Rick Shiels & BustaJack Golf Challenge Evan Thompson to a Golf Match – The Duels: Virginia

all right guys welcome to the Live Golf YouTube channel we’re here in Virginia at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club unbelievable venue
absolutely
and to match up with the venue we have some unbelievable golfers on my right
evan Thompson
almost so close to qualifying to the US Open
so close
me and Mason are going to play a shamble versus Evan so the shambble is we all tee off we choose the best ball between us
but then we play our ball out from there
yeah yeah yeah all right here we go this is a This is a great starting hole dog leg right par4 471 on the card so I got driver in hand try to pipe it right down the middle yeah great ball
yeah that’s nice
that’s hit hard dude
you got
That’s hit really hard
yeah it’s money
holy Got a little kick too
i will not be catching that little bit of Robert Trent Jones member bounce there
if you’re a member at this place you’re doing pretty good Evan if you’re a member here you’re doing pretty good oh there’s the draw
got that thing dialed
i could do with that little members bounce
hey now you can go for the green
oh they give that little members bounce
see Evans you couldn’t see it down mine is You can see it the big
Good ball Mason that’s perfect hey fair you Hey you freed Rick up to go for it
you hit that a long way i mean there’s no excuse not getting your alignment right off these stripes nice Rick
boy Rick oh I like that flat one
okay oh I think Mason I think he got you
oh he definitely got him
woo look at that teamwork
hit the ball hit the ball hit the ball holy cow
dude it What a team
this might be a deadly team right here
all right we’re off and running that is Let’s go
winner or losers jump in the lake
nope nope nope nope nope nope
let’s do it yep loser’s jump in the lake we’re on it that’s a deal
we’ve got it if we can’t beat it
listen listen it’s 2v1
the reason I suggested shamble is because I like my chances if I’m in play
so it gave us a better chance
i’m saying like genuinely we can’t beat him then either he’s really good or we are really bad
so as we said it’s a shamble rick and I we both hit our drives and we choose the best one so that’s the advantage we’re giving ourselves it’s only 60 front edge
okay so you want to hit like a 170
you like a 70 shot
yeah cuz it’s a little bit into breeze i think it’ll stop a little bit
what are you going to hit seven that’s lovely be the number rick Shields rick Shields thank you is that full if it’s not blowing I want to hit eight just cuz it’s firm but I’m going to hit seven trying to hit the exact same shot really oh hook for me daddy that’s awful i’m gonna get that up and down it’s a good opportunity to get it up and down in it
right in the cart tire line so I’m good here but got 165 i got nine try a little play a little draw in there thank you sir
all right that’ll work there i think we’re just in the fringe but we got to putt at it can’t move the ball at all out of this rough thank you did well from there better than I did from the middle of the fairway hit a massive block see sounded a little bit chunky
that was thin
six holes here going to be definitely interesting to see how they score but looks like they got Rick on the green
awful golf shot but an opportunity to get up and down one-handing it get it close for Rick and let him make a run at birdie [Music] sit
sit
that’s impressive bro didn’t hit the fairway but we hit the green so got a little gur on the first this is going to be pretty quick and tarping a lot to the left so need this one gave it a chance we gave it a chance go
oh oh my gosh great roll all right team secures the board yep yeah good roll baby
big time all right
i mean this doesn’t matter but I’m No it doesn’t matter at all
for fun
tie tied the first that’s all I wanted to do just kind of take it from there and kind of win each battle as we go
might have won the battle but you will not win the war evan Thompson that’s fun man
my four looked exactly like both of theirs did you i just want you to appreciate so that’s the first green look at this just spin around this side this is the next tea box this is a putting green back in the UK i bet the stimp on this tea box is faster than most putting greens back home at the moment unbelievable venue
all right Rick if I end up winning we have to do a match at the next live course
okay in Dallas
deal yeah in Dallas all right deal got it jeez that’s like valuable [Music] ah try to catch that little wind off the left but it stayed straight we did that twice in a row that was pretty consistent at least [Music] that’s pretty much just standard for me oh that’s perfect
wow let it eat Rick i know you try to get after that but that’s fine cuz Mason is perfect
okay second shot middle of fairway 130 yards to the pin you can land it left and it kicks right
yeah i wonder You think it’ll still kick some draw spin to the right
i’m going to go just left of it oh perfect moving a little right keep going draw it at all it doesn’t kick i kind of hit it into the hill
