00:00So, let's say that this doesn't go well for them here, Charlie.
00:07Let's say this ends, you know, let's say, I think Scott, I still think Scottie and Russell
00:11Henley are going to find a way to at least get the United States some points, whether
00:15that's, I think a full point, but even just a half point, I think they're going to get
00:18him something today.
00:20Let's say 6-4 going into tomorrow.
00:24And tomorrow, of course, is more traditional.
00:26Like we see in the Ryder Cup, it splits the day, morning and the afternoon, you're going
00:29to get four of the foursomes, four of the four balls, going back and forth.
00:36Does Furyk now have to kind of go back to what the good sauce was yesterday, which is
00:41splitting up Cantlay and the X-Men?
00:43Kind of get, you know, I don't think you touched this Scheffler-Henley pairing, which seems
00:47to be going pretty good the last two days, but he's got to get Keegan back in there,
00:51who brought a lot of fire yesterday, split up Cantlay and X-Men, kind of got to go back
00:55to the stuff that worked on Thursday.
00:59Pretty strange.
01:00Some of these moves that Furyk made, and you can't completely fault him because you have
01:04a 5-0 lead.
01:05Now you can kind of, you know, play around a little bit and try some new combinations.
01:08And so I think that I don't, I don't think he was expecting to lose, you know, close
01:12to 4-0 or 4-1 or, you know, whatever it is, an all shot.
01:16This was not on his bingo card.
01:17So I'd say that I do like what he's done with some of these new pairings.
01:21The Scottie Scheffler-Sam Burns pairing from the past, you know, Ryder Cup and President's
01:25Cup.
01:26I know those guys wanted to play together.
01:27They're good buddies.
01:29It wasn't working.
01:30And it seems that we found a new partner for Scottie Scheffler that's a lot more successful
01:34and Russell Henley.
01:35And I think, you know, to kind of play it forward, this is really interesting because
01:38Henley's not a guy that you expect to see on a lot of these teams.
01:41He played well over the last few years to earn his way onto this team.
01:44But I think now you're going to hear him in a lot of conversations for the Ryder Cup next
01:48year because he's a guy that can play well with Scottie Scheffler.
01:51So I think that that's a great partnership.
01:53But on the other side of that, you know, I think it was, I think Keegan and Sam Burns
01:58were like nine under combined yesterday.
02:00And to bench both of them for this session doesn't make a ton of sense to me.
02:04Shopley and Cantley, you kind of found some different partners for them yesterday as well
02:07that were working.
02:08And to go away from that, I know they want to play together.
02:11But I think after this, you might keep those two guys apart for the duration of this competition.
02:15I mean, at least tomorrow, they're the last few times they can play together because you
02:18have both a four ball and a foursome session for four matches in each of those tomorrow.
02:22But I think both if those guys lose in the fashion they're losing right now, I think
02:26both those guys get rested tomorrow in the morning and you see him back to their old
02:29pairings in the afternoon.
02:31I know that we said we weren't going to kill weird because it's working out so well today,
02:35but I still Charlie was stunned that he didn't play Tom Kim today.
02:38It was still stunning just because he's the youngest one of the youngest guys, you know,
02:41he could play all five sessions.
02:43He was the only guy bringing fire yesterday trying to get the crowd pumped up.
02:46Why the hell just sit him today?
02:48But again, it's working for him.
02:49So it's hard to criticize.
02:51It didn't make any sense to me either.
02:52I mean, we were all smiling.
02:53I was smiling and I were recording our journal last night when these parents came out and
02:56I was stunned.
02:57I just I cannot figure out why you bench a guy that, you know, in this competition, when
03:02you have less depth, the Americans, you got to kind of use that the full extent of that
03:06roster and get a guy like Tom Kim and as many sessions as you possibly can.
03:11But hey, I mean, I saw Tom camera walking around and like a cool looking bucket hat
03:15earlier.
03:16They got Minwoo Lee out and like an international hockey jersey pumping up the crowd.
03:21That's the other thing that's worth stating.
03:23It was pretty subdued on the ground yesterday in Montreal.
03:26Not a ton of fans there for whatever reason, maybe just because it was a Thursday early
03:29on.
03:30And I think the internationals really kind of were hurt for not having as much fan support
03:35as they could have to bolster them as competition.
03:37I mean, we were talking about it like this thing should be in Australia every year because
03:41you know, they're going to show up.
03:42They're gonna be drinking their fosters getting after it.
03:45So I think that today having that fan energy in a much bigger way and then having guys
03:51like Tom Kim and Minwoo to pump them up.
03:53It's evil.
03:54They're not playing.
03:55It's helped a lot.
