He got hunted down, didn't he, by Russell Henley.
And he didn't do too much wrong, did he, Eric Cole?
And then Henley got him in the playoff.
But it did make me think of Laura Boer as he was doing as well as he was.
And he kind of was holding it together on a tough finishing stretch there.
And of course, Henley hit a fantastic approach in on the playoff hole and made the birdie.
And that was four birdies in a row.
to close out victory Henley finishing with three birdies in a row in regulation play.
But one, I mean, maybe we'll develop this in a moment, but one thing that really struck me, I, I tuned in to watch the last hour and a half last night and it was, they, you know, we know Russell Henley, we know Ben Griffin, the other names that were on that leaderboard weren't particularly familiar and,
And I just felt that the TV coverage and the commentary didn't do anything to make any of these characters interesting to me at the point when, you know, I would imagine that the majority of the people watching would be tuning in.
And it made me wonder, Andrew, you're a television commentator.
I know that if I was doing that on the radio, I would be looking...
at every opportunity to give back stories and say why winning this for Mac Meisner or whoever it might be, why it would be so significant and to allow the audience to have some kind of buy-in to it rather than spending the whole time setting up shots, talking about the course and talking about the leaderboard.
And I don't want to be overly critical because I know it's a different medium.
Is it more difficult – you've done both, TV and radio – is it more difficult –
on TV, to do that kind of thing, because you're dictated to by the pictures, which are obviously very limited in terms of the time that the player is actually on your screen.
Because when I do...
on the radio and we're commentating off tv pictures we're we're governed by what comes up but we're we've got the freedom that if it is the next player that is being shown isn't really that significant to the story we can just keep talking about the guy who is significant to the story and just ignore their shot and then maybe mention it in reportage afterwards
And so I, you know, I, as I say, I don't want to be critical of the TV commentators, but I just thought it was, it was quite glaring to me that there was nothing there to really suck me in to say, you know, this is, this is really important for Russell Henley hasn't won since whenever this will take him up to number five in the world, which it is.
Yes, but my point is that I think the audience is coming pretty much in the way that I did yesterday.
