" Our number three Dennis and Callahan yes I am going to work if all week this week -- sure our friend brad Faxon -- out. And he still responsibilities drive to revive the middle like good morning facts how are you. Yeah I'm glad to be back bench until then he did a nice job by the way yeah a lot worse. I I told them you would set -- seed though he wasn't happy doesn't like people sit missy yeah brad. I can count it likely that at least -- boatload we still do -- don't do it paid would you rather poorly and putt great or hit it great and putt like crap. Incredibly managed it poorly putt great yeah sure. For sure you know which is what you normally do you think that like Nadal and --"

" You know it's -- to seamlessly into everything afterwards it. You know in this Tiger Woods era where we've you know we're all thankful that became our average didn't jumped up all the purses and exposure. You know it's it's up for a guy like Trevor Logan who really played great golf this week in and -- and a they're kind of a miscue at number sixteen on Sunday he played flawless golf in. He's not going to take credit like he should because tiger putted badly last week mean that that's the -- everybody expects tiger with every will certainly play that he doesn't. Only because he played poorly and not because somebody yelled play great."

" somebody told you prior to everybody teeing off and at final round and by the way if somebody told tiger -- the four guys above him on the leaderboard. A moment would shoot 75 snicker would shoot 77. Flesch would shoot 78 and Casey would shoot 79 you add tiger would have but he's going to win the tournament would you not have."

" Probably you know it is it just it's showed you can look at the the looked -- guys with scored they shot. You know given that shot 68 but he played early there were few of the court under par it was a really cup they've very windy yeah it did tiger may become all week long -- this course he taught the course in the world. When there's a little bit away and and you don't know that is you know especially those last few holes. You know at a amen corner -- we're all the trees are it's so hard to figure out what the wind doing any -- he cut back way to start lap and get no you know well."

" You know it was impossible to shoot like 66 so. I didn't feel like John didn't I didn't feel like tiger let this one get away I -- he shot even par which was. Pretty good I mean that's that's pretty for his by his standards it's been what made -- three years since he's shot in the sixties around in the sixties and at the masters rollicking good moves low there on a regular basis."

" Right and you know that was a respectable around in you know so -- the course. It looked so cup it was playing along hated it it was wet and I just. It looked like the greens were -- for a lot of guys nobody was making -- for a little on the weekend that tiger makes some problem. Number eleven but it didn't feel -- of the week in the after you're seeing guys just make putts left and right it just didn't look like anybody attic oh."

" Joe Bradford well as he hit the ball and his group were as good -- position he was in and the birdie putts some of the six and eight footers that he missed. My sense is the tiger went to bed last night -- that was out there for the taking for me."

" Absolutely you know these. He probably can't he do to disappoint the waited you know he he finished second -- to finish second it's. It's remarkable -- he's won all the major chip which it's all thirteen but he's never come from behind in this. This was the perfect kinda do it but you know it -- and had a great stat. If you if you didn't know much about Trevor Evelyn before and we've won in Europe before the South Africa. I mean he's got a great golf swing at it -- look at his swing technically -- it's beautiful to watch. But he had a step that's really impressive he was number one in fairways hit. Number five and driving distance yeah. -- was number one in greens in regulation that the great combination. And and he got up -- if you watched. The whole sort of the -- it's it's a little bit easier to watch cigarettes such Yankee game but he got up on the third hole and took driver out number three to 340 yards. Park or where most guys play the position they're but he was so -- but -- people that he just got up to -- the driver right elemental."

" Yeah a lesser -- a two by four driving accuracy in greens in regulation in the masters is going to put it near the top of the leaderboard."

" Absolutely you know Trevor Trevor did that in very articulate even cop to it and -- I haven't seen what tiger's putting stats were after after the weekend. But you know the guys superhuman most of the time when he putts like a normal person that the Taiwanese not going to win."

" Yeah I was like most people mama you guys but I was rooting for Branson an -- you had to root -- this kid. With a big smile 8 days ago OP Opie Taylor out and he just. Fell apart which we do we'd like him brad do we know brad some -- and -- and same question a moment. Good guy bad guy -- or did good for golf."

