Transcript

Is Hannah Green the True World No. 1?

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hello, welcome back to the Draw Freddy Green Podcast. And we have the same winners that we've had a couple times this year in the game of golf. Hannah Green knows nothing but winning golf tournaments in 2026. It is an absolute crazy run she is on right now.

SPEAKER_01 0:19

Yeah, Hannah Green is probably without a doubt. Oh, she is the best player at women's golf right now. I'm sorry, Nelly Corda, no disrespect. But Hannah Green has won four times this season in two months on two different tours. She won the HSBC Women's World Championship on the LPGA tour beginning of March. Then she won two events in Australia, and then she's won this past week uh on the LPGA tour. And Hannah Green is just she's been on fire and unbeatable. And you the run she went on on the back nine on Sunday to win the golf tournament. She made, I think, four birdies or in five holes or five birdies in six holes, something crazy like that, to kind of start her back nine and then make her way into the playoff where she won on the first hole, was it was very impressive. And Hannah Green is is she's the best player women's golf right now.

SPEAKER_00 1:08

Sorry. No, there's no debate. I mean, it yes, we it we obviously know the Ginos and the Nellies, but you win four times in the matter of two months. Yeah, you are you're the best player for that time and for the foreseeable future. I mean, like you mentioned, she goes five birdies on the back nine to force a playoff. I mean, it's however easy or however hard that course is to shoot five birdies on a nine in a nine-hole span is just top-notch golf. And then I mean, that's the hard part, I guess, but you then you also have to beat two other women in a playoff, which she does. I mean, just because she gets to the playoff doesn't mean she deserves to win, and she wins on the first playoff hole with yet another birdie. Yeah, she's her third win here at the JM Eagle LA Championship. So she likes playing in LA, clearly. She also likes playing in the early months of the season, apparently, because all she does is win. I mean, she gets her second career playoff victory, so that's good. Again, it's I I don't think you can say the other two collapsed because it's just kind of what we saw on the PJ tour early in the year that they played good. They just someone played better than them and chased them down, and it just so happened to be someone who's been on fire the last two months.

SPEAKER_01 2:41

Yeah, I bet when those other two girls then they looked on the leaderboard after the front nine and they saw Hannah Green down there, she shot one over on the front nine. They were like, Wow, we don't have to deal with Hannah Green this week. But you know, they were they were very incorrect, and she comes surging right back up, and then once she gets into the playoff, you've I mean it's gotta be in the back of your mind that this is this is one of the probably the best player in the world, and you gotta go against her uh you know, sudden death playoff. And she makes Bertie, as you mentioned, and it's it's it's so impressive. And I I think I talked talked about it before, but you know, last season she wasn't playing very well towards the end of the year, you know, August, September, and she goes, puts a new putter in the bag. I don't know if this is the same one, and she goes and you know breaks down her swing with her coach, and you know, then she gets the momentum, and now here she is in March and April, and she's won four events.

SPEAKER_00 3:31

Yeah, I mean, even when she isn't winning, I'm looking at her results now. She's made she's made four cuts, and in three of them, she's won two of them, obviously. And then the other one, she has a top ten finish. So it's not like her bad weeks aren't even that bad. And this is the thing we talked about, Scotty for the long time and Nellie and Gino's like, sure, like they may not win every week, but when they're not winning, they're still finishing the top 10. I mean, it's shocking she's only up to eighth in the Rolex rankings, but I guess two of those wins being ladies' European tour wins, I don't know how that really affects those Rolex rankings at all. But heading into the first major this weekend, she probably isn't the betting favorite just because of who Nellie and Gino are, but she's gotta be realistically, if we were listing making a power ranking, she'd be number one on my list.

Matt Fitzpatrick Wins RBC Heritage in Thrilling Fashion

SPEAKER_01 4:30

Yeah, I mean, I'll get into it later on my takes on the major championship this weekend. But yeah, Hannah Green, definitely one of the players to watch this weekend. And I'll get more into that. I have I have some opinions on that.

