Transcript

Usually, I'm best trying to Get to the next shot, focus on the task at hand. Yeah. And catch my breath. No we're walking down the eighth hole, twenty twenty Masters champion, Dustin Johnson. It's so good to be out here with you, man. But tell me, is it more pressure coming here after winning the green jacket or in pursuit of your first one? Definitely in pursuit of one. You know, I've already won one, so it definitely takes a lot of pressure off. What's the key to success around the par fives at tier Best National? Well, first and foremost, sitting in the fairway, not the better, which I just did. But you have to take advantage of the par fives at Augusta. I mean, that's the one time where you, you know, you you give yourself a really good opportunity to make birdie if you hit good tier balls. I'll let you go down there and hit that shot. Yeah. I don't really want to, but thanks. Speaking of taking advantage of par five's, 2015 made three eagles on the par five's in the long run. What tier were what were you doing that year? Just bobbing it, just sticking it good?
