Transcript

I've been having master's withdrawals for about twenty four hours now. When did you first start to notice the symptoms? Probably late Sunday. Maybe when Rory teed off on the twelfth hole. I started thinking to myself, it's gonna be another year before I see guys teeing off on this par three again. What am I supposed to do with a full year? What do I do after this? I didn't have an answer. What of symptoms have you been experiencing? I've been watching highlights nonstop. I watched the same approach shot on the thirteenth hole 10 times from every angle you could find it. Are you sleeping okay? No. I haven't slept a wink. I closed my eyes last night, and all I could see was Augusta National. And have you played yet? Yeah. I went to my local club this morning, but it's not the same. They don't have Sub Tier. And what is Sub Air exactly? It's basically an underground system that controls the moisture in the greens. The greens crew has complete control over the golf worse, and you can't say that about many places. No I don't think enough people nerd out about Sub Air. Do you think this will pass? No. I mean, I've been here before better year. And you try to fill the void with other majors, but you know that's not gonna happen. There's nothing like the better. The only thing I can really do now is just wait till next year.
