WEBVTT
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.959
Welcome back, episode 31 of the Full Programme Golf Podcast.
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:09.919
As always, it is me, Josh Conlon, joined by Stevie McAvoy.
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:15.839
And today we've got Will Hawksworth, as we know him, Crouch, in the studio with us.
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:20.320
We're going to be covering all things masters, lots to get into.
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:22.000
Let's get into it.
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:33.520
Stevie Crouchy.
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:35.520
Great to have you on.
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:36.240
How are you?
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:37.119
I'm very well.
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:38.159
Thank you for having me back.
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:45.439
I thought you'd have uh sent me some FPG merch actually, soon as I've got my second cap, but it's not uh it's not arrived yet, sadly.
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:48.159
Having to don some baby blue.
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:49.600
But anyway, you know what?
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:55.600
You you you were given the option when when the first order was put in, and we we heard nothing from you.
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:01.200
So the the o the only person to blame is yourself as as Josh and I rep rep the FPG today.
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:02.479
What's what is what is that?
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.079
Is that the Yorkshire Rose, is it?
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:04.480
No.
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.719
That's the Yorkshire Rose with a couple of Essex uh swords underneath.
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:09.680
Of course it is.
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.439
Little combo job from uh from Conland Wreckablo.
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:14.079
Lovely.
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.959
I love I love the love, I love the dovetail and you've done that.
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:23.760
Yeah, I I did say to Josh, I was just like, have you noticed it's dangerously close to the Sheffield United badge?
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:26.400
It's completely different.
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:27.519
It's completely different.
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:29.599
The blades they they go different way.
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.840
Uh don't you worry, I knew and I was looking at it enough to go, hmm, is it?
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:35.280
Nah, it's fine, it's absolutely fine.
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:36.480
They're not going to anyway.
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.159
No, no one would know who they are.
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.159
You know, if it was an owl or something.
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.760
And it might be, yeah, it might be um might be seen globally.
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:48.719
Um, especially now we're gonna get get the storch take over, the big US billionaire.
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.000
So uh we're gonna come hooting back.
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:56.079
I was gonna say roaring, but just to keep it in in line with the owls.
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:01.280
What what's the um what's what's what's the little like League One situation saying?
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.599
Are you are you feeling you know, right, right owner comes in, you're gonna bounce straight back up?
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.639
Like where's where's the morale as we come into the last couple of games of uh the championship?
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.360
Um so before we came on the podcast, you told me not to swear, so that's a really dangerous question.
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:26.319
Um given the EFL continue to have their wicked way with my beautiful golf, uh, my beautiful golf club, my beautiful football club.
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:31.439
Um, I'd use other phrases and terminologies that I'd like everyone to think of right now.
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:40.639
Um they are an awful organization and they are continuing to um pillage my wonderful club.
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:49.919
We're getting another 15-point deduction next year just because our previous owner decided not to pay any bills and he's also put us in administration.
00:02:50.000 --> 00:03:00.400
So just because we were owned by one um very questionable man, and again, I'm still working really hard not to swear at this point, um, we are being punished for that.
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:06.719
So, why you know why punish the previous owner who caused all the trouble when in fact you can punish the football club and the fans?
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:13.520
So, your answer um in short there is going to be a no, we won't bounce back next season because we'll start on minus 15.
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.439
Um at this point, I'd just like to have more than 12 senior players in the squad.
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:19.039
I think that'd be a pretty good starting point.
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.639
But um, hey, before then, I've got heartbreak with England to come yet.
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.360
So uh we'll we'll worry about the next one after that.
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:26.719
A big summer ahead.
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.039
Well, Crouchy, it is great to have you back on again.
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:35.919
It feels like a special pod, and so we thought we'd make it special by bringing someone special on tonight.
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.840
You can you can define special whichever way you want.
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:49.120
Obviously, it's a master's breakdown, finished last Sunday, the 90th Masters, Rory McElroy goes back to back, wins by one.
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:51.919
Josh, I'm gonna throw it to you.
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:53.280
That's where I want to go first.
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:54.560
The McAroy double.
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:55.840
Give us your thoughts.
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.400
It's just boring, isn't it?
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:01.280
Like it is.
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.879
It is, is I I genuinely, and this this is this is a fact.
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:12.319
Genuinely, when when Rose missed the pot on 17, that tiddler, I turned the TV off and I went to sleep.
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:17.120
I had no interest in watching Rory McElroy win it again.
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:18.000
No interest.
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:19.360
Don't care.
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:20.560
Bored of it.
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:21.519
And you know what?
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.959
It's actually not Rory's fault that I just can't stand it.
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:41.600
It's the incessant droning on about him and the tongue being stuck so far up his arse by Nick Doherty, by Ewan Murray, by Andrew Coulthart, by the whole Sky team.
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.240
It's an absolute joke.
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.319
You you don't you can't actually talk about another golfer.
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.160
You see every one of his shots, okay.
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.680
He he won it this time, but you'd see every one of his shots either way.
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.560
I just I just it's boring, it's unbearable.
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:01.600
So that that's that I could drone on for a while about it, but yeah, good win.
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:07.519
He played well Thursday, Friday, and just about hung on because Saturday, Sunday wasn't convincing at all.
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:11.360
Yeah, and I I think I think this year really struggled to have a narrative.
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:16.639
Like last year went into it, and it was still the Grand Slam chase, and it you know, you can be as big a Rory fan as you want.
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.920
I think the fact that he was chasing the Grand Slam last year was big.
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:29.040
Whereas to me, it felt this year no one really wanted to win it, and everyone kind of just fell away, and he just was kind of the last man standing.
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.800
And so I don't think it's gonna go down as as a great masters.
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:34.160
Crouchy, throw it to you.
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.639
Did you find any joy in the McElroy win?
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:45.759
Um no, by by Sunday, I've got to admit, it was it was it got interesting sort of after nine, maybe.
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.360
Um got interesting after, what was it, the fifth when he made double on that par three?
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:49.920
Yeah.
00:05:50.160 --> 00:06:00.000
Then it was sort of interesting, but yeah, I mean Cam Cam Young just went off the boil and McElroy, like Josh says, he just sort of was hanging around.
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.680
I think it was more a case of he just ran out of holes to mess it up, to be honest.
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:11.279
I think if golf was like 21 holes, I think he would have found a way to just poo the bed for a correct term.
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:11.920
Yeah.
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:13.279
Do we can't say much?
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.160
Sorry to just jump in there, just you know, the part three is the fourth.
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:17.920
Come on, we we go, we watch Augusta every day.
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:22.079
The fourth I didn't actually I didn't actually watch his I didn't actually watch his double.
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.000
It was I just saw I just saw him.
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:30.800
But yeah, it yeah, it was it was it was interesting for probably an hour and then it became very uninteresting.
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:37.439
And I don't think I don't think to be fair, if you look at his t-shirt off 18, it was just like an absolute lash swipe.
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:39.120
Should never have even been playable.
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:43.920
It was like 80 yards from the edge of the fairway or however far away it was, and he was absolutely fine.
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:50.480
It was just uh yeah, it was just a very lackluster finish, not the exciting finish of last year for sure.
