okay everybody let’s welcome both our team and individual Champion Legion 13 we are joined by Kieran Vincent our Captain John ROM our winner trell Hatton t with two RS and two L’s and Caleb serat welcome guys where John Legion was able to secure this Victory today you guys shot a collective 40 under five shots ahead of Crushers GC it was obviously a battle out there tell me how excited you are to be taking home your third team trophy as Captain very very excited uh some of the guys just heard it right now but uh I would think I was telling Jeff or GM somebody earlier on the week that I didn’t think this was particularly a golf course setup suited for for our team not not that we can but so far the two wins that we had were on the two more challenging golf courses being mayakoba and and dado so those birdie fist type events so far hadn’t been our thing and of course after I say that it happens that that we end up with a win and luckily this time we didn’t stress down the stretch with uh with mistakes you know uh my mistake on Dubai on on Dural Juan and Caleb having a mishap in mayakoba right we secured the lead and that was never a stress so it was nice to at least walk down the last few holes or at least the last hole knowing that it was pretty much down it’s never safe but um very proud of everybody and and of course Tio I mean what a week to to get his first win in a few years and win by six in an absolutely dominant performance the way he did uh it was absolutely incredible so I couldn’t be happier for him tal a dominant performance I think that is the best way to describe this week you shot 19 under cumulatively six shots ahead of second place Sam horfield you looked like you just owned the golf course out there this week did it feel that way for you uh noish um yeah it it was still like in in my head it was stressful um you know there was early in the back nine um ended up holding a really good powerart on 10 I hit it in the bunker off the tea and I mean these guys know but like I’m internally screaming in Fairway bunkers I I either fat it or knife it and I knifed it over the back um so then obviously chipped on to like six feet and have a sort of downhill left to right which isn’t a nice part to have and holding that um was really nice um and then the pass a on 13 as well obviously I run my first part quite far past and managed to roll that one in so that I feel like that was a key moment for me um and then after 15 I kind of I guess I enjoyed it a little bit more so you had a commander lead pretty much all day were you leaderboard watching and did you ever feel today hey I’m safe I’ve got this I’m good or were you still felt like you had a battle out there um no I mean I I kind of I was in between I was trying to avoid leaderboards and then I kind of wanted to see uh what was going on um and yeah I mean when I got to the I think it was 17th green I I looked at that and I think it was a five shot lead at that point and had a sort of 10 12T birdie part whatever it was um yeah I mean it was it was nice to to play the last few holes and it not be super tight uh I guess having not won for three and a half years it it feels you wonder if you You’ be able to do it again in in some way so I was happy that I’d sort of proved to myself um and especially like bouncing back after the disappointment of last Sunday um where that was that was going to be a really important day for me and I struggled the way I did um so to to put that behind me and to come out here and play like I did and certainly how I puted this week certainly won me the golf tournament does this give you extra momentum and confidence heading into the open in just a couple of weeks uh to be honest no uh we we’ve got two weeks off so I’m gonna enjoy my time back in England and uh we’ve got a little our little lad Guinness golf tour in in Ireland uh the week before vama so you know a nice to have a bit of downtime um and then yeah it’s just a case of trying to get ready for vower armor and and then take some momentum into the open Caleb this was a HomeTown week for you how sweet is it to have a team win in front of all your friends and family in your home state I mean it’s just awesome um you know I think a year ago today I never would have guessed that i’ would be here this week playing this week and let alone winning um so it’s pretty crazy turn that my life’s taken and uh couldn’t be more thankful for all the support and and the platform to be out here it’s been amazing and uh looking forward to the future Karen this is your third victory for the team um just tell me a little bit about how this team gels and what makes it click so much I mean look at us we basically like family we all look the same we like ident iCal no I think it’s a it’s a good mix of everything we have here I think we have a lot of good humor um tur especially um and I think it’s just a a great light-hearted but at the same time we we know when business is and we know when to to get serious and obviously we showed it out in the golf course throughout the last three days but um you know I think there’s there’s still more in us I think there’s still that hunger there’s still that that want there’s still like there’s not a a job that’s that’s quite finished but you know obviously I couldn’t thank these guys to my left anymore like obviously Caleb coming out in front of his home crowd and still not having his best stuff but still beating half the field I think is just shows what a caliber player of his he is and obviously Turell um I think most of us wanted this win for Turell uh more than I think he might not even he might have I think he’s one of the best players both on and off the course and I think this just shows um the men’s talent that He has um combined with um just the nice guy that he is off the field as