Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah, you know, just guess it's gonna go out there

program and where SPF I am Harry Mays along with
Danielle Matthews no more. Today he might drop in from
the driving range at some private club in the Dominican
as he's down there enjoying Teeth of the Dog, which
I guess was closed to. That's why he's at a
private club today. But he's he's down there in the
Dominican enjoying his time. But we have a return guest

(01:16):
today and he's one of our favorites here on the show,
Jason Sobole. You hear him on Serious x MPGA Tour Radio,
CBS Sports HQ. He's an ambassador over at BET MGM.
You read him on the Athletic. You know, it's one
of the first most revered and recognized voices in the
golf media space. Jason, welcome back to the show Man.

(01:37):
We appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Thanks so much for having me. Good to see you guys,
and I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Now. Did I miss anything in your intro because you
I mean, you have anything else?

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, No, it's getting too long. I've got too many
jobs out there. But no, you nailed it.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
All right, very good.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
I'm just trying to stay busy.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Just don't want to have as much time, absolutely all right.
You know the PGA Scotty Scheffler, world number one, gets
major number three and he does it with far from
his A game. A lot to get into with this tournament,
But what were your initial thoughts on Scotty's performance and
and just the fact that you know there were so

(02:22):
many other big challengers, and they just never seemed to
just sort of be able to step up when he
looked the most vulnerable.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
He's just really really good at this stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
He's his A game is way better than everybody else's
A game, maybe besides Rory, but Rory doesn't show it
nearly as much. His B game is miles ahead of
everyone else's B game. I think my favorite stat for
the weekend was that this happened twice. On Saturday afternoon
on the back nine. At one point Scotty trailed by
two strokes. Less than an hour and a half later,

(02:55):
he led by three a five shot swing. On Sunday,
when he got to the turn, he was tied with
John rob Or maybe just after he'd started the tenth all,
and within an hour and a half he was a
leader by five. That's two five shot swings on the
weekend of a major championship. If we see one five
shot swing at the top of the leaderboard in a

(03:15):
regular PGA Tour event on the weekend.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
We're like, oh my goodness, that was what a move
somebody just made.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
It's like they went on the inside turn and a
racetrack and just went past everybody else. You see it
twice and a major championship at the top of the
leaderboard that is completely unheard of. And that's exactly what
Scottie Scheffler did this weekend, So really, really impressive, and
I would not be surprised.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
I mean, I get it.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Look, I always say that even though golf is a
game that moves slow, things move fast outside of the sport.
And I know we're only a month removed from talking
about Rory McElroy has the career Grand Slam, and this
could free him up and take the weight off his
shoulders and he may go out there and win a
whole bunch more majors because it And yet a month

(04:01):
later we're sitting here going I don't know if Scotty
Shuffler is ever going to lose again the way he.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Just played this weekend, the way he dominated.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
So I really do think that Scotty has reasserted himself
as the number one player in the game, whether that
was in literal name or whether it was just sort
of how we were thinking after Rory started the year
on a little bit of a tear.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
But Scotty is the best player in the world right.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Now with Jason.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
I read one of your recent articles that you did
for MGM, and you were highlighting how Scotty's ability to
recover from the stake sets him apart, what makes his
mental game so good, like especially under pressure of major championships.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, I think if we knew that someone would try
to bottle it until everybody else out there. I feel
like Scotty, and this is a word we used about
Rory mclory after the Masters, but I feel like Scotty
is so unburdened that Rory didn't talk to the media
and I think was perturbed about the fact that it
was leaked that is original driver was deemed non conforming,

(05:02):
which really isn't a big deal in the whole scheme
of things.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Scotty had the exact same thing happened.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Bryson finishes, and Bryson's talking about needing to find.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
A golf ball that goes straighter.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
John Rahm is talking about how hard golf is and
trying to work his way through it.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Scotty's like, I don't know. I went out there, I
hit the ball.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
And you know I was going to all the left,
so aim further right, and that seems to work out.
For me, it's just he's boiled it down to all
these simplicities, and I know it's not that easy. And
I'm not trying to make it sound like Scotty Scheffler's
not thinking his way around the golf course and doesn't
have a great mental side to the game as well,
But it just feels like.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
He's so competitive.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
He just wants to go out there and win and
isn't bothered by anything else, whether it's in his life,
in his game, anywhere else.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
So look, I think it's it's.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Very tough to beat him mentally, but it's even tougher
to beat him physically.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Just the swing, everything he's put together.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's just it's hard to describe because I think when
Tiger Woods was dominating, I don't want to make any
Tiger comparisons. It's not fair to Tiger, it's not fair
to Scotty. It's not fair to the rest of us.
Tiger won's sixteen majors. Scotty's got thirteen more.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
To go to get there.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
I mean, he's gonna have the career he's had so
far times four plus one.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
I mean, it's just, you know, there's a long way
to go. We don't want to make Tiger comparisons.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
That said, I think it's fair to look at the
dichotomy between how Tiger won golf tournaments and Scotty's winning
golf tournaments, and Tiger would dominate, and when you knew
he was dominating, you knew, like, Wow, that dude is
doing some crazy stuff and he has beating everybody and
there's nobody that's gonna catch him.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Scotty does it and he almost lulls you to sleep.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
I talked about those two five shot swings on the weekend,
and it's almost like you don't see him coming.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
And I'm sure John Raw not that he was playing
with him.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
He's two groups in front of him, so it's all
you can even see him, But look at the leaderboard.
It's like, all right, we're right there, and next thing
you know, you blink and you're like, what just happened?
Like Scotty Like it wasn't like Scotty's just firing darts
to two feet and tapping in for birdie on every hole.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
No, he's just grinding his way up the leaderboard.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
And so it's it's very different from Tiger, but it's
almost a little more relatable.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
I think Scotty commented and said, can we not have
the leaderboard of like T forty five? He goes, when
I look over and look up, I want to see
it like the top ten. He said, if you want
to look at the rest, like look on your phone,
look at your app, like I need to look over
and be like, well, what do I have to do?

Speaker 4 (07:35):
I thought that was a pretty great comment from him.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Well, I'm glad you evoked the name Tiger Woods because
that's really what I wanted to bring up, because we
are seeing Tiger Woods like performances out of Scotty Scheffler.
And I don't know what it was back in late nineties,
early two thousands when Tiger started doing his Tiger things.
You know, were they mentioning Jack Nicholas or when when
did they start to bring up Jack Nicholas in relation

(08:01):
to what Tiger was doing? And you know, I say,
you say, it's not fair to Tiger and not fair
to Scotty. I get all that, but we are seeing
this in real time and we haven't seen it since
that guy, So it's sort of like how do you
balance it? I mean, you're you're in this world every
day doing this stuff and you're watching it and you
know what you're seeing, Like, we haven't seen any of

(08:22):
this for this longest sustained period of time since Tiger Woods.
When is it fair to start really comparing, like what's
the number?

