Let's talk some golf. Because it's the last major championship of the entire year, the Open championship, British Open, whatever you want to call it. I don't really care. Actually, I don't think, is it like offensive to call it the British Open? It's in fucking Britain. It's one of those words when you say it,

you feel like you're offending someone. Yeah, like even they slip up. There are a couple clips of the announcers, the British announcers being like here at the British Open, that was a great shot. You know what? I think it's one of those things where it was a hot debate for a few years and now people just don't care anymore. Weirdly on the internet, I saw it every which way and everyone was just okay with it. British Open, the Open championship, it's all good. I mean, it's an Open and it's always in the UK.

It's just the British Open. It just feels right. Yeah, it just feels right. And again, I have no, if people are upset by that, I would really change, but I don't think that they are. I don't think people. We call it the U.S. Open because it's in the U.S. And it's an open.

And I get that their whole thing is that it was the original Open and it's fine. But again, whether you call it British Open open, I'm going to try to call it open as much as I can, but end of the day, British Open, same fucking thing. Everybody is we're talking about 148, I believe. This was the 148th, open champion. Maybe you hear numbers like that.

You're like, who's counting? Like, who was counting 148 years ago? What did they start? That's not that high. In the R&A was counting? 148 years? What the hell was going on? You can count to 1408?

What year was that? What year was that started? Look, if you're telling me Do the math, Trent. You just can't remember that they played it 148 years ago? Trent, do the man. No, I don't have it.

I don't have it. Riggs? That's got to be... What do you mean it's got to be? 1871. Is that right? Yeah, I mean, we were asking you... What was going on in the world in 1871?

It's my thing. The open. The open was happening. I will say they could say it was the 190th. And I'd be like, that's my point. Like, who's keeping track at this point? You want to say it's the RNAs be keeping track. The whole one high.

Is that that cobblest? You want to say it's the 285th open? I'm like, time me up. Sometimes your takes are outrageous. I'll buy the merch. I'll buy the merch for the 285th open right now. I wouldn't know the difference. So you just, I guess, don't, or even think about history?

Like, how old are you? Like, you're just not counting the years. It's just like, oh, who's keeping track? Well, everybody. Things to me that, like, happened before 1920. Don't count. I don't know. It's like, oh, that's just like, mission.

I wouldn't go too public with that, but I think. Coming from the guy with sun tan lotion on his nose. Well, if I get one more ray on my skin, I literally could die. I think my back's so burned right now that if you just put an egg on my back, I think it'd cook. I used that analogy this weekend. Did you? Oh, yeah, I was in a bunker while I was off. That's wild.

It's so hot. Put an egg on my forehead right now. It would just make a nice little arm. In New York City, East Coast, it is just outrageously hot. The sun, going back to your tweet of the sun being powerful and like being a pansy for not wearing sunscreen. The amount of people I saw that just got roasted by the sun this weekend. It's crazy to me. Put fucking sunscreen.

I've been out, I gotta tell you, for the last like two months. I've been outside golfing like five days a week. I haven't got burned once. Just put sunscreen on. I got burned. He showed me on the walk in. He wore shorts this weekend. I regret to inform me.

I wore shorts yesterday. Yeah, had to. It was a health risk. That heat ended up yesterday was 111. I had pants on and I just looked at myself and said, man, you're not coming home. I looked in the mirror. I said, you're not coming home.

I'll never see this mirror again if I wear these pants. I wore shorts and I got purple, man. My legs are roasted. Did you put sunscreen on them? All day, man. How don't get that? What do you put? What do you put on SPF 1?

I don't get it on SBF 50 and it's this new type of sunscreen where like it's a foam. It's a foam and it's just like all over your body. Put foam on your leg and you're. I got to say the legs don't look that bad. I think you're all right. I saw the back of one. It looked like your shirt. I mean, yeah, I got sunburn.

I don't know why I played golf yesterday, but I did. But I mean, I forgot what shirt I was wearing first. You never do that? Yeah, I did it all the whole time. 148th. Is that the right number? Did I get it right? I think it's 148th.

It is. It is. Royal Port Rush. I was doing a little bit of research. And we got, this might be the most we've had to talk about in a single show. The outlines are the outlines crazy. The storylines were they just kept adding up the things that have. We're going to go through all of it.

Shane Lowry, obviously, we're going to get to him. Unreal week. Very emotional. The crowds. It was crazy. I did a little bit of research on this. You know, only 14 different golf courses have hosted the Open Championship. what yeah if you were to ask me to guess that and if you were to say like how many and you just

gave me a number to guess that I would have said after 148 of them I probably would have said like 85 I would have said 55 yeah I just it wouldn't be 14 I don't know if it's high as 85 but like you got to think at least 30 you know we're talking about 148 years yeah I wonder what that's comparable to to the u.s. open that's a good question it's got to be I mean the u.s. open they're everywhere they have a the the scale Skeleton is similar and that they go back to a lot of their go-toes, but they add new ones all the time. And just like when we had chambers and Aaron Hills, which love Aaron Hills and all that. But I will say I think it's easier too because in the Open, British Open weather defends the courses where in the States a lot of courses have been passed by because they just can't add the distance too, which probably makes it easier for them as my guess on that.

Yeah, but I think we probably have a lot more courses. We have our, like, we have so much more land. Maybe. I don't know. I don't think your point is very good at all. I don't think the land point is a great point either, I will say. I think we have way more golf courses because we're just way bigger. That have the potential to be a U.S.

open course. So therefore, just a numbers game like we would have more options. I know there's a lot in Scotland and all that, but like Scotland is the size of what, fucking Missouri? I think your arguments are going to suffer during this podcast because you have suntan lotion on your nose. You look ridiculous. Everything that I say that you think is super on the back,

that's coming from a guy with suntan lotion on your nose. I'm just trying to stay protected. But then you could respond and say that's coming from a guy with bubbles from the heat under his eyes. I have bubbles under my eyes. Ten courses currently make up the Open Rota. Royal Port Rush. This is a second time. There's only a second time in history that this tournament has been hosted outside of Scotland or England.

And the last time was at Royal Port Rush 68 years ago, I think. And everybody on the broadcast kept hammering this point home. Royal Port Rush has strong. cemented itself as part of the rotation. They were saying as much rumors at the very end of this broadcast that within the next five years they might come back because they've only got this thing scheduled out. And this is something I like that the RNA does.

It's a little different than what the USGA and what the PGA do. Real quick, before you go on, 53 courses have held the US Open. 53? Yeah. Good look up versus 14. Yeah. That's crazy. Three of them have since closed.

So 49 open host courses are still operating. That's crazy. So Royal Port Rush One thing I like the RNA does is that they've only got the next three scheduled out Whereas when you look at the U.S. Opens and the PGAs and all that, they're scheduled out for like the next 10 years. Whereas this, they've got a lot more flexibility.

They're only through, I guess, 2023 is the only time that they haven't scheduled out. So they go right back to Royal Port Rush in like 2024. Yeah. Which is really, really cool. But this thing, it went so well. The course was so well received. The people, the town. The players loved it so much that it's getting chatter as being the best course on the entire rotation outside of the old course in San Andreas.

A lot of people were making that argument. Almost nobody was arguing against it. The views, spectacular, the way it sets up. Spectacular. The design, the same guy who built and designed Pine Valley. Designed that. So there's just a lot going on. And look at the course behind you on the TV.

We put, we did. We put this photograph. This picture is with the dune. It's otherworldly. It's going five, six out. Yeah, it's awesome. The dunes. It was just really, really cool.

So I wanted to talk about that. I wanted to talk about Royal Port Rush quickly. There's some holes. I mean, the fifth hole, which again, we're kind of looking at behind us, that one that a lot of the guys are trying to drive the green. There's OB right behind it, and then it falls off into the Atlantic Ocean. That hole within an infinity green where it looks like the pin is legitimately just sitting in the ocean. Those types of holes, and this one, the way it's set up. the different strategy that was involved.

You could lay up, Tiger laid up a couple times. You could rip it right at the green. Some guys ripped it right to the green. If you hit the mound the wrong way, it would just carry him out of bounds. That mound was awesome. Especially today. Because where the pin was placed, you just hit it right on that mound, and either you didn't make it up top so it came back,

or you made it perfectly and it went right to the hole. Yep. Or you hit that mound before the green and it just shot out of bounds, which happened, which was so funny when it happened. There were some shots. I saw one of Tiger when he was putting, and he was behind the, so the camera, I guess, was in the fairway, looking at him putting towards the camera,

and it looked like if he took one step back, he was just going to fall off the cliff. And the ocean was roaring behind him. Like it was just a huge current. So Royal Port Rush, I mean, as good as it gets, we will see this place again and again and again, I think for the rest of our lives, foul and golf. I think they're going to come back here a lot.

I think for a lot of good reasons. So Royal Port Rush just delivered it, dominated, even the two new holes, because, you know, we learned a lot more about it, where they took the old 17 and 18. They just turned them into like spectating areas because that's what you need for a major championship type venue and just built new holes, which I think were the seventh and eighth holes.

They were saying all the players playing their practice rounds were like, oh, which holes are the new holes? Like they literally couldn't even figure it out because they fit in so well. So just everything that they did went really well. The crowds were awesome. They were rowdy, especially for all of the Irish guys, even from Lowry to the actual North Irish guys. They were crazy loud.

the roars and kind of the momentum and the following that Rory had on day two after obviously his blowup in the first day and all that. So the crowds were phenomenal. Now, I've listed a bunch of players down here and a bunch of storylines because there's so many different tied to so many different guys. And with the crowds real quick, like I was wondering going into that, like how. So like the open goes to Ireland and do they just like did they go into that accepting all of them, do you think? Or like how does that work compared to like United States? Like if we had like five guys from the U.S., like would we go in like saying, all our guys are our guys or like that guy's from Florida. So I'm really not going to care about him.

But this guy from New York's my guy. Like is that how they're thinking or are they thinking collectively? Is that what you do in the Olympics? Oh yeah. True. No, I don't care where they're from. What state? You just do.

Country matters. You're for all. Yeah. Country matters. Right. Like there are two different countries. Now I did hear like I think Lowry McDowell said this a couple different times. They said when it comes to golf, we're one nation.

Yep. That's kind of what they kept saying. Yeah. And so I was very curious going in as well. Like, are they going to, because there's been so much bitter, like horrible shit that's happening. I mean, David's Ferry, when he was on the show, he was like, it could get ugly. We're like, okay. Right.

So there's so much bitter. And obviously, we're just, you know, we're ignorant America. Like, we don't know. We just don't know about that stuff. No, I don't know anything. Right. So we're kind of like, what are you talking about? Whatever.

So it was really cool that they embraced that. And I think to them, it was like, no, this guy's like Irish. That's one of our guys. Like, right. And you could tell because the crowds on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday when he was in the lead, when he shot that 63 on Saturday, and they started to get behind him. It was magical. That roar that he got, even when they introduced him on the first tea this morning, we're doing this on Sunday.

It was chills. It was like you heard, you know, they announce every guy and it's the British Open guy, so it's always that voice. It's kind of like funny and interesting. And it's a pretty standard, like friendly clap. And then they introduced him. And even he gave a little smile, like, holy shit. They just roared for him.

And I looked up. He grew up three hours away from that golf course. So even though it's not Northern Ireland, like he's right there. It's not far, man. Mattow and Rory, I think like he's like third pick. Yeah, like at that point, I mean, when he was walking up 18, it was outrageous. Like, after he hit that wedge in there, like the crowd went berserk, he started to like, he hugged his caddy.

Yeah. He can't lose. And it was just awesome. The crowd was going absolutely bonkers to the point where he was trying to quiet it down for Fleetwood to, like, let him finish up. Yeah. And, you know, what they do at the open with when they let him. the crowds funnel in and chase the guy up 18 every time. And then they always build the massive, massive stadium around the 18th green.

So you basically get a full circle in closing the champion walking up is always a scene that's just surreal. It reminds me of Tiger walking up at Eastlake, except you get it every year. And then in this one, you got, you know, an Irish guy in North Ireland where they haven't had the tournament in 68 years walking up with a six-shot lead. It was just as cool as it gets. So that storyline is, of course, the main one. Lowry had his chance at Oakmont a couple years ago and blew it. I think he shot like 76 or something like that on Sunday and came up short after being in a really good position.

