come to an end and what a day Aussie
fans were at their absolute best Brendan
Steels leading uh the end of today and
torc remains on the top of the team
leaderboard and we’re here to chat about
that and more we’re live from the city
of churches this is Liv golf Adelaide
welcome to Club 54 post round show I am
your host Christian Crosby and we
couldn’t be more excited for today look
at this crowd here in Australia Adel the
uh most amazing golf fans I’d say I have
ever seen uh and joining me today taking
off his CEO and commissioner hat as
co-host thank you so much Greg Norman
for joining us and Brendan Steele thank
you as well for joining us at the top of
the show and congratulations on your
amazing day uh 100,000 people were
expecting throughout the week Greg I
want to start with you before we get
into your day Brendan how does it feel
to see this event grow so
quickly look I I think just one word I’m
very proud of it right I mean proud for
what adelay stepped up I’m proud of what
the the premier um Pete melanowski he
was melanowski excuse me he actually
believed in us right from the beginning
and he wanted us to be here so to see it
all take place in a very very short
period of time is rewarding then to get
the feedback I’ve walked around every
day with everybody and you having over
90 plus thousand people around here
following mean great players like
brandan and everybody else it’s uh it’s
rewarding now uh Brendan thank you for
joining us again congrats on your day I
heard you talk with dom a little bit
after you but I would love for you to
tell the fans here just how did your day
go yeah I mean it was it was a really
great day obviously the energy of the
crowd is fantastic uh the fans are so
supportive and they’re having such a
great time I mean it’s it’s nice when
you can hit some good shots for them and
put on a little bit of a show now uh did
that uh Watering Hole over there
disappoint you today
no not at all and uh I mean I hit a nice
shot there today too which was really
great now we have some highlights of
your day here we would love for you to
talk us through it and of course Greg
give us some of your sauce too Brendan
steel ladies and gentlemen yeah I don’t
know what hole this is this on three on
three oh this was the start of the day
so I four iron had a really slippery
putt there and uh it was nice to start
with a two on that hole it’s one of the
harder holes and this is one from four
from the four P okay yeah and then on
four so um pin tucked over on the right
there had pitching wedge in hit it close
um and bir on eight oh yeah eight
thought I hit a good shot there thought
I hit it a little closer but was able to
run it in from 22 ft or so there so off
to a hot start this was 10 yeah I was
work been working hard on my bunker game
Phil’s really helped me a ton and uh
it’s it’s been showing quite a bit with
shots like
that there the watering hole we were
talking about baby so a little amped up
and so take take a little less club and
hit it hard and was able to get the
number right so that was really nice now
I would assume uh playing in front of
these fans with all of the noise uh
would help you but is it ever a
distraction at any time when there’s
pressure on you you know I mean we put
enough pressure on ourselves but uh
having the support of the fans here
they’ve been so great they’ve been so
supportive and and having such a great
time that uh it’s just really good
energy and it’s it’s easy to get going
yeah look I think with these guys
Brandon would would it be a test to it
that you get into a zone right when
you’re playing really well you’re Focus
you’re in that zone you really you see
him but and you hear him but you don’t
really see and hear him well you talk
about your shot execution and going
forward to the next next shot next shot
so you did that brilliantly and the golf
course is obviously giving it up a
little bit too right you can play pretty
aggressive around either Fairways you
can spin them no matter where the whole
location is and I notice on 12 there
which is a new whole location because
last year we didn’t have it there you
know you can you can be a bit aggressive
with it I go ahead go ahead no for sure
um you can definitely spin it from the
Fairway if you’re in the Fairway if
you’re in the trees then you’re really
struggling around this place but yeah if
you hit the Fairway you can definitely
get it close my question to you Greg and
you can obviously chime in on this is
just how important is michelson’s
mentorship to the
team well I think Phil takes that role
on but I see brilliantly he’s been that
way when you hear some of the we had a
wonderful session last night with the
panel that he was on and the way he
talks about what Liv represents to him
and what golf has done for him you know
he wants to instill it he wants to put
it into his team members right and and
to Brandon look he’s one of the best
short game players in the history of the
game of golf right big statement to make
but it’s factual um so if you can impart
one or two messages on to your team
member or even others to learn from the
game of golf that’s that’s what paying
it forward is all about yeah brenon for
you you and your caddy seem just in the
zone today you seem like a real team
today you want to talk about how you
guys went through things today yeah I
mean Chris has been with me for 9 years
