2025 US Open Pre-Preview Show: The Oakmont Torture Chamber

1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,400
Looking back at the history of golf, man, what
is golf missing?
2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,160
Steroids, missing performance-enhancing drugs,
peptides.
3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,426
They got this thing coming out called the
Enhanced Games.
4
00:00:10,426 --> 00:00:13,599
I think you guys have all seen it on Instagram
for sure if you haven't.
5
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:14,320
Look it up.
6
00:00:14,355 --> 00:00:22,434
It's where athletes across multiple sports are
being appropriately followed by medical
7
00:00:22,434 --> 00:00:28,274
doctors, tested, but they're also being given
the full gamut of performance-enhancing drugs
8
00:00:28,274 --> 00:00:32,219
that we have at our disposal these days in an
effort to break records.
9
00:00:32,219 --> 00:00:36,700
And, you know, somebody might say, well, huge
muscles aren't good for golf or they have some
10
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:41,899
points of diminishing return, but there are a
whole host of performance-enhancing drugs out
11
00:00:41,899 --> 00:00:44,895
there that don't necessarily make you big, but
make you much faster.
12
00:00:44,895 --> 00:00:48,414
So here's the next question that I have for you
guys about the U.S.
13
00:00:48,414 --> 00:00:49,934
Open pre-preview.
14
00:00:49,934 --> 00:00:50,335
Yeah.
15
00:00:50,335 --> 00:00:54,814
After winning the Memorial for a second time,
do you guys think it's Scottie's time?
16
00:00:54,814 --> 00:01:01,179
Like, does this course match up for Scottie
Scheffler the way the Memorial does and some of
17
00:01:01,179 --> 00:01:02,380
these other golf courses?
18
00:01:02,380 --> 00:01:03,340
Scottie's gonna win.
19
00:01:03,340 --> 00:01:06,540
Welcome back, everybody, to Pull Hook Golf, the
podcast.
20
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:08,060
I'm your host, Matt Cook.
21
00:01:08,140 --> 00:01:11,135
Tonight, we've got our co-host, Buttsy.
22
00:01:11,135 --> 00:01:17,694
We've also got our tour insider, Brent Grant,
here with us as well as we are going to have
23
00:01:17,694 --> 00:01:19,614
our 2025 U.S.
24
00:01:19,614 --> 00:01:22,094
Open pre-preview show.
25
00:01:22,094 --> 00:01:25,530
That's the pre to the preview, if you can't
tell.
26
00:01:25,689 --> 00:01:32,650
And with that folks, we do wanna give a quick
shout out as it's obvious what our topic is
27
00:01:32,650 --> 00:01:34,969
tonight, but I wanna give a shout out.
28
00:01:34,969 --> 00:01:36,810
We've got some new sponsors as well.
29
00:01:36,810 --> 00:01:44,334
So, obviously, you guys know DevRoe golf, d e v
e r e u x golf dot com.

00:01:44,575 --> 00:01:50,120

32
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,159
I'm wearing their I believe they call this the
Pro Shop collection.
33
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,880
So all white got their little logo over here.
34
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:58,680
One of them.
35
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,520
Anyways, I like this logo.
36
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:01,159
It's very subtle.
37
00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:06,995
Buttsy's in the back doing dances with his
Devereux Golf T-shirt on, and Brent came right
38
00:02:06,995 --> 00:02:08,194
off of the golf course.
39
00:02:08,194 --> 00:02:10,594
So we're gonna be getting into all of this.
40
00:02:10,594 --> 00:02:11,555
He's been grinding.
41
00:02:11,555 --> 00:02:14,915
Now we also want to give a shoutout to our
sponsors, Vice Golf.
42
00:02:14,915 --> 00:02:17,875
So Vice Golf is stepping it up with us as well.
43
00:02:18,194 --> 00:02:21,389
But pull hook, you can utilize that promo code.
44
00:02:21,389 --> 00:02:23,789
PULLHOOK at checkout at vicegolf.com.
45
00:02:23,789 --> 00:02:27,549
What I love about Vice Golf is that they're not
like, they're performance stuff.
46
00:02:27,549 --> 00:02:29,709
Like, the golf balls are performance-based.
47
00:02:29,709 --> 00:02:34,905
I personally played the Pro Plus, the Vice Pro
Plus, but I was looking at their golf clubs
48
00:02:34,905 --> 00:02:35,224
too.
49
00:02:35,224 --> 00:02:37,385
And I'll tell you guys, like, well priced.
50
00:02:37,545 --> 00:02:42,825
Like, when we're talking about last week, club
manufacturers, a lot of people on the Internet
51
00:02:42,825 --> 00:02:48,379
this past week talked about through some of our
clips and so forth that, you know, golf
52
00:02:48,379 --> 00:02:50,060
equipment's become very expensive.
53
00:02:50,060 --> 00:02:54,939
Vice Golf really hits a great price point with
performance gear.
54
00:02:55,019 --> 00:02:59,019
You can buy their golf balls in bulk and get
them for a heavy discount.
55
00:02:59,019 --> 00:03:06,835
So utilize the promo code PULLHOOK at checkout
for 10% off at vicegolf.com, and that's for the
56
00:03:06,835 --> 00:03:08,275
golf ball side, folks.
57
00:03:08,354 --> 00:03:12,354
They do some cool promos too every month, so be
on the lookout this month.
58
00:03:13,074 --> 00:03:15,120
They could be changing it up a little bit.
59
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,120
But also, last but not least, folks, I've got a
club here.
60
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,599
You might have seen this on the 'gram.
61
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,560
I'm just gonna bring this a little bit closer
to the camera.
62
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,240
Let's get this in frame here.
63
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:26,960
My god.
64
00:03:28,064 --> 00:03:34,944
Ruben over at Custom Golf AZ, and that is
Custom Golf AZ on Instagram, folks.
65
00:03:34,944 --> 00:03:42,980
He's putting together his website now, but a
club fitter from PXG who has been doing custom
66
00:03:43,219 --> 00:03:52,340
coatings and all of the—he's been dialing me in
for a little while now in terms of club
67
00:03:52,340 --> 00:03:52,980
fitting.
68
00:03:53,139 --> 00:03:55,220
He's gonna be doing a lot of club making.
69
00:03:55,300 --> 00:03:59,635
You can tell there's the BB&Co ferrules on
here.
70
00:03:59,795 --> 00:04:07,395
I believe this is called the Devil's Sunrise or
something along those lines, but this is so
71
00:04:07,395 --> 00:04:07,795
sick.
72
00:04:07,795 --> 00:04:13,909
And the KBS shaft, wanna give a shout-out to
KBS, which is right over here with the hat.
73
00:04:13,909 --> 00:04:19,509
But KBS is one of our sponsors hooking us up
with shafts, so we wanna give them a
74
00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:21,829
shout-out—best in the game right there.
75
00:04:21,829 --> 00:04:27,350
But these clubs, man, I tell you what, these
were not in great shape when I sent them over
76
00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:27,670
to him.
77
00:04:28,334 --> 00:04:34,254
And I got back these raw tour blue finish.
78
00:04:34,574 --> 00:04:35,214
Okay?
79
00:04:35,694 --> 00:04:38,654
So they look just absolutely
80
00:04:38,814 --> 00:04:39,935
They do look cool.
81
00:04:40,095 --> 00:04:41,134
They're so dope.
82
00:04:41,189 --> 00:04:48,310
He took a video, put it on Instagram, but check
him out over at Custom Golf AZ on Instagram.
83
00:04:48,310 --> 00:04:49,910
That is his main page.
84
00:04:50,149 --> 00:04:55,750
He also, a while back, refinished a putter for
me as well as one for my wife.
85
00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:58,375
So one was all white.
86
00:04:58,375 --> 00:05:00,375
One is murdered out in black.
87
00:05:00,375 --> 00:05:02,854
I've got it over there, but I can't quite reach
it.
88
00:05:02,854 --> 00:05:08,855
So, but, again, if you're watching this, it is
a Titleist 690 MB.
89
00:05:09,014 --> 00:05:15,730
He redid the entire set where it is brand
spanking new with the KBS C-Taper shafts.
90
00:05:15,730 --> 00:05:16,129
Alright.
91
00:05:16,129 --> 00:05:18,290
There we got our sponsorships out of the way.
92
00:05:18,290 --> 00:05:22,449
I know, you know, I was kinda long-winded there
a little bit, but not
93
00:05:22,449 --> 00:05:22,770
at all.
94
00:05:22,770 --> 00:05:23,730
I will say this, man.
95
00:05:24,004 --> 00:05:30,164
Between those three sponsors right there and
KBS as well, we're really happy with where
96
00:05:30,164 --> 00:05:30,724
we're at.
97
00:05:30,724 --> 00:05:32,485
And Johnnie Walker as well.
98
00:05:32,724 --> 00:05:37,810
So make sure to drink responsibly over the age
of 21 years or older.
99
00:05:37,810 --> 00:05:40,290
There's gonna be some more sponsors coming on
board as well.
100
00:05:40,290 --> 00:05:41,810
That might become a long-winded.
101
00:05:41,810 --> 00:05:46,449
We're gonna add some to the middle part of the
episodes moving forward so it's not all
102
00:05:46,449 --> 00:05:47,970
front-loaded for everybody.
103
00:05:48,210 --> 00:05:49,250
But let's get into it.
104
00:05:49,250 --> 00:05:53,485
We're gonna start off with the tee-off report
with Buttsy, who has the Metallica-looking
105
00:05:53,485 --> 00:05:55,725
Devro Augusta hat on right now.
106
00:05:56,044 --> 00:06:02,845
And, you know, looking back at the history of
golf, man, what is golf missing?
107
00:06:02,925 --> 00:06:03,485
Steroids.
108
00:06:06,620 --> 00:06:07,259
Steroids.
109
00:06:07,259 --> 00:06:07,580
Really?
110
00:06:07,660 --> 00:06:08,379
Steroids.
111
00:06:08,379 --> 00:06:11,180
Missing performance-enhancing drugs, peptides.
112
00:06:11,180 --> 00:06:13,660
They got this thing coming out called the
Enhanced Games.
113
00:06:13,660 --> 00:06:16,620
Think you guys have all seen it on Instagram
for sure if you haven't.
114
00:06:16,779 --> 00:06:17,420
Look it up.
115
00:06:17,420 --> 00:06:25,904
It's where athletes across multiple sports are
being appropriately followed by medical doctors
116
00:06:25,904 --> 00:06:31,745
tested, but they're also being given the full
gambit of performance-enhancing drugs that we
117
00:06:31,745 --> 00:06:35,250
have at our disposal these days in an effort to
break records.
118
00:06:35,250 --> 00:06:39,649
And, you know, somebody might say, well, huge
muscles aren't good for golf or they, at some
119
00:06:39,649 --> 00:06:44,930
points, diminishing return, but there are a
whole host of performance-enhancing drugs out
120
00:06:44,930 --> 00:06:50,175
there that don't necessarily make you big but
make you much faster, make you make your
121
00:06:50,175 --> 00:06:55,854
muscles fire faster, make you have longer,
like, less time to exhaustion on the golf
122
00:06:55,854 --> 00:06:56,414
course.
123
00:06:56,574 --> 00:06:58,654
There'd be a whole bunch of shit to go into it.
124
00:06:58,654 --> 00:07:02,709
So I'm just looking for, like, the Barry Bonds,
Mark McGwire era of golf.
125
00:07:02,709 --> 00:07:02,790
I
126
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:03,269
wanna see. You
127
00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:04,629
You forgot Sammy Sosa.
128
00:07:04,629 --> 00:07:08,149
Sosa, well, this my beautiful him too.
129
00:07:08,389 --> 00:07:12,629
But I just wanna see, like, before they roll
this ball back, you know, and Bryson obviously
130
00:07:12,629 --> 00:07:18,125
maxed it out as naturally as he possibly could
probably without really stepping over any lines
131
00:07:18,125 --> 00:07:20,204
in terms of being tested and stuff like that.
132
00:07:21,004 --> 00:07:22,444
I think there's room.
133
00:07:22,685 --> 00:07:23,805
I'd love to see it.
134
00:07:23,805 --> 00:07:25,164
We didn't have it with Tiger.
135
00:07:25,164 --> 00:07:27,324
That was like everybody's like, he was on
juice.
136
00:07:27,324 --> 00:07:27,644
No.
137
00:07:27,644 --> 00:07:28,125
He wasn't.
138
00:07:28,125 --> 00:07:28,444
No.
139
00:07:28,444 --> 00:07:28,845
No.
140
00:07:28,845 --> 00:07:29,964
He was not.
141
00:07:30,204 --> 00:07:30,925
It's funny.
142
00:07:30,925 --> 00:07:37,569
In our preproduction meeting slash text chain,
Brent was saying the same thing.
143
00:07:37,649 --> 00:07:37,970
Yeah.
144
00:07:37,970 --> 00:07:41,649
I mean, you you guys need to be around people
that are really on this.
145
00:07:41,649 --> 00:07:43,009
Like, he was on some good stuff.
146
00:07:43,785 --> 00:07:45,865
Not maxed out though and and definitely.
147
00:07:45,865 --> 00:07:47,865
No, not the Barry Bonds like the cream.
148
00:07:47,865 --> 00:07:48,345
No.
149
00:07:49,064 --> 00:07:52,585
There's there's room out there for guys to be
really, really, really fast.
150
00:07:52,585 --> 00:07:58,660
I mean, I'm talking like Larry Fitzgerald on
juice with the ability to swing a club like
151
00:07:58,660 --> 00:08:00,180
Tiger Woods, like, something like that.
152
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:01,300
I've said it for years.
153
00:08:01,379 --> 00:08:05,699
When you got a guy that that steps out of would
have been a professional football player and he
154
00:08:05,699 --> 00:08:09,860
grows up playing golf and he's jacked out of
his mind on performance-enhancing drugs, what
155
00:08:09,860 --> 00:08:10,740
happens to the golf ball?
156
00:08:11,014 --> 00:08:13,574
What if he has touch and he flies at four
forty?
157
00:08:13,574 --> 00:08:14,774
Like, is that possible?
158
00:08:15,175 --> 00:08:16,295
Is that out there?
159
00:08:16,694 --> 00:08:17,334
I think it is.
160
00:08:17,334 --> 00:08:18,774
I mean, look at the long drive tour.
161
00:08:18,774 --> 00:08:19,814
Those guys aren't tested.
162
00:08:19,814 --> 00:08:20,055
Right?
163
00:08:20,055 --> 00:08:20,535
Are they?
164
00:08:20,535 --> 00:08:22,615
Well, look at Daley back in the day.
165
00:08:22,615 --> 00:08:23,095
Right?
166
00:08:23,175 --> 00:08:28,029
I mean, think if Daley was juiced, and he just
absolutely murdered it even, like, a hundred
167
00:08:28,029 --> 00:08:31,790
yards further than he did or, yeah, he did used
to.
168
00:08:32,190 --> 00:08:33,789
And he had some of the softest hands.
169
00:08:33,789 --> 00:08:36,830
You asked Phil Mickelson, you asked Tiger
Woods, who had the best short game.
170
00:08:37,149 --> 00:08:41,644
I've heard from multiple people that both of
those gentlemen have talked about that John
171
00:08:41,644 --> 00:08:46,365
Daly had the softest hands in golf and had the
best short game by far.
172
00:08:46,365 --> 00:08:47,085
For sure.
173
00:08:47,485 --> 00:08:49,164
I'm just curious to see what would happen.
174
00:08:49,164 --> 00:08:49,644
You know?
175
00:08:49,804 --> 00:08:53,404
And, again, it's not bodybuilding workouts or
anything like that.
176
00:08:53,404 --> 00:08:57,929
Like, you know, that you take stuff in
bodybuilding to look a certain way and achieve
177
00:08:57,929 --> 00:08:59,529
a certain look.
178
00:08:59,529 --> 00:09:01,529
But in golf, I mean, look at this guy.
179
00:09:01,529 --> 00:09:02,809
I'm telling you in the enhanced games.
180
00:09:02,809 --> 00:09:03,769
He's a swimmer.
181
00:09:03,850 --> 00:09:09,225
He was already a gold medal winner, and you
look at the transformation that he's undergone,
182
00:09:09,225 --> 00:09:12,184
what he looks like now, what he's about to go
and try to break these world records.
183
00:09:12,184 --> 00:09:18,665
If anybody like that played golf, like, holy
So, anyways, that's what's missing.
184
00:09:18,665 --> 00:09:20,345
Well, we got a new audience member here.
185
00:09:20,345 --> 00:09:22,264
So, obviously, we got track golfer on.
186
00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:28,039
We got Joe Bauer on, and we've got Joseph
DelGiorio.
187
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:29,480
Now did you see this one, Buttsy?
188
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:29,720
Yeah.
189
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:29,960
Yeah.
190
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,919
What's going on?
191
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:31,960
Randy the snake.
192
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:32,759
Oh, boy.
193
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,919
Randy the pet wall snake.
194
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:35,879
RIP, Randy.
195
00:09:36,225 --> 00:09:37,264
There you go.
196
00:09:37,264 --> 00:09:38,144
Long time ago.
197
00:09:38,384 --> 00:09:42,065
Buttsy's got some friends coming on to the
episode now.
198
00:09:42,065 --> 00:09:42,865
Love that.
199
00:09:43,024 --> 00:09:43,745
And Joe Power.
200
00:09:43,825 --> 00:09:44,625
Everybody.
201
00:09:44,625 --> 00:09:44,945
Yeah.
202
00:09:44,945 --> 00:09:45,745
Join in.
203
00:09:45,904 --> 00:09:46,625
Chime in.
204
00:09:46,625 --> 00:09:48,304
We love to see it.
205
00:09:48,945 --> 00:09:52,850
Beta blockers, Trot says, mixed with HGH.
206
00:09:53,250 --> 00:09:53,730
Yeah.
207
00:09:53,970 --> 00:09:57,170
Beta blockers, the anti-yip medication of the
future.
208
00:09:57,170 --> 00:09:57,889
Is he?
209
00:09:58,450 --> 00:10:00,129
You know what beta blockers are?
210
00:10:00,370 --> 00:10:01,250
I don't think I do.
211
00:10:01,250 --> 00:10:05,330
Beta blockers are heart meds that control your
heart rate.
212
00:10:05,330 --> 00:10:10,245
So what guys were doing is they were taking
these heart meds because it wouldn't allow your
213
00:10:10,245 --> 00:10:13,845
heart rate to get into a yip situation where,
like, you could have anxiety and you have that
214
00:10:13,845 --> 00:10:15,684
racing heart out on the golf course.
215
00:10:16,325 --> 00:10:17,284
Couldn't do it.
216
00:10:17,284 --> 00:10:20,164
And they got caught for that and finally kind
of put a stop to it.
217
00:10:20,164 --> 00:10:25,309
But, yeah, imagine if you were so worked up and
your heart never got over, you know, 90 beats.
218
00:10:26,029 --> 00:10:27,870
Well, a little easier to perform.
219
00:10:27,870 --> 00:10:29,070
Sure would.
220
00:10:29,070 --> 00:10:30,509
Wouldn't have the yips for sure.
221
00:10:30,509 --> 00:10:32,269
Scotty Holdridge over on X.
222
00:10:32,269 --> 00:10:33,664
Have we covered the dentist yet?
223
00:10:33,664 --> 00:10:34,064
Not yet.
224
00:10:34,064 --> 00:10:34,225
No.
225
00:10:34,225 --> 00:10:37,345
We're about to get into the longest day in
golf.
226
00:10:37,345 --> 00:10:40,944
So that was that was that was a fun little
segment there, Buttsy, with Yeah.
227
00:10:40,944 --> 00:10:41,345
Yeah.
228
00:10:41,504 --> 00:10:43,584
You know, the steroid era.
229
00:10:43,584 --> 00:10:48,544
We haven't had it in golf, man, unfortunately,
the tests are going, so we're probably never
230
00:10:48,544 --> 00:10:49,105
gonna see it.
231
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:56,039
But it could have been quite fun to see guys
bombing at 450 and having soft hands like John
232
00:10:56,039 --> 00:10:56,679
Daly.
233
00:10:56,759 --> 00:10:57,399
Yeah.
234
00:10:57,639 --> 00:10:59,160
It sure would be interesting.
235
00:10:59,240 --> 00:10:59,720
For sure.
