Canadian people are awesome yes we’re talking about the fans right yeah the good old Canadian open uh we’re recapping that bad boy and the fans were awesome they were super polite that was one of the weirdest things yeah so they were like applauding players that were like T putting like as if like hey great job great job see I I saw something different I don’t know if it was like H 12 was it par 4 maybe I think I saw like nine people almost whole out and it was just like claps like like they tapped in like I saw like like nine shots inside 3 feet and nobody said so I don’t know I don’t know maybe we’re talking about hate those fans on the 12th hole terrible that’s the hole absolutely terrible we went from Canadian fans are awesome fans are terrible so we got that going for us which is nice no but the big we’re a big fan of the rink hole yes like that rink hole that part three just pounding the boards just I don’t know what that movement was but you know uh but that was great they they were absolutely pounding the boards and every time a Canadian player came to that hole they were singing the Canadian anthem which is what I can’t like what is it do you know it Oh Canada yeah that’s all I know I don’t even know if that’s good I feel I feel like it’s pretty good I feel like it’s accurate it’s got to be Oh Canada I think that’s it I think Oh Canada Oh Canada a son of a [ __ ] that was a great shot there OT and boot there in Canada oh yeah yeah if you get a hit me with a pork pie yeah and so uh with that said we also had a foreigner win which uh is good old Lefty Scottish men Robert Bobby the man McIntyre Robert the Lefty what do you think about him and his dad his dad was on the bag he said something didn’t he at the end like I’m just a grass Clipper yeah I’m a gr yeah from Scotland you ain’t cutting the yard no more pimp no he was a I believe he he mowed the uh grass at uh the old course really no not really that would be really cool I cannot confirm nor deny but I think he was I think he was a a uh a greens keeper guy out of one of the golf course I could be completely wrong on that could be completely fake news and I apologize for that folks but um good old Robert McIntyre wins it had his dad on the bag that was pretty freaking cool pretty cool and uh he did have running though it was not all smooth and easy for good old Bobby McIntyre he uh he had an issue with a drone him and a drone I heard about this I really had some issues going on that drone was not his friend and on the back nine it had finally gotten to him the announcers so you got uh good old Jim Nance you got IML Min I believe was in there with him and they’re going he’s going to have to get used to drones like this is the future of golf broadcast but to his credit he wanted to see an official about it he’s like this is [ __ ] and sure enough they they ended up taking down the Drone for the rest of the round had no coverage from the Drone due to never make it on theour never make it on the live tour now this is also the guy who really complained about the PGA tour in a lot of ways about how on the DP World Tour it’s like a family out there the guys when they’re traveling they all go out to dinner together support each other yeah it’s all like camaraderie and everything and I can see that right but with the US tour guys are all doing their own thing cuz you got a I mean they all have their own Crews they got their own Crews they got their own camps they got their trainer they got their head coach they got their swing coach they you got somebody applying warm milk to their Cals in the morning like yeah it I’m sure it’s way different it would be cool if they had more camaraderie it would be right yeah but I don’t know I mean it’s but on the DP World Tour I feel like they’re traveling from country to Country it’s not like they’re going from state to state so they’re going to all these different countries families aren’t really following them around I believe and so sure enough like he’s going around and got a huge group of guys that they’re all playing golf with I mean I’ve heard the stories from um guys that have been around John Daly Maco Grady and so forth when they were all traveling around on the European tour and how they would do everything together so I get that but it’s like that it’s like the DP World Tour I don’t want to say it’s AAA baseball but BB tripa baseball is the same way right like it’s the same thing and then you get to the show and like things change the tour PJ tour uh is the show yeah so there you go so things change you’re you’re an entity now you’re a brand you’re your own thing I don’t think our International audience really understands just how powerful American Sports are and why these guys want to come over p t leags is so much more powerful here in the US and so yeah the DP World Tour is kind of like AAA baseball in a lot of ways you feel accurate about I don’t want to like I I don’t want to stifle it or like you know downgrade it but yeah the PJ tour is the show dude yeah that’s the NFL like that’s I’m in full agreeing Austin Whittington said some someone find Bob a friend we got to find Bob a friend Bob uh Bob McIntyre by the way good old Bobby Mack uh if you need a caddy that is Scottish let me know I know a guy all right so we covered uh good old Bobby McIntyre winning the uh Canadian open the RBC uh there you go anyways moving on so caddy Corrections from last week by the way and I’m a little bit embarrassed that this happened because I haven’t been up to speed with some of the caddy stuff that’s been going on so I’m going to to get uh correct on this and get updated here but some caddy Corrections and injuries that took place so last week I said Daniel Gregory son of Bobby Brown was still on the bag for Pearson Cy which is not correct folks um apparently Pearson split with Daniel the week of the Valero now I did mention on last week’s podcast that Daniel stayed true and loyal to Pearson okay cuz he could have gotten a top 20 bag and decided to stay with Pearson okay so that goes to show you folks that the revolving door of caddies is real and when you get an opportunity to take a big bag you need to take that big bag yeah that’s my my personal thing on that but take the bag get the bag they split the week of the Valero um so Daniel’s currently with David lipsky which is a little bit of a let down compared to Pearson cudy who’s on the rise then you got current caddy for Pearson though is Ryan bovin so this is the guy that I thought looked just like Bobby Brown I’m like he’s got the Aussie hat out there tall skinny I’m like holy [ __ ] I was like I had to do like a double take thinking that was Daniel but Daniel doesn’t look like that so I’m like what the hell’s going on and that’s why I got confused but again who our guy that got the revolving or they pulled somebody out of the crowd no so here’s the thing fluff Cowen good old fluff yeah Tiger’s old caddy Jim [ __ ] old caddy so he’s cadan nowadays he split with Jim furick and he’s now with CT pan well it was is wet in Canada on Sunday and he took a dive took a dive and it seemed like he was going to be all right but he decided to take the rest of the day off that is not what I heard I I heard that he doesn’t have a sense of smell and for five minutes he smelled his mustache for the first time in 20 years and passed out and and they had to get him off there like wow yeah wow like it popped in sense of smell holy [ __ ] what is this thing went to the ground had to find somebody else I don’t know that’s what I heard so anyway sorry yes so fluff count it’s official folks BTY here bringing us it’s not official breaking news I heard breaking news he passed out and they got some big huge guy named uh I have his name here Canadian fan named Paul Emerson from the from the uh crowd and Paul Emerson ends up finishing the round for CT pay did he catch did he cash a check how does that work does does fluff get the money like how does that work I’m sure he gave him like a little tip must have to do the right thing who was the guy that stiffed his caddy in Bahamas or whatever oh cooch yeah I was going to say he didn’t cooch him that was at uh Maya Koba back when they still had that there you don’t think he coed him yeah Kim Jong Hill uh says he’s glad that Rory didn’t win on Sunday and then we got C Barn guys North Pole Willie don’t know what North Pole Willie is but he doesn’t either apparently not we’re we’re trying here we’re trying now the uh the other thing is Aaron Ryan Rory hit on the top 20 last week so I had a