00:00now scotty and rory not just a dream uh for us keith it's probably a dream for television too

00:06because if they have scotty and rory in the top five on saturday and sunday they are going to be

00:13hoping up up up and away through the roof with people watching yeah there's no doubt about that

00:19and and one of the things that i expect and those guys will be handled be able to handle better than

00:23anybody that is is that the golf course is going to be set up much more difficult tomorrow you know

00:28right now the scoring average in the am wave was about plus 1.6 in the afternoon wave it's about

00:33plus 2.6 it's about a stroke harder but they're going to make this place even tougher tomorrow

00:38i guarantee you they don't like seeing all of these red scores that they're seeing today remember

00:42they're targeting like an 8 to 10 under winner so i think tomorrow they're going to stiffen things up

00:46a little bit now the morning guys the guys that are out there right now you might want to worry

00:50about rose and rory because they're going to have a little bit of an advantage it's going to rain

00:54overnight tonight maybe even as much as a quarter of an inch it's going to happen a very short period

00:58of time and then tomorrow morning conditions will be very conducive to scoring no wind a little bit

01:03softer surfaces the afternoon it's going to blow so the guys that were out this morning and had that

01:09advantage are going to come out tomorrow afternoon when it's going to be a little bit more windy

01:12i think it's going to level things out a little bit and i think you're going to see maybe rose

01:17scotty and rory kind of work their way to the top of that leaderboard after 36 holes

01:23well the downfall to what i just said to you is is as we look at the live board right now

01:29we always like to try to find live spots with scotty and rory because the pre-tournament numbers are so

01:35let's face it unplayable scotty plus 260 rory plus 280 as we sit here at this moment

01:42that's still just not there for me keith with three rounds to go that's just not where i want to be

01:48no not at all you know a couple years ago when scotty won in 22 he was you know at the end of

01:53thursday he was 10 to 1 and that's an opportunity right but right now there aren't any op there were

01:57no opportunities pre-tournament and you know maybe one of them has a rough day tomorrow with 36 holes

02:02to go you know if scotty was sitting at plus 260 on sunday then it's go time but right now with three

02:08rounds to go your head's in the right spot uh rose by the way plus 550 and then you go all the way to

02:1516 with ludwig uh and cory connor's at 22 who played well this morning he finished four under

02:21was one of the first guys who got in the clubhouse with a pretty good number