now so we know each other very well um
he knows what I like what I don’t like
and um he knows when to chime in and
when to slow me down when to you know
pump me up so um it’s uh it’s just a
it’s a great partnership on and off the
course like um I feel very close to him
as a friend and and want the best for
him as well so we really help each other
now uh here’s some shots of of you guys
uh chatting here can you can you uh
you’re reading the putts here I believe
yeah yeah he helps me a ton with my
putting especially on the longer putts
and if I’m not seeing it clearly um he
kind of checks my line and helps me to
to get the right line to match the speed
cuz the greens are very quick here so if
you’re not playing enough break then you
know the ball can get away from you
pretty quick Greg you know a lot about
this course um I would love for you to
just talk about this course and what
these guys have been facing the last two
days well look I think the golf course
is a position golf course you got to get
in play like Brandon said if you’re on
The Fairway you can spin it you’re can
attack some the greens got a little bit
of moisture in it because of this time
of year so you can get at it but it like
I said it’s a positional play golf
course get in the right place
understanding where the whole locations
are a lot of these green locations look
intimidating because the bunkers look
very intimidating visually uh but at the
same time if you’re it’s it’s a one of
those golf cours in the world if you’re
always whole high you’re going to be in
a good stad right and so if you’re
anywhere above the hole like brenon said
the greens are very very fast now you
got some issues with you sometimes that
break that looks like maybe 10 in might
be 20 in so you really got to understand
how to play the golf course thank you
Greg all right Brandon before you go we
do this thing called form check we have
our fans submit their swings and then we
have you check their form great I love
when you chime in too are you ready for
this you down Brendon yeah AB all right
he’s focused all right here we go first
one’s up all right what do you think
about this how’s the form looking
they’re asking yeah not bad it looks
like a lot of arms to me Greg what yeah
totally did no body motion there it’s
all arms all arms actually yeah so a
little more body a little more rotation
okay you don’t have to be nice by the
way is be
nice all right here’s another one right
here all right fader off the te yeah not
bad it looks like weigh a little back at
a dress like sitting back behind him a
little bit Yeah and then and that’s arms
are too far away from him so therefore
he’s going to get in a situation where
the club arms and Club might get stuck
behind him which will be an issue but he
he’s definitely squatting too much like
he’s trying to take a dump you know he
should not be doing that wow I love that
analogy is too nice now no that’s
exactly what I wanted thank you Greg
here’s another one um all right what’s
going on here I don’t know it’s a bad
angle balance get into single figures
now was that that’s a little like Scotty
sheffler type leg kick there but I don’t
think he’s going to be as effective
there was a leg kick there here’s a
well what I’d say about that swing yeah
it’s like um it’s different number one
uh number two he’s he’s got to get his
right shoulder going back right the
right shoulder stops and the arms keep
going and that creates a bit of an issue
for him all right we have one more you
guys were too nice on that one here’s
this last one okay interesting nice
inspired by team Ripper
GC um wait I wait a minute did you guys
see uh I don’t know what that was at the
end of the Swing what what is this this
part
here oh yeah that means he hit it well
any comment on that guys I mean I think
he had a good shot thoughly right that
was the best one yeah all right Brendon
thank you so much for joining us and
good luck tomorrow yeah Brandon play
well tomorrow buddy keep it going right
all right stick around this club 54 post
round show more to talk about here in
Adelaide and there’s that beautiful
crowd um as the sun sets the energy
absolutely has not set all right we’re
going to pull up the individual
leaderboard Greg Norman still sticking
with me here as you look at this
leaderboard thoughts on this leaderboard
look one thought is is compact right
there’s a lot of people there four shots
is nothing around this golf course you
saw what Brandon did today and actually
you know from a team perspective just
what the High Flyers did two guys shot
15 under so watch out for that tomorrow
anybody on this leaderboard and probably
even nine under has got a chance of uh
going at it tomorrow all right let’s
take a look at the team leader board
and T GC at the top our High Flyers just
spoke with Brandon it’s so close yeah I
I love it because you know tqu is T
they’ve done they’ve done extremely well
over this year and last year but look at
High Flyers and iron heads wonderful to
see those guys up there type of golf
course that allows them to do that so
tomorrow all four scores count little
bit of different bow game tomorrow so
let’s just see how the end result will
be GRE here’s my question for you could
we have our first team playoff here in
Natalie is it looking like that I hope
so I’m I’m really looking forward to
