Speaker 2 (00:20):
Let's give this you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
So we discussed The Masters today on stec Gottson Company
the show. Before the show, we also did we can
observations there as well.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Those episodes are out right now.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
But I am told that Dan Byer loves this tournament
the way I love this tournament, The Masters.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Of course, Rory McElroy nailed it.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Back to back champions career Grand Slam, back to back
Green jackets certainly puts them in the conversation for top five,
top ten guys of all time.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
So our thoughts are out there already.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
And I thought, since Dan Byer loves this thing, since
I got attack from EP Jason right before the show
saying Dan has opinions, I want to get Dan's opinions
and thoughts on everything that transpired over the weekend because.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I thought I isy Dan made a very good point this.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Morning on Stegotson Company, where he said that was more
about a bunch of guys who had a chance to
win a green jacket and didn't go and get it,
mainly Justin Rose, but Dan the.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Floor is yours your thoughts on what you saw over
the weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
I think that's I think that's a fair assessment. I
actually thought that Rory McElroy winning this event going into
the final round on Sunday was probably the third option
on the board. I thought that Cameron Young was informed.
He in his last three events had tied for seventh,
the third place finish, and then he won the Players
Championship a month ago, and then when he has the
round that he does on Saturday to erase that six
(01:55):
shot lead, I thought that Cameron Young was informed and
he wasn't on Sunday.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
And you talk about say you could put a five
dollars flyer on that guy on Friday or Saturday and
feel good about it.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yes, some would say that.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Yes, should have cashed out early. Maybe they could have
given them. Then you talk about you talk about Justin
Rose as well. I mean the Shawn on twelve, the
second chip, very very difficult chip. Now I've never played
Augusta National, but just even watching it as difficult. But
the outcome of the chip was something that I feel
that I would do, not from someone who is knocking
(02:29):
on the door of trying to win a green jacket.
Sam Burns ties for the lead after the first hole.
The next thing you know, he's putting for a seven
on the par five second and he's not on your
TV screen anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So is he.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Observation of nobody going to get it is fair, and
I think that is what happened, and that's why you
saw the leaderboard. Not only was Scotty Scheffler great, but
others like Colin Morikawa, Xander Schaffley, other players were moving
up the leaderboard and while they weren't a part of
the story, their scores were good enough because of the
guys were falling off. I mean, Hotong Lee took a
(03:03):
ten on the par five thirteenth. He was tied with
Scheffler going in. He finished at plus one. Scheffler finished
at eleven under power twelve shots difference. So yeah, I
agree with that assessment. That's Augusta. I mean, that's Augusta.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yes, if he's told.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Rory, Like right after the second round, Hey, you're at
minus twelve. You're going to finish the tournament at minus twelve?
He would have said, I'm not winning the tournament right
to him?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yeah, absolutely, And I thought that Friday was a bit
of smoking mears like the chippin on seventeen. While it
was part of his plan to put the ball there,
he's not thinking of holding that chip at that point.
So maybe he's not at minus twelve. He's really that
minus eleven, you know, ten under power. But the moving
Day happened on Saturday, for sure. But on Sunday, I
(03:48):
think everybody kind of shrunk in the moment in what
was a day where there were accessible pins and room
for scoring. Is Scottie Scheffler showed you.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Yeah, there's a reason why they call Saturday moving Day
because I give no credit to the people who at
the end when they had no chance to win. Yeah
there's no pressure, yeah, pressure whatsoever. But I don't know
what I'm doing here. You guys maybe can explain it
to Okay, when Sam Burns is lurking near the top, YEP,
(04:16):
have no fear if he's.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Going to win this thing, and it's nothing against him.
Not a reputation thing.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
There's just something about somebody doesn't feel right in this situation,
and for some reason it's Sam Burns.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Well, sam Burns was closed last year. His game has
improved vastly over the last couple of years. He's going
to win a major. I'm not certain if I win
at Augusta. But Dan, you would have been surprised if
Sam Burns pulled that off. I would not have been surprised.
I would have been surprised. I would not have been
surprised if Cam Young obviously would have won. I mean,
just because of his recent form. I do think it's
(04:48):
difficult for a player of Sam Burns's calibers. You guys
are talking about I think top twenty in the world,
a guy who's been on Ryder Cup teams, but to
break through in that spot, it is a pretty big spot,
especially with the names of Mac Glroy, you know, right
ahead of you on the leader board.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
So I would have been surprised if Burns one. It's
just his face.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
It doesn't look like a face of a guy who's
going to take it over everybody else.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I don't know what it is. I just know that too.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
If you're right, it's not a confident face. Put it
on the Paul sam Berd, it's confident face, yes or no?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Taylor, what do you got Dan?
Speaker 6 (05:17):
The talk with the NCAA tournament was kind of the
death of the Cinderellas, And I'm watching the Masters. Has
the Masters almost become too chalky? Because six of the
past seven Master champions have been won by somebody with
top five pre tournaments.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Good, yeah, good.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I think that's a good assessment. But I also think
that in Steward know this, The Masters is set up
in a way for that. It is for chalk. It
is to have the best of the best. You have
a US Open, you have one hundred and fifty six
players in the event. There were ninety one players in
the Masters. Eight of them are amateurs, They're probably not
going to contend. You have former champions who tee it
up that have no real contention. So you really have
(05:57):
like a field of seventy players that are in contention.
Fifty of them make the cut, so everybody's playing on
the weekend. You just look at the names of missing
the cut, and nobody really missed the cut. Everybody was there,
So it's kind of a secret of the sauce thing
with Augusta where you're always going to have names. It's
the outliers of the Trevor Immlmans, you know, the Danny Willets,
(06:17):
that make Augusta unique in that sort of way. But
it's always been a spot for I think the best
of the best to rise to the occasion.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I don't want Danny Willets dotting a green jacket on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I just don't.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I know he did it, he wanted once, But that's
not what Augusta is all about. I mean, it's just
not I wanted to be Tiger. I wanted to be Rory.
I wanted it to be Phil Michelson. I wanted to
be the best of the best, because that tournament deserves
to have the best of the best winning it. And
so I am not good. Larry Mize, you want to
tell me, Larry Miz okay, big pitch he wanted. He's
(06:51):
from Augusta, Georgia. Nice little story. Other than that, all
the underdogs get the hell out of here. Who'd you
want to see whin the thing? Taylor will zallik Horus,
what are we doing here?
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I'm a big ox shape Battia guy.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
He might win one one day.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I mean he folded on Friday. Oh my goodness, he
didn't make the cut. Of the players that didn't, he
didn't make the cut. But if you look over the
last thirty years, right, like, there's there's Willet, there's Immelman.
You know, even on hell Cabrera had a you know,
a US Open prior and had been in contention. Yeah,
so like there, like there have been the names of
(07:29):
the names I think have been there and have been
in over the last five years, five six years, we've
had Dustin Johnson, Hideki Matsuyama, Scottie Scheffler, John Rahm, and
Rory McElroy. That's pretty good list.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yep. Mike Weir, get the hell out of here. Go ahead, Taylor.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
When I'm watching on Sunday and the leaderboard was kind
of flipping pretty pretty early that that front nine where
Rose went up two strokes, Cam Young was in it
at one point. I root for Cam Young and it
has almost nothing to do with his golf game. The
only reason I root for Cam Young is because he
has an MLB patch on his collar yep.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
And the necklace.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Yes, you want to tell us why he has that
on his collar.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Taylor, I'm sure you look that one up.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
So it looks like the only reason he has that
is because his dad's a member at a at Sleepy
Hollow Golf Club with Rob Manfred and Manford basically was
just like, wouldn't it be cool if your kid was
sponsored by MLB? And the dad was like, yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
So he was also a member in Augusta. Rob Manford
told you the story. I saw him their opening day.
I told him to get to work. That means AUGUSTA.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I mean, what was he doing. It's opening day, the
biggest day of the year for him.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
To Stue's point, Dad and I sort of I'm gonna
pile on here against Taylor.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
If Maverick McNeely had won the.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Masters last yesterday, I'd be like, Okay, I wasted my
time watching this thing, Jake.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Napp, Yesterday wasn't a great day.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Like I completely understand why people like it wasn't, But
I think that people are satisfied with the outcome, like
people are are good with it, and and what could
have happened on eighteen I think that you're exactly right.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
I like moments that change. In this case, golf.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
So Rory getting another green jacket, getting a sixth major,
I think is I think it's fun. I think it's interesting. Unfortunately,
the Danny Willetts, the Mike WIRs don't change the game
and how we view it. It just kind of feels
like it stayed the same even before the Masters started.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Dan, I think the problem with Sunday was Moving Day
on Saturday was so special, so great, so elite. No
one expected it to be a tournament headed into Sunday,
and then all of a sudden we had a tournament
headed into Sunday, and it was built up, built up,
build up, built up, in large part because Rory didn't
do anything. He just let the field come back to
him on Moving Day on Saturday. But on Sunday, with
(09:45):
all that build up, no one did a thing outside
of Scotty Scheffler, outside of Hatton, and those guys were
too far back to win the thing.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
You know, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Noorin had won the Master, I would never watch taking
the day off. I mean they'd still be partying in
sweet like Stockholm. You can't do anything.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
There's I'll say this, with McElroy's win to your points
to do of everybody kind of falling off. Rory didn't.
