All right y’all beard Bros Golf Show back again for another week I’m rod and I’m Marcus interesting part and we’re going to get into it when we talk about the Matsuyama and you know why he was able to kind of dominate on some holes where people struggled this week um it
Was very interesting to see how many pulls and you know people were really struggling to start the ball on the leftand side this week and just let it turn over in including people who traditionally the ball have a reliable cut like a Gary Woodland um was having a
Really hard time with that yeah exactly so um I think that’s a good transition let’s get into it let me load up this slide just to kind of show how dominant hii Matsuyama was in um his final round today bad all right so this should be up
Umaki matama greatness so I’ll have the scorecard pulled up here again a clean card uh the man did not have a bogey at all um you know came out hot first first three holes which when you look at people’s scores today if you if you weren’t birdy in hole number one you
Were already losing Strokes to the field that was really the case all week you had to birdie number one um it’s an easy hole you’re getting there in two for the most part or around the Green in two um both bonus points for birdie in two and
Three and number three was a chip in from off the green so uh let’s pull this slid show so pretty traditional um you know just the the PGA Tour layout you see how he just short on number one with the second shot had a really um efficient chip um right underneath the
Hole I was able to tap in for bird uh again number two um long par for Par Four Hole um puts it in the middle of the Fairway um you know this is the one sorry that he chipped in uh the number two that was a really nice chip in bonus
Points you don’t really expect that but again dude was dialed in either way it would have been a a simple you know tap in for par yeah again playing middle of the green you’re going to see a trend on his approaches um number three hits the
Center of the green above the hole puts it in three straight birdies to open up really from Holes number four on to about nine pretty ho hum right we’re just playing solid golf hits it long on this part three gets up and down I think
The when I looked at the kind of the breakdown he was inches from the hole when he chipped in or chipped up uh easy tap in for the par again another easy par on the card um just more of the same number six missed the green uh or no two- putted um after
Hitting the green middle of the green again again the trend pretty straightforward stuff um middle of the green surprising no yeah two t putt number 10 this is where we start turning up number 10 we know this is the famous drivable part for for this course um
Risk reward there was a lot of risk this week players were really struggling with number 10 I I didn’t see many people play this very well Luke list lost his crap yesterday um on this particular hole um you know they get queued in the bunker especially this bunker short
Right but Hideki short of the green chips up makes the putt what’ you think of number 10 this week and how it played I I don’t know I saw more people hooking it into the left um than I traditionally have seen especially on uh rounds two
And three I think number 10 is going to be a headache for forever because people don’t want to make up their minds people have pride they’re young they want to just drive the green then they come out of it trying to just like mash your 3-wood instead of just hitting like a
Bunt driver or hitting a driver and going into the bunker but you know when you have to do that you have to rely on um a good Li in the bunker you got to make sure that you’re getting the right kicks and stuff like that so I get it me
Personally if I wasn’t really fing in with the driver we’re going to iron and I’m just hitting a wedge but even then like people are like they don’t want to relinquish that though like people are so goofy they’re just like well I don’t really I don’t know so they’d rather hit
Like a 20 or 30 yard chip to this crazy shaped green instead of playing a 80 yard shot with their 58 where they know they can create spin with spin know they exactly right with spin so I don’t know why they choose to play like this but you know again perfect example Patrick
Klay Patrick Klay ended up in that front side bunker and it screwed up because then he ended up making a bogey he had to play one bunker shot then he had then he ended up in another bunker then he chipped out he didn’t really have a flat
Lie he had a decent lie but he had to put crazy spin on it still chased out the 12 feet right on The Fringe missed the putt couldn’t read it Rory in the Rory in the booth giving him the read yeah I had to put the opposite side mine
Broke right left to right right so his should break a little bit left he played it left to right never even touched the cup it was a it was a bogey all the way that’s what I’m saying like bro like yeah but I think that’s that’s what made
Hii’s round just unbelievable man this for him to pull a birdie out of this like you said ended up short played it short you know had a chance to go in the pins on that Sunday pin backs side of that green and you know was able to land
