Straight down the middle. It went straight down the middle. Then it started to hook.
Mike GonzalezLet's just go back to the masters and uh and uh without going into a lot of detail. I guess uh uh one question I'd ask you, because I think it might pertain to the masters, and it's a question we ask all of our guests, if you had one career mulligan, where you where you might take it.
Larry NelsonYeah, that would be the twelfth hole of the masters in '84. We didn't have to think about that very long. No, no, I think about that I think that about it uh, you know, quite a bit. Every year when the Masters comes on television, I think about uh because I was a U.S. Open champion at the time and after birding the hardest hole in the golf course, which was 11, I just kind of felt bulletproof being from Georgia. The crowd just went wild up behind the uh 12th green, 12th uh T. And I try to calm myself down the whole time walking up the hill from the 11th green up to the 12th T. I said calm down, calm down, calm down. And um I never did get calm enough, I think, to to think about the shot and all that. Uh so I hit a six iron, hit it fat, and uh I didn't know whether to say get up or get out, because I didn't know if we would get to the water. And uh that's where a a good caddy would have probably helped me win the tournament that week. Uh he said, just hit it over the bunker and let's go to 13.

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.