little parlay with them I was talking about Aaron Ry how uh the two gloves and the iron covers and all that good stuff yeah yeah yeah and then breaking news folks breaking news I wasn’t going to talk about it until I felt comfortable enough about this is that Rory maroy and Amanda balionis are all but confirmed Folks at this point it was a not so normal hug after his interview on Sunday little rubbing on the back action and then TMZ ran with this so we’re not the first ones to talk about it but I will say know some fans that were there in person some of them took some photos they said they overheard that Rory said to her during the hug Domino’s Netflix and chill question mark to which she responded absolutely I heard okay I heard that she that he dressed her up as a Domino’s delivery driver after okay sorry again real good in the interviews from here on out as long as he sponsored by Domino’s he he should be what in the he loves Domino’s yes which we’re here at the best pizza place in Arizona Trevor’s liquor in arcade Dave pornoy 8.2 with the one bite challenge so guys get down here to Trevor get that cheese pizza it is absolutely phenomenal I’ve had it numerous times down here and uh oh Hey Jude we need some more dude I keep getting everybody coming out of the bathroom looking right at me yeah they’re they’re eyeballing you dude they’re eyeballing you now with the entire Rory Amanda balonus thing doino’s the Domino’s conspiracy why does this make sense why don’t you go with this one first why does this make sense I don’t know who I don’t really know much about Amanda balionis but she must like guys that are made out of cardboard because Rory strikes me is about the most boring human being that on the planet of Earth outside of the golf course I’ve watched him throw a baseball uh I’ve watched him do a lot of stuff outside at golf and he just looks like a super closed off dork so if that’s what she’s into outside of the fact that he’s one of the wealthiest golfers to ever play the game um there you go it makes sense for Rory because she’s gonna be at every tournament yeah so does that make sense for Rory though yeah because he doesn’t have to worry like she’s never going to complain you’re playing too much golf she’s going to be like nightm Rory playing more tournaments we I I want a bang would see I go the other way with it would you really want your significant other uh on site every week not not over a long stretch of time but I will say this I will say this it’s fun when it’s new and exciting so that’s why Rory’s got his game back right now Manda Bonas you think he goes down you think he starts following like this tiger path here where he kind of goes through her and then there’s another one and I don’t know do you think that’s in Rory’s carard oh it’s absolutely is he a player it’s up for debate for sure okay I mean the little Irishman he’s got some ABS so lady dig the ABS he does yeah yeah some dig the dad bods like us so there we go now you think I got a dad bot I have a dad bod dude thanks man that’s actually like a compliment yeah hell yeah thanks dude we work out [ __ ] yeah sort of yeah we just have one packs we drink and eat food too though unfortunately we like living we like we like life yeah so that’s pretty cool I’ll still oil up though yeah every once in a while which is fun anyways now leaderboard rundown here we got Ben Griffin once again finishing second I think this is like his third second place over the past year so he was at 15 under so close to winning Victor Perez at 14 under uh dude it was a shootout Sunday was a shootout Sunday well Bobby McIntyre came into the round four or yeah four shot lead I made a note here about Sunday hang on a sec what did I say I’m going to keep running down the leaderboard here so Tom Kim and Rory maroy minus 13 now I got a question for you that I throughout to the Twitter sphere and I asked him I go who would you rather have under immense pressure coming down on Sunday would you rather have Tom cim or Rory mroy and I have an answer to this that I feel strongly about but I’d love to get your take I think you’re going to go Tom Kim I think you’re going to go Kim but I’m going Rory I mean he’s he’s just got more more skin more more skin in the game more time spent uh excuse me under that kind the heat there’s two um yeah I go Rory so I got Tom Kim and here’s why knew you would because if you’ve watched Tom Kim play final rounds when he gets locked in the guy doesn’t miss he’s got an intangible that I don’t think we’ve really seen like he doesn’t waver there’s no there’s no pressure he just goes it is what it is and he starts going after flag sticks and he makes putts and it’s like holy [ __ ] Tom Kim’s on it when he when he before he won his first tournament on tour he was playing in the Scottish open and that’s when I noticed it because he was too far back he was like seven or eight shots back and goes out and shoots like a 62 yeah and just I’m like holy [ __ ] this kid has that it Factor coming down on a Sunday to where he is clutch yeah and sure enough when he won his tournament forget exactly which tournament it is that he won but that Sunday he was Unstoppable you you so how old is Tom Kim he’s in his 20 early like 24 23 something like that yeah so so you’re seeing something that that he looks like a concrete wall on Sunday that can’t be bothered is what you’re saying that’s kind of is that what we’re saying there remember Jordan spe before hold 12 at Augusta National oh those were the days and how he had like that Moxy like the only guy that ever ran him down in a tournament was the PGA that Jason day won oh he was like a basically like a like Scotty Sheffer is now before then he was the guy not quite the ball Striker but he could pot he poted lights he used to make everything but he had that Moxy you know the intangible that you can’t really put into words but it’s just something that they have and you think Rory has hit the fail even though he’s been there more you think he’s hit the fail button so many times and not Clos that you would take K I mean look at look at the tournaments that Rory has lost in coming second the Open Championship to cam Smith yeah um look at I mean there’s numerous that’s why I’m saying there’s a ton yeah I mean when Rory has break coming when Rory has a day like what he had at um be careful with this so continuing through the leaderboard we figure this out we got Cory Connor um the he finished the best out of the Canadians good old 12 under then we’ve got mavi mcney McKenzie Hughes and Ryan Fox all finishing up at 10 under and then Chandler Phillips he loves to hunt Keith Mitchell he loves cashmir Joel Damon loves big hats and Sam Burns loves mullets and they all nine under chased on Sunday they all chased they were all they all had nobody fell off they all played really well uh Mo but Bobby showed that uh good old four shot lead he was going to hang on to that bad boy as the uh those things that fly in the sky those drones oh yeah it was almost like like maybe he’s never seen one I don’t know what it it was the sound that was getting to him and I think it was getting a little too close to him but he got pissed but what’s funny is even as he’s pissed off calling in unofficial decides to go ahead and hit anyways sticks it he’s stuck it till like 8T so so yeah so you you know wound tight that guy you could say that the Drone won the tournament for him wound tight now a quick word from our sponsor swanes is here with a fresh take performance-based materials are a given these days but if you’re looking for the stretchiest and most lightweight pieces that deliver a look that says I’m here for a good time take a walk on the swanie side with fabric Source from recycled Plastics and Designs sourced from our very own Weekend Warriors Swan is looking out for both our planet and those that need a little style to boost their drive another 15 yards premium looks from top to bottom at Swan doco so let’s talk about the longest day in golf how about it little segue there love that sorry we’ve got uh US Open qualifiers and there were 13 sites in total okay the best one that I saw or the most dramatic one that I saw was Cam Davis and Adam Scott in a playoff I sent this over to you did you see that playoff oh no he didn’t see it talk to me I mean I I love that I’m hearing it for the first time though right now so they T the first hole but then on the second playoff hole Adam Scott and by the way Adam Scott currently has 91 ma straight major championship appearances holy 91 straight