And we are live from the beautiful Jetta just away from the beautiful Red Sea and day one has come to an end John Ramen Legion 13 leading the way at the end of day one just in the nick of time right at the end of the day coming through in

A clutch what an incredible day we got to watch the debut of Anthony Kim 12 years out of the game and he came back a lot of fun to talk about that you are watching the amazing Club 54 post round show and here we go I am your host

Christian Crosby welcome and thank you for tuning in joining me is suan hang you had yourself a day today uh we have so much to talk about and I couldn’t be more excited about it welcome to Club 54 post round shout to our fans suan what’s up how you feeling

Yeah I mean look it’s a lot cooler than we normally would be playing on this golf course it’s usually like 95 to 100 degrees today it wasn’t as bad but the wind is up and this course is always tricky now you got to follow three guys today I want to start with Dustin

Johnson he had a day I want to know you followed him around all day maybe didn’t do what he wanted to do today but what did you pick up yeah I mean he was really solid all day from te to Green he just missed a few putts uh and I think

He could sense a bit of frustration from him coming down the stretch and he said it in his post round interview as well feels like he left a few out there he could have certainly shot eight or nine under if he made more putts but really solid start he’s had a great track

Record here he plays really well it suits his eye and his game he loves playing golf in the win and uh let’s take a look at his highlights shall we DJ highlights here yeah started off the first hole hot start pitched it to about about 6

Ft now this seventh also for a birdie opportunity stred out really solid with a flat stick and sort of just steady it out at the end but here on the 10th great pitch as well downhill right to left putt he’s been working a lot on his putting getting more weight to his left

Leg and this is his second shot on the 14th got a couple more highlights here suan has been so solid with his wedges it’s one of his main strengths especially out here he’s just so good as long as he hits the ball on The Fairway

He is just so solid as when you give him a wedge in his hand his Strokes gain is impressive on the field when he’s inside 150 he’s impressive just just from your take from today what do you think needs to improve the most for DJ as he goes

Into tomorrow I mean he said it in his post round interview he’s going to go practice on the putting green behind us I’m wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not there uh but yeah if he just made more pods do what he did today stay patient he certainly in the hunt all right let’s

Talk Peter Uline who is someone else you had a chance to follow today he had a pretty solid day today I want to know what you thought about it here are some highlights check it out talk it through suan here are some Peter line highlights from today yeah he started out really

Really hot um and just didn’t quite follow the momentum on the back nine HE2 great Trek record here at Royal greens this is for birdie at the 5ifth leading and putting stats in the last two events and now this is his second at the seventh look at that right There and now here birdie on the 11th made four birdies today in just a one drop shot yeah solid round for Peter today it wasn’t his best certainly felt the energy dipping in the back n from him and you can sense a little frustration as well uh really generally with that

Group probably the last seven holes or so I noticed a little bit of a energy level just well it might have to do with that sun that’s blazing out here all right let’s talk Brooks kepo looking to be a three Pat this week uh what did you see from

Brooks you know he just wasn’t comfortable from tea to Green today I know he’s been working on some stuff uh you know I spoke to his caddy Ricky uh right about the 16th hole and he said you know he’s the range here the winds off their backs and they’re just really

Uncomfortable he can’t quite get the club around him just seems uncomfortable all day bit of a slow day for Brooks but we’ve seen him play so well over the years and we know he can go low the next couple of days which is what he needs to

Do if he wants to have that three peep would you say there there’s anything uh he needs to be concerned about as you said he he’s done this many times and this is his spot here in Jetta um worried at all or not at all I mean

There are certainly some names that been added to the roster that season you know you John Rah Adrian all playing very well charl getting some momentum as well um I don’t think he’ll be worried I mean winning once is hard winning backto back is even harder a threee is really

Tough so I think he’s just looking to play really solid get his game sharp again especially going to the major season well let’s take a look back at Brooks and his success here in Jetta the last two years check it out Brooks cap takes the individual title in jeda for the second straight

Year he is our champion at the Royal Greens Golf and Country Club I just think it’s a ball Striker’s golf course I really do the wind gets up in the afternoon so you really got to control your ball flight control your Spin and I feel like

I I can do that pretty well it’s really good if it’s the right distance oh what a peach it’s stinking hot 93 F tougher it gets the better it is for me there’s our leader Brooks caput I like this place like the golf course that we’ had some

