GYPPED: WELCOME TO THE SPRINGTIME TRADITION DOWN MAGNOLIA LANE WHERE THE SKIES HAVE CLEARED. BUT FIRST, THIS MORNING, WE HAD TO FINISH THE THIRD ROUND AND THE OVERNIGHT LEADER BY FOUR, BROOKS KOEPKA PICKED UP A BIRDIE THERE WITH THAT PITCH AT THE EIGHTH. HE WOULD MAKE THREE BOGEYS IN

THE MORNING AGAINST THAT ONLY BIRDIE, INCLUDING THE THREE-PUTT AT THE 17TH. THE BIGGEST MOVE WAS MADE BY NORWAY’S VIKTOR HOVLAND. THIS CHIP AT THE 12TH. PART OF A FIVE-BIRDIE SPREE. FIVE IN A ROW FROM 11 THROUGH 15 FOR HOVLAND AND THEN HERE HE IS SAVING PAR AT THE 17TH.

MEANWHILE, THE WAKE-UP CALL FOR JON RAHM. THIS WAS HIS FIRST STROKE OF THE DAY AND HE DROPPED IT FOR A BIRDIE WHILE KOEPKA MISSED A PAR PUTT SO RIGHT AWAY THERE WAS A TWO-SHOT SWING. HE WOULD BACK IT UP WITH THIS PUTT AT THE EIGHTH FOR BIRDIE. THE LEAD AGAIN, WHICH BEGAN AS

FOUR AT ONE TIME SHRUNK TO ONE. AT THE END OF ROUND THREE, IT WAS A TWO-SHOT MARGIN. KOEPKA AND RAHM ARE PAIRED TOGETHER IN THE FINAL ROUND AND THEIR ROUND WILL COMMENCE IN ABOUT A HALF HOUR. YOU HAVE MORIKAWA, WITH THE SENSATION, THE U.S. AMATEUR CHAMPION WHO WAS IN THE LAST

GROUPING FOR THE THIRD ROUND, SAM BENNETT PLAYING WITH MORIKAWA. THEY’RE TEEING OFF SHORTLY. MATSUYAMA AND HENLEY. MATSUYAMA, PAST CHAMPION HERE, PAST LOW AM. BOTH OF THESE GENTLEMEN ALSO PAST LOW AMS AT AUGUSTA. HOVLAND AND CAN’T LIVE. AND THEN YOU HAVE THE TWO HEAVYWEIGHTS, KOEPKA AND RAHM, TWO OF THE BIGGEST BRUCE IN

THE — BRUTES IN THE GAME FROM TWO DIFFERENT TOURS GOING HEAD TO HEAD. IT’S WARMING UP BY THE HOUR HERE. IT WAS REALLY CHILLY IN THE MORNING. IN THE 40’S, WIND CHILLS IN THE HIGH 30’S BUT NOW THE SUN IS BREAKING THROUGH AND IT’S A DIFFERENT COURSE, A DIFFERENT

FEEL WHEN THE SUN IS OUT AT AUGUSTA NATIONAL. SO PLEASED TO BE JOINING TREVOR IMMELMAN, THE 2008 WINNER, AS OUR LEAD ANALYST. IAN BAKER-FINCH, THE OPEN CHAMPION. VERNE LUNDQUIST AT 16. FRANK NOBILO AT 14. DOTTIE WITH THE FINAL PAIRING. AND AMANDA RENNER WILL HAVE MANY OF THE INTERVIEWS POST ROUND.

SO THE BREEZES ARE STILL THERE BUT AGAIN THE CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO IMPROVE AND IT’S GOT THAT SPECIAL FEEL AS WE GO OUT TO LIVE ACTION AT THE SECOND HOLE. IAN: WITH THE HOLE LOCATION IN THE SAME PLACE WE’RE SO USED TO SEEING IN VERY RIGHT-HAND CORNER OF THE GREEN AND DEFENDING CHAMP

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER FOR EAGLE. VERY WELL DONE FROM THAT FAR WATCH IT’S BEEN HIS PUTTING THAT’S LET HIM DOWN A LITTLE BIT THIS WEEK. UNUSUAL TO BE SAYING THAT ABOUT SCOTTIE. AND HERE WE ARE WITH JORDAN SPIETH AT THE FIFTH. JIM: HE’S LOOKING FOR A BIRDIE HERE, IAN. AND HE FINDS IT.

HE WALKS IT IN. SPIETH WITH TWO BIRDIES. MAKE THAT THREE BIRDIES TO GO AGAINST A BOGEY AT THE FOURTH. SO HE’S PICKED UP A COUPLE OF SHOTS AND MOVED INTO A TIE FOR 12TH. BACK AT TWO. IAN: SO QUICK. AND THAT WAS OUR U.S. OPEN CHAMPION MATT FITZPATRICK PUTTING DOWN THE HILL.

JIM: SOME OF THE HEADLINES HERE. KOEPKA GOING FOR HIS FIFTH MAJOR. FOR THAT LONG STRETCH, 23 MONTHS, HE WON FOUR MAJOR TITLES. THE KNEE ISSUES DERAILED HITCHED FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. RAHM WON AT TORREY PINES IN 2021 TO WIN HIS FIRST MAJOR. AND EARLIER THIS MORNING, TIGER WOODS NOT ABLE TO GO.

A DIFFICULT WALK FOR HIM. A HEAVY-FOOTED WALK FOR EVERYONE IN THESE SOGGY CONDITIONS AND TIGER TRIED TO GO THROUGH HIS ROUTINE AND PHYSICALLY NOT ABLE TO GO. THAT COMING AFTER HE MADE THE CUT AT THE END OF ROUND TWO TO EXTEND HIS CONSECUTIVE MADE CUTS STEAK TO A RECORD-TYING 23 CONSECUTIVE MASTERS.

>> FORE, PLEASE. NOW DRE’ING, COLLIN MORIKAWA. JIM: COLLIN MORIKAWA, TREVOR, HE STARTS THE FINAL ROUND SEVEN BACK. THE GREATEST MASTERS COMEBACK OF ALL TIME WAS EIGHT SHOTS. JACKIE BURKE, 1956 FROM EIGHT BEHIND. TREVOR: AND IF HE WANTS TO DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THE START IS INVITELY — VITALLY IMPORTANT.

WIND HELPING AND OUT OF THE RIGHT HERE AT THE FIRST. >> FORE, PLEASE. NOW DRIVING, SAM BENNETT. JIM: HE WON HIS U.S. AMATEUR AT RIDGEWOOD IN NEW JERSEY. HE’S 23 AND A SENIOR AT TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY. AND HAILS FROM NEARBY MADISONVILLE, TEXAS. ALREADY ASSURED OF A VISIT TO

BUTLER CABIN LATER TODAY AS THE AM AMATEUR TO MAKE THE CUT. JOINING SOME OTHER LEGENDARY NAMES WHO HAVE BEEN THE LOW AM AT THE MASTERS. YESTERDAY HE BEGAN ROUND THREE, HE DROVE IT LEFT INTO THE TREES. OVERCOMPENSATES HERE, IT APP APPEARS. BEST FINISHES BYHAMTURES IN MASTERS HISTORY WOULD BE SECOND PLACE.

SECOND ALONE FOR VENTURI BACK IN 1956. THE ONE WE JUST MENTIONED, THE JACKIE BURKE ONE AND AGAIN, WE SEND ALONG OUR BEST WISHES TO MR. BURKE. TURNED 100 JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. THAT 1956 WINNER. FRANK STRANAHAN AND CHARLIE C OH, E ALSO THE GREAT DISTINCTION AS AN AMATEUR.

TREVOR: THAT’S HIS COACH, CLAUDE HARMAN III WATCHING ON. JIM: WHAT DID YOU SEE THIS MORNING FROM RAHM? TREVOR: HAD FOUR LONG PUTTS IN A ROW TO GET THINGS GOING BUT ONCE THEY TURNED THE CORNER TO THE SECOND NINE, THAT PUTTER SURE COOLED OFF AND THE TWO PUTTS AT

THE PAR 5’S, 13 AND 15, HE’S GOING TO WANT TO CLEAN THAT UP FOR THIS FINAL ROUND. JIM: HAD JUST 99 YARDS INTO THE 13TH GREEN. HAD A POOR PITCH. THE ONE AT 15, HAD A POOR SECOND SHOT THAT GOT ACROSS THE WATER BUT LEFT HIM 93 FEET AWAY.

SO IT’S GOING TO BE A MASSIVE ACCOMPLISHMENT TO GET DOWN IN TWO BUT YOU’RE RIGHT, THREE-PUTTED THEM BOTH. HOVLAND NOW LEAVING THE PRACTICE FACILITY AND HEADING TO THE PUTTING GREEN. BACK TO TWO. IAN: AND STILL ONE OF THE ONLY PLAYERS THAT LEAVES THE FLAG IN WHEN HE PUTTS, MATT FITZPATRICK.

GOOD TWO PUTT BIRDIE. THAT’S THE START THEY NEED. HERE’S THE CHAMPION AT SIX. VERNE: AND ON THE TEE, PHIL MICKELSON. HOLE LOCATION, ITS TRADITIONAL SUNDAY PLACEMENT. BACK RIGHT UP ON THE PLATEAU. WOULD’VE WHAT A SHOT. MICKELSON A WINNER HERE IN 2004, 2006, AND 2010. LET’S GO TO SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER.

IAN: ALSO A GOOD TWO-PUTT BIRDIE FOR SCHEFFLER AT THE SECOND. ACTUALLY LAST IN THE FIELD IN PUTTING THIS WEEK. I MENTIONED BEFORE HE WASN’T PUTTING WELL. JUST A FEW LITTLE ISSUES PROGRAMS, AS HE WALKS OFF WITH BIRDIE. HERE WE ARE AT SEVEN. ANDREW: OUR FIRST LOOK AT THE

PAR 4 AND KEEGAN BRADLEY WITH HIS SECOND AND THAT IS LOOKING GOOD FOR KEEGAN. TREVOR: WHEN THE PLAYERS SEE THE ROUND FOUR HOLE LOCATION, SEVEN IS ONE OF THE HOLES WHERE THEY FEEL THEY CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE. ANDREW: BACK TO ONE. JIM: THERE YOU SEE THAT HOLE LOCATION AND THAT SWALE ON THE

RIGHT SIDE AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO THE PLAYERS WHEN THEY TRY TO APPROACH THIS GREEN? FRANK: THEY HAVE THE BACKSTOP. THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IS MISS SHORT AND ALLOW THAT FALSE FRONT TO CATCH IT THERE. SO THEY HAVE ABOUT SEVEN STEPS THEY KNOW THEY CAN USE AS A BIT

OF A BUFFER. JIM: SO BENNETT’S TEE SHOT MERCIFULLY CAME UP SHORT OF THE BUNKER. TREVOR: QUITE. HAS A CLEAR VIEW SO SHOULDN’T BE TOO MUCH OF AN ISSUE. IF HE CAN FIT SOMETHING IN JUST LEFT OF THE HOLE LOCATION. THE RIGHT MISS HERE IS NOT VERY GOOD. YOU CAN SEE FROM THAT VIEW

BEHIND THE GREEN THERE, NOT MUCH SPACE TO WORK WITH. JIM: MENTIONED SOME OF THE ELITE COMPANY HE JOINS AS THE LOW AMATEUR. THROUGH THE YEARS, NAMES LIKE BOBBY JONES, MIDDLECOFF. JACK NICKLAUS. BEN CRENSHAW. PHIL MICKELSON, TIGER WOODS. MATSUYAMA. HOVLAND, CANTLAY. BENNETT WILL BE ON THAT LIST BUT HE’S STILL GOING FOR A BIGGER

GOAL. DON’T WANT TO RULE THAT OUT YET. STARTING SEVEN BACK. TREVOR: ANYTHING BETWEEN THE HOLE LOCATION AND THE TOWER IS WHAT HE’S LOOKING FOR. JIM: BETTER BE CAREFUL HERE. TREVOR: THAT’S GOING TO FEED ALL THE WAY DOWN. BUT HE’LL HAVE A LOT OF GREEN TO WORK WITH FROM THERE.

JIM: MORIKAWA DROVE IT LEFT. THERE’S A WINDOW. NOT A VERY BIG ONE. TREVOR: I THINK HE’S GOT TO KEEP IT LOW HERE, LIKE A LOW RUNNING HOOK, SEE IF HE CAN USE THAT FRONT RIGHT PORTION. JIM: GOT THROUGH CLEANLY. DID IT HOOK ENOUGH? OK. JUST IN FRONT OF THE GREEN.

HE KNEW RIGHT AWAY OFF THE TEE SHOT THAT HE’S GOING TO, IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, PLAY A SHOT LIKE THAT WITH HIS SECOND. BACK TO SIX. VERNE: AND PHIL MICKELSON FOR BIRDIE. AT ONE POINT THIS MORNING IN THE THIRD ROUND HE HAD GOTTEN IT TO SIX UNDER. POOR FINISH.

NOW BACK TO TWO UNDER PAR. TO TOM KIM. ANDREW: HIS FIRST MASTERS, THE YOUNGEST PROFESSIONAL IN THE FIELD. THIS FOR BIRDIE AT THE SEVENTH. HE’S ONLY 20 YEARS OLD. HE IS YOUNGER THAN EIGHT OF THE TOP 10 IN THE WORLD AMATEUR RANKINGS. TO TWO. IAN: FORMER NUMBER ONE IN THE

WORLD, JASON DAY, IN GOOD FORM. THIS FOR EAGLE. CAME IN HERE IN SPARKLING FORM, STARTING TO TALK LIKE A WINNER AGAIN. FEELING GOOD ABOUT HIS GAME AND HIS HEALTH. HERE’S KEEGAN. ANDREW: INSIDE THREE FEET AND WE’RE ALREADY SEEING THE BIG DIFFERENCE WITH THIS HOLE LOCATION. A LOT MORE BIRDIES COMING UP

YOUR WAY TODAY AT SEVEN. TO ONE. JIM: AND THE NEXT PAIRING IS HIDEKI AND RUSSELL HENLEY. MATSUYAMA WITH HIS TREMENDOUS RECORD HERE AND HENLEY, A GEORGIAN FROM MACON ON THE 50-YEAR ANNIVERSARY WHEN GEORGIAN TOMMY AARON WON THE 1973 MASTERS. >> FO RE, PLEASE, NOW DRIVING, HIDEKI MATSUYAMA.

JIM: FIRST CAME HERE AS THE ASIA PACIFIC AMATEUR CHAMPION AND RODE THAT PERFORMANCE TO A LOW AM FINISH HERE. WHEN HE WON TWO YEARS AGO HE WAS 29 YEARS OLD. SEVEN OF THE LAST EIGHT MAJORS HAVE BEEN WON BY PLAYERS IN THEIR WENT THE. THE LONE EXCEPTION, PHIL

MICKELSON AT 50, WINNING THE PGA AT KIAWAH. TREVOR: I LIKE THIS PLAY FOR SOMEONE WITH MATSUYAMA’S LENGTH DOWNWIND. 3-WOOD MAKES THIS FAIRWAY A LITTLE WILDER. >> FORE, PLEASE. NOW DRIVING, RUSSELL H HENLEY. JIM: SO WE RECOGNIZED TOMMY AARON 50 YEARS AGO. GEORGIAN WINNING THIS EVENT. HE WAS AT THE CHAMPIONS DINNER

THE OTHER NIGHT BUT A TOUCHING FARE WELL TO ANOTHER GEORGIAN CHAMPION HERE, LARRY MAIZE WHEN HE LEFT THE STAGE FOR THE — MAZ — MIZE WHEN HE LEFT THE STAGE FOR THE FINAL TIME AS A COMPETITOR. THE 18 WINNER. HOLDING THAT FINISH FOR A WHILE. BENNETT NOW. ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE GREEN

HERE, TREVOR. TREVOR: TRY TO FLY IT ABOUT HALFWAY THEN CONTROL THE SPIN. OH, YES. JIM: YOU’RE NOT KIDDING. TREVOR: WE SAW HIM HIT SOME BEAUTIFUL CHIPS AND PITCHES THIS MORNING TO COMPLETE THE THIRD ROUND. NINE AND 10 JUMP TO MIND. JIM: UP TO TWO. IAN: FOUR FEET FOR BIRDIE FOR JASON DAY.

SO MUCH BETTER NOW WITH THE PUTTER, THAT HIS BACK’S BETTER HE CAN PRACTICE A LOT MORE. HE SAID THAT WAS A BIG ISSUE THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS SO HE’S AT FOUR UNDER PAR NOW. TO THREE. FRANK: DRIVER OFF THE TEE LEAVES A SHORT PITCH FOR SCHEFFLER AND NOW A BIRDIE CHANCE.

WORLD NUMBER ONE. TWO WINNINGS. IN PHOENIX AND AT THE PLAYERS, THIS YEAR. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THIS FINAL PAIRING? KOEPKA AS HE GOES TOWARDS THE PUTTING GREEN. ONCE AGAIN, SAME GROUP WITH JON RAHM. BOTH THESE PLAYERS HAVE BEEN TO NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD. DREAM PAIRING. ON A DAY THAT THE WINDS SHOULD

GUST CLOSE TO 20 MILES PER HOUR. COURSE SHOULD DRY OUT SO CONDITIONS WILL BE VERY CHANGEABLE. AND TREVOR, DOES IT COME DOWN TO THE BEST SHOT OR LACK OF ERRORS ALL THROUGH THIS SECOND NINE? TREVOR: TO ME, IN THESE KINDS OF CONDITIONS, IT’S LACK OF ERRORS. JUST SPEAKING TO SOME OF THE

PLAYERS AFTER THEY COMPLETED THEIR THIRD ROUND THEY WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW TOUGH IT WASOUT THERE WITH THAT WIND GUSTING. NOT JUST WITH THE FULL SWING BUT ALSO AROUND THE GREENS AND PUTTING. ADAM SCOTT TOLD ME THAT THE GREENS ABSOLUTELY WERE FASTER THAN THEY HAVE BEEN ALL WEEK SO FAR.

FRANK: AND TREVOR, YOU’VE BEEN IN THIS SITUATION. FINAL PAIRING AT THE MASTERS. SMOOTH THROUGH THE SWING, FINAL SHOTS ON THE RANGE. TRACY: YES, BUT FOR THESE GUYS, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT ROUTINE. NORMALLY YOU HAVE A LONG WAIT IN THE MORNING. YOU’RE TRYING TO CONTROL YOUR MIND BUT THEY’VE BEEN ABLE TO

GET OUT THERE AND PLAY SOME GOLF THIS MORNING SO PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT SETTLED KNOWING THEIR RHYTHM AND HOW THEY SWING AND HOW THE GOLF COURSE IS GOING TO PLAY. JIM: AT THE FIRST GREEN, MORIKAWA. GOT A CHANCE. OH, GOODNESS. TRACY: WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT NEEDING TO GET OFF TO A

HOT START. HOW GOOD WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN IF IT HAD DROPPED DOWN? I CAN’T BELIEVE IT EITHER, COLLIN. JIM: BACK TO THE SEVENTH. ANDREW: AND THE SECOND FOR PHIL MICKELSON. 154 TO THE HOLE. TRYING TO SHAPE THIS AROUND THOSE TREES DOWN THE RIGHT SIDE. THIS SHOULD WORK BACK TOWARDS THE HOLE.

THAT’S GOING TO CATCH THAT SLOPE AND HERE SHE GOES. SO PHIL HAS AN EXCELLENT LOOK AT A SECOND STRAIGHT BIRDIE. JIM: MATSUYAMA, 171 AWAY. TREVOR: MIS-HIT THERE. HE WAS LOOKING UP AT THE SKY BUT SEEMED TO ME LIKE HE KNEW IT AS SOON AS HE HIT IT. JIM: JON RAHM, LIKE MANY OF

THESE UPPER ECHELON PLAYERS, THEY FEEL LIKE AUGUSTA FOR THEM IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. THEY DON’T FEEL ENTITLED BUT THEY FEEL LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY’VE LONGED FOR, PRACTICED FOR SINCE THEY FIRST PICKED UP A CLUB AND HE’S BEEN CLOSE. TO HENLEY AT ONE. TREVOR: ORDINARILY ONE OF THE

BEST IRON PLAYERS ON THE PGA TOUR. HAD THE DISTANCE DIALED IN. DIRECTION WAS SAFE. JIM: OVER TO THREE. FRANK: SCHEFFLER FOR TWO IN A ROW. FINALLY. IAN REFERENCED HIS PUTTING. BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE, NOBODY IS SEEING THE BALL BETTER TEE TO GREEN THAN THE DEFENDING CHAMPION. AND, OF COURSE, THIRD HOLE, JUST

GO BACK. WAS IN TROUBLE OFF THE TEE AND REALLY, THIS CHANGED HIS LIFE. THAT WENT IN. REMARKABLE, PLAYING ALONGSIDE CAMERON SMITH. BROKE HIS HEART. FROM THERE ON IN, HE LOOKED LIKE A CHAMPION. HE ENJOYED THAT CHAMPIONS DINNER AS WELL ON TUESDAY. AS WE GO TO SEVEN. ANDREW: AND THE APPROACH ON THE

WAY FOR JORDAN SPIETH. HE’S WON ON EASTER SUNDAY EACH OF THE LAST TWO YEARS. WON IN TEXAS TWO YEARS AGO. HILTON HEAD A YEAR AGO AND HE’LL HAVE A BIRDIE PUTT COMING UP AT NUMBER SEVEN. JIM: WE’RE DRAWING CLOSER TO KOEPKA AND RAHM. IT WAS SO FASCINATING AND RIVETING WATCHING THEM THIS MORNING.

ALTHOUGH THEY WERE NOT MAKING A LOT OF BIRDIES IT WAS HIGH DRAMA AT THE START OF THE DAY AND THAT’S GOING TO CONTINUE HERE IN JUST A SHORT WHILE. NEXT UP ON NUMBER ONE, HOVLAND AND CANTLAY. SUNDAY AT AUGUSTA IT IS ALWAYS SPECIAL AND WE’RE SO PLEASED TO

BRING IT TO YOU FOR THE 68TH CONSECUTIVE YEAR ON CBS. FROM THE AUGUSTA NATIONAL GOLF CLUB IN AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, CBS SPORTS PROUDLY PRESENTS THE MASTERS. [CAPTIONING FUNDED BY CBS SPORTS DIVISION] [CAPTIONING PERFORMED BY THE NATIONAL CAPTIONING INSTITUTE, WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS CAPTION CONTENT AND ACCURACY. VISIT NCICAP.ORG] THURSDAY, IT FELT LIKE SUMMER.

FRIDAY THERE WAS AN ABRUPT WEATHER DISRUPTION AS A GEORGIAN WINTER SUDDENLY ENVELOPED THE AREA AND WITH COLD WIND AND RAIN. TODAY IT’S SPRINGTIME FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TOURNAMENT WEEK AND IT FEELS ALL SO RIGHT. THE RIGHT VIBE, IN PERFECT HARMONY WITH THAT THE SWEET AUGUSTA MELODY. ♪ BACK AT THE FIRST, HERE’S

MATSUYAMA COMING OUT OF HIS SECOND SHOT. TREVOR: BEAUTIFULLY JUDGED FROM DOWN BELOW THE LEVEL OF THE GREEN. JIM: TO SEVEN. ANDREW: LET’S SEE IF SPIETH CAN MAKE THIS BIRDIE. GREAT OPPORTUNITY THERE. TO 15. >> FORE, PLEASE. NOW DRIVING, VICTOR HALVE LAND. — HOVLAND. JIM: IT’S NO SURPRISE TO SEE

VIKTOR CONTENDING FOR A MAINLY AFTER A DECORATED MAPTURE CAREER. WON THE AMATEUR AT PEBBLE BEACH. LOW AMATEUR HERE, LOW AMATEUR AT PEBBLE BEACH THE FOLLOWING YEAR. HE’LL BE IN THIS POSITION MANY TIMES. >> FORE! JIM: THAT GOT PAST EVERYONE. THAT’S IN THE NINTH FAIRWAY. YOU HOPE IT MADE IT ALL THE WAY

ACROSS NOW. >> FORE, PLEASE. NOW DRIVING, PATRICK CANTLAY. JIM: WE TALKED ABOUT HOVLAND’S BIRDIE STREAK. FIVE IN A ROW ON THE SECOND NINE THIS MORNING BUT IT WAS CONSISTENT GREAT PLAY BY CANTLAY IN THAT THIRD ROUND, STARTING ON SATURDAY AND CONTINUING INTO THIS MORNING. HE SHOT 68. HE WAS THE ONLY SUB-70 SCORER

FOR ROUND THREE. AND THAT SWING IS STILL GROOVED. AT ONE, HENLEY FOR BIRDIE. GOT SOME SPEED TO IT. FOUR-TIME WINNER ON THE PGA TOUR. LET’S GO TO SEVEN. ANDREW: AND MICKELSON FOR BIRDIE. TWO IN A ROW FOR PHIL. AND THREE UNDER FOR THE TOURNAMENT. TO THREE. FRANK: ANOTHER ONE HITTING

DRIVER DOWN HERE IS GARY WOODLAND. EVEN THOUGH IT’S A DIFFICULT BUMP AND RUN, THESE PLAYERS WOULD RATHER BE CLOSER. YOU CAN SEE WHY, TOO, WITH THEIR SKILLS. THAT’S A WONDERFUL SHOT FROM WOODLAND. HE BIRDIED HIS OPENING HOLE TODAY. VERY PROUD OF THAT U.S. OPEN ONE AT 1. THE PITCH. TO EIGHT.

IAN: HOW ABOUT THEEGALA? THIS FAR FOURTH BIRDIE. HE MAKES IT, THE ROOKIE. FIVE TIMES SO FAR HE’S FINISHED IN THE TOP SIX THIS SEASON ON TOUR AND HE IS JUST WAITING FOR THAT FIRST BIG SPLASH. BACK TO THE FIRST. JIM: MATSUYAMA FOR HIS PAR. HIDEKI PUSHED THAT. COST HIM A SHOT.

WE’RE AT THE SECOND. IAN: AND QUITE A LONG WAY OFF TARGET HERE. WILL IT COME BACK DOWN THE SLOPE? THE WIND IS GOING TO HELP IT. OH, HE HAS THE LINE. DIDN’T NEED MUCH MORE, DID IT IN THE ANOTHER U.S. OPEN CHAMPION, JUSTIN ROSE. ALSO IN GOOD FORM, A WINNER THIS SEASON.

HERE AT FIVE. JIM: CAMERON YOUNG. AT FOUR UNDER PAR. TREVOR: PRIORITY NUMBER ONE IS TO CARRY IT UP AND OVER THE BIG RIDGE, JUST LIKE THAT. OH, YES. BEAUTIFUL SHOT. JIM: HAD A FINE RECORD IN THE MAJORS LAST YEAR. WAS THIRD AT SOUTHERN HILLS. SECOND AT ST. ANDREWS. WE GO TO THREE.

FRANK: NOW WOODLAND AFTER THE WONDERFUL LITTLE PITCH AND RUN. HE’S PUTTING THE PIECES OF HIS GAME BACK TOGETHER. SHOWED A LOT OF GOOD FORM AT THE START OF THIS YEAR. 16. VERNE: OUT OF THE BUNKER, HERE’S CAMERON SMITH. TREVOR: OH, HE’S GOING BEYOND TO IT USE THE RIDGE. VERNE: THAT’S THE RESULT OF

HAVING PLAYED HERE BEFORE, TREVOR. TREVOR: VERNE, THIS REMINDS ME OF YOUR FAMOUS CALL WITH TIGER WOODS. [LAUGHTER] VERNE: THOSE WERE PRETTY GOOD MEMORIES. I RECALL THAT DAVIS LOVE HOLED ONE FROM THAT BUNKER ONE YEAR USING THAT SAME TECHNIQUE. LET’S GO BACK TO ONE. JIM: PATRICK AND MATT MINISTER

HAVING A HARD TIME MAKING A DECISION ON THIS ONE. TREVOR: WE’VE SEEN A NUMBER OF GUYS COME UP SHORT ALREADY. MISJUDGING THE AMOUNT OF HELP THAT THEY’RE GETTING. THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THESE GUYS WERE DISCUSSING. JIM: NUMBER FOUR IN THE WORLD. TREVOR: NEEDS TO START TURNING. JIM: OH, HE NEEDED A COUPLE MORE

YARDS TO GET IT OVER THE MOUND. TREVOR: AND THIS IS THE SORT OF THING THAT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO BE DEALING WITH TODAY. THAT WIND SWIRLING AROUND IN THE TREES. PLAYERS AND CADDIES. EVEN PLAYERS EXPERIENCED LIKE CANTLAY, BEEN AROUND HERE A LOT, STILL GETTING CAUGHT OUT AT TIMES.

JIM: THIS DID NOT GO FAR ENOUGH LEFT AND HOVLAND IS GOING TO MAKE A RISKY PLAY RIGHT HERE. THE LIMBS WERE HIGH ENOUGH WHERE HE COULD MANEUVER THAT THROUGH IT BACK INTO PLAY. >> THE FIRST TEE IS DEFINITELY MORE NERVE-RACKING THAN ANY FIRST TEE SHOT. >> THE FEELING, THE ATMOSPHERE

YOU GET AROUND HERE IS UNLIKE ANYWHERE ELSE. >> YOU HAVE FANS ON BOTH SIDES 50 PEOPLE DEEP. >> YOU GET THE FIRST-TEE JITTERS AND A LITTLE BIT OF NERVES. >> YOU’RE ANXIOUS TO GET GOING. >> IT’S A DREAM COME TRUE TO BE ABLE TO STAY ON THAT TEE.

JIM: THE FINAL QUEST FOR AUGUSTA GLORY BEGINS ON THE FIRST TEE. >> FORE, PLEASE. FORE, PLEASE. NOW DRIVING. JIM: ON CUE, THE MIND IS TRANSPORTED TO A KALEIDOSCOPE OF MASTERS MEMORIES. YES, SIR! THE RETURN TO GLORY. A LIFE CHANGER. >> WHAT A COMEBACK. JIM: THE GREEN JACKET IS 18

HOLES AWAY BUT THE FIRST SHOT FEELS HEAVIER, WEIGHTED BY PRESSURE AND PRESTIGE. >> THE CROWDS AROUND YOU. >> AND YOUR NAME IS ANNOUNCED. >> FORE, PLEASE. >> AND THEN IT GOES DEAD SILENT. >> YOU CAN’T HEAR A THING. >> A LOT OF THOUGHTS IN YOUR HEAD. JUST THERE’S A GREEN JACKET ON

THE LINE. JIM: THIS YEAR’S CHAMPION WILL HAVE CONQUERED NOT ONLY AUGUSTA NATIONAL BUT ALSO THE EXTERNAL ELEMENTS OF MOTHER NATURE AND THE INTERNAL FORCES OF NERVES AND EXPECTATIONS. TWO MAJOR CHAMPIONS VYING FOR THEIR FIRST GREEN JACKET. ONE LOOKING TO REMAIN AT THE PINNACLE OF THE GOLF WORLD.

OF THE LOOKING TO RETURN TO THAT SUMMIT. IT’S THE FINAL ROUND OF THE MATCHES AND THE HONOR IS YOURS. ♪ >> FORE, PLEASE. NOW DRIVING, BROOKS KOEPKA. JIM: OH, MY. THIS IS LEFT OF LEFT. I’VE NEVER SEEN HIM MISS ONE THAT FAR OFFLINE. >> FORE, PLEASE. NOW DRIVING, JON RAHM.

JIM: JON WAS ASKED ABOUT THIS SHOT. HE CALLED IT AN ICONIC TEE SHOT. EVERYTHING YOU SEE AROUND HERE IS ICONIC. IT’S NOT THE EASIEST OPENING TEE SHOT, SAYS RAHM. TREVOR: IS IT ENOUGH TO GET TO THAT BUNKER? NO SO IT WILL BE FINE, IN THE FAIRWAY. JIM: THEY BOTH BACKED OFF DRIVER, TREVOR.

TREVOR: I THINK THAT’S THE CORRECT PLAY. OBVIOUSLY BROOKS MADE A BAD SWING. JIM: HERE’S THE THIRD SHOT FOR HOVLAND, UP AHEAD AT ONE. NOT AN EASY PUTT BUT A CHANCE TO GET OUT OF HERE WITH A 4. TO TWO. IAN: SEE IF ROSE CAN CONVERT THAT EXQUISITE LITTLE PITCH FROM THE RIGHT SIDE.