Rory did what he had to do which the other
players didn't do on Sunday, and to have the type
of round that he ended up having. Maybe we don't
give him a medal for it. I mean, he gets
the cream jacket for winning, but this could have been
(10:23):
a seventy six for Rory, like right, like there is
there were opportunities. He got lucky. I'm fifteen, the ball
didn't go in the water. He was long on sixteen
and played a great pitch to tap in Tiger woods
on I'll tell you this when two thousand and five,
when Tiger had the ball going on sixteen that everybody
remembers in the slow role in the turnover. What people
forget is Tiger went bogie bogie the final two holes
(10:47):
and ended up in a playoff with Chris DeMarco. So
for Rory to not completely blow up on eighteen, to
be able to do what he did on seventeen, it's tough.
Kenny Perry had a two shot in two thousand and nine,
Bogey bogee seventeen and eighteen lost in a playoff. Like
those things happen, and Rory didn't fail did what he
(11:07):
had to do, and I don't think that we give
him as much credit because of how bad other players
performed on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Well, I give him credit because this is what I
did with my friend over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
And tell me if you agreed.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Dan Rory in my personal record books Dugout's book dot com.
By the way, in my personal record book, he gets
not one, but two green jackets for winning this master
crazy one on Saturday for doing next to nothing and
allowing the field to come back to him to make
Sunday interesting. So we awarded him a green jacket in
the Butler cabin, me and my friend did in our imaginations.
(11:40):
We were on a gummy we were playing golf, okay,
But he got a green jacket on Saturday for keeping
it close, and then he got one on Sunday for
actually winning the thing.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
You agree, right? I mean I agree because you make
a joke of this. You listen to his Friday press conference,
It sounded like he won already, Like the questions of like,
you know, you're a different guy. You know what pressure
did it take off of you?
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Are you here?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
This was Friday night.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
He was in the press center for fifteen twenty minutes,
and it felt like people are already giving him the
green jacket then.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
And we're giving him a jacket for blowing that lead, yes,
and the jacket for maintaining it.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
He didn't exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Blow the lead, he did just I went into that
round just saying, hey, Rory, give me a plus one today.
And that's what the master's viewing experience is all about.
You want that guy, even though you like him, even
though I was giving him a standing ovation when he
won his second consecutive green jacket, I won.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
I don't believe if you were, I don't believe.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
In my mind I was.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I didn't actually stand up, but in my mind I
was giving him a standing ovation. It's very fair of
you guys to call me out. I didn't give him
a standing ovation, but in my mind I was. I
was standing and I was clapping my hands because he
went back to back masters and I was happy for him.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
But Dan, that's what the viewing experience is all about.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Even though you liked the guy on Saturday, you're good
with him throwing up a plus one because it allows
everyone else to get back into the tournament.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Yes, yes, And I thought all four hours of Rory's
face on around I thought was magnificent television. I'd love
to screenshot the leader boards from when he started to
all the different names that ended up popping up and
where everybody was positioned differently, because I thought it was
a good watch yesterday.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
So it looks like Cam Young is not the only
golfer to be sponsored by the MLB. There's another golfer,
Sean Stefani, Okay, and it says he's there. It says
he's an Astros fan, and in exchange for wearing the logo,
he gets free tickets to watch the Astros wherever and
(13:34):
whenever he wants. That seems like a better deal for
Stefani than it does for the MLB. You know, I
don't even know who Stefani is ve.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Percent right now that you mention it. That's the story
of the MLB patch that I remember. It wasn't Cam
Young at all because I had Houston Astro stuck in
my head. So when you told me the story about
a golf country clubhouse, I got that doesn't sound familiar.
That's the one that sounds more familiar. Last thing I
ought to say on the Masters, at least with Dan
here is it feels like Skytdy Scheffler said, you guys,
(14:02):
I gave you guys a chance.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I had a baby, I had.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
A little bit of a struggle, and now you're gonna
regret not winning everything while I was out when I was,
you know, a little bit under, a little bit below form,
because he's just gonna come back and be like, come on, guys,
this is too easy for me.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I think Scott he's probably thinking to himself. First off,
he's thinking about the first two rounds and how many
birdies he left out there.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
He could have won this thing by six strokes.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And then he's thinking about that putt yesterday on seventeen,
a hole in which no one buried, and Scott he
was a millimeter away from extra holes between him and Rory.
And then Rory just never makes it. You know, it's
never easy for him. He just it's not Tiger just
blowing the field away. He always allows everyone to come
back into the tournament. And then once he's gonna win
it on eighteen, he hits that drive out to the
(14:46):
tenth fairway and has to hook one around the tree
at CBS spent forty five seconds scaring the daylights out of.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Me because no one knew where his ball was. I mean,
what was going on? It's awful. I mean, Jim Nhants right,
it's awful. I know I did. Like I was freaking out.
I had no idea. I thought Chefler was gonna win
the thing. Same Dan.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
They didn't show and they didn't show the second shot.
We had no idea where it went. Nobody knew where
it was. Same thing with Cam Young's second shot.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
No one knew. No one had any idea.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I mean, CBS, you have to do better. Listen, perhaps
some friends with Dave Berson. He's one of my very
good friends. He's one of my best friends. I've known
him for a long time. But even Dave Berson, who
took over for Sean McManus at CBS Sports, would have
told you, hey, Nance, CBS camera crew need to do better.
(15:34):
In fact, I'm guessing knowing Dave the way I do
that he was on the phone with somebody, anybody, just saying,
where the hell is the ball?
Speaker 7 (15:43):
You sure you weren't just panicking a little bit? You
show you're just freaking out because of the gummies.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I don't know, man, but I do know Daea. That's
a real. I mean, I know Dave.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I don't have to call Dave to tell you what
Dave was doing while those forty five seconds, which to
him a TV executive, felt like forty five hours. I
don't need to tell you what he was thinking and
what he was doing. He was calling nance and he
was freaking out.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gotson Company
live weekdays at three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Here comes Rory McElroy just a couple inches away, stands
behind the golf bawl and is set.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
It's a tap in.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
It's back to.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Back for McElroy.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Rory has done it again at a bust A messing All.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
He's just a fourth man in the history of the
Masters to win it back to back. They're chaining his
name twice over and over again.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
How fitting.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
Maybe we should call that aus Augusta Radio, not Master's Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I perhad, but the rare call that was actually felt
bigger than the moment about that.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
That's true, I did that guy is good? Who is
that guy? Get him on the show?
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
And by the way, that's the other thing that annoyed me.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I mean, do we have to wait around for Rory
to you know, tap in a two inch pot? How
about Cam Young just make his pott or take his pot,
put it in the hole and then the floor is Rory's.
I mean, what are we doing there? What happened yesterday?
I'm telling you Moving Day was too good that it
ruined Sunday. Let's go to our Robin Maine before we
get to Dan Buyer's update and a Matt Rushmore Monday.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Rob, go ahead, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 9 (17:35):
God, I've been listening to the Wake and Take I
got takes. You gotta get him out of me, all right,
you gotta get him out of me, and you make.
Speaker 10 (17:46):
Up a whole song with your phone number and get
the old school calls back on that. I was so
happy to hear you on the station.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
I'm the fair blessed.
Speaker 10 (17:53):
To have you.
Speaker 9 (17:54):
I'm good, all.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Right, thank you? Rob?
Speaker 10 (17:57):
Wait, wait one what thing?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Go ahead?
Speaker 10 (18:00):
Tell me fam on the Mets. He might light the fire,
you know, he might slap somebody around and do with things.
And in my personal record book, Shae has no MVPs.
I mean yours came out before the whole Shay and
Joker things. So what do you gotta say about that?
Jokis one of the last few MVPs. What's your personal
record book? Hung up? Listen, great show. I'll call back.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
You love you, Thank you? All right?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
We love you too. You want to take the jokeach
question away? I didn't hear it because Taylor was in
my headset telling me so.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
No, it was in his personal and it was it
John and Mane and John Rob excuse me, Rob's personal
record book. Shay Gildess. Alexander does not have an MVP.
He didn't really say why. I'm guessing it's a lot
of the foul baiting.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
It's ZZZ plus that's why I mean, how about that?
