Adam Long’s winning highlights from Desert Classic 2019

Second Coming Out dormant Bermuda to a back left pin under one after making the turn just off and long just looking to pitch this five or six feet on the green let it release out to the hole should move to the left towards the end beautiful touch had a long lengthy birdie putt at the fourth up that little Ridge to the Right Moving [Applause] left never left it David at the fifth now Adam long for birdie don’t disappoint us Adam finally made one let’s make two and try to build on that awesome score he had yesterday six and I’m long from off the green did this but a tap and birdie to get back to even par on the day some positive [Music] vibes birdie he’s got just come long after the lengthy eagle putt this for [Music] birdie good pot stood over it a while but I back over to Adam Long this is his fourth forc the lay up this from just off bit of a mistake going into the green sticks that one in the ground a little bit leaves himself a tricky five-footer moving left to right Adam long started the day at the 10th this to stay at 7 under all right man who was born in New Orleans grew up in St Lewis welcome back to the 17th hole Alcatraz Adam long on the te 168 yards obviously the whole location stays the same for the first three days get a look at this shot with top Tracer technology speed’s good Apex is absolutely perfect just a conservative play but that’s fine so many putts yesterday just par par three not bad making the turn here at 18 Adam long his second look at a this about 20 ft right of the hole and work it back towards the flag stick you’re going to see shot after shot oh wow like that beautiful shot one of the few you see getting online with that Adam long saw a lot of him yesterday really good player eight under on his round he’s 18 under par overall difficult Par 3 15th that’s about as good as you can ask for incredible golf shot right there long for birdie after that beautiful shot yeah really wanting to capitalize after an incredible iron shot on the a difficult Par 3 15th but never got it on nighta at a long get it to 19 under a long putt from across the green yes no pun intended online get that up and down Thea 17 Adam long second he found something David because his last eight worldwide starts back on the web.com tour and the finals and four opening events in the got Lita for birdie pure absolutely pure having some kind of day over at the king to Country Club seen that before long for birdie no should be able to tap that in no problem post a nine underpar round today has never been easy for anybody uh you got to get it done and and he knows that but the experience he has over the course of 25 plus years uh majority of time he’s finished them off sometimes he hasn’t but he knows what it takes long for par what a great save Adam long out of the rough the LI is good though Matt I don’t think this will be a problem with the sand wedge and it’s going to be a little deep I believe and misses the back stop right without uh that coming out of the first cut or the Fairway I should say not able to put the spin on it that’ll is an important putt for long just opening two birdie hanging there at 21 under experience for you mentioned it certainly a learning experience but just taking it all in and enjoying it being in this final group with a legend well sure you’re you’re trying to enjoy it but you’re also trying to uh play well and potentially win a golf tournament there’s definitely something to be learned from it but going out and playing well uh recognizing how you feel in these circumstances under these conditions of trying to win playing with a legend like Phil Mickelson in the final pairing final grouping um lots to be taken from and so far he’s done quite well I mean it’s a potential career changing day Adam long for a 33 well considering everything very impressive nine holes the rookie yeah 31y old rookie bit more than that mhm that 107 number and let it really down there Kurt how about Adam long he caught up in the over seated R he has 114 yards what he CAD is trying to get him to do here is land it well short because of this lie and let it run back to that whole location but I think good enough angle to get it close steady okay been able to get it quite close enough to the hole long from Beyond get it on the green let it roll down to the hole thinking about making it the entire way and this man’s not giv in four under little bit of nerves here on Sunday late and not much in this maybe four-footer get solid putt with that par he will be two back if Adam had didn’t catch much of that KK should be a good number here he’s got exactly 90 yards to the hole which means he’s going to be able to spin it from there he’s got a 59° sand wedge and maybe he flies at 95 but that means he could throw it past the pin and draw it back really a quality golf shot there thre it just past the hole performed well makes one up and in second all by himself now Adam long at the 15th missed the green to the right pretty straightforward pitch needs to get it up and down though but up and in for the birdie that ties him for the lead my goodness just that one hiccup all day and that was at the 14th hole but in couple of eagles excuse me perfect six birdies today let’s two put this in it’s fast past the hole that’s the ridge right there okay he’s got a little bit of work made one cut so far on the PGA tour until this week and you’re going to have a chance to win gny yeah solid putt right in the middle he how about this lie yep that’s the issue try to listen for a second the LIE makes this shot very difficult it is severely below his feet he’s got 174 to the hole he’s got to be very protective of the heel going into the ground first Kurt and turning it over he certainly does but this you know it’s hard to keep it from fading too much cutting too much to the right off this lie what I think he did I did not get a single but I think he went to a six iron that he can take more of a 3/4 swing try to keep the trajectory down a little bit control it boy what a good swing this is and what a golf shot wow are you kidding me tremendous just want to be careful to be decisive and go through your routines not overread it just do what you’ve been doing all day I like where he seems to be aiming 68 in right of the hole for the win wow it is a long shot winner in
