We’re at finals baby what you mean dog we’re living life high on the hog don’t matter what happens bfl or wi top five in ties and you’re on the Big Boy tour which is what you dream of what’s the last name board b o a r d is he uh new guy or

Not yes sir like a piece of wood Dylan yes sir yeah Dylan good to see yes sir pleasure marus Marcus are you good is good to meet you nice to meet you you haven’t played here have you no no first time it looks amazing write your name on

Here first and last yes ma’am you’ll hold it for the first picture okay you want me to face in a certain direction okay so credential for the week parking pass for B course yardage books for B course thank you so much there you go grew up in Jacksonville so I mean we had

Like Junior events here played Canada back we were a lot of priv here played a lot then s Country Club not so much but here it’s it’s definitely more of a kind of a home field advantage playing probably as much as I have growing up around here you

Dream of like rolling up and cameras rolling it may not be for the players but I mean it’s as close as I’ve come yet so yeah it’s pretty sick should try not to roope hook blast one off house well if you do today it’s completely fine yeah that’s true how you do it

Today I’m going to be fired up yeah this yeah the walking up to the clubhouse and checking in and there was cool to say the least and that’s left I’m out my for is how far into the right you know how much space we have this is D we can see

Them I got to get a haircut today they don’t have it at the they got a little they got a little Barbie Here I think they do huh way yeah it was 133 that was kind of like a shot that we were hitting on the Range obviously it’s the biggest week of

The year for guys who AR on the PJ tour you know you get four rounds to pretty much make or break your career I wouldn’t say break but you got four rounds to pretty much change your life keep leaving getting short go get left go get left dude can’t even hit ball

First down oh no oh no it’s all guy so George played with him a couple weeks ago at second stage and he was hyping him up to be the greatest golfer he’s ever seen his entire life what I saw today was Zero birdies D in our game no he had a birdie

Did he he birdie number eight part five turned into a par 4 and he’s still birdie oh I forgot after a pretty bad t- shot do it come on ni shot all I thought that was going to spin back a bit so did I that was money like he’s got like LeBron esque

Upside whereas I think you and I have like Delante West upside well played well enjo this week another chunk at least it’s not off the planet still kind of emotional you just reflect onto that interview and it’s still a tear jerker for me it was my last

Chance so crazy it was the last bullet in the chamber so to get uh to get this opportunity is just unbelievable next it was so emotional just in the sense that I mean you just have a chance at something you dream your whole life for you know

It’s just like still really hasn’t set in the only thing that’s really been on my mind this is the first year in a while that top five and TI gets a PJ tour cart so you know as far as I can remember my goal has been to pay on the

PJ tour so you know that’s kind of where my hopes are my eyes are set on for this week played really well on the apj tour the last two years and got me some opportunities to play on the PGA tour and that’s what I feel like uh has

Probably been the most the highlight of my life up to this point ah it’s too deep that’s 40 easily 40 this my third time going to Q school cuz I’d never had the money never had the money to do it consistently and to get make it this far

That’s why it was so emotional I had a lot of people ask me like what the last bullet in the chamber meant I gave myself a timeline if I’m not on corn fairy or the PJ Tour by the time I’m 29 or 30 and I just turned 30 this year

Then I’m done like I’m giving myself that time crunch like I’m giving myself that and then it’s time to you know move on start a family you know continue life in another Direction it’s a dream come true man being from Jacksonville like it’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to

Do is competing the players I know that sounds weird everyone like dreams about playing the Masters and trust me I do but with the players being my backyard like it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do was drive up this drive and just represent Jacksonville the best way I can um and

This is the closest thing I’ve done to it God’s blessed me with some great people around me and God’s blessed me with being able to do this right here drive up to this Clubhouse represent Jacksonville and my family the best way I can and I mean all you can do is

Smile this is pretty sick you know just pulling up to your home Club another day in the life I don’t know this still wild it’s just like wesi Bandits dude better I know it’s just wild what you do for you for two iron two iron I need around this place yeah

That’s I I would think so you my three IR yeah and then have a look at that perfect yeah and you like this this works well I like it I haven’t so I just got this scent and it worked kind of I haven’t been like fitted for anything

Yet so I’m not I don’t know what works the best but what doesn’t work have you loosened up hit balls done anything yet I’ll do that now so once you go ahead and do that I’ll spec both these out I’ll get this one to match up to that

And I’d like to see before we just build a two iron and just don’t know if we’re going to hit it let’s see if this shaft is any better let’s see if you have in better control and all that stuff and then from there we’ll we’ll build something up to iron okay

Right I mean great launch spins exactly what a three should do little all the time a bit more consistent but yeah and is that a positive in your sense because you know that if it’s going to this it’s going to go the one way yeah I’ll start building

It up and um should be done by time you get back from that’s where they used to play The Players the same same lineup long time ago East West same lineup way harder I have a feeling well one of the days it’s supposed to be like 25 22 to

