NIEMANN AND COX RACK WILL T OFF NEXT. HE WAS A FIRST PLACE FINISH IN THE AS YOUY OPEN AND EARNED HIM IN THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YEAR TIED 4 FOR THE DESERT CLASSIC AND MEXICO TOOK OUT THE TITLE THE FIRST LIVGOLF OF THE SEASON.

HE WAS THIRD IN INTERNATIONAL SERIES LAST WEEK. HIS TEAMMATE ORTIZ WON. WHERE WILL HE FINISH AT LIVGOLF JEDDAH. THE NEXT FEW HOURS WILL DETERMINE THAT. HE HAD AN INVITE TO THE MASTER’S AS WELL. HE IS TWO OF THE FOUR MAJORS. HIS FORM IS HARD TO IGNORE. YEA.

THERE WILL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE THROWING HIS NAME IN THE CONVERSATION IN THE LEAD UP TO THE MASTERS IN AUGUSTA NATIONAL. HE HAS THE TYPE OF GAME FROM A T TO GREEN STANDPOINT, THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE EXPECTED TO PLAY WELL THERE. HE IS COMFORTABLE NOW.

HITTING THE BALL DIFFERENT LOW AND A LITTLE A YEAR AGO HE WAS NOT >> HE SAID THAT AND DRIVING THE BALL FOREVER. >> YEA. >> YOU LOOK HE DOES NOT LOOK SO STRONG. NOT THAT BIG BUT LIKE A PIECE OF TWISTED STEEL. GOT THE STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY.

THERE IS NIEMANN ON THE PUTTING GREEN. JUST GOING THROUGH HIS FINAL DRILLS BEFORE OUR FINAL THREE PLAYERS WILL T OFF ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY. THERE IS A TINGLE OF EXCITEMENT. WHEN YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY THE WHOLE THING IS TURNED

ON ITSELF HEAD A 7 STROKE LEAD WITH 4 SCORES COUNTING CAN DISAPPEAR QUICKLY. FOR STINGER THAT IS A COME BACK AFTER A POOR PERFORMANCE IN LAS VEGAS. JOANNE AMAZING COME BACK. LIKE YOU SAY IN THE TEAM CONTEST WITH FOUR SCORES TO COUNT, WE

HAVE BEEN TRAP IN THE A SITUATION WHERE OFTEN WE THOUGHT WE GOT THE ANSWER AND SOMEONE CHANGES THE QUESTION. >> YEA. >> THAT START IN THE FINAL IN VEGAS 3 SHOTS BEHIND 2 TEAMS THEY WON BY 7. 10 SHOT DIFFERENCE ANYONE IN 11

OR 12 HAS A CHANCE A LONGSHOT CHANCE TO GET IT DONE TODAY. >> THE REST OF THE FIELD 66 OVER. A FEW HIGHLIGHTS OF NIEMANN’S SECOND ROUNDS. 63 ON DAY ONE A SOLID 64 YESTERDAY. A ROUND OR STARTS THE CONTRAST, SIX UNDER AFTER 9 ON DAY ONE.

PARRED OPENING 6 YESTERDAY. THIS IS HIS SECOND SHOT IN THE 10TH. AND THAT HELPED TO SET UP THIS TWO STROKE LEAD OVER SCHWARTZ AND OOSTHYIZEN IS 3 BACK. LOUIE’S SECOND SHOT TO 7. FORMER OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP FINISHED RUNNER UP IN ALL 4 MAJORS AND I SAID THAT NIEMANN

IS IN GREAT FORM. LOUIE IN FANTASTIC FORM SECOND LEFT WEEK. COULD IT BE LOUIE’S DAY TO TAKE HIS FIRST LIVGOLF TITLE? >> PROVEN IF HE GETS HIS NOSE IN FRONT HE CAN BE HARD TO BEAT. WON AN OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP BY 7 OR 8 SHOTS NO ONE MAKES THE GAME

LOOK PRETTIER THAN LOUIE OOSTHYIZEN HE SWINGS QUIET LOW AND BEAUTIFULLY TECHNICALLY PERFECT AND AESTHETICALLY PERFECT. HE IS HEALTHY. IN 2022, EARLY LAST YEAR OF 23, HE WAS BATTLING ISSUES WITH THE ELBOWS AND THE FOREARMS LITERALLY FELT LIKE MIGHT BE A

SWING, WAY FROM SNAPPING A TENDSON AND HIS CAREER BEING OVER A LONG TIME. HE IS HEALTH AND HE COULD GO OUT AND DO SOMETHING SPECIAL TODAY AND MAKE HIS MARK IN THE GAME >> AND HEALTHY ENOUGH TO SHAVE >> REALLY GOOD SIGN

>> JON RAHM IS 9 UNDER PAR. DISAPPOINTED WITH THAT AFTER AN OPENING ROUND SCHOOL HIS BIRDIE UPON AT 15 YESTERDAY. AND JON RAHM IS READY AT THE SECOND HOLE. HIS FIRST OF HOLE FOR HIS APPROACH. >> THAT HOLE IN THE LOWER LEVEL LOOKS LIKE IT IS SCREAMING, COME

AND GET ME. >> YEA. WOW. CAUGHT THAT THICK. NOT SOMETHING YOU SEE VERY OFTEN >> LET’S HEAD OUT ON THE COURSE AND SPEAK TO THE ANALYST AND WHAT TO WATCH 4. SUE ANN, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO TODAY. >> JON RAHM CONTENDED SINCE HE JOINED LIVE.

ONE THING THAT STAND BETWEEN HIM AND THE TROPHY TODAY WOULD BE HIS APPROACH SHOTS OUTSIDE OF 150. HE IS 46TH IN STROKES TO THE FIELD AND THE METRIC. I SPOKE TO HIS CAD FEHE MISSES THE FAREWAY IT IS CHALLENGE TO GET CONTROL OVERNIGHT BALL WITH

GRASS BEHIND IT BECAUSE OF HIS ANGLE OF ATTACK HE IS A SHALLY THROUGH THE BALL ANGLE OF ATTACK. IF HE HITS FAREWAYS THAT COULD BE THE KEY TO HIS SUCCESS >> NIEMANN HIT 11 OUT OF 18 FAIR WAYS AND THIRD IN STROKES GAINED OFF THE T.

HE IS NOT TO UNPLAYABLE AREAS THE BEST IRON PLAYER AND THIRD BEST PUTTER PUT THAT SIGNATURED WITH LEAD AND THE CONFIDENCE HE WILL BE TOUGH TO BEAT. >> DON AND SUE ANN. MORE TO COME. LOUIE OOSTHYIZEN HIS SECOND OF ONE. DOWN WIND OUT OF ROUGH.

NOISE LITTLE SEAT AS WELL. LOUIE’S TEAMMATE BRANDON GRACE REDISCOVERED HIS FORM, 8 UNDER PAR, EAGLED YESTERDAY. THAT’S HIS BIRDIE PUT AT THROW. NOW BACK WITH JON RAHM. SIMPLE UP AND DOWN THAT’S WHAT YOU EXPECT. BUT — WOULD HAVE BEEN EXPECTING A PUTT LIKE THAT FOR BIRDIE. LUCAS. >> YES

>> NEEDED TO GIVE IT MORE. PHIL TO START WITH BIRDIE. THIS WILL BE A BIG MOMENT AT THREE! YES. >> LOOK AT THAT. THE NEW PUTTER IS PERKING FOR PHIL MICKELSON AND GAINS A STROKE ON NIEMANN IMMEDIATELY TO GO TO 8 UNDER PAR. ROUND ONE INCLUDING SICK CONSECUTIVE BIRDIES.

HE IS IN CONTENTION ON THE COURSE WHERE HE WON THE SAUDI INTERNATIONAL LEFT JANUARY. SO. LEAD GROUP FINAL THREE PLAYERS TO T OFF IN OUR STAGGERED CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY. SHOTGUN START. AND JASON KOKRAK WILL T OFF FIRST. 68 A SOLID 68 ON THE OPENING DAY

AND A QUITE BRILLIANT 62 YESTERDAY. HAD A BIRDEF FINAL TWO HOLES. WOULD HAVE BEEN A 59. HE IS A PLAYER IN DECENT FORM. TIE IN THE FIFTH IN LAS VEGAS. HE AND ANCER WHEN PLAYED TOGETHER YESTERDAY A COMBINED 15 UNDER. WE FED OFF EACH OTHER ALL DAY AS BIRD EASE FLOWED.

STARTED TO DRAW. FILL HER UP TODAY, BOYS. OOSTHYIZEN FOR BIRDIE A MOMENT AGO >> OFF TO A FLYER! SOUTH CALF CAGETS TO 11 UNDER PAR, LEVEL WITH ANOTHER SOUTH AFRICAN HIS TEAMMATE CHARLES SCHWARTZEL BACK TO FORM. 7 OVER ALL CONTAINING 8 TOURNAMENTS SLIPED 38 IN THE

FIRST SEASON OF THE LIVGOLF LEAGUE AND CHALLENGING AGAIN THIS SAUDI ARABIA. >> AND A 3 WOULD YESTERDAY BUT DIFFERENT STRATEGY TODAY A DRIVER IT IS OPDRIVER IT IS OFF. A MAN IN MAGNIFICENT FORM. REGARD YESTERDAY’S 64, 6 UNDER PAR, BETTER THAN YESTERDAY WHEN

CAUGHT IT 7 UNDER 63. ONLY ONE BOGEY SO FAR THIS WEEK OUR WINNER AFTER 4 PLAY-OFF HOLES IN VIRTUAL DARKNESS IN OPENING IN MEXICO IN THE BOX SEAT BY 2 SHOTS AND HE IS UNDER WAY OUR CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY. >> AND A VERY GOOD ONE.