He last year, he was telling an incredible story in his post round presser about how last year after his first round, I believe it was at Carnusti, he was so lost and he hated golf so much that he was crying in his car because of just how like sideways things were going. And that's so relatable. Because we all know, you can go out on Saturday and shoot the round of your life and be like, man, I'm hitting it great. This summer is going to be awesome. I can't wait to get back out there.

Then you go out on Sunday and you can't fucking find the golf course. And so to hear him tell that kind of story and then turn around and win, he's won some big tournaments. I mean, he won the Irish Open as an amateur, which, you know, I can't even imagine what kind of balls that takes to win. That's fucking John Rom just won it this year. So he was beating the John Robbs of the world as an amateur. He's won at WGC.

So he's got a pretty damn good resume and then he adds a major championship to it. So it was cool, man. It's also just nice to root, like, to see a guy like Shane Lowry, who's this common man looking and not like some. Totally. Beard, chubby. Oh, yeah. So good. His body kind of fits that course, like rugged, but kind of like looks like a friendly, nice guy.

He's like the course and body match. He's going to win this thing. And I loved it. I was like, you're right. He's not like some jacked, like superhero looking guy, like Brooks Kevka. He's just fucking basically kind of an Irish slob out there who's unbelievable at golf. Yeah. He was hitting, man.

He was hitting that low missile cut. Oh, my God. That was kind of his fairway finder, in play finder, his version of kind of the stinger. And you could tell that after the first hole, he hooked one that went in that left rough. Kind of lucky it didn't go OB because a bunch of other guys did. But I guess he took enough club to make sure he was far enough back. But he kind of duck hooked one off one. And the announcer alluded to that was kind of his miss for a while.

And then he just the rest of the day was hitting that low missile bleeder cut out there. And I was like, good for you, man. even a couple holes that just dribbled into the right rough. And he's like, that's fine. I'm up by X amount. Nobody's making a run because the course of playing a possible. So he played after catching fire Saturday and taking over the golf tournament, he from there on played mentally about as flawlessly as you could play.

Yeah, super memorable too, right? Like, if he goes on to, if Shane Lauerre goes on to never win another major championship, we'll still remember that he won the Open. It's not like, sometimes you forget that Webb Simpson, like won a U.S. Open, not to shout out like Webb Simpson. We always shit on Web Simpson on the show and I like it. Takes a bunch of ricochets on the game. I actually just looked it up like he won in 2012.

Like, I don't know what, like, I just didn't know. I don't remember that. Like, whatever. Like, would we skip the U.S. Open that year? Like, okay. But for some reason, like, Lowry's just going to stick. I mean, and I guess the reason is that it's like he was the Irishman, the crowds, the way he did, he dominated. I'll just always remember that he won this open.

Yeah, he played so well. And then I thought early Sunday's round, Fleetwood had a chance to put a little pressure on him on the first two holes. Fleetwood didn't put. tremendously well on those first two holes. And I think that let Lowry kind of settle in. Were you guys doing that thing? But he did sink a great bogey put on one, I want to say. Yeah, he did on 10 feet.

When we went to the U.S. Open and a guy would go out to an early lead and we're like, it's okay, guys, like no chance this guy's holding on to it. Were you guys saying that about Lowry? No. Yeah, I was actually kind of high on him. I was in a big, big pool. I took Kisner in that pool. And then Lowry wasn't going.

Like, the pool was outrageous. It was like 50 grand. Lowry was going for 520 and I was literally hovering on it Never clicked it obviously because I'm just a complete loser Yeah Because you have sunscreen on my nose I'm worried about sunrace inside

It was a hot weekend But no I was actually sneaky high on Lowry I had them in two different pools That helped me actually take third in one First and another Conversely I was very low on J.B. Holmes Like when he was up there everybody was like There's no way he went out of it

Yes, I agree. He was a guy I was looking at. He's a goal to. So, you actually start at two. Like, you're like, that guy is. But you're right, Frankie. Like, this will be, even if he is a one and done when it comes to majors, this is one that will always remember. Yeah.

And even, like, when Anhele Cabrera, like, won the Masters. I don't remember, like, a lot of the details around that. Like, now that I'm kind of thinking about it, like, there was a playoff and this, that. Whereas this is like, I will fucking remember this. I'll remember him hitting those shots. It was carnage all around him, and he basically just walked right through. It was almost like a scene at a game at thrott. when like they're just like he's on a horse and he's just slowly walking through all the shit that's

happening around it's true and he just what he just clearly after every hole was emerging more and more very clearly as like the champion this is our chance he'd get those little fist pumps like all right there's one more yeah he's got through 18 of these things another par yeah when you get like the fist pumps got bigger yeah they're just on par's we're just yeah we're just yeah he's saying course he could be a two footer and he taps in him for part he's like let's go he fist pump like you said that bogey on one and it's like all right we're going to get those all day He putted so well all week. It was insane.

So just really, really cool stuff from Shane Lowry. Congratulations to him. He's only 32. I don't know what age I would have put him at, but when I looked it up, I couldn't believe he was 32. I thought he's a little bit older than that. Yeah, he's a grizzled 32.

That guy has been in bars and he's taking some years off his life. So we have guys tweeting out. It's like, yeah, I ran into him one time in North Carolina between tournaments and he was just sitting at a bar at noon having a burger and a beer. You know, on like a Wednesday. He's a new. Burger and a beer guy. beer guy for sure.

Maybe a little earlier. Really cool to see that guy win. It's why it's really cool to see that guy win. So good for Shane Lowry. Conversely, Roy McElroy. This was just sad. I mean, Rory, all the buildup, as much buildup as you could possibly imagine. He had the course record.

They had fucking 61 stamped on a wedge. She kept showing that commercial and that little clip, that promo. All of the hype that, you know, he said before this will be, this is the biggest tournament. that I'll ever play in. He said, this is bigger than when I try to win the career grand slam at the Masters every year. I don't know that this will ever return here in my prime, that they'll come back to here. And, you know, he's from down the street, all that stuff.

And then he comes out and hits and snap hooks one out of bounds in the first hole. Snap hooks another one, hacks it into the shit, takes an unplayable, hits a good chip, hits a terrible putt, makes a quad on the first hole. then fights his way back, really. He fought his way back well and got himself to three over, which at the time was looking like, all right, if you get in the clubhouse at three over, like you have a decent round tomorrow,

you make the cut, and then you can do another backdoor top 10 thing like you always do. Oh, no, no, no. He finished the last couple holes, double with a triple, shoot 79 in his first round. It looked like you wanted to cry half the time. It was just really depressing, really, really depressing. comes out the next day and catches fire.

I mean, the crowd was going crazy. They're rooting him on. Everybody kind of knew the cut was going to be won over. It's looking like he's a little bit too far away. Then he makes a couple like birdies that you don't really expect him to make on the back 90. Birdie's 16, which that hole's impossible. That part three is impossible. Now he's won away.

Comes in, ends up coming up one short, but everybody was going nuts. It was almost kind of just like as good of an ending as he could have really had for how horrific he began the tournament. He gives these interviews afterwards that were insanely emotional, where he was kind of fighting back tears the whole time. Totally. You couldn't tell if he was like crying or not crying the whole time. What was it like out there for you today making that run? It was awesome. Sort of emotional.

I feel like I get a lot of great support anywhere I go, but I really felt it today for whatever reason. You know, like every green to tea, you know, all these people are here for me and they want me to do well. you know, it sucks I'm not here for the weekend. I would have loved to have played in front of them for two more days. But, you know, I'm proud of how I stuck in there. You know, played a really good solid round to golf today. It wasn't quite enough, you know, but the good thing in this game is there's always next week,

so try to toss myself off and get ready for Memphis. But I'm just so proud of everyone involved in this tournament and bringing it to Northern Ireland. You know, I wish that. the ending for me would have been written a little bit differently, but you know, it's been an awesome experience and I can't wait to come back here in a few years

and plan another open. At one point it looked like he was totally going to break down, and then by the end he was like fine. Yes, it was a very strange range of emotions in like a minute long clip. It was, man. And it was, yeah, it kind of spoke to a lot of things that make Rory,

unlike anyone else, really in golf stardom, in that he's so candid. I mean, he is a rock. star. He is the biggest name in golf outside of Tiger Woods and maybe Phil Mickelson. I think he's probably the biggest star in all of golf if you like over the last five or 10 years definitely and going forward. He's got so much star power. He's got so much swagger. He's just Rory man. The way he walks, he walks like he's got a fucking 10 inch dick like he's just he's a roary. A little bat. And then he gets in those interviews and he gives that kind of interview where

it's just so candid. Yeah. You know? And he doesn't come off like he took a PR class and he's trying to make sure he gives the right answers. He kind of just freewheeling it. Which is awesome. Like it's so fun to see.

And it was, I mean, everybody saw that interview that he gave. And it was like, you just felt for him too because you saw how emotionally invested he was and, you know, wish it would have gone better for him in round one. And he could have, you know, played better. Obviously, made the weekend. I was hoping, like, hell, he was actually going to stay the weekend and, like, wind up that way. It was really cool. I was kind of surprised that he didn't.

I, to be honestly, I thought maybe he'd jump on the coverage, you know, and pop in for 15 minutes like Nicholas does, like the memorial and those kinds of things. Pop in and shoot the shit on the coverage. I thought there was a chance. Maybe we'd see him. You know, I tweeted out. I didn't think there's any chance he was going to be actually in the gallery with people, but maybe, like, you know, in the scoring or in the locker room or, you know, like shooting the shit on the range with like a coat and tie on being like I'm kind of the ambassador or the tournament or something. I thought he has obviously no obligation. shit like no he doesn't have to do that um i thought that it was just kind of going that i wouldn't

have been surprised if he showed up i'm sure and he obviously he was very devastated he wasn't there playing on the weekend he was just he was too emotionally invested to like walk around and like make it like a clown show for him he's like i'm fucking pissed i'm getting out of here yeah and i don't want to watch these guys like win on my golfers every time i see somebody else play i'm not playing saturday sunday i'm one of the best players in the world yeah and i think he probably just wants to make sure too he gave the spotlight to the other guys that that did earn the the cut and all that. So, you know, there's no obligation that.

It would have been cool to see again if he did, like, what Kiz did at the fucking President's Cup and was like up in the crowd ripping Guinness with the fans. He would have become the biggest. That would be the most popular athlete on the planet. I would have been insane. But I don't think Roy did anything but kind of gain more fans. Even J.T. tweeted about it. Did you see that tweet you put out there?

That's what you think. Like you're saying, he's the biggest star in the game. And you think J.T. and Roy are, you know, obviously superior players or elite players. But then even a guy like J.T. looks at Roar and he's like, holy shit, this guy, like the way he carries himself, the way he plays, the way he gives interviews. It's just different than everybody else. And how he makes it candid and the way he continues to be open about how he feels. I mean, it's just, it's incredible to see a guy like JT. been like, like, I look up to Roar the way he handles himself off the course.

And he should, because he handles it so well. He's so likable. He's talked many times about his flaws. He's talked about his kind of lack of desire to be a Target Woods type figure, how he doesn't want that life. He doesn't want to, like, not be able to go out to dinner. He wants to like pretty pretty goddamn normal and all that. So it makes sense. I will also say that like Rory, I think clearly has a little bit of a pressure problem. I mean, when he had that lead at the Masters and he collapsed with like an 81 or whatever, he's had even quite recently where when he was in the final group with Patrick Reed last year at the Masters and couldn't get it done when he played in the final group with Tiger Woods at Eastlake, you know, couldn't get it done. So I think,

you know, two of his four majors that he did win, like he won. by like eight where it was pretty clear like he was going to win he of course has had moments where he has proven that he can handle the pressure um the other two majors that he won the open and that pga where they were playing basically in the dark yeah he was clutched down the stretch there but i do think that there's very clearly evidence that rory when it gets to like these big moments that become kind of like bigger than just being out there and playing golf that he doesn't handle him that phenomenally and i think that part of that is very understandable because of his personality and all that where he's kind of like has this desire to just be a normal dude yet he's a rock star

and he kind of gets you know he gets a little bit over his skis i think he said that i think that he said he got a little bit in his head about the whole thing and um and this was probably as much evidence as much pressure as he'll ever play under and he shot 79 in the first draft so uh so i do think that that's going to be something you know outside of all the emotion and how much we love rory and how many fans he earned that just like pure golf wise gambling whatever you want to focus on that that's something to think about going forward. But, Rory, again, made a lot of things. Each one that happens now, too, it just builds up more and more and more.

