Full Transcript for The Draw: Breaking Down the 2026 Presidents Cup, Alexander and Fitzpatrick’s Domination in Europe, Nishimura’s First Win

his short game, I think he went up and down three or four times, and they weren't like gimme up and down. 00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.200 Like they were, he was making putts from 10 to 15 feet to say par. 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:10.639 Ends up making a bogey on the last, which whatever he was up by, I think three or four at the time. 00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:17.199 But Matt Fitzpatrick just continuing to dominate fields and a really strong field this week, too, at the FedEx Open. 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:24.560 Yeah, I mean, you could argue this to the point of the season where some of the PGA tour guys they go over to the DP World Tour and they start winning tournaments. 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:26.479 It happens, PGA Tour season ended. 00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.919 The guys want to go back and play in Ireland, Scotland, England. 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:39.840 So you get guys that we've seen the past few weeks, JJ Spawn, Shane Lowry, and now Matthew Fitzpatrick, top 20 guys in the world going over there and winning these DP World Tour events, which is fair play to them. 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.879 They want to play golf in September when they don't necessarily need to. 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:53.199 But Matthew Fitzpatrick, we saw how good he was in March, where he brought he just missed out on the players, won a couple tournaments earlier in the year, and Matthew Fitzpatrick is an excellent player. 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:59.759 He is coming, he is turning into the player that we all thought he was he could turn into after winning that US Open a couple years ago. 00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:00.479 And he is here. 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.199 Matthew Fitzpatrick has definitely arrived. 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:12.080 I know last year there was a little confusion, and maybe like Matthew Patrick, some doubts about Matthew Fitzpatrick, but you've mentioned it before in this podcast in August last year. 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:19.439 He turned season around, kind of on a DP World tour, and then played well in the Ryder Cup, and now look where he is now four-time, four-time winner this year. 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.280 So Matthew Fitzpatrick and his brother Alex now, we've seen him too. 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.800 So Matthew Fitzpatrick is, I would say, uh he is, I know it changes all the time, but top three player. 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:32.000 He's definitely top five for sure, and he's proven it again this week. 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.240 Yeah, he's ranked fourth in the world right now. 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.120 I think it goes Scotty, Rory, Cam Young. 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:41.360 Again, like you said, he's arguably the third best player. 00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:46.000 I mean, Cam Young has won too, but not as often as Fitz has this year. 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:47.280 And cool for Fitz. 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:52.560 I know I was reading, I think it was just under a month ago, him and his wife Catherine had their first child. 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.439 So welcome, baby Jack, gets a win right away. 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:56.879 So pretty cool for him. 00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.759 Sets up a nice long month for him as well. 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:05.280 I know he's playing this upcoming week in the DP World Tour event as well, and probably a couple other because he loves playing there. 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:17.199 But yeah, I mean, he goes from maybe not make their Ryder Cup team last year to making it playing well, and now he is almost a lock to be on Luke Donald's team next year. 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.519 And it'd be really cool if he uh could get his brother to play well and get there too as well. 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.800 But another really good tournament on the DP World Tour. 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:39.120 I think I'd like and I enjoy watching these DP World Tour events more than I am the PJ Tour fall events, and we can talk about that later on in previewing our segments for this week because the DP World Tour field and the PJ Tour field this week are quite different. 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:40.720 So, but we'll get to that later. 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:50.399 On the LPJ tour at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, we had a first-time winner, Yuna Nishimura from Japan. 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:56.720 She becomes the 15th Japanese player to be a Rolex first-time winner since 2020. 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.079 I mean, and she cruises away, she wins by five. 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.000 To win your first event by five is just good for you. 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.800 Really cool thing to see another first-time winner. 00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.279 I think it's the third one this year on the LPGA tour. 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.439 So congratulations to her and locks up some status for a couple years now. 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:21.600 Yeah, the last this year and last year, we've seen so many talented, young, talented Japanese golfers getting their first win on the LPGA tour. 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:23.920 Emilia Mosha is the number one example. 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:24.959 She won a major. 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.480 She's a three or four-time winner on the LPGA tour rookie of the year last year. 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.879 And Yuna Nishimura, she's a six-time winner on the J LPGA. 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:40.240 So clearly a very good player, has proven that she can win tournaments, and she goes out and does it in a very good field this week, too. 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:48.319 I know sometimes in these tournaments in this time of year, kind of a tournament in Arkansas, no disrespect to Arkansas, but not really like one of these big markets. 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:52.480 And she goes out and wins in a with in a field with top players. 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:53.839 So all props to her. 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.480 Yeah, I mean, it was again tough field to win. 00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:01.759 Again, I think it was only played over 54 holes for whatever reason, not a