COULD BE CLOSE TO THE GREEN. NIEMANN SEEK A THIRD WIN IN LAST 6 WORLDWIDE STARTS AND OPENS AT JEDDAH. FEW MOMENTS AGO KEVIN NA FOR BIRDIE. NOW WE ARE LIVE WITH JON RAHM TO PAR, ON TWO. STINGERS LEAD STRETCHED TO EIGHT SHOTS TO 7.

>> I CAUGHT UP WITH HIS CAD AND HE LEFT A FEW PUTS OUT YESTERDAY. SAW A FEW SHORT UP AND OUT OF IT. HE IS TRYING TO STAY A BIT WITH AND THROUGH THE PUTT. A WEDGE IN YOUR HAND TO A FAVORABLE HOLE LOCATION WAS NOT

EXPECTING THIS FOR PAR. >> NO PROBLEM. SYMPTOM SOLID START FOR JON RAHM HE AND DUSTIN JOHNSON MANAGED TOP 10 FINISH IN BOTH EVENT IN 2024 IN MAYAKEBA EL CAMALEON AND LAS VEGAS. LOUIE STARTED BEAUTIFULLY WITH THIS BIRDIE. GIVEN STINGER AN EXTRA LEAD. GOT HIM WITHIN 2 OF NIEMANN.

HE IS PLAYING FOR A SIZEABLE FADE. WIND COULD HELP IT BUT — UPON CAMERON FOR BIRDIE AT 4, PHIL MICKELSON’S TEAM SEEK A FIRST POPIUM FINISH. THAT WILL HELP. T.’S OFF AT 4 AND HIGH FLYERS ARE 21 UNDER PAR. A TIE FOR SECOND AND 10 BEHIND

THE STINGERS. >> BOUNCER ON THE TWO HE LOOKS LIKE HE IS TRYING TO HIT UP STRAIGHT UP LEFT CENTER. TINY FADE IF THAT. YOU GOTTA TOUCH IN THERE, ALL RIGHT. >> KOKRAK FIRST TO PLAY AT ONE. WITH THAT THROW OFF THE T. HE IS WELL BACK THE OTHERS ARE

30 OR 40 YARDS FROM THE PIN. SAME WIND AS ALL WEEK AND EVERY TIME WE COME HERE THEY SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH THE CONDITIONS. GET DOWN BUT HE LOOKS PRETTY GOOD! >> YEA. I’D SAY. KEVIN FOR THIRD T. DIFFICULT PAR3. PAIR OF 66’S FOR KEVIN THAT’S

GOT THE IRON HEAD IN CONTENTION FOR A PODIUM. DEAN TO GIVE THE STINGERS A FLYER ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY, THAT WAS A FEW MOMENTS AGO FOR BIRDIE AT 4. DEAN, 7 UNDER PARAND STINGER UNDER THEY LEAD BY 9. >> JON RAHM ON THE T AT 3.

>> GOT ANOTHER 7 TO THE BACK EDGE. ALMOST 200. 85, PLAYING 205. >> 210 SHOT I THINK IS PERFECT. >> EXACTLY. TIGHT SECOND HARDEST HOLE. HARDEST TO HIT. INTIMIDATING SHOT STRAIGHT INTO THE WIND. INTIMIDATING HOLE LOCATION >> YEA, DOES NOT HELP. TUCKED IN THE BACK RIGHT CORNER

CLOSE TO THE HAZZARD. GOT A 4 IRON HERE. I THINK HE WILL TRY THIS LEFT CENTER OF THE SCREEN. FADE IT. >> WHERE IT STARTED. >> TRYING TO FADE. >> GOOD SHOT. >> FINE SHOT THERE. BEAUTIFUL LONG IRON. THAT IS A GREAT SHOT. >> AS THAT WAS WANGING OUR

LEADER PLAYED AT ONE. ADRIAN MERONK. BOGEYS THE FIRST HOLE. SPENT A WEEK IN L.A. WORKING ON FOOTWORK. GOT 4 IRON. THE HIGH FLYERS ARE TRYING TO HANG ON TO THE COATTAILS OF THE STINGERS AND DOING OKAY. A GOOD START THAT WAS BRENDON STEELFOR HIS BIRDIE AT 4 THEY

ARE BACK TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA HOW QUICKLY THE TEAM COMPETITION CAN CHANGE WITH ALL 4 SCORES UPON COUNTING. SMASH CAME IN 7 BACK OF STINGER. THAT GAP ALREADY IS NOW 12. >> GOODNESS. >> AND HIGH FLYER ONE OF 4 TEAMS YET TO WIN? THAT WOULD BE A STORY.

>> SEE IF SCHWARTZEL CAN DO THAT HE HAS NOT DONE IT SINCE THE VERY FIRST EVENT WE EVER HAD IN LONDON TWO YEARS AGO. THIS IS OUR POLE TODAY. IF YOU SCAN THE QR CODE AND GET INVOLVED AND THE LIVGOLF + APP. WE HAVE A FIRST TIME WINNER.

TEAM WIN AND ARE INDIVIDUAL WINNER WILL WE HAVE ABOUT THIS? OR NEITHER? IT LOOKS LIKE A FIRST INDIVIDUAL WINNER SO, 55% BELIEVE JOAQUIN NIEMANN WILL NOT TAKE THE TITLE. >> NOR SCHWARTZEL OR GRACE THEY WERE THREE OF THE TOP 10 HAD PREVIOUSLY WALK

>> JASON KOKRAK TO START WITH A BIRDIE. A GREAT DEAL OF CONVICTION IN THAT BUT JASON STAYS AT 10 UNDER. IF YOU DON’T LIKE YOUR BACK SWING UNLIKELY YOU WILL LIKE THE FOLLOW THROUGH THAT GOES WITH IT. LUCAS HERBERT HIS SECOND FOR TWO.

THE GROWN AT ONE AND JOAQUIN TO EXTEND HIS LEAD TO 3 WHAT A START THIS WILL BE. WHY CERTAINLY WOULD BE. KOKRAK PUTT FROM THE OTHER SIDE BROKE HARD FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. YOU IMAGINE JOAQUIN’S GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE JUST A TINY BIT FROM RIGHT TO LEFT.

HE IS AIMING DEAD STRAIGHT. UNLESS COULD START PLAY WITH HIS MIND TEMPERATURE IS EARLY BUT SO IMPORTANT YOU FEEL. YES. >> PUTT. [APPLAUSE] JOAQUIN NIEMANN HAS BEEN SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT IN JEDDAH A LONG WAY TO GO HE LEADS BY THREE. THE OLD SOUTH AFRICAN SQUAD IS

AND IN THE BACK RIGHT. >> IT IS ALMOST AN ADVANTAGE FOR JOAQUIN TO HIT A TEE SHOT BEFORE HIM TO SEE HOW MUCH THIS WIND WILL TAKE IT FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. SCHWARTZEL IS AIMING LEFT OF THE FAIRWAY. >> HE IS NOT FAR OFF FROM WHERE YOU STAND.

FIRST TEE AND MY FATHER TURNED TO THE DOCTOR SAID, DOC, I HAVE TROUBLE SLEEPING I THINK YOU NEED TO GIVE ME A SLEEPING PILL. >> HE SAID I DON’T LIKE TO DO THAT OFF THE BAT THEY CAN BE ADDICTIVE HAVE YOU TRIED COUNTING SHEEP ONE OF THE THINGS THEY DO WITH SHEEP IN

YOU GET TO THE TURN YOU WILL BE ASLEEP, HE SAID I’LL GIVE IT A TRY. THE NEXT MORNING HE TURNED TO MY DAD, BILLY, HOW DID YOU SLEEP? HE SAID NOT GREAT BUT I PLAYED VERY WELL. THE DOCTOR SAID HOW DID YOU GO. HE SAID, WELL A TEE SHOT

THE WEATHER IS SUNNY AND SHOCKER, 86 FAHRENHEIT BUT THE WIND IS GETTING UP. >> IT IS VOLATILE AND CRUSHERS MAKING A SURGE LOOKING FOR A SECOND VICTORY OF THE SEASON. IT IS ALL TO PLAY FOR. LET’S TAKE YOU OUT TO THE COURSE. SU-ANN HENG, YOUR OBSERVATIONS? >> I HIGHLIGHTED JON RAHM

HITTING THE FAIRWAY TO HELP WITH HIS PERFORMANCE OUTSIDE OF 150-YARDS. HE HAS DONE JUST THAT. HE IS HITTING EVERY SINGLE FAIRWAY AND GOING THIS ONE GREEN AND HITTING GREAT IRON SHOTS. BUT THE SHORT GAME COST HIM AN UNFORCED ERROR ON THE TENTH. HE MISSED SOME SHORT PUTTS AS WELL.

AND DO THOSE THINGS HE WILL FORCE HIM TO HOLD THAT LEAD GOING TO THE BACK 9. >> AND JOAQUIN NIEMANN IS LOOKING CALM AND COMPOSED. HE IS LOOKING CALM. >> HOW MUCH FOR GUYS TO MAKE A RUN OUT THERE, HOW MUCH MORE DIFFICULT IS IT BECAUSE OF THE WIND UP AS

STRONG AS IT IS? >> AND EVERY SINGLE YEAR OUT HERE AND TODAY’S LOCATION ARE TRICKIER, THEY ARE TUCKED IN THE CORNERS. AND THE PRESSURE ON IT ON THE BACK 9. >> JOAQUIN NIEMANN IS LOOKING CALM AND THE BALL STRIKE SOMETHING IMPERIOUS. KY NOT DESCRIBE HOW IT WAS, THE WAY THROUGH THE

WIND AND TURNED RIGHT TO LEFT TOWARDS. I STOOD BY THAT GREEN ON THAT SIXTH GREEN I ASKED THE CADDY HE IS JUST A DIFFERENT PLAYER THIS YEAR. HE SAID HE IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLAYER. HE IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD. 9 HOLES LEFT TO PLAY.

