00:00:22.297 --> 00:00:24.140
What is up everybody?
00:00:24.140 --> 00:00:28.611
Hey, welcome to another episode of the Chasing Daylight Podcast.
00:00:28.611 --> 00:00:33.771
Kind of got a big show going on tonight, but I want to thank everybody for joining us here.
00:00:36.405 --> 00:00:39.173
We are live on YouTube.
00:00:39.173 --> 00:00:41.969
Well, we're also on Facebook but, like I said, who knows if anybody watches Facebook stuff anymore?
00:00:41.969 --> 00:00:44.838
So, thank you, everybody that is hopping on Facebook but, like I said, who knows if anybody watches Facebook stuff anymore?
00:00:44.838 --> 00:00:49.587
So, thank you, everybody that is hopping on YouTube.
00:00:49.587 --> 00:00:52.784
If you're there, throw us a what's up so we know.
00:00:52.784 --> 00:00:55.466
It just shows us how many people are watching.
00:00:55.466 --> 00:00:57.064
It doesn't tell us who is watching.
00:00:57.064 --> 00:01:01.127
So if you're in the chat, chat, chat us up, let us know you're there.
00:01:01.127 --> 00:01:02.942
I got it scrolling on the bottom.
00:01:02.942 --> 00:01:04.646
We're going to announce the winner at 9 o'clock.
00:01:04.646 --> 00:01:08.653
I've got the wheel of names all ready to go right here.
00:01:08.653 --> 00:01:16.227
So once we get to 9 o'clock, I have an alarm set on my phone so we don't forget, because sometimes we can get a little long-winded.
00:01:16.227 --> 00:01:17.832
Hey what's up Colby.
00:01:17.939 --> 00:01:20.766

Uh, I want to give some much, much ado, some much love to mike from beautiful golf courses.
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.450

00:01:46.450 --> 00:01:48.506
So, mike, I know you're watching.

You're an amazing fella and you know this was.

You know he has a huge following.
00:02:04.527 --> 00:02:10.008

You know there were a lot of people that.
00:02:16.425 --> 00:02:26.067
You know we had over 600 comments, actually over 700 with the other thing, but I took any doubles out because I don't want people getting an advantage because they decided to post more.
00:02:26.067 --> 00:02:28.829
So, mr Tafajian, how are you doing tonight?
00:02:28.829 --> 00:02:30.385

00:02:58.325 --> 00:02:59.008
That's pretty brutal.
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.209
I haven't ran out of breath in a long time and I just did so.
00:03:02.209 --> 00:03:09.213
I ran out of breath in a long time and I just did so, getting all right it was a hot one today, man, very hot it's it's, it's been hot uh and we got lucky at
00:03:09.373 --> 00:03:11.794
high ute yesterday because the wind kicked up in the afternoon.
00:03:11.794 --> 00:03:15.897
I knew a couple people that were out there after us that it was bad.
00:03:15.897 --> 00:03:19.045
So, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, so, uh.
00:03:19.045 --> 00:03:22.764

Matty G is going to chime in with the weather for this weekend because we have a VGN event, a major at TPC Vegas on Sunday, so we'll have that.
00:03:35.768 --> 00:03:45.341
Then we can chat about some of the courses in town, some of the conditions, because we have played some courses that are in some absolutely fantastic shape right now.
00:03:45.341 --> 00:03:47.127
That's not getting any recognition.
00:03:47.127 --> 00:03:58.063
I've been posting it on our page just trying to get a little love out there, to get some people to maybe venture outside their area of where they're golfing at, uh, so we'll be talking about that.
00:03:58.063 --> 00:03:59.066
And then we have a.
00:03:59.066 --> 00:04:00.288
We have a new segment.
00:04:00.288 --> 00:04:03.425
You know we've we've had quite a few segments.
00:04:03.425 --> 00:04:04.228
We've had segments.
00:04:04.228 --> 00:04:05.580
We've had segments over the years.
00:04:05.580 --> 00:04:25.557
Uh, you know, for those that have been around a long time, uh, you may remember this is going way back yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a while ago yeah, rat farts was a recap of all the fuck-ups we made on the week before.
00:04:26.517 --> 00:04:28.541
Um, so we we stopped doing that.
00:04:28.541 --> 00:04:42.970

