You know,
It was crazy.
What's mad is that
So the people who were there who were like really experienced said that the crowd, because you forget that DeChambeau, because he became such a non-entity so quickly in the round, but really the overnight story was this is the Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau shootout that we crave since the previous year at Oakmont or at, in the US Open, Pinehurst.
But,
So the crowds around that group were far bigger than anything, even for Tiger's Hay Day.
It was monumental because in Augusta, people like to take up little perches and stay there for the day and watch the kind of tournament come to them.
But there was a hysteria around the group.
And then Rory double bogeyed the first.
Then he parred the second.
Bogeyed the second, wasn't it?
You could actually feel Augusta National, which had been so just hyped up.
And it's not a very hype-y place, but it was hyped up that morning.
You could feel the place deflate.
And as they were standing on that third tee box, which was such an important one, like DeChambeau should have taken out his driver that day, and he didn't.
But because of the way they do things in Augusta and nobody has a phone and they change all the scoreboards manually.
As we were standing on the third tee box, you could hear the groans from two holes over when they just changed the scoreboard.
And Rory McIlroy could definitely hear it on the tee.
And it was the groans of people finding out what had just happened on the first tee.
He did that really well in the documentary.
