WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:01.840
Welcome back to the clubhouse. And for those of you
2
00:00:01.879 --> 00:00:04.080
are just joining us, Welcome to the tribe. We are
3
00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:06.839
a group of FSU alumni obsessed with the culture, the gear,
4
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:09.480
and the game of golf. From breaking down tour news
5
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.199
to roasting our own weekend blow ups, no topic is
6
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.000
out of bounds. Grab a drink and settle in. This
7
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:22.839
is the Tea Time Tribe. Hi, everyone, Welcome back to
8
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:26.000
the Tea Time Tribe. Eric is always joined by Ian
9
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:30.679
and John. We just completed the second major of the season,
10
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:36.759
PJ Championship at Aronomic Country Club just outside of Philadelphia.
11
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:41.079
Aaron Raie gets his first major win. I think Ian
12
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:43.320
you might have put it best. It was just it
13
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:45.200
kind of ended up being another snooze fest of the
14
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.079
major in a sense. Nothing against Aaron Rye, great player.
15
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:50.880
John's been a fan of him for years.
16
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:54.079
Thank you, by the way, I've been on episodes twenty four,
17
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.799
you know, just just saying thank you.
18
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.159
Yeah, you were Chriz too, definitely on the two gloves
19
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:02.479
trained for a while there before.
20
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.840
Everyone else should have used on this weekend, you know,
21
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.319
the one weekend I didn't. But hey, whatever, we'll get
22
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:07.879
we'll get into that.
23
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.159
Hey, it's okay, we're getting Maybe that was what he needed,
24
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:13.799
that John didn't believe in him.
25
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.239
That wasn't on my radar, Hadley, Yeah, yeah.
26
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:20.680
But yeah what what what are initial thoughts of the
27
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:25.120
overall golf course the tournament, any surprises that you guys
28
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:26.359
saw from from any one?
29
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:29.959
Honestly, I thought the course looked awesome.
30
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.120
It looks like it looked like a really fun golf
31
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.439
course to play, just the amount of not that it's
32
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.760
anywhere near this, but I felt like it's similar to
33
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:41.079
Augusta Nashville, where like I feel like the undulation doesn't
34
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:43.719
do it justice on TV. It just I saw some
35
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:47.840
of the tea boxes where I saw some like little
36
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.480
ants in the background that were people that were walking
37
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:52.879
that were like way down a hill that they had
38
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.359
to hit, uh hit up and over. But other than that,
39
00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.719
the greens definitely lived up to the expectation that we
40
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.799
talk talked about last week. A lot of a lot
41
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.200
of bump and run shots, a lot of creativity around
42
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.039
the greens to try to get it close. Uh and
43
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:11.599
even with even with some really tough pink conditions, you
44
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:17.719
saw guys out there chipping in which it was awesome
45
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:20.520
off the top of my head, and Justin Rose had
46
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.599
a chip in. I think Shane Lowry had a chip in.
47
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.120
I think John Rahm had a chip in.
48
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.599
You yeah, off the throw?
49
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.840
Yeah, uh they didn't.
50
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.000
Did Michael Kim putt from off the green or was
51
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.439
he just on the green on Friday on eighteen?
52
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:41.800
Yeah, I forget it was. I mean it was a
53
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:42.800
long putt.
54
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.840
It was just like, yeah, either way, it was like
55
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.240
a bomb. It was like a bomb of a putt, right,
56
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.479
But I thought it was. I thought the course was
57
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.360
absolutely set up for a major championship.
58
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:55.599
I feel like there was.
59
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.000
It was as much of a snooze fest as it was,
60
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.879
it was also a bitch fest, like players were just
61
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.639
bitching the entire time, which honestly is the sign that
62
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.400
it's a good major like that.
63
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:11.240
That's my love hearing guys.
64
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.400
Yeah, I just I can't. I can't wait for Shinnacock.
65
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.280
It's gonna be that, It's gonna be like that. Yeah,
66
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.800
it's gonna be. Yeah, it's gonna be so many tears.
67
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.240
But yeah, I know you're right in the whining complaining.
68
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.520
You know you've done something right, which, by the way,
69
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.280
Friday was if Scotty did a little bit bitch and
70
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.960
than Rory did Rory Shaw sixty nine on Friday and
71
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:34.719
was talking about how it was the toughest pings he's
72
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:37.960
ever seen. Scottie too, and like you both had good rounds,
73
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.400
and then on Saturday where he had the sixty six,
74
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.800
he's like, you know it's pretty of course, oh because
75
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.919
you played better that whine, But yeah, no it was.
76
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:49.439
I thought it was a very fair course and the
77
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.560
U being very fair. I thought it was the rough
78
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.479
horsing his penal. Some certain holes were higher than others.
79
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:00.400
When it came to that. It seems like were getting
80
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.159
at it fairly easy. Had to lay up on some.
81
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:08.159
But yeah, I'd never betted against Donald Ross. Greens they
82
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:12.120
always hold up, always, always. I mean people were talking
83
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.680
about how that's all the conditions it could be, you know,
84
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.480
eighteen hundred twenty under what if his if his Greens
85
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.920
are you know, left alone intact, you know, mess them up,
86
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.279
they're going to be tough, and that showed this week
87
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.199
Aaron right. I mean, we talked about the being kind
88
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:29.079
of snooze fest.
