I'm going to be the right club today. Yes! That is better than most. That is better than most. Better than most. Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, for too many, many apologies to be made tonight. Big Randy is here. I'm guessing he's not gonna have a whole lot

he wants to apologize about. Oh guys, thank you so much for having me on. It's such an honor and thrilled to be here. Choose to you boys. Randy never put in cases on all you bitches tonight. Yes, we are. Got him fired up. What a great day of golf that was.

We're gonna be bringing in a special guest very shortly that hopefully we'll bring you down a little bit here here and there But we want to give a shout out to our friends at Yeti big shout out to them for sponsoring the show all week The hopper flip eight you can barely see it over DJ's shoulder there This is this is the go-to golf cooler fits very well in the back of a cart It's great beach cooler to I use this one to go to the beach We would never tell you to bring your own beers to a golf course We would never do that.

You can't do that. But if you were, this would hypothetically be a perfect cool. Or a public beach where beers are technically illegal. I don't say I brought beers and I just bring it to the beach. And it keeps them cold as hell. Or ice cold. Ice-coyote coaks.

It keeps this beer's been in there for three days. It's unbelievable. It keeps eight beers ice cold no matter how slow the course is playing. It fits perfectly in the back of that golf cart. They're smaller, super portable coolers. And we got a couple of them here at the Kiles that we're going to be using a lot. So head to Yeti.com to shop for the hoppers. But all right, what's the, what's, what's, what are we, what are we feeling?

What kind of emotions are we feeling right now? Relief mixed emotions mixed emotions right? I'm vacation Sure, I would say I'll start mixed emotions. I thought today was gonna be a big day for Rory I was obviously wrong about that I Thought that that Thursday round would have taken a lot out of him getting that monkey off his back and and we were due for a little bit of a Letdown on Friday, which we saw and I kind of thought he was going to

bounce back today. I know conditions were tough, but man, and even part-round would have looked a lot better than what we got. And same for JT, I think we said that this was going to be kind of an exam day for JT. We haven't really seen him in a really, really big spot in the majors in quite a while. And he had his chance today and kind of similar to Rory, just kind of stunk it up. It had a little bit of a bounce back, but you know, I'm sure my good friend T.C. is going to talk all about Cameron Young, that buoyed my spirits.

That was really fun to watch. And Mito was fun to watch too. So it didn't feel like JT failed the exam. He just, he had the multiple choice part first and he's got the essay part tomorrow, but he didn't do well in the multiple choice today. Yeah, and he's going to have to pretty much ace the, uh, the written part. Which he could. I think he had like a bunch of bees in a row and he's like, well, he can't be all of you, right?

So he changed a bunch of those and he changed all the wrong ones. It, uh, I don't even have, I don't know if we have time or night to go through all the things I thought would happen. But at the same time, I feel a lot better looking at this leaderboard and be like, all right, who the fuck predicted this? Because I don't think anybody could have seen any leaderboard that looked anything like this comment. I think we kind of were, I guess confused watching the golf today, just in how it, I know it's tough out there.

It just, it wasn't like adding up as to what exactly was especially tough about it. That is why we're going to bring in our special guests very shortly but Randy, do you wanna get anything out of the way here, any gloating in particular? No, no, no, I will refrain from any gloating. I will say about JT specifically, I do think we gotta grade him a little bit on a curve. Of course today wasn't great,

but his first two rounds were so good in that earlier wave. I mean, he honestly should probably be top five, if not, at five under total. He's not, which is the reality, but I don't view him in such a harsh light as I do. Somebody like Rory or many, many others. I think for me, I blown away by how well Mito Parera played.

I texted Tron earlier today. I was like, are we going to see the Jason Gore, like 83 today out of him? Tron said no. He said no, he's good of a ball striker. And now, and his puttings figured out. And he made some puts. Yeah, amazing. And then also a huge props to Maddie fits. Yeah, he's a guy. We've talked to talked about for seemingly forever

Cars are really good score. He seems to he seems to rise up the leaderboard So can I mean that's a guy playing lights out cough? So just something to point out was was back through the transcripts, reading some quotes yesterday. It was eerie that Tron and Rory McElroy both use the exact same quote yesterday saying someone was quote the ultimate professional end quote. One person was talking about Tiger Woods. And one person was talking about Matt Fitzpatrick and to Rory all I have to say is, you know,

scoreboard, right? Exactly. I mean, I think that says it all today, what we saw for Maddie Fitzpatrick. I mean, there's a reason why T.C.'s in the analyst chair and Rory's out on the golf course. I think that's stinking it up. That's no coincidence.

Speaking of the analyst chair. Speaking of the analyst chair, let's bring him in. We got our guest here, Smiley Kaufman, who's been doing feature group coverage for ESPN Plus. He was firing over takes to me all day today. I was like, okay, we need to have you on the show because we have some setup takes. We have some setup which is going to make TC really happy. But take us to, why did we see what we saw out there out of that golf course today?

That would gentlemen happy to join you boys. Well, first off guys, it was that North wind. Like, I know it was kind of tough to tell how hard it was actually blowing. It was cold and it was blowing and the course set up at times was a little questionable, but there were certain holes that were just so hard today. I don't think people realized how hard some of the pin locations were and some of the of the T boxes they use or didn't use Yeah, that's you should see me dude like my my feet just got warm and I left the golf course at noon Like it was cold is it it if the course was set up for like a 75 degree day like it was today would it have played totally different?

Yeah, I mean I'm not just saying the wind though like it was today, would it have played totally different? Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm not just saying the wind though. I'm saying like it felt like the ball not flying the that adjustment for almost seems like you're saying they did not adjust enough for how far the ball would not be flying today. So the big thing like so the rough was wet the entire day. So you're not getting jumpers out of the rough. Like the ball now, like you were, it was like a 20-yard jump yesterday out of the rough. Now today, like you couldn't even get it to the front of the green with a five-iron. Like if you're

in the rough. That's just a totally different like experience. Like now when you're out of play, like in the rough, like you got to get lucky, like some of the guys were able to get it on the green, like if they got good lies, but like if they were that wet rough, like with long arms, I don't think I saw very many guys like way in the ball on the green and keep it there, like everything went in short of the green and bounced up.

What was the, like the greens themselves, where they more, like they seemed a little bit quicker today just because they moat them, but like, like I know it rained like crazy overnight like what's the as far as the firmness and the quickness of the greens stack those up. It's like it just seem like it's this into me like some guys like a really upset with how the rolling like I just see a lot of people just not like excited about like ball marks or something like that. It just seems like a lot of guys have not enjoyed the greens that much from what I could tell. And the firmness, like it's been kind of inconsistent, like I just like sometimes like wedges spin a time and the other times

like they don't spin. I get a little confused. I expect balls to come back. And then today, I saw multiple balls spin back into bunker on 10. Or early in the week, balls were not spinning on 10. I was pretty confused watching that at times, but I'm not sure if that answers your question about the greens. But they look good from where I'm. My vantage point is, but constantly, I just see guys like tapping down things. I don't know what they're tapping down, but they seem not to be happy about something.

I never know what they're doing. Hey, gentlemen, just coming in real quick with some breaking news, Tiger, just WD as well. The scene, seeing that rolling through in the comments as well. Well, we'll talk about the cat here. Cat here shortly. Thank you. producer Cody, but honestly, that's best case scenario.

I did not want to go with tiger tomorrow morning. That would have been first week nightmare as an announcer. What is it like being an answer that haven't been a player for a long time? What is it like going out there? Is it a little harder than you thought it might be? No, it's a little easier now. Damn it.

Like, well, it's tough to get the flow sometimes, but we had the same group the entire time. So you kind of get, you figure it out, and like, you make a mistake or talk over somebody over five hours, you like, it's fine. Like, but on CBS, I got to totally different deal. Like, they got to kind of nail it. It's been fun though.

Who was in your group today and did anything go down with this? One of the people in your group after the round? Well, I had Pat in Hadecki and then I guess you sent me the Patent. What was it? It's the great, but it's a great story. What was it? It was like pitiful golf, what a pitiful setting. I think Cody's putting up on the screen there. Yeah. Pitiful golf on a pitiful setup on I think Cody's putting up on the screen there. Yeah. Pitiful golf on a pitiful set up on an overrated golf course. That's a triple. Which is a good triple threat.

Is there anything? There had to be a moment smiley when you were out there that would have triggered this comment. It was this morning, right? It was the tour. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. All right. So the best moment of the day was he hit it left on T on 12, like just a little left. And like just wasn't able to go to the green kind of a similar spot That like Jordan was in yeah, except Jordan decided to like punch underneath the tree to get try to get on the degree Did that were you skipping through the water? I think it must have hit a rock is like I don't know how that skipped through the water But classic Jordan it's not shocking But like pattern was in the same spot and all he had to do was just chip it out in

the fairway, just to hit it on the green. And he left it like short in the rough on the chip out. You know, like 50 yards of like fairway to work with and like not a bad line, like no trees or anything. What are we just chipping it like 50 yards? And he left it short in the rough. And I thought he was going to lose his mind. And then the next seven holes, something happened. Like it was like a plug to Y or just like something on the green, something that happened like on a chip. It was always something the rest of the round. But the course setup though, there was some bad course setup. Holds it a Number six was a trotious. Why is that?

Six is what the par three, right? The par three. We're roaring for a fell for the first time. It was awful today. I mean, it was, we check my notes, but it was like 218, it looks like today. 218. Okay.

So yesterday, that 218, they were trying to play it about 205 to the front of the green is where they're trying to land it. And then it was playing probably 185 to 180 downwind. So they're maybe hitting 870s today. Like, would you say 218? 288. It was playing about 240 yards today, if you wanted to hit it on the green.