00:06:50.800 --> 00:07:05.120
It felt it felt very much like when Patrick Reed won, and obviously McRoy was one who fell away because that was a year where there were quite a few contenders, and everyone no one wanted to win it, and Reed kind of just went out there.
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:12.959
I think he shot like one under that day, but didn't have to do lights out, didn't really have to do anything, and just at the end had a green jacket, and that was very much how it felt.
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:25.199
Certainly the back nine, you know, Rose got off to that crazy start, like five five birdies front nine, four birdies front nine, got himself to twelve, got himself to the winning score, and then just stuck it in reverse, Terry, didn't he?
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.279
You know, just stick it in reverse, Terry.
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:49.680
I have to say, just before we move on to Rose, because I think there's a lot to unpack there, I I would say my least favourite type of golf tournament is when someone gets out to a really big lead halfway through, because then it's just like, well, either it's gonna be like the foregone conclusion or it's gonna be the disaster blow up.
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:53.120
And I I don't I I can't really I can't really be bothered to talk about the blow-up.
00:07:53.279 --> 00:08:00.480
I don't like talking about blow-ups, and so when Macro was that far ahead at the halfway, I was just like, whatever happens from here is not gonna be that interesting.
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.360
To his credit, I don't think he played that well all week.
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:08.399
I think Thursday he got an unbelievable score out of where he hit it.
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:14.560
Uh Friday, I think he did play well, and then he obviously just clung on for dear life, did play well on the back nine on Sunday.
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:16.639
But let's move it across the rows.
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:18.720
Josh, start with you.
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.959
Was there any point where you thought it was the year?
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:28.000
Honestly, no, and I don't know why, because I'm very quick to get excitable.
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:30.959
Uh, and I agree with you, just finishing off with McElroy.
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:36.960
You know, and I said this on the on the Saturday morning, and I was nearly nearly right with that.
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.200
Bad predictions in the best, but nearly right in this.
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:45.360
And I said, anyone who's 90th out of 91 driver accuracy is gonna struggle at some point.
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:49.759
You can't just keep bailing yourself out whole in putts, you're just not gonna get away with it for out.
00:08:50.159 --> 00:09:06.399
Interestingly, though, I think it shows that driver accuracy is becoming a redundant stat, and it's actually just driver distance because he was taking out all of the big trouble by just driving over bunkers, driving past trouble, and then being able to almost just chip it up.
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:08.720
So I just wanted to touch on those two points there.
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:10.720
We've we've sort of finished off McElroy.
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.120
Coming over to Rose, he was he was fantastic.
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:34.879
I thought he was fantastic right up until right up until 11, the second shot into 11, and then I felt like he just started, you know, he didn't did he hit a sensible shot into 11, it wasn't a good shot, made bogey, really poor chip on 12 that I couldn't believe what I was watching, and then the three put on 13, unjust in Rose like he's normally a very tidy golfer, right?
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:36.000
You know, that's what we've come to know.
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:38.080
He's world number four for a reason now.
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:53.759
Um again, and I have text proof on Sunday afternoon when even when he hit the front, uh one of the boys Chasey was saying, it's time to believe you can you're getting excited about.
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:57.279
And I just said, I just don't believe it's his year this year.
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.080
I don't, I just didn't feel it.
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:11.039
Maybe in my heart inside, I was like, Yeah, but if if I say that, maybe it'll work and maybe I like goal do it, because obviously impact on the masters, obviously.
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.840
Um but no, I didn't I didn't fancy him this year.
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:15.200
I didn't fancy him to win it.
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:20.000
I and I don't know why, because he was playing good enough golf the whole way through.
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.480
Crouchy, any belief from your side?
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:27.919
Yeah, when he when he got to 12, what was he, two two clear, 12 and then nearest was 10?
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:37.360
Yeah, and then yeah, he had a bit of a shaky 11, missed it long left on 12, and then hit a cookie chip and just duffed it.
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.440
And then he actually holded what he holded like a four and a half, five foot for the bowier, which was quite good.
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:50.720
And then when he knocked it to 20 foot on 13, I thought, oh, he can get one back, and then Nel just rams it through, misses it, and then by that time all the wings out of his sails.
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:57.519
And it doesn't matter if he's if he's got two par fives in the last six holes or whatever, he's not buried in either of them because his head's gone and that's that.
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:12.480
So no, I d I don't I would have liked him to have had more of a a chance, but you know, he bogeyed, missed it, put a terrible swing on his second shot, 17, pulled it long left, and then hit a poor pitch and bogey, and that was you know good night be honor.
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:16.720
So no, in short, I didn't I I wanted it, believe me, I really wanted it.
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:21.919
But I wanted it more than McElroy, but uh no, I I never believed it would it would happen, unfortunately.
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:23.679
Confusing holes and shots as well.
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:24.960
You just do my do my head in it.
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:29.679
17 at about he went left on 14, he went left on 14 at a great chip, made par.
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:35.519
17 he went short right, chipped it up to about a foot and a half, two foot, and missed an absolute tidler down the slope.
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:36.639
Well, yeah, it's a bit of a short.
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:44.240
He pulled it, he pulled it left, and uh well I the website is it all week.
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:54.320
It was interesting, I was just gonna say it was interesting to s I I don't know if you saw Rose's comment afterwards, and he said um interesting to hear him even say this.
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:58.559
He said he felt like the momentum had gone when he three-putted 13.
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:04.480
Really, really interesting to hear that, and he felt he could have got it something back if he'd have made the four.
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.360
Um, yeah, it was a really unjust in Rose performance.
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:12.559
That was that was the moment, and I I was excited around the turn.
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:16.399
I I I thought McElroy had a lot of good opportunities ahead of him.
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:24.399
So I always think when you're a couple of groups ahead, yes, you're two ahead, but I don't think you're 100% it's a kind of real two shots, if that makes sense.
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:26.080
13 was the killer.
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.639
I mean, 13 was a bad three part, there's there's no other way to to put it.
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:32.799
You could see how much he wanted it.
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:36.159
I think almost he showed he wanted it too much.
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.000
Where did he hit it right off the T?
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:41.120
Was it was it 14 or 17?
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:42.000
I feel Josh.
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:43.039
17, he hit it right.
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.159
17 he hit it right like every every day, didn't he?
00:12:46.240 --> 00:13:01.200
Well no, certainly, certainly Saturday and Sunday, he just hit it and then he'd like swing round and just be but the minute he hit it, the minute he hit it, he was kind of cursing the dirt in front of him, and it did bounce out, he got a lucky break, but you could just see it was almost just unraveling there for him.
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.360
Um, it was a real shame.
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.159
I you know, 12 12 was not a crazy number.
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:18.399
I think if you'd have told a lot of those guys on the back nine that 12 would have been a pie-off, I actually think you may have seen more people there because in the end it was like, you know, people like Hatton were almost the closest.
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:25.679
Um yeah, I I think a lot of players thought it was going to be 13-14 and they were really pushing and ultimately unraveled.
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:31.440
Uh, one interesting thing, did you see Justin Rhodes had the mini driver in this week and he played it a lot off the tee?
