Brad Faxon

What a coward or three Dennis and Callahan now around to the masters suit will be underway at Augusta national joining us on the full lines. Now from Rhode Island brad Faxon -- how are you do what I'm doing well -- ago. It pretty good brad hey I wonder already has told us he will not or cannot watch the Super Bowl if he's not involved out of Della -- coming from do you watch the masters and if you do you feel good about it or bad about it not being there -- obviously want to be there but did you watch it.

I end it is one of the few that I actually watch. I don't know I've taught this but that the little bit in -- little kid -- the only major that we play the open court every year so

and the only one with a with four minutes of commercials per -- that it that's.

Also they -- If it is nice to be not know what the Hitler and the.

Who works harder at making it a tough test of golf US TA for the US open the masters committee at Augusta.

At the request I would say US GA practicing. Kind of pick off yeah you know if you look at the tired coming to beat everybody says there is that conditions it's ever been and and -- one players are complaining about anything about the golf course you know that this is probably -- trial court we've been in years. It's the first time that the length lengthening the golf course that it. And in what's right and you know a lot of people think that. When you make a golf course long. Like they had you know -- 7000 -- it before but now that. Really aim to make the course play longer than it's going to be more difficult but as we've seen over the years whatever it -- The greens are firm in fairly firm think -- be viewed as less club but the -- but all of them out and he's starting yet they with a lot of players sitting even short irons it would take big bounces and you know over the green well at this.

But we're -- the clock type comments about -- never do right.

Oh you don't you know you actually you know a player they these greens are so true -- have to you know -- on the wrong side you're not going to. It's going to be able to make a birdie. -- and they got an exceptional was designed so that could be a second -- golf course we had control of the ball as early as you can certainly Eric. And you know if you talk to the real traditionalist the game news Nicklaus is in the present because that it played here for years have been -- in. I think what with the -- with the new committees you know they've made the golf course. Much tougher by setting trees adding this -- in the -- disrupt that. Well it will happen. Recorders about the Internet. Applicant recorder and the ball not sitting up in the area but the golf related not just -- up I was up there like almost -- We yeah write the -- now start to become. A little bit more you know the little -- little harder -- it's not out of that really the whole leaned in and out of the rough the courses. Becoming more US open like right at the moment tighter off to see holes like number one number 11 number two of these talked --

you help us understand the difference of putting all of those greens versus what we -- play around here even at the nice courses on a Saturday or Sunday the don't ask us -- tiger. Well first of all the -- team I'm not an injury hit the ball an and it you know it it went downhill six or seven feet and there was -- eagle putt I believe on what a class par five was. That was probably 35 feet and he barely touched the ball and it and it went 35 or 40 feet can you give us any kind of analogy as to what the difference between that is what we play here.

By Agassi announced you would be you can't even as there is nothing to you know when you go to. -- got. You might have to play like I'd he's -- of -- the you can't simulate these greens but there's a purpose and that this thing I've ever played anyway. And in what makes the more difficult more different is there's so much until it. You know when you watch tiger but it is equally as he hit the -- basically. Out of the air for 30 that it took forever you know he's big if you get -- but -- got out of it. You know it and it and it's kind of that there -- like everybody else that -- what you do not that it.

Would it would it be like try to hit a six footer on your kitchen linoleum.

And that's pretty much what it's like yeah and it -- to it and it's really really hard to do it you know. -- the greens have so well it's. Difficult to have ward five with. It's you know -- that at least two or three -- outsider up outside but there's always a lot of great a lot of you know I don't imagine. He.

Well who who decided that was the best test of golf for the best test of putting in the white. You have to putt on day -- a pool table to prove your good potter what little. When did that start obviously you know Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson didn't putt on greens that fast.

If you watch -- early you know. The late 70s early 80s these greens or anything like there were times when and after the other courses but. But that they hit it about the -- in the court the court things from. Of the muted you know -- he's been crapping and you know I think that if the committee want the -- these different and better than every other term and appeared you know. You know at all people -- Whether it was those things like -- it it's really want the biggest reason why anybody want to watch the masses what goes on the green. I think it's great for the tournament is great for -- and at some people that they've. You know it's too fast or reject the I don't think you'll you don't -- a lot of players like.

Why why do the best players -- the masters analyze it. Always seems to be that the cream at the top -- the at the end of the day.

It is and they mean -- is adopting. What does it make the -- is that mainly -- would you know I keep thinking about. Little things like when we're in the peace in the playoffs. How he won that thing to. To bring -- that -- look at the leaderboard today it over the top and you'll -- you know six to seven of those. All you know they're not going to be years in the wind. I think it should the pressure of the media pressure phenomenal coincidence is that year which is one of the biggest.

