1:38

check it out. The hank Any Pockets all right, This

1:40

is the master's

1:42

review. Scottie Scheffler

1:45

wins his second Green jacket,

1:49

the favorite going into the tournament, the

1:51

far and away favorite, not

1:54

even the close favorite, although he became

1:57

I think only the second player that

1:59

was rank number one and favored

2:01

to win the tournament that ended up winning

2:03

it. Many

2:05

have tried. Obviously Tiger

2:08

has done it, but Scotty Scheffler

2:10

does it as well. Fantastic

2:13

win, great champion.

2:16

Kind of a no brainer

2:18

pick as the favorite going in. Of course,

2:21

it's never a no brainer pick picking winners at golf

2:23

tournaments because anything could happen. But

2:26

Scotty Scheffler wins, and he kind

2:28

of wins. He kind of wins going away, which

2:31

it kind of gives the tournament

2:33

a little bit of a downer, if

2:36

you will. I mean, not that he's not a great champion,

2:38

not that he wasn't deserving, but of

2:40

course everybody is hoping. You

2:43

know, I'm not talking to golf fans, and

2:45

I talked to a bunch of them in the last two days,

2:47

and everybody was hoping there would be a little

2:49

bit more drama on the back

2:52

nine on Sunday, which so

2:54

oftener is it Augusta But not this time.

2:57

Scotti Scheffler too much, finishes

2:59

eleven under power beats Ludwig Oberg,

3:03

beats him by

3:05

four shots. Now, Oberg is a twenty

3:07

two year old just turned pro,

3:11

incredible talent, playing in

3:13

his first not only his first

3:15

Masters, his first major championship,

3:18

and he finishes second. Pretty

3:20

unbelievable. But he loses by four

3:23

shots. So it wasn't really like this was I

3:25

mean, Scotti Scheffler was

3:27

challenged to a certain extent. I

3:29

mean, he shot sixty eight the last round. That's

3:32

a great round. Oberg would have had,

3:34

you know, he'd have had to shoot sixty he shot sixty

3:36

nine, He'd have had to shoot sixty

3:39

five the time. That's not probably not going to

3:41

happen. Sunday at Augusta, Fleetwood

3:45

finished four under. He shoots

3:48

sixty nine. He'd have had

3:50

to shoot sixty two on

3:52

Sunday to time, so he was not

3:55

in the golf tournament. Colin Morrikawa

3:57

shoots seventy four on Sunday, he finish

4:00

for under par. He would have had

4:02

to shoot sixty seven, which would have been the low round

4:04

of the day to tie Scheffler and

4:08

Max Homa shoot seventy three, he'd

4:11

have had to shoot

4:13

sixty six to time. So

4:16

a few players could have shot

4:18

the low round of the day, the low

4:20

round of the tournament and

4:23

maybe come up with a tie, but on Sunday

4:25

at Augusta, that's probably not going to happen. So

4:28

the bottom line is it

4:30

wasn't really close. Scheffler

4:33

got off to a little bit of a shaky start,

4:35

although he said he hit some really good shots, it didn't

4:37

turn out great, and then he just started

4:39

hitting great shots and it was a

4:42

ball game over before you know it. Not

4:44

a lot of wind blowing, a lot of wind blown

4:46

during the tournament, only eleven underwins. That's

4:48

a high winning score for Augusta, but

4:51

not a lot of win on Sunday. So

4:53

it really made the tricky

4:57

twelfth hole play incredibly

4:59

easy. When the wind's blowing, it's

5:02

up there in the pines, it's swirling around

5:04

down there at Amen corner, and

5:06

it gets really difficult. You catch a

5:08

bad gust, you mishit it a little bit, and

5:10

next thing you know, you're in the water and the whole tournament

5:12

changes. And think about it. Think about

5:14

how many times you watch some Masters and

5:16

something disasters happens on

5:18

the twelfth hole and it

5:21

didn't really it didn't really happen. And

5:23

on the thirteenth hole they

5:25

lengthened the thirteenth hole. I

5:27

think it made it

5:30

more of a hole where you absolutely

5:32

have to hit a good drive to

5:35

be able to go for it and too, And if you don't hit

5:37

that great drive then you automatically lay up.

5:40

So it seemed like there was less players

5:42

going for it and too, and as a result, maybe

5:46

a fewer disasters there as well.

