Straight down the middle. It went straight down the middle. Then it started to do it.
Mike GonzalezWe'll move on later in the summer. This next tournament was about twenty minutes from my house. The former venue for the Western Open was about ten minutes from my house, but you won it at Cog Hill, the Dub's Dread course, by five over Greg Norman. And what a great history that that tournament and that Western Golf Association has been aware of the case.
Nick PriceThey were amazing and uh they appreciated good golf um and great sport, obviously. But uh I again got to Cog Hill and this was a golf course where you know just beautiful, beautiful uh golf course. Uh dog leg left, dog leg rights, the ball was releasing in the fairways, you could hit low shots, you could you could you could hit you just you could play any kind of golf around that golf course. And aga and again, there were some key holes there where your strategy had to be, you know, spot on. And so, you know, I ended up winning around there a couple of times and then losing in a playoff to Robert Allenby, I think, in two thousand and two thousand and one, I think it was, yeah. So uh great memories of of Dub Street.

Lee TrevinoWhack down the fairway. It went smack down the fairway. When it started to slice, just smit off line. It headed for two, but it bounced off nine. My candy says long as you're still in the state, you're okay. It went straight down the middle, five away.
