00:00Let's talk about this great win in Houston.
00:03We'll start here with Minwoo Lee,
00:04who a great week for us here at the grid
00:07because I know that you picked him for your one and done.
00:11So you had Minwoo Lee this week.
00:13On our golf Wednesday picks, I had Minwoo Lee.
00:15Our boy Keith Stewart had Minwoo Lee as well.
00:18So me, Keith Stewart and Smiley,
00:20all of us in on Minwoo this past week.
00:23So a huge week for us with his victory,
00:26his first ever win on the PGA Tour.
00:29If you watched full swing,
00:30you got a little behind the scenes look at Minwoo
00:32and his sister.
00:33I think a lot of people obviously
00:35have been backing him since then.
00:36To Smiley, great job by Minwoo Lee.
00:38Great win heading into the Masters.
00:40Yeah, the golf course Memorial Park
00:42didn't exactly test you off the tee.
00:44It's a very, not a very difficult golf course
00:48when it comes to tee to green.
00:50But you had to miss it in the right spots.
00:52There was tons of rain this week in Houston.
00:54Started on Monday, pretty much rained
00:56all the way through Friday.
00:57So Saturday and Sunday, the golf course
00:59never really had that same type of firmness
01:01and bite that it had the year prior
01:03where we saw Steven Yeager just edge out Scottie Scheffler.
01:06But if there was just a little bit more teeth
01:09off the tee, I would like it just a little bit more.
01:13Minwoo Lee was all over the yard on Sunday.
01:17I mean, he had some shots that would have been
01:20not only in a backyard,
01:22but it would have been in front yards.
01:23So he was lucky that he was playing a golf course
01:26where you weren't penalized very much off of the tee.
01:29Even the one shot that he did penalize himself
01:32was the 16th hole hits in the water there,
01:35but still finds a way to make a bogey on that par five
01:38and turned out to be just enough to win the golf tournament.
01:41It certainly did.
01:42And it had to be tough for him
01:44because you know that you're coming down the stretch,
01:48you're playing the last three or four holes.
01:50It's gotta be human nature to look up at that board.
01:53And when you see Scheffler get to 19,
01:57you're probably like, oh man, here we come.
01:59Scottie's just charging hard.
02:02Let's talk about Scottie for a second.
02:04No, he hasn't had any wins yet this year.
02:06He's been kind of getting a little bit better each week.
02:10I would say, Smiley, that's as good as a tune-up
02:12you would want heading into the Masters.
02:15How he played, especially, I thought,
02:16Saturday and Sunday in Houston.
02:19Well, he had a course record 62 on Fridays
02:21and really did it with his putter.
02:23The ball striking was okay those days.
02:25I think he really struggled with how soft the greens were.
02:29I think that the numbers would have been much, much better
02:31if the greens weren't so difficult
02:35to get the ball to stop.
02:36Back pins were just, you know,
02:38guys are hitting two extra clubs
02:40and just dead handing shots to keep it
02:42from spinning basically off of the green.
02:44I wouldn't say that would be Scottie's strength.
02:46I would say his strength is firmer greens
02:49where he's got to really hit into some tight areas.
02:51So this week, I wouldn't really necessarily
02:54look at those numbers and just use them as,
02:56oh, his iron game is okay.
02:59It really was fine.
03:01I saw a lot of really good stuff from Scottie,
03:03especially on Sunday where I got to watch him all day.
03:07Birdie four of his last six, had some chances at 17.
03:10And then 18 just totally misjudged the win.
03:14Still got up and down and still had a chance
03:16to, you know, make a playoff where, you know,
03:19I never really felt like he had a chance that day.
03:20I don't even think Scottie felt like he had a chance
03:23for the most part that day with how far
03:25Min Wu was out in front.
03:26But I think overall, when you look at his game
03:30and where he was at the beginning of the year,
03:31I think it was the right tune up for him.
03:33I think he should feel pretty decent
03:34about where his game's at.
03:37He certainly should as he,
03:39and Rory got a pretty good tune up
03:41going into the Masters as well.
03:43As of course, it'll be Scottie and Rory,
03:45stars of the show at Augusta next week
03:48for the Masters.
