00:00Yeah. With, with Fitzy and just his game, man, it's, it's so impressive to watch. I think he's
00:04got so much control, like just control of every aspect of his game and, and clear and what he
00:11wants to do. And with, with every shot, like there's just no indecision to me. Like he's not,
00:16it just doesn't look flustered at all about any situation he gets in. And, and the one thing that
00:21I keep harping on with Fitzpatrick is that the moment is not going to be too big for him. And
00:26I
00:26think you saw it on Sunday, even, you know, if you want to call it blowing a lead or just
00:31more so
00:31Scotty Schaeffer doing what he does down the stretch. But, but Fitzy hit the shot on 18 in
00:37the playoff. That was a very difficult shot. Making birdie on that hole is, is just stupid.
00:43Shout out, obviously Gary Wood on maybe shot of the year, holding out on 18 to have another great
00:48finish. But man, I, I couldn't be more impressed with Fitzy's game is the one shot that I'll,
00:54I'll leave you with is that he has a shot that, that nobody else really hits, which is a low,
01:01low driver that just finds fairways. And if you can find, you know, 11 fairways around these,
01:09these guys are too good, man. And, and Fitzy's kind of figured out the formula of, of being able
01:14to hit it long and straight, but just doing it with a different apex, right? Not bombing it way up
01:20in
01:20the air, just getting it down on the ground. Maybe, maybe we should cater to that a little
01:24bit. Yeah. I, I listened to that. There's a lot I'm trying to kind of take away from this week
01:29in
01:29terms of, you know, notes from Fitzy notes from, from watching smiley cop and swing videos as he
01:34gears up for the potential comeback. So I I'm, I'm writing things in my notebook. I will say to your
01:39point on Fitzpatrick, the just the not necessarily giving away to your point, but you know, Scotty
01:45Sheffer kind of chasing him down. And then the way he sort of flubs that chip on 18 and regulation
01:49and ends up making bogey to go that playoff obviously would stick in a lot of guys' minds,
01:53but to your, you know, getting up on that tee box in the playoff, you know, hitting it up there
01:57to
01:58eight feet, seven inches and making that birdie putt to win again, just speaks to his, his sort of,
02:02you know, resilience in that mentality. And, and, you know, just the, if you really kind of want to
02:07equate it to a Ryder cup scenario that he's had to deal with, you know, the players with cam and
02:11now
02:11here at the heritage to Scotty, he's really kind of built for these situations. I want to talk a
02:17little bit about Harbor town in general, smiley, because this is such a unique course, you know,
02:22to like everything else we see on tour. And it was a little bit of a head scratcher to start
02:27the
02:27week. And you're seeing Aldrich pot geter at the top of the leaderboard or Michael Brennan,
02:30like these bombers. And you hear so much about this being a shorter course, but can you just describe,
02:36you know, the, the, how you strategize around this course? Cause it feels like a lot of the
02:41has to do with approach angles. Like it's not just hitting fairways. It's which side of the
02:46fairway are you hitting it? And, you know, does that, are you, if you're on the left side for
02:50certain holes, are you blocked out for an approach where it's kind of angling right to left? Like
02:54what goes into strategizing for the, for a course that is so unique to everything else you see on
02:59the PGA tour? Yeah, it definitely starts off the tee, right? Like putting the ball in play and finding
03:03fairways. If you're, if you're erratic at this golf course, you'll quickly find that you're either out of
03:09bounds or you're going to be in some serious tree trouble where it's going to be a chip out
03:13situation. Uh, I know Davis loves team has been heavily involved in kind of the restoration of,
03:18of Harbor town. I know this past year they've, they've done some work and, and try to just
03:23continue to, to add elements to make it more challenging for the PGA tour players. Uh, I saw
03:28a couple of different features they, they added and, uh, it's, it's a, it's an awesome track,
03:34man. Like you go, you go stand on the 14 T that part three and you just think to yourself,
03:39man,
03:40I want no part of this shot, but these guys get up there and execute and, but they're it's,
03:46it's one of the most dangerous shots on the PGA tour, these guys face.