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:33.759
I think that's what he hit a really good T shot on 13.
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:35.120
I think that was mini driver.
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.519
Um, I'm not sure I'd seen him seen him play that club.
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:42.960
I don't I don't think 13 would have hurt him as bad if he'd have missed the green with his second and made five.
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:47.279
You know, like if he'd missed it left and not got up and down, it's the fact that he flags his approach shot.
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:48.559
Did you see the shot tracer?
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:49.600
Yeah, it did.
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:53.120
It looked like it went mile drive, Palmer said, oh my god.
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.399
And it lands, he nearly holds it.
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:03.360
But if he'd have missed the green and then just made like a standard five, I think it's the fact that he flagged it, it just such a kick in the nuts, isn't it?
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:09.440
I mean, you ask any decent even us three, knock on a par five and two, you're gagging for a four, aren't you?
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:14.559
You just if you make five, three whack it, you just want to hurt yourself walking to the next seat.
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.159
So yeah, no, it wasn't to be, was it, sadly?
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:19.519
It wasn't to be.
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.679
Um, any comments on the setup?
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:24.639
I mean, Josh, you'll you made your comment about driver accuracy there.
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.840
I do think Augusta, apparently they've trimmed a lot of the trees.
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:34.399
Like they do trim a lot of the trees so that it's just kind of trunks when you go into them to kind of almost goad you into playing that shot.
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:38.159
There was quite a lot of chat about watering the greens or not watering the greens.
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:42.960
It looked like it was going to be super hard and fast all week, and then Friday they kind of softened it up a bit.
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.480
Um, personally, I thought it was great from a from a course perspective.
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:48.159
I think Augusta turns up every year.
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.000
I think it's a fantastic tournament course.
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:51.600
But any thoughts on the course?
00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:54.399
I thought I thought the setup for Thursday and Friday.
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.480
I mean, watching the TV, the greens almost look like purple-y brown.
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.559
They look like they were rock hard.
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:04.720
And then exactly, Saturday comes around and they're they're soft.
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:06.960
I prefer I want it to be as hard as possible.
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.120
I mean, it's a major championship for a reason.
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.840
Make them make them weep on, you know.
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:13.440
I want them to suffer.
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:14.799
It's four times a year.
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:16.559
I mean, you may as well make it as hard as possible.
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:22.000
Every other tour event, every week, is just track it as far as you can, wedge it out, and it's a putting comp.
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:25.039
So I think you know, it it should be it should be firm and fast.
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:29.279
I know Scotty Sheffler said, didn't he, that he he wished that it was set up Thursday Friday.
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:32.399
He wished it was set up Saturday, Sunday like it was Thursday Friday.
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:34.879
Whereas he felt like it was two different golf courses.
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:39.919
But yeah, I'd you know who who are we to critique the setup of Augusta?
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.080
But we can we could definitely give it a go.
00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:44.000
This it's an interesting one, isn't it?
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:49.679
You know, because Sheffler's complaining about the setup and he was even par through two days and 11 under finish.
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:58.799
Like, I don't think you do want it to be that hard, Scotty, because you'd have finished right at the back of the pack, whereas instead you finished second.
00:15:59.039 --> 00:15:59.519
Yeah, true.
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:02.879
Would he would he have would he have gone what was he, bogey free on the weekend?
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:04.480
Yeah, first time anyone's gonna be.
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:11.600
I doubt it.
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.919
So would he have made a charge through the pack if the course had been crazy hard?
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:16.799
I I'm not sure.
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:21.360
I have to say, I really, really enjoyed his charge over the weekend.
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:28.320
Like I just thought he was this looming shark, and there I mean he almost did it, didn't he?
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:31.840
I mean that part on 17 was really, really close, but I I did.
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:35.039
I thoroughly enjoyed the Scheffler march down.
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:38.720
If it was five rounds, as in, he would be the champion 100% in my mind.
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:39.440
Yeah, he would.
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:44.799
I think with another five or six holes, he would have he would have just won outright and everyone else would have wilted.
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:46.480
He just comes out of nowhere, doesn't it?
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:47.360
I mean, you know he's there.
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:48.960
He's obviously unbelievable.
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:56.879
He's world number one, but he's like the most understated, underrated, or not underrated, but he just no one really pays much attention to him.
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:03.200
He gets to sort of 10 or 10th or 12th, and all of a sudden he just swims to the surface and he's like second.
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.319
He's just flying, and no one no one sees him coming.
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:12.079
It's it's almost like the you know, jaws when you've got like the swimmer and then the shark looking up.
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:18.480
Maybe we have to create the little animation of Sheffin looking up and there's like just a few golfers just swimming along.
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:20.559
Matt thought always the swimmer.
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:22.799
Oh dear, very good.
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:25.519
Right, I'm just gonna cast my eye down the leaderboard.
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:32.319
There are there are a couple of players that I think qualify themselves in in the fool away pack.
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:37.119
Now, the first one who I I think it's becoming a bit of a cult hero, hat on lead.
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:41.599
I was having a great week until the 13th on Sunday.
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:44.319
What on earth did he do there?
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:49.119
He he had it, he had he had a bad, a bad 20 minutes, and then almost 15 minutes.
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:49.839
He really did.
00:17:50.000 --> 00:18:00.480
12 and 13 were just like I was gonna use the Shea Given quote that he said, so anyone that's heard that one will know what I was gonna say, but I'm not gonna say that.
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:03.200
Uh yeah, he had a bad, bad time, didn't he?
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:06.319
I enjoyed I enjoyed the post till like 6 13.
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:11.359
Yeah, I I I enjoyed I enjoyed the post that you did on Instagram, whereas that little lie.
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:12.640
Yeah, it was really good.
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:26.319
What worth mentioning also, or just like great blow-ups, is um there was quite a lot of chatter on social on the Thursday about Freddie couples and how well he was doing and all the rest of that.
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:31.519
One of the great body bags was the his final, I think it was five holes on Thursday.
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:34.240
It was just he finished way back.
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:38.799
He made nine, he finished, he finished quad double par double.
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.880
He was like nine over for the last four four or five holes.
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:47.680
So then I remember looking at the leaderboard, I wasn't watching it, and I thought Fred Couples was 200.
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:50.720
I was thinking, and Jose Mario Alapaba was 200 at some point.
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:52.720
I was thinking, what is going on here?
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:58.960
It was like watching um watching Greg finish off his 72 hole golf challenge, just padding along.
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:01.279
He's just he's out of breath, he's finished.
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:02.720
Freddie Couples.
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:08.559
I imagine he's got his shoes, his socks off, he's just padding them on, he's just dragging himself forwards.
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:10.160
Oh, that was good.
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:16.240
Um, but to the weekend, a couple of four, I mean, uh really disappointing weekends from Fleetwood and Patrick Reed, I thought.
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:20.160
Um, Fleetwood's not as surprised as Patrick Reed.
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:21.839
I actually really thought Patrick Reed was going to contend.
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.240
I thought he was looking really good through the first two days.
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:26.000
Yeah.
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.160
Yeah, I I'd I I was scared that Patrick Reed might win, to be honest.
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:31.599
I mean I was kind of up for it.
