The Smylie Show
Masters Tournament Preview from TBonz Steakhouse in Augusta
[MUSIC] >> That smiley coffin for 61. Wow, I'm smiley coffin and this is the smiley show. [MUSIC] >> This is the smiley show we are live from T-bones in Augusta, Georgia. I mean, it doesn't get any better than this smiley T-bones. The master's week, 2024 master's here. >> I mean, I think the place we should start here really is. This is where we met in person to the first time one year ago. And you were right, right over there, hula-hooping at 11 PM on a Tuesday. I wouldn't have any other way. You look from hula-hooping to taping alive. >> I think I want some cash on how long could I actually hula hoop. >> You did. >> I hit the over, which was huge. >> I had the under, but I was surprised. >> For real, though, this is, last year was my first time coming to T-bones. And man, just had such a good time. We had such a good crew here last year. They gave us the aux cord, which is a terrible mistake. >> Awful. >> But it kept us here. >> Yeah, it kept us here late. >> Played it entirely too much day with Swift. But yeah, this is what dreams are made of. To Augusta Week, walk the course today. I'm just so ready to get the week started. >> Really and truly. I think the place we have to start here because we are T-bones is we got to mention the late owner of T-bones, Mark Cummins. Actually, just back here inside, they made a really nice toast to him. He hosted Patrons here at T-bones for 35 years and passed last year from cancer. You met Mark here. >> I did, I did, yeah. I had a chance to meet him last year. And really getting to meet his family as well today. I met him last year as well, but just to kind of hear the stories that they told. Really cool just to be a part of, you know, really just, they welcomed us. They were like, yes, please. Should we make this an annual thing? They were like, please, please, we're like, and we're like, really? >> Where do we sign for that? >> Yeah, we're definitely in because this place is, when you think of Augusta National, I mean, it's like, hey, where are you going tonight? >> We're going to T-bones. >> It's the club, and it's T-bones. And so with that, Mark, this one's for you, buddy. >> Yeah, cheers. >> And yeah, cheers. Here we go. Thank you. It's got to take a sip, of course. It's got to, yeah, what do you call that? Commence the cheers? >> Yes. >> Things of that nature. Okay. Let's do it. And this really, the other place we started, this is our first show with Sports Grid. Super excited. We got the hat here. A little Sports Grid action. We're doing a little live Masters preview. And so let's just get right into the Masters. I think the place to start is we got a lot of storylines, a lot of breakdown, a lot of players we want to discuss, but let's hear it from a player's perspective. You played in the 2016 Masters. You were here. You were the final group with Jordan Speed on a Sunday, added Augusta National, coming down the stretch there. >> Get me all excited. >> Yeah. I mean, as you should, we made it two on 12. >> Yeah. >> Maybe people forget. >> People didn't get to watch it because I was already cut from coverage. >> [LAUGH] >> We don't have to mention that piece. >> No. I'll take you through the day. >> Please do. >> Sunday. >> It's for the week. Let's start. Just give us like a, sketch out a week at Augusta National from the Masters for a tour problem. >> Well, first off, I was ready when I got here. Like first off, I mean, all the homework was done. I felt like I was a veteran when I got here. I know that's like kind of cocky to say, but I felt like when Tiger Woods today was talking about just knowing where to miss it, I felt really comfortable with that. And I think I had my team just had a lot of players that have been here before and had success. So I just relied on that data. So when I got here, I felt really comfortable because I had come here and done the prep. I knew exactly where to miss it. But getting here during the week, still, I think one of the weirdest things is just the locker room. And you're like, wait, I'm like paying right now at Augusta National. >> You're right? >> Like, wait, no, I'm eating a sandwich in the locker room at Augusta National. So those are all real things that you feel is a rookie. I'm driving down the lane at Magnolia Lane at Augusta National. These are all totally things that I've just had a wild, just in the fact that I was playing in the Masters. I dreamt of it for so long. >> And that team, I think we talked about this, you know, James Seachman was on that team. >> Yeah. >> He said a lot of great tips for you. We're getting some Augusta flavor. We're getting a little horn honks on the way by. >> It's not the soundboard either. >> I wish we could. Maybe I'll just off to take a picture on my phone so you guys can get it. This is great. The car backing out in front of us, I mean, really, we got to insert some behind the scenes action here too. This is amazing. Like, I think a car might back into our camera in our light here. >> If we get run over during the show, that would be great content. Probably the best we've ever produced. >> Yeah, it'd be better than whatever we have, like, for a night. >> Well, let me finish this story before we get off track. >> We are, I think we're maybe five minutes in, we're already off the rails, so that's good. Yes, no, please continue. >> So, I'll say that Thursday and Friday, the Masters is really the easiest cut to make of any of the majors. >> Small fields. >> I even showed up with that attitude, I was like, this is like, there's like less amount of dudes, the cuts, like, not as bad. And I showed up thinking, like, I'm going to make the cut of me here on the weekend. And that happened, it was a windy year, but Sunday comes around and you had never had a 3.30 tee time and wake up at 6.30 in the morning and figure out what to do all day. >> So, hold on a second, let me, can I stop you there? Because I watched the interview you did with Bill and the chair. >> Do you have a script? Did you watch Tin Cup? >> I watched Tin Cup, it was on, there was a rerun of that going on. And of all the things you could watch before the final roof of the Masters on a Sunday, Tin Cup is not one of them. >> So, I got to the 11th hole where I had four, I had four three putts on the front nine. And the biggest problem that I had that day was just, I couldn't get any momentum going, nothing's going in the hole. And the famous line in Tin Cup, you're like, should you switch the change from one pocket to the other? And I did that on the 11th hole. Like, I've never had my- >> Has you made a birdie on 12? >> And then I made a birdie on 12, so- >> Selt it to it. >> I switched the Mojo, unfortunately it was a reverse Mojo for Jordan, because he was going to win and then it didn't happen. Can you just share that story, geeks? It's happened a number of times on the podcast, hello, see we got some locals here dropping in. >> Hey. >> [INAUDIBLE] >> Let's get it, go have a one. >> All right, you heard the gentleman off camera there, there are a lot of entertainment options here in Augusta, Georgia. >> Hell yeah. >> Full play. >> [LAUGH] >> Can you do the buzzer? >> Yes, yes, yes, yeah, we have sound effects now. Oh wait, hold on, I don't have to think they're enough, hold on, okay, let's try it again. [MUSIC] >> There we go. >> I mean, next time we're going to get a guy come in and give us, was that a **** thing? >> I think that was a **** thing. >> We're going to cut that. >> We're bugging to cut that, or we can just bleep it. We could also bleep us saying **** too, this is a real problem, I have to edit this show for seven a.m. Turn around, I might just not sleep tonight. We talked about that possibility too, I might just not sleep. >> No. >> And just go straight to Augusta National on no sleep. Here's where I was starting before that kind gentleman came in to plug his various locales in and around Augusta, Georgia was, the story's been told on the podcast a number of times. Justin has told his story, Jordan has told his story, but please tell the story of moving from 12, the score Jordan made the score you made and go into that 13th tee. >> Well, when walking off the ninth hole, I was so mad because I felt like I was hitting it better than Jordan that day, and he was just beating, just beating me down. And I got to the 10th hole, the 10th tee, and he makes bogey on 10, he