So guys, welcome on. 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:09.520 Been an exciting two days of coverage. 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:12.880 Thanks Andy Pome to be here. 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:15.880 I would say it's been an exciting two days. I 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.520 wouldn't say it's been an exciting two days of coverage. 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.920 Big distinction there today, let's just get it out there. 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:24.360 Today was far better. 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:31.760 Yes, yessively improved, So, uh, you know, just add to 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:32.560 the effects. 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.360 Well, while we're on the coverage, you know what, Tron 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.200 what what's uh? What's been getting at you? Is it? 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.600 Has it been the limited uh amount of coverage in 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:43.080 the morning? 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:50.040 Uh? Well, the group were awful straight up they were 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:55.360 were terrible. It was a disgrace. I gotta I gotta 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:59.640 turn the gas down here, guys, it's getting there. We 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:05.800 get it's getting a little bit too too much natural gascon. Yeah, 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:12.639 the future groups were just not good at all. Uh, 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.160 the fact that nobody made the cut and I don't 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:17.760 think anybody made the cut in either one of the 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:19.639 future groups today in. 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:24.320 The morning, only only Luck maybe Curtis Luck did, Yeah, 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:24.600 he did. 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.280 I think they were a good combined forty some over 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:28.160 par today. 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:33.040 Yeah, and that's that's insane. You know, it's a miscarriage 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:34.400 of justice right there. 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:40.120 I think obviously the situation that's a fault is that, 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.800 you know, there's just a lack of coverage in the morning. 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:47.360 But you know, the future groups, it's pretty clear you 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.840 got to win a Masters to be in a feature group, 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.840 So you know, Rory just needs to play better. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.639 Yeah, well all right, so here's the thing. Do they 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:03.320 need to do a featured hole on like two and three? 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:05.280 Like those are two good holes? 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.480 That would be awesome, that would be like. 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:10.280 Those are two great holes. 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:16.160 Great holes. Yeah, I would, I mean I would enjoy 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.200 watching those so much more than eleven. Eleven is kind 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.959 of a boring hole to watch, Yeah. 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:22.640 Except what. 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:28.520 Has just straight up Hubris and tries to get after 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:29.080 a flag. 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.120 Although the shot John rom hit on eleven today, I 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.600 don't know if you guys saw that was just absolute Stones. 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:41.560 Yeah, he's just in general is the absolute Stones. He's 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:45.480 missed a lot of short putts and he's still right there. 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:52.560 So he works the wall both ways, I mean just 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.520 like without abandoned, like I've seen him work it, just 0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:00.480 a gnarly draw off the trees and and he hits 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:05.640 that low stinging cut that makes me fully erect. 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:10.280 And that low snap hoook. I'm fifteen, so. 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.800 I didn't see that one. The power went out today too, 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.000 so I didn't. I'm not a great person to talk 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:20.360 to about the uh about the coverage today just because 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.720 I missed the first hour of coverage. 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:28.560 So that's it was truly delightful today to watch so 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:29.360 much so there was. 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.080 No like SDP soliloquy at the beginning. 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:34.880 I think they got pretty into it. 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:36.880 Yeah, it was just like a couple of minutes. It 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.000 wasn't It wasn't lengthy like yesterday. 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:41.840 I mean yesterday yesterday they got to go through all 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.040 the opening ceremony stuff and they gotta there's obviously an 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.760 understandably some some arnie stuff to go through and whatever. 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.479 I mean, it's it's hard to separate, like, you know, 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.159 how into it the three of us are and the 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.520 people who listened to this podcast are with. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:57.360 I get that. 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.440 It's hard to separate that with the people who watch 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:03.039 golf once year and you know, but here's the thing. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:10.559 So, and this is why I got after really Payne 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.279 on Twitter and not ESPN, because I felt like a 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:19.839 lot of that was mandated by Augusta and then you know, 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:24.719 the narrative and kind of uh, just just fluffing the 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.599 Augusta narrative and fluffing the Augusta story, you know. 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.120 Yeah, I mean I think that's kind of one of 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:32.799 the traditions unlike any other though. 