It’s a channeling facts and just you know over Becket now over why would I keep talking about the ninth though? Oh my gosh Bobby E. Come on get all the way downtown. Bang. Longhorns [Applause] to the eighth. Second on the way for Steuart Sink. John Cook. Thank you there Johnny. 222 front 245 hole for Stewart. laid the ball back as he could go through the fairway and that’s a nice shot right in the center of the green coming off a bogey at number seven. So he would love to bag this one. Birdied six, bogeied seven. Wow. Well, the great equalizer, Peter, the one thing that I love about Jerry John and you and I’ve watched and played with him a lot. He’s kind of looking just inside those two balls. Get up a little. You know, Jerry is such an accurate driver. Lagger has a birdie putt here. Yeah. From down in that low up over the slope. I was just going to say, not hard to not hard to judge the read. It’s the speed that’ll get you from that distance. So Burnhard rattles one in. Second birdie of the day. letter at last of the group at 10. [Applause] Two birdies, no bogeies on his outgoing nine holes. This is turning nicely towards the flag stick for birdie to get to red figures. Your old buddy from Belleville, Missouri, not far from here. Man, this guy, he just continues to shoot his age. UNJ came through the PJ tour qualifying school in 1976. [Applause] And I love that golf swing. So simple. And that trademark little move of Yang where his head kind of pivots off the ball on the takeaway. Very distinctive, too. Yeah, that’s his trigger. Yeah. On the same green. It’s amazing. Yeah. Like you said, big breaker from right to left. First part will go uphill. Then once it starts breaking and there again, how about that? Lays the ball up and the only birdie. There might be a little strategy shift. Birdie puck on the way here at 14 for Anel Cabrera. Well, when he won his back-to-back majors earlier this year, we know how good a ball striker is, but when he matches that with his putting lights out wide left on his last par three, the 10th hole, trying to take a way up in the air, moving a little left to right perhaps. That’s a wonderful shot. There goes that. But uh that was a good T- shot right here that just barely missed the fairway. Now from 142 gives him 138 up there. Go little. It does. Wow. What was that quote from Tiger Woods? It doesn’t matter how you win. It just matters that you win. Hit it back at the eighth hole. Hit a wonderful shot. Needs to keep it a little bit left. And beautiful looking shot in the air. I’d say just under the hole. [Applause] Has to be careful with this down this slope moving right to left. Yeah, that’s more like it. Boy, do he need that. Bjorn split the fairway at 17. [Applause] Wow, what a shot. That’s best we’ve seen. That is the best we’ve seen today. Third shot for Leonard. Yeah, nice T- shot or nice nice line to work this moving gently to the left. Kind of like that. Pretty easy. Why not? Got to go, buddy. Oh, this is not a good line. Didn’t have to go very much. From the just off the front edge of the green, goes uphill. Pretty slow putt. [Music] Oh, come on. Go up and down. Looked like a three all the way, didn’t it, guys? The up and down. He made a 10, John. And then that after that T-OT kind of makes you think, wow, this may be my week again. Yeah, why not? Going uphill, moving to his left, keep the speed up, Jerry. These three putting on a show, huh? This is some entertainment and some terrific golf being produced here. They’re thinking, “Hey, are there any hard holes on this golf course? This will go to his left. He’s got some speed to it. What a finish. What a day. Especially the last couple of hours of it. I mean, that was as adventurous a round of 68 as you’ll ever see. We’re at the 10th now with Anel Cabrera. Yeah, this whole location, that back left shelf or excuse me, back right. And uh it’s really easy from down there putting up over that slope. Yeah, it’s really easy. I’m hell. It’s like in second two on his card. Up to 12 and Charlie We downhill par three playing 197 today. Yeah, this is where it starts to get tough here on the back nine at Norwood Hills. Some of the hardest holes on the golf course today starting right here at 12. Although that looked pretty easy. We’ll keep it right here. Stancowski working from the bunker. Much easier. Much easier up the hill. Here’s Atwall’s second now at 11. Has to go 30 ft to the right. Use that slope. That’s pretty good. Slow down underneath the hole. Not bad. It was had a nice lie out of the Zoya part of the rough. Oh, have to keep the pace up. There we go. Well, as Cookie pointed out earlier, he’s got a lot to play for this week. If he can sneak inside the top 10 and squeeze into the field and Sou Falls next week, he’s getting it close. He’s going to take a chance of leaving it. That’s the spot. Well, he came out with a little bit of spin. That left left hand low method works. Sa Keltson was a guy who was on your radar here this week, Peter. Yeah, he was. He has been playing so well since he he won the got his card last fall, but he really didn’t get to start till uh I think it was a senior PGA at Congressional. He was in the mix there. Boy, did he have a crazy back nine yesterday. Shot 34, one under on the back nine with one par. That’s right. He had a bo uh two bogeies and a double. Oh, go in. Oh, and almost a two here today. Wow. Just just four birdies here. It won’t hold its position. So, he’s got to get well close to 130 out of this. Easy right there. Perfect. Beautiful shot. Back with you here at the 18th and Doug Baron looking to close out his Saturday with a birdie. How about it? How about it? Rendevous ribs for everybody. 