well and obviously John you know with probably half a foot you know still being able to um dominate the way that he does um I mean he was walking around in hokers this week you’re not you’re not going to see that very often so um so yeah we we’re just super grateful um for this team and obviously the hard work that goes on behind the scenes um you know to to allow us to be out here and play free golf and so we’re just super grateful everybody and yeah obviously this team is um is what we are almost family yeah John last one for me is this win slightly better sweet obviously the team won your best friend won and you were battling it at the end I know you wanted that win is it a little bit better sweet for you yeah there is a little bit of that feeling uh individually you want to do well you want to win but I would have needed a very impressive round today to get it done right so I think even if I had very similar game to what I did yesterday maybe it would have been more enticing down the stretch but I still would have fallen two three shots behind so I think it would have been nearly impossible to catch him this week um it’s easier to focus on my short comments this week had four penalty Strokes right uh one out of bounds and three balls in hazards that’s what I’m going to be focusing on more than anything uh he earned this win he deserved his win and so I’m going to focus on how well we did as a team and uh and carry on with that knowing that we have a couple weeks off and then we’re going to Spain and playing Bama it’s definitely a week that I want to do well on excellent let Mike ask a few tarot of your 11 professional wins this is obviously the biggest margin of Victory do you do you feel like this is your most dominant performance as a pro or you’ve been going farther back into Juniors and and those days um I mean h how the score ended up finishing um yeah it seems like it was a a big win but it didn’t feel like it was I had you know when when you’re out there playing like you can’t you can’t switch off so I tried I tried not to like get too far ahead of myself um certainly with not winning for three and a half years you kind of naturally question if you if you can do it again um so I’m I’m just proud of myself to to be able to get through that that and um play the way I did going out with a three- shot lead uh isn’t the isn’t the easiest thing to go out and play with because you know guy’s going to be trying to chase you and I got off to a a nice start and that that settled me down but um I think my first win on the DP World Tour um at St Andrews in the dhill links I think I won by was it four I was going to say uh five so glad you correct to me um but yeah I mean I guess some of the wins I’ve had have been by a few shots but there it certainly is never easy how long did it take for you to get comfortable with the live environment it’s obviously a lot different than than uh the other tours did it did it take you a trans was there a transition period there for you yeah I think we’re all still kind of working our way through it to be honest um just with our you know warm-up times and when you want to be on the Range sometimes it can be a little bit awkward with the space um and trying to just figure out how to be ready to to go so with it being three rounds like you have to get off to a decent start and you know the standard of golf out here it doesn’t really allow you to to be slow out the blocks to be honest um otherwise you’re always playing catchup I mean thankfully for me this week it was it was my week that I started off pretty quick and um managed to keep going so yeah I think we’re all sort of trying to figure it out still and um but that’s the fun part John can you just talk about the evolution of what you’ve seen from Turell these past few years kind of being alongside him for a lot of pressure pack tournaments Evolution I don’t think it’s changed one bit it’s pretty steady terot uh that’s I think that’s how you can explain it that’s the beauty of it he’s uh he’s a fierce competitor and when he gets up there he’s he’s got that mentality and that intensity that you need to get it done uh actually the know was three and a half years ago that was the last time he won I’m quite surprised because he’s that good a player right uh and his shows cuz when the week gets difficult he’s he’s come through many times right and playing good in the majors when they haven’t been the easiest he’s winning Bay Hill um so obviously we shared some big stages in the rder cup and seen him hit the shots when we needed to make him right so uh yeah exactly just personally hasn’t really changed but I think his game obviously improves slightly and everything right there’s no really any short comments when it comes to to his game he’s good at everything uh he’ll probably tell you there’s a few things he doesn’t like but does just an everyday thing so uh he uh I think today just shows how good he can be right obviously it’s it’s never easy to win and to win by six and three rounds is is quite impressive so Caleb as the kind of the resident country music fan does Terell look the most like a country music star you know so yeah he comes in after the US Open and instead of coming out of the golf course he goes to Downtown Nashville for two days and we’re seeing pictures of him in you know the t-shirt and you know the hat and I I told somebody that like if this guy was walking down downtown Nashville you’d never know he’s a professional golfer so yeah if that answers your question but uh yeah you can pull it off we’ve got to I’m sorry guys we actually have to get them out of here and into shelter and place in the clubhouse I apologize really yeah they just got a message we got to get you guys out of here right now I’m yeah thank you guys congratulations thank you
