00:00Let's talk a little bit as Rory gets his green jacket about really zoom out and talk about legacy here.
00:06And to do so, we're going to do it with the help of our great partner AHEAD.
00:11And so this time around, we're talking about stitching it all together via AHEAD.
00:17And the reason we're using this segment is because Rory stitched together a career Grand Slam,
00:22his fifth major win today at Augusta National, finishes it off.
00:26So AHEAD takes a cross-domain approach to solving complex problems.
00:30Integrating solutions across the technology stack and bridging the old with the new.
00:34AHEAD relies on its heritage of modernizing legacy infrastructure to blend with cloud-native skills.

00:41I'd say Rory brought some new in to combine with some of those old majors and reminded people,
00:46hey, I still got it, and truly stitches that Grand Slam together.
00:51So I read you some of the names earlier of guys he's alongside now.
00:55Byron Nelson, Seve Ballesteros, Brooks Koepka.
00:58If we want to kind of jump ahead to six majors, Nick Faldo, Phil Mickelson, Lee Trevino.
01:05Help me at this point take stock of Rory's legacy within the game of golf.
01:11I think he's the sixth guy to win a Grand Slam.
01:14Let me check on that for you as well.
01:16It's the sixth guy to win a Grand Slam.
01:18Standing on, I mean, the 18th green in a green jacket.
01:20I don't think I ever thought he was actually going to do it.
01:25I don't.
01:26Gene Saracen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Rory McIlroy.
01:32So the question you asked me was what?
01:35Where does he stay?
01:35Like, where do you place his legacy?
01:37Is he top ten?
01:39Yeah, dude.
01:40He just won the Grand Slam, man.
01:42Like, it's into a different echelon.
01:46It's why this one was so important and why every year we talked about leading up to it,
01:51whether he could do it.
01:53And I think the floodgates are going to open for this guy.
01:56I think he's going to get to double-digit major wins.
01:59He's playing as good as golf as he ever has.
02:02And he's the longest.
02:04He's one of the longest players in the game still at his age.
02:07So we could see a run from him that's going to be incredible.
02:11And, man, we got a great really just major season over the next five years, right?
02:18We got Scotty Scheffler.
02:21We got Rory McIlroy.
02:22We got Sandy Schauffler.
02:23Ludwig O'Berg.
02:25I mean, you have some very likable players, and then you throw in some live guys as well
02:30that adds to the drama.
02:31I think golf's in a very weird place, but an oddly healthy place with something like
02:37this happening today.
02:39Crazy.
