Starting point is 00:00:00 I'm going to be the right club today. Yeah. That's better than most. How about him? That is better than most. Better than most. Neil is here. Sully, it's great to be here. T.C. is here. Always a pleasure, sir. DJ Pi is here. Great to be here. And on the line, we don't have five microphones in the killhouse, so we'll actually have a better
Starting point is 00:00:50 capability to do a five man pod with Randy in Denver. Hello Randy. Hey guys, sorry to use up the listener line each of these days, but appreciate you guys having me back. Not only that, the intro took so long the Calaway has had to unfortunately seed their time for advertisement
Starting point is 00:01:08 on this podcast this week. They actually elected in honor of the masters and the limited commercial interruption. They could have gone a lot of different ways with that. They could have told you about the three out of six guys they had, three out of top six guys, they had on the leaderboard. They could have done that.
Starting point is 00:01:21 They could have done what's in the bag for Xander, Rom, Leish, any of those guys. Could have just let TC talk about leash, which I think will probably do. You're going to get that anyway. But they let them act. They could have sent you to CalAGolf.com, you know, to check out all the content they have from Master's League, but they didn't do that, right? They didn't.
Starting point is 00:01:37 They see their time. They could have sent well wishes to Joe Ford with their time, limited commercial interruption. Proud Paul. Thank you. Again, we didn't see Joe Ford this year. I know. I think it's time to be Proud, Paul. Thank you. Again, we didn't see Joe Ford this year. I know. I think it's time to be worried about Joe Ford.
Starting point is 00:01:46 A little worried. Hideki Matsu-Yama is the champion of the 2021 Masters. And what's your rating? Rani, let's go to you first. What is, I feel like you were pretty pumped up there on Twitter there watching those final few moments. What a lots of different ways I can go with this take. Let's let's let's play it straight at the beginning. Very cool. Great for him. Worthy champion this week. Great
Starting point is 00:02:13 for the whole country of Japan. Their first men's major champion. So the caddy moment, I'm sure we'll talk about that. That was so cool. Yeah. Bit of a big off, though. I was kind of ready to get on with it about the turn. I was good, just a little flat today. Randy, you're just pissed that they're actually growing the game now. The game is now officially, it's grown and it's too big. Yeah, it's getting real big.
Starting point is 00:02:42 You're drinking a lot of milk. This geney's about to get out of the bottle. I hope everybody understands the ramifications. I heard an outrageous number tied to this today. On, what do we think this means for Hadecki in terms of like fortune over the course of his life, in terms of what the master's means in his status as a, you know, an athlete slash celebrity in Japan.
Starting point is 00:03:04 I heard a B number thrown out for how much it could mean to him of the course of his life. That seemed pretty big, but I think it's safe to say the point being that there's a lot writing on this in terms of, we probably as Americans aren't familiar with. We can still talk about an act like we understand that it's a big deal, but I think it's probably even bigger than we have grown to understand.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Is that fair to say? There's a lot of people in Japan. And they, you know, they ride for their countrymen. So I'll be tracking the Nomura stock price tomorrow, the Lexus stock price. Let's see how the partners are doing tomorrow. I think that'll be a good test case, you know? Indeed.
Starting point is 00:03:40 You know, we were both very excited to see indeed on the color of the... Oh, that's right. Yeah, they help people get jobs. Sorry, maybe the B number was number was was Japanese yen, though. That's possible. I didn't want to say that. I didn't want to say that as well. It was a billion yen.
Starting point is 00:03:52 But I think I think I'm the whole Japan is a sporting culture and as a point of national pride, like as a percentage of the population, they're a hell of a lot more in the golf than we are here in the state. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's what I said, would definitely seem to be. And it's interesting watching Hadecki, this is total projection because, of course, we don't hear him speak,
Starting point is 00:04:12 we hear him speak in Japanese, but it seems very uncomfortable with the spotlight. And I think it comes with just almost like he, to understand English, probably needs to read lips a little bit. But like when Xander and Xander's cat ear congratulating he just looks so uncomfortable kind of like what are you saying? I'm trying to still understand what you're saying to me and interpret what you're saying It doesn't look like you know We got a glimpse into what it was like emotionally for him to do that
Starting point is 00:04:36 I think which is what sorry to cut you off that that's what made the I forget what Jack Furbers calling it the Venice camp. I think the steady cam, the shallow depth of field cam, that's what made that so cool, right? It was like there's no one talking to him, it is just purely him soaking in that moment and fist pumping with everybody and just trying to wrap his head around everything and just walking to go sign a scorecard.
Starting point is 00:04:57 That was awesome, man. I mean, that moment's always really cool, but in a weird way, it's almost cooler when you don't have that long history to go back on with a guy, right? Where it's just you kind of feel like you're really like seeing this guy have a big moment for the first time almost even though I know he's won a bunch but he just doesn't feel like, I'm totally with you, it doesn't feel like we in America at least we really get like a window in, you know? That was really really really cool. I think conversely though from what it sounds like in Japan
Starting point is 00:05:27 They don't really get a window in either. Yeah, he sounds like he's just notoriously shy and which is okay Oh totally like I think that's more interesting than somebody like his friend Kevin Nah who's there thirsty Kevin But like not kitchen straight there's the Kevin, but like not catching straight. He's, you know, but yeah, I think that's, you know, he's a very, because he's been under an immense spotlight for the last decade plus more than, more than I would say, anybody this side of golf, except for maybe Tiger, right? It does seem like there's a, whether it's,
Starting point is 00:06:04 he does it to himself, it seems like there's a whether it's he does it to himself. It seems like there's a lot of weight on his shoulders, you know, pretty, pretty consistently over the last five to seven years. One thing I noticed in the, in Butler Cabin was, you know, it's a lot of one word answers until they, until Nance asked about Japan. And I think he gave the most, you know, thoughtful or it seemed like that's the one that got him to open up a little bit, which I thought was really interesting. It was like what you know kind of asked him about his pride and his country and everything. And you could tell he almost was like that. You could see a little bit of emotion there. So
Starting point is 00:06:38 I thought that was pretty cool. This could be, you know, I'm willing to hand up. I could be totally outside my depth here, speaking on golf in Japan and its perception, but I think a lot of the blow up has to coincide with, it was probably right before this, but a lot of it probably has to coincide with Tiger, and especially his early career, I would think. I feel like Japan has been looking for their guy to be that world-beater on a world stage for a really long time.
Starting point is 00:07:06 And I think you saw it with, you know, Ishikawa almost kind of getting crushed under the weight of that. It seemed like. And Hadecki, I mean, I feel like it has to even just go up to another notch when you almost kind of move on from Ishikawa into like, no, no, no, this is a guy. He's going to be our guy. And to finally break through on a major just has to, I don't know, I don't want to say legitimize, but like a lot of the, a lot of that has to feel
Starting point is 00:07:30 really validated, right? With all the media stalking those guys so hard every week. And I mean, this is, it's a massive, massive deal. It's, it's, I don't know, I hope somebody does a good job of, you know, I feel like there's always a good, I know Augusta Chronicle did this for a long time where they would go visit the champions in their hometowns, kind of like leading up to the next year and a profile on like Hideki following Hideki around in Japan would be really freaking cool. And if someone has one, please send it our way. I'd love to read it.
Starting point is 00:07:57 I'd love to, I hate not knowing anything about Hideki, which is probably on me a little bit, but like I hate not knowing what golf means to him. I didn't, you know, they found, Nancy had mentioned his on me a little bit, but like I hate not knowing what golf means to him. I didn't, they found, Nance had mentioned his wife and daughter or child, but I had not made, and we talked about it on the live show, I think last night, but it is weird to just watch someone that you almost, I don't wanna say I don't have any emotional energy invested in,
Starting point is 00:08:20 but like I haven't had an avenue in to invest emotional energy into him. And I, and now he's a not, he's a major champion. Well, Tron said something good on Twitter that kind of summed up how I was feeling too, is like it almost felt like he plateaued a couple years ago. Oh, right. Yeah. A post-hype sleeper.
Starting point is 00:08:33 I'm not feeling like. Yeah, and he's still, he was still playing as well to green. It seemed like the putting was going to, was going to swallow him up and really, you know, just mess with him psychologically and be a heavy weight that you're gonna crumble under. And the fact that he not only seemingly overcame it, but that was partly his strength this weekend was remarkable. Yeah. Well, I was poetic. The put on 18 was poetic. I think just that was no much to, you know, to the old Hedeke.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Hedeke, you bring something up that's interesting though. I think, you know, from, this is anecdotal, but it feels like modesty is a high value in Japanese culture, right? Like to just be very modest, very, very low-key. Don't talk about yourself, but then, like you said, the amount of pressure and media attention that then all of his, you know, country puts on him, but he's not allowed to react or be pat, he's not allowed as wrong or but, but not supposed to be passionate or you know, thumb is chest or whatever. It's an interesting
Starting point is 00:09:38 combination. I think that's that that just has to weigh on you, you know, over time, which I think is why Ishikawa turned into such a, kind of this borderline controversial rock star was like he was so flashy and so outward with like, his fashion and I feel like he was, he let media in a ton and Hadecki almost just seems like the total opposite. Everything I've always heard, it's probably a fairly lazy comparison,
Starting point is 00:10:02 but I've heard a lot of this like, even from second hand, from Japanese media, people would always look at Ishikawa like Phil and Hideki like Tiger, just in the way that they view their privacy and the way one is very gregarious and willing to let people in, and one is totally just closed off and,
Starting point is 00:10:19 hey, I'm here to do my business. And I don't know, interesting to see which one of those two broke through. It sounds like practice habits too. I mean, it sounds like he's like, he's got some epic BJ Singh style, practice sessions both at home and on the road. I'd like to attribute this to whoever sent this in earlier,
Starting point is 00:10:38 but also, you know, I'm, I'm no one's been harder on his putting than I have because I'm like amazed at somebody that can be that good and consistent hitting the ball year over year over year and not improve his putting that I have because I'm like amazed at somebody that can be that could inconsistent hitting the ball year over year over year and not improve his putting. But the stat that was sent in was no one has a greater differential from their average strokes game putting. You know, like on bent grass, his differential is the largest variance of anyone on any surface.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Like he's 0.42 strokes better strokes game putting on bent grass than his normal strokes game putting meaning like he must be horrible and pass pal and poa and vermuta and like on on Brent he's totally fun which I found very very interesting I'm trying to think his other major finishes Aaron Hills he finished second which is probably bent I would guess in Wisconsin isn't what what is TBC Scottsdale he wins out there like that's probably overseas overseas to ride. Yeah. And then Quail Hollowey, I mean, he was leading after 36 holes at the PGA.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if he was. That's just interesting that, you know, I mean his putting stats at our very, very bad. And he's we're talking about a guy that was number two in the world at one point. He's talking about a guy and he's now like he's kind of forgotten. He's been the forgotten man for a couple of years now. He was the forgotten man on Thursday with us.
Starting point is 00:11:46 That's the thing. This feels like it was supposed to happen four or five years ago. It feels like it was supposed to happen in 2016, 2017. He was, I mean, shitty one. How many times you won waste management in 2016 and then you won HSBC Champions in 2016. Anyone twice in 2017 as well and anyone in Japan back to back waste management in playoffs I didn't that I kind of for did blacked out didn't know that I was runner up to Brooks to end up on that That's crazy speaking of back to back. I mean how about like I'm about Japan
Starting point is 00:12:19 Yeah, like huge sweeping the Augusta not two weeks in Augusta got I was so roses roses wilting in both tournaments that we didn't get the Japanese broadcast at the end there I know for the final call I think they get such a bummer I think they got put on notice that like oh my god we could give her place yeah yeah what do you think of that yeah I know I know you probably that made you wake up from your nap maybe oh sorry I was I was trying to ice-signal to DJ that I got his roses wilting joke. So can you repeat the question to me? Everybody else got it to the next laugh. I was going to say that when they piped in the Japanese broadcast in a couple spots on the second nine, I really, that kind of woke
Starting point is 00:12:59 me up. I was like, got some energy. You can tell these guys are locked in, they're hanging on everything. And then we Icaritoed on 15. That was an excellent call there by the Japanese duo. Yeah, I mean, I can jima. For sure, I really liked your tweet, Neil, when he said, they just switched the television feed there at the turn. It would have been a much more entertaining broadcast down the stretch with the Japanese signal.