Uh, let's see.
00:04:47.836 --> 00:04:52.908
And then after that, let's see uh, what did we?
00:04:53.170 --> 00:05:20.826
oh, here's it yeah, look at this instagram yep I think that was such a good segment like we were putting people on game on like just the underground up and coming like golf brands you know I I still get comments from people about it and we we need to do it more why did we stop that?
00:05:21.769 --> 00:05:31.187
just because with the four of us on the show and conversations next thing, you know, an hour and 10 has gone by and okay for the newcomers here.
00:05:31.387 --> 00:05:32.591
Look at the look at that.
00:05:32.591 --> 00:05:44.928
Instagram was a segment we used to do where all of us picked a brand or a course or a profile on instagram that we thought was up and coming right like we called out.
00:05:44.928 --> 00:05:47.725
So many dope brands and they're and they're doing good.
00:05:47.725 --> 00:05:50.341
Now, like a lot of those brands we called out are like killing it.
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:58.524
Now you know what I mean yeah, so, uh, if I think I do, I still have it on the archives under the ig page.
00:05:58.524 --> 00:05:59.425
Let me, let me see.
00:05:59.425 --> 00:06:01.548
I thought I kept everything there.
00:06:01.548 --> 00:06:04.213
Let's see if it's still in the stories.
00:06:04.213 --> 00:06:10.560

If you look at the highlights on our Instagram page, you can see all going.
00:06:16.990 --> 00:06:18.800
I mean, this goes back to August 2020.
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.605

