00:00I tell you what, Nick, I mean, I really am impressed, though, with, you know, just the
00:07stats that Charlie just told us about, you know, you being 67 in the FedEx Cup, I think
00:13is such a great accomplishment, right?
00:16You know, starting the year with zero points right after you win the Amex, I think it was
00:21going to be a heavy climb just to get to this point.
00:23You have to be very proud of being here at South.
00:25Yeah.
00:26Yeah.
00:27I mean, like I said, I played poorly at Pebble, played poorly at Genesis, didn't have a good
00:31Florida swing.
00:32So after, I think it's the Players is the last, no, no, no, I didn't play Valspar, but
00:37Players is the last Florida swing I played.
00:39I had like 25 points or something.
00:41So the goal of mine was to make the playoffs, and obviously now I have to rewrite some of
00:46those goals.
00:47But, no, happy to be here.
00:49Understandably so.
00:50And, Nick, I mean, you win the Amex, so all of a sudden you got to make life decisions.
00:55You got to decide, do I want to go back to college?
00:57Do I want to go and accept the PGA Tour membership?
01:01So I know that was a difficult decision, but kind of an easy one after when it all gets
01:05said and done to chase the childhood dream that you had.
01:08Yeah.
01:09We almost saw it last week or the last couple of weeks with Luke, but yeah, you know, college
01:14is a big dream of mine.
01:16I'm playing for Coach Eagle.
01:17I'm playing in Alabama.
01:18But my end dream was to play on the PGA Tour and be out here to play against the best players
01:23in the world.
01:25As much as it kind of sucked to forego that, it was an easy but difficult decision to do
01:31that.
01:32But, you know, happy to be here.
01:34The consolation prize was the term pro, so it was pretty good.
