all [Music] right everyone Welcome back to the Tea Time tribe We are a group of Florida State University alum who decided to take our group text and turn into this podcast Week in and week out we will talk all things golf from PJ tour events to our own personal experiences As always joined by Ian John Buddy Jordan’s back from his European vacation What’s up what’s up hoping he he threw out the pot a little bit over there Get some international listeners Absolutely Got got to check the analytics They have they do have a lot of signs for their golf courses and I was like kind of you know p poking my head out the window or whatever It’s all private It’s like every single course is private It’s just like behind like a gate that’s behind a hill that’s behind a mountain that’s behind like another gate probably Like you can’t even like get close to it But whoever wanted to listen and understood English I was throwing the Teton tribe around There you go We love it Represent Love to hear that All right Uh we’ll we’ll start off with RBC uh Canadian Open you know preview I guess if you will for US Open this week I think it kind of took a a back a backseat a little bit just cuz all I saw all over the place was just how thick the rough’s going to be at the US Open the green speeds Uh but we’ll talk about a little bit and then we’ll get over to the to the US Open at Oakmont Um we did have some extra golf this weekend I think it was four four holes he went Kind of feel a little little sad for Sam Burns He had that nasty lip out I think it was on the first hole right i don’t feel bad for him I don’t feel bad for him at all Dang dude You’re I mean you What is he he was number one They number one on tour for putting What What are you doing man you’re missing five footers What are you doing yeah I saw that I saw that I saw that stat too And I’ll score it I was like you don’t think of him as like a good putter He’s you know number one on the tour right now in strokes game putting I had no clue Yeah Yep Yep The minute they said that I’m like “All right he’s he’s got no chance of winning this He There’s no way he’s making this putt There’s no chance he’s winning this playoff.” Uh but it just it’s another it’s another week I I I feel like a broken record Just a broken week Another week of Scotty just not dominating If if this was Scotty number one it wouldn’t have been a playoff Number two if it was a playoff he would have finished it in the first hole Like there’s there’s no chance There’s no chance either of these guys are putting up a fight So I don’t know No I I I will say it was fun watching them hit the same almost the identical shots for four four back-to-back playoff holes other than other than the last one Fox put it to what did he put it to like 8 feet and then blew it like four feet by Hey Deron A little bit of adrenaline running I like his pace of play though I will say that both of them have fast pace of play So they make quick work of those four playoff holes Yeah this is a petition to have them be the first group out on Thursday to open up them two and find another third is just just quick It’s going to make the most random three ball um that you can find just to make sure that we’re not backed up because you know that’s that’s absolutely going to happen this weekend I’m not looking forward to six hour rounds at Oakmont especially with that rough They’re just going to be like club switching the speed on the green and everything We’ll get to that later obviously Um yeah it was kind of I mean Ian said it was just kind of a one say it was a sleepy tournament Um there were some insane scores on Thursday I think there were 261s on Thursday Um so people got off to a real fast start softer conditions It firmed up over the weekend so that scores kind of evened out Um but yeah Sam Burns from uh from the Clouds on Sunday with that 62 and getting that playoff Um a lot of big names are in contention His boy Shane Lowry Ludvig was hanging around a little bit Um so it could have been you know a top 20 guy Um coming out but another you know Shane Lowry close but not good enough finish this weekend and even said it in his Instagram post He was just like “Yep another a disappointing finish.” Yeah I felt that way about our boy nap time you know on he closed really strong on Saturday put himself in a position to win the tournament and just did nothing on Sunday Really kind of just fell flat on Sunday And I think kind of you know like you said John a sleepy tournament but I think part of that was I mean Rory right just miscut for Rory not there on the weekend Kind of crazy that he didn’t even make the cut But you talked about those pace of play and those two guys going out Just quick side story So when I was searching for my first real job I took an internship at a junior golf tour Shout out Hurricane Junior Golf Tour SJGT and pace of play was like the the big thing that we always had to like tell the kids And we had these two guys go out first like you know the 7 a.m tea time going over the ground rules before we even said anything to them These these 10 however old they were they just turned around to us They’re like you don’t got to worry about pace of play We’re going to [ __ ] run this course 10 year olds Okay And like the whole time like we you know we had this stupid like earpiece and we’re like you know group one is minus three you know just like that’s what I just it’s like ingrained in my head of like every single time someone finished the hole These kids were flying So if you’re out there listening I’m talking about you boys and I hope you’re still doing it But but yeah um back to the Tory Agree with you John A bit of a sleepy tournament for for me The the the the big headline is Rory missing missing the cut And how does that impact him going to the US Open if at all i guess we’ll see Right Speaking about Miss Cuss uh another one for Max Homo Dude is just can’t find it right now Up and down Yeah he’s he just has that turn you know he finished his T20 He’s kind of in contention and then he has a weekend like this Um but yeah back to back to Roy before we move on fully from him I think that was the worst 36 hole finish he’s ever had as a pro I think statistically or just like his finish his finish like he’s never finished worse than like it was like T136 or something was his worst and he I think he was close to to DFL this weekend like he was one over on Thursday four people Yeah Wow Which is just I mean for that kind of tournament I mean I watched a lot of his round on Friday and he didn’t do anything like too egregious It was just like he did a good drive and he get the ball short on the fairway chip it and just miss like it was just