Speaker 3 (08:32):
It's a great question. We're not there yet.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's just again, it's not fair. First of all, it's
not fair to Tiger. You know, Tiger's sitting at home
right now, still nurse and injuries, you know, watching this
podcast obviously saying I can't believe.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Like, have you guys seen I won eighty two times?
I won sixteen majors?

Speaker 2 (08:51):
You guys, I know Scotty's really good, but you guys
are gonna compare Scotty to me.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
That's not fair. And I get it.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
And Scotty's gonna be sitting there listening to this spot
guests too, saying, come on.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Guys, I'm playing really well right now.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
I'm the best player in the game. But don't put
me up against that guy.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
That's not fair yet. And so I know we do it.
We do it in every sport. And I know that.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yes, Tiger, very early in his career was getting the
Nicholas comparisons, and Nicholas very early in his career was
getting the Hogan comparisons, and Hogan was getting the Jones comparisons.
I'm sure he's going on Twitter back then and everyone
was saying, Man, this guy's gonna be the next Bobby Jones,
except he's getting money for it.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
He's turning professional.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
That said, yeah, look, I think we can It's a
very fine line here. I think we can make the
analogies and talk about how, you know, they win in
some similarities and some differences, and you know what it
is between them. But to make direct comparisons, to say
that Scottie Scheffler is the next Tiger Woods, he's winning

(09:53):
like Tiger, it's really difficult and and you know.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
I I think we tried to say this. Tried to
do this with Rory McElroy over.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
A decade ago, when Rory was winning the twenty eleven
US Open and then picked off another one not too
long afterwards. We're like, ah, this guy's the next Tiger.
So we tend to get into it too quickly. I
get that Scotty, he's the best player in the world
right now. But again, I talked to just a minute
ago about how Rory won last month and we're talking
about him being one of the greatest ever and the

(10:23):
sixth player to have the career Slam, and Rory might
go win at Oakmah and we're like, I don't know,
maybe Ory's the best player in the world.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
So again, things move very fast in this world.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
And just days after Scotty won the PGA Championship got
a third major and it looks like he is far
and away the best player in the world. A month
from now, we can be sitting there and saying, I
don't know, there's pretty good race at the top and
we're not sure the best player is.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Things move quicker than you would think in golf.

Speaker 5 (10:49):
Tiger stats are my favorite kind of stats, and so
this is just a nice segue to follow it from
what you were saying. But the latest Scotty has to
win fifty six of his next one and ten starts to.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
Catch up to Tiger's win rate through two hundred and
fifty starts.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
So yeah, Tiger won seventy one times in his first
two hundred and fifty starts.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
So that can kind of put that conversation to rest, right.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
I love that stat. That's amazing.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
It's amazing. But you know what, enough Scottie, enough Tiger,
enough Rory.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
For now, give us a name of someone who's flying
a little under the radar right now that golf fans
or our listeners should be paying more attention to.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Okay, I love this question. I'm going to go deep
on you because it depends what level we want to
You know, I could give you a top ten type
players flying under the rate. Ludwig Odberg has not played
his best golf, missed the cut last week.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
He's going to be a generational talent. I just know it.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
He's his floor I think is John Rahm, and I
think his ceiling is even higher.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
I'm not saying he's going to get to the Scotty
Rory kind of level.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
But Ludwig Odberg is really really good. That said, and
where'd my note go?

Speaker 3 (11:56):
I got? I've got notes all over the place.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
I mean, if you want to just talk about underrated players,
here's you know, I feel like these guys are.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
All very similar. But this is like my all glue team.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
You know, if we're talking about in an NFL team,
like the guys in the trenches who don't get enough
of the credit but should make the Pro Bowl every year,
Like Max Grazerman and Ben Griffin and Alex Smalley and
Jacob Bridgman and Ryan Girard.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
These are all guys.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Who, like week in week out, you're seeing at least
a couple of those names on every single leader board,
and yet your average golf fans like I don't know
those guys. If you're betting on golf, if you're you know,
looking into the odds every week, you know who they are.
If you're really into it, you know who they are.
If you're just an average casual fan who's watching some
weekend rounds and you just know the big names. I

(12:43):
just mentioned five guys you've either never heard of or
couldn't pick out of a lineup. They're all really really
good players. And the PGA Tour again, it's kind of
the theme I've been talking about here, but things move
pretty quickly, and the guys that two or three years
ago were like, oh, those are really good, they're.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Not playing as well as a lot of these players
I just mentioned.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
It sounds I love that grasierman too, that that's such
a story. I've watched and followed him for a long time.
Seom Get his card last year was incredible, and then
Ben Griffin too with quitting golf for a little bit
coming back.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
That's love.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
That answer sounds like a great ACC All Star team
from back in the day. Those guys you just laddled
off there. This is the kind of great stuff you
got to get. If you follow Jason on social media
at Jason Soble Golf, you can fit forty three beers
inside the Wanna Maker Trophy. Now that is valuable information

(13:36):
for everybody that loved beer and golf.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
So this was a test study by Jason Duffner back
in twenty twelve.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
When you want to kill.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
The weird thing about this is that I remembered it.
I went and looked it up before I tweeted it,
just to make sure. But I'm like, I think it's
forty three. And I looked it up and it was
forty three, and I'm like, I can only imagine, Like
the human brain can only have so much capacity to
hold information. So I'm like, what have I forgotten so
that I could remember that the Wannamaker Trophy olds.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Forty three beers? What are you talk about? Useless information?
I wish I didn't know that, but I do know that.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
But you tipped off, like in a couple of weeks,
we might be talking about Rory dominating at Oakmont. You know,
the stories change, everything moves so fast. You and the
story business. Which one would you prefer? Would you prefer
like a Scotty win another one? And you know, do
you like the dominance of one player kind of story
or do you like, you know, two or three or
four of these guys all competing at the top and

(14:37):
could win any any week.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Look, I can.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
I can write your story either way, and I could
be okay with either one of those.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
I think right.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Now, because everyone's just a notch below Scotty that it's like,
if we're here for the Scotty era, we might as
well see it dominate and continue to dominate. I don't
know what else can really be written about Scotty. I'm
I'm running out of superlatives to talk about his game,
So I'm not sure if he goes and wins by
five at Oakmont, it's sort of like, I don't know

