Welcome to the 54 we are live baby right here in Jetta across from the beautiful Red Sea I have Don Boule laughing over here by my side he must be excited it’s the end of day two and Waco Neeman finishing this day at the top of the leaderboard team sting doing everything

Thing as well and we’re going to talk about all of that and more right here at the club 54 post round show I’m your host Christian Crosby and joining me is my guy Don boa with the biggest smile on his face per usual what’s up Don I’m smiling because I haven’t been called

Baby in a long long time yeah he came over here I’m like what’s up baby you ready yeah well they work as hard here I just walked off the 18th Gren I’m right back here yeah I love it I love it I’m loving it too so you had a good time

Today you got to follow some uh very talented guys why not start with uh John Ro yeah why not start with John Ron but it was bit of a frustrating day for John I mean he he birdied the first and he looked good on the second for a birdie

And then it just kind of stored on him and the wind and he was hitting a couple of squirly ones and like he said to me on the golf course he said you know my game is kind of the same as it was yesterday but the putts are just burning

The edges you think the wind had anything to do with it no it’s a pretty similar wind to yesterday so I think these guys are used to this this is the wind that blows almost every time most of these guys have been here multiple times they know exactly how to play this

Golf course but like he said it was just burning the edges yesterday the putts dropped today they didn’t and that’s the difference in the score well let’s look at it let’s take a look at some of his highlights from today D talk us through it here’s John RAM and here are some of

His moments from today yeah well great drive on the first hole just a little bit long but boom I thought here we go We’re Off to the Races right he might shoot another 62 today and they had a good chance on two didn’t make it and then he missed a

Couple of decent opportunities this was a Fant fantastic shot out of the rough I can’t believe how much spin this man gets out of the rough and it wasn’t a very good lie and look at that Nestles 2 and a half 3 ft from the hole and he

With birdie it he got that Swagger walk right there so this was the 10 he got a good read from Charles schwartzel here so that was two in a row and I thought okay John Ram is off and uh I thought he’d make another two or three birdies

At least and this was a this was a great putt just in they were on the clock at this time so they were they were trying to run around the golf course to make up time because the referee had warned them if they had gone over there a lotted

Time they could have been penalized outside what we see like on camera you’re there with him all day what’s his mood what’s his temper like when things are going right versus when things are going wrong well you can tell with John Ry when things are going right and you

Can tell when things aren’t going right and he’s a fiery character he always has been I think that’s what makes him a good player when he doesn’t go well he’s upset with himself the whole world knows it but I think it’s it’s the way that he

Gets himself fired up to make birdies to play better golf anything a fan watching this would want to know about John Ram that you noticed from following him around all day you know I’m putting you on the spot I’m putting you on the spot I I think when you look at him he’s

Intimidating he’s got the beard he’s a big man from the bass country right the bass guys are big he’s an intimidating looking guy but then like you know when I’m out on the yeah yeah D try get me to the gym I know you keep trying to get me

To the gy bring you tonight am but then when you I’m on The Fairway sometimes and I feel the moment’s right I’ll go and walk with him and have a little chat he’s a lovely lovely man and a very intelligent man too let’s talk about Charles schwarzel now you followed him

All day as well yeah um let’s talk about his highlights we got some right here for you guys and R Masters champions SPO back in 2011 when he made four birdies in a row to win that Masters look at that yeah he puted well he’s uh he’s really stroking it

Beautifully with that long Putter and he’s always had a marvelous golf swing struggled with a driver the last few weeks he told me but I think he’s found the right driver now he’s cut it down an inch short that was also on the ninth he had a slightly better lie than John

Rams there’s another one this he made a huge pass save on 11 which I just asked him about it he said that was massive got to love that all right we’re going to actually take a look back at the stinger and see what they did uh last season check it

Out thought we started playing well in Australia we had a good chance there I think we’ve had three fourth places so the consistency is there we just needed to get a little bit over the last hurdle and giving us a shot to winning one you know Brandon was playing fantastic Golf

And and so was Dean you know in the final day yeah we were right there so I was watching this leaderboard the whole time I would look up like man we’re still three behind sort of change on 10 a seven we have a horse race on 16 I hit

A really good we shot in there about 10 12 ft what a climax we have here I stood over the the read and I just said to myself man it’s going to be so good when I roll this in I said whether I hit a

Good put or not this is going to go in B at 6 the Ste and he makes it and he knows the significance and so does his Captain Lou us then made a massive Birdie on 16 and then Brandon in the same time birdie 17 Brandon Grace 17

