[Music] and David Brahm swinging the club finally like he uh wants to Yeah he said he was very happy with the way he hit it yesterday And there’s a beauty He is starting on number five today Had a little problem yesterday with a sore back Hopefully he’s got that sorted out who enjoyed his best finish of the season in Korea Last time out he was tied for fourth That form has been brought back states side at three under pass 68 yesterday So he’s currently residing in the top 10 here Leman and Rahm But it’s all about spin control on this second shot This is missing the green right Caught the fairway bunker uphill line He’s got a pitching wedge into this left hole location trying to draw one in It’s looking good Bridge You’re going to spin back 25 30 ft the old ball that has more spin on it but it does fly much nicer than the ball he was using early in the year He did it Rob He did it That’s been cost him It’s going to end up costing him about 15 ft or so Go Cam at 16 Good start for up on the green or the fringe is Alavan Liheri his third shot Simple little bump and run Beautifully played Back to back and he’s got every chance of Omen taking W Nean for top spot in the season long standings [Applause] Only Kimer and Lihiri amongst the contenders through round one had exceptional putting days The rest of the leaders all had mediocre putting rounds So it really shows you this is all about getting it from T Green And WCO had a good chance at the first move a little bit left of where I thought it was going to go but [Music] [Applause] Oh my god And after the rain you see these bunkers [Music] It’s a great shot It’s a little too stressful for [Music] him He hits him with so much speed to be able to get all that spin It’s just amazing I mean he’s just his super Saturday round with backto back birdies This is at 17 and the answer is an emphatic yes And Cam is three left of that ridge ball just slightly above his feet This part of his game is just so sharp [Music] Eventually won by two his first victory since Pinehurst in the US Open last year He’ll defend that title in Oakmont next week And it looks to second Yeah rather be in a fairway bunker than the rough Lovely flighted shot This is going to spin a little bit Beautiful shot [Music] Great up and down That’s a confidence builder A bounce back birdie at four And just to the left stays at two under par Another perfect one Amazing how straight it is One Lot of break from the left It’s all about pace up this big ridge John Ross While that was going on Gre Mcdall was doing this over at the third This was for Birdie Another beautiful P Feel it with the putter but this is an important one Doesn’t want to miss two in a row from this sort of distance for Birdie And this would make it a four-way tie on five on the bar fly just over the left hand bunker and that’s where we’re going to see it the flops from that shot again David [Music] flop starting down the middle but it’s drifting right oh the wind took that hard from the second fairway Sorry There’s a slope there He uses it nicely Quite an only Westwood would get in on the act of the horse racing promo Yeah he has a few GG’s Bubba with his second shot up the hill at five Eight iron front left hole location You have to carry that front edge of the green He’ll win into is that wet Yes it is Virginia Tier Hatton enjoyed a very successful live golf off season but a struggle for form in the first half of this season to the hole It’s fortunate it’s an uphill hit that rough Great shot Just trying to be that big of a deal And it’s in the wind Come on Taylor Gu Just a moment ago his second shot at number six Oh nice kick [Music] Get in the hole Get it Get it Here is Waco Nean at the third with a pitching We’re slightly into the wind Oh you won’t like that one Belongs to Honorban Lehiri Here’s how it got there from 175 Mark Leeman did make bogey at number four That’s a good effort after leaving one in the water a long way [Music] Two great up and downs start Dean Burmeister of Stinger GC one under par round of 70 yesterday and he is now two 16th same green Cameron Tringali also two underpar plays for Phil Mickelson’s highf fly sporting a third place they have a quartet that now includes the first in round substitute that’s got a chance Wolf had to withdraw after better swing So the right side’s 330 bunker We can see plunges into that bunker Moments ago Jason Kra for birdie at six He goes back to back and that gets Brooks Kers smashing off a three [Applause] [Music] What a performance of driving the ball this is It’s just extraordinary Brooks Keepka for birdie at seven and get smashed into the lead by a shot [Music] And a moment ago John Rom for birdie at the third [Music] And he gets the crushers back level with Smash GC on 10 [Applause] under to join the leaders on five under [Music] Looks like Phil is the one they’re cheering for from the water You can use that slope and you’ll get to within 10 15 feet and that’s where it’s headed It’s just about whether he gets it far enough up the slope Not quite Martin Kim going to go with the third green Oh wow Just 10 ft further than his Oh it’s a bit right Too far right Not remotely pleased with that contact Oh getting a little ground hook on it though Pretty he thought that one wasn’t going to cover them It’s amazing to watch him hit