5:49

Not sure how that worked out. I guess it worked out

5:51

okay, because the holes is

5:53

a great hole. I mean I think that. Like someone asked

5:55

me the other day, what's my favorite hole

5:58

of Augusta. They asked me on Twitter, and I said, nonumber

6:00

thirteen. Number thirteen is

6:02

probably my favorite hole anywhere.

6:05

Forget about Augusta. Forget about it. And

6:07

I don't think it would matter whether

6:09

it was short or long,

6:11

or you lengthened it, or you lengthened it this much

6:14

or you lengthened it that much, It's still going

6:16

to be the greatest hole. If

6:18

it's not in the years past

6:20

a hard part five, well then

6:23

you know, then it's a hard par four and

6:26

it doesn't matter what the par is. It's

6:28

a phenomenal hole. I think

6:30

that the new tea box was worked

6:32

out good. I mean, you know, I mean, probably

6:35

a few too many layups for me the

6:38

first few rounds, but maybe that had to

6:40

do with the wind as much as anything. But

6:43

not a lot of drama on the back nine. And

6:46

Scheffler, you know, deserving. He's the best

6:49

ball striker on tour. It's

6:52

not even particularly close. I

6:54

don't think he's the best

6:56

putter. We know he's not the best putter, but

6:59

he's not a horrible putter, and

7:01

he puts good. At augusta matter of fact, he

7:03

got around there. He got around the Masters

7:06

in two three putts.

7:09

And remember, before this tournament starts,

7:12

I mean, I don't want to say I told you so, but I

7:14

did tell you so. It boils

7:17

down to

7:19

three putting, penalty

7:21

shots and two chips. And

7:24

if you paid close attention to those

7:26

are the three keys to golf eliminating your

7:28

penalty shots, two chips and three putts.

7:30

If you played close attention to those

7:32

three things, they were on full

7:35

display, as they always are they

7:37

are at every golf tournament, but they are particularly

7:40

on display at Augusta. You

7:42

miss greens, you try, you're

7:45

left with a difficult short game shot and

7:47

maybe sometimes you don't get it on the green. You

7:50

chip it over the green, you chip

7:52

it off the green, you leave it

7:55

in the bunker. Calm Morey kind of left it in the bunker

7:57

on number nine. And penalty

7:59

shots are out there at

8:02

Augusta. I mean they're there on the front nine.

8:05

If you hit it in the you know, creek

8:07

on two or the landed in the bushes

8:09

or up against a tree. But

8:12

eleven the water on eleven,

8:14

that Oberg hit it in the water

8:17

there, that was party's over

8:19

for him when he did that. Flashy had

8:21

double bogie right there, essentially

8:23

a two shot penalty hitting it in that lake where

8:25

he did, having to drop where he had to drop.

8:28

And you know he got the penalty shots

8:30

on thirteen, the penalty shots on fifteen,

8:33

A lot of players take them. I mean

8:35

Jordan's Speeth, you know, made a bundle

8:38

at at fifteen and that was that was

8:40

his tournament over before it really started

8:42

for him. It's always the way

8:45

at Augusta. Now, before the tournament, I said,

8:48

if you can keep your three putts to a

8:50

minimum and eliminate

8:53

penalty strokes and the two chips, then

8:55

you have your best chance to win. It's

8:57

always the same formula, the

9:00

penalty the penalty shots at

9:03

Augusta. The two shot penalties

9:05

are tough to overcome. A penalty on if

9:08

you hit in the creek on thirteen off the tee,

9:10

you get to drop it up there. You know, it's

9:12

something you could you can kind of overcome. You

9:15

hit your second shot in the water

9:17

at fifteen, it's really a two shot

9:20

penalty. You got to drop behind the lake, and

9:22

that's going to be a tough one to

9:24

overcome. You're looking at double there.

9:27

You know, a penalty shot at eleven's

9:30

kind of the same thing. Twelve certainly the

9:32

same thing. So penalty shots equal

9:34

double bogies and double bogey's equal not winning

9:36

major championships. And it's one of the things that Steve

9:38

Williams always used to talk about Tiger's

9:41

former caddies that if we just can make

9:43

it through the week, and he was always talking about this at

9:45

major championships. We make it through the week without

9:47

a double bogie, we'll win the tournament.