Under par Stinger 40 under par they lead the four Races by one I looked up at the board and we were leading and I actually got nervous you I’m like I’m thinking myself are you crazy you’re like 25th in the tournament but you’re nervous and then we rushed signed our cards ran got

Lost and eventually got to the 18th green now then Brandon Grace if he makes it Stinger will win the team title yeah he all he needed to do was Parton with win by one he makes it and boom Stinger have won and then I saw the teammates

Just go go crazy and then I knew listen we’ve won it Dean BM delighted they’ve seen off the Four Aces by a single shot I was excited obviously and more excited to spray the other three guys with Champaign it was great I’m just happy the team we you know we dug deep we

Wanted this one badly and it’s just nice to everybody to pitch in and we did it always love to see that behind the scenes and here are fans super excited obviously of uh the last two days we have check this out Dom AK putting is qu putting is oh that one just scrolled

Away great start to the day live golf breakfast in NYC whole lot of excitement per usual on social media and uh we have a good friend joining us to talk about some more action Shan hang what’s up yo what’s what’s up Christian how are you doing I’m good thanks well you got to

See Waco Neeman up close and personal on his great day today how was that for starters I did you know I caught up with his caddy Gary Matthews right before they tea off and I asked him what is the difference between Waco last year in Wako this year he says you know he’s

Always been a really hard worker but it’s all coming together all the pieces all the things that he’s worked so hard on is coming together but also he said a year makes a big difference he’s still really young but a year out here has made him grown so much he’s matured so

Much and the way he’s managed his game has been one of the biggest difference but I think the one thing that stood out the most to me about what he said was that I think right now he truly truly believes that he is one of the best players in the world he’s certainly

Playing like it we got more questions for you about wo but here’s a shot of the range right now Cameron Smith out there as we speak uh looks like he’s getting some uh shots off here Dom you want to speak to us a little bit after a

Long day what what what gets a guy out there after a long day like this well these guys are professionals you know they’re seeking Perfection you can’t find it in this game but uh you know Cam he’s practicing his driver that’s the club that gives him the most trouble so

He’s always working his driver he’s always trying to shorten his arm swing you sometimes see him practicing with uh a ball between his wrists that makes him back swing daughter but and and you know sometimes it works and obviously I would imagine he had a bad day with the driver today

Cam so he’s out there grinding and he’s always trying to shorten That Swing isn’t that right yeah he’s always trying to keep it a little wider and shorter uh making sure that width stays there um as Dom has already mentioned you know this club gives him so much trouble you know

The minute cam hits it more in the Fairway he is Unstoppable because he’s just so good I mean last year he was last in driving wasn’t he in one event and then and in regulation in Centurion that’s and end up leading the event and then winning it that’s right and at uh

At Bedminster he was he was way down on the driving stats and he won by seven yeah this guy finds a way to go around the golf course and make the best out of his round he is a true grinder I think right here he’s just working on the same

Stuff as he’s worked on for for years every time I talk to him I see his coach Grant field he comes out three four times a year they’re working on exactly the same things never changes yeah he’s very much a processed guy cam he doesn’t uh do very much different he sticks to

The things that work and you see a lot of the best players out here do that uh they don’t try and find an Elixir you know they stick to the same stuff it’s always the same ghost that haunts you doesn’t it in this game of golf well

Let’s get back to Waco Neeman finishing his day as a leader was there anything you specifically saw that really stood out to you from today you know just watching him in the last this is his third event this year and even through the offseason last year when he played

In Australia he played in Dubai he’s got a lot more confidence oozing out of him just the way he walks you can tell by the way he plays the way he attacks the fairways choices off the te’s and and attacking those pins it’s really showing through his demeanor and also through

His game and it’s really impressive man he’s he is peeking at the absolute right time shall we jump into some highlights D sure let’s jump into some highlights then all right let’s take these highlights up i’ love to hear from you too go ahead Dom what I really noticed

This year is he’s picked up so much length in his driver and it’s because he’s not afraid to hit that big high draw although this is a par three yeah he started out with seven straight pars and then lit it up from here on out this big putt on the ninth

That was for par he was in the bunker on the left now this one on the 10th he drove it to this point long range bunker shot yeah he’s working with Pete count on his short game and he’s he really has improved as good as he was before and this is on the

12th for a birdie he’s also been working really hard on his putting with his uh putting coach Eric um and they’ve worked and changed his pre-shot routine a fair bit really trying to keep that left arm leading and taking a lot of the hand out of his putting and it’s worked really

