00:00James, I have a little bit of show and tell for you here, because I have a little piece

00:05of memorabilia from the 2021 Walker Cup, a little Mother's Day pin. And there were three

00:10guys on that American team. I watched all three of them play. You mentioned Ricky Castillo,

00:17John Pak and Quade Cummins, which as the kids these days, they talk a lot about aura. Quade

00:22had a real aura about him and I love watching him following him around. So I was just curious,

00:27you know, obviously a few years removed from that team in 2021, but just those three guys

00:32linked via that team. What do you think their prospects are on the PGA tour? Yeah. So we,

00:38you know, we hit a bit on Castillo. He's, he has, he's kind of one of those players

00:44that knows he's good. Like it just, he's, he finds his way into contention a lot. Top

00:50to bottom, same thing, does everything well. You know, maybe I'd like him to have a little

00:56bit of a better attitude towards himself. He gets pretty hard on himself when he's not

01:01delivering or not doing what he's meant to, like we all can on the golf course. But I

01:05feel like if he's kind of outlook about being a bit little kinder to himself, I think he'll

01:10be able to, you know, really dial it in. And, uh, I like his swagger. I think he's a poker

01:17shell necklace guy. I want to say, yeah, there you go. Yeah. It's a fly, you know, but, uh,

01:24it's good. I kind of, I dig that too. And it's, it's, uh, look, John Park's kind of

01:29the same, the parks, like, uh, it was, they were all having fun and, you know, I might

01:34have part took in a, in a libation after they got their cards with them and just watching

01:39them celebrate and little different guy, you know, park coming out of PGA tour university

01:45won every award in college, you know, and then he's not, he's, he was the number one

01:50on PGA tour university right before they actually gave the PGA tour card away, you

01:55know, to the guys like they have over the last couple of years. And then he, he went

01:58on and to have no success at all on the corn ferry tour, lost his card, really had to come

02:03back, uh, and turn it back into a PGA tour card. Like he did when he got a victory this

02:08year and then who is, uh, but he's, but he does everything well, doesn't hit a long way,

02:14but doesn't miss fairways top five inaccuracy, you know, um, very, very efficient from the

02:20fairway cause he has to be. And, uh, and then the last one you mentioned there was, uh,

02:26quite Cummings. It's funny you say that he has that air about him where it's super nice

02:30guy, but he's held like really high from all these peers. It's almost like he's, he's

02:37kind of been out there a long time. And everyone always talks about quite like, Oh man,

02:42quite, he's so good. This guy, like, you know, and he's, he's pretty quiet kid. He's,

02:47you know, he's not outgoing and you know, he's, you're not going to notice him when

02:51he walks into a room, but he's the guy that apparently you look, I saw it a little bit

02:56on show this year, but he has, I heard the greatest short game ever. Like all the guys

03:02out of that Oak tree national hotbed, which is about 20 tour players that play that course

03:08like Zach Boshu was talking to me about, Hey man, I just hang around quite Cummings

03:12as much as I can. I learned he's one of those guys that uses every part of the wedge to

03:17hit shots. Like it's kind of really cool. And, and also he, he was the best putter on

03:23the corn free tour this season. And apparently I need to ask him this, but apparently he

03:28doesn't use his game up when he's at Oak tree national and in Oklahoma, he uses a different

03:34putter on the road than he does when he's home. It sounds like a ducky type of type

03:38of stuff going on here. And I get it, the greens at Oak tree are like super fast and

03:43you know, can send shivers down your spine. But yeah, he's a guy that just is apparently

03:48a magician with the wedge in his hand. And he just, once again, he got his card really

03:54easily this year without a W and, and didn't, didn't look stressed at all. Looked at it

03:59almost knew that he was going to get it. So I'm excited to watch him, you know, play big

04:04boy golf and, and especially with how everyone else talks about him.
