Subpar - Rich Beem Interview: Battling Tiger Woods to win the PGA Championship, snubbing David Letterman

Episode Date: January 25, 2022

On this week's episode of GOLF's Subpar, Major Champion Rich Beem joins former PGA Tour pro Colt Knost and jicky jack legend Drew Stoltz for an exclusive interview from Grayhawk Golf Club. The Sky Sports golf analyst talks battling Tiger Woods down the stretch of his PGA Championship victory, abandoning his golf aspirations to sell electronics at one point, and which young Tour pro he thinks gets it.

All right, hello world. Welcome back to Golf Subpar. Colt-nosed Drew Stoltz. Slees, what a week it was at the American Express Championship for Hudson Swoffer. By the way, future guests of Golf Subpar. 100%. Just picked up his third PGA tour win. I think it's the year of the dogs, bud.

What gives you that indication? God of mighty. I mean, shit going pretty good for the boys down there in Georgia. Just take the whole state and lump them into it, too. The Braves won the World Series. Hawks will probably find a way to win the NBA championship. probably scoop a few in free agency. Everything's going right.

Hudson Swoffer wins. Russell Henley, damn there, did it in Hawaii. Matthew Stafford, looking pretty good down in L.A. in the conference championship game. I mean, yeah, the dogs are barking. They're barking. They are barking, no doubt about it. But, man, what a final round.

64, capped off a little eagle on 16, 20-footer for Birdie on 17, and then a clutch, eight-footer for par to get the job done. 23 under, like I said, his second win there at PGA West. something about that place. He loves it. He goes out early in the winter, rinse a place at the hideaway, which I know you're very familiar with. And, man, Palm Springs is a second home for him. Yeah, dude, I think that going down there early, just getting camped out when you're East Coast guy, if you're going to play Hawaii, it's like go to Georgia to Hawaii,

then back, I guess just a lot of travel. A handful of those Georgia guys, or at least the island guys, go out there and camp in Palm Springs, got to set up shop, stay out there for the holidays, makes Hawaii super easy. It's just a little trip then. They come back and do it over there. And whatever it is, he's got to figure out. But man, it got interesting for a while there. After that bogey, he kind of, he took the lead by two after 14 with the birdie. Then he

comes back, bogey's 15. At that point when he walked off the green headed to the 16T, seven guys within one shot of him. And the 16 coming down, as short as it was playing yesterday, that's a very eagle bull hole. There have been a number of them beforehand. And damned if he didn't step up and just go, I mean, driver seven iron into that hole, that's

different. That is moving it, and that shot was just painting the flag the entire way. Makes that bigel and then goes the 17. A little tuggy, maybe perhaps off the teeth, aiming left to that flag. Probably not what he's looking for, but it gets it up there, rolls that in and from then. It makes 18 a little bit easier. But even that little, like, what, do you have, eight feet coming back on the 72nd after he ran it by?

Hogi's sitting out there in the fairway with, like, a wedge or something like that. He had to think at that point, like, this is the one to win it. Because he could easily knock a wedge in there and all of a sudden you're a playoff. No doubt about it. And by the way, I got a little shout out real quick if you're watching on YouTube to our hoodies. We're rocking. Yes. You got sleazy bird.

I got gravy bird. The whole flock is here. What else do you need? Make sure you go to that golf.com pro shop and pick you out some. These things are incredible. The boys are a little hungover from the weekend. You know, they're out of time. I'll be honest.

I'm not hungover personally. I just got off the plane from the DR Dominican Republic. I was down there covering the Latin American amateur. By the way, Dominican Republic is sneaky a lot further away than you think it is. But what a week it was. I was down there. Aaron Jarvis, freshman UNLV gets the job done. Shoot seven under par.

Books his ticket to the Masters and the Open Championship at St. Andrews. he's from the Cayman Islands. No one from the Cayman Islands has ever played in the Masters or the Open Championship. What is it, two golf courses? I believe there's two golf courses. Two golf facilities in all of the Cayman Islands. I think one is nine holes.

Is that correct? One's nine, one's 18? We're not big fact, guys. Yeah, we'll just say that. There's not a lot of golf in the Cayman Islands. And now Aaron Jarvis putting him on the map. I mean, 19 years old freshman. We got any tournaments first week, April?

If so, won't be in the lineup. Going to be playing a little deal called the Masters. I mean, what a hell of a deal down there. That would be fun, though. I mean, those tournaments are, do you throw a freaking master's invite on the lines at an amateur term? You're going to see some gagging down the stretch and you got it, didn't you? Yeah. There was.

There was. De La Fuente, my man from Mexico. De La Fuente. Three putted from 30 feet for par on the last. I missed a playoff. I shot. Miss a little two and a half foot or slees. And this is what I tell, you know, when we're playing at home with our buddies here, you know, a lot of guys are scooping puts and all this, waiting on you to say, that's good.

Listen. I happen. I'm a big proponent. of having to put everything out. And that was a perfect example. And this is one, 95% of the guys you play with would have knocked this back to you.

But obviously, playing at home at West Brock for some cash is a little different than a master's invite. But you see some weird stuff. I saw one of the craziest shots I've ever seen. Kid from Argentina, Marzilio,

going for the green and two on 18, par five, had a five iron in, flags it, but it's coming up a little short, lands on a sprinkler head, which is, my God, this is about to be a disaster. Game over.

Nine miles in the air. drops down, spins somehow still, seven feet for Eagle, ends up lipping it out to get into a playoff. It's how good these kids are these days, dude. They can land it on sprinklers and still spin it back. What's going? The dude's heart had to sink when it landed on the, it probably looked good in the air,

and then it lands in the air for 17 seconds, it felt like, and then somehow give himself a good look for Ig piece to get into a playoff. But yeah, you see some, especially AMD, you see pros gagging down the stretch all the time. You get Ambers in there, like it's either Augusta, you get all this stuff, or you get nothing. You should get a runner-up finish. Put it on your resume.

It doesn't matter. It doesn't get you anything. Different. But, yeah, we'll see the young man, Mr. Jarvis down there at Augusta. But it was a lot of fun down there. I got to meet the legend. If you ever watch ESPN Deportes, which I do. The legend, John Sutcliffe, who is kind of like their on-field reporter, the guy who made

famous Monday night. Yes, I know him. He's got high-energy, dude. He's very high energy. Love him. Got to spend some time with him, have a couple tequila with him. What a dude. It was a cool trip, man.

What the USGA, the R&A and Augusta National is doing for amateur golf is phenomenal. I'm here for it. Yeah, it's cool seeing these guys get to tee it up. And we've got Keda Nakajima now in the world number one. Damn there looks like a pro just played it out in Hawaii out there. We're going to see him over there in Augusta as well. So, I mean, you put these things up, man. So it used to just be the U.S. amateur now there's a handful of them out there doing it.

And speaking of playing for fun, but with a lot of nerves online. I had a big weekend this week, dude. We had a hate match. A bunch of former subparred guests in the house this past weekend while you were out of town. teed it up on Friday. Myself, Keith Mitchell was in the house, Joel Damon in the house, Stephen Yeager in the house,

Ricky Barnes, Bryce Mulder, all those guys other than Yeager been on. We'll get Yeager on coming up to, but we had a five-on-five hate match. Team Slees, Mitchell, Kittleson. We went down to Damon and Yeager. I'm starting to learn that it takes

current tour players to get you out to the golf course. This had been set up a little bit in advance. You're starting to turn into Ben Hayes a little bit. Yeah, there needs to be no pickleball, you know, that's an alternative, I guess option out there.

I mean, that was, dude, we had 10 dudes out there. We had a great game. Count three best balls, all birdies count. We got clip. We got clip. Sad face. Keith, hitting it nice, though. If you're looking for a little play at Torrey Pines,

hit it nice, we got them on some claws on the back nine, started loose it up, finish it up with a little eag piece on 18, which was nice for the squad. Yeah. All right. Well, I like that. Well, I'm sure there was a lot of Calloway drivers in that group, especially the new Callaway Rogue ST driver.

These new drivers are the company's fastest, most stable drivers ever. With industry leading innovation, that create a breakthrough in performance. I'm actually heading out there next week's Leeds to get all dialed in. I'm going to be smashing it when I get home. Yeah, get that thing illegalified if they can't shave their face down. They got an all-new tungsten speed cartridge that has specific weight up to 26 grams, low and deep in the head for increased speed, stability, and high MOI.

The construction, shaping, and positioning of their jailbreak speed frame promotes even more speed and stability. It has the industry leader in artificial intelligence. They have lowered spin and increased forgiveness in their face. base optimization formula. Rogue was the most played at the Century Tournament of Champions this year. To find out more, be sure to visit CallawayGolf.com slash rogue drivers. They got four models. And Sleaze, I heard you were hitting in the desert a little bit.

So maybe it's time for you to make the switch to Callaway. We got four different drivers for you to choose from. We got the Rogue ST Max. Calloway's best combination of distance and forgiveness fits the majority of players. Got the Rogue ST Max D, dedicated draw model for players who need the most shape correction. The Rogue ST Max L.S. Stronger trajectory, lower spin and more neutral ball flight. That's kind of where I'm thinking the Sleeves should lean. And then also we got the Rogue ST triple diamond LS, a compact low spin head for better players. Once again, visit CallowayGolf.com

slash rogue drivers to learn more and figure out which Calloway driver is best for you. All right, please, do we, I mean, our guest this year is in 2022, well, let's just go over. We got Kevin Kisner. Okay. We got John McGinnis. Check. And now we have Rich Bean. We're bringing the personalities in 2020.

