00:00Dan may have said it on the broadcast. She's like man

00:02This guy just needs to play every day like he's in the lead because yeah

00:06Just has that look about him that he's not going anywhere that he's clutch

00:11And I think you kind of mentioned this too. Is that?

00:15Presence

00:16It just never made sense for him not to make that team. It was overthought

00:20Nick Taylor's ability to make big putts. I don't care about what the stats say

00:25It was a mistake to not have him on that team. Were they ever gonna beat the u.s?

00:29I don't know, but you gotta take Nick Taylor to Canada. You just got to I

00:351 million percent agree

00:36I'd rather lose a

00:39President's Cup with Nick Canada of with Nick Canada with Nick Taylor on his home soil

00:44Because he has an off week, you know and just have that be the way it goes then have the chance of him

00:51Showing up and just I mean it's it's kind of insane

00:55Especially when you chart the progression of the round as you did where he misses two four footers

00:59When he definitely has a chance at winning this golf tournament is in and around the lead

01:03but there's not like that inherent pressure of

01:0572nd hole need to chip in for Eagle or now I'm in a playoff and I need to come up with some you know

01:10Pretty miraculous shots. So you just keep the playoff going or win it

01:13I mean that it's amazing how he has the ability to flip the switch

01:16so it's one of those guys where of course you could look at his form in the latter half of 2024 and say

01:23Maybe there are other guys out there that are playing a little bit better right now

01:25but I just think you kind of throw that out the window for Nick Taylor when you know his

01:30Ability to come up in the clutch and he'd be playing in front of a home crowd and that adds so much more

01:36To that sort of sense of clutchness, I guess it was a mistake

01:40Yeah, it you know, you do your best with statistics to try to fill out your team

01:45But I don't care about what the form says. He had to have been on that team. He would have

01:51You know, I just

01:53Just seem silly that he wasn't when you look back on it. So you're onside again this week last week

01:59We did yet as unnamed segment. We had some a little bit of social suggestions there

02:05We haven't nailed down what this is yet, but basically maybe smiley superlatives something like that and effectively it's

02:11All the four main strokes game categories off the tee approach around the green and putting not necessarily the leader of those categories

02:19But who impressed you and each of those categories this week a while. I so let's start with off the tee. Oh

02:26gosh

02:28Can kind of go one of two ways here and I'm actually gonna pick the same person twice

02:34Because I think they're like very similar. You're gonna do that. We've been woodland and Patrick Fishburne

02:39They remind me so much of each other and they both had really good driving weeks. I was so impressed at

02:47Patrick's ability to to flight iron shots down off the tee and hit a stinger and

02:53we've watched Gary Woodland over the last decade or so hit these stinger shots and

02:58Change trajectories off off tees hitting it really long and also hitting shots

03:04That's what Fishburne does man. He's he reminds me a ton of Gary Woodland and Gary drove it really well this week, too

03:11He was a guy that was accuracy wise

03:13He was right around the top ten and had a really nice week