Success just hopefully build on that oh yeah now we’ve got a good group of guys I’ll be exciting to see how we finish this week Brooks cap cup for the second straight year he is our champion in jeda winning breeds confidence and that was Brooks kepka

Doing his thing here in Jetta as you can see that’s a beautiful shot of Jetta here in the Red Sea more to come here at Club 54 post round Show Welcome to hang time this week we’re here in Jetta and joining me is Andy ogal tree from The High Flyers we’re going to play the ninth we’re going to have a chat and have a great time let’s do this you’ve now won three times on three different continents I have yeah when

You left Little Rock when you were a kid did you see this happening at all I never really envisioned uh playing a worldwide tour I went to my Agent M barnhard and I’m like I’ll go anywhere in the world I just want to play 40 events I want to play tournaments

Against great competition I don’t feel like I’m getting better and I feel like I’m just kind of waiting until the next q school got a call a few weeks later that I could play the first event on live golf and that also gave me uh asent

Tour status so it was a no-brainer for me because I I genuinely just wanted to play tournaments that matter I wanted to have a schedule I wanted to have tournaments to prepare for know when my next start was I think I have status out there for 5 years now since I won the

Agent tour order marriage so I can I can kind of pick and choose the cool places that I want to go see and Singapore right absolutely yeah I’ll always play Singapore as long as you take us back to that market where we have those fresh coconuts oh yeah absolutely

All right and I’m welcoming my good friend swagged out looking good post round show post round show did you like that you like that little extra energy I did Jerry uhhuh Jerry fos thank you for joining us Mr cool I wouldn’t I would not take it that far Christian cool

Crossby we had ourselves a day Jerry uh let’s let’s recap the day a little bit I remember I was watching the show when it started out with John ROM you said you would be shocked if John ROM didn’t finish in the top 10 every week you said

That every week and you you can take a poll of the other 53 players in the field they’d say the same thing I want to get your take on today there so much to talk about Anthony Kim John ROM etc etc what’s your overall takeaway from

Day one well John ROM did that thing which he always does he didn’t look like he did anything special out there and he’s tied for the lead at 800 power shoot 62 that is just how good he is in a nutshell all around solid te to Green

On the greens around the greens he’s just a great player he’s probably the best player in the world if not he’s one of the first second uh Anthony Kim did I think better than I expected better than a lot of pundits expected for sure but certainly not uh not to the type of

Level that he would have maybe hoped for I don’t think he expected much better but I think he would have hoped for better but he’s not going to get his sea legs under for quite some time he didn’t embarrass himself today he probably has

A few good things to uh to draw on from today’s round and will continue to put pay the price do the things you need to do and figure out a way to be the best he can be whether that’s as good as Anthony Kim used to be or not remains to

Be seen but it’ll take a while to find out I mean he’s absolutely definitely doing that take a look at some of these highlights here I’ve already seen them all yeah yeah live over and over the guys going to watch him over and over again Cherry come on all right here we

Go you expect it out of him you really do he’s yeah I think you know in his mind he feels like he’s overdue to win out here and this is his third event yeah I I I really enjoyed watching him today it kind of felt like it came out

Of nowhere even though it didn’t he just has a way of doing that which it seems right yeah he does but you know what might have felt like it came out of nowhere um was the guy who’s going to be joining us here shortly Charles schwarzel beat his last round of

Competitive golf by 17 shots you just blew it away you told the fans he’s coming before we tell you didn’t tell him already I didn’t tell him oh man Charles Schwarz will be joining us uh which we look forward to talking to him in a few moments there um I I want to

Get into a little bit of Anthony Kim before we talk to Charles just his day in journal doing something that nobody’s ever done in sports 12 years retired coming back as a wild card and doing what he did today maybe wasn’t what he expected but what I think it’s pretty

Close to what he would have had to have expected um it’s not as it’s not close to what he hoped for sure uh you know he’s got a self-belief that is unwavering and to shoot 76 six overpar is going to be disappointing to him and internally I don’t think it should come

As a surprise to anybody you got to temper your got to temper your expectations and I just saw a tweet from one of the golf writers saying remember when tiger came back he hit a shank of Riviera temper your expectations folks all right here’s a look at Anthony Kim’s day take a look

Now all right here we go the highs the lows what we got there first t-shot I believe it was yeah he just absolutely striped it and according to those who played with in the proam that wasn’t the strength of his game yesterday this was his fourth shot at 18

