well there was some winning from a guy who has done a lot of winning this season on the live tour That is Chilean Wen Neman Uh that was impressive Fourth win on the live tour This dude has made 53 mil just in winnings on the live tour since he joined the tour That’s really good He won 4 million total in his career on the PGA tour before he made the switch And I’m sure he made a five to six figure seven or six to seven figure bonus payout when he did switch to live Uh this dude’s he made a good choice He’s winning He’s making money He’s finally competing in a major at the PGA with the eighth place finish and riding playing pretty hot Like four wins this year is nothing to shake a stick at And going to going into Oakmont it’s got to be a good omen for Waqen Neman He’s one of my favorite guys to watch but up until the PGA he had never finished in a top 20 in a major despite how good he is at normal events What What’s your What’s your take on Neman last week in Virginia and going into Oakmont this week yeah we Neman I think I think the one thing you and I have always loved about the guy is he’s he’s got a lot of different shots like got a ton of different shots in the bag Um love the power when he needs it Love the consistency on approach that he has overall Like he’s just he’s a really really talented golfer and he’s probably the I would say the exception of the rule in terms of like staying competitive Yeah Bryson Bryson pushes the envelope with this too But you know I think we not only is playing competitively on live but he’s also coming over and playing competitively in majors Um you know and I I think there’s a lot to be said for that because a lot of those guys have just taken their foot completely off the gas Um and this guy just continues to hone his craft and get better and better every single week And he’s benefiting in the pocketbook by by keeping his foot on the pedal Yeah And I think I think it just goes to the type of player that he is Even when he was on the tour he was the same kind of way Like it was constant improvement constant grinding Um you know we we always thought he was going to be like the next big thing And I I still think that there’s a shot at that if the he 24 24 years old Well and dude if we reintegrate the two leagues or uh yeah the two tours back together at some point here in some capacity even I mean Neiman really can make a run at being one of the best in the world Um and I’m so I’m excited for that I’m excited to see him this week Um you know I think I think one thing that really popped and helped him at the PGA Championship it carried over to Virginia a bit is he uh he’s got he’s got his putter going and the putter typically is kind of that Achilles heel for him Um so I mean he gained almost four strokes at PGA Championship So if he keeps the putter rolling this week carries similar approach numbers I mean Waen’s going to be a force to be reckoned with this week So yeah the only place I’ve seen him really struggle is scrambling on occasion and then short iron approach He’s a really good long iron player We’ve always known that he’s really struggled short iron buckets which there will be a few of at Oakmont Uh he’s he’s actually trending in the top 50 in putting coming in So at least by my my filtered metrics so I’m not worried about his putting at all Uh Nean my only worry about his are his odds which we’ll
