Best for your game and if you haven’t watched the shot making video uh that I filmed they posted on their channels the title’s YouTube channel I filmed with sah on this uh this past Monday talking about a lot of things it was fantastic and it was good to see him have a really
Solid week I would have liked to how how s Sy could have got out of that shot i’ never died he hit promis words right out of my mouth I the exact same thing he promised me he couldn’t hit it left anymore we learned he lost the ball left
On uh on nine today which we did not know was possible that’s tough you guys ready to get hyperbolic about Scott sheffler you know what man I had a lot of thoughts going through my head today that I was trying to trying to really you know govern I was trying to re him
Back in and TC even poured gas on the fire he’s like no maybe that’s what we’re all feeling that looked like a guy out there today guys that looked like a guy that we haven’t seen in a long time it did not look like John ROM did not
Look like col morawa it did not look like Rory mroy it did not look like Jordan spe it looked like another guy and like that’s what that’s what it used to feel like it it’s what it used to feel like watching the cat it really did
Man that’s it is just ball striking just shot after shot after shot TC I thought you put it in our slack I had even copy and pasted it you said quote Scotty is rising to The Challenge on a basis every single time would you like
To expound on that is the cat is the cat is the cat jamming up DJ’s Wi-Fi right now because I okay I guess it’s that’s a p man thing he’s getting Brian Rober his Wii that’s tough I was really cooking there for a second okay do you want to try that
Again uh did you you guys take it Absolut a total breakdown I I’m I’m afraid to do it I am I’m am a little afraid to do it and I want to put the huge qualifier on this like of course of course of course Tiger Woods was a fantastic putter like a way
Above average putter it is not the reason he was great that’s something people fall back on to say t the reason why tiger was the best was because he was a great putter no he’s the best ball stri in the world by far but also he was a crazy good
So we’re going to eliminate putting from this Scotty’s back to around around around even with putting but the ball striking is as good he’s he’s that good as an approach player he’s he doesn’t gain the same amount in distance on the field because everyone else is so long
Now he’s longer than tiger was though in like the 2006 Peak shotlink era that we have for Tiger uh and he’s more accurate than him um so again if you like subbed in Tiger’s putting for what the this current version of Scotty it would be the best player of all time
Like that’s literally what we’re talking about from what he’s producing maybe we should probably mention he was hurt this week too um I mean he’s battling a neck injury like in a pretty darn serious way uh as someone who has battled plenty of these kinds of injuries it’s it’s a it’s
Very painful and hard to play high level golf final round 64 without even putting outrageously today to go to win his second players it’s I’m I’m kind of out of words it’s just outrageous yeah here’s the context of our slack convo um first of all DJ LED into it saying I
Know that the owgr is crooked but it still doesn’t feel like it can be said enough times that the number 10 player in the world hasn’t even played in a major yet which that’s outrageous we’ll get to that uh and then he said and then I said man I know everyone’s joking
About it but if I were a player I’d be legitimately pissed at Rory for the Mallet comment with Scotty and I said Jesus Scotty and then TJ said Jesus and he said okay someone check me here this feels more tiger ass than any player has
Felt right and I said DJ no need to check you we’ve all said it several times last couple months this is the closest dominance to Tiger we’ve seen in the last two decades uh Scotty is rising to The Challenge on a shot by shot basis it’s wild seems like he he always pulls
Off the best case scenario shot and and I and I think that’s where like in that stretch today from 9 10 11 12 13 he’s just hitting like he’s hitting the shot and it’s the distance control the the shape the contact all of it and even if half the
Putts go in he’s given himself more looks than than the rest of the guys combined it’s crazy well yeah sorry I I was breaking up earlier but TC that’s exactly the the quote I was I was trying to set you up for and it just feels like
He uh I was texting a friend like it feels like he just has one like 200 dice rolls in a row right like he steps up to these shots and it’s like okay here’s the good option here’s or like the good outcome and here’s the bad outcome and
He just has the good outcome every time every time the dice rolls in his favor and he just does it every single freaking time and it’s even when he misses it’s like oh it’s impossible to make bogey from there like you just you literally can’t and I don’t know that
That round today was like I I’m sure I was breaking up earlier but like Rah didn’t feel like that during his run JT didn’t feel like that Rory didn’t feel like that Rory felt like that for little whiffs and then would like blow up leaving the atmosphere pretty much every
Time uh spe obviously never felt like that that that like that’s what tiger felt like man straight up is just like no this car is going 170 miles an hour on the autobond and just like No One’s Gonna Catch up and nothing can really go wrong is what and that’s not gonna last
Forever I’m not like saying he’s gonna go win 15 Majors but like it is right now in the Moment Like that’s that’s what we’re seeing at least it feels possible for somebody else to do it right like this is the first time we’ve even felt that with with anybody else
And I think with Scotty that’s I guess that’s the thing is is it’s just all right this is even a possibility we’ll see how long it lasts or we’ll see you know I mean he’s in his mid 40s now he could be aging you know Ag and injuries
And wear and tear could be catching up with him but it’s lasting a a really long time it really is this is a extreme I’m I’m struggling to make this point though because we’re never gonna see another 15 up somebody win 15 Majors I don’t think we ever unless there’s
Serious effects done to equipment both on the driver head size ball and all that people are just too close together these days so when I say that like he is doing tigerish things he’s not going 82 times he’s not gonna win 15 Majors I want to get make that very clear he’s
Not gonna be the greatest player of all time can he be the best since tiger can he be like can he be Phil and I don’t know what the equivalent is of Phil in this generation I don’t think he’s going to win 45 times like Phil did like
That’s a ton I don’t think anyone’s going to in this generation but you can be as good as Phil or better than Phil and not win that many times and six Majors seems quite possible if you’re going to play golf like this and give yourself this many chances I mean he’s
Only won one but he’s had uh Second Place run up by a shot he’s had many other opportunities being involved in majors and I mean we’re actually in real time witnessing greatness like I I’ve always kind of wondered what it’d be like to have done this podcast when
Tiger Woods was was doing stuff and look again it’s never going to be the same it’s never going to be tiger I just want to make that clear but we’re in the middle of greatness right now last 26 starts four wins 17 top fives and 21 top 10s while putting bad like it’s
Outrageous man and I just I I’m very thrilled that we get to uh get to cover golf in this time period that’s said I’m just I’m hoping that he does it like how many majors do Scotty won one one and that’s the thing it’s like all right you’re you’re you’re hinting at what’s
Possible here it kind of I go I go back to that Gary coke uh you know as a massive cokehead I go back to that Gary Coke comment of expect anything different and like at this point with Scotty down the stretch today it kind of flipped and I’m like
Man like I you know what that that’s what I’m expecting from Scotty I didn’t expect anything different I expected him to rise to the challenge and do that stuff and the other guys wilted like like small children like little boys I do think Dan Hicks would like credit for
His expect anything different I was going to throw a flag on that but I was thinking just let the boys play let him cook uh the spirit the spirit of it still holds up I’m a cad okay but I think that’s what like that’s where the
Tiger comps came from for me is like I’m trying to think maybe Rah you know last like winter spring like getting into Riv and and even into Augusta and some of that stuff it was like you know you could feel some of that like the leaderboard gravity right where it’s
Like okay the big guy is like on the leaderboard now and and he’s going to run down and take this thing but it’s been so long since I was thinking about it today like tiger used to do that all the freaking time and it’s been it’s just so rare that that actually happens
That the guy who is circled in big bold red letters as like this is the guy he’s the best player in the world he’s the best he’s the guy to beat like how often that guy actually goes out and just strangles a golf tournament like Scotty did today like that doesn’t really
Happen ever man it’s it’s maybe Brooks at some of the majors you can convince me he’s you know he’s the dude at some of those but even those is like you know he was battling so many injuries and wasn’t playing well during like the PJ tour season that he never I mean how
Many times we do major preview pods where we just like forgot to mention him until you know an hour and a half in and and so it’s like Scotty’s both doing both things he is coming in as like the clearcut number one and then now he’s starting to go out and like strangle
These things too which is the most fun combo I was there was a few weeks ago when we were talking about Scotty and it was like man like TC what’s gonna make you get interested in Scotty again and I said like when it starts feeling historic when it starts feeling like
There’s there’s something Tethered to something larger than the current PGA Tour season or when it starts to feel like all right like this guy’s going to start stacking up majors and listen we’ve got what three weeks four weeks till the Masters and like this is this
Is what the players should feel like in March right it should feel like hey here’s here’s a preview of what’s to come for the golf season we’ve tied a bow on the west coast swing and we are headed to Augusta in three or four short weeks and here’s what you can expect and
Now we have the added benefit of you know I would say detriment to this point but benefit now with Rah and some of the other guys that we don’t we don’t hear from on PJ tour’s side and cool like those guys are going to show up and Scotty gets to basically
Measure himself against kind of unknown quantities you know from the first quarter of the year I think the other thing that’s that’s interesting about Scotty too is I mean I think Rory is the most natural comp as again that guy that like gets circled in Big Red Letters and
I think we’ve kind of seen what the Masters pressure has done to him that doesn’t seem to be the way Scotty approaches things and maybe intern he feels totally different there’s a great story you know about him the morning of uh the Sunday like of the Masters where
He’s he’s crying he doesn’t think he can do it uh you know but he seems like a different guy even since then it is you know I we again we’re warning people that we’re going to get a little hyperbolic like is is I’m trying to think back on this compared to like
2011 2012 I mean obviously we 2014 is too far out into the future right in terms of that’s a bigger window for Rory in that time period than what we’ve seen so far from Scotty but like is that like the best comp like you know Rory just has