It's something more to think about. But, yeah, the pressure is maybe something that he's, you know, weighs on him heavily. And the fact that he did struggle and that's come a couple times now, you know, it's more of a storyline and it's become kind of more true in that way. All right, we talk about drinking a lot on the golf course. Well, this is a little bit different type of drink. Body armor. It's refreshing.

It's really the flavors. I got to talk about the flavors. Yeah, the flavors are incredible. Peach mango light fire. That's my favorite. Peach mango, two delicious fruits. It's also DJ's favorite flavor. I mean, DJ, whatever he likes, I like.

I mean, you know what I'm talking about? Why are you laughing? What is that supposed to mean? Came off a little perverted. I'm not going to lie. Why is that perverted? I'm talking about body armor. That almost.

The look you gave me was something. You're sending Trent down a road of he's going to have to take his glasses off and wipe his eyes pretty sweet because he's laughing. Because he's laughing so. I don't think so. But the look he gave me like, no, I'm saying?

I was like, oh my God. I got to take a shower. That type of happiness only comes from body armor, folks. I think what separates body armor from all of its competitors

is the different types of flavors that they have because, you know, you go to the competitors and it's always like the generic sports drink flavor, the lime and like the blueberry, whatever the blue color is.

But they'll give you like, orange mango, tropical punch, blackout berry, peach mango. I mean, it goes on and on, Cherry Berry. We drank a bunch of this because they are a presenter here at Barstle.

They did the big brain. They were on it. Michael Foley is the founder of this company. He's just a billionaire and he started this company like no one ever has where he made athletes actually become they actually invested in the company as opposed to just being endorsers like endorsements. Right. So like Kobe Bryant wasn't just signed to body armor. He was like an investor in body armor. So he had such more pride to like build the brand. Yeah. And belief in it. I can invest in something if you don't think it's exactly how he's built his business and all these guys just push body armor and because it's such a good drink. It's so good tasting. So DJ also, I mean,

he trains with it and his trainer is a huge fan of it. So bottom line is not only is it delicious, not only are the flavor's awesome. It's also legit and helps with his training, recovery, hydration, all that good stuff. Go drink body armor. Brands exploding. You should be a part of it.

Body armor. Darren Clark tripled the 36th to miss the cut. Tough. Love Darren Clark. Love DC. Yeah. Man, we got a couple drinks with Darren Clark down at the Abaco Club. I love that he was rocking their logo on his.

Yeah, I saw that. Yeah, it's so good. So good. Everywhere. Came out, Bertie the first hole. He hit the first shot at Royal Port Rush. Again, kind of just more and more testament to how perfectly they handled this whole thing. From the RNA to North Ireland, to the guys that were sort of representing North Ireland

and Ireland in general. Comes out, Bertie's the first hole. He had a very, you know, he's from, I think, literally a mile away. I think he grew up a mile away from the fucking golf course. So he was out there and getting all these ovations everywhere. And he was, I think he was even par on the, you know, he just needed a bogey or better on the 18th hole on Friday to make the cut and made triples. That kind of sucked. It did kind of suck.

He's also an open champ and he's a little older. So it's, you know, it would have been kind of like against the odds if he would have made the cut, I think. So that wasn't as devastating as kind of the Rory thing, but it was still pretty damn deflating to see that. And we love Darren Clark. Yeah. What a look he's got. Dude, ripping a cigarette in the fair way and just like, he's such a beauty. I wish I could look like him when I'm older or right now.

More than anything. He's just a silver. Look at that hair. He's got a picture pulled up. That is a tidal wave of gray hair. The only thing I will say is that. I have maybe the best photo that I have is with him. I will say that he had a little bit of a wardrobe malfunction and all these pictures

is that when he's wearing the abaco thing, the bottom of his quarter zip. So I guess both zippers, like the one zipper is supposed to be on the bottom. He just had the, he had bolt zippers in the middle. He was kind of flailing out, unless that's the look,

but I don't think it's the look. There was a point where... Maybe that's what he's going for. Maybe that's the Darren Clark's version. There was a point where he was... Loose around the belly. I don't hate that. If you're,

if you type in Darren Clark into Google images and you click on it, you're going to see him in this Abicle club quarter zip. Just look at the picture that I'm talking about. You're going to see, I think he has a version of the zipper to let the belly loose a little bit.

Makes sense. You ever full? What a legend? I totally just reversed on that. There was a point where he really slimmed down and he was maybe the best looking man on the planet. His hair, man. It's got some of the best hair in the world.

Yeah, he does. And he knows it because he doesn't wear a hat. Yeah, never wears a hat and he just, it gels it perfectly. Like, it's beautiful. And like you said, he's ripping darts out on the fairway. Cigarettes. He's just cool, man. Cigarettes are bad for you, but you look cool as hell when you smoke him.

I think it's just a funny look Yeah, it's just a funny look He lets the belly loose Yeah, he asked him You gotta let it breathe out of it Another beauty too Riggs in his interview asked him When we were sitting down with him

He said He's like yeah When you go on golf trips Like his 36 holes Like he's like You guys play 36 holes He's like that's too much golf You play 18

Go to the pub You get a real sense And like the scene And that's how you play Like on a golf trip It's like It's easier said Than done

When you sit behind a desk All day You're Darren Clark You do whatever fuck you want Darren Clark But he is just the man It was so cool That he was highlight

because of all those reasons, like just watching him and looking in him. Every time they cut to him, like, no one's ever looked more where they're supposed to be. Like him fucking standing out there with his hair like blowing in the wind with his fucking abacote thing on with the zipper undone at the bottom because of his gut breathing a little bit in fucking at Royal Port Rush with like the ocean behind him and the fescue and all that just get cut to us like, man, that guy is just living right now. That guy absolutely lived. So love Darren Clark.

Graham McDowell, he made the cut. He was in tears afterwards when he was hugging Shane Lowry, he kind of waited for him and all that. That was a really, really cool scene. So, again, just like all the people were talking about, you could tell how much it meant to all of them. Then you can magnify that or multiply that by a million because of all the people in North Ireland and Ireland in general.

So really, really cool stuff for that part of the world. The tournament will be back. I don't think there's any doubt about that. Brooks Kevka, what a year. What a year for Brooks Kevka. It really just continues and continues to build the narrative that when he cares, he's just maybe the best player on the planet. He's made a putt.

And when he doesn't care, he just stinks and doesn't care. It's hysterical. His, you know, a lot of, on golf channel, I believe they kept doing this debate where it's kind of dumb, but they're like, oh, where is this major year rank among all major years? Nowhere close, to be honest, because he only won one. I know he had a lot of hot finishes and all the others, but I mean, I would put last year's major year for him above this one

because he fucking won two majors. That's all the matters. Having said that, second of the Masters, first of the PGA, second of the U.S. Open, tied for fourth of the British Open. He's sick at golf.

He's fucking... Sick what he cares. When he wants to go do it, he's unbelievable. Drives me nuts that we're even saying that, though. That three wood that he hit on five was a labor. Can I just say something about Brooks Kepka? Sure. This has been spilling over for him.

It's been driving. driving me nuts all weekend. I've gotten in arguments about it on the golf course. You said you got to goffed yesterday, 108 on the pavement. That's ballsy. You know, my buddy's getting married. And yeah, congrats to him. And so he's like the first guy in our crew, I guess second guy in our crew to get married.

The first one hasn't happened. It's happening the next month. But whatever. He, like, wanted us. This is like the first wedding party I'm going to be in. So, like, he, like, wanted to get all the guys together in golf. We knew what it was. He was going to ask us all, like, ask the best man.

It's up. all that stuff. We knew why we were going golfing. It just happened to fall on the 108 degree day. And it was like, we have to do it. I came back from Rough and Routy, stood on a mat for five hours at Rough and Routy. Great event. It was great. Unbelievable event. I got really tired and super sore because that was the longest rough andority of all time. But, you know, I took like a 5 a.m. flight. It was a connection. I'm going all over the place, made it to the golf course sometime. Just the hottest, the hottest day of all the all time. I wore shorts. I got sunburned. I got bubbles under my news is telling people not to go outside. And you were out there to play golf.

I was looking at my weather app. It said excessive heat warning with a red exclamation point. Yeah, it was bad, man. They said the sand on the beach I was down in Jersey was 123 degrees. Dude, I was in the sand a couple of times. I thought I was just going to end up. Dude, your feet burn off. You literally, as soon as you go from like the boardwalk to the ocean, you're going to go swimming, it's a full-on sprint.

Because you can't. You're running over the cold. Bottom of your feet will literally burn off. It's like you're running over colds. Yes. But yeah, it was bad. And I got, yeah, we got, like, I have a couple guys in my, in my friend group that they like, they like, they like, it's basically just like, I bet they struggle with that. It's just like, it's just like, it's just like, get me going and I'm like, I don't know where it's going to go.

I could say things that ruin our friendship over Brooks Keppka. Like, I could say something that'll just ruin our lives. But, um, which I didn't, but I'm just saying. Yeah. So Bruce Keppka, like, I don't know. I like Brooks Kevka. We met Brooks Kevka. We looked at him.

You know, he's, he's super good looking. Incredible. Really good guy. We fist bumped them. on his way up to like 18 during the fucking PGA championship. Like, I'm all in on that Brooks Cup Cup guy. The thing that I'm not in on is how the entire world is now incepted by this, like, narrative that he just doesn't try when he loses, right?

Like, if he doesn't play well, he doesn't care. Like, what other athletes? That's not what it is. But, like, that's what the fans and media, like, think of it, right? Like, Brooks was, like, seven back. And then, like, he wasn't playing that great to start Sunday. And, like, my buddies are like, well, he, knew he wasn't going to win. He's not putting in that much effort.

Like he's not going to win this major. Well, your buddy's are idiots. He's nine back, right? But I do think people feel that way. Do they do? Like, all right, he's at the Travelers Championship and he's like started off with a bogey, bogey. Like, oh, Brooks doesn't care this week.

It's not a major. Like never once are we going to now hold him accountable to play well in anything but a major because of this narrative. It's so I just know, but the narrative is this. It's not that when he's on the course he doesn't care. It's that he in general doesn't care about certain tournaments like he cares about the majors and therefore he doesn't do everything that you have to do to be one of the best players on the planet to win those tournaments like you don't just show up and care and therefore

you just win like he is very much he said i don't practice regular tournaments i practice for majors like he just i just i don't know that something like the fact that he has to play in those tournaments that he has to show up to like you know what is it like you have to start show up to a certain amount right to like retain yeah you you have to have a certain amount of starts right so like the fact that he has to do that and just for rubs me the wrong way that he shows up to things and just doesn't try because he doesn't want to. Where he's going to run into problems is like with the putting this weekend where when he doesn't

put well and I saw people talking about it on Twitter where they're going to be like, well, maybe if you practice more, you are at the tournaments that you don't care about and don't practice for, maybe if you did a little bit more, your game would be a little more refined and you're not going to miss putts like this and you're going to win the majors that you're in convention. Like a Brooks Keppka goes on a two-year drought right now of majors, right? Which is very like doable. There's four of them a year. If you just don't win one of them each year.

Like, are we now going to start seeing Brooks Kepka show up to, like, the John Deere classic and start ripping fucking drives down the middle and showing up with, like, track man's on the driving range? Are we going to be like, thanks for caring, Brooks? But here's my showing up, dude. But here's my kind of argument. Who's to say that Brooks Kepka isn't having this two and a half year stretch in majors that's unprecedented because he does things the way that he does them? Like if he goes and goes balls to the wall 24-7, 365, he gets burned out. He's not the same player. He doesn't have the same energy levels.

He doesn't have the same commitment levels. He doesn't have the same, like, peaking and freshness at major championships. And he does a little better in the average tournament, but not as well on the majors. Like, why is that better for Brooks Kepka? His formula that he's come up with is fucking working. They're talking about this year as one of the greatest years in the history of major championship. It is working. So, like, why would he change that?

It just comes off super cocky when he doesn't perform. He is cocky. Right. No, but like when it doesn't, when it, if it doesn't work, which is a huge if, like, if he starts to go on a, on a stretch where he doesn't win. I'm just saying that his, there's like a legion of people that will always be like, well, like, he doesn't care unless it's these four.

