[Music] we just wrapped a week full of beautiful sights and amazing golf in Singapore right here at the stunning santosa Golf Club Championship Sunday has come to a close as we celebrate our 2024 Singapore Champs Brooks kka is our individual champion and Ripper GC takes the backto back Team Championship win and we’re here to cover it all and more welcome to Club 54 postr show we have a lot to talk about today welcome to the show I’m your host Christian Crosby and joining me is suan hang and Don bule your favorite live golf league analyst what favorites a strong word CHR you are the favorite come on welcome to the show so much to talk about a huge win for Brooks Keva uh getting the individual Championship you had a chance to uh follow D and Su D take us through this incredible well I had the honor of following Brooks kka who is now back to his very best I mean he was imperious out there his ball striking was magnificent as David and Jerry said in the Box you know he he loves the responsibility of being in the lead and having that and also he just manages his game so well he hits very he makes aggressive swings to conservative targets he manages his game he does not go for every p in fact he doesn’t go for that many pins that’s how you win major championships well Dom you know the first two days I got to watch him and I think one of the biggest things that he managed to do was convert his Fairways hit into birdies did he do that today yeah yes he did well he hit a lot of Fairways but he didn’t make that many birdies but he played conservatively today he made you know the birdies where he needed to on the fourth hole uh he didn’t Birdie the seventh but he made a lovely Birdie on the 10th and it was just and I asked him on the green that was a very important because he had just threed the ninth hole you guys can actually hear this celebration which is right behind us fans are excited I got a great idea how about we take a look at some Brook kka highlights y’all ready let’s do it baby yeah good two great shots into the green the par five left his first part long way it was a great quick first but great great P well this is the club that’s made a big difference for him all week this week he talk about his confidence he put in this new putter this season it’s working really well for him it’s coming together really nicely that bird he told me was very important because he just three puted the ninth and here on 15 he’d left a couple of irons short on the holes where the pins were front he made sure he was all right on that one oh he’s got to be feeling so confident going into the PGA he has to be he has to be he’s defending Champion he’s defended a major championship twice before in his career it could very easily be three times and that’s a lovely scene there with his family love to see that big smile from Brooks there by the way remember what he did in Orlando when he won in Orlando what did he do the next following week came second in the Masters he had a lead going into the final round didn’t he but he then won the pjj yeah he did he learned a lot from that Masters he said he learned that he’s got to be aggressive here’s some social Brooks kka is in form baby Singapore uh putter is dialed game is there scary sight for others with a major championship around the corner talk about good timing right and uh here’s another one come on brooki I first thought that said Broski I guess both could apply right finish finish this out yeah Scotty Scotty Sheffer that is the world number one uh you better be ready someone’s found their a g I think it’s I think that’s Adam scull and there’s the I love that and there’s the uh celebration with the uh CO2 to add that uh dramatic effect got to love that another gentleman I wanted to talk to you guys about who had a phenomenal day especially the back nine cam Smith um would love for you guys to take us through his day today well I mean he’s really just trending in the right direction I got to talk to him post round and I said how confident are you going into the PGA Championship and he goes I’m pretty confident I mean he’s played some fantastic golf in the last couple of weeks we’ve certainly seen that driver to H for for cim it’s a driving because we know he can putt we know he can chip once he finds that Fairway is dangerous no kidding you know I mean every player out here recognizes I was talking to Brooks and his caddy Ricky Elliott he says cam Smith makes every P if he finds Fairways his eyes are pretty solid he’s going to be dangerous at every major championship because he’s a major championship type player yeah let’s take a look at some cam Smith highlights here suan Dom take us through it here we go all right let’s kick it up with the fourth this was his third shot oh yeah I mean he’s such a magician around the greens isn’t he he’s got just that touch how many birdies did he make of of this she this list goes on doesn’t it well the sixth hole that’s uh the pin was today on the far left and you know not