00:00on sunday man that shot fooled more players and i'm not sure if it was just the angle
00:06or because the the green was a little bit raised you couldn't maybe feel quite of the as much of
00:11that at that wind to see if it was a little bit hurting or a little bit more right to
00:16left but
00:17man that whole location was right on the corner that right side of the green and shane wowery
00:21came on our podcast before the open championship ryan and i i loved this quote from he he just
00:27talked about how when the conditions start to get tough most likely you're going to see some
00:31strix on guys at the top of the leader i did see i did say that actually and and it's
00:35so true and the
00:36big reason why is because the you're able to control your golf ball and wind and especially
00:42for the week that we had at the open championship it was a lot of cross wins tell me about
00:46that shot
00:46you hit was it what club was it by the way it was it was nine nine so like zxi
00:51seven nine iron yeah
00:52nine nine yeah cx i7 so i like i think the ball in general is pretty stable in the wind
00:57as well
00:57like it's always been like really i mean easy is not the right word because golf isn't easy but like
01:05you it it doesn't get whacked by the wind that much so like i've always and i grew up in
01:10new
01:10zealand as well so playing in a wind is kind of it's part of the yeah it's part of your
01:14resume
01:15so like yeah i mean like i hit obviously a good tee shot down there i thought it was in
01:20the left side
01:20of the fairway must have kicked a little left or whatever um but the first cuts were never that
01:24bad you know it was like hitting out of the fairway though that burnt off and i got up there
01:29and
01:30this was a recurring theme over the weekend i had a really good number um and i think that's really
01:36underrated in golf like it makes it easy to make a decision makes it easy to commit to a shot
01:42so i
01:42i think i had like 139 meters and yeah that's that's including the up and it just was like it's
01:50a it's a nine iron it's off the right a touch of in like i knew i couldn't just a
01:57touch if you if you
01:58spin it at all it's gonna end up in that front bunker quick if you're aiming at that flag
02:01yeah and it was it was sort of one of those shots i was like i can't if i hold
02:06it into it a little
02:07bit like it's not going to get there it's going to spin up sam had kind of done the same
02:11thing
02:11um you'd seen his spin up i was like okay like i just need to kind of aim it at
02:17the flag and just
02:19let it drop to the left on the wind yeah and if it drops a little more and i've got
02:2330 feet well
02:25it's still a good shot yeah and it was just one it was just one of those ones like it
02:30came out
02:31i wasn't trying to turn it like it was just just let it go and it just came out really
02:36straight
02:37but like the good straight that just has it's not fighting the wind at all and as soon as i
02:44hit it
02:44like you probably heard it in the coverage and i think it's like yeah please be good or something
02:48something along those lines be the number and then yeah yeah but like at that point like i did what
02:54i
02:55control i thought i had a good shot and you're just going to like you you're hoping that it it
03:00is
03:00and it you know i saw it land and get up there pretty close and i don't know what it
03:04was like 12 15
03:05something like that rolled around and you're like like i don't think yeah i couldn't hit it i couldn't
03:11hit a better shot like i'm not trying to hit it still yeah but you're still like having a birdie
03:15chance was would have been like a reasonable birdie chance was would have been the perfect outcome and
03:22that's exactly what happened
03:23you
