Starting point is 00:00:00 Music All along, come along, sing the open song and the paint and your might blend a cheer. Either when she is strong, now the days are quite long, all along, sing the open song. uh... solid here in the kill house big randy is joining for the first time here hello big randy low guys hurry you wonderful that is the sound playing for my board apologies for that uh... t c s here i'm here i'm just always right i when i run the the ones and two's i just get
Starting point is 00:01:01 something always goes wrong so i'm not the master here d j pie is not here today so uh... kind of go So I'm not the master here. DJ Pi is not here today. So kind of got a lot of balls in the air here. Randy first time joining the show here, just throwing this week I should say throwing grenades, if I may say to English fans today on Twitter, just unprovoked attacks. What's got you fired up about the oba chibachips so far?
Starting point is 00:01:20 Unlocked, anti-block. Some just snapped. You know, I pride myself in sticking to the facts. And if people don't like that, then that's their prerogative. But, you know, I'm just so sick of Paul Casey. Like, it starts with Paul Casey. I'm so sick of seeing him, you know, around the top 10 in majors that he's not really in contention at.
Starting point is 00:01:44 And it just got me thinking, like, what Englishmen, they don't do anything. They never, they don't do anything. They're like UT basketball, right? They do less with more than any other golfing nation. And I'm just sick of it. I'm sick of all of it. I love Fleetwood. I love Maddie Fitzpatrick.
Starting point is 00:02:05 You know, this is not a personal take. Team Rose is gonna be pissed. Team Rose, yours to the last 25 years, since Sir Nick's last one. It's not good enough. It's unacceptable. And I had to get it off my chest.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Well, before you got the Brits, this is the one week that the Brits might actually be watching this week, with it not being a late finish. And you choose this week to do it. And I greatly appreciate that. Before we get going too far. I'm from, I would like them to know,
Starting point is 00:02:36 I'm from the Cambridge Union style of debate, facts only, very, I'm a very classy debater. So I hope they don't, you know know think i'm just an american troll or something hit a little bit of gain on your mic while uh... tc tells us a little bit about our friends at wine access randy i'm gonna throw some facts at you uh... a wine access is where you use use wine facts
Starting point is 00:02:58 yeah use use wine facts uh... wine access is our resource for buying wine and uh... but their offerings actually go beyond wine. And with the Tokyo Olympics coming up, if you're just drinking sake with sushi, you're missing out, which I'm missing out. I need to get deeper into the sake game. Eduardo from Wine Access, who ran Morimoto's
Starting point is 00:03:18 Global Everage Program for 10 years, I believe Iron Chef Morimoto. Randy, I know you're a big fan. Of course, you don't, of course, you don't have to tell me that. He put together a piece on their website with some interesting socket pairings. It's a wineaccess.com slash NLU socket. That's a S-A-K-E, again, wineaccess.com slash NLU socket. And, uh, from barbecue and pizza to Mexican and Thai curry, he's got all sorts of pairings on there. Bacon cheeseburger with the Hirai Jun Mai. I know Pusch is just going to roast me for all these pronunciations to smoke barbecue on. There's a Thai curry,
Starting point is 00:03:56 Takachio, Kata Fune, soft, soft, soft, soft, yeah. Grill Tomahawk steak and Amayo Soukasa black. There's all sorts of sockets on there. I'm gonna get deep in the sockets seen for the Olympics here. So, hopefully you guys do too. And then of course, there's still the 15% off your first three orders with wine access when you go to wineexcess.com slash NLU.
Starting point is 00:04:25 And yeah, just great selection on there and just stock up for kind of this summer stretch and into the fall. Randy, we got a question from Alström in 1999. How does Louis finish T2 from here? Let me reverse the question put it on you guys. We might be getting ahead of ourselves, but is, is Louis going to win? No, because space is going to win.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Speed, I'm not, I'm not, I will never waver. Speed is going to win. Well, you'll never waver. I will never waver. Speed is going to win, right? You betrayed him. No, we're not doing this again. I, we put this to bed last night. No, we're not doing this again.
Starting point is 00:05:05 We put this to bed last night. Randy, a speed is still going to win. Yeah, well, I think he and Mark Awl are both going to win if you're asking for my honest opinion. That's the biggest threat right now is, is Mark Awl. I would say. Is Mark Awl more than speed or more than, more than Louis? I would.
Starting point is 00:05:22 I mean, when Louis wrote in the Eagle on 14, I was like, oh, all right, this might be like the open championship runaway. And then he turned right around and bogey the next hole. And it was like, okay, I can start to sense how he's going to just slide back. He's probably going to come one shot short yet again. I've seen this movie many, many times. I'm with Randy on this one. I'm not. This is the least threatened I've felt by loose days and at any point. And I have to thank him. He's got me in first place in my draft King's qualifier for the fantasy championship series.
Starting point is 00:05:50 First out of 180. And he's going to take me to the title. And we're going to Vegas, baby. But so I owe him for that. I legitimately think he is going to. I'm probably going to win. I really am actually going to win this thing. But big Randy, I think you're in 50th.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Sorry to, uh, to he was up there beating you for a while today He had his guys were playing in the morning. He was not he was never beating me first. Well, he has Rory on his team You're beaten whistles go. I am I'm beating everybody, but I'm gonna ask I'm gonna ask you to answer for Rory. This is a Rory free zone. I don't want to talk about Rory I don't want to mention his name. It's just like It's it sucks. He needs to retire. As to different way.
Starting point is 00:06:28 I'm actually might support that. At MattPel 45557897. I think it's his phone number in his handle. How does Louis, how low does Louis have to go tomorrow for you to comfortably pick him as the winner before Sunday, Randy? I think he'd have to be like eight shots clear. Eight eight.
Starting point is 00:06:49 That's a lot. That's a lot of on an easy golf course like this. Sure. I feel like we're characterizing Louis as something that chokes away majors a lot, which is not the case. It just literally doesn't fall his way every time since the one that he won. What? What's what's an example of a choke? The drivetory wasn't great.
Starting point is 00:07:09 He doesn't have like a notorious choke, but I think you're carrying a little bit of water for him. Like he also just doesn't win. And so, you know, no credit for not having like very public chokes like spieth at Augusta, but he just doesn't do enough to win. It's not like he's, you know, getting out kicked at the line all the time.