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:32.480
Full carnage.
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:35.839
Well, it's yeah, it would have made it sort of semi-interesting, wouldn't it?
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:39.920
But no one deep down really wants to see him slipping his arms in a green jacket on Sunday evening, do they?
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:41.440
So I was clad on that front.
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:43.759
But yeah, Patrick Reed having won there before.
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:46.160
Um he's short game, by the way.
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:51.599
Oh I read a th I read a thing, you know, his lob wedge is seven degrees flat.
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:55.039
Seven degrees flat.
00:19:55.200 --> 00:20:03.920
So that when he that's why he can hit like such unbelievable short-sided lob shots, because he lays the handle down and the club just sits flat, the toe doesn't stick way in the air.
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:15.599
He's a seven degree flat lob wedge, purely for your purely for like tight courses, tight tight light courses, or Gustawa's you know, short game is important in his wedge, his lob wedge is seven flat.
00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:24.880
Okay, quick question for the group uh who would be your number one, if you go back in time, your number one least favourite winner, Josh Stallie.
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:26.880
Of the Masters.
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:28.400
Of the Masters last week.
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:28.960
Okay.
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:32.000
Oh, that's a good question.
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:35.200
Uh number one least favourite winner.
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:37.359
Well, McElroy last year.
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:38.880
Because I wanted Rose to win.
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:40.480
I was absolutely cuttered.
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:41.519
I don't know.
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.599
2026, if if we if it could still be McElroy, could be your answer.
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:48.240
2025 McElroy.
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:50.160
Absolutely good.
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:52.480
Not happy about it at all.
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:55.039
Such a typical U answer that.
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:55.839
Oh god.
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:57.440
There's a grand slam that hated it.
00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:58.400
Didn't enjoy it.
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:00.319
It wanted Rose to win.
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.039
I'd go, yeah, I'd go I'd go and read, to be honest.
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:08.240
I just think he's really yeah, I just I just think he's a an S house.
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:19.680
I tell you who would have been right up there, and I've got absolutely nothing against the bloke, but there was just like a moment on Sunday where it was like Russell Henley might have a chance here.
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:32.559
And if Russell Henley would have won, that'd have been one of those masters that in 10 years' time you you know when Sky Sports just like cues up the this is how the Masters won episodes, and you're like, right, which ones are we gonna tuck into?
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:37.519
Like Phil 04, perfect, Tiger 19, love it, and it's like Henley 26.
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:38.720
Henley 26.
00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:41.039
Yeah, you're like, I'll have the darts on.
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:46.160
Yeah, that would that would that would definitely have been a tough, a tough watch for sure.
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:51.359
It's like have you have you ever seen um Chronicles of a Champion golfer that they do on Sky?
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:54.079
Yeah, it's like the Brian Harman one, it's just not good.
00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:58.079
I don't think they've even made one for him because just they just know no one's gonna watch it.
00:21:58.319 --> 00:21:59.759
I mean, worst open winner in the last.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:01.279
20 years, surely.
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:02.640
He's up there.
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:04.960
Yeah, definitely up there.
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:08.240
Uh so Kraut's Patrick Reed.
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:10.720
Well, I did think you would say Raw Reed to be honest, Josh.
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:16.480
So I just I thought you'd at least stick to this year, but um a predictable answer nonetheless.
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:26.400
Um further down we go, bad weeks from a couple of the big live fishes, uh, Ram and Bryson.
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:31.039
I really I I said, I mean, in the in the betting stuff that we spoke about before, I really fancied Rahm.
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:32.240
I thought I thought he was playing well.
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:34.559
Data Golf's obviously got him at number two.
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.839
Um Live Golf generally, uh what was it?
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:42.720
Hatton was the was the best finisher, but not a good performance by a lot of their players.
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:53.920
No, they struggled, and um obviously by the sounds of the news that's coming out, it seems like DeShambo's gonna have plenty of time to practice his bunker shots, which he needs to do because um they were appalling.
00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:56.880
I mean, both of his triples were because he couldn't get out the sand.
00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:58.559
Like, what are you doing?
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:03.440
You know, you need you can make double to make the cut, and he makes triple on 18.
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:05.200
It's just brilliant, isn't it?
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:07.119
You've just got to enjoy it.
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:09.440
Um, but yeah, appalling.
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:14.640
Appalling showing was really, really surprised at DeShambeau, was very surprised at Rahm's round one.
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:19.039
I mean, he was fairly solid, two, three, and four, but the damage was done.
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:38.240
Um, you know, as I'd mentioned in the in the in the um the the pre-masters sort of warm-up conversation we had, but I fancy Garcia is a bit of an outsider, and again he got himself kind of in position, and then wow, did he just lose his ragle?
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:40.319
What appalling behaviour.
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:51.680
Yeah, I mean there's there's a there's definitely a time and a place to can you remember I remember in the watching the players a few years ago, and Keith Mitchell hit a tee shot right before the um the horn went off for for weather.
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:52.240
Can you remember?
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:52.880
Have you seen it?
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:53.680
Have you seen the clip?
00:23:54.000 --> 00:24:07.599
So here's a tea shot somewhere on sawgrass, carves it way right, and literally as the ball's at the apex of its flight, the horn goes and it's going in the in the water, and he just turns around and just absolutely just takes a chunk out of the tea box at Sauegrass.
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:09.680
And exactly the same as Garcia did.
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:18.559
Obviously, Keith Mitchell's wasn't as bad as Garcia's, but you just there's certain things you do and don't do at Augusta and digging up the tea box with your driver and then twating it against the water cooler.
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.480
It's he's definitely two of the things that you would probably wouldn't do.
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:39.440
He I I've I've I've I've listened to a lot of things about Garcia, and a lot of people say that you know, when he hosts charity events or if he's done work with content creators, he's always really, really nice, really engaging, hospitable, all the rest of it.
00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:45.839
He just has this now catalogue of moments where you're just like, You are such an arse.
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:47.279
Like, what was he doing?
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:50.480
Did you see the thing where he like fake threw his ball at his caddy as well?
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:52.319
Yeah, I did I did see that, yeah.
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:54.160
I enjoyed that one.
00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:58.720
I did that to be a list of tricks.
00:24:59.279 --> 00:24:59.920
I'll try that.
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:02.240
Whoa! Next summer at Fancourt.
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:05.440
Just well, you got San Valley this summer.
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:06.400
That was a show.
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:10.160
Everyone jumped me back and walked off.
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:11.200
Yeah, Garcia.
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:17.599
I yeah, but um I back to Bryson very quickly and talking about people kind of acting uh Bryson.
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:26.079
Obviously, he has this big, like happy you know, a bit like I would just described Garcia, very happy, outgoing, engaging, man of the people, blah blah blah.
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.720
When it's not going well for Bryson, he regularly put bad performances in.
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.519
He gave a couple of really snippy interviews.
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:38.480
Um like in Adelaide when Anthony Kim won, he was obviously annoyed he hadn't won.
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:46.799
And Anthony Kim's like celebrating this this historic win, and Bryson's just like trying to get in there to like sign the cart, and you're just like, mate, read the room.