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:37.039 Yeah, I think I saw that. I mean, it's it's 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.120 it is what it is, but it's what has propped 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.120 up the tournament and why you know, everybody gets so 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:44.440 excited about the tournament. 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.320 So but it seems like there's some sort of disconnect 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.880 between when I hear something like, oh, we want to 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.440 we want to televise every shot of every player of 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:59.400 the tournament and they have the capability to show a 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:04.320 lot more then they've been showing this week, and like 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:09.080 the amen corner, Like, props to that team because that's 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:10.440 been a lifesaver this week. 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.479 Yeah, it's been super good, has. 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.679 Been you know, like as soon as the non feature 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.560 group finally gets stay in corner, then he got him 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.480 for pretty much the rest of the round. 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:22.919 Yeah, that's the only the only problem is when you 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:27.480 get that perfect storm of like featured groups are also 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:31.799 an amen corner, and it's just like, oh, it's just brutal. 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.240 Like today, I flipped it on. I think I texted 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.679 Utron after this, but I flipped it on and Coucher 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.599 was the first person that I see play thirteen and 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.159 the first the first thing I see is him making 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.960 a birdie putt, and the first words I hear from 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.320 the announcers are like, you know, oh, so good to 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.919 see him lay up and make birdie. And now he 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.640 that gets into just just seventy six shots off the 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:55.840 lead now, like. 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.160 Well, so, so Coucher is paired with the Nick grib tomorrow. 0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:04.200 Right, Coocher is lurking. He's he's got a big Saturday 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.559 Saturday showdown. You know, I wanted to touch on it later, 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:13.920 but we're here now. So Tron, what's gonna happen tomorrow? 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.160 He's gonna get vaporized the sea. 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.880 I mean, it seems like the conditions kind of favor 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:23.400 him though. 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:28.640 The winds breaking, it's gonna be. It's gonna be firm, fast, 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:30.400 no wind tomorrow. 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.200 It's gonna be firm, I think it is. 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.800 It's been really windy last couple of days. They're gonna 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.040 they're gonna they're gonna ramp that thing up tomorrow. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:40.840 Yeah, but the fairways are still gonna be a little 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:48.320 bit soggy. Nobody's gonna be getting. 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.119 I think it's more the greens are green. 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.680 They're gonna be tough. Pins too, They're gonna those those 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.119 pins are gonna be They're gonna be nasty. It's gonna 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.680 be it's not gonna be just about hitting the faraway. 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:57.360 It's gonna be hitting it on the right side of 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:58.920 the pharaway. See at the right angle. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:06.680 Well, so that are with maybe angles. God, this guy 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.880 just beats off to with an angles. He's like he's 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:16.640 like a geometry uh geometry fiend. But all right, So 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.600 so here's the deal. So I think it comes back 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:23.280 to our boys in the fore play pod wanting this 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:28.040 to play out like a US Open. And that's not why. 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.880 That's not why the Masters just been a great tournament 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.000 to watch over the years. Is I don't want to 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.880 see these guys shoot seventy one and grind their tits off, 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.800 like I want to see birdies on thirteen and fifteen 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.400 and you know, maybe one on twelve and maybe one 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:46.320 on sixteen like like that I don't like seeing. I 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.080 want to see somebody shoot a Saturday sixty five and 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.360 make a charge. Yeah, I mean there's no really just 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:52.520 kind of girding the coins. 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.559 The wind. The wind is what is causing that. I mean, 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.079 when you got twenty five on our wind on a 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.360 course that's ration up like the way it is, it's 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:02.319 gonna be just But. 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.480 You said they're gonna talk the pins tomorrow. Yeah, but no, 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:07.840 put the pins in the Saturday spots where. 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.960 They're twenty twenty five mile an hour wind is what 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:14.640 is causing all the all the scoring trouble, Like that's 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.720 like the hardest ship to play in in the. 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.840 Wa But you're telling me that the two spots that 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.280 they put the pin on, was that a different Friday 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.600 pin on fifteen today than it normally is. 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.719 I don't fink the pin's been I feelskably, isn't it 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.960 the Sunday pin where it was accessible location on fifteen 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:32.840 either day. 