236
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,679
Said too, like, the only way to level the
playing field completely is just to allow
237
00:11:04,245 --> 00:11:06,964
anybody to do anything to themselves.
238
00:11:06,964 --> 00:11:11,684
I always thought that, you know, it's their
it's their body to be able to do what they
239
00:11:11,684 --> 00:11:12,245
want.
240
00:11:12,565 --> 00:11:16,964
And if they're willing to put in that and
sacrifice, I mean, playing golf.
241
00:11:16,964 --> 00:11:22,699
Whoever saw the documentary on HBO about Tiger
Woods knows about sacrifice because, man, that
242
00:11:22,699 --> 00:11:26,379
dude did not have a life playing through junior
golf and everything.
243
00:11:26,379 --> 00:11:29,820
Golf was his life, and he was forced to do it
for the most part.
244
00:11:29,899 --> 00:11:31,659
The aid, just to finish real quick.
245
00:11:31,659 --> 00:11:34,375
The aid with that stuff, it's more so in
recovery.
246
00:11:34,375 --> 00:11:34,615
Right?
247
00:11:34,615 --> 00:11:38,615
Like, pitchers were on it in the major leagues,
not because they bombed the baseball, but
248
00:11:38,615 --> 00:11:43,495
because it allowed them to go throw, you know,
15 nights in a row and get up and be healed and
249
00:11:43,495 --> 00:11:44,215
do it again.
250
00:11:44,455 --> 00:11:48,299
Imagine that for the longevity of a four-day
golf tournament when you're out there walking
251
00:11:48,299 --> 00:11:49,980
and you're absolutely exhausted.
252
00:11:49,980 --> 00:11:54,860
If you woke up half as exhausted every day,
that's a pretty big performance benefit.
253
00:11:54,860 --> 00:11:58,059
So it's not just, you know, speed and power.
254
00:11:58,059 --> 00:11:58,779
It's that too.
255
00:11:58,845 --> 00:11:59,164
Yeah.
256
00:11:59,164 --> 00:11:59,564
For sure.
257
00:11:59,564 --> 00:11:59,884
Alright.
258
00:11:59,884 --> 00:12:03,884
Let's get into the longest day in golf, which I
gotta ask you guys.
259
00:12:03,884 --> 00:12:05,565
And I'm gonna start with you, Brent.
260
00:12:05,644 --> 00:12:09,565
I mean, because you've got some strong opinions
around some of this stuff.
261
00:12:09,725 --> 00:12:12,044
But who's got the longest day moniker?
262
00:12:12,044 --> 00:12:16,779
Because we heard it with the Grass League Open
qualifier this year, and now obviously with the
263
00:12:16,779 --> 00:12:17,019
U.S.
264
00:12:17,019 --> 00:12:23,420
Open qualifier, which kinda was the original OG
longest day in golf, where guys are playing 36
265
00:12:23,420 --> 00:12:24,860
holes, are playing pretty much all day.
266
00:12:25,804 --> 00:12:28,365
Which one is the longer day, Brent?
267
00:12:28,365 --> 00:12:33,085
Well, I believe the isn't the Grass League
qualifier 18 holes?
268
00:12:33,565 --> 00:12:34,845
It's only 18 holes.
269
00:12:34,845 --> 00:12:35,485
And it's a
270
00:12:35,325 --> 00:12:36,284
With how many
271
00:12:37,085 --> 00:12:38,125
scramble?
272
00:12:38,429 --> 00:12:39,070
Yep.
273
00:12:39,070 --> 00:12:39,470
Okay.
274
00:12:39,470 --> 00:12:40,269
Very long day.
275
00:12:40,269 --> 00:12:41,549
Par-three course?
276
00:12:41,789 --> 00:12:42,990
On a par-three course.
277
00:12:42,990 --> 00:12:43,789
Alright.
278
00:12:43,950 --> 00:12:51,389
The opposite of that would be 18 holes by
yourself walking, playing that golf course
279
00:12:51,389 --> 00:12:54,745
twice in the same day.
280
00:12:56,024 --> 00:13:02,558
I'm almost 100% certain that, 6 a.m., 5 a.m.
281
00:13:02,558 --> 00:13:06,264
wake-up at the latest, to a 7 p.m.
282
00:13:06,264 --> 00:13:06,824
finish.
283
00:13:06,824 --> 00:13:07,304
I think
284
00:13:08,090 --> 00:13:13,129
I think, Grass League, just so that I kind of
set the table properly because I probably
285
00:13:13,129 --> 00:13:14,250
didn't at the beginning of this.
286
00:13:14,250 --> 00:13:15,690
I kind of baited you a bit.
287
00:13:15,769 --> 00:13:20,809
But the Grass League states it because of the
starting time of the first group to the last
288
00:13:20,809 --> 00:13:21,929
group that plays.
289
00:13:21,929 --> 00:13:22,490
Interesting.
290
00:13:22,490 --> 00:13:28,024
Because they go from early in the morning all
the way through to, like, what does it go till,
291
00:13:28,024 --> 00:13:28,345
Buttsy?
292
00:13:28,345 --> 00:13:29,225
Like, midnight?
293
00:13:29,225 --> 00:13:31,865
But one person isn't playing all day.
294
00:13:32,825 --> 00:13:34,504
One person isn't playing all day.
295
00:13:34,504 --> 00:13:35,384
That's kind of
296
00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:37,299
That's why I started with you, Brent.
297
00:13:37,299 --> 00:13:39,540
I knew you were gonna bring the heat on that
one.
298
00:13:39,540 --> 00:13:43,860
Buttsy, what do you think when it comes to the
longest day in golf?
299
00:13:43,860 --> 00:13:45,379
Who owns that moniker now?
300
00:13:45,940 --> 00:13:47,220
What do you mean?
301
00:13:47,220 --> 00:13:47,700
And, like
302
00:13:47,779 --> 00:13:48,899
So is it the U.S.
303
00:13:48,899 --> 00:13:55,945
Open qualifier that owns that moniker, or is it
the Grass League because of the amount of time
304
00:13:56,184 --> 00:13:58,024
that that qualifier goes on for?
305
00:13:58,345 --> 00:13:59,785
For the individual, the U.S.
306
00:13:59,785 --> 00:14:00,184
Open.
307
00:14:00,184 --> 00:14:06,585
For the venue, like, the totality of the day,
the Grass League.
308
00:14:07,319 --> 00:14:07,799
Wow.
309
00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:08,360
Love it.
310
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:08,919
Okay.
311
00:14:09,079 --> 00:14:11,399
We got through that one with ease, gentlemen.
312
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,039
Let's talk about the longest day in golf U.S.
313
00:14:14,039 --> 00:14:15,159
Open style.
314
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,120
So there are some standout stories that took
place.
315
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,039
And, Brent, I know that you've been keeping a
close eye on all of this.
316
00:14:22,264 --> 00:14:25,384
Let's talk about some of these standout
stories.
317
00:14:25,625 --> 00:14:33,065
First off, Cameron Young wins in a playoff,
and, you know, Fowler was in that qualifier.
318
00:14:33,065 --> 00:14:34,745
Max Homa was in there.
319
00:14:35,384 --> 00:14:40,399
In Ohio, both of them fell short, so they're
not gonna be in the U.S.
320
00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:41,199
Open.
321
00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:47,519
There's also a few guys as well, but let's talk
for a second about some a little bit of drama
322
00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:51,039
because Max Homa split again with another
caddie.
323
00:14:51,434 --> 00:14:51,835
Oh, really?
324
00:14:52,235 --> 00:14:54,075
A couple weeks with him.
325
00:14:54,075 --> 00:14:54,475
Yeah.
326
00:14:54,475 --> 00:14:56,634
So that's why he was carrying his own bag.
327
00:14:56,634 --> 00:15:02,154
It started as kind of this feel-good story, and
then they started asking him and insiders
328
00:15:02,154 --> 00:15:06,315
started telling news outlets and so forth what
was really going on.
329
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,600
And, Max Homa has lost another caddie.
330
00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:12,360
Brent loves it.
331
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,639
We've lost Brent.
332
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,680
I mean, come on with this shit already.
333
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:17,800
This guy kills.
334
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,840
This guy absolutely kills.
335
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:29,855
So he gets fired by one of his closest friends
and for whatever reason decides that he can't
336
00:15:29,855 --> 00:15:34,014
find a person for 36 holes and decides to carry
his bag.
337
00:15:34,174 --> 00:15:44,009
What more of a reason would one person have
other than just spitefulness to go do that?
338
00:15:44,009 --> 00:15:44,889
That is unbelievable.
339
00:15:44,889 --> 00:15:53,894
Especially after four days at the Memorial
getting paid God knows how much money, getting
340
00:15:53,894 --> 00:15:55,254
X number of points.
341
00:15:55,654 --> 00:15:58,214
This is ridiculous at this point.
342
00:15:58,214 --> 00:16:00,054
This guy is living the high life.
343
00:16:00,054 --> 00:16:01,815
He's got a great family.
344
00:16:01,815 --> 00:16:07,250
I'm super happy for him off the golf course,
but every decision he has made as far as golf
345
00:16:07,250 --> 00:16:12,210
is concerned over the last year and a half has
done nothing but to show him as somebody that
346
00:16:12,210 --> 00:16:17,889
makes a ton of excuses and points fingers at
those that really have nothing to do with who
347
00:16:17,889 --> 00:16:18,529
hits the shot.
348
00:16:19,235 --> 00:16:20,195
It's ridiculous.
349
00:16:20,195 --> 00:16:20,754
I mean, come on.
350
00:16:20,754 --> 00:16:21,555
Poopies.
351
00:16:21,634 --> 00:16:21,955
Yeah.
352
00:16:21,955 --> 00:16:22,835
Poopy pants.
353
00:16:22,835 --> 00:16:23,235
Yep.
354
00:16:24,195 --> 00:16:24,995
I will say this.
355
00:16:24,995 --> 00:16:27,555
It does seem like Homa's going through
something.
356
00:16:27,555 --> 00:16:27,875
Yeah.
357
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:28,355
Clearly.
358
00:16:28,355 --> 00:16:30,035
And on course, off course.
359
00:16:30,035 --> 00:16:34,435
I don't know if necessarily the off course is
going as well as you think it might be going
360
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,200
because, you know, having somebody who's
complaining a lot, and he did reference this
361
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:45,279
within his post-round kind of when media was
asking him and so forth.
362
00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:49,695
He didn't want to talk about the caddie
situation, but he did say he alluded to it a
363
00:16:49,695 --> 00:16:53,454
little bit to where he's like, well, there's
nobody else out there to blame other than
364
00:16:53,454 --> 00:16:55,695
myself when I'm just out there by myself.
365
00:16:55,695 --> 00:16:56,095
Sure.
366
00:16:56,095 --> 00:16:56,654
So which means
367
00:16:56,735 --> 00:16:57,134
He kinda
368
00:16:57,294 --> 00:17:00,014
Which means that there's somebody to blame when
somebody's dead.
369
00:17:00,014 --> 00:17:00,334
Thank you.
370
00:17:00,740 --> 00:17:01,139
Yeah.
371
00:17:01,139 --> 00:17:01,620
Exactly.
372
00:17:01,620 --> 00:17:03,220
And I think he's aware of that.
373
00:17:03,220 --> 00:17:05,619
That's such a comment.
374
00:17:06,259 --> 00:17:07,059
It is.
375
00:17:07,059 --> 00:17:08,499
But at least he's aware of it.
376
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:11,619
And it might not be something that he can
necessarily control right now.
377
00:17:11,619 --> 00:17:12,099
Yeah.
378
00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:14,224
Actually, that that maybe you're right, though.
379
00:17:14,224 --> 00:17:19,424
Maybe that is what he means by it is it's I
would rather not have the outlet.
380
00:17:19,744 --> 00:17:20,304
Yeah.
381
00:17:20,625 --> 00:17:21,105
Yeah.
382
00:17:21,105 --> 00:17:23,024
I mean, I think everybody goes through stuff.
383
00:17:23,024 --> 00:17:28,640
But, I mean, the fact that he, you know, I I I
don't think there's anybody that disagrees that
384
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,639
signing with Lululemon was a good idea.
385
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:38,144
But getting rid of the golf company that had
been with you since God knows how long, and
386
00:17:38,144 --> 00:17:40,945
then coach, and then who who knows who else?
387
00:17:40,945 --> 00:17:42,944
And then obviously, he got fired by his caddie.
388
00:17:43,025 --> 00:17:50,029
I mean, it's pretty clear that there's
something else going on that is is is almost
389
00:17:50,029 --> 00:17:52,269
like he's just shooting from the hip right now.
390
00:17:52,750 --> 00:17:57,629
He's not really sure where he stands with a few
things.
391
00:17:57,869 --> 00:18:03,789
He probably got thrown for a loop with having a
kid, which I can tell you it absolutely does
392
00:18:03,789 --> 00:18:04,349
that.
393
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:13,515
But I'm very surprised that for somebody that
is as comfortable as he is seems to be having
394
00:18:13,515 --> 00:18:15,115
trouble with the simplest of things.
395
00:18:15,115 --> 00:18:16,555
I think he's just lost, man.
396
00:18:16,555 --> 00:18:22,809
Like, a lot of people attach their
personalities to their golf game, and when it's
397
00:18:22,809 --> 00:18:25,369
not going well, they're not a happy person.
398
00:18:25,369 --> 00:18:27,049
I've seen it numerous times.
399
00:18:27,849 --> 00:18:28,809
I'm guilty of that.
400
00:18:29,130 --> 00:18:29,690
Yeah.
401
00:18:29,690 --> 00:18:30,730
It's unfortunate.
402
00:18:30,730 --> 00:18:34,404
And it's something that you gotta learn from
and realize that you can't attach your
403
00:18:34,404 --> 00:18:36,804
personality and your mood to your golf game.
404
00:18:36,804 --> 00:18:39,044
Like, that's gotta be something that's
separate.
405
00:18:39,044 --> 00:18:43,924
And you would think that a pro golfer would
have realized this and already have gone down
406
00:18:43,924 --> 00:18:44,565
that path.
407
00:18:44,565 --> 00:18:47,309
But, you know, everybody learns in their own
way and different times.
408
00:18:47,309 --> 00:18:52,830
But I do want to go back to the fact that Max
Homa, he had a—so all he needed to do was make
409
00:18:52,830 --> 00:18:55,309
birdie on the par 5, the last hole.
410
00:18:55,630 --> 00:18:59,630
He hit the green in two, three putts in order
to go into that playoff.
411
00:18:59,630 --> 00:19:00,269
Devastating.
412
00:19:00,694 --> 00:19:05,414
And then from there, obviously, loses in the
playoffs, so did Rickie Fowler, Eric Cole, and
413
00:19:05,414 --> 00:19:06,375
Chase Johnson.
414
00:19:06,375 --> 00:19:07,654
So that was in Ohio.
415
00:19:07,654 --> 00:19:09,335
Let's move along to Atlanta.
416
00:19:09,335 --> 00:19:12,295
For Mason Howell, teenage amateur.
417
00:19:12,809 --> 00:19:14,730
Who wants to talk about this kid?
418
00:19:15,049 --> 00:19:18,730
I don't know enough about him to speak on that.
419
00:19:18,730 --> 00:19:22,009
So please enlighten me.
420
00:19:22,170 --> 00:19:25,210
I just know that he's an amateur teenage
phenom.
421
00:19:25,210 --> 00:19:31,595
Seventeen-year-old high school kid, and he
absolutely dominated the pros at a great club,
422
00:19:31,674 --> 00:19:33,355
the Piedmont Driving Club.
423
00:19:33,275 --> 00:19:39,355
Had a buddy whose dad was a member out there in
Atlanta, and there were 83 players for five
424
00:19:39,355 --> 00:19:39,755
U.S.
425
00:19:39,755 --> 00:19:46,829
Open spots, and he finished with a bogey-free
36 holes with 16 birdies, tailing to 18 under
426
00:19:46,829 --> 00:19:47,789
par total.
427
00:19:47,950 --> 00:19:48,990
That's crazy.
428
00:19:48,990 --> 00:19:50,589
Seventeen-year-old kid.
429
00:19:50,589 --> 00:19:55,394
This is kinda like the Blades Brown situation
that we've talked about that Brent absolutely
430
00:19:55,394 --> 00:19:58,275
loves when Buttsy brings up Blades Brown.
431
00:19:58,275 --> 00:19:59,714
He's a big Blades fan.
432
00:19:59,714 --> 00:20:00,674
He's a fan.
433
00:20:00,835 --> 00:20:01,234
I'm sorry.
434
00:20:01,234 --> 00:20:02,434
Huge Blades fan.
435
00:20:02,434 --> 00:20:03,634
Oh, did he get in?
436
00:20:04,434 --> 00:20:04,755
No.
437
00:20:04,755 --> 00:20:05,075
I
438
00:20:05,075 --> 00:20:05,714
don't think so.
439
00:20:05,714 --> 00:20:05,794
No.
440
00:20:06,869 --> 00:20:07,670
Brent does.
441
00:20:07,670 --> 00:20:08,549
He was watching me.
442
00:20:08,549 --> 00:20:09,589
Brent does know.
443
00:20:09,670 --> 00:20:11,190
You better not get in.
444
00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:16,150
I hope the kid plays great, but, man, he's he's
shit, bud.
445
00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:17,430
Dude, it's gonna be tough
446
00:20:17,430 --> 00:20:20,150
for a seventeen-year-old kid to play great at
Oakmont.
447
00:20:20,535 --> 00:20:20,775
Well
448
00:20:20,855 --> 00:20:22,695
like, that's gonna that's a tall task.
449
00:20:22,695 --> 00:20:23,575
I mean yeah.
450
00:20:23,654 --> 00:20:29,255
If it seems like he might be a local guy there,
which either way, I mean, you gotta make it
451
00:20:29,255 --> 00:20:31,015
through locals, which is not easy.
452
00:20:31,894 --> 00:20:35,095
And you gotta place high enough to get the site
that you want.
453
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:40,240
Seems like that's the case, but it also seems
like he's he's found something and that the
454
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,359
golf course fit his eye.
455
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:46,160
He probably was able to spend a fair amount of
time at that golf course leading up to it, but
456
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,000
what a great opportunity for him.
457
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,224
I don't suggest that he turns pro after the
U.S.
458
00:20:51,224 --> 00:20:51,784
Open.
459
00:20:52,184 --> 00:20:54,265
I think if he does, he'd be an idiot.
460
00:20:54,984 --> 00:20:59,224
But that seems to be the thing now is just
these shortsighted individuals.
461
00:20:59,224 --> 00:20:59,384
So
462
00:20:59,545 --> 00:21:03,625
You do hate to see it because there's so much
growth that needs to happen mentally,
463
00:21:03,625 --> 00:21:04,505
especially in the game.
464
00:21:04,849 --> 00:21:07,250
It's not just about your physical talent.
465
00:21:07,490 --> 00:21:10,609
And that's where, like, going through college
and for free.
466
00:21:10,609 --> 00:21:14,289
Figuring it out, yeah, for free and getting
paid now.
467
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:15,009
So it's
468
00:21:15,009 --> 00:21:16,130
Like they get paid now.
469
00:21:16,130 --> 00:21:16,450
Right?
470
00:21:16,450 --> 00:21:17,089
Yeah, dude.
471
00:21:17,089 --> 00:21:22,174
Let's go to a big college and go get some money
and get a
472
00:21:22,174 --> 00:21:22,654
free education.
473
00:21:22,654 --> 00:21:23,454
Ridiculous.
474
00:21:23,454 --> 00:21:24,894
And get fucking good.
475
00:21:24,974 --> 00:21:28,414
You tell me, like, the best times were in
college.
476
00:21:28,414 --> 00:21:32,734
That's where you get to drink, party, have fun,
be a part of a golf team.
477
00:21:32,734 --> 00:21:34,095
Like, it's an absolute blast.
478
00:21:34,730 --> 00:21:36,490
You can still go qualify for all that.
479
00:21:37,130 --> 00:21:38,329
Oh, absolutely.
480
00:21:38,330 --> 00:21:42,490
And I'm gonna go back to Scotty Holdridge here
off of X.
481
00:21:42,490 --> 00:21:44,490
He goes, have we covered the dentist yet?
482
00:21:44,650 --> 00:21:45,529
Here you go.
483
00:21:45,529 --> 00:21:46,570
So I'm about
484
00:21:46,570 --> 00:21:47,289
that, man.
