What what's going on in the world who would have thought imagine starting this year. And somebody said to you they've got a crystal ball. And they say to you right rick the world number one is going to win the masters this year you think okay yeah i can i can go with that yeah someone like john ron maybe colin morakow has just sneaked into world number one just okay thomas. So you're then.
Thinking okay well that's feasible i can live with that then.
They say okay the guy that's winning the masters has already won three times. So far this year you think wow this guy somebody's on a heater it's tiger back has rory hit some form is tiger back imagine if someone said that to you by the way the tiger's playing i'm done that you're gonna see on sunday of the masters tiger in red amazing yeah then.
They say okay all that being said the guy who wins the masters this year four-putted the last hole. And still one by three what kind of madness is this what world are we living in unbelievable scotty sheffler you have become a legend in four months yeah i like how he asked is caddy as well um before the final put how many have we got to win this by the way how mad well i imagine being in that position stood on 18. uh just a quick one can i can i have another three goes. Or or not the crowd's reaction was brilliant on that last like all right come on wrap it up yeah we started cheering. And then.
All the patrons like oh no no remember this is all gusted we don't do that here calm down. So joking aside scotty sheffler he's coming to this tournament as world number one as not the favorite still which is crazy to think um he is absolutely dominated he'd barely put a foot wrong he's navigated that augusta national in emphatic style um when he needed to par home he decided to go on a birdie run yeah when rory macro which we will definitely come on to shoots a final round of 64. And still loses out by three yeah rory who come on it was just phenomenal. So um it just it just seems so crazy why is he. So good matt what is it that makes him. So good cause i can't quite put my finger on it for me watching him all week i think that the biggest thing that he did hole in putts like not not lipping them in as well they were like dead center 10 foot on him when it needed to go in it was like yeah are you on about pressure no i'll just roll that. And it's only six foot on those greens at like 14 and also he's chipping around the green sure seems ridiculous just phenomenal because he hit he hit a few dodgy shots like i think he got away with a little bit. But while you look at that shot on 12 like almost duck hooks are 99 yeah well left of the green. But then.
Just no no no issue that didn't happen stone dead taps it in he's not got the most aesthetically pleasing golf swings has he no no i actually posted that like on youtube last night saying you don't have to have this perfect golf swing to go. And win it doesn't look the best but he just knows how to get his golf ball around the golf course yeah he just controls it. And i suppose to some degree for him was tiger taking all the headlines pre-tournament probably a bit of a blessing. For him yeah i think he comes he comes into the masters he's been like you say the crystal ball scenario there amazing wins these three tournaments coming in wins the match play. And he is like he is the man. But no one was really going scottish off is going to win he's going to win it was all tiger tiger tiger. And he's even even when he's won all these pga tour events in this short space of time at the start of the year he's not really been that hyped if it was rory that would have gone. And done that like the world would have imploded yeah the golf will it wouldn't be here. But oh my god he's back he's going to win more than more mages than jack nicklaus. But it was like oh he's he's one of you scott scheffler he'll be all right you know what he's just gone very underneath the radar yeah by the way he's the oldest 25 year old i've ever seen he's 42 in it it's mud. So i feel like he's going to have an unbelievable kind of future as well career he's in some mad stats. So scotty sheffler eight weeks ago had zero wins on pj tour yeah from 70 starts okay he'd not gone bad in his life he'd won 8.7 million career earnings. So he's not he's not we don't need to have a whip around he's not short of change and he's ranked number 14 in the world and as of today.
Four wins from 76 starts his now career earnings is 17.6 million oh. And that's just on course yeah never mind what's going to happen off course. For him now yeah he's ranked number one in the world as we know. And he's now the masters champion 2023. do you think he has a long career um looking at his swing. And looking at like he looks like he saves it a bit the only thing he reminds me of a little bit jordan spieth yeah he kind of reminds me when jordan was on a heater all those years ago like he looked unstoppable didn't it hits it a little bit everywhere. Or gets up and down up and down from everywhere he really does remind me of spieth because again spieth maybe doesn't have the most aesthetically pleasing golf swing. But he just knew how to get the golf ball around and when he when he was dominating it's almost quite a similar story to some degrees i think jordan was here from texas jordan was a little bit younger than scottie is right now yeah. And it probably just that moment when he was it 2018 uh no it wasn't it was when will it won 2016 yeah 15 sorry 15 it was yeah when he dunked it in the water on 12 jordan speaks after having like five shot head start coming to the back nine that was the his kind of slow demise oh yeah over the next.