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:48.400
Like he just I don't know.
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:51.599
I'm I'm not the biggest Bryson fan, I have to say.
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:57.519
Well, but talking of snippy interviews, I was I really enjoyed Scotty Scheffler's um post.
00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:58.240
Oh, yeah.
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:01.839
It was a bad question.
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:02.720
Terrible question.
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:06.079
Next, I mean, what could have or should have the score been?
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:08.319
Shut up, you clown.
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:17.519
The worst thing is that man, that man asking that question is in the ballot to play Augusta.
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:18.960
I mean, appalling.
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:20.079
What are we talking about?
00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:22.480
Yeah, appalling, appalling, appalling.
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:23.279
What are we talking about?
00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:28.480
A couple of other players that went backwards that I was actually really, really surprised at.
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:39.759
And um a notable name who I've mentioned on the pod a few times as someone who, you know what, you trade his bank balance, doesn't win nearly enough as he should.
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:41.200
Shane Lowry, Mr.
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:42.079
80.
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:43.279
Mr.
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:44.640
Sunday 80.
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:50.720
U now I did not see him shooting an 80 on a Sunday.
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:52.400
He shot the same as Hao Tong Li.
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:54.319
Hao Tong Li did it in two holes.
00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:57.119
Shane just did it over 18, you know?
00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:01.839
As a stable foot adjustment, Hao Tong Li's got him comfortable.
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:07.200
I wonder, I wonder if Shane has got a bit of uh a bit of PTSD from when he gassed it.
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:10.880
What what tournament did he did he blow up on the PJ Tour about six weeks ago?
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:12.079
Is it the cognizance?
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:13.680
Honda Honda.
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:20.160
Yeah, where he just got to got to like 16 or something and just decided that he didn't know how to play the game anymore.
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:31.039
So I wonder if he sort of in the back of his mind gets maybe subconsciously gets into contention and just almost expects a nightmare to arrive without having to really do much.
00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:31.440
I don't know.
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:33.599
He had his old black outfit on, didn't he?
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:35.039
Like Gary Player hoping.
00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:36.640
I mean something to the green on.
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:39.519
At this point, Shane Shane Shane's playing for hole in ones.
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:42.559
Shane's playing for hole in ones, not not tournament wins.
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:45.680
He does well, he does well on the hole in one front.
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:59.119
I saw something, and it was like this year on the PJ tour, um something stupid, like Shane's making a hole in one 2% of the time on par threes, and the actual stats should be like 0.003%.
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:04.400
So it's just like he's having a and he's obviously had a crazy run on them if you extend it out as well.
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:07.440
Obviously, it was a great shot, it was a great hole in one.
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:10.319
So I I wanted to pose this question to you boys.
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:13.680
Um Josh, you probably can list the ones that he's already got.
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:15.359
Probably.
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:17.680
I could list the famous ones, I think.
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:21.759
Yeah, he's had um 16th for Scotland, TPC Scottsdale.
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:26.319
Seven at Pebble, seven at Pebble, he's had now not Scottsdale.
00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:27.759
Sorry, yeah.
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:31.519
He's had now the sixth and the fourth.
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:40.960
No, sixth and sixteenth at that's um Augusta, seventh at Pebble and 17th at Saugrass are like the four big ones that he's got, aren't they?
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:55.519
So the question to the group is if you could have an ultimate next one, what do you think the the the kind of best par three out there that he's missing in the iconic lineup that he's building?
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:57.279
Postage stamp, true.
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:00.720
Do you know that's exact that's immediately where my mind went.
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:01.519
Yeah.
00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:04.480
I think I think that's a really that that'd be a really good one.
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:11.920
I I think other contenders, um, 16 at TBC Scottsdale would be a good one to to throw in.
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:15.599
Um six on the Pam Barton in uh sorry.
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:17.279
Yeah, yeah, that's always a big one.
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:20.000
Nine at Hallamshire is a great old top one on.
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:22.240
You can't see it going.
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:23.839
You would have no clue.
00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:25.759
Looks like it's gone long, but you're gonna throw it in.
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:29.920
I think what else is there out there?
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:34.079
Um 12 Augusta, obviously.
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.279
Imagine if he did that in three round there, that would be ridiculous.
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:39.839
But yeah, I think post-stamp's probably the one.
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:41.359
That's that's the one that stands out to me.
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:44.319
So I think we agree on that one.
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:48.799
Any any more names from the leaderboards just as we kind of conclude our surf down, Joshua.
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:53.759
Just got a final uh final bit of trivia actually that I want to pose to you boys.
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:58.799
So obviously, we talked about Shane Lowry's um hole-in-wands.
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:05.839
There is one man who has had more hole in ones than Shane Lowry since 2018, I think it is.
00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:08.000
Shane Lowry is on five.
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:10.160
This is on the PGA tour.
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:12.079
There is a man who's got more.
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:15.599
No, it's not Sang J, is it?
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:17.440
Is it uh you're close.
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:19.680
I know I I know I am, I know I am.
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:21.599
It's uh is Seawill Kim.
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:22.799
Seawill Kim.
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:25.680
Lovely stuff, great work, thank you very much.
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:28.880
Oh well, treat yourself.
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.440
Um other one, Alex Norrin, another man who and Sepp stracker at one point.
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:38.000
Now I'm bringing the European names to life because really that's what I cared about.
00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:46.160
Um both had a bit of runs, best finishes for Norren at the Masters since he started, good points.
00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:56.880
Sepp was vibes in a way for a little while, really excited at one point, but he kind of kind of just fell away uh a little bit, but just enjoyed seeing the names.
00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:09.839
Now um there was a on Friday evening when the leaderboard was essentially McElroy running away with it, but then you had Rose, you had Lowry, um Fleetwood was up there at that point.
00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:13.599
Um two of our two of our friends, Elliot and Ryan, had a bet.
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:24.240
And it was you take either you take either US player or the rest of the field, which was essentially Europe.
00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:29.440
Ryan obviously had the US, and Elliot took um the rest of the field.
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:36.880
Now I'm sure it was a lot closer than they both thought it would be, but thought it was quite an interesting um interesting bet that they put on on Friday night.
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:39.680
Nice.
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:40.720
Yeah.
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:46.640
Um Europe has had a really good masters run of late, has it not?
00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:51.680
I haven't I haven't I can't think about I in my mind there's just lots of Europeans at that champion's center.
00:31:52.559 --> 00:32:01.359
I think it I think it's a a real I think Europeans are better shot makers than than the Americans as as like uh across the board.
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:14.880
And I think that Augusta is I mean, if you look at that shot that Cam Jung hit into eight, a par five up the hill on the final day, where there's yeah, where there's a big mounds past the flag and you hit it and the crowds go, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:18.240
It's almost like he knows it's coming back, but the crowd just don't expect it.
00:32:18.319 --> 00:32:21.920
I mean, they're the sort of shots that you have to hit round now, you know, going straight to the flag isn't an option.
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:23.839
You're using slopes and this, that, and the other.
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:30.880
It's it's like uh I just think it suits Europeans a lot more, especially if it's firm and fast and you know, fiddly.
