00:00Tommy Fleetwood wins up on the podium with silver. I kind of want to play it forward a little bit with Tommy in a way because he has a great day-to-day shoot 66, you know, the guy that played the best in that final grouping.
00:15I remember a couple of years ago when wills out source had a couple of near misses at majors and in big events, and we're just wondering, when is wills out or is going to win a tour event for the first time?
00:28And I look at Tommy playing great here, ending up on the podium, having a lot of confidence rolling in the FedEx Cup playoffs.
00:35I'm curious, do you think this is, you know, in the same fashion that wills out towards goes out and wins the FedEx St. Jude a couple years ago?
00:43Now that he has a little back issues on the back end of that, that's separate, but just do you think this sets Tommy up to maybe go out, play well in the playoffs, win one of these events?
00:53And do you like him at, you know, better at TPC Southwind Castle Pines or East Lake, you know, then another venue?
01:03You know, I haven't probably dug into that enough.
01:06I mean, I feel like when you're playing good golf, it doesn't really matter where you're playing.
01:10You know, you're the scores are going to going to show up.
01:13And Tommy is really, you know, the Olympics this week and how well he's played at this golf course that leg off national.
01:21I mean, this is should be Tommy.
01:23He should try to get a residence there, at least get a pro membership because he plays this golf course so well.
01:29If you remember, Molinari and him were just dominating there back in 2018 at that Ryder Cup.
01:35But we talk about him this week and you kind of refer to him just of near misses, like kind of like wheels out a tourist.
01:42I went back and just wanted to check to see Tommy Fleetwood's history just in majors because I knew there was a bunch and I wanted to see how many there were.
01:50And it surprised me that he's had seven top fives in majors.
01:55And then you throw in the second place here or silver medal here at the Olympics.
02:00You just look at, man, these are so many big events that he's given himself opportunities on the back nine.
02:05And whether it's not being able to capitalize or have a day like today where Tommy, even in the press conference after, it's just like I played good.
02:13You know, when you go out there and make eight birdies and he did make three bogeys.
02:17But still, you know, Scottie Scheffer went out and won the golf tournament.
02:20And really it just came down to the 17th hole, which turned out to be a two shot swing.
02:25They're both in the left rough, similar shots.
02:28Scottie Scheffer was able to land on the front of the green, give himself 20 feet and the end.
02:33Tommy Fleetwood from the same position hits, hits a good shot, just came in flatter with less spin, rolls over the back of the green.
02:40Not it was not up against the car, but enough to where he was thinking about it.
02:45I thought the pitch that he hit was very poor.
02:47I thought he could have done much better from there.
02:50Misses the putt, hit a good putt, just broke more than he thought, makes bogey.
02:54And there's the two shot swing that I think an advocate decided who won the gold medal.