bogeies everywhere and every once in a while like a double or triple putt for a double or something like that It was just kind of it was just like he clearly by like whole seven was like gas at the jet I’m going home tonight Like it was just let’s get this over with It was kind of like me at Tatill Um let’s just get through this round Let’s get it over with because Yeah I mean this is a Yeah I don’t know This was a This was a weird weekend for him He’s won there before right yeah I think he has but this this year was at a different um course It was TPC Toronto and they played it previously I forget the name of it It’s a different different course in the area that’s been out for several years I don’t know why they switched this year I think it was like 2019 or something He holds he holds the four four round record Yeah For one of the tournaments But you guys if if you think back after after Augusta I said it could go either way that that he he could he could go into a major slump after this cuz he just doesn’t give a [ __ ] anymore He’s he’s got it He’s got his career grand slam right okay I’m I’m there I’m I’m taking a breather now I’m I’m a dad My marriage is semi not in shambles anymore What What else What else do I have to win unless he thinks that he’s going to break Nicholas’s record for majors He’s already in the top He’s already in the top atmosphere of of all time greats So with all due respect to Roy here let me be very clear If he ever comes on the pot I want to make sure there’s no episodes where I’m not giving him the respect he’s just I think he’s he’s going one of two ways He either either did this because he had to show up right missing two weeks in a row is just for a guy like his caliber you can’t you can’t do that just from a ratings perspective and on top of just wanting to get to to prep or he really is in a slump now and it’s going to be a while before we see him get back to top top four Yeah I mean he alluded it alluded to it too that his he’s not as motivated Um I think before this tournament started he was just like now that I have the grand slam you know my motivations are different coming into tournaments especially one like that where he’s just like if I win I win If I lose I lose You know it’s you we talked about it earlier it’s just kind of going through the motions But I think you know back to your point Ian about which way is it going to go I think a tournament like the US Open it’s the best of the best It’s just a daunting task This course is going to be insane He’s I think he’s going to be obviously motivated for this one you know show up want to win Um you know have the the challenge of uh winning at a course like Oakmont I mean there’s only so many chances in your career you can win a US Open at a place like that And that kind of cements your even more of your role in the history of golf Yeah I I think for for Rory for me I think he he kind of thinks he elevated himself up in that like all-time great category And I think he kind of feels that he committed to this tournament too too early not knowing what was going to happen So he probably felt a little like I wish I could go and prep for the US Open You had some of the bigger names that obviously didn’t play this week but played last week at Memorial I I think it was a little bit of a like god damn it what did I put myself into a week before the major but yeah I mean 7178 for him finishing almost DFL was just even even for a player of his caliber that shouldn’t happen So it it’ll be interesting to see how he how he plays at Oakmont My only thing about you know I think I agree with a lot what you just said but I think like when we’re talking about professional athletes and you kind of talk about in in the NBA a lot where you know you’re in the middle of the season you’re kind of maybe just going through the motions Just a playoff team you know they’re going to be a one two three seed or whatever but they just gota got to make it through the end of the regular season to get to the playoffs And then it’s like well when we get to the playoffs we’re going to turn it on It’s like well I don’t know Are you i think there’s a cons consistency needed in order to be great And you know I think there are similarities to golf with what I just said I don’t know if Rory can just turn it on for 4 days Maybe he can You know you’re saying you know he’s one of the greatest golf players of all time Maybe he can but I like consistency and just be like I committed to this tournament I don’t really care what happens You know next week I’m going to really bring my agame I I think you you put yourself kind of behind the eight-ball with that mentality Before Before we talk too much about Oakmont my my parting thoughts are uh their setup of I don’t want to call it a ripoff but their copy Canada’s copycat of uh of the Waste Management uh part three was was fantastic I loved I love the setup there It was directly downhill I don’t think it at maximum it only played like 130 yards um on Friday or Saturday Super short hole but it was still uh they left the hole exposed So the wind was still a big factor when when the players were playing So you you saw some some weward shots u including Cameron Champ who I may have may or may not have put a late bet in on and he just completely collapsed You know it is it is what it is man That’s the That’s the tea time tribe baby That’s it I did it for the pod Love it Yeah I love the the hockey boards they had there for the little grand team they had That was that was a nice touch That was very very Canadian of them Um and then the the Canadian national anthem when the Canadian player came up on the box I love the only only in Canada What was a a hockey jersey that uh Foxy got for winning some guys wore them on Sunday They put on someone God who was it someone was rocking an Alex Kord uh Lightning jersey I forget who it was but he he got a little bit of booze from the uh the Maple Leaf Sands but hey don’t blame him I mean you guys suck Sorry Colt Colt Nose was uh was just egging people out wearing the Panthers jersey That’s nice for for the bit For the content Did it for the bit Commit Speaking of Panthers Jordan how they doing ecklad just got a penalty because he’s a [ __ ] idiot but we’re still winning Okay So just so you know JC if they score something crazy happens we’ll allow you know sudden burst of emotion we’ll just roll with it If they score you’ll hear it from my wife downstairs and then we’ll all know that they scored Okay If if Edmonson scores we’ll you’ll you’ll hear that as I was going to say your mic and you we you may leave the screen too Go through a throw Quick mute I don’t know what the we we’ve cursed I mean it’s