WEBVTT - Fire Drill 004: Thursday Thoughts with Geoff Ogilvy

0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:04.920
<v Speaker 1>It was like like the Old West saloon, you know,

0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:07.880
<v Speaker 1>swings open and here comes Tiger and there's that. I

0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:09.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know if we saw there's this corridor of humans

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 1>all the way from the clubhouse down to the first tea.

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Just everyone just wanted a glimpse, just like almost to

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:22.240
<v Speaker 1>reach out and touch him. Another log on the fire,

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>nobody hears get the time, all right, Jeff, we're back

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>for another fire drill. I saw you hanging out under

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 1>the tree this afternoon. We're both at the Augusta National

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Golf Club. Obviously the story of the day was Tiger Woods.

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.199
<v Speaker 1>We gotta start there. What were your impressions of his

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>play and can he keeped up this not not the

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.560
<v Speaker 1>golf so much as just the physicality of walking these hills.

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:52.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Yeah, I'm sure he can keep out

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the golf. Um, it was nuts. I mean, one out there,

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>it's not easy. I mean there's not that many people

0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>under pie. You know, he's taught for tenth which is

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty crazy. Um. He looked really tired coming up the

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:06.320
<v Speaker 1>last there's last few swings that looked like his body

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 1>wasn't moving, Like it wasn't the first time, you know. Um,

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:10.959
<v Speaker 1>so I think I don't think the challenge him his golf.

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I think the challenge is getting around. Yeah, even like

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 1>on fourteen that snipe off the tea, like that's my

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>swing where the lower body doesn't move at all, you

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 1>just come over the top, like get a little more speed.

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>But nevertheless, like that looked like a tired swing. So

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean credit Tagger that he you know, he ramming

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>that put on sixteen, incredible up and down on eteen,

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>like he's never going to give in even even if

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 1>his body is not quite working. No, I mean you're

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>not surprised he makes that power on the last day.

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 1>Really it was amazing. Yeah, and look he might as

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean they you can get he could get fit

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>of each day like he guess and probably walked out

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 1>in holes like that like that without sort of stress.

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>He could be better off for that tomorrow, or he

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>could get more tired. I mean, I don't know, but

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>he knows how he take feels except for him, but

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>it was pretty impressive. Why not in contention? Crazy? Yeah,

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>that that energy. I was right by the clubhouse door

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>when when he came out and I put this in

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 1>my store. It was like like the Old West saloon,

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, swings open and here comes Tiger and there's that.

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you saw this, this corridor of

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>humans all the way from the clubhouse down to the

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.079
<v Speaker 1>first he just everyone just wanted a glimpse, just like

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 1>almost to reach out and touch him. And even there

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 1>was a Green Jackets, hill Ear and Iansam they were

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>there like it doesn't matter who you are, you're sort

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>of swept up in the energy of it. And it

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 1>was cool to feel that. Yeah, it was nice. It

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>was cool. I was right there at that time too.

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>It's like potting the red say right, it's like I

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:29.959
<v Speaker 1>need in Augusta does all of a sudden the corridor,

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.359
<v Speaker 1>the wide corridor just appear right. Tiger walks through and

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>it's there. But it happens for everybody, but for him

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.639
<v Speaker 1>it was very defined. And there's twenty days on both sides,

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>and um, that first taste saying, um, it's pretty special

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's the best one in golf of that we

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 1>do regularly like that. It's just I don't know, all

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>the grand Jackets under the tree and all the pretenders

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>under the tray and then everyone around and I don't know,

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 1>it's just it's just it's where everyone enters the course,

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of there where everyone starts they die. It's just

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>a good spot. It's just nice. I chatted up the

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.639
<v Speaker 1>guy who actually opens the door. Um, I went, not quoting.

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Mightn't want to get him in trouble, but he's like,

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:04.919
<v Speaker 1>this is the best job in the world. Like, and

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>not long after Tiger came through, Nicholas was just finishing up.

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 1>And so this guy, he's just a random security dude.

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 1>It's only a second year. He's not like an institution.

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>But him and Jack were chatting and it was just like, yeah,

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>it's where the whole golf worlds converges, right in that spot.

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 1>And it just made a little extra energy around around

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Tiger's opening shot. And even though it's kind of this

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.880
<v Speaker 1>little wipey you know, he'll slice, that's actually progress usually

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 1>he like he's a violent hook into the ninth fairway, right,

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, one, it's not his favorite T shot, I

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>don't think. I mean, the time you build up that

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>T shot for so long though in your head, you

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>know it's a hard one to hit. Um, but he

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 1>got away with it, and yeah, and he shot one

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>under on a tough day. I mean it's not. It's

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>not that easy out there, really. I mean it looks soft,

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>but soft men is long, and it was Wendy at

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>this place. Anytime it's Wendy is hard. So fifteen seems

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 1>like it's playing really long. I mean, he played the

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 1>part five is what even for the day and looked

0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>like he's about one yard off on a few of

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>his iron shots like ten, perfect drive around the corner

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>and then just just missed it like one yard short,

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 1>rolled all the way back and he got up and down.

