00:00It's fun heading into the tournament, which is a week that we all cherish the most, like it's the
00:09start of the major championship series. History's made there every year and to be a part of the
00:15past history with the three of us having won there and knowing that every time we go back,
00:19we're part of the history and we get to partake in everything that transpires that week and the
00:24way that they treat the past champions, which is better than any tournament in the world. It's
00:29just a special feeling to be a part of that. It's almost a religious experience every time you set
00:35foot on Augusta National. Not a lot of people have been able to get over the hundred major mark,
00:42so it's obviously an honor and something that I'm super proud of and I'm just looking forward
00:50to going there, really enjoy the week, no matter what happens game-wise. Obviously,
00:55I'm gonna give it everything I have, but just really cherish the week, really enjoy with the
01:01family and all my partners out there and just try to have the best week possible. I mean,
01:09I learned a lot. I'm not gonna share everything, can't give away all the secrets, but I've got a
01:14good idea how to play that play, so I finished second twice in 19 and then two years ago. I feel
01:21like I've got a good understanding of the golf course, how to play it for certain pins, different
01:25wind directions, things like that, so I just got to go out and execute. It's point-blank. You got
01:29to play good first off and then give yourself a chance with nine holes to go. Every year that
01:34you go to Augusta and the Masters, you're learning more and more and that place is a special place
01:42that requires a lot of patience because you're not gonna get it all the time. Your first time
01:46around and second, third, fourth, it takes time to understand the nuances of that place and it's
01:52really about playing a strategic game out there and getting yourself into position to make birdies
01:57and give yourself a chance to win come that last nine holes of the tournament, so it's a big
02:02patience game for me.
