>> SPEAKING OF THE STARS, WE DID HAVE STAR POWER IN THE VALSPAR CHAMPIONSHIP, JUSTIN THOMAS WAS A BIG PART OF THE CONVERSATION THROUGH TWO ROUNDS AND THEN DISASTER STRUCK. THAT BROUGHT UP CONCERNED WITH WHAT WE SAW WITH

JT’S GAME AND THAT WAS ON HEELS OF MISSING TWO OF THE PREVIOUS THREE CUTS LEADING INTO VALSPAR. >> I WOULD SAY IT IS TWOFOLD. BALL STRIKING SEEMS TO BE COMING AROUND AND IT SEEMS TO BE MOVING IN THE RIGHT

DIRECTION AND CERTAINLY THE STROKES GAINED, STATISTICS STAND OUT COMPARED TO LAST YEAR HE IS MOVING IN A BETTER DIRECTION. I AM ALWAYS VERY CAREFUL WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THESE GUYS ON THE PGA TOUR. WE CAN BREAK

IT DOWN TO A MINUTE LEVEL AND DISSECT WHAT A PLAYER IS GOOD AT AND NOT SO GOOD AT. YOU HAVE 156 OF PLAYERS LAST WEEK AND THE VALSPAR CHAMPIONSHIP AND BY COMPARISON HIS PUTTING WAS OBJECTIVELY AWFUL. IT WAS PROBABLY

EVEN AWFUL AS A AMATEUR EVENT. YOU ARE LOOKING AT SEVEN STROKES TO THE FIELD. IF YOU WATCH THE COVERAGE HE NEVER LOOKED COMFORTABLE ON THE GREEN. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS LAST NIGHT ON THE PODCAST. WHEN YOU LOOK AT

HOW WE DISSECTED SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER OVER THE LAST YEAR, EVERYTHING HE HAS DONE TO GET BETTER. HIS WORK WITH PHIL AND HIS PUTTING COACH, EVERY WEEK IT SEEMS LIKE HE IS GRINDING AWAY LOOKING FOR ANSWERS AND IT SEEMS LIKE HE

FOUND SOME VERSION OF THE ANSWERS. I AM NOT 100% SURE THAT WE DON’T HEAR ABOUT WHAT HE IS WORKING ON. BASED ON THE PERFORMANCE LAST WEEK I WILL HAVE ALARM BELLS FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THE NEXT UP WILL

BE THE MASTERS AND THUS NOT WHERE YOU WANT TO GO. >> SPEAKING OF ANSWERS — >> GO AHEAD. >> I CERTAINLY FEEL DIFFERENTLY THEN I DID A MONTH AGO. JT WAS GETTING THE MOST STROKES ON THE FIELD IN THE

COMPETITION. IN OTHER WORDS HE WAS PLAYING BETTER THAN ANYONE IN THE WORLD AT LEAST RELATED TO THE PLAYERS HE WAS PLAYING AGAINST. OBVIOUSLY HIS PUTTER CONTINUES TO BE A HUGE ISSUE EVEN IN HIS BEST YEARS HE WAS AN

AVERAGE PUTTER TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE. IN SOME HE WAS LOSING STROKES. THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO NEUTRALIZE THAT. THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WAS A PERFECT EXAMPLE WHERE I DON’T THINK WYNDHAM CLARK AND

— WERE SITTING AROUND THINKING WHAT COULD I DO DIFFERENTLY. THERE WERE NOT MAJOR THINGS THAT THEY COULD HAVE DONE TO DATE SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER. THE MARGINS ARE SO SMALL AND SO THIN AT THAT ELITE LEVEL THAT JT HAS

TO FIND A WAY TO
