00:00and it's scotty scheffler out of nowhere i mean we had him left for dead not nowhere but well i
00:06mean i'd say we should friday many people wrote him off right he he was i think he shot i
00:13did he
00:13was even par right i think he was 70 74 to open makes the cut of course but everyone thinks
00:18he's
00:18miles off then goes out posts a 765 on saturday so he's within four shots of the lead entering
00:23the day not completely dead but he he amazing par saves on six and seven wouldn't have even been
00:29this position with without long putts made there and then we did we did raccoon time a very different
00:33type of raccoon time on the show here last night uh scotty did a little bit of raccoon time on
00:3850
00:38because he hits that drive way right he he hits a nice punch out but it clips the last tree
00:44on on his sort of intended line falls back down the pine straw hits that third shot to about 20
00:50feet
00:50and then makes that birdie up the hill at that point it gets him to 10 under tied for second
00:54then hits it to about you know maybe 10 12 feet on 16 makes that birdie get to 11 under
00:59and solo second you know how i mean of course we we know scotty sheffler was alive of course we
01:05thought he was in play but just i'm curious you know your thoughts on just how much of a factor
01:10he was going to become i think you had a number in mind for him if he gets here yeah
01:14he either wins
01:14outriders in a playoff i thought he needed to get to 13 to win and and it turned out that
01:19would
01:19have been enough uh to that's right not only win but uh win by one of rory i mean these
01:24are all
01:24hypotheticals of course but uh what scotty i i feel that he missed out on and i'm curious i didn't
01:32really get a great feel for what happened at 13 so scotty sheffler hits the fairway and lays up
01:37and i just don't know what happened and i don't know if we can maybe have jackson uh during this
01:43during our record doing a little bit of investigative research of why scotty sheffler wasn't able to go for
01:48for it in two at 13 uh the day prior on 13 he had some abnormal playing conditions on his
01:57golf ball
01:59and today you wonder did it happen again because it looked like he was in a place where he could
02:05go
02:05for it i don't know why he didn't and he laid up and he laid up too close ends up
02:10making par at 13
02:12and 15 was obviously a bizarre situation where he tries to punch out on the layup and then
02:20has it looks like nothing to the green goes up over a tree somehow lands it on the front of
02:26the green
02:27out of the rough keeps it on the green and then makes the birdie putt and i want to talk
02:33about how
02:33great this shot was because we have two comparisons here and maybe the wind had picked up fraction anymore
02:38for cam young but cam young had seven iron into this same green scotty sheffler hit eight iron
02:44and scotty somehow holds the green and keeps it 20 feet short of the hole out of the rough
02:48and cam young lands a seven iron on the front of the green it rolls over the green yeah and
02:52so i i just
02:53haven't like wrapped my brain around what happened there like how like the differences of bounces on 15
03:00hasn't computed for me because rory's ball looks like it's going to land and spin back in the water
03:07meanwhile scotty somehow having a golf ball come down like a on a baby's bottom and it's off
03:13it just nothing added up added up for me there that's the first place my head went is you talk
03:18a lot about scotty's ability to control ball flight and change trajectory and change like landing or
03:23being one of his you know superpowers right and that's the only thing it could be right just given
03:26how firm 13 but especially 15 greens were this week and and golly that might have saved rory because
03:34as we kind of keep playing out the day that one of 15 if it's softer it comes back we're
03:38talking about
03:38that shot at wedge shot 15 being comparable to the one on 13 on sunday last year where he ends
03:44up
03:44making double and and maybe we're in a playoff right now but i mean you know for for him for
03:48scotty hit
03:49that shot and make that putt and then man great drive at 17 we think he's got a chance almost
03:55makes that
03:56long putt at 17 i think you gotta go back to 16 man that touch oh uh the touch at
04:0116 and 17 you know
04:02when he misses the greens at both of those situations what are you talking about scotty
04:06hit the green at 16 sorry i thought we were on rory my bad i thought you oh oh wait
04:10sorry i was
04:10drinking water okay take it either any way you want to go what you got you got something for me
04:16just that shot on 13 you were asking about he had 288 uh to the pin after on his second
04:22shot
04:22and he had 288 yeah i don't hold the phone that can't be right can you look and see what
04:29he did with
04:29this do you have video of his drive there just to see yeah let's let's do some investigative
04:33reporting because he's in the fairway yeah he's in the middle of the fairway okay after some
04:38investigative reporting charlie i just called justin cutcher who i worked inside amen corner with
04:44on amazon prime this week and i said all right justin why did scotty shefford not go for it
04:51into jackson tells us he was 288 was the number right okay so justin has told us
04:57that he hit his t-ball to the right hits a tree comes back into the fairway was too far
05:03away was
05:03forced to lay up so that answers our question on 13 it wasn't an abnormal playing condition
05:08with the golf ball this he was just too far back and needed to lay up and then now i
05:13would argue
05:15that the layup was improper i thought too close and you heard you can hear scotty in the clip of
05:23him
05:23laying it up he said that ball needs a hook you know he's trying to get the ball down to
05:27the left
05:27side of the fairway because if you're going to push it up in that 60 to 70 yard range it
05:32needs
05:33to be left it needed to be where worry mackerel played that shot from last year where he hit in
05:38the water but he didn't have an angle he was too much on the down slope and he had a
05:42really good
05:43wedge shot but he was too close with a bad angle if he would have taken that same line on
05:48the layup he
05:49needed to be probably about 15 to 20 yards further back so that he could get spin on the golf
05:53ball
05:54you