89
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:31.560
It was insane.
90
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.800
Leaderboard leading into Sunday, I read that there were forty
91
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.720
one people within four shots of the lead. The previous
92
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.519
high ed PGA championship was eighteen, so it was just
93
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.480
a ton of people up for grabs. Aaron ra obviously
94
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.920
wanted them to come back and win at the back
95
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.319
eye of his life. You know, I think he I
96
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.560
don't know if he talked about it. I didn't catch
97
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:53.920
him his interviews last night, but I feel like him
98
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.079
and his caddie they were they weren't chasing distance. They
99
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.120
were just chasing his spots the entire back nine, and
100
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.759
he hit all of his spots the last couple holes.
101
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.839
I think they made an adjustment and they with their yardages.
102
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:07.720
I saw the greens were starting to firm up. It
103
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.879
was hot yesterday, it was windy. Those long irons weren't
104
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.040
sticking to the green. So I feel like he, especially
105
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.839
on a couple of shots, was landed at the front
106
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:17.480
of the green and let it roll up because it
107
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.920
wasn't sticking. So that was a huge adjustment that he made.
108
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.639
Kept on the green game. Some chances to make putts
109
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:30.720
got put on seventeen just insane, just just absolutely insane,
110
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.079
and just like you know, he put it and I'm
111
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.279
sure he was just thinking two putt and let's get
112
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.839
out of here from that distance. So I'm sure he
113
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:39.360
was just a shock that he made, as the rest
114
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.600
of us were. And you know iraqly enough, he had
115
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.279
an easier putt on eighteen that he left short. But yeah,
116
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.399
that was that was the clinical nine holes he had
117
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.439
on the back there where everyone else was seemed like
118
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.600
everyone else was chasing distance and just trying to get
119
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:53.639
it close to the green as they could and give
120
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.600
themselves chances. But it was just surgical. There was last
121
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.639
nine and obviously played off on him and well deserved
122
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.399
when you know, the story has been talked about a
123
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.279
million times with the gloves and the iron covers, and
124
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:07.720
you know he's been getting shipped from some people. But
125
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.439
it works, you know, it's it's it's more of a
126
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:12.839
you know, superstition and do where he came from. And
127
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.279
certainly after wunning a major's I could change it up.
128
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.600
So I keep doing it, bro, and maybe I'll bet
129
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.120
you here in your future I'm not gonna make the
130
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:21.759
mistake again.
131
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.079
Well, speaking of that, I saw that he had I
132
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.240
think pre torment he was like one hundred and fifty
133
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.879
to one, which he was the longest odds to win
134
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:36.639
a major, sense, Phil, I want to get you.
135
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:38.319
And Phil was two hundred to.
136
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:42.519
One, rightfully, so I mean Phil phil leeing that tournament
137
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.720
was like miscut T sixty T sick. He was playing
138
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:46.839
terrible and I don't even know what an Roy slashed
139
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.399
a couple of tournaments and been like you made to
140
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.439
look that up because you know, you look at all
141
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.600
these people who say they've got to be playing this,
142
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.160
that and the other. You know they got to finish
143
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.160
these kind of these are the metrics they need to
144
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.160
hit to you. And I have a change handsome. He
145
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.480
wasn't on anybody's radar. So all those nerds out there
146
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:05.319
you lost this week.
147
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.639
Sorry it's by by the way, somebody is somebody getting
148
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:10.959
hot off the press news here?
149
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.160
Brother, Yeah, I won't talk to anybody.
150
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:20.560
It's just saying Rory is a raging bitch. Yes, okay, perfect,
151
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.480
which I'll get to in a second. Yep, I'll get
152
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:25.040
into a second.
153
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:30.439
But speaking on Aaron Ry's play, not only John Likecky
154
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.680
pointed out that he had a clinical back nine. I mean,
155
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.319
shooting thirty one in any right on Sunday in a
156
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.040
major is ridiculous.
157
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:44.040
But I think two things come to mind.
158
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:47.439
One that put on seventeen had the same kind of
159
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:52.720
aura almost as JJ at the US Open with his
160
00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:56.959
put in eighteen. Obviously seventeen eighteen different. It was a
161
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.959
little closer for JJ, but just the long putt you're
162
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.600
just trying to two putt get out of there, identical.