YES, SIR, A LITTLE HULA HOOP. AND A NICE START FOR JUSTIN ROSE FOR A 4 AT THE FIRST. JIM: CANTLAY. TREVOR: IT’S A LITTLE BIT LIKE MATSUYAMA’S EFFORT, JUST PULLING UP FIVE OR SIX FEET SHORT. FRANK: 10 YEARS AGO HE WAS INDUCTED INTO THE HALL OF FAME. HE WON HIS MASTERS 31 YEARS

AGO. SOME CALL HIM BOOM-BOOM, SOME FREDDIE. FRED COUPLES. HUGE OVATION THERE AT 12 AS WE GO BACK TO THE FIRST. JIM: WITH HOVLAND’S ATTEMPT AT PAR. WELL DONE, YES! REMINDS ME OF THE PUTT HE HOLED AT 17 THIS MORNING TO SAVE PAR. WHAT MUST CANTLAY DO? CANTLAY IS TWO BACK OF HOVLAND.

FIVE BACK OF KOEPKA AT THE TOP. TREVOR: HE’S GOT TO START BY MAKING THIS AND THEN HIT A GOOD TEE SHOOT NUMBER — DOWN NUMBER TWO. IF HE DOES THAT, HE CAN REACH THAT GREEN IN TWO AND EAGLE COST INTO PLAY. BUT MAKE THIS FIRST. JIM: YOU SHAKE YOUR HEAD AND YOU

SAY, I’M IN THE FAIRWAY. HOVLAND’S GOT A VERY DIFFICULT PITCHOUT UNDER SOME LIMBS, A NUMBER OF TREES. HE MAKES 4, I MAKE 5. IT’S HARD TO SWALLOW. CANTLAY IS BACK TO FIVE UNDER, IN A TIE WITH CAM YOUNG AND GARY WOODLAND, RUSSELL HENLEY. DOTTIE’S GOING TO BE FOLLOWING THIS FINAL TANDEM.

KOEPKA, I’M JUST ANXIOUS TO HEAR, DOTTIE, WHERE THIS ONE ENDED UP. DOTTIE: IT’S IN THE NINTH FAIRWAY, JIM. IT WILL BE A BLIND SECOND BUT I DON’T THINK IT’S GOING TO BE ANY PROBLEM FOR HIM TO GET THE BALL OVER THE TREES AND IF YOUR SILVER LINING IS REALLY SILVER,

HE’S GOT A GREAT ANGLE. [LAUGHTER] TREVOR: NOW, THAT’S SOME POSITIVE THINKING THERE, DOTTIE. DOTTIE: THE TOTAL IS 215. 19 TO THE FRONT. JIM: THERE YOU SEE A GROUP COMING UP THE NINTH. KOEPKA RIGHT AT THE ELBOW IN THE NINTH. DOTTIE: HE TOLD US IT’S 5-IRON. JIM: GOT TO LEAN ON HIS MAN,

RICKY ELLIOTT, TO GET A GOOD YARDAGE FROM OVER HERE. A SPOT THAT YOU DON’T EXPECT TO BE. NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT LAND BUT CAN HEAR IT MAYBE. HE’S GOT THE PUTTING SURFACE. TREVOR: THAT WILL BE JUST FINE THERE. GOT IT TO PRETTY MUCH HOLE HIGH.

JIM: I THINK HE GOT THE YARDAGE. TREVOR: YEAH, THAT’S GREAT WORK FROM RICKY ELLIOTT. THAT BALL CAME SO CLOSE TO CLIPPING THOSE PINES ON THE WAY PAST. GREAT TRAJECTORY CONTROL. JIM: AND WHAT ABOUT RAHM, DOTTIE? DOTTIE: HE HAS 7-IRON IN HAND. 162 TOTAL. THE BALL NEEDS TO STAY IN THE AIR. 156.

HUGGING THE RIGHT. TREVOR: WHAT A TERRIBLE MISTAKE THAT IS THERE FOR RAHM. HAD THE ADVANTAGE, KOEPKA FOUND HIS WAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND NOW, POOR MIS– MISS. JIM: OVER TO 12. FRANK: 161 YARDS TODAY. BREEZE RIGHT AT HIS BACK. HIS SWING REALLY HASN’T CHANGED OVER THE YEARS. STILL CREATES A LITTLE — A

LITTLE LUCKY IN FREON BETWEEN THE TWO BUNKERS THERE. IT’S BEEN A MONUMENTAL WEEK FOR FREDDIE. BECAME THE OLDEST PLAYER TO EVER MAKE THE CUT AT 63. WHEN PLAYERS LIKE JUSTIN THOMAS, RORY MCILROY DID NOT SO THAT’S AN ACHIEVEMENT AND ANOTHER RECORD FOR FREDDIE. WE GO TO SIX. VERNE: HERE’S CAMERON YOUNG FOR PAR.

CURRENTLY AT FIVE UNDER. BACKS AWAY A SECOND TIME. CAM THREE UNDER FOR THE ROUND. AND HE WILL REMAIN IN THAT POSITION. THREE BIRDIES. GOT OFF TO A GREAT START AT THE FIRST AND SECOND. AND FRED COUPLES, CHAMPION 31 YEARS AGO. MADE THAT SAME STROLL. MANY REMEMBER WHEN HE PLAYED THE

12TH HOLE, HIS BALL HIT THE AREA RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE GREEN. DID NOT ROLL BACK INTO THE CREEK. LET’S GO BACK TO ONE. JIM: AND RAHM IS LOOKING AT WHAT HE FACES HERE FROM THE RIGHT OF THE GREEN. DOTTIE: IT’S NOT UNDOABLE. ON THE UPSLOPE WILL HELP AND I

THINK JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SOFTNESS IN THE GREEN WILL HELP AS WELL. JIM: NOT ONLY NOT UNDOABLE, IN 2011 WHEN CHARL SCHWARTZEL WON, HE WAS ALMOST IN THIS IDENTICAL SPOT AND KNOCKED IT IN ON HIS WAY TO WINNING. TREVOR: LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING TO TRY AND LAND IT JUST SHORT, BUMP

IT IN THERE. JIM: OH. HE WANTED SOMETHING MUCH CLOSER THAN THAT. TREVOR: YEAH, ONCE IT GETS TO THE HOLE, IT STARTS RUNNING AWAY. A RIGHT MISS IS WHAT YOU’RE TRYING TO AVOID TO THAT HOLE LOCATION. DOTTIE: SPEED WILL BE THE BIGGEST PART OF THIS FOR BROOKS. JUST ABOUT HOLE HIGH THE LAST

FOUR AND A HALF FEET. GOES INTO A BOWL MOVING TO THE RIGHT WHERE THE HOLE IS CUT. TREVOR: GREAT ANGLE HERE TO SEE HOW MUCH BREAK HE’S PLAYING. JIM: WONDERFUL PUTT. TREVOR: QUITE FORTUNATE AFTER A VERY POOR TEE SHOT. LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE WITH A PAR.

DOTTIE: TREVOR, IT WAS SO BAD, IT WAS GOOD. [LAUGHTER] TREVOR: THAT’S HOW GOLF IS SOMETIMES. JIM: 32 YEARS OLD, THE SAME AGE FRED COUPLES WAS WHEN HE WON THE GREEN JACKET. FRANK: SPEAKING OF FREDDIE, HIS SECOND AT 12. STILL HAS THE TOUCH. WELL PLAYED. MIGHT SEE THAT SHOT IS A FEW

TIMES TODAY WITH THIS HOLE PLAYING DOWNBREEZE, GREENS STARTING TO FIRM UP. TO THE OPENING HOLE. JIM: AN EARLY IMPORTANT ONE. HIS PUTTING STARTED TO GET A LITTLE LOOSER AS THE MORNING PROGRESSED BUT HE CAME OUT AND HOLED PUTTS AT SEVEN, EIGHT, AND NINE THAT WERE ALL IN ABOUT THIS RANGE.

WHATEVER HE WAS FEELING, THAT COLD START TO THE MORNING, SEE IF HE CAN GET THAT VIBE BACK AGAIN RIGHT HERE, SAVE PAR. THERE YOU GO. PARS TO START. I KNOW IT’S MORE THAN JUST A TWO-MAN RACE BUT THESE LAST TWO ARE SO SIMILAR IN PHYSIQUE, THEIR GAME, THEIR ATTITUDE.

JUST A COUPLE OF BIG, BAD BRUTES. TREVOR: THAT’S RIGHT. MAJOR CHAMPIONS, FORMER WORLD NUMBER ONES. JIM: LET’S GO TO EIGHT. IAN: AND JORDAN SPIETH HERE AT THE PAR 5. THIS FOR BIRDIE. 15 FEET AWAY. THAT’S MORE LIKE IT. JUST A LITTLE SHAKY AT TIMES WITH THE FLAT STICK BUT HE’S

IRON PLAY AND TEE-TO-GREEN PLAY HAS BEEN FANTASTIC THIS SEASON. ON THE WAY BACK. OVER AT TWO, SAM BENNETT, THE YOUNG AMATEUR. TRYING TO BECOME THE FIRST AMATEUR TO WIN HERE. IT’S BEEN AN EXCITING WEEK FOR HIM. PLAYING IN THE FINAL GROUPING IN THE THIRD ROUND. STARTING WITH A COUPLE OF 68’S.

EXCELLENT PLAY FOR THE U.S. AMATEUR CHAMPION. HERE WE ARE AT THE 12TH, FRANK. FRANK: THANK YOU, IAN. CHECK IN WITH FRED COUPLES. JUST BRUSHES THAT IN. HE LOVES THIS PLACE. KEEP COMING BACK AS LONG AS THAT BACK HOLDS UP, THE SWING IS LONG ENOUGH. TO 10. IAN: AND SAHITH TEE GALA.

OUR FIRST LOOK AT THE 10TH TODAY. THIS JUST OUTSIDE 25 FEET AND IT’S ANOTHER BIRDIE FOR SAHITH. AND HE IS RIGHT THERE AT FOUR UNDER PAR NOW. WHAT AN OPEN. JIM: LOOKING AT WHAT THEEGALA HAS DONE. CAM YOUNG, SCHEFFLER AND SPIETH, MICKELSON, NIEMANN, WOODLAND. THEY’RE ALL MAKING BIRDIES.

THE TOP TWO HAVE OPENED WITH PARS. THAT’S A GOOD START. BIRDIE HOLE COMING UP. FINAL ROUND OF THE MASTERS. THE SUN HAS RISEN, AT LEAST, AFTER ALL THAT CLOUD COVER. HAPPY EASTER, EVERYONE, FROM AUGUSTA. t just the top ones? Yes, with IBM Consulting you could use Watson

GARY PLAYER. NEXT, 60 YEARS AFTER HIS FIRST GREEN JACKET, WE PROUDLY WELCOME BACK, OUR SIX-TIME MASTERS CHAMPION.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MR. JACK NICKLAUS. NOW ON THE TEE, WE WELCOME BACK TWO-TIME MASTERS CHAMPION AND EIGHT-TIME MAJOR CHAMPION, PLEASE WELCOME MR. TOM WATSON. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE 2023 MASTERS IS NOW OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY. ENJOY THE TOURNAMENT. JIM: JUST AN AMAZING, AMAZING SCENE. THAT WAS THURSDAY MORNING. NOW HERE WE ARE AT THE SECOND.

IAN: ALWAYS A TREAT, AS WE WATCH OUR PENULTIMATE GROUP TEEING OFF AT THE SECOND. ALWAYS A LITTLE BIT OF A WAIT HERE AT THE SECOND BECAUSE THE GROUP AHEAD IS WAITING ON THE GREEN SO THEY HAVE TO WAIT AT THE TEE. THAT IS PERFECT. OVER TO SIX. VERNE: AND ON THE TEE, DEFENDING

CHAMPION SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER. WHOA. THAT REMAINS FOR A 2. SCOTTIE AT FOUR UNDER. AND WE GO BACK TO THE SECOND. IAN: AND THE SMOOTH-SWINKING PATRICK CANTLAY. THREE BIRDIES FOR THREE DAYS. THIS SHOULD BE PERFECT. HE’S DRIVING IT WELL, TREVOR. TREVOR: OOH, AND GETS THE BIG KICK FORWARD. DRIVING DISTANCE IS UP THERE

AROUND 310 AS WELL ON AVERAGE, WHICH IS VERY GOOD. DOWN TO THE FLAT. MUCH EASIER SECOND. NOW, RUSSELL HENLEY. IS HE GOING TO USE THE BANK ON THE LEFT AND GO LONG OR HIGH AND TRY AND STOP IT? NO, HE’S USING THE LEFT BANK. USING IT WELL. IAN: YES, SIR. WONDERFUL TOUCH.

THE PLAYERS PRACTICE ALL THESE IN THEIR PRACTICE ROUNDS. THEY KNOW WHERE THE FLAGS WILL BE EACH DAY AND TODAY PRETTY MUCH TRADITIONAL HOLE LOCATIONS. FINAL PAIRING SITTING ON THE CHAIR. JUST A LITTLE CHAT ON THE BENCH. GOOD BUDDIES. THEY SEEMED TO BE HAVING A GOOD TIME DURING THE THIRD ROUND AS WELL.

THAT ALWAYS HELPS IF YOU’RE RELAXED, HAVING A GOOD TIME. TO THE NINTH. JIM: JORDAN SPIETH COMING INTO THE NINTH. TREVOR: HOLE LOCATION, JUST LIKE THE THIRD ROUND, DOWN IN THE FRONT LEVEL. OH, YEAH. JIM: THAT’S GOOD. TREVOR: IT’S BEEN A BIT OF A ROLLER COASTER ROUND SO FAR FOR SPIETH.

FOUR BIRDIES, TWO BOGEYS. NICE LOOK FOR HIS FIFTH BIRDIE IN THIS FIRST NINE. JIM: BACK TO TWO. IAN: TWO-TIME ASIA PACIFIC AMATEUR CHAMPION, HIDEKI MATSUYAMA. FIRST ONE — WON, CAME HERE, WON LOW AMATEUR HONORS. WENT BACK AND DEFENDED THAT TITLE AND NOW HE HAS A GREEN JACKET IN THE CLOSET AS WELL AS

MASTERS CHAMPION. TO SIX. VERNE: AND SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER FOR BIRDIE. TRACY: HE WAS UP AND OUT OF THAT ONE QUICKLY. VERNE: SO THAT’S A DISAPPOINTING PAR 3. AND WE GO BACK TO TWO. IAN: THIS WILL BE A MEMORABLE UP AND DOWN FOR RUSSELL HENLEY. THAT WAS A DELIGHTFUL CHIP.

THE GEORGIA BULLDOG MOVES TO SIX UNDER. OUTRIGHT FOURTH CURRENTLY AS WE HEAD BACK UP THE HILL AND A LITTLE WAIT. HOVLAND SET TO GO. 245. IAN: A GOOD-LOOKING LIE IF HE’S GOT THE LENGTH. TREVOR: UNFORTUNATE BOUNCE THERE. IAN: THAT COULD EASILY HAVE GATHERED MOMENTUM OVER THE RIDGE AND GOT CLOSE.

WHO WILL EVER FORGET THAT DOUBLE EGO OF — EAGLE OF LOWRY OOSTHUIZEN’S FROM A SIMILAR SPOT? BUT CANTLAY IS A LOT CLOSER. AND A GOOD ANGLE. TREVOR: IF YOU BRING IT DOWN ON THE RIGHT HALF OF THAT LEADERBOARD, YOU’RE GOING TO CATCH THE RIDGE. IAN: WHEN YOU PLAYED, TREVOR,

DID YOU USE THE RIDGE AND THEN RUN IT AROUND OFF THE RIDGE? TREVOR: I ALWAYS DID AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD PLAY BECAUSE YOU’RE HITTING OFF OF THIS DOWNSLOPE SO THE BALL IS GOING TO BE FLIGHTED A LITTLE LOWER THAN NORMAL. ONCE AGAIN, GOOD SHAPE. AND JUST A LITTLE SOFT THERE

WITH THE BOUNCE BUT CERTAINLY THE RIGHT IDEA. POPULAR SPOT TODAY. THE HOLE ONLY PLAYING 4 1/4 BECAUSE THE HELPING WIND AND MOST PLAYERS HITTING IN THERE WITH IRONS. JUST A SHORT WAIT. YOU SEE THERE THE HOLE AVERAGES. EASIEST HOLE AT 4.6. NO EAGLES IN THE THIRD ROUND, THOUGH.

WE HAD SIX THE FIRST TWO DAYS. LET’S SEE HOW BROOKS ADJUSTS AFTER THE HUGE PULL OFF OF THE FIRST TEE. DOTTIE: WENT WITH 3-WOOD HERE IN THE THIRD ROUND. IAN: DRIVER TODAY, DOTTIE. PROBABLY DIDN’T TRUST THE 3-WOOD AFTER THE ONE AT THE FIRST. AND HE’S CARRIED THE BUNKER, THAT’S A GOOD HIT.

DOTTIE: 318 TO CARRY THAT BUNKER, WELL DONE. IAN: SO THAT’S DOWN THERE ABOUT 350. NICE LITTLE SMILE FROM RICKY. PROBABLY LIKE WHY DIDN’T YOU DO THAT ON THE FIRST? JIM: SPIETH FOR BIRDIE. AND IT IS. HIS FIFTH OF THE ROUND. MOVES INTO THE TOP 10. BACK TO TWO.

IAN: ALSO WITH DRIVER FOR JON. DOTTIE: 372 YESTERDAY OFF THIS TEE IN THOSE CONDITIONS. TREVOR: BEEN TURNING THE DRAW HERE THE FIRST THREE DAYS BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE HUNG OUT. IAN: LET’S SEE IF HE CARRIES THE BUNKER AND WHERE IT FINISHES. ALMOST DOWN INTO THE TREES BEHIND THE FOURTH TREE.

TREVOR: AS LONG AS HE’S GOT A SWING. IAN: IT LOOKS LIKE HE DOES, TREVOR. JUST SOME PINE STRAW THERE AND MAY HAVE A LITTLE ANGLE PROBLEM WITH TREES IN FRONT BUT NO DAMAGE. [CAPTIONING FUNDED BY CBS SPORTS DIVISION] [CAPTIONING PERFORMED BY THE NATIONAL CAPTIONING INSTITUTE, WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS

CAPTION CONTENT AND ACCURACY. VISIT NCICAP.ORG] THEY WALK DOWN THE HILL HERE. IT’S ABOUT A 30-YARD DROP FROM THE TEE TO THE GREEN, AS WE GO TO THE PAR 3 FOUR. ANDREW: SCHAUFFELE ON THE TEE. PLAYING 228 TODAY AT THE FOURTH HOLE AND THAT’S A BEAUTY FROM XANDER.

TO FIVE FEET AND A GREAT LOOK AT BIRDIE FOR XANDER CH SCHAUFFELE. BACK TO TWO. IAN: WELL, WE’RE SEEING THESE PUTTS QUITE A BIT SO FAR TODAY. VIKTOR HOVLAND, OF COURSE, HAD AN UNBELIEVABLE SECOND NINE THIS MORNING. HAD FIVE BIRDIES IN A ROW FROM 11 THROUGH 15. GOT HIMSELF BACK INTO THIS TOURNAMENT.

MOST OF THE PLAYERS THAT USE LINES, THEY’LL JUST USE IT AS A BIT OF A REFERENCE ON THESE EXTRA LONG SLOPING PUTTS. IT’S NOT LIKE AN EXACT LINE LIKE THE SHORT PUTTS, IS IT? TREVOR: YEAH, JUST TO GIVE YOU A NICE WINDOW INTO THE AREA THAT YOU WANT TO START IT IN.

YOU CAN SEE HIS EYES MOVING LEFT TO RIGHT, TRYING TO PICTURE A SPOT TO WHERE HE WANTS THE BALL TO JUST TRICKLE OVER THE CREST OF THE RIDGE AND THEN FALL ITS WAY DOWN TO THE HOLE. IAN: AND FACTOR IN THE WIND AS WELL. AS IT COMES DOWN THE SLOPE, IT

WILL BE COMING WITH THE BREEZE. EXPOSED GREENS, THE WIND MAKES A DIFFERENCE. TREVOR: THIS ONE YOU ALMOST HAVE TO GET? IT A LITTLE PAST AND THEN IT WILL COME BACK TOWARDS THE HOLE. IAN: GOOD SPEED BUT NOT HIGH ENOUGH UP THAT SLOPE YOU TALKED ABOUT. PLAYED WELL AT THE OPEN

CHAMPIONSHIP LAST YEAR AS WELL SO HE’S DOING WELL IN THESE BIG EVENTS, AS WE GO TO 13. JIM: AND WE HAVE MITO PEREIRA, WHO CAME SO CLOSE TO WINNING THE PGA LAST YEAR BEFORE A TEE SHOT GOT AWAY FROM HIM ON THE 72ND AT SOUTHERN HITS. HIS THIRD SHOT INTO THE 13TH.

TREVOR: WHAT A GREAT FEELING THAT IS. NICE BOUNCEBACK AFTER THE ISSUES AT 12. THESE ARE THE KIND OF SUNDAY ROARS WE LOOK FORWARD TO AT THE MASTERS. JIM: TRIPLE BOGEY-EAGLE BACK-TO-BACK. [LAUGHTER] TREVOR: WHAT A GAME. JIM: LET’S GO TO TWO. IAN: WHAT A GAME INDEED. PATRICK CANTLAY SAYS THAT HE

ABSOLUTELY MUST LOVES THIS PLACE BECAUSE HE LOVES FAST GREENS AND HE LOVES THE FACT THE GREENS ARE REALLY SLOPPY AND FAST. IN FACT, IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR HIM TO READ THE PUTTS AND SEE THE ANGLE TO THE HOLE. AS WE LOOK AT JON RAHM BACK ON TOP OF THE HILL. DECENT LIE.

ANY LIMB ISSUES BETWEEN HIM AND THE GREEN? DOTTIE: THERE’S NOTHING BETWEEN HIM AND THE GREEN. IAN: WOW, THAT’S A VERY FORTUNATE BREAK. EARNED LOW AMATEUR HONORS HERE IN 2012. STRUGGLED EARLY ON IN HIS CAREER FOR A FEW YEARS WITH BACK ISSUES. TOOK HIM A WHILE TO GET BACK TO

THE LEVEL THAT WE’VE BEEN ACCUSTOMED TO SEEING IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. TREVOR: HE IS LOOKING SO FAR LEFT. LOOK AT THAT. HE’S STARTING THIS WELL LEFT OF HIS GOLF BAG. IT’S GOING TO MAKE A U-TURN ON HIM. IAN: IT’S LIKE AIMING AT A SPOT WHERE YOU WANT THE BALL TO GET

TO AND THEN FALL DOWN THE SLOPE. WONDERFUL SPEED. VERY NICE EFFORT THERE FOR PATRICK CANTLAY. IT WILL BE JUST A TAP FOR THE BIRDIE. ERASE THAT BOGEY FROM THE FIRST AND GET BACK TO SIX UNDER. AT THE FOURTH. ANDREW: SCHAUFFELE FOR HIS BIRDIE AFTER THE EXCELLENT TEE SHOT.

BEGAN HIS WEEK WATCHING HIS ALMA MATER, SAN DIEGO STATE PLAY IN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. A GREAT RUN BY THE AZTECS, COMING UP JUST SHORT AGAINST UCONN. OUT OF THE FAIRWAY AT SEVEN, SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER WITH HIS SECOND. THAT’S AN EXCELLENT SHOT BY SCHEFFLER. SAID HE WAS HAPPY HE WAS ABLE TO

KEEP IT TOGETHER, HIS EMOTIONS, DURING THE CHAMPIONS DINNER ON TUESDAY NIGHT THAT HE HOSTED. TO TWO. IAN: VIKTOR HOVLAND WILL HAVE A BIRDIE PUTT. A MERE 20 YEARS AGO MIKE WEIR GAME THE — BECAME THE FIRST CANADIAN TO WIN THE MASTERS BACK IN TRI- 2003. ADAM SCOTT, THE FIRST FROM AUSTRALIA.

AND HE COULD BECOME THE FIRST MAN FROM NORWAY TO WIN A MAJOR. WELL, HE WAS KNOCKING THEM IN ON THE SECOND NINE THIS MORNING. THAT’S A DISAPPOINTING THREE-PUTT. SO VIKTOR REMAINS EIGHT UNDER. THREE BACK THROUGH THE OPENING TWO HOLES. TREVOR, REALLY THE ONLY HOLE IN THE FIRST SEVEN THAT YOU’RE

THINKING ABOUT BIRDIEING OR THINK YOU NEED TO BIRDIE — TREVOR: THAT’S A VERY GOOD POINT. ONE, YOU HAVE ALL THE NERVOUS, AS CANTLAY GOES AHEAD AND POPS IT IN FOR HIS FOUR. ONE, YOU’RE JUST TRYING TO GET OFF TO A SOLID START. THEN TWO IS THE OPPORTUNITY AND

FROM THREE THROUGH SIX, YOU HAVE TO HANG ON UNTIL YOU GET THAT HOLE LOCATION IN THE BOWL AT SEVEN AND THEN THE PAR 5 EIGHT. NOW IT’S ALL ABOUT CONTACT FROM THE PINE STRAW. IAN: MAKE SURE YOU CAN GET A GOOD, SOLID STANCE. DOTTIE: THE STANCE IS WHAT YOU’VE TO BE AWARE OF.

IT CAN BE A BIT SLIPPERY AFTER ALL THE RAIN. IAN: AMAZING WHAT CONDITIONS THEY’VE GOT THE COURSE IN. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GROUNDS STAFF. WONDERFUL EFFORT. DOTTIE: 230 TO THAT FRONT EDGE. IAN: HE FOUND THAT FRONT LEFT BUNKER IN THE SECOND ROUND WHEN HE HIT A 7-IRON IN THERE.

THIS WILL BE A LONG, LONG BUNKER SHOT. NOW, AN IDEAL DRIVE FOR BROOKS. DOTTIE: 10 YARDS CLOSER. 220 TO THE FRONT. 248 TO THE HOLE LOCATION. HE THINKS IF YOU CAN GET IT INTO THE CENTER OF THE GREEN IT WILL FEEDS TOWARD IT. IAN: THAT GREEN HAS BEEN A LOT

SOFTER BECAUSE OF THE RAIN SO IT’S NOT AS FIERY GETTING BACK TO THE PIN. DOTTIE: THAT’S 5-IRON. IAN: CAN IT CARRY? NO. MAY HAVE TO USE THE BACK SLOPE FOR HIS BUNKER SHOT THERE. NOT EASY TO GET THAT OUT OF THERE AND TO STOP IT CLOSE TO THE HOLE. AHEAD ONE.

FRANK: A LITTLE SLICK PUTT HERE FOR RUSSELL HENLEY. OH, IT’S STILL GOING. AND HENLEY MAKES 3. GOT HIS WIN IN MEXICO. THAT WAS HIS FIRST WIN FOR FIVE YEARS. AND HE CAN ROLL IT. SO HE’S ONLY FOUR BACK. SEVEN. ANDREW: SCHEFFLER FOR HIS BIRDIE. AND THAT’S BEEN THE PROBLEM THIS

WEEK THROUGH THREE ROUNDS, TIED FOR SECOND, GREENS IN REGULATION BUT HE’S NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET HIS PUTTS TO DROP DURING HIS TITLE DEFENSE. TO 10. GOOD BIRDIE OPPORTUNITY HERE FOR JORDAN SPIETH FROM THE CENTER OF THE GREEN. SPIETH CURRENTLY THREE UNDER ON HIS ROUND, FOUR UNDER FOR THE TOURNAMENT.

CHECK THAT, FIVE UNDER. THREE BIRDIES IN A ROW FOR JORDAN SPIETH. EIGHT THROUGH 10. THAT’S THE WAY YOU WANT TO GET STARTED INTO THIS SECOND NINE ON MASTERS SUNDAY. THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTS. KOEPKA LEADS BY TWO FROM RAHM IN THE 87TH MASTERS. Like, what if fans could follow

All their favorite players, not just the top ones? Yes, with IBM Consulting you could use Watson to analyze the data of every shot and get AI-powered insights for every player. So people can follow the underdogs. The past champions. Even the long shots.

You calling me a long shot? Hello friends. Look at this… right at it! That’s a good call. That’s the personalized experience IBM and The Masters created. It’s a shot for the ages! What will you create? IBM. Let’s create. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ The vehicle is all electric.

The feeling is all Mercedes. The EQS SUV from Mercedes-Benz. ♪ ♪ JIM: WELL, WE HEARD IAN BAKER-FINCH TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE ANNIVERSARY, MILESTONES. 40 YEARS AGO, SEVE’S SECOND GREEN JACKET. BERNHARD LANGER’S FIRST. 30 YEARS AGO IN 1993, FIRST OF TWO. MIKE WEIR. BRINGING CANADA ITS FIRST MASTERS TITLE.

TREVOR, 10 — 15 YEARS AGO, YOU WERE THE VICTOR HERE. 10 YEARS AGO ADAM SCOTT MADE HISTORY FOR AUSTRALIA. LET’S GO BACK TO THE SECOND. IAN: LONG BUNKER SHOT WAY UP TO THE LEFT AND BRING IT DOWN THE SLOPE OR WAS IT STOPPED TOO QUICKLY? IT HAS.

IT CAME OUT A LITTLE BIT TOO HIGH, DOTTIE, TO GET THE ROLL. DOTTIE: DON’T GIVE UP ON THAT ONE YET. IAN: PAR 5’S THIS WEEK. JOB RAHM EIGHT UNDER SO FAR. BROOKS KOEPKA, NINE UNDER. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE 5’S. DOTTIE: JON DID, THOUGH, THREE-PUTT BOTH PAR 5’S ON THE

SECOND NINE IN THE THIRD ROUND. REAL MOMENTUM KILLER. THIS IS REALLY A PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD BUNKER SHOT. CAUGHT A LITTLE OF THE UPSLOPE, SITTING REAL NICE. IAN: THAT’S GOOD. YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO SURE AND AS YOU SAY, THAT LITTLE UPSLOPE CERTAINLY HELPS. DOTTIE: I THINK AN UNDERESTIMATED PART OF BROOKS’ GAME RIGHT HERE.

IAN: WELL PLAYED. ABOUT EIGHT FOOT BEYOND. JIM: WE’LL BRING IT TO BUTLER CABIN. HELLO, FRIENDS, JIM NANTZ. AGAIN, UNLIKE A TRADITION OF ANY OTHER, THE MASTERS. PLEASURE TO BE ALONGSIDE MASTERS CHAMPION TREVOR IMMELMAN. YOU SALT IN THAT SURE 50 YEARS AGO, PAL. LET’S GET A SAND — HANDSHAKE. [LAUGHTER]

TREVOR: THANK YOU SO MUCH. JIM: SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING TO BE SITTING RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE. WHAT’S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR KOEPKA OR RAHM OR SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT? TRACY: BOTH HAVE PLAYED INCREDIBLE GOLF. IF I WAS BROOKS KOEPKA AND I WAS STARTING THIS ROUND WITH A

TWO-SHOT LEAD, I WOULD GET A NUMBER IN MIND. IF HE BREAKS 70, AT THIS POINT THEN NOW JON RAHM IS GOING TO HAVE TO SHOOT 66, 67 JUST TO GET INTO A PLAYOFF SO FORGET ABOUT ALL THE NOISE, JUST GO OUT, FOCUS ON YOUR OWN GAME. TRY AND SHOOT TWO, THREE, FOUR

UNDER AND TAKE YOUR CHANCES FROM THERE. JIM: LOOKS LIKE THERE COULD BE LOW SCORES TODAY. TRACY: I’M SIGHING — SEEING ABOUT A HALF DOZEN HOLE LOCATIONS THAT ARE DOWN IN BOWLS SO IF YOU CAN GET THE RIGHT DISTANCE CONTROL AS RECEPTIVE AS THE GREENS ARE, THE BALL CAN FIELD IN THERE.