SPEAKER_00 4:42

Yeah, we'll we'll talk about it here after the this last PJ Tour start, which also went in the playoff, also saw a repeat champion of this event, and now a multiple-time winner this year on the PJ Tour. Matt Fitzpatrick, who moves all the way up to number three in the official World Golf rankings with an absolute just a great round on the back nine. Again, he didn't really lose it. Scotty just chased him. I mean, he hit a bad shot on 18 in the chip, but that four iron he hit on the playoff. I mean, I don't know if you saw it or were watching the tournament at all. I was watching all day. No one was hitting that green. They absolute treacherous pin placement by the greens keeping whoever failed right. Like I mean, front left with the wind coming off the left off the the water there, not many people. I think I saw something like 30% of the field hit the green in regulation. And we saw Gary Woodland hole out from like 200 yards, but with a four-iron to hit that shot to hit it to I think it was 13 feet after making a bogey to effectively almost lose the tournament. I mean, Matt Fitzpatrick is again, we can just like Hannah Green, like she's probably he's probably not the best player in the world right now, but he's that number three ranking is up for grabs, and it it's gotta be him or Cameron Young at this point.

SPEAKER_01 6:09

Yeah, I mean, as you mentioned, Cameron Young and Matthew Fitzpatrick, they've been playing very well this season. They've they've had their chances. Cameron Young won the players. Matthew Fitzpatrick has won twice, Cameron Young and in contention at the Masters. So that number three spot, you'd think that maybe Tommy Fleawood might give it a chance, uh a charge this season, and Xander Shoffley and a couple of those guys. But right now it's been those two guys, and it's been very entertaining to watch. Um, Scotty Shefford did what he does best. He just kind of hangs around and then he just kind of makes his custom slowly, inches his way back up, and then or when he's not winning the tournament by five shots, like he sometimes like he usually is, when he's in that position, he he hung around and Fitzpatrick messed up on the 18th hole, you know, left himself with a long putt after a poor chip. And then just on the on the playoff floor, you see the difference. You know, Fitzpatrick hits it to 11 feet, and Scotty hits probably one of the worst shots I've seen him hit. 20 yards, he was 20 yards closer, if not more. Not not only, I mean, I'm sure he it was a miss hit, but he flares it to the right, he's on the fair way, but he's got a 30-yard pitch shot over the bunker when Fitzpatrick is 11 feet. Like, granted, Scotty hit a great shot, he's an eight feet for for parr. So really nice shot. But you know, Scotty said at the end of the round, like she kind of I mean, it's an excellent excellent hole by Fitzpatrick. You know, not many guys are gonna compete with that kind of shot. And you know, at the end of the day, he played better, and you know, that he deserves to win. He played excellent all week.

SPEAKER_00 7:34

So yeah, I mean, there's so much. I mean, he him winning there for the second time, him growing, going, growing up and going there as a kid from England. Like, this was the family vacation spot he said when he won in 2023. This is like the one tournament he cared to win the most outside of a major, and now he has two. And really, I mean, we got to talk about kind of his journey from where he was last year. Last year, after this event, he was ranked 79th in the world, and it was like, is he gonna make the Ryder Cup team? And around kind of July, he he goes like three straight top tens, with one of them being at the open championship, and he gets playing well, he wins the DP World Tour Championship in a playoff, defeating Rory McElroy. So, in the last, we'll say six months, he's defeated Scotty and Rory in playoffs to win events. Also was really good at the Ryder Cup, finally earned his first points, was one of Europe's better players, and then he lost to Cameron Young at the players' championship, filed that up with a win, and now he had a good showing at the Masters, like again, not the worst, and then comes here. And I mean, it honestly, I thought he was gonna run away with it, and then he just made a whole bunch of pars on the back nine, and Scotty kind of just did what Scotty did. But yeah, it's it's a shocking year turnaround for Matt Sitzpatrick, who I think is of who's one of the best golfers in the world, clearly. And I think I don't know if it was Trevor Imelman or maybe it was Shane Bacon in one of the the post interview or post-round TV shows I was watching, and they go the scary part about this with Fitz is that he's having his worst putting year of his career on the PJ tour right now. Like, he's usually a good putter, and they go, he's not he's not even an average putter right now. Like, how wild is that? I mean, he's won that's crazy, two good events and competed in the players, and isn't doesn't really have his a game, they're saying.

