I Spent An Afternoon With Korn Ferry Tour WINNER Luke Guthrie

what is going on welcome back to the channel and welcome back to jacksonville florida i'm hanging out with two-time corn fairy tour winner mr luke guthrie fighting illini alumni wow stay that fast play some part three golf talk about his game meet a new new player to root for this season on the corn ferry tour so enough talk let's go play some golf [Music] how do i know luke well one of my best friends you can see right here one of the groomsmen in my wedding played golf with luke at the university of illinois they were big 10 champions in 2011 matt turned pro luke turn pro the very next year luke then won twice on the corn fairy tour that year he turned pro but he lives here in jacks beach now and matt stayed with luke for our wedding so luke is very very special to this household because if it weren't for him matt would have slept on our couch probably so i'm gonna go meet up with luke at the yards now play a little par-3 action talk about a season talk about his career and just just have a good day [Music] hey good good space to leave it fresh off the cart yeah he's on the ground [Music] so like last season was a season but not a season like it still continued to this season so they just combined it since that was the discussion the pga tour more decided like it wasn't going to be enough of a sample size to take cards away so then if there are no cards being taken away there's no cards given so then it turned our season into a wrap around so it was a whole 2019-2021 season geez then i look at it like someone like yourself this past year was a bit of a struggle but it's almost like you're afforded this man you could write a lot of wrongs with a good stretch a good two three weeks because the whole game's like yeah pro golfs it's all about it's marathon like you somebody once told me you make 90 of your money and 10 of your events like you when you're playing good you need to hit it yeah you can't be scared of winning that's like when you turn like when you came out of college that was yeah that was that yeah i was playing really well i was putting good hitting it straight knocking it close and it's like the hardest part was getting out of my way that was my i finished top 10 7 out of 10 events i think in the web that year yeah and i was finishing third and fifth and just shooting three under in that last day when you know the web it's always go low yeah yeah and that was my learning experience was just get out my way and just when you're going good just let it happen [Music] the fact that you have that experience you know like those moments to draw from and the experiences of lifting the trophies on that tour you know it can just yeah come back the right work and like that's where i'm super excited to watch because yeah matt's made me like a big fan of yours right i want to see it's like i'm excited and playing with you today it's like you can see like oh okay you have that know what it's like to win at that tour and it doesn't matter who else is in the field because at the end of the day i know what my good golf looks like my good golf and how it wins a golf tournament so i do take a lot of confidence from the fact like i start playing really well i don't even know what year i get jumbled now it would have been i guess 19 2019 and like i was conditional kind of in a weird spot trying to find tournaments playing mondays and i was playing good golf gosh just shooting 67 every time you know yeah monday and just saying see ya and it's just like but it was good it could compete anywhere and i finally got to start like eight weeks and finishing top ten maybe four times and qualify for this open i just i kind of burned myself out slash just fell back in a rut and that's where i need to get better is i can be a perfectionist and when i start feeling things get off i just like try to grind it back in and go back into the bad parts but to your point like i had hit some shots today i hit some bad ones i lost three balls today but i had some good ones that were like my old good and i'm just like if i can start replicating that i just knew it was right today was an overall very positive day even though if you added up my score it wasn't good but i know that if i do that consistently i'm going to win we've hit the beer loop hit the beer loop these are the three short greens at the yards it's luke's first time at the yards got a quick two off lead on me two off lead it's all about wedge game now it looks like yep we got a gallery we do have a gallery [Music] there's a big door just on the front left so 64 yards luke you probably wouldn't put yourself in this position if you had your say right out there i want a little longer yeah normally i'm like 70 yards at least that's more of a full shot what's kind of the thinking here obviously you're just trying to execute this shot you said 64 yards contact's priority i always want to be accelerating through the ball my danger here is taking too big of a backswing you're starting to de-sell under the ball and that's when weird stuff can happen some rhythm and some controlling the length of my backswing so i can be aggressive through the ball and i had a good shot that was pretty pure though yeah i mean i'll take that if you like if you like a foot i do like a foot typically i don't like bringing my putter out won this match we got now what's a close-out game i didn't tell you we're doing a close-out game so a new match starts on the next hall okay perfect perfect [Music] wow wow and we just had a new game starting i can give you that fin to win so this is uh i guess if i win the closeout match the rubber match will have to be on the black hole makes sense it only makes sense so don't make this putt [Music] what a lag what a lag you really wanted the black hole to matter so you won first match i won the press now we go to the black let's do it i always say if my golf cart ends my next thing is a hand model because whenever they run b-roll clip on espn of tiger ever getting hurt it's my hand that comes in and shakes it at the end this is like that's me you're there wait a little more that would've been my face we played saturday we barely meant to cut one by one or two it was like a 7 20 tee time on saturday a.m and i'm not a morning person if i'm ever a morning person it's that day like i am just wired obviously first time i've ever played with tiger obviously my golfing idol along with a lot of people when i'm growing up in the 2000s he introduced himself i introduced myself who got off the first tee like i was obviously nervous but big crowd check your trousers yeah exactly i'm still good okay and i'm like how do you i've written book reports on this guy i mean like incredible you know like i'm 10 years old when he's doing that 2000 tiger yeah and i'm like i've read raising the bar all those and like can't be like hey where are you from man like where'd you grow up asking about his kids walking up the second fairway and he was awesome play with the best experiences that's so cool and just he would start conversations i would start he was really fun we shot matching 65 so i made birdie on the last hole the time which was a big deal because i could play with him the next yeah but then turned in you could tell something was off that day he was picking up the ball weird teaming up the ball weird hitting different shots like and unfortunately had the withdrawal but i respect him a lot he was grinding his butt off until he made an eight footer for par on 13. and he gave that like it was the put the one he was hoping and he probably knew he was withdrawn wow after that putt he was like he owed it to the fans it seemed like it was cool i think the honor is mine there sir we're on the back deck here this is the black hole and the pin is tucked left six iron he has been striping folks and he did not disappoint a lot of wind up there a little deep but that was a quality strong side shot right there the honor has its downside he gets to re-club go on a 7-iron [Music] he's flirting with the black hole but i think he's safe [Music] you're on the edge of it the edge of it right there you've played riviera yeah you played the genesis this is very similar like you got the backstop only they do not have black sand i think you might be away that's true i think it's gonna pop up i'm pretty straight this would be awesome if i made it oh my god oh my gosh i mean riding the heart oh that's why you have status on tour that's why you're a stud and i'm making youtube videos [Music] no way oh that was an epic effort you win this one but i i want a rematch sometime definitely thanks for uh hanging out thanks for beating me on the black hole thanks for all your
