i know we would have been there no doubt she didn’t We didn’t get our passport oh really take us through the uh the hole in one yeah that was fun i watched two really good shots right in front of me and so kind of I think it kind of opened the green up a little bit yeah I kind of had a good idea how far I was playing being the last guy to hit so but you still got to execute the shot and I What was the club in in shot shape yeah it was 199 yards a little bit of help win so I hit an eight iron and we’re just trying to pitch it like 190 192 right in there and um obviously I hit it perfect how about the timing chasing the cut yeah I know that’s what it was uh it was really timely and uh I think that’s why I reacted the way I did it was I needed something to go my way i was leaking oil kind of coming in and um really shooting myself in the foot on any chance to play the weekend so it was a huge shot at at the right moment what’s the value having two more days ahead of next week yeah 100% that’s uh that’s the big thing for me and it’s the reason uh I’m actually here this week i wasn’t plann to to play in this event but uh my game doesn’t feel as sharp as it needs to be I feel to to play well at Augusta so I’m here and happy to get two more rounds in what would you like to tighten up over Saturday and Sunday i actually hit it pretty nicely i just I hit I made two squirly swings at the wrong time on the back and ended up leading me down this bogey train um but overall just happy to have two more rounds to um to play competitively and uh and just to and just to compete awesome all good thanks