(15:09):
where else we're going with this.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
You know, you kind of run into a little bit of.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
A roadblock where you're like, he's really good, and he's
still really good, and he's getting better and you know,
I just don't know how much more comes out about
you know, just how good scott he is. That said
be a hell of a story. And I really think,
and I thought this before Quail Hollow, that we were
not going to get a winner from outside that top

(15:35):
tier of seven to eight top players. I think this
even more so about Oakmont. I was at Oakmont in
twenty sixteen for the US Open. Dustin Johnson won that one.
He was one of the best players in the world
at the time.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
I just don't see.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
I mean, look, I give advice in the betting markets
on a weekly basis, and I would love to find
you one hundred and fifty to one long shot who
has a chance to win. I just don't see it
coming out of the top tier. And it might only
be a few guys in the top tier. It might
only be Scottie and Xander and John Rahm, and I

(16:09):
guess I'll throw Rory in there as well. But that
might be the list of players and Bryson of course
as well. That might be the list of players who
can and should win the US Open at Oakmont. I
hope it goes deeper. I think it's fun when we've got.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
More players in the mix, but boy, you know, it's
just so tough.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
I spoke with James Han on PGA Tour radio yesterday
and James isn't playing much golf right now, and he
qualified through a local qualifying and final qualifying for.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
The US Open.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
He got through the other day in the Dallas sectional,
and he said afterwards, told us you could put a
dollar on me at a million to one, You've got
no chance, Like, I cannot win this golf tournament.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Scotty is way too good. The course is too hard.
I know that already. It frees me up. I can
just go out there and play golf. But I think
there are a lot of players that are going to
come into this one. Whether you're playing on PGA Tour
right now, where you're playing decent.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Golf, you're like, I'm not beating that guy Scottie over there,
He's gonna beat me. And so, you know, it's kind
of the old brooks Kepta thing where you're saying, you
know a lot of guys are.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Eliminated before you even step onto.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
The first t and I think a lot of the
guys are eliminated by the fact that Scotty just shows
up and you know he's not gonna play bad golf.

Speaker 5 (17:21):
Imagine showing up being like, all right, I guess we'll
go for second place this week.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
That's gotta be tough, right, Jason.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
Are you up for a little fun wrapping fire? Not
sixty seconds on the clock. If I do it and we're.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
Gonna we're gonna do it anyway.

Speaker 5 (17:36):
Cool short answer is one word preferred. We're going to
get through as many as we can. One minute on
the clock. You ready, all right? Starting the clock now?
Who's got the best short.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
Game on tour right now?

Speaker 5 (17:49):
Scotty Sheffler, hardest shot at Oakmont, any putt, the most
misunderstood part of the golf's.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Ooh, that's a tough one, real wedge game.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
A guy to watch on corn.

Speaker 5 (18:12):
Ferry Tour right now, Johnny Keefer, favorite club in your bagh.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
It's my fifty six best golf course you've ever played.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Gusta National is not bad.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
Elevated events make the fields larger, or Keepez is larger.
A storyline you think deserves a little more attention right now?

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Anything, LPGA, nobody's paying attention.

Speaker 5 (18:40):
One guy to bet on every week for the rest
of the season, Daniel Berger.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
All right, that's our time.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, A lot of people like Burger this week. Do
you like Burger to win this week? Is that? Is
that a tip?

Speaker 2 (18:52):
My advice this week, first of all, is to stay
in the without Scottie Scheffler markets.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
I just love this.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Feels like deja vu from the CJ cub Byron Nelson
three weeks ago, Scotty playing in a less than elite
level field in his home state. I want no part
of Scotty at plus two to twenty five, and I
want no part of anyone else against Scotty. I call
the Scotty Scheffler conundrum in the betting Market's like you
don't want to bet them at such a short number,
but you don't want to bet a whole lot of

(19:20):
other guys because they're probably not going to beat them.
So I love the without Scotty market this week. Burger
I like this week, not as much as I've liked
him in other weeks, but yeah, I've got him in
my BETMGM preview for a top five this week. I
like Aaron Rye watch out if you want big numbers,
and we've seen five players in the last six Charles

(19:42):
Schwab Challenge events at fifty to one or bigger pre tournament.
Eric Cole, Tom Hogy, Andrew Putnam are some names out
there that can play well this week, but again, I
want to avoid Scotty at all costs.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
What was your take on the live player's performance at
the PGA. They had three in the top eight. You know,
you saw Bryceon and John Rahm contending for a while.
Looks like, you know, maybe one of them might be
able to take it. Joaquin Neeman finally showed up in
a major with a top eight finish. What was your
overall impression of those guys.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
I think the live players are starting to separate themselves
from the guys who really want to show up those
four times a year when everybody's watching and everyone's paying
attention to them, and the guys who are not really
motivated to go play their best golf. And I think
that it's these three guys. Really, it's Bryce, that's Ram
and I do think Neiman's a.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Really good player.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
He's shown it more on live than in the major championships,
but I'll give him credit for the top ten this
past week, and I think he's coming along. I think
he's gonna be a good player for a really long time.
And I'm not really writing off brooks Kopke yet, but boy,
he has looked really disinterested at the first two major
championships of this year, so we're seeing some separation there.

(20:55):
I don't agree with the Brandle Shambly assessment.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
That these guys didn't hang.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
With Scottie Scheffler and didn't give themselves a better chance
to win because they play on live and because they're
not being challenged on a regular basis.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Look, we can say that about Rory McElroy.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
You would say Rory hasn't been challenged on the PGA Tour,
that's why he finished in forty seventh place. You wouldn't
say Justin Thomas and Ludwig Oldberg missed the cut because
they're not playing in bigger events.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
It's just a weird sentiment to.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Say that the live players who were right there, who
are the guys that at least were closest to Scottie Scheffler,
aren't getting the kind of reps that they need because
those guys played really well.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
So I have nothing bad to say about them.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
They're showing up at the major championships Scotty's just really
really good. They didn't happen to win this time, but
it would not shock me to see Bryson or Rom
win either of the next two major championships.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Reps. Bryson at Oakmont, I do like Rom at Royal
Port Rush, So we'll see what happens.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, it was great toy you Rom up there.

Speaker 4 (22:03):
Oh yeah, I had that going in our group.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Tax He's like, I knew he was going to show up.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yeah, yeah, Jason.