After had bit of a miscue on the second shot reportedly to have completely mishit his layup iron shot but starts with a bogey and uh did actually save another bogey later in the round and then added a birdie and then you know slowly made his way to uh to the round

That he shot six over par it was a lot of fun watching him his composure he seemed to it was surreal watching him was what it was I mean we most of us never thought we’d see this again he disappeared from seemingly the face of the Earth certainly the face of

The game and nobody’s ever done like you mentioned what he did in professional sports You could argue maybe George Foreman way different analogy there having taken some time off in boxing and come back eventually to be heavyweight champion of the world um anybody who underestimates Anthony’s Kim ability to

Play Great Golf given some time given some time you know a few months it could take you up to a year to be the best he’s going to be we don’t know how good that’s going to be yet but uh he’ll he’ll do everything he can to get there

I mean I hear what you’re saying Jerry but I want to see what the fans are saying let’s head over the tagboard and see what they’re saying on the social about today day one what a day let’s take a look here now we got a couple

High and here’s the uh tweets join the club if you haven’t sent some tweets out come on you can get on TV why wouldn’t you not me up at 3:00 a.m. in New York to watch ak’s first round back I love it I absolutely love it here’s some more

Tweets I mean I’ve been checking the timeline Jerry what have you been thinking about social anything that you didn’t expect no I got I was copied on a tweet to a guy that said uh he’s his wife is now he’s now his wife’s hero because he offered to give the their

Daughter the bottle at 4: a.m. on the west coast so he can get up and watch golf cannot believe AK is playing again awesome to see see him here all right and joining us a very special guest Charles schwarzel thank you so much for joining us you had a great day congrats

On that day uh welcome to the show thanks uh highlight of your career right being on the 54 I think so right up there um you’re I mentioned it when you were sitting over there you probably heard it your last round of competitive golf in Vegas was a much higher number

17 shots better today how do you explain that huge a difference is that why I’m feeling not so tired today I think so a lot less shots um now I’ve been struggling with the driver so Vegas um that last day I hit four balls out of bounds four four

Oh wow um on various holes and um you know those normally add up to double Bogies so it wasn’t great um last week in Oman I had the same issues so this week I went to a shorter driver um uh considered bringing out my son’s driver real short but I didn’t um but

Anyways 44in driver this week and um a small change in ball position and it was good I had a good day with a driver yeah but you don’t shoot 63 with a driver you shoot it with everything and that putter was working probably the

Best I’ve seen it now I don’t get to see every shot you hit or every putt you hit but the best I’ve seen it since our inaugural event in London where you couldn’t miss if you tried I agree with you the last time I put it that well was in

London well we actually have some highlights here let’s take a look and we would love to hear you talk us through them Charles all right here we go where’s at nine um the butt was about right ede you know the biggest change that I did this

Week and the last time was actually in London so since London I’ve been putting with a line on the ball uh today I decided no line really I’m going to just um f with feel uh read it choose a spot and just feel it and um

Yeah the feel was on instincts more like a kid exactly so um you know you know one one other when you was good when you won in London arag event made everything like I said you couldn’t miss if you tried I think it was the very next week

Or two weeks later and live weeks in Live Events you changed Styles and Putters you went from the broomstick down to the traditional putter I I feel comfortable with both yeah um you know for me it’s whichever one makes the ball go null um struggled with the weight uh of the

Long poter when I went to America greens were quicker than they were in London and it took me a while to figure it out so I’ve got a uh a PN now that’s 100 G lighter in the head and 2 in shorter than the one I used in London 100 G

Lighter that’s that’s almost 4 oz too inches shorter as well yes wow that’s a big difference yeah and and since I’ve done that my speed’s been amazing conventional wisdom is counterintuitive heavy putter fast greens light putter slow greens do you think of any of that at all when you’re

Making those adjustments or just feel in a in a short putter it feels that way to me but with a long putter the heavier it was the more I struggled with like up and over and real uh feel putts you know putts that were could get away from your quickly

The long part I found that very difficult so when I went lighter um you know it’s still heavier than a than than the conventional but um it’s light in a sense of a long butter so it helped me a lot you know Christian knew to uh live golf but he’s studied a

Bunch of it what he might not know uh based on the first two weeks is how accustomed Stinger is to being Inc contention on the podium wasn’t the case in Vegas what did you guys tell each other look uh it normally takes us a while to warm