seeing how the captains will pick and
who in the situation look there could be
two could be an individual as well as a
team playoff and that’s May him at the
best well Greg Norman I want to thank
you for your time you have a lot to do
here in Australia enjoy the rest of the
week and thanks for joining the post

here as well join the club post that
show thr
up all
right and just a moment we’ll be talking
to uh suan Han about her day she got to
follow cam Smith Abe answerer Charles
schwarzel and look at this the granny
Shack we’re calling it
whole lot of interesting things
happening here in
Adelaide I went to uh the merchandise
shop earlier to uh grab a ripper GC hat
and they were all sold out says a lot
about the fandom
here all right and joining us in the
post round show suan hang how are you
suan I am great you’re all Ripper out I
am I I actually bought all the uh Ripper
merchandise so you got n left I yeah
you’re the reason I couldn’t get a hat
apparently um there was a 35% increase
in the fans attendance today did you
notice that as you were trying to
maneuver around today oh absolutely I
was with Cam Smith and uh he is
certainly a home favorite everyone’s uh
rooting for him you can certainly feel
the love not just for him but really uh
for the rest of the Ripper team team
especially when they’re playing so well
as well uh you got the entire country
and Nation around them and and behind
them and it is really great to to see
that yeah he said in his uh press
conference that he watched Taylor gu
tapes from last year and all he wanted
to do was mimic that this year and as I
watched him today it seemed like he just
kept his calm and his cool the entire
time today uh did you notice that yeah
absolutely I think in the post round
interview we chatted about about sort of
the experience that he he got from last
year he knew better what to expect in
terms of how to handle himself with the
crowd with the pressure with the uh you
know everyone wanting everything and
everything from him uh so he’s certainly
have managed that a lot better but he’s
also really very focused he’s a very
different uh person getting into this
week he’s played well in the Masters
he’s played so consistent uh all year
round and really just starting to string
everything together he said yesterday
that oh I left some putts out there he
felt like he left a few out there not so
much today uh he had full control over
his game over his mind and he seems just
so focused and it’s going to be a really
really interesting Championship Sunday
well let’s take a look at his highlights
then here’s cam Smith all right take us
through it suan you got to see a lot of
this up close and personal yeah this is
his starting hole his second shot into
the fifth that is one way to start your
round you certainly felt like he was
trying to make a statement today I spoke
to his coach Brent field out there and
he said cam was certainly trying to go
as low as he could today he knew he had
to because of just the caliber of
players out here and perfect scoring
condition this is a fantastic one here
as well bogey free so far cam through 36
holes not exactly easy to do out here
this is the 17 his second shot right up
that hill pin seeking all day long it
just goes to show how confident he is
just the way he had attacked the whole
locations the way and the line that he
picked off the tea his driver there he
is on the Range he did exactly the same
thing yesterday post round he went to
the range really tried to get a a feel
of his swing again uh he did the same
thing yesterday he’s probably going to
head to the putting green in a minute
here just to roll a few
putts a bit different from from someone
like a John ROM you know John ROM
doesn’t hit to the range he doesn’t
practice if he’s had a good round right
he’s the kind of guy that kind of likes
to go into the next day with a bit of
confidence whereas cam he likes to
practice whether he’s a good day or Bad
Day right here’s some cam Smith social
media the granny Shack waiting on whole
five for cam Smith he’s got a huge fan
base here and they are creative oh yeah
I was actually right there and I saw the
granny Shack and they were just so
enthusiastic they had so much love for
Cam and you know what kudos to cam even
during the start of his round he gave
them a nice little wave and said hi yeah
I want the backstory on the granny Shack
I need more about that and look out for
the Rippers here’s a tweet here and man
these guys look at watching that’s Meo
Perera by the way the entire tqu team we
haven’t pointed that out in our main
broadcast all of them decided to go with
a mullet this week as well as a stash
really repping cam Smith here in
Australia that’s one way to get some
fans they even had matching outfits at
the welcome party oh yeah I don’t know
if you noticed that and here’s The
Watering Hole uh how was your experience
at the watering hole oh my goodness you
know last year it was amazing this year
we topped it I mean the energy out there
is much bigger there’s LED and the
walkway the tunnel the energy the crowd
everyone knew exactly what to expect
and I tell you what the guys out there
are having so much fun it’s so loud I
can’t hear the broadcast okay so here
are some of the highlights from the
crowd at the watering hole ad WAVE clean
wave right there very clean that is a a
10 out of
