WEBVTT - Scottie slips to runner-up again, future of the John Deere, and Open qualifying stories 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.120 Now, the shotguns Starting golf is full of mathematics. There's 0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:06.240 a lot of a lot of setup work that we 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:08.200 have to do in order to make a tournament work. 0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.080 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. 0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:25.560 Alright, alright, alright, did no man dart, your. 0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.560 Grudings are welcome to a Wednesday edition at the Shotgun Start. 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.519 It is July first, Indy. 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:47.479 How we do it? 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:52.760 Bred Dan, I'm doing fantastic. I gotta say, what a 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.480 what a great surprise. I didn't even realize that it 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:58.600 was the first of the month recording. I mean that 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.080 means July is going to be rate why because it 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.920 started off with the first of the month recording. I 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.040 think June was the first of the month recording, if 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:07.880 I'm not mistaken. 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:12.840 Pretty much great month, great month for Windy Clark. It 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.080 was a good month for Windy Clark, that for Greape. 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.480 Since we bad month to be a bottle of grape 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.360 looking to see it's next day. I suppose. 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:28.720 Since we last talked, we had a resolution of the 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.200 Travelers Championship, of an event you maligned I think a 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:32.600 little too. 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.080 I did you align it? I said, I enjoyed it. 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:36.400 I enjoyed watching it. 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:42.360 You you rather a cut to just send me out 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.119 to the wolves on social media. 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.840 I made you put it out there, and it was 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:48.880 a rough cut. It wasn't a good luck for you. 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.040 It was chopped in a way that made you look 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.560 like you ranted and raved and raved about it and 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.640 gave it no credit at all. 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.640 You took away all the good things I said about 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:02.480 it and just put me out for this is a 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:08.320 sacrificial lamb for social media engagement. There's just absolutely disrespectful. 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.960 And I love that, you know, I get, I get, 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:16.160 you know, notifications of like you know, shotgun start has 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.440 invited you to be a collaborator. Shotgun starts inviting you 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.480 to post this to your story. No, no, no, you're 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:28.000 just asking me to amplify your social media bait. 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:32.680 There was no collaborate quest unlike you know, us sending 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:36.119 a design disaster to Lost Marsh kind of a similar 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:39.400 thing maybe to this. They didn't accept I did not 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:44.320 collaborate with you on this, you said, clip and cut. 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.359 I enjoyed watching the Travelers. I did say that part 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:47.960 it happened. 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.320 Yeah, you know, I think you pulled up I think 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.600 you wanted to go harder, and I think you were 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.400 ready to. And then I threw out a lot of 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.680 positive comments. You had a Scottie Victor playoff, and you 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.440 caught I couldn't go full bore the way you wanted to, 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:04.519 judging from text earlier. 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:09.520 In the day, actually was the opposite, because I watched 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.440 the eclip and I was like, you know, maybe I 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.000 went a little too hard, and I was thinking about 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.960 before how you know, I wanted to go a little 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:24.120 bit softer, but then the moment swept me away and I. 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.839 Ended up going harder than I would have liked. Yeah, 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.560 that's fine. If this is not be apologizing. And if 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:31.280 you want such a. 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:34.920 You know, if you want such shine of rainbows blown 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.400 up your butt often paid for by sponsors or whatever 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.200 else or conflicts of interest with various rights, this that 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:42.440 or the. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.040 Other, go somewhere else. Go somewhere else. 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.800 You could you could go go patronize an account that 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.720 says they're not not affiliated with the tour even though 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:52.119 they are. 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:58.240 I uh, speaking of I got in the car yesterday 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.320 and I put on some PGA tour video and. 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:07.200 I drove your car while we were at Shitnacock, and 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.920 I loved that. It was just like, yeah, it's a 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:15.720 favorite in his radio. I'm clearly regularly listening to that 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:16.640 in a car. 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.800 I can't say prior to like the last six weeks, 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.839 I've given it more than five minutes of my entire 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:25.560 life this station, and now I will occasionally flip it on. 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.760 They had two individuals on there saying GPC. I was 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.400 just I almost wanted to record it. TPC River Highlands 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:34.400 might be the best golf course on tour. 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:34.960 I think it was. 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.320 Dnnis was one, So I assume that it's Dennis Paulsen, 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:42.160 and how technically great it is because everybody should be 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:46.599 shooting fifty eight given how short it is, and it's 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:52.039 so technically good that they're not that they're not shooting 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:56.279 fifty eight because it's so short. It's essentially all wedges, wedges, wedges, 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.080 wedges on the back nine, and these guys. 0:04:58.760 --> 0:04:59.400 Got a struggle. 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.880 They're shooting sixty eight and sixty sevens and so it's 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:06.400 such a technically incredible golf course. And I was I 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.960 was hollering, laughing, but it seemed like a direct rebuke 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.560 to your take on Sunday Night Monday morning. 