Speaker 5 (22:10):
We'd like to always ask who should we have as
a guest on our podcast next?

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Oh my goodness, you should have Scotty Scheffler on. You
want to text them for Yeah, let me see what
I can get. Uh, who should you have on? That's
a great question I need like hmmm from media, A.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
Player whoever you think just gives us some good you
know what.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
I will go back to those five you asked me for,
the like five players to watch out for. I will
go back to those five gracermand Griffin, Smalley, Bridgeman, George
just because I have it written on my index card
right here and it's sitting in front of me.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
But uh, I.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Think five of them, Yeah, I think I've interviewed all
five of them on PGA to a radio. They're all
really good. Ryan Gerard came on with us. It was
the Mexico Open. I think, in any.

Speaker 5 (23:07):
Case, what time do you grab these guys on a
tournament week, Like, what's an appropriate time to interview somebody
who's in the.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
Field that week? Uh, Monday night, Monday night.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Look, I found that for as much as Danielle, you know,
this being around the game, but I found that for
as much as like, yes, tournament golf is important and
these guys are busy that they're also just playing golf,
you know, like it's some At some point, you know,
you go, well, I know you can't do it Thursday
because you got the tournament. And they're like, I can

(23:41):
talk to you for ten minutes. I mean, like it's
not it's also not a matter of life and death,
you know, for this long ago this is a way
back story, but I remember Jeff Ogilvey was leading after
three rounds of the Tour Championship one year and his
favorite rugby team or Aussie rules football team was in
the championship. At three am Eastern time that night, and

(24:05):
the reporters were asking, well, what are you gonna do.
I set my alarm for three am. I'm gonna watch
for two hours. I'll go back to sleep for a
few hours. I was, isn't that gonna disrupt your sleep?
And isn't that gonna do this for you to like
I'm just.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Playing golf tomorrow. It's wait, wait up for two hours.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
In the middle of the night, watch my team go play,
Like what are we talking about here? And that just
kind of shined the light on it for me. Now,
granted he didn't win the next day, so I.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
Should maybe should have stayed asleep.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah, but like I at some point, I mean, I
I know, we try to give everything this gravity and
they're playing a big professional golf tournament.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
You can't.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
At some point, it's just they're going out to play
golf the next day and it's just it's important, but
it's not the most important thing in the world.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
And you know, they're just basically Scotty's mentality, like he says,
you know, we go home, I don't talk about golf.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
We act like we're in high school.

Speaker 5 (24:56):
Like maybe that's the sauce we got a bottle up,
like you were saying, I shared a stat or not
a staff part of me. I shared just like a
fun little video that we saw last week, and it
was a bunch of guys standing behind their friend on
the tee heckling home as if he was a baseball player,
and they're like, we're so confused. Why you have to
be quiet for a golfer to hit a ball that's
not moving. But we can be in a stadium screaming

(25:18):
at these baseball players who we're trying to hit a
ninety plus mile an hour fastball coming at them, and
you know, it's just funny how there's such a difference
in golf compared like in that comparison.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
Anyway, it made me laugh.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah, yeah at my club. Look, if someone's not talking
while you're hitting, you're like, what's wrong? Why are you
guys so quiet? Yeah, We're always talking, and you just
kind of get used to it.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
I mean, I get that, like if somebody yells out
in the middle of your back swing.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Like that can kind of, you know, catch you like
you're on the downswing.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
That's why I've always said, if I'm playing sixteen at
TBC Scottsdale during the WM Phoenix Open, I'm going like
this to the crowd. I'm like, everyone makes no noise
that way. The one idiot who yells the middle of
your down swing, it gets drowned out by everybody else.
And it's not really a big deal. But if you
tell everyone I be quiet, everybody, I've got to hit
the ball. One person yells out and then it's gonna

(26:08):
wreck your swing.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
We have Tiger's dad jingling the change all the time
and making disruptions.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Yeah, yeah, I love it.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Hey, Jason, before we let you go, I have to
ask you about your impression of the Cricket Club a
few weeks ago for the Truest and what you thought
about that as a venue.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah, I look, I loved it. I played Cricket Club
a few summers ago. I'm lucky enough to have some
good friends.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
In the Philly area where you guys are, and I
thought it was a terrific venue.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
And I played.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
I thought it really showed out. I was really worried
after the first day. It was soft, it was wet.
All these guys are shooting in the low sixties, and
I thought that it wasn't going to show out for
the week, And it really did. You know, it toughened
up and I thought it was a really good not
just test of golf, but it was a fun It

(26:58):
was a fun course to watch on TV.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
That was my lock of the week that week. It
wasn't anyone in the betting markets.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
It was that people from around the country are gonna
watch Philly Cricket Club on TV and say, I got
to call my friend who's got a friend in Philly
and we're gonna make a trip there because I need
some connections to get on that golf course.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
Then everyone's gonna watch it and say.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
I need to go play that golf course someday, and
they're not wrong because it is a fantastic track.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
So I'm glad you guys are getting some golf there.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
We've got a rondom inc for the PGA next year,
which is a favorite of mine. We've got maryon in
twenty thirty again, which of course is terrific. So glad
that you guys are getting some big time golf the
next few years.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, very good. It was cool to hear the players
say that they enjoyed playing that type of golf course
because they don't get to play in tournament's on that
type of old school track anymore. Very often at least yeah, yeah, cool.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Now this week we'll see another one in Colonial, But yeah,
it's they're too few and far between. And look, there's
a lot of criticism of Quail Hollow last week, and
I know a lot of people are like, this isn't
you know, this isn't a major championship venue. There's a
PGA Tour stop and we see it every year. Look,
I get the criticisms. I you know, I will defend
Quail Hollow a little bit.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
I like the golf course.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
I thought it played well. I get I understand what
they're saying. But also, and I think most golf fans
don't realize this, but it's about a whole lot more
than just being a good major championship golf course. You
walk around that place and it's massive. There's so much
infrastructure for corporate tents and concession stands and parking. There's

(28:36):
instead of cart paths going through the golf course, there's
like almost roads, almost like a two lane highway. You
can move traffic around. People aren't getting into these bottlenecks
where they can't move and people are you know, it's
it's just a good place for a major championship even
if you don't love the golf course, so you've got
to understand that there's things beyond the actual course itself

(29:00):
that work really well.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, I totally agree. Listen, man, we appreciate it. Look
forward to touching base with you again down the road
at Jason Soble Golf on social media. He's great. Listen
to him every day on PGA Tour Radio and follow
him on bet MGM. Gives great betting advice, fantasy advice
and everything. Thanks so much, man, you got it.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Thanks guys, appreciate you having me.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
All right, we'll take a quick time out, be back
with a whole lot more right after this. All right,
we're back, and thanks again to Jason Soble. He's so
good he can go. You can go anywhere with him
in the game of golf. But now we're going to
go down to the Dominican Republic and we are going
live to a private club on the dr with Moose

(29:43):
and his boys enjoying a great couple of days down
there in the sun. And give us an update where
you're at and how's it going.