And if he doesn't get it, well, that answers to major, it's tough to win. Like, there's no, my, my thing is that this narrative that he, that goes around him now doesn't allow him to ever be unsuccessful. Like, ever. It's just always that, like, something. But he's earned that by how good he's been in majors. All right.

So, like, he already earned it after two years. I know he's had an unbelievable two-year stretch, but like. But no, he's earned the right for, for him to now be more outspoken and then us to be like, yeah, dude, keep doing what you're doing because of how he's performed. If he was doing this thing where like, if he showed up and he had never won a major and like barely ever finished top five or top 10, and he's like, yeah, I only practice for majors. He'd be like, oh, who the fuck are you? Like, what are you doing? Yeah.

When you've had the run that he's had, he can say that and do that. And at the end of the day, all, like, it's more the, it's more the media and us that are pushing the narrative than him. I mean, he's just answering questions being like, no, I really don't play golf really outside of, like, I practiced her for the major. And I just what I do. I do love that part of him. I do love that part of him. I think he's like the common man guy that just goes out there and hits bombs and wins fucking major tournaments and he's awesome. We said that on the podcast when we met him.

He's an awesome dude. I'm never going to be anti-Brookskeke. I just like don't. There's a part of me that's like the cockiness that comes with it. Like, I guess it's everything that's surrounding him. Like you're saying, it's not him. Like, he's just doing what he's doing and it's working. It's what's best for him mentally.

Like, if you think about, like, Tiger physically only plays in so many tournaments because he physically really only should. For him, I think it's the same way. It's just mentally, this is, like, his peak performance. And so you've got to do what's best for you. And obviously, he's proving that this is his peak potential. He also isn't cut from the same cloth, nor was he ever as Tiger Woods, right? Like, Tiger Woods made it very clear that, like, it was his mission to be the best golfer ever. And he was going to focus every resource and everything he's got on that.

To the point where we all read the book when he was like a kid, he had fucking military like mental toughness coaches talking in his ear all day every day. Aren't they hitting golf balls and then feeding him by the sound of like the golf ball? He was like, he was like programmed and therefore that's what he was going to do. All day every day, the fucking John Deere Classic meant as much to him as like the masters. Every tournament he teed it up in, he's like, I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to win. this and that, whereas, like, Brooks Kupkin is a totally different person, and his mantra is like,

yeah, no, I'm not, like, obsessed with golf. This is kind of just what I do. I'm obsessed with winning majors. That's it. Yeah. And I'm sure he has certain sponsor requirements, right? Like Nike's paying an X amount. He's got to play in a certain amount of tournaments to fulfill that.

PGA Tor, keeps card, all that. So he's going to play. But he's just like, yeah, I show up to those. And I think he's trying when he's out there. I think he's trying to win the tournament. But I also, like, he's not going to do the extra work that he has to do to try to win those. he doesn't care that much. Yeah.

You're right. I mean, I'm not going to argue that. It's just like, I think we said it last week where it's almost like that guy that like when he loses in a video game or something like, well, I wasn't trying. It's not like maybe he's telling the truth. Like maybe I was just sitting. That's, well,

the only slight difference there is like you're not practicing for video games. Yeah, but it's just the narrative that just rubs you the wrong way. It's like, oh shit. Like he wasn't trying. So like you didn't lose. I think Kepka is trying in the tournament though.

Like in the tournament, he's not. He still says like, but he's just not practicing. beforehand to put himself in the best spot to succeed. But I think that's part of it, isn't it? Like, the leading up to it is part of whether or not you're trying. I get that he, once he's there and he's playing in it.

But I think part of the equation also has to, you can't, like, completely discount the lead up to it. Once he's there and not performing that, well, he's answering, like, questions at the media center being like, well, like, once the cameras are really on me, like, that's when you can, you know, like, start asking me about, like, golf and shit. Like, that stuff just runs through the wrong way. It's like, all he said was like, I only play golf when you see me on TV. Yeah.

Strong language. Strong way. Yeah, it's just. Yeah, but like, I don't, like, I love everything about that. I love that he said, like, majors are easier to win and then went and won that major. Yeah. What he's doing is so fucking sick. It is cool.

And it's him, and he's like, I just want to be on my boat most of the time, but I do want to, I also want to win majors. He's never been like, I really want to win 50 B.J. Torvettes. He's like, no, no, I just want to win majors. That's what I want to do. So very interesting. It's very polarizing. It clearly splits people down the middle because we've never had someone quite like him, but. You know, how far.

We talked about him that he was just like wallpaper. And then all of a sudden he's crazy. He's awesome now. Just like just two years ago, maybe like a year and a half ago, we're like, dude, you're winning fucking majors every week. Start speaking. And now he like, now he's got me all riled up at Smithtown Landing Golf Club. Like I'm just, I'm going crazy on the 11th fairway.

I'm like, well, why doesn't he care? Why don't you care? Also, like that narrative is dumb because it's not like whenever he's losing, he doesn't care. He fucking clearly cared this week and he lost. He clearly. was like frustrated and pissed. After his round on Saturday,

like he was fucking fuming in that interview about horribly putt it. He went as far as to be like no one's hitting it better than me and nobody's putting it worse than me. He was pissed. He cared this week for sure. Right. It's a major week. Right. Right. But he lost. Like, so the narrative like, oh, whenever he loses, he didn't care. Like, no, he fucking cared a lot and lost.

And his admitting. That is what brought up my point this weekend was like if he starts to lose now, like where does that line come? If he doesn't start performing to a level where he's finished, it's what you just rattle off like fucking four major championships second in the master second in the US Open T4 for the British if he starts finishing

like 40th 50th missing cuts like at what point are we just going to lose that is it just going to be Brooks is just whatever like he doesn't because he cares of the major he just didn't perform as well so maybe he has to maybe he just asking like if you think it's going to change but then maybe he goes and tries to play in some different tournaments to get in a better flow but like right now

if you're playing well don't change anything yeah we'd be happy to have him at the John Deere my guy Dylan for telling him A shot of 78. I really thought he's going to... A ton of tweets this weekend about how you were on the edge of your seat. I was over Dylan Fratelli.

He had a great... Through three rounds. Yeah. We were right up there. A lot of the... Wheels fell off today, boy. I like how you say we... That's great.

You gotta represent. A lot of the Deers... I guess I'll call them all the John Deer fans. A lot of the Deers were in my mentions being like, you don't want Fertelli to win. That's right. You don't want him to win. You don't want him to win.

I didn't want him to win. No. I know. I know you guys don't want him to win. Fuck Dylan Fratelli. Oh, he's doing his best out there. Go get a pizza to go at Fertellie's. You're fucking Borelli, dude.

I had a guy. I don't play in the John Deer Classic. Guy tweeted. You're not invited. Guy tweeted at me, he went to Fertelli's restaurant in St. Charles because of it. He goes, thank you, Riggs for recommendation. Great pizza.

He gave me a 7.9. Hell yeah. It's pretty good. Same story as Borelli's. My dad botched the pizza. We don't talk about it. This was a real 7.9. I thought of that one was kind of inflated.

My dad botched it. Brooks Kefka. Don't talk about that. Brooks Cap got a really good golfer. Dude wipes. A lot of people were kind of raving about our dude wipes. Ad Reed from last week. Frank, you got a little graphic.

Hey, man, everybody does it differently. Everybody does it differently. The way you got to get that powder down there, I mean, to each is his own. You do what you got to do. Now, when it does get graphic, dude wipes is your answer. They're an unbelievable product. They got so many products. Yeah, they have an unbelievable array of products.

You used to think it's just wipes. It's called dude wipes, but they don't just have wipes. The powder, the shower wipes, the face wipes. I'm a big fun of the face wipes. Actually, I keep the whole thing in my bag. When you finish around the golf, you don't have to go wash your face. You don't have to take a whole shower if you don't have time, all this, that. Usually I want to sprint right to the bar and start drinking.

Face wipe, get all that sunscreen off your face. Oh, that's huge. Oily, sweaty crap off your face, clean out your pores. It's just refreshing. I use the wipe after the golf course the other day. And I walked back into the 19th hole to the little pub to grab myself a little drink after, you know, basically beating the temperature outside. Yeah, that was your little joke, huh? I saw you do it on now.

What did you do on Instagram too? Yeah. I mean, I shot an 84, but like, I mean, I don't know. I thought it was like a nice little funny joke. I liked it. Yeah. I was just, I was a good old man joke. Yeah, no, I like a good old man joke.

But I used the wipes and I walked back in there and they said that I was glowing. Like, you're glowing right now. Really? Oh, yeah. I mean, that's what dude wipes. does for you a man. Now,

This was one of the great storylines of the whole day. This is the Brooks Keppka I fucking love. Where he's just like, this guy sucks. It became really clear. So Brooks Kebka made comments early in this year when Camp Kebka was formed, where Rory Macquarie McEugh, I literally joined Camp Kevka because of his comments on slow play. He made some roofless comments about slow play, directed directly at Bryce and

Deschambeau. Maybe the guy that's the only slower play. known to man on the PJ tour is J.B. Holmes, and wouldn't you know it? Kepka and J.B. Holmes get paired up together right away. I mean, you could see, I think it was on the front nine, that clip of J.B. Holmes, like he looks like he's lining up his ball from behind and about to approach it, and he walks right past it, walks to the other side of the hole, the plumbob from the other side of the whole Kepka does the, like, uh, wipes his fucking hand across his face and walks off the green, like, Jesus Christ. So you can see it just few of me. It's so good. Everybody knew

it's going to happen because Kepka is one of the fast. passes players on door. It had to have affected him so much because, I mean, it just takes away everything that you are used to. He takes so much time. So much time. And like Kevika said, he just doesn't do anything before it's literally his turn to life. Well, I've got all the quotes.

So before we go to that, let me get to the actual quotes. When it's your turn to hit, your glove is not on, then you start thinking about it. That's where the problem wise, it's not that he takes that long. He doesn't do anything until it's his turn. That's the frustrating part. but he's not the only one that does it out there. He also went on to, I mean, he kind of, he didn't actually roast him as much as I thought. He said it was slow, but it wasn't that bad for his usual pace, which is kind of, I mean, that's a row.

I thought it was relatively quick for what he usually does, Kebka said, so he was roasting him. And he's right. I mean, that's a great point. There were a couple other little nuggets. Will Gray tweeted out walking off 12 Green. Kepka stared at an official and pointed to his non-existent watch. I love that one. Kepka also had a quote from earlier in the year, which is one of my favorites, where he said,

He said that when he plays with really slow players on purpose, he'll play as slow as possible for the first couple holes. So they get put on the clock and then the slower guy is forced to play faster. That's pretty smart. I thought he was going to go way further in the post round comments. I thought he was going to fly off the fucking handle. I actually think he roasts him pretty good. I mean, some of these comments are like, you know, jab, jab and then he finishes with an uppercut. He's actually like, you know, but for him, like little things like that, I think are so good.

Yeah, J.B. Holmes with an 87. Awesome. Shot a stunning Sunday, 87. Every time they pan to that. Oh, my God. Every time they pan to him, he was in, like, the fescue 50-yard short left of the green, and it was, like, hitting five. And I was like, what? What is it going on?

And then he would, like, blade what over the green? It was crazy. Here's my question, Riggs. I mean, if you're on top of your game, are you shooting better than an 87 today? No. Not today. No? No.

The weather was impossible today. No. So I, that I pointed that at Riggs. For David Duval, shot a 90, I think, on opening day. 91. Could you beat that score? I mean, I couldn't, but no, I'm not on top of my game. I think that that opening day, if I was out there.

On a nice day. Yeah, keep in mind, like, we played a couple days ago, of course, that's like this past weekend. That's not anywhere near as hard as that. And, I mean, what do we shoot? Like 88s. I shot an 85. Something like that. So, like, really the answer is probably no.

But I do think if I was out there playing one, Well, like I had like my A game. I think I can break 91 there on that Thursday. Now, yesterday or today we're talking final round. No. It was impossible. It was impossible. I mean, it was impossible.

Every time they cut, I think you tweeted that. Every time they cut to a new golfer, he was in worse shit than the guy in the frame before. Tommy Fleetwood was in Fescue up to his waist. And then the next shot. Touching the bottom of his hair. By the way, Tommy Fleetwood, I know he flux. And I say his hair is starting to get a little outrageous. It's so like, what's the word?