485
00:21:47,450 --> 00:21:53,625
Former Oakmont caddy, now dentist, qualifies
for his home open.
486
00:21:53,704 --> 00:21:54,984
How cool would that be?
487
00:21:54,984 --> 00:21:59,784
You grow up caddying at a major golf course.
488
00:22:00,025 --> 00:22:03,704
I mean, this isn't this would be like caddying
over at Silverleaf growing up.
489
00:22:04,159 --> 00:22:04,480
Yeah.
490
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,479
And then all of a or Whisper Rock.
491
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,640
And then all of a sudden for us Scottsdale
guys.
492
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:09,039
Right?
493
00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:15,599
And all of a sudden, you've got where you have
an opportunity to qualify for the U.S.
494
00:22:15,599 --> 00:22:18,625
Open, and you'll be playing that golf course.
495
00:22:18,625 --> 00:22:20,225
I wonder if he knows the greens still.
496
00:22:20,225 --> 00:22:20,944
Probably.
497
00:22:21,424 --> 00:22:22,224
Probably.
498
00:22:22,384 --> 00:22:24,225
I don't think they changed that much.
499
00:22:24,225 --> 00:22:24,704
Right?
500
00:22:25,025 --> 00:22:29,345
I mean, they go through some redesigns and so
forth, but I don't think they've probably
501
00:22:29,345 --> 00:22:30,465
changed all that much.
502
00:22:30,890 --> 00:22:35,450
So I would imagine he's got a pretty good idea
to this golf course.
503
00:22:35,690 --> 00:22:40,650
But being a dentist, I mean, talk about
inspiration, right, of keeping your game in
504
00:22:40,650 --> 00:22:41,210
shape.
505
00:22:41,210 --> 00:22:42,730
That dude's got a full-time job.
506
00:22:42,730 --> 00:22:48,835
I don't know if he has a family or whatnot, but
he obviously has responsibilities that aren't
507
00:22:48,835 --> 00:22:49,714
just golf.
508
00:22:49,795 --> 00:22:50,275
Yes.
509
00:22:50,275 --> 00:22:55,234
And at I mean, that's very, very inspiring to
hear and see.
510
00:22:55,634 --> 00:22:58,355
There's some others in there as well that
obviously qualify.
511
00:22:58,355 --> 00:23:03,299
We're kinda skipping over some of the other
names, but I feel like the stories are the big
512
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:05,619
stories are the ones that we wanna focus in on.
513
00:23:06,099 --> 00:23:10,899
And then in New Jersey, we've got amateur Ben
James and pro
514
00:23:11,139 --> 00:23:11,779
Ben James.
515
00:23:11,859 --> 00:23:12,979
James Nicholas.
516
00:23:12,980 --> 00:23:15,220
So James Nicholas is big on social media.
517
00:23:15,544 --> 00:23:16,264
Mhmm.
518
00:23:16,585 --> 00:23:21,304
New York City guy and makes his first U.S.
519
00:23:21,304 --> 00:23:23,384
Open, I believe, in New Jersey.
520
00:23:23,704 --> 00:23:25,304
So he's going to Oakmont.
521
00:23:26,265 --> 00:23:26,984
Great story.
522
00:23:26,984 --> 00:23:31,140
He was kinda he was crying after the round
talking to reporters and stuff.
523
00:23:31,140 --> 00:23:34,180
Like, he was emotional, and I think that's
okay.
524
00:23:34,180 --> 00:23:35,140
Buttsy, what do you think?
525
00:23:35,140 --> 00:23:36,819
We've talked about crying before.
526
00:23:36,980 --> 00:23:39,380
Oh, man.
527
00:23:39,380 --> 00:23:40,579
I would bawl.
528
00:23:40,740 --> 00:23:42,339
I don't think I'd be able to hold that back.
529
00:23:42,339 --> 00:23:46,444
I think that'd probably be where I wouldn't
expect myself to go there.
530
00:23:46,924 --> 00:23:50,284
I think that would just be, like, an
overwhelming thing that would that's probably
531
00:23:50,284 --> 00:23:51,884
where I would go with it as well.
532
00:23:51,884 --> 00:23:57,005
I think I would probably break down, and tears
of joy would roll down my face.
533
00:23:57,005 --> 00:23:59,164
And then I'd probably eat something so sick.
534
00:24:01,139 --> 00:24:02,019
Oh, man.
535
00:24:02,019 --> 00:24:05,779
And then, Trout wants to know, Brent, do you
know Brady Calkins?
536
00:24:05,779 --> 00:24:06,419
I know him well.
537
00:24:06,419 --> 00:24:07,940
I know Brady.
538
00:24:07,940 --> 00:24:08,579
Yep.
539
00:24:08,899 --> 00:24:09,779
You know Brady?
540
00:24:10,019 --> 00:24:10,739
Oh, yeah.
541
00:24:11,379 --> 00:24:11,859
Yep.
542
00:24:11,859 --> 00:24:16,414
Brady dominated the Dakotas Tour for a while.
543
00:24:17,214 --> 00:24:19,134
Never quite made it through Q School.
544
00:24:20,015 --> 00:24:26,255
Has struggled a bit off the course, kind of
just fallen into certain things.
545
00:24:27,750 --> 00:24:31,350
And then qualifies for the Korn Ferry Tour.
546
00:24:31,350 --> 00:24:33,430
I think it was last year or the year before.
547
00:24:34,950 --> 00:24:38,710
Just kind of shits the bed, unfortunately, and
then drops off the planet.
548
00:24:39,350 --> 00:24:42,164
But apparently, he's still playing, so he's
qualified.
549
00:24:42,164 --> 00:24:43,605
And I love the guy.
550
00:24:44,005 --> 00:24:50,724
You know, he's a testament to what perseverance
really is, and I wish him all the best.
551
00:24:50,724 --> 00:24:51,605
He's a good dude.
552
00:24:51,684 --> 00:24:52,404
That's dope.
553
00:24:53,309 --> 00:24:57,390
So Austin Whittington wants to know, can we
talk about the hate Evan Thompson got on
554
00:24:57,390 --> 00:24:57,950
Twitter?
555
00:24:58,029 --> 00:24:59,069
I'm not familiar.
556
00:24:59,069 --> 00:25:00,829
You mean that he's that thinks he yeah.
557
00:25:00,829 --> 00:25:02,429
I've seen his videos a couple times.
558
00:25:02,429 --> 00:25:03,950
He's What did he what did he say?
559
00:25:03,950 --> 00:25:04,509
What was so
560
00:25:04,829 --> 00:25:05,869
I don't know what he said.
561
00:25:05,869 --> 00:25:13,605
I don't know anything other than that, you
know, he's kind of playing it as if he is kind
562
00:25:13,605 --> 00:25:15,924
of, you know, like a big deal.
563
00:25:15,924 --> 00:25:23,605
And he's got some influence with certain people
in the social media realm, and he's kind of
564
00:25:23,605 --> 00:25:29,099
been able to use his play to kind of build the
deal up.
565
00:25:29,099 --> 00:25:34,700
And he's I mean, if you watch his social media,
you would think he's basically a tour pro.
566
00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:35,900
But I don't know what he said.
567
00:25:35,900 --> 00:25:39,825
Maybe somebody somebody can Austin can
568
00:25:40,065 --> 00:25:40,625
Yeah.
569
00:25:40,785 --> 00:25:42,065
Please elaborate.
570
00:25:42,065 --> 00:25:42,865
I have no idea.
571
00:25:42,865 --> 00:25:43,744
Elaborate, Austin.
572
00:25:43,744 --> 00:25:49,025
If you could type that in, we'll table that one
for the time being because there was also some
573
00:25:49,025 --> 00:25:51,424
notable qualifying dramas and heartaches.
574
00:25:51,424 --> 00:25:51,585
Okay?
575
00:25:51,839 --> 00:25:58,000
Mark Leishman being one of LIV Golf did not
have a good outing or showing for these
576
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:58,720
qualifiers.
577
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,039
They didn't last year either because what do we
know about LIV Golf?
578
00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:06,559
Once you get past, like, the top 10, it really
starts to fall off.
579
00:26:06,815 --> 00:26:07,295
Yes.
580
00:26:07,295 --> 00:26:08,734
These guys have had names.
581
00:26:08,894 --> 00:26:09,214
Yes.
582
00:26:09,214 --> 00:26:11,214
They've won PGA Tour events.
583
00:26:11,295 --> 00:26:16,254
Some of them have won majors, but their talent
level now is not what it once was.
584
00:26:16,654 --> 00:26:19,054
And they're at the end of their careers.
585
00:26:19,349 --> 00:26:24,230
But Marc Leishman is in Maryland, LIV Golf
veteran.
586
00:26:24,230 --> 00:26:30,470
Marc Leishman had to survive a playoff at
Woodmont Country Club to grab his spot.
587
00:26:30,789 --> 00:26:34,595
So, oh, I guess that one he did end up getting.
588
00:26:34,674 --> 00:26:41,154
At Springfield, Ohio site, PGA Tour pro Zac
Blair dueled an amateur John Peterson through
589
00:26:41,154 --> 00:26:44,434
four extra playoff holes before finally
securing his spot.
590
00:26:45,769 --> 00:26:50,409
Even overseas players made noise at the lone
Canadian site.
591
00:26:50,409 --> 00:26:56,730
PGA Tour winner Emiliano Grillo drained a
birdie on his final hole to clinch his U.S.
592
00:26:56,730 --> 00:26:57,450
Open berth.
593
00:26:57,450 --> 00:26:59,049
Then we've got here okay.
594
00:26:59,049 --> 00:27:00,569
Here's the players that came up short.
595
00:27:00,944 --> 00:27:06,944
So out of 25 LIV golfers who entered final
qualifying, only Leishman and Mexico's Carlos
596
00:27:06,944 --> 00:27:08,704
Ortiz managed to advance.
597
00:27:08,704 --> 00:27:10,624
Others like Sebastián Muñoz.
598
00:27:11,184 --> 00:27:13,505
Actually Muñoz is no longer isn't?
599
00:27:14,220 --> 00:27:14,779
Oh, no.
600
00:27:14,779 --> 00:27:15,179
He is.
601
00:27:15,179 --> 00:27:15,500
Sorry.
602
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:17,739
I'm thinking of Echeverría.
603
00:27:18,299 --> 00:27:20,619
And then Jason Kokrak, he missed out.
604
00:27:20,619 --> 00:27:21,099
Yeah.
605
00:27:21,099 --> 00:27:22,619
Past champions struggled too.
606
00:27:22,619 --> 00:27:24,460
2012 U.S.
607
00:27:24,460 --> 00:27:29,500
Open winner Webb Simpson missed the cut at
North Carolina's qualifier by a single stroke.
608
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:34,144
Fifty-one-year-old Padraig Harrington, he fell
just short in Ohio.
609
00:27:34,545 --> 00:27:38,944
Longtime PGA Tour stalwarts, Matt Kuchar, Adam
Hadwin also failed to qualify.
610
00:27:39,105 --> 00:27:42,224
There was even heartbreak in one golf dynasty.
611
00:27:42,224 --> 00:27:47,429
This is the one that I was thinking of when I'm
like, man, LIV once again, but it wasn't a LIV
612
00:27:47,429 --> 00:27:47,990
player.
613
00:27:47,990 --> 00:27:48,549
Okay?
614
00:27:48,549 --> 00:27:50,469
The LIV player was actually caddying.
615
00:27:50,470 --> 00:27:53,029
It was Luke Poulter, son of Ian Poulter.
616
00:27:53,109 --> 00:27:58,355
He finished 10 under in Florida, but lost in a
playoff for the final spot, leaving him as an
617
00:27:58,355 --> 00:28:00,034
alternate, which might get in.
618
00:28:00,034 --> 00:28:00,514
Who knows?
619
00:28:00,514 --> 00:28:03,075
Somebody might not, you know?
620
00:28:03,075 --> 00:28:04,594
Get sick or who knows?
621
00:28:04,595 --> 00:28:05,154
Yeah.
622
00:28:04,994 --> 00:28:05,394
Know?
623
00:28:05,315 --> 00:28:08,194
Hate to get sick for that tournament, wouldn't
you?
624
00:28:08,355 --> 00:28:08,755
I know.
625
00:28:08,755 --> 00:28:12,115
I saw a post by Lee Westwood, with whom I have
had words on Twitter before.
626
00:28:12,769 --> 00:28:13,409
Really?
627
00:28:14,609 --> 00:28:14,849
Yeah.
628
00:28:14,849 --> 00:28:19,649
We've gone back and forth on a couple of
things, but I did see he wrote this really nice
629
00:28:19,649 --> 00:28:23,009
post about Luke and Ian and just said I love
that for them.
630
00:28:23,009 --> 00:28:23,889
Really do.
631
00:28:24,210 --> 00:28:25,809
So great stuff there.
632
00:28:25,809 --> 00:28:33,225
I didn't know that he missed out until earlier
after he had posted that because I don't think
633
00:28:33,225 --> 00:28:35,865
the results were in yesterday before that.
634
00:28:35,865 --> 00:28:39,785
But anyway, that is the longest day in golf.
635
00:28:39,785 --> 00:28:40,184
Let's see.
636
00:28:40,184 --> 00:28:44,150
Austin Whittington has chimed in with giving us
a little bit more background.
637
00:28:44,230 --> 00:28:46,630
He finished way behind Atlanta, YouTube golfer.
638
00:28:46,630 --> 00:28:51,830
Many think he has fabricated scores like a 59,
just found out or just found an interest in all
639
00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:55,349
the hate, but to his credit, he did qualify.
640
00:28:55,509 --> 00:28:55,910
Well,
641
00:28:56,835 --> 00:28:58,514
can't fabricate that.
642
00:28:59,875 --> 00:29:02,274
So, I mean, it is what it is.
643
00:29:02,994 --> 00:29:03,794
Mhmm.
644
00:29:05,394 --> 00:29:10,674
I don't have much on it because I just haven't
done a whole lot of research around him and
645
00:29:10,674 --> 00:29:10,835
talk.
646
00:29:10,914 --> 00:29:12,035
I don't even know who he is.
647
00:29:12,569 --> 00:29:13,690
I guess that's all.
648
00:29:13,769 --> 00:29:18,089
He's I think he's, like Austin said, a YouTube
guy.
649
00:29:18,490 --> 00:29:25,690
I think he's got some sort of playing history,
but it's yeah.
650
00:29:27,034 --> 00:29:30,474
He's qualified for the Open and blew up about
it.
651
00:29:31,034 --> 00:29:32,794
We're gonna test you real quick here.
652
00:29:32,794 --> 00:29:35,994
DarkSideD says, anyone know the alternate
priority?
653
00:29:35,994 --> 00:29:36,554
So it's
654
00:29:36,554 --> 00:29:38,075
based on the different locations?
655
00:29:38,730 --> 00:29:39,450
Yeah.
656
00:29:39,450 --> 00:29:47,129
From what I understand, the alternate priority
list is based off of strength of field.
657
00:29:47,369 --> 00:29:50,970
Generally, who was there, what it took to
qualify.
658
00:29:52,009 --> 00:29:59,505
Generally, you can't get in as an alternate
unless somebody from your site drops out.
659
00:29:59,505 --> 00:30:03,825
That's how they kind of make it fair for
everybody.
660
00:30:04,065 --> 00:30:08,769
Just because somebody drops off in Springfield
doesn't necessarily mean somebody from
661
00:30:08,769 --> 00:30:10,049
California is gonna get in.
662
00:30:10,049 --> 00:30:16,289
So I'm happy to be wrong about that, but I'm
pretty sure that's what it is.
663
00:30:16,450 --> 00:30:22,704
I don't necessarily love that, but it's just
the way they do it.
664
00:30:22,704 --> 00:30:29,025
Brent's got some internet connection issues,
but I believe what he's saying too, I mean,
665
00:30:29,025 --> 00:30:34,640
he'll correct me if I'm wrong here, but the
only time they go to strength of field is if
666
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,720
somebody drops out that didn't qualify to get
in.
667
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:37,200
Is that right?
668
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:43,279
So the qualified, like ranked alternate
priority, really isn't necessarily a major
669
00:30:43,279 --> 00:30:43,519
thing.
670
00:30:43,519 --> 00:30:51,205
That's if everybody drops out from, let's say
that nobody in the one or two alternate spot
671
00:30:51,205 --> 00:30:58,565
can go from Ohio, let's just say, then the next
one down would fill that spot.
672
00:30:58,565 --> 00:31:03,079
Well, what I'm saying, Brent, so let's say
that, like, Scottie Scheffler gets injured and
673
00:31:03,079 --> 00:31:04,279
he misses the U.S.
674
00:31:04,279 --> 00:31:08,679
Open, an alternate is going to fill in that
spot.
675
00:31:08,839 --> 00:31:09,079
Yes.
676
00:31:09,079 --> 00:31:10,039
Am I correct on that?
677
00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:11,000
I believe that's
678
00:31:11,079 --> 00:31:12,919
strength of field at that point?
679
00:31:13,095 --> 00:31:13,654
Correct.
680
00:31:13,654 --> 00:31:13,974
Yep.
681
00:31:13,974 --> 00:31:19,014
So for example, it also depends on if you know?
682
00:31:19,815 --> 00:31:26,214
So when I qualified in 2023, a buddy of mine
was first alternate and was there.
683
00:31:26,214 --> 00:31:31,090
I don't know how many alternates were there,
but I suppose he, I mean, he waited around and
684
00:31:31,090 --> 00:31:33,009
was the only one on the range when I left.
685
00:31:33,009 --> 00:31:38,930
So, I mean, I think that makes a difference,
but I think it's also who's willing to travel,
686
00:31:39,410 --> 00:31:41,595
as far as during the week alternates.
687
00:31:41,595 --> 00:31:43,674
What a year to qualify for a U.S.
688
00:31:43,674 --> 00:31:44,315
Open for you.
689
00:31:44,315 --> 00:31:45,755
LA Country Club.
690
00:31:45,755 --> 00:31:46,315
That was a blast.
691
00:31:46,634 --> 00:31:49,115
Talk about it, I mean, shoot.
692
00:31:49,115 --> 00:31:51,035
That place is a gem.
693
00:31:51,195 --> 00:31:51,515
Yeah.
694
00:31:51,914 --> 00:31:56,289
And it's a I feel like that was a little bit
more of a fun U.S.
695
00:31:56,289 --> 00:31:57,970
Open in some ways.
696
00:31:57,970 --> 00:31:58,609
Like, U.S.
697
00:31:58,609 --> 00:31:59,649
Opens are not fun.
698
00:31:59,730 --> 00:32:01,250
Can we state that?
699
00:32:01,250 --> 00:32:02,929
Is that kinda supposed to
700
00:32:02,929 --> 00:32:09,335
be I think I think it is the golf, I mean, fun
for everybody.
701
00:32:09,335 --> 00:32:09,654
No.
702
00:32:09,654 --> 00:32:12,295
I don't think the spectators had a ton of fun.
703
00:32:12,295 --> 00:32:18,855
I don't think the golf club necessarily loved
the fact that, you know, they were getting a
704
00:32:18,855 --> 00:32:21,380
ton of shit for what they did, but and also at
705
00:32:21,380 --> 00:32:23,220
the same time talking about just U.S.
706
00:32:23,220 --> 00:32:24,339
Opens in general.
707
00:32:24,419 --> 00:32:24,659
Yeah.
708
00:32:24,659 --> 00:32:27,140
I mean known from players that ass.
709
00:32:27,140 --> 00:32:27,460
Yeah.
710
00:32:27,460 --> 00:32:27,859
Exactly.
711
00:32:27,859 --> 00:32:28,099
Yeah.
712
00:32:28,099 --> 00:32:29,619
Supposed to be torture.
713
00:32:29,859 --> 00:32:31,940
It's kinda like watching the Saw movie.
714
00:32:32,099 --> 00:32:34,899
You're gonna get tortured before you're able to
get out of there.
715
00:32:34,899 --> 00:32:35,140
Yeah.
716
00:32:35,975 --> 00:32:36,615
Yep.
717
00:32:36,615 --> 00:32:37,734
It's the whole point.
718
00:32:37,815 --> 00:32:42,934
I mean, I would love a golf tournament where
even par would win because then that would
719
00:32:42,934 --> 00:32:44,215
really make a difference.
720
00:32:44,215 --> 00:32:45,654
But so
721
00:32:45,734 --> 00:32:49,174
So I've got a great question as we get into the
preview.