9:50

And I would always think, you know, three

9:53

puts limit your amount of three putts,

9:55

and you know, Tiger would win the win the tournament.

9:57

This was back in the day. That's all I was

10:00

thinking. And in fact, he would

10:02

have won four or five, maybe

10:05

six Green Jackets during

10:07

the years I coached him two thousand

10:09

and four through twenty ten Masters,

10:12

and he would have won those those Masters

10:15

if he had limited his three putts

10:17

to one or or

10:19

less. And in fact, when he won in twenty

10:21

nineteen, he only had he only

10:24

had one three putt for

10:26

seventy two holes. And that's the formula

10:29

Augusta. Now, now, I measure three

10:31

putts differently than a lot of people

10:33

measure three putts. I measure as

10:35

a three putt. If you use your putter

10:37

from off the green and you

10:40

three putt, I count that as a as a three

10:42

putt. And the reason I do is because every

10:44

player who plays the game would count

10:47

that as a three putt as well. If

10:49

if you are putting from a place

10:51

that everyone in the field would have putted from. In other

10:53

words, if you're a foot off the green at

10:56

Augusta, every player on the field would use

10:58

their putter from there, and every want new

11:00

putts, and if they three putt, they're all going to say

11:02

I three putt it on that hole. Now, let's

11:04

say you're let's say you're ten feet off the green and

11:07

you elect to use a putter, and somebody

11:10

else might use might chip it. They may use

11:12

a sandwich, they may use an eight iron, whatever they may,

11:14

they may chip it. I'm not going to count

11:16

that as a three putt because because you elected

11:18

to putt that one. But if you're putting from

11:20

somewhere where everybody in the field would

11:22

use their putter, then that's a three putt when you

11:24

when you add it up. So

11:27

the three putts that are listed

11:29

at Augusta when they list their statistics, they

11:31

always listen to three putts. They're always misleading

11:34

because because so many shots

11:36

at Augusta, the ball will land

11:38

on the green, it'll roll just off the green. You'll

11:40

be six inches two inches a foot

11:42

off the green, and you're using a putter for

11:44

your next shot, and technically

11:47

it's not a three putt, but we all

11:49

know that it really is. So Scotti Scheffler

11:51

two three putts. He had he

11:53

had one penalty shot, hit

11:56

it in the creek, I think it was on thirteen,

12:00

and then that's no two

12:02

chips. So that's a total of three. Right there,

12:05

he beats Ludwig

12:08

Oberg. He beats him by

12:11

four shots. Oberg one

12:14

three, putt one two

12:16

chip. Remember, Scotty Scheffler

12:19

had a total of three for the

12:21

penalty shots two chips and three puts.

12:23

Oberg five penalty

12:26

shots. Now I count it as

12:28

a penalty shot if you hit it in the

12:30

woods and you got to come out sideways.

12:33

Essentially that is a penalty shot

12:35

because you hit a shot, you took a

12:37

stroke, and you didn't cover any distance. Obviously,

12:40

the water hazard is a penalty shot

12:42

out of bounds of two shot penalty. A

12:44

water hazard where you got to drop it back behind

12:46

the hazard. That's essentially a two shot penalty.

12:49

Lateral water hazard that's a one shot

12:51

penalty, but five penalty shots for Oberg

12:54

one three putt one two chip, that's a total

12:56

of seven, and

12:58

for Scotty Scheffler a total of three.