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:36.880
I think Americans are just like, I'm gonna stay up there, gimme driver, I'm gonna lace it, and I'll work it out from there.
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:41.039
Which is why I don't think I think that's why I think Bryson's maybe struggled a bit.
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:58.799
I know we've moved on from that, but just touching back up on it, winning back to at Live Events, he's got to have been thinking, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna be right up there, but I just don't think they have, like Steve says, you know, I just don't think they have the the shots that we are brought up sort of having quite and it transcends, I think.
00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:02.640
Joshua, lots of lots of bets went on last week.
00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:05.920
Were were there any like top eight winners?
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:10.720
Like how how did the they conclude your your half a field that you took?
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:13.680
Yeah, so I put 65 pounds of bets on.
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:18.319
Um and really pleased to say that£66.80 came back.
00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:21.119
So you know, I'm a winner, right?
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:22.240
You're a businessman.
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:23.680
Yeah, yeah.
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:35.759
You know, money is my passion, business is my life, you know, all that stuff like um so yeah, the the real payouts came via a few men.
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:39.200
Tyrrell Hatton, just doing bits for the boys.
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:43.039
I slotted him in uh at 45 to 1, as we know.
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:47.039
Justin Rose got my boy, you've got to have your boy.
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:55.359
Um as I moved down the lead, Patrick Reed got T12, and Paddy Power were paying out to paying out to top 12.
00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:59.519
Um, there are other betting companies you can use, just to put that out there.
00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:09.519
Um and then they were the only three that hit, but they all paid out handsomely, which was which was nice.
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:21.920
Um nearly fancied to kept created got me at a T12, and I did have a Fitzpatrick who we've mentioned, who we haven't mentioned and was actually quite disappointing, who finished one shot outside of what would have been the paying places.
00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:24.400
So um pretty happy with the bets.
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:31.119
My my tip of Nikolai Huygard that I felt really, really, really strong about actually.
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:32.400
And you know what?
00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:40.880
We sometimes get things wrong, and I you know, a big takes a big man to be able to stand up and say, you know what, I got it wrong.
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:43.599
I actually still believe he's gonna get it right.
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:56.719
I coaxed a few people into I didn't have a single bet, but I I coaxed people into having some money on Corey Connors because I just thought he's a really good iron player, decent putter, hits an absolute perfect draw every time.
00:34:56.800 --> 00:34:58.079
I thought I can see him doing all right.
00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:01.679
I didn't think he'd win, but I think he might nuzzle like a top six, seven.
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:04.159
And he was clear, he was useless as anyway.
00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:24.480
So I apologize to anyone that's uh at my uh request or my what would be quite funny is um now obviously Josh, you're you you're taking you're taking big swings hoping for a big win, but you've got yourself a return of one pound whatever it was 60 pence.
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:31.599
I wonder what the equivalent bet would have been for Scotty Scheffler to finish in the top what to give you the same return?
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:32.719
What do you reckon?
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:34.719
Sheffler top 40.
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:37.599
It's a good question.
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:39.360
It really is a good question.
00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:42.960
Did you see the guy with contract on Pam Young to not win?
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:44.639
Did you see that American guy?
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:45.119
No.
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:45.440
Yeah.
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:46.639
Oh yeah, yeah, I heard about it.
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:47.199
I did hear it.
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:50.639
$100,000 on Pam Young to not win to win 35k or something.
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:52.880
At the end of Saturday, wasn't it?
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:55.599
I yeah, I yeah, yeah, I think it was.
00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:58.239
I bet he was a nervous, a nervous man at one point.
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:00.960
No, I I actually just didn't think he was gonna win it.
00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:11.519
I I I said in a video put out the day before, I was just like, when you play a absolute like out lights out around Saturday, especially if you'd not done it before, I think it takes a lot to go again on Sunday.
00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:18.639
Uh yeah, so it's always di I mean we spoke about this last time, but it's always important, it's really hard to follow up a low one with another low one, you know.
00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:22.159
I thought it was it was always nailed on for 70 odd the day after.
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:23.760
It would have been a story though, wouldn't it?
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:30.239
You know, going out in four over forty in the final group, final round, last man to do it would have been a tiger.
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:32.239
I mean, I can't think of someone else who's done it.
00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:34.719
Yeah, um, would have been some statement.
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:44.079
It was an interesting start that the last two or bar bar this year, the last two players champions have also won the Masters in the same calendar year.
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:48.480
I thought that would have been I thought it was raining the stars when Jefferson Sheffler won it, Macaroids.
00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:52.639
I think it's a good bet, as in like um Josh, we're losing you.
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:54.719
I'm gonna have to shoot on afraid, boys.
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:58.000
Enjoy the wrap up, chop it up for me, enjoy it.
00:36:58.079 --> 00:36:58.960
We'll catch you on the next one.
00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:00.159
Pleasure, see you later.
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:01.360
Cheers, boy.
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:10.880
Um I I do think I do think betting on the player's winner now with the schedule how it is, I think is a good um is a good bet.
00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:14.400
Like I think they're coming in with form, they've also got a big tournament behind them.
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:26.239
Um so I I wasn't surprised to see him do well, but I'm not sure I agree with this whole sort of um conversation of it should be the fifth major and that sort of thing.
00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:32.320
I I mean that you know there's people on Twitter that are or X that are real advocates for you know, we should have five.
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:33.599
I mean, just no, you shouldn't.
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:34.639
It should not be the match.
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:35.360
Right.
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:39.280
It's probably the best win on the PJ tour, but just leave it.
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:42.719
And leave it, leave it being the best spin on the PGA.
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:44.239
I think it's really, really simple.
00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:47.599
The PGA championship has to go back to the end of the season.
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:55.199
McAroy said it, the PGA, it's its brand should be the last shot of glory.
00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:56.320
The closing part.
00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:03.440
Whereas at the minute, it's just a sandwiched major, the fourth it's a sandwiched in fourth major.
00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:04.800
And yeah.
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:06.159
Yeah, I I agree.
00:38:06.239 --> 00:38:20.400
I don't actually, I don't think I think if I I think if if you'd like a Justin Thomas, who's only won two PGA championships, I think if he if he retired tomorrow, I think he'd be very disappointed that they were his two major wins.
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:27.519
I think it's definitely the meaningless major, or the one, or the one that the players would want to win the least.
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:34.400
I I mean let let's who which which major champion do you think has the least value in the game today?
00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:34.960
And mine is.
00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:41.840
Unless you're Rich Beam and then you're absolutely made up at the fact that we won the PGA and you're dying out, you're dying out on it forever.
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:43.519
So that that's where I was going.
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:48.880
I was going like Rich Beam is the probably bless his heart, he's he's great on Sky Sports.
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:52.639
He's probably the most insignificant major champion like in our leader.
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:53.840
He loves it, don't he?
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:56.800
He he'll slip it in whenever he can.
00:38:57.039 --> 00:39:00.079
Did you know on the 2000 and whatever PGA?
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:01.440
So funny.
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:09.360
Um, right, Crouchy, I've got a couple of closing hypothetical questions for you to put a cherry on this this master's cake that we've been baking.
00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:09.920
Okay.