10 I think they sang along word for word
every single song as each guy came out
there check out that a lot of mullet
action going on out there a whole lot of
really interesting dance moves shirts
being lifted up shoes left and right and
the cam Smith entrance is probably my
favorite thing of the day uh so I want
to talk about cam Smith again uh
something that was also mentioned in the
press conference it said it’s when you
want something so bad sometimes it can
get in the way of your mental it can
almost make it a little harder when
everyone is behind you everyone is
supporting you and everyone wants to see
you win especially if it’s your hometown
right oh yeah how does he conquer such
mental gymnastics that he’s probably
going right now in Australia well I mean
I said that on the main broadcast you
know last year he didn’t really know
what to expect in terms of crowd and it
came and everyone just loved him and he
was doing so much on and off the golf
course I think a lot of people that
don’t really get to see cam on a weekly
basis he does almost triple the amount
of stuff this week outside the golf
course for example yesterday after
practice he had to go attend a dinner he
had to do this he had to sign autographs
he’s spending extra time with people
he’s got family he’s got friends here
it’s a lot and it’s really difficult to
really keep your focus uh shot by shot
and really keep to your process it takes
a lot of discipline and I think that is
the main difference that he’s done this
year heading into adate this week he’s
really got himself in the right head
space and he’s prepped exactly the way
that he needed to coming into to Ed now
you mentioned John ROM earlier I know
you didn’t follow him today but which
what’s your take on his state right now
after coming out of day two yeah you
know John spin hasn’t had his best game
yet he’s been contending the last five
events including right here in Adelaide
um I know he started out really slow
today but then managed to really uh pull
himself together and come back really
strong let’s take a look at some
highlights some John ROM highlights here
for you suan yeah this is a birdie on
the
fourth rolling that in at tell you what
the greens are so perfect out here at
the gra this is his second here on the
par five seven that’s right drove to the
left side had to hit a high
draw and look at
that what a shot I mean he’s a Spaniard
so shot shaping for him around here is
is uh is easy comes very naturally to
him and this is a birdie on the ninth
just sliding that one in making that
look easy oh
yeah and this is a 12 hole
this party hole he talked about how much
he loved it yesterday oh he gave the
crowd a little something to cheer for as
well today crowd was uh absolutely
insane uh today suan you were great
thank you for joining us as always
you’ve had a long day so I’m kicking you
out you can go now I’m going to the
Fisher concert I’ll see you over there
after show I’ll see you over there I’ll
get a beer ready for you all right thank
you do you do that thank you suan uh as
always always it’s a pleasure with you
and as you can see the beautiful
Adelaide stand strong day two has come
to an end we’re talking about
Championship Sunday in just a few
moments look at that beautiful Adelaide
there by the water it’s Club 54 post
round show
all right we just had suan and she was
able to catch up with Lucas Herbert
earlier this week take a look at
this something I also found out about
you is your love for music specifically
you collect guitars when I say I collect
guitars I just end up buying more than I
really need I wouldn’t say I’m
collecting any rare pieces I just end up
with a lot of guitars so I I double I’m
definitely not a professional I won’t be
playing in front of any audience anytime
soon but we’ll make that happen I do I
do enjoy when I am home plugging the
guitar in and trying to play some stuff
and I would say with my golf game I’m
quite artistic so I feel like the music
side of things it just helps feed into
that a little bit and just you know take
your mind off golf what’s the most
famous or the nicest guitar that you own
of you recently bought for yourself I
think I was at the US Open last year I
went to a shop called Norman’s rare
guitars in La M and I bought a offender
stratas that is a replica of Eddie Van
Halen’s guitar back in the day so oh
that’s going to be pretty cool it’s
really really cool like if you play
anything that’s kind of down a Van Halen
sort of sound you can make it sound
really really good so I love that thing
I love playing it oh I need to I need to
look at that I need to you need to take
a picture and show it yeah for
sure it’s Club 54 post round show in
just a few minutes we’ll uh talk to our
good friends Jerry fultz and Don Boule
who got to follow around Iron Head GC
there’s cam Smith with the ultimate
Swagger and hopefully he’ll have another
great day tomorrow there’s the fans
getting really excited there with Cam
doesn’t look like he’s planning on
leaving here anytime soon he just was at
the driving range he’s going to head
over to putting and here’s a social
media post about cam Smith cam Smith for
Aussie there we go next Generation
golfer right there
C Smith for aie prime minister and I bet
he could win actually I think the
premier of South Australia could win
that easily he’s so popular around here
Christian and ladies and gentlemen if
