#golf #rbcheritage #justinthomas

Welcome back in to CBS Sports HQ. Joe Muso alongside Shane Bacon putting the finishing touches on Sunday at Harbortown where Shane once again the golf was good. Golf was very good. JT bogey free I think which really helps the situation. He even made a bogey when he shot 61 in the opening round. So JT being back sign me up. Good for golf. Thomas back in the winner circle. Show you how. Quite a Sunday at the RBC. He was your 36-hole leader and 18 after that record 61 to start. Thomas did give way to Siw Kim in round three. But JT on the holiday trying to pull off his first win in nearly three years finds himself in a precarious situation here early at the par three fourth next to the bulkhead. The riskreward here Shane. Well, I mean he had a couple of shots like this throughout the week where he was not in position. It happens around this golf course. It’s so tight. The corridors are are as tight as you really see in professional golf. I mean, to be able to even get that on the green and then as I mentioned, no bogeies on the card. How about the save? How good is that? I don’t know if that’s how you draw it up, but Thomas was drawing another par on the card and keeping it on the rails. Shout out to Mr. Dye there against the Bulkhead. World number one Scotty Sheffller was lurking in the final round trying to put something together here on his back nine. Pick him up at the par4 11th from a buck 40 out to 5 ft would get him to 13 under. Very next hole at the par 41 12th if the flat stick’s going Shane kind of felt right now like Scotty might do it. I felt that on 11 last week at the Masters. You know you’re like is he really going to do this? Is he going to chase everybody down? But the cutter cut putter went cold. When they say objects in mirror are closer than they appear. He is the biggest object. Oh yeah. He’s T-Rex in this game. We’ll get back to him in a moment. first your 54hole leader Siw Kim was just stuck in neutral throughout the day. One of three bogeies on the day there at the 12th for Kim who also had a double would shoot three over 74 on Sunday to finish T8. Back to Sheffller at the par five 15th after squandering another birdie opportunity at the 14th. Makeable putt didn’t go and then this one sort of that pull miss that we’ve been talking about but off a precarious lie as well. Yeah, I mean he’s trying to pull off a a miraculous golf shot there. I mean, he knew he needed to make birdie there. If he wasn’t going to birdie there, he’s not going to win. So, I mean, he’s not hitting that shot if he has a two- shot lead. Trevor from the tower said he needed eagle was certainly efforting one from 240, but Sheffller makes double there. Back to Justin Thomas. A birdie putt for a solo lead from 15 ft. And a harbinger of things to come. Pours one in from range. a solo leader at 17 under, but Andrew Novak not going away, seeking his first career PGA Tour win. And we’ve seen firsttime winners here many times before at Harbortown as he gets back to a share of the lead there at 17. A birdie putt of his own at 16. Now to the par4 18th, Novak and Thomas still kned at 17 under JT. A chance for birdie. This bid goes just begging on the right side from 34 ft. But again, great lag from range would tap in from for par. Novak playing in the group behind Thomas. The final pairing needs a birdie now. The task is clear and the shot is great. 147 yds out. You got this for your first career win, Shane. What more could you ask for? How about gap wedge from 147? You think it was jacked up? JT watching on the smallest screen in America to see if this would actually go. And we had a great camera angle. I mean, just straight pull off the blade. You You typically pull putts when you’re nervous, you know, when you’re in uncomfortable situations. The swing goes left, putts go left. And JT’s like, “Yardage book right in the back pocket. Let’s go. Time for more golf.” Back to AT&T for a playoff. A second consecutive playoff here where all the drama of Augusta still lingering in the back of our minds now at Harbortown. Would it be more Novak? After his approach went left, he’d nestle that one up, leaving Justin Thomas 21 ft for his first win in nearly three years. We’ve seen him roll it from range throughout the day. Thomas perfect pace, middle of the middle, a winner once again. And always a flare for the dramatic. Justin Thomas in a playoff takes down Andrew Novak and does it amongst family. His first win as a father. Tears of joy from the family. 