Ladies and gentlemen my friends here we go we are rocking out round number two live Hong Kong at the Hong Kong golf club and I know I know is this you let me know is this the best round of Anthony Kim’s life now look we’re not going to always just cover Anthony Kim

But I think it’s such a vital and important and interesting and exciting kind of you know storyline to get into and he’s not going to get a ton of early uh coverage coverage at this point until he’s really In Contention so we’re going to bring it to you and as well as some

Other stuff and have a have a great time as we go make sure please subscribe to the channel support the channel it’s totally free thanks for all the love and support and let me know other things you want to talk about and discuss and cover have me cover whatever uh in the

Comments down below so make sure you you are following along so you don’t miss anything I’m on the weird Hong Kong schedule it’s crazy but we’re out a good time so hope you’re enjoying the content the leaders are Abraham aner and Dean burster and they’re starting today at 7

Under John Ron would most likely be won back at but he had a weird triple bogey yesterday where he’s like punching out hit the curb with a cart path ricocheted back and was a mess so he sits at 3 under as we start and as always we’ll kick things off with

Anthony Kim starting on a whole 15 and he’s playing with Phil Mickelson awesome and Hudson Swafford and enk will have to struggle right out of the gate after missing a bit right that’s the thing about the Hong Kong Golf Club you miss a little bit and big numbers man they’ll

Find you quick AK chipping for his third shot on the 15th hole and what a shot he’ll have a putt for his best ever opening hole in 12 years pretty awesome I’m going to put my cash that he makes this four-footer and yes today he should be uh in a comfortable pairing playing

With his good old friend Phil michon he even gets a little fist mum there from the man and uh he’s feeling good in case anybody is wondering uh I’m getting all the footage here from the live Golf Plus site on the computer where you can currently stream every single group so

Whoever you want to follow just go on there and uh you’ll find it on the computer only currently the question is although you know I said he shoots the best round of his life will he shoot his first underpar round today that’s going to be the question he shows some good

Signs of uh of golf here and there and uh and it’s nice and he’ll get a chance for an early birdie let’s all remember the last time a comeback like this ever even tried to happen was Russell Pro in Cinderella Man well okay you know James

Bradock was the man but you knew that either way this kind of stuff doesn’t happen very often and man this guy is determined to drive us crazy running all these putts by the hole but when you put those short ones uh like he does I guess

It’s fine that’s two Pars in a row to kick off the round finally a decent start playing a tight course like this in competition will sharpen your game up quick with all the Precision shots needed and that’s another good one and he’s got the early strut going we just

Might be on the break 70 watch today for Anthony Kim looks like he may have tugged this one a little bit it could have caught even a little bit of a flyer and that’s into Club 54 Where the drinks are free and luckily so are the drops

After the drop he goes for the high shot but it looks like he went under that pretty much and uh ends up in the bunker that’s the first one of the day we might want to keep track how many traps this guy goes in he should be pretty good out

Of these by now and that’s a nice one he’ll only drop one here so that’s good Michelson who’s playing with Kim and currently plus 10 and even on the day he rips a good one here on the 18th and AK follows him up with a good iron shot

Down the right side of the hole all right let’s see how Rah is looking who’s too under so far today and on the first hole he getting in front of himself hey look even the shot Tracer is pink that’s cool Liv is thinking of everything like

Them or not you have to agree they are different regardless AK didn’t get the best kick and has to play a shot from behind a tree and wow he’s channeling his inner Sergio Garcia from way back in the day he must have stolen that from

Him back in the uh 2008 Ridder cup when he put the smackdown on Garcia so that’s a a good one there that was a gutsy play from AK and with this pitch it’s okay to about 8 feet Phil looking for his first birdie of the day

And with his new giant lab putter he’ll brush that in for par but more importantly he gave AK a good read there I’m not so sure about not tying the shoes but I like a snug fit anyways and AK with another solid Putt and with the

Early walk AK now on the first hole hitting driver and let’s see if they give him a cool shot Tracer color no and he doesn’t like the shot either he would end up struggling on that hole never being in a good spot and ended up with a