an easy pin but uh what a fabulous iron shot there that’s what we were saying every time he puts himself on The Fairway he’s just going to be so dangerous especially with a wedge in his hand well it looked like a pretty aggressive play off the T on 10 for Cam and when he starts looking up and down like that wow well that released a lot from the Fairway well you know when you when you hit when you see indications of Cam taking such aggressive lines off the te you can certainly in it’s an indication of how confident he is over the t-shots he’s so good out of Fairway bunkers especially with his hybrid and his threewood and also with his IR what a marvelous shot that was now second shot on 13th this this was one of the hardest holes on the golf course the average second shot was 205 y yesterday lipped out this is not an easy hole but he certainly made it look easy all right tell me this goes in it has to right come on it’s SMI there’s a shot uh let I just want to ask you guys a little bit um do you think Brooks should be worried about cam Smith at all or or was he worried about him today well I think Brooks is not the kind of player that really thinks about those things I think he’s very much like in his own Zone he controls what he can control he’s very much a routine player isn’t he yeah he definitely is he’s got a process but Brooks kep stands in major championships he’s only competing against 25 30 guys but one of those guys is Cam Smith yeah so he will one best short games yeah let’s take a look at the individual leader board and uh take us through it guys let’s do this here we go the individual leaderboard as we conclude Championship Sunday obviously Brooks kepka getting that win with 15 under par take us through this but look at cam Smith and Mark Lehman both tied second I mean the Ripper boys are certainly finding some kind of momentum at Taylor G as well I’m sure he’s going to be a pretty disappointed today didn’t have his best golf uh coming and forth not defending his title here and Adelaide ter h Terell Hatton you know what Terell Hatton he’s an anony for me I mean it’s just he seems to hit his drivers sort of offline quite a lot but every week he’s in the top 10 he’s a great player he’s another guy to watch out for the PGA Championship at Valhalla in shocking news John Ramen is top 10 oh is he he is only just and Walkie nean I mean those are the two names you’re so used to seeing in the top 10 of this leaderboard I mean they’re playing some phenomenal golf in 2020 for I’ll tell you a funny story Brooks was walking down with me on 18th Fairway he goes Dom he goes what am I leading by I said you’re leading by two I said at uh leash finished at 14 under he goes but I’m at 15 I said I know you’re leading by two he says double check for me please and I talked to our producer and I said yeah Brooks you’re leading by two I love it uh now before you go suan you never told us you were a violinist what what’s going on we actually we caught you uh today uh as you were waiting to get on camera this is half time today as you were waiting to go online she’s not very who idea was that whose idea was that you’re going to have to buy me a beer whoever’s idea was that is going to have to buy me a beer but that was the opening of our you know halftime show and it’s just an iconic song so you know I was just trying to just you know feel the heat nice nice to see you’re very relaxed you don’t have to hide those talents from us

compete make sure you guys check out those live lessons on the live Golf Plus app I’m definitely uh uh going to get in the gym after watching that gotta love to see those guys in the gym makes one of us well we have uh Jerry fultz here beside me in Club 54 post round show and we got a lot to talk about we do indeed yes it is a great day and beautiful weather and joined by Jerry fultz uh we got to get into some Ripper GC talk which un un like unbelievable back unbeliev I was going to say unbel I wasn’t going to say but then I said it anyway cuz I’m excited now this is one of the teams you predicted we could see on that today and here we are talking about it right now Jerry smash is the one I thought was going to make it I honestly felt beginning of the week tqu would come in here with a good chance but Ripper riding the hot hand riding the emotion of that incredible win in Adelaide they got it done second time a team was won back toback this year Crushers did it earlier in the year and Tor K did it last year the all-time record four in a row that was four aces year one and Ripper will chase that when we get to Houston shall we get into some Ripper GC highlights Jer let’s do it baby here’s Ripper GC and there incredible time here in Singapore in the championship Sunday take us through it Jerry and lean who led the field in putting through two rounds I’d be shocked if he wasn’t leading at the end of the day as well he got it done also with the ball striking those towering iron shots he hits just the precise distance almost every