WE’VE SEEN A BUNCH OF THAT HAPPENING SO FAR AT SEVEN. IF PLAYERS CAN CONTROL THE BALL ON APPROACH, THEY CAN HAVE A BUNCH OF PUTTS ABOUT THIS LENGTH FOR BIRDIE. NOW, RAHM, HE NEEDS TO GET SOMETHING GOING HERE. MAKE THIS PUTT. REMEMBER THAT U.S. OPEN WIN. HE CAME FROM THREE BEHIND ON

THAT SUNDAY SO HE’S ALSO HAD SOME SUCCESS CHASING. IAN: AND MADE A LOT OF LEFT-TO-RIGHT PUTTS, FROM MEMORY, IN WINNING THAT U.S. OPEN. , NO JUST DIDN’T HAVE THE SPEED. THOUGHT THE BUNKER SHOT WOULD ROLL OUT FASTER THAN IT DID AND JUST A PAR FOR JON. GOOD PAR AT THE FIRST, THOUGH,

SO HE’S NOT TOO DISAPPOINTED IN BEING EVEN THROUGH TWO. AND LIKE HIS IDOL SEVE, IF WE WERE TO WIN TODAY, HE’D BE THE OWNER OF TWO MAJOR TITLES. THE U.S. OPEN AND THE MASTERS. LIKE SEVE, THE OPEN AND MASTERS. BROOKS WITH A WIN WOULD HEAD TO THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP AT ROYAL

LIVERPOOL IN JULY WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO WHAT BEN HOGAN DID AT CARNOUSTIE IN 1953. JACK NICKLAUS AT MUIRFIELD IN 1966 AND TIGER IN 2000. COMPLETE THE CAREER GRAND SLAM BY WINNING THE CLARET JUG. LOOKED GOOD, DIDN’T IT? REALLY LOOKED GOOD. JUST TWO 5’S FOR THE LEADERS.

AND WE ALSO HAVE FIVE BEFORE THE AGE OF 33, LIKE TIGER. TREVOR: I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO HANG IN THERE, IAN. IAN: I DID TOO. SEEMED LIKE THE RIGHT SPEED. WELL, THEY’D — THEY’LL HEAD TO THE THIRD. IT’S A GOOD BIRDIE OPPORTUNITY WITH A GOOD TEE SHOT.

MAYBE MAKE ONE THERE AND HERE WE ARE. FRANK: THAT GIVES CANTLAY A LITTLE BIT OF A CHANCE. A SLOWER START. ANOTHER ONE THAT HIT DRIVER OFF THE TEE. THAT’S EXCELLENT. REALLY GOT THAT TO CHECK. UP AHEAD, FOUR. ANDREW: AND RUSSELL HENLEY, BACK-TO-BACK BIRDIES, NOW ON THE TEE WITH A 4-IRON.

SEVENTH MASTERS FOR HENLEY AND I THINK HE CLIPPED THE FLAGSTICK. TREVOR: SURE DID. WOW. ANDREW: LET’S GO BACK TO THREE. FRANK: AND KOEPKA WITH THAT DRIVER. A LITTLE BIT MORE LOFT ON THIS DRIVER. THAT’S MORE WHAT WE SAW THROUGH THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS WITH KOEPKA. THAT’S STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE.

THE OPENING TEE SHOT WAS VERY SHAKY BUT THE DRIVER, TOO, AND THAT ONE THERE, VERY IMPRESSIVE. SO THAT’S WHAT RAHM IS GOING TO HAVE TO MATCH. HE’S GOT POWER HIMSELF. DOTTIE: BOTH HIS FIRST TWO DRIVES, I THINK HE’D TELL YOU THEY WERE BOTH RIGHT OF WHERE HE WAS LOOKING.

GOT AWAY WITH THE LAST ONE. FRANK: WE NOTICEEDS THAT ON THE WEST COAST A LITTLE BIT. THE OVERCUT COMES IN. THAT’S MORE OF WHAT WE’RE USED TO. IT’S A BULLET. AND IT’S FINE DOWN THAT LEFT SIDE. CARRIES A VERY LOFTED WEDGE. SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO SPIN IT. OUR FINAL ROUND VERY MUCH UNDERWAY.

FOUR-TIME MAJOR CHAMPION KOEPKA LEADS RAHM BY JUST TWO. [language lesson] Bienvenida a casa… [repeating] Bienvenida a casa… [repeating] !Bienvenida a casa! Every time, man… Woman: !Rápido!

Venga, we’ll speak a lot of Spanish. Connecting CHANGES Everything. AT&T. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ The vehicle is all electric. The feeling is all Mercedes. The EQE Sedan from Mercedes-Benz. ♪ ♪ FRANK: WE’RE BACK. VIKTOR HOVLAND CAN GET WITHIN TWO. THIS IS A TRICKY PUTT. NO.

THAT BROKE SO HARD TO THE RIGHT. GOOD EFFORT. TO FOUR. ANDREW: AND A BIRDIE ATTEMPT FOR HENLEY, TRYING TO MAKE IT THREE IN A ROW. STILL IN FOURTH PLACE AT SEVEN UNDER PAR. TO THREE. FRANK: NOW CANTLAY. THESE GREENS HAVE GOT A LITTLE QUICKER. NOT QUITE MATCHING THE PACE AT THE MOMENT.

TO SEVEN. ANDREW: GARY WOODLAND FOR BIRDIE. YES. AND TREVOR JUST MENTIONED IT, THIS HOLE LOCATION TODAY AT SEVEN STARTING TO YIELD A NUMBER OF BIRDIES AS WOODLAND GETZ TO SIX UNDER PAR. JIM: JUST LAST SUNDAY THE 80 FINALISTS IN THE NINTH ANNUAL DRIVE, CHIP, AND PUTT CONTEST,

RANGING IN AGES FROM 7 TO 15 SHOWED OFF THEIR GOLF SKILLS. YOU CAN GET YOUR JUNIOR INTO THE GAME. GO TO DRIVE CHIP AND PUTT.COM TO LEARN MORE AND REGISTER FOR A LOCAL EVENT NEAR YOU. THAT WAS LAST SUNDAY AND WHAT AN ENORMOUS SUCCESS THAT HAS BECOME. THE DRIVE, CHIP AND PUTT.

AND THIS SUNDAY TURNING OUT TO BE A GORGEOUS ONE. AND THOSE TWO 5’S, TREVOR, AT THE SECOND HOLE, THAT SUDDENLY GAVE EVEN MORE HOPE TO THOSE WHO WERE TRAILING AND CLIMBING AT THE SAME TIME. TREVOR: SURE, YOU WOULD THINK THAT AFTER THE TWO TEE SHOTS THAT THAT FINAL GROUP HIT DOWN

THE SECOND, AT LEAST ONE OF THEM WOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT BUT NOT SO. FRANK: YOU SEE THEIR RESPECTIVE CADDIES WALKING THIS OFF. GOING TO BE VERY PRECISE. PLAYERS WANT TO KNOW ALSO HOW STEEP THAT BANK IS. WHETHER IT’S DRYER OR STILL VERY DAMP. DOTTIE: MOST DEFINITELY.

YOU’RE DEALING WITH A GOLF COURSE THAT’S CHANGING EVERY HOUR. FRANK: THE STATE OF THE ART SYSTEM WE’VE HEARD TO TRY TO TAKE AWAY THE WATER FROM THE GOLF COURSE. TOOK MORE THAN TWO INCHES OF RAIN AWAY IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS. NOW MOTHER NATURE IS ALSO TRYING TO HELP THE DRYING PROCESS.

DOTTIE: 33 YARDS IS THE TOTAL. 35 TO THE FRONT BUT YOU REALLY DON’T WANT TO CUT IT THAT CLOSE. YOU WANT TO GIVE YOURSELF A PUTT SO YOU’RE PUTTING UPHILL. FRANK: HE SAID HIS GOAL WAS TO STAY COMMITTED TO WHATEVER SHOT HE HAD. DOTTIE: EXACTLY. TREVOR: NOT THE TIME TO GET CUTE HERE.

15 FEET BY WILL BE GOOD. DOTTIE: CONTACT SOUNDED GOOD. LOVELY. FRANK: EXCELLENT. TOOK A BIG SKIP BUT THEN IT JUST JAMMED THE BRAKES ON. SO KOEPKA HAS TOUCH AS WELL. DOTTIE: HE’LL HAVE IT FIVE YARDS CLOSER. A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE. NOT THAT AWKWARD ANGLE ACROSS THE FRONT. FRANK: GOOD 12, 15 FEET BEHIND

THE FLAG. ACROSS TO 11, JORDAN HAD 208 IN HERE BUT THE SECOND SHOT CAUGHT THE EDGE OF THE BANK. DOWN — HENLEY DOWN IN LARRY MIZE TERRITORY. NEARLY A LARRY MIZE SHOT. LARRY MIZE, ALONG WITH SANDY LYLE BID THEIR FAREWELL TO THE TOURNAMENT THIS WEEK. FOUR. ANDREW: AND HOVLAND GOING WITH

5-IRON AT THE PAR 3. TREVOR: UNFORTUNATE TO GET THE SKIP GUARD OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE BUNKER THERE. THAT WAS A GREAT SHOT. ANDREW: AND NOW A LONG WAY HOME AT THE PAR 3/4 HOLE. TO 11. FRANK: PLAYING ALONGSIDE SPIETH. THREE-TIME MAJORS CHAMPIONSHIP, MICKELSON. — SIX-TIME MAJORS CHAMPION, THREE TIME MASTERS CHAMPION, MICKELSON.

SWITCH ACROSS TO THE FIRST NINE. DOTTIE, THE DOWNHILL PUTTS ARE STARTING TO LOOK QUICK AGAIN. DOTTIE: THE COLOR OF THE GREENS IS CHANGING, YEAH. THEY’RE STARTING TO GET A LITTLE SHINIER. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PUTTS THAT GIVES YOU FIND OF A FALSE ILLUSION SORT OF THING.

THE GREEN IS TO ITING TO THE RIGHT BUT THE HOLE SLOPE OF THE GOLF COURSE IS GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. FRANK: YOU REALLY HAVE TO FOCUS WHERE THE BALL IS GOING TO GO INTO THE HOLE. DOTTIE: DRAW THAT LINE BACKWARD. HOW CAN I GET IT THERE? FRANK: THIS PUTT IS MORE LIKE

ENTERING AT 9:00 IF HE WAS LOOKING AT A CLOCK FACE. DOTTIE: YEAH. GAVE IT A LOT OF RESPECT. WILL REMAIN AT 11, I PRESUME AND A CHANCE FOR RAHM. SO THE TWO MASTERS CHAMPIONS MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE 12TH. FRANK: NOW BACK TO THREE, A CHANCE TO PULL WITHIN ONE.

AND THAT’S THE LEFT-TO-RIGHT PUTT THAT IAN BAKER-FINCH WAS REFERRING TO. HE PUTTED SO WELL AT TORREY PINES. SOLID 4. THE NARRATIVE CERTAINLY CHANGED. THE SCOREBOARD IS CONDENSED. WILL HAVE TO MAKE PUTTS LIKE THIS. RAHM. EASTER SUNDAY. 40 YEARS SKINS BALLESTEROS WON HIS SECOND MASTERS. HE’S AWARE OF THE ANNIVERSARY. TO FOUR.

ANDREW: AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE HOVLAND IS LINING UP THIS BIRDIE PUTT. HE’S GOING TO TRY TO FEED IT OFF THE SLOPE TO TODAY’S HOLE LOCATION. TREVOR: PRETTY MUCH AT A 90-DEGREE HANGLE — ANGLE TO KEEP IT ON THE TOP SHELF AS LONG AS YOU CAN BUT DON’T MAKE THE

MISTAKE OF NOT HITTING IT HARD ENOUGH TO CREEP OVER. VERY, VERY DIFFICULT. BRILLIANT. ANDREW: REALLY WELL EXECUTED. TO 12 FRANK: ALONG WITH SPIETH, BIRDIES AT EIGHT, NINE, AND 10. OH, THAT’S A GOOD ONE. SO A CHANCE FOR ANOTHER BIRDIE. IF HE COULD POST — SURPRISE IT TOOK THE BACKWARD KICK.

SOME SAY THIS HOLE ALWAYS FAVORS THE LEFT-HANDER. IF YOU PULL IT, IT GOES A LITTLE FURTHER SO MAKES THAT CARRY ON THE RIGHT SIDE. IT’S JUST A PUFF OF WIND HE’S WAITING FOR, JUST TO GET THE FEEL OF THAT BREEZE. HE’S ALREADY BIRDIED THIS HOLE TWICE THIS WEEK. THAT’S A GOOD SHOT.

SPINS IT BACK HOLE HIGH. TO FOUR. ANDREW: AND PATRICK CANTLAY FOR BIRDIE. IN HIS SEVENTH MASTERS, A GOOD RUN THERE BUT THE WORLD’S FOURTH RANKED PLAYER. HE REMAINS FIVE BEHIND KOEPKA WHO’S WAITING BACK UP ON THE FOURTH TEE. TREVOR: THESE GUYS HAVE HAD TO WAIT QUITE A BIT SO FAR TODAY.

SO A BUYING FOR CANTLAY AT THE FOURTH. HOVLAND NOW WITH HIS PAR ATTEMPT. HE WOULD BE THE FIRST MALE MAJOR CHAMPION FROM NORWAY. BORN IN OSLO AND THEN A THREE-TIME ALL-AMERICAN AT OKLAHOMA STATE. AND STILL AT EIGHT UNDER PAR. FOUR PARS TO OPEN UP THE FOURTH ROUND FOR VIKTOR HOVLAND.

JORDAN SPIETH MAKING THE WALK ACROSS THE HOGAN BRIDGE, ALONG WITH PHIL MICKELSON ON WHAT’S TURNED INTO A GLORIOUS EASTER SUNDAY HERE IN AUGUSTA. THESE PLAYERS HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE WIND BUT EVERYONE IS THANKFUL THE SUNSHINE HAS COME OUT. JON RAHM, IN FACT, IS DOWN TO SHORT SLEEVES.

READY TO GO HERE AT THE FOURTH HOLE WITH A 5-IRON, DOTTIE. DOTTIE: 5-IRON THAT NEEDS TO STAY IN THE AIR. 225 TO GET OVER THE BUNKER. TREVOR: REALLY HIGH FLIGHT. ANDREW: LEFT OF TARGET AND THAT FOR BIRDIE. DOTTIE: THE GOLF BALL IS STARTING TO FLY. IT’S OVER 20 DEGREES WARMER THAN

IT WAS WHEN PLAY RESUMED THIS MORNING. TREVOR: THAT WILL BE A WELCOMED CHANGE FOR EVERYBODY OUT THERE. DOTTIE: YOU’RE TELLING ME. [LAUGHTER] TREVOR: INCLUDING YOU, DOTTIE. BUT THE COURSE WAS PLAYING SO LONG. DOTTIE: ANOTHER 5-IRON HERE. A GOOD LINE TO START. ANDREW: BUT SHORT. SO KOEPKA IN THE GREENSIDE BUNKER AT THE FOURTH.

WITH HIS LEAD DOWN TO ONE. OVER JON RAHM. TO FIVE. AND AFTER PUNCHING OUT FROM THE RIGHT SIDE, HENLEY’S THIRD. WILL GO THROUGH THE GREEN. TREVOR: THAT’S FEEDING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM THERE, TOO. SO LOTS OF ISSUES AT FIVE FOR HENLEY. JIM: THAT BIRDIE BY RAHM AT THE

THIRD WAS THE FIRST BIRDIE BY EITHER RAHM OR KOEPKA SINCE THE EIGHTH HOLE THIS MORNING. SOME SIX AND A HALF HOURS AGO. AND NOW THE MARGIN IS ONE. THE FINAL ROUND OF THE MASTERS. What if you could remaster The Masters fan experience? Like, what if fans could follow

All their favorite players, not just the top ones? Yes, with IBM Consulting you could use Watson to analyze the data of every shot and get AI-powered insights for every player. So people can follow the underdogs. The past champions. Even the long shots.

You calling me a long shot? Hello friends. Look at this… right at it! That’s a good call. That’s the personalized experience IBM and The Masters created. It’s a shot for the ages! What will you create? IBM. Let’s create.

What does it take to change the story of a boy… Young Boy: JASON PRESTON! Who fell in love with the game? Lost his mom at 16. Had to sleep on his best friend’s couch. And averaged just 2 points per game in high school.

What does it take? One viral video. ANDREW: BACK AT THE FOURTH HOLE WHERE JON RAHM WILL HAVE A BIRDIE PUTT AND BROOKS KOEPKA WILL BE PLAYING HIS SECOND OUT OF THE GREENSIDE BUNKER. DOTTIE: THE BALL IS SLIGHTLY ON THE UPSLOPE AND HIS FEET ARE

JUST A LITTLE ABOVE THE BALL. ANDREW: WHILE WE WAIT, LET’S GO TO THE EIGHTH HOLE. IAN: SHORT LEFT OF THE GREEN TO WOODLAND AT THE PAR 5. TRY AND PITCH IT UP HIGH AND LAND IT SOFTLY. BEAUTIFULLY DONE FORWOODLAND. U.S. OPEN CHAMP FROM WEBLE BEACH. TREVOR: HE’S HIT BEAUTIFUL SHOTS AROUND THE GREENS.

THE BUMP AND RUN AT THREE AND NOW THE HIGH LOB AT EIGHT. IAN: YEAH, THAT BUMP AND RUN AT THREE WAS SUPERB. BACK AT FOUR. ANDREW: KOEPKA’S SECOND. DOTTIE: RISKY TO LEAVE IT SHORT OF THE HOLE BUT HE DOES HAVE A BACKSTOP. ANDREW: TRYING TO USE THAT BACKSTOP. INSTEAD, IT STOPS. TO 12.

FRANK: AND DESPITE THE DOWNWIND CONDITIONS, THERE’S YET TO BE A BIRDIE HERE AT 12. SPIETH, TO GET TO SIX UNDER. HE’D BE THE FIRST. THAT’S A GOOD RUN. EVERYTHING BUT GO IN. SO SPIETH REMAINS AT FIVE UNDER, SIX BACK. TO FIVE. JIM: FOURTH SHOT FOR HENLEY. TREVOR: GOOD CONTACT. GREAT SHOT.

JIM: IS IT EVER. GET OUT OF HERE WITH A BOGEY AFTER LOSING HIS TEE SHOT RIGHT, HAVING TO PUNCH OUT. WE’RE BACK AT THE FOURTH. ANDREW: AND JON RAHM PUTTING FOR A SHARE OF THE LEAD. DOTTIE: AND A PUTT THAT DOESN’T HAVE AS MUCH FRIGHT FACTOR IN IT.

WORKING AWAY FROM THE CREEK UP THE SLOPE. ANDREW: SETTLES FOR PAR HERE AT THE FOURTH. AND STILL ONE UNDER ON HIS ROUND SO FAR TODAY. TO 12. FRANK: AND PHIL, HIS CHANCE TO BE THE FIRST BIRDIE HERE AT 12. HE’S ALREADY MADE TWO 2’S HERE THIS WEEK. MAKE THAT 3.

THE LAST MAN TO MAKE 42’S WAS 20 YEARS AGO, SCOTT PLANK. EXCELLENT 2 BY LEFTY. TO FOUR. ANDREW: DOTTIE, WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THIS PUTT FOR KOEPKA? DOTTIE: I SEE SPEED AND I SEE SOME BLEED TO THE RIGHT. TREVOR: ANDREW, I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A HUGE MOMENTUM PUTT FOR KOEPKA.

HE HAD THE WILD DRIVE AT ONE. DIDN’T GET IT UP AND DOWN AT TWO. LEAVES THE BIRDIE PUTT SHORT AT THREE AND NOW HERE IN A STRUGGLE TO SAVE PAR AND KEEP HIS LEAD. DOTTIE: AND IT’S JUST NOT A PUTT YOU CAN BE SUPER AGGRESSIVE WITH. ANDREW: HE WAS ASKED BETWEEN THE

THIRD ROUND AND THE START OF THE FOURTH ROUND ARE YOU CONFIDENT? AND HE SAID HOW COULD YOU NOT BE. AND YOU KNOW KOEPKA. A BOGEY HERE IS NOT LIKELY TO SHAKE HIS CONFIDENCE BUT THE LEAD IS GONE. WIFE TWO AT THE TOP AND HOVLAND NOW ONLY TWO BEHIND.

BIG SWING AT THE PAR 3/4 HOLE. AND RAHM MAKES A DETERMINED CHARGE TO THE FIFTH TEE. TO EIGHT. IAN: AFTER THE BEAUTIFUL PITCH, WOODLAND HAS THIS FOR BIRDIE TO GO SEVEN UNDER. YES, SIR. BEST MASTERS FINISH, 24TH IN 2011. JIM: TREMENDOUS SUNDAY CHARGE BY WOODLAND. WE’VE SEEN IT ALL THIS WEEK. THE WEATHER.

WE OPENED UP PLAYING IN THE 80’S ON THURSDAY. HOT AND STICKY. TEMPERATURES BEGAN TO DROP ON FRIDAY. THEN THE SYSTEM CAME THROUGH WITH THOSE GUSTS, PLAYING IN THE 70’S. 80’S AND 70’S AND THEN SATURDAY, WELL, THE HIGH WAS IN THE 40’S. 49. INCHED IT UP TO THE 50’S AT THE

START OF THE FOURTH ROUND AND NOW WE’VE CROSSED 60 DEGREES. 61, SO 40’S, 70’S, SIXTH, 70’S, AND 80’S, WE’VE SEEN IT ALL AND WE HAVE THE BEST FOR LAST. AND WE HAVE A TIE AT THE TOP. TREVOR: I KNOW. THIS HAS JUST BEEN A FANTASTIC DAY OF GOLF SO FAR.

JIM: HOVLAND, SECOND INTO THE FIFTH. UP AHEAD, BY THE WAY, HENLEY MADE THAT PUTT SO A GREAT UP AND DOWN FOR BOGEY. ASK VIKTOR’S GOING TO TUMBLE BACK TO THE FRONT. TREVOR: THAT MISS IS NOT AS BAD WHEN THE HOLE LOCATION IS PUSHED A LITTLE DEEPER THERE. JIM: STILL WADING UP AHEAD FOR

CANTLAY. BUT RAHM HAS MADE UP THE FOUR SHOTS. FOUR SHOTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY. WHEN WE AWOKE, IT WAS 13 UNDER AND NINE UNDER. SO — AND THIS IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE THE THIRD FOR CANTLAY ALSO. HE’S WELL PAST THE BUNKER SO HE HAD TO PITCH OUT ALSO.

WE SAW HENLEY UP AHEAD. SO HE BACKED UP THAT SHORT MISS AT THE FOURTH WITH AN ERRANT TEE SHOT AT THE FIFTH. ALL OF A SUDDEN HOVLAND IS TWO BACK AND GARY WOODLAND IS THREE BEHIND. AND YOU HAVE JORDAN SPIETH DOWN AT AMEN CORNER FIVE OFF THE LEAD.

DO SOMETHING CRAZY ON THE PAR 5’S, WHO KNOWS? CANTLAY WITH HIS THIRD. TREVOR: DIDN’T GET THE WIND RIGHT THERE. WOODLAND STARTED THIS FINAL ROUND EIGHT BEHIND. NOW ONLY THREE BACK. JIM: AGAIN, THE BIGGEST MASTERS COMEBACK ON A SUNDAY WAS EIGHT SHOTS. TREVOR: YOU MENTIONED IT. JIM: JUST WONDERING HOW MUCH IS

THIS GOING TO WEAR ON RAHM AND KOEPKA? BECAUSE THEY’RE BOTH REALLY SPEEDY PLAYERS. TREVOR: GOOD POINT. JIM: AND THEY’VE HAD TO WAIT A NUMBER OF TIMES. TOOK THEM NEARLY 40 MINUTES JUST TO PLAY THE FIRST TWO HOLES. THEY’VE WAITED ON FOUR, THEY’VE WAITED ON FIVE. NOW RAHM, CO-LEADER. NO PROBLEM.

TREVOR: RAHM HAS PLAYED THIS HOLE IN ONE OVER SO FAR THIS WEEK. KOEPKA, EVEN. JIM: WHAT’S KOEPKA FEELING RIGHT NOW? TREVOR: WELL, THINGS HAVE CHANGED A LITTLE BIT. ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT LEAD IS GONE. WHEN WE STARTED THIS MORNING, HE HAD A FOUR-SHOT LEAD. TIME TO REGROUP HERE.

LET’S STRING A FEW GOOD SWINGS TOGETHER. JIM: THAT’S ONE RIGHT THERE. TREVOR: LOOK, HE’S BEEN IN THIS POSITION SO MANY TIMES. NO TIME TO PANIC JUST YET. JIM: OVER AT NINE, SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER FOR BIRDIE. NOW THEY’RE DROPPING. THE PUTTER WAS ILL-BEHAVED FOR THE FIRST THREE DAYS. THAT’S 33, FIRST NINE AND HE’S

IN A TIE FOR SIXTH. 13 TEE. ONE OF THOSE HE’S TIED WITH IS JORDAN SPIETH AT FIVE UNDER PAR. TREVOR: KEEP TURNING. AND A NICE BOUNCE. JIM: GO ZONE FROM THERE? TREVOR: I THINK SO. THE FACT THAT HE’S UP THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE, WE WON’T BE BLOCKED OUT BY THOSE LIMBS THAT HANG OVER.

YOU CAN SEE THEM THERE. TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE SWING. SETTING UP FOR THE DRAW, AIMED WELL DOWN THE RIGHT. HE’S BEENER WORKING ON KEEPING THE RIGHT ARM CONNECTED AT THE TOP. LOW BODY FIRES. PUSHES THAT PATH OUT TO THE RIGHT. THAT’S WHAT CREATES THE DRAW. LET’S WATCH THE FRONT FOOT HERE.

HE’S ALWAYS HAD THAT TRADEMARK TWISTING ONTO THE LEFT SIDE OF HIS LEFT FOOT. JIM: BACK AT FIVE GREEN, HOVLAND. HAS TO NEGOTIATE ONE OF THE BIGGEST MOUNDS YOU’LL FIND ON ANY GREEN. THE CO-LEADERS AT 10 UNDER PAR. CANTLAY, BEHIND THE FIFTH. AND THAT WAS HIS FOURTH SHOT.

TREVOR: HE NEEDS TO MAKE THAT TO HAVE BACK-TO-BACK BOGEYS. THINGS GOING SOUTH ON HIM. JIM: GARY WOODLAND OUT THERE AT NINE. WHILE HE TALKS IT OVER, WE’RE GOING TO GO BACK TO HOVLAND. TREVOR: A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED WITH HIS FIRST PUTT THERE. I FELT LIKE HE COULD GET THAT

INSIDE OF FIVE OR SIX FEET. A LOT OF WORK LEFT HERE NOW. JIM: THAT IS A TREMENDOUS TWO-PUTT. YOU SO OFTEN SEE IT CARRY OVER TO THE NEXT SHOT. AT 16. VERNE: AND FREDDY COUPLES. — FREDDIE COUPLES. NICE. LET’S GO BACK TO FIVE. JIM: NOW CANTLAY. CAN’T AFFORD A DOUBLE. GOOD PUTT.

BUT HE DROPS TO FOUR UNDER. THAT’S TIED FOR NINTH. TREVOR: PART OF THE PROBLEM, HE’S GOT SO MANY GUYS BETWEEN HIM AND THE LEAD. JIM: OVER AT NINE. WOODLAND READY NOW. TREVOR: WIND OFF THE LEFT. A LITTLE BIT OF HURT AT NINE. A FULL CLUB SHORT. JIM: AT SIX. VERNE: AND HERE’S RUSSELL

HENLEY, SECOND SHOT. JUST OFF THE GREEN. OH, THAT HAD A GOOD CHANCE. AND WE’LL GO TO 13. JIM: AT 13, SPIETH, GOING FOR IT. TREVOR: AIMED RIGHT, TRYING TO SLING ONE IN THERE. >> SOFTLY! SOFTLY! IT’S EITHER IN THE BUNKER OR ON THE EDGE. JIM: YEAH, IT’S IN THE BUNKER.

TREVOR: HE HIT IT HIGH AND OFF THE TOE. THAT’S WHY IT HOOKED TOO MUCH. JIM: BACK AT THE FIFTH. RAHM HAS 208. DOTTIE: HE’S BEEN WAITING TO SEE IF THIS WIND CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WOULD LIKE TO DO. THAT’S A 6-IRON IN HIS HAND BUT HE’S BACKED OFF ONCE ALREADY.

TRACY: NEEDS AT LEAST 201 TO GET ON TOP. DOTTIE: YOU CAN’T MISS LONG OR LEFT EITHER. JIM: ONE-HANDED FOLLOW-THROUGH. GOING TO BE ON THE FRONT. DOTTIE: THAT WAS HIS MISS THIS MORNING AND IT’S CONTINUED. SHORT AND RIGHT. JIM: SIX. VERNE: AND HERE IS RUSSELL HENLEY. VIKTOR HOVLAND, BEG YOUR PARDON. >> SIT, SIT.

WELL, YOU CAN TELL BY THE FLAG THERE’S AN ABSENCE OF WIND HERE AT SIX. BUT A CHALLENGE. FOR THE YOUNG NORWEGIAN. BACK TO FIVE. JIM: KOEPKA. JUST 173. 35 YARDS CLOSER TO THE HOLE THAN RAHM. DOTTIE: PLAYING NO MORE THAN 160. JIM: COMFORTABLE PASS AT THAT ONE.

BUT IT DOESN’T GET AS FAR BACK AS HE HAD HOPED. TREVOR: HE’LL BE OK THERE. ON THE CORRECT LEVEL. JIM: AT NINE. WOODLAND. TREVOR: TRYING TO GO LONG AND LEFT TO USE THE SLOPE. IS IT GOING TO COME BACK FROM ALL THE WAY UP THERE? JIM: IT BETTER. TREVOR: OH, NO.

JIM: HE’S EVEN GOT THE WINDS THAT SHOULD HAVE HELPED HIM A LITTLE BIT. TREVOR: IT ONLY NEEDED TO COME DOWN ABOUT SIX INCHES, WOULD HAVE MADE IT TO THE HOLE. JIM: HE CAN’T BELIEVE IT. SIX. VERNE: AND PATRICK CANTLAY. HE’S POSING. AND THAT’S WHY. BEAUTIFUL SHOT. PATRICK CANTLAY.

AT ONE POINT IN 2019 HE HAD THE LEAD. THEN TIGER WOODS CAME CHARGING FROM BEHIND AND WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ The vehicle is all electric. The feeling is all Mercedes-AMG. The AMG EQS. ♪ ♪ What if you could remaster The Masters fan experience?

WITH A GOOD TEE SHOT AND HE’S FIRING AT THE PAR 5 IN TWO. TREVOR: WIND OUT OF THE RIGHT IS GOING TO HELP HIM CUT IT BACK INTO THE CENTER. YEAH. WELL PLAYED THERE. AND GETTING BETTER. JIM: HE’S PLAYING WELL. JUST THREE UNDER FOR THE DAY COMING HERE.

THERE YOU SEE RAHM OVER AT FIVE. DOTTIE: AUGHT ALL YOU WANT IN THIS PUTT. UPHILL ONTO A PLATEAU THEN TURNING DOWN INTO A BOWL. JIM: GOOD SPEED. WONDERFUL. GETTING CLOSE RIGHT THERE TO HIS FIRST-EVER BIRDIE IN MASTERS COMPETITION AT THE FIFTH HOLE. HE’S NEVER HAD ONE. AND HE’S GOT HIS PAR.

OF COURSE, THE ONE BIRDIE AT THE THIRD HOLE HAD QUITE A REACTION FOR SOME. [SPEAKING IN SPANISH] JIM: ONE OF OUR INTERNATIONAL FEEDS RIGHT HERE. [SPEAKING IN SPANISH] JIM: I TRUST THEY SAID VAMOS, JUST LIKE IT SAYS ON THE SHOES. LITERALLY MEANS WE GO BUT IN SPORTS PARLANCE, IT MEANS LET’S GO.