Cools you in the world and you know that the need to keep -- and you do you have to do you know it makes you think and there -- they're execute either him or the bat in the first but the -- in the last. -- you know 79. It it's just the hardest tournament for four days it's the longest four days --

And they look at tiger saying he's four backed -- they have to be. Looking -- and a behind their backs immediately I mean if you wetter Richard Justin rose you looking around and how quickly will he catch us.

Well you know -- that's exactly right in you know tiger but he -- utley and did but. If -- court playing so difficult supplement called me yet went on the court and he shot 76 that he played. But he played that he -- but he he played great. That the you know the first bolt into the -- and north would be -- private or influence with had a pretty good last week -- to replace them you know dirt hit wood into the 15 hole where normally you'd you'd think as a mid iron in to battle the court player and top. I have a feeling with the weather forecast the week if you're even in the -- got a pretty it went in lake. They're confident held the first threat of at least 678 you know the court that he planned one good arm by any of those type going to get them in the --

Eight Cabrera what do you think about the the the opportunity for Gary player to go out there and shoot 83 and Raymond Floyd 77 and Larry minds 83 and 70 troops it was seven shooting 86 the old guys go going after it embarrassing themselves -- your take on that.

Well you know the perception of the of the masters champion and a lifetime exemptions is is very cool you know seeing a player played his 50.

You know it'd be -- again going to be hard. An idol I think in the you know he turned up and he he's going to be out there -- it though it -- maybe he wouldn't let I think it's cool -- From -- exit after awhile like you know let's not gonna play anymore. But it's it's part of that these little aura of old place in the in that locker -- you know it -- It -- I think it's the only probably Italy with.

We gotta ask brad because you know you're pretty popular guy without people you know they they think view this is one of our guys. A little wants to know at what stage of your game are you what but is it mental physical bowl is an old age why are you struggle.

Is it about being. You know what it is that it's been a little bit of everything in Choi actually came back at it there's really came back little bit quick and prepared well but you know these things started the -- like golf swing and lost confidence is shot up the little around the greens and it was just gradual meltdown in the -- haven't done that have started playing a little bit better the last couple week great.

Making cuts make.

In a couple that made some progress and you know I'm I'm happy to physically not. Not that I wouldn't or stop playing if that little bit nobody in the back in. Could erupt Seattle. You know it'll make it pretty -- but if that place.

Is about time efforts Sergio to you know water get off the pot -- a long time he's still young and and and I get a shot whatever so -- 677 yesterday it is about Sampras and say. Stop saying he's the next superstar in waiting.

Let's talk what you know I I -- it would have been ecstatic that it had a couple majors by now by you know you know keeping the pretty -- at a you know unique swing you compare to -- always hit the ball unbelievably well in the the leader and that combined driving distance -- in the last years and you know it really. Knock them down pretty hard in the the popular guy you know among and apparent the players things in the way. I have about what he does what he says it's in ops incident at the Tokyo. Let I don't know I I think that you know it's like what's. With billion but the longer you go without. Competing and winning unit that big part of it -- part and he's point six not what you want it.

Does a fills my way you know -- probably watching is that talk about the defending champ -- that a girl who won this last year and they oh Phil let's. That's right that was a few weeks before completely self destructed that was like the end of Phil Mickelson whose career as we knew -- had a brief run. As a guy who could handle the pressure and didn't beat himself. That ended at the US open last year at this time yeah that was the man is he damaged.

You know what it's it's hard not to be you know first of all how many chances you have the winning US open when you're in on the -- and oh lead. And you know he self destructed on everybody would you agree with the lady to ever you know only he knows that was right do.

I don't know what. That that's relevant it is because it. Second shot is where could this notes out just went right at an acre to salvage the hall won the open and no one would even remember the hit driver.

Exactly is that with the artist thing with bill. It every week get in contention or -- over the US open. You know I thought I thought a big step in if it was anything about these kind of dominated that lasted eight in the -- beat in. And won their convincingly in final pick it up that -- put it -- good graces and you know they'll then kind of an enigma when he goes to Augusta and win the first you know what what you played unbelievably well you know in the opening at a plant went. You know you never dealt with the when he's been so up. It would be a part of a 68 today but it wouldn't be surprised because that.

It much discussion about discipline in the National Football League the shores of pac man Jones and that kind of stuff I think the PGA handles that a lot were quietly militants Sergio spitting in the cup before. Will will -- what will happen to him if that already hasn't happened to him in terms of fine being dressed down and the second part of that question is -- you've sought out will be on the final hole against Scott last week. When he snapped it into the water. Look right in the camera right in the camera and and and ripped out an F bomb right on TV does does that get mentioned.