17 under and a winner in that first playoff hole. Justin Thomas, it’s great to have you back. A signature event win and one that will imbue plenty of confidence in the now 16 time winner on the PGA Tour. Thomas also becomes our first 18hole leader or co-leader this season to go wireto-wire for a win. They say it’s hard to win on this tour. It’s even harder to put three years to sleep. It’s been nearly three years, but you are once again in the winner circle. The last time you won, Jillian was just a girlfriend. Molly was not here. A lot has changed. Why is this one so emotional for your whole family? Yeah. Um, winning’s hard. It’s really, really hard. But um I’ve I’ve worked my butt off and uh stayed patient, stayed positive, got a great wife, great team, and now a great daughter. Um who’s got her eyeballs showing right now, but uh just take for granted sometimes when you when you get on those runs. And um I just I didn’t realize how much I missed winning. Um and that’s just battling out there today was so much fun. I talked to your dad and I asked him what did he tell you last night and this morning. He said, “I told him just to go out and have fun. He knows how to do this.” You said you had to let this week come to you. It felt like you went out and got it in that moment, but how did you let it come to you? It was a little bit of both. I mean, it just it’s so hard to to force the issue on a course like this. I mean, it’s so firm, so fast. It just was so fun to play. I mean, I’m really really proud of myself today how patient I was and just plotted my way around. And I said to Joe, coming up 18, I was like, I’ve I’ve never made a putt to win a tournament before, like of of length. Um, I’ve been fortunate to have a lot of tap-ins, but I’ve never made a putt. And uh, and that was pretty cool. That was as fun as I thought it would be. Well, that little foot rub to Molly on the way out. You said that was the good luck charm. That worked. Congratulations. Thank you. Ah, what a moment. The emotion in them always inspires emotion in us. And Justin Thomas with this win back on the horse. And on a pretty elite list. 16 or more wins, two or more majors before 32. Palmer, Nicholas Miller, Watson, Woods, Mroy, and now Thomas. Joe Mouso. Pleased to be here post round in studio alongside Shane Bacon. Shane, it’s been three years, but always a flare for the dramatic that Justin Thomas to pour in that putt at the last still a sense of the moment. Yeah, I mean, Justin Thomas now 16 wins, five and two in his career in playoffs. I mean, he’s one of those players that we wanted to see start to do this level of golf. And I think for Justin Thomas, I mean, you think about last week, right? I mean, we weren’t going to get anything better than Rory winning the Masters and completing the career grand slam. But when you talk about bestcase scenarios for this week, signature event, big PJ tournament, JT winning would have been about as high on that list maybe outside of Jordan Speed in terms of the drought and what he’s been able to do with the golf game. I mean, JT’s playing great golf this year. I mean, he’s finished second twice alone. He’s kind of been hanging around, trending in the right direction. The putter starting to show up. And I think when you look at Justin Thomas, it’s always going to come down to the putter. you know, the ball striking’s there. It’s a great golf course for him, but to see him lean on the putter late was great. Considering we’ve got a couple golf courses in terms of major championship venues, I think we’ll play really in his favor this year. Justin Thomas through his 20s, supreme confidence is what comes to mind. And that confidence starts to wne as the clock continues to tick. Not to say that the skill ever eluded him, but to pair skill and confidence once again, it makes him one of the most dangerous guys on the PGA Tour. What does this mean? this win mean for Justin? I think for Justin, I mean, making the big putt, you know, making the putt at 15, making the putt in the playoff. I mean, didn’t hit his best T-shot on the 72nd hole, was able to make par there and kind of give it a run. But I think to pull something like this off for Justin Thomas, I’ve been close. I’m knocking on the door. I’ve given myself opportunities this season. Now, I finally won in dramatic fashion. I think Justin Thomas now looks ahead at the PJ Championship, obviously a major he’s done extremely well at. I think he looks at Oakmont as a venue that he can play around with all those little shots around the greens that you’re going to have to do at the US Open. And then I look at the Open Championship. Kind of the the one major JT is still looking to figure out. I think this is a big year for JT. I think now you’re looking at a third major title for Justin Thomas. And I think now the confidence is going to carry. As you said, this is a guy that has a lot of self-belief and and really looks at himself as one of the best in the world. Now he can say, “I’ve won in 2025. What’s next?” What’s the old adage? You got to see one go in. This is a big one at a signature event that goes in for Justin Thomas. 