STRAITED BY HE COULD BE THE BEST GOLFER IN THE WORLD. ROUNDS OF 67 AND 68 HAVE HIM POISED TO POUNCE. AND HIS BRAND-NEW TEAM LEGION XII ARE SEEKING GLORY AS WELL. JOAQO NIEMANN IS STILL THE FAVORITE AND HIS TORQUE GC ARE IN POLE POSITION. ALL FOUR SCORES COUNT IN A WILD TEAM SHOOTOUT.
WE ARE MOMENTS AWAY FROM OUR SHOTGUN START. HELLO, EVERYBODY, FROM ARLO WHITE, ARE JERRY FOLTZ AND DAVID FEHERTY LIVE IN THE LIV BROADCAST STUDIO HERE. JUST BY THE CARE PIE AN SEA IT WILL BE A CHILD CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY. 51 OF THE 54 PLAYERS WILL TEE IT OFF SHORTLY NOW SHOTGUN START
AND OUR LEAD GROUP TEE OFF A FEW MOMENTS AFTER THAT. ALL FOUR SCORES COUNTING TODAY IN THE TEAM COMPETITION, BUT JERRY, WE HAVE TO GET TO THE HUGE NEWS OVERNIGHT. JOAQO NIEMANN WITH THAT SCINTILLATING 59 ON FRIDAY. WENT TO SLEEP THINKING HE HAD A FOUR-SHOT LEAD. THAT’S ONLY TWO, TALK US THROUGH
WHAT HAPPENED. >> Jerry: HE TOOK AN INCORRECT DROP FROM AN OBSTRUCTION, HE TAKES RELIEF FROM THE PENALTY AREA, IT’S A REDLINE YOU GET TWO CLUB LENGTHS THAT’S STANDARD PROCEDURE, EVERYBODY KNOWS IT. IT’S UNFORTUNATE YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE TWO PHASES HE’S NOT GOING TO PLAY PLAY AT THIS OFF THAT.
HE DOES IT, DROPS IT TWICE, HE PLACES IT, THAT’S THE PROCEDURE. THEN HE’S NOW TAKING RELIEF FROM THE OBJECT STRUCK THE CART PATH. OF WHICH YOU GET NEAREST POINT OF RELIEF, FULL RELIEF AND ONE CLUB LENGTH. IT’S BEEN THAT WAY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME. HE TOOK TWO. HE WAS MISTAKEN.
NOBODY ELSE NOTICED IT AT THE TIME. HE DROPPED IT, AND PLAYED IT HE DIDN’T CALL FOR RULES SO IF YOU RECALL. WHICH WOULD HAVE CORRECTED IT. NOBODY STOPPED HIM. RULES OFFICIALS SAW IT. ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF COMMITTEE SAW IT ON THE REPLAY AT NIGHT AND CALLED HIM IN AND SAID THIS HAPPENED.
AND HE DIDN’T DENY IT. >> David: WELL, OF COURSE OF COURSE NOT. NO MALICE OF FORE THOUGHT HE JUST FADED FOUGHT A MOMENT. WE SAW HIM DROP IT ALMOST WENT WITHIN THE ONE CLUB LENGTH ACCIDENTALLY WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN NO PENALTY. BUT THAT TWO SHOTS. I THINK IT’S A BENEFIT TO HIM
THAT HE DIDN’T GET THE TWO SHOTS RIGHT THEN AND THERE. BECAUSE HE WAS LEADING BY 4. THAT WOULD HAVE DROPPED HIM TO . STILL, YOU KNOW, THE WAY IT HAPPENED, HE HAD THE TIME TO SETTLE HIMSELF DOWN AND WILL BE FIRED UP. >> Arlo: IT BRINGS A LOT OF
OTHER PLAYERS INTO THE EQUATION TODAY, MAYBE A DUSTIN JOHNSON IF HE GOES SUPER LOW. JON RAHM IS BREATHING DOWN HIS NECK AS WELL IT WILL BE A FASCINATING SUNDAY. BROOKS KOEPKA IS THE FIRST TO TEE IT OFF IN THIS GROUP, 69 AND 68 ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
HE IS 5 UNDER PAR AND, OF COURSE, TORQUE HAVE BEEN PENALIZED TWO STOCKS AS WELL, SO WHAT WAS A FAVE-SHOT LEAD IS ONLY 3. AND IT WILL BE POLL VOLUME TILE TODAY WITH FOUR SCORES COUNTING FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. THERE IS NOWHERE TO HIDE. >> Jerry: ALL THREE MEMBERS OF
THE GROUP INCLUDING TWO MAJOR CHAMPIONS KNEW THEY WOULD NEED HELP FROM JOACO TO HAVE A REALISTIC CHANCE TO WIN THEY UNEXPECTEDLY GOT IT OVERNIGHT. EVENING THOUGH THEY KNOW IT WILL MOTIVATE HIM THEY WILL BE EXTRA FOCUSED STARTING. >> Arlo: LET’S TAKE TO YOU THE SECOND TEE AND DUSTIN JOHNSON,
HE STARTS CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY ON FOUR UNDER. IN THE 4ACES, HE IS THE CAPTAIN, HE HAS WORK TO DO TODAY. >> David: WE’LL SEE A LOT OF FAIRWAY WOODS, HYBRIDS OFF THE TEES TODAY. THE WIND IS BLOWING BUT NOT AS STRONG AS YESTERDAY AND FROM A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DIRECTION,
LOW SCORING, AS WE WATCH CHARLES HOWELL. LOW SCORING IS DEFINITELY ON THE CARDS. >> Arlo: HE HAS EXPERIENCE OF LOW SCORES ON THE FINAL DAY, CHARLES HOWELL, III A 63 IN ROUND THREE HERE LAST YEAR. AND HE WON THE TOURNAMENT BY FOUR STROKES. SERGIO GARCIA A BIT OF A ROLL
ARE COASTER ROUND FOR SERGIO YESTERDAY. BUT HE IS RIGHT THERE IN THE MIX ON 7 UNDER PAR, TEEING OFF AT THE FIRST. >> Jerry: A LITTLE AMAZING STAT THROUGH TWO ROUNDS DAVID. SERGIO GETS IN CONTENTION AND IT DONE WITH HIS INCREDIBLE CALL STRIKING INCREDIBLE GAME BUT NOT NECESSARILY WITH THE PUTTER,
OVERALL SHORT GAME STAT HE’S LEADING THE FIELD. >> David: YEAH. >> Jerry: THAT WAS TWO MISSED SHORT PUTTS YESTERDAY TOO. >> David: YEAH, HE HAD A RALLY STRANGE DAY YESTERDAY. >> Arlo: LET’S TAKE YOU NOW TO THE FOURTH TEE AND THE RIPPER GC CAPTAIN, CAM SMITH. WELL, TALK ABOUT CONTRASTS, 59
ON FRIDAY FOR THIS MAN, JOAQO NIEMANN AND A TWO-STROKE PENALTY ON SATURDAY. HIS LEAD IS TWO. MUCH MORE DISCUSSIONS TO COME ABOUT THE RAMIFICATIONS OF HIS TWO-FOLK STROKE PENALTY WHEN WE ON HIM BACK AND THE MAN HIMSELF WILL TEE O ON BIGGEST DAY, PERHAPS, OF HIS ENTIRE CAREER.
♪ MUSIC PLAYING ♪ >> Jerry: THE FORECAST FOR THE WIND TO DAIS THEY NEAR THE END OF ROUND. 16, SEVEN TEAM, 18 MIGHT NOT PLAY DO YOU UNDERSTAND WIND AND TOMORROW IT WILL BLOW 36 FROM THE WEST WHICH WILL MAKE SOME OF THESE HOLES IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY. >> David: OH, WOW.
>> David: LET’S HOPE WE DON’T GET A WEATHER DELAY. >> Jerry: THERE HAVE BEEN WEATHER DELAYS BUT THAT WAS BACK BEFORE THEY HAD THE RADARS WERE UNIVERSAL BETWEEN COUNTRIES AND ALL THAT WEATHER TECHNOLOGY, 11 OF THE RULE OWES VISUALS WOULD STAND ON THE BEACH AND HE WOULD DETERMINE WHEN THEY STOP PLAY,
JOHN BRINDLE. NEVER FORGET IT. >> Arlo: THIS IS THE FOURTH GREEN, CAMERON TRINGALE OF THE HYFLYERS HAS HIS SECOND SHOT. HE BEGINS THE DAY 3 UNDER PAR. SOLID WEEK SO FAR, 69 ON FRIDAY. A 1 UNDER PAR 17 YESTERDAY. FOR CAMERON. BUT THE HYFLYERS ARE DOWN IN 12th PLACE ON 1 OVER PAR.
A LOT OF WORK DO. BUT, AGAIN, IT COULD BE VOLATILE TODAY WITH ALL FOUR SCORES COUNTING. PREVIOUSLY HE WAS ONLY 3. — PREVIOUSLY IT WAS ONLY THREE. >> Arlo: SO CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY IS UNDERWAY HERE IN MAYAKOBA. ARLO WHITE, JERRY FOLTZ AND DAVID FEHERTY WITH YOU. OUR LEADER JOAQO NIEMANN, JON
RAHM AND DEAN SPECIALSTER WILL TEE OFF SHORTLY. THE OTHER 51 PLAYERS ARE ALREADY OUT ON THE COURSE. I GUESS NOW IT’S ABOUT THE PSYCHOLOGICAL STRENGTH OF JOAQO NIEMANN WHO WE WANT TO BED LAST NIGHT WITH THE FOUR-STROKE LEAD. HE HAS TO HAVE THAT DUSTIN JOHNSON SHORT MEMORY, DAVID, I
GUESS TO START FROM SCRATCH AGAIN TODAY. >> David: HE’S AN EXPERIENCED ENOUGH PLAYER TO GO OUT AND STAY IN THE PRESS, STAY IN THE HERE AND NOW, HE WAS IN THE ZONE IN THAT 59, THAT’S WHAT THE ZONE IS, THERE IS NO FUTURE, THERE IS NO PAST, YOU ARE RIGHT HERE,
RIGHT NOW, PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING. AND THAT GO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. >> Arlo: YOU SPOKE EARLIER TO THE DIRECTOR OF RULES AND COMPETITION FOR THE LIV GOLF LEAGUE HERE AND HE SAID THAT JOAQO TOOK THE NEWS WELL. >> Jerry: HE LOOKED AT IT AND
SAID, YOU KNOW, MY BAD. MY MISTAKE, THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT. THEY HAD NOTIFIED HIS AGENT AND THEN BROUGHT HIM AFTER HIS WORK OUT AND HE LOOK AHEAD IT THE AND SAID YOU ARE RIGHT. NO BIG DEAL. BRAD MADE IS SOUND LIKE NO BIG DEAL.
HE THAT IS LATIN FIRE, THE WHOLE TEAM DOES, HE WILL BE EVEN MORE MOTIVATED AS GREG NORMAN GIFTS HIM A GOOD LUCK HUG ON THE FIRST TEE. >> Arlo: IT CERTAINLY MAKES THINGS A LOT MORE INTERESTING, DOESN’T IT? FOR THE NEUTRALS WATCHING AT HOME. WHAT WAS A FOUR-STROKE LEAD IS ONLY TWO.
JON RAHM IS POISED TO POUNCE, DAVID, ISN’T HE TODAY IN HIS FIRST LIV GOLF EVENT? >> David: HE IS. PLAYERS DOWN TO LIKE BROOKS KOEPKA, I THINK IF YOU ARE 6 BACK, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE IT IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU SHOOT LOW YOU MAY HAVE A CHANCE.
>> Jerry: ABSOLUTELY. IT BRINGS THE WHOLE SECOND PEN PENULTIMATE GROUP INTO PLAY. I DON’T THINK THEY HAD A CHANCE WITHOUT JOACO BACK PEDALING TODAY AND NOW HE WILL BE EXTRA FOCUSED AS ARE THE OTHER COMPETITORS AND WILL MAKE THE TEAM COMPOSITION SO TIGHT. IT WILL BE REALLY, REALLY FUN TO FOLLOW.
>> Arlo: SPEAKING OF THE TEAM COMPETITION, TORQUE GC THEY SAY JOACO GOT A TWO-STROKE PENALTY, EXTRA WORK FOR THE TORQUE TROOPS NO PROBLEM, LET’S GO TORQUE. LET’S FIND OUT WHAT TO WATCH FOR HERE ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY FROM OUR ON-COURSE ANALYSTS SU-ANN WE’LL START WITH YOU, YOU WILL BE FOLLOWING JOACO TODAY, WHAT
ARE THE HEADLINES FOR YOU? >> Su-Ann: THAT CERTAINLY WASN’T THE WAY JOACO EXPECTED TO START OFF HIS CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY. SO HOW IS HE HANDLING IT? WELL, I CAUGHT UP WITH HIS BROTHER LUCAS AS WELL AS HIS CADDY GARY, EARLIER ON THE PUTTING GREEN, THEY SAID HE IS TOTALLY FINE.
HE WATCHED THE VIDEO, HE ACCEPTED IT. HE SAID, YOU KNOW, THAT’S GOLF. YOU JUST GOTTA MOVE ON. HE’S FOCUSED ON TODAY AND WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO. HE’S BEEN VERY PROCESS ORIENTED AND IT’S NOT GOING TO BE ANY DIFFERENT TODAY. AND, OH, BY THE WAY, THAT GOT TORQUE A LITTLE MORE MOTIVATED
FOR TODAY. >> Dom: JON RAHM HAS 18 INDIVIDUAL WORLDWIDE WINS AND HE HAS COME FROM BEHIND IN NINE OF THEM. SO VERY COMFORTABLE IN THIS POSITION. HIS BALL STRIKE THIS IS WEEK, GREAT. NUMBER ONE IN GREENS AND REGULATION, HIS PUTTING, NOT SO GOOD. IF HE’S GOING GET THE “W” TODAY,
HE’S GOTTA HEAT UP THAT PUTTER. >> Arlo: THANK YOU, GUYS, LOTS MORE TO COME, OF COURSE, FROM SU-ANN AND DOM BOULET AS THE LEADERS TEE OFF. BUT THIS IS DUSTIN JOHNSON WITH HIS SECOND SHOT AT THE SECOND. >> David: HE LIKES IT. >> Arlo: CAM SMITH, 69 ON FRIDAY, 70 YESTERDAY.
STARTS THE DAY THROUGH UNDER PAR, AND THIS IS FOR BIRDIE AT 4. >> Jerry: IF YOU WANT TO START ON THE LEAST INTIMIDATING SHOT ON THE ENTIRE GOLF COURSE, YOU ARE HAPPY TO BE START ON THIS 4th HOLE. SHORT LITTLE PAR 3, NOT EASY BUT HE MADE IT LOOK THAT WAY.
>> Arlo: BROOKS KOEPKA HIS SECOND AT ONE. HIS SMASH GC LOOKING FOR AT LEAST A PODIUM FINISH. THEY ARE 9 UNDER PAR IN THIRD PLACE, 4 BACK OF FORTE. BIG DAY FOR TYRRELL HATTON AND LEGION 13. THEY ARE THREE SHOTS BACK, LOOKING TO TAKE THE TITLE IN THEIR INAUGURAL EVENT IN LIV
GOLF, OUR EXPANSION TEAM. FINE START TO CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY FOR TYRRELL HATTON. ALL SCORES COUNT SAY LEGION XIIIGC ON “X”, LEAVE IT ALL ON THE TABLE. YOU MADE A POINT EARLIER, JERRY FOR SOMEONE LIKE KIERAN VINCENT PLAYING HIS FIRST COMPETITION, THERE IS NOWHERE TO HIDE FOR ANY OF THESE GUYS TODAY.
>> Jerry: NO AND AS A PROVEN PRO, YOU DON’T WANT TO BE THE REASON JON RAHM YOUR CAPTAIN, DOESN’T GET THAT FIRST LEGION XIII TEAM WIN AND KIERAN DOESN’T HIS HIS BEST STUFF. CALEB IS PLAYING WELL, KIERAN DOESN’T. HE WILL BE FEELING THE MOST PRESSURE OF ANY TEAM MEMBER, HITS INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE WILL
NOT REALLY AFFECT HIS INDIVIDUAL FINISH AND RANKINGS MUCH. THE TEAM PERFORMANCE IS HUGE FOR KIERAN. >> Arlo: DOM BOULET WILL BE CALLING JON RAHM’S SHOTS TODAY, SU-ANN IS FOLLOWING JOACO AND DEAN BURMESTER. ALL THREE LOOKING TOKING FOR A FIRST LIV GOLF TITLE. GREG NORMAN WILL GIVE HIS INSIGHTS OUT ON THE COURSE AS

