The Major Cut @ Royal Portrush

The Major Cut @ Royal Portrush

We are back with the major cut series. This is the open edition here at Royal Port Rush. Boys, this one is special. We are literally here 5 days before the pros are going to be on site here. The closest we’ve ever filmed to an actual major and it feels different. It It does. It doesn’t make sense. It It’s unreal. But the cut plus one 2019 Shane Lowry was a champion. Let’s introduce our caddies over here. We have Colin, Gary, and Patty. They look like absolute legends. You guys are going to hear them today. Um, I’m more excited to hang with our caddies than George and Wes, but I don’t blame you. I mean, that’s fair. That’s fair. Hey, whose T- box is it? Here we go. George is up. Let’s go. George, lead us off. Man, by default from Oakmont. And this is I think it’s the most nervous I’ve been um in a major cut. This is game number one on the tea from the USA. George Brian IV. George. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, dude. I’ll tell you one thing. In this first T- shot in the major, there is OB left and right. I’m sorry to say that, George, but it’s just staring at you in the face. It doesn’t phase me. It’s in play. Should cover the bunker. Yeah, it’s over the bunker. I think over the bunker. Yeah, we’re off. Well done. And we’re off. on the tea from the USA. Wesley Brian fresh off his first DP World event. Made cut. What? Whoa. Yes, I did make the cut on the DP World Tour. Okay. Gosh, I was backing off for that truck to pass. Uhhuh. Show the nerves. Not a big deal. I’m battle tested, George. Oh. Oh, it better sit. Stay in bounds. Stay in bounds. That’s all right. That’s fine. Oh, yeah. That’s fine. Yeah, bounce. You’re fine. Hey, we’re laughing now. I’m laughing now. On the tea from USA, Grant Horvat. Yeah. Come on, Grant. All right, let’s make a cut here, guys. Draw a little bit. That’s pretty good. Come on. Come on. Fairway. Fairway. Oh, they said perfect. Very good. Oh, they know. Fairway first. Fairway, dude. First sling of the day, too. That feels like a good start to a made cut. Grant, come on, baby. Boys, we’re here, boys. Get in here. Get in the shot. Jo, where are you? See you now. Oh, man. This is This is the best weather we’ve had so far. We’ve been here for a few days. Tell you one thing, the wind can pick up, so tomorrow could be a whole new day. But today, the weather is wonderful. We’re going to need a good score today. Plus one is a That’s a really low cut. That’s kind of scary. Well, to be fair, we have favorable conditions for it, but uh what they informed us of is they’ve set the the T markers on the back edge of every box. So, we’re actually playing it further harder and further than what the actual open’s going to be played. What? The pegs are on the back edge of the back of every box. Further back. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, we got to just Welcome to Royal Port Rush, huh? If it wasn’t hard enough, now we’re even making it harder than the open. George isn’t even in the tall stuff. And the driver this morning was like, “Oo, you got a rough day today.” I was like, “What? George has been on his accent.” Oh, no. We caught him. We caught him. He’s going to be His accent has been so strong this morning. Okay. Okay. If you’re If you’re watching this from here, do you not come to the States? Do you not try to talk like us? Like we all do it. Hey, caught a good lie over here. Actually, it’s not bad. This is not bad at all. 137 up about nine. Doesn’t feel like you want to miss this one short, huh? You want, you know, your best line to come in see the right edge of the tar cuz everyone sort of kicks in. Yeah, I see it. I see it. I feel it. Yeah. Oh, it knuckled. Sit. Goodness gracious. Oh, boys. Sit. Sit. Oh, no. Sit. That’s a tough start. Come out hot there. You’re going to love this pot here. Oh, man. Yeah, I know. It’s wet. That thought it was going to spin a little more. We got 114. Is that 108 front? 108 front. Try to land about 110. Whoa. Is that short? That’s short. Huh? Uhoh. Uhoh. Yeah. Thought he had decent. All right, Gary. Okay. 98 to the flag. 90. Only 98. 98 yards to the flag. uphill 105. Bit of a backboard behind the flag. So at least 105 on that friend of yours up on the right hand side. Okay. So Gary, you’ve been catting here for 25 years. 25 years. Yes. On this course here. Yes. Has anyone been catting longer than you here? There’s a few boys. Yes. But not many. That’s That’s unbelievable. That is unbelievable to be at the same course 25 years as So you know every break in these greens. Fingers crossed. Yes. I can’t blame the caddy today. Right. Exactly. The back stop. That should be pretty good. Yeah. Good job. That’s going to be good. I think it’s really good for a bird. Yes. Well, Gary, well done. Come on. Woo. We’ve already played one course out here and you cannot land every shot on the pin. You have to like land it short. That was an unintentional push, right? That worked out. I think it’s pretty good. Yeah, nicely. Not bad, George. Not bad. Nicely put. Not bad. Not bad. First putt of the day. Didn’t even hit one on the warm-up. Easy, easy. Oh, here we go. Let’s get a little read. Easy. Oh, easy. Oh. Oh, man. That’s great, dude. You just dropped that. I thought maybe. Okay, that was cool. Maybe. So, we saw Wesley. I was going to say breaking slightly to the right. Not much. His was coming in pretty fast. Exactly. Just be careful of the speed and actually we’re downhill a wee bit as well. How much out do you think? About the ball at the most. If you go too far, it’ll stay out there. Just a ball outside the left there. Okay. Okay. [Music] No. No, dude. Hey, tap and par. No, dude. Tap and par at Port Rush. Tapins and maybe respectful. I was too respectful. It’s not a good four. Nice, George. Well, it was in the whole way. In the whole way. Well done. Good pup, Wesley. Yeah, well done. All right, off to the second. He’s got the spaceship in full full force today, guys. Look at that thing. It’s the doors stop. The wand. Well, after the first hole, everybody made par. On to the second here. Hopefully, y’all are enjoying this. This is going to be a special day, like we said. We’ve never filmed a major cut this close to the actual major. So, this is different. I mean, this is this is real close. All right, 575 par five. While George is looking at the yardage book, I’m going to hit it right at that little sign out there. Dude, this is serious. George has got his yardage book out. I’m wring guys score. I know, but you got this is this is different. Turn. Keep turning. Keep turning. Oh, no. No, no, no. What’s wrong with that? It’s close to that bunker. Yeah, it’s short of that bunker. Is it? No, it’s not. It sort of feeds in towards it. Be close to it. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just follow that. Well done. That’s the line. That’s the line there. Okay. Spot on. Yeah. Usually when George hits it, that’s the line. So that’s good. Yeah. Perfect. Is that what you wanted? Yeah, absolutely. Okay, that’s the line. Thank you, George. You’re welcome. Draw. Draw. Draw. Draw. Draw. Draw. No. No. Draw. Keep drawing. Split all of them. I was going to say that. Yeah. Split all of them. It’s hard to say that. That was not bad. Little right of it. No, but right, but we’ll see. This is This is This truly it doesn’t make sense. Like we started this series a year ago. reaching out of course, hey, we have this idea. Come play two rounds. Yeah, sure. And now we’re here. The RNA is has us out a week before the open. Yeah. With set like Yeah. stand set up. It like feels like a major. It’s like doesn’t make sense that like they’re I think this is what we dreamed of. The vision for this whole series when we started it was right here. Can we make the cut if we play as close to the major as we can from the same TE’s, same conditions, and this time we’re pulling it from 2019 because the major has not happened yet. plus one. So, that has been the goal from the beginning. It’s here and it’s thanks to you guys watching the videos supporting our major cuts here. Y’all are amazing. Um, but we got some work to do and we also we’re all inside the cut line. We currently are for now. Um, but everybody that says we don’t read comments, we don’t listen. We know that the Oh, Wesley reads comments. Don’t Don’t you You’re not getting away with anything. The UK the UK was uh heavily heavily requested coming across the pond. Well, now that’s where it does Northern Ireland. Ireland. Northern Ireland is a part of the UK. Ireland’s not. Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. It’s like we’re in Northern Ireland. Okay, so it’s fine. I should know if that Well, you know, it’s really confusing. There’s like three countries within the next I’ll be honest. I’m not entirely certain, but I feel really convicted in that statement. I’m not bunkered. I’m on the right half. Yes. You stink, Lesie. Ball flew right there. It could have easily just gone way up into the high stuff. Instead, we’re first victim. First victim today. Unlucky. Probably gonna be many of us in bunkers today. Huh. There’s a few. Well, they’re not too bad off those TE’s to be fair. Like, how many bunkers do you think we’re going to find today as a group? As a group. Set an over under. Let’s go 10. 