and Murray I hate these I absolutely hate it another good guy gone and that’s where we’re going to start this episode we’re going to start it with a quick 10c moment of silence and uh I know he dealt with alcohol addiction so I’m just going to Cheers You Up In Heaven There Grayson and here’s the thing folks he ended up taking his own life we have a statement from the parents a lot of you probably have already seen this I’m going to read it out loud but the parents put this as a statement uh for everybody we’ve spent the last 24 hours trying to come to terms with the fact that our son is gone it’s surreal that we not only have to admit it to ourselves but that we also have to acknowledge it to the world it’s a nightmare we have so many questions that have no answers but one was Grayson loved the answer is yes by us his brother Cameron his sister Erica all of his extended family by his friends by his fellow players and it seems by many of you who are reading this he was loved and he will be missed we would like to thank the PGA Tour and the entire world of golf for the outpouring of support life wasn’t always easy for Grayson and although he took his own life we know he rest PE peacefully now please respect our privacy as we work through this incredible tragedy and please honor Grayson by being kind to one another if that becomes his legacy we could ask for nothing else thank you so that was from the parents and uh Dylan VOD I believe that’s uh how you say your last name hopefully I got that right uh but prayers to Grayson’s family and it really is I mean God those parents they dealt with a lot I I’ll tell you what I know quite a bit about Grayson because because uh we’ve had quite a few of his caddies on this show so michah fuget um good old Bobby Brown caddied for him for a little while previous co-host here on the pull hook golf podcast um as well as others I believe even Lance benett might have been a few other guys um as well and everybody just had the nicest things to say about Grayson he was a bit crazy and wild back when he was dealing with alcohol addiction and so forth and a lot of these IES knew him through that obviously uh but everybody had such nice things to say about graceon Murray before he ended up taking his own life now the one thing that I will say is as just a PSA I put this out on Twitter um a couple days ago when this all went down but please if you are having issues with depression don’t think you are too manly to and this goes for everybody not just men but it tends to be men that end up committing suicide and it’s funny I’m part of a A brotherhood group um where it’s part of my mental performance coach Brandon Epstein he runs this group um and it’s just you know trying to continue to work on mental health and you know trying to maintain a high level of performance and work and career and everything that you’re doing and uh it’s unfortunate a couple months back uh one of the guys took his own life and we had been pushing him to go and to seek help to not only seek help but to uh actually go and do the bof AL various experience which uh that is the famous toad Venom that I’ve talked about on the show when I went to Tulum you know I smoked it out of a crack pipe it was the craziest thing but you’re with the shaman and it’s a very enlightening and there’s a lot of research that’s been done about around this with John Hopkins research and so forth and so um I just recommend somebody if you’re going through stuff to seek out help and to go and seek some of even these alternative I couldn’t recommend it enough um I’ve dealt with issues of my own uh that I have stated and I will just say that you know it really was the one thing that made me realize this is so bigger than myself and um I just want everybody to uh take care of themselves and say something nice uh we’ll get into that here in a second with what Harry higs said um but again graceon Murray shout out to him he had worked so hard on himself and here’s the thing folks like you hear about burning out in a career you hear about maxing out to your maximum that is something to where he he was dealing with addiction every single day and he got into great shape and then on top of that he focused on professional golf but it seemed like he was just to the Limit and it just seemed like there was a life-changing type of event that went on top of that that he just couldn’t handle it anymore and that’s where you need help and again I just really wish that uh anybody that is going through any personal struggles any type of depression anxiety addiction so on and so forth we’ve lost too many my Perez was another one that we had lost and It’s just tough so just go seek the type of help and Brian from Twitter put poor guy do you think they should have canceled or delayed the tournament at all uh the answer to that is no because uh Jay Monahan as much as he gets [ __ ] on by everybody including myself at times um he actually reached out to the parents and asked them if he if they wanted the PGA Tour to cancel the event they were actually going to cancel the golf tournament uh in honor of Grayson Murray and they said no he wouldn’t want it that way he would want all the guys to still go on and still play so that’s what they did and shout out to the PJ tour for reaching out to the family in regards to that and shout out to the family because everybody there was a lot of stuff that was going around um in regards to his death and I mean the players knew I knew right away so so the family came out in that statement that I read and uh talked about how it was suicide so the just to set the record straight there um he did take his own life and tro golfer his views on other players were pretty fun to follow he did and said things other players only wished they could say he will be missed he was one of the outspoken guys so what’s crazy is we at the RBC Canadian open this week for the PJ tour and he was one of the remember this was when it all broke about the framework agreement with piff and the players went nuts the players were pissed they had a closed door conference with all the players at the RBC Canadian open and Grayson was one of the guys who stood up and just absolutely went at J Monahan called him a fake and a phony and just went after him and so Grayson was one of those guys that he never held back and I think that’s what the caddies loved about him like he never mistreated the caddies from all of the stories and everything because I was always curious about that remember he got into it on the range with Kevin Na they almost came to fisted cuffs and the caddies and everything uh really showed that you know that was just him not being in the right mindset but he was never afraid to tell somebody how it is and I love love those type of people if you can’t tell by the show I love to tell it how it is I don’t love to sugarcoat things I get direct into the point and Grayson seems like he was very much the same um another comment here from Austin Whittington Rory told him to play better and he did Rip Grayson and he did I mean and that’s the crazy thing he turned around his life got clean ends up getting fit focused on golf got engaged the one thing we haven’t heard about at all and I’m just going to leave this one here here is we haven’t heard anything about or from the fiance so I don’t know if that was the life-changing event that really pushed them over the top but she was not mentioned in the parent statement either so just something else to uh kind of take into account there with this whole thing but enough’s enough guys let’s be nice to each other let’s treat each other with respect uh there was one post by um I’m not even God I want to say the name to throw them under the bus but there was a one of those Liv golf accounts the not not from Liv golf Liv golf should actually separate themselves and push them away from those troll accounts because those troll accounts have gotten out of hand and they were blaming J Monahan for Grayson’s death and I’m just like what a just a scumbag what what type of loser has to post something like that and then I’m like you know what let me back off of this this but I I was that made me Furious that in a moment like this you go after somebody and you try to turn it into this political Warfare that you’re trying to help your side of things um it’s just ugly despicable I have no respect for that account absolutely I mean I had little to begin with but I have absolutely none for them now and there’s no defending it if you defend it you’re a scumbag that’s just the bottom line so let’s get into Harry higs because he mentioned something that uh you know he Harry higs everybody seems to know him from when