Patrick Fishburn

But I have to say I didn't know it was quite that blurred with the conditional guys from the PGA Tour side.

You know, this point you just make about how the 2 through 20, they talk about it as graduating, but you're right, that's a bit of a misnomer.

And it was really interesting talking with Patrick Fishburne and his agent Rob Despain.

When Patrick... graduated and and got pga tour status coming off the corn ferry and then they get into it and they go well wait this this is different than we thought it was going to be because um they just were so far down the pecking order even though they had that card from the corn ferry um it it was still hard to get in to tournaments and so i i love your use of the word myth associated with that um it And then you combine that with, like I say, with what Zach's saying, that two through 20 through the Corn Ferry qualification is almost equal to 101 through 125 on the PGA Tour qualification.

That's a really important insight, I think, to understand.

It kind of points to the big show.

Yeah, it really does.

And then you mix in the fact that Patrick Fishburne is 145 and Tony Finau is 98.

From three footers to 3 a.m. laundry, life on the PGA Tour is more grind than glory.

Go figure.

And just an awful lot going on there.

And we're going to be talking with Patrick Fishburne later in the show.

He's on a bit of a break right now, spending some family time, break in between the regular season and the fall series.

And it is an important time for Patrick in the arc of his career.

Let's do it.

We need to take a break.

When we come back on the other side, Patrick Fishburne joins us live.

Obviously, you're not going to shoot as many of them on the PGA Tour, but... you need to be comfortable with it.

Well, par is more valuable on the big show.

And, and Patrick Fishburne likes to talk about that, uh, how he, he feels like he is better suited for the PJ tour than the fit than the corn ferry, because, uh, he is more comfortable where par is more meaningful, which in some ways is kind of interesting to hear from the guy who totally carpet bombed the Utah open, um, when it by nine shooting next to nothing.

Yeah.

And, um, but nonetheless he says look i'm i i think my game is more suited to the big show i think my game is more suited to the pga tour rather than the corn fairy and legit point so we do need to to just uh report a little bit on zach blair uh we have talked on the show about this we will talk more about this zach is in the in the most unique and and just almost unbelievable position of being on the bubble and in sight of making the tour, the PGA Tour, getting full status on the PGA Tour from two different lines in, either the Korn Ferry Point system or the PGA Tour Point system.

When Peter Quest won this tournament, he dominated.

But I was also thinking of Patrick Fishburne.

who

carpet bombed this place.

Okay, so last week the boys were at the Wyndham.

Patrick Fishburne finished T49 minus 6, 274 on rounds of 68, 68, 68, and 70.

Not bad.