it’ll be fine Yeah we’re classic Comes up JC comes up with some creative names for people That would No that was um the green penis thing is from um Sorry what clip it Clip it Clip it Yeah 21 Drum Street Okay From 21 Drum Street It’s uh The Principal God I’m drawing blanks on all the all my pop culture knowledge right now Roble Rob Wgle Yeah Roble Put your tongue back in your mouth As that guy is put your put your tongue back in your mouth I I don’t like what you do with your touch Uh what has Yeah Who uh who game one that guy was just destroying us It was only right to call him a green penis Bousard Bousard Yeah Jesus Yeah And that McDavid he’s a [ __ ] walk-on man God you can’t be mad at McDavid cuz he’s just so [ __ ] good Yeah Hey no taxes in Florida man That’s right Ripping the koozie right on Q Look at you Well done John The new ones are on the way I’ve got the I’ve got to have 500 of these 250 are the good ones and 250 are these are the bad QR codes so don’t scan it Big X on the bad Be sure to Yeah Uh be sure to blur that out What does it actually go to it goes to It’s called the Tea Time Is it even the actual account mhm It’s a bunch of fat guys in middle of nowhere Illinois posting content So not not too far from what we do but they don’t have they don’t have a podcast It’s just like them videos of themselves I’ll send it in the group or somewhere It was very random I was like they got the first part right They just didn’t finish the handle Want my money back Yeah All right Well moving on to US Open Third major of the season Not surprising of who the favorite is Good old Scotty Uh but before we get to to all of the the bets and top 20s what are everyone’s thoughts on I think it’s a what is it 293 yard par three they have Did you see the clip of uh Colin during one of his practice rounds he was just like “Am I supposed to hit driver here?” Like “What am I supposed to do?” Well today everyone hit driver because they were hitting into the wind It was playing over 300 yards today Everyone hit driver It was like calling It was like every player that I I get what they’re trying to do Sure make it hard but that that’s that’s a little much for me That’s a gimmick That’s that’s a gimmick That’s a gimmick Professional professional golfers we have to have some mercy on them but the toughest test in golf No play it every single day 300 yards Preach Everyone Everyone has to play this hole I know that the wind can be different throughout the day It could be dead in the in the morning It could pick up in the afternoon Whatever Whatever Get over it It’s the hardest test in golf Get over it You’re You’re there Zach Johnson’s not going to be there to complain about the course I’m really disappointed It’s a time timehonored tradition It sometimes doesn’t even make it to Thursday It’s Wednesday He’s already talking about how the course is winning So Zach we’re gonna we’re gonna miss you this year Not because well because of your scores and because of your your complaining The front runner for complaining about the course I’ve decided is our favorite player on the pod Wend Clark I think will be complaining about it Come Thursday whenever he’s done he’s going to be complaining about it He’s already missed the cut He’s already missed the cut That too That too Yeah it’s Yeah it’s Monday at 9:00 Eastern time He is Pack your bags You’re not seeing Saturday brother Head home Okay Yeah I’m I’m I’m I am excited I’m genuinely excited for for this week I from a from a content and media perspective I think this is some of the best pre pre-ournament coverage I’ve I’ve seen in a very long time to get not only golf fans hyped about this but not the rest of the world hyped about it as well Trying to bring everybody in from a social media perspective I don’t I don’t know if you guys have watched the Bryson Bryson breakdown but he’s he’s a he’s an enigma I don’t know It’s just I’m drawn to I’m drawn to that that energy that that he’s kind of bringing to the game and I’m I’m excited to see what he can do out there But uh but yeah the course is I think it rigs from foreplay posted posted something that said that they’re they’re mowing out there today but it’s still it’s still going to be impossible So I think that’s what you said over John Uh but uh other than that I’m I’m stoked They said the rough was going to be like five inches and I think they said the green’s at like 14 and a half or something It was at 16 the other day I saw 16 Yeah Menu posted a video on the putting green today and he tapped it from like 8 feet and it rolled 10 feet past and he just turned looked back at the camera and went like this I mean he just he literally tapped it And I I kind of get it right if you’re All of those guys have brand new equipment on the tour right we were just we were just we were just bitching about somebody watched a video this morning about some guy some jack wagon saying amateur player needs to have three new wedges every year or no three new lob wedges three new lob wedges every year just by itself like [ __ ] off a new gap wedge and a new sand wedge I’m like a year one one to three on your lob wedge to gap wedge Does he think I hit like a hundred lob wedges a round yes Yes Yes he does in this economy Sorry Yeah No no it’s it’s fair John It’s very fair but it places that much more of a of an advantage for hitting fairways But the rough is already going to be tough but a lot of those guys that can hit it that can can and do have that distance can still hit wedges but if you’re not in the fairway you’re not going to get the same spin as if you’re on the fairway right so you can have you can they’re [ __ ] ridiculous But the I think they had the women’s US Open at like a 14 13 or 14 which you saw there what happened and they they’ve got a lower trajectory on their ball flight They can’t hit it that just it’s a f matter of fact on average LPGA versus PGA LPGA hit hit the ball a lower flight than than the PGA tour tour players do If you’re in the fairway you’re gonna be able to spin the ball and there’s gonna be a premium on that hitting into these greens Sorry I didn’t listen to any of that Panthers scored Let’s go Let’s go Panthers Just let let it out Jason I I needed [ __ ] Eblad on the assist It was Nate Schmidt What is Nate Schmidt doing on our power play nate Schmidt hasn’t scored a goal since the Tampa series What the hell now he’s coming out He murdered the Bolts and now he’s he’s back for the finals So anyway go on Anyway sorry sidebar Yeah Ian I totally agree bro Yeah I I mean I was I was looking at it I was thinking you know who where do I lean with my picks obviously you know the US Open it’s all going to be about accuracy right off the tea