It's a special event. I am in Los Angeles, California, sitting directly across from me at a table, my beloved friend, our PGA tour correspondent on the ground, Nathan Hubbard, and an extraordinarily special guest here today in Los Angeles, California.

1:07.0

Fresh off of a top 50 finish in Las Vegas, Nevada, made the cut close to check.

1:17.0

That's close to second. I got a participation ribbon.