72-hole tournament. 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.160 But again, congratulations to her. 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.120 It's always exciting to see first-time winners kind of change their lives. 00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:11.040 Now, to the big event of the week, the President's Cup at Medina. 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.240 And boy, is there a lot to unravel here? 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:15.199 Where do we start? 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:16.480 Let's start with. 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:22.000 I guess it's a half-hearted good job by the USA team to come back and win. 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:26.399 There's something about Medina and Bad Juju there for USA teams. 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:31.199 I love the course, but I'm sure maybe USA team members don't like going there. 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:32.240 I thought it played great. 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:34.959 I thought as the week went on, it played harder and harder. 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.199 The renovation, well worth it. 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.439 I think that was fantastic. 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:46.959 Actually, for the other podcast, the teacher and the pro that I do, I spoke to the head golf professional earlier today about the President's Cup. 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.759 So that episode's coming up Friday, so make sure to tune into that. 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:51.519 But I know you're right, Brian. 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:52.240 Where do we start? 00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:58.560 Do we start by ripping Brant Snedeker or giving props to Jeff Ogilvy or what? 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:03.920 I think I want to start with Jackson Clivin because he was a really big story going this week. 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.560 And I was so impressed with Jackson Cliven. 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:13.839 I know there was a lot of talk to going this week of can it does he deserve to be on this team in terms of over players like JJ Spawn and Akshay Bhatia? 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:14.800 And he proved it. 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:19.680 Jackson Clivin has arrived, and we saw it when he won on the PGA tour. 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:21.439 And now we see in the team competition. 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:23.839 The kid has swaggered, the kid has talent. 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:24.879 The kid is so good. 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:26.959 I'd say kid, and I'm like a year or two older than him. 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:28.720 Maybe we're the same age, which is funny. 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:29.920 But he is so good. 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:31.199 He played with Justin Thomas. 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:33.920 Justin Thomas, they played very well together. 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.639 I know when Justin Thomas wasn't playing well, Cliven was there. 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:39.040 When Claven didn't have his best stuff, Thomas was there. 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.120 So they played well off of each other. 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:43.120 They were a really fun pairing to watch. 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.680 And then on Sunday, we see Jackson Cliven. 00:07:45.839

--> 00:07:47.360 I believe he played, was it Si Wu Kim? 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:47.519 Yeah. 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.079 The international team's best player, or we best player. 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:51.279 Either him or Hadecki. 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.160 You can pick him or Hadeckey as their best player. 00:07:54.319 --> 00:08:04.399 And he goes out there on 18 and stripes it on the fairway, club twirls, goes, does it again on the fair during the fairway and his approach shot, hits it to 12, 15 feet, Club Twirl walks after it. 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:05.279 He is so good. 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.759 And it was so much fun watching Jackson Clumin play this week. 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:15.360 And I'm so happy that he is going to be on the United States team for President's Cups and Ryder Cups for a good long while. 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.480 This is the exact reason why he needed to be a pick. 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.560 Is he got his feet wet, he stared down the other team's best player, arguably, like you said, and wins. 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:27.839 And just all of this experience, right? 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:28.800 Yes, I get it. 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.920 When if he teases up at a dare manner next year for the U.S. 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.039 Rider Cup, which I hope he does, will it be a different experience? 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:36.399 A thousand percent. 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:39.039 Those fans are not going to be cheering for him. 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:39.440 All right. 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.360 They won't when he tees off in Iron. 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:42.159 They won't be. 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.879 But he has experience to dwell off. 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:51.440 He has experience with some of the guys that will probably be in the same room with his next year and playing in the captains and assistant captains. 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:52.720 Yeah, did he play great? 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:53.519 Yeah, he did. 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.600 He played really well on Sunday. 00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:57.840 He played well Saturday, Thursday. 00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:03.759 There were some pre-jitters and the jitters as usual, the first four or five holes, but he calmed down and then helped JT win. 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.879 So I don't think he like you said, he didn't really play bad. 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:08.639 Only American would go undefeated. 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:09.840 He went 2-0 and 1. 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:11.759 How many 21-year-olds can say that? 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.320 Not many 20-year-olds have teeded up in a presence cup. 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.320 So I think that's a good way to start. 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:19.440 That's one of the things that Captain Seneca did right. 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:24.720 And we can talk about it now because I think this is where it's gonna go. 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:30.000 And they gotta the USA Rider Cup and Presence Cup have to figure out the alternate shot. 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:32.559 Oh, we are an embarrassment. 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:38.799 The four the last four team competitions, so that's the last two rider cups, last two presence cups in the four sums. 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.679 They are eight in 26, 8 wins in four years. 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:45.440 And I get it, it's different. 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.519 It is playing alternate shot. 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:50.080 This is the most difficult thing session of it. 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:50.799 I understand. 