Well for him it’s one of the areas of his game I think that has improved the most now you also spent some time with us Hazen today I did how was that that was talk about it you know let me tell you walking with Louie is always so much

Fun he is by far the funniest guy on that Stinger team and he’s had such a great attitude so much experience on him you know he’s played in so many major championships he has the most runner-ups I think in the major championships and it’s a it’s a bit of a shame that he’s

Not going to be at the Masters this year he’s been playing every single Master since 2008 so it’s going to be a little bit different without him being there but man he has played so well he’s working a little bit on his takeaway I spoke to his caddy uh duy his nickname

Uh love that nickname yeah and I think he’s just been you know starting to get a little bit on the inside with his takeaway so if you watch his pre-shot routine he’s trying to start it a little bit more online and getting the club more on plane and it’s worked out so

Well for him he’s striking the ball beautifully and he’s got confidence he came second last week in Oman played beautifully all right well let’s take a look at some of his highlights here talk us through it Don well well she saw it I didn’t that’s fact that’s fact I’m not

Mad at that his second shot here on the seventh this was a fantastic wedge play something that stood out to me today was his wedge game was so sharp that Tempo in this wind is such a big Advantage then this for Birdie on the 11th rolled

That one in BO was he almost in the bunker then yeah he was almost in the bunker and this a par putt on the 14th all right all right guys we’re going to keep the energy going here at Club 54 post round show let’s take a

Look at The Stingers check it out The Stingers team we really enjoy having fun off the golf course but once we get on the golf course it’s down to business this thing’s motto is grin and grind we as Africans seems to like to be The Underdogs we grinded out with a smile

Golf has always been individual you know and I always thought pressure was a lot more playing in a team environment it’s not always a bad thing to have more pressure it heightens your senses it it heightens your concentration and sometimes you tend to play better and that’s why you’ll hear guys say that

That team brings out the best of them to be part of a team like this it’s four good friends it’s amazing If This Guy’s in I’ll play the next H in my underway no way I can’t cannot do more than that it’s as good as it gets you know

Everybody’s got each other’s back and um when I play out there I look at what the team is doing and you kind of forget about yourself um for somehow that just triggers me a little bit different but um it’s worked me so far having all four guys honestly that’s been quite a cool

Thing to be a part of oh you’re kidding oh yes getting all the same clothing and being part of a brand that’s something you don’t normally get you know golf can be a lonely Sport and that aspect is is really cool what a moment hopefully we can even improve on

Last season and see if we can win the overall this year the absolute best this is the best day ever unbelievable get ready Hong Kong oh yes you ready for this wow he was simply masterful today see you at live golf Hong Kong all right down my first question

After seeing that video is what are we doing in Hong Kong man what are the plans why are you asking me I’ve been told I don’t know the place at all I’ve been told that you know what what we should do there there’s lots to do there

Is lots to do it’s a beautiful city I’m it’s my hometown I’m I’m really excited for it but I’m also dressed it in a way I’m I’m not dreading it but I’m just going to be so busy I’m going to be pulled left right and Center all right

So let’s let’s talk a little bit about I want to hear more about your day today from from the both of you some of your biggest takeaways that you saw and some things that you’re looking forward to for tomorrow go ahead Dom you take this one well it’s always Sunday right

There’s a there’s a final leaderboard there’s going to be a winner that’s always my favorite day of the week it’s the end of the week week for us too which is also nice but uh no I I just like the finality of it and I like the

Intensity when you’re out there you see these guys who are in contention to win a big tournament how hard they try how much it means you know I get a lot from that I love that soan what about you what do you think well look this is a ball

Striker golf course if you look at that leaderboard we have a stacked pylon it’s going to be an exciting Championship Sunday well we’ve already seen two players here Dom back to back two for two I’m calling a playoff tomorrow and we’re going to be watching more golf

Here on the 18th scen I guarantee that but you know I’m I’m really excited to watch actually uh Wako I think he’s really the main story this week I I really enjoy watching him play and I know how much it means to him and you

Know he’s he’s had a a tough season last year didn’t play as well as he wanted so you can tell from that body language so I just love I would love to to watch him play while tomorrow all totally agree with you suan now we

Have David far joining us in just a few So speaking of David far let’s take a look at his WTF feature check it out my Keen sense of the Absurd comes from and I can trace it all the way back to when I used to caddy for my father

