" Our number three Dennis and Callahan Bob Nomar alongside virtually -- about an hour from now Germany's a couple lines Alomar three favorite guest this program in back. The 3 highly rated -- people walk of the ministry -- would have Tom radio on we love when Abu resides -- on and we really love when you have brad back from a good morning facts I'll Loria. That's about it later that. It over the last night penalty I'm Bradley -- I don't. The the -- point leaders Paul horning in terms of their age. Right three of them or report CN calcavecchia in -- play your 43 right. Right what happens to players when they turn 42 older player. If they could do well would you tour."

" No way no way remember that Nicklaus -- Maybe it it we're a bad guys if you wouldn't be an urban. -- Lloyd I have their day."

" It'll happen."

" People last B askew all the time what's up with your game -- are you are you injured were you hurt are you with a slob. What's the night left or right but I underscores right."

" Well great what. It up. Accommodate a lot of things happen -- no good. Probably -- You can learn how hitting it. Let -- look like. I've always done pretty good. In the old right and the -- They want out of -- out. -- get my act together I. -- did battle line -- these group here. -- there. -- that -- here are playing good right about now. When -- ornamental -- It brings that out."

" Dominican now -- little playing lesson type thing. Wanted to play of the so essentially you were you were a little too much spelled so little to check the goal and a little less I don't know whose -- player Mark calcavecchia maybe."

" Probably good yet her. Verplank would be a guy that. -- and a lot of over the back in the adult or -- I've -- daylight over the last rained a lot of them in the."

" They three things that lifer in the title. Called me and told me they heard on the -- this key this week at oakmont number one prominent players. I'll take plastic right now and not swing the club all week long weekend long and take my chances of winning USO. First time in history the US Janus asked they've worked -- a post or -- to slow down their greens. And someone else that if it does that rate on oakmont which by the way it did yesterday. Dobie -- scores in the 90s in the first two days then there will be in the 60s would you like to address. The three items. It will. That's correct put over all the right."

" Anyone but not over. -- and backcourt and the partisan or oh on like pride itself on being hard court needed day of any work hard -- of the US. It gave as -- the green I think a little bit. You know am I don't we agree on anger or every day they knew. Over the what undulating to poke greens. -- or -- that what are these you know in their life. Davis -- played a practice round. Couple weeks ago they told me. If you drop the ball 280 yards down the middle of every fairway you know our -- by. You build up a player they are doing that real. Pretty good you know coming from -- that the pretty good at it how difficult."

" Shot in the greens the fairways and greens don't matter as much as where it is on the -- the Senate all right I want to get it on the green downward where they got even."

" it every player but it is up. -- shot in the rough. Where they're going to have to you know laid up and have all started in. Oh -- you know what when a player as a bread and butter under guard and -- 80 yard lob wedge you know the -- We beat him by. What happened yet today -- that it rained a little bit it'll make I'm -- early going you know that. Player -- if not all the ball on the green"

" what if we -- out at -- they are old tiger does not ten minutes ago write you off. We -- you know look at their -- guys that are on the par. -- that if he had every. Every US open on the -- on the bottom of the -- that is. Or over are out all right"

" inherent in -- in common I think it was an AP wire stories went on -- He's --"

" It -- of the winning or more out of the players --"

" Than anybody would pick if he does it have a lot to do with where the US DA -- accurately if put it. Where did you put them on the green. They leave low or early -- they can make don't go away that -- About it. Adding a little bit or low whether it goes up and little bit or or or put the good sport on the downwind holes you can get a close right absolutely and and you know they're smart enough and it. And I know what they have to do. It makes it where you you know lower our. Are hired and no one thing but my guess is. They like back court. Already get abuse is part of any or like the back oral one wing but what they're called their course of overlap -- Harry -- And you remember it in a cock your ego thing that attic you know on days when everything dried -- went in."

" As you know -- got post. The players complained about."