13:02

And there you go. That is your difference

13:04

in the tournament. A four stroke

13:06

win by Scotty Scheffler due

13:09

to penalty shots, two chips

13:12

and three paces. Oberg has a distance he could

13:14

he could cut that advantage

13:16

down on Scottie Scheffler, but you cannot

13:19

You can't. You cannot have your penalty

13:21

shots, two chips and three putts equaling

13:24

seven seven counted

13:27

seven and winning a

13:30

major championship. It cannot

13:33

and will not happen. Now had

13:35

he not hit it in the water on eleven, and

13:38

you know everybody's like should have, would it could have if he didn't

13:40

hit the water. If

13:42

he doesn't hit the water, his total

13:44

of penalty shots two chips and penalty

13:47

and three putts is five,

13:50

and he still loses, loses by

13:52

two. Five is too big a number. You don't

13:55

You don't win with that, And it's

13:57

amazing how they can bowl down to that. You know,

13:59

you see guys three putt two

14:01

or three times in the opening round, or a three

14:03

putt and a ball in the water, and you know they've

14:06

lost three shots right there, and

14:09

you know the commentators and

14:12

you know the analysts, they'll

14:14

tell you, oh, you know, his score is okay, you

14:16

can still come and then technically can but

14:19

the likelihood is very

14:22

very low that it will happen when you

14:24

when you have those kind of numbers. So you got

14:26

to eliminate the penalty shots, two chips and

14:29

the three putts if you are if

14:31

you are going to gonna win golf to turns, and that's the formula,

14:34

you know. I mean, now you

14:36

got to get the ball up and in, you got to hit

14:38

greens, you got to make putts. I understand, you

14:40

have to do all that stuff. But this

14:43

is the difference every every single single

14:45

time I look at you know, Colin

14:47

Morikawa. He

14:50

his total was was five

14:53

on the penalty shots, two chips and three putts,

14:56

and you know he he loses by

14:58

seven, so he he didn't

15:01

have enough ball striking

15:04

to overcome even that

15:06

amount. Now, I mean, if he'd have played

15:09

a perfect tournament, penalty

15:11

shots, two chips and three butts, absolutely

15:14

clean rarely doesn't happen, but absolutely

15:16

clean it does happen, but rarely. If

15:19

he played a clean tournament, he still

15:21

loses by two shots. And why

15:24

would that be? Because here's

15:26

why that would be. And he pointed this out

15:28

in his interview. He was talking about Scotti Scheffler

15:30

and he said, on one hole, Scotty Scheffler drove

15:32

it twenty five yards by him, which which was pretty

15:35

commonplace. Scheffler's

15:37

a long hitter. Calin Morrikow is not Augusta

15:41

is not a great golf course. For a short

15:43

hitter, a player like Colin Morikawa,

15:46

if he was ever going to win an Augusta, he's

15:48

going to win on a bad weather Augusta.

15:50

This was a bad weather Augusta. It's a low winning

15:52

score. Usually eighteen sixteen something

15:54

like that under bar will win at Augusta.

15:57

But this time it was eleven underbar.

15:59

This is one where you could have somebody

16:01

jump up and win. And actually,

16:04

I mean with except for Scheffler,

16:07

you know, the scores were pretty bunched up, starting

16:09

with Oberg It's at seven hunder part and then

16:11

going back to the guys at four.

16:15

Those two players really separated from the

16:17

field. This was one of those Augustas

16:20

where with the exception of Scottie Scheffler,

16:22

I mean, it was a very it would have been a very high

16:24

winning score. A shorter hitter

16:26

needs that kind of tournament tournament to

16:28

win. You can't give up twenty five yards,

16:30

you know. I always say distance is

16:33

the most important factor in

16:35

golf in determining

16:38

your potential, and

16:40

this goes at every single level. I always

16:42

use the example with amateur golfers. I said,

16:44

you know, you can hit it two hundred yards and you can play

16:46

a nice, nice game of golf, but

16:48

you're never going to be a single digit handicap.

16:51

You can hit it two hundred and fifty yards and you can be,

16:54

you know, a low handicapped golfer, but you're

16:57

not going to be a You're not going to be

16:59

a plus handicap golfer. That's

17:01

not going to happen. You can

17:03

hit it two hundred and seventy five, two hundred and eighty

17:05

yards. You can be a

17:07

really nice college player. You're

17:10

not playing the PGA Tour. You

17:13

could hit it two hundred ninety yards. You can play

17:15

the PGA Tour. You're never dominating the PGA

17:17

Tour. It's not going to happen. Distance determines

17:19

your potential in the game when you're hitting

17:21

it twenty five yards behind it. And Cayl

17:24

morriy Kwa pointed this out. He said, I

17:26

forget what hole they were talking about, but he says,

17:28

Scottie Scheffer's probably hitting an eight iron

17:30

and I was hitting a five iron. And

17:33

no matter how good your iron game is, you

17:35

see when you hit a more lofty

17:37

club, you hit more underneath the ball, and

17:39

when you hit more underneath the ball, you put more

17:41

spin on the ball. When you put more spin on the ball,

17:43

you're going to be more accurate with that shot.

