Starting point is 00:00:56 See Fannatic Sportsbook app. All right. So, Liz, a lot of golf action around the world, including right here in Scottsdale, which we'll save because it was the main event. Large. Butterfield Bermuda Championship, Adam Shank. First win in over 230 starts. It was 137th on the FedEx going in, which is two events left, was staring Q school dead in the eye, but not no more.
Starting point is 00:01:18 He is a champion. Two-year exemption moves up to 67th in the FedEx Cup points race. Yeah, I mean, you've got to be a pretty serious golf fan, I think, to be, like, tuned in to Bermuda. It's not the final week. There's still another one afterward. It's at a weird time. The wind blows 100.
Starting point is 00:01:33 If you watched it Sunday, it was sweet. Like, there was football on. I was going back and forth. The wind was blowing 400 miles an hour. It seemed like everybody in contention with a chance. A, it was super volatile. I was like, if someone can get in the house at 12 or something, like they may win this thing,
Starting point is 00:01:48 everyone around the lead needed enormous week to like get in, they seem to all be outside the top 100, all needed a huge week. And it comes down to like honestly, the last two holes, Adam Schenck, a guy who has been about his vocal with putting yips as any guy that I can think of. Puts one-handed, like his whole routine is just wild. comes down to like a four footer on 17 and a five footer on 18
Starting point is 00:02:11 to win and change his whole life dude it was a really like I know it's not doesn't change global golf or anything like that that Adam Shanks is going to be on the PJ tour for another two years but it's a those are the like most fun to watch I think that's what the fall is all about
Starting point is 00:02:24 just turning your career around turning your season around and this is a life changer for him look at guys like Chandler Phillips who was also way out of keeping his car solo second moves up to 90 second so therefore he's pretty much
Starting point is 00:02:36 He's good with RSM. Max McGreevy was 100 going in, finishes tied for third, moves well inside the number. He's good to go now. The wild one was Takumi Kaniya, who was outside the top 100 going in, was tied for second, had four feet on the last for par.
Starting point is 00:02:52 If he makes it, he moves up to 83rd. He missed it. He is now 99 going into RSM. So trouble for him, but him missing that also gave Chandler Phillips more points, which locked up his card. But Takumi Kaniah was going from having a, you know, just a relaxing week at RSM to now, oh boy, we got to go out there and play well.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Damn sure got to make the cut to have a chance to keep your card for 2026. Yeah, there's just nothing easy about being on the bubble. It's just like the one put. And that also puts into context, shank's putt, which was longer, similar line, a little further. But like, I mean, that finish. I was sitting there. I got no dog in the fight whatsoever. Room for all these dudes to play well.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Obviously, I was like, man, this would be, I hope this goes in. Because if this doesn't, like what is, he's already, you can tell it. There's a lot going on when he gets over the ball with the putter, right? Like that whole routine that lining up, then going back and doing it again, hands move all over. He stands up super tall on 17, misses the one to the right. And again, on 18, it looked like he was hunched over damn near 90 degrees. The right hand was on the shaft.
Starting point is 00:03:53 There's just so much stuff going on when he pusses. I was like, please just go in. This could potentially just break his entire brain. And then he's such a nice dude, too. Yeah, I watched probably the last like seven or eight holes, and you could see the nerves. They were there. And it wasn't just the putty.
Starting point is 00:04:06 It was everything. About him and his caddy were talking a lot, hitting some different shots, which was really cool in the wind. But pressure is a privilege, but pressure also sucks because you have to show up and saw a lot of guys hit some bad shots. Like people fine in the water on 17 off the T, the par five,
Starting point is 00:04:21 and they're hitting irons into the water. How about his layup? How about Shanks layup on 17? Yeah, it would. That was sick. It was like a put. Yeah, it was awesome. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:30 I loved it. But, yeah, man, that's the fall events. that's what they're all about. I know they don't get the ratings. The stars aren't there, but this is, Adam Shake doesn't care. He couldn't be happier right now.
Starting point is 00:04:40 If I could have paused time before he hit that last put and you were setting the odds. Oh boy. What would that have been? With the win? That's not even money. I mean,
Starting point is 00:04:47 that's a hard putt, I think, with no win. On smooth greens. And it's downhill and breaking pretty good. I mean, and just with his putting stats, maybe he was 132nd putting
Starting point is 00:04:55 on the season this year in the PJ on the PGA tour. I mean, he's plus money, I think, it's plus money. I don't know if it's two to one or not, but it's definitely plus money. With all that on the line, yeah, it was not.
Starting point is 00:05:05 So, I mean, hey, maybe this turns it around and, like, gives him a ton of confidence with the putter going forward. Well, I mean, at least he's got some time to figure it out now without grinding over every, I mean, he missed eight cuts in a row. Like, I think, you know, he had these huge stretches of missed cuts multiple times during the year, missed 15 cuts on the thing. Like, you're just watching yourself fall down and fall down. Know you, knowing that you're going to have to have a week almost like he just had this week.
Starting point is 00:05:25 You don't have to worry about any of that shit. I mean, if anything can help at least ease the mental tension of putting, having a two-year exemption on the PJ tour knowing you're there, got to help. Well, this was a guy just two years ago finished eighth in the FedEx Cup. He was a machine. Yeah, and I mean, golf's hard.
Starting point is 00:05:39 It changes a lot. No shit. Skinny, too. Skinny shank. Super skinny. Yeah. Congratulations to him. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:05:45 His wife put out an awesome tweet. They were not there, her and the kids. They're heading to Sea Island. She said, was about to pull out to the airport and their little son yelled, did you bring my club?
Starting point is 00:05:55 I got to hit bombs with daddy. So that'll be a cool moment when they get together and Sea Island. But happy for him and the whole family. They're fantastic people. Matt Fitzpatrick wins the DP World Tour Championship. Rory McElroy, though, wins the race to Dubai for the seventh time. Now just trails Colin Montgomery, who has eight.
