00:00Where do you put Scotty on this Friday and his outlook for winning his third green jacket

00:04in the last four years this weekend? Ben, the outlook is very, very positive. Yesterday,

00:10probably the most important thing to point out is that Scotty had a clean card, right? He just

00:15walked around this place like it was easy. You know, the scoring average at the end of the day

00:20was plus 1.6 strokes over par. Both waves were about that same number. You know, only 26 players

00:26finished under par. He's sitting right there at four under. Great champions. They never go out

00:31like rabbits. They just pace themselves. He'll hit four under for four days and, you know, he'll be

00:3616 under and the next closest guy will be 10. I mean, Scotty just doesn't make the mistakes, Ben.

00:42And, you know, Rose yesterday in the interview room, and I want to bring this up for the viewers,

00:47he said it so well. The reason that that top 10 after round one trend is so strong here is because

00:54if you have to chase, at some point, you have to make a decision to go after a pin that,

00:59from the middle of the fairway, that you just can't do it. And these guys are so good,

01:03they convince themselves, I can hit that shot in that corner, or I can do that. But that's what

01:07makes this place so special. You go, you make an unforced error, you make a bogey, and you go

01:11backwards rather than forwards when you're trying to hit the gas pedal. The car stalls out. Scotty just

01:16won't do that. And he'll just beat you with a thousand paper cuts over the next three days.
