --> 2:17:29.760 he walks up eighteen and stuff, and then he takes 2:17:29.760 --> 2:17:30.600 his hat off and kind. 2:17:30.520 --> 2:17:31.320 Of waves it to the crowd. 2:17:31.520 --> 2:17:35.960 I mean, considering Augusta's history, pretty cool moment in eighty six. 2:17:36.000 --> 2:17:38.200 You know, we're still ten years away from Tiger, eleven 2:17:38.280 --> 2:17:40.720 years away from Tiger winning, and like the scene of 2:17:40.720 --> 2:17:43.840 all the workers in Augusta coming out to the veranda 2:17:43.879 --> 2:17:46.560 and clapping for him and stuff, but like kind of 2:17:47.520 --> 2:17:49.879 cool moments in racial history of like, I don't know 2:17:49.920 --> 2:17:52.840 that Augusta consider him say that we're they're proud of 2:17:52.879 --> 2:17:55.240 their history, but at least they've evolved over time, and 2:17:55.280 --> 2:17:57.520 I think now are thought of as like a pretty 2:17:58.120 --> 2:17:59.840 I think it was a pretty like of the Major's 2:18:00.040 --> 2:18:01.959 a pretty inclusive, pretty progressive place. 2:18:02.280 --> 2:18:05.600 Yeah, yep, I think that's fair point. That's fair point. 2:18:05.640 --> 2:18:08.280 He was there just that just one shot, essentially Pete 2:18:08.320 --> 2:18:12.279 finishing up on eighteen the top ten that the ventury 2:18:12.360 --> 2:18:15.120 quote I want to add when Norman's over, the body says, 2:18:15.120 --> 2:18:16.800 you're looking at a man who wins it outright or 2:18:16.800 --> 2:18:19.480 goes down the tent pole in a playoff. Neither of 2:18:19.520 --> 2:18:23.440 those would happen. So he added, My gracious, what a 2:18:23.560 --> 2:18:26.280 day had had? Just everything, And I'll close with what 2:18:26.320 --> 2:18:29.200 he said, It just everything seems to happen here, And 2:18:29.240 --> 2:18:32.920 that was the eighty six broadcast. Has never been a 2:18:32.920 --> 2:18:34.959 greater example of how it all just seems to happen, 2:18:35.040 --> 2:18:36.920 and felt like we got a similar thing last year 2:18:36.920 --> 2:18:41.720 in twenty five. All right, Kevin, this beefy flashback Friday Friday, 2:18:41.720 --> 2:18:44.600 thanks to Mercedes. I mean, pay my notes are like 2:18:44.760 --> 2:18:46.600 I just want to keep going through them.
