Um, it’s great to be back, I suppose. I uh I was here a couple of weeks ago. Um, and I was here last year for the first time, but I was here a couple of weeks ago and all the grand sands were up and that’s when like stuff really starts to flow back to you. So, um, it was pretty cool to kind of get that out of the way. Uh, and then I I came up here yesterday, I played nine holes last night and nine this morning and yeah, great memories. Um, and I’m looking forward to the week, but obviously I know, you know, that’s that’s quite a while ago, and no matter what I done then, it doesn’t give me any god-given right to do anything special this week. So, uh, I just need to get my head down on Thursday morning and, um, get after it and see what happens. Okay, great stuff. We’ll go to the floor for questions. Microphone number one. Hey, Shane. Hi. Uh, some brilliant videos, uh, from the night you won in 2019. Uh can you just walk us through that night and the celebrations or what you remember of it? Interesting first question, isn’t it? Here to talk about golf and all anyone wants to talk about is drinking. But um yeah, I celebrated pretty well and uh I was um golf’s a funny game like where you you lose a lot more than you win. And I’ve always been a firm believer that when you win, you need to try and uh celebrate those victories. So I did that that night. Okay, Don in the middle. You’re saying that over the last five, six years, you guys have become really close and easy to really admire the way you’re able to separate your life from it. What do you admire most about? Um, I think his constant work ethic. Uh I think um and yeah, we have become quite close over the last number of years and I think it’s helped both of us. Um I think I help him but he helps me as well. I think um I’ve certainly feel like I’ve learned a lot from his work ethic and how I apply myself to the game now. um you know we spend a lot of time together and just uh you know you you go where we live in Florida like we all like there’s a lot of players live there and you go to the range and there’s never a day goes by where you get there and some of the top players in the world are not there so you’re like well if if all these guys are here you know we need to be doing it as well so it’s uh yeah I I think my biggest thing for him is how much you know he’s done everything there is to do in the game like he he finished that in April and uh you know his constant drive to get better every day is um admirable. Yeah. And then as a quick follow just going off the question before there does seem to be sort of narrative out there being stronger and bigger. Yeah. Uh, are you over it or? Ah, look, I let people believe what they want to believe and I just kind of do my own thing and uh the people close to me know what I’m like and uh don’t get me wrong, I I do enjoy it from time to time, but I know when uh when I need to put my head down and work um I know when I need to do that. You can’t be, you know, at the top level of any sport uh you know, if you’re not applying yourself well. And I feel like I do it. All right. All right. All right.