163
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.040
The other thing is it's interesting to see some of
164
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:10.079
these I wouldn't necessarily necessarily say no names. It was
165
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.399
interesting to see some of these lower level guys competing
166
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:18.000
in these major tournaments and getting the w's, which I
167
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.040
know goes against what Ian said in the past of
168
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.000
like we want to see the big names always competing
169
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:27.800
winning these events. It brings the eyeballs in. But I
170
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:32.519
think the course being extremely difficult I think helps some
171
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:36.399
of these guys because you have guys like I think
172
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.759
Rory was the biggest complainer, like we talked about on
173
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.200
Friday of it of just like these pin places are
174
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.879
almost you know, impossible, and the course setup is terrible
175
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.679
and this and that. Like Ian, what you said, this
176
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:51.840
is what we want to see out of the major championship,
177
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.440
and normally we only really see this in a US
178
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:59.200
Open sometimes when the Masters, if they let the course
179
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.120
get there, which when we talked about the Masters previously,
180
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.159
like they should have gotten there and they kind of
181
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.440
screwed it up. But this is what major tournament golf
182
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.120
needs to be. Like, these eighteen under twenty unders birdies
183
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.120
left and right out of major needs to stop. And
184
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.440
I'm glad given that he went on his little run
185
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.720
in the back nine and ended up at nine under,
186
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.360
but you know, if it was any closer, the winning
187
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.440
score looked like for a while five or six under
188
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:26.559
until he won his run.
189
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.519
Yep, And that's what you want to see. Yeah, and
190
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.279
it's one of those. Unfortunately.
191
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:36.960
I did like the like the commentary from from Rory
192
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:40.399
on I think it was Friday, where he said, yes,
193
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:44.159
the course is difficult, but there were some pin placements.
194
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:45.960
This is the only part that I agree with.
195
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:48.879
There were some pin placements out there that were like
196
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:53.639
on the spines of the greens. I understand that if
197
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.279
your greens are small, because you don't have many pin
198
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.720
placements to choose from, but these greens were massive. I
199
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:04.279
felt like you had so many choices and with the wind,
200
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.879
with the wind blowing as it did, I'm fine, pull
201
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.000
that pin all the way up front, make them, make
202
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.519
them hit a ridiculous spinner that just like rips back
203
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.879
to the front of the green right, or put it
204
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.559
put it all the way in the back with the
205
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.799
wind like so that it's harder to hit. But don't
206
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.519
put it on the spine, because for me, putting putting
207
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.919
a putting a pin on a spine to what you
208
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:32.559
just said, it actually favors the It favors the field.
209
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:36.000
It doesn't favor the players who are actually hitting good
210
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:39.639
shots because now you're just it's luck of the draw
211
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.039
depending on where your ball hits on the green.
212
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:44.480
Even if you hit a really good shot.
213
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:46.960
Doesn't matter if it's within ten feet of the pen,
214
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.759
you should always be able to hit. If you hit
215
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.039
a shot that's within ten feet of the pin, you
216
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:55.679
should be able with the right spin, you should be
217
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.840
able to keep the ball within a reasonable distance. I
218
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:03.399
saw many shots on Friday that we're hitting right next
219
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.279
to the pin and we're we're off the green in
220
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:09.519
the back. Now it wasn't a hard chip shot back up,
221
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:15.559
but you're putting everybody into a collection area, which isn't
222
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.679
allowing the guys who who hit it in a really
223
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.879
good shot versus the guy who hit it thirty feet
224
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.720
short and it still ran or hit it thirty feet
225
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.399
long and it was in the same place. That to
226
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.120
me is just giving more of an advantage from like
227
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.559
a strokes gain perspective to the field versus the players
228
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:34.000
that actually hit good shots.
229
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:35.759
I mean, yeah, I get that.
230
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:38.960
I think I think the commentary from the players on Friday,
231
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:41.480
I think made it seem much worse than it actually
232
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:43.559
was because there was a for sure it was one
233
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:45.240
or two holes that had that issue.
234
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:49.759
Yeah, yeah, maybe three maybe maybe out of out of eighteen.
235
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.360
So we're not talking about a lot. But it's a stroke.
236
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:59.519
It's a stroker too. And but you saw a guy like,
237
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.519
oh but go out on Friday and shoot a really
238
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.480
good score, right, but he had some if you go
239
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:07.840
back and look at some of the some of the clips,
240
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:11.000
he got some really good kicks on those screens, so
241
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:14.919
any and he also launches the ball up sky high, right,
242
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.000
and he's able to bring it down now in that wind.
243
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.559
Do I think some of that was a bit more
244
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:23.799
luck than it was anything else. Yeah, yeah, I'm not
245
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:27.000
gonna deny that, but yeah, I look, the.
246
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.840
More diabolical one was Thursday on eleven. For that one,
247
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.399
if he went long when Brady someone's right off the
248
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:36.519
green and he breathed and it went like forty yards.
249
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.200
That was diabolical if he went long what she did?
250
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.200
Do we talk Do we want to talk about Bryson?
251
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.440
Do you want to talk about the implosion that was?
252
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:49.120
I was so so happy? Holy fuck?
253
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.399
Yeah, that's wild. Thursday was wild for him. Man. It
254
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:56.120
seemed like you had an eighty six, but it was
255
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.759
seventy six on Thursday and felt it felt way worse.
256
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.799
Well, it was reminiscent of of what happened at the
257
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:05.720
at the Masters.
258
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:07.559
It seemed like.
259
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:12.879
It was the same thing, just the next the next major.
260
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:17.120
So it turns out you put you put Bryson on
261
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:20.480
on on some tough greens. He he's struggling.
262
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:27.279
Yea, which is funny because he's one wonders.
263
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:29.799
Too, very strange.