We're fine dudes that are for the brand. You know what I mean? They like to get out there. We like to use get amongst it as kind of our little like slogan or whatever. These dudes embody that to the fullest, all of them. Good dudes, great golfers. Also, don't take it too. Like to have a good time on the side.

Rich Beam, major champion, won the PGA at Hazeltine, battling Tiger down the stretch. one of the greatest celebrations ever in the history of major championship golf, the shimmy, but found his way into TV now. He's getting ready to go play the PGA Tour Champions. Just one of my favorite personalities in the game of golf, no surprise that he's killed it at TV. Yeah, he's great with that.

He's fun loving everyone likes him. He was that exact same way on tour. By the way, not only as major championship, but I was on property, we get into this as well. The winner of one of the craziest finishes in the history of the PGA tour period, 2002 International Castle Pines, where Steve Lowry was just doing weird shit all over. over the property and ended up having to, Rich had to duck a 12-footer or so on the last hole to

win that thing. It's nuts. He had a little stretch there late in 2002 summertime. All right. Well, let's get to it. Here's Rich Beam on Golf Subpar. All right. We are out here at beautiful Greyhawk Golf Club, the first major of the year, I would say, the Johnny O Twin Finn, and we are blessed to have an actual major champion here with us today. Three-time winner on the PJ Tour, broadcast extraordinaire, incredible dancer. Am I missing anything? house? You know what? I actually think you guys kind of lost a bet by having

me here because seriously, you guys are extraordinary. I've been a big fan of your show for many years. I've told Colt this many times. Coat, no, it's been a very fun day here at the Twin Fin, but you guys are amazing. What you guys

do, having me on here, man? Well, first off. That's the most flattering. We really appreciate it, but keep going. Let's stop it, but keep. I will. I'll keep going as long as you want me you. No, you are the best. First off, you are a major champion. You're a loyal listener. You have one of the best personalities in the game of golf. So why the hell wouldn't we have you on? I can't believe it took this long. Well, I, because I don't pass through Phoenixes, you know, that many times.

You're busy and, you know, traveling around the world. Now a CBS full-time on-course analyst. Dude, let's give a big round of a plug. Yeah, clap. Thank you. Thank you, Rick. Seriously. God, that's the nicest intro we've ever had. You know what? I just do this for an hour. Say something about me, Rich. I think I should be interviewing you two derelicts.

Ask us anything, dude. We're an open book. So tell me last night what happened in your house. Oh. Never mind. Nope. Yeah. We'll leave that alone.

Yeah, we'll actually touch on that maybe before the show. No, you're good, brother. I'm over it. It's coming gone. But why wouldn't we, our big thing, you know, kind of our little catchphrase, get amongst it. That's the kind of what we embody. That's our brand.

Nobody, I would say, embraces that more than you. You've been getting amongst it for a long time. I think that this life, you get one kind of go around. And if you're not out here having some fun with it all, then what are you doing? God bless you. The three of us live life very similar. Except he has two young kids and years are grown. I don't have any.

Well, there are some people in this world that should not replicate. Good point. Reproduce, replicate, whatever. Reproduce, whatever you want to call it. It's, you know, let's just. just make our own words up right now. We're from Texas. Yeah.

Well, I want to talk a little bit about Texas because I'm fascinated. You were born in Phoenix, but you grew up in El Paso. Yes. Which, homily Trevino, the legend. But I need to know what golf was like for you, because I've heard there's some crazy gambling games down in El Paso. Yeah. There were definitely some crazy gambling games in El Paso when I shoot up there in, well,

I was there for a little bit before that, but 1996 is when I really got my first taste. of what the El Paso country club scene was like. And there was two games, a Wednesday and a Friday game, and you better bring it. If you don't bring it, then don't bother showing up. You know, here's the funny thing is it wasn't like it was a massive amount of money, but unless you played good, you were going to lose eight days a week. And the games there were very simple. It was a is a quota.

You had a partner, a high and low hat, and you just pull the golf balls out, and away you went. And it taught me how to make birdies more than anything else. And I think that's what, you know, if you don't make birdies as a professional golfer, then what are you doing? You're going to go sell cell phones. You're going to start a podcast. And podcasts and podcasts. And you'll work for Sky Sports. There's no doubt about it.

But it, you know, what it taught me more than anything else was how to make birdies and how to go low and not be afraid of going low. You know, the money was kind of secondary of it, but listen, it was really good after a while. And when you don't have any money at the time, we've all been in these games where you're like, maybe it's not the biggest number for everybody, but it's a hell of a big number for me. Listen, I matters. Listen, I remember my, my, the first year I worked there, I was making $312 and like $1,000 and like $1,000. 48 cents every two weeks. That's solid. Listen.

To me, dude, I have got it going on. An EP? Listen, I had the world by the tail because I had $100 rent. Wow. What did you live in? The market was different. Well, I had, I had a guy by the name of James Dennis, who was a lawyer in town. And he had just, I mean, he just, he had a room that he just, he rented out to me.

And between that and macaroni, cheese and pasta and all that and then a bar called asatunas. Yeah, I mean, I lived high on the hog. Yeah. High on the hog. Go to the gambling games real quick. You're playing, I mean, there's a quota game, high, low hat, all that. So who, you were obviously in the low hat? Who else was in these games? I'm assuming you had some decent amateurs, some maybe higher handicapped. Were there other pros involved in this?

Yeah, we had JP Hayes, Ryan Hightella. Yeah, I forgot. Who else was there at that time? There's a couple other pros that would come, come blazing in. The one thing that we did have, though, is that any pro that would come through town, whether it was a former U-TEP player or just a friend of a friend, they always had to play to the lowest handicap of whoever was there. And in 1998, I was the low handicap.

I was a plus seven. That's tough to win, a quota. I had to shoot 64 every time I teed it up, and I made money. And when guys would show up, like, well, we want to play, and the pro Cameron Donovan said, you got to play, yep, Sarge. You had to play to a plus seven. And the pros are like, let's.

Never mind. Seriously. Yeah. I wonder what a war is. That's exactly right. And they were like, what do you mean I going to play to a plus seven? Because listen, my assistant pro is a plus seven. If you're not going to play to a plus seven, don't bother coming.

and I can't tell you how many guys decided not to show up. I mean, that's a lot of shot. That's tough to give back to it. It's a hard deal. I mean, you've played El Paso, yeah, a country club a few times. You know,

if you know how to play the golf course, you know, 64 is not that difficult, but you still got to go produce it. Still 64 and 664. You still got to, yeah, you still got to go back just a second

because you obviously, you turn pro and then you stepped away from the game to sell cell phones. And what else did you sell up there in Seattle? Stereos. Car, stereo, cell phones. Listen, how did you choose that? Did you just have a jacket that you opened up?

What do you need? I got cell phones, like a stereo. Pretty much, yeah. Upcaps. What do you want? You know, I probably still have the jacket, too. No, I, so even back up a little bit quicker. So after college, I decided that I wanted to go be in the golf business because my dad,

longtime pro. I just wanted to be around golf because this is all I've known. And so I went to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, took. good job at Westroho Country Club and met this gal, got engaged, went out to Seattle with her, just, you know, chasing around because, you know, being in love. And, and so she, so I went out there. And I, the first job I ever interviewed at that I can remember, I ever interviewed at was for Magnolia High Phi in Seattle, Washington. And I still to this day have no understanding why they hired me because I must have been a drithering like I want a job and that was it and they hired me

you could sell you're hired I listen I can sell anything man I believe that what would you like me to sell you right now you got any more stereos laner I'm actually in the market for a lot of electronics right now I need a lot of you don't say you don't say you don't say you know what listen we'll leave that one a low sleeves man I knew you had a rough morning I need a lot of things I'm glad you brought that up because you got up to Seattle. That story is kind of well documented. You know, when you came out, yeah, there's just backstory. He's selling cell phones.

He's selling stereos. But you turned pro in 94. Give me what led you to the point where like, I need to do something else other than golf. Where were you playing? What were you doing? Listen, me turning pro in 1994 was literally waking up after a probably a huge binge with my boys in Las Cruces, New Mexico, say, you know what? I don't want to be an amateur anymore.

I'm going to be professional golfers for us in my life. I'm turning professional right now. That's how I did it. That's exactly kind of how it was. And, you know, turning professional, I mean, anybody can. Yeah, you just do it. Except for cold because, I mean, he procrastinated. Yeah, he takes a long time.

He's slow. It took like two weeks. Actually, he did it too early. I did it too early. I skipped the masters. Yeah. that was a bad idea well let let let let we won't go to that right yet yeah because i'm not interviewing me i'm interviewing you i know but i want to interview you later on about that um but i mean that's how

it was back then and i knew that i was going to be around the game forever and a day because my dad was and i i love and miss my dad um but i remember when i was a kid we lived out at white sands missile range just outside of the Las Cruces. And I would go out to the golf course the morning. And my dad would be out there mowing greens, fairways. After that, he'd come in and flip burgers,

pour beers, and give lessons, rewip rewip driver shafts, things like that back the day when you had to do that. That's club pro. That's club pro. My dad was the ultimate club pro. So this game, it's

been instilled to me my entire life. This is the only thing that I've ever known in my world is golf. You don't think Omar, your SD went about club pro life the way your dad did? Who can fold a shirt better? So my dad was an amazing club pro. I don't know who you were talking about. Okay, perfect. Edit that one. Perfect. Edit that one out.

