Speaker 1 (00:03):
The Golf PGA Tour is at the John Deere Classic
in Illinois, where one of your Longhorn brethren is leading
the golf tournament. No, Scotty's taken the week off. Wow,
just because just because Scotty's not there doesn't mean somebody
else from Texas can't play well. Jonathan Vegas, Doug Gim
(00:24):
who yes, mister and missus Gimm's kid. Oh okay, Doug
shot nine under today, sixty two. Max Homer and Austin
Eckrod are shot back, and a whole bunch of guys
are at minus seven.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
All right, cool, awesome.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
So Doug Gim has tried to it's been on the
tour about I don't know, five or six years, I
would guess, and trying to work his way into a
into a kind of startdom but struggle. We'll see if
he can finish it off this week. The field that
John Deere is not good, and they do have Jason
Day in it, they do have Ricky Fowler who shot
(00:59):
sixty five today. Basically the John Deere is one of
those tournaments now with the Scottish Open next week and
the British to follow. It's guys that are not already
qualified for the British They're playing this week to see
if they can play their way into the British Open
at Port Rush in two weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Hey, Max Homa's there.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah. Max has had some had some downtimes over the
last years. All right. So I was telling you earlier
that I was ridiculously bored with what was on TV
last night until about ten thirty when I flipped on
the Golf Channel and they were showing a replay of
Rory McIlroy's Open Championship win at Royal Liverpool in twenty fourteen,
(01:39):
and they were talking about, Okay, this is going to
open the door for more majors. Of course it's eleven
years since he would win another one, and talking about
his the greatness of him and how good he was
going to be, And then somebody decided to throw out
a Tiger stat and as good as Rory's been, as
good as Scottish Scheffler's been, as good as whoever you
(02:03):
want to pick, in the years that Tiger's kind of
been on on the downhill of his career and the
injuries that he went through, somebody mentioned this and Curtis
Strange just started laughing on a you know, this is
an eleven year old recorded thing, but they said, yeah,
between I think it was two thousand and two thousand
and six, Tiger won nine of thirty majors.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Nine of thirty majors. Wow, I can't do the math
in my head.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
That's well, there's four a year, so that's seven and
a half years he won nine of them.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Jesus, Tiger was really really good, andy.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
And every time really good. Every time somebody talks about
somebody doing something spectacular that they just throw out a
Tiger stat and and and then they just see what
the point of reference is. Here's one. And I don't
even remember how long ago this was, but there was
(02:58):
a where Colin mark Rakwa had had has had had
two wins and one miscut since turning pro. I think
this was a couple of years ago. He's the first
player since Tiger Woods to win twice on tour before
missing two cuts as a pro.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Okay, and who was that again?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Colin Tiger won? Tiger won forty three times between his
first and second miss cut.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Wow, I think what was it?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I saw it the other day because my my other
guy Xander has I guess the the longest active.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Streak making it in the sixties, now, isn't he.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I think it was like sixty six or sixty seven,
because he was flirting with not making the cut and
I was just like, oh, Tiger's probably looking at that,
looking at that, and he's like, oh, that's cute. He
was like that was me like in the first two years.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And the stat that still mind boggles everyone is if
scott he's gonna stay number one in the world, Uh,
to do it at the same level that Tiger did.
He's got to stay number one from now through twenty.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
And thirty four. And that's let's see, that's ninety nine
years from now.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
He's got to stay in He's got to stay number
one for the next nine consecutive years and then he'll
tie Tiger.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Just stay away from knives, Scottie at this point, to
stay away from knives, That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
So next week they play the Scotti ch Open. The
Scotti ch Open used to just kind of be a
run of the mill stop on the PGA Tour and
the PGA Tour when it got into more of a
complimentary feel with the European Tour because the European Tour
was running out of money and they needed money and
they need to be saved or they would have gone under,
(04:42):
and especially with the influence that Live was putting on
them a few years ago. So the PGA Tour and
the DP World Tour kind of got a partnership going.
And part of that partnership was to not only create
a more sense of urgency for the Scottisch Open, but
also elevated status and by making it a PGA Tour event,
(05:02):
now I'll have a full field. It's not a short field.
So they'll still be a full field because it's still
important to the local Scottish economy. But they play a
golf course and they have for the last several years.
They may not after next year. I think the contract
runs out after next year, but they signed a multi
year deal a couple of years ago with a club
(05:23):
called the Renaissance spelled Renaissance. But if you're in Scotland,
you know, when in Rome you do what the Romans do,
and when you're in Scotland, Scotland, you do what the
Scotchs do, and that is that's pronounced the words the
way they want to.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