16 wins in multiple majors before the age of 32. The list goes like this. Palmer, Nicholas, Miller, Watson, Woods, Mroy, and now Thomas. Just goes to show how dominant he was there in his early 20s. On the other side, the agony of defeat, if you will. Andrew Novak has his first career PGA Tour win inside 10 feet there in regulation. And they say it’s hard to win on the PGA Tour. What did you see in that stroke? Not great. I mean, we saw a couple of shaky strokes uh late in the rounds on the PJ tour on this Sunday. Unfortunately, when you look at the other event going on on the PJ tour, not great, but I mean, when you look at Andrew Novak, I mean, he’s finished third at Tory, you know, top 15 at Pebble and the Genesis, T3 at the Valero, and really a few bogeies late there. He almost didn’t get into this event. I mean, he was one of the last players to get a a punch in. I mean, he was looking at playing at Corales. He was committed there. Uh he’s going to look back at the putt and go, “Okay, that’s something I can work on. Not my best stroke.” He he rolled it really well for inside out of five feet. But I mean, it’s just another step in the right direction for a player looking to really win for the first time on any big tour since 2020. I mean, you’re talking 5 years, Joe, since Andrew Novak was a winner, you know, across the big tour. So, again, he’s having a great year. He’s playing some great golf and uh not his best stroke there, but he’s going up against big names in these moments. And when you go up against a Justin Thomas, you got to expect I don’t hit a great iron shot there in the playoff. I’m leaving the door open for Justin Thomas. The week started with that course record tying 61 for Thomas. He finally takes it the distance. We’ve seen him go low so many times before. You’ve you’ve touched the sun a time or two. What’s the difference in going low like that knowing you have that capability and then carrying it for the full four days? It’s very very tough. I mean, when you’re Justin Thomas and you open with 61, had a short short putty missed and made a bogey in that opening round. I mean, you look at the list of of course records that Justin Thomas has in his career. I mean, it is a long long long list. That’s who JT is. And I think you opened it perfectly, Joe, talking about Justin Thomas and the confidence because to go low, you’ve got to have a lot of confidence. You’re kind of grooving. You’re hitting it great. You’re hitting it close. You’re rolling everything in. And for JT, I go back to the putter. This putter is different this year than what we’ve seen in the past. It’s something you and I have talked about on this set with other big names like a Morawa. Just hasn’t really switched. You think about Scotty Sheffler last year, switching putters, and now all of a sudden you’re winning everything. for Justin Thomas to have the confidence now to roll the rock. He can look at that highlight over and over. Again, if he’s in the hunt, let’s say on Saturday and Sunday at the PJ Championship, I made this putt when it mattered. And I think when you look at JT, the lowcoring, the ability to finish this thing off, I’m excited to see it because I was hoping that was going to happen this year for him. It was no bunny from 21 ft there. Your tournament clinching putt for Justin Thomas in a playoff hole. What is it about this place? They say Harbortown, Hilton Head, it’s a place for family. Justin Thomas’ family uh playing witness to once again their loved one in the winner’s circle, but it keeps giving us these playoffs, these massive moments. What of the setup there at the RBC gives us this sort of thing year and year out. Just just got to have elite ball striking. I mean, you think about the and CBS did this unbelievable job that reverse um camera angle with the drone shot. It it really promotes how much you’ve got to move the ball off the tea. I mean, Justin Thomas wins in 2025, right? In a playoff, you had Scotty winning last year. 2023, Matt Fitzpatrick. Really kind of the end of that great run of his over Jordan Speed in a playoff in 2022 is Jordan Speed over Patrick Kentlay. I find me another event that has that lineup of winners and that lineup of characters over the last four years. You’re not going to find one better than this. I just think the golf course, the environment, everybody coming off of a very stressful week at Augusta National. They get to come to a chill place with fam and everybody involved and you’ve got to hit the golf ball very very well. You and I were joking about it like the next winner is going to be Tommy Fleetwood here likely next year. Considering the way he hits the golf ball, it’s a surprise he hasn’t wonatch at this golf course. But uh it’s no shock to me that JT with the way he can move the golf ball off the tea and with those irons is finally victorious at this golf. Tommy Lad once again shouting distance here on a Sunday on the PGA Tour still efingering that first career win. We’re going to take you through thoughts on the entire field. We’ll also take you into the super tower shortly here on CBS Sports HQ. But perhaps a final thought here on the patience and poise that was required of Justin Thomas. I think through his struggles this last few years, maybe when the ball striking wasn’t there, the the patience certainly wore on him. It was required over this final nine holes on Sunday. Where have you seen him grown in that aspect? Oh, I mean I think you nailed it just in terms of the professional patience that it takes. I mean, you know, this could have been another