00:00Rory thinks still that eventually the door is going to kick in Scotty here he
00:10is it doesn't bother me you know I know that I'm in a good spot and like I you
00:16know if I think about 2015 through 2020 that five-year stretch I I seldom had a
00:25realistic chance to win a major championship in that five-year period so
00:28I'd much rather have these close calls it means that I'm that I'm getting closer
00:32but yeah absolutely I'd love to be able to you know play the golf and get one
00:38over the line but as soon as I do that people are gonna say well when are you
00:41gonna win your sixth so at all it's never-ending yeah I don't I don't know
00:46about that I just know that he needs to break the ice finally on winning it's
00:52been too long and to see what happened to him at Pinehurst and then he's
00:56wandering around Manhattan looking up at skyscrapers and talking to himself I
01:01mean I feel bad for this guy in fact I want him to win I want him to win it in
01:09fact that's who I'm gonna bet on I want him to win it I'm this has got to end at
01:14some point the bleeding has to stop you know when I was on the war for in
01:18Carver high and you cut yourself you bleed for three or four days your boy
01:22Rory's been on the war for in for too long bleed now we need the bleeding to
01:27stop we need him to win it true need him to win a trune that I wouldn't listen I
01:34I have a lot of guys that I want to win this week if I had to lose I wouldn't
01:41mind seeing Roy I don't root against Rory there's plenty of times that I have
01:45backed Rory there's plenty of times he's let me down could there be a chance that
01:50if Rory's playing well Scotty on Thursday Friday or Saturday that I try
01:56to do a little put it with the golf and and add him with like a home run get a
01:59nice price on him I very well good and I would like to see Rory win I would
02:04because he he's always in everything I know this has been excruciating probably
02:12for him especially the last three to four years where he's had some real
02:16calls he's gonna win another major it's got it's gonna eventually happen for him
02:24and you never know that could open the floodgates to him winning maybe two more
02:28maybe three more I mean he ain't getting up into that ridiculous talk that people
02:32thought ten years ago but he's gonna win another didn't the last time he lost it
02:37at st. Andrews he turned around and won the tour championship and won all that
02:40money down at Eastlake correct that was two years ago he won all the 15 or 20
02:45million whatever it is at the tour championship yeah so he's he's had a
02:50knack of kind of bouncing back off of these really excruciating major losses
02:57obviously played the Scottish last week and now this is his second event since
03:02the US Open and he didn't play for us we got in think I he finished in the top 10
03:08I don't remember exactly where in the top 10 he finished but he did finish in
03:12the top 10 it leaves for the Renaissance Club he might have been yeah
03:16they had there was a pretty big logjam for I think like six or seven guys died
03:20for fourth so he must have finished in that in that bunch right there I'm
03:25worried about his cutting his short putts he's gotta have the yips yes
