| 0:00.0 | All right, everybody, welcome back to subpar with Colt Nost and Drew Stoltz. |
| 0:13.9 | The Texas swing is over. |
| 0:16.3 | The Charles Schwab Challenge, the house that Slee's built at Colonial Country Club. |
| 0:20.4 | Russell Henley, what a |
| 0:21.8 | performance on the back nine from him. A little 31 on the back, including birdies at 16, 17, and 18 |
| 0:27.1 | that got him into a playoff with Eric Cole. And all he did was just followed up with another |
| 0:31.8 | birdie on the first playoff hole to pick up his sixth PGA tour win and surpass 50 mil in career earnings. |
| 0:39.4 | Good run. |
| 0:40.3 | Good run. |
| 0:40.9 | I asked you this on radio, and you actually had a good guess, because obviously it's going to be something stupid, because I said, where do you think Russell ranks on the PGA Tour career money list? |
| 0:50.6 | And you guessed 20. |
| 0:51.9 | He's actually 17, which is pretty wild. |
| 0:54.0 | 17. 15, I mean, it's going to, which is pretty wild. 17. 15. |
| 0:54.9 | I mean, it's going to just keep changing year in, year out. I saw this crazy thing, too, because Joaquin Neiman just went on live. Yeah. His live earnings would be top five all time just since Liv started. He's won eight times over there. So, yeah, good run, good time to be good at golf. And Henley's doing exactly that. he's like, I think we're seeing the best Henley that we've seen maybe since he turned pro, like, right now. Like, he's the straightest driver on the PJ tours. Iron game's always been really good. Putters, solid. Like, he doesn't have, if you go down and look at his stats, there's not one that, like, stands out like, ooh, that's not great. other than driving distance, which is skewed. He had to like $2.95. So short. |
| 1:30.5 | He's a $145. one that like stands out like ooh that's not great other than driving distance which is skewed it's |
| 1:28.5 | like 295 and it's so short he's a 145th on the pj tour he's not like short but it's that's that's the |
| 1:35.1 | only stat that he's really like outside the top 40 in anything meaningful yeah it's just the whole |
| 1:41.1 | game's well-rounded you know for him he came out really hot in his career then it dipped a little bit and the putter was actually a mean, it's just the whole game's well-rounded. You know, for him, he came out really hot in his career. |
| 1:44.5 | Then it dipped a little bit, and the putter was actually a big problem. It's gotten better this year, even though some people on Twitter would argue with me about that. But listen, he got to number three in the world at one point last year. He was a rider cup. I know he didn't have the best rider cut. Nobody did for Team USA. but now the put gets gets all the attention. Like if that, if it didn't come down to that putt that he left short, people would talk less about Russell Henley at the rider. Yeah. And I mean, look, he's just an extremely solid player. You talked to everybody that played with him at Georgia. He talked to Coach Hack. By the way, congratulations, Coach Hack on an unbelievable career. What a run. One of the best to ever do it. |
| 2:36.7 | The dude, I hate to say Bulldog, because he is a Bulldog, but he is just such a tough competitor. He's never going to, like, blow you away or wow you when you go watch and play. Because, like you said, he doesn't hit it crazy far. His Iron Game is extremely good, but people don't get that excited about that stuff. and he's just, he's got a very solid all-around game. And there's a reason he's won six times out there now. |
| 2:39.6 | He's not the most exciting to watch. |
| 2:41.2 | He's not going to, you know, freak out, run around and do anything crazy. |
