00:00All right, Keith, let's go through a few of these guys towards the top.

00:02First, I've seen Rahm.

00:04He looks like he wants to take every club out of his bag,

00:07snap it over his knee,

00:09throw them all in the creek as he goes over that bridge.

00:12Rahm has had a miserable day.

00:13I think he's far over now.

00:15You know, with some of these guys, Mike,

00:17you could blame it on one skill or a bad break or something like that,

00:21but Rahm's been all over the place today.

00:23He's been a big disappointment.

00:24He has to be the biggest disappointment on the board.

00:26I know you mentioned Nick Dunlop, but, you know,

00:28nobody was betting him to win, right?

00:30Like, yeah, you know, Rahm went off at 14.

00:36So he was the third favorite to go off today

00:39when the odds board kind of closed pre-tournament.

00:41You know, and the thing is, he's got five bogeys on his card, right?

00:46And he's coming up to the two par fives, but he's already four over.

00:49He's going to shoot himself right out of the six.

00:51Right now, he's 12 shots behind.

00:54He's finished.

00:55He's got no shot.

00:56The only thing he's got to work for now is to try to backdraft his way

01:00into the weekend and try to do that.

01:02That's pretty much – and I don't think he can get his head on straight

01:05before he can even do that.

01:07What did you see from JT this morning?

01:09Because I thought that was very disappointing.

01:12Well, you know what?

01:12JT was unbelievable with the putter.

01:15So yesterday, if you and I were talking on a golf Wednesday,

01:17if I told you that JT gained two and a half strokes with his putter just in round one,

01:22you would have been like, Keith, double my bet, triple my bet, right?

01:27But the driver was all over the place.

01:28This place does have some room off the tee.

01:31JT was a little – he was a little outside those parameters.

01:34But you know what?

01:35The rest of the ball striking was okay.

01:37The chipping was a little bit off and on.

01:39But I think JT getting out of it today with a 73 for us was a home run

01:44because he's going to get back out there tomorrow.

01:47He's going to figure some things out.

01:48And we know with JT you get a roller coaster.

01:50So if that's JT's bad round, right, we know we're going to get a couple hot rounds.

01:55I think JT's still in it.

01:57Unlike Rom, who's just pretty much toast at this point,

02:00I think we could still get a good charge out of JT tomorrow

02:03and then a couple more rounds, we'll see what happens.

02:06The problem there, unfortunately, for the qualifier is that we need Rory

02:11or Scotty in order to take a step sideways,

02:14at least to sit in position for a little while in order for JT to catch up.

02:19So it's – right now, right now, I'm hitched to Xander.

02:23I need Xander.

02:24He's at plus one.

02:25I would love to see Xander make a little – get it under par.

02:28By the time he gets it in the house today, he'll be in that top 11.

02:31Remember now, minus one is still top 11, and there's, what,

02:34almost 30 guys under par.

02:35So I think that it's going to be harder tomorrow.

02:38Xander will play in the morning when it's soft.

02:40He could do Xander things.

02:4228 guys right now in red on the – right now, at this moment,

02:46as me and you are speaking.