Starting point is 00:13:23 They would have been a hell of a lot less breathing. That's well said. Kudos to CBS on that. That was a cool flexibility. And like when you're trying to really, you know, humanize this guy that people don't really know much about, I mean, that, what a, that was an awesome idea. I was really glad they did that. Just reading, just flipping through to it, I saw Jane Park's tweet.
Starting point is 00:13:40 She said, the respect that Japanese people have for not only people, but places and things is so endearing and wonderful to witness. And she says that with a quote, we tweet on the on Hadecki's caddy bowing to the golf course as he as he put the pin in on and the one on 70 the 72nd hole. I think that's so cool. I think I wish that that's something Japan's that one of the few of one of the places that I've never been that like is sticking out to me is like top on my list of like, dude, how I not been there? Come on. and that really that kind of thing makes me want to go even more. And like going back to the golf stuff too, I mean Shibuna winning a couple of years ago on the LPGA smiling assassin. Yeah, like they're on a freaking run right now. Yeah, and now they get the Olympics. I mean what better what better timing to take it into Tokyo this summer.
Starting point is 00:14:23 That's what I was going to say to you. I know the Olympics can get a little eye-roly sometimes, but that's an awesome storyline heading in. I mean, that's like, that's really cool. That makes this, that makes, that gives a lot of juice to the Olympics. That's probably much needed, at least, you know, obviously in Japan, for sure, but I would say much needed more here in America.
Starting point is 00:14:40 I think that's a really fun one to follow. Well, another fun day to follow will be Olympic blood testing starts next month. So I imagine we'll see really fun one to follow. Well, another fun day to follow will be Olympic blood testing starts next month. So I imagine we'll see a few of these interesting. So I started to clear whether they're in or out. TC, that's usable intel right there. Can I propose something? Can I get to something before you do that?

That's hard to do live because sometimes listen, sometimes in the edits we got to we ship that around. But don't I know today I get it. All right, and I don't want to hear about draft Kings right?
Starting point is 00:16:37 I'm back in the pouch tomorrow. I do want to talk about draft Kings a little bit. Well, get to that, but you had something to propose it. I would like to say Matt, you I'm a won this tournament, but I think there was a bit of a little bit. Well, get to that, but you had something to propose it. I would like to say, Matt Siyama won this tournament, but I think there was a bit of a crowning. Before we get to Zander, let's break down. Matt Siyama's play a little bit.
Starting point is 00:16:53 We've talked a little bit about what it means from a higher level perspective, but came out and bogey number one, kind of thought you're gonna let Matt back into it. Not a good tee shot. Not a good start. I was talking to try how fast were things moving Just on his downswi got number one. That had to feel I'm not ready. I'm not ready. I'm not ready. I'm not ready. Back off back off
Starting point is 00:17:16 He actually kind of kind of lucky that it ended up where it did It looked like a cut of got all the bushes over there somebody pointed out This is the first time we you know in three years that there's been the long wait for the final pairing to go off on Sunday at Augusta. Yeah, true. Morning. Morning in 2019 and morning in 2020 and November. Burdy's number two played just extremely solid
Starting point is 00:17:38 major championship winning golf in the front nine. Up in the par on five. Par on five was unbelievable. Burdy on eight, Burdy on nine. Up and the the par on five. Par on five was unbelievable. Birdie on eight, birdie on nine. It felt over. Crazy how few people hit it in that bunker on five. It feels like, right? I mean, I know it's death and you're trying to avoid it as much as you can, but with a whole that's so long where everybody's trying
Starting point is 00:17:57 to just, you know, get it out there as far as they can. It's that felt like a death sentence. Great candidate. Yeah, that was. Yeah, I think I mean, Leeson Rose, like watching them lay up in front of those bunkers. I think that's the play, because otherwise so many guys are just blasting it
Starting point is 00:18:11 way down the right. I was impressed with the deck. He's T-shot into six up on the ridge up there. Shot into seven. I mean, he missed like a four footer and a seven, five footer. And so yeah, that was the only put that he really struggled with. I felt like all day. No, I would say struggle with the three put it 16. And that was the first. That was on the t shot though.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Yeah, and seven was glass. I mean, I was, I think that was probably top one or two fastest greens on the golf course today. Um, so yeah, it goes into 12 with a six shot lead, made honestly a really smart bogey because it felt like all he had to do was just not make double there. Just, you know, hitting that back bunker, chip out to the fringe, two putt, make bogey, you're fine. The birdie on 13 was insane. Couple lucky breaks in that one. Listen, hitting the tree very solidly, coming back out in the rough, you know, delofting a five iron and almost going into the asalias, that all bounced backwards towards the green, going along on I miss
Starting point is 00:19:08 all. And then an insane chip to get that one close to make birdie there. And then 15, 15 was where the things got a little bit interesting. 235 in, were you guys thinking layup at all? Randy, were you thinking layup? No, I think, you know, he, he, worst case scenario is what happened, which is still, you know, you should make a six there. I feel like lay up brings in a whole host of problems if you overspin a wedge or, you know, chunk your wedge a little bit, then you can bring in the seven rate.
Starting point is 00:19:38 I wasn't thinking lay up, but I was also thinking, put it in that right bunker. Yeah. Like that's the, like, I mean, it seemed like you kind of was going for the dagger there. And it was like, hey, like what's, you know, why? Like why go right at that pin? Maybe just overcooked a little bit,
Starting point is 00:19:54 did the same thing on 13 there. But I mean, I, I think I understood going at 15 more than going at 13. And I think going for two, it's like, I might as well hit the hard shot now. And if I hit it in the water, I'm, you know, I'm one stroke ahead still. Like I can still get up and down for par.
Starting point is 00:20:11 But long in that water is real bad. That is not a heart. That's not an easy shot. That ball was moving in there too. Yeah, there was people on Twitter asking if he had hit the Icarito Nukiboy six. I believe. I believe. Yes, I'm getting worried that was, Icarita Nuki Nuki boy six. I believe agree. Uh Yes, I'm getting worried that was that was certainly was a Nuki boy
Starting point is 00:20:29 That might have been a chloroform. I feel like the large quick the large six might have even been too much. Yeah He was juiced up man He was he was trying to put a dagger in right there T.C I don't know I think if you lay that up and then play a wedge to the right side of that green and two put like I think you could have Not guaranteed that but that was going to be safe. It felt like an unnecessary risk, but at the end of the day, I appreciated the hell out of it after like rose laid up yesterday from on 13.
Starting point is 00:20:54 If it's a two-shot lead, send it. Like, I'm with you there, but that big of a lead, like the only thing that could happen that could go wrong was hit in the ball in the water. I almost think the opposite. I think he, I don't know. I mean, I know it's just all judgment, but I think he made the right play. I'm with Neil, where I have this shot, worst case, it goes way long into the water. And then, like I said, it's a difficult chip, but you're still looking at six worst case seven, where we've seen guys, guys Justin Thomas on 13 like that's
Starting point is 00:21:26 no gimme wedge shot on on 15. I wouldn't say worst cases six or seven. No, because you could do there's dudes that chipped into that pond from long of that green this week. And I know it was in his firm as it was the first couple days, but I get speed share chipped into the pond. He had a very smart shot there. Yeah, to where that pin was, you know, you're not being as aggressive on that on that chip. Yeah, where he left that first chip though was actually the more I think about it. Like what a savvy play. Really good. Right. It just that was so comfy. Like, okay, now we're just gonna put it from the fringe and we're fine. We are so fine. And then yeah, the bogey on 16, I mean, he missed the
Starting point is 00:22:02 ball, missed the funnel. Rainy, how after today, how do you not love the pen on 16? I just think it's stupid. I like, how's it stupid? Is it too easy? It's, it's just not very fun for me. I don't understand what the big attraction is. It's, you, you're still, I mean, it's, you saw it today. You saw it exactly, you can make birdie if you stuff one and get the bull right but if you miss it
Starting point is 00:22:26 You make bogey or double or triple if you're zander So much that can happen there Randy. I would offer you compromise I'd ride harder that the Thursday pin is dumber than the Sunday pin Thursday pins up front Thursday pins is funnily up front Whereas at least Sunday is like you're up by the bunker and it's closer to the water and so many hardputs to that. So it's a lot. Yeah, you there's a lot more three puts. It feels like one that I agree Thursday sucks, but I think Sunday was actually pretty fun.
Starting point is 00:22:54 The one that had had where he's back to the hole. That was sweet. Yeah. The putt I was referring to on 16 was the come, you know, the fun footer back the other way. It was a little probably a little longer than that. But like that's, that's not an easy putt either. But I mean, I don't know, I love 16.
Starting point is 00:23:10 I, the Sunday pen on 16 is a birdie or bogey pen. Like there's not, you know, there's a decent amount of powers, but like things can happen there. I don't know. It's more fun than like thinking and being I'd say, damn right. It is. Talking 17 sucks. I like the pen on sticking it in.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Have you ever noticed that every, every master's Sunday, leaders come off 16 and what do they do? They go to commercial on 17. 17 is just a giant, it's like a, it's like a piss break for the, for the broadcast. Like it's, the whole, it's not, there's nothing happens there.
Starting point is 00:23:39 It sucks. I mean, the green, you're right. They finally showed a camera angle from on the right side of the green before Zander putted. Did I finally got a sense of how sloped it was? And then they moved away from that camera. I was trying to say, I wish they would have stuck with that camera. Yeah, and it's like, it's a combination of like,
Starting point is 00:23:55 maybe the whole isn't as bad as I'm saying it is, but I don't get anything from watching it on TV. That's my problem with it. That's fair. That's the most important thing. And the eyes and how it's really gone, you know, Ike's gone, it on TV. That's my problem with it. That's fair. That's the most important thing. And the eyes and how it's really gone. Ike's gone. It's unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:24:08 There's no identity to it. It's just boring for me. Speak made, speak made birdie on 17. And I thought you had to hit two really excellent shots to do it. Yeah, that's great. But I don't have a sense of how excellent those shots are.
Starting point is 00:24:19 It's my friend. Sure. I don't have it. You know what? I'm not understanding how difficult it is. Whereas when I see someone make birdie on 10 or on 11, I feel a lot more like wow. What you know, what a golf hole they just played. 11 stings. Number 11's in my doghouse. I was just going to say that. That whole so boring. They've ruined it. The fact that they're five too. I know five sick.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Five is just I think the only proper part five on the golf course But I think that eleven there was a lot of people talking about this on Twitter I know I'm certainly not the only one but the the what really shined on eleven this week was that runway Right of the fairway that showed so obviously where Where the whole used to extend to yeah, where where how the green was designed to be played where you're supposed to play it up That right that right side to get the proper angle. I was resaw, I think Adam Scott had a shot over there. I think Leech had a shot over there. A deck he did Saturday.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Yeah, and when you see it come in over there, you're like, whoa, what a, this is actually a great angle over here. It's like, yeah, well, I think that's kind of how it's supposed to be supposed to be played. There's no doubt in my mind that the Ridler fixes that. Well, don't you get, at least though on 11 when they show that approach, like it makes me nervous. It's like, it looks like a heart shot on TV. Well, don't you get at least though on 11 when they show that approach.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Like it makes me nervous. It's like it looks like a heart shot on TV. Oh, super right. That's why it's like not like good hard. I agree with you on that. Like it's not they the whole could be better. But the point I'm trying to make about 17 is that I just don't like get any sense of how hard it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Right. Well, on 11, it's so hard that everybody plays away from it so much that it's actually like takes the excitement out. Yeah, there's no variance at all. Well, that's what I mean. Nobody hits it in the water anymore. You know, like the, yeah, they need to penalize, I don't know if it's bunkering or, you know, shortening the whole changing the angles, but that that that pond might as well not be there anymore. How about rositing that back bunker DJ? And I'm like, man, I didn't even know bunker was there.
Starting point is 00:26:08 I don't think I've ever seen anybody hit it in that. I'm like, yeah, of course, I've seen that bunker, but I've never seen anyone in it. That was the first time I've ever seen anyone hit out of that back right bunker on 11 contrary to all of this. I feel like number three shined really brightly today. So it turns like 17 into something like that. You know, give me some excitement down the stretch, at least be able to collect 17. We're moving up. This is a fat wall on Stinking and Dean. We get it. All right. The millennial one.
Starting point is 00:26:36 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm done. Can we get to Zander now? Is it time? Yeah, skip over. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Let's skip over. Three is cool. Go ahead. And I have one more Hadecki question. DJ, do you want to talk about number three first? No, I just think it's really interesting. Like, you know, there's a lot of different ways to play it, right? And we were talking about what, what made the most sense? You saw guys taking, especially in those last, what, five, six, seven groups.