Somewhat flamed out in the biggest events since 2014 he had an incredible run in that time period he won Quail Hollow in 2010 US Open 2011 Honda Classic PGA deuts Bank BMW Championship Open Championship Bridgestone PGA Championship all between 2010 and 2014 right and it didn’t feel like that was
Ever going to slow down it really didn’t so that’s the only like break pumping I would do here to be like we’ve seen a Long window and run sustained run from somebody in the last 15 years uh it just it it I don’t know why this does feel
Different it always probably does in the moment and I’m really trying to have the perspective on this of like not getting carried away but uh I mean you look at like a career evolution chart data golf of course has a great tool on this where you can just like as uh as they’ve
Played a certain number of PGA Tour events you can chart their progress in wins and top fives and everything up against top names and it’s pretty I mean winds are kind of can be a little noisy we can cover that but in top fives Scotty’s got 36 top fives in 116 starts
I mean of course Tiger has 56 tiger is his line on these charts looks absolutely silly but wasn’t in the field for GU was not in the field but it’s higher than Rory’s rate it’s higher than spe’s rate it’s way higher than Phil’s rate uh and even on wins now through you
Know 116 total starts which is what’s flashed up on the screen right now he’s closing in on Rory Rory won more in those first initial starts and he’s closing up on Phil and that’s where I’m just wondering like what what is his his chart G to look like in all this because
We can all probably agree got fewer wins than maybe he probably should to this point for how good he’s played over the last several years and it just seems like now is the time he’s gonna start hoovering him up and getting caught up I think the other thing with with Rory too
Is like the I think a lot of the reason for Tigers sustained success is his iron play right where he he was just always the the best iron player every year forever and that’s the kind of thing that doesn’t I mean you can you know you
Can look at like someone like spe and yeah can come and go in a lot of guys but for a lot of guys like that’s a pretty consistent stat I feel like the guys who are ball Strikers kind of remain ball strikers for a while and
Rory was like never the best iron player in the world he was you know had a massive distance advantage in a lot of those years that you’re talking and like a lot of guys have kind of caught up to that and he’s a tremendous putter in
Streaks and a player in streaks too but not got get thisy some Fiber we got to get this guy some Fiber man we just we can’t have it we just can’t have this man I’m I’m cooking too it sucks uh DJ I’ll pick up from you there
I think the the difference with I guess Rory feels like the floor where’s the floor and I feel like Rory could go out and put a stinker up or whatever like even like this wasn’t Scotty’s a game this week the guy was hurt guy it’s crazy that’s the crazy part and the fact
That he’s he’s patching up his putting a little bit um is is terrifying and I guess the you know the question is does this add more pressure in for the rest of the year where hey you’re you’re the clear-cut number one player in the world
Now like you’re you are the dude if we get to August or September and he hasn’t w let’s say we gets to July through the British Open and he hasn’t won a major this year and he goes and wins the the FedEx Cup or or you know the BMW
Championship and but hasn’t won a major with all the live guys in the field and the true historic stuff then this feel like this year feels like a waste and that adds more pressure for next year as well um I think that’s the real risk right and we’ve seen that snowball with
Rory I mean as soon as that one year goes by and the two now it’s three years now it’s almost a decade now like that can happen really quickly so you were looking it up D before we started he’s plus 100 to win a major championship this year you got which is hysterical
Like that’s such a joke do you think he wins a major this year yeah I I said I think he won if you’ll remember I bravely picked the best player in the world uh to win the players and the Masters I I truly thought he was going
To win this week and now I think even more he’s goingon to win The Masters which I think that’s the that’s the other impressive thing is we haven’t even mentioned it wasn’t that impressive I know it was a bold pick it was a bold pick especially on Friday but well guys
This was the 50th playing in this event what the 43rd or something at sass nobody’s ever successfully defended their title here nobody’s even finished in the top five defending their title here and he just went and did it with like a neck injury and not playing Great
Golf to to you know come out of the gates and he goes and hunts two guys that were just seeming playing m thought they were playing match play against one another on the front line and he chased those guys down by like the 10th or 11th hole and then he stomped in their
necks like it it was truly and he missed a few putts down the like he missed the butt on 13 I mean it’s it’s it was clinical the the best stat of the day s you tweeted this he uh he gained 6 shots on the field putting
And he shot 64 and and for anybody who doesn’t like closely follow Strokes game like I don’t even know how to put that into perspective in another way I mean that that is like when you when you take it crazy crazy low it’s almost always because you’ve made a bunch of putts
Because you’ve done something like you you know you had all these bombs that went in or whatever he just like that he hit it that good man it’s crazy he gained what was it like six some shots I think on the field just balling correct and that’s the thing he’s also
Like the best chipper like that’s the outrageous thing when he does miss the green he chips it up to a foot anyways I mean he uh yeah he basically he shot 20 under this week he gained like a shot putting so essentially he shot 19 under with his ball striking and one under
With his putting like if that’s a very rudimentary not mathematical way of looking at it but it does make sense um question a very important question we got from free Garrett does Tron regret not taking Scotty number one in the draft we did a draft the projecting out
The next six years does does TC officially regret reget it right now I do I officially regret it you got hold the line that that could have been an epic bit especially because no he’s not a good locker room guy I don’t want to around the rest of my team
You could have made that into an all-timer I hate see that one back no we had a but Vic uh I think Vic lost six or seven shots to the field on chipping this week which hey if Vick gets that figured out we’re cooking with gas right like I said
Could have some back problems with Scotty could have some some soft tissue stuff as he gets older here you know I hope Dr James Andrews or or one of those characters is on the payroll uh no that’s yeah I don’t know I do feel like I augmented it though with with some guys
Like I had this meme ready T because I thought you were gonna double down I really thought you were gonna double down yeah uh no I it’s just and like I know we sound hyperbolic and and all that all we can go off of is like what
What we’ve seen and listen I know this was the weakest players field in recent memory I know the the live guys aren’t there I thought the setup kind of sucked this week for the most part um but here we are and like the guy that won last
Year also won this year and he seemingly fixed his Achilles heel with the malap Potter is man like the the Masters is going to feel like I’m it it’s I guess the first time this year that I felt like I’m excited to watch golf I’m I’m ready to just run through a
Brick wall right now and I haven’t felt like that at any point this year and I’m I’m feeling it now with you yeah there’s gravity around Scotty now now whatever happens is interesting right he’s just a month ago we’re saying this isn’t really interesting maybe but like one I two
Wins back toback is going to do something and also I said this earlier this week uh whatever he said in his press conference this week like fired me up of just like it snapped me out of like whining as much as I have been about the tour and what’s left he’s like
Yeah don’t blame us like blame the people that left like we’re all doing the best we can and like he was as direct as possible and I was like yeah Scotty let’s go like start being a leader amongst these guys both on the course and off and uh I don’t know he
Just is a a model for how to handle the most challenging game I’ve ever encountered and uh I I’m really ex to see what happens next we we need to tap uh Randy in here because I’m not a big enough tennis guy but I was reading Porter’s newsletter Porter’s newsletter
Has been great by the way I would would encourage everybody to sign up for that but he uh uh made the comp of like not you know we’re not there yet but he saw a lot of parallels between Scotty and Federer which I thought was like kind of
A fun uh a fun one to think about of a guy that like on the surface probably seems unbelievably boring but the more you watch him win the more you’re just like okay no that that’s the dude like I think I kind of want to be that guy he’s
You’re drawn in by greatness yeah and I thought that was a fun comp to to think about throughout the week but all right to to like to play The Devil’s Advocate here uh I guess before I do that like it’s a it was a great final leaderboard too you got Harmon Xander great
Tournament wendam Fitzpatrick SEIU Kim Hideki ludvig sahith MAV we’ll round out the top 10 here that was that yeah that was the top 10 right there like those are it’s a pretty wide cast of characters as far as different skill sets different uh personalities different just just stuff that makes
Guys tick uh so I you know I think the the criticism is probably hey there was no wind relatively very soft greens relatively benign setup but like you know again a course that doesn’t necessarily favor any particular style of player as shown by that leaderboard
And and he did it two years in a row and beat you know the best the best among who who he could have beaten now let’s see him go do it at Augusta Pinehurst trun and Valhalla will feel like the players a little bit if he goes and does it in
Balla 25 minutes in I feel like we should probably mention uh a putt on the 72nd green that went 98% of the way into the hole before uh horsse shoing out for Windham Clark who uh birdied 16 birdied 17 had a 17-footer to get into a playoff so I’m
Always on like a little delay with my YouTube TV for whatever reason and like I have to like go like blinders so I don’t see my slack because you guys are always reacting before it comes in and my phone starts going absolutely AP uh while the ball’s rolling towards the
Hole which like I was like oh my God he left it short uh that must be the why was screaming also on YouTube TV I had the opposite reaction I was like oh God he made it we’re going to a playoff everybody’s fired up about it make and
It so I like already mentally was like cool well obviously it goes oh my God oh my God it didn’t go in it it was a yeah really jarring experience my daughter was literally sitting on my lap and like I jolted so hard that it scared her like that’s how
How much it shook me that that putt did not go in I I mean honestly at the end it wasn’t even about the fact that I had bet on on Windam it was just like I do not want this tournament to end I do not
Want it to end this has been uh one of my I again caught up in the recency of it like I’ve struggled off the top of my head to think of a better non- major tournament I’ve watched uh on a Sunday in the you know I’m sure I could think
Of one but like it’s it’s really fresh right now that that was one of the best Sundays I can remember watching yeah I think the blow Pig uh I think that was Karma that putt not dropping was karma for him the pimp step twirl combo on the iron shot into the green
Was to like 18 feet it’s like all right man and then what are we what are we doing here what are we doing with with four iron pitching wedge into our love it 18th hole what are what are we doing this is disgusting that almost ruined a