Speaker 7 (18:43):
I mean, he leads the league, but he was asking
you what you thought about that. In regards to.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Shaye's MVP, I agree with him.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
And also, I will tell you this about the Mets.
I don't care what Tommy Fam does. As long as
lind Door keeps playing like this, it doesn't matter. I mean,
I am telling you, Wfam. We're twelve games into the
baseball Sea Taylor has turned four times on the Yankees already.
They went for the best team to the worst team
he's ever seen of all time, worst Yankee team of
all time. And I am telling you wfan, they want
to trade Lindor.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I mean, we're twelve, fourteen games into the season. It
just started. There's one hundred and fifty games to go, Taylor.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
It doesn't help that Francisco Lindor had a lot of
problems behind the scenes, rumored with a lot of his
teammates that they wound up getting rid of the Pete Alonzo's,
the Brandon Nemos. So it's compounded by Lindor's struggles, but
also they traded away people because of Lindor, mostly Brandon Nemo,
who's batting like three sixty seven in Texas this year.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I could you hate the polar Bear.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
They're seven and nine. The Mets that were in last place.
Fire everyone, all right, thank you, Dan, stay right there.
You are the judge of the Mount Rushmore. Monday here
every Monday except for last Monday.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Taylor won. There's an asterisk next to it. Well, Dan
wasn't here. What's next to it? As what did I say? No,
you said what most people say. You're just missing that.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Today anyway, what is the give me the imaging I
always say thank you there.
Speaker 11 (20:14):
Yeah, you the guy with the spreadsheet pretending to work.
Do you find yourself needing up, picking up as you're
dragging in your.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Cubicle start the week?
Speaker 11 (20:26):
Are you ready to put the sports back in sports talk?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Well, then you're in luck because every Monday we climb.
Speaker 11 (20:34):
The mount, we call the legends, and we argue about
things the truth you can't handle, the truth that absolutely
do not matter and are completely subjective. This is Mount
Rushmore Monday, Monday.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
So this one is going to be right in Dan's
wheelhouse today. The Mount Rushmore Monday is a Masters champion.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Wow, No mikey A.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Today, Iowa Sam A very tepid Iowa Sam.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Is filling it from which is uh well, which is
odd considering that no one loves the Masters more than
Iowa Sam. No one loves the you know, the game
of golf, the sport of golf, the history of golf
more so than Iowa Sam. Taylor put it on the poll.
Please does mikey A lead the show in vacation case?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Jeez, I've got to come back one hundred per.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
I mean, he's the game for an unlimited policy.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Absence, by the way, is for absence, Yes, for absent, put.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
It on the pole.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I also don't know what to do with Taylor and Mikey.
They have fallen in love with Sal Lacata and they
have dates with him. I'm pretty certain Mikey a wasn't
supposed to be on vacation this week, but the locata
has invited him to go on vacation with him, and
so he's there. And now Taylor's telling me on Friday
he's going to a Yankee game with Sal.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I mean it's a long way to go.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
I mean if if Aaron Boone is still the manager
by Friday, which is a big if at this point.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
By the way, this found Rushmore very dependent on the draw. Yes,
I would say you think that.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
I mean, there's only a couple of guys that are
gonna be considered for number one.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yeah. Oh damn.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
So this list was randomized and we're gonna do a
snake draft picking first it's easy.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, congratulations, then.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Me, then Iowa Sam, then Stu gots for the snake background.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
So Iowa Sam, just so we're clear, Okay, in no
particular order, Tiger and Jack are probably gonna go one.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Two. Do you know a third golfer.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
I mean, yes, I've been preparing for this. I've got
notes written down. Yes, And I think Taylor said tepid.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
I can't. You could say that, maybe timid.
Speaker 8 (22:39):
I just I'm coming at this as a golf amateur,
golf novice, so we'll give it a shot.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Okay, So Stu, Yeah, Iowa Sam texting me, he said, Hey,
when somebody gets picked in snake draft in the Mount
Rushmore Monday, are they off the board? I said, yes,
they are. Thank you for listening to the past six versions.
Jesus Or said in the history of draft, I know,
I know how to AFT. I was just like, all right,
is it? Could we have carryovers to it each Mount
Rushmore and the answers.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
No, all right, you're drafted. Follow up questions very important.
But again to Taylor's porn, have you listened?
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I mean, you know you're in there?
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Is it? You're on the clock.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
You can stop that clock right now. I'm going with
Jack Nicholas. Nobody has more. The man had a whole
hour long special on just one of his wins right
before the Sunday's tournament.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Jack Nicholas is on my winning Mount Rushmore. Okay, that's
a good one.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Yeah, so I really just wanted one or two because
I don't think you can go wrong with either first
or second. Here. I'm gonna go Tiger Woods.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Why not, see Ioway, Sam's gonna take here. There's an
obvious third choice here. We'll see if I was.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Sam takes it all right, give me mister half iced tea,
mister half lemonade. Arnold Palmer, Jim Palmer, Jim Palmer, Arnold
Jim Palmer.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Well six off one. He's got a drinking hut after him. Yeah,
I get two here, right, so I'm good. No, you're right.
That's the obvious third pick with Sam, You're off to
a good start. Obvious third pick. I get two here. Jeez,
she's the weak.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I gotta go Nick Faldo because Rory joined that group
of Tiger jack and Nick Faldos, guys who have won
back to back Green Jackets.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
But if you didn't have that third one, Faldo, the
third one on this list.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
No, the third one is important back to back, certainly
Hammers at home, but that third one is important. And
then I'll have to go with lefty Phil Mickelson, one
of my favorite golfers of all time. He won three
as well, So I'll go I'll go Faldo who won
three plus back to back Mickelson who won three.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
I'm off to a good start.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
Yeah, go ahead, all right, was saying back to you,
all right, I will go with the South African Gary Player,
three time winner.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
He's still alive, He's ninety years old. He won a.
Speaker 8 (24:50):
Master's while JFK was still alive in his name's player,
So how could he not love that?
Speaker 1 (24:55):
So Gary plays a better shape than all of us
can bind. That's crazy. Yes, take issy out of the equation.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
That guy's shredded.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Yeah, why was it being alive? Mentioned like it?
Speaker 8 (25:04):
Like it was a cool ninety has always been around.
He played in the sixties Masters like I mean this,
that's cool.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Right, He's still on that first tee along with everyone.
Yeah right, jackets a standing ovation.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
For a horrible drive. I mean, just terribly shanked it.
I mean, but he's Jack.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
So I'm on the clock here for the second round.
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna need some help with the
pronunciation here, Seve Bastro.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Bistero, all of Spain is just mocking you right now
for that pronunciation.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Say it again, please, just said Dan can cringe.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
Go ahead, Seve Balistero time champ. I know who it
is because he dragged He dragged European golf out of
irrelevance and made the Ryder Cup into a formidable competition.
So I know the name. I just didn't know how
to pronounce it. So I'm sorry. Jesus golf snobs.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, Jesus worst group. All right, here's up here we are.
He's got back to back pick back to back.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
So I'm going with a couple of names that I
don't really know anything about other than they're mentioned.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
A lot when they talk about master's greats.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Okay number one, Sam Snead, Yes, I have no idea
what kind of golf gave this guy had.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I really don't even know when he played. He was greate,
but he won.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Three of these bad boys and must have been really good.
And then I'm going with the name that I hear
again all the time, and as soon as I hear it,
I think, oh, they must be talking about the masters
Ben Hogan.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yes, chalk names right there right, Yes, I mean.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Don't have anything about their games, don't have anything about
their impact, but just their names are associated with this
turtle Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Let's let's go back to Taylor. Here his his second
to last pick here.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Yeah, so I didn't think this name was gonna get
back to me. I gotta go Rory McElroy. You have
to yes, back to back champ, back to back for Max.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Yes, although Stu's personal record book it's three apparently.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Well yeah, he got one for Saturday.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I mean, just for doing nothing, letting the field come
back to him.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Thank you. Let's go to Iowa, Sam, Iowa, Sam, go ahead.
Speaker 8 (27:18):
All right, I was gonna take Rory. I'm bumping up
though a hometown favorite. I don't care if I get
dock points for this. But when Zack Johnson won in
two thousand and seven, the entire state of Iowa went nuts.
So I gotta take Zach Johnson because he would actually,
you know, go on to win a British Open. I
know that's separate championship, separate tournament, but the guy is
now with two majors. He's kind of in rare fight air.
(27:39):
So give me Zack Johnson two thousand and seven champion.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Sam has clearly never listened to any of the Mount
Rushmore segments.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
You're not going to get Dan, Byer's favorite. But that's fine.
I'd take a Homer pick Zach Johnson. Congratulate you on
fourth place.
Speaker 8 (27:52):
By I'm good with that. Was that like a brown ribbon?
