IT’S BECOMING A DISTRACTION AS WE MUCH CLOSER AND CLOSER TO BETHPAGE, BUT LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS WEEK. I WANT TO MENTION ABOUT THE GENESIS SCOTTISH OPEN, AND A VERY, VERY STRONG FIELD HERE AND THE STRONGEST FIELD ON THE PGA TOUR. WHY HAS THIS WEEK BECOME SUCH A POPULAR STOP FOR NOT ONLY THE PGA TOUR AND FOR DP WORLD PLAYERS AND HOW MUCH DOES THE SCOTTISH OPEN PREPARE NEXT WEEK? >> I THINK IT’S TWOFOLD ON THIS FRONT AND YOU LOOK AT IT SINCE IT BECAME CO-SANCTIONED BIED Y PGA TOUR AND YOU HAVE BOBBY McINTYRE AND ALL NEAT STORIES AND YOU HAVE DRAMA. LOOK AT WHAT RORY DID AGAINST BOBBY McENTIRE. THEY PUT A PLAQUE. YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING PRETTY GOOD TO HAVE A PLAQUE PUT ON A HOLE. YOU GET THE DRAMA AND HOW MUCH IT IS OF INTEREST TO PLAYERS AND THE SECOND PART IS WHAT YOU TOUCHED ON. I DON’T THINK THERE IS A BETTER TOURNAMENT TO PREPARE FOR A MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP THAN THIS WEEK. THE RENAISSANCE CLUB IS NOT A TRUE LINKS COURSE AND THAT’S WHEN MY SCOTTISH FRIENDS WOULD TELL ME THAT YOU DON’T GET THE FULL FEEL OF IT, AND YOU GET THE FEEL OF THE CONDITIONS AND HOW THE BALL WILL BE AFFECT BY THE WIND. WE’LL PROBABLY DEAL WITH A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS WILL GET ACCLIMATED. IF YOU PLAYED WELL HERE AT THE SCOTTISH OPEN, LAV, LOOKING BACK TO LAST YEAR, IT WAS A TWO-HORSE RACE AND IT WAS A TOSS UP AND IT EVENTUALLY WENT SCOTTIE’S RACE. THEN YOU LOOK AT THIS YEAR THAT FEELS LIKE A TWO-HORSE RACE WITH SCOTTIE AND RORY AS WE STAND HERE RIGHT NOW. SHORT SIDES FOR THAT AND THE OPEN THE FOLLOWING WEEK. AS WE STAND HERE RIGHT NOW, LAV, AND I ASK YOU, WHO IS THE PGA TOUR PLAYER OF THE YEAR? >> WOW. THAT’S A GREAT QUESTION. THIS IS FULLY A TOSS-UP, AND I DO THINK, NOT TO BE A COP OUT HERE. I DO THINK THE REMAINING MONTH AND A HALF OF THE PGA TOUR SEASON WILL DETERMINE IT BECAUSE I WOULD SAY THE RESUMES ARE GOING TO BE VERY, VERY CLOSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE TWO PLAYERS. I THINK RIGHT NOW I WOULD PROBABLY GIVE THE EDGE TO McILROY JUST BECAUSE OF THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP AND KEEP IN MIND WITH THE PGA PLAYER OF THE YEAR IS VOTED ON BY THE PGA TOUR PEERS AND THE HISTORIC NATURE OF RORY COMPLETING THE CAREER GRAND SLAM WILL HOLD A LOT OF SWAY WITH HIS PEERS, AND IT WAS THE BEST FOUR MONTHS OF HIS CAREER. RIGHT NOW, IF I HAD TO PICK AND I DON’T BECAUSE IT’S NOT FOR A MONTH AND A HALF, I WOULD TAKE RORY JUST SLIGHTLY. >> TODD, YOU KNOW LAV, NO ONE SITS ON THE FENCE LIKE HIM. I’LL GO WITH SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER AND HE’S BEEN MORE CONSISTENT AND I SEE WHERE LAV IS COMING FROM, AND WE HAVE THE PLAYOFFS NEXT WEEK AT THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP, BUT LAV, MAKE A DECISION, MAN. >> I DID. RORY JUST SLIGHTLY. >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO HERE’S A QUESTION FOR YOU, REX. YOU WON’T TOUCH HAGIS IN SCOTLAND AND WOULD YOU TOUCH PUDDING? >> WAY TO GO, REX! YOU ARE ADVENTUROUS WITH YOUR TASTE BUDS. >> SO ADVENTUROUS.