Quaffee. quaffed. It's just a perfect circle on both his shoulders. I mean, it's like, it looks like a dog. Like one of those dogs with a huge years. A manicured dog. A manicured like English dog. Dude, today, the conditions today were so amazing because we went

from, I felt like I went from three days of every time they cut to somebody, they're in the fairway, they're chipping in, they're hitting these unreal pitch shots, bump and runs off the hills, like getting it to within five feet. Every time they cut to somebody, man, I just looked at me like, where the fuck is that guy? Like you said, the feskeeskees, blow

and their hats are blowing off. They're fucking. Then they cut to another guy. There was one time they cut to Justin Thomas. It was raining it so hard. You couldn't even see him. I was looking. I was like,

oh, man, this is great. You could tell the camera operators were just, it was their hell because every time they tried to track the ball, there was so many, like, water droplets on the camera. They, like, lost it for a second. And then they just zoom in on the green.

As a color camera guy, you know, oh, I just noticed it was fucking, like, you could just tell the guy behind him was like, fuck my life. Like, every time the ball is in the air. Where is that ball? Dude, it's also so fun because, like,

day, the wind comes in, rain comes in differently. So, like, when you watch a normal torment, you, like, know what are the birdie holes, like, where they can make up ground. But when you watch the open day-to-day, you're like, I have no idea if this is now a birdie hole or, like, you're hoping to make a boat. Here's my question to you, race. You say that you like to play golf courses in the conditions that you would see them on TV, which if you had one chance to play Royal Port Rush, would you rather play it in today's

conditions or opening day conditions? I would like a little of everything. If you had one day. Today. Really? Yeah. You'd want like 25 mile an hour winds right in your face and rain. When you did your scholarship, there wasn't the weather really tame?

It was a joke. Yeah. And you said you like got pissed off. You hated it. It honestly was so like the old course, I feel like we didn't even really get to play it. It was almost like, and I said this. It was like you played a simulator. Well, no, it was like we, it was like that course with no wind and playing it for the first time.

It was like, and we played it from like the yellow tees. It was like 6,300 yards. It was literally like if you just, if you just uprooted it and set it in like Nebraska. Like if somebody asked you to pay $15 for it, you'd be like, that's a joke. I'll pay you 10. Because it was just like a flat, like, not flat. There's like mounds and stuff, but overall, like the general landscape flat and like, you know, holes two through like 16 feel all pretty similar and all that. And you're like, you're bombing it over certain bunkers being like, what are those doing here?

Like this is weird. And then apparently when you play it with like vicious wind, it's like the whole course changes. And it's just diabolical. You got to hit these fucking low four iron missiles from like one. 40 and stuff and we just didn't get to do that. I was kind of like, I was just hitting a drive and then I'd have like a sand wedge in. It was a joke. It was like, what is this?

Remember that video of you on the first T? That's one of my, that's one of my funny. Oh, my God, man. That's one of the funniest fucking videos I've ever seen. Yeah. Dude. It is an un- Riggs hit the worst shot of all.

Actually, maybe it's fine shot. It was fine shot. No, it wasn't four for my ball. No. It was four because there's fucking, were people walking, across the course. And what they yell out there is just... They made it seem like it was the worst shot.

Totally. That lady almost knocked me over. He just got a big rigs, picks up all stuff. He flies across the world. He loves golf. He's playing the old course for the first time. You're on the first tee. You see it on TV a million times.

And then just this shrieking lady. It just ruins the entire moment. It is... The video is so goddamn funny. It is... I mean, I hate that that happened to you, but it is just just a great video. She already changed the narrative

that you hit a good shot. I know. I immediately, like, that's fucking lady, man. When I think of that first shot, when I think of your first drive of St.

Andrews, I'm like, he shanked it so far, right, that she literally had to scream at the people on whole 16. That was way, like,

right. Yeah, I had misremembered it as well because I thought it was something similar. No. So what happened. She changed the history of, what happened was,

if you recall, I like, so this guy starts, it's like a minute long video. The guy starts filming me. I like addressed the ball. And then the ladies backs me off because she's yelling for,

like the kid and her. idiot kid and his mom walking across the fairway. And there's like a path walking across. She's like, you got to wait a second until these people get out of the way. Total chaos. Finally, after like 20 or 30 seconds, like, okay, now you can hit. I hit.

And then half a set. I'm like trying to watch my ball. And then she just right in my fucking ear. And I'm like trying to pick up my tea. And you can see me. I just abandon it. And I just like walk off the street. I'm like, what is happening right now?

Unbelievable. Oh, man. Just total chaos. But what are we talking about? Port Rush. How awesome it was? The weather. The weather.

The weather, yeah. How would you like it, Frankie? Would you like to be a beautiful day or would you want a little rain? Yeah. I'd like it to be a beautiful day. I don't, I can experience like the golf course well enough with, you know, I could be like, oh, I can see enough to rain on a nice day zone. I'd be like, yeah, I'd be a little harder with the rain.

I'm okay with that. I want to enjoy my time. Fair. Yeah. Yeah, that is a little harder. I would like a blend. Oh, I shot an 86 day. I probably would shot 102 with the rain.

I'm glad it didn't rain. Fair. Yeah, it's fair. It's definitely fair. But we finally got the carnage that we wanted on the last day, which was spectacular. We did have – I mean, we had a little bit of everything. And you're right. The 17th hole sticks out to me where the 17th hole on Saturday guys were legitimately almost driving the green.

I mean, I think Lowry had 54 yards in on 17. And today, guys were legit hitting driver and then, like, four out of the fescue. couldn't get to agree. Nobody was hitting the green. Oh my God. It was just chaos watching it. And that is British Open links golf. That's what that is, man.

The holes change dramatically every day because of the wind. That's what the old course is. That's what Royal Port Rush is. So it was very, very cool that we got that, that we got to see it, you know, the way that it's kind of meant to be seen. But to get back to the slow play and all that, J.B. Holmes getting roasted by Kepka.

Great stuff. 87 today. Just a stunning, stunning number from him. Has J.B. Holmes ever made, public comments about it because I feel like he gets roasted over and over and over again. And I just, I don't even tell you, I couldn't tell you what J.B. Holmes sounds like. He went from third day tied for 67th today.

My thing on the J.B. Holmes is it's not his fault. No. It's the governing body's fault because no one ever does anything about it. Yeah. So he's like, well, this is my method that's making me millions of dollars and year in and year out. Why the fuck would I change it? Fair.

Fine. You guys roast me online. I don't care. I'm making millions of dollars. So it's not his fault. It's on the governing bodies. And that's what Kepka, Kepka was saying in the winter was like, nothing will ever change because no one's ever going to do anything about it. And they're right.

Nothing's ever going to change. So he's going to keep doing what he's doing. I do love Kepka's strategy. If he does like slow play the first like four holes and gets him, it's genius. You think like, JV would know what's going on? He's like, I know. Totally. You see Kepka play all the time.

He just walks up. He rips it. And now he's like walking around. Doesn't have his glove on. Right. He's like, hey, you sure that makes bone at five miles an hour? Are you sure it's not like seven? You know?

And the thing that I love. about how Kepko was roasting him is that is what every single person that goes out on the weekend and plays with their buddies does to the group in front of them where they're like, look at these fucking people. Like, you can tell that he was with his caddy being like, look at this fucking guy. He doesn't even have his fucking glove on. Like, under his breath, like, look at him. Look, he's now he's going to walk out. He's like, he's basically commentating everything he's doing.

Like, now he's going to walk up and look at the slope and he's going to go back to his ball. And he's going to put on his glove. Like, come on, dude. Hit the ball. You're guaranteed in golf to hate the group in front of you and the group behind you, no matter what. Yeah, the guy's behind you. Look at these assholes. Like, can we get out of the way?

Oh, you throw an arm up? Oh, what are you guys going to hit your three wood, 290 from the middle of the fair? Dude, I have a great story about that. Well, not that great. I just totally teed that one up. It's not going to be that great of a story. Just tell us.

I was playing at this guy, a nice club, and the guys behind it, I was playing with the assistant pro at the club, and he's very well liked, like the best dude ever. And the guys behind us just kept hitting towards us. Like, we were playing lights out fast. Like, we were hitting bomb drives onto the green playing great. This two-sum, We had a force, and the Tucson behind us just kept hitting into us.

I'm like, what is going on? Like, these balls are rolling right past the head. I felt like I was at war. I mean, not to make light of war. I know he's, I mean, he's like been to war. You're too in your head about that comment. You're good. Yeah, so I was like.

Yeah, you're fine with that comment. Yeah, I mean, I'm not Will, but I think you're fine. Yeah, I just want a head knock. You did. All right, thanks. So, uh, and, you know, these balls are dropping all over us. Like, what the fuck's going on? So this one hole, the guy just drives one right over my head.

I'm like, holy shit, dude. Like this is getting bad. And then so like the system pro weighs back out. I'm like, hello guys. This has been happening all day. Like stop. The next we go up on the green.

We come back. We're in a cart. The ball hits our cart. So now like I'm like, oh shit. Like this guy's going to give it to him. And this guy's very well respected at the club. So whoever's rolling up on him, it could be a member. It could be anyone.

He's going to give it to him. So he walks up to me. He's like, guys, what the fuck is going on today? Like, like can you wait? And the guy rolls literally has the audacity to say, oh, so what's the protocol? Like, do we have to wait for you to get off the green? approach our ball or and the guy's like the protocol is like to not hit us so if you think you're gonna pull the ball and like great answer like hit us in the back of the neck and shit like you shouldn't

be hitting you're loving in kill shots the guys like okay okay so so so so we'll do that protocol from now and like he just like went on to the green I'm like what just what world are we buddy you know the protocol yeah know the protocol it's a great you don't harm up if you think there's a chance you're going to hit me yeah I guess I knew what the guy is saying we were off the green we were at our carts we hadn't we hadn't left yet yes and he hooked one and just drilled our car at 100 miles an hour. We're like, dude, wait that four seconds. We had the pedal to the metal, like ready to go.

Yeah. And you just hit. So the protocol is if it's possible to hit the people, don't hit yet. Yeah. Just wait. Because you know what? If you're waiting there, you're going to have to wait to the next hole anyways. Love that line.

I love that line. So do you want me to play this video? I mean, I would. I would love watching it again. So I'm going to, we're going to play this now. All you people can go back in. Here we are. The rigs is take it.

That was on the practice swing. We got a four. It's like, I've been waiting to play this. course my whole life. You can see this is, this, I'm, I can see the people out there.

You can see the woman and her idiot kid walking across the fairways. It's a loud of all times. I've taken like seven practice swings down. Riggs is somewhat calm here. He's, but mentally he's rat.

No, mentally he's on, he's a volcano. You got to stay calm. It's the coolest, I mean, it's the coolest. I mean, it's the coolest. Now I'm getting ready to hit. And I wait till,

so. A tee shot of your life right here. Yep, here we go. Just, I just took 11 practice swings while these idiots walked across the railway. First T,

the old course. St. Andrews. Beautiful. Oh my God. She goes back to the well. That lady is a lunatic. And then she goes, stop. She goes far.

Stop. Isn't that just how you pictured it, Sam? That moment. Dude, I got to tell you, my brain was spinning. I didn't know where my ball went. I tried to pick up my tea. I couldn't find it. She actually leaned forward.

Oh, yeah. Like, she wants to step into it. the video. Oh, yeah. Stop! That is so good. God, that's rich. So good. I'm so glad you brought it out.

To ruin everybody's round. I mean, it's etched in my memory now. Every time I think about Sanchez, I think about that. You know, I actually like that. I think I'm going to start doing that with my buddies. On the first tee, if there's like, if it's kind of like a group watching us, like Beth Page Black or something, and my buddy rips one right down the middle, I'm just going to be like, what do you mean?

No, no, no, no. It's right down the middle. Like, no, bro. I'm just calling those people out there. They're fine. Like, don't worry about it. Now, your video is ruined. That's pretty much what happened.

He just never should have really been there. T. T-E-L-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-L-E-E-E-T-E-E-E-G. Things were getting a little weird on the first T-E, the first T-E. First T. Wins. Like, what was that? He was stretching out his neck right before he hit the ball. And then he's like, all right.