you didn’t know who that was speaking
that was Jerry folz uh speaking on the
microphone and Dom ble thank you guys
for joining us in the post round show uh
Dom you had yourself a day I did I did I
was following
uh Kazuma I think the first round leader
I got pulled off so uh yeah Carlos Ortiz
and Danny Lee and they all played pretty
well you know and they played quickly so
it was fun to watch them I I think uh as
I watch those guys to see them keep that
lead and to stay confident and calm
throughout the day it’s not easy to do
right what was something you noticed
about that well it’s not easy because
they’re kind of the unheralded players
on this league because we have so many
superstars here but they’ve played with
a with great composure all three of them
but they were focused and I still think
you know Danny Lee he’s an aggressive
player uh he’s one of these players you
just don’t know what he’s going to do
he’s going to he could win tomorrow he’s
had a win already here and uh here we
are looking at him there yes let’s take
a look that was really aggressive t-
shot he hit on the fourth everybody else
is hit nines there he pulled out a
driver hit a great shot and watch
this watch this how close did this go
from yes I remember this one
it doesn’t get much closer than that it
doesn’t we like those and it off like
it’s nothing I like that that’s my
favorite
part and remember Dom he did all this
with a double bogey back at five yeah he
did he was a little careless out of the
trees there he was in thick rough just
didn’t hit it hard
enough this Bunker play is spectacular
and watch this he was a little unlucky
here
also spun back a bit more than he wanted
but he made take the
pop yeah so Kazuma dropped off just a
little bit what would you say went wrong
for him today you know he he hadit a
couple of loose ones early on he hit
some PS but he he gets he tends to get a
little under and he pushes his uh his t-
shots or his long irons and they kind of
float up there but uh he he just had a
had a big mistake on on 15 where he hit
it over the back and there was like a 10
15 minute ruling and it just took him
off his rhythm I overall iron have have
been doing a great job here in Adelaide
how much confidence and promise do you
think that gives them going into the
final day I think a lot you know I mean
they’re all playing pretty well uh
they’re looking for their first win
they’re they’re The Underdogs no one’s
going to think that they’re the ones who
are going to win tomorrow but all four
of them on a Sunday all four scores
count they got to throw in some good
numbers though Kazuma watching on TV and
you made the point earli he looked very
comfortable out there he looked
comfortable on the first te he was given
that gum a workout but he looked
comfortable that was uncharted waters
for him do you think the the finish
today was maybe I don’t know I’m asking
you a question I should be able to
answer but I I want to know you were
right there with him did did it feel
like the sense of the moment might have
got to him a little bit this is some I
mean he’s won some big events he has
he’s won two in Japan and he’s contended
many many times uh yeah I mean you know
we’ve been around long enough Jerry I
think you easy yeah you’re a little bit
longer than me by the way easier all
right we’ll talk a little bit yeah we’ll
talk a little bit more but first we have
to toss it over to someone we didn’t
toss it to yet Rachel Drummond she’s
over there with Lucas Herbert I think
Rachel what’s up oh matching outfits it
couldn’t get any better than this Rachel
what’s going on over there close I can
see they’re taking the Mi out of our
outfits you can’t hear them but in
professional golf is so important to
bounce back especially when the field
are making so many birdes the man that
did that Lucas Herbert from Ripper GC
thank you for joining us is it Ripper JC
a Gryffindor
you need to speak your stylist now you
made eight birdies out there today
dropped one shot yesterday you shot one
over you weren’t happy I spoke with your
coach D and he said you did some work
after the round y can you talk to us
about what you did on the pting green to
get ready to shoot load today yeah so I
think yesterday we sort of got some
disconnects through my basically
shoulders and arms and my body so it was
quite like yeah as you sort of as I sort
of say like disconnected out that way so
we just wanted I basically did a lot of
did a lot of putting last night with
towels or alignment sticks under my arms
just to try and feel like everything
kind of worked together the shoulders
sort of work together with a poter face
and that was really my feel all day I
basically tried to feel like this right
elbow stayed tucked in and as long as it
stayed there and didn’t get any space
away from my body I was very confident I
was going to start online and why is the
connection important is that for the
strike for people at home yeah strike
start line everything like it’s just
it’s very important that you move the
Potter with your big muscles you don’t
you don’t want to be moving it with your
hands with your wrists with your like
anything basically anything below the
shoulders they they’re kind of your
connection point to the Potter and
that’s your feel but that’s about it
that everything everything down here
just kind of moves as it naturally