It's a question, though, because you stumble out of bed and say, I'm turning pro. You got to play in some stuff to turn pro. So I assume you're playing state opens. What got to the point where you're like, I hate this, I'm going to go to Seattle and now and just give up golf for a bit? You know, it wasn't, I never hated the game. And in fact, I just, you know, I think that honestly, I was just chasing, I was chasing a girl. I chased a girl out to Seattle and decided that, you know, I want to do something different. And it wasn't anything that I disliked about the game.

I just, you know, I want to do something different. And so we went out there and honestly, funny enough, the first two places I went to go try and get a job were at golf courses, Seattle Golf Club. And I forget the name of the other one. And no, they wouldn't hire me. And that's fine. Listen, it was great. I mean, it actually worked out so good for me because I just, I'm a golf junkie like y'all. I mean, listen, this is the only thing I know.

And so to step away from the game and to actually have a, I don't say real job, but to actually have a, to clock in with my magnolia, hi-fi card that I would swipe in and out every day. Interesting. It's a shock to the system. And then you come back to the game. And like, you know, we like to bag on our buddies and stuff, but your buddy J.P. Hayes wins out on tour. Yeah. And it was, was at a moment like, wow, I can kick the shit out of him.

I need to be out there playing. Yeah. You know, so what happened was in, I think it was when Stankowski won in, I think it was 1990s, no sort of, 1995. He won in Atlanta. And I just, you know what, I needed to kick the rest off these golf clubs and go out and hit some golf balls. And it's not like I was best friends with Paul.

I just knew him from U-Tip when I was playing it in New Mexico State. and it just kind of gave me a little bit of motivation to go out there and maybe get back into the game a little bit. And when I moved to El Paso and took the job there and I was playing golf against JP quite a bit, and JP was a hell of a player, two-time winner on the PGA tour, Buick and John Deere, I just, you know, I was in awe of him because he really was a, his short game, is to die for. But what happened was is that I started beating him like a lot. Like a lot.

And listen, and JP will kind of say the same thing. Like, I was not scared of beating it. And usually when you teed up against a, you know, when I was a younger guy, teeing it up against a PGA professional tour player, like, crawling a hole. I had never crawled in a hole against him. In fact, it motivated me to just absolutely go out. there and try and beat him as bad as I could. And it was, that was the best learning experience I could ever have had to, to motivate me to where I was now, or where I am now.

When you came back after playing JP and that gives you the, like, I'm beating this guy. If he's winning out there, I can at least play. Everyone knows you got back on tour, but how did you go back about getting your car to like, okay, I'm back in this, let me go to Q school. That story kind of hasn't been told. Yeah. So what happened was is that in 1998, Funny, I think it was in 1997. If you won the section championship as an assistant pro, you got automatically into second stage. That's nice.

It's at the first stage, right? But that changed in 1998 for whatever reason. So I went to section championships in Socorro, New Mexico, and I won by 14. Okay. Good playing. Not a bad deal. Good round.

Good, yeah, not playing. Good tournament. But when I won, I thought that I got into second stage, and I didn't. So I had to go to first stage. So first stage, ironically enough, was out here at Talking Stick. And I went out and I shot 67 in the final round to make it through. And second stage was in Houston at Deerwood. Yep.

And I don't even remember what I shot. Ten cup. That's what I used to go down there. Yeah. I think I shot like one or two under the final round there to finish top ten. And then finals was out in Palm Springs. And I was, Mike, we were won at that year. But I was one of four players, I think, to shoot every round under par. Very nice. So first stage was the grind, though. Did you need the 67 to get out? Oh, yeah. Absolutely. In fact, on after Saturday's round, I haven't. know where I was at. After Saturday's round, one of my dearest close friends, Kirk Hanson, lives here in town. We went out that night and kind of tied one on a little bit because I was thinking that I'm not going to get out of first stage and went out there. And I think, funny enough, I think I shot like even par on the front nine. And then I finished like 500 of the back nine. I mean, I don't know that, but I know I played really good the back nine. And when I walked into the scoring

area, I was shocked. I'm like, are you sure? Like, really? I made it through the second stage and it goes, yeah, you're in. I'm like, I started laughing. I started laughing because like, this shouldn't be happening. This should not be happening to me. Well, that's what the thing is, then you make it through all the way

through finals, you get your PGA tour card. You win on the PGA tour. Like, was it just kind of like, holy hell, everything's happening so fast? You know, yeah, that's actually a, that's a very valid point. Everything happens so fast because it shouldn't happen this way. It should not go from me making

$13,000 a year working at El Paso Country Club to winning the Kemper Open in my eighth start on the PGT tour and making a half million dollars. This should not happen. This is not real world stuff. This is fictional.

But yet that's exactly what happened. You know it's interesting because, you know, it's interesting because I don't know why it happened this way. Marco Mirro, though, gave me a great insight to it. He goes, you know what? Sometimes

things happen so quickly, you can't appreciate him. But he also said, take advantage of it. And that's exactly what happened. I sat there, and after I won the Kemper and I had a couple of not so good years after that, though, it's, you know, when you have an

opportunity to play, at the highest level. You've got to take advantage of it 24-7. No doubt. He did. And then 2002 rolls around. And I want to go to one of my favorite events of all time because I was actually on property for this.

2002 International. Were you really? I stand up. Yeah. On property for you, Richie. And, uh, for Shane Lowry.

Yeah. Well, Steve Lowry. Steve Lowry. Yeah. Shane Lowry. Shane Lauer wrote him at like 19. Yeah.

I like them both. That's okay. But I was out there, the shenanigans that was going on. I didn't get to see. the double eagle on set but i mean we can we can rewind i mean he got up and down from the lake on 11 for birdie he holds out the wedge on 15 for eagle for 16 or 16 the double eagle on set all of a like you're looking good you're sitting pretty and then all of a sudden holy shit i might not win this were you were aware i know what happened on 18 but were you aware leading up this like this guy

wasn't even on the front page and now of a sudden he's got 12 footer to win exactly um so So, yes, all of that and more. I'll never forget standing on the 18th T-box, and I have a nine-point lead. And in that point, crazy, too. It's crazy. Listen. Listen. And there is a sign in the locker room.

PGA Tour says, we expect competitors to put their best foot forward, meaning you have to try on every single. Like if you have a nine point lead and you're in the final group and everybody else is done, you just can't pick up your golf ball and walk. Yeah, and say I'm done. You have to hit a shot. You know, you can hit 14 golf balls out of balance. I always wanted that, like the stable. Because it's a stable foot format. Exactly.

I wanted some guy to have the tournament, you know, when they used to do it or still do it at Reno Tile. Mathematically, it's over. Him sit down on 18 and say, bring the trophy right here. Hit it backwards. And that's, and that's exactly why the PG-Tor did want that you got to put your best foot forward. and try, right? So I'm sitting there on the 18th T-box, and I'm playing with Mark Brooks,

and I am grinning earlobe to earlobe, because I'm thinking, I got this thing wrapped up, and I drill it right down the middle, and by the time I get to my second shot, I'm only a point-up. You heard the roar, because the roar was nuts. I can hear it from way across. I heard the roar,

And David Faradie has been with, was with me when I won the Kemper, when I won the International, and when I won the PGA. So, but at the International, we're walking down the 18th Fairway. We hear the roar. And I go, what happened? I go, Craig Barlow made three? And you go, no. I said, Lowry make three? You go, no.

I go, what I mean? Lowry made two. And I look at him. So my lead is one? The audio listeners, that was a middle finger one. That was the middle finger one. Single digit, yeah, number one. And he goes, yep, and I'm going, shh.

You've got to be kidding. You've got to be kidding. So you found out in the fairway, though. You knew because the roar happened. I mean, by the time I hit this T shot to the second shot, I mean, halfway down the fairway, my nine point lead went to a one point lead. That's so crazy. It's the wildest tournament of all time.

That is the greatest thing about that. And that golf course. specifically for it. It allows for that type of shit to have. You probably had your victory speech already like, I got to think, this sponsor of this guy. You know, funny enough, I mean, I don't think that anybody ever has a victory speech, you know, and I'm sure you didn't when you were winning your amateur and a lot. I never got to give them rich. I wasn't talking to you. I was actually going to go. No, I was telling you about me though. Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. No, it's okay. I had a lot. I still have them ready. I'm sorry. Anyways, so yeah, I didn't, I didn't have anything. I'm, when you're

walking down the fairway, you literally are just like, you're still like this until you, once you get done, then it's okay to just like, you know, lose your mind. But I, seriously, I will never forget when I understood that I went from a nine point lead to a one point. It's one of the wildest finishes in PJ tour history. I mean, it's just, I was just like, unbelievable. And so when, when I finished out, went up. and signed my scorecard and then came back down and I saw I saw Lowry and he had this 12 footer.

He had a great shot in 18. He hit a great shot. Penn's front left. He hit left of it. He had this put straight up the hill and there's no reason in the world he should have missed this. No reason. And to this day, I'm pretty sure he'll tell you it's the best put he ever hit that never went in. And when it did not go in, it was like, oh my word, because it was.

It was, I never expected it to be that close, to be fair, when I was standing on 17 T-box, much less 18 T-box, and yet here it is. Yeah. That's one for him, I feel like he can't even be mad that he lost because it's like, oh, gosh, no. My God, hold out a life. Six irons. No, no, no, no, no.