makes bogey on 11, and I'm thinking, okay, he's fine, you know, he's fine. He gets the 12 and the hits it in the water. I'm like, okay, he's kind of fine, but he definitely doesn't need to do anything like crazy here as well. And I saw him take this insanely wild drop that I'll never understand why he dropped so far back. Because I'm up at the green, I just hit this beautiful high cut nine iron, 10 feet left of it. And he drops like 80 yards away and I'm like, what is he doing? Because the greens were firm. >> Right. >> And he's gotten up and down from everywhere the entire day. And if he drops it right next to, like, Ray's Creek right there and just chips it on and makes it five, like, that was like, to me, like, the big mistake was like where he dropped. >> Do you ever talk to him about that, asked him why he did that? >> Well, no, you can take phone calls on the sport too. That's the left. >> No, dial a friend right now and see what Jordan speed is doing. >> Oh gosh. So 10.46 p.m. >> The rest of the round goes on. I mean, I actually played fine that it was the best 81 of every shot. I mean, I didn't play bad and just putted, just getting it in the hole, but just like to put tie a knot on Joe on Jordan that day, we get into, we get into the scoring 10. And that was where, because, like, we shook hands, we kind of looked at each other and we're like, we're good, and then we get into the scoring 10. And that's the moment where I'm like, holy crap, this guy, like, got to put the jacket on Danny Willett. And that's when he realized it too. And it was just, it was, it was tough to watch for someone just kind of, it slipped through their fingers. So I think for me being a part of an experience like that, like just feeling like I was a fly-on-the-wall almost, because because I was cut from the coverage by number nine. So like the whole back nine, I was just kind of cruising. I was just a supporting actor, if you will, but man, if you're going to do Augusta National and just play the Masters one time, you might as well play in the final group. You might as well be a part of history in a supporting actor role. And you might as well make a hole in one of the part three contests. So I think a lot of people would take that week in a heartbeat. I think that, you know, we've had a lot of forgettable 77-77s and back your bags and head on your way. So I would take a whole lot of the part three making the final group and yeah, part of Masters history in a way. Yeah. It doesn't, you know. And so I think with that, you know, we, you and I've talked kind of about how we want to talk about this Masters. You sent over some really cool research and there's a tweet in specific that I think is going to help frame this entire discussion for us in terms of, you know, what, what are the trends? Right? I'm scared to death to get the later in the show and we have to make our one and done pictures. We're hot. Why do we have a lot of pressure on us there? We are hot. The only thing I'm worried about with T-bones is that we like this place on fire from being too hot from picking winners. We're in a real heater scenario at this point in time. It's like, it's similar, like when you're playing good golf and you're like, I'll never make another bogey again or it's like when you're losing and you, and you cannot pick a winner to save your life and you're like, I'll never play a good round of golf again. I'll never make another eagle or a chip in. Yeah. Right now we're, we, we don't even know where the rough is. We don't even know where, I feel like whoever we pick is going to win. Like I feel like we have the power to choose the winner of this tournament. I know. I'm surprised more guys haven't reached out and they might and they probably will. I'll tell you also feels like for me, if I'm being totally honest, is like, if you're playing craps and you're at the table and you've got a hot hand and you're like, like straight, like no one's, it's just you and your buddy and you're like, oh, we're making a bunch of money. You're racking in and then people kind of notice you're on a roll and like more people show up at the table, more people and they're like people watching you're like, oh, like now my hands are sweating a little bit. No, that's been you embrace. I'm getting a little bit. I'm getting the heart pounding a little bit and it's like people are texting you, hey, who's your pick? Who's your pick? I don't know if I love that pressure. So let's just hope we pick a winner this week so we can just, it's going to happen. Yeah, it's going to happen. It's going to happen. Unfortunately, you've already burned Scotty. I've already been spent. Because you haven't. So we're not. We're good either way. Maybe that'll be my pick. Maybe I save him. I don't know. I, I, something tells me you're not going to save him. I've already got his name in the Google Doc, so I think it's finding. So, so the tweet I referenced earlier, so this is from Ron Close. He's at PGA Splits 101 and a great follow, by the way, just for any basic information on the week ahead, his, his data set of how he determines who's played well in the past there is a really cool tool that I've used a couple of weeks, so shout out to Ron. Yeah, and, and it's a, it's a great, he gives you like 20 trends of master's winners, you know, where it's like a consistent theme of like, you know, more than, you know, 75 to 95% of, you know, master's winners fit into this trend. So there are 20 of them on this list. We're going to talk about five of them tonight and, and then kind of give you some of his takeaways and decide whether or not we like, you know, whether we were buying this trend or maybe selling this trend. So we're going to start with 44 of the last 44 winners of the master's tournament have played in at least one previous edition of the master's. I wish I could have broken that trend. That would have been really sick, it would have been really, really sick. Yeah. Wait, say that seven, 44 of the last 44 winners like, is this the rookie thing? Well, yeah, this is the master's rookie thing. And so here's some names that want to throw us down one and you got to take us up with Ron close. Huh? You got to take us up with Ron close. Not me. What is that? I will have to get you. You are our research department. Yeah. Hold on. I'll check it out. Well, let's, let's you pull up the fuzzy zeller wiki. Okay. Let's get us some stats on that. They're, they're, they're really two names I want to talk about, but I don't want to throw two. 1979. Yes. That's, that's, I'm not a math guy, but that's far more than 44 years ago. Right? 2024 or 24. Yeah. I'm like, oh, that was the last one. Okay. Oh my God. I'm like, hold on. Fuzzy zellers. Like we got there. We got there. Okay. Great research by us. So, so here's, here's how I want to discuss in this sort of category. Yeah, Lou Vigoberg, who's a 30 to one odds to win. He's kind of near the top of the board, Wyndham Clark at 45 to one. And then as we get a little further down, I want to throw in Oxhae, Batilla, and Denny McCarthy at a hundred to one. Those two guys had a hot, hot week last week and kind of, you know, when Denny was already in. Oxha gets in by virtue of the win, but so let's start with Ludwig and a lot of people are picking him this week. They really like him. I like Ludwig. You do. Yeah. I do a lot. I really like the experience of playing in a Ryder Cup. Like it's, he's, he's coming in with an unusual amount of experience to the Masters that most Masters rookies do not have. I think you've got to start at Augusta National first, like, and this is like where we start to buy or sell these trends. And obviously 44 out of the last 44 is a, you know, that's a pretty, that's a trend. That's a trend. Yeah. But have we had a Ludwig, a bird and a Wyndham Clark showing up to Augusta National? I say no and both of these guys, when you look at their games, can they hit it really far? Yep. Yep. Okay. That's a box checked. Yeah. And the other one, can they, can they hit all the shots with their irons? Can they hit it up in the air? Yes. To both. So that's the starting point that you needed Augusta National is to be able to ball-strank it. When you, when you look at like the past winners here at the Masters, I would say that if you find somebody that's an outlier to the ball-striking statistics, it would probably be Patrick Reed, someone that just chipped and putted their way to a