And, um,

you know i wrote in my book about i mean this is came out before this week obviously he was already in the top 12 ever and now he's just gonna keep he just keeps moving up and he's a one or two more majors from being top five golfer who's ever lived and it's it's fun to think about we get to live in this era and we we get to enjoy these performances because it's something special and you have to savor them yeah give us a word on a short game all week

Oh, it was tremendous.

And, you know, it was an ultimate flex.

Rory's like, yeah, I didn't want to play any of the tour events.

I didn't love them.

I would just take Poppy to the school.

I'd jump in the jet.

I'd come play at Gus.

I'd come home for dinner.

Like that's, that is living the dream right there.

And, but, you know, I think he played 10 practice rounds ahead of this Masters.

He just seemed more prepared.

Yeah.

so, I mean, obviously the, the whole out on 17 on Friday is going to be one of the signature moments from this whole week, but, you know, you saw it again on 17 today.

It was like, he just, he just got up and down whenever he had to.

And I think that's always been an underrated part of Roy's game, you know, is chipping and his pitching.

It gets lost in the pyrotechnics off the tee, but he's always had great hands of course.

And that he was in full flight this week.