Who played with the same three doctors every Saturday and Sunday morning I was just about the age you know getting sophisticated enough to know what these men were talking about and they would take the Mickey out of each other like you wouldn’t believe and we were walking off that First Tee with

My dad’s clubs and my father turned to the doctor and he said doc I’m having terrible trouble sleeping these days I think you need to give me a sleeping pill and the doctor said well Billy you know I don’t like to do that right off the bat you know these things can be

Addictive have you tried everything you know counting sheep which is one of the things they do with sheep in Ireland my father says yes I’ve tried everything you need to give me a sleeping pill and the doctor said well look I’ll tell you what you do tonight

Billy when you put your head on the pillow you know imagine that you’re out here on the First Tee and hadit a shot here a shot there a bunker shot a Putter and and you know by the time you get to the the turn you’ll be asleep so my

Father says oh all right I’ll give it a try the next morning Dr Digman turned to my dad and he said Billy how did you sleep last night my father says no not great but I played very well Dr D just said oh really how did you go my father

Says well have my t-shot the first first a six iron on the front edge of the green I made the putt had a driver in a three-wood just short of the second green I chipped in for Eagle I get on the third tea I hit Sky my tea shot and

It ends up halfway down the hill I hit my second shot fat onto the front edge of the Grain and I made the longest putt I’ve ever made in my life and I’m thinking to myself at 9 or 10 years old here my father’s going to break the

Course record and the doctor said to him what happened there my father said well I was awake all night looking for the ball and that was the day I learned my father was funny and I learned how to curse you got to love David fa oh my God

And here’s a tweet uh Mr KRA is taking over jeda uh I think we all can agree that and joining us is actually Mr KRA Jason KRA thanks for joining us here and look who we have here Mr bar yeah I limped over from the booth there yeah

You it took me a while to find you guys you did fine you’re here it’s all good like your outfit by the way uh Jason great job today uh thank you you feeling I feel good I um much better than the first round so I’ll take it uh put our

Team in uh position to uh to go for the win and we’ll see what happens tomorrow well uh you know a lot of the guys got off to slow starts today you know you got off to a good one you know what was the difference uh I said it

Before uh I just wanted to commit to the shots commit to the lines I was taking and I bailed out all day yesterday so uh I wanted no matter if I hit good shots bad shots I wanted to commit to the lines commit to the shot shape that I

That I hit and uh I saw a few go in early so yeah is that Golf Course getting firmer Under Foot with this Breeze in the sun yeah a little bit you saw the greens getting a little baked out later in the day so uh a couple of

Spots were a little bit quicker um but yeah I thought the golf course played great today well you got a bunch of players behind you um here that uh how far down that leaderboard do you think you know the guys that have a chance I

Mean you saw it with my round today you saw it with John ROM and a couple guys yesterday so I think this golf course is getable uh you keep it in the Fairway uh control your golf ball and you know be able to give yourself 10 to 15 Footers

For most of the day you’ll see um you know I I think you’ll see a lot of low scores are you hoping for a little more Breeze tomorrow maybe uh you know I I like the breeze that we had today so I’ll take the same Breeze all right well

Let’s get into your highlights uh we would love for you to talk us through these here we go 11 11 T yeah that was a eight iron probably no more than a 70 shot kind of wind off the left it was kind of a perfect little shot for me um

Hit it hit it to about 3 ft straight up the hill then uh 15 this was uh a bad te- ball but a good second shot from the desert and uh I hit it was a perfect number 17 there you go uh what was 17 oh

Yeah 17 was a nice little wedge hit 4 IR off the te actually it’s always nice when you count remember there was a lot of them out there today so one was uh a nice little pitching wedge from about 125 and then uh number three was a great five iron in there

Perfect read by D Rob and poured it right in the middle how much do you rely on on D rob you know when it when it comes to a golf course like this when you get these swirling Crosswinds well I I told him uh before you handle the green reading and

I’ll handle the ball striking and I think we’ll be just fine he look after that right now uh smash GC has been smashing it we have congratulations on that thank you thank you shall we get into some highlights of the team yeah I want to hear what you have to say about

It let’s check out some team highlights here I’d love to see how the other guys play yeah give us your feedback give us your input and also feel free to talk about how fun it’s been with smash I mean Brooks is one of the best players

In the world uh I don’t think we I don’t know if there’s too many hotter players on the planet right now than uh Taylor G and GMAC is uh one of the all-time best guys and you know you saw incredible round in Vegas out of them and uh I’m