And from an elevated tee shot into a North wind, blowing 15 miles an hour to, like, gusting up to 25, like, what are we doing? Smiley, it sounds like they were asking a very specific question of the players. And I'm sorry if you know these guys just can't answer some of the players. And I'm sorry if, you know, these guys just can't answer some of these questions. This is why you're here. My issue is, even if they did want to move the tee up, there's not even a tee box to move it up to,

because the tee is on a three, is like that's where you would move it to. So it's just a logistical nightmare so they have to play that T-bots because the T on three is right there. So it's just kind of a mess. Is that why they've, like, I was expecting a lot more like dynamic part threes.

Like, that's been the biggest bummer for me all week is I feel like they're three out of the four part threes are like 200 plus and they just, it's like's not fun to watch, which especially I haven't been there, but based on what everybody said, a golf course where the greens are so outrageously sloping and it seems like you could kind of fit in one of those, you know, short part threes with it with a really dicey pin location or something like. Or like mix up the angle day to day. Yeah, you know, yeah, I think it's what you say, though, is that you can. It's just not sponsored.

Six is the, I think that some of the other holds you could move tees in different spots and play it a little differently. For what it's worth, six, number one hardest hole today played just over about six tenths of a stroke over par. There were five birdies though, so Randy, to your question, if we're grading on a curve, there were five guys that got up and down. I want to give special shout outs to both John Rom and Tony Fienel for missing the So Randy, to your question, if we're grading on a curve, there were five guys that got up and down. I want to give special shout outs to both John Rom and Tony Fienel for missing the creek

left. And Kevin Streelman did as well, but these guys hit shots that were so bad that they missed the creek left, which was the pin though. Maybe setting up a mega. Yeah, it was pin was far left. It was not the bad angle over there. All right. So if my issue, if the pin would have been in the front or the middle part of the green,

it would have been totally fine today. But because they talked to pin location, the back left part of the green, there's nothing you could do. Like all you could do is just, what do we just whack it over there to the right? And this is where Randy says that everybody's playing the same golf course. Yeah, I raised my ass. Of course, this is sick. I haven't heard one, this is sick.

I haven't heard one thing you said that. That sounds like I'm super sorry for the players. I had to go through that. Oh my god. What other holes? It's just, it's just like a, a course set up thing. So I thought they've used like the same pin a lot of times. Like number eight, we have not seen like a right pin yet on number eight

the par three I thought it would have been a great spot today with that left to right win to use the right side of that green and they used a back left hole occasion again and you couldn't get close to that hole. They're sending up for patch of green. They did read someone in there. No that's his whole thing was the tour was setting up all those all those back right pins to set it up against him. They're they're trying to balance the scales, man. And he got the good wave this week. Exactly. Exactly. They're trying to get some carbon. The bag with team read. I will say not that I'm surprised by this, but every time you I pull up a, you know, the the shot chart from what your comments, the pins have been like in very, very, very similar spots on number eight all middle to back left all three days.

All right. What else? What other holds? So that another part three that other short one number 11. Yeah. That was probably a really good challenging part three today. It was like a hundred like kind of a short part three that you were talking about. part three today was like a hundred, like kind of a short part three that you were talking about. It's like a hundred sixty yards, but it was in off the left and they used the front left hole location. I kind of would have liked the, like, there's just, like, it's such a hard little shot from an elevated tee into the wind. Only six birdies there. And it was playing about 168 yards. I get what you're saying. And that once we turn over to the weekend, and I get what you're saying

as well, Randy, like, this is a question, like, this is a hard shot, go do it. But if all of them are hard, we might end up with a day that looked a lot like today where the golf wasn't that exciting, if I may say. Is that fair, Smiley? Yeah, and in 16, like, 16 was a monster. So 16, there's a swale that runs between there all the way to 13, the part five.

So I don't know if you're able to like to draw him like the connection between those two things, but all the drive for the most part from what I saw were going in that swale, which was about 200, like 30 to 245 yards to the whole today. And you can't see, really see the hole location. All you can see is that big bunker that's right in front of you and then like a big bunch of trees that sit like and then there's a pond like you can't see anything and guys are hitting three wood today and like just not seeing anything and the ball like pens lie with so far uphill like it was it was literally like a grade like this.

And he's hitting three would offer this slope up into the wind from like two out of 40 yards away in the rain. I'm just like, there's just nothing you can do here. Like the team needed to be up today on that whole. Cause like, we see it brings in that bunker. I like when that bunker's in play on that whole. What, what have you thought, Smile? You've seen it now.

You've been out there all week I assume and and clearly seen it in like a bunch of different wins a bunch of different Weathers What what have you seen or what have you kind of thought of the golf course like on the whole? I know today was was brutally difficult, but what have you kind of thought on the macro level for the week? It plays really fun with that South wind the first two days I really enjoyed like watching the guys play in that South wind. I didn't have very many issues with the golf course in that win Especially when it's hot like but just today like I just I don't think they realize how hard it was gonna play

And I just don't think they set up the course like for that Like they could have made it just a little bit more fun for the players Like it just was a miserable day. Out of no idea how well it's been shot 65 today. I saw him hold out when we were on 16 when he was on 13. I saw him hold out. So obviously he picked up two there. But I know I see.

I see Randy laughing and I know it's because when you say it should have been more fun for the players. He's not going to agree with that. But I see what you're saying, but I would have finished that with more fun for the fans as well. I think if there was just a little bit more offense, they moved up to T13 and 17 were moved up, but 17 was really fun. And that's kind of what I thought that they were going to trend towards. And I'm guessing after today, you know, for tomorrow, I said there'd be offense this weekend

there wasn't today, but I'm guessing tomorrow has to be. Well, I want to ask, Randy, did before you get your pot shots in here, did you have a fun time watching the golf today? Because it largely stunk. What do you, okay, so I guess my, I will answer your question with a question. Like why, in your opinion, why did it sting?

Because Rory played bad. I thought it was a little, I mean, I thought coverage was tough. Oh, yeah, just commercial, commercial, commercial. It got, it was a little, I mean, I thought coverage was tough. Yeah, just commercial commercial commercial. It seems to be the PGA. It got a little more, a little more juice when the back nine was. Yeah, when we got down to like kind of 14, right about the time you woke up from your nap, probably Randy, 13, 14, 15 when the leaders got to there. I thought it was, it was pretty fun. Randy snowed in out there. I know. He's

going to be like the guy from the shining in there. I mean, I'm looking at the top of the leaderboard. I'm seeing, you know, Shamest Power 67, answer 70, Cam Young 67, Matt Fitzpatrick 67, Mito Pereira 69. I mean, I honestly think it was like, you just got to play really well. And let's see who play really well in conditions. And I think that's enjoyable because so much of the calendar, the pro golf is how many

birdies can you make and that's the name of the game. And so days like this, I really do enjoy it. Legitimately, it's not, I mean, yes, some of it's a bit, but it's also like, I want to see who can execute in really difficult situation. Adverse circumstances. I just, I'm the same one. I just want to see who can execute in really difficult situation. Adverse circumstances. I'm the same way. I just want to see Roy. That's where we live.

He's got a little dog in him. No, I'm with you. It's a bit of a bit for sure. But it is cool, kind of like what I was asking smiley earlier, but we don't always get this, but it is fun to see a championship play in a bunch of different conditions as well. Right?

When you have hot and windy, when you have cold and cold and windy and then tomorrow should be a little different too. It's fun when it becomes a very comprehensive exam. What do you, when you look at this leaderboard smiley, what's your reaction to it? I mean, are you as, maybe confused as some of us are here? Does it make sense to you? It actually does.

Like the leaderboard makes a whole lot of sense. Like, run down the top five for me. So it's me. Meadows at minus nine, Fitzpatrick and Zalatoris are at six. Cameron Young at five, answer at four, and then Sheamus power at three, then we have Stu Sink, JT, and Bubba at minus two. And they're like just pure iron players, right?

Yeah, I mean, answers the guy that puts the ball in play consistently. Cameron Young just doesn't miss the middle of the face. I'll watch Bill Will's Alex horse on Thursday, and I just couldn't have been more impressed. Like, dude, he made everything. I know there's like this, like everybody thinks his putting stroke is a worse thing in the world, but like, dude, he made so many damn puts. Like, it was insane.

And the putz that he did miss from short puts like it was insane. And the putz that he did miss from short, like he just he missed red one and then one of them was a little sketch but like still such an impressive player. Dude, Matt Fitzpatrick is born in that stuff. Like I've got something with a shock you think in the world. And then me, you know, on the range this week

on Thursday, would he have been Thursday morning? He was in the good way. Yes, Yeah. Yeah. So I was in their washroom warm up and I was thinking to myself, I was like, man, like, I could see like a guy like that winning this week. But like, I'm thinking ahead, like, you need to tell somebody that before. It's like, you're just going to believe you. You're like, try. I didn't. No, I do tell people that's that's these guys get on me smiley because I'm always pepper. No, I do tell people. That's, that's, these guys get on me smiley

because I'm always pepper in the board. I, listen, I've got, I've got a 80 to one play on freaking Cameron Young. I knew I shouldn't have said anything. 30 on Cameron Young at 80 to one. I knew I should have said. So we got to action. Exactly, exactly.

All right, a couple questions on set up for tomorrow. Do you think they leave 17? You think they leave it like that 29300 number? Man, how fun was that today watching? Awesome. Like it was so much better there. They have to keep that. I hope they keep it there.

Especially with how brutal 16 and 18 both are, too. You know, like it's all extended. Yeah, so they're gonna use a front right pin there to mod 17 most likely. And that's like the one most guys were thinking they were gonna use. I don't think they thought they're gonna use a front right pin there to mod 17 most likely and that's like the one most guys were thinking They were gonna use I don't think they thought they're gonna use this back right pin For the upt but if they move that for right pin makes it a little even more challenging I think in the back right one. What do you think of Mito playing up there?

Do you lay up? Yeah, he was the only guy in the entire field He made four. Yeah. I don't hate it. It seems like that front right pin would be way more conducive to laying up, right? And a little more comfy with the wedge rather than trying to get a wedge all the way back there and just kind of throw it 10 feet behind and be nice and comfy. It just depends how much downwind there is.