that driver [Music] It’s just those shots that got clean up a little bit [Music] What a good shot Starts making noise Watch out Bryson strikes first on Super Saturday Bunker right home location There is a back stop past this pin You could use it to spin it back [Music] Thank you Thank you Martin Ka has joined Bryson Dambo on six under pal Difficult lap to ride as Ka joins Bryson on six under Phil stays foreign Cameron Smith going into the first Very nice Oh that’ll work [Applause] Sean up the [Music] hill I shoved it My bad What [Music] Aussie Aussie Aussie and he’s back to five under par across the golf course here Sam Horsefield plays for the Majestics who are having a toriding time of it 12 over par down in 13th place That was his second shot into the 12 made consecutive birdies And Tier Hatton he’s just grump around it [Music] The eighth green and Brooks Ker who has started very well today That’s another birdie He’s burned three of his opening four holes here on Super Saturday [Music] kind of hooked it out of there and needed to be a little more right but this is going to work out pretty good Yeah that’s a terrific shot Beautiful Green’s got plenty of speed still That’s seriously impressive Yeah that’s incredible actually Wide open face Exemption in the US Open for Phil Mickelson bias there Switch one in for birdie He’s gotten really good at hitting these guys make those look so simple Oh that’s an amazing up and down Very good lie But with this pin he’s just going to aim for the TV tower Good 20 yards left of the pin Very good engage Couple of feet left on that line and he’s get in there Get in there There you go [Music] Swing it inside out That’s a rare miss to the right Artic looking to push third He bogei the fourth and then had this to tie the lead Consecutive birdies for Mark Leechman who is enjoying a fine season so [Music] far Close enough to make birdie And it’s a four-way tie on six under He birdie the second after this second shot and stinger GC The South Africans are on a tail on Super Saturday What a shot Here’s Bubba This to get to six under also He is cruising And then there were five plays He will win a major It might not be this year It might not be next but he will win one I’m convinced of that Yep I believe so Don right aiming closer to the golf course here at 8 So not as big a fade Wow that’s Did he hit it straight on I know There’s something you don’t see very often You said the truest thing I’ve ever heard about in years ago He can’t see straight He doesn’t farther left You get a lot of slope He’s got a slope to the right They’ll bring it back to the hole It’s a long way Yeah [Music] Trying to hit a high draw That is close to where Neman found himself We’re giving it up He’s got to be looking a little left with the pen though Oh he cut it in there This could be an incredible if it’s on got enough distance Pretty good shot to get to there A lot of loose sand up top but not a lot of firmness underneath Yeah I just don’t see see how fast that checked I mean all he’ll do is go with the flag with a little less arm action You kind of played that in between right of this pin An uphill pretty straight putt This is the part of this game that is just so sharp I kind of knifed a little bit Yeah Brandon Grace is in deep relegation trouble This was for Birdie at 11 He makes that but then he bogeies 64° flips underneath it like every time Never lets the face turn over He always keeps that towards the sky Here’s Bubba at number eight His usual graceful follow through Good shot He’s seen the other two balls How quickly it stops around this hole Rip the ears off that shot and aaneri [Music] Brighton’s exhilarating fall for the outright lead because Mark Leeman almost simultaneously did that for a third [Music] Oh my god Handban He gets it to six under I cannot draw it today [Music] Bubba for the outright lead This is the eighth green That’s for Eagle Wonderful try is to get him a shot back He’s on the tea at seven Started solidly today with four straight pars and he’s coming off consecutive birdies at five and six Thank you And it doesn’t phase him that he’s playing longer seconds [Music] Bigger payoff on this hole for hitting the fairway than most of the others Yeah you’re absolutely right Jerry That’s a very accessible pin from the fairway Not so [Applause] much Birded that one Birdies followed at five and then at seven and [Music] eight His range goats are in a tie for third place They were the overnight Sevenwood with a downhill line to an elevated green Tough shot Yeah I kind of squirted that one right there Doesn’t like that But he’s always been an excellent putter Sound the field more than a quarter shot better than second That’s Kimer His second and six He swinging the club See how downhill that is Got slope there It’s just going to kill it Serious business but 14 players in the Live Golf League field We’ll head to Oakmont next week for the US Open And fairways are a little more generous here I think than they would be at any US Open But although modern US Opens as Rom skinnies it over the green modern US Opens have gotten a bit more a big say And who comes out on top Well Mark Leeman that’s his fourth shot at number eight Good Go ahead It’ll be a par Come on fell [Music] Oh he bladed it over Got to slow down a bit It’s pretty good It