00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:12.000
Question that got battered around.
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:18.719
If you can hit one golf shot on Augusta National, where are you gonna put your ball?
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:21.199
And what are you gonna hit?
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:28.239
I would go T shot on I'd just play the 12th.
00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:29.599
T-shot on the 12th.
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:37.280
I think that's a fair it's a fairly it's the hole that everyone knows, it's you know the famous hole.
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:48.880
I can't if I can't say I'd do overly well on it, but I I heard a couple of I heard a couple saying they'd want to hit a 205-yard shot in 215.
00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:49.360
That's the one.
00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:52.880
I was gonna say yeah, my my second pick would be just a second shot.
00:39:53.039 --> 00:40:01.360
I'd like to just Larak a two-ir in from like 250 into the just to see if I'd just pitch it on the back of the green and shoot it straight into the pond at the end of the street.
00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:08.320
It's probably yeah, so yeah, it would it would be it would be 12 followed by the second shot into 15 for sure.
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:10.159
And so I suppose that answers the question.
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:12.480
Fate favourite hole on the course would be 12.
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:17.840
Uh I actually like I like 15 to be honest.
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:21.840
I think there's you know it's it's late in the round, but it's not too late in the round.
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:24.239
There's a lot that can go wrong or right on that hole.
00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:28.880
You know, you've seen people lay up and then fat it, and you know, people go for it, it's it long.
00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:33.519
I think it's I think 12 is obviously an amazing hole and a very very famous hole.
00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:34.559
But I I do like 15.
00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:36.000
I think 15's a good hole.
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:40.239
For me, I think 13 is the best hole in the world.
00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:43.280
That's a bold call.
00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:45.360
That is a bold call, but but I really do.
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:48.639
I it's it's it's it's it's it's just got everything.
00:40:48.719 --> 00:40:54.320
Like, um listen, I'm I'm not I'm not gonna disagree with you, but yeah, thirteen's a great hole.
00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:56.639
Do you think do you think the T shot?
00:40:57.039 --> 00:41:00.159
I don't think the T-shot really matches the second shot, does it?
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:04.079
I think one you know, once you sort of nurdle it in play, then the hole becomes magical.
00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:08.239
But but these days I don't think it's a nurdle anymore because they've stuck that T so far back.
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:10.320
They've bought land, abort land, abort land.
00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:28.480
Now you have you've got a situation where you either hit a drawing driver, which is a difficult goal shot, and ends up with a lot of people in the pine straight, or you're hitting a three-wood, which they hit much better, but then you're leaving yourself a much longer shot into the the green side slopes.
00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:34.079
It just it has so many different elements, both off the T and then second shot.
00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:37.760
Like I just and then even if you lay up, like it's then not a straightforward either.
00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:42.559
If you know, if you find if you lay up on the right side, you're you're almost equally as stuffed.
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:44.400
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:47.440
I mean the s the second shot from uh from the fairway.
00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:58.480
I mean, we obviously can't tell on the TV how slopy that is, but to try and hoist a four-iron from 220, 230 if when the ball's literally at head height to you must be must be must be difficult.
00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:06.719
There's a video out there of Tiger hitting a second into that green from the green, and it's just like you're like, whoa, like unbelievable.
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:09.840
And and for me, like yeah, I think of like iconic goal shots.
00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:14.800
I watched a video of like Faldo hitting it on there, um, the Mickelson from the tree.
00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:17.840
I mean, there's just been some absolutely unbelievable moments.
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:20.480
So, yeah, absolutely love that hole.
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:21.119
Yeah.
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:26.880
So then our segue, we we've we've enjoyed ourselves around Amen Corner there with those questions.
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:29.360
You've not been to the Masters, am I right in thinking?
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:30.480
I've not been to the Masters.
00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:43.119
No, a few lads from the golf club um went, well, just got back actually, and they said obviously you can't have any phones in there, but when they've come out of the property, they've said it is beyond your wildest dreams that place.
00:42:43.199 --> 00:42:47.760
It's like Wonka's factory, it is just like enchanted, unbelievable.
00:42:48.239 --> 00:42:53.360
So no, in in short, I have not been so two questions for you.
00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:54.960
You have your ticket.
00:42:56.960 --> 00:42:57.760
What's the plan?
00:42:57.920 --> 00:42:59.199
What's the viewing plan?
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:06.639
Because I think there needs to be strict there needs to be strategy, and so you've got your green chair, you're on property for the first time.
00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:09.760
What would you do if you were in charge?
00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:32.719
So I I think I don't know the course enough to know like what holes are adjacent to other holes, but I would probably go, probably plonk myself in and around 11, 12 area, yeah, and then have a wander to what I'm assuming is back up the hill to another finishing hole.
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:35.360
But I'd definitely, I'd definitely I mean I'd plonk my chair.
00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:59.760
If I could choose, I'd slip, I'd sit bang in the middle of the tea box front row, and I'd look left to watch people hoiking it into the pond left of eleven, or watch people hitting down onto eleven and clap them up as they come onto the twelfth tee, watch them fat it into Ray's Krieg, toddle off down the T hop, and pick my green chair up, pack it away, walk up the hill and then just fight through the crowds to see one shot for the last six holes.
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:02.719
Yeah, I I think I I think that would have to be right.
00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:12.400
The the kind of left corner of the of the bottom left corner of the T-box on on 12 must be the most elite position on that golf course.
00:44:12.559 --> 00:44:19.840
And they obviously can't run, and so I love the videos where you see the old boys getting let through the gate at six in the morning, like you know, sprint walking.
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:23.519
Like power walking.
00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:25.119
Oh dear.
00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:38.000
Um so you you've dropped your chair, you dropped your chair at 12, and they decided to take yourself to the most successful merchandise shop in the golfing calendar.
00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:40.239
$70 million per master.
00:44:41.199 --> 00:44:42.320
Just wild, isn't it?
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:45.440
Now hit us with some items.
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:48.079
Like you I think you've got to go in there with a bit of a shopping list.
00:44:48.159 --> 00:44:50.000
Like, how wild would you go?
00:44:50.159 --> 00:45:00.239
How how wide would you stretch the so as you know, I'm not I'm not an avid pro shop buyer as well.
00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:01.920
I texted you, didn't I?
00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:03.760
And I was like, you wouldn't buy something, wouldn't you?
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:05.199
Yeah, you yeah, you did.
00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:06.320
I and I would.
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:17.519
I would buy um so separately, there's there's obviously I've heard from one of one of the lads who's been there a few times, there's two different pro shops, isn't there in Augusta?
00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:22.239
So out of Masters Week, you can buy Augusta National golf club gear that isn't branded in the Masters.
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:25.599
That's the stuff that you really want that you're never gonna get on because you're just unbelievable.
00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:27.679
That's like the Sunningdale Lone Tree, you know.
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:29.920
If you know, you know, if you don't, you've not been.
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:35.360
So I would buy a couple of caps, none of these ones that say like azalea on them or none of that.
00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:36.960
Did you see egg salad?
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:40.079
No, I've not seen that one, but that's never been made.
00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:48.480
I'd buy I'd buy just a nice white green rope, Augusta or Masters emblem.