" Addiction and justifiably so what they had the water and water for some but not brawl happy that -- right. And -- at oakmont I don't think they really have to do too much. Or -- You know if if it continues to rain they get -- every afternoon."

" Implement it. Players are in -- you know it's -- bring. You know he's the world court and that the thing that'll that'll."

" It -- Okay you assume that it's the toughest -- a lot of our listeners around play we call would like to -- that they would go. Played the course I got on with him. We've had discovered question revenue going to -- movie with Michael Johnson."

" Well where a guy like she if my plate for those tees and he said what what Mac you can take hurting at least let's see we in guys. Handicaps is just emotion into it won't be giants that you would be triple bogey and every choice you know I think I think I could play hold more or less than two. In my crazy."

" But it definitely ten -- 11."

" You're probably -- I think. You may get the odd shot on the -- reread number and it all agreeing. You know doubted it worse you might you might feel. I mean but I -- it would win. The pick and that I have a lot of buddies that lead over that are you know good -- in any at all. You know when they play good out of their club they if you 75 in the they're happy you know that's on any court in Rhode -- and that. You go to USO."

" Court infinitely harder to work late we we -- stroke average at a normal eight fervently. What broke ever hear -- the -- that it. It -- got harder or were there. It automatically. Double or triple that the the average guy. Of the explain that we don't let I don't think. Rates are in the US though -- adding pressure that that gallery. -- harder than it --"

" Question -- want to ask you this has nothing. In relation to the previous one curious. I loved. Watching NBC's coverage your call or 12 in the region that is listening to John Miller and I'm curious. What you or your fellow brethren on the PGA tour that this --"

" You know it's an amazing guy was done. -- don't know. It the other day and -- If if you could."

" Ever think when was the last time you know the tournament held repko one obvious now. You know and in no it significant don't let what he did that would be pretty got a in -- You know hack off the UN you have US DA that a -- it every article we're from. My view than -- maybe to that never gotten any age can you know."

" Hard day. You know -- Comfortable order -- Announcer -- our work players he would. -- don't know about there is -- Make up go to war I don't think you know it would be in this day and at that unpredictability that people -- you know they'll make it -- you go into that. You know it and I know he's not thinking about. He loved and thought about -- in an what the players -- and I think you make it that rate and what our players throughout their play. The earth couple around -- at -- got. In the bat second they're nervous choke and or respect you know I can you got on the last day -- you might be nervous. And an -- or -- it."

" But that's not happening on the active then he makes a dramatic like."

" Always yeah they could not like no excuse me because of the criticism -- real."

" Easy to off Xena was over or does he not talk player to -- the club also know the rain priority is I don't think that's. That are what are than."

" You know."

" Oh that's good for him you know it. Trying to pack the whereas with these days away you know he doesn't you don't eat it much from the rains."

" Chat it up -- gotten over the other players. Other you know like Roger ball here in their other guys. And it they're out there and their approach to -- you know you don't -- you need to really -- by. Miller you know. I don't about a player wing. Like he knows intimately what this guy doing -- trying to do when he really doesn't know any."

" I've read when I look at the pairing sheet all of you have yours in front of you -- I think 7:55 this morning Jose Maria all the bubble Sergio Garcia and Pablo Mark. Obviously the guys who put this together sending out a a this -- trio there but this is sort of a -- this that the guy who puts the pairings together. The US GA in the US open does every year to give us some insight as to that is that. It's like. College grew you know guys all the same college or somebody said it put the all splinter team together guides who can you love to hate academic thing are you. Can you enlighten us on that well."

" Together and somehow relate players that are in there together"

" I don't know exactly how would they do that. You know they'll do it some guys -- have -- won -- US though the other or maybe"

" you know what you read it then maybe you have juniors US -- tournament. They'll they'll find ways like you're -- that -- All eight of those guys draw -- Okay who goes out the reason why -- you know that's or even if he's fluent spoken and it hootie"

" it would have to pick your old. Within a couple of one."