Starting point is 00:07:29 I'm not buying that. You gotta go snatch it, but at the same time, like I don't think he's, I mean, it's a lot. Like a lot of things would have to not fall his way to like lose like a foreshaddle. Like you're, you're, you're characterizing him as a choker in that instance. Yeah. If you're, if you're saying a seven shot lead,
Starting point is 00:07:46 wouldn't we get enough for him going to the flat around? No. I know. No, you, you asked me, you asked me where I would feel comfortable. Okay. That's a different question than like, could he win with a three shot lead? But where I would feel comfortable and like, oh, yeah, Luis, for sure, going to win. It's like eight shots.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Odds right now, Ustazans plus 225, Speed is plus 400, Moira Cowell plus 450, DJ plus 800, Ron plus 1400, Kebka 1400, Shephler 1400, and then Paul Kate fallen all the way back to Paul Kasey at plus 4000 after that. I know you got a Kasey bet, I'm sure. But yeah, the case, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Anybody wants a lighter one? It's for Tally not even like Casey, just mail it to us instead. For Tally and Sheffler not even. They weren't even, Sheffler was in there and Sheffler was plus 1,400, but. No respect for Daniel Von Tonder. For Tally's plus 5,000, Von Tonder's plus 13,000 right now.
Starting point is 00:08:45 131, plus 5,000 Von Tunders plus plus 13,000 right now. 131 Von Tundern, we're back. That's gonna be a very confusing one. What did you say, Grillo was? As I was going to say, Von Tunders is going to be a very confusing one on the Wikipedia page. Grillo is plus 6,500. Grillo is such a good ball striker.
Starting point is 00:09:02 He is. He is crazy. He's Andre Sermaro, 2.0. Exactly. And Andre's would make runs. That's a... I mean, he was like a freight train coming. He would...
Starting point is 00:09:13 Exactly. He'd be nine under on a 12-hole stretch and then he'd have a sloppy double and then a couple parsing around and maybe closing the birdie, you know. He'd be hidden in a berm or awful wall somewhere. Oh, the best. I miss that guy. The big thing with Grilo's always been putting, I'm gonna try to put some numbers to this.
Starting point is 00:09:29 I think these greens kind of neutralize a little bit. Yeah, it doesn't seem, I don't know, again, we don't have stats to go off this. So we're kind of just, we're kind of winging in. Or we could do what Brano does. They have a day wall, they have a day wall, they've built the wall, They won't let you in. Yeah, NTT data is not giving us any data.
Starting point is 00:09:48 This is the worst sponsorship ever. They're literally blocking us out from the data. Yet, Grilo was 185th in 2019, 192nd in 2020, 10th, randomly in 2018. But in recent years, I was really, really struggled with the putter, but he has always been able to hit the shit out of it.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Can I make a pause? Mora Kaua, I feel like the afternoon was so busy, the waves were first of all very uneven. And Mora Kaua's second round, 64, seems like it was a couple of days ago at this point. Threatened history today. He almost, he could have very easily shot 61. We effectively threw the Twitter jinks on him,
Starting point is 00:10:27 but that was about as clinical of a round of golf, as you could imagine. Would we be more excited about it if we had just watched that finish? I mean, I was pretty like, you know what I mean, but as far as his chance is going on. I think the Voguey on 15 kind of put a damper on things too
Starting point is 00:10:42 and then made a good par putt down the stretch there, I think on what, 17 or 18, but yeah, it was just clinical. Like, it was nothing too too flashy about it. It was just really, really, really good golf. I don't know, it was, but like, it almost felt, and like, maybe I'm just making this up, but it almost felt like a foregone conclusion yesterday that he was gonna come steaming in. Like he seemed like he played solid yesterday,
Starting point is 00:11:12 going out in the morning today and just asserting himself. And there's probably something to like not, just putting on a different putting surface that you know guys are not as used to putting on that you know he is giving shots back to the field almost always putting. And he's he's got a stranger like no he's he's got a new grip again this week another new one I think he's just a new grip every week he uses throughout the round it'll claw in in boacer and then more traditional farther away. Huh. That worries me.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Which, you know, whatever works, right? But I think to this point, like his Iron Play is good as much as it has talked about, like the staggering separation he has from the rest of the field really kind of hit me today because you can look at the numbers. He's got, he's averaging 1.406 or something Stroke's gained approach.
Starting point is 00:12:06 And second on that list is Paul Casey, somewhere around 0.9. So you're like, yeah, you know, like whatever, I'm 0.6 shots. That's two and a half shots, better than the second best guy per tournament. And Paul Casey is that far distance above the 55th best iron player.
Starting point is 00:12:23 That's how good Mark Howe has been. He's got... He's cat-like. I think it's the fourth best ever Strokes game approach season that in the history of the PGA at Taurus in 2003, I guess, since they've been in the shot link, of course, to top three being the cat. It's just kind of like seeing that. He drives it plenty good enough.
Starting point is 00:12:40 It's obviously the putting that has held him back. God, how has he not had just a monster, monster season hitting it that good? But, man, I'll tell you who's a little bit of a, of a odd, you know, insurance in here to the first page of the leaderboard is Dylan Fratelli, because you're talking about a course that has only two par-fives. They're not really, you can't really overpower them or anything like that. And Fratelli's more of like a just ascended off the tee, not gaining a bunch of shots on approach.
Starting point is 00:13:11 I think he's up in the hundreds last year and this year as far as approach strokes gained. He's added like 20 yards of distance in the last year quietly. Yeah, and he's seven under. He's T4 right now and really got here late too. Like went, went home from Quad Cities to Austin and then flew to London, think he got there on Tuesday. So.
Starting point is 00:13:33 So four South Africans I'm counting in the top 10. There's been quite the South African representation. Five. One, two, three, four. Four. I tell you what's interesting about Fratelli too, is he's doing all his damage on the back nine, which is I don't know if that's it's technically, it's technically playing easier. Is it? It doesn't seem like it shouldn't. And I saw the stat today. It
Starting point is 00:13:56 was crazy. It was like, you know, something, it was like a hundred and fifty stroke difference. The back is is playing and today it played a shot easier. Yeah, so basically a shot per player, a shot easier, 150 plus stroke difference, then the front nine did. And yesterday it was closer to a half shot, but I'm not exactly sure what that means, but a couple easier pins. But they had that finishing stretch. The last five holes for the last five holes played under par today and five of the last seven.
Starting point is 00:14:27 A couple of funnel pins on that back. They were good. They're not funnel pins. Come on. They were like up near some of the most dramatic slopes. You know what? You can't spell. You can't spell funnel without the word fun though.
Starting point is 00:14:41 It is a little more fun on a golf course that if I may say, it's not blowing me away. I'm gonna need the St. George's Defenders to step up because it's quirky. Quirky was like one of the perks of it and like none of the weird shit is seems to really be happening. It's just not bouncy. It's too soft.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Well, you know, you're the one that was coming at us for bitching about that at winged foot. But winged foot is like a very solid design as very interesting pins, interesting green contours and the greens were playing. For 75% of the term of the greens played pretty interestingly. 50%. 60, 62%.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Yes. No, I think some of it's just, whatever two, right? I might, like the, like the, like the bunkering would be a lot more penal, I think, if it was bouncier, like the bunkers get bigger, the bouncier from the gets and the windier it gets, right?