the PGA Tour he came out on the PGA tour and he did that video of him writing and he was singing the song or lipsyncing it and Harry higs came onto the scene then at the waist Management Phoenix Open he did the whole lifting up the shirt with Joel Damon um and Harry higs really made a name for himself it actually rubbed a lot of people the wrong way it rubbed Bobby Brown former co-host on the show the wrong way Bobby didn’t like him at all because of all of that stuff that was going on he’s like this guy isn’t that good he doesn’t deserve to get this much attention and he’s getting a ton of attention and he’s kind of soaking it in and so forth so with that said Harry higs goes back to the cor fery tour this year and he becomes the 14th player and you’ll know we don’t talk about the corn fery tour that often on this show we don’t talk about it enough we talk about it from time to time and some guys that are coming up through and everything but this one actually deserves the shout out here so Harry higs goes back to back so one last week one the week prior he’s the 14th player in the history of the Corn fairy tour to ever do this it’s happened 15 times apparently another player that I did not find the name for also did that as well um twice so there’s that but he’s the first player ever and this is where Harry higs makes some history first player ever to win consecutive corn fairy tours events in a playoff so he went backto back playoffs and won in both of them that tells you a little bit about Harry higs and the type of game that this guy’s got and he’s on the path back to the PGA Tour let me know in the comments if you guys feel otherwise I mean Harry higs he’s done his I feel like now he deserves some of the attention and everything around him and in his winning speech he honored Grayson Murray um him and Grayson had hung out a little bit here and there um but he said that I would challenge everybody here and I’m going to do this myself as well each day say something nice to someone you love and also make a point to say something nice to someone you do not even know once again that was Harry higs after his win on the corn fery tour going back to back so made sure that he called out to graceon Murray Brian here uh mentions that he’s watched Harry have a range session at the Valar on a Tuesday a couple years ago he seemed to have a fantastic personality I liked him right away I will say this he seemed definitely to have a great personality and what’s cool is when you see somebody get onto the PG tour have a bunch of publicity around them and everything and then have to go down to the corn fairy tour because they didn’t fully succeed at the PGA Tour and then they have to revamp their game they’ve got to get back into the grind they’ve got to make sure that they’re throwing in some super low rounds out there in order to work their way back up to getting back on the PG tour now when he comes back I feel like he has fully deserved it and he deserves some of the attention that uh takes place troc golfer says higs is great it’s nice to see a guy with some flash attitude whatever you want to call it plus he never buttons his shirt that’s a bonus I mean he he doesn’t he he looks a little sloppy out there at times um with the shirt and everything but he just lets it Fly lets it absolutely fly and that’s why I I’m starting to really get a soft spot for Harry higs because he’s doing it down down there and he’s still being that same guy and I hope when he comes to the PJ door he does get some of the attention back um that he had early on with the PGA Tour so moving from an area that we don’t talk about a lot on this show to another which is the NCA championships if you didn’t know now you know those are going on right now and oh hang on before we do get into the NCAA championships I just saw a comment come by from golfer HD let’s get you in here saying something nice is the easiest way to brighten someone’s day you know what I really loved about that speech by Harry higs is that he said say it to somebody you love and to a stranger I think the more impactful part is actually saying it to a stranger because you have no idea what they’re going through day in and day out and whenever somebody acts out a character is angry whatever just realize that everybody’s going through something in their life and to give them a little bit of respect and a little bit of courtesy and I think that goes certainly a really long way but now let’s get into the NCAA championships to where yes that is happening right now as we speak I believe the semi-finals just wrapped up so let me give you a little bit of background here heading into the final day of the NCAA championships which is tomorrow uh so if you’re listening to the podcast version of this that is happening today so make sure to watch it is out in Omni Lacosta they’re playing the North Course which is a par 72 stretches out to 7,538 yards uh tro golfer wants to know how’s Arizona State doing not good they they are completely out of it and uh yeah not not good at all ASU man I feel like one of these years coming up they’ve got to represent once again and show that they are a Powerhouse when it comes to D1 golf uh because they’ve got so many good players um that are on the team I mean there’s so many good Collegiate players but uh right now the semi-finals just wrapped up I was actually I still have the scores pulling up I was watching it before coming on to the show and I was getting pumped up just watching these young kids play but I will say this my one criticism is around and I know the golf channel has picked them up and has been a big supporter of Collegiate gol and they’re really starting to push it but it’s the announcers and Shane bacon is probably the best one in the group I just I am bored out of my mind listening to those guys they bring absolutely nothing it’s almost like for the few parents that are watching that it’s for them but I’m sitting there going man this is collegate golf how freaking cool would it be and this would be my pitch to the Golf Channel to the NCAA I don’t know who’s running the show with this whole thing and making these type of commitments but think about butsy and I commentating because we actually know what the hell we’re talking about but we can add in some humor some flavor to it and make it to where like Collegiate kids kids in college are going to want to watch this damn thing it was like listening to paint dry on a wall that’s how the announcers were for the NCAA championships and it’s just boring man like I I don’t know where to take that other than like just absolutely destroying them and I don’t want to do that but I would love to have an opportunity with buty to do an NC doua event next year almost like what no laying up did and the they did like the Manning cast and so forth with ESPN I would love to do that with the golf channel to we like keep your Bor boring announcers on keep them on but allow boty and I to do like ESPN the Ojo style for this and I’m telling you I have a feeling that it would be a huge hit with the college kids I think the college kids would absolutely love it um and tro gol for agre says coverage is awful the entire thing is awful it’s painful it really is it’s just boring as [ __ ] and it like it reminds me of back in the day with European where the European tour when literally it was the best thing for falling fall asleep if you ever had a tough time falling asleep you had um any type of issues falling asleep just listen to that it puts you right to bet reminds me of that in a way but let’s get into the actual NCA championships itself the individual men’s winner that uh took place the other day Hoshi taii from Georgia Tech made a triple bogey in the final round came all the way back to shoot three under in order to win the golf tournament hero taii now I don’t know much about Hoshi Thai but clearly uh being on Georgia Tech alongside with Christo lamri um they did pretty damn well and guess what they were in the semi-finals today now bad news for Georgia Tech they went down to Florida State University they lost that one so Florida State University is going to be moving forward the and what’s tough for Georgia Tech in this one is that Crystal Lam was up by two in the final set of holes I think there were like six holes left to play he’s two up and he goes down losing five straight holes to lose the match so Florida State University advances they end up winning three out of the five matches and then Auburn versus Ohio state that just wrapped up um actually hang on a second that has not wrapped up that is still going on as we speak I thought we had an update here because they there is they’re two matches