You were pretty high on him a couple months ago.

So why don't you go ahead?

The Fitzpatrick, there's a lot of... There's a lot to digest with Fitzpatrick.

I think one... I've had a big mindset shift in the last five, eight years about what makes a great prospect.

And I think back...

again, five, eight years ago, when somebody came out and showed a ton of speed, but weren't super polished in other areas, to me, that was attractive.

Like, okay, well, there's a lot of upside there.

And if they can develop the other parts of their game, then they're going to be a great player and they'll have the speed.

But that is so much easier said than done.

And it is really hard to have both speed and be a great iron player.

I think Gary Woodland, not to go back to him, but that's a player who actually has done both of those things.

it's an interesting career to take in because he's U S open champion.

You could say he's one of the less, one of the lower quality major champions of the last 10 years.

But the other side of it is like Kerry Woodland has been a really good player for 15 to 18 years.

But with Fitzpatrick, that's the sort of the other model.

And it's maybe he doesn't have a ton of speed when he comes out, but he's very polished in his other areas and,

And if that player can put on a little bit of speed, then they have... That actually might be the more sustainable path to being a great player.

And I think we saw something similar with Xander.

He's dealt with a little bit of injury that you could chalk up to some of the speed increase if you wanted to.

So that would be the counter argument.