wasn’t a great lie either That at six and he’s tied for the lead is Terrell Hatton Little earlier for birdie at 14 Long distance and he catches Good stroke Wow Yeah Motivational speaker first and foremost Uh fashion icon What Well this is extraordinary Nean is seven under par The top three He still belongs here You know he it’s Oh yeah I think fans are not used to seeing his name in his lift golf career thus far in this position but he just looks carrying himself like “Yeah that’s where I’m supposed to be.” He just does what he does He hits it to the corners and he hits it on the green It’s just extra Great up and down there for John I’m characteristic All right He’s got him going right today Yeah You know I mean he took a couple of steps backwards after hitting that Wow He’s trying to kill it Obviously he’s trying to hit over that bunker Yeah One settles down so far Swing a fantastic that’s a good shot [Applause] [Music] Came out fantastic Little hot but not bad probably Even a couple of yards short is not a bad play They’re down Down He has come so close to winning a live golf to heartbroken by his captain Bryson and Dejambo in 23 And then he missed such a short putt didn’t he to win in under Lucia last year Missed it and lost the playoff to Sergio That’s Mark Leeman wise on seven under Marco Ne second shot at eight Seven but didn’t seem like he caught off most of it That front right bunker is not a bad spot Nine Got a good read from Leicia’s putt moving to his left [Music] In front of the green Oh maybe he wasn’t even that came out quite different from what I thought come up as we get up higher out of that Came out very soft Came out probably 10 ft shorter than he wanted to Yeah I think he was trying that That so hard he hit it hard enough from that into that grain How far back he’s got that in his stance It’s outside his left foot Kick the wrong way He couldn’t really take that flag on from where he now Phil at seven [Applause] That’s a great shot from Virginia Sam Horsefield He started the day two over par He was soon three over after boging his first hold attempt since then Two on the green Just like that [Applause] [Music] gone Well if John Ram meant to lay up to that position he did a stellar job Oh got to keep doing it He keeps leaving himself those Is it going to hang up now for bogey [Applause] Alaban tapped in run just like he is right now This for four in a row but he started down with four and now he’s bubble Watson’s par putt and he missed it at 10 [Music] John Roth did a shot of our leaders [Music] by where he walked up to Probably a low little flip wedge Expect this to be close [Music] So he’s off the 11 So bad Doesn’t like it It’s got me so scared That’s my bad I mean hey that’ll play [Music] Oh boy [Music] He likes [Music] it Good shot Pull up Pull up Snap Hooked it Much rather have it on the other side of the hole Bryson eight That’s well done [Music] Stay up in the hole 40th place So some work to do Dean Burster is leading the stinger charge in the team competition That was for Birdie at the fourth Singer the best in class so far today Oh and Honorban stays at Phil for Birdie at eight That whole location you don’t want anything to do with that front portion of this green Oh this is heading left We saw over there and that’s pretty slippy down that slope Can carry this to the front edge of the green It needs to turn harder Might be that right bunker It’s a big kick forwards and that’s a chance for Eagle That three would about 295 asked it to come left a little Well that’s further right on it dude Easy Chambo who has cooled off somewhat over the last three holes sends it towards the green on the par three Moving left He’s having an excellent round of golf today This was for Birdie at 17 He’s six under parath it in there It’s going to get up that slow Oh he’s trying It’s going to kick left Brilliant That’s as close as he could have gotten it playing it that way This was Carlos Ortiz for Eagle at 14 He is by no means out of it If he hits it a little heavy he’s going to get caught up in it like this That just needs an awkward cut as well He’s got a flirt Did this at nine Oh that was not lying Well but it’s not Yeah he punches the air Leechman did make his double bogey [Music] Short Great effort there from pitch there I thought he might too to get to nine under and he is in the lead This chance for John Ram Who will win Let’s go Yeah play That is some serious posing right there Yeah it is Oh that will not stay up Threewood off the 10 [Music] Look you’re going to miss it That’s not a bad spot He is on the T at 11 trailing W by [Applause] It’s headed right towards the pins Just about the distance He’s up at 15 This is his second shot Martin Kimer with a very awkward shot Not much more than you can do All right [Applause] Jack win that Let’s go [Applause] [Music] Yeah that’s a terrific put from there Phil Mickelson had an eagle putt at 10 [Applause] [Music] [Music] Fell in love with the line A great red spot at 13 [Music] Oh what a shot This hand No sooner does Waco Nean hit the front on nine under par That was for par for GMAC at 12 Oh violent lip Let’s go How about a threeshot swing then on hole number 11 Double bogey for WCO Nean Back foot draw Not really drawn like leaving the face open like crazy Yeah that’s not great Heel barely makes