722
00:32:49,174 --> 00:32:50,535
Get outside of the longest day.
723
00:32:50,950 --> 00:32:52,390
Let's get into the actual U.S.
724
00:32:52,390 --> 00:32:53,269
Open itself.
725
00:32:53,269 --> 00:32:55,109
And, Buttsy, which U.S.
726
00:32:55,109 --> 00:32:57,990
Open venue is harder, Oakmont or Shinnecock?
727
00:32:57,990 --> 00:32:59,190
Oakmont, I think.
728
00:32:59,190 --> 00:33:00,710
Brent's shaking his head over there.
729
00:33:00,710 --> 00:33:01,830
Brent, who you got then?
730
00:33:01,830 --> 00:33:06,414
I mean, Shinnecock is like, the number was way
higher at Shinnecock than it was at Oakmont
731
00:33:06,414 --> 00:33:07,535
when Dustin Johnson won.
732
00:33:07,535 --> 00:33:11,295
I think Oakmont this year is gonna be just
absolutely disgusting.
733
00:33:11,295 --> 00:33:16,734
Oh, it's super hard, but the way Shinnecock is
designed and the way it played, I mean, guys
734
00:33:16,734 --> 00:33:18,335
were doing crazy things.
735
00:33:18,335 --> 00:33:22,549
I mean, Phil had that thing where he putted off
the green
736
00:33:22,549 --> 00:33:23,589
or almost putted it off
737
00:33:23,589 --> 00:33:24,630
the green or whatever it was.
738
00:33:24,630 --> 00:33:25,429
He kicked it back.
739
00:33:25,429 --> 00:33:25,989
Yeah.
740
00:33:26,230 --> 00:33:27,429
And they lost the yeah.
741
00:33:27,429 --> 00:33:27,829
I mean, he
742
00:33:27,829 --> 00:33:31,429
wanted the two-shot penalty because he didn't
want to, like, he actually thought that he
743
00:33:31,429 --> 00:33:33,005
would make a worse score if he let it
744
00:33:33,005 --> 00:33:33,244
go.
745
00:33:33,244 --> 00:33:33,484
You can
746
00:33:33,484 --> 00:33:35,964
always just replay the shot, which I think is
interesting.
747
00:33:35,964 --> 00:33:36,364
But
748
00:33:36,684 --> 00:33:40,684
I did not know that until that, so that was
interesting.
749
00:33:40,684 --> 00:33:43,884
You can literally he could have just taken a
one-stroke penalty and hit the putt again.
750
00:33:43,884 --> 00:33:44,444
But yeah.
751
00:33:44,444 --> 00:33:45,085
Good point.
752
00:33:45,085 --> 00:33:46,765
Hard to know that in the moment.
753
00:33:46,765 --> 00:33:52,240
But, I mean, to me, Oakmont is about as pure of
a U.S.
754
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,839
Open spot as there is.
755
00:33:54,240 --> 00:34:00,079
Long, difficult off the tee, difficult into the
greens, and the greens roll on a 16.
756
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,795
So there's no it's not tricked out.
757
00:34:03,795 --> 00:34:07,714
It's not that they have to do anything to the
golf course necessarily.
758
00:34:08,035 --> 00:34:11,155
Just grow the rough out and keep the greens as
they normally are.
759
00:34:11,155 --> 00:34:13,315
Do you think Shinnecock gets tricked down?
760
00:34:13,315 --> 00:34:16,789
I think it has to be in order for it to, I
mean, look at what they did.
761
00:34:16,789 --> 00:34:18,550
I mean, they lost multiple greens.
762
00:34:18,550 --> 00:34:20,949
And, obviously, the weather had a little bit to
play.
763
00:34:20,949 --> 00:34:22,150
It did get pretty windy.
764
00:34:22,150 --> 00:34:25,829
But, Oakmont is so pure.
765
00:34:26,070 --> 00:34:31,324
There's nothing about it that you have to do
anything necessarily to make it harder.
766
00:34:31,724 --> 00:34:33,885
Well, that's what Mike Whan was talking about.
767
00:34:34,045 --> 00:34:34,125
Yeah.
768
00:34:34,204 --> 00:34:36,204
A few months ago when they asked him.
769
00:34:36,204 --> 00:34:36,924
They're like, hey.
770
00:34:36,924 --> 00:34:38,924
Is Oakmont gonna be ready for the U.S.
771
00:34:38,924 --> 00:34:39,244
Open?
772
00:34:39,244 --> 00:34:40,204
He goes, it's always ready.
773
00:34:40,284 --> 00:34:42,844
Ready right now for a U.S.
774
00:34:42,844 --> 00:34:43,324
Open.
775
00:34:43,324 --> 00:34:43,565
Yes.
776
00:34:43,565 --> 00:34:45,085
He's like, we're months away.
777
00:34:45,469 --> 00:34:50,109
And now you see where they did this overseeding
with the rough.
778
00:34:50,109 --> 00:34:50,670
Mhmm.
779
00:34:50,909 --> 00:34:52,989
And this stuff is gnarly.
780
00:34:52,989 --> 00:34:56,909
Not only is it long and thick, but the golf
ball goes down to the bottom.
781
00:34:56,909 --> 00:34:58,190
You'll see it get cut.
782
00:34:58,190 --> 00:34:58,829
It looks awesome.
783
00:34:58,909 --> 00:34:59,469
So?
784
00:34:59,469 --> 00:34:59,949
Absolutely.
785
00:35:00,244 --> 00:35:01,285
I don't think so.
786
00:35:01,285 --> 00:35:02,485
I think they keep it.
787
00:35:02,485 --> 00:35:07,364
I think they want once again, I think Mike
Whan, he was in place last year too, wasn't he?
788
00:35:07,364 --> 00:35:08,244
For Pinehurst?
789
00:35:08,244 --> 00:35:08,485
Yeah.
790
00:35:08,485 --> 00:35:10,405
For the How how many U.S.
791
00:35:10,405 --> 00:35:14,005
Opens has Mike Whan been a part of the USGA as
the head of it?
792
00:35:14,804 --> 00:35:15,204
Three.
793
00:35:15,539 --> 00:35:16,579
Three or four.
794
00:35:16,579 --> 00:35:21,699
I think this is the one, though, for him that
he's like, we're gonna have a U.S.
795
00:35:21,699 --> 00:35:22,420
Open.
796
00:35:22,579 --> 00:35:23,940
This is the venue.
797
00:35:24,019 --> 00:35:26,340
We're gonna have guys shoot over par.
798
00:35:26,660 --> 00:35:34,554
I mean, the rough right now is so crazy and
it's not just thick and deep though.
799
00:35:34,554 --> 00:35:41,835
The ball somehow they figured out this overseed
in the rough that actually mixed two different
800
00:35:41,835 --> 00:35:45,869
types together and it sits all the way down at
the bottom of it.
801
00:35:45,869 --> 00:35:48,110
Like, it barely ever sits up.
802
00:35:48,670 --> 00:35:51,070
And so it's gonna be one of those U.S.
803
00:35:51,070 --> 00:35:53,230
Opens where you have to hit fairways.
804
00:35:53,710 --> 00:35:58,054
There's gonna be guys in the rough that can't
get wedged back to the fairway, I think.
805
00:35:58,054 --> 00:35:58,614
Exactly.
806
00:35:58,614 --> 00:35:59,094
So
807
00:35:59,414 --> 00:36:00,614
that's kind of what I'm saying.
808
00:36:00,614 --> 00:36:06,614
So so for example, at the at at L.A., they they
they brought in a few fairways and and kept the
809
00:36:06,614 --> 00:36:09,894
rough pretty thick, leading into the week.
810
00:36:10,170 --> 00:36:15,690
And then the week prior, they went out and
literally widened certain fairways and ended
811
00:36:15,609 --> 00:36:17,289
chopping the rough.
812
00:36:18,170 --> 00:36:23,845
Of the reason why they did that it's not a deep
what did he say?
813
00:36:23,845 --> 00:36:24,244
He
814
00:36:24,805 --> 00:36:25,684
said the field.
815
00:36:25,765 --> 00:36:29,204
That's why it's not a deep field given the
conditions, I think, is what he's saying.
816
00:36:29,204 --> 00:36:29,605
It's like
817
00:36:29,684 --> 00:36:30,244
Oh, okay.
818
00:36:30,244 --> 00:36:30,805
It's only a
819
00:36:30,805 --> 00:36:31,204
few hundred.
820
00:36:31,204 --> 00:36:32,164
We're gonna get to that.
821
00:36:32,164 --> 00:36:32,805
That's actually
822
00:36:32,805 --> 00:36:34,005
what is next
823
00:36:34,260 --> 00:36:36,579
is who are the realistic contenders.
824
00:36:36,579 --> 00:36:39,619
So we'll get into that topic in just a second.
825
00:36:40,420 --> 00:36:44,820
So, yeah, let's keep this conversation going,
though, because I will say this.
826
00:36:45,059 --> 00:36:47,219
I think Shinnecock is the harder of the two.
827
00:36:48,074 --> 00:36:50,875
However, Oakmont is the more pure test.
828
00:36:50,875 --> 00:36:51,195
Absolutely.
829
00:36:51,195 --> 00:36:51,675
For the U.S.
830
00:36:51,675 --> 00:36:52,155
Open.
831
00:36:52,155 --> 00:36:53,114
Absolutely agree.
832
00:36:53,275 --> 00:36:54,155
That's where I just...
833
00:36:54,394 --> 00:36:54,954
Yep.
834
00:36:55,034 --> 00:36:58,714
It's gonna be fun to watch the misery.
835
00:36:58,714 --> 00:36:58,875
Oh,
836
00:36:58,875 --> 00:37:01,034
it's gonna be like watching the movie Saw.
837
00:37:01,034 --> 00:37:07,150
Like I said, there's gonna be a lot of guys
that are willing to lose fingers, to lose limbs
838
00:37:07,150 --> 00:37:08,269
in order to survive.
839
00:37:08,269 --> 00:37:08,750
They're just gonna...
840
00:37:08,909 --> 00:37:10,190
they're gonna die out there.
841
00:37:10,349 --> 00:37:10,589
What's the...
842
00:37:11,869 --> 00:37:16,429
you need to do the research for us real quick,
but what's the highest winning score in a U.S.
843
00:37:16,429 --> 00:37:18,349
Open in the last, like, 20 years?
844
00:37:18,855 --> 00:37:20,215
It's a good question.
845
00:37:20,295 --> 00:37:20,775
You know?
846
00:37:20,775 --> 00:37:23,574
Like, how bad have they made it in the last 20
years?
847
00:37:23,574 --> 00:37:26,535
And then, like, is that going to be eclipsed
this week?
848
00:37:27,014 --> 00:37:33,815
I also think that Oakmont is long enough to
where length isn't going to be the ultimate
849
00:37:33,815 --> 00:37:34,215
advantage.
850
00:37:34,569 --> 00:37:37,530
Like, it's gonna obviously be an advantage, but
accuracy
851
00:37:37,769 --> 00:37:38,489
Depends on the weather.
852
00:37:38,569 --> 00:37:43,849
Length is going to be what is ultimately going
to matter, which
853
00:37:44,409 --> 00:37:45,049
Let's check.
854
00:37:45,049 --> 00:37:46,969
Where what what city is that in?
855
00:37:47,164 --> 00:37:48,364
I know it's in Pennsylvania.
856
00:37:48,364 --> 00:37:49,324
It's in Pittsburgh.
857
00:37:49,324 --> 00:37:55,804
You're gonna win a hole from 220 in the middle
of the fairway versus, you know, 125 in the
858
00:37:55,804 --> 00:37:56,364
rough.
859
00:37:57,164 --> 00:38:02,500
So, I mean, it's raining all this week into
next week.
860
00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:03,139
Oh
861
00:38:03,780 --> 00:38:04,339
my god.
862
00:38:04,339 --> 00:38:04,820
Really?
863
00:38:05,380 --> 00:38:06,339
It's gonna be some lettuce
864
00:38:06,339 --> 00:38:06,500
there.
865
00:38:06,500 --> 00:38:06,980
So
866
00:38:07,859 --> 00:38:08,900
this is kinda what I'm saying.
867
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:09,219
Right?
868
00:38:09,139 --> 00:38:10,260
They cut it.
869
00:38:10,500 --> 00:38:11,539
Have to cut it.
870
00:38:11,539 --> 00:38:11,940
They no.
871
00:38:11,940 --> 00:38:12,339
They have to
872
00:38:12,339 --> 00:38:12,500
cut it.
873
00:38:12,500 --> 00:38:15,059
Well, yeah, they're gonna cut it, but it's
gonna be the length that it probably is
874
00:38:15,059 --> 00:38:19,285
right gonna be it's gonna be about four inches,
three and a half to four inches.
875
00:38:19,925 --> 00:38:21,605
But it doesn't have to be super long.
876
00:38:21,605 --> 00:38:23,045
There's another friendly bet.
877
00:38:23,045 --> 00:38:24,724
I'm just gonna throw this out there.
878
00:38:25,684 --> 00:38:31,765
Who how many guys pull out of the tournament or
or get injured from the rough?
879
00:38:31,765 --> 00:38:34,750
Like, is anybody gonna call out a strain?
880
00:38:34,750 --> 00:38:35,869
Do you think that happens?
881
00:38:36,109 --> 00:38:36,349
Six.
882
00:38:36,349 --> 00:38:38,829
I'm I'm gonna say over under three.
883
00:38:39,309 --> 00:38:39,869
So Brent's
884
00:38:40,109 --> 00:38:43,150
their ass off to gouge it out of this shit
because it is the U.S.
885
00:38:43,150 --> 00:38:43,469
Open.
886
00:38:43,469 --> 00:38:44,589
You're not gonna hold back.
887
00:38:44,589 --> 00:38:45,789
So plus one.
888
00:38:45,789 --> 00:38:47,309
So plus one is the highest.
889
00:38:47,835 --> 00:38:49,275
Plus one, that's Merion.
890
00:38:49,275 --> 00:38:50,315
And then Brooks Brooks.
891
00:38:50,315 --> 00:38:50,954
I don't remember where
892
00:38:50,954 --> 00:38:53,594
where Koepka plus one in the 18.
893
00:38:53,594 --> 00:38:54,315
18.
894
00:38:54,954 --> 00:38:58,474
Was that the year before or after Dustin won
his U.S.
895
00:38:58,474 --> 00:38:59,355
Open at Oakmont?
896
00:39:00,090 --> 00:39:00,410
God.
897
00:39:00,410 --> 00:39:00,890
Might have been
898
00:39:01,050 --> 00:39:02,489
Oh, Brooks won it at Shinnecock.
899
00:39:02,489 --> 00:39:02,890
Duh.
900
00:39:02,890 --> 00:39:03,210
Yeah.
901
00:39:03,210 --> 00:39:03,849
Okay.
902
00:39:04,410 --> 00:39:04,809
Yeah.
903
00:39:04,809 --> 00:39:05,130
Yeah.
904
00:39:05,130 --> 00:39:07,849
And Brooks won it at, like, eight or nine under
or something like that.
905
00:39:07,930 --> 00:39:11,450
So here's the next question that I have for you
guys about the U.S.
906
00:39:11,450 --> 00:39:12,890
Open preview.
907
00:39:13,050 --> 00:39:13,289
Yeah.
908
00:39:13,289 --> 00:39:17,744
After winning the Memorial for a second time,
do you guys think it's Scottie's time?
909
00:39:17,744 --> 00:39:24,144
Like, does this course match up for Scottie
Scheffler the way the Memorial does and some of
910
00:39:24,144 --> 00:39:25,425
these other golf courses?
911
00:39:25,425 --> 00:39:26,625
Scottie's gonna win.
912
00:39:27,824 --> 00:39:28,625
He's gonna win.
913
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,360
I don't think it matches up.
914
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,039
Do I wanna say he's not gonna win?
915
00:39:33,039 --> 00:39:33,519
No.
916
00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:41,199
But it's probably gonna come down to somebody
like a Ludvig, that is just.
917
00:39:42,295 --> 00:39:42,614
Why?
918
00:39:42,614 --> 00:39:43,655
You like Ludvig this week?
919
00:39:43,655 --> 00:39:44,054
I do.
920
00:39:44,054 --> 00:39:45,414
I think he's—We haven't
921
00:39:45,414 --> 00:39:46,534
even heard next week.
922
00:39:46,534 --> 00:39:56,260
I think it might be somebody like that that is
just so orthodox and so—oh, there you go.
923
00:39:56,579 --> 00:39:57,859
Miguel Cabrera.
924
00:39:57,940 --> 00:39:59,539
Plus five at Oakmont.
925
00:39:59,779 --> 00:40:00,179
Yeah.
926
00:40:00,179 --> 00:40:01,139
I remember that one.
927
00:40:01,139 --> 00:40:03,940
I think it was raining and pissy the whole
time.
928
00:40:04,739 --> 00:40:07,940
But, yeah, I think it's just gonna come down to
somebody like that.
929
00:40:07,940 --> 00:40:11,934
I think the reason is Scottie likes to work the
golf ball.
930
00:40:11,934 --> 00:40:15,215
It's not that he's incapable of hitting it
straight.
931
00:40:15,215 --> 00:40:18,735
Obviously, he's the best ball striker on tour.
932
00:40:19,215 --> 00:40:24,710
But he does win at places where the greens sort
of do the thing where they kind of
933
00:40:24,710 --> 00:40:25,989
They do the thing.
934
00:40:25,989 --> 00:40:29,589
They're big openings and they kind of feed and
such.
935
00:40:29,589 --> 00:40:32,469
And Oakmont is just, you know, it's just tiny.
936
00:40:32,469 --> 00:40:35,989
It's like every single green is such small
targets.
937
00:40:35,989 --> 00:40:41,195
And honestly, the other part about it is that
when he plays with the top players, the first
938
00:40:41,195 --> 00:40:45,994
couple of rounds, he doesn't necessarily get
out there and crush it.
939
00:40:46,074 --> 00:40:47,675
So Buttsy, what about you, man?
940
00:40:47,675 --> 00:40:49,434
You said it's Scottie's time.
941
00:40:49,434 --> 00:40:50,795
Scottie's gonna do it.
942
00:40:50,795 --> 00:40:52,635
What are you thinking this week or next week?
943
00:40:52,880 --> 00:41:00,320
I think he's just gonna put it in play, and
maybe the three or four holes out there where
944
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:06,000
he can get something down there that's
relatively short off the tee, he's going to
945
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:06,960
outmatch people.
946
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:11,885
I mean, what I mean by that is six iron into a
green, five iron into a green.
947
00:41:12,045 --> 00:41:13,644
He's gonna have 10 footers.
948
00:41:13,644 --> 00:41:14,045
You know?
949
00:41:14,045 --> 00:41:17,164
He's gonna find a way to do that, and other
guys aren't gonna have distance control and get
950
00:41:17,164 --> 00:41:19,805
that done, and then they're gonna fall apart
when they hit in the rough.
951
00:41:19,965 --> 00:41:26,389
I just think he's gonna fucking chip it around
out there in the short stuff and shoot, I'm
952
00:41:26,389 --> 00:41:28,789
gonna say right now, four under.
953
00:41:28,869 --> 00:41:32,949
Three or four under for the tournament and win
by probably three shots.
954
00:41:33,109 --> 00:41:33,829
Wow.
955
00:41:34,389 --> 00:41:37,909
I do like Scottie this week.
956
00:41:37,989 --> 00:41:44,344
I think Oakmont in the condition, if they keep
that rough the way that it is, and if Scottie
957
00:41:44,344 --> 00:41:50,265
can be as accurate as he has been recently with
the driver, I think Scottie's got a really good
958
00:41:50,265 --> 00:41:54,025
chance because those approach shots from
Scottie Scheffler are unmatched.
959
00:41:54,460 --> 00:41:55,260
Like yeah.
960
00:41:55,340 --> 00:42:00,940
Typically, and he actually did not strike the
ball very well at Memorial for approach shots.
961
00:42:00,940 --> 00:42:06,219
Like, I think he left a few out there, and he
ended up dominating that golf tournament.
962
00:42:06,219 --> 00:42:12,434
So for me, Scottie Scheffler is starting to
reach his peak for this season, let's say.
963
00:42:12,835 --> 00:42:18,434
And I do think Scottie Scheffler has a really
good shot at winning the U.S.
