00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Didn't hit any really bad shots to be honest,
00:04 but that's happens at the open and on those holes.
00:07 I was very pleased with the round.
00:11 I felt like my game's been in a really good place.
00:14 I felt like the results haven't necessarily been showing it,
00:16 but came in not putting a whole lot of pressure on myself,
00:20 just knowing that I like opens
00:22 and if I'm stepping up and trusting what I've been doing,
00:27 it's been really good performance
00:29 the last couple of days, which is always nice to draw off.
00:32 - So let me ask you, oh, so Fowler was plus one.
00:36 So I'm not into Spieth winning again.
00:39 I'm over Spieth, thanks.
00:42 And Thomas, these are the, every, you know,
00:45 every tournament, every major,
00:48 it doesn't matter what it is,
00:49 it's we're supposed to, according to ESPN and the media,
00:52 we're supposed to root for Thomas and Spieth
00:55 no matter what, right?
00:57 I don't come from that side of the river, okay?
01:01 I'm for Fowler for once.
01:03 We both love Rory, but I mean, to tell you,
01:06 this guy in the first round of majors, it's a disaster.
01:09 I thought even par was fine, but just having,
01:14 the time he won at Royal Liverpool, Mike,
01:17 he led belly to belly.
01:19 He was up by two strokes after the first round
01:22 and he won the thing end to end.
01:25 I have a hard time with, you know, five back to start you.
01:29 It's just an uphill climb the rest of the way.
01:32 And don't tell me they're gonna have sunshine
01:34 for three more days.
01:35 It's gonna rain tomorrow.
01:37 So let's see what happens when things get ugly.
01:39 - And more importantly than just some rain tomorrow,
01:43 I just looked during the last break at the latest forecast.
01:47 We're gonna get the 18 to 22 mile per hour
01:50 with the gusts to 25 for a good portion of the day tomorrow.
01:54 So whether it rains or not, the wind,
01:57 which is the biggest thing to factor in
02:00 is going to be an issue, at least for tomorrow
02:02 in round number two.
02:03 - Do you remember when, do you remember when,
02:05 obviously you remember when Darren Clark won it, right?
02:08 And his wife had died or whatever.
02:10 Now those are the kinds of stories
02:12 that like I can wrap my arms around.
02:15 I wanna see like this guy Fleetwoods never won on tour ever.
02:19 How about he wins at Royal Liverpool?
02:21 That would be a story.
02:23 Ricky suffering for so many years.
02:25 He finally wins the Rocket mortgage.
02:27 I'd love to see him do well.
02:29 Stories like that I'm into.
02:31 Like the shocking amateur in the lead,
02:33 tied for the lead, whatever.
02:35 That's crazy.
02:36 Six foot 80 shoots a 500, but just the constant,
02:40 it's gotta be JT and Jordan Speed.
02:43 And then just stop, just stop with that.