10. All right. Let us let us know. What do y’all think? Just take it straight down the middle there. Don’t know if nine iron’s going to get over the lip, but we’re going to try it. That’ll work. It will if you chunk it. That’s fine. That’s terrible. It’s worth a gamble. It’s a power five. We’ll have a go for it. Like it’s what? 273 to the front. You’re you’re talking nearly 300 to the flag. Bit of wind helping off the over your left shoulder as well. So, we just send it, Gary. Yeah. Just bang it down there. All right, Grant. Come on. Stay down. Left part of the green. Okay. Let the wind do the rest. Come on. Come on. Miss it. Miss it. Miss it. Oh, I hit it so nice. Miss it. Bunkered. Patty. We hit that so good. Patty, what’s the best score you’ve seen out here? The best score? Uh, well, apart from Larry and the tips. Larry 63. You You were with him? No. Well, I watch walked around. Okay. But who have you got? caddy for a caddy for a big lad who worked actually for the mayor of Washington and he shot 67. Wow. And he had played with Tiger Justin Thomas those guys at college age but then he was had a car crash and he couldn’t play golf for a lot of for a lot of years and he bogied three I think of the par threes and still knocked it around 67. 67. So that’s the best score you’ve seen. That’s the best I’ve seen. Yeah. Okay. Wow. Let’s see if one of these boys breaks it. All right. I got a hybrid hand 245 hole. Hit a cut hybrid. Um, see what happens. God, that was the number. Uh oh. What? Yeah. You know what? That’s past the trouble. It’s not bad. Yeah, it’s past the trouble. I mean, I had Wesley, I had to hit it high and soft. All right, we got 195 six iron in hand. No reason to not go right at it. Oh, sneaky stripe. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Wesley, it I It’s that thick Irish hair. I thought I thought you needed to land it short and it and it bound. The ball’s kind of The ball’s kind of heavy at the minute like in the air. Just kind of th I do prefer to go with the aerial attack and I only chip with my lob wedge. It’s probably going to make you really cringe at times, but the law wedge is the only thing I chip with. It’s all right. You fine with that? I I’ll learn as to go along with you. I’ve only just met you. Look, this is harder than it looks. You got that little false front there. Got a false front there. Yeah. So, naturally, you’re going to be favoring slightly right of the flag there. Okay. Grant. Okay. So, a little right. Little right. And well, the two evils being past the flag slightly. Anything short is going to finish up where your friend is if you’re not careful. Okay. Oh no. Sit. Oh, sit. Spin. Right. Stay there. Stay there. Oh no. Stay there. No. No. Stay. Stay. Stay. You better run. Shoot. Shoot. Shoot. Should be putting. Is he putting? Yeah, he’s putting. Okay. Oh, yeah. George, great shot, George. Oh, good shot. Wow, I thought you I thought you were getting the eagle bug, George. I thought I was getting the eagle. Wow. Thank you. Odd one here. Off a down slope into an ups slope. Up and over, downhill, left to right. Let’s just hood down a lob iron and see what happens. Good shot, Wesley. Pretty well played there. All right. Yeah, you can brush that one in maybe. So good. Again, this is going to be pretty quick going down this hill, Grant once it gets over the mound. Are we out of his ball mark? Yeah, exactly. I like that on his ball marker. And just be careful of the pacing. Actually, it should be downhill, especially the last sort of three quarters there. Okay. Sit. Sit. All right. Oh, man. Came out a little hot. George, you got a birdie putt. First birdie. Major cut. Port Rush. I don’t really see much in there. Yeah, I don’t see much either. Pretty straight. Pretty straight. Maybe a fraction uphill. This would feel good right now. We’ve made a little mess of this hole. This would feel great. It’s okay. Nice. Well done. Good job. Good job. Good birdie, George. Thank you. Good birdie. Thank you. Well done, sir. Thank you. First birdie in the books early. All right. We got a one under. We got an even and we have a one over par. George just said he’s more nervous filming this major cut than playing on the DP World Tour last week in Germany. Well, the first T- box, no. I mean, first T box I I couldn’t I mean, I was so nervous there. But like over putts here, I feel like I’m more nervous over putts in major cuts than I am like That’s good to hear, man. That means you care. How far we got? 170 pin, 160 front. 170 pin, 160 front. So 165 is a good shot. It’s one of the fest grains here. So as the ball just kind of goes on, it’s hard to stop it. Uh you have eight or nine iron, Wesley. I got eight iron. But that’s a penalty. Yeah. Yeah. You can’t ask. We’re gonna start We’re gonna start. This is getting really different. It’s just a YouTube video, George. So, a penalty doesn’t matter that much. 175 yards. 170 to the pen. Yeah. Okay. George has the honors. Here we go. I like that. That’s a great looking shot. Shot. Perfect shot. Thank you, George. Whoa. Look at that. Go. Mhm. What a That is some firm. Is that an eight iron, George? Yeah. Whoa. Stroke. Stroke. Stroke. Grant got a penalty. She’s got a we nudge right. I just wanted that to come to the right. Yeah, well n to right. What club is that? That might hang on. Oh, it slopes off to the left. That’s an eight. You just missed a we nudge to the right. It’s going to be interesting trying to hold the screen for me. I’m going eight as well. Oh, Grant, Grant, be good. Be good. Get in. Uh oh. Oh my god. Oh, good shot. My goodness. Yes. Whoa, Grant. Whoa, that was scary. Whoa. I was fully prepared to trip into that fescue. I George, tell me if I’m wrong here. Is there anybody in the game of golf on par threes that hits the ball directly at the flag stick more often than Grant Horvat? And I’m tell I’m talking about the best players in the world. I’m not just saying on YouTube. Yeah, probably. That’s a dog comment. I’ve hit one. I don’t think I’ve ever hit a shot. You’ve probably hit three in your life on part three. It truly is. Like every single part of three, it goes right at the flag. It is impressive. It’s like your superhero superpower. You’re speaking that into existence, dude. You’re like a good YouTuber. Like I’m I’m just a YouTuber, man. That’s all I am. This first par three right at the pin takes a one hop and you’re like, see, I don’t know how to receive compliments like that. I just got to just say thank you. Just say thank you and smile. Thank you. I think this one’s going a little right early then straightening up. Skye. Oh, hit it. I hammered it. Oh, boy. Whoa. Whoa. Oh, now we got our first moment. The whoop moment of the match. The whoop moment of the match here. The first footer. Are you going to tap? That’s This is what I do. I tap. And if you were to tell me by me marking and waiting, do I statistically have a better chance of making the putt? Pace of play. I’m out of everybody’s way and I’m going to go for the tap. Dude, that’s a crazy tap. Can we get a camera on George? No, I can get a camera. Statistically, you put better when you do that. But what I’m saying is more of like a respect thing. Like, hey, you know what? I’ll let you guys come up. No, I’m respecting the game by playing faster. By promoting pace of play. Hey, I can see that. Over here in the homeland, do y’all like pace of play or y’all like people to play slow? I agree. I agree with you. I was like, you like fast f. You got everyone against them. So, we can pin the whole world against George if need be. It’s just going to start. Just go ahead. The tapping. Yeah. Good luck, George. Oh, I pulled it. I’ll tap it in, Wesley. There we go. There’s the spirit. There’s the Christmas cheer. Bang. George. George. What do we see here? Gary, dude, I my accent. Oh my gosh. How you doing, Gary? Um, that’s good. That’s That’s Scottish accent. Oh, this is getting bad already. All right. A little right to left. I did about right to left. Okay. And maybe a fraction uphill as well. Like right edge. Right edge. Thanks enough. Yeah, right edge is plenty grant. That’s my fault. Shouldn’t have said anything. No. Dad damn it. Yeah. Well, oh god. That I think I think we all thought I think we all thought it was going in. No, I don’t I don’t get mad at that. Oh, dude. All right, Captain. So, this right here is the biggest We are on to the fourth hole. It’s 52 yards. We have three scores of one under, even, and one over. This is a beast. This is a long one. They’ve lengthened us by 30 yards since the last open. Yeah, it needed to be tougher. There’s OB all up the right and a bunch of bunkers that look like we’re about to hit it in. Is there Obie left too? Just right. Oh yeah, that’s got to be in a bunk. Left, left, left. It has to be in a