SPEAKER_01 9:40

Yeah, I mean, that's a very scary, scary statistic for the rest of the tour. And I'm gonna be honest, I've I've slept on Matthew's Patrick probably his entire career. I've been I've been sleeping, you know, even though he he's won a major championship, he won the the US Open at the country club, which was very, very difficult course. Him and Will's out tours, and it's crazy, but that was crit aside from that. But like, but I was I've been sleeping on Matthews Patrick. I you know, I think he's I thought he was thought, keyword being thought, thought he was a little overrated, but right now, I mean you have my attention, Matthews Patrick. I, you know, you you've grabbed it, and I I'm excited to see where it goes from here. You know, big things ahead. You got three majors up in the tour season, you know. Maybe it's a little early to maybe no, maybe it's a little early to start talking about that, but you know, it's not out of the question with the level of golf he's playing right now.

Scottie Scheffler Is Still Elite

SPEAKER_00 10:32

Yeah, I mean it it will be tough for him to compete, and I think a ronamink would be hard just because of the distance, but he also doesn't hit it a short way. And again, if he hits four irons like he did in that playoff hole, I I mean he'll be completely fine with whatever. And yeah, I mean, we I want to talk about Scotty real quick, and right for all this nonsense of oh, what's happening to Scotty? What's happening to Scotty? He's finished runner-up the last two events and realistically had a shot to win this tournament, and he just finishes one stroke back. And again, it was the same with the Masters, it's one stroke. And this week he didn't really like right in all of his starts where he's kind of not finished well, he's had one round that really stuck out of like if he just plays average that round, he wins. Like last week at the Masters, he shoots 74 on Friday. Took him kind of out of the tournament. If he shoots an even par round, he wins a tournament, or he shoots one or two under, he wins by three. This week he just he didn't really have one that stuck out. He was for the most part Scotty Scheffler all week, and just his worst shot came on the playoff hole, and Fitzpatrick's best shot came at the playoff hole. And the USA chance I don't know how I feel about it. I I don't think I understand it. Fitz comments were perfect at the end. I don't know if you saw this in the press. He goes, The Americans, I love how patriotic they are, but they must have a short-term memory loss because we won here on October. And I mean, just talk about shutting the fans up, like sure, rub it in, why not? Like, but again, I didn't really understand the chance of USA, but again, I'm sure they I love it. I love it.

SPEAKER_01 12:14

You know, even even though we we did lose in the Ryder Cup, you know, we referring to America, of course. Um, we're still we're not we're you know, we're not giving up. We're getting you know, we're gonna give it to Matthew Fitzpatrick and the rest of the European Ryder Cup team, because you know, there'd be still we're gonna get them back in uh in Ireland in you know a year and a half or yeah, in the year and a half now. So we'll get him back. And um in regards to Scotty Scheffler, I'm gonna be honest, I was a little worried about him because he's he wasn't the golfing robot that I know him to be that I expect him to be. Uh I'm not worried anymore. You know, back back-to-back runner-ups. Um, I'm sure I'm there's there's a win coming in the next few weeks, you know. Everywhere it's very, very predictable Scotty Sheffler win because he's found his game again. It's only a matter of time, he's that good. And yeah, I mean, it's good. I mean, it's a good thing for Scotty Shefford because you know the major season played well at Augusta. You know, yes, going for the career grand slam at the US Open.