and I got the number two go would you look at that right next to each other
all right here we go left rough again pretty common theme on these first two holes but I got a short number in 120 i got a little knockdown 54 try to put it inside Mason and Rick’s ball here oh that could be nice oh no going to catch the slope that’s fine
that’s a good shot it’s all right thought I was going to release a hair harder but we’re in a good spot all right here we go this one feels good really good up the hill then down turning a little right good effort great effort Ed come on Rick let’s see if I can get closer to the Evans [Music] about the same distance just a little farther
all right so that was fast
that was fast i guess I could go pretty high and just drip it huh i hammered it Rick
oh man we got some work to do
gives you a little glimpse of how tough these greens are going to be they said they’re going to get them to 15s on the step meter on Friday all right big putt here got left edge try to hit a little bit better putt than our first one yeah good roll
nice thank you
throwing the pressure back on us
just making a little bit more entertaining for you right there lovely Rick
okay
that was never going to miss that
both teams level a par through two we’re on to a 500y par four coming up next
this golf course is not easy so pars are pretty good
par is the par is a great score this might be the highest scoring live golf tournament of the calendar year I would say
par four slight dog leg right 497 yards for most golf courses that’s a par five
try to bleed it off the left a little bit control the fade so here we go got the big stick oh hang on
wind might just help out a bit
sit down bunker
should be able to have a shot in there there’s the fade we’re looking for it and finally overcooked one
that tree limb is right in my wheelhouse which one which one
that one
okay
it’s right where I’m looking jaylen looked up there
so tall i didn’t know
no I like that one’s right in it all right well it’s right in your wheelhouse
it’s right where I was looking
that’s perfect
thank you not very far Rick but it’ll work dude you called your shot i did i know hey
follow your teammate that’s a good move
i hit like a T
but that helped you that helped your club out there
that was good
you guys are just twinning all day today
i mean Rick
I didn’t I didn’t rip it
no but I mean we’ve hit it right next to each other
two out of three drives you can park your cart right in between your ball and both get out
i wish we coach
yeah no kidding that one was a tad bit raw well we’re just exploring the whole course right now we got the rough covered we don’t have the fairway covered yet so 167 yds slightly into a breeze
it’s kind of heavy
pins at the front
yeah I think you go at the three and draw it in
try to hit like a flight at the eight iron stop turning stop turning stop
right there right there right there right there right there down down down down down rick tough i wanted to hit it straighter than that i’m going to try and just hold it into that number three
yeah I love that wind
get it wind
wind oh that’s annoying all right here we go found the bunker here and these bunkers are pretty much hitting out of a perfect lie every time these things are pristine i got 150 i’m going to go nine iron here little into the wind hit a good one here lock in lock in ah that is left of left sit sorry pretty much as left as you could possibly hit a nine iron that’s what we did that’s the tendency there is to try to pick it clean and get the arms working faster than the body and then it’s just quick left got about 30 yards we’re almost on the uh 4ft T box here but it’s honestly not a bad place to chip from if I was to miss a shot it’d be here that’s a shame just calls for chipping it’s all it does just calls for chipping okay so I just found the bunker after a weak iron shot i should have hit seven iron really instead of eight uh little tricky yardage but I’m here for it try all right one hand i’ve got to fly this I think just on but I got to hit it pretty soft i mean it’s incredible that’s so good
it rolled out a lot but thank you
he chipping in one hand you got to be confident he just wants to make it ah pretty elite class of short game going on here all right we’re in for five
we are in for five i will give that to you
pretty sure Mason’s making that he just told me his best part of his game is putting so I’m going to believe him in that regard oh all right so we’re in for five right
in for six there this should be big huh two shot lead just going to I’m just going to listen to this drop in cuz I know it’s going to go in so I’m just going to listen two shot lead two shot they just don’t break best so fast they don’t break we got a one shot lead Rick
okay fourth hole par three 207 yards to carry the bunker is about 190 what was the pin 210
210 wind helping you going to go six
i’m going seven
well it’s downwind
is five too much then
i think so because I think if you just look to carry the number it’ll