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, I feel like he didn't max out

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>his round at all. You know, only putty made of

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>length was on sixteen, So I don't know. It's easy

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>to get carried away and talk yourself in like you

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>could do it. I don't know if you can do it.

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>But his golf looks good though. I think if he,

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 1>if he does have that gets better every day fitness squads.

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, his body gets more used to it. Like

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.919
<v Speaker 1>who knows, I mean, you certainly know what he's he

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 1>knows what he's doing on the last night, holes right,

0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:32.360
<v Speaker 1>if you can get into the mix, Yeah amazing, yeah, um,

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 1>you were saying before we start taping, this is all

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 1>over again. We have we have Sunjay, we have camp Smith,

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.040
<v Speaker 1>we have Dustin. What stands out to you about this

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>early leaderboard that it's quite I mean, it's that it's

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>the finishing top three. Um and maybe I don't know,

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 1>you try to get by right in my head it's like, well,

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 1>what's the same same about this? It's really the only

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>nothing to say really except that it was quite soft,

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>and it was quite soft today. They were big pitch

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 1>marks and girls. So Sunday spun it all the way

0:04:57.920 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>off the tenth grain, which from the middle of the grain,

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>which I had seen ever before. UM, so that it

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>was playing not like a traditional Thursday maybe a bit

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 1>of a bounce on the green and firm. It was

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>one of the softer ones. That was the only thing.

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 1>But the leader board always seems it always seems to

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>throw up sort of names that you expected, and it

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.840
<v Speaker 1>seems to like a few guys that you thought we're

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>going to go great struggle a little bit. Um Cam's

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>obviously been almost the form player. Him and Scotty Scheffler

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.280
<v Speaker 1>are the form players of the year. Not surprising. Sun

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 1>Jay's thoroughbred who's going to be up in these for

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 1>a long time and d J, well, I mean he

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.719
<v Speaker 1>was all of our pick right, So yeah, exactly what

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>about Cam? He doubled Boogie's the first hole. We know

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a tough start, but mostly as a player when

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 1>you double the first hole, like what does that do

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 1>to you? And how impressed you that he was able

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>to bounce back that way? It's incredible. It's either good

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.039
<v Speaker 1>or bad. We were actually talking just before this, but

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I think sometimes you build up that the Master so

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>much in your head. It's the first major for a

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 1>long time, and like you're just you're just there's too

0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 1>much stress and like inten city there and a double

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>on the first it gets all half the year comes

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 1>out of your balloon, you know, I mean, and you

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 1>sort of you relax a little bit. It's like, oh

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.280
<v Speaker 1>you sort of your expectations go down. Well, I'm going

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:10.720
<v Speaker 1>to have a bad days. I will just relax and

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>then and then you're away, right, So or it can

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.280
<v Speaker 1>just send you crazy and you go the other way.

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I think, didn't Earnie make money at eight or nine

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:18.840
<v Speaker 1>or something when the first and still only miss the

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.040
<v Speaker 1>gap by a shot two years ago? So it happens,

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 1>and it's a sort of whole the sort of thing

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 1>that can happen. Um, But he shot sixty eight with

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.280
<v Speaker 1>a double on the first and the double on the last,

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 1>which is um zianing. Yeah, it's like crazy. So he's

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.720
<v Speaker 1>actually probably played the best today for sixteen of his

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.279
<v Speaker 1>holes at least. Um. I mean, us golf fans have

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 1>gotten to know Cam obviously in the last twelve months whatever.

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.839
<v Speaker 1>He's been on such a tear. But you guys are

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:42.840
<v Speaker 1>different generations, but you can give us some insight into

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.280
<v Speaker 1>him as a person as a player. Yeah, I mean,

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>he's a lovely man. He's a bit of it, like

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>a proper Australian smartass. Like he's always sort of being

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 1>a little bit chirpy and get it. He gives it out,

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 1>but he takes it pretty well too, and he's fine.

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Everybody likes him. Um. Incredibly hard worker. He's he's very

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:03.280
<v Speaker 1>disciplined in his approach. He has he has his things

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 1>that he likes to work on in his swing and

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 1>he makes sure he's very diligent. He makes sure he

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.159
<v Speaker 1>does them at the same thing with the putting he

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 1>goes through. He's got his little programs that he goes through.

