lot of big guys out here i will tell you one thing walking up here the course is very intimidating and uh the people are very intimidating too playing partner for the day partner slash we’ll do we’ll do a little bit of a match but Roger we uh been been meaning to play for a while so it’s going to it’s going to be nice to play together um here at Oakmont but um you excited for the day bro yeah i’m glad that we waited until it was real special like this too man cuz we could have went anywhere you know what I mean saw grass would have been nice but open mind dude can’t beat it bro come on man can’t beat it me you and Kyle all paired up together that’s going to be special but yeah man we going to try to break par that’s really That’s what you’re trying to do yeah that’s what I’m trying to do oh you going to scuff me up then that’s the goal that’s the goal anyway i’m trying to get under this eightball dog oh man oh man but all right we got to we got to do a little quick warm up and then head to we’re going to start on 13 or 12 12 12 we’re starting on 12 today so starting on the big dog and then um we’re going to be finishing on 11 so you guys are going to be in for a treat today go out there get a little bit more warm and then it’s all she wrote let’s play some golf all right here we go starting on hole 12 we got a par five i think it’s 620 from here 620 yeah we’ll finish on hole 11 all right here we go we got driver we’re going to go little baby cut right at the grand stand here okay that’s well thank you there’s other parts on the club besides besides the sweet spot i tell you what that was probably one of the best opening shots I’ve ever hit in my life bro you know you got to show the rest of the place some love dog you You can’t just hit the sweet spot hey the toe is getting worn out today i tell you that much all right we’re off and running man this is going to be special this is going to be good can’t be upset at a fairway off one no not at all 321 321 downwind 262 covers that very last left bunker what’s the What’s to the front about 297 297 yeah little downwind so if I hit this good could good could good could Yeah this is the new STG I’ll put in the bag it’s a fivewood bent down to a 3-wood so 295 could possibly get it close all I’m looking for is just just get something probably near the front of the green good spot good spot probably got a little bit spinny should be about 40 yards short and ride of that green all right well first hole we get to see this rough push that 3-wood a little bit i mean the thing is it’s about a month away so it’s not going to be as difficult but it’s still pretty dang tough yeah so I mean you can see all that grass right here is going to it’s going to come out tumbling so I got to probably hit this just over the bunker really high really soft wow dude it just gets stopped it’s very similar to Hazeline so high soft one here trying to see if we can get up and down that’s brutal yeah welcome to Oakmont that’s exactly right all right well just pretty a standard pitch here got a decent lie it’s all going to break hard left to right here okay well first we’re getting a look at the rough and second we’re getting a look at these greens how undulated they are i mean I that thing broke like 30 ft right all right so today our goal is to break par so par is 71 today goal is 70 this is for a par to [Applause] start all right all right we’re running off this first hole hey this is going to be an absolute battle good test of golf today a six on a par five doesn’t feel good but it’s going to be a test it’s going to be a big test hole 13 we got 198 plan 208 so I got sixiron hit like a little cuy sixiron in there got to go got to freaking go best round start with the bogey dude yes great reminder you’re welcome yes great reminder best rounds have always started with the bogey here we go [Applause] go oh oh been hitting the gym holy cow looking good got away with the chunk there i did not mean to do that at all woo let’s go baby evan Thompson how does that feel right there big dog sometimes a blind nut blind nut finds a score once in a while you got it pretty straight just downhill huh i like that little right edge side right i like the edge yeah I like that too oh that would have been good oh that was so that was such a good roll that’s what I’m going to trust myself on is just making good rolls cuz that was perfect end over end just barely broke left at the end there all right guys wanted to take a quick break from the action and let you guys know if you’re anything like me if you’re athlete and love to compete I partnered up with the USGA to take you where you want to go in this crazy game that we love as athletes we always like to track our progress and set goals and the best way to do that is a handicap index a handicap index allows you to show up anywhere like Oakmont compete against anybody and play fairly which is why we love this game so much it doesn’t matter if I shoot 72 or my buddy shoots 92 a handicap index is the perfect way to compete anywhere also a handicap index supports every type of golf whether you’re competing in tournaments like myself or casually playing with your friends it scales seamlessly across every part of the game of golf finally we track everything with every other sport so why don’t we track all of our stats with this crazy game of golf all you got to do is download Gen get your handicap and bring that competitive edge to the golf course now let’s get you right back into the action let’s go this is going to be I’m take this round pretty serious so we got US Open qualifying next week locals in Orlando then we’ll move to final if we get through so this is a good test for us to see