event. He doesn’t win. I mean, Novak makes the 10-footer in regulation and JT watching on that little Michael Scott monitor is going to have to like exit stage left and go, “All right, well, that was another one I came close on.” Now, you win. And I think what it shows is the margin, right? I think we always talk about the margin in professional golf because you can have a great week, you can play great, you can make the big putts, and somebody can beat you. And for Justin Thomas, he can lean on the putt I made in the playoff. And uh all of that work pays off. All the work on the short game, all the focus on what’s not going your way, all the high scores we’ve seen in the majors over the last few years, it’s out the window. And now Justin Thomas goes what, 1,064 days since a victory. Now he’s victorious once again. And for JT, as I’ve said, the lineup for 2025, plays directly into his hands. A look here at the scorecard, not pictured, that birdie at the last from 21 ft, the final blow as Thomas is back in the winner circle. [Music] For more, we take you out to Harbortown where CBS lead golf analyst Trevor Illeman joins us with a final thought. Trevor, from the bulkhead here on Sunday, a ball half submerged on Saturday. A playoff required. The ciruitous route to victory for Thomas. How did he get there? Well, he played some brilliant golf today. Didn’t really put a foot wrong at all. No bogeies on the card. Just kept hanging in there. made the brilliant putt after deciding to lay up at the par 515th to get the birdie, get his nose in front. Novak played some great golf as well to tie it up, but when it came down to the crunch time in the playoff, Justin Thomas delivered with a beautiful putt from 21 ft, breaking left to right, what a beautiful way to get your 16th PGA tour win. And I think beautifully framed by Amanda Post round, now a grown man with a family. the wonderkin that was that rattled off those 15 wins has has certainly grown in age, but also grown back in confidence. What did you take in from Justin Thomas this week and the confidence required and maybe the confidence that he’ll glean from a win like this? Well, look, he’s been playing some much better golf over the last 18 months or so. He’s had a bunch of top three finishes, been knocking on the door, but hasn’t quite been able to get the putter hot enough on the weekend. But this week, he was third in strokes gained putting. So found a little something. Got a tip earlier in the season from Xander Shuffley and that has started paying off. His putting stats have improved dramatically in 2025. And you know with a player of that caliber, I mean we’re talking about a Hall of Fame, multiple major uh type of player here, when they get a sniff, it’s like riding a bike. These guys know exactly what to do. And Justin Thomas imposed himself in that playoff. Great win. He certainly did. And I know each and every year the way it situates after Augusta, we’re we’re looking to catch our breaths and this tournament often leaves us breathless, Trevor. Three of the last four have gone to playoffs. What if Harbor Town keeps giving us this sort of excitement? Yeah, look, it’s a great golf course that has stood the test of time. It’s only around 7,000 yards, which is quite unusual in this day and age with the distance and the technology and how far these guys are hitting it. But because of the narrow corridors and the tiny little greens, you’ve got to be able to work the ball around here. Move the trajectory up and down, left to right, right to left. And so it uh provides some exciting golf for fans. And haven’t we had a blast the last couple weeks? I mean, playoffs in back-to-back weeks. We’re on a nice run right now, Moose. Nobody does it better than our team with golf on CBS. Trevor Illeman. Appreciation as always, my friend. Thank you. What a finish out there at Harbortown. back-to-back weeks now with high-profile champions in a playoff. Yes, a major, a signature event. Now, Justin Thomas puts to rest his own demons. Three years in the making and now making his way to a list of elites only. 16 or more wins and two or more majors before 32. Rarified air for Thomas. Is it the winning putt? Here it comes. Yes, it is. Justin Thomas back in the winner circle. From masterclass to winner circle. An eventful twoe stretch here with golf on CBS. Joe Muso pleased to be alongside Shane Bacon. Shane, a final thought here on Justin Thomas and maybe what this win means cuz you start looking at the comprehensive work sample, 16 wins, two majors. At the age that he is, the sky certainly seems to be the limit. But how do you adjust expectation after a win like this? You know, I compare it a little bit to the conversation following last week with Rory Maroy. I mean, you think about what everybody said after they started to digest what had happened with Rory at Augusta. I mean, it been since 2014 since he’d won a major championship. And I think that the discourse went from he finally got it done to how many more can he win. And I get the same sense now with JT is now you get this victory