Double Bogey and Phil’s birdie uh that makes both of them tied now for last place now AK and he’s looking left uhoh oh no did that hit the cart where is that thing where is it where oh there it is okay stop stop stop stop bite stop stop somebody kick that thing somebody

Kick that in the grass please stop that might go back to the te box stop stop all right all right all right stop all right AK would end up pitching it to here and uh I don’t see him missing this one for par either and we go to the

Third and the coolest t- shot here at the Hong Kong Golf Club I wonder what membership cost here anyone know that drop it in the comments below just ahead of this group is the man himself John ROM putting for eagle and he’ll make birdie to go six under your current

Leader is this man Abraham aner at N9 under and this ver birdie man he is just cruising and loving this place AK from not in the Fairway bunker luckily but close has a long way to the par five and that’ll be just fine right there now

With the pit shot for his third and that’s a nice touch there and he’ll have a nice look at birdie a lot of stuff has been made about the withdrawal requests from Liv and Greg Norman get getting basically world ranking points let’s remember Greg Norman’s playing chess

Here and I think everybody else is playing checkers he he’s really doing this in my opinion to make everybody talk about it including the PGA Tour the DP Bo all the tours are talking about it and basically Greg Norman created all this buzz by really not even doing anything his application was just

Sitting there nothing was happening he wanted something to happen so he withdrew it and he gets free marketing and publicity it’s genius move in my opinion Rah on four for his second birdie in a row and he’s finding it here nice AK on the fourth with a close look

For birdie and there you go he stayed tied with Phil for last place one battle at a time as he makes his comeback Kim on the fifth after seeing Phil stick one close he tugs this a little bit and is a little short-sided more short gamework

Needed here he’ll end up giving one back and uh it’s not a great way to follow up a birdie now watching AK a lot of people will say uh his game is not good well I wouldn’t expect his game to look anything like it did in the past like at

Least for a year we’ll get glimpses of it here and there but you know consistency I think will take a bit of time but what I’m seeing is he has good feel around the greens he’s hitting shots Cuts draws maybe not always intentionally but you know he’s still

Playing shots he’s also putting very well especially when it comes to those short putts inside 10 feet and that’s something that most people lose quickly just imagine if Scotty sheffler could drop these like AK I mean the world would be in some serious trouble and the most important thing needed is belief in

Yourself and as he goes on I think he will build that up quickly and then a huge shift I think will take place and we’ll see some exciting things out of AK now I look I could be totally delusional and this whole thing could end up being

A huge scam but I just don’t think AK is that kind of guy that would just be here for money and just not care you know he may have been a party animal but in my you know assessment of he’s always seemed to be a really genuine type of

Person and I don’t see a guy like him faking something especially something like this the thing that might mess him up though would would that would mess a lot of people up would be you know wondering and thinking about whether or not the game did pass you by almost like

Captain America like when he woke up he’s in the future right you’re naturally going to reflect on the past a bit and so you know you’re going to have to shake those thoughts of and really try hard to live in the present can he not give one back after a birdie ouch

That’s a theme he’s going on right now unfortunately answer for his fourth birdie in a row to extend his lead oh my goodness and the smallest guy on the course getting it done for sure he might be the only guy out here I’m taller than to so anyways I’m rooting for him too

He’s a good player let me know what you think in the comments below but it looks like Kim is finally trying to attack back a little bit more on the course whereas before he was just trying to like not do anything too bad ROM for Birdie on 14 and he’s back to eight

Under and only six back of answer AK from the Fairway bunker on 10 and that’s a great shot from there if it’s oh my gosh stay stop stop stop stop stop no that stinks all right well luckily it’s a Red Stake penalty and he’s able to

Drop on this side and all right he’ll make Bogey and he drops two straight if I’m Anthony Kim here with uh only four holes left to play and one of them a par five my goal would be to make two birdies on the finish in four holes I’d

