00:00We have a question here about Shoffley can't lay the question being surprised to not see Xander and Pat going
00:09out together tomorrow and the pairing we were just showing you know put it back up in a second here
00:12of course is Cam Young and Xander Shoffley and I wonder how you think that pairing is going to gel
00:17because of course Cam Young was off to one of the hottest starts of anybody this season wins a players
00:21championship but then the putting stats kind of dipped the second half of the season and Xander Shoffley had a
00:27solid season but you know again
00:29I don't know how you I don't know how you chalk up Xander season at large without a win and
00:34you know 2025 I'm not saying we gave him a pass but he was definitely recovering from that rib cage
00:39injury for a large portion of the season and so that that kind of I don't know if it's a
00:43prove it pairing but just what you make of the way those two could gel and how they could bring
00:47out the best in each other well they they definitely have we have the national anthem being sung in opera
00:54style on the first seed practicing for tomorrow this is great I hope y'all can hear this we
01:00let's take our hats off here
01:03well said we have we have the we have the national anthem going in the background we have uh we
01:10have
01:10planes going on it's very cold out here this is like shades of this is shades of last year at
01:16Bethpage Black
01:16where I mean we couldn't have enough layers on out there when the wind was whipping but I but I
01:21you know
01:21but I love this dude I mean this is Chicago windy city uh it's just nice to be here it's
01:27nice to have a good
01:27location and preview the whole thing well let's go back to that second match and on paper it feels
01:32like Cameron Young and Xander Schauffele just have a huge advantage Hideki Matsuyama we we I think this
01:39golf course is going to really require precision iron play Rio Hisatsune is a very good ball striker
01:44uh but it's his first time going in this event how is he gonna how is he gonna play uh
01:49how are his nerves
01:50gonna be is is it just gonna be Hideki's Matsuyama's ball if it is then uh that's gonna be a
01:56tough
01:57match for them to win hey shout out to Marcus Rainwater this guy's one of our OGs just uh hey
02:01we're we are we are pumped to be live with you all uh this is this again like we we
02:05would love we do it
02:06more often you know the Tracy Beals of the world we need them in play to help to help us
02:11get the the
02:12infrastructure we need to go live uh let's go to match three here smiley which is Corey Connors and
02:19Nico Echeverria shout out team strikes on against Justin Thomas and Jackson Koivin and when when they
02:25announced Jack they said Jackson Koivin smiley was look at the podium was like punched him in the arm
02:29we got our pairing we got the one we wanted that one I cannot wait to see how those two
02:34interact
02:35this is a spark plug pairing and I think I think Nico Echeverria is going to be the spark plug
02:41for the
02:42international team mentioned Tom Kim at Quail Hollow Nico is going to be a problem and a problem as
02:48in I think the Americans are going to be annoyed like just a guy that's going to fist pump like
02:52crazy he's going to lose his mind and he's going to absolutely try to get in the head of the
02:57other
02:57team and we need JT's not going to put up with it he's going to be it's going to make
03:02him really well
03:03he's not going to put up meaning like it's going to make him go into JT stealth mode and Koivin's
03:08just
03:08like where what is going on and like so let me ask you that that's so funny because if you're
03:13talking about those two guys Nico and JT Corey Connors pretty chill guy Jackson Quinn pretty like
03:18how do those guys react to everything happening around them yeah Koivin and Connors are they
03:23honestly those two are just so chill and JT is just he's the American spark plug Nico is going to
03:30be
03:31that along with Tom Kim for the international team I love that Nico's on this team I think people are
03:36going to learn a whole lot about him as a player I know he's he's up for the challenge he's
03:41a he's a
03:42streaky iron player and if his iron players going this is a good course for him now he lacks a
03:47little bit
03:47in the kind of the distance off the tee and so he's going to have to really rely on that
03:51that that really
03:52solid iron play which I know he has but dude it's the chipping and the putting the putting like you
03:57got to make putts to win matches Nico can make putts I think he's a guy Nico's a guy that
04:02I think
04:02can give you four matches I really think he's a guy that uh Jeff might see like if especially if
04:08they go win that match you could see Nico be going out uh also in the afternoon I wonder I
04:12wonder
04:13if Ben Grass soft this week he's in the he's in the diamond or the xv ball the z star
04:17he threw a ball
04:18like under my foot today I didn't look so I don't know man you could have had some intrepid reporting
04:22uh I should know the answer but I can't remember
04:24you
