Straight down the middle. It went straight down the middle.
Mike GonzalezThen it started to hook He must have had a keen eye relative to looking at your golf swing because he picked up on a couple things that helped you that week.
SPEAKER_00He sure did. Uh that week that I got there, uh, I'd missed the cut in New Orleans. Uh I got to the Augusta National earlier uh on Saturday night and went out and practiced on Sunday, and then that Sunday night is when I received a uh received a call from Tom Kite saying that Harvey had passed away. Of course, this is This is before the week started. So in the practice session, so Carl noted that I was swinging too fast, and he said, I want you to put the ball a little bit further back in your stance, and I want you to make a tighter turn. And wow, it was just a simple simple tip and simple simple observation. I started hitting the ball solid, and uh my confidence grew and uh we you know made this plan to go back to Austin Barry Harvey, and I was anxious to get back to the tournament because I was enthused about the way I hit the ball in practice, so came back and everything was fine. I went out in the first day, played very well, that thing was working. Second day, same thing. Third day, some wonderful things happened, hit kept hitting the ball well. And so my mind was eased and and calmed. And but it was I I at the end, after it was over, I said, you know, it's unbelievable. It's just like it was like Harvey crawled inside of Carl's body. But things like that happened during the week. Uh I can't explain it.

Intro MusicWhack down the fairway. It went smack down the fairway. When it started to slice, just smidge off line. It headed for two, but it bounced off nine. My caddy says long as you're still in the state, you're okay. Yes, it went straight down the middle, quite away.