bunk. It kicked left right in that. That’s perfect. I don’t even know where I’m aiming at this one. Probably at the flag stick and we’ll just figure it out from there. Whoa, that perfect shot. Thanks. Nice shot. Whoa, that was good. Y that must feel nice. Nice. Yeah, good shot. Good ball. Oh, what a kick. Yeah, pretty good. Perfect, dude. Perfect, dude. Perfect. Dude, perfect. Look at this little path. I was just telling Wesley and George, this is actually really tight. Like if I was playing here in a tournament, it’s 500 yards. There’s little white soldiers that are just guarding the right edge of the fairway. But also look, it’s all shaped this way. So it it’ll probably kick there. And George, not everyone drives you. And your but think about your right misses are a little weaker. So it’s going to go shorter. So really, if you just commit to it, I’m telling you, if you commit to it, don’t be My right miss has no boundaries. It’s fear. It’s fear based. Look at this bit of a launch pad here, Grant. So it’s going to go very high up in the air naturally. Yeah. Give 196 to the flag. But we want to carry this one. Yeah. More or less all the way if you mean there is a bit of a backboard behind it if you know what I mean. So probably a couple hundred won’t hurt you. So you’re saying 190 carry maybe at least. Yeah. So 96 pin. Mhm. What’s the shortest we could land it and it would get back there? I still reckon 190 cuz it’s going to go so high in that air. I’m just going so high in the air like it is 190 to the front of the green. Bit of a bit of a Yeah. Bit of a false front there as well. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Green feeds right to left. All right. Well, guys, we hit a great drive here. It’s a little launch pad. Like Gary was saying, we got that up slope. It’s going to go high up in the air. Just lean with the slope here. Don’t fight the slope. Oh no. Oh. Oh boy. What is over there? It’s not good. It might be lucky and go on that path. Maybe there’s a pathway walkway. I fought the slope. Do you want provisional? It’s up to yourself. We got bunkered. And I lowkey kind of wanted to do this at some point. Just chipping it out. Yeah. All right. Perfect. Yep. Thank you. Cut. Go a wee bit and get a nudge. Oh no. That actually might come down. Don’t know if it’s stuck or it came down. Uhoh. You’re not far away. Like just That’s fine. Just no cut. We got to hit a provisional. Um that was really bad. Oh my god. Come on. That’s better. Come on. Be good. Is that going to go in? Get in. Did it go in? No. No way. No, dude. Don’t even go look for your ball. Don’t even look for your ball, Grant. Dude, look for your other ball. That’s okay. Can you go mark that? Saw it hit the pin. No, I had a quite solve. Dude, it hit off the pin, dude. I saw I watched the pin. I’m like, was not great shot. All right, 155. I mean, how do I top that other than my bake it? Oh, come on. Go, baby. Kick off this. Go. Go down. Go in the hole. Oh, no. Dang. Hit it perfect. Just a little short. Freak. Rut row raggy. So, I don’t get a choice right now. Obviously, we hit the pin here, but I found my original ball. So, I have to take it. I cannot use this ball. This is for bogey. Well, not we’re going to use this backboard big time here. Yeah, cuz it’s only way I prefer to be past the flag than short if you know what I mean. And make sure that’s prickly stuff. Just be careful. Yeah. Be careful cuz those are thin trousers. Oh, frick. Don’t get a Oh my gosh. A little thorn in your back. Not good. Little thorn in your box. That’s actually not good. I didn’t realize that was It’s not going to be good. All right, I’m going to have to use the slope over here, guys. But this is not good cuz these are prickly. Mhm. Oh my god. Ow. Okay, we got this. Oh my god. Dreaded course. Oh. Oh, dude. Okay, these pants I’m like sitting on. Dude, that stuff is spiky. [Music] Just just hit it. The quicker you hit. Oh god. The quicker you hit it, the quicker. Oh, yeah. So, all that golf bag there from [Music] Yep. Oh, what a great golf shot. There we go. Puffer par. And that’s some open that’s some open golf right there. That’s golf. Okay. Dude, that was painful. That’s well played, George. Well done. What a shot. Oh, great shot. What a shot. Get in. Oh, good effort. That was a top five shot. Certain pair of hands to do that. Grant, you mind if I tap? Yeah, go ahead. Oh, boy. This is a bold tap once again. Very bold here. Nice work. Good part, man. Your short game is elite. You know that bold tap. That thing did have a lot of break on it. Close to where his ball was there. Right to the right there. So out there to the left. Out down the left. Slightly downhill, but like not grease lightning if you know what I mean. Got a nice roll to it for the par. Oh my gosh. Didn’t hit that authority. Oh, that wasn’t what we’re looking for. Shoot. Pretty straight here. Left center. Okay. Well done. Yeah. Good tap. Hey, good. That’s Hey, all things considered, that’s a great bogey pie, George. Thank you. Work bogey. Yeah. Heck yeah. When you’re in a pot when you’re pot bunkers out here, bogeies are those are good. Good. You take your medicine. Yep. Take the medicine. Move on. Let’s go. Hole number five here at Port Rush. Drivable downhill par4. This hole looks awesome. Finally. Get to see the water. Just don’t go in that bunker. Might be short of it. I think it fell just short and right of it. Yeah. Good ball. Yeah, good line. Oh, George. Oh, Georgie G. Yeah, that’s the line. That’s the line. Good shot. Yeah. Wesley actually might be in the thick stuff. Mhm. Cuz you carried to there. Hold your line. All right. That’s fine. I might might be Sammy or something like that. Yeah. Uhoh. Stay out of the bunker. No. Right there. Yep. Good shot. Come on, baby. Wait. Back of the bird again. Just carried just almost into the fairway. It’s a good shot there. Three solid shots. Not drivable, though, at all. All right, Gary. How would you play this? Would you go low with this shot? I would go prefer to go low here, Grant, to be honest with you. It’s an easier shot, I think. But it’s all personal choice. Whatever you prefer to do yourself. So, if I I can land it short. You can land it short if you wish. Yes. Like it’s 45 to the flag. Green kicks slightly right to left. So favor slightly right of the flag. Would you go high or low with this, Wes? Uh low. I got a 56. I might land it into the hill. Yeah. If you’re going to go 56, I would like back foot it. Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. Okay, we’re going to go right into that slope short. Oh, sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Easy. Easy. Easy. Set. Oh, no. Just pull her. Good shot. came out a little hot. Oh, shoot. I need an uphill pot. Give yourself an uphill pot. Thanks. Oh yeah. What a shot. Nice shot. Stop. I’m becoming one with nature out here today. Sky, look at I mean, flip that camera around. Just look up there. You can come up this way now. Ain’t that beautiful? 58 hand. Land it just over this ridge and kind of let it trundle. Yep. Exactly. Oh, there. Perfect. Be good, baby. Gentle. Gentle. Oh, are you joking? George P. You got sick tricks, George. We can start calling ourselves the pin seekers. Good shot. I’ll tap. Good birdie, J. What do we see here? Just about half a cup from the left, that’s all. Not really much. There’s not as much as you think in this pot. A little slow. Little slow as well. Like play almost flat. It is slightly down, but just play it flat pacewise. Okay. Just started right. Good pop. Thank you. Gosh, just hit it harder and it might go in. What am I doing, dude? Dude, I’ll tell you what. If I really want to have success on the DP World Tour, I’m going to have to start making some more of those. All you haters out there, including myself, that say all I do is miss cuts. Made one. No biggie. Scott, you thought it was a mis cut, didn’t you? 100%. This I mean, come on. Come on. Come on. God. Duffed it. Just duffed it. Oh, no. Oh, get away with it. Derfed it. That’s the last place you want to be. No, they said that’s the last place you want to be. Yep. It’s fine. We’ll figure it out. What’s the worst that could happen? You make like a bogey, double, triple, whatever, and then we move on to the next hole. still have a great time and awesome piece of property with our best buds. Yeah, just chuck it. That’s worst case scenario. Oh, worst case. At best case scenario, you chip it in and have like a sick clip. Wow. That would hurt the body right there, dude. He’s a philosopher now. I I’m telling you, since he got suspended, he’s turned into philosophy. All right. All right. Go. Oh, yeah. That’s way short. Way short. Oh, no. Good shot, Wesley. How far is it? 190 There’s very dead. I go a couple hundred. At least 200. I would go for a grand or a heavy air towards your middle. 