defending Champion Taylor Moore Steve
Sans pleased to be alongside Brad Faxon
and Nota beet and he’s just off the
green using a putter bread well this is
a good play here you know that close to
the green it’s an obvious choice see all
the sand on the Green from the bunker
shots
there doesn’t matter if you’re on the
green or On The Fringe look at that star
for the defending champ and Ben Martin’s
on the
T hole kind of tucked in that back right
location going to take a good judged
iron to get tight and he’s
Ace almost from Justin Thomas at the
eth Justin kind of Rolling Along didn’t
play great last week missed the cut at
the Players he started on 10 look at
that shot at the eighth he would going
to birdie there he also Birdie the ninth
on Adam senson we talked about that 5
under 66 here’s one of the ways he got
there a beauty at 16 with his second
shot
one of his birdies on the card again
five under Aaron battle you saw him on
18 but how about earlier with his third
at the fifth doesn’t get any better than
this hulls it out that’s a par five five
under par right now but again he’s in a
tough spot to the right side of the
green absolutely player of that caliber
you feel like you got to go out and take
advantage of these par FIV
C oh that’s a great bump for shot there
he’ll be able to save par there coming
off that battle down the stretch with
Scotty sheffler last week this is at 16
toughest hole in the golf course Pearson
cudy has this for
birdie and gets it he needed
it couple birdies in his last four holes
so he’s going in the right direction
tough first nine holes at the 14th
Justin low needs to turn it around
quickly
he coming straight up the hill he can
give it a little Pace see if he can take
a little break out this catches the
right part that’ll help D moving back in
the right direction mhm and here’s the
par five first David
lipsky you know this whole location is
so far over on the right you miss it on
this left side like Jordan speak that
it’s not that hard to get up and down or
just up and in that is the first eagle
of the day Brad wow what a chip sh what
a great start for you to get off to that
you know you’re hoping to make a par I
mean a birdie and then it goes
down saw a couple nice shots in here
again that hole tucked back
right 194 yds back there it’s a long
seven
iron sure
is Man Jimmy coming awfully close to an
ace at the 17th Josh
Teeter good line
there good shot incredible taking it at
this flag stick typically one of the
hardest spots to hit to here’s Thomas
dri at the
eth this is one of the elevated t- shots
that I talked about very narrow Green
from right to left and this whole cut
just on the front left part and just see
how receptive those greens are that’s a
little salt it’s a little early for that
right now you should be enjoying it you
shouldn’t be stoking the fire for the
next one definitely putting yourself out
there you know if he had played over
here a little bit more than he has he’s
a wonderful
player shot there everybody’s just
having a little bit fun out there if
you’re capable of almost winning the
Players you’re certainly capable of
winning here this
week been playing
consistent golf all
season oh with some speed great birdie
there for
shopy
it in Great putt Ryan brem has a birdie
putt from just off the
green get this thing turning over Brad
yeah I was just saying this one’s a long
hole today 216 yards it’s downhill like
you said notice shots are up and down
hill walk away with the two here get
ready for the snake pit
so
good it’s ridiculously good the CL was
almost at his shoulder and the ball had
barely gotten off the club it was so
quick through the ball I mean you got to
have strong hands here and you got to be
really fast with the club head look how
fast the club heads passed the ball
there and notice that it earlier on five
when that shot can you swing hard and
hit at a short distance look how high he
hit that ball’s still spinning a little
bit anybody watching that just learn how
to do that back at the 15th Chad
Ry trying to make another birdie another
look from the same section of the green
there wow I think that’s the place to
hit it Steve hit it uh just whole High
to the right and be all right here’s
Kevin stman at 17 another one getting it
to stop right there to the right of that
hole location yeah that’s from right
there you could see the dark grass
behind him that’s where B Ball’s landing
on that downgrade and still been able to
hold
it you go the first of his two victories
on the PGA tour came right here 11 years
ago just got to get it on the back part
of the green
here beautiful strike there see if he
dialed in the number and he did who
almost dialed in a deuce something about
that short iron swing of Nick Taylor
what he did at WM down the stretch this
is AE batia third shot just a moment
ago that thing was moving too good thing
it hit the middle of the flag
stick watch
this look like it hit the
edge torbjorn olison drove it in the
water here at 12 so now this is his
third at the Par Four Steve you can
drive in the water two ways you can H
way right or you can hit through the
Fairway almost all
players trying to draw it there and
that’s going to be a nice one put for a
par almost a
sink here’s Lucas
Glover at 17 seem too many balls over in
this right
bunker maybe that’s the place the hit
the climb the ladder and then fall right
down Lucas with a birdie two and he gets
back to
that ho location on the right side of
the green and a little Nook over
there and right about there heck of an
approach shot for Peter
Mady played really well last week at the
Players Championship top 10 there from
long range mad mcne at the short game
the putting he’s healthy
[Music]
again got the familiar look with that
putter that he’s had where his hands are
just a little bit behind the ball never
seems to break his wrist has a little
bit longer follow through the putter go
up in the
air gets one back he’s done that a lot
over the years this is at the third Carl
Yuan who is on fire right now trying to
make his fourth birdie in the
row down the hill yes you on to five
underpar and a share of that lead
this is Chandler Phillips putting for
birdie at 17 there a long way here this
is a probably a little bit of a mishit
to be that far back it’s a full Club
short leaving the flag stick
in who cares 43 ft away set out to the
left players having so much success here
just bleeding that ball back into that
whole location and another one
[Applause]
here’s Zack Johnson from just off the
green of 12 we’ve seen him rolling some
long putts through his career I like
that I like
that stealing right there he doesn’t
even look surprised he’s like you know
it’s
easy 15 another birdie try can Brian
make this one a
15 coming from that similar side of the
green there is zero quick in Brian har
little a shot of choice as we’ve
seen to get the ball close is the high
cut but the low smother is
uh not not that bad actually
these you know he look like an octopus
Brad break this one down for us I don’t
know which is funnier looking him or
Juan Yan when he goes through it upright
That Swing is you see
that must have hit it off the toe or way
off the high part of the
face M signal malady for
birdie that guy can roll his Rock
definely didn’t like his t-shot but
ended up perfect after that the other
side of the golf course the third hole
Kevin Roy underneath the hole for birdie
get
there yes boy he’s having himself a day
Kurt hard with the ball right up against
the collar there of of the first
cut