264
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:32.840
One of the questions I wanted to kind of throw
265
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:37.080
at you guys is being that this was a newer
266
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.080
golf course for a lot of these guys that they've
267
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:39.960
never seen before.
268
00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:42.000
That's not like the same rotation.
269
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:44.840
Do you think this kind of exposed some of those
270
00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:47.440
guys that are used to those rotations, that know the
271
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.879
spots that maybe don't put in that much practice. I
272
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.679
think this to me, this skit kind of gives the
273
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.200
whole field of chance in a sense to see who
274
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:58.080
prepares the best, who's playing the best golf, and it
275
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.000
kind of combines those two. Do you guys like kind
276
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.480
of feel the same way or do you think do
277
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:06.000
you think this this reason happened more? I should say
278
00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:07.879
in some of these majors, Like I know the US
279
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.039
Open has the rotation of a lot of the same places,
280
00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:15.080
but to me, this is going to be like basically
281
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:17.679
pgat Frisco next year. They've never played that course. That's
282
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:19.840
going to be new for everyone. So I wouldn't be
283
00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:22.480
surprised if we see the same kind of leaderboard of
284
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.080
some of these smaller names.
285
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:30.159
Yeah, yeah, I I I enjoy it Number one, just
286
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.919
being being the golf golf geek that I am. I
287
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:38.120
enjoy seeing these different courses across the country. Do I
288
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:39.960
think it was the right decision to go to a
289
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:45.440
golf course in a town's population that was a total
290
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:46.840
of twenty five hundred people?
291
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:52.000
Probably not, but hey, it is, it is what it is.
292
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:54.919
They made whatever kind.
293
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:57.879
Of deal that they made with PGA, and they got
294
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:02.080
on the roster I think I think this does. I
295
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:05.639
think this does to your point, though, Eric bring out
296
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:11.000
some of the true adaptable players, some of the some
297
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:14.519
of the most elite adaptable players on tour. Because you
298
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:18.759
saw I had to say it, but Patrick Reid is
299
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.279
a pretty adaptable fucking player. Plays in every He plays
300
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.480
fairly well in all conditions and on all course types.
301
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:29.799
And he showed that. He showed that this weekend.
302
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:33.159
I saw him hit some shots that him both actually
303
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.360
both him and Chris gott Up. Now, obviously we don't
304
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:39.519
have as much of a resume to pull from for
305
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:41.720
got her up, but just seeing both of them hit
306
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:43.759
some of the shots that they did this weekend, we
307
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:47.000
were cool to see the different different type of shots.
308
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:47.200
Right.
309
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:50.919
It's not just their stock high shot, you know they were.
310
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.799
They were taking some really low flight shots onto the course,
311
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:56.240
which you don't see very often.
312
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.200
I like having multi I like having these random So
313
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.480
this is one of the more random ones. Just because
314
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:05.120
I had been there in almost ten years. It was
315
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:07.279
a tour event, it wasn't a major So yeah, next
316
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:10.919
year again, like you talk about being in Texas, that'll
317
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.919
be a whole different different ball game being there, the weather,
318
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:16.879
it'll probably be a little warmer, a little windier if
319
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.360
you're sat in the middle of it's Dallas, but it's
320
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:23.639
frescos it's out the burbs and they're the rotation. There's
321
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:25.720
some more ones that they've played before. It's been a
322
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.000
long time, so I think at PGA, PGA America is
323
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.639
doing a new job and put it coast to coast
324
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:35.440
all over the place. I had to keep doing that because, yeah,
325
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:38.399
I never would have heard of this place without this,
326
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:40.039
this major this weekend.
327
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:44.720
Okay, so kind of in that realm.
328
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.759
If you had to pinpoint one player good or bad
329
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:50.799
that surprised you this week, who would it be?
330
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.240
Do you want me to go? Yeah?
331
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:54.480
Just a Thomas.
332
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:56.679
Yeah, that's a good one.
333
00:16:57.159 --> 00:16:59.519
He's he's always good. He's always good.
334
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:03.559
For right now, I feel like he's on this streak
335
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:07.279
of like he'll put together two fairly good.
336
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:14.240
Rounds, maybe three, but he put them together. He put
337
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:16.440
a full he put a full tournament together.
338
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:24.000
This this was what he uh, this was twenty seventeen,
339
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:29.839
twenty eighteen, JT Like, this was this was fun to watch,
340
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.160
good to see him getting back into form, but definitely
341
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:34.599
definitely a surprise.
342
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:38.200
Did you see his comments I wrote him off so quickly.
343
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:41.359
Do you see his comment out waiting for the playoff
344
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:43.400
and what he happened to go through a couple of
345
00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:43.960
years ago.
346
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:46.839
How to be how to be a good clubhouse leader?
347
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:50.599
Yeah, how he was like I went out and down
348
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:54.240
like four or five years. Yeah, that would have been
349
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:55.559
comical to see.
350
00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:59.440
Well and and and he said his Caddy was was
351
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.440
already on like the subways like an hour.
352
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.799
I need you a turn around. My surprise on the goods,
353
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:10.880
I mean, you did well. We hadn't heard from that's
354
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:14.279
good to live. It was camp Smith, Yes, yes it was.
