Basketball what’s your excuse for being late when I run this morning and then wait did Sean you did you go on a run same R oh you know the funny thing is I was actually ordering breakfast for everyone here and then inputting my card information so that we wouldn’t have to
Wait for it when we got there so in a lot of ways I saved this 20 minutes this morning um are those new sneaks uh new running shoes oh you’re going to have to work to for us to forgive you just we’ll say that yeah if you’re if you’re a reader
Out there this isn’t a journalist you can trust he’s in he’s in the hands of a big golf business I’m the only one supporting the little guy 15 time majorc I think it’s like uh morally right for a journalist to show show support for a player like this
Heading to a tournament when he withdraws with flu like symptoms yes Gloomy gloomy Saturday morning here at the Genesis Invitational day three we’ve got a big leader Patrick kley up by a ton we had a major WD yesterday Tiger Woods is gone Jordan spe disqualified late in the afternoon uh man I’m hoping we get a golf tournament
Today I’m hoping we finally kind of step away from all the stories that have been the last couple days just get into the action cley’s going to be clinging to a lead he gets off at 11:40 here uh but yeah I think we’re we usually get some interesting golf down the stretch at
This tournament I feel like today is the day we’re going to get everyone scooting right together what’s your Z throw some tahen on there man yeah throw some tah there’s not enough on there already ready no you go for it yeah there you go if this is spicy I’m coming after you
Guys so one of the enhancements this year that is different on the PJ tour is like a revamped recovery facility and uh there’s like 15 different things that they’ve changed up about it so I’m actually getting a peek into what goes into it all and the good news is I need
A little bit of recovering myself and feeling tight after this morning’s run so you out of breath just from the walk over here there’s a lot of hills and stairs at this course so yeah just recovery from just that simple walk seems like I guess if there are 51 guys who
Made the cut yeah what kind of percentage of players do you think make use fac it varies week to week uh but I would say probably half half half players throughout the course of the week will step foot in one of three centers maybe maybe a little more than
That some players that absolutely get used to doing this every single day every single round yeah and that’s the idea is you know this obviously this is a mobile unit we don’t have any home games so these go tournament to tournament and the idea is having a
Consistent space for guys to to work outy do yeah oh boy this is an example of one where we can start to see some asymmetries like right versus left yeah do you see any with me yeah Exactly um what is this doing besides just like what is this strengthening so pre round it’s all about engagement so we’re trying to get muscles turn off get ready to work so we encourage our guys to come in before cou do 12 on the Range they’ll come in here first do these
Types of movements you know we’re we’re focusing on engaging the muscle not necessarily fatiguing it right now CU you’re ready to go play yeah so the idea there is just kind of just trying to get the muscle get the muscle catter we have two two of them are at
45° and one of them is at 50 so basically the the warmer it is the longer you need to stay in effect so 44° we’re talking 3 minutes I live by Lake Michigan you know it’s nice little Friday morning Jump honestly I feel like an enlightened journalist in a weird way because I’ve always known that there have been places where players work out from place to place in the parking lot never really know what the inside looks like I’ve never really known who’s used it it’s
Just enlightening that these are all the enhancements that like look PJ tour had some competition it had to treat its players better had to roll out the red carpet with Benefits one of those benefits is curtesy cars everywhere they go the other is more toilets in the golf
Course the other is getting taken care of and taking care of their bodies in a much better way so it all comes together when you actually get in there and see it in action and get your back your back set in the Process I mean we play in the final pairing a few times or a couple times I should say uh I got the best of my Travelers he got the best of me at BMW so um we know we know where we stand um and and how we compete against each
Other I mean there’s just going to be a certain amount of self-belief that needs to go in uh I’m just really not not going to you know look at the board too much I feel like if I can just keep doing what I’m doing um get some
Pressure on on pad and or whoever whoever is going to be in that group is the most important thing all right Sean showed you guys the player recovery center right behind me but now we’re going to go to see where the caddies recover these are the guys
That are carrying the bags around all day so they’re probably a little more sore than the players it’s going to be fun to see what they uh do to get back on their feet after a long day going to be a little more grittier I would I would a little grittier I would
Hope zepher hasn’t done anything athletic all week so I don’t know if he really needs me walk maybe James and Sean should have been here after their run this morning oh my God it’s start in your feet and then work its way up so there’s five different kind of Chambers
Uh and you kind of customize the experience a lot of people have sore feet just after walking all day and stuff like that so this will start to fill up and what it’s done what it’s doing it’s kind of improve circulation blood flow and like I said kind of