Preview and Picks: Zurich Classic of New Orleans

SPEAKER_00 13:14

Uh he'll be the favorite there. I I don't think he'll be the favorite down at Ironamink for the PJ. I think Cam Young will be, but I think Scotty will be the favorite. I think it's Shinnakok this year's, and over at the open, I'd probably go with Rory as the favorite right now, but he's he's again they have another signature event in two weeks down in Miami at Trump derail. It's a tough golf course, from what I know, and he plays tough golf course as well. So, I mean, again, it's if he won in two weeks, wouldn't be shocking. Not at all. I mean, before the PJ Tour heads to Miami, they head to New Orleans for one of the more fun events of the year, the Zurich Classic, and it is the only team format event on the PJ Tour schedule. So, teams of two, they play best ball two of the rounds, and then fours two of the other days. And the defending champs, Andrew Novak, Ben Griffin, they're paired up again. The one shocking pairing that I saw that I was like, oh, that's interesting. Shane, Lowry, and Brooks kept our pair of two, yeah. So Rory, who played in it the last two years, they won two years ago. Him and Lowry. They played last year. I think they finished T12.

SPEAKER_01 14:25

Because Rory played before, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:28

No Rory. And so Shane and Brooks, which I know they're both Florida guys and from that area, and so that makes sense. But again, it's a fun golf tournament to watch. It's some golfers you probably have never heard of, but also some big ones. Again, Shane Lauer and Brooks Kepper are probably the favorites. I don't know. I haven't looked at any of the betting sites and any of that. I would say they're the favorites or Novak and Griffin, who are defending champs. Um, but again, it's a fun, I like the team golf aspect one time of year and kind of gets me excited for the President's Cup and Ryder Cup, whatever that is.

SPEAKER_01 15:05

Yeah, Zerk Classic. It's kind of just one of these fun ones. There, they still, from what I saw, they still award points and obviously money involved and yeah, tournaments. They are playing for something, uh, which is you know, which is nice. But I the team event kind of I don't know if it does it for me, but um, it's still a fun event uh overall. I do have a pick for this week, actually. Uh, I don't know if people care if I have a pick, but I'm still gonna give my pick. Yeah, I want to hear it. So I am actually gonna go with two guys who've played very well this season and kind of underdogs here and seemingly look like fan favorites. So we got Ryan Girard and Siddarshan Yellumaraju. Okay. Uh give me those guys. The team golf events. I feel like it's one of these things that you never know what is going to happen because there's two guys. It's just it's not one of these, like you saw Scotty Sheffield played in the writer cup, you know. That that's completely different circumstances. However, things happen in team golf, so we'll go with those two guys just because they seem really fun. Um big YouTube golfer guys.

SPEAKER_00 16:09

Yeah, I uh this one's tough because uh I'm looking at it like in a lot of the pairings, one player is playing really good right now and one's not. And so that's tough because when you play alternate shot, like that that's a lot on a partner if you're not doing it. I was tempted to go with Matt Fitzpatrick and Alexis Patrick. You know, Alex won on the DP World Tour like three weeks ago, and Matt is, like we said, the one of the best players in the world. I'm going with some young guns though. Michael Brennan and Johnny Kiefer. So Johnny Kiefer was the Cornfair Tour rookie and player of the year last year. He's played well in his first year on the PJ Tour. Michael Brennan won uh was it the Utah Championship event, and he's been okay since winning that, but they both Brennan hits it a long way, and at a course that is very scorable. I think that's gonna help. And I don't know, there's something about kind of young guys going at it for fun, and I don't know, expect them to play well, and they're gonna be my pick again. Will they win? Probably not. I picked Russell Henley last week and he didn't finish well. So but hey, Wind Clark was like top 20.

SPEAKER_01 17:17

Yes, there's that.

Preview and Picks: Volvo China Open

SPEAKER_00 17:19

We didn't wasn't the winner, we don't pick the winners, but so my picks Johnny Kiefer, Michael Brennan. Over on the DP World Tour, we have the Volvo China Open down over in China. Again, not the best field for the DP World Tour. I was actually looking, and a lot of their guys are playing in this PJ Tour event because people need a partner. So you got some like Casey Jarvis, who's won two times on the DP World Tour. He's playing in the Zurich Classic this week. Um, no Patrick Reed, none of the Live guys are in this event. They're probably still in Mexico and Virginia. I mean, that's a whole another story. We can talk about Live in a sec if we want. Um, but again, last season winner, Ash and Wu. He's in the field, he's looking for his third title here in China. Um, Chinese golfer playing in his home country, always has some good mojo, like we say. I'm gonna go with Eugenio Chachara, former Live golfer. He's won on the GP World Tour. He's a really good young golfer. He's from Spain, and they just seem to produce really good golfers all the time. He's played well here to start the year. He did blow a lead like a month and a half ago, he was up for and then kind of threw up all over himself. So I'm a little worried in that aspect, but Eugenio Chachara is my pick this week on a DP World Tour.