It's just like, hey, I gave it a hell of a run. Oh, my God. I mean, she many, I mean, he threw everything, including the kitchen sink at it. But, I mean, what a great finish that was. I mean, that truly is more so. That, that to me is the tournament that I will never forget all the emotions that happen. I can remember, like, almost all of it being there. And when his ball landed at 12, you had to think in your mind, I'm sure, like, it's done.

Dude, he's hold out from everywhere. He just hold a six iron wedge up and down from the lake. This is, there's no way this doesn't go in. So the story I was told, and you'll appreciate this, is that when I made Eagle on 17, you know, this is a foregone conclusion. And the men's grill at El Paso Country Club is legendary. And somebody told JP, everybody was sitting in there, this is done.

And JP goes, yeah, this is absolutely, he's got this in the bag. When Lowry hold it on 17, JP was taking his swig out of his Miller light and fell over because he was like, not because he was drunk, because it's like, I cannot believe this just happened. Like, it was just, this is like not real. Yeah, it wasn't.

But at the end of the day, you won, you deserved to win. But we got to go two weeks forward. Yeah. Because that's when the world really got to know Rich Beam. Up at Hazel team, Chaska, Minnesota. Shout out to all the boys up there, Fernie, Ryan, all those guys. Our man over here, you know. Patrick Hunt.

Patrick Hunt, as a, you might not like him at the end of this. We'll get to that later. Are you kidding me? I mean, seriously, can you not, and y'all folks can't see this because we're on air right now, but, you know, he is, it's got some sexy hair. He's a beautiful man. Yeah. He's a beautiful man. He's a beautiful man.

Let's like the most interesting man in the world. Let's talk about Hazeltine, though. Okay. Talk to me. I mean, you got the job done, one of the best celebrations ever, but we got to talk about the final round. Because here you are. It basically comes down to a two-man race. They're on the back nine against a fellow named Tiger Woods.

Yep. Who just birdies the last four on you. Yep. A couple groups in front of you. Yep. Take it back to what you were thinking. Because obviously, we all said, Tiger Roars are different than other people's roars.

Yep. And I'm guessing you know what's going on up there. Take us through that back nine on Sunday. So, so I was playing so good that I didn't even, I didn't care who, whoever anybody else was. And I think we've all been in this, not you,

but I think we've all been in this. Damn it, Rich. Thought we had a moment earlier. We did. Not you. And we still will. We still will. But you get into this moment where when you're playing so good,

you don't know, you're almost oblivious to everything going on around you. Yes, I heard the roars coming down the stretch. And I'm not going to lie. I mean, it's not, they weren't oblivious. You heard him, but I think that I deflected it because knowing that he was playing with Fred Funk. And Fred was a great story that week Because he talked emotionally about his His brother going through rehab

And how tough it was Everything it was going on with him and his family And every time I heard the massive roars going up I got like Fred, way to go buddy Making another birdie And I knew full well that it wasn't you know Fred but you have to deflect Because if you think about

What is actually transpiring And what's going on you're going to be lost. You're going to be done. And I think that's what Tiger did best, is that he got everybody else to think and pay attention to what he was doing. And I never bought into it that week.

Listen, I buy into it 51 weeks a year, 52 weeks a year now because of what I do. But back then, it didn't bother me, and I didn't care. The roars were obvious, but I didn't pay attention to it. Do you think, obviously, you can't go back in time, but do you think it was a blessing to you that you weren't paired with him? Oh, absolutely.

I mean, there's no doubt. There's no doubt. I mean, I made a, what, an 8, 12, 10-footer on the 18th green on Saturday to get in the final group with Justin Leonard. and that was probably the biggest putt of the week for me because I was not paired with him on Sunday. And I would have been, if I had missed it, I'd been four back of Justin,

but I was only three back going in on Sunday. But four back or three back, it wouldn't have mattered. My life would have been, I truly believe, it would have been completely different. I don't think that I would have won. Have you ever been paired with them prior? If you hadn't made that? No.

So that would have been the first time. That would have been the Sunday at a major. That would have been the first time, yeah. Do you think winning just a, you're only a few weeks removed from the international at that time, being that you had, all right, you got a lot of money, you just got a two-year exemption, you got all that stuff. Check that box off. Do you think that lessened the, like the pressure for you on that Sunday? Like, I would love to win this, but if I don't, I'm still good. There's no doubt.

I, we were playing a practice round on Tuesday with a very, very boring group. It was Pat Perez, John Daly, Robert Gomez, and Fuzzy Zeller. Yeah. A couple of churchmouthed. I mean, it was, I struggled to see why you even play with these guys because there was zero gambling. Oh, no, no, right. See, those are the best stories, though. Oh, yeah. I want to, we're going to circle back to this as such.

So Fuzzy on number five, I hit driver on number five at Hayseltine, dog leg right to left. And Fuzzy goes, why are you hitting this? Why don't you two iron, eight iron? I said, Fuzzy, I just won two weeks ago. I've got 1.6 in the bank. I got a two-year exemption. I'm hitting driver everywhere. That's nice.

Yeah. Everywhere. And he laughed. And he goes, all right. And so after I won, he was one of the two different callers that called in and I did do something with the golf channel. And he called in and he goes, he goes, Beamer, my son, you were right. That's awesome.

It was, yeah. It was amazingly fun. So if Lowry makes that put on 72nd at Castle Pines, do you think you play that week differently or more nervous? No, same deal. No, listen, I couldn't, listen, at the end of the day, you can't control what somebody else does, right? You're right, though. It would have been a very bitter taste in my mouth because I shot, I think I shot 63 on Sunday at Castle Pines. And to not win, yes, it would have, yeah, it had been a little bit.

different um would i have not won the pga i don't know just have that cushion and that comfort like i know i know i i don't know i mean i i i think that i still would have gone into the pgay week with the same amount of confidence that i had when i arrive i mean i don't think that because i didn't lose i wouldn't have lost the international right somebody would have come up And beat me. And done something weird. So it is not, so it wouldn't have been like I did something wrong or I choked or I lost for whatever reason. I just didn't win.

Granted, there are so many what ifs and why not. Listen, we could talk about this for decades. But you know what? At the end of the day. Hey, you're a major champion. Chicken dinner. Things your top 20 in the world after that. A book is being written about you.

Oh, yes. Legendary, Caddy. We're not going to talk about the author because I hate that. man but the book bud sweat and teas we got on the words strong so yeah so the author followed me around for a couple of weeks back in it was in 1999 and um and you know there's a lot of stuff left out man yeah well your caddy was an absolute legend oh he which we're going to get to steve duplantis is yeah rest in peace steve de plannis legend in peace god bless love him I mean, if this was a show that we could do, as we call in Sky Sports on the red button,

where you can just kind of let things fly, we could tell some seriously funny stories. However, we're going to keep it neat and clean. I love Steve. Steve was one of those individuals that, I'll never forget, for the rest of my life, thankfully. He was with Jim Furrick for many years, caddied for me at the Kemper Open in 99. And this is one of the funniest things ever. So I think it was, is it Norelco?

The Razor? Yeah, there was. So there was a, back then there was a company. I want to say it was Norelco that they set aside. $30,000 for the caddies for the year. Okay. So for every second of airtime that the visor, the logo got on air, the caddy would get $100. Every second of airtime.

Nice. Yeah, he won all of that in the week. That's awesome. He absolutely, he actually had to get paid $45,000. That is fantastic. He knew where the camera was. He blew the entire thing out of the water. They had to make a new check for him because they only garned $30,000.

He made $45,000. That's fantastic. Hell of a deal. I mean, unbelievable. For every second and he was sitting there right next to me the entire time. Same visor as you had just said, Norelko on it. And it was just like, holy smoke. he got so much air time tell us this did you did you make more or less than that off the book

you and i made the same amount off my book really so you did just that like hey you can follow me around and talk about whatever i made the same that is ridiculous you and i made the same amount of money off my book how did you let that happen naveness yeah i listen in 1999 listen going back to it i was making 13 thousand dollars a year and 1998. Do you realize my world changed so drastically from 1998 to 19? I mean, it was unbelievable. And 90, I was so naive. You got to be the only dude then or now that I think would just, hey, follow me around, especially if a guy likes to get after it and go out and have some beers and do things like that. Hey, follow me around and write a book and just it's all good. You take care of it. You know what?

No one would do. Part of it, part of it was a lot of fun, but a part of it now looking back on it was like, man, this is kind of sneaky. I'm like, I'm not too sure I trust this guy after a while. Well taken. And, you know, but it's, when it got presented to me, I'm like, this is the greatest thing. You know, this is going to be so fun. After a while, though, you just kind of got to.

the feeling that this is not going to be that fun. And there are some hidden things in there. Like, he may not have my best interest. I was going to ask you. So final product. I'm assuming you didn't get final cut. Like, here's the book. You can edit whatever you want and take it out.

