Hello everyone, welcome once again to the chipping forecast, he said, in a standard welcome greeting.

I couldn't really thought about the intro to it, so we're just rambling on. But what a weekend, what a result, what an event. Rupert Murdoch has finally found love at the age of 93, married for the fifth time. So good luck to him. Well done, everyone concerned. That's a beautiful thing. I should have been celebrant at that, Eddie Pepprell. Welcome, Eddie. It's funny you say that. I listened to a podcast, which I probably shouldn't have listened to, given that I'm getting married in a few months, but it was from a divorce lawyer on the diary of a CEO. And I've got to say it was very entertaining. And one of the amazing stats, there were many, but 56% of people get divorced. And the amount of people that remarried within five years was the thing that struck this divorce lawyer. And obviously, Rupert Murdoch is just not learning his lessons. Yeah, I mean, the 56%, 50% of those are Rupert Murdoch's, the divorces. So it's not, yeah, I mean, what does she see in the 93-year-old billionaire? Yeah. He was Sorry to interrupt, but he was also saying about these prenuptial agreements,

some of the clauses that he's seen in them, and they're just extraordinary.

And one was that for every £10,000 this woman lost,

she lost $10,000 a month or $10,000 a month of her allowance.

So, yeah.

Well, for every £10 in weight. Sorry, for every 10 pounds in

weight that she lost from her marriage weight, she would lose $10,000 out of her $70,000 a month

allowance. And that was a, that was a prenuptial agreement that stood and he couldn't get,

you know, it was just stood in the marriage. Must be the other way around, surely. I don't know. Maybe he was Rubin-esque in his desires. I'm not sure. Good, good start to the pod, everyone. Well done. Largely my fault. I apologize. Ian, what tournament are we going to start with? I mean, it's a US Women's Open. It's a big major. Listen, let's come on to that because Bob McIntyre, we were up watching Bob McIntyre win the Canadian Open. First of all, it was a bit nervy at the end. He had a five-shot lead at one point or a couple of points. And then, oh, oh. Yeah, I mean, he was slightly shaky down the stretch,

but actually I think he finished it off really, really well.

But the other guys, Ben Griffin, started coming at him as well.

So it was a kind of a perfect storm to create a really dramatic finish

when you thought, oh, this could well be a procession. We'd actually just,

I did my usual sort of Sunday night of a little bit of domestic family TV and then join the

golf. So see the start of the golf. It was race around the world. Ian recommends like that one.

And once that had finished and we'd seen who'd won that, it was who's going to win

the golf and literally turned over as Bob had taken that five-shot lead.

But it got really dramatic down the stretch there.