and you did it in dramatic fashion and you did it with the putter, the one club that’s really been bothering your game the last three years. What can I do now? And I think for JT, he’s going to celebrate this and it’s going to be awesome and it’s going to be a great night tonight. And I guarantee you starting Tuesday or Wednesday, the focus now goes to PJ Championship, US Open, Open Championship. Can I put all these tools to use on the biggest of stages? Because we’ve seen him play great golf this year at the big tournaments. It’s just been up against some of those bad scores. This is the week where the bad score went away. And for JT now, it’s leaning on how high can I get on a golf course that I like. You think about the PJ championship in Quill Hollow. How hot can I get on this golf course and avoid those big numbers we’ve seen. It certainly is another character in this cast that only grows week by week. Our main character coming into the season again shows us that high floor, but the ceiling is not where we’ve expected it to be. And Scotty Sheffler again a top 10 finish here at Harbortown, our defending champion as he was a week ago. It feels like a lot of the same. And when you win a lot, that seems to be the case. I I don’t think pressure has anything to do with his lack of wins this season, but there’s a left miss in play. The putter still continues to elude him. How do you assess his play over these four days? It was fine for Scotty Sheffller. I mean, he had a chance on Sunday to win. I feel like every week we look at this guy and you go, he didn’t win. What went wrong? Oh, he had a chance to win. You kind of forget that he’s on 13t with an opportunity to win. I mean, he goes for the par five out of a fairy bunker. He had one foot in the bunker and one foot out and he’s hitting three iron out of this kind of sketchy lie. But that’s what you get when you’re a superstar is you get opportunity to win and whatever else happens is fine. You look at Scotty’s bad year this year. Eight starts, eight top 25s, now five top 10s and he’s playing poorly. And I think when you think about Scotty, listen, winning at Augusta have been great for Scotty Sheffler. He’d have done something only one other person had ever done in the history of the Masters. But in my opinion for Scotty this year, and I said this before the year started, my focus for Scotty in terms of continuing that trajectory towards greatness is the other three major championships because he hadn’t won one of those yet. Show me something else. Exactly. And I mean, listen, you you take as many green jackets as you can. You take them, put them in the closet, and life is great. But all of this is trending in the direction of Scotty’s got to find his best stuff in the next few weeks. He’s got to play well at the PGA. He’s got to play well at Oakmont. Treeless Oakmont I think plays very much into Scotty’s hands like it does Rory like it does JT and then of course the open championship is a tossup but that’s the focus for me with Scotty is all this stuff pre you know prega is great but I really want to see him play his best stuff starting midMay perhaps the inverse of the seasons we’ve seen before exactly he wins early down the stretch see if he can check some of those boxes he’s he’s loitering always loitering he’s he’s in the neighborhood certainly so and it seems that we just saw it come apart start there. I believe at the 15th hole, the double bogey. It seems that the way he manages misss and manages the error is so much greater than everybody else. He will continue to be in the conversation. Do you want to have the Tommy Fleetwood conversation? I mean, we can because we we alluded to it earlier. If you’re going to make a golf course, if you’re going to create a course for Tommy Fleetwood’s skill set to get that first career win, this is the place. And and this felt like maybe the day in shouting distance heading to the last. Not enough pressure to feel it, but close enough to to put a charge into something. And he gives us what he gave us here on Sunday. Where’s Where’s the lad find one if not here? I mean, I’m I’m right there with you. I mean, it’s a perfect golf course, as you heard Trevor talk a little bit about. Not overly long. You know, Tommy’s not the longest guy out there, but he hits it so flush. And look at the card. I mean, it’s Birdie’s the last, right? I mean, it’s one of those kind of browns. Make your move, Conway. Tommy Flea was like, I’ll birdie the last. Post a number, you know, have another solid finish. But, you know, we’re inching into the Colin McGomery territory with this guy where the talent is there, how good he’s been worldwide is there, how good he is in the team events, just like Colin McGomery, just like certain other players in European golf that couldn’t really get it done on American soil, but could win everywhere else. I mean, Tommy is too good not to have multiple victories on the PGA Tour. And he’s becoming one of those players that seems content finishing fifth, finishing seventh, finishing ninth. Your career is great. Life is