Welcome in. This is your Friday Scramble for February 11, 2022. I'm Rick Damon. That right there is Andy Lack. Andy, good Friday to you, sir.

Good morning, man. How fun is this tournament?

It's phenomenal.

It's phenomenal.

It's so good.

It is so good.

I am consistently amazed how just conditions that are a little, little firmer and faster can make for such an enjoyable viewing experience.

It is a very simple recipe on the PGA tour.

The best players will tell you that.

But when you combine firm and fast plus the field that we have, plus the raucous activity

going on in the stands at 8 a.m.

It is making for quite a beautiful viewing experience. Yes, I'm, I'm,

very much enjoying it. And like, that's how they do it in the sand belt in Australia,

Rick, is like they don't really believe in watering their courses. Now, for some reason, we in the

United States, specifically the PGA tour, have decided that we want to water our courses all the time and make them very soft.

And that's where you get that target golf.

So my hope is that they do not water, overwater the greens tonight, tomorrow night.

And they continue to bake out because I'm having so much fun watching,

you know, pros just get a little testy.

It's not like birdies aren't out there, you know what I mean?

But there's also more trouble at every turn, which in my opinion is, makes for much more fun golf.

Yeah.