193 about trying to land at like 180. Hold your line. Hold your line. Middle. Hey, it’s Grant Horvac going right at another par three flag. Wow. I’m shocked. Good shot. Good shot. Good shot. Middle of the green. Middle of the green. Well done. Middle of the green. How do you How do you hit every iron shot good? How am I two over right now? This is the worst two over of my life. How are you two over? It doesn’t even surprise me. I’m like not even getting excited anymore with Grant hitting it at the flag stick. Sick bench, too. All right, off we go after our grotesque miscalculation. Great spot. Look, I could go up. Shot left the wrong way. Thought it was going left. It’s going right. And it’s short. Yeah, you’re not going to be able to see the hole from down here, Skye. Oh, come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. No, it hit too far. George, what are you saying? George is the worst. It was way left. Wasn’t even close. I mean, you’re right. I look like an idiot run up the hill, but well done. Good birdie. Yes, he’s back on the cut line. Mhm. Thought I thought I early called it though. Yeah. Well done. That’s on me. Great. That was way too suspenseful. Come on. Yeah. W yeah. Great putt. Good job. Well done, George. Up and done. We have three scores right now. Even par. Even par. And I am back on the cut line at one over. You do it. Scoreboard. Oh, the scoreboard. Six holes. No, you do it. Send it, Grant. [Music] [Music] short five. Gary, say what you just said. Gary just said that this is a new hole. This is a new hole that they put in for the 2019 Open. Okay. Okay. So, this is reasonably new compared to the rest of the course. So, this hole is the next hole. Seventh hole of the day on the cut line. Feel the pressure. Yeah. Nothing wrong with that. That felt so good. The fairway. That felt so nice. Nothing wrong with that. Well done. Gosh, golf weird. It is indeed. Yeah, George. Well done. Thanks. Good one. Sick. Yeah. Fairway ball. Thank you. Very good. Heck of a Yeah. Your best drive of the year. Speaking of drives, gentlemen. Well done. Wesley and I just ranked this the number one course so far in the major cut series. But we have Pebble Beach next. But the we’ve you’ve played Pebble, so it’s it’s above Pebble. I mean, look at this. This is This is my This is my number one. It trul Like you have the grand stands. We have a good weather day. We have a course that’s in in major championship condition. Yeah. In Ireland with again with our best with our best buds, taking it all in. Yeah, this is I know. And we’re all kind of playing good, too. So, we’re all happy cuz like if Wesley was playing bad, he would beject Yeah. He would be ejected. He would not even talk. be running up there with the gor trying to do so bad. I’m following your footsteps right now, Grant. I mean, look at him back there. Okay, par five. We’re not getting on for two from here today, Grant. So, we’re going to be more sensible. Okay. And play it up the fairway. Now, just be careful of that lie. Yeah, it’s a jumper, is it? It’s going to jump a bit. I’m standing slightly above the ball as well. I got a loose impediment here. Yeah. Can you get a long iron on that, do you think? What’s your thoughts? Yeah, probably like a sixiron. Yeah, 65 iron. Something like that. And actually comes from that rough. I’d favor slightly more down the right because the club head will just grab as you know coming out of that stuff. Yeah. It’s going to take it left. Right. So sort nearly on that bunker on the right hand side up beside the green. Okay. Okay. All right. Perfect. I got a five. Yep. That’s perfect. Yeah. I like that. Golf is a weird game, guys. I’ve I know I’m swinging good right now, so I’m staying patient. And finally, we had a birdie there, Sky who broke the ice, so now it’s it’s go time now. Oh yeah. Nothing wrong with that. Perfect. Great shot. Good shot. Good length shot. Nice and low. Well played. Oh. Whoa. Whoa. Come on. Oh, came off that hill. Yep. Well played. Lovely. Brilliant strike, George. Yeah, good shot. Thank you. Good shot. Why does he just never hit bad? But it wasn’t super No, he’s really good with his long iron. Like he’s nice. No props. 144 to the flag. Slightly uphill and that wind seems just puffed up in the last half an hour if you know what I mean. So I just playing a lot longer. That went straight into your face here. Probably like 60. Yeah, 160 sounds spot on like that. You think of seven? Seven, I think. Seven. Yeah, a good solid seven I think for you. Woo! My allergies, I’ll tell you that. I cannot get a sneeze counter, this guy. And it’s a cool wind, so don’t be afraid to hit up this. Okay. Okay. Hold your line. Hold your line. Hold your line. Oh yeah. Yep. Good looking shot. Thank you. Down. I think that’s pretty good. Say didn’t turn too much in there. Watch. Hope doesn’t turn too much. But you love the strike. He struck it very well as you say. Do it straight. Well done. It’s good looking shot. Yeah. Yeah. Good shot. That’s really good, George. That’s real nice. Thank you. All right. 120. Let me go with a little chippy niron. That sounded good. It’s good looking shot. Oh. Oh, thumbs up from the goat. Shotwise. So good at golf. What do we see here, Gary? Uh, breaking left to right naturally downhill. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And I said before, I know the rain’s falling, but it is downhill. Maybe slightly downwind. It should release pretty well, I would have thought. Okay. So, a little faster. Yeah, it should be. Just be careful, as I said. Yep. Okay. Here we go, guys. for the birdie. Well, it ain’t short. It’s Grant Horvat putting. He’s not going to leave it short. Oh, good effort. Gosh, he wanted it bad. God, that was a good putt, George. I know. Just a firm. All right. Thank you. Yeah. No one left. I called it. No, dude. Yeah, mine kind of straightened up. Didn’t stop turning. So, makes sense. Very well done. Good hole there, boys. Woo. Keeps me on the cut line. That was That was a little scary there. That putt. I don’t know why. just seeing George and Wesley’s. They hit great putts and they didn’t go in and I was just like a little shook up there. No wind. It’s coming. There it comes back left. The wind right on that. Oh wow. A terrible. Oh no. Oh no. In the bunker. I mean the wind’s off the right. Oh George, it’s 310 to that bunker. You happy with that club, Grant? Yeah. Yeah, I’m so happy with it. Best drive of the day, right? We shouldn’t complain. We’re at a beautiful golf course. Tiger line, but could get away with it. Just been a semi. Yeah, it’s not too bad that stuff there. Okay, we’ll prefer that compared to the one on the bunker. Put that boy. Yeah, partner in between those two. Uh oh. That’s a tough drive. Get right of it. Get right of that bunker. It’s fine. Oh no, dude. How much? You’re short. How short do you hit it now? Oh, now he’s mad at how short I hit it. Wow. George is getting angry. Huh? Wow. Major cut. Por rush. Wesley. First of all, I’m dominating you. Second, I’m longer than you now. What am I angry about? We’re 143 from here. So, let’s say 145. Wind behind. Wow. Could it jump out of there? I think it has. I think it will. It’s a 50°. It’s sort of sitting in a sort of launching pad again, if you know what I mean. Yeah. Yeah. I’m going to hit a 50°. I think a 50. And can you see the number eight at the back of the green? Can I Oh, yeah. I can. Yeah. I have to draw from that line. The wind’s right. I’m going to take a gap wedge. Yeah. And I think it’s going to jump out of here. Enough there with a line. Yep. No. No. I’m lucky. Oh, shoot. That felt awesome. We can still make par. Come on. Come on. N left. Nodes left. Oh go. Yeah, good shot. That’s good. That’s good teamwork. Told Colin told me just inside that bunker. Yeah, that was a good shot. I know that right there. Spin nicely done. Yeah, that was sick. Thank you. Get there, baby. Bye. Whoa. Yeah, she’s grant. How beautiful is that? This goes bounding over. Putter, you would put it. I was going to say it’s up to yourself and certainly up yourself, but it’s a thought now. Do you know what I mean? Like there’s not much green to work with once you get on it. Yeah, putter. I haven’t practiced that a lot. If that’s the case, well, then don’t. Yeah, I feel like we could bump it. Yeah, if you want to bump in the hill, bump in the hill if if you feel more confident that way. Whatever you feel most confident with, if you know what I mean. Yeah. Maybe about a half a foot in the left side. hit it hit it. Oh, just miss. Not bad. It’s just too far away bit, but not bad. Gives you a chance. Go and do a couple of things, you know. But you go a little left early than right at the end. Yeah. Yeah. Fairly straight at her. I don’t think we’ll be far away. Put like left edge then. Yeah. Keep going. Keep going. Nicely done. Thank you. Gee Willers just a wee bit firm. It’s good stroke. Just a wee bit at the end to the left. Yeah, that’s what I see. Yeah, after seeing that putt. Yep. Bang. Well done. To the right. going to say it’s funny. How did that happen? But he will take it. Good porn in the end. Delete that. Please delete that. George. All right. Now you Okay, we’ve got two scores at Ethan. I’m one over. This is a fun little leaderboard right now cuz we’re all so tight together. Sometimes someone will run away with it, but right now we’re all close together. All on the cut line or just one inside. Yeah, there perfecti. Yeah, that’s great. Well done. Good job. Yeah. Tiger line. It’s tiger line, but you might get away with it. Go, go. Oh, he got away with it. He carried it all. Tiger line. That was Yeah, George, you can hit driver there. That was But be prepared for consequences if you miss it. Oh no. Oh no. That’s all Wesley’s line. That’s way left of my line. That might be might. All right. Might have been just held up. What do we have into the ninth hole? We have 140 front, 165 flag. Oo. slightly uphill, but wind’s sort of I think the wind’s helping us a little bit. It’s helping us, I think. And you got a bit of a backboard behind here, if you know what I mean. Yeah. I’m going to go nine iron. Yeah, I think nine iron’s got on. And if you are Can I go right for it? Uh on or slightly left. Okay. Come on. Be good. Oh, give him a we scared. Don’t leave it short, Grant. Oh, great shot. Come down. Come down. Actually, about another few actually closer. Well done. Great call chop. There we go. Thank you. Yeah, I’ll give the pin a Give a scare, Wesley. Huh? Give it a scare. 