01:49I think sometimes when we see random testing people think....

01:52But you're playing on tour

01:53you're going to get tested a couple or three times a year.

01:57We think the testing that we're doing is commensurate with

02:00both the degree of failure that we see which is pretty minimal.

02:05And quite frankly, when we see failure at least currently

02:08we're seeing clubs literally creep over the line.

02:11It's a line we draw.

02:13We aren't seeing when we're taking drivers off

02:15فقط تعتمج بشروعين Looking at where that one went

02:18So I think sometimes in the media and in the fan space you think

02:21TOOK 20 yards off of that player

02:23I mean we're literally talking about an extra microsecond

02:27And if you get within 18 microseconds of the line

02:30We give you what we call a yellow warning

02:33That club is starting to

02:35Because at the velocities and the frequency in which they hit these clubs

02:38They will just relax over time

02:40So as a service to manufacturers, to the players, and to the tours

02:44We provide that.

02:45If I'm being honest with you, I think in terms of kind of what happened at the PGA Championship,

02:49it made us more committed to not wanting to have this be the topic of town

03:15الق Vill invited of the and if I mean I mean probably shouldn't admit this but i'm not even in them like I

03:21Know we tested this week

03:22I couldn't tell you if we had failures and if so what those failures were in the time I could probably

03:27Go ask but I stay out of that that mix

03:30I know that if we saw a trend that was alarming in terms of either how many or how far they were

03:35Moving beyond we would change the way we approach it

03:37But with what we're seeing today it would it'd be a greater interruption the juice wouldn't be worth the squeeze

03:42إلى JP's point

03:44with the anchor site agreement

03:46with us working together with the clubs

03:48we've created a lot of fan space here

03:50that may not have been here always before

03:52and that's great

03:52not just in terms of corporate opportunities

03:55but fan space as well

03:56I would tell you that this weekend

03:58when we're all in here

04:00as Fred knows there's a ticker in our office

04:02that every time somebody comes through

04:03we see the number change

04:04and we've got to move it

04:05because it just keeps going all day

04:07and you've got to look at it

04:08but I'll bet all in

04:09we'll have about 40,000 people on site here

04:11on Saturday

04:1240,000 people on Sunday

04:14probably similar tomorrow and Friday

04:16that was a good prompt

04:18because I walked in here

04:19Beth said to me

04:19hey can you do me a favor

04:20and just mention the purse

04:22and I totally failed on that

04:23so sorry

04:23our purse is $21.5 million

04:25winner's check is $4.3

04:27we didn't raise our purse this year

04:28we've been

04:29when I started at the USJ

04:31just four years ago

04:31our purse was $12.5

04:33so I feel comfortable

04:34that we've been a leader

04:35in moving fast and bigger

04:37we're not really a fan of small

04:39but when we go

04:40go a little bit bigger

04:42same by the way

04:43has happened on the women's side

04:44where we've gone from

04:44five and a half to 12

04:45in a similar period of time

04:47yes

04:47listen

04:48does that make it hard

04:49when you talk about

04:50to Fred's point

04:50all the investments

04:51we make in the game

04:52but at the same time

04:53we understand

04:54we want to be relevant

04:55we understand the competitive set

04:56we know that this

04:57this probably isn't really

04:59about the money

04:59for the person

05:00who puts you there

05:00but at the same time

05:01we want the money

05:02to be commensurate

05:03with the achievement

05:04and so yeah

05:05we feel

05:06you know

05:07we feel comfortable

05:07I don't really know

05:09the other four majors

05:10but I think we

05:11if we're not the top

05:12we're close to the top

05:13and we'll continue

05:15to evaluate that

05:16both on the men's

05:17and women's side

05:17because it's part of

05:19creating what we want

05:20to be the greatest

05:21championship in the game

05:22well

05:23you know

05:24it's

05:24there's been a lot

05:25of talk about the weather

05:26I don't need to

05:27belabor that

05:28but it's

05:29we're very hopeful

05:30we understand

05:32that the golf course

05:33from everybody here

05:34that the golf course

05:35can turn around

05:36very quickly

05:36we'll see

05:39this afternoon

05:39I can't answer that

05:40because I don't know

05:41we've seen

05:42some of it come to us

05:43with a little bit

05:44of firmness

05:45and a little bit

05:47of green speed

05:47candidly

05:48we'd like to see more

05:49and it

05:50you know

05:51as we like to say

05:52Mother Nature

05:52has a seat at the table

05:53and we can only

05:55we can only make

05:56water evaporate

05:57only so quickly

05:58but we're hoping

06:00for a good afternoon

06:01of a little bit

06:01of breeze

06:02a little bit

06:02more dry

06:02the rough will be

06:08a little over five inches

06:09and it is dense

06:10Oakmont

06:11just day in and day out

06:13has dense rough

06:14but we have plenty

06:18of spotters

06:19but no guarantees

06:20we won't lose

06:21a golf ball or two

06:21but we're going to do

06:22everything we humanly

06:23possibly can

06:24you know

06:25not to do so

06:26but we feel good

06:27about that

06:28but you know

06:30well as I said

06:30I think the rough

06:31if you

06:32players that drive

06:34the ball in the fairway

06:34will have an advantage

06:35no question about it

06:36but you know

06:38I think thinking

06:38about the rough

06:39I'll be honest

06:40you know

06:40I gave

06:41we gave that

06:42a lot of thought

06:43and I

06:43looking back

06:44and doing research

06:45at Oakmont

06:46you know

06:47it's interesting

06:47you go back

06:48and most every

06:50U.S. Open

06:50here

06:51all nine of them

06:53had at least one day

06:54or at least a day

06:55or so in advance

06:56of it

06:56that we got some rain

06:57so when we thought

06:59about that

07:00and we thought

07:00about the restoration

07:01and the restoration

07:02made the fairways

07:03I don't know

07:04two to four yards longer

07:05some more

07:05some a little bit less

07:06we just felt

07:08we needed

07:09the rough that we have

07:10and we think

07:12it's appropriate

07:12for the driving corridors

07:14and we're looking forward

07:15to seeing how it

07:15unfolds

07:18well listen

07:19you know

07:20the answer to that

07:21is Phil did receive

07:22one in 2021

07:24and I'm a little

07:27sleep deprived Doug

07:28so

07:28but counting my years

07:30backwards

07:31but you know

07:32it's like

07:33it's like anything

07:35we would review

07:38things for Shinnecock

07:40ahead of next year

07:42and look at all

07:43of those possibilities

07:44and evaluate it

07:47from there

07:48you know

07:49I think

07:50the way that we would

07:50also think of Phil

07:52is we hope he earns

07:53his way in

07:53and I think he'd tell you

07:54the same thing

07:55and that's what he did

07:56last time

07:57we gave him one

07:57and then he went out

07:58and won the PGA championship

07:59so wouldn't put it past him
