Before he set off for Torrey Pines, Max sat down with Olivia to break down the game of golf today, and how his season has shaken out so far. Some call Max “Golf’s Twitter King,” he shares with us how his self-deprecating tweets have won the hearts of golf fans all across the Twittersphere. Plus, you’ll hear the story of how one lucky fan convinced him into a round of golf.

Intro

Speaker 1

From the King of sports Books comes the key sports podcast Unleashed, presented by the MGM. Here's your host, Olivia Harland Decker. Hello and welcome back to Unleashed by bet MGM, the King of Sports Books. I'm Olivia Harland Decker and I'm glad to have you with us. Another week and it's a big week in sports. The tennis French Open just wrapped up, the golf US Open starts this weekend from the South course of Tory Pines, and of course

Max Homa

NBA Playoffs, which we always give you a little juice on. The conference semifinals wrapping up this weekend in the NHL, the Stanley Cup Semifinals, College World Series, European Championship in soccer. Oh my gosh, it's a lot, and I'm excited to bring on bet MGMs expert Peter Andrew. He'll be on later in the show to break down Betty nods and tell you how to navigate everything in the world of sports gambling this week. But first it is Golf's US

Open week, so let's turn our focus there. It's the third major of the year, of course there are four, and most recently we saw Phil Mickelson win the PGA Championship at Kiowa Island, making history at age fifty. Well, guess what, he turns fifty one on Wednesday, and there's some hope and buzz around him. Should he win two in a row in his fifties, the second one giving him his career Grand Slam. Oh my gosh, start writing the book now. It's going to be one of the

best stories in sports. Also, brooks Kepka is coming off a missed cut. He's looking to win his third US Open in five years. He's just thirty one years old. That would be monumental and the heavy favorite John Ram he came down with COVID earlier this month and had to withdraw from the Memorial Tournament, which he was leading by six strokes. He passed COVID product call. He's at Tory Pines on time, practicing. He's ready to go. He's one here in his plus one thousand to win the tournament. Well,

that's enough for me. Let's hear from someone who was actually playing in the tournament. It's Maxhoma. He's a national champion from cal He got his first PGA Tour victory at the Wells Fargo Championship two years ago and most recently he won at the beginning of the year at the Genesis Invitational. We caught up with him right before he left for San Diego. He's super interesting. Our conversation kind of went everywhere you are going to want to

listen start to finish. So without further ado, let's bring in Maxima. Maxima is a pro on the PGA Tour. He's a two time tour winner, podcast host, hilarious social media personality, some say Golf's Twitter king, which what a title. And our guest this week on Unleashed max Welcome to the show. Yeah, thank you for me. We're so excited you're on. You are so busy. But I've got to ask of one thing that recently came up on Twitter. A fan tweeting you for twenty five straight days to

play golf with him. You finally cracked. I'm curious, have you played yet? Are you gonna wait till the season is done? And why did you crack? Yeah? I think I cracked because I'm a bit of a pushover and you have a bit more of a backbone. Um, But yeah, we talked about playing. I told him might need to wait till the season kind of dies down. We're in the thick of it at the moment, but I just think,

you know, it's harmless, it's fun. You know, what could go wrong and I might need to show up with some kind of security or at least you know, right my last will and testament before Ley. Now, I'm just kidding. He seems like a really nice kid. It'll be fun. I'm hoping to figure out a way to raise money for charity somehow along the way, so I'm looking forward to it. But we're gonna wait a little bit, so we we both have a little bit of time off.

That's pretty cool. It's very allah Kylie Jenner, who I think what to prom with Someone on Twitter who asked, so you and Kylie Gender have a lot in common? Yeah, that might be the only thing we have in common. I know you are though. You're very funny on Twitter, very self deprecating, which I think people find so endearing. One of my favorite tweets I'm gonna quote this one is you tweeted I had a few caddies hit me

up recently hoping to team up. They heard they usually get weekends off, which is apparently a great selling point. Why do you think You're humor resonates so well with people. I don't know. I think everybody likes to laugh. I like to laugh. I don't take myself super seriously. I take what I do seriously, but outside of that, it's I know, everybody's living their own life, everybody's going through their own stuff. So it's like, you know, if I take myself too seriously to the to the public, you

know what, what, what do they really care? And I wouldn't either if I was them. So I just try and I don't know, I just I just try and understand that, you know, a smile here and there, if you could make that happen is really cool. And yeah, I don't mind being self def getting at times. Sometimes I went back and read through some of those and realized I was overdoing it to the dutchriment of my

own psyche. You probably, but it's worked out now. Trying to find a little balance between self deprecating and some form of confidence. Well, I assume you're feeling pretty confident right now. You're fresh off a top ten finish at the Memorial Tournament. What's feeling strongest in your game right now or when you're at your level? Can Uven pinpoint something that was a great segue. By the way, I would like to get better though I'm a professional, Max,

it shows, it shows right now, right now. Yeah, I guess I'll say something. I'm just a professional. At the moment.