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:58.399 I do, but also you are world-class golfers, and you gotta be able to hit if your partner's in the middle of the fairway. 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:00.399 How is it much different if it's your own ball? 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:01.200 I just don't. 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:04.399 I don't know if it's a mental thing, I don't know if it's they don't take it seriously. 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.440 I heard they don't practice it a lot compared to the other teams. 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.679 Like I hear like the rider cup team literally spends one day and they play alternate shot. 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.039 Kevin Kisner said we didn't do that at all when I played. 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:16.000 Why are they not? 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:17.120 It's simple. 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:18.960 Yes, I understand it sucks. 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.840 Like you're playing half shots the whole day. 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.559 I get it, but also that's what's necessary. 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.000 And then the pairings. 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:29.120 I mean, can we we need to talk about some of these pairings? 00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:29.519 Yes. 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:30.720 All right, can I go first? 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:31.679 Go ahead, please. 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:44.480 If I have to watch Patrick Cantley and Xander Shafley on my television screen playing in any competition, in fact, they play almost every single time, they play in four-ball, they play in all shot, and I'm so tired of it. 00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:48.399 They don't, they're just so average, and they don't they did not play well this week. 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:49.440 What's the next one? 00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:49.919 Here we go. 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:52.080 Russell Hley and Jacob Bridgman. 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:52.799 That's the next one. 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:58.000 Russell Henley, I will get to you because you were the worst American, and I told you I'd be coming for you. 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:02.960 But Jacob Bridgeman, Russell Henley was the worst player in the whole entire competition the entire week. 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:04.879 He was all time bad. 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:16.879 Uh, Jacob Bridgman, I'm gonna cut him a little bit of slack because he played with Russell Henley, and that is like playing with I you know, I will keep it respectful, but that is like playing someone that doesn't know how to golf in a nicest way possible.

00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:18.559 But that was horrible. 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:26.879 Scotty Scheffler and Sam Burns, I know they're friends, nice, but maybe they're not we shouldn't put them together when they don't win. 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:42.399 So I just or well, they did win, but or they can't they actually work they were they were competitive, they were competitive, but I'm I just everything I feel like Bran Sataker just closed his eyes and said, I want these guys, and that's I just you can go. 00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:50.960 I just got so I have a lot of your sentiment too because I like they announced these these matches for Friday that we'll start with the Friday alternate shot. 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:52.799 And I get Scheffler and Burns. 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:53.279 I get it. 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:56.799 I do, you know what it's hard playing with the number one player in the world. 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:58.720 Like, I'm sure you feel like letting him down. 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:00.639 So, what's the easiest way to do that? 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.159 You're his best friend with him. 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.759 Sam Burns probably doesn't feel the same emotions like other I get it. 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:15.200 They lost one one down, they lost one up to Colt Connors and Taylor that day, and Burns lipped out for Birdie on the last hole on the 18th hole. 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:15.679 So I get it. 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:16.879 Story of his career. 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:17.679 Yeah. 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:21.679 The next one is what kills me is Russell Henley and Jacob Bridgman. 00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:24.000 And I think Russell Henley's a good player. 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:24.399 I do. 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:28.639 He's like seventh-ranked player in the world, but I don't know if he's a good team competition player. 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:30.159 He hits it too short. 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.240 He's a good putter, and he's a good ball striker. 00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.080 So maybe he just needs to play his own ball. 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:39.360 Putting him with an alternate shot partner of Jacob Bridgman makes no sense. 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:47.519 You have two of your shortest guys on your team playing alternate shot, their strengths are ball striking and putting. 00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:50.159 So now they're in a disadvantage, right? 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.399 They're going up against, they were going against Sanjay M and Hideki Matsuyama. 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.879 Not big hitters, but I'm sure there's an advantage. 00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:02.480 Why would you not pair him, Jacob Bridgman, with his literal best friend, Chris Godderup? 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:03.600 Chris Godderup was great. 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:05.360 Oh, Chris Goderops was also ability. 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:11.440 So imagine Jacob Bridgman playing off Chris Goderup's drive, not Russell Henley's drive. 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:12.639 And that's where I'm