00:45:48.639 --> 00:45:48.800
Yeah.
00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:54.320
I'd buy a nice Peter Millar polo that I'd never wear, but I'd know I've got it, I'd enjoy it.
00:45:54.639 --> 00:45:57.760
Um I'd buy one of those gnomes that everyone's gonna be.
00:45:57.920 --> 00:45:59.199
Would you would you go gnome, would you?
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:00.559
Yeah, I'd buy gnome, why not?
00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:02.480
Just stick in a cupboard somewhere.
00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:12.719
And if the opportunity arose, but apparently all the caddies buy them, I would buy one of the Scotty Masters, Scotty Cameron Masters limited edition thing, but apparently the caddies just snaffle them up every year.
00:46:13.119 --> 00:46:16.960
Yeah, I I wasn't I think they might have stopped doing them.
00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:19.920
I I was reading something on it, but they obviously they used to do it.
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:22.480
And um and all sorts, didn't they?
00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:23.440
Sets of access to it.
00:46:23.679 --> 00:46:27.599
Uh I actually know someone with one of the Scotty um jobbies.
00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:28.800
Um but yeah.
00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:37.280
I I I I did I thought I read somewhere that that Scotty Cameron stopped doing them, but that I mean that'd be yeah, another one of those things that you just never use, but you'd just have.
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:41.199
Just uh or a master's um alignment stick cover as well.
00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:43.199
I think that'd look quite nice in my bag.
00:46:43.519 --> 00:46:46.719
A little leather, nice soft leather number.
00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:48.559
Um yeah, I'd have one of those.
00:46:48.639 --> 00:46:56.000
I wouldn't go mental, probably spend about a grand just on no five items because it would I was gonna say that sounds relatively controlled to me.
00:46:56.639 --> 00:46:58.559
Well, you've got to think about your luggage on the way home, haven't you?
00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:00.239
You don't ever you don't want to play an empty.
00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:02.239
Absolutely.
00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:04.480
Um well, okay.
00:47:04.639 --> 00:47:06.239
Let me just um scan my list.
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:09.199
I've got anything anything left for you before we depart.
00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:13.519
Oh yeah, I thought it was quite interesting actually, and we were texting back and forth on it.
00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:20.400
Um went down a bit of a rabbit hole on Augusta is it president or chairman, whatever Fred Ridley is.
00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:23.119
Fred Ridley was a chairman.
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:26.159
Fred Ridley was an absolute stick back in the day.
00:47:26.559 --> 00:47:29.280
US amateur winner in 79, I believe it was.
00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:33.840
He was the last ever US amateur winner to never turn professional, just became a lawyer.
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:41.280
I think he then was president of the USGA for for a decade or so, and now finds himself donning the green jacket on Rory McElroy.
00:47:41.519 --> 00:47:45.840
Yeah, he's he's quite a not he's not an elusive character because everyone sees him every year, didn't he?
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:57.679
But no, I don't think anyone really thinks to sort of investigate who he is, where he's from, whether he even plays golf or you know, if he's just like a a corporate figure that they just stick in front of the cameras.
00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:03.119
But yeah, to see, I was really surprised to see that he won the US Am and he played in you know X, Y, and Z and Walker Cup.
00:48:03.199 --> 00:48:04.960
I think he's played as well way back when.
00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:06.800
Yeah, a a baller.
00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:10.000
He could step in if needed if somebody needed a two-ball make-in up.
00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:10.480
Yeah.
00:48:10.719 --> 00:48:13.599
What's that what's that guy called that used to used to play?
00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:16.000
Scott Scott someone?
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:19.760
I was about to ask you, and he's an unbelievable batter, apparently.
00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:22.320
And he I think he beat McElroy by one when they played together.
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:22.960
He did.
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:24.159
I don't I don't think he still plays.
00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:25.679
You never see him on TV, do you?
00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:29.119
But uh yeah, maybe maybe they could give the gig to Ridley if if needed.
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:31.199
I mean, I'm not surprised I don't see him material.
00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:38.880
I saw the the breakdown of how many golf shots were shown by players and basically if we're going in top four, yeah.
00:48:39.039 --> 00:48:49.280
It was just I don't I don't I don't really the coverage, the app's cool, I suppose you can go in and watch it, but like uh the amount of people complaining, especially in America with adverts and everything else, like the coverage is is tough.
00:48:49.519 --> 00:48:51.840
Did you did you see what Kisner put on?
00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:56.000
Um he put a screenshot, or not a screenshot, he put a thing on that he text um card.
00:48:56.239 --> 00:48:59.920
Colt not there was saying I'm better off following it on the PJ tour app.
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:04.400
You and do you are you gonna show a shot or do you ever show any shots on CBS?
00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:07.440
Yeah, I mean it it was bad, it was fine.
00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:09.840
I think we've got it all right in the UK.
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:12.960
Like I think in the US adverts come pretty thick and fast.
00:49:13.039 --> 00:49:19.280
And we have the Rolex tower, don't we, over here, where you sort of get uh you get uninterrupted.
00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:20.719
And I thought it was fine.
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:21.199
Yeah, it was.
00:49:23.039 --> 00:49:29.039
Anyway, 90th Masters in the books, McEroy, back to back.
00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:31.679
Last question, parting question.
00:49:32.239 --> 00:49:37.119
You're at the champion's dinner, which I mean like you're much closer to getting to that champion's dinner than I ever am.
00:49:38.719 --> 00:49:41.199
I'm as close as my dog is to getting in that champion.
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:46.480
They talk about the pockets where everyone sits.
00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:50.960
Where would you uh who would you like to find yourself in between?
00:49:52.079 --> 00:50:00.000
Um I'd I'd go I'd sit near Phil because he's he's got some good stories, I'd imagine.
00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:05.599
Um I'm actually just just reading his book from uh the Alan Chipnock Phil book.
00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:06.960
I'd literally started yesterday.
00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:08.239
There's some good stories.
00:50:08.480 --> 00:50:11.360
Yeah, I think I think Phil Phil would be a good laugh.
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:14.480
Um you're just a lefty through and through, aren't you?
00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:18.000
Yeah, cut me open and I'm just just bleed just bleed it.
00:50:18.239 --> 00:50:20.079
You're gonna have Mike Weir on the other side.
00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:20.800
Yeah.
00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:24.400
I'd go I'd go fill fill in fill in tiger.
00:50:24.559 --> 00:50:33.920
Tiger for stories of the stories of when his demise happened and what he got up to off the off the pitch and fill for fill for other other stories.
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:39.440
Yeah, feed him some patruse that McElroy's gonna put on for next year, and uh I'm sure they're all gonna pour it out.
00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:39.760
Yeah.
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:43.760
All right, Crouchy, thanks for stepping in for this Masters wrap up pod.
00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:45.280
We will see you when we see you.
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:52.000
Me and you are actually playing some golf next week, so um hopeful that will filter through onto socials in some shape or form.
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:54.320
Woodle spar, which I'm looking forward to.
00:50:54.400 --> 00:51:00.000
Um, as ever, we're full program golf Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, and we will see you in the next one.
00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:01.199
Cheers, mate.