Lungs it. Took off the end -- what do you agree with that it if you do -- action you know behind closed -- and -- you think anything in the newspaper. That part about that is bad for golf right and it it's hard to disagree with that because you you rarely the anything in the paper. Golfer doesn't. You know -- they knew that anything -- News right -- It's like sentences have excited you know sit in the cup. When -- up that date look at the -- in it in the got I don't know it would be an animal mind because the first the.

Define minimal. About how much out okay and an F -- on camera.

a camera a lot worse you know tiger does that at Pebble Beach in the US open when he looked in the water on 18. And you know he would have a lot of but he warned that there wouldn't be surprised I didn't see that as a benefit with the first I heard that. Thought it got but I didn't. You're he would yeah it -- it -- audible at the big number that I think.

Tokyo really have you ever spit in the cup. It it it.

I don't think that even if it.

If you know different secured it and it looked pretty quote current -- flexibility. Right in the heart all the -- gets down that low right exactly oh man unit. You know you slipped in at 30 but it we lose your test it yet. It was instant instant think about drive your BMW into a three for.

And I at the stuff while our development I you know in. Everybody -- of the -- it was the type that.

I've heard stories about -- the -- out there early and they go play at a couple courses and they say. Couple back -- there behind it they have they play and they. It you know couple guys like is. You know -- and that is your. I don't know what happened that this that supposedly sizes overtake them and then that -- they they know what the work rate I don't know that it could.

The good. That's the bad the good news is he beat -- is Winnebago that it tape of that of that no one not known names but of the lesser lights on the leaderboard rose wetter. Howell Vaughn Taylor Tim Clark. Which one of these guys is likely to be there on Sunday you know slug that would tiger or Phil or someone else.

I I'd go out there and -- Tim Clark -- in the the last you know -- you'll remember that you know.

I do we hold out the the whole lot of sand shot on 18.

He did and it up guy that'll rip injuries this is really have probably ever played -- to all of let I just traded Justin rose that. He -- greens in regulation it today in in a tip in and to stop going to keep puts a lot of pressure on the -- they behind 17 green. That's way better than being on the front of the green and even -- a better it make birdie but you know. If you look at the guys and what happened the that are vacant bogeyed both the time around the greens oh. I that are great partner in the guys that part of I'd use the longer pottery.

If you haven't resorted to that -- not that's that's that it it it it it which -- schedule look like brad I'm going -- Monday to -- are when when that -- would take a jacket he won it off men normally. New -- a lot of new court of erratic at destructive there are. But -- art house all our CPC doing a year but always looked up from they've made some changes right yet. It out -- I look at -- these changes I assume you work I actually a league but we sure goal deficit to make look all.

A chemical make it look like -- New England style do you do that. Well you do a lot of things in other that was probably don't know if we put. -- the old -- that'd been you know on the property world that there we made the bunkers or all that looked -- not a modern look we tried they have a lot of -- rated they were mortal lighten we tried to make. From the old -- Every hole it was at a rate in order they would try to have some current level from the tee boxes we put -- green and people would rival all of them or we -- that -- believable we native partly 16 and -- look like 13 -- sawgrass with almost an island like green. Much shorter shot but if you one of those.

there. It would make sure -- you have Jerry in my addressed sent the invitations for the tiger -- night before the tournament party at your house at the Deutsche Bank. You are dresses right for the right.

I know I don't look at all my home number -- another ruling. Mark -- about.

Affects us we heard -- discussion at the Daisuke party to instantly out ruling and nobody had an answer. And I -- somebody will have an answer for battling also showing off in front of -- yeah I know about brad Faxon.

The funny thing but I hurt myself falling too far away from muted yet. Do that the so we'll all we'll -- it is excellent it was a yeah.

Yet the not just -- like at the ruling out.

Jerry -- If that was not like I'm going to note of.

The idea you saw -- a idiot or whatever USS stats that CF Jerry built the ruling brown -- I would never -- at home. Sorry brad.

I remember it I -- I -- development that when you've had a couple good. But I hope you made money out

not much in question. The question a friend of mine said he was trying to trying to do not a short pitched on to agree there was sand trap in in between and the green so fast and so slope in the landed on the green could never hold it when he wanted to sort of splashed into the sand -- up at the sand and an up on the green at. In the standard's going to either go over the it's and try to putt at the stand up on the great. And what he wanted to do was walked toward the pin and walked to the stand to see it was hard and -- down or soft the floppy that we he'd had a hard to get it. And he wanted to know was that a penalty is for real for. -- answer brad.

I told him there is that if you walk through -- and the field what detection -- the band that that the penalty but it you would do that they'd they'd stop darted at.

Not so -- and its economic system yeah you know. That would that would ever had departed got a topic zero want to talk to Monday excellent excellent -- although recap. Recap what I've read document --