victory. So I would start with guys that can really hit it far and, and hit it up in the air. And those two guys, I mean, she will now, a tourist would be another name that would be, I know he's not a rookie anymore, but he fit that same mold and he almost won the golf tournament the last couple of years. Yeah. And he, and he's in good form now. He's the guy that a lot of people love as well for, for, for Wyndham, you know, we often refer to this is from a right hander's perspective as a drawers golf course, right? And Wyndham is famous for that kind of big power fade. I mean, that's a question. We're in the 18th hole at L.A.C.C. in the U.S. Open where we blew that thing right. Big experiment in the world. But I mean, do you, does that give you pause at all? I mean, you think he has enough shots in his bag to where he can kind of work around that. That's so far with his three wood that I don't think it's going to be a big bungaboo. I just think about the new tee box that they planted on, on two that they, they moved it back in a little bit to the left. There's probably only a couple of guys that can actually carry that bunker with the driver. Wyndham may be one of them if he absolutely hammers one, but I, I think 13 as well helps him a ton that, that tee box is 30 yards back because now he can just absolutely send a driver and just cut it over the left side. Um, I do think there's just like three or four shots that if he's able to execute them, the rest of the golf course is fine. It's just, it's just three or four shots that you got to be able to kind of turn over. But I guarantee he's been thinking about that shot for a while, knowing that he's a fader of the golf ball. And then on Akshay, I mean, he, he just found out he gets in like actually this week. You know, there's something about it where, you know, I that's just as long as his shoulders is fine. It sounds like I actually had, look at, let me, let me show you all the, all the physical research. This is another thing I love about Augusta National and the Masters is like, they print out copies of every single press conference that happens. So I just collected these things like I was like doing a book or four or something. Welcome to the TV. And look, look at it. This is live, this is live research happening. I'm, I'm going to thumb through, because we have actually on the shoulder here. Yeah. This is where we're. Oh, here we go. Akshay, but Tia press conference. All right. Here. Yeah. What did he say about that? I know. I want to find it. I mean, this is, this is really good radio right here. It's it may be even better TV. It's still fascinating. Here we go. Here we go. So, okay. So here's, here's the quote from Akshay's press, press conferences. He's asked, can you talk about your shoulder? How does it feel? And is this an entry pattern? Did it just happen? His answer. Yeah, the shoulder is, you know, it's going to be a work of progress for sure. That happened two, three times. I had a full disk, uh, type of this location, like he had a dislocation playing pickleball a couple of years ago, so pickleball nation stand up. I mean, it is tough for golfers right now. The fist pump in the pickleball thing, but listen, all right. Before we close the shop on the shoulder, okay, I'm buying on akshay this week. I love that. I mean, do you think in a way, you know, if a guy gets in and he hasn't spent any time thinking about it, it's kind of a blank slate. You just kind of go out and do what you've done. Is there less? There's less there of a mental sort of he can hit all the shots out here. I'm telling you, he can, he can hit all of the shots out of here. He drives it straight enough. He hits it up in there. I'll say that the irons need to probably be a little bit more up in the air, but when I think about golf courses that are long, they require guys to hit middle irons. Akshay comes to mind along with Cameron Young. Yeah. Scottie Sheffler, Rory McRoy, Akshay is on that list of five dudes that I'm like, give me this guy with a foreign, and I know he's going to hit it where he's looking. That sounds like a guy that I want to sprinkle a little, you know, Kishan. That was, uh, I was looking, looking for a way to do that. Why not? Yeah, why not? Yeah. So, okay. So, so that's Akshay. And then let's move to our next trend, which is 18 of the last 18 winners were not the Betty favorite for the week. And so that one is wild to me. It's a very interesting one. Wild to me. So that goes all the way back to 2000s. Yeah. So Tiger Woods, I'm trying to think of the years he won the Masters. What? I think that might have been, I mean, because if you think about Tigers, you'd have been the favorite all the way all the way through 2000. No, gosh, I don't know what I feel like I feel like the Augusta Masters history buffs right now are just shaking. They're like screaming. What do you mean? You don't know. 2000. 2000. Yeah. I know. I mean, that's why you use the bed. All right. So he's the betting favorite for 10 plus years after that, let's say, and but but this so this year is like in terms of statistics last year is the closest we've seen to a Tiger level performer. I mean, Scotty's Jeff was ball striking numbers last year. We're at a title. And rightfully so, man. Like rightfully so. He should be he should be this much of a favorite. I'll say that he's he's four and a half to one and Roy's 11 to one. Let's say. I would say that maybe if John Ron would have stayed on the PGA tour and had if he had one maybe Riviera or something like that, that would have been a maybe an indicator of of good play and a defender. A guy that can go win there again. So I think that's reflected a little bit in the odds there that Ron, I think would have been the second. I know he's played well over it with so far, he's top 10 every week, hasn't won. But the eyeball factors of let's say he was still on the PGA tour and won twice already. I think the odds would be a little, little, little tighter there. Yeah. I mean, and maybe some of those tournaments Scottie wins. Yeah. But the trend, but the, to your point, Scottie would still be the favorite and 100%. And by the way, like we were going to get into it later on, but like, I think Scottie wins like if people were asking for a pick this week, it's boring, but I think Scottie Shepherd wins his golf tournament. It's, it's like, you know, it's like, Oh, I'm going to watch the US Open final. But and you're looking for excitement, but you already, it's, it's like sitting there watching a movie that you really like with a friend that you just recently watched and you're just like looking over there like every, every, oh, is he going to like this part. That's what it's like watching Novik Jack Novak Djokovic in a tennis match because you know he's going to win. You're like, Oh, is he going to like this reaction? That's what it's like right now, a little bit with Scottie Shuffer. You're just like, I know what's going to happen. It's so predictable. I've said this for a while now that he plays the same route of golf for two years now. Yeah. It just keeps going. And I think it's, you know, and he misses a playoff in Houston by a shot. Otherwise he goes to play up with Steven Yeager and maybe wins his third row and he's looking to go. I'm going to say, you think the kind of helps that he didn't win that he's yeah, the fact like I'm just looking at it's almost like the you don't want to get too hot. That's right. That's right. It's like, you know, you don't want to have a good range session where you don't play. I'm just thinking like from a superstitious standpoint, I would be overthinking like, man, I've won way too many times heading into Augusta. You know, what's what's going to happen? Am I going to like trip over my foot? Am I going to? Yeah. Well, the interesting thing I think there is that it's it's the last image we have in our head was actually he had two really good putting days in Houston. He had two days that were kind of like, okay, we're very, very, very disgusted. You know, but I guess the point being that what was kind of loose coming down the stretch was his ball striking a little bit and I'm not saying I'm not like putting us on alert for Scotty Shepard ball striking. I'm more saying that's the last image we have in our heads of him like, you know, do we think he's found a groove in those two weeks is going to be back to his usual self? I don't know. I mean, I still