It just comes out. He gave me the galleys. So he came in the galleys. And I signed off on them. The only thing I said is like, I hate how you use all the language. you know if you if we're sitting here and we drop an f bomb there's a great context because you can hear it in our voices there is a way that we say it and how we say it when it's written it looks so much differently and that's the thing that i hated and i just thought you know what this is not good i mean i just thought you get you

need to take out a lot of these you know f bombs the the language that we were using because in the that we were having it, it was fun and funny, but when you write it, it looks completely different. Yep, it looked totally different. That's why I think it was a huge leap of faith. Just like, yeah, sure, follow me around, write whatever you want, and I trust you. And so, yeah, it was a huge leap of faith. And, but at the end of the day, same thing. You and I got paid the same amount. I think people, though, genuinely, like, there's some language in there that's bad. I think guys genuinely like to see that sign. Like, here's a non, I don't want to,

call it robot but here's a guy that does things a little different he beats to his own drum he's a regular dude just like my group of guys that we hang out with we talk the same way we do the same thing i think even though it can look bad PR wise then the vast majority of people probably read it and we're like wow beams like he's like me he's like our group he's just really good exactly but let me ask you let me put it to you this way though you know would you want to have no no no okay zero that's why i'm saying like it's the leap of faith but i think and and and looking back on it. You know, I've always said I'd write, I would love to have a second book written about about what's going on beyond this. And to be fair, I wouldn't want to get paid a single

dollar for the second book either, but I would like, I'd like to have a certain guy write it for me because I'd like to have people understand that, listen, I'm, yes, I am a degenerate to a, to a, to a point. However, there's a different side of, you. I'm, yes, I am a degenerate to a, to a side of me that is out there. And yet there was nothing like that in the book. And this guy took a, I mean, he went out there and, I think our feelings are very, kind of known for that. Yeah, it's kind of like the author, you know, the deal. That's the stick. But I think overall people like it. But I think, yeah, I think every golfer looking back on their career wishes they could have done more. I mean, you had a hell of a career, three wins, major championship.

But now you've absolutely killed it at TV. What got you in to broadcasting? Because you've been over at Sky Sports since 2015. Everybody loves you. What got you into it? I'm fortunate because of that. I think what happened, Colt, was the fact that when I was on TV, I was honest. I was brutally honest.

I didn't pull any punches. I didn't say things to make people warm and fuzzy. and I was just me. And I think that what happened was is that between the folks on TV and the writers, they put something inside of my head that said, you should be on TV. And it never entered by mind that I should ever be on TV.

But after a while, they said, listen, you'd be fantastic at doing it because you're honest. You're brutally honest. you are just a person. And so what happened was is that after a while, when I started playing poorly, a lot and a lot, I just thought, you know what, there's got to be something else out there for me.

And I could not wait to get out of the game of golf and to get on this side of the microphone and how it all came about was, and happenstance was in 2012, we were on the European tour, and missed the cut in Switzerland by a stroke again. And I went down to the TV compound on Saturday morning and said, listen, I'd like to do something with TV. And my boss now, who was a producer back then,

and he goes, do you have any experience? I said, absolutely none. And he goes, well, can't really help you. you out but go get some experience love to chat with you later on three years later work for a couple years for golf channel um doing on-course stuff and sky sports took a bigger interest in the pga tour and they let me lose and hired me up and it was been it's been amazing yeah and your your honesty is one of the reasons why people do love you on tv they love listening you because you'll say what you think but we like we've had other broadcasters on and we've had brandle note a bunch of different guys and like

Brando specifically is like, you know, my job is to criticize these guys when it's necessary. So I go, I don't want to say he goes out of his way, but he's like, I don't need to have a relationship with every guy and be buddies with these guys and be on the range and yucking it up. As a player, I feel like that's a fine line to walk. Like, I want to be buddies. I know a bunch of these guys, but I also have to be critical. What's your take on that with these young guys? You know, funny enough, I actually, I listened to your podcast that you had Brandel on.

And I actually specifically went up to him and said, you know what, you're wrong. I said, you do need to have a relationship with the guys on the driving range. You do need to be friends with them to a point because, listen, you can't judge everything that you see just by how they're hitting the golf ball, how they're swinging this and that. You have no idea whether or not, you know, this player's, you know, mother is sick. You don't have, I mean, you need to understand what is going on in these players' worlds. Because what happens inside the ropes for a player, as we all definitely know, it is partially golf related and inside your mental. But, I mean, we are not robots. if somebody in your family is not doing well,

if anything, anything off course, anything off course is going on, it's going to affect you inside the ropes and there's no getting away from it. This is the real world. This is how it all happens. I look at it not from a, I look at it from a,

it's almost like a passion project, I guess. When I see players, I want to know obviously how they're swinging, and how they're doing. I actually spend more time with their caddies than I do the players because I think the caddies have a better understanding of what's going on with the player because the player, as we all know, you know, oh, everything is great. I'm doing it.

And sometimes, yeah, no, that's actually horseshit. Trust the process. That's the truth serum, the caddy. And you also see the caddies out of it, right? Well, yeah, I mean, but I mean, the caddies are, they're the truth. I mean, they are the reality of it, right? I mean, because the caddies aren't going to tell, I mean, they know what's going on. I mean, the player might have it in their brain that this is, you know, is amazing and this and that.

And the caddies are going, yeah, that's great. Yeah, no, and they're shaking their head in the background because it's, you know, I'll tell you one quick story. And I love Roy McElroy. And I love Harry. But he goes, we were at the concession last year and we're in the back of Ten Green. And they were talking about equipment. I was talking about equipment. And Harry just goes, yeah, I don't know what he's doing.

This stuff. His irons are terrible right now. His shafts are awful. He's got like these triple X stiff shafts, this and that. And he's like, they're not good. But whenever Rory hit a shot, Harry was like, oh, that's great, bro. That's great. Turns out a couple weeks later, Rory goes back, switch shafts out,

and he starts playing better. caddies have the they know what's going on the players we all get into our minds that everything is great everything is dandy BS and even if it's not they'll tell you that as a media guy everything is great and fine and dandy they're not going to be like my shafts suck and my equipment's all messed up they're not going to do that to their sponsors that's exactly right so go ask the caddies yeah I agree as a former player it's one of the more popular guys on tour like when you're walking inside the ropes doing your job do players acknowledge you at all or is it you know you're doing your job i'm doing my job i you know

what i try and stay away from him and that's not patrick cunt ladies and gentlemen yeah we just gained three more people on the spot exactly um i try and stay away from the players as as much as they can because i don't want to be a part of the action i want to as as much as we are part of the action inside the ropes i think i think that my job is to is to kind of look at the lie and read what they're going through when they're having the conversation with the caddy. You know, every once in a while I'll have a conversation with the player and or the caddy.

But, you know, I try and stay away from that. I mean, I just don't, I don't know. In a sense, I actually wish I had a better relationship with the players and the caddies. But I also feel like, not like Brandel's situation. But, you know, I need to separate myself a little bit because I do enjoy. I mean, I'm a big fan of this game. That's why we're in this game, right? We're fans.

We are definitely fans. But I just need to have a little bit of separation and I don't want to get in their way. Although I do have to say a couple of times at the Ryder Cup when Jordan would come over and we'd talk about a few things. It was really kind of fun. Jordan talks to everybody. It's unbelievable. Jordan talks. I mean, and it's just, it's kind of like Lee Trevino.

It's just nervous energy. He's just burning. He's burning nervous energy. And I just sit there and listen. I'm the same way when I'm in the fairway and I have Jordan's group. He like comes up to me like I'm playing with him. And he's talking. I'm like, bud, I got the mic right here.

Say it into this. Say it into this. Tell me how you really better. This would be great. Have you ever said anything about somebody or been too critical to where afterwards? You were like, damn, maybe that was too much. Or somebody's approached you and said, hey, Rich, I took offense to this. So the one time that I did was at the U.S. Open.

And, gosh, I can't believe. believe I'm going to forget this guy's name right now. English guy. Oh my gosh. Tommy Fleetwood. No, no, no. Listen, listen. I have a man crush on Tom.

I know you do. Listen, Tommy Fleetwood, listen. I'd make out with him right now if I could. I would, if Tommy were right here, I would make out with him right now. The hair? I have a feeling I know what one of it. All of it. All of it.

Listen, this guy is still like, God. He's the full package. Oh, Jesus. Wow. This is getting more. Are we really going to play this? The grown with a little more than that. Are we really going to play this?

No. Oh my gosh. Anyway, so. We're going to write a both about this. So the par four third at the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. Oh, my God. I can't believe it. So this pro from the UK hits his shot and he chunks it and leaves it short.

And then he chunks it again. He isn't making five from like 70 yards away. And he kind of berates his caddy. and at every single point of me he looks at this caddy after every single shot and I'm like dude get over yourself like listen you hit these bad shots your caddy didn't didn't do anything wrong and so he actually called me out on Twitter a little bit and I apologize for that a little bit but I'm like I'm sorry dude but you are you hit every shot poorly after that gorgeous drive why is it your caddies fault?

Why are you blaming someone else for your inadequacies from, you know, trying to be too perfect all the time? And it's like, come on, guys. Listen, how many times have players looked at their caddies and be like, how did that happen? Because you hit it? Yeah. Does he suck? Yeah.

Well, I mean, seriously, how many times does the caddy hit a shot? Zero. Yeah. You got to blame it on somebody. That's what tour pros do. Okay. And some of it's justified when you say something like that, like, yeah, it wasn't your caddies fault that you flubbed it from 60, but sometimes the verbiage maybe doesn't come off. Listen, you're blaming somebody that is, listen, you're blaming somebody that is closest to you that is rooting for you more than anybody else in the world.

Besides your wife and accountant, maybe. Listen, you have a guy that is literally three feet away from you that wants the best for you. you. I'm sorry. I find that when players blame caddies, I find that hysterical. And I will, that's the only time I will trash a player is when he starts yelling at their caddy. I'm like, dude, yeah. Yeah. That's the goal for DNA. Blame somebody else. As much as you do love doing TV, though, I know, I mean, you're a competitor. Yes. Deep down and you love playing the game. How much are we going to see you out on PJ Tour champions? Not that much this year. You know, I do love competing, but I played eight events in 2021.