964
00:42:18,434 --> 00:42:19,474
Open this year.
965
00:42:19,554 --> 00:42:20,514
But, again, let's see.
966
00:42:20,514 --> 00:42:22,114
Well, let's see what happens.
967
00:42:22,114 --> 00:42:27,010
I don't think it is as obvious as last week was
with the Memorial.
968
00:42:27,170 --> 00:42:33,889
So let's talk about the contenders because who
are the realistic contenders at the U.S.
969
00:42:33,889 --> 00:42:35,329
Open this year?
970
00:42:35,329 --> 00:42:38,355
And I put together a little list here on the
PGA Tour side.
971
00:42:38,355 --> 00:42:42,675
And I wonder if you guys agree, disagree, and
so forth.
972
00:42:42,675 --> 00:42:46,434
But PGA Tour-wise, we got Scottie Scheffler.
973
00:42:46,434 --> 00:42:48,835
We got Rory McIlroy who's got a chance to win.
974
00:42:49,489 --> 00:42:54,849
Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, Ludvig Åberg,
and Collin Morikawa.
975
00:42:54,849 --> 00:42:56,610
Those are the guys that I've listed.
976
00:42:57,089 --> 00:43:02,289
Can you guys think of anybody else from the PGA
Tour side that has a shot at this?
977
00:43:02,289 --> 00:43:03,569
And then we'll go over LIV next.
978
00:43:04,594 --> 00:43:05,795
Sepp Straka.
979
00:43:05,875 --> 00:43:06,355
Sepp.
980
00:43:06,355 --> 00:43:06,594
Yeah.
981
00:43:06,594 --> 00:43:07,954
I was gonna say Sepp.
982
00:43:08,275 --> 00:43:09,474
Sepp has been playing big.
983
00:43:09,474 --> 00:43:10,034
Strong.
984
00:43:11,474 --> 00:43:12,914
The lefty McIntyre.
985
00:43:12,994 --> 00:43:14,034
That far, though.
986
00:43:14,114 --> 00:43:14,194
No.
987
00:43:14,194 --> 00:43:15,155
I'm just saying he's got
988
00:43:15,155 --> 00:43:15,875
the Straight.
989
00:43:16,034 --> 00:43:18,355
To get to get He's got the girth.
990
00:43:18,355 --> 00:43:18,674
Yes.
991
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,719
It's a funny say, Buttsy?
992
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,800
I think Robert McIntyre.
993
00:43:24,119 --> 00:43:25,000
Bobby Mac.
994
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:25,960
Bobby Mac.
995
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,039
It all depends on the weather, man.
996
00:43:28,039 --> 00:43:37,355
I think if it's if it's playing the way that
that it should play firm, fast, and playing its
997
00:43:37,355 --> 00:43:43,594
hardest, think that's where the guy that hits
it long and straight off the tee and can land
998
00:43:43,594 --> 00:43:50,230
long iron soft, a guy like Rory, a guy like
Xander, guys that are long enough.
999
00:43:50,230 --> 00:43:56,389
And the reason why I think Collin doesn't
necessarily stand a whole lot of chances
1000
00:43:56,389 --> 00:44:01,875
because he doesn't his mid to long iron game
is, I'm not saying he's bad at it.
1001
00:44:01,875 --> 00:44:07,235
Obviously, he's very good, but he's not
necessarily the greatest on the big long
1002
00:44:07,235 --> 00:44:07,795
courses.
1003
00:44:07,795 --> 00:44:13,074
I mean, the PGA that he won was at TPC Harding
Park, which is anything but a long golf course.
1004
00:44:13,139 --> 00:44:14,420
Tribe disagrees with these.
1005
00:44:14,420 --> 00:44:16,339
Says Collin's gonna hit the most fairways.
1006
00:44:16,339 --> 00:44:17,380
It's his week.
1007
00:44:18,260 --> 00:44:20,500
Austin Whittington says that Russell Henley
1008
00:44:20,659 --> 00:44:20,900
Nah.
1009
00:44:20,900 --> 00:44:21,460
That's a good another
1010
00:44:21,460 --> 00:44:21,859
one.
1011
00:44:21,619 --> 00:44:22,099
Out for.
1012
00:44:22,099 --> 00:44:22,819
Great putter.
1013
00:44:22,819 --> 00:44:23,859
Great putter.
1014
00:44:23,859 --> 00:44:24,179
Yeah.
1015
00:44:24,179 --> 00:44:26,339
So, I mean, there's some options out there.
1016
00:44:26,339 --> 00:44:27,859
Now let's talk about hey.
1017
00:44:27,859 --> 00:44:30,335
Well, anybody else you wanna add, Buttsy?
1018
00:44:30,335 --> 00:44:31,534
I don't wanna cut you off short.
1019
00:44:31,534 --> 00:44:31,855
No.
1020
00:44:31,855 --> 00:44:32,094
No.
1021
00:44:32,094 --> 00:44:34,094
That's you covered the base.
1022
00:44:34,094 --> 00:44:36,175
Well, Preston Summerhays is the amateur.
1023
00:44:36,175 --> 00:44:36,494
No.
1024
00:44:36,494 --> 00:44:37,295
Absolutely not.
1025
00:44:37,534 --> 00:44:38,574
And I I like Summerhays.
1026
00:44:38,574 --> 00:44:39,214
That's the okay.
1027
00:44:39,214 --> 00:44:39,614
Come on.
1028
00:44:39,614 --> 00:44:39,775
Yeah.
1029
00:44:39,775 --> 00:44:40,094
I know.
1030
00:44:40,094 --> 00:44:41,855
And I like his dad too, but yeah.
1031
00:44:41,855 --> 00:44:42,094
No.
1032
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,040
LIV Golf.
1033
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,239
He awesome.
1034
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:47,640
I'm shutting
1035
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:48,520
that one down.
1036
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:48,760
Offense.
1037
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:49,960
No offense.
1038
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:50,920
Offense to him once a
1039
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:51,160
while. Couple
1040
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:51,559
Couple years.
1041
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:52,840
Couple years.
1042
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:58,224
LIV Golf-wise, I think there's only two players
that have a chance, and that's Bryson
1043
00:44:58,224 --> 00:44:59,744
DeChambeau and Jon Rahm.
1044
00:44:59,744 --> 00:45:01,425
Am I is there anybody else
1045
00:45:01,664 --> 00:45:02,065
Brooks?
1046
00:45:02,065 --> 00:45:03,184
Do you guys think?
1047
00:45:03,505 --> 00:45:09,344
So I thought about this before putting this
together, and I'm like, I think Brooks is back
1048
00:45:09,344 --> 00:45:10,144
in his head again.
1049
00:45:10,809 --> 00:45:16,170
Where remember when he joined LIV, he didn't
know if he was ever going to be able to compete
1050
00:45:16,170 --> 00:45:17,289
at that level again?
1051
00:45:17,289 --> 00:45:18,329
Saved his career.
1052
00:45:18,329 --> 00:45:18,650
Yeah.
1053
00:45:18,650 --> 00:45:21,609
I think he's actually back to kind of them.
1054
00:45:21,609 --> 00:45:24,170
Like, I'm not inside the head of Brooks Koepka.
1055
00:45:24,170 --> 00:45:24,409
Okay?
1056
00:45:24,664 --> 00:45:26,105
So don't sit here.
1057
00:45:26,105 --> 00:45:27,224
This is not for Gospel.
1058
00:45:27,224 --> 00:45:29,864
I'm just going off of what the guys are telling
me.
1059
00:45:29,945 --> 00:45:31,464
It would be great if I was.
1060
00:45:31,464 --> 00:45:33,224
I wonder, like, what he thinks about.
1061
00:45:33,464 --> 00:45:33,945
Oh, hey.
1062
00:45:33,945 --> 00:45:34,585
There's Jenna.
1063
00:45:34,585 --> 00:45:35,065
Oh, hey.
1064
00:45:35,065 --> 00:45:35,704
There's the baby.
1065
00:45:35,704 --> 00:45:36,344
Oh, hey.
1066
00:45:37,065 --> 00:45:41,639
But realistically, with Brooks Koepka, just
didn't see that at the Masters.
1067
00:45:41,639 --> 00:45:43,480
I didn't see it at the PGA Championship.
1068
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:48,760
And it looks like he's struggled with his
actual mechanics.
1069
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,719
When that happens, all of a sudden he starts
getting in his head.
1070
00:45:52,394 --> 00:45:54,715
And he's the one that said, hey.
1071
00:45:54,715 --> 00:45:58,474
You can't find it on the range the Wednesday
before the tournament.
1072
00:45:58,474 --> 00:46:00,315
Like, you're going in with what you got.
1073
00:46:00,315 --> 00:46:00,715
Fair.
1074
00:46:00,715 --> 00:46:06,315
And I don't think I have seen anything from him
that tells me he will be a contender this week.
1075
00:46:06,715 --> 00:46:11,489
And that's unfortunate because he's a great one
to watch coming down under pressure.
1076
00:46:11,650 --> 00:46:12,289
I agree.
1077
00:46:12,289 --> 00:46:14,210
I mean, he's a great competitor.
1078
00:46:14,210 --> 00:46:20,609
Obviously, he kinda fits the bill for kinda
what most of us strive for, that kinda swagger.
1079
00:46:20,609 --> 00:46:21,809
What about Joaquin?
1080
00:46:22,405 --> 00:46:24,724
Dude, I don't like him at all.
1081
00:46:24,724 --> 00:46:28,085
He can't hit the broadside of a barn off the
tee.
1082
00:46:28,244 --> 00:46:28,485
So
1083
00:46:28,724 --> 00:46:36,164
Joaquin, Joaquin, I feel like every LIV Golf
fan is just living for the day that Joaquin
1084
00:46:36,164 --> 00:46:37,684
Niemann plays well in a major.
1085
00:46:37,820 --> 00:46:38,380
Yeah.
1086
00:46:38,380 --> 00:46:39,099
That's the problem.
1087
00:46:39,099 --> 00:46:40,699
That's kinda why I said it.
1088
00:46:41,420 --> 00:46:41,739
Can we
1089
00:46:41,739 --> 00:46:48,139
can we touch on, guys of that build and kinda
we'll we'll get there.
1090
00:46:48,139 --> 00:46:48,780
You just go ahead.
1091
00:46:48,780 --> 00:46:50,699
I had Well, I don't think I'm in my head.
1092
00:46:50,699 --> 00:46:56,194
Truth be told, I don't think I would have a
great opportunity at Oakmont or I mean, you are
1093
00:46:56,194 --> 00:47:00,114
actually for your size, Brent, you're pretty
damn strong.
1094
00:47:00,275 --> 00:47:03,635
Like, you have a very strong golf swing.
1095
00:47:03,875 --> 00:47:10,200
And what I mean is that, like, a thin, slender
guy like a Joaquin Niemann.
1096
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:10,440
It's probably
1097
00:47:10,599 --> 00:47:10,760
Yeah.
1098
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,280
I mean, he's a hundred percent in that round.
1099
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:12,760
Yeah.
1100
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:13,320
I mean, that's kinda
1101
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:14,280
struggles in there.
1102
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:15,400
That's kinda what I was saying.
1103
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:21,815
I think part of the problem with some of these
guys that are battling injury is that the
1104
00:47:21,815 --> 00:47:28,295
moment that you make one golf swing of any
speed out of 4-inch thick rye, Kentucky
1105
00:47:28,295 --> 00:47:36,989
bluegrass, whatever the hell they're making
over there, your entire body takes a hike, man.
1106
00:47:36,989 --> 00:47:42,349
It goes, oh god, and then never wants to do
that again, and then you start guiding it off
1107
00:47:42,349 --> 00:47:43,550
the tee everywhere you go.
1108
00:47:43,550 --> 00:47:43,789
Yeah.
1109
00:47:43,789 --> 00:47:49,585
If you have to do that four or five times or
six times in a round, might not feel so good.
1110
00:47:49,585 --> 00:47:52,144
I mean so and the other thing is too.
1111
00:47:52,144 --> 00:47:52,385
Right?
1112
00:47:52,385 --> 00:47:53,505
I mean, it's it's what?
1113
00:47:53,505 --> 00:47:55,105
7,600 yards?
1114
00:47:55,505 --> 00:47:56,785
It's it's a deep
1115
00:47:56,785 --> 00:47:57,585
golf course.
1116
00:47:57,585 --> 00:47:58,305
It's long.
1117
00:47:58,305 --> 00:48:02,945
We just said that it's it's raining all this
week.
1118
00:48:03,025 --> 00:48:03,265
Okay?
1119
00:48:04,679 --> 00:48:09,239
It's rained a shitload this spring, which is
part of why the grass is so thick to begin
1120
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:09,719
with.
1121
00:48:10,119 --> 00:48:17,474
But then that also means that the fairways are
going to be soft unless it picks up blows 50,
1122
00:48:17,474 --> 00:48:20,674
you know, after the you know, after this week,
which who knows.
1123
00:48:20,674 --> 00:48:23,554
But, that also means that if you hit
1124
00:48:23,554 --> 00:48:24,355
in the rough, the ball
1125
00:48:24,355 --> 00:48:29,154
is not gonna go very far at all, which means
you probably got a similar club, that you would
1126
00:48:29,154 --> 00:48:31,640
from the fairway hitting three.
1127
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:32,039
So
1128
00:48:32,599 --> 00:48:34,520
I'm I'm gonna be honest with you guys.
1129
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,840
I'm glad I'm not playing in the U.S.
1130
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:39,400
Open.
1131
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,400
I I wanted to play so bad, dude.
1132
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:42,200
I know you do.
1133
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:43,079
I love that.
1134
00:48:43,079 --> 00:48:45,720
I would love an opportunity to play a golf
course like that again.
1135
00:48:46,925 --> 00:48:48,284
I just have no interest.
1136
00:48:48,284 --> 00:48:53,085
And just like Kyle over at KartBarnGuy says,
basically, like, the tenth tee at Parker.
1137
00:48:53,405 --> 00:48:54,364
It really is.
1138
00:48:54,364 --> 00:48:55,244
Be right back.
1139
00:48:55,244 --> 00:48:56,925
I mean, it's very, very close.
1140
00:48:56,925 --> 00:48:58,605
It is basically the yeah.
1141
00:48:58,605 --> 00:49:00,445
Every hole is basically like that.
1142
00:49:00,525 --> 00:49:00,684
Yeah.
1143
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:01,920
Yeah.
1144
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,599
Rolling out a 16.
1145
00:49:03,599 --> 00:49:04,639
I mean,
1146
00:49:04,639 --> 00:49:05,599
it's tough.
1147
00:49:05,599 --> 00:49:05,839
Yeah.
1148
00:49:05,839 --> 00:49:07,039
It's a tough deal there.
1149
00:49:07,039 --> 00:49:11,199
Probably one of the hardest holes on the planet
outside of what you'd find on the front nine at
1150
00:49:11,199 --> 00:49:13,359
Hero, but pretty close.
1151
00:49:13,485 --> 00:49:14,845
I mean, let's talk about that.
1152
00:49:14,845 --> 00:49:17,005
I mean, how does this golf course even come
close?
1153
00:49:17,325 --> 00:49:19,405
I mean, why don't we just always talk about
that?
1154
00:49:19,405 --> 00:49:20,364
Well, they can't.
1155
00:49:20,364 --> 00:49:21,085
They can't.
1156
00:49:20,925 --> 00:49:21,244
And
1157
00:49:21,244 --> 00:49:24,684
we are not going out on a rant about the Hero
World Challenge.
1158
00:49:24,684 --> 00:49:27,485
I mean, it's so important to the game of golf.
1159
00:49:27,485 --> 00:49:29,325
That's what the golf world means.
1160
00:49:29,539 --> 00:49:30,900
Well, course breakdown.
1161
00:49:30,900 --> 00:49:33,140
What makes Oakmont so difficult?
1162
00:49:33,219 --> 00:49:35,219
And what's so here's the question, right?
1163
00:49:35,380 --> 00:49:40,099
The difficulty, the rough, the church pew
bunkers, the lightning-fast greens.
1164
00:49:40,099 --> 00:49:40,420
Mhmm.
1165
00:49:40,420 --> 00:49:43,619
Which aspect is the toughest out there at
Oakmont?
1166
00:49:44,255 --> 00:49:45,695
Brent, you start us off.
1167
00:49:45,695 --> 00:49:47,295
Well, I mean, it's gotta be the rough.
1168
00:49:47,295 --> 00:49:53,295
I mean, the fact that, like we said, even if
they chop it to three and a half inches, okay,
1169
00:49:53,614 --> 00:49:55,054
that's the ball is still going straight.
1170
00:49:55,054 --> 00:50:00,579
In fact, actually, if they chop it, it's gonna
make it even harder because that just makes it
1171
00:50:00,579 --> 00:50:01,699
super duper thick.
1172
00:50:06,019 --> 00:50:06,980
Which one is it?
1173
00:50:06,980 --> 00:50:07,539
You got
1174
00:50:07,539 --> 00:50:08,500
three to pick from.
1175
00:50:08,500 --> 00:50:09,139
It's bogey.
1176
00:50:09,139 --> 00:50:09,860
It's rough.
1177
00:50:09,940 --> 00:50:10,739
Okay.
1178
00:50:10,739 --> 00:50:11,859
Buttsy, what about you, man?
1179
00:50:12,035 --> 00:50:18,114
Well, just getting back to the Hero, if that
course if they could grow grass like that on an
1180
00:50:18,114 --> 00:50:20,355
island, then it's like game over.
1181
00:50:20,755 --> 00:50:23,635
It's a winning score in the plus 30 to 40
range.
1182
00:50:23,635 --> 00:50:24,755
So we'll get that out of the way.
1183
00:50:24,755 --> 00:50:30,369
But, yeah, it's gotta be the rough and just
what that's going to do to you mentally when
1184
00:50:30,369 --> 00:50:33,809
you're standing on the box, it's a par 4 that's
500 yards.
1185
00:50:33,809 --> 00:50:38,049
And, yeah, you have to absolutely bang the shit
out of one.
1186
00:50:38,049 --> 00:50:44,855
And, god, if you see that thing flying a foot
offline, there's a bogey or worse.
1187
00:50:45,174 --> 00:50:47,174
So that'd probably wear you out.
1188
00:50:47,174 --> 00:50:47,734
Yeah.
1189
00:50:47,894 --> 00:50:55,280
I mean, it's pretty, I feel like, obvious that
it is the rough, but, you know, the greens, you
1190
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:56,320
know, it's the rough.
1191
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,559
Let's just be honest about rough.
1192
00:50:58,559 --> 00:50:59,360
It's the rough.
1193
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,039
It's not the church pew bunkers.
1194
00:51:01,039 --> 00:51:02,880
Like, yeah, those are deadly at times.
1195
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,320
Those can be a blow-up.
1196
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:09,385
Like, you can end up with a triple bogey real
fast if you get caught up in one of those.
1197
00:51:09,385 --> 00:51:18,184
So there's some it's just gonna it's gonna be a
beast of a week
1198
00:51:18,505 --> 00:51:18,905
next week.
1199
00:51:18,905 --> 00:51:19,625
Beast.
1200
00:51:19,625 --> 00:51:20,264
Yep.
1201
00:51:20,264 --> 00:51:20,664
Yep.
1202
00:51:21,500 --> 00:51:27,099
We're not even going to get into the RBC
Heritage up in Canada this week.
1203
00:51:27,739 --> 00:51:31,500
If you're interested in that, you can go watch
1204
00:51:31,500 --> 00:51:32,460
something else.
1205
00:51:32,539 --> 00:51:33,179
Yep.
1206
00:51:33,900 --> 00:51:40,675
Because we're still on the good old US or,
yeah, US Open.
1207
00:51:40,994 --> 00:51:44,835
But I did want to talk about LIV Golf just for
a second again.
1208
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:48,594
So neither of you, so Brooks Koepka was the
only name that really came up.
1209
00:51:48,594 --> 00:51:53,699
Joaquín Niemann, Buttsy, you threw that out
there just to get some material out there.
1210
00:51:53,699 --> 00:51:54,019
Yeah.
1211
00:51:54,019 --> 00:51:56,980
Anybody else that you guys think from the LIV
Golf side?
1212
00:51:56,980 --> 00:52:00,900
I think Patrick Reed played well in the
Masters.
1213
00:52:00,900 --> 00:52:05,724
Obviously, the golf course suits him, but we
don't really hear about him much.