I TOOK A LOOK AT HIS LIE, HE’S IN THE SAND, A BIT OF GRASS AHEAD OF HIM. NO TREE TROUBLE, THOUGH. >> David: HE HIT EXACTLY THE SAME TEE SHOT YESTERDAY AND MADE A FANTASTIC 4, HOLED A BEAUTIFUL PUTT. >> Jerry: WHERE THAT IS LYING THE BALL IS NOT GOING TO COME IN

THESE GUYS NOW FOR A HOLE AND A HALF, DO YOU SEE ANYTHING IN THEIR DEMEANOR OR BODY LANGUAGE? >> NO. NOTHING YET, DOM. I THINK JON LOOKS THE QUINTESSENTIAL PROFESSIONAL RIGHT NOW. HE’S VERY CHILL, VERY RELAXED. ONE THING DID I NOTICE ON THE DRIVING RANGE, WATCHING THEM HIT BALLS IS JON WAS HITTING
DIFFERENT FLIGHTED SHOTS WITH HIS DRIVER, WITH HIS 7 IRON. JOACO WAS JUST HITTING THE SAME SHOT. SHOT AFTER SHOT. >> Dom: THIS ONE IS PRETTY HIGH. THAT’S COME UP WELL SHORTLY. KIND OF BALLOONED UP THERE. >> Su-Ann: GREG, IT’S INTERESTING YOU SAID THAT. >> 32 IS GOING TO IT TUMBLE OF HERE.
THAT WIND CAME BACK AT HIM. DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU GOT SOME JUMP? >> YEAH. I JUST DON’T FEEL THE OTHER ONE. IT’S 130. >> NO, I DON’T BELIEVE SO. >> THERE IS NO WIND. >> DON’T YOU THINK EVEN IF YOU HIT IT A BIT HIGH, DON’T YOU

WITH THE DRIVER. THAT DRIVING IRON THAT HE PUT IN HIS BAG. BUT NOW JOACO HIS BALL IS HITTING DOWN, PROBABLY PLAYING FOR A FAIRLY BIG BOUNCE, THE HOLE LOCATION ALL THE WAY AT THE BACK TODAY. >> David: BEAUTIFULLY JUDGED. RUN TO THE BACK EDGE. THAT LIE. >> Arlo: SERGIO HIS SHE COULD
SHOT AT THREE. >> Jerry: SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON, DAVID WORK THAT FINAL, WITH LEADERS PAIRING. IT SEEMS JUST TO MY, I DON’T KNOW, PERCEPTION HERE, THAT JOACO IS A LITTLE COLD WE ARE GARY, WITH ANIMAL, THAN NORMAL. THEN YOU KNOW THE CADDY FEELS A LITTLE BIT OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THAT PENALTY AS WELL. >> David: OH, YEAH, GARY WILL BE KICKING HIMSELF THAT HE DIDN’T PICK UP ON IT AS WELL THINK IT’S NOT HIS RESPONSIBILITY RESULT MAIL HAD. >> Jerry: NOT ULTIMATELY, RIGHTFULLY WONDER IF JOAQO IS — THAT’S CROSSING JOACO’S MIND AT AL. LIKE YOU COULD HAVE STOPPED ME.
>> Arlo: PEREIRA HAS A ROLE TO PLAY FOR TORQUE TODAY, HASN’T FOUND HIS BEST FORM SO FAR THIS WEEK, 73 ON FRIDAY, 74 YESTERDAY. AND HE’S 1 OVER FOR HIS ROUND SO FAR. >> BUT HIS SCORE, OF COURSE, WILL COUNT TODAY, SO HIS TEAM NEED HIM. >> Jerry: KOEPKA’S SECOND AT THREE.

WILL PLAY THOSE DIFFICULT OPENING HOLES, ONE, TWO, AND THREE WITH A LOT LESS WIND THAN THE LEADERS. SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON LATE IF HE GETS IT 3, 4, 5 UNDER PAR FOR THE DAY APPROACH THAT GO POINT. >> Arlo: A BEAUTIFUL AERIAL STRAW OF THE SECOND DEAN AT EL
CAMALEÓN AT MAYAKOBA, MEXICO AND JOHN RAHM IS FIRST. >> Dom: WE SAW HOW HE STRUGGLED WITH THE PACE OF HIS LONG PUTTS YESTERDAY. THIS ONE WILL TEST HIM. IT’S PRETTY SLOW UP HILL FOR THE FIRST 30 FEED OR SO THE LAST 15, 20 FEET IT ALL RUN AS WAY FROM HIM.
>> Dom: YOU WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS JUST RUN UP — NESTLE UP NEXT TO THE HOLE. THE PACE IS GOOD. A LITTLE WIDE. >> Arlo: START THEM YOUNG. HE’S READY FOR THE LIV GOLF LEAGUE MAYAKOBA. CHEERING FOR LEGION XIII AND JOHN RAHM. FABULOUS. >> Jerry: BIG BENDER HERE FOR

>> David: THE THIRD TEE, YOU CAN SEE HOW IT NARROWS DOWN IN THE DRIVING AREA, DRIVING IT UP SHORT OF THE WATER. KIND OF A KID ANY-SHAPED GREEN RAISED UP YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS LEFT, LONG OR ANYWHERE, REALLY FAR AVERAGING 4.21 AT ONLY 389 YARDS. THAT’S A TRICKY HOLE GREG DID
THAT ON PURPOSE I TALKED TO HIM YESTERDAY ABOUT THE DESIGN. ENTIRE ROUTING OF THE COURSE. >> David: I THINK THE 17th MIGHT BE THE BEST HOLE ON THE GOLF COURSE. >> Jerry: YEAH. >> David: AND IT’S ONLY 386 YARDS. IT’S JUST A TREASURE OF A HOLE. >> Dom: LOOKS LIKE HE HAS THE
BIG STICK. DIDN’T HIT THIS CLUB YESTERDAY. BUT IS PLAYING STRAIGHT INTO THE WIND, ALTHOUGH THE WIND CAN’TING PLAYING MORE THAN FIVE, SIX MILES AN HOUR RIGHT NOW. >> Jerry: HUGE DISCREPANCY IN SCORING WHETHER YOU ARE IN THE FAIRWAY OR NOT ON THIS HOLE. MUCH MORE SO THAN MANY OF THE OTHERS.
>> YEAH, DOM, THIS WAS A PERFECT CLUB FOR JOHN. >> Dom: BECAUSE IT’S ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FAIRWAY, NOT SO. >> David: CAMERON SMITH BIRDIE AT 6 JUST A MOMENT AGO. >> Arlo: CAM SMITH STARTED BIRDIE, BIRDIE, BIRDIE, DIDN’T HE ONCE GO A ROUND 60 FOR IN THE
FINAL ROUND OF ST. ANDREWS TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP. >> Jerry: THAT’S WHAT I HEARD. NOW DEAN BURMESTER. >> Su-Ann: DROUGHT STRAIT INTO THE WIND AS DOM MENTIONED, DRIVING IRON, SAW HIM HIT A FEW STINGERS ON THE DRIVING RANGE WITH THIS CLUB. >> David: THAT IS AN EXPERT’S WEAPON RIGHT THERE.
16-DEGREE 1 IRON, IF YOU DON’T PLAY WELL, YOU DON’T NEED TO BE HITTING THIS. BEAUTIFUL SHOT. >> Su-Ann: NOW JOAQUIN 3 WOOD. DID THE SAME THING AT THE GYM THIS MORNING. STRENGTH WORK. TRY AND KEEP THAT STRENGTH UP DURING THE SEASON. INSTEAD OF TRYING IT MAKE UP GROUND IN THE OFFSEASON.

EACH WEEK. AND ADD UP ACROSS THE SEASON. >> BROOKS KOEPKA. >> FINISHING AT OR NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE STANDINGS MEANS RELEGATION OUT OF THE LIV GOLF LEAGUE. IN THE TEAM COMPETITION, THIS IS WHERE THINGS REALLY HEAT UP. FOR THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS THE TOP THREE SCORES COUNT TOWARDS THE TEAM SCORE.