that is such an accomplishment right so Adam Scott goes Rachel got him so Adam Scott goes and chips in CU he’s off the green and Cam Davis is about 15 20 feet away Adam Scott chips in so clutch and gives like one of those fist pumps like one of the awkward ones to Like Nobody’s around Nobody’s around but it’s like yeah I got to give a fist only Adam Scot do that and then Cam Davis decides [ __ ] your 91 consecutive appearances drops the 20 foot birdie putt to push into the third playoff hole oh and then Cam Davis sticks it not watch this on the third playoff hole Adam Scott is just off the green pots it misses the pot and sure enough Cam Davis knocks in his birdie to knock Adam scottt out of the US Open he is the first alternate though out of that group somebody he’s going to be paying somebody to make somebody sick you know what’s crazy and I got to get to 100 right I would imag like how do you how do you not protect this this is an America like this is a it’s Monumental you got to protect this guy it’s Monumental you got to protect him uh but apparently he’s on the outskirts right now because he’s not playing in the memorial either so the Memorial tournament that’s up coming Adam Scott is not in it as of right now he did not get a sponsor’s exemption either and it is a signature series event which this is his last chance to get in other than somebody dropping out of the US how old is Adam Scott I hate to I I know I always ask you how old there are but like I I do that as a gauge like is this guy on the way out is it yeah he’s he’s he’s the Twilight of the career he’s now in his 40s so yeah so but his swing is still so goddamn good he does not lack length no he does not and speaking of playoffs Mr playoff himself Harry H PS who won back-to-back corn fairy tour events in playoffs he ends up getting into a playoff to get into the US Open in the final qualif Harry Hicks Harry Hicks he’s really proven himself to be Mr playoff I think we could he’s like the type of guy that probably do it well he was on Smiley’s podcast he’s got like he’s dealing with like a cancer thing on his face that I was going to say is that what that was yeah that’s what that was or he get in a fight with a beaver could be a beaver okay but we’re just going to go with the fact that uh yeah he did that what’s in that what is that what what whisky in there oh here we go bti will you grab me that whiskey International okay so this is the international oldfashioned so if somebody comes here cuz I’m going to rate this okay oh it smells like cinnamon let’s see what we got is that what it is okay oh dear God folks this has some and I’m a big cinnamon fan so this is popular oh and it’s got the ice Cube that says Trevor in it this is classy this is classy Cheers Cheers Jude cheers buty damn [ __ ] microphone’s trying to get me to do something to get out of here sorry oh that’s tasty that’s good is it like ging that’s good that’s really I give it a thumb so I’m GNA say this I am going to go with a 7.8 on that one 7.8 on the international oldfashioned that thing is fantastic love that that’s a high score that’s a big score that’s a big score thanks Jude holy [ __ ] that’s delish do you mind if I try it go for it cool have at it wow I I keep so but’s tooth is doing all right Trot golfer yeah you’re about to get infected though I’m going to put it up in this I might end up can you pass it this is something for like Kim Jong in Kim J contagious Kim Jong would know this cuz he’s got the right like people around him cuz he’s dead um but Kim Jong can you actually that tastes like gingerbread pass a tooth infection from one side to the next isn’t that delicious not from one side can does it pass from person to person person to person come here let pop your abscess man but uh no it’s down now it’s antibiotics [ __ ] two weeks ain’t been [ __ ] right the whole time anyways yeah he’s going to be all right we’ll be okay he he’s here which is huge wow yeah thanks man no I missed you I I mean it I mean it in a way that is very much like I was I was depressed last week because I’m like oh we don’t get to do it together we don’t get the ban laying in bed literally when you go live right to kind of make to do the makeup show right CU I bailed and the whole thing went to [ __ ] and I see cuz I really only watch YouTube at night like I only watch Rogan and a bunch of weird like you know Antarctica [ __ ] which we’ll get into that later but I see the live notification come up and it’s like the tears just start running and like I almost did like a selfie video like hey you out there in the cold missing the Pod tonight cuz I got a botomy anyway botomy with the tooth things I got a botomy you hate to see it I hate to see it man down I love that we start getting a little loose about 35 minutes oh we’re golf for said he goes butsy was sad last week he missed you and I missed him was he sad no you were sad no he said you were sad oh I was sad said butsy he was sad oh yeah he’s right were both s there needs to be a comma after butsy you ever seen the movie ET where they’re like you know philanthropically connected and et’s laying in that stream that’s how I felt and then all of a sudden my fingers lit up deed and I was like that was Matt right there anyways and I think I was so thrown off that that’s why I was so off with the cadd gossip because I haven’t gotten into the caddy gossip in so long yeah that’s I’m blaming it on that but live Gulf had a rough showing out there on the longest day only three players out of like 30 30 attempt Advanced and qualifying now there’s a lot of people like anti- live out there anti- that’s what I was saying it’s a qual it’s a one day qualifier for 36 holes yeah it’s like that is brutal who’s the guy that won that went and played no is is it a good look for Liv golf no of course not but doesn’t mean that live golf was weak it sucks whatever no yeah but what’s the diss there yeah live golfers you suck you can’t even get through qualifiers I think the disc is something we’ll get into when we get into the live uh category but no I’m I I’m saying that it is partially that these guys have so much time that they’re not playing that it’s like it’s tough to keep your game in shape you’re not sharp we’re seeing it with Tiger Woods right now right yeah I he only plays once every couple months I I explain this to people and they don’t a lot of people don’t believe it I actually used to play competitive golf uh pretty well and hey you got game well the time that it was the best was when you were doing it it like I remember when I was a junior and I’m not going to get off on a whole tangent here maybe I am but you teat up every Monday in a different tournament and it was week to week to week and by the fourth or fifth weekend you’re pretty sharp you’re rolling you’re in a routine you get up to one you pump down there you’re you get comfortable yeah you’re like you’re doing that and then you stop and like I I have a huge respect for dudes that try to chase the prej tour or professional golf in general that don’t have the ability to play week to week and play against guys that do and overcome that they’re they’re that’s crazy and it was funny today because anti live thought that I was defending live golf in these golfers I’m like no I’m defending the fact that it is tough to qualify when you go to qualifier if you are defending him who gives a [ __ ] well that’s the other thing too but no I wasn’t defending him because yeah it is a bad look defend on live golf but the three players that got through in qualifying from live golf is Eugenio jakara good old Dean bermas and David P say the first one again that’s a household D I’ve heard a lot about Yano Shakara okay Shakara I think you rolled the Ys I took a lot of Spanish big big Mexico fan love Mexico okay let’s keep it moving keep it grooving folks um and by the way keep in mind too that the guy who finished second in Canada last week did not qualify and the winner on the PGA tour from two weeks ago or like just over a week ago at the Charles Schwab challenge Davis Riley he didn’t qualify either so does that all of a sudden make the PGA Tour week no that’s what’s so tough about golf you could have tiger I mean you could have Prime tiger show up at a golf course where a local stick has like a home field advantage and could have beat him on on any given day of golf so I’ll tell you guys a quick story about this because you’re spot on when I played on the butch arm in Vegas tour there was a guy who lived in Vegas lived in Vegas his entire life went to UNLV