00:00 A year without winning a major would be pretty similar

00:01 to the other 25 years of my life, I guess.

00:03 No, I think that I like to focus more

00:09 on the way I approach things and my attitude

00:11 than I would the actual results.

00:14 Yes, it's so fun to win majors,

00:16 but I'm not gonna sit at the end of the year

00:18 and look back on the year and be frustrated

00:20 or upset because I didn't win a major.

00:23 I step up on the tee at every tournament hoping to win,

00:28 and anytime I don't win, I'm usually pretty frustrated.

00:31 And that's kind of the nature of the game,

00:33 is at the end of every year,

00:34 you're usually fairly frustrated

00:36 because you just can't win that much.

00:38 I mean, Tiger didn't even win that much.

00:39 He lost a lot more than he won.

00:41 It's not like other sports.

00:42 And as long as I show up with a good attitude

00:45 and play with a good attitude,

00:47 that's most of what I try to focus on.

00:48 And at times I'm really good at that,

00:50 and at times I struggle with that,

00:52 but that's what I focus on.

00:53 That's what he focuses on, Joe.

00:55 You gotta have a good, positive attitude, Joe.

00:57 - Yeah.

00:58 - When you're out there, - You know what he is?

00:59 - only one guy wins every week.

01:00 What is he, Joe?

01:01 I wanna hear.

01:02 - He's like a NASCAR champion.

01:04 He's a compiler.

01:05 He's just compiling top 10 finishes.

01:08 - That's not fair. - And he's gonna hoist

01:09 the cup at the end.

01:10 Why is it the same thing?

01:12 That's the, wait a second.

01:12 - He's the number one player in the world.

01:15 - Exactly.

01:16 But wait a second.

01:17 When you equate it to NASCAR,

01:19 they give the year-long series winner the cup.

01:24 That's the best racer in the season.

01:26 It's the same thing like Scotty Shefflin.

01:28 Doesn't have to win the Daytona 500.

01:31 Doesn't have to win the Masters.

01:32 Doesn't have to win the Open or the PGA Championship.

01:36 Just finish in the top 10, baby.

01:38 Compile, compile.

01:40 And then at the end of the day,

01:41 he's the number one golfer.

01:43 What's wrong with that?

01:45 Consistency.

01:45 - That almost worked out for him last year,

01:49 and then he choked up that lead to Rory

01:52 at the FedEx Cup Championship

01:54 at the end of the last tournament of the year

01:56 as he let that slip through his fingers.

01:59 He's been excellent this year.

02:01 Awesome.

02:01 He's plus 750 right now.

02:03 Now, even with Rory on the odds boards,

02:06 I've seen some houses where Sheffler is now the favorite,

02:08 Joe, you know how I am.

02:10 There is your numbers for Scotty up there on the board

02:14 and where they have moved.

02:15 In fact, Joe,

02:16 I think that they even take you

02:17 a little bit further back there.

02:20 When it opened, which was last year,

02:22 he was plus 850.

02:24 So eight to one yesterday, plus 750 today.

02:27 The most money is on Sheffler

02:30 to win the Open Championship.