You drink hot tea over there too.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I did not, but I had sticky toffee Puddy, but.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
That doesn't count. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And they call it the Renaissance. It's it's right next
to Merefield and a couple other famous courses in that area,
and that's where they're going to play this now. I'm
of the opinion that there are a lot of new,
really spectacular golf courses in Scotland, the Renaissance being one
that's been six or seven years old. There's another one
(06:05):
that in the St Andrews area that just recently got
built called Lombarney, another one called Kingsbarnes that's been around
for about twenty five years. The Trump courses are spectacular,
Trump Aberdeen and Trump International, and that's great if that's
your cup of tea. I always say, if you go
to Scotland, you play those golf courses and you come
back and go that's my favorite golf course, then you
(06:25):
really didn't experience Scottish golf. You experienced an American built
golf course in Scotland, but you did not experience scott
Scottish golf. I would much rather play golf courses that
have hundreds of years of history than the ones that
are brand new, and the Renaissance is brand new and
(06:46):
in order for Mirfield eventually get the Open again in
a few years. They're not They don't want to have
two majors back to back in the basically in the
same area. They that those towns aren't that big and
they have that many people there for that length of
time kind of messes up what they like to do
every day.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Well, I'm sorry, Andy, on the eve of America's birthday,
I am only going to want to support American golf courses.
I know that's hard to hear from you or to hear,
but you know it's for Renaissance, and it's it's Team America, man, team.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
A lot of Team Americans are already over there practicing
for next week.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Now.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Is this another one where even though it's called the
Scottish Open, do they still just refer to it as
the Open? That's Scottish Open, that's only the British Open, right, okay?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And it's and we have we have picks next week,
No two weeks, we don't. We're not picking the Scottish,
We're picking the We'll pick the British. Americans called the
Open the British Open to distinguish it from the US
Open years ago, but the Open Championship is what it's
always been referred to since eighteen sixty, when Old Tom
(07:53):
decided to have seven of his best friends play golf
and call it the Open, The.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Open Old Old Tom all right, Old Tom Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Old Tom Morris, Oh Tom, Okay, that guy.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
So you got Scottish next week and then the British
goes to Royalport Rush. The history behind royal Port Rush.
They played this tournament in twenty nineteen and the overwhelming
favor to win the tournament in twenty nineteen was Rory
and then he made quot on the first hole and
it was pretty much over with after that.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Trunk slam.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Well, he didn't trunk slam until the next day, but
he did not fare too well. Shane Lowry, his countryman,
won it. But they did not play the scott the
Open Championship at Royal Port Rush for about sixty years.
Twenty nineteen and the last time it had been played
there before was too It was nineteen fifty one. Now,
(08:42):
there was a lot of strife in Ireland and Northern
Ireland for a number of years in the eighties and
nineties that prevented people from wanting to be tourists there
and certainly to put on a major sporting event. But
once they were able to clean that all up, they
were able to get the championship back in. Most of
the golfers camp wait to go back there. The pictures
are magnificent, And yes, it is part of the bucket
(09:05):
list for some time down the road for me to
make an Ireland golf trip, and that would be one
I'd want to play.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
It's just another stone's throw away from him. You can,
you know, hit up Scotland Scotland again.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, I think I don't think I want to play
that much golf in a row. I think seven rounds,
six rounds eight as a lie, that would be the max.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Right now, that's a lie.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Andy, Andy, Andy, can't wait to go play golf, I
asked him the other I asked him earlier today. I'm like, so, hey,
good weekend because the fact that this year the fourth
of July is on a Friday. You get to have
your whole weekend Saturday and Sunday you get to go
play golf. And he's like, no, I'm playing golf tomorrow.
No golf on Sunday, I'm like, wow, way to give
the middle finger to America.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
There, Andy, I listen, I don't need to eat Hamburger's
hot dogs all day. I can do that for thirty
minutes and I'm good. I'm not going to sit around
waiting for dinner. Yeah, the golf course is open, let's go.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
I'm in America's somewhere is crying like why why.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Well, the golf courses will be full, so most of
them are excited about the fact that there's patronage going
on there. All right, all right, we've got Jonas Valentinus news.
We'll share that with you. Next, it's the Andy Everage Show.
On the ticket
The Golf PGA Tour is at the John Deere Classic
in Illinois, where one of your Longhorn brethren is leading
the golf tournament. No, Scotty's taken the week off. Wow,

shot nine under today, sixty two. Max Homer and Austin
Eckrod are shot back, and a whole bunch of guys

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Just stay away from knives, Scottie at this point, to
stay away from knives, That's all I'm saying.

So next week they play the Scotti ch Open. The