I believe and sure enough had played every golf course that we had played there and was the top Money winner of the but har and Vegas tour like he won like every single season but every single time he Advanced because we used to have the sponsor exemptions he had to travel he had to go and play in the PJ Tour event like the John Deere classic and he couldn’t break 80 no but every golf course that he was super comfortable with on the butch arm and Vegas tour would win it no problem it it it you got I call that environment guys so like when I graduated high school and we I was playing junior golf week to week you know there plus plus playing High School golf you had all these dudes that went on and we’re on a side thing here but I think it’s important it’s kind of like a lot of people that that don’t that never did that they don’t understand this so there was a lot of dudes that went on to play D1 Golf and they were the best in Arizona and then they’d show up at Kentucky and Drake and all these other places and they sat on the bench because they’re not playing Desert Golf anymore they can’t hit it in the trees they shoot 85 when there’s pine trees it’s soft out the ball spins it’s it’s yeah so I’m with you 100% on that yeah I call them environment guys there’s guys that are really good in certain environments and if they can’t get it done in all of them that which speaks even more to the PJ tour and the ability to get it done all over the place completely agree I think anybody that and here’s the thing I think they deep down know it they’re just trying to troll on live golf which is fine it is what it is um that being said let’s get into the US Women’s Open which by the way we don’t cover a lot of some people are going to absolutely hate this uh but before we do TR golfer you added a couple things here that I got to catch up on look at Westwood and pter they’re done yes correct they are done those guys and I’ve called live Gulf in the past a lifestyle tour cuz these guys want they’re guaranteed money they’ve they’ve earned it right they’re 100% out there no problem with that whatsoever they’re now like there for the fans for entertainment purposes and everything then we’ve got uh tro golfer said Blair is a hero I don’t know what that was in reference to Blair who yeah I’m I’m confused on that but uh and then Ryan Hog oh God local Legend yeah uh hog could play everywhere hog oh I think he’s talking about two local guys that uh you know who H is well yeah and then but I don’t know who Blair is that’s the only I don’t know Blair either I know hog very well uh who the God I know him so well that I can’t remember who CAD for Zack Blair oh you’re right Zack Blair so Zack Blair he actually if I’m not mistaken is the guy that has designed he’s a better Golf Course designer but he’ll show up at some golf courses like he played at the Phoenix open this year and played pretty damn well made the cup and not the cup the cup he made the cup made the cup Austin Winnington says I’ve lived in Florida for three years and still can’t play on Bermuda it’s a it’s a I’m telling you it’s a thing man yeah when I came out to Arizona and played gr Canan University out here I sucked for the first two years yeah there’s guys that can’t hit it don’t know how to hit it off the dirt like I could not play out of the desert at all and I hated Desert Golf to begin with now I love it yeah now it’s like dude my Ball’s sitting up in the desert this is pure it takes time to figure it out yeah yeah you got to get wide dig you learn a lot about how to hit those shots this is one of the things that I talked about with Bobby Brown about sh Kim Bobby I’m like this kid is playing all these golf courses on the PJ tour for the first time like he’s going to get used to these tracks and get really really good 100% And so I think it’s only a matter of time until somebody like him really breaks out uh so there’s a little side note there for everybody but let’s get into the US Women’s Open first of all we got to talk about somebody that uh hits close to home in your heart butsy good old Charlie Hull Charlie smoking some darts oh I think she was ripping Newports waiting for that sponsorship now I read about this yeah this is hilarious actually she started smoking darts to get off Vape Vapes are bad it’s supposed to be the other way around it really the pendulum swings every so often if you haven’t noticed they find out what the real deal is right I mean these are probably worse for you so she’s like I got to do something I got oral fixation I guess I’ll just start ripping sigs and uh signing autographs good old darts and she’s SM she’s smoking right in front of kids oh they got the it looked like something it looked like like an image from 50 years years ago like if they would have made that black and white that would have looked like uh Nancy Lopez smoking a cigarette like the best part is after that week sure enough she’s there at the US openin with like Nelly Corda and a couple others and they’re cracking up looking at the phone of all the memes and everything that were going on they absolutely loved it um and so she finished t19 by the way is she the female John Daly no you don’t think so no no she no that chick’s into fitness and she just smokes she smokes on the golf course that’s it she she is not she’s not killing diet Ain coming out there drinking Diet Cokes showing up with a bottle of uh Bader half drank before she gets to the tea eating McDonald’s like that ain’t happening tro golfer says butsy sister could be could be cuz you get in the gym you keep it fit who you oh I I definitely in the gym this morning I was but uh I like food I like food and then Kim Jong El’s back he loves female golfers he says Nelly cter missed the cut at the US Women’s Open we’re going to get to that Kim Jong you calm yourself for a moment we’re going to get there now this golf tournament took place at a phenomenal club called Lancaster Country Club I don’t know anything about the golf course oh my gosh it’s a fantastic Club one of my buddies who I play actually the craftiest man alive you’ve met him played golf with him at Mountain Shadows oh my God the wizard yep the craftiest man guy was like playing with a from Lancaster and some of his buddies cadd for girls out there this week he was like playing with a real life cartoon it is it really is like craftiest man in the life and he’s not playing a part he’s not faking it he just is that guy he’s that guy and I love it like there’s so much authenticity to that dude he I really I’d love to go play golf with him again oh we’re going to we have to but he’s injured right now what happened he gets a summer injury once a year and he actually smashed his foot into a card I believe and see I thought he fell off a unicorn in Narnia yeah it could have happened but Nick Nick novitzki says Amish Country absolutely when if you notice the chairs that we were sitting in at weop paaw those were Amish chairs that Jed Morgan Family made directly from Lancaster that was great and then tro golfer says the track needs to host a men’s US Open pretty pure it is pretty pure the yardage would be the one long no so that’s the only thing that would hold it back but I think they can trick it out enough like Maran when they did that for the US Open to where that would actually make a lot of sense um but yeah Lancaster Country Club absolutely phenomenal track tough tough conditions a lot of the women were complaining that it was too difficult which means it’s a US Open just had this crazy idea this is going to sound so dumb but what if the PJ tour did artificial te’s like okay we like this venue but it’s not long enough and there’s room we’re not going to ask the grounds crew to completely grow and turf a tea box for us we’re having a tournament there in three months what if they started putting like an artificial tea 40 yards back on this hole 10 yards back like on this part three like you think people would go for that no because it’s not real grass you would have the if you’re driver like if it’s a driver hole like you don’t think they would do that no never happen no all right sorry dumb idea it’s okay no it’s not a dumb idea it’s just would it would it work probably not yeah like can we Institute this because we want to play this golf course there’s only a couple holes that we need to lengthen to make it valid I don’t know that’s a good point I don’t know no it’s a good point I’m going to call Jay called Jay which we’re going we’re going to get into that next with the good old Jay Monahan