00:00And how many times have you done that track and been on the bag at Augusta?

00:07And I've said this a number of times on this show,

00:09that there are guys that play this course well for, like, life.

00:14They know this golf course, and they know how to play it.

00:17They know where to hit it.

00:18They know where to run it.

00:19They know the angles.

00:21They know the greens.

00:22They know the speed.

00:24And they know exactly what they're doing.

00:26Guys that are even old, even Bernie and Freddie,

00:29they still know how to play that golf course.

00:32How many times have you seen it?

00:33And how many times have you done the bag at Augusta?

00:37Seven.

00:39So, yeah, I had five with Kenny Perry, one with Nick Faldo, and one with Len Matisse.

00:44So, yeah, that was some fun stuff.

00:47And I actually got shorted on two others that I qualified for.

00:51Kenny got hurt one year, and then I won with Chez Revy,

00:55but I didn't make it calendar-wise to the Masters.

00:58I got relieved in my duties.

00:59But, anyway, you hit it on the dot.

01:02The uniqueness of that place is that, you know what,

01:04it's the only major that you play the same course.

01:07So everybody gains the knowledge, and everybody piles it up,

01:10and everybody stores all the memories and all that,

01:13and that's what makes it such a cool place.

01:15So you've seen guys, you said it to me in the break,

01:19that seven shots is not that big of a deal at that place.

01:23No, it really isn't.

01:26I mean, you know, look at 96, and, you know, Norman was walking away with a place,

01:31and Faldo just came out and just stomped, you know, just took over,

01:34and he just took it right to him, and it's one of the biggest comebacks ever,

01:38you know, like a 12-shot difference in score.

01:41But, I mean, yeah, it's just, it's such a fun, it's a course with a lot of edges,

01:45and I can say yesterday from watching it, I mean, they really,

01:49they gave those greens a real good haircut.

01:51I mean, they were really a lot faster than they were any of the first three days,

01:55and that's why you saw these guys jacking putts.

01:58How many times have you seen that Rays Creek come into play

02:02on a Saturday and a Sunday at Augusta?

02:05It's crazy.

02:06It's like the thing's got magnets in it.

02:09It is.

02:10I mean, I had, unfortunately, my guy, I was there one year with Kenny Perry,

02:14and we were running up the leaderboard, and we drove it down 13,

02:17and we had a six iron into 13.

02:19This was back before they pushed the tee back,

02:22and Kenny pounded it out there pretty good.

02:24He hit the prettiest six iron going right at the pin.

02:26We're, like, in fifth or sixth place,

02:28and the thing just fell out of the air and into the creek.

02:31And you just look at each other, and you just, you know, I mean, it's,

02:35I almost have said that, you know, some of those holes are haunted,

02:37and I say that jokingly, but, I mean, it's crazy, the, you know,

02:41the stuff that happens there, and you saw a whole bunch of it yesterday.
