00:00I was having lunch with Max Homa at home.

00:03We live in the same area.

00:04We belong at the same club.

00:05And he was telling a Tiger story where he's like,

00:09as long as you just like are still there,

00:11like just you don't have to do anything crazy,

00:14especially at a US Open.

00:15He's like, Tiger said, this, this would happen.

00:18And you know, the wind will switch,

00:19but you just got to just stay there.

00:21Like even if you're four back, like you just got to stay there.

00:24Like you don't have to do anything crazy.

00:26And I kind of was thinking about that out there this afternoon

00:29where, you know, I was four back maybe going back out

00:34after the delay and then, you know, I made some good pars,

00:37nothing crazy, and got a really good birdie.

00:41And then next thing you know, I'm like tied for the lead, I think.

00:44And you know, within four holes of the restart.

00:48So that's just kind of goes back to that.

00:50Like you just try to just stay there.

00:52Like don't, you don't have to do anything crazy,

00:54especially at a US Open.

00:55So all those things came true.

01:06I'm not sure.

01:07If you have one thing,

01:09you know.

01:10If you have two answers,

01:12you're not sure to see the answer to the answer.

01:13But that's enough.

01:14If you've got two questions in the answer,

01:16you're not sure.

01:17You're not sure to hear that.

01:19I'm sure to have one answer.

01:21So you're going to go out,

01:23you're going to get one thing.

01:25You'll tap your mouth.

01:25You're going to get one thing.