355
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:15.039
It was good.
356
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:21.119
And there's from him. And I think they did his
357
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:24.000
major since he went to Live and he just mister
358
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.440
cutting like pretty much all of them except for this weekend,
359
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:31.319
say a nice Saturday or Sunday. He had sixty six yesterday.
360
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:35.440
And then on the other side of it, I'm gonna go.
361
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:39.599
Tommy Fleetwood did not make the weekend. That was a
362
00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:42.359
little bit surprising. He's usually a you know, we'll talk
363
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:45.599
about adaptability. You know, guys who played well pretty much
364
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:49.200
everywhere at least make the cut make the weekend. Tommy
365
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:51.720
fleet did not, So it was a bit of a shock.
366
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:55.960
Keith Vigel was another one. It was an interesting, interesting
367
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:00.200
top hop player this weekend. Yeah, camp camp Smith was
368
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.839
the unique one. And also.
369
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:07.200
I told you roller Coaster.
370
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.279
We called it. We all called it. I mean we
371
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:11.400
we said it.
372
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:14.359
We talked about it in the last pot was Man,
373
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:19.279
he's just you just can't You can't count on him
374
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.359
for anything, including for him to suck.
375
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:24.039
Can't count on him to suck.
376
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.279
Because it's just like I feel like golf Twitter nowadays
377
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.319
is like the stock on golf Twitter is how he's
378
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.279
doing it. A major, So like when he's doing wild,
379
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:36.799
when he's doing bad, it's still kind of good. And
380
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:38.720
then when he's just doing what he usually does.
381
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:42.400
Just like that, so it's just steady. He's the need.
382
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:43.920
I feel like he's the need a lot of the
383
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.319
majors because I mean he's especially this week he's went
384
00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:48.920
away from this is the one who hasn't won for
385
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:52.359
his Grand Slam, so it's always very random he gonna
386
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:57.720
get hit the Grand Slam. Yeah, I'm saying Thursday was
387
00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:58.279
popping off.
388
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:03.680
H Speaking of popping off, what did you guys think
389
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:06.079
about I want to get your opinions on John Rock.
390
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:08.720
How do you feel like he played Obviously he played
391
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.480
really well, right, but on Sunday, how do you feel
392
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:14.480
like his performance was on Sunday?
393
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:18.440
I mean his performance. And also, I'm gonna throw Rory
394
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:20.880
into this too. I was surprised by both of them.
395
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:23.240
I know the golf course is hard, I know the
396
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:25.960
pins are tough, the greens are tough. I was surprised
397
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.240
that neither of them really made some kind of run.
398
00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:31.119
And I think, I know you just asked about Ron,
399
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:34.599
but specifically for Rory, I think thirteen that drive both
400
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.559
Part four, that was to me, that's that was it
401
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:40.480
for him, Like that, that was the make or break
402
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:43.839
for his round. I think looking back and I think
403
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:47.119
the thirteenth pole, especially on Sunday, I think that was
404
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.359
a very well done drivable part four for a Sunday major.
405
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:59.880
Yeah, yep, those yeah, I God, Joff Metge go ahead,
406
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:01.480
I lost for Tranthon, We'll come back to it.
407
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:02.880
Go yeah.
408
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:06.480
I was gonna say, let me so for for a
409
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:10.839
player that prides himself and he has had the stats
410
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:14.720
to prove it about his wedge play, just how dialed
411
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:19.599
he was. Let me read you the proximity to to
412
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:24.359
the from the distances that he was right. I keep
413
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:28.519
in mind, this is a PGA Tour pro right from
414
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.160
number ten, It hits a three hundred and fifty two
415
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:36.400
yard drive straight into the fairway, only has one hundred
416
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:39.440
and thirty yards left to the hole thirty eight feet.
417
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:44.079
Just kind of average average shot, right, miss it. Obviously
418
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:48.920
missed that put Number number eleven has eighty three hits
419
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:51.880
a three hundred and thirty five yard drive, only has
420
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:55.480
eighty three yards to the hole. Hits it to forty
421
00:21:55.599 --> 00:22:00.839
one feet proximity. Again, obviously miss is the putt the
422
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:01.559
fuck's going on?
423
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:02.559
Okay?
424
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:08.799
Number number twelve knocks it. This one understandable. He's one
425
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:11.319
hundred and seventy yards out. Hits a good shot, Uh,
426
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:14.640
from one hundred and seven yards to twenty feet didn't
427
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:17.559
make it, doesn't make the plot all good. I'm okay
428
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:22.400
with that, right. But number thirteen the short the short
429
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.880
profile we're just talking about John hits, hits a three
430
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:29.440
hundred yard drive, only has fifty fifty eight feet left
431
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:32.000
to the hole, doesn't get it inside of ten feet.
432
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:33.519
These are.
433
00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:40.160
I personally feel like his wedge play was poor. Uh
434
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:43.640
for someone who's a major champion like that was just
435
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:45.599
what was going on.
436
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:49.920
Why was he so off? I don't know. I don't
437
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.319
know what's going on with the li attorneys, but that
438
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:54.799
was just I don't know.
439
00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:58.759
You first too, he buried the first two holds too.
