  Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
• 0:33
  Welcome to a late edition of the Scratch Project, Cutline, where we cover the tournament
• 0:40
  of the weekend.
• 0:42
  Had a really busy weekend, you know, following July 4 and a lot of other stuff.
• 0:48
  Had my first tournament yesterday, so that's why we didn't do the scratch project cut line
• 0:54
  yesterday morning because I was playing golf competitively for the first time ever, so that
• 0:59
  was interesting.
• 1:02
  But let's get into it, though, real quick.
• 1:06
  Just cover some of the major things going on at the Scottish Open.
• 1:13
  And I think the first thing would be Scottie Scheffler misses the cut.
• 1:19
  First time that mister Scheffler has missed the cut in 78 events, which is, I think, second or
• 1:27
  third only behind someone else in Tiger because Tiger still holds the record for most events
• 1:33
  consecutively without missing a cut at a 142 events, which is crazy because I was talking to
• 1:42
  the PGA pro at my course, and I was like, wow.
• 1:47
  A 142 events.
• 1:48
  I'm thinking he didn't miss an event in, like, three or four years.
• 1:51
  And then the pro told me, well, Tiger only played 17 to 20 events a year because he was
• 1:58
  always number one in the world.
• 1:59
  So he had all these exemptions to the big events like the signatures and the majors, and
• 2:03
  then he only had to play what he needed to to keep up his standing.
• 2:08
  So he didn't have to play all 30 events.
• 2:11
  So Tiger Woods hadn't, missed a cut.
• 2:16
  And with his schedule, the better equivalency was nine years, which is nuts.
• 2:26
  Nine years is crazy.
• 2:29
  Scotty has been number one in the world for a while now, so he hasn't missed a cut in about
• 2:34
  two years.
• 2:37
  But he plays in almost all the events, you know, minus a few minors, like, TPC deer run
• 2:46
  and stuff like that.
• 2:46
  Like, just the ones that you can afford to miss when you're the number one in the world and
• 2:50
  have a bunch of FedEx cut points already.
• 2:53
  Because before Scottie missed the cut on this event, he had placed second or t sec t two, his
• 3:03
  last three events in a row.
• 3:05
  And one of the events that's notable too that he also had a t two and that isn't where he's
• 3:12
  been consecutively is the masters where he only finished behind Rory's repeat.
• 3:17
  So he's been there, but he hasn't been Scottie Scheffler, let me go out there and just be a
• 3:24
  shark.
• 3:25
  He's kinda been, I wouldn't say, struggling or floundering, but he's not consistent right now.
• 3:35
  Like, he still goes out there and he plays incredible golf, but he also is just I don't
• 3:42
  know.
• 3:42
  I feel like he's in a funk right now.
• 3:44
  So I hope he gets out of that because he really is a truly talented golfer.
• 3:48
  And when he's playing the best golf in the world, it's exciting to watch.
• 3:53
  So with that being said, though, congratulations are in order, I believe.
• 4:02
  I know that they're a little bit of ahead of us as far as time difference goes.
• 4:07
  So I wanna make sure that this is right before I say it, but I'm almost certain.
• 4:13
  Congratulations, Tom Kim, on winning the Genesis Scottish Open.
• 4:20
  Congratulations, young man.
• 4:22
  You have a very bright future ahead of you.
• 4:25
  24 years old, winning the Scottish Open.
• 4:28
  This close to going into the open championship preparations.
• 4:34
  So, hey, got some momentum going into there.
• 4:37
  I'm sure you're eligible for the open.
• 4:40
  And then he's also got some momentum going into the FedEx Cup signature events before they get
• 4:47
  to the tour championship.
• 4:49
  So well done, Tom Kim.
• 4:51
  Well done.
• 4:52
  You were an absolute pleasure to watch play golf this weekend.
• 4:55
  And as you have been all season, you really deserve this win.
• 4:59
  Good job, bud.
• 5:00
  You did really, really good.