cuz there was some stuff that’s not in The Accidental segue accidental segue however we’re not quite there yet okay so it’s a US Open because the women were complaining like crazy way too difficult of a golf course of course it is it’s a US effn Open okay that’s the way it should be $12 million purse by the way what won it $12 million purse what won it what was low Yuka Sasso at I just pulled her rookie card autog yesterday too I think no she won by three so four under so because the next one closest to her was one under so that’s and then everybody was even or over so that means it was an accurate test of golf for a US Open track yeah and here’s the thing Yuka Sasso she’s 22 years old from Japan this is her second time winning a US Open so clearly if you’re a gambler out there pay attention because she loves difficult golf courses she’s probably not one of these people people Spencer LaVine comes to mind when I spenc come because he always made cuts and was really good in US opens but then if you got him on to like a regular PGA Tour event he just couldn’t hack it CU he couldn’t make that many birdies there’s some guys and women that they can play very difficult golf courses and make a [ __ ] ton of pars and then drop in the occasional birdie however you get them on a regular track and they just can’t make a [ __ ] ton of birdies gotta and that’s what a normal Tour event normally is interesting so yuk casasso wins for the second time and she won by three over her fellow Japanese player hanako shabono yep there you go that’s how you say it in the National tongue that’s the national tongue folks Yeah man they tell you say it dude it is and then Kim Jong to your point Nelly Corda did not make the cut she rised it for the biscuit have you guys seen this Tick Tock video that the LPGA Tour put out you I said it to you you saw it you were dying yes so she’s elaborate she just she’s in a press conference and she’s like you got to risk it for the biscuit and she starts cracking up in the middle of saying it cuz she knows how ridiculous that sounds yeah but she really did risk it and she did not get the biscuit for the biscuit because she a 10 on her third hole of the opening round 10 everybody was talking about it in the gym we just like holy [ __ ] did you see Nelly Corda make a 10 how did it add up to 10 I didn’t see the actual performance what what happened so she hit too much Club hit it into a back bunker she’s up against like the back lip but apparently there was a leaf underneath she skulls just turbo skulls it right into the stream the water so then she’s got to drop from there hits a couple more bad chips and it went back and forth and it just was not not good just pinging pinging ping a 10 10 on a par three not good so she’s done after her opening round she shot an 80 not good missed the cut and that’s all we got for the US Women’s Open recap folks I do like the women’s golf coverage I know a lot of people hate it but it’s not like it’s not like other sports right Kim Jong Hill I am so shocked right now I’m so sorry butene but this is shocking become because Kim Jong ill on Twitter just shits on the women all the time but he apparently watched he goes 12th hole was a nightmare for the players I can’t I can’t [ __ ] on women’s golf it’s not like a performance sport like women’s football or basketball where where strength is the advantage of men the the the ability to hit a golf shot yeah they don’t put as much spin on it and it doesn’t go as far typically by by a little less of a percentage especially for the top players but their ability to golf their ball like they’re good dude and they’ll beat the [ __ ] out of you on a golf course they will from two T’s up they will or even probably from your tea hitting three wood into the green when you’re hitting eight iron they will still beat the out of you this is a good one and I want to throw this out to everybody on Twitter as well as YouTube Austin Winnington wants to know anyone else crushing on Charlie Hull I we can’t go there yeah we can I you can no no hang on hang on hang on cuz you know where that ends well for every guy you know what I mean going to be let down for every guy that is crushing uh well I want to hear is anybody else crushing on Charlie hle we’ll leave that one there for a minute go ahead and chime in at it to the comments you said okay you didn’t we we will let you guys chime in if you are crushing on Charlie whole because she is becoming a quick Legend no she’s becoming a quick Legend love that but as we’re waiting on more people to chime in on Charlie Hull if you’re crushing on her or not uh we’re going to move into the upcoming Memorial Tournament because we got to keep it moving keep it grooving Kim Jong Hill says no not crushing on Charlie Hull I wonder why Kim Jill no yeah just no there’s no followup to that whatsoever but the upcoming Memorial it is a signature event folks and it is a signature event with a cut which means it’s $20 million I know people don’t like talking about the money but you got to talk about the money right it’s about the money so $20 million limited field and last year this is what started the run for Victor hovin he won at Memorial ended up leading to him winning the FedEx Cup towards the end of the year and he won in a playoff over none other than Denny McCarthy the best best putter on the PJ tour and I can say that because cam Smith is now on live golf he left left spot spot was open Denny McCarthy course information here we’re obviously playing mirfield is Victor is he there is he back he’s back so he think he’s back I do because here’s the thing PJ Championship man he ended up coming into that week almost with Drew almost won the damn thing because he went back to Mayo they went back to his original fundamentals in his golf swing and all of a sudden he found it again okay so got completely away from all the changes he was trying to make with the other instructors let’s [ __ ] right back to what he does best this worked really well for a long time what are we doing let’s just make some more putts and do what we do let’s get more consistent with it stupid yeah stupid me you played one of the best back Nines in the history during the fatex cup run so why not I mean shooting 20 a come on so you can’t blame him for tinkering because well dude I mean there might be an efficiency there but like I don’t know I’ve never seen anybody I guess I I could say that I’ve never seen anybody come out that showed dominance and started being brilliant and then right at the peak they win they they they do well ooh some [ __ ] comes along and starts coaching them says we can squeeze more efficiency out of this we got to change some things you’re right there and then it always goes downhill it it is damaged more careers than it’s ever held well dude it happened like tiger probably would and I hate to you know he he probably would have won more yeah he had would happened if he would have just stayed with Butch his whole career oh my God he would having a different conversation way different conversation I would I stand that I would guarantee that yes yep he changes golf swing 18 times luckily he was so talented that he could still use a [ __ ] move to win but the one that was was the best was with Butch the elastic tall steep yeah the butch swing it was so good it’s the only one I like watching when I look watch old Tiger videos you can literally tell you like see a tiger video come up and you be like y That’s when he was with Haney it’s [ __ ] right there yep and then tro golfer throws in look at the amount of money Victor won with mayo and he left shows you how likable Mayo might be so I mean Mayo is a great instructor he I believe he’s up in Vegas and he is more of a short game Wizard in my mind than he is a full swing guy but he is now Victor’s complete instructor right now that’s his coach I don’t know who this is by the way who’s Mayo he is a golf instructor in I gathered that much but but he’s come onto the scene he’s worked with some pros and like where did he hail from how did he get popular it’s a good question how do these guys pop up so in normally happens when you start working with a tour pro and if that tour pro has success so look at Mark Blackburn for instance really started with maxom right now he’s the number one instructor by Golf Digest because really Butch isn’t in there anymore according to Golf Digest but in my mind Butch is still number one that’s so yeah I just that whole rating I don’t know anyways yeah keep it moving keep it grooving yes mirfield