Nope.

I won on that other machine this year.
Oh, yeah.
And nobody else has won this year.
Thomas Jefferson.
He was a fraud.
T.J.?
Perfectly said. Did you feel like you were going to vomit? I did.
Well, look, you said it correctly. I mean, it was a roller coaster, as he described it. And the thing that was nuts, and you try to put it in context, like for SportsCenter, our highlight, like our first pass at the highlight was 11 and a half minutes long. And that's to tell the story... like I think accurately and, and thoroughly right. Where it's the DeChambeau Rory bit.
And like, by the time it's over, like you forget that even happened. Right. DeChambeau is just kind of out there. And it started with like, he throws up on himself in the first hole and he's behind after the second hole. And you're like, this is nuts. He's going to lose to this guy again. He's going to have to walk with him for five hours. This is going to be brutal.
But then immediately he's back ahead and you're like, okay, here we go. But it just, it almost felt like with Rory for him to do it, that it was going to have to be this excruciating exercise where he would hit, like, the shot on 15, which is like the Sam Cassell meme, right? I mean, big, brave bowls, and he swoops it around. But then you've got to make that putt for eagle.
Like, Tiger makes that putt for eagle 100 times out of 100. Mm-hmm. Yeah, he doesn't. He just doesn't. And then you're like, wait, Rose is. Oh, shit. Rose has a birdie. Oh, my God. They're tied again. And now he hits the shot on 17, which is incredible. No one ever hits it close on 17 when they have to make birdie to take the lead. He does.
Then he hits a perfect drive, and then that wedge on 18 is just, you can't do that. And he does, and then there's that putt, and you just, I didn't think he'd make it, and he didn't. And at that point, I'm thinking, this poor guy is going to have to live with this, and he's going to become Greg Norman.
And someday he's going to be 50-something years old, and he won't be here, and we're going to wonder how that happened. But then he hits the wedge in the playoff that's a forever shot. It's a shot of a lifetime.
I think what he was feeling, Patrick, was relief. I'm sorry.
I've been waiting for weeks to say that. He said it. It was almost all relief. And the thing that Andy North described to me that I find amazing, but I guess I get it, is that when you do it, And Andy didn't win the Grand Slam, obviously, but he won a couple of majors. And he's like, you feel so much more relief than joy.
And when you saw him fall to his knees, and you saw him walking, it looked like he was... I've seen that look before, but it was... PFT, it was you handing me mushrooms in the wind. He's just like... And you're thinking, man...
i just can't imagine what he's trying to process in real time and he admitted that this was a burden this was a lot he was carrying this around for more than for 14 years and everyone's asking what are you going to do and every year he's got to come put on a brave face and say well i feel like i'm ready and then You know, it looks like it's his time. And then all of a sudden it's not.
And then it is. And then it's not. And so, you know, I'm waiting to see if I can if I hear from Marty Smith, who's going to do the Sunday conversation with him tonight to get any insight. Like, you know, is there any sort of home run soundbite that he gave Marty? Because they have got a great relationship. But I just I thought that it was so obvious.