Starting point is 00:06:17 I think he'll get him. I mean, I think he'll catch him. The Earth course over there in Dubai, whatever they call it, Roy McRoy, he just destroys the place. Makes Eagle on the 72nd hole to get into the playoff with Fitzpatrick. Then he found the water. But still, just another great week from Rory. Matt Fitzpatrick, his first win in two years.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Tommy Fleetwood missed the playoff by shot. I mean, there's nobody playing better than him. By the way, that guy on social media that was coming out. I actually chimed in. About Tommy. Yeah, I'm like, what do you how talking about? In what world is this dude not one of the top two or three players in the world? Have you been, like, since August?
Starting point is 00:06:49 And we got attacked for Ben Griffin, too. And, I mean, just every ranking there is has Ben Griffin in the top ten. Yeah, like OWGR. If you want to throw it out the window, use the other ones. Whatever. I mean, the guy won three times. I believe he was ninth. in OWGR and then Datagolf,
Starting point is 00:07:02 which a lot of people use and thinks a lot more accurate. I think he was fifth. I don't think either of them are arguable. I mean, there's data to show it. But if you don't think Tommy Fleetwood, right now, current day is one of the best guys in the world, then I don't know what golf you watch. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Is it good, though? Like, let me ask you this. Rory seven times now, race to Dubai. That plays prominently on the PGA tour. Is that good for like the DEP World Tour? Sure you want a star, I guess, like winning it. But when it's like, here's a guy, your tour is secondary to him.
Starting point is 00:07:28 And yet he wins it every single year. Is that a good thing? I don't know. I don't know if it's a good thing. I don't know. I mean, I get it like the major championships count. He earns points on the DP World Tour through that. The players championship, I believe, as well.
Starting point is 00:07:41 And then he goes over and plays, you know, five, six, seven events on the DP World Tour. And he normally plays pretty damn well. He normally wins or comes close, yeah. I know he meets all the criteria to be a member of the DP World Tour. He plays all his minimums and everything. So, yeah, I mean, I think they're happy when he wins the race to Dubai. He said, although recently he's not going to be bound by any minimums going forward. So we'll see what that does for the chase at Colin Montgomery.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Let's get to the main event, though. The member member. The normas. Which you and I, neither of us were victorious. Myself and the Juice, OJ, were actually tied for the lead after the first day. Couldn't bring it home. We struggled a little bit on the up course. Closing is tough.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Wasn't great, but the good news is we each had our clubs both days. Can't say that for everyone in the field. I had a little stress day one, dude. A little stress, 1045 shotgun. I'm like, I'm getting up there early this year. I'm going to have a breakfast. I'm going to see a bunch of people I haven't seen. I'm going to stretch on my hip balls.
Starting point is 00:08:39 I'm going to have just a good day. We're going to be ready to go by the time we get to the first tee. Get my car drive up there, 30 minute drive. Perfect. Dude, I'm pulling it at 9.50. I'm like, oh, this is beautiful. So 55 minutes before the tea time. You're on this full prep.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Like a full hour, dude. I'm going to eat everything. Yeah, I don't, I need only need it. If I can get balls for 10 minutes before. Like, that's plenty. I'm like, oh, this is going to be beautiful, just a nice leisurely. I don't have to just race to the first tee like I normally do. Get out of the car, push the button, trunk open up, empty trunk.
Starting point is 00:09:08 And clubs are in the garage. Push the button, get back in and said, I'll be right back. You need those. I'll be right back. Why didn't you get a rental set? I thought about it. But I was like, dude, I can get home and get back up here in pretty close to when we tee off. I didn't end up missing any hole. They just kind of delayed our hole from teeing off.
Starting point is 00:09:25 The group behind us hadn't finished their hole yet. okay but I was like drive all the way up here and play with some rental set or something like that plus they're not as good as the cobras obviously okay so anyways got them found them and we played phenomenal dude we shot 19 under in two days in the shambled didn't even sniff with the way the shots got to play out way way way way better by the way maybe get some calloways you're gonna 24 under yeah possibly possibly but a lot of fun as always up there um shocker our flight andrew medley and rickie barnes one again because that's what they do. They got a stranglehold on that a little bit. Yeah, they're pretty good.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Yeah. But it's a lot of fun. As always, nice to be out and play some golf. Weather was money. Of course, it was incredible. Cards were flowing. Like the salmon of Capistrano. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:08 It was a good time. Member, member. I feel like the member members are, they're awesome. They're just, the member guest is like just the major. I think that one's fun, though, for us because it's like everyone's back for the first time. That's the one like we were talking about back in my younger days. I just have some big evenings up there. Spend the night.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Spend the night. Yeah, yeah, the bushes maybe vomiting them a little bit. Who knows? You know, now I'm out of there after cards, but it's still sweet. We are. There's no doubt about that. But good to be back. It's golf season.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Being it old. Right before I got here, I just got a stem cell shot in my hip. Oh, God damn. Yeah. How's that? I don't know. Let you know here in a little while. Stim cell.
Starting point is 00:10:46 That's, that's serious shit. That's real shit, isn't it? Well, I mean, they think I've been torn labor. That's that they take from like umbilical cords? Yeah. Yeah. Science. Nice.
Starting point is 00:10:55 But, yeah. I mean, everybody swears by it, went in. Doctor referred me to this guy here in Scottsdale, went and talked to him. He said he works with a lot of pro athletes, so he felt comfortable. Right. And, yeah, of course. Shot it up. He said, normal people, I would say, take like six weeks off.
Starting point is 00:11:11 He's like, you're fine. Just go ahead and do whatever you want. You can get in and out of the cart as many times as you want. So, yeah, we'll see. I'm excited. All right, dude. That works. I'm going to get some just voluntary themselves.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Just deal with the bad left hip for quite some time, which is pretty common. I think, and we'll see. Doctor swears by it, so I listen to them. Getting old sweet. I know. So good. Hip is like, that's old man shit. Oh, shit, man.
Starting point is 00:11:35 It sucks. Oh, by the way, also speedy recovery to Justin Thomas, who had back surgery because of hip pain. Had some disc issues. He's going to be out of the skins game. Shane Lowry has taken his place. But sucks for him to be out a little bit, but hey, get it done now. And then hopefully be back in time for Augusta.
Starting point is 00:11:51 He said he's not going to put a timetable on anything or circle an event to come back to. But I have a feeling with him and doing it right now. Like they did it pretty quick. It's trying to get back for major season. Yeah, he got six months. He's already out of the hospital, already doing videos and stuff like that. I think I would imagine he did it right now and get it done as quick as possible. Play some events, hopefully, before Augusta and then go.