I'm fine with that, al right.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
I get to here, m Man, interesting to go Zach
Johnson there, because you would almost assume he could have
just got him in.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
The fourth rounds. Yes, I would have left him, Yes,
fifth or sixth round.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Actually, if we were going a fifth round, if we
were going with a mount Greg Morton.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Oh, I don't know what to do here, man, I'm torn.
I have two picks, all right. I'm gonna take a
hometown guy, Larry Myz. I made fun of it in
the first segment, but that was the rare story where
not one of the favorites won, but it was still
a great story also with a great shot a chip
to win the Masters in sudden death, a guy that's
from Augusta who dreamed of winning that tournament his entire life.
(28:38):
Hometown kid.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
So I'll go Larry Miz who only won one. The
next one's gonna be tough. Who like is he? I'm
just gonna pick a name and hope that Dan Byer
likes this name. He won two. I'm gonna say Tom Watson. Wow, Yeah,
what a name. Yes, Tom Watson. So that's my four.
Right there, we go back to Iowa say, I'm unfortunately
(29:02):
all unfortunately. I love why it was Sam. I mean,
just seems like.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
A foregone conclusion.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yes, it's like a pro am tournament fourth gone conclusion.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Gus is an amateurs Mount Rushmore. I'm going with a
guy that like kind of disappeared if anyone could fill
me in.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
But I remember VJ. Sing being a name for a minute.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Wow, I had him on my board.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I will take VJ. Sing.
Speaker 8 (29:23):
He was the champion in the year two thousand.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
You knew that right off the top of your head. Huh.
Speaker 8 (29:30):
I just it's like one of those names. And when
I was a teenager, I'm like, okay, a VJ. Sing
Master's champion. Where's he been? Where's he been?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
I don't know where? That's where practice? Where is VJ Sing?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Bit?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
You kind of sung your answer too? Was that in
honor of singing? What did you do that? Well? The
old Conan bit in the year two thousand?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
All right, let's go back to Taylor here. I have
a feeling like I'm winning seve.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
By. He's off the board.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
So I'm gonna go with the ninety two Masters champion
and somebody that you could still pencil in. First round,
he's gonna be minus four when he gets to amen corner,
Freddie Couples.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
That's a great one, it really is.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yes, I'm telling you, he has the first five holes
committed to memory.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
After that the memory starts to face.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
Yes, so corner he just starts praying Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I mean, he's old. His back is killing him so good.
I wish he could have stayed healthy, all.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Right, So it's really tough and I'm struggling to leave
him off of my list.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
I was hoping one of you guys.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Would have taken Bubba Watson off the board because he
won a couple of them.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
He has this amazing one, amazing.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Ridiculous shot that he hit was just the creativity as
if with him is through the roof. But he just
hasn't done anything other than those two. Really in the Masters.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
That's all you need.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
But Bernhard Longer, he has won the two and he
also has competed for longer if you will get longer,
and he had a bounce with Jack Nicholas and just
super consistent in the Masters.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
So Bernhard Longer great is my fourth pick?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Really well? I would have stayed with Bubba. I would
have Yeah, that's why you're not gonna win that stan
Byer Shuffler know, Scottie Wow.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I'll tell you what just just immediately is he made
the right choice. I think that that Longer is a
better choice than Bubba Watson.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
I made the choice with my heart, with my head,
not my heart. He just respects the game. He likes Longer.
I mean I should have said Walter Hagen. I mean,
I'm upset.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
I think I think that that Longer's not only his longevity,
but also for how well he has played in some
of the Masters when he was later in age.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
I think that that plays a role with it. I
think that the Fredreddy Couples before Freddy Couples, Yeah, I
think the fred Couples pick was magnificent.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
I don't know if anybody gets more out of their
one win than Fred Couples does.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
You're right, it's it's a magnificent pick. Iowa, Sam, It's
four Zach Johnson and VJ. Singh. He was pretty a
tough spot. He made the right.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Pick with Arnold Palmer made the right pick with Gary
player on the back side, started out strong, Yeah yeah,
then tapered off Studio Stuarts third, what good collection of guys.
Mice may have turned it off. Maybe another guy maximizing.
But Fred Couples was a better player than Larry Mies was.
I think the hometown kid also allowed my to be special.
(32:30):
And because he broke Greg Norman's heart, so that also
puts you up on a higher on the list. But
I think overall, when you have Jack and Tiger there
like that's one two, that's gonna be one too. Fred
Couples was a great, great pick, so was Bernard Longer
over Bubba Watson.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Taylor wins is he a second?
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Unbelievable, But there's an asterisk next to the first one.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I mean, what do you know what you mean? Tiger's five?
He said that Dan.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
McElroy in the moment the Fred Couples the recognition to
say like, I can take someone with one win, and
no more so than Ian Woosdom. I mean, there are
a couple of two time winners of Jose Maria Olthabo.
You could have been Scotti Sheffler and maybe got some
recency bias, but to understand the couple's angle.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
That's what I loved.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I mean, it's fortunate for tailor. It's not about pronunciation.
I mean it was he would have lost in a landslide.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
I mean, Jesus, let me hear yes one more time
and the greatest Spanish golfers to ever live.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
Seve Brom.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
It's one of the words I don't have difficulties with,
one of the few eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
So this is interesting and it's why I love doing
the show and It's why I do why I love
doing live radio Masters.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Monday, we talked about it. Great.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
The NBA playoffs are starting in about a week. They
start on Sunday. We have to get through the play
in games, which is patently absurd. I mean, playing for
spots in which you're not going to do anything once
you make the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
I mean, he made the finals and twenty twenty three
out of the play in but that's neither here nor that.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
But I figure that is he loves the NBA so much,
into the Masters over the weekend, loves the NBA so much,
and finally his season has arrived. The second season, the postseason,
where everyone starts caring about the NBA. It's much like
college basketball, where we start caring in March. And yet
during the break, all I'm getting from Izzy is Justin
Bieber Coachella, Like that's it.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
It was not on my Bingo card today. It just wasn't.
And I've never felt older saying it wasn't on my
Bingo card.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Well that's you know, I didn't know which one was
gonna make you feel older, thinking that Justin Bieber is
like a new act or something, or the Bingo card
reference but the reason I wanted to talk about it
is just because I was explaining things to you guys,
and Taylor said three words that said, oh, Okay, I'm sold.
We'll definitely talk about this. Do you know what those
three words were? Tailor, I'm a believer. That's absolutely right,
(35:46):
because it's sort of a philosophical music thing that I
had questioned for you that I have to toe because
if you don't know the story, basically, I'm not gonna
give you all the details about you to death. But
Justin Bieber had a very tumultuous beginning of his career,
the young talented, super successful artist.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
He got broke, had to sell back.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
A lot of his you know, his own stuff, so
that he doesn't own any of his good music. He
made an album recently that is was his right. He
does own that, And he was signed to be a
the main headliner at Coachella for about ten million dollars,
which is crazy. So he can't without paying those other
folks perform those previous songs, right unless and I love
(36:29):
a good loophole unless, which is exactly what he did
after those thirteen straight songs where people were kind of
falling asleep from his new stuff. He went on YouTube
sto and just played them on YouTube. And when you
play them on YouTube and you're not performing them, no band,
no anything behind you, you don't have to pay them anything.
He sang along a little bit, a couple of words
here or there. Now, the thing that I have a
(36:50):
problem with to do is a lot of people said
this was boring, af like this was absolutely like I
get we got some of the old stuff, but he
wasn't actually singing it.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
It was. It was super intimate, but it's a.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Large outdoor facility obviously, And then when you're starting off
with your new album and a bunch of slow stuff,
it's like, I don't know if I want to see this.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
So I'm trying to decide if.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
It was brilliant because you are a believer and you
love the story arc, or if it was terrible because
you wanted to just go party and you didn't get
anything that you wanted.