17:46

And you cannot stand back there and hit five

17:48

irons and have everybody else hitting

17:50

eight irons or certain players hitting

17:53

eight irons. And it's the same formula the

17:55

Tiger used all for all those years.

17:58

Nicholas use a formula, Greg Norman use

18:00

the formula. They they all use the formula. That's the

18:02

dominator. Rory McElroy, that's his formula.

18:05

And when you're Scotty Scheffler and you can hit

18:07

it as far as he does, you're in

18:09

in a position where you're

18:12

gonna you're gonna reduce the par of the golf

18:14

course. You reduce the part of

18:16

the golf course because all the par fives

18:19

are available to you. And

18:21

when you're a short hitter, some

18:23

of the par fives may be available

18:26

to you with a long shot in. But

18:29

still, once again, you're hitting a four iron,

18:31

you're hitting a three iron, you're hitting

18:33

a hybrid or a fairway wood, and the other guy's

18:35

hitting a middle iron. It's

18:38

no comparison. And and that

18:40

that that is one of the things that separates

18:44

greatness, I mean absolute, absolute

18:47

greatness. You know, back in the day. You know, you know,

18:49

you think back a few years ago, and and

18:51

and Jordan Speith had an incredible run,

18:54

and and he didn't have that formula.

18:57

And that's why that form that that

18:59

run was destined to

19:02

not be a long run. It just it just can't

19:04

be. Scotty Scheffler has

19:06

the formula for domination

19:09

in today's game. Now what is he dominating.

19:12

He's dominating a

19:14

bunch of players that

19:18

at the current time are

19:21

not are not playing very good. Now on

19:23

the PGA Tour, there's a limited amount of talent

19:25

because half of the talent went to the l I V Tour.

19:29

But even when you look at all the players and

19:31

throw them all together like they did at Augusta,

19:33

there wasn't much happening out there with

19:35

with these great, great players. I

19:38

mean, Rory was not going good before the tournament.

19:42

You know, he wasn't hitting any

19:44

good. He had an emergency lesson out

19:46

in Las Vegas from Butch Harmon, and But's

19:48

the greatest coach has ever lived. I mean his

19:51

record says that, you know, like like like

19:53

my friend Bill Parcell says you are

19:55

what your record says you are, and his record

19:58

says he's the greatest coach ever. But what

20:00

could he do for Rory a week before the Masters.

20:02

He could do what he does best. He could pump

20:05

him up. He could tell him how great

20:07

he was. He could get him to play

20:10

hopefully to his level by

20:12

boosting his confidence with a little

20:14

little mental approach and maybe

20:17

a couple of swing thoughts here or there. But

20:20

Rory hadn't been going good and he didn't

20:22

go He didn't go good at Augusta. You

20:24

know, Kepka hasn't been going good all year

20:27

and he didn't go good at Augusta. And

20:29

he's a major championship player, There's no two

20:31

ways about that. Dustin Johnson

20:34

hadn't been going good this year. He didn't go

20:36

good at Augusta, even though that's a great golf

20:38

course for him. You know, a

20:40

lot of the other guys are a little a little

20:42

too old, and

20:45

you know Phil and Tiger and obviously

20:48

all the injuries that Tiger has, so you

20:50

know those guys are out You know, a

20:52

Bubba Watson plays Augusta great,

20:54

but you know it's he's

20:56

a little past his prime, it seems right now.

20:59

So who who's really out

21:01

there? I mean, you know, when you look at John

21:03

ramann't been playing good this year. This

21:06

is about as easy of

21:08

a major championship win as

21:11

I can remember seeing it. To be honest with you, I

21:13

don't remember seeing an easier I

21:15

mean, I know I only won by four. I

21:18

know it was kind of tight. You know, he only did

21:20

what do you have a one shot lead going into Sunday?

21:23

But boy, oh boy, who do you have a one shot lead

21:26

over? You had a one shot lead over

21:29

you know, a guy that that just

21:31

turned pro playing in

21:34

his first major. Guy played great. There's

21:36

no oberg played great, there's no but but but

21:38

still you know he won't go shoot sixty

21:40

five? Okay?

21:42

Uh?

