Today I’m going to see if I can beat a tall pro with a fivestroke advantage. And here’s our tall pro, recent winner, Marco Penge. Let’s go, buddy. Let’s go. Ow. Perfect. That driver’s gone 359 y. You know, you may have just won a DP World Pour event, but can you can you do it in the the biggest of pressures [Music] YouTube landed the T’s too far in? Oh. Oh, he’s lipped out. That is so good. Lovely wedgie. Great drive. Good putt. We’re in trouble. [Music] everywhere and I don’t normally do that around here. Is that cuz you’re fearing how good I am? Maybe. Yeah, I’m taking it on. Okay, T flip. Who goes first? Yeah, it’s you. Me? Great. Follow 320 yards straight. Trying to put the pressure on, isn’t it? Yeah. Me? Yeah. Right. Right. Play well. I’ve got the five shot handicap. Over nine holes. Over nine holes. Yeah. Thought you were a pro. Well, yeah, but you’re a pro winner. Okay. I’m a pro loser. Okay. We’ll uh we’ll do that. Tastes better than me. Fiber. We’ll do it. It’s getting goated here on the first TE. Right. So, the first TE here at um Cleo, it’s a 466 yard par five. Normally, what would you normally hit down here? Like two iron. Yeah, two iron. Whereas today, I’m You’re just letting me have it. Well, I’ve given five shots, so I need to. Yeah, I cut off the OB. You’ve been hitting balls all morning. I’ve been stood doing nothing. I’ve just had a nice chicken sandwich. Oh, perfect. That one. Follow that one. He said, “Um, what shot are you hitting down here?” Um, my main focus for this T-shot is to make contact. Okay. I’m going to hit a cut a similar line not probably 10 yards right of where you went. The little trees here. Perfect. I’m going to try and cut it down there. Then leave myself like a four iron in. John Ram fade. John Ram fade. First swing of the day. Come on. got the fade. I just started it too straight. Hang in. It’s all right. Into the trees. Right. It’s going to be a long old game. Going to be a long old game. I think it’ll be about 95. Right. Yeah. Mine pitched into the trees though. Yours is hit the down slope. Don’t really say that. Only 100 to go. I’ve got no shot. I’m going to chip out. My plan for today though, I’m five ahead already. You’re just going to hang in there? I’m not hanging there, Marco. I’m going to grind you down. Okay. You You will have never seen bogeies like it. You’ve got to shoot three under over nine to beat me. Okay. I’m going to chip out down to shy of marker then knock up close. And then we’re okay. Yeah. Little eight iron. Bend me shaft early on. Nice. Yeah. Still 60 behind him. Still 60 behind. I’ve only got 130. 130. Yeah. Third shot. So you’re going to have like 110. Mhm. God, I’m already up against it. Where’s the wind? Not much really, is it? Yeah, it’s like hearing it a little bit. Bit swirly. Yeah. Right. I’m going per p per wedge. Just a little cut off the uh that thin tree behind it. Nice that. Oh, it’s more into Yeah, it’s just a little swell there. Yeah. Oh, well, we’ve nearly found the green in three. Marco’s quaking in his boots right now. He does not know the fury that is about to be unleashed on him. How far? 107. 107. Yeah. Right. That driver’s gone 359 y little into wind playing 115. He’s had the advantage of seeing me hit as well now. Oh, split. Oh, just a little on the edge. Little hop. Yeah, not bad. Little hop. Pressure’s on now. I’ll roll in mine. Marco threewack. Right, I’ve come up just shy. Just wanted to make sure I try and make bogey on the world’s shortest par five. Greens look good. Roll this up. Tap it in. Good. Five. Softly. Softly. Softly. Nice. We’re safe. We’re safe. We’re okay. What’s this uh freewood plane here? It’s got a little bit of semi rough to go through. So, just pop it and let it run out. Yeah, just pretend I’ve got putter in the hand in my hand and just pretend sort of kind of imagining I’m on the green with a putter like it. bobbled a bit, didn’t it? M. It’s the pressure though, Marco. You know, when you come I didn’t even bring my potter cuz I was thought I should be all right. Do you want me to finish off while you’re Don’t get it. These tors don’t get it. I’ll just knock in while he’s messing around. That was authorative. Nice five. Five under. Five under. Was never in doubt, was it? Nice four. Good four. Right, he’s got one back on me. Four. The rot’s already started. Oh dear. I’ve not made a mistake, though, so that’s what I’ve