to start And then obviously kind of how John how you were saying how Min Lui kind of just turned back to the camera was like you know what do I do i just tapped it Well what do you do you you keep the ball in the right plateau you don’t you miss on the right side So just accuracy all over the course for 18 holes for four straight days So who’s you know who’s capable of that who’s going to be most capable of that you know I think a guy like Rory who kind of just sprays his driver all over the place You know I don’t I don’t know how well he’s going to do this weekend You know he’s still one of the best golfers in the world so I’m sure he’s going to be at the top of you know the leaderboard but I’m going to kind of be looking elsewhere say I don’t know this course probably as well as you boys do but as far as length is concerned I think you know the not as long hitters will be okay because if they’re in the fairway they’re going to have an advantage over someone who’s just spraying it and dropping into the rough I mean it almost sounds like if you were in the rough on the wrong hole on the wrong side it’s a stroke It’s just that that’s what it’s going to be I mean you know we the the starters joke you know we someone sent out the the text message saying like “Don’t even try looking for the ball Like just look up and just hit one if you see it cuz it ain’t going to be yours.” We’ll see how true that really comes How really that is you know on Thursday Friday Saturday But yeah I’m with you John I want absolute carnage You know what was it Griffin who said four over he’ll sign his card He’ll take it You know he thinks that’s going to be the winning score You know I’d love to see it I’d love to see it That’s just me Berg what do you think yeah I mean speaking of the the score I know we looked at it earlier I think the overunder right now for the winning score was 278 and a half So we’re calling for basically over under one under which I think we’ve all agreed that something around even par slightly over is like a good championship the memories I have of growing up watching the US Open always seeing like even one under one over like on the top of the leaderboard That’s when you see the best of the best come out that are you know fighting for those pars But I I do agree I think we may see some of the shorter hitters possibly up on the on the leaderboard As as much as length nowadays is like a advantage for some of these people just with the rough and how it is I think it’s going to depend mostly on what the wind is doing on some of these longer par forward I think there was I saw one clip today that some guy was on like a 480 yard hole but he was like it’s probably playing close to like 520 because of the wind And it’s just like like I I can’t even think about hitting or playing a a 500 yard plus par4 So tough And then and then you think about if you get into the rough off the tea on that then what do you I mean that’s almost a bogey right there You’re hitting sandwich out of the rough just to get it back into the fairway It reminds me a lot of winged foot D took my point God uh just from just from the way that they’ve got the rough set up or the the discussions around the rough Heck they even had the head greens keeper talking about not wanting uh not wanting guys to be able to aim uh be happy about hitting into the bunker as well That was another point that I I heard was they don’t uh who’s it uh Harvey Pennik’s Little Red Book I don’t know if you guys have read that before but he talks he’s got uh he’s got a chapter that talks about the best the best players in his day uh when a course was super difficult off the tea they would just aim at bunkers because they were such good bunker players and they knew that the bunker they would have a consistent lie out of the bunker versus being in the rough So they they didn’t want them to be able to do that It’s there’s no there’s no forgiveness It’s carnage Yeah I um I was just looking at the scorecard here You were talking about you know how the wind’s playing Um it’s par 70 so there’s only two par fives Both over 600 Both over 600 Yep Hole four Yep And then hole 12 632 Whole 4 611 So we’ll see how the winds play on those holes But those are you know based off the urges alone Those aren’t ones that you’re necessarily going to go for in two So those are going to be not you know the birdie holes are going to be at a premium this week You know there’s a couple of short par4s We’re going to see where they put the flags I’m sure they’re going to be diabolical but yeah the rough is the rough’s going to be a problem Took my point about wing foot This is giving up big Wingfoot vibes So I went back and kind of looked at 20 that leaderboard You know Bryson won there in 2020 Matt Wolf um I think he came in second You know this this week could be a I know we said you know short hitters are going to have the chance but this could also be a a week um you know 2016 DJ won He’s obviously long hitter Um was able to get it in and up out of the uh out of the rough and and win pretty convincingly I think he won by like two or three that back in 2016 Can see Bryson doing that again this week I saw a couple of his practice holes He filmed them I think last week before he went to the Lib event in Virginia Um and I think he played him even He bogied a holy birdie one He pared one but he hit one of his drives It’s actually the the Holy Birdie It was a shorter par4 He hit it into the rough He only had like 80 or 90 yards and he got to like eight feet and made it for birdie So I’m getting ahead of ourselves here but I like Bryson I like Bryson by like a couple of strokes this week Honestly he’s coming off a good week with Lib and RTJ which is a tough course Hon was there last year so it’s a legit place they’re playing not some uni out in Skoi Illinois where they had their tour championship last year I don’t know I think that this assuming he he’s he’s won it twice so mentally he knows how to win a US Open This is one that he can he can kind of get up and down um based off his length his wedge play Um and I think he knows that you know certain holes you know bogey is going to be a really really good score And you know even if you have a double bogey here and there that’s not going to get you out of this tournament It’s going to be a long four days And he’s done it twice before So Eric I know that your your blood pressure is probably rising at a rapid rate right now but not much That’s where I’m at I was trying to find the mute button just so you didn’t say it Yeah you’re the controller up there You just mute people like Tony Reality and Around the Horn Dang Lose a point 10 10 second mute Yeah great show John