I mean, I know obviously like that was a pretty seminal moment in your life when they were going to work for you, but you almost kind of like blacked out and didn't really think about how well you were playing from all the accounts of it.
Why do you think that you were playing so well?
Yeah.
When you told the story about your first victory at the Portuguese Open, I was kind of struck by something kind of quaint, how your father didn't even know you won until you called him later that night on the phone.
Because, you know, now he'd be able to follow shot by shot and get it on TV.
God.
Yeah.
What do you remember about that phone call and that feeling?
What do you remember about the excitement of that phone call, like calling him up?
I've read a bunch about, you know, you went head-to-head with Seve a lot during that time.
You know, I read a lot about his aura.
What was it like to compete against him?
Yeah.

Yeah.

Everyone remembers Jack sort of said, you know, oh, congrats, Monty, you won the US Open.
But I wonder what you remember about that round.