" Well they're both they're both great for golf both great guys we absolutely I would pull out Cabrera a little bit complete he is committed to play the CDS struggle we have our press conference today and we -- open we'd be lucky at the matches in two years in a row and we evident right now. As of this morning out in more than that hopefully it'll play again he played one before -- nick price the price is covered but both were -- great guys -- really looks like you haven't went out there you know he kind of looks. You know he looks young he looks like he's a little bit nervous third Skippy out there but he he's a great player drives the ball late you know you'd kinda think that the masters champion is always going to be some guy who earned his keep it you know it's it's not like. -- first time guys go there when there's not too many. Guys which never heard of could go you know you lots use -- never got a guy that's where there's. Eyeglasses backcourt and chewing -- little in the masters you know body joke bullet."

" Well the last two years the masters champs are our guys have won only one time of the PGA tour. And in --"

" And Trevor yet I I would say Trevor had a lot more international experience than. That fact that you know he he would've won two big tournaments in Europe and Asia has played at the presidents cup for Gary player. You know -- Gary player cough him up Saturday night and tells them. You know you're going to win this thing and you know that that's the great thing but that I think that the more pressure on -- not --"

" Well speaking of pressure and he responded and it seems to me that that this thing was over and I kept watching to the end obviously. But he in my estimation it was over when that bizarre -- backwards world."

" The my text by the way told to sit detects when it was over I know you watch and I hated it -- told you want it."

" Well with somebody else did -- that wasn't that you didn't miss much no -- after tiger at the 75 foot birdie on eleven and that he goes to thirteen punches out. From there at the would ship for the pine straw. And and he passes eight about a four foot birdie at element off the green putts in for par on eleven that was like a bizarre backwards world we expected a moment to miss and tiger to make and suddenly I'm thinkin' it's a tournament that point and it was over in my mind."

" Well I I agree actually well what I lots. Trevor it has its shutters chip shot on number eleven keep it on the labels. I kind of -- collecting -- this -- bogey -- you know tiger related -- thirteen -- that you know beautiful won't -- perspective you know it was -- what are you expect him to make that every single time and you never expect -- couldn't be able to make that -- off the French that was a huge turnaround. You know parred eleven and twelve. In those windy condition that. You know that's the most important thing in any really just had to survive in not doing anything foolish which he did on sixteen that would lead. I don't think of sixteen at Logan would admit that the water he had a two shot lead I think he -- played much more conservative shot."

" We lose a win an -- as well though do you think. I don't think -- think you know he's got a five shot lead he's probably saying you know that pin placement you know you've got that. The big. Religion agreed to bring the ball back down -- all in you know you can just -- what that flag that the green white flag. I think he was still so competent that I want to get in their clothes."

" I think he was doing a favor to CBS yeah I was only -- testing thing."

" it it wasn't very exciting you know all. In god you know an eagle on fourteen -- what and you could really didn't mean anything and then maybe one or two other regal but not been. Great other than the start the start it was pretty it would when -- made eagle and two a note a lot of stuff go about early but."

" Snap bigger hits that 199 yen -- like the media into the creek. You knew right then who has done rise out right and -- less sixty yards short on twelve brad correct me if I'm wrong -- hit the ball better than anyone on Saturday and worse than every one on Sunday was this amazing. Two sides of Steve -- I'm so -- in the sky could win."

" Right I agree that he. He's a guided you know could not in there and move and really. Got a great thing you know. I know nobody knows much about Steve -- you want to couple tournaments last year -- great ball striker with a you've got to woody Austin like mentality -- golf course he goes out -- the circle things go wrong and be able. You -- is as bad as anybody then when he when he gets things go start one and two putt like when he walked in used to it. I even thought at the end he might just want and want to miss that putt -- hit the footer who does it would couple of creativity."

" Talk about doubled weird things Casey calling the penalty on himself on number six from the ground the club in the and the ball turned over a little bit such -- stupid rule like to do some about it on the rules committee."