THERE ARE TOUGH, 12 TO 16 WILL BE PIVOTAL. CAN YOU MAKE BIRDIES ON 17 AND 18. SO HE CAN GET THROUGH THE HOLES AND EVEN PAR AND 31 THE LAST TWO. HE COULD BE SECURE. >> HE LOOKS LIKE A DIFFERENT PLAYER EVEN WHEN HE WON IN MEXICO. HE HAD A NUMBER OF SHOTS

OUT THERE TODAY. IT IS ONLY A TWO SHOT LEAD. THAT IS NOTHING AS YOU KNOW WHERE THE FIVE IRON. THE SHOT HE HIT WAS MAGNIFICENT. EVEN TO REALLY COMPOSED AND LOOKS LIKE HE HAS A CHANCE TO EVEN STRENGTHEN THAT LEAD, THAT WOULD NOT SURPRISE ME HE STRETCHES THAT.

>> AND AS YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF SWING WITH THE HAND BREAK ON. A LAST AND A TROP FROM THE PENALTY AREA HERE. PERHAPS THAT HELPS HIM LOOSEN UP AND RELEASE THE CLUB BETTER. >> AND JOAQUIN NIEMANN HIGHLIGHTS HERE. AND DOM WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW SOLID HE IS. THIS IS SECOND SHOT AT

THE OPENING HOLE TO GET OFF TO THE HOT START AND GOING TO IT TOUGH FOR HIM TO BE CAUGHT. AND THEN THE SAVE AT NUMBER 3. THEY CAN BE DIFFERENCE MAKERS, DAVE. >> FOR SURE. >> TWO GREAT SHOTS INTO THE FOURTH GREEN MISSES WITH THAT ONE. TAP IN BIRDIE.

AND IN ORDER TO GET IT DONE TODAY. HAS TO DO WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO BUT HE HAS GREAT PURSUERS AND JON RAHM BEING THE MOST IMPOSING ONE OF THEM IN TERMS OF THE NAME AND THE STATURE OF THE PLAYER. THE FRUSTRATION THAT HE SHOWED WALKING UP. WE HAVE SEEN.

HOW IS HE ABLE TO SHAKE IT OFF AND REFOCUS ON THE TASK AT HAND? >> I JUST, AS YOU WERE TALKING TO DOM AND JON RAHM WALKED OFF THE 12th TEE WITH FRUITY LANGUAGE. NOT SURE WHERE THAT WENT. >> A GREAT PLAYER AS YOU SAID WILL BE ABLE TO COMPOSE HIMSELF.

I SAW HIM TAKE A COUPLE OF DEEP BREATHS AND, YOU KNOW, REGATHER HIS THOUGHTS AND FOCUS, HE IS NOT OUT OF IT. HE SAW THAT ON THE 10th. HE KNOWS WHERE HE IS. PLENTY LEFT. YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT. , LET’S GET TO ONE OR TWO JON RAHM HIGHLIGHTS.

LEGION XIII ARE IN THE MIX FOR THE TEAM TITLE. 7 BACK OF STINGER. THIS IS HIS TEE SHOT. A TOUGH WHOLE. THAT WAS MAGNIFICENT. >> THE SECOND SHOT AT 7. THAT WOULD BE BIRDIE. HELLO, I THOUGHT I WOULD JOIN YOU BY THE DESK HERE. >> ALL THE WAY OVER HERE.

>> NO ONE IS MENTIONING LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN, HE IS 2 BACK. >> I DID EARLIER. [ LAUGHTER ] >> CAN YOU SEE HIM MAKING A CHARGE IN THE CLOSING HOLES HERE? >> I THINK THAT HE IS, YOU KNOW, THE FAVORITE MAYBE TO PUT A LITTLE PRESSURE ON JOAQUIN NIEMANN W JON RAHM NOT

PLAYING WITH JOAQUIN NIEMANN. HE WOULD LOVE TO BE IN THAT GROUP TO TRY TO EXERT SOME PRESSURE ON HIM. I THINK THAT LOUIS IS THE ONE MOST LIKELY TO GET NEAR HIM. >> HE IS THE CAPTAIN OF TEAM STINGER WHO EXTENDED THEIR LEAD OF 7 TO 10 AT

ONE STAGE BUT IT HAS BEEN CLAWED BACK TO 6 BUT THEY ARE, AS A GROUP, A QUARTET PLAYING WELL. THIS IS HIS SECOND SHOT INTO 2. LOOKING FOR A FIRST TEAM VICTORY SINCE LAST SEASON IN TULSA WHERE THEY EDGED THE 4ACES, BURMESTER IS PLAYING VERY WELL TODAY. HE IS 1 UNDER PAR.

AND BRANDEN GRACE GOT THINGS STARTED WITH AN EAGLE AFTER CHIPPING IN. SECOND INTO 10 AND CHARL SCHWARTZEL HE WON THE EVENT IN LONDON WAY BACK WHEN AND STINGER WON THE INAUGURAL TEAM EVENT. THEY HAVE ALWAYS ABOUT OR THEREABOUTS. THEY ARE COMPETITIVE AND FOUR PERSONABLE SOUTH AFRICANS BUT THEY HAVE THE COMPETITIVE SPIRIT.

AND IN TERMS OF LENGTH AND TYPE OF SHOT NEEDED. WIND DEPRESSION. ET CETERA, ET CETERA. , HE DOESN’T GO TO THE RANGE AND SPEND ANY TIME ON THE PRACTICE DRIVING RANGE HERE AND PRACTICE GREEN. HE GOES STRAIGHT HOME. DOESN’T BELIEVE HE WILL GET MUCH OUT OF PRACTICING, CRAMMING IT IN.

DOES ALL THE WORK WAY BEFORE HAND. >> THE GREAT PLAYERS ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. GREG NORMAN TOLD ME THAT YEARS AGO, PLAYED IN A TOURNAMENT AND THE OLD NEW ORLEANS TOUR STOP. IT IS ALL THE GUYS TRYING TO FIND IT OUT THERE ON THE PRACTICE FIELD AFTER. >> SEBASTIAN MUÑOZ FOR

TORQUE AT BIRDIE FOR 7 SEE IF THEY CAN CLIMB THROUGH A PODIUM POSITION. DANLY LEE A WINNER, JUST ABOUT A YEAR AGO FOR THE IRON HEADS, HE WON IN TUCSON. USING THE FLAG STICK AND RATTLING IT HOME. >> I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU CAN GET THIS CLOSE. >> AND NOT HELPING.

>> THAT’S A GOOD EFFORT. >> PRACTICING LATE ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEFORE A TOURNAMENT THAT’S CALLED PANIC TIME. >> TRYING TO DANCE AROUND THAT, DOM, THANKS. >> I HAVE BEEN THERE MANY TIMES. >> JOAQUIN NIEMANN NEXT. >> HE HITS THE LOW WIDTH SPIN. HE NEEDS TO DO THAT HERE.

IT WILL KICK TO THE RIGHT. GET IT ON THE TOP LEVEL. >> AND HE HAD THIS FOR BIRDIE AT NUMBER 6. >> THAT’S REMARKABLE THAT IS PAST. THE THING IS HOW GOOD HIS TOUCH HAS BEEN AROUND THE GREENS. ANTHONY KIM. THAT GOES AWAY IN A MATTER OF WEEKS OR MONTHS

BUT HE HAS IT SOLID. THIS IS PAUL CASEY FOR EAGLE. >> A HUGE TEE SHOT THERE. >> AND THEY ARE ONLY 6 UNDER PAR. CRUSHERS ARE SURGING ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY SEEKING A SECOND TITLE OF THE SEASON ALREADY. >> WE’LL GET BACK TO THE HOLE. HOLD THAT THOUGHT. SINGER ARE BACK TO 34 UNDER.

THE GAP IS NOW 4. THIS IS FAR FROM DONE. LOUIS, THOUGH, CAN RE-ESTABLISH THAT FIVE-STROKE LEAD WITH THIS OPPORTUNITY AT 11 HE WOULD GET TO WITHIN ONE OF JOAQUIN NIEMANN. >> HE WILL LET US KNOW IF A WHIFF OF ANY PLAYOFF. >> SCHWARTZEL ON THE 10th. >> ANTHONY KIM OFF THE

BACK AS A PRO WITH A PAR AT 14. HE DOESN’T MANAGE TO. >> I THINK HE PROVED SOMETHING TO HIMSELF THIS WEEK. I DO. THAT IS — I MEAN, IN YOUR MIND FOR A DOZEN YEARS ARE YOU NO LONG AREA GOLFER AND NEVER WILL BE AGAIN AND THEN HE

HAS THE COURAGE TO DO THIS BECAUSE OF HIS DAUGHTER, BECAUSE OF HIS FAMILY AND THE LOVE OF THE GAME BACK TO HIM. WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE HIM DOING IT OUT HERE. >> LITTLE FLICKERS, ENOUGH TO CONVINCE ME THAT HE CAN DO THE IMPOSSIBLE. CHARL SCHWARTZEL ON 17. TRAILS JOAQUIN NIEMANN BY 2.

>> IT HAS TO GO IN AND STAY TWO SU-ANN. >> ANTHONY, TWELVE YEARS OF THE GAME YOU LOVE, HOW DO YOU ACCESS YOUR FIRST WEEK BACK? >> HONESTLY, IT IS A ROUGH WEEK, I AM EXCITED TO PLAY PROFESSIONAL GOLF AGAIN. I FEEL BLESSED I HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY.