Up you’re not the youngest team but you’re certainly not the oldest there’s a tweet there of the Dream Team gotta love that from you guys Stinger GC I mean Lou’s been playing good golf and Dean really good so um and me and Brandon are hopefully starting to find

Our feet now all right so we do this thing every show called form check it’s when we have fans admit their swing and then we have you check their form are you down for it okay not supposed to be nice yeah don’t be too nice you don’t

Have to be Max home but you don’t have to be nice way better TV when you’re honest should I show my own swing or it won’t be nice right here’s the first one from Hannah Holden well you got to be nice here oh yeah yeah what do you think

H it’s good flow little inside on the back powerful if she was standing right here what would you said to Hannah we’re on another one now here holy smokes how about that one interesting swing there that’s yeah maybe I should try that that’s got a little Kyle birkshire looks

Like my swing I’m kidding I mean he’s trying to hit it as far as he can isn’t he overswing a lot of footwork all right here goes our third all right who you got you you look like you got something good you want to say here

Come on let it out I don’t know I think I went Big Slice on that okay let’s do one more you want to do one more let’s do one more oh Bubba he copied bbba there yeah that’s a Bubba impersonation isn’t it got to love that right there 100% that’s a good impression

That is you know Bubba’s never had a lesson so he never really emulated anyone this person is either imitating or emulating and not a bad role model well if you can drive it like bbba you’ll be okay bbba actually drives it real good absolutely and there’s his

Twin Charles schwarzel thank you so much for joining us we really appreciate your time thanks for the form check and all of the fun we hope to see you again thank you thank you good luck to us of course I was waiting for you to say Christian Crosby that’s our podcast fa

Way to heaven and you’re going to hear some sound bites from entertaining ones from Bryson to Shambo let’s check this out speaking of the majors that you already won the US Open What’s the next one like that you have your eyes on I’ve always wanted to win The Masters um ever

Since I was an Amer and before that when I was growing up watching tiger chip in on 16 that really kind of sold it for me I was like okay this is the next event I want and the prestige behind it and the air around it and when I saw Augusta and

Experienced the people there and I certainly love coming back there every single year and um I believe I’m going to get it done one of these days it’s just a matter of time and continue hard work and learning from my failures I think you look good in a green

Jacket I think I shave a little bit but you know they might they might have to fit the the guns in everything for the all your muscles yeah I mean be the most jacked you know Green Jacket winner that’d be cool just think of the content you would

Because you get to keep it for a year just think of the oh my gosh oh Jee remember tiger at Thanksgiving him wearing the green jacket at Thanksgiving or something like that or whatever he had the trophy in this like that sort of that that would be cool just to do stuff

Like that that would be fun like this make sure you guys check out that entire conversation on our live golf YouTube page or live Golf Plus Fairway to Heaven as Jerry told you it’s his favorite it’s your favorite it’s my favorite too yeah that’s Dom’s favorite all right and we’re back baby

Joined by another special guest Don Boule what’s up man how you feel good I’m good you’re looking good you shouldn’t wear that Jack because you got some guns you need to show right back at you my guy hey you came in here with a big smile you had you had

Fun today I’m guessing I did cuz I started the first nine hes with Anthony Kim and it was great to see him there’s so much excitement I heard Twitter blew up right and all the other social media out melted melted yeah yeah so it was great were you nervous calling his shots

Cuz there were going to be a lot of eyeballs on that in a lot of ears I talked you about that before we on a and you didn’t help did no no no no you you said there’s a lot of people on you today D I’m like yeah thanks very much

Jerry so what inside scoop can you give us about Anthony Kim that you observed from today there was a lot of highs a lot of lows what did You observe well he was nervous on the first T you know I don’t think I’ve ever seen him like that

I’ve watched him a lot on TV even at the rder cup which is the most pressurized uh theater in golf and he didn’t look nervous there but he was nervous on the first te but he kept his composure he hit some bad shots out

There he had a lot of good ones too but his demeanor never changed he never lost his emotions and uh I was very impressed of those nearly 12 years away he probably spent 11 and a half of them thinking this day would never come never planning on it coming so he he hasn’t

Had a lot of time to think about it we don’t know how sharp he kept his game he told me there was a long period of that time he didn’t own a set of clubs it’s not like he’s playing two or three times a week with his buddies and staying