one to two matches one Auburn versus Ohio State and there is the deciding match is tied through 20 holes right now so we don’t know if they’re going to be moving forward or not but Auburn was the number one team in the country Ohio state is putting up a battle Neil Shipley who we all got to know through the US am last year uh he lost for Ohio State but uh this is going to be interesting I would love to see Auburn versus Florida State personally um and that’ll be on tomorrow I have no idea what time though absolutely no idea golf TV needs a 180 fast I’m telling you man the Manning cast style like they do with football with Payton Manning and Eli Manning and they started doing it with no laying on up like ESPN has this thing down to where I think that’s going to be the way moving forward and I would love to see the Golf Channel start getting into this Reach Out Golf Channel reach out to butsy and myself let us do one of those Manning cast style deals for the NCAA tournaments next year even just the regular tournaments I would love to do them we’re going to be doing more on the putting side as well well um where we’re going to have a full series um taking place here at potting World in Scottsdale Arizona buty and I are going to do the live commentary for it um and it’s going to be our own league so keep an eye out for some more information coming from us around that uh but that’s going to get started this summer so U looking forward to that and if you’re here locally and want to participate definitely reach out um and here we go TR go for that kid one behind in the stroke play nailed the stick I saw that so this kid he was one stroke behind just went flag hunting and by flag hunting I mean he absolutely demolished the flag stick went flying back into the bunker and it definitely was pretty painful way to end the round for that kid and lose the individual title um golfer HD wants you to know Pittsburgh is Neil Shipley right from Pittsburgh itself and then uh just watch live stream commentary on these events we’ll watch or just live stream okay you know what that’s not a bad idea um I will look into how to live stream uh those and pull them up and put butsy and I next to it let’s uh let’s see if we can’t get something like that going I’ll do a little bit of research into the streaming software see if we can get that done cuz I think that would be a lot of fun and kind of set the tone towards wards that but um I will say the putting stuff that’s going to be coming up definitely pay attention to that because that’s going to be an absolute blast we had an absolute blast on their tour championship and uh really looking forward to getting that League started um and that’s going to be our league that uh is going to be going on so we hope to have some of the best Putters around the country let alone in Arizona more details to come on that um also note in regards to the NCAA side of things so the PJ tour you this is that new program that the PGA Tour established that allowed ludvig oberg to come right into the PGA Tour have his card play in events and obviously that was a huge success with ludvig because he ended up getting into the Ryder Cup um has gotten into Majors now and is just a fixture on the PGA tour well Stanford Zone Michael Thor’s Thor Boren God see I would need to learn some of these names Thor Boren I think that’s still absolutely botched I’m sorry Michael my apologies I will learn your name as soon as you get on the PGA tour but he finished first he’s going to get his 2025 PGA Tour card um and that’s a pretty cool setup that they’ve got for the PGA Tour U Christo lambre he is the big hitter um from Georgia Tech and he was the number one amiter he was chasing down Michael however he injured his back um didn’t seem to have any issues with his back today that was not why he ended up losing five straight to lose the match it just kind of seemed like he choked a little bit which is okay Christo you’re going to learn from that and become better from it uh but Michael ends up from Stanford finishing first gets his 2025 PG tour card all right let’s keep it moving keep it grooving here the Charles Schwab Challenge and we’re going to recap that here so first off the winner Davis Riley now got a little bit of History here with Davis Riley I don’t personally but through the show we do and of course I got to take a sip of whiskey before I get into this because this is a little bit of drama here around Davis riy okay now if you go back a couple months ago I had Lance Bennett on the podcast that was his second time being on the podcast you might recall the name because might have heard it recently cuz he is Tiger Woods’s caddy now okay so Lance Bennett was on the bag for Davis Riley before moving on and then getting Tigers back however before Lance Bennett there was Daniel Gregory okay Daniel Gregory is Bobby Brown’s son now Bobby Brown was a co-host here so follow me for a second here with this story Bobby Brown his son followed in his footsteps has been a great caddy on the corn fairy tour and really did his dues on the corn fairy tour with multiple guys even had a couple stints on the PJ tour um I believe he might have even caddied for Grayson Murray if I’m not mistaken and I’ve had Daniel on this podcast as well so if you go back to earlier episodes with Bobby we actually had his son on and his son is now the caddy for Pearce and Cy but this is where the drama lies because Lance Bennett and Bobby Brown were best friends okay and they always stayed in the same rooms and everything and they had a little folling out before they kind of mended fences because what ended up happening and it’s no fault other than Davis Riley’s for a little bit of bad form on his behalf I feel like because Davis Riley ends up qualifying to get on to the PGA Tour you would think that the caddy that you were with you’re going to bring up to the PGA Tour that really paid his dues young great caddy and sure enough Davis Riley soon as he goes to make the move to the PGA Tour calls Lance Bennett and wants him to be his caddy tough one Daniel Gregory gets the boot from Davis Riley Lance of course like trying to be a good guy and all of it and everything tries to smooth it all over it’s just business blah blah blah and sure enough Davis Riley goes on to Lance Bennett him and Lance Bennett were together for a a while and Lance ended up moving on from Davis um took a couple other bags like Austin Smotherman um another guy that he mentioned on the podcast European I still can’t remember that damn kid’s name but uh Daniel Gregory got the good old shaft from Davis Riley so I’ll never forget that one and it led to tensions in the friendship between Lance and Bobby so lot of drama around that one but Davis Riley hell of a player I’m not going to say anything about him personally um and then tro golfer says Grayson did the same thing I don’t know what that was in reference to um cuz it was are you saying that Grayson moved on from his caddy on the corn fairy tour when he came back up to the PGA Tour it does happen so I don’t want everybody to think that this doesn’t happen with caddies there’s kind of this carousel right and when oh with Kip Henley yes I do I actually know about that one which uh Kip is a little bit of an outspoken person as well I’ve seen his stuff on uh Twitter and he’s kind of mellowed out a little bit since he doesn’t have a bag right now uh but I know him and Bobby have had some issues and so forth in the past because of how outspoken Kip is um and how they kind of see things differently but yeah that uh Grayson had a lot of lot of caddies lot of lot of caddies um but going back to Davis Riley here so he just played extremely solid all week now one of the coolest things about winning the Charles Schwab challenge is you get a old school vehicle that’s been redone that is historic it’s a it’s a I don’t even know how to frame it I’m a car guy and I’m I’m blanking on the name for it but um he ended up getting a Corvette Stingray like an old school one with the lighter blue color to it it was sick but one of the it’s just a cool bonus to have in addition to that whole entire yes restored there we go Dylan VOD threw that in there for me thank you Dylan for throwing that in it’s a restored vehicle it has been brought back up it’s a vintage vehicle and I love those I mean those are the type of cars that I like my dream car was a 1967 Shelby Mustang I actually owned it at one point in my uh late 20s and just such a sick vehicle um I would have killed myself in it cuz it was way too powerful and the brakes were still manual and not power so um there was some reasons why I had to get rid of that thing uh but those cars are