00:00Well, okay. So just to briefly flip over, we named a couple of these, but just, I just

00:08wanted to set the table for Beth page. Cause that's, we're all looking to next and a total

00:13shocker. When I pulled this up, Scottie Shepherd is not leading the radical point standings,

00:18at least as of July 22nd, 2024. I don't know how they're going to factor in FedEx cup standings,

00:23but Xander number one on this list. This was right after his open championship wins. That

00:27makes sense. Scotty. Number two, Bryson DeChambeau. Number three, call more call a number for

00:33Brian Harman. Fifth, Billy Horschel. Sixth Wyndham Clark. Seventh Patrick can't lay eight

00:41Russell Henley. Ninth Tony feet out. And so hit the gala 11th and Max Houma 12th Brian

00:50Harman's fifth. I I'm reading what the official Ryder cup website tells me. It's also, it's

00:56also confusing to me because then I'm going further down the list. Sam Burns is 19th.

01:01So I don't know how to make a lot of sense of that. I know how important it is to play

01:07well in a Ryder cup year. The points are, are magnified much more in the year of the

01:12Ryder cup. So yes, there are standings. They're not going to be quite as consequential of,

01:18of how you play in 2025 will ultimately be the, the, the X factor of, of how you make

01:24a team. Yeah. I'm just, I'm scrolling down. It's, it's a, it's a pretty hilarious list

01:28when you get a little further down. Uh, yeah. Keegan Bradley's 26 on this list. So he's

01:32going to have to pick himself if he wants to be a playing captain or you haven't played

01:35great. I want Keegan playing in the Ryder cup and I think him and like as a playing

01:41calf, he's the perfect playing captain. Um, what he said, he said that to us in Atlanta.

01:47Do you think he really, I just wonder how his mindset on that's going to shift over

01:51the course of this next year. Um, I mean, obviously I think it would be the players

01:55coming to him. You know, there's going to be a six players that qualify on points and

01:59they're going to meet, um, like they do once the points are finalized and, uh, talk about

02:05who they, who else they want on the team with them playing. And it's just advice you get

02:09from the players. He wants to take their advice, but, uh, they, they could be like, Hey Keegan,

02:14um, I know you're 11th on the points, but we, we really want you to be a playing captain.

02:21And I think, uh, that, that, that group of Scotty and Xander, I think there'll be, you

02:27know, very, you know, fair to, to Keegan in this and, and either under your dead. And

02:34I think Keegan will know that if it's, if it's close and he's in that six to 12, uh,

02:40that's, that's kind of the spot in which I think he'll really lean heavily on the players

02:45and the vice captains of, Hey, is this make sense? But cause Keegan's a good, it's a good

02:49course that, uh, Beth page is for Keegan. All right. So just, just for funsies. All

02:54right. Just a little time capsule here. You're either really going to look back on this and

02:58you're going to be hilariously wrong or like on the nose. Just give me your 12 right now

03:04and Beth page. I think you're going to be there or it can be who you'd like to see there.

03:07Just so however you want to do it, just give me a 12 man roster for the American. Okay.

03:10I'm just going to look at the list that you have right in front of me. So Patrick Kaling,

03:14Colin work hours, Andrew Shoffley, uh, Sam Burns, Russell Henley, Scotty Sheffler,

03:22man, it's going to be hard. Um, who's the one guy that's not going to make it. I'm going

03:27to give you somebody, I think Wyndham is somebody that's going to have to qualify on his points.

03:33I think he's been, I think that us open wins really helped him be making points on, uh,

03:40the Ryder cup and the president's cup. He had a good first half of the year, the president's

03:43cup, but Wyndham really is a guy that's been hit or miss and inconsistent. Like even this

03:49week, I just don't think you ever really know what you're going to get lately with his golf.
