BUCK: Got a special surprise for all of you now. Our buddy Clay Travis calling in from I don’t know which hole on the golf course, but he is out there at Bedminster, the Trump golf course where the LIV tournament is being played. Clay, how many eagles have you gotten so far?
CLAY: So far, no eagles, nor have I killed anyone, which was the goal. Buck, the best shot I’ve had was an approach on 9 that I just hit. Downside is the approach on 9 came from the fairway on 1. So, I was not exactly in prime golfing position. I have one par through the first nine. I’m at the turn. This course is amazing — just absolutely fantastic — and I’m playing with Brooks Koepka, which is pretty fantastic obviously. You can see the guys crush the ball on television, but standing in the tee box and watching them crush it is a different world, and also a different level of pressure because you’re not just out playing with your buddies, you’re out playing with pros. Not that they care where I hit it, but them standing over your shoulder is definitely a different dynamic.
BUCK: Is it a best ball situation or are you doing your own thing; he’s doing his own thing?
CLAY: He’s doing his own thing, but if we par, the amateurs… So I’m here with Chris Harrison, who’d hosted The Bachelor and The Bachelorette forever. Charles Barkley’s out here. I think I’m gonna have some of those guys talk to us at the end of the round and break this all down. We should have some fun audio tomorrow. And for people out there, we’re gonna be live with President Trump tomorrow, and he’s out on the course right now, and it’s been a lot of fun.
BUCK: How’s his game, by the way? Is he a big hitter, the Trump?
CLAY: He’s a pretty good player, and he plays a lot. So, he’s got a great deal of talent. So, it’s a lot of fun. And I can’t wait for tomorrow. I think you’re gonna love it. Out here, I believe we’re starting off the show with President Trump.
BUCK: That will be fantastic. Clay Travis needs to focus on his game. He’s gonna win this Pro-Am out at LIV in Bedminster. Clay, if you want to call back in later, give us a ring, and I’ll see you tomorrow.
CLAY: Yeah, for sure. I’ll give you an update when we get four or five more holes in. Hope everybody’s having a fantastic Thursday. It’s tough to be playing on this course.
BUCK: Fantastic. Clay Travis, everybody out there doing the golf thing. I wish I could be there. I don’t even play golf. But I’m working on it.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
BUCK: Clay Travis with us now. Sir, so what did you shoot today out there at Bedminster?
CLAY: We are… (pause) Though we were about to take one in the head there live on the radio show.
BUCK: Gee.
CLAY: You never know what’s gonna happen, right? We are still finishing up. I did just get a par. So, that’s a highlight of the round — and for everybody out there who doesn’t know, we’re gonna be live out here at Bedminster tomorrow with President Trump, which should be pretty fantastic. He’s excited. He managed to play 18 holes in 3-1/2 hours with Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau, which is about as fast as you could possibly go. So, that was fantastic. It’s been an amazing time. We’re still only on 15. You can hear me; I’m walking it, a little bit out of breath, about to step into the tee box, so I’m gonna let you guys go. But, Buck, I will see you out here tomorrow.