Great week for me you know which listen we we’ve got the combo between the you know March Agronomy and and kind of seemingly May conditions this week of high 70s low 80s you know a little bit benign just with everything and then like listen I
Want to Windam have to step up on 18 and hit at least a wood right and and the fact that the fact that he hits three or four iron off the te there D see you know where you’d have to hit a wood from right that new te there
Up top that’s what we got that’s what we got to put in here years this is up there this is point B on our proposal alongside with the notching and 17 I don’t know and the and the in the in Coal but that’s how electric yeah we’re
Applying for separate grants on that one so they’re different proposals it’s a different zoning thing well in their defense this this this the this kind of whole thing kind of snuck up on them a little bit um it’s just kind of really come out of nowhere in a really short
Period of time that the golf ball goes really far and there’s just no way this possibly uh could have been planned for and prevented at any point but maybe we’ll say that for a different discussion guys honestly like if you’re looking for an endorsement of Titleist golf balls like Windam wind
Clark ball should be off the planet do you want to do your state your case on Windam here like as as as best as you could pay I got just in case people are haven’t listened to the other shows going forward Windom is the blow Pig the
Blow pig is Windom just you know it’s like you take the Emojis wind and ham like the pig blow pig that’s that’s where it comes from this is all credit to kbb’s Buddies exactly this one uh Xander is is uh is a a Xanax pill deer with together de Hill
Dear we might have to do a whole a whole you know top 100 uh you know in the SI golf rankings blow pig in the Piller I want I just want to see I want to see you you state your case as clear as you can on wam your beef with them I
Got people texting me like what is TC’s deal with wendam Clark I don’t get it like just thing yeah he seems like a really thoughtful guy I saw him at Bull Bean on Monday or Tuesday he was reading it’s a good sign read I still want to
Know what he was reading uh it had a light blue cover on it but um I don’t know I just it’s he’s not passing the ey test for me he’s a nasty wedge player I hate hate hate all caps all sorts of exclamation points I hate his putting
Routine with the with the caddy join caddy should have to hit the putt if he’s gonna step up there and do that and then line him up and all that I think that’s Unbecoming uh but no I just think that like 13 was a perfect example or the
Drive on 14 like that’s that’s one of the worst places on that whole Golf Course over there on 14 uh and he should have been up in the trees after that second shot but I don’t know I just I don’t trust like like he’s a really good
Player but for me I don’t trust that swing seemingly Under Pressure where it seems like he kind of comes out of it a little bit and then the ball like that that big Ripper cut that goes three4 and doesn’t spin a whole lot it seems like under pressure it starts spinning
More and like the the cut turns into a slice and that slice at 185 miles hour ball speed should turn off should turn into a like off the planet big right Miss in my opinion but it doesn’t somehow are you more mad at the technology or are you more mad at
Windom like what I’m more mad at the technology and I’m more mad at like I I don’t know I just like that that swing is just the way that that ball looks on shot Tracer and all that it just doesn’t it doesn’t agree with me man and and I
Don’t think that you know like listen he’s super strong he’s got a great swing he he he hits the out of out of the rough and gets down on it like he he he does impressive stuff it’s not to take anything away from who he is as a golfer
I think s respect his career yeah it’s it’s very much like yeah it’s like LeBron when they changed the rules in the NBA and it’s like all right cool like this this guy’s clearly doing something different and you know the rules account for that now too so I
Don’t know I I was just going to say as someone that watched him play a lot of golf this week I can’t I can’t get behind whatever this driver take is that you’re having I he hits it it is it fits the modern game really really well a
High cut at 189 B maybe I just don’t like the modern game then and that could be very that could be fine it but it’s almost kind of like I mean yeah if you know if if the football wasn’t this shape then you know Tom Brady wouldn’t
Be able to throw it as far like it’s not really I’m not really well we got into that with with the deflate Kate for a little bit exactly but it uh it is what like he’s doing it way way better than so many guys right now he’s so high up
On the list for me because at the end of the day I just don’t TR like who you trust really pissed me off this week when everybody started calling him a killer that pissed me off like straight up and it because he’s not he like he’s
He he abdicated that at the at the Ryder Cup involuntary manslaughter at uh at Pebble as well again I just want to State this final round got wiped out I want to this final looking for the real killer I want to State this last 12 months for the record he won a signature
Event at Wells Fargo he won the US Open a major he won another signature event at Pebble Beach and he’s lost back-to-back Signature Events to the number one player in the world that we were just comparing to Tiger a bit ago that’s almost four S n setups too in my
Opinion we can’t downplay that his performance this week and be Laing all this Praise on uh on Scotty it wasn’t a benign setup last week it wasn’t a benign setup last week at Bay also Scotty’s won on a lot of Ben non- benign setups to I think I’m I’m gonna be
Boring boring guy that’s uh meeting in the middle here but TC I I there’s a couple shots where I am with you or I’m like H that doesn’t that doesn’t look right I don’t love how that looks you know that’s not the type of golf that I
Like to watch and then I think there’s a lot on the other side where I’m like man that is he the comp I made on on Twitter and I was saying to you guys was like man who does this guy remind me of and it’s 2015 Jason day where it’s
Just like man I’m gonna improve my irons I’m going to hit it farther than everybody else and I’m going to like lowkey be one of the best Putters in the world and that’s a great way to just make a bunch of dough Cody’s got it up on the screen here’s wham’s profile The
Orange Box is going to be uh Jason day’s uh 2015 profile like it’s it’s kind of the same game and I didn’t like watching that either Jason day is a un unbelievably talented player who is like drastically underrated in in how good his Peak was uh and it just kind of is
It’s not totally for me I don’t know it doesn’t doesn’t inspire me in the same way that watching Scotty or obviously watching Jordan or you know some of the more chaotic players uh feel so I I think what is kind of cool is like there’s enough of those question marks
And enough of those like uh that one was kind of yucky uh that you can almost like see Windam kind of feels like take like deciding whether or not he’s goingon to like truly take the next step is really captivating to watch so I I enjoyed that a lot this week where it’s
Like man it’s in there to Sol’s to su’s point like he’s playing freaking good golf when it matters on all different types of venues he’s not you know 1,00 out of 10,000 yet but like there’s flashes that like he could get there which is which is fun to watch
Somebody’s in the comments saying wendam is is Windam for TC is Jaylen Herz for me sure feels feels a little bit like it where it’s just hey the tush push not my deal man not my deal I also fully support like an irrational hatred of
Players too like if’s not if no but you know what I mean like you know you might hate the Buffalo Bills too you don’t have to provide some like you know calculated like algorithmic reason for it you be like I hate bills I don’t know if you don’t have those
Players it’s it makes watching sports pretty boring well and all right guys did you see the the the video of him mashing down the rough not only last week behind his ball but but this week today like you know going all all through the he’s stepping back and forth
Back and forth back and forth and then dropping the ball right where he’s stepping like that it looks like it’s already been trampled down I this is one of those like you snip this and put on social media and it can look like whatever you want it to look like exactly it’s
Sick I there are PL there’s plenty not to like the the putting routine is really bad he’s a slow player they the the you know sit sit is really like it’s annoying to watch he doesn’t even just walking up 17 it just feels like a little bit turned up for the cameras of
Like him smiling into the camera and being like I’m just like I’m I’m good man like but that’s fine but I I’m not down with downplaying what he’s done over the last year in any way like he is a phenomenal player last night I said on
The show or two nights ago I said he’s the second best player in the world right now like do I maybe W it back I reached back for the Henry Rowan Garder fastball and didn’t know what was back there maybe but like he’s not outside
The top four for me I know that and I’d have to I don’t see him play up against ram enough to be able to make that call right now uh but man it’s like he is consistently performing great in the best of biggest events if we’re worried
If you know we don’t feel good or don’t trust his ball flight whatever we got a long list of guys we got to go through that we also can’t trust because he’s beating them he’s beating the pants off guys like Rory and spe and JT on a very
Very very consistent basis and that just needs to said I just I don’t know I felt like the swing got squirly there today and on the weekend at large he got beat by seven shots this weekend by Scotty and Harmon I think what’s also tough though about the like again going back
To some of my middling stuff like there shots like 13 where I’m like dog you got to you got to go with the pin there man we got to we got to make a birdie we got to force the issue we got to hit that one close and you can almost like make
Up your mind on a take like that and then ignore like the shotty hit into 16 Fairway and the shoty hit into 16 green and the shot he hit into 17 green and the shot he hit into 18 Fairway and in 18 green was like God four
Today yeah and it was that’s it’s fun it’s fun to see both in the same guy and see which which side’s going to win out I am ecstatic that he’s like backing up you know when when this major win happened last year it was very random it
Was very much like a what the hell are we going to look back at this like we do the Gary Woodland one I mean no no disrespect to Gary Woodland but like it just hasn’t nothing nothing really played out after that one and um you know it just it was an early early
Development for him and I think he is a big I don’t want to call him a killer yet he’s a big game hunter and he’s got a hell of a track record going and I don’t see him slowing down it was very fun rooting for him this week as
Somebody that had bet on him because he was pretty damn reliable the putter was a little wonky definitely wonky today and a little wonky this weekend but I mean that stuff is this kind of stuff that levels out over uh over 72 holes eighth in Strokes g t to green and
Fourth in putting this week like he’s just very good player on a on a course that shouldn’t be great for him if we’re being honest and that’s what I was gonna say is like I I also think that he if you want to be the biggest pessimist ever like watching his game versus
Scotty’s game is like it’s pretty clear to see why those types of stream streaks like why one of those streaks is much more sustainable than the other totally if does stop making putts it’s a pretty average week like he made everything man especially those first
