00:00What was your assessment last week of the PGA championship?

00:03I mean, certainly, you know, the great story from Jonathan Vegas.

00:08I mean, that to me was the story for the first two days.

00:11He hung in there a little bit on the third day.

00:13But then Scotty Scheffler just came from somewhere in the top 20 to rise to the top and didn't look back.

00:20It was very anticlimactic at the end.

00:23Yeah, you're right.

00:24He sucked a lot of the drama out of the event like he does so often.

00:28He just does not come back to the pack.

00:30He's a great front runner.

00:32He's able to hold a lead.

00:34He just doesn't make any mistakes.

00:36And, you know, we talked last Thursday and we were looking at this leaderboard and you mentioned Jonathan Vegas.

00:42And, you know, there was a lot of other guys, Alex Smalley.

00:45And we're like, gosh, who's who on this leaderboard?

00:48But eventually the cream started to rise to the top.

00:51And Jon Rahm was right there tied for the lead for a second.

00:55Bryson DeChambeau in the lead for a second.

00:57But both of those guys were just swallowed up and eaten alive by the three most difficult holes on the golf course.

01:04The Green Mile, 16, 17 and 18.

01:07Bryson DeChambeau going into the lead on Saturday at eight under par and then makes a mess of the last three holes on Saturday.

01:15Rahm basically does the same thing on Sunday.

01:18And Scotty Scheffler made those holes look pedestrian.

01:21I mean, it really is incredible.

01:24It's not as flashy.

01:26It's not as electric.

01:28But, you know, we were talking off air about the comparisons to Tiger Woods.

01:33And I think one thing is certainly relatable.

01:35And it's the fact that this guy just does not blow golf tournaments.

01:40He sucks the drama out of it just the way Tiger used to as well.

01:43You know, Sergio trying to catch him and Phil trying to catch him and Duvall and Vijay and Ernie Els.

01:48And you just knew what was going to happen.

01:51And it felt very similar here this last week at Quail Hollow.