Sure we’re we’re going to need him tomorrow so he’ll he’ll bring it tomorrow Taylor making pots like he always is and I love his putting stroke and we were talking about his butter so so there’s this thing that we do we call form check we have fans send in their

Swings and then we show you and then you check their form now this is fairly boring if you’re really nice about it so be as be as honest as you can ask David we need your onliners for this too yeah no I I’ll pitch in yeah all right let’s

Go get into the form check first up short but sweet kind looks like me under pressure that’s a John Ry back swing right there but twice as fast that’s way underneath kind of humping the golf ball a little bit Yeah short but sweet that’s definitely a draw o over the top that’s

Definitely a slice little posture problems there looks like you know it might might actually be you know on the on the toilet at a dress he might need my golf clubs a little longer yeah reaching for it here’s another one right here look at those shorts that is a it doesn’t really

Matter what your swing looks like if you’re dressed like that that’s that’s that’s great little Monty finish I would wear that a high finish low inside with the high finish that’s uh that’s yeah that’s that’s what we call the nose and elbow syndrome the Finish when we finish like it’s not good

It’s not good for a wedge shot all right here’s here’s another one ooh stand up out of it not bad though like the flow the flow is nice all right if you’re watching Jason kraat likes the flow you should feel really good about yourself right now the flow pz inspired better

Than nothing not anymore could be a mullet involved there as well maybe but we can’t can’t really see great catch there Dam all right wow there’s a good little swing right there by far the best swing we’ve seen out of the last five some speed as well yeah 8-year-old

Seven-year old we need to need to get my 8-year-old swinging harder then yeah smoking as driver I mean 8 years old you shouldn’t be smoking anything right on that’s like a lefty mroy right there that’s that I I don’t know if i’ change change anything yeah we might be saying

That kid in a few years time all right that was fun Jason thank you so much for your time we truly appreciate it we’re going to toss to a look back at smash GC in Vegas baby take a look R capka the captain of Smash GC see

Only one victory in their history that was a couple of seasons ago for me I think we were looking to make this team be as good as it possibly can a topsy tury few moments for smash GC they are in third spot obviously Aden Taylor was a huge thing and GMAC

Bringing in the experience I know he still got game and he still got plenty of years left was GM expectation levels are there and I think for me at my stage of my career I think the motivation was really needed we have a three-way tie for the

Team lead GM is one of the greediest players in the game gr McDow getting it done today the last I had seen on the scoreboard was we were maybe one or two ahead and they now lead the range goes by three I’m personally a leaderboard

Watcher I like to know what I need to do smash a 10 under par today next thing you know I look up and we had like a 7hl I was going what the hell is going on well that happened all of a sudden my goodness you know we came together in

Vegas oh it’s brilliant it was a good time to hit the jackpot spraying the champagne a little bit later as Team Champions it’s looking good very pleased with this team I know it’s it’s only the start and I feel like we can continue to do that every week what a master stroke

Signing greay McDow you know obviously Brooks has a lot of belief in me putting me on this team and it was nice to kind of show up today play well and smash GC are victorious at live Golf Las Vegas you walking up onto the podium I was

Asking the guys what do you do up here cuz I’ve never been here before so now listen it was a great experience we’re certainly looking forward to the rest of the season and looking forward to seeing what this team can really achieve what do what do you think David

Is it possible we’ll see Team winners again smash GC and and jeda oh yeah absolutely I think they’re uh they’re looking very strong there’s no question about that yeah so I want to talk Anthony Kim a little bit coming into this week biggest story 12 years retired

Wild card it it’s I’ve been told from Jerry it’s just hard to do what he’s done in general it’s it’s a unique story I I can’t think of another athlete in in another sport that has had that kind of a gap you know and has come back and you

Know he could have dipped his toe into some you know smaller tournaments and all the rest but he’s basically doing a naked cannonball into the deep and you know and and that’s uh you you couldn’t have more pressure on you very few players I think will ever have this kind

Of pressure on them and uh you know he shot a couple of 76s but he’s he’s hit some good shots here and there it’s going to take him a little while to get some golf under his belt you know to find out what he can do all right well

Let’s take a look at some of his highlights from today we love to hear what you think about it David here’s Anthony Kim yeah his third shot at 15 you know you get in the the desert and this is the when you’ve had a long uh layoff these are the shots you know

Where you’ve got to you know strike the ball absolutely perfectly these are the ones that are tough to get a handle on you know you know his uh third shot at 18 was was uh I called this the Barnes Wallace the the man who invented the bouncing bomb uh that lands in the