should and the bigger muscles are what
sort of just moves the Potter from point
A to point B go on let’s see one that
wasn’t one no that wasn’t my
finest and let’s also talk a little bit
about a mentality so if you know you’ve
got to go out make seven eight nine
birdies like a lot of the FI are how
does that affect what you think about
yeah the mentality is important I think
like you have to match it right because
you can’t just get too aggressive you
can’t just fire at everything and you
know cuz it’ll you’ll you’ll undo pretty
quick like obviously you shoot one over
yesterday you’re probably not in the
best form of your life so you can’t be
firing at pins that you probably
wouldn’t be firing at if you were
leading the tournament so you have to
get it right you have to make sure you
pick your spots to be aggressive um but
I think it’s the mindset of you know
when you get to four five under it’s not
about protecting that score anymore you
want to keep going further and fur on
par which I think every guy on on the
Range here will tell you they try and do
but whether they subconsciously do it
that can be another thing now Dom as a
party I’ve got to get his name right
mentioned that you had some drills here
so can you tell everyone about those at
home and then also there’s 5 foot circle
around the hole you’re going to give
away all your secrets in yeah I know um
yeah so this is well you’ve actually
come to our pting station this morning
still left here so um yeah we have a we
have a mat with an arc so a 12 Dee Arc
that we just um run the poter through So
that obviously means that that makes
sure that the poter is sort of on plane
so I’m never never poting into out out
anything like that so you can you can
trust that once you leave this station
the fundamentals are good you just need
to you need to take it out here and just
hit Parts you know start them on lines
everything like that and then yeah this
is my this is my 5 foot drill it’s been
kind of put on social media at various
times but we’ve got I think it’s 12
spots around the hole so basically a
clock face um and you obviously got to
get the whole way around making every
single pot now you’re allowed to miss
one and that ball stays on that te and
you keep going you get around here you
hold the straight uphill pot again then
you have to hold the one that you missed
wow to finish the drill so I do that
before every round as much of a it’s
good for the Reps and um you know to
feel like you’re obviously getting a bit
more out there and hitting some parts
versus just doing mechanical work it’s
also really good for my green raing so I
can kind of reference these points when
I get to a five-footer out in the course
to go okay well you know this is the
straight line so if I’ve got this part
here I know it’s going to be reasonably
close to the straight line it’s probably
going to be pretty straight versus if I
get over this to this part this couldn’t
be further away from the straight line
and I know whatever slope the ball the
hole is on it’s going to do the most
breaking you know in in this entire
circle from this point here so that’s
that’s sort of the purpose of that drill
from um you know before around I do it
all my practice days we stretch it to
six in my off we six feet in my off we
to practice there so
um yeah that’s kind of that’s all my
secrets for and a little Betty told me
you hold all 12 this morning yeah we’ve
struggled big time with it yesterday and
had to sort of had to go all right we’ll
have a couple of goes at this one and a
couple goes at that one to get through
it but yeah today we made uh we made
them all so that was obviously a good
start to the day and probably gave me
some confidence that the work we’ just
done um you know had been reinforced
nicely Lucas you’re a legend so everyone
at home get your fundamentals right here
then get into your performance Zone
exactly and you could have eight birdies
like you well yeah when when you a shy
easy you gonna do a shoy today oh I’m
avoiding it at all cost but hopefully I
don’t get put in a situation where I
have to well if rip a GC win tomorrow
I’ll do one with you deal thank you so
much Lucas play well tomorrow thank
you great job Rachel uh man Rachel
always does a great job doesn’t she
Jarry yes she does I thought I thought
shoes were mandatory for all of us on
the crew tomorrow after the show I was
just impressed by the matching matching
outfits Jerry yeah it’s very good how
about Lucas who also had an incredible
day today he did eight shots better than
round one that’s pretty incredible and
something what happened to him yesterday
is something that can happen very easily
around here you feel like you have to
shoot a really low number because so
many players are making birdies but so
many players are on top of their game
and if you’re just a little bit off
around the grain that Ball’s going to
run away from the hole run away from the
green missing Fairways by just a little
bit you’re not making doubles and
triples like we saw back at at uh Dural
because of all the water hazards and all
the different penalty areas but here
you’re not not going to be able to make
the birdies you’re going to struggle to
make par so I think uh what he did today
was he got off to a much better start
got the confidence going a little bit
and like he just told Rachel he kept the