158. Going to go with a little wee eight iron here. Oh, that’s a we left. Good shot, Wesley. All right, Tom. Tom. He’s going to stay there. Did cut scares. And we left. Oh, whoa, what a divot. The divot that came out of there. What a shot. What was better, the divot or the shot? Cam, that was probably the sickest looking shot. Let’s go. Come on, Scotty. Well, so you’re going to make this one. I’m calling her. There’s no chance. This is the weirdest read of my life. No, but you’ve been Colin’s out here grinding. I’m going to say inside left. Now, you know what? Take it straight at it. I agree. I don’t like that. Bill, you’d be surprised. Straight putt. Okay, so you want to know Colin doesn’t realize how good his first instinct is. His first instinct is it’s going to be right. Yeah. Where are you where you putting it? He told you, right? No, that that was his second instinct. First instinct was left side of the hole. All right, play left side of the hole. We’ll see. Okay, we’ll test his uh his gut. Yep. I pulled I p I pulled that so far out. I pulled that. You can’t count that terrible. His second instinct was right. No. Yeah, it went No. Well, it could have been his second His second instinct was right. No, if you wouldn’t have pulled No, I hit a terrible putt. It didn’t matter if I played it straight. Tap you this far left. If I had played it straight, I would have missed regardless. I pulled it. His But he was right. The second instinct was I’ll tap. I’ll just just He’s going to tap. Make sure you just Colin, that’s on me. I just tried take bigger steps in my line, please. Do some jump. Do some jumping. Oh. Oh, that out. I’m sorry, dude. Don’t get mad at me for tapping. The greens are rock solid and I’ve got tennis shoes on. Basically, trampled down the line again just to prove a point. Spike mark. She got chewed up by spike marks. I don’t even have spikes. Just got chewed up by your spike mark. Oh boy. All right. This got to go just a hair right to left, right? Yeah, it has to. Yeah, you’re definitely going left. No doubt about that. Slightly on the down as well. Like right edge. Right edge is perfect. And slightly downhill. No. Those are three opportunities missed there. We’re not going to get better opportunities than that. So sad. No way, man. That’s painful. Those were three great birdie looks. We all missed. We got even even one over onto the back nine. Here we go. Buckle up. Hole 10. So, par four, dog leg to the right. See the two TV turns? Yep. Just split the difference. Okay. Dog leg to the right. Here we go. Hole 10 on the cut line and you guys are one inside. Wow. That’s a good line. Wow. That’ll get we nod right. Get a we right. We right. Yeah. Grand Horvac probably go slightly more right. But we’ll take that. That just took the speed slope back there. Does that make a line? Said split the TV towers. It’s right at the TV towers now. It’s right at the TV tower. Oh, it doesn’t split it. Just a little bit right. Good shot though. It was at the TV tower. George, I said split them. Not hit them. Split them. split. He said, “Tell him the hard truth, Gary. Let him have it.” He said, “Split him, not Adam.” If obviously, if I knew where I was hitting my golf ball, did anybody think that I would be playing YouTube golfer? The answer is no. That’s a split there. There was He drives. That’s what you’re supposed to do right there. That was a split, Wesley. Well done. So that’s to be fair, Wesley’s drive was good. So that’s between the TV towers there. Wes, we have made it to hole 10 officially on the back nine, boys. Front nine was beautiful. I mean, really, really good designs on the holes. I absolutely loved it. I thought it was fair. Um, oh boy. Yeah, too. We are all getting attacked by something here. There’s allergies, something. It’s the blossoming purple flowers. It’s the whatever. Fescue. Uh, hey, if you’re from Ireland and you know what’s making us sneeze, let us know. Northern. Northern Ireland. Oh boy. That’s a big deal. Northern Ireland. What a wee drive. I just hit Gary. Yeah. Well, it’s in the fairway and we can see the green. So, it can’t be all bad. No, he he’s a straight shooter. He lets you know what’s on his mind. Exactly. It’s a nice way to be. So, 135 front flag. 145. Maybe a pitching wedge. Yeah. Nice pitching wedge. And now between the between your friend and the flag, wind sort of pushing you left to right there. Yep. Perfect. Come on. Be as good as you look. Be as good as you look. Long. Oh man. Is it that go off the green? I can’t see it going right right off. There’s a we swale just left. I can’t see it being off to the back. Wow. Because it’s a long thin greenness. Hey, I’ll tell you that’s the one thing about being over here in Northern Ireland and Ireland. You can hit some good shots and not get rewarded. You just got to know where to land it. That’s the key. 117 just somewhere up over here left side of that little plateau. You see it? Y got nine iron choking up. Going to give a little chop. Oh, that could be great. Oh, go go go go. That should be the right No, that’s got to be great. No. Down. Down. That was all right. That was a sick shot. Wesley hit. I mean, just on the back of the green. Put a birdie. We got one. What? 118. 117. 117 pin. If we play 112 112. It’s a smooth little 54 degree. Be good, baby. Come on. Be good. Come on. That’ll do nicely. That had some nice tour spin, George. Thank you. That’ll do nicely, sir. Thank you, sir. Little right to left. More right, but not much of a set. If you go too far right, she’ll stay right. I see that. Hit a brick wall. Come on. Whoa. No. No. Good putt. Good putt. Gave it the early fist pump, too. See the old hole? The old hole. Yeah, that’s where I’m looking between that and Grarter. All right. I love it. God. Whoa. Whoa. It’s a good putt there. I don’t really think there’s much in this. I was watching your friends put. I wouldn’t give the hole away. Put it that way. Yeah, I agree. Good save. Good puff. Well done, Grantford. Right. Thank you. Oh, thank you. Bye, George. Thank you. All right. On to 11. We’re here on the 11th hole. Par4 470. This is a beast. Number one handicap hole. Okay. Well, here we go. Let’s hit a good T- shot. Get D. Get D. Get down. Oh, bounce. Oh, no. Good. Throw with me. Is that another hole over there? Well, it’s a bit of a There could be a spectator path along there cuz it’s hell of a bounce. Yeah, perfect. Wow. Yeah, great shot. Right down the middle. Thank you. Literally perfect. Just left of that three sign. Mhm. Like down the geometrical center of the fairway. Uh provisional for lost ball. This one’s a Titus two with a black dot. Oh no. My gosh. Oh no. Could have been. Is that in the gor? There’s a waste waste area down there down there. It’s probably down in there. Oh, wasteland. Yeah. Let’s hit one more just in case. No, they said that’s fine. So again, we just take our medicine, get her back in play. Yeah, that’s all we can do here. We stayed in. Wesley stayed in right there. Yeah, we’ve got two hack out. We used to got 230 to the middle of the green, but I said before that lion stance just get her back in play. That’s all we can do. Yeah. Yeah. Good looking shot there. Nice. Good shot. Right down the fairway. up. Good shot. That saved a couple strokes right there for sure. Yeah. Well done. Good shot. Remember there by the way cramp. Well played. There we go. Thanks. All right. 