Release that lactic acid that builds up to make your legs sore so it’s just using air pressure yep so no temperature just air compression and just kind of kind of cycle up and down and circulate the blood feels like I’m getting my blood pressure T exactly Yeah but don’t sleep on Wily Z don’t sleep on Wily Z it’s kind of funny I feel like a lot of people are sleeping on him generally speaking we didn’t see him for the better part of a year last year he left golf after what was that
The Masters in April um we haven’t really heard from him since came back at the Hero World Challenge in December and his game’s been kind of slowly trending in the right direction this is what I’ve missed so I mean this is you know go out and play
With joy and and enjoy being one of my favorite golf courses that we play on tour I this is my favorite regular season event that we have um year in year out was the first BJ Tour event I ever played in 2015 after winning the Showcase and you know it’s a pretty
Special place so you know if anything you know whatever happens tomorrow it is what it is but you know I’m I’m really excited where I’m trending and you know number one is always uh making sure that I’m peing for the majors and uh I think we’re pretty far ahead of
Schedule we trade so often I mean we play uh a number of rounds together so it’s hard to keep a real good tally on it do you have any good stories from um I think like Cameron said we’re one in one in Final Round together so
Hopefully I can get that get the edge tomorrow a beautiful beautiful setup stage is set for what’s should hopefully be a pretty awesome Sunday we got Pat kley leading by Two Strokes over his palander shafley a few other big names near the top of the leaderboard will Al
Tus who’s back after that lengthy injury last year and of course Jason day rocking his malbon straight across the center of this chest uh we get a huge huge Sunday coming up city of Angels let’s see what you Got all right folks Sunday in La it’s our last day here jesis final round coming up later on tonight it’s going to be a huge day we got $20 million to hand out today let’s get a Winner Actually officially go time now they they just walked behind the camera you can’t see them you can only look at me uh not a whole lot of interacting between our our two leaders Xander the best man of Patrick Canley in his wedding in October shows how close they
Are um but in terms of like final round they’re not going to be buddy buddy about everything they’re going to be quiet towards each other they didn’t say anything to each other on the practice uh practice green they were four stalls away from each other on their practice
Range which is very close but not a whole lot of interacting between these boys so it’s uh it’s officially like game on I did see Jamie Mulligan who is Patrick’s coach and Xander’s dad kind of laugh toward each other and like we’re signaling just I don’t know saying hi I
Guess um I will say no tiger today but his bodyguard did get to come and he’s here as a fan today so guess that’s a plus if your guy isn’t here all right seems we have a golf tournament has broken out here we got Hideki Matsuyama seven under for the day
15 under right now coming for home will alus 15 under tied he’s on the 14th hole right now Patrick kentley Xander shley one shot back battling in the final group obviously some birdie holes there in the back nine for them all of a sudden man after all week it looked like
We had kind of a runaway winner not all that much interest happening we’ve got a full-blown five or six way a run for the lead right now Luke Liss is hanging around too I mean guys guys are flying around the leaderboard right now Sunday afternoon Riviera truly living up to the hype
Here I uh sorry no no I uh I lost a family member on Thursday and um she was uh so she was with me all week um you know was a pretty um pretty special on Friday make the ho in one um after sorry um pretty special make the whole one on
Friday after I found out on Thursday um so she was with me all week it’s interesting all the things I can be happening in the background of a Tour event that you know we don’t really know everything that’s going on with every player in the field and uh well
Will Al tourus just tapped in for T2 best finish of his season maybe one of the biggest finishes of his life because he’s back and finally healthy playing golf again uh and he comes in here and uh gets a little choked up and we’re all taken back a little bit because we don’t
Know anything and he admits that uh he lost a family member this week he found out on Thursday uh made a hole in one on Friday and uh got very emotional there for a little bit and just goes to show you that if you have 70 players in the
Field there are 70 stories but like so much behind all those stories that you can’t always stay up on all the things happening in everyone’s lives so pretty incredible week for Him there he is Champ with the Entourage just as you thought James you call back I you know I’ve been saying all week Jackie just he just had a look in his eyes this week you know um I certainly was saying that this morning when he was trailing by uh need to do
The maths still but I think trailing by six shots uh I said Patrick kley he hasn’t been Rock Sol all week he hasn’t not missed a put this entire week he hasn’t looked absolutely incredible and completely infallable no it’s going to be a Dey today um so yeah you know I’ve
Just been hitting that it’s nice to be right how are are you going to celebrate this win already had a dinner plan tonight so I think that dinner plan is going to be great the 18 off of the 18th it was very uh it was very demonstrative ation for you I’m
Wondering when was the last time that you had a fist pump quite quite that yeah you know um RI era is actually a very special place for me won three times here and after you know um I won the fourth one uh Shiki told me you know
Hey you got to pass KJ chy so you know I was very happy to do that and I’ll definitely definitely text uh she can keep uh achieve this win
