WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.399
<v Speaker 1>All right, everybody knows the results of the Masters from

2
00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:05.919
<v Speaker 1>Sunday that Roy McElroy won, But what's kind of bubbled

3
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:09.679
<v Speaker 1>up to the surface is how emotional this victory was

4
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:12.919
<v Speaker 1>for Roy McElroy. And I'm gonna be honest, I did

5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>not get emotional watching Roy win the Masters.

6
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:17.679
<v Speaker 2>Because you had a wager elsewhere.

7
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:27.559
<v Speaker 1>Funny you would say that, but it got you right.

8
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.000
<v Speaker 2>It's so yeah, and it's funny. And we've we've got

9
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.439
<v Speaker 2>someone special on the line here too. We'll get to

10
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:35.320
<v Speaker 2>that in a second. But I I have not watched

11
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 2>any of a golf tournament in probably a decade really, honestly,

12
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:45.039
<v Speaker 2>like a decade. And you know, we were we were

13
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:47.799
<v Speaker 2>out on the lake. My daughter had some clients for

14
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.039
<v Speaker 2>awake surfing lessons and they were at big golf fans

15
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 2>and they just that's all they were talking about, was

16
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:55.960
<v Speaker 2>going to go go back and watch see if Rory

17
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:58.759
<v Speaker 2>McElroy can win, because he had a big lead at

18
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.240
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of the day. And I was like, you

19
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.359
<v Speaker 2>know what, I think, I'm gonna turn that on. They

20
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:06.200
<v Speaker 2>got me really interested in the story, you know, the

21
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Grand Slam thing. Kind of a dry spell. Again, I

22
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.680
<v Speaker 2>haven't watched golf in a decade. I watched the last

23
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.560
<v Speaker 2>six holes and then then the playoff, and the boy,

24
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:19.959
<v Speaker 2>the Masters is amazing at pulling you in for a

25
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 2>while and it doesn't even look real. I'm like, am

26
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.519
<v Speaker 2>I looking at a real place? Is there a big

27
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.280
<v Speaker 2>bubble over this? And I got so into it and

28
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 2>my wife walks in. She knows I don't watch golf,

29
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 2>and she goes, are you crying? I was like, well, yes,

30
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:44.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe a little bit, but it's just the power of sports.

31
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 2>It's just and just that I don't know.

32
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:52.159
<v Speaker 3>I was boohooing yeah again, just thinking about it. You

33
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:52.799
<v Speaker 3>weren't alone.

34
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:58.079

<v Speaker 1>Rich Beam joins us. And what's interesting, Rich, I want

42
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 1>you to tell everybody. Rich works for Sky Sports, which

43

<v Speaker 1>is the UK sports channel in the UK for the unwashed,

44
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.599
<v Speaker 1>the UK United Kingdom. You may know it is England,

45
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 1>and uh, he does. He's a he's an analyst on

46
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>the game. And he sits next to some big names

47
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>in golf. One of them was Nick Faldo. While they're

48
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>calling the Masters for everybody in the UK uh as

49
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.719
<v Speaker 1>they're watching it. It was Sunday night when they were

50
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 1>watching it. But he told me that Nick Faldo came

51
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.120
<v Speaker 1>to broke down in tears watching this. Rich tell us

52
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:52.520
<v Speaker 1>about it.

53
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:58.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and yes, massive fans of you as always. I mean,

54
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 4>I'm just I love you guys. Got the band back together, right,

55
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, so I'm sitting there next to you and Murray,

56
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 4>who's basically our Jim. Nancy kind of sets up the

57
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 4>rest of us. And it was myself and Nick Faldo

58
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.120
<v Speaker 4>in commentary and when you know, and Nick had set

59
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 4>up a couple of things beautifully. In fact, he said,

60
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 4>you know, I bet you when Rory McElroy, if Rory

61
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.439
<v Speaker 4>McRory wins us on the seventi second, he's going to

62
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 4>collapse on the ground, collapse into tears. Well, obviously it

63
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:29.840
<v Speaker 4>went into a playoff, but sure enough, after he made it,

64
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 4>he collapsed on the ground. Rory did, and and Nick

65
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:38.439
<v Speaker 4>has never been shy of words, right, he's he brings

66
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 4>a lot of great opinions insights into the game. But

67
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 4>literally he stopped talking, and I was kind of looking

68
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 4>at him a little strange, and I kind of thought,

69
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.680
<v Speaker 4>wait a second, where his eyes getting a little watery.

