Welcome in. This is 300 yards to unknown, joining me as he does every Wednesday. Although, spoiler

alert, it is a Monday. It's Eric Patterson from the score. What up you, Pat?

Not too much, Rick. Thanks for having me back on. Yeah, looking forward to breaking down the memorial with you. It was quite the week, a lot going on. Fell asleep on Sunday for a bit

and then woke up to a rules controversy, I'm sure we'll get into. So, yeah, fun one.

We will definitely talk about that let's just

talk about uh the memorial in general john rom goes out gets uh the biggest victory of his

career but i think this the storyline was the carnage man i mean mirfield village not messing

round interview and they're like, oh, that was, that wasn't fair. Or like they lost the course,

but you did not hear anything about that in regards to Mearfield Village. So I think then you can say,

okay, well, if they're not complaining about it and they thought it was fair then i guess it was fun yeah so rome

rham was talking about how much he loved it how it reminded him of his u.s open uh jt said the same thing

and then on uh sunday when mickleson was putting from the fairway and then he laid up up on the 16th, the par three.

I thought we were going to get some flame quotes from him after saying, like, you know,