Adjacent that podcast, I mean, there's some really fun ones to go back and and look at.
00:07:02.769 --> 00:07:07.475
So uh, if you, you know care to do so, do that.
00:07:07.475 --> 00:07:09.163
And so we have a new segment coming up.
00:07:09.163 --> 00:07:10.531
We'll do that after the giveaway.
00:07:10.531 --> 00:07:17.148
Uh see, if we can't everybody stick around for that, what are dan's odds to win the major this weekend?
00:07:17.148 --> 00:07:21.661
Well, we've had a little change in the field.
00:07:21.661 --> 00:07:26.110
Uh, julian, unfortunately, is not going to be able to play.
00:07:26.110 --> 00:07:41.141
His wrist is not good, um, and so I sent an email out to all the guys in the top flight saying hey, I know you couldn't play before, but if something's changed and we have a new player, that uh is going to take julian's, but not a new player.
00:07:41.141 --> 00:07:42.483
We have a player taking julian spot.
00:07:42.483 --> 00:07:45.427
So, uh, that's uh Mr Kowalik.
00:07:45.427 --> 00:07:46.788
He uh is going to play.
00:07:46.788 --> 00:07:50.314
So, uh, that just amplified, uh the field.
00:07:50.314 --> 00:07:51.696
So it's going to be good.
00:07:51.696 --> 00:07:54.285
But Dan is those that are new here?
00:07:54.865 --> 00:08:03.672
uh, we run a hundred person golf league in Las Vegas, and that's what he's referring to yeah, the Vegas Golf Network is the league that we, that we run here in town.
00:08:03.672 --> 00:08:05.264
110 don't sell it short.
00:08:05.303 --> 00:08:06.105
Joe, oh sorry.
00:08:06.305 --> 00:08:08.110
Sorry, my bad, that's my fault.
00:08:08.110 --> 00:08:09.031
That's my fault.
00:08:09.031 --> 00:08:09.894
I'll leave.
00:08:09.894 --> 00:08:11.298
I'll see you guys later, all right.
00:08:12.980 --> 00:08:14.944
Dan went Tonya Harding on Julian's wrist.
00:08:14.944 --> 00:08:20.038
I did that would have been Trey.
00:08:20.038 --> 00:08:29.086
Trey may have done that to Julian's wrist, okay, so let's, like I said, we'll get into that segment later on after the giveaway.
00:08:29.086 --> 00:08:31.449
Hopefully you guys stick around for that See if you enjoy it.
00:08:31.449 --> 00:08:32.910
I'm not going to tell you what it's about.
00:08:32.910 --> 00:08:34.631
You'll have to just hang out and watch and see.
00:08:34.631 --> 00:08:38.095
But let's get into some US Open talk.
00:08:38.095 --> 00:08:41.398
It's one of my favorite majors.
00:08:41.398 --> 00:08:43.201
They're all my favorite majors.
00:08:43.201 --> 00:08:48.077
I love the major golf tournaments, as do the other fellas and jeremy, hopefully, will be here shortly.
00:08:48.077 --> 00:08:52.105
For those of you wondering um, but it was, it was.
00:08:52.105 --> 00:09:05.336
There was some carnage, there was, um, there was some a lot of blood being spilled in the middle of the fairways amazing the golf course played incredibly tough and then it got wet and
00:09:05.398 --> 00:09:07.779
played Incredibly tougher.
00:09:07.779 --> 00:09:13.407
There were some people that shined Much credit to JJ Spahn.
00:09:13.407 --> 00:09:19.458
You know, I know I've been getting a ton of messages From the lab fanboys.
00:09:19.458 --> 00:09:22.931
I do need to clear the air here.
00:09:22.931 --> 00:09:26.044
I have no beef With lab putters.
00:09:26.044 --> 00:09:29.567
My beef is with the lab revealer.
00:09:29.567 --> 00:09:32.485
All right, sam knows this.
00:09:32.485 --> 00:09:33.745
We talked about it on the show.
00:09:33.745 --> 00:09:35.947
I don't care if you use a lab putter.
00:09:35.947 --> 00:09:46.172
I care what kind of human being you are, and JJ spawn is a damn good human being, damn good human being that guy.
00:09:46.533 --> 00:09:50.128
I mean, did you hear the story about him up at three in the morning to go to cbs?
00:09:50.229 --> 00:09:50.990
I love it.
00:09:50.990 --> 00:09:55.902
I mean just tugging at the heartstrings oh, oh awesome guy.
00:09:55.902 --> 00:10:01.528
I was rooting for him all week man yeah that dad first that putt.
00:10:02.288 --> 00:10:04.890
I mean what a way to win.
00:10:04.890 --> 00:10:22.283
You know, what a way to just drop in the longest putt made the whole week on the on his final hole after starting horrible yeah and uh, couldn't write, couldn't write a better ending.
00:10:24.307 --> 00:10:24.707
Incredible.
00:10:24.707 --> 00:10:25.490
And that putt was.
00:10:25.490 --> 00:10:26.712
That putt was perfect too.
00:10:26.712 --> 00:10:28.964
I mean I was right in the throat.
00:10:28.964 --> 00:10:35.215
I mean, if I mean, if you miss, it wasn't going that far past, but it was, yeah, it was just perfect.
00:10:35.215 --> 00:10:38.190