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Um understands his game really well, doesn't seem to get

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>flustered if he's playing Paul, you're playing well. He just

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>keeps doing his thing. So I mean, for a guy

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>who's got the most undisciplined haircut on tour, the way

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>he approaches it is it's there's guys who practice longer,

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>but he does it right. He's just doing it, always

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>doing it the same, never getting ahead of himself. He's

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 1>like he's putting his building it brick by brick. It

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>feels like the way he goes about his golf. So

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>it's not surprising to see him do so well because

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 1>and he's he loves the bigger the moment the better

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>he gets, you know, like he just he loves this,

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.840
<v Speaker 1>the momentum, the big times. You know, presidents can't be

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 1>beat JT. I think they're end like pretty big win. Um.

0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I think he needs fifth. In his first he was

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>opening at Chambers Bay, which was like sort of who's

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>camp Smith, you know, I mean he just got someone starting.

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>He was over finished fifth. It'side well, but that's always

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>a good sign, right that he was like up there

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 1>top ten and his first major, like I think it

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>was his first major. So he just loves these times.

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>He loves this moment. So I imagine now he's on

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the leader board, you would expect him to hang around

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 1>most of the week. I mean, there's going to be

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 1>against some thorough breads up there. It's a hard tournament

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>to win, but you would expect him to still be

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 1>there at the end because that's how it's been recently. Right,

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>where does his short game stack up to you know,

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the all time short games? Oh yeah, he's good. Um,

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 1>But there's two shots. There's two ways to measure short game,

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 1>and there's one that like the efficiency of it and

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:35.959
<v Speaker 1>how well do they get it up and down on

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a regular basis, And he's like right at the top

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 1>on that level. And then there's the freak shows, you

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>know that Savvy's and the Fills and the Tigers that

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:43.839
<v Speaker 1>can just hit the shots that no one else can hit.

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:49.599
<v Speaker 1>You know, Cam's got one of the best, um functioning

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.079
<v Speaker 1>short games like that, and they're not in a derogatory

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 1>way like he just hits great shots from everywhere. You know,

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>But if he was twenty yards over the back of

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the fifth that the Master's I'd take Fill every time,

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. But if you take it.

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 1>There's eighteen up and downs for the day you miss

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.719
<v Speaker 1>If you missed eighteen greens camp. If every to a

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 1>player missed eighteen greens in the same spots came, would

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 1>probably win or he'd be right up there, you know. Um,

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 1>So what was your day like as as a spectator

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>out there? When if you're jiffcuse we had do you

0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 1>spend through the Masters? I'm probably a little bit of

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>a snob and that I have trouble going to watch golf. Now,

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I'd be quite happy to, like if I had some

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:29.720
<v Speaker 1>friends out there and I'd go watch them. But it's

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I've been inside the ropes and played and like fighting

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>with the people on the outside of the the ropes. It's

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 1>not my like my favorite thing. I mean, I can

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 1>stand in the spot for a little bit and so

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 1>you see how the eight greens playing, or like watch

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 1>people coming to the first or something like that. Just

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 1>the thing. But I spend most of my time in

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the clubhouse or near the clubhouse, just because I bumped

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.840
<v Speaker 1>into people I've met and known over my last twenty years,

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's just spun to chat to them, you know,

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and be a part of it. But I watched a

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.560
<v Speaker 1>little bit. Yeah, that's cool. I just want to go

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:02.840
<v Speaker 1>back to Tiger because we can parse you know, he

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 1>played this sole this way, he did this, or did that.

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>But there's just something supernatural about the guy that no

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 1>matter what he does to his body, no matter how

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 1>many times his swing changes or different coaches or whatever, controversies,

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:18.080
<v Speaker 1>he drags himself through like he just has ability to

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.679
<v Speaker 1>play this game in a way that almost nobody has

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>ever had. And um, you know I remember back in

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's two sixteenyear and I talked and that

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:27.719
<v Speaker 1>was when he was kind of his night deer and

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to understand it, and you gave me this great

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.079
<v Speaker 1>quote about you know, there's the Tigers have all great,

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 1>but you know how dondes of people can do that?

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.440
<v Speaker 1>And you went through all this stuff, and you know,

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 1>there's like there's like there's like a magic. There's like

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 1>a and ephemeral, undefinable thing that makes him Tiger wood

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>like and we just see that over and over and

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 1>it hasn't changed. And we saw two thousand nineteen here

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 1>and might see it again this week. Who knows. I mean,

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 1>how would you describe that, that that X factor that

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Tiger has I don't know. I mean, like I said,

0:10:55.679 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 1>ultimately comes down to it ultimately proves that of his

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 1>more in the head than it is in the body.