time and rolls in the putts but here is the club that got it done for him I mean it’s Captain is that guy Cameron Smith leash had the better putter this week that’s unusual worst putter on their team ranked 15th this week in Matt Jones and he still helped get it done today as well big tall Australian leash is second to the 12th look at that nearly jars it not the easiest hole on the course either Matt Jones for birdie not an easy putt very slippery down the hill and a little body body Australian gets it in there C Smith yeah one of our announcers predicted he should be trying to make this and he did look at that that was you right I don’t I can’t remember that’s a long time ago and Le with this gorgeous one at the time making he’ still had a couple holes left after this but making a run at the individual title with an incredible bounce right there got to love that uh how impressive is this back-to-back win from Ripper GC Jerry it’s great I mean again they’re they’re a group of guys who believe in themselves and they believe in each other and when the confidence as high as it was this week and obviously riding the emotional high off off the win and the unlikely uh playoff last week when it looked like they were eliminated before they managed to make two clutch putts in the first playoff hole to continue on as leash and cam did uh yeah I mean you can’t say there’s no stop at him there’s way too much talent in this league but they’re going to be a formidable uh Team to contend with the rest of the season well lean had a very scary last hole take me through that Jerry uh that happened today I want here is a clip of it we got for you just butchered this shot right here but he was he was trying to stay aggressive he’s still trying win individually and ensure the Ripper wi he tried hitting a punch shot off a hook Li and tried to get it to cut as well every time you do that as Fair he said the club face is open it’s always going to take off right where you thought and he was lucky to get away from there with just a bogey and this right here cemented hit there it is at the time you had Fireballs pursuing three Fireballs yet to finish and they all were playing par fives which as you know are the easiest holes on the course so that one cemented at once a banter didn’t birdie a for the Fireballs that got it done for Ripper what you say leean is in the best form of his life currently I don’t know I’ve seen him play some really good golf I mean he lost in the playoff at the uh at the Open Championship at St Andrews to Zach Johnson uh I think G might have been in that playoff as well can’t remember but nonetheless this he’s a he’s always been a world class player and H one thing we do know about the Australians and the South Africans who didn’t win either of these two weeks they are world class celebrators oh look at that right there they’re doing it right uh for sure in this shot here now I know we have multiple teams who have won multiple Team Championships so far but is it safe to say Ripper GC is becoming the team to beat or are they now the team to be boy I don’t know Crushers are good they’re solid across the board Ripper they’re a fantastic team there’s not a bad player on the team not a bad player on any of the teams tqu brings that youth and exuberance uh right now not all of them are clicking on all cylinders but they’re always going to be a team to beat I’m still shocked by the Four Aces and they’re just having a lowly time makes me wonder if they might be looking for a transfer window move here which starts right now and ends the Sunday of Houston we never know rumors are out there um and then of course Legion 13 it’s either feast or famine with them and they feasted already twice this year well Jerry let’s take a look at the team leaderboard let take a look all right let’s take a look talk me through this Jerry our boys at the top Ripper GC uh super impressive here but what else do you see jar well Fireball made a late run that was awesome clicks getting I think what is this their second or third third ever Podium it was fantastic them they’ve become a legitimate Contender this year on the heels of signing Adrien Moran smash was a team I thought was going to win they had the lead most of the day at least most of the first nine of Play Let It Slip late because of the strong player Ripper and because of the holes they still had to complete Legion climbed the leaderboard at one point from I think eighth early in the day all the way up to within a shot of first ended up finishing Fifth and tqu a solid performance if un unspectacular on behalf of them led by Captain Walky nean still still the Four Aces down there in eth I can’t get used to seeing that captain of the High Flyers Phil mikkelson actually earned points this week Phil mikkelson won the PGA three years ago at the age of 50 which is unheard of oldest major champion in history who knows what he can do of Valhalla I know he hasn’t counted himself out and he still has all the strength