The look up at the sky with his eyes closed and like the slow neck crack is like, dude, like, get out of there. Go see someone. Too cold. I think we were all in the same page on like the six or seventh hole when he was really hacking it. He kept like topping it out of the fescue. And he's like four over at the time. It was like, buddy, get in the jet, turn the heat up to nine million. Go back to Florida where it's going to be nine million degrees.

for the next forever till the earth just dies and be in warm weather with your green jacket you won the masters let's play in 75 degree weather or higher only for the remainder of time there's nothing to prove here we've won three uh we've won three claret jugs before there's nothing to prove the weather's fucking 60 degrees 55 degrees it's going to be raining you don't need that you got fucking fuse back all that stuff he ended up grinding it out he shot 78 70 like said so he and he bogeied a couple coming in so he actually had it relatively close to the cut line a little while there uh i just want to say that the pundits these fucking idiots are unlistinable sometimes i mean they and i get that they have to break it all down i've talked

to brandle about it before that like they have to talk about golf they have to talk about tiger they have to do it every day especially during major championships for hours on end like you have to say something fine but this guy hyme diaz was on there and he legitimately his phrasing was this could be the beginning of the end. Buddy, I looked it up after. I actually couldn't believe it. Tiger is the fifth ranked player in the world. He won the Masters.

Remember that? And he just won the fucking Master. We met him after that. It's not like he's the 80th ranked player in the world who got lucky at the Masters and struck gold and won. He's literally the fifth ranked player on the planet. Number five after everything we've been through at this point in 2019 is fucking incredible. When Riggs looked it up and he was fifth in the world, that blew my mind.

I was not expecting fit. Jaime Diaz is about to catch. I'm going to start calling him Jamie Diaz. I know it's going to piss him off. Yeah, it's a good idea. We should start tweeting at him. Next time Tiger wins a master. He should just reply with mozzarella.

His name's Jaime Diaz. I mean, come on. Next time Tiger wins a masters, we're just going to start tweeting, good call, Jamie. But that's just something that'll just get on it. Erk him so much. We should just tweet little videos out of being like, good call Jamie. That's a pronounced Jaime. I think that's how he says it.

I don't know. So that kind of shit. Someone that says that the, it's a lot. the beginning of then for Tiger Woods is just the worst person of all time that drove me insane i couldn't believe what i was hearing could not believe what i was hearing but is he doing like the skip bayliss thing no he's like a very very well respected golf writer he's actually co-wrote like a book i think with tiger well um back in the day so like he was kind of in tiger's like he's like he's there he's good he's legit but that was just one of the worst takes i could i

spit out my water i was like what what the fuck you talk about who would be getting of the end tiger uh when he was wearing those when he wears those massive wind-breaking pants you just know nothing's not I mean he was wearing parachutes on his leg that's not the recipe for six six months those things he ever won a major in those ridiculous he doesn't look good he's not going to play well that is a white

shirt and rain pants was a bad the rain pants we should call it like a WD like cry for hell that is Tiger being like I need to withdraw from the tournament dude the one quote where it's just I want to go home it's like the best quote out of Tiger I also loved it about all of his quotes or he's like, I just want some time off to get away from it.

He's literally played like twice in the last three months. Didn't he just get back from like a huge vacation with his family? Yeah, after Pebble, he's like, after Pebble, he's like, I'm going to play at home. And that's, we hadn't seen him until he showed up. I think he went on like vacations. Because his quote was like, I think like too many planes, hotels, travel. Like, I just want to go home. I think you did.

No, he literally all. He said, I just want some time off to try to get away from it. I just want to go home. And it's like, dude, you've been. You didn't play 12 tournaments this year. You played five. So the point is, like, he just can't play in cold. I will say, too.

The counter argument with my buddies when I was arguing Brooks were like, you're the biggest Tiger fan of all time. He's like not playing in anything but majors. Yeah, it was my part in the cart and like just drank my transfusion and like drove away. Yeah, that's a little different. It is different. It is different. It's also 43.

I know it's a million surgeries. It's just funny at the one year that like he's doing that and like I'm arguing about Brooks. Just tough. That's fair. That's tough. Hendrick Stenson, great moment today. Shanks and iron, just a cold shams. bank way right

cuts back to him he just breaks the club over his leg pretty easily man so easily do you think you can just break a club over your leg first try? They're so expensive that we would never try it for him yeah I'm just asking if you think he could yeah just looking at a seven hour

you're like I can snap this thing I gotta say Patrick Reed did it easily at the US Open Henrik Stenson did it easily at the British Open I think I can do it yeah I mean that thing snapped it'd be I gotta say it be a horrible look if he tried to do it You couldn't in your knees. I mean, you're looking at somebody. Obviously, a baseball bat is way harder.

Way harder. But I think... When they don't break it, it's great. It's so funny. There was one guy. I can't remember who it was, but he kept going back. Yes, yes. A couple years ago, I remember that video.

It was so good, yeah. It's perfect. I got a big leg. I'd go right through that club. I think I'd break my femur. No, you couldn't break it. No. It would break me?

No, I couldn't break it. We were talking about bats or clubs? I'm talking about golf club. I'm talking about golf club. I'd be in the hospital if I'd try to bring a baseball. I think if I, like, shank the seven iron and I try it to snap that thing, it would go, I'd hurt my leg. We might have to get some old clubs or something and have them just try and snap them over our knees. I got some of my apartment.

I'll do it right now. I think part of it is the aggression too, right? You have to be like the worst. You have to be playing horribly and not, and want to go home. And then that anger. It's like how, like, they say moms, like can lift up cards. Like adrenaline. Yes.

Yeah. To save kids and they get trapped. Yeah. Yeah. I actually saw that on the internet the other day. They said that's just like impossible, like statistically. like physically impossible, but like people have done it before. Yeah, that's why it's amazing.

Yeah, I saw a scientist was getting in like huge argument. He was like a, he was a mom can't lift up car truther. Yeah, were you there mom? Can't lift up car truther? Exactly. Nope. Taylor Ford is a caddy for Stuart Sink, who we've had on the show before when we had Stewart Sink on.

He tweeted a great little anecdote at me. He said after this was in response to the Hendrick Stenson's Stap in his club, he goes played a practice round with him on Tuesday. I asked him about his three wood. He said one time he was so pissed off. after hitting it that he threw it back in the bag grabbed his driver instead and snapped that over his knee because he didn't want to break his three wood. So, Henrik Sanzi can't break his three wood.

Smart. No, that is. You just can't. That man needs his three wood. Yeah. Yeah. No, you, I mean, you need your three wood too now, right? You've been hitting that a lot.

I'm smoking the three wood. No driver? I actually, so I've just been swinging a lot better. Like, I'm not scoring that well. I have the worst putting of all time. Riggs pointed this out to me in our Aldera video, which you put out on our YouTube page, such a good video. It is an all-time video.

such a good watch to see such a nice golf course and watch Kevin and watch Kevin and watch Chappell. Some of the positive feedback we've ever gotten. Yeah. People coming out of the cloud sending this message like, you got to do this more. Really, really good video. I just can't put. I'm three putt and everything.

I'm hitting greens and regulation, hitting fairways. My three wood, I'm swinging so freely. And I know exactly what I'm doing. I'm like extending my hands at the ball with the club with the three wood. And then when I have my driver, I just don't do that. And I'm like hooking it. When I have my three hood, it's something about like, I mean, the titleist three wood for some reason right now.

It's like a heavy head and just seems like a heavy head. and just seems like it just goes right through the ball so easy. I'm crushing. Confidence over the ball. That's huge, Frankie. I'm hitting like 285 yard, like perfect draws right down the middle with the three wood. How much fun is that? It's making golf,

unbelievably fun, but I'm playing. I played a golf course that was like 6,200 yards, and everything was three wood wedge, and I was a nightmare. I'm like, I need a seven iron in my hand one of these times. I can't play a golf course driver wedge. My wedge is too bad. You're not a renowned wedge player. No.

Jordan Smith, tied for 20th. He was hanging on, hanging on. It was kind of amazing. It was like, he's back now. At one point he was making a run. He also was missing fairways all the time. And he was still making birdies and playing great.

He was the master of every time they cut to him, he's in a horrible spot. And then you'd look up and it'd be like 15 feet for birdie. What are you talking about 15 feet for birdie? And then he finally regressed to the mean with a final round 77 finished tie for 20th. But he was right in the mix there for a while. Speaks great. I mean, it really reminded me watching him how much. He's just fun to watch.

He's interesting. He's always got something going on. He's chit-chattering. He's kind of a psychopath on the course, not in like a John Romway, but in like a, you know, he's always kind of talking to his ball. He's always trying to like, he's always grinding. He's always in the lab. He's neurotic.

He's very neurotic. That's the way I would describe Jordan Speeth on the course. I think that's correct. He's very neurotic out there. So it's nice to see him getting in the mix, but he ended up, like I said, regressing to what's become his mean this year. He finished high for 20th. Justin Rose was the final round, 79.

another horrible final round, which there was carnage everywhere, all over the place out there. Zander Shoffley. This is one of the more fascinating storylines of the entire weekend. So they tested the R&A tested 30 drivers before the tournament early in the week

to see if they were not conforming because there's certain, you know, specifications that they have to be in order to be legal, to be in play and all that. Well, it got leaked that Zander Shavley was one of the guys they tested whose driver failed. So he had to legitimately go back into, you know, the loudie.

He's a Calaway guy. Go in there. Have him kind of whip up a new driver and have it be legal and have it be something that he likes after playing this driver for God knows how long. I imagine right before the fucking British Open. You just have to change your driver. He then went nuclear on Saturday after his round. Very public. The RNA, they pissed me off because they attempted to ruin my image by not keeping this matter private.

it. This is me coming out and treating them the exact way that they treated me. I thought it was a little bit unfair. We're the traveling circus. He's that about the BGA tour, about golf. There's certain moving parts on our tour here, and everyone on the grounds knew for some odd reason, meaning knew that he had failed the test. So that's enough to throw me off my game. I can handle it.

I'm a big boy, but it was just handled unprofessionally, and it did tick me off for sure. He went on to say, I don't sit at home and test my driver. To my best belief, I was playing a conforming driver. I think the RNA's job, well, the PGA Tour's job takes it up with the manufacturer. Our job as players is show up the tournaments, put on a show for the R&A and for the tour, and to handle our business. It's not to make sure our stuff is conforming. There's a little bit more of what we'll get into in a minute. But just to take those comments, that part I actually very much agree with where he's like, look, I'm not a fucking engineer or a scientist.

Like if my manufacturer and you guys all know who the manufacturers are, you being the PGA tour and the RNA, like you guys know who all the manufacturers. My manufacturer gives me this driver, I'm not going to fucking put it through my lab test in my basement and make sure it's conforming. Like, what do you want me to do? I kind of agree with him on that. Yep. Very much agree with him on that. Now, some of this other stuff, especially we're going to get into right here, it kind of makes me sound like he's just like the least fun person to hang out with. He says, it is an unsettling topic.

I've been called a cheater by my fellow opponents. It's all joking. But when someone yells cheater in front of 200 people, to me, it's not going to go down very well. he thought it was funny. That's not something you joke about. And he went on to say, someone else was like, when we were chipping on the practice screen,

oh, are your wedges illegal now? Now, to me, that's just like, probably like somebody like kids just busting his balls. Being like,

oh, are those wedged legal, bro? Yeah. Great. Good shirt. Tohander's like, he didn't like, excuse me?

Right. That's, sir, my equipment is good as far as I know. Don't call me a cheater, sir. He seems way too uptight about it. Yeah.

And I understand that he's mad that the RNA made it public. and he doesn't like the way that makes him look. But I don't think people are going forward being like, oh, there's Zander Shoffley, the guy who uses an illegal driver. Obviously, the people he plays with are making fun of him for it, but they're not taking it seriously. And I also don't think fans are going forward being like,

Zandr Schofley, that guy's a cheater. I can't root for that guy. Agreed. You know, and the cheating label is the one thing in golf that nobody can get, of course, because you can't get it off. You can't shake it. I don't think he was even in jeopardy of getting this because of all the reasons we just talked about

with like the conforming, you're not a fucking engineer and all that. So I think he's way too sensitive. Again, it made me sound like... He dug himself a hole, though. He did a Frankie Borelli. No, he just kept talking. He kept talking and it got worse and worse. Like, throwing other guys on the bus, like, well, I mean, there's a PXG one that failed. Yeah, there's a other me one that failed. Why aren't you talking to them? I can let you know right now.