I still think he was a tournament going away. It's just interesting. That's the last visual we had of Scotty on the golf course. You know what's tough scene right now is I can't stop thinking about Scotty Shepard's footwork that I'm my next range session, which has been a couple weeks now. I'm going to be trying his footwork and thinking this is how I still need to fix and I'm going to start hitting a dead straight every time and I'm turning pro. He's going back, ladies and gentlemen, he's going to revive Scotty footwork and you're going to see a smiley coffee making a start again and a tour event. It could be the classic. It could be the difference. It could make the difference. Okay. Let's go to our next trend here. 25 of 26 of the last 26 winners made the cut at the Masters the year before they won. So that rules out Rory McElroy at 11 to one. What are your thoughts on Rory this year? Dude, last year was such an outlier with Rory. Like nothing made sense. I mean, you could throw he was in the good way, dude. He wasn't in the bad way. I know, right? It was it was such an outlier year because I watched him from the beginning of the year leading up to the Masters and to me, I saw really good form. I don't know. I think he looks back on that time thinking he wasn't informed and he's been playing more this year to making sure he knows what he has. But to me watching him last year coming in, I was like, dude, this is the year. And then I saw things I haven't seen the entire season to just it was such an outlier week to me that I just didn't put any any judgment on like what happened that week. It was just one of those crazy bad weeks that Rory McElroy never has. What do you make of his very intentional routine changes this year? Like he was just in the press room, I mean, you're watching this on a Wednesday, but on a Tuesday, 10 minutes in and out, it just showed up on property that day. Let me say this from the perspective of a neurotic overthinker. It's like sometimes, you know, and I'm not comparing my golf for a McElroy. I do this on a lot of things. I do golf as well. It's like, hey, that didn't work last time. So I'm going to do everything different. And then I show up and I'm like, wait, none of that actually makes sense. Now I'm thinking too much about the fact that I'm doing something different than actually you're trying to play better golf or do whatever is I'm trying to do better. So I wonder like, are we overthinking too much with Rory here a little bit? Every minute that goes by, I'm loving Rory McElroy chances today. I am. You're going for it. You're taking the bait. I am. I am. I am so like they got the hook in. So we went on Rory winning this week now. And this is all happened in the last four days, you know, going from the happy hour to like seeing that he was in the gym all week. Happy hour mojo. I mean, happy hour mojo. People are winning with that from the happy hour that's that's happening. And I saw two shots from him today at Augusta National, he birdied 17 and he birdied 18. And I'm like, that's all I need to see. Rory McElroy is going to win Augusta. He's going to win the Masters. It's the year. He's going to win the Grand Slam. So stay tuned. One and done picks are not out yet. I don't know where I'm going. Yeah. Stay tuned. Stay tuned for the one and done picks. We need more time. The last trend of the trends from Ron Close, so I want to touch on as it connects to a player is 11 of the last 14 winners finish 35th or higher in their last start before the Masters. The person I want to talk to you here is was 40 to one odds when the tournament, Victor Havelin, who finished T-62 at his last start out of the players. We're going to break. We're going to break this news that that Grant Wade is not I don't think we're breaking it. I think it was all over. It was all over. I mean, here, here, let me flip through my boat pole pile again here. Or if you haven't seen it, Victor Havelin doesn't have he's working with Dana Dahlquist now. Grant Wade is not behind him anymore watching him hit golf balls. Can I read you this quote because this and listen, Victor Havelin friend of the pod. I am a big Victor Havelin fan. This doesn't inspire time. We're Victor guys. He goes, the question is, it looked like you were working with Dana Dahlquist yesterday a little bit. Now, I want to go back to the end of last year and you were playing the best golf maybe of your career. It seemed like an interesting time to make a coaching switch. What went through that and kind of moderated right now, this is just the moderator. This is just, it could be a reporter. It could be the moderate. This is the like a gusson. No, no, no, no. This is, we're doing live, we're learning about how Prescott, the moderator tees it up and then the reporter asked the question, Oh, I thought you were reading that part. Okay. So then he says, yeah, I'm still kind of looking for some opinions out there. But I feel like I'm on a good track right now and we'll see where that takes us. But yeah, I mean, it's one of those things like I was playing great golf last year, but it's not like I'm trying to change my golf swing. It's just sometimes the game of golf, you try to do the same every day, but the thing aren't the same every day. When you go to the golf course, that's a huge break after last year when I came back. Things were a little bit different. I had to kind of find my way back to where I think I'm going to play my best golf. And even at the end of the last year, I still felt like, yeah, I was playing great, but I got a lot out of my game and I didn't necessarily feel sustainable. But it's not like I consciously went in and said, Hey, we're going to change everything up. I mean, dude, if I ever, if I ever win the tour championship and change coaches, why take a chair and break it over my head seriously, man. Oh my God, it's just, it's just strange. I think the one thing that's been going on. So let's talk about what Victor Hoblin has told us on the pod. Okay. He said, I've always been a guy that is kind of taking it back inside, on the way back. He's told us that so he's got early rotation, his hands get up. So he's a player that has that in his DNA and I talked to a grant weight and somewhere in Florida. He's like, Yep, we're going to be aiming straighter. So Victor was a guy every time I've watched him, he's aimed right. And now he's a guy that's going to be aiming straighter, taking it straight back. So but when you've ever watched Victor Hoblin set up to a golf shot, it's very unique because he sets up so far away from it, like his arms are so extended. Yes. Yes. There's so much room and then it's like that, that, but shall move it's unique to him. This is what happened. So like when your arms get so separated from you, it's set up. The only thing you can do is to keep them together, you're going to have to take the club back inside. Yeah. If you, if you take it back straighter outside, you immediately get disconnected. So he's going to feel like immediately in his backswing, like, okay, something's off. Yeah. But when, when he was swinging it really well, he would take it back inside his arms were connected. He would get it up to the top and then he would get into super flexion and then just absolutely cover the golf ball. But what they were, was that that was, and that was like, you just, you were talking about that aim right and that throw left shoulder movement, right? Yeah. Yeah. He would, he was a super level shoulder guy. And I think what's happening right now is his, his motor pattern and his D and his DNA is golf DNA that he has told us is now off. He doesn't know where to aim. So that is the one thing for me that was the biggest struggle is I had all the great information. I could hit it on the range and Victor Havelin right now could probably hit it right where he's looking on the range. But the problem is when you get out to a golf course, especially like Augusta National, it's a big, big picture. You can see every shot in the world, but the targets are really, really small. So you could see all sorts of shots and Victor Havelin used to be able to get on a tee or get on a, on a par three and he knew exactly where to aim. He knew exactly what shot to play and he knew exactly what club to pull right now. I wonder if he doesn't know exactly where to aim and he doesn't know what shot to play because he doesn't know what he has. And to me, that is