Starting point is 00:12:11 But a lot of young people having back problems in golf these days. It's all that speed we create. No, no. That's why you and I got it figured. Just slow the shit down. Let's everyone in a rush for it. Just chill out. Back feels fine.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Speedy recovery to JT. Let's get to our gambling for the week. Fanatic sports book, download it, follow along. And if you followed along last week in the NFL, you got a little plus 605, was it? Yeah, your kids are going to college for free. Congratulations to us and all of y'all that followed along. Really wasn't too much stress, except for the bears. They tried to puke that off for us at the end and then slid that field goal just inside the uprights.
Starting point is 00:12:48 They are some greasy bastards in Chicago. They are on, feels like borrowed time, but they keep winning. Well, they're in our parlay this week because we're running it right back again. Three NFL teams, Moneyline parlay, mentioned the Bears. They got the Pittsburgh Steelers coming to town. Steelers probably going to be out without Aaron Rogers. Defense is good. I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Chicago just keeps greasing these things out. Mike Tomlin's too good of a coach to let that keep happening. We're going to take the Steelers in our first one. Yep. I like that. And then next, and I hate to do it to our man here in Arizona, Coach Gannon. but the Cardinals are struggling. The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking pretty nice.
Starting point is 00:13:27 They were part of our parlay last week. Got it done for us. We're going to rely on them again this week because they're coming out here to the desert to take on Arizona Cardinals, and we're going with the Jags. And then our last one. I feel like they're the sneaky team
Starting point is 00:13:38 not getting that much love. I think they've looked bad at times, but they've beaten some good teams too. That's fair. Yeah. And then our last one, I'm just going to let you do it because I can't say it out.
Starting point is 00:13:46 It's going to hurt you, but I saw the line, and I thought there was a misprint on it, but we got Eagles at Dallas. Eagles only given four and a half. We'll take them on the money line. They're only like minus 225 on the money line. But in Dallas, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:58 In a dawn, I was like... They hate each other. They don't always play each other close. They do. There's a divisional element to it and all that stuff, but also ones the Eagles and ones Dallas. So a money line feel pretty good about it. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Eagles, Jags, Steelers for our NFL money line. Over in the college world, which people have been very critical of our picks. We were winless in Seattle last week. We're not going to keep us from firing again, though. Zero. All right. My squad's coming off a bye week.
Starting point is 00:14:25 That's some new Mustangs. Looking to somehow sneak into this ACC championship game. This conference is an absolute disaster. Three point favorites at home against Louisville. Louisville's, they're okay. They won a lot of close games. But give me the Mustangs minus three. That ACC could be a complete train wreck on who plays in that conference championship game.
Starting point is 00:14:44 I'm going to stay over in the Big 12. This team that I'm taking got a nice little bye week last week, although they had to play. the BYU Cougars put wood to TCU who's just a walking piece of shit right now. They're going to Sinci. Minus 2.5. I think they need to keep winning to playing the Big 12 championship. They are good.
Starting point is 00:15:05 They looked really good last week. And I think Sinci coming off in L as well, I just think BYU is marching towards a big 12 championship game against Texas Tech. They can run that back. Okay. There you have it. In the golf world, RSM Classic,
Starting point is 00:15:17 the last event of the PGA tour season. A lot of the line. for a lot of guys, but we're trying to make some money here. I'm going with a local boy. Just, when you look at him, you just think Sea Island. Davis Thompson, plus 210, top 20. He is. You could just see him be like, you live in Seattle.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Yeah. You may not know. You don't need to know anything about him without question. It was so hard for me, I was like, I'm picking a sea island guy. Of course, I'm picking a sea island guy. But I looked in like a ton of them, they haven't played hardly at all. Even though it's their home course, like, I don't know. Some of them might be out hunting, maybe not playing.
Starting point is 00:15:48 So I went down a little bit. And I found Eric, Cole top 20 plus 250. He does not take much time off. He plays a lot. He has two top tens in the fall, I believe, got picked one up in Mexico. Took the weekend off in Bermuda. No problem.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Gale Force wins out there. But I'll take Eric Cole, top 20. Okay. All right. Well, that's our gambling segment for the week. Once again, make sure you download the Fanatic Sportsbook app. Follow along with us. All right, I guess this week, this boy is a bad boy.
Starting point is 00:16:15 If you watch the Internet Invitational, he was the talk of the town, except for the people that messed up. have made mistakes. There's some other talk. By far, the best player in the field. This kid is a stud. We've had him on here before. But Brad Dawkey joins us on subpar to talk Internet Invitational.
Starting point is 00:16:31 All right, it is a pleasure to have one third of the winning team of the Internet Invitational with us. He's a former college, All-American and national champion at OU. Now he has taken the YouTube golf world by storm. Here to give us a little scoop on the entire week from Good Good Brad Dawkey is here. Dockey, congrats, brother. Thank you. I appreciate it. And thank you for having me on.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Again, I'm excited to talk to you, boys. And, yeah, let's have a little fun. That was awesome, man. I loved it. I watched every bit of it. All six episodes. Didn't really know it was going to take 30 hours of my time, but I was invested.
Starting point is 00:17:07 And I watched, I got to ask, though, does your wife get a little jealous of all the love you get from all the men out there on the Internet Invitational? I mean, my goodness gracious, they love you. It's wild. Yeah, she commented, I think, on the, the last one. And,
Starting point is 00:17:21 um, I mean, it actually got a lot of love and there's a bunch of guys in there saying, like you have no idea how lucky you are. You're married to Brad and stuff like that. Oh my gosh. I think she's, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:33 I don't know if she's actually worried, but she, she does verbally say I am a little worried more of these guys are going to try to get at and go after you. They definitely, you're so lucky. You're so lucky. You're married.