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.359 But we did. 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.560 There are people feel strongly about the event. It's a 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.160 good event. It's a good event. I don't think they're 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.120 going to build a new golf course in Connecticut where 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.880 land is not cheap right now and just to I 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.600 don't know, not fix something that's not really broken. I 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.000 would say that the event is not broken. Of all 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.160 the events on the tour, it's not broken at all. 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:38.080 It's rather successful. Scotty Scheffler was not successful in getting 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:43.640 across the line, hits it in closer than Victor was 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.239 behind him in the fairway, hits first, stuffs it. Victor 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:51.560 hits a very nice nine iron probably what three feet 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.640 four feet farther away, similar line and drains it first. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.760 And Scotty miss his second and he does not, you know, 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.000 leaves it high side, does not. 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:01.440 Get the one. 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:06.560 Another tough, tough loss close, but no cigar situation for Scotty. 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:13.680 Is this permanently, irreparably damaging him And no, no, I 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.839 was listening. I was watching Golf channel right after. You know, 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.120 it was like one of those it was like talk. 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.279 About a boom for like a. 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:28.279 Morning golf Monday morning Golf channel coverage, Like I watched 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.120 coming out of it. You know, it was kind of 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.280 it was like an electric fifteen minutes of golf. 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:36.799 Golf showed up ticket. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.320 You know, I loved Hovelin when he made the Potts reaction. 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.360 I mean, he was just so like he knew how 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.120 big that was. I thought he he kind of like 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.400 this is one of the great aspects of match play. 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.240 And I why I'm excited about. 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.560 The tour probably going to match play for the playoffs 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.920 is this psychology of like if I make the eight footer, 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:07.320 it makes your putt. Because like psychologically, Scotty, I think, 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.720 thought he was going to win and Victor, you know, 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.600 he's standing in the fairway and he's he has to 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.680 hit it close, and he hits it close. 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.720 But like he had a hard putt. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.920 He had to make like an eight nine footer and 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:26.200 he makes it. And at that point Scotty's putt, you 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.000 had some stats person will tell me, I'm you know, 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.120 it's actually the same length put and he had the 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:36.560 same probability to make it. But that putt got two 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:41.200 feet longer after Victor made his, and then he he 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.640 just missed it. On the high side. He seemed to 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.400 infer that he hit a good putt and then he 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.200 he just had too much pace on it. But that 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.560 wouldn't be a good putt because you had too much 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:52.200 base on it. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:57.240 So the face is part of the putting. No, I 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.160 like the notion. I think this was from uh, he 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.600 took a run at you. I'm scrolling. He's took a 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.320 run at your little our social cutout says bad take. 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.080 Rick Golf's who may or may not be a real 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:13.760 person on Twitter said, in my opinion, he just says 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.200 Andy Johnson Friday with a bad take about TPC being 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:18.680 a just graze in a bad court. 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.119 Do you quote the video? Do you tweet the video? 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:25.160 Tweeted the video. I love that we're giving him too much. 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.280 Not too intrude here. I was just looking at the 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.880 Instagram comments. You know who got involved in the Instagram comments? 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:36.320 Who Trey Wingo said that you're stupid? 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.520 Oh god, I love this what you guys are doing 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.360 to me. Look at this, This is stephen A. We 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.240 create like fake drama and now everybody's humming. Everybody's going 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.920 for the bait. Wasn't bait? I have I have? 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.520 I have know Andy thinks the golf course as a joke, 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.400 I think that's not that's a well well held opinion. 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.960 All Trey Wingo asked us to go talk to the 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.240 players and see why they loved it so much. Oh 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.920 my god, didn't tune in Lunch with the Boys where 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.800 we asked both Shane Lowry and Russell Henley about the travelers. 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.120 Get on that, Trey Wingo and then come. 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:08.560 At us love. 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:15.640 Hey, we're raising awareness like the player should be the 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:20.040 source and the armiter of like the professional golfers, the 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.280 ones who said it's a vacation and a week off tray. 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.000 Where go go make some more thumbnails looking like your 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:30.560 flabbergasted coming into golf. Look at this, we're just starting 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.880 media beefs here. The Rick Golf's had an interesting take. 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.480 I wonder if you've subscribed to this. Scheffler misses a 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.880 five footer to lose the tournament. In my opinion, he 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.160 lost it when he hit the better, better iron shot 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:47.800 and approach all the pressure, so we should have hit 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:48.880 him fifty feet away? 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.280 What is he what's the suggestion here? You know, I 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:52.920 don't want to. 