people love watching Augusta because they know what it looks like.

They love watching some of the open courses because there's that linksy feel to it.

Like there's a visual kind of architecture that straight away resonates with you.

But when it's kind of, you know, random course in America for the, like Pebble Beach, people know straight away.

But Kiowa, even if people like it or don't like it, you'd know it's Kiowa after a Thursday.

You watch an hour of golf, you're like, oh, that's the 12th hole, that's the 13th hole.

A lot of these big fields out in the middle of nowhere.

Beth Page being the classic example, just so featureless.

yeah you got a bad bounce or missed a putt and then got a bad bounce it was actually very brief this is going to be epic I remember that then it petered out but it's a funny tournament I remember that there are objectively great PGA's in terms of objectively you know good shootouts and classic golf and drama and all the things you need for a great but there are great PGA's that have never resonated in the same way as decent Opens or Masters or US Opens

It's the tournament itself does not sort of carry beyond two weeks later or in the record books as a mark besides somebody who won another major.

It's only four of them.

No, it was nearly four, I think.

Well, I mean, let's not split hairs here.

It was quite undignified.

There was a bit of rubbernecking going on and there was people, there was loads of people there just in Drumconja.

rubbernecking you no sorry Bertie Hearn was standing by the side of the road and there was but there was a lot of people Bertie Hearn's the reason you did your angle yeah Bertie was there yeah he was kind of wishing all the well wishes but it was a part he came out to wave everyone but it was a part of the route where there was loads of people for the first time and you have an app

where people can track you so they like people came in to see you so I think loads of people came in to see so people were kind of like jackknifing across the road to like you know see family fist pump their family and all the rest and it was just it was a bit too condensed at that stage and Bertie I danced up onto the up onto the car with all the elegance of a

inebriated hippopotamus and went over my ankle.

It was a bit undignified now.

And did you hit the deck?