AND THAT IS KOEPKA’S ATTEMPT AT BIRDIE AT FIVE. KOEPKA, WHO FIRST QUALIFIED FOR THE MASTERS BACK IN 2015 BY VIRTUE OF HIS WIN IN PHOENIX. IT WAS HIS FIRST WIN AND IT WAS THE FIRST PRO EVENT, TOUR EVENT, THAT RAHM PLAYED IN. HE WAS AN AMATEUR GOING TO ARIZONA STATE AND HE FINISHED

FIFTH. YOU REMEMBER THAT. TREVOR: UH-HUH. JIM: FINISHED FIFTH AS AN ARIZONA STATE STUDENTS ATHLETE. WHEN KOEPKA WON FOR THE FIRST TIME. TREVOR: I REMEMBER WHEN HE WAS JUST TURNING PRO. PHIL MICKELSON WAS ALREADY TELLING THE WORLD THAT HE WAS A FUTURE WORLD NUMBER ONE. PHIL WAS RIGHT. JIM: OF COURSE, PHIL KNEW

BECAUSE HIS BROTHER TIM WAS THE GOLF COACH AT ARIZONA STATE AND THEN RECRUITED RAHM TO COME FOR THE U.S. PLAY FOR THE SUN DEVILS, WHERE HE MET HIS WIFE KELLY, WHO WAS ALSO A STUDENT ATHLETE. SHE WAS A JAVELIN THROWER ON THE TRACK AND FIELD TEAM. PAR FOR BROOKS.

TREVOR: GOOD NEWS FOR BROOKS IS HE MADE TWO NICE SWINGS IN A ROW THERE AT FIVE. SEE IF HE CAN JUST START TO GATHER SOME MOMENTUM. JIM: AT SIX. VERNE: AND VIKTOR HOVLAND. REMEMBER, HE WAS BEHIND THE GREEN. THIS IS HIS CHIP. TREVOR: NOT TOO BAD OF A SHOT, REALLY.

VERY, VERY DIFFICULT POSITION HE WAS IN. VERNE: RIGHT. LET’S GO TO NINE. JIM: AND WOODLAND UNFORTUNATE THE BALL NEVER TRICKLED. OFF THE TOP OF THAT RIDGE. JUST AN INCH OR SO. THIS IS SUCH A PARDON PUTT. TREVOR: JUST SHOWS HOW LITTLE THAT SHOT NEEDED TO MAKE IT WAY

ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN TO THE CUP. JIM: ALL SORTS OF WAYS HE COULD HAVE PLAYED THAT THIRD. HE DECIDED TO TRY TO PLAY IT WITH THE ANGLES AND SOMEHOW IT JUST DIDN’T PLAY OUT. SIX. VERNE: AND VIKTOR — OH, BOY. THERE’S A NORWEGIAN WORD THAT APPLIES. LUFTA. TO 13.

JIM: AND NOW JORDAN. TREVOR: OVER THE CREST OF THE SLOPE. PRETTY GOOD FOR SPEED BUT HE’S LOST IT LOW. JIM: PRETTY GOOD, THOUGH, HUH? TREVOR: I’LL TAKE IT. THAT’S EIGHT OUT OF 10. BACK TO SIX. VERNE: AND THIS ADVENTURE FOR VIKTOR HOVLAND CONTINUES. THE AGONY PROLONGED. TREVOR: HOVLAND FALLING TO SIX.

WOODLAND ABOUT TO MAKE BOGEY HERE AT NINE. JIM: NEEDS TO MAKE THIS FOR THAT BOGEY AND HE DOES. TREVOR: HE’S NOW AT SIX. ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE’S A FOUR-SHOT SPREAD BETWEEN THE TOP TWO AND THE PACK. VERNE: AND YOU’LL RECALL THAT SPLEN DID TEE SHOT FROM PATRICK CANTLAY. SO HE CONTRACTS BACK-TO-BACK

BOGEYS WITH A BIRDIE AT SIX. AND BACK ON THE TEE, RAHM AND KOEPKA. THESE TWO WITH A FOUR-SHOT EDGE OVER HOVLAND, WOODLAND AND RUSSELL HENLEY. JON RAHM FIRST. DOTTIE: HE’S GOT 7-IRON. FLAG CUT VERY CLOSE TO WHERE IT WAS A YEAR AGO IN THE FINAL ROUND. NO, SIR. VERNE: [LAUGHTER] OH, BOY.

NEEDED THREE OR FOUR MORE YARDS. TO 13. AND PHIL, FOR EAGLE. WHICH COULD PUT HIM INTO A TIE FOR THIRD. TREVOR: MADE A LONG PUTT BACK AT 12. JIM: IT RUNS OUT QUITE A BIT. [CAPTIONING FUNDED BY CBS SPORTS DIVISION] [CAPTIONING PERFORMED BY THE NATIONAL CAPTIONING INSTITUTE, WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS

SAME CLUB. VERNE: AND HE CANNOT. TREVOR: THAT’S THE SWIRLING WIND CREATING HAVOC. THESE TWO PLAYERS SWINGING THE SAME CLUB AND A HUGE DISTANCE DIFFERENCE THERE. VERNE: TO SEVEN. ANDREW: AND RUSSELL HENLEY WITH HIS APPROACH. CURRENTLY FOUR SHOTS BACK. AND THIS IS GOING TO GET BETTER. HENLEY HAS ABOUT 10 FEET FOR

BIRDIE AT SEVEN. 13. JIM: AND JORDAN MISSED HIS BIRDIE ATTEMPT. MICKELSON FOR 4. TO FIVE UNDER. PHIL MICKELSON MAKING A CHARGE HERE ON THIS SUNDAY. BUT RAHM AND KOEPKA CONTINUE TO DUEL. GREEN JACKET IS ON THE LINE AGAIN AT THE 87TH MASTERS. Connect two dots and change the whole plot.

IF YOU MISS, LEAVE IT UNDERNEATH THE HOLE. ALWAYS EASIER TO PLAY BACK UP THE HILL. VERNE: TO SEVEN. ANDREW: AND RUSSELL HENLEY, TO PULL WITHIN THREE OF THE LEAD. BACK TO KOEPKA. VERNE: AND DOTTIE? DOTTIE: THERE — THIS IS A MORE DIFFICULT SHOT THAN JON RAHM. A MISS COULD GO CRAZY.

VERNE: IT DOES. NOW WATCH. OH, HE GOT A BIT OF A BREAK. THAT WAS CHILLINGLY CLOSE. TO GOING DOWN IN RAHM TERRITORY. LET’S GO TO 14. ANDREW: AND JORDAN SPIETH, 172 TO THE HOLE. WITH THIS HOLE LOCATION, YOU WANT TO BE LEFT OF THE FLAGSTICK AND THEN WATCH IT WORK DOWN.

AND SPIETH EYEING THAT PLAN. JORDAN SPIETH SPINS A BEAUTY AT THE 14TH. AND A CHANCE TO GET TO SIX UNDER AND A SHARE OF THIRD PLACE. BACK TO SIX. VERNE: IT WILL BE KOEPKA NEXT. DOTTIE: IT’S ESSENTIALLY A FLAT PUTT. IF ANYTHING, IT MIGHT BE A TOUCH UPHILL.

THE PULL OF THE CREEK WANTS TO TUCK IT TO THE RIGHT EVER SO SLIGHTLY. TREVOR: DOTTIE, I’M STILL SURPRISED THAT BALL STAYED UP ON THAT TOM PLATEAU. DOTTIE: I AM WITH YOU. TRAIN IT’S JUST — TREVOR: IT’S JUST HANGING ON THE EDGE. DOTTIE: I’M ALSO SURPRISED HE WASN’T A LITTLE BIT QUICKER TO

GET TO THAT BALL. PUT A MARK ON IT. VERNE: LOOKS GOOD. ALMOST WAS. DOTTIE: THAT’S BOGEYS ON BOTH PAR 3’S. VERNE: AND SO JON RAHM CLAIMS SOLO POSSESSION OF THE LEAD. LET’S GO TO SEVEN. ANDREW: AND LET’S SEE IN HOVLAND CAN RESPOND AFTER THE DOUBLE BOGEY A HOLE AGO. 8-IRON HERE FOR HOVLAND.

AND THAT’S GOING TO TRY TO CATCH THAT RIDGE. WILL IT COME DOWN? NO. BACK TO SIX. VERNE: JON RAHM. AND WE HAVE A NEW LEADER! 1/3 OF THE WAY THROUGH THE FINAL ROUND ON THE SUNDAY AT THE MASTERS. TO SEVEN. ANDREW: AND PATRICK CANTLAY, WHO MADE EAGLE AT THIS HOLE 11 YEARS AGO.

JIM: DOTTIE, THAT WAS AS THUNDEROUS A REACTION FOR A PAR AS YOU’LL EVER HEAR AROUND HERE. DOTTIE: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. ANDREW: NOW THE TEE SHOT FROM KOEPKA. DOTTIE: CONTINUING TO PLAY QUICKLY. SITTING JUST FINE. ANDREW: SO BOTH IN THE FAIRWAY HERE AT THE PAR 4 SEVENTH HOLE. RAHM A LITTLE ENERGY AS HE MAKES

HIS WAY DOWN THE SEVENTH FAIRWAY. AND KOEPKA, NOW BEHIND BY ONE. MEANWHILE UP AHEAD ON THE GREEN, THIS IS HOVLAND FOR BIRDIE. JUST NOT ENOUGH. AND STILL FOUR OFF THE LEAD HELD BY RAHM. NOW AT THE 14TH HOLE. YOU SAW THE BEAUTIFUL APPROACH FROM SPIETH. THIS FOR BIRDIE.

HIS SEVENTH BIRDIE OF THE DAY. AND JORDAN SPIETH WITHIN FOUR OF THE LEAD. HEADED TO THE PAR 5 15TH. FIVE CAREER TOP THREE FINISHES IN THE MASTERS AND NOW SPIETH IS TIED FOR THIRD IN THE 87TH MASTERS TOURNAMENT. HERE’S CANTLAY. HIS FIRST TRIP TO AUGUSTA NATIONAL WAS IN 2011 AS A PATRON

AND HE WAS ACTUALLY DISAPPOINTED TO COME THROUGH THE GATES FOR THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE HE HAD LOST IN THE SEMIFINALS OF THE U.S. AMATEUR AND IF HE HAD WON HIS MATCH, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYING IN THAT MASTERS TOURNAMENT. A BIRDIE AT SEVEN FOR CANTLAY. BACK-TO-BACK NOW FOR PATRICK, TO

JOIN THAT SHARE OF THIRD. LET’S GO TO 10. IAN: AND THE SECOND FOR GARY WOODLAND HERE AT THE LONG PAR 4. BEAUTIFUL DRIVE. ONLY 173 LEFT. AT SIX UNDER, WOODLAND IS IN A TIE FOR THIRD. OH, NO. HE’S MISSED THE GREEN AGAIN. SO, A TRICKY LITTLE BUNKER SHOT UPCOMING FOR GARY WOODLAND AFTER

IAN MENTIONED IT BUT KOEPKA HASN’T MADE A BIRDIE SINCE THE EIGHTH HOLE OF HIS THIRD ROUND. TREVOR: IRON PLAY IS JUST NOT SHARP SO FAR. ANDREW: AND DOTTIE, RAHM WITH A BIG DRIVE HERE AT SEVEN. DOTTIE: JUST A PITCHING WEDGE LEFT. 113 TO THE HOLE. PLAYING LIKE 118. BREEZE FROM THE LEFT.

TREVOR: GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR HIM TO GET ONE IN CLOSE HERE NOW. TRYING TO CUT BACK. ON DREW: OH, YES. WHAT A SHOT BY RAHM. THE LEADER HAS A CHANCE TO TAKE IT TO 11 UNDER HERE AT THE SEVENTH. JIM: REMEMBER, RAHM WAS FOUR DOWN ENTERING THE DAY.

GOT IT TO TWO THROUGH 54 HOLES. AT THE SECOND, KOEPKA HAD THAT BIRDIE PUTT LIP OUT. HE HASN’T MADE A BIRDIE SINCE THE EIGHTH HOLE IN ROUND THREE THIS MORNING. THEN, RAHM SAYS LET’S GO. BIRDIE AT THE THIRD. AT THE FOURTH HOLE, KOEPKA WAS IN THE FRONT BUNKER, BLASTED OUT TO HERE.

LEANING ON THE PUTTER AGAIN FOR A PAR. DROPS ANOTHER SHOT. AND THEN AT THE SIXTH, KOEPKA’S LITTLE CHIP FROM BEHIND THE GREEN GOT AWAY FROM HIM. HE WAS FORTUNATE THAT IT STAYED UP TOP BUT HE WOULD MAKE BOGEY WHILE RAHM, WHO HAD COME UP SHORT OFF THE TEE, KNOCKED IT UP

THIS CLOSE, AND WITH THAT PUTT HAD THE OUTRIGHT LEAD. IT’S BEEN A STORY OF COMEBACKS IN MANY RESPECTS FOR JON THIS WEEK. I MEAN, AFTER ALL, HE OPENED THE TOURNAMENT WITH A DOUBLE BOGEY — FOUR-PUTT DOUBLE BOGEY AT THE FIRST HOLE ON THURSDAY. YOU CAN SEE HOW THE FINAL ROUND

HAS SWITCHED FROM A TWO-SHOT LEAD FOR KOEPKA TO A ONE-SHOT DEFICIT FOR BROOKS. BUT RAHM, WITH THAT FOUR-PUTT DOUBLE AT ONE, THERE’S ONLY BEEN ONE PLAYER IN THE HISTORY OF THIS TOURNAMENT THAT EVER DID THAT MADE DOUBLE AT ONE AND CAME ON BACK TO WIN IT. THAT WAS SAM SNEAD, 1952.

ANDREW: AND THROUGHOUT THIS FINAL ROUND WE’VE DISCUSSED THE HOLE LOCATION AT SEVEN AND JUST TO GIVE EVERYONE AN IDEA, THIS GREEN HOLE PLAYEDOVER PAR EACH OF THE FIRST THREE ROUNDS. IT’S CURRENTLY PLAYING UNDER PAR AND IF YOU CATCH THAT BOWL, LIKE RAHM DID. KOEPKA FAILED TO DO. WE’VE ALREADY SEEN SEVEN BIRDIES

HERE AT THE SEVENTH HOLE TODAY. TREVOR: BROOKS NEEDS A SPARK. HE NEEDS SOMETHING BIG TO HAPPEN. GET SOMETHING GOING. CHANGE THE ENERGY OUT THERE. A LITTLE MOMENTUM. ALL THE MOMENTUM SEEMS TO BE WITH RAHM RIGHT NOW. ANDREW: MADE A RUN AT IT BUT KOEPKA STILL CANNOT FIND A BIRDIE PUTT TO DROP.

TO 10. IAN: GARY WOODLAND NEEDING TO SPLASH THIS OUT ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WAY AND LET IT ROLL DOWN. THAT’S VERY NICELY PLAYED. BEAUTIFUL SHOT THERE FOR WOODLAND. SAVED HIS PAR AT 10. REMAINS AT SIX UNDER. BACK TO YOU, ANDREW, AT SEVEN. ANDREW: AND IAN, EVERYONE WILL REMEMBER AT 8:30 THIS MORNING

WHEN WE CAME ON THE AIR ON CBS, RAHM AND KOEPKA RESUMED THEIR THIRD ROUND RIGHT HERE ON THE SEVENTH GREEN AND THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE TWO-SHOT SWING WITH KOEPKA MAKING BOGEY, RAHM MAKING BIRDIE. A CHANCE FOR RAHM TO ADD TO HIS LEAD HERE AT THE SEVENTH. DOTTIE: YOU JUST DON’T GET

CHANCES LIKE THAT AROUND HERE THAT OFTEN. ANDREW: HE KNOWS IT, DOTTIE. DISAPPOINTING PAR FOR RAHM AT SEVEN. HERE’S KOEPKA FOR PAR, TO REMAIN ONE BACK. STILL ONLY ONE THREE-PUTT THIS WEEK. KOEPKA ONE BEHIND HEADING TO THE PAR 5 EIGHTH HOLE. TO 11. FRANK: GOOD SECOND SHOT, 180

YARDS INTO THE SAFE SIDE OF THE GREEN FOR SCHEFFLER. 40 FEET. SCHEFFLER! HE’S BACK IN THE MIX. TIED FOR THIRD, FOUR BACK. AND THAT WILL SEND A MESSAGE. TO EIGHT. IAN: HENLEY FROM 89 YARDS, HIS THIRD. OH, A LITTLE UNFORTUNATE. HAD THAT PITCHED ANOTHER YARD IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD.

REMEMBER, HENLEY WAS THE LEADER AT THREE ROUNDS AT THE 2021 U.S. OPEN THAT JON RAHM WENT ON TO WIN. AS JON MAKES HIS WAY BACK TO THE EIGHTH TEE HERE. AND CERTAINLY HAS THE LENGTH TO GET UP THERE AROUND THIS GREEN IN TWO. WHAT A GREAT WALK. AND HOW ABOUT THIS WALK AFTER

THAT BIRDIE AT 11 FOR SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER? FRANK: WELL, IAN, MAYBE THIS IS THE ONE THAT WAKES HIM UP. 40 FEET. HE JUST NEEDED THE GREENS TO BE QUICKER. JUST LIKE LAST YEAR. TRACY: IS THE SECOND SHOT OF SAHITH THEEGALA. ONE OF THE HOTTER ROUNDS ON THE COURSE RIGHT NOW. ANY GOOD?

THAT MOVES THE MASTERS ROOKIE TO SIX UNDER PAR. S’MORE DAD FROM INDIA. — MOTHER AND DAD FROM INDIA. THAT LOOKS VAGUELY FAMILIAR. VAGUELY. THIS WAS THIS GUY NAMED TIGER WOODS IN 2005. WELL, IT MIGHT AS WELL DROP IN. YEAH. I DO REMEMBER THAT. TO 15 JIM: DID YOU, IN YOUR LIFE,

THINK YOU’D SEE THAT A SECOND TIME, VERNE? VERNE: OH, GOODNESS. JIM: HERE’S MICKELSON ATTACKING. TREVOR: OH, YEAH. SO BOTH PAR 5’S ON THE SECOND NINE, MICKELSON ON THE GREEN IN TWO. JIM: TO 12. FRANK: THE WIND HAS STRENGTHENED A LITTLE. RIGHT BEHIND HIM. PLAYING LIKE 145. OH! TREVOR: OH, MY GOODNESS.

FRANK: THAT’S 10 YARDS UP THERE. THROUGH A MILE OVER THE BACK. 15. JIM: SPIETH. TREVOR: TRYING TO TURN IT AROUND THE PINES. DOWN AND OUT OF THE RIGHT IS THE WIND. HE’S BEGGING. JIM: WHAT A GLORIOUS SHOT THAT WAS. MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOMETHING BETTER ON THE COURSE, THOUGH, ABOUT THAT SAME TIME.

BASED ON THAT REACTION. LET’S GO TO EIGHT. IAN: AND RUSSELL HENLEY, THE GEORGIA BULLDOG. DOWN THE HILL, LONG BIRDIE ATTEMPT. LIVES IN COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. PLAYS OUT OF THE COUNTRY CLUB IN COLUMBUS AND A FRED HASKINS AWARD WINNER IS RUSSELL HENLEY. WAITING AT THE EIGHTH. AND THE LEADERS WILL BE BACK ON THE TEE.

SO WE HAVE THE SECOND TO LAST GROUP WAITING FOR THEIR SECONDS. THEY CAN REACH THE GREEN AND THEN THE LEADERS THERE AT THE TEE. PLAYING ALONGSIDE HENLEY IS HIDEKI MATSUYAMA. WHAT A WIN THAT WAS FOR JAPAN. HE IS AN ABSOLUTE SUPERSTAR IN JAPAN NOW. AND THAT’S A WONDERFUL BIRDIE FOR MATSUYAMA. FIVE UNDER.

JUST FIVE BACK. AND WE ALL KNOW ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN ON THAT SECOND NINE. LOTS OF BIRDIE AND EAGLE OPPORTUNITIES. AND LOTS OF PRESSURE ON THE LEADERS. I MENTIONED THE FRED HASKINS AWARD WITH RUSSELL. FRED HASKINS ACTUALLY TAUGHT AT THE COUNTRY CLUB OF COLUMBUS. THAT’S WHERE LARRY MIZE IS FROM

AND THE AMATEUR BEN CARR, WHO ALSO PLAYED THIS WEEK. RUSSELL TOO REMAIN SIX UNDER. 10 HOLES TO DO GO. A CHANCE TO WIN THE GREEN JACKET. HERE’S PHIL AT 15 JIM: LET’S GET TO HIS ATTEMPT AT EAGLE. WITH PHIL AND SPIETH ON THIS GREEN IN TWO. BOTH TRYING TO DO SOMETHING

DRAMATIC AT THE FINISH AND POST. TRYING TO BEAT THE OTHER TO GET THE EDGE GOING INTO THE CLUBHOUSE. LET’S GO TO EIGHT. IAN: HAS HE TURNED IT TOO MUCH? TREVOR: LOOKS LIKE IT TO ME. IAN: OH, THAT’S DESPERATE DOWN THERE. IF IT GOES DOWN IN THE PINE

STRAW, IT CAN FEED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO AN IMPOSSIBLE POSITION. REMEMBER, GREG NORMAN HIT IT THERE IN THE MASTERS IN 1996 WITH NICK FALDO. THAT WAS SORT OF THE START OF GREG’S FALLING APART THERE IN THAT FINAL ROUND. NOW VIKTOR. TREVOR: THIS IS A PERFECT ANGLE HERE UP THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OFF

THE TEE. FOR HIS THIRD. OH, WHAT A SHOT FOR HOVLAND. SENSATIONAL! AN EAGLE PUTT FROM THE PERFECT SPOT, SLIGHTLY UPHILL. CAN HOVLAND GET IT TO EIGHT UNDER? JUST TWO BACK WITH AN EAGLE? FRANK: IAN, JUST WHEN THINGS WERE LOOKING BETTER FOR SCHEFFLER, THAT TEE SHOT WENT OVER THE BACK THERE.

HE’S TAKEN AN UNPLAYABLE. LOOKED LIKE TAKING IT FURTHER BACK A GOOD 10, 15 YARDS BEHIND. DIDN’T LIKE THAT SO HE’S TAKEN THE OPTION OF GOING SIDEWAYS SO HE’LL NOW BE PLAYING 3. BACK TO YOU, IAN. IAN: BACK AT THE TEE. DOTTIE: BACK INTO A BREEZE THAT’S TRYING TO TURN A LITTLE

FROM THE RIGHT NOW. HE’LL HAVE TO HIT A BIG CUT. STARTED WITH THE BUNKER THIS MORNING AND GOT VERY LUCKY. IAN: THAT WAS A GOOD BREAK THIS MORNING. SORT OF LANDED IN THE BUNKER AND SKIMMED OUT. BUT THAT ONE IN GOOD SHAPE. I MAKE WRONG WITH THAT SECOND SHOT FOR HOVLAND.

THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIS THIRD. HE MIGHT HAVE HAD TO SPLASH IT OUT OF THE BUNKER TO THAT POINT. BIRDIE-EAGLE-BIRDIE. LIKES THIS HOLE. >> FORE! DOTTIE: THAT NEEDS TO GET DOWN QUICKLY AS WELL. INTO THE PINE STRAW. IAN: THAT’S TERRIBLE OVER THERE, AS BAD AS IT GETS. HE’S CERTAINLY LOST IT.

HE’S MISSED A FEW IRON SHOTS WITH THE LENGTH AND NOW MISSING LEFT AND RIGHT WITH THE DRIVER. THE CONDITIONS ARE SO MUCH DIFFERENT TO WHEN HE HAD THE LEAD IN THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS. BACK TO 18 FRANK: RISKY THIRD SHOT NOW AFTER THE PENALTY. WATER ACROSS THE OTHER SIDE. SETTLE.

HE’S DONE WELL, REALLY. FORTUNATELY, HE WAS DROPPING IT BACK INTO THE BREEZE. THE SUN IS CERTAINLY OUT ON AN EASTER SUNDAY. JON RAHM LOOKING TO BE SPAIN’S FOURTH EVER MASTERS CHAMPION. no big deal? Go on… Well, with IBM, you could use Red Hat software

AND HE ENJOYS THAT GROUP AT SIX UNDER PAR AND JOINS THEM. SCHEFFLER, SPIETH, CANTLAY, HOVLAND. THEEGALA. WOODLAND, HENLEY. AND NOW YOUNG. AS WE GO TO THE EIGHTH. IAN: AND CANTLAY THERE WITH HIS SECOND. HE CAN HOIST A HIGH LOB WEDGE UP THERE AND STOP IT NOWHERE NEAR IT. LIKE THAT.

THAT’S WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE GOOD BREAKS. AND HE COULD GO TO SEVEN UNDER AND A TIE FOR THIRD WITH A BIRDIE HERE AT THE EIGHTH. AND HOVLAND IS AT THE BACK OF THE GREEN PUTTING FOR BIRDIE, AS WE WATCH KOEPKA OVER ON THE LEFT.

HE IS IN THE PINE STRAW, DOTTIE. DOTTIE: HE IS, AND UNDER A VERY LARGE JAPANESE MAPLE. HE CAN PUNCH THIS OUT. IT NEEDS TO STAY VERY LOW FOR ABOUT 25 YARDS BEFORE IT GETS TO THE FAIRWAY. TREVOR: DO YOU THINK THERE’S ANY WAY AT ALL HE CAN GET IT UP ON TOP?

DOTTIE: ABSOLUTELY NOT. IAN: HE JUST NEEDS TO.NET IT WHERE HE CAN GET THERE IN 3. DOTTIE: HE’LL DO WELL TO GET THIS BALL, TREVOR, IN FRONT OF THE BUNKER. JIM: JORDAN MADE HIS BIRDIE. NOW PHIL FOR HIS. AND ANOTHER ONE AT SIX UNDER. SO SPIETH CLIMBS TO SEVEN UNDER WITH HIS TWO-PUTT BIRDIE.

THIRD ALONE FOR JORDAN NOW. AS WE GO TO THE EIGHTH. IAN: AND WE HAVE EIGHT PLAYERS AT SIX UNDER. SPIETH AT SEVEN. HOVLAND HAS THIS TO GET TO SEVEN. NOT TO BE. A COUPLE OF FEET LEFT FOR THE PAR BUT THE TEE SHOT WAS THE PROBLEM. NOW BROOKS PITCHING OUT.

WELL, HE AVOIDED THE BUNKER SO IF HE CAN GET A WOOD ON IT FROM THERE, GET IT UP ON THE GREEN OR AROUND THE GREEN, STILL MAKE THE PAR. DOTTIE: THAT WAS A SPECTACULAR EFFORT. COULDN’T HAVE DONE ANY BETTER. IAN: WE TALKED ABOUT THE CONDITIONS THE FIRST COUPLE OF

DAYS BEING SO PERFECT FOR THAT DRAW. THE LATE EARLY. AND I THOUGHT IT WAS POIGNANT THAT THOSE WHO PLAYED IN MISERABLE WEATHER LATER THAT DAY WERE GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER TODAY AND IN THE WINDS BECAUSE THEY’VE EXPERIENCED IT. AND I DON’T THINK BROOKS REALLY UNDERSTOOD THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN HOW IT WAS THOSE FIRST COUPLE OF ROUNDS AND THE HIGH HUMIDITY, 85 DEGREES AND THEN HOW DIFFICULT IT’S BEEN SINCE. BIG PUTT NOW FOR PATRICK CANTLAY. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE BREAK. A WIN HERE WOULD CERTAINLY ADD TO THAT DECORATED CAREER. EIGHT PGA TOUR WINS. LOW AMATEUR HONORS AT BOTH THE

MASTERS AND U.S. OPEN. THE HASKINS AND NICKLAUS AWARDS IN 2011. THE BEN HOGAN AWARD THE FOLLOWING YEAR. REPRESENTED THE UNITED STATES IN THE WALKER CUSTOM, PALMER CUP, RYDER CUP AND PRESIDENTS CUP. THIS FOR BIRDIE. AS FAST AS THEY ARE DOWN THE HILL, YOU JUST CANNOT HIT THEM FIRM ENOUGH TO HOLD THEIR LINE

TO16. VERNE: AND ON THE TEE, JORDAN SPIETH. WELL, THERE YOU HAVE IT. BACK TO PATRICK CANTLAY. IAN: AND THIS FOR PAR, VERNE. COMING OFF BIRDIES AT SIX AND SEVEN, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A NICE BOOST. MAKE UP FOR THE BOGEYS AT FOUR AND FIVE. AT 17. SAHITH THEEGALA AFTER THAT

SPECTACULAR CHIP-IN AT 16. CAN HE KEEP IT GOING HERE? OH! INTO THE BLEACHERS LEFT. WOW, THAT’S A HUGE MISCUE THERE. OH, MY GOODNESS. THAT’S 20 YARDS LEFT AND 20 YARDS LONG. BACK TO 16. VERNE: AND A MOMENT AGO HERE WAS PHIL MICKELSON. 6-IRON. THESE TWO HAVE HAD A TORRID

FINAL ROUND TO THIS POINT. LET’S GO BACK TO EIGHT. IAN: 300 YARDS FOR JON RAHM HERE. DOTTIE: 263 TO THE FRONT. THE FLAG CUT IN THE BACK LEFT, EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS A YEAR AGO. TURN IT OVER. THEN USE THE GROUND. IAN: JUST SHORT RIGHT OF THE GREEN, PERFECT ANGLE IN.

ABOUT 45 YARDS LEFT. BROOKS KOEPKA WILL BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. HE’LL BE PLAYING HIS THIRD. DOTTIE: IT’S THE THIRD EASIEST HOLE THROUGH THREE ROUNDS. 212 FRONT, 249 TO THE HOLE. IAN: WE HAD FOUR EAGLES THE FIRST TWO DAYS BUT NONE IN THE THIRD ROUND. DOTTIE: I THINK BROOKS HAD ONE

OF THESE IN THE SECOND ROUND. IAN: YES, HE DID. LONG IRON, TRY AND HIT A BULLET, RUN IT BACK THERE. DOTTIE: IT’S TRYING TO TURN TOO. IAN: YES, HE’S DONE IT. LOVELY SHOT. ON THE BETWEEN IN THREE. TWO PUTTS FOR THE PAR. AND TRY TO REMAIN ONE BACK OF JON RAHM. AT NINE.

JIM: RUSSELL HENLEY WITH THE APPROACH UP THE HILL. TREVOR: TRYING TO COME OVER THE CORNER OF THAT FRONT BUNKER. OH, THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT. THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT. JIM: THIS COULD BE IN. RUSSELL HENLEY. HE’LL GO TO SEVEN UNDER WITH THAT LITTLE ONE.

USED TO ATTEND THE MASTERS AS A YOUNG BOY. TO 12 FRANK: AND JUST LIKE THAT, JIM. SCHEFFLER WAS IN AN EIGHT-WAY TIE FOR THIRD. SPIETH MADE HIS BIRDIE AND, OF COURSE, THE DEFENDING CHAMPION, DOUBLE. HIS HOPES ARE DASHED. 16. VERNE: AND JORDAN SPIETH OUT OF THAT LEFT SIDE BUNKER.

TRIED TO USE THE BANK. TREVOR: I DON’T THINK HE GOT IT HIGH ENOUGH. VERNE: I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT, TREV. TREVOR: AS ALWAYS, TALKING TO HIMSELF. VERNE: [LAUGHTER] LET’S GO TO SEEING L.A. IAN: SECOND SHOT WAS WAY LEFT. NOW HIS THIRD. 17 AND 1 ONCE AGAIN, THE TOUGHEST TWO HOLES ON THE COURSE

IN THESE WINDY CONDITIONS. THAT LEFT FOR PAR FOR SAHITH. OVER TO 14. ANDREW: AND COMING OFF EAGLE, IT’S THE SECOND FOR CAMERON YOUNG, AND PULLS THIS ONE. WAY OFF TO THE LEFT AND UNDERNEATH THAT TREE I THE PINE STRAW. SO CAMERON YOUNG TRYING TO BUILD OFF THAT MOMENTUM BUT IN TROUBLE AT 14.

SOMEWHAT A GREAT-LOOKING LEAKED. WHAT A GREAT-LOOKING DAY. IT’S THE FINAL ROUND OF THE 87TH MASTERS TOURNAMENT. ♪ ♪ The vehicle is all electric. The feeling is all Mercedes. The EQS SUV from Mercedes-Benz. ♪ ♪ What if buildings could tell you how they could be more efficient?