Starting point is 00:17:44 I'll tell you what, dude, what you could do, if you start auctioning yourself off for like member guest availability, across country, that'd be a great while you're in between YouTube events and tournaments or whatever,
Starting point is 00:17:54 you could probably make a nice coin. Might be a good little business idea there. I own that idea you get with me. I mean, people have cameo. I mean, now we just create this. Remember guests? I mean, yeah, that'd be great idea. Just bring in hired guns.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Yeah, let's go rock anytime soon. I'm in. Hired guns. We get Hayden Wood. Call Hayden. That'd be a pretty good duo right there. That would be. Let's talk about this internet invitation.
Starting point is 00:18:19 because it turned out incredible. I mean, between Bob does sports, the barstool guys, the whole production was just phenomenal. But give us a little insight what it was like, because I feel like 48 people flew out there, didn't really know how it was going to go, but just take us through the week because it was a huge success with over 20 million views.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Yeah, it was, I mean, going into the whole thing, nobody knew what was going on. We don't know what the format was. We didn't, I didn't know if it was going to be, like, individual handicapped. I didn't know if it was going to be like a squid games type thing where the first challenge is like if you miss the green you're out or something like that. I had nobody had any idea. And I think they did a really good job with the format because it was able to show and it did it perfectly.
Starting point is 00:19:02 It was able to show what someone who's like a past pro like me versus like a comedian like Francis or Frankie or someone like that. Like it compared how we reacted under like a million dollar pressure. And I think that's exactly what they wanted. I think they wanted to be like ABC player for both teams coming down the stretch, alternate shot. Every single shot matters. And I think they killed it with the setup and with the format. And then it was wild to see, I think Ryder, who is, Ryder Reeva, he's Garrett Clark's editor. He was helping out out there.
Starting point is 00:19:35 And he took a picture of the table of microphones and like table of cameras before one of the shoot days. And it was ridiculous. Like the amount of microphones that were all synced up together. the amount of cameras, like so many things could have gone wrong if just one mic stopped working throughout the, you know, 10 hours of filming that day. And, I mean, everything just seemed to go so smoothly. They did such a great job editing it, making it into literally six movies. I mean, it was wild. And just the fact that there's that many matches going on at the same time, they were able to make this timeline where everything fit in together like puzzle pieces.
Starting point is 00:20:12 It was unreal what the Barstool team and Bob DeSports team did. and yeah i mean i've texted the brenden who's the barstool for plays main editor he's i mean i texted him multiple times like dude y'all are absolutely killing it this is unreal so yeah big kudos to them for making the format what it was dave fortnoy for having this idea and going through with it and then then the editors and videographers for all just doing an amazing job and making this really the best you know masterpiece youtube golfs ever seen so far so it was unbelievable so it's so happy to be a part of it and obviously being able to win it was even more special was 20 million eyeballs on the inaugural run wow was that your first time
Starting point is 00:20:55 meeting portenoid because i feel like when he when you first walked on the tea he was like apparently this donkey guy's pretty good like he played the masters or something yeah that was my first time meeting him so and he's you know i he's a character he there's it's one of things there's no one there's no other dave portnoit in the world he's his own person and i i really respected regardless of what you think about him. Some people love him. Some people paid him whatever. Regardless of what you think about him, he truly is the same person when the camera's rolling versus when it's not. And I can respect that a lot. It's one thing if he's this huge character when the camera's on and he's doing his pizza reviews and whatever
Starting point is 00:21:31 and then he's someone else when he's, you know, the camera's not on. But he is genuinely date for or no way whether that camera's rolling or not. And I respect him a lot for that. And obviously he's, again, he's very polarizing, but he knows how to get clicks. He knows how to get views. He's obviously built something massive at Barstool through that strategy. And he's, he did a great job. I mean, he did a fantastic job, you know, creating there, not creating the drama, just letting the drama happen. And then, you know, making sure it was edited in a way to where it really showed the drama and got got a lot of views. Yeah. And having him there, not just like talking about it, but on site, tweeting about it. Like, it adds a lot of juice to
Starting point is 00:22:09 the tournament. And like you just mentioned, you guys also got the perfect storm with drama. I feel like every episode, there was something going. going on. I mean, we got Luke Kwan sleeping through his tea times. We had slope on range finders approved lies. Which incident did you think you got the most response from or the most like outrage from on your socials? I mean, I think for my own thing, the slope gate was is the, is the biggest thing. I guess they're calling us. I guess nowadays you just add gate to any. Yeah, yeah, that's how you do it. Drama and it's, you know, it's what's called. But slope gate with Moe, just because he is a good, good guy. And obviously a little more a little closer to him than we are to you know quan obviously was a good
Starting point is 00:22:48 good guy but now he's not and then page we filmed a couple times with her but um yeah i'd say this you know slope gate was probably end up being the biggest one which i think quan is very thankful that both of those you know things happened on that last episode it took a little more heat off him uh but it yeah it's there's a lot of drama and luckily for me i on that last day um I tried to stay away from it as much as possible because I was the A player on my team. I knew I had to keep playing well for us to have a chance to win coming down the stretch. So I literally just made like a promise to myself. I'm like, hey, I'm staying out of this drama.
Starting point is 00:23:26 I am not getting involved. There was at one point, you know, like 25 people will have held it up around one laptop trying to find or trying to see the video of Mo with the rangefinder. And I'm just like, I'm just staying on the T-box. I'm not getting involved. I don't care. I'm just focusing on my game and trying to give ourselves the best chance to win. And I'm glad I did. You know, I was like some of that drama is very easily to get wrapped up in.
Starting point is 00:23:48 I think a lot of people did. And I was able just to kind of focus on my game and just keep playing golf and try to help me even Francis won that thing. Yeah, I mean, you let the clubs do with the talking. There's no doubt about it. Everybody else likes to be entertaining, saying certain things and all that. But, you know, you're close with Mo. He's a member of the good, good team. And since this all came out, I mean, listen, social media is a very tough place.