You know, like if there's, if it's a ton downwind, a front pin would be like the best thing to lay out for because like just a pent-up like right and you can get on it A lot of those lies have been kind of downhill hanging lies on 17 Which makes that first bounce a little big and then probably not gonna get as much spin like you do like on number 10 The balls a little more above your feet like you get it down there And like a little bit more uphill, which promotes a little bit more of a you know, it got a and like a little bit more uphill which promotes a little bit more of a, you know, got to hit a little harder a little bit more spin. So I like that setup. I mean, I think it'd be sick if they did that. I think number five though, I really hope that they moved the T up on number five. I didn't like that everybody played that as a three shot hold today. I think that's such a great part five, and especially that panel location today for a three shot hole is pretty bad.

Like they use two left pins in the south wind where I thought they could have used that pin that we had today. Like I thought that would've been a great pin for yesterday. I just thought they kinda screwed up a little bit, but I don't ever talk about core setup for like walking the grounds and stuff. Like I just had an issue with some things. Like I know we don't care. Don't look, but like when you're out there, you're like,

yeah, it's fun. It's fun, right? Yeah. What's a fun box? What's up to this side of the table? What's the Sunday pen on 18? Oh, no, because because seemingly it's been in the same, it's been the same spot two days in a row. There. Yeah, it's been back every day. There, there is a, I mean, there is a place to put a pin in the, in the front part of this green. I don't know if they're going to use that ice. I'm so so sick. I assume it's a pinable elevation on the front, but they haven't used it. Yeah, everything's been in the back. They went front right on, I

guess, like middle right, if you're coming from the fairway. Yeah, I actually, yeah, I guess it, like, sorry, the graphic is a little misleading. They're kind of back-ish middle, right, and then back middle, and then back left-ish. That's such a sweet hole, yeah. Yeah, they haven't used a front left or front middle pin, which would be pretty cool if they used a front middle pin because that false front would be very active.

They kind of had a big landing area with that back pin. So it just makes all the contact and it kind of just kills it into that with that back then. So it just been like makes all the contact and he kind of just kills it into that hill. But deep there is no good. So, smile, we have breaking news. Alex Higgs, who Caddy's of course for Harry Higgs, says back every day, green stinks. He's in the comments.

Green stinks? I don't know how to read that. If he's saying the green stink, or if he's saying back green stink. He's chirping. He's chirping. He's chirping Gil Hans, he's chirping, carry a head. Everybody had notice.

Randy, you were gonna say. So he's, it won't be a back, like he said, it'll be a back in the moral. He said it's been back every day. I think he was correcting me as he was trying to say it was. Randy, what were you gonna ask? I was gonna ask Smiley, obviously, the top of this leaderboard, a lot of guys trying to win their first major. A number of them trying to win their first PGA tour event.

What are they going through tonight, tomorrow, in the morning, during range session, and any perspective into who you think might handle that situation better than other people. And for the listeners that don't know, you've done this. You were in this final group of the master. Well, that's what I'm good. I want to know specifically what you did on that Saturday night. Also, what that was like. Yeah, I mean, I guess I didn't handle it very well when I did it. But for these guys, I just think Will is out to us like the entire week.

It's been in such a great frame of mind. You can just see it in his emotions. He just isn't like, he made four bogeys early in the round, but it just didn't seem like he was too flustered. I think he's in a good space. I think he's a guy that can put some heat tomorrow. I think it's still going to play hard tomorrow. Like, I think it's going to play very hard with that North wind.

I think it's going to be blowing 15 to 20. So I mean, I think you got a win on all the ball shrekers and guys that put it in play and all of them seem to do that. So I think we're going to have a pretty like, I think we're going to have a pretty good Sunday. Like, I don't think the number's going to be somewhere around seven under in less meter just decides to go win the golf tournament. Who is your pick?

This is your last question we'll let you out of here. I knew you all are going to do this today. I'm going to ride Willie Z. Just because in that, but you can always assume that if Jordan JT or Rick are playing, you assume that I always pick them mentally. So when people say, oh, you don't like your boy JT, you always pick. They're always my pick. But like outside of those three, give me Willie Z.

Okay. Now you're definitely sound like Tron. I was going to say you're a good company today. Well, let you go. Thank you for calling in, man. This was a lot of fun.

He might be the wave god. The wave god. Shout out to Will Wilcoff. Uh, yeah. This is like the most boring take as you know, but like On the list of like man, I should have picked that guy Mathets Patrick Cameron young really jumping off the page. What the fuck was I thinking man? It's gonna be windy and hard and proper golfing of course fits Patrick's gonna play well

I took fits out of every lineup because of he was in the hard way I went strictly for lineups. I took fits out of every lineup because of he was in the hard way. I went strictly for lineups. I went only out of you. You capitulated. I did. I did. I did. I capitulated for sure. Fits like fits is awesome. And he just he's such a freaking pro. But all crazy. He's the ultimate pro.

And he's getting better. Like he's gotten he's gained distance. He just does. He he works on the shitty needs to work on. He's turned weakness into strength. And he's just he's raising his floor every. Having said that, would love to see a win. Yeah.

Would love to see a win. Listen, he's won some big dick European tour events. Sure. The RAWs, how come I open? I'm sure they've been. Classic. Classic. We did, we did not have him heavily featured

in our picks leading up to this, but we have been, we've been monitoring the situation as it comes to, the swing changes he made this off season. How well those have taken and how well he's played this year. He's playing the best golf of his life come into this. So, and he just signed with sketchers. So he's, you know, he's he's he's got to be feeling good going in tomorrow. He can he can play another 36. That. Randy, do you want to do your Rory bit? It's not a bit. Yeah, it's not a bit. It's not a bit. Randy, I was right there with you on Thursday night. These guys were trying to, you know, back you in the corner and dog, and dog you, you've stuck with it.

I was in the comments writing for you as well. And you know what? And then these guys wanted to crown him yesterday after, oh, you know, he's going to be fine. No, he's not. Like the fucking cat beat him yesterday. Yesterday was very, very bad. I mean, to shoot what he shot when the wind died. And I apologize last night.

Brandy, I banished ship last night. No, that's great. I mean, I think honestly, where my honest opinion and I'll credit our guy, Desert Duffer, helped seal this take for me. It's like, do that, that rory of 2010 to 2014? Like, it's a ghost, man. Like, I don't think he's coming back.

And it's like, it's fun to, you know, he plays well one round and everybody gets their hopes up, but it's fun, you know, he plays well one round and everybody gets their hopes up, but it's not, it ain't happening in my opinion. Um, I mean, that was the crazy thing about today. Before, but it's just, it's not there. Can I? It was like today was a microcosm of what we're seeing round to round in term of the tournament. Quickly, Porter got me maybe a year or two ago when he just said like He's just another guy until he proves otherwise. He's just another guy and that that has been what I've followed going into every tournament Did I did I get excited Thursday? I did I got caught up in the moment. Do I regret it? Absolutely not. I'm trying I'm here to have fun

he Apart from the part three which as long as you apologize. Yeah, problems there. No issues. And that's where I'll say, listen, I couldn't have got it more wrong today, you know, hand up, just really, really whipped on that forecast today. Not on JT, I kind of called that one, but I whipped on, I whipped on Rory. I will say this, I will say this,

he drove it fucking really good today and he hit it pretty good. The double on the part three, and then I don't even know what the hell happened with the triple on the par three. That's five shots that added up really quick. Yeah, if you take those two holes out, you should just see what I'm saying. What I'm saying, he lost four shots putting and chaff four over. That was a special three put on eight. That's what I'm saying. So when you go back to that ghost, he's a ghost, he's not there, he's not there, he's like,

he's putting like shit. And the putting, I think, can come back. Like that feels like something that's much, like if he was driving it horrible, I would be a lot more with you. You know, and that's where I'm not like, I'm not writing him off because it's like, dude, he was fifth off the tee today

and 16th approaching the greens. And he lost all four strokes that he was above part, he lost on the greens. And like, he just didn't, didn't make much. So I know four strokes that he was above part, right? He lost on the Greens. And like, he just didn't, didn't make much. So I know that's an ass and I'm taking, I watched the same round today, but like, he did hit a lot of good shots, and I don't think the guy is, he's not dead, dead, dead.

A lot of the things that make him Rory are driving it well and hitting his iron's great. And that stuff is still kind of there. So I'm not gonna ban and ship completely. I obviously will for this week, but it was, you know, I'm still interested in Brookline. It was just such a microcosm. Like he parsed the first five holes.

Everybody's like, oh my God, like he's just chugging right along. And then was anybody like, oh my God, he's making five straight parts? I was like, I was doing that for sure. And then was anybody like, oh my god, he's making fast straight bars? I was like, I was doing that for it. Oh, for sure. And then he doubles six, he hits it just an ass iron on six. And then seven, you know, just kind of misses the left

with the drive, goes right with the second shot. And then eight, three puts eight, terrible, three put on eight. And then 90 birdies and everybody's like, oh my god, we're coming back. We're coming back parse 10 Triples 11 and then and then everybody's like, oh my god. He's dead. He's dead and then birdies 13 14 16 Because he was hitting a good still that's what I'm saying is he had like two awful swings on the par three

Yes, and he put it like shit. Yes. That is not like, that's a very, very small amount of the golf round. And yes, it adds up to a horrible score and it shot him out of it. I get that he didn't show up when he should have showed up, but I'm kind of getting a lot of the same whiffs I got with speed here, which is like, if you guys want to totally ride him off

and you want to totally cash your chips in, then cash him in. But TC at the beginning of the week is, oh my God, I'm so tempted by the rib, but I didn't take it. I'm so, I didn't take it. I'm so glad. I didn't take it. I'm so, this is so captivating. What the rib is doing.