with you. 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:18.879 Jacob Bridgman gets a pass for this week because just like JJ Spawn last year, they're not pairing guys correctly. 00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:25.440 And I don't understand why you're gonna put your two shortest hitters together in an alt-shot group in four-ball. 00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:27.120 Sure, let them play their own ball. 00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:27.919 That's fine. 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:37.360 You had Chris Godterup and Jacob Bridgman, who have talked before how much they want to play together, and how much of an advantage is it for Bridgman, who's the best putter on the PJ tour, right? 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.480 Now you're giving Godter up in just a f like. 00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:42.080 I just it was mind-blowing. 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:44.639 In the next one, I get Justin Thomas, Cam Young. 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:45.759 They played at the presence. 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.000 Justin Thomas should never play foursome. 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:49.759 His game is too erratic. 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.240 He has no idea where the driver is going sometimes. 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.720 I get he's a great ball striker and a wizard. 00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:57.519 His putting is terrible, and he doesn't know where the driver's going. 00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:58.879 Can't play him in foursums. 00:13:59.120 --> 00:13:59.600 Can't do it. 00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:00.240 I don't care. 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:01.840 He's a heartbeat of your team. 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.120 Let him cheer from the side. 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:04.399 I love Justin Thomas. 00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:08.799 I love Justin Thomas and match play too much, but I see your point here. 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:10.480 He didn't play Saturday in it. 00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:10.799 Okay. 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.519 And the last one, Cantley and Shroffly. 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.000 Like you said, they started off 6-9 like 500 since then. 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:19.759 I I'm there, I can't watch it. 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:23.519 Other than Cantley's big putt on Sunday, didn't really do much for me. 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:25.360 Colin Moore, how are Windham Clark? 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:26.240 Good parry. 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:27.279 Good parry. 00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:30.799 Get a lot of hate for William Clark for being one and four. 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:39.200 Morikawa on that Friday round missed so many putts that would have ended the match and let Ryan Fox and Minu Lee come back. 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:44.159 Now Ryan Fox hit like three putts from like 15 plus feet on the back nine, so whatever. 00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:48.639 But Colin Morokawa had chances to answer within 15 feet and missed them all. 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:49.440 That's another one. 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:51.039 I love Colin Morikawa. 00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:54.080 He's short off the T and a terrible putter. 00:14:54.399 --> 00:15:03.679 He's one that I understand why you play him in alternate shot because he's such a good ball striker and he's gonna give good putters looks, but that's one I don't think he can play an alternate shot either. 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.600 Wyndham Clark, great. 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:06.960 I think he could pair. 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:13.120 I thought Wyndham Clark and Russell Henley would have been a good pair just because you play have Henley play off Clark's drives. 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:18.080 There's just a lot of things like he didn't play Godara in the shot session. 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:19.360 He's so good. 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:25.519 He's won three times what this he's won three times this year, and we're resting him every other day. 00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:29.919 Chris Goddard showed why he was one of the better, one of the best players on tour the season. 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:31.039 He played very well. 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.840 But yeah, I agree with pretty much everything you're saying. 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.200 It's just Brand Seneca doesn't, I feel like they don't do any research. 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:38.159 They don't practice. 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:39.679 Okay, here's my next point. 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:45.759 You know how you watch your NFL team on Sunday and they play poorly, and it's like, what do they practice every week? 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:46.960 Do they even practice? 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:50.480 That's my entire thought process at the Ryder Cup for all shot. 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:51.679 What do they practice? 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:53.279 And do they even practice? 00:15:53.519 --> 00:16:00.639 It is just an embarrassing showing every single year with by these international teams that you are way better than talent-wise and skill-wise. 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:07.039 No district, but this should never have been this close, especially loose going down three in the or four into the final day. 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:08.480 That should never happen. 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:10.399 And then and then the Ryder Cup team. 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:11.600 Scotty Saturday. 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:12.960 Yeah, Scotty Sheffler. 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:17.679 I don't care how Scotty Scheffler is playing, he is still Scotty Scheffler. 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:26.879 And I know it's a tough he did not play well, and Scotty Sheffler needs to figure it out, but he is still Scotty Scheffler, and he is he's the man still. 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:33.919 And there is one last thing that I would like to focus on, and I had to mention about it earlier, and I would like to get into it. 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.039 Russell Henley, you were the last, right? 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:43.919 You you did not win a single match, and you halved your match on Sunday when everyone else won their match, it seemed like. 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:44.799 I don't know how. 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:47.600 Russell Henley is an insulting player. 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:51.600 I feel insulted watching

Russell Henley play for my country in these events. 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:54.799 And you want to know I love more than being right. 00:16:55.039 --> 00:17:06.160 The answer is Ben Johnson masterclass on Monday Night Football, but it's actually nothing because I have been on Russell Henley for over a year on how he played last year at the Ryder Cup and how he let everyone down. 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:10.640 And I know he played with Scotty Scheffler, and all you have to do with Scotty Scheffler is just be okay. 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:12.160 And Russell Henley was not good. 00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:14.960 Russell Henley was one of the worst players on the courses this week. 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:20.240 And it JJ and JJ Spawn, I think Russell Henley was possibly an automatic qualifier. 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:25.920 Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about that besides just pray when he steps onto the course. 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:33.359 But JJ Spawn would have been so much better than Russell Henley, Patrick Cantley, Jacob Bridgeman even. 