all the power and all the shots he had when he was a young man all right well we’re going to get your final thoughts in just a second but first let’s toss it over to Rachel Drummond with a special guest on AR range Rachel what’s up who you got hey CeCe hey Jerry right managed to bag a player on the final day we’re very lucky to be joined by Ben Campbell thank you for joining us no trouble at all now you’re one of our reserves here and you’re a top International series player just quickly you’ve been drafted by team rippo who just won how good are they yeah no it’s great to see them go back to back and um yeah now the boys are playing well so hopefully they can keep it up now the winner Brooks kepka has been saying how good his proximity to the hle has been which is downed his distance control we’re going to have a quick look at some b-roll now out of players that have done really well okay so we got cam Smith first I mean you know this man better than most yeah no I think you know Cam’s especially around this golf course you it’s all you know all about the second shot and Cam’s always been amazing it sort of you know mid to short IRS and you know a shot like that you can see straight away and out yeah definitely matter at the moment Champion Brooks kepka yeah and you you saw it all week how how good he was hitting his irons and um and I think especially he he had a lot you know really well judged ons out of the rough as well which around here is very tricky and finally the man that we have to mute quite a lot yeah but I was talking about you know the the lies you get around here out of the rough they can be so tricky and and uh you know I think that’s where Brooks and that done so well and why he’s at the top of the leaderboard now we want to pick your brains when they talk about proximity to hold you have to be good with your distance control so how do you practice that then yeah I think you know if you can get down and use things like trackman and um and and you’ve you’ve all if you can know exactly how far your clubs are going then that helps so much as well so I think you know getting going somewhere where you can actually measure them whether it’s you know a rangefinder and that but knowing how far every Club goes and then you know obviously the B you get then obviously the um weather conditions can change that you know the ball here in singapo this week’s flying a little bit further than it was last week so I think you know that’s from for professional off going to week to week that’s what you have to judge you know elevation comes into it as well so I think the first key is knowing how far every Club goes and then adjusting during the week and how do you go through that process to get your numbers so you’ve got here at the tournament you’ve got your track man down you know how many shots do you hit what’s the process yeah I normally hit sort of two or three sometimes a few more but just you know when you’ve put a really good swing on it so just making sure that you’ve got three or four really good good swings and just keeping that consistent I see a couple he’s been ripping them the last five minutes so an is it something that you go through do you do different you know grip down the club do you do different lengths of swings how many numbers do you try and get um for me yeah I I’ve got I grew up in the winds playing a lot in the wind so I’ve got like a 3/4 shot that I play a lot so I’ll show you that now I um I know so A9 goes 144 M standard it would be I think it was going 147 this week here so I’ve got like a knockdown um 3/4 so how I play that is I I I just St slightly a little bit narrower than what I normally would be and then because I’ve just narrowed up my stance I sort of I can’t swing as hard at it and straight away that drops so yeah my three4 8 goes 130 normally 139 M so you know just by making sort of small adjustments like that in your setup you know everyone’s different I think you know some guys do a 3/4 swing some guys you know feel like they just swing a little bit softer and things like that so I think it’s just working out what you can do consistently um and there’s no right or wrong really so and what do you think has to be good technically to be able to have a repeatable distance I think you know like the basics you’ve got to obviously aim it really consistently ball position’s really important and then and then just getting that consistent strike so you’ll see you know Matt Jones he hits out of the bunkers a lot and just really works on that contact so that’s another good way if you’re struggling with distance controls actually go to a fairway bunker and practice hitting out there cuz you’ve got to be so precise to get that you know perfect and that is gold I like that one let’s see some more okay so yeah I’ll play how I play my little 3/4 I just slightly a little bit narrower than I normally would and then I just do my normal swing and how important is this for you and the players on live you to know your