What insights does Bob Weeks share about the Masters Tournament's first round?
Live from Augusta National, day one of the Masters. Oh my God, look at Bob. Oh my God.
Dude, I'm telling you, Bob. If someone flicks a dart at his shorts, he's done. Bobby, how many? This is 11.
Oh my God.
It's been a good day. I think this is... I hit double digits today, and I'm hoping to get to 20 this week.
Dude, Bob Weeks, I'm telling you. Uh-oh. You're going to choke out. What's your record down there, Bob, for Egg Sandy's?
I think I did 21 one year, but Graham DeLette used to try and challenge me, and most of the time they just kind of took it easy. I just got enough to beat him. That's all I had to do. He's kind of moved over to the chicken salad side now. Okay.
That's disappointing. See, I told you, man. Bob is a legend down there. When I saw him a couple of years ago, people would stop me and say, you know that guy? He eats six to seven of these every single day. You're an absolute legend around the park down at Augusta. Well, it's great to have you, Bob. We love seeing you down there. The backdrop is phenomenal. The weather looks incredible. It's going to be incredible the rest of the way. I had the boldest take, which turns out to be the dumbest take, yesterday that I thought McElroy was shooting 75-75 and going home. He goes 5-under-67 today. How big of a statement was that from McElroy?
That's huge. I mean, he's only had one opening round better. His usual folly here is he'll shoot 72, 73, 75 in the opening round and then try to play catch up, and it never usually works. The only time he's been better than this was 65, and then that was the year that he did the Sunday 80, you know, hipping it into the hedge by the private housing here. So this is a great start for him. He looked very relaxed, looked very content. He only hit one fairway on the front nine, and I didn't think this was going to be a 67 day for sure. But really, he just didn't make many mistakes and got a lot out of the putter, which I think he was very happy to see because this year has not been great with the putter.
The rest of his stuff, you know, off the tee, into the greens, all that stuff is actually on the PGA Tour. He's only played four times, but it's better numbers than he had last year when he won coming in. So I think his game is pretty solid if he keeps rolling the rock like that. Bobby, for the first time, there's no Tiger at the tournament. There's no Phil Mickelson at the tournament. Like, does golf need a Saturday and a Sunday with Rory and Scotty in the final group to kind of say, these are the new guys and this is the way it's going to be? And I think it would just be fantastic for golf if we got a clinic like that, along with other guys on the leaderboard. Yeah, I mean, there's enough big names right now.
Like, coming into this week, I really didn't think there was one player who stood out above the rest. There's five or six sort of in that top group. Scotty and Rory, and you can go down the list, and Xander and those kind of guys. So anything in there where we can get a really good finish with one or preferably two of those guys in the hunt would go a long way. I mean, look, Tiger and Phil are just ceremonial people around here. Even if they were here, they're not going to win this tournament anymore. It's just too much for them. They're not playing enough. They don't play well. I mean, Phil's only played one round of golf this year or one tournament of golf this year. So I think that's nice to see them.
But they're now Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, you know, 15 years ago. These new guys stepping up would give a big boost to golf, not necessarily this tournament because it does pretty well, but to golf in general to have some kind of rivalry starting up. Bobby, as far as the tournament goes, what is it about that golf course? Because I was mentioning to Brian earlier, it seems like a big ballpark. You know, you could smash it around a little bit. You can get into some trouble. But it looks so perfect. It's just so well manicured. And I know if you're getting a green jacket, it's at stake.