Speaker 6 (29:51):
Just started round two of our competition at La Romano.
Played died for yesterday. It was amazing fire was Big Poppy,
the famous caddy from the Medican Republic, some of the boys.
Let me give you a little shot of Greenie coming
up here on the on the green from a bunker.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
I love the golf boss that we have right now.

Speaker 6 (30:09):
A little long, but he's good. And I'm gonna take
you guys through a live hutting demo here and see
if we can make something happen.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Okay, are you gonna do a one hand stroke? Are
you gonna have someone else hold the camera? What are
we gonna see here?

Speaker 1 (30:24):
I'm gonna have somebody.

Speaker 6 (30:25):
I'm gonna have somebody hold the camera. This is for
Bertie actually.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Nice just off the green, Yeah, the green.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
We got green in her.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
So Greeneye went from the bunker over to here. Now
he's on the green.

Speaker 6 (30:45):
All right, that's trouble. It just looks like my hole
in the competition here, like byhole.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Now, who's your teammate? Is it you and Greenee? In
this one?

Speaker 6 (30:56):
Greeny? It's a four on four, So it's two different
two different matches, but it's a different game too.

Speaker 5 (31:03):
Now you're just you're you're on the fringe there right
right off the green. Are you using your Potter. Are
you gonna use like a.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
What how we putting this?

Speaker 6 (31:09):
Yeah, I'm gonna putt I'm gonna I'm gonna rely on
my cat to hear Big Poppy to tell me where
to put this. He usually does a pretty good job
for me. But I want to have Greenie come take
the camera all right and say some things. If you
can make this work.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
Here, Greeny gonna narrate for us.

Speaker 6 (31:25):
Greenie, would you be so both to come.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
And give us your best Miss.

Speaker 6 (31:32):
Birdie put live greedy, I would feel all right. You're
gonna have to hold it out this way though.

Speaker 5 (31:40):
Hey Greenie, we're gonna need your We need your best
nance voice take us through us.

Speaker 6 (31:48):
I got the earbds and so I don't think you're
gonna be able to hear Greeny.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
But oh okay, well.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
You can narrate us through your own.

Speaker 6 (31:55):
I told me, I gotta be a little bit outside,
maybe about two feet. You listen to Big Poppy to Caddy.
You don't ask any questions, Just listen to the man
whatever he tells you to do.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Get up there.

of the trip.

Speaker 6 (32:24):
What else we're playing dive for again? That's for four. Yeah,
that's for four.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
I can put.

Speaker 1 (32:30):

Yeah, you're gonna have to order more balls from Buy
My Balls. I mean, how are you.

(33:19):
this week?

Speaker 4 (33:20):
We sure do. Hair.

Speaker 5 (33:21):
We have some fun stuff to talk about.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
We kind of talked a little bit about Brooks with Jason.
But Brooks one of the guys.

Speaker 5 (33:29):
He was spotted in a QT gas station with a
rack of Miller light after his round and some guy.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
You know, imagine going in the gas.

Speaker 5 (33:37):
Station and people taking pictures of everything you're buying, or
Brooks are just standing there with, you know, a case
of Miller Light. He just wanted a couple of beers
after a bad round, and soone ends up snapping a
photo of them and it goes viral on the internets.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, now he was. He was in an Ultra commercial
campaign years ago, which I found kind of interesting because
he was in an Ultra and then he goes and
gets the Miller Light. Now they're very.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
Say, he goes out, I don't want to I don't
want to chick Ultra.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
I want the Miller Light exactly or maybe learn calorie.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
Yeah, maybe the endorsement ran out and he was like, whatever,
it's some additional ta. This was kind of cute. Bennett
Scheffler caught on tape.

Speaker 5 (34:19):
A sports director Matt Solarte got a pretty great video
of Bennett standing alone for the first time. Meredith's kind
of sitting there just off the green and you see
Bennett kind of crawl over and then stand up, and
then he stands by himself and she's just like, oh
my god, and she motions over the Scottie and he's
like twenty feet away and she's like hey, and he

(34:40):
looks and she's just all excited, so kind of crazy.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
You know, You're dad does.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
That a lot, Meredith, she does a lot of oh
my god, a lot of that. You know, maybe it's
permanently like that.

Speaker 5 (34:53):
Yeah, I mean, when your husband wins every week, everything's
just like yeah, maybe it's.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
Just don't stuck on her face. But okay.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
So one of the most Patrick read things I have
ever seen. Live Golf posted a reel of Patrick's body
following him around the course.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
This guy is an absolute unit, Harry. It's hilarious.

Speaker 5 (35:15):
I mean, I guess it's so people don't heckle him,
but yeah, I'm not sure. This feels like this would
make me want to heckle him more.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
Can you imagine seeing this on the PGA tour.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yeah? I could actually, And I think that's exactly what
it is. I think, you know, he just doesn't want
to let the heckling get out of hand. He's one
of those guys. He seems like he wants to wear
the black hat. But then you do things like this,
It kind of lets you know that you really don't
want to wear the black hat, you know.

Speaker 5 (35:43):
Yeah, yeah, but I mean like, well, what is that
guy going to do. You're allowed to say stuff, so
what is that big, big guy going to go over
and be like, Harry, don't talk.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Well, like you can say stuff, but then there's stuff
that gets you thrown out, because my buddy's been thrown
out of the Players Championship I think twice for Heckling
Ian Poulter back in the day, and Poulter would just
find him and say, look, they and point to that
guy in the green shirt or whatever he's out and
then they'd take you off the property. So maybe that's
what the guy's there for.

Speaker 4 (36:11):
Certain things that you're not allowed to say. Yeah, imagine Avange.
They need some of those.

Speaker 5 (36:16):
That's from high school basketball games or some college baseball games.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
Those things get nasty. Those kids do some research on
the other teams.

Speaker 5 (36:24):
But yeah, you guys, if you didn't see it, you
got to watch this guy. I mean looks like he
hasn't had a carb in his life. Just eats straight
up raw.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
Meat or something.