I HAVE A LOT TO WORK ON. I HAD A LOT OF GOOD THINGS GOING MY WAY THIS WEEK AND LOOKING FORWARD TO BUILD FOR THAT AND BEING IN CONTENTION AT SOME POINT THIS YEAR. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE POSITIVES THAT YOU CAN TAKE

WITH YOU TO HONG KONG? >> I DEFINITELY HIT THE BALL WELL AND DOING A LOT OF THINGS WELL THE I KNOW THE SCORE DON’T REFLECT THAT. I KNOW LUCK BUILDS ON AND I AM GOING TO KEEP DOING WHAT I AM DOING.

>> WHAT HAS IT MEANT TO HAVE YOUR DAUGHTER AND WIFE BOTH HERE TO WATCH YOU BACK DOING WHAT YOU LOVE? >> IT MEANS EVERYTHING. I WOULD NOT BE HERE WITHOUT THEM. I FEEL BLESSED THAT I HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE MEMORY WITH MY FAMILY.

THIS EXPERIENCE IS AMAZING AND EVERYONE AT LIV IS FIRST CLASS AND I FEEL HONORERED BEING APART OF THIS MOMENT. >> WE OF HAVING YOU HERE. >> AK, HE’S 11 PAR OVER 11 HOLES. TODAY THIS WAS THE BIRDIE AT TWO. HE’S A WILD CARD FOR THE

REMAINER OF THE 2024 SEASON. HE HAS THE TIME TO WORK ON THESE GAMES. THAT WAS HIS SECOND SHOT AT FIVE. WE STARTED TO SEE SOME OF THE OLD MATCHING. HIS THIRD SHOT OUT OF THE BUNKER AT NINE. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SHOT THAT WAS.

AS HE SAID MAYBE ON THE SCOREBOARD IS NOT REFLECTED, BUT HIS PERFORMANCE WAS ENCOURAGING INDEED. CHARLES SCHWARTZEL. >> OUR TWO-TIME CHAMPIONSHIP BROOKS KOEPKA. HE ROUNDS OFF 66 TODAY. BROOKS AND HIS TEAM SMASH GC. JON RAHM, SECOND OF ONE. >> WELL, THIS COULD BE THE DAGGER.

WELL PLAYED JOAQUIM NIEMANN. THAT’S A BIRDIE FOR HIM AND THE LEAD IS THREE WITH ONE TO PLAY. >> BIRDIE THERE, DAVID, AGAINST A GUY YOU ARE PLAYING WITH TWO BACKS, YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND TO MAKE BIRDIE. YOU GOT TO GET EVEN IN YOUR HEAD.

HE CAN PLAY FOR PAR AFTER HE SO DESIRES, TORQUE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THEY CAN GET ON THE PODIUM AT THIS POINT. THE REST OF THE FIELD FINISHED. SO, THE TEAM ASPECT DOES NOT ENTERS MIND. >> SHE WAS HITTING THE BALL EXTRAORDINARY WELL THIS WEEK,

RIGHT TO LEFT, HIGH, LOW. PENETRATING FLIGHTS. THERE WAS NEVER ANY SORT OF PLAYOFF HERE AND NOT EVEN A MERE WIDTH. >> NO. >> SHOT AT 18 FOR LOUIE. >> HE NEEDS TO MAKE FOUR HERE IF HE’S SNEAKING INTO SECOND PLACE. [CH [CHEERS] SCHEWARTZEL KEEPING THE POSSIBLE FINISH TODAY.

IT IS GOING TO HELP HIM HUGE AT THE END OF THE YEAR. JOAQUIM NIEMANN IS ABOUT TO TEE OFF. HE’S AIMING THE MIDDLE OF THAT LEFT BUNKER. THIS GUY IS GOOD, HE HITS WHERE HE’S AIMING. >> THERE ARE SOME RUMORS OUT THERE. HE’S PRETTY GOOD.

>> THERE IS THAT DRAW HE DIDN’T HAVE. THAT MAY SUIT HIM PRETTY WELL OUT OF GEORGIA IN A MONTH. >> HE WAS ASKED YESTERDAY AFTER HIS ROUND, WHERE HAVE THE IMPROVEMENTS BEEN MADE? HE SAID THE DRIVING IS SO GOOD, HE SAID I AM CONFIDENT

THAT I CAN BE AGGRESSIVE AND HE’S CHIPPING MUCH BETTER AS WELL. HE ENDS WITH A BIRDIE. 11 UNDER PAR FOR THE POLISH PRINCE. KOKRAK IS THE ONLY SMASH PLAYER OUT IN THE COURSE. LOOKS LIKE BATTLING FOR SECOND PLACE. OOSTHUIZEN IS STILL OUT THERE

FOR THE SOUTH AFRICAN ON 18. JON RAHM TRYING TO FINISH UP WITH A BIRDIE. THIS WOULD SQUEAK HIM IN AND TIE FOR THIRD MORE THAN LIKELY. IF HE’d BEEN ABLE TO HOLD SOME OF THOSE. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT IN IT. >> AH.

WE’LL GIVE YOU AG SQUINT OF THE LAST HOLE HERE. PAR FIVE. SECOND SHOT OVER WATER IF YOU DECIDE TO GO AT IT. JERRY, I WILL BE INTERESTED TO FLAG ON THE FRONT THERE TODAY. IF JOAQUIM NIEMANN LAYS UP, HE’S PROBABLY GOING TO DO WITH A SANDWICH.

>> THERE WILL BE NO LAYING UP THERE. RIGHT BUNKER MAY BE THE TARGET. >> YEAH, RIGHT BUNKER, YEAH, YEAH. >> ANY TIME, ANY INITIATIVE IS AVAILABLE ON THE WEB. EVERY GROUP WILL BE COVERED LIVE WITH AI INFORMED GRAPHICS. FANS, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SEE

ANYTHING YOU WANT, JUST SWITCH FROM GROUP TO GROUP. LATER THIS YEAR, WE’LL EXPAND THE FEATURE TO INCLUDE AT THE LIV GOLF PLUS APP ON ALL DEVICES. THERE WILL BE A TEAM VIEWING WITH A FOUR BOX AND ANY SHOT CALL FEATURING REPLAY WITH A

CLICK OF A BUTTON SO YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT IN HONG KONG AS OF FRIDAY, WE ARE BACK-TO-BACK. >> WELL, THERE IS A BIG PUTT HERE FOR LOUIE OOSTHUIZEN. THIS WILL GET HIM 13 UNDER PAR. >> YEAH, THAT’S A GOOD FINISH FOR LOUIE.

13 UNDER FOR THE TOURNAMENT AND STINGER, THEY GO INTO SECOND PLACE. A STROKE AHEAD OF SMASH BUT IT WILL BE DISAPPOINTMENT FOR THE SOUTH AFRICANS TONIGHT. SU-ANN BACK TO YOU. >> YOU GUYS SHOT SIX UNDER YET AND TODAY YOU COLLECTIVELY SHOT 20 UNDER. WHAT HAPPENED UNDER NIGHT?

>> OUR TEAM IS SUCH – HOW DO I SAY IT? WE HAVE A LOT OF RESOLVE. WE COME BACK FROM TOUGH, CHARLES, PAUL, AND VONN NEVER GIVES UP. WE KNOW EVERYDAY WE CAN GO SUPER LOW AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN SHOCK THE SYSTEM OF LIV.

WAIT A SECOND, THESE GUYS ARE PRETTY SOLID. PROUD OF CHARLES FOR THE WAY HE CAME BACK AND PLAYED TODAY. I WAS CLAPPING. HE COUNT NOT HEAR ME. EVEN THOUGH I AM PLAYING WELL, I AM STILL ROOTING FOR EVERYBODY ELSE. >> WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE OF YESTERDAY AND TODAY?

>> THE DRIVER FACE WAS FLOPPING A LITTLE BIT AND I LOST CONTROL OF IT. I PUT A NEW DRIVER IN AND A LITTLE STRAIGHTER TODAY AND I MADE A COUPLE MORE PUTTS. >> THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMEBACK IN LIV, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT? HOW

PROUD ARE YOU OF YOUR TEAM? >> TODAY WAS A TOUGH DAY. WINDY OUT THERE. THE GOLF COURSE IS NOT EASY. IF YOU GET OFF A LITTLE BIT, IT CAN MAKE YOU LOOK FOOLISH. I WAS PROUD OF THE TEAM. BRYSON SETTING AN EXAMPLE OUT THERE, HE KEPT MAKING BIRDIES.

I KEPT WATCHING ALL THE BIRDIES HE WAS MAKING AND I TRIED TO KEEP UP BUT COULD NOT DO IT. >> CONGRATULATIONS, GUYS, HAVE FUN, THE CHAMPAGNE IS FREE. >> A REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE. JASON KOKRAK SEEKING TO DENY STINGER, SECOND PLACE. THE TEAM SMASH. BROOKS KOEPKA.

>> CHARLES SCHWARTZEL WILL BE NEXT. JOAQUIM NIEMANN DRIVEN IT SO FAR UP HERE, HE ALMOST DROVE IT INTO THE WATER. >> DAVID, HAVE YOU LOOKED AT YOUR YARDAGE BOOK, IT IS 416 FOR THE WATER. >> YEAH, YEAH. >> HE DID IT AT 410. >> REMARKABLE.

I THINK HE’S TRYING TO LOCK UP SECOND PLACE ALL BY HIMSELF. YEAH, IT IS THE RIGHT PLAY. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT NIEMANN HITTING A SANDWICH TO LAY UP. >> DOM, WITH OUR COMMENTARY BOX HERE FACING THE GREEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE

FAIRWAY, THIS IS THE FIRST BALL OF TEE SHOT WE HAVE BEEN SEEING ALL WEEK OUTSIDE OUR WINDOW CH – THE LEFT OF HIS BALL. IF YOU HIT ANY BALL AND YOU WANT TO HIT WEDGE, YOU CAN HIT WEDGE. DON’T YOU AGREE? LET’S SAY WE WANT TO PITCH 170.