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:38.000 I think JJ Spawn, it's a disappointment, and I'm sure JJ Spawn is watching at home. 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:38.480 You know what? 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.480 He might not be watching at home, he could be on vacation, and I feel that it's a great vacation. 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:48.000 But if you were watching at home, JJ Spawn feels vindicated that he was correct. 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:49.039 And good for him. 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:50.799 This JJ Spawn won this week. 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:53.119 Oh, he didn't play, so I don't know how much of a win it is. 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.640 But Russell Henley, I never want to see you play for the US team again. 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.400 And I know you probably will because you'll win some tournament, which no one cares about. 00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:02.319 But yeah, I'm tired of you. 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:07.599 I think he I'm gonna go on a live and say he won't be at a Dare Manor next year. 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.839 I don't if he's not an automatic qualifier, I don't see again. 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:14.880 We don't the captain with Fuhrer was there all week. 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:16.079 He saw how he played. 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:16.799 I get it. 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:17.440 He's good. 00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:22.079 He is, and maybe he's good in individual events and not the team competition. 00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:27.039 Again, it's different when you don't hit it far and you have to kind of play your own. 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:27.759 But I don't know. 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.400 I just I don't need to see Henley on another team. 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:35.200 If Cantley isn't an automatic qualifier next year, I don't really need to see him at a Dare Mayor. 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:37.920 I get it, he made one big putting people go look at Patty Ice. 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:38.720 I'm like, cool. 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:40.240 What do you do with the rest of the week? 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:43.039 He lost with Sam Burns, he lost with Xander. 00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:45.599 Him and Xander beat someone on Saturday. 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:46.079 Cool. 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:49.359 They beat a tired pairing of someone who's played every day. 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:58.720 Like, I don't again, there are players that will probably be on this team next year, and some players that were on this team that probably shouldn't be on the team, and I'm fine with that. 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:03.119 I mean, the guys that I want to see, I don't care where they finish. 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.599 They could that I I have seen Jackson Coyman play this week and Chris Goddard up. 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:12.960 Those are my big two that I need to see out of Dare Manor because they bleed red, white, and blue. 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:13.680 They are very good. 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:15.440 They are pretty they're Jackson Quiban is young. 00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:21.039 Chris Goddrop is young, they are very good, and there is no reason why they should not be on this Ryder Cup team next year. 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:22.480 And I was so impressed with them. 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:25.599 Yeah, and I think it's time to talk about the international team. 00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:26.559 And you know what? 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:31.119 If I had a hat on tip of the hat, Jeff Ogilfey just ran circles around Brent Senecker. 00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:35.279 I know his team didn't win, but there are sometimes it just happens. 00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:40.160 I thought he was so much better in every decision, every match. 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:46.880 You can maybe nitpick his single idea of backloading it, but again, it's not a bad strategy. 00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:50.319 It's smart if his players would have played a little better. 00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:53.759 Now, you could argue some of them played too much and that's why they retired. 00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:54.319 I don't know. 00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:57.759 But he realizes quick Nico Echeveria can't play. 00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.720 So he benches him. 00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:00.799 He plays him once, then doesn't play again until singles. 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:02.640 Christian Bezenute, same thing. 00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:04.640 Plays once on Friday, doesn't play again. 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:09.759 Again, tough decisions, but also you have to beat a team that is much better than you. 00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:13.200 I thought his pairings were good and he rolled with ones. 00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:18.000 He saw that Connors and Taylor had some momentum and they put him back out and they won again. 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:20.799 I mean, just he pushed all the right buttons. 00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:28.000 He kind of sacrificed Nico and Bazay out to some of the better American players to hopefully steal points other places. 00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:31.440 And

honestly, I some of his veterans didn't step up. 00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:33.839 Adam Scott lost to Patrick Canley. 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:37.920 Hadeki losing to Colin Morakawa after missing a five-foot birdie putt. 00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:42.160 Can't happen if you're trying to upset a team of the USA stature. 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:44.000 Again, Tom Kim, great. 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:48.000 Four, I think he was four-1-0, leading point getter for both teams. 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:48.640 Fantastic. 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.839 Kim and Siu Kim, mainstay, absolute phenomenal. 00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:55.279 I think what happened to Si Wu Kim against Coivan, he ran out of gas. 00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:58.319 Again, it's tough playing all those times in a row. 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:06.799 But if I'm the international team, the President's Cups in Australia in two years at I think Kingston Heath Golf Club, he is my captain. 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:12.559 He I am calling him back either today, tomorrow, and saying the captaincy is yours. 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:14.079 It is in your home country. 00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:15.920 You were great for us at Medina. 