You go first
okay what do I know i don’t know anything oh sling that bad boy
no it’s not good one that’s going to work though wow what a shot there we go
what a golf shot dude thank you
i mean that thing started right up the bunker ended up on the green
welcome to the Mason Nut experience baby
it’s pretty nutty there Rick i think six is money go oh sick
oh man you cured that ball them new irons coming
seven iron
i nearly had five
oh my god
i said go those new workouts are paying off there Rick
that’s what it is
i got seven in my hand pretty much a stock one right at the four in the background it’s going to do what Mason’s did i know it’s going to be better
you n it oh
it’s going to be a bit more you
n it jeez you know what I realized now putting on these cuz I never play greens this fast when they’re this fast they hold their line for so long so you don’t have to take it out of the hole
like I puted that ball right edge it rolled end over end and hit the right edge
yeah and also it depends on what your mindset is of where you’re trying to drop it in you’re dropping it in so hard
yeah and I put it I putt pretty firmly
i’m guessing we’re taking yours
oh I forgot
taking yours out
yeah we’re shambling rick and I actually get to take my tea ball it’s not going to be easy though these greens are fast you got to get used to them this feels like much more of a scramble now
yeah I know is that going to move so hard
is that too much or No
okay okay i see i think No I think Yeah I think it’s out the shadow of the flag the least okay got
to get It’s uphill but it’s fast man
and it’s downwind beautiful beautiful touch of glass
thank you thank you
well we’re in for three Rick so I mean I’ll take that oh that was sick that’s the godfather of YouTube right there
right i can have a run at this even though it shouldn’t really change my mindset pretty dang good [Music] oh great you’re playing with the
You guys are doing the same thing
you are playing against
two of the best pters on YouTube that is fair
they’re in for par you know I’m only one down that was a pretty sloppy double but just got to hold on strong try to get up and down here greens are getting firm and I think they’re going to try to play as hard as possible this week so really just trying to get a two putt get a bogey and get out of here right here i’ll give you that one
yeah they’re like firming up because it’s
all right two up two to go
is this par five
par five pretty much exactly what you guys wanted nice lead going in two holes here
oh I forget we only have two holes left it is stroke play though anything could happen anything could happen
if we both spray one we’re in trouble all right par five dog leg right but I am not trying to cut it just trying to hit it over the bunker only 240 to cover so should be okay good little left to where I wanted it but go get it Rich
whenever you free him up
he stripes it so here we go all right all right mason’s up there all right that’s all right
yeah you can take it over everything huh
i know you can go so far right that’s what I was trying to do
all right pretty much need two circles on the card to compete with these boys so try to put the pass behind me and hit a good one here come on columbus keep cut oh first cut
first cut we’ll take it let’s see let’s see how far that one went that was pretty close about a yard and a half yep that’s it ooh 337 mind of a goldfish there yep coming off a double and a bogey but next shot is your best shot that was a good one there tell you what this is going to be a hole that I’m going to watch at uh Live Virginia this is a good good par five if you hit a good T- ball you can take advantage if not got to scramble makes it really tough
all right Rick the people should get used to this duo right here huh
i know
duels Virginia coming soon
we need to be uh I think we need to be playing in the next one

in my opinion I think the DS is only going to get better
255 really
yeah it’s getable hey that’s a great layup oh you thought I was go the green you got it i’m
trying to slam it into the face of the bunker and have it pop out
all right just a little right’s not terrible huh wow that sucked watch that down for me all right here we go boys just caught this first cut at rough pretty good drive 220 hole i got sixiron in my hand little downwind need a good one here absolutely need it more than ever you’re right you’re right Paul oh yeah

you just hit the shot of the day uh-oh
this is not good Rick rick this is not good brother
okay third shot for my tactical layup however I’m a little bit worried because Evans put that tremendously close i’m about one I can’t remember what Mason said 130
131 up to 138
what
i’m going to hit a gap wedge i’m going to put it about 2 foot away from the pit we got a thumbs up
we do man it’s what we do
oh dude oh that is a golf shot Alec yeah that’s money
pretty much let’s see down by two two holes to go they’re all playing their own ball now so
it’s a big putt for you now
this is a huge putt and a huge couple shots coming up for the boys pushed it pretty good