SPEAKER_01 18:39

Yeah, uh, so for my pick this week, uh I'm gonna preface this by saying I don't know much about DP World Tour. So uh not that I not that my PGA picks and LPGA picks have been have been spot on, but uh I'm gonna go with guy that's won three times on the DP World Tour, Scottish. We got uh Ewan Ferguson. Uh yeah, he's three DP World Tour wins. Uh his name sounds like Evan Ferguson and Irish striker. So you know, I like that. I thought that was fun. So we'll go with him.

Preview and Picks: The Chevron Championship

SPEAKER_00 19:14

And the big one of this week is the LPJ Tour's first major. All excited about that, the Chevron Championship down at Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston that hosted a PJ Tour event a month ago. So that will be very interesting to see how the women play it compared to the men. But again, with the first major on hand, the best players in the world, all 25 of the top 25 in the Rolex rankings are in the field. You got all the winners from LPG Tour events in the field this week, and you have 11 defending champs of the Chevron Championship in the field as well. So again, it's always a fun week when it's a major week.

SPEAKER_01 19:55

Oh, yeah, major week. First major this season for the LPGA tour. Uh it's the Chevron Championship. So, in my opinion, uh no offense, probably the worst major of the five on the LPGA tour. That however, I'm gonna say I've I'm not saying it's bad, it's but it is gonna be a great tournament to watch. Um, there Mao Sego won last year. It was her first LPGA tour win and first major win. So a bit of a surprise there. A couple surprising major winners on the LPGA tour last season. Um, so in my personal opinion, there are only three players to pick from this week. So I'm sorry, but it's gonna either be Hannah Green, Nelly Corter, Yoju Kim, the hottest players in the world. You've got four wins in Hannah Green. Yoju Kim won back to back. Nellie Corter has won and has two or three runners up. I don't see anyone else. I don't see anyone else winning. I'm sorry. Gino, uh you know, prove me wrong, uh, but I it's gonna be one of those three, and my pick out of those three is gonna be Hannah Green. Um, although I would be surprised if the other two won, as I mentioned, but I think Hannah Green has just been playing on another level this season. Uh lights out, and good luck to anyone else in the field against those three, and Hannah Green.

SPEAKER_00 21:09

How how good is it for the game of women's golf right now that you said there are three winners or three like really top of the notch players in this event? And you didn't even name the world number one. You're like, bro, forget her. She's again, and she's no disrespect, she's a great place, one of the best in the world, but yes, and she's won, she's won this year, but again, like you said, Nelly has been really good to start. High Joe Kim to win back to back, and we've already talked about Hannah Green a bunch on this show, and yeah, it's it's gonna be really interesting. I it like you said, the Chevron Championship. Again, I I don't I'm very curious to see how they make this course a major tournament. And again, obviously they're gonna play differently than the men because they're not hitting it as far and all that, but still just Like the rough and how fast the greens are, and obviously, it's now a month later than when the men were playing it, so I'm sure they can grow out the rough more and they can dry out the greens more and all that stuff to really test these women, which I think will be fun to see. Um, with that being said, you're probably not wrong with those three. It's I it's really hard not to pick Gino, but I'm not going to. Uh, I I'm gonna go with Nellie Corda, who won this event in 2024. I just think she's played really well, she's rested, and there's something about getting that another major title under your belt. And we can talk about Scotty and Rory and all those people who like once you have one, you want more. And for her to not win any last year, I I think the way she's playing, and I think this is a good golf course for her as well. I I don't think it's gonna be too like as she hits it long enough where I think she'll be good compared to maybe some of the other women. But yeah, I I think Nellie Corda will get her second career chevron championship this weekend.