70
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 4>I know there's allergies here, but I mean, and he

71
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.719
<v Speaker 4>literally he couldn't speak. His voice was breaking up. And

72
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.280
<v Speaker 4>then all of a sudden, my co host or you

73
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.759
<v Speaker 4>and Murray the host, he's his voice starts breaking up.

74
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:03.240
<v Speaker 5>So I started breaking up.

75
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm going We're just three grown men that are just

76
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 4>set there in a bond of tears. And I think

77
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:13.759
<v Speaker 4>the reason, you know, for us and even for Nick,

78
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.360
<v Speaker 4>more than anything else, is because the fact that you know,

79
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 4>we saw what this golf, what this game can do

80
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.360
<v Speaker 4>to you, like it had broken Rory down many many times.

81
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.680
<v Speaker 4>He famously lost the US Open last year to Bryson d. Chambeau,

82
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 4>and he talked about going up to New York, putting

83
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.959
<v Speaker 4>on his headphones and literally just disappearing in the city

84
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 4>where you know, most people wouldn't know who he is,

85
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.279
<v Speaker 4>and you know, he talks about it. And this was

86
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.439
<v Speaker 4>his twelfth attempt at winning the Masters, which would have

87
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:45.680
<v Speaker 4>completed the career Grand Slam, and if you watched the

88
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 4>entire day yesterday, you couldn't have predicted what was going

89
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 4>to happen. Rory went from two up to one down

90
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:55.879
<v Speaker 4>after two holes, and then to four up and then

91
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.399
<v Speaker 4>had at one point in time he was seven ahead

92
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:00.759
<v Speaker 4>of Justin Rose and and then all of a sudden

93
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.439
<v Speaker 4>he collapses. Roy does and then comes back again. It

94
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 4>was the strangest thing I'd ever seen. But I have

95
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 4>to admit I am overjoyed not only in him winning,

96
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:12.920
<v Speaker 4>but I called you, Sandy last night and told you

97
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.360
<v Speaker 4>that could have been the coolest thing I've ever been

98
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:15.920
<v Speaker 4>a part of.

99
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Speaker 5>And I was so proud to be a part of

100
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.120
<v Speaker 5>it because it was epic.

101
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And Tricia, I'm curious.

102
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 1>I want you to chime in it, because Tricia and

103
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I watched it Sunday night together and she was all

104
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:28.079
<v Speaker 1>into it.

105
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:29.519
<v Speaker 3>You never watched golf.

106
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 1>What was it that drug you into the loud cheers

107
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and the clapping and the happy for Roy when he won.

108
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.639
<v Speaker 3>Well, I don't know. I was watching it, first of all.

109
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.480
<v Speaker 6>Excuse me. I saw the clip of McElroy's four year

110
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 6>old daughter Poppy sinking that long put, which was all

111
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.519
<v Speaker 6>over social media, so that kind of honed me in

112
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:56.560
<v Speaker 6>on him. But other than that, I mean just watching

113
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.560
<v Speaker 6>it and like the Master's really good at building up

114
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 6>this system. And I like Michael Ray. I've seen him before.

115
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:07.560
<v Speaker 6>He just seems like a good guy, right, And you

116
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.600
<v Speaker 6>could see his emotions on his face when he was happy.

117
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.319
<v Speaker 3>With the crowd too, right, Tricia, the crowd wild.

118
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 6>But as you could see, I remember I told you

119
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.120
<v Speaker 6>Sanders like, oh my god, I was like, he's holding

120
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.319
<v Speaker 6>on too tight, Like his face is all squinched up

121
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:23.319
<v Speaker 6>when he had when he bogeyed. Then you could see

122
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:25.199
<v Speaker 6>how happy he was when he got a birdie, Like

123
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 6>he wasn't just stoic. You could feel the emotions with him.