440
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:03.559
He yep, Well and a day on the back.
441
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:04.839
That could be a day well.
442
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.880
It's it's interesting you just brought up the that live
443
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:11.160
common because if you look at the leaderboard, there's a
444
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:12.799
lot of gotta live players.
445
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:15.920
There are a lot of live players that were.
446
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:18.759
That were up there this week walk walking Neeman's back
447
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:22.039
toward them too, A top twenty out of nowhere D's
448
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:25.880
in the tournament today? Did I shocked?
449
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.400
God? I mean, I I don't know. Is this is
450
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:30.759
this a.
451
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:35.559
Thing of they know that, you know, the end of
452
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:37.519
live is near, and they got to start playing well
453
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:41.240
and they kind of more or less stepped up their game.
454
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:47.279
I don't know, could be it's possible. Last kind of
455
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:53.680
question on TJ Championship, what are your thoughts? Or I
456
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:56.720
guess I should rephrase it. What do you think was
457
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.519
a better major? After these first two? Then they were
458
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:04.759
both kind of snooze fests, both had a winner that
459
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:05.960
won by a couple of shots.
460
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:09.759
Comparing Master's Specia this year, Morgan was better.
461
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:14.480
Yeah, and what was better for both? Yeah, I feel
462
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:17.559
like you gotta say the Masters was better because Rory
463
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:19.680
was involved and he made it a little bit interesting
464
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.799
at the end, and you though, we all figured he
465
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:25.359
was going to win, and he was in the final group,
466
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:29.200
so came down to the final hole theoretically, whereas Rye was.
467
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:32.680
They like four or five groups left by the time
468
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:34.720
he got done, so it was just kind of a
469
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:37.880
formality watching the last four or five groups spin a
470
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.400
shut and tre one. But then on the other coin,
471
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:44.880
like I said, there was all day up until he
472
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:47.480
started getting hot in the back nine like forty people
473
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:49.400
within you know, three or four strikes, So it was
474
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:53.039
a load. Leaderboard just didn't really move this much until
475
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:57.720
Ryan made his movement took over starts overall for the
476
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:00.200
length of the term. I guess the Masters was bit
477
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:03.720
more entertaining, not by much. Yeah, we will cut.
478
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:09.279
Yeah, I would agree here, game man, like, this was
479
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:15.279
this was premium, This was this was content for a
480
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:19.720
Scottie comeback. Like there were multiple times on Friday and
481
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:23.279
Saturday where I was telling myself, this is it. Here
482
00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:27.519
he goes here, he goes like he'd make a couple
483
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:30.319
back to back birdies. He'd be like, all right, this
484
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:33.319
man is going low, he's about to blow the field out.
485
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:38.000
And then Saturday and Sunday rolled around. Really didn't quite
486
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:42.519
look dialed, so not separating. I did love Meredith comment
487
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:46.759
that supposedly Meredith it gave him a little shit telling
488
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:50.519
him that in like the past past eight tournaments he's been,
489
00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:53.720
he's been runner up or top five, so he obviously
490
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:57.559
hasn't hasn't hasn't cut it. He was like, thank you
491
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:00.359
so much, thank you so much for letting me know. Yeah,
492
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:03.559
I didn't know that, so super helpful. But yeah, I
493
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:06.200
mean it is true. As shitty as it is to say,
494
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:09.440
as much of a smart as common as that is,
495
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:10.279
it's kind of true.
496
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:13.400
And it's kind of unexpected of him to not finish
497
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:13.720
it up.
498
00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:16.440
So I'm looking forward to seeing what the last two
499
00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:18.680
of the year look like, because either he's going to
500
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:20.799
turn it on or he's just going to be part
501
00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:21.279
of the pack.
502
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:22.400
I don't know.
503
00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:25.359
I'm going the other way. I think the PGA was
504
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:27.960
more exciting. I think the stacked leader board with how
505
00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:34.240
many people were possibly involved. Granted I don't want to
506
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:37.559
involve myself picking anything that Rory ended up winning, especially
507
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:38.880
the Masters again back to back.
508
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:40.720
But that's the other point.
509
00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:45.839
But I just think it was it was nice to
510
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:47.960
see a lot of these names on the board that
511
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:51.759
you haven't seen the while at the camp Smith's, some
512
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:58.720
of these other guys, you know, the what was it, Schmid, Smally, Snolly, whatever,
513
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:01.640
however you pronounce his name. You know, it's just nice
514
00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:03.119
to see how these guys were going to hold up,
515
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:04.799
which unfortunately at the end of the day you kind
516
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:06.079
of knew that some of those names were going to
517
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:13.279
fall off. But I just liked the overall leaderboard and
518
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.519
I thought Ironomic played very well. I like seeing the
519
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:21.480
guys struggle. So I think I think to your point earlier,
520
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:24.640
John of you know, Shinnakock is going to be one
521
00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:27.960
hell of a tournament. I think maybe it was a
522
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:30.480
little nudge that they have to make sure they step
523
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.359
on it and kind of try to blow Oakman out
524
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:33.680
of the water.
525
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:34.480
I think we want to.