Starting point is 00:15:37 Yeah, it just, it seems like, it just, I don't, we're just not getting the full experience. We're not, and it seems like more than greater than 50% of the time in this championship, it just seems like, well, we didn't get the weather. So the course didn't really do much of anything. That's exactly what I was about ready to say. It's a shame, but a lot of these open road courses seem like they're so weather dependent.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Maybe it's so soft if the weather doesn't cooperate. Maybe it's like the pipe masters or the Eddie. You know, they've got to, they only hold it if the conditions are right. I like that. DC, I like that. You know, and that the conditions aren't right, they just go to car news to you or something.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Yeah, didn't we have a bus idea for the US open? Did we? We're gonna bus all the participants somewhere? I feel like you're a champion. I tuned out for like a half a second and I'm so totally lost now. I mean, tomorrow's gonna be what, 12-hour wins again.
Starting point is 00:16:36 I allegedly a tiny bit. 12, they better slow those green deer. That's the thing. It's like, why are the greens so, like, not bouncy? I know they've had rain and stuff like that, but it's been dry this week. Yeah. It has to only get bouncy, right? There's no way they put water on tonight. But again, like this morning, they basically said, and maybe this is just because of the draw, they didn't want, you know, J to be all up on them, but they were exactly the same bounciness this morning and like within point one
Starting point is 00:17:07 speed wise this morning. So maybe they ramp it up tonight and again, but again, that's not really the RNAs thing, right? They don't think they're golf course. Isn't there something to like, you're trying to get the first two days to play as similar as possible, right? With the draws and I guess it's not as dramatic when you don't have guys starting off post, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:23 you don't have to flip starting off both sides and everything, but they got no excuse for not putting some pins in some precarious situations tomorrow. I'd say closer to edges, closer to slopes, watching balls funnel into bunkers. Like 16 was a pretty interesting little pin today. 15 was a really good pin, nine was a good pin, but I wanna see him, not necessarily,
Starting point is 00:17:41 I'm not saying it's like super diabolical, but just put it like, hey, a great shot's going to make a birdie and one that kind of gets rejected could very well be boggy, because when Bryson hit it in the bunker, I forget what Holy was, he hit it up against the lip of a bunker with like a somewhat of a wedge into a hole in the back nine. And I was like, huh, that's honestly like the first shot I could think of, first approach I could think of that has gone into a bunker this week, which is what I consider to be the main challenge that comes from approach shots. And I don't know. It seems weird that it would only take you have to have wind for guys to hit
Starting point is 00:18:11 approach shots into bunkers. That doesn't seem like how it should be. No, I agree. And it will end. It's like, it's not like the wind is going to ramp up next week or it's not like it was windy a couple days before the tournament. Like I'm going through the forecast over the next was windy the couple of days before the tournament. Like I'm going through the forecast over the next 10 days and it's the same fucking thing every day. It's like eight to 12 mile an hour winds from the south or the west. How about our man's spieth?
Starting point is 00:18:36 You look great. Growler look great. I think he did a great job today. He had that look in his eye. Spieth, the spieth approach game is just fucking dial. And he's got that bleeder, that little bleeder cut going off the tee, which I love, super repeatable. That was like the least he could have got out of today. It felt like 67. He played the last six holes one over. And that was a stretch of holes like we said, that four of those last six holes were playing averaging under par.
Starting point is 00:19:06 He could have easily gotten to 11, I think. Made some puts today, but had a couple they just hit lips. Missed one that really, I think he really wouldn't say that he should have made. That, honestly, he played so good and didn't get a lot out of it that has me, that's the first concern I've got.
Starting point is 00:19:22 It was like, ah, man, I have a feeling we're gonna look back at that Saturday afternoon or Friday afternoon and be like, man, he really wasted a couple shots there on that back then. I'd much rather be there than scrapping one around and squeezing every shot out of a shitty ball striking. Right? It just kind of almost feels like we're due
Starting point is 00:19:40 for a scrappy day tomorrow, right? And then we're gonna look up and be like, couple shots off the lead and just kind of, you know, I don't know. It's starting to, I'm still he's still my guy to win, but it's starting to smell like a tea. We have little faith. Come on. Yeah, get out of here.
Starting point is 00:19:55 He's fine. He's solo third. I know. She's 67 today. Get out of here. He's essentially one off the lead. Like he could not be in a better spot. You can't win the tournament on Friday
Starting point is 00:20:07 God what a beautiful little subtle dig there at Louis just you don't even see Louis name on the leader boy when you look at it do you? I don't I really don't think he's he's gonna win. Can we talk DJ? Like you guys have been dog and DJ lately. I feel like he's lurking. He's literate. One is the best value right now. Well, we talked about in the preview. He was 22, 23 to one or whatever, but going into the tournament, seventh lowest odds on the sheet, which was something we hadn't seen in the last, I don't know, five years maybe in majors for DJ. And seven birdies today. It was this leaderboard band. For the golf course, not delivering a ton of thrills
Starting point is 00:20:49 and it could bounce this way, it could do make bogey bounce this way, it goes birdie that usually separates players really well. I don't really feel like we have that. It has separated out top players because this is as good of a top 15 as I can really recall after two rounds. Usually these things are still sorting out after two rounds.
Starting point is 00:21:08 There's a couple guys up there that I don't expect to stick around, but man, it got heavy. Van Tonder, Grilo's not going to stick around. Andy Sullivan not going to stick around. Harding not going to stick around. All the manipulators are not sticking around. All right, I'll just come out and say it, how about that? It's crazy how many bogies there have been on number three. I think that wind's been tough.
Starting point is 00:21:32 And you know, two got Scam Tringale, big tone. You're gonna have to apologize for Tringale. What do you mean? He's having a great tournament, he's T12. You're all over Tringale all the time. Check out the wind. No, no, of course not. That's my whole thing is he's been on Torfer like a decade plus and he's he's never,
Starting point is 00:21:50 he just never does anything remarkable. He just racks up money. And of course this week you've been, you've been blowing up our slack. Like look at big tone, big tone. He's T17. Right now, big tone's such an afterthought. No, he's such an afterthought. He shot 66 today guys.
Starting point is 00:22:07 He had a couple of stumbles in the middle of the round, but Big Putt coming down the stretch for par, made a couple big putts, Big Putt on 15. I was impressed watching Big Tony. Big Tony, if he could putty be the links master. The links master. He is the links master. So now if you could putt, if you could for Fee now now because I've been I would We'd have a lot different conversations over the last two years if you've been dog in the hell out of Fee now
Starting point is 00:22:33 I just I just like meadling it. You just go opposite whatever I do You know what I was a scoring average today, so I'd have to let's behind the data wall. I don't know, I can't get the data. I can't get to it. I can't get to it. I also don't know how to get to it. This is the worst collection of stats I can recall for a major. I almost feel like, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:58 it felt like 68, 69 was right around the par. At least for anybody that matters. Scoring average today is, it is not quite one shot over par, right? Cause the back nine played under par. That acceptable. It's point four, 70.4 basically. And then yesterday was 71 essentially.
