i’m just baffled by what happened Like what’s going on Like people are going to speculate about his life I will not do that The man the man’s life’s his own business He mentioned after yesterday like I climbed my Everest and I’m trying to come down the mountain And I I get that Like I in my life haven’t ever nor will I ever have a monumental accomplishment such as that Like finishing off the career grand slam I don’t know what comes afterwards You wonder is it like I don’t have anything to chase I don’t have a hill to climb But that doesn’t to me explain just the fact that he seems his resting posture seems pissed off at everyone Yeah And I just baffled by it because he’s he is I want to I don’t want to say past tense like to me he is such a such a a leader of a tour has been incredibly accountable more than anybody And maybe he just reached the point where he’s like you know what I’m done I’ve done this forever and now I feel like I’ve reached a point where I get to do whatever I want Saying the quiet part out loud like that makes people go “Oh really?” Well that’s an interesting way to frame it Um it’s just he just seems like every he’s mad at everything and everybody Uh and that’s the part I don’t quite get And like not for nothing like the whole LIB thing led to these elevated events and then Jack has an elevated event and he doesn’t go and didn’t call him Like after he sat down with him and they brainstormed how to win Augusta it’s like you don’t call Jack At least that’s the report I got I just that’s just that’s poor form is what that is from a guy that’s pretty much only had in my opinion immaculate form always done and said things that I thought ah that’s that’s well done and now I’m like it’s just it’s odd odd is the only thing I can say I don’t know the source of it I won’t speculate None of my how would I know Just seems like he’s suddenly become a different dude It’s like a heel turn almost Yeah I I and and I you said it with the live thing Funny when the live announcement came where they were going to up the stakes and you tweeted out something about um wait you’re going to you’re going to take the money after you told these guys whatever the whole thing right you you told these guys they couldn’t take the money and you asked for their loyalty then you turned around and took the money from the same people you said they couldn’t take it from that one JJ Spawn retweeted it that day too by the way Oh did he Yeah So I just I got in a wormhole last time you know looking out the spar but I’m like look at that I’m like “All right Spawn was feeling the same thing as Scott was.” No I And I get it Like he I talk about getting up there and taking it Rory took it man He was up there front and center this whole live thing He was the Jon Snow meme or give Is it a meme or a gif I always get God It’s like peepaw vision We know Whatever it is this is our video Memes I think are stills Well the one where Jon Snow pulls out the sword and he’s like I’ll take on all of you That was Rory front and center for the tour And by the way if that if that pissed him off forever like oh wait you’re going to make me do this and then you’re going to turn around and basically stab me in the back Well that would that would have made me mad Yeah So then but what’s made him mad after this Like is it the is it the driver thing at Quail Hollow I went back I watched five interviews after the Masters He started every single one of them with what are you guys going to talk about next year Now you know how that was the leadup and it was his first comment in the in the press center every he did it he did it when he got on the set with the guys Um so I think of that and and him trying to unleash everything he talk about you know the supposed Mount Everest whatever but to be that high and then knowing like there was questions when we were at Quail Hollow How’s he going to respond to this Is he going to put the time And you know the the the the annual grand slam is now available which he never had because he never won Augusta and then the driver thing happens and then it’s silence and then he comes on and he talk he skips jacks He comes out and he talks then he does a scrum Saturday night and you could just tell he’s just got this pissed off vibe to him That’s the thing and it’s short answers and I think the second to la you know um are you upset He’s like no it’s more with you guys Then he elaborated a little bit He’s like not you guys here cuz you could I mean there’s guys from Ireland you could hear the questions with accents the whole thing and he’s like maybe not all of you guys but a b you know some others I think the frust go ahead I’m sorry and then like second to last question which really he’s like uh guy was like the goal for tomorrow and he’s like hopefully it’s four and a half hours I can get the hell out of here Yeah And I’m just like man All right That’s what I’m saying The resting posture is just pissed off And I don’t blame him for being pissed about the whole the way the driver thing came out because it made it seem like and it turned into oh he was cheating at Augusta No he had a driver that he hit a zillion times It got to the point where it was non-conforming and so they said “You can’t hit this driver anymore.” And it also happened to Scotty Sheffler that week and Rory in Canada explained why that bothered him and I don’t blame him but that’s in the past You’re at Oakmont now On we go but he still seems at odds with the with everybody And I don’t know it’s just it’s a curious just a curious sort of demeanor change that feels real abrupt and it’s a real 180