IS A HUGE MISS ON THE DOGLEG LEFT, DAVID. >> David: THAT IS IN THE JUNGLE. >> Arlo: BROOKS FOR BIRDIE AT 4. THIS IS JUST MOMENTS AGO. >> Jerry: BROOKS NOT ABLE TO GET SOMETHING GOING EARLY. OH, MY. >> David: THAT IS JOAQUIN NIEMANN’S BALL. MAN. WELL, IT’S ABOUT AS PLAYABLE
FROM THERE AS IT WOULD BE FROM THE GROUND. >> Jerry: LEFT-HANDED BASEBALL SWING, NO. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. >> David: NO, YOU COULD HIT IT WITH YOUR FOREHEAD MAYBE. >> Arlo: WELL TORQUE THE GREEN OF 4 AND SERGIO GARCIA FOR BIRDIE. HE’S ONLY 3 SHOTS BACK OF JOAQO NIEMANN.
WHO, AS WE HAVE JUST SEEN, HAS FOUND TROUBLE ON THE THIRD. >> Jerry: HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON WITH SERGIO WHEN AND NEAR CONTENTION THE SPEED OF THE PUTTS TO GET THERE WITH SOME SORT OF CONVICTION IF SO I REALLY LIKE HIS CHANCES.
IF THEY LIMP TO THE HOLE IT MAKES IT SO DIFFICULT FOR THAT BALL TO STAY ONLINE. THAT WAS NOT A BAD PUTT. >> David: NOW WE HAVE A SIMILAR SITUATION HERE THAT COST HIM A COUPLE OF SHOTS OVERNIGHT. SO HE WILL PLACE THE BALL WHERE IT LAST — FIRST TOUCHED THE
CARD PATH AND NOW HE WILL TAKE RELIEF FROM THE CARD PATH WHERE HE WILL GET ONE CLUB LENGTH. FROM HIS NEAREST POINT OF RELIEF NOT NEAR THE BALL. >> Jerry: THERE IS THE REASON, A METHOD TO THIS MADNESS, AND IT SEEMS NECESSARY. SOME PLAYERS WOULD CHOOSE, AS WE
SAW CAM SMITH LAST YEAR, CHOOSE TO PLAY IT FROM THE CART PATH. SO YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH BOTH PROCESSES, A LOT OF TIMES, THE GRASS SUNDAY AS PLAYABLE AS THIS IS RIGHT HERE. >> David: YEAH. NOW, YOU MIGHT LOOK AT THE TWO TEES. THERE AND SAY, WELL, THAT’S
FARTHER AWAY THAT ONE CLUB LENGTH. BUT IT’S FROM HIS NEAR HE FELT POINT OF RELIEF. WHERE HE’S NOT STAND ON THIS CART PATH TO WHERE THE BALL WOULD LIE IT’S ONE CLUB LENGTH FROM THERE. >> Arlo: BROOKS MADE HIS PAR AT 4. >> David: THAT’S IN PLAY AND 22.
>> Jerry: WE HAVE SEEN A COUPLE OF SITUATIONS ONLINE RECENTLY ABOUT GUYS IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS HAVING 10 STEPPED ALL OVER A CERTAIN AREA TO TRAMPLE DOWN THE GRASS AND DROPPING IT THERE. ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACKS ARE SAYING THAT’S INTENTIONAL VIOLATION, BUT THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE BEEN INTENTIONAL. >> Arlo: MEANWHILE A HUGE DAY
FOR CALEB ZÁRATE WHO HAS HAS ONLY JUST PLAYED PROFESSIONAL AT 19 YEARS OF AGE. AND THAT WAS A BIRDIE PUTT AT 7. HE IS 1 UNDER PAR TODAY. BUT LEGION XIII ARE BACK TO WITHIN A SHOT OF JOAQO NIEMANN’S TORQUE GC. NIEMANN IN A SPOT OF BOTHER HERE IS SEBASTIÁN MEAN GOING IN
TROUBLE AS WELL. >> David: HE’S DROPPED THAT INTO A FLUFFY ONE. >> I THINK IT PROBABLY PLAYS THAT NUMBER. >> Su-Ann: YOU HAVE TO WONDER IF WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING IS ON HIS MIND. IT’S GOTTA BE, RIGHT? >> Jerry: IT’S HARD TO BLOCK IT OUT. BUT HE HAS A JOB TO DO.
>> David: THAT’S A TERRIFIC SHOT. >> David: GUTSY. >> Jerry: THIS WAS BURMESTER WHO PLAYED JUST A MOMENT BEFORE JOACO GOT HIS RULING. SAW THE RESULT, EXCELLENT SHOT, HOLE HIGH. >> 90. >> 90. >> YEAH. PLENTY OF ROOM OVER THAT COVER. SO PLAYING PRETTY CLOSE TO THE NUMBER WITH THE FLYER. JUST OVER.
>> YEAH. >> MAYBE PLAY THE NUMBER. AND THEN IT JUMPS A LITTLE BIT. IT SHOULD TUMBLE OUT. >> OKAY. >> OKAY. >> RIGHT ON. >> Dom: YOU HEARD ADAM HAY SAY IT COULD BE A FLYER THE LIE IS NOT BAD BUT BUT RUNNING THROUGH THE FAIR WARE HE HAS A BETTER
ANGLES AND DOESN’T HAVE TO GO OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE. BUTTER, HE HAS A LITTLE BIT MORE ROOM TO WORK WITH LIKE JOACO DID, JOACO’S BALL RELEASED A LITTLE BIT. JOHN RAHM CAN RUN THIS SEVEN, EIGHT, YARD SHORT AND LET IT RELEASE. 60-DEGREE WEDGE. >> David: AND THERE IS THE JUMP.
THAT WOULD ONE SITS DOWN. >> Arlo: JOAQUIN NIEMANN IS GRINDING LEADING BY 2. TORQUE’S LEAD SLASHED TO ONE OVER JON JOHN RAHM’S LEGION XIII. >> David: TYRRELL HATTON HIS SECOND SHOT AT THE 9th FROM A DECENT LIE IN THE ROUGH IT LOOKS LIKE. RIGHT AT IT. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SHOT.
>> Arlo: TYRRELL TEED OFF AT 6, THIS IS HIS FOURTH HOLE ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY, TWO BIRDIES ALREADY THAT HAS HELPED LEGION XIII TO THAT TOTAL OF 13 UNDER, JUST 1 BEHIND TORQUE. >> STARTING AT THE EIGHT COMING DOWN AND LIFT IT. JUST A SLOW 60. >> PERFECT. >> David: 19-YEAR-OLD CALEB SURRATT.
A COUPLE UNDER PAR, HAVING A FINE FIRST WEEK OUT HERE. >> Arlo: NO STRANGER TO TEAM GOLF. HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE VICTORIOUS U.S. TEAM AT ST. ANDREWS LAST YEAR IN THE WALKER CUP. AS AN AMATEUR. >> WHERE IS IT? >> JUST BEHIND. >> OH, 10 YARDS?
>> David: JOHN RAHM OVER THE BACK AND KIND OF A STUBBY LOOKING LIE, DOM. >> Dom: YEAH, HE’S RUN INTO A REALLY HORRIBLE LIE, I UNDERSTAND WITH GREG, AND GREG IS — I AM STANDING WITH GREG AND GREG IS SHAKE US HEAD WHAT DO YOU THINK, GHRAIB.
>> NO DOWNWIND NEW YORK AGAIN TO WORK WITH HE HAS TO LAND IT IN THE FRINGE THIS IS ONE OF THOSE DEALS WHERE IT HAS TO BE A PERFECTLY-EXECUTED SHOT. >> Arlo: CAM SMITH HIS SECOND SHOT AT 7. HE’S BEEN IN SCINTILLATING FORM SO FAR TODAY, 3 UNDER THROUGH HIS OPENING 3 HOLES.
RIPPER GC UP TO THIRD PLACE. THAT’S AN IMPROVEMENT OF THREE SPOTS FROM THEIR OVERNIGHT POSITION. >> Jerry: AND HE’S GOING TO GET THAT UP AND DOWN WITHOUT QUESTION. AND MAKE ANOTHER BIRDIE. THOSE ARE FOOTSTEPS THAT THE LEADERS ARE GOING TO HEAR. THAT IS CAM SMITH ON — OFF TO A HOT START.
>> Arlo: WHILST THAT WAS HAPPENING JOHN RAHM PLAYED HIS THIRD AT THREE. >> David: TOUGH SHOT. JUST BEAUTIFULLY PLAYED. >> Arlo: TYRRELL HATTON, ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO TIE THE TEAM LEAD AND HE TAKES IT THIS, TYRRELL HATTON. LEGION XIII THE EXPANSION TEAM, IT’S THEIR LIV GOLF LEAGUE DEBUT.
AND THEY ARE TIED FOR THE LEAD WITH TORQUE ON 14 UNDER. >> Jerry: A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD HAVE — IF — WHERE IT’S LEGAL IT PLACE A WAGER PUT A WAGE ORE IT, BECAUSE OF JOHN RAHM AND TYRRELL HATTON BUT THE UNKNOWNS WERE CALEB SURRATT AND KIERAN VINCENT.
AND PRETTY IMPRESSIVE SO FAR, ESPECIALLY OUT OF SURRATT. RAHM TAPPED IN AND NOW BERM BURMESTER FOR BIRDIE. >> Su-Ann: IF HE MAKES THIS IT PUTS A LOT OF PRESSURE ON JOAQUIN’S PAR PUTT. >> David: POSSIBILITY I’VE TWO-SHOT SWING. >> Su-Ann: FAIRLY FLAT. >> Jerry: THAT PUTTING GRIP IS SO INTRIGUED ONLY FIVE, SIX
TEAMS ORE IT EVEN HANDED. >> David: PARTY ALICE USED TALL THAT AFTER 40s FINGER. >> Jerry: HE HAS THE DOUBLE GRANDPA GRIP. >> David: HE HAS THE DOUBLE 40S GRIP. >> Arlo: SEBASTIÁN MUÑOZ AS TAKING RELIEF, THIS IS HIS THIRD AT THE FIFTH. TORQUE HAVE BEEN REIN ED IN BY LEGION XIII.
THEIR LEAD WAS 5 BEFORE THE TWO-STROKE PENALTY FOR JOAQO NIEMANN, NOW IT’S ZERO. >> David: CATCHING A LITTLE BATH. >> Arlo: ARE YOU AN ICE BATH SORT OF BY, DAVID. >> David: AM I WHAT? >> Arlo: AN ICE BATH SORT OF GUY. >> David: OH, NO, NO, NO, NO.
I AGE WARM BATH SORT OF PERSON. >> Jerry: MR. 59. JOACO. >> Su-Ann: CAW JOAQUIN, THIS IA BIG PUTT. HE MADE A FEW OF THESE YESTERDAY. STARTED USING AGE AIM POINT E, NOT ALWAYS, JUST WHEN HE FOOLS LIKE IT. GIVES HIM THAT LITTLE BIT MORE CERTAINTY. WHEN IT COMES TO PICKING HIS
LINE. AND THIS SHOULD MOVE TO HIS LEFT. >> Jerry: YEAH, WE HAVE IT ON THE LIV LINE, TRULY IS A RIGHT, LEFT PUTT ACCORDING TO LIV LINE. >> David: JUST A LITTLE LOW. >> Jerry: ALL IT TOOK WAS A SUCH MORE SPEED. >> Arlo: JOACO BLINKS FIRST, HE’S BACK TO 10 UNDER.
LEGION XIII, HAS SERVED IN THE EARLY HOLES HERE ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY. TYRRELL HATTON. HE’S OUT OF IT INDIVIDUALLY, BUT THAT WAS HIS SECOND SHOT INTO THE SIXTH HOLE. AND THEN A BIRDIE PUTT AT HOLE NUMBER 8. HATTON IS 3 UNDER FOR HIS ROUND SO FAR THROUGH HIS OPENING FOUR HOLES.
CALEB SURRATT IS PULLING HIS WEIGHT AS WELL. THAT WAS FOR BIRDIE AT 7. KIERAN VINCENT HAS THIS FOR PAR AT 16. >> Jerry: STARTED HIS DAY WITH A BIRDIE AT 13 BUT THEN TWO BOGEYS IN THE FOLLOWING THREE HOLES. >> Arlo: IT’S SAFE IT ASSUME THAT LEGION XIII WILL BE STAYING
AT CAESARS PALACE IN VEGAS. >> Jerry: VERY GOOD. WE TAKE A LACK AT OUR OVERHEAD GRAPHIC BASED ON THE SCORES PLAYERS MADE. FEW BIRDIES ALREADY, NO BOGEYS ON THE SHORT PAR 3. >> Dom: THREE START PARS FOR JOHN RAHM AND HE STILL HAS THE HONOR. CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY, THINGS ARE
JUST A LITTLE BIT TIGHTER AT THE START. PITCHING WEDGE FOR JOHN RAHM, JUST A VERY SOFT ONE YOU WOULD THINK. 117 YARDS. >> JUST TRUST IT ABOVE THE TREES THERE. IT’S HARD TO TELL. BUT IT SHOULD BE OVER HERE. OKAY? >> STILL ONE OF FIVE, RIGHT? >> ONE OF FIVE, YEP.
>> Dom: THIS IS WHERE HE NEEDS TO FLY THE BALL A LITTLE BIT. >> David: GOOD SHOT. SEBASTIÁN MUÑOZ WITH HIS FOURTH SHOT PAR 5 5th YOU CAN’T GET ANY KIND OF STUFF ON IT FROM THAT SHORT BERMUDA ROUGH. >> Su-Ann: NOW, DEAN. THE 4th PLAYING 117 TODAY.
MIGHT BE A SHORT HOLE, BUT IT IS CERTAINLY A TRICKY ONE AS WE SPOKE WITH GREG YESTERDAY ABOUT IT. DESIGNED THIS HOLE. IT’S SHORT. THESE PLAYERS ARE HITTING A WEDGE WHICH IS THEIR SPINNIEST CLUB HITTING INTO TO THE APEX OF A HEAD WIND. >> THANKS. >> WOW. >> I THOUGHT MAYBE JUST LESS
THAN THAT. >> RIGHT? >> YES. YOU SEE HOW THE WIND IS IT’S MORE. >> OKAY. >> Su-Ann: JOAQUIN HAS A GAP WEDGE IN HIS HAND. >> David: SEBASTIÁN MUÑOZ FROM THE FRINGE AND THE BACK EDGE OF THE FIFTH. THIS IS FOR PAR. THAT WILL BE FOR BOGEY AND NOT IN THE HOLE YET.
>> Arlo: HE DROPS AT LEAST ONE, CAM SMITH ONCE PRODUCE AID FINAL ROUND OF 64 TO WIN THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP AT ST. ANDREWS NO LESS, HE’S AT IT AGAIN IN THE EARLY STAGES HERE. THAT WAS FOR BIRDIE AT 4. THE MAN IS SIMPLY RUNNING HOT. THIS FOR BIRDIE AT 5.
AND IMMEDIATELY MAKES IT THREE IN THREE FOR HIS CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY ROUND. FOR BIRDIE AT 6. AND NOW AT 7 THE PAR 5. HE HAS THIS FOR EAGLE. >> Jerry: HE DIDN’T, DID HE? >> David: HE NEARLY DID. >> Arlo: IT WILL BE ANOTHER BIRDIE, FOUR IN FOUR FOR CAM
SMITH RIPPER 11 UNDER PAR ON THE PODIUM. AND CAM SMITH TO WITHIN 3 OF THE LEAD. >> David: MUÑOZ DID MAKE HIS BIRDIE OVER — BOGEY RATHER OVER AT 5. >> Arlo: WELL, WE HAVE A NEW TEAM LEADER. >> David: HOW ABOUT THAT. >> Arlo: LEGION XIII ARE 13 UNDER PAR.
THEY LEAD THE WAY. . >> 13 POST. >> YEAH. >> DON’T NEED TO TELL ME. >> Su-Ann: WALKING UP HERE YOU NOTICE SOMETHING BETWEEN DEAN AND HIS CADDY, JASON. >> YEAH, I THINK THESE GUYS ARE MISREADING THE WIND. WHAT I DO WITH MY CADDY RIGHT
NOW IS GIVE IT A MAP OF THE GOLF COURSE AND TELL HIM TO LOOK AT THE OCEAN AND SEE THE WAVES THAT’S WHERE THE WIND COMING. IF YOU LOOK OUT THERE NOW YOU CAN SEE THE WIND ACTION IS MORE TO THE RIGHT AND INTO YOU, THAT’S WHY THESE GUYS ARE
MISJUDGING SOME OF THE SHOTS. >> Su-Ann: WORKING VERY HARD ON THIS PART OF HIS GAME, THE LAG PUTTING. DID IT SO WELL ON DAY ONE AND DAY TWO. >> Arlo: LET’S GET A LOOK ACTION ZEST WHERE, LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN MADE BOGEY, SINCE THEN THREE STRAIGHT BIRDIES THAT’S GOT STIS WITHIN 2 OF THE PODIUM.
SECOND SHOT AT NUMBER 6. MARTIN KAYMER HASN’T BEEN HIS BEST WEEK THUS FAR, BUT CAN HE GET THE CLIQUES UP THE PYLON? THAT WAS FOR BIRDIE AT 15 THE CLEEKS ARE 5 UNDER PAR, 6 BACK OF THE PODIUM. >> Su-Ann: NOW DEAN BURMESTER. BIRDIE PUTT AT 4. IT IS A NEW GREEN.
THIS YEAR. SO IT IS GOING TO PLAY A LITTLE BIT SLOWER, HAS MORE SAND ON IT AS YOU SAW FROM JOACO’S FIRST PUTT. >> NO. >> David: BROOKS KOEPKA HAVING A GO AT PAR 5, FIFTH IN TWO. IT’S AN EXCELLENT SHOT. GOOD CHANCE FOR EAGLE. BACK TO THE FOURTH.
>> Dom: WELL, WE HAVE NOT SEEN A BIRD FRIDAY THIS GROUP YESTERDAY. BUT THIS IS A GOOD CHANCE. SAME ROUTINE EVERY TIME, COUPLE OF PUTTS, PRACTICE STROKES AT THE BALL AND THEN STEPS BACK. READS IT AGAIN. ONE MORE PRACTICE STROKE. HE’S CERTAINLY AIMING JUST OUTSIDE THE RIDE LIP.
NEEDS TO KEEP THE PACE UP. >> Arlo: WELL, CAM HAS STARTED WITH FOUR BIRDS CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY AND HE’S REACHED THE TEE AT 8. >> SIT, SIT. >> David: PRETTY SWING. AND ANOTHER GREAT CHANCE. >> Jerry: YEAH. THAT’S ABOUT 80% CHANCE TO BE 5 STRAIGHT THE WAY HE PUTTS.
>> David: WELL TORQUE STAY ONE AHEAD. >> Su-Ann: AND DAVID, THESE OF THE PUTTS YOU DON’T WANT TO LEAVE YOURSELF WHEN YOU HAVE PRESSURE ON YOU. >> I MEAN IT’S ALMOST STRAIGHT. A TENDENCY TO FALL THAT WAY. >> Su-Ann: SEEMS LIKE HE’S TAKING MORE TIME ON HIS PUTTS AND MORE DISCUSSION BETWEEN HIM
AND GARY. ON ON THE PUTTING GREEN TODAY. >> Jerry: YOU KNOW, IT’S UNDERSTANDABLE BECAUSE IT’S HUMAN NATURE WITH EVERYTHING ON THE LINE, GREG WOULD BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU STAY IN THE ROUTINE THAT GOT YOU THERE, IT’S HARD TO DO BUT IMPERATIVE. >> Su-Ann: YEAH. HE’S GOING TO MOVE TO HIS LEFT,
AGE THIS IS ABOUT A BALL AND A HALF RIGHT. >> David: WELL DONE. >> Arlo: WELL, LEGION XIII, JOHN RAHM’S EXPANSION TEAM LEAD THE TEAM COMPETITION BY 1, HE’S ONE OFF THE LEAD. >> Jerry: BEAUTIFUL LITTLE VIEW OF ONE OF THE MANY AWESOME RESTAURANTS RIGHT THERE THIS THE BACKDROP.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN FREQUENTED BY A FEW OF OUR CREW THIS WEEK. SERGIO LONG, LONG EAGLE EFFORT FROM JUST OFF THE FRONT EDGE OF THE GREEN. THIS IS ONE OF THE DAYS, WHEN PLAYERS GO TO DAVID TO THE UNCONCESSION THE PUTTING GRIP AND HE HAS A VERSION OF THE CLAW.
I DON’T KNOW WHO FIRST DID THAT. BUT NONETHELESS ISSUE THINK THEY WOULD STRUGGLES AND A LOT OF THEM DO ON THE LONG ARE RANGE PUTTS AND HE TENDS TO HAVE PRETTY GOOD SPEED ON THOSE LONG-RANGE PUTTS WITH THAT UNCOMFORTABLE TO ME FEELING PUTTING GRIP. DID YOU EVER GO TO IT, THE CLAW?
>> David: NO. THINK NO. I WAS FREQUENTLY THAT DESPERATE, BUT NEVER ACTUALLY WENT THERE. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jerry: OH. >> David: BEAUTIFUL SHOT THERE. >> Jerry: KIERAN IS GOING TO TRY TOO KEEP HIS PAR COUNT TO A MINIMUM TODAY. A COUPLE OF BOGEYS, THAT WILL BE HIS SECOND BIRDIE.
>> David: LOOK THAT BEAUTIFUL HOLE. >> Jerry: HOW DO YOU LOOK AT THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY WHEN IT’S RAW AND IN YOUR MIND FIND A GOLF COURSE AND GREG DID A GREAT JOB OBVIOUSLY. >> David: WELL, YOU SET OUT WITH A MACHETE AND HOPE YOU DON’T GET LOST, I IMAGINE. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jerry: AND JUST LOVE HOW THEY TIP OFFED IN THE FAIRWAYS, LOOKS SO NICE AT THE END OF WALKWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT’S THREE MOWER WIDTHS WIDE. IT IS >> JUST A GORGEOUS HOLE. >> 554-YARDS, AND THEY CAN GET THERE IN 2 OFF A GOOD TEE SHOT.
BUT YOU CAN SEE THE WATER OFF THE LEFT, BUNKERS ON THE RIGHT AND ONLY 15-YARDS ON THE FAIRWAY THAT PINCHES IN THERE. >> YOU CAN SEE THE SITUATION ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN, FOREARM AND BURR MESTER. ONE DROPPED SHOT BY JOAQUIN NEIMANN AFTER THE TWO-STROKE OVERNIGHT PENALTY.
>> THE LEAD IS ONE. >> HUGE SCORING DISCEP PEN SY TO THOSE GETTING IT OUT THERE WITH THE WIND HELPING THE 350 MARK. >> 350 IN THE FAIRWAY IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A SCORING DISCEP PENS SY. >> YEAH. JON SETTING UP FOR THE HARD FADE. >> YEAH.
HE HAS POT TO SET OFF THE LEFT SIDE, JUST OVER THE MANGROVES, HE HIT IT INTO THE FAR BUNKER AT THE END OF THE FAIRWAY YESTERDAY. >> SIT. SIT. >> JUST SHORT OF THOSE BUNKERS, AND GOT TO FIND THE FIRST ONE. >> I BELIEVE THAT IS THREE FOR THREE ON THIS HOLE FOREARM.
>> BROOKS KOEPKA COULD YET AT THE TOP OF THE PYLON HERE ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY HERE IN MAYAKOBA. IT IS ANOTHER 30 FOR THE PBA CHAMPION. SIX UNDER PAR AS WELL, AND MAKING A MOVE TOWARD THE PODIUM. SU-ANN: NOW DEAN GOING WITH HIS DRIVING IRON. >> THAT IS AN INTERESTING CHOICE.
SU-ANN: HE IS ONE OF THE TOP THREE IN DRIVING DISTANCE LAST YEAR. ONE MORE LEFT TODAY. SO PROBABLY GOING TO PLAY IT SHORT OF THOSE BUNKERS. [APPLAUSE] >> CAMERON SMITH IS THE MAN IN RED HOT FORM SO FAR TODAY. HE HAS GOT IT TO EIGHT UNDER. THAT IS FIVE CONSECUTIVE
BIRDIES, AND REMEMBER BACK IN TULSA, LAST YEAR, HE WENT ROUND IN 61 ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. SERGIO GARCIA MAKES HIS MOVE AS WELL. GOODNESS, THE DRAMA HERE ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY. HE IS NINE UNDER PAR ONE BACK OF JOAQUIN NEIMANN WHO MUST BE SENSING THE FOOTSTEPS BEHIND HIM. DAVID.
YEAH, REMEMBER YESTERDAY, HE HIT 390 HERE WITH A WEDGE. >> THAT LOOKED REALLY GOOD TAKING OFF. >> OH, MY. >> SMOKED THAT. >> JUST LOOK AT THE PYL ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN. THIS IS GOING ALL THE WAY. >> AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT

JON RAHM IS STANDING, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS NO ROOM BEHIND THE PEN AND TO THE PENALTY WHERE ARE, BUT THERE IS TEN YARDS. HE AND THE CADDY WOULD HAVE FIGURED IT OUT. HE CAN STILL BE AGGRESSIVE WITH THIS SHOT. >> CAN SPIN THE BALL. >> SERGIO AT SIX.
DOWNHILLSIDE HILL ON THIS SHOT. LOGIC WOULD TELL YOU IT IS SUPPOSED TO GO FROM THAT. MOST GUYS TEND TO PULL THIS JUST A LITTLE. NOT THIS ONE. [APPLAUSE] >> HE HAS THAT TO TIE THE LEAD. RIPPER HAVE HAD A TERRIFIC DAY SO FAR. CAM SMITH THROUGH FIVE HOLES HAS
ONLY TAKEN 15 STROKES, FIVE CONSECUTIVE BIRDIES, JOINING IN BIRDIE AT 11. RIPPER STARTED THE DAY DOWN IN SIXTH PLACE AND NOW TIED WITH SECOND WITH TORQUE TWO BACK OF LEGION XIII THIS IS CAM’S T TEE SHOT AT EIGHT. ONE OF THE FIVE BIRDIES. A GREAT DAY THE OZZYS SO FAR.

SU-ANN: GREG AND PRI HAVING A CHAT ON THE WAY UP TO THE GREEN. HE WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THESE PLAYERS ARE MISREADING THE WIND HERE AS WE WERE WALKING UP THE FAIRWAY, IT FELT LIKE IT WAS HELPING, BUT AS WE CROSSED THE CORNER, IT WAS MORE CROSS AND HURTING SLIGHTLY.
>> HE DOES. INTERESTING. WE HAD GRY ON THE POSTGAME YESTERDAY. WE HAD THE SAME CONVERSATION. THE DIRECTION IS STAMPED. THAT IS LEGAL. A COMPASS DIRECTION. THERE IS REALLY NO EXCUSE FOR MISJUDGING IT. THE PROBLEM FOR THESE GUYS, THEY CANNOT FEEL IT AS WELL AT THE GROUND AS IT IS BLOWING IN THE AIR.

>> THIS SHOT, EVEN THOUGH THAT FLAG IS IN THE DISSTAN, RIGHT AT THE CAMERA TOWER, OVER THE BUNKER LOOKS COMPLETELY. HE COULD PULL THIS OFF. THERE IS NO MARGIN FOR ERROR. >> FABULOUS SHOT RIGHT IN THE HEART OF THE GROWN AND A GREAT CHANCE FOR EAGLE.
>> I THINK IT IS TIME FOR A TEAM SCORE, ISN’T IT, TO FIND OUT WHERE WE ARE. THE ACTION HAS BEEN INTENSE. IT HAS GOT VERY, VERY CLOSE AT THE TOP OF THE TEAM PYLON. THIS IS HOW IT HAS GONE SO FAR TODAY FOR THESE FOUR TEAMS TORQUE AND LEGION XIII LEAD

STAY EVEN FOR THE ROUND. WHO WOULD HAVE PREDICTED JON RAHM BEING ONE OVER PAR AFTER SIX HOLES IF THIS DOESN’T DROP. >> YEAH. YOU SAW EXACTLY. ANY MISS HERE IS A MISS IN OPERATOR ERROR. YOUB HID SLIDER IS NOT FUN FOR A RIGHT HANDED GOLFER REGARDLESS OF THE SKILL LEVEL.
IT IS A DROP SHOT FOR LEGION XIII SO NOW THE LIV GOLF LIGUE CONTINUES TO CHANGE THE WAY THE GAME IS PLAYED. IT IS ALSO CREATING UNLIKE ANYTHING YOU SEE IN GOLF. SCAN THE QR CODE ON THE SCREEN FOR TICKETS TO FUTURE EVENTS WOULD BRING YOU THE GAME’S BEST AND ONE OF A
KIND PROFESSIONAL TEAM GOLF ACTION ALL ACROSS THE WORLD IF YOU ARE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, COME OUT TO SEE US, IS AN EXPERIENCE YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS. BURMESTER FOR PAR. >> LEFT TO RIGHT PUTT AS WELL FOR DEAN. AT TEN UNDER ONE BEHIND JOAQUIN NEIMANN. >> BROOKS KOEPKA HAS HIT

LOOK FIVE OVER PAR FOR THE COMPETITION BUT HE KNOWS HOW IMPORTANT HIS ROLE COULD BE TODAY FOR LEGION XIII. >> IF WE WERE COUNTING SCORES, THE ONE NOT COUNTING FOR LEGION WOULD BE JON RAHM TODAY. PRETTY IMPRESSIVE STUFF OUT OF THE TEAMMATES. HE WILL GET IT TO TOGETHER, YOU KNOW IT. 152-YARDS.
THAT IS WHAT THE EIGHTH HOLE IS WEIGHING IN AT TODAY INTO THE BRO. I MENTIONED EARLIER, THERE SHOULD KNOB EXCUSE FOR NOT READING THE WIND CORRECTLY. COMPASS IS STAMPED IN THE YARDAGE BOOK. YOU KNOW WHAT THE FORECAST WAS. IT IS VERY DETAILED AND VERY ACCURATE. ALSO, DAVID, YOU ARE ALLOWED TO
KARA CALM PASS WITH YOU. >> YEAH. CARRY A COME BASS YOU. >> YEAH. A COMPASS, RANGE FINER. >> I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THAT ONE. >> NO. >> YOU CAN’T STOP THEM, DAVID. >> A COUPLE OF BOGEYS. ONE RIGHT OF THE BREN, ONE SHORT OF THE YEN, FOUR BYRD DYES

IS THE TEE SHOT AT 15. >> LOUIELOUIS OOSTHUIZEN HASES THIS TO SAY AT NUMBER FIVE UNDER PAR. >> TO A GREAT START AND JUST LOSES A LITTLE MOMENTUM THERE. >> DROP OFF THE PODIUM POSITIONS TO 16 UNDER. >> WELL, THE SEVENTH WILL BE THE PLACES TO DO IT.
THAT IS WHAT JON RAHM HAS DONE. >> A LITTLE ONE. BETWEEN THAT AND THE EDGE IS THE MID. YEAH. HE HAD A DISCUSSION THEY WANT TO HIT IT 170-YARDS BACK ON TO THE FAIRWAY WHICH WILL LEAVE THEM DEAD DESIRED YARDAGE. >> YEAH. >> SO A BIG NINE OR MAYBE A
SMOOTH EIGHT WITH THE HELP OF THE WIND. TAKING THE LINE IS NOT EASY, THOUGH. >> HOW THAT IS? >> HE SEEMED HAPPY WITH IT. >> NOW DEAN NEXT. HE DOES HAVE AN18-DEGREE IRON IN THING ABOUT AS WELL. SO 16 AND 18-DOE GROW. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE 18-DEGREE HANGING LIE.
256 AT THE FRONT HERE. WIND COMING OFF THE 7:00 OR 8:00 PERHAPS. >> IT IS STILL IRON. THAT OTHER ONE MUST BE LEFT-HANDED. >> 1 AND 0 THERE. >> SO RARE TO SEE THAT IN THE MODERN GOLF BAG. >> ANOTHER FINE SHOT. TWO IRON SHOTS. HE IS AGAIN.
THIS IS FOR BIRDIE AT 13. THE PAR 5. HE STARTED THE DAY LEVEL PAR. TYRELL HATTON IS SIX UNDERTHE DAY AND THAT ESTABLISHES BUNS MORE LEAD OF ONE FOR LEGION XIII. >> NOW JOAQUIN WITH THE SECOND SHOT HERE ON SEVEN. FIVE WOOD. I THINK HE SWITCHED THAT CLUB ON THE TEE. WAY BACK.
IS IT ENOUGH? BRIDGE SWING, KNOW? GET THERE WITH A LONG IRON. >> CAM SMITH THE SECOND SHOT NOW AT 11. >> COOLED OFF THE PAST COUPLE OF HOLES. A PAR AND BOGEY AFTER OPENING THE ROUND ON SUNDAY WITH FIVE BIRDIES, BUT THERE IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR HIM. CHARLES HOWELLER, II LAST YEAR’S
CHAMPION TEAM AND CHAMPION INDIVIDUAL. HERE IT WHICH IS A BIRDIE OPPORTUNITY AT EIGHT. BEAUTIFUL. TAKES THE SCORE TO SIX UNDER PAR AND NOW SERGIO TO TIE THE LEAD. >> THAT WAS THE SECOND PUTT CHARLES HOWELL MADE OFF THE BRON. I THINK THE SAME HOLE. >> THAT HAS PRETTY GOOD SPEED. NO.
STILL NOT QUITE GETTING THERE WITH ANY CONVICTION OUT OF SERGIO. THEN HIS DESIRE TO GET THAT FIRST WIN OUT HERE DAVID. >> YEAH. OH, YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. >> YES. >> SO LEGION XIII IN THIS HE FIRST EVER LIV GOLF EVENT. THEY LEAD BY ONE. TIRE REL HATTONS THE MAIN MAN TODAY.
SIX UNDER PAR FOR HIS ROUND. JON RAHM IS ONE OVER PAR BUT THEY STILL HAVE THE LEAD HAVING 9 AND 1 AND CAN IER ANN VINCENT. KIERAN VINCENT. CAB LEL SUR RAT ONE WONDER. CALEB SURRATT IS ONE UNDER AND THEY LEAD BY ONE. HE CAUGHT A LITTLE BIT SLOPE AND
LAID IT 15-20 FEET TOO FAST AND SIMILAR TOUGHER SHOT. HE IS GOING TO BE DOWNWIND SO HE ONLY HAS THREE TO FOUR FOOT AREA TO LAND THE BALL IN. >> WHAT A SHOT. HE LANDED IT RIGHT IN THAT AREA, AND PULLED IT UP TIGHT. CALEB SURRATT HIS SECOND AND 12 ON THE FAIRWAY.
HIS COACH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE SAID THE BEST MIDDLE TO LONG IRON PLAYER HE HAS SIGN COLLEGE. LOOK AT THIS KID GO AT 19 YEARS OLD. >> WELL, STINGER ANNOUNCED TIED FOR THIRD ONCE AGAIN. THIS IS CHARLES SH WART ZELLE BIRDIE AT ONE AND THAT IS WHAT HE HAS DONE.
THREE BACK ON LEGION XIII AND TORQUE GC. LEGION 13 FOUR CLEAR. SU-ANN: GREG, I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU. SEEMS TO BE QUITE A BIT OF DISCUSSION BETWEEN GARY AND JOAQUIN TODAY BACK AND FORTH, A LITTLE INDECISION. AS A PLAYER, HOW DO YOU COPE WITH THAT? HOW DO YOU THEN REFOCUS?
>> THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF HEAD SCRATCHING BETWEEN THESE TWO. A COUPLE OF CLUBS IN HIS HAN THREE OR FOUR TIMES ALREADY. YOU KNOW, YOU GET A DAY WHERE YOU ARE JUST IN BETWEEN CLUBS ALL DAY LONG, JERRY. IT CAN DRIVE YOU BERSERK. >> YEAH. DAVID, I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT.
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE HE DOESN’T HAVE HIS RHYTHM GOING RIGHT NOW TO THE PERFECT SHOT WHEN HE SHOT THE 59 EVERYTHING WAS RIGHT AND HE WAS HIGH AND I, TOO, HAVE NOTICED THAT BETWEEN HE AND GARY. THEY ARE A LITTLE UNCERTAIN WITH THEIR DECISION MAKING. >> THIS GUY, DEAN BURMESTER
SHALL, HAS PLAYED VERY SMART SO FAR. TWO BEAUTIFUL IRON SHOTS INTO THIS GREEN AS WELL. >> YEAH. YOU CAN SEE THE COLOR ON THE SCREEN. IT IS OUR LEFT. >> ANOTHER GOOD LIE PUTT. ANOTHER BIRDIE. ELSEWHERE, DUSTIN JOHNSON, REIS IN FIFTH PLACE OF SEVEN UNDER PAR, DY. NEIMANN. HIS LEFT AT 7.
>> YEAH. IT IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE SLOW IN THE FIRST BIT AND THEN REALLY QUICK. THREE OR FOUR PACE ON THE GREEN, IT IS ALL DOWNHILL. LOOKS PRETTY SHINY WHEN I WAS BACK THERE. >> YEAH. SU-ANN, I REMEMBER DAVID WAS COMMENDING, IT’S THE TPC AT SAN ANTON YEN AND I SENT
HIM A TEXT. HE SAID EVERYBODY IS MISLEADING THE PUTT. DO YOU REMEMBER THAT? >> I DO. I DO. YOU KNOW? THE GRAIN DRAIN WILL FOLLOW THE DRAINAGE. YEAH. OH. I AM KIND OF HALFWAY SURPRISED HE DID NOT CHIP THAT. >> WAY YEAH, ME, TOO. THAT IS A COUPLE OF SHOTS I HAVE SEEN.
EVEN THOUGH HE MADE THE ONE BACK ON FIVE. I AM JUST SURPRISED. I WOULD HAVE CHIPPED THAT. >> YEAH. THAT FIRST PART WAS INTO THE GREEN. >> BEAUTIFUL FOOTWORK. I HAVE TO TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU AS WE WATCH NEIMANN LINE UP. HE IS CERTAINLY NOT AS THREW WID, HE IS?
>> HE IS DEFINITELY NOT. HE IS FEELING, I DON’T KNOW WHO SAID IT, HE CAN FEEL THE FOOTSTEPS BEHIND HIM, SEW IS FEELING IT NOW. >> DAVID, GOING BOCK THE THIRD SHOT. I MEAN, GREG, IT SEEMS LOOK THE MODERN PLAYER PUTTS FROMS A LONG WAY OFF THE GREEN, A
LOT MORE THAN THE GUYS IN YOUR ONLY IN THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP CAN YOU SEE GUYS PUTT FROM 20 FEET OFF THE GREEN. THEY ALL DO IT THESE DAYS. YEAH. THEY DO. AM SURPRISED BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE GREEN AND WHEN YOU ARE INTO THE GROWN,S REVERY HARD TO JUDGE IT.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT HE HAS ON PART OF THE THREE DEGREES OR FOUR DEGREES BUT STILL NOT ENOUGH TO GET THE BALL UP LIKE A MONEY CHIP SHOT. >> YOU CERTAINLY SAW THE BALL HOT PRETTY BIG IN THE FIRST BOUNCE. >> THERE IS NO PACE ON THAT. JUST TENTATIVE. YEAH.
DAVID, I AGREE WITH YOU. MORE THAN A HIT THAN A STROKE TODAY. >> YEAH. YEAH. RIPPER STAYS 12 UNDER LEVEL THIRD WITH STINGER. >> NOW JON RAHM. >> YEAH, CERTAINLY IS, JON KNOWS IT, TOO. >> THIS GIVES LEGION XIII A 3-SHOT LEAD OVER TORQUE AS WELL. [APPLAUSE]