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.640 That that was really accessible. It was in the back 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:37.319 like if you're going to hit a if you're hitting 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.720 in with like a going for and two. The problem 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.719 is it is going into a north wind, so you're 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.280 playing into twenty five million hour wind, Like the balls 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.240 are just not going anywhere. It's five hundred and thirty 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.200 yard part. But that back pin is the most successible 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:51.839 pin to be coming in with all that time. 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.839 I disagree, If I disagree. If it's into the wind, 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.640 it's a much more that's a much harder pin to 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.920 get at. Why if go are laying up. 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.959 If they're laying but if you're going for a par 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.080 five and two and you're hitting a high three wood 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:08.680 or a long iron, you want the pin. 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.280 Back green that sloped back to front. 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.560 I mean that's when you're hitting it over water, you 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.680 need as much green as you can get to stop 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:18.160 the ball. 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.640 So when you put the dictator hit it in the 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:22.760 back water today on sixteen. 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:26.560 Yeah, he had a bad shot fifteen you. 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.040 No, but on like under the water on. 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.679 Oh yeah, gotcha. I feel like that is like one 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.000 of the most underrated, Like that's one of the things 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.720 when you go to the course in person that blew 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.120 me away the first time was how in play that 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:43.200 backwater seems to be, especially like when it gets firm 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:44.880 and the balls are bouncing on the green or you 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.400 catch it downslope or something like, it's just crazy. Nobody 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.840 ever thinks about that backwater, but it's it's always cool 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.080 to see a couple of balls going there. 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:53.840 I think they need to shave it all the way down, 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.440 like they've got that little passure rough in there. Just 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:58.520 shave it all the way down. 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.839 It's just well goes away from you though. If you're 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.480 back there, like it's just so hard. 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.120 You just said you wanted to see more birdies and 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.880 eagles and sixty fives, and then he just said, you know, 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:11.120 you need to shave it down. 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:18.560 So that's the If they made fifteen green go all 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.960 the way back to the pond on sixteen, then it 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:26.040 would be like guys putting it from like dropping it 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.400 and then putting it like seventy yards like that would 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:28.959 be awesome. 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:33.360 Too, but goes Tron goes to England. Once that is 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:35.599 seventy yard putts. 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.120 You could get a three or a four going, but 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.640 then you can get in like an eleven or twelve 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:44.760 going to like it'd be both into the spectrum or 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:49.000 a nine. Yeah, over nine, I think I think we've 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:50.200 already got the nine going. 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.080 All right, So uh, let's talk about the guys at 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.400 the top. We got uh, we got the rictator. We've 0:11:56.440 --> 0:12:00.600 got Thomas Peters, my boy, so good my line? 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:07.160 I U, I don't think you've met anybody who doesn't 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.920 like Thomas Peters. What is not to like? 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:14.800 We've got We've got Charlie Hoffman, you know, Gary Busey, quasi, 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.320 look like we've got uh, and then we've got uh, 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:24.679 who's the last one? Uh, Sergio? Ye, So we got 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.560 none of them. None of them are major winners. Who 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.280 who do you guys like out of those four to 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.679 get their first major championship if you're gonna get one 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.800 of them, I don't know. 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:41.000 I mean Ricky, I guess just Ricky seems like kind 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:44.720 of he's he's had the most recent, you know, the 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.040 most recent proof that he can kind of get it done. 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.280 Peters you know, remains to be seen what we can 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.880 expect from him on the weekend, Sergio. There's a pretty 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:56.280 good body of evidence. 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:56.400 Uh. 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:02.319 What might have I'm telling you, I'm not rooting angry. 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:07.200 I'm not rude Oliver west Wood always no, no, no, no. 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.800 Not at all. Let me finish, Let me finish. I'm 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.400 not riding as hard as you, because it would be 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:16.280 condescending to say that I was. But I'm so in 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:20.920 for a Sergio win. I would absolutely likely. 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:22.720 It's Sev's birthday on Sunday. 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:24.960 Sunday, that's gonna be that. 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:30.719 That was Beaten Baker once. Every Spanish player ever to 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.640 be Sev. He's like, it doesn't even remind you of Sev. 