21:43

You know he had a lead

21:46

over Colin Morrikawa. Colin

21:48

Morrikawa. He hadn't

21:50

been playing any good. I mean, I mean if

21:52

you look at look at his season, I don't know what

21:54

would he He

21:57

had a top ten, one

21:59

top ten at the

22:01

Century Tournament of Champions he finished

22:03

fifth. You know, he missed a couple

22:05

of cuts, you know

22:07

he had he won one time in twenty

22:10

twenty three is at the Zozo.

22:12

I mean he hasn't been going my own admission, he

22:14

hasn't been going great, you

22:16

know, But he didn't win once in twenty twenty.

22:18

He hadn't had a good, good stretch. There's

22:20

no you know, he's talking about how he's wanting to get his

22:23

his game back. Max Homan. This

22:25

was his great major

22:28

finish for him, I think, his best ever, the

22:31

second top ten ever in majors.

22:33

You know, he wasn't going

22:36

good. I mean, you

22:38

know, he finished eighth at the Arnold Palmer. That's

22:40

about the best that he did all year. A

22:43

lot of mediocre finishes, you

22:45

know, just just not a

22:48

lot, not a lot of challengers,

22:50

not a lot of changing. And then and then you take

22:52

the form that Scottie Scheffler was in

22:55

and on a golf course that he's he's very

22:57

good at and with his

23:00

length, and this

23:02

is about this is about as easy as it gets

23:05

for a great, great

23:07

player. I mean, you know, sometimes that happens.

23:10

Sometimes you're going good and nobody

23:12

else is. And then there's other times when you

23:14

know what, you play the round

23:16

of your life, you play the tournament

23:18

of your life, and somebody else

23:21

does the same thing, and

23:23

and and that's why there's a lot of luck involved

23:26

in winning golf tournaments. But when

23:29

you're the best and you play the

23:31

best, and nobody else is even

23:33

really on their game. You

23:36

get a you get a walk away on

23:38

the you know, just a walk in the park on

23:40

the on the on the back nine. And Scottie Scheffler,

23:43

you know, he just he hit shots.

23:46

I mean that the shot that

23:48

sums up the tournament for me

23:50

with him is when

23:53

he knocks it down there

23:55

on uh on fifteen

23:57

I think it was fifteen, And I'm listening

23:59

to the telecast on the Serious Exam

24:02

and Steve Melinick, you know, he's saying, well, you know,

24:04

this is a it's it's a

24:06

it's it's kind of He's two thirty two

24:09

and to the green and you

24:11

think this is kind of touch and go. Should

24:14

he go for it? He's got a big lead, he's got three, so Steve

24:16

Melink says he would lay up well. First

24:18

off, Steve malink was was a

24:20

nice player. He was never a Scotty Scheffler two

24:23

thirty two. The game is different

24:25

today, two thirty two. What do you think

24:27

Scotty Scheffer's hitting downhill

24:30

from two thirty two? Four

24:33

iron five iron?

24:35

I don't know. I mean, he ain't hit much.

24:38

I mean, he just isn't. I mean Scotty

24:40

Scheffer from two thirty two, pumped up

24:42

downhill mayb probably hitting

24:45

a five iron. Maybe he's sitting a

24:47

four iron. He's the best iron

24:49

player in the game. He ain't laying up

24:53

and he ended up hitting in the bunker.

24:56

He got the whole green to work with running

24:58

across the green. The

25:01

surest way to be

25:03

able to make a par is to is

25:06

to get it over the water and

25:08

just send it out there somewhere to the right.

25:11

If it gets in the bunker, fine, and

25:13

then you just knock it on the green

25:15

from there and and and you go

25:18

about your your your business. And

25:19

he did he did that more. Uh.

25:23

You know, when you've got that kind of

25:25

distance and you've got that kind of power, see,

25:28

it just changes everything. And

25:31

and Scheffler is

25:33

the best player. It's not even

25:36

close at the current

25:38

time. You know. I mean, the whole

25:40

world golf rankings are screwed up, but they're not

25:42

screwed up on the number one spot. That's for sure.

25:44

He's he's he's by by far the best.