Speaker 5 (36:34):
It's a pretty great video and live shows like the
perfect music to go along with it.

Speaker 4 (36:38):
So it's entertainment. Yeah, if you want some entertainment. Look
that up. I'll shoot it in our group text nice,
this is really cool golf.

Speaker 5 (36:46):
I just posted footage from the nineteen forties and I
never knew that this happened. Harry, maybe you did, but
fans used to race to get the winner's ball. So
as soon as like the you know, final part on
eighteen was hit in, you just see like a wash
bit of everyone just running and trying to grab the
ball out of the cup.

Speaker 4 (37:04):
It's wild. Did you know that this happened?

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Well, I've seen that, I've seen footage like that. I
didn't know it was a thing that happened like routinely,
but maybe it was. But yeah, it's pretty crazy, like
people just diving for the for the cup and take
their hands in there to pull out the ball. It's crazy,
it really is.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
Jason kind of mentioned it a little bit, but the
kind of all that video popping up about Rory's driver
being non conforming and people going crazy because did you
see the video, It's like a Rory hit in the
drive and then going over to like the track man
or the quad stats and seeing everything. So that came out,

(37:44):
but people like the full information that's coming out it's like,
probably every driver is non conforming. It can be conforming
right now, but they played Thursday and it's like, unless
the driver has tested every single day, they said, majority
of them are probably going to be non conforming.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
I mean, you're hitting a ball with it.

Speaker 5 (38:02):
How many times you're on the range doing it, It's
gonna be off. It's not like, you know, you're like, hey,
I'm bringing in this sneaky driver that's going to make
a difference. It's like from the wear and tear, and
Scotty's was non conforming this week, right.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
It is curious though, how it got out that Rory's
was that that video and it wasn't Rory telling anybody,
you know, so that that that I found kind of interesting.
And then I saw the picture of his the face
of his driver with the wear mark on it. It's
like a thumb print right in the middle of the face.
Good hit any any better?

Speaker 6 (38:35):
You know?

Speaker 4 (38:35):
The wear mark?

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Yeah, yeah, you know. And that and that metal gets
you know, gets thinner, I guess. And it has sort
of a springing, sort of a trampoline effect to it,
which can add maybe a couple of yards. The difference
is not really that big of a deal from what
I was told, But they do it for a reason,
so it's it's just kind of interesting because then you
immediately start thinking, all right, well, how long has it

(38:59):
been on conforming because did they test it prior to.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
You know what the rule?

Speaker 5 (39:05):
The rules though, they're the rules. So unless they switch
it to testing the driver every single day, it is
what it is because Scotty did it. I'm sure Tiger did.
It happens all the time. And you know what, like a.

Speaker 4 (39:16):
Driver, I always say a driver head is like a haircut.

Speaker 5 (39:19):
It gets or like your hair, like it gets really
good before it gets bad, and you know, your hair
looks really good and as it's like it's too long,
you know you got to cut it, you got to
fix it. Driver heads just like that. All of a sudden,
it's like wow, like I'm striping everything. Everything's perfect, this
driver has hot and then all of a sudden cracks
and it's bad or you know, you.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
Spray one off and it's terrible.

Speaker 5 (39:37):
Like so you know, it's it's a tool that you're hitting,
you know, a ball, how hard with how much force?

Speaker 3 (39:44):
And it's but it's roy.

Speaker 4 (39:47):
We're going to find a way to try to take
it away from it.

Speaker 5 (39:50):
Yeah, but Scotty's was not conforming this past week, so
it's like, what are we going to go back and
try to find video. That's why people can't call in
and say, hey, this person the ball over and marked
it wrong, or hey, take away Rory's Grand Slam because
his driver is non gooing for me.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
Take away Scott He's went stop it.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
Or then you can just say I'm not going to
speak to the media for four straight days and just
go home.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
Rory did comment too, though, like on.

Speaker 5 (40:18):
Kind of his take on the media and how he
like kind of backed up and then how he stopped
talking about live and everything too. He said like, yeah,
I was into the conversation in the beginning and you know,
kind of advocating for the PGA and everything else, and
he's like, I need to just focus on golf and
I need to stop doing this and being involved in this,
Like I don't want to be I just want to
show up and play golf and I don't want to
be talking everybody and.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
You know, be this.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
You know, he talks out of both sides of his mouth.
Because he also said that the players need to be
more accessible to the fans, and that's through the media,
and then he just walked away for four straight days.
So a guy like him in his position cannot do that.
It's that simple.

Speaker 5 (40:56):
Yeah, And especially when you are you do have that
kind of position on the right.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
And the previous Major was the one where you closed
it down finally and won the Grand Slam. I mean,
it's just it's typical Rory McElroy. I mean I kind
of come to expect it.

Speaker 4 (41:12):
You know, we know how much you love him.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
Yeah, but you know, but I'm the bad guy, you know. Anyway,
any more, t.

Speaker 4 (41:19):
No, that that pretty much wraps it up.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
You have anything, Yeah, we saw just announced I think
yesterday TGL announced there's going to be.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
A new team in to the mix.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Did you see that.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
Detroit was Detroit?

Speaker 4 (41:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (41:32):
I thought it was kind of a curious location, tro C.

Speaker 4 (41:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Yeah, So it made me think, like, who would represent
Detroit because there there's nobody really from Michigan that's really
on the tour that is anybody like it. You have
to go back to Walter Hagen of course, the great
Walter Hagen Horton Smith, who won the first Masters was
from Detroit area in Michigan and Calvin Pete, who I

(41:59):
think won twelve times on the PGA Tour, terrific African
American player, hailed from Michigan. Those are the only three
names I could come up.

Speaker 4 (42:07):
With, nobody.

Speaker 5 (42:09):
The only thing I can think of is like that
tournament up there is Ricky Fowl the Rocket Mortgage, So
that's like the.

Speaker 4 (42:17):
Only thing that I could like pool in. And I'm
wearing orange, so I must be right. No, I'm with you.
I can't think of anybody that would be on.

Speaker 5 (42:26):
That team, but not everybody like is fully like associated
with that, So I mean, but it has a weird
city choice for sure, because you could have done like Texas.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
You could you know what I mean, g GL Dallas, like.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Yeah, yeah, So we had that and uh, well we
had Bryson saying that he's developing a new golf ball.
Did you catch that? And he's still working on He's
still working on his irons too, which were he kind
of hit poorly, uh throughout the pg H Championships. So
he's working on that. And then he's working with the
manufacturer to eliminate what the side spin with the golf ball, which.