2022, maybe six or so. I'm not fully exempt. It's a misnomer that, you know, since you win a major, you're fully exempt on the champion store. That's not accurate. If I play six events, I'll be happy. But I'm going to treat it just like I do every week. This is a game.

This is fun. I'm not looking to go back out on tour anymore. I don't want to play 25 events full-time. I want to play, if I could play 10 events, that'd be kind of nice, but I don't even if I want to play that many. I want to play enough to satisfy my competitive desire and to, I'm just going to say it, I want to stick it to some people.

Yeah, exactly. I want to stick it to a couple people. Competitor. That's exactly. And then after that, I'm done. Like you said, you have a blast play in this game. I do. And I heard recently, you might have made a hole in one down in Mexico that was rather enjoyable. Car? Well, I did. Nissan? I did not make a hole in one. Okay. Well, my information has been. We have shitty sources, Rich, is what we're trying to say. He's sitting over there.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You don't have, you don't have, you don't have shitty sources. You have somebody that wants to pawn it off. So I actually took a video of my man, Patrick Hunt, making a holy one, hole in one on, I think it was the Pacifico course, 17 down in Punta Mito. And all you folks listening, Punta Mita is the greatest place on earth. Go there and tell them that I sent you. Thank you. Not a shameless plug at all. That is not a shameless plug at all. but we played the back nine without any shoes on

and there might have been some clear substances that rhyme with tequila in our cups and Patrick hits his shot and he hits it on I didn't hit that good, you know, a little off the toe and it goes in, I've got this on video and I am going monkey nuts. I am absolutely going crazy for about 30 seconds

and the very last thing I said, we're done playing golf right yeah that's it yeah that's it yeah so so funny enough fast forward about three minutes later we go up to the green pull the golf ball out of the hole we go up to the left-hand side of 18 fairway and i've got this speaker on in the cart and i'm still going crazy and i've got this thing full blast playing the video once again and there's this guy over in the house that we didn't know about he comes over he goes hey is everything okay i'm like oh gosh I'm really sorry, we're loud. My buddy just made a hole in one, and we're just, like, too loud.

And he goes, oh, that's fantastic. So it turns out this guy went to UT. He has a staff of about 10. The guy came over, one of the guys came over, a platter full of beer, and we walked through his pool to get to the bar underneath, I mean, this house. And we can go on and on a lot of it. Anyways, we saw. we sat there and for about 45 minutes afterwards,

it was the greatest experience in my life because this guy's got this house that is unbelievable in Puntimita. You go to Pintamita. Poonamita. Find this, dude. Puntimita. This longhorn. Yep, absolutely. It sounds like he's doing all right.

Oh, he's not doing it back. He's okay. You know what? He's going to make it okay. Last real question for me, like, before we get to some of the fun stuff, you seemed like when you played and you kind of touched on the PGA. Like, you had fun when you were golf. You were out there.

You enjoyed it. I think maybe that's coming from, you sold cell phones for a while. You know the other side, right? It wasn't just come out, boom, everything's in front of you. Do you think there are any guys out there right now that you see playing with that same kind of enjoyment of the game? Or does it seem more like this is more business, everybody's head down, woe is me, if the sky is falling if I'm not playing good? It is so much more of a business these days.

But also, it's just to say in a different way, though, that, yes, there are guys out there. there that are making so much money and yet still having fun, right? I mean, I think Justin Thomas is the guy right now that gets it. I think he's out there. He's grinding. But to me, he is the young player that is accomplishing everything and yet having fun in the same breath. I mean, I look at Justin Thomas, and he has a smile on his face. He's quick with a chat. He understands that this is a game right now. I think part of that goes to the fact that his dad is a, you know, is a club pro. Victor Hovlin would be a guy. I would say, like, if I had to pick a guy right now, like who is most is most similar to you out there, I feel like Victor. He plays bad. He's smiling and he's

interviewing. He plays great. He's smiling. He's interviewing. He is got, he has got the most infectious smile in the game. He's awesome. There is. no doubt. And loaded with talent. Oh, he's a big world. But he's like, I suck at chipping. You know, like no other pro comes out and like, I suck at this thing. He's just fine with it. Yeah, but he does suck and it's gotten better, but that's how good he hits it though. It is still, it's still painful to watch though. And I listen, he is a ball strikeers dream. Yeah, I did. Give up chipping to hit it like him.

Eight days with my putter. Eight days a week. After day one of the twin fan, I concur that I suck at chipping as well. And hitting driving and driving and putting. Everything I've been drinking. I love it. Well, should we get to the E-9? Yeah, let's do that. All right. You know all about this, Beamer.

I do. Emergency 9. Here we go. We ask us to everyone. You can trade lives with anyone for a day, dead or alive. Who are you going to be? You know, I almost thought about this, and then I stopped thinking about it. Because I was trying to come up with something really witty.

Trading live was somebody dead or alive. Just a day. Okay. I'm going to go. I'm going to go with the boss, Frank Sinatra. Oh, nice. Musician style. That's a hell of a pick, by the way.

Listen. That dude didn't do too many things. If you're going to live one day of your life, I want to be Frank Sinatra in Las Vegas for one day. Can I come? Tough to beat that. Had you pegged? I feel like you'd be a good Jimmy Buffett for a day. What could be?

Like a little, just got no cares in the world, tropical vibe. Anything goes. Yeah, but that. That happens as like most every day. Yeah, you kind of already live that. Franks. Franks different. I mean, seriously, that is, I mean, that is bringing it.

Yeah. That's a tough one. That's a good answer, by the way. Well, thank you. Appreciate it. Next one. Who do you think pulled off the highlights in the hair more successfully? You have to be kidding me.

You or Ian Polter? It was a hot look. Okay, okay. So, leopard head. Well, of course. I mean, Spotted Al. I think Spotted Al was what I was called by my ferdy.

You know what? You should have the visor so people could see it. You know what? I did. Because you know why? I won with the spotted owl. I saw you after there and actually took your hat out.

You're like rubbing your head to all the stress when Lowry's going crazy. Absolutely. So you know what? I pull it off. Who did that for you? Was that professionally done or you do that? Do you think I'm capable of. I don't know.

Listen. The caliber of the highlight, I thought you might. I know. You and I have really known each other for about the last two and a half hours. It's been good, though. I could have pulled that off. Not a chance. You're talented, man.

Oh, God, no. Listen, you're giving way too much credit. No, no, no. This is so funny because we don't go over our questions very often before we do this. Ever. Obviously, today we were playing golf. One of my E-9s was who pulled off the blonde highlights better in the early 2000. Do you, Tiger, and JT?

Oh, oh, me. I listen. Tiger with the blonde highlights was not a good one. Oh, my God. I'm not quite sure what he was thinking with that one. He's had some questionable fashion slash style. He needs to shave his shape. Listen, he's fighting it.

He's beautiful, guys. He's fighting it hard. Yeah, seriously. LeBron can't give it up. Tiger can't quite bend the knee. Listen, I'm about, listen, I'm about to shave my head. Like, probably next year by this time, we're going to this next year, I might shave my head. All right.

Maybe bring the highlights back before, though. Yeah. You know what I mean? Just one time. I want you to, I want you to have highlights. I'll do it. I know you will. We'll make a bet where you have to do it for some reason.

I'd do it. All right. Next question. I've made worse decisions. Yes, you have. You don't say. After you made your winning putt on the 72nd hold to PGA, you did a legendary little dance move. Did Dancing with the Stars ever call Rich Bee? No.

Those selfish folks. That's no way. Unbelievable. You'd have been my first call. No, they didn't. You know, and thankfully they didn't because I would have taken that up. Yeah, I know you would have. I would have gone.

I would have gone. all in, too. And you know what? You're built for it. Dude, I would have, listen, the one major regret that I have after winning the PGA

is that I got invited to the David Letterman show. On to David Letterman show, right? You said no. Love Letterman. I was in Seattle. This was in New York. Guess what? I

said no. That's David Letterman. That's Leatherman. That's Letterman, bro. That's the king. I'm telling you, this is, that is the thing that haunts me the most in life. I can see. He's doing it. He's got the Netflix show now.

But I did. But he did have the Rich Beam top 10 list. Oh, good. Yeah, but I wasn't there to say it. You could have done the top. Oh, my. Letterman is. Letterman.

You fly, you're in Dubai and he calls you tomorrow and say I'm coming. I said no. Biggest regret for Rich Beam's career. No David Letter. That would be a loser. Yeah. That's awesome. Luser.

I love that I'm guessing you this might be the E4 today because we got all over lappers, but I'll audible here in a minute. Our mind's kind of thinking. Do you still have the legendary? Is it the STX, the putter? Oh, yeah. Where is that bad boy? That thing was filthy. It is in the house somewhere.

Is it a house? No, it's in our, it's in my lock. It's not being used this way. What does it got to do to get back in the rotation? Oh, it's never get back in the rotation. I've got too many shakes going on, man. What do you got now? I've got, honestly.

Yeah, I got too, listen. You don't got the shakes with that? I have the Twitches, yes. Oh, okay. I got the twitches, but yeah, the STX. Yeah, that, so you guys know the story about, yes, we're part of it. Yeah, he's the one who brought with that little, a little nub, STX. Oh, yeah, yeah.

That thing was sweet. It was like a little ping pong, yeah. And he, and he's soft as shit. Ran into me on the driving range at, at Dural. He goes, what did you put this in the bag? I go,

this week, he goes, oh, you're going to put like a genius this week. He goes, next week, though, you're going to put like crap.

