Straight down the middle. It went straight down the middle. Then it started to hook just.
Mike GonzalezSo as defending champion coming back the next year, what happens? Do you get to play with anybody special because you're defending champ? Uh, do you remember?
Bruce DevlinYeah, I do remember. I remember very well. Uh I didn't play quite as well. And of course, that time of the year, uh Saturday and Sunday, you you know, we were teeing off two T's. So uh Sunday, the last round, I'm I'm teeing off the back uh the back on the tenth hole, and uh my two playing partners were Charlie Sifford and Pete Brown. And everybody will remember that they were black. And uh my wife always walked in front of uh me as I was playing, so if I was hitting my second shot into a green, she'd be at the green. And this particular day, uh the sixth hole uh half four, and I'm getting ready to hit my second shot, and I hit it on the green and putting out, and I'm about to walk over to the seventh tee, and she is laughing uh to me and comes over and says to me, You won't believe what just happened. I said, What happened? She said, I walked up behind these two gentlemen at the back of the green and one guy says to the other one, So who's coming up next? Uh guy said, Well, uh Bruce Davlin and Pete Brown and Charlie Sefford. And the other one guy says to him, So which one's Bruce Davlin? It was sort of pretty funny when you think about it. So we walked onto the 7T and I said to Charlie and Pete, I said, I got a little story I gotta tell you. Well, that broke them up. We couldn't, I don't think anybody could hit a tee shot at the next haul for a minute and a half. Everybody was laughing so much.

Intro MusicIt went smack down the fairway. And 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.
