And there's a lot of that's just there's a secret in that I think applies to anybody that's good at what they do in life.
I picked him. Every year, we're just asked to pick a player, which is always fun, right? Hey, who's going to win the Super Bowl? All right, I got the Chiefs and the Eagles. You want me to pick one of... I mean, and this field's smaller than the other majors, but I got to pick one out of all these singular people? It's a difficult thing to do.

Last year, I picked Sheffler because I said, I don't want to be sitting there Sunday when he wins and go, why didn't I just pick him? And the reason I picked Rory this year, Ryan, is I just... And I don't mean it to sound like some horrible cliche, but I truly believe in life that there's a time that it's someone's time. And it feels like it's his.

And I think it's a combination of how he has played, how his prep has worked, and just at some point, a guy as good as him flushes whatever's happened here, good, bad, or indifferent, and just goes out and plays to his ceiling. And I don't know why I think it's this week, other than what I just said, but I really, I like him. He played great last year.

Should have won, could have won, I should say, not should have. DeChambeau was excellent at Pinehurst, but could have won Pinehurst. Missed a couple of close ones. And that was gutting. And he's had a number of close calls. It could have won, should have won at St. Andrews a couple of years ago. Had the lead. It was gutting. This guy's got scar tissue. He's a thinker, but he's open about it.

I appreciate that there's a combination of just absolute badass and then the vulnerability of just like, fuck, this hurt, man. Like I got knocked down. but I'm going to get up and keep swinging. Um, so I don't know, rooting for Eleanor to overstate it. I just think if he won, I think a lot of people would just go right on. Good for that dude. You know what I mean?

You finish the slam and finishing the slam. Here's the hardest one. Cause you're going to come every year and you're going to get asked every year about, and every year you don't do it. It's like you add a pebble to the scale and it gets heavier, right? Cause you're, I only got so many chances, man. So I don't know. I just have this odd sense that it's his turn and his turn, his turn in his time.

He just needs to play well starting out. I'm sorry. I'm rambling. It's just that he he's, he's put himself out of position so often early shoot 74 on Thursday, and then you're screwed because there's too many good people between you and the lead. So for him, I feel like it's just start well, and then you give yourself a great chance to do it.
