00:00A lot of talk about Max's you know just season at large and and we've talked golly since we had

00:07Max on the show about just the swing changes he was grinding on he showed us some video way back

00:11when I think he switched coaches since you know new equipment just a lot of different things going

00:16on for him and there's been a little bit of armchair analysis about you know what it is Max is doing

00:21differently in his swing and and what got him into contention this week at TPC deer run what

00:26are you seeing that looks different for for Max for for you it may be in the swing or any other

00:32observations you made about the mental side of the game whatever else comes to mind in terms of why

00:36he's playing better golf I think his iron swing looked really good um this week it just looked

00:41like his arms and the golf club were more out in front of him that helped him be able to get the

00:46ball started left and actually hit a fade you know just those little feeling fewer fade shots I haven't

00:52seen him be quite as good with those this year if anything to me he's had a two-way miss with his

00:56iron game uh he's he's missed greens left with with left pins which uh I saw all that happened often

01:03earlier in the year when I was watching him uh but the it's not surprising though to me that the driver

01:09actually has been pretty good this year um which you wouldn't think would make sense but because you

01:15have more time and the club is you know if it's a little behind you a little bit you do have more time

01:20to kind of get it squared up but um the shorter clubs especially when you want to hit some of

01:26those feel shots um you're going to be you know you're going to have some two-way misses there so

01:31uh it looks like you swing the golf club better this week and most certainly yes the the crowd

01:37favorite and definitely uh the biggest name I felt like heading into this week and one that I I'm sure

01:43that the tour would have loved at max number one and uh as well as as well as John Deere and I

01:48definitely was rooting for him as well uh because it has been a hard year it's surprising really to

01:53me to see that he was you know outside the top 100 coming into the week that that really did surprise

01:58me because it doesn't seem like too long ago that you and I were making cases of well if he you know

02:03if he played really well at this major you know pulled this one out you know he's got a chance to be

02:09in the Ryder Cup conversation I think I I'm just replaying those conversations in my head and then I see

02:14where he's at on the FedEx Cup which isn't a barrier to uh necessarily of where somebody lands on the

02:20Ryder Cup point standings list but it did surprise me a lot to see that he is uh currently out of the

02:26top 100 I believe I don't know where he jumped to but it's it's right around that number
