| 0:11.4 | Welcome back to Subpar with Colt Nost and Drew Stoltz. |
| 0:15.1 | And once again, I want to give a huge thank you to Truist for having Sleese and I out at the |
| 0:18.9 | Truest Championship. |
| 0:20.0 | We were down on the south end at the fan zone. The Queens Palace. It was absolutely glorious down there. Some great interviews with Gary Williams and then our one today with Johnson Wagner. I just want to thank them a lot, man. Had a great time down there. The fans were fantastic. Absolutely. Nice little spa day for the ladies in there, too, if you're lucky enough to get out there. |
| 0:37.7 | A little manny. Mani Petty situation. They deserve it. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. |
| 0:42.7 | I hope you had a great day on Sunday. But the walk off home run, the buzzer beater, the photo finish, that feeling when everything lines up. |
| 0:50.4 | And you get what you need, just when you need it. It feels unbelievable in sports, but when |
| 0:55.7 | it comes to your finances, it can make you feel unstoppable. Visit truist.com today to see how having |
| 1:01.1 | the tools you need and a great team by your side can help you take your game to the next level. |
| 1:06.7 | Truest Bank member FDIC. Nailed it. Chris Raeton, he deposited a rather nice check into his truest bank account. |
| 1:14.5 | My goodness, what a win it was for him. |
| 1:16.7 | And just his 15th start on the PGA tour sleeves. |
| 1:19.5 | He had won twice around the world early in his career. |
| 1:22.6 | This is his first win on the PGA tour. |
| 1:24.5 | A guy who'd been sneaking up on the leaderboards the last several weeks, had a very close |
| 1:28.5 | call there, the Zurich Classic, but he crossed the finish line in a big way around Quail Hollow. Yeah, some sneaky good golf kind of starting at Valero. That's kind of where it jumped off, finished runner up at Zurich, but team events, so a little bit different. But he's been, he's been quietly playing some really good golf. And I mean, how about this? |
| 1:43.4 | The guy that, you know, a handful of years ago, |
| 1:45.5 | almost gave up the game, played horrible on the DP World Tour. Funny enough, was contemplating giving up competitive golf, getting into YouTube golf. It was like the reverse Bryson. Like, I ran out of places to play. I'll do YouTube. Bryson's like, I can play anywhere anytime. I'm going to go to YouTube. But good decision by him to stick with it. |
| 2:03.7 | Also good news for Luke Donald. |
| 2:06.5 | He's got another option potentially in a year and a half. |
| 2:11.0 | With Rayton and Alex Fitzpatrick, both playing good. |
