Paul McBth has finally gotten another win after a 2-year drought, obviously that PCS title years ago. It's been quite some time now. So, we'll just go with a broad statement here. What does this win mean for his legacy? Uh, you know, are there long legacy implications? Is this really not that big of a deal? Uh, where where does this win kind of sit for for you guys? Brody, what do you think? >> So, I think you're going to have people on both sides of the fence not really change their opinion, right? You're going to have the people that are the Paul McBth fanboys, the ones that think he's the greatest of all time. It doesn't really matter what Paul does the rest of his career. It's only going to add to it for them. Uh, and then you're going to have the people on the other side of the fence that are either, you know, more in line with like the King Climo or more in line with maybe some of the new age players like Ganon Burr, AB, those type of players and saying, "Well, he's not winning nearly as much as he used to. The field's way better, the talent's way better." And I don't think there's going to be that much he can really do to prove those people wrong or to maybe get them to jump over onto his side. But the people in the middle, the people that are kind of not on one side or the other, I think this is a massive win for him. Not only is he uh I believe the first ever to win twice at this course. Very, very difficult course to win at to begin with, he's the first one to do it twice. He also took down the number one player in the world, coming off of three wins in a row, Ganon Burr, uh in thrilling fashion. We saw some crazy shots that final round, not just from Ganon, but also from Paul. So, I think this is a big win, especially coming off of the fact that he hasn't won in so long. So, I think those people like that are in the middle, seeing him win now uh against Ganon, I think that will shift it a little bit more to his side. >> Yeah, no doubt anybody that...
