00:00So if I guess this correctly within 500 steps, one of the listeners is going to get the recovery pen. Do I have that correct?
00:06That's the nature of the competition. All right. So you were at
00:1027,000 yesterday and you had a morning and an afternoon session. So you did 36 holes total today
00:18You just had 18 holes for singles, but you weren't you didn't just do one group. They loops you back do another group
00:24so you're probably in the
00:27All right, I'm gonna go
00:3122,500
00:32It's not quite right
00:3414,000
00:36977 yes, Charlie. Yeah
00:39There was one lucky fan out there. That was just sitting there waiting, you know, they could be using the recovery pen
00:45But now they'll just have to go check out the website and have to work themselves, but maybe it's only 7,000 steps and change off
00:529,000 not a math pod still not a math pod
00:55In any way shape or form
00:57You were just noting kind of some of those margins and the stuff like that and just the way
01:02that this it just feels like Thursday and Friday were so abnormal and so unique for this competition and then
01:09Saturday and Sunday felt a little closer what we've watched the past couple years and the scoreline ends up where the scoreline does
01:15So back to the well with Justin Ray golf who's like just our stats guru
01:20Shaman whisperer any any of those number of things so a couple tweets from him
01:25This will be the largest margin of victory for the away team in President's Cup history
01:30and the with this win
01:33United States are now 13 1 and 1 all-time the event with a lone international win coming in
01:391998 the Americans have led after 41 of the last 46 sessions in the event dating back to
01:452005 singles so smiley I was
01:49Hitting the the panic button on Thursday after a 5-0 US sweep
01:53I was saying we got to blow this thing up. I was suggesting different formats suggesting a mixed version of this event
02:00Are are you anywhere near that now?
02:04Even after all the back-and-forth and and you know
02:07The international is kind of making it close after Friday heading into the weekend
02:10Are you anywhere near we need to reconfigure this competition after looking at this scoreline and where this finished up?
02:16I
02:19Personally think the President's Cup is is
02:22Although you haven't had the results from the international side. I still find it
02:27Fantastic theater. I mean this week. I really just
02:31It felt closer than what the score showed and on
02:35Foreign soil being Royal Montreal. It was you know had so much juice the fans were incredible
02:41You know Thursday, I would say that maybe is one day too many in this is
02:48Somehow, can you can you shrink it up a little bit to where?
02:52The international team isn't quite as exposed with their depth
02:57To me like singles for example, just the advantage that the Americans have
03:03Just with their you know, how deep they are, you know, their their world ranking advantages is 20 when you look at the averages. So
03:11You know with that with that being said it just I like the President's Cup. I enjoy watching anything
03:17That's that that guys care about and show emotion
03:21So personally, no, but is there a way in which you can do a cool team format?
03:27Well, we we kind of do that with Grant Thornton, but does it really like work?
03:32I think you really have to involve
03:35You know pride in in your in who you play for and why you're out there competing and I think it would be cool to
03:42Have a team room with you know
03:44with with mixed teams and and maybe just find a way and you can work that in the schedule every year because I think it
03:50Would be pretty cool to have u.s. Versus the world
03:53And just I think it would be pretty incredible. I think
03:59It feels like the show position is
04:02We want the same to look closer to the Ryder Cup three-day event as you just kind of note at the top of your answer
04:07They're like Friday through Sunday at Royal Montreal. We're electric the fans showed up in a big way. There's a little more subdued
04:15We're not sure why that was the case, but it was the case and it showed up in the scoreline
04:19So I think it feels like we're on the same page of can we get this thing to three days?
04:23I think also and it's interesting even the quotes leading up to this
04:28I think it was Adam Scott who was saying that
04:31Just being asked about his involvement in negotiations with the PIF and live and saying
04:36Optimistic date for a potential reunification is
04:402026 a more realistic date would be
04:432027
04:45That is what that means is that we'd have one more president's cup under this current sort of, you know
04:52Talent imbalance and it's a shame because like I don't know where
04:55Cam Smith and Joaquin Neiman and a number of others games are gonna be in 2028
05:00You know when this thing could potentially be reunified and we could have a more stocked
05:03International roster because it feels like we're missing out on some of those primes those guys that really could have kept this thing a little
05:08Closer like I would have loved to seen
05:11Cam Smith in the lineup today playing singles against one of the best American players
05:15Same for Joaquin Neiman or a number of other guys that could have been in consideration for the international team
05:20Have we not had the split but it doesn't feel like we're gonna get there
05:24Fast enough for that to show up and kind of bounce competition now
05:28There could be a new wave of talent that comes in at that point
05:30You have a new wave of us, you know
05:32Australians and South Americans and it's a different different ballgame then but that's kind of I lament that we missed out on that
05:38I mean, yeah, I guess so
05:40It could have you know, if they didn't decide to leave, you know, then that I think we have that conversation every week, right?
05:47Yeah
05:48But when it comes to the President's Cup and just the competitive nature of it it I still feel like you know
05:55Just watching both teams and how they performed it was, you know, just I thought that the United States was just more clutch
06:04It wasn't about that. They were just that much better. They just came up in big moments and that to me was
06:11The difference and it wasn't as overwhelming as it may may look like when you look at the final score
06:18Because I saw some incredible golf from the internationals
06:22They they really played hard for one another
06:26Now do I agree with all of the decisions that Mike we are made? No, I think there's plenty of decisions
06:33That we can look at