you made an interesting point though there though that I think just mentally you know these guys who are the best players in the world will they accept the fact that Bogey is a good scoreer on some of these holes you know I think that’ll be really interesting to see because cuz you’re right on on some of these holes just you know take your five and just move on you know But yeah I guess what I’m curious to see is what name that we’re kind of not expecting like you know we know the usual Scotty Bryson Rory Berg who not in that group that can kind of put themselves in a position is it a a guy like Neman on Liv who’s playing really well is it a guy like Russell Henley who’s just Mr consistent even though he hasn’t really been playing that great again I’m I’m kind of looking for just hit them straight Guys that just really are consistent off the tea good enough putters Can they make a run can they kind of challenge the top players in the world at a course like this i guess the problem is you got to do it for four straight days right mhm But yeah I mean last major you know we were all sitting here saying you know again all like the usual suspects and then Thursday Friday came along and not a single one of those guys was on the leaderboard other than Scotty So I guess my mind is a little bit taking me who can I find with some value that potential to make a run Yeah I’m looking at the the scoreboard from 2016 and DJ W There’s some wild names too Did you know that Jim Furick came in second i don’t remember that That was crazy Yeah he came in second He tied for second Shane Lowry came in second in 2016 Young Shane Lowry Um Sergio he’s not in it Our boy Zack Johnson eight in 2016 So all that all that crying got him the top 10 there Bryson finished T15th as an amateur in 2016 Yeah So there’s a lot of signs pointing to to Bryson Eric you can mute me if you have to Let’s see Brooks Brooks T13 I mean again this is 2016 This is a while ago I that’s another point I wanted to make This US Open screams Brooks Kepka from the clouds Just like Oak Oill back in 2023 when the PGA another tough venue adverse conditions He kind of hung in there got to the weekend and then blew everybody away This is another one of those tournaments where he’s hasn’t done much this year He’s kind of I don’t think he’s he hasn’t really done much on live Hasn’t been a factor in the first two majors this year This is another tough tough course where you know historically he’s thrived and he’s made mention over and over again how he thinks that he his me his mental toughness he’s already beat half the field so this could be another week where you know no one’s talking about him just like in 2023 his last major he can just hang around get to the weekend when it gets really really tough um and he could battle it out so I’m throwing that throwing that name out there I think I think we picking goals Goals Picking Brooks makes such little sense that it might actually make some sense Exactly Exactly I thought you were going somewhere else that Jordan I thought you just I thought you not not net not net zero chance he wins Damn it Well one one thing that I was gonna kind of come back to that you were saying Jordan just of like the the names of people that we’re not talking about In my mind it’s like is it one of those top players in the country right now that we know can get it done but just hasn’t been playing well this season or is it someone that’s like a a Brooks or a DJ that hasn’t been around in the news for years whether they went to live and they’re just not in on the tour anymore or it’s someone that’s just kind of fell off the face of the earth I I could see either one happening Like my initial thought went to Colin I mean he’s he has the potential to do it Will someone like that come to the top i don’t know And then the other thing you were mentioning of like some people need to just realize that bogei is a good score here It’s it’s almost like I feel like the older players kind of understand that in a tournament like this and the younger generation I think are so used to just like birdie birdie birdie I saw one of the guys that qualified for from from US Open qualifying said he was on the uh corn fairy tour and he won a tournament at 30 under So it’s just like those kind of guys that need to shoot 25 30 under to win a corn ferry tour event they’re going to come here I think if they get a bogey or two they’re going to be like “Well I might as well just walk off the course now cuz I have no chance.” Mhm So I can see someone of an older generation from a couple years ago that understands that this is not a 10 or 12 under kind of event Yeah that’s you’re you’re spot on Eric I was actually going in the direction of who are the best which this doesn’t really the odds for these players aren’t aren’t great from a long shot perspective Jordan from a from a great perspective if you’re looking for the more settled player you’re also looking for the more settled caddy So caddy player combos where you know their player gets a little little off keel right that player caddy combo comes very much so more into play similar to these more experienced guys like you were just talking about Eric where you’ve got you’ve got that sense of reason that says you know I think I I can get a I think I can get a six iron out of that take the [ __ ] sandwich out chip it back into the fairway and let’s try to make par the hard way right and if not we get out of here with a bogey versus you hit at 10 yards in front of you with a sixiron and we got to go do it again and fight for double So Mhm I think that’s another direction we can we can look in from a from a betting perspective Yeah Don’t there don’t need to be a hero on every hole Don’t be hero Just exactly take take your licks and you can you can shoot your way out of the tournament on on Thursday that way So just you know stay in it because Lord knows the cut may be at like plus eight or something I mean it could be an insane insane cut line come uh come Friday night Yeah at I’m I’m looking at golf.com right now who are looking at the exempt uh providing the exempt players that got in a name that we haven’t talked about who’s over on live right now who has not been done much this year Cam Smith from talk about from the clout fantastic putter great short game you know if he can keep the ball in the fairway I don’t know he could be he could be a guy that uh I see as a good long shot is it the the US Open that he won and then he bounced to live the Open championship Actually the the three names that are F8 exempt for winners of the Open Championship from 2021 to 2024 Brian Harmon Cam Smith and Colin Morawa Those are the three names from the