IT ALREADY HAS. CANE FIRST. YES, SIR. >> SIR? >> THAT’S THE BEST WAY. >> IT IS A FIRST AS WELL. >> EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE. >> YOU KNOW, LIKE I TELL OTHER PEOPLE, PEOPLE DON’T LIKE BEING REMINDED. WELL, YOU ARE OLD. >> EASY NOW, GUYS. EASY. EASY. >> ABOUT FOUR PIECES ON.
THE 11th GREEN. DUSTIN JOHNSON HASES THIS TO BIRDIE TO GET TO EIGHT UNDER PAR. OH, YES. HE JOINS BROOKS KOEPKA AND CAM SMITH AND THEY ARE JUST ON THE FRINGES OF A MAGNIFICENT COMEBACK VICTORY ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY. THIS IS GOING ALL THE WAY. ISN’T HE? >> YEAH. GOT A GOOD LIE.
SLIDE THE UPHILL WEDGE HELPS. HE IS ABOUT THREE-FOUR DEEP. HE WILL LAND ABOUT TWO OR THREE YARDS ON. HE IS LANDING IT OUT THE GROWN AS WELL, SO IT WILL CHECK NICELY. IT NEEDS TO GO. >> JUST KICKED UP IN THE AIR ON HIM IN THE FIRST INTO THE GRAIN.
YOU ACTUALLY GOT TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE SHALLOW WITH THE CHIPPING STROKE AND TAKE THE WRIST ACTION OFF HIT. YEAH. THE MORE SPIN YOU PUT ON. THE MORE CHANCE THERE IS KICKING UP LIKE THAT ONE DID. SU-ANN: IF HE MAKES IT, IT WILL GIVE HIM A LOT OF CONFIDENCE GOING INTO THE
BACK. UPHILL. >> THAT WAS A MORE CONFIDENT SWING WITH THE PUTTER. AMBULANCES OUT OF THE RIGHT EDGE. >> RICHARD BLAND, HIS BIRTH DAY YESTERDAY. HE WAS 51. >> NO-SHOWING ANY SIGN OF IT RIGHT HERE. YES. OH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD BLAND. THE FIFTH ACE IN LIV GOLF HISTORY AND BLAND GETS IT
TO SIX UNDER PAR. >> OH. >> THAT IS GREAT. SU-ANN: NOW DEAN FOR PAR. THAT WAS NOT THE BEST EFFORT ON THAT CHIP. SU-ANN: MY RIGHT. >> THAT IS DISAPPOINTING THERE. THAT WAS OVERLY DIFFICULT UP AND DOWN. JON RAHM NEXT FOR PAR. >> THAT WAS BIG PUTT FOR HIM. STAY IN TOUCH.
>> OK. JOAQUIN TO MAIN TAN THE LONG STROKE LEAD. CAM SMITH FOR ANOTHER BIRDIE TO GET TO WITHIN TWO OF THE LEAD. OH WE HAVE NINE HOLES TO PLAY. MY GOODNESS WHAT A DRIVE ARE WE HAVE HERE ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY. THE TEAM LEADERBOARD, THE FIRST EVER LIV GOLF LIGUE EVENT.
TYRELL HATTON IS LEADING THE WAY FOR THEM. THEY HAVE A FIVE STROKE LEAD OVER RIPPER GC FORWOMAN CAM SMITH IS FLYING AT THE MOMENT. WE GOT SEVEN PLAYERS WITHIN THREE SHOTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL LEADERS AS WELL. SO THIS IS GOING ALL THE WAY. LET’S HEAD OUT BACK TO THE
COURSE TO GET THE THOUGHTS OF OUR ANALYSTS SU-ANN HENG FIRST FOLLOWED BY JOAQUIN NIEMANN AND DEAN BURMESTER. SU-ANN: HE IS TAKING EXTRA TIME OVER THE SHOTS, WHICH TO BE HONEST, WHO CAN BLAME HIM. IT IS A LOT OF PRESSURE ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY UP AGAINST A GUY LIKE JON RAHM .
THE GEE JOE ACONDITION WITH IS TO FOCUS ON THE PROCESS, WHICH IS WORKED SO WELL FOR HIM THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS IF. JUST LIKE YESTERDAY, JON RAHM HAS HAD A SHACKY START WHERE YESTERDAY WAS THE WEDGES AND THINK PUTTER BUT TODAY WITH THE TEE BALL.
HE HAS LOST A LOT TO THE LEFT. WHY THOUGH LEFT. HE HAS GOT TO MAKE ADJUSTMENT. I DON’T KNOW WHAT HE WILL DO. AS WE KNOW THE BACK NINE, THE TEE SHOTS DON’T GET ANY EASIER. HE HASES A LOOK ABOUT HIM. HE IS PRETTY MAD AT HIMSELF AND EXPECT HIM TO GET IT
TOGETHER ON THE BACK NINE. >> WELL, HERE IS JON RAHM ON THE TEE AT TEN. >> THESE GUYS — I KNOW RAHM IS A LEADERBOARD WATCHER. I AM ASSUME EVERY PLAYER IS. I THINK SOME CHOOSE NOT TO. THINK NEIMANN IS ONE OF THEM. THEY KNOW SOME OF THE INDIVIDUAL
SCORES OUT TODAY THEY GOT TWO ROUNDS OF ABOVE. ONE OF THE EASY ONES THEY KNOW IT IS BEAUTIFUL SO THEY HAVE BE SOMEWHAT OPTIMISTIC THEN APPLY MORE HEAT TO THEMSELVES TO GET SOMETHING DONE HERE ON THE BACK NINE. >> ANOTHER FAST BACK SWING RIGHT THERE. >> THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING ISN’T.
HE NEIMANN HAD THE TWO STROKE PENALTY OVERNIGHT WHICH CUT THE LEAD FROM FOUR DOWN TO TWO. IT IS ONLY ONE SHOT GOING INTO THE CLOSING HOLES. DOM, LET’S BRING I IN AND TALK A LITTLEJOHN RAHM. I GUESS THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF SURPRISE AROUND. HE HAS NOT SRGED TOWARD THE LEAD
AT THE MOMENT PLAYING SOME PRETTY STEADY GOLF BUT LEAVING SHOTS THROUGHOUT PERHAPS. >> YEAH. WELL, YEAH. LIKE I SAID, ARLO, THE TEE SHOTS THEY ARE MILES TO THE LEFT. I HAVEN’T SEEN JON RAHM PLAY THAT MUCH BUT I DON’T THINK HE HAS HAD THAT MANY BAD TEE SHOTS BUT GREG SAID HE
WAS WONDERING IF JON IS SO NEW TO THIS LIGUE WHETHER HE HAS BEEN STARING AT THE TEAM LEADERBOARD AND SEEING EARLY IN THE DAY THEY WERE LEADING. WHETHER THAT WAS DISTRACTION OR NOT. I DOUBT THAT VERY MUCH BECAUSE HE IS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL. HE HAS WON SO MANY TOURNAMENTS
AROUND HE WORLD AND FOCUSED ON WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO AND WHAT HE WANTS TO DO WHICH IS STILL TO WIN THIS TOURNAMENT. HE IS STILL VERY MUCH IN IT. NIMAN’S TEE SHOT AT TEN ON THIS ONE. THAT IS NOT GETTING IT DONE EITHER. SU-ANN-AMN ARE YOU PICKING UP ON
ANYTHING IN TERMS OF THEIR INNER PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP THEY SEEM NOT TO BE AGREEING A WHOLE LET EARLY. THEY ARE NOW NEARLY ON THE CLOCK IT IS FORCING THEIR HAN. >> YEAH. THINK AS I SAID EARLIER. GARY AND HIM ARE TRYING TO TEE SIDE WHAT THE WIND IS DOING OUT HERE. IT IS TRICKY.
IT IS TOUGH TO READ BECAUSE IT JUST MOVES IN THESE LITTLE TUNNELS AND EVERY CORNER THAT YOU TURN IT IS DIFFERENT TYPE OF WIND SO THEY ARE TRYING TO FIND YOU KNOW, A CONFIRMATION OF WHAT THEY WANT TO DO BUT CERTAINLY FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW, WATCHING 50 EVEN YESTERDAY IN THE TOUGH
CONDITIONS, HE WAS CERTAINLY MORE DECISIVE IN THAT PARTNERSHIP WAS LITTLE MORE IN LINE. THEY CERTAINLY DON’T SEEM TO BE ALIGNING AS MUCH TODAY BUT YOU KNOW, IT DOES HAPPEN IN THE GAME OF GOLF ESPECIALLY ON A DAY LIKE THIS WHETHER THERE IS SO MUCH PRESSURE AND SO ONLY MUCH ON THE LOON.
DOM, I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU AS WELL. I KNOW RLO, ARE YOU ABOUT READY TO BE BRILLIANT. THAT IS NOT NEW TO US. WE HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE. THAT MAKES HIM AND HATTON GREAT TEAMMATES BUT SEEMS TO BE OVERLYST FROM RATED WITH TOUGH THAT IS HAPPENING AROUND HIM RIGHT NOW. YEAH.
MEAN, WE SAW THAT A LITTLE BIT YESTERDAY. HE SEEMS TO GET EASILY DISTRACTED THE CROWD. OBVIOUSLY, A GOOD CROWD FOLLOWING HIM BUT HAS NOT STOPPED BACK AS MANY TODAY AS HE DID YESTERDAY. YEAH. HE IS NOT 100% FOCUSED RIGHT NOW, AND, HE NEEDS TO GET IT TOGETHER, MAYBE HIS CALF
I HAVE AITH AND THEY THEY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER A LONG TIME. HE KNOWS JOHN’S PERSONALITY BETTER THAN ANN ONE. I WONDER IF THE WINNER EVENTUALLY WILL COME OUT OF THE GROUP OF BURMESTER OR NEIMANN. BUT VERY BIG NAMES. CAM SMITH IS UNDER. >> WELL, WE THOUGHT ABOUT THEM
AT THE START OF THE DAY IF THAT TWO-SHOT PENALTY IN THE LEAD CAME BACK TO TWO AND THE GUYS LIKE CAMERON SMITH, YOU KNOW, DUSTIN WHEREIN SON, YOU MIGHT SNEAK UP THAT LEADERBOARD AND IT IS SORT OF GOLF COURSE WHERE YOU CAN MAKE UP A FEW BIRDIES ON THE BACK NINE.
YOU NEVER KNOW. THE LEAD GROUP IS KIND OF PREOCCUPIED. THEY ARE. THEY ARE NOT DOING MUCH AS ALL. THEY BROUGHT IN A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WOULDN’T HAVE HAD A CHANCE. YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT AT THE TEAM. THAT GROUP IS REALLY IN NEUTRAL RIGHT NOW. YEAH. YOU MENTIONED SERGIO GARCIA AS
WELL S. HERE HE IS. THIS IS A MOMENT AGO ON THE 11th SECOND SHOT. >> THERES ANOTHER MAN HAVING A BRETT DAY. TYRELL HATTON. HE MISSED A REALLY SHOT PUTT EARLY THE RUN, BUT HAS MADE EVERYTHING SINCE. >> WAY, FOR HOUR 146789. >> THE MAN IS SEVEN UNDER PAR.
HE HAS A 59 WATCH RIGHT NOW. SO. >> LEGION XIII THANKS TO LARGELY TYRELL HATTON, AND OTHERS AS WELL. THIS IS CALEB SURRATT. THE SECOND SHOT AT 16. SUR RAT IS HAVING AN EBBS LENT ROUND. THERE IS NO WAY WHERE TO HIDE AS WE SAID BEFORE TODAY. THIS IS JON RAHM’S BIRDIE PUTT
AT 7. SO THIS IS A TEAM THAT DIDN’T EVEN EXIST IN RECENT WEEKS. I LOVE THE NAME OF THE JULIUS CEASAR AND THE ROMANNING PRF IF I AS WELL. YOU BOTT THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE WORLD. TYRELL HATTON THEN THE YOUNGSTER KIERAN VINCENT AND CALEB SURRATT.
THEY ARE CLEAR BY SIX AT THE TOP OF THE TEAM LEADERBOARD. >> YEAH. IT IS. IT IS EXTRAORDINARY. THE CALEB SURRATT. HE GETS MOST VALUABLE PLAYER ON THAT TEAM. WE EXPECT THE PLAY FROM HATTON AND RAHM. HE GETS MVP. CANNOT OVERREST HAT THE AM OF PRESSURE KIERAN VINCENT FELT STARTING THE DAY.
>> MAILS AWAY HERE FOR JON RAHM. MILES AWAY HERE FOR JOHN RAHM. >> THAT IS VERY GOOD. REALLY GOOD. SR.BY YO DID TAP IN FOR HIS BIRD SERGIO DID TAP IN FOR HIS BYRD DY. >> THE GOLF LEAGUE IS HONORING. THEY GOT THE LEADER BOARD AND JON RAHM AND GETTING THE
HANDSHAKE BETS NO ONE OUT THERE FINISHING STRONGER THAN RAHM. HE IS A MACHINE. HE SAYS JON LIV BROADCAST TO GET INVOLVED. DEAN BURMESTER NEXT TO PLAY. >> I TALKED TO HIM YESTERDAY AFTER THE ROUND HINTING AT WHAT HE WAS UP AGAINST TODAY. HES NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING. HE IS VERY ENJOYABLE BY, PLAYER.
OH, BACK TO THE GROWN. HE SAID THE WORDS “THAT GOLF BALL DOESN’T KNOW WHO IS HITTING IT. JOAQUIN PLAYING GREAT GOLF. THAT GOLF BALL DOESN’T KNOW. >> MY GOLF BALL FREQUENTLY DIDN’T KNOW WHO WAS HITTING IT. TRY INCREASE THOSE CHANCES OF STAYING IN THE FAIRWAY. THAT IS LIGHT RIGHT THERE.
THAT IS GOING TO BE SOMEWHAT CONTROLLABLE IN RAHM. TINY LITTLE TESTER FOR PAR. SEVEN PAR ALREADY. >> YEAH. GOING TO BE CAREFUL HERE AT 17 A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE SHORT PAR 4 AND RIGHT TO THE FLAGSTICK AND LONG. THAT IS GOOD. THAT IS. THAT INNING TO OPEN THE SIZABLE LEAD AFTER STARTING THE DAY
THREE SHOTS BACK BECAUSE OF THE JOAQUIN NIEMANN PENALTY. WELL, HERE IS THE 11th HOLE. PRETTY STRAIGHT AWAY. JUST ONE IN THIS BUNKER. BUT IT IS NARROW ONE. >> ANNOYING LITTLE FELLOW. BEAUTIFUL SIGHTSEEING HERE IN MAYAKOBA RESORT. >> A HERD, A BAND ARE HERE. >> THEY ARE CUTE LITTLE BUGGERS.
YOU CAN DOMESTIC KATE THEM. YOU CAN. >> NO IDEA WHY. >> YEAH. THE WIND FORECASTED FOR TOMORROW THIS WOULD BE FOR ROOM’S POWER NOT THE CASE TODAY SO HE IS PLAYING AS ALMOST EVERYBODY HAS THIS WEEK. >> KEEPING IT IN THE FAIRWAY. >> YEAH, IT GETS REALLY MARROW UP TO THE GREEN.
BEAUTIFUL LITTLE DRAW UP THE CENTER. >> TALOR GOOCH IS OUTPEEPING INDIVIDUAL CHAMPION AFTER 2023 SEASON AND THIS IS A BIRDIE FOR HIM AT EIGHT AND HE IS THREE UNDER PAR OVERALL. SMASHERS JUST SLIPPED AWAY THEY STARTED IN CONVENTION FOR THE PODIUM AND THEY ARE NOW EIGHT UNDER, SIX SHOTS BACK
OF A THREE-WAY TIE FOR SECOND PLACE INCLUDING THIS MEN’S TEAM TORQUE. >> JOAQUIN HAS HYBRID. >> IT MAKES SUCH A DIFFERENCE NOT BEING ON THE FAIRWAY AND HOW MUCH SPIN AND HOW MUCH CONTROL YOU CAN GET WITH THE SHORT IRON GOING TO BE LEFT. SU-ANN: NOW DEAN CERTAINLY IS MOST CONSISTENT PLAYER IN
THE GROUP SO FAR. GOING WITH THAT TRUSTY DRIVING IRON. LEFT. >> WELL, WE HAVE SEVEN PLAYERS WITHIN THREE SHOTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL LIGUE MEANWHILE LEGION XIII ARE MARCHING AWAY WITH T TEAM TITLE. >> STILL HEAT INDEX, LOOK I EXPLAINED, IT IS BASICALLY THE OPPOSITE OF CHILL. IT IS GETTING VERY WARM.
VERY STEAMY TODAY. NEAR 100 ON THE HEAT INDEX BUT ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS WEATHER. BEACH BEHIND US, EVEN THOUGH IS SUNDAY, QUITE A BIT OF ACTIVITY. JUST NORTH OF PLAYA DEL CARMEN. GREAT LITTLE VILLAGE. IT IS A LOT OF NORTH AMERICAN RETIREES BELIEVE IT OR NOT. GREAT LITTLE TOWN JUST SOUTH. OF COURSE, A TOURIST
DESTINATION, THAT IS CANCUN. SERGIO AT 12. >> WELL, THIS IS PAR PUTT FOR CAM SMITH AT 14. >> ALMOST MISSED ONE. >> HAVING ONE HECK OF A DAY FOR BIRDIE AT 17. >> WELL DONE. >> OH. HE SLIPS TO EIGHT UNDER T. THAT IS WITH THE CROCODILES. YOU CAN SEE THAT SLOWL
FLOATING TO THE BOTTOM. >> OH, HE IS GOING TO MOVE TO TWO BACK. >> AND HE HAS MISSED SOME TUNES EARLY IN THE ROUND. YEAH. DID HE. HE WON THE LAST REGULAR SEASON LAST REAR, DIDN’T HE? WEE BECOME THE FIRST LIV GOLFER TO WIN FOUR INDIVIDUAL TITLES.
>> NOW WE GOT TWO CLUBS. >> IT IS INTERESTING. >> TAPPED IN FOR BIRDIE. THAT IS INTERESTING ABOUT, SORRY DAVE RID. NO PROBLEM. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS ALMOST HURTING THE WIND. ACTUALLY DID PRETTY WELL THERE. HE CRIPPED THE TREES. HE CLIPPED THE TREES. YEAH. THIS IS NO AT PRETTY LIE.
A BIG CLUMP OF GRASS BEHIND HIM. IT IS SITTING DOWN, TOO. >> DIDN’T COME OUT AS FAST AS HE WAS EXPECTING. >> JON RAHM IS LEVEL PAR TODAY AS IS KIERAN VINCENT. >> THAT IS RIGHT. LOVE IT. >> EXPECT THIS ONE TO BE MUCH CLOSER THAN THE OTHER TWO.
>> REGION XI HAVE GAINED TEN SHOTS ON TORQUE TODAY ALONE. WELL, I HAVE A FEELING LEGION XIII IS GOING TO ONE BACK RIGHT HERE. >> OH, YOU CAN SPIN IT. >> WELL, LIV GOLF THE FIRST BROADCAST AT THE END OF 20 3 IS CALLED FAIRWAY TO HEAVEN.
IT IS HOSTED BY SU-ANN HENG AND JERRY FOLTZ. A RECENT GUST WAS TORQUE GC CAPTAIN JOAQUIN NEIMANN. >> I WILL ASK THE OFFICER, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE MYSELF AFTER I GO AWAY A WEEK. YEAH. SO I MAY COME UP WITH SOMETHING NEW FOR NEXT YEAR. SU-ANN: OH, COME ON.
GIVE AS YOU LITTLE MORE. >> MY FAVORITE, I MEAN, I AM READY FOR IT. I AM READY FOR SO HOPEFULLY. WHY. DAVID: YOU TAKE IT ON THE RACETRACKS AND STUFF? >>> YEAH. >> HE CAN BUY HIS OWN JET IF HE WINS HERE TODAY. >> CAP SCAN THE QR CODE. SOMEHOW.
SU-AN IS THE DENEAS ONE. HE SHE IS THE STAR AS IS THE GUEST. >> BURMESTER THIRD. SU-ANN: GIVE YOURSELF AL LITTLE MORE CREDIT, YEAR RY. BUMP AND RUN HERE FOR DEAN. SERGIO, THIS IS FOR BIRDIE AT 12. GRACE FOR BIRDIE AT EIGHT. HE IS CONTRIBUTING MIGHTILY TODAY BRANDEN GRACE
STARTING THE DAY AT EIGHT UNDER PAR AND HE IS TWO UNDER TODAY AND THAT HAS STINGER IN SECOND PLACE. >> SERGIO FOUR FEET HERE FOR PAR. OH. >> YIKES. EVERY SHORT ONE HE MISSED YESTERDAY. EVERY SHORT ONE SO FAR TODAY HAS BEEN LEFT. YEAH. BACK TO 11. >> ONE STROKE LEAD NOW.
>> TODAY’S WIND IN THE SUTTIES OF IT IS MAKING TODAY IN A TWISTED WAY MORE CHALLENGING THAN IT WAS YESTERDAY BECAUSE YESTERDAY WAS JUST BLOWING SO HARD AND KNEW WHAT THE WIND WAS DOING TODAY IS JUST VERY SUBTLE AND FEELS DIFFERENT. IF HE DOESN’T END UP WITH A VICTORY TODAY AND GOING TO
BE THAT CLUB. >> HE MADE EVERYTHING. >> THEY ARE GOING TO WIN GOING AWAY KIERAN VINCENT. A BIRDIE AT THE PAR FIVE FIFTH HE IS ONE UNDER FOR THE DY AND LEGION 13 AT 16 UNDER FORETHIS DAY AND EASILY THE BEST IN CLASS ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY AND THEY LEAD BY 7.
THIS WOULD GET JON RAHM TO JUST ONE BACK. AND THE WAY HE HAS PLAYED, DOM, I THINK HE WOULD BE SURPRISED IF HE WON BACK IF HE KNOCKS THIS WIN THE LEAD STILL AT 11 UNDER PAR. >> I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, DAVID. HE IS ALREADY GOING OUT THE WAY HE DID.
HE WOULD BE THREE OR FOUR BACK BY NOW. OH. WELL, WHEN JON RAHM THE FIRST ORDER OF BUS THOSE WAS TO COME UP WITH A NAME FOR THE NEW TEAM AND LED US IN ON THE INSPIRATION BEHIND LEGION 13. LEGION XII. >> FANTASTIC TO SEE TO HAVE ANOTHER WORLD CLASS ATHLETE
STEP TO PLAY WITH US. >> NO JON RAHM COMING THAT IS A BIG NEEDLE MOVER. LOOKS IT IS MASSIVE FOR JON. HE AM GLAD HE IS HERE AND GOING TO HELP THE LEAD AND HELP ALL OF US. THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD AND TRANSCENDS THE GOLF MARQUETTE. EVERYTHING STARTED BACK IN THE
DAY WITH DJ AND CAME IN AND SMITH AND ONE OF THE TOP PLAYERS IN THE WORLD IN JON RAHM SO A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE WHOLE GAME OF GOLF. IT IS OBVIOUSLY AMAZINGLY TOUGHER WITH HAVING A BY BUT WE WELCOME ALL OF THEM. ONE OF THE BEST GOLFERS ON THE