just not got to do. You made a nice five there to be fair. It’s just what us players do. Second hole here is a par four. It is 370 yards today. It’s a downhill slight dog leg left to right. The green when they get the greens rapid here. They are tricky. This one falls from like left to right. It’s a uh it’s a good old hole this one. Hang on. Left semi. Seen a couple of bounces. Should be just in the left semi. That is such a powerful fly at that. Lovely. That I’ll teach you that one, Marco. That was pure, wasn’t it? [Applause] That was unreal. Must be scared. Must be scared. It’s that little sting of faith. Yeah, I do like I like that shot. Tag it down and easy. 59 from me from here. 59. Yeah. Right. Let’s head over to to my ball center fairway. Marco struggling in the rough. It’s what happens to these tour pros. They they come on. You know, you may have just won a DP World Tour event, but can you can you do it in the the biggest of pressures, YouTube? Right. This green here, normally they host open qualifying here or used to. It’s very tilting. They get the greens to like 11 on the stimp and they don’t half zip. But hey, if I can just hit a little 58 or 9:00 swing, it’ll be try and get it zipping in quick. If I can get one back here. Get in. Forgot to take off for the downhill. Forgot that bit. Actually hit it pretty nice. Just missed the green with a wedge pitch. Played it pretty well. It just released. Yeah, I forgot the downhill calculation. Yeah, it’s got um pretty good lie. It’s like a McKenzie green. Kind of runs from front to back. I’m just going to try and land it literally a yard on the green. It’s a slight soft bounce and then just let it release down the green. It landed the touch too far. Oh. Oh, he’s lipped out. Marco, you’re quite good at this game, aren’t you? I weren’t bad to be fair. Happy with that. I did land it a touch too far, bro. Yeah, I thought that. Not complaining. Just didn’t work out the uh downhillness, you know. Exactly. It gets It gets the best of us all. Just like yourself. [Music] Good line. Had the line, Marco. Yeah. Is this one of your shot holes? [Applause] The cheek. My scorecard’s set at five under, so it’s already happened. Right. Okay. It’s just whether the counter starts going the other way back towards level. You just worry about your game, okay? You know, lucky to be in bounds. Fluky pitch. Here’s me. Just dead unlucky hitting him. It can have that. Cheers, mate. Let you off the hook. You did. I was getting worried then. [Music] Solid two falls. You decide whose was better. So, we got a dog leg left to right. Quite extreme dog leg. Um, this is actually a really tough really tough par 4. I would say we’re at Yeah. 456 yds. Just going to start on the edge of the tree line and move it about 30. Um, wind slightly into. So, there is a brook in the fairway, isn’t there, that Yeah, about even think about. I can fly it straight over it. Where’s Matt? Matt’s going to have to play like a par five. Thank god he’s got five shots. Okay. That is so good. Right. I said to you, I’m going full full out today. In the past, I’ve just given you like just giving you just ultra respect. Yeah, that was so good that shot. Come on, mate. Little cut off that or big slice off that thingy. I’ll probably just hold back just to get over the water. Okay. Pretty good. Is that good? Yeah. Yeah. I think it looked like I saw I think I saw it bounce on the way near the dip maybe. It’s great swing. It was a good strike. So lovely full flight, wasn’t it? Yeah. Had a lesson with some bloke earlier who told us about different flights and stuff and how to hit them. Just two big gone after you. Two big lads walking across here. Covering that ditch at 270. Were you getting nervous at any point when it was in the air? When yours was in the air. I was a little when yours was in the air. Two good good drives. That his is fairway. Mine’s rough. Only what 25 between Marco. Yeah, but yours is A1. Maybe yours landed on that bridge. To be fair, it could have. I got to stop giving you giving you that now. The cheek now of these kids nowadays. We’re in a tour event and all of a sudden, right, I reckon I’m going to be about one 140 pin. Maybe 140 pin. Would you go at this from where I am like or are you just aiming like see that white sort of No, I just want to aim like three right of it. 145 downhill maybe three or four. Just aim slightly potentially. 