I feel like I'm going through a routine that I've kind of built and come up with for myself, and I'm sticking to it, trusting, Like in the process of that, when I'm playing well, it does seem like my mind is quite calm and I'm very accepting, so like, you know, I know at all times, and if I hit a bad shot here, I'll be okay, and I'll hit a good one after that to kind of bounce back and understand that there's a bigger like there's a grand scheme

to the game of golf, especially a tournament that one shot can't ruin. So that that's been going really well. And then obviously the physical parts of my game this year have been all pretty darn good. There haven't been too many big holes, so even if something is a little bit down, something else is carrying it. So it's just been that part of the season has been fun. And then yeah, just adding a bit of that mental fortitude and understanding a bit more has helped me play

a lot more consistently. And yeah, I had a good week last week, and that's kind of what it felt like a little more slow motion a little bit. I just felt like, again I was just accepting of what was going to happen, and that seems to always help me play place of my best golf. Kind of in that vein, there's a phrase, good golf travels. I'm sure tennis players feel the same. You know, whatever it is, because it's so individual, what do you rely on in

pressure situations? Like do you believe that good golf travels? Yeah? For sure. Now you notice it more as you start to play professional golf. You have a I've got a lot of friends that I think are tremendous golfers, and you know, it just seems like they can't pinpoint either. When we get on the road, sometimes it just doesn't

seem to travel, and it's odd. I don't know how to quantify it, but I would say that, you know, for the guys on the PGA Tour, it obviously, you know, kind of translate to any city golf course wherever that you go. So yeah, when I'm in the heat of

the moment. I definitely try to lean on past memories of having success, and especially on courses that I I've played a lot, so I can kind of try to almost visualize the shot I've hit on my home course, and you kind of transplant that into the course I'm on at that moment and just make it feel a little bit more like I'm just going, you know, going

through the motions at home. But I guess you know, we've been or I've been doing this so long, a lot of it becomes second nature, so it's almost hard to pinpoint exactly how it works and how it comes about. But here and there, I'll definitely try, especially because my caddies from my hometown and we'll be like, hey, you know that shot we would hit on whole in Valencia. He'd like yeah, I was like, I kind of like

that type think. So that helps when you're nervous, just because you're trying to make it as as simple as possible, that visualization. We've had so many impressive people in different fields on this podcast, and I feel like that's just a common thread. I don't know, if you listen to any of Tony Gonzalez's podcast or read any of his books. I should he went to cal so I shouldn't. Maybe

I'll get on. Well, no, he his podcast is really good, but he always is talking about flow state and visualization. And he says, on the morning of a game, yeah I got into that. Yeah, Yeah, it's fascinating. He says, morning of a game, he'd wake up and truly in bed, like look at his hands and picture catching a football.

And I always think that that would apply even to like someone in business before they give a presentation, like imagining walking out of that conference room having just killed it, Like is that do you think something that you really take advantage of? That whole flow state and visualization. Yeah. My buddy and I started talking about this like a few months ago, and we talked, you know, we just he always writes hashtag flow when he texts me, because that's what we'd like to strive for, is just to

be able to go. I think it carries two things. One that you you kind of like you said, you you visualized it, you kind of already saw it and you feel it. But also the accepting part of after is that whatever comes in, nothing's gonna come into that world. So you know, if something bad happens, You're gonna keep flowing like nothing has changed and approach the next situation with the same amount of focus that you would have

had the bad thing not happened. But yeah, I think visualization in golf is really important when you're nervous or when you're seeing bad stuff kind of or feeling bad

stuff happen. So sometimes if I'm really really nervous over a shot and I feel like I'm seeing the ball, you know, I'm nervous about going in the water, I'm nervous about going in the in the sand or something, I like over visualize my golf ball flying in the air and I almost picture like a trail of it and like with a bright color, and it's just like, it's weird. How you if you see something happen over and over and over end when you're about to do it,