TORQUE THE OVERNIGHT LEADERS HAVE STALLED. THEY ARE DOWN TO FOURTH. >> SO HOW DID STINGER ALL OF THE SUDDEN FIND THEMSELVES IN SECOND PLACE? WELL LOUIE USE THIGH ZEN AFTER HE BOGEYED HIS ONLY HOLE AND THE SECOND SHOT AT SIXTH. CHARLES SCHWARTZEL A WINNER IN LONDON, THAT WAS THE BIRDIE OF ONE.

WONDERING HOW THEY GOT THEIR NAME. JON RAHM CAN EXPLAIN. SO THE NAME IS LEGION XIII AND LOGO IS A LION. THE NAME WAS ELABORATE JOURNEY I WOULD SAY. I WANTED TO GO WITH GLAD IT A ARE OR WARRIOR SPIRIT. THINKING OF A WARRIOR, THE NAME LEGION CAME UP AND MY WIFE
KELLY AND I LOOKED AT EACH OTHER. THERE IS SOMETHING THERE. RIGHT. THE NAME WAS THERE. THE 16th TEAM. WRITTEN IN ROMAN NUMERALS SO REPRESENTS THE CAPTAIN AND THE FEW PLAYERS. WE THOUGHT LEGION 13 HAD REALLY GOOD SOUND TO IT. >> JON RAHM IS MARCHING WITH HIS LEGION 16 THEN STARTED
THINKING, THIS IS REALLY FAMILIAR. THEN, WITHOUT BUTCHERING THE HISTORY TOO MUCH. LEGION XIII WAS THE LGON THAT WAS FAITHFUL TO JULIUS CESAR. THE LION IS MAINLY WORK TO THE DESIGN OF THE LION IS RELATED TO PAST TRADITIONAL WRITING SO THAT’S THE WHOLE STORY. >> THERE IS A LOT TO HAVE THE NAME PORTRAY.
YOU ARE UNITED IF EVER A SHOT I WANT MY TEAM TO FEEL LIKE IS UNUNITY. WITHIN THAT TIME, I MEAN, I COULD KEEP ON GOING BUT THERE WAS A LOT. THERE WAS A LOT. >> YOU JUST SEE THE WAY THAT JON RAHM THINKS. >> REAL STORY BEHIND HIS CHOICE OF NAME.
THAT LIONS AS WELL THE EMBLEM OF HIS PREFERRED SOCCER TEAM ATHLETIC. THEY ARE FLYING TODAY. 22 UNDER PAR. 12 UNDER FOR THE DAY. THAT WAS JON RAHM’S BIRDIE AT 7 AND TYRELL HATTON FOR BIRDIE AT 17. [APPLAUSE] >> SO THE TOP FOUR TEAMS AND THIS IS HOW IT HAS GONE SO FAR TODAY.
LEGION XIII HAVE A FIVE STROKE LEAD OVER THE CRUSHERS WHO ARE SURGED INTO SECOND PLACE. RIPPER GC AND STINGER ARE TIED FOR THIRD ON 15 UNDER PAR. SO IT IS NOT OVER YET. BUT LEGION 13 LOOKING GOOD FOR A DEBUT VICTORY. >> DOM YOU ARE WATCHING NEIMANN. YEAH.
HE GOT DOWN TO READ THIS CHIP THEN LOOKING OUT TOT THE LEFT SO HE IS EXPECTING A LITTLE KICK THOUGH RIGHT WHEN IT LANDS ON THE GREEN. >> JUST TOO MUCH. >> 16th TEE, SERGIO WITH THE OLD CHICKEN STICK. YEAH. THIS IS FOUR IRON, DAVID. >> LOOKING AT ANY IN CHANCES HERE.
THAT IS PERFECT. >> OK. THIS IS PLENTY, ISN’T FIT. >> YES. >> THAT IS THE 15th GREEN THE SPECTACULAR 15th GREEN. >> LE, DEAN BURMESTER MADE SOME NICE PAR PUTTS TODAY. ESPECIALLY THAT ONE ON 12 BUT NOT MADE ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT FOR BIRDIE. >> HE PLAYED THE PAR FIVE SUPERABLY THREE FOUR’S. OH.