1214
00:52:05,724 --> 00:52:14,445
And it would be interesting to see if the
cheater guy can, you know, putt his way around
1215
00:52:14,445 --> 00:52:16,125
that place and put up a spike on
1216
00:52:16,125 --> 00:52:16,605
the baseball.
1217
00:52:16,765 --> 00:52:18,230
And Jon Rahm is the only two that have
1218
00:52:18,309 --> 00:52:20,550
I don't think Jon even has a stands a chance.
1219
00:52:20,550 --> 00:52:20,789
Bryson is
1220
00:52:20,869 --> 00:52:21,670
I think Jon does.
1221
00:52:21,670 --> 00:52:23,190
Sure, but yeah.
1222
00:52:23,190 --> 00:52:28,230
I think Jon got a taste for it at the PGA
Championship, and that's something that you
1223
00:52:28,230 --> 00:52:32,144
need to have those nerves going on again under
pressure.
1224
00:52:32,144 --> 00:52:32,784
Yeah.
1225
00:52:33,505 --> 00:52:37,025
US Open's a whole other thing and
1226
00:52:37,025 --> 00:52:37,664
not at Torrey.
1227
00:52:37,664 --> 00:52:41,505
By the way, some practice round chaos so forth
coming out of Oakmont.
1228
00:52:41,505 --> 00:52:47,880
Apparently, Adam Scott shot three over after
hitting every fairway on the front nine.
1229
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:49,000
Okay?
1230
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:56,920
Rory McIlroy tripled the second hole and
bogeyed the 280-yard par-3 eighth hole after
1231
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:58,039
hitting a 3-wood.
1232
00:52:58,039 --> 00:52:59,639
This is Rory McIlroy.
1233
00:52:59,639 --> 00:52:59,880
Yep.
1234
00:52:59,985 --> 00:53:02,864
Had to hit a 3-wood on the par-3.
1235
00:53:02,864 --> 00:53:05,265
I mean, this course is no joke.
1236
00:53:05,505 --> 00:53:06,224
That is for sure.
1237
00:53:06,385 --> 00:53:07,665
That tee once.
1238
00:53:09,184 --> 00:53:10,465
That's just it's a beast of
1239
00:53:10,465 --> 00:53:11,025
a hole.
1240
00:53:11,025 --> 00:53:16,010
The reason the reason why I said what I said
earlier about what what certain pros did at LA
1241
00:53:16,010 --> 00:53:23,530
Country Club is because these guys were playing
and we know that they played because they're
1242
00:53:23,530 --> 00:53:27,385
going out there to be like, you need to change
this, you need to change that.
1243
00:53:27,385 --> 00:53:32,025
And there's kind of this back and forth that
happens to where guys just flat out say, it's
1244
00:53:32,025 --> 00:53:36,344
like, listen, we're gonna just do this if you
don't make this change.
1245
00:53:37,065 --> 00:53:42,299
For example, on 18 at LA Country Club, because
they decided to bring the rough all the way in
1246
00:53:42,299 --> 00:53:46,460
from the left, guys just said, Well, we'll ship
it down number one if you don't widen this
1247
00:53:46,460 --> 00:53:47,179
fairway.
1248
00:53:47,179 --> 00:53:51,739
And then, of course, that's what they did and
made 18 just a pretty much nothing hole to
1249
00:53:51,739 --> 00:53:52,460
begin with.
1250
00:53:52,460 --> 00:53:58,094
So it was unfortunate, but hopefully, they
don't make too many changes to Oakmont because
1251
00:53:58,094 --> 00:54:02,494
it is, as you said, one of the most pure, if
not the purest US Open.
1252
00:54:02,494 --> 00:54:02,815
Yeah.
1253
00:54:02,815 --> 00:54:05,295
I think it's the purest test of golf.
1254
00:54:05,989 --> 00:54:09,429
DarkSide d says, Ram flames out lately.
1255
00:54:09,909 --> 00:54:15,269
Olympics is what he points to and also Quail
Hollow, and I I mean, there's no disagreement
1256
00:54:15,269 --> 00:54:15,670
there.
1257
00:54:15,670 --> 00:54:23,014
I mean, it's and when he won for the first time
on Liv and he beat Tyrrell Hatton, his own
1258
00:54:23,014 --> 00:54:26,135
teammate, he almost choked that one in.
1259
00:54:26,135 --> 00:54:30,295
Like, you could see the nerves in real time
during that tournament.
1260
00:54:30,295 --> 00:54:35,255
So, yeah, I think he's got some issues with
some nerves ever since he went over to LIV for
1261
00:54:35,255 --> 00:54:35,894
whatever reason.
1262
00:54:36,179 --> 00:54:39,780
I don't think it's a LIV thing, but I do think
that he's got some nerves that he's dealing
1263
00:54:39,780 --> 00:54:40,260
with.
1264
00:54:40,339 --> 00:54:44,980
Maybe it's when you kind of falter a little
bit, like you've been at the pinnacle, you've
1265
00:54:44,980 --> 00:54:51,224
been at the highest level playing your best
golf and you kind of peak and then all of a
1266
00:54:51,224 --> 00:54:56,424
sudden you have that downturn, getting back to
that peak level, that's a tough thing to do.
1267
00:54:56,424 --> 00:54:59,864
KartBarnGuys wants to know how's the blue check
feel?
1268
00:55:00,105 --> 00:55:02,025
So I don't know what you're referring to.
1269
00:55:02,025 --> 00:55:03,625
On Instagram, we finally got it.
1270
00:55:03,625 --> 00:55:04,984
So that was a long time coming.
1271
00:55:05,690 --> 00:55:06,170
Oh, yeah.
1272
00:55:06,170 --> 00:55:08,970
We finally got the blue check mark on
Instagram.
1273
00:55:08,970 --> 00:55:15,130
They would never they wouldn't even let me pay
for the longest time because it wasn't in my
1274
00:55:15,130 --> 00:55:18,010
name, and that was the only way they were going
to verify.
1275
00:55:18,010 --> 00:55:18,170
So.
1276
00:55:18,465 --> 00:55:21,505
Yeah, think that's what you're referring to.
1277
00:55:22,065 --> 00:55:22,945
It's a big deal.
1278
00:55:22,945 --> 00:55:25,505
We believe in the blue check mark.
1279
00:55:26,224 --> 00:55:30,865
Big blue check mark, guys, this Okay, let's
move it on.
1280
00:55:31,265 --> 00:55:38,519
So obviously the next question, which is pretty
obvious after hearing about these practice
1281
00:55:38,519 --> 00:55:42,199
rounds, Buttsy, will we have an over-par winner
this year?
1282
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:43,000
Yeah.
1283
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,519
I don't know, man.
1284
00:55:44,519 --> 00:55:46,199
I I don't think so.
1285
00:55:46,199 --> 00:55:49,480
You already referred to Scottie Scheffler
winning at three or four under.
1286
00:55:49,514 --> 00:55:51,194
I think your answer is probably no.
1287
00:55:51,194 --> 00:55:55,034
I think he's gonna find a way to somehow be
under par by the end of it.
1288
00:55:55,034 --> 00:55:59,994
And, I think there might be him and maybe one
other guy.
1289
00:56:00,154 --> 00:56:00,394
Right.
1290
00:56:00,394 --> 00:56:01,194
What about you, man?
1291
00:56:01,194 --> 00:56:01,914
What are you thinking?
1292
00:56:03,090 --> 00:56:04,130
Over par?
1293
00:56:04,450 --> 00:56:05,329
Two over.
1294
00:56:05,809 --> 00:56:06,930
Two over.
1295
00:56:07,090 --> 00:56:08,849
Oh, you think so?
1296
00:56:08,849 --> 00:56:16,369
I think the fact that you—and you said it,
Matt—the fact that you gotta be able to
1297
00:56:16,369 --> 00:56:21,385
withstand some torture out there, which means
you've got to cut off a limb or two to be able
1298
00:56:21,385 --> 00:56:22,184
to survive.
1299
00:56:23,545 --> 00:56:26,905
That doesn't happen just on one day.
1300
00:56:28,025 --> 00:56:32,200
That's a decision that those guys have to make
every other hole in some cases.
1301
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:38,520
So depending on how you hit it off the tee,
Justin Rose would be a phenomenal dark horse.
1302
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:46,405
I don't think he hits it well enough off the
tee, nor does he hit high enough with his long
1303
00:56:46,405 --> 00:56:48,644
irons, but we'll see.
1304
00:56:48,644 --> 00:56:55,764
So I got a random thought based off of as you
were talking about—well, I will tell you,
1305
00:56:55,764 --> 00:57:02,519
Scottie Scheffler to me as I'm thinking about
this, Scottie's dealt with some, like, he's got
1306
00:57:02,519 --> 00:57:03,880
a little bit of a temper.
1307
00:57:04,119 --> 00:57:06,039
Like, he gets frustrated out there.
1308
00:57:06,039 --> 00:57:06,359
Yeah.
1309
00:57:06,359 --> 00:57:06,679
Yeah.
1310
00:57:06,679 --> 00:57:08,440
And he's not the easiest bag.
1311
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:13,319
Like, early on, we had his caddie on before he
went to Ted Scott, and he was reluctant, but
1312
00:57:13,319 --> 00:57:16,494
ended up getting into it that Scottie Scheffler
is a really tough bag.
1313
00:57:16,494 --> 00:57:19,454
Now, obviously him and Ted Scott have this
great dynamic.
1314
00:57:19,614 --> 00:57:21,535
I think Scottie's matured a bit.
1315
00:57:21,775 --> 00:57:24,094
As we know, like we did, we've talked about it.
1316
00:57:24,094 --> 00:57:28,095
We're like, we don't know what Scottie
Scheffler does for mental preparation.
1317
00:57:28,494 --> 00:57:31,539
Like, is he actually practicing breath work?
1318
00:57:31,539 --> 00:57:38,900
Is he actually, like, doing any type of mental,
like, work on his game?
1319
00:57:39,219 --> 00:57:46,355
And we kind of all said, and I believe it was
Buttsy who said this, is that it's God who he
1320
00:57:46,675 --> 00:57:47,474
trains.
1321
00:57:47,635 --> 00:57:52,434
And that is certainly, it's helpful.
1322
00:57:52,914 --> 00:57:56,355
There's other ways of going about mental
preparation without necessarily knowing it.
1323
00:57:56,599 --> 00:58:03,320
Like preparation, like literally going through
a routine over and over and over again and
1324
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:08,119
relying on that routine because it takes your
mind off of the situation at hand and allows
1325
00:58:08,119 --> 00:58:11,595
you or your subconscious to actually do the
action.
1326
00:58:11,675 --> 00:58:15,994
But I just wonder with Scottie Scheffler,
that's why I'm not sure about him at Oakmont.
1327
00:58:15,994 --> 00:58:22,235
I wonder how he's going to do when there's a
lot of struggle throughout and has to lose a
1328
00:58:22,235 --> 00:58:25,380
limb here and there out there on the golf
course.
1329
00:58:25,940 --> 00:58:26,500
So
1330
00:58:27,460 --> 00:58:27,780
Yeah.
1331
00:58:27,780 --> 00:58:37,105
I mean, I think what makes Scottie different is
that while he is hypercompetitive, there's no
1332
00:58:37,105 --> 00:58:39,744
doubt about that, that's kind of where that
fire comes from.
1333
00:58:39,825 --> 00:58:40,385
Mhmm.
1334
00:58:40,864 --> 00:58:48,465
The reason why he consistently just walks away
with these tournaments is because his, as he
1335
00:58:48,465 --> 00:58:50,144
said, his victory is already secured.
1336
00:58:50,579 --> 00:58:54,900
It's not he's not walking out there going, if I
don't win this golf tournament or if this goes
1337
00:58:54,900 --> 00:58:55,940
out this way.
1338
00:58:55,940 --> 00:59:04,414
He doesn't he's committed and disciplined to
his faith, and it makes a difference such that
1339
00:59:04,414 --> 00:59:09,215
his entire identity and being centers around
that.
1340
00:59:09,855 --> 00:59:16,494
And he just lets his competitive and skillful
nature come out on the golf course.
1341
00:59:16,494 --> 00:59:18,175
I mean, look at how unorthodox he is.
1342
00:59:18,175 --> 00:59:23,750
He's probably one of the most, if not the most
unorthodox number one golfer there has ever
1343
00:59:23,750 --> 00:59:24,309
been.
1344
00:59:24,309 --> 00:59:30,470
I love the Nike ad that had him in his finish
with his feet together and kinda, like, off to
1345
00:59:30,470 --> 00:59:30,789
the side.
1346
00:59:31,375 --> 00:59:33,855
I mean, that was awesome too.
1347
00:59:33,855 --> 00:59:36,094
I mean, it's incredible.
1348
00:59:36,094 --> 00:59:42,974
I think it's a testament to what it means to be
serving something larger than yourself.
1349
00:59:42,974 --> 00:59:43,855
I'm with you there.
1350
00:59:43,855 --> 00:59:44,575
I think so.
1351
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:46,760
Well, that's different for everybody.
1352
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,599
I mean, you gotta do your own thing, right?
1353
00:59:48,599 --> 00:59:48,840
So
1354
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:54,599
But I would again, I think Scottie Scheffler
gets to even another level.
1355
00:59:54,679 --> 00:59:57,480
And all of a sudden, he is
1356
00:59:58,039 --> 01:00:02,984
I don't know if there's much—I don't know if
there is another level, man.
1357
01:00:02,984 --> 01:00:03,704
I mean, because if
1358
01:00:03,704 --> 01:00:04,824
he—I just think it's mental.
1359
01:00:04,824 --> 01:00:10,984
He can get to one more level mentally because I
still see that with under pressure.
1360
01:00:10,984 --> 01:00:12,344
He struggles a little bit.
1361
01:00:13,780 --> 01:00:18,260
And it's funny because on the broadcast,
they're talking about how much of a closer he
1362
01:00:18,260 --> 01:00:19,219
is and everything.
1363
01:00:19,219 --> 01:00:25,914
And he is when he is in those moments, but when
it comes down to one putt in order to win
1364
01:00:25,914 --> 01:00:30,474
something, like we've seen it time and time
again that he struggles under those pressure
1365
01:00:30,474 --> 01:00:31,114
situations.
1366
01:00:31,114 --> 01:00:38,319
So that to me is the mental side that Scottie
Scheffler can—if he put purpose to working on
1367
01:00:38,319 --> 01:00:45,920
his mental game—not just, you know, having
belief in something else beyond himself and
1368
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,199
trusting in that, certainly, I think that
helps.
1369
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:55,425
But if he actually put attention, focus, and
purpose to that, I think that could be big.
1370
01:00:55,425 --> 01:00:56,625
That's where I'm at with that.
1371
01:00:56,625 --> 01:00:59,744
I'm trying to look up because I was saying that
I was kind of multitasking.
1372
01:00:59,744 --> 01:01:02,144
I was trying to look up the Nike ad.
1373
01:01:02,224 --> 01:01:02,864
It's real good.
1374
01:01:04,650 --> 01:01:04,969
Gosh.
1375
01:01:04,969 --> 01:01:07,049
I wish I could pull it up on the screen right
now.
1376
01:01:07,049 --> 01:01:07,769
I can't.
1377
01:01:08,010 --> 01:01:12,250
But it just says best player in the world
question mark, and then it says guilty
1378
01:01:12,250 --> 01:01:14,250
underneath with a period next to it.
1379
01:01:14,569 --> 01:01:15,369
Oh god.
1380
01:01:15,369 --> 01:01:20,434
And it's Scottie Scheffler in his finished
driver position, with his legs crossed.
1381
01:01:20,434 --> 01:01:21,715
It's so ridiculous.
1382
01:01:21,715 --> 01:01:22,914
It's so ridiculous.
1383
01:01:22,914 --> 01:01:24,355
It's so good, though.
1384
01:01:24,515 --> 01:01:26,595
I absolutely love that.
1385
01:01:27,715 --> 01:01:35,420
Now, as we get back to this, let's go over
early betting odds right now over at FanDuel
1386
01:01:35,420 --> 01:01:36,380
Sportsbook.
1387
01:01:36,779 --> 01:01:38,460
Scottie Scheffler's plus 280.
1388
01:01:38,460 --> 01:01:38,859
So obviously.
1389
01:01:38,940 --> 01:01:39,500
Seriously.
1390
01:01:39,819 --> 01:01:40,779
Yeah, dude.
1391
01:01:40,779 --> 01:01:43,500
But this is not as crazy as the Memorial was
1392
01:01:43,500 --> 01:01:45,339
because only by 30 points.
1393
01:01:45,339 --> 01:01:48,299
Next best odds were plus 1,600 for the
Memorial.
1394
01:01:48,299 --> 01:01:52,945
Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy are plus
750.
1395
01:01:52,945 --> 01:01:55,265
So odds are low for those three.
1396
01:01:55,344 --> 01:02:01,505
Then you got Jon Rahm at plus 1,200, Xander
Schauffele at plus 2,000, Ludvig Aberg at
1397
01:02:01,505 --> 01:02:07,059
2,600, Collin Morikawa plus 2,700, Patrick
Cantlay, Tommy Fleetwood.
1398
01:02:07,140 --> 01:02:10,019
Those guys are interesting to me at plus 3,100.
1399
01:02:10,180 --> 01:02:14,579
I just don't see either of them being like,
this is not their week in my opinion.
1400
01:02:14,579 --> 01:02:18,905
Now I've said that about Xander Schauffele in
the past, and then he won the PGA Championship.
1401
01:02:18,905 --> 01:02:24,824
So I'm just gonna shut my mouth when it comes
to that because there's something about when I
1402
01:02:24,824 --> 01:02:25,704
say that.
1403
01:02:25,945 --> 01:02:26,265
Yeah.
1404
01:02:26,344 --> 01:02:28,744
That guys just happen to play great.
1405
01:02:28,744 --> 01:02:29,065
Yeah.
1406
01:02:29,065 --> 01:02:30,824
It's a weird thing, isn't it?
1407
01:02:30,824 --> 01:02:37,340
Like, when you see what's been going on with
these top players, guys that have won majors,
1408
01:02:37,820 --> 01:02:41,019
and then all of a sudden, they just sort of
stop.
1409
01:02:42,300 --> 01:02:46,394
And in some cases, just stop competing at the
same level.
1410
01:02:46,635 --> 01:02:50,795
And then the guy that was won nine times just
kinda keeps going.
1411
01:02:50,875 --> 01:02:55,035
I also love too that last week you were just
shitting on Patrick Cantlay.
1412
01:02:55,035 --> 01:02:57,035
Once again, gets another top 10.
1413
01:02:57,914 --> 01:03:02,880
Just not not a top player as that's that one's
gonna live with you for a while.
1414
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:04,000
In the world.
1415
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:06,960
Hasn't won in how many years?
1416
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:08,079
I know.
1417
01:03:08,079 --> 01:03:09,519
Let's get back to the odds real quick.
1418
01:03:09,519 --> 01:03:11,359
Justin Thomas at plus 3,400.
1419
01:03:11,359 --> 01:03:13,039
Shane Lowry plus 3,800.
1420
01:03:13,039 --> 01:03:14,480
Sepp Straka plus 4,000.
1421
01:03:14,885 --> 01:03:17,045
Joaquin Niemann plus 4,100.
1422
01:03:17,204 --> 01:03:19,684
Viktor Hovland, Jordan Spieth plus 4,200.
1423
01:03:19,764 --> 01:03:26,244
Sungjae Im, Tyrrell Hatton, don't call him
Tyrell, Sam Burns, Justin Rose, Adam Scott,
1424
01:03:26,244 --> 01:03:30,340
Tony Finau, Cam Smith, Brooks Koepka all at
plus 5,000.
1425
01:03:30,420 --> 01:03:33,140
You got Russell Henley at plus 5,500.
1426
01:03:33,460 --> 01:03:36,019
Matt Fitzpatrick, don't call him Matthew.
1427
01:03:36,019 --> 01:03:41,699
Hideki Matsuyama at plus 6,000.
1428
01:03:42,344 --> 01:03:46,905
Corey Conners, Jason Day, Wyndham Clark, Ben
Griffin at plus 6,500.
1429
01:03:46,984 --> 01:03:48,824
So, Buttsy, I'm gonna start with you, man.
1430
01:03:48,824 --> 01:03:50,505
Who you got winning this damn thing?
