All right, welcome back to Subpar with Colt Nost and Drew Stoltz.

Momentzlies, coming off an epic match at the four ball, which we will get to here in just a little bit.

I'm worried about you.

You look a little tired.

Straight off, straight from the link, straight from Desert Mountains, straight down here. I still got sunscreen all over me, sweating, grinding it out. Work never stops. That's right. That's right. We got a PGA recap tomorrow. We got Aaron Rye to discuss. What a freaking performance, man. 108th PGA Championship at Aronimic.

You know, you and I were talking all week long going in

on our serious XM show. And pretty much everybody was saying to it. Even the players,

they were just, they were primed to absolutely destroy Aronimic Golf Club. And Mother

Nature, in the PGA of America, said, not so fast. They put some dicey pins out there.

The wind was way hard, blew way harder than I think anybody thought.

And it was out of the north the first two days, so it was cold.

But I've never seen guys struggle on the greens the way they did this past week in Erronomy.

And I loved it.

Did you love it?

Do we got a single-digit major champion without any rinky dink Mickey Mouse bullshit, I feel like? So, yes, I did love it. I was shocked, like when Rory said it's a bad setup because no one can separate themselves. I was like, going into Sunday, we had 22 guys within three shots of the lead and like 40 within four. And what world is that bad?

I mean, I'll tell you who it's bad for is our producer, Stellar Shide, CBS trying to fly around, show as many shots live as possible, and us trying to cover everything. But as far as an entertainment standpoint, what more could you ask for? I mean, all you want is just so many guys with a chance to take the lead. I mean, at one point, the great Justin Ray, who's my stats guy, texted me, and Justin Thomas made a birdie on Saturday. And he texted me goes, Justin Thomas was the 14th guy to have a share of the lead today. No shit. That was on Saturday. I mean, dude, looking at the leaderboard, like, the first page is like first and then second was tied all the way down.

You go to the next page was like still tied for second. Then it was like tied for 12th. And there was another 15 guys. Like that's awesome. And by the way, like we had superstars up there. I mean, dude, Rom was up there. Ludwig's up there. Rory's up there. Gauterups up there. Xander's up there.

Like you had the big name.

Scott was not too far back.

Yeah, Scotty wasn't too far.

Like Scottie was not too far back. Yeah, Scottie wasn't too far. Like, Scotty was well within striking distance. And then you had a smattering of like non-superstars. And it's like, I was like, that to me feels like a great setup. And also, it's okay to not have just like, like when we were on a radio show, talking to every player is like, is like there's nothing to stop you from hitting driver here. It's just going to be smash it, hit as hard as you can. If you're in the rough, it's fine. You're coming in with, like, it's not crazy rough. You can still hit good shots. Then the wind comes up. Then it gets cold. Then the PJ of America obviously, or apparently heard what people were saying, tuck some pins in some crazy spots. All of a sudden, you had to play for the fairway. And for the first time in ages, I mean, you and I have harped on this. We get callers calling in. Every fan, I thought, like, it's fun to see a golf tournament that's decided not by just, like, who can hit it the hardest. But it's like, playing from the fairway matters. That's the only chance you have to get close. And Aaron Rye did all the things you need to do extremely well. And like, is it the sexiest winner? No. Is it the biggest name? No. That was the best golfer in the world last week. And it was, I thought it was awesome. Honestly. He played phenomenal. and just going the fairway, I mean, I've always been taught like fairway was a good thing. You're supposed to try and hit those. And everybody said, you know, the rough wasn't going to stop these guys. And that changed rather quickly. I had a little bit of rain on Wednesday night and into Thursday morning. I don't know if it just made it a little thicker, made it a little juicier, but guys were really struggling. And there was occasionally you'd get a lie and guys were able to advance it. But for the most part, especially like the 10th hole where the fairway sloped so hard right to left, we saw so many guys just trickling into that rough. And they were forced to lay up with the pond in front. Yeah, which is awesome.

Like also, there's no tree.