Four. Or five years yeah. And his confidence really dipped and and even this weekend he missed the court he hits a few ports like doesn't look like jordan from from what we used to see yeah i'm not saying that's going to happen with scotty. But i could almost see it a little bit potentially you don't really like it listen he could absolutely prove me wrong because he has proved everybody wrong in the last four months i think we'd like the like the marketing machine behind the pga tour as well you look at like jordan's speed face a very similar thing jordan was like gonna be the next.
Tiger wasn't he when he came about it was like this is it. And then.
Obviously went on his mad major on one loads is where as we alluded to a little bit earlier with um with shafter it's like oh he's one yeah you know it's also mad he. So he had a caddy on he has a new caddy by the way this year yeah ted scott yeah who is a super famous caddy who actually retired yeah. And he's come out retirement to caddy for scotty imagine that and this is what he's got out of it come back i'll i'll i'll tell you what i'll do you a favor i'll win the masters if you come back. For me how's about that um did you question foot did you enjoy the masters this year um yes yeah um i i i backed i backed cam smith in january before he won the sony nice um. And before he won uh the players before he won the players yeah. So i was like happy about that obviously. But watching it i thought oh you know watching it from i think from like a sky standpoint some of the new camera angles that they had on the on the uh did you like that oh amazing i thought it really added to the viewing experience. And you know obviously tiger was back i like the new camera angles i wasn't always dead sure on that on that really depth of field oh yeah i like the different angles because i felt like yeah like the drone angles. And the lasers like the camera they had on 10 overlooking the bunker so you could actually get a little bit more of a an idea of the undulation i think sometimes in the past it was always the old comment of oh well the tv doesn't do any justice. For the slopes but then.
Like when you saw that angle like rory i think one shot stood out. For me and it was like whoa that's like deep that bunker the only one new angle i didn't like was the one on the back of nine do you know the power four i always liked it side on yes because it's got like three tiers. And you can really tell the three differences you can't see the undulation well this was kind of at the back of the green. And it felt like it didn't seem as hard even it was obviously ridiculously hard yeah um yeah i felt like a lot of the new camera angles. And a lot of the when the camera men were actually carrying the camera. And dropping it down so i went i went in 2018 and it i must admit it is very cliche people say what's all gusta like it is bloody hilly it's ridiculously hilly. So some of those camera angles definitely showed that off better yeah. And then.
What about the golf um a little bit of a non-start at the back nine yesterday wasn't it i think going into it there was a lot of good stories again you have tiger coming back obviously amazing massive story scottish sheffler coming in under the radar no one really talking about him is rory going to win a major obviously not going to win it um he was close was he yeah yeah yeah. So i don't get a goal i'm i'm remembering his round yesterday yeah. And if you see rory yesterday yeah you think how can he ever lose yeah ever yeah. But that's not what we see all the time no it's four round tournament um yeah i enjoyed it i i did i think it was a little bit lackluster yesterday. But i see a lot of takes on that on twitter and stuff people say no it's a bit boring. But it it can happen that way sometimes it's not it's not anybody's fault no like some. For me the the one major that i remember seeing and thinking oh my god this almost can't get any better for storyline was when stenson was playing mackerel stenson was playing mickelson in the open was that your field yeah that time you couldn't you couldn't get any better no was it nothing laughter. So that time you couldn't and that story that was perfect it was epic two gladiators of the game going head to head. And they were. So far ahead of everyone else but it was because they were going yeah right that's what we needed yesterday a little bit more of an. And as cam came out and it was like oh birdie two. And it was like sorry birdie one it was like great here we go yeah we're gonna have a sword fight here now this is gonna be a real battle. And then.
Three happened and it was a bit like oh three was mad on it wind down this that was going like 10-15 feet by oh my god if you just shot from cam pitching in obviously yeah i think like there's scottish pitching it in the hole no. So obviously they both hit it left haven't they shaffler gets the drop from the grandstand yeah the immovable object which is permanent there which is always there gets a nice little drop like in play. And then.
They both pitched short didn't the cam's pitch was like what 78 yards was it yeah up on top. And he's watched scheffler he should have been like right just knock this up on you know it's easy to say that saying now isn't it but and then.
Obviously he goes and chips in but.