72 for Doug and that one will be cast away. Alex Chica looking to touch nine under. This would be three straight birdies. Wow. How about this guy? What a move today. 500 power round. Well, he’s an excellent ball striker at the par five for sink. So, Chica just birdied 16 and I’ll hail Cabrera bangs one in right on top of him. So, Cabrera to minus four. The Chica birdie has him at nine under. Cabrera missed the fairway here at 17. Man, downhill type of a stance. Pretty good shot. I don’t know how Cabrera trying to sneak back into the picture here with another birdie at 17. Wow, he’s got it. That’s two in a row. Has a heck of an approach from a difficult lie. Arjent ready to go from 167 yds up the hill. Ball below his feet. Kind of a loose T- shot, but a fine recovery. Wow, that was a hard shot with that ball hanging below his feet on the side of that hill. [Applause] Let’s go to 18 in the final approach shot of the day for Paul Stancowski. [Applause] Great shot. Great shot. Paul Stenco just likes to see everything just gently fall from left to right. That’s a beautiful delivery there. the 18th where up ahead Paul Stancowski [Applause] able to shake one in for birdie. So Stancowski in the house at 8 under through 36. I’ll get back there in a second. Jacob ready to fire. Yeah from 120. Ball sitting down a little bit. Did he hold it? Hit the flag stick. Whoa. What a shots. One more look at what could have been. We’ve already had an albatross today, by the way. Jerry Kelly made a two at the par five second. Okay. He’s been good with this club all year long. Today, it’s been a little bit of a struggle until right there. Birdie number five of the round offsetting the this was just a minute ago up at 14. The second shot of Heath Sloum. There’s a good par4 down the hill. Big sloping green here. Oh. Mhm. He hit it just about 4 ft under the hole. Straight in. Up to 16. Birdie putt for Cameron Percy. First share of the lead here. How about it? How about it? Oh, Cameron Percy from long range. And here’s Chica for birdie. Well, this is slow up the hill again. It’s all about just getting the proper speed. Oh, how about that? Alex Jac not going anywhere. Paul Stancowski after 13 straight pars and after Jaca just hold a long one. Got to be careful of the speed here. coming down turning to the right. There it is. Wow. How about those two putts from Jacob and look for this ball to have a little bit of overspin to it. It doesn’t has some check to it and check to the right. So, he’d be putting uphill. Wow. He didn’t putt like that on the front side. He really struggled. missed a few, but he’s figured it out on the back nine. Back up to the home hole. Percy missed the fairway and just skirted that bunker over there. Yeah, he’s in good shape. Really? Say he caught a jumper. Jump just perfectly. Oh man. Wow. Paul Stancowski had to wait until the 14th hole for his first birdie of the round. It was from long range. just got a chance for another at 16. Look at the break on this. I know we’ve been saying that all week. Is that Can he get there? Yeah. How about How about that? I’m not even sure he saw it go in. He was tapping down the spike mark as that thing. Oh, what a shot. What a shot. Even better than we saw Cameron Percy. I think they like it. Yeah, I’d say so. That’s going to get Jacob to 12 also. And Steuart Zinc back at 17. Oh gosh. Start could have used a few more of those earlier in the day. Sends it way up in the air. Asking for it to bite. I don’t think it needs to bite much. Look like it hit the flag stick. Yeah, it almost bit in the hole. Slightly downhill. [Music] Good finish there for Tim. Yeah, kind of like he had a couple of years ago here. Big smile comes across Tim’s face. 69 on the final day. Finished tied for eighth here two years back towards the center of the green. Great contact, great strike. He’s going to have the same putt he had in regulation. Just four birdies here at the 18th today. Oh, it looks promising. Oh, yes. Wow. He learned. He learned. Cookie. Thomas Bujorn puts the pedal down and drops the hammer. 20 minutes ago and he was not going to waste that opportunity. Well, he knew he was going a little bit more left, didn’t he? He saw earlier about 20 minutes ago when he played here. Dead center. Going to have to match him now. Get in the hole. Very similar putt. It was a bold run at it from Cameron Percy who played brilliantly today. But in the end, Thomas Bejorn is the last man standing in St. Louis, the champion of the Stifel Charity Classic. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a champion. [Applause]