And and what a way to end a great US Open.
00:10:38.190 --> 00:10:40.422
Congrats, jj Spahn.
00:10:40.422 --> 00:10:41.383
That was, that was awesome.
00:10:41.383 --> 00:10:42.585
I'm going to remember that one for a while.
00:10:42.605 --> 00:10:53.284
That was, that was sick so all time like at least top 10 moments, at least probably probably five, clearly maybe I mean I mean that's pretty awesome.
00:10:53.745 --> 00:10:56.470
It's just that big of a putt is huge.
00:10:56.470 --> 00:10:58.011
It's massive.
00:10:58.011 --> 00:11:02.144
Yeah, that that goodness.
00:11:02.144 --> 00:11:04.506
So, um, how, what, what?
00:11:04.506 --> 00:11:06.009
What's your thoughts on?
00:11:06.009 --> 00:11:09.695
Who was it?
00:11:09.695 --> 00:11:12.125
Sam Burns?
00:11:13.946 --> 00:11:14.246
No, not Sam.
00:11:15.481 --> 00:11:25.253
Was it Hovland's shot on 18, hitting it a foot or not even a foot behind where JJ was and and giving him the perfect read?
00:11:25.253 --> 00:11:40.389
I mean the perfect read anywhere else on the green and that's not a small green anywhere else on that green, yeah, the chances of him making that putt drop dramatically.
00:11:40.549 --> 00:11:47.734
Not that he wouldn't have two putted in one, but I mean when well, he's more likely to three putt that than one putt.
00:11:48.179 --> 00:11:52.451
Yes, exactly, and I was like, oh shit, this could be some drama.
00:11:52.451 --> 00:12:01.208
And now I mean, he's like I'm going to stick this right behind where you are, I'm going to give you the perfect read and let you walk away.
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:01.701
I mean.
00:12:01.701 --> 00:12:02.644
So you're thinking.
00:12:02.644 --> 00:12:09.990
You're thinking that victor hovland wasn't in the running and he hit it, uh, two feet behind no, no, to give him the read.
00:12:10.390 --> 00:12:14.833
I don't think that at all that's what you're saying no I just think it's crazy.
00:12:14.854 --> 00:12:17.423
Let me give this guy a chance okay, okay, okay, okay.
00:12:17.644 --> 00:12:26.111
He's like I like his story let me, yeah, let me help my playing brother out let me see if I can help him seal this win up here.
00:12:26.620 --> 00:12:30.691
But I would love to have been.
00:12:30.691 --> 00:12:38.905
You know, a fly on Victor's brain when he walked up there and saw where that ball was and I'm sure he had to go.
00:12:38.905 --> 00:12:43.229
How the hell does that end up there?
00:12:43.229 --> 00:12:45.052
You know, because they're competitors.
00:12:45.052 --> 00:12:51.932
He doesn't want to give him any kind of advantage at all nobody ever wants to do that, I mean all jj needed was a two putt.
00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:54.283
Correct, and yeah, I mean.
00:12:55.063 --> 00:12:56.285
But it would have been.
00:12:56.285 --> 00:13:05.489
It would have been fun to watch that putt without the help, to see how well he did if he got it within range.
00:13:05.489 --> 00:13:10.291
And you know I mean a knee knocker, a little five, six footer to win the us open.
00:13:10.291 --> 00:13:12.519
That's some pressure you know.
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:23.172
But then we went to a playoff on monday morning oh there was no playoffs that night no, it would have been interesting, it would have been interesting alternate reality not saying I didn't enjoy how it ended up.
00:13:23.832 --> 00:13:45.477
I did it was amazing, amazing finish yeah but my whole thing about jj spawn like when he lost at the mat or players, like the way he took that hit was so graceful and like I became a fan of jj spawn after he lost at the players, I was rooting for him all week.
00:13:45.477 --> 00:13:56.302
Also, he's the only person on tour that we know of that can uh skateboarded and can land backside flips, which I used to skate, so I appreciate that.
00:13:56.302 --> 00:14:03.605
Uh, I thought that was really cool and uh, yeah, I mean he and he led for three days, right, or two days.
00:14:03.605 --> 00:14:08.033
He wasn't leading on Saturday, but I love it.
00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:12.486
He opened up with that 66 and just kind of just hung in there.
00:14:14.630 --> 00:14:16.914
Good question, sorry, go ahead, great question.
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:20.770
Bigger shot the putt on 18 or the drive on 17?
00:14:20.770 --> 00:14:23.044
Drive on 17.
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:23.884
The drive on 17.
00:14:23.923 --> 00:14:24.509
100% 17.
00:14:24.528 --> 00:14:25.517
Drive on 17 means to drive on 17.