• 5:02
  Better than I could.
• 5:03
  I shot one I shot one ten, one fifteen with a 98 net.
• 5:11
  I had a rough tournament, but we'll get to that later.
• 5:15
  The nerves kinda got to me half but I settled in, had some fun as well.
• 5:22
  Let's first give just a quick shout out because I I believe that they deserve it.
• 5:31
  So this show, as always, is brought to you by Skunked Golf Company.
• 5:37
  Look good even if your game stinks.
• 5:39
  These guys were incredible to us, and they have continued to be incredible to us.
• 5:43
  Thank you guys so much for supporting the Scratch Project and the show.
• 5:47
  And, also, thank you for letting us come out and be a part of the first ever Skunk Classic,
• 5:54
  which helps raise money for kids in the Minot School District.
• 5:57
  So just hey.
• 6:00
  Awesome.
• 6:01
  Awesome.
• 6:02
  Awesome.
• 6:03
  With that being said, though, I feel like it is only right that we take just a small little
• 6:12
  intermission here, and we give these guys a shout out, and we'll be back in thirty.
• 6:25
  Hey, guys.
• 6:25
  I just wanted to pop in and tell you about a great new company that we just started working
• 6:29
  with.
• 6:30
  Skunk Golf Company out of North Dakota sent us some awesome gear.
• 6:34
  Man, they got some great stuff, y'all.
• 6:36
  They got some awesome hats.
• 6:38
  They sent us some great polo and collared shirts, some T shirts, skorts for the ladies
• 6:44
  too, and some sweet visors.
• 6:46
  Go check them out.
• 6:47
  Skunk Golf online.
• 6:56
  As Bubba said, go check them out.
• 6:58
  Got a lot of good stuff, and they just dropped t shirts recently too.
• 7:03
  OG t shirt.
• 7:04
  I think they have some tank tops for the ladies, but my favorite t shirt is the skunk
• 7:09
  device t shirt that I have.
• 7:12
  And I still need to get some videos in it, which I'm going to.
• 7:15
  It's one of my favorite shirts.
• 7:16
  It's very comfortable.
• 7:17
  But I went out in the tournament in the skunked polo and the white skunked golf hat, so I was
• 7:24
  all stinky.
• 7:25
  Not just my game, but I looked good.
• 7:27
  So, you know, it was fun.
• 7:31
  Now we are going to talk about some things because there's not a whole lot to talk about
• 7:41
  with the Genesis Scottish Open other than Scheffler missing the cut, which was like I
• 7:46
  feel like and I kinda feel bad for Tom Kim because he did incredible when he won this
• 7:51
  event, but I feel as Scheffler missing the cut is kind of gonna overshadow his victory this
• 7:58
  weekend because everyone's like, holy crap.
• 8:00
  Scottie Scheffler missed the cut.
• 8:03
  What happened?
• 8:05
  And what happened was is he was minus two his first day, and I think he shot it was either he
• 8:12
  was minus two or plus two his first day, and then he shot the reverse.
• 8:15
  But the cut was minus two, and he finished at even par after day two, so he missed the cut by
• 8:21
  two strokes.
• 8:24
  I guess the saving grace I could say and the positive I could say is at least he wasn't over
• 8:31
  par missing the cut.
• 8:32
  It was a competitive field, and he just, I guess, just did not have a good second round
• 8:40
  and had a slow first round for that matter.
• 8:45
  Seeing as the winner, Tom Kim finished at minus 17, And then just to rattle off a few others,
• 8:53
  you got Min Woo Lee who finished at minus 15, Robert McIntyre at minus 13, Nakajima at minus
• 9:02
  13, and the American Kiefer at minus 13.
• 9:06
  So you had quite a tight race right there in between first and second, but then second to
• 9:15
  first was four strokes.
• 9:17
  So little less pressure on the leader there.
• 9:24
  Sorry if you guys see me adjust my neck.
• 9:26
  I'm really stiff from all the golf swings I took this week and, the heat.