124
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 6>I think that's part of what sucked me into it.

125
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:31.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

126
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.480
<v Speaker 2>One of my theories too is again I haven't watched

127
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:38.920
<v Speaker 2>any golf in a long time. The Masters is unbelievable

128
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:43.240
<v Speaker 2>on the coverage, and uh, it just ropes you in

129
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.519
<v Speaker 2>like a movie in a way. It really got me.

130
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:47.600
<v Speaker 3>And they don't.

131
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.839
<v Speaker 2>They don't lose your attention breaking it up with Viagra ads,

132
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, So I thank you for.

133
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 3>That, But I was rich.

134
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Rich called me Sunday night at the end of the

135
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 1>tournament and he was in his car leaving Augusta National,

136
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.600
<v Speaker 1>and as we were talking, I thought, One, this guy

137
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>sounds exhausted, and two, I think he's gonna cry when

138
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I was.

139
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.160
<v Speaker 3>When he was telling me, you were so wrapped up

140
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 3>in it.

141
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.519
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, you know better than anybody having played

142
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>golf at the absolute highest level, and one at the

143
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>highest level, that man, that's got to be tough to

144
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>take when.

145
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.519
<v Speaker 3>You lose at the highest level too, you know what

146
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean.

147
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.319
<v Speaker 1>So to see him win and a guy like you

148
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.959
<v Speaker 1>said they've been kind of knocked down and dragged out

149
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>and threw it for the last eleven years, I can

150
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.639
<v Speaker 1>see why as a player you definitely were happy for him.

151
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:45.120
<v Speaker 5>Most definitely.

152
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:49.160
<v Speaker 4>And I'll and you guys both know my wife Sarah,

153
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:51.000
<v Speaker 4>and I'll give you one even better. After I got

154
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:54.360
<v Speaker 4>the phone with you, Sandy, I called my wife Sarah

155
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:55.399
<v Speaker 4>and I told her kind of what.

156
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:57.480
<v Speaker 5>I was kind of going through.

157
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.399
<v Speaker 4>She goes, you see, look what you've put me through

158
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.079
<v Speaker 4>for fourteen years when I was out for you around

159
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:08.639
<v Speaker 4>you know, finally I finally kind of understood it all

160
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 4>because I think as a player, you're always rooting for

161
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:13.160
<v Speaker 4>the good.

162
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:14.480
<v Speaker 5>Stories and you're room for the good guys.

163
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:17.199
<v Speaker 4>I mean nothing against Bryson, but to complete the career

164
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.199
<v Speaker 4>Grand Slam, something that he's been trying to do for

165
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:22.720
<v Speaker 4>eleven years, and he's prepared for it so many different ways.

166
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 4>And this is a big deal because he now just

167
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:29.600
<v Speaker 4>becomes the sixth male golfer to ever complete the career

168
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.440
<v Speaker 4>Grand Slam, And so it's a very If it is

169
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:33.360
<v Speaker 4>a sporting.

170
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:36.440
<v Speaker 5>Feat, it is massive. This is a huge deal.

171
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:38.960
<v Speaker 4>And so to you know, to be a part of it,

172
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 4>to watch somebody. I remember when Tiger did it back

173
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.519
<v Speaker 4>in two thousand and I think it was two thousand,

174
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.639
<v Speaker 4>it was almost just like one of those things that

175
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.279
<v Speaker 4>it's inevitable, right because he is so great and he

176
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.879
<v Speaker 4>just breathed right through it. But it took Rory eleven times.

177
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.879
<v Speaker 4>It took him on his twelfth try to finally do it,

178
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.000
<v Speaker 4>and he'd had a little bit of hard break. He

179
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.879
<v Speaker 4>famously went into the last round in twenty eleven with

180
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 4>the lead and then kind of fell apart. But just

181
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 4>to see him go through this time and time again,

182
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:15.120
<v Speaker 4>you're just like, holy cow, I mean, like, how much

183
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.919
<v Speaker 4>can this guy take? And then to watch him have

184
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.480
<v Speaker 4>this great lead, and then all of a sudden on

185
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:25.679
<v Speaker 4>thirteen and fourteen it slips away, and then he produces

186
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.679
<v Speaker 4>some great shots on fifteen and seventeen, and then lets

187
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 4>it slip away on eighteen again. And it was just

188
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.080
<v Speaker 4>the most roller coaster of emotions because you want him

189
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:35.759
<v Speaker 4>to win, you want to witness history.