it’s not terrible but trying to go make a birdie but Rick’s already in doesn’t really matter that’s an incredible four
hey Rick way to put the team on your back right there thank you thank you
you know way to put the team on your back
isn’t it and he’s It’s not like work carrying Mason
yeah this is a big putt here
big bird
this could change a lot of things and this could do a lot of a lot of things to a lot of different people in a lot of different ways so Yeah good bird
all right well wasn’t the big bird but we got the small one that was a great bird Rick
nice appreciate
one more to go baby
we’re not shambling the last mason
make it fun par four dog leg right 432 yds
good golf hole here bunkers down the right rough left kind of bends a little right
final hole of the match
i’m even changing the automation
yeah I know this could get squirly dude that could actually that could be perfect that could be on hole whole uh seven fairway
it’s good
i think he knows this golf course more than anybody is that really good
it might be fine it’s going to be had a missing left
do you want me to cut one oh you can’t miss left
you don’t want to miss left
i’m still going to cut it a it’s so good
that is an absolute beauty Mason
thank you that is an absolute beauty
thank you that’s like That’s like a slice for you great
that one cut like 20 yards for me here we go
down by two last hole remaining pretty much need a circle cut yeah i think it’s going to be all right that night
yeah great
i think I I think I hit it so bad it might be all right that was bad
yeah that was bad wasn’t our best performance through five holes but hope you guys enjoyed this appreciate live golf and Mason’s pretty much green light right here and I’m in this rough somewhere okay we’re in a bit of trouble here on the right hand side i was hoping I was so far right I was on that fairway but I’m not i’m in the kind of rough on the seventh hole um I’ll be honest with you I can’t go over it can’t go under it so we’re going to go through it how was it okay take two i mean you did pretty well there
i got it through the gap I was going for
that rough this stuff is gnarly
they’re in a team game today so pretty much been all ham and no egg with them they’ve just been playing the same so I got 130 pretty much he need a a great shot here blocked out by these left trees gonna go up and over them and see what we can do got a putt at it that’s all we can ask for got over the trees that was our first goal there on the green is the second one
people on YouTube have not come to expect this but new driver me 120 actually don’t love the yardage i’m just going to like chip a 54 in there thank you i love that from the gallery thank you
mason a good one
okay impossible shot but we’ll see what happens i saw no other outcome i might pick pick it up on this leave it to Mason
could have asked for a better shot but we’ll take it from there uh Mason hit an absolute dart so we’re going to try to roll this in to end it off with a little cherry great roll there
that’s good good roll four from the roof all right move right to left here this would be a great birdie doesn’t turn red now I’m nervous evan is this good or what that’s good dude I wouldn’t have given this
so what we doing three more
yeah three more
all right
three more rick Shields basically gives me a favor today and extends the match three more holes just for you guys entertainment at its finest 789 let’s run it in here
right three holes Evan on the back so there’s a par four
par four par five and a beautiful par three really dude i’m overreading these greens Rick
yeah you are
like
you said that you said that I was going to read
i know
i don’t think you read them
are we going back to shamble
yeah shamble
shamble sure i love it
okay seventh hole power force like dog leg left unbelievable hole um fairway is key if you’re not in the fairway this pin’s tucked right behind the bunker it’s hard to control so you’ve got ideally got to be on the fairway oh Rick all right oh Rick driving a little bit hey Mason has been an absolute demon off the T- boxy shake
here we go it does just ride that bunker anything that started on six i’m not going to lie to you that started on 06
that’s the fairway finder
holy cow
aim it right and sling it
i mean you’ve hit pretty much every fairway so far
yeah the only one I missed was the far five
but that’s just cuz it rolled out through yeah
man you are freaking balling right now i got driver as well all right i’m okay we got the thumb we got the thumbs up
all right there we go we got one to the right we got one to the left on last hole now next one in the middle you never
draw it
uh not really
if we can meet in the middle oh my goodness we’d be some good golfers 133 cover what would you play this Rick 50 yeah cuz honestly you’ve got a beautiful back stop just behind
55
no no land at the distance of the flag
okay
but it’ll just run up and come back down
got you i over it there’s no upper body right there putting started too far left rick cut and pipe