absolutely awesome and okay Kip does have a bag again Champion stew Heath slokum gotcha so uh that was from Trot golfer I I saw some of his posts over the past couple weeks to where he was talking about that he was available um for people to uh or he was looking for a bag so it looks like he landed one on the senior tour or champions tour with Heath slokum that’s pretty cool there for him uh but Davis Riley never never really was I mean had a great first round very windy conditions there at Colonial and the other side to it as well is that he really brought it home in Saturday or on Friday and Saturday got a big lead and then just never really looked back now one of the weird things by this whole entire thing is Scotty Sheffer Scotty sheffler did not look right the first round and I mentioned when he had the kid when he had his first child he and I hate to say this I absolutely hate to say it Scotty sheffler might be dealing with the first child syndrome that bogs down every great golfer because he did not look like himself out there in the opening round now granny shot at 2 over 72 comes back with a 65 then comes back on Saturday with a 63 but then you see it again on Sunday just did not look like himself goes out shoots one over 71 and finishes Todd for second Scotty Sheffer and in addition to the first child syndrome I saw the the video so last week on a Thursday took a day for myself went out and played 72 holes of golf now before anybody goes that’s impossible to play 72 holes of golf in a day play it on a par three course okay it’s actually one of my favorite out here in Arizona it’s called Mountain Shadows the short course it’s absolutely fantastic and I played 72 holes and at the end of the day so I was there from like 6:30 in the morning to about 4:30 5:00 get home pop open Instagram and Twitter and I see the video of Scotty sheffler and it’s that different camera angle that everybody has seen now to where he’s pulling around very slowly and this Super Trooper ends up coming up and slaming I don’t know if it was like a uh a flashlight or whatever he had in his hand but it’s like he tried to Dent the vehicle this Super Trooper who’s very high on himself you can tell from the video like it’s not very hard to know what was going on there but this guy just and then he tries to like get inside of his vehicle tries to turn off the vehicle as if Scotty sheffler is refusing to turn it off Scotty sheffler’s completely stopped just a complete abuse of power is what I saw and with that the charges still officially haven’t been dropped to my knowledge so if I’m wrong on that feel free to throw it in there uh I was actually talking with my dad on Sunday and he was saying that the uh cop had been let now that was Twitter news so I’m not quite sure um but yeah I mean tro golfer says the cop was being what 90% of cops are you know I hate to say it because I I’m a I’m a supporter of the local police and out here in Arizona especially and I know that they can get a little bit out of hand at time so they got a tough job to do but that one in particular just seemed ridiculous and you know that he’s done this to other people that are interest innocent and have screwed them over so that’s where it becomes tough and I hope that he was let go because and I don’t say that about anybody like I don’t want people to lose their jobs but in this particular case this guy clearly abuses power and clearly has done it before because he looks super comfortable abusing power and everybody could step back and everything from what this guy was doing like nobody wanted to jump in and help until it was like too late but man that is just a hard look for that police officer and again after seeing that I can see why Scotty sheffler struggled at the PGA and I get it tro golford he can’t win every week can he no but here’s the thing his game is so consistent and his ball striking is so good normally where you’re going to see him struggle is with the flat stick and that’s what we’re actually seeing right now from col morawa okay last week on the show Colin morawa was actually my pick to win or to be in the top 20 um folks if you are gambling on golf here’s my recommendation do top 20s I was talking with a number a number of sports gamblers because of the whole Xander shle deal and I’ve been a top 20 guy for a long time like I I normally don’t throw out there a ton and if I do throw in a couple bucks on a winner I don’t really go after winners all that often I want to see guys finish in the top 20 I feel like it’s a lot more predictable to get guys in the top 20 so I actually parlayed Colin morawa and Scotty schaffler to finish in the top 20 made a good little bit of money around that but col Mora is the guy who excuse me he is oh the whiskey might begin to me I might need another set so Colin morawa finishes fourth this week the guy can’t buy a bucket with the Putter and that’s what I’m talking about with Scotty sheffler so normally it’s not his golf swing that goes the numbers and all the stats and everything backed that up so his Strokes gain approach driving consistency and accuracy and um so forth that’s with Scotty sheffler right so Scotty sheffler very consistent one of the best ball Strikers out there and normally you’re not going to see him struggle like he did in the first round and the final round so I’m a little nervous when it comes to Scotty sheffler um and for the rest of the year col morawa on the other hand I didn’t know this I ended up finding that col morawa is number one in driving accuracy this year and the guy is hitting it extremely well and then I finally figured out why he’s hting it so goddamn well K morawa went to uh went to Blackburn which uh Blackburn is the number one golf instructor according to Golf Digest and so forth and uh Mark Blackburn that is so Mark Blackburn is the coach for Max hom amongst others and Kum morawa went to him I didn’t know this I ended up learning this over the weekend and I’m like holy crap so kalur aawa no wonder is ball striking and he’s always been a great ball Striker so don’t get me Twisted on that uh but he and tro golfer love this Colin couldn’t make it in foot golf hole so those are those big huge holes that you kick a soccer ball into and you’re spot on because he has struggled he struggled at the PGA he struggled there but his game is so consistent right now and he still feels like he’s playing with a b game at the moment so once again imagine Colin morawa once he gets into that mode of feeling like he’s got his aame the putter needs to come around and the putter has always been an issue with him as well as chipping so that’s one thing with Scotty Sheffer Scotty sheffer’s chipping is always just absolutely Dynamite around that so a bit of difference there but again Scotty sheffler little bit worried little Troublesome I’m not not ringing the alarms yet around Scotty sheffler okay so let’s give him a couple more weeks let’s see what he ends up doing in a couple more tournaments moving forward once he gets a little bit of his footing and so forth and uh I just want to give a shout out I saw a text message come across and as I’m talking about Scotty sheffler one of my good buddies Tyson Rickers he just uh text me and they’ve been on baby watch as well because his wife has been pregnant and uh sure enough Otto Edward Rickers is excited to be here um so apparently and he just sent over the text obviously it’s been a couple crazy days for him so the baby was born on May 25th congratulations Tyson and Jenna for a baby boy that is awesome he’s healthy at home and uh he also mentioned that Otto’s first request is lifelong golf lessons from his favorite Uncle Matt I will absolutely oblig to that so uh congrats Tyson Rickers uh Tyson’s golf game is GNA go downhill I just want him to know that now but his son uh his game will be very good because I will certainly oblig and I will certainly give some lessons to good old Otto for a lifetime so uh looking forward to meeting Auto in the days to come but that’s the Whirlwind of having a kid right so Scotty Sheffer once again we’ll be keeping an eye on him let’s talk a little bit about Keegan Bradley because Keegan Bradley showed up at the PGA Championship ship and here at Colonial in very tough conditions is T2 alongside of Scotty sheffler now Keegan Bradley these are the first signs of life out of Keegan Bradley since the PGA Championship or I’m sorry not the PGA Champion since the Ryder Cup debacle which he did not get picked by Zack Johnson to be one of the captain’s picks of the rer cup and he was very hurt by that you could tell that he just wanted it so bad loves that competition loves representing his country and he hasn’t