00:14:25.517 --> 00:14:25.919
100%.
00:14:28.206 --> 00:14:29.831
Bigger than winning the Open.
00:14:31.522 --> 00:14:33.067
Yeah, because he didn't need to make that putt.
00:14:33.067 --> 00:14:36.408
He did not need to make that putt.
00:14:37.230 --> 00:14:42.029
Yeah, he needed to birdie 17 to get to where he was at.
00:14:42.029 --> 00:14:45.869
Yeah, exactly that freed him up to two putt on 18.
00:14:45.869 --> 00:14:48.128
It's just the cherry on top that I went in on one.
00:14:48.422 --> 00:14:51.528
You build your foundation and then you can build up from there.
00:14:52.823 --> 00:14:56.687
I know, but if you're JJ's- on and you're thinking about the moment.
00:14:56.687 --> 00:14:59.340
Is your moment for that tournament?
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.927
The moment's the whole Pac-9.
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:02.566
Or is it the putt on 18?
00:15:02.961 --> 00:15:03.946
That wasn't the question.
00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:07.863
The moment whole pack nine, or is it in?
00:15:07.883 --> 00:15:08.424
his head the whole.
00:15:08.424 --> 00:15:09.148
That wasn't the question.
00:15:09.148 --> 00:15:11.053
The moment was 17, 17, because he knew he had to make a move there.
00:15:11.073 --> 00:15:24.049
That was the whole that, yeah, but that's the whole that he know he needed to birdie though he didn't have to make the putt the, the whole entire gallery, didn't lose their shit when he hit the drive on 17.
00:15:24.350 --> 00:15:25.452
Screw the gallery, bro.
00:15:25.452 --> 00:15:27.486
Screw the gallery, Are you crazy?
00:15:27.486 --> 00:15:35.690
He set himself up to where he had a lead and he afforded himself the opportunity to putt.
00:15:35.690 --> 00:15:40.191
And he made the putt, which is the moment that everybody's going to remember.
00:15:40.191 --> 00:15:51.996
But since he birdied that, which he had a chance to eagle because he drove the green, he afforded himself that moment to start him all right.
00:15:51.996 --> 00:15:57.326
He could have two-putted that he still would have won here's.
00:15:57.346 --> 00:15:58.350
Here's the thing I think.
00:15:58.350 --> 00:15:59.051
Here's my thinking.
00:15:59.051 --> 00:16:04.601
If he doesn't hit that drive on 17, he's fucked.
00:16:04.601 --> 00:16:09.490
He has a tough time even making par, and 18 doesn't even fucking matter.
00:16:09.490 --> 00:16:10.673
Exactly.
00:16:11.453 --> 00:16:15.610
I don't know, victor got up and down from some nasty shit the day before on 17.
00:16:15.630 --> 00:16:17.346
Yeah, you were tripping.
00:16:17.346 --> 00:16:21.538
I'm not saying you can't, I'm not taking away the guarantee.
00:16:21.538 --> 00:16:24.349
You can't guarantee an up and down in that rough.
00:16:24.349 --> 00:16:26.364
You know you really can't.
00:16:26.364 --> 00:16:34.528
If he would have hit it in the rough he probably would have made par at best.
00:16:35.381 --> 00:16:41.485
He would have choked up I mean, he's like understanding the moment in the rough right Like he probably could have left it too.
00:16:42.229 --> 00:16:42.428
Right.
00:16:42.428 --> 00:16:46.866
He would have made par at best, could have made bogey, could have made double and then put himself completely out of the tournament.
00:16:46.866 --> 00:17:00.327
Like I said, 18 didn't matter, but because he hit that drive, all he had to do was just send it down the hill for a tap in birdie, put him up by one and then 18 played out like it did.
00:17:00.849 --> 00:17:07.522
If he would have made the 64 footer for birdie on 18 after bogey on 17, it still wouldn't have mattered, you know.
00:17:07.522 --> 00:17:11.150
So I think I think 17 was huge.
00:17:11.150 --> 00:17:31.583
Um, I think that was the, the clincher that got him the tournament and, like I said, the putt on 18 was just, you know, just the cherry on top, uh, yeah yeah, I was driving to my dad's house okay, and I saw him hit that, that shot on 17 and I was like he won it.
00:17:33.707 --> 00:17:43.250
That was the moment yeah that locked it up for sure I, uh, the guys that, uh, please let us play.
00:17:43.289 --> 00:17:58.191
We're talking about how Morikawa at Harding park Um, you know, a lot of big hitters didn't hit driver on that hole because it was too much of a club and they were too erratic, but it was the perfect distance for him.
00:17:58.191 --> 00:18:05.365
Jj, very accurate off the team, not a huge hitter, but he dug down for that one.
00:18:05.365 --> 00:18:12.269
He hit that well, had a little red ass in it and damn good execution.
00:18:12.269 --> 00:18:13.971
It was a hell of a shot.