where our game’s at and you know just going to enjoy it enjoy the group that we have and enjoy being out here the boys and see what happens that’s been my mindset going forward and it’s really been helping so one over through two got a good par4 here let’s run it so I got two iron go with the bread and butter just going to try to push it off the right side here probably stuck in that bunker all right we’re three holes in we’ve got a We’ve got a uh a taste of the rough and now we have a taste of the bunkering on this golf course we’re against the lip 95 hole 85 to carry the bunker i mean really my only hope is to get this up and over and somewhat get it up there close so tough lie see what we can do not much I can do there bro that was pretty tough i mean I’m lucky I even got that up and over so got to got to get a little saucy here on this up and down i found this bunker here just pretty standard one roger hit a great shot in there so his ball is probably a great line so got to get up and down yeah that’s that’s the stuff they came to see right there that’s so good that’s the stuff roger that was for you brother that was for you i needed it too i needed that one let’s go baby this This course is going to showcase all of the all the parts of your game today the tips and tricks whatever nicks and knacks whatever heck you have in your game it’s going to it’s going to bring it out oh soft hands oh dude feel this freaking tension that felt good that felt good all right just a little clean up for the for the par here that was an unbelievable bunker shot but All right thank you appreciate it thank you all right here we go now is where we make our move here one over par through three let’s keep on going baby all right this is pretty brutal par four here 485 we’re playing all two back from the tip so this is uh we’re doing it to ourselves driver in hand nice little cut at that white pole in the background swing up not draw it up any better than that roger that was a sweet spot first one was not that one was that first drive on on 12 was nice sweet spot ball that was centered right there wind off the right could have tried all right really cool thing about this golf course is the church wow church pew bunkers that are out here 15 here and then again on the front n I believe it’s whole six it’s their famous bunkering on the on the fairway that they have pretty special i think I’m going to I’m going to bring out some fun facts for you guys as we play this uh really hard golf course cuz this is a very historic piece of property here um the greatest game of golf was ever played here so we’re going to speak a little bit about that that was pretty cool and also they have yellow boxes around places that you cannot hit so I’ll be moving it back or moving it uh side of all the places that we can’t hit so looks like we got a great approach at in here to a back flag 221 flag i got six irard in my hand wind is just straight off the right so going to trust that wind’s going to move it a little bit left here oh that’s chunk but it’s going to be all right that’s going to be a long long putt fol good miss good miss that’s what you call a strawberry good for pe good for most medium insert Cam Smith clip right now don’t be considered a strawberry so that means a bad shot for him but a good shot for me that’ll be a strawberry all right so I just put in this new putter i’m actually didn’t put it in i’ve just been toying with new putters and it feels good i feel like I’m trying to instead of like smacking the ball I’m trying to just roll like if I’m just Yeah just rolling the ball being athletic with it so uphill putt outside chance for the birdie just put a good stroke on this [Music] that was such a good roll got about what 5t left all right here we go got about 5 ft down the hill got it right center putt here in this last three stretch of holes 16 17 18 off in the right direction feel like I’m hitting it well so got that on just got to get this new putter rolling so 245 stick i got five iron here probably going to hit like a draw try to land on the front and tumble it back there just over yeah i can’t see the ball when it gets that green yeah I can’t i hit five bro there’s no way that’s long let me see no way that’s long that was literally just left of the pen so did you see it yeah you’re off the back oh god all right probably one of probably the best struck yeah we are iron today hit pin high followed all the way back here so now we’re in the rough just off the back here on 16 it’s not the worst this is actually a good spot to be back up the hill it’s going to break hard to my left here so just trying to get it in that uh 3ft circle up there all right here we go outside look for the par chip release pretty good so let’s get this butter hot let’s go we need it come on baby you just let us in baby there we go big time there we go there we go this is the one thing that you guys know I’ve been struggling with is the putter so got to get it rolling i feel like I’m hitting the ball well let’s just get this thing rolling come on that’s a That’s That’s one right there really good momentum there really good putt it’s par4 17 this is a good one to get a circle on the card so just nice stock driver left to the green all right probably I’ll be honest that’s probably right side of the green or just right of the green be all right all right this is going to be very interesting caddy told me to miss left and I missed right paid the price for it shortsided in the rough downhill hope in a prayer right here just a hope and a prayer kind of knew that was coming that was so good thank you bro that was so good bro that was a lot a lot harder than it may seem that was about 