Speaker 6 (37:17):
Yeah, there was a phase where it was like cool
to hate Justin Bieber. I never subscribe to that. I
could say the word subscribe, but I would listen to
all over Justin Bieber's albums, and funny enough, same exact
birthday March first, nineteen ninety four, as.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Wel ass, Wow, that's to get that in there. I
love Justin Bieber, I do. I mean, but I got
news for anyone who's doing a concert. No one wants
to hear your new stuff. Just play the hits. Nobody
wants to hear the new album. I mean, give me
some love yourself, give me some baby, give me some
of that, Give me the good songs, give me the
hits that I took my children, my daughters to go
see at the American Airlines Arena. I don't know, maybe
(37:54):
thirteen years ago or so.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
Some people argue he did give you the hits, he
just had to play it on YouTube and didn't actually
perform it himself.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
Not this right, It's not the same.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Yes, And when you mentioned Coachella, what I thought you meant,
because this is my Coachella is a bunch of coaches
getting together for some sort of convention.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
I mean, it sounds better. That's what a Coachella is.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Let's give this you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
So we discussed The Masters today on stec Gottson Company
the show. Before the show, we also did we can
observations there as well.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Those episodes are out right now.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
But I am told that Dan Byer loves this tournament
the way I love this tournament, The Masters.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Of course, Rory McElroy nailed it.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Back to back champions career Grand Slam, back to back
Green jackets certainly puts them in the conversation for top five,
top ten guys of all time.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
So our thoughts are out there already.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
And I thought, since Dan Byer loves this thing, since
I got attack from EP Jason right before the show
saying Dan has opinions, I want to get Dan's opinions
and thoughts on everything that transpired over the weekend because.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I thought I isy Dan made a very good point this.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Morning on Stegotson Company, where he said that was more
about a bunch of guys who had a chance to
win a green jacket and didn't go and get it,
mainly Justin Rose, but Dan the.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Floor is yours your thoughts on what you saw over
the weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
I think that's I think that's a fair assessment. I
actually thought that Rory McElroy winning this event going into
the final round on Sunday was probably the third option
on the board. I thought that Cameron Young was informed.
He in his last three events had tied for seventh,
the third place finish, and then he won the Players
Championship a month ago, and then when he has the
round that he does on Saturday to erase that six
(01:55):
shot lead, I thought that Cameron Young was informed and
he wasn't on Sunday.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
And you talk about say you could put a five
dollars flyer on that guy on Friday or Saturday and
feel good about it.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yes, some would say that.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Yes, should have cashed out early. Maybe they could have
given them. Then you talk about you talk about Justin
Rose as well. I mean the Shawn on twelve, the
second chip, very very difficult chip. Now I've never played
Augusta National, but just even watching it as difficult. But
the outcome of the chip was something that I feel
that I would do, not from someone who is knocking
(02:29):
on the door of trying to win a green jacket.
Sam Burns ties for the lead after the first hole.
The next thing you know, he's putting for a seven
on the par five second and he's not on your
TV screen anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So is he.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Observation of nobody going to get it is fair, and
I think that is what happened, and that's why you
saw the leaderboard. Not only was Scotty Scheffler great, but
others like Colin Morikawa, Xander Schaffley, other players were moving
up the leaderboard and while they weren't a part of
the story, their scores were good enough because of the
guys were falling off. I mean, Hotong Lee took a
(03:03):
ten on the par five thirteenth. He was tied with
Scheffler going in. He finished at plus one. Scheffler finished
at eleven under power twelve shots difference. So yeah, I
agree with that assessment. That's Augusta. I mean, that's Augusta.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yes, if he's told.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Rory, Like right after the second round, Hey, you're at
minus twelve. You're going to finish the tournament at minus twelve?
He would have said, I'm not winning the tournament right
to him?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yeah, absolutely, And I thought that Friday was a bit
of smoking mears like the chippin on seventeen. While it
was part of his plan to put the ball there,
he's not thinking of holding that chip at that point.
So maybe he's not at minus twelve. He's really that
minus eleven, you know, ten under power. But the moving
Day happened on Saturday, for sure. But on Sunday, I
(03:48):
think everybody kind of shrunk in the moment in what
was a day where there were accessible pins and room
for scoring. Is Scottie Scheffler showed you.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Yeah, there's a reason why they call Saturday moving Day
because I give no credit to the people who at
the end when they had no chance to win. Yeah
there's no pressure, yeah, pressure whatsoever. But I don't know
what I'm doing here. You guys maybe can explain it
to Okay, when Sam Burns is lurking near the top, YEP,
(04:16):
have no fear if he's.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Going to win this thing, and it's nothing against him.
Not a reputation thing.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
There's just something about somebody doesn't feel right in this situation,
and for some reason it's Sam Burns.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Well, sam Burns was closed last year. His game has
improved vastly over the last couple of years. He's going
to win a major. I'm not certain if I win
at Augusta. But Dan, you would have been surprised if
Sam Burns pulled that off. I would not have been surprised.
I would have been surprised. I would not have been
surprised if Cam Young obviously would have won. I mean,
just because of his recent form. I do think it's
(04:48):
difficult for a player of Sam Burns's calibers. You guys
are talking about I think top twenty in the world,
a guy who's been on Ryder Cup teams, but to
break through in that spot, it is a pretty big spot,
especially with the names of Mac Glroy, you know, right
ahead of you on the leader board.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
So I would have been surprised if Burns one. It's
just his face.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
It doesn't look like a face of a guy who's
going to take it over everybody else.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I don't know what it is. I just know that too.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
If you're right, it's not a confident face. Put it
on the Paul sam Berd, it's confident face, yes or no?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Taylor, what do you got Dan?
Speaker 6 (05:17):
The talk with the NCAA tournament was kind of the
death of the Cinderellas, And I'm watching the Masters. Has
the Masters almost become too chalky? Because six of the
past seven Master champions have been won by somebody with
top five pre tournaments.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Good, yeah, good.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I think that's a good assessment. But I also think
that in Steward know this, The Masters is set up
in a way for that. It is for chalk. It
is to have the best of the best. You have
a US Open, you have one hundred and fifty six
players in the event. There were ninety one players in
the Masters. Eight of them are amateurs, They're probably not
going to contend. You have former champions who tee it
up that have no real contention. So you really have
(05:57):
like a field of seventy players that are in contention.
Fifty of them make the cut, so everybody's playing on
the weekend. You just look at the names of missing
the cut, and nobody really missed the cut. Everybody was there,
So it's kind of a secret of the sauce thing
with Augusta where you're always going to have names. It's
the outliers of the Trevor Immlmans, you know, the Danny Willets,
(06:17):
that make Augusta unique in that sort of way. But
it's always been a spot for I think the best
of the best to rise to the occasion.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I don't want Danny Willets dotting a green jacket on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I just don't.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I know he did it, he wanted once, But that's
not what Augusta is all about. I mean, it's just
not I wanted to be Tiger. I wanted to be Rory.
I wanted it to be Phil Michelson. I wanted to
be the best of the best, because that tournament deserves
to have the best of the best winning it. And
so I am not good. Larry Mize, you want to
tell me, Larry Miz okay, big pitch he wanted. He's
(06:51):
from Augusta, Georgia. Nice little story. Other than that, all
the underdogs get the hell out of here. Who'd you
want to see whin the thing? Taylor will zallik Horus,
what are we doing here?
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I'm a big ox shape Battia guy.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
He might win one one day.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I mean he folded on Friday. Oh my goodness, he
didn't make the cut. Of the players that didn't, he
didn't make the cut. But if you look over the
last thirty years, right, like, there's there's Willet, there's Immelman.
You know, even on hell Cabrera had a you know,
a US Open prior and had been in contention. Yeah,
so like there, like there have been the names of
(07:29):
the names I think have been there and have been
in over the last five years, five six years, we've
had Dustin Johnson, Hideki Matsuyama, Scottie Scheffler, John Rahm, and
Rory McElroy. That's pretty good list.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yep. Mike Weir, get the hell out of here. Go ahead, Taylor.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
When I'm watching on Sunday and the leaderboard was kind
of flipping pretty pretty early that that front nine where
Rose went up two strokes, Cam Young was in it
at one point. I root for Cam Young and it
has almost nothing to do with his golf game. The
only reason I root for Cam Young is because he
has an MLB patch on his collar yep.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
And the necklace.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Yes, you want to tell us why he has that
on his collar.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Taylor, I'm sure you look that one up.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
So it looks like the only reason he has that
is because his dad's a member at a at Sleepy
Hollow Golf Club with Rob Manfred and Manford basically was
just like, wouldn't it be cool if your kid was
sponsored by MLB? And the dad was like, yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
So he was also a member in Augusta. Rob Manford
told you the story. I saw him their opening day.
I told him to get to work. That means AUGUSTA.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I mean, what was he doing. It's opening day, the
biggest day of the year for him.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
To Stue's point, Dad and I sort of I'm gonna
pile on here against Taylor.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
If Maverick McNeely had won the.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Masters last yesterday, I'd be like, Okay, I wasted my
time watching this thing, Jake.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Napp, Yesterday wasn't a great day.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Like I completely understand why people like it wasn't, But
I think that people are satisfied with the outcome, like
people are are good with it, and and what could
have happened on eighteen I think that you're exactly right.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
I like moments that change. In this case, golf.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
So Rory getting another green jacket, getting a sixth major,
I think is I think it's fun. I think it's interesting. Unfortunately,
the Danny Willetts, the Mike WIRs don't change the game
and how we view it. It just kind of feels
like it stayed the same even before the Masters started.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Dan, I think the problem with Sunday was Moving Day
on Saturday was so special, so great, so elite. No
one expected it to be a tournament headed into Sunday,
and then all of a sudden we had a tournament
headed into Sunday, and it was built up, built up,
build up, built up, in large part because Rory didn't
do anything. He just let the field come back to
him on Moving Day on Saturday. But on Sunday, with
(09:45):
all that build up, no one did a thing outside
of Scotty Scheffler, outside of Hatton, and those guys were
too far back to win the thing.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
You know, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Noorin had won the Master, I would never watch taking
the day off. I mean they'd still be partying in
sweet like Stockholm. You can't do anything.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
There's I'll say this, with McElroy's win to your points
to do of everybody kind of falling off. Rory didn't.