Couple days was just like I mean it was what was he like third in the field on Thursday and first in the field on Friday or something 6565 on the back of his Putter and so that’s where it’s like yeah this this you know it is kind of
The illustration of the the modern game and a lot of the commentators were kind of all over this too where it’s like he bombs a out of it his irons are now like pretty significantly like above average not like anywhere close to like a Scotty level but they’re really really
Good and then he kind of makes everything but it’s like God if you take one of those variables away it gets it gets pretty bleak whereas like for Scotty it’s like I think he’s gonna kind of keep hitting the middle of his Club face for a while I don’t think that
Really goes away and and I’m look I don’t know how long it’s going to last for Windham I’m not looking at this with the same kind of longevity obviously that I am for Scotty and projecting that out just to say like dude that again
That is a lot of big time golf over the course of the last year dud s I’m not even disputing that like I don’t even think this no he’s playing Great Golf and he’s and he’s done it at a high level for the last year plus but it’s
Just a I think I think for me it’s just a matter of eye tests and how he’s doing it and I think that aim 40 yards left and just hit the hit the big cut it’s just not to me that’s not that’s not what floats my boat that’s not what gets
Me excited about watching pro golfers it’s not what we’re about you just don’t do that it’s not what we’re about man it’s not who we are I I I will say though I’ll close it with this TC if he can do that at this place and still contend and almost win by one
I’m like dude I don’t know where you can’t do that right I mean people might say that that Fade’s not going to work at Augusta I I would I would disagree with that I he was 40 to1 I don’t know what he is now he was 40 to1 at the
Start of this week for the Masters that that has to come down based on what he’s done so it’s I know it’s his first Masters like I think the guy that got crowned the most by the setup this week was Xander just with how easy it was to
Get up and down from certain spots and to get you know like to shorts side yourself and be able to get out of jail free like that’s where that’s that’s the one I think we should really be talking about here with would with you know just
All right man like you like see yourself out you know have some pride I I kind of feel like good for so long this week and I don’t even know if he did like he didn’t like he didn’t hit it well all weekend he did not
He did not have his best stuff I do totally agree I think he was getting away with like a being able to scramble around that course on benign greens was just seemed like it eventually had to run out he at one point was like 15 for
His last 16 getting up and down and that just does not last forever um didn’t have his stuff still that pot on 17 apparently a lot of people apparently I said this last night that he was gonna have a make a break eight-footer and he
Was going to miss it and and lose by one apparently that happened I don’t even remember saying that last night but uh it never felt like he was going to make that putt on 17 and I I don’t think he’s a choker I don’t think he’s he’s not
Blowing Sundays I just really struggled like to to play Xander I don’t really have the words for it it doesn’t fit into a nice boxy narrative I I feel like the putt the eagle putt on 16 summed up Xander for me I feel like that’s that’s stacking like the NFC
Championship like cool like we’re good man we don’t need to see anymore like we we’ve seen a window into your soul that’s who you are I have no data on this but please start looking at it going forward he loves leaving putts Short like must make putts it just seems
Like there’s no player that I’m like dog what you’re not getting that to the hole more than Xander and there there were like two or three of them today that were shocking yeah was like an imitation of a Xander good good note from uh kiz too just I don’t know where else it
Slots in but that the the whole location on 17 was like one pace shorter than it normally is which I think he was saying adds more Break um which was just kind of a fun fun note it’s kind of an interesting like you guys have been to enough tournaments and seen like when
Guys go out and they practice putting like you know to certain whole locations especially if you have one that you know where it’s going to be every time like caddies are good enough that they can get really really close to where the Sunday whole location is going to be and
Even moving it by you know three four feet is probably a different breaking putt so just very additive note there also I’ll say too like I some some respect for Xander I really respect Xander for moving on from his dad working with Chris KO talking extensively about it in the pressers and
In you know on Wednesday during his presser all that and and basically you know saying hey like my dad told me at some point you’re going to need to be your own person and you know move on from me and I think personally it feels
Like JT could learn a lot from that of hey man like like leave the n a little bit go go dip your toe in some other waters and see see what else is out there we had a Doug Ferguson tweeted a quote from Xander afterward he said my dad told me
A long time ago to commit execute and accept I’m swallowing a heavy dose of acceptance right now I tried to commit I executed poorly on some shots and here I am accepting it it’s like I don’t I don’t picture Xander as a guy playing for a second or afraid of the moment
Like if anything like from what we know about him it just seems like he should be a killer in these spots and and knock him down and do it and he’s made enough money now to not play afraid of these moments and it just doesn’t that putt
That needs to go like I’m struggling to think of him like nailing a huge putt that he needed to make it just always seems it reminds me it reminds me a little bit of like weird comp but like Sergio I guess where I mean obviously not as interesting necessarily like off
The golf course although I think Sanders’s got some takes if you if anybody wants to hear them uh but it’s you know Sergio won a lot of golf tournaments it just was like the biggest ones that really mattered when you really wanted to see him make a putt it
Kind of looked a lot like that and I just wonder how many times you know I think I think Xander like seemingly has a great attitude and I think he has a big dose of the big tone like you know this wasn’t this week but we did a lot
Of good stuff okay what happened next time well it wasn’t my week but you know we did a lot of good stuff I don’t I don’t know how many times you can do that over and over and over and over before it has to like it’s Kinder’s
Gonna win one and and he’s gonna win it by like four or five and and I think he said I think he said that too where it’s like God I’m always close I never am like slam the door on anybody yeah and at some point he’s just going to it’s all
Going to match up and he’s going to win one by four five I think was Xander too like DJ we were texting about this down the stretch with I think it was on 18 where Sanders’s got that long Putt and it’s like man like you’re down one
You really really really want to make this but also if you three putut it’s probably going to cost you like a million bucks yeah that was a tough spot to be that was a wonder I was like got I bet he’s like he’s going to get this one
To the hole but actually this is the one like don’t blow this one past um just a couple things that are coming out on the socials as we sit here will gray tweeted out that Ted Scott said quote I told my wife Friday night I don’t see him playing this weekend uh
That’s how uh that’s how Shook Up Scotty was and then Justin Ray uh just tweeted this stat that said uh Scotty sheffler won and Windham Clark finished runner up in back-to-back weeks on the PGA tour I’ve gone back 50 years and cannot find another example of a player winning in
Back-to-back weeks with the same player finishing run up in both tournaments that’s outrageous here’s that’s kind of a like not to bring this back to live or not to bring everything back to live but at some point isn’t that kind of a a take of that could be John like Scotty you
Know John ROM could have been in these fields or whatever and all it takes is one player like we could be talking about like let’s say Scotty went to live we could be talking about Windam Clark wining backtack weeks and you know being the dude right now we’re not cuz Scotty
Didn’t go to live you know what if I think what sucks about that too is like I me like we’re all we’re all poor because of it right totally but I think it’s also like I don’t know how to say it the right way but like I think we all
Follow it closely enough to know that like what Scotty’s doing is so dramatically different than any other player winning in back-to-back weeks that like he would have beaten like truly bring anybody on planet Earth man he’s he’s still winning both of those events whereas like but even like considering the
Phenomenon like you just laid out like there’s still going to be enough people that are going to like take away from the accomplishment and be like well it still doesn’t really count as much because not everybody’s there and I I get where those people are coming from
Too yeah which I guess to that point too like that makes it that much more impressive what windom’s done well it just it is so stupid to think about like having to ask the question what if walking Neiman was in the field this week like imagine like just having that
Unanswered question and only settling this four times a year like gu should be there should be playing in this like you can never ever ever replicate that event like to to put the D riter hat on for a second like that is just a phenomenal golf tournament and Liv will never have
That like it’s just not that’s not what it is it’s and uh it’s just a shame that that again yeah my feelings on this are well documented on that S I don’t have a d rer hat but I got D rer chains two D rer Chains It’s just like that that
There’s so much to not like about the PGA Tour let be very clear on that too many events again all documented but like the highs are still really freaking good and we’re being deprived of a lot more chances for highs because of this and this was an example of uh you know a
Rare example of how it can still reach the really tippy top Peaks without these top guys but we would just get this way more often uh if we had more of these guys that we had so much context built up around the years that uh were able to watch
So um a good question here from uh Ian Fritz show we’ll get we got to talk some Harmon here in a second but I want to uh asked this question the best players in the world are who and in in what order this this can be any scale so this can
Be like a true power rankings of hey if we’re teeing up next week at a blah blah blah course this is the order I would give me a specific give me a specifics what what tournament are we going to um going next week to let’s just say
It was Riviera let’s just say it was the Genesis next not a major uh let’s just say the master it’s more fun all right let’s say the Masters Masters is such a unique course fit thing whatever um yeah best players in the world in my opinion going into a
Major we’ll call it an average Major let’s say we have an average Major next week is sheffler number one John ROM number two wam Clark number three Brooks kka number four maybe going into a major uh Victor havland can’t lay I think after that it kind of I think
That’s the separation I think after that you can kind of push me in whatever Direction you want uh I’m gonna say I’m gonna go bold I’m gonna say Scotty is number one I’m I’m willing to I’m willing to ride with that everybody seems to be coming around on Scotty uh I
Will I’ll put ROM number two there as well um I’m going to put I’m going to put Brooks at three if we’re getting ready for a major again that’s a different question if it was Riv I would not have him in my top five but if it’s
