Very very cool for for Steph joerger to take down in the same group as Scotty Sheffer and and take him down now I’m totally with you Patrick Scotty gave him all the B I mean countless bones in this tournament I don’t even know how to say that a bag of
Bones gave him every opportunity um but Stephen joerger was he met business today he came out of the gate with the game face on I hit made a sweet birdie at four after the after the birdie at five um answered the Bell after making bogy at seven with birdies
At eight and nine the shot at nine was just awesome and on the back nine he played some really smart golfs he didn’t make any any bogeys didn’t make any birdies either uh but he was he was Rock Solid he looked confident he looked like he it looked like he felt like he
Belongs which I I thought was really impressive a really impressive demeanor when everything is when it’s chaos all around him Stephen dieger wasn’t going anywhere and and he he put up a number that was hard to beat and apparently it was too much for Scotty sheffler the six
Time winner on the corn fairy tour is now a winner on the PGA tour it was a Sunday 67 three under four under on the front nine no I lied three under on the front nine and as Greg mentioned Patrick nine straight pars to get this thing
Done that includes uh yanking One Way left on 16 the par five and having to punch it out and then uh make a three from 107 yards away it was all business he had just a perfect demeaner until the second that putt slid by on on 18 and
Then you finally saw an ounce of emotion from Steven Jagger and he was uh quite chatty and quite happy I’m happy for him yeah I’m happy for him too and uh the biggest part of that one was probably number 13 sheffler in there tight around
11 feet Jagger uh out of the rough hits his long faces like a 20ish footer for par knocks it in seemed like that easily could have been a two- shot swing in this golf tournament is very different but they walk off that hole with the same score and
I’m always uh appreciative I guess I’m not even sure if that’s the correct word but uh I I love when guys kind of see a deficiency in their game and they do something about it and for Stephen joerger he was just not a good driver of
The golf ball he was short off the te and he was inaccurate off the te and we saw him this week he ranked I mean fourth in driving distance today 12th overall uh his average Drive was 313 it was 325 today day and it’s a lot of hard
Work and it kind of you have to look yourself in the mirror to admit you have a deficiency in your game when let’s be honest most of these guys on the PGA tour are delusional you you think you’re the best player in the world most of the
Time uh so it’s really cool to see someone like him who found so much success on the corn fairy tour I think the experience at the Farmers Insurance open did a lot for him this week you look at the leaderboard it was I mean they’re pretty similar to leaderboards
With dri up there uh F now as well and so I’m real happy for him and I I have to get a shout out to the uh the co-op Frozen Ros in Charleston South Carolina hopefully it’s free for the rest of the week I’m not too sure I’m pretty sure
The owner lives around the block for me I might go uh to knock on his door leave him leave him some chocolates or something they have a a gotti Bronco with the co-op logo on it that’s always parked outside so have to get a shout
Out to them uh since they got some good air time today uh there’s also one in Vegas there’s one in Resorts World so I don’t know how many locations there are of the who there is one in so it’s actually pretty cool so it’s in Resorts
World it’s right by the entrance to the Hilton and so there’s a front door to it but the back door opens up to the poker room so you can actually like it almost like Services the poker room as a fro SL eery and then also serves like Hotel guests
Please throw them out this is what you were just talking about Patrick uh 2018 2019 in 2018 his Club head speed is 113 miles an hour he’s 106th in Strokes gain off the te in 19 114 Club head speed 151st Strokes gain off the T barely play
It in 20 and 21 so in 22 114 mph a club head speed 18 4th in Strokes gain off the te 2023 last year 116 in club head speed 39th Strokes gain off the te now up to 11 18.65 24th in Strokes gain off the te entering this event that’s uh about four
Miles an hour five miles an hour really impressive Improvement and all of a sudden you’re up there with you’re you’re keeping up with Scotty sheffler you’re in the same neighborhood and and that’s an area of weakness that is no longer preventing you from contending preventing you from winning it’s it’s
Really cool yeah and Greg we we talk about this a lot on Mondays I mean he has just been he’s been so consistently good and now we’re now we’re getting the fruits of this labor that he has put in with this victory yeah the um the old
Line what’s the win Equity like that was a big question with him earlier the year we asked it a lot we found because it didn’t seem like because of this Improvement off the te there wasn’t really a lever to pull like Tony feno very clear there’s a there’s one lever
To pull Scotty sheffler there was one lever to pull and you pull that lever and the floodgates open with joerger he did everything so well there it was kind of hard to figure out what needs to improve to to cross the finish line and it turns out nothing did he just had to
Keep playing perhaps it’s something in his mind believing in it something along those lines because all of a sudden you have two top three finishes this year and now a win and that’s a that’s a huge difference from what we saw all of last year and and early this
Year I thought you’re did I cut you off earlier Patrick did you want to jump in on something uh I don’t think so I will say Not only was he keeping up with Scotti though he he was blowing it past him yeah he was he was hitting second into
Every Green it was always Scotty first it’s a good point the co-op has a sandwich on their menu fresh housemade egg salad Sprouts served on toasted wheat it is called the Masters which is probably a copyright issue and that is exactly where Stephen joerger is headed so congratulations
Stephen Jagger first PGA Tour Victory and going it up in Augustin National in two weeks