played well so now that he’s starting to play well I would say watch out for Keegan Bradley kind of moving forward he’s just a guy to keep an eye on right now and then we got Pearson Cy okay so I mentioned this is coming back full cycle because Davis Riley who canned Daniel Gregory after he made it onto the PGA Tour went to Lance Bennett for a while um Daniel Gregory ended up finding himself a great bag and a great person in Pierce and cooy Daniel couldn’t I mean Daniel had the opportunity I’m just going to say this U Daniel had the opportunity to go to a bag that uh how can I how can I say this without giving away too much detail let’s call it a top 20 bag Daniel Gregory had the opportunity of going to a top 20 back I think that’s fair to say and instead he stood by his guy in Pearson Cy and goes no I’m not going to do what’s been done to me I’m gonna stand by my guy love this guy this guy is going to be on the PGA tour and we’re going to have a great run together so I’ve known of Pearson and then also his twin brother Parker both guys can play but peon is the guy that if you’re on the driving range listening to the shots that Pearson Cy is hitting he’s one of those ball Strikers that when you hear it come off of the club face you’re just like holy [ __ ] that’s a different sound not a lot of people are making that sound and that’s Pearson cooy now he had a very impressive showing was in second heading into the final round or actually third heading into the final round he was second heading into um the third round so pearcing Cy and he’s a guy that when he figures it out and he calms down his nerves because he definitely had some nerves on that Sunday shot four over 74 and he just does not look comfortable in the spotlight yet but that’s something he’s going to learn in this experience of being in there and being in contention that that’s going to bode really really well for him and he’s one of these guys that his ball doesn’t get affected by the win that much because of how solid he strikes his irons in game but I do want to give a shout out to Daniel Gregory at times I had to do a double take I’m like holy [ __ ] is that Bobby out there cuz Bobby wore the big Australian like it’s not the bucket hat but it’s the Aussie hat that goes all the way around Bobby sent me one of those uh titlist ones but man Daniel was wearing one of those and he’s long and skinny like his dad his dad I mean Bobby’s like six5 so Daniel’s tall too and I’m looking and I’m just like is that Bo a young Bobby Brown out there I mean it it was pretty cool to see him doing his thing out there with Pearson and again those guys are going to do something at some point in the future so just keep an eye on Pearson cooy course conditions out there at Colonial were very firm greens so here’s the thing there was a lot of hate on the golf course from Skeptics right you’re talking about the trolls that are out there and everything and there were some brown spots and whatnot what a lot of people didn’t realize because they don’t have golf knowledge if they’re a troll in a lot of ways they’re just idiots for the most part is that there was a complete course renovation or restoration to the golf course that took place that in order to get it fully ready to go they needed 18 months it was completed in 11 months just so that they could have this golf tournament in time that Golf Course was not what it’s going to be next year when we get to this tournament next year Colonial Country Club is going to be an absolute gem all the players were raving about the changes that were made uh there was a few part threes on the back none uh that have changed pretty dramatically and it is absolutely incredible of a golf club out there at Colonial and it’s tough it plays tough every year so with that said I just want to acknowledge the fact that Gil Hans did a phenomenal job he’s the one that did the restoration brought it back to kind of its natural Roots uh got rid of a lot of the fake cement kind of riverways and so forth and made it more a natural terrain and everything and the job that they did was phenomenal but the greens were very firm and there were windy conditions first round Thursday was very windy and then Sunday was very windy until the end so uh again just tough conditions and for Davis Riley to shoot 14 under and to win by five he deserved to win that golf tournament great job by Davis Riley um around that and uh he’s a young guy too man he’s another one of those guys there’s so much talent that is out there on the PGA tour PGA Tour is in a great spot from a talent perspective and these are guys that you need to get to know Davis Riley is going to be and he’s his game just looks good too so watching him Friday Saturday Sunday Thursday look good too but those were really windy conditions so again being able to get it done under pressure on Sunday when you got Scotty sheffler playing with you in the funnel group that’s pretty impressive even though Scotty didn’t look like Scotty what was your guys’ take from the Charles Schwab challenge I’m I’m curious if you guys got anything to add into there I mean our picks last week I mean I won that one with Colin morawa eight under I believe was with Jordan spe at plus one I said watch out for Billy horel he was at minus one Brian Haron minus one so I forget who else we had in the uh betting side of things we were kind of picking the top five guys there and so forth but um yeah let’s keep it moving got about got about a thousand people on right now so between good old YouTube and uh p and uh Bullet Golf and Twitter uh we’re doing quite well here so horrible courses horrible course too many trees yeah that’s uh that’s Austin Whittington he’s joking around there but no it a phenomenal golf course and plays very tough so moving into the upcoming RBC Canadian open previous winner here was Nick tlor if you remember there was a guy Adam hadwin that uh ended up getting tackled by security guard trying to celebrate with his buddy Nick Taylor that became quite viral last year at the RBC Canadian open but uh we got a ton of information to go over there track golfer is asking about Richard Bland anyone so Richard Bland we’re going to get into that so that’s at the end here uh with Liv Gulf because we got a lot to talk about with Liv Gulf as well I know it’s running a little long here I’m running long in the tooth as uh Mikey Perez used to say but the upcoming RBC Adan open this is a Hamilton Golf and Country Club up there in Canada it was designed by Harry Colts restored by Martin Ebert and it’s a par 70 stretches out to about 7,084 yards not super long and uh you know as Trot golfers mentioned Nick Taylor one of the best putts ever made when he won that last year it was absolutely incredible and to see a Canadian win the Canadian open that’s their National open so it means a lot more to them than it does to us and that’s what’s pretty cool about that entire thing I’m pretty stoked for this particular tournament because guess what betting odds I feel like I’ve got a little bit of insight here around the RBC Canadian open because guess who plays extremely well at the RBC Canadian open that is Rory Mel Roy so Rory he is at plus 360 this week he is the fan favorite amongst all the betting books that are out there now again I’m a top 20 guy I love putting people in the top 20 Rory’s you’re going to have to put up some money in order to get Rory into the top 20 and actually make a little bit of money but if you parlay that with somebody like Shane Lowry who when Rory won it two years ago Shane Lowry finished second who played really well at the PGA Championship not only Rory mooy but Shane Lowry which Rory had his stumbles right so it’s not as big of a lock as Scotty sheffler or Colin morawa last week but I do like Rory mroy for obvious reasons this week and I do like Shane Lowry this week now I was talking to one of my caddy buddies on tour and he was actually he’s got a new bag uh I will mention that in a little bit but uh Alex norin was one of the guys that they were playing playing with playing in some money games and so forth and he said Alex norin is just dialed in right now so watch out for Alex norin uh he’s made I think 13 out of 14 Cuts uh this year or heading into last year as well so Alex norin is a caddy dream this year of just making cut after cut after cut now does that equate to a top 20 this week potentially not but I do like Alex nor norin um you’ve got some others here so I’m going to go over some of the odds Tommy Fleetwood is in second here at plus 1600 sah theala at plus 18800 then you got Shane Lowry Alex norin Cory Connor and Cameron young at plus 2200 Sam Burns at plus 2500 you’ve got Maverick