And when that's happening, that seems to be something internally, even if I can't, from the outside looking in, diagnose exactly where that problem is.
46:15
That's exactly how I feel to the point where I'm, I'm done trying to figure out where to put the blame.
46:20
It, it...
46:20
You could...
46:21
Any combination of some kind of, uh, the top level of the front office, from the manager to the hitting coach to the pitching side, which Derek Johnson, the pitching coach, left the team earlier this year, and I, I still do not know if we have an answer as to why, or it could be for personal reason.
46:36
We don't.
46:36
That's just not really been followed up on, to be honest.

This is, do you think, a two club wind? Two and a half, maybe.

Talk me through, what are we trying to do with this ball? Well, this wind is extremely strong and going to drift it right.

I'm going to hit it hard.

Oh,

What's the nature of your relationship with them now and has it changed now that there's new leadership there?
30:26
It has changed many different times over the course of the years.
30:30
It started out kind of as we were up and coming, they were kind of catching wind of the rise.
30:38
And I think in the 2017 Players Championship, they invited a bunch of, not only us, but a bunch of people kind of in this up and coming golf space to come to the players.
30:45
Like, we'll put you up, we'll fly you in.
30:47
Really? Just come cover the players.
30:48
And there was like, okay, there's some open doors here.
34:47
What what's your solution? What how would you fix it?
23:26
Really?
23:26
It just, uh, oh, man.
23:27
I mean, I was absolutely right 'cause I was, I mean, I was def- I've rooted for Rory my, my, basically my whole, my whole life.
23:34
Uh, he's part of the reason why we have the platform we have, like he's always been so gracious with his time.
23:39
He helped put us on the map.
23:40
Like I just have always appreciated the way he goes about his business.
23:43
I've appreciated the stance and the leadership role he's taken in, you know, golf's civil war.

30:17
Is it relief? Is it joy? Is it a mixture of both? And where do you see Rory going from here? I feel like this could just springboard him and his confidence into a new stratosphere.
30:25
stratosphere.Well, I think the relief is...
30:28
It has multiple layers to it.
30:30
One, in that, uh, i- it's a burden that he's carried for at least a decade, in terms of trying to complete the Career Grand Slam, but as far as winning a Green Jacket, you go all the way back to 2011.
30:40
He held a big lead going into the final round, shot 80, uh, you know, a historic collapse.
30:44
Everyone's seen the images of that and him chipping out from behind a cabin, uh, on the 10th hole on the second nine there.
30:50
And it's, it's been a golf course that has been in his head, it's undeniable.
