McGee walked in putts; every week in the past, throughout the occasion’s first spherical, he rolled in a 15-footer for birdie, and young blood had his putter raised and his toes transferring after three yards. McGee was magic on the mic, too, as GOLF’s Jack Hirsh recounted in a column final Sunday.

Good stuff. And, in fact, you keep in mind Trevino. Six-time main winner. One of the most effective ball-strikers ever.

“Number two, I have no other options; I can’t do anything else. So I love doing it. I can look for balls — [laughs] — and do that stuff. But I love it, I do. I go out every day; I hit balls for an hour, maybe two, chip, putt, do whatever. I don’t play much anymore. I go out to Bighorn, as you well know, in Palm Springs and play a lot of golf out there, but mostly I stay around the house, yeah. Love the game. Still love it. Can’t play it nearly as well, but I love it.”
More good things. Then McGee talked with Trevino.
The alternate seems to have come on Saturday close to a follow inexperienced on the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. McGee was hitting pitches, Trevino walked up and somebody clever on the Golf Channel’s social media team hit record, then shared the video just a few days in the past.
It’s right here the place we should word that McGee’s a lefty. That’s necessary.
“The thing that you’ve got to do, is when you’ve got to get a bet with your friends, just tell them, you say, ‘OK, I’m going to chip you for quarters, but you have to use my club,” Trevino stated within the video. “And they don’t know you’re left-handed, see?”
“That’s not a bad idea,” McGee stated.
“Not a bad idea, right?” Trevino stated. “Hot damn, don’t tell your mother I said that, OK?”
Hot rattling certainly.