6 ft below god dog it this is hard shake bar all right this is a This would be a great par carry that momentum that we just made on the last hole and put it put that mindset into this putt down the hill a little left to right strain it it’s a hair down but eat okay okay we’re good we’re good we’re good that was um That was just missing the wrong spot and if you miss it on the wrong spot Oakmont will kill you that’s a bogey there all right boys here we go hole 18 final hole of this back nine is playing this wind is really picking up off the left brutal brutal hole so I got to hit a good drive here let’s get a birdie on the card right here right now that is absolutely perfect absolutely perfect now we got to capitalize hit a good wet shot in there make a putt come on okay 222 hole i got sixiron in hand wind is really picking up off the left so the flag is 30 paces on so anything short of this pen will be perfect just right of it that wind’s kind of picking up so you can see right when it hit the apex it took it to the right but got a good birdie lug on the last here on 18 all right here we go we got about 40 feet or so on 18 just all back up the hill got to trust myself to hit this hard enough try roll one in here [Music] yep thank you sir appreciate it all [Music] right par i’ll take a par out this is a brutal finishing hole three over par from 12 through 18 so we got some work to do let’s fight let’s keep on fighting all righty here we go hole number one this is where uh DJ made his final move in the 2016 US Open so I’m going to try to do the same thing just really enjoy it really embrace this round 1 through 11 let’s go try to make a move [Applause] here those are the ones where you hit it so bad it ended up being all right so being the right side of the fairway did you guys know that this course Oakmont has hosted the most PJ events and USGA events than any other American golf course you know that no you know I didn’t got to give you guys some some uh learn something new every day type quotes but they’ve hosted more events than any other American golf course that’s pretty insane ball ended up right side of the fairway pretty ideal position this pen is 20 yards downhill so we got 200 playing 180 low into the wind so I’m play like a 190 shot here all right here we go we get another opportunity to work on the short game we’re in this rough we haven’t really figured it out yet but I think I’m going to go with a more like closer faced option here it’s going to break hard to my left so right at Rogers ball I’m going to try to go right there feed it down there get him oh that’s an early call by me thank you i spoke to your ball that’s on me well you helped it probably it was moving pretty fast and then it came up just put on the brakes but got that for par this is This be a good par honestly if you just make pars out here it’s great but you can make really just by playing what seven holes you can rate make really easy bogeies just by being shortsided in this rough um that’s why the cut was 6 over that’s exactly why the cut was 6 over all right got four feet left for the cleanup this is where I put this new setup and new putter this where it pays off right here let’s go let’s go great car Evan great par we do that all day we do that from here on out on the front we’ll be a-ok okay yeah i’m going to hit like that low TE driver that like kind of gets me in play um this hole is only 350 but I’m going to hit like literally watch this watch how low this be so I’m going to tee it up like that high and what that’s going to do is really allow myself to hit down on the golf ball probably going to go like 270ish put myself up for a good look at birdie very nice very nice that’s the fairway finder all right here we go perfect drive there that is the benefit of knowing what you can do off the tee always I would suggest if you guys are struggling te the ball lower and see how you can hit down on it that’ll really get the get the flight down and be able to control it better so I got 84 yards here nice 60° got to play like 90 should spin that’s where you want to place y should spin should be good looked like a dot there partner thank you trying to get these wedges closer i feel like my dispersion in competitive settings needs to be tighter to the pin so that looked pretty good we’ll see if we can roll it in honestly like when when you’re in situations like this Feb when you feel like you’re hitting the ball really well and the putter is just not there what’s the mentality to kind of keep you in it in competitive golf i think for me man it’s really allowing myself to stay patient and like know good things are coming um you know you have those rounds where you can just really just look at the hole and drop it and then you have rounds where you hit it and it just doesn’t go your way so stay patient just know that good things come it’s just a brutal game we play a roll in a ball and a very uneven surface so it’s going to happen so just just stay patient just keep going all right here we go i think our best look one of our best looks for birdie today besides that part three up the hill little right to left come on [Applause] boys let’s go baby come on had to match Roger bro i had to match you that was a birdie though right that was Yeah hey great read great read let’s go come on we off the shoulders make our moves put that nice circle on the card here we go we’ll watch it happen it’s been a while but these at Oakmont don’t come very often that was good move on to hole three now another brutal par4 let’s keep on going it’s like you you show up to the next hole it doesn’t get any easier so we got a long par4 460 on the card playing all the way backs here