So, you know, I don't know if he's just getting stubborn and going, you know, gosh, this draw, when I hit it straight, I can hold any fairway because it's so straight, so controlled when he's on.

But he wasn't quite on.

The point being, you know, the percentage is,

If you can, shape it so it lands into the hills and not with the hill.

And that's another, you know, especially the back nine at Shinnecock has a lot more undulation.

And so the driving becomes more artistic, too.

I think, you know, that's another way.

Now, you've got to pick a golf course that has that.

Not every golf course has that, of course.

Well, I don't know if I'd go that far, Andy.

Not to say I think he has dramatically improved those more subtle and nuanced areas of the game.

The wedge play, flighting him lower, spinning him better.

He changed his golf ball.

That helped, too.

It's a spinnier ball.

I think it's made him value the control aspect of the game a little bit more.

And he knows it's cost him in the past.

He knows he could look at the statistics and the analysis of that and know that he was an inconsistent wedge player.

You know, we talked about Greg Norman a little bit earlier off camera and, you know, Rory suffered from, you know, flighting his wedges high and hitting a lot of pulls long and not having the distance control.

I mean, Tiger suffered from that for about, you know, seven months when he turned pro and made it a strength.
