398 00:14:31,889 --> 00:14:37,269 But you did say something to me on the episode before I, pulled out the blade. 399 00:14:37,684 --> 00:14:40,565 You were like, yeah, you take it outside and cut across it. 400 00:14:40,565 --> 00:14:42,824 I'm like, that's never been me. 401 00:14:42,884 --> 00:14:46,804 So I'm like, well, if I'm doing that, my fault used to be pulling it too far back to the 402 00:14:46,804 --> 00:14:47,304 inside.

403 00:14:47,684 --> 00:14:51,784 Sure enough, it's pretty evened out right now with the blade butter. 404 00:14:51,845 --> 00:14:52,200 Yeah. 405 00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:53,019 Yeah. 406 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:53,559 Very sweet.

407 00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:53,720 You know, 408 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,559 I've I've I've putted well enough and I've putted poor enough to at least be able to tell 409 00:14:57,559 --> 00:14:58,279 somebody that. 410 00:14:58,279 --> 00:14:59,340 That's a good thing. 411 00:14:59,639 --> 00:14:59,960 But Yeah. 412 00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:00,440 I got a career 413 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,040 Nothing against the lab putter.

414 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,419 They it'll make reappearances. 415 00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:04,759 I am sure. 416 00:15:04,759 --> 00:15:08,004 It's a great company with, a lot of good comments. 417 00:15:08,004 --> 00:15:13,605 I just I just wish they would be a little bit more honest with with, what actually happens 418 00:15:13,605 --> 00:15:15,205 when you take the putter in your hands.

419 00:15:15,205 --> 00:15:16,404 But other than that, hey. 420 00:15:16,404 --> 00:15:19,139 I think I saw Fowler putt in a lot. 421 00:15:19,139 --> 00:15:19,700 You did. 422 00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:20,519 You did.

423 00:15:20,579 --> 00:15:26,339 Let's go back to Justin Thomas really quick because him and Max Grazerman tied for 2nd at 424 00:15:26,339 --> 00:15:28,120 minus 19 under. 425 00:15:28,820 --> 00:15:30,179 Obviously, we're talking about it. 426 00:15:30,179 --> 00:15:32,440 JT's butter went absolutely cold. 427 00:15:32,585 --> 00:15:35,625 He could have won that tournament probably by 4 or 5 shots.

428 00:15:35,625 --> 00:15:40,605 I imagine if he made half of his pots that, he should have made. 429 00:15:42,904 --> 00:15:45,980 And then sure enough, max grazer, man. 430 00:15:45,980 --> 00:15:47,740 God, he's been playing some good golf. 431 00:15:47,740 --> 00:15:48,539 He's right there 432 00:15:48,539 --> 00:15:49,100 the whole way.

433 00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:55,019 He just, he, he just barely missed a birdie putt on the last to tie to go into a playoff 434 00:15:55,019 --> 00:15:55,659 with Nico. 435 00:15:55,659 --> 00:15:58,585 He played that par 5 18th really poorly. 436 00:15:58,585 --> 00:16:00,665 I didn't like the way he played it at all. 437 00:16:00,665 --> 00:16:06,264 Obviously a poor drive set him up to where he had to lay up and then he pulled his approach 438 00:16:06,264 --> 00:16:10,424 shot and then just missed the birdie putt to force the playoff.

439 00:16:10,424 --> 00:16:12,504 But he's been close a lot this year. 440 00:16:12,504 --> 00:16:18,950 Now he's got 4 top fives this year and 5 top ten finishes in 2024. 441 00:16:19,169 --> 00:16:25,329 So my question to both of you, and I'll start with you, Brent, is he do as far as a win on 442 00:16:25,329 --> 00:16:25,829 tour? 443 00:16:25,889 --> 00:16:28,370 And when he does, do you think he's gonna break out?

444 00:16:28,370 --> 00:16:29,804 Do you think he's that kind of talent? 445 00:16:29,804 --> 00:16:30,004 Yeah. 446 00:16:31,445 --> 00:16:32,404 I mean, he's very good. 447 00:16:32,404 --> 00:16:34,404 I've known Max, a long time.

448 00:16:34,404 --> 00:16:36,745 We were on the Korn Ferry tour together for a while. 449 00:16:37,125 --> 00:16:41,605 He's battled back, from some injuries, and and he knows what it's like to be at the bottom of 450 00:16:41,605 --> 00:16:42,084 the barrel. 451 00:16:42,084 --> 00:16:46,889 So, the fact that he's he's kinda scraping scraping the top, you know, he's just he's 452 00:16:46,889 --> 00:16:49,610 getting ready to bust out and and more power to him. 453 00:16:49,850 --> 00:16:52,809 You know, just just just because I'd love to see it.

454 00:16:52,809 --> 00:16:55,274 I think he's, he's definitely gonna be able to win. 455 00:16:55,355 --> 00:16:57,195 I met him when I met you, I think. 456 00:16:57,195 --> 00:16:57,514 Yep. 457 00:16:57,514 --> 00:16:57,835 Yeah.

458 00:16:57,835 --> 00:16:58,335 Yep. 459 00:16:58,555 --> 00:17:01,295 He looks like Timo Rory McElroy. 460 00:17:02,235 --> 00:17:08,394 I think I think Max Razorman is a very solid golfer, and I think he's due for a win. 461 00:17:08,394 --> 00:17:12,809 I just don't know if he's the breakout talent that some of these other guys are when they 462 00:17:12,809 --> 00:17:14,089 break through like a Wyndham Clark.

463 00:17:14,089 --> 00:17:14,289 What do 464 00:17:14,289 --> 00:17:15,069 you think, Bautzy? 465 00:17:15,130 --> 00:17:16,250 I think he is, man. 466 00:17:16,250 --> 00:17:16,450 Wow. 467 00:17:16,450 --> 00:17:21,690 I think he's learning how to, play some extremely efficient golf on the PGA Tour.

468 00:17:21,690 --> 00:17:27,725 And, I think holding that trophy is gonna change some things to get to t
