00:00And how many times have you done that track and been on the bag at Augusta?
00:07And I've said this a number of times on this show,
00:09that there are guys that play this course well for, like, life.
00:14They know this golf course, and they know how to play it.
00:17They know where to hit it.
00:18They know where to run it.
00:19They know the angles.
00:21They know the greens.
00:22They know the speed.
00:24And they know exactly what they're doing.
00:26Guys that are even old, even Bernie and Freddie,
00:29they still know how to play that golf course.
00:32How many times have you seen it?
00:33And how many times have you done the bag at Augusta?
00:37Seven.
00:39So, yeah, I had five with Kenny Perry, one with Nick Faldo, and one with Len Matisse.
00:44So, yeah, that was some fun stuff.
00:47And I actually got shorted on two others that I qualified for.
00:51Kenny got hurt one year, and then I won with Chez Revy,
00:55but I didn't make it calendar-wise to the Masters.
00:58I got relieved in my duties.
00:59But, anyway, you hit it on the dot.
01:02The uniqueness of that place is that, you know what,
01:04it's the only major that you play the same course.
01:07So everybody gains the knowledge, and everybody piles it up,
01:10and everybody stores all the memories and all that,
01:13and that's what makes it such a cool place.
01:15So you've seen guys, you said it to me in the break,
01:19that seven shots is not that big of a deal at that place.
01:23No, it really isn't.
01:26I mean, you know, look at 96, and, you know, Norman was walking away with a place,
01:31and Faldo just came out and just stomped, you know, just took over,
01:34and he just took it right to him, and it's one of the biggest comebacks ever,
01:38you know, like a 12-shot difference in score.
01:41But, I mean, yeah, it's just, it's such a fun, it's a course with a lot of edges,
01:45and I can say yesterday from watching it, I mean, they really,
01:49they gave those greens a real good haircut.
01:51I mean, they were really a lot faster than they were any of the first three days,
01:55and that's why you saw these guys jacking putts.
01:58How many times have you seen that Rays Creek come into play
02:02on a Saturday and a Sunday at Augusta?
02:05It's crazy.
02:06It's like the thing's got magnets in it.
02:09It is.
02:10I mean, I had, unfortunately, my guy, I was there one year with Kenny Perry,
02:14and we were running up the leaderboard, and we drove it down 13,
02:17and we had a six iron into 13.
02:19This was back before they pushed the tee back,
02:22and Kenny pounded it out there pretty good.
02:24He hit the prettiest six iron going right at the pin.
02:26We're, like, in fifth or sixth place,
02:28and the thing just fell out of the air and into the creek.
02:31And you just look at each other, and you just, you know, I mean, it's,
02:35I almost have said that, you know, some of those holes are haunted,
02:37and I say that jokingly, but, I mean, it's crazy, the, you know,
02:41the stuff that happens there, and you saw a whole bunch of it yesterday.