mcney and Adam Scott at plus 3,300 Keith Mitchell and Aaron Ry at plus 3500 I’m going to stop there for just a second because guess what Aaron Ry our two glove guy from England this guy can play and he’s been hovering around in the top 40s lately in tournaments uh including the PGA and he did finish in the top 20 last year I believe he finished in the top 10 last year at this tournament this is a good one for Aaron Ry so I do like Aaron Ry this week as well Tom Kim and McKenzie Hughes are also at plus 3500 they then you’ve got Eric Van royan AE batia Adam hadwin and Davis Thompson at plus 5000 you go beyond that you get too much into the weeds but uh these are the guys that we’re looking at this week and here’s the thing for my picks I’ve already gone over a couple I will tell you right now that Rory mroy at plus 360 might want to throw in just a few bucks on him because he’s won this tournament multiple times gosh that uh every once in a while it hits and I know but’s in my head right now because he wants me to create a clip and let me know in the comments if I should create this clip because it’s very timec consuming if I do and butsy is begging me to create a clip where it’s of either of us burping and just putting together a compilation of or a yeah compilation is it Whatever It Is of all the burps that happen on the show so if you want to see that I need to hear it in the comments if not I’m not going to spend the hours that it would take going through the episodes and finding all of the burps that we have throughout the episodes because obviously we drink a little bit of booze on the show Dylan vry says it would be quite funny uh I buty believes that it would as well so I have to imagine that it would be um I will certainly try um to put that together if we get enough people saying that that’s what they want to see tro golfer says and this is in regards to Aaron Ry iron covers can’t win can they plus two gloves I mean he’s doing everything out there and he does he’s got the iron covers on imagine being his caddy okay Aaron Ry so just so that everybody knows that if you’re not familiar with this guy he certainly has the iron covers and he told the story going back to his childhood that you know they weren’t very well off and his parents got a irons and you know he’s kept that going because he wants to protect his clubs even though now he gets them for free from all the Tour Vans and everything uh he still puts them on but imagine being his goddamn caddy and imagine a rainy day you know how many gloves are up in the umbrella for these players just trying to keep one dry so that they can have a good grip on their Club Aaron Ry you got two gloves everywhere and on top of that you got to be taking off the iron covers I don’t know who his caddy is but man that’s got to be a tough gig that’s what they like to refer to as a hard bag that is a complicated hard bag right there um so Aaron Ry I do like him though the the guy has some serious game he has not broken through yet um and Dylan says Dylan vry as a caty it would be a damn nightmare it absolutely would I could not imagine and I’m going to tell you right now I don’t think there’s a single caddy that really wants his bag because of how difficult of a bag that he’d be it’s kind of like the guy that you’re like man I don’t have many good options right now I’m going to take the money going to take the money and I’m going to go to Aaron Ry because he makes a lot of cuts that’s the thing about Aaron Ry and he really popped onto the scene last year and he’s just been very consistent and again he makes a lot of cuts he’s just not he hasn’t broken through yet for the victory um I think it’s coming though I I would probably say Aaron Ry I would be surprised if he doesn’t win by the end of next year he’ll probably end up getting to that point he’s got a lot of game but definitely a cadd nightmare Aaron Ry caddy nightmare um so I I like Rory I like Shane Lowry I like Alex norin I like Aaron Ry and then um the guy that I was talking about who I had on the podcast not that long ago and this is one of the Cates that uh uh David gase I want to say it was it’s David right I don’t know why all of a sudden I got nervous about saying his first name I’m like Jesus what is wrong with me um that’s what happens when you drink on the show a little bit so you got to make sure that you keep it together um but no it is David so David geese um he moved on so if you recall he was with uh Harrison Ott he’s now with bud colie so Bud colie um is is on his way back bud colie has dealt with a lot of injury issues over the years I believe he was in a car accident um if I’m not mistaken and just one of these good guys that you want to root for so I’ve got bud Kia this week too because he said he’s like man I’m on his bag now had to make the switch very it he said it was one of the toughest things ever to uh call up Harrison and let him know that he was moving on but uh bud goie this kid has game and if he gets this together and he said he’s very motivated right now game looks in great shape so Bud colie watch out for him he’s deep in the odds um not saying he’s going to win but if he could pull off a top 20 I got a nice little parlay that I think I’m going to hit on for that all right let’s get into the swanes style segment the winner of this Swan’s $250 giveaway will be announced tomorrow I apologize if we were in person butsy and I we would have picked out of a hat we would have gone um on and yes track go for Bud colie the OG DOD don’t don’t let the dod King know that um but yes he is the OG when it comes to driver off the deck he is the OG king of that and Bud colie do you remember he was in like Tiger Woods one of the video games of Tiger Woods he was an upand cominging stud before he got seriously injured and now he’s healthy he’s got the health exemption this year on the PGA tour and I think with David on the bag they could be a really good combo and this could be exactly what Bud’s looking for so hopefully fingers crossed Bud’s got a great amount of game and David just brings that level of cool and calmness to the bag that I think they will end up doing quite well together but in the swanie style segment here I do want to mention somebody that has always been in style somebody that onc course off course has had photo shoots like really brings it uh but a shout out to Lexi Thompson who just announced that she’s going to be retiring from the game of golf next year so after this season she was retiring this is a bit of a surprise for me I feel like man she still has just I mean she’s really given it up in the the core of her career but I don’t know is she going to go have kids who knows um that is part of it but she brought a lot of style to the game the fitness side of thing she brought in I mean remember she played in the Shriners last year and almost made the cut she missed a putt in order to make the cut and it was a whole big deal I know I was tough on it because I’m like ah these are Shenanigans just trying to get press and marketing uh but that’s what this is out a lot of times and attention to the golf tournament but Lexi Thompson couldn’t be happier for you as long as you’re happy with retirement so um Kudos and shout out to you and if you are a female golfer you need to check out Swan’s and their new women’s golf collection because they’ve got some great stuff and they have started making this year women’s golf attire and it is dope I’ve got my wife looking at it now and she wants stuff she’s bugging me every single week she’s like hey can you get me this can you get me this I mean Swan’s stuff is phenomenal but now the women get to take on some of that stuff and if you got a girl girlfriend fiance wife whoever um definitely take a look if they love to play the game of golf go take a look at Swan’s and the women’s collection over there all right tro goer here you go man the upcoming live Gulf Houston man that is strong it’s a small batch rye whiskey from my buddy Zayn and his uh fiance Shelby and that’s great stuff they gave it to me on my 40th and absolutely delicious but man those small batches they it’s like 180 proof it’s like woo you throw that on some ice that’s going to that’s going to grow some hair on your balls oh whiskey all right live golf Houston this is the first time live golf is going to be at the golf club of Houston this is a ree Jones and David Toms design par 72 measures at 7500 yards so it’s a big boys course right this golf course is is not uncommon with the pros they formerly had the Houston open from 2003 to 2019 it is a wetland style golf course but if you know reys Jones a lot of it’s right in front of you the key guys that you want