190 into the wind. Kind of cold. Not cold, but just it’s just a fresh little fresh. Yeah. Fresh air against. So we’re going to cut five iron. It’s not going to be troubling. You can commit to that. Yeah. I like this. God, that’s close. Well, that sounded nice. Oh, boy. Oh. Oh, boy. George might be in the worst spot of all the hill. Yeah, distance was perfect. Just kind of hugged it. Good club. Caddy taught me into a good yardage. We have 109 to the pin. Let’s get up and down here for par. Stay on the cut line. This is big. Oh no. Pulled it. Stay there. Stay there. Ah, see a chance just pulled a fraction. Shoot. It was okay for distance. Yeah. Not my best. Darn it, guys. He’s going to literally hold us. I got Oh, too much sauce. That sauce on it. Yeah, that was a lot of sauce. I was just seeing That’s too much sauce. I was just seeing what the green That’s too much sauce. You again, I’m not flying all the way over here not experiencing the countryside and the lay of the land. What when do I get an opportunity to play this back home? You can pick flowers and say, “Hey, Mills, this is for you.” Oh, bad kick. Bit unlucky. Oh, bad kick. It’s a great shot. Might keep flying the whole day regardless, this guy. So, just be careful that at the hole actually goes to the left. I don’t think there’s really much in this. If you’re going to f maybe just left of center. Okay. Slightly on the down. Come on, Grant. Go wiggle left. Good putt. Great effort. How are you outside the cut line now? Yep. What do you see? I’m officially back to two over one outside the cut. Who’s on the cut line? One over. One over. Well, that snaps left. I’m just It’s the hardest hole in the course. It is the hardest hole in the course. And now I am on the cut line as well. One over, one over, two over. Uh my dream of making 18 pars today is officially it’s dashed because you hit a terrible drive. Hold your lane. Hold your lane. Hold your line. Hang. We’ll kick right. If I can weave it light. Oh, it did. It kicked right light over there. Yeah, it’s a good shot. It kicked right. I mean, it’s it’s in the rough. Probably rough, but okay. Good little. Let’s try and rectify our mistakes that we made on the last T- box. Oh no. Oh boy. Oh no. Bones. Bones. Is that where the stuff is that you don’t find the ball? 50/50. Had another. I I think you’ll get another just in case. You’re not the provisionals. They’re wearing me out. Uhoh. I mean, where’s the cut, dude? Mine did the same thing. She’s not cutting. Same line as yours, Grant. I believe. Just Where’s the cut? Oh, no. Same as last hole. That’s fine. Should be okay over there. Look. Oh, short. Oh, that’s great. I should have been doing that one more time. All right. How’s it feel to be on the cut line and you might be I mean, you haven’t lost the ball. You hit a provisional. It could get really hairy for you right now. How like what’s going on inside of your head? First and foremost, I could be on a perfect lie and be able to hit it on the green and still make eagle on this hole. Right. But I’m just the reporter. I’m just reporting the news. Right. The more realistic outcome is that that ball’s lost and I take that one, my second one, and hit that on the green and make par. Okay, so it’s a par eagle situation is what I’m looking at. As most of y’all are aware at this point, Whoop is the sponsor for the major cut. Wait, actually before we go on, look at this Whoop. We have a leather band on this thing. It’s beautiful. Here we go. We’re into We have a second shot into the par five here. We have a decent lie. The problem is when you’re coming down here, look at this guy. See this? It grabs your club and can turn it. So, we got to hit and hope right at the pin, Gary on the flag. Links golf. That’ll work well. It will work. Good shot there. We’ll take a chance for your birdie. Well played. I think that’s going to roll for a while. Hits up pretty well. It’s actually two It’s actually 265 totally. All right. N ir hand. Found the ball. Just going to lay it up there. Have a wedge in. Just go from there. Oh, that was an interesting ball flight. That was weird. I mean, I had a weird light. I just got caught up in this uh stuff. I guess it’ll be okay. Hey, survived. Advance. You should have hit it further over here, George. This is nice. No, I know. That’s what I was saying. Your awful shots get rewarded. Oh sh. Yeah, that worked. Oh wow, that’ll work. Missed it by a foot. I missed by a foot. Bunker. Ah, they’re just short right at the green somewhere. Little chip and pop party. No problem. All right. 151 nine iron. Straight at her. Yep. Absolutely. Be good. Get him. Golly, that is some strong wind up there. Yeah, there’s a fair breeze. She’s fine. Yep. Puff birdie. Yep. Absolutely. Cheers, Patch. Oh, nice. Nice throwing catch. I was just walking it off. I got 53 yards. I wanted to see what the green looked like. I had to go up there and read it. Got a good look at what’s up there on the green. It’s just real vanilla. And that right there is why you walk it off. Oh, it’s just a little short and a little just favor a fraction left there. So the green kicks a bit to the right but not as far left as that clar jug thing if you can see it if you know what I mean. So 48 bit of breeze into your face. I think it’ll sit down pretty quick as well. Okay. 48. 48 but playing more closer to 50 I would have thought. Okay. Oh, come on. Spin. Oh, what? No spin. Bad. Get you a chunk here, birdie. Yeah, just a little too far. Just a bit too firm, but here. Little hot. All right, we got that for birdie. Probably like a 15footer. Oh gosh. I mean, I just pulled and didn’t hit it hard enough, but not bad. Not bad. Not bad. Speed, Carney, guys, we have gotten robbed today on the putting green. Two really hard lip outs. It’s time that one goes in. What do you see here? I have to break a bit to the left. We’ll go half a cup in the right. Okay, breaking to the left. Slightly down, but not much. Oh, I boed it right. Oh, they just don’t fail. It just started out there a hair to the right. Yeah. All right. Tap and par. That’s par. Dad gum it. I cannot make these little birdies out here that they’re they’re just calling your name. It’s like it’s like it’s like they’re taunting you. I didn’t deserve one after that t-ball, but I wanted it. They’re like taunting you. Well done, George. Thank you. All right. What? Wait, wait a second. We’re through hole 12. Can I do it this time, Grant? You do it, George. Take it over, guys. Heading the 13th hole. We just finished 12th, so you know what that means. Three, two, one. Yeah. Yeah. yard. All right, here we go. Skye, we are on the 13th hole, par three. 190 yards to the pin. Dude, you never are taller than me. Oh no. Okay. Probably bunker with a thing. Oh, I thought I hit that good. Just filled up. You got seven, Wesley. I got seven iron. Yep. Keep going. That could be good there. Yep. That worked. working on the shot there. Yeah, Wesley. Silver shot up. Lovely shot. Yeah. Well done. Wow. Thank you. Wow. That was special. That was special. It’s just good intel. That was special, was it? Everything runs away and to the left. Oh yeah, it’s good too. Wind. Keep coming. Oh yeah, nice numbers points. What a kick in. Good shot as well. Yeah, that’s nice, George. Wow, George. What a shot, man. Those are some shots. Some shots. Wait, they clap. They clap softer over here. Water. I’m just being blunt. But here, don’t be Come on. It’s kind of short you can hold very easily. Wait, I’m I’m going to prove you wrong. Okay. You said I can’t stop it. Now my goal is to prove you Wait, is there a lot of sand in here? Well, you don’t know by your feet. It doesn’t look so to be honest. Yeah, it looks a little All right. I might have to carry it more there. Probably the further you carry it might sit down a bit quicker. Yeah. I’m favored slightly right of the flag as well. Everything feeds right to left. Okay. Oh boy. Oh boy. That’s the best you could do probably from there. Everyone running away from us. Gives you a chance for your power. All right. God push. Oh, you going to tap? No. Oh, I need to recollect my thoughts on that one. Yeah. Birdie boy. Here you go. Birdie man. Birdie boy. Birdie man. Birdie man. Western stepping up to break the ice officially. Is this hole 13? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I thought it was lucky number 13. If you haven’t made a birdie all day and you get to the 13th hole, they always go in. Go. Yeah, it will. Yeah. Well done. Come on, baby. Wow. Yes. So, just fall off. It’s every time it’s foolproof. Dang, that was good putt. This is a good putt, Grant. Boy, I’ve caught a lot of edges today. I’ll tell you that folks. That means that means you’re close and you’re due. You’re due. What George? Good. Three. Three. Yeah, I’ll take three. All right, we have got three scores of one over, even three over. Wesley is inside the cut. George is on it. I’m two off of it. I got to grind now. I am playing really nice, but we’re just not scoring. Should cover two night on. Oh yeah, that’s my I’m back. Wow. He’s back. Oh, there’s just That was deep. Look at it go left, too. There’s no fear. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Shot, George. Yeah. Just don’t kick left. Where’s the wind? Sit tight. Oh. Oh, no. Don’t roll down into that bunker. No. Oh, it’s rid of it. Stay. You’re good. Well done. Wait. Does it Does it disappear and roll? Yeah. Yeah, good bird. It rolls down into the bunker. No. All right, we got some work to do. We need to get two birdies coming in here. That’s the goal. Two under through the next little stretch here. Good shot there. Yeah, that’s beautiful. Yeah, good temple there. Well played. Thank you. I’m actually growing out a little bit of a beard for this major cut because I just feel like it’s proper to grow a beard here in Irland. I started growing mine this week, too. Oh, yeah. No, I’m kidding. It’s probably been a couple weeks. I don’t really think I can grow a beard. I think it’s just like it comes in a little funky looking, but we’re trying. At least we’re giving it a go. 150 front, 165 flag. Big false front here. Now, you have to be careful. And then sure this flag is going to roll off. Okay. And back towards us if you know what I mean. All right. I’m going nine iron then. Yeah. Nine iron. Yeah. Don’t be afraid. Yeah. On the far left. A little downwind too. Yeah. Downwind. Go right at it. Uh go maybe slightly right. Not as a yellow sign, but just a fraction right of that flag. It would be great. Okay. Here we go. Right at it. Full nine iron here, guys. Just linked right up. Keep going. Keep going. No, didn’t hit it good. See cut under the window a bit but maybe. Yeah. No, I didn’t hit it good unfortunately. Well, the two evils if you miss it there, you’ve got a chance getting four from there. Yep. It’s all right. Good miss. Which we need to get exactly. Shoot. Got 135 from the fairway. Gap iron in hand. Oh, come on. Back to back. Nice. Be good. Oh, that was nice. That was really good contact. Yeah, I like that. One thing I always do when there’s a wedge in Wesley’s hand, make sure to watch because he he is different with wedges. 132 for me, 50 green hand. Come on. Get there, baby. Sit tight. Sit. Oh, he’s going to get away with it. That’ll do. Yeah, that should be down there. Another putt birdie. We just keep stacking those up. So, where do you think you going to land this close to that ball? Yeah. And it should really The hole that goes that way, but the first bounce might take it a bit to the right. So, I think we’ll just go straight at it from this angle. Yep. I like that. All right, guys. Whatever. Yeah, we’re actually This is a nice angle here. Yeah, nice angle. Straight in. Just go straight at it. Okay, just pitch in for a three. Come on. Nothing to lose. Come on. Oh no. Picked up 92. No, I just Yep. Gosh. Stayed out there. Yeah, that was a good putt. Good putt. Good putt. All right. Par secure. Little right to left. Little right because of the sand. I don’t think it’s moving as much as usual. Yeah. Bang. Oh, baby. Still in the ball. More of that. Hey, that was big. Grind it out. Grant, thank you. Good birdie, Wesley. He’s going to pick it up. No. What? No. How’d you do that? It just I don’t know. It just didn’t cooperate. I mentally made it physically missed it. Still at even par. Hole 15. Apparently this hole is called Scaries and it’s 430 yards of the scariest yards that Northern Ireland has to offer. Be taking it just left that TV tower. Oh yeah. Whoa. That is sick. That connected. So is that where you’re hitting it? Yeah. Where’s the fairway here? Dog leg right to left. Yeah, the yellow post. If you’re just over that yellow post, it’s good. All right, shoot. Oh no, that was scary. That was a scary swing. It’s going to end up in a fine spot though. It’s not. Like I said, it’s fine. Where is that? Just It’s over that bunker. Over that. Bit of rough there. Just line. I got to go at the tower, right, guys? No. Slightly left on that yellow post. Oh, really? Yeah. Wind’s pushing left to right a we bit on that yellow post. Holy, that should be okay. That’s going to be fine. Yeah. Yeah. Just on the see that. Yeah. Yeah. Oh man. Way right on my line. Yeah. I want to say that. But here that’s the one there. That’ll do. You’ll be like, “Oh, I paid it to do that on the first go around.” Don’t even put a tracer on that guy. 63 front. 163 front. What’s it? Is that back bunker? That’s a back bunker. And that’s only five, six yards past the pin. So, if we’re between See the 153, the 153. Yeah. And the pin. Is the short bunker better than the back bunker? The the short bunker is not an easy Well, I’m not an easy up and down. It’s a real pot bunker. Oh, that sounds fun. So, between the 153 and the pin. Yeah. Oh, baby. That’s nicely played. Oh, baby. Straight bites. Oh, sit there. Oh. Whoa. Sit there. No. No. Don’t come back down. No. It’s coming back. Here it comes. Not bad, though. Nine iron. A little tumbling nine. I might want to hit a pitching wedge. Oh no. I I was really going the opposite. Your ball’s going to go so high if you know what I mean. That’s what I think it’s putting me off. He was on a downhill line. Oh yeah, you’re right. Okay. You happy with that? Or you want the eight? No, I’m going to go full. I think Okay. On the 153, it should pull big time to the left. Okay. Have a nine. Going full. It could jump like that. Oh, bye. Get down. Get up. Get up. Go. Bite right there. Stay there. Stay there. Oh. Oh, what a shot. That’s using the luck. Well played. Wow. Mr. Ireland. Oh, Ireland. Mr. Ireland. 120. The misty rain is starting to come in. We got the Irish weather there. There it was. Got gap iron in hand. Quit leaking to the right. All right. job. Great job, Wesley. Thanks. Come on. 54. You’ve done you’ve done me so well over the years. Crushed it. No, just a little just bounced in there. At the hole, it goes a bit left if you know what I mean. Yeah. At the start, it’s quite it might actually be a bit to the right a we dead straight. Yeah. I would still fear maybe just on the right at the very most. Okay, let’s go right forward. And let’s give it a chance. I know you’re downwind, but you’re just a fractional up hill still. You know what I mean? Bit of rain, guys. Here we go. Green slightly dump a wee bit as well. Perfect. Oh my gosh. That went left on me. A little left on me there. Well, maybe next hole. They’re just That’s That’s what we call in the biz. A soft bogey, Wesley. Definitely wasn’t a competitive effort on the putt. Soft, but you know, I got three holes to not be soft. Oh, bang. Yeah, good four. Keeps me at three over. Still a good chance to get back near this cut line at one over, but par three 230 pen into the wind. Uphill. Yeah. 240. Wow. Well, we got 235 uphill into the wind. Hybrid in hand. This is probably not where the birdies are going to come if I Yes, they are. Well, this is where you go to red figures. Maybe you’re right. My goodness. Go in the hole. Whoa. Go get going left day, boys. Yeah, good shot. Yeah, very good. Good shot. Good shot. That might have been the best shot of the day. This is a good solid strike. Keep going. Fine, though. Get up. Oh, no. Get up there. Probably looks. Yeah, that’s all right. This a wee hollow. We grass hollow. Boy, hit that. Nice. If you’re going to mess with us, it’s a place to mess up. Okay, good. Good to hear. Go. Hurry. Stay there. Oh, it stayed. That was just Oh, it stayed on the side of the hill. Yep. It wasn’t a calamity. There’s worse places, George. There’s something about having the grand stands behind you. just makes you feel like it’s more intense than it actually is. It’s like all the people that are watching this on the internet, it’s like they’re in they’re filling up these stands. I know. I feel you guys watching this video. We feel you. We feel your presence. Y’all are literally in the stands right now. And Wesley reads every comment, so he definitely feels you. I need to feel some birdies, man. This has been a My ball’s almost in a bad spot. Oh my gosh. All right, don’t focus on that. Focus on the positives. Gosh, just insane how frustrating golf can be. But you know what? Channel that frustration and just look around and you get happy. All right. I like this spot over here. We got a straightforward chip. Little left to right. Let’s give it a go here. This would be big. Are you kidding me? Yeah. Come on, Wesley. Let’s get a red. Do it for us. Another par three on this back nine and get to red numbers. Oh, it is. It is the moment. Well done. Well done. Wow. Good tape. Oh, that stayed. Pulled up. Ah, shoot. Bad bogey there. That’s a soft bogey, as George would say. Very soft. All right, George. Two more to go. Another birdie chance here. This is 17th called Purgatory. And if you go left, you’re in purgatory. You’ll soon find out why, but we’re not. We’re going down the middle of the fairway. Here we go. Par 4. 