Yup. That’s a big one. Now you’ve built something better for everyone. That’s the sustainability solution IBM and a global real estate company created. What will you create? IBM. Let’s create. IAN: THIRD SHOT FOR RAHM HERE AT THE EIGHTH.

DOTTIE: EVEN IF HE GOES THE HIGH ROUTE, HE CAN TAKE A LOT OF THE BREAK IN THAT SHOULDER OUT OF PLAY. I THINK THE GREENS ARE RECEPTIVE ENOUGH TO DO THAT. IAN: I AGREE. I THINK IF HE HAS A GOOD LIE, GOT THE LOB WEDGE, PITCH IT OVER

THAT SHOULDER YOU CAN SEE IN THE GREEN THERE, WITH THE PIN AND BRING IT DOWNRIGHT TO LEFT. TREVOR: HOW GOOD IS THIS TOUCH? IAN: JUST LIKE THIS. A TAP-IN FOR BIRDIE FOR RAHM. AND IT WILL TAKE, BARRING A MIRACLE PUTT FOR BROOKS, A TWO-SHOT LEAD. TO THE ANYTIME, AND ACTUALLY,

IT’S GOING TO BE A GOOD TWO-PUTT FOR BROOKS FROM WHERE HE IS. A GOOD 0 FEET UP OVER THE HILL. JUST SOMEWHAT HE NEEDED JUST AT THAT TIME, TREVOR. TREVOR: EXACTLY RIGHT. JUST TURNING UP THE HEAT MORE AND MORE ON KOEPKA. LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TAP THIS.

IAN: I CAN TELL YOU ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE SHOTS EVER PLAYED HERE AT THE EIGHTH WAS BACK IN 1967 WHEN BRUCE DEVLIN, THE GREAT AUSTRALIAN PLAYER WHO WON MANY, MANY TIMES ON TOUR, HOLED HIS SECOND SHOT FOR AN ALBATROSS HERE AT THE80’S. BUT THAT’S A BIRDIE FOR RAHM.

TREVOR: I REALLY LIKE THAT MOVE, GOING AHEAD TAPPING IN, GETTING THE CROWD REVVED UP AND BROOKS NEEDS A TWO-PUTT DESPERATELY NOW ON EIGHT. IAN: THE LAST BIRDIE BROOKS MADE WAS AT THIS HOLE EARLIER THIS MORNING. HE STARTED BACK WITH A BOGEY AT THE SEVENTH TO START HIS DAY. BOUNCED BACK WITH A BIRDIE.

DOTTIE: A BIT OF A BONUS TO HAVE THIS GIVEN THE TEE SHOT. BUT NOW HE HAS TO HAVE IT, REALLY. IAN: WONDERFUL EFFORT. BEAUTIFUL LONG-RANGE PUTT THERE FOR BROOKS KOEPKA. DOTTIE: THE MOMENT SUM ALL JON RAHM RIGHT NOW. IAN: WHAT A HUGE SWING IT HAS BEEN IN THE LAST 18 HOLES SINCE

THEY STARTED THIS MORNING. STARTED WITH A TWO-SHOT SWING BACK AT THE SEVENTH AND NOW WE HAVE RAHM WITH A TWO-SHOT ADVANTAGE WITH 10 HOLES TO GO. LOTS OF GOLF LEFT TO BE PLAYED, THOUGH. AND YOU’VE HEARD IT SAID MANY TIMES BEFORE — IT DOESN’T START IN THE THE SECOND NINE ON SUNDAY.

SO MANY PLAYERS WITH A CHANCE HERE. AT THE NINTH. JIM: CANTLAY. HENLEY UP AHEAD, HIS TAP-IN BIRDIE COMPLETE. AND THAT’S WIDE RIGHT. AT 16. VERNE: AND HERE’S PHIL MICKELSON FOR BIRDIE. AT THE 16TH. TREVOR: GOT TO HAVE IT IF HE WANTS ANY CHANCE. VERNE: DOESN’T GET IT. BACK TO NINE.

JIM: AND HOVLAND ALSO ONE OF THOSE AT SIX UNDER. TREVOR: STARTED WAY LEFT. BETTER START CUTTING. NO. THAT BUNKER IS EXTREMELY DEEP. JIM: 16. VERNE: JORDAN SPIETH, TRICKY LITTLE PUTT FOR HIS PAR. WELL DONE. TREVOR: NEEDS TWO 3’S TO FINISH AND A LITTLE HELP. VERNE: AGREED. HERE’S THEEGALA. ON THE TEE AT NINE.

RAHM WITH A TWO-SHOT LEAD. DOTTIE: BREEZE PUSHING TO THE RIGHT. ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TEE BOX WILL GIVE HIM THE MOST ROOM TO MOVE THIS BALL. TREVOR: MIGHT BE GOING FOR THE DRAW HERE. HE’S GOT THAT CLUBHEAD SET BACK A LITTLE BIT. LET’S SEE. YEP. JIM: GOOD CALL, TREVOR.

TREVOR: THIS IS SO GOOD. DOWN THE FAST LANE DOWN THE LEFT HANDS HERE. — LEFT-HAND SIDE HERE. BEAUTIFUL. JIM: AND NOW KOEPKA, WHO HAS GONE 18 HOLES WOULD BIRDIE. SINCE BIRDIEING THE EIGHTH HOLE EARLY THIS MORNING. 76 STROKES OVER THE NEXT 18 HOLES TO THIS POINT RIGHT HERE. HAMMERS THAT ONE, THOUGH.

TREVOR: THAT’S TWO GREAT TEE SHOTS. JIM: THAT’S TWO GREAT PLAYERS. TREVOR: MAN, THEY’VE BASEBALL US TODAY, HAVEN’T THEY? JIM: FROM SUN-UP ALMOST. 14. ANDREW: AND THE THIRD FOR CAMERON YOUNG. DOWN THE HILL. AND WHAT TOUCH FROM CAMERON YOUNG. THAT IS BEAUTIFUL. FROM THAT SPOT HERE AT 14. TO 16.

VERNE: AND ON THE TEE, RYAN FOX. 36-YEAR-OLD FROM AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND. HE’S MAKING MEMORIES. WE ARE IN THE FINAL ROUND OF THE 2023 MASTERS IN AUGUSTA. What if beer could get to the right place, at the right time, all the time? Not like that. Like this.

TREVOR: HE’S GOT TO GO ALL THE WAY UP TO THE EDGE OF THE BUNKER. OH, NO, HE HASN’T. HE’S CHECKED IT UP RIGHT ON TOP OF THE HILL. JIM: HE’S PLAYED IT BEAUTIFULLY. TREVOR: SO HE DECIDED NOT TO TRY AND USE THAT RIDGE THAT WOODLAND TRIED EARLIER. BRILLIANTLY PLAYED.

MUCH LESS MARGIN FOR ERROR FOR THAT OPTION. JIM: ALMOST, VERNE, AT 16. VERNE: WELL, HE’LL TAKE THAT BACK HOME TO NEW ZEALAND. RYAN FOX. WE GO TO NINE. JIM: AND HOVLAND. COMES SPLASHING OUT LATE. TREVOR: PRETTY MUCH AS GOOD AS YOU CAN DO WITHOUT HITTING THE FLAGSTICK. JIM: UP AHEAD TO 10

IAN: SECOND FOR RUSSELL HENLEY HERE ATTICA MEALA. — ATTICA MEALA. BRING IT IN WITH A LITTLE DRAW OFF THE BUNKER BUT NO. LIKE GARY WOODLAND, FINDING THAT SANDY DRIVE. HIDEKI MATSUYAMA IN THERE IN THE CENTER OF THE GREEN AS WE GO BACK TO THE NEEDN’T.

JIM: BEEN A LOT OF — NOT BEEN A LOT OF GOOD MOMENTUM OUT OF THIS PAIRING. I THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE BUT CANTLAY IS EVEN. VIKTOR IS TWO EVERY. TRYING TO STAY AT MINUS SIX OVERALL, IF HE CAN HOLE THIS FOR HIS PAR. TREVOR: NOT DONE YET. JIM: TO 17.

IAN: PHIL MICKELSON’S SECOND SHOT HERE FROM ON TOP OF THE HILL. WONDERFUL DRIVE. 175. >> COME ON, BE RIGHT. IAN: WHAT A SHOT FOR MICKELSON! OH, MY GOODNESS. A FOOT FROM AN EAGLE. IF HE COULD SOMEHOW FINISH INSIDE THE TOP FIVE. HE’D BE THE OLDEST PLAYER IN MASTERS HISTORY WITH A TOP FIVE

FINISH. CURRENT PLAYER WITH THAT DISTINCTION IS ANOTHER MASTERS CHAMPION, JIMMY DEMARET. BACK TO NINE. JIM: AND NOW TO CANTLAY’S PAR. THREE BIRDIES, THREE BOGEYS, THREE PARS. AND 17. IAN: PLAYING ALONGSIDE PHIL MICKELSON IS JORDAN SPIETH. HIS SECOND AT 17. HOW ABOUT THOSE TWO SHOTS? SECOND HARDEST HOLE ON THE

COURSE TODAY BUT NOT FOR THESE TWO. AT NINE. JIM: THE MICKELSON SHOT WAS STUNNING. HE SAID THIS WEEK HE WAS CLOSE TO GOING ON A TEAR. THE SCORES HADN’T BEEN THERE BUT HE FELT HE WAS HITTING IT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GOING LOW. AS HOVLAND ABLE TO GET HIS 5

THAT THREE AND A HALF-FOOT COMEBACKER. THERE IT IS AT 17. IAN: THE TAP TO GO SIX UNDER TODAY. AND IF HE COULD PAR THE LAST, FOR A 66, HE WOULD BE THE LOWEST SCORE IN ANY MASTERS ROUND BY A PLAYER 50 AND OLDER. TREVOR: HOW CREDIBLE IS THIS GOLF FROM THIS PAIRING HERE?

SPIETH AND MICKELSON? IAN: SO EXCITING. WHAT WE’RE SO USED TO SEEING ON THIS SECOND NINE ON MASTERS SUNDAY. UP TO 18. JIM: AND THEEGALA. OUT OF THIS GREENSIDE BUNKER. ANYTHING LIKE LAST YEAR? TREVOR: THIS COULD BE AN IMPORTANT UP AND DOWN HERE, TIE FOR NINTH. TOP 12 AND TIES GET BACK INTO

THE MASTERS NEXT YEAR. JIM: HOW BIG IS THAT UP AND DOWN? >> YES, IT’S ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. JIM: BACK AT NINE. WHEN PLAY RESUMED THIS MORNING AT 8:30, KOEPKA, FOUR IN FRONT. RAHM NOW TWO AHEAD. JON AND ADAM HAYES LOVE THAT NUMBER. SAID IT’S PERFECT. WE’LL SEE. DOTTIE: HAS TO STAY IN THE AIR

125 GET UP. TREVOR: RIGHT AT IT. JIM: OH, EASY. THERE’S MORE OF A GENTLE LEDGE. DOTTIE: THAT’S NOT A GENTLE ROLLBACK, THOUGH. JIM: NO, IT’S GOT SOME SPEED TO IT. TREVOR: THAT BALL NEEDED TO LAUNCH LOWER COMING OFF THE DOWNSLOPE. DOTTIE: EXACTLY. JIM: KOEPKA NOW WITH A CHANCE TO POUNCE.

DOTTIE: A COUPLE OF YARDS CLOSER, PITCHING WEDGE. JIM: IT STAYS. NO TELLING HOW CLOSE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN. TREVOR: IF THAT JUST TOUCHES THE GREEN IT GETS PROBABLY AROUND FIVE FEET. JIM: IT WAS A LOW BALL FLIGHT FOR RAHM. TREVOR: YEAH, BALL BELOW HIS FEET AND ON A DOWNSLOPE.

SO IT DIDN’T STAY IN THE AIR AS LONG AS WHAT IT ORDINARILY WOULD. JIM: 17. IAN: CAN HE MATCH PHIL WITH A BIRDIE OF HIS OWN? THIS TO GO EIGHT UNDER. AND HE’S MADE IT! JORDAN SPIETH IS NOW EIGHT UNDER PAR AND THREE BACK. HE WILL HAVE THE MOST TOP FIVES

OF ANY PLAYER AT THE MASTERS BEFORE THE AGE OF 30 HE’S ALREADY TIED WITH TIGER, JACK, SEVE AND GARY BUT A TOP FIVE TODAY WOULD BE SIX TIMES, AS WE GO TO 1. JIM: AND THEEGALA, FOR A ROUND OF 67. THERE YOU GO. WHAT A MASTERS DEBUT FOR SAHITH.

THE PEPPERDINE STAR, BORN IN ORANGE, CALIFORNIA. NOW LIVES IN TEXAS. AND HE AT FIVE UNDER IS TIED ANYTIME. SO TOP 1 AND TIES. THAT’S KEY, AS YOU SAID, TREVOR. WILL GET YOU THE RETURN INVITE FOR NEXT YEAR. SO RAHM IS GOING TO HAVE THIS LITTLE UPHILL SHOT. KOEPKA’S IS GOING TO BE SO

SPEEDY HE’S GOING TO HAVE SOME DIFFICULTY THERE JUST TRYING TO GET IT TO STOP. DOTTIE: THIS SHOT FOR JON IS NOT DISSIMILAR TO THE SECOND HE HAD TOO HIT AT SIX. UP OVER THAT RIDGE AND PUT THE BRAKES ON QUICKLY. TREVOR: DO YOU LIKE THE DIRECT ROUTE OR TAKING IT UP INTO THE

LEFT CORNER AND BRINGING IT BACK? DOTTIE: I THINK THERE’S ROOM TO GO TO DIRECT ROUTE. TREVOR: OK, THAT SEEMS TO BE SOMEWHAT HE’S SET UP FOR. JIM: EASY. DOTTIE: THAT’S WHERE YOU DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE IT. JIM: NO, YOU DON’T WANT ANYTHING LAST LOOKING DOWNHILL ON THIS GREEN.

[CAPTIONING FUNDED BY CBS SPORTS DIVISION] [CAPTIONING PERFORMED BY THE NATIONAL CAPTIONING INSTITUTE, WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS CAPTION CONTENT AND ACCURACY VISIT NCICAP.ORG] JIM: WE’RE AT THE 10TH. IAN: AND THIS FOR PAR FOR RUSSELL HENLEY. HE BANGED IT IN. AND A FIST PUMP TO GO WITH IT. TIED FOR FOURTH AT SEVEN UNDER.

BIRDIE AT NINE, PAR AT 10. HERE’S CAM YOUNG. AT 15 TREVOR: HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE SEEN PLAYERS COME UP SHORT TO THOSE BACK HOLE LOCATIONS AT 15 THIS WEEK. SPIETH DID IT JUST A LITTLE WHILE BACK. DROVE IT LEFT. HAD TO LAY UP. JUST THE PAR AT THE PAR 5.

JIM: AT 18, JORDAN SPIETH. THIS REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF 2018 WHEN HE WAS ABLAZE TRYING KEEP UP — CATCH UP TO PATRICK REED. HE MISSED HIS TEE SHOT LEFT AND MADE BOGEY. STILL SHOT 64. MY GOODNESS, HISTORY REPEATING A LITTLE BIT HERE. TREVOR: HE’S GOING TO NEED A LITTLE LUCK HERE.

JIM: I COULDN’T TELL, DID THAT COME OUT? TREVOR: DIDN’T SEE. JIM: THAT WAS THE DAY ON 18 WHEN HE NEEDED PAR FOR 63. DROVE IT LEFT, MADE BOGEY AND SHOT 64 AND FINISHED TWO BACK, THIRD ALONE, WHICH IS WHERE HE RESIDES RIGHT NOW. MEANWHILE, KOEPKA. HOW ABOUT THIS PUTT, DOTTIE?

DOTTIE: FASTEST HE’S CERTAINLY HAD SINCE YESTERDAY AND ANY PART OF TODAY. ALSO DOWNWIND. THE SPEED IS A FOOT ONTO THE GREEN, NO MORE. TREVOR: FROM A SPEED PERSPECTIVE, THE FIRE IS BACK IN THESE GREENS. JIM: MEANWHILE AT 18 ON THE TEE, PHIL. 16 BIRDIES COMBINED OUT OF THIS PAIRING.

BACK AT NINE AND IT WILL BE KOEPKA FIRST. TREVOR: EVEN THOUGH THINGS AREN’T GOING HIS WAY, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HIM TO MAKE THIS, PUT A LITTLE HEAT ON RAHM. JIM: THERE’S AN OLD STORY AROUND HERE. THE FIRST TIME ARNOLD PLAYING WITH BEN HOGAN. HE SAID DON’T SPEAK TO HIM

DURING THE ROUND. WHAT DID HE SAY? HE SAID ONE TIME, YOU’RE STILL AWAY. THIS FOR PAR. WOW. TREVOR: MESSY, MESSY OPENING NINE. JIM: SO CLOSE OFF THE FRINGE. COULD HAVE BEEN SO SNUG. UNLUCKY THERE FOR BROOKS. WE’RE AT 12. FRANK: AND PATRICK REED. MADE 2 YEAR ON SUNDAY. GOING TO BE ANOTHER GOOD

MASTERS. MICKELSON THE ONLY ONE TO MAKE BIRDIE, UNTIL THAT ONE. SO REED WILL GET A CHANCE AT TWO PAR 5’S. ANXIETY THE DOUBLE BOGEY ON THE PAR 5. PLAYED GREAT SINCE THEN. NINE. JIM: IF HE MAKES THIS, HE GOES TO THE SECOND SIDE THREE IN FRONT. DOTTIE: THAT JUST GAVE LIFE TO A

LOT MORE PEOPLE. JIM: INCLUDING JORDAN SPIETH, WHO’S NOW TWO BACK BUT IN TROUBLE AT THE 18TH. WE’RE SEEING WITH SPIETH AND MICKELSON, REED, THESE MASTERS CHAMPIONS, EVERYONE SCHEFFLER EARLIER, THEY KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO ON SUNDAY. TREVOR: THEY’VE SEEN IT AND FELT IT. BUT STILL, HE’S FLIPPED THE SCRIPT.

WAS TWO BEHIND TO START. JIM: THIS IS, AGAIN, WE’VE TALKED ABOUT IT SO MUCH. THIS IS THE NOT ANNIVERSARY OF SEVE’S LAST WIN. IT’S ALSO SEVE’S BIRTHDAY, APRIL 9 AND IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE HIS CADDIE WALKING BEHIND RAHM RIGHT HERE. IT’S 49. THIS IS RANDOM BUT IF YOU’RE A NEWSPAPER ROLLS —

NEWSPAPEROLOGIST. YOU GET A NUMBER. NUMBER ONE GOES TO THE DEFENDING CHAMPION AND RAHM HAPPENED TO BE THE 48TH TO REGISTER OF SO HE GOT NUMBER 49. 4-9-POLITICAL 9 — APRIL 9. IT IS TODAY. SEVE, HIS FINGERPRINTS WILL ALWAYS BE ON THIS GAME A WIN IN 1980. AND 1983, WHICH IS A MONDAY FINISH.

40 YEARS BACK AND IS HE EVER MISSED. JORDAN AT THE 18TH, TANGLED UP IN THE MAGNOLIAS. SEE A LITTLE WINDOW THERE, TREVOR. TREVOR: AT LEAST HE’S GOT A SWING. WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE GREAT SEVE. THIS MAN PLAY AS LITTLE BIT LIKE SEVE. JIM: GOT TO MAKE 4 AT THE WORST.

YOU ALSO HAVE TO HOLD OFF MICKELSON IN YOUR OWN PAIRING. TREVOR: AND MICKELSON IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FAIRWAY. 180 YARDS, PLAYS ABOUT 12 UP THE HILL. WATCHING THAT MAGNOLIA LEAF RIGHT BEHIND HIS BALL. WILL THAT AFFECT IT? JIM: CAUGHT A LITTLE BIT OF THAT MAGNOLIA BRANCH. RICOCHETED IT RIGHT.

ON THE TEE AT 10. IAN: WITH A TWO-SHOT LEAD, NINE HOLES TO GO. DOTTIE: 3-WOOD, TRYING TO TURN IT AROUND THE CORNER, WIND HELPING. DELIVERED. IAN: ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. COULDN’T HAVE WALKED IT DOWN THERE ANY BETTER. JUST NINE HOLES TO GO. CAN HE BECOME A TWO-TIME MAJOR CHAMPION? JUST ACROSS TO THE RIGHT FROM

THE 10TH TEE IS THE 18TH GREEN. JIM: YEAH, WHERE PHIL MICKELSON HAS BEEN KNOCKING DOWN SOME FLAGSTICKS. 18 THE NUMBER ONE MOST DIFFICULT HOLE IN THE FINAL ROUND SO FAR. YIELDING ONLY TWO BIRDIES. SAM BURNS, HAROLD VARNER. HE LOVES THIS ONE TOO. >> SIT! JIM: STUCK IT ABOUT 15 FEET.

IT IS SOME PERFORMANCE BY PHIL. BACK TO 10 IAN: HE’S GOT SOME WORK TO DO TO COME BACK FROM THIS POOR START. HE’S JUST OUT OF SORTS. TREVOR: HE HIT IT WAY RIGHT THIS MORNING WITH THE 3-WOOD. NOW GONE DOWN TO THE IRON AND ALMOST IN THE SAME SPOT.

IAN: HE STAYED IN THE GRASS BUT HE’S GOING TO BE OBSTRUCTED FROM THE TREE THERE. RUSSELL HENLEY AT SEVEN UNDER PAR THROUGH 10 PHIL MICKELSON MAKING A CHARGE HERE WITH A BIRDIE PUTT AT THE LAST. JORDAN SPIETH, SEVEN UNDER ON HIS ROUND IS EIGHT UNDER. KOEPKA HAS TO GET SOMETHING

GOING BECAUSE THIS GUY, JON RAHM, LOOKS LIKE HE’S IN CONTROL. the story of a boy… Young Boy: JASON PRESTON! Who fell in love with the game? Lost his mom at 16. Had to sleep on his best friend’s couch.

And averaged just 2 points per game in high school. What does it take? One viral video. Announcer: The 33rd pick of the 2021 NBA draft, Jason Preston! Connecting Changes Everything AT&T. What if you could make analyzing a big bank’s data…

no big deal? Go on… Well, with IBM, you could use Red Hat software to adopt a hybrid cloud approach that connects data across multiple systems globally, then analyze all that data with Watson. Okay, but this needs to meet our… Security standards? Yup.

Compliance standards? Mm-hmm. So they get the insights they need… Yup… in real time… Check. …to make quick decisions? Check. Aaaand check. That’s the hybrid cloud solution IBM and a global bank created. What will you create? IBM. Let’s create. >> OH, MY GOODNESS

>> YES, SIR! IN YOUR LIFE, HAVE YOU SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT? >> CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? >> AN UNBELIEVABLE PUTT BY MICKELSON. >> THE RETURN TO GLORY. SCHEFFLER OUTSHINES THEM ALL. AT AUGUSTA. WHAT A SCENE THAT WAS A YEAR AGO AND WHAT DO WE HAVE IN STORE ON THIS EASTER SUNDAY?

BECAUSE THIS WENT FROM SOMETHING THAT LOOKED LIKENED THE VERY WELL BE A TWO-MAN RACE TO WHERE NOW THERE ARE SO MANY POSSIBILITIES AND YOU SEE HOW DIFFICULT THROUGH THREE ROUNDS THIS SIDE IS 1, SECOND OVERALL FOR THE WEEK AND HERE COMES THE THIRD AT THE 18TH FOR SPIETH.

OH, IT CHECKED UP ON HIM WAY TOO SOON. TREVOR: SO A CHANCE FOR A TWO-SHOT SWING THERE WITH HIM AND MICKELSON AT 1. JIM: AT 10. IAN: FOR PAR, FOR CANTLAY TO REMAIN SIX UNDER. HE’S MISSED THREE SHORT ONES TODAY. AT 11. FRANK: AND RUSSELL HENLEY, RIGHT ABOUT NOW, PARS ARE VERY IMPORTANT.

ESPECIALLY AT THIS HOLE. THAT’S THE SPEED THAT WASN’T THROUGH FRIDAY AND EARLY IN THE MORNING ON SATURDAY. 16. JIM: EVER SO DELICATE. AND THERE IT GOES. TREVOR: ABOUT AS GOOD AS HE COULD DO. JIM: YOUNG, AT SIX UNDER PAR. BACK AT THE 10TH AND DOTTIE, HOW BAD IS IT BACK THERE FOR BROOKS?

DOTTIE: HE DOES HAVE A WINDOW. NOT SAYING IT’S A COMFORTABLE OR WIDE ONE BUT THERE IS A WAY TO GET THIS BALL I BELIEVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GREEN. 231 YARDS TOTAL. 205 TO THE FRONT. IAN: SOME GOOD ADVICE THERE FROM CADDIE RICKY ELLIOTT. TRUST YOUR SHOT, TRUST THE WIND. DOTTIE: 6-IRON.

IAN: STAYED UP ON THE BANK RIGHT OF THE BUNKER. MAY BE ABLE TO GET ENOUGH SPIN TO BE ABLE TO KEEP IT CLOSE TO THE FLAG WITH THE PITCH. NOT EASY, THOUGH. AS WE HEAD UP TO 18. JIM: YOU HAVE SPIETH WITH A PAR PUTT. I BELIEVE HE’S AWAY, AND THEN

YOU HAVE MICKELSON WITH A BIRDIE BID. THESE TWO HAVE BEEN FEEDING OFF ONE ANOTHER TODAY, TREVOR. TREVOR: SURE HAVE. JUST INCREDIBLE GOLF. SPIETH ACTUALLY LEADS THE FIELD IN BIRDIES IF — FOR THE WEEK WITH 21 IS JIM: TO THINK HOW WELL THESE TWO KNOW EACH OTHER. WHEN SPIETH FIRST MADE THE

NATIONAL TEAM IN 2013, FRED COUPLES PICKED HIM FOR THE CAPTAINS CUP. HE AND PHIL. NEEDS THIS FOR HIS PAR. ONCE AGAIN, THE TEE SHOT AT 18 GOT HIM. ON A DAY THAT HE WAS BRILLIANT. BACK AT 10. IAN: YES, IT’S GREAT TO SEE HIM CONTENDING IN MAJORS AGAIN, ISN’T IT? FORMER CHAMPION HERE.

JON NOW, 8-IRON FROM 191. OBVIOUSLY HELPING BREEZE. DOTTIE: YES, THAT TEE SHOT TURNED THIS INTO A BIRDIE OPPORTUNITY. THIS IS ON A REALLY NICE LINE TO START. IAN: LEFT HIMSELF AN UPHILL ATTEMPT FOR BIRDIE AT 10. 10 AND 11 WITH PARS. GET IT OVER RAE’S CREEK AT 12. A COUPLE OF PAR 5’S.

18. JIM: AND NOW PHIL CAN LEAPFROG OVER SPIETH AND CAN SHOOT 65 IF HE HOLES IT. THE THREE-TIME WINNER HERE. TREVOR: THIS IS A GREAT LOOK. SHOULD JUST BREAK DOWN TO THE RIGHT. JIM: BIGGEST PUTT OF HIS LIFE WAS ON THIS GREEN IN 2004. HE’S DONE IT AGAIN! AND HE POSTS EIGHT UNDER.

TRACY: BRILLIANT SECOND NINE FOR MICKELSON. BACK IN 31. JIM: AND IT’S HIS LOWEST MASTERS FINAL ROUND EVER. I THINK IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE HE’S BEEN ABLE TO BREAK OUT A SMILE. SPIETH COMES IN AT SEVEN UNDER, 66. AND NOW, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN WHEN YOU LOOK UP IF YOU’RE RAHM

AND YOU SEE EIGHT UNDER IS? HOW MUCH PRESSURE DOES THAT APPLY? YOU DO HAVE THE TWO PAR 5’S AND ALL THAT BUT YOU KNOW EIGHT UNDER IS IN. TRACY: YEAH, HE HAS SET THE MARK NOW. RAHM WILL NOTICE THAT DOTTIE: HE JUST LOOKED AT THE LEADERBOARD THAT’S LEFT OF THE 10TH GREEN.

TREVOR: THERE YOU GO. HE WOULD HAVE HEARD THAT ROAR AS WELL. JIM: OLDEST PLAYER TO FINISH IN THE TOP FIVE, JIMMY DEMERRITT, WHO WON HERE THREE TIMES. PHIL, OF COURSE, A THREE-TIME WINNER. IN THAT GROUP THAT’S WON IT THREE TIMES. GARY PLAYER AND SIR NICK FALDO. TREVOR: WATCH THE REACTION.

JIM: CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN WHAT WOULD BE FOR HIM A FOURTH GREEN JACKET. THAT WOULD TIE HIM WITH ARNOLD PALMER. TREVOR: I IMAGINE HE’S GOING TO BE POSTED UP IN THE CHAMPIONS LOCKER ROOM NEAR A TV FOR A LITTLE WHILE SEEING HOW THINGS UNFOLD. JIM: OVER AT 10.

IAN: THIS BALL IS WAY ABOVE HIS FEET AS WELL. DOTTIE: IT IS. CALLING ON A LITTLE HOUDINI AND A LITTLE LUCK. IAN: BEAUTIFULLY PLAYED. NICE AND SHORT. IT’S COME UP SHORT. DOTTIE: REALLY GOOD JOB FROM THERE. I’LL BELT HE DIDN’T THINK HE COULD LEAVE THAT SHORT FROM THERE. GOOD SOLID LOWER HALF.

LET THE RIGHT-HAND RELEASE. USE THE BOUNCE OF THE CLUB. FOUND THE BOTTOM, THE TURF. WELL DONE. NOW RAHM FROM ABOUT 20 FEET FOR BIRDIE. UP THE HILL RIGHT TO LEFT. I KNOW HE’S SEEING THE BALL, DOTTIE BUT EIGHT UNDER, I DON’T THINK THAT’S GOING TO TROUBLE HIM WITH THE BACK NINE, THE

SECOND NINE HERE BE SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR BIRDIES. AT LEAST HE KNOWS THAT THERE’S SOMEONE IN AT EIGHT BUT I THINK HE’S THINKING MORE LIKE 12. DOTTIE: I’M SURE HE IS, BUT REMEMBER, HE DID NOT MAKE A BIRDIE ON THE SECOND NINE THIS MORNING. IAN: THAT’S RIGHT, HE THREE-PUTTED BOTH PAR 5’S.

DOTTIE: IT’S BEEN PRETTY LEAN. IAN: THAT’S A GOOD WAY TO START THIS SECOND NINE, THOUGH, WITH A PAR AT 10. JIM: IAN, I KNOW THE CONDITIONS ARE FAR BETTER RIGHT NOW BUT HE DID SHOOT 38 ON THIS SIDE THIS MORNING. IAN: YES. 10 UNDER, EIGHT TO GO. AT 13.

JIM: AND PATRICK REED PLAYING HIS THIRD. TREVOR: GO BEYOND IN HOLE LOCATION AND SPIN IT BACK. THAT WAS FROM 76 YARDS. STARTING TO GATHER SOME SPEED NOW. WELL DONE. JIM: GOT A THUMBS UP FROM XANDER SCHAUFFELE WHO’S PLAYING WITH HIM. XANDER AT THREE UNDER PAR, EVERYONE FOR THE DAY.

WE’RE BACK AT THE 10TH. IAN: YOU WOULD THINK TO KEEP SOME SORT OF POSITIVE THOUGHT COMING INTO THESE LAST EIGHT HOLES, KNOCK THIS ONE IN FOR PAR. RIGHT THE SHIP. DOTTIE: OUTSIDE THE HOLE RIGHT. AND HE’S DONE IT. THAT WAS A VERY GOOD CONFIDENT PUTT FOR BROOKS. HE NEEDED IT.

BUT TWO BEHIND JON RAHM. THEY’LL HEAD BACK UP TO THE 11TH TREE WITH THE TOUGHEST PAR 4 OF ALL COMING. JON RAHM LEADING THE WAY HERE AT THE 87TH MASTERS BY TWO. FROM PHIL MICKELSON, A RESURGENT 65 TODAY TO FINISH TWO BACK. ♪ ♪ The vehicle is all electric.