so got to hit a good drive come on let’s go [Music] absolutely center that is perfect just once you get momentum don’t lose it just keep it and keep on going all right boys we got 154 is playing uphill and into the wind so I’m going to hit nine play like a 170 shot i’m going to try to go just right of that white pole you see in the background it’s a blind shot there’s a lot of them out here and this is a good one so got to make a good committed swing here that’s just left of the white pole that should be all right should be okay we’re going to trust the caddy on the line and the number that’s what we’re going to do we’re going to trust him i mean how how blessed huh truly man i mean to think I’ve only been doing content for a few years and put myself here it just shows what consistency can do if you’re consistent in your craft and your work this is what happens boys just keep going you never One step at a time you’ll look up and you’ll see special places like this so really appreciate you guys you guys’ support if you haven’t already hit the subscribe button we got a lot of awesome special stuff you guys so really really can’t do this without you all right here we go great nine iron in here stayed right of this pin didn’t want to short side myself again so I got about 30 ft low right to left put another good stroke on it here here’s the right side too aggressive on that first putt way too aggressive now I got some work left for the par 6 ft up the hill good read good read i was I was probably going to play more than that but All right good fours there yep good fours there he’s scrapping he’s scrapping all right here we go hole number four the famous church pew bunkering up the left so we’re going to talk about that but I got driver in hand trying to go just right of them would be ideal here let’s hit another fairway go caught the right bunker that’s That’s kind of putting that puck into play anything right of that you’re bringing bunkers into play down that line got you left is good okay you heard the man left is good yep i got seven iron in hand going to hit like a 180 shot nice and smooth actually I’m going to go eight i’m going to go eight so I can just hit a nice stock one here probably in between those couple trees up [Music] there that’s where you told me to hit it so I hope that’s perfect looks good that feels good that was a pretty questionable lie he was sitting down so I’m uh slowly getting better at fairway bunker shots i wasn’t too good when I first started but key to those is pigeon toe your feet when you pigeon toe your feet your lower body is more quiet and you can hit more down on it in the bunker so tip of the day little educational all right here we go 120 hole great layup there pin is back so all I got to do is just carry it over this front bunker and hopefully it’s uh snuggled up next to the whole stock 60 here [Applause] [Music] wow that was pretty fancy i mean did it just came off that slope right there yeah it played off the back rolled down yeah I pushed that big time but I kind of got lucky with that slope so got a good birdie look what in your head Ev makes you think I’m going to take a 60 and get go after it instead of like pulling a 54 and going 3/4 or I think it was like 122 downhill um 108 i was just really looking at the cover number because when it’s downhill I feel like the ball skips a little bit forward so I was trying to hit like a 110 shot and that’s like like my stock 60 is 110 so if I hit it full with the proper spin like it’ll be that number and I think that was pretty much perfect yardage i just pushed it yeah and just pushed it all right pretty much ideal yardage on that wedge shot just pushed it about 20 ft probably going to move a hair to our left so this would be a good bird to go two under on this uh back side here front side oh needed that one man okay we uh got notified we’re going to be hit with weather in about 10 minutes so hopefully squeeze in this hole if not we might have a delay so I got driver just left of that white pole that was ideal there rain’s coming down though what are we going to What are we going to do for the rain are they going to call us in you think it’s right on the edge looks like we got severe weather coming in so what we’re going to do is mark the balls and then calling it we’re gonna hit in the clubhouse and then probably have about maybe two or three hour weather delay so bye we’ll see you guys day we’ll see you guys maybe in three hours cut 20 minutes later had about 15 minutes 20 minutes of a delay walked all the way up here now the sky parted so we’re going to head back head back to our uh pole get back after it and try to complete the round there is some storms coming so try to complete the round before all these storms hit all right we’re back in action no we’re at No we’re not all right here we go 140 playing 138 i got 50° try to throw a dart here hey that was the lightning delay again oh it was pretty sure right Woody bro so I hit when I was supposed to i mean no I wasn’t supposed to hit you should not it’s all right i mean 2 hours later all right here we go about 30 ft up the hill little left to right for the birdie come on [Applause] it’s so hard to get them there when they’re uphill probably what just probably inside inside left here probably not doing too much i like that okay go okay well we’re back from the rain delay little bit little bit of a kind of get the groove going again par there thank you sir appreciate it get us Let’s see hole seven here 78 oh a six i don’t freaking know all right here we go hole number six here absolute brutal par three and then the next par three is 280 I think so doesn’t get any easier we got 215 hole i got