Starting point is 00:24:09 And people can be really harsh. how has he been with everything that's come out yeah i mean i think it's been tough i he does live in utah so he doesn't live in dallas like a lot of us do so i don't see him quite as much i really only see him on trips um but i mean from what i've heard you know and he's posted this thing on his some things on his instagram of you know he doesn't mind if people come at him you know it's i guess he has some people going at his family like dming his family members saying no terrible things about you know mo or about them whatever and it's like that that that's when he gets to points like hey look if no matter what you think about the situation whether you think you cheated
Starting point is 00:24:46 or you think you didn't like go at mo like you know he he's even said like he can handle i'm not condoning going at mo what by any means but he said you know come at me just don't come at my family like they had literally nothing to do with it they weren't even there they weren't you know at the imitational um so there's you know it's it's the internet and you're obviously going to have a lot of keyboard warriors that you know want to give their input to you know to mo or to anybody else But yeah, I think that's the only thing he's struggling with is like, you know, people going at his family, which is just obviously obnoxious and just unbelievable that people do that. But again, it's like it's the internet. And when you have that many eyeballs on you for one video, it's like if you do the right things, you're going to get praised.
Starting point is 00:25:31 If you, you know, possibly do the wrong things, you are going to get heat. So it's that's kind of what you sign up for when you, you know, sign up for an event like that and go play. I'll say this. Here's the deal. You don't have to give your opinion on it because he's your boy and he's on your team. Like I saw the video. Do I think he moved the button? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Do I think it's a big deal? No. Like this is in a PJ tour event. I mean, it's a slope on a rangefinder. Who cares? Exactly. I mean, it's the same thing. I don't.
Starting point is 00:26:00 I mean, the video does not look good. I will say that. But also at the same time, it's like no one will ever know for sure if he did, except for Mo. It's like he's the only one, I think, who will ever know whether he was or not. You know, maybe he was just freaking out and checking it and just looked wrong.
Starting point is 00:26:17 I don't know. But only he'll know for sure. His video obviously doesn't look fantastic. And most people, I think, would agree with that. But, again, like you said, it's people going that crazy over it on, you know, a YouTube event. It's, it's pretty wild. But, yeah, it was a whole, whole drama. And I'm glad during that moment, I was just,
Starting point is 00:26:40 able to stay out of it and just, you know, kind of do my own thing and just let my, let my club do the talk on, like you said. Some passionate people, guy using a slope on his range finder, like, I need to message some hate to his wife. That's what I'm going to take the time out of my day to tell his wife what a piece of shit I think he is. Oh, what does this matter with these people? Before we get back to Brad Dawkey, if you're serious about your golf game, your vision on the

Try for yourself the shades rated five stars by over 300,000 people. Now back to Brad Docky. You go to some positive stuff. I would say of the whole thing, you came away as the big winner. Clearly you won the tournament, just like PR-wise, the way you come across. I think you were the guy. And there's a lot of people that took some negative PR like we've been talking about
Starting point is 00:27:59 right now. But outside of yourself, who's one person that stood out maybe that you think shined at the internet invitation? I mean, I think Chaz did a great job. I mean, has is, I mean, he's a hell of a golfer. I mean, it's ridiculous. Like, I, I had seen videos. I'd never played with him. Good Good had one time, but it was a trip I wasn't, it was like a certain day I wasn't able to go. So I didn't get to play with him. That was the first time I'd seen him play a little bit in person. He's impressive. I mean, to, you know, he swings as hard as he can at every shot and he just goes dead straight and he, and he plays really good golf. And he's got a great personality. I think he was a big winner. I think Bubby was a big. Bubby was a little
Starting point is 00:28:40 polarizing on some of it, but I think he was a big one or two because, you know, he was a very team first mentality. And then obviously, I think he's been a little polarizing with him calling out Moe on the last round, which he's, he's very, he holds true to his morals. It's like even in good, good videos, whatever, it's like if he thinks someone's ever cheating or doing something wrong, like he's the first person who's not afraid to call someone out, which I think is, you know, very commendable of someone, you know, be able to not, to be able to have the courage to, like, call someone out. front of people and not just kind of hold it in. It takes a lot of courage. I think Bobby was a little polarizing, but mainly he was a winner coming out of that thing. And then obviously, Francis, I mean, Francis was, he's the funniest guy in the room. I love Francis.
Starting point is 00:29:26 That dude is, we filmed with him like a year ago in the Bahamas, a little over a year ago, and he was awesome. And he's gotten so much better at golf, too, since then. And he's just a funny dude. And then obviously beef, you know, rest in piece of beef. He was literally the nicest person in the entire world. I mean, y'all probably saw all the social media posts, even the day that it was announced of his passing.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Like, everyone was saying just how genuine he was. Every time they talked to him, he was just the nicest person that ever met. And it's true. I mean, he's one of those few people that can make anyone feel like the most important person in the room when he talks to you. And I think that shows a ton about someone's character if they can make you feel that way.
Starting point is 00:30:06 And he genuinely was such a great man. obviously this whole thing was kind of ended up being a tribute to him which which obviously which this situation never happened with him but the fact that um it did and he still you know it's kind of a god thing that he was he hit the first shot of the tournament the last shot of the tournament and then obviously the tribute to him at the end it was cool to see i think everyone i think everyone was shedding a tear when you know those last few minutes happened in that video so um definitely some winners and uh obviously a few losers too but that's again, you put yourself out there in front of millions and millions of people
Starting point is 00:30:43 and, you know, kind of a reality TV type setting. It's like there's going to be winners and losers and that's kind of what you sign up for. Yeah, you need that. Yeah, absolutely. Going back to Francis, I was watching that final episode and when Paige popped off to him and I love Paige and I was like, oh boy, let's not go barking up that tree. That's the one that'll come back at you. I don't think it's going to go well.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Yeah, I definitely egged him on a little bit too. I had once I kind of felt what was happening because it was really a flip of a switch like you know and and I've always liked page two I mean she's we filmed with her some and she's always been super nice and and um that that first green of that last round you know she's kind of barking at francis about that that putt which literally it was like a you know two foot put that you're playing outside the hole like I'm I'm not giving that pot ever and she started kind of barking up that wrong tree and I felt like that was a good opportunity to kind of egg for Francis along and, you know, maybe you could bring his comedian side out. And he did a little bit. He did it. It was funny what he said on T-box about, you know, this is my side gig, and we're playing for the same thing here. But Francis is awesome.