145 pitch at 135 slightly into wind. I’m giving you a 10 yard flyer, mate on that, you reckon? Yeah. I hit a 130 shot. Okay. That means it’s my P wedge. I think that’s the biggest skill of a tour player. Going from week to week, playing from different lies. Yeah. Like you can all hit it, but reading the lies, especially chipping. Reading the lies. Speed of green. Yeah. So underrated that. Different temperatures, different time zones. Right. Come on. Pitching wedge, heart of the green. Just watch Marco crumble strike mat. I literally hit one pine cone and I caught it the tiniest bit thin. I would say you could have a malagon, but you got five shots. That was the one thing that couldn’t happen. Like the driver was the hardest bit of that hole and I’ve just thinned a wedge into a tree. Quality player on 120. Would when you were stood near my ball then was that pine tree ever part of you thinking? Not really. But I mean it doesn’t have to be that far off to have did it to be fair. Yeah, just a little clean and Yeah, it was that it was clean. Yeah, I would expect there’s maybe a a dash in the golf ball from the leading edge and also from the several trees it bounced off. Right, I got 120. Little bit downhill. Winds out the left. Probably playing about 117. Needs to land four short of it. 113 shot. This is one thing that the pros do so well like the calculations. I’m having to grip down this. So much has gone into it. I just the fly pole hooking it. That’s a golf shot. Wow. Yeah. Big bounce, wasn’t it? I’ll meet you down there, Matt. Yeah. See that? That was That was depressingly good. That one. Depressingly good. Let’s get into it. 74 rips to that one. Half of what I had before. Half of what we had before. What’s the lie like? Oh, this is This is panic stations. Golf ball’s very yellow. Yellow. Yeah. From the conifer. Right. 58. I’m going to go at Marco’s ball. take my medicine. Landing this on. Yeah. Yeah. I’m so I’m obviously you can see how well I’m striking it. So fizz it. I’m going to fat it short. Come on. Not easy that lie. No, it was a little bit dusty. It was also a terrible swing. But shh, no one needs to know. I’m a bit nervous over that one, not going to lie. Right. It’s okay. It’s okay. There’s a four stroke buffer at the minute. There’s a four stroke buffer. Just roll this up quick. Good pace. I actually thought I was going to swing loads. Yeah. Lovely speed. was just sort of jumping here there everywhere. But quality five off that drive. It’s okay though. It’s okay. What we don’t need to happen is Marco to hole it cuz that would make the buffer too. I need to be about six holes in with this many left to have a chance. Yeah, good. Good three, mate. Thank you, mate. Lovely wedgie. Great drive. Good putt. We’re in trouble. We are in trouble. Early doors here, folks. It’s going to be It’s going to be a battle. Luckily, I can knock it on the next, though. Never been to play, but I’m doing it. Swampy tongue. So quick. What? We two 293 is a big dog leg left to right. Is it? The green’s essentially like here, isn’t it? Over that bench almost. Yeah. I’m going to go for a big sliced two eye. Sliced two iron. Now the question is at this point, do I do I take it on and chase or do we play safe? No one came here to see me play safe. It’s got to be at least a 50 yard cut. Oh no. Oh no. These pros get all the luck, don’t they? It’s not too bad there. I thought I was carrying into farmer Giles’s then he’s into the wind. Luckily, not as long as they used to be. Right now, this is definitely not the shot if you were trying to make par, but we need a three early on. And I have got a good slice in me when needed. 50 yards, you say, Marco? Yeah. Challenge accepted. Oh, that’s mega. Do you reckon that’s nearly on? Seen it bounce just left of it. Driving it great. The crumble ain’t happening on my watch. Why is my ball not on the green? No one’s thrown it on yet. Yours is good. That just over the track. Oh, look at it. I can make five from there. I haven’t got much of a shot really. Oh no, that is honking. I’m just going to chip in most likely. So, no pressure. Bare firm. Didn’t do well to get under this. It’s very easy to fat these. I’m going have to dig the leading edge in. played like a bit of a flop. Sort of steep flop. That’s a great shot. Pretty good. Great shot. So firm. Make sure this is stone dead. I’m going to try and