Starting point is 00:23:21 So, I say actually caught at the NTT data. Yeah, so I mean it's a data wall. Yeah, for as good as the website is so good, like all the content they've created, all the YouTube stuff they've done is also good. Yeah, it's pretty clunky. The app, yeah sure, maybe a bit clunky, but I see people out there like charting exactly
Starting point is 00:23:40 where balls are and stuff. I'm like, what the hell are they doing with all this information? Share it with us, come on. It's fun to do all. I know. Shaffler. Before we get going any further, I wanna give a shout out to our friends at whoop. You can go to whoop.com,
Starting point is 00:23:52 use promo code no-lang up 15% off. We make this point a lot, but I wanna emphasize this. I've been doing, obviously, sleeping less than six hours this week, getting up early, I'm sure. Randy, you can probably give us a similar report. You know, I know you've been sleeping really at all. You've been on the night shift for us
Starting point is 00:24:08 watching the 130 cock premieres. So you would think, all right, I got nine hours of sleep. That is way better than six hours of sleep. Turns out your body can recover a lot better in a six hour period. If you are, if you're ready for bed, if your heart rate is down, if your heart rate
Starting point is 00:24:25 variability is up, you can get a lot better sleep, your body can rest a lot better than just being in bed for a long period of time, which is something I'm learning. I expected to see some horrible recovery scores this week, haven't really been drinking, haven't waken up, you know, just feeling pretty good, and the whoop has been checking out. The whoop gives you a lot of personalized insights like that, helps you give you information on your sleeping habits.

I cannot speak highly enough about this product.
Starting point is 00:25:06 And yeah, it's been surprisingly good feedback this week. I was a little scared to look at it, but it's been great. Quality of a quantity, right? Sure. I'm learning that. I'm learning that. Also, just don't drink alcohol right before bed. That's a very bad thing for you to turn to.
Starting point is 00:25:19 I had a burger last night. I got all this woke up this morning. It was like I had run a marathon for eating a burger. Big like double double burger. That made you see better. No, awful. Oh, okay. I ran a marathon like before I woke up this morning. Yeah. Not good. Rainy that ice cream before bed. Not good. Not good. Guys, I was on the strain train last night. Yeah. What are you doing? They guy over 17. Oh my God, I got a great workout in yesterday.
Starting point is 00:25:48 I don't know if you're going somewhere else at that. So, uh, the single scene is fertile. I, I wish. Mile high club. All right, talk to me about Shephler, TC. Listen, I didn't see too much of it. I was, um, it was kind of busy this afternoon. Just tied up a few loose ends before a trip.
Starting point is 00:26:09 But 766 today. I don't know, I've never really pictured Schaeffler as a great open championship player because he's such a high ball hitter. Bogey is second hole today and then all birdies and pars after that. So he's a precocious, precocious contender, man. I think he's, you know, between the PGA at Harding and he's just, he's like, why is beyond
Starting point is 00:26:36 his years, I think? I think legit on other than, that's what I'm hoping for some spice. I want to see Shuffle Stick around, but I'm hoping for some spice this weekend in terms of setup just because, I feel like the only thing you really need to know about this Ling Skolf course is like how to hit different, how to fly different shots off Fescue. Like, the shots aren't really requiring
Starting point is 00:26:57 that much, you know, steering into. You can hit pretty stock shots around this golf course. So, like, seeing some guys up there that you wouldn't expect to see, if you're not expecting to see Scotty, I'm not surprised because I think it's playing like a kind of like a PGA tour golf course. More than it is like a links golf course. Yeah, I mean, maybe a lot different than a PGA tour golf course, but a shell of what it could be. But other than like driving it really far, what works there is also what also work here, right? You're not required to hit the eight iron under the wind
Starting point is 00:27:29 for the 112 shot right now as it now. So if that was, if the wind had blown 25 miles an hour and you know, high ball hitters without a lot of links experience, like Shephler, we're up there, I would, I would be surprised more than I am like, you know what, you can kind of just hit stock shots. Rani, any reaction to that?
Starting point is 00:27:46 I couldn't have said it ain't better than myself. I enjoy seeing Scotty there though. It's, um, he's got a lot of game. I just feels like he's, he's going to cash in a big tournament here sooner or later. Uh, I don't think this is as weak, but back and up the Scottish open with this performance, it's exciting to see him doing well in different settings. Marcel seems sticking around. Big fist pump guy.
Starting point is 00:28:16 See anchor. Oh my God. Is he anchors? No, he's fine. Come on. Get that out of here. I see you're just trying to drum up controversy. But no, no, I'm just asking the questions
Starting point is 00:28:26 What it Porter said he looks like a guy that would put up 27 9 and 8 against Against a US guard in the Olympics here in a couple of weeks speaking of the Olympics. How about Jivel McGee? No, not speaking of the Olympics No, the US basketball team. We're not doing that here. What the hell? I'm standing by. I'm ready to, ready to, whatever minutes I need to, I consider my patriotic duty if they need me. If they need a stretch for, it doesn't play defense. We're gonna need your guy.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Three, a three and no D guy, that's me. Andy Sullivan, minus six. You know who I'm most surprised to see in the top 12, honestly? Brooks. Rom. I got kind of like, got 64. I know, I kind of, I don't want to say,
Starting point is 00:29:10 wrote him off, but he kind of snuck up there this afternoon. He's a part of the first five holes, Bertie six and seven, Bertie nine, Bertie 13, Bertie 14, Bertie 15. Could have Bertie a couple more coming in. He had some close calls. He could have threatened shooting 62 today. And Rom's just like, I don't know, he's like a buoy. Like, you can't sink him. Like, you know, he, he had some close calls, he could have threatened shooting 62 today. And Ram's just like, I don't know, he's like a booey.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Like, you can't sink him. Like, you know, he, he, I feel like he was wearing a weighted vest. He's got a shape of a booey too. Yeah. He was wearing a weighted vest and he shed it and like, you just can't sink this guy. He does not go away. And even on a week where it doesn't feel like he has his best
Starting point is 00:29:41 stuff, he's sitting right there. It's the cream, the cream rose this afternoon. Everything kind of happened there. Of course, got really benign there in the afternoon and the cream really rose, but Randy Paul Casey, you want to dog him anymore? You got anything else to say? No, I don't have anything else to say to, you know, it's just so typical Paul Casey. Yeah, he's just there. He's just hanging around. He's laying over his tights. Yeah, I don't know who gets like excited by Paul Casey. Yeah, he's just there. Right? He's just hanging around there. He's lingering. He's lingering. Yeah, I don't know who gets like excited by Paul Casey, but yeah, take it away. No, no thanks. This was a very safe week to come out with your England
Starting point is 00:30:17 now winning majors take. It's not going to happen. Very clearly not going to happen this week. Well, it never happens. That's the whole point. Is it never happens? What is it? Rose and Willet? Is that hit since Falda? That's it. Since 96. So, basically, it's damning for Westwood.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Fitzpatrick. Donald Casey. Donald Casey. Wallace. I mean, I don't think you don't. I mean, Wallace for not winning a major yet. Related to the young guy. Fleetwood, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Ross Fisher. I'm looking at you. God, his name and name Richard Blant. Yeah, yeah, you got to plan. He's older than all these guys. No, no, you leave Blanty out of this. He's, he's literally playing the best golf in the world right now. Andy Sullivan. For sure, Andy Sullivan.