Starting point is 00:27:01 You saw guys taking all kinds of different routes. Salatoris banging it up there, what, 20 yards, 30 yards, short of the green and making a five, leash, laying back and making a five. I mean, they're like, Zander seemingly doing it, exactly how you're supposed to. And then not executing the second shot and watching it kind of roll back to his feet. It was just a, that was a horrible second shot though. But I think that shows like, you know, just what kind of a knife said it is. It was 300 really cool.
Starting point is 00:27:25 350 yards that whole played to a 4.24 score. Hell yeah. And it wasn't like, it wasn't like they lost the green or the pymus absurd. It's just in a really challenging spot. And it's all about contouring there. Like there's nothing. I mean, that angles.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Yeah, that thing, that's not coming from like bunker, you know, a bunker that's, you know, everyone was driving in or anything like that. It's just angle elevation change and mounting and slope. That's all it is. Yeah. Seeing as a layback to 125 yards, yeah, 350 yard hole with no bunkers up by the green. Like that's, that speaks volumes, right? One more thing on the, on the Japanese golfers, guys, I'm telling you, prepare yourselves to Kumi Kenaya. He's coming. He's coming. Okay. He's coming. He was like world amateur number one for almost a year or over a year. Where is he right now? He's he's coming. He's he's en route. Yeah. Like he's on his way. What you know, is he? He's
Starting point is 00:28:17 not what towards the on top. No, it's in the top 100 in the world. Okay. He's with a lot of those boats that are kind of stuck off the off the harbor right now. There's a lot of a lot of trans-specific. We need some tracking in the edition. Yeah, exactly. Rainier soon though. What was your question, Randy? A couple people on Twitter were asking, does Bob Turner get invited to the champion's dinner next year? Does he get let inside? And if so, does he get a plate of food? No, it'll be like the wedding band.
Starting point is 00:28:46 They'll, they'll, you know, you can have it, but just not in the room. Not in the room. Yeah, but they'll pay for the dinner, but it has to be outside. It's always awkward when you look over the wedding band has their own table. Yeah, you know, they pretend like they're one of the guests. Because that's golf sacred, that's maybe golf's most sacred space. Like, and then there's just champions only. And like, what if a deck he can't talk to anybody? God, that's what I want to talk to anybody. God, that's sacred space. Like, through champions only. And like, what if Adecki can't talk to anybody?
Starting point is 00:29:06 God, that's true. What if he doesn't want to talk to anybody? God, that's maybe right. I might be, he doesn't want the interpreter to come because he doesn't, he's like, no, I'd rather just not. Just, I'd rather just eat my food in peace and hope you guys enjoy my menu. What, thank you.
Starting point is 00:29:20 What if he can't put even, he wouldn't be able to say that. Nobody would be able to, you know, well, he can practice. I mean, he won't even be able to say that. Nobody will be able to know, you know. Well, he could practice. I mean, he's got to hear. He's true. What's your guys closest route in as interpreter right now? Like what language could you like? Oh God.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Pig Latin. I don't know, man. I got no. I could body up with Yoast Loudon, even though he speaks perfect English. And be like, yeah, all right. Yeah, I'm going to be your interpreter in here. I always speak like zero Dutch.
Starting point is 00:29:43 I feel like Yoast Loudon's just passed his prime at this point. I got, you know, you got to maybe Anvand Am. You got to, you know, see if you can get into it. I think you'd have a better chance of a women's master's developing in Anvand Am winning. And you getting in that way. No, I'm, I'm trying to go to the chairman's dinner on the, what is it, the Wednesday night or the Tuesday night of, of the A and W a.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Oh, sure. It's Ridley and then, you know, 75 amateur golfers. It's like the weirdest picture I see every year. I thought it was just to be Ridley and Jennifer Cupcho and what's her name who won this year? Sorry. Because that was the only championship. Yeah, because we're like two of them.
Starting point is 00:30:24 I'm just tiny. Codgettiny, I'm sorry. Only that was the only champion. Yeah, the only champion. Yeah, because we're like two of them. Couch, Tony. Couch, Tony, I'm sorry. Only other thing, I'm that note. Only other thing to bring up for Hideki that I had was, it is cool to see these initiatives by Augusta kind of like coming full circle a little bit with the Asia Pacific Am that they started in 2009. Hideki was a two time winner of that.
Starting point is 00:30:44 I mean, that's pretty wild to see him, you know, go to an event that Augusta started on the other side of the world, win it, come do Augusta Biloam, turn into an awesome career and cap it off by being a master's champion is like, you know, again, we talked a lot about the the women's game last week and what they're doing with the Anwa. I mean, it's's a pretty you can draw a pretty natural line there from from on what champions to, you know, women's major champions as well. I'm just out of ladies master champion yet, but, you know, I just think that's that's pretty cool and Augusta, you know, hasn't always made the
Starting point is 00:31:18 right decision throughout the history of the world, which is well documented, but they've done also some pretty cool stuff that now is kind of starting to come full circle. I just wanted to shout out to Daniel Young in the comments who said, uh, do it interpret for Bubba. It would be your best chance to get into the championship instead. I'd also like to draw the line there where the day that we see a drive chip and put champion mm-hmm, win the age of Pacific or the Latin America am and then go on to win the masters, that's when I'm out.
Starting point is 00:31:44 I was going to say it's probably probably gonna be sooner than you think. You got these 22 to 23 year old kids in the drive chips. The game is too big. I would say it's growing at a ferocious pace. The real dream would be to have a 15, 16 year old win the drive putt chip and then the next week win the Masters. So all you two, we did this. We bring it up every year. Not enough is made out of guantan long,
Starting point is 00:32:08 making the cut as a fucking 14 year old. While there was a 14, 15 year old division of the drive chip and put on and in that division this year, there was a 17 year old plan. Of course, due to some circumstances outside of his control. But come on, man, he's 17. That's how we are the parents. Yeah, maybe he should have relinquished his control. But come on man, he's 17, that's a very hard the parents.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Yeah, maybe he should have relinked which is spot. You know what? Thank you. Thank you. But T.C. I know that's your block. So I don't want to. I was worried. There was a shadow of a doubt in my head today.
Starting point is 00:32:35 I was a little bit worried when they put him on. They said, hey, you guys are out of position. Oh my gosh. Oh, shit. Are we going to do this? All right. I've got to part of that history of theirs is only penalizing the Asian players.
Starting point is 00:32:47 So, you know, who knows what they had up their sleeve, but... And to their like two, nobody's credit just to be fair. Hadecki is not fast. No. Well, you know. It is interesting, DJ, to your point on kind of these pasts that they've carved out to getting to the masters in that. There's a, I forget what year the broadcast is.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Maybe it's 86 or one of the old ones I've watched before. One of the announcers is like, and Gary Player comes into the booth, shocking. He won some airtime. Comes into the booth to do some analysis after playing. And one of the announcers asked him, like, Gary, what do you think of all these foreigners up here on the front of the leaderboard? And Gary's like, I mean, I'm one of them. And you know, too, I think golf is an international game.
Starting point is 00:33:29 And it was just very much like, it's not always been the case at Augusta, like the embrace of, you know, foreigners playing this, you know, game that was also not in Ben and in America. Which I have to think if you're, you know, being somewhat cynical, I also think that Augusta probably realizes that, you know that the Asian golf market is the biggest growth opportunity in the world, and I think that's probably much more why they started this tournament and trying to get more Asian players into the masters. So for anybody who, you know, you're so negative, Dej.
Starting point is 00:33:57 No, I'm just saying. For anybody who was kind of floating like, oh my God, what a nightmare scenario for Augusta, having a non-English speaker win you know, win the green jackets. Like, I think this is probably actually a V good, a V good outcome for them. Going back to the champion's dinner, I think, I think Kat might be disappointed because he's had a bunch of like American style sushi. Like, I think Kat thinks a California roll is really, really good.
Starting point is 00:34:26 They're going to show up with... He's got a searchin and all sorts of crazy, crazy shit that Cat's never had on an Omikaze menu. He's going, wait, this isn't sushi. This isn't my spicy tuna roll. Come on. Cat's a heavy soy sauce dunker. Big on the wasabi. He's got a lot of ginger and wasabi.
Starting point is 00:34:46 He's watering down the flavors. I want to talk Xander. And first up, I want to start this by saying, I couldn't help but notice on 16. It looked like he did not have his yardage styled. He did not. Do you see where I'm going with this? I do.
Starting point is 00:35:00 You know what, going back to you yesterday? And on 15, it looked like does Tron see where I've got it. I didn't have his yard is dialed on correct. We had we had back to back holes. I know what that's like. Solly on 17 on Saturday he didn't have his yard is job because he you did in a carito. So, hmm, hate seeing that. We here at NoLing up have our yard just dialed. Thank you. Thanks to rapsoto rapsoto.com slash NLU, $75 off your own mobile launch monitor when you use code NLU, offer ends April 13th.

Starting point is 00:36:47 And now we will bring you the final hour of the show commercial free. Yeah. All right, so you, I wanna book to dig into the Xander round. I want you guys to answer the question I had earlier. Was Hadecki crowned today? No. Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:03 I'm gonna say no. I came over the four-shot lead and he shot one over. That was exactly coming in. I know, but God, when he shows up and miss it, Bogie's 18 and finishes it, what, 10 under? Like, if he needed to par 18, I think he would have. I think it's exactly what we were saying yesterday is Augusta lures you into thinking more people are in contention than they actually are, right? And it's, I don't know, a couple stats that I really like,
Starting point is 00:37:26 this is now, I think 24 champions in a row that have been within four shots of the lead going into the final round. So if you go by that, I mean, it's like, there were really only the four guys that were gone by that today, so I didn't have to listen to you pump up, stinky Jordan all day. No, I fall for it every year as well.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Every single year, I've just, oh my gosh, there he is, man, he's to seven. If he just does this and this, you know it, but I don't know, I'm with you, Sally, that I think if, you know, it probably looked a lot closer than it ever was, right? It was close on 16 T. Yes. Yeah, Neil, I'll say this,. macro, it was not a crowning.
Starting point is 00:38:06 There was a micro crown. He played well enough to win the tournament. So I'm not trying to take anything away from Hadecki, but I just, 17 and 18, I just, it's just so frustrated. It's like, man, we have a golf tournament here, man. If you just take seven iron instead of eight, like that's so, you can't let that happen, Zander. I just can't do that. I'm afraid you listen to the podcast where bones,
Starting point is 00:38:28 you know, said, you know, whatever it is, Sunday at Augusta, the ball goes further on 16. That was interesting, Nuggety said in the post-run interview, he said, talking to some veterans and everything, they said, you know, play the win you feel, we were playing, we felt down and off the left. I flushed it and it didn't go. And there's just a question about whether or not he actually flushed it.
Starting point is 00:38:47 But that's that's my question is like, and then Doddy said wall of wind. Yeah, I was like, what? I don't, I mean, I don't think there was a wall of wind. There maybe there was a little ghost out there. Maybe she's feeling. You know, something. I think it's my scene. I didn't feel anything.
Starting point is 00:39:02 I don't feel any. I know. I'm not going to. I'm not going to think. I'm going to say that Doddy didn't feel anything. I didn't feel anything. I'm not going to, I'm not going to tell. I'm not going to say that Dottie didn't feel any win. That's fine. It was, it was a good 10, 11 yard short of where it needed to be. Yeah, it wasn't close.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Right. Yeah. I mean, I think talking about Xander, you got to go back to like three, four, five was where you really lost the plot. And then, I mean, Shady birdied seven eight twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen like he he tried his hardest to get back in it and did a great job six birdies and nine holes but man the the the bogey on three was bad the one on four four is really tough and then the one on five was just just sloppy shit that was five was a a bad hole. I'm a little gutted because I feel like I've,
Starting point is 00:39:47 I like Xander. I find myself rooting for him. You know, it's almost like a fool me once, shame on you. You know, fool me twice, you're not gonna fool me again. It's like, I, I, I was like, dude, you're just letting me down. It's like he's not, I know he's not closing it, but then his interview afterwards, I just like his awareness.
Starting point is 00:40:04 I thought he gave a really classy interview, he explained exactly what he was thinking. I thought that was a good window into like, you know, that sucks, man. Like I feel bad for him. Like I want him to break through. That's just how I feel as a fan. So, and I'm curious, does he bring that out in you guys at all?
