00:00Then you have Rory, and this is it, Keith, the final piece of the Rory puzzle.
00:04We wait all year for this, the last major.
00:06You know, he's done everything else you could possibly do in the game of golf.
00:11This is the missing piece.
00:12Is he finally at a point now, headspace, playing-wise,
00:16everything that he can get it done?
00:19Well, you know, Mike, as well as I do, at those numbers,
00:22they only become a live betting option.
00:24Scotty, we'll start there.
00:26The guy looks laser-focused.
00:27And you're going to throw out history all the time.
00:29People love their trends.
00:30Oh, only one guy's won three times in four years.
00:32That was Jack Nicklaus.
00:33Last time I checked, Scotty won nine times last year.
00:35He's pretty good at golf.
00:36So, like, if he's ready to roll, his secret weapon is the fact that he just doesn't make mistakes.
00:43So, over 72 holes, when you play on the razor's edge here at Augusta National Golf Club,
00:47he's just, he's always going to put it in the right spot.
00:49He did it last year during that windstorm, and he just keeps plodding along.
00:53And at the end of the day, then he wins by four over Ludwig, right?
00:56Then, Rory's story.
00:58Everyone's telling you about, you know, if you win the career Grand Slam, you do it in your first three tries.
01:03Rory's on try number 11.
01:05It's try number 17 at Augusta National.
01:07It means the most to him.
01:08He's watching Bridgerton.
01:10He's reading John Grisham novels.
01:12All of this stuff.
01:13It's all a bunch of nonsense, right?
01:15Rory's talking to himself.
01:17But, unlike last year, Mike, where we talked about he showed up late.
01:20He changed his routine.
01:21He looks quite comfortable, at least with his golf game.
01:25I'm not sure what's going on between the ears.
01:27There's a lot of history here for him.
01:30And even if he is in the lead on Sunday, that tee shot on 10 with the Butler cabin to his left,
01:36where he hit it back there in 2011, will be a moment, as if like Spieth back in 16 had to hit it over 12 again, right?
01:42I mean, that's the key to all of this.
01:45Rory and Scotty will be a part of this conversation all weekend.
01:48But, in the end, does history win or does Rory win?
01:53I'm going to go with history.
01:54He does seem a little bit too worried about what's going on.
01:58Yeah, he talks too much.
02:00And then yesterday with treating it like any other tournament, I mean, when you say something like that,
02:05you know that it's completely in your head.
