Great win for Chris Kirk in the first tournament of the year. His tempo allows for so much consistency. He just flushes high draws on repeat. Not to mention his putting… that is what win tourneys…

You know when we back when we played it was all about hitting Fairways and greens basic little wed shot he’s got this turning in from the right looks like it’s about 15 or 20 ft right of it and missed his distance of hair I believe should be no problem here just

Maybe turn it off that bunker or hair they are going back in the wind kind of stuffs it in the ground but it’s a little flat draw out there it’s serviceable first PGA Tour Victory Chris Kirk got his fifth PGA Tour win last week in a dramatic playoff at the Honda Classic is

Second at the 13th nearly holds it out part of a 5 under 67 for Kirk playing to aage of 4.41 and that’s a shade lower than the Par Four the 15th like that one kind of hurt me a little bit it’s been a busy few days Daisy after the victory last

Week Chris’s ball is away he’s posing like it might be a little left CH I can handle that all right Kirk’s got this one started the right edge of the green and it’s kind of staying there it needs a little love just not quite far enough so

It doesn’t get that big kick but that’ll work at the second here’s Chris Kirk for his birdie putt well have a look at this from 32 ft he’s giving this at least 10 foot of break oh red to Perfection what a putt by Chris Kirk

There’s a tree up here kind of in your way and it’s a left right wind and a ditch right but Chris just Center Cuts this I mean no turn at all this suits his little draw you know you can draw it up against it Carl he knows he that was

Pure now Chris Kirk all right Chris got technology provided by track man here this is probably in the bunker or just short yeah flew all the way into that left bunker he should be able to manage that it’s about a half a club shy Chris Kirk has found the greenside

Bunker at the fourth pretty basic for him he’s a magician from the sand he can take this dead center with his little draw and push it up to 250 about 245 250 and he’s done perfectly just a position play level par for the day Kirk back at five just love the pace

The timing of that golf swing balanced every single time and he is stamping out good shot after good shot after good shot back to seven 200 yd par three KK the co leer a little late there trying to save it with the hands this par three is playing under hard

Today there you go that little leg flick of the hands through country first two days ever watching guys hit hit range balls out number six here now for Chris Kirk bunker on the left hand side you really can’t see much of from the te

He’s gone well right of it raw a lot of players have driven it in that bunker today for the the leader to get up there and stripe it right down the right center is pretty impressive yeah as we check out this t- shot there trackman tracing brought to you by Baker Tilly

Chris Kirk Leader by two he was flushing it that same shot one after another on the Range and I said Kirk you didn’t get to the range till about 25 minutes before your tea time he said ah you know kids when I’m hitting it good I don’t want to mess it

Up and when I’m hitting it bad I don’t want to hit balls anyway so not much of a range guy hardly a breeze at all should be able to be pretty aggressive with this maybe just three or four five yds short of the hole you love continuing to hit shots like

That when you have a lead and you’re playing well and your two shots the trace of Chris Kirk’s shot here 162 playing about 150 downhill this is eight iron be the right number I would say it is Chris I’m going give him that one wow what a shot love hitting something up

That left side right now that’s perfect exactly what he did right on the left side of the Fairway I mean he just has not hardly missed a shot today aiming right down the pro walk or as Woody calls it the cadd walk I mean just one after another cuz he just

Hasn’t missed a drive he’s picking that te up when that Ball’s not even to his Apex one after another right on the UPS slope sand wedg left for his next a lot of guys missing just long or like Scotty Sheffer coming up 20 ft short from here

Man it’s a severe UPS slope so I got to think that’s the reason distance look pretty good here based on a 320 yd Drive I think Chris Kirk wants to stay up on top but remember yesterday he in in the junk right he did striped it here and looking

At the leaderboard Woody it looks like a three three horse race at this point so that it kind of takes pressure off of Kirk in the last group he knows who he has to beat coming in yeah and always this is a good looking line just left of

The flag stick I always think when you’re looking back and you’re chasing somebody and see they don’t birdie a birdie hole gives you a little boost of Dr shot by I’m surprised it didn’t roll out a little bit more should be just a little off his 60° wedge I’m I’m

Thinking he’s pitching it right on top of one hop and stop looks like what he’s doing and flying all the way to the hole another Beauty by Kirk set up for a birdie that would get him to 29 under win can knock it down or carry

It oh that was a really good strike just right at the flag stick if it’s the right number how about this oh what a shot how about it maybe the winning shot huh best shot of the day at absolutely the most critical moment to hit it and the stage is clear for Chris

Kirk back in Maui for the first time since 2016 and back in the PGA Tour Winners Circle
