00:00we take a look at the tour championship which i'm not a big proponent of anyway but i like the

00:03changes i think it makes some sense and you're right if the players don't like it then so be it

00:07let's get into a little bit of controversy here we're playing on one of the more iconic places

01:08that he doesn't call the golden bear in the 50th edition of the memorial i think he'll regret that long term