00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:21.119 We want to keep the continuity, just like Team Europe with Luke Donald running back for the third time. 00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.039 I think he deserves another shot. 00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:24.720 I think he was great. 00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:28.960 Again, I just think, like we talked about it, the depth of the U.S. 00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:32.160 team kind of showed in the singles match on Sunday. 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.319 Yeah, I 100% agree with you. 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:40.799 To beat this US team when you are outmatched on paper, you have to have strategy and your players have to play well. 00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:44.000 And that's exactly what the international team did up until Sunday. 00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:48.720 They played well, and their strategy and their pairings outmatched the United States team. 00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:49.759 It wasn't even close. 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:57.759 The it was like the I know I'm going to use another example for football, but if you watch the Monday night game with Ben Johnson and Nick Siriani, it was like that. 00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:59.759 Just a completely just different level. 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:06.240 Of brain power and Brand Sedeker completely outclassed, not outclassed, but just outsmarted and out. 00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:17.680 It seems to be a problem with the United States teams and the United States captains of like who were like the last three international competitions we've had, and Zach Johnson, he was the worst one by far. 00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:22.240 I everyone no one likes Zach Johnson because of that and other reasons. 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:24.640 Keegan Bradley was a little better. 00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:27.119 I would argue Keegan Bradley was better than Brand Steneker. 00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:28.799 It was obviously better than Zach Johnson. 00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:30.400 Uh although it was a tough pick. 00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:35.440 And then Brad Stenneker just you picked Jackson Quiven, you actually did something right there. 00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:38.160 But that was one of the few things you did correctly. 00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:42.000 But yeah, I don't know what the United States are they doing, what are they picking their captains? 00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:50.400 Jim Furek, I hope you are watching this and learning not to pick guys who are just have been there before and you want to put some thought into new pairings, things like that. 00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:54.960 But yeah, I think back to the international team point, they were so impressive. 00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:59.039 And I think they deserved, I think they deserved to win more than the United States team did. 00:22:59.119 --> 00:22:59.920 I know for sure. 00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:10.160 The United States, I saw a podcast, I forget who, I saw this on Twitter, but it was like the United States is the smart kid who doesn't study at all for the test, and then they get bailed out and they get an A or whatever. 00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:14.240 And the international team is a team that studies, they put all the work and they just get a worse grade than that. 00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:22.000 And that's exactly what happens that the US team just relies on talent, they go out there and they wing it, and they win and they learn zero lessons whatsoever. 00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:27.519 And you'd think losing a home writer cup would bring some new thinking into this team, and it didn't. 00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:34.880 So I don't know what's going on, but you have a year to figure it out because I would love the United States to win in Ireland next year. 00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:35.839 That would be great. 00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:38.400 But that's I think that's all I have to say on this. 00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:38.880 Yeah. 00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:40.799 We'll see how Jim Fearick does. 00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:44.559 He was the Presence Cup captain two years ago at Montreal and they won. 00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:53.279 And he was the Brider Cup captain 2017 at Lake Golf National in Paris, and they got bombed and they just stunk. 00:23:53.440 --> 00:24:00.880 And I hopefully he learns from those mistakes then and from his presence cup when the couple and he's been around these cups as an assistant and playing them. 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:04.880 So you would think they've got a good grasp, but I just I don't know. 00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:07.119 This alternate shot thing is really concerning. 00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:16.799 And next year, the first session in the Ryder Cup is gonna be alternate shot because Luke Donalds knows because he's a genius that the Americans stink at it. 00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:26.319 So when they tee it up Friday morning at Adair Manor, and it's John Rahman, Tyrrell Hatton versus whoever we put out,

we already have a disadvantage. 00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:31.200 So I'm hoping in the next year, again, it do they I don't know. 00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:32.720 I don't know what the change is. 00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:42.720 Some fresh young blood like Coivan and Goder up, maybe is help bring a couple more fresh blood and like just like young guys who have no idea and just like, yeah, let's just go get it. 00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:43.519 Like, who cares? 00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:44.240 I don't know. 00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:50.079 It's gonna be fascinating over the year as the team develops and who's on the team and all that. 00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:54.960 But yeah, if I'm an international fan, I'm stoked for two years in Australia. 00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:57.680 I think you never know what's gonna happen with live and stuff. 00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:10.000 So if you can get some of those live guys, if you can get Cam Smith back and Joaquin Neiman and kick off Christian Bazinude and Nico Echeveria, boys that it changes a big dynamic of that international team for sure. 00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:11.359 So it'll be interesting. 00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:13.039 Again, Medina played great. 00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:16.480 I hope they get another US Open or PJ Championship or something there. 00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:18.079 I thought it was a fair test. 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:21.039 I loved the drivable par four over the water. 00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:26.559 That was fantastic viewing and some of the par threes and the internal out of bounds. 