getting ready for chessen Hadley here at
the seventh hole it is a short par 4 one
of the more entertaining holes here at
vant it sure is down 290 yards and it’s
rare that you see a par for that’s the
easiest on the golf course the last
couple years and all the players can
reach this it’s downwind and look at
that putt for chess and for eagle and
you can see Hadley they’re already at
two under and this is at the 11th and
Aaron badley for birdie at this par
three this one plays
downwind good putt there from badley
could continues to make some good putts
that hurting wind that wood he talked
about on the eth is helping here on
two Vegas now with just a wedge from
152 just right of it okay all right yeah
that’s an excellent shot players have
had trouble with that approach shot here
at the second
hole just left of the flag stick turning
over needs to hang in
there it hangs in Patrick Rogers after
not a a great approach shot in here he’s
got this for birdie this is actually for
three birdies in a
row he’s had a couple of top 10 here in
the first two playings at
Vidant well that had to look good for a
long time he’s really long averages
about 309 yards off the te the last two
seasons this green the driveable par for
so this for
Eagle you got to snap that fax right you
have to snap that as we check in again
with Wallace at the
eighth taking that way upstairs I didn’t
see it even though the LIE wasn’t very
good nice play back into the wind really
good Json so Wallace has a chance to
stay at two
under yeah beautifully played there Dan
got a chance to go in see that short
follow through here they kind of put the
brakes on right through it the ball keep
down and low into the wind take an aim
at this par three you see him way out on
the right side and kind of hitting a
little hold into the wind beautiful
looking
swing beautiful looking
shot takes a little peek for
Nico lantto Griffin good job getting
that uh this close to the hole at 10
this for
birdie trying to get three
under and does a very rare birdie only
the fifth of the day at the 10th hole
well done there Matt Wallace off the T
at
nine cutting it back into the wind a
little bit this should be a good shot
should hold nicely wow two beautiful
approach shots there from Wallace group
Eric Van royin third from over the back
of the green at
10 high flop pretty well done the LIE
wasn’t great either that is a good shot
from there balamaki on the T here 20
four yards back left hole location
they’re using the left T today there’s a
couple of T options
here that’s a beauty right at it there
for semi
valaki Jimmy Stanger around the te the
short par 4 there’s another driver
pretty much that’s the routine
here 290 into the win for these players
today seven and eight parallel with each
other oh he flew it to the green Dan
what a t-
shot oh yeah and we’re going to follow
van royan shot with a trackman
technology started it pretty close to
that line turning towards the
flag oh man what a shot skid it in there
just P the cup and royan lined up for
another one he’s now hit 10 of 11 Greens
in regulation and this one took a little
Peak had hit right on the down there
kind of a big bounce right there and
then grabbed at 11 KH Lee
had this for
birdie there’s that Ridge is going down
the
hill boom down into the hole damn this
is right where we saw him yesterday when
he finished his ninth hole in the Pro Am
he really really likes this golf
course likes that
shot five par threes on this corset Bata
and Norman birdi one of them to get to
three under within three ET of varia for
his birdie Johnson got just a little bit
of right to left in this wind’s going to
push it even
more Nico walking it
[Applause]
in back in this thing three over par he
needs to make some
birdies started on the back nine that’s
a good start there at 17 you’ll have a
good
look
should be able to spin that a little if
he chooses
to oh round it goes and down for Van
royan the eagle
lands yeah you see there from back there
the players all rotate through those
chip shots I like to wraps around
the look at that with the spin you can
see that ball when it hits the cup it
goes all the way around hits the flag
stick
this was from 70 ft for van
royan I like how they take it back and
through the same length the way went
down style points went all the way
around the cup and
down he likes to hit a draw this
one saw him on the left side of this T
box began the year with a medical
extension almost a sink takes it right
in there had 17 starts to earn the FedEx
Cup points to keep his
card 14’s one of three par fivs on the
back nine oh there you go perfect speed
that’s why that was able to catch the
edge not quite in that uh fluff category
MJ Duffy now from Long
Range man hits the flag stick a direct
hit I think that one would have gone in
if the flag stick was out two so much in
the middle three in a row four on the
last five quickly get to five under we
had seen so many three puts now we see a
couple bombs going in that Rams home
from 28 ft and that was a direct hit it
almost gets back out over the front edge
look at
that now Patrick Rogers at the a second
on the way oh that looks right out what
a beautiful swing for Rogers oh man
right below the hole got to like the way
he’s starting this week
incredible t-shot nice swing
there looks like good weight ooh hard
bounce check something for him though
pretty
nicely he’s got multiple winds out here
he’ll always have the yeah good putt
there for James he’ll have past
champions category if all else fails the
heat a little bit this is Wallace at 15
has a 200 round going and it just got a
little better well that was a pretty
puty stroke right there for Wallace and
we haven’t seen a lot of birdies on this
little hole looking at it
16 very similar to Van Rin
and good looking shot and play a cut
shot in there wow wow he had to move it
sometimes a tree like that in the fa
makes you be more definitive at the
short 11th again just 162 he’s a one
under well this is after a big stretch
of holes where the players have really
played against the win and now they’re
seeing it down win for the first time
really since maybe six what a iron there
over at the third Patrick Fishburn had
this for birdie you get the feeling this
might uh go down F I kind of think flag
stick in did it get
there from 46 feet all pars until that
drops little swinger from right to left
here
and that’s how you finish it up it’s
like 50 ft High we were trying to
measure it yesterday yep up ahead is
lonto
Griffin from sunlight to shadows and
Down in the Hole 66 for
lonto really short putter for a tall guy
there his hands down pretty low ramlet
to four
under you want him to make this after
you you’ve watched him play so well
today there we go good positive note for
Van Roy to finish on after he cooled off
cooled off to a 63 which is just two off
the course record set by John ROM winner
of another PGA Tour event here last year
an emotional one for him is he going to
get another one David lipsky Henrik
norlander and Christal Del solar who
shot a 57 on the corn fairy tour two
weeks ago today also in that pack just
to back and there’s Rogers looming once
again at 5 under and some other players
hoping to get in even lower than van
royan bami has a chance Matt Wallace
good eagle look at
18 Aaron badley with a 68 today at three
under and there’s Santiago de lafuente
the Amer three under still with some
left to try to take that L what a story
that could be an Amer here playing at
his home country of
Mexico but they’re all chasing van royan
in at eight under two clear of the next
best
