00:00And that guy for me has to be Colin Morikawa because he has been so good since the Masters.
00:09He's got, of course, a couple of top fives in both the majors this year.
00:12He has been right there at Memorial last week.
00:15It feels like Colin Morikawa is so close to finally knocking Scottie aside and taking
00:20one from him.
00:22It's easy to go and say, starting at the Masters, he goes third, ninth, sixteenth, fourth, fourth,
00:27second.
00:28But what's important for me is what he's been doing in order to come up with those finishes
00:32and to play so well.
00:34He's gaining on average nine strokes against the field total over his last five starts.
00:39So he's played great, yes.
00:40But when you break it down, he's gaining over two and a half strokes around the green and
00:45another two strokes with the putter.
00:47These aren't things that he did when he was winning major championships.
00:49He has really worked on that part of his game, and it's going to be a huge asset this week.
00:54You put that with his accuracy off the tee and his ability to hit irons like he can at
00:58a world class level.
01:00He is the in my mind, he is the number one contender to Scottie and at the Masters.
01:05He measured himself against Scottie and he lost.
01:08And then, of course, last week, he measured himself again.
01:10But guess what?
01:11He was a little closer carver.
01:13You saw it.
01:14We had him on our card and he had a chance with three holes to go, four holes to go.
01:18Colin was there.
01:20He's one step closer, which you know what that means.
01:22This week, he can take him down and hey, like Valhalla, he just couldn't putt on Sunday.
01:28I mean, he was there at Valhalla as well, and he just couldn't he just couldn't make
01:32any of those birdie putts from 10 to 15 feet.
01:36They just weren't falling for him.
01:37Par, par, par, par, par all day long and he couldn't get done.