Rory did what he had to do which the other
players didn't do on Sunday, and to have the type
of round that he ended up having. Maybe we don't
give him a medal for it. I mean, he gets
the cream jacket for winning, but this could have been
(10:23):
a seventy six for Rory, like right, like there is
there were opportunities. He got lucky. I'm fifteen, the ball
didn't go in the water. He was long on sixteen
and played a great pitch to tap in Tiger woods
on I'll tell you this when two thousand and five,
when Tiger had the ball going on sixteen that everybody
remembers in the slow role in the turnover. What people
forget is Tiger went bogie bogie the final two holes
(10:47):
and ended up in a playoff with Chris DeMarco. So
for Rory to not completely blow up on eighteen, to
be able to do what he did on seventeen, it's tough.
Kenny Perry had a two shot in two thousand and nine,
Bogey bogee seventeen and eighteen lost in a playoff. Like
those things happen, and Rory didn't fail did what he
(11:07):
had to do, and I don't think that we give
him as much credit because of how bad other players
performed on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Well, I give him credit because this is what I
did with my friend over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
And tell me if you agreed.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Dan Rory in my personal record books Dugout's book dot com.
By the way, in my personal record book, he gets
not one, but two green jackets for winning this master
crazy one on Saturday for doing next to nothing and
allowing the field to come back to him to make
Sunday interesting. So we awarded him a green jacket in
the Butler cabin, me and my friend did in our imaginations.
(11:40):
We were on a gummy we were playing golf, okay,
But he got a green jacket on Saturday for keeping
it close, and then he got one on Sunday for
actually winning the thing.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
You agree, right? I mean I agree because you make
a joke of this. You listen to his Friday press conference,
It sounded like he won already, Like the questions of like,
you know, you're a different guy. You know what pressure
did it take off of you?
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Are you here?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
This was Friday night.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
He was in the press center for fifteen twenty minutes,
and it felt like people are already giving him the
green jacket then.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
And we're giving him a jacket for blowing that lead, yes,
and the jacket for maintaining it.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
He didn't exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Blow the lead, he did just I went into that
round just saying, hey, Rory, give me a plus one today.
And that's what the master's viewing experience is all about.
You want that guy, even though you like him, even
though I was giving him a standing ovation when he
won his second consecutive green jacket, I won.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
I don't believe if you were, I don't believe.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
In my mind I was.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I didn't actually stand up, but in my mind I
was giving him a standing ovation. It's very fair of
you guys to call me out. I didn't give him
a standing ovation, but in my mind I was. I
was standing and I was clapping my hands because he
went back to back masters and I was happy for him.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
But Dan, that's what the viewing experience is all about.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Even though you liked the guy on Saturday, you're good
with him throwing up a plus one because it allows
everyone else to get back into the tournament.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Yes, yes, And I thought all four hours of Rory's
face on around I thought was magnificent television. I'd love
to screenshot the leader boards from when he started to
all the different names that ended up popping up and
where everybody was positioned differently, because I thought it was
a good watch yesterday.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
So it looks like Cam Young is not the only
golfer to be sponsored by the MLB. There's another golfer,
Sean Stefani, Okay, and it says he's there. It says
he's an Astros fan, and in exchange for wearing the logo,
he gets free tickets to watch the Astros wherever and
(13:34):
whenever he wants. That seems like a better deal for
Stefani than it does for the MLB. You know, I
don't even know who Stefani is ve.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Percent right now that you mention it. That's the story
of the MLB patch that I remember. It wasn't Cam
Young at all because I had Houston Astro stuck in
my head. So when you told me the story about
a golf country clubhouse, I got that doesn't sound familiar.
That's the one that sounds more familiar. Last thing I
ought to say on the Masters, at least with Dan
here is it feels like Skytdy Scheffler said, you guys,
(14:02):
I gave you guys a chance.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I had a baby, I had.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
A little bit of a struggle, and now you're gonna
regret not winning everything while I was out when I was,
you know, a little bit under, a little bit below form,
because he's just gonna come back and be like, come on, guys,
this is too easy for me.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I think Scott he's probably thinking to himself. First off,
he's thinking about the first two rounds and how many
birdies he left out there.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
He could have won this thing by six strokes.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And then he's thinking about that putt yesterday on seventeen,
a hole in which no one buried, and Scott he
was a millimeter away from extra holes between him and Rory.
And then Rory just never makes it. You know, it's
never easy for him. He just it's not Tiger just
blowing the field away. He always allows everyone to come
back into the tournament. And then once he's gonna win
it on eighteen, he hits that drive out to the
(14:46):
tenth fairway and has to hook one around the tree
at CBS spent forty five seconds scaring the daylights out of.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Me because no one knew where his ball was. I mean,
what was going on? It's awful. I mean, Jim Nhants right,
it's awful. I know I did. Like I was freaking out.
I had no idea. I thought Chefler was gonna win
the thing. Same Dan.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
They didn't show and they didn't show the second shot.
We had no idea where it went. Nobody knew where
it was. Same thing with Cam Young's second shot.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
No one knew. No one had any idea.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I mean, CBS, you have to do better. Listen, perhaps
some friends with Dave Berson. He's one of my very
good friends. He's one of my best friends. I've known
him for a long time. But even Dave Berson, who
took over for Sean McManus at CBS Sports, would have
told you, hey, Nance, CBS camera crew need to do better.
(15:34):
In fact, I'm guessing knowing Dave the way I do
that he was on the phone with somebody, anybody, just saying,
where the hell is the ball?
Speaker 7 (15:43):
You sure you weren't just panicking a little bit? You
show you're just freaking out because of the gummies.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I don't know, man, but I do know Daea. That's
a real. I mean, I know Dave.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I don't have to call Dave to tell you what
Dave was doing while those forty five seconds, which to
him a TV executive, felt like forty five hours. I
don't need to tell you what he was thinking and
what he was doing. He was calling nance and he
was freaking out.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gotson Company
live weekdays at three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Here comes Rory McElroy just a couple inches away, stands
behind the golf bawl and is set.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
It's a tap in.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
It's back to.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Back for McElroy.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Rory has done it again at a bust A messing All.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
He's just a fourth man in the history of the
Masters to win it back to back. They're chaining his
name twice over and over again.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
How fitting.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
Maybe we should call that aus Augusta Radio, not Master's Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I perhad, but the rare call that was actually felt
bigger than the moment about that.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
That's true, I did that guy is good? Who is
that guy? Get him on the show?
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
And by the way, that's the other thing that annoyed me.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I mean, do we have to wait around for Rory
to you know, tap in a two inch pot? How
about Cam Young just make his pott or take his pot,
put it in the hole and then the floor is Rory's.
I mean, what are we doing there? What happened yesterday?
I'm telling you Moving Day was too good that it
ruined Sunday. Let's go to our Robin Maine before we
get to Dan Buyer's update and a Matt Rushmore Monday.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Rob, go ahead, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 9 (17:35):
God, I've been listening to the Wake and Take I
got takes. You gotta get him out of me, all right,
you gotta get him out of me, and you make.
Speaker 10 (17:46):
Up a whole song with your phone number and get
the old school calls back on that. I was so
happy to hear you on the station.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
I'm the fair blessed.
Speaker 10 (17:53):
To have you.
Speaker 9 (17:54):
I'm good, all.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Right, thank you? Rob?
Speaker 10 (17:57):
Wait, wait one what thing?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Go ahead?
Speaker 10 (18:00):
Tell me fam on the Mets. He might light the fire,
you know, he might slap somebody around and do with things.
And in my personal record book, Shae has no MVPs.
I mean yours came out before the whole Shay and
Joker things. So what do you gotta say about that?
Jokis one of the last few MVPs. What's your personal
record book? Hung up? Listen, great show. I'll call back.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
You love you, Thank you? All right?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
We love you too. You want to take the jokeach
question away? I didn't hear it because Taylor was in
my headset telling me so.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
No, it was in his personal and it was it
John and Mane and John Rob excuse me, Rob's personal
record book. Shay Gildess. Alexander does not have an MVP.
He didn't really say why. I'm guessing it's a lot
of the foul baiting.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
It's ZZZ plus that's why I mean, how about that?