STRAIGHT WIND. STRAIGHT DOWN. IF YOU JUST WANT TO HIT SOMETHING. IF IT GOES INTO THE BUNKER, IT IS STILL NOT THERE, YOU ARE CHIPPING BACK INTO – WELL, PITCHING AT 70, DON’T YOU THINK THERE IS PLENTY OF WIND SO THERE GOES 150. LOVE IT.

GO AHEAD AND HIT IT. >> THE A GREAT JOB FROM GARY MATTHEWS BOTH IN MEXICO AND HERE. THAT’S WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR, I LOVE IT. GO AHEAD. >> WELL, THAT’S THE WORSE HE MADE ALL WEEK AND HE’S FINE. LUMP IT OVER THAT WATER.

>> HIGH ON THE PHASE AND OFF THE HILL A LITTLE BIT. WHEN THAT BALL LANDED ON DRY LAND, GARY WAS A HAPPY MAN. THAT SEALS THE DEAL. >> SCHWARTZEL NEXT ON 18. JASON KOKRAK AND CHARLES SCHWARTZEL REPRESENTS SMASH AND STINGER. >> LIV GOLF FANTASY IS BACK

WITH AN EXCITING FORMAT THAT OFFERS MULTIPLE WAYS TO WIN. PICK YOUR TEAM. WATCH YOUR TEAM CLIMB THE PYLON. YOU CAN WIN GREAT PRIZES AND GET BRAGGING RIGHTS OVER YOUR PALS OR FAMILY. IT IS ANOTHER GREAT WAY TO ENJOY THE GREAT GOLF OF LIV.

>> JOAQUIM CAME IN WITH A FINAL DRAW HERE WITH A TWO TEAM ADVANTAGE. JASON KOKRAK LEVELLED PAR FAR FOR HIS ROUND. HAVING CAUGHT TODAY MAGNIFICENT 62 TO GET INTO CONTENTION. A CHANCE TO ROUND HIS WEEK OFF FOR THE BIRDIE. THEY DO A TEAM TIE BREAKER

FOR THE PODIUM POSITION BUT NOT FOR THE POINTS. THE POINTS ARE SPLIT. SECOND OR THIRD TOMB ACTIVITY. SIZABLE, EACH WEEK ONLY PAID OUT TO THE TOP THREE TEAMS. YOU LOOK AT THAT COLLECTIVE OF TORQUE. THEY WERE SPRAYING CHAMPAGNE OVER EACH OTHER LAST WEEKEND

AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN HERE TODAY. I AM JUST LAUGHING. >> HE’S GOT THE PUTTER OUT WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU SHOULD DO. IF YOU NEEDED TO MAKE FOUR, YOU CERTAINLY WOULD NOT BE HITTING THIS CLUB. BUMPING UP THERE ON THE GREEN SOME WHERE.

THAT’S JUST GORGEOUS. WORTHY CHAMPION ONCE AGAIN. TIME FOR AFTERNOON TEE. THEY’RE INCHING A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE PODIUM AS THEY PREPARE TO RAISE ANOTHER TEAM FRO TROPHY. >> IT WILL BE A LITTLE IN QUEST OVER THE BRIGHT TONIGHT. STINGER PLAYS HOW THEY MANAGE TO TOLESSEN EVERY NIGHT.

SUCH SPECTACULAR FASHION. JASON KOKRAK. HE WOULD TIE INDIVIDUALLY FOR FIFTH IF HE MAKES THIS. THAT’S WORTH DOLLARS AND POINTS TO HIM INDIVIDUALLY. SO, STINGER WILL FINISH SECOND, SMASH THIRD BEHIND THE CRUSHERS. THE STAGE IS CLEAR. FOR JOAQUIM NIEMANN. >> WHAT A WONDERFUL POSITION TO BE IN.

JOAQUIM NIEMANN CAN GO TOE TO TOE WITH MY PLAYER ON THE PLANET NOW. THIS SENSATIONAL FROM SANTIAGO IS IN THE FORM OF HIS LIFE. HE’S WON TWO OUT OF THE THREE LIV TITLES SO FAR THIS SEASON. HE’S WINNING IN JEDDAH GOING AWAY FROM THE FIELD.

HE ENDS ON 17 ON PAR. HE WINS BY FOUR SHOTS. 63. 64, 66. DOMINANT VICTORY FOR JOAQUIM NIEMANN. DOWN TO YOU, DOM. >> THREE WINS AND THREE MONTHS, YOU ARE THE HARDEST PLAYER ON THE PLANET. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU AND YOUR CONFIDENT? >> IT IS HUGE.

OBVIOUSLY WE GOT ANOTHER WEEK TO COME NEXT WEEK. I TELL MYSELF THAT I CAN PROBABLY WIN THAT I AM PLAYING NOW OVERSEAS. IT IS A GOOD START. I GOT NEXT WEEK TRYING TO DO THE SAME AND PLAY GOOD GOLF AND SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING.

>> DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ONE OF THE FAVORITES TO WIN A MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP. >> HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? THERE ARE HUNDREDS IN THE WORLD. >> BUT YOU ARE NOT. YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT AND YOU KNOW THAT. YOU ARE THE HOTTEST PLAYER ON

THE PLANET RIGHT NOW, NO QUESTION. >> I MEAN – I AM MORE THAN HAPPY ABOUT THE WAY I AM P PLAYING, I JUST WANT TO KEEP DOING THE SAME AND KEEP DOING THE SAME PRACTICE AND HIT THE SAME WAY AND YEAH, PRETTY PROUD OF THE WAY I PLAYED ALL

WEEK. WE WERE CLOSE TO BE ON THE PODIUM WITH THE TEAM AND YEAH, THAT WAS – THE SECOND SHOT THERE WAS MORE, I DON’T KNOW HOW TO SAY THE CORRECT WAY BUT NORMALLY I WILL GO FOR THE GREEN. I WAS JUST TRYING TO —

>> YOU HIT THAT DRIVE 410 YARDS. IS THAT THE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR GAME THIS YEAR? YOUR CADDY TELLS ME YOU ARE PLAY A DIFFERENT GAME. >> YEAH, 100%. IT IS A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING. THE MOST IMPROVED IS MY DRIVER, A LOT LONGER AND STRAIGHTER.

SO, I THINK I AM BEING COMFORTABLE AND COMFY HITTING THOSE SHOTS. LAST TWO DRIVER WERE IMPRESSIVE. I CARRY 330 OR 340 ON 14. IT WAS NOT THE DRIVER AND SAME HERE. REALLY HAPPY THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING. >> HE PLAYED GOLF AROUND THE WORLD AND WINNING IS TIRING.

HOW IS YOUR ENERGY LEVEL? DO YOU NEED A BREAK SOON? >> I WANT TO KEEP GOING. CONGRATULATIONS, GREAT PLAYING. ONE MORE WEEK NEXT WEEK IN HONG KONG. IT IS A GOOD ONE. >> YES, SIR, WE’LL SEE EVERYBODY THERE. >> CONGRATULATIONS, GREAT PLAY.

>> HE’S PLAYING THE FLAG FOR CHILE IS A NATION. >> SOUTH AMERICA AS A CONTINENT. HERE OVER HIS BIRDIE AT 18, KNOWING THAT HE SEALS THE VICTORY AND HE EXTENDS THE FINAL MARGINS TO FOUR STROKES. VICTORIOUS IN MEXICO AND A FOUR-HOLE PLAY OFF OF THE

START OF THE SEASON. HE WINS HIS SECOND WITH A FOUR STROKE VICTORY HERE IN JEDDAH. REMEMBER IN MEXICO, THAT INCLUDED AN OPENING ROUND OF 59. IS THERE A BETTER PLAYER ON THE PLANET RIGHT NOW THAN JOAQUIM NIEMANN? >> YOU CAN’T SAY THAT.

OVER LAST THREE MONTHS, HE’S BEEN ABSOLUTELY UNSTOPPABLE. HE HAS NOT FINISHED OUTSIDE OF THE TOP. ANY EVENTS HE’S PLAYED AGAINST WORLD CLASS FIELD, HE’S THE BEST PLAYER THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. HE DECIDED CLEARLY THE END OF LAST YEAR IN THE LIV GOLF

LEAGUE BY HIS OWN ADMISSION THAT HE DIDN’T PLAY BEST GOLF. HE’S GONE AWAY AND HE’S PLAYING GOLF AROUND THE WORLD AND THAT ARE QUALIFIED HIM FOR THE OPENING CHAMPIONSHIP, CLEARLY FOR JOAQUIM, HE’S A YOUNG PLAYER AND HE KNOWS HIS TALENT. IT IS TOUGH BECAUSE HE CAN’T

GET THE POINT TO QUALIFY. THAT GOT HIM INTO THE OPENING CHAMPIONSHIP. HE GOT INVITES IN BY VIRTUE AND THE GENERAL FORM AND ACTIVITIES THAT HE DISPLAYED HE CAME IN SECOND AND WON LAST WEEK. HERE IS A MAN THAT’S PREPARING TO HONE HIS GAME.

>> YOU HAVE TO HOPE THAT THE RULING BODY AND THE PEOPLE YOU ARE GOING TO PLAY IN THE MAJOR HAVE A SUDDEN ATTACK OF COMMON SENSE SENSE. YOU WANT THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD AND YOUR TOURNAMENT AND CHAMPIONSHIP, YOU HAVE TO HAVE JOAQUIM NIEMANN.

