00:00The players, round one, couple of things here.
00:03First of all, Lucas Glover, six under, to start the day.
00:07I mean, you gotta be kidding me with him.
00:10You know what's funny, Mike?
00:12Yeah, go ahead.
00:14When I did all my stats crunch this week,
00:17guess who comes up at the very top of my list?
00:20Lucas Glover.
00:21And I didn't do anything.
00:22And here he is.
00:23Looks like he's going to catch the first round leader ticket.
00:26And then your boy, Captain Chandler Phillips
00:29here at six under, 12 holes in.
00:31And he's got a few holes to go.
00:33But Pharrell said this before, and it's true.
00:35Usually when you get majors and you get the players,
00:40you want stacked names at the top of the leaderboard.
00:44Now, you don't exactly have that now.
00:47Hopefully by Saturday and Sunday, you will have that.
00:50But as I saw someone making a joke on Twitter earlier today,
00:53it almost seems like a continuation of the Puerto Rico
00:57Open at the top of the board right now,
00:59because we're off to a bit of a slow start with the names that
01:02are at the top of it.
01:03Well, we've talked about that all week, right, Mike?
01:06You and I were on the radio show last night.
01:09You get a lot of randomness at this particular tournament.
01:13Stephen Ames, Tim Clark, Fred Funk,
01:16Jerry Kelly was a fixture on this leaderboard
01:18back in the day.
01:19You remember Kelly from Wisconsin.
01:23Ian Poulter was runner up here twice.
01:25So it's not always Sergio and Tiger and Scotty and Mickelson
01:29and Davis Love and Couples, the guys that
01:31have won this thing before.
01:33There's a bunch of other guys, Matt Kuchar, Webb Simpson,
01:37Siwoo Kim.
01:38There's a bunch of other guys that
01:39are kind of that tier two, tier three,
01:42even further down that have been major players at this
01:47or winners of this event in the past.
01:50It's that type of randomness that you get at the players.
01:52And we talked about it as well.
01:54I think it's a real testament to the Pete Dye design.
01:57The guy, it's his masterpiece.
01:59And it doesn't necessarily cater to just
02:01one particular type of golfer.
02:04No, it does not.
02:05I know one thing.
02:05It won't be catering this Saturday and Sunday
02:07to the likes of Justin Thomas, Victor Hovland, Max Homa.
02:11Those guys flying away this morning with six, seven,
02:15and eight overs on their rounds.