Finish fourth in Dural. Next week, hit 31 and a 36 greens miscut at the Honda. That's it. That's it. That's a yes for playing. One week,

you use it all up. You know what? There's some truth to that. There is just, you know, so I still have that putter, though, it's actually it's back in Austin in my locker

someplace. Don't let it go. I was looking for one for forever. It's like, this guy makes everything. I need one. I threw one in the water here. Oh, on this lake right here? Oh, you didn't know what about that? There's about 9,000 tour players there was a lot of shit in this lake right here, too. You didn't know what? So, so at the Fries.com open

one year, I got so mad after missing the cut. I mean, I threw my putter right in the middle of the lake. Del sent in a diver to pick it up, and at this event years ago, he actually presented it back to me and we put it into a wooden coffin and gave it a Viking funeral and set it on fire and put it on the middle of it. That's an appropriate way to send it off Viking funeral.

This Lake could tell stories. Oh, geez. It could write another book. Exactly. All right, we mentioned your legendary caddy, Steve Duplanis earlier. Give me your favorite story you can share with Steve Deplanis on here on golf subpar. So after we won in 1999 at the Kemper Open, we went out for multiple nights. I think it was the Friday.

It was Saturday night. No, sorry. It was Monday night after we won. Saturday, Monday, whatever. It was Monday night after we won. And we were doing a tour of the town and just living it up, right? and he had run into this girl and made plans for the second night in a row. And we're out at this bar.

And Stevie was just absolutely lamb-based. And he was mid-sentence talking to her. And all of a sudden, I see him turn sideways. Puk? Yep. Okay. No shame in that. There's no problem with that.

Turn back around. and pick up the conversation right where it left off. I mean, it was just a, it was, there was absolutely, hello, how are you doing? Everything going well tonight? I mean, it was just flawless. And I'm kind of thinking to myself, this guy's professional. Yeah. The stories about this guy, Sla, I don't know how many you heard, like, I mean, showing up to the range.

I think at Byron Nelson was catty for Furek with a poncho. Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, he showed up, like, when he was catting for me, first week out, I mean, on Sunday at Kempiropen, I had to carry my bag to the range. Well, that's one thing Furek always said. How do you go from Furek to you? That's got to be the furthest end of the spectrum, I would think.

No, but everybody said Furek would say. Why? You guys are pretty similar. They have the same amount of majors. Right, yeah. Good point. Yeah. But everybody said Fierick would carry his own back to the range all the time.

Oh, yeah. Jim, why don't you fire this guy? He's like, he's too good of a caddy. That's exactly. As long as he shows up 14 time. That's exactly. He probably went from working 800 hours a week to 20. once you get him side of the end side of the ropes, I mean, it was just like,

so I Monday qualified for the Nelson when I was in college. Got paired with Daniel Chopra on Saturday and Steve DuPlanis was caddy in board. That's exactly right. I met him when I was in college. And he couldn't have been a nicer human. Yep. God, he was awesome. Yeah.

And he just, once he got inside the ropes, I mean, it was just, he is in his own. But once he left the ropes, I mean, he was. Leave his work behind. Oh, respect. I mean, legend. I mean, gone way too soon. I've heard the stories. He will live on for a long, long time.

Long, long time. All right, I got an audible here a little bit because the dancing, then the shimmy question is gone. I'll say this. All right, 25-year-old Rich Beam, you got one night to go out and get after it. Better night in Las Vegas or Juarez. Ooh. It's the only time Vegas might be safer.

Are we talking back when I was 25 in Juarez was safe? When you're making, yeah, you had 300 bucks a week or whatever. ever was your same. Oh, dude. How many nights were you over in Juarez? Like in a month? $300 in Juarez could last me a good week. You could be mayor.

Dude, I could make that $300 in Juarez travel. How easy was it just to pop over and pop back? No problems back then? Yeah, no, no. I mean, 25 cents to get to get back. Because when you would, you walk over free and you walk back and you had to have a quarter. Walk over. That's a little steep.

Listen, you had to have a quarter. And what you used to do, seriously, you put a quarter in your shoe. That way, because you knew that you wouldn't lose your shoes. Hopefully. It's beautiful. So you put a quarter in the bottom of your shoe and you would walk back. Oh, yeah, I'm back. Here you go, bud.

You would put a quarter. You would put a quarter underneath your shoe. So when you walk back over, you're like, like, oh, there. Oh, yeah, I got to get back to the state. That's why I have the quarter there, but. Oh, yeah. That is a great story. That is beautiful.

I said you could, I, you, I could make $300 in Vegas, or sorry, in Warren's last for, for ever. We just got to Fred's Rainbow Bar. Fred's Rainbow Bar, you could buy Coronas for a quarter. Or you get back across the border. You got to make sure. You have it in the shoot. Well, but if you need an, if you're on that last final final.

But if you have $300 with a quarters, a lot of coronas. That's a lot of coronas. That's a lot of caronels, baby. All right. question. Who put the want to maker trophy through more hell? You or John Daly? I don't know what

John did with his but I know that what I did with mine was I do you remember last year when Colin picked up the trophy

and the top fell? Yeah, well I did that on the concrete. I had to I had to take it to my jeweler, and he had to bang it out, and it took two days, two full days to bang out. And I'm sitting, I am sweating bullets. And this is the real one. This isn't the fake one.

This is like, it was sent from West Palm. And Bill Escherbenter, our pal, he vouched for it for some ungodly reason. Like, this is going to make it back intact. And I'm like, I pulled. this thing out of my car and and the top just go poke. I'm like that's not good.

And so this thing bangs it out and he puts it back into place and he goes, you know, I have a metal or just there. He goes, it's probably not the first time that thing's ever been dropped on there. Definitely not. Yeah. But I mean I will say, I will say the real one, or even

the fake one that I have, when you fill it up, It's if you fill it up with ice It's Two full bottles of Jack Daniels And a two-liter bottle of Diet Coke And a dozen limes And it's a taste

Roughly And it's a taste No no no A dozen limes And it's a very tasty cocktail Do you put a straw and sit there? Oh no no you have to lift up Okay lift it up

It's heavy. It's heavy as shit Yeah Are you That's a workout You want a straw No I don't want a straw You sat there on your couch

Watched just drink out of it. That's exactly right. That's exactly. Take it down to Juarez. Yeah, don't take it to Juarez. It is. I don't have a quarter, but I got this trophy.

I got this. Let me back. Here, take the top of this. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. Put on my dab. Well, Beamer, as always, you know, I've been a huge fan for a long, long time. And thank you so much for coming on with us.

And your loyal support, because I know you listen every week. Listen, I listen to all your guys stuff, man. You guys are the best of the best. I can't thank you enough for having me. Really. Truthfully, this means a lot. to me to have any on here. Thank you.

We appreciate you coming on. We can use some more like you. Appreciate you, brother. You got it, guys. Thank you. Thank you. That was Rich Bean, joining us on golf subpart.

What a legend. First off, my favorite story. How about the trip going over to Juarez from El Paso and putting the quarter in the shoe? Quarter in the shoe. That way you can get back.

That is fantastic. That's got to make you feel good. Like, oh, dude, I'm going to just pop down there a little bit. Don't worry. I've got a quarter in my shoe. Everything will be fine.

I wonder if it still costs a quarter to get back across. I don't know. that's a hell of a deal. It might not be enough. They've got more shit to worry about than whether you got enough money to get back, I think. That's true. But a guy who wins a major championship, specifically the PGA, I mean, can you imagine if the PGA could talk the stories he could tell between spending a year with Rich Beam, a year with John Daly?

Yeah, that's a wild ride. That's a wild. Those boys are well-seasoned. That was kind of, I guess, late glory days, I guess, where there were still guys out there that like to get after it and have a good time. Rich Beam definitely one of those. you got a little taste of it, man. We talked about it with the book. Was it Bud Sweat and Tees? Are they following, you know, one of the riders? We're not going to talk about that rider.

A rider followed him around for a while, kind of documented his live, how he like get after it. I mean, dude, that's a, name me a guy right now on the PGA tour that would sign up for that. And it's way more water down. Like, they're not doing crazy stuff like Rich Beam was doing, but who would want a guy out there? Like, I'm just going to write an uncensored, everything you do, following you around on the PJ tour, and then I'm going to put it out in a book. Oh, and pay you nothing.

And you get nothing for it. I mean, I don't know. I mean, just pick the guys that actually get out there and get after a little bit. Nobody would want that. Like, what's the upside? Nothing. No. I'm interested.

Just, I'm interested to see what he does out on the PGA Tour champions. Because I think, you know, he's a guy out there. He'll be above average length off the tee. It'll be interesting to see, like, you know, how serious he is about having a career out there. I think he can make a lot of noise. If he wants to, I think it ultimately comes down if you want to. You got some guys that turn 50 and are dying to get out there,

been in kind of no man's land from 44. whatever it is to 50, can't compete on the PGA tour, waiting for champions tour. Some guys get out there and can't wait to tee it up every single week. And some guys, I mean, he's got another career. He's not looking for anything to do. He's got TV going on. It'll depend on how interested he is and playing out there and competing and practicing and doing all that stuff.

And Tommy Fleetwood, if you're listening, I'm not a lawyer, but I can put you in touch with a good one if you need to get a restraining order on Rich Beam. He's got a slight, it's not a slight. It's a ridiculous man crush on Tommy Fleetwood. Yeah, the facial expression and the sound effects that went along when we brought up Tommy Bell. Hey, so you're saying? You're a Tommy guy, huh?