Starting point is 00:31:50 He's definitely someone you don't want to egg on and kind of get on his bad side. But if you're on his good side, like, I was and I had been, it's, he's a funny guy and he's fun to be around. You could tell the tension definitely ramped up once the final match started. And a lot of people saying going in, like, it was you, beef and Francis versus Mo, Page, and Frankie. And a lot of people were saying they were like a pretty big favorite, just because all three of them can hit it decently well.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Mo can play, Paige can play. But, I mean, I thought you were just obviously the massive X factor. I know it's alternate shot, but you can just, you're going to win the holes UT off on. What were your thoughts going into that final match? Did you think y'all were underdogs? It's all, I mean, I knew I had to play really well. I'd say overall we probably were underdogs, just because I knew I had to play extremely well. like I had been the last couple days before then.
Starting point is 00:32:40 So I knew I was playing well at that time, but I had to keep you going. And then with the alternate shot, you just never know, especially a place out like at Paines Valley. The fairways are big, but you can also find a lot of trouble. And with alternate shot with when you're playing with a,
Starting point is 00:32:54 you know, a six handicapper and a 12 handicapper, whatever the handicaps are, it's like anything can really happen. And, you know, whenever, for instance,
Starting point is 00:33:03 Francis's first tee shot of the round, you know, hits his worst tee shot the day. And we basically lose that hole off the T-box. And it's like, well, if that keeps happening, then, you know, that's five or six holes. We're probably going to lose. And you just never know when it comes to three or six total people with that different array of handicaps. Like, you just don't know what's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:33:24 I thought we were definitely a little bit underdogs, but I was very happy to see that I was teakoff against Frankie. And I love Frankie to death. That dude is awesome. He's one of my favorite people in the YouTube space. but I said in the video, like in that moment, I was wanting to make him just as puny as possible on that T-Boss. Loving to death, but in that moment, in the competitive environment, it's like I wanted to take advantage of, you know,
Starting point is 00:33:48 me versus him on each T-Boss, those six holes. So we were able to do that, and then Beef and Francis held their own. You know, the last few holes, they started crumbling a little bit just because the nerves really just got real as we were trying to close out the match. But they did enough and they really came in clutch. in a lot of different moments in the part three portion and in the final portion. And, you know, again, I played really well,
Starting point is 00:34:12 but if it wasn't for them coming in clutch in certain moments, like, we would not have had a chance to win. Yeah, it was like the perfect ending. I mean, all the things you said about beef, you know, there was like the scandal or whatever you want to call it throughout the rounds. Like, I feel like the right team won for this thing to be as big a success
Starting point is 00:34:26 as it could possibly be. Frankie did have a tough way to lose it with the knife into the lake on the lap. Did you get to talk? Like, how did he handle that? I know it's a fun thing and it's an internet, you know, invitational, but that's still meaningful money. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:42 I mean, that's tough. It's a lot of money. And you know in those moments, even though, you know, we only have 40 people watching us at the time, you know that these videos are going to get millions of views. And this is going to be the biggest YouTube golf thing ever. So you definitely don't want to hit shots like that because you know it's going to be embarrassing. You know it's going to be clipped all over the place and all that good stuff. but I felt for him.
Starting point is 00:35:06 I didn't really get to talk too much afterwards, but obviously that's, you know, as, you know, he has Dave in his ear. He has, you know, chirping the whole time, calling him butter knives on the 18th T-box, and then he actually goes and does it. It's like, I felt for him. Obviously, wanted to win.
Starting point is 00:35:22 I, you know, do whatever we need to do to win, but I felt for him just because that's his bugaboo. That's his, you know, his kind of shtick at times, like he's known for hitting bad wet shots and bad shifts and the fact that it came out like in the one moment that you just do not want something like that to come out. You know, I felt for him, but that's part of the competition. You know, it's you got to hit shots under pressure and you got to do it.
Starting point is 00:35:46 And, you know, it happened to go our way that day. But definitely felt from a little bit, especially seeing the clips. It's like it's, that's just a tough way to, tough way to finish. I did the thing. Not doing, I did that. Cold cuts, cold cuts, the ball. Cold cuts on the ball. It was rolling.
Starting point is 00:36:04 It was like I did the thing. It was unbelievable. The ball's rolling 40 miles an hour, dead into the middle of the lake. It's probably going to skip once it lands in cold cuts like, sit. Sit. Spin. Brad, like, I see, like, I got a chance to play with you last year. Everybody knows, I mean, how good you were at Oklahoma.
Starting point is 00:36:23 I mean, you make the finals of the U.S. Amateur. You play the Masters. You've played at the highest level. And everyone on YouTube golf obviously just raves about your talent. And it's real. Like, you have the talent to play. on the PGA tour with how successful YouTube's going?
Starting point is 00:36:37 Like, is there any thought of this at all about wanting to give it another go? I mean, it's always there. You know, I love competition. I love competing. And now I'm in such a different spot now than I was when I was doing pro golf before. I mean, when I was doing pro golf before, I think I legitimately probably was a scratch to two handicap. Your dog disagrees.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Yeah, you don't like that. Don't talk about yourself like that. that comment. Nala, shush. Sorry. But yeah, I think when I was doing pro stuff, I think I was legitimately like a two-handicap. Scratch a two-handicap. I couldn't hit the broadside of the barn with the driver.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Me trying to fix my driver, made my irons awful. So I couldn't hit a golf ball to save my life. Luckily, I still have my wedges and putting to somewhat keep myself in it a little bit. But I'm such a different golfer now. Like I'm back to being a very good golfer now. So there's always that itch of like, hey, I want to go back and compete again and see what I can do against these guys now, now that I have my game. But at the same time, I don't really want to go through the grind of it. I mean, as you all know, the grind is, it's a lot.
Starting point is 00:37:48 You know, and it costs a lot of money. You don't really make much money unless you do get to that top level. And there's a lot of money in YouTube now. So I think it's a matter of, you know, if I get some sponsor exemptions and, you know, get some chances that way, Obviously, I will accept that and I will do my best to, you know, I'll try to play my best in those moments. But as far as like going through Q school and go to PJ2 or Americas and Corn Fairy, it's like that just doesn't seem very appealing to me right now, to be honest. You know, the YouTube money is pretty nice. And but at the same time, I do, you know, if I got a chance to the PJ2, I would 100% take that chance and see what I can do against those guys.

