Intro Music

Straight down the middle. It went straight down the middle.

Mike Gonzalez

Then it started to Let's go to your next uh win, at least uh regular tour win. Was right down the street from where I'm at, uh down here in the low country of South Carolina. It was at the Seapines Heritage at Harvardtown Golf Links.

Bruce Devlin

And uh I wasn't very happy that week.

Mike Gonzalez

And why not?

Bruce Devlin

But sitting there thinking I was gonna get in a playoff, and then looked like it could have been a five-way playoff.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, it was it was uh I'd done everything I could do to let everybody back in the tournament. Let me put it that way. I tried to let everybody back in, bro. You deserved it, buddy, I can tell you. I'll never forget that putt uh Haler when uh he had it about 30 or 40 feet on the last hole, and somehow another to uh hit a putt that there's no way that it can stay out, except that I guess it was my time to win. But it was uh it was aw that was a special place, as Bruce would tell you. Gosh, it was good to win there. I love that place.

Bruce Devlin

Great golf course. It's a it's a very rewarding golf course, though. You gotta hit a lot of different shots there. You can't you you know, it's pretty hard to just be a a drawer of the ball and get around there all the way, or a fader of the ball. That's right. You have to basically do both.

SPEAKER_03

Well said. Yeah.

Mike Gonzalez

It's it's probably grown up over the years since you guys first played it on the tour. Uh in terms of maybe some of the lines you have to play now, but boy oh boy, that's a that's that's not a very open.

Bruce Devlin

The trees are growing in, Mike. I mean, some of the corridors back then, you know, in the early days of the golf course, were you know, they were okay, but now boy, they're getting tight.

SPEAKER_03

Well, they're because they're able to hit wedges, wedges over all the trees now. So, you know, we were hitting five irons.

Mike Gonzalez

Whack down a fairway. It went smack down the fairway. And it started just like just smitch off line. It headed for two, but it bounced off nine. My candidates, as long as you're still in the state, you're okay.