Starting point is 00:31:07 David Howell. Jack senior. Don't think I haven't forgotten about you. It kind of dawned on me today. It was like, hmm, yeah, the only rider cup, the only rider cup, the US team as one in the last 12 years had Chris Wood and Andy Sullivan on the opposing team. Like, maybe that wasn't that great. Maybe that wasn't that great. Maybe that wasn't as great of a win as I would like to remember in 2016. Yeah, they're in the ground. Oh, I'm definitely in the ground.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Brooks, not going anywhere. Another booey, if you will. Can't sink him. 400 a day, he's sitting T12. Of course, he just, he had to do it, couldn't resist it. Love my driver, gives a little smirk at Todd Lewis in the interview I was talking about face like the face of the driver to like I love the face. I don't I didn't hear him say that I missed that but
Starting point is 00:31:53 Yeah, he just couldn't help himself couldn't help himself. He's a boy. He's bullying Bryson We talk about the big the big break the big news out of that tell us what happened Randall blocked me finally What did you do? I just said, you know, Brando had gotten all in on, you know, Brooks's bullying, Bryson, Dada Dada, and then, you know, I saw, so, you know, Brando said, aha, that was pretty funny, like what, what Brooks said. I said, oh, so that's not bullying, like all of a sudden
Starting point is 00:32:21 it's funny now, it's not, you don't think it's bullying, just kind of throwing his own words back at him. And he straight up blocked me. After all the shit that I said to him about, roll back and you know, all this stuff, he chooses to block me on this. Strah the broke the candles back. Yeah, that was among the dumbest takes though,
Starting point is 00:32:40 is bullying take. It was it was it was in response to like riling up the crowd to harass Bryson in competition, which like I thought was as far as a past the line of what Brooks should push it. That was when he said that. So. But he know some of this stuff,
Starting point is 00:32:58 he was going beyond that too, with some other stuff, just the whole back and forth, the whole media, like the Todd Lewis interview, all that stuff. Okay. So it was weak. I would definitely put this in the camp of like clearly,
Starting point is 00:33:15 I couldn't be more clear, like this is the good-hearted fun that this thing should probably be about, right? I still think the, you know, the Brooksy thing was dumb and the Mick Ultra thing was even more dumb, but this is like, like very obviously fair game. Yeah. Anyway, I just, you know, I feel like everybody's tweeting. I don't really like, it's just a funny little thing that he did on the side. I don't think it's worth it.
Starting point is 00:33:37 It's not that big. You know, Mackenzie Hughes. But the last thing I'll say on that was like, I was kind of disappointed in him because part of me thought, like, all right, Bruxy, like major Bruxy, is not gonna stoop to this, like the dude's on the cut line, he's not relevant to this tournament,
Starting point is 00:33:54 and like this is supposed to be that you have four weeks. This is a shittity feeds off of. Right, but you have four weeks a year where you show up and really try on the golf course, like, kind of, I don't. But he, like that's his whole stick, right? It's a whole like perceived slides and nobody, kind of, I don't. But he, like, that's his whole stick, right? There's a whole, like, perceived slides and nobody, you know, it's true.
Starting point is 00:34:08 So, the thing that I thought was kind of bullshit from him was him going after Adam Schaefter on Twitter afterwards. Such a weird, like, atman. It's like, no, like Schaefter, like, he, he, he covers real athletes for living dog, like, like, you know know Patrick Willis or You know boasts is not gonna say like yo shifter like at me dog
Starting point is 00:34:31 It wasn't like a personal comment. It wasn't like it was talking shit. No It's like it was just weird. He's trying to get that like that made it as clear as possible that how much Brooks cares about this pip Like a sort of call it a pippy long stockings. Social media mentions from a large, a huge following football account is probably like, gonna move the needle a lot more than anything that happens in the actual golf world. So... I was impressed.
Starting point is 00:34:57 I thought Cam Smith played better than his score indicated today. Just a couple loose holes made four bogeys, shot 67 with four bogeys. Just dog. He's he's 100% dog 100% Tio de dingo. Whatever you call it. It's just he's just getting the most out of his round. Hang it hanging out sticking around a little bit disappointing from Harmon today
Starting point is 00:35:21 plus one So out of the University of Georgia T times are out tomorrow. We got Louis and Moira Cowah out at 3.55 pm local time, spieth and for Telli out at 3.45 DJ and Sheffler, then Vantonda and Grilo. Can we do these mountain time for Randy? All right. So Marcell Seam, Andy Sullivan, Justin Harding, Paul Casey, Kebka and Mackenzie Hughes, Ram and Tring Galley.
Starting point is 00:35:51 I did not realize Ryan Fox was up there. Finaw and Ryan Fox. He's just something. Cory Connors, Cameron Smith, Danny Willett, Brian Harmon, et cetera, et cetera. All right, let's play. How far back is too far back? Well, hold on. I mean, Shane, want to give a shout out, Shane Lowry.
Starting point is 00:36:07 That was 65 today. Sugar Shane up to T17. Let's see here. Who else? I expect a little bit more from Sergio today. One under par three, three under for the week. Simba, I was just giving a couple back today. Exactly. Web. And you know what? I think that's a direct result of the course playing too easy.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Yeah, I think the easier the setup, the worse he plays. Just just loses focus or doesn't have the same advantage of being. Yeah, exactly. Accurate. I was, I was just live it with Fleetwood today. Plus one. Yeah. Just disgusting. He's still going to be on the flight to Vegas when our team goes when we went to the Draft Kings pool. You know who shot 66 today? Chaz. Chaz.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Chaz making the cut, T31. Westwood, very good round from Westwood too. You know who did not shoot 66 today? Stuart Sink shot a 77 today and missed the cut after all of our praise that we gave him yesterday. So this is why we can't have nice things. Anybody know anything about this German kid? Matthias Schmitten. I can't say I do. Shot 65 today. And then let's see we got JT. A couple more guys I was disappointed in.
Starting point is 00:37:20 Tron. Huffleector. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Not a good round. I thought Joaquin would make a move in Xander. Not a great week for Xander. He's not done, right? He made the cut, right? He made the cut. Who's the biggest name that missed the cut? I was trying to think of it, like not a lot of,
Starting point is 00:37:40 not a lot of big names missed the cut. Uh, you got Big Leish, which shout out to Big Leash, he putted with his, he made two birdies, he was two or three under with his wedge, but with his wedge. I hate it. Nobody hates this more than I do, TC. But yesterday you said, tomorrow when he misses the cut,
Starting point is 00:37:58 I'll apologize. I'm apologizing on behalf of Big Leash and Matty, but I will say that he, maybe he should have broken his putter earlier. I mean, that was, you know, he, he, he, he buried, buried 18. I just have 18 and 18. I hate to have to drag it out of you.