Speaker 7 (18:43):
I mean, he leads the league, but he was asking
you what you thought about that. In regards to.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Shaye's MVP, I agree with him.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
And also, I will tell you this about the Mets.
I don't care what Tommy Fam does. As long as
lind Door keeps playing like this, it doesn't matter. I mean,
I am telling you, Wfam. We're twelve games into the
baseball Sea Taylor has turned four times on the Yankees already.
They went for the best team to the worst team
he's ever seen of all time, worst Yankee team of
all time. And I am telling you wfan, they want
to trade Lindor.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I mean, we're twelve, fourteen games into the season. It
just started. There's one hundred and fifty games to go, Taylor.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
It doesn't help that Francisco Lindor had a lot of
problems behind the scenes, rumored with a lot of his
teammates that they wound up getting rid of the Pete Alonzo's,
the Brandon Nemos. So it's compounded by Lindor's struggles, but
also they traded away people because of Lindor, mostly Brandon Nemo,
who's batting like three sixty seven in Texas this year.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I could you hate the polar Bear.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
They're seven and nine. The Mets that were in last place.
Fire everyone, all right, thank you, Dan, stay right there.
You are the judge of the Mount Rushmore. Monday here
every Monday except for last Monday.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Taylor won. There's an asterisk next to it. Well, Dan
wasn't here. What's next to it? As what did I say? No,
you said what most people say. You're just missing that.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Today anyway, what is the give me the imaging I
always say thank you there.
Speaker 11 (20:14):
Yeah, you the guy with the spreadsheet pretending to work.
Do you find yourself needing up, picking up as you're
dragging in your.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Cubicle start the week?
Speaker 11 (20:26):
Are you ready to put the sports back in sports talk?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Well, then you're in luck because every Monday we climb.
Speaker 11 (20:34):
The mount, we call the legends, and we argue about
things the truth you can't handle, the truth that absolutely
do not matter and are completely subjective. This is Mount
Rushmore Monday, Monday.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
So this one is going to be right in Dan's
wheelhouse today. The Mount Rushmore Monday is a Masters champion.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Wow, No mikey A.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Today, Iowa Sam A very tepid Iowa Sam.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Is filling it from which is uh well, which is
odd considering that no one loves the Masters more than
Iowa Sam. No one loves the you know, the game
of golf, the sport of golf, the history of golf
more so than Iowa Sam. Taylor put it on the poll.
Please does mikey A lead the show in vacation case?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Jeez, I've got to come back one hundred per.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
I mean, he's the game for an unlimited policy.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Absence, by the way, is for absence, Yes, for absent, put.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
It on the pole.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I also don't know what to do with Taylor and Mikey.
They have fallen in love with Sal Lacata and they
have dates with him. I'm pretty certain Mikey a wasn't
supposed to be on vacation this week, but the locata
has invited him to go on vacation with him, and
so he's there. And now Taylor's telling me on Friday
he's going to a Yankee game with Sal.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I mean it's a long way to go.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
I mean if if Aaron Boone is still the manager
by Friday, which is a big if at this point.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
By the way, this found Rushmore very dependent on the draw. Yes,
I would say you think that.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
I mean, there's only a couple of guys that are
gonna be considered for number one.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yeah. Oh damn.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
So this list was randomized and we're gonna do a
snake draft picking first it's easy.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, congratulations, then.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Me, then Iowa Sam, then Stu gots for the snake background.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
So Iowa Sam, just so we're clear, Okay, in no
particular order, Tiger and Jack are probably gonna go one.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Two. Do you know a third golfer.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
I mean, yes, I've been preparing for this. I've got
notes written down. Yes, And I think Taylor said tepid.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
I can't. You could say that, maybe timid.
Speaker 8 (22:39):
I just I'm coming at this as a golf amateur,
golf novice, so we'll give it a shot.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Okay, So Stu, Yeah, Iowa Sam texting me, he said, Hey,
when somebody gets picked in snake draft in the Mount
Rushmore Monday, are they off the board? I said, yes,
they are. Thank you for listening to the past six versions.
Jesus Or said in the history of draft, I know,
I know how to AFT. I was just like, all right,
is it? Could we have carryovers to it each Mount
Rushmore and the answers.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
No, all right, you're drafted. Follow up questions very important.
But again to Taylor's porn, have you listened?
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I mean, you know you're in there?
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Is it? You're on the clock.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
You can stop that clock right now. I'm going with
Jack Nicholas. Nobody has more. The man had a whole
hour long special on just one of his wins right
before the Sunday's tournament.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Jack Nicholas is on my winning Mount Rushmore. Okay, that's
a good one.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Yeah, so I really just wanted one or two because
I don't think you can go wrong with either first
or second. Here. I'm gonna go Tiger Woods.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Why not, see Ioway, Sam's gonna take here. There's an
obvious third choice here. We'll see if I was.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Sam takes it all right, give me mister half iced tea,
mister half lemonade. Arnold Palmer, Jim Palmer, Jim Palmer, Arnold
Jim Palmer.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Well six off one. He's got a drinking hut after him. Yeah,
I get two here, right, so I'm good. No, you're right.
That's the obvious third pick with Sam, You're off to
a good start. Obvious third pick. I get two here. Jeez,
she's the weak.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I gotta go Nick Faldo because Rory joined that group
of Tiger jack and Nick Faldos, guys who have won
back to back Green Jackets.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
But if you didn't have that third one, Faldo, the
third one on this list.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
No, the third one is important back to back, certainly
Hammers at home, but that third one is important. And
then I'll have to go with lefty Phil Mickelson, one
of my favorite golfers of all time. He won three
as well, So I'll go I'll go Faldo who won
three plus back to back Mickelson who won three.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
I'm off to a good start.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
Yeah, go ahead, all right, was saying back to you,
all right, I will go with the South African Gary Player,
three time winner.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
He's still alive, He's ninety years old. He won a.
Speaker 8 (24:50):
Master's while JFK was still alive in his name's player,
So how could he not love that?
Speaker 1 (24:55):
So Gary plays a better shape than all of us
can bind. That's crazy. Yes, take issy out of the equation.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
That guy's shredded.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Yeah, why was it being alive? Mentioned like it?
Speaker 8 (25:04):
Like it was a cool ninety has always been around.
He played in the sixties Masters like I mean this,
that's cool.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Right, He's still on that first tee along with everyone.
Yeah right, jackets a standing ovation.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
For a horrible drive. I mean, just terribly shanked it.
I mean, but he's Jack.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
So I'm on the clock here for the second round.
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna need some help with the
pronunciation here, Seve Bastro.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Bistero, all of Spain is just mocking you right now
for that pronunciation.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Say it again, please, just said Dan can cringe.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
Go ahead, Seve Balistero time champ. I know who it
is because he dragged He dragged European golf out of
irrelevance and made the Ryder Cup into a formidable competition.
So I know the name. I just didn't know how
to pronounce it. So I'm sorry. Jesus golf snobs.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, Jesus worst group. All right, here's up here we are.
He's got back to back pick back to back.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
So I'm going with a couple of names that I
don't really know anything about other than they're mentioned.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
A lot when they talk about master's greats.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Okay number one, Sam Snead, Yes, I have no idea
what kind of golf gave this guy had.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I really don't even know when he played. He was greate,
but he won.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Three of these bad boys and must have been really good.
And then I'm going with the name that I hear
again all the time, and as soon as I hear it,
I think, oh, they must be talking about the masters
Ben Hogan.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yes, chalk names right there right, Yes, I mean.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Don't have anything about their games, don't have anything about
their impact, but just their names are associated with this
turtle Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Let's let's go back to Taylor. Here his his second
to last pick here.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Yeah, so I didn't think this name was gonna get
back to me. I gotta go Rory McElroy. You have
to yes, back to back champ, back to back for Max.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Yes, although Stu's personal record book it's three apparently.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Well yeah, he got one for Saturday.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I mean, just for doing nothing, letting the field come
back to him.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Thank you. Let's go to Iowa, Sam, Iowa, Sam, go ahead.
Speaker 8 (27:18):
All right, I was gonna take Rory. I'm bumping up
though a hometown favorite. I don't care if I get
dock points for this. But when Zack Johnson won in
two thousand and seven, the entire state of Iowa went nuts.
So I gotta take Zach Johnson because he would actually,
you know, go on to win a British Open. I
know that's separate championship, separate tournament, but the guy is
now with two majors. He's kind of in rare fight air.
(27:39):
So give me Zack Johnson two thousand and seven champion.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Sam has clearly never listened to any of the Mount
Rushmore segments.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
You're not going to get Dan, Byer's favorite. But that's fine.
I'd take a Homer pick Zach Johnson. Congratulate you on
fourth place.
Speaker 8 (27:52):
By I'm good with that. Was that like a brown ribbon?
