From 1 World Trade Center, I'm Alex Myers,

00:03

and this is The Grind.

00:08

What's up, guys?

00:09

Here's what I'm buying and selling this week.

00:11

I'm buying Jim Furyk,

00:13

who's magical round at the Traveler's Championship

00:15

made him the first golfer in PGA Tour history

00:18

to shoot 58.

00:19

58!

00:22

I didn't think it was possible to shoot 58,

00:23

using Jim Furyk in Tiger Woods's video game.

00:26

I spent a lot of time, trying in college.

00:28

I'm selling people detracting from Furyk's 58,

00:31

because it was only on a par 70.

00:34

Look, was it the greatest round ever?

00:37

No.

00:38

In fact, Furyk's previous 59 was probably better,

00:41

but still, a 58 is a 58,

00:44

so show some respect to Mr. 58.

00:50

I'm buying Russel Knox.

00:52

Wait, why are we buying Russel Knox again?

00:56

Oh right, he won the Traveler's Championship.

01:00

Just kidding.

01:01

Congrats, Russel, on your second PGA Tour win.

01:03

And also, giving us one of the most epic hat tosses

01:05

in golf history.

01:07

And I'm selling Rickie Fowler's Olympic haircut.

01:11

I mean, really Rickie?

01:14

What happened here?

01:16

You trying to scare everyone in the Olympic village?

01:18

On a serious note, I give Fowler a lot of credit

01:21

for being in Rio for the opening ceremony,

01:23

and involving his caddie, Joe Skovron,

01:26

but, again,

01:28

what happened, here?

01:30

This had to be some kind of bet, right?

01:33

I hope.

01:34

Onto more important matters.

01:36

This week in Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretsky

01:38

public displays of affection, or rather,

01:41

public displays of protection.

01:44

Instead of being in Rio, Dustin Johnson is spending

01:46

some quality time with Paulina.

01:49

Ah.

01:50

But some people are still critical of his decision

01:53

to not play in the Olympics,

01:55

and Paulina was not having any of that.

01:58

I'd repeat what Paulina said,

01:59

but I don't think I'm allowed to do that.

02:04

Great job, Paulina.

02:06

Way to stick up for your man.

02:08

And as always, we end with some random,

02:10

but important questions to ponder.

02:13

Number one.

02:15

Was Rickie Fowler's barber cutting under the influence?

02:22

Again, exhibit A.

02:25

Number two.

02:27

Will my producer, Ben Walton,

02:29

ever return from Rio?

02:34

Okay, so we probably shouldn't joke about that.

02:36

Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Mrs. Walton.

02:39

And number three, who will win the Men's Gold Medal in golf?

02:46

I'm not sure,

02:48

but if co-ed boat dancing ever becomes an Olympic sport,

02:52

I know who my money's on.

02:54

Thanks for watching.