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.719 It's like it's like every black person ever reminds you 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:43.280 of Tiger, like like every every Asian guy ever reminds 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:44.760 you of like Jumbo Zaki. 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.439 There were two of the worst takes from the broadcast 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:52.520 thus far were and they both involved my boy John 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:57.719 Rahm were uh one Faldo saying that rom was his 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.400 dark horse pick, when I believe he was the fifth best, 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:02.800 fifth highest. 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.559 That that was ship knucks boy too. 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.480 Yeah, but to call him a dark horse pick that's 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:14.559 what ship knucks stupid. And number two was the one 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.240 tron I think you pointed out was Ian Baker Finch saying, 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.760 you know, doesn't Rob's game remind you of Sevy? And 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:23.720 or can you name all the ways of something like? 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:25.560 Can you think of all the ways his game reminds 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.880 you of Sevy? It's like no, literally, like literally, I 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:28.360 can't think of. 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:33.160 What literally one way Ramsey today said that that ro 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.240 Rob reminds him of the thumb, like just somebody's thumb. 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:45.360 He kind of as I'm just saying, but and then 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.560 he said he couldn't. He looks like somebody, but he 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.560 couldn't put his finger on it. Something else. 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.680 Well, So, of of those four, I mean, I'm I'm 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:58.240 going to Ricky, what do you guys? What are you guys? 0:14:58.360 --> 0:14:59.800 Like? Who do you? Who do you got? Tron? 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:01.520 Uh? 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.720 I've been big on the Dictator all week. I think, Uh, 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.920 he's got that look in his eyes. His shot shape, 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:13.360 I don't. I mean, I feel like he's kind of 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.000 hitting the fade off the t now, but his shot 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.560 shape irons. I feel like he hits kind of a 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:22.360 preferred drunk. But I'm going none of the above I'm going. 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.160 With I think I'm going none of the above as well, 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.200 you're going with the Mick rib, You're going with Phil. 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.560 I can tell, oh, definitely good to Phil. 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:31.360 That didn't get on your face. 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.640 It's not a video podcast, but. 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.200 Uh yeah, yeah, I don't know. I got I like 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.680 my boy Peters, but I'm uh, we'll see what he's 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.000 got on the weekend. I think he's got like. 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.760 Just the fact that like he could have he could 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:52.720 have absolutely just packed up and gone home after what 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.520 did he shoot forty well, I. 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.720 Mean he had even part he said he was uh, 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.400 he was five under through ten and then. 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.640 He yeah, even just to play the last eight and 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:06.040 five over. I mean any like it he could have. 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.800 He could have quickly become the forgotten man and nobody 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.880 would have blamed him. And to come back and like 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.760 do that today was awesome. So cool. 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.920 He's he's got games. I kind of want Charlie Hoffman 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.760 to like win, just so people on the internet stop 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.000 acting like he can't win a golf tournament. 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.160 And he's won. He's a very good player. 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.640 Here's here's here's a Charlie Hoffman take. So remember the 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:35.680 heritage a few years ago when it got like mega windy, 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:41.200 but he was leading through the wind. Yeah, and then 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.520 like I think I think Westwood ended up winning or 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:49.960 not Westwood, Sorry sorry DJ McDowell ended up winning, but 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.360 it was like it was crazy windy the whole time. 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.200 But like Hoffman shipped down his leg on Saturday, but 0:16:56.320 --> 0:17:03.520 I neils go to bed, guys. I feel like Hoffman 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:06.720 kind of got his bed wedding out of the way 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:12.359 today and he can kind of go back to being 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:17.920 just kind of playing golf tomorrow, whereas instead of my 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.320 take was he was gonna he was gonna shoot his 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:25.880 pants tomorrow, but now he doesn't really. I mean, yeah, 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:29.200 he's sleeping on a lead, but he shot seventy five 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:34.120 or six today. He's just kind of, you know, he's 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:34.920 just doing his thing. 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:35.119 Now. 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.560 He's just kind of another another week now, you know. 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:44.240 I think every every golfer, like very rarely does someone 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.320 win a tournament where they just blow the doors off 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:50.639 all week long. And you always have one bad stretch 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:54.719 of golf within your tournament, and I think it's how 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:58.200 you deal with and respond to that bad stretch. It's like, 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.720 did Thomas Peters get his one bad stretch out on 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:06.160 Thursday afternoon. But it'll be interesting to see. I don't 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.920 I think Hoffman. I think the wind really favors a 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.240 guy like Hoffman because he's such a good ball striker. 