>> IT’LL BE NICE TO JORDAN SPIETH JUMP ARTIST 2024 SEASON. IF HE IS GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE, RANDALL. >> L THE FLOW OF IS A STROKE. UPTICK, POP, NICE WAY TO START THE DAY. BIRDIE AT THE FIRST. THOSE ARE PRETTY RARE. THIS IS
SUCH A GOOD SHOT, WE WILL SEE IT HERE ANY MINUTE. MY GOODNESS. DRIVER OF THE DECK, YOU DO NOT SEE THAT OFTEN. BECAUSE THE HEADS ARE SO BIG. >> THIS IS FROM 252 YARDS UP THE HILL TO GET TO 16 UNDER. NOW THE 14th.
>> THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SHOTS AND THIS IS THE REASON I TALKED ABOUT THE MYTHICAL MAN JORDAN SPIETH. HE HIT CLOSE TO THE BALL, LONG BUNKER SHOT, MOST GUYS PLAYED THE FENCE. HE PLAYED OFFENSE AND HIT CLOSE
TO THE BALL AND PUT SPIN ON IT TO THIRD PAST THE HOLE. AND THERE YOU GO. MISS ONE, THE THING ABOUT HIM IS HE HITS SO MANY SHOCKINGLY GOOD AND BAD SHOTS IN THE COURSE OF AROUND. HE WILL HAVE A THREE OR FOUR
TIMES THAT HE SHOT YOU IN A GOOD WAY AND IN A BAD WAY. >> DUNK THEM AND OCCASIONALLY CHUNK THEM. >> YEAH. BUT HE’S WORTH EVERY PRICE AND PENNY OF ADMISSION. >> JUST AN INCREDIBLE APPROACH HERE AT THE 18th.
THAT WAS TO GET INTO A TIE FOR THE LEAD. >> SECOND CONSECUTIVE ROUND, SIX OR 67, JORDAN, 51 CONSECUTIVE HOLES WITHOUT A BOGEY. AGAIN, JUST TO REMIND YOU. MASSIVE FAIRWAYS, MASSIVE GREENS. CERTAINLY DOABLE HERE BUT HE IS
ONLY A COUPLE OF SHOTS BACK, RANDALL. >> I SEE A LOT OF GOOD STUFF, IT IS WORTH TO GO OUT AND TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HE DID ON THE FIRST GREEN. IT IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THEY ONE HE MADE OVER 100 FEET OF PUTTS.
DAY TO COME OVER 100 FEET OF PUTTS. DAY THREE, HE MADE OVER 100 FEET OF PUTTS AND OF COURSE 25 FEET AND CHANGE WAS RIGHT HERE AT THE FIRST HOLE. IN A FIELD OF 59, THE GREENS ARE PERFECT. NOBODY IS MAKING A HIGHER
AMOUNT AVERAGE OF PUTTS AND THIS IS CREATIVITY. LOOK, 173 OFF THE DECK. 173 BALL SPEED OFF THE DECK. TRYING TO GET IT UP THE HILL AND CUT IT AND JUST MIND- BOGGLING GOOD STUFF FROM JORDAN SPIETH RIGHT THERE. AT THE 16th AGAIN.
THIS IS RIGHT UP THE HILL. THE OPPOSITE PUTT THAT HE HAD AT THE FIRST. THE FIRST WAS DOWNHILL. YOU GOT TO BE CAREFUL YOU DO NOT RUN IT PAST THE PALE. BE CAREFUL YOU NOT LEAVE IT WELL SHORT. EVEN HERE THE 18th.
THIS IS JORDAN JUST BEING AN ARTIST. HAVING A LITTLE FLAIR. TRYING TO CUT INTO THE BANK. IF YOU WANT TO GET CLOSE YOU WILL RISK SHORT SIDING YOURSELF AND THAT IS A DIFFICULT PITCH TO GET IT UP AND DOWN.
THAT TELLS YOU THAT HE IS REALLY IN THE MOMENT. I PERSONALLY DO NOT LIKE IT WHEN IT IS SHUT AND BY THE WAY, HE HAS MORE — YOU KNOW THERE WAS A TIME WHEN HE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TIER SPEED WISE
AND IT IS INCHING UP THERE FOR HIM. >> JORDAN TURNED 30 IN JULY, TWO KIDS AND THERE IS A SENSE THAT THIS IS A CRUCIAL PERIOD IN HIS CAREER. HIS LAST CAREER AND WAS ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO. YOU ARE GETTING ON SEVEN YEARS.