Village is the golf club obviously designed by Jack Nicholas this is his gem it’s in Ohio it’s Hometown I mean par 72 stretches out to 7569 in terms of yardage notable holes at Memorial so these are the ones to watch out for folks hole number four it’s Par 3 200 yards hole 12 another par three 184 hole 14 is a par 4 363 so on the shorter side we’ve got hole 16 this is the best one in my opinion okay hole 16 is the par 3 20101 with the water almost all the way around it elevation changes are the big thing with so you cover it you’re fine if you cover it you’re fine and then whole 18 that par 4 484 lot of guys make pars there there’s a lot of bogeys there too would you say that par 3s make or break golf tournaments yes they are the decid they they are the deciding factor those tend to be yeah I I would say so because a lot of can play the par fives you can ruin around though on one of those par 3es on good par 3s at golf courses it can make or break your golf round I would like to look at the stats on that cuz I bet the guys that play the part 3es the best do the best yeah I I actually agree with maybe that’s like a idiot point maybe everybody knows that but that’s yeah that’s what’s going through my slightly buzzed mind right now then we’ve got a field analysis here so it is a signature event so you got the top 40 in the official world golf rankings outside of the few that are still at live golf right John ROM is still I think number seven in the world if I’m not mistaken Brooks Kea is within the top 40 but outside of those guys you’ve got sheffler Xander Rory Windam hoveland oberg hor hakawa I put hakawa here morawa U about morawa Patrick Klay Max hom and there’s a lot more too that are in this golf tournament I mean this is the biggest event outside of some of the majors um that we’re going to experience because it’s Jack’s tournament who doesn’t want to be there Bobby McIntyre cuz he withdrew he’s like I’m pounding booze this week screw Jack screw Jack Nicholas on this one Bobby said absolutely I’m done with this so Bobby McIntyre withdraws outside of that you got the top players in the world here’s the betting OD you ready for this cuz we’re going to get into our picks here second betting odds Scotty sheffler I’m not prepared for that number one at plus 360 Scotty struggling with h being a dad a little bit said he’s just being a a cheerleader being trying to be supportive of the wife has no idea what he’s doing he said that in the press conference today I’m sure he doesn’t yeah didn’t say the FW he also said that the whole arrest is uh something that he doesn’t think is going to go away for a long time even though the charges were dropped it’s messing with them mentally oh like just having to have gone through that sit having to go through that yeah Scotty you’ll be fine get over it then we got Rory mooy and Xander schafle at plus 900 now Xander came out and I want to talk about this for a second since we’re talking about Xander he made some pretty harsh comments about J Maham and how he is not a like when everything was going down he wasn’t the face of the PGA Tour saying everything that it he ended up putting it on the players to say and like Justin Thomas Rory mroy and Rory really was the one that was the face of the entire thing right so Xander had some pretty harsh comments about the leadership of Jay Monahan not about Jay Monahan as a person but as a leader what do you think about that given his role and and he said that J like they need a new leader that is going to give them a definitive answer as to what the future looks like for professional golf uh the best way I could put it this is probably going to come out a little obtuse but feel like Jay Monahan is like the Anthony fouchy of the PGA Tour like he said a bunch of this [ __ ] and then that [ __ ] really wasn’t that [ __ ] it wasn’t true and went back on and then he used a lot of people and uh put people in bad spots I I just think Jay full is [ __ ] at this point I I think yeah I I don’t think he’s got the players best interest in mind and I think the players are finally starting to realize that and um that comaraderie is gone no faith is left in J Monahan it’s definitely dwindled especially with the departure I don’t know who’s left who’s still a j fan and loves like loves everything he’s about and well here’s the thing who’s still drinking that all the guys like Jay as a person but it’s becoming to the point to where they don’t like him as a leader anymore and that’s where IAL because I talked to numerous Pros that were very proj Monahan up until the recent departure of what’s his face off of the board like you just said as as a person he’s probably fine no he’s a great guy yeah like as a human he’s probably fine I and I doubt but as a leader I have to agree with Ander and I’ve been very critical of Jay during the entire thing and I think Kim Jong-il I think you’re right I think because Kim Jong just said Jimmy dun thank you Nick novitzki Jimmy dun when he left threw J Monahan under the bus by saying that it was Jay’s direction to go meet with Liv even though Jay told everybody all the players that that they did that on their own they did that independently of his own leadership which again Jay Monahan I think he should resign Kim jungil said that he should resign I think they need a new leader in place and I agree with Xander that they need somebody that is just going to say hey this is what we’re doing we’re moving it Forward keeping it grooving and that’s it but play Devil’s Advocate there like put anybody and I’m I’m not a Jay fan by any means but put anybody in Jay’s shoes with the Advent of live and how to tolerate it I mean you’re kind of moving as the weeks go on and and things are changing rapidly I I don’t know like what what could have been done better than how he did like how would you have done it differently oh god I’ve talked about this so literally I would have done everything differently and you don’t but you don’t have the information that he had like that’s there’s a big gray area here yeah but hang on a second it’s a PR move that you do not feed into a narrative and give attention to somebody that everybody doesn’t know when all of that went down and he drew the Line in the Sand and said if you’re going to leave for live go if you’re going to get suspended he should have just he should have worked with them foro that was dumb that was stupid and he all of a sudden the media and he started getting everybody that was on their side to talk [ __ ] about the Saudis and about live golf and all he did which anybody in Hollywood would tell you bad publicity is good publicity sure because your name is being talked about live golf was being talked about constantly and that was the entire narrative for everything going on on the PGA tour was what’s going to happen with Liv golf oh Liv golf is bad oh it’s coming from the Saudis oh 911 all this stuff was feeding the narrative and building up I I heard there was also uh a deeply rooted personal thing with Greg Norman oh of course like that that was a huge well that’s why they didn’t want to talk to them in the first place correct like Greg’s in charge he tried to do this in 1996 or whatever it was 96 was it yeah wow my brain serves me well sometimes God I actually remember that he tried to have a new tour come in and take over for the PJ tour and pick up for essentially improved the product for the downfalls that he saw and they hated him for it and he’s been hated ever since J it’s like a long time gang Jay did no I it was poorly managed I’m saying but if you were if you were in issues like would you maybe have up too no because no no I I wouldn’t have because curious I I don’t know I don’t know one I would not mention it at all as if that it just didn’t exist I would ignore it and I would just let it not get any publicity whatsoever on my watch then on top of that I Pro I’m not the type that has a huge ego to where I’m going to sit there and go because you can’t come back I have bad blood with Greg Norman I’m not going to entertain what’s going on here I’m going to I’m going to uh completely excommunicado any player that Associates themselves with that you got to keep the lines of communication open and I wouldn’t have drawn A Line in the Sand I’ve I said that from the very beginning I was very ad ofate I would have said good luck dude but like you’re more than welcome to play uh in our tournaments you know if you guys for as long as you choose to PJ tour Pros that want to play in it go for it come play yeah yeah we