land it around here and then it should just feed out. Lies a bit stinky, a little bit bare, but we’re all downhill. So, just before the green sit pretty well. Yeah, it’s just a little bare the line. It was one of those like in my mind I was thinking about duffing it slightly. So was a bit you know back in the stance and making sure of the strike not the fat. Great thought. It’s the other way around. Bit of a match play situation this. I think it is. If I hole you miss and if I miss you hole. Massive. We should have just gone halves halves. Yeah. given, you know, how prolific I am with a blade. Jesus. Great foot, mate. Back to two already. No, no, no. There’s two. There’s one currently, right? Yeah. Just outside. Right. I think I should have chose a week where you missed the cut, not won the tournament. That probably uh probably would have been more in my favor. Okay, this plenty time. Good pull one in it. Yeah, one in it and I’ve only dropped one shot. You chirping on the first T about giving me five shots as well. There’s a twist on par 3 is you have to throw it. I reckon you’d be better throwing it. Well, hey, 155. You set yourself up for that one. 55 left flag. Yeah, back left flag is actually a really tough flag position, but we’re going to go for it. 155. Little downhill. Winds out the left. Just a nice wedge. He just just won’t give me a break, will he? Right down the stick. Oh, hello. Thought wedge was big for you. Did you? Yeah. I thought you meant the other way. No. No. Oh, I would have thought that 48 club for you got into my head. I’ve just got a little nine now after seeing that. That is possibly the the nastiest pin I’ve ever seen. It’s horrendous, isn’t it? It’s the actual green there. I know. Right, I’m going to go just a 9:00 9 iron middle of the green two port runaway. Oh, it’s such a bad lazy golf swing. Oh, interesting. Yeah, I was I should have it wedged there. I was so in between cubs. Right. I’ve got a gap, but there’s a canopy. There’s a tear. There’s slopes. There’s There’s not a lot of hope is what I’m saying here, folks. Little pitch though, just over there. Where’s the flag? There it is. 30 yard. Just just a normal pitch this. Sit down. Hit it. Sit. Great shot. Yeah. Nice. Got a 10 footer. We’ve got chances. Just got to find our way back to the green now. So there slight ups slope the ball is on. Luckily the first two yards of this green is sitting in. So got something there to help stop the ball. Got to play it quite steep because it’s so firm underneath at the minute. Just land it a yard on. Little bit of check and release. That’s one tour. Played it pretty well. Not easy. Fancy this though. Exciting part. Be some free if you make this. It’s just how we roll, Marco. I like it. Oh, you sneaky little sausage. Great try. Had more dive than an Olympic swimmer of that bogey. Brilliant. Great pot. Thank you. Great three. Three under for you. Yeah. Yeah. Me, too. Panic stations, everyone. Panic stations. Three under. Three under. Yeah. Mine’s legit though. Right. Drivable par 4. Drivable par 4. Yeah. It’s 370. We got a little bit of help in the air. Okay. I feel rubbish at golf now. Oh, yeah. Oh, actually is this like So, if you’ve not seen already, we’ve done some lessons with Marco and he talked about like from left to right. Um, rubbish. Yeah. So, this is what probably 60 yards here wide from left to right. Yeah. This is So, this is like one of your your bomb shots. Yeah. I can go go at it. If you’re not, if you want to know what I’m talking about, go and look at that video and it’ll have the full explanation in. Scores are level though. We’ve got uh four holes to play. Marco is obviously petrified. You can tell. Just managed to hold it together on the last, but now he’s probably going to knock it on and make me feel very small. Mediocre. Lost it. Yeah. Just going towards the flag. Just carried the bunker. Green side track. Yeah, I think it’s just shy of it. Only went 3 340. All right. Well, peg it up higher. My dispersion, my left to right’s about 100. I I tend to let it go at You’re driving it great today, though. So, I’d say it’s probably more in the 50 60 dispersion. I can let it go at this one. Green light. Yeah. Just make sure you zoomed on that flag, Joe. Just in case. Yeah. Second shot gets near. Missed the trap left. Hanging. Is it? Oh, that was a bounce. That’s fine there. I think I’ve just