WILL GO TO BED TONIGHT RUINED MISSED OPPORTUNITY HERE IN MAYAKOBA. JON RAHM TO TIE WITH HIS AND HIS GREAT FRIEND SERGIO GAR SEE WHY ON 12 UNDER. TOOK AWHILE FOR HIS ROUND TO GET GOING. HE IS GAINING MOMENTUM AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME. >> SERGIO GARCIA SPAIN AGAINST
SPAIN AT THE TOP OF THE PYLON HERE I MAYAKOBA. THEY ARE 12 UNDER PAR. [CHEERING AND APPLAUDING] >> JON RAHM IS ON THE TEE AT 16. THIS TEE SHOT FITS HIS EYE SO WELL. >> OH. >> SR.BY YO SECOND OF 16SU-ANN. SU-ANN: GOT TO BE REALLY CARELY.
YOU DON’T WANT TO GO TOO LONG AND TOO RIGHT. THAT IS JUST FINE. [APPLAUSE] >> WOW. THE CLOSING STAGES OF CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY. CHAPS, AS TOUGH AS IT IS TO WATCH JOAQUIN NEIMANN’S STRUGGLES IT IS CAPTIVATING TO SEE JON RAHM GO AGAINST SERGIO GARCIA. NOT THAT JON RAHM IS OUT. BOTH SPANISH ABSOLUTELY
INCREDIBLE DRAMA. YEAH. YOU COULDN’T HAVE PREDICTED THIS LEADERBOARD. COULDN’T PREDICT IT. THE THING IS, REALLY, A LITTLE SNIFF OF PLAY,OFF, IN THE AIR. YEAH. WHICH IL BE KIND OF COOL. YEAH. JON RAHM DIDN’T HAVE THE BEST STARTING OFF. YOU COULD TELL. THERE WAS FRUSTRATION OUT THERE. SERGIO I DON’T KNOW HOW MANY
DOES IT. HE STARTED DOUBTING HIMSELF ONCE HE MISSED THE PUTTS IN. THEY ARE BOTH SO DETERMINED THEY BOTH HAVE SOMETHING TO PROVE. SERGIO WANTS THE FIRST WIN AND IT IS TOUGH. IT IS VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TO ONLY GET 16 CHANCES A YEAR. JON RAHM WANTS TO CONTINUE TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW, THERE
IS A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN. HE HAS ARRIVED. FOR SURE. YEAH. HE IS LEGION XIII ARE LEAKING THE WAY AS WELL IN THE TEAM COMPETITION BUT DON’T GO ANY WHERE. IT IS BETWEEN RAHM AND SERGIO AT THE MOMENT. MAYBE IT IS NEIMANN AND BURR CHESTER WHO ARE SHOT BACK.
BUT THIS IS JON RAHM TOOK AWHILE TO GET. THAT WAS BIRDIE AT 14 THEN IMMEDIATELY, HIS BIRDIE AT 15 TO TIE THE LEAD. SERGIO LEFT A LOT OF SHOTS ON THE PUTTING SURFACE UNTIL HE STARTED TO DRAIN A COUPLE. THIS WAS FOR BIRDIE AT 14. AND THAT JUST NOTICED THAT HE
WAS IN THE ZONE. AND THAT WAS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY BIRDIE OF 15. >> IS HE ON THE SIMILAR LINE TO SERGIO? HE IS. YEAH. YOU WILL WATCH SERGIO JUMP IN PRETTY QUICKLY HERE. >> JUST A HAIR LOW. >> BROOKS MAY LEAVE WITH ANOTHER REGRET. BUT HIS SERGIO GARCIA.
>> I JUST ASKED GLEN, THE CADDY, IF HE HAS BEEN WATCHING THE LEADERBOARD. THEY HAVE NOT ACTUALLY SEEN WHAT IS GOING ON. THIS ONE CERTAINLY IN HIS VISION RIGHT NOW. BUT IT SEEMS TO BE PERHAPS ON A DIFFERENT PAGE WHICH MIGHT WORK OUT WELL FOR HIM. HE HAS GOT A GOOD READ FROM
BROOKS. JUST DIDN’T TAKE THE BREAK. >> WELL, LIV PLAYING THE GOLF LIGUE EVENT HAS RIPPER BC INTO SOLO THIRD SPOT. SIX STROKES BEHIND LEGION 13. HE IS TWO UNDER PAR FOR HIS DAY, CAM SMITH IS 7 UNDER RIPPER, 16 UNDER OVERALL. >> GO DOWN THE 18th RUINING A MISSED BURDEN DY OPPORTUNITY BUT
EVEL RIGHT NOW WITH JON RAHM WITH 12 UNDER PAR. >> DROVE IN THE PENALTY AREA. >> THEN TAKING RELIEF OFF THE SIDE OF THE CART. >> LOST ANOTHER ONE. DON’T HURT YOURSELF. >> ALL RIGHT. >> ALL RIGHT. OK. >> MAKING COMPLETE RELIEF BUT STILL GOING TO LEAD.
>> THE LAST PLACE THEY WANTED THAT IS FOR SURE. >> I AM GUESSING HE WENT WITH A WOOD. >> RAHM. >> DRIVER’S LINK FROM THERE. YEAH, HE DID. >> YEAH. HE MAY STICK WITH THAT DRIVING IRON. >> NOW HE JUST SMOTHERED IT. >> YEAH HE DID THAT ON 12, TOO. YEAH. >> OK
. >> SERGIO BAR JE WITH TO TEE OFF FOR THE FINAL TIME FOR NOW AT LEAST. HERE HE IS AT 18 LEVEL WELL JON RAHM AT 12 UNDER PAR. >> THE WINDS COMING DOWN. >> 4:00 SO HELPING AND LOOTINGLY FROM THE RIGHT. 295 TO REACH THAT LEFT BUNKER. >> TRYING TO FADE ONE.
NEEDS TO KEEP FADING. >> CALEB SURRATT HAS OVERCOME THE TRIPLE BOGEY ON 17 WHERE HE HIS RESPONSE HAS BEEN TRULY MAGNIFICENT. THAT IS THREE BIRDIES IN A ROW SINCE THEN FOR CALEB SURRATT. HE IS TWO UNDER PAR TODAY. LEGION XIII ARE FIVE REMEMBER THAT CLEAR OF THE CRUSHERS.
HE IS GRIPPING THAT ALMOST ON THE MANDEL. THE BAR BALL WAS SO FAR ABOVE HIS FEET. >> PAUL CASEY, TRYING TO KEEP THE CRUSHERS’ HOPES ALIGN. THIS FOR BIRDIE. TWO OF THE TEAMMATES INDUSTRIAL THE FINAL HOLE PLAY AND THAT’S THE PAR FIVE SEVEN, SO IT IS NOT OVER YET.
>> CRUSHERS ARE FIVE BACK. RIPPER ARE SEVEN BACK. >> FOLLOW THAT WAY. JUST NOT MUCH AT ALL. THAT IS THE PROBLEM. YEP. LOVE IT. YEP. YOU HOLD THE CARS. HOLD THE CARTS. THANK YOU. >> JON RAHM IS SUPPOSEDLY IN THE PRIMARY ROUGH. BUT IT IS GOOD LIES AS I HAVE SEEN ALL WEEK.
FRONT LOCATION MEANS HEAS TO BE SHOT SHOT IN JUDGING HOW THIS HAS TO FLY. HE HAS GOT A NINE IRON. >> MAYBE EVEN 177-YARDS WITH A NINE IRONS A KET. >> THEY ARE ONE UNDER PAR COLLECTIVELY. THAT IS A BIRDIE AT TEN FOR CARLOS ORTEZ BUT TORQUE HAVE GONE FROM FIRST TO
FIFTH AT TWO SHOTS OFF THE PODIUM. MERONK, THE MAN BY HIS POLELOW PROS AS THE PLAYER OF THE YEAR OF THE WORLD TOUR LAST YEAR. HERE IS BROOKS KOEPKA TEEING OFF AT 18. >> NEIMANN AT 16. HE COULD DO WITH IT. OH WHAT A WONDERFUL SHOT. >> AT THIS STAGE THAT IS GREAT
EFFORT. >> RAHM’S BALL WELL DONE AND REALLY THICK ROUGH. GREAT LIE BUT A TERRIBLE ONE. 2024 PROMISES TO BE THE MOST EXCITING YEAR YET FOR THE LIV GOLF LIGUE. NEW PLAYERS, LIV GOLF FANTASY IS BACK IN ACTION AND EXCITING FORMAT THAT OFFERS MULTIPLE WAYS TO WIN. IT IS SIMPLE.
PICK YOUR TEAM AND THEN COMPETE. YOU CAN WIN PRIZES, TOO. IT IS PANT SY BUT LOUDER IS ANOTHER GREAT WHICH TO ENJOY THE LIV GOLF LIGUE SCAN THE QR CODES ON YOUR SCREENS. HOW ABOUT KIERAN VINCENT AS WELL LOOKING TO PAD THE LEAD HERE TO GO TWO UNDER PAR
FOR HIS ROUND WHEN THE PRESSURE WAS CRACKED UP BUT HE HAS RESPONDED LEGION XIII14 UNDER TODAY. 24 UNDER OVERALL. THEY ARE SIX CLEAR. THE FIRST TIME TODAY. PAR FIVE 13th. WELL IN THE TEE, NOT DOING WELL AT ALL. AND THEN ONE LITTLE THING THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT COMING TO THE YEAR.
THEY CANNOT WIN. ALL OTHER 12 CAN. AND I DON’T FORESEE THIS BEING THE CASE WITH THE HYFLYERS BUT THERE IS ONLY 16 EVENS TO PUT YOURSELF IN THAT POSITION. IT WILL START CROSSING THE MINDS AFTER TWO OR THREE. >> THIS IS 18 SERGIO GAR SEE YES’ FINAL HOLE IN REGULATION. SU-ANN?
SU-ANN: MAN, HE WOULD HAVE WISHED FOR THAT BALL TO KICK A LITTLE HARDER TO THE RIGHT. SO CLOSE TO JUST GETTING ON THE FIRST CUT BUT EVEN THE FAIRWAY. BOY, USING THAT THICK STUFF NOW. WIND IS CERTAINLY CALMED DOWN. >> LOOKED LIKE A BUTTON MUSHROOM IN A BIRD’S NEST. >> YEAH. >> YEAH.

>> IT IS NOT GOD AT ALL, DAVID. IT IS NOT GOOD AT ALL. >> JUST A HAIR. THAT IS REALLY GOOD. >> HE ACTUALLY GOT THAT TO SPIN. THAT IS AMAZING. >> OH. THAT WAS JUST TREMENDOUS GOLF SHOT. YEAH. >> WELL, PEOPLE ACROSS THE GLOBE ARE RIVETTED BY THE LEAD
WITH THE CHILDHOOD IDOL AND FELLOW COUNTRYMAN SERGIO GARCIA WITH TWO HOLES TO GO. WHAT AN AWESOME TO SORRY DEVELOPING I CAN ONLY AGREE. >> JOAQUIN NEIMANN STILL WANTS TO HAVE A SAY IN THE OUTCOME HERE IN MAYAKOBA. 59 ON FRIDAY WHEN EVERYTHING WENT RIGHT. A 70 YESTERDAY ON SUPER SATURDAY
BUT THEN THE TWO-STROKE PENALTY THAT WAS ADJUDICATED ON THIS MORNING. >> TWO STROKES NOW. HOW HUGE WOULD THAT BE? >> HEHAS BEEN FIGHTING AGAINST HIMSELF ALL DAY TODAY. BUT HE STILL HAS HOPE. >> ABSOLUTELY. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU — I MEAN, HE PLAY LAYERED FROM THE FINISH OR FROM THE
START RATHER, YOU KNOW, THIS WEEK. ONCE YOU GET BEHIND, KIND OF FREES YOU UP, I WOULDN’T SURPRISED ME AT ALL IF HE RATTLED ONE IN. >> I FEEL LIKE IT’S STEADY. YES. EXACTLY. AT THE HOLE I CAN SEE IT STRAIGHTENING. THAT IS WHAT I SEE AT THE HOLE. >> WELL-PLAYED. JOAQUIN NEIMANN.
A CLUTCH BIRDIE FOR THE CHILEAN AND HE JOINS JON RAHM AND SERGIO GARCIA AT 12 IN PAR. HE WON’T GO DOWN WUT A STIFF FIGHT. >> BROOKS SECOND AT 18. HE WON’T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT. >> BROOKS SECOND AT 18. BACK TO 16 AND CHECK IN ON BURMESTER FOR BOGEY.
>> I WANT TO ASK GREGING A QUESTION. HOW ARE YOU FEELING OUT THERE? THIS IS PRETTY GOOD. >> YEAH. THIS IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT. MEAN, TO SEE JON LIKE I SAID, A COUPLE OF HOLES BACK. GETTING INVOLVED WITH IT. THAT SHOT IN THE 15 WHICH IS TYPICAL OF THE BEST PLAYERS
ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD. YOU KNOW, DAVID WAS HITTING SOMETIMES WHEN THE PLAYER DOES, WHEN HE HAD IT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. FOR JOAQUIN TO DO THAT, YOU KNOW, GAME ON, BOYS. TWO HOLES TO GO. IT IS ANYBODY’S GAME. >> JON RAHM TO STAY AT 12 UNDER.
>> HE COULD YET DO THE DOUBLE IN THE FIRST LIV GOLF EVENT WITH TEAM VICTORIES. >> WOULDN’T IT? >> IT IS STILL IN PLAY. >> YEP. [APPLAUSE] >> ON THE GO TO 17. >> CALEB SURRATT, ONE OF THE STARS FOR THE SHOW FOR LEGION XIII TODAY, THIS IS THE SECOND SHOT AT THE

SERGIO. HE HAS A LEFT TO RIGHTER THERE. WE DON’T KNOW WHAT KIND OF A LINE JOAQUIN HAS BUT IT’S NOT MUCH OF AN ADVANTAGE OF HIS STANDARD AND CALIBER. HE WILL GET THAT AND TRY TO CHIP IT IN IS WHAT HE’S GOING TO TRY TO. DO >> THE STATISTICAL MIND THE
ADVANTAGE TO HITS THE FAIRWAY THE NEXT TIME THEY PLAY. >> JUST A REMINDER, LEGION XIII HAVE ARE THE EXPANSION TEAM. 100% CHAMPIONS AND LEGION XIII. TYRRELL FANTASTIC. BUT KIERAN VINCENT TO MAKE IT INTO THE LEAGUE. THE FIRST TOURNAMENT AS. >> AND JOAQUIN NIEMANN BUT FORTUNATELY HE IS AGAINST THE SPRINKLER HEAD.

>> THIS WAS JOAQUIN NIEMANN’S DROP. >> WHAT A GOOD DROP. >> IT IS SIMPLE. AND JOAQUIN NIEMANN, AGAIN. FROM MUCH FURTHER OUT HE PUTS THIS AWAY HE IS THE CHAMPION IN MEXICO. IT IS NOT EASY TO MAKE THE CLEAN CONTACT. >> HE HAS THE PUTTER OUT. I’M SURPRISED. >> ME, TOO.
DAVID THERE IS NO GRASP BEHIND THE BALL AND THERE IS 10 FEET OF FRINGE. THE PACE CHANGES WHEN IT HITS THE GREEN. I’M SURPRISED BUT HE HAS BEEN DOING IT THE WHOLE WEEK. PICK IT UP QUICKER THAN HE NORMALLY WOULD. AND THE MINUTE HE HITS IT. >> AND, NO.
>> LOOK AT THE CONTACT. AND MOVED. AND WE DO. , WE HAVE TWO LEFT AT LEAST. >> 55 CANNOT SEPARATE THEM AND IT IS BACK TO THE 18th FEE FOR A SECOND PLAYOFF HOLE BETWEEN JOAQUIN NIEMANN AND GARCÍA. >> SUN SET IN 19 MINUTES. >> WE ALL GREW UP DOING IT.

