00:00One last question about VJ, because this is the story that I was supposed to ask.
00:05Did he ever on the fifth hole at Augusta try to hit like three woods out of that bunker to get enough topspin to roll it onto the green?
00:13Is this like a true story?
00:14That's a true story.
00:15I've seen him.
00:16He did it.
00:16Would he do it in the tournament, too?
00:18Like if he hit it down in there?
00:19I don't know if he's there, but I've seen him take a three iron and hit it as hard as he could into that face on number five.
00:26And then it changes the spin, and it would topspin out, and it would land like 100 yards, and then all of a sudden it looked like he took a bouncy ball and threw it on concrete.
00:35And I'm like, what is that?
00:36He's like, oh, bro, you got to have all these shots around here, bro.
00:40I'm like, you're not trying that.
00:42He's like, yeah, I'll try it, but I don't know if he did it in the tournament, but I have seen him do that multiple times.
00:49It's like as hard as he can hit a three iron right into that big old lip, and then it's backspinning.
00:56Then when it hits, it changes over, and if he catches it like in the right spot, it gets enough launch to get over, and it will land like 100 yards short, and then it'd have like you threw a tennis ball or a bouncy ball down on concrete, and it just takes off.
01:11Well, as somebody who's really good at hitting the lip in a fairway bunker, all I need to do is just start clubbing up more, because it always ends up about six yards short.
01:21I need to go down and loft and hit three irons instead.
01:25There's a lot of things with my time with him.
01:28Obviously, he's, you know, for that 10 years or however long his career was, but really 10 years where he played amazing, he's one of the best players to ever do it.
01:39And I was lucky to spend some time with him, but there's a lot of like, what just happened moments with him, right?
01:47Where you're trying to wrap your mind around like, what is he thinking?
01:51How does he do this, et cetera?