>> SORRY, GUYS, RORY AND EVERYBODY ELSE. IT DESERVES AN ASTERISK. >> GOLFING FANS AROUND THE WORLD DESERVE TO SEE IT. AS WELL. HERE ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS FROM TODAY. HE CAME IN WITH A TWO-STROKE ADVANTAGE AFTER OPENING ROUND, 63 AND 64. HE JUST LOOKED CALM AND COLLECTED.

HE OPENED WITH A BIRDIE. YOU MENTIONED DAVID WHEN HE WON IN MEXICO, IT WAS UP AND DOWN IN THE FINAL ROUND WAS IT? >> HE LEARNED A LOT FROM THAT. THIS IS HIS BIRDIE AT TEN. I WANTED TO — PARTICULARLY AT THE 9TH AND THIS WAS

SECOND AT 16 AS HE WAS CLOSING IN ON VICTORY. LOUIE OOSTHUIZEN AND CHARLES SCHWARTZEL COULD NOT CLOSE THE GAP. SECOND FOR 17 HERE FOR JOAQUIM. >> PART OF IT, JERRY, WHERE HE MISSED ON 16 WAS THE PERFECT SPOT WHERE HE MISSED ON 17.

HE DID EVERYTHING RIGHT. >> THE WINNING MOMENT. A MOMENT THAT EXTENDED HIS WINNING ADVANTAGE TO FOUR STROKE AND TORQUE PLAYERS AT 17 UNDER PAR, AHEAD OF LOUIE OOSTHUIZEN AND CHARLES SCHWARTZEL AND BOTH 13 UNDER PAR. THEY’RE LEFT BLOWING A SEVEN STROKE ADVANTAGE.

DID THEY BLOW IT? JUST SMASHING FROM THOSE, LEAD PEOPLE AT HOME TO DEBATE THAT. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OVERALL SCORES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TEAM THAT PLAYS LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE TODAY. THEY DIDN’T BLOW IT. >> THE CRUSHERS TOOK OUT THE

TEAM’S TITLE IN STAGGERING FASHION. IT IS THE GREATEST COMEBACK ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY ON LIV GOLF HISTORY. THEY WERE 11 BACK STINGER OVER NIGHT. THEY WERE 20 UNDER PAR TODAY. THEY WON BY FOUR. BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU CAUGHT AN EIGHT UNDER PAR, 62. THIS IS CHARLES, 64 FOR HIM TODAY.

HERE IS BRYSON AGAIN. 63 ON FRIDAY, 73 YESTERDAY AND HE MENTIONED HIS DRIVER REPLACED IT TODAY AND LOW AND BE HOLD, OH, YIPPIE HE SAID, 62 TODAY. >> THAT WAS FANTASTIC GOLF. ONE UNDER PAR, 69. YOU LOOK AT THEIR FORM FROM TOWARDS THE END OF LAST SEASON.

SECOND IN GREEN BRIAR AND SECOND IN BEDMINISTER AND HERE. THEY WON AGAIN HERE, SMASH TAKE THIRD PLACE BEHIND STINGER GT. WHN YOU HAD THREE OF THE LOWEST FOUR SCORES OF THE ENTIRE DAY ON YOUR TEAM, YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE A MOVE.

>> HOW IMPRESSIVE WAS THAT, DAVID? WOULD YOU CONSIDER A BLOWN OPPORTUNITY BY STINGER OR THEY COULD NOT LIVE WITH CRUSHERS TODAY? >> I THINK IT WAS A COMBINATION OF BOTH. THEY WERE AMAZING ON SOME DAYS WHEN IT COMES AND WHEN

THEY GET THEIR BACKS AGAINST WALL. THEY PRODUCE THE BEST. THOSE ARE THE SIGNS OF CHAMPIONS. >> THE TOP 14 IN THE TEAM’S COMPETITION AT THE END OF 13 ADVANCE TO THE REGULAR SEASON THAT’LL GET THEM BY THROUGH THE FIRST ROUND OF THE SEMIFINALS OF OUR SEASON

ENDING TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP. THE CRUSHERS STARTED THE SEASON VERY WELL AS THEY LOOK TO DEFEND THE TITLE THEY WON IN SPECTACULAR FASHION IN MIAMI AT THE END OF LAST SEASON. TODAY IS ALL ABOUT THE CRUSHERS, MAINLY ABOUT JOAQUIM NIEMANN AND HIS FORM. A SECOND VICTORY IN THREE GIV

EVENT THIS SEASON. LET’S SEND YOU DOWN TO THE PODIUM FOR THE PRESENTATION. >> HELLO, JEDDAH, IT IS NOW TIME TO MEET YOUR TOP THREE. THIRD PLAY FROM STINGER GC, CHARLES SCHWARTZEL, BACK TO FORM AND IT IS GREAT TO SEE THE WINNER OF THE INAUGURAL

EVENT IN LONDON BACK IN JUNE OF 2023. HE SLIPPED DOWN 38. LOUIE OOSTHUIZEN COMES CLOSE ONCE AGAIN. STAYING UP WITH INDIVIDUAL FINISHES FOR SECOND AND THIRD DIDN’T SEAL THE DEAL IN THE TEAM’S COMPETITION. JOAQUIM NIEMANN, THERE HE IS AGAIN ALL SMILES. HIS THIRD WIN IN SIX

COMPETITIONS WORLDWIDE. HIS SECOND VICTORY AT ABOUT THREE LIV GOLF COMPETITION. HE’S IN MAGNIFICENT FORM. HE’LL GO TO HONG KONG LOOKING TO WIN THREE OUT OF FOUR AND AFTER THAT, OF COURSE, HE HAS THAT INVITE TO AUGUSTA TO COMPETE IN THE MASTERS AND INDIVIDUALS WILL EXIT STAGE LEFT.

WE’LL WELCOME CRUSHERS GC ONTO THE PODIUM ONCE AGAIN. WHAT A PERFORMANCE BY THEM? BRYSON CALLS THEM HIS BROTHERS. CHARLES HOWELL III AND BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU A.LAHIRI AND PAUL CASEY. THEY’RE STARTING A DYNASTY HERE. GETTING NON-ALCOHOLIC CHAMPAGNE IS GREAT. THE CRUSHERS WITH THE GREATEST COME BACK ON

CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY IN LIV GOLF’S TEAM HISTORY FROM 11 BACK TO WINNING BY FOUR. THEY ARE YOUR CHAMPIONS IN JEDDAH. THEY WON IT WITH JOAQUIM NIEMANN ALREADY AND THEY CERTAINLY ARE NOW. CRUSHERS WIN THE TEAM EVENT. THE MASTER TOURNAMENT BEGINS IN 36 DAYS. IT CERTAINLY DOES.

WE GOT A SMALL MATTER OF LIV GOLF HONG KONG FIRST. WE CAN’T WAIT FOR THAT. JOAQUIM NIEMANN TAKES CHARGE. THE CRUSHERS WITH ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREAT CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY, 20 UNDER PAR TO TAKE VICTORY OVER STINGER BY FOUR. FOR THOSE WATCHING THE USA

AND AROUND THE WORLD, IT IS TIME TO SWITCH OVER TO THE LIV GOLF POST ROUND SHOW WHICH COULD BE FOUND GLOBALLY ON THE LIV GOLF PLUS OR YOUTUBE CHANNEL. OVER IN THE USA AND THE CW APP. WE’LL SEE YOU AGAIN NEXT WEEK FOR LIV GOLF HONG KONG.

FOR NOW, GOOD-BYE FROM JEDDAH. >> AND THAT’S A WRAP, DAY THREE HAS COME TO AN END, THE BEST OF THE BEST IN GOLF FACEOFF IN THIS FINAL DAY. BOY, DID WE HAVE A SHOW, JOAQUIM NIEMANN TWO OUT OF THREE LIV GOLF TOURNAMENT.

WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT. WELCOME, I AM YOUR HOST IS CHRISTIAN CROSBY. JOINING ME IS DOM, WHO HAD AN AMAZING INTERVIEW WITH JOAQUIM NIEMANN. YOU WERE BLOWN AWAY. LET’S TALK ABOUT IT. >> I AM EMOTIONAL IN A SENSE THAT I CAN’T BELIEVE SOMEONE

CAN PLAY GOLF IN THAT LEVEL. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF GOLF IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, SOME OF THE BEST GOLF PLAYED IN THE GAME. THAT WAS SUBLIME, FROM THE FIRST TEE TO THE 18TH, HE HAD COMPLETE CONTROL OF HIS EMOTIONS AND COMPOSED AND

SOME OF OF THE SHOTS HE HIT OUT THERE WAS RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. HE MUST BE ON CLOUD NINE CONFIDENCE WISE. HE’S THE BEST PLAYER THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. >> HE WAS COMPLETELY FOCUSED AND YOU HAD THE HONOR FOLLOWING HIM AROUND ALL DAY TODAY.