>> IF YOU’RE FROM CHILE, YOU’RE NOT. JOACO WILL TEE OFF AGAIN. SUNDAY ALWAYS DELIVERS. >> WE GET THE GREAT PLAYERS TOGETHER. IT’S HARD NOT TO. >> IT IS DOWN TO THERE ARE AN EXTEND AT THIS POINT WHO IS THE MOST WORN OUT. JOAQUIN NIEMANN HAD THE BURDEN
OF THE LEAD FOR THREE DAYS. SURGEYO IS A GOOD BIT OLDER. >> THERE IS NOT MUCH LEFT TO THE CHOOSE FROM WHEN IT COMES TO THAT. THEY’RE FOCUSED. THE LAST WIN WAS IN A PLAYOFF A WHILE AGO. >> SERGIO WAS IN 2021 IN JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI. >> MAY CATCH IT. PERFECT.
THAT IS LONG, TOO. >> AND JOACO BEAT TO LIFT THE STONEHAVEN CUP AS THE WINNER OF THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN AND WENT INTO FINAL ROUND FOUR SHOTS BEHIND LEE. AND THAT GUARANTEED HIM A SPOT IN THE HOPE CHAMPIONSHIP. >> SERGIO’S LAST TIME WAS IN SINGAPORE WITH TALOR, NOT QUITE THE RESULT AT THIS POINT.
DON’T KNOW IF THOSE TWO FOR JOACO IS A SIGN. NEEDS TO HIT IT HERE FOR SERGIO. >> THERE WAS SOME ROOM, NOT A LOT. THERE IS ROOM THERE. THAT’S KIND OF THICK. >> HE IS 40-YARDS BEHIND JOAQUIN NIEMANN. >> HE IS SO WIRY STRONG. HE HAS SPEED.
HE IS UP AND 180, 182 FULL SPEED. >> AND CAN NOT BE MORE THAN 140 WITH READING GLASSES ON. >> HE WAS GIVING UP 60 POUNDS TO JON RAHM AND DEAN BURMESTER TODAY AND PASSED THEM ON A LOT OF TEE SHOTS. >> , THEY HAD LONG BIRDIE OPPORTUNITIES. THEN AFTER A DROP.
JOAQUIN NIEMANN. , WHAT WE SAW IN THE FIRST PLAYOFF HOLE T IS GETTING COOLER OUT HERE. I MEAN IT IS STILL FAIRLY WARM BUT DROPPED 5, 6 DEGREES AND NOT GOING TO FLY AS FAR MAYBE 3, 4-YARDS DIFFERENT AND SAW THEM CAME UP SHORT ON THE SECOND SHOTS.
HOW WILL THEY ADJUST OR WILL THEY HAVE TO? >> THEY LOOK VERY RELAXED. NOT SURE I CAN SAY THE SAME ABOUT THE CADDIED BUT THEY LOOKED RELAXED. HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR MIND FROM RACING IN THE SITUATION. >> AND FIRE BALLS ARE GATHERED TO SUPPORT THE CAPTAIN LIKEWISE TORQUE FOR RIPPER AND STINGER
ON 17 UNDER PAR. THEY CAME IN WITH HIGH HOPES OF A VICTORY A FIVE STROKE LEAD WITH FOUR OF THE PENALTIES OF THE SHOTGUN START. TORQUE ONLY 4 UNDER PAR FOR THE FINAL DAY. LEGION XIII, 14 UNDER TODAY TO TAKE VICTORY. >> WHEN FIRST WENT ON TOUR AS A
TEEN SERGIO GASSER GAS WAS HIS MENTOR. FOR SURE. >> GOT TO LOOK AT HIS LIE. THAT IS NOT PRETTY AT ALL. HE HIT IT IN THE THICKEST PART OF THE ROUGH. THAT IS NOT NICE. >> AND PLAYS. >> AND 85. >> YES. >> EXACTLY. >> AND 50-YARDS. DIFFERENCE THERE.
>> HE WILL HOPE THIS COMES SCREAMING OUT THERE OF THERE. >> RIGHT. >> AND GOT IT TO JUMP. THAT’S A FABULOUS SHOT FROM THERE. GREAT CONTACT. AND YOU KNOW, 49 THERE IS SOME WIND. >> I MEAN, YOU KNOW, 53 IS TOO SHORT. SO, YOU KNOW. THAT’S PERFECT. >> OKAY. >> ANY DIRECTION?
>> WELL THEY LOST ONE. I’M GOING TO GO STRAIGHT INTO YOU. >> HE WAS 89. 189 IN THE FIRST PLAYOFF HOLE. 149. AND A 40-YARD DIFFERENCE FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE FAIRWAY. AGAIN FROM THIS DISTANCE HAS BEEN THE BEST ALL WEEK. >> WELL, SHOULD BE A LITTLE UP HILL FROM THERE. THAT’S.
>> SERGIO GARCÍA CHAMPIONSHIP AND A VERY GOOD LOOKING JOAQUIN NIEMANN. >> 20 YEARS BETWEEN THE TWO. 22 AND 44. >> AND A LOT DEPENDS ON HIS, LOOKS CLEAN. DON’T KNOW WHAT IS BEHIND IT. IT IS VERY CLEAN. IT’S DEFINITELY MAKEABLE. AND BEHIND IT. >> IT IS GOING TO BE A WEIGHS.
IT LOOKED CLOSE. IT IS PRETTY CLOSE. >> I THINK IT IS JUST SERGIO BUT PROBABLY THREE FEET. >> AND (CROWD CHANTING JOACO). >> WOW. >> A LITTLE PARTISAN SUPPORT THERE. SERGIO WITH AN INCREDIBLE RYDER CUP RECORD WILL, SOMEONE IS CHANTING AGAINST HIM. YOU KNOW. HE IS WE USED TO THAT.
RISEs TO THE OCCASION. HE IS VERY GOOD AROUND THE GREENS. >> AROUND THE GREENS THIS WEEK. >> AND A FINE EFFORT FROM SERGIO. THE THIRD TIME IN THE LAST HOUR OR SO, JOAQUIN NIEMANN KNOWS IF HE DRAINS THE NEXT SHOT HE IS THE CHAMPION. >> I NOTICE BOTH THE FIRST
PLAYOFF HOLE AND SERGIO’S CHIP THERE. AND THE BALL DOES PULL UP QUICKLY AROUND THE HOLE. >> TO WIN ON THE SECOND PLAYOFF HOLE. THERE WE GO. HE NEEDS SPEED. HIT THE LINE. LEFT IT SHORT. , BACK TO THE 18th WE GO. >> I’M NOT SURE. WE WILL HAVE TIME FOR, WE HAVE
TIME FOR ONE MORE I THINK FOR SURE BUT. >> TALK ANOTHER LOOK AT THIS ONE. >> I JUST GOT A BIT OF NEWS BECAUSE WE HAVE LIMITED BY THE LIGHT. HE SAID THAT THEY ARE GOING TO ALLOW THE PLAYERS TO RIDE UP FROM THE TEE AFTER THE SHOT HE
TOLD SERGIO HE DIDN’T SEEM TO LIKE THAT IDEA. I ASKED BRAD DO THEY HAVE THE OPTION TO WALK. THEY DO. >> THIS IS A SHORT WEEK IN THE WE START IN VEGAS ON THURSDAY. >>> YOU ARE WATCHING A PLAYOFF IN THE INDIVIDUAL COMPETITION HERE AT LIVE GOLF FROM MAYAKOBA. JOAQUIN NIEMANN AND SERGIO
GARCÍA AT 12 UNDER PAR. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE HOLE 57 AND LEGION XIII, THE EXPANSION TEAM, 193rd TEAM IN THE LEAGUE HAVE WON THE DEBUT TOURNAMENT BY 4 STROKES. >> I LOOKED AT BRAD THERE IS ROOM FOR ONE MORE HOLE HE THINKS. >>> ONCE MORE INTO THE BREACH. >> AND TWO RIGHT THERE.
>> HE MAY BE IN THE DIVET THERE. >> THAT WOULD BE BAD LUCK. THAT WOULD, YES. >> NOW SERGIO NEEDS THE SAME DRIVE FROM THE FIRST PLAYOFF HOLE. >> THAT’S BETTER THAN WHAT HE HAD THE LAST TIME. THEY’RE WALKING. >> I’LL TAKE A RIGHT. >> AND HE WILL TAKE A RIDE AND
SERGIO IS GOING TO PACE IT OUT. >> NOPE. >> THE CAMERAS, IT IS WIDE OPEN. IT IS DARKER THAN IT LOOKS. >> SO DOWN THE STRETCH TODAY, SERGIO WITH BIRDIES ON 13 AND 14 TO GET TO 12 UNDER PAR. AND FINALLY STARTED HITTING SOME PUTTS AND 15 AND THE PAR-3.
JOAQUIN NIEMANN FOR BIRDIE AT 16. >>> THEN AT 17 THIS TO WIN IN REGULATION ON 18. THAT WAS THE SHOCKER THERE. SERGIO TO PLAY FIRST. >> I LOOKED AND IT IS BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE PREVIOUSLY. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE BALL. >> THAT IS A TRUE THERE.
>> AND IN THE MIXTURE THERE. HE IS A GOOD 40 YARDS BEHIND JOACO. >> I PACED IT, 53-YARDS. NOT DECIDED ON THIS. THEY WILL COME BACK TOMORROW AND HUGELY TALENTED. >> AND THE STUDIOS WILL COVER THE PLAYOFF AND BE POSTED ON THE YouTUBE CHANNELS. I’LL COME BACK.
>> LIV GOLF PLUS, WE HAVE TO GO TO VEGAS, DAVID. >> JUST A BIT OF WIND. >> OH THAT’S A BEAUTIFUL SHOT. SO WELL JUDGED. >> THAT KEEPS THE PRESSURE ON JOAQUIN NIEMANN. HE KNOWS WHAT HE SHOULD HIT AND HOW HARD TO HIT IT. >> THAT LOOKS GOOD. >> AND RIGHT AT IT.
>> MUST BE A LITTLE SHORT. >> CAN YOU SEIZE MUST BE A LITTLE SHORT. THEY CANNOT SEE THAT FROM WHERE THEY PLAYED IT FROM. >> THAT’S THE SCENARIO ON 18 THE THIRD PLAYOFF HOLE. AND JOACO TO GO FIRST. >> THE LIGHT FADING RAPIDLY. >> OUR CAMERAS ARE WONDERFUL
THEY DO A GREAT JOB OF REALLY MAKING IT SEEM BRIGHTER THAN IT IS. >> BY THE TIME THEY HIT THEM THE LIGHT IS COMING FROM THE JUMBOTRON. >> IT IS GETTING DARK. >> JUST GOT TO WONDER WE LOOK AT THAT WALKING UP. 44 YEARS OLD. >> SO BADLY WANTS TO PROVE HIM
OUT HERE JUST BEING HERE TO THOSE WHO DOUBTED BUT MORE THAN THAT, IN HIS OWN MIND WANTS TO PROVE TO HIMSELF THAT IT IS NEVER TOO LATE. HE CAN DO IT. >> HE STILL THINKS HE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO AND PLAY IN AND FUTURE RYDER CUPS. HE HAS NEVER GOING TO COUNT HIM OUT.
THERE IS STILL THAT ELEMENT THAT HAS TO CREEP IN. >> I THINK AT THIS POINT IN HIS CAREER. WE ALL KNOWWAY HAS DONE. >> I DO SEIZE COMING THIS WAY AND. >> I SEE LEFT TO RIGHT, RIGHT TO LEFT AT THE END. >> I THOUGHT OVERALL MAYBE. >> CHRISTINA.

A FOUR-STROKE LEAD AND MEANS HE WOULD BRING INTO THE CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY THEN HE IS PENALIZED FOR THAT DROP BEFORE PLAY. HE SAW THAT. COULD NOT GET GOING, CO. IT LOOKED LIKE ALMOST NAILED ON THE JON RAHM WOULD TAKE THE GLORY. AND HOW OPPRESSIVE THAT MAINTAINED HIS POISE AND CHARACTER AND PULLED OFF THE
WIN? >> THAT’S SERIOUS FORTITUDE TO SAY THE LEFT. AND TO COME UP WITH A WIN LIKE THIS YOU KNOW THESE ARE THE WINS THAT YOU REMEMBER FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. THE WIN THAT THEY DREAM ABOUT HAVING TO COME UP WITH THE LAST. AND YOU’RE GOING TO A PLAYOFF FOR HOLES LATER.
THAT’S A WIN. MEANING THIS TYPE OF COMPETITION. BUT YOU HEARD IT. HE FELT LIKE, HE IS ONE OF THE BEST. THERE IS NOT A SINGLE PERSON WHO LACES UP FOR A LIVE HOG DOES NOT BELIEVE HE IS ONE OF THE BEST. THE RANKINGS TO THE BODIES THAT CONTROL THE BAR FEIGNING CHIP.
THEY HAVE HIM IN THE MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIPS THROUGH THE RANKINGS. HE IS SURE TO RISE NOW. THAT GETS HIM IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. THAT’S A SHAME. THE MAJORS ARE CLOSE TO, IF NOT, ON THE VERGE OF BECOMING ASTERISK MAJORS. IF THEY DO NOT TRY TO GATHER THE GREATEST PLAYERS IN THE
WORLD TO COMPETE FOR THE COVETED TITLES, AS LONG AS THIS POLITICAL STRONGHOLD OVER THE RANKINGS IS ALLOWED TO BE THE MARE OWE METER THEY ARE ENTERED IN. AND THEY ARE A LITTLE BIT LESSENED TO THE SITUATION OF THOSE CHAMPIONSHIPS. AND JOAQUIN NIEMANN AND OTHERS, IT’S NOT TOO LATE. TOUGH CREATE A DIFFERENT
CATEGORY WITH A FAIR SYSTEM AND ADD IT. AND IT DOES NOT MATTER. SO TO GET ON THE SOAPBOX. YOU CAN TELL. HE WILL PLAY THE MASTERS. THEY WANT THE BEST FIELD. BUT TO CONFIRM HE IS IN THE IT WILL HAVE TO BE A QUALIFIED. >> AND YES.
THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY WAVE BUT LIKE I SAID. THERE IS NOT A SINGLE PERSON WHO DOES WHAT HE DOES FOR A LIVING, MALE OR FEMALE, OR UNBIASED FAN THAT CAN WATCH AND SAY HE IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD ON A SHORT-LIST. >> UNDOUBTEDLY WELL SAID, JERRY.
>> IT HAS BEEN A SPECTACULAR CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY. AND LEGION XIII WHAT THREE DAYS AGO WON THE TEAM COMPETITION BUT THIS IS HOW IT ENDED IN THE INDIVIDUAL TODAY. JOAQUIN NIEMANN AND SERGIO GARCÍA, TIED. SERGIO WITH A 66 TODAY. AND JOAQUIN NIEMANN WITH A 70 AND FOUR PLAYOFF HOLES TO
SEPARATE THEM AND IN THE ALMOST PITCH DARKNESS JOAQUIN NIEMANN ROLLED IN A BIRDIE PUTT TO TAKE GLORY. JON RAHM AND DEAN BURMESTER TIED. DUSTIN JOHNSON, HOWELL AND BROOKS KOEPKA WITH GOOD SHOWINGS. NOW TO THE PREPARATION. >> AND THE FANS ARE STUCK AROUND. >> THE PRESENTATION FOR LIV GOLF MAYAKOBA.
MEET THE TOP THREE INDIVIDUAL FINISHERS,. >> THIS IS IN THE PITCH DARKNESS THE CAPTAIN OF LEGION XIII, JON RAHM. >> HE ARRIVES ON THE SCENE CAN YOU TELL THE DISAPPOINTMENT. WITH HIS INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE. BOGEY BOGEY FOR A PLAYER OF HIS CALIBER THAT IS DEPUTIES. SERGIO FOR A FIRST LIVE TITLE.
THAT’S THE SECOND PLAYOFF DEFEAT AFTER GOING DOWN TO TALOR GOOCH’S SINGAPORE LAST YEAR. WHAT A MOMENT FOR JOAQUIN NIEMANN, WHAT AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER FOR HIM IN MEXICO. 59 SECONDS OF 60 ROUNDS AFTER BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU. HAD TO OVERCOME THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF A TWO SHOT PENALTY GOING INTO CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY.
HE MISSED ONE OR TWO OPPORTUNITIES BUT THEN THE HOLE. HOLD THAT BIRDIE PUTT. HE IS THE CHAMPION. >> THEY WILL CLEAR THE STAGE AND MAKE WAY JON RAHM WILL COME OUT WITH HIS LEGION XIII A TEAM THAT DID NOT EXCITE UNTIL MONDAY HERE. LEGION XIII, 194th TEAM IN LIV GOLF.
JON RAHM, ONE OF THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD, THE RAINING MASTER’S CHAMPION. AND CALEB SURRATT WAS SENSATIONAL A SOPHOMORE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE UNTIL A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. HE CLEANED HIS DORM ROOM OUT. AND KIERAN VINCENT. STOIC PROMOTED IN ABU CANADA DABI. THEY COULD NOT HAVE IMAGINED
BEING IN A TEAM TOGETHER. HERE THEY ARE AFTER AN EVENT AND JOHN RAM AND LEGION XIII WIN ON DEBUT. >> CALEB MAKING PARENTS PROUD O NOT TAKING THE CHAMPAGNE. >> AND DID JOAQUIN NIEMANN EARN THAT. AND $4 MILLION AND MAXIMUM POINTS FROM THE FIRST EVENT. IT WILL BE AN EVENT THAT HE
WILL NEVER FORGET. HOW ABOUT RICHARD BLAND. >> 6 UNDER PAR HE FINISHES. >> AND THE RENAISSANCE CONTINUES. AND BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU, 1 UNDER PAR FOR HIS CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE CRUSHERS WITH THE LATE SURGE LOOKING TO DEFEND THEIR TITLE. GOT SECOND PLACE. AND REMINDER OF THAT THEN, LEGION XIII, 24 UNDER PAR.
WITH THE LOW SCORE IS TODAY. CRUSHERS GC 20 UNDER PAR. TORQUE. THEY CAME IN WITH A THREE STROKE LEAD THEY GET THIRD PLACE HERE, THAT’S HERE. WE’RE BACK ON THURSDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AT THE VEGAS CLUB. THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US FOR A MEMORABLE WEEK IN MAYAKOBA.
WE’LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK. STARTING ON THURSDAY, WE’RE OFF FOR A LONG LIE DOWN FOR DAVID AND JERRY MYSELF AND DOM AND GREG AND SU-ANN, IT IS GOODBYE FOR NOW.

Very entertaining, far superior to PGA golf offering.
Insert standard comment about growing the game and the tours superiority over other said tour
Pebble was unwatchable for me at this point, don’t like the announcers and did not give me the winter golf feeling I was used to in the good days of old. Thanks LIV, was great.
Liv it up ⛳
Niemann dodged a couple of bullets by not being put in the clock for loosing more than a hole, he was taking way too long to play. That bounce off the tree on the 1st play off hole! I guess when it's your day!