" and it which is out of bed over I'd say solution the short trio. I don't -- them in these very good. Lover battle I'm going right there -- going to ask you about that what what do rejected lover badly Nevin coming white they'll follow that up a you know as badly of the best swing on tour you know what used to be the blank just the best looking swing is badly about as good as it gets out there elkington elkington thank. It was a guy that would vote vote vote"

" the looking Natalie would be -- at at the very good looking. Well I would be number -- like something that you'd want to watch I really liked it action"

" I mean it's hard -- say you know like Adam Scott writer's -- cycling note what tiger right. Do you lead to -- greens in regulation well."

" That beat them. Letting you know it you know you look at the guys that are wearing that. I you'll you know you look at guys like --"

" that -- you want to -- You -- not believe how good it -- I like about a minute ago."

" How long -- in you you motivated pop. In the land knowing -- well you know they'll always show you what tiger or Ernie or what. You know David -- going to be -- under if not having actor Daniel looked at -- like. -- or can Joe -- And go. Well it doesn't it in the fairway right got her nobody -- like."

" They were talking about the pairings and just one more thing about this at 86 Tiger Woods Geoff Ogilvy last year's winner and amateur champion Richie Ramsay I can imagine what this on the must feel like -- Richie Ramsay -- fix this morning those two guys. At the US open at oh --"

" I don't think I know very nervous when I'm in the final lap. At -- You know you're shadowed -- your -- At a private club that. Damn there's there's -- road you're right it. You know. It way right it might go in -- brought the aim at proper Ernie els got that drop you if -- so that a lot of it got around the camera that popped out -- mean they believe this that it is nervous. And in case you won a big part of that your family is currently the have been like today and I'm thinking about that you know tigers. Butler athlete of women make up call for the that ever played the game. You know -- like that that at this point at. Or they heading weather over the -- up or you know. What what does that do you every the word about tiger it in the fairway. Winning US open this guy is unbelievably pitino's attitude we would be committed to Ryan 270 -- you know -- find the right."

" Would you take tiger or the field -- dollar bet. You would dispute the numbers right now brad in baseball."

" Billy beane the Oakland days have received a lot of publicity with your money ball I don't know how often do you why are we -- and I want to make a comparison with what Phil Mickelson is doing -- because they saw yesterday on the golf channel -- going around with mickelson with some. Machine kind of analyzing this need of every green. And helps. Currently there furiously taking notes and mickelson what was that the speed of every green is. Differ on every hole I -- more now that may be true in other places. He said they cut in the same they shouldn't because summer high -- and I wind effects on the sun affects them blah blah blah. Point being. He seems to be alone -- may be butch Harmon kind of analyzing and using almost money ball like cystic. Analyze this -- of greens. Your thoughts on pelts his contribution then and Nicholson is this like who. You know."

" You darted a crack that -- that made it work. -- you know what he. He hurt his -- Kono on where the"

" memorial --"

" What does he do have that great but he brings is. Lose with a he -- held any in the at risk that I don't know the department will do this bill. But I think what they do it into it might Mark. They asked."

" Oh."

" The local club pro Bob or. -- in Atlanta by the way tiger of good player or or -- Coming what happened in which way at bat but. Where it. You your where you want to -- get a ring word but he didn't get it up and down. And then -- That -- that we're in my -- back. All the short game -- it going to take. They get up and down he -- at all. Lay it up -- have -- about what we're a good and it. I and you know nick was always great early. Charting his golf -- figured -- like okay do it and you know it Harden."

" You can name and the guys."

" A little whack you over the up. Preparation but I."

" His record in the bases the last years."

" I'd say this -- need to bring prince Henry that navigator with him the three week old one and based on the wrist injury. I said I'd I would be shocked if you missed the cut what you -- when you fell off the latter of rhetoric you broke your wrist. And how long did it take you. Who hit a shot with confidence in the think about this might hurt when I do and in particular a shot from the rough with with no fear and trepidation about just let it go."