pedal to the metal and wanted to
continue to keep going deeper and deeper
and deeper and it sounds instinctive to
a professional golfer to always want to
shoot the best score you can but there’s
this thing called a comfort zone and you
get to a certain level and then you
don’t want to screw up a really good
round he uh he’s able to ditch the
comfort zone to the side because of the
course because of the leaderboard
because of the energy from the fans and
put together a really really great round
to golf well we’ve got some long putts
from the day Jerry I would love to hear
from you how how we can uh take a look
at some of the uh big ones from today
how important is it to read the greens
from today look at this you just doing
it I mean it takes creativity and and
childlike uh childlike imagination that
was DJ wasn’t it yeah DJ at the at the
watering hole in number 12 here you got
and janichu OK Kazuma started off so
nicely with the putter even the ones
that didn’t go in were perfect speed and
we thought he was going to fill it up
from everywhere he almost made one from
off the green just after that putt
here’s
another look at that that was R
yeah there’s Hatton from the 11
fold so what’s the key of hauling putts
speed speed speed is always the key
especially when you get greens that are
rolling right near by the end of the day
right about 13 could be almost a foot
faster tomorrow um it’s all about uh
speed and when they’re this fast you
have to give yourself the maximum uh
borrow if you will you have to play the
highest possible break so that you’re
not charging them three and four feet by
and really taxing yourself mentally on
those comebackers time after time you
leave enough of them you’re going to
miss a few and Jerry look at the fans
right now getting ready for DJ Fisher we
saw those clips last year of Cam Smith
doing a shoey live on stage in front of
everybody J you going over there or uh
you know what I’m going to leave that to
the younger to the kids but I I can
promise you that Lucas Herbert doesn’t
have a chance in the world of avoiding
doing a shoy tonight and just think if
if if by chance rippers come through
tomorrow and win this thing there’s
going to be a lot of people in Adelaide
who call in sick on
Monday that I definitely agree with you
can bet
uh David farity has seen his share of
weird things uh during his decades in
and around the game but the watering
hole here at the Grange actually made
him say
WTF one of the things I like to do early
in the week before any event is to
stride the links in a masculine fashion
getting the lay of the land so to speak
you know the quiet before the storm and
on this the 12th green we hope that a
massive one is
[Applause]
coming all par 3es are great because
they hold the possibility of golf’s Holy
Grail the whole in one it’s happened to
me 11 times although I don’t remember
nine of them but here on live it’s
happened to Matthew wolf Lori caner
wacko Neiman cie samoya and Richard
Bland and the reactions are part
surprise and part Joy
but when it happens on this elevated
green well it’s a party Chase ke at 12
oh a Chase ker has delivered live came
to Adelaide because of the promise of
passionate fans and boy did this place
deliver turning a golf course into a
festival and one golf hole into a disco
so here’s to seeing shirtless fat guys
waving their clothes in celebration
shoes turning into beer mugs and one of
Liv’s finest hammering his t-shot to the
bottom of the hole on that first swing
land demonium was great but we’re hoping
to leave Adelaide with something just a
little more
exciting a brilliant feature by David
fared at WTF and uh a lot of shoes I
don’t know how he did that without
falling over first and foremost Jerry
but uh that’s not his shoe no that we
saw a bunch of people including DJ
Fisher doing shoes out of that very same
shoe maybe you know maybe they
manufacture shoey mugs and that’s
actually like plastic or glass inside
we’re just going to tell ourselves that
to uh be able to deal with this here but
I love it I absolutely love it and you
promised so oh I’m happy to do a shoy
matter of fact bring them on you don’t
want to do a shoy in a high top though
because it’s just too much
beer all right David far was talking
about that watering hole with the holes
in one we had so many moment
from The Watering Hole here are the best
shots Jerry take a look there’s the wave
that’s PTZ doing it before the first
shot was even struck that’s how R they
were already he was the first group out
there oh yeah then
hv3 and there’s a crowd there’s
a he takes a little bow at the end of
this as
well what a classy guy there love that
mhm how was your time with him on the uh
oh the podcast yeah he’s he’s the most
authentic person and he’s just authentic
and this is DJ bringing the crowd to
their feet this was a little early they
weren’t wasting beers yet by throwing
them onto the green but they wanted to
at that point and DJ that little subtle
fist pump that’s the same as to him
that’s him jumping over the moon because
he is so understated out there for sure
gets the foul going look at that one
bubba doing his thing walking with swag
afterwards like no big deal Pat Perez
after last year bringing the crowd of
their feet and making it rain with the
beer
shower with a long putt yeah he just
sticks it right there close and I
thought that one I thought we’d see a