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.959 You lost And when he hit the better iron shot approach, 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.840 should he aimed away from the flash? He aimed to 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.839 the bunker, where should what is the suggestion here? Now 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:06.040 I get it. The dynamic when Victor makes it on him, 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.760 that putt changes, Yeah, but you still want to be 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:15.439 closer to the whole than farther. It's it's like the 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:19.040 penalty kick issue, right, I mean honestly, the pressure of 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.439 a penalty kick, if it's do or die, right, that's 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.840 that changes it. Then when you're the first kicker or 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:30.080 the second kicker PK or whatever the terminology is. Like 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.520 watching these last yesterday was electric. The late night in 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:37.439 the game, the Morocco game, and then uh Germany really interesting. 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.679 I know, probably the purest hate that the game has 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.439 resolved that way. But you know, Morocco had to make 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.680 one of two you know what great spots? What's that guy? 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.720 Fourth was like the best? The guy kicking forth like 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.560 if he misses, oh we still now we just got 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.000 to make the fifth and final one. If I make, 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.839 it's over. Essentially it's over the best spot. So it's 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.080 of like Scheffler is sitting there pretty like I'm in 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:04.839 tight A lot of pressure on Vicar. But as soon 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.280 as Vicker changes, the dynamic, and that's what you're talking 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.760 about with match play the pressure shifts immediately. 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:14.160 You know, I think. 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:18.280 This is a preposterous take. Should have hit it far, 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:20.840 they should have hit it further away. 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:26.000 That's like saying, hey, you know, they lost it when 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.920 they got the wide open layup. They should have settled 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:35.280 for a contested, mid range jump shot over that. But 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:40.560 because the revisionist history of this is so preposterous, because 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:49.200 you can only play a shot by shot in golf, he. 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.320 Was in the fairway hitting first, and he hit it 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:56.640 to three feet. At no point was anybody watching like, oh, 0:11:56.640 --> 0:12:00.920 you should have hit it further away. 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.240 Victor Hobbwood hit a great shot to eight or nine feet, 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.559 and still while they're walking to the green, I'm like, uh, 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.839 Scotty's gonna win. Scotty's gonna win. Victor has a putt 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.480 that's less than fifty percent make rate. Scotty has a 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:20.040 putt that I would say circumstantially was probably like an 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:24.679 eighty percent make rate, you know, I know that analytically 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.040 it's like a ninety seven percent make rate inside three 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:29.480 feet or whatever it is. 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.640 I think it was measured two feet eight inches. 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.920 I'm not sure what exactly the number is on that, 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.000 but anyways, I would say that he had it under 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:44.560 no circumstances. Did he lose this by hitting it too 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.920 close to the hole. I can't believe we're even talking 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:53.200 about this. You're just you're trying to wind me up here. 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.800 Honestly, I thought it was effing hilarious, the whole notion, 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.199 and then I wanted to giggle about it. It's hilarious. 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:05.160 He lost him when he hit it closer. Boom over. Anyways, 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:06.079 Scotty loses. 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.080 God, I wish I would have hit that to forty 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:13.679 five feet. I wouldn't have lost Uh, I don't know. 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.680 You know, you know what Scotty probably was wishing what 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.520 he had hit it closer. Do you know what you 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.160 do when when you hit a shot close and you're 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.640 like five feet away, is like you're I've always like 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.320 in my head, I'm like, God, I wish I would 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.880 have hit it like two feet closer, feet closer. 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.160 When I'm ten feet away. Do you know what I 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:31.640 think about? 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.520 Would have been nice to you a little bit closer 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:36.320 when I'm twenty feet away? 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.920 Do you know what I think? Never once in my 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:44.120 life have I been like I wish I was further away. 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.120 Yeah, if all things being equal, if you're on the 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.959 same line. Of course, if it's up pill versus break, 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.320 last break, we're talking about on the same line. Obviously. 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:55.679 I hate it when I hit a pro chests from 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.520 one hundred and sixty yards to three feet. 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.480 Do we make anything of this with Scotty, Like he's 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.720 not winning this year like he used to. He's playing 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:11.160 really well or very high level golf. Close could very 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.200 well go on to win the Scottish in the Open 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:21.760 in every playoffs event forever in August. You know, I 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.720 don't want to say they start to compound or build 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.440 on each other, but that can't happen. We just watched 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.160 Roy McElroy go through ten years without a major when 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.680 it felt like he should be winning, you know, one 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.240 out of every six it felt like, or he was 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:41.160 in one out of every four. It just you never know, 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:46.640 even with the supreme talents. And I think he would 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.680 have rather like he was happy you hit it closer. 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.920 I think he would have rather won than lost. But 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.480 I don't know that it's going to leave irreparable scar tissue. 