1431
01:03:50,505 --> 01:03:51,385
Scotty.
1432
01:03:51,945 --> 01:03:52,824
And the chef.
1433
01:03:52,824 --> 01:03:53,144
Yeah.
1434
01:03:53,144 --> 01:03:54,105
It's yeah.
1435
01:03:54,105 --> 01:03:55,224
It's Scottie Scheffler.
1436
01:03:55,224 --> 01:04:02,159
I mean, you guys said a lot, but I don't I
think it comes down to just you've proved to
1437
01:04:02,159 --> 01:04:05,039
yourself that you're the fucking guy, and
you're the guy.
1438
01:04:06,239 --> 01:04:08,719
I don't think God gives a damn if you're
winning golf tournaments.
1439
01:04:08,775 --> 01:04:09,894
I really don't.
1440
01:04:10,614 --> 01:04:14,934
If that was the case, I think Tiger Woods would
have been looking at the sky his entire career,
1441
01:04:14,934 --> 01:04:16,375
and I don't think he did any of that.
1442
01:04:17,734 --> 01:04:20,054
So I think it's very simple math.
1443
01:04:20,054 --> 01:04:21,734
He just knows he's the fucking guy.
1444
01:04:21,734 --> 01:04:23,974
He's ahead of everybody else in all categories.
1445
01:04:23,974 --> 01:04:27,849
And having that kind of confidence, I think
he's just gonna continue to ride that until it
1446
01:04:27,849 --> 01:04:28,490
don't work.
1447
01:04:28,490 --> 01:04:34,010
Scheffler, you said Justin Thomas, though, and
I don't know that I hate that.
1448
01:04:34,010 --> 01:04:34,890
It's kind of a
1449
01:04:35,289 --> 01:04:36,650
Hard to bet against a guy.
1450
01:04:36,650 --> 01:04:37,289
I mean, come on.
1451
01:04:38,434 --> 01:04:40,114
It's not a dark horse, really.
1452
01:04:40,355 --> 01:04:40,594
Right?
1453
01:04:40,594 --> 01:04:44,835
I don't know if it's a dark horse, but the
other one is Ben Griffin.
1454
01:04:45,074 --> 01:04:48,195
He's got, like, an insane amount of confidence
right now.
1455
01:04:48,195 --> 01:04:48,355
So
1456
01:04:48,594 --> 01:04:49,074
Yeah.
1457
01:04:49,074 --> 01:04:50,434
He's a probably great call.
1458
01:04:50,514 --> 01:04:52,755
Expect to see him play pretty well.
1459
01:04:52,755 --> 01:04:57,809
But, yeah, it's gonna be somebody that puts it
in play and somebody that makes a lot of putts.
1460
01:04:57,809 --> 01:04:59,410
Kind of the same old story.
1461
01:04:59,889 --> 01:05:01,329
Brent, what about you, man?
1462
01:05:01,329 --> 01:05:03,010
Who you got this week?
1463
01:05:03,409 --> 01:05:03,809
Or not.
1464
01:05:03,889 --> 01:05:04,449
I'm sorry.
1465
01:05:04,449 --> 01:05:08,845
I keep saying this week because normally we do
this the week of, but I wanted to get a week
1466
01:05:08,845 --> 01:05:10,285
ahead with the U.S.
1467
01:05:10,285 --> 01:05:11,724
Open preview show.
1468
01:05:11,724 --> 01:05:13,645
Obviously, it's hard to bet against Scottie.
1469
01:05:15,325 --> 01:05:15,805
It is.
1470
01:05:15,805 --> 01:05:16,204
It
1471
01:05:16,845 --> 01:05:17,805
he's listen.
1472
01:05:17,805 --> 01:05:19,885
I, you know, I think
1473
01:05:21,510 --> 01:05:23,430
This is like you with the LAB putter.
1474
01:05:23,829 --> 01:05:26,390
You know, you gave me so much for the LAB
putter,
1475
01:05:26,390 --> 01:05:27,030
and then all of a sudden
1476
01:05:27,030 --> 01:05:28,789
you came all the way around.
1477
01:05:28,869 --> 01:05:29,269
Yeah.
1478
01:05:29,269 --> 01:05:29,670
Yeah.
1479
01:05:29,670 --> 01:05:30,070
I mean, I
1480
01:05:30,309 --> 01:05:33,829
By the way, folks, Brent Grant uses a LAB golf
putter.
1481
01:05:33,829 --> 01:05:34,469
Absolutely.
1482
01:05:34,469 --> 01:05:35,750
And I recommend it now.
1483
01:05:36,375 --> 01:05:42,454
But, like I said, I think it's really gonna be
somebody like a Ludvig.
1484
01:05:42,454 --> 01:05:50,454
I'm gonna wait to see some things going into
next week's pod before I make an absolute pick.
1485
01:05:50,750 --> 01:05:51,230
Well, this
1486
01:05:51,230 --> 01:05:52,670
is just your pre-show pick.
1487
01:05:52,670 --> 01:05:54,109
You can change it by next week.
1488
01:05:54,109 --> 01:05:57,309
I think it's somebody like Ludvig.
1489
01:05:57,309 --> 01:05:59,710
Maybe even a Viktor Hovland might show up.
1490
01:05:59,710 --> 01:06:08,594
Maybe somebody of that strength and ability to
hit their long irons high and soft.
1491
01:06:08,835 --> 01:06:11,795
Rory is obviously up there as well.
1492
01:06:11,875 --> 01:06:12,114
So
1493
01:06:12,355 --> 01:06:16,755
This one in my mind, this fits Rory very well,
but I don't think.
1494
01:06:17,219 --> 01:06:19,539
I really don't think since he won the Masters.
1495
01:06:19,539 --> 01:06:25,219
I kinda have this theory on him that I kinda
wanna see play out that I just don't think he's
1496
01:06:25,219 --> 01:06:26,179
that interested.
1497
01:06:26,340 --> 01:06:29,380
And he's just gonna kinda coast for the rest of
the year.
1498
01:06:29,380 --> 01:06:34,925
Maybe there might be something that gets him
going like the Ryder Cup, but I really just
1499
01:06:34,925 --> 01:06:38,365
don't see it for Rory this week or sorry, next
week.
1500
01:06:38,605 --> 01:06:41,965
And Bryson is an interesting one.
1501
01:06:42,605 --> 01:06:47,769
I don't think he is accurate enough for
Oakmont, especially with his irons.
1502
01:06:48,570 --> 01:06:51,609
So he was complaining at the Masters about the
golf ball.
1503
01:06:51,609 --> 01:06:53,609
Now somebody needs to make him a golf ball.
1504
01:06:53,609 --> 01:06:56,409
That's the only chance that he's gonna have at
Oakmont.
1505
01:06:57,849 --> 01:06:58,889
It's still funny.
1506
01:07:01,505 --> 01:07:02,545
God, man.
1507
01:07:02,864 --> 01:07:06,065
It would be cool to see a Rory-Scheffler
showdown.
1508
01:07:06,065 --> 01:07:07,184
I don't know if we've seen that.
1509
01:07:07,184 --> 01:07:07,505
Like
1510
01:07:08,144 --> 01:07:09,344
That would be cool.
1511
01:07:09,344 --> 01:07:12,144
It would be cool to have Bryson up there, have
Rahm
1512
01:07:12,144 --> 01:07:12,545
up there.
1513
01:07:12,545 --> 01:07:19,110
A real showdown, really at all aside from
Rory's just absolute in in Rory and Bryson.
1514
01:07:19,110 --> 01:07:19,750
Play.
1515
01:07:20,150 --> 01:07:21,910
I mean, that was last year's U.S.
1516
01:07:21,910 --> 01:07:25,910
Open, but I would love to see not only just two
guys going at it.
1517
01:07:25,910 --> 01:07:28,594
I'd love to see, like, four of the top guys
1518
01:07:28,914 --> 01:07:29,074
Yeah.
1519
01:07:29,074 --> 01:07:30,434
We wanted that up to J.
1520
01:07:30,434 --> 01:07:30,914
Too.
1521
01:07:30,914 --> 01:07:35,155
I I think what makes, what makes this U.S.
1522
01:07:35,155 --> 01:07:44,510
Open different than any other golf tournament,
is that it really is going to come down to who
1523
01:07:44,510 --> 01:07:46,910
can hit it the straightest off the tee.
1524
01:07:47,390 --> 01:07:51,150
And it's a it's a lot different than Pinehurst.
1525
01:07:51,150 --> 01:08:00,675
I think we can all agree that if Bryson gets a
bad lie one time when he missed the fairway,
1526
01:08:01,635 --> 01:08:02,434
it's donezo.
1527
01:08:02,434 --> 01:08:04,994
But we'll see.
1528
01:08:05,394 --> 01:08:10,769
I have a hard time saying Rory because I just I
still believe that he's resting on his laurels.
1529
01:08:10,769 --> 01:08:12,210
So I've
1530
01:08:12,369 --> 01:08:13,889
I personally about that.
1531
01:08:13,969 --> 01:08:14,289
Yeah.
1532
01:08:14,289 --> 01:08:20,289
But he's he's the best he's probably the best
driver, and definitely one of the best with his
1533
01:08:20,289 --> 01:08:21,090
long irons.
1534
01:08:21,090 --> 01:08:22,770
So it's really tough to
1535
01:08:23,055 --> 01:08:24,574
So who are you going with?
1536
01:08:24,654 --> 01:08:26,975
One of those three or four people that I that
1537
01:08:26,975 --> 01:08:27,295
I Well,
1538
01:08:27,295 --> 01:08:28,414
just say one of them.
1539
01:08:28,654 --> 01:08:30,255
I wanna see Ludvig get it done.
1540
01:08:30,255 --> 01:08:32,094
I I think it really I think it would really You
1541
01:08:32,094 --> 01:08:34,094
were high on him earlier in this podcast too.
1542
01:08:34,094 --> 01:08:40,789
So I I think that's a smart move to stay strong
with Ludvig because I think with how straight
1543
01:08:40,789 --> 01:08:45,109
he hits the golf ball and how accurate he is
with the driver and he's long, that he's got a
1544
01:08:45,109 --> 01:08:46,949
really good shot this week.
1545
01:08:46,949 --> 01:08:48,869
That's why I put him in that mix.
1546
01:08:49,189 --> 01:08:51,829
But I want to see Scottie Scheffler.
1547
01:08:52,954 --> 01:08:57,274
And I do think that once again, Scottie
Scheffler will prevail.
1548
01:08:57,274 --> 01:09:07,819
But I wanna see him in trouble early Thursday
or Friday and not lose his cool, not and to see
1549
01:09:07,819 --> 01:09:11,979
him rebound and have a really good stretch of
holes after that.
1550
01:09:11,979 --> 01:09:16,139
So potentially a triple bogey could come up on
a Thursday.
1551
01:09:16,380 --> 01:09:18,460
And I want to see how he handles that.
1552
01:09:19,015 --> 01:09:20,854
Justin Thomas at Oakmont.
1553
01:09:20,854 --> 01:09:21,335
Mhmm.
1554
01:09:21,335 --> 01:09:23,494
I love Justin Thomas at Oakmont.
1555
01:09:23,494 --> 01:09:29,014
I think Oakmont is one of those golf courses
where Justin Thomas can be himself out there,
1556
01:09:29,335 --> 01:09:31,734
where he can show off his skill set.
1557
01:09:31,814 --> 01:09:34,215
And I think he knows how precise he's gotta be.
1558
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,520
So we'll see with Justin Thomas.
1559
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:39,000
He's on the list of guys that I think can
compete.
1560
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,519
But, again, if I go back to that list, there's
what?
1561
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,479
One, two, three, four, five, six.
1562
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:46,760
There's eight guys in total.
1563
01:09:47,164 --> 01:09:51,404
Six guys from the PGA Tour that I think can win
and then two guys from LIV Golf.
1564
01:09:51,404 --> 01:09:57,324
But I will say that Sepp Straka as well as Ben
Griffin are kinda dark horses in my opinion.
1565
01:09:57,324 --> 01:09:59,965
They're not necessarily from an odds
perspective.
1566
01:10:00,284 --> 01:10:06,829
And then my two dark horses for next week are
gonna be Dustin Johnson, which Carbon guys
1567
01:10:06,829 --> 01:10:07,710
threw out there.
1568
01:10:07,710 --> 01:10:11,469
Kyle said it just because he won there
previously.
1569
01:10:11,470 --> 01:10:15,149
And, you know, you can't really count out
Dustin Johnson.
1570
01:10:15,149 --> 01:10:18,054
He doesn't get too emotional out there.
1571
01:10:18,375 --> 01:10:23,175
So he might be one of those guys that if it's
an over-par score that wins.
1572
01:10:24,054 --> 01:10:24,375
Mhmm.
1573
01:10:24,454 --> 01:10:27,094
He could potentially get that done.
1574
01:10:27,094 --> 01:10:31,850
Then you've got Bud Cauley, who is a grinder.
1575
01:10:32,090 --> 01:10:33,529
Absolute grinder.
1576
01:10:33,530 --> 01:10:35,210
Hits it nowhere.
1577
01:10:35,449 --> 01:10:36,409
Doesn't matter.
1578
01:10:37,449 --> 01:10:38,329
Doesn't matter.
1579
01:10:38,569 --> 01:10:39,210
This is the one
1580
01:10:39,289 --> 01:10:39,850
with that.
1581
01:10:39,850 --> 01:10:40,729
This is the yeah.
1582
01:10:40,729 --> 01:10:41,770
I mean, I would love to see
1583
01:10:42,329 --> 01:10:44,170
Dustin's plus 15,000.
1584
01:10:44,170 --> 01:10:45,609
Bud Cauley's plus 21,000.
1585
01:10:45,795 --> 01:10:47,074
They're dark horses, bud.
1586
01:10:47,074 --> 01:10:48,835
They're dark about Justin Rose?
1587
01:10:51,074 --> 01:10:52,755
Rose could be a dark horse, but he no.
1588
01:10:52,914 --> 01:10:56,034
There's nobody that grinds harder than that
guy.
1589
01:10:56,034 --> 01:10:57,234
He will not be out-ground.
1590
01:10:58,510 --> 01:10:59,149
No.
1591
01:10:59,389 --> 01:11:04,989
Like and by the way, Track Golfer, I think I
saw from you, he asked, can an amateur win
1592
01:11:04,989 --> 01:11:05,469
this?
1593
01:11:05,550 --> 01:11:06,109
No.
1594
01:11:06,590 --> 01:11:07,229
No.
1595
01:11:07,229 --> 01:11:08,109
Absolutely.
1596
01:11:08,270 --> 01:11:09,149
Not happening.
1597
01:11:09,229 --> 01:11:10,429
A % it can happen.
1598
01:11:10,994 --> 01:11:11,715
No chance?
1599
01:11:11,715 --> 01:11:15,795
We're not gonna see an amateur in the top 10
this week.
1600
01:11:17,555 --> 01:11:18,435
Mark my words.
1601
01:11:18,675 --> 01:11:19,715
You don't think so?
1602
01:11:21,235 --> 01:11:21,875
No.
1603
01:11:22,994 --> 01:11:23,475
Okay.
1604
01:11:23,475 --> 01:11:23,555
Okay.
1605
01:11:24,739 --> 01:11:25,220
We'll talk
1606
01:11:25,220 --> 01:11:25,699
about that. I
1607
01:11:25,460 --> 01:11:27,220
that. I wanna see it happen.
1608
01:11:27,220 --> 01:11:28,659
That's why I'm putting it in the universe.
1609
01:11:28,659 --> 01:11:30,420
I'm saying it because
1610
01:11:30,659 --> 01:11:32,900
Reverse psychology on the universe.
1611
01:11:32,900 --> 01:11:33,060
That's
1612
01:11:33,060 --> 01:11:33,460
beautiful.
1613
01:11:33,460 --> 01:11:37,220
I think we've seen it happen numerous weeks.
1614
01:11:38,095 --> 01:11:38,574
You know what?
1615
01:11:38,895 --> 01:11:41,215
Here's what I want to see happen.
1616
01:11:41,215 --> 01:11:46,015
I wanna see Preston Summerhays pull it out and
see if he can get up there and get some
1617
01:11:46,015 --> 01:11:48,574
confidence leading into his last year in
college.
1618
01:11:48,975 --> 01:11:50,095
That'd be pretty cool.
1619
01:11:50,095 --> 01:11:50,414
That would
1620
01:11:50,414 --> 01:11:50,814
be good.
1621
01:11:50,814 --> 01:11:51,215
Kid.
1622
01:11:51,215 --> 01:11:51,935
Really good kid.
1623
01:11:52,189 --> 01:11:53,469
I think that's awesome.
1624
01:11:53,550 --> 01:12:00,349
Did you guys know that Gordon Sargent didn't
even make it to nationals?
1625
01:12:00,829 --> 01:12:01,630
No.
1626
01:12:02,189 --> 01:12:02,909
Mhmm.
1627
01:12:03,310 --> 01:12:03,869
It's tough.
1628
01:12:03,869 --> 01:12:13,385
The guy that is the, you know, the genesis of
the PGA Tour University and the PGA Tour
1629
01:12:13,465 --> 01:12:16,265
Accelerator program is going into
1630
01:12:16,425 --> 01:12:18,744
Luke Kwon is technically
1631
01:12:19,145 --> 01:12:19,545
No.
1632
01:12:19,545 --> 01:12:22,104
Gordon Sargent got his card before Luke Kwon.
1633
01:12:22,710 --> 01:12:23,510
I know.
1634
01:12:23,510 --> 01:12:24,149
Yeah.
1635
01:12:24,229 --> 01:12:29,909
But Gordon Sargent didn't even make his squad
for nationals, and this is his final year.
1636
01:12:29,909 --> 01:12:30,869
It's a tough sport.
1637
01:12:30,869 --> 01:12:32,070
It's a tough sport,
1638
01:12:32,070 --> 01:12:32,310
man.
1639
01:12:32,310 --> 01:12:32,550
Yeah.
1640
01:12:32,550 --> 01:12:33,030
Yeah.
1641
01:12:33,110 --> 01:12:35,270
But we've talked about it with Nick Dunlap.
1642
01:12:35,414 --> 01:12:39,335
Just imagine if Nick Dunlap stayed in school
and all of a sudden had the driver yips.
1643
01:12:39,335 --> 01:12:41,494
He's not making it to nationals, probably.
1644
01:12:41,494 --> 01:12:41,734
Yeah.
1645
01:12:41,734 --> 01:12:47,494
But, I mean, he had the driver yips because of
likely what he's doing off the golf course in
1646
01:12:47,494 --> 01:12:47,975
the gym.
1647
01:12:47,975 --> 01:12:49,520
But, I mean
1648
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:50,800
I love this one.
1649
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:52,479
Joseph Delgiorno.
1650
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:55,520
Wish the GOAT Pat Perez was in the field this
week.
1651
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:55,920
GOAT.
1652
01:12:55,920 --> 01:13:02,000
If Pat Perez was in the field this week, he's
probably gonna shoot at least, well, one, he
1653
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:03,039
wouldn't make the cut.
1654
01:13:03,039 --> 01:13:03,199
Right?
1655
01:13:04,824 --> 01:13:05,305
Second,
1656
01:13:06,585 --> 01:13:07,864
Eighty-seven.
1657
01:13:07,864 --> 01:13:08,664
Yeah.
1658
01:13:10,185 --> 01:13:13,704
Actually, he would withdraw after the nine
holes on Friday.
1659
01:13:14,024 --> 01:13:16,345
I think I think you're spot on with that.
1660
01:13:16,345 --> 01:13:16,585
Yeah.
1661
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,600
He is not somebody who could handle that type
of mental.
1662
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:21,560
Great to Vegas.
1663
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:22,119
Yeah.
1664
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:24,360
He'll lose an arm, and he's just like, yeah.
1665
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:25,000
I'm done with this.
1666
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,000
I mean, he'll chip a nail.
1667
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:28,039
Anyway, I'm out.
1668
01:13:30,054 --> 01:13:31,574
But he can't say anything.
1669
01:13:32,215 --> 01:13:32,774
Alright.
1670
01:13:32,774 --> 01:13:33,255
True.
1671
01:13:35,094 --> 01:13:36,135
And you're wrong.
1672
01:13:36,534 --> 01:13:37,734
Thank you.
1673
01:13:39,494 --> 01:13:41,255
Let's talk about the broadcast.