00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:27.680 You could talk about that. 00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:30.400 I don't know if you love it or like it or hate it. 00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:31.920 I loved it. 00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:39.279 The fact that it was internal OBs with a fence close, and then you get close to the green, it's like three yards away from the green. 00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:42.240 I want some BJ tour courses to incorporate this in. 00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:46.640 I think it would just create for some great drama at some of these tournaments. 00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:47.759 Yeah, I loved it. 00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:51.200 I know sometimes these guys they play tournaments, and it's like, what do they they get bad shots? 00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:54.240 They get they hit four shots and they get relief and things like that. 00:25:54.400 --> 00:26:02.640 But I love when golfers get penalized for bad shots and having the internal OB right next to the green where you obviously cannot go left and they hit it left and they get penalized. 00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:03.359 And I love that. 00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:05.839 So I think I need to see more of that on the PGA tour. 00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:13.839 I know those guys are a little bit of professional golfers or crybabies, and they don't like they don't like making bogies and things like that, but we all don't like making bogies. 00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:31.839 But I would love to see that, and then obviously the last thing

was I want you to know that I you caused me some some trauma bringing up bad feelings when you said the John Rom Tyrrell Hatton pairing, and then I thought about the Rory and Tommy Fleawood pairing, and it's just Matt Fitzpatrick and his brother, and Matt Fitzpatrick and Justin. 00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:33.839 Make it stop, make it stop. 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:40.880 There's so many that what better alternate shot pairing are there than two brothers that just won the PJ Tour event team event? 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:44.160 Like, I was just yeah, it's gonna be I don't know. 00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:48.160 We can talk about this week and in the upcoming tournaments to get our mind off it. 00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:50.400 And we'll start with the LPJ Tour. 00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:54.400 They are down in Hawaii for the LOT A championship. 00:26:54.559 --> 00:27:00.799 Again, Hawaii seems like a great place to be right now, being in New York and it being 50 degrees and 40 degrees in the morning. 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:01.920 Not too pleased. 00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:03.279 It's a good field. 00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:07.039 Lydia Co's in it, Gino's in it, Yamosho's in it. 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:12.400 Last year's winner, Yumon Wong, is in it, alien Kim, who won it two years ago, in it. 00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:16.720 Just six winners on the LPG tour, and it's a good field. 00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:18.720 Again, it's Hawaii. 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:21.680 I'm sure it's gonna be great to watch, great views. 00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:24.160 Always love good ocean course view. 00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:27.279 And this time of year, maybe it'll dry out, run a little more. 00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:33.920 Yeah, exciting kind of start, backup start after this Solheim Cup to LPG tour. 00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:39.279 Yeah, that's the part in the LPGA season where they're not in America until mid-November. 00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:44.000 They're going over, they're in Hawaii, they're in Asia, they're playing their second nation swing of the year. 00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:45.119 So that's always fun. 00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:49.680 And this tournament in Hawaii, what's better than there's a lot of places that you could be. 00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:55.519 There's not, there's actually, sorry, there's not many places that are better than Hawaii right now because it is starting to get very cold, like you said. 00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:58.000 And I'm gonna go with Hannah Green this week. 00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:00.240 We know how good she was, how good she is. 00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:06.240 She won three times back in the beginning part of the season in Australia and then in America. 00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:10.799 But yeah, this is, I think, Australia is pretty similar to Hawaii, I'd imagine. 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:12.880 So yeah, we're gonna go with Hannah Green. 00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:13.680 We know how good she is. 00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:15.279 Her putting is phenomenal. 00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:17.599 I'm

gonna go with Hydro Kim Kim. 00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:19.519 She's ranked fourth in the world. 00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:24.480 She won here in 2022, won a couple times this year. 00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:26.400 Again, it's you could pick anyone. 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:31.599 I mean, Gina, who's played great recently before the Solheim Cup, picking up some wins too. 00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:38.480 It's just it's a good field, which is nice to see, not kind of some of these watered-down fields like the PGA tour. 00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:39.920 So we'll go there. 00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:43.039 It the Bank of Utah Championship in Utah. 00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:44.480 The course is really cool. 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:46.720 It's in like a lava field. 00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:52.079 So if you hit driver, you may miss it into black rocks and it's bouncing all over the place. 00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:55.119 Their favorite are wide, but if you miss, you really miss. 00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:57.920 Again, Michael Brennan's the defending champ. 00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:59.119 He's in the field again. 00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:03.119 You do have Jackson Coivin in the field coming off a presence cup win. 00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:05.359 So love seeing that out of the young guy. 00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:11.519 Go win a presence cup and then let's tee it up at the PJ Tour event to try to win again, improve his FedEx Cup standings. 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:15.519 Tony Fien now, Utah native, making his tournament debut. 00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:16.880 Disappointing year for him. 00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:19.359 I think he finished 100th in the FedEx Cup ranking. 00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:23.279 So he's trying to improve that status, keep that PGA Tour status as well. 00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:28.319 Max Homa, social media darling, great golfer, struggled the last kind of two years. 