It's like, shut the fuck up, dude. Shut up. He did do it, Frank. You know what he did? Is during his round, I think he probably got so fucking pissed off. Like, he had missed a couple of fairways, and he was like, you know what? I'm going to go nuclear. He just made his decision. And then afterwards it was like, all right, dude, you made a couple good points. Just like, get out of here.

He was railroading people. Railrooting. This part on our outline, I can't believe how many quotes there are because he wouldn't stop talking about it. On our outline, it's easily the part of the most text because Zander Shoffley wouldn't stop talking about it. Stop talking about it, dude. Nobody cares.

Yeah, just let it go. Yes. Just let it go. Or just come out and say like, yeah, the RNA made a mistake. You know, usually this information is not released. I honestly have no idea about my driver. They try to give me the best club. It didn't fit.

So whatever, you know, I play the best club. We'll try to do better going forward. Whenever I hear the R&A, I always think of the fucking IRA, like the Republican Army of Ireland. I'm always like, I think of like, I feel like they all have to go into this room and like there's this guys in like, in like army like. Fatigues. Oh yeah. And they're like checking. You're like in the movie 21 when they've got, they've like got Zander Schaafley in the basement chain to a chair like beating him with his driver.

Like what is this thing? This isn't legal. There's something about like playing golf over in Ireland. Like the fog is coming over, the water and the rain and the RNA. It's like it feels like an old school. I feel like I'm watching peeky blinders. Like it's just everything's very old school about it. So when he keeps saying that, I'm like, where would they take him in the back and like meat clover?

They might have. It sounds like they might have. But yeah, he kind of went all in, which again, it was fascinating. I couldn't come unglued to it. And I couldn't stop finding quotes. We found more quotes for this. anything we've ever done. Yeah, maybe any topic I've ever seen.

I kept Luriega being like, well, I have to put this one in. I have to put this one in. The one about him, somebody calling, like, his wedges being like, are those legal and him, them calling him a cheater in front of 200 people? That's very funny. And then it's very funny. It's hysterical if somebody walks by and like, you know, oh, are your wedges illegal down too?

That's just such a good shirt. And at the end of that quote, he goes, he thought it was funny. Yeah. It's because it is, and he definitely put his hand on his hip, like, when he said that. Oh, definitely. Yeah. Yeah. And he was like, I get along with that, I get along with that guy.

And he gets along with me, too. And he, I know it was like meant to be funny. And the announcers were being like, oh, was it like a joke? And he was like, he was joking, yes. But this is not a joking matter or something like that. It's like, dude, fucking relax. Like, they're just busting your balls. So he just went too far.

Like he said, he kind of dug himself into a Frankie Burrelli situation. Lee Westwood, great to see Lee Westwood, the mix. He was, for me, my number one I was rooting for. for come Saturday morning. When I looked at the leaderboard, everybody was in the mix. I want Lee Westwood to win the major championship. I just, I've always liked Lee Westwood of all the Euros. He just

seems like a great dude. Another guy that looks good these days too. Dude, we were looking up pictures of him from like 20 years ago. Yeah. He looked pathetic 20 years ago. He was like such a gross fat slob. Now, he looks incredible. Dude, he looks unbelievable. His shoulders are like me.

If Lurchin I stood next to each other, I think that would be his shoulders. His shoulders are huge. Yeah, he's a big boy. Good looking guy. Really good looking guy. He looks great. And he played great.

It was fun to track him. He played great. You can tell he's got like this second phase of life where he's got this fiancee who's gorgeous. She's on his bag. They're like fist pumping each other out there. He's hot now. He's got a whole thing going.

It's like good for you, Lee West. Let's talk about like what does he got to do with the majors now, though? I mean, everything, every single graphic I saw on TV. He's, what does he have the most active major attempts and he has a one one? Yeah, like 40. What is it? Like, it was like 80-something rounds or something like that. Could be, yeah.

It's a huge number. It's way higher than the second guy. Yeah, no, he does. He has the most. He has 43 professional wins, European and PGA Torking by. Oh, he's a great player. He has to win a major, no. He's a former one, I believe.

Yeah. And he's got a bunch of, like, seconds in top five. Oh, fun. When do people start talking? I mean, they're talking about it now. We've been talking about it. We're like so past it now that we've forgotten about Lee Westwood now that when he is in the right.

Oh, shit. There's Lee Westwood. hasn't been in a while. Right. It was the first time he's played relevant in a major in several years. So I was rooting for him hard. He, of course, came crashing down. I thought I tweet, I wrote out this tweet on Saturday, and I thought I sent it,

but I just put my phone down, I guess. I didn't send it. And I was really sad because I went to look for it today when he missed that, like, one-foot putt. And my tweet that I had written out was, man, it's going to be so sad when Lee Westwood jokes and misses some really short puts. And I just was tough. I don't think I did. I went to try to find it, and I couldn't find it.

Oh, no. I'm thinking of that's the most Lee Westwood putt of all time, which I had to resort to that because I couldn't quote tweet my cool tweet from yesterday. In October 2010, Westwood became the world number one golfer ending the reign of Tiger Woods. Yeah, so world number one, he's won 40-some-odd times around the world, and he's never won a major, and he's finished top five a bunch times. So I was rooting for Lee Westwood. He didn't end up getting it done.

I don't know what he finished. We could probably find I got the leaderboard right here. Oh, he finished fourth. Tied for fourth. So another top five finish. Good for him. Good week. Matthew Fitzpatrick, our guy,

running down the 18th hole. That was the worst of the weather. He hits his approach shot and he just starts sprinting. I mean, he just ran right through the frescoe, right up to the green. I loved that. Played as fast as he could, finished up and just got the fuck out of there, which was so cool. And then he afterwards, he quote tweeted and was like exactly on somebody at golf.com or somebody

being like, I just want to get the hell out of here or whatever. So I have a pretty funny exchange with Matt Fitzpatrick that I saw on Twitter. So he tweeted out there isn't a better person There isn't many better people on tour than Shane Lowry Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke Which I love when they say that Yes, it's great I got called a bloke like you wouldn't believe

When we said when I told Tommy Fleetwood But they were using it in like a bad term They're like look at this bloke When I told Tommy Fleetwood he could fuck I got into like a European Twitter sphere But that was a bad moment in my life Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke Everything about him and his family is just wonderful

Congrats mate Another thing I would love to call people mate You too So this guy, Ryan Mick, whatever, just a super serious Twitter guy just goes, why were you so desperate to get your OB ball back on the first today? You couldn't have made a kid's day by giving it to him or her? Very strange. So Fitzpatrick actually quote tweeted and wrote, probably to use it since I only got to hit one shot with it with like a laughing emoji. I gave plenty of way of them all week.

So like he, I mean, this, like, yeah, he must have just went OB on the first shot. And the guy's like, why didn't you just leave that for a kid or whatever? And he's like, no, I only like took one swing with it. and I was absolutely finding that ball because I gave away way too many things. Like, I'm just done giving away balls to this golf course. He's a great follow-up. Yeah, he responds to everyone.

He loves the laughing emoji. Yeah, he loves it. He uses it a lot. Oh, yeah. We'll have to talk to about that. I mean, look, the last three of the last four tweets have, I mean, the laughing emoji is riddled on his Twitter time. Yeah, I'm a bit of a Patrick's guy.

He's a good follow-up. It's kind of a cry-wolf situation. If your laugh emoji at everything, then, like, are you really laughing at anything? No, he's laughing. I think he's just crying and laughing all the time. He's always right. Matthew Fitzpatrick says. No, he's laughing his eyes.

Like, dude, what's going on? Like, this Twitter shit's funny. Are you guys on here? Yeah. He's amazing. His website's free, man. He's in the back of his, like, fucking, what's a super English car? Rolls-Royce?

I was going to say Mercedes-Benz. He's just crying and laughing. And his driver's like, what's going on back there? He's looking at Twitter. Looking at Twitter. I was just trying to think. Is Aston Martin English? I think Rose-Royce, I nailed that, no?

Or is that like... I thought so. That sounds right. Is that wrong? Is that a car? American car, Rolls-Roy? I'm not a car guy. I'm not a car guy either.

Fuck. I would also like to say that I'm not a truck. Dude, there's a lot of car guys that are getting mad at this. It's a French company, but those things are everywhere over there. Car guys, I apologize. I know I actually like cars. I just don't know anything about them. I have a Mazda.

It sucks. Yep. Rolls-Royce British luxury code. I googled English car and a mini Cooper popped up. Bang! Bang! I think of awesome powers. I actually take that back.

My Mazba doesn't suck. I just don't take great care of it. It's got some hiccough. Great car. Yeah, it is a good car. It's just I don't take great care of it. David Duval with a 91 in the first round. We touched on that earlier, but I'm going to bring up again.

He made a 14 on one hole. We played the wrong ball for like the whole hole. They had to go back and do a whole deal. That was great. They first carded it a 15. Then they took his score completely off the board on that hole because they didn't know what to do. So he played like, you know, 13 holes or 14 holes.

And so that hole they just had white because they were trying to figure it out. Then it went to a 13. Then it was finally marked the 14. He had a great quote after, which everybody should take a lot of notes out of this. They asked him about it, of course, because he posted a 91. And his response about posting the 991 was you have an obligation as a professional athlete. If you play, you post your score.

Am I happy about that? Is there some embarrassment to it? I don't know. But I teed off in the open and I shot 90 today. So put it in the board. Love it. Absolutely love it. Just awesome.

Just so good. Look, man, David Duvall won the British Open. He was the number one ranked player in the world during Tiger Woods' prime. He now sits in. you know, maybe the most important, if not the second or third, most important, like golf analytical chair in the world, right up there with Brando and those guys.

And he stepped out the booth, or he steps out of the booth, like once or twice a year to play golf, your number is just a number. That's like what we say about Trent Daddy. Your number is just a number. That's just your number. You just got a number.

It's good to have a number. It's great. You teed it up at Beth Page Black and you post what you post. He teed it up at the open. He posts what he posts. Like, nobody, there's no embarrassment whatsoever. Power to Trent, you know your number. A lot of people out there.

144. Just give me a double. No, not Trent. Trent, what do you have on those last three holes? 10, 14, 11, 8, whatever it was. It's unbelievable. There were a lot of them. But you know your number. Not everybody does. Power to you. And it's respect. And this is exactly what Duval gets as well. Total respect. There's no. A lot of these guys, too. They're cowards. They like withdrawal because they get embarrassed. They're playing bad. They claim they have like some wrist injury or some bullshit. No, no. He went right back out there. He shot 78 in the second round. He posted. 27 over par for two days and that's just what he shot so big credit of david duval being out there and kind of battling through it kiz top 30 tied for 30 uh big for us lurch and i had a top uh kis finish his top 40 was plus 150 yeah we put 100 bucks on that done easy 150 bucks when he finishes t 20 all the time actually i thought he was gonna have a really good chance to win this thing but i mean that's just a great bet it's kind of a weird line by the book because i mean he's like

the best putter in the world and like he's a straight iron player it seemed like a perfect It was. It was a perfect bet. Why didn't you release that to the world? I should have. But I've been pretty cold, so I didn't want to go public. No, we were kind of hiding that one, keeping that card close to my chest. He had a phenomenal moment on TV because he's playing really well on Thursday's round, and they were kind of showing him a lot. And they cut right to him hitting his second shot on the 18th hole. And he's kind of talking with his caddy who will get to, it wasn't due. He will get to that in a second. But they show him. And right when the camera gets right in his face, he gives a little motion. He goes, I'm going to hit a low fucking bullet. You can just hear it right on TV. It was so good. And then he hit in the bunker and made bogey. Yeah, it was not a low bowl. But it was such a good kid's quote. He's just chilling in his fucking little like,

a kid South Carolina drawler. I'm a low fucking bullet right in there. Dewey, our guy Dewey, man, Torres Calf. Devastating, dude. Devastity. Those calves are huge. They're ready to pop, man.

People must have heard that pop from across the country. Wound a little too. Oh, my God. It's like putting something in like the oven or the micro wave and it's like man that thing's gonna fucking pop dude like that thing's getting too hot that hot dog has been in there too long and that skin's just gonna break real soon and that thing just fucking popped what a bummer man terrible what an absolute bummer things are at their end so they had j t who's his swing coach was on the bag luckily he had him filling him for the week but dewey's gonna be out for a while

tore his calf walking to the driving range at loroport rush horrible news like hit the ground was like you had to be a sniper had to be a sniper had to be be a scene. Oh my God. Dewey's a big guy. Huge. He's going to the ground. People are like, what's going on right now?