really fancied that as well i forgot what I just really love that look
no I loved it too
should be right around here somewhere
oh thank you Robert
thank you Robert friendly bounce out of Robert Trent Jones got 152 i got pitching wedge low end of the wind fly it past the hole hopefully it comes back in there oh no kick left hard kick left hard oh yeah go go go go go go that was the Trent there
yeah the first T- ball was Robert throwing it back in play that one was Trent the next one’s going to be Jones in the hole
wow yeah that’s good stuff live golf guys in the league hit it right on hole seven and it’ll funnel right back to the pin just off the green um big slope get behind me here m have a good look
i got you i guess we can’t rick Shields the Godfather
boom
come on baby
holy that was awesome that was a dagger ricks been more like breaking 70 than breaking 75 today huh
that’s a pick up on the left
all right this is a uh absolute slider of a putt
pretty much all downhill it’s going to move a little bit right so got to trust it here thank you sir
you done
could have let you get away with that one
where did you say you landed
i landed it right off the roof that was uh Robert Trent
Jones what a bird there keeps us in it two back with two to go come on baby let’s go that’s just gorgeous
high five
big one 600 yd oh driver what you missing here comes big old Mason Nut little draw right down the middle every time
all right Rick
just side to side okay
i mean it’s lit down it’s so easy easiest t-shot on the golf course
jeez
little downwind I think here huh
yeah I think so sayanara look at that thing boomerang dude you are on an absolute tear right now
had to get it in the fairway
that’s in out at about 10 and a half Rick
all right so I try to do the opposite of that i try to keep it as straight as possible mason tries to play the whole golf course try to hit a straight ball here try to put it right by Mason’s don’t do that oh brother dude stay in the fair as hard as possible go that is a long way
that was Oh yeah that’s nice
i try to use the the contour of the hole try to hit it straight and Mason just Hey it don’t matter the ball went in the almost the exact same spot mason that little draw oh I try to hit it straight
oh you didn’t go for the nutter butter rick dude it’s all right it’s literally in my name
no I’m good thank you i don’t eat junk food gotcha hey he helped Rick out there that’s a snap book if I’ve ever seen one right there that was a 50 yard snap but there is no Robert no Tren or no Jones it was just a snap trent Jones snapper snapper Jones
snapper hook Jones hook snapper Jones
robert Snap Jones
i only have 257 with the slope i’ve got to like flare cut a mini driver for it to be the right distance but we’re just looking to get somewhere green side here really nice
that a good miss
oh I kicked left Rick i know i tried to cut it up against the wind but the tree kind of feels like in the way if you’re trying to cut it too much though
i’m going to try and bend it that’s what happens when the two drawers try and fade it
that’s right
that’s what you just try and do all the time just hit cuts i’ve been covering the right side of the holes mason’s been covering the left side of the holes i got five from 237 pretty much stock one here wind off the right a little down let’s hit a good one should be in the right spot that is what you call no hips and all arms okay pin high but in the heavy thick stuff mason’s in the bunker evan’s just off the side of the green i’m going to have to just send this up to the sky and hope and pray oh it just hit that down slow oh man wasn’t far off pin high left to the hole and let it maybe drip back down that slope or pop it out short i’m going to go for the shorter option in case I hit it a little too hard come back come on come on thank you
mason’s balling right now shout out to him i got a pitch here um it’s so crazy like you probably saw Rick slide this rough is insane so I’d really just got to just pop it out and hopefully trick it on down there oh go in go in [Music] let’s go
oh man
i just did a car i don’t know how that was even possible
i called it
at the top of the hill
wow
i said go in
i don’t think I’ve ever been more athletic in my life

i just got way too excited
that was Yeah that was gymnastics and golf in one
jeez now I have to make it or else we’re tied what a shot what we say we just got to enjoy life right there
eagle so what’s that getting back to
back to the even par
it was great watching it from here
oh I bet to be fair I would have had the same reaction if I made that
what the cartwheel
everything well not the cartwheel but just all of it actually missed the cartwheel oh that’s nice Rick
oh stop your head come back come back imagine if you not got left there oh my goodness
this is going to make it so you’re fine
if he doesn’t make it

one shot in it with one to play
an eagle
on a 600 yardd hole that’s pretty nice nice you had to make it on that one
yeah let me cartwheel
no no no yeah can we get some You don’t want to see that
