00:00When you are a Masters champion, you get that air of respect,
00:02which means, yeah, I'm going to be the returning champion.
00:04I get my champion's dinner.
00:06Let me see how I'm going to start this tournament.
00:07Oh, by the way, I'm in first place.
00:09They asked him, what are you going to do now?
00:10You're in first place after round number one.
00:12Quote, I'll probably go up there in the champion's locker room right now,
00:15have a little drink, put my green jacket on, and call it a day.
00:18That's how you handle business as a champion, Joe.
00:22Listen, I mean, there is a demeanor about him now,
00:27watching him play yesterday, and a calmness, Donnie,
00:30that, I mean, this guy's got all the weight of the world is off his shoulders,
00:35and the big question was whether or not he was going to care enough
00:38when push came to shove and actually go out there and not, yeah,
00:43I mean, he was just having such a great time leading up to this week
00:46because, you know, he's champion, something that's eluded him forever,
00:49but instead what we got yesterday should terrify just about everybody else
00:54in the field because you have a very calm Rory McIlroy laughing it up,
00:59yugging it up, having a good time, and shooting 67,
01:02and didn't play his best game, Donnie.
01:05That's terrifying for everybody else here at Augusta.
