AlexHOST
No, yeah.
AlexHOST
He received a sponsor invite to the Butterfield Bermuda Championship and the Rocket Mortgage Classic in 2024.
AlexHOST
So...
AlexHOST
As a 15-year-old.
Chris McKeeHOST
... from where I am in Toronto.
Chris McKeeHOST
I m- I was down at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit a couple weeks ago-
Jay AronGUEST
Right
Chris McKeeHOST
... and was fully planning on going to Live Michigan, and here I am in-
Jackson KoivunSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And fortunately, it worked out for me today.
Dylan DethierHOST
The very next week, Michael Thor Bjornsson won the Rocket Classic in Detroit, a reminder of his own massive talents.
Michael ThorbjornsenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I don't really know how to feel.
Michael ThorbjornsenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'm feeling a lot of things.
Patrick McDonaldHOST
He's just fallen back into some of those bad habits from 2023, like early 24 before he won the major championships of good finishes on paper.
Patrick McDonaldHOST
But did he really give himself a chance to win this golf tournament? Probably gave himself two chances, the Players' Championship and the Rocket Classic.
Patrick McDonaldHOST
But for someone of his skill set and coming off a disappointing 25, I thought he was primed for a bounce back.
Patrick McDonaldHOST
And I don't think we saw him kind of full flighted this year.
Greg DuCharmeHOST
And the worst looking area of his game statistically is the putter.
Greg DuCharmeHOST
Struggle with the putter at the Wyndham and the Rocket Classic.
Greg DuCharmeHOST
Those are on two different surfaces.
Greg DuCharmeHOST
Putted really well at the 3M Open, obviously, when he won.
7 MINS LATER
Greg DuCharmeHOST
In fact, he was fourth in tee to green this year and third in strokes gain approach.
Greg DuCharmeHOST
So really good ball striking year for Patrick Cantlay.
Greg DuCharmeHOST
And he came at second here at the BMW Championship, tied 12th at the FedEx St. Jude, tied eighth at the Rocket Classic.
Greg DuCharmeHOST
He made a strong enough push at the end of this season to earn his way onto this team.
Paul WilliamsHOST
So I don't make any apologies for backing a couple of previous winners here.
Paul WilliamsHOST
Fourth at the Rocket Classic on the PGA Tour.
Paul WilliamsHOST
That was last month.
Paul WilliamsHOST
He was second at the Danish Golf Championship when I backed him last.
Steve BamfordHOST
He was actually, I always like this, all five of his strokes gained indicators were green, positive.
Steve BamfordHOST
And we did know a few weeks ago, I mean, he was literally down in like the 180s in the FedEx Cup rankings.
Steve BamfordHOST
And he finished fourth at the Rocket Classic in Detroit to vault himself around the 100 mark now.
Steve BamfordHOST
So he clearly, Rasmus needs to be playing well for the rest of the year because...
Josh EdmondsGUEST
It's a shot in the arm to be like, oh my gosh, someone else believes the way that we believe.
Josh EdmondsGUEST
So it was a $3 million investment that was made from the Rocket Community Fund through the Rocket Mortgage Classics PGA Tour.
Josh EdmondsGUEST
And the whole focus of the PGA Tour, at least when it was the Rocket Mortgage Classic, was changing the course in the digital divide.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
And so
Baz PlummerHOST
He's got a great record at this golf course, finished runner-up twice in addition to his victory.
Baz PlummerHOST
But he was also fifth at the Rocket Classic and seventh at the Wyndham to tie up his PGA Tour season, which is incredibly impressive in relatively strong fields.
Baz PlummerHOST
He ranks fourth for strokes gained approach and fourth strokes gained around the green in the last 12 months in this field, which again, for me, as I said before, perfectly fits the model better than anybody else.
Baz PlummerHOST
So when you add that in with his great course form and his recent good form, You cannot possibly talk me out of Matt Wallace this week.
Skylar HoakHOST
But I liked the way he closed the year.
Skylar HoakHOST
T45 at the Rocket Classic, I believe at the halfway point, he was somewhat near, yeah, 354, he was inside the top 20 with a bunch of birdies, with a bunch of birdies there.
Skylar HoakHOST
And then same thing, halfway point at the Wyndham, T26, a lot of birdies.
Skylar HoakHOST
74 on Saturday, finishes with a 68 on Sunday.
TomHOST
You know, he shot two 63s at the Wyndham.
TomHOST
He shot a 64 at the Rocket Classic.
TomHOST
He finished at the top 20 at the Open.
TomHOST
He was ninth in Germany as well.