409 yards. Two holes to go. Oh, is that purgatory? No, that’s that’s pretty good. It’s left is a fairway probably, but you’re no trouble. Oh, I think that’s pretty good. It’s right at that giant. Saw that. I prefer to be bast a little right of that on your cameraman again. It worked the last time. Aim towards your fellow. Okay. On him. I mean, that’s real close to the target I was hitting at. I’m thrilled. Hold. Hold your line. Hold your line. Hold your line. Yeah. Just hold your line. Straight bounce. Yeah. Shouldn’t be too bad. Yeah. Go straight. That’s fine. I see it. All right. literally see your ball. Okay, hold on. All right, come on. No. Oh no. Oh no. I’m afraid. One toe ball. First toe ball of day. I’ve got a fantastic line on it. Much better. What happened? Much better than last. All right, let’s lock in. We have to lock in here. We’re on the verge of of getting in danger zone and we have to physically get out of the danger zone. Land about I landed like 110. Yeah. If we’re just if we’re just short, it’s good. It’s like being on the green if you know what I mean. Yeah. I want birdie here though, you know. Yeah. No. That’s so unfortunate. Oh, so unfortunate, Skye. just left 88 yards. Now, normally I would try and fly this right to the pin. I’m going to land this way short and hopefully it rolls up to the green. I’m going to bring it in a little lower. Set just flee out of it. Golly, Grant, that almost went in the hole. That was so close. I still reckon you played the right shot. Yeah, came out about half. 82 yards off a severe downs slope in the first cut. Just seeing Grant’s run out a lot. Have to land this short of the green kick. No way. Is that Oh, no. No. No, man. God, good shot. That was, you know, you learn some things about golf course every time you go around it. Now I know that exists. Whatever that was. Haven’t had the opportunity to hit the proper lengths putt from way off the green, but we’ve we’ve have our time now. Do a little right to left or left to right. Just left to right. Yeah, give it I would give it 18 inches in the left. All right, speed it up there. Maybe maybe this is the hole we make on. Get there. Oh, not bad. Yeah, not bad at all. Pretty straight. Yeah, I think just pretty straight at it. Just be careful of the speed round. The hole might make it a quick quicker. You’re sort of flat and then quickly downhill the last 8 ft. That kind of feel to it. Okay, so we’ll just go straight at it. Double break with the wind behind and slightly down at the end. Okay, big lag putt here. Set, set, set, set. Come on. Come on. Hit it. Oh, too hard. Too hard. Oh, way too hard. Oh, to Wesley to take a commanding lead and just get a lot so much breathing room. Oh my goodness. Good birdie. Are you kidding me? Yes, dude. What the [ __ ] Good birdie. Yes, dude. Two under. Oh my god. How does that stay there? Well done, George. Good pot. Good job. That is huge. It’s been It’s been a grind of late. It’s tested me uh my spirits. I could be double my score right now and still have a smile on face. All still in this thing. Tomorrow’s a new day and we got 18 the iconic 18th hole with the grandstands and one of in my opinion the greatest and grandest stages in all of professional golf right here. All right, hole 18 at Royal Port Rush. What an unbelievable start to this major cut. Uh, dog leg right par4. 475 yards. Shiver me timbers right at that green crane. Hang on. Good. Far left. Fine. Oh, wow. That’s great. Yep. Okay, there. Wow. Fairway. That’s more than fine. That’s a beautiful shot. I was thinking I was going to be hopping into the rough and I see those white soldiers over there guarding the left side. That’s flying Wesley. I know. And it might go in the rough and then George is going to say, “How short are you hitting it?” Stay. All right. Just not first. Let’s hear the comment. I mean, you are hitting it really short. Oh my gosh. What’s over there? Probably rough. Should be throw bumpers. 470 yards on that line. You get the green. Mhm. Final walk of the day. We get to see the iconic yellow leaderboard from the open. It’s been such a special day. I love this course. I got to say, Me, too. It’s like one of my This is like in one of my favorite golf courses of all time. Yeah. Like not just Major Cut. we’re talking about. Uh, speaking of yellow scoreboards, I think I see three names up there on it. No, I It’s not blank. Oh, I do see three names. It’s not blank. I actually do see three names. Did they do that for us? No, stop it. I’m not even going to let my mind go there. I I mean, I see three names. Um, I can get confirmation. Our names are on the leaderboard of the now. My name better be on top. I’ll tell you what, the RNA, they have just gone above and beyond. They really have. They’ve outdone. What did What did we do to deserve this? Nothing. Wow. It’s because of you guys. The reason this is all happening is because y’all y’all support again. We thank y’all probably 25 times throughout the videos. We can’t do it enough. Yeah. This is just this is incredible. And Wesley, there’s a chance he could play his way on to having his actual name on that leaderboard, but for me and Grant, probably not really. Probably never. That’s never going to happen. So, the fact that this is a thing. Yeah. Insane. Like George said, to see your name up there, me and George might not ever see that. There’s no mic. There’s I will never see that. Yeah, we’ll probably never see that. Okay. 170 actual dis or 17. What? 170 from here. So, you’re about 175. Okay. Uphill. 175. Uphill into the breeze. Is it going to jump out of there? I don’t think so. To me, it’s sitting up. So, I think it’s going to go quite high in the air. Okay. I’m looking probably 190 or so. And you’re just trying to finish up. You can see the workman up there. Can you see the boys in the orange jacket? Even slightly right of him. I think it’s just going to draw from that lion stance. Boy, 175 pin. Yeah, 175 pin. I’m going to go for an eight iron. I’m going to try and really chop down at it. But I think it should draw up to the left naturally from that stance and lie there. Yep. Oh yeah. Grab my club. Just grab the club and turn about here. We can still make four from down there. Good shot. Good job. Great shot. All right, we got 185. And I’m going to try and end this one with a very, very Northern Irelandesque shot here. Like it. Oh, that’s like it. Whoa. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Go. All right. Just not bad. Right idea, not correct amount of power. Yeah. Wow. What a scene. 184 pin. 184 front. So it’s on the front. Yeah. It is. Yeah. Yeah. Golly. It’ll just be on there. Probably on by five yards. Yeah. Oh yeah. Ain’t much there. Into the slight breeze. Into the slight breeze. 190 shot. He’s a smooth sixiron. Yep. All right, Skye. Oh, no. I was afraid of that bite. Be gentle, baby. Bite. Be gentle. Be gentle. Oh, boy. Well, she’s Yeah, she’s putting Hey, you know what? We got a pirate birdie on the 18th, albeit maybe 150 ft, but put a birdie nonetheless. We have made it close enough to see our names up on the leaderboard. Zoom in on that sky. Wow. And it’s over there, too. And Wes has got a red number beside his neck. Jeez, Wes. I’ll tell you what, dude. Look at you with the red number. It’s tough to see that, George. This is one of the coolest stages to like walk into in all of golf. I I wouldn’t really know. Iconic. I mean, look how big this grand like the giant grandstand here. It’s huge. Thank you. So, come on. Let’s redeem yourself. Your pitching hasn’t been the up to scratch. So, come on. Let’s pitch this in. 30 yards to the flag. Oh, that’s got to go. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go. All right. Okay. See, I just sort of shoved it a bit. I just Yeah, it shot a little right on me. Exactly. cuz it at least it was better played than the the last you picked. Well done. Dang, man. If that was online, it was wasn’t too bad, but went way too far to the right. Very straightforward chip to finish it here. Lob iron in hand, of course. Oh, good job. 69. Wait a second. This is for the 60s. 60. It’s been a minute since we’ve been in the 60s. Wait a second. Wait a second. I’ll tap. When’s the last time we 60s a major cut? Well done. Wow. Great score. Well done. Oh, thank you. Wild. That and that right there, guys, is the closest conditions we’ve ever had in a major. That’s a great score today. I mean, it was it was very getable, but also at the same time kind of tough. Getting hungry. Hungry for birdies. Hungry for a birdie. Hungry for birdie. I mean truly it’s just like I would to be honest I I think it’s just about a foot left just we’re just going to we’re just going to that’s that’s kind of what I thought too. Yeah. Yeah. Just distance. Really concentrate on distance. Come on. Get up there. Just keep going. Not bad, Georgie. Not bad. She was starting to come. Yeah. Oh, we I I pulled a smidge, but yeah, we were right. Mainly you were right. Yeah, breaking to the right. Yeah. Not a ton though. No, not much. You seem to be pulled. I pulled a little bit today. Boy, you wait and you’re tapping. I’ll tap. All right, I will tap. All right. All right. Yep. Boys, that’s a tough one to swallow right there. Bring it in, boys. Should we Should we bring it in? That was special. Nice plan, Grant. We’ll do better tomorrow. Yeah, that wraps it up for day one here at Royal Port Rush. Huge thank you to the open in the RNA once again. I mean, they have our names up on the leaderboard. I’ve never seen anything like it. Cannot wait to watch the major here in literally a week. This this is filmed right before it. So, guys, hopefully you all enjoyed that.