Want to give myself like this mini goal and something to keep myself engaged and motivated and by his reaction there he might actually be trying to do just that our answer is just totally out of his mind and is now 15 under and has a five shot lead he’ll finish there after

Shooting a 62 today and with three holes left on the day I have to say Kim’s round today has been much more steady than ever even though he’s still over par you can see that he’s getting more and more comfortable with every shot all right there’s one birdie and there’s two

Left to play lots of comments out there about players not having to play well for a paycheck out here on the live tour and it’s just not totally true you know many of the players didn’t get signing bonuses you number did and the top players did but you know what it doesn’t

Mean they’re not putting in the work I’ve been to events in the past they are working hard on their game this I know now I wish I could cover more players but in a format like this it’s you know you kind of kind of have to pick who to

Showcase so for now it’s Anthony Kim back in his favorite place and I see it pays off hitting it in so many bunkers oh my gosh and that’s going to be two birdies in a row and now he’s one shot out of last place this is by far Anthony

Kim’s best round and some might say the best round of his life remember we don’t yet know where his life has taken him and I’m going to say that when we do find out where he’s been we’re going to look back at this round and be in

Amazement that he’s even here let alone shooting close to even par wow that’s a shot that’s a golf shot from there and he’ll have a chance for his first birdie train uh in 12 years so you tell me was this the round of Anthony Kim’s life he

Looked like he had a lot of pep in his step he shot at plus two 72 today and uh like he looked like a man who was just feeling like he finally fit in a little bit maybe it was a pairing with Phil I think he’ll play with him again

Tomorrow maybe it’s just hey this is his fifth round in the books competitively over the last 12 years like who knows maybe he’s just kind of getting the flow but he looked like he was finally hitting a lot of shots and feeling a lot more comfortable and it’s on this super

Tight tricky course with tiny greens I think tomorrow he’s going first underpar round I’m going to predict it right here we’ll see we’ll bring it to you let me know other stuff you want me to cover here around golf whatever thanks for listening talk to you guys soon

  1. Yes AK has an interesting back story but with soooo few slots on the LIV tour this doesn't make sense to me. LIV has done a great job of opening up their tour to exceptional College champs, to Order of Merit winners and International Series champs and to new Qualifiers. Is this just because they needed 2 players to fill out the pairings? It's painful to watch his playing and it has to affect his playing partners. There are Hundreds of "great guys" out there who would help the LIV product better.

  2. Is there a youtube video that explains what exactly happened to AK?.. I mean his face obviously shows some rapid aging and its appearant has undergone some physical turmoil…please reply with link.

  3. What CONTINUES to happen is an absolute slap in the face of the PGA Tour….

    Rahm is only the latest, but there have been several other
    'John Rahm" transfers….

    Dudes who, while playing on the PGA Tour, are considered at the time of their signing to be the current "Best player in the World"..

    Every Single One of them have been spoken of as if they are going to get to LIV and dominate….

    But guess what…???

    THEY NEVER DO !!

    MAYBE, just maybe, these LIV guys are a little bit better than the rumble from the 19th hole would imply….

    It has come to be my opinion that EVERY WEEK of LIV Golf…..

    Delivers a STRONGER field than…..

    ANY WEEK of PGA Tour Golf !!

  4. Liv for some reasons dont see fit to make these updates on their scoop, so thx a lot for doing this… Reason why we are here.. to see AK progress (hopefully).

  5. Great coverage, love the format. Feels like a golf chat you'd have with your boy after a round

  6. When I saw his shoes untied in his debut I thought wtf ?
    I mean , tattoos and his unrecognizable look compared to years ago…? Ok. But the shoes? That’s athletic equipment I found that RidonkUlous ! And just plain stupid sorry. Oh, he’s still has his shoes untied ?? Omg! 😂

  7. AK is hard to look at nowadays hes got that Artie Lang nose,hey dude pull your pants up and tuck your shirt in too

  8. He stayed away because of money, so it stands to reason he could also come back for money.

    I am not a hater, I like AK, but I also look at the world with a strict logical consistency.
