00:00To just expand further on the conversation we had at the beginning of the week is that more so than any other sport, golf is a frustrating individual game where, you know, just being competitive and results focused can really take you on a roller coaster.
00:14I mean, shoot, you know, and this is me at my very amateur level, but like there are days where you go out, you hit it fantastic.
00:21You can't buy a putt, you know, you're missing clothes and you don't choose to score.
00:26And there's days where you could just, you know, hit it all over the yard and get up and down and hoop from everywhere and shoot a good score.
00:32And if you're going to define yourself on what's the score I shot or what's, you know, did I win a trophy?
00:37That's not going to be a fun time in the game of golf.
00:39So that's why I like what Scottie's talking about in terms of process.
00:43And then just the whole family thing, like the most animated, I think we saw Scottie from the moment that last putt dropped until the coverage window ended was when he's watching Bennett try to climb up the side of the 18th green to join him up there.
00:56I just saw that video.
00:58I love it.
00:58I love it so much.
01:00I think, by the way, by the way, asking Bennett, who I think just recently learned to walk the PGA championship to try to climb up a false front.
01:06Like we got to set Bennett a little bit better up there.
01:10It's kind of setting him up for failure.
01:12All right.
01:12So the one thing I want to talk to you about, which may be lost in context a little bit of, of course, we just watched him kind of dominate this event.
01:20But let's put these major championship wins in the same bucket and look at, wait, we kind of just remember it's like, all right, at some point in all of these majors, there was like a point where it was kind of close.
01:32Maybe this open championship was, would be the exception, but he's won four majors by a combined 16 shots.
01:40And all of them have been walking up the 18.
01:43Like it's been storytelling from, you know, the middle of the back nine on for the most part in all of his wins where, you know, he's going to win major championships coming down the stretch where it's close.
01:54But the fact that he's won his first four majors in dominating fashion just makes you think there's, there's so many more to come.
02:04Yeah.
02:04I mean, I'm going back and looking now, cause I'm trying to remember.
02:07He won the PGA by five.
02:09He won.
02:09So we were at the PGA and we just watched the open.
02:13Those are both runaway wins.
02:14And then we're, I'm thinking, I'm going back and looking at the scoreboards from the 22 and 24 masters.
02:19Just think if he didn't seven putt the 18th hole of the masters.
02:22It's like the first major win for Jack's 18 and they make a big joke.
02:26He still wins by three shots.
02:28And then 24, I'm just trying, I was just jogging my memory.
02:31And it's like, oh yeah, that's the one where the closest players within a whiff were Ludwig and Colin, both those guys dumping in the water on 11.
02:38And it's like, okay, I guess this thing's over.
02:39We'll just see if Scottie can keep it on the rails down the stretch.
02:42That is tiger-esque.
02:44Like, and we're talking about comparisons, you know, just the, the fact that, and then you hear Xander reflecting that in his comments today.
02:51That's the thing that he has that you can say what you want to say about, you know, different eras, different players, you know, the, the, the fear he struck, you know, tiger struck in his competitor's heart.
03:00When Scottie's in the lead, everybody else is looking at, at it and saying, oh no, not again.
03:06Like this is just, this impacts the way they think about and play the game.