actually burst my spleen trying to stay level with Marco. That was a silly idea. Oh. Oh. 64 yards for me here. Just some newly laid turf. Marco’s just crept over the trap. He’s not that far in front of me. So, you know, just proves that I am massive. Just need to hit a good wedge now. That would be all I need to do. Oh, get down. Get down. Just heads not on today. Terrible. That was being scared of the lie that and duffing it. So I extra went at it. I think the greens are too firm to land it on. So it’s a slight bank at the front. I’m going to just land it into the bank. Let it pop up. Slopes quite severely right to left. kind of starting this at Matt’s ball. [Music] Really played that nicely. Close dog’s teeth in, didn’t it? I don’t imagine your thought proc was process was the same as mine. Mine was hit it harder so you don’t duff it. Did you get that one as a You ever find yourself, you know, under the cooch in a tour event thinking, not not one you normally get? Try not to. Yeah. Try not to. Makes sense. Yeah. Tend to fly it like 10 15 yards further than you would want when sometimes get it off a tea or something. Don’t snap hook this one out of bounds or something like that. But probably not the best mindset. Yeah, working on that. Steady. Pretty good. Wasn’t the easiest, was it? No, I took the wrong wedge up there with me. Right. So, I didn’t come back to change it. Just thought stick with it. Open it up cuz you know I’m that talented. And now I’ve got a 10footer. Sure. Just get it there uphill. All you had to do was get to the hole. Yeah. Unfortunate. Quality bogey. One behind. Need to need to turn it on for these last three. Dog leg up the hill left to right. It’s quite a strong hole. I think it actually is stroke index one. I would have said. Come on. Lost it. It was just cutting up the middle on it. Should be okay. Didn’t see any of it. It was literally just cutting up. Just going to come over that bush. It looked like Okay, pretty good. Is this the play here? Am I Yeah, you’re put a score system where I’m one behind. So, I’m I’m currently Do you want to win? Yeah. Be nice driver then. Okay. Sometimes you just got to stand there. And is the water further away on the left than it is the right? Further away on Is the brook doing this or this? I think it’s doing that. Okay. Doesn’t help me. Start at them red stakes up the left. Yeah. 10 cut. Okay. bit out the bottom. So, yeah, it’s had a couple of ounces at least. That just shy of it, I reckon. I didn’t quite get it. And I’m not incredibly long like you. That’s beautiful. Here we go. Just shy. Quite happy I hit that low out at the bottom because we’ve pulled up. When he thinks it’s driver, it’s definitely not for me because all the yardages would say that that was not driver. But he’s going to be about 30 over 146 to the flag. I need I need to make a bird here. Really just can’t drop any more shots. Well, one behind. Just a few really scruffy scruffy drop shots. But let’s let’s see what we can do. N go a bit right of it. Balls above my feet. It should fall back towards [Applause] me. Please be the right yardage. Oh, what is going on? Yeah, I actually landed second bounce bottom of the tree and ran back down the trunk. I couldn’t have hit a better shot there. I’ve hit it too far. Right. Thought that was perfect. I’m just I’m just Shouldn’t have had that chicken club sandwich. It’s made me 10 longer. 108. Marco, what are you? Uh I’m going to launch one into orbit with a 60° 58°. I needed a lucky break there. And I just got to try and stop this as quick as I can. Go. Good shot. Thank you. Any chance of giving me, you know, a break? Wowers. Wowers. Trousers. Very good. Thank you. Luckily, we hit middle stump to come back. This is going to be possibly the greatest up and down you will ever see on YouTube. I could lose an eye to a uh I thought these were only out at Christmas as well, these holly bushes. What’s all this about? Go on then. Great shot. I’ll give you that one. Yeah, deserve it. Feel like I’ve just got a new tattoo on my shoulder, but great for Is that the greatest up and down you’ve ever seen? Definitely up there. You’ll probably will you go to your tour mates and tell them now? I think I might to be fair. Yeah, just in the WhatsApp group. A lads. Next time when I’m when I’m playing next, I’ll just be thinking about that. Yeah. When you go to the PGA? Yeah. When you’re stood on the range and Rory walks by, just say, “I know. I know you worn a green jacket, Rory, but let me tell you about Frier out of a holly bush at Clethero. I’ll get it on camera.” And he’ll say, “I don’t care. Go away.” Unlucky. It’s nice that you, you know, tried to ruin a spot like that. That was a joke. That I know. It was pretty like the way I played it. Like Spanish hand. Yeah. Rory things already dream of. Yeah. Just just come to you know dealing with many a bush. When you hit in as much trouble as I do, you get used to us then. Right. 