Open So I don’t know Maybe maybe I’m looking at Sorry go ahead I was going to say I’m looking at the uh past champions of the US Open that are in the field this week and my blood’s boiling a little bit because the last two are just Bryson and Windham It’s just it’s so hard to to to read that right now But but then you got Matty Matty Fitz You got John Rom Bryson from Wingfoot in 2020 and then 2019 US Open champion What a story Gary Woodland Pebble Yeah And then of course you got Brooks who went back to back DJ uh and then following up with Speed Rose Mroy and then the 20 2009 Lucas Glover Lucas Glover Look at JG with the knowledge Lucas Glover man Yeah Mr No gloves link soul golf Lucas Glover himself Yeah I can only admit you talk about a guy who just bangs balls all day without gloves on Those those hands Oh my god Just him and him and talk about and Fred Coubles too I mean dear god Yeah How have your hands not fallen off yet dude the the only thing that I can I will never get this image out of my mind is the amount of swass that that Lucas Glover had when he won that tournament Man he had this massive wet stain going down his pants on Sunday as he went on to win that tournament And it’s just ah it’s just such a bad such a bad look But look a win’s a win It’s all that matters I know we’re going to get to picks and bets here in a minute but just two things that I’m going to throw out there Hard Rock is offering a first round leader top five top 10 top 20 and I see a top five first round leader for Walking Nean at plus 1,000 And I don’t like it I [ __ ] love it I’m like for him to be top five after the first round Top five after the first round Plus 1,000 Don’t like it [ __ ] love it I’m scared of how much I love it and I already bet it The other thing is just because I’m a sucker for this I mean Phil no you’re not No you’re not Get out talked about this is probably his last chance to God Here we go Talk about from the clouds Hey Hey man I don’t know how I feel about Phil but I do think it’d be awesome if he made the cut Um but I am going to bet that he does not make the cut With that being said I’m out Listen for that reason I’m out There is a not% chance we get another guy to complete the career grand slam All right If you’re going to say it you got to say it right It’s a nonzero chance It’s not a nonzero Nonzero chance Yeah Sorry Come on Get it right I throw net in there because it’s a golf term and it makes me sound way smarter than I am but you know whatever We’re just cold too No I I like that I like that top I like him for top 10 at plus 500 too Jordan that’s a that chip in he had yesterday Did y’all see the alternate angle where he’s aimed no I haven’t seen the ultimate They alter like they showed it like behind the hole and he’s aimed like at the grandstand and his back is to the hole and he just like fl and they just rolled in like behind the like the one they’ve been shown is obviously cool but the the other one you’re just like what’s he you’re like you’re just a casual fan out there watching you’re like fearing that he’s going to hit you Um but yeah that was that was an insane chip and he had um that would have been wild if he had won yesterday All right So are we are we even making picks anymore guys we have to We have We have to hit one that we Did anyone hit a Did anyone hit a spear bet while I was out i hit the spear Ian had it Nick Taylor last week I hit one the week prior I believe Yep So we’re one and one I’m over for my life Although Lou I mean Luke Clint was kind of a that was a tossup His first you know first start as a pro I mean I thought did you see the the video of him getting shout out from Jamus i mean how do you how do you not How do you not make the cut after that right i can’t read that Congrats Congrats or I’m not not going to read all that Congrats or I apologize Can’t read it Nick the Nick Taylor top 20 paid out Let’s go Your your bet was free anyways Eric So [ __ ] you I know I wish I would put something better in Well hey win’s a win All right Yeah that’s true Dang it Ian We should have played him for more bets in that that last round at Pineer State We should have let’s not let’s not go there I know No that that was that was the one shining moment the weekend for me So we’re going to talk about it I usually am on the losing end of those matches You got your transfusion at the end there Okay We did Yeah Yeah I had a Now I got the itch more dude Uh I tell you what I I sent you I sent you all that picture I’m [ __ ] right right before I’m about to have a kit Just got the getting the game getting the game together I shot shot 77 on Saturday morning Beat my pops by a couple strokes And uh he said he’s going to have to officially retire now because he’s pissed off at me beating it So can I ask one small favor when Sven wants to retire can he do it live on the podcast here absolutely Absolutely Formally retire Okay Yep Because that will that will bring in some nubbies I feel like I feel like this is like a Michael Scott moment I declare bankruptcy He retires He retires for a day He’s like “All right I’m back.” All right we’re back baby We’re back All right I’m ready if you guys are I am ready I have my Bryson and Window Clark to miss the cut bet in locked and loaded What is that wait are we doing John’s interested wait are we doing specials wait wait Are we doing specials before we before we do uh before we do the spear and try bet let’s Let’s do our bets and then we’ll throw out our random Okay exotics or whatever Let’s start with the tri bet first Hey JC who we going to who we going to box who we going to throw in the trifecta the super effect the pick six That’d be great if we had like a four rounds like a superfecta you know Thursday Friday Saturday JC’s getting the itch She’s like “Oh I’m kicking I’m leading us off here You’re leading.” Yeah You You’ve been gone for two episodes It’s been too long man Too long Oh Jesus No pressure Feel all the pressure All right We’re doing top 20 right mhm All right The theme of of the episode was guys that have we haven’t been talking about I’m going to keep that theme going JT Wow From the clouds Talk about from the clouds I can see him pulling off like a back door top 20 I like it I I do not I could get behind it I can I could be I can get behind it Jordan he’s he if we don’t like JT No stick with it Ne was my other guy No no Stick with it Stick stick Okay As as my dad as as my pops as my pops always says he’s he’s he’s he’s too consistent to not be good At least every now and then right he’s he can’t be bad for this long You can’t be bad for this long All right Harris English from the clouds top 20 Okay Interesting All right He played pretty well