Yeah.

Well, I think one thing that validated him in my mind, besides the wins and the way he played, that was just, you know, very, very much apparent just visually was helping Doak at Memorial Park.

And Doak, you know, he's not always the easiest collaborator by his own admission.

I don't mean personality-wise.

I mean, he just has his ideas, and they're great ones usually.

But he said Brooks really gave him a nice perspective about what tour players, you know, find difficult in green surrounds.

And that golf course has very few bunkers, and it's amazing how well that golf course as a municipal or public course holds up.

And it's because of the way that the greens challenge, especially, you know, shots around the green.

And so, you know, Brooks added that to it.

And I think of that shot, the up and down at 11.

11 is probably the most diabolical par three at Shinnecock and maybe anywhere.

I know he actually chipped it in the bunker from over the green and then he got up and down and he made about a 15 footer.

So it wasn't stellar shots.

short game play, but it was, it was that toughness and rising to the moment and not making the big mistake.

And he, he made bogey there.

And I think DJ three putted and made bogey and that looked like a big flip and ended up being nothing.

And he, and he may have won the open on that hole.

But anyway, the big thing about Brooks is he is a very smart course manager and he's pretty well-rounded.

I'm talking about now Pete Brooks.

He had a good short game.