And you can't be a bitch about this. No, I said that. I said that. Hold on. Push your chips in or pull your chips in. I said that on the bring on the board. I said, I'm tempted. I'm hearing provocative things about the rib.

Provocative, like six under three six, and it in cups and practice rounds rounds and somehow you heard that on Monday It was Chip on his chip on his shoulder Cups. Yeah, exactly and then I basically You know, I saw what he did on Thursday and it felt fluffy as hell. And I didn't, I, A, I didn't, yeah, A, I didn't pick him. When he told me the solar lead.

Yeah, it felt fluffy as hell and I said, I don't think this is real guys. Said that on Thursday night and then Friday, him out and I was like, yo, I don't, yesterday was all labored too. And today was like, it was more of the same bullshit. What I'm saying is there's some broad proclamations of this guy's dead, he's a ghost,

that guy's not coming back. And Randy, you've made your position clear, that's fine. But I'm not riding with the fence-citters here. It's not a come-and-go. It's, I'm still staying in on him and that's what I'm- You more bullish on speed or rory moving forward. Honestly, rory. And that's what I'm saying is that a lot of the shit is the same stuff we said about spieth.

Where it's like, oh, this guy's dead. He's in the wilderness. It's like, yo, if you don't think he's coming back, say he's not coming back. My official stance, I don't feel that way. My official stance. I say the big difference. Sorry. Go ahead, Tully.

I'll say my official stance, again, I said, I'm not going to try to predict the comeback. Is no comment. But he will win, he will, Tully. I'll say my official stance, again, I said, I'm not gonna try to predict the comeback, is no comment. But he will win another major. Yes, I think so too, but I don't think he's some generational player anymore. That's where I'm at. I'm just, it's, you know, this is a very leave-bwritten alone take,

but it's very fun to dunk on Rory when he does this stuff. I don't think he's, you know, he gets dunked on because he's Rory, because he's done so much like provocative shit in the past. So I'm just, I'm just, he just can't get out of his own way. That's true.

Like it's in there, where it was, it was check it out, where it was, it was spieth, it's like, with spieth, it's like, yo, the shit is there. Like he just has a fatal flaw right now with the putting. Whereas with Rory, it's like, it's always something different. Sometimes the wedges suck. Sometimes it's putting. I think Rory's playing whack him all. Porter. I will also say we were concerned while speed was at the high of his powers. We were concerned speed. Exactly. I mean, he's been a guy that's always given off stinky vibes. He's also the best player in the world.

More concerned for Rory, right. But Rory just doesn't have that. He's not gritty. He's not going to grind. I just have never seen that out of him. He, Porter said it well on Twitter too, is like, all right, you got the good wave. And look at the guys on the leaderboard ahead of you going into today. Like if you're not going to do it now, like when are you going to do it? Because like you look back at the at I know it's different and it's butterfly effect and it's not how golf works. But like he got beat by one guy who had a unfucking believable run through golf

this spring. Like in that guy was not playing professional golf in 2014 when Roy was really good. So like in a different universe where Scotty Schuffler doesn doesn't come through, Roy maybe wins the Masters this year, right? So in this landscape where the competition has changed since 2014, greatly I would say, it is going to be only going to get harder and harder and harder and his whatever you want to call it, 10%, 15% regression, like back to the norm, like back from what is really, really good golf is, he's never going to win one until he just has one of those outlier weeks again. Yeah. I mean, I, like, I totally think, like, I, I think he's going to win a Masters 100

percent, but I just don't, what I struggle with is like the expectations for Rory are higher than winning one more major for the talent level and what he flashed and all that. And it's like the quality of his swing and his, I just don't get it, it doesn't add up. Yeah. I wouldn't even be so sure he's gonna like for sure win a master's. I mean, I don't know what I'm. We talk about this while you were not here today. You like always betting on somebody to not win is the is the best place

To miss and that brings me to my next point. I would love for you to stake a claim to somebody big You can't just be that guy sucks guy you I need I need some positivity. Who's going to do it? It's of course 155 guys don't win every week is it's you know That's a lot easier side to be on and then when Scotty wins you're not impressed by it exactly you know, that's a lot easier side to be on. And then when Scotty wins, you're not impressed by it. Exactly. Yeah, that's true. No, I wasn't. I mean, what do you guys want from me? I'm calling them like I see you stick your fucking. I mean, I need to carry a loan. I will say this. I was very alone on my Rory block years ago.

You guys were making fun of me. He was making fun of you. Also, you didn't have a lot of company there. It golf's hard. I think that's the point is like, I think we just tend to overrate all of these guys in that one win equals, he's gonna win five or six made. I think that's what's hammering home is like,

no, it's super hard. And I don't see a ton of like generational talents. Like the young Tiger Woods is not walking through that door. So I mean, I don't want to just hop on somebody's bandwagon to hop on somebody's bandwagon. I want there to be legitimate cause. I will say Thursday night I said I was disappointed in three guys. Speed for more Akawa and I forget the third because I thought they were legitimately guys that could win the tournament.

Like I think Kalamore Akawa is a really good player. Now I'm having to maybe diagnose, he can't play in condition, tough. And he might not be the best player. He might have little hands like Kenny Piccadre, Teddy Bridgewell, Parker. You can't grip the ball. I also truly think kind of everybody does stink.

I'm not overly impressed with anybody. I really enjoyed your Eli Cash tweet. I thought that was really nice. If everyone stinks, what did you think of golf in like 2007? Well, that's kind of what he was alluding to. A dude. Yeah, there were like three guys that didn't stink. They were like super good.

Or everyone really stunk. So the three guys looked way better than that. But now there's like 18 guys that are around that level. What was the J.J. Reticlite? They're putting its plumbers in fire. What do you all. Why that? I don't know.

I just finished second. It's Southern Hills in 07. That's the debate. I mean, well, Randy, I don't know. I think the interesting thing is when you bring up, because I'm with you on this block of like, these guys are great at playing when there's not a whole lot of variables going on.

And then as soon as you add in some moisture or some cold or some wind or a little bit of all three, see that's where, like, that's where I thought JT would handle it today really well because he handled the shit and it has handled the shit. As his career has gone on, he has handled the shit way better. Totally agree. He used to be. That's what I give him a little bit of a pass today. It's like, gone on, he has handled the shit way better. Totally agree. He used to be.

That's what I gave him a little bit of a pass today. It's like, dude, that's what we were saying last night. He had to be fucking gassed coming into today. And I know it was a late T-time and he had rest and stuff, but just like mentally coming from that other way of which to your point, I think makes it even more impressive what Fitzpatrick has done, right? It's coming from that same wave.

But I'm fascinated to see what JT does, especially if they set it up for some birdies and stuff and give him a chance to like get out and run. All I'm saying is I just struggle sometimes with like some of these guys, they're running downhill and they're playing offense. And then as soon as they have to play a little bit of defense and have to try to get the ball on the whole, I don't think they get a whole lot of practice with that anymore, right? Hit a fairway when you have to.

Yeah, right. Make a par when you have to. That was actually, I was actually impressed with Mito, like on, like that drive he hit on 18. It was provocative. It was sick. Where it was like, hey man, like that's like a homemade swing right there that you just, just try to get the ball

on the ground as soon as possible. I think he carried it 215 to 20 and hit it, you know, just a bullet down that side and it was sick. I'm going to go with Bet with jazz. We'll get to this on the other side of this break here. Can we talk about TC's beef with SVP? We'll get to that here in a second. But bird dogs, bird dogs have completely changed the game.

We're wearing them here. It's kind of hard to get this in the shots. I don't know if we can do that exactly. DJ's rocking the joggers, shorts, pants, and joggers made from the finest, high quality material come with built-in liners. It is the most comfortable. I actually look forward to flying now where the 100% of the time when I fly,

I wore them when whatever to Scotland. The built-in liners is massive. My dryer's broken right now. So I'm trying to really conserve laundry. So you can imagine how much that's been held. So you're free-balling within the bird dogs. Well, yeah, that's a very personal question, but yeah, they got the liner. So you built it. I that's been held. You're free-balling within the bird dogs. That's a very personal question, but yeah, they got the liner.

So you don't, don't, don't, I don't, because I wear the diaper on. I wear them so much that like, I can't, I can't have my wife doing that much, the laundry, that frequently, right? It's, I have to keep, I have to keep them fresh. I can, you can get like five wears out of them if you put, if you wear underwear.

Sure. So if you want to, Or you can just wash them. Well, yeah, if you wear them every day though, that's a lot of laundry. It is a great time to upgrade your shorts or your pants to the shorts and pants of the future. So go to birddogs.com. It's the Dippin' Dots.

God, I freaking love dip and dots. That's the only reason I like going to a baseball game. I eat. Yeah, a lot of baseball. We'll take this off a lot of the trap show. A lot of baseball dudes to talk about for today. Uh, you guys want to, want to congratulate me on me to cc nobody was on this block earlier that you've been

uh... the guy who got a battlefield promotion for the court fairytale i can't believe you i did not get about a why is it making saying this he was really close to us lost it in a he lost in a playoff to get the battlefield promotion i could be by the way i was thinking about you this morning when i went for a walk we're talking about battlefield promotion whether I Cody, by the way, I was thinking about you this morning when I went for a walk. We were talking about battlefield promotion, whether that's stolen valor.

Last night I saw a doubted, uh, dancing in the streets in Atlantic Beach. There was the smoke meat militia was out there. So I was taking some offense to that on your behalf as well. On the issue of stolen valor. On the 20 to 21, Corn Ferry Tour, one the country club did Bogota Championship in February 2020. And with back-to-back victories at the Rex Hospital open and BMW charity pro I'm in June 2021. He earned an instant promotion to the PGA tour

That's huge of truth. Will you apologize? Yeah, I'll apologize. I sorry. I you know what I couldn't hype the guy enough I can't believe you idea as the player to win. I lost so much money on him this year. I've bet on him on your recommendation. Yeah, so many. I told you this was coming though. No, I know. Believe it.