it's just like you're reacting. So to your point about business, it's like you have to you don't have to do do what I guess it helps to see it happen first, so then so then you know you can do it. This is gonna be super nerdy, But I'm not sure if you've ever seen Harry Potter. But Harry Potter, there's this scene where it's like some time travel bs and you know, he didn't know he could do something, but he realized at one point that it was him in the future, so we already knew we could do it,

so he just went and did it. And it's like, man, you have that in you all along. You could just have let it happen, but it's almost like we need to see ourselves be successful before we become successful. So that that's definitely a key that I think, at least it might were a lot of golfers use. So you're a Harry Potter and that analogy. I wish I was that cool, but yeah, maybe maybe sometimes here now I'm more I'm more wrong than Harry, but I'll take it

here and there. Okay, I love that. I kind of brought up tennis earlier, just that that always seems to be the most equivalent to golf from from my standpoint of where the type of people you're around where you're playing. Individual sport a lot of attention at a young age, I think is another equivalent of the two. How do you describe what that's like from a kid having success

individually as the stage continues to grow. Yeah, and again you're you're not on a team, you're not competing for a championship in that way, you know it's and then you want it all of course at cal Yeah, that it's really difficult. Getting to play high school golf and

college golf with the team does help. When you get out on your own, it's difficult because I feel like I've always been in a in a in a weird way like envous at times of other sports and other athletes because you know, let's just say, Mookie Bets for the Dodgers could go over four, have a bad game, but you know they could win, and you're you know, the day isn't ruined where if I play bad, it's bad that there's nothing that can help, that I can't

save myself with a partner. But at the same time, that means that, you know, I don't actually have to rely on anybody else to help me get to where I'm going. It's all on me and that manner two And I like that part, but it's a lot of pressure. But like you said, I think for tennis or for golf, you know we've been doing it so long you get so used to it. And I think the maturing process is understanding that you're going to have some bad days and it's going to feel like the world's coming down,

But it's not. Because everyone has a bad day here and there. It's just a little bit more under the microscope when it's just an individual sport. So it's tough. But I'll tell you, when you win or when you do something great, you know, it all falls back on you. That's when you realize that all the struggle parts are worth it. Absolutely. And probably it's annoying as a pro golfer because a lot of people do it amaturely. They do it with their friends on weekends. It's like a

treat to be able to go out in golf. I know, my husband and I that's like our favorite date. But the problem is is anyone who has a good round thinks that they're amazing and and can do it. And you watch on TV and you're probably like critiquing you know what clubs you're using even And I mean is that annoying? Like do people come up to you all the time and and talk golf as if they're at your level? Yeah? Times here and there, it's kind of

that's kind of the fun part. The only annoying part about like those people as I'm always so jealous that you guys that like that's the hobby, because I wish I had a hobby that was like outside and competitive, Yet you know I don't. It's always hard to have a hobby. So I'm always jealous. But yeah, I get it. You can drink at Yeah, you can drink at it like I can't. I don't get to do a whole

lot of that. But it's in golf because there's this connection that I've always said is even if you're somebody who's like a twenty handicap and you've never broke ninety before and you have a put on the last hole for eighty nine, you've probably felt the exact same level of nervous as a professional, you know, PGA tour players felt because it's all relative, so it's the same thing.

So I find that so cool. Now. Every once in a while when somebody goes, oh, man, I saw you hit that bad shot, it's like, yeah, well, you know, I don't. I don't have to tell you, man, try try my best out here. Yeah, I know, you can play pickup back, but it's not like you would ever be able to to Lebron James or something and related also, golf does have that opening, and I think that's cool

for the sport. Yeah, it's funny. These last couple of weeks especially, there's been a lot of attention on athletes mental health, but last couple of years, I feel like kind of Kevin Love got the conversation started. But Naomi Osaka is what I'm mentioning is withdrawing from the French Open after a news conference dispute. Do you think it's good for all professional athletes for these type of topics to be brought up more mainstream and how do you

think this is going to affect things moving forward? Yeah, I think it's really interesting. It's very noble of Naomi to do what she did. I do think that we have as athletes. I think you you have, especially someone like her who is clearly unbelievable, you kind of have an obligation to do these interviews. But at the same time, she has her right to say, you know what, I'm