Middle of the lake and jumps out something you don’t often see except maybe in a pran yeah uh at the first hole for one thing that that did look pretty good I thought is you know his putting stroke and and that’s something that you know there’s the fine motor

Skills and that’s at the eighth for par um you know those fine motor skills are are sometimes the last to come back you know he had 11 straight powers to end his second round you know which was great to see and U you know to see him

Bounce back and settle in that’s a good tweet right there uh and we we love to see I I can’t wait to see he does tomorrow what what are your predictions on Anthony Kim tomorrow well he finished with 11 straight pars today you know that’s got to make him feel a little

Better going into tomorrow um but it’s going to be tough we got we got a little feature I want to check out yeah everybody check out Anthony Kim here we go win number one for Anthony Kim Till The Sun Comes over the hills make your car now and clear I

Will oh man this feels so surreal Pati it’s all the things you do and all the things I thought and new beginning is waiting for us yeah yeah yeah absolutely I’m from Melbourne originally but I’ve been in America for 25 years I was going to say there’s Nazi accent

People it was OST it was a polarizing player when he was at his Peak all right we see some guys out here from Fireballs getting ready for tomorrow i’ really love to see the guys go straight from competing to the range um I would love to hear you talk about that

From your experience personally well from my experience personally you know I played my my uh my Peak years were the sort of middle 80s to the early 90s and uh you know we didn’t really go straight from the 18th grade to the practice ground there was a diversion you know to

The bar first yeah um and that was when you could you know you could be a big fat guy with bad habits and still win a lot of money look at these guys now you know we uh we see them on the practice ground Ian these are real athletes and

Just getting into tomorrow is there anyone that we haven’t brought up that you’ve noticed is right there that we’re not giving that attention to well you know my Dark Horse for tomorrow is is is not that dark of a horse as uh Lou o Tyson uh whenever he swings well

Whenever he plays well nobody makes the game look prettier than Louis o tyon he uh he’s a phenomenal player uh and if he gets his nose in front he’s a great front runner was it interesting in day for John ROM I want to bring him up for

A little bit um predictions for what he does tomorrow I would expect John Ram to be in there uh in the thick of things you know you it’s difficult to give a player like uh like our leader you know uh Walkin nikim NE Neiman uh it’s

Difficult to give him uh two shots you know you say to any of these guys you know I’m I’m going to you know go ahe I’ll give you a shot of nine difficult but when there’s that many people behind you and we saw it in Mexico where he had

A two- shot lead you know it kind of evaporated on him and it was only when he got behind you know that he kind of got into gear you know and ended up winning that in the playoff now let’s talk a little bit about the team game

Team Stinger who really is just we had so many guys from from that team doing well today why do you think that is well you know they like to play in the wind and um you know it’s just four terrific players that have great camaraderie you know among them there’s uh there’s a

Team spirit there you know they they all have a team spirit but I think they in particular have one that’s pretty special now we’ve been showing some clips of the range post competition but there’s someone else who does a wonderful job on the Range Rachel Drummond we’re going to toss it over to

You Rachel what’s going on right I am an absolute golf nerd so have the privilege of being with Andrew gson who’s film mixon’s coach for High Flyers thank you so much for joining us my pleasure Rachel thanks for having me on and after you’ve walked a whole round

Out there today with Phil it was a lot of fun Phil left a few out there but it was a good day um conditions were very difficult today uh the wind was up and uh but it was fun it was hot but it was fun well you’re here thank you now we’re

Going to talk about and you’ve been a fan of his swing for a long time Anthony Kim oh yeah now the scoring hasn’t reflect his ability can you tell us about why you love it swing the key thing for me is how short and wide it is

You know and the way he moves his bodies is very special you know he’s obviously been out of the game for a decade decade plus so I think give him time to get back into it I think his courage out here this week is is showing 11 straight

PS to finish there’s some positives there and he’ll get better as as time goes on especially in these conditions with wind it is good to make Power around here isn’t it it is it’s it’s more challenging than you think yesterday we had the wind out of the

East today you know mid- round yesterday switched back to the west and today it was out of the West the whole time so the hard holes yesterday played easy and then today all those hard holes played very hard easy holes played easy so if you didn’t make that score up on the

Easy holes it was tough we were actually saying it’s a bit like an Open Championship isn’t it in the space of 5 hours like normally you get at 7:00 a.m. 300 p.m. here you’ve got it in 18 correct and that’s a beauty of live I mean live everyone tees off the same but