And he's got kids. Kiz knows everybody. So kids was probably like, Dewey, what the fuck's going on here? It had to be a scene. Yeah. You think like, did kids like roll around? I mean, did Dewey like roll around the ground? Like screaming?

Yeah, just like. Ah! Yeah. It's got to be outrageously painful. Especially those things. They're huge. Yeah. Oh, I would kill.

For more pain. I've seen an Achilles pop before. That's sketchy and crazy. But a calf I've never seen. I don't even like. Just just like pull apart? Like what is a... I don't know, man.

I don't know what happens to a cat. I pictured his to just become deflated. Like a football? Like a little kid ran up to him and just like, and poked him in the back of the calf and it just exploded. Just deflated. Yeah, with like a pin. Someone pinned him right in the back of the calf and it just exploded. Man, I love doing, though.

It is a bummer, yeah. We love you, Dewey. Can't wait until you're back. Get those calves back out there. They'll be back. But yeah, kids, you know, decent week. Tive for 30th made us some money. So that's always good.

Thanks, kids. Fee now, third, the guy just keeps getting close. He just can't quite get over, but he is one of the most consistent players in the planet. Third, he's had a phenomenal year yet again after having an awesome year last year where he finished second like 100 times. Tommy Fleetwood, really, I think a lot of people thought he was going to get it done. I think a lot of people going into Saturday. I think Fleetwood was a lot of folks pick being up there with how much success he's had in big, you know, in the final round of the U.S. Open at Chinatog last year, in the Ryder Cup with how close.

putt he was and then you get him out there you know he's obviously an english guy you get him in the british open that's kind of his weather and all that it just kind of felt like he was going to get it done uh he couldn't put i mean on sunday he really had a chance early in the round the first three or four holes he had putts that were all makeable if he would have made him he would have really uh cut that lead to like one or two and instead he couldn't get any momentum going and then when he started to get beat up by the weather and uh lowry kept making put after putt it was kind of over but fleetwood with the second place finished strong showing uh john I thought he was going to snap.

I thought we were going to lose John Rom on Sunday. There's a point where they cut to him, I think, on the fifth hole, and he just kept hitting shots out of his bunker that were, like, hitting the lip, coming back to him. And I just thought, oh, here we go. Here we go. And to his credit, he really kept his cool out there. Every day that the sun rises is a day that John Rom could snap.

Oh, yeah. Okay? Yeah, because one time he gluck. I agree with you, there was one pot where it didn't drop, and I was ready for just like, you know, like Dragon Ball Z where they're like, D. I really, really thought John Rom was going to have that. But, you know, he kept his composure.

maybe he broke some things when he got on. I don't know. I can't believe he kept in that bunker. I couldn't believe it. Because when he lobbed that one out and then it rolled back to his feet, I was like, here we go.

This is going to be a snapshot. And he actually kept it together. So power to him and power to that like coach that he has that I don't know, he used to diffuse bombs that he has. I think it was a fifth hole. He hit his T shot into this bunker. He had a fried egg in a fairway bunker,

pop bunker. So he like couldn't go up. He couldn't go forward. He couldn't go anywhere. And he goes left. It's a great shot like 10 feet out of the bunker and he goes you hear and go sit sit and just starts to trick one that just rolls right back to his feet in the bunker I thought oh man here we go

and he kept this cool so amazing the next one he hit the lip and it just got out it sat on the top it's amazing that Stenson's the one that snapped the golf club I could see that a little bit though yeah he's over though like I mean wrong totally the fact has Ron snapped I don't know Ron's in the clear yet either I mean we can hear some stories about what happened I don't I haven't seen Rom Snap a club, but I think he's the type of guy that has broken things in his home. When he gets home, he just like breaks every dish. Oh. He just gets back and he just goes absolutely nuts.

He's like looking at the mirror and he's just not doing anything and he just punches the mirror. His fingers are bleeding real quick. He's like, yeah. Stenson, he's really interesting. He's so rattled. He breaks the club and then he's very calm after. You know, he just walks really calmly. He kind of like places the club that's now broken.

He's a little bit of a psycho too the way he wears his sunglasses over. That's what I'm saying. When he pulls those things up, you can see a little crazy in those eyes. Oh, yeah. The second group that came through on Thursday made a hole in one. I got to give a tough little shout out to our guy, Marty Mush, who, you know, he's a big gambler. He's the worst gambler in the world. He came up to me on Wednesday.

And he goes, Rigsie, Rigsie, Rigsie, not a whole one for the entire tournament. It's plus 150. Can you believe that? Takes the bat. legit you know because the British Open starts I think at like 3 a.m. The bet was over. He had lost. He wakes up at like seven.

He starts tweeting, yeah, I can't believe in seconds. He didn't get to watch. He didn't get any exciting moments where the ball rolls just past the hole and you keep rooting for it. It was over before. I mean,

that's just an outrageous loss. To bet no hole in one and have a group do it at three o'clock in the morning before you even, crazy. Before you even knew the tournament started, you lost a pretty like in a tough way, right? Honestly, how many holes in one was worth it? It might have been the only one.

I think that was it. Which is insane. Insane loss. That was the first group to go off. It was like the second group that went through on, I think, 16 or I can't remember which hole. And he was kind of pissed. He was like, I pulled it. And then it just caught that little ridge and Trundle right at the hole went bottom to the cup.

Went right in the heart, man. Sorry, Mike and Mush. That's tough break for mush. The last thing I want to say is just that the player caddy conversations are by far the best part of the TV coverage. They got to figure out a way mic come up, put mics on their golf bags, whatever they do. to get as many player caddy conversations pre-shot as you possibly can where the announcers say nothing. They don't say a word.

And you just get everything because they had a couple moments this final round where even the tournament was over. It was like a four or five-shot lead. And still, it was Lowry and his caddy when they're chatting it up going through the shot and that type of like direct look inside the brain of not only the player but like the one guy that he gets the lean on during the match or during the round and then going back and four.

and thinking he'm like I'm going to aim right at that guy in the blue and I'm going to hit that little cut he's like you like the seven and the cat I love the seven just step right on it like that kind of shit is fucking awesome feed that into my into my veins so I love that if anybody's listening that handles and is a producer on that TV coverage fucking hammer that shit because I love it totally agree and I also loved Lowry's caddy I thought I mean obviously he's playing well you know he's top of the leaderboard playing well all weekend but his closing common is always like super positive or just like one last thing you know pick a small target and go right at it like love that i just thought their interaction and obviously yes that insight into those

conversations can't be beat all the time yeah the the tour caddies are so good at their last the last noise that comes out of their mouth always being like such a green light confidence yeah yes and they all have their own but it's always like that club's perfect or it's like i love it i think grell are you said to speak uh paint the picture yeah yeah Yeah, and then it's gone. It's great. Love that. Paint the picture.

I love just whisper right in Zia. Paint the picture. And just pulling away, pulling out a shot. Yeah, because then they do the full, they grab the bag. They do one last word, right? They go, love that club. And then they do the grab bag and they step like five steps away and then they lean on the bag where the guy hits. It's awesome.

I think it's right behind him and I think I would say you're a 10 feet to the right. I think I would say you're a superstar. I like that close. Mine would be like a seven iron here. Jordan. Yes, seven iron, you know, like 175, let it fly. Let it fly. Let it fly.

Let it fly. CET fly. Yeah, let it fly. But yeah, I do love that. They'll always be like, or like that last reassuring like, like, yep, like, like, the player will say like, will question them one last time. Like an eight here. Yeah. Yep.

Yep. Just that one like, yep. Totally. Good. Or like that's good. Or something like that. Their tonality too is like spot on, you know, just because it's so, it's like so upbeat that. I feel like when they give that final line, like the player.

smile. Frankie, we're going to need something when we do the Whitney match. Maybe let it fly. I love it. Please hit me every time. Let it fly. First tee or something. Like, if we're debating like three wood or driver, I'm like, take the big stick.

Let it fly. No, you got to give me time. You got to be like, take the big stick. And then I'll grab it. And then I'll be like, big stick? Right over that bunker? Right. Right over that left bunker.

Right? You'd be like, yep, let it fly. Yes. That just feels right. That's cool. Yes. Oh, that's good stuff. I'd either be yupp or bingo.

Dude, yup is. Solid. Yep. Right over that bunker? Yep. It's like 82 playing 86 bingo. Bingo's good too. Bingo's great.

Yeah. I can take a bingo. And then you could say it again like when you hit it right at the flag and you see it land, you go bingo. Change it to bang. Bang. Bingo. Maybe that becomes your catty nickname. Like we just call you bingo like bones.

You're just bingo out there. Potentially might be caddy in the next few weeks. Looking forward to it. All right, bingo. That's true. Yeah, we can say we have a little thing happening. So we obviously had Steve, our guy who won the auction. Steve paid, I believe, $8,000 in like $4 for him and three buddies to play golf with us.

We're raising all the money for all the proceeds go to social teas, who they take dogs from shelters and place them with great owners. We love dogs. We love animals. Barstle did a whole deal. Blogs for dogs. Ours was, like I said, the four of us, playing with the four of you, which, is at turned out to be this guy Steve, a great guy, I've been texting with him, really cool dude,

and three of his buddies. And what we're doing is we've got a whole fucking thing happening where he's a Chicago area guy. We're going out for the Barstow Classic. I believe it's, what, August 16th? 17th, I believe. The 16th is the Barstall. Oh, the Classic is the 16th.

Yeah, we're playing the 17th. So the Barstow Classic is the 16th at Harborside in Chicago. We are playing in that, or I'm sorry, we are going to be there for that, the four-play crew, a bunch of Chicago guys, they're Big Cat and the Chicago Barstool guys are going to be there. It's going to be a scene.

Paige Sprannick and Tara Kuzak going to be there. You can bid to play with them in that. There's a lot of stuff happening. But, long story short, we're going. Lurch is going to caddy for two guys who are playing in that who caddied for us at Aaron Hill. Oh, shit.

So they're coming down. I'm going to caddy for my boy Hankie, Hanky, hanky, and then I think the second guy is Tim or Ben or I I don't know. He's filling out another caddy that also is part of the Aaron Hills group. So they're all coming down. I'm going to catty for him. Steve,

different Steve, the marketing guy at Aaron Hills was trying to get me a caddy outfit. I just hope it's big enough or else it's going to be out. It's going to be custom made. Yes. It's going to have to be custom made. Or it's going to be outrageously funny. And these guys know that you're going to slow them down a bit, right? No, I mean, it's a...

We'll figure out the right way to do it. Well, the Barso classic... No, I meant because of just like you. Not like... What do you mean? Like you being slow and lurchy. I mean, that's just an outrageous, like, jab punch that I don't even think hit. But I'm not that slow.

I think the silence in the room while you just respond to. Well, no, because we had to have questions about, like, what you were even talking about. I think I'd beat you in a race. I haven't ran since, like, senior high school. You think I'm, like, running all the time? I talk about that all the time. You can't beat me in a race. I have a know you can.

I haven't ran a long distance. Those little legs will probably break after 30 yards. They might snap like toothpicks. In fact, I'm going to be able to beat you backwards. That I don't agree with. I actually can't picture you run. It also wasn't like a debate of like, can you just run? Either way.

I'm not going to slow down. I think we'll have a great time. We should do a race. What we're doing. We're hysterical. We're cadding for them and the our Aaron Hills guys are guys. And then we are going up that night to Aaron Hills. We're staying with our crew with Steve who can won the auction and his boys.

We're staying at Aaron Hills. We're going to do some night putting. We'll wake up Saturday. those boys are flipping back around and caddy him for us and we're going to play Aaron Hills we're having an all-time day Saturday which is going to be August 17th at Aaron Hills We're going to make a whole video out of the whole experience. It's going to be great and then we're getting the hell out of there So that is something cool. It's coming up. That's why Lurch was saying he's got some caddy he's going to do It's going to be a good time. Bingo bang. That's British Open that's the Open Championship recap It was great. We don't have another major until the Masters which is insane

It's insane to think about Tiger Woods will tee it up as the defending champion of the tournament which is cool. He'll also do that at the at the Eastlake at the Tour Championship, which is cool. So that's it. That's all I got. Everybody have a lovely week. We will be back on Thursday. Hit it hard.

Hit it hard. Hit it hard. Hit it hard.
