SO MORE ON THE LOGISTICS OF EXACTLY WHAT WE CAN EXPECT TOMORROW. LET’S A VERY GOOD EVENING TO DIXON WHO’S HAD A VERY LONG, WET DAY, BUT WHAT’S THE LATEST? >> YES, ANNA, I’VE HAD BETTER DAYS OUT ON THE PGA TOUR BUT WE
ARE VERY LUCKY TO GET TO DO THIS, SO I SPOKE WITH STEVE, CHIEF REFEREE AT THE PGA TOUR. THE GOLF COURSE AT PGA NATIONAL TOOK ON 1.72 INCHES OF WATER TODAY AND ABOUT THREE AND HALF HOURS AND THE CORE STRAINED
VOICE OF THE PLAYERS WERE ABLE TO GET BACK AND RESUME THEIR ROUNDS. AS WE THINK ABOUT TOMORROW MORNING, 8 A.M. AS YOU MENTIONED WILL BE OUR START TIME AND THEY ARE HOPING TO END BY 11 A.M. THE ONLY THING THAT MIGHT
PRESENT AN ISSUE FOR TOMORROW IS IF AND IN THE EVENT TOMORROW THERE IS A PLAYOFF, APPARENTLY THE WEATHER IS PRESENTING A POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS FROM 12 TO 5:00 P.M. TOMORROW EVENING, SO IF THERE ARE ANY DELAYS OR IF THEY GO LONGER THAN 11:00 A.M., WE
STARTED FLIRTING WITH A BIT OF RISK THERE, SO FINGERS CROSSED EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY WE WILL BE ABLE TO FINISH EVERYTHING UP BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON. >> THEY WILL BE SLIPPING A COMING BACK AND THEY ARE CHASING A 1500 OR SEVEN HOLES
AND I KNOW THAT YOU JUST HAD A CHANCE TO CATCH UP WITH THEM MOMENTS AGO AND WHAT CAN YOU TELL US? >> AUSTIN IS IN HIS SECOND YEAR ON THE PGA TOUR AND HE’S FIGHTING HIMSELF IN A POSITION WHICH IS A BIT FAMILIAR TO HIM
AND HE WAS IN A POSITION LAST YEAR WHEN HE WENT OUT IN THE LAST GROUP AND JASON DAY ENDED UP SHOOTING NINE UNDER THAT DAY WINNING THE GOLF TOURNAMENT AND HE IS VERY MUCH APPLYING THOSE LESSONS TO THIS FINAL ROUND AND
I SPOKE WITH HIM EARLIER ABOUT THE START THAT HE HAD TODAY. >> WAS ABLE TO MAKE BIRDIES AND REALLY SOLID OF THE REST OF THE WEEK HAS BEEN. >> WHAT HAS YOUR TIMING BEEN LIKE TODAY BECAUSE YOU TIMEOUT AND WANT TO HAVE YOUR NORMAL
WARM-UP BUT THEN THE RAIN DELAY HAPPENED AND WHAT HAS THAT BEEN LIKE SITTING HERE AND WAITING ALL DAY? >> IT’S BEEN WEIRD. I STARTED MY WARM-UP AND THE HORN BLEW BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET MY FOUR WARM-UP AND ONCE I GOT
WARMED UP AND GOT BACK OUT TO THE GOLF COURSE, IT WAS A NORMAL DAY BUT THE FACT THAT I STARTED AT 5:00 WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. >> YOU MENTIONED PHIL AND SHAKY. IS THERE A WAY THAT WHEN YOU PREPARE TONIGHT, DO YOU SEE
TOMORROW AS A FRESH START? >> THAT’S WHY I WANTED TO FINISH THE SEVENTH HOLD THIS EVENING. I WANTED TO MAKE IT AS MUCH IS A NORMAL ROUND AND I’M GOING TO START ON MY DRIVER IN THE EIGHTH HOLE AND I’M GOING TO GO
IN TOMORROW LIKE IT’S A BRAND- NEW DAY. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. FOR AUSTIN, IT WILL BE A FRESH START IN THE MORNING AND HE WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY IT WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. HIS WIFE SALLY HAS PHONE IN AND
HIS AGENT IS HERE AND THEY WILL BE WALKING ALONG TO POTENTIALLY CELEBRATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON. >> NOT EXACTLY THE PERFECT WAY FOR A SUNDAY TO PLAY OUT BUT AN EXCITING MONDAY AND SOME MORE GUYS IN THIS BUILDING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND GO HOME
AND GET DRY AND HAVE A NICE, WARM SHOWER. THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON WE HAVE SEEN HORRENDOUS WEATHER ON THE PGA TOUR. THE WEST COAST WAS ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL AND THIS WAS PAYABLE BEACH AND SUNDAY NEVER HAPPENED. 60 MILE-PER-HOUR WINDS AND JUST
TERRIBLE STUFF. >> THE WIND CAN REALLY BLOW IF YOU ARE A PGA NATIONAL, BUT IT DIDN’T TODAY AND THAT IS A GOOD THING. 1.7 INCHES FOR THE DAY IS A LOT. >> YEAH. >> THIS IS THE SCENIC AS WELL.
JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, THAT WAS CANCELED. IN FEBRUARY. WHAT WAS GOING ON. AND IT WAS JUST AN ABSOLUTE MESS OUT THERE AND THIS IS THE DAY. JUST TRYING TO GET AFFECTED AND NOT SURE IF HE’S GOING TO BE
OPEN BUT THEY STILL HAD A GOOD TIME OUT THERE AND ULTIMATELY AS WE MENTIONED, A 3 1/2 HOUR RAIN DELAY, SO THAT IS TOUGH FOR THESE PLAYERS, ESPECIALLY IN A FINAL-ROUND WHEN YOU HAVE A BUNCH LEADERBOARD AND HOW DO THEY BUILD THAT AND ESPECIALLY
NOT FOR THE LIKES OF HIM COMING BACK IN AND SLIPPING ON THE LEAD? >> I FEEL ALMOST AS BAD FOR THE FANS AS I DO THE PLAYERS. PLAYERS ARE OUT THERE PLAYING FOR A LOT OF MONEY IN THE FANS
ARE PLAYING A LOT OF MONEY TO GO WATCH THEM PLAY AND IT WAS AN AWKWARD DAY FOR THEM AND THEY DIDN’T GET TO SEE THE GOLF THAT THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE GOING TO. I’VE BEEN IMPRESSED WITH THE AUSTIN.
THEY TALK ABOUT THEM AND IT’S COME UP A COUPLE OF TIMES WHERE HE WAS LEADING GOING INTO THE FINAL ROUND AND GOT RAN DOWN BY JASON DAY BUT THERE WAS AN INSTANT ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO THAT NOBODY HAS TALKED
ABOUT MUCH AND THAT IS AFTER 36 HOLES AUSTIN AT GROVE WAS TIED FOR THE LEAD AND HE WAS PLAYING EXTREMELY WELL AND ON THE WEEKEND HE PLAYED HORRIBLE. HE WENT OUT AND SHOT ONE OVER PAR ON A PRETTY EASY GOLF
COURSE OVER THE WEEKEND AND IN THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS, HE GAVE 3 1/2 STROKES AND HE LOST 3 1/2 STROKES ON SATURDAY AND ONLY MADE ONE BOGEY IN THE FIRST 36 HOLES AND MADE A BOGEY AND A DOUBLE AND A LOT OF THAT WAS
WHERE THE PUTTER LET HIM DOWN ON THE WEEKEND. SO THE QUESTION IS, CAN HE COME OUT NOW IN THE SITUATION THAT HE IS IN, PRODUCE A MORE AND PUTT A LOT BETTER AND HE HAS SHOWED ME THAT HE CAN ALREADY TODAY.
HE LOOKS VERY COMFORTABLE, VERY SOLID AND SO WHERE HE MIGHT NOT LEARN MUCH FROM HAVING RAN DOWN BY JASON DAY IN TEXAS, LAST YEAR I THINK HE WOULD HAVE LEARNED A LOT. HE SEEMS PRETTY COMMON HIS ANSWERS ARE SHORT IN HIS
INTERVIEW AND HE DOESN’T WANT TO MESS AROUND WITH ANY OF THIS AND HE’S GOING TO FOCUS ON THE JOB AND THAT RIGHT NOW FOR HIM IS TO WIN THIS TOURNAMENT. >> HE DOESN’T DIE VOLTAGE MUCH, BUT HE’S A VERY CONSISTENT
PLAYER ALL WEEK LONG AND HE’S BEEN IN THE TOP THREE AFTER EVERY ROUND SO FAR AND AT THE MOMENT HE IS Y

if you are Austin David Skinns or Shane Lowry who was -13 at the start of the round, you wanted it to be reduced to 54 holes. I think officials will be panicking cause they know looking at the leaderboard the chances of a playoff are good. Weather hasnt treated the pga tour nicely. I think if we had a solo leader after 54 holes it would be OVER!.