Speaker 5 (43:08):
Is interesting because I remember I mean, I don't even
know how many years ago this was. This is got
to be like what like ten years ago, the whole
like soaking the balls and Epsen salt in the bathtubs
and seeing which.

Speaker 4 (43:18):
Ones are good.

Speaker 5 (43:19):
I mean, this guy is just he won't stop with
just dialing and the tinkering and then dialing in the
equipment and seeing like you know, imagine, you know, soaking
your balls in the bathtub with absence.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
Salt to see what you want.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
I have soaked my balls in the bathtub and not
my golf balls.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
Sorry, stop stop over paying for premium golf.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
Exactly buy my balls with a z dot com. But
then I looked at the Ryder cup standings after the PGA,
and you got the six uh that guys that are
locked in at this point, which of course is Scottie Scheffler,
Xander Chawfle, Bryson de Shambeau, Justin, Thomas Colin, Morrikawa and

(44:02):
Russell Henley are the first six, and then you'd get
the next six, which may or may not get picked.
Some of them will as captain's picks. And listen to
this group of names. Harris English, who has a win
this year and he had a good performance in the PGA,
especially on Sunday Maverick McNeely Novak who we like on

(44:24):
this harmon JJ Spawn and Patrick Cantley. Now, no disrespect,
but I can't imagine a Ryder Cup team that includes
JJ Spawn. I just can't. I can't seem to get
my arms around it at this point. But there's no
Wyndham Clark, no Max Homer, no Jordan Spieth, no Tony Finow.

(44:46):
These are guys that have been on past Ryder Cups,
some of them many a couple of Ryder Cups, and
right now Keegan Bradley is out of that mix unless
he decides to put himself into the mix. So it's
pretty interesting to how this is going to shape out
for the next couple of weeks, you know, until we
get to August. You know, which way, are any of
those guys that I mentioned at the end that aren't

(45:08):
a part of it going to step up and you know,
sort of grab hole and make it an easy captain's
pick for Keegan Bradley.

Speaker 5 (45:15):
Yeah, I mean definitely the next couple of weeks are
going to be you know, crucial and seeing like how
somebody performs. But yeah, I'd like to see how somebody
steps up. I mean, so we'll share those five names
with us that are constantly up there. I like, that's
the thing unless you really do know golf and are
into it and watching it each week. Like Ryan Gerard,

(45:35):
I mean, his play lately has been silly, been all
the time.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
He's always up there, top ten, fifteen. It's it's wild.

Speaker 5 (45:43):
Max Graserman two, what a year he's had, sneakly just
you know, popped up there. I think he finished like
T two or something the one week and then from
there he's just still trending week by week and he's
just what, you know, four or five of those guys
he named, they.

Speaker 4 (45:56):
Are just flying under the radar.

Speaker 5 (45:57):
That'd be cool for somebody like that, But it's like,
I don't know, I feel like sometimes Captain's picks are
almost like the names, you know, like, oh, let's pick
a JT. Or you know, let's pick somebody just to
you know, to be part of the you know, the
boys club, and somebody who's done it already. But it
would be cool to see one of those newer kind
of rising guys that are flying under the radarb beyond there.

Speaker 4 (46:20):
If you could pick if you were the captain Harroon,
you could pick one guy who would you add to it?

Speaker 1 (46:25):
One of those not out of in the first six,
I would put you know, I'd put Harmon in there. Yeah,
because he's such a competitor and he has a win
this year. You know, he is playing really well. He's
one of the guys I kind of like this week too.
You know, he's won a major and he just he's

(46:46):
just a gutty competitor. Man. You know, I know the
waggles drive me nuts too. My drives moose nuts. But
the guy is really good when it comes to one
on one, he's just he's sort of like one of
those it's pardon the pun, because he went to Georgia.
He's like a bold. He's like when Kevin Kisner was
playing well back in the day. Kisner was a great
match play player. Didn't hit it very far, didn't do

(47:08):
this or that very well, but man, when it came
to Mano Wamano, he was so tough to beat. I
kind of look at Harmon the same way, and.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
That's what it is.

Speaker 5 (47:15):
You literally you need somebody in match play that has
you know, ice in their veins and when it comes
down to us, it's like, yeah, that's you know, play hard,
you know, because it's it's a different format than the
week to week off. And there's some guys even in
that five that we named that I would be like
maybe not because I've seen it when it comes down
on the stretch that they can't close.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
Right, right, all right. The PGA Tour Champions had their
first major of the year last week in Alabama, the
region's tradition, and ang Hell Cabrera took home the crown.
He won his second Champions Tour title in twenty nine starts.
It's his second one this year as well, twenty under
part to take his first major on the PGA Tour champions.

(47:58):
It ended in a Monday finish and played the final
three holes on Monday. He made birdies on sixteen and
eighteen to edge out Jerry Kelly by one shot. And
of course, the PGA Tour and the US Open are
going to Oakmont this year, and that's where Anghel won
his US Open back in two thousand and seven and
then later went on to win the Masters in two

(48:20):
thousand and nine for his two majors on the regular tour.
So you know, guys spent time in a jail cell
and then goes on to win a major. Scottifler spent
a very brief time and went on to win another major.

Speaker 4 (48:37):
Harry, Oh my godnesss.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
Hey, he had the orange suit on. That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (48:43):
The god trying to force that whole agenda, and everyone's like, no,
you made all their players were orange this week, and
it's the jumpsuit and Scotti so show up. It's like,
all right, let's beak something to death exactly.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
Hey, let's keep saying something about Scotty in jail.

