our post round show wouldn’t be complete without the one and only very talented Rachel Drummond Rachel tossing over to you what’s going on I mean I can’t believe I’ve got this I’ve got the best bunker player on live cam Smith and if Cam didn’t come and do it I was going to have to do it so thank you so much no worries now you birdied this hole today but we’ve got 55 yards it’s what we saw with Bryson last week it’s an extremely difficult shot it is there anything you want to say about Bryson’s shot in the US in that sit situation um I mean it was insane how good the shot was it was probably not as hard as this one I would say I know but um it was still in an insanely good shot and uh that pin there was on such a slope that you know if he had have had a six-footer coming back down the hill um the chances of him missing that put are so great which made that uh made the bunker shot so great so um yeah it was Unreal to do that under those circumstances now I think cam is being very honest here we’ve got a bunker short we’ve got water long so it’s is very difficult one of the players Kevin Nar we’re going to have a little look at a shot he played today cam have a little look at this he was actually just in front of us he was demonstrating how tricky it was and he literally left it short of the green so now you are going to show us how to do it okay so technically you know what are you looking for when you set up to this shot what club have you got um I’ve got a gap wedge here at the moment so 52 um this is kind of a bit of an awkward length for for myself I think I would probably go 56 just because there’s water long um so you can see why Kevin left that short obviously we we’re out here playing a bunch of holes this week and um one silly mistake can get you at a tournament like that especially on the first day so let’s have a little look for me I mean I don’t really change much um that I do around around the uh like a bunker shot so um I I still get in there still get my hands quite low and then also um opening up the club face a fair bit as well um this shot is all about strike let’s say you hit one while I talk this is all about strike so how do you get you know your setup to help control the strike um oh jeez just’s probably years of doing it yeah Canam that is ridiculous right go on keep hitting I want to keep seeing these yeah and and I think also because it is such a long shot you are going to have a fair bit of drift on the ball so it’s um so this one here I’m probably aiming close to the left side of the green and that one drifted still 15t right of the pin so there’s yeah there’s still a fair bit of luck that has to go your way with this so you’re opening up your stance and you’re allowing the club to be come a little bit more outside the line for this shot yeah pretty much it I mean it’s it’s it’s really just a a longer version of a green side bunard I think if I was trying to hit something high and soft out of a greenside bunker my setup probably doesn’t look too much different to this so okay um just with more just with more Club literally yeah so that’s a great tip for everyone at home you’re literally just changing the club same technique and B position very similar to Green side yeah probably just to touch touch further back I we’re not really trying to land this one kind of high and soft so just a touch further back um probably take a tiny bit less sand but that is just through ball position it’s not through me trying to take less sand it that make sense so go on let’s see you made it sound so simple for such a hard bunker shot so we’re going open stance more Club [Music] that’s the one cam spin back cam thank you so much I owe you a beer or a shoy or something cuz I did not want to play this um 200 under today good luck in the rest of the tournament thank you appreciate it thanks
