Straight down the middle. It went straight down the middle. Then it started to hook just.
Bruce DevlinTony, you mentioned you mentioned Dave Hill's name earlier. I I can't let the uh the US Open go at Hazeltine without saying one of his quotes. He said, Hazeltine was only missing 80 acres of corn and a few cows. They ruined a good farm when they built this course.
Tony JacklinYeah. Well, of course, it it's and you know that it's it's very it's so exposed as well. It was then, Hazel Teen. And when that wind blew across the plains as it did the first day, I mean it set the I mean, you know, Palmer playing Nicholas 798081 the first round. But you know, I mean all I basically had to do after the first round was was hang on.
Mike GonzalezWas Dave Hill at the prize giving, uh finishing second?
Tony JacklinI can't remember and I don't care.
Mike GonzalezI I I I assume he was only because I think he got a little bit of a razzing at the award ceremony and uh and as he's getting booed, uh his comment was if I couldn't moo like a cow better than you people, I would send myself to the slaughterhouse.
Tony JacklinWell, of course, you know, he was off the wall. I don't know what I don't know what he was uh he I don't know whether he had a a bottle of something in his back whether he was smoking stuff, but he w he would say stuff. Uh he could play golf, I'll tell you that. He was a good player. He was a hell of a player. But you know, you never knew what you were gonna get with him. It was uh you know, I just I just kept my head down and uh uh I wasn't looking for intelligent conversation when I was playing alongside him.

Intro MusicWhack down the fairway. It went smack down the fairway, and it started to slice just smidge offline. It headed for two, but it bounced off nine. My caddy says long as you're still in the state, you're okay.
