00:00Teeing off for the 125th United States Open at Oakmont.
00:06The 10th time they'll be at Oakmont.
00:08So 10 of the 125, Scotty, have been here at the Oakmont Country Club.
00:13And we know who the big favorites are, of course.
00:16How could you not?
00:17It's Scotty Scheffler.
00:18It's Bryson.
00:20Rory, I'm surprised to see Rory in double digits now.
00:2312 to 1, but he's been so awful.
00:24Shot 81 at Pebble Beach last week.
00:27Like 81.
00:29I think I had an 86 there at Pebble Beach.
00:33Rahm at 12.
00:35Xander, Colin, Ludwig, and Joaquin Neiman.
00:39Now, you sent me this video, and I saw this video making the rounds a lot yesterday.
00:44There's been a lot of talk about the rough, about the upkeep of the grass at Oakmont.
00:52I mean, look at these guys, guys.
00:53I mean, they're doing all that they can.
00:54Look at these guys.
00:55It's like a line.
00:56Look at this assembly line.
00:57I love these maintenance crew out at Oakmont.
00:59It's like the chain gang.
01:02I mean, look at this.
01:05Cutting that grass.
01:05Get down there and ridding that sand in the bunker.
01:09Look at them going right around.
01:11Look at them.
01:12They look like cockroaches.
01:16Ants.
01:16I was going to say it is.
01:18It's like ants going around.
01:18Look at how brutal that is.
01:19Those are those church steeple bunkers.
01:22What a disaster.
01:23What a disaster.
01:26You know what they did?
01:28They ruined.
01:28I heard they ruined the golf course over the last few years.
01:32They I think in around.
01:34It's been a while.
01:35But in 93, they cut down all the trees.
01:38Yeah.
01:39The place used to be covered with oaks.
01:42Thus Oakmont.
01:44And, you know, it was a real, you know, dangerous golf course with gigantic trees everywhere.
01:52They cut them all out.
01:54And they're gone.
01:56And they said they ruined the golf course.
01:58So they made it like a links course.
02:00It's got no water.
02:02It's got a million bunkers.
02:04And the bunkers are brutal.
02:06And the rough is brutal.
02:09So and the fairways are small.
02:12It's not a place where they're, you know, nowadays in golf, as you know, these guys hit so big.
02:18All they do is they hit a giant tee shot and then they hit a floppy wedge into the green.
02:26They have big greens, big fairways, big ball off the tee and a wedge.
02:31And it's become a joke.
02:32And they play 30 under golf tournaments.
02:36Well, you're not going to see any of that this week.
02:38Okay.
02:39You're going to see guys in more trouble than their marriages.
02:43Trust me when I tell you the ball.
02:45When you can't see your feet, let alone the ball, you're going to have problems hitting out of that and landing anywhere, except maybe hitting a head or something.
02:58The balls are going to be flying all over the place at that golf course, and you know it.