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.959
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's clearly a specimen of an athlete, one

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 1>of the best to ever play golf, played it from childhood,

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.199
<v Speaker 1>so he had more miles on his legs or more

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 1>competitive golf by the time he was sixteen than most

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 1>people had by the time the twenty five. So he

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>had all those sort of things go for him. But

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>ultimately the part of Tory and the chips at Memorial

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and the chip in at sixteen against De Marco, when

0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.320
<v Speaker 1>all those things, that's just there's a level there that

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:29.960
<v Speaker 1>no one else has ever reached. And I just think

0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 1>it's ultimately like his determination or his desire to refusal

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.080
<v Speaker 1>to lose, desire to win, has just been stronger and

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>better than I mean, it's like phelps, you know, come

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 1>down the last it's like it's not swimming anymore. Like

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 1>there's something else there. You know, they just wanted more

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 1>than everybody else, with a better level of focus and

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 1>everybody else or something the better than anyone's done it.

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Look at Jordan, how do you make those shots? You know?

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 1>That it's not just because you're shooting actions better than

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>everyone else's. It's more there, and it's got to be

0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:00.800
<v Speaker 1>somewhere inside between the years or in our makeup, not

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 1>not the physical side of it. So he's whatever that is,

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>whether it's determination, desire, will focus, or of all of

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 1>that sort of stuff. He just said more of it

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 1>than anyone's ever had. You know. That's it's it's incredible.

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 1>So let's let's let ourselves dream. It's Sunday and Tiger

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 1>is still in contention. I mean, can we see if

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:22.599
<v Speaker 1>we say, if he were to pull us off, it

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.439
<v Speaker 1>would be the greatest achievement in golf history. Yeah, that

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 1>would be pretty amazing. Um, I mean, Hoggans was pretty impressive.

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>That was eighteen months after he was never gonna walk again,

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:38.000
<v Speaker 1>you know. Um, But this is at a much older age.

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.839
<v Speaker 1>Hogan was like like sort of a bit primer in

0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 1>his age. You know, this is I mean, he's not

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.880
<v Speaker 1>young Tiger forty six Jack. I mean there's there's a

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.960
<v Speaker 1>little you know, there's a little something there. Yeah, there

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 1>is something there. I mean it would be that it

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.080
<v Speaker 1>would be nuts and surely it would be the best.

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if we said that in nineteen they do, right,

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean I just like, um, it would be more

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.080
<v Speaker 1>impressive than nineteen by a long way. I mean it

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 1>as at night was pretty crazy. I mean, you were

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 1>there like that was something else. He was like, I mean,

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:07.839
<v Speaker 1>people can be playing golf, but he was like he

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:09.559
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't have been playing golf, you know, And so that

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 1>was pretty nut. And the US hoypened too, but this, yeah,

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 1>next level most crazy thing. I probably I was chatting

0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 1>a pillar when after right around you know, the first tea,

0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.520
<v Speaker 1>and you know, he was a he was an All

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Big eight defensive back and he's from a different generation,

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 1>like those were tough guys, right, And we're talking about

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Tiger and Hogan because he knew Hogan a little bit,

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 1>and he said, well, the only difference is, you know,

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Tiger got rebuilt with all this metal and all these plates,

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:35.599
<v Speaker 1>and Hogan it was just his body. So he's like,

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I kind of give the tiebreaker to Hogan. I was like,

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:38.679
<v Speaker 1>all right, that's that's an old school point of view,

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.400
<v Speaker 1>you know. I mean, Tiger has obviously some some modern

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.560
<v Speaker 1>medicine on his side. But we're even discussing this and

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.720
<v Speaker 1>debating it. It's just It blows the mind, like, well,

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.839
<v Speaker 1>that's what he's done, and he's boning m on since

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 1>the mid on he's wrong. He just extited our expectations

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.480
<v Speaker 1>every time, you know, in every way. So that's just

0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 1>who he is. Well, if you had to put you

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>on the hot seat, what will you shoot tomorrow on

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Friday second round? I don't know. It's supposed to be

0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>really tough tomorrow and it's actually to be fair. Probably

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.880
<v Speaker 1>a good forecast for Tiger because they most of the

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.920
<v Speaker 1>field wouldn't have seen the course play as tough as

0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:11.560
<v Speaker 1>it looks like it's going to be the next two days.

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Super windy's getting cold, So I would you would go

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.440
<v Speaker 1>to the experience there because they won't have seen it

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 1>play like that, or less of them have seen it.

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 1>You've seen that before. Um, so I think that's actually

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 1>to his advantage. I don't know if cold weather it

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 1>is good or bad for the state of his body.

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>It might be good, right, I don't know. Um. And

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 1>by the way, no one even talks about his back anymore,

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Like that was the you know, fifteen months ago, that

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 1>was the defining question. Well, Tiger's back, let him play golf,

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and we've just completely forgotten about it. Obviously, had not

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 1>playing golf for a year or whatever helped them heal

0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.840
<v Speaker 1>the back and rest in a way he never had recently.

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 1>But we have no idea, Oh yeah we have. There's

0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:53.240