SPEAKER_01 23:10

Would not surprise me if she won. She's she's been on another level this season, so she's hungry.

SPEAKER_00 23:16

I mean, we I I we have to touch on the live news real quick. We won't spend much time on it, but the the rumors are live is shutting down. It will just cut right to the chase. And the rumors from golf digest, golf channel, all different writers is that the Saudi PIF is not gonna fund it anymore come the end of the year, and how are they gonna back this whole league without that money? Who knows? And then in their champ or in their tournament this week down in Mexico City, their broadcast goes haywire for three and a half hours because I guess there's a major power outage in Mexico City, and that caused their broadcast to just shut off for three and a half hours. Again, I don't know what the path is for any of these live golfers to get back on the PJ tour or even the DP World tour with paying all those fines. But if it were to be the last year, I mean what a disappointment. I I get I don't really know what else to say about it. It was like you talked all this talk, and now you're gonna be done after less than five years, and it's just like, what was the point? I I guess it made the PJ Tour better. I guess from where the PJ Tour was four years ago when they started it all compared to now, the PG tour is better, but like what did that do for the people involved in Live and all these players in Live, other than give them massive checks in their pockets?

SPEAKER_01 24:39

Yeah, um, yeah, as you mentioned, it would be a massive disappointment for Live Golf to shut down. Uh, that being said, I don't know if I necessarily believe the rumors that are going on. It you know, I would love heck, I'm not the not the biggest live guy if you know me, but I just don't see something like this shutting down just like that, just out of kind of nowhere. I mean, maybe not out of nowhere because they've been kind of losing traction recently with some of the players, Kepka and Patrick Reed. But I just I don't know if I see this happening with all the money invested, um, all the you know, all the things they've done, and for them to shut down just like that. I don't know if I necessarily you know believe the rumors, but I guess I guess you know, like many things, we'll just have to see what happens because um you know I'm certainly interested, and that's pretty much all I have to say.

SPEAKER_00 25:31

Yeah, I guess we'll just see yeah. I think you're right, is I don't think like we'll get a statement tomorrow or this week saying live is done for the year. I think they'll finish the year and then maybe something will come out of it. But again, that that that's all I really have. Again, like you said, I I don't really care about live. I don't I miss some of the golfers there, but I really don't miss a lot of them. Like, I I don't need to see Jackson Kokrak or Jason Kokrak, whatever his name is, on the PJ tour. I mean, I liked watching Joaquin Neiman and Abe Ancer and John Ron, but like I didn't care for Mark Leishman or Cam Smith or I mean they do have some good young players that would be nice to see play golf and David Puig and Elvis Smiley and some of these other Tom McGibbon from Ireland, like the those are always fun to see, but as far as some of the PJ Tour veteran players, like I I don't I don't need to see Luke Donald and Graham McDowell and Lee Westwood play any more PJ Tour events.

SPEAKER_01 26:31

Sorry, I just I just don't no Kevin Nods is and Ian Twolzer don't move the needle anymore.

Is the PGA Tour Leaving Hawaii?

SPEAKER_00 26:38

No, and that's the thing is like they hitched their way into fading PJ Tour stars in hopes to I don't even know, like get a fan base and just it didn't really work. I mean, yeah, they landed ROM into Shambeau and Smith, and DJ you can say DJ, but it just I don't know. It it doesn't didn't do it for me at all. And maybe it did it for some people, but it's not for me. We do have a little bit of uh sad news here from the PJ Tour. They they announced today we're recording this Monday, so this literally happened about two or three hours before we started recording this. That the PJ Tour is no longer going to Hawaii. So the the Century Tournament Champions and it's Sony open will not be on the PJ Tour schedule next year, which is a bummer. This year they didn't have the century tournament champions just because of the golf course, which then come to find out it was fine to play, but who knows? Again, they had the Sony. I really enjoyed both the tournaments. I I think they were fun to watch. Kapalua was always a cool golf course to watch, and the Sony Open golf course was like again, and it's sad to see some long time PJ Tour events go, especially in Hawaii. I thought it was always cool for them to start in Hawaii and just it's January 1st or January 6th or whatever it is, and I'm here in New York and they're playing in Hawaii. I just was like, you know what, this is fun for me, even though I can't do it. Um, so that that was a little bit of sad news on the PJ tour today.

