00:00It's a little chilly out here, I will say the temperature isn't quite 90 degrees, which

00:08I left Birmingham as the high today, so the weather in Montreal is going to be a little

00:14on the cooler side.

00:15We're supposed to get some rain tomorrow and Thursday, and then Friday, Saturday, Sunday

00:20are going to be gems of a day.

00:23It's kind of cool to look forward to fall golf in a way.

00:28Both of us living in southern states, and we can look at a calendar and it says September,

00:33but we can step outside and we still feel the humidity and the heat, and it's like,

00:36can we just get to the part of the year where the leaves change a little bit and it's a

00:39little cooler outside and you can enjoy your rounds?

00:42That's obviously going to be the case in Montreal this week, so it's going to be fun to see

00:45that on the TV.

00:48You kind of teed us up a little bit there on just players' vibe on site.

00:53We're going to get into more in-depth stuff, the course itself, some stats, things like

00:58that.

00:59You didn't see a ton of guys from the international team on site today.

01:01Did you catch up with anyone on the U.S. team or assistant captains at all?

01:07I literally didn't see anybody.

01:08All I did was my course prep, but yeah, I've been ... I watched live from yesterday.

01:14I also saw-

01:15Johnson.

01:16He's back.

01:17I saw Johnson out there today.

01:20I didn't see what hole, apparently he had another chili chunk in a thin over the green.

01:24Have you seen it?

01:25Back to back.

01:26Was it on hole 12?

01:28Because that's where he was set up, that he was going to try some shots.

01:32I don't know what hole it was because I was just kind of scrolling through Twitter or

01:36X or whatever, and I saw the video and stopped on it and just pulled it up and flipped the

01:40audio on halfway through, and Randall Chamblee and Paul McGinley are just in tears, just

01:46crying, laughing.

01:48The chunk immediately followed by the blade, just amazing stuff from Johnson.

01:52He's a champ.

01:53Oh gosh.

01:54He was telling me that he got in the lake where he hit the shot yesterday, and he said

02:00because of the way the wind was blowing, that it was bringing all of the gunk in the lake

02:06to that little section in which he was hitting that shot out of the water from.

02:10He got in there, he says it was freezing and that it was real fluffy in there, but when

02:16he hit the shot, when he got out, there was a line, he said, that was like halfway up

02:22on his shinbone of just a gunk mark on his pants.

02:27He said it just was some nasty stuff in that pond there at the 14th, but it was epic.

02:33I mean, it's so funny watching live somebody screw up chipping or whatever it is.

02:41I think it's, it's one of the best things in golf right now is, is when Johnson gets

02:46a wedge in his hands, because I guarantee right now, if I got in the same spot, I mean,

02:51especially with bent like softer fairways, man, I wouldn't want to be hitting anything

02:57with spin on it.

02:58Like I didn't want to put it back and just, just do anything, but try to get one up in

03:03the air.

03:04I just don't think I'm quite ready to hit flop flop shots and spinners on, on a one

03:09take basis.

03:10Right.

03:12It is very like on command.

03:13It's, it's, it's got to feel a little bit different.

03:15Even though both of you all have played PGA tour events in front of thousands of spectators

03:20on site and even more on television hits, it's a very different thing where it's like

03:24four Sims.

03:25It's like four Sims.

03:26Yeah.

03:27And like, and how you're out of rhythm.

03:28And that's something that these guys are gonna be dealing with this week.