>> IT WAS AN HONOR. >> I GOT TO KNOW HOW THAT WAS. WHAT DID YOU OBSERVE. >> COMPARED TO MAYAKOBA. HE HAD A TWO-SHOT LEAD HERE. YOU ALWAYS CAN TELL WITH THE GOLFER WHEN THEY’RE SORT OF ITCHY OR WHATEVER. HE WAS NOT. HIS EYES WERE – NO TENSE IN

THE FACE. HE WAS READY TO DO BATTLE TODAY. >> YOU LOOKED RIGHT IN HIS EYES AND YOU TOLD HIM HE WAS THE BEST GOLFER IN THE WORLD AND HE SHRUGGED IT OFF. >> WELL, HE MADE JOKES ABOUT IT. HE’S GOT A GOOD SENSE OF

HUMOR AND HE PLAYED SOME GAMES AND GOOD ON IT. >> LET’S GET INTO THE HIGHLIGHTS. TAKE US THROUGH IT. YOU WERE RIGHT THERE. MAYBE WE’LL SEE YOU IN THE BACKGROUND SOME WHERE. >> THIS IS A GREAT TEE SHOT ON WHY HE MISSED. AS I SAID ON THIS GOLF

COURSE, YOU ARE GOING TO MISS A LOT OF FAIRWAYS BECAUSE OF WAY THE FAIRWAYS ARE ANGLED. HE MISSED IT ALL IN THE RIGHT SPOT. TWO GREAT SHOTS AT THE PAR FIVE. HE DID EVERYTHING CORRECTLY TODAY. IT REALLY APPEARS THAT HE’S GETTING BETTER AND BETTER WITH EACH DAY.

>> WE PUT ON THE PERFECT SPOT. HIS SHORT GAME NOW IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT AND HE WAS CONCERNED ON THIS TEE SHOT ON 16. OF COURSE, HE’S GOING TO HIT RIGHT AND THIS ON 17. THAT TEE SHOT, I CONFIRMED WITH HIS CADDY, HE KNEW

ABSOLUTELY WAS AND HE COULD NOT GIVE HIMSELF AN EASIER SHOT. >> AND ON 18. >> ONLY TEN YARDS DRY ON 18. THE WORLD LOVES JOAQUIM NIEMANN. LET’S CHECK IN SOME SOCIAL POST, SEEMS TO BE WHAT EVERYBODY IS TWEAKING ABOUT NOW. THERE HE GOES.

JOAQUIM NIEMANN IS VERY GOOD AT GOLF. THAT’S AN UNDER STATEMENT AT THIS POINT, RIGHT? ON THE PLANET. OH, ON THE PLANET. >> THEY JUST COPY AND PASTE WHAT YOU SAID IN THE POST THERE. >> HE’S MY MASTER PICK, TOO. >> GOT TO LOVE THESE TWEETS. KEEP THEM COMING.

IF OU WANT TO SEE YOUR HAND ON HERE, LET US KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING. JOAQUIM NIEMANN RECEIVED AN INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MASTER, RISING STAR TO SAY THE LEAST. HE WAS EXCITED TO KNOW HE’LL HAVE A SHOT AT THE GREEN JACKET. CHECK THIS OUT.

>> I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET AN INVITE. >> YOU WANT TO PLAY THE MAJORS? >> I AM JUST READY. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST NEEDED TO BE TOP 50 AND TRYING TO DO THAT AND PLAYING A LITTLE BIT MORE. >> WELL, YOU ARE GOING TO GET

IN. COMING FROM AUGUSTA AND THEY NEEDED ADD VERBAL YES FROM ME SAYING THAT I CONFIRM AND ACCEPTED THE INVITATION. >> MASTERS INVITE LAST WEEK FOR JOAQUIM IN CHILE AND THAT. >> IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER. >> ALL RIGHT, HERE IS ANOTHER TECH.

I WANT TO SEE JOAQUIM TOP IT OFF WITH A WIN WITH THE MASTERS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT, TOO. KEEP THE TWEETS COMING HERE, WE GOT THE SOCIAL GOING. WE ENCOURAGE IT. I AM ON SOCIAL ALL DAY LONG. IF YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY,

YOU WANT TO SEE YOURSELF ON TV. HERE IS ANOTHER ONE ON JOAQUIM NIEMANN ABSOLUTE DOMINANT BY MY MAN ON TORQUE. THERE IS REALLY NO DISPUTE. GOT TO LOVE THAT AND COMPLETELY AGREE. >> A BEAUTIFUL VIEW IN SAUDI ARABIA AT JEDDAH. YOU HAVE BEEN SUPER BUSY AND

JERRY, WE HAVE BEEN ROCKING. >> HE’S BEEN SLACKING. SU-ANN, YOU HAVE BEEN EVERYWHERE TODAY. >> I HAVE, I HAVE SEEN EVERY CORNER AT THIS COURSE. I STARTED WITH JON RAHM, HE WAS ONE OF THE BIG NAMES THAT WE THOUGHT GOING TO CHASE AFTER JOAQUIM.

HE GOT OFF A REALLY GOOD START AND JUST THAT MOMENT ON THE TENTH OF THAT PITCH, I THINK THAT JUST COMPLETELY TOOK THE WIND OUT. >> THE SIMPLE PICK OUT OF THE SLOPE THAT NEEDS RELEASE AND HE PROBABLY GOT A TAP IN BIRDIE AND HE WALKED AWAY

WITH BOGEY. YOU OBSERVED IT AND LISTENED AND WALKING OFF THE GREEN HOW IT UPSETS HIM. HE DIDN’T LET IT SLIDE OFF AS QUICKLY AS WE MAY HAVE EXPECTED FROM HIM NORMALLY. >> A PLAY AT HIS CALIBER, THAT’S A FORWARD SHOT. HE GAVE HIMSELF A PERFECT ANGLE.

WHAT I NOTICED FROM THE FIRST PUTT. HE’S STILL NOT OUT OF IT BY THE WAY, HE WAS JUST SO – HE DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO COMPOSE HIMSELF. WHEN HE GOT OVER THAT FIRST PUTT, YOU CAN TELL THE FRUSTRATION. AND WHEN YOU GET UPSET AND

YOU JUST LOOK UP. IT WAS JUST A POOR FIRST PUTT. I THINK THAT JUST COMPLETELY TOOK THE MOMENTUM OUT OF HIS GAME TODAY. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK NEEDS TO CHANGE GOING INTO HONG KONG? IS IT A MENTAL THING? >> HE’S JON RAHM. NINE ROUNDS OF GOLF NOW.

HE’S GOING TO WIN OFTEN. WE DON’T SEE THAT OFTEN IN GOLF. WE SEE IT MOST O THE MAJORS NOW AND EVENTUALLY ALL OF THEM AGAIN. WHAT WE HAVE OUT HERE IS A COLLECTION, A DENSE COLLECTION OF MANY OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS IN THE GAME.

THEY PLAY AGAINST EACH OTHER EVERY WEEK AND THEY ONLY GET 13 CHANCES A YEAR TO BEAT EACH OTHER. >> I DON’T THINK THEY HAVE THAT TIME TO MAKE A MISTAKE LIKE THAT ESPECIALLY WITH 54 HOLES. YOU DON’T PLAY 72, RIGHT? SO,

YOU HAVE LESS TIME TO MAKE THOSE MISTAKES. ANY TIME YOU MAKE A MISTAKE AT A TIME JON DID TODAY, IT JUST CAUSED YOU. >> YEAH, IT IS WORLD’S CLASS, COMPETITIVE TOP LEVEL GOLF. IT IS DIFFERENT FORMAT THAN MAYBE TRADITIONAL GOLF PEOPLE ARE USED TO, 54 HOLES BEING A

BIG PART OF IT AND A FAIRNESS OF A SHOT GOT IS A BIG PART OF IT. >> AFTER JON, YOU WENT TO OOSTHUIZEN, HOW WAS THAT? HE DID SUCH A GREAT JOB. >> HE HAD SO MUCH MOMENTUM ALL THE WAY TO THE 13TH HOLE.

HE GOT TO THE 13TH HOLE I BELIEVE IT WAS WHEN I JOINED HIM. HE’S JUST AN EIGHT IRON THERE AND HIT A TERRIBLE SHOT. I WATCHED HIM YESTERDAY AND SWINGING THE CLUB BEAUTIFULLY, THAT WAS THE MOMENT FOR LOUIE THAT TOOK THE WIN OUT OF HIS SAIL.

IT EXPOSES OUT HERE AND THE FIELD THAT WE HAVE, YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO MAKE THOSE MISTAKES AT THAT POINT IN THE COMPETITION. >> MUCH LIKE JOAQUIM THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS PLAYING THE BEST GOLF OF HIS LIFE AND LOUIE AS WELL. >> AND SECOND LAST WEEK.

>> ONE OF THE BIGGEST STORIES COMING IN THIS WEEK WAS ANTHONY KIM AND HIS DEBUT. YOU GOT TO SPEAK WITH HIM AFTER HIS FINAL ROUND. I WANT YOU TO TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT. >> I WAS NERVOUS AS HELL. [LAUGHTER] >> YOU ARE NERVOUS?

>> I WAS NOT READ THROUGH MY QUESTIONS THREE TIMES. IT WAS SUCH AN HONOR TALKING TO HIM. WHEN I WAS A KID, I WATCHED HIM PLAYED IN HIS PEAK. AND TO BE IN HIS PRESENCE, YOU CAN TELL THE GRATITUDE FROM HIS RESPONSE AND HOW

GRATEFUL HE IS TO BE BACK OUT HERE DOING WHAT HE LOVES. I GOT TO TALK TO HIS WIFE, EMILY, RIGHT BEFORE I GO TALK TO HIM AND SHE WAS SAYING HE’S DOING GREAT. HE’S SO HAPPY. HE’S REALLY ENJOYING BEING OUT HERE AND IT REALLY SHOWS.

IT SHOWS IN HIS EXPRESSION IN THE INTERVIEW. HE’S GOT A LOT OF WORK LEFT AHEAD, HE KNOWS THAT AND HE’S READY FOR IT. >> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY WE WATCHED ANTHONY KIM GREW UP RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES. WE DIDN’T. HE WAS GONE FOR 12 YEARS AND

THE NEXT TIME WE SAW HIM, HE WAS A DIFFERENT PERSON AND A MATURE PERSON. HE PROVED ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY THE FACT THAT HE’S PROFESSIONAL GOLFER AGAIN. I WANT TO START WITH THE TEAM’S COMPETITION. WE STARTED WITH CRUSHERS WITH SEVEN AND CRUSHERS AS CHAMPIONS. THAT’S CRAZY.