A major if you’re telling me we’re getting ready to play a major he’s he’s right there I’m taking um Windham Clark number four and I’d still put Rory number five like I think uh you obviously the results have not been there but that if again if you’re
Drafting like who I think could win the next major um and the other those other four guys were off the board I would I would go with Rory there TC I’m thinking average Major I’m thinking Pinehurst or Valhalla here I’m thinking Pinehurst I’m thinking like yeah Scotty uh honestly I’m gonna
Shocky guys right now I think if it’s a major [Laughter] Nardi I think Harmon needs to be in the conversation right now just the way that he’s playing the way that really honestly yes like you know yeah if it’s if it’s Valhalla no if it’s Pinehurst
Yeah like give me give me Brian Haron hanging around doing stuff uh I thinki is I think hii did not play great golf this week by his own standards and and is like he’s really really dangerous for Augusta right now uh I think lv’s up there as well like l didn’t putt well
This week at all and shot 3 67s in a 73 and finished solo eighth uh I think looking ahead like I I don’t know I think zalot torus I think R you know rah’s obviously top top two or top three um yeah we say whether this was pound for
Pound well J’s pound for pound that’s what I mean oh yeah yeah no but I don’t know I think there’s I think there’s kind of a not a change at the guard right now but there’s definitely a you know an a class and a b class right now
And that’s where you know it’s really really tough to know where Brooks is or where Wen is or where some of those guys are when they they’re just seemingly not getting you know like I’m not learning a whole lot from live Hong Kong event I just I just want to flash
This up just to verify this uh from Marcus it says TCS Hideki Harmon ludvig and zotus over winom just what verify that to be that to be true will you lock that in for Piner yeah I will hell yeah that’s that’s a good one that’s gonna keep and
You can add s to that list too that’s good you can hit anywhere at pineur and Fleetwood Haron was definitely out there doing stuff today man uh notice I didn’t say Rory yet either that’s the one of the only guys you did not name um fantastic week again from Brian
Harmon uh that guy is fun to watch when he’s hunting when he’s chasing no no pun intenna with the hunting I did not I did not mean that but again another like validating thing for winning a major championship last year like one shot out of a play off here at the Players trying
To chase down the dude in god mode of Scotty sheffler like God it just imagine trying to hunt Scotty sheer down in your 5 foot s uh and hitting the ball 40 yards behind it’s just seriously impressive the career he’s had and I really enjoy watching it play the
Birdies on S eight and N were so impressive and then you know 11 I I’m just I’m bummed he didn’t birdie 16 it was cold blooded on 15 and I’m like like even before he hit that birdie I was like man you know what like Harmon’s
Coming man and I know like he’s I really want him to be the dude and I I really want him to be this like cold- blooded assassin type of guy we we got to do better than that 16 wedge in your hand you hit it to 50 feet need to make a
Birdie that that the one thing I will say there though is he’s he has to draw it in there yeah versus the rest of the guys get to fade one off that slope that’s fair um but then but then again that’s you know TR hit a draw you pull a
Little he gets to hit a fade on on 18 when the rest of the guys have to hit yeah 18 yeah so just look did he hit wedge in he h 156 in a little down that seems like a big wedge for him though if just looking at the numbers I don’t know
How far he hits it but that would scream that would scream tweener to me that be the back p on 18 I think he thought he flagged that too I mean he he walked after that thing like he thought it was and it just just a little bit that’s a
Really cool where he was and I think it pretty close to where Xander was too right that’s a really cool little section of that pine straw where I don’t know if they trim those trees back or anything or not but like it it seemed like guys had a lot of shots from there
Like if you just trickle into that that pine straw the first maybe six seven feet like you have a pretty good shot at the green it’s just so hard and so hard to control your Spin and that that’s what I’m talking about with like good recovery options and stuff that’s a
Really fun shot to watch I me it was eight iron I’m being told in there am I was it it was into the wind why did I oh right 18 18 was down so apolog people are dogging me because they’re they’re they’re saying hey TC’s Diss and Windom
Saying he choked which I didn’t say that I think he choked like midback nine but then he came back on it and he’s not dissing Harmon for choking on 16 and it’s like Harmon’s also like 5 foot seven and hits the ball there’s context to your people I mean Harmon’s a not
That tall how six foot 61 but you know he’s he’s he’s a power plant there I think there’s something there though with with I mean I mean Harmon had some great quotes week of saying basically like this is my favorite this my favorite tournament on the PJ tour this
Is my favorite course to play out here it doesn’t favor anybody everybody’s got a fair shot like you know he’s just I’ve come to really really really appreciate Harmon for being just voice of reason dude that just tells it like it is and like there’s no other than him
Pulling up to Big Jay in the in the parking lot saying hey I love these Signature Events baby we which we haven’t confirmed that story was true by the way either yeah I want to do I I want to propose this to to to Har I want
To get like a a 12pack of beer put in a cooler we start recording on a podcast and we can’t stop until all the beers are gone like that would be he’d be a top candidate for a pod that would sound something like that I think it’s a great
Idea I was saying I think maybe an ice fishing type of scenario you know you’re not leaving the ice fishing house until you know until we’ve really got this pot in the can I I think something like that’ be be great I mean if you’re hunting you can’t talk too much I don’t
Think I’m not paid out for that kind of stuff te well that’d be entertaining too Harmon would have done well with that idod that the guy got penalized in I think I miss weeks ago didn’t come AC moose correctly uh rounding out the rest of the top 10 Matt Fitzpatrick had kind of
A quiet uh weekend she that 6869 but uh he finished fifth seu Kim and Hideki shared six SEO just continues to be the dude at the Players see wo and Doug gim are the dudes that take the biggest leaps somehow every year in this tournament uh ludvig with an eighth and
Then sahith and MAV mcney round out the the top 10 Matt Fitzpatrick number two in the field in driving distance this week 310 yards just Rory Rory was close to setting the birdie record uh this this week and he finished at minus n and a
Tie for 19th kind of a bizarre a little week for him shot after shooting 65 with 10 birdies in the opening round um and kind of just was not really heard from after that on a golf course that was quite getable so yeah I I don’t know if
We I don’t have a ton ton of of Rory stuff otherwise I don’t know when we want to go into serve pro mulas I was just getting ready to transition to that you want to do that right now yeah I figured so because I I was uh would you
Have any any pre-roll to to re yes of course in golf when bad shots happen there’s the Mulligan ball when fire water or other damage happens there’s serve pro thank uh fire water water thankfully the pros at serve proo know how to make any mess both on and off the course like it
Never even happened uh we want to thank serf proo for our new segment which is the Mulligan uh it gives us a chance to look back at something we said or did uh that we’d like a mulligan on of some kind so de do you want to take us to
What you like your Mo be yeah I mean not not a lot this week obviously I I am disappointed I didn’t you know I’m not in a legal gambling State I should have driven across the border to to back up my Scotty enthusiasm but I did not do
That which I regret uh I had a lot of weird confidence in Mark hubard after Thursday I guess that was kind of a I I’ll wear that one a little bit but uh I think the big one is I think I I kind of flew the banner after the Rory 65 and
Was like oh man he did the work he put in the time on Monday he’s got these two competing swing Fields that’s totally sustainable I think that’s going to be great uh I I think I probably was just a little too high on the rib after that
Thursday 65 so I’ll I’ll own that may a culpa there for me we should have seen the large we should have zoomed out TC and seen hey we’ve had some good rounds that hasn’t really been the issue it’s more like stringing four rounds together avoiding a lot of silly silly silly
Mistakes uh many of which popped up over the remaining 54 holes so apologies there to to you and and the entire listenership TC you have a maypa I do I do DJ that’s first of all that’s big of you um you know second of all I’d like to
Issue a mini manula for Austin ekro uh waiting on his ball I thought NBC captured this brilliantly today we’ll get to NBC I thought they were that’s probably mini mopa as well it’s possible for them to have great coverage they I thought they crushed it this
Weekend um so Brian Roberts I’ll see you see you down the road at the next jamere or whatever’s GNA find a way to blame others for it what but but ecro ecro had a uh a putt that was hanging on the lip on I’m bummed you
Missed this I think you were out on the golf course you would have been you would have been apoplectic about this you would have been telling everybody the rule you would have done here nobody wanted to believe me when this rule happened EO kind of he kind of slow
Walked uh slow walked to the hole he’s playing with Joel Damon and you know the the clock started pretty early and I I don’t think the ball went in for 17 or 18 seconds of course your your guy Deuce was in the booth he was they called him in they
Said hey Deuce what’s going on here he was like oh this is clearly over the limit under arrest ekro goes on to shoot 76 uh I was quite quite High what’s your Mulligan here TC what’s what’s just just I have a m call on on behalf of Austin
Ecro and the and the and the ecrites uh and then also just you’re apologizing that it went in or I don’t no no I’m apologizing that he waited so long oh I see okay yeah it was disgusting and then B I do want to apologize I think if Scotty would have
Won the Masters in hindsight um it wouldn’t have been the worst thing for golf it would have it would have actually been the best for golf because there would be more there would be two majors we’d be looking at even more history and context and everything there so I’d like to
Apologize for for misreading the situation there bet you guys didn’t see that one coming you’re kind of undoing all these great bits that sucks I I was going to plan to refer to that one forever and you can’t not if you’ve apologized for it no like all right if
Scotty plays like the next like two years and then comes back and wins another Master something yeah uh my Mulligan I would like a mulligan on a lot of things I said about the players coming into this tournament I was pretty down on it with you know it
Used to be the strongest field in Gulf uh definitely would not be the same it’s the event that’s hurt the most by Liv and all these things I’ll still I’ll still agree that is the one that has hurt the most uh but it is like its own separate category it’s kind of something
That like kind of survives in in spite of all the the guys that they’ve lost in in a big way I mean again it it’s helped majorly by live from being there by all the great coverage the ESPN plus coverage the NBC coverage that’s way better The Limited commercial
Interruption getting to go in person all the people that come out to the event and the energy there it’s it’s totally different it’s very different than uh any other PGA Tour event on the calendar and uh my Mulligan was just that I I was