190
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:36.399
<v Speaker 5>Want to be a part of it.

191
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:38.919
<v Speaker 4>But the way that he did it, You're not going

192
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.600
<v Speaker 4>to get any better theater than that, I can promise

193
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:43.240
<v Speaker 4>you hardly in any sport.

194
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:43.879
<v Speaker 3>Rich.

195
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:47.279
<v Speaker 1>I just looked it up. You know this, but others

196
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.240
<v Speaker 1>might won't be curious. Rich's best finished at the master's

197
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.159
<v Speaker 1>fifteenth place. That's prett damn good man.

198
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:53.279
<v Speaker 3>It's pretty cool.

199
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:55.519
<v Speaker 4>It was pretty good that my first year there, and

200
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.919
<v Speaker 4>then after that I figured out exactly how hard it was,

201
00:09:59.159 --> 00:09:59.879
<v Speaker 4>and I kind of.

202
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.240
<v Speaker 3>That, you know, part of it.

203
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.159
<v Speaker 2>What was going through my head watching it is you know,

204
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:09.519
<v Speaker 2>like Sandy and I were at the Longhorn two thousand

205
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.879
<v Speaker 2>and five Championship, one of the greatest moments in sports,

206
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.960
<v Speaker 2>but not not emotional like this. But what's so different

207
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.279
<v Speaker 2>and Rich you can you can elaborate on this is it?

208
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.879
<v Speaker 2>It is a it's all on your shoulders, your shoulders,

209
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's all in your head. It is not a

210
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:29.360
<v Speaker 2>team sport. Yeah, where the team sports you can always go, well,

211
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.279
<v Speaker 2>there's there's a you know, so many variables with so

212
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:36.000
<v Speaker 2>many different players and moments. This is all on you

213
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:40.039
<v Speaker 2>and the the mental game with it. I mean, it's

214
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:43.639
<v Speaker 2>just to expand on that. And then part two of

215
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.759
<v Speaker 2>it is do do most golfers see therapists regularly? To

216
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:49.639
<v Speaker 2>manage that.

217
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:51.799
<v Speaker 3>Great question?

218
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.600
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, I'll answer the second question absolutely, because it's not

219
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.320
<v Speaker 4>just managing what you're doing in there, it's you know,

220
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:01.519
<v Speaker 4>it's managing the scrutiny that you have other people. I

221
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:03.840
<v Speaker 4>can't imagine what Rory would have you know, what he

222
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:06.080
<v Speaker 4>would have done today if he had lost, if he

223
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:09.519
<v Speaker 4>had not wanted after control the questions that you have

224
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:12.720
<v Speaker 4>to answer to the media afterwards if you choose to

225
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:14.720
<v Speaker 4>talk to them, which I think he would have. But

226
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.159
<v Speaker 4>the devastation that he must have felt having it so

227
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.240
<v Speaker 4>closely in his grass only to watch it slip away.

228
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:24.080
<v Speaker 4>I think that would have been like I wouldn't I

229
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.440
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't have been surprised if he just says, you know,

230
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 4>I guys, I'm gonna take a year off I'm not.

231
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.679
<v Speaker 4>I'm tired of this because it truly is a mental

232
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:37.879
<v Speaker 4>beatdown and to have it in your graphs like that JB.

233
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 4>And then and to lose it like he did last

234
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:42.559
<v Speaker 4>year in the US, so that was soul crushing. But

235
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:45.039
<v Speaker 4>you're right, it's just you and your caddy out there.

236
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:47.600
<v Speaker 4>I used to I used to say, you know, nobody

237
00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:49.679
<v Speaker 4>really cares anything that I do on the golf cour

238
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:51.840
<v Speaker 4>except for me, my caddy, my wife, and my accountant.

