In part that Victor Hovland has become one of the worst drivers of the golf ball, certainly of a player his caliber.

I mean, like Jordan Spieth's a better driver of the golf ball.

Max Homa right now is a better driver of the golf ball than Victor Hovland.

And we all know what kind of problems Max has had.

They have similar rounds.

So this is not like an unfair sample size difference.

Victor just cannot keep the ball from spinning way right.

He's only missed, I looked it up this morning, he's only missed two balls in the left rough all year.

It's just everything is spinning off the planet and going right.

I mean, it's like 20% of his drives almost are missing in the right.

And this used to be a person who thrived on taking away one side of the golf course, just setting up and hitting it down the left side and with a power sort of bullet cut.

And whatever that was has disappeared for him.

And you talked about Matt Fitzpatrick having 14 top 10s.

Victor Hovland has one top 10 this year.

it's just not happening right now and this is all true with him being becoming actually a very good short game player i mean he's like the 40th best person on tour in around the greens now and that was a huge huge hole in his game forever and so we've solved the short game issue but the driver is a mess and it just i don't i don't know what to make of someone who's just constantly constantly tinkering

Don't make me get Joe Mayo on your ass.

I wish we had a word that was the opposite of, like, ball speed imposter.

Because that might be what Shane is.

Like, just a dude who doesn't have enough speed or whatever to compete anymore.

Like, I don't know.