Starting point is 00:40:21 I think we're talking about it downstairs a little bit. And from a very casual golf fans perspective, that out in you guys at all. I think we're talking about it downstairs a little bit. From a very casual golf fans perspective, I almost feel like Xander kind of needed this day to become more popular if that makes sense because I feel like there's a lot of people that probably don't feel a whole hell of a lot towards him. I think people recognize his name because it's a unique name and And beyond that, I don't know what the casual golf fan can really like tell you about Zander. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:40:48 He hasn't had any crazy memorable moments. He hasn't had any like, you know, I know he's been close a lot and to super hardcore golf fans, he probably has a lot of heartbreak, but like casual golf fans are gonna really, really remember this moment. And I think probably almost like root for more now. You know what I mean? I think he struggled to have much of it in identity
Starting point is 00:41:07 before. And I think I'm with you, Neil. Like I root for him. And I like watching him. And I wish, you know, I wish we had more from him. But, you know, I almost in a weird way I feel like this is going to be good for kind of the macro story of Xander. I think Xander, that's, I like that. That's good take. Listen, winning would have also been good. Yeah, that would have helped too. But, you know, I think what you just said goes,
Starting point is 00:41:33 goes to show you too, like he, he's maybe collected some scar tissue in our eyes. Yeah, because of coming up short and PGA tour events, but it goes to show you how little those events matter in the consciousness of the average fan. He get, The harder the golf gets, the better's Andrew gets. Yeah. And so I think that's the frustrating part, you know, probably for us, it's like, hey, we see this progression and we see this. But at the end of the day in, we've seen them win, what, you know, four or five times. This is going to be obvious. Yeah, this is going to be obvious the answer here, but who's, who's major resume would you like?
Starting point is 00:42:08 15 majors played two runner-ups, two thirds, and six top-fives, okay, in 15 majors, or 18 majors played one third place finished four top-fives. Obviously, no wins, no seconds. Who do you think the other guy is? Brooks. John Rom. Brooks is one more. Four. No, I thought in a top five. I thought in a top five. I'm sorry. Hand up. Really?
Starting point is 00:42:37 Hand up. I thought you were going to trick question. You always do that. But it's like it's like going back though, like just with, it's all right. I missed it. What was the other player? John Ra. Okay. What's like the, the, uh, the, uh, torch championship, you know, people can point to the torch championship and say, yeah, he's one, he, he's won this big event. He won cap Alua, um, WGC, not get off, Randy, but it's not get off. It's like, yo, this is where
Starting point is 00:43:03 I'm so happy we have live comments coming. I wish we could edit that part out. You guys are right, Boot. Why? Why mail bottle? Yeah, unbelievable. God. But it's like, yo, check it out.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Nobody gives a shit about those events. Yeah. Like, it's a mechanism for distributing a bunch of money. He's a rich man's fee now. Yeah. I think it's too early to call that. That's unfair, right? That's unfair. You rich man's. No, no. There's it's too early to call him that. That's unfair, right? That's unfair.
Starting point is 00:43:26 You're right. No, there's a lot of people come to the chat about Ricky. He's the new fowler. Which people, yeah. Three or four years younger than Ricky, though, right? Yeah, and I think that he hasn't been overexposed in the same way. Is he approaching that potentially?
Starting point is 00:43:39 I see a little bit of, you know, maybe not with the putting scar tissue, but I see a little bit of Matsu Yamma's career trajectory with Sandor, where, you know, won a lot like one, a lot when he kind of came onto the scene and then stalled out for and granted, Sandor hasn't stalled out, but hasn't won in, you know, a couple of years now. Yeah. I mean, Ricky's got 43 major championship appearances in eight top fives. Sandor's got 15 major appearances in six top fives. So I mean, I know strong. I know this.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Yeah, really good major record. I know you can say the same thing about Fino too, but there's something to be said also for. And I know we've mentioned this on the show before too, but when you go talk to players and caddies and anybody in the game like Zander is the guy that everybody talks about, right? I mean, like he's all the right shit. Yeah, like, everybody is the guy that everybody talks about, right? I mean, like he does all the right shit. Yeah, like,
Starting point is 00:44:25 just ass off. Everybody is so impressed by him. And like, that's got to, it's got to click it some port. I hope it does. I'm rooting for him. And if you go watch, man, if you go watch a shot on, on 16 again, it bounces in a little different way. And it's, it's very close.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Well, I'll also say, I want to give him some credit to imagine, like he, you could tell he was gutted when he hit it in the water to give him some credit to imagine like he you could tell he was gutted when he hit it in the water on 16, but he kept it like he had the ability like he's not freaking out like Billy Ho. You know what I'm saying? Or like Ram, like there's no like fake club break. He just bites down just kind of grits his teeth and just I got a ton of respect for that because I can't do that. You know what I'm saying? Like I super super well adjusted. Yeah, just like, just, you got to swallow this one man and just keep grinding and then he came back
Starting point is 00:45:09 and he had two solid holes and he wasn't enough. He had a great put on 17. It's just like, damn it man, one shot. So, which is almost what I'm getting at, right? Where it's like, I think he, when he does break through now, like I think this just makes it even better. Yeah, I like that. I think you're right,
Starting point is 00:45:25 teach. I just think at the end of the days, he's top, he's going to be top five in the world after this. Like we expect to hell of a lot of them, right? And there's not, there's not a major is to go around. But if in, I think by the time he turns 30, if he doesn't want to major by time, he turns 30. All right, then we're ready to, you know, like, and I'm saying the same thing about Tommy Fleetwood. I'm kind of, that's the attack.
Starting point is 00:45:46 I'm telling Tommy. Tommy might be older. To your point though, Tron, like, it shouldn't really be glossed over this. The swing on 16 was, was one swing. The golf through, you know, Tommy's 30, so I might be dead. Three, Tommy's out. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:46:00 The golf through three, four and five needs to be acknowledged as stinky. And just like that was where, that was where it got away. And like needlessly careless, right? Where and then because I think that's the freshman part too, as you see the highs, like going back even to the drive on 13, for instance, was unbelievable. I mean, he laid that was it probably the most one of the most impressive shots of the day. And then the approach into 13 was really good too. And he missed the eagle putt there,
Starting point is 00:46:27 which that wasn't a great effort, but four birdies in a row. It's like, God, man, we're vibing. And the deck he's feeling the pressure and he just let like that's what he would like. Randy said it was a microcrowning or like, like all the pressure watching him at the Torch Championship. When he was coming down the stretch hitting big shot after big shot. Like I know we should have the Torch Championship, but he's shown a propensity. He may be on a bad run of it right now, but he's shown a propensity in the past for being able to hit the big shot in a big moment. My issue with him is it's never clean, right? It's never like just 14 holes of dominance. Like it's a lot of up and down within it overall really,
Starting point is 00:47:04 really good. Obviously, but like he never has that, oh man, it's a lot of up and down within an overall really, really good, obviously, but like, he never has that, oh man, he's totally got it under control right now and is not gonna make a mistake. Which honestly, I know everybody will, I feel like people are gonna feel like Hadecki play a lot worse today than he did, right? Like, I almost felt like that about Hadecki
Starting point is 00:47:19 for the vast, vast majority of today's round. I mean, obviously, this wing on 15 was was not good But beyond that it was like I mean where else did he make big mistakes? Randy I mean as a big female guy. Are you getting are you getting phenol vibes out of out of zander? No, I think the Ricky one feels a little bit more accurate But he you know part of the Ricky blowback was just how exposed he was and Part of the Ricky blowback was just how exposed he was and you know his profile. His results not matching his profile. I don't get that from Xander.
Starting point is 00:47:52 He's a guy. I don't have anything against. I want to root for him, but I'm kind of like, I don't know what there is to root for. And I think that's DJ. I found myself being the exact person that you were describing about how like, I don't know if this is going to make me root for Xander more or less, but it's nice to just see him. At least there's something.
Starting point is 00:48:12 In a spot here. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Where, you know, he doesn't make me feel much coming into this week. So it's just a little weird from, you know, I think he's ranked what, like six in the world right now. It just seems something's off there. He hasn't won like a, what? Over two years. Yeah, so January, yeah, January 2019.
Starting point is 00:48:37 You guys ready to talk about Taurus? Very. Yes. What a fucking week, man. How about a Billy Z. That was awesome. Billy Zane. On your friend, Billy Zane. He's a cool guy. Unreal ball striking. I don't I hate not having strokes game stats. I got a couple
Starting point is 00:48:52 for a deck. You that's about it. But just an just the absolute clinic of a ball striking week. He took picked apart the parrhoves. A rookie does not go through and weave through all the landmines of Augusta National like that. The ones that do are named Jordan's teeth and I think it was Coltnost compared his good buddy. His, yeah, his first round, you know, his first Augusta, his first masters to Speets and like they both got second in their first masters. Like Fuzzy's LR1, that was the last guy to win in his opening masters, but I don't know. When you, we've only got like 40 years of history there, it's not as, it's different now that there's like 80 years of history of doing this and that dudes do not come out and just
Starting point is 00:49:30 like play a gust of like that. It was jarring. It was so awesome. No doubles, but that was impressive. No doubles in your rookie. Dejan and I were talking, for how good he strikes a ball. And I love watching his swing with how high he gets the club. It's just he's got like a he's a complete ball striking. So Vaughn, but his putting stroke freaks me out a little bit. It's a little jolt. Yeah. You know, and he's got the armlock thing going
Starting point is 00:49:56 on. It seems really doesn't make me feel like comfortable on the green. It seems really pronounced on uphillers. Yeah. Whatever reason. At least this week, it seemed like he left a lot of kind of benign uphillers, just, and I guess nothing's been nine around there. But it's a little concern. I had concern, he might not be the right word, because he does win and he's played it some way in the top 50 in the world.
Starting point is 00:50:21 But it's weird when you see someone that young already having the long putter and the arm lock and the claw. Yeah, that's kind of like fuck, but all the band-aids are already, he's got the gauze, but he's got the ace wrap, he's got it all on there. And the next step is amputation. So especially when they outlaw the arm lock, you know, we're just coming, right?
Starting point is 00:50:40 Can we be clear that this is coming from the flyer lie? I have not audited his version of Stroke's Game stats. He's got Zalator's leading in Stroke's Game Pudding for the week. Really? He gained 6.3 strokes on the Greens. So this is a bit, I assume that's, I don't know. I don't feel like he made a putt all lead some long putt. He made one like 18. He made that one for par. But I felt like he had like yesterday specifically. So I'm talking about yesterday. I felt like he had like yesterday specifically so I'm talking about yesterday I felt like he had a ton of really comfy two-puts Right, he was role. He was rolling a lot of 15 20 footers up to two three inches where it's like oh my god This guy's just stress-free parts everywhere again. I do not know
Starting point is 00:51:17 I have no reason to doubt these stats, but I do not know the source of these stats But he was by far the best on the greens this week. Yeah, that's I went through with me away I went through a few of those I'm not greens as we had. That's I went through a few of the same guy. I went through a few yesterday and some of some of them I had an issue with, like some of like leashes, stats kind of going through and like, you know what? That doesn't make sense. But they didn't match your gymnastics scores that you were giving them. Exactly. Well, yeah, no, I was actually knocking him in certain spots more than he was, but you
Starting point is 00:51:45 know, never mind. So someone had a question in the comments there. How many three puts did he had and the answers for? And so that's that's kind of where I come back to, you know, yeah, the stroke. I don't know how that works. Like the strokes game might say one thing, but you know, you listen to me. I'm like, yeah, he also missed a couple like real shorties that that and lost by one So like what do you want to say and I subscribe to the theory to like he's such a good ball striker
Starting point is 00:52:10 He gives himself many more opportunities at those like seemingly makeable putt And so I think we see him not making all of those putts because nobody can make all of them, but I just I don't know he didn't strike me as like his putting motion didn't look uncomfortable. His whole setup does. And just devil's advocate for that, I'd say, the putting, hopefully, like I don't think
Starting point is 00:52:35 it can get any worse probably. If he's already arm locked with a claw, like I feel like he's got to be near rock bottom with the putting. If they outlawed the arm lock though, which they should. He could go the way Tim Clark. Randy, have you considered the rock that the masters to never be seen from again? No, I can't find a putter that long.
Starting point is 00:52:55 I want to try it. I just can't find one. I can't find a lab. I'm serious. Yeah. Going back, I've been thinking about it, but I'm not going to lie to you. Yeah. Yeah. Going back, I've been thinking about it, but I'm not going to lie to you.
