Transcript
00:00you.
00:03Just curious.
00:04Your opinions on obviously what you did what you were leading
00:07into you when you have the decision to to go pro off of
00:10that. So it's simpler for you. But what we're seeing from from
00:13Luke land and others, you know guys who are very obviously
00:17tour caliber pros. I mean Luke's had three top 10 finishes
00:21this year two of them top fives and where he currently I think
00:24he's he's at 13 points currently of the 20 he needs. I mean,
00:28do you think we've been kicking around some ideas? Do you think
00:31the system should be adjusted or do you think it's fair how it
00:34is?
00:36I don't want to hold on. I don't want to be too harsh on it.
00:39It did give me the platform to go out and that's the reason I
00:43got the MX start was good because I pitched that PGA Tour U
00:46and for one I think it's the whole idea of it's unbelievable
00:50like it's giving us an easy way to get to the PGA Tour and I
00:54wouldn't say easy but it's giving us a way to get to the
00:56better pathway, right? Yeah, and whether that's cornberry
00:58whether that's Canada, it gives us we don't have to get a Q
01:01school, which is great something. Yes. Yeah. Q school's
01:05not fun. Not great about it and hopefully I don't have to go
01:09to school. But I do think maybe the points there's a way to
01:15because I was there's going to be a time where these high-end
01:21college players don't play college events. They're just
01:23going to chase the PGA Tour starts, which I was on that
01:27track. I probably would have done the same thing. It's a I
01:30think it's some may question it. I think it's a lot easier to
01:34come out here and make a cut and get a point than it is to go
01:36and try to win the the Western and we get to interesting like
01:40it doesn't yeah, you know, I think or is especially if you
01:44are a high-end player if you can get these spots. I'll sponsor
01:47the exemptions. I think it is the way to go like, you know,
01:50you go in you go and win the US and well, that's three points.
01:54Like I think, you know, you might could test this. I think
01:57it's easier to make three cuts out here than it is to win the
02:00United States amateur. Yeah, I think you know, so I would do
02:03the exact same thing. Now. I don't know if there's a way to
02:07to elevate that whether like you said you I mean top 10 should I
02:11think should be more than one extra point. So I think if you
02:16you know gave two points like an extra point on top of that. I
02:19think yeah, you know Luke would probably already be there.