Okay, all right. Fair enough. It's like, I mean, everyone's got a guy. We like the rat here, you know, on subpar. When he showed up, I was like, there he is, dude. That's the freaking rat. He's a dude. I love it.

Well, Sleaze, we had a lot of fun with Rich Beam. Our gambling didn't go quite as well this week with our boys over at Fandul, the greatest sports book in all the land. I had sung J.M. He finished tied for 11th. Not bad, but we're here to win. Yeah, we want trophies. Matthew Wolf, Tony Fienow, your boy struggle a little bit.

bit. I got 11th out of Sung J. M. tied for 25th out of Adam Hadwin. But you know what? We're just going to throw that one away. Goldfish. We're goldfish here, dude. To the farmer's insurance open, Torrey Pines. The golf season is back in full swing and there's no better way to make every moment more than

on Fandual's sportsbook. Each week we love looking through all the different markets and finding fun and unique bets. Like finishing position, matchups, round leaders, and group winners. And don't worry if you missed out on getting your bets before the term it starts, because Fandul has live betting options all throughout the weekend so you can always make every moment more.

And if you win, they even get your winnings to you safely and it's two hours. All right, Slees, tell me some of your favorite things about Fanduel. Well, it goes without saying, same game parlay. Let me tell you how you did this weekend. Not good. The boy took a little bit of a hit this weekend. On the football arena, I'm ready to get it back in the golf, but you got player props, futures, whatever bet you're looking for, fan duels got it.

You got live betting, which clearly we love. We like to get in there, catch the game, show up into first. first quarter, boom, you can still get in on the action. And the odds boosts and specials that they offer every time, boom, they'll pick one every week. You get a huge boost on a play you like. Those things are hitting at a crazy rate if you're getting in on those. So, yeah, those are just a few of the things.

But I got some ground to make up this week in golf. Yeah, I thought this last tournament over the American Express over in Palm Springs was cool because heading into the final round, you had two rookies at top of the leaderboard, so you didn't, you know, they're kind of unproven. Then you had some veterans behind him. And if you could go in there before the fourth round started and get Hudson Swoffered at plus 1,700. Nice little payout.

Nice little pickup. Yes. I mean, the dude was making some tweets. One par on the back nine for HUD. And right now, Fandul is letting you place your first bet risk-free up to $1,000. Just place a bet on any game or golfer, and Fandul refund you up to $1,000 back if you don't win your first bet. Seriously, there's no strings attached. Just place any bet you want.

If you win, you keep the cash. If you lose, you'll get your entire bet up to $1,000 back in site credit. Like I said, we're on to the Farmers Insurance Open. Tori Pines. We got three days on the South Course. One day on the North course. They're both beasts now, since they went in and redid the North course, but we've got a great field.

I believe six of the top ten in the world are there. The weather looks fantastic. I'm going to be out there covering it for CBS, so I hope that's the case. But this one's a lot of fun. This is when I feel like the golf season really starts. We get the big boys coming out. Big boys come out. This used to be when Tiger would show up for the first time.

The fans were crazy. It's still one of the biggest ones of the West Coast swing. Big yard, hard golf course. And now, like you said, since they redid the north, that used to be the one where you had to go make your birdies. Now, like, that's really hard, too. So you got, like you said, you got a lot of the guys in the top 10, and it's go time. I feel good about my picks this week.

Really? I feel, I feel. You pick a John Ron? More confident in this. I got John Rom for everything. Yeah, exactly. All right, well, let's get to it. We're going to give you some golf picks as well as NFC and AFC championships as well.

All right, I'm going to go with a guy starting off here. He's won here before. He loves the place. He always seems to be a factor. It's going off at 37 to 1, which I kind of like that. Steep. Yeah, steep. Mark Leashman.

Okay. Love Leash. Like that. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I mean, you got to hit fairways. You got to hit green.

It's really hard to play from the rough out here. And if you're not hitting greens, just pack it. I mean, you got to strike your golf. I'll give you a dark horse as well. Plus your Brassnetter and you make everything. Yes. Well, wow, that's funny. You just said that name right there.

Because going off is my dark horse at 100 to 1. A guy who's starting to trend and play better golf. He's been a little bit of a funk. But I believe he finished top 35 down in Hawaii. Finished Tide for 14th at the American Express. rest. Other than Tiger, I don't know if anybody has a better track record around Torrey Pines than my man, Brandt Snedeker. He's got two wins around the place. A second, never misses the cut. 100 to 1, I like sprinkling a little something on Brant Snetter. And he does it a little different.

Like you think of this place is a big yard, long, you know, length plays a big role. Got to hit fairways, rough's tough, got to hit a lot of greens. You think of ball strikers first, and Brant really doesn't check that box, but that putter for some reason, I mean, they get on these poe greens and dude, I mean, lights it up everywhere with the butter. With the weather forecast, and obviously meteorologists have been wrong before, but right now it's highs in the upper 60s, sunny, very little wind, and no rain. So it should dry out, hopefully play a little shorter.

I like that for Brant Snitaker. Okay, those are your two. I don't disagree with either of those. I'm going to go off the top, my guy at the top of the odds sheet. I feel good about this one, cool. I'm going Will Zalotaurus, 29-0. You think about ball-striking, Iron Play? I mean, he's a name that's in that conversation, right?

He just came back for his first event at the American Express since the 22 years started. T6 out there in the desert, played well. Seventh last year at this event, and I just think of... Miss the cut at the U.S. Open, because I picked him. Yeah, I did miss the cut. One of his few, like, not top 25s at the time. But, I mean, I just think of this kid, Tita Green, man.

I mean, the putter, maybe that's the place he looked at, but I feel like it matters less on this place. It's more about hitting it in the fairway, hitting it on the green, and Lester Brant Snetiker, and he does it as good as anyone. So I'm going with Will Zalotaurus, 29 to 1. I like that pick. Dark Horse side, if you're going a little further. they're down 46 to 1 another dude his name comes up a lot when i'm talking about guys

cori conners coming off a miscut a rare miscut coming off a rare miscut yeah which is strange i think more of a putting contest i would say out there in palm springs than then then troy pines is going to be but t i mean i mean he's so good and the putter just needs to be okay and the tory's a place where you can kind of get away with it being okay i'm going with corey connor's at 46 to 1 all right that's our picks for this week's farmers insurance open let's do a little football here what we really know yes our expertise after my greener Great weekend, dude. Let me pile on some more knowledge.

All right, we got two incredible games. We've got the L.A. Rams against the San Francisco 49ers. The Rams are going off at minus three favorites. Playing at home could possibly be the first team ever to host an NFC championship game and host a Super Bowl, which would be really big for them. Then we got the Kansas City Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals led by Joe Burrow. Kansas City going off minus seven point favorites at Arrowhead. All right.

Here's my deal. I think the Rams made a lot of moves this offseason and during the season as well. because they are ready to win now. Yeah, they're trying. All their chips on the table. They almost puked it all off against Tampa and the Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Bucks last week. Minus three. They've had a terrible record against San Francisco.

I think now's the time they turn it around. Matthew Stafford, Vaughn Miller, Odell Beckham, Jr. I like them minus three to cover. Hey, I agree with you. And with the way the dogs performed this past week, it's hard to go with faves, but I'm going to go with the Rams as well. Just all the pieces in place. It's the year of the dogs, like we said.

Matthew Stafford at the helm. He's been waiting a long time to get a shot to win. some playoff games and get to a Super Bowl. Does it year of the dogs? At home? Underdogs. It's both. It's been the year of the dogs. So if you pick LA or San Francisco, you'll be fine. Yeah, exactly. I'm going to go with the Rams as well in that game. And then on the other side, Chiefs, Bengals at Arrowhead.

Minus 7 feels like a lot. It sucks because I feel like the two best teams in the playoffs just played each other in Kansas City and Buffalo. I mean, damn, what a game. What a terrible ending to have Josh Allen not be able to take the field after that. But I think the Chiefs are. firing. They're my lean for the Super Bowl. I just think the chiefs get it done at Arrowhead. I think they dodged the biggest bullet they got in Buffalo.

Minus seven. So you're going Kansas City? Yeah. I hate taking two favorites, dude. I tell you what, since my Cowboys are out, I've jumped on this Joe Burrow and Cincinnati Bengal bandwagon. I love watching them play. Jamar Chase is an absolute monster. The offensive line for the Cincinnati Bengals really worries me. They gave up nine sacks

last week and still beat Tennessee somehow. Joe Burrow is unreal. I think seven points is lot. It is a lot. And I think Kansas City spent a lot of energy against Buffalo last week. I think Kansas City wins, but I think Cincinnati keeps it close. Just Joe Burrow and that Cincinnati defense is really, really good. Just got to give him a little bit of time, and I think they can hang in there. I'm going to go with the Bengals plus seven. So you're taking Bengals, you're taking Chiefs to win, not cover? I think the Super Bowl will be Rams Chiefs. I got two favorites of I want to go with underdogs, but I've been wrong on everything this past weekend. There's a lot

of over-unders and same-gay parlays and things like that but it's got to go with my gut here and going two faves so all right we're aligned on one we're on the other side on the other all right well if you've never tried yeah if you've never tried fandle sports book what are you waiting for go to fan d'el dot com slash subpar or download the fandle sportsbook app to get started be sure to sign up with promo code subpar so they know that we sent you must be 21 years an older and present in arizona connecticut new jersey or new york first online real money wager only refund issued as non-withdrawable site credit that expires in 14 days restrictions of place See terms at sportsbook.Fandul.com.