not going to do it. And if she has to do with those repercussions or withdraw whatever it is, she understands that and I think it was very cool because I think that I think about all the time. Some players will have a bad week in golf, and I know that there may be going through a little something outside of the game of golf, family, whatever, You'll still see the same kind of negative attention towards them as far as like media or even fan engagement. And it's like, man,

like you don't understand people are in robots. I know I would probably look at somebody on baseball film why is he throwing it so bad? Or why why can't you touch today? And it's like, man, maybe some else is going on that's not great. So it's great of her to bring attention to the fact that not everybody is a perfect lovely person every day of the week. Now everybody's gonna be happy at all times, there's a

lot of stuff. I mean, she talked about anxiety of talking in public, and she's got millions of people with their eyes on her at all times. So it was great that she can bring that point to light because she's a tremendous athlete, but she's also just a person at the end of the day, and you know, if that happened more often, I think people would be more willing to seek maybe a little bit of help or at least feel like there's a little bit more of

a commonality to not feeling great all the time. That that was very cool. Yeah, I totally agree. It's great to have people even know the right verbiage to discuss these things with and it's huge. But with you, I mean, the field is so dense. When you get to the level you're at, it's so talented. So there's a lot

of ups and downs in your profession. So if you could go back to National champ at cal you were an all pack twelve player, your name, you know, was so relevant and there was so much promise, and to think of everywhere you've gone since then, what would you tell yourself, like holding that trophy, what would you go back and tell yourself. I'd probably tell myself that whatever next level you go to and for the rest of your life to always to always remember that I am

my favorite golfer. I love that because I think it's very easy to grow up and be around these people that you've watched and envy what they do, and at that moment, I'd be you know, I was holding a trophy for being you know, at that time kind of like the best player and call for the year kind of and or at least at that event, and I was at the top of you know, the college game

for a week and there will be nothing. I would imagine other people were envying something that I did, and I would be the first to say I lost that understanding for a while by looking around too much instead of putting my head down, loving who I am and how I play the game, and then just going to be in me until I'm done playing this game. So

I would, you know, I don't wish. I'm glad I learned this lesson, but whenever I think back to it, it's like, you know, put your chinna, put back your shoulders, stand up tall, and just say, you know, I think I'm the best one, and I love what I do and I'm just gonna go do it to the best of my abilities and not spend so much time looking around and wondering how these other people are doing what

they do. It's funny, my dad has told me almost word for word those same sentences just getting into even broadcasting. And I don't know if maybe down the line, that's something you want to do in golf, because I think you'd be really good at it, but it's such a paranoid business in our own right. So my dad always says, you know, never look sideways, put your head down, do the work, be a pro. And I feel like maybe you two aren't hoots on that one. Yeah, we talked

before this. Okay, Now I do have to mention you are a co host on your own podcast with Shane Bacon called Get a Grip, and it's kind of has the purpose of making light of a traditionally stuffy sport, and I think even in the bio of the podcast it says the public golf course of podcasts, which I really really appreciate. Tell me what this experience has been like for you. Has this been a challenge in any way or is it really natural? It is challenging in

the sense that is not where I'm comfortable. Shane is a pro and he makes it so easy. Yeah, it's been fun to have a little bit of a platform to talk about the weeks that I have on the course, and also so we can talk about some things that I know maybe are going to get misconstrued in the media for maybe some of the guys who want or who are struggling so I like that. It is a blast. I want golf to be more inclusive. I want more people to be interested in playing. And that's been the

joy of it all. Yeah, it's hard and scary. Shane does like almost all the work. He makes it easy for me. I'd show up and talk, but he, you know, he comes up with some great ideas and typically formats most of the show. And I just kind of am

a body. But no, I have a blast. It puts in and so much perspective how hard broadcasting is and commentating is, and you know, it's just it's amazing how professional everyone is that does it until your last point and the question before about how you know it's probably a paranoid thing to do because you're up there talking, you don't know, you don't have any reaction. It's not like being a comedian where someone will clap or laugh.