sixiron playing like 205 so a little cuy one in there see what we can do here [Applause] [Music] that is what I’m talking about baby wow that was by far the best swing of the day here we go here we freaking go kind of breaking it off around here feet in there yeah I like that all right big putt here this would be a huge birdie on this tough par three put a good roll on it come on get it let’s go baby come on great freaking read i didn’t see that but great read that was amazing all right Chris that was cuz of you you wanted the birdie so I had to give it to you thank you all right move back to one over par trying to fight trying to give ourselves a fighting chance to break par come on baby let’s go all right Paige and uh Roger wanted to go off on a fairy maryland up there so they uh they’re trying to speed up pace of play so we’re hanging back they’re up there we got a par4 i believe it is about 450 from the back so long one here driver in hand try to hit a cut right at those grandstands in the background go go go hard go hard go hard is that over it yeah I think you flew it right by Roger all right god thank you Lord i did not get hit in those bunkers those look deadly ball kicked over the bunker we’re in the rough we haven’t really found the rough much which is great you got to stay out of the rough to score out here so looks like a decent lie but this pin is absolutely brutal we cannot go for it so we’re going to punch it up the left side of the green everything funnels right so I got 50 in hand cut keep cutting keep cutting keep cutting keep cutting go get down there get down there okay that’s literally exactly what we wanted there’s not many times where I can draw up a shot perfectly but we did it there so that pin is absolutely ridiculous if you guys watch the US Open in a month check out that thing cuz nobody’s going to go for that flag at all all right so we’re like 40 ft left but I want you to take you guys through this this is almost illegal in both sides front and back so see three paces he’s one two three literally legal one two three literally exa exactly this is insane it’s like a little peninsula right here that’s where they decided to put the pins all right here we go this is an pretty crazy putt here we’re going to pretty much feed this one down let it ride the slope caddy got me about a foot and a half left speed has to be absolutely perfect from the words of him so let’s try to do that right here god dog i thought that was going to be way faster than that putt actually was all right gave myself a little bit longer than I would like for the park these are the ones that you got to make especially at uh Oakmont here we go left edge like that that’s very frustrating pull away with a great approach shot three putt there bring it back to two over all right I tell you what this is not the hole that you want to tee up a ball after a three putt 300 yard par three i think that’s the first time ever on the channel I’ve said that so we got three-wood in hand all I’m trying to do is carry the bunker with a little bit of a draw so let’s just hope and pray again see what happens here we go all right i think we’re just right at that right bunker i mean that is just an absolute brutal hole for a brutal pin gave ourselves the best possible chance to make a par all right ball just landed over this bunker so just in the rough here drawing a decent lie so have a lot of room to work with so green’s running back to front it’s going to move a little left try to put it [Music] close okay wow i tell you what we made the adjustment going from open face to more of a closed face and it’s really paying off with a lot of room to work with this rough is somewhat manageable so we got a good par look all right here we go up the hill 6 ft 7 ft left for the par this will be big time that broke a hair more than I thought thought it was going to be on that right edge but it kind of snapped right at the end there tell you what these poa greens as we keep going just kind of they wiggle a lot so that brings us two bogeies there three over par we’re going to keep fighting got three holes left par five here got to keep fighting but 74 on this golf course wouldn’t really be too bad the grand scheme of things but we’re going to still fight to uh to shoot even more come on finish strong finish strong be so far up there one thing I always do no matter how I’m playing just always want to finish strong par five here going to go just left the American flag in the background murder [Music] woo all right let’s go baby that was the old no spin toe ball right down the center of the fairway let’s go all right we have another brutal pin it’s like front right so it’d be almost impossible to like stop this golf ball so I’m going to hit like a nice high eight and try to cut it in there just going to stay left of this flag and hopefully have like 30 40 50 ft for eagle here we go sit sit that was literally perfect that looks really good tell you what these uh these Mazuno a lot of dirt on them but the uh S3’s have significantly improved my ball strike and being able to hit high and soft and take take a little bit more spin on it to control it credit Mazuno the that is why right there that was a great shot love that we got this for eagle that’s pretty awesome to say at Oakmont um right to left 50% putt down the hill strain one here let’s knock it in come on that would have been one heck of a three cup out on the right can’t be mad about a tap in birdie but put your bolt on that would have been special broke a little bit more than I thought but shoot pretty good nine honestly I would for all things considered with how I getting used to this new putter we have a uh one under