Be the right club. Be the right club today.

How about him? That is better than most. Better than most!
Expect anything different?
Whoa, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the No Leg Up live show presented as always by our friends at Titleist. What are we going to open the show with tonight, DJ?
I think we got to start with Spieth. I know it wasn't really not what we wanted to see, but I like a lot of the signs we're seeing. No, unbelievable day of golf, man. Yeah, go around the horn. Let's get into it.
We're buzzing. Neil is here. Hello, Icarino.
If there was ever a time for it, turn it up, DJ. I'm Roddy baby. We want a little action in here tonight. What a Friday. Let's go.
Big Randy is here. Hello, big. What's up boys. Will Bryson's I'm not playing tomorrow. Will that threat come true? I cannot wait to find out.
Oh, Oh, my God. Today's show is brought to you by Titleist, the number one ball at the open since records have been kept. The most played driver, iron, and wedge this week at Royal Birkdale. That is it for the ad read. Good spot for Titleist tonight to just let us get directly to it. Shout out to them. For that one, incredible day of golf. Bryson DeChambeau, as of right now, as we're speaking at 4.13 p.m. Eastern time, shot a 66 that most certainly looks like it is going to be changed to a 68. If you have not seen the clips somehow, the memes and everything else that's happening around this scene right now, Bryson hit a drive way right on the fifth hole, was over in the fescue. And they've showed a replay of him standing behind the ball, kind of walking back multiple times behind the ball, stepping on tall grass.
That if I were to interpret the rules correctly, Neil, I know you're our rules guy, but it would be that he was improving his, I don't want to get the language wrong, but the path of his swing would potentially have been improved by him stomping on some of the fescue behind the ball. He did it multiple times. Hard to say at this exact moment whether that was intentional or whether the grass stayed down. They went back out with the rules officials.
I've never seen that before, Solly. I mean, let's look at the bar. I mean, I was like, whoa, only Bryson. Like, let me take you back to the scene of the crime. I'm going to show you. There is no DNA here. You can't – I was like, are they going to be able to find the spot? I mean, that's in the tall, tall grass, and they did a pretty good job. They found it, so I was pretty impressed by that. But this is – I mean, 95 stages of grief here. This is unbelievable theater, and we don't have any mics on it, so it's just all –
all body language it's unreal it was it was i was just it was magnetic it's uh closest i've ever felt like i was watching the truman show it was just like uh just leave it on jim terry you guys don't even need to say anything i'll just i'm just in i'll just want to watch this fire up the live stream just let me let me just marinate in this for a while uh complete completely surreal in, in every, in every way. And I think like what made it even more surreal, you know, the, the tweet, the initially four hours ago or whatever was kind of floating around in our Slack. And like, I don't know, some people are saying this a penalty and I would have lost every dollar I could possibly have gotten my hands on, uh, from investors, from anybody on just betting that like, yo, come on, like, this is, there is nothing to see here.
The other angle that we saw from NBC later on, I was like, okay, I see why. Okay. I at least see why they got to take a look at it. I am so preconditioned to these things. Not. not being enforced, not taken, you know, just this is the last thing I thought we'd be talking about. And it was already a spectacular day of golf. Maybe my favorite Friday at a major in a decade. It was awesome. And then this happened again.
Oh God.
And Sully, this is one of those things. We did that rule scandal pod in January where. Like at Augusta, sometimes it's like that didn't impact the tournament.