Would you say something funny? It is? It is really eye opening how you say something and then you wait later to see if anybody liked or didn't like what you said. And I don't know. It's a very interesting world and not one I don't think I'm super interested in getting too deep and I have a hard enough time with what I do. But it has been fun, and nowadays I guess it's like the thing to do is like, hey, I have a podcast, so believe me, I feel the same. This is my first round of

doing a podcast, having the time of my life. It's so fun. It feels like a break from work. But yeah, it's one of those things you're like, want of be a guest on my podcast. Everyone has a podcast, but we really really appreciate you being at everyone does so. I think my mom is about the star line, right. Yeah, it's been a lot of fun. Thank you, and thanks for all your conversation on mental health as well. I think in athletics that's something that needs to be a

conversation that has continued, so I appreciate your insight there. Yeah, of course, thank you so much, and for confirming that you are not Kylie Jenner or Harry Potter, although you have much much in common. Max. Thank you so much for joining us. Best of luck as you hit the road for three weeks in the middle of the golf season. Thank you again for your time. Thank you. Not a whole lot in common with them, but I'll take the little little thing all right. And coming up next, we

have Peter Andrew with our Lions Locke. We welcome back

Lion's Lock with Peter Andrue

Peter Andrew bet MGMs Betting Expert and we just kind of like to have months. We keep thinking him back. Peter, welcome back to the show. Thanks for having me. What a week does in terms of the NBA than a crazy couple of days, Oh, my gosh. Especially this past weekend, one of the biggest news out of the NBA was Kyrie Irving's ankle injury. My gosh, that got tougher to watch the more they replayed it. And that's in addition

to the Nets operating without James Harden. He's got a hamstring injury, so there's no timetable on either, and the Bucks tied up the series. How are those injuries affecting the spread it in the series in general? Yeah, I mean, if you think about what Steve Nash said, they're not going to force back James Harden if he's not ready,

which is the right move. Of course, he's been out since Game one where he hurt himself, and then you obviously had Kyrie's pretty tough to look at high ankle sprain, which you know, if anybody has ever had one, It's it's tough to walk, let alone play professional basketball. So I think you have to take a look at what the Bucks are doing. There by no means a sloush team.

Janice playing at a high level. K D is capable of holding a team together, but it's gonna be really, really difficult against this Bucks team that that seemingly learned how to play together in the last couple of games. Middleton's defending better, he's shooting better, is all over the floor. You know. I'm looking at them, and I'm looking at the Suns out of the West as a potential matchup. If you were to take those two teams, you're looking at plus five hundred for that exact outcome come the

NBA Finals. I think whoever comes out of this Brooklyn Bucks series looks better than the other side of things, where you have the Sixers that have looked good as of late, can be a little bit shaky, and the Hawks are having a tough go. The last couple of games came force Tonight's Ultimately, I think that will determine where they lie. I really like how the Bucks have played the last few games, and I think a couple that with the injuries it's gonna be tough for the Nets.

You know, Peter, I like when we get to talk about this stuff because you come at it from such an analytic standpoint. I come at it from like a sideline reporter standpoint. And I'm very familiar with this Bucks team. Again, I've I've covered this whole coaching staff and these players. You see something change in their eyes. You see like light at the end of the tunnel. You know that now they feel a little bit more confident. I think

that was very obvious Sunday night. Absolutely, and you can probably compare that's what happened in Game four for the Nuggets and the Suns as well. Yo Kis gets kicked out of the game, and the same thing happened with the Suns where they almost had that firelight under them and said we can close this out. Now. They just lost their best player, which is essentially what happened, one of three of the nets best players, and it just gives them that actual little motivation to say we can

do this. And now they're going and you know, essentially a three game series with two of the nets best players probably out for the remainder of the games and are saying we can absolutely do this, So I think you have to look at that and the fandom part, in the non Adalymics part, you know, it means a lot. It's part of the game and they're definitely feeling good about themselves going into Game five, so I'm completely with you.

And then going to that Sun series, I mean they took that with Yo kich It was a hard foul to say the least, and once he got that flagrant too, they said the same thing and you just saw them. They played well the whole game, but that was their way to really close it out. You know. CP three absolutely took over. You didn't need to, you know, similar to what your dad said last week. You didn't need Devin Booker to be aggressive. You just played good basketball.

The world really revolves around CP three and how he plays, uh, you know, getting people involved. That mid range shot that was gone from the NBA for a couple of years and now it's back. I love what the sons have been doing CP three. I think he's plus finals M v P. If they're playing this way and they're playing team basketball like that. DeAndre Ayton Devin book are contributing. Of course, Chris Paul running the show. They've got a really, really good shot of taking it all. Did you hear

my dad's call last night where he calls Chris Paul Houdini. Yeah, like I told him last week on the other side of the TV, just think about us. Laugh. And that was another great one. I was thinking of you, Peter. I was like, I think he's doing that just for Peter Andrew and the Unleashed podcast, because he's just giving us great fodder. The only the only thing missing was calling you and I out right, but everything else in the back of his mind, he was thinking about us.