par 35 on this nine so three birdies and two pogies we’ll take it all right little reminder here we started on 12 so we got 10 and 11 to finish so in a tournament like in college I used to always start on scrambles like different holes in one and 10 but we got a brutal par four and then another brutal one coming back so got to hold on strong at two over par right yeah two over yep cuz you’re three over just birdie y Why don’t we have some fun Adam you know three birdie finish let’s do it let’s do it right here i got driver in hand [Music] the driver is working the driver is working today got to hit fairways at Oakmont feel blessed to be hitting this thing right that’s for sure all right this is when you know the driver’s working is when you can’t even They have this uh yellow line blocked off for obviously the US Open so we’re going to I don’t even know where I’m going to put this probably probably right essentially you got to either go backwards or sideways so I think I’m going to probably put it cuz that would put me in a thick rough yeah probably probably right around there you know just right of it so that’s that’s ah it’s f it’s finally a relief to have the driver working especially at a course like this where you have to hit fairways uh it just shows like when you put in work and you are consistent work really hard at it i had like three really good practice sessions with the driver before this so feels good feels really good all right so taking our ball directly in line and just we’re just going to place it here so we’ll be obviously they’re protecting a lot of the middle of the fairways but also like runoff areas near the green so being a little bit of a rough here but shouldn’t be any problem i would say like a 50 55 shot i think a full pitching wedge cuz it doesn’t look I mean what is that like three paces from the back yes probably yes so maybe just play it short and let it release down there it that’s usually the play all right right to left front to back okay all right i got pitching wedge here going to play like a 150 155 shot should be a nice stock one here we go all right we’ll take it we did not want to go long and we certainly didn’t do that but 30 ft on this course I will take it that I You guys are going to see how bad this bin is it’s literally probably another three or four paces from the uh from the back all right here we go got about 40 ft this is exactly where I want it to be long would be dead so it’s going to sink really hard right to left so see if we can put a good roll on it here this would be a great birdie [Applause] go go go ball go ball go oh oh it didn’t go in its home i’m sorry i’m sorry why didn’t it go in your home i’ll go tell them i’m sorry why didn’t it go in your home dude that was actually an incredible putt though man really good read all the above can’t be mad at a putt like that i mean you can but you can’t you know good old two in i love that story of my life all right we’ll take the par there thank you thank you last hole remaining two over par finished with a 73 birdie here would put us at 72 so it’s par on most courses yeah you got that right all right here we go final hole of the day this is a pretty funky pretty funky hole you know you got to there’s a ditch up there and you just want to crest the top of the hill so I got two iron get like a 280 shot here really just focus on good strike and end this round off strong this would be a great round if we bird this one come on let’s go [Applause] yep it’s going to run probably be on the right side of the fairway kind of try to jaw it a little bit just stay straight on me though should be in a good spot all right here we wanted to lay up short of this ditch that they had they have this running all throughout the fairway all up there to I guess nine or 10 but um we got pretty much a stock 60 here i got to send this one way up in the stratosphere like Kyle does and hopefully come down soft i think it’s just really deep 30 ft 30 ft 30 ft oh Kyle says it’s 30 ft so we got to look at birdie on the last go birdie par birdie to end the day i will take it tried to stay positive out here when things didn’t go my way so it kind of worked out but oh it’s been a grind literally a almost a 6-h hour round we’ve been grinding out here trying to uh before I really interrupt no I was just saying we just it’s just been one heck of a day man just absolutely blessed and honored to be out here so got to look at bird nonetheless let’s make it happen all right here we go final putt hopefully of the day 30 ft down the hill this is going to be a tricky one goes to right and then comes back left at the end let’s channel that uh who uses this putter keith Mitchell let’s channel that Keith Mitchell right here that one fooled both me and the Caddy there i did not have it going four feet right but I was perfect pace you can’t ask for much better pace than that that was the one thing about this putter was the other one that I was playing came off really hot and this one comes off a little bit softer off the face so tap that in boys tap it in all right here we go final putt it’s about 3 ft left one heck of a round today wish we made burl birdies but man two over par can’t ask for much better than that [Music] oh [Music] baby that’s basically the story of my life man that’s what I should have did on the first one tell you what if there’s anything that sums up my golf game it’s that right there give myself opportunities and then three putt there but hey 74 on this golf course we did not break par that was our goal but couldn’t couldn’t ask for much much better than that like I the way I’ve been striking the ball if we get this thing rolling I think we’re going to be
