00:00The last part I want to talk about is your experience playing in the Walker Cup because the Americans had lost three straight
00:06Before you played in one at the Chicago Golf Club. Yeah, what was that experience like playing in a Walker Cup and then also
00:14maybe the
00:16Just you've been a part of a team
00:18I guess that how important it was to go out and win and the pressure that you may have felt
00:22Kind of similar to what these guys may feel later in New York this September when we have this Ryder Cup
00:29Yeah, I mean you're bringing back some good memories Walker Cup in Chicago, you know, that was a how here was that
00:35It was it was a little bit unfortunate to be honest because it poured rain for like two weeks leading up to the event. So
00:43The balls weren't even like coming out of their marks on the green
00:46It was so it was so wet, but it was still an incredible experience
00:50I
00:52We had a great time. I think we stayed maybe 20 minutes outside of the city
00:56I remember Anthony Kim was on the team of me and we decided a ton John or JV Holmes
01:01I think he was John Holmes at the time
01:04And then a bunch of other guys
01:08The USGA was great great to us we had a blast
01:13But yeah, I was killer Jeff Overton, I think I think I had the win at the winning putt
01:19And he got some solid week. I got they they stuck me with Lee Williams and
01:24We battled each other all around that that joy it was hilarious
01:28Did uh, he was on the European team any any notable names? They come to mind probably man. My memory is so bad
01:35Yeah, I didn't know if there's just like this, you know, I'm probably or something like that totally whiffing on it
01:41But they're probably no there wasn't a Rory. No
01:44Maybe like this Reese Davies. Remember that guy? Yeah. Yeah, he played on the European to remember that
01:50But
01:52Hardly anything else that I can recall. I don't think he ever made it over over to the big tour
01:56Not that yeah, not that I'm my my memory. He's Tennessee's there. He's Tennessee State guy
02:02That was a European pipeline at one point man. That's where Rory was signed to go, right? Was he really?
02:08Committed to go there. I don't know if he's signed but yeah, they just go to Wales and Ireland to recruit for
02:14Can you imagine Rory showing up to East Tennessee State?
02:17I don't even know where it is. Like just going from that to that thinking, huh?
02:23Yeah one day
02:25That's funny, dude
02:27Reminds me. I was playing the Northeast amateur one year
02:30It's like my I think it might have been like my junior year junior year summer. Yeah, and buddy called me
02:36What a boy say, right? Yes, and
02:38Buddy called me. He's like, hey
02:41There's this Australian kid that's gonna be there and he's thinking about coming to
02:46Coming to college I need you to talk to him and try to get him to come to Florida. It was Jason day. So I
02:52there's this dinner and
02:54And I see these two I know there are two Australian guys and one
03:00Looks like a normal guy and then the other guy is taller
03:03it looks a little more athletic to be honest at the time and kind of looks like Will Ferrell from night at the Roxbury and
03:10It's his buddy David Luterus who's just an all-time human and I would I had you know
03:15I think I had a couple drinks and I'm like 20 20 or 21, you know
03:19Yeah, and I go this is a guy who's just toxic
03:22So I go up and I just start talking to David like he was Jason and Jason was right next to him
03:28But we think we ended up figuring it out. It's funny story
