Joel Dahmen reacts after a strong 68 and explains why it still felt like Justin Rose was in another gear. Dahmen breaks down Rose’s fearless course management, the confidence off the tee, and the shot that made everyone go “OK, you win” — a towering approach to a back-right pin that “you don’t even hit in a practice round.”
Dahmen also shares a brutally honest (and hilarious) outlook on Sunday:
“My only hope is if he doesn’t set his alarm.”
In this interview:
Dahmen’s key moments: birdie on 16, wedge on 18, and a tough divot bogey
