Model of consistency.

He's got 24 PGA Tour victories.

He's got two majors.

But tell me why one green jacket solidifies the legacy for a guy that, with all those numbers, should already have it.

Because Dustin Johnson one what would arguably be the second hardest tournament toe win?

And because D.

J was also over four when leading going into a Sunday of a major championship four times and is the last one that he had was this year at the PGA, saying friend, he had the lead going into Sunday.

Now he didn't lose it.

This time it was Colin Moore, Cal who just outplayed him at that PGA.

But when it comes down to it, D.

J.

Had that two hole stretch where it got really sketchy when he bogeyed number four number five and it was like, Oh, is he gonna do this again?

Like it was a one shot lead and then making that Bernie on six?

Just the shot that he hit on the par 3/6 hole was so money E mean it basically was D.

J, saying he had not Not today, Not not today, so I mean, what Dustin has done now has has definitely elevated him past just the upper echelon of the golfers of today.

This guy has won a tournament for 14 straight seasons, which it doesn't sound like much, but it is so almost impossible to do.

Toe win, at least once a year at the minimum of once a year in this sport is just almost unheard of their Onley.

The greatest golfers have done something like that.

And Mike, you know, very similar to how we saw in the NBA Finals with LeBron James.

You're playing without fans.

How different was it not having any patrons there?

You not being able to be on the course?

What was the overall vibe like in Augusta?

You know, Jay?

Well, it's funny that you ask that because on the podcast earlier this week, we had Tom Rinaldi and I said, You know, Tom's all of his teachers that he does is all about feelings, right?

Like usually it's Tom Rinaldi walks in the room.

Sad music starts playing somebody start crying like even without talking, right E get so mad when I say that about two e But I asked him straight up, Say man like you're the king of the Fields.

What's this feel like?

And he said something so eloquent and it just was so gut punching Lee.

True, the patrons at Augusta Natural at Augusta National during the Masters are the soul of that tournament.

So the soul wasn't there.

So everyone knew this.

You were still getting a green jacket.

It still was going to come down to that back nine.

But the field off, not having those roars.

And earlier in the week Monday, I had been there.

I was actually in Augusta on Monday and was asking was with Jon Rahm, uh, Ian Poulter and Rickie Fowler.

Oh, and all three of those guys said the same thing.

You know who what roar is for because you know where everyone is on the course on Sunday because, you know, these guys know you know, everyone's teeing off, so you, if you hear a roar or a groan coming through those trees, you know where it came from.

And depending on the volume, you know who it's for.

So not being able Thio here that completely changed how this Masters felt.

If I don't believe one iota off my being that it would have changed the outcome.

D J with this was hit.

And he was gonna win this year regardless.

But it definitely changed the vibe and the feeling.

And thank goodness we're going right back there again in April.

Michael Collins, My true riel life Caddy.

Just so that, you know, joining us here on Key Shine J will in Zubin Mike, Um, with D j winning this thing in November and being the number one player in the world, what does this do for the particular sport, man?

And I was gonna say, you know, Zubin gave me that amazing intro that I got, you know, 37 job.

I got jobs like a Jamaican, but he left out the most important job.

I gotta ESPN And that's being your caddy keys.

So I'm saying, right, right.

Come on, man.

So that out there, um, you know what this does for the sport?

It is exactly what this sport had toe have at this moment.

The fact that the Masters was being played in November and that we had college football and the NFL going on both Saturday and then college were born in the NFL on Sunday as well.

As much as I know, Camera Smith and I know son J n right there good dudes not I got nothing against him.

Cameron Smith, the only guy Masters history to shoot four rounds in the sixties, and he lost by five.

But I'll tell you, this is Cameron Smith or Sunday in one, the one that would have been a disaster.

It would have been a disaster for the sport.

The fact that D.

J one, and like if Cameron Smith or Sunday AM wins, y'all ain't calling me right.

It ain't leaving SportsCenter.

There's no way there's no they might lead SportsCenter Australia.

But it ain't leading SportsCenter here.

Waken laugh because it's true.

Like that's the thing you could say whatever you want.

But like if these they don't win the way that he wins and show his dominance.

His world number one.

We ain't talking about it today, so that's what it's been for the sport.

I The only thing I feel bad about D.

J is the winner of the Masters on Lee gets to keep the green jacket until he stops being defending chance.

So while tigers have to wear the green jacket longer than anybody else in the history because he had it from April 2019 to November in 2020.

If VJ don't win in April, my man is gonna be like, Yeah, I just put this jacket on.

What you mean I can't take it back?

I can't see your home leaving in this bull.

We gotta do something different here, so that's the only downside.

But I tell you what.

I am betting against BJ this coming April.

So yeah, right now.