My thing, God, if you guys are following my picks on draft Kings, give me like a two week buffer and you would be absolutely cleaning up. Go watch the videos from two weeks ago. Bet on those guys. Oh my God. Randy, all day we were calling him the movement. The me to move it. I'm gonna take that off, wide too.

Mito was impressive, man. I, you know, hand up, I'll let you know, Paul G here, watching his, his approach shot. First of all, amazing drive on one, amazing club tour, just looked like a lot of club tour. So comfortable, striped it right in the middle of that fairway, and then just hit like a really clanky block into the, into that front right bunker.

It's like, oh my god, this guy's gonna shoot a million. And he looked great. He had a little rough stretch, which I can't imagine. You know, I'm sure obviously smiley could speak to this playing pro golf, but when you are in the lead, and you have that like really rough stretch in the middle. In the middle of the round.

Like I don't know how, God, I don't know how that doesn't just like rattle you to your core. And so massive credit to him for, for stedding the ship. And then that birdie on 18, like you said, manufacturing and, you know, getting the runner over on off the tee and then just hitting a really proper iron shot and burying the putt. It was fun to watch.

It was awesome. Like watching, like seeing guys like, I mean, Bob, I mean, Bob having Bubba having 247 into a par four. That's sick. Yeah. It's straight up. I thought he was toast when he bogeyed four out of five. I thought it was like, okay, like,

I'm not saying I'm rooting against him. I just wanted something exciting to happen. I'm like, all right, we're gonna have a bunch of dudes within like four shots of the lead starting tomorrow. Maybe I can convince myself into Rory or something like that. And then he went out and birdied three to last five and didn't birdie 17. That was the whole that everyone was getting

to go out and get it. So I'll ask it, does he close the deal out tomorrow? I don't think he does. I think I'm gonna stick with my pick from last night. I think Cameron Young gets it done. You predicted Cammy on the show last night to win the tournament. I said he did. I said, Jokey and he knows Jokey.

You know he's claiming that. No, you guys are. You got the camera. Yo, I said, I think I think if JT doesn't win, I think Cameron Young's going to win. He was like nine back last night. Oh, he was, no, he was two under last night going into. So you said it back. Correct.

No, yes, six back. Does Bdowen, DJ? Ah, I'm gonna say, I don't, I don't want to clown him. Like I don't think he's gonna fall apart. Like I do think, I mean, smiley said it too, like the guys that are ball strikers, like you don't just, that doesn't disappear, right? And it's, it seems more sustainable than like it does for sure.

I just think there's I think there's some really proper players behind them. I think Fitzpatrick, Salataurus and Cam Young and honestly, Abe is like not going to go away too. So I'll say no, I'm going to take the numbers. The horse is in the back, if you will. Randy, does Mito win? I don't think so. I don't and I. I don't. And I'm kind of with DJ.

I think, you know, maybe he shoots in the 72 range, but I think somebody comes and gets it. So I am going to say yes, and here's why. Going into the tournament, I picked a Deckie. He shot two over. I changed my pick to Rory. He shot one over, then I changed my pick to JT, and he shot four over. So I've got to change my pick to Mory, he shot one over, then I changed my pick to JT, and he shot four over.

So I've got to change my pick to Mito. Thank you, sir. Yeah. So that we all get an excited golf tournament tomorrow. I think someone's gonna sneak back on who is gonna win. Something on Mito's favor. I saw Dylan DeChair had a tweet earlier. Mito typically sleeps 11 hours a night,

which is incredible. But he's gonna have no problem finding something to do. Like you can stay up, go get a good dinner tonight, and then sleep for like 11 or 12 hours, and then wake up at 10 o'clock tomorrow. Remember we came back from Taurus Oz at time, your whoops idiot slept like 15 hours? It's longer than that. That was unbelievable. Who do you think is gonna land, dude?? I'm going to take Fitzpatrick. I think it's time. I think he is steady.

Yeah, man, he's plus 350. I think that's a nice bet. Yeah, right down the board. Mito is plus 140. Fitzpatrick plus 350, Zalatorus plus 400, Cameron Young plus 800. Abraham Answer plus 1600, JT plus 2500. And then Sham then shameless is plus 4,000 Bubba's plus 7,000 Loco scene and not even listed The sink

Stuart sink is plus one 13,000 so he's one third to one Rory's is plus 10,000 100 to one so that was a drive by today on on stew sink. Like, don't show them for five or six holes in the shown, you know, hitting a brutal brutal chip. Is it coverage? Is it hamstered, am time? Let's get out of the way. No, no, we got to, we got to, we got to pick who's going to win? Who's your pick to win, Randy? I'm going to, I'm going to reach cross the aisle to the, the player, apologist representative

smiley. And I'll take Will's all torus nice ready were you concerned he had a lot of queues today a lot of queues balls off the team I know you got to get those out of the way love doing that in round three I think we make some slight adjustments I think he plays well tomorrow I would

love to see as far as rooting interest Cameron Young's awesome to watch I don't know what it is we're to kind of talking about it I don't know what it is, we were kind of talking about it. I don't know if it's like necessarily his personality that jumps off the screen, but he, there's just, I don't know, there's something about watching him. Maybe it's almost like a bit of an unknown factor, right?

Like he feels like the hipster kind of like next big thing, sort of thing, but I think that was the loudest cheer by far today, right? His ego on 17, I think that that he just seems really well adjusted. He does. He's got an awesome game that's really like a very, very big boy, like big money player game. And I shout out to Megan, the stallion.

Cash app. Pooreth texted earlier. He said, he said, any, any thought to Cameron Young being who Neil thought, like the Tredstone Young being who Neil thought, like the Tredstone operative that Neil thought can't lay was gonna be. And then we started talking about it, we said, hey, it's can't lay actually

the, like just another Goldman employee. Well, that's what Neil and I were saying, stackin' up big bonuses. Yeah, he's like, dude, I made $30 million last year, but like now my wife's gonna leave me, and I'm just like, workin' too many hours. Like, I can't do this. I can't keep the shit up.

I ruined the American economy. Exactly. It just doesn't make sense for me to be making this much money. We tried to do this earlier. What is Cameron Young's comp? What is his? I think it's similar to Sheffler. I think that's a good call.

I see the ceiling there. I mean, I don't think he had quite as accomplished of an amateur or collegiate career, but it seems like similar style of play. I mean, Scott, he's a better putter, but it just seems like he's kind of like that same progression, too, like coming up off the corn fairy, having some success right away, hasn't won yet, though.

I know people are probably gonna have issues with the comp being the number one player in the world, but that's not necessarily what you're saying, right? He's not destined for world number one. He's just like, but I wouldn't be shocked if he was. I think he's that good. I mean, he's like, basically, he's above tour average on every stat on data golf.

Driving accuracy, he's like right above. For this week or no, no, no, for like, for the season. Driving accuracy, he's like right above for this week or no, no, no, for like for the season. Driving accurate, putting driving accuracy. He's he's just about to our average approach. He's a little bit above. He's 0.8 shots around around the green. He's just above 0.7 putting. He's 0.2. It's just above. And then driving distance. He's like 2.2 shots above. Like he's really said earlier. Sure. Like he just doesn't miss the middle of the club face. Yeah, I mean, he's been the 11th best player in the world over the last three months.

Yeah. Yeah. Like, so I mean, to that point, obviously, the world rankings, he's not up there yet, but he's been, and I know three months is not a huge sample size and is no guarantee that lasts forever, but he's not that far off from being. Yeah. I mean, like, like last year, he went back to back on corn fairy which is fucking hard to do.

You won actually this week, I think this week is the KC. He won this event last year at the championship and the one that Evans scholars immeasational just outside Chicago. Of course. Just to back it up. So yeah, you just like me fucking baller, dude It kind of reminds me of Will's out Taurus. Yeah, yeah How far? 20 20 doesn't have a 25 they both went to wait for us. They're both flushers

Sure will hits the ball. God will hits the ball a lot farther than I always give him credit for yeah like he just that's a very much I test like wrongness, but Just doesn't seem like you got it nukes the ball, but to that point, I mean, he's 1.7 shots, driving distance, or that's his kind of, whatever that is, standard deviation or whatever. The only one that, that I struggled with a little bit today was that like, mega flop that he tried to hit. Cameron Young. Yeah.

Over that. Yeah, like nippy one that just went right in the bunker. Like a sky high. I think he probably would like that one back. Yeah. I mean, Grandin, you got it up from the bunker, which was great. And honestly, Zalatoris props to him. He had a couple of bunker shots today that were grotesquely good.

Yeah. Like both those guys, Mido and Zalatoris both hit exceptional bunker shots all day. There was something about, I was remarking downstairs, or something about Cam and Young, when he made that eagle on 17. Like he's trying to stay so stone faced, like I belong here, I'm about to, I definitely deserve to win a major

and he's just like trying not to fucking smile. It was just great, that was really endearing. I'm looking forward to rooting for him anymore. That was a Morakawa level, like three with the heat there. Like just like shades of what Moorakawa hit at a hearting. So more cow hit driver on that shot, but it held the degree. Yeah. Rainy.

Hey, Beach, how does our guy, Homa stack up in those beta golf? Before we get to that, just real quick, John Bailey said, cam majors, over under eight and a half. So we can maybe we'll cover that on the floor. I think that's, I think that's spot on. I think that's the number. Homa is, again, I don't know if these are strokes

or if these are standard deviations or what these are, but as far as like, if tour average being zero, Max is point plus point three in driving accuracy, plus one point four in approach, absolute flusher, minus 0.6 in around the green, although breaking, he did Texas that he learned out of chip this week that appears to be proving true, plus point five in putting and plus point nine

in driving distance. So very, very well-rounded. Well, that's what Cam Young kind of reminds me of Max Homa like right now. That well rounded. Yeah. Well, that's what Cam Young kind of reminds me of Max Homa, like right now. That's, that's interesting. Like, yeah. Yeah. I, I don't know.