Starting point is 00:38:15 You know, I kind of thought you'd come to the table after, you know, bring it to your attention yesterday. I thought you would have come to the table and been prepared to apologize. Hatton, Hatton did not play well all week. Hatton missed the cut. That's probably. Can't lay.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Can't lay up there too, is the biggest names in this. Randy, we were talking about yesterday. He just doesn't do anything for me. Oh, he's, he stinks. He missed the cut. Randy, who's leading the FedEx cup? We did this last night. I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Can't lay. But that, the son of the fetus cup, because he's not, he's just such a non-factor in majors. This is accurate. P, P missing the cut. How tall? I'd say how tall might be the biggest name to miss. I mean, for talking about just straight up, you know, awareness. Most popular.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Disappointed. The Schlange. P.J. champ. Yeah. straight up, you know, awareness most most popular. Disappointed the long P.J. champ. Yeah. Do you have any apologies you want to make, Randy? No, I think he was a couple of bounces, couple of burned edges on Thursday. I mean, he'd be right there. What was your pick? What was your pick this week?
Starting point is 00:39:19 What was your fill pick this week? I picked him to win. Oh, okay, that's right. I couldn't. I wasn't sure. I thought that was a good pick. Yeah, me too. On this week.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Adam Long, he was not the low shlong. Joe Long, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, There were some takes flying around this morning when Will's Allataurus announced that he was withdrawing due to injury that he received on the 15th hole. I don't think anybody dislikes Will's Allataurus. No, no, like rough takes, like takes about the rough of injury inducing rough, which I- Also, that takes. Yeah, I was kind of like with that. Like, I mean, yeah, I don't really, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:40:01 like I don't pretend to know exactly how to maintain Fescue Rough, but from what I've heard, it's been like the perfect storm Yeah, I don't really, I don't know. Like, I don't pretend to know exactly how to maintain Fescue Rough. But from what I've heard, it's been like the perfect storm of inability, you know, I baked out last couple of years and I've really wet this year. It means it's really tough to maintain, unable to mo it,
Starting point is 00:40:16 haven't been able to mo it in two years or something like that. Rubber the green. And I don't know. I don't, I think there's something too, like you can't, like really long rough consistently is going to injure players and not be a great thing. And at the same time, like, yeah, this one week out of the year,
Starting point is 00:40:35 you know this is probably gonna happen. And if you try to do too much out of this rough and you injure yourself, it's kind of, play within yourself. Yeah, so. I know. Very absolutely no sympathy takes. Well, I don't know. I think was allotaurus too. Like I don't think anybody wants to see the guy
Starting point is 00:40:50 like regarding the plot yesterday. I don't think anybody wants to see the guy not succeed. Like I'm right now like crazy for him and the kid hit a bad, a bad party hit a few of those at at Augusta too. Where the face just doesn't even... Imagine tuning in to watch the greatest players in the world and watching something so amazing least. It's like if an NBA player, air ball to free throw and got it a quarter of the way there, like wouldn't that be go viral
Starting point is 00:41:19 and be worthy of commentary? Like of course it was a big deal that's out towards today yesterday. Yes, come on. They make blooper reels in every other sport. And that's not going to say about the rough. Like if golfers want to be athletes, then give me a break. I know the rough is too long. They might get injured. You know, oh, we can't, you know, hit a bad pile. We got to be nice to them. Like get out of here. That's so soft. Totally agree. Totally agree. Uh, I'm just scrolling through stuff. Brandon Grace, Mr. Cut, made an eight on the 9th of the day.
Starting point is 00:41:45 He made a mess out of that one tough. Before, if we're scrolling that far, we skipped a key name that I do want to discuss. And if you want to abstain from this conversation, then you're welcome too. Roy Palmer. Roy McElroy shoots another 70, even par. And when asked after the round,
Starting point is 00:42:00 if he's trying hard to win one, he said, quote, not at all, I've got four of these. I'm going to say, Roy shoots another 70, even par. And when asked after the round, if he's trying hard to win one, he said, quote, not at all, I've got four of these. Geez, look, I've got, I'm the luckiest guy in the world. I get to do do, I love for a living. I have a beautiful family. My life is absolutely perfect at the minute.
Starting point is 00:42:17 I want for nothing. So it's not a case of trying too hard for sure. Randy, what's your reaction to that? It's a beautiful, what a lucky guy is, and how lucky is to have that perspective? I think it's a beautiful honest response. I have no issue with that at all. Okay, I have a little issue with it.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Like, I, why? She seems like he's lying to himself a little bit, right? It doesn't, I appreciate like. The candor. Yes, when you get home, once you get home, like leaving a disappointing round of golf or whatever at the course and enjoying the rest of your life, I'm there.
Starting point is 00:42:55 I feel like if this is accurate, he's very stuck in between with like what he wants in life. Like for me personally, I can't picture, if you've got already got all the money in the world, like more money than you could spend, your money is earning money for you at this point. Why travel the world and compete and be half in it? If, and I'm not saying he's half in it,
Starting point is 00:43:15 but like this is at least, like he would not make this quote if he was 23 years old. You're saying he might have too much perspective. Maybe a bit too much perspective. Like, I don't know. Maybe I'm reading too into it. You Maybe a bit too much perspective. Like, I don't know. Maybe I'm reading too into it. You were just like, yeah, yeah, what it like, we, you know.
Starting point is 00:43:31 It's a say, so I'm gonna bring this up. This is a little bit different. And this is in relation to a question I asked Jordan speak about money. So it's not a direct translation. Vory's talking about family. The question I asked Vory, or a spieth, was just kind of like, hey, when you're struggling, you know, you've made it big time financially, like, how do you, how do you
Starting point is 00:43:48 reconcile those two? And it's cool, like, just stuck with me. And it was exactly what I wanted to hear. He said, it's such a crutch to lean on in such an unhealthy way. If you're struggling and you're like, oh, it's fine. I'm not going to have to worry about money. It's no big deal. It's such a crutch and it's such an inhibitor to actually getting out of a funk.