SPEAKER_01 28:09

Yeah, I'm I'm gonna miss the century. I I know I'm always excited for the first week of golf of the season, and the century you've got, you know, a beautiful course, the beautiful views get the ocean. They're always showing the whales in the ocean and you know, beautiful course, guys from making birdies. Like it's just it's just a fun, good vibe tournament. I know. And other players, I know some players might not miss it too much just because the traveling to Hawaii and you know, that's not very not the easiest. And however, the guys with the money, you know, with the take your take someone with you and have a good time on the beach in Hawaii in January and you know, play some golf too. But uh, yeah, I mean I I'm not really that surprised, you know, after the last couple of years, especially in the fires. Uh yeah, playing one event this year. Not really too too surprised by it, but I'm I am gonna miss it. Uh it's interest it'll be interesting what they what they do. I think they might be doing some more California tournaments, which yeah, they want to start big on the West Coast. Which I just don't really care as much. Uh sorry, but I don't really need to see any more of those those course those tournaments leading up to like you know, like you can only play Tory Pines. You can only play Tory Pines so much, but like Sniper's point, right? It's those crazy, but like play some other like football.

SPEAKER_00 29:28

Is it like Olympic Club out there or where did Speath win his uh US Open in 2016 or wherever? It's up in uh Washington where Chambers Bay, like yeah, sure. If you go up there, like yeah, but I yeah, like you said, I Tory Pines is great. I don't need to see it every year, I don't need to see I don't like uh I like revealing Arizona course, like yeah. So I I don't know again, like go to I'm sure there are cool golf courses in Denver or somewhere in Washington, and I don't know. I I guess there are talks that the Sony Open will maybe turn into a PJ Tour champions event, so it wouldn't go completely gone, it would still hold a champions event, which still cool. It's still good for the state of Hawaii, but it's not the same as hosting a PJ Tour event.

SPEAKER_01 30:15

Yeah. Um I don't the PGA tour Jimmans. I can't say I've ever watched an event on television.

SPEAKER_00 30:21

No, it's just Stuart Stink, PGA uh senior championship winner this week. I know I was I was left the field. I thought I think he shot 63 on Sunday to win his first major on the senior tour. So yeah, don't don't hate on the senior tour.

SPEAKER_01 30:36

I did not watch a single minute of that.

SPEAKER_00 30:38

Um, neither did I, but it just it's it's funny. It's like Swart Stink was literally won the RBC Heritage, I think the year before Fitzpatrick did. So I think he won in 2022, and now four years later, he's on the seniors tour. So it's funny. But again, yeah, PJ Tour tough. But again, this week, all the news is about the Chevron Championship, the first major of the year. Again, I'm excited to see the expanding coverage and see what they have for that. That'll be interesting to see uh what they do for the women's first major of the year and how they broadcast it a little better than normal and all the kind of creative, fun video packages they do leading into and after rounds. We will see you next week again. Go subscribe to us on YouTube, go uh follow us on Instagram. We'll be back. We'll recap the first major of the year. Are you doing uh recaps every day of the major? Do you know yet? Or have you not through that out?

SPEAKER_01 31:32

There will not be any daily recaps, unfortunately, but just the preview and the recap. So stay tuned for that. And then obviously stay tuned for Nathan's free uh recaps of the DP World Tour and the PGA tour this week.

SPEAKER_00 31:46

Yeah. Again, just go go check us out, go read, subscribe, all that good stuff, and we'll be back here next week and we'll recap the first major of the year and the other events around the world and enjoy the women's major this week.