contact with the ground Dress all the weight forwards on the ball of his foot Just so unusual Completely self-t talk up actually not a bad spot Very good lie too But this has got to go come out way too soft Maybe off the top of the club face It’s one or two very close every round Oh that looks has cooled off a little since his victory in Hong Kong and that creditable third place finish in Miami This was his third shot at the second That’s more like it That birdie put Phil Mickelson pretty firm Bryson stays three back at his pressure Well while Bryson was doing that Annab was doing this Switch groups because of the form showed by this man today Bubba Watson That’s right That’s just a threeiron layup Eight iron pardon me there just before he hits the pole [Music] Well time for a Riad Air [Music] playing beautifully himself Marco Neman to bounce back from that disappointing double at 11 and he fails to do so Kimer’s T- shot Liheri for par up in the green Oh that’s the length he doesn’t like The 13th T Anaban Lihiri sends it on his way with a lead of two Got to be careful on the left side here There’s that steep slope if you catch that Absolutely Yeah We were covering the bunker Remind me of everybody yesterday Come on John This was Bubba’s fourth and 14 Little bump and run up the hill [Music] Kick right That quick deep Bryson second shot up the hill at 12 back Not enough Yeah that uh that shot As long as you don’t fly over that ridge That’s got to sit down Oh it’s looking good Yeah it is need to make that to go what’ll be essentially four back once back taps in Well he’s seen how it’s done Annaban Waco Nean Looks like he’s going to use it Oh I don’t understand how that goes so long Adam There’s no way I can hit it that far with the 60 This is a moment ago Martin Kimmer for birdie at [Music] 12 Stays at six under of the field Seven clear of Sergio Sergio was five under on the final day Lihi bogei three of his last five He was two over Yeah it was tough to watch He was and do some of the damage caused by that double bogey at 11 And that one slides by the right hand side of the hole The penalty area here at 15 He’s got 52° That’s another great shot Great recovery Three to 14 Graham McDow for birdie Just need a little more speed on that line Have regained the lead on 19 underpar A shot clear of the crushers because Brooks Keeper has bounced back from that bogey at 17 to 18 He is four under par by four His team won back of Brooks Keeper Smash GC just drove it miles up there Get a sand wedge on it That was nicely done Yubin Jang is three under playing his first season in the Live Golf League for Kevin Nars’s Iron Heads and he’s going along quite nicely That was his second and 15 He’s played it out to the right and it’s turning over This is beautiful if it carries That’s a magnificent shot 40 yards behind these two He’s up with them now same line as Neman’s Yeah another really good shot The same boat he was in yesterday when the wind picked up Second shot actually backed up about 30 yards Marty Kimer at 13 This was earlier for Birdie try the hole Another one [Music] Beautiful there [Applause] you A gray mcdal his second shot at 15 Left and way left Way left That laid really tough yesterday Need a little spin Beautifully done Okay Indeed here on Super Saturday 14 under for the day Their lead is now three Graeme McDall with that bird Well played Annaban What a [Music] set on the T6 I see the ball I see it I see it I see it [Music] There you go to mess that all way right though Going to need another fill for here [Music] That’s straight over the middle of it and it will be over it Beautiful T-shot there [Music] Annablier has Nice shots by anything He didn’t get it He didn’t get it Is not too bad He just needs to land as soft as he can [Applause] Which he does with real plum GMAC eight under three I’m sure that was pretty thick by just didn’t Oh hold on What a shot [Applause] [Music] [Applause] That was especially downwind Virtually [Music] impossible Oh beautiful Didn’t need to use the back Cheesiest shot Less margin for error Yes Or greater margin for error Oh that’s what he’s trying to do Oh yes beautiful All right 14 just a moment ago This distance should move to his left on the bar for Super Saturday so far And it’s that would have tied Kimer for [Music] second best That driver is still smoking [Music] [Applause] [Music] Good looking shot This is a good distance It’s great Oh yeah it’s got to be uses the fine shot [Music] Lead is one Brooks cap had a par of two That’s what I’m guessing too Oh is that a huzzle Oh well it’s flying like one A little higher than the hoszle but oh my goodness Is that in the penalty area Didn’t get to it Really close here These guys are having great difficulty holding on to the golf club Goodness Almost a yard Watson second at 18 Ball sitting down This is nine iron Just trying to carve it around those trees That’s brilliant Oh this is more like it Should come back a touch [Music] This is his longest now for Brighton Bubba for birdie left to right Wow he is putting great This is for birdie at two and Smash lead by two He never came up to the green really No Well I guess he was just making sure he’s applying it to really when play was interrupted yesterday on four under par He said he lost a little bit of his momentum during the