Starting point is 00:40:10 because you mentioned couldn't hit the broadside of the barn. And a lot of our listeners, I mean, they know what that feels like. We've been talking about Adam Shank, what he did this past week on the PGA tour, battling the putting yips. like going all over the place. What did you do? Because you and I talked about this in French Lick last year.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Like what did you do to turn that corner? Because now the people that watch you're like, what do you mean this guy couldn't hit it? Like you hit it on a string 350 every time. Yeah, it's honestly crazy. And I don't, it was, there's no like pinpoint answer. Just like when you get into the it, there's no like pinpoint answer on how it happened.
Starting point is 00:40:47 It just, you know, you kind of just get into that. bad head space and you're in there for a while, but I'd say getting out of it, I, I finally figured out like the two or three things in my swing that really make my swing click. You know, I found out that, like, I had to keep a width in my arms at the top of the back swing. If I get narrow at the top, my swing's not going to hit it very well. I found out that my head moves a lot off the ball. Like sometimes I'd take away and I had to keep my head pretty still and kind of over the ball. So, like, those are the two, three, two to three things that I need to keep an eye on.
Starting point is 00:41:19 And I finally, I worked on those a lot for probably two or three months in the range. And then the YouTube, everything with YouTube and good good happened right after that. And I was already on the come up a little bit. But honestly, I give a lot of the credit to YouTube, because in playing YouTube golf, because it's a perfect space to be able to work on things and really build confidence without risking too much, if that makes sense. Like I'm not sitting here paying $1,500 to go into a mini tour event to go work on stuff. and try to build confidence in a tournament
Starting point is 00:41:47 because that's just very hard to do, as you know. If you're not going to a tournament confident, like you're probably not going to play well. So YouTube kind of gave me the perfect space to play a lot of golf under enough pressure because there's a camera. So you can definitely expose you a little bit because there's still some nerves knowing
Starting point is 00:42:03 that a million people are going to watch this video or whatever it is. But it's a perfect kind of playground to be able to work on things and build confidence throughout the whole process. And even when I started with Good Good, I wasn't hitting at my driver or anything like I am now. It took about six months of really building the confidence.
Starting point is 00:42:21 And finally, finally I just found myself very confident with the driver. It wasn't like a pinpointed like, okay, now I'm good. Now I'm hitting the driver great. It just was a slow build. And all of a sudden I was like, damn, I feel like I can hit every fairway and swing as hard as I want now.
Starting point is 00:42:35 And I feel great over the ball. So I think it's a matter of, you know, for people listening, if you're struggling with it, I think you have to find whether it's going to lesson or whatever, or find the main keys in your swing that give you issues and what you need to do to fix those, you know,
Starting point is 00:42:52 and then grind it on the range, but also go to the course a lot as much as you can and really work on it as much as can on the course because that's where confidence is built. You know, even when I had the driver yet, I could go on the range and hit, you know,
Starting point is 00:43:03 20 straight drivers in a row and be fine, but then as soon as they're on the course, it would go everywhere. So try to get a little pressure on it by going on the course, seeing a fair way, having to hit a fairway, and try to build your confidence. through that. It's a messed up game. It's a messed up game that we play. Let me ask you this, do 2026. PGA Tour comes to you hypothetical here. We're going to give you a PGA tour card, Brad.
Starting point is 00:43:24 No signature events, but you get the rest of the season, all the events, however many you want to play. But you got to give up YouTube golf and Good Good. Would you take that? I'd say, man, I mean, I'd say if I knew Good Good was in the back pocket. Yeah, after the next year, if it went wrong, if it didn't go well. If I knew good good was like, hey, it doesn't go right. You know, you can always come back, then 100%. If not, then I genuinely don't know. Because it's a, I mean, as you know, it's a risk.
Starting point is 00:43:56 There's so many good players. There's so much, you have to obviously play well, but there's obviously a lot of luck involved to playing well at the right times. To be able to win a tournament, you have to get a little lucky throughout the week. And I mean, I genuinely don't know. If I had to, like, fully give up YouTube full time, I don't know if I would take that risk. because I truly am so happy doing what I'm doing right now.
Starting point is 00:44:18 It's, it's playing, I'm playing golf all the time, which I love the game of golf. I'm playing well, which is obviously fun. I'm getting to compete still here and there. Obviously not in like true,
Starting point is 00:44:28 true tournaments, but, you know, still going to compete for, and I think YouTube's going to keep going that way. There's more tournaments for money. And it's just, it's just no,
Starting point is 00:44:37 it's so much less stress. I mean, the golf grind, the pro golf grind is just full of stress, especially when you're not playing well. And, it's it's just life just seems more fun these days and it was when I was doing pro golf so it's definitely I think if if I knew good good was in the back burner I'd definitely give it a try for a year
Starting point is 00:44:56 if I'd fully give up YouTube then I might to think about that one because I mean YouTube space has been very helpful for me and it's been it's it's done a lot for me yeah I mean two tournaments this year made $453,000 so that doesn't suck and that doesn't count all the other stuff behind Scottie, but not a whole lot of other guys. I'll say this. If the CJ Cup, Byron Nelson doesn't give you a spot right there in Dallas next year. I'm not sure what we're doing. Yeah, I mean, you tell them, not me.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Okay, I'll do it. We'll get on the horn. I'll take 5% of what you make at Craig Ranch because that golf course is built for you. Deal, I'm in. That course will be a good on phone. You agree. There it is. And then you'll have the good, good event in Austin.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Yeah. That's awesome for you guys. Congratulations on pulling that off. You guys got Brick-Barrick coming too. That's sweet. but are you going to, is it for sure you're going to get a spot in Austin? I mean, I feel like you got to be. It's not for sure.