Starting point is 00:53:05 Is Alatorus, he's, I think he's, he's got youth as far as his, his, his PGA tour, like professional career goes, but he doesn't have a PGA tour career. He's not a number yet. True. Yeah. He's, like, he needs to talk about that. He turns 25 this year. It's not like he's like this spring chicken that's 19 and like, I mean, 20, at 25,
Starting point is 00:53:23 speed that one, speed one of it's 25 speed that one. Speed one. Mass 21. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was finishing runner up when he was 20 or TC. Yeah. He, someone in the chat said, he's kind of a, you know, JT. He's got a lot of JT vibes like with the swing. It's kind of how he gets the hands high. Just body languages, a hell of a.
Starting point is 00:53:41 That's why I would, that's it. That's fair. He does seem to to roll with it pretty well. That high fade that high like late cut on the driver is so good. Yeah. Can we talk about the membership stuff? Because there may be, you know, much like the Xander thing, there may be some people listening to this who are either coming to, you know, maybe don't listen to a ton of golf podcasts, maybe are just dipping their toe in for the masters. Why, you saw you on explain this? Why is he not a PJ tour member? So he's not earned PJ tour status.
Starting point is 00:54:10 He did not go to, you know, as a graduated from corn fairy tour, which is like the main path into getting status as of right now. You can get because of the supersese. You can get the special temporary membership to the PGA tour by in your sponsor's exemption starts that you get or Monday qualifying spots, whatever starts you get on the tour, if you earn as many points as the 125th ranked player earned in the prior year, you have obtained special temporary membership, meaning you can take unlimited sponsor exemptions for the year.
Starting point is 00:54:40 So he has unlimited sponsor exemptions and deterrentments. So he has his card for next year, next season. A different category. You have to earn enough points. It's a weird, different thing, but it's almost the same thing. You gotta get enough points to, or you gotta finish top 125,
Starting point is 00:54:53 I think in the current imagining FedEx Cup that you're not really even in, and you get your card for the next year. The point being, you got it. The only reason this is of interest because of course every tournament is gonna wanna give him a sponsor exemption at this point.
Starting point is 00:55:06 But the only reason it's interesting is, like, he can't play in the playoffs. And he can't, you know, which is crazy. I saw Andy Johnson read a story that if he would have won today, so he's won shot away from winning. If he would have won, he would have gotten PJ Torment Membership, which would have put him, he would have gotten retroactive FedEx Cup points for all of his starts he's already made, which would have put him forth in the FedEx Cup points for all of his starts he's already made, which would have put him forth in the FedEx Cup ranking. Which means think about how high he would already be in the rankings and he's not in because of...
Starting point is 00:55:31 Because the PGA tour is a closed system and they want to bite their hand, just bite their face or whatever. Which I get why that works. It's just like a weird, they can't just wave a magic wand and say like, now you're in. So I'm going to say.... Someone someone say bite your hand. Bite your hand to spite your face. Yeah, I don't know. No, bite your nose.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Listen, what's in that the saying? I don't know if you're nose. I was never so successful by the parts. I was thinking of. Deage, they someone said that Zaltoris needs, he needs a big win. He needs a real big. He does. He's a real big win. He's a real real big win. Going into
Starting point is 00:56:07 this week, he was leading he had 713 FedEx Cup points leading the non-members list. Victor Perez was next with 234 and he would have, I think he probably got 400 more something this week for finishing second. So it's like he's you combine those don't count for anything. It's just that's what if he wins, they would all count retroactively. Yeah. Those are how he is. But if he does, it's better than what he's there. If he doesn't get a real big win, then they disappear
Starting point is 00:56:32 into the e-fist. No, he can't play in the FedEx cup. The only reason, like, hell fuck, hell yeah. That's so stupid. And I think, spiting your, your, the thing that you talk about all year and sheepening up, young talent, on up with this guy, he's, he's, he's, yeah, he's young talent. Oh, no, but this guy he's he's he's in the top five Technically, but like he's not playing whichever again
Starting point is 00:56:50 Like I get why it happens because you can't just say like you can't just decree like okay, you know what now you're it Now you're it because then there's gonna you know They got to make that decision. I think you are in the top you're in though. Like if you get a hundred top on 25, that's the points you're in. That's, that's not that difficult. Listen, I'm cool with that. That's cool. That's cool too.
Starting point is 00:57:11 But it is like, it's the only reason I bring it up is because the FedEx cup money is so fucking big now that if he can't get into the playoffs, I mean, imagine if he was supposed to be number 15 or 20 or something going into the playoffs and have a really, really good chance at $15 million Instead, he can't play. I mean, shit think about how much money Scottie chef or made last year. He should sue them For like Casey Martin style like sue the tour and loss of it lost income. Yes
Starting point is 00:57:38 Restraint restraint of trade. He needs to maybe needs to garnish some of these got Roger Sloan and some of these guys as wages It should be paying taxes to his out towards Andrew Sheldon asked over under 1.5 green jackets for his out to us. I Love this I love the questions. I love this game. I'm gonna take the ender so early at this I love where you're at Andrew, but I'm gonna take the under I don't see how he done one four Speed has what four five now at this point. I think so. God it blows me away every time I think it's like
Starting point is 00:58:09 it's like speed is only one one. It just sped up. Speed might have 1.5. I know. I know. I know. I know. You had a couple, you know, it's crazy. Did you see the stat I tweeted?
Starting point is 00:58:18 That it's six in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2021. A total of six golfers have beaten speed at a gust. In the total of those five years, does he include him? Are you including himself? Total of six golfers. And that is, uh, he's got one green jacket out of it. He's got as many as Danny Willis got in that time period. That's God, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:58:48 I'm trying to wrap my head around there. I don't know where to start. I don't know where to start. Let's go with guys. Let's celebrate it. He's back. He's back. Listen, you're exactly right, Randy.
Starting point is 00:58:57 It's just, I can't possibly watch as much golf as I watch this week and think about where speed possibly could have saved three shots. You know, minus 2.7 on the greens this week according to the flyer line. That was a joke. He should have won by fucking six this week and think about where speed possibly could have saved three shots. You know, minus 2.7 on the greens this week, according to the flyer. I was a joke. He should have won by fucking six this week. First and foremost, he needs to apologize to Griller for number nine on Thursday. It was disgusting. We try to hit the punch out.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Yeah, it was almost, yeah, reckless punch shot of all time. He hit it off. Todd your strong. Like I just I, I can't I I can't that's real. I totally I can't get over that. I mean, can you get over this that he was first in strokes game t to green this week? Yeah. By a mile.
Starting point is 00:59:33 So good. He had it so good and just complete like lost brain activity on a couple of holes. How about the conversation on 15? Oh my God. Yeah, I flipped over to the 15 on 15. Oh my God, it's flipped over to the 15, 16 feed. When he's just, he's trying to lay up and it's like, he's like trying to talk Greller into shooting this gap with like a 52 degree wedge and Greller just finally
Starting point is 00:59:59 was like, what are you like? Why don't we just punch out with the wedge over here? What are you talking about? It's going to be like 10 yards farther right, but it sounded like the old. I really like it sounded like me and TC would be like had way too much to drink. And it's, you know, we're partners in an all shot or something. I promise you, Tron, which blade of grass you looking at? Are you going to start it on that one? Are you going to finish it on that one?
Starting point is 01:00:20 I promise you their conversation is more interesting. I haven't been a part of it. And I've said observer to both of them, only to outside. I bet they weren't having as much fun as you. Oh, no, no, no. If we don't take it five yards closer, then I then I can't hit the chipie cut in. What is the architect asking for us here, though? Maybe that I mean, that's what speaks in girl or what? What question this Clifford Roberts want me to answer here It was so stressful watching them all week. Oh, he should I mean legit I don't say that lightly. You should have like had you played great and I keep played, you know
Starting point is 01:00:54 It was the serving champion of course, but God's beef serving runner should have won by three or four, right? I mean it was just crazy to the people say stop tweeting about him? Absolutely fucking not. Not going to happen. Like, this is, this is, like, what is worth following golf for? Yeah, that's fair. It's not going anywhere. Neil, going back, I don't, I don't want to know, like Clifford Roberts. He's probably, I know, he was probably asking a lot of questions.
Starting point is 01:01:20 We don't want to. I like between Bobby Jones and Alistair McKenzie. You went with Clifford Roberts. It's the first time in the pop. For my head. For Fosia. Guys, thanks for circling back around on that. Because I was thinking I was like,
Starting point is 01:01:29 Fosia, that's not what I wasn't to. That wasn't the architect. Hey, that's wild, man. Thank you, TC. Why did Greller shave his beard? I don't know. Why did anything shit happen? The whole week was confusing.
Starting point is 01:01:41 People were saying he's got a job interview. That was, we're not doing that. Come on, we're not laughing about those jokes. I think, I think, you know, what? He shaved it because why not? He's an alpha. He's Miguel now. He's Miguel.
Starting point is 01:01:55 It's getting hot. While I'm thinking of this, would you like to issue an apology for saying that can't lay broke up with this girlfriend because we got some DMs that identify that he did not. I'm sorry, you know, apparently there was a born, you don't need to give more detail to it. I'm a born supremacist. There's a born marathon. I'm a man.
Starting point is 01:02:14 I'm just a mom. I really can't lay had a lot more to do this weekend than, you know, play golf. So yeah, it wasn't a broken heart. I mean, the blue go with search and for answers. And that wasn't the answer. Search and for answers and all the wrongs, like, so you know what, I hope Cantlay is, you know, freaking, you know, loving good open and chug grace right now. Randy, did you have anything else to add on speed?
Starting point is 01:02:40 No, he's back though. He might win every major the rest of the way this year. He's back and he stinks, which is which is Which is the sweet spot, which is exactly the sweet spot. Royal St. George's man. That's that's up great. It was Concerning how well he drove it. I mean, it was it was just like I don't know. I don't know if I've ever seen him hit it that good In Augusta. That's what was so frustrating. Oh god damn man. I know. How does the shot in 18 come up short? I don't know what happened there. What are we doing?
Starting point is 01:03:08 Get the big back stop to take it off of? Did girl or give him a bad number? Don't even take that. Stop it. Stop it. It was frustrating. I mean, we knew he was back, but I'm even more committed now to him to be him be back after that performance
Starting point is 01:03:27 TC let's talk about leash. Let's Here we go the floor is yours. What would you like to say TC good bad otherwise give me your honest reaction to the day You know, I know I talked to Maddie a little bit earlier in the week. They Least finally listened to him as far as the like they didn't play it all in Monday, late night on Tuesday, night on Wednesday. And so I think he was super, he was bouncing around Thursday, Friday, he was super fresh. It just seemed like one of those days where like from the very start, he was in the fairway on one and then from the very start, he missed that, which should have been a really good thing for his eye, that approach shot into one.
Starting point is 01:04:06 And, you know, Maddie said it was just a different win. They're just a, just kind of an awkward win for them. You know, I imagine like I wouldn't have wanted to play with team Rose. So I imagine, you know, that, you know, Rose is shaking his hips all over the place. Yeah, exactly. He's got the room on, all that stuff. But he came back and birdied too. And I thought in, and then like drove it down into the Delta counter on two and then ended up making birdie on two.
Starting point is 01:04:35 And then from there, the lines are short though in airports these days. Exactly. Well, in doing a lot of social distance. You got the app too. Yeah, that's accurate. In Delta, you don't have to go to the counter. Like you saw that with speed.
Starting point is 01:04:44 Speed just skipped the whole counter. Yeah, looked like he was going in there. I know go to the counter. Like you saw that with speed. Speed just skipped the whole counter. Yeah, looked like he was going in there. I know you're good. Yeah, pull this three back. Why do you guys call it the Delta counter? Is it so? Something we made up. Yeah, we made it up.
Starting point is 01:04:52 It's an old thing. Like you hit it down the left of two. Like, that's a Delta cat. Check out. You're leaving for the weekend. Back your head on home. Change your ticket. Yeah, that's good.