I'm fine with that, al right.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
I get to here, m Man, interesting to go Zach
Johnson there, because you would almost assume he could have
just got him in.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
The fourth rounds. Yes, I would have left him, Yes,
fifth or sixth round.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Actually, if we were going a fifth round, if we
were going with a mount Greg Morton.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Oh, I don't know what to do here, man, I'm torn.
I have two picks, all right. I'm gonna take a
hometown guy, Larry Myz. I made fun of it in
the first segment, but that was the rare story where
not one of the favorites won, but it was still
a great story also with a great shot a chip
to win the Masters in sudden death, a guy that's
from Augusta who dreamed of winning that tournament his entire life.
(28:38):
Hometown kid.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
So I'll go Larry Miz who only won one. The
next one's gonna be tough. Who like is he? I'm
just gonna pick a name and hope that Dan Byer
likes this name. He won two. I'm gonna say Tom Watson. Wow, Yeah,
what a name. Yes, Tom Watson. So that's my four.
Right there, we go back to Iowa say, I'm unfortunately
(29:02):
all unfortunately. I love why it was Sam. I mean,
just seems like.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
A foregone conclusion.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yes, it's like a pro am tournament fourth gone conclusion.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Gus is an amateurs Mount Rushmore. I'm going with a
guy that like kind of disappeared if anyone could fill
me in.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
But I remember VJ. Sing being a name for a minute.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Wow, I had him on my board.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I will take VJ. Sing.
Speaker 8 (29:23):
He was the champion in the year two thousand.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
You knew that right off the top of your head. Huh.
Speaker 8 (29:30):
I just it's like one of those names. And when
I was a teenager, I'm like, okay, a VJ. Sing
Master's champion. Where's he been? Where's he been?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
I don't know where? That's where practice? Where is VJ Sing?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Bit?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
You kind of sung your answer too? Was that in
honor of singing? What did you do that? Well? The
old Conan bit in the year two thousand?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
All right, let's go back to Taylor here. I have
a feeling like I'm winning seve.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
By. He's off the board.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
So I'm gonna go with the ninety two Masters champion
and somebody that you could still pencil in. First round,
he's gonna be minus four when he gets to amen corner,
Freddie Couples.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
That's a great one, it really is.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yes, I'm telling you, he has the first five holes
committed to memory.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
After that the memory starts to face.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
Yes, so corner he just starts praying Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I mean, he's old. His back is killing him so good.
I wish he could have stayed healthy, all.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Right, So it's really tough and I'm struggling to leave
him off of my list.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
I was hoping one of you guys.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Would have taken Bubba Watson off the board because he
won a couple of them.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
He has this amazing one, amazing.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Ridiculous shot that he hit was just the creativity as
if with him is through the roof. But he just
hasn't done anything other than those two. Really in the Masters.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
That's all you need.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
But Bernhard Longer, he has won the two and he
also has competed for longer if you will get longer,
and he had a bounce with Jack Nicholas and just
super consistent in the Masters.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
So Bernhard Longer great is my fourth pick?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Really well? I would have stayed with Bubba. I would
have Yeah, that's why you're not gonna win that stan
Byer Shuffler know, Scottie Wow.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I'll tell you what just just immediately is he made
the right choice. I think that that Longer is a
better choice than Bubba Watson.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
I made the choice with my heart, with my head,
not my heart. He just respects the game. He likes Longer.
I mean I should have said Walter Hagen. I mean,
I'm upset.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
I think I think that that Longer's not only his longevity,
but also for how well he has played in some
of the Masters when he was later in age.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
I think that that plays a role with it. I
think that the Fredreddy Couples before Freddy Couples, Yeah, I
think the fred Couples pick was magnificent.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
I don't know if anybody gets more out of their
one win than Fred Couples does.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
You're right, it's it's a magnificent pick. Iowa, Sam, It's
four Zach Johnson and VJ. Singh. He was pretty a
tough spot. He made the right.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Pick with Arnold Palmer made the right pick with Gary
player on the back side, started out strong, Yeah yeah,
then tapered off Studio Stuarts third, what good collection of guys.
Mice may have turned it off. Maybe another guy maximizing.
But Fred Couples was a better player than Larry Mies was.
I think the hometown kid also allowed my to be special.
(32:30):
And because he broke Greg Norman's heart, so that also
puts you up on a higher on the list. But
I think overall, when you have Jack and Tiger there
like that's one two, that's gonna be one too. Fred
Couples was a great, great pick, so was Bernard Longer
over Bubba Watson.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Taylor wins is he a second?
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Unbelievable, But there's an asterisk next to the first one.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I mean, what do you know what you mean? Tiger's five?
He said that Dan.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
McElroy in the moment the Fred Couples the recognition to
say like, I can take someone with one win, and
no more so than Ian Woosdom. I mean, there are
a couple of two time winners of Jose Maria Olthabo.
You could have been Scotti Sheffler and maybe got some
recency bias, but to understand the couple's angle.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
That's what I loved.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I mean, it's fortunate for tailor. It's not about pronunciation.
I mean it was he would have lost in a landslide.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
I mean, Jesus, let me hear yes one more time
and the greatest Spanish golfers to ever live.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
Seve Brom.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
It's one of the words I don't have difficulties with,
one of the few eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
So this is interesting and it's why I love doing
the show and It's why I do why I love
doing live radio Masters.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Monday, we talked about it. Great.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
The NBA playoffs are starting in about a week. They
start on Sunday. We have to get through the play
in games, which is patently absurd. I mean, playing for
spots in which you're not going to do anything once
you make the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
I mean, he made the finals and twenty twenty three
out of the play in but that's neither here nor that.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
But I figure that is he loves the NBA so much,
into the Masters over the weekend, loves the NBA so much,
and finally his season has arrived. The second season, the postseason,
where everyone starts caring about the NBA. It's much like
college basketball, where we start caring in March. And yet
during the break, all I'm getting from Izzy is Justin
Bieber Coachella, Like that's it.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
It was not on my Bingo card today. It just wasn't.
And I've never felt older saying it wasn't on my
Bingo card.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Well that's you know, I didn't know which one was
gonna make you feel older, thinking that Justin Bieber is
like a new act or something, or the Bingo card
reference but the reason I wanted to talk about it
is just because I was explaining things to you guys,
and Taylor said three words that said, oh, Okay, I'm sold.
We'll definitely talk about this. Do you know what those
three words were? Tailor, I'm a believer. That's absolutely right,
(35:46):
because it's sort of a philosophical music thing that I
had questioned for you that I have to toe because
if you don't know the story, basically, I'm not gonna
give you all the details about you to death. But
Justin Bieber had a very tumultuous beginning of his career,
the young talented, super successful artist.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
He got broke, had to sell back.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
A lot of his you know, his own stuff, so
that he doesn't own any of his good music. He
made an album recently that is was his right. He
does own that, And he was signed to be a
the main headliner at Coachella for about ten million dollars,
which is crazy. So he can't without paying those other
folks perform those previous songs, right unless and I love
(36:29):
a good loophole unless, which is exactly what he did
after those thirteen straight songs where people were kind of
falling asleep from his new stuff. He went on YouTube
sto and just played them on YouTube. And when you
play them on YouTube and you're not performing them, no band,
no anything behind you, you don't have to pay them anything.
He sang along a little bit, a couple of words
here or there. Now, the thing that I have a
(36:50):
problem with to do is a lot of people said
this was boring, af like this was absolutely like I
get we got some of the old stuff, but he
wasn't actually singing it.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
It was. It was super intimate, but it's a.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Large outdoor facility obviously, And then when you're starting off
with your new album and a bunch of slow stuff,
it's like, I don't know if I want to see this.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
So I'm trying to decide if.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
It was brilliant because you are a believer and you
love the story arc, or if it was terrible because
you wanted to just go party and you didn't get
anything that you wanted.
Speaker 6 (37:17):
Yeah, there was a phase where it was like cool
to hate Justin Bieber. I never subscribe to that. I
could say the word subscribe, but I would listen to
all over Justin Bieber's albums, and funny enough, same exact
birthday March first, nineteen ninety four, as.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Wel ass, Wow, that's to get that in there. I
love Justin Bieber, I do. I mean, but I got
news for anyone who's doing a concert. No one wants
to hear your new stuff. Just play the hits. Nobody
wants to hear the new album. I mean, give me
some love yourself, give me some baby, give me some
of that, Give me the good songs, give me the
hits that I took my children, my daughters to go
see at the American Airlines Arena. I don't know, maybe
(37:54):
thirteen years ago or so.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
Some people argue he did give you the hits, he
just had to play it on YouTube and didn't actually
perform it himself.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
Not this right, It's not the same.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Yes, And when you mentioned Coachella, what I thought you meant,
because this is my Coachella is a bunch of coaches
getting together for some sort of convention.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
I mean, it sounds better. That's what a Coachella is.