a huge red flag. Maybe he goes out and plays good this week and shocks us all. But to me, the red flag is waving and I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole, which is very strange. Okay. All right. We have another. We have another person. Okay. Thank you. Okay. That's great to know. Thank you so much for that information. We have we have another, we have another pass just by. I don't know if I want to read this on the air because I have no idea what it is that I be reading. So I'm not, I'm not going to read on the air, but it's, I think I'm, I think I might have been from the similar categories, our last drop in. So we're going to, we're going to keep it moving. So here's, here's what we got for you. So as we mentioned, these, these are all, these are trends from Ron close. We, we went through five of them. You should go to @pga splits 101 on extra Twitter to, to go through the other 20 and kind of see what Ron's thinking as we kind of come out of that, there's one, there's one name that I want to talk about, only one player in the field fits 19 of the 20 trends that Ron's laid out. And that's Sandra shot playing for you. Oh my God, is it really dude? And I, is it time? I think, I think it might be time. Are you jumping in the deep end? I, I mean, I, this is what, this is where my head's on this. You spoke with Trevor and woman on the show a couple months ago and he said, it's time. I think it's time. I think it's time for standard. I'm trying to find a spot for him and I look at his past history here and I'm like, it might be X man time. Wow. This here. This might be the year the X. What do you, what do you, I, I, I would say that against the, the finish of the players was tough. Like, I know Scotty went out and won it, but that was just a tough scene. I felt like for Zander and it's one of the, it's like, I feel like he's a lock for a top 20, a top 10, probably even a top five. I don't know if he, if he has what it takes to get it over the line, but like if Scotty putts bad, like I'd say this way, if Scotty does not putt well this week, this is who I think is going to win the golf tournament. I like your play and the reason why I do, and you mentioned the players, but I go all the way back to Riviera and Riviera has been a, a really good indicator of, of Augusta National. Guys that have played well at Riviera have played well at the master. So you look at Adam Scott, like he was a guy that, that played well at Riviera every single year. Tiger Woods never won there, but also played well for the most part there. I think Zander does and will win the Masters one day if there, if there's one event where I'm like, yep, that, that fits Zander. And I think the, the category to me that Zander's improved on this year is from talking to multiple people is like, holy crap, Zander's hitting it so far. Yeah. When I've thought about Zander in his game, I've never thought about, oh, wow, he's, he's one of the longer players. And right now I'm hearing he's, he's hammering the golf ball. So 7,600 yards, you got to be able to long to compete. And if he has that distance to be able to keep up with guys, I trust Zander's Potter much more than I trust, trust Scottie's Potter. Well, there you have it. That's run through some of our trends, some of the big names that we'll probably discuss again as we move on to show and do one and done. I want to take a little bit of a turn here and, and this is a segment I told you, I wanted to kind of surprise you on a little bit here, right? So here's what we got for you is like, we get a lot of comments on YouTube, a lot of people telling us, hey, you guys are big PGA tour shows, you know, I mean, you guys are always up for the tour and when you're always kind of, you know, and I don't think that's true necessarily. I'm a clean guy. Well, so that's where I want to go and I want to call this segment. This is, this is wearing different hats. All right. We're going to put on some live hats now. As I was thinking about this, I was like, do we want to do that figuratively or do we want to do that literally? And so I brought you a little gift here. Okay. What do you have? I brought you a little prop here and, and here's, here's where we're going to go first if I get, if I get them a prop, I got a little something for you, buddy. I've got, I've got a little, I've got a little clique set, this is straight off the straight off the LiveGolf website, so you can't see we're not going to support it. So this is for you. Oh my God. So you can put your clique side on now. I'm not putting it on. I'll put it right here. That's fair. Yeah. You can just just make sure it's in the frame there. That's how big of a supporter. I don't want to be hat on. It's like you're, it's like you're picking which college you're going to now for, for me, as you know, I'm, I'm a long time wild cards guy. You are a wild cards guy. I can't wait to see with this. And, and you know that I've been trying hard to get one of those Anthony Kim wild card hats to no success. I went to the website three, maybe four times, couldn't find it. So that's what matters on my own hand, smiley. And I went on a really janky custom hat site. And I made myself, I made myself a wild card. It's kind of like the aces, but a joke is a card. And so, and then, and then come to find they sold these hats this weekend in Miami. So I couldn't have just waited like a week. Put it on, brother. Should I put it on? Yeah, absolutely. I'm aware of my live hat. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go ahead and put my live. So this, this is the segment. This is, uh, this is wearing different hats. So this is really just, this is awesome. Look at this cleeks hat. I mean, you don't know how much I don't care care about the queens. Big, big, cleeks guy. So now that we have our live hats on, let's talk, let's talk some live guys, okay? So we, we, we, we touched on Rahm a little bit, uh, in the, the sort of the trend section. So let's get right into like Brooks at 18 to one. I mean, this guy was right there last year, it goes on in the major, um, he, he even kind of spoke in his press conference today about, you know, there was some stuff he didn't want to share, but he felt like he didn't have the right mindset heading into the final round last year. And if he had to do it again, uh, he won't make that same mistake. Where are we at on Brooks this year? I am not buying Brooks this year and I do this every year with Brooks at a major. I'm like, nope, not buying it. I'm going to continue that trend. That's okay. We won't take you though. Okay. I'm, I'm not buying the, uh, I'm not buying Brooks this year to top 10 right now. That's where I stand and the reason why I just don't like the putter change the week before the masters and he's not informed based on what I've seen, but listen, I haven't watched live golf all year. So how am I though? I just look at the scores and to me, it just doesn't seem like a guy that's just going to come in here and, and dominate the masters, but he does this all the time. So I'm just going to continue to doubt him and he's going to continue to prove me wrong. So that's the stance I'm going to take. The next guy, this guy's in, in consideration for my one and done pick here. I keep, I can't stop coming back to this name. I, I keep, I'm, I'm looking at the odds board. I'm trying to kind of find the guys I like and his name is keeps popping up. I, I think it's the price is kind of fluctuated, you know, depending on what you're trying to do with this pick, you know, it's like it is this, you know, it's the right value for this guy. But walking Neiman 28 to one, man, do I like that name and, and, and this is another shout out to Dylan to share because I was like, Dylan, I saw him earlier. I was like, Dylan, I'm thinking about going with Joaquin. What do you think? And he said, I like that a lot because of that rib connection, you know, he's one at rib. Similarities. So I sit here and look at his pairing, he's playing with Nick Taylor and Russell Henry. Okay. It's like the most low-key chill pairing for a guy to like be up by four heading into the weekend. I look at Xander Schoffley, Rory and Scotty playing together as like, I almost want to avoid all three of them because it's so hard for all three to play really well. You see it all the time with, when you get these big marquee groups, most of the time they stink it up. So I'm a little cautious right now with those three dudes, even though I love all three of them. So man, Joaquin, I'm a big, big Joaquin fan. I wish you would have never left because he just felt like he was just getting started on the PJs. You know what I mean? Like winning at rib and just being on the cusp of being the next young international player. You know, we saw him at the president's cup be the next guy that maybe would be the one who challenges these US president's cup teams, but why came to me, man? I like the pick this week. He's played unreal over there at the live golf tour of 59 at my Acoba. I know is, is something that I could put into, into words because I've played there. There's not a 59 out there. I don't know where he found it. So, yeah. Yeah. I mean, that used to be a PJ to a course now live golf to a course. Wendy Aussie open and got all the tools man above the golf swing. It's to me somewhere like an Akshay in that I love the mechanics mechanics are there. Any putt good enough? That to me is the big thing. I don't know if he can putt good enough. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think it's one of those things where I like what you've laid out in terms of like the vibe of the group. I mean, I look at, I look at these pairings and I look at like Max Homa and a group with Tiger Woods and Jason Day and I kind of feel for the guy. Yeah, it's, you know, it's going to make the, it's going to be not a battle. Don't you feel like it, you got to find some of these pairings that like, okay, who's got the least amount of pressure and who's not watching their group? I don't think anybody's comfortably make a cut and then focus on the weekend. Nick Taylor, Joachim, Neiman Russell, Henley, like all three of those dudes are going to be the top 10 going the weekend. I love that call because I like all three of those players. Nick Taylor's played incredible this year. Good course fed. My opinion. Russell. Henley. You know how, how I feel about him this week. Yeah. I, I, and I think for good reason. I mean, we could go through a few of these other names, you know, DJ 40 to one, Bryson 40 to one, Cam Smith, 50 to one, Tyrell, 55 to one. I want to touch on. Let's touch on campus. That's one that I'm highly intrigued about. Cam, you know, I, I always keep trying to go for Cam. He's at this course. To me, he's the Patrick Reed model with a better iron game. He's, he's Patrick Reed, better irons. If he can just drive it good, that to me is, is the big indicator for him. If, if, if Cam Smith doesn't have the big misses, then he competes. It's like, it's kind of like Scotty. You know, like if he has a good putting week, he competes and has a chance to win. Cam Smith is the exact same way. One, I think. But opposite. Well, exactly. It's, it's one glaring weakness in just the course suit that glaring weakness. Right. Like if it's a big ballpark where there's not a lot of trouble off the tee, the length hasn't helped because they keep adding length. Yeah. And so you get more and more penalized for those misses off the tee. Guess what happens when you start hitting it more crooked with more length? The dispersion gets larger. So that to me is, yeah, it's you got to be able to keep it in front of you for the most part out here. Well, for Cam to me felt like for a while, similar to a xander mold where like he kind of gotten a rhythm where he was playing well every single year here and you're just thinking it's, it's just a matter of time and kind of culminating with that, that sort of dual with Scotty in 2022 where, you know, he made a lot of mistakes in the back nine kind of throws a tournament away and not the Scotty didn't go out and win it. But he's a guy where every year I look at him and I'm like, could this be the year? Now he showed up last year and said on his own admission, I really didn't take this off season as seriously as I should have, maybe a little complacent, do live money and he played, you know, not poorly, but you know, for his standards, it wasn't a master's finish that you know, was up on par with some of his more recent finishes where he did really well. But I just wonder if maybe this year a little more focus hasn't been playing great on live, but again, it's like we're not necessarily using that as a barometer for whether or not they're going to play good here. So that wasn't tricky to me. Yeah, I think so. And if anybody on that list, I think Bryson's interesting, I think he's going to have a nice year in the majors. I just, I think he played too well last year in the majors and he's played well on the live so far that I don't think you can rule out Bryson having a really good driving week and being able to turn par fives in a par four is like he's talked about doing out here but hasn't been able to execute it quite to what we think he can be capable of out here, which is Bryson could win this tournament by a couple of shots. You know what I mean? You see Bryson with the Eclipse glasses. Yeah. I mean. Just talk to your content. The guy's content machine. Machine. Whether you like it or not. I really enjoyed that. Okay. There's one last name on here, kind of intriguing, play well on live. I know we don't know how to ballpark that. Sergio at 110 to one. A lot of people kind of like Sergio this week. I like Sergio a lot this week. Seeing him play well the week before the Masters. I'm like, oh, that's going to slide in the line up if you know what I mean? So love Sergio this week, boy is good here. And I'm going to ask you this. Who to you, like if you had to pick the perfect villain with the fan favorite for like perfect TV, what would be the two guys going at it where it would be good versus evil for you? You're talking about like a final pairing on Sunday down the stretch like these two guys are going to play off or they're on the 18 pole. It comes down to good versus evil here. But what is that? Did a train just come through here? Do you hear that? I don't know what that was. Good. I mean, we're talking about the guy we're just talking about right now. I mean, can you imagine like a tiger Sergio Garcia situation? I mean, that would be you think that would do it like I think I think old guys dueling. I don't know. I'm just thinking of like who would be the one that everybody wants to win. So I guess Tiger would do that against. So who would you want like a modern version of that? Who who would everybody be cheering against? I guess like a tiger like how about how about like a Jordan speed Patrick Green situation that to me would be electric electric electric you're saying Jordan speed than Patrick Green is yours. So I see a lot of people really like Bryson. So, but he is polarizing that a lot of people don't. So maybe a Bryson it's it's I mean, all the villains seemingly around like these days, which makes for great TV. So or like or like a Brooks Patrick can't lay situation. Yes. Again, run it back. I mean, like let's let's get more of that, which is opposite though. Well, you know, you got the guy who plays fast guy who plays slow. Yeah. All right. So our props have now been stolen by some some hooligans over here. So so that that I guess that concludes perfect time and that concludes our wearing different hats. Even though we didn't really wear the different hats. Yeah. Yeah. That's my cleeks. You can keep your cleeks at my homemade live whatever the wild cars wild cars hat here. You can you can hear me that problem. No, I'm going to keep it here. You'd like to keep. Okay. The props thing. Okay. That's perfect. So then now we're moving into this is this is the moment we've all been waiting for. We made it in 48 minute system to the show. It's hanging around. I think it's time to make. Wait here. Hold on. We got we got to do we got to do some sound effects. We got to. It's time for the one I know you're here you're here because we're on a heater more than likely you want to know who we're going to pick this week. So let's just let's just briefly recap. So we're four four seven in our last picks. Yes. Our wins are I took Jake Knapp at the banana Mexico open. I took Scotty shop for the players. You took Steven Yeager, Texas Children, he checks Texas Children's Houston open and I took Octave to you at the Valero Texas open. Yep. So we're on a little bit of a heater right now. So now of course, as you know, one and done the way that works is each of us get to take a player once before they are burned. Smiley has not