" It was -- You know we don't know how badly hurt -- you know he may have. You know they're a little bit they look at -- want to let him oil want to go back or what it normally do or baker I don't I don't know I believe that well that's all the Michelle -- If it and at but it targeted at the different day."

" You know. -- hidden in the rough."

" Gotta win you know the the least amount of but the unit added it was to get back -- even that shot it like a big. Load in out of a very light on me know that when you're old but well either not allowed to let. You know what they've got out of all ago."

" I."

" Nowhere in the -- you know. The player that I thought this week it over the rough is it like. Like -- but. No it Barrett."

" There in that it put in the rough. What are you in Iraq it pains everywhere really you know or really and we that in mind my last question Bernie has to do with mickelson again -- comment he made. Very straight face that this course is dangerous players help keep talking about. And chances of ligament or rich damage. Bowling of leg what you -- what went straight points and he wasn't like kittens this place is dangerous it."

" You know 5000 trees out it's like a bowling Alley is the beauty of whack from joining fairway yet were -- I don't know you know every -- that."

" when he went there to play a few weeks ago. That he went there -- more than one golf boy there's more than one Scott in this league owned and that. I -- it would no you know. I read the paper this morning out of anyone -- the play with tiger you know in England left back. -- yet today I got back up in the maybe we're going to need it if it up."

" No aviator. There may be your good thing to do not many and -- of the."

" A rough -- difficult around the during."

" That a lot of oh you're you're very build web player."

" technical group here is some kind of rough. Lot of bad."

" There's no way anybody. And that that put you at work that they've liked."

" You know they've got everybody."

" You know under their little finger wrapped around it and -- Our top guy you drove the field over tiger looked narrowed down to be a winner you would well -- I would be about it like. Barry rate it is great short game you know period guy -- and the guy. David where David don't get the -- keep him on a course like this you know over."

" I hadn't played well at all and all but if you are familiar with the opening. And leave him off any of I'd be very might not be tiger there but the same time."

" You know he didn't play well at the memorial or. Played well on all. -- though if -- that it hit driver -- have played three wood who aren't and by the way to play. No I wouldn't be surprised Geoff Ogilvy and you know this -- the player played well all the majors last year's low you agree but Derek. Another got -- could -- bell and you know it you're looking at -- or that it can would be guys in the very very competent game and like the way. He's -- I love the way Bobby -- I don't mind and they. The last papers its grip -- a guy like. Casey Luke Donald those guys are below the year in -- they could do well."

" I'd I'd digress here but future in my view read the the John Daly I felt slighted -- no -- have enough soap opera is not going to end well ultimately. Into opera which one of well. A talk about John I guess the -- of the -- of the new whenever a couple of years so -- in my my senses that we're going to really tragic story about the guys more likely than. You know he he you have to wait aged 93 sitting on the rock -- Whittle it."

" More like -- like -- yeah yeah I feel I feel like you know you can feel. Same time. -- he's going to go great -- and literally. I like the guy I really do I think he's got a big heart."

" And I did thank them -- a little over or whatever -- does. You know I don't know who to believe in this situation. You know you -- Or wide or -- You know noted rob -- it is like -- The -- company at about it."

" He's when he did it tell you that you have any. It -- you get that the goal line but I don't know what's next on your schedule brad well of course you would aspect of it CBS yes caremark plastic."

" You're in Rhode Island country cub are big pro am dark on Bundy yet you have to -- Sunday so."

" They're really focused on the net but we've got a great field and this year we have a women play and we've got. Your favorite Natalie Gulbis let it all millionaire after all yeah they should be you know planned this year for the first time. -- got the local -- billion great obviously at wrigley Dana Quigley. That Johnson Mike part of the masters champion. Several -- David. Saying it is Hendry we got to re re route and a people want information about it -- website which -- the duke -- go to these yet."