Starting point is 01:05:00 And then you lost a little. Shout out to Dan Jenkins, I believe. Dan Jenkins. A lot of strokes off the tee. He was today today It's a like he drove it super well. Yes, which is again. That's where we want to be That's leashes game. No, but like lead he drove it. He drove it super well He had two bad driving days and two good driving days. I felt like he drove it like asked today Um, and then I think on three was where I really started to worry where he missed that like he laid up off the tee
Starting point is 01:05:26 Had a comfy number and I'm sure like 125 ish and then that was a tough shot But goes a little bit long makes Bohee from from you know just off right there and then Played really solid golf like number five. He had he did freaking laser in the number five I've had it had probably one of the closer birdie puts anybody had all day ship on four Yeah, yeah, yeah, the chip on four was gross And then yeah, and then like seven was like all right, dude. We need a we need a bird here We need a bird here and then ends up coming up short and
Starting point is 01:05:59 Trying to hit a mega flop and then makes bogey from there when it's like dude like we got to be hunting for a bird there I think if you for a bird there. I think if he makes bird there, things flip a little bit, but many's in the trees on eight after that. I don't know, it just felt like he started off on his back foot and never really recovered. Yeah, I mean, incredible week overall. Take away.
Starting point is 01:06:19 It's just awesome, awesome golf from the bottom of the line. I'm super, super proud of him and and and Maddie for that matter Just you know, yeah fans. It's 72 67 70 73 finished four shots back and you know T5 with ROM so incredible week. I am Just sitting pretty in our draft Kings thing. That was big. What did you have? 120 on the plus 900 plus 900. Plus 900.
Starting point is 01:06:49 Mm. I'll take my boosted shadow of the draft Kings. I'll take my boosted top Australian bet. Top, top bloke. Top love. Hey, that's really cool, guys. Really cool. Neil, God, I hated seeing Mike.
Starting point is 01:07:00 We were Mr. Cut, man. I did too. I hated that for all my friends up north. Can we talk about talking to all you Canadians? Take that for us. Can we talk about the top English bloke bet today? Top grinding on the top English bloke bet was so money. We were so money.
Starting point is 01:07:17 Mike, Matt don't call me Mike Wallace is, I just need to be top three Englishmen and there were, it was a log jam. It was a bloke, but you know, the bloke points. You got to watch the bloke. I was reporting them from everywhere. They're all tied at plus one. It was Fleetwood, Hatton, uh, Mike Wallace, uh, Fitzpatrick. Rose already up there. Rose is already at the top, but there's somebody else was, uh, was tied with them. Uh, no, Polter. Oh, yeah. And Casey. And then Casey left the chat Paris English was in English was it kind of an honorary bloke but then so they Kate no sorry Casey posted number and then hadn't went to one to minus one and then Wallace was hanging out at
Starting point is 01:07:55 Plus one and the other guys had fallen back Fleetwood Pistot and it was like oh dude. He's on 15 yet a 10 footer for birdie on 15 We're so money, baby. We got a funnel pin next hole. This is on 15, starts biting his shirt. Goes to 16, three jacks it, and then comes in and shoots fucking two over. And finishes fourth, like T-4 for the top English bloke. Paul Casey, Bernie, 13.
Starting point is 01:08:19 It was 14, 15, and six. It was the top. It was maybe personal. Of all the pouches I've had this year This this one that's gonna stay the fact that I hitched my wagon to frigging Nuts job mat wall was a tough tough scene, so thank you. Thank you for Let me share that much like the Xander miss on 16 I think it was it was picking the Mike Weerbet. I mean that you, but you bogey two or three early, you know, that I know.
Starting point is 01:08:46 Yeah, you bogey 16. That's what it's gonna. But listen, the Weervat was fun. I was like, you know what? Like I want to I like riding for we're weird. He seems like a, you know, a easy got a root for sure. Speaking of, you know, mental cases, I believe it was the phrase you used there. We have an official apology tweeted from Billy Horshaw.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Really? I am and have always been a fiery competitor. Unfortunately, the fire inside me sometimes runs hot when I'm not getting the most out of my game. It leads me to some instances where my conduct is not what I wish to show, especially as a role model to the younger generation. I apologize to Augusta National, the members of the club, and to the patrons for any conduct that may have crossed the line.
Starting point is 01:09:23 I'm always trying to improve and do better as a golfer, husband, father, or as a human being. Thank you at the Masters for a memorable week. I got it. I hate that. Respectfully, like, just shut up. I don't want you to apologize. Exactly. No, it was great. Stop talking for like six months. Yeah know, however you want on the course, just stop talking off the course. And if somebody pressured him to apologize, we'll screw them. I key had nothing to apologize for. I'm totally with you. I did issue the thoughts.
Starting point is 01:09:53 You run, he runs hot, man. What do you want? It's entertaining. I give me more of it. Brandy, I feel that way too, Randy. Today, I reissued the thought to all. I did see that TZ thing. That's important.
Starting point is 01:10:07 He did the outburst today with the multiple taking the same club and slamming in the bag three times in a row was that's not a great way. No, when he was when he was looking at the master flag, just, you know, have to what he like that was yesterday yesterday. Yeah, yeah. Who are you talking to? Until I hear whether or not, you know, I have to what he like that was yesterday yesterday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who are you talking to until I hear whether or not, you know, I should accept his apology from Billy Payne that I'm going to reserve judgment. Billy Payne should should hold a presser.
Starting point is 01:10:33 Exactly. Say, hey, our hope we can get him back in our gig. Our idol Billy, Billy Ho did not live up to the standard that we expect. Yeah. I mean, nobody was asking for that apology. That's, you know, I don't think they were, right? I'm sure he just maybe just like don't, I mean, he was a loser, just don't do that. Or he got feature group coverage two days in a row.
Starting point is 01:10:54 Exactly what I was gonna say. They knew what they were signing up for. Yeah, you know, they don't, he doesn't need to apologize to anybody. He's a apologize run hot. He's got his competitors. I'm sorry. He's apologizing because his, his,
Starting point is 01:11:04 but his official position at the tour precludes him from acting like this That's true So can we talk a little rom Yeah, what's there to like he shot 66 today as a great round. Yeah, I just don't know Like you put a really sensible round of golf for the first time in ages. It seemed like well, she got a wonder perspective. Just set in. Has to do with the perspective.
Starting point is 01:11:29 Just set in. Yeah. 72 72 72 boom bogey free 66. That's, you know, that's the perspective that you can get from, you know, you know, you can't lose it. You can't win it on Thursday. You can lose it. You absolutely can.
Starting point is 01:11:42 Uh, I want to. I actually appreciate Rahm's post around comments. He essentially owned up to, you know, he's had some decent finishes on paper today being one of them, but he hasn't truly competed or been there down the stretch in a major. And I thought, you know what? That's what I've, that's what I see myself. And so I want to give him props for recognizing that stating it publicly He moved up a couple notches in my book today. I'd love to hear you come on board the the wrong bandwagon Randy I know he's you've been not anti-ROM, but you know, yeah
Starting point is 01:12:16 Yeah, he hasn't interested you very much. I've been the last couple years. Yeah, no It's just he's a big garty relief pitcher He doesn't aesthetically don't do anything for me. Who'd you compare him to? Todd Coffee. Todd Coffee, just pound in the zone with 94 mile power, straight fastballs. He's got, come through the chat that's I missed that I'm saying you need a layoff burn. Yeah, why you take your Yeah, watch yourself man. You can't be doing that these days There's all there you can't be doing that all people these days. I'm asking the question. Oh, I'm asking is the question legitimately
Starting point is 01:12:59 Verne didn't sound like he was in the best of health today on the broadcast careful TC Neal's gonna come after you and I don't know I think that's that might be a bit of a stretch I didn't think he sounded any different than he sounded last November now some Jim John Haynes was saying it was Jim Dan's the call to very immediate corrections. I have I will I will apologize. I asked that's why I asked the question Do you I think you need to apologize then you said I said dance always nails the family to him. I asked that's why I asked the question. I think you need to apologize then. You said I said dance always nails the family to him. You said you played a perfect game. Perfect game. I was wrong then. I will apologize for that then. You know what? I know we bash CBS a lot. I know this is not going to be what people want here. I was very impressed by dance this week. I just I missed his.
Starting point is 01:13:39 I thought he had a lot of gravitas this week. Randy serious. What is that mean? What is that mean? What is that mean? What is that question? I thought his questions were great. I thought he asked very considering the translator, barrier, considering the, the most, Randy fuck you, that's a hard job. That's hard to ask people questions that draw a motion, especially when they don't speak your fucking language.
Starting point is 01:14:03 Oh, it's, yeah. I thought he did a great job. It's real hard to draw a motion out of somebody. He't speak your fucking language. Oh, it's yeah, I thought he did a great job. It's real hard to draw a motion as somebody who just had the biggest moment of their life. Give me a break. I couldn't get over Nance. Nice tour.
Starting point is 01:14:14 That's Randy's had a point. I couldn't get over Nance giving. Oh, I'm sorry. He's giving Roger a little bit more. This is a small trap to our interview is should we? this is some rady's quite is not getting paid $12 million a year hey hey my money it's big rady how are you?
Starting point is 01:14:33 whoo that's that's electric the people love that sorry that's a love of belt rady that's a love of belt PC PC you make a good point though that's fine I want to fit in good L there he gave Roger good L a hand job in the middle of a telecast. Yeah, that's good.
Starting point is 01:14:49 It's good to happen. Yeah, that's good. Listen, there's some other contract, there's some stuff going on behind the scenes that you don't know about. That's gonna happen. That's gonna happen. Didn't Nance? He did vacate the premises that seemed like for an extended period of time.
Starting point is 01:15:01 It was laying out. That's what you guys want from him. I think he was on the phone with promo. It's possible. Hey guys, God, you scared me. I'm not happy. It's scary. Get it out of here.
Starting point is 01:15:15 Sure, we could do some coverage. Get out of here. You loser. I'm a toss. I could kick off hamster, damn. I got one thing. What the fuck was that? And Fowl-Dowed second nine piece.
Starting point is 01:15:24 He walked up from nine green. And the leaders are on like a whole number six like what are we doing guys? That was brutal. They did another feature on seven and then went straight to Whole six from there whole like it just didn't nothing It almost felt like that Fowdo piece felt like Fowdo's Like bug in the produce like yo, I really want to do this piece I really really like I think it'd be awesome. They're just like I mean, we got it It's just get out of the way we got it. It's like a school project You know, it's like we got let's just give for throw Fowdo a bone We'll we'll sneak it on the front nine and won't even be a big deal. They're pot committed like I we made it
Starting point is 01:16:00 We got to show it. We have to show it. It's like man That was that didn't add anything. I felt a lot like, ESPN does those, I'm not just saying it on this week of all weeks, but ESPN does a great job with their tremendous job, with their segments. They legitimately do. Like the right Thompson ones, I feel like always add value,
Starting point is 01:16:17 especially at the Open Jamie chip. And it felt like CBS was kind of trying to do a counterfeit. Yeah, version of those and they just weren't good. The pricing one they did this week was awesome with Tim Tucker, he espanded it. Yeah. Yeah. Just about talking about, you know, how he does math and their whole relationship and everything if they have it online somewhere, I'll try to link to it.
Starting point is 01:16:37 It was really, really good. So the club show one, I thought was decent as well. That was great. Yeah, I thought there was a great perspective. Going back to CBS. I thought Big Tone was actually great in that one. He was. I brought a toss in that one. He's just I can't wait to tell you about big tone.
Starting point is 01:16:50 You want to go back to CBS? That's part two of the whole podcast. Let's just get this out because this is like poison. I need to just get out. Right. Okay. It felt like for the second day in a row, they got behind early. They got behind in the count early with coffee's thrown heat coffee's thrown heat. They're not. They're not. They're just looking to protect.
Starting point is 01:17:07 Like they first 10 minutes they go, they do the whole Butler cab and deal and he sit, standing there with, with, you know, Fowl to a nance. And then they lost the plot with Xander on three. I mean, that was inexcusable on four or four. Yeah. And then, and then they ended up, like they, they were missing shots of guys in the top five top six. They were five, six, seven minutes behind on certain shots. There was just no, there was zero flow on the front nine. On the flip side, I thought some of the camera angles they used were like they covered 15 magnificently this week.
Starting point is 01:17:41 Yeah. I thought they had some great great cameras on like on seven on Five like some stuff to really show off the different You know slopes around the course that normally get washed out on TV And then really at the end of the day like I just like somebody Turned Fowdo's mic off when he's not talking just breathing and breathing stuff But in their defense, he never stops talking. So it's kind of tough to shut it off.