" Bulk W's so. You know that's the second time it happens over the sort of Matsui and I don't look everybody understands the -- as you addressed the ball. It and any shot not just on the putting limited dropped the ball and taking a step and rounding your club. If the ball moved after you've addressed that the penalty and you have to replace until you remember the official came over. They took forever with a ball back right and it it's kinda great because he's put it back in a spot or just rolled from Toledo. It's not an exact science there. I just I'm sure that -- a lot duke case he's."

" I would just that the blood and wants put you know would -- that no I think -- should replay case you can't see it move. You see that the amateur again you could see it move a little bit -- on Saturday in on Friday. When the temperature at the same thing happened to him he he and that -- in the cup by two but he almost. Missed the cut by one and that one was the ball moving a fraction minutes when the wind the guys that the players' --"

" Well Jerry don't you think that's why this game pretty great you can have a guy."

" Not some of the rules us open like that one."

" all this is not a player's faults -- win. Eyes the players' fault -- we more than."

" Not supposed to granite club like Jack Nicklaus never grounded a club potter or people's side if -- ever -- watched him -- so he wouldn't of never got a penalty if that happened."

" A I -- Norman's wife -- pretty hot. But his kid is really goofy looking what's the deal."

" We are talking about that because comedy than Torre are great friends that you got from the inevitable that -- it became that in no way you blog is black -- it. At there's a -- on the tour you're not allowed to your children go into the scores tend not to focus the little guy he's going to go -- dad and it was scream and you know that there's a pretty big -- that -- that score -- correct."

" Oh -- I can accuse them homely looking to get distracted I would hate. Always like -- when they first showed I think it's his mother yeah good boy does have a very attractive wife -- his mother is young look and and then they finally the -- was -- talking about that that's life off the assembly line is like a factory somewhere with a make golf lives that make those. Bleached blonde golf wives of the -- the golfers wives warehouse and that's -- the factory outlet."

" That's right and you know the -- if you had -- very nice."

" Yeah I was really were in London butler who is not nice whose wife is a distant yet -- in which."

" Who'd like -- now thanks to what if I -- in the studio and although it also. So what happens to what happens to Trevor -- album today and tomorrow and the next day what what what changes now brad. Well believe it and yet to receive -- classic invitation to go to help the spurs right."

" It's is agent they didn't show it eat they cancer invaded his data that right there making -- innings he's and I MG guy and I'm sure that -- ringing off the -- today he's he's going to you have a career. Changing experience today -- and you after the those tournaments so you'd you'd see him get the green jacket presentation and that they have a dinner at the club whether. The new champion have to go and have -- all the members who he brings in. Policy at least so he's waking up this morning and you know do it all the radio and TV shows and then it's going to be. Some that state credit today."

" When the phone rings is it invitations from from other tour stop -- from other tournaments or is it. Advertisers I didn't want to Bynum against called."

" going to be playing at mentally and Ortiz that but. I think it he's going to get a lot of chances to go play over in Europe is one day outings he probably you know went 35 about a hundred grand over. Those who yeah he's going to be at the end I think he'll take if you are those but it -- That we experience from the players that won the cup Walt tell you that you gotta learn to say no until Friday went shots called they'll have to decide you --"

" Right he's one of those guys who was like -- ray's -- right locked away and then in the -- away raised just to be a professional golfer at the age of like three and never had a life and never you know had and anything his life but golf right."

" I think he almost -- that a little. On the telecast out -- in. You know he gave a lot of credit to his parents that they sacrificed everything just trim is Islam that was I believe a rules official over there in South Africa and the South African PGA tour. Williams Trevor was played in US golf tournament when I was 1415 years old and the -- cokes for a good deal that took place in California."

" It's pretty intense delicate tortured soul he never looked like he was having fun out there which was the opposite us that record obviously it worked out format is approaches is. -- to grinder is it not."

" Yeah as a grinder -- it -- he's eager student of Barbara tell the sports psych guy and I don't up in noticed Trevor but the kind of shot. He expended a lot of time kind of you know taken a picture of what he wanted to do see in the shot blinded. You know you were talking about how long from the baseball game -- I think a lot of it's a good -- golfers you know technical couldn't slow golfer. You know look in the -- and whichever he took his time behind the ball to make sure I'm not going to get a shot poem absolutely ready."