THIS WAS A HISTORICALLY GREAT, YOUNG PLAYER, WINNING THOSE THREE MAJORS. YOU KNOW HE’S ITCHING TO GET BACK AND JORDAN HAS BEEN COMING TO MAUI FOR A LONG TIME. USUALLY HE’S CHILL COMING UP THE BEACH AND HAVING A LOT OF FUN.
HE SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN JORDAN WORK AS HARD AS HE HAS BEEN WORKING THE LAST WEEK. >> IS EASY TO THINK THERE’S ALWAYS TOMORROW OR NEXT YEAR BUT TIME FLIES. HE’S IN HIS PRIME. JACK WAS A MORE PROLIFIC WINNER
THAN NICHOLAS WAS NOT PERIOD FROM ’72 TO ’74. TIGER WAS MORE PROLIFIC IN 2005 2008 THAN HE WAS AND 98 AND 2000. THAT IS RIGHT WHERE JORDAN IS. EXPERIENCE MATCHES VERTICALLY WITH THE PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES. WE LOVE TO SEE THEM GO ON ANOTHER RUN.
OBVIOUSLY YOU JUST ALLUDED TO THIS. >> BACK IN 2016 HE WON 30 UNDER BY EIGHT. NOW ANOTHER LONGHORNS THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. >> THE KEEP COMING. >> SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER. >> YES. HE DIDN’T GET OFF TO THE BEST OF STARTS.
THAT THREE PUTT AT THE SEVENTH DROPPED HIM DOWN TO EVEN PAR. BOGEY THE 8th. DID BOUNCE BACK WITH A BIRDIE THE 9th AND THIS WAS A RARE BRIGHT SPOT ON THE GREENS FOR SCOTTIE TODAY WHO HAD PUTTED PRETTY DARN WELL FOR THE FIRST
TWO ROUNDS, IN PARTICULAR IN THE SECOND BUT TODAY WAS A DIFFERENT STORY. THIS HAS BECOME A PRETTY EXCITING TEE SHOT OVER THE YEARS AS WE GO BACK, REMEMBER DUSTIN JOHNSON ALMOST MAKING A HOLE IN ONE IN THE FINAL ROUTE
TO SORT OF A RUNAWAY VICTORY. SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER A COUPLE TIMES HAS MANAGED TO AVOID THAT BUNKER, DOWN THERE ABOUT 50 YARDS SHORT OF THE GREEN AND GETS IT TO RUN TO THE BACK RIGHT PORTION OF THE GREEN. BUT DID NOT HIT A PARTICULARLY
GOOD PITCH BUT STILL MANAGED TO MAKE THE BIRDIE. AND THEN HERE AT THE 18th. AFTER KNOCKING ON THE GREEN IN TWO. . >> IS 34 PUTTS 35 TO AMEND WHAT WE SAID EARLIER BUT STILL WE LOST MORE THAN TWO SHOTS TO THE
FIELD, STROKES GAINED, PUTTING AFTER HAVING BEEN ON THE PLUS SIDE OF THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS. AND NOW HE HAS ANSWERED THOSE QUESTIONS YET AGAIN. YOU ALLUDED TO HAVING TO CONSTANTLY TALK ABOUT A WEAKNESS THAT COMES WITH THE TERRITORY. MOSTLY POSITIVE TALK.
NOW HE HAS ANSWER THE QUESTION, DO YOU STILL FEEL GOOD ABOUT WHICH WERE WORKING WITH? >> IT HAS TO WEAR ON YOU AFTER A WHILE. LIKE WHEN TIGER WOODS IS JUST ANNIHILATING EVERYBODY. EVERYBODY WOULD GET TIGER WOODS ‘ QUESTIONS, ONE AFTER ANOTHER.
THERE WERE SEVERAL PROTESTS, LIKE HIM COMING HERE TALK ABOUT MY GOLF GAME, YOU KNOW? YOUR SCOTTIE WOULD THINK , ARE THE QUESTIONS ABOUT MY PUTTING EVER GOING TO GO AWAY? SADLY, THEY’RE NOT AS LONG AS THERE IS A QUESTION ABOUT HIS PUTTING.