203 playing 214. This eighth hole. There’s one stroke in it. Marco. Yeah, that wind has just gone into Yeah, I’ve got a seven iron in my hand. You’ll be all right though. You’re huge. 214. Yeah. Going to have to sling one, aren’t I? Sling draw. Sling draw left to the green. Ah, wrong club. Sit. I think that’s okay. That’ll be like just shy a pin high just on the fringe. I’d be buzzing with that. I had to rip it to get it there. Yeah, I’ve got six iron. I’m just going to go just tiny bit left and cut it cuz drawing is just not what I do. Oh, I’ve drawn it more than you. It’s going to hit the boogie. Good thing you went up to the green. Not our best there, pal. No. Keeps us. Can’t keep just hitting good shot after good shot, can you? No. It gets hard. It’s what I find the most. Yeah. But it’s just part of the game. Just test our short game now. Yeah. Them Spanish hands of yours. Yeah. Do that. Go down the last level. What an epic game. Mhm. Little 48. Bump it just shy of the slope and just let it just let it trickle up. Doesn’t have to be anything super special. Just enough to take the stinger out of this 48. Oh, pretty good, mate. Just landed it a tiny bit too far than what I wanted, but I’ll take it. I’ll take it. You’re going up upwards, so you got an all right lie, though. Mine was is indifferent. He’s pretty dead, but really need to up and down. Mine. That was glass. It’s so good. He’s gone and hold it. Oh my gosh, that was a different gravy. Would you say that’s the area where your games most improve your short game over the last year? Um, probably. Um, it’s still my weakest statistically my weakest part of my game. Yeah. Yeah. My approach plays improved the most. No, four over. Yeah, fantastic. Up and down. Thank you. Well done, sir. Thank you. Still three under for you. Yeah, just two shot lead going up last. is out of bounds in play. So, you never know. Yeah, you could have a six shot win. I’m trying to give you some hope, Pat. Right then, Marco. 400 yd. Yeah. The tiniest hair of right to left in this hole. Mhm. Two shot advantage for you. Have you got as many nerves as you did last week winning? It’s pretty similar to be fair. Is it? Yeah. That’s to be expected. Pretty similar. Big big moment. Especially I’m starting it down the out of bounds line. Are you? Yeah. Over this skinny tree. Caught. Yeah. What a shot. Just don’t double cross it. I’ve dropped it from the inside. It’s okay. Not too bad. Just got to the top of the swing and it was turning it left. M was one of them. Was that was that the thought? One of them just Right. I’m going at the little Is that the halfway hook behind the green to the right? Yeah. I’m going to cut it off there. That’s an impressive hill. Very flat behind there, isn’t it? Pendle Hill. That is Is that Pendle Hill? M. Is that where the witches were? Yeah. Right. Do it for the witches then. That’s it. Don’t slam it. I’ll hit another one. I think that was four left shout for the people on the range. I mean it was going that way. Lovely double cross that just a little bit off the toe. It was actually anything more heelsided really. Yeah. I just shut the face. So, I was like, I’m going to don’t worry about hitting it left. I can hold the face. And I just went, do you know what? No. Do your normal thing and just do this. I think it’s safe to say you might have one marker. That was tow saved. So, he saved little drop kit. Do you not have that shot in the locker? I don’t use that one that much. No, you have not. Is it not a to regular shot that one? Yeah, I normally get that one. Right, there we go. Three off the tea. It’s sad to see a play player crumble like this. I was so close yet so far. I didn’t bring my didn’t bring my aame today to beat to beat henge but you know a hole out here for four he mails the green duffs it couple of chips couple of puts who knows who knows I’ve got 115 I’ve got me 52 looks a bit uphill this could hold it. Flyer. What is going on? Flyer, would it? Caddy’s giving you a run back. Cadd’s fault. I’ve never like it’s uphill 115 to the ball and I’ve never hit this club past like 11 1. Cadd’s fault. Yeah. Yeah, your job is left and right and straight over it. Job was short and long, right? 