25:47

And if he just puts decent, he's

25:50

tough to he's tough to beat, you know, any any

25:52

time he plays. I

25:55

get so many questions on Scottie

25:57

Scheffler. It's the person I get the most and people

25:59

say, how does he do it? How does

26:01

he do it? Like with that because people

26:03

look at his swing and they go, you know, an, he

26:06

doesn't have that good of a swing, because what

26:08

people think is a great swing

26:11

is a swing that's in balance

26:14

and a swing that's esthetically

26:16

pleasing. Although Scotty Scheffer's got a beautiful

26:19

tempo to his swing. You

26:22

know, the footwork is that's

26:25

unique. I mean, there's there's no two ways

26:27

about that. But he's

26:29

not the first guy that's fallen all over the place. Justin

26:32

Thomas has some unique footwork and

26:34

Bubba Watson certainly did. And you

26:36

know, Gary Player was off balanced

26:38

pretty much every shot he always hit. But he's always

26:40

off balance going forward. Scheffler's kind

26:42

of, you know, jumping around a little bit. But here's

26:45

what he has. He

26:47

has incredible club

26:50

face control. He can

26:52

control that club face and that club

26:54

face gets delivered to the ball all

26:56

the time a similar

26:58

way. And it's absolutely spectacular

27:01

what he does. He is a great champion and

27:04

he's an incredibly gifted

27:08

athlete that that just can can

27:10

just go about his business and

27:12

never let anything bother him. They keep mentioning

27:14

that on TV to you know, nauseum.

27:17

I mean, he's just like, how many times are they going to say

27:19

it? It's but it

27:21

is true. Nothing bothers

27:23

him, His emotion never changes. He

27:26

just keeps plugging along. He's there

27:28

couldn't be a more grounded guy in the world than

27:30

this guy. And you

27:32

know, it's it is a case of the rich get richer

27:34

because the first time he wanted, Augusta's wife

27:36

had to remind him that, you know, And as he

27:39

was in a, you know, a panic mode

27:41

before the round, his wife reminded

27:43

him that no matter what happens, you know,

27:45

I'm still going to love you, and God's still going to love

27:47

you, and everything's going to be fine. And

27:49

he goes out there and wins. And now you know now

27:52

that he's done it so many times, and you

27:54

know, he's won eight times in the last you know,

27:56

a couple of years. He's

27:58

done it so many times that that you

28:01

know, this is nothing to him. Nothing shakes

28:03

him, nothing, you know, and nothing bothers them,

28:06

and he just plugs along and

28:08

he hits it better than everybody. And

28:10

he makes a couple of putts and that's all. It's

28:12

it's uh, it's part of somebody. People got

28:14

to do fantastic stuff to

28:17

be able to beat this guy. He's a he's the dominant

28:19

player right now and he's dominating golf

28:22

that right now is lacking

28:25

a lot of challengers to be to be honest

28:27

with you, and the ones that are challengers, you know that you gotta

28:29

look at Rory. You got to look at rom Uh.

28:32

You can look at this Ober Uh. You

28:34

know, I don't know who else you look at.

28:37

I mean, it's just there's there's not a lot of guys

28:39

and Ram had been going good and Rory

28:42

hadn't been going good. You know, Kepka

28:44

Major championships. He's a force, but he hasn't

28:46

been going good. So you just got to You got a free

28:48

run. That's what you got. And

28:51

that's kind of the way. You know, it isn't

28:53

in golf when when a player

28:55

dominates. I always remember seeing

28:57

that with with with Tiger and

29:00

when we would go to terments, I would always think,

29:03

Okay, I just got to watch out for Ernie

29:05

El's got to watch out for

29:07

VJ saying gotta watch out

29:09

for Phil Mickelson because he was he was.

29:12

He was greatness, There's no two ways about that.

29:15

But after that, you know, I never I

29:17

never thought, you know that anybody

29:20

jumps out to a lead or whatever that will

29:22

you know Tiger will catch him. And

29:25

it didn't. Didn't think it was. It was you

29:28

know in a way that there was so many

29:30

challengers, there really wasn't. And it's

29:32

the same there's even fewer today.

29:35

There's even even fewer challengers

29:37

and especially at this point in time. So Scotty

29:40

Scheffler wins the master's great win and

29:43

wasn't the best masters. But

29:46

it's never a bad Masters. That's

29:48

a great thing about the masters. There's

29:51

never there's never a bad Masters,

29:53

like there has there ever been a bad Masters. I mean

29:55

there's there's it's one thing that's impossible.

29:58

There could never be a bad Masters.
