00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:03.120
Hello and welcome back to Draw, a fairy to green podcast.
00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:05.360
And boy, was it an end training week this week?
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:09.759
And we'll start off with the individual competitions before we get into the President's Cup.
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:24.800
And let's start on the Ladies European Tour where Cassandra Alexander wins for the second time this month, third time in the last year on the Ladies European Tour, and is just miles ahead of the second place person in the order of merit over there.
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:30.079
So she's all but secured her LPJ tour card for next year with the second win this month.
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:33.359
Yeah, Cassandra Alexander is a really exciting player to watch.
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.479
Earlier this year, she had four runner-up finishes without a win.
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:44.640
So she was doing the Scotty Shaffler method of just taking second place and the Nellie Corda method, where she didn't win that season of just being the runner-up, but she turned her season around.
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:49.359
Actually, not didn't turn her season around, but she finally capitalized in positions where she had a win.
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:51.039
She's won twice in the last month.
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.560
She is probably the best player on the 80s European tour.
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:59.679
I know there's an argument to me with Anna Huang, but certainly she'll be on the LPG tour next year.
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:01.039
Very exciting player to watch.
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:01.359
Yeah.
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.239
Anna Wong is the second in the Order of Mayor.
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.840
And I know she didn't play this week, and they have a week off, and then they come back.
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.760
I think their event is in Korea, and they got some big tournaments left.
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:18.480
So there's some chance Anna Wong catches her, but the way Alexander's been playing, again, all those runner-ups you mentioned, two wins.
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.879
It's going to be tough for someone to catch her in that first spot, which is good for her.
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:23.920
She's earned it.
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:24.959
Really good player.
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.640
And luckily for us, we get to see her on the PGA tour next year.
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:40.400
On the men's European side, the DP World Tour, we just had, I don't want to call it a runaway, but Matt Fitzpatrick earns his 11th career win on the DP World Tour, fourth win this year.
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.000
Professionally, he had three on the PJ Tour, gets this one.
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:52.480
It was, I think he had a five-shot or six-shot lead going into the final round and played by his standards really poorly.
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:56.079
The first, I think, 12 holes didn't make a birdie till the 13th hole.
00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:02.000
But
Load full transcript
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
