00:00Did you ever have a Masters where you feel like you had a shot on the back nine

00:03Yeah, so I had one chance to win. It was your tiger one in 19. I lost by two

00:09and

00:10I was never really

00:12Like two was as close as I got. I just didn't have a great start

00:16I think I was one over through seven holes and you know had I been one under through seven

00:21It would have been a lot more exciting

00:23But I play with I was in the second last group with Brooks and Ian Poulter

00:27So he saw you saw some things

00:31The twelfth hole I'm hitting third Poulter hits in the water Brooks hits in the water and

00:37Somehow I managed to get it on the green or the fringe and then the group behind me

00:41You remember was it was the wind doing something funky. Could you not feel it or were guys just miss hitting shots?

00:46No, we couldn't feel it cuz Brooks when Brooke

00:48I'm sorry Brooks at first and he at nine iron and you know Brooks he's going right at it

00:54Flushed it and I'm like, this is one of the great shots ever seen

00:56It's gonna go to a foot lands on the bank spins back Poulter. It's eight. It's a great shot. You can tell he loves it

01:03He's in the water and I'm already holding eight iron thinking I got a chip it and I look at Pauly like bud

01:08What are we gonna do Poulter just hit eight? We're about the same with our irons Pauly goes through the numbers again

01:13He's like buddy. I don't know what to tell you. This is the club

01:16He's like the only thing I'll say is hit it just hit it a little lower

01:20Yeah, you're planning on that way we can kind of cheat the wind and I did I've chipped it took some spinoff went to the

01:26back fringe

01:27And then the group behind us Tony female and Molinari both hit in the water. Are you just thinking?

01:32What are you thinking right now?

01:33Are you are you it's because you don't really know what where the board stands when you get to 13 T

01:38Cuz now I assume you two putt for par you see Tiger hit on the green

01:42But you just saw a lot of your competition just hit it in the penalty area

01:46Are you do you have a little pep in your step walk?

01:4913 yeah, cuz I got 13 and 15. I'm like, I've seen guys do it

01:53I've seen guys finish five or six under on these last bunch of holes like there's still a chance, but I think I birdied 13 and

02:0115 and that was it or 13 and 16, but I remember this was fun. I teed off 13

02:07I hear all this going on and normally Augusta crowds are so controlled

02:11Yeah, but when Molinari and phenol hit in the water, there was some cheering going on for Tiger

02:16You know, they cheered that these balls were in the water. So I turned around

02:21To kind of take in the moment because I'm like and I don't know how many more of these I get to play

02:26And it was a cool picture

02:28It's Tiger on the left side of the green on 12

02:31Kind of hands folded in the black and red and you see these two other guys taking a drop in the drop

02:37I'm like man. This is exactly how Tiger would have drawn it up
