00:00This is Xander Schauffele, and you say this all the time about what do fans want to see at the U.S. Open?

00:06Xander knows what they want to see.

00:07Are you okay with hack out, Rob, if there's, you know?

00:10It's the U.S. Open, yeah.

00:12Okay. I mean, because, you know, some people think that's boring golf.

00:17I don't think people turn the TV on to watch, you know, some of the guys just hit like a 200-yard shot on the green, you know what I mean?

00:23I think they're watching, they turn the U.S. Open to see a guy shooting eight over and suffer, you know?

00:28That's part of, like, the enjoyment of playing in the U.S. Open for viewers.

00:33Right, but, you know, you're not playing for viewers, and people say, well, that seems boring.

00:38Hack out rough seems boring, but the rough is there to test the tournament golfer, not to entertain the viewer.

00:48I mean, I think, you know, if you're a true fan of golf, it's more about what happens after the hack out.

00:54Yeah, listen, just shut up.

00:56That was the worst interview ever.

00:59Like, are you kidding me?

01:01There is nothing better than watching them.

01:05These guys are so great at golf.

01:08There's nothing better than watching them suffer like the rest of us, and it's not for the viewers.

01:15Well, then why is it on CBS every week since before Christ?

01:19It's on network television every week.

01:20It's on Golf Channel every week.

01:22More people watch golf than they do their own children, okay?

01:26So my man over here asking stupid questions, they need to get him a bottle of Fireball, get him drunk, and stuff him in the back of a car.

01:34Shut up.

01:35You suck.

01:35You're a horrible journalist.

01:37I don't care who it was.

01:38Those questions suck.

01:39Ruined my day.

01:40And Shoffley was laughing at him.

01:43Like, he's like, what?

01:44What are you talking about?

01:45At least Xander gets it.

01:47He's like, people want to watch his struggle.

01:49Like, he's into it.

01:50Like, this is what they want to see.

01:52They want to see us hacking out of this club.

01:53US Open and the Open Championship are Suffer City, and that's what I want to see.