numbers for the strategy at courses yeah I think definitely around a course like this when it’s it’s it’s such like a second you’ve got to hit your second shots very very well um you know it gives you a bit of room off the tea and things like that um but you know I think every week’s slightly different and this I think this week you you have a lot more mid IRS to sort of to Shorter irons you know a lot of sort of six seven irons and things like that which you know out there on a lot of the weeks the guys are just hitting a lot of wedges so I think um definitely around sort of certain courses you know Adelaide last week you saw the Aussie always do well there again and you know when when you’re coming into the wind and things like that that’s where you know the guys who can control the flight control their distance um you end up you know missing it in the right places and when you’re doing that golf becomes a lot lot easier right I’ve got a tough question to finish with so a lot of my amateur might not get a consistent strike so they’ve got lots of different numbers what is your best tip you would give them to get a bit of consistency I yeah I think definitely seeing a coach yeah I think consistently yeah I think you know um if you if you really love your golf I I think it’d be good to you know try and get a couple of lessons every you know whether it be every month or or that but I just think you know practice the basics check your ball positions good you know if you if you got the ball too far forward then you know you it’s it’s hard to catch it perfectly same if you’ve got it too far back so I think you know just checking the basics would be my first first tip and good advice there just go see a coach yeah yeah thank you so much for your wisdom I know one of mine has actually take more Club cuz they’re always short aren’t they yeah and I think a lot of the time you know they think they’ve hit the seven on 160 m a couple of times so they keep thinking you know and they always end up coming up short so I think that’s a definitely a good good tip so coach hit more Club thank you so much Ben and good luck in the remainder of the international series we want to see you out here fulltime on on live perfect no thank you thank you great work as always Rachel uh how nice was it for Ben Campbell to give Rachel his time I know Rachel has already quickly earned the trust and the respect of all the players and she’s so likeable she’s such a natural at that but what a great young man you know he’s no stranger to world class competition he did hold off cam Smith I believe at the Hong Kong open last year to win that now he’s competing on the international series trying to use that as his Avenue to a full-time position within the live golf league we’ll take a look at those standings right now it’s being led by one of our own members Carlos Ortiz John Catlin hot hand two wins one win on the international series but two wins on the uh Asian tour but Carlos Ortiz leading the way so many of our guys are on that money list because number one they’re great players number two they’ve played very few events where the other guys don’t have a chance to get past him Ben Campbell 11th and remember as you know number one on that order of Merit they are automatically promoted to live golf league 2025 as Andy ogry was last year now a little sidebar if one of our current players doesn’t need that that uh automatic promotion and wins the international series that spot is opened up it’s not to the next guy it goes to likely another free agent signing uh which would be the most likely scenario well Jerry I want you to give me your final thoughts uh and earlier we talked to suan and D about Brooks kep I would love to hear your take on his day you know Brooks will probably go into the PJ as a second favorite as suan said you cannot deny the form of Scotty sheffler and his dominance on the PGA tour but Brooks has gone into Majors before and found his form he went into Augusta didn’t have his form wasn’t able to find it there feel like felt like he’ let his team down a little and has put in an inordinate amount of work to try and get it into position where he has his form going into the PGA he has it it would almost be more surprising it would certainly be more surprising if he wasn’t in the contending groups on Sunday at Valhalla than it would be if he’s leading by 10 it would be more surprising if he wasn’t in contention than anything else with his track record in major championships and he’s gone back to back in Majors twice well what a great time we’ve had here Jerry I had a blast with you as always always a pleasure next stop is Houston we’re signing out right now from Liv golf Singapore at by far one of the most beautiful courses at Sosa Golf Club Jerry you were great Championship Sunday has come to an end this is Club 54 post round show and I’ll see you guys in Houston yeah Jerry yeah give me a give me a peace give me give me a pece peace how do we do that a [Music]