You know you can get still wind wind changes so it’s it’s fun It’s Tricky now come on let’s have a little look at Anthony Kim swing I want you to talk me through it tell me what you love about his move and anything to the people at

Home to look at so the the beauty here is just how much width he has going back you look at that left arm he’s short right there there’s perfect position you can see that perfect triangle his elbows but the thing I want you to look at and

We’ve talked about uh Rachel at length is his left foot watch as he comes down he almost does this little toe kind of Bop It kind of just the left toe goes all the weight goes in his left toe and then he rotates through impact I mean

He’s done that since I’ve been a fan of this it’s just incredible motion if we roll it all the way to the Finish now yeah you see the release of the club is just perfect perfect plane perfect body motion and I love that follow through it’s a signature fall through

Anthony Kim so if we just keep playing that video and for the fans at home really watch his left foot and it’s very very subtle it’s only a split second but he just stores energy so perfectly now you’ve been credited for being an amazing coach because you simplify moves

Cuz the golf swing is very hard well thank you for that so you know I want to tip in a minute but what do you what do you simply about this move just the footwork way yeah just how the club his footwork controls the club getting more

In front of his body and his down swing which is is something that all the players out here are trying to do when the club gets stuck behind you you lose face awareness and for the guys at home guys and girls at home it’s very very

Hard to hit a golf shot if you have no face awareness the body can control that face work so the face awareness so it’s a big thing for us yes cuz that’s where the ball goes yes and if it’s open it goes to the right for us rties and if

It’s closed it’ll go left doesn’t lie now I’m excited about this you’re going to give me a tip and it’s going to be around footwork so everyone at home can be inspired with Anthony Kim’s move we’re going to work on what icy he he he

He works on and he might not even know he does it but it’s pretty good so it’s important yes so we got a driver and we’re just going to make kind of a smooth swing to start with okay but the key thing is yeah we’ll do a couple of

Practice swings nice and smooth just stop at the top Rachel and what he does he loads into almost into this front toe so he goes into that front toe that’s it you see how the club come down Rachel brought the club down beautifully so that’s didn’t mean to do that no well

That’s a that’s a reaction right so the footwork or the better body work can help that that’s it so for everybody at home we’re not trying to move forward we’re actually trying to keep our body very neutral as our weight moves into our left side the arms come down and

Then we rotate through impact and would you call this sequencing for everyone at home absolutely the big thing is too is that when we’re working on that’s perfect you see your arms come down then you turn through impact okay most amateur golfers I teach and you’re aware

Of this they turn way before they should so he Anthony Kim is storing energy very very well and that’s what you’re working on do one more yeah do one more time more the body controlling the club face correct correct where your arms are so the ultimate fault is swing to the top now

Most people will turn their left hip very aggressively and then the club goes way out there it is and for all those guys and girls at home that slice it that’s exactly what you do that’s dead yes and then they get yeah and then they get the chicken wing the alligator arm

Yeah so just feel that kind of weight into your left toe yeah there you go there’s the arms and then you rotate perfect okay that is absolutely you’re perfect student okay so do I do this in slowmo or do I just slow mo to start so you get

The feel you don’t have to hit it too hard okay and the lead toe is the move from the top yeah lead toe keep that weight in the lead toe well that made me look very good it’s your coaching maybe you simplify May yes keep it simple okay so you also

Spoke about you know lead arm to lead arm can you talk us through that drill as well so if we had like a 99 we’re hitting some drivers cuz the video was obviously should we get a 99 yeah get a 99 get 99 can I tear it up I’m a bit nervous about

This that’s okay so to get that feeling if we go from kind of armpit to armpit the key thing is is we’re going to feel how the body moves more okay so I kind of work on like an a position a b position then the full swing a c most

People can’t do you know the seat position straight away so what I try and do is you get them to feel it so if I just kind of go up to my armpit and then I feel what Anthony Kim’s feeling is that left toe the arms will drop in as

As you’re doing and then from there I’m rotating now look how stable and square the face and from that position there I’m into the fall through and when you look at a lot of the traditional swings over the years you you actually saw heels move and everything corre do you think that

Was the same thing trying to create that ability to press down it probably was especially you know in the Nicholas era yeah for sure yeah absolutely so when you talk about ABC can you go through that with me for everyone at home so to get the feeling of how the body works