Like, puddings probably are weakness, but like, doesn't really matter when you're that flush, your pudders can get hot. Yeah. You know, a couple of times. I think Max has been a lot more consistent this year, just looking at like the kind of strokes gained per round level. There are some, Cam has lost it a couple times and put up some big minus strokes to the field, you know, strokes gained, but whereas Max has only had like three or four rounds honestly for the last couple months that have been negative. Yes, he has three, he has three T2s this year and a T3.

Yeah, the comp I just thought of it might be like a longer Hadecki. Yeah, like, so about that is it just might be like a longer Hadecki. Yeah. Like, it's all about dudes, it just really flush the shit out of the golf ball. That could be it, but can we do hamster damn? Sure. Sure.

I'm gonna grab another beer. I yield my time. Right off the top. I don't have a lot of time. Let's finish the lead. I don't have a lot of time. If that coverage sucked at it. It sucked, but I think, I don't even think

we can blame CBS. No, it's not. Hey, there's so many guys involved. Yeah. Right? Oh my god, that's covered sucked after that. It sucked, but I think, I don't even think we can blame CBS. No, there's so many guys involved. Yeah. Right? Oh my God, that's so cool. That's so cool, right? God. That's ice from Thursday in that cool air.

There's so many guys involved, which is, it's gonna be tough tomorrow, because there's, like, it's the same deal. There's so many guys involved. And be like, they're saddled with, it's gotta be one of the worst contracts in sports with like the P.J. of America because like the commercial load is insane.

It's outrageous. I mean, flipping over from ESPN to that. It's just, it's like flashbacks to when CBS coverage was really bad. I do think they've gotten so much better, but this is like a regression to what used to be the norm. It was all commercials for me. I said the other night,

I think Thursday, that first hour on ESPN Plus was probably the best hour of golf that I've watched. Made me feel like I was so fucking pumped and like appreciated as a golf fan, right? Like we're gonna really, this is one of the biggest terms of the year, we're gonna really try to make it really, really good. Except for SVP.

Of course, of course, I know you guys have a beef, but today felt like we were watching like a beef, but today felt like we're watching like a very at times felt like we were watching like a bad version of the memorial, just kind of gray and like not a lot of juice on the leaderboard commercial every fucking 30 seconds. I was just looking at my phone a lot today and I miss a lot of golf today. Had a really hard time. The front nine was flat. I think some of that's from just like the sun not being out. Like that grain is permeates through the screen. It's gonna be sunny tomorrow.

So I'm looking forward to that. Cody, what's up? I was just gonna say a couple days ago, Saul, you said something that CBS was getting ready to debut a couple new features to the broadcast. Just curious if you wanted to shed any light to that because it doesn't seem like we're seeing much newness going on. They did the swing thing. Yeah, I bought into the press release hype apparently. any light to that because it doesn't seem like we're seeing much newness go on.

They did the swing thing. Yeah, I bought into the press release hype apparently. I saw some tweets that were like, oh, fancy technology they're bringing out. I saw some descriptions that sounded like some new stuff and I saw nothing new. They've done a great job with the wind. Yes they have. Which, like, yo, sell the wind thing. Put a freaking sponsor on the wind thing.

If that's, you know, five less commercials. You get your boys at win need to step up. No, I don't give any ideas because they'll just tack it on to the already existing commercials. They're not gonna actually cut the commercials out. And then they had that and then the swing thing where they've got the, you know, the camera, like the four or five cameras behind.

Like that's cool. They did that a few times and that's a nice, nice touch. I have another notes on the break. That's fine. I'm ready to move on. Randy, thank you so much for yielding your time. Of course. Boba, we got to talk. Boba. You got to talk, you got to talk, Shamest Power. Of course. Otherwise, the Irish really good golf. Really good a golf. That's always, as always, my take on Shamest Power.

Boba, I'll definitively say this if you want a call for it. It's not as bold. Now he felt back to T seven. I was going to say he's not going to top 10. And I said that when he's in the top five, I said that. Yeah. So I think Baba, he's got the weirdest major record ever. Five top 10 finishes in 55 major starts.

He's got a runner up at Wistengstrates, two masters wins and two other top 10s, one of them, the O seven US open at Oakmont and like one other T5 at Augusta. And that's it. Like nothing else. His major record is awful. Yet he's won two of them. Jim Furek, I pushed you got, Rainy, you didn't hear this earlier, but how many top five finishes in majors do you think Jim Furek has? I've finished this in majors. Do you think Jim Fuhrer has? Just off the top of my head, I will say, eight. 16.

Bubba's got five top five. How many top tens? Oh, he's got 23 top tens. You might have talked to your friend and Jim about whether he's a killer or not. Listen, that might be a different category, but he was consistent in majors and Bubba is not that. So I've remained perplexed that Bubba is competing here.

Having said that, I'm bummed that I would swap Bubba for a number of these guys in the top five. Like put, put Bubba three shots ahead of the field tomorrow. I think it's a much, no offense to Mito. I think it's much more interesting, interesting day. I'm, I'm down for watching past his prime Bubba try to figure out a major championship. I was, I was pumped seeing him up there and I'm kind of bummed seeing him fall back.

He's in a different stance with his, with his putting, he's got his heel off the ground when he's, when he's putting now. It's just so jarring to see Bubba and Link's soul stuff too. Like not, yeah, nothing screams California cool. Super laid back. laid back dude, the Bubba. Just twitching everywhere.

Any, anyone else the top. How far back is too far back? God, that's a great question. I think even is too far back to win the tournament. I think somebody, I don't think it's likely, but I think I think minus seven might win tomorrow, right? Overall, yeah. So I got a text. Sixty-four. Couple of caddies really, they both said minus six, but that was, I think minus seven might win tomorrow, right? Overall, so I got a text,

a couple of caddies really, they both said minus six, but that was, I think that was before Mido made the pot, but I'm not sure if that matters. Sam Burns played well. Lucas Herbert, like 68, jockingly good there. The Pro, we didn't really, we didn't really even address the fact the approach out of very nice even bar. 70, 69, 70 over three rounds. Yeah, I'm sure he's disappointed to bogey 18, but

that's like, that's one of those things we said coming in, right? Is like Max, time to, time to kind of, you know, put up a shot up, like let's see him, let's see him do it in a major. And I know, obviously, like that was the number one thing on the top of his head. And he's, that's got to be so hard to, you know, when that starts chirping at you, on the top of his head. And that's got to be so hard to, when that starts chirping at you, like he's been very open about his, what's going through his mind and what he's kind of thinking through

and what thoughts he's trying to bat away and all that stuff. And when that becomes top of mind to actually show up and go through your practice round, go through your process, go through four really slow days or three days so far. And still be there at T10, like I'm super proud of them. That's awesome.

Acknowledge the issue, acknowledge the challenge, accept it, be like open and honest about it, and then go out and, you know, and we're not gonna crown him. Yeah, I mean, he's gotta go do it tomorrow, but the Pro XP, his cybersecurity style. Exactly. We were saying yesterday pro XP Pro 97 those former those outdated versions

They wouldn't have been able to hang this week. I know this was pro XP No, this is pro 3.0. Okay. I believe gloss by you. Okay This is cloud-based. He is. Yeah, he's in the cloud now officially Running through the other guys at t10. Well, we I don't know if we have given the proper shout to web Simpson for shooting back nine 30 today and getting in the house with 65 and and catapulting from on the cutline to inside the top 10 in one day and overcoming counts cancel culture. That's right. Yeah, and that web said dog strider. I love web. Web's been playing like shit like all year too. So it's just sweet when you find somebody like you see somebody find it. Yeah, at a major. Yeah.

Uh, honest Abe, I think we've kind of glossed over that as well. Like you're very solid man. You guys say honest Abe or that Corey Conner says like that like in the most complimentary way like he's got that LPGA game, like he hits it straight. It's his irons really well. He doesn't really hit it out of play. I think that's honest, amen. He just, like, it's like that straight down the middle just gets off the tee. It's not, it's not in spectacular, but then like, he's just so flush with his five iron and his six iron and his three wood from like ridiculous distances. Which Andy, I think Andy Johnson's talked about this a lot on his podcast, but where you see some guys like this like, like Abe or like we always kind of joke about Brian Harman, you know, showing up in majors or guys like that that are used to hitting longer irons

on a week to week basis on the PJ tour. And getting up and down from every spot. When all of a sudden everybody has to hit long irons, like those guys tend to stand out a little bit further, right? Which I feel like it's a good point and and something that Abe kind of fits the bill on Sam Burns T10 minus one Gary Woodland I just want to think I've seen a single Gary Woodland shot this week He's always just off camera. I they're always like there's like a Gary Woodland group is over there

There's a let him hit. I was a little disappointed Davis Riley Today it seemed like you miss. I mean, he shot 73. I thought that back nine was going to be like he shot 38 on the back nine. Just missed a lot of plots. It seemed like I was going to push back just a little on a he actually a he gets it out there a little bit more than I was looking at that too. He's hitting it farther than then a lot of people he thinks he's a little buncher and you know, everyone thinks he's just a amazing short game, but he's actually just a ball stri. He thinks he's a little bunter and everyone thinks he's just an amazing short game, but he's actually just a ball striker.

And he's a wildcatter. Well, then he's an OU guy. Yeah. So Cody, I think, called this one. We said we were looking past A last night. Cody Kudos to you. Um, I want to talk about the cat. Yeah.

Uh, do we have to? I was going to seed most of my time here just in that I will double down on what I said last night. He should have smiled as he two-potted 18, said, you guys all saw him, he make the cut. I'm going to scoop this. I will not be playing any further. Half of your sock. Yeah, exactly.

And obviously, only he can decide whether he wants to go out and play and what the pros and cons of doing that are. And nobody's going to tell him not to do it. But, yeah, I mean, just it's a bummer. I didn't wanna get up and watch it. I don't, not to be a dick, but it's like, what did you think was gonna happen? Guys, he's having a hard time walking.

