00:00how players when they're young how easy it is for them to be able to win uh not only just once but

00:08win consecutive year over year and then all of a sudden when kind of uh when the game of golf

00:15catches up to you when it always does a very few have been able to keep tiger level of consistency

00:21over you know decade span right it's for the most part guys have their hot runs and for the most

00:28part they they always are chasing to get back to that to that level where justin played at a very

00:35high level for a very long time so our expectation for justin was that he's a player that should win

00:42at least twice every year and when he has a two-win year that's a down year so expectations as a fan

00:49you're thinking you know when he doesn't win three years in a row you're thinking this guy's lost

00:54he's got no game left you know he's all you can play but you can make all the uh excuses in the

01:00world and i think where uh where i i turn to in all this is you know what i've been able to see

01:08which is the dude hasn't stopped working um he's invested himself more than ever uh he's training

01:16harder than he ever has but i think the big difference for him this year um is that i think

01:21he's just kind of playing jt golf again and i think he's kind of got a plan i think he shows up

01:27every day knowing what he's going to work on not overworking on things and uh i definitely want to

01:33get into another conversation here in a minute about xander shoffley and the advice that he got
