00:00But I continue to express on this show, and I know you've heard me how much I love the open.
00:06The open to me is so much better, it's not even funny.
00:09Like, for my money, with the wind, the rain, the cold, the weather, the Lynx golf, the difference in courses year to year, where they move around in the bunkers, everything about it, the fescue, everything about it to me.
00:26I don't disagree that the Masters is special and magnificent.
00:31It's just, for me, the open makes, it'll make a man out of you playing golf in that place.
00:38Like, I mean, honestly, it's just so different.
00:40What was it like for you to do the bag there as opposed to Augusta?
00:45Well, I mean, you know, you're exactly right.
00:48It's where golf was invented.
00:49So, I mean, it's not American golf over there.
00:51You have to play the golf, as they say, along the ground, and you've got to be real creative.
00:57And it's just, it's crazy, like you said.
01:00I mean, they do play different venues.
01:02You do have to learn those venues.
01:03And the weather, you can never count on it.
01:05I mean, it is its own animal, and the Masters is its own.
01:10The U.S. Open, we know all that.
01:12But, I mean, it takes a lot of talent and guts to win over there.
01:16And, I mean, Rory already did that.
01:19So, I mean, you know, and even Phil, they never thought Phil could do it.
01:22And Phil actually buckled down and got it late in his career.
01:25But, I mean, St. Andrews, let's face it, that's where these guys, honestly, they all want to win there.
01:30And you heard Rory yesterday in his interview, it really hurt to lose to Smith there a couple years ago.
01:36So, you know, yeah, you're right.
01:38I mean, it's fun, and the fans over there, they're so knowledgeable.
01:42They know the game.
01:43It's a complete, I mean, it's crazy.
01:46And it is going to be really chaos this year when they go to Ireland and Rory's just won.
01:51Well, and he's, you know, at that place, at Portrush, I mean, that's going to be insanity.
