00:00Well, let's talk Sam because there's been this narrative around Sam Burns that he doesn't have the ability to close,
00:06right?
00:06And then we're looking back at the last year extended.
00:09U.S. Open last year, Oakmont finishes tied for seventh after a standing water ruling that we both felt was
00:15pretty harsh.
00:16Then this year, tied for seventh at the Masters, solo second at the U.S. Open, leading the Open heading
00:21into the final round.
00:21And so for me, it feels like he's sort of shedding this narrative in real time, especially considering he might
00:28not have even played this week.
00:30He was considering withdrawing because his daughter, Bell, arrived on two weeks early, July the 3rd.
00:35His wife encourages him to go.
00:37What what in particular are you seeing from his game, especially in majors where it's translating to this ability to
00:45like continuously contend at the highest leverage moments?
00:48It's his iron play. His iron play is so much more improved.
00:52It was, you know, I think a weakness to his game over the last couple of years.
00:56First and strokes can't approach this week, by the way.
00:58But he's you know, when he when he irons it that good, he's you're just not going to beat him.
01:05I'm just telling you, like he's he's he's too good of a putter.
01:11He's got he's got the plus length. Right.
01:13So he's got all the tools.
01:17I this is in Sam Burns's hands like he can go and run away and hide with this thing if
01:21he wants to.
01:22And it wouldn't surprise me if he did.
01:23If I could think, in my part of this like, I could never turn away and run it back.