00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:29.519 He's in the field as well. 00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:33.119 But I'm gonna go with another rookie, and I'm gonna go with Ben James. 00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:36.400 We talked about him last event because he finished runner-up. 00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:38.160 We've talked about his high finishes. 00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:42.000 He has three top four finishes in his last five starts. 00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:45.759 And I think he's just gonna at one point win. 00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:50.079 If he qualified for PJ Tour stats, he doesn't because he hasn't played enough. 00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:55.200 He would lead the tour in Fairway's hit and Green's hit, I think were the two stats. 00:29:55.519 --> 00:30:02.640 And those are important stats, especially at a tournament where you're gonna have to shoot probably around 20 under or so. 00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:05.359 So give me Ben James to earn his first career win. 00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:07.680 Yeah, I know the field stinks this week. 00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:09.039 No, no disrespect. 00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:15.440 But if you like Jackson Cliven, which I certainly do, and you like very beautiful golf courses, I would tune in this week. 00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:20.640 But yeah, not a good, not as good as a field at the DP World Tour event we that we will talk about very soon. 00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:23.119 But for this week, I'm gonna go with Ben Coles. 00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:25.359 He has gotten very close. 00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:34.480 He has had some very near misses this year on the PGA tour, and I think he's gonna put himself in a position again this week, and he's going to break through for a win. 00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:38.160 I think he's I think he's I put him in a category with a couple other guys. 00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:43.680 I know I think I've said this before, but Ludwig Oberd puts himself in a position, he's going to win soon. 00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:47.119 So I think Ben Colson's done in a not so great field. 00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:51.119 Also, Jackson Coyben might win, but that's a little boring. 00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:51.599 Yeah. 00:30:51.759 --> 00:31:01.039 I thought about it, but I'm like, yeah, it's gonna be a little bit, I don't, not an actual, maybe an actual hangover, but you know, all the partying and then traveling. 00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:02.559 He went to Auburn, yeah. 00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:08.160 Yeah, yeah, from West Coast all the way over to the back from the East Coast, I guess Midwest in Chicago. 00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:09.200 So it'd be tough. 00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:11.440 But if he does win, pretty impressive by the kid. 00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:21.119 On the DP World Tour, which is the event I'm excited for, is the Alfred Dunhill Champ Lynx Championship, which is their version of the ATT Pebble Beach program. 00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:24.559 But their courses are maybe better than the ATT Pebble Beach. 00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:24.960 I don't know. 00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:32.319 They play on the Old Course, Carnoustie, and the Lynx at Kings Barn. 00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:34.640 So they play 72 holes. 00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:42.000 The cut is after the third round, so each player gets a round at each course, and then the last round is played at the old course at St. 00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:42.640 Andrews. 00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:45.119 Again, it is a really good field. 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:47.599 Robert McIntyre is the defending champ. 00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:50.400 You have Matthew Fitzpatrick in the field again. 00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:54.640 You have T-Roll Hatton, who's won this event three times in the past. 00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:59.279 You have Tommy Fleetwood and Cameron Smith. 00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:00.799 You have a lot of the live guys. 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:03.200 I saw, I think, is Dustin Johnson, isn't it? 00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:09.279 Some of the young live guys like David Puig and Caleb Surrat, Michael Delsasso. 00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:11.519 You have Brooks Kepka, Ryan Girard. 00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:16.640 I mean, this is head and shoulders a better field than the PJ Tour, and I get it. 00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:23.599 PJ Tour players are going over to Europe to play, just to play, and the Europeans from the PJ Tour are going back home to play on that one. 00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:24.319 So I get it. 00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:28.880 And I think it's great because this these tournaments usually end around 11:30 noon. 00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:31.519 So watch that and then turn right on to NFL football. 00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:32.480 So it's great. 00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:34.400 Again, cool golf courses to watch. 00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:40.640 I'm gonna go with a European tour veteran and PJ Tour veteran, Alex Norrin. 00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:45.839 He finished 15th at his last start at the BMW PJ Championship two weeks ago. 00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:50.640 He finished 36th in the FedEx Cup rankings this year on the PJ Tour. 00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.119 He has 12 wins on the DP World Tour. 00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:59.359 He's won multiple times last year and just a pros pro, again multiple time rider cupper. 00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:02.480 And I think he gets a win back at his home tour. 00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:04.160 Yeah, I'm going with a veteran too. 00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:05.359 I'm going with Justin Rose. 00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:06.799 I think it's fun to pick him. 00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:10.000 I thought about there's not, I'm not a big Robert McIntyre fan. 00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:12.640 I know as a lefty myself, I should be. 00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:15.599 And he's from Scotland where all these courses are. 00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:18.480 So if he goes and defends his title, it wouldn't be shocking. 00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:24.160 But I couldn't get myself to pick him just because just some of the tantrums he throws and stuff are just like, come on. 00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:25.759 Those are the tournaments for this week. 00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:27.920 No ladies European tour this week. 00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:30.400 They are off till next week, like we said earlier. 00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:33.119 So again, go check us out, Faradegreen.com. 00:33:33.279