few like that they would spin back and
have a chance to go in but the green was
just not quite soft enough and there
goes
Lucas looks
good and there’s the crowd oh yeah I
love this crowd so much Jerry W it’s
hard not to the energy out there so I
mean I stepped out of our booth for a
moment and because you know when you’re
on through TV the authentic sounds get a
little bit muffled somehow uh it was it
was just roar after Roar after Roar all
over the golf course and there’s there’s
Lucas again with that put and there’s
the beer baby that was his last ho they
were the last group and he and if you
saw his cadd he was trying to actually
get a few
drops now are we going to get a hold of
one tomorrow it was supposed to happen
today I I wasn’t going to call you out
suppos to happen today yeah I don’t know
tomorrow’s whole location is really
difficult but the one where Chase kepka
made it last year was also a very
difficult uh whole location for a hole
in one so you never know these guys are
good and the weather’s going to be
perfect now we did get some hole outs on
The Fairway yesterday yes how about we
take a look back at those right now
Jerry I’m having fun with you come on
all
right there’s Sebastian uh mun
there I believe look at that I
mean I feel good you know they they have
their name on their bags for a reason
they are highly trained professional
it’s his teammate Meo Pereira on number
16 yesterday spinning it back exactly
the same way and as the one poor kid
said in his audition to be on the
network or on the local sports channel
boom goes to Dynamite there you go
yes and there’s a slam dunk from Abraham
answer three-pointer swap W I love this
celebration that was a walk up that was
his last golf shot of the day you don’t
see that very often all right now Jerry
the team situation is so close we got to
talk a little bit about the teams
tourque I mean just holding it to the
top after day two can we talk about this
team a little bit they are on fire they
are right up at the top of the tables as
well in the team standings and their
worst finish this year is a tie for
fifth it actually went down as a sixth
but they their worst finishes a tie for
fifth it uh they haven’t won yet and
they what are they second or third in in
the on the team tables so they third
currently let’s take a look at some of
their highlights team tqu baby here we
go there’s nean on six and you know what
really stands them in good stead
tomorrow and you could say the same
about a number of other teams but they
don’t have a weak link heading into
heading into the final round They’re all
playing well right now there’s that
eagle and 13 W
[Applause]
nean Jerry would you ever wear those
pants
uh not in
public I wouldn’t wear the ones you’re
wearing either Pera second on 18 I
believe and look at that 4 G GC my
goodness yeah they’re dialed in they but
they have some uh pursuers and some un
unlikely pursuers as well that was Muno
finishing it off there might might be an
impossible question to answer they’re
currently at three what would it take
for Tor G to get to the top of that
leaderboard well I mean they’re they’re
right now they’re at the top of the
leaderboard leading iron H by one but
you mean for the team table yes correct
they are going to be right there coming
the end of the year they’ll be within
Striking Distance at the last uh the
last regular season event before the
team championships which I understand is
going to be up in Illinois and as they
lead this leaderboard going into our
final day can they hang on of this team
Tor yeah of course but look at you got
iron heads and High Flyers their best
finish for the year they’re best
finished they tied for sixth in Jetta
tqu hasn’t finished worse than fifth
that’s that’s heady company but you know
Phil likes to travel nicely if High
Flyers get their first ever victory that
little uh plane ride to Singapore is
going to be absolutely legendary he only
does things one way and that’s first
class Jerry we asked Greg earlier would
we see our first ever team playoff now
I’m asking you yes you think this is a
possible time to see that happen here in
adal guaranteed it many times and it
hasn’t happened and statistically we are
so far overdue so there’s just to in in
hopes of having one because it would be
the perfect place to do it I’m going to
say no chance absolutely no chance okay
fair enough no chance for hole in one no
chance for a team
playoff all right Jerry in conclusion
before we got out of here you know what
I’m going to ask you do you want to ask
it you know what I’m going to ask you no
what are you going to ask me predictions
predictions for Championship Sunday baby
my guy my my my expert picked this week
Richard Bland he played solid today he’s
under he’s six back he’s within Striking
Distance he has a lot of great players
to pass I don’t know if that’s possible
but I just have this feeling about him
all week long I just H but honestly I
think when all said and done the energy
of this crowd is going to propel one of
the Rippers to the top of the podium and
likely the team as well and I would
absolutely love to see it uh Ripper GC
good luck for them tomorrow thank you
Jerry thank you guys for watching Club
54 post round show I’m your host
Christian Crosby and we will see you in
the pre-round show tomorrow thanks for
watching and goodbye peace