to watch out for are gonna be Bryson D Shambo Brook’s cap good John rum those three are the guys that they’re going to take advantage of how deep this golf course is obviously everybody can get it out there now but but they get the advantage based off of how far they’re hitting the golf ball Brooks coming off of the PJ Championship to where he wasn’t super happy with his performance there especially on Saturday Brooks kepka is going to have a little bit of a point to prove and a little bit of a chip on his shoulder heading into this one John ROM played terribly at the PGA so he’s got something to prove as well and then Bryson’s coming off of that great performance to where we talked about it last week about how has Bryson D Shambo arrived in a lot of ways the answer is yes is he the needle mover in golf that’s still TBD in my mind but I do think that Bryson D shampo really became an Entertainer has matured and is awesome and fun to watch so we’ve got that going for the players to watch for and then I mean you just relate those teams to those players Legion 13 smash GC and Crushers GC those are the teams in my mind to watch out for this week I think they each have a good opportunity I’m not going out on any type of limb here by saying that so don’t think that you’re going to find ridiculous betting odds for those particular teams or those individual players but here’s the thing the big gaps in the schedule are just ruining it for me and it it has like every single time we go on these big breaks four week weeks and so forth to where there’s not a live golf event and I’m a backer of live golf I I like live golf I really enjoy the team aspect to it I know a lot of people [ __ ] on it it’s okay um and I get [ __ ] on by all the live trolls that are out there because I talk about the PGA Tour so they immediately just hate me and think that I don’t like live golf but I actually pay attention research and do homework on live golf when it comes to the coverage that we provide that being said whenever there is one of these big momentum shifts in the schedule to where there’s just a layoff and I don’t relate you know if they’re going into a major championship I get it like have the week off beforehand maybe and then go right into event the following week but these long layoffs just kill it for me I just can’t really get excited about Liv golf Houston right now although the players are still playing so you got Richard Bland that Trot golfer was talking about Good Old Dicky Bland goes into the senior PJ Championship it’s its first ever senior event over the age of 50 goes out there and wins the damn thing so Dicky Bland and here’s the thing all the haters from the PJ tour troll side are going to say oh well the PGA Tour um is the only place to play and live golf you know you go there for retirement blah blah blah and we’ve said it it’s a lifestyle tour but it doesn’t mean that guys aren’t going to strive to be the best that they possibly can be while they’re out there now there is some that are going to go through that and I think every single time they sign a new player that new player is going to have some struggles and that’s going to be an issue right you’re not going to come over get it paid a bunch of money not worry about making Cuts because there are none and all of a sudden play your absolutely best golf we’re seeing that with John ROM right now and all of a sudden it’s normally that second year that they turn on that switch and they start grinding we saw it with Cam Smith we saw it with Brooks kco we we’re seeing it with these guys that in second year they’re not taking the long layoffs anymore they’re playing they’re practicing hard and that’s what we see with all the other major sport leagues they’re getting paid a trillions of dollars like they’re getting paid a boatload of money and they finally figure it out as to how to stay motivated how did as tiger said keep digging in the dirt keep figuring it out keep playing at their top level and we noticed this past off season too that some of the lower level guys that aren’t necessarily the biggest names are going out there playing week in and week out we saw it with walk Neeman who granted he’s a name but he became a bigger name than this year because of how much he was playing in the off season and then came in and won multiple tournaments so right there you know there is figuring it out for these guys and Dylan VRE uh mentions that the shotguns start three rounds and big times in between make it slow for in-person and online viewing it does it that that is factual and that’s what fans have a very tough time wrapping their head around this is an issue now as they get more players under contract and so forth and I think if there’s not if the merger doesn’t happen which I still think the merger is imminent I still think they’re going to make a deal I still think that it’s probably going to move over into the PGA Tour management side of things and you know team names might be changed but ownership of those teams aren’t going to change they’re going to keep those big names on each of those teams um thought if they don’t let’s let’s play hypotheticals here if they don’t and at the end of the year some of these contracts are up are they going to go over and get more people from the PGA Tour entice them to come over for boatloads of money could happen so you’re going to go through this cycle all over again but I think you got to have a more consistent schedule that’s not to say that it needs to be super long just needs to be Compact and I think if if they have an event every single week leading up to the majors and then right after the major and they just really put it together um around the major championships I think they will have a very good product and they have a good product but the challenge is keeping people’s interest we live in a day and age right now where it’s Instagram reels it’s tick tock everybody’s attention is 15 seconds and then you’re moving on to the next thing and so it makes it very challenging for any type of long- firm content and sitting down and watching a golf tournament for five hours is one of those tough things to do um and trot golfer does ask when does polter’s contract end this year so everybody was on a three-year contract that was signed initially because they didn’t know if it was going to go beyond three years so nobody has a longer contract than three years now granted some of the new guys that have been picked up over time those are going to be up in years to come like John ROM for instance which he’s I mean I’ve heard conflicting information on John ROM’s contract so that $600 million valuation was including his team Equity I don’t know how they figured out a valuation for team Equity but apparently that is part of it um and so some of of these guys are done at the end of this year one of them that absolutely looks done and we talked about this Bobby and I because Bobby Brown who used to be on the show as a co-host and shout out to Bobby because I absolutely love Bobby but Bobby caddied for Dustin Johnson for the longest time okay before leaving and then Austin ended up taking over for DJ but Bobby was there for the majority of DJ’s career we said it when he signed with live that it wasn’t that big of a shock and on top of that after his contract was done he’s probably done with golf as long as he’s got enough money because him and Paulina they love the luxury lifestyle and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that like a lot of people [ __ ] on that from the PGA Tour troll side of things like oh they just got a boatload of money like they love the nicer things that’s crap it’s like hey it’s okay to like nice things I mean I don’t blame them at all if I was in his shoes I’d do the exact same thing but I think DJ’s never really golf has never been number one for DJ in a lot of ways and it really shows and it just shows that like he’s just not in it mentally anymore and Bobby used to say it and about him playing in golf tournaments that it’s like you know they’re be rounds to where it’s like Bobby would be so upset because he gave him a wrong number or something and he would just go to hey Bob it’s okay we’re just going to go find it we’re just going to hit it again it’s it’s fine no big deal and part of like being his caddy loved that but at the same time that does not show a sense of Just Killer Instinct like trying to beat everybody and it’s shown in his performance at the Masters at the PGA champion ship now I think he’s getting close to the end of his contract and I don’t think he’s going to sign up again for Liv golf so that’s going to present some issues at the end of this year now the