Intro Music 0:07

Straight down the middle. It went straight down the middle. Then it started to pull.

Mike Gonzalez 0:15

Al, do you remember who you beat at that tournament and whether he was any good or not?

SPEAKER_03 0:21

I do. I know who he beat. Which tournament?

Al Geiberger 0:24

Greensboro?

SPEAKER_03 0:24

I know. Yeah. You know who you beat.

Al Geiberger 0:28

Uh we're talking about you or Trevino?

SPEAKER_03 0:31

No, we're talking about Trevino. The quiet man.

Al Geiberger 0:37

I was leading going into the final round at Greensboro. And I'm paired with this reasonably new guy we didn't know. All he did was talk all the time, Trevino. And we start going along and I feel like it's my tournament to win, the way things were going. And then pretty soon I faltered a little and Trevino started coming up and the galleries started going crazy. And I remember on the uh 10, 11, 12, 13th hole over there or something, they started cheering so hard for Torvino I had to do something quick. And because it it was getting out of character. Now I have a lot of friends in Greensboro, but they weren't very they were pretty quiet. I said, you know what I'm gonna do? And I didn't know I this it sounds like a Dave Stockton thing. I'm gonna send all those people home miserable because I'm gonna beat him. And I I knocked it up on that arena par five over there. And then the par three, which would be about sixteen. Does that make any sense?

SPEAKER_03 1:41

Sixteen.

Al Geiberger 1:42

And I remember hitting uh like a a top flight. Remember we could change balls. I changed a top light golf ball and hit a two-airn, like a bullet down there on the green and made the pot and uh one and that put me two, I think two ahead of Torino and I and won it. But uh but I I realized it made me so mad these people were thought he was so funny and cheering so loud. I said, I'm gonna send all those people home miserable. So when you see basketball teams, the home crowd and stuff, you want to send the basketball the team, the home team crowd home miserable. That's your goal. I probably learned that from Stockton because he's he thinks like that.

Whack down the fairway. It went smack down the fairway. And it started just like just smitch offline. It headed foot two, but it bounced off nine. My cat is as long as you're still in the stage, you're okay. Head went straight down the middle, five away.
