00:00Gotta love defending champ, Scotty Scheffler, coming into this one.
00:04Can he go back to back is a big question.
00:08The only difference between here and a year ago is he doesn't feel like he's in the same kind of form this year,
00:14heading into Augusta as he was last year.
00:16But let's be realistic.
00:18Anything outside of top five or top ten would be a utter disappointment here for Scotty Scheffler.
00:23You know, Joe, you bring up a really good point there about form.
00:27Is Scotty's form like last year?
00:29No, but he won, what, nine times around the world?
00:32So, like, it may never get there again.
00:35Tiger's form never matched that of 2,000 again.
00:37But his form is still the number one player in the world.
00:41And this is a place about not making mistakes.
00:44It's about just being super, super patient as you go around the golf course.
00:48The superpowers you need here, you know, Keith's keys, the number one priority is you've got to have experience here.
00:54You have to know the grounds.
00:55There's no doubt that sometime after your third or fourth start is really where guys start to really try to hit their peak in playing in the Masters.
01:03The second thing is you've got to be a great approach player.
01:05There's nobody better than Scotty.
01:07Whether it's a long iron or a wedge, he controls his trajectory and his spin better than anybody.
01:11And that's a super test here.
01:13And the third thing is that you have to be creative and you have to have incredible around-the-green acumen.
01:18And Scotty scores like none other from 30 yards and in.
01:21And we heard about it all day yesterday in the press room.
01:23It's, you know, you have to be creative around the greens.
01:26It's these green complexes.
01:27It's the putting.
01:28It's the chipping.
01:29I mean, that's really what it comes down to.
01:31People are talking about rain earlier in the week.
01:33I am talking about firm and fast conditions from Saturday and Sunday to determine your Augusta champion.
01:39And Scotty will be right there because he will minimize his mistakes.
01:42So, let's get started.