Starting point is 01:18:07 But I think overall positive, I don't know. Overall pretty good, I'd say point one, being able to go online and watch four broadcasts at once, including the broadcast is incredible. Counterpoint, it really highlights how far behind they fall in the broadcast, because you just see things way, way, way in advance. It's so unnecessarily so, or even when like there were certain spots where guys would be hitting
Starting point is 01:18:30 a shot ostensibly live on the broadcast and the score on the score box has something completely different where it's basically a spoiler for that. And like there was a there was an hour stretch on the on the front Nile was like, yo, just like like This is limit this is limited commercial interruption and you're still not able to show us yeah live golf like that That in that case the commercials aren't the problem guys. It's you. Yeah Yeah, I mean the online good raining. I got one well I I mean, the online Go ahead, Rainey. I got one, well, in CBS's defense, I guess, I thought the Front Nine, just the action lacked a lot of flow.
Starting point is 01:19:10 You know, besides Matt Siamond's, Outtourist, they're like, it was like drawing name out of the hat. No one, no one was really making a charge or it didn't seem that exciting. I got one big pet peeve that I've noticed with Masters coverage on those hyper zooms that they do to the ball, when they settle by the hole, you lose all perspective on how close it actually is.
Starting point is 01:19:31 I hate that. Great call. I agree. I'm right there with you. Thank you guys. Randy, big, that's hard hitting. Just don't zoom in that much. All I had to add, I want to double down
Starting point is 01:19:44 on the different camera angles. I feel like we saw a lot of different stuff. And it just really shows off Augusta National probably in the best. I think we've ever seen it. And the drone. So that was awesome. Some of the drone stuff. Like I know for a we're watching with some of the wags and was like, oh my God, it's so
Starting point is 01:20:00 hilly there. Get the people that don't watch it. Which is nice because you don't get a sense of that from the hard camera. There's some that I wish they would stick with longer like lean into like when they were showing the one on 17. That yeah, Xander's put on 17. They had the like almost like down the line from his putt and you could see how downhill it was and just how crazy that green was or showing rose from the drone on 15 when he
Starting point is 01:20:23 was chipping. Yeah. Back up up I think on Saturday that was a really cool shot and then the whatever the 15 million dollar cameras that they're using there's super high-def wide-angle ones are so cool. I feel like the drone was a new toy for them in the fall and they didn't really know how to use it that well I mean they did some good stuff I think they seamlessly interacted the drones in like this year, but I think the Venice cam, whatever it's called, still was kind of a new toy. They're kind of showing off and there's the next time around, they're probably a little better at integrating that into the broadcast.
Starting point is 01:20:54 I think they, I mean, that shot of Hedeki, leaving the 18th green. I know it's hard to screw that one up, but like that, that made it all. And any overuse they did of it through the week. I felt like that was justified by how awesome match I was. That's more breaking news here. Mr. Nicholas has tweeted, I want, take note of this, I want to send my heartfelt congratulations to Hadekki Matsuyama for his master tournament victory
Starting point is 01:21:18 and for being the first Japanese male golfer to win a major championship. I'm not only very happy and pleased for Hadekki, but also the whole golfing world of Japan, not them. I've been blessed to spend a lot of time in Japan, and I know they love the game of golf. They're also very proud people, and they're even prouder today.
Starting point is 01:21:36 I competed against the great, as Sayoa Hoki, and know how revered he was, and is. Hideki will also now forever be a hero to his country. I was able to watch every shot. And Hideki played beautiful. He kept cool and calm. Got a bad break on 15, but was composed enough to stay in it. I felt bad for Zidner who played wonderfully
Starting point is 01:21:55 and had every opportunity to put pressure in Hideki but wasn't able to with a triple on 16. No mention of Barbara. Dying in a match. No, I don't know where Barbara was today. I would say emphasis, emphasis added by the narrator at their old discussion there. Just that fly.
Starting point is 01:22:09 I was a lovely bit of breaking news. Thank you. What else? What else we got to get to? Fino, Big Tone, we shocked the world. We did it, baby. Top 10. What's, what's Team Tone Ranger?
Starting point is 01:22:23 How they feeling on the boards right now? Tony. Yeah, Tony message boards. I'm only on the team rose message boards. You know, and take a peek at the Tony message boards. No, because that's the whole bit. Solid moderator on the the whole bit for team Rose was that there is no team Rose. Nobody's done fucking team Rose. And they tag team Rose on all their things. That's the bit. Tony doesn't do that. He doesn't pretend like there's Finao Nation out there or something like that. You know what I mean? I got a couple really sorry.
Starting point is 01:22:56 I'm sorry, you had to hit me on the nose with it. Well listen, you're setting me up for failure there. What are you talking about? You're talking about the Finao message board. It's the whole separate bit. All right, listen, I was just trying to extend the bit. Come on, man, I was just trying to work the bit into something else.
Starting point is 01:23:12 Sure. I had a couple really, really shitty DMs from Team Rose people last night. Just play the chords, Neil. Yeah, I will do. What'd you say? I had some like bad drunk DMs from members of Team Rose last night.
Starting point is 01:23:25 I got two separate ones that were like very upset and then they woke up next morning. Sorry, I had too much drink last night. My fight about the same guy. I think overall on Team Rose, I think we're chuffed overall. I think it's a big week. I think it's a big week. There's lots of build on. I think we should have taken heed of his comments coming into the week that
Starting point is 01:23:46 he was sitting in his trophy room, uh, visualizing every shot at Augustine National and that that was going to film with good vibes. Obviously it did, uh, you know, a little disappointing to finish what, what were we? Fifth, seven, seven, seven, seven, uh, but, you know, we're, we're going to be back and stronger than ever. That was an expensive, especially in Olympic games. On 18. I give a shout out to the DJ Pi School of Central
Starting point is 01:24:10 He made the pattern 18. He did make the pattern 18. All right, I guess leash made a pud to hop up into T5. The DJ Pi School of subtlety of like, you know, the one of the first lessons he taught us when making videos is like, don't, like you don't have to spell things out directly, literally for people, like let them kind of interpret things. The roses all over
Starting point is 01:24:29 his shirt today. Yeah, that's not from the DJPi school of subtlety. Did you get it? I need you get away with where they're going for there. I'm going to take it take it easy. Yeah, take it easy on my my my my, my hitters over at Pinobos. I'm sorry. So P, P finished top piece, not in there. Top 10. Good round from P today. Good weekend from P 70 69. Which is, you know, I feel like he kind of finished where we, where we thought, you know, he's playing well coming in. He's going to be, he's one of those guys like, you know,
Starting point is 01:25:02 probably not to the spieth level, but I mean, he's going to be a threat here for a long time. The threat to do a lot of things. This is going to be something we're going to have to live with everybody. Everybody's a threat for that. Exactly. But read read it Augusta is going to be, you know, people want to talk about how Salatores is going to have 10 or 11 masters. Like reads going to read is going to be a threat for a really long time.
Starting point is 01:25:22 Shout to Corey Connors, top 10. I know he had a rough day today, but you know, ball struck his way into top 10 of the Masters. That's very impressive. How about that? How many people get invited back next year? Is it top 12? Top 12.
Starting point is 01:25:34 And speaking of which big shot Bob McIntyre finished in a tie for 12. And he, he, there was some tweets going around about a, a rain bunches celebration you had with his caddy after finding the baby for next year. Massive group at T 12. It is a big group.
Starting point is 01:25:48 One, two, three, four, five, six guys at, at 12. And so all those guys will be back. Yeah. And they've already got big issues with field size as it is. So they were low this year. They only had 88 guys or something like that. Um, yeah, Web Simpson's do sink. Kevin Na, C. Wilkin, Bob McIntyre and Brian Harmon
Starting point is 01:26:05 all back for next year. They're making horseshoes apologize. Maybe they won't ask him back next year. That'd be free of the spot. Cam Smith, T 10, Wayne players getting an exemption actually. Is there an example of when players going to get into the drive chip, but is there some example of Augusta not like quietly not inviting someone that should have qualified because like because of not, you know, because of etiquette. I heard of them like threatening people. I'm talking racially like back in the day. Yeah, there's some. I'm not talking that. I'm talking like like legitimately like if they didn't like the way, you know, like Billy Ho conducted himself or something, you know, like somebody did something, somebody cheated, but they were qualified
Starting point is 01:26:45 for the next year. Like, I'm just wondering if there's a historical precedent for that. Because it seems like if there was a tournament where that would happen, it would be at Augusta. Like, hey, you're taking a year off, bud. I think they, I think they kind of can hold it over people's heads.
Starting point is 01:26:58 I mean, it's definitely within their right to do so as a total invetational. Yeah, I don't think Onhell got an invite this year. That's probably true. Yeah, well, not that he could have thought she had been saying Gary McCord. Is it good example? Yeah, that is a good call. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:11 I would not be shocked to see you, Skullfax. You know, not back on property next year. Interesting. After the cell phone debacle this year. I don't know about what about my friends. I heard about George Gankus too. Yeah, Gankus. That's a legend, but yeah, there was a couple of swing instructors
Starting point is 01:27:32 that sounded like escorted off property or asked to leave this year. Gosh, what else we got? You want to talk about this? Another shout to Stu Sink for finishing T12 with the masters at age 47. I mean, that's freaking incredible. Yeah. Is it? Is it?
Starting point is 01:27:50 Yeah, DJ was dogging him for being a big guy that babies a ball around. Oh, no, I can't claim response. That's Ron and that's the TZ's words. Yeah, I recognize those words. I've been on that block for 20 years. I was going to say literally 15 years I've heard that take. It's one of my favorite. I would try to say that Cory Connors was that.
Starting point is 01:28:10 I was saying that's not I don't buy that. I was saying he has whiffs of that. No, I think. I think it kind of babies it around. No, but he's got the he's not like the LPGA tempo, which you should love. I mean, like that's it's like metronomic tempo. I said I think he, you know, I don't think he babies it, though.
Starting point is 01:28:24 I don't think Cory Conner's babies are golf ball. I have to look into it. Before we wrap up, if you have any other topics, people want us to get to get us in the chat. I was gonna say, hey, golfer. Yeah, I was gonna say, we did pods throughout the week, but if people missed some of those, I mean, some of the guys who missed the cut, anybody,
Starting point is 01:28:39 anybody who weren't far down anybody who, we've probably started cut missers, I think. I just the only one that bears repeating. I mean, Dustin was really bad. That's tough, but do we need to mention Rory again? Or is that just bad sport? Yeah, I don't think we've covered. Well, Dustin went and played Champions retreat today. Just hung out.
Starting point is 01:28:58 Love that. You know, do you think Justin's, do you think he's back in Jupiter yet as of this recording? Oh, I'd definitely say so. I'm not thinking about it. Yeah, yeah. Speaking of miscuts, do you think they're going to he's back in Jupiter yet as as of this recording? Oh, I'd definitely say so nothing Yeah, yeah speaking of miscuts. Do you think they're gonna retire any of the old guys? Marka Mio didn't seem to think that there was that you know tap on the shoulder He's like I've heard some rumors of it, but didn't seem to think that was a real thing. Who's next Larry my sandy liel I don't think those guys are husband are ready to like I wouldn't I don't think they're they're distracting from the quality of play There's only one guy that didn't shoot around in the 80s and it was you're you're raining us open champ Tyler's Trophachi
Starting point is 01:29:32 Didn't shoot around in the 70s or sorry in the 70s didn't break 70 I should say I'd like to see some of the old guys like Larry Mies and those guys you can play in the tournament you get to play two days to matter what and you get to play the uptees and those guys, you can play in the tournament, you get to play two days to matter what and you get to play the uptees. Failure. You get to go play. Well, this was, you're not in the tournament really, but you get to go play.
Starting point is 01:29:49 You're a mascot. Don't listen. That was so much to ask for those back teas. All he's just trying to undo his ages, don't listen to those. This was my commissioner for the day, idea I had. You should play the masters forever, but you get to lock in, like it's like locking
Starting point is 01:30:03 and interest rates, you get to lock in whatever it's what what tees you won from. Yes. Yeah. I like that. Then you should have to use that same equipment too. Can we talk more about that's totally fine. Sure. The second cut's got to just go.
