- 13:38[SPEAKER_01]: and it's time again for another major and we welcome back Griffin Hair Griffin uh... your uh... top story lines heading into this weekend at aronaming
- 13:49[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there's a ton of good storylines.
- 13:51[SPEAKER_00]: For this week here, that ironic.
- 13:54[SPEAKER_00]: I would say the biggest one for sure is we could have back to back years of people completing the grand plan.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_00]: Jordan's beef only needs the PGA championship to accomplish the completing the grand plan.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_00]: We have not seen that at a long time.
- 14:09[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, with Rory winning the master's last year.
- 14:11[SPEAKER_00]: So I would say that's probably the top one.
- 14:15[SPEAKER_00]: Man, Rory and Scotty have won for the last five major championships.
- 14:19[SPEAKER_00]: So I would say that itself is a big storyline, the top players in the world have been getting given down at the biggest events.
- 14:28[SPEAKER_01]: Tell me a little bit about the course and is it favor any type of player in particular?
- 14:33[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so they have not hosted the major championships since 1962 and the last time they held it and event there was a PGA tour event there in 2018, but it was a torrential during downpour.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_00]: So the golf course is going to play a lot different and it's going to be fun and fast.
- 14:50[SPEAKER_00]: I think there is a little bit of lane in the forecast, but this is a major championships set set up.
- 14:56[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to play a lot harder than it did in the past.
- 14:59[SPEAKER_00]: You wide open off the tee, it's going to be a bomber's paradise, not a ton of trees.
- 15:04[SPEAKER_00]: So you're going to see a lot of guys try to hammer driver all the way down there and try to figure it out from there and book no trees and play.
- 15:11[SPEAKER_00]: The roughs not super thick, not like a typical US open week.
- 15:14[SPEAKER_00]: We have had some PGAs in the last three or four years with some really thick rough.
- 15:19[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think you'll see that this year.
- 15:21[SPEAKER_00]: Wouldn't be surprised if we see it anywhere from 13 to 18 under,
- 15:29[SPEAKER_00]: What's he even seeing interviews and going off a little bit of history at what people have done here?
- 15:36[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure anybody's playing better right now than Matt Fitzpatrick and Christopher Rotten are those guys contenders as well.
- 15:44[SPEAKER_00]: Ritane not might be a little bit of a stretch.
- 15:47[SPEAKER_00]: He's probably great when last week at Quahala, one of the most demanding golf courses on the PGA Tour.
- 15:54[SPEAKER_00]: Probably a little bit too early to say he's one of the favorites, but man, that's Patrick.
- 15:59[SPEAKER_00]: He's shown that you can win a major championship three or four years ago.
- 16:04[SPEAKER_00]: Would not be surprised if he's in the mix on Sunday.
- 16:09[SPEAKER_01]: All right, well Griffin and I, and probably Michelle Garmin as well, we'll be talking about the PGA championships all weekend and we will have separate podcast 10, 15 minute recaps each day talking about what goes on.
