00:00And then you had Nick Dunlap on here, which I thought was, you know,

00:02That's the other one I think that people will kind of always refer back to

00:07with his career.

00:08I think it's kind of going to be his low point in his career, you would imagine.

00:12Like when you shoot, was it 90?

00:14You shoot 90?

00:15Yeah, yeah.

00:16I tell you what, that's tough on the grand world stage of the Masters,

00:21and especially for a player that we all know how good he is.

00:26I mean, I watched a kid play since he was a kid.

00:29So it's, you know, I hate to see it.

00:32But I also know that it's never going to stop him from getting to where he's

00:37eventually going to get to.

00:38He goes 90, 71, and the extra context of that story was he goes and buys

00:45or has his agent go buy a bag of balls, and he's staying at some house in the

00:49area just near the woods and just rips balls into the woods that night to kind

00:53of let it all out.

00:54That's how he is.

00:54It's amazing.

00:55He's just so dedicated to his craft, and I know he's going to get through

01:00whatever it is that started kind of around that time with, you know, the stuff

01:06off the tee.

01:07Once he gets that cleaned up, the rest of the game is so good.

01:09So that would probably be something that I think we'll just kind of hang on to in

01:14our heads of, okay, when next time Nick Dunlap wins, we can refer back to that

01:19Thursday round at Augusta National.

01:21Well, no, I think, I mean, the crazy thing about that is you think of all the

01:24different ways you can be in the spotlight, you know, with a part of your game at

01:29a professional level malfunctioning, and the one that feels the most glaring and

01:32obvious is putting.

01:33You know, we've talked about that with Scotty and others the last couple years, but

01:36really, I can't think of anything scarier as a pro golfer than not being able to

01:43know where it's going off the tee.

01:44Like, that is a much more severe situation than not being able to get in the hole,

01:48right?

01:48I mean, because you're just, you know, every, every single hole you're playing

01:51behind.

01:52Do you want to talk to a guy that knows?

01:54Because do you want to...

01:56It's supposed to be a tee-up for you.

01:57Okay.

01:58Like, I didn't know if...

01:59It's a tee-up.

02:00Yeah.

02:01I can provide a little insight here if you'd like me to, or you could just ponder,

02:05you know, either or.

02:08I mean, I'd say, well, I've seen it.

02:11I've all seen what happens after it.

02:12And that part's the best part of it.

02:15You know, I've seen some amazing escape shots.

02:16It's fun for you, too.

02:17It's not fun for making a living.

02:20That's why we're in the YouTube game now, which is a great place to be.

02:24Yeah.

02:25I mean, I think you have on here, like, some notes about Rory, which I love.

02:27Like, just people forget Rory started out Saturday with six straight threes.

02:31I mean...

02:32I forgot.

02:32Didn't you forget?

02:33I was sitting in the press building, which is like, by the way, you know, if we're talking

02:39about things we love, you know, now that we're Big J journalists, we're emerging on the golf

02:44scene as Big J journalists, like, that press building is just unbelievable second to none.

02:50It's like, you know, stadium seating back to front with this beautiful view of the range

02:53and the murmurs, like, just the outright gasps as we're watching every new score fall on his

03:01card as he's making threes, that was a pretty electric day.
