00:00Wyndham, I told that going back to the Gary's, I'm told that a couple of times or more today,
00:03you heard people sharing your mistakes when they happened.
00:08I'm curious, did you hear any of that the first three days of this week?
00:12And the second thing is, did you just assume what you said earlier?
00:16They want Rory to win, but they're not really rooting against you?
00:19Yeah, the first three days, I didn't feel any of that.
00:22You know, I played with Gary yesterday.
00:25You know, Gary being close to here, they were really cheering for him.
00:27But I felt, you know, equally as much love.
00:31And then today, yeah, I mean, I think there's two things.
00:34They wanted Rory.
00:35And then, you know, if you bet on Rory, he had better, you know, you get better return on your
00:41money.
00:41And so I think that's some things that happen in golf where guys I think some of the rooting against
00:48is because of the betting.
00:51But, yeah, I mean, even with that, they still treated me great.
00:54And I just think, I mean, Rory's earned the right to be a fan favorite.
00:58So, you know, I embraced it.
01:01I've kind of been the underdog in all of my wins.
01:03And I've just accepted that and enjoy that moment.
01:07Everybody, Doug, you have a little?
01:08I mean, if they're cheering for the other guy at the President's Cup, we have a problem, don't we?
01:12Yeah, if I don't get love at the President's Cup as a USA guy, then, I don't know, I might
01:18move to Mexico or something.
01:19I mean, I don't know.
01:20I mean, I'm not going to die.
01:20I don't know.