don’t care no they let’s let them fail on their own we don’t need to help them by yeah and which they have done exactly they that’s what that’s the whole point of what you’re saying yeah I got you yeah it’s uh so Jay has not done a great job during this entire thing and I said that for the longest of times and it’s just like man it because they even I do believe that Phil went to him Phil Mickelson and said hey we should look into this and he’s just like no no we’re we’re fine we’re doing our own thing and wouldn’t even look at doing like a team event or Signature Events or anything like that really wasn’t until Liv that these Signature Events obviously became a thing so it’s all retroactive which if you know any good Le leaders they’re normally proactive and that’s my kind of take on Jay Monahan and I know that the players that have talked highly of him are pissed at him right now they they’re out yeah yeah they’re no longer in full support of J Monahan and how could they be how could they be yeah what has transpired even the most devout has to jump ship at some point yeah then we got Colin Mora who’s been playing great at plus4 1400 Victor hoveland at plus 18800 LV oberg and Patrick Canley at plus 2500 where’s my guy nap Justin Thomas at plus 3,000 I don’t know actually he’s too far down Tommy Fleetwood at plus 3500 maama and hom at plus 4500 Windam Burns and Henley at plus 5,000 Tom Kim theala Fitzpatrick spe and Connors at plus 5500 butsy what’s your pick this is tough I’m going to go on a speed that’s it okay I’m it it’s been a long time coming it’s time for a return okay time for a return to Greatness maybe we see a breakthrough is that a gut feeling that’s just like it’s a uh yeah no I feel like we just haven’t heard from spe and while and uh you want to see it yeah it’s like back in the day let’s go back like 15 years or not even was it 12 years it’s like a Joff Ogie situation where like all of a sudden he showed up out of nowhere and uh Brilliance shined again so I’m going with speed okay now tro goer wants to know can speed stay away from the doubles maybe not but if like this might be the Resurgence this might be the week that holy [ __ ] two days goes by in the tournament and and we see this guy either leading by three or a couple back yeah that’s fair um I’m not going spith okay I am going with the guy that I’ve been very high on lately and that is Colin morawa I think Colin morawa is going to have himself a week I don’t even know what his past performances at Memorial have been but the way that he’s hitting the golf ball I got a feel Collins going to play pretty well and even if the putter fails this isn’t a tournament that people go super deep so I like Colin morawa this week you think he’s just going to hit laser beams all week and that’s going to carry him through I think ball striking ball striking okay all right very cool all right moving into the swanie style segment once again that winner of the Swan $250 giveway is Zane Davidson this one this is the one that uh when I played in the Ryder Cup style event this was one of our team shirts so you know who picked this shirt out pissed off Paul that looks like a pissed off Paul shirt yeah pissed off PA pissed off Paul if you’re watching right now get a rock out dude I I I paired the teal with the purple because he took the shoe off you’re flexing so hard right now it’s here’s the thing oh god well we’re going to talk about this this is part of the swanie style segment so what’s your take on the Jordan one mules cuz these are the Jordan one mules that is not I would never put that on my foot I really wouldn’t it’s not a slide on Jordan I think is a travesty to the brand but that’s only because it’s not for me I would look dumb in it here’s the thing I thought the same thing originally with the golf mules right yeah and they brought out the North Carolina colored ones first and then I think they did one other color and then they brought these out which by the way just going to show these one more time these have like multiple colors they kind of look like Saved by the Bell kind of style little Jamaica little fruit to them so well they are dude they got like zigzag and Loud Jamaica color no it’s like it’s like sa by the Bel get I get it but I got them tro golfer says awful anti says do not drink from that shoot yuck I’m not drinking from are you kidding me like he asked me my opinion it’s just a no for me so I got them it’s a middle eastern moccasin with a Nike Swoosh on it when I saw this thing I go this would be the perfect dog walking shoe fresh prins there we go troc goer got it it’s just like the Fresh Prince a b air remember when he turned his jacket inside out his school jacket yeah that’s what they look like and so anyways I bought these because and by the way they sold out almost immediately which I’m like holy [ __ ] of course they did okay interesting to knobs well I’m a knob you no you’re not you’re not you’re not you’re not but but you might be a figure head for him here’s the thing the I’m the leader I’m the leader of the knobs you are the knob captain no because when I go to take my dog outside I’ve got a million shoes and I wanted to slide on the shoes to take my dog out for a walk in you’re a hype guy so you see something and you don’t give a you’re like that’s a new [ __ ] I need to have it well I and that’s why you have them no no there was actually a reason because my wife has cut me off what because we’re moving and we got to pay for all these expenses no this this has been my life lately is what’s happening so I’m like honey I’m buying a pair of Jordans because I’ve been in a Jordan band she goes if if another a Jordan band yeah she goes if if another pair of up you are not getting laid for a month and I’m like I like never mind I’m never going to order another pair and then I’m like honey I got to get these and I made a deal I was like you know you should done do you want a million sneakers by the door or do you want one pair they are cool I’m just hating there like I’m just jealous cuz I don’t have them here’s the thing they’re awesome for walking the dong in the morning and this is the first time I’ve actually warned them in public outside of walk in the dog so there you have it okay I’ll probably never first of all they should not be golf shoes you could never wear these on the golf course they’re golf they’re not actually golf they’re golf no they are they have the golf souls and it says golf on that’s a travesty you’re you you cannot wear a shoe that has no heel on it to play golf correct that is the dumbest [ __ ] so these are strictly a collectible show a showman they’re literally for walking the dog they are not called they the soul does not say dog Walker do we still have show notes oh God go get back into it I thought we were [ __ ] now that’s my favorite part I love when we get to the end and we just let it fly no this was part of the Swan style I’m Sorry by I’m going to skip the rest of the Swan style segment I’m going to move that to next week just because uh we’re a little long in the tooth um okay here we go folks upcoming live GF Houston and this was actually pretty funny butsy I did this entire segment last week thinking and I even posed a question to Twitter I’m like are you guys watching live Gulf tomorrow right it was it’s it’s this week got it not My Brightest moment but I went to live golf’s website and I just never looked at the dates I just assumed it’s been three weeks that’s the problem with it that is the problem with it which is our first topic here are the and this I want to cuz I know you didn’t listen to this last week what’s your opinion on the long layoffs in between events for live golf it depends on what you’re looking for out of the product if I I don’t I I don’t really actually know how to answer that I mean look watch do you lose interest no I don’t lose interest because if I turn on a live the live tour broadcast somebody out there is playing good gol it’s not like we’re watching guys like take a layoff and there’s not somebody out there that’s lighting the place on fire so there’s still good golf happening some of the best uh some of the best players that have gone over there is there’s some disappointment in their performance and you’d expect them to win everything and then even if they did you’d be like well yeah that’s cuz he’s on the tour and like they’re play I I don’t know here’s the thing though it is what it is it’s just a different product Nick novitzki agrees it’s brutal um why is it brutal because as a fan I don’t know