AND BACK UP TO 11 TEE, FRANK? FRANK: HE SITS THERE ON THE TOP AND DOTTIE, YOU GO BACK TO 2012. IT WAS PHIL’S BROTHER TIM THAT RECRUITED JON WHEN HE WAS A 17-YEAR-OLD SO I WONDER IF THAT NAME HAS A DIFFERENT VALUE ON TOP? DOTTIE: THAT’S A GOOD POINT.

FRANK: WIND AT HIS BACK. IT’S HAMMERED. HE SHOULD GET SOME RELEASE ON THAT DOWNSLOPE. CERTAINLY MAKES THE SECOND SHOT EASIER. CANNOT AFFORD TO GET AHEAD OF HIMSELF, THAT’S FOR SURE. MATTER PLAY AT 11, 12, 13, 15 AND 16. KOEPKA KNOWS THAT. HE’S BEEN IN THIS POSITION BEFORE. DOTTIE: SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE

REENGAGED AFTER THAT UP AND DOWN FOR PAR AT 10. FRANK: REMEMBER IN 2009, THE EARLY START. HE WAS TWO BACK WHEN THEY PLAYED GROUPINGS OF PLAY THAT MORNING. SIMILAR EXPERIENCE MIGHT HELP. NOW AT 12, HENLEY, MADE THE PAR PUTT BACK AT 11. THIS WOULD TIE MICKELSON AT EIGHT UNDER.

AND NOW, THAT IS A TRICKY ONE COMING BACK. ALWAYS MACHINE IMPORTANT TO GET INSIDE THE CLUBHOUSE. 13. JIM: PATRICK REED HAS A BIRDIE PUTT. TO SEVEN UNDER. AGAIN, THESE CHAMPIONS ARE MAKING A CHARGE. THEY’VE WON IT BEFORE. REED TO SEVEN UNDER. SPIETH FINISHED AT SEVEN UNDER WITH 66. AND PHIL MICKELSON ONCE AGAIN,

BEATING FATHER TIME WITH 65. HE’S IN SECOND. TIED SECOND. er to change. Connect two dots and change the whole plot. Connect one day and change a long week.

TIE FOR 11TH. 200 YARDS INTO HERE. 30 FEET LEFT. OUTSIDE CHANCE FOR BIRDIE. HE IS STRIDING DOWN. 11:30 P.M. RIGHT NOW IN SPAIN. I’M SURE THEY’RE AWAKE. 17. IAN: NOT SURE OF THE LINE. THIS BACK RIGHT HOLE LOCATION. GOOD APPROACH IN HERE WITH THE WIND. THE WIND ALWAYS SWIRLING AROUND

ON TOP OF THE HILL HERE. DIFFICULT TO PULL THE RIGHT CLUB. YOUNG TO GO SEVEN UNDER. WHAT A PUTT FOR CAM YOUNG! REMEMBER, HE FINISHED A SHOT BEHIND CAM SMITH IN THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP LAST YEAR, MAKING AN EAGLE ON THE LAST HOLE AT ST. ANDREWS. HE IS A BIG-TIME PLAYER.

WON’T BE LONG BEFORE HE BREAKS OUT. FRANK: NOW CANTLAY. TOO FAR BEHIND, BUT AT LEAST THAT HELPS. WE’VE SEEN A LOT OF EAGLES ON 13 IT’S POSSIBLE EVEN THOUGH IT’S BEEN LENGTHENED. TO 16. VERNE: AND HERE’S MATTHEW FITZPATRICK FOR BIRDIE. THERE WE ARE. BOGEY AT 15 BUT HE FOLLOWS UP

WITH A BIRDIE AT 16. AND WE GO BACK TO 11. KOEPKA. DOTTIE: 183. THAT WIND IS STILL UP THERE. THAT BALL TURNING OVER. TREVOR: AGGRESSIVE. FRANK: OH, DIGS IN THE GREEN. HE SENT THE MESSAGE. YOU THINK HE’S PUMPED UP? [LAUGHTER] FRANK: THAT REALLY IS THE MAYOR’S OFFICE. HE WAS BORN IN 1994.

THE YEAR THOUGHT THAT BELIEVE WON. OLAZABALABLE WAS 28 IN 1994. JON RAHM IS DIURNAL 88. DOTTIE: 9-IRON, FRANK. FRANK: WHAT? DOTTIE: 9-IRON. TUCKED IT A LITTLE BIT THIS MORNING. THAT IS RIGHT AT THOSE THREE TREES, TREVOR. TREVOR: BEAUTIFULLY PLAYED. EXACTLY WHERE HE WAS AIMING. FRANK: A — THE GROUP AHEAD. AT 12, HOVLAND.

DOES HE GO FLAG HUNTING? THAT WILL DEPEND ON THE LIE. SO HARD TO JUDGE OVER RAE’S CREEK. 13. JIM: SAM BENNETT. HE WAS IN THE FINAL GROUPING OF ROUND THREE. HE’S GOING TO SPIN THIS ONE. TREVOR: OH, YEAH. THIS IS A LITTLE LIKE PEREIRA WHEN HE HOLED IT TO EAGLE. ALMOST.

JIM: HE’S GOING TO GET HIS BIRDIE. HE CAN GET INSIDE TOP 12 IF HE PICKS UP ANOTHER BIRDIE RIGHT HERE. THIS IS THE FIELD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TOURNAMENT. SAM THE ONLY ONE TO PLAY THE LAST TWO ROUNDS BUT CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM ALL, GAVING — QUALIFYING FOR THE MASTERS. WE’RE ON 12

IAN: CANTLAY. PITCHING WEDGE. SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH WIND IS BEHIND AND THAT WAS CIVIL OVER THE BACK. SO VERY TOUGH TO JUDGE. NOT A BAD LEAVE. CAME IN WITH SO MUCH PROMISE TODAY. AND THEY’RE ALL LOOKING TOWARDS 11 AS RAHM AND KOEPKA MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE GREEN.

THE SUN IS FINALLY SHINING NOW IN THE CORNER AFTER ALL THE INCLEMENT WEATHER THE LAST FEW DAYS. JUST AFTER 5:30 P.M. AND TREVOR, YOU’RE IN THIS POSITION, NEVER GETTING YOUR WAY OVER THIS CLOSING STRETCH. YOU HAD A LEAD. TREVOR: IT’S ALL ABOUT KEEPING YOUR BALL DRY. YOU TOUCHED ON IT A MINUTE AGO.

FIVE OF THE NEXT SIX HOLES, WATER COMES INTO PLAY. THAT’S WHY I LOVED THE STRATEGY RAHM WENT WITH. EVEN THOUGH HE BOOMED THE BALL DOWN THERE. MAKE THE SMART PLAY, 30 FEET OUT TO THE FIGHT. VERY, VERY EASY FOR YOUR MIND TO START RACING TOO FAR AHEAD. TAKE A FEW DEEP BREATHS, RESET.

FRANK: HE’S GOT TO KEEP PICKING TARGETS, DOESN’T HE? THE RIGHTS TARGETS. TREVOR: COMMITTED SWINGS TO CONSERVATIVE TARGETS. DOTTIE: EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID AFTER THE THIRD ROUND. HE HAS TO STAY COMMITTED. AND I THINK THERE’S A DISCIPLINE TO IT TOO. THERE’S A MENTAL DISCIPLINE AND THERE’S A PHYSICAL DISCIPLINE WITH PICKING THOSE TARGETS.

IAN: — FRANK: BEAUTIFUL SPEED. HE KNOWS 11 AND 12 ARE DIFFICULT. HE’LL HAVE DECISIONS TO MAKE ON 13 AND 15. 17 AND 18 TWO OF THE HARDEST HOLES ON THE GOLF COURSE GOOD 4. JUST NEEDEDDED A TOUCH MORE SPEED. CAN’T BLAME HIM, THOUGH. BUT IT DOES OPEN THE DOOR JUST A

LITTLE FOR THIS MAN. DOTTIE: SAME SHAPE TO THIS PUTT, LESS SPEED. FRANK: IT WAS NEVER ONLINE. JUST NEEDS TO STRING A COUPLE OF SHOT TOGETHER. WE’VE SEEN THAT BEFORE IN THE PAST. HE CAN MAKE BIRDIES IN A HURRY. WE GO TO 13. JIM: SAM BENNETT. WITH A BIRDIE.

MOVE HIM UP TO 17TH POSITION. HERE’S 12 FRANK: HOVLAND. HIS GAME CONTINUES TO GET BETTER. NO ISSUES TEE TO GREEN. SHORT GAME STARTS TO TIGHTEN UP. HE’S WORLD CLASS, WE KNOW THAT NOW KOEPKA. 4 IS FINE. THE GAP IS STILL TWO. AS I SAID EARLIER, HE WAS IN THIS SITUATION IN 2019.

HE WAS TWO BACK. MOLINARI HAD THE LEAD THAT DAY. NOW JUST OVER THE BANK AT 1, KAMM — 12, CANTLAY. SPEED IS STILL THERE. SO TIME RUNNING OUT FOR CANTLAY. NEED THAT AND AT LEAST THREE BIRDIES TO CATCH MICKELSON FOR A SPOT IN THE CLUBHOUSE. HE’LL WAIT FOR THE GROUP AHEAD.

THAT INCLUDES CANTLAY AND HENLEY. GIVE HIM A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME, TOO, JUST TO ASSESS THE WIND BACK ON THE TEE, GET A FEEL FOR THAT. SHOULD JUST TURN A FRACTION TO HIS LEFT. WELL DONE. SO THAT’S A GOOD UP AND DOWN FROM THE BACK. MIXED BAG, REALLY.

JUST THE MISS ON THE OPENING HOLE. 14. ANDREW: AND THE SECOND FOR PATRICK REED. TOOK A WHILE BEFORE HITTING THIS SHOT. THE WIND HAS BEEN FLUCTUATING HERE AT THE 14TH GREEN AND HE COULD NOT FIND THE RIGHT CLUB. THAT ONE GOES LONG FOR REED. TREVOR: THAT IS GOING TO BE

LIGHTNING FAST FROM BACK THERE. ANDREW: BACK TO 13. JIM: AND MORIKAWA HAS THIS FOR BIRDIE. THERE YOU GO. MIXED BAG OF BIRDIES AND BOGEYS. THE TWO-TIME MAJOR CHAMPION. NOW, THIS IS ABOUT AS IMPORTANT A SHOT AS HE’LL EVER FACE. >> ALL RIGHT, BUD, IT’S YOUR SHOT. DOTTIE: 9-IRON IN HIS HAND.

FRANK: THAT’S PLENTY. DOTTIE: 143 DIRECTLY AT THE FLAG IF YOU DARE TO DO THAT. THAT WOULD COVER. FRANK: THAT’S GOOD JUST HIT IT SMOOTH. TREVOR: THAT IS TEXTBOOK RIGHT THERE. DOTTIE: THAT’S THE DISCIPLINE. FRANK: ONLY NINE YARDS BETWEEN THAT FRONT BUNKER AND THE BRACE OF BUNKERS AT THE BACK.

TREVOR: HE PLAYED WITH TIGER WOODS IN THE FINAL ROUND LAST YEAR. WHAT AMAZED HIS CADDIE YESTERDAY. HE SAID HE WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY TIGER WAS WORKING HIS IRON SHOTS INTO ALL THESE HOLE LOCATIONS, HOW SMART HE PLAYED THIS GOLF COURSE. DOTTIE: THAT IS NOT GOING TO THREATEN THE FLAGSTICK.

FRANK: YEAH, POOR SOFT. — SHOT. JUST STRUGGLED, REALLY. OPENED UP 65-67. LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GOING TO INCREASE THE LEAD. 14. AN DRAW: AND SCHAUFFELE IN THE FAIRWAY WITH HIS APPROACH AT 14. LOOKING GOOD ON THE LEFT SIDE. NOW IT WILL COME BACK DOWN. THAT’S HOW YOU DO IT.

SCHAUFFELE WITH ONE OF THE BEST OF THE DAY HERE AFTER THE 14. UP TO 18. JIM: CAM YOUNG, COMES HERE AT SEVEN UNDER, WHICH IS ONE BEHIND MICKELSON, WHO’S IN. >> I AGREE, THERE’S NO REASON TO. BEEN WAITING ALL DAY. FLAG IS BLOWING. TREVOR: GOOD CADDYING THERE FROM PAUL TESORI.

JIM: REMEMBER, HE MADE EAGLE AT ST. ANDREWS THE 72ND HOLE TO FINISH SECOND TO CAM SMITH. EXACT SAME THING THAT HE DID AT THE 14TH TODAY. AND OFF OF 15 TEE, MISSED IT WAY LEFT AS WELL. JIM: 14. ANDREW: AND TREVOR ALREADY WARNED US HOW FAST THIS PITCH IS FOR REED.

NOW WHERE WILL IT STOP? OK, BACK-TO-BACK BIRDIES FOR REED BUT THAT PUTT IS FOR PAR AT 14. TO 13. JIM: HERE’S THE THIRD SHOT FOR HENLEY. TREVOR: 104 YARDS. SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET PLENTY OF SPIN. JIM: IS IT COMING DOWN? TREVOR: IT’S GOING DOWN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIDGE.

DIDN’T CATCH ENOUGH OF THE SIDE BANK. SO A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING FOR HEN LIVE. — HENLEY. JIM: ONE OF THE MOST STRESSFUL SHOTS THAT YOU’LL FACE WHEN YOU’RE SITTING ON THE LEAD AT AUGUSTA. THAT MISSION HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED AND WHAT A RELIEF THAT HAS TO BE. OF COURSE, YOU CAN’T LET YOUR

GUARD DOWN AT ANY POINT BUT THAT’S THE ONE THAT DEEPS YOU UP AT NIGHT. TRACY: YES, STAYED IN HIS ROUTINE. DIDN’T TAKE EXTRA TIME AND MADE A BEAUTIFULLY COMMITTED SWING. JIM: 14. ON DREW: — ANDREW: REFED FOR PAR. SO HIS MOMENTUM STALLS. BACK TO 12. FRANK: IT’S AMAZING WITH JON

RAHM, HIS AMATEUR CAREER. HE SPENT 60 WEEKS AS THE BEST AMATEUR IN THE WORLD YET NEVER PLAYED HERE AS AN AMATEUR. PLAYED THE U.S. OPEN, MADE THE CUT THERE. BROOKS KOEPKA WENT TO EUROPE WHEN HE FIRST TURNED PROFESSIONAL. GOT SIX WINS THERE THEN CAME STATESIDE. STILL LOOKING FOR MAJOR NUMBER FIVE. NEEDS MAGIC.

AND DOESN’T HAVE IT. IT’S NICE TO SEE HIM HEALTHY, THOUGH. BOTH KNEES HAD TO BE OPERATED ON. DEFT — LEFT KNEE BY DR. ANDREWS AND THE RIGHT WENT BUT NEIL ALATRESH. TOOK HIM THREE YEARS TO GET FULLY HEALTHY. NOW RAHM. HE’LL HAVE SOME 40 FEETOUT TO THAT TEE SHOT. 14.

ANDREW: ONLY FOUR BIRDIES AT 14 TODAY. SCHAUFFELE FOR BIRDIE. STILL ONLY FOUR BIRDIES AT THIS PAR 4 IN THE FINAL ROUND. BACK TO 12. FRANK: THE FIRST PART OF THIS PUTT SLOW UP THE HILL. THEN IT FLATTENS OUT, TURNS RIGHT. DOTTIE: YES, AND ALSO THE SHADOWS THAT ARE PART OF THE EQUATION.

A LITTLE BIT SHORTER BUT SIMILAR SHAPE TO THE PUTT THAT TIGER HAD HERE FOR BIRDIE IN 2019. TREVOR: JUST PLAY IT A LITTLE EXTRA BIT. DON’T GET IT LOW. IF IT GETS LOW, THAT’S WHEN IT WILL START TRICKLING TOO FAR FROM THE HOLE. SEEMS TO HAVE KEPT IT NICE AND HIGH. GREAT PUTT.

FRANK: STRESS-FREE. TREVOR: THE LAST TWO HOLES, REALLY, FRANK. BOTH TIMES WITH CAN SHE RECALL THE — CONSERVATIVE PLAY TO THE GREEN AND THEN THE PERFECT SPEED ON THE PUTT, JUST LEAVES A LITTLE TAP-IN FOR PAR. FRANK: TWO-SHOT CUSHION APPEARERS OK AT THE MOMENT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS DIP INTO

THE HISTORY BOOKS. HE KNOWS THAT. HE’S A SMART MAN, HE KNOWS THE HISTORY OF THIS GOLF COURSE, ESPECIALLY ON THE SECOND FINAL AND KEN — NINE. AND KOEPKA, SOMEHOW THIS HAS TO GO IN. DIDN’T TAKE ANY TIME AT ALL, REALLY. AND WORK TO BE DONE. HE’LL MARK. WE GO TO 13.

JIM: YOU HAVE HENLEY, SEVEN UNDER. FOR BIRDIE. AND SHOWING TOO MUCH RESPECT FOR THE SPEED. STILL FLUMMOXED BY THAT THIRD SHOT HE THOUGHT HE’D GET CLOSE. 18, YOUNG. TREVOR: VERY DIFFICULT SHOT, THIS. GOING FOR THE BUMP. STICKY FIRST BOUNCE THERE. JIM: THE BUMP AND STOP. NOT THE BUMP AND RETURN.

AND KOEPKA HAS NOT, AGAIN, MADE A BIRDIE, AS HE’S GOT THIS FOR BOGEY, IN 22 HOLES, FRANK. FRANK: YEAH, IT’S A DIFFERENT MAN TO THE ONE WE SAW THROUGH THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS AT THE MOMENT. YEAH, THAT WAS WELL DONE. AT ONE STAGE HE HAD IT TO 13 UNDER.

THAT WAS WHEN HE BIRDIED THE SECOND HOLE IN ROUND THREE. THEN RAHM, MUCH HAS BEEN MADE, THE EXTRA 35 YARDS ADDED TO THE 13TH. MAKES THE DECISION EVEN HARDER THIS YEAR AND TREVOR, IT’S INTERESTING. IT’S PLAYED MORE LIKE IT DID IN YEARS GONE BY. YOU HAVE TO HIT A GOOD TEE SHOT.

TRACY: ABSOLUTELY. NOW THE DECISION NEEDS TO BE MADE ON BOTH SHOTS. THE TEE SHOT, HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO HUG THAT LEFT-HAND SIDE AND BRING RAE’S CREEK INTO PLAY AND THEN IF YOU MANAGE TO PULL THAT OFF, YOU’RE GOING TO BE GOING IN WITH A LONGER CLUB.

THE GOOD NEWS WITH THAT WIND IS THAT ON THE TEE SHOT, THE WIND WILL BE COMING TO THE RIGHT. THEY CAN BUY ROOM ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE AND TRY TO COKES IT BACK TO THE RIGHT CORNER IF THEY WANT TO. BEAUTIFUL VIEW RIGHT THERE. JIM: WE’RE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER

WAIT ON OUR HANDS. AT 15, JUSTIN ROSE FOR BIRDIE. THREE UNDER. FOR THE WINNER THIS YEAR AT PEBBLE BEACH. TREVOR: HIS 18TH MASTERS. JIM: HE’S BEEN A CONTENDER MANY TIMES, INCLUDING IN THE PLAYOFF WITH SERGIO SIX YEARS BAG. — BACK. HOVLAND’S SECOND, 13. TREVOR: RIDING THAT WIND. A LITTLE HOLLOW.

TREVOR: THE BALL IS SO FAR ABOVE YOUR FEET HERE AND YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN’T HANG ON TO IT BECAUSE THEN THE CREEK LOOMS. JIM: THIS WAS THE STRETCH THIS MORNING WHEN HE GOT HIMSELF INTO CONTENTION WITH FIVE CONSECUTIVE BIRDIES. HE NEEDS START THAT AGAIN. THIS IS FOR PAR.

TREVOR: TO JOIN SPIETH IN THE CLUBHOUSE AT MINUS SEVEN. JIM: KEEP GOING. AND NOW RAHM’S TEE SHOT AT 13. A LITTLE AGGRESSIVE BUT HE’S GOING TO GET AWAY WITH IT. TREVOR: THIS IS SO GOOD RIGHT HERE. THIS IS SO GOOD. JIM: THAT SURPRISE YOU AT ALL? YOU KNOW HE LOVES HIS LEFT TO

RIGHT. HE GOES WITH A DRAW AND PLAYS IT BEAUTIFULLY. TREVOR: 100% I WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD IF HE TOOK THE 3-WOOD AND JUST PLAYED SAFE LIVE OUT TO THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE BUT EVEN THOUGH HIS FAVORITE SHOT IS LEFT TO RIDE HE STILL STOOD UP THERE AND RODE THAT WIND AROUND THE CORNER. TREMENDOUS.

JIM: AND NOW KOEPKA. DOTTIE: IF HE’S GOING TO EXPECT TO DO ANYTHING, IT MUST START NOW. JIM: THAT’S RIGHT. WELL, HE COULD DO SOMETHING WITH THAT. TIME FOR A LITTLE SNACK. WHO KNOWS, YOU WIN THE GREEN JACKET, THEY HAVE A LITTLE DINNER FOR YOU TONIGHT WITH THE MEMPHIS.

TREVOR: WHILE HE HAS A SNACK, WE’LL LOOK AT THIS SWING. LIKES TO PUSH THE BALL TOWARD AND AIM TO THE RIGHT WHEN HE GOES FOR THE DRAW. YOU SEE THAT? HE SETS WITH THE CLUBHEAD A LITTLE FURTHER BACK. THAT WAY THE CLUBFACE IS A LITTLE MORE CLOSED THROUGH IMPACT AND THAT WAS SO

IMPRESSIVE. JIM: YEAH, THAT NEXT MEAL COULD BE A LITTLE FANCIER FOOD FOR JON RAHM. THE 13TH HOLE AZALEA, TREVOR, ONE OF THE GREAT HOLES IN THE WORLD RIGHT HERE. TREVOR: IT REALLY IS AND THE NEW MASTERS TEE THIS YEAR HAS BEEN A GREAT ENHANCEMENT. THE FAIRWAYS — FAIRWAY PLAYS

MUCH WILDER FOR THE PLAYERS NOW. YOU CAN SEE THE LANDING AREA. ABOUT 300 YARDS ON A DIRECT LINE THROUGH THOSE PINE TREES. THEY’VE BEEN ABLE TO HIT A 5-WOOD TO A HYBRID TO A MEDIUM IRON AND THERE ARE THE TWO LAY-UP AREA. TODAY YOU COULD USE EITHER ONE

OF THOSE FOR THIS HOLE LOCATION IN THE MIDDLE RIGHT PORTION. THE MAJORITY OF THE PLAYERS USING THAT RIDGE UP THE LEFT-HAND SIDE TO SPIN THE BALL BACK DOWN. JIM: YOU GO ACROSS THE HOGAN TO THE 13. YOU EXIT THE 13TH ACROSS THE NELSON BRIDGE AND YOU CAN FEEL

HE’LL BE PUTTING BACK UP THE HILL. HIS SHORTS GAME IS MUCH IMPROVED. JIM: NOW REED, TRYING TO STEP ON THE GAS AT THE 15TH. TREVOR: THE LINE IS GOOD. IS IT ENOUGH? JIM: STAYS UP. 14. ANDREW: AND THE SECOND FOR RUSSELL HENLEY. JUST THREE OFF THE LEAD.

AND THIS IS TO THE HOLE RIGHT AND THAT WILL FEED AWAY. SO A TOUGH ONE THERE FOR RUSSELL HENLEY. UP TO 18. JIM: SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER. HE HAD IT GOING BIG EARLY IN THIS ROUND. TREVOR: SURE DID. 12 IS WHERE IT ALL CAME UP DONE WHEN HE AIRMAILED THE GREEN, HAD

TO TAKE AN UNPLAYABLE. JIM: I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE HAVE TO TAKE AN UNPLAYABLE IN A WORSE SPOT THAN HE DID. DROPPED IT JUST INCHES FROM AN AZALEA BUSH AND YOU SEE HOWE IT STARTED AND HOW IT STANDS. PHIL MICKELSON SOARING ON THAT SECOND SIDE. 31 IN. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT FELT LIKE

KIAWAH AGAIN. WHEN HE BECAME THE OLDEST MAJOR CHAMPION. 13, PATRICK CAPTAINLY — CAN CANTLAY. THAT’S NOT WHERE HE WANTED TO BE IN THREE. TREVOR: ACTUALLY SEE RAHM WAITING DOWN IN THE FAIRWAY THERE AS WELL. JIM: THESE TWO, CANTLAY AND HOVLAND, PLAYED SO WELL THIS MORNING, YOU THOUGHT MAYBE THERE

WILL BE A CARRYOVER AND MAYBE THESE TWO CAN FEED OFF OF ONE ANOTHER AND GET INTO THE MIX BUT FOR THEM SO FAR, IT’S BEEN A FINAL ROUND WITHOUT ANY BUZZ. TREVOR: FOR CANTLAY, IT’S BEEN DUE TO THAT CLUB. MISSED A NUMBER OF PUTTS INSIDE OF FIVE FEET.

NOT USED TO SEEING THAT FROM HIM. ORDINARILY A PRETTY RELIABLE PUTTER. JIM: AND RAHM STANDING BACK IN THE FAIRWAY WATCHING. HE’S ALREADY, OF COURSE, FIGURING OUT EXACTLY HOW HE’S GOING TO PLAY THIS SECOND SHOT, WHICH COULD GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO GET SOME SEPARATION BUT YOU HAVE

KOEPKA IN A SPOT TO SCORE HERE TOO. WHAT DO YOU THINK JON IS THINKING HERE? TREVOR: SO MANY THOUGHTS THAT COULD BE RAMBLING IN YOUR MIND BUT HE’S JUST TRYING TO STAY IN THE PRESENT. JIM: LOOK AT THIS DRIVE TREVOR: REMINDS ME OF 11. AT 11 HE ALSO HAD ONE OF THE

LONGEST TEE SHOTS OF THE DAY. JIM: FOR HIS PAR. IT’S A 5. ONE OVER FOR THE ROUND. AT 18, SCOTTI — SCOTTIE, TIED FOR 12TH, NEEDS THIS FOR PAR. WELL DONE. UNDER PAR FOR THREE OF THE FOUR DAYS. SHOOTS0. AT 11, BE THAT 30-FOOTER. YOU THOUGHT MAYBE HE COULD DO

SOMETHING WITH THE 5 PARS COMING UP. HOVLAND FOR BIRDIE. TREVOR: MUST MAKE IT TO HAVE A CHANCE. JIM: HE’S GOT THAT CHANCE. THAT’S HIS FIRST OF THE FINAL ROUND AND MADE THEM IN BUNCHES EARLIER. MAYBE IT WILL START SOMETHING FOR HIM. KOEPKA, AS ALWAYS, THESE TWO ARE READY TO GO.

AND WHAT DOES BROOKS HAVE HERE? DOTTIE: 5-IRON FROM A LIE THAT WILL WANTS TO MAKE THIS GO TO THE LEFT. THE WIND EVEN MORE SO. JIM: YOU CALLED IT. WOW, LOOK AT THAT. THAT IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SIDE SLOPE DOWNHILL. TREVOR: AWKWARD COMING FROM THE SECOND CUT. BALL BELOW HIS FEET.

MAY HAVE TO GET ONE FOOT IN THE BUNKER. JIM: IT CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE A STANCE ISSUE. TREVOR: AFTER TAKING THE RISK, THE REWARD IS JUST A MEDIUM IRON IN. DOTTIE: JUST A 6-IRON, YES. REMEMBER, THOUGH, HIS MISSES HAVE BEEN TO THE RIGHT. HE HAS TO STAND ON THE SHOT AND

STAY ALL IN. TREVOR: TRYING TO TURN IT BACK TO THE MIDDLE. JIM: THE WATER ISSUES HERE. TREVOR: THAT’S FINE. JIM: INTO THE SWALE. AT 15, REED. FOR EAGLE. THAT ONE IS OUT TO FOUR FEET. AT 14. ANDREW: WHERE HENLEY HAS 40 FEET FOR BIRDIE. HE LIVES IN COLUMBUS, GEORGIA,

WHICH IS ALSO WHERE LARRY MIZE LIVES THESE DAYS AND WHEN MIZE FINISHED HIS FINAL COMPETITIVE ROUND AT THE MASTERS TOURNAMENT YESTERDAY MORNING, HENLEY GREETED HIM WALKING OFF THE 18TH GREEN. HAVE TO BE FIRM WITH THIS PUTT, UP THE HILL. AND THAT LEFT FOR PAR. JIM: LARRY MIZE. ONE OF THE ICONIC SHOTS IN

AUGUSTA HISTORY IN THE PLAYOFF IN 1987. A BOY WHO GREW UP AT AUGUSTA. USED TO WORK THE SCOREBOARD OFF THE THIRD HOLE DURING THE TOURNAMENT. WHO GREW UP TO WEAR A GREEN JACKET. HE SAID GOODBYE THIS WEEK, AS DID SANDY LYLE, WHO HIT THIS SHOT IN 1988.

AND THEN WENT ON TO MAKE THE PUTT TO BEAT MARK CALCAVECCHIA BY ONE. TWO PLAYERS SAYING GOODBYE, THE TWO ALWAYS LINKED TOGETHER BECAUSE IT WAS MIZE, AS THE DEFENDING CHAMPION, WHO PUT THE GREEN JACKET ON THE SHOULDERS OF LYLE THE FOLLOWING YEAR AND THEY BOTH EXIT AUGUSTA TOGETHER. GREAT MEMORIES FROM THEM BOTH.

ANDREW: AND THERE IS HENLEY, WHO GREETED MIZE YESTERDAY AFTER HE COMPLETED HIS FINAL COMPETITIVE ROUND AT THE MASTERS. HENLEY EYEING UP AN IMPORTANT PAR PUTT AND WHILE WE WAIT, WE SEND IT UP TO 15. JIM: A CHANCE TO GET TO SEVEN UNDER. TREVOR: CAN HE DO WHAT CHARL SCHWARTZEL DID AND BIRDIE THE

LAST FOUR? JIM: THAT WAS IN 2011. THAT WAS INCREDIBLE. SO REED STILL HANGING IN THERE. EVEN WITH A SEVEN ON THE SECOND HOLE TODAY. HOW HARD IS THIS, DOTTIE? YOU’VE HAD A LOOK AT IT. DOTTIE: IT’S VERY DIFFICULT BUT HE DOES HAVE ROOM FOR HIS FEET. JIM: OK.

DOTTIE: IT LOOKS TO ME, THE BEST WAY TO PLAY THIS SHOT IS GET IT ON THE GREEN BEFORE YOU LET IT CHECK AND GO DOWN THE HILL. I DON’T LIKE THE IDEA OF BUMPING IT INTO THE HILL. IT’S JUST STICKY ENOUGH. TREVOR: THE ONLY THING IS THAT THE SLOPE IS SO STEEP, IT’S

GOING TO HOOD THE CLUB SO MUCH. LOOKS TO ME LIKE HE MAY TRY AND BUMP IT. DOTTIE: HE’S GOT THE BALL BACK IN HIS STANCE NOW. THAT NEEDS TO SIT. TREVOR: UH-OH, BETTER HIT THE FLAG. JIM: COULD BRING WATER INTO PLAY. IT’S GOING TO STOP. LET’S GO TO 14.

