00:00 as we take a look at the future of golf, maybe it is Scotty Scheffler who shot 67 round number one,
00:05 66 after being arrested and maybe the adrenaline sort of got away with them on Saturday,
00:10 but Sunday right back in the form at a 65. It's almost a shame because if he would have had a
00:15 very good round, at least a decent round of round number three, who knows what we would have saw on
00:19 Sunday. Talk to us about Scotty Scheffler, how he encapsulated this entire week at the PGA and still
00:24 able to perform and get a top 10. Well, I tell you what, it is a great microcosm for all that's
00:31 going on in golf. I mean, all the disruption that we faced for the last two years was kind of the
00:35 way Scotty led his week. I mean, here's a guy who is by far the best player in the world and he
00:41 showed it. And maybe Ted Scott has tons of job security because part of the storyline was that
00:46 his caddy had to leave on Saturday and he had permission ahead of time and it was known,
00:50 well-known in Scotty's camp that Ted was going to his daughter's high school graduation. But boy,
00:56 did he need help on Saturday, keeping it all together after that adrenaline rush,
01:00 like completely challenged him after the big dump on Friday night, and he was just like, oh,
01:07 geez, like what just happened to me? And then he comes back Saturday needing to compete again.
01:11 He probably really needed Ted Scott on his bag, but overall, I mean, this is just a sign of the
01:16 times in golf. This guy is an amazing talent. And at the end of the day, we had roughly, I don't
01:22 know, five, six, seven policemen on a Friday morning that couldn't recognize him and put him
01:28 in a cop car and sent him to jail. I mean, what are we doing? Like that's unbelievable to me.
01:34 It kind of just shows to me that like all the stuff that we've been dealing with in golf,
01:39 the talent is still there and we need to celebrate the golfers more. You know,
01:45 everyone's being critical of, oh, the way the golf could Xander was 21 under. How about that?
01:49 Xander shot 21 under, how about that? Bryson birdied the last hold to force a playoff. How
01:55 about Victor Hovland and Colin Morikawa, these young stars coming back? I mean, how about all
01:59 of these different storylines that are so positive and yet we don't even know who the number one
02:04 golfer in the world is in Louisville. I mean, like this just blows my mind. I mean, there were so
02:08 many positives in the golf world of which I've been a part of forever. I mean, Bryson walked
02:14 around that place like Arnold Palmer. I mean, he was the people's champion. It was so cool.
02:19 And yet we can't come together. I mean, at the end of the day, the best way I can answer your
02:23 question, Donnie is to say that Scotty Scheffler is without a doubt the best golfer in the world.
02:28 He showed that this weekend, but there's a lot of other guys out there that are working really hard
02:33 to try to catch him. And we're going to have some unbelievable theater this year when they
02:37 come together.