" It struck me when I think they were on two is a big downhill par five. It -- of I don't watch this thing and you got and got tiger and his group on the green you have somebody in the fairway waiting to hit in the -- at the the last group of the day in moments that -- standing on the team -- it that this that this is going to take forever I mean. I'm not sure how on those kinds of conditions you can hit a ball and wait what would be fifteen minutes maybe sometimes there's never any rhythm as well and asked him I guess."

" Well it and it's hard and then in the major championships and especially at about it if you watched yesterday the last group finished eighteen probably 730 yeah there's the seat time as close to 3 o'clock in. Well you think about. Tiger Woods is again notoriously not sleep -- yet kept up its basics in the morning on the day when he doesn't -- up till 230 what he would do you know you're in. You're renting somebody's house like your own house. You know you you got six or seven hours to kill before you actually start -- your shots to warm up yeah that's one of the hardest part especially -- your first major championship. You know the press that in me notes and you hold -- tiger. You gotta sit there. And find some time in and figure out what are -- going to do this whole time and you know. Some guys you know trying to sleep in -- late wilt it it helps to have your white you can their seat and."

" This looks like he he he -- daily do when he has like six drills. It's -- and rather stupid question here but -- television often changes the view of what things look like is the drive on eighteen as narrow as it appears on television it looks like you're getting at through people."

" Boy it is and you know it was always a shot in the past when you. We're back on the TV were able to keep accept your six -- cut shot and get it right of those -- if you could reach him yep now most of the guys. Agreed to -- at that sand trap but you know. You saw a lot of guys in the right retrieved a lot of guys in the left trees I don't know tiger ever hit that fairway and make the birdie or two I don't know. You know is going to birdie eighteen. Before he hit that putt didn't know what that is one of the critical than in it's it's underrated it's it's so uphill. You know it it's probably got fifty feet of elevation she got the it's a long hard hole and a you know it's so make or there to win the tournament -- as the great thing but you know when you have a look streaks that lead -- Little -- you know it's a lot."

" Final question what would you know and most of your PGA colleagues brad say if you could only win one major. Would most a viewing your colleagues say it would be the masters."

" I would say most guys US. Would -- that would be the -- they'd like to win the most it's the most fun most of the international players I would say all international as -- when he -- chipped -- You know in Britain and I article in the US open by -- especially for somebody like me but -- I think the matches would be one I'd -- the first or."

" I picked the CBS and yeah that's me though I. Nobody to someone that's got realize all yeah the panache and brad thanks that's not good talkin' to you. Thank Eric villain in the end of the great job in the military and you know -- don't want to fill in for meter someday because he takes days off all the time we caddies and back -- last boy."

" I execute what she's gone now again hasn't noticed in your pocket and you're so quiet this alternative you -- stop it's a good thing."

" He he -- you hang up before it takes that she's just."

" It disappointed we didn't talk about you could watch that game winning goal. To DC game don't know him Bruins and much more excited than Red Sox Yankees game right. And so Morgan yeah exactly -- max daycare guys down the road backs."

" Hopefully get ahead of the masters champion -- you in round and then that he didn't. -- right -- back if facts -- only my long -- defendant you know like why I don't think he understood the rules of the pool that used to come wild card winners like surprise winners -- the other people wouldn't panic than he was the only one -- by people who didn't get the rules well he's not used to gambling. He's a whole special athlete."

" Yeah exactly. Braddock got some good news and some bad news for. The bad news is you finish last in the office pool by picking longer couples and hunter made hand all three missed the cut. The good news is the last place finisher as by rules and our in our regular committee. Gets -- ten dollar entry -- back."

" So so you've also ask if you finish last that you get to ten bucks in a hoax Marty had looked upon to make him one and no one did anyone ever a moment. Anyone have Seneca epic regular players think it's and it grew to nightmare for writers could you think -- Thomas -- moments and that -- ammonia yeah. Manei little trickier Tiger Woods much easier Tiger Woods and that's very bright and -- legacy and a losing."

" All right quick about liberals or less than back your locals"