Like, yeah, that's probably not gonna hold up for four days. So, to see him WD, honestly, I'm like, good, I'm kinda happy with that in a weird way, right? And I'm okay with, like, go get some rest, man. Yeah, I do, let's show up for the week. Let's see what we got. Maybe we can get in the hunt.

Exactly. Maybe we can find something. Maybe we can get a top 15. If something crazy happens, you know, we can, you know, once I'm out of it, like I don't need to prove anything to anyone tomorrow. Exactly. Like it's not, this is not going to be good for me

right now. I mean, that, you see that step he took trying to get in the bunker today, like that leg is, I don't understand how it is working at all. It doesn't make any sense. And that one step I thought that'd be enough to be like right there, like, why am I doing this? I think we can have Randy and KVV and Push and I

had a really good like text chat about today. I think we can probably dig into a lot of that tomorrow night because I think it's probably more macro. But when he didn't show up for media after the round, or like, you know, when word got out, like, Steining gave word to assembled media that he wasn't going to be meeting the media, it's like, that's, that felt like the writing was on the wall. Yeah. Yeah.

Which honestly, we say this all the time, but he must've been feeling really fucking bad to not talk to me because he always talks to me. Yeah. And it's like credit to him on that. And that's where it's like he's got plenty of credit in the bank, I think, to not talk to media when he doesn't want to because he always does, but when he's not going to, it's like something pretty bad.

I just struggle. I struggle a little bit with him rocking up to the majors in like I do not think he should show up at Brooklyn. I was gonna say on the media front, I don't know how many times you can go and just be like, oh yeah, it's really hurts. And I got a great PT team, we're gonna go ice it, get some treatments, he would have it.

And what hurts, yep. Yep, yep. Oh, I'm sure it's just one. Oh yeah, I don't know how pretty you can do that. Yeah. I just can't load. Yeah. I'm gonna cancel media today, guys. I can't do the whole act. But, um, but also it seems like he a he likes like he loved getting up there. He loves like showing off that he's bad Friday night. He loves the warrior mentality. Yeah. He loves like and I think some of that comes back to like Cody. It's like he, like, you know what? He wants to be you, baby. He wants to be a fucking warrior. Yeah. warrior mentality he loves like and I think some of that comes back to like Cody it's like he like

you know what he he wants to be you baby he wants to be a fucking warrior yeah as a fellow military man he don't know if you have any any perspective on that for sure he's never never down never out he's always gonna battle back what I will say the question is is is he gonna come back for the country club I mean when we were up there a couple of weeks ago, the biggest difference that I saw between the country club and then Southern Hills earlier this week is that the rough, the country club has all that exposed rock. It's very knobby everywhere you're walking. It's super thick.

It's not an easy course to walk. So I don't know if that's the next place I will actually see him over the open championship, but that's kind of my take from it. That's where I'm at. All the kind words about the warrior heart though, TC, you know, me and cat. We're part of the same stable. So we're on the hand and hat, whatever it takes me to get this is given a challenge. And I think for the cat, this is this has wide fairways, right? This was like a place where it could could conceivably work for him and I don't know if Brooklyn conceivably works for him. I just struggle where people are saying,

oh, he's got the, he's gonna show up to all the majors because he's only got so many of these left. And my pushback on that is like, is he gonna have less of them left if he shows up at all of them and shows up at the wrong ones. Where like, if he needs reps, go play Harbor Town. Go play Colonial. Go play places that are crazy, easy walks.

Those are tournaments for money. That you can just straight up, yeah, I know, but like, it's also reps, it's practice, right? And I think the priority I've said it since like, end of last year, like the priority should be British open it should be St Andrews 100% I Will he will be at that one we know that Rainy anything to add on the cat no no, but I have some thoughts for more macro discussion, but nothing

We can save that okay, so we're not got our cash app you want to play some cash games We want to do the same prompt do people I've had people had too much time. Oh, sorry. We gotta talk about Fina shirt Which I think you nanomasting I think Massive celebration I know a lot of people feel like you know this is gonna be a true like T off moment on this I was way way way it granted DJ's a massive Georgia O'Kee fan huge huge yeah Especially put some of your stuff behind the paywall, to be honest.

I would have loved dark pants with it, but you know, listen, he was absolutely stunting on people, so. Yeah, you know what, I'm trying to buy one. Anybody has a lead on it? I saw it on, I think on trendy golf. Yeah. Anybody else we want to call out today

for that didn't answer the bell? Joaquin's kind of faded a little bit. Cam. Cam Smith. 73 for Cam today. Not good. Just totally picking someone out of a hat, but a big shot by Mac and Tyre in the future, the Ryder Cup shooting 80 today and he thought so of that TC.

That's tough. We're going to meet with our team. I had a long text discussion with Rumi McDonald last night. He was talking me off the ledge because people were, you know, Kyle Porter decided to air me out at like 11 30 PM before I was going to bed about Nikolai Hougard. Hougard, sorry. And, you know, I, I was battling some trolls on there.

Rain, it was in the bad, Big Shot Bob was in the bed side of the wave today. Even Houggin was calling out Big Shot. He's like we got a razor floor from like being happy to make the cut in majors to going We yeah, it's a good Journalistic Ricky Fowler 71 70 71 Randy respect anything there one Randy respect anything there. He's currently two twenty eight. He's irrelevant. Well, you apologize, Randy. I saw I saw it a commercial today too that Ricky's dad's name is is

Rod. Yeah. I think that's been out there for a while. Big big. I just just before we get to cash out, I know you said if Camtron Goli shot under par today, you'd apologize. He did not. He shot two over. So we're expecting an apology. Eddie moment from Camt to you. I'm going to, I'm going to work with I'm going to back channel that one. I appreciate you bringing that up. P 73 today. Tural Hatten 74 after you bitched like crazy about the setup, but about the golf course. I got a couple speed very disappointing all week very disappointing

cuttings out of course didn't play well in the conditions and Vic Vic covelyn not yeah, I Was bummed Shane Lowry. He's T36. He hasn't really like he's three over like there's a bunch of guys at like one to three over. They're not really like they haven't done anything Bad they're just not doing anything good either. Gooch bad 74 today What else we got? Yeah, otherwise, you know, just kind of one of those things like I think I'm very very disappointed in big leash as well.

What about Rami? 76. Right, I would let you, I think you have some leash to really stunt on that one. It's not been good, man. I was expecting a massive year, and it has not been there. Didn't make a birdie.

No, I mean, it's just, yeah, it's not good. It's not good. Congratulations to you. You got a little one on it yeah, it's not good. It's not good. Congratulations, Steve. I hope you're happy. That's good stuff, man. It's got a little one at home and another one on the way. Life's probably hormonal, come on. Keep flowing in your comments here as we go.

If you have to include your cash tag and today's summary in three words, has to be exactly three words and have to have a cash tag and we're sending everyone $50 for that. Kramer Hickock's three shots out of the bunker today was fantastic. I missed all that. He was plugged up in shots out of the bunker today was fantastic. I missed all that.

He was plugged up in the top of the bunker. Double eight off. Couldn't get out. The ball hits him and then settles in his own footprint. Obviously couldn't get out of the bunker after that and then hold the next one for Bogey. Wow. How about that? That's sweet.

Guys, what are your three words? Provocative 718 pairing. See, using 718 as a, as a, we got co-crack and horsial playing together. That's describing tomorrow. Yeah. Oh, today, describing today, Randy got three words to describe today.

All picks bad from gym. Anderson, that's, that's pretty good. I, if I had to describe today. Big boy golf. Oh, that's interesting. I like that. Yeah. I'll say I'll say, uh, swine flu epidemic. This is the McRiv has gone.

Yeah. Are you guys hearing about this monkey pox? Yeah. He said we got we got a lot to talk about on the trip. Draw. I know, man. What is this? Not good. this monkey pox? Yeah, we got a lot to talk about on the trip. I know, man, what is this? Not good, the monkey pox. I think I'm gonna stick with my three word conditions are tough.

Conditions are tough. I'm gonna say disappointing Rory comma JT. Just, you know, I was hoping one of them would show up and neither showed up. 11 hour and a half is a good one. Clark Gulley, Rory makes sad. That is pretty much it. No tour wins from Jack Middleburg is pretty good there too. No tour wins on top of the board.

No BGA tour wins. Jim Nance is in here from Kicking Cubs. The shoe fits. As in fits, FITC. Wow. That's it. I mean, that's gotta be that's got to be the favorite for tomorrow, right? Or or fits or fits magic Fitz magic is I fits Matt is such a big part of his AFC package for so many years We got we got a track down a an old head in here. Oh, that's a good one too. Can't do freeze Barbara got sued Sorry, Randy, that was an opportunity to cut you off you were sick

I the whole day watching golf today. I was thinking like what is what is Lee Trevino shoot today? Like what is Larry Nelson shoot today? I say currently are you say really come in here and tell me Doctors go that much better than they used to be. Isn't that the question? Oh, Lietri Vito is playing against plumbers and carpenters, man. I know he could golf as well. Yeah, I think Arnold Palmer was certainly a plumber.

Oh, God, that's good stuff. Do you want to talk about Nicholas getting sued? Oh, God, yes. I do I ever. Megan McGuire, Cornfairy Globe. Do you want to talk about Nicholas getting sued? Oh God, yes. Do I ever? Megan McGuire, Corn Fairy Globe. I feel like Megan's been cleaning up. I feel like we've seen her name a couple times. We give it out too much cash.

Yeah, there might be a multiple time winner. It might be Megan Estalion. It might be big money player. I missed it. There was one we're talking about, Fowdo body and fill, which we didn't, we didn't have enough talked about here. We're gonna call it for the game. We're gonna call it for the game. What did he do?