Starting point is 00:44:06 And like contrasting those two statements today was kind of like, okay, like, I don't know. Like that made me less hopeful in Rory going forward. That's for sure. I think Rory just, he just doesn't mean dog in him. That's what I'm saying. Right, that's what it comes down to, it seems like. Like when he's on, he's on,
Starting point is 00:44:23 when everything's going well, he's a killer, but he just doesn't, you know, he's just not a dog. Like I think two things can be true. I think everything he said is, like having that good perspective on life is very healthy, very good thing and something I would, like I'm not disagreeing with any of that,
Starting point is 00:44:42 but if he's actually internally justifying, like, I just don't believe him in this in terms of that this doesn't bother him, that he's not playing well in majors and not competing at the highest level anymore. I don't believe that for a second. Well, but I guess that wasn't really the question though, right? Because I agree with what you're saying, and I'm sure it bothers him, but I think the question, as I understand it was like, are you playing really big, you're laughing too hard?
Starting point is 00:45:09 And he, like, I don't know. I get this to say, the way I took it was like, are you pressing because you're just trying too hard? And he's like, it's not really that. Which is a different thing, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Which I don't think he answered that question either then, right? He's talking about something totally different when asked if trying too hard. I don't know. Am that question either then, right? He's talking about something totally different when asked if trying too hard. I don't know. Am I reading it too far into it? I'm just tired of them like showing every shot of his breathlessly and like,
Starting point is 00:45:32 and expecting a different result. Like he, we're to the point with Rory where like, he needs to, he needs to show us something, right? Like he needs to re-earn that. Like I get that he's won four majors, but at this point, like, you know, not recently, right? Like he needs to re-earn that. Like I get that he's won four majors, but at this point, like, you know, not recently, right? There's other players that are more deserving of breathless non-stop coverage, in my opinion. I don't know. I still want to, I don't know. I still kind of
Starting point is 00:45:57 want to see it. Yeah, you're right. It's the same thing. It's so fucking frustrating watching him. Like just, you know, come up short with wedges or miss these pots that it's like, we were talking about it yesterday with momentum, right? Just establish a little bit more momentum or be a little bit more of a dog when it's not gonna be a perfect swing every time and figure out how to get the ball in the hole.
Starting point is 00:46:18 Yeah, so I don't know. I realize it's like, I'm Tron Carter, four handicapped telling Rory McElroy this, but I think at some point, like we've appreciated his greatness, and it's like his game needs to evolve a little bit, you know? Yeah, I mean, he's almost a shot worse, strokes gain wise than he was in 2019 at this point,
Starting point is 00:46:39 with decreases in pretty much every category. So, are you gonna say, Randy? No, it's just, you know, it's just I think everybody just gets frustrated because yeah, so many gifts and has such great talent and ability. It's it's hard to watch people when those pieces don't come together. Um, you know, I think people just, I feel like nothing against him personally, even. It's like, I feel like we all feel a little bit robbed of Nothing against him personally even. It's like, I feel like we all feel a little bit robbed of being able to watch somebody at the height of their abilities do great things.
Starting point is 00:47:10 And it's just a shame, you know? It's like a compliment. It's a weird compliment in a way. Exactly. You want to see the guy's seed? Because you like him so much. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Yeah. Yeah. And I feel like I'm not, I feel like I root for Swaggy Rory, right? And it's honestly been like a long time since we've seen Swaggy Rory. So it's like hard to root for the Rory that we see on TV now. And again, it's kind of a circular thing. It's not like you can't just go out and fake Swagginess
Starting point is 00:47:38 if your game isn't there. The, the, I don't know, the comforting fact of that is similar to speed when speed was not playing well, it's like the bottom didn't fall out. I mean, it goes it's still in there. Yeah, it wasn't like he's, you know, falling outside the top 200 in the world
Starting point is 00:47:54 or anything like that or completely lost his game. It's not a stents and style, you know, fall off the map of any kind. That's just kind of what makes it really frustrating is it like you keep, you can keep convincing yourself, it's kind of close and then it just, it really just isn't so. Guys, I'm getting, I'm getting word. Harris English, shot 65 today.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Shot 30 on the back. Flushing the ball, Randy. Home game. Oh, my God. Home name. You could be vying for low Englishman this weekend. Couple more questions we got. Joey Cux MSU. Will they get hyper aggressive with the pins tomorrow to save face?
Starting point is 00:48:33 No, I would imagine that they dial it up. I feel like the R&A just stays out of the way, right? They don't want to be the story ever. They'll dial it up a little bit more. Yeah, I wouldn't say it's to save face. I don't think they care that much about the winning score or anything like that, but I do think, I think they're probably acknowledging
Starting point is 00:48:51 it's time to introduce a little bite to this championship, whatever that may be. Turn on the stubbers, baby. Get them humming tonight. Can we talk Bryson strategy today? Do you sure? I didn't watch too much of his round. Did he change up his strategy much
Starting point is 00:49:08 or just keep willing on the driver? I didn't see every shot, but it did not feel like he hit as many drivers as he did yesterday, which makes a lot of sense because the driver sucks. Driver sucks. I don't know if it was a fuck you to co-brit to do that or if it was like, you know what, I don't know if it was a a fuck you to co-brit to do that or if it was like a you know what?
Starting point is 00:49:25 I don't know if that strategy is best. He played today Strategy wise a lot more like I thought he would right? I mean you can hit hybrids and stuff off these teas get it running and play your game and still succeed on this golf course and he didn't have a great day what he make the cut on the number. Yeah shot even And he's playing with the gooch tomorrow. But yeah, I have nothing no where they'd happen. He would have had a pretty decent day, if not for that.
Starting point is 00:49:52 I think he made a double when he hit in that bunker on the green set on the hole in the back nine. He finished it plus one, I was hoping. Oh, he made a... He made Bogey. He made Bogey, yeah. I was hoping he was gonna play with the bullet. The bullet could give Bryce a little dose of perspective, I was hoping he was gonna play with the bullet The bullet could give give Bryson a little little dose of perspective, I think
Starting point is 00:50:08 To to physical specimens. How about that? Strieker segment this afternoon. Do you guys catch that? I caught the tail end of it. That was fun. Yeah Strieker was fun. It was it was really time, but it was a good segment Yeah, yeah, that's I think that's right. And I think streeters are fun. I think we need more streeters back in sports. I'm not disagreeing that we celebrate every time that it happens when you're already interrupting for a lot of commercials and you're going away to segments
Starting point is 00:50:36 that involve streeters, really just so Peter Jacobson can come in and tell his streeter story of tackling one. Jakes takes, baby. That's where I kind of have to draw the line. But there was a couple really, really cool camera shots. I want to point out from yesterday and today, there was one behind more Akawa, and they did it a couple times yesterday
Starting point is 00:50:54 and see it as much today, like super low shot. And then you could really see the impact and then see the ball against the sky. It's just something that they don't normally get that artsy in the sky. It's just something that they don't only get that artsy in the States, and then there was one of Dustin Johnson today, putting with the stands in the background, and you could really see the slope of the green. Like that was a...