99 yards. I’m going to play for a little flyer. The thing Matt didn’t do. 5 yards of flyer. So 95 shot. Pitch it three short of it at 92 and then let Matt pick it out of the hole, I think. Yeah. See, that’s the difference between tall pros and us. Lucky. I like that. Oh, well. I hope you’ve enjoyed it. We’ll uh we’ll up and down your divots there. We’ll uh up and down and maybe get back to the to the practice ground is probably the best bet. Pretty good. How many shots in it, Matt? No. Uh 16, I think. 16. [Laughter] Yeah. He’s not he penalty win by one. Now I’ve missed that. Yeah. Good fall. Cheers, mate. Pleasure. Enjoyed it. Well done. Thank you guys. Hope you enjoyed that one. Go and check Mark on his socials. Wish him some luck for the PGA and the Open. We’ll see him out there, guys. See you in the next one. Watch another one here where I get beat. Thank you.

This is getting too hard to watch, used to be a big fan. Btw don’t sniff when wearing a microphone. Sorry.
3 minutes in and already noticing your negative and defensive attitude. You can do better, Matt!
Is that Alex Elliot in the background?
Great stuf Matt!
You two are a brilliant combo! Matt and Marco on tour!
Can we get a video, where the actual handicaps are used? Curious what the outcome would be, does the handicaps even the playing field????
Ehup Matt, you need to change you mindset, see these matches as something you can learn from, you have the game, so your thought process ect. to being more positive.
Hi Matt, thanks for the video. Marco is great for your channel. Any chance you can try the 3,2,1 principle when playing these matches. When you did it with Karl Morris you played really well. Thanks.
Damn, these tour pros are good, 😂
such a great watch Matt. Despite the result, looked like you really enjoyed yourself. Golf is not always about the result, but the laughs with a mate…
Great match mat
After the opener what's the point of watching the video?? You have already showed all the good stuff and spoiled the rest of the video
Really enjoyed that Matt , what an athlete and player , Marco was quite good too
Is it that time of the year already. Marco's yearly thrashing of Fryer
Marco, what a legend. A funny touring pro. Good luck for the season and beyond.
great video, love seeing Marco on the show. He is incredible. Well done.
Marco is phenomenal
Great video, Marco seems like a genuine nice guy. Matt I think you need to do some cardio as you always seem to be out of breath/ breathing heavy.
Don’t usually comment, but you mentioned you didn’t warm up? Is this just for content purposes or did you genuinely not go through a warm up. Got fed up of certain other “content creators” who’s opening gambit was “well here’s the first swing of the day” and then proceed to play crap golf and moan about it. I’m not interested in watching that kind of content, show some respect to the opponent and your audience and take your job seriously. I can watch crap golf live every time I tee it up, don’t want to watch crap golf with someone moaning about how crap they’re playing when they don’t give the golf respect i.E pull a club out the bag and then assess the lie!
That was a good watch. The Pros really are good aren't they?
Matt: "No one came here to see me play safe."
Everyone: "No one came here to see Matt play."
Love you Matt!
Enjoyed this, Marco is solid!
👎🏾
Can he do it in Stoke on a rainy day 🤣🤣🤣
Tbf Matts a very good golfer but the difference between a tour and everyone else is huge
Yes please, 18 holes at Lindrick with your new custom fit Takomos. Cheers!
Crikey…if a few more putts had dropped for Marco……10 may not of been enough! Lol. We know you can play better Matt. Good fun watch.
Watched Marco at the 2020 event at Ganton. Did a little long drive clinic and ball speed was crazy…
Great to hear the thought process of a pro how he reads the course, the green, the wind. Awesome. Matt you are talking yourself into bad shots way too often.
One of the best videos I've watched. Hope Marco comes to Australia one day.