So you mentioned finals m v P Okay, So you like Chris Paul at plus Kevin Durant still leads at plus three. Do you do you still feel like he's the dominating force we thought a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, I do think so, but it's going to be difficult. You got Kyrie who's hitting big shots. James James Harden was playing that role of a CP three where he's getting other people involved. It's gonna be really hard to replace that. You look at what a guy like James

Harden Kyrie does for player like Joe Harris. I don't think that happens now missing three of your your big three. So Durant will still contribute and put thirty up a night. But is that enough when a team is playing full five player basketball, and I don't think it's the case. So you know, Durant will keep them in games, but can they finish off? Will they play good defensively? Yet to be seen, So it's gonna be tough. What's an

NBA parlay card? Do you like? So? I think the Clippers came out and looked really impressive in Game three. They made this a series again. I like the Clippers to continue that momentum, and then I liked the Bucks next game, and I think probably the next two games, especially when they go back to Milwaukee for Game six. I would combine the two of those very simple money line. I think you put those two together and you're looking good. Clippers had to figure things out for the first couple

of games. I'm not sold on the Jazz, and I think they're going to start to exploit them a little bit better. I think you have to ride with momentum. This is taking the analytics out of the game, but you have to ride a momentum. When Kauai has a good game. That's gonna help drive him when the Bucks have a situation like had happened in Game four, similar things. So I think you try to ride those for the next two, you're gonna get decent value. You combine the two,

you'll get plus money. So I like ride the momentum there. Well, we just finished up our interview with Max Homa. He's playing in the US Open. It's the third major of the year, and all signs point to John Rom. I'm looking right now. Leader after the first round. He's plus eighteen hundred. Top five after first round John Ram is plus four hundred. I mean he is just such a heavy favorite going into this weekend. Yeah, John Ram is

playing great golf. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago the Memorial he had to withdraw due to his COVID test. But he's taken two tests. He's ready to go. He is arguably the most complete golfer right now. He's played well at Torry Pines before. I think a lot of this is going to really rely on how well you

play at that course. It's playing really long this week, something around seventy eight hundred yards are saying potentially, so you need guys that are gonna play long balls, consistent balls. Anybody that's getting a little bit messy off the tees is going to have some trouble. I think his stat is ninth this year on the tour in bogey avoidance, which essentially means how can he take that first bat shot and turn it into a bar or turn it

into a birdie. He's done really well there. I like him to lead after the first round and then plus one thousand just to win the tournament. I think he is your clear odds on favorite couple other guys. I like Patrick Read Tony Finale. They both played earlier this year at the Farmers which was at Tory Pines. Read came in first and Female tied for second. You know, had one tough day. I think it was Day three

where we shot a couple over par. Both those guys know how to play the course again, really really consistent. You got to stay out of the rough at Tory where it seems like it's six inches high. Read is plus hundred, Female very similar plus twenty. I think both those guys have a really good shot again if they just stick to their game plan, hit those long balls. Fenwe seemingly you can hit it three thirty to three

fifty with almost no force. So if those guys play their game, I think they have a good out of taken it all. Okay, we're talking earlier. Fun market. Hole in one on day one. Tell us a little bit about that. Yeah, so I feel like this is the fan perspective again. But I feel like anytime you see the highlights of day one, you always see someone nail hole in one. So plus four it's a fun one. I think there's a couple of makable hold ones. So plus four hundred just throw a couple of bucks and

you'll see a good return there. The other one, I like, you know, there's all this conversation around Bryson and kept Um, so we have a market that's head to head betting of just who would finish better over the course of the tournament that kept because even money a plus a hundred. I think he's in Bryson's head a little bit. The way he said the chirping in the banter is good for Dolphin. He's right. Bryson is one of those kind of buy the books guys and Brooks just lets it fly.

I think he loves it. He loves the alright, Brooks, he's so I like him getting in his head a little bit. I think, you know, the shamba has a chance of missing the cut, so I like Brooks to to win the head to head verson That's right. I love the alright, Brooks. You love golf banter. It's just such a formal sport you love when it seems almost more relatable and kind of like other sports we love to talk about on this show. Peter Andrew, thank you