at Wingfoot in 2020 course He’s had a couple of good tournaments He finished T10 PGA He’s picking it up a little bit That’s where we’re going with So I like it And I think he’s has he won this year Yeah he won earlier this year So he’s having a decent year And that’s should be a decent you know for the odds You’re welcome I All right I know I’m going to get some hate for this but I think he’s I think he’s primed to play well And if he’s going to lose I’d rather him lose on the try bet than my bet So Jordan I already hate this I don’t like where this is going SPath Jordan Spa Jordan Spa No I I think he’s I think he’s genuinely I thought he was gonna change it Nope Now he’s defending it Thought this was just kidding I think he’s I think he’s genuinely been trending in the right direction The drivers The driver’s in play You can’t be out you can’t be out of bounds on this golf course The guy is a [ __ ] wizard from everywhere Fair I think if Memorial Memorial was any any signs of things to come I think that I think Memorial was a perfect preview of what we’re about to see He’s going to spray it everywhere and he’s going to get up and down from everywhere He’s going low Let’s go Jordan He’s going to triple the first par five Absolutely And then he’s gonna haul out And then he’s gonna haul out Oh my god This is Oh no All right Well I hope we’re wrong I hope we’re all wrong But here’s the thing His His win in 2015 at Chambers Bay was a mirage All right That course was a joke It might as well have been a a putt putt course How firm it was It was what it was like 20 under or something He won It was It’s And what has he done since in US Opens look we don’t talk about the past John We just talk about the future It’s the toughest test It’s the toughest test in golf All right That’s right And he’s he’s an he’s an Augusta guy That’s all he I know He won the British Yep Whatever Yep He’s He’s hit some wild shots I think he’s it Jordan Speed All righty I hate all of my picks That’s the spirit We need that Perfect All right Fade yourself Okay So I’ll give you my second pick then Patrick Rogers Dude he he he finished like T30 in 2016 there I was saying he actually made the cut there in 16 Sea would bet That wouldn’t be a bad bet I just always go back to this guy I I love him Wind of Clark Turtle Hatton I was going to say Turtle Hatton has a joke Hatton I could give you my backup Just giggles What’s your backup brooks I love Hatton so much If it if it’s if it swayes you any with Hatton we’re at 10 bucks to win 407 and then with Brooks we’re at $10 to win 580 I keep that’s John’s face too Yeah know keep all right I have him I have him I have him in my lineup this week too So I’m okay with that It’s a very risky pick It’s it’s probably riskiest pick I’ve had this year in majors because he could make the cut He could finish T20 He could play really well Or he could snap every club in his bag on by Friday He He could be going putter Actually no Putter is probably the first one he snaps He’s probably going to be hitting like a pitching wedge That’s the only club he’s going to have left on Friday He’s going to snap every other one of them Straight That was a roller coaster voice Straight chaos Straight Chow Straight Chow All right Spears I’m going with uh do it because I know Jordan might jump in and take this guy But Hideki another nay from the clouds Hideki Yeah Jordan I’m really torn between a couple of guys here Let’s talk it out This is group therapy Come on Yeah I mean I I’ve already have you know shared my love of Neman Yes Yes you have Go on But I’m looking a little bit further down the list I really like Russell Henley for this tournament I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he’s there But I’m looking a little further down Little wild card actually Keep scrolling I’m scrolling Little wild card Keeping model consistency for the episode Names that we haven’t been saying Nick don’t laugh Nick say Nick Nova Tell me you’re picking Nick Dunlap Justin Rose Rosie Give me Justin Rose Interesting He’s another US Open pass winner So here we go Another tough test I wonder if they have a pass winners bet I’m sure they do Pass winners versus the field Yeah Can one of my guys get a [ __ ] point we interrupt this uh break in the action for Stanley Cup update with Jordan Cole Back to you in studio Jordan 3-1 cats in case you were wondering Damn they’ve got three Look at them All right I’m You know I think if he I can’t go against him I think this is I think this is Ludvig’s type of tournament I think Ludvig Ludvig Ober I can’t can’t do anything else Can’t get away from him I can’t get away from I I know he’s gonna he’s going to break through one of these times and I I think he’s he’s right there in every tournament Holy [ __ ] It’s all right Let it out Just Oilers money line Oilers money line What’s live where are they live come on Berg [ __ ] you Hey JC let let him cook JC Let him cook We need money for the gambling on the the show here Let him cook All right it’s for the show All right It’s a long series Let’s Let’s get through Let’s get through the specials and then we’ll we’ll call it a day Wait what about Berg’s bed berg put your put your bed in I thought I Apologies Apologies You got a bedtime or something come on Disrespect Get your bed in man Yeah I Yeah I do have a bedtime man I’m trying to I got a pregnant wife Come on For God’s sakes not you Tori As Jordan said keeping it on par with the from the clouds someone that we haven’t been talking about recently Love it Stressed Do not Tony Oh okay Good bet Good bet That’s actually That’s the other guy that I had on my list I love it I love it I’m okay with that Yep I’m all right with that He can spray it just chip it back out and [ __ ] hit it again And Sah is out He I think Saha has a bad neck He’s not playing for a while again Yep He’s out Good Okay I know We have to we have to have a side mention every episode Wags The Wags All right So but before we’re done here there is a special for will there be a hole in one no Hold on Yes Yes Is just just north of plus money Hold on I did see DraftKings had one that was will there be three or more hole ones Jesus Christ It is 60 to1 odds right now Might be worth a cup of coffee There is there’s one one part the first part three is 200 yards 289 is the second yeah second one’s 289 all the second one’s 182 and then 236 then the third one is 236 which there is a bet that I could say will there be a hole in one on number eight which is the 289 yard one that’s got to be juicy Yeah there there will be Can I I feel like minus 165 is like the best bet I’ve ever seen for no hole For which one like for no for no hole Yeah minus 165 for no one Ian