And once again, wanna give a huge thank you to Truist for having Sleaze and I out at the Truist Championship. We were down in the south end at the fan zone, the Queen's Palace. It was absolutely glorious down there. Some great interviews with Gary Williams, and then our one today with Johnson Wagner. But just wanna thank them a lot, man. Had a great time down there. The fans were fantastic.

Chris Rayton, he deposited a rather nice check into his Truist bank account. My goodness, what a win it was for him. In just his 15th start on the PGA Tour, Sleaze. He had won twice around the world early in his career. This is his first win on the PGA Tour. A guy who'd been sneaking up on the leader boards the last several weeks. Had a very close call there at the Zurich Classic.