239
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:55.080
<v Speaker 4>That's the only three people that really really you know

240
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:58.240
<v Speaker 4>what I shoot. And so but it's just it's much

241
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.399
<v Speaker 4>more than that, because you especially with a guy like

242
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 4>Rory who wears his emotions on his sleeves, he's carrying

243
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.759
<v Speaker 4>the weight of the world with him because he knows

244
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:10.600
<v Speaker 4>not only he's not doing it for just himself obviously,

245
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.799
<v Speaker 4>but what it means to you know, his family. His

246
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:17.279
<v Speaker 4>mom and dad famously had to work. His dad worked

247
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:21.519
<v Speaker 4>two jobs in order to afford what he did to

248
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:25.519
<v Speaker 4>in golf, whether it's travel, equipment, lessons, things like that.

249
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:29.000
<v Speaker 4>So mom and dad sacrifice a lot and to be

250
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:31.799
<v Speaker 4>able to repay them in spades like he already has.

251
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:36.120
<v Speaker 5>But to complete the career, Grand Slam. That's just.

252
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.399
<v Speaker 4>It's a heroic story and I just you know, the

253
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:43.960
<v Speaker 4>hard part about it all. I like you said, Jab,

254
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.840
<v Speaker 4>sometimes you do have you know, you have to answer

255
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:48.600
<v Speaker 4>to other people because there'd be a lot of questions

256
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:50.039
<v Speaker 4>are going to be asked if he did not win,

257
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:51.039
<v Speaker 4>and that would.

258
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.399
<v Speaker 1>Have been just crippling for those of you who may

259
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.279
<v Speaker 1>not know what the career Grand Slam is. That's winning

260
00:12:55.360 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>all four of golf's major championships, the Masters, the PGA Championship,

261
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.039
<v Speaker 1>the United States Open and the Open or the British

262
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Open in a career. Only six people have done it,

263
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:09.200
<v Speaker 1>and that's why this story with Roy McElroy is such

264
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.480
<v Speaker 1>a such a big deal. So Rich, thanks for joining

265
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:17.879
<v Speaker 1>us today. It's always fun talking to you. And safe travels.

266
00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:19.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you do it. What do you travel?

267
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Forty forty weeks a year something like that.

268
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:23.919
<v Speaker 5>I travel about thirty five weeks a year.

269
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:25.919
<v Speaker 4>I'm trying to cut back a little bit, but yeah, sis,

270
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.200
<v Speaker 4>thirty five weeks a year. But I mean, the great

271
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.360
<v Speaker 4>thing about it is I get to see a lot

272
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.320
<v Speaker 4>of this country. And the drive from Augusta to to

273
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.679
<v Speaker 4>Hilton Head is it's very quiet, which is good and

274
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.080
<v Speaker 4>bad because you're alone with your thoughts and all the

275
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:43.600
<v Speaker 4>people that are living up there.

276
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.080
<v Speaker 5>But it's it's actually pretty serene.

277
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 4>You get three and a half hours of just kind

278
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:50.200
<v Speaker 4>of quiet time, no cell phones because there's nothing out

279
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:51.600
<v Speaker 4>there for service.

280
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:56.320
<v Speaker 3>But and then those damn DJs call you right in

281
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:56.759
<v Speaker 3>the morning.

282
00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:00.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, I literally have skipped about five phone

283
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:01.919
<v Speaker 4>calls because I'm like, even if I answered, they're not

284
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.440
<v Speaker 4>gonna be able to hear me because I've got one

285
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:06.559
<v Speaker 4>bar and it's it's fading fast. But no, it's always

286
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.279
<v Speaker 4>great talking to you guys. I've obviously been a massive

287
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.399
<v Speaker 4>fan of the JB and Sandy Show since the day

288
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.919
<v Speaker 4>that I put in Austin, So I'm glad that you

289
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:15.440
<v Speaker 4>guys are are doing your thing again.

290
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.360
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate it. Rich, Rich, hang on, don't
