0:00.0	I just thought that was an interesting comment from Gilhance of like, hey, it doesn't matter rough,
0:05.5	link, none of it matters. If it's not firm, then it's not going to be, it's not going to be
0:09.7	the challenge that it should be for these guys. And that's somebody that literally built the course.
0:15.0	So I'm interested to see how it's playing early in the week, what the weather's like, all that
0:20.3	stuff going into the second major of the year. I think that they're going to have to compensate by
0:25.1	either artificially making the greens faster or really growing out the rough to put a

0:54.6	Justin Rose, a winner in 2010 at 10 under.
0:57.9	That should be what they're shooting for this week,
0:59.8	like a 12 under winner.
1:01.6	And I don't know unless they really make it penal to miss a fairway
1:05.3	that they're going to be able to achieve that.
1:07.0	At Mayo Experience.
1:15.3	Yeah. that. At Mayo Experience. Welcome to the Pat Mayo Experience.
1:17.1	Kickoff to PGA Championship Week from Aronemic.
1:20.5	We got very stacked field, although Kyle Porter's joining me on the line right now.
1:24.9	Kyle, let's jump in.
