I think that's ridiculous.

I don't know how Jimmy Walker's going to handle Hal Tong Lee.

Poor guy.

I do think there's most certainly scope this week to see a Hao Tongli, a Jordan Smith, a Christopher Rytan type player slash story emerge where they don't win, but they are right there in contention through 54 holes.

I recall Bernd Wiesberger a long time ago.

um being in contention i can i think there are enough good young european players coming through who have got their pga tour cards or non-international players who could you know chuck in some pretty good performance uh this week but it's an open event isn't it let's be honest and on a course like this there are probably 20 guys where you could imagine at some point they're gonna have a chance

at the moment so he you know i could see him on the leaderboard and you know who knows i mean i only said what i said of tommy um not not wanting to receive another text message from one of his coaching staff that um you know the nature of the golf course in that what i've heard is that the carry if you can carry a long way and i'm just i've noticed with tommy his ball speed's been you know down when i watched him on tv he's

definitely accurate but he's not as long as a lot of the guys so if it's but yeah if it was Shinnecock this week I would be taking a very different approach Andrew I just want to ask you sorry I just want to ask you on Tommy because you're our sort of fashion guru the train driver cap what do you think

It needs a great competition, doesn't it?

It needs three or four of the biggest players to be in contention on the Sunday to make it interesting and exciting for us to be invested, whereas all the other three majors have their own automatic storylines built in, whether it be weather or course layout or, of course, the history at Augusta.

So let's just fingers crossed that I hope it's going to be an exciting one.

I don't think it matters even if one of them does win, Ian, I'm afraid.

I think the Liv project is, I'm not going to say dead, but I don't think it really matters if John Rahm or Bryson win this.

I don't think it's going to make huge progress.

dent in their potential to raise a lot of money or certainly enough to keep john and bryson there in the long run i think that's my view i think that their futures are resigned to being on the pga tour certainly john rams and um and being back in the fold of traditional and dare i say proper tournament golf project badger long outlasted project live so

You can't pick Xander Schoffle because I turned the TV on last night and he gave what must have been one of the most boring interviews I've ever seen.

Me and Jen lasted all but three minutes.

It was the conversation between him and Doug Ferguson.

I understood very little of it, but as good a golfer as he is.

about trees, about all sorts of, I don't know what it was, but it was not particularly interesting or entertaining.
