| 0:00.0 | Welcome back. |
| 0:00.6 | Chuckie's coming to you live on 106. |
| 0:02.2 | I'm the fan and the team 980 here in the DMV. We'll talk to Nikki Javala, covers the commanders to the Washington Post. She'll jump on at 8 o'clock. The veterans report tomorrow training camp officially underway on Wednesday. But join us right now on the Rood guest hotline. Root's the most reliable heating and air conditioning products in the DMV. Jason Sobel, Sirius XM, CBS Sports HQ golf analyst. Hey, Jason. Hey, good morning. How you guys doing? Doing great, man. So Scotty did it. Dominating fashion. I don't know how many times. What they say? Nine for nine, ten for ten now. It's just regular tournaments. like, I don't know, four or five for five now and majors when he's had 54 whole lead. |
| 0:22.0 | Didn't really blink yesterday, had an opportunity there. We double-bogued, what was that, eight? Then he birded nine. They birdies it right away, and it pretty much, you know, smooth sailing from there was never really in doubt, was it? No, look i know some people criticize scottie sheffler if you're |
| 0:58.4 | going to criticize the guy who's winning like this for being quote-unquote boring and |
| 1:02.4 | this is what golf looks like at its highest level even tiger woods like tiger missed half |
| 1:07.5 | the fairways and you know tiger would put on some fireworks when he'd have to, you know, |
| 1:12.3 | bend one around the tree or hit one out of the lip of a bunker. Scotty kind of does what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to stand on the D-box. The goal is let's hit it down there as far as we can in the fairway, and then let's sit the next one on the green, and then let's go try to make the putt because that's a birdie and those are good. |
| 1:09.0 | And he's boiled it down to such simplicity that you almost want. the green and then let's go try to make the putt because that's a birdie and those are good. |
| 1:27.8 | And he's boiled it down to such simplicity that you almost watch him and say, well, why doesn't |
| 1:33.6 | everybody else just try to hit it really far in the fairway and then onto the green and then |
| 1:38.6 | roll in a butt? It just, it feels so simple. And I can understand the notion that people look at and go well it's kind of boring because you know he took all the air out of the blue and we're all excited to wake up early and watch the open championship and see all these great players contending for a title and Sunday turned into a coronation and that's because scotty just did it better than everybody else. |
| 2:05.3 | Well, and a lot of people, Jay, think that his personality is boring as well. |
| 2:10.1 | I mean, winning putt and it looked like he had just won a college tournament. |
| 2:12.5 | You know, this is the open. |
| 2:18.7 | So that's, he's also getting criticized for his personality, not just his game. What are on that and i just think i mean he did show a little emotion when he took the hat off |
| 2:23.4 | and his you know his wife and son came up so he was screaming a little bit but a lot of people |
| 2:28.0 | criticizing because he's just not very emotional on the course i understand you know the the lack of on the golf course. Again, this kind of comes hand in hand with being a great golfer. If you're out there like, Tiro Hat and throwing clubs and, you know, then smile over the way around when something good. Like, there's maybe why he's one of the more talented players in the world and hasn't won a major championship. You kind of need to be a little flatlined when you're out there. |
| 2:52.6 | That said, I would not mistake the lack of emotion inside the ropes and on the golf course |
| 2:58.9 | for a lack of personality and a lack of anything going on with Scotty. |
| 3:03.4 | We all heard that response of more than five minutes to a question in his press conference before the tournament last week, |
| 3:11.9 | which I thought was some of the more introspective, insightful comments that I've ever heard from any superstar athlete, |