ANDREW: LET’S SEE IF HENLEY CAN SAVE PAR AT 14, TO REMAIN THREE BACK. GOOD TWO-PUTT THERE AND NOW HENLEY MAKES HIS WAY TO THE PAR 5 15TH HOLE. BACK TO 13. JIM: NOW WHAT KIND OF SHOT ARE WE GOING TO SEE FROM RAHM FOR HIS THIRD? DOTTIE: IT’S GOING TO BE A SHOT

HE HAS TO PLAY OUT TO HIS LEVITT. GET IT TO THE APEX AND LET IT TURN RIGHT. TREVOR: SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE SPIN ON THE SECOND BOUNCE. DOTTIE: CERTAINLY ONE YOU WOULD HAVE PRACTICED. THAT’S A VERY GOOD LINE. JIM: BEAUTIFUL SPEED. HOW ABOUT IT? [CAPTIONING FUNDED BY CBS SPORTS DIVISION]

[CAPTIONING PERFORMED BY THE NATIONAL CAPTIONING INSTITUTE, WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS CAPTION CONTENT AND ACCURACY VISIT NCICAP.ORG] JIM: GREAT SHOT BY RAHM AS WE GO TO BENNETT’S ATTACKING OF THE 15TH. HE’S WAY BACK FROM, 256. TREVOR: THIS COULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARD FINISHING IN THE TOP 12,

TO GET AN INVITE BACK FOR NEXT YEAR. JIM: GREAT SHOT. IT WILL HAVE TO STAY ON THE BACK. 16. VERNE: AND PATRICK REED ON THE TEE. BUNKER. TREVOR: GOOD LIE, THOUGH. VERNE: BACK TO 13. JIM: KOEPKA, IN A KNEE BEND TO EXAMINE. THAT’S SOMETHING HE COULDN’T DO FOR A LONG TIME AFTER THE

OPERATION ON THE KNEE THE SECOND TIME HE HAD SURGERY. DOTTIE: FLAT LIGHT DOWN HERE. YOU HAVE TO TRUST WHAT YOU FEEL IN YOUR FEET. JIM: HE SAID IT’S BEEN HUGE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT AGAIN. THIS FOR BIRDIE. TURN IT IN. DON’T COUNT HIM OUT. TREVOR: WHAT AN UP AND DOWN THAT

IS AT 13. JIM: FINALLY, A BIRDIE AND THAT’S WHAT HE’S SAYING RIGHT HERE. IT’S BEEN HOURS SINCE HIS BIRDIE AT THE EIGHTH HOLE THIS MORNING. TREVOR: OK. JIM: CAN RAHM PUT IT RIGHT ON TOP OF HIM? HE HAD A CHANCE WITH A PAR PUTT AT NINE, TO WIDEN THE LEAD TO

THREE FOR THE FIRST TIME. FAILED TO MAKE IT. TREVOR: SHOULDN’T BE MUCH IN IT. IF HE MAKES THIS, HE EXTENDS HIS LEAD. JIM: THREE UP WITH FIVE TO PLAY. KOEPKA PULLS EVEN WITH PHIL AT EIGHT UNDER PAR. CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING A COLLEGE STUDENT AND HAVING PEOPLE SHOWER

YOU WITH APPLAUSE AS YOU WALK ACROSS THE SARAZEN BRIDGE? SOMEONE WAKE ME UP. BY THE WAY, TOMORROW, BACK AT TEXAS A&M, HE’S SUPPOSED TO PLAY 36 HOLES IN THE AGGIE INVITATIONAL AND YOU CARRY YOUR OWN BAG. [LAUGHTER] TREVOR: THAT’S AWESOME. CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT KIND OF SHOT SHAPE RAHM GOES WITH HERE.

THIS MORNING HE WENT WITH THE BULLET FADE. DOTTIE: I LIKE THAT SAME PLAY. THE HOLE IS CUT LEFT HALF. TRACY: WHAT HAVE WE GOT FOR WIND, DOTTIE? DOTTIE: THERE’S REALLY NOT MUCH OUT HERE RIGHT NOW. IT’S REALLY QUIETED DOWN. ANDREW: THE FAIRWAY IS CLEAR AT 14. DOTTIE: THAT WAS PRESS REPLAY.

ANDREW: BIG DRIVE. JUST LEAKS OUT TO THE RIGHT AT THE END AND SEE THAT TREE RIGHT IN FRONT. MEANWHILE, UP AHEAD AT THE GREEN AT 14, HOVLAND, HIS THIRD. COMING UP THE HILL. THAT’S A BEAUTIFUL SHOT BY HOVLAND. A CHANCE TO SAVE PAR. NOW BACK AT THE TEASE TEE, IT’S KOEPKA.

TREVOR: NEEDS SOFT BOUNCE. DOTTIE: GENTLY. ANDREW: SO KOEPKA AND RAHM BOTH OFF TO THE RIGHT HERE AT 14. TO 135. — 15. JIM: THIS IS BENNETT FOR EAGLE. IT’S SUCH A TOUGH PUTT BECAUSE YOU HAVE THAT ONE PART OF THE GREEN, THAT LITTLE SHOULDER YOU HAVE TO PUTT IT OVER AND FLIRT

WITH THE FRINGE. AT 16. VERNE: AND FROM BEHIND THE GREEN, HERE’S XANDER SCHAUFFELE, CURRENTLY AT FOUR UNDER. ASSOCIATION THAT WELL PLAYED. TO 14. TREVOR: THE THIRD FOR CANTLAY, AND PATRICK REED JUST A SHORT TIME AGO HAD A VERY SIMILAR SHOT. YOU JUST WANT TO GET THIS ON THE

GREEN AND THEN WATCH IT RUN. SO BOTH CANTLAY AND HOVLAND PLAY NICE THIRDS. PAR PUTTS COMING UP. AS WE GO TO PATRICK REED. VERNE: AND REED OUT OF THE BUNKER. HE’S GOT SIX FEET LEFT. GO TO 15. JIM: BENNETT NOW WITH HIS SECOND PATH. NOTHING TO HANG YOUR HEAD ABOUT.

WILL BE ONE OF THE HIGHER FINISHES WE’VE SEEN BY AN AMATEUR IN A LONG TIME. BUT IT’S RAHM LEADING BY THREE IN THE LATE STAGES. Another group project. It’s due tomorrow. I really hope he’ll be online tonight. I hope I can get online tonight. I just don’t get it.

I don’t think he’ll understand. If he doesn’t pass, I don’t pass. Truth is, [in unison] I can’t do this on my own. [in unison] Connecting Changes Everything. AT&T. ♪ ♪ ♪ VERNE: BACK AT 16, HERE’S PATRICK REED FOR PAR. TREVOR: BEAUTIFUL STROKE TO MAKE THAT PUTT, JUST LIKE SPIETH DOWN

THE HILL, IT IS SO QUICK. VERNE: AND TO 15. JIM: RUSSELL HENLEY. GOING TO LAY UP. 265. TREVOR: MIGHT HAVE BEEN AT A POINT TO WHERE, IF HE GOES WITH 3-WOOD, MIGHT BE COMING IN A BIT HOT THERE. LAID UP IN A GOOD SPOT. JIM: 14. ANDREW: HOVLAND FOR PAR. OH, NO.

SO HOVLAND DROPS ONE AT 14 AND NOW BACK TO KOEPKA. DOTTIE: THERE’S A LOW OPENING AT THE LEFT CORNER OF THE GREEN. ANDREW: WILL IT GET OVER THAT RIDGE? DOTTIE: NEEDS A LITTLE MORE. ANDREW: PRETTY GOOD BY KOEPKA. NOT WHAT HE NEEDS, THOUGH, DOWN BY THREE. DOTTIE: REALLY, STILL A GOOD GOLF SHOT.

TREVOR: NO DOUBT. STILL IN THE GAME. DOTTIE: RAHM HAS ONE LIMB THAT WILL FORCE THE TRAJECTORY DOWN. 109 FRONT. 139 TO THE HOLE. TREVOR: IT SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS GOING TO AIM IT AT THE LEFT EDGE OF THE GREEN, HIT A NORMAL ONE, TRY AND CUT IT ON THE WIND AND

TRY AND LET IT FEED DOWN THERE. DOTTIE: THE TERRAIN WOULD WANT TO IT GO THAT WAY. TREVOR: GOT TO THINK HE’S GOT TO FLIGHT IT DOWN JUST A TOUCH TO MAKE SURE. YEP. ANDREW: A GREAT SHOT BY RAHM. THIS IS GOING TO GET A LOT BETTER TOO. HOW ABOUT IT FOR JON RAHM?

TREVOR: SEE HIM LEANING INTO THAT FRONT SHOT THERE. LEADING WITH THE HANDS, MAKING SURE HE FLIGHTS IT DOWN, DOESN’T LET IT POP UP INTO THAT TREE IN FRONT OF HIM. ANDREW: SEVENTH MASTERS FOR JON RAHM AND WITH THIS SUNDAY HOLE LOCATION AT 14, HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED TO DO AND NOW

HE’S IN GREAT POSITION TO MAKE A BIRDIE AND WE’VE ONLY SEEN FOUR BIRDIES AT 14 ALL DAY LONG. LET’S GO UP TO 16. VERNE: AND ON THE TEE, 23-YEAR-OLD SAM BENNETT. HE ACTS LIKE HE’S PLAYED HERE SEVERAL TIMES. JIM: AT 18, GARY WOODLAND, WHO WAS FOUR UNDER THROUGH THE FIRST EIGHT HOLES TODAY.

FINISHING UP. AT THREE UNDER PAR. I JUST WONDER IF THAT PITCH SHOT AT THE NINTH HOLE THAT ROLLED JUST A FRACTION — HAD ROLLED JUST A FRACTION MORE, PROBABLY WOULD HAVE CURLED UP CLOSE TO THE HOLE FOR PAR. FOR MOMENTUM AND HOW FAR COULD IT HAVE TAKEN HIM? BACK TO THE 14TH.

ANDREW: AND BRIGHT SUNSHINE HERE WITH KOEPKA HAVING 40 FEET FOR BIRDIE AND THIS IS UPHILL. HE HAS TO BE AGGRESSIVE WITH IT. DOTTIE: PUTTING UP THE BIG HILL, AWAY FROM THE CREEK. SHOULD WANT TO WIGGLE LEFT AT THE VERY END. ANDREW: SO KOEPKA WILL MARK AND MEANWHILE, SAM BENNETT, WHO HAS

BECOME A FAVORITE OF THE PATRONS HERE AND WELL DESERVED WITH HIS PERFORMANCE THIS WEEK. NOW BACK AT 14 AND KOEPKA IS AWAY. THINK BACK TO 8:30 THIS MORNING WHEN WE JOINED YOU ON CBS, BROOKS KOEPKA WAS 13 UNDER PAR. SINCE THEN HE IS FIVE OVER PAR. DOTTIE: HASN’T HIT ANY HORRIFIC SHOTS.

JUST HASN’T BEEN SHARP. ONE THREE-PUTT IN THERE. AN TRUE: AND NOW, A SECOND THREE-PUTT, DOTTIE. KOEPKA FOUR BEHIND. HE WOKE UP THIS MORNING AHEAD BY FOUR. AND NOW RAHM CAN REALLY CREATE SEPARATION WITH JUST FOUR HOLES TO PLAY. TREVOR: DON’T ANTICIPATE THIS HAVING TOO MUCH SPEED GOING DOWN THE HILL.

ANDREW: AND HE TUCKS IT IN! JON RAHM TO 12 UNDER. ONLY THE FIFTH BIRDIE OF THE DAY AT THE 14TH HOLE. AND RAHM, UP FOUR WITH FOUR HOLES LEFT. JIM: TO 15, HENLEY, PLAYING HIS THIRD. HE’S CURRENTLY TIED FOR THIRD. TREVOR: OK, ON THE BACK SHELF THERE BUT 265 TO THE HOLE,

DECIDED TO LAY UP. JIM: BACK AT 16. VERNE: AND COLLIN MORIKAWA, WHO WAS LONG LEFT. OH, BOY, THAT GETS UP PERFECTLY AND REALLY NICELY DONE. BACK TO 15. JIM: ALL RIGHT, JON RAHM, TRYING TO BECOME A MAJOR CHAMPION FOR THE SECOND TIME. AND IT WOULD BE, IF HE DOES SO,

THE SEVENTH STRAIGHT MAJOR WON BY A PLAYER IN HIS 20’S. IT’S A STREAK THAT BEGAN WITH JON RAHM. AT TORREY PINES. IN THE SUMMER OF 2021. THE LAST NON-20-YEAR-OLD TO WANE MAJOR SUSPECT MAN IN SECOND PLACE RIGHT NOW, PHIL MICKELSON, WHO WAS 50 AT THE PGA IN 2021. 16.

VERNE: THAT WAS A MISS BY SAM BENNETT. AND YOU SAW MORIKAWA. HAS A TAP-IN LEFT SO BENNETT WILL COMPLETE HIS WORK. SAM BENNETT WILL REMAIN AT THREE UNDER PAR. BACK TO 15. JIM: HENLEY HAS THIS FOR BIRDIE. TO PULL INTO A TIE FOR SECOND. PLAYING WELL TODAY, TWO UNDER.

HE’S NEVER HAD A TOP 10 IN A MAJOR. A FOUR-TIME WINNER ON THE PGA TOUR. HE’D LIKE TO HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE TWO PAR 5’S. THESE TWO HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER SINCE THE FALL OF 2016. ADAM HAS BEEN ON THE BAG FOR ALL

19 OF JON’S WINS ON THE PGA TOUR AND WORLDWIDE COMBINED. AT 15 FAIRWAY, YOU HAVE HOVLAND. A LOT OF HANG TIME HERE. TREVOR: BEGGING FOR IT TO GO. STAY THERE. JIM: IT’S GONE. AT 18, JUSTIN ROSE. NICELY DONE! TOP 20 FINISH FROM ONE J.R. TO ANOTHER. WE GO TO THE 15TH.

TREVOR: FOUR AHEAD, FOUR TO PLAY. TRYING TO BECOME THE FOURTH SPANIARD TO WIN THE MASTERS. JIM: WATCH IT GET DOWN THAT RIGHT SIDE, AND IT’S FINE. NOT SURE HE LOVED THAT ONE, TREVOR. TREVOR: IT’S SAFE AND IT’S DOWN THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE. HE’LL HAVE THE DECISION TO MAKE.

IF HE DOESN’T FEEL IT, LAY UP DOWN THE LEFT, NO ISSUES. KOEPKA HAS GOT TO TRY AND PUSH IT DOWN HERE AS FAR AS HE CAN. JIM: IT’S BULGEENED. LOOK HOW FAR PAST RAHM THIS ONE GOES. ALTHOUGH IT STARTS TO TRUNDLE A LITTLE LEFT. TREVOR: PROBABLY DOWN IN THAT SAME AREA HOVLAND WAS.

JIM: AT 16. VERNE: AND ON THE TEE, UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA EX, RUSSELL HENLEY. WELL, THAT DOESN’T QUITE GET THE RIDGE AND THE ROLL. HE’S HEARD MORE THAN A FEW SHOUTS OF “GO, DOGS” TODAY. IAN: TO THE 17TH HOLE, PATRICK REED FOR PAR. COMING UP A LITTLE SHORT THERE

AT 17 SO REED WILL HEAD TO THE LAST SEVEN UNDER PAR. JIM: CONTINUES TO SNACK. AS HE’S HEATING UP THIS LEAKED, WHAT A RUN IT’S BEEN AND FOR SPAIN, TRYING TO BE THE FOURTH, AS YOU MENTIONED, TREVOR. SEVE DID IT TWICE, JOSE MARIA TWICE AND THE LAST TIME THE

MASTERS FINISHED ON APRIL 9 WAS IN 2017 AND IT BELONGED TO A SPANIARD ON THAT DAY, SERGIO GARCIA. Well, with IBM, you could use Red Hat software to adopt a hybrid cloud approach that connects data across multiple systems globally,

Connecting CHANGES Everything. AT&T. ♪ ♪ JIM: JON RAHM, ALREADY WITH THREE WINS SINCE THE START OF THE YEAR. HE’S WON AT IMPRESSIVE PLACES. KAPALUA. HE WON THE OLD BOB HOPE. HE WON AT RIVERA UP AHEAD, SAME HOLE, FOURTH SHOT AFTER THE DROP FOR HOVLAND. OOH, THAT ALMOST HOPPED IN.

TRACY: TOOK A PEEK, DIDN’T IT? JIM: SURE DID. DOTTIE, WHAT’S IT LOOK LIKE BACK THERE FOR BIG JON? DOTTIE: I THINK HE’S SO FAR BACK, THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE FOR HIM. 356 FRONT, 273 HOLE. I’M JUST NOT SURE WITH THE TIMING AND THE THEATER FOR IT, THAT BIG OF A RISK.

JIM: ADAM HAYES SHOWED UP AT KAPALUA WITH THAT BEARD. JON SAID I LIKE IT. THEY WON AND JON HASN’T SHAVED IT SINCE BECAUSE HE THINKS IT’S GOOD LUCK. MAYBE THAT’S WHAT IT IS. CANTLAY AT 15 FOR BIRDIE. KEEP GOING. IT WILL BE A LAY-UP HERE, TREVOR. TREVOR: YEAH, I LIKE THE PLACEMENT

DOTTIE: LAYING UP WITH 7-IRON. TREVOR: THEY WOULD HAVE FIGURED OUT WHAT KIND OF NUMBER THEY’RE LOOKING FOR FOR THE WEDGE SHOT. A NUMBER HE’D BE VERY COMFORTABLE WITH, SOMETHING HE’S PRACTICED A LOT. HIS CADDIE, ADAM HAYES, SAID YESTERDAY THAT LAST WEEK THAT’S ALL THEY FOCUSED ON, SHORT GAME, GETTING AWAY FROM TECHNIQUE,

GETTING INTO THE FEELS FOR THE SHORT GAME. IT’S WORKED WELL SO FAR THIS WEEK. JIM: YOU COULD HEAR SOME OF THE PATE REASONS CALLING OUT “VAMOS” TO RAHM. WE GO. LET’S GO. LET’S SEE SOMEWHAT HOVLAND CAN DO. TREVOR: BREAKING RIGHT. JIM: WITH A PENALTY STROKE, A 5. DOTTIE: THAT’S 5-IRON IN BROOKS’ HANDS.

RIGHT TO LEFT WITH A LITTLE WIND. JIM: THAT’S A FINE SHOT. ED ABOUT THIS AROUND THE TREE. TO HOLE HIGH. AT 16. VERNE: AND HERE’S RUSSELL HENLEY’S BID FOR BIRDIE. HE’LL STAY AT SEVEN UNDER. FIVE BACK OF JON RAHM. AND CURRENTLY IN A TIE FOR THIRD. TWO TO GO. LET’S GO TO 15.

JIM: IT’S NOT A LONG SHOT BUT IT’S AN UNEVEN LIE ALWAYS. THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDER SHORT SHOTS IN THE GAME. DOTTIE: DOWNHILL LIE. TENDS TO BE INTO THE GRAIN, 80 YARDS. JIM: DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY HERE, TREVOR, BECAUSE YOU’RE HITTING IT OFF THIS SLOPE? TROR: BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION, VERY DIFFICULT.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE KEEP YOUR BODY MOVING THROUGH. DON’T STALL THE BODY BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN CATCH IT HEAVY. DOTTIE: CERTAINLY NOT HEAVY. JIM: SOUNDED CRISP. WELL DONE. HE KNOWS THAT’S A BIG ONE. 16. VERNE: MAN FROM OSLO ON THE TEE. VIKTOR O HOVLAND, IT’S NOT BEEN A GOOD DAY.

TREVOR: SEEING A LOT OF PLAYERS LONG LEFT AT 16 TODAY, VERNE. VERNE: MORE SO THAN I CAN REMEMBER IN RECENT YEARS. TREVOR: AGREED. BACK TO 15. JIM: DOTTIE, THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF SUPPORT OUT THERE FOR JON TODAY. DOTTIE: THERE CERTAINLY HAS. IT SEEMS TO HAVE GROWN AS THE

DAY GOES ON, SENSING SOMETHING SPECIAL HERE. KIND OF FOUGHT HIS WAY THROUGH AN UNSETTLED START. IN COMMAND NOW. JIM: PATRICK REED IS AT THE 18TH. THE WINNER HERE FIVE YEARS AGO. TREVOR: LOOKS GOOD. JIM: IT’S HIGH ENOUGH OFF THE SLOPE TO GET CLOSER. IBACK AT 15. KOEPKA WAS ASKED THIS WEEK ABOUT

HIS GOALS AND HE WAS VERY OPEN ABOUT WHAT HE PLAYS THE GAME FOR. TO HIM IT’S ALL ABOUT WINNING THE CAREER GRAND SLAM WHICH, AT THE START OF THE DAY, HAD SOME PEOPLE THINKING, OK. IF HE CLOSES THIS OUT TODAY, HE’LL HAVE THREE LEGS OF THE CAREER GRAND SLAM.

WITH THE TWO PGA’S, THE TWO U.S. OPENS AND, OF COURSE, THIS WOULD BE HIS GREEN JACKET PERFORMANCE. HE’S BEEN LOOKING AHEAD AT GOING TO LIVERPOOL THIS SUMMER. AND GOING FOR IT. IT’S NOT OVER YET HE HAS THIS FOR A 3. DID HE HIT IT? WHAT’S BEEN THE BIGGEST UNDOING FOR HIM TODAY, TREVOR?

TREVOR: EVERYTHING HAS JUST BEEN A LITTLE BIT OFF BUT THE PUTTER IN PARTICULAR. JIM: 17. IAN: AND SAM BENNETT, HIS THIRD SHOT HERE. JUST MISSING SHORT RIGHT. HE’S HIT SOME BEAUTIFUL LITTLE PITCH SHOTS. WONDERFUL TOUR. — TOUCH. THE YOUNG TEXAN HAS REALLY WON A LOT OF HEART THIS WEEK. THREE UNDER PAR.

AMAZING STUFF FOR THE YOUNG AMATEUR. BACK TO 15. JIM: DOTTIE, WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THIS PUTT? DOTTIE: I SEE A PUTT THAT’S A TOUCH UPHILL. THIS SHOULD WANT TO WIGGLE, IF IT GOES ANYWHERE, A LITTLE LEFT. JIM: OK, NO DAMAGE DONE. GETTING PAST ALL THESE POINTS ON

THE GOLF COURSE WHERE YOU CAN LOSE A TOURNAMENT. IF YOU PUT A BIG NUMBER IN PLACEMENT TREVOR: THAT’S RIGHT. IT’S AT THIS POINT THAT YOUR MIND STARTS RACING AHEAD AND YOU KEEP TRYING TO CATCH YOURSELF, BRING IT BACK. SHOT FOR SHOT. JIM: KOEPKA, NOW, TO GET BACK INTO A TIE FOR SECOND WITH,

PHIL. TREVOR: THAT BIRDIE THERE WILL GIVE BROOKS THE HONOR AT 16. CAN HE FIND A WAY TO CREATE SOME MAGIC TO FINISH? DOTTIE: IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, TREVOR NEEDS TO MAKE FIVE GOOD GOLF SWINGS BETWEEN HERE AND THE CLUBHOUSE. TREVOR: GREAT WAY TO THINK ABOUT IT, DOTTIE.

JIM: RAHMBO IS WHAT IT SAYS. AND HE HAS CERTAINLY PLAYED AS THOUGH THERE WASN’T A CARE IN THE WORLD ABOUT THAT EIGHT UNDER PAR POST. HERE’S 16. VERNE: HOVLAND. REMEMBER A SIMILAR SHOT? THIS ONE WORKED OUT PRETTY WELL. 25-YEAR-OLD YOUNG MAN WHOSE PARENTS WERE BORN IN INDIA. ALL-AMERICAN COLLEGIATE AT PEPPERDINE.

THAT WAS ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AGO. THEEGALA. LET’S GO FORWARD TO PATRICK REED. JIM: HE’S GOT THIS FOR BIRDIE, VERNE. BEAUTIFUL PUTT. INTO A TIE WITH JORDAN SPIETH FOR FOURTH. FINISHING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COURSE, SWIFT TEE IFS THE AMP, FRED COUPLES, BEGAN PLAYING

THE GAME AS A YOUNG BOY AT JEFFERSON PARK, DOWNTOWN SEATTLE. JUST ON THE OUTSKIRTS. WHEN HE WENT INTO THE HALL OF FAME, FRANK NOBILO REFERENCED THAT 10 YEARS AGO. HIS LINE WAS THANK YOU FOR TAKING A KILLED OUT OF SEAT AND WILL ELECTING HIM INTO THE HALL OF FAME.

HIS CELEBRATION THIS WEEK AT AUGUSTA, SETTING THE RECORD FOR THE LONGEST, OLDEST PLAYER TO MAKE A MASTERS CUT, VERNE. VERNE: AND NOW WE HAVE PATRICK CANTLAY. HE’S JUST A FEW YARDS AWAY BUT — WOW. TREVOR: THEY MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN THEIR HOLE LOCATION SHEETS MIXED UP, VERNE. THAT’S WHERE THE HOLE WAS IN

ROUND THREE? VERNE: THAT’S RIGHT. [LAUGHTER] TREVOR: THIS IS GOING TO BE SUCH A DIFFICULT PUTT HERE. HE’S GOT TO KEEP IT UP ON THAT TOP LEDGE AS LONG AS HE CAN AND T THEN IT WILL JUST DROP OVER. ONLY THE HOLE CAN STOP IT. VERNE: I WOULD VENTURE A GUESS

THAT THE THREE PUTT POTENTIAL HERE IS PRETTY OBVIOUSLY. TREVOR: PRETTY MUCH HAS HIT BACK TURNED TO THE HOLE. VERNE: UH-HUH. TREVOR: HE’S GOT TO GET IT UP INTO THE SUNLIGHT BEFORE IT MAKES ITS WAY DOWN. , NO IT’S GOING TO BE LOW. VERNE: YOU’RE RIGHT, TREVOR, THAT WAS NOT FAR ENOUGH.

SO THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES FOR BOTH THESE COMPETITORS. A LITTLE SURVEYING WORK YET TO BE DONE. AND BROOKS AND JON PATIENTLY WAITING BACK ON THE 16TH TEE. I WOULD SAY THAT JON RAHM IS MORE PATIENT THAN BROOKS KOEPKA. THAT’S THREE BOGEYS ON THE SECOND NINE. NEXT UP. JIM: JUST THE LATEST HEADLINES

WITH RAHM’S LEAD AT FOUR. HE BEGAN THE DAY DOWN FOUR WHEN WE RESTARTED AT 8:30 AND KOEPKA HAS BEEN FIVE OVER SINCE THE MORNING. PHIL MICKELSON, OLDEST TOP FIVE FINISH IN MASTERS HISTORY. AT 51 YEARS. THE RECORD HAD BELONGED TO JIMMY DEMERRITT IN 1952. BACK TO 16. VERNE: HOVLAND. HELLO.

SO VICTOR REMAINS AT FIVE UNDER PAR. TREVOR: RAHM TRYING TO STAY FOCUSED AS BEST HE CAN THERE, NOT LOOK AROUND TOO MUCH. DOTTIE: THAT’S A 6-IRON IN KOEPKA’S HAND. VERNE: NEXT UP, THE MAN WHO LEADS BY FOUR. DOTTIE: SAME CLUB. THAT WAS SO SMART, COMING OFF THE 15TH, TOOK A MOMENT AND JUST

SLOWED DOWN. NO REASON TO RUSH OVER TO 16. JUST LET THE MOMENT BREATHE. OF TREVOR: KEYING IN ON THAT TV TOWER BEHIND THE GREEN. THAT’S THE TARGET. VERNE: THAT WILL TAKE THE RIDGE. AND NOW HE BEGINS TO TAKE THE SECOND BEST WALK AT AUGUSTA. JIM: AT 18, SAM BENNETT PLAYING HIS THIRD SHOT.

TREVOR: HAS TO MAKE THIS FOR THE TOP 12 HERE, JIM. JIM: THAT’S A FINE SHOT. HOW MANY NEW FANS DID HE MAKE THIS WEEK? AS THEY WALK ALONG THE POND AT THE 16TH. ONE CAN — RAHM CAN ALMOST FEEL THE JACKET ON HIS SHOULDERS. I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT, VERNE,

THAT’S THE SECOND BEST WALK BUT NOTHING CAN TOP THIS, AT 18. TREVOR: ESPECIALLY LATE ON A SUNDAY. JIM: BOBBY JONES WANTED THIS TOURNAMENT TO ALWAYS HONOR THE AMATEUR. IT’S A DEEP PART OF THE TOURNAMENT HERITAGE. AND HE REPPED THE AMATEUR CLASS WITH SUCH GRACE THIS WEEK. IT WAS 100 YEARS AGO BOBBY JONES

WON HIS FIRST MAJOR, IN 1923 U.S. OPEN THE INWOOD. AND HERE’S SAM BENNETT. GOT TO PLAY ALL FOUR DAYS AND GOT TO PLAY IN THE FINAL GROUPING FOR THE THIRD ROUND, WHICH MEANS BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER, HE CAN SAY HE PLAYED IN THE FINAL GROUPING ON BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AT AUGUSTA, RIGHT?

WE’RE BACK AT 16. VERNE: AND THAT WAS A FUTURE PARTICIPANT WATCHING ON, HE HOPES. HIS DAD HOPES, AND HERE’S BROOKS KOEPKA. THERE YOU GO! THERE YOU GO. DOTTIE: NOT DONE YET, VERNE. VERNE: NO. NOT AT ALL. NOW JON RAHM. DOTTIE, WHAT DO YOU SEE HERE? DOTTIE: I SEE THIS DOWNHILL

MOVING A TOUCH TO THE RIGHT. IT’S A PUTT THAT OVER TIME MANY PEOPLE HAVE LEFT ON THE HIGH SIDE. VERNE: THREE UP, TWO TO GO. JON RAHM. AND BROOKS KOEPKA GO TO 17 WHILE WE GO TO 18. JIM: NICE TO SEE THESE RAYS RIGHT ACROSS THE 18TH GREEN AFTER ALL THE WEATHER THESE

PLAYERS ENDURED IN LATE FRIDAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THIS FOR PAR. IF THERE’S ANY THOUGHT THAT YOU THINK ABOUT AT AUGUSTA AT 18, IT’S THAT ONE. SHAKES HIS HEAD. HE’S DISAPPOINTED WITH THE BOGEY BUT HE’LL GET OVER IT. HIS WAS JUST TRULY A MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE. MORIKAWA. THAT’S A 4.

HE’S TIED FOR 10TH WITH SCHEFFLER AND ARE SCHAUFFELE AND FITZPATRICK. BACK TO THE LAST TWO, AT 17. IAN: BROOKS TO GO FIRST AFTER THAT MAGICAL BIRDIE AT 16. AND ANOTHER ONE TO THE LEFT, TREVOR. THE DRIVER LEFT HIM A LITTLE BIT THIS AFTERNOON. TREVOR: STARTING RIGHT ON THE

FIRST TEE WHEN HE HIT THE 3-WOOD LEFT AND THEN A COUPLE OF OTHER TIMES. EIGHT THE DRIVER WENT LEFT AS WELL. DOTTIE: HIT A TREE AND DID COME DOWN. HE SHOULD HAVE A SHOT. IAN: JON HAS PLAYED THIS HOLE 4-3-4 AND EACH DAY JUST A LITTLE FAIRWAY FINDER WITH THE

PHILADELPHIA SEEMS TO BE THE RIGHT SHOT HERE. IT’S AFTERNOON AWKWARD DRIVING HOLE. — IT’S AN AWKWARD DRIVING HOLE. JUST DOESN’T LOOK INVITING DOWN THERE. EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. HE’S PLAYED VERY SMART THIS CLOSING NINE HOLES. DID EVERYTHING HE SHOULD HAVE DONE. RIGHT FROM THE 10TH HOLE, TREVOR.

MIDDLE OF THE GREEN, LAG PUTT. SAME AT 11, SAME AT 12. AVOIDED THE WATER, AS YOU SUGGESTED. IT’S BEEN A CLINIC. TREVOR: IT SURE HAS BEEN A GREAT EXHIBITION OF GOLF. THE WAY HE’S MANAGED HIMSELF, HIS GAME, HIS EMOTIONS. IT REALLY HAS BEEN SO IMPRESSIVE. JIM: SAM BENNETT, A SMILE COMING

SURPASSES SOUTH AFRICA’S FIVE FOR MOST OF ANY INTERNATIONAL COUNTRY. AND THERE’S SOMETHING SPECIAL GOING ON UP AHEAD EAR — HERE AT

THE GREEN WITH HOVLAND AND CANTLAY FINISHING UP. VIKTOR JUST — WE SAW THERE IN THE FOREGROUND AS WE WERE WATCHING JON WALK UP. THE CROWD WENT UP AS VIKTOR FINDS THE CUP AGAIN. FIGHTING BACK, TWO OVER ON HIS ROUND. SIX UNDER TOTAL. MIGHT GIVE JON A LITTLE CHARGE AS WELL.