It’s very important for you to kind of understand like position so if we kind of work I look at a as a pit shot okay like a 60 yard pit shot even with a N9 okay so once you get that feeling and understand how the kind of the Body

Works we go to a little bit bigger swing so that would be B so start with a just kind of go kind of middle of your rib cage to rib cage and feel that kind of left foot so here even a littleit the foot and then yeah and even a little bit

Shorter than that almost just a little bit kind of just above your waist almost just smooth feel the left toe that’s it it’s perfect so you feel a lot of rotation through impact right and for all our amers at home they all rotate way before they should

So that would be a simple drill to do do you know what I like about this is cuz I’ve been hitting balls before this you know having that focus in your head especially in the wind is crucial oh yeah and feeling like it actually goes that way first it feels like it gives

You a bit more time correct more time and more space that’s the two things I teach yeah yeah if you decrease time and space you’re normally in a lot of trouble yeah oh we need more tips and we got okay so same again yeah same again

You can do position B but that’s just that’s kind of more up to your armpit or the top of your shoulder that’s it and then still yeah and then turn into the left toe the arms will drop down in front of the body yeah and you’ll see

There to the naked eye it might be a little hard but your arms drop almost 3 in before you start to rotate so you’re getting to the top and as the left toe your arms go here and arms get here and then you’re rotating through impact it’s

Very good I really really like this cuz it gives you a focus if not even this correct yeah so for the viewers at home go ahead and hit 30 balls doing this I guarantee you’ll get better give it some time it’s windy here guys okay so is this similar with

Chipping as well or completely different uh no it’s very similar cuz with chipping is it’s it’s such a small motion but your arms and body are working together you know if you look at the best players of the world and I’m lucky enough to get a front row seat to

Fill his left arm so his right is left a lefty but I’ll explain it right-handed his left arm never really breaks down but his arm and his body is working together so yeah it’s very similar I’m trying to get as many little nuggets here long short we can do this again

It’s no problem let’s try this one more time so we go middle of stance armpit press rotate rotate are you safe then yeah no more than safe yeah perfect you can see how straight that ball comes out yeah so the the window of the direction of the ball the

Face is pointed Square all the time okay got one more question yeah if you were coaching NC Kim right now knowing he was going into the final round what little nugget advice would you give him I think for him is like you know he said how nervous he was on the first te

Which is very understandable I would be I think anyone would be after a 10-e break I would just tell him to work on Tempo and that’s a very simple answer but I’d work on tempo of how he walked you know and trying to keep himself very even that’s what I would grounded bit

Breathing yeah breathing and just kind of just keep it as simple as you can you know maybe try this drill maybe Andrew thank you so much we’ll get you on again absolute pleasure thank you thanks for having me on uh you got to love that uh Rachel Drummond getting some lessons

From Andrew getson the best of the best you love that David yeah that’s great stuff yeah we’re going to toss over to a feature if you want to get some lessons from the best of the best just watch this video hey guys this is Cam Smith hi I’m

Bryson a Shambo I’m Bubba Watson and welcome welcome welcome to my live lesson so if you’re like me and you miss Fairways this is when the creativity comes out focus on that Target that’s what I’m focused on py the man for me I’m I just want to make it as simple as

Possible tempo for sure is one thing you need to keep an eye on cam Smith he has taken complete control here I like to aim the putter make sure that’s perfect then I take my stance give it one good look at the hole and hit a good

P Houdini with the flat stick need a golf ball here we go Bry and the chambo electrifies the ground so guys there’s a lot of mysteries around hitting it really far that’s what psycho mode comes in try to get a little psycho with it yeah there it is that was pepper let

Your body free up let things just move more don’t feel like you’re restricted you do that you’re on your way to better golf all right be sure to check out those live Le lessons as we head into day three we have Waco Neeman leading that leaderboard and uh the singer GC on

The team side they’re wo is playing his best golf right now the last three four weeks it seems like him and tqu have really just heated up so what can we look for tomorrow as we head to day three well he’s a world-class player the peak of his form and he’s such an

Interesting golfer as well because he’s got such an interesting swing uh there is no golfer out there who lets their head drop 6 in on the to s and that means you have to shorten your arm swing and to to find the center of the ball which means you must have extraordinary

Hand eye coordination and one thing that these guys all have in common whether they’re basketball players or football players or golfers or businessmen successful people want to be in a place where they know they’re going to be uncomfortable I’m looking forward to it David F it’s been fun thank you guys for

Watching us here at Club 54 post round show we’ll see you tomorrow the final day see see you there peace