question that should be asked is since they’re in their third season they’re contracted for three years we haven’t seen three years yet so are they still going to be a part of it next season as well that’s going to be the kicker I don’t know the answer to that I’m not privy outside of some agents that have told me a few things I’m not privy to seeing the contract so I can’t really comment too specifically in regards to that but yeah these guys now the had the big guys that signed the big contracts they have equity in the teams so each one of them owns up to a quarter of the team for ownership for equity I think that was Liv’s way and piff’s way of being like okay we’re going to give you a contract for three years and then afterwards you’re going to want to stay because you’re going to want the money you are an owner of that team so it’ll be interesting to see but I just don’t see it in DJ anymore I don’t know if you guys see it in DJ but he’s got an immense amount of talent don’t get me wrong DJ is one of my favorite golfers of all time and and I love his demeanor but he’s just kind of go going into the Twilight of his career so to speak and I think he’s just enjoying life and he like golf is just an extra thing that he goes out and does and makes a [ __ ] ton of money doing it like I don’t know tell me I’m wrong I mean he just and that was the thing like we called this back when he signed with Liv golf that he would be done after this year and now it’s starting to really look like that so we’ll see I mean we’ll find out at the end of the year but Dicky Bland wins the senior PJ Championship as I mentioned kieren Vincent who’s part of John ROMs team which is one of the reasons why I like John ROM’s team Legion 13 this week because not only does he have Kieran vincon he’s also got Caleb Sarat and Terell Hatton who Terell hatton’s been playing great all year long just hasn’t really broke through for a win or anything but he’s a solid B player on the team Caleb Sarat is an absolute stick I think he’s going to play really well at the golf club of Houston and then you’ve got Kieran Vincent who just won the Kit Kat cash and Carrie pram in South Africa on the sunshine tour I don’t [ __ ] on any win okay that is a win in a professional golf tournament so Kieran Vincent great work there and then you got Thomas Peters part of the range goats uh who tied second in the Deep world tours soal is it sud soal open in Belgium so that was the DP World Tour and uh tro golfer did mention here in regards to my little rant about DJ DJ may only um I don’t know exactly what that means but I think that means that uh DJ might be moving on so oh DJ may only play in the Masters um that certainly could be I mean I could see him just like whatever Majors he gets into just playing those and he might move into like a gmal for the Four Aces bring on a fourth player that’s the next phase by the way of all of this like Bubba Watson has already moved into like a full-on GM mode to where he’s got a team that him and a couple other guys manage that team and I think DJ might do the same thing they brought in uh what’s his face from Travis Matthews to manage the team and kind of be the GM of it but I think DJ’s going to take on kind of that ownership role and I think he’d be cool with that I I don’t think he I don’t know man it just doesn’t look like he loves golf anymore and I don’t want to speak for him but that’s just what I see and that’s what I saw in the PJ Championship it’s what I saw in the Masters it’s just like he doesn’t he’s not at an elite level mentally anymore around the game he just kind of goes out and plays now once again uh we do have and I’m bringing this back golf picks bouder okay little take on golf but louder um and the switch with this we used to pick the last place individual in the last place team I’m G to tell you individual wise I’m going Brooks kka I think Brooks kka has something to prove this week team wise I’m going Legion 13 Legion 13 once again Caleb Surat is going to play well at this golf course great iron player John ROM he’s going to be the wild card in my opinion but you got Kieran Vincent coming in playing well you’ve also got Terell Hatton playing well John ROM’s going to be the wild card but I think Legion 13 takes it this week from the team side that’ll be their third team Victory if they can pull it off this week man I have been going for a long time any last questions before we kind of wrap it up or any final comments about Good Old live golf Houston we work our way backwards the swanie style segment once again if you’re tuning in to find out who won the swan’s $250 worth of gear that is still going to be going until midnight tonight tomorrow morning on Instagram I will be announcing the winner of that cont test um so make sure to go on to pole hook golf if you want to make an entry go on tag your forsome in the comments you got to like the post and then you got to make sure that you’re following P hook Golf and Swan’s golf in order to be eligible for that there is no limit to the number of entries around that and then if you got anything else around the RBC Canadian Open The Charles Schwab challenge recap NCAA championships oh one last thing about the NCAA Championship since that match finally did end Auburn is going to the final and will be playing Florida State University for the team title for the NCAA division 1 Men’s Golf Championship in carlb California that pretty much wraps it up folks I don’t see any other comments we still got about 700 uh people on listening live here I greatly appreciate that it you know I miss botsy I miss the man the myth the legend the butts himself he uh hopefully he’s feeling a little bit better don’t know if he tuned in tonight or not um but man really hope that he’s feeling better oh anti live what a late moment now anti live there are no excuses for joining late okay he joined late because of the Timberwolves Mavericks game did any more live trolls want to play here’s the thing the live trolls there’s been one one live troll in the live troll challenge so if you are a new listener listening in um anti- live I think the name gives it away that he’s got on uh social media on Twitter and he came up with the idea of let’s have a Ridder Cup golf tournament between the live haters and the PJ tour haters and take all the trolls and let’s work it out on the golf course well I will tell you that all the PGA Tour trolls wanted to play in this damn thing the Liv side not that many not that many at all um and there’s been a couple that uh have thrown their name in the Hat and otherwise not much so who who won the game because I haven’t I I don’t have anything up now I do do want everybody to know that I also sacrific cuz I’m a New York guy through and through so my New York Rangers were playing tonight against the uh Florida Panthers in hockey and I am devastated that I didn’t get to watch uh I did see before I hopped on live that the Rangers were down 2 to one um but I have not looked so if you want to let me know who won that game as well but uh who won the Timberwolves Mavericks game by the way if you are a basketball fan I just want to say that I know that it’s fictitious it’s a conspiracy theory but ant is Michael Jordan’s Offspring like that dude is The Offspring of Michael Jordan I I just I can’t say it any other way it just he looks like him same manorisms plays the same way little bit better of a 3 shooter oh tro golfer let me know hockey series is all tied up two to2 lost in OT so that’s a third OT in a row for the Rangers versus the Florida Panthers that’s a great series by the way if you’re not a hockey fan and want to become a hockey fan watch that series that is such a good series um to watch those guys are going absolutely after and they’re going to go back to Madison Square Garden which I don’t care if you like new New York Sports or not but Madison Square Garden is an absolutely amazing place to watch hockey It Takes the Cake over basketball um and any other sport that goes on boxing is phenomenal in Madison Square Garden but playoff hockey New Yorkers will tell you it is better than anything at Madison Square Garden it’s even better than Billy Joel so uh with that said uh tro golfer mentioned amazing hockey is being played there and uh clean hockey yeah it’s uh just a great series those two teams are equally matched it’s going to go to seven games I could imagine and hopefully it’s my Rangers that uh pull it out so that we can go get ourselves a Stanley Cup all right so with that said I do want to thank our sponsor Swan’s golf for representing po hook Golf and being our sponsor to bring you guys this episode of P hook golf it’s the 121st episode