used Scotty Shelford this year. And so we in the lead up to this, essentially, we've been we've been functioning as if Scottie Sheffler is the de facto pick for Smiley. I mean, are we kind of want to mix it up. I'm just I'm I kind of want to kind of want to mix it up because you realize that when Scotty wins, we stay on our heater like you got to do this for the show. I'm going to take Scotty. You're going to take Scotty and I'm happy about it because I got so many, so many good ideas right here in the brain that just haven't been used yet. And what and I mean, do you need to give any of the justification as to why you're taking Scotty. Let everything I've already said. They need to be said. I mean, Scotty Shefford can win this event by six shots. I don't think anybody would be surprised. But listen, I'm I feel really comfortable about using him this week because of the firm greens. To me, if if I had heard coming into the week while the greens are soft, I would have not picked Scotty. Yeah. But Scottie. It is. Scotty. It makes sense. Yeah. So, and to be clear, I mean, if you're wanting to know who to pick and you and you can take Scotty Sheffler, I would tell you, please go take Scotty Shefford. This is the place where it makes sense. Please go do that. I thought I was going to win four in a row. Narrowly missed out on that. Houston open. But I'd advise that. But I've already burned him at the players, which was a win. And I just I keep seeing the same three guys in my head. I'm like giving you advice for who to take just one player outright. Scotty and it's Sander and it's Joaquin, like I got a I got a I got a book full of really good ideas here that none of those dudes you I know you like a lot of other guy and maybe you can throw out some additional ideas after that. But I think I'm between Zander Joaquin and I'm also kind of thinking of the strategy play here of like you talked yourself into Zander at this point. No, quite the opposite. I mean, I think where I'm at is I want to use a live guy here. Okay. It's kind of a major zone situation, yeah, the way a lot keys are playing. I love the rib Augusta comparisons with the things to Dylan to chair for, you know, some notes there. I'm going to I'm going to go with walking even this week. So we're what your cap on. It's like a it's like your college decision. Put it. Yeah. That's great. But he's not a wild card. He's not a wild card. What is he? Torque. Okay. I think shout out to the torque. Okay. Torque. Not quite sure what. So, so there you have it. Scottie and walking neem into the picture this week. I took Scottie. I mean, it's it's it's it's safe play. It's a great play for us as a show. Any other. I mean, you were talking about other ideas. So how to what because basically what we have next is we have our DFS draft. So we're doing something a little bit different this week. We drafted a team together, a daily fancy lineup together several weeks ago and kind of took turns picking workshop together. But this week, we're going to we're going to draft where the way we're going to do that is we can't take players on the other guy's team. So hopefully what we're going to do is kind of sketch out a lineup. That's a little unique on both sides. So you have the you had the first pick in the one and done. So by virtue of that, I have the first pick in DFS. Please. So thanks, Scottie. So I'm going to take Scottie. So I mean, I think that gives me a wiggle room to be able to do more with my team. Well, I can play. Yeah. There's no way I wasn't going to go with that. So so you have the next two you have the next two. Give me a give me a deckie and give me Jordan speed. Okay. Wow. All right. Here we go. We're just going to go. We're just going to say you're going to go. Hadeki and Jordan speed. All right. So I'll go back to me now. So I'm going to go ahead and plug in Scotty here and I'm going to look. So if you're going Hadeki in Jordan speed, I feel like so now I have a decision to make here and what will my second player to be and it's like Xander and Waco. And I might just man, that's a high I'm going to go with walking in the DFS. Okay. Okay. So you've Scottie and Joaquin Neiman. I feel like that's so my average reading player about it. It is top heavy, but I want two horses. So I'm going Scottie, Joaquin. So let's see here. So let me let me scroll down here and get you set up so I can tell you what you have. So Oh, by the way, you heard you. I'm sure you talked to Jordan about his injury, that wrist injury flaring back up. Did he talk about it? He did. Yeah. I think he's okay. Okay. Yeah. There you go. There's a hot tip. You have an average remaining per player of just just shy of $8,000. Do you want to do you want to skim through here and see who you like? Nope. Give me give me sahith the gala. Okay. All right. Let me type that in to see what kind of prices we're working with there. It's $7,700. So that keeps you on schedule. You not about an average of 8,000 per player left. So you have a deck. You can go and put Shane Lowry on there whenever you get a chance. That's right. Cause we're snaking it out almost. Oh, wait. I didn't get my second snake pick. Well, you're not picking Shane Lowry. I'm pick. Well, I was going to maybe take. We got lost the snake. Yeah. But were you going to always get losses? So I get three picks now. All right. That's fine. You can do both yours. You weren't going to pick Shane Lowry. Both years and I'll just take three. I was not going to pick Shane Lowry. That's for the sake of the show. All right. So you still have 8,000 remaining because Shane is 8,000. See, I actually really like your team. You have Shane Lowry, Hideki Matsayama, Jordan Speed, it's a hit the gala. Come on, dude. That's a lineup right there. Team looks great. All right. So now I'm going to go back in. I'm going to get Scottie. I'm going to get Joaquin. And now I get three picks unless I'm completely lost in a snake at this point. Okay. So I got to go with a more more affordable option here. I'm going to plug in Corey Conner's love Corey at 7,500. I think that's a really good. Is Cam Young too expensive for me right now? Cam Young, his price is 8,500. So if you're going to go there, you're going to leave yourself 7,500 for your last player. All right. Give me a hand. I have three picks. Oh, you have three picks? Yes. Because I got we got lost a snake. I had one pick loss. He's taken out. Two more picks in the snake. This is a chance you would have picked Cam Young, but I'm not positive. Well, we're going to find out. I'm going to go. Akshay. Oh man. So let me see here. So now I have I have Akshay Corey Conner's walking even Scotty Sheffler. And I have and I have 6,800 per player. And now I'm going to go back in. Let's see here. Who don't want to go with here? Go. I'm going to go with I'm going to go with Nick Taylor. Okay. Good pick. Good pick. He's Nick Taylor. We already said Nick, Nick Taylor, Neiman and Russell Henry are going to be in the top end. All right. So so tell me your team back here because you get your final two picks here. Okay. Can Russell Henley fit in my lineup? Well, let's see here. You had speed, you had Matsuyama, you had the gala and you had Larry and then if I can get Cam Young and Russell Henry, that would be great, but I don't think that all right. All right. Let me. Matt doesn't probably check out. Let me see you. Hanley. Oh wait a second. Now. Oh, you might have just done it. Is that my team? Wow. That's your team. So I have Russell Henley, Shane, Larry. Hadeki Matsuyama, Jordan Spieth, say at the gala. Cam Young. That's good. So hot fire. Team. All right. Now. Now it's time for me. So we're. So I had, let's see. I had Scotty. I had Joaquin. I've already forgotten my team. I heard you're like plug him in. Well, I kind of have to go back and forth. Is the nature. We said we got one. Yeah. I had Akshay. And then I had Nick Taylor. So I have 6600 to spin. Is that it? Scottie. So expensive. He's so expensive. Yeah. That's your strategy. Might be the winner. I think it is because there's too many other guys. But the problem is you don't left it. You know, I go with Scotty wins. That's the thing. I'm going to go with here. Should I go with Eric Van Royer and a Lucas Glover? If you're advising me. I mean, that's not the reaction I wanted right there. Well, it's just. It's just tough. Is he who came available for you? He's too expensive. Yeah. I like see who came this