526
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:38.440
Continue that trend of seeing guys work to make pars
527
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:43.200
and get rewarded and make some birdies. But yeah, Shinnekock's
528
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:47.759
gonna be something else. I'm excited, very roused. Yes, okay,
529
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:57.319
all right, next object to get you more aroused? President's Cup? God,
530
00:27:57.839 --> 00:27:59.720
do you want to hear we did this last year
531
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:01.440
a lot with the Ryder Cup. Do you want to
532
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:03.440
hear the current top six on each side?
533
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:04.400
Yes?
534
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:07.039
I would love to. Okay, please hit.
535
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:12.920
Me captain Brent Snedeker, US top six, Scotti, Cam Young,
536
00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:17.519
Ben Griffin, Russell Henley, Which you forgot how to golf
537
00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:17.920
this week?
538
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:20.920
Colin Morikawa and JJ Spahn.
539
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:23.039
He's still hanging around.
540
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:26.480
We're gonna get waxed. Well, we're literally gonna get waxed.
541
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:28.480
Wait and please wait, please hold?
542
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:33.440
How bad? How bad is everyone else?
543
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:36.440
I will also say the next three guys after JJ,
544
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:39.359
Chris got her up, j T and Xander.
545
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:42.880
So you take twelve, I think?
546
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:44.519
Yeah?
547
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:46.720
So you get six autos and six captain picks?
548
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:53.640
Yeah, okay, Here comes the international team, who is captained
549
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:55.799
by someone I have not heard from in a very
550
00:28:55.839 --> 00:29:01.559
long time, Jeff Ogilvie goff Ogilvie h top six for
551
00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:06.680
the international squad Hideki Matsuyama, Seawou, Kim Min Wu Lee,
552
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:13.359
Jason Day, Adam Scott. And this one was surprising. Nico Echavaria.
553
00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:17.960
He has been playing well for sure, and then the
554
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:21.119
next three after that it's Corey Connors, Ryan Fox, and
555
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:21.799
Nick Taylor.
556
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:24.519
Nick Taylor played well this week and Nick Taylor did't
557
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:25.200
play well this week.
558
00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:27.000
Yeah, not terrible squad.
559
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:28.799
That's a pretty good squad.
560
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:29.960
Not terrible.
561
00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:34.240
Could this be the year they bring it back? Probably not.
562
00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:39.000
Jeff Ogilvey has been an assistant on the last two
563
00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:41.720
Presidence Cups. I want to say I yelled at him
564
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:44.799
in twenty twenty two at Quile Holly because he had
565
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:48.079
Yeah I had a few adults of this, but uh,
566
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:53.119
the box we're in on fifteen t overlooked the tea box,
567
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:55.799
so he was like twenty feet from me and he
568
00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:58.240
showed up. He like walked ahead of the group shut
569
00:29:58.319 --> 00:29:59.839
on porting. He was up on the box waiting for
570
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:04.000
all of the international coaches, had like black Nike shoes
571
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:06.480
on are like non the script white or black shoes,
572
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:09.519
and he's got these like multi colored like A six
573
00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:13.079
running shoes on he's wearing. So I pointed out him,
574
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:17.960
like what are those? Yeah, they's funny, Yeah, the funny.
575
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.160
I was like, those can be seen from space. But anyway,
576
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:25.039
I'm not surprised he's been on thank you had you
577
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:27.880
been there loving funny but uh yeah he's been uh
578
00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:31.160
he's been assistant vice captain the last couple of them,
579
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:33.680
so I guess it's not his turn to take the wheel.
580
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:39.119
They are playing at Medina, so it's on us soil, Chicago, Miracle, Meda.
581
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:44.119
You know what I have to say them, don't give up, never.
582
00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:48.440
Get who dreams kid to who us are international, both.
583
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:52.960
Are to our US compadres. Don't give up?
584
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:53.680
All right?
585
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:58.160
Moving on this week c J Cup Byron Nelson, which
586
00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:01.960
Ian I remind you again out of signature, a signature event,
587
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:02.920
and you.
588
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:05.400
Can just look at the field to know that as well.
589
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:10.519
There are there are a total of three golfers in
590
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:15.920
the top fifty this week, so we have Scotti Scheffler
591
00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:20.759
at number one, see who Kim number twenty four, and
592
00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:26.119
our good friend Jordan Spithe at number forty seven spot.
593
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:28.599
I was actually surprised forty seven. I mean, I know
594
00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:31.279
he's playing shitty golf the last few years, but just
595
00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:32.759
hear him at forty seventh.
596
00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:35.720
In the world is a little wild, truly.
597
00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:38.680
But yeah, this seems like one of those weeks we're
598
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:42.000
going to have a potential first winner some name.
599
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:45.039
I'll love Scotty, you know, decides to sleep through it
600
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:49.400
plus one sixty five plus one fifty to win live ads.
601
00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:51.440
I'm going through the.
602
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:54.519
List here, thank you. I'm scrolling through the list here
603
00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:56.880
of who's playing this week. And I can't believe we
604
00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:02.960
didn't talk about this, but Garrick Higo. Yeah, the whole
605
00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:06.680
controversy of him not showing up on time and getting
606
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:07.720
a two stroke penalty.
