Here's the interesting sort of wrinkle here when we're kind of looking at what the what
00:07
the picks could be.
00:08
And those are coming this next week.
00:09
Right.
00:10
Like I think the Tuesday after the tour championship.
00:12
So Keegan is now 10th on that President's Cup points list.
00:17
Like I mean, it's obviously it's cut off now, but that's where he moved with the win of
00:20
the BMW championship.
00:22
He is currently an assistant captain on that team.
00:24
So the question is, do you take Keegan as a playing captain?
00:29
Because here's the list from seven to 12.
00:31
Sam Burns was two weeks ago outside of the top 12.
00:34
He was 13th.
00:35
He's now seventh.
00:36
Then you have Tony Finau, Russell Henley, Keegan Bradley, Brian Harmon and Max Homa.
00:42
Brian Harmon, Max Homa at 1112 are obviously not playing here at Eastlake.
00:46
If you go further down that list, you have a group of guys who are past that top 12,
00:50
but who are playing this week.
00:52
That includes Chris Kirk at 13, Akshay Bhatia at 14, Billy Horschel at 17, Tom Hoagie, 18
00:59
and Justin Thomas at 19.
01:01
So starting with just that American side, what how are you seeing this next week or
01:07
so shake out?
01:08
And do you think do you think that that group of guys who are outside the top 12 with a
01:13
good week here kind of force their way in the door?
01:15
I think you just set the table really nicely there.
01:17
I think it's kind of obvious to me that there's a couple shoe ins that you pick, you know,
01:22
the way Sam Burns has been playing in the way Tony Finau have been playing.
01:26
To me, those those two guys are just no brainers.
01:29
It feels like to me that it'd be really difficult for Jim Furyk not to pick Keegan Bradley just
01:34
with the backlash, him being in the room.
01:36
I think you kind of get to see both sides of it.
01:40
And personally, I think we all want to see Keegan play, do you think?
01:43
Not to interrupt you, but just quickly on the Keegan thing, because I'm interested.
01:46
I think there's a world where Keegan lobbies to not be picked so he can gain more captain
01:51
experience ahead of the radical.
01:53
That's an insane line of thought.
01:55
Your whole goal as a as a professional golfer is to make as many of these teams as possible.
02:01
Being an assistant captain, it's the role is it's it's very minute as far as like what
02:07
you can do on the golf course.
02:09
The only guy that can give advice is the captain.
02:12
So you really are just out there just being a good support system and you're just getting
02:17
to watch, really.
02:19
So when you get to be inside the ropes and playing, I think there's nothing that beats
02:25
that.
02:26
And this isn't to say that these captains aren't on numerous calls trying to figure
02:30
out the stats, you know, talking to these players, trying to talk to the captain.
02:34
There is a tons of roles that go into making these teams.
02:40
So I'm not trying to diminish what these assistant captains do do.
02:44
But if you're Keegan, you're not turning down the opportunity to represent the USA and,
02:49
you know, to potentially, you know, who knows?
02:52
I know he's the one picking, but if he goes out and is undefeated at the President's Cup,
02:58
it's a nice resume builder for him going into next year.
