00:00Let's start with the first part of those two things that you just brought up right now, and that is Justin Rose.
00:05Now, full disclosure, me and Cam both have Justin Rose for first-round leader.
00:12I got 80, Cam got 70, so we are trying to get through these last couple holes here and get this in the barn.
00:19But eight under here through 16, he was in front of that tree on 17, looked like he got out of it okay.
00:25They have not shown the third shot on TV yet, so I'm not sure where he's gone from there.
00:31He's been first-round leader four times in the past.
00:34He's got runner-up here.
00:35He's played the course a billion times.
00:37Quite the performance from Justin Rose here, no matter how this last hole-and-a-half goes.
00:43You know, it's interesting, Mike.
00:45I go back to full swing three.
00:47You know, Rose was in one of those episodes, and he said, you know, I'm only in this for Legacy anymore.
00:51I want Ryder Cups and major championships.
00:53Well, hey, I got to give the guy credit because it's either put up or shut up.
00:57I mean, this year he's got two top tens.
00:58They're both signature events, the AT&T and the API.
01:02Last year he had two top tens, one at the PGA, and he was runner-up at the Open Championship in major championships.
01:08I mean, this guy, he's focused, he's patient, and he has what we all consider to be a very major championship-like skill set, right?
01:16He drives it far enough, but he's very steady, very patient.
01:20He's got Fooch back on the bag the last couple of years, and you've heard a lot of conversations today on TV between the two of them, right?
01:26There's no impulsive decisions.
01:28They're very calm.
01:29They're very collected.
01:30They know what they're doing around this place.
01:32He's got 20 starts.
01:34You know, it's one of those things where if you looked at Justin Rose on a Thursday, you'd say, man, you guys made two good bets.
01:40I don't personally love the first-round leader market, but you guys do, and I think that you were very savvy.
01:45I mean, one other thing I'll say about Rose is that if you go back since strokes gain stats started here back in 2020, right, only one guy's better strokes gain putting on the property in the Masters, and that's Patrick Reed.
01:59Rose is number two, so I feel good about you and Cam, the prime minister, crossing the finish line this afternoon.
02:05Well, he did just hit that third shot, a great shot.
02:09He's right by the stick.
02:10He should be able to get this in for par on 17, stay at eight under as he goes to the 18th tee box.
02:18And look, you know, we're nuts, Keith.
02:20I mean, I know that it's not a great – it's not a great EV bet, plus EV bet, first-round leader.
02:26But we're nuts, and we like having a crazy time every Thursday with them.
02:31So we go with it, and hopefully we're going to get Rose through the door.
