Uh, did that have an added pressure for you at all when you got to the professional game to continue on that path of being on the PGA Tour? Because I would imagine at a fairly early age, I mean, you're committing to Oklahoma at 12, that people, uh, are telling you it's like, can't wait to see you on the PGA Tour one day, uh, whether that's friends or family, or just even that inner belief that you have walking around junior golf, uh, and showing up to Oklahoma with the dream of one day playing on the PGA Tour. Yeah, I mean, that's a good question. I, I definitely think it had something to do with it, you know, cause I, I mean, if you don't know my story, people watching, it's like, My pro career was not good at all. I've been saying recently, like when I when I was doing pro golf for 3 years, I was probably like get a scratch to 2 handicap if I kept a handicap back then I, but, um, because my golf game was just in shambles. I had right before I got to college, I started developing driver problems, um, which I had never dealt with before in junior golf. Like I always struck the ball really well, especially off the tee and um, you know, long irons, just ball striking in general. And then right before college golf, I started having driver issues, which I, you know, like I said, I never dealt with it before, didn't know how to deal with it. And throughout college, it was very up and down. Like there were months uh I managed it. Yeah, I can, I can manage it. Like I still get hit through wood all the time. I hit irons really well still, um, but with the driver, it was off and on some months, you know, 3 months at a time, I would hit the driver really well, like the US amateur I got runner up at, that was a week where I hit the driver extremely well. I was swinging as hard as I wanted at it and it was going straight. And then there would be months at a time where I couldn't keep a driver on the property. Like it was, it would go 120 yards right, 120 yards left, and two, two-way miss. Oh yeah, it was all timing dependent, very just, you know, and obviously you get under the gun. It's one of those where I get on, on the range, I could go stripe it all day, but you get under the gun a little bit timing dependent, it was all over the place. So what was the technical piece you think that was, uh, kind of led you down that road? So I finally figured it out about 2, 2.5 years ago, um, because, I mean, hold on, let me get a notepad cause uh I need to figure it out too. Um, but like after college, I, I tried so hard. I was like I had to figure out the driver, but I wanna play pro golf, you know, I had to figure out a way to be able to hit the driver straight and me trying to fix it and going to different people and all that made the driver worse and made everything else worse like with irons and everything, so. Couldn't, I mean, I was going to major events hitting 2 fairways around and 4 greens around on very pulses. And um, and finally a couple years ago, I figured out technical wise, especially with the driver, for me, my head moves off the ball at takeaway. Um, so I had to make sure I keep the head kind of over the ball. It almost feels like it's going ahead of it, but, um, that's huge just being able to keep my head more still and keep a little taller as well throughout the back. So more rotational on this. Yeah, so very much like I my, cause you get off, I mean, you can get rotational, but you got a long way to get back to the ball. The head's just all over the place. So when it's I'm hitting the bat, it's the head's going here, going back, and then going down. So it's basically trying to keep it centered and tall, and then, um, then the other big piece is keeping my arms, keeping a lot of width in my arms, uh, throughout the, the back swing. So. If you know, if you watch my swing at all, I set up with the driver head or really every club head on the the balls on the heel of the club. That's me basically, yeah, exactly, yeah.