way. Yeah. Scotty and Joaquin kind of blew me out of the water here. See who Kim is the guy that I wish I would have probably. Oh, you know what? Here fit his way in the line. On a lark. I'm a good Denny McCarthy. Oh, yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So I've got Akshay, Corey, Denny McCarthy, Joaquin, Nieman, Scotty Sheffler, and Nick Taylor. I like Eric Van Royer. By the way. Okay. I know that was the laugh was more than just be like, Oh, yeah, like where we are. What was kind of hoping that you had like what's what's the most there is really is helpful from a DFS perspective because it kind of gives you a picture of if you're going to pick Scotty got you got to be ready to kind of go down on the bargain. Yeah. I like that. I love Hadeki Matziyama this week and I almost picked him in the one and done, but I felt obligated to keep our hot streak going. Yeah. So I'm really, really, really excited about the PGA already have my pick walked in my head. Can you can undo it right here? It's locked and key. Can't change it. So just so you know, unless I have the first pick, which would be really unfortunate for you, then potentially I have a problem. So here. So that was just a recap. Smiley's lineup Russell Hiddley, Shane Lowry, Hadeki Matziyama, Jordan Spieth to hit the gala cameo and got love that line up. I'm going to play that line up somewhere. I have akshay, but Tia, Corey Connors, Denny McCarthy, Joaquin Neeman, Scotty, Sheffler and Nick Taylor. I don't hate that lineup either. I don't hate it, but mine's like has more potential for top heavy play where yours is a little bit more. My top heavy. You have guys missing cuts. Yes, maybe possibly, probably you need everything to kind of go right. It's like it's a Hail Mary play and then we're mine. I have like all my dudes can win, but I do have some volatility as well. So well, there you go. That's it. That's the portion of we gave some pics, gave some names. So hopefully you can do something with that and hopefully the heater continues. That's really, that's really what we're here for. Scottie, you continue on the heater. We're coming to the close of the shows. You can kind of tell the background noise is dipped a little bit there. I think they're clearing tables over here. They might want us to get out here pretty soon. So we're just going to close up with just some big picture master stuff. I borrowed this from Taylor Zarser. He had a really, really cool show on SiriusXM Masters Radio where he interviewed both Mike Nance and I mean Jim Nance and not Mike Nance. Jim Nance and Mike Turico is part of like a preview special. You can find that on the app really, really cool. So he asked three questions and it was favorite food item, favorite merch item, and favorite master's moment. So let's start with you first favorite food item. The master's club, okay, that's my favorite food item and the honorable mentions there. I'm really excited about trying the chicken salad tomorrow and I might change my pick for next week. So chicken salad is good on a whole, we better on a bun. You can find it on a bun. I'd say my honorable mentions the breakfast sandwiches elite and I've been doing this thing recently where I'll take a pimento cheese sandwich and I'll open it up and I'll put potato chips inside on not the chicken, not the chicken, but I have potato chips on the pimento cheese sandwich. That's great. But my far and away winner, I've had 25 to 30 of these this week already moon pies. I could eat I could eat a thousand moon pies. I will every time I go up to get something in the press building, I'm like, Oh, you know, we'll pair great with that as a moon pie and then I just go ahead and grab that. So next one's merch. Next one's merch. You know, for me, I got so much stuff, a good, a good, a really, a really good hat would be where I go. So it's not like a specific hat or no lettering, no lettering, something that has maybe even a different bill color than than the top, but definitely just a flag. No, no big, big letters. I'm very simple when it comes to how I like my hats. Okay, I like that. I'd say for merch, I mean, it's changed over the years. This is a well documented dad pod here. Like I'm thrilled to like be, you know, be shopping for my, my son, you know, and looking for all those fun. Like the, the favorite thing I got last year was the little mini putter that has the year on it. You know, when they can stand up, they can use as their putter. I'm also like, I hate to admit it, but I've become a little bit of a gnome guy, not the full size gnome. You cannot get the whole size. I'll never understand the many gnome guy. The gnome thing makes zero sense to me for a guy that doesn't understand the word of the rings. Like I told you earlier, the gnome thing is in the same deal. It's like what star wars, the gnome, I think all these people hang out at the same place. That's like the gnomes is like, yeah, it's like Pokemon collector car and that's like, you know, loves the elves and Lord of the ring. I'm going to get a coffee mug tomorrow, though. I'm going to go find like a really cool coffee mug, big coffee mug collector. So I'm going to probably do that. So now, so that, that, I think that, that checks that box. Now talk to me about what's your favorite master's moment of all time. Um, well, I got some, I got some trauma in there for myself. So, uh, can we one that you lived or can we one that you watched, can we really anything? Favorite master's moment. I mean, from ones that I watched, it's got to be for me the Tiger Woods chip in. Yeah. Like to me, that's, that's the no brainer. I feel like that's, that's the cliche answer. Personal experience. I would say the hole in one I had in the par three was amazing. Like up there, like way, way, way up there. Uh, what are you? I'd say, I mean, anyone from our generation is going to, you know, like, I was nine years old and 97 went Tiger one. So you know, I'd watched golf prior to that, but that's like my first golf memory was the 97 masters. But because that one is so often used, uh, you know, just that last part going in, Tiger hugging his dad. Yeah. That's amazing. And the one I was with my mom in 2022 following cam and Scotty is a kind of kind of came down that. And so that's why you're a cam guy. Aren't you? I, I'm kind of a cam guy. And so the, the one that was stuck out to me was first of all, Scotty chef, they're almost hit us in the head with the drive on one. Oh, really? I'd have watched them pull it all week long. Like mom, we go left side right here. He's going to hit it. Like right here. He definitely has a pole in his game. And it dropped like right in front of us. I can like show you the video. We're standing right behind him. And he said, Scott, he hit that shot on one amazing punch, but on threes, we kind of stayed there. We kind of angled it. And on three, when they both pulled it left, they both took drops and came in a really good chip up there tight and Scotty hit that sort of screamer into the hill on my books. And then it goes in. I was like, wow, that's, he's setting the toe. Yeah. So that's your personal master. Super cool to watch that live. Yeah. And that's why you go watch the master's in person because you just can't, you cannot, you cannot do it. I mean, it's just the coolest thing ever when you hear this. It's the coolest thing ever. It's the coolest thing ever. Yeah. And you just, you got a pimento sandwich. You stuff some potato chips inside. You got a move by. I'm like, dude, that's right. Okay. I'm going to call you a shot. I'm going to call you a shot. I'm going to call you a shot. Definitely give it a shot. It is 1141. It's 1141. And I still have to edit this. So a little inside baseball for you there. So when you, when you're watching this tomorrow morning, just be like, no, I'm going to call you and be like, man, thank you, Charlie. Thank you, Charlie. Thank you. You're doing a really good job at what, at what you do. And he's going to need a cup of coffee tomorrow, and a lot of moon pies. I'm going to be wandering around. If you're going tomorrow, I'm going to be wandering around Augusta National hallucinating. So I'll look forward to that. But smiley. I'd say, what do you think? This is, this has been a lot of fun. Our, our maiden voyage was sports grid. Got a cleats hat from T bones. Got a cleats hat. I mean, it's pretty good. Any, any final thoughts you got for the audience here?