1674
01:13:41,255 --> 01:13:42,854
This is the last topic for tonight.
1675
01:13:42,854 --> 01:13:43,014
Yeah.
1676
01:13:43,014 --> 01:13:43,894
Joe Buck.
1677
01:13:43,895 --> 01:13:44,295
Woo hoo.
1678
01:13:44,670 --> 01:13:44,989
Joe.
1679
01:13:44,989 --> 01:13:49,949
You know, NBC is gonna have the broadcast this
year with, oh, it's not Fox?
1680
01:13:49,949 --> 01:13:50,829
USA Today.
1681
01:13:50,829 --> 01:13:51,389
No.
1682
01:13:51,469 --> 01:13:51,630
Oh.
1683
01:13:51,630 --> 01:13:54,029
Because that was kind of my point here is that
1684
01:13:54,189 --> 01:13:54,510
Oh, I didn't
1685
01:13:54,510 --> 01:13:54,670
know that.
1686
01:13:54,670 --> 01:13:57,710
Remember when Fox did the broadcast for a hot
second?
1687
01:13:57,710 --> 01:13:58,350
Joe Buck.
1688
01:13:58,350 --> 01:13:58,510
Yeah.
1689
01:13:58,784 --> 01:13:59,664
It was terrible.
1690
01:13:59,664 --> 01:14:00,625
We beat.
1691
01:14:00,864 --> 01:14:01,905
It was really bad.
1692
01:14:01,905 --> 01:14:06,864
And, one of the early ones, I think it was the
Winged Foot one, they had Holly Sonders on
1693
01:14:06,864 --> 01:14:07,345
it.
1694
01:14:07,425 --> 01:14:07,664
Mhmm.
1695
01:14:07,744 --> 01:14:08,625
If I'm not mistaken.
1696
01:14:08,864 --> 01:14:09,425
I think you're right.
1697
01:14:09,425 --> 01:14:10,704
Way back when.
1698
01:14:11,265 --> 01:14:14,225
So my question to you guys, since we do a
podcast show,
1699
01:14:15,399 --> 01:14:15,639
Yes.
1700
01:14:15,639 --> 01:14:16,760
You should do the broadcast.
1701
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:17,159
Absolutely.
1702
01:14:17,159 --> 01:14:17,399
No.
1703
01:14:17,399 --> 01:14:17,719
No.
1704
01:14:17,719 --> 01:14:21,079
What makes or breaks a broadcast in your
opinion?
1705
01:14:21,239 --> 01:14:24,119
So, Brent, I know you're gonna be vocal on
this.
1706
01:14:24,199 --> 01:14:24,920
%.
1707
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:25,959
Get after it.
1708
01:14:26,199 --> 01:14:30,784
I mean, on top of who they view, when, what
they're doing, and all that other stuff that we
1709
01:14:30,784 --> 01:14:33,265
already have covered 4,000 times.
1710
01:14:33,425 --> 01:14:39,744
But as far as the people and what they say, the
best broadcasts have been when these guys are
1711
01:14:39,744 --> 01:14:48,869
kind of funny but accurate, short to the point,
and you can tell that they're not trying to
1712
01:14:48,949 --> 01:14:51,989
make a joke so everybody will like them.
1713
01:14:52,229 --> 01:14:57,914
Or say a zinger to try to get that one-liner
out there.
1714
01:14:58,475 --> 01:15:06,314
It's also educated, talking about how many
times have we heard, Oh, well, I would have
1715
01:15:06,314 --> 01:15:09,994
never hit that shot, or I can't believe you hit
that shot, or I would have never done that.
1716
01:15:10,939 --> 01:15:14,380
I mean, that's all I've been hearing every time
I watch golf this year.
1717
01:15:14,380 --> 01:15:15,899
Oh, that was a terrible shot.
1718
01:15:15,899 --> 01:15:17,180
I have to be honest.
1719
01:15:17,180 --> 01:15:21,899
I've heard that probably 20 times, and it's
from a guy that I don't even think he made the
1720
01:15:21,899 --> 01:15:22,780
PGA Tour.
1721
01:15:22,780 --> 01:15:26,375
And you're just like, go out there and hit
those shots.
1722
01:15:26,694 --> 01:15:29,095
Oh, you can't because you can't break fucking a
b.
1723
01:15:29,095 --> 01:15:29,654
So go
1724
01:15:29,654 --> 01:15:30,215
go do it.
1725
01:15:30,215 --> 01:15:31,094
I don't wanna hear it.
1726
01:15:31,335 --> 01:15:33,654
Austin Whittington says bring back Johnny
Miller.
1727
01:15:33,654 --> 01:15:34,774
Johnny Miller was
1728
01:15:34,694 --> 01:15:35,975
Absolutely not.
1729
01:15:35,975 --> 01:15:37,814
I've talked about it on this podcast.
1730
01:15:37,814 --> 01:15:40,489
I sat on a plane ride next to Johnny Miller.
1731
01:15:40,489 --> 01:15:42,329
I've gotten to know Johnny Miller as well.
1732
01:15:42,329 --> 01:15:43,529
I've seen him and his son.
1733
01:15:43,529 --> 01:15:44,250
Think he's great.
1734
01:15:44,250 --> 01:15:44,889
Nice people.
1735
01:15:44,889 --> 01:15:45,849
He's phenomenal.
1736
01:15:45,929 --> 01:15:49,849
But Johnny Miller is the originator of I would
have hit that shot better.
1737
01:15:50,010 --> 01:15:54,054
And if there's a reason why you're in the
booth, Johnny, I don't wanna hear it.
1738
01:15:54,055 --> 01:15:54,375
Yeah.
1739
01:15:54,375 --> 01:15:55,335
Because he got old.
1740
01:15:55,335 --> 01:15:56,295
Buttsy, what about you?
1741
01:15:56,295 --> 01:15:58,135
What makes a broadcast great?
1742
01:15:58,215 --> 01:16:02,534
Just getting excited when good shots are hit
and respecting that.
1743
01:16:02,534 --> 01:16:05,015
And then the rest of the time, just calling it.
1744
01:16:05,159 --> 01:16:06,520
Just call it as it is.
1745
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,800
Don't your opinion I don't know.
1746
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:11,479
That's, like, exactly like Brent said.
1747
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:14,039
If you're sitting on the couch or you're in the
booth, you're not playing.
1748
01:16:14,039 --> 01:16:18,920
So having an opinion on whether or not you
could do better or speaking from a personal
1749
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:25,724
perspective on how well you hit golf shots or
what that been, I guess that's fine.
1750
01:16:25,724 --> 01:16:29,484
I guess it's okay to say, oh, you know, maybe
he should've done this.
1751
01:16:29,484 --> 01:16:31,085
But I don't know.
1752
01:16:31,085 --> 01:16:32,364
Just being realistic.
1753
01:16:32,364 --> 01:16:32,925
Being real.
1754
01:16:33,909 --> 01:16:35,109
John is the man.
1755
01:16:35,189 --> 01:16:36,789
Had a few dinners with him.
1756
01:16:36,789 --> 01:16:37,430
Oh, sorry.
1757
01:16:37,430 --> 01:16:40,630
That was, from Cart Barn Guys, Kyle over there.
1758
01:16:40,630 --> 01:16:42,229
He's not talking about Johnny Miller, though.
1759
01:16:42,229 --> 01:16:43,909
He's just talking about some guy named John.
1760
01:16:43,909 --> 01:16:44,710
This guy named John.
1761
01:16:44,710 --> 01:16:44,949
Yeah.
1762
01:16:44,949 --> 01:16:45,590
That's great.
1763
01:16:46,284 --> 01:16:47,885
Trot golfers, let it play out.
1764
01:16:47,885 --> 01:16:49,724
Still no mics on the bag.
1765
01:16:50,204 --> 01:16:53,724
Well, did you guys I assume Gary McCord.
1766
01:16:53,724 --> 01:16:54,045
Yeah.
1767
01:16:54,045 --> 01:16:54,844
Everybody does.
1768
01:16:54,844 --> 01:16:56,684
And David Feherty.
1769
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:00,320
Oh, John absolutely.
1770
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:04,159
Johnny Miller is 100% the man, and he's a super
nice human being.
1771
01:17:04,159 --> 01:17:04,479
I'm just saying.
1772
01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:04,880
Kyle,
1773
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:07,039
once again, folks, has chimed in.
1774
01:17:07,039 --> 01:17:08,720
He says, Johnny is the man, Brent.
1775
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:10,399
One of the greatest iron players ever.
1776
01:17:10,914 --> 01:17:12,434
He's a terrible golfer.
1777
01:17:12,675 --> 01:17:14,435
Matt Every is good on the mic.
1778
01:17:14,435 --> 01:17:20,314
So Matt Every, he's an interesting one because
we had him on the podcast, and he wasn't—he
1779
01:17:20,314 --> 01:17:23,074
just—and I like Matt Every.
1780
01:17:23,074 --> 01:17:23,795
I do.
1781
01:17:23,795 --> 01:17:29,659
But, like, he did not really want questions
being asked of him like that were like—I think
1782
01:17:29,659 --> 01:17:31,899
that's something that Jim Nantz does really,
really well.
1783
01:17:31,899 --> 01:17:35,260
That's why we lean so much on Jim Nantz in
particular.
1784
01:17:35,260 --> 01:17:39,739
But it's the storytelling and, to both of your
points, by the way, I love what you guys said,
1785
01:17:40,195 --> 01:17:41,875
which is be authentic.
1786
01:17:42,114 --> 01:17:47,475
Like, call it how you see it and how it's
unfolding in front of your eyes.
1787
01:17:47,475 --> 01:17:49,555
Be descriptive, but be authentic.
1788
01:17:49,555 --> 01:17:55,489
Don't sit there and be super opinionated to be
like, oh, you should have, you know, hit that
1789
01:17:55,489 --> 01:17:57,090
shot within five feet.
1790
01:17:57,250 --> 01:17:58,130
And you're right.
1791
01:17:58,130 --> 01:18:03,569
I have heard that on several broadcasts
recently where it's like they're like, oh, man.
1792
01:18:03,569 --> 01:18:04,770
That was a terrible shot.
1793
01:18:04,770 --> 01:18:06,529
Like, he could have gotten way closer.
1794
01:18:06,689 --> 01:18:07,810
I have to be honest.
1795
01:18:07,810 --> 01:18:08,289
Like, what?
1796
01:18:09,414 --> 01:18:09,895
Yeah.
1797
01:18:10,135 --> 01:18:11,414
Well, nobody asked.
1798
01:18:11,814 --> 01:18:17,094
One, that is a saying that I say quite a bit,
and I hate it because it's like, well, are you—
1799
01:18:17,255 --> 01:18:17,734
Are you not?
1800
01:18:17,734 --> 01:18:18,454
Oh, are you serious?
1801
01:18:18,454 --> 01:18:19,094
Like,
1802
01:18:19,335 --> 01:18:20,215
what's going on there?
1803
01:18:20,215 --> 01:18:22,295
Like, it's a figure of speech, and I get that.
1804
01:18:22,295 --> 01:18:22,614
For sure.
1805
01:18:22,739 --> 01:18:24,739
But it's also something qualifying.
1806
01:18:24,739 --> 01:18:25,140
Yes.
1807
01:18:25,140 --> 01:18:25,539
Yeah.
1808
01:18:25,539 --> 01:18:30,020
But it's also something that people use as a
crutch a lot so that they can say something.
1809
01:18:30,020 --> 01:18:30,579
Right?
1810
01:18:30,579 --> 01:18:34,340
And that, to me, just be authentic with the
broadcast.
1811
01:18:34,340 --> 01:18:39,114
And I think that'll lead a long way when it
comes to that.
1812
01:18:39,114 --> 01:18:48,635
And then also, I think, like, I don't know if I
love it, but I feel like the viewership loves
1813
01:18:48,635 --> 01:18:54,859
it is when they have a guy out there on the
course like a Johnson Wagner.
1814
01:18:55,020 --> 01:18:55,340
Yeah.
1815
01:18:55,340 --> 01:18:55,739
Or—
1816
01:18:55,979 --> 01:18:57,260
Who knows what he's talking about?
1817
01:18:58,619 --> 01:19:03,020
Well, there's one of the they brought the guy
in for the PGA Championship.
1818
01:19:03,475 --> 01:19:08,755
I guess he's a Euro, one of the Euro
broadcasters been in golf for a very, very long
1819
01:19:08,755 --> 01:19:09,314
time.
1820
01:19:09,395 --> 01:19:14,515
Like, they all gave him a ton of acclaim, but
he was putting golf balls out there and showing
1821
01:19:15,359 --> 01:19:19,279
how much the golf ball will come off of the
green with the false front.
1822
01:19:19,279 --> 01:19:22,319
He was talking a little bit about the rough,
things along those lines.
1823
01:19:22,719 --> 01:19:30,284
I think those clips and aspects give the viewer
a sense of how deep that rough really is or how
1824
01:19:30,284 --> 01:19:35,885
fast those greens are undulating or some of the
church pew bunkers.
1825
01:19:36,204 --> 01:19:39,164
That's gonna be a really telling piece to this.
1826
01:19:39,164 --> 01:19:40,845
But again, that goes to the storytelling.
1827
01:19:42,250 --> 01:19:48,329
Yeah, there's an educational piece like they
teach along the way, but don't take it to that
1828
01:19:48,329 --> 01:19:54,729
level of, you know, making the viewer feel like
an idiot or trying to assume that the viewer
1829
01:19:54,729 --> 01:19:56,809
doesn't know what the hell you're talking
about.
1830
01:19:56,810 --> 01:19:57,449
Right, right, right.
1831
01:19:57,555 --> 01:19:58,195
Just your
1832
01:19:58,195 --> 01:19:58,275
job.
1833
01:19:58,275 --> 01:20:02,274
Your job is to relay and paint the picture.
1834
01:20:02,675 --> 01:20:10,929
It's not to somehow drag somebody else down or
for you to blow yourself up, right, to make
1835
01:20:10,929 --> 01:20:11,969
yourself the show.
1836
01:20:11,969 --> 01:20:13,250
And I think you're spot on.
1837
01:20:13,250 --> 01:20:19,969
Jim Nantz does like, not a single time have we
ever heard him put himself in somebody else's
1838
01:20:19,969 --> 01:20:24,529
shoes and say, well, I think this, and I just
have to be honest, and it's my opinion.
1839
01:20:24,529 --> 01:20:25,250
And no.
1840
01:20:25,614 --> 01:20:26,814
He tells the story.
1841
01:20:26,814 --> 01:20:28,094
He gets the information.
1842
01:20:28,175 --> 01:20:31,135
Now granted, the information for the most part
is fed to him.
1843
01:20:31,135 --> 01:20:34,414
Sometimes, you know, it's a little bit, you
know, bland.
1844
01:20:34,574 --> 01:20:43,590
But at the Masters, aside from a couple of
impossible stories that we can go into after we
1845
01:20:43,590 --> 01:20:49,989
get offline, for the most part, it was just
like, holy crap.
1846
01:20:49,989 --> 01:20:51,189
I feel like I'm there.
1847
01:20:51,270 --> 01:20:52,869
And that's the whole point.
1848
01:20:53,110 --> 01:20:56,765
And that's why, like, a Verne Lundquist, a
Feherty
1849
01:20:56,765 --> 01:20:57,085
What a voice.
1850
01:20:57,085 --> 01:20:57,725
Gary McCord.
1851
01:20:57,805 --> 01:20:58,765
What a voice.
1852
01:20:59,085 --> 01:21:01,085
Ian Baker-Finch, unbelievable.
1853
01:21:01,564 --> 01:21:05,085
And I will actually give Johnny Miller some
credit.
1854
01:21:05,085 --> 01:21:07,244
For the most part, he was very, very good.
1855
01:21:07,244 --> 01:21:10,649
There were a lot of times where he did kind of
make himself the show.
1856
01:21:10,649 --> 01:21:18,569
But, well, he realized that if he was
controversial—and I feel like guys in sports
1857
01:21:18,569 --> 01:21:26,625
nowadays do this way too often, and it's
getting played out to where they purposely take
1858
01:21:26,625 --> 01:21:28,944
the stance to piss people off.
1859
01:21:29,025 --> 01:21:29,664
Right?
1860
01:21:29,905 --> 01:21:35,025
And Johnny Miller was one of the original guys
that he knew people were gonna get upset by the
1861
01:21:35,025 --> 01:21:38,465
stuff he was gonna say, and he just—he was
1862
01:21:38,039 --> 01:21:38,520
direct.
1863
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:39,239
Anyways.
1864
01:21:39,239 --> 01:21:39,479
Yeah.
1865
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:39,560
He
1866
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:39,880
yeah.
1867
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:40,600
He loved himself.
1868
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:44,600
After it, and he wasn't always wrong, though.
1869
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:45,319
That's the other thing.
1870
01:21:45,319 --> 01:21:45,720
No.
1871
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:47,159
Like, he shot it from the hip.
1872
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:51,960
And he did it to spice up viewership and
everything like that, I feel like.
1873
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:56,074
But at the end of the day, he also had some of
those true opinions as well.
1874
01:21:56,074 --> 01:22:01,914
And he developed the walking farts, and I think
that was part of the reason that his career
1875
01:22:01,914 --> 01:22:06,569
ended short because it was something that they
tried to, like, subdue and edit out, but he was
1876
01:22:06,569 --> 01:22:10,489
farting so much that the other broadcasters got
like, they were laughing or puking.
1877
01:22:10,489 --> 01:22:14,250
It smelled really bad, and it's something that
doesn't get out there, but he got the walking
1878
01:22:14,250 --> 01:22:16,170
farts, and a lot of people don't know that.
1879
01:22:16,170 --> 01:22:20,010
And that's where we're gonna end this episode,
right there with the walking farts, folks.

We also want to give a shoutout to my guy who

the tour raw blue or raw tour blue.
1894
01:23:27,425 --> 01:23:32,064
Titleist 690 MBs from Custom Golf AZ on
Instagram, folks.
1895
01:23:32,729 --> 01:23:38,170
He is going to be setting up shop, and you can

1896
01:23:38,170 --> 01:23:41,689
by him as well as refinishing of golf clubs.
1897
01:23:41,930 --> 01:23:47,404
So make sure to get out there and check out
Custom Golf AZ.
1898
01:23:47,404 --> 01:23:51,645
And if you've got any needs, any old clubs that
you're like, man, those blades back in the day
1899
01:23:51,645 --> 01:23:52,444
were awesome.
1900
01:23:52,604 --> 01:23:57,804
Get them cleaned up, get them fixed, get them
refinished because again, these were not in
1901
01:23:57,804 --> 01:23:58,284
great shape.
1902
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:02,039
And he did a phenomenal job on these when I saw
them.
1903
01:24:02,039 --> 01:24:04,119
I was just drooling yesterday.
1904
01:24:04,119 --> 01:24:09,400
I can't wait to play these tomorrow night in
the grass league skins game over at Grass
1905
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:10,039
Clippings.
1906
01:24:10,039 --> 01:24:11,800
So looking forward to that.
1907
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:12,840
You guys are gonna see these.
1908
01:24:13,204 --> 01:24:14,005
KBS.
1909
01:24:14,005 --> 01:24:19,444
We want to give a shoutout to them for the
shafts.
1910
01:24:19,524 --> 01:24:24,404
So I've been playing some Money Tapers, which I
absolutely love the Money Tapers.
1911
01:24:24,404 --> 01:24:25,925
I love the feel of them.
1912
01:24:25,925 --> 01:24:30,309
However, they tend to balloon on me just a
little bit, which is why I've gone back to
1913
01:24:30,309 --> 01:24:37,109
C-Tapers, which are a little bit stiffer, but
KBS makes the best golf shafts in the game when
1914
01:24:37,109 --> 01:24:38,389
it comes to irons, in my opinion.
1915
01:24:38,835 --> 01:24:44,114
You can argue with me on that all you want, but
KBS, hats right over here.
1916
01:24:44,114 --> 01:24:47,715
We appreciate you guys, and, until next time.
1917
01:24:47,715 --> 01:24:49,154
Do you guys know what's coming?
1918
01:24:49,154 --> 01:24:50,034
Oh, yeah.
1919
01:24:50,835 --> 01:24:51,314
Hit it.
1920
01:25:06,904 --> 01:25:08,503
Peace out, everybody.
1921
01:25:08,503 --> 01:25:10,984
A-Town down.