0:14:55.520 --> 0:15:01.320 It's just it's it's been like probably a frustrating three 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.720 months or so, right with a lot of clothes but 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:05.360 no cigars for Scotti. 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:10.440 Yeah, I you know, this is the funny stuff about golf. 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:12.960 I think he looked better this week than he's looked 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.880 in a long time. You know, I think Sunday was scratchy, 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.920 but you know, the sixty obviously was kind of the 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.160 tour de force that we're used to seeing, and we 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:25.640 you know, in the sixty four was a great, great. 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:26.760 Round, great opening round. 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.280 I think the thing that I would be a little 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:36.040 worried about is just the final round bugaboos. You know, 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.720 He's had a lot of shots to get it across 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:43.160 the line and just hasn't hasn't capitalized, And this is 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.760 just somebody that we've grown accustomed to doing that he's 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.680 I think, like the discourse last year and the year 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:56.280 before was like what he's doing and making look so 0:15:56.520 --> 0:16:02.520 easy is so incredibly hard. And now he looks a 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.520 little bit more human. And this is all under the 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.680 veil of he is still by far the best player 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:13.600 in the world. His consistency has been outstanding, but the 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:18.960 dominance isn't there this year. It's like one of those 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:23.560 things like PJ probably can attest to this, the the 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:27.560 baseball statistics of like your score, your your record in 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:32.480 one round one run games. Like when it when it's 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:37.560 a close golf tournament, it kind of can go either way, 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.680 and the bounces go one way or the other, and 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:44.120 you might lose a bunch of times even though you 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.880 put yourself in position to win. And that's why, like 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:51.320 I think, in general, we're too hard on people that 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.200 are in position to win and don't get it done, 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:56.600 like I think golf is in general, and they're so 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:58.200 quick to be like they choked. 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.800 That's like the the Moniker. Choking is a lot. 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:06.760 Of things, Choking shooting forty one on your opening nine 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:10.639 because you just can't handle the moment. Choking is you know, 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.159 the yeah, like what you do the first three holes 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:17.679 of a final round. Choking is not like hey, he 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.840 had a bunch of twelve foot looks and none of 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.280 them went in. They were really close, but none of 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.920 the went in, and it's like, hey, that guy didn't 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:29.359 get across the line. Days like that happened, And I 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:33.720 think what we're seeing with Scotty is an accumulation of 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.199 a lot of days like that, and that can be 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:40.359 really frustrating and where everything went his way. But most 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:45.600 most importantly, he put himself into positions to blow out 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:50.360 fields where there was no opportunity for a bad bounce here, 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:55.560 a bad bounce there to derail his win or a mistake, 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.960 a mental mistake. Right now, his game's not in the 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:03.159 same space to where he is blowing out fields, and 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.840 its Sunday becomes a ford On Conlon conclusion that he's 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.960 going to win. That's the difference. Is he still the 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:12.840 best player in the world? Absolutely? 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:15.800 Is he the same player that we've seen the last 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.600 couple of years. Absolutely not, definitely not. 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.840 Yeah, that you start to think about I didn't mean 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.120 to make this a big Scotti segment, but I think 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:29.320 back of like how many under the Guns sundays did 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.800 he have? Right that first Masters started, that was a 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.080 big challenge with cam Smith, right, they were like kind 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:36.760 of going at but then he could four put the 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:38.960 final green and still win by his cound by the 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:39.280 end of it. 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.399 Yeah, this scoundrel didn't hang and hang in there at 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:42.800 that time. 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.320 You know that Quail he had some issues. He was 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.639 driving it left and fixed it, but it wasn't like, 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.240 you know, close at the end. 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.240 So interesting dynamic. 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:55.520 Maybe it needs to make a change this summer, and 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.600 perhaps he needs to go to cotton, embrace the summer 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.200 of cotton. Maybe that's any needs to make the change. 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.240 As we flow into the summer of cotton. 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:09.399 Fabric might keep him cooler under pressure. You and I 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.639 are going on natural fabric. I've got my cotton on. 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:15.840 What do you got the dewey pocket tea there, I've 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:16.880 got pocket tea. 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.679 I got a lot of work to do around the house, 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.959 a ton, some of which is going to be outside. 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:27.320 It's really warm.

I don't think we're going 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:40.560 that far with the summer of cotton. That is a 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:44.600 nice cotton piece. I'm in my vin Polo.

Matthew Jordan beats 0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:50.119 Joe Dean and Sam Easterbrook in the playoff at West Lanx. 0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:52.240 At Dundonald, we have jab. 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:53.360 I feel like we. 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:57.320 Gotta get Matthew Jordan on lunch with the boys.

We'd keep it very straight and narrow, too high, 0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:13.800 not too. 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:14.760 Down, toy like. 0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:17.000 Remember, I don't know if you'll recall that storyline. He's 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:19.479
