So I'd got a small investment on Scotty Scheffler and I was looking to see how my bets were doing and it offered me the chance to cash out for 50p.
And I thought, on Scheffler, this was on Saturday, and I thought, well, he's definitely not going to win, so I might as well take the 50p.
I know it sounds really petty, but it's just sort of... So was it genuinely 50p, or was this just you giving... Yeah, it was a five pounds bet.
I had five pounds on him to win.
And basically I said, well, I'll settle for losing ยฃ4.50 rather than a fiver because he's not going to win.
And as soon as I did this, and then suddenly he just climbed up the leaderboard.
I thought it was interesting that there were so many players there that sort of knocked on the door, actually got to 12 under par and then fell backwards as Cam Young did, Russell Henley was another.
There was a whole cohort of players, Justin Rose being another example, who got really, really close and then came backwards.
And the only person that could continue to go forwards was Scotty Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.
And they're the top two players in the world.
And in that, and in and of that, you saw why they're different, why they are a different class compared with the rest.
Are you not buying into the Hatton Major contender?
I'd like to see it and I think he's talented enough, but I think he's been around enough that if he was going to do it, it would have happened by now and he would have been closer than he has been.