Starting point is 01:30:15 It serves no purpose. Well, I think it does come one of those firm greens. It seemed like it made it harder to hold a lot of those greens. I think it made a big difference between being in the fairway and being especially on the 13th and 15th. Like try to hit like a draw. I mean just, but it just slows the course down even more. Like it just, it doesn't need to play any longer than it does. It doesn't, when the courses and the greens are that firm and the fairways are soft and then balls stop and the rough, I just don't think that's really serving much of purpose. I'd be open on nine. How they they got rid of that second cut
Starting point is 01:30:45 and Speed's ball ends up rolling until it got into the pine straw on nine. Like I'd rather see the course play like that than you know, balls just kind of stopping it. I don't know, I just don't see what it really does. I'd be open to add to speeding up the fairways. Yes, right? But I don't like on a whole like 10,
Starting point is 01:31:01 I think the second cuts serves a purpose of like, man, you're gonna be stuck way up on this hill, 30 yards back, like you're not gonna get the benefit of, if you hit the fairway, you're gonna get like crazy run out. That's great. Even 10 wasn't running out that much this week. I know, that's what I'm saying. The fairways were too shaggy for sure,
Starting point is 01:31:18 but the second cut, I don't feel like is, I'm a little indifferent, I guess. I think the riddlers put the, put the owners on the governing bodies to do what they need to do with equipment and then anything that's why the fairways were slower. Oh, I think that's just what they need to do to defend against like having some integrity in the golf course as far as sure, you know, length and everything. But yeah, I do think that there's a little bit of you're not you're not putting as much
Starting point is 01:31:42 spin on the ball. A little agree, but it just it seems to like catch balls more than you know keep them going further into trouble more than it does like really punish you. One question I have is which like a few few spots I guess they shaved down and took that cut away around the greens. What were the specific places for that? I don't know I don't remember where I don't remember encroaching too much on the greens. It felt like if I still feel like there's plenty of, you know, I guess six is it? Maybe a little bit?
Starting point is 01:32:12 I have to look that up. I don't know where they really shaved that down much. They don't give you a list of all the changes. 15, they should make that. They have to make that green all the way down to the back lake. I love that, TC. I love that. I pin it back lake. I love that TC. I love that. I've been it, pin it back there. One of the days. What cosine? The fairways just seemed shaggy to begin with. They just seem like
Starting point is 01:32:33 they're not CTR Steve saying, did I just call the fairways shaggy? There goes my master's badge. You know what? I did. I'll say it again. I thought the fairways were shaggy. Apparently you can't, you can't, you can't say that about like us. But they were. They were the fairways were longer than they, Apparently you can't say that about Augusta, but they were. The fairways were longer than they, they, you know, there's no run out. There for sure.
Starting point is 01:32:50 I agree with you. And then they mowed back towards the teas to prevent. It's just all these things. They're like, if the ball didn't go that far, we wouldn't have to do some of this stuff, but we don't have to rehash that. God, I'm, I'm kind of shaken by the idea of that big greed all the way down to the backwater.
Starting point is 01:33:05 I'm 50s for lock. If you imagine if they had just like almost like the pine trees are in the middle of the green, like get the putt around them. What if they just made a little finger out there that was pinnable one of the days? Would be very interesting to see who went for it. It's just so you had to go for it. You know, you're down free shots back. That's the interesting T.C. I'm here for that. It's just such a weird deal when T.C. got a beautiful mind when it comes
Starting point is 01:33:32 to color setup. Three was a great, three was a great example today. Like somebody goes just long or just off the green or shed a decky on, on 15. Yeah like just over and it's so slow putting out that stuff. And then you've got and then and then all of a sudden it hits the green and it hits the nost boosters on the green. They've got to they got to get somewhere in the middle. I agree. I'm gonna ask you guys three questions here on our way out. One first one. What's your strongest memory of the week? What's what's gonna be your lasting image of the 2021 masters? Yeah, what's the shot of the tournament? What's the,
Starting point is 01:34:11 I think you're asking or you ask? No, just like what lasting memories? What's your last, I mean, mine's Wayne player for sure, but it's really? No, I'm just gonna say, I mean, just like, Hadecki's just, like, just total prominence. He was the most like of extremely deserving winner. Wasn't the most exciting golf at the most part got a little exciting there near the end, but just supreme dominant golf performance. I think yeah, I think realistically I think it's going to be Hedeki walking off the 18th green. I thought that was awesome. I got I kind of got Zander in on 16T just the disappointment on his face. They zoomed in on a replay and it was just like, God, that's so brutal, man. Yeah, that sucked.
Starting point is 01:34:46 I'll go. I'll probably think of, sorry, Randy, go ahead. Oh, sorry. No, I was going to say, just before talking one image, I retweeted the great image of Hideki's caddy, bowing back down the 18th fairway. I would say, yeah, shot or, like, the longer I think about it the more I think about Hadecki's back nine on Saturday.
Starting point is 01:35:09 He's shot into 15, man. Holy shit. Yeah, and that's the one that really is seared into my mic. So Micah said Billy host slipping. That's a good thing. That's gonna last as well. That can be that too. That's good.
Starting point is 01:35:22 All right. Who changed what you think of them after this week? Whose legacy has changed? Who's, you know, who has shit, what shifts have you made? I feel like non-Mozzi Yama Division, right? I think so, yeah. I say Zalatoris. I mean, I've been kind of, you guys have been talking about them a bunch, you know, on
Starting point is 01:35:40 our weekly previews. I've been like, yeah, you know, whatever. And now you have my attention. He's up to 27th in the world. Yeah, I think he's deservedly so. That was a bit of a yado for him this year. I would say, man, I don't like this because it's gonna involve eating a lot of my own words,
Starting point is 01:36:00 but I think it's Bryson and Gustaf, at least for a while. Hell yeah, I think it's the least it, DJ, let me, I'm trying to be very humble here and explain why I'm changing my opinion, but I appreciate your guys' humility. Of course. Yeah, it sucked ass this week, man, and it sucked ass in November, and he just looked so off, and that didn't feel like, oh, he just doesn't have it this week. That just felt like mass confusion. And it's possible that like everything else,
Starting point is 01:36:30 like he's gonna, you know, he'll snap too and he'll figure it out because I'm sure he's gonna obsess over it. But man, it sucked, sucked this week. And it just didn't look like, you know, the guy that we thought was gonna bomb it over all the corners and just have a little flip wedges, it doesn't look good.
Starting point is 01:36:47 Do you see? Oh man, go to somebody else first. So many different directions. I think I'm so overwhelmed. I'm gonna say a great question. I'm gonna say Rory. Yeah, I was thinking Rory. Yeah, similar to the Bryson comments or what?
Starting point is 01:37:03 Doesn't seem like it's gonna happen for them there. It's probably maybe an overreaction to maybe his worst master's performance he's had, but gosh, picturing him winning, I can see a lot more top five, but winning, do you see how hard that was for a decade, how good he played and he won by one? Do I think we're always gonna win one? I'm really starting to convince myself
Starting point is 01:37:23 that I don't think he's gonna win one. I don't know, but Roy has that other gear where I had I still think he has it. I still think he has it. Seven years, man. And now other people have that gear too. That's fair. I mean, you're searching. I get what you're saying. That's what I'm saying though, that it's a place you can win at. If there's anywhere you can win when you're older, I feel like a gust is that place, right? Where he could just, what, how old is worried now? 30, in a year? Yeah, in a year. I think he's 31, 32 maybe. Who could pause that?
Starting point is 01:37:53 I'm not ready to declare his chances over to go. Yeah, I agree. But also I do think this was kind of shocking. It was damning. He was damning. There was the manner in which he knows 31, 31. Solid, I've, I, he's the same age as me. I really feel So I've very, I just see me just me. I really feel I don't think you're gonna win it. I go see you. I don't.
Starting point is 01:38:09 Especially after this year. You get the clock. Even on Rory. It's definitely taking on me. Not after the shaggy fairway comments. That's for damn sure. No, that's for damn sure. Yeah, I don't know if I can co-sign it, so I only but I very much I feel where you're coming from. I'm in the boat currently. I just don't know if I'm signing for a lifetime taking it to the boat. No, I'm not bailing on Rory.
Starting point is 01:38:28 TZ. Leash. I think he's gonna win one of these. So you don't think it's over for Rory, but Leash is older and he's a golfer. Rory's a guy that hits golf shots or tries to hit golf shots. Leisha's a golfer.
Starting point is 01:38:45 You know what I think might be tougher leash in some ways is like I almost, what's the right way to say this? I almost feel like his exemption is gonna run out before his ability to win. It's gonna run out. I was thinking about that last night a little bit. You know what I mean? Like I feel like he's gonna, and no fault of his own.
Starting point is 01:39:02 It's just the way it goes. But like he's gonna fall out of the top 50 eventually or he's gonna not win a tournament or like, I agree, I think he's just a ball striker and he can contend there for a long time, but it was- He's got to figure out how to get punches ticket. And that's the thing I think I was thinking about last night,
Starting point is 01:39:19 like thinking about guys who, obviously, about Max, for instance, of like, hey, this has to be a super motivating thing to, you know, like he stuck around yesterday on Saturday and watch, you know, watch the and play around and that's got to be a super motivating thing. Like, you know, I got to, I got to stay at this high level. I got to get back here. This is too good. This is too good to miss every year. I never want to be on the couch sitting at home for this. And I think for leash going through it, it's like he's he's played. He missed 2015, but he's played 16 17 18 19 20 21. And you know, I don't see like it seems like he's obviously a shoeing for next year and probably for the year after that. He's got two more yeah, two more shots here.
Starting point is 01:40:02 And I don't see his game deteriorating at all. I also do wanna just point out as many of the commenters have that the question was, what changed the most that you're riding? The guy you picked to win this week, you also picked to win again. No, it just changed the fact that like I was thinking that I was thinking that this was-
Starting point is 01:40:20 You brought this instance of that. I was thinking that this was his last good chance, right? That like this was his last good chance. And I don't feel that way. I think that I think that he's got more left in him. And I think that we will see more of him at Augusta in the coming years. Did you give us yours, Randy?
Starting point is 01:40:38 No, I mean, I agree with Rory. Just for the second, I kind of hinted at it earlier, but I think, you know, we can all say that Jordan Speed is officially back. And I, you know, at least from November where he was a tie for 46, I think in 2019, he had a top, what was he tied for 21st, but he was just kind of band-aiding it together. The biggest thing for me is like, dude, he's had five top five since the start of February. He's competed at the Masters. He, I'm so excited for like him to regain
Starting point is 01:41:16 that like spot at the top of the golf world. Which brings me to my final question. Steve's Master 22 asked, how does Kia was set up for Jordan and how many will he win by? Steve's master. Shout out to the Steve's master. Yeah, Steve's master. Thank you for that question. Appreciate that. Because I went from thinking like, I don't know if Steve's ever going to win a PGA, and now I'm like, oh, dude, like, he wish it worked good for him.
Starting point is 01:41:38 It's the driving, right? Like, if he's, I mean, if he's driving like this, it's a totally different conversation. Yes, that was the whole issue, as he was kind of, he's given up yards and driving it kind of all over the map. And now he doesn't seem to be doing that. So that is continuing. That's the career slam, huh? Then it's a very interesting, interesting conversation. But, you know, I don't know if he'll be my pick necessarily at Keele, but it's, I don't know, I'm looking forward more to the open than I am. Yeah. The other two majors for Jordan.
Starting point is 01:42:04 I don't think he was suits him. And I don't think. I'm looking forward more to the open than I am. Yeah. The other two majors for Jordan. I don't think he was suits him. And I don't think Tori suits me. But Tori definitely does not. I think he or it could could work. I like the greens are a lot different. Walking Neiman, column work, uh, like just, you know, I don't know. Rom. Yeah. Rom feels like a great pick for Kiwa. I don't know why. I just, you know,
Starting point is 01:42:22 speech just doesn't feel like he's because he throws heat. That's why. We'll see. I think I'm I think I'm taked out. What a week. Good stuff. Yeah. That was a, you know what? There was people's dog in this leaderboard. No, that was fun. I had a great week. I really, really enjoyed it. It was great for the masters to be back in April. It's great for, you know, things kind of felt a little more normal. I felt like then this one, the one in November. So it was thrilling. I'm glad we had good.
Starting point is 01:42:50 It was a pleasure watching it with all of you. Oh, it was. It was a lot of fun. And you ran. And the live stream stuff has been great. Thanks everyone for watching the live shows. And go ahead and listen on the pot if you want to to help us out with the numbers there too.
Starting point is 01:43:03 That helps a lot. If anyone has curious what the podcast looks like, there you go. It looks really sexy. Just one more shout out to the Steve's master. Yeah, that's appreciate that last question. Randy, we missed you in the kill house this week, but thanks a ton for coming on all the shows this week. There's a lot of fun.
Starting point is 01:43:17 Of course, guys, thanks for having me. We'll be back next week. One more shout out. Jose Maria, all the trouble. Maybe cut. Maybe cut hasn Maybe cut. Maybe cut hasn't made a cut since what? Like 2014 or 2015?
