And if you do listen to him talk about swing geek theory stuff, like there is no one smarter.

Okay.

He is someone whose instincts was a big part of his golfing to his feels.
And so I don't know that I believe that he would embrace the intellectual side of the data stuff that, you know,
has been so essential in making the Europeans like gain every single 1% advantage that adds up over the, over the course of the tournament to a big advantage.
I just think that his idea of playing golf is often more like, we'll just get it done.
Like just be a man and suck it up and go do it.
And I don't know that that's the, certainly not the way to win in Europe,
where the energy of the crowd is going to be against you most of the time.
So I don't know.
I mean, I just think his... You mentioned it before, his attitude towards the tournament.
I do think he cares, but I don't think he's ever really kind of grasped how to make others care or how to make others feel comfortable around him.
And this idea...
that the boys will be inspired to win for him.
Yeah, maybe, but also, like, you still got to be the right pairing.
You got to hit the right shots.
