going with that left hand low pitching style that he’s been using and using quite effectively. Wonderful short game. Boy, he pinched that beautifully. Should get all the way down there. This has a chance to go in. Just creases that top edge. I really thought that chance would not much to this. Keep the speed up. Awesome up and down there. This man will just pulverize the par. Only six of 13 greens today for Steven Alker which is very unlike Steven. Hence the even par score Martin like that swing. Gets up on top of that. Perfect. [Applause] That’s from 150 yards. [Applause] and they’re they’re in their 50s and 60s, but they’re still part of that family. I think that’s important. He can do that a lot as well. Best season he’s had out here for sure. See that pin over there in that right hand corner? On a nice line. Oh, go in. Stay up. Kid, good shot. Um, but Monday qualifying four times, that’ll harden you up right away. And he used that to his advantage last week. Ernie connecting from off the green. There’s a much needed birdie at 16 for the big easy. Trying to put it in the right section over on the right. Good T-OT. Tree might have come into play just a little bit. Stay there. Al outer in search of birdie back here at 16. Good putt there. Birdie’s at 14 and 16. The most realistic birdie chance in the group. Somehow he could fight his way back into the red. How about that? Very classy finish for Rajie. 30s at 17 and 18 for an underpar round. Section back there is only about 30 ft deep. So, it’s pretty small. And that’s well done. Yeah. Smashed a drive, then hit a short iron over the back. Now, tricky little pitch shot. He hit a nice pitch shot back there at 15. Another good one. [Music] The hole is 417 yards. He has 97 yards. You can do the math on that. He can still move it. Yeah, left side of the fairway. Perfect angle here. John had does not have to mess with that bunker at all. And there’s a good wedge shot. Great shot, man. Looking for three birdies in a row at the tail end of the day. Hope he didn’t get confused over Jerry Kelly’s putt up right in the center. 332 yd driving distance average today. Tops in the field in it. Tough day for scoring, but Alex Jacob likes it that way. Yeah. Birdie at the fifth and now for Eagle at the seventh. The par five from the right side of the green goes up over a little bit of a slope down the backside. Kaka Eagle pick up at the seven for Jacob. They got him. Jac the leader by one. Charlie Wi trying to keep pace. Pick one up here at the 12. And what would highlights be without a Charlie Wi highlight? Birdie at the par five. Golf course belongs to Alex Jacob, but Bernard Langanger, who’s worn here a couple times, always giving chase. Yeah, they pressed the tea up there at the 11th with that front right pin position. 165 yds today, but no problem for Bernhard. He stuffed one in there on the last hole and tapped in for Birdie. See if he can make it two in a row. Trying to make a furious rally. He had it. He bogeied his first four holes of the day. Three birdies since. This ball’s going to start to work towards right. Might go left on its way up the hill first. Now it should turn right. Just like that. Early number four of the round. Nice little battle for Kenny Tanagawa. [Applause] 195. That’s beautiful. And that’s needs to stay right there. Stay on that proper level. It does. That’s a really good golf shot. Over reading some putts. Two beautiful shots into the par five for Chica. Looking for a second of the day. And he left it right in the throat. Right in the throat. That was It’s a birdie though. He’s going to put the extra point on the board and get to seven under. Dead center. Might have to take advantage of 17. There’s really not many birdie opportunities on this golf course today. Fly it back there. It might run over the back of the green. So, he’s got to kind of chase it up the green. If it gets over that slope, this will be good. Yeah. Really nicely done. Oh, keep your eyes on this one. Take a little glimpse. Charlie Wi with a beautiful delivery into the home hole. But boy, this man loves these conditions right here. Just inside 100 yardds. And that’s another good look. Yep. And he did get a nice preview from Tanagawan’s par putt. What a putt. Takes advantage. What a day. Six underpaw round of 66. That’s about seven shots lower than the field scoring average today. See if he can land it on that top shelf. Keep it from going over the green. does. Brilliant. If you haven’t made any birdies yet, just stake one. Two in a row for Carlson. Still fighting. Yes, sir. The 18th to come. John Cook. Alex Jacob was the overnight leader by three after a bogey at the fourth hole. Alex here at the sixth. It’s an eight under par. He was still three clear, but Ernie Ell is making a run in the final round today. That he is a good birdie opportunity here at the tough 10th. Nice little bounce back. Shaker remains at minus eight. Ernie Ell 166 yds today. Here he came from off the pace on the final day to win 5 years ago. Trying to do it again here. The par five number 12 not reachable in two today but Schwab Cup points leader Miguel Lan Hel Jimenez to cap his week with a birdie from down in the bowl there at 18 and he’s going where has that been 70 on the final day for Miguel who will eclipse the $3 million mark in earnings this season. We’re on the move up to the home hole. Jason Karen with a birdie putt from off the green. Get him into red figures for the week. [Applause] There you go. Important puck projected at 15th in the Schwab Cup standings going in. Coming off that bogey back there at the par five. See if Alex can bounce back with a quality shot. [Applause] He does. Beautiful shot. It’s just past where it would be straight. is for a bounce back birdie. Was that what he needed after that bogey at the par five? Tim O’Neal looking to connect for birdie here at 15. Trying to put his name in the story and he does. Tim will be the defending champion next week in Richmond at the James River course. Kick off the Charles Schwab Cup playoffs. going. I had to play fast to just be able to play with with uh with my dad and and Ken Venturi. So, yeah, like I said, you just take an extra beat. Chief Gusen at 16. Lovely shot. Alers’s in there tight as well. Three. Good opportunity here to go flag hunting. Front left pin. Yep. Well played. Something like that. Just a little more than 200 to the front. So, flags back 30. This ball started left. May not be too bad over there. So, there’s a a lot to go through. Oh. Oh, boy. That creased the hole. That would have slammed the door right there. Really well done. And he just went ahead to get out of Langanger’s way. He didn’t want to wait any longer. Sure sounds like it, John. From one of his hybrids to another one. Cookie, that’s how you win 47 times. You grind on every shot when you’re four over on Sunday. Absolutely. You just wouldn’t expect anything else from Burnhard Langanger. That must have been a bit of a misit. promptly at 13. Gave one back at 15 did Chica, then just birdied 17. So, it’s been very steady and no one has caught him today. Up ahead here at the 18th, Robert Carlson having just birdied 17. Yeah. How about one more? Even par 72 for the sweep makes his home in Charlotte and his pretty much eliminates the big number. It just didn’t jump at all. It’s a fine play. Yeah, that should be fine. Um it didn’t take him long uh you know to win there at the regions for his first win. He’s sort of the European version of the guy that won here last year. How about this? Oh goodness. Why not? Why not? He had three putts available to him if he needed them. But why use business? Well, you can only burn one. Happy for Alex. He is a He’s a wonderful guy. Very solid player. Like I said, he he has touched the lead and touched the trophy a lot this this uh season. just hasn’t broken through until right here. He withstood the elements. He outlasted the competition. He held off the chasers. And he slammed the door shut at 18. And Jacob is the champion. [Applause] Great shot here. Took forever to get up there. I mean, it just went in with perfect speed. What a feeling at 66 yesterday was marvelous. It was seven shots lower than the field average on Saturday. Anything under par today was highly productive. How about birdies at 17 and 18 to lock it down for 71.
