00:00Gary Playa. Hello, Gary. Gary Playa, after hitting the ceremonial first tee shot yesterday morning,

00:05was asked, when was the last time he ate fast food? Here we go.

00:09Well, you don't reach 90 as I do if you eat a bunch of crap, I can tell you that.

00:16But that's your choice. You know, everybody has a choice. I want to live to 100 because I love

00:23people. I love golf. I just love life. I've got a young girlfriend who's changed my life. How

00:29about that at 90, finding a girlfriend? Tom's not as old as me, but he's also found a new

00:34one. And I'll tell you what, guys, you all, what if you, you or your wife are going to die?

00:40What if you're going to die? What if the spouse is going to die? And it's not the end of life.

00:45And so many people, that does happen, and they get so disheartened that they don't think they

00:50should continue life. The greatest gift bestowed upon a man or woman is life. And so my ambition

00:57is to lead to 100. So I went to India and I met a gerontologist, and he gave me 11 things

01:03to work on, which I adhere to. And so I might drop dead tomorrow, but I'm giving it a hell

01:09of a try. My man is getting a piece of leg. Your boy, Gary Player, getting some. Check

01:16out. And how about him? How about him diming out Tom Watson that he is too? He dimes out

01:21Watson. Tom's got a young girlfriend too. Listen to him. Here's amateur, amateur Jose

01:27Luis Ballester. He got himself in a little bit of trouble yesterday. He couldn't find a bathroom,

01:32so he decided to use Ray's Creek. Not a good thing. Well, I completely forgot that we had

01:38those restaurants on the left of the tee box. Oh, okay. 13th tee. Yes, correct. And then

01:44I'm like, I really need to pee. Didn't really know where to go. And since JT had an issue around

01:50the green, I'm like, okay, I'm just going to sneak here in the river. Probably the people

01:55would not see me that much. And then they clap for me. Probably one of the clubs that I really

02:01got today, like real loud. So that was, that was kind of funny.

02:04Are you concerned that there might be any blowback from that at all? Or, I mean, obviously

02:09they did see you, right? Yeah, they saw me. They saw me. I mean, it was not embarrassing

02:16at all for me. So if I had to do it again, I would do it again. Hey, you gotta go. You

02:20gotta go. Oh, he's gonna do it again, huh? At the Masters, how about not getting invited

02:25back? That's very possible. He is only an amateur. All right. Patrick Reed shot one under yesterday.

02:31He had a good round, but his putter was giving him all kinds of problems. He doesn't like

02:35his putter. Piss poor. Putted like a blind man. Just kept leaving him a little short. And

02:40just when I finally got the ball to hold, didn't have the right read. So putted horridly. Not

02:44going to win golf tournaments. Not going to, you know, putt in the way I putted today. You

02:48gotta give putts a chance. Leaving them short, there's just not, no need for that. You want

02:52to break it. You want to break the putter. That's what you want to do.

02:55But you didn't. No. Should have. So, I mean, I was hitting it fine. Ball striking wasn't

02:59the problem. The flat stick's on vacation and needs to kind of show up. Needs to get on

03:04flight and meet me here.

03:04Haha, your boy. Look at him. Paddy Reed. And Ken Griffey Jr. is running around Augusta

03:13as a credentialed photographer. So if you see the kid say hi to him. Mo Salah gets a two-year

03:18extension at Liverpool. And that hack 7'2 UCLA big man Mara transferred to Michigan. That

03:25guy stinks. He can't grab a board. That's 7'2 kid Mo Salah.