45 actually on Thursday yeah there’s yeah Thursday is supposed to be kind of gross and to be quite honest with you if you draw this place this place is going to be brutal it’s like so whatever send it I don’t care send it good one there D shanking chips golly what is going

On I think it’s fairly fixable I think a lot of it’s just like you know this is a little new in the sense that like on Fresh territories I feel like I’m like I’m rushing myself a little when I don’t really need to that’s why Eric’s here to make sure that

I don’t cuz if I was on my own right now I’d be stressed to the max I going to say that’s a good move right there dude yeah going in there see it ain’t that hard see it’s not that hard same guy overthinking there’s nobody else out

Here oh yeah you can take a gander in the bag what are you talking about your boy’s got some old janky clubs brother that good Marcus bird was like dude what is going on with these clubs this sh you like three wood or two r with this wi right here I like three

Wood Three Wood I just I definitely think it’s driver no just with I like 3ood yeah 191 to clear that corner yeah i’ be lucky if that just went 191 I think I heard his some path though it’s a sick new building how you doing Justin feeling Bo

Gym at least five out of the seven days whether it’s PT whether it’s just stretching whether it’s working out it’s important to put your body through these type of movements every morning every night that look good though look at them Stripes out there Pro it’s going to be a windy couple days

Africa basically living on a cliff the golf course I’m playing on in Pinnacle so it’s high up exposed so um yeah I’ve been exposed to it my whole life and um gotten used to it gotten around how to play with it play through it play

Against it so um yeah I don’t mind it too much but um it gets tough when it’s on a on a good golf course it could be your friend or it could be your enemy got the whole green for yourself huh yeah the tne just something off the

Tea little bit bigger this probably the first time I’ve looked at something this big so um but it’s really good off the tea it’s brilliant just goes pretty straight basic shots don’t try and manipulate it too much just play it how it’s meant to be played and yeah with wi

To make it professionally in the game of golf or in golf he’s one of those guys that has lived in his car you know he stayed on Friends couches from time to time he’s given everything he can to try and make it professionally praise God I think he was super excited for me

With this wind it was just tough being up first off in the morning kind of helped a little bit with that as well but um yeah I the first few holes just to get momentum going I felt kind of a little bit rush into it I think with

Everyone um I saw some some kind of low scores out there but it’s blowing even harder now so kind of happy we teed off that early got four days I know well don’t cry it’s okay it sucks but it’s okay I know but dead lasts it’s cool we’ll get a we’ll

You’re going to play bad we’re it’s just going to have to hold on if you hit it hard it’s it’s you got room it’s a marathon not a Sprint I just need to keep doing what I’m doing you know putter gets hot and we get a couple nine

Holes where we drop a couple birds and keep it rolling you know we’re right back in it morning morning I’m feeling good got an extra little bit of sleep this morning so yeah looking forward to it today I don’t know if it’s going to rain looks like it might drizzle down a

Little bit might have to change flight flights from Monday to Tuesday grab to I grab one we’re going for most improved today I think we saved um all the birdies for the last 3 days cuz we made zero yesterday morning there guy what’s going on man going to

Putts that you have to you got to see it all the way through don’t give up and um just add them up at the end and see what it is bomb’s away that was crash yeah that was Crush where it middle of the Fairway all right all right thanks for coming

Birdie so close today yeah to being like really good I was really hoping it was firing it would get firing on all it was it was getting closer right swing so we’re back in positions for warning yep after today so good job what was that back there five five yeah yeah it’s just

The one drop one three p you were low around uh on both courses it’s a guy 600 on the other course couple hes left I think the weather a bit different but what was different with your game to be able to turn things around I felt like

That game the confidence to go really low on the back line it’s pretty late already so just get something small and then make something at home and watch a movie Next on the te Marcus bird nice conditions are pretty ideal this morning wind’s not blowing too hard first few

Hes are getable and he got off to a great start you couldn’t ask for better start four in the through three couple good rounds of golf puts him right back up there with a chance to possibly get a PJ tour card but also get even better corn Fairy status shter

Hold your head hold your head yeah you’re on okay 215 to 5 in plus 215 + 2 plus2 for 219 oh Dam be just run keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going yeah that’s obviously having the conf to a card is c

For next year I think that helps a ton like I don’t even know where I’m sitting out now scoring wise on the leader board but I think we still going to have to play well got off to a hot start I was playing really really good golf unfortunately

Just rough finish man bad time for it um today was the day to kind of go out there and move myself off the leaderboard and give myself a chance to be right in Striking Distance for tomorrow but top five is obviously the goal I don’t I didn’t come here to I’ve

Been saying for months now I want to play on the PJ tour that’s my goal I’m not going to sell myself short I got a chance tomorrow to go do it and I’m going to keep grinding until I get there hold umbrella no sir I felt like it was a needed day’s rest
