00:00Well, let me ask you this. In the spring of 2024, when you're going from college event to PGA Tour
00:05and back to college events, I imagine when you had that 7.30 tea time in college, when you got,
00:10you know, your parents watching, your sisters watching, maybe a couple new fans that have watched you on the PGA
00:16Tour.
00:16Or I'm sure you showed up at that event thinking, not only am I going to play well, but I'm
00:21going to beat the ever-living stew out of every single one of these guys. And it's probably just all
00:27about a mindset, right? And it's so weird and funny how mindsets can change based on just where you are.
00:34Easy. Yeah, very easy. And I think kind of, as you said, it's just that level of confidence and I'm
00:41gaining it every week, no matter if I miss a cut or win, whatever it is, I feel like I'm
00:46gaining every week of confidence. And I think that's something I'm tracking towards, you know, it's hard to miss a
00:52cut and be like, okay, I've learned something this week, you know, and I think I struggle with that early
00:57on.
00:57But now, as I keep going, it's like, okay, like, you know, I really, it's funny enough, it's like, when
01:02a guy wins on the PGA Tour, I always realize the next week, they're just talking about the next event.
01:08Yeah.
01:08It's like, okay, like you get, you get your little five minutes of like, you know, fame and Instagram comments
01:14and all these things. And then next week, it rolls around, they're talking about the Genesis and, and everything. And
01:19it's like, wow, like, it really just does skip over. So it's kind of just putting your brain like, okay,
01:25like, every week's different.
01:26I'm going to go out and play the best I can. And then the next week, they're going to talk
01:29about someone else. So it's just putting that in mindset of like, going out and playing for free and being
01:35who you are as a person.
01:36It's almost the perspective of, of looking at it from Scotty Sheffers wins. It's, you know, how often he wins
01:43and how often he contends, you know, he's at 18 straight top 10s and 15 of those 18 have been
01:49top fives just and we're just in the Scotty era right now.
01:53And I know he's got to spend some time with Scotty at the golf channel games, which by the way,
01:58we didn't give out an MVP award, but I gave it to him at the closing ceremonies.
02:01Um, I mean, that had to be fun to, to, to, to be on a team with Scotty. I know
02:07it, it was not a hit and giggle by any means. Like it was still skills competition and all of
02:13this, but, uh, did you ever have enough time to, to be able to spend some time with Scotty in
02:18that?
02:19And just feel like, you know, it's somebody you can go to if you ever had questions of, um, whether,
02:24you know, whether it be something about your game or just picking his brain about what he does so well.
02:29Yeah. I mean, obviously when we were kind of just, you know, meeting everyone and talking to everyone, he was
02:34very just welcoming. Like he welcomed me in really quickly and, you know, we were sort of joking around a
02:40few things and everything, but.
02:41But kind of just watching him work was just enough for me, you know, and I asked him obviously a
02:47few questions just about religion and everything and, and, and stuff like that.
02:52But just watching him come like, for instance, at waste, you know, I watched his first round and obviously he's
02:59a little bit mad and whatever. Everyone gets mad. That's just how it is in golf.
03:02But for him to come back and almost win and then do it again, the next week, didn't play well
03:07the first round and then do it again. It's just shows like, it's just mentality, you know, no matter, he
03:13doesn't care if he's even par through 25 holes.
03:16He knows he's going to be up there at the end of the week. And when you get to that
03:20level of confidence, it's just hard to get rid of that. And that's something that everyone's chasing.
03:25And the way he does it is just so calm, you know, in his mind. And he knows that his
03:31prep and his training and everything he's done leads into those moments. And it's just so cool to watch, you
03:38know, like I, I, it's, it's, I, I, I have a really hot take.
03:43And I've always said this, I think he's playing the best golf out of anyone ever. You know, obviously I
03:49know Tiger is the best.
03:51I love Tiger and I think he's the GOAT and I think he's done incredible things, but Scotty just doesn't
03:57miss. And when he does miss, it looks like a great shot, you know, and it's like, it's just crazy
04:03to watch.
04:03And I think, um, it takes not as hot as it used to be, you know, it, it's not that,
04:08that take maybe last year, but hold on Poe, or maybe you're too prior. It's like, I don't know, but
04:13maybe we'll have to, what we might have to wait till this summer.
04:16And once we get through this major cycle to see exactly how hot that take is, it might be, uh,
04:22you know, if somebody goes on the opposite side of that, it might be a cold to take, you know,
04:26when other people say that later.
04:27Um, yeah.