break but he was solid nonetheless to end the day of shots off the lead and he is running hot here in his closing hold Oh started a little below the line Had to clober on that line to hold it but he did Are you kidding me Who needs to look at the flag stick hazard there on the left That’s risky Hook Hook Well you saw the graphic on the bottom of your screen a few moments ago and Madal this could enough points to get into the top 24 which will guarantee him a place next year And another one is missed [Applause] Cut it set going through those soft conditions Well I wouldn’t have predicted he’d had the honor after that T-shot on the last either Good swing You ladies right [Applause] This is right in the tree See his hands laid on the delivery in this one for Graeme He’s going to have to punch this in The contours right and a little past it It’s got to go up bit Oh and it didn’t spin Oh he’s getting all the brakes right now I’ll say if it hadn’t going to drop out of a sprinkler I know he’s got this for two Needs one of these to go in eventually Slides the club right underneath This looks good [Applause] [Music] Another chance to stay nine under [Applause] Here is rolling beautifully This is going to be dropping out of the clouds [Applause] He’s got to be feeling confident Oh that’s a mistake yet another birdie Okay Did he say why he switched Pat Not really He was trying to He gave me some answer I don’t know He’s going back looked like he did Look out [Music] Good so far tonight picked it nice and clean Oh a really good shot [Music] A ton of penalty here scoring average-wise for missing this fairway And that’s missing it Oh that doesn’t need to hit anyone Timber And there that’s Hold This is his second shot a few moments ago So he likes it Right at it Oh [Applause] that hopped on [Music] him because Phil Mickelson at 17 made birdie He’s made five This is just a punch charge Yep Oh it needs to go Ah he could have hit that a lot harder Two cups I reckon Not even close And it’s a second round Five under the par 66 for Gmac He’s nine I mean he’s he’s flag hunting And it is hunting the flag team The same putt that Fel had He did make downhill line as you say Not going to get a spin out of this Although it looks pretty good Oh way better than I thought he could do from there Great shot Another taps in at two Six under pass 65 Martin Kimer back in the 18 Got to go left Got to miss the bunker [Music] [Applause] [Music] Perfect Nearly a bullseye in the landing area there 300 yard in the hole [Applause] [Applause] Come in Suan This would be huge for his psyche He made it That could be huge for Anaban Liheri Couple of clutch power punts in the closing holes Well before underban this was John Ram and he actually makes one That’ll be a relief Well his dinner will taste a little bit nicer after that 18 tower is perfect uphill putt Got an eight iron right on the 18 As long as it’s not too long Yeah great spot [Music] just fanned it out to the left [Music] Keep that face open straight Looks like he’s got it But another That’s a 68 for Phil today to add to his 67 yesterday Seven under bar and he’ll see [Music] finally he went into the final round in career last time out leading by four and he’ll go into the final round here in Virginia trailing by four but still out of 67 today for Martin Kim to add to his 66 yesterday so three players Watson McD after the heartbreaks that he has suffered on previous championship Sundays The pride of Pune India 11 under par He will take a two-stroke lead into the final round ahead of Bubba Watson Graeme McDall and Martin on champion on the Super Saturday Thomas Peter’s five under par Three four aces in a row there Mark Leechman faded after an excellent start today He’s four under par Little further down

  1. Jon Rahm has so many outbursts lol. Bryson’s driving dispersion is pretty bad but he seems to always recover most of them shots in the rough

  2. I guess the pga is worried about crowd size today😊 I enjoy the liv highlights that I'm watching better than live golf on tv

  3. It’s the format. It’s league golf I could care less about the crushers the range goats. I’m not gonna buy their swag. I’m not gonna endorse the team because it makes no sense. Who cares? I can’t watch it. I’m all in on the PGA tour. I’m sorry I won’t endorse LIV Golf

  4. Bryson is such a drama queen when missing putts! Once he has a bad hole it seems as though he fights demons in his head the rest of the round. Definitely needs some Prozac or something!

  5. Couple things I noticed watching these highlight videos. First, they never put the 3 triangle graphics on bubba Watson drive 😂. Second, seeing it condensed like this really shows off how great pro golfers are at putting. Finally, Martin Kaymer had probably the most ho-hum 67 I’ve ever seen. Looked like he struggled for everything but had a great round.

  6. Yep this is way better than the Canadian Open .. who are half of them? I’d rather watch this .. golf is decent and players so much more interesting …

  7. Man every course the gets chosen for a tournament should have mandatory short par 4, (and short par 3), very entertaining.

  8. They need to do something about the fairway bunkers – they're basically not hazards. Not sure what can be done, but for these pros they seem to be too easy to hit out of.