great if that’s what you do. But if you’re Tommy Fleetwood, eventually you got to get a victory at a place like this or the Travelers. To me, those are the two golf courses I circle as Tommy Fleetwood territory for a win. Okay, we’ll put him down for some Cromwell Connecticut coming up later this season. See if he can uh put a charge into into the field. I’m also taken off of this Justin Thomas win to what we often look at as his counterpart, maybe not his counterpart, but his good pal and Jordan Speed, who finishes top 20 in this one, I believe T18, a twounder round here on Sunday. We’ve put to rest the the Rory Mroy grand slam chase. We’ve we’ve put to rest the Justin Thomas. Is he back? Is he not? We now go to a PGA championship with the Grand Slam once again at stake. Where are you at on Speed’s game right now and his ability to contend in those types of moments? You know, I mean, it’s just a major that doesn’t fit his game, his modern game that well. I mean, you know, you think about a golf course in Quill Hollow. It’s very long. You’ve got to kind of lean on the driver. Jordan has picked up distance and he’s driving the golf ball a lot better this season than we’ve seen in years past. but just one top 10 at the PGA and that was 2019. Um really since that run we saw him make in 2014 2015. He played okay at Quail last year tied for 29th. I think for Jordan Speed to play well at the PJ championship everything’s got to click. It’s not like I got to show up and putt well or I got hit my irons well. He’s got to drive it great. Irons have got to be 2015 2016 Jordan Speed and the putter has got to be hot. I mean, it’s got to be a perfect storm of stuff like that for Jordan Speed to play well at the PGA, but you know, I mean, we’ve waited for this from Rory for a long time. So, who knows? I mean, he played well with Beth Paige Black. I don’t think that’s a Jordan Speed golf course, per se. So, you know, maybe he continues to trend in this direction and we see something great from him. I’d love to see him just have a chance on Saturday and Sunday at the PGA. Stars must align. Thankfully, a lot of stars have to align. We have some stars here on CBS Sports HQ. We like to say, you watch, you wager, you win. earlier this week. Our betting analyst, Rick Gaiman. Rick, who among the favorites do you like to slip on the plaid jacket at Harbortown this week? I’m looking at Justin Thomas. He’s 18 or 20 to1 depending on where you are looking. And if I were JT’s caddy, I would take his driver on the first te on Thursday. I’d snap it over my leg and say, “You’re just not hitting this here.” And the good news is you don’t have to. You know, this is a very positional golf course where a lot of golfers are going to end up playing these dog legs to the same locations and then basically it becomes an approach contest and that’s where Justin Thomas really thrives. Nobody does it like gaming. Smart guy. He’s a smart guy. How about two gnomes by the way behind him? Two gnomes. Yeah, he’s he’s collecting gnomes. Flexing on two for two on gnomes and one for one on picks here this week. Rick Gaiman always a winner. And if there is a better sales pitch to keep it locked here on HQ all week long, I do not know one. Free money. Thanks, Rick. Appreciate Shane Bacon as well here giving his thoughts on the tail end of another thrilling conclusion at Harbortown. Looking at the road ahead, Golf on CBS rolls on at the Zurich Classic where, you know, we’ll throw the rules, the regulations right into the blender with a team event where Rory Mroy will reemerge alongside Shane Lowry as defending champions at the Zurich. Post round is presented by FedEx, where now meets next. An updated look at your FedEx Cup standings. Following this victory, Justin Thomas vaulting to second in those standings behind only Rory Mroy, who was our lone multi-time winner this season, claiming the three biggest events that we have played. Back in studio alongside Shane Bacon, Joe Muso, your host. Shane, we go Havlin bounceback to Minw’s first to a Harmon sighting to a masterpiece grand slam by Rory to now a JT droughtbreaker. Is this some momentum we’re feeling heading into the meat of the schedule? Need a need a speed win. Needs something from Jordan as we talked about. Love to see it at the PJ Championship. Who are we forgetting here? Scotty. Scotty win the US Open maybe. Um if you’re talking about like a dream year or or maybe Phil Mickelson goes through qualifying and and and has a run at the US Open try to get his career grand slam. But I mean it has been great for golf and and I think the focus that I take away from this run right now is it feels like people like you and I when we’re talking and texting, you know, off camera, we’re talking about golf. We’re talking about the tournaments and the finishes and the way guys are able to close things out and that feels pretty new over the last couple years. That feels uh exciting for golf fans out there and uh I want more of that in 2025. The play is back in focus and some great champions in focus as well. Shane, thank you.
