All right, welcome back to another episode of Subpar, Colt Nost and Drew Stoltz.

It was a very busy week in the world of golf, and we're going to get to it right away.

We're going to get zoned in with our friends over at zoned nicotine and nobody was more zoned in than Akshay Batia this past week at Bay Hill, picking up his third PGA tour win of his career, all three in a playoff, by the way. Started the back nine, five back of Daniel Berger, went out and shot a little 31 on the back night of Bay Hill, which was playing extremely difficult, did it with some incredible ball striking, some incredible putting. You talked about it earlier on our serious XM show. He shattered some records as far as strokes gained around and on the green. He said the all-time record in the Shotlink era, plus 17. That's good. He didn't even, like, we always talk about you got to drive it straight at Bay Hill. You have to or you just can't play well there. He hit the minimum fairways you could possibly hit and still be champion. But when you gain 17, once you get up to the green, helpful. So the record for the fewest number of fairways hit at Bay Hill by a champion before this was 29, 29 to 42. Akshay hit 18. That's wild. And by the way, that stat at 80% of the golf course on the BJJ Jordan doesn't matter. Like, yeah, you don't need to hit fairways to win out here. Bay Hill is like one of the few, like probably the top three. U.S. Open, Bay Hill, right, find one or two more, but like it's the most important thing. That, and it just shows like, A, how good he was when he was in the fairway, and B, dude, plus 17. Yeah, like that's, I mean, you're going to have to do something special to ever clip that. Yeah, the short game held him in it throughout the week, but then the ball striking really showed up there at the end when he needed the most. I mean, you look at the six iron on 16,

it took a couple of feet. Even the iron shot into 17. It was fantastic, 15 feet left of the hole. But I want to go to 18 where I thought he was really zoned in. We had his caddy Joe Griner on our other show on Sirius XM earlier today. And I didn't know this. They didn't say this on the broadcast, but I believe he had 171 yards in regulation. And he tried to hit a big high

draw nine iron. It did come up a yard short. I was fortunate to cover the water, but it was one yard

from being a tap in birdie. Fast forward to the playoff 15 minutes later. Same exact yardage. Wind shifted just a hair, but because of that draw nine iron came up short, his caddy, Joe Griner said this just shows you how many different shots he had. He had a little hold seven iron. Now, if he would have said eight iron, I'd be like, yeah, no big deal. Obviously, you just adjusted. Yeah, the first one was short. Two clubs difference, same yardage, pretty much same conditions, even with probably more

adrenaline in the playoff. I thought that was really cool to just to hear how Akshay, he's not

scared to hit different shots, work it both ways. And look, we feel like this kid's been a pro

for a hundred years already. I mean, turn pro at 17 years old. He's just 24. His future is so bright, man. Now with the broomstick putter, he's rolling the rock. It's really changed his game. Look out. This kid's coming. Yeah, I mean, the hardest thing I think to do when you're way under the gun is slow down and like take something off of a shot. That's when you see most guys like, you're in between clubs like take the shorter dude. You got adrenaline. You want to

be going on it hard. You don't want to be slowing down. The fact that he hit a seven on that second one, which I would say he hit it within five feet of where he was looking. Like it was the perfect shot given where Burger was. When he hit it, you fucking shanked He's shaped it in the middle of Furway.

And then it shows up.

I was like 20 feet from the hole.

I was like, that's perfect.

What the hell happened?

And they got the... hit it. I was like, you fucking shanked it. He shaked it in the middle of the fairway. And then it shows up.

I was like,

20 feet from the hole.

I was like,

that's perfect.

What the hell happened?

And they got the green and the red on the fairway and the stuff too.

I'm kind of like, just let me see it. I don't like, let me see it. like burgers on 18 and regular regular like it looked like when you hit it I was like that's fairway