I was a little harsh on it coming in I did not expect it to be that’s you know that’s not just due to the this finish really I mean I was feeling this by Thursday in terms of how much bigger of a deal this tournament is and how uh you
Know it it it it hurt it it hurt itself so much in our eyes and a lot of people’s eyes by all this fifth major talk whenever that was uh whenever that was being pushed by the agenda and has been somehow underappreciated uh in the Years
Probably in not in small part because of that and some of the marketing around it but man it is first class it’s just phenomenal and uh I always have such a great time every year and I’m sad it’s gone amen S I feel like they they’ve reached a good spot
Between trying to juice this thing but also making it feel like Jacksonville the last few years I’ve been a little bit afraid that they’re gonna squeeze some of the fun out of it or try to be too too too serious and like this year was a perfect blend I I still think the
Maybe the setup could could be a little bit more serious uh and some of the the you know kind of agronomy there but um one thing I won’t be apologizing to is the Canadians even though Cory Connor McKenzie Hughes couple of them played well today you know it’s not apologizing

Let me tell you about who I won’t be apologizing to it’s the reverse Sur bro God that’s so good it’s the firew waterer segment uh s what do you think about sahith saying that he’s not GNA fixes his driving is that what he said I missed this quote Yeah he basically was
Like yeah like we just figured out like my swing is what it is and like we’re not fixing it it’s fully baked God on Monday he was saying he’d figured out so much stuff about it that’s amazing that’s that’s unfortunate but he continues to he’s printing some money
Man the guy’s playing some golf uh I wouldn’t be surprised to see a win or two um from sawah this year give me sawah at Pinehurst all day man led the field putting this week about uh what’ you guys think of Monahan getting the boob birds as he would did the
Introduction Gary I should say Gary bman getting the the boo birds as he went to go to the trophy ceremony to wrap it up S that I’ll be quite honest really really candid here brought tears to my eyes it truly I mean that’s that’s I tweeted this this is like the pope
Getting booed at the Vatican I mean we’re in Pon aidra Beach we’re down the street from the moat they got their tentacles into every every bit of this Society down here and people still boot him that’s that’s tough that’s that’s that speaks volumes we’re all trying to find the guy
Who did this here why is there a guy with two players chades booing him back there who who is this guy uh yeah that’s wild I think he got booed at the tour championship last year too it’s hardly hardly the first time I think he’s been
On a a bit of a you know he might be getting used to it at this point tyus too it’s you know players isn’t taking itself standing there at the lect turn with his hands in his pockets do better man he’s just trying to be one of the
Boys TC I don’t I mean you you had old man Tim out there and deem doing the same thing you don’t have anything to say for them steon steeming Dean demon on keep it going I don’t know you said something about the you know kind of wrapped up in
Your in your apology I think there’s I need to organize my thoughts here a little bit better but I think there’s something to be taken away there you know regarding like the fact that I think the players and the PJ tour as a as a whole like when people get
Into this like there’s no stars there’s no stars there’s no stars like I don’t know that there’s ever been that many outside of tiger and it’s like the biggest strength is like the infrastructure of the PJ tour and the players is probably the best example of
That you know what I mean like the The Telecast and the fact that you know it’s 16 17 18 it’s the golf course it’s all of those things is like that’s why Liv is not going to have that it’s not really like it doesn’t matter like who has what players like that’s
Kind of the whole thing about live Hong Kong having you know whatever four of the best players in the world it’s like yeah well still doesn’t matter because I don’t watch live Hong Kong that’s not part of like the last 50 years of like the fabric of of golf I guess maybe in
50 years like yeah maybe it can get there but like that’s that’s where it keeps coming back to like this stalemate for me and I guess if there’s like optimism for the PJ tour it’s like that’s what’s going to probably carry the day and that’s where like guys are
Going to probably consolidate on one side of the fence rather than the other is because of exactly that I feel like if they it up this bad and it’s still kind of what yeah kind of like a cockroach right yeah exactly um although I think the one thing about about Xander not winning
That I would have loved to have seen Xander collect the trophy from Jay after what Xander said about Jay on on Wednesday or Tuesday afternoon I should say that would have been some good content um Birdland mlar said don’t you just walk into the room with the Oster
Tomorrow and ask him if he enjoys burning money on Liv or would you rather invest in the PJ tour and have more Sundays like these imagine 8 to 10 elevated events a year funded by piff on courses owned by PJ and piff that can build a similar experience maybe that there’s that’s not
Quite as easy as it sound I don’t think like you still got to get the details right and there’s still a reason why you know the Quil Hollow elevated event is still not going to feel all that different than you know a regular PJ Tour event but you know I’m confident we
Can get there that’s that’s probably time for another another pod I was going to say that that one seems that that’s like uh again if if Common Sense ruled the day in these Birdland Mark uh or Birdland M Mark I should say then I would agree with you but I that doesn’t
Seem to be how like decisions are being made in a lot of this and uh and so yeah I don’t I don’t think it’s quite that simple TC you ever figure out what that bird was in your backyard today it was a hawk I had unbelievable literally
Hundreds of DMS in my in my Instagram I posted I said any amateur or professional ornithologist want to want to help me out here what a creature yeah truly um BW eggins said shotgun starts are better right imagine Scotty finishing on whole three today uh just
It made me laugh that’s like the one thing that tour does have is the the the finishes on on Sunday afternoon or almost always usually pretty which S I think you you said something interesting earlier this week on one of our I think it was our Friday or Saturday show where
You just said hey like I think all these guys should finish on they should start on and finish on 18 the field should should should reflect that all four rounds which I think is true what’s the largest field you can have then in that regard like 75 80 kind of depends on
Time of year right I I I haven’t this out divided by two but I feel like a 100 people in threesoms off one t separated out by 12 minutes 33 groups something like that seems like you could get that in in this much daylight right I mean um
It is jarring to see how much quicker they play when it’s tuum oh my God like Friday versus Saturday and then even I mean today like what which group got got warned a couple times saw out there yeah saw hitting it all over the map yeah and uh they got warned and then
I me they still finished what like 20 25 30 minutes early tonight like they were supposed to go till 7 tonight and well I think they I think they rigged it for a playoff and that ball was supposed to fall in there and uh because they the window was there was enough daylight
There was enough uh it did not feel like the tournament was getting ready to end when when that ball was on the way because it really felt like we were gonna get gonna get some more Golf out of it but God I can’t believe that
Didn’t fall C hey Cody how do you feel about Windam okay I mean seem like a great guy blow pick it’s it’s very hard to TC I understand what you’re saying it’s very hard to disagree with that t-ball that he hits because outside of the speed that’s basically like my t-shot so I
Have some issues there but those are are really personal uh I think he has like an amazing short game the thing that I can’t get like behind is the the putting routine it’s really really bad um but I will say that you know last year we during these shows we were calling out
Scotty for stomping behind the ball all the time and and watching him his head and you know we highlighted that on the happy hour show he wasn’t about that this week but there’s Windham doing it again I don’t know I think he’s I mean he’s proving himself to be a a big-time
Player I don’t know if that’s going to continue to you know he’s gonna crank out some dubs here but it’s a lot better than you know the guy that I had no clue who he was a year and a half ago yeah say he’s lifted and elevated from
Uh from a big big wide range of of dudes that can swing it hard and can’t necessarily get the ball in the hole so I tell you who else has kind of gone from like being on a major medical to I know you mentioned him briefly but
MAV I mean he he was yeah sponsor exemption to AT&T last month and now he’s you know he was he’s up to 41st in the FedEx Cup this uh and same thing I mean Joel Damon he was 171st coming into this and do we know what M needed for his card like
They didn’t really they mention it but they didn’t say specifically what he needs to get his card and I have I have no idea I mean I don’t I don’t you know based on Jimmy Walker’s comments this week I don’t think anybody knows like what do we
Truly you know how do we get our card even what is a card are there a lot of guys popping off this week the uh melady stuff was good as well I I just Cody shout out to your guy going what was it 6 68 881 something 66
81 something like that uh after giving just like probably the press conference of the week on uh on Saturday afternoon do you want to get into some of that now it’s tough I mean the only one I don’t know which audio you p Cody but the only
Thing that I I really love TC there was a moment I just felt like I was soaring and just for for context here Peter Milady of course is on the uh on the the PJ tour policy board and uh so this news story broke uh Saturday during the day I
Think Aman Lynch reported that yaser like players were being encouraged heavily encouraged like the pjt policy board players uh were being heavily encouraged to go meet with yaser in person as soon as Monday potentially and it sounds like maybe that’s happening or not happening I don’t know but maybe
These guys are all meeting up in a house in the Greater Jacksonville Beach area uh which is kind of uh kind of interesting but uh so melady there’s a bunch of people waiting for him after he shoots I think 66 yesterday and 6681 yeah it’s just just outrageous so
Before the 81 uh he steps up to the to the de and is very like bubbly and then he just kind of goes off a bunch of topics and one of the ones he went off about was uh was team Golf and Cody I think maybe you have that audio clarify
You are you are not a big clicks guy I’m sorry they’re I I think their business model though is they see those teams as franchises that could be sold and so like that’s a potential Revenue Source you know in terms if if you if you were
To go down this road like you got the Washington commanders and the Pittsburgh Steelers and the like like and you’re going to have a I I listen I’m not I’m just I’m just the messenger no no I I have no idea but they that was that was their business plan interesting like the
Captains have is that what is that is that you guys must love me cuz I sit up here and ask questions and don’t shut up I should probably just leave but um is I mean is that what is that what we’re doing with this tgl thing like the tgl