Short of the hole with with the putt going back uphill so I mean he’s in the best angle you see it you play like a little low Runner you pull out your 50 or your pitching wedge it’s going to check release and it’s GNA take the slope it’s a little split little Ridge
In the middle from like back right front left middle and stuff like that so bro there was space for you to finagle this and have a shot at it but you know to each throw you know you GNA play it the way you want to play yeah 11 part five
You got to take 11 this straightforward hole this is they call it the bowling alley it was just straight down if you again if you weren’t birdie in this hole you were losing Strokes to the field so he gets up there does what he has to do
Um ends up a little bit left you know of the hole gets up there chips it up easy easy bird um same thing on number 13 I you know played Short of the um actually back it let me back it up 12 my God so this whole all week was
Driving me nuts I do not this is one of those holes where I was referring to earlier that players refuse to start it out on the left side of this Fairway and Let It Bleed over they were fighting it and going right down the right hand side of the tree line and you
Could tell if they started it right on the tree line just slightly left of the tree line you were going to end up in that right and you were pretty much setting yourself up for a really tough up and down for a par or a bogey killer hole
All week for this man on Sunday to get up there and put it in the Fairway and ended up with the birdie on number 12 not only I think from you know from a Strokes gain perspective do you gain you know you’re probably G gaining close to
Two strokes on the field by birdie in this hole this week yeah nuts definitely um you know somebody else I’m trying to think who else finished very close to the top of the lead that also did something similar and ended up biring uh it was not zator zator ended
Up paring it luk list ended up bogeying or yep he bogey it too can’t lay part it uh sha bogied it it was just a tough hole so to Come Away with a birdie on number 12 superb I think that that probably if not clinched it really you know secured aot you know
That he was going to do well take off from there um number 14 again just ho hum this honestly I watched this you know in in real time this was an incredible shot um this green feeds down to the left so we’re number one his uh
T-shir shot ended up in the middle of the green actually was a little bit more Center ended up catching the slope and rolling down to that point and then you know easyish two putt from there but I can’t tell you again just that shot was
On a rope that was he was playing some golf at this point um and another tough hole 15 a lot of players ended up in the leftand rough all week again I was like where are the cut Cuts bro like where are these cuts that they tell us that
Pro players hit these days because they kept overdrawing this holding on they’d end up in the left hand rough not able to get up and down they were ending up in the front of the green having to scramble for par um so for Hideki to get
On in you know right below the hole like you said flagging it bro yeah easy birdie easy birdie nuts um again another I think that’s why that ended up leading he ended up clinching this you know with a strong lead at the end because again this is two strokes on the
Field um the way people were playing also 16 was playing incredibly tough yeah incredibly tough I think I duplicated the green look there so um but again the boy was balling I mean nuts 17 you had to bird it have to birdie it I mean all three par
FS that they have out there like you pretty much have to birdie like yeah first one it makes you lay up but even then these dudes hitting they three Woods 300 so you telling me they can’t hit it to the end of the Fairway and
Then have and then hit they six or seven iron accurately enough to have a eagle putt or something like that you got 195 in these guys some of these guys are pumping a seven iron in there and just trying to juice it if it’s down win enough or letting it roll out or
Delofting it a little bit but dude I mean that’s one 11 you gotta bro Luke list didn’t even really hit a good drive and still had five iron into the Green from 216 out you know flagged it some serious well he hit the he hit the bunker short right but it was online
Shley hit the same bunker hold out for Eagle you thought he was right back in it but then he fell back off very next hole bogy did now like Sha Sha fle had a clean front nine but had no bogeys no just pared out on the front nine you got
To go get it bro you’re in the lead not in the lead but you gotta go yeah I I I was talking you I was out playing yeah when I was playing today I was like you’re going to see who’s got that killer instinct today when buddies
Start playing together and one can go chase down the other one you’re going to see who’s got the gumption and at the end of the day to me K Klay and shaay both prove that when it comes to the it being it guys I don’t think one they they don’t
They don’t have that dog at all man it’s crazy to me though bro because like bro it’s it’s just like what you said originally bro if we’re if we’re the homies and we’re in a final group some text had been sent they had to have