607
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:10.680
They fired his caddy today. Blamed his caddy.
608
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:15.759
That's a cop out. You can't do that. What was
609
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:17.559
his reasoning He didn't tell me the time.
610
00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:20.079
I don't know, man, I know.
611
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:23.119
There's no excuse, literally no excuse.
612
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:25.599
It's the perfect opportunity for him to get a watch
613
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:26.680
sponsorship though.
614
00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:31.200
The angle he's playing a little Hugo Boss watch.
615
00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:35.880
There you go, there you go. It's too nice. Relox
616
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:37.880
doesn't get relics. Isn't gonna give a watch to someone
617
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:39.519
who can't tell time. That's true.
618
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:42.240
And if they're not Wieners, you got to be a winner,
619
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:45.519
all right, let's see. So obviously Brooks is playing this
620
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:49.559
week because he needs to continue his his He played well,
621
00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:51.799
by the way, we I know, we didn't talk about it.
622
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:53.039
Yeah he was.
623
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:55.599
And for for for those who didn't know who didn't
624
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:59.160
catch the pod last week, we did not win this week.
625
00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:01.000
Uh didn't know it, but weren't.
626
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:01.599
Don't worry.
627
00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:04.480
We're gracefully moving past crazy.
628
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:07.640
I will go on on a limb and say, the
629
00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:09.960
first time we hit a try bet that's all your
630
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:12.160
own talking about going.
631
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:14.920
It's going to be chaos. I'm going to Harrys. I'm
632
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.960
ripping my shirt off. Yeah, tarps off, thank god. But
633
00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:23.319
what's interesting about this? I'm looking at the the list
634
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:26.079
of golfers this week by the World Golf Rankings. So
635
00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:30.759
Brooks is number one eleven in the world Golf rankings.
636
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:32.799
Do you know if he number twelve and one twelve?
637
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:38.039
Is this like blew my mind? Blades Brown both moving
638
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:38.599
up in the world.
639
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:44.680
Okay, huh interesting right, Wow, it's a pretty high rank
640
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:45.640
for kid his age.
641
00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:48.200
She would have told me a few years ago that
642
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:52.200
that kid and Brooks are going to be right next
643
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:54.359
to each other in the world Golf rankings and triple digits.
644
00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:55.920
It's crazy.
645
00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:59.480
Interesting moving on in the world.
646
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:02.279
Try see any other names here we haven't heard in
647
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:07.599
a while. Ryan Palmer isn't here sitting at number nine
648
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:08.519
hundred and forty one in.
649
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:10.199
The world sponsors.
650
00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:15.480
Let's see, he is past champion veteran members beyond one
651
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:17.719
hundred and fifty and the Fednes Cup fall is what
652
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:20.960
I see. Whatever the hell that means exactly?
653
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:24.840
Yeah, call whatever you want, all.
654
00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:27.920
Right, let's do it. Who was letting us off this week?
655
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:30.519
Don't you dare? Say, Scottie Shuffler?
656
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:31.360
Why not?
657
00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:34.639
Because he's not gonna finish in the top twenty.
658
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:40.440
You're gonna curse him? Oh man, man, I'm ready, I'm ready.
659
00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:44.519
I'm right. Go ahead, Pearson Coody.
660
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:46.199
You picked him just because of the name, didn't you.
661
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:50.920
I'll need Texas guy too, so why not? Went to
662
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:53.519
uts from Dallas. It's kind of home game for him.
663
00:34:54.280 --> 00:35:01.079
Crossed Ian, I am going to go with it's hot sunny.
664
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:06.159
He's not. He's not in the world. Damn he is.
665
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:11.119
He's just he's just outside. I think he's thirty third. Well,
666
00:35:11.199 --> 00:35:12.920
official World Golf ranking is sixty.
667
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:16.400
Are you looking at Fat's Cup or something? Okay, I
668
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:18.679
will say he was my dark.
669
00:35:18.519 --> 00:35:21.119
Horse for last week, and when he was with the
670
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:24.840
leaderboard on Thursday, I was a little why didn't I
671
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:25.239
bet him?
672
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:28.719
But he came back down to earth. All right.
673
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:31.880
I think he didn't play well last week, but we
674
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:35.400
we've seen bits and pieces of him climbing up leaderboards.
675
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:38.880
He made us splash this year at the Masters, going
676
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:42.480
with Hot Tung Lee. Oh, he played well this weekend too.
677
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:45.159

00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:06.280
Okay, this puts our odds at sixteen to one?
683
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:07.000
Right?
684
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:08.119

00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:14.639
is that though, Well, what we.
688
00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:16.679
Need to do is we need to whenever one hits,
689
00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:18.320
whatever the odds are, that's what we need to go
690
00:36:18.440 --> 00:36:21.119
off of and now on. Yeah, whenever one hits, if
691
00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:23.199
it's like sixteen to one, twelve to one, eighteen to one,
692
00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:27.519
that's your number one items your formula. Yeah, we don't
693
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:29.880
want to have two good odds to make too much money.
694
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:33.119
That's true. You never won too good odds.
695