The the teams of that are like owned by owners I just the only reason I even know that is cuz I saw um the Atlanta thing there’s a team in at by the guy that own the fal who now come the PJ tour Enterprises board sounds really exting but I had noidea that’s
What tgl is so so so there you go there’s some team golf we we’ll whack it inside a dome or whatever they’re doing the well the the point of that was before even before that uh you know the the very very unfair uh shot at the
Cleaks by S like Doug Ferguson uh was you know he was asked about team Golf and what kind of place team golf has in the future of the PJ tour he had a pretty good quote in there some pretty good he was kind of cooking for a minute
I’ like yeah I just you know yeah listen of course you guys hey I you know I don’t know anything you guys tell me but like seems kind of stupid right like it’s like you know I don’t think anybody like really cares about like team Golf and like doesn’t seem like anybody cares
Like what team wins on live each week again hey you guys tell me I I don’t know maybe I haven’t watched it but like I don’t know we could like what are we just like make up teams and we like pull people out of a hat we say like you guys
Are a team now like I don’t that sounds kind of dumb to me I will say DJ on the flip side though like what’s the PJ tour done like all right does anybody really care about the Sanderson Farms jcks oh totally totally no exactly it’s uh
Anyways just it was very funny that like I would encourage I don’t even know if it’s available I watched on the media site but the uh there’s a good 15 16 minute presser that that is Peter kind of cooking about the future of the tour and meeting with yaser and then you know
Just again the the context that he went out shot 81 the next day is Cody I don’t know if he was maybe looking at some some saudy YouTube videos or what he was what he I think he got spooked overnight might have got a little r
Rized yeah I don’t know just that was about it he started thinking about how good how much his golf was worth and how much it was going to be worth if he was able to to get a transfer over to maybe his beloved cakes so I think Peter said
The quiet part out loud there a little bit of like hey hey you know like I I never shut up I’m I’m on the port here like yeah man like you don’t shut up and you’re on the board and you don’t understand what the equity program is or
What this or that is and it’s like some point yeah like maybe shouldn’t we get somebody more serious on the board that isn’t just a mouthpiece for the tour it was it was I don’t know it’s it’s interesting I mean I think it’s like he’s on the board for a very specific
Reason right like he’s there to represent a certain class of player which is like a weird thing in itself you know I would think like from his perspective that’s got to be a weird way to see yourself uh just it’s like oh no I’m here for kind of like the the Lesser
Known players you know it’s like well you’re still in the same field as Scotty like you’re still trying to beat him like that’s that’s a weird thing in itself I don’t know the whole the whole thing like again just pointing out like the 6681 thing is like maybe there’s
Totally no connection whatsoever uh but it you know if I was squinting I’d be like well really seems like it’s like affecting these dudes that are on the board you know that’s that’s a pretty tangible result yeah I don’t know I just I struggle with all right
Yers so we got the players I guess meeting with the oser all like why didn’t the players meet with the oser in October when the golf season’s not in full swing when when you’re not trying to get ready for the Masters why don’t we figure that out
Then right and like before they poach ROM Peter also had some he had some interesting stuff in the press or two about like uh how basically a a lot of he’s like you know before I almost said January 6th before June 6th uh he’s like
You know I think a after June 6th I think all the players were like this is such we don’t have any power we need to like we need to change how things are going he’s like honestly guys like I think think the pendulum has swung too far the other way to where
Like now we’re being asked all these questions that like we don’t we shouldn’t be answering these questions like I don’t know we I don’t know what to do I’m just a I’m a golfer and so again it’s like the fact that those guys are maybe maybe not going and like
Meeting with you know one of the most powerful men in the world and like some house in North Florida is like what a weird place we’re we’re in with golf right now they’re more than welcome to meet at Bull bean I can I suggest garage as a pretty neutral site yeah do
You think they that yaser travels with a huge like motorcade or it does it reach that level like if we just camp out on A1A tomorrow like will we see the motorcade come by and I think he travels in like a couple of g g 650s you know want to know
Speaking of which uh so I’ve been tracking the two planes that Yer has uh is it’s been last years our guy radar Atlas right thanks to radar Atlas we we’ve got a onew combo on this trying to put everything together but uh so they they’re both in in North America one
Flew into Houston tonight and the other one landed right before we started uh in the Bahamas where uh just weird coincidence Tigers plane’s been in the Bahamas for the last three days I’m doing some fishing I suppose but down there privacy he’s been bone he was in a bone fishing
Trip in Albany last weekend I guess he’s still down there well the plane just got back two days ago privacy’s been down there for uh like 16 days now uh so we we got things uh merging of course but if anything pops tomorrow morning you
Know we’ll see do I expect a meeting to happen yeah I do because there’s been up conversations and quotes from that I think uh kley gave a interview today Rory talked about it after his round um so it’s all looking like yeah they’re going to meet up and I think What DJ
Mentioned is that you know everybody can joke on on Pete all we want but he is you know Smart in where he says you know we’re we’re just golfers here and we need to trust the people that we put in these positions to run these organizations and that trust right now
Is is kind of you know lacking a little bit so so on the steps that Jay and the rest of the executives laid out this was always the long-term plan now TC I’ll agree with you on your point of like why isn’t this happening in the
Fall you realize how busy yaser is like getting on his schedule he doesn’t give a about a PGA Tour player or their calendar or really Jay Monahan he in the world why would you let yaser then establish that much more leverage over the last two or three months when
Like it’s probably in your best interest they have the unlimited cash it’s your in like it’s in your best interest to get this thing done more quickly I know they got the SSG thing and then you know on top of that we heard in in Jay presser on Tuesday that the non- denial
That uh various player directors asked for the resignation of of Jay and some of the independent directors on the board and so that’s got to be jarring for the player to see all right do we really have any power I think in the long run it’s yes when that PGA Tour
Enterprises Board gets set up however in the short term that board seemingly doesn’t really have any power as of yet so we’ll see kind of you know how that flows but I think with with regard to Jay it’s it’s kind of one of those things of like he’s just the guy gets up
There and he’s more punchable than ever and he’s more he’s you know more more cliches and more business than ever and he seems like he’s Teflon because he’s got Hurley and and dun and flarity you know covering for him and so I’m really I’m really glad that the
Players got Joe Ogie as that kind of seventh dude in the room for you know both uh you know kind of that that uh you know PGA Tour Enterprises that like player Le aison role that they’ve got him in I think that’s going to make a big difference uh moving forward it’s
Just it’s more bodies right it’s more yeah more votes and more votes that aren’t web and Peter that are you know cow to to you know some of the the powers that be in the status quo so I’m kind of wave white flag of just don’t care what happens just best
Players need to play together that I I honestly I’m I’m I’m quite bored with the details at this point I don’t care which faction wins who doesn’t all I know is there’s like one there’s there’s definitely one guy that I want to see win a lot and uh I think he’s like
$600,000 richer uh as of today and I think we can bring him in right now into the show if you if you don’t mind Cody because he’s in Jack’s Beach right here hopefully celebrating a very successful Players Championship Mr Joel Damon Hello Joel how are you morning Dam he morning
Friends I think we should take out some more trees here at Saw Grass I don’t know exactly that whole stick but it’s pretty funny uh I could couldn’t believe so you that was a nice introduction uh the text came through and uh I haven’t played in one of these
Like real elevated fents and when I’ve played them I have not made a cut actually uh that number was astounding my wife almost fell out of her chair and I’m not kidding you was funny the first text I sent you after watching full swing was like dude dope kitchen absolutely love it love
What you’re doing here which is to say that in my late 30s my priorities maybe have changed a little bit in life but uh you look a little different man you you got a little less little less ass on you if I might say you’re looking you’re
Down several pounds if I’m talking to Gino you hit the golf ball really well this week what’s what’s going on with Joel since uh since we last saw you uh I don’t feel like a lot has changed um with me I guess I don’t know I’ve yes
I’ve talked to I guess everyone wants to know yes I’ve talked to a sports he’s not a sports psychologist he is a sports life coach management guy super cool dude uh actually is it Windam it is not Windam as much as uh it would be just so easy to talk to sport
Psychologist when some majors and it’s super easy but uh no uh and really uh it’s it things have been really good since August and the golf game was pretty good in the fall and I was doing a lot of good things that all golfers tell you that we’re doing and you guys
Know you’ve been lying to forever but uh I knew that it was pretty Prett good that’s why I went to Puerto Rico last week because I knew my game was close and uh Thursday was so disappointing uh but to wake up and come back and play
Great three days of golf was uh really nice and for Tron to send me a couple texts of stunting on hose uh phenomenal text from Tron uh that was after Friday I think too right yeah yeah it was and uh you don’t hand out compliments that
Easy so I knew I was doing something decent out there yeah I watched you Fe a few holes today man it just it looked a little looked a little different man just watching you uh watching you shaped shots here your shot into three today was just really
Good and uh and yeah you just look like uh things seem to be I guess what’s what’s kind of the reaction like after something like the full swing comes out and we have the reaction this is kind of the reaction to the reaction to the reaction I guess because your full swing
Season two is really about full swing season one and the effect it’s had on your life but uh you know kind of what how all that was portrayed and and how that Rel to how things stand for you now what’s what what can you update us on
Yeah I think the hardest thing is that they were filming last year and this is like almost a year from when it was going down so uh my my tough when they then they caught me in all of that time was like kind of a June July type time
And it was I mean it was playing like and I was trying to negotiate a new world so like come August like I was was kind of back to being Joel again and like doing the right things the right way and had a great thing going off the course
With my family and everything was good and played pretty well in the fall I mean I had a finished 13th at Sanderson and kind of had a sneaky chance in Vegas or I finished seventh um like I was fine but when it comes out again like you’re