>> THEY WERE 11 BACK. >> LET’S ACTUALLY GET INTO THEIR HIGHLIGHTS AND CHECK OUT THIS UNBELIEVABLE COMEBACK STORY FROM CRUSHERS GC. LET’S TAKE A LOOK. >> WELL, WE’LL KICK IT OFF WITH BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU, THIS IS HIS SECOND SHOT ON THE 8TH. HOLD OUT. HELLO!

HE STRUGGLED YESTERDAY. >> THE LATEST VICTIM. >> WHY DID YOU CALL HIM A VICTIM? >> HIS SECOND IN NUMBER SEVEN. THEY ARE ROLLING 20 UNDER PAR A TEAM. IN THESE CONDITIONS, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME CHARLES ON THE 13TH. HE’S A SOLID PUTTER, IS HE?

>> BRYSON AT 18 FOR AN EAGLE. THERE IT IS. >> GREAT SLIDE. >> I HAD TO THROW IT IN THERE. BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE. >> DIFFERENT ERA. WHAT A FANTASTIC FINAL ROUND FOR CRUSHERS. 20 UNDER COLLECTIVELY FOR THAT TEAM. THAT’S SOME SERIOUS GOLF, JERRY.

THERE WAS A 62 TODAY FOR BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU. 264 TODAY, ONE OF THEM IN THEIR TEAMS AND THE NEXT BEST SCORE IS 65. THE VISUAL OF TODAY LOOKS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. HERE IS A SCORE, IF YOU WILL LOOK AT CRUSHER GC, LOOK AT HOW THEY SKYROCKETED. OH MAN.

>> ALL RIGHT, LET’S GO OVER TO SOME SOCIAL POSTS HERE FROM SOME OF OUR FANS HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGING IT. YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN POSTING IT. GOING CRUSHERS CRAZY. KEEP THEM COMING FANS. THIS IS CLUB 54 POST SHOW. >> ALL RIGHT, THANKS TO LIV GOLF FILLED WITH INFORMATIVE

LESSONS FROM THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE WORLD. TAKE A LOOK. >> HEY, GUYS, THIS IS CAM SMITH. >> I AM BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU. >> I AM BUBBA WATSON AND WELCOME TO MY LIV LESSON. IF YOU ARE LIKE ME MISSING FAIRWAYS, THIS IS WHEN THE CREATIVITY COMES OUT.

>> FOCUSING ON THE TARGET. >> THAT’S WHAT I AM FOCUSING ON. >> HEY, THE MAN. I WANT TO MAKE IT AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE. >> HE’S FOR SURE ONE THING YOU NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON. >> CAM SMITH IS TAKING COMPLETE CONTROL HERE.

>> I LIKE TO AIM THE PUTTER AND I LOOK AT MY STANCE AND HIT THE PUTT. BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU ELECTRIFIES THE GROUND. >> THERE ARE A LOT OF MYSTERY AROUND HITTING IT REALLY FAR. >> THAT’S WHEN PSYCHO MODE COMING IN. TRY TO GET PSYCHO WITH IT.

>> LET YOUR BODY MOVE IN MORE AND DON’T FEEL LIKE YOU ARE RESTRICTED. WHEN YOU CAN DO THAT, YOU ARE ON A BETTER WAY TO GOLF. ♪ >> YOU GUYS MENTIONED THAT FAIRWAY TO HEAVEN PAUSE, IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE ANY FAVORITES FROM THE SEASON,

GIVE ME A QUICK ANSWER. THEY’RE LOOKING AT EACH OTHER. >> OH. THIS IS TOUGH. >> THEY’RE ALL – >> THEY’RE ALL MY FAVORITE. >> YOU HAD TO PICK ONE. >> THEY’RE ALL MY FAVORITE. >> MY FAVORITE IS MY CO-HOST. >> MY FAVORITE IS JERRY. >> VERY DIPLOMATIC ANSWERS,

YOU TWO. WE COULD NOT HAVE A POST ROUND SHOW WITHOUT THE ONE AND ONLY RACHEL DRUMMOND. LET’S CHECK IN WITH RACHEL. WHAT’S GOING ON? >> HI, TEAM, I AM OUT ON THE GOLF COURSE. WHAT A CHAMPION? I CAN’T BELIEVE NIEMANN, HE CAN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG.

WE’LL TALK ABOUT THE PARTICULAR SHOT HE HAD ON THE 6TH. 118 FIVE YARDS. I AM ABOUT TO HIT IT AGAIN. FIRST OFF, WE ARE GOING TO SEE SHOT. WE’LL TALK WHAT ABOUT HE DID GREAT HERE WE GO. JUST BETWEEN THE BUNKERS. IT IS GOING TO MAKE IT G

HIGHER INTO THE WIND. IT IS SUCH A GOOD SHOT. HIS CADDY SAYS IT IS GOOD. OKAY, WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS AND I AM GOING TO TALK YOU THROUGH HOW YOU CAN NAVIGATE THIS SORT OF SITUATION AND I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU A FEW TIPS.

COME WITH ME. SO, WE HAVE 100 AT EACH FIVE YARDS. IT IS AT LEAST A TWO-CLUB WIN TODAY. NUMBER ONE, PEOPLE AT HOME ALWAYS THINK OF THE ENVIRONMENT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU. >> WE CAN SEE IT IS SLIGHTLY UP. WHICH IS NOT IDEAL WHEN YOU

ARE PLAYING INTO WIND. ALWAYS LOOK BEFORE YOU PICK THE CLUB. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF WIND THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO GO TWO CLUBS. WE SAW WITH THE GREENS, THERE IS A LOT OF ROOM RIGHT FOR A PIN. IT IS GOING TO HELP ME

NAVIGATE A RIGHT START LINE AND HELP BRING. AS IT MOVES BACK, IT STARTS GOING RIGHT. AS WE SAW IN NIEMANN’S SWING, HE’S ALMOST GOT THAT FOLLOWED THROUGH. IT IS GOING TO HELP KEEPING THAT. TRY AGAIN. >> MY CREW IS LOOKING AT ME LIKE YEAH.

>> I AM STANDING BEHIND PICKING MY START LINE. GETTING THE CLUB FACED DOWN FIRST AND ZONE IN. BOTH POSITIONS SLIGHTLY BACK. I WILL TAKE THAT. IT IS IN THE BUNKER. SOMEONE IS TELLING ME IT IS IN THE BUNKER. WE’LL GO THROUGH THIS ONE MORE TIME.

SO, AGAIN, ALWAYS REMEMBER PEOPLE AT HOME THAT YOUR ENVIRONMENT IS GOING TO DICTATE THE SHOT THAT YOU NEED TO PLAY. IT IS GOING TO ADD LUCK. WE NEED MORE CLUB. YOU GOT A LEFT PIN, WE DON’T WANT TO GO LEFT. YOU ARE GOING TO PICK THE

RIGHT SIDE OF THAT GREEN. PULL BACK. IN THE BUNKER. OKAY, LET’S HAVE ANOTHER LOOK AT HIS SWING FACE ON. I AM GOING TO TELL YOU A FEW THINGS THAT HE DOES TECHNICALLY, WHICH I WANT YOU TO TRY AT HOME. STAY CENTER, PEOPLE AT HOME, PUT YOUR HEAD AGAINST THE

WALL ON THE BACK SWING. YOU CAN SEE THROUGH IMPACT HOW STABLE HIS LEFT SIDE IS AND SLIGHTLY. IT IS JUST POETRY EMOTION. GIVING YOU SO MANY TIPS THERE. REMEMBER THE ENVIRONMENT IS GOING TO DICTATE THE STROKE YOU NEED TO PLAY. TAKE THAT ALL IN.

NIEMANN, YOU ARE SO GOOD. CAN YOU COME HIT THE SHOT FOR ME, PLEASE. >> RACHEL, YOU DO SUCH A GREAT JOB. >> SHE COULD HAVE GONE OUT THERE AND FOUND A SHOT AND TEACH FROM AND REPLAY. SHE GOES FOR AN UPHILL AND INTO THE WIND AND FAIR WHEEL

WOOD. >> PUTTING HER MONEY WHERE HER MOUTH IS. GOT TO LOVE THAT. AS WE LOOK BACK AT DAY THREE, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WILL REMEMBER MOST TODAY? >> I AM GOING TO GO FIRST. IT IS GOT TO BE AK, HAVING HIM BACK PLAYING AFTER 12

YEARS, A GUY I LOOK UP TO SO MUCH IN MY LIFE AND MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER, TO HAVE HIM OUT HERE AND WATCH HIM AND SEEING HIM BALLS AGAIN IS AMAZING. >> HOW ABOUT YOU, JARED? >> I HAVE THE FIRST THING THAT CAME INTO MY MIND.

YOU SAID ONE OF THE BIGGEST STORIES COMING OUT OF THE WEEK, IT IS THE BIGGEST STORY IN GOLF UNTIL WE GET TO MAJOR SEASON. ANTHONY KIM RETURNING TO PROFESSIONAL GOLF OUT OF NOWHERESVILLE. I JUST WANTED TO SEE HIM AGAIN AND BEING ABLE TO WATCH HIM PLAY GOLF AGAIN.

WE ARE TREATING IT LIKE A DEITY OR SOME SORT. HE’S A THREE-TIME WINNERS ON THE PGA AND HE’S CHARISMATIC AND WE GET TO SEE HIM AGAIN AND WATCHING HIM CLIMB OUT OF THAT. >> IT WAS A GOOD TIME, OUR NEXT STOP IS HONG KONG.
