00:00One of the most memorable rounds I've ever walked to watch was going out there and walking the front with Jackson and Brian.
00:07And the way we kind of navigated these massive crowds following Rory and Bryson around that final group was getting on the left side of seven about halfway up that hill.
00:16So that recovery shot, he kind of sliced cut around the trees back into that green on seven, went right over our heads.
00:25One of the coolest shots I've ever seen.
00:26I mean, just think about, I mean, that shot on the seventh hole and then you go all the way until, I mean, he's just playing.
00:35Yeah.
00:36Gosh, he's playing good golf.
00:37And then that stuff happens at 13 and then the shots he hits down at like 15, of course, is going to be an all time like heroic shot.
00:46That's seven iron.
00:46But then even this, the pin they use at 16, I think we'll forget about because we're so used to the Sunday hole location at 16 being down to the left.
00:55But this year was on, it was on top celebrating, I believe 50 year anniversary or no, it can't be 50 year anniversary of Jack Nicklaus when that can't be right.
01:05It was, uh, of 86 or, or, or what do you, yeah, it was like 86 is what they were celebrating the putt that he made up the hill.
01:12And they use that whole location to celebrate that.
01:16Maybe it was, it can't be 20.
01:17No, it would have been 25 years.
01:18It's somewhere that the math, math, math, yeah, but like the bottom of the cup had something too.
01:24I think, I recall, uh, no, that was, that was the players that had the better than most, um, thing in the cup anyways.
01:31Uh, but I think we'll forget about the, the iron shot that he hit into the 16th, which was really, really good.
01:38He didn't make birdie, but it was a, like a fantastic shot, a shot in which he couldn't hit prior years.
01:45Surely.
01:46I mean, of course, Corey McIlroy can hit whatever shot he wants.
01:49I'm just saying under pressure in that type of moment, probably would have struggled with it in other years.
01:56And then 17, of course, that eight iron and then 18, um, in the playoff, all of that.
02:01Well, I mean, and I'm, I just went back to look at his card and I'd already forgotten that we were, we were there on one, you know, getting ready for the showdown.
02:09Was it a bogey or a double?
02:10Doubles one.
02:12And, and, and, and, you know, and we were thinking at that point, Bryson fell off the pace pretty quickly, but we thought it was going to be a Rory Bryson duel.
02:18And, you know, just watching him kind of make a mess that first hole, but yeah, birdie on 17 and then to miss the putt, he misses on 18 and then have something similar in the playoff.
02:29Well, remember he's in the middle of the fairway and then hits it into the right bunker with a sand wedge or cap wedge, but still has like a, a makeable, not, not a, not a gimme for four, but he has like a four or five footer, four or five footer.
02:44And then he has something similar in the playoff and, and makes it.
02:46And just to the release there was, he had like the same number on 18, but there's two drives he hit.
02:54I mean, the amount of, I don't think I've ever seen somebody have like 120 yards at 18, at least not on back to back drives.
03:02Yeah.
03:02To, to take on that angle and the way that he did back to back, just so nervy, you know, if he lose that a little bit, it's just, you could throw the golf tournament away.
03:11And, and yeah, yeah, that was, I mean, this is why I love, we're doing this exercise because as we're talking about it and obviously wasn't at the open, but being there for those three majors, you're just, you're just putting yourself back in those moments and remembering how thrilling it was to watch him go to work in the way that he did.