Starting point is 00:51:15 And you could see all the people up on the hill and what not, and... That was cool. This golf course, it can look very, very boring from an aerial view, right? And there's a lot of towers out there. The more down to the ground level cameras you get of seeing some of the slopes are dealing with, it comes alive at least a little bit more
Starting point is 00:51:33 than it probably does from the higher ones. So I'm gonna, we're gonna get just destroyed by our Irish friends. We don't shout out Shamest Power, who's currently T2 in Northern Kentucky, in Lexington there at the Barba Soul. Shot 68 today, he's playing some of the best. I've just played in the world.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Shipman Carter says, will the final score be lower than minus 20? I'm gonna go with no on that. No, I think 16 will win. I'll go with I think 16's probably a playoff. I think 17 or 18 wins. Wow. How far back is too far back? It's time. Oh, I got a great answer. I feel really good about my answer. Okay. What is it? Go or do you want me to save it? Go ahead. I think anybody 600 or worse is too far back. So including the guys at 600. Including 600.
Starting point is 00:52:31 So it's a six man race. And some of that's just because the guys at 600, you don't believe it, exactly. Well, and more of the guys at seven and better. Okay, so you're basically ruling out Keppka at five, Ram at five, the tone at, they toned at four. I'd say four is too far back. I'll start at four.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Cause Ram could win this thing still. Yeah. I think tomorrow somebody could go out and shoot 63 tomorrow and be granted they'd have to back it up with a 65 or 66. But what's data golf saying as far as? Rob's winning percentage, as of right now is 4.8%, which is like, it's basically like what the third best guy comes in with to the tournament.
Starting point is 00:53:17 Data Golf also loves the shit out of Rob. A winning percentage for Louis, 34%. What does it say for Keppka? Keppka is 2.7% okay, but you got to remember that these are personally these models to like keep like track of your game throughout the whole year and Keppka the the models never really love Keppka that much because he just doesn't play nearly as good. More cow was 17% speed 12.4% DJ 7.3 Sheffler 5.6 Paul Paul Casey, of course, coming in at one point seven percent. That seems high
Starting point is 00:53:47 for tele one point five Grilo one three Smith and Finau one point zero Anything else What's going on in the US junior girls? Oh my gosh. They're in extra holes right now. Don't tell me Rose Rose is an extra hole Yeah, yeah, The Paul Moran. The Mexico. Wow. Crazy. Did not see. Let's see. Uh, man, that's not good. Rose won this morning five and four. Well, it might be. Well, it might be Miranda's plan, some exceptional golf. I got another good question that came from B. Demungo, which announcer will make the tone deaf? Grilo is inspired by fellow countryman
Starting point is 00:54:28 on hellkabura comment and why is it azinger? No. No comment. No comment. Yeah, I mean, I'm looking at Paul Moran. Oh, yeah, she's one of the university of Iowa, letter of intent. I mean, Rose isn't making bogies. I don't think she didn't make a single bogie in regulation.
Starting point is 00:54:57 She just like Miranda just beat her with birdies. So that's wild. And then it's just an absolute shootout in the land of Lincoln. Guys are going so deep in the capital, Illinois, and Springfield. And then I'm a little bit worried, Randy, the the Gitaeanigar and sisters, they were too over at the turn today. One over, are they playing an all shot today? Are they playing?
Starting point is 00:55:20 I'm going to assume it's all shot today. It's all shot. Yeah, today's all shot. Yeah, so they they birdied five and bogey'd six, eight, and nine, they've since gotten one back. But Lee six was leading for a little bit there. But yeah, tie, woman I've never heard of before and a deity Ashuk are currently leading.
Starting point is 00:55:40 We got a, we got a comment here from Pop's barrington says you guys need to do live between round pets for the draft king thing during major. So if we're looking at the live odds, are we still you're still sticking with speed. Plus 400 do we have 100 nuggies. Sure. All right. This is fake. This is not a hundred nuggies. I'm going 50 on speed.
Starting point is 00:56:03 At plus 400. Yeah. And then I'm going 50 on DJ. I Like I would I would follow you that's where the that's where the upside is I would follow you into that battle If DJ's plus 800 going to tomorrow. How about well, you can talk about Tyrell. Tyrell had a little had a day today. That was great Which one what did he say? It was fucking Bullocks. He flicked somebody off. Absolutely fucking Bullocks.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Yeah. It's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
Starting point is 00:56:36 it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
Starting point is 00:56:43 it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, of his clubs on the back nine, just full on snap, all caught on camera. A lot of club breaking day, leash. Do you get the leash story? How he broke his putter? No, no, I didn't. It's not like a leash thing. I know he did it on 10.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Well, I think he put it that bad on us today. And then first, first nine today, I just know he did it on 10. And then Matt, every toss this putter in a lake today. That's the part of us all. A lot of people out there need some CBD, man. We should just calm down. Which is great. So, head and sweet, man.
Starting point is 00:57:12 I'm a fan. Somebody pointed this out today, it was like very much, gosh, if Bryson had done any of this stuff, how much we would have just like railed on it, and it hadn't done this like, oh, look at him, that's fun. But it's like, you know, he's British, he's got an accent.
Starting point is 00:57:25 I know, it did work for me. He knows how to cuss well, he knows how to, for some reason it's funny when Tyrell does it. It's got flair. Yeah. Do British people love Tyrell too? Or is it like, I don't know. You see what I'm getting at there?
Starting point is 00:57:39 Like if you see him too often, are you sick of him? And we just think it's funny when he comes over and does this. When ready, you speak for all the the all the brits out there. What do you think? No, I speak power to the brits. I'm the only one telling it like it is. I have no idea. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:57:55 Very, I hadn't thought of it this way from Jack Warner because hadn't, isn't a fuck is a really great way of putting it. So British, oh, and a set of federal myself. Pop's barrington again. British bloke's hate tarot. Did not know that. Or I don't know if that's a popular, Randy, you going after the Brits is very off brand for you, being from Mary Maughan.
Starting point is 00:58:18 I know you guys are loyal to the Queen. You grew up in a very queen, queen-fearing household. Well, that's a world of Protestants here. I take no pleasure in doing it, TC. That's what you have to understand. It gives me absolutely no pleasure to do so. I just, it needed to be set. And so, it's my duty.
Starting point is 00:58:43 I said, if I do share a duty to people out there to just tell it like it is. I love this. It's like, I've got Luke Donald, Luke Donald, Scrake. He kind of escaped some earlier. He's a massive disgrace for never winning a major. The comments rolling through on Hatton just typify social media. No, they don't. Tiro is class And then then a very next one from Mike Hatton sucks. I wouldn't say he's class. Yeah, it's very
Starting point is 00:59:12 It's very polarized Bobbins like, you know, what the fuck does that mean? All right, I think I'm about wrapped Anything else guys? Oh, I shouldn't open that up because this is where TC adds like eight more things to it. So I'm actually good today. I'm going to vacation tomorrow. All right, safe trip.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Thank you. Flying with my four to half year old. So we'll see how that goes. He's gonna love it. So big. Have a wonderful Friday afternoon and evening. Out in Denver. Thanks everyone for tuning in.