Rehashing like Old Wounds a little bit and uh everyone it’s kind of weird because everyone in the public is like oh man we believe in you you can do this it’s like man that was a long time ago like I am I am good and the hardest part is like you
Want to show people how like that you are good and the only way you can actually tell them that you’re good or show them that you’re good is by playing good golf and my results haven’t been that good this year but you know when you’re closer to
Playing a golf than when you’re not and you can a lot of guys fake it or and I’ve faked it a ton like oh I’m close I’m close but like I really thought I was close and that’s why I added Puerto Rico last week and um I mean I had to
Play one of the better probably top five of the last 54 holes I would argue maybe my first round wasn’t very good but I was kind of hanging around there for the last 54 what are what are the indicators for you Joel when you’re close what are
Like the signals that you can really tell DJ why are you asking hard questions uh we could talk about Jack’s Beach or the weather or how great was the 17th hole out there Joel did you feel the support that’s actually that’s a really good question the indicators are um I
Would say so we always have a baseline of where I’m at like kind of on track man like I can if I aim my body five degrees left and I’m swinging it and my path goes three and my face is a one at a half like that’s pretty good so if I
Can show up and just kind of like feel like my aim’s normal and swing normal and the ball flights kind of like a small cut like that’s what I like um and sometimes when you show up to the golf course it doesn’t feel the same way sometimes you feel like you have to
Swing right or sometimes you have to swing more left or sometimes you feel like you have to aim a certain way and it was all kind of coming together of like I started to feel it and when I um I don’t really play Shots as much as um
Maybe some other players but like when I start to like feel a draw and actually like draws two yards like that’s pretty good so I can get out there and just start playing golf and uh I looked at my coach my luckily coach Rob CAD for me
Last week in in Puerto Rico and he’s like dude just play golf like you’re fine everything we’re doing here like I kept looking at him for answers he’s like I don’t have an answer for you anymore man like at some point you have to sack up and play golf and uh after
Thursday here this week he’s like I can’t your numbers are fine like quit playing trackman he’s like anti- trackman guy yes we do have trackman and we use it but he’s like get out of trackman and go play golf and I just started playing golf and it actually
Worked which is really fun Joel your hair looks magnificent thisel in the comments I uher I’m trying to balance my I’m in actually Aon fleer’s room right now who’s staying with me and trying to figure out where to go but this is special this is super long and really
Gray and I can’t believe that I’m in public like this but no one watches your show anyway so we’re good guys right Joel Joel uh where you going yeah we after they showed it on the uh on the broad cast today Austin ot’s ball hanging on the lip yeah how all right so
Walk us through that because it seemed like they had de bobic on I think it was taped but they had de bobic on almost immediately and they’re like no this is out outside of outside of 10 seconds how does that go down because he he like he
Basically hits the the putt he hanging on the lip he kind of slow walks up there you guys are both examining it very very close up how does that go on from a rules persp perspective from there uh so you have when when a ball
Start is sitting on the edge of the lip you have a normal amount of time or a you don’t you can’t just walk around forever yeah so a reasonable amount of time to get to the ball when you reach the ball I don’t know what they clarify that probably
Imaginary circle of three feet you have 10 seconds for the ball to fall in the hole if if it falls in 10 seconds it counts as it going in if it takes longer than 10 seconds for it to go in it technically is a penalty stroke they count the ball going in so
You get like whatever score you normally get so Austin made a five when he probably should had a birdie I mean and it was so weird because we got up there and he asked he he asked all the things he’s like hey how long do I have and I was and like 10
Seconds and I started kind of counting in my head I’m like okay we’re probably beyond the reasonable amount of time or whatever you want to clarify but I’m I’m like there with them I’m like this Ball’s going in 100% the ball’s moving the entire time this is
Going in I just like you always wonder how that works because this ball is going in the hole and that’s why we sit there down close to then do you guys call that on yourselves does does Austin basically get up to the next te and say
Hey I think that was longer than 10 minutes or did the rules official come up a couple holes later and say hey it probably felt like 10 minutes but 10 seconds would be the the clarifying there but it yeah um we so he asked what
To do I’m like hey look we have cameras on us this week actually all shots are live if you guys weren’t aware of this uh it’s really special product baby yeah it’s this thing uh not many commercials either I think it’s this really cool thing that we’re working on and um so I
Just said look just call the rules official and just say hey will you look at this and determine if like whatever Tok so rules fish over Gary Young was inside and back within like a minute and he’s like overtime that’s far and it’s kind of weird because in that moment given Austin was
Not playing well but if it was me like dude my ball was going in the entire time it never stopped moving that’s why we sat there we watched it like that would be a brutal thing to go through um unfortunately he played terrible today uh so he didn’t he didn’t care and he
Just won two weeks ago and he’s rich as and he’s young and he’s going to be really good for a long time so he really doesn’t care um but it was just a it’s a weird thing it’s like dude this Ball’s going in we
All knew it was going in that’s why we stared at it and then you’re like oh no that’s a good part we Joel we opened the show today just with raving about the way this tournament ended the way the energy was on this at this tournament
All week and and how good the product was at the very end what is after what’s been a kind of a tough start to the year with a lot of stuff that’s been going on U tough couple years if I may say are you feeling that energy like do you walk
Off this tournament aside from what you produced there are you kind of you know with what uh the The Players Championship as a whole kind of give us your your reaction to the tournament in the week as a whole yeah I mean I get that like this week has an asteris in it
Right because Taylor Gucci is in here and I I completely understand that um that’s just the reality it is it’s just it’s facts actually um so I I get that it’s not what it used to be but when you drive onto this property and you drive
Up TBC bull olard or whatever is and you see the clubhouse like you get the same thing as like major championship fields and like this is a big time five the other thing you get is like every coach is on property every psychologist on property everything’s here like it is a
Major championship feel the vibe is just different around here so that’s and that’s on like a Tuesday right so you know that like players try a little extra I mean we’re gonna go to next week which is a great event but it’s just going to be like let down because um
It’s just not the players like it’s just ramped up fi everything about it is is really good I think when we get taken care of the way we do in the clubhouse and the dining we have and all that stuff like it’s just whole other levels so
Um it’s just a different level this week and and it’s really good I don’t know it’s uh yes Joel when I saw you on panicked Thursday afternoon Fleer came in said he’s going to the bar and I was trying to figure out if I’m going to the
Bar with him potential lynes but there was no it’s all good I I actually have a kid here with my wife so I’m not going anywhere but I was trying to figure out how to get out of the house without getting out of the house it was a panic
Move we’re good well I was I was gonna look to wrap up this show so I can come meet you wherever you end up because Joel that’s a it’s a bucket list thing for a lot of people he’s drinking a high noon too I am not drinking High Noon guys no
He’s not come on I would never do that come on guys I only drink Bush Mills I love Bush Mills out of your drink your your drink was fire this week it was awesome they were out of pineapple and grapefruit yesterday because so many people were

Who got killed in that house?
Hardly a mention of Spieth when talking about historic runs. Truly a betrayal of the roots of this podcast
Scottie is great…but, Xander is a choking dog…
watching a lot of broadcast on espn+ and the most in depth analysis of scotties footwork is unconventional. which, sure. but has anyone heard valid analysis of why his feet are all over the map. is his setup wonky? is he just find a feel with his arms and the legs accomodate? what is actually happening
Wyndham is my guy but I can appreciate TC’s hate for him. I can see coming through his pores🤣
Why is this not available on the brand new podcast page you just launched like 4 days ago? Feels like I have to compare 3 different apps info at once to piece together following the show. Love it though great content boys!
DJ needs starlink. Call Elon now bro.
Can we talk about the pure joy we see in Ted????
Completely agree with TC’s take on John Ellis lining up the putts. Brutal to watch and I hope they change the rule.
A lot of drama for a guy who has won a single major. Not saying he won’t win more but it’s a bit early for the anointing..
Scottie has never won a tournament outside of Spring….chill
Can we not with the blow pig? You guys can do better.
Wyndham a cheater
Clark is just the new villain who'll be top 10 every week in signature events now. Deal with it
Boys have been smashing the High Noons. Currency bias. Bloke has won one major!!! Dominant but in much weaker fields. Their games have dropped off because they headed to the party tour and prize money is no longer a motivating factor but no Rahm, Brooks, Smith, etc helps.
Scotty is on absolute fire but needs to translate it into more majors. Particularly with the golf world broken and at war majors are the only real currency. That being said, putting on the improve he could even achieve a grand slam.
Scotty & Federer comparison DJ!!! FFS!!! One major!!!
Probably won’t be seen but regard the Eckroat putt. Why is it 10 secs on the green but 40 seconds everywhere else?
Wyndham taking 2nd to Scottie in back to back tournaments.
I share the Blow Pig hate. He screams at his ball all the time and the putting routine is obscene.

The putt routine is brutal I will say
So much hatred for the Blow Pig
Just a suggestion, why don’t you guys do an analysis of the Colt Knost interview on the Flushing it podcast and highlight all the blatant and ridiculous contradictions that he says. Something similar to what you did with Talor Gooch.
Ie when asked what does he think about Liv going to Australia and Hong Kong etc and how it’s good for the game. Colt says he agrees then seconds later still says that golf is not in a great place. In Colt’s defence, at least he admits he is biased. Colt also makes a good point in that as an American he’s spoilt in that he gets to watch day time golf and is not going to get up at 3am to watch LIV. That’s of course what the rest of the world does to watch the PGA tour.
In essence, Flushing It subtlety backs him in to a corner whereby he agrees that everything LIV is doing is good…then Colt’s only defence is “the games not in a good place right now”.
Hilarious, lots of material to work with, you guys could almost devote an entire show to it!
An historic win for Ted Scott 🙏🏻🙏🏻
