OH. MADE IT. CLUTCH. THE U.S. OPEN. I MEAN, THE CROWDS, JUST, THEY FLOWED, THEY WERE FROTHY OUT HERE TODAY. IT IS A GREAT SPORTS TOWN. HERE IS A GUY THAT LOVES THE GAME. JOHNSON, WAGNER, WAGS, PINEHURST A YEAR AGO. THAT WAS MEMORABLE TO SAY THE LEAST. NOW, DOWN AT 18. WE THIS OTHER PHENOMENAL MOMENT. >> PHENOMENAL MOMENT SORT OF WAS A THROW BACK MOMENT — 64 FEET, 5 INCHES, ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE THINGS ABOUT J.J.SPAUN’S WEEK HE AVOIDED BOGEYS ALL WEEKLONG. DOWN HERE, THERE HAS BEEN FOOT TRAFFIC HERE AS YOU MIGHT OF EXPECTED OVER A LITTLE BIT. THIS PUTT WAS AMAZING. STRAIGHT UP THE HILL ON THE RIDGE. ONCE IT IS ON TOP. IT WAS SCREAMING DOWNWIND. OBVIOUSLY, YOU SAID IT GREAT WHEN VIKTOR HOVLAND AND ONE OF THE BEST BREAKS, THERE IS NO BARGAIN OF A TWO-PUTT. PROBABLY 11 FEET OUTSIDE OF THE LEFT HAND EDGE AND HIT IT WITH THE RIGHT PACE. MAYBE. LESS IS SHORT. I AM DISAPPOINTED IN MYSELF. WHAT AN AMAZING U.S. OPEN FINISH. CAN NOT BELIEVE WE GOT IT IN. I MEAN THE USGA DID A NICE JOB. MIKE MCCORMICK AND HIS STAFF, THE GOLF COURSE IS STOKED. THEY GOT IT IN. MOTHER NATURE WAS NOT STOPPING J.J.SPAUN TODAY, THAT IS FOR SURE. >> WHAT DID YOU THINK OF J.J.SPAUN? >> I MEAN, TO BE 5 OVER PAR THROUGH SIX HOLES I WILL BE HONEST, I WAS COUNTING HIM OUT OF THE GOLF TOURNAMENT. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GET THAT RESET OF A RAIN DELAY, YOU GET TO GO BACK INSIDE, COLLECT YOUR THOUGHTS, GO BACK OUT, REWARM UP ON THE RANGE. IF YOU ARE PLAYING GREAT YOU WOULD NEVER WANT A DELAY. A FUNK, COME BACK OUT ON THE EIGHTH HOLE, MAKING THE BIRDIES ON THE BACK 9, UNBELIEVABLE. I AGREE WITH YOU GUYS, I THINK J.J.SPAUN AND THE RYDER CUP I CAN NOT IMAGINE ANYONE NOT WANTING TO BE THE PARTNER. >> HE HAS BEEN DOING DOUBLE DUTY ALL WEEK. GETTING UP IN THE MORNING AND DOING A GREAT JOB AND WITH WORKING WITH US. WHO DO YOU LIKE, WAGS, YOU SAID SCOTT WOULD BE A PHENOMENAL STORY, NOTHING AGAINST SAM BURNS BUT FEEL LIKE J.J.SPAUN WILL GET IT DONE. IF I SAID TO YOU HE WOULD HIT HALF OF THE FAIRWAYS, NOT GET A SINGLE ONE OF THEM UP AND DOWN AND HE IS GOING TO WIN THE GOFF TOURNAMENT, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE SAID? >> I WOULD OF SAID YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. OAKMONT PREVAILED. TURN TESTED. FABRIC OF THE CULTURE HERE AT THE CLUB. SINCE THE FOUNDING BACK OVER 100 YEARS AGO. AND, YOU KNOW, SEEING THE MAINTENANCE STAFF THE OTHER NIGHT, THEY WERE PROUD, THERE WERE ONLY A COUPLE GUYS UNDER PAR, THEY ENDED THE TOURNAMENT WITH ONE GUY UNDER. FIRM, RAINING, OR SUNNY AND DRY. I THINK OAKMONT IS A SECONDARY CHAMPION HERE THIS WEEK BEHIND J.J.SPAUN. >> YOU SPOKE LAST NIGHT, WAGS, YOU MADE A LOT OF FRIENDS ON THAT GREEN STAFF. YOU ARE POPULAR IN THERE. HAVE YOU BEEN INVITED IN AT THE END OF THE WEEK? I AM SURE THEY WILL HAVE A BIT OF A PARTY GOING ON. >> I NOW, I KNOW YOU LIKE A LITTLE TIPPLE EVERY NOW AND THEN. >> WHAT IS A “TIPPLE”? >> I DON’T KNOW. [ LAUGHTER ] >> YOU WILL GO IN THERE