• 9:35
  It was, like, a 105 yesterday, and I just oh my goodness.
• 9:41
  I feel like I've just been a sandbag laying out in the sun, and the threads are starting to
• 9:48
  become brittle and tear apart because I'm just sore everywhere.
• 9:55
  That's why you wear sunscreen and you drink a lot of water.
• 9:57
  We drink.
• 9:59
  Me and me and Scotland, we drank, oh, a 128 ounces of water between the both of us.
• 10:06
  We probably both drank a 64 ounce jug to ourselves because of how hot it was.
• 10:12
  Like, I we we got there at eight in the morn oh, well, earlier than that.
• 10:17
  We got there at 07:15, but we teed off closer to nine because there was 50 people in this
• 10:23
  tournament.
• 10:24
  So there was a lot of people to get organized, a lot of people that needed to sign in and get
• 10:31
  settled and get put into their flights for their groups because we had to do a shotgun
• 10:35
  start.
• 10:36
  So I started out on the fifteenth hole as the a group.
• 10:40
  So I was the first group on the fifteenth hole, and then we had people behind us, 15 b, and
• 10:48
  then vice versa on every other hole.
• 10:50
  I really wish I could've been part of that first group so I could go out and not have to
• 10:56
  worry about hitting somebody because sometimes that adds some pressure in there.
• 10:59
  But it actually played really nice.
• 11:02
  It flowed really nice, so we didn't really have to worry about that.
• 11:08
  The second portion of the tournament, probably about after six holes or so, I started to
• 11:13
  settle in.
• 11:14
  But, man, I had a brutal hole.
• 11:19
  So we started on 15, and I started with a six.
• 11:25
  Then we go to to 16, had another six, but then we get to 17.
• 11:33
  And, oh, boy.
• 11:36
  It was brutal.
• 11:39
  So I'm already six over par, mind you.
• 11:42
  Right?
• 11:45
  Because I'm sorry.
• 11:45
  I I thought it said two sixes.
• 11:47
  I I had a seven in there.
• 11:48
  I was six over par through two holes because I was just I was having trouble finding the
• 11:54
  fairway.
• 11:55
  I was having trouble finding my stream.
• 11:58
  You know?
• 11:59
  Like, I could not flow.
• 12:00
  I could not get anything going.
• 12:02
  I hadn't I had nothing going for me in terms of rhythm, those first couple holes.
• 12:10
  Then we get to 17, the par three, and, oh, boy, that was a disaster.
• 12:18
  I topped my tee shot about 20 yards with my hybrid.
• 12:25
  Then I got to the second shot with my hybrid, and I'm thinking, okay.
• 12:31
  I'm far enough away.
• 12:33
  Nice and easy.
• 12:35
  Just get it on the green or get it close.
• 12:38
  Stop it again.
• 12:40
  Now I'm, like, physically, like, just panicking internally.
• 12:47
  Like, I'm like, oh my goodness.
• 12:48
  This is embarrassing.
• 12:49
  This is embarrassing.
• 12:51
  So I decide I'm gonna ring out the pitching wedge, and I'm just gonna try and get this on
• 12:57
  the green with a nice pitch.
• 12:59
  Really nice and easy shot.
• 13:02
  Keep it going, you know, that kind of thing just to try and save my back nine, and I hit a
• 13:09
  really good shot.
• 13:12
  Problem is is I hit a really good shot, just a little too much left, not a shank or a hook,
• 13:20
  just I left it out too much left, and I put a little too much on it, and it didn't stay on
• 13:28
  the green.
• 13:29
  It rolled off the side of the hill, and I landed in the swamp.
• 13:37
  Proceeded to have to take four strokes together and had nine.
• 13:42
  So that was embarrassing.
• 13:46
  But really quick, we are gonna play another skunk ad, and then I will be back in about two
• 13:56
  minutes.
• 13:57
  So bear with me, guys.
• 14:00