why it’s brutal like let’s just say that let’s just say the PGA Tour because you lose interest but but you wouldn’t if you didn’t have something to compare it to if that’s just how golf was you wouldn’t be bitching but you do because the PJ tour plays every week and you’re used to hopping on your phone on Thursday but there’s no other sport that goes on these longer layoffs yeah I don’t know I mean it it’s uh it’s a product that you either love or hate and but I like it and I you could say you hate it and he could say he hates it but when it’s the layoffs but you’re still going to watch it yeah see Nick says loves the coverage and he sees a ton of shots and wish I saw more of it all that I mean that’s it so you’re yearning for for more consistency in how often they play okay that’s fair but like they know that and they don’t care they’re gonna do they’re going to do the layoffs and they’re going to you because you’re still G to watch it I just wish that they would have a truncated season that really was just around the majors that they played every single week than a major every single week than a major and just did that and then had the rest of the year off why was it designed the way it was do we have any Clarity there yes because they’re doing international travel and they want to give the guys enough time recover and everything like that it’s all over the place you just exp okay so there in I know the reasons so okay well but people need to know that that and they’re also trying to entice these guys because they’re like hey one of the pitches to them was you’re going to play less you’re going to get paid a [ __ ] ton more and you’re going to have a way better lifestyle because you’re playing less golf I get that but but the real the real issue here they’re they don’t have a West Coast Swing no they don’t have they barely have an American Swim that’s what I’m saying so you you know uh if I if I’m on live and and I don’t care how much I’m getting paid you got me jet setting all over the world I’m gonna need a couple weeks before I do that again listen I get it Kim Jong ill even says I wish Liv played more golf I mean it’s just the bottom line is people want to be able to consistently see the golf that they’re playing you know what I mean so there’s you said that you you think people are yearning just for for more I think people want more they want consistency especially with live golf maybe we see the evolution of that I think it’s going to I mean but how does that happen dude still a start by having feedback like this I mean do we start mirroring the PJ tour where we have like weekly events and they’re at you know uh not the same courses but they are playing week to week and we set up our literally our own tour I don’t mind a long layoff when it is after the season I I I think I think the plan is still ultimately that we in the part that we don’t know to integrate and and if that is the plan then you’re not going to just take up a schedule of your own that was close you’re not going to take up a schedule of your own and just say hey we’re our own tour at this point we play a week to week we play our own courses and we do our own thing I love it you’re going to plan on integrating with the PGA Tour so yeah that’s not going to happen anti says no one is yearning for live not a chance I the people are though oh they are no that’s that like myself included I I love the product I love watching those guys I like how it’s covered I just do tro goer says L players don’t even like showing up says who there’s a there’s a few though who he said them earlier he said Ian pter Lee West you think they don’t like showing up no I think they like playing golf I just don’t think they’re like that competitive anymore they’ve they’re riding off into the sunset you’re going to have a cleavage of the old dirt like those guys that inevitably fall off but as a whole as an organization as a whole most those guys are there to still be competitive and win a lot more money than they would on the PJ tour fair enough I think so let’s let’s get into the actual tournament because win this is going to happen at the golf club of Houston this is actually a former tour spot from uh it was the Houston open from 2003 to 2019 so this is a ree Jones design love Reese Jones designs um hang on a second we got some more comments here before we do dive fully into this we’ve got Austin Winnington he says I like to gamble on live way less players with a chance to win Austin where are you gambling on live go because I’ll tell you where it is right here FanDuel does not I got the app hang on these guys got live every week they’re playing I would love to gamble on live Fanatics sports book beautiful love that Fanatics sports book and then anti- said they didn’t show up for the US Open sectionals I knew that one was coming oh yeah Hard Rock bets okay cuz Austin’s there in Florida so he’s got hard rock casinos down there look dude it’s inarguable there’s still this tour with all these studs out there playing golf no matter how often they play these are still some of the best players in the world teeing it up doesn’t matter it’s still fun to watch that’s kind of my thing is that just is what it is you can take it or leave it I I don’t think they need to compete with the PGA Tour it’s more so that they’ve got some of the top guys in the world that are interesting they’re interesting personalities PJ tour misses them it’s like there guys there that racing is like this right would love to have back like F1 racing I mean like same kind of deal like that’s kind of what they’re modeled after yeah I I I’ll say that now previous winners at the uh golf club of Houston Phil mikkelson has won there Anthony Kim has won there Paul Casey’s won there Matt Jones has won there and Ian polter’s won there and I still stand by when we were at uh putting world my original prophecy that a K even though he’s on this new tour called live weird he will win this is weird and Kim Jong-il says live golf should play an event in California don’t disagree um Anthony Kim set it up I thought and people had told me leading into him going on to playing on live golf that Anthony Kim was actually training and playing a lot and apparently that’s not the case what do you mean he has made it a point that he just picked up some golf clubs once he started playing on live and wasn’t playing wasn’t practicing wasn’t grinding found a love for the game again because he started training his life and now well here’s the thing he’s grinding now but he’s grinding right now he’s refining his game Anthony Kim I I do think he’s got a shot at really contending this week oh dude he’s going to win I’m telling you maybe not this week he still got game yes and he’s going to figure it out yeah it’s only a matter of time and Grant he’s got Good Vibes here at this course and he’s grinding I think he’s going to play decent there you go I don’t think he’s going to win but I think he’s going to play decent all right key players to watch this week I said this last week when I thought live golf was happening last week but Bryson D Shambo goes from being the talk of social media after the PGA Championship yes now there’s nothing about him we live in a 5day news cycle dude dude you are absolutely right about that he goes from being like we miss Bryson he’s the best thing since sliced ham he he had he was electric uh he was a fan favorite the autograph when the guy ran away threw the ball all this and then inst like you said instantly it’s gone and we forgot that he was even a good guy and he’s a great player yep not true that dude is good really good then we got Brooks keco who’s gonna try to prove something this week and John Ram who had a terrible PGA Championship yeah I I’m just still waiting for him to show up on live I feel like ROM is an adjustment period and it’s going to take a year of him being on live to figure out the fact that you’re no longer doing that anymore wow great take great take you’re no longer this is not what that is this is this this is a new thing you you need to adjust and find a way to be dominant here and love it couldn’t agree more that is an awesome awesome take that is probably your best you’ve ever had on the show man thank you literally John ROM it is an adjustment period and it’s taking him a full year I think next year if everything Remains the Same John ROM next year will be back to being a dominant John ROM so next week we got to figure out where we’re going to do it and by the way folks thank you to our sponsor Swan golf full
