00:00 I was actually reading this article that Gabby Hertzig wrote about you.
00:10 I'm not sure if it was last year, but at the very end of the article, it was a really great
00:14 story about Pebble Beach in which you bogeyed the last hole and you end up making a big
00:21 paycheck, which is something that if you've ever gotten the text of a big paycheck from
00:26 the PGA Tour, it's like, "Okay, this is pretty sweet.
00:28 Where were you when you got that text?
00:30 Tell us a little bit about the cookies."
00:32 Yeah.
00:33 That was probably my sixth or seventh event.
00:39 Maybe whatever.
00:40 It was an early part of my rookie season.
00:43 I was having a nice Sunday.
00:44 I had a good week all week and a nice Sunday.
00:47 It was a very difficult day at Pebble.
00:49 It was pretty firm, pretty windy.
00:52 I think I was maybe a couple under par through 17 and teed off in 25th and moved up to, I
00:58 think I was in the top 10 and just striped it down the fairway underneath.
01:04 Just past the damn tree.
01:06 You're thinking birdie, you're thinking eagle.
01:10 Yeah.
01:11 Now it's like in my mind, I'm just going to like, I didn't have a great lie underneath
01:16 the tree.
01:17 Obviously, it's shaded and the grass doesn't grow as well.
01:20 Time comes to hit the shot and I chunk hook it in the water.
01:25 Then I guess after that I drop and hit like a six iron on the green and make a pretty
01:29 decent six, you'd say.
01:30 That's a great six.
01:31 Yeah.
01:32 I'm kind of obviously bummed out and we're staying in Carmel.
01:38 I go back and I'm not leaving until the next day.
01:41 I think I'm going to Phoenix the next day.
01:46 I kept going over right next to our hotel's market that had ready-made food and sandwiches
01:51 and it was great.
01:52 I just wore it out all week.
01:54 I go there and it's two o'clock in the afternoon.
01:58 I grab a sandwich and I'm waiting to check out.
02:00 I'm still just kind of fuming and fuming and fuming.
02:05 Check out, buy the sandwich, leave.
02:07 In the parking lot, there's these two, they're probably 10-year-old girls selling Girl Scout
02:10 cookies.
02:11 Obviously, if you've ever seen me in person, one would assume that I enjoy cookies and
02:16 I especially enjoy Girl Scout cookies.
02:20 I had just gotten done paying the locker room guys at Pebble.
02:22 I was like, "I'm going to buy it.
02:24 I'll buy some Girl Scout cookies.
02:25 Why not?"
02:26 The only thing in my wallet was a $100 bill.
02:30 It's like, "Well, regardless of how much money I just burned by chunk cooking in the Pacific,
02:38 maybe let's try to brighten up these girls' day and give them 100 bucks."
02:42 I got two boxes of the, I don't know what they're called, but they're kind of like the
02:46 Reese's ones, the chocolate peanut butter with some wafer in it.
02:50 Yeah.
02:51 Sure.
02:52 That's my favorite.
02:53 I handed the girls the $100 bill.
02:56 I remember vividly one of the girls walking over to her mom and saying, "What do we do?
03:02 What do we do?"
03:03 This guy just gave us 100 as if, "Okay, well, we have to calculate the change."
03:06 I obviously just said, "No, it's for you guys to keep.
03:09 You can split it.
03:10 Thank you so much."
03:11 I made the short walk back to my hotel, crushed the sandwich.
03:15 I think at the time I crushed the sandwich, I ate almost one full box of the Girl Scout
03:20 cookies as well.
03:22 I turned the golf on and I realized 18 that day is playing the hardest it's ever played.
03:26 It's averaging 5.6.
03:30 So yeah, after making bogey, I think I went from 22nd all the way up to 15th.
03:38 Then shortly after that, I obviously get the text that I make a whole bunch of money.
03:44 I was good.
03:45 The Girl Scout cookies certainly helped relieve some of that stress.
03:48 It was 96,000, I think I read.
03:50 Yeah.
03:51 I mean, that's plenty.
03:52 That is plenty.
03:54 I can do a lot with that.
03:55 I don't do really anything with it, but if I wanted to, I could.