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:14.680 I think when the wind dies, you're going to see 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:16.959 some of these other guys that are a little bit 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.040 further back that aren't. You know, you look at the 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.560 leaderboard's staffed with ball strikers, but you know, you look 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.840 at a guy that survived. I think somebody that's flying 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.960 like so under the radar is Ryan Moore, h who's 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.480 just like sitting there at one under Like I mean, 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.680 William mcgertz been just unbelievable, which. 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.359 All right, So buddy of mine said today, he said, 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:43.200 if if you had a bet on anybody, including the 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.119 odds to win it, just with the odds right now 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:47.760 he had been on Justin Rose. 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.000 That's that's kind of what I was thinking. Man, That's 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:54.680 what I was thinking too. He's just so good, like 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.280 he's just I don't know why, I just can't get 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:01.480 excited about watching him. He's got every like, he's got 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:06.040 every reason to just be a superstar, and I just 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.479 can't get just can't get pumped when I watch him. 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:12.200 But like he hit if you like he was kind 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:15.320 of I don't know, the not the flashiest shot in 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:17.160 the world, but the shot he hit into nine today 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:24.320 was like just so smart and sexy. After watching everybody 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:28.040 just get mutumboed from that green and just not being 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.680 able to control the spin and completely just zipping it 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.280 back down the hill, Rose just like the perfect spot, 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.080 perfect amount of spin, just snuggles it up in there 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:39.440 to like three feet and like a couple of the 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.600 up and downs he made, or just like he's just 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.080 so tidy, like he. 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:49.440 I think he's finished runner up there twice, but with 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:52.159 his under par total, like I think last year was 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:55.600 like fourteen under or whatever, his under par total would 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.680 have won like all but like four or five Masters, 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.200 and both times that he's fit sh runner up. So 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:03.879 it's it's kind of crazy how you look at that 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.119 guy and he doesn't have any wins. It just shows 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:08.920 how hard it is to win one of these things. 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:12.760 I guess who you think about. 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:16.840 How many how many awkward web shots this course demands, 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.720 and you think he'd struggle here, but he's like it 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:24.600 like brings out the best of them. Just crazy because 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:26.880 I feel like he's always the one that's flubbing those 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.680 sixty yard pitches, you know. Yeah, but he seems to 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:35.399 really he seems to really enjoy this place. But I mean, 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:39.159 like Kimer, I mean Kymer going when he shot seventy 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:43.320 eight yesterday and damn Nier was playing bogey golf on 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:45.639 the back nine and then comes back and shoots sixty 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:48.720 eight today, Like that's that's insane. 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.119 What who does speak? 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:52.680 Who? 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:54.280 I mean speed is we. 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:57.040 Need to we need to dedicate about fifteen minutes speed here. 0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:00.200 I feel like, I mean everybody on the on the 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:05.080 McRib like what Speef has. Like I just am so 0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:07.240 blown away by Speef. 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:12.159 Rian Rory grinded his ass off. He hasn't had the 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:16.960 driver either day. He's putted relatively well. He's missed a 0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:19.840 couple short ones. He got boned up by the flagstick 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:23.240 today on eighteen. But like, I don't know, I feel 0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:27.240 like he's just years ago or three years ago, would 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:31.080 have would have just bailed in and kind of probably 0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:33.840 pissed away another three or four shots and been been 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:36.800 at plus five or plus six and then played decent 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.040 one all on Saturday and then gone out and shot 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:41.640 sixty six on Sunday and back door top ten where 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:45.440 now a back door top ten round on Sunday gets 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:50.040 him actually close to the lead much less if he 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:52.800 plays a lot on Saturday. He's right, he's right in 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:53.240 the mix. 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:55.840 This is this is how I feel about Speef, like 0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:59.359 I like the exactly everything you just said is. 0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:01.840 How I feel about Yeah, he made a nine. 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:06.040 He made a nine, and he's he's right there, he's 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:07.000 four shots off the lead. 0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:12.600 I mean he's like just so man'. 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:17.159