Starting point is 00:45:48 Yeah, it's not for sure. I do because I'm playing in the big break with Sean as well. And then we'll have, I guess, 10 others. Don't quote me on that. I don't know exactly how many are going to be in it, but we're all going to be competing for one of the spots. And so I don't know exactly what, I mean, I think, I don't know if we're trying to see if one of us wins it or the big break or not
Starting point is 00:46:08 or what we're doing. But hopefully I do get one of the, those spots in that event and that'd be awesome i mean barton creek is an unbelievable spot the cany's course down there we were we were down in austin for the announcement we played some did some videos out there and that course is unbelievable so um we're super pumped for it obviously it's been in the talks for a long time i think for nine or ten months now and i wasn't part of those talks it's all kind of of higher up so good good matt kendrick the CEO and and all those guys but they did a hell of a job on getting the deal done because getting you know it's not it's not as easy as just going to the pjure and
Starting point is 00:46:41 we want to sponsor this event and, you know, let's get it going. It's there's a lot of work behind the scenes and they did a great job. And, and yeah, we're excited for it, whether, you know, hopefully I'm playing. But even if I'm not, just being down there and being a part of it all will be great. And hopefully we need some big names and do a fall event and really make it, make it a special event. Yeah, bring a different audience. That's for sure. That's what, I mean, we want on the PGA tour is to bring this younger, different audience that y'all have and get more of them involved in professional golf as well.
Starting point is 00:47:09 when y'all do these matches and stuff, is there one you haven't played yet that you're like, hey, this would be my dream match? Like against someone? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I've tried to get Scotty and he's, he, Scotty's, because I know Scotty forever. And, you know, we started playing. I think we played our first tournament together when I was six and he was seven. And so we've known each other for forever.
Starting point is 00:47:33 We've traveled together in junior golf and all that. But he's a tough one just because he does not care anything at all. about social media. Like he is the most anti- YouTube golfer. I'm not saying he hates YouTube golf, but he just doesn't care about social media whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:47:48 And so he's a hard one. Like, I'm wanting to get him in for an 18-home match or something. He's just, I just don't think he cares to be, he doesn't care to have clips on social media or get followers or followers or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:48:00 So, but Scotty's definitely one I want to. Sam Burns, as good buddies with him. We're trying to figure out of time to go do a film here in the wintertime possibly. so I want to just play against any pros I can. Luckily, I do have a lot of connections through the guys I play with junior golf that are now on the PJ tour.
Starting point is 00:48:18 But I just love the competitive golf. 1V1s, 18 holes, stroke play, you know, maybe throw some money on it so you wins. Like, that's just, that's what I live for. So I want to go play against the best and see how I do. Is there any one guy from the Internet Invitational that has you just a little scared? I'd say Frankie rigs yeah yeah yeah I'd say
Starting point is 00:48:46 I'd say the Brian bro's in Kwan I mean I'd say all because I mean they're they're in the same boat I mean you all know it's once you get to that kind of top level and golf once you're whatever your handicap is gets to the six rain plus six or whatever it's like any given day anybody could win you know the the differences are so minuscule. Obviously, some guys might go through better stretches than others of playing really good golf. But, I mean, obviously, the Brian Bros have done pro golf. Wesley's won a PJ Tour event. Kwan's won a PJ Tour China event. I played with him at OU. He's obviously a very good
Starting point is 00:49:18 player. So I'd say those three guys, you know, from the, unless I'm missing someone, Peter Finch. I thought the Peter Finch guy was, I'd never seen his action before. He can move it. Yeah, he's good. He's really good. We played with him, I guess, like, two years ago, over in, uh, at Royal Turun. And that was my first time. And he didn't play. very well that day. But then right before the internet invitation, he played with us in Arkansas for a week for a good good week. And that was the really first time I'd seen him play like multiple days in row
Starting point is 00:49:45 and where he played well. And he can move the ball. He can hit it a long ways and he's got really good action. So he's another one. I think, you know, kind of those four guys, unless I'm just completely missing someone. It's just like right now, I think I'd give myself the odds just because I am playing really good golf right now.
Starting point is 00:50:03 but it's also the differences are just so minuscule that any given day, any five of us could win if we were playing a, you know, five-some out there. My money's on you. I begotcha is the betting favorite as well. Last question for me on the big break. Have you picked the contestants and how are you picking them if you haven't? I have no saying at all. So I don't know. I think last I heard, I think golf channel is picking them.
Starting point is 00:50:26 I could be completely wrong on that on who I heard that from. So me and Sean obviously are in it. but I have no say and who else plays. I think I'm not for sure if that's a golf channel thing or if that's a good, good thing or what. But I think we're obviously trying to pick very good golfers that are in that kind of, you know, many-tour range guys who were kind of like me and Sean, who were just playing major events, couldn't quite get up and get status or get up to that next level.
Starting point is 00:50:54 And obviously, given the chance of their big break. So I think there's going to be a lot of really good players that you, you know, maybe have heard of, maybe not have heard of, and they're going to have a chance to go out there and, you know, get some TV time and shine. And I'm excited. Obviously, big break. There's some, you know, janky little challenges, flop wall and, you know, the glass break and all that that are just fun. And obviously, you know, don't know what the format's exactly going to be, but it's going to be fun to see all of us try those challenges and do some cool matches against each other and all that.
Starting point is 00:51:24 So I'm pumped for it. It's going to be fun. I think we're filming down there for like three weeks straight at Horseshoe Bay and can't wait for it. It's going to be awesome. Dude, big break was hot in the streets back in the day. There's some good personalities on that show. Yeah, it was awesome. Just don't do what Chi-Chi did in the grass break.
Starting point is 00:51:40 Yeah, watch the nuts, dog. Just be careful. I wore a cup that day. Protect yourself at all times. Seriously, Brad, congrats on everything. You, good, good, all of YouTube golf just absolutely crushed it with this internet invitational. It was a lot of fun to watch, man.
Starting point is 00:51:53 We're happy for you. And we look forward to see what's next. Yeah, I appreciate it. Thank you for having me on. And, yeah, next time in Scottsdale, I'll hit you guys up. and we can go play a little round together. We'll do that for sure. All right, that was Brad Dawkey, joining us on subpar, man.
Starting point is 00:52:08 Guy's so freaking good. I mean, everyone in that field just toots his horn the whole way around the golf course, but he deserves it. He seriously's got the game to play on the PGA tour, in my opinion. I had a chance to play with him last year. I'm very interested to see what he does going forward,
Starting point is 00:52:22 whether it's focus on the YouTube golf or do we give it another run? Which is going well, by the way. But those full swing yips, he used to have, those driver yibs, they ain't in there. gone. They ain't in there anymore. He looks good and I'm pretty sure you can get a look
