00:00What do you think he does to him in the long haul?

00:07Like I would have been on like an entire bottle of scotch within 30 minutes after I left that

00:12parking lot.

00:15He's interesting in the sense, Scott, that, you know, a lot of golfers we see, they struggle

00:20for a long time to win a major and then they'll start to win a couple.

00:24We'll see if it happens for Xander Shoffley after, but as far as the trolls and Rory's

00:29almost going backwards in a sense, right now it's getting harder for him to win.

00:35But as you said, we live in a troll era right now.

00:37Rory's one of the best golfers ever and he's going to get, he's going to get another major.

00:43I wouldn't bet against him as you just talked about at the open.

00:45Actually, I think that's a good spot for him.

00:47Look at Xander Shoffley, dude.

00:49He was knocking on the door.

00:50He was top seven all the time.

00:52Top five, top three, top two all the time.

00:55Look at Bryson, right?

00:57Bryson, you know, goes to live, comes back.

01:00He was second.

01:01He was six.

01:02He was knocking on the door once again.

01:04I think Rory will break through.

01:06That's a heartbreak.

01:07You're right there.

01:08I think Rory, as you get older, Scott, you start to overthink things.

01:11I've heard golfers talk about that.

01:13Say, you know, it's better when you're young.

01:15You kind of don't really think too much when you're out there.

01:18When you get older, you start to, you overthink things.

01:20I think Rory just overthought things a little bit, but I do think he's got another one.

01:27I think it's like 0-37 right now, Scott.

01:29It's been a hell of a run right now, right?

01:31I think he's going to get one at some point, maybe two, but at least one more major for

01:36Rory before he's done.

01:37And as far as Bryson's concerned, it goes to show how who you are and how you are perceived

01:45can change, Scott, over a couple of years.

01:48This guy used to be one of the most disliked guys on the tour.

01:51Now he's arguably the most popular guy, and he's going to live, right?

01:54People love him.

01:55Played up to Payne Stewart stuff as well, like, you know what I mean?

01:58It's amazing how the things have changed.

02:00And he had Payne in his bag, and he had a hat, and like, dresses like him.

02:04He wants to be like him.

02:06But it wasn't fake.

02:07Going back to college, like, he's looked up to Payne, and he's copied him.

02:10Even said, you know, I wore Kangols and sleeveless stuff because of him, right?

02:14So it was actually pretty genuine with Bryson, and I'm happy for him.

02:18Hell of a win for him.