HEARING THAT ROAR AND SEEING THAT HAPPEN. WIND SWIRLING AROUND STILL ON TOP OF A HILL AT 1. IF THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE THAT WIND, FIRE IT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE GREEN AND DON’T GO LONG. DOES HE HAVE MUCH OF A SHOT HERE, DOTTIE, BROOKS? DOTTIE: HE DOESN’T.

HE HAS A LIE AND A SWING BUT IT’S GOING TO HAVE TO BE A BIT OF A BOOMERANG TO GET IT OUT OF HERE. LOW AND THEN TURNING HARD. IAN: SIMILAR TO THE SHOT WE SAW JUSTIN THOMAS PLAY THE OTHER DAY. LOW HOOK. OH, HE’S PLAYED IT WELL. DOTTIE: THAT’S ACTUALLY REALLY WELL.

DOTTIE: GOT IT UP THERE PAST THE TOWER AND THAT’S NOT AN EASY SHOT BUT ABOUT HOLE HIGH. BUMP IT UP THE BANK. >> JUST STRAIGHT ONE OF THOSE. YOU GOT IT, MY MAN. YES, SIR. TREVOR: JUST MAKE SURE YOU DON’T GO LONG HERE. IAN: CORRECT. TREVOR: ANYTHING, 20, 25 FEET SHORT, PERFECT.

JIM: RUSSELL HENLEY. HAS A CHANCE WITH THIS. TO MOVE INTO A TIE FOR THIRD. YOU NEVER KNOW, COULD END UP

TIED SECOND IF HE MAKES IT. CREDIT TO HIM, HE DIDN’T REALLY SHOW A WHOLE LOT OF NERVOUS, I THOUGHT, TODAY, HENLEY. TWO UNDER FOR THE DAY. BACK ON THE TEE, HOVLAND. AND,000 MATSUYAMA FINISH HIS MASTERS. MISSED A COUPLE OF THOSE TODAY. PUTTER BETRAY HIM. HE IS LOVED AROUND HERE.

AND THERE IS HIS RUNNING MATE, SHOTA. A MOMENT WE’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER. WHEN NO ONE’S LOOKING, AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT YOU THINK. YOU BOW OUT OF RESPECT. IWAFUJI IS SOME KIND OF CREDIT TO HIS COUNTRY AND FELLOW COUNTRYMEN TO THE CHAMPION OF 2021, HIDEKI MATSUYAMA. HERE’S A GUY WHO’S GEORGIA PROUD. RUSSELL HENLEY.

TREVOR: JUST DIDN’T QUITE HAVE THE FIREPOWER ON THE PAR 5’S TO GET IT IN TWO ON THE SECOND NINE. JIM: GOING TO HAVE A TOP FIVE MINUTE. USED TO ATTEND THIS TOURNAMENT AS A YOUNG BOY. FOR FIVE STRAIGHT YEARS, IN FACT, STARTING AT THE AGE OF 12. BACK AT 17.

IAN: HE NEEDED TO HOLE THAT ONE AND THEN BIRDIE THE LAST TO DO ANYTHING SPECIAL, REA REALLY. PERHAPS ANOTHER RUNNER-UP FINISH TO TIGER WHO WAS SECONDS IN 2019. FOUR WINS IN MAJORS. THREE RUNNER-UP FINISHES. SHE A MAJOR KRESSE — EXPRESS. HE LOVES THE PRESSURE OF THE MAJORS. DIDN’T HANDLE IT SO WELL TODAY

BUT PROVED TO HIMSELF THAT HE’S FIT AGAIN. KNOCKED THAT ONE IN PAR AT THE LAST FOR OUTRIGHT SECOND. THE OTHER THING I NOTICE WHEN I LOOK AT THE LEADERBOARD THERE WITH MICKELSON FINISHING AT EIGHT UNDER PAR. HE WAS REALLY JON’S MENTOR WHEN HE FIRST CAME OUT HERE ON TOUR.

PHIL’S BROTHER TIM WAS HIS COACH AT A.S.U. WHERE HE WAS A FEWER-TIME ALL-AMERICAN AND PHIL REALLY HELPED HIM ALONG THE WAY. MENTORED HIM, GUIDED HIM AND HERE SHE PERHAPS BEATING HIM, PUTTING THE GREEN JACKET ON HIS SHOULDERS AND JOINING TREVOR IN THE LOCKER ROOM. A LITTLE CAUTIOUS. OH, HE’S LEFT HIMSELF SOME WORK

TO DO THERE, TREVOR. TRACY: SURE HAS. IAN: A LITTLE SLOW UP THE HILL. OF COURSE, HE’LL RETURN TO WORLD NUMBER ONE AS WELL WITH A WIN HERE. A PLACE VERY FAMILIAR TO HIM. IT’S BEEN A BATTLE BETWEEN HE AND SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER, RORY MCILROY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

TREVOR: MIGHT BE A GOOD THING THAT HE LEFT THAT PUTT SO FAR SHORT. IT WILL KEEP HIM REALLY ENGAGED, NOT LET HIS MIND START TO WANDER FORWARD. IAN: BROOKS FOR PAR. MUST MAKE. AND IT WILL BE A DISAPPOINTING BOGEY. DROPS BACK INTO A TIE FOR SECOND WITH PHIL.

FOUGHT BACK WITH A COUPLE OF GOOD BIRDIES AT 15 AND 16 BUT JUST TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. DOTTIE: IT’S ALSO REALLY HARD TO BE IN GO MODE WHEN YOU’VE DRIVEN THE GOLF BALL THE WAY BROOKS DID TODAY. IAN: YES, MISSED TOO MANY FAIRWAYS. MISSED A COUPLE OF SHORTISH PUTTS THAT COUCH KEPT THE

MOMENTUM GOING. TREVOR: KOEPKA’S MISS REALLY HAS TAKEN ALL OF THE PRESSURE OFF OF RAHM. IAN: YES, BECAUSE EVEN IF HE DOES MISS IT. HE’S STILL GOT THREE GOING UP THE LAST AND THAT’S A NICE FEELING. WHICH I WON THE OPEN, I HAD A THREE-SHOT LEAD GOING UP THE LAST.

YOU CAN FEEL A LITTLE BIT MORE FRESH AIR WITH THE BREATH AS YOU WALK UP THERE. TREVOR: DID GET A LOOK AT KOEPKA’S. WILL BREAK TO HIS RIGHT. IAN: YEAH, IF IT LACKS SPEED IT DROPS AWAY QUITE SHARPLY. CLEAR YOUR THOUGHTS, TAKE YOUR TIME. VIVA JON RAHM, VIVA SEVE.

ON SEVE’S BIRTHDAY, HE HEADS TO THE LAST HOLE WITH A FOUR-SHOT LEAD. ABOUT TO BECOME A TWO-TIME MAJOR CHAMPION AND A MASTERS CHAMPION FOR LIFE. BOGEY FOR BROOKS. CAN HE DO SOMETHING SPECIAL UP THE LAST TO GET INTO OUTRIGHT SECOND? IT’S BEEN A BATTLE BUT RAHM HAS COME OUT ON TOP.

JIM: FROM AN OPENING FOUR-PUTT TO OPENING THE DAY FOUR DOWN TO BEING FOUR UP. >> CAN YOU GUYS MOVE THE SHADOW, PLEASE? JUST A LITTLE THAT WAY? THANK YOU. DOTTIE: IT’S LEFT GOING LEFT. TREVOR: POINTING BACK TOWARD THE SECOND CUT IN FRONT OF THE FAIRWAY. NOT QUITE SURE WHERE THAT POPPED OUT.

JIM: IT IS SHORT OF THE FAIRWAY. GOT SPIT OUT. IT’S DOWN IN THAT HOLLOW. NOW KOEPKA. TREVOR: HE’S GOING WITH A PROVISIONAL HERE JUST IN CASE. SO HE HASN’T GOT WORD YET WHERE THAT BALL WENT. JIM: CAN YOU IMAGINE THE ANXIETY HE’S FEELING? IS TREVOR: OH, MY WORD. DOTTIE: THAT WAS BE A

PRECISIONAL FOR A LOST BALL. TREVOR: THE PATRONS STARTING TO MOVE. JIM: THAT’S ONE HE WANTED THE FIRST TIME. BUT WE’RE HEARING HE’S SAFE. TREVOR: HE’S GOING TO GET A PRETTY BIG SIGH OF RELIEF WHEN HE GETS WORD. DOTTIE: HE WON’T HAVE TO WALK FAR BUZZ I — BECAUSE IT DIDN’T REACH THE FAIRWAY.

JIM: DOTTIE, YOU SEE IT? DOTTIE: I DO. JIM: I WONDER IF JON KNOWS. TREVOR: THERE IT IS. JIM: TURNED THIS INTO A THREE-SHOT PAR 5. [LAUGHTER] TREVOR: JIM, I CAN’T REMEMBER A CHAMPION EVER HAVING TO HIT A PROVISIONAL ALL OF — OFF OF 18. JIM: NO. TREVOR: THIS IS SOMETHING WE’LL

BE ABLE TO GIVE HIM A HARD TIME ABOUT IN THE CHAMPIONS LOCKER ROOM NEXT YEAR. [LAUGHTER] JIM: FOR PAR, HOVLAND. 74 FOR VIKTOR. IF ONLY HE COULD HAVE KEPT THAT HOT STREAK GOING IN THE AFTERNOON THAT HE EXHIBITED THIS MORNING. TREVOR: BACK-TO-BACK TOP 10’S IN MAJORS. AT THE OPEN LAST YEAR AND NOW

THE MASTERS. JIM: YEAH, AND ON BOTH OCCASIONS HE PLAYED LATE AND SHOT 74. SO HE’S LEARNING. TREVOR: YEP. JIM: THERE WILL BE MANY MORE TIMES TO CONTEND, AS CANTLAY IS IN. THAT’S 75 FOR PATRICK. WOULD HAVE GUESSED, IF NOT BOTH OF THEM, AT LEAST ONE OF THEM WOULD HAVE PRESSED THE FINAL

PAIRING TODAY BUT IT WAS NEVER THERE. VIKTOR FINISHES TILED SEVENTH. CAN’TLY TIED 14TH. >> HAVE A WEDGE AND WEDGE IT IN. YOU COULD HIT A 5-WOOD AND PLACE IT BUT — HERE YOU GO. DOTTIE: SPRINKLER HEADS BACK THERE, TREVOR. JIM: KEEP IT POSITIVE. TREVOR: TRYING TO HIT THE SCREAMING FADE AROUND THE

CORNER, LEAVE HIMSELF A SHORT CLUB IN. JIM: THAT WILL GET JOB DONE RIGHT THERE. ABOUT TO WIN AT THE AGE OF 28, THE MASTERS. I LOOK BACK AT SOME OF THE OTHER 28-YEAR-OLD FIRST TIME WINNERS OF AUGUSTA. THROW SOME NAMES AT YOU HERE. DANNY WILLETT. CRAIG STADLER. LARRY MIZE. JOSE MARIA, ARNOLD PALMER,

TREVOR IMMELMAN. I MENTIONED OLAZABOL. HE WENT TO A BANQUET WHEN HE WAS 12 YEARS OLD, DID JON, AS HE WAS A BIG DECORATED BOYS CHAMPION IN SPAIN AND AT THIS FUNCTION, HE WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE OLAZABOL. HE KNEW ALL ABOUT HIM. HE ARAB OVER TO SHAKE HIS HAND AND ALMOST DIDN’T ACKNOWLEDGE

SEVE. HE DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS SEVE AND HIS FATHER ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK WATCHING ALL THIS AND HE WENT OVER AND FINALLY HAD THAT ONE ATHLETING MOMENT TO MEET SEVE AND HE SAID I ALMOST BELOW IT AND TODAY HE’S GOING TO BE LINKED TO HIM FOR A SECOND TIME. KOEPKA.

DOTTIE: 6-IRON AWAY. JIM: COME ON DOWN. TREVOR: IF KOEPKA CAN MAKE THAT PUTT HE’LL GET INTO SECOND ON HIS OWN. JIM: THE HERE’S — HERE’S ONE FOR YOU TOO. HE’LL BECOME THE SECOND PLAYER FROM SPAIN TO WIN TWO DIFFERENT MAJORS. SEVE WON THE MASTERS AND THE OPEN. RAHM WON THE 2021 U.S. OPEN.

AND ON HIS WAY NOW TO WINNING THE MASTERS. THEY WANTED TO GIVE HIM A BIG OVATION BUT LET HIM PLAY HIS THIRD FIRST. WE TALKED SEQUENCELY TO THOSE WHO, IN TERMS OF BACKING UP MAJORS, WENT U.S. OPEN AS A FIRST AND MASTERS AS THEIR SECOND. JACK NICKLAUS, 1962 U.S. AT OAK

PLANT — OAKMONT. 1963 MASTERS. THIS IS THE 60 YEAR SNARE DUSTIN JOHNSON WERE TWO OF THOSE TO DO THAT. HE’S GOING TO JOIN THAT LIST WHICH INCLUDES THOSE NAMES TREVOR: ONE LAST GOOD, SOLID STRIKE. JIM: OH, YES! SOME MAJOR STYLE POINTS. HA HA. NOW HE KNOWS HE’S GOT IT.

THERE’S A MAGNETISM ABOUT RAHM. WE’VE ALWAYS SENSED IT BUT HERE, THE FEELING IS PALPABLE AND I’M SURE YOU FELT IT AT HOME. EVERY TIME HE GOT A STEP CLOSER TO THE LEAD AND THEN OVERTOOK KOEPKA FOR THE LEAD. TREVOR: HE MIGHT JUST CLOSE THIS OUT WITH A SEVE PAR HERE ON THE

18, JIM. JIM: WHY NOT? WHEN SEVERY WON 40 YEARS AGO FOR HIS SECOND MAJOR, HE CHIPPED IN FOR PAR ON THE LAST HOLE. IT WOULD BE A FITTING WAY TO END IT. KELLY, HIS WIFE. THEY JUST HAD THEIR SECOND SON LAST AUGUST. AND THAT’S THE LITTLE BOY RIGHT THERE SELL BRATEED HIS SECOND

BIRTHDAY. JOSE MARIA COMES DOWN TO GREET THE NEW CHAMPION. IT HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE ESSENTIAL MENTOR AND FRIEND FOR JON IN HIS DEVELOPMENT. IT’S INTERESTING, HIS OLDEST BOY’S NAME IS K-A-E-P. IT’S A BASK NAME, WHERE HE’S — BASQUE NAME, WHERE HE’S FROM. SEVE IS FROM THAT AREA GROWING

YOU LOOKING OVER THE BAY OF BISCAY. HIS BOY’S NAME IS KAEPA AND TODAY HE HAD TO GO FOR 30 HOLES IN A DUEL AGAINST KOEPKA AND HERE IS BROOKS FOR HIS BIRDIE. FOR SECOND ALONE. FOR SECOND ALONE. FOR A SHARE OF SECOND WITH PHIL MICKELSON. AND NOW THE STAGE HAS CLEARED.

SOME PAR, WOULDN’T IT BE? DIDN’T EVEN REACH THE FAIRWAY WITH HIS TEE SHOT IS KNOCK IT IN FOR 69 AND A FOUR-SHOT WIN. FROM SUNRISE TO SUNSET. RAHM WINS THE MASTERS MARATHON! JIM: THEY BRING OUT HIS LITTLE 8-MONTH-OLD SECOND SON. AND HIS FATHER IS ON HAND FOR THIS.

WE MENTIONED HOW HIS FATHER HAS BEEN INFLUENTIAL, MAKE SURE HE WENT OVER AND SAID HELLO TO SEVE. HIS FATHER, EDWARTA. [SPEAKING IN SPANISH] JIM: THAT’S WONDERFUL. TREVOR: SO SPECIAL. >> YOU ARE HERE. >> I TOLD YOU. [CHEERS] JIM: WHAT A POPULAR WIN. THE SWEETHEARTS FROM ARIZONA STATE WALK OFF HAND IN HAND.

WITH TEARS FLOWING. WHERE THIS GAME CAN TAKE YOU. FROM A COASTAL BASQUE TOWN OF JUST 1,500 CALLED BARRICA, SPAIN. TO WHERE YOU WORK HARD ENOUGH AND THERE’S HIS FRIEND, D.J. GREGORY, WHO’S FOLLOWED HIM SO MANY TIMES AND JON HAS BEEN A GREAT FRIEND TO D.J. EVERYONE KNOWS D.J.’S STORY OUT ON THE TOUR.

AND PURE CLASS, JORDAN SPIETH, WAITING. FROM BARRICA TO THE COAST OF THE WORLD. [CHEERS] JIM: THERE’S AN OLD SPANISH SAYING FOR ONE WHO EMITS THE SENSE OF MAGNETISM. IT’S CALLED DUENTE AND JOHN RAHM UNQUESTIONABLY HAS THAT. THAT MAKES HIM TODAY ONE OF THE GAME’S GREATEST ATTRACTIONS AND HEROES.

♪ MORIKAWA IN THAT GROUP AT FOUR UNDER THAT FINISHED TIED FOR 10TH. CANTLAY AND WOODLAND, TOP 15 FINISHES. SAM BENNETT IS COMING DOWN TO BUTLER CAB IN, SOON TO BE RECOGNIZED AS THE LOW AMATEUR. WE SAW SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER, WHO WILL BE HERE TO PRESENT THE GREEN JACKET.

HE FINISHED IN A TIE FOR 10TH IN HIS DEFENSE. DUSTIN JOHNSON, THOMAS PIETERS, FRED CUBS. SCHWARTZEL, HORSCHEL AND-MILE-PER-HOURLE. TIGER MADE THE CUT. HAD TO WITHDRAW THIS MORNING. JON RAHM, THIS IS A LOOK BACK AT HIS DAY IN ROUND FOUR AT THE THIRD HOLE FOR BIRDIE. AND THEN AT THE EIGHTH.

AT WHAT POINT WERE YOU SENSING, TREVOR, THAT THE MOMENTUM WAS ALL STEERED IN HIS DIRECTION? TREVOR: THAT PUTT THERE ON THREE SURE WAS IMPRESSIVE BUT RIGHT AROUND EIGHT WAS WHEN HE STARTED TO GET HIS NOSE IN FRONT AND FROM THAT MOMENT ON, IT WAS ABSOLUTELY CLINICAL. JIM: IF YOU’RE GOING TO WIN

HERE, YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THOSE SHOTS AROUND THE GREEN. SCOTTIE WAS BRILLIANT LAST YEAR AND RAHM WAS AS WELL IN 2023. THIS WAS SOME SECOND SHOT AT THE 14TH THAT SET UP A BIRDIE. NO BOGEYS ON THE SECOND NINE COMING HOME. HE HAD TWO BIRDIES. A SAVING PAR AT 17.

AND THEN HOW ABOUT THE ONE AT 18? IT’S BEEN A SPECTACULAR YEAR AND NOW HE’S GOT A FOURTH VICTORY, SINCE JANUARY. FOURTH MASTERS CHAMPION FROM SPAIN AND THE LAST TWO TIMES NOW THAT THE FINAL ROUND HAS BEEN PLAYED ON SEVE’S BIRTHDAY. IT’S GONE TO A SPANIARD. SERGEO IN 2017 AND TODAY JON RAHM.

SEVE TAUGHT JOSE MARIA WHO SPREAD THE MESSAGE TO SERGIO AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY TO SPREAD THE LOVE AND MENTORING TO JON RAHM, WHO’S HEADED TO BUTLER CAB INFOR HIS GREEN JACKET. Like this. Getting this beer… all over the world… right when they need it. Yes, with IBM Consulting,

RIVETING FROM THE START AT 8:30. AND WHAT AN AMAZING EFFORT BY SO MANY PEOPLE TO GIVE THIS TOURNAMENT — GET THIS TOURNAMENT TO A SUNDAY FINISH AT SUNSET. I WANT TO THANK ALL THE WOMEN AND MEN WHO PROVIDED JUST COUNTLESS HOURS OF COVERAGE AND WORKED ALL DAY ON PRESENTING THE

MASTERS TOURNAMENT TO ALL THE BROADCASTERS AROUND THE WORLD. THERE WERE TIMES HERE, AS OF FRIDAY AFTERNOON, YOU WONDERED WOULD WE EVER SEE THE SUN AGAIN AT THIS YEAR’S TOURNAMENT? TODAY WE WERE BATHING IN SUNSHINE. RAHM WINNING BY FOUR OVER MICKELSON AND KOEPKA JORDAN SPIETH RALLIED, SHOT 66 AND TIES FOR FOURTH.

PATRICK REED AND RUSSELL HENLEY TIED FOR FOURTH. TOTAL OF 25 PLAYERS ENDED UP IN RED FIGURES. FINAU, STALLINGS AND OTHERS FINISHING AT EVEN PAR. A DAY THAT BEGAN WITH ONE PLAYER, BROOKS KOEPKA, FOUR IN FRONT. RIGHT AWAY, WITH A RESTART WHEN THE HORN SOUNDED AT:30, THERE WAS A TWO-SHOT SWING.

JON RAHM, WHO HAD TO OVERCOME NOT ONLY THAT FOUR-STROKE DEFICIT. HE HAD TO OVERCOME THE MENTAL FRUSTRATION OF AN OPENING HOLE FOUR-PUTT ON THURSDAY. REMINISCE END OF BEN HOGAN ONE-TIME PLAYING AT COLONIAL AND ENDED UP WITH A DOUBLE BOGEY SEVEN AND ONE OF HIS FELLOW COMPETITORS KEN VENTURI TOO BAD

ABOUT THAT DOUBLE, BEN, AS THEY WALKED TO THE SECOND HOME. HOGAN SAID THAT’S WHY YOU PLAY 72 HOST. THAT WAS THE STORY BEFITTING OF JON RAHM. WE SEND YOU TO AMANDA REPUBLICAN WE ARE BROOKS KOEPKA. AMANDA: BROOKS, THANK YOU FOR THE TIME. WINNING MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIPS IS NOT EASY. YOU’VE DONE IT FOUR TIMES.

WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE FOR YOU TODAY? JON: UH, YOU KNOW, I JUST KIND OF PLAYED AVERAGE AND I DIDN’T GET ANY GOOD BREAKS EITHER. FOR THAT BALL TO STAY THERE ON NINE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A TAP-IN PRETTY MUCH. THE PAR 3’S ON THE FRONT, I HIT

GOOD SHOTS, THEY JUST ENDED UP IN SOME TOUGH SPOTS AND THAT’S HOW IT GOES SOMETIMES BUT I DIDN’T FEEL LIKE I PLAYED TOO BAD AND OBVIOUSLY TRIED TO GIVE IT A RUN THERE AT THE END BUT WASN’T ENOUGH. CONGRATS TO JON. AMANDA: A GOOD SHOW OF SPORTSMANSHIP ON THAT FINAL ROUND.

WHAT DID YOU SAY TO JON? BROOKS: I JUST SAID CONGRATS. THE GREEN JACKET IS PRETTY SPECIAL SO NON IT. AMANDA: YOU’VE BEEN FIGHTING THROUGH INJURY, YOU’RE NOW HEALTHY AND YOU’VE CHOSEN TO SWITCH TOURS. HOW GOOD DID IT FEEL TO BE BACK HERE AND BE IN THE MIX? BROOKS: I LOVE IT.

JUST SOME DAYS YOU HAVE IT, SOME YOU DON’T AND TODAY WASN’T ONE OF THOSE BUT TODAY I FEEL GOOD AND I EXPECT TO BE FROM THE OTHER THREE. AMANDA: WE APPRECIATE THE TIME, THANKS, BROOKS. BROOKS: THANKS. JIM: OK, AMANDA, THE BIG BOARD AT THE 18TH. DOES IT HAVE A SPOT — DOESN’T

HAVE A SPOT LEFT TO FILL. IT’S ALL COMPLETE AND IT’S A MEMORABLE FINISH AND CHAMPION. JON RAHM IS JUST NOW MAKING HIS WAY INTO BUTLER CABIN. ♪ JIM: AND WE’RE JUST GETTING SET, GETTING EVERYONE IN PLACE FOR THAT TIME-HONORED TRADITION. SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER WILL BE PRESENTING THE GREEN JACKET.

JIM: AND WELCOME, EVERYONE, TO BUTLER CABIN. TIME FOR THE GREEN JACKET PRESENTATION. WHAT A TOURNAMENT THIS HAS BEEN CHAIRMAN RIDLEY. YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THE WEATHER OBSTACLES WE HAD TO OVERCOME. THIS WHOLE DAY OF GOLF TODAY AND IN THE END, NOT ONLY A GREAT CHAMPION BUT A GREAT MEMORY OF

THIS TOURNAMENT MUCH FRED: THANKS, JIM, IT’S BEEN QUITE A WEEK. OUR PATRONS HERE AND FANS AROUND THE WORLD HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH QUITE A FINISH. JIM: SCOTTIE HAS JON’S GREEN JACKET. JON, WE’LL HEAR FROM YOU IN A MOMENT. FANTASTIC WHAT YOU DID TODAY AND SAM BENNETT, THE LOW AMATEUR WHO

PLAYED IN THE FINAL GROUP IN THE THIRD ROUND AND IN CROWD FELL IN LOVE WITH WHAT SAM DID THIS WEEK AND AS YOU KNOW, THE AMATEUR IS SUCH A KEY PART OF IT. YOU PLAYED HERE THREE TIMES AS A PARTICIPANT. IT GOES BACK TO WHAT ROBBERY JONES — BOBBY JONES WANT THIS

WOULD TOURNAMENT TO REPRESENT. FRED: IT SURE IS AND WE’RE SO PROUD OF ALL OUR SEVEN AMATEURS WHO PLAYED THIS WEEK AND CONGRATULATE SAM ON HIS LOW AMATEUR FINISH. I KNOW YOU CAME IN HOPING TO WIN THE SILVER CUP AT LOW AM CULTURE AND YOU’VE DONE THAT AND ALSO COMPETED FOR THE GREEN JACKET.

WHAT WAS YOUR SENSE OF THIS WEEK? SAM: IT WAS INCREDIBLE. GETTING AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY AUGUSTA WAS A DREAM COME TRUE. WALKING UP 18 WAS BY FAR THE COOLEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. THE PATRONS WERE GREAT ALL WEEK, SUPPORTIVE. THE PEOPLE BACK HOME. THE MASTERS AND AUGUSTA WAS EVERYTHING I’VE EVER DREAMED OF.

JIM: THAT WALK UP 18 WAS ONE THING. THE WALK OFF OF 18, YOU COULD TELL IT REALLY TOUCHED YOU. THERE WAS AN OUTPOURING FOR AN AM CULTURE. WE HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT FOR A LONG TIME. HOW DO YOU TAKE THIS BACK TO SCHOOL? YOU HAVE ANOTHER EVENT THIS WEEK

WHERE YOU’LL BE PLAYING 1 HOLES CARRYING YOUR OWN BAG. WHERE’S YOUR HEAD AT RIGHT NOW? SAM: I DEFINITELY NEED SOME TIME TO DECOMPRESS. IT WAS A GREAT WEEK AND I LOOK FORWARD TO LOOKING BACK ON ALL THE MEMORIES. YEAH, IT MIGHT BE A 36-HOLE GRIND TOMORROW. WE’LL SEE.

I THINK I’M GOING TO PLAY. JIM: IT’S THE AGGIE INVITATIONAL TOMORROW. 36 HOLES, YOU CARRY YOUR OWN BAG. AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO STOP OFFED A — AT MADSONVILLE AT THE SAME TIME. YOUR HOMETOWN I’M SURE IS GOING CRAZY. CONGRATULATIONS. CHAIRMAN, YOU HAVE JON RAHM AS YOUR NEW MASTERS CHAMPION.

FRED: YOUR PLAY ALL WEEK WAS SPECTACULAR. 40 YEARS AGO YOU HERO RECEIVEI BALLESTEROS WON HIS FIRST GREEN JACKET AND YOU WON YOURS TODAY. HAPPENS TO BE HIS BIRTHDAY. HOW DOES ALL THIS FEEL? JON: I DIDN’T KNOW HOW IT WAS GOING TO COME TO ME UP UNTIL I HAD MY THIRD SHOT ON 1.

THE HISTORY OF THE GAME IS A BIG PART OF WHY I PLAY AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I PLAY AND RECEIVEI BEING ONE OF THEM. IF NOT FOR THAT RYDER CUP IN 1 1987. WE DON’T KNOW WHERE WE WOULD BE OR AS A FAMILY WE WOULD BE

TO GET IT DONE ON HIS BIRTHDAY ON EASTER SUNDAYS IS INCREDIBLY MEANINGFUL TO ME AND TO FINISH THE WAY IT DID — AN UNUSUAL PAR, VERY MUCH A SEVE PAR, IT WAS IN A NONPURPOSEFUL WAY A TESTAMENT TO HIM AND I KNOW HE WAS PULLING FOR ME TODAY AND IT

WAS A GREAT SUNDAY. FRED: CONGRATULATIONS. JON: THANK YOU. JIM: SEVE WAS THE EUROPEAN CAPTAIN IN 1987 AND YOUR PARENTS ATTENDED THAT AND TOOK ON THE GAME AND PASSED THAT LOVE ON TO YOU. WHERE DID YOU FEEL WAS YOUR TURNING POINT AS THE DAY BEGAN WITH YOU FOUR BEHIND BROOKS?

JON: I THOUGHT EIGHT WAS THE KEY BIRDIE. THAT BOGEY ON NINE, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF SWINGS I DIDN’T EXPECT AND I HAD TO GET THROUGH AMEN CORNER EVEN PAR. OBVIOUSLY, PHIL AND JORDAN WERE MAKING BIRDIES AND FINISHING STRONG. THEY WERE FINISHING THEIR ROUND AS WE WERE FINISHING 10.

SO MAKING SURE I DIDN’T PUT MYSELF IN A DIFFICULT SHOT ON 10, 11, 12 WERE THE KEY AND THEN ON 10 WHEN I COULD TURN AND MAKE THE ATTACK AND THAT’S WHAT I DID. THERE’S NOT REALLY ONE MOMENT BUT IF I HAD TO PICK ONE, I’D SAY THAT DRAW PERFECTLY ON 13

WAS THE START OF IT. JIM: YOUR BADGE NUMBER AND THE CADDIE BID NUMBER THIS WEEK WAS 49. APRIL 9. IT SURE LOOKED LIKE THINGS WERE ALIGNED WITH THE STARS AND IT WAS A SWEET MOTHERS-IN-LAW NOT ONLY WITH KELLY AND YOUR BABY BOYS, YOUR DAD BUT TO SEE JOSE MARIA THERE TO CELEBRATE WITH

YOU. WHAT DID HE TELL YOU? JON: I CAN’T QUITE REMEMBER. HE SAID HE HOPES IT’S THE FIRST OF MANY MORE. WE BOTH MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT SEVE AND IF YOU HAD GIVEN US 10 MORE SECONDS, I THINK WE’RE BOTH CRYING. I LIKE TO SEE HISTORY KIND OF REPEAT ITSELF BECAUSE WHETHER HE

WON HIS FIRST MASTERS IN 1999. SERGIO GOT HIS FIRST START. I GUESS SPAN YARDS JUST LIKE WINNING ON EASTER SUNDAY ON SEVE’S BIRTHDAY. IF BY CHANCE, I WANT TO GET A FEW MORE, CHAIRMAN, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR ME. JUST KEEP PUTTING IT ON EASTER SUNDAY, SOMEHOW.

I’M AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. YOU’LL HAVE TO ASK SEVE EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID. JIM: IT’S GREAT TO SEE YOUR LOVE OF HISTORY PAUSE NOW YOU’RE A WIG PART OF IT. CHAIRMAN, IT’S TIME FOR THE GREEN JACKET. FRED: THANKS, JIM. YOU’RE A GREAT CHAMPION. ALL OF US LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING

YOU COMPETE HERE MANY YEARS AND WEARING THE GREEN JACKET. AND WE’D BE HONORED IF YOU’D PLACE THE GREEN JACKET ON JON. SCOTTIE: SURE. FRED: CONGRATULATIONS, JON. WELL DONE. JON: THANK YOU. JIM: WELL, IT WAS A WALK FOR 30 HOLES TODAY. A WALK TO THE FINISH LINE WHERE A GREEN JACKET WOULD AWAIT JON

RAHM. HIS LEGION OF FANS, YOU COULD JUST HEAR THEM OUT THERE TODAY, ON EVERY STEP CHEERING HIS EVERY MOVE.
