yeah I've had this conversation with a couple different group texts um it's tough I I think it's very situational of where you are in your career um like for me personally I mean I'm two majors sounds a lot cooler than one uh but then again winning six times all of which being elevated events and players and a gold medal sounds nice too uh might be better to answer that question if something were to happen you know the next couple weeks but for me personally I I would uh I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I would take xanders just because of two majors but um but yeah talk about a no lose situation those are two pretty good ones i' I'd definitely rather just try to play as well as I can and um I mean I know that if I put myself in contention to win the tournament and and have a good chance then I'll be more than okay um I think uh you know the there's a lot I'm sure a lot of statistics and and invol D of what percent chance you have how many points it might take to get through and I probably I'm not the person to ask because my rookie year when I finished in finished at this tournament I was told that I'm in Atlanta and everything you know I'm in and there was a lot of groups left and I went on to finish 31st so uh I'm not a huge fan of that uh situation when you finish on 18 and being told what's happening because there's so many as we saw last week there's a lot of variables and things that can happen so I just I feel like trying to finish a certain you know top 16 or whatever the heck it may be like I know I'm in a a good place and feel like likely would if I play how I feel like I should I'm fine but I'm trying to get move up as far as possible to start as many underpar as I can next week i' I'd say both of those both of those words come to mind comfort and anxiety I think last year I had a lot of anxiety about making the rder kep team and um I want to make the presence Cup team just as bad but I I just I'm in such a better place and my game is in such a better place that I I'm not coming to tournaments trying to play well to try to make a team or to try like I I feel that I'm fully capable and I'm playing well enough that I'm can win every tournament I'm playing in it's just about you know putting myself there and doing it so I think that's just the biggest difference is that last year I was playing well or I was I was playing to try to play well to make the Ryder Cup team versus now I feel I'm I'm trying to play well to try to win golf tournaments and try to have a chance at the FedEx Cup and I feel like if I do those things then that should be good enough for the presence Cup team and um my want like I said my want is there just as bad it's just the how I'm thinking about it in my head is a lot healthier and a lot better