you got your favorite bet for bonus golf guesses plus 325 As as Brle as Brandley said uh the winning score of this tournament will be whatever Scotty Sheffler shoots So we haven’t talked about him at all but I I guess we’re kind of baiting him Scotty to miss the cut Absolutely not My god What what in the world are you smoking right now E because I want Yeah I’m just saying the rough thick I’m listening The rough is thick with his footwork If it gets a little wet you don’t know what could happen I’m about to do my account on Scotty to win I saw he was minus 1,000 to finish top 20 Jesus Hard Rock has a winner without Scotty option I like it Um all right Winning Bryson at plus 600 is actually pretty juicy Bryson Bryson plus 600 is a very good bet I’m just saying Scotty and Bryson to miss the cut 38 to1 Just throwing it out there We talked about it last time for the PGA That would have almost hit What smoke did I pick for my top 20 bet i already forgot for for for your spear bet No no for our group bet Oh I took JT JT Nice Picked a real schmuck there You picked a real Yeah Sorry JT I take it back Nothing but love Go dogs All right All right All right Winning Winning margin Winning margin One Four shots or more Two shots Playoff for three shots Four plus Four plus I mean John thinks Bryson’s winning by multiple strokes So I did say that I mean Ian we we we talked about this what two or three episodes ago saying how we’re waiting for Scotty to show that domination What’s the chance he comes out and he just pulls a tiger and wins by like eight I would be so erect Please clip that Please 105 Happy first father’s day JC Um God I I really want to fade Scotty I want to fade the crap out of him But man since he start since he turned pro in 20 whatever it was he didn’t make the cut at Pebble in 19 You didn’t play Wingfoot in 2020 Tory Pines T7 Country Club in Boston T2 2023 third at LACC and then last year’s T41 at Pinehurst So he has some success on these tough courses But Oakmont I feel like is in its own tier as far as like US Open courses go Like just tough It’s like Wingfoot and Oakmont I think are like kind of in a league of their own Like historically speaking it’s just been insane scores carnage But I also think Scotty’s probably playing his best golf Like this is probably the best he’s been playing going into a US Open I guess maybe last year Yeah Yeah Yeah But hey five inches says a lot to a man So that’s what she said Hey the rough Come on everyone Get your honest honest to God This is a kids podcast guys Come on What do we think about the odds on Rory to miss the cut don’t What’s a Rory what’s What’s a What’s a Rory Scotty rory Scotty miss parlay Love it 24 to one Throwing Bryson Throwing John Ron God Not gonna lie A Rory Scotty miscut parlay is interesting We’re on to something You guys are crack We’re on to this episode is what we’re on We are Yeah I was about to say we are in the witching hour and we need to get off here soon But let us let us go for just let us keep going Let us cook for one more minute here All right All right Go Still to win Michael Black No Thank god Sorry What was I was going to look something else up Oh Rory Scotty miscut That’s actually not a bad idea I kind of Oh when is Oh when is Scotty team off that’s right I want to see if he’s The morning flight I feel like will be less wind Um and little softer conditions It’s a morning So we’ll see when he tees off on Thursday because this is going to be I mean chat GTP I mean honest to God I don’t care what he teed off at the [ __ ] Masters in the first round Honest to God I need an air that point real bad All right there we go I’m okay with Roy Moy to not make the cut at plus 325 I’m willing to entertain you there You got plus 325 FanDuel’s over here giving me plus 235 Still hate it Hard Rock is just so confused with what to do odds plus 325 to miss the cup There’s like sure damn In 1927 Tommy Armor the first one not Tommy Armor you know 19 or whatever that we have in today’s day and age In 1927 Tommy Armor won the US Open at plus 13 in Oakmont And Hogan won minus five Jack Nicholas minus one minus five Anel Cabrera our favorite former inmate 2007 was plus five Interesting Okay You saying Anhill is your favorite former inmate rather than Scotty i said our our recent former inmate I think we found out at least the things I’ve learned recently is that you got to do 37 months in an Argentinian prison and then you come out and you find your golf game Something about the southern hemisphere I don’t you know also Scotty was never convicted on anything Okay He’s not a felon He was a felon for like an hour Okay Don’t you s his name He had a number He did but he’s never been char he was charged and he was released of all of his charges Cabrera did hard time for tax evasion but it’s neither here nor there I just found a very interesting bet on DK Go on It is saying betting on a player to birdie And it says all par fives in round one Now correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t there only two only two Rory and Scotty are both almost 10 to one to birdie both par fives in the first round I will Venmo you for that action Put Put I I will VMO you I will VMO you $10 right now to do that Actually [ __ ] it I’m just VMOing you right now Like I’m just gonna get you to do it But who do you want you want Scotty or Rory both Yes Yes Yes All the above Can we parlay it is the question oh big brain move Best Where’s Where’s Phil to Birdie both Where’s Phil to win not there Not You can’t bet it You just can’t do it It’s just It’s not possible Nonzero% chance There you go is that he’s gonna win the miss cut Your $20 has just been sent Oh man I can’t bet anymore Thanks Thanks Oh [ __ ] you All right I’ll put 10 on each of those Sweet What an exciting day What i love I love US Open Week It’s going to be great This carnage is going to be incredible Carnage give it to me All right gentlemen I’m going to call it Any last second thoughts go Cats Still 4-1 Still 4-1 Is there a chance there chance next week’s episode you’re saying Florida Panthers are Stanley Cup champions i don’t know because there there’s a lot of days in between games for some reason Player health is so overrated God Yeah that’s probably the reason Come on But the schedule is like the schedule is super weird Um so I don’t know I guess we’ll see if they win the next three games Like I don’t even know like if those three games are within that time window is what I’m trying to say All right Well next week when we talk about Travelers and the KPMG women’s PGA which is being held at PJ Frisco will be interesting to watch that We we will know if Cats are Stanley Cup champions All right Good stuff boys