Speaker 3 (49:01):
That's fine, all right.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
We got to take a look at this week's event,
which is the Colonial. It's sort of like a deep
breath an exhale on the tour because we had the
truest of course, with the elevated event. We were very
involved locally here with that event at Cricket Club. And
then you get a major championship, and now it's like
the week in between a major and then another elevated

(49:23):
event when they go to Memorial next week, and then
the US accident and then the US Open is two
weeks after that, so busy time in the world of golf.
The course of course brought to you by the Penn
Club on second Colonial Country Club, an old classic layout
parse seventy eighty nine yards, designed back in nineteen thirty

(49:46):
six by the great Perry Maxwell. Since then in twenty
twenty three they did a renovation by Gil Hans and
Jim Wagner, and the greens are bent grass, pretty small
in size, averaging about five thousand square feet, which is
small for the PGA tour. I would kill for that
average sized green though, by the way, for my everyday golf,
they're going to be stimping at anywhere between twelve and thirteen,

(50:10):
so very fast greens. The collars, approaches and fairways and
rough are all bermuda grass. The rough's going to be
about two and a half inches. There's sixty four sand bunkers,
four water hazards, and it's in play that water on
six holes of water sources of course the Trinity River
which runs along the fifth fairway, and the average fairway

(50:32):
with is twenty five to thirty yards, so pretty tight place,
smallest greens. Great iron players are at a premium here.
There's only two par fives, so it's hard to go
really low on this golf course. One and eleven of
the par fives, the eleventh measures six hundred and forty yards,
and there's four par threes at four, eight, thirteen, and

(50:53):
sixteen three, all approaching two hundred yards, and then the
number four gets up to about two hundred and forty
eight two hundred fifty yards, so that's a big par
three and that's part of the Horrible Horseshoe. It's not
the Green mile this week. It's the Horrible Horseshoe, which
is three, four and five, which horseshoes around the driving range.
The number three is par four four hundred and seventy

(51:15):
five yard dog leg left with bunkers guarding the inside
of the dog leg. There's oak trees, small green with
bunkers short right front corner of the green. Number four
is a long par three we talked about two hundred
and forty eight yards straight away, no bunkers on the
hole at all, so that tells you how difficult the
green can play. The green complex itself, and number five
another bunkerless hole. Par four four hundred and seventy six yards,

(51:39):
a slight dog leg right, no bunkers in the fairway
or around the green, which is a square green and
there's oak trees left and oak trees right, So that's
the big, hard, really difficult portion of the golf course.
And actually the field is pretty good. I mean, I know,
we got Scotty and Jordan Spieth at the top of

(51:59):
the with a big gap in between them when it
comes to betting, but the field is pretty thick. And
I just like watching this golf course because guy's executing
really good iron shots. And that's brought to you by
the Penn Club on second and taking a look at

I actually won a fantasy contest last week with the PGA.

(53:49):
I cleaned up on skins in a Sunday match at
my club, the nineteen twelve Club, so I'm flush with
cash heading to my golf trip. So it's it's funny
how timing works, you know, like.

Speaker 4 (54:02):
You're gonna end up getting a home one and having
to pay for.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
Everybody that would be that would be appropriate, and I
would be happy to do it. But yeah, like I've
been an ATM machine basically the first April, you know,
the month of April and May thus far at my club.
And this past weekend I cleaned up and then won
the fantasy, so it's just in time to go spend
it again on the golf trip. But looking at it,
getting hot, yeah, getting hot, and the so's the weather.

(54:26):
It's gonna be ninety ninety one degrees when I go
to Florida this week looking for.

Speaker 4 (54:30):
You, Harry.

Speaker 5 (54:31):
It is wildly hot, like summer hit way too soon.
I went out on like Saturday, just the farmers market,
and I lasted like four minutes.

Speaker 4 (54:41):
I'm like, I cannot deal with that.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
The way you're complaining about the heat.

Speaker 4 (54:47):
You don't even want to wear clothes. It's terrible. It's
so hot. I know I'll take it, but you know,
i'll take the heat over the cold hair.

Speaker 6 (54:54):
I know.

Speaker 4 (54:54):
There's just no making me happy. Well, you know, you
know what I like is like.

Speaker 5 (54:59):
Seventy six degrees, bluebird skies and maybe a little breath
of wind.

Speaker 1 (55:05):
Yeah, perfect, that's perfect. That sounds like San Diego actually,
is what that sounds.

Speaker 5 (55:09):
Yeah, but that weather's two bipolar for me because all
of a sudden one morning you wake up and it's
forty three in the morning and you're like, what is
going on?

Speaker 1 (55:17):
But look at this field. Aaron Rye. We talked to
Jason Soble. He mentioned Aaron Rye as a guy that
he really likes. Top twenty will only pay plus one twenty,
but I took it. And Rio Hasatsina is a guy
who I've got in a top twenty at plus three hundred.

(55:38):
He's like, I don't know, eleven hundred to one or
one hundred to one or something to win the thing
and really terrific ironplay. I would not doubt to see
him somewhere in the mix on Sunday. Lucas Glover is
another guy who's eleventh right now in the Aon Challenge,
so he's one outside the top ten in that Aon Challenge,
which gets you into the Yellow Events. I think in

(56:02):
fairly motivated this week will Lucas, and you know he's
a great iron player. He might be a good pick
this week.

Speaker 4 (56:09):
That's a great thought.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
Yeah. Aaron Rye, by the way, is number forty seven,
so he's just inside the top fifty. Trying to get
inside the top thirty to get to east Lake, and
Hassatsine is number seventy in the FedEx Cup, so that's
just right on the line. He's got to get up
into the top fifty. So a couple of guys that
really could benefit from a big week. I like Brian

(56:30):
Harmon minus one twenty five over Novak Jordan Spief. I'm
still debating on what to do with him, whether it's
one and done or just a matchup Davis Thompson. I
like this is Davis on Davis Crime, Davis Thompson minus
one fifteen over Davis Riley, the defending champ in a matchup.
I'm taking that. So hopefully Glover can show up this week.

Speaker 5 (56:53):
Yeah, I like that thought, especially being eleven, you know,
he definitely needs He's going to be working, trying to
focus to get something to move into that.

Speaker 4 (57:01):
Where does you have to finish, you know, to get
into that.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
I don't know, but one thing's for sure is he's
got to get that putter work. And that's the one
thing that you know if if he puts well, if
he puts better than average, he's gonna place well because
he does everything else terrific. He finds fair ways and
he gets great iron shots. It's just all about the putter.

Speaker 5 (57:19):
We saw him on the green at cricket, remember we
said there with watching him and Jason working on his putting.

Speaker 4 (57:25):
So yeah, hopefully they've got some work done. And I
like that pic this week, all right.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
The Inside Golf episode aired on Sunday. It's out all week,
you know, playing in replays. I have not seen it yet.
It's sort of like getting a tape of me doing
a radio show. I never used to go back and
listen to him, so it's kind of this. I don't
know if I want to watch it.

Speaker 6 (57:49):
I do.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
Well then watching GI yeah, well, I'll give you feedback
and then, uh, we got a golf trip tomorrow. We'll
hear about Moose's trip and my trip next week on
the episode, and we'll be getting ready for another elevated
event in the memorial. So good luck to everybody who
plays on the course this week and also off the

(58:13):
course in fantasy betting, whatever you're doing, and we'll talk
to you next week. Thank you. Goodbye, everybody to listen,
swing it and ding it