TODAY WAS NOTHING SHORT OF AN ATROCIOUS DAM THE GREENS FOR SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER. HE’S OUT THERE GRINDING, 34 PUTTS, LOST TWO AND CHANGE THE FIELD, WAS CLOSE TO DEAD LAST ON THE GREENS. THE THING IS YOU HAVE TO HAVE PATIENCE, TRUST.
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE YOUR DOWN DAYS IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW GOOD YOU ARE. YOU WILL HAVE OFF DAYS IN EVERY ASPECT OF THIS GAME. >> YOU REALLY EXCITED PREGAME. >> THE STROKE LOOKS GREAT. I’M NOT SAYING THE PUTTS YOU
ARE MAKING BUT JUST THE THUMB STRAIGHT DOWN THE SHAFT, NO SIGN OF TENSION. NO PECULIARITIES TO A SET UP. UTTERLY ORTHODOX. BUT I LIKE WHAT HE’S DOING RIGHT HERE. DOESN’T LIKE HE’S PANICKING. THIS IS MORE SITUATIONAL. GOING AROUND THE CLOCK, PLACING
THE BALL FOUR OR FIVE FEET AWAY AND HAVING A LOOK AT IT. THIS IS SORT OF AFFIRMATION. DIFFERENT PUTTS, LEFT TO RIGHT, DOWNHILL LEFT TO RIGHT UPHILL ET CETERA. >> THE GUY IS NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD.
SIX WINS SINCE THE START OF 2022. WE ARE NITPICKING BUT HAD THE DIRTY SIX HOLE LEAD. 10th TIME IN HIS CAREER HE HAS HAD A 36 HOLE LEAD WHICH HAS ONLY CONVERTED 2 OF 9. THIS WAS THE PROBLEM, WHEN YOU STRUGGLE
WITH PUTTING YOU WILL GIVE SOME AWAY ON THE WEEKEND. >> ABSOLUTELY. IS WHAT YOU DID LAST YEAR, ON THE GREENS, IT WAS HARD TO WATCH. BECAUSE HE WAS PLAYING SO WELL, IT IS FRONT AND CENTER ON THOSE GREENS ALMOST EVERY SINGLE WEEK.
WE SAW HIM ALMOST EVERY SINGLE THOUGHT AND PUTT. ORDINARILY WE GO TO PLAYERS WHEN THEY MAKE ONE. WE GOT A FULL DIET OF HIS STRUGGLES ON THE GREEN BUT WHEN YOU WATCH PLAYERS STRUGGLE ON THE GREEN IT IS OBVIOUS THAT
THEY STRUGGLE WITH TENSION, THE STROKE GETS WOBBLY HERE OR THERE AND YOU SEE THEM SOMETIMES HAVE A QUICK CHANGE OF DIRECTION OR POP UP OUT OF IT. YOU DON’T SEE ANY OF THAT WITH HIM. >> BY THE WAY I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS WELL.
TIGER MAYBE WE WOULD HAVE WON A FIFTH STRAIGHT TOURNAMENT OR SOMETHING OUTRAGEOUS. >> YOU GO DOWN AND TRY TO BE RESPECTFUL AND SENSITIVE AND JUST PLAYED AROUND. JUST WALK ME THREE AROUND 74 TODAY. BY THE WAY, JUST CURIOUS, ANY THOUGHTS ON TIGER’S FIFTH
CONSECUTIVE VICTORY? YOU HAVE TO TAP DANCE AROUND IT . >> JUST IMAGINE HOW HARD IT WAS FOR THEM PSYCHOLOGICALLY. >> I MIGHT ASK YOU A TIME OR TWO. >> YOU CAN TURN THINGS AROUND ON THE GREENS WE MAY WELL BE
ASKING PLAYERS ABOUT THE RUN THAT SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER IS ON. HE OBVIOUSLY DIDN’T DO HIMSELF FAVORS TODAY BUT HE’S JUST THREE BACK AND YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A VERY, VERY USEFUL PLAYER IN THAT FINAL GROUP IN AKSHAY BHATIA, CHRIS KIRK.
IF THE WIND DOES NOT BLOW TOMORROW IT WILL BE

my two fav golfers! 👍🏼
Scottie Seems to struggle some with his putting. Honestly he's not the best putter on the tour. Tiger and Jack Nicklaus were the best putters. If Scottie wants to dominate and win the majors he's got to be a better putter. I have seen him lose some tournaments because of his putting. Want to win the biggies gotta win at the putting game
Three fine ex Longhorn players in this segment. Two exceptional ones!