We're gonna call it for the game. Let's talk Jack first, because- This rule. Take a tour. No, I'm giving, I'm seeing the Florida Randy. Okay, well, I haven't had a ton of time to study it, but from what we've been able to tell, Nicholas is being sued by Nicholas companies,

because Jack was trying to like take money off on his own from Liv Golf to endorse the league. And Nicholas companies essentially is alleging that they had to step in and save Jack from himself and being dragged in the media all off Phil. And what I think is what they're really upset about is This this money and business and you know jack Potentially getting dragged in the media would have done a lot of harm to Nicholas companies Not least of which would be their Continuing golf design work in Saudi Arabia. So before you think Nicholas companies is doing this from the goodness of their heart,

I think a large part of their issue with Jack is, Jack don't go like messing this up for us too, because we have courses to build, we have contacts in Saudi Arabia. The Kadea. Yeah, exactly. Barbara, the case is coming from inside the house. I'm bummed you don't share Jack's vision

for the Kedia Randy. Imagine selling your company. I'm actually selling your company. Jack, Jack really wanted that 100 million from Liv Golf to endorse the league. Essentially they stepped in and removed Jack from that situation. And then Jack, there's three events that have took him place. One was breach of contract for receiving a substantial cash payment for promoting the 2022 Sodall open. It was a DP World Tour event Belgium. That just happened last second one was

wrongful conduct involving a video game being developed with the Masters and PJ tour and the final straw was the Sadi League and his reported one hundred million dollar offer because he was flexing on in the fire pit interview that uh... that he turned down the offer that they offer a hundred million they turned it down but it really was uh... seems like it was the nicoose companies that's been like selling your company for what hundred and thirty million i think something like something that neighborhood selling your own company and then they basically saying all right like i'm like not company for what 130 million I think, something like something in that neighborhood, selling

your own company and then like you basically saying, all right, like I'm not having enough liquidity or enough confidence in yourself to run your own business. And like working, like but like selling your company and then having to work for that for said company and perpetuity with your name, like on the door. And I guess I saw like in some of the the statements to that he was he's been Like actively working against Nicholas companies as far as design and stuff like that. So, you know, and it's worth noting as well that golf.com Miura

True spec That's all 8 a.m. Golf, which is Howard Milstein who also owns the Nicholas companies. Can you imagine like you're from Columbus? Can you imagine the memorial like basically him turning that over to live? I mean seriously like that's because I mean like what like what does he think is gonna happen if he goes out in the Dorses live like the PGA tour is gonna rip the memorial from him. He's gonna be, like, they're gonna be fucking livid. And that, like, and then he's gonna turn around

and basically say to, to Norman and company, I don't know how much longer Norman's gonna be around, but basically saying to them, like, hey, do you wanna have a live classic at Amir Field Village? How insane would that be? Oh my God. Something that there's definitely more to come

in this space. You can say we haven't even talked about Sean Bratches, the chief commercial officer, the guy that Greg Norman keeps hiding behind is like, no, don't worry, we've got that shit locked down. This guy is a genius. Don't worry about that. He's taken care of it. That guy left this week. What happens when they get out? There's a stop asking questions about the war, the economy. We got that shit. There is a God there's some good stuff to come. If you're watching the colliding pressure systems going on right now of like a massive influx of cash coming in from the north, all the adults in the room slowly heading out and then all the entitled tour players moving in at the same time could be in for a really good couple months,

especially with like, you know, it reminds me a lot of like what we've seen in politics the last couple of years where as soon as shit starts to go bad, like all these people are gonna stab each other in the face and like there's gonna be so much leaking going on and people just like trying to save their own ass. It's gonna be awesome. It's gonna be really, really good stuff.

Which by the way, like I- Keep the faith guys, it's gonna be awesome. It's gonna be really, really good stuff. Which by the way, like, I- Keep the faith guys, it's gonna get good. I follow Bryce on an instant. Like, I'm convinced that Bryce is putting makeup and shit on. Like, I don't think that he's like, oh, my hand quits, like he put something up last night. Hand quits swelling, like, I wanna go play golf. I'm dying to play golf.

He deserves a second chance. TC, come on. What a weird quote. TC, come on. What a weird quote. All right. I think when we're on Bryson's hand make up that it's time for the end of Saturday night show. Quick shout out to NCAA championships. Team Rose is absolutely bucking the final or the, I'm sorry, the second round, second

round of four stroke play rounds is just wrapping up at Greyhawk golf club. Stanford is in the lead by four awesome round today by Oregon, the number two team in the country. It kind of set up for some fireworks out there. Big hell yeah. And so if people aren't familiar, they have two more rounds Sunday and Monday of its dual, both the individual national championship is taking place, plus the top eight teams qualify for match play, which then begins Tuesday. So golf channel will be airing the final round of the individual national championship

slash qualification on Monday. I cannot wait. And I just think this difficult course set up for Rose is so good for her. She is such a proper player and yeah, I would just expect her to keep separating the next two rounds. And we've got it. Beware because Ingrid Lynnbalt is lurking. She's a killer. I'm telling you all. And as far as a world number one race, those two are like very, very close in the, in

the waggers as well. But Rose currently a foreshot individual lead. So I think the final round is televised, Randy. Is that right? Yeah, Monday. Yeah. They pick up coverage. Sorry.

I couldn't remember if it was the last round of Strog player. If it was once they've moved to match play. But yeah, that's the big thing on Strog Place seating for those top eight and then trying to give way an individual tile. Rose needs a little help in the top 20 there. I think next best player on Stanford is T19, Sadie Anglement. What's Rachel Hicke? Rachel had a nice round.

I think we mentioned this earlier, but right after we did our documentary, Shannon getting mono and was was very under the weather and anybody who's ever had mono, it's an absolute just like energy zap for just months and months at a time. So I think conjecture, but that probably explains some of her lackluster performances

in the spring here, and then she was just straight up out for a number of events as well. And so she had a bad round in round 176, but fought back even part of the day. It's what sounded like some tough condition. So she is currently T 29. We got a lot of hot though. Yes, she can. So hopefully she can keep the energy up in the heat out there. We did get a lot of requests to talk about Fowdo. We didn't we mentioned it, but didn't really touch on it. But I didn't think I didn't think you put them in

a body bag. I thought FALTO had prepared and committed statements when they came on the air asking about, why isn't Phil here? He just kind of said, like look, he accomplished two of the most amazing things. You can accomplish in professional golf, which is one, winning as an amateur, a PGA Tour event as an amateur,

winning a major at the age of 50, and also neither of those things, mattering when it comes to the Hall of Fame career you have in between. Like, take some time to look at the trophies in your house and remember why you got into the game of golf and you belong out here on the PGA tour. And look, it wasn't like groundbreaking stuff, but Fowdo usually fumbles through all of those things and I thought he was prepared and spoke directly.

They kind of tiptoed around. They didn't mention Saudi. They didn't mention the other league. It was just kind of like vaguely referred to it, but I thought Fauto speaking directly on that and being prepared was no worthy. Which maybe this is an outlier because Phil's literally the defending champ

and you have to talk about him, right? I don't wanna praise them too much for really going out on the limb because genuinely he's the defending champ. But I think Fauto rightfully takes a lot of shit in this space from from the boys and I think you probably have to turn a lot of those guns on the PJ tour when you hear him Come out today at a non PJ tour event and say something like that directly to a player, right? Like I think what we say a lot is like why don't these guys say anything?

Why don't these guys say anything speak what you're in your mind. Like, give us some actual insight. And it's just interesting when you see the guy who never, ever does that. Do it at a non-PJ tour event. It's like you can kind of connect some of the dots. So not to give him a total pass, but I think it just illustrates how much their hands are tied on actual PJ tour tour.

I would say that's true for most guys. I don't think, like, I just don't think Fowdo has a lot to say in general. Yeah. And then like, I'm surprised. It's proof that he said something, right? most guys. I don't think, like, I just don't think Fowdo has a lot to say in general. Yeah. And then like, I'm surprised he did. But at least it is proof that he said something, right? I'm surprised he didn't invite,

filled like team squares afterwards. There is, I cannot confirm that he did not. You want to get him to leave Yellowstone club and go up to a woolenist club with him. Really? Old Montana boys. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, correct.

JD stands as the bar is so low for Fowdo, it's ridiculous, which is very, very true. We got the forecast up for tomorrow. Forecast is up for tomorrow. It looks like the aforementioned north wind. 12 to 15 miles an hour through the course of most of the day with some gusts getting maybe as high as the 30s early on, but mostly in the low 20s.

Kind of tapering. And temperature in the mid 60s, nice, sunny day all day, not getting above 70 degrees tomorrow. That's a chamber of commerce day. Yeah, I think we're gonna have, I hope we have a exciting, I hope things like start getting moving too quick tomorrow. Like everything's going fast and furious,

birdies on other sides, opposite sides of the golf course, I think we could be in for a fun day. What's exciting, but I've been wrong about literally everything. Well, it's exciting about this top of this leaderboard is that I feel like we have enough inexperience that we're going to have someone blow up.

And we have enough like pure ball strikers in that same group that we're going to have someone play really well, right? Like you're going to have both sides of the spectrum. I think tomorrow it's just a matter of deciding who's who. That was the interesting thing about today. Both Zalatoris and, um, and me. Sometimes in the same round. Like, yeah, it's sometimes multiple times in the same round.

So I think it's, you know, it's, it's going to be volatile. For sure. We just need to carry Hague to keep, you know, come on. Keep ramping it up. Grab your sack. Big boy. Come on. I want some fireworks. Come on. Give it to these whiny players. I want some fireworks tomorrow. Thank you, everyone, for tuning into the show. Thank you, boys, for being here. Cody. Thank you for running the ones and twos. This was a blast.

We'll see you back here tomorrow night live for the full week recap and everyone enjoy the coverage tomorrow. Cheers. Barbara. Barbara, we're getting sued. litigation. We're gonna cancel it. Give it a big club.

Be the right club today. Yes. Be the right club today. Yes! That's better than most. How about in? That is better than most. Better than most! Expect anything different.