Sharp so I think it’s pretty amazing that he has as much game as he had now the score wasn’t great but has as much game as he has no I mean what’s remarkable I’ve been watching him on the Range the last couple of days his swing

Is identical to when he was in his prime when he was 27 25 26 years old hasn’t changed I think obviously the feel of his uh you know his hands through the ball must be a little bit different it’s it’s it’s all brand new it’s like starting the game all over again pretty

Much yeah I think we have a tweet here uh we want to check out love to hear your take on it here we go check it out all right well before that tweet comes stick with us here and there it is this is from Anthony Kim himself little disappointed with the

Score he says but he played much better than the score Don do you agree with that yeah I I only saw for the first nine holes he hadit a couple but he had a lot of good shots the one on six into the win about 180 yards to a small

Target and H had a little punch low one through the wind pin High about 15 ft and he made his first birdie and he’s got a great sense of humor I told the story on air yeah tell it uh we’re walking down the second so one was

Playing into the win 18 18 was playing into the win one was playing into the win and two which is the opposite direction of one was into the wind so I’m walking off the te and I said to all three of them I said guys are you going

To play all 18 hoes into the wind and cam looked at me he says if I play the next toe into the win I’m going to get out of here I’m going to fly to Hong Kong I’ll see you there and that Kim said I’m going to take the next 12 years

Off when we look at those quotes though those are the same quotes you hear from so many players who are undergoing swing changes um and that’s those are guys practicing every day those exact I mean word for word much of what he said that is very encouraging that he feels that

He doesn’t feel like oh I got away with playing poorly today and shot 76 it could have been much worse he fully expected that score to be better and expects it to get better very quickly in his position right now what does he do does he shake off today should he walk

Into the next day feeling amazing I think he should be honestly myself and I’ll get abused for this on social media I don’t give a damn I think he should be how you really feel Jer extremely proud of having come out here and faced the demons that are the fans the

Haters if you will faced all the people that are like saying the things they said and went and held his head high and hit some great golf shots and there’s no reason to think that he should have any game right now after that kind of layoff

And he has some game and it’s only going to get better I love that Jerry love the energy of that answer too we got a little feature Anthony Kim Take a Look feel great been a long time coming right now I’m focused on playing good this week got a few weeks of

Competitive golf in front of me so I’ll tell my story when it’s the right time but right now I’m focus on golf uh I’m excited to be out here with my daughter and my family and uh just enjoy the experience that Liv is providing and I think I missed the competitive part of

Of the game I wouldn’t just say it was golf but just being In the Heat of the Moment have an opportunity to do something special and I’m looking forward to having that opportunity again yeah that was a good one I could make that one 11 years off is a long time but

Um I feel like I was blessed with a little bit of talent and a little hard work could go a long way so I’m expecting good results I don’t have too many nerves right now um I don’t know how I’m going to feel on that first te it’s been so

Long but uh you know golf is just a game right so I’ve gone through enough things my life where I’m going to enjoy the moment and try to play the best I can about time I’ve been putting in some work and and I’m ready to go I’m 38 down so I

Don’t know quite a few of the guys but I’m here to bust everyone’s ass I mean above all it’s safe to say absolutely entertaining every moment of today with Anthony Kim Welcome to live golf it’s always irritating perfectly put he’s the man with all the good words

Well speaking I like your shades by the way these are the first Shades he’s ever owned that he didn’t get for mton John whoa that was a bar that means I’m going to bring the Elton johnes one out tomorrow please do do speaking of entertaining Rachel Drummond down at the

Range always brings us a show checking in with you Rachel what’s going on 3 two one by there has been some drama on the 18th hole here at Royal greens and the team haven’t been kind to me they’re going to make me do a bunker demo and

What I think is one of the hardest bunker shots but before we get to that we’re going to have a look at the playoff between Brooks kka and Peter oine and some shots that Peter oine played Under Pressure which was unbelievable here he is I’m about to

Give this a go in a second what you can’t feel is the amount of wind you have on your back with this shot and the small landing area you have to hit to get it close to this pit pin he’s landed it perfectly and he’s let it roll down

To the pin now there’s a lot of things that go into a good bunker shot like this and I’m going to show you now let me get some balls here right so the two most important things in a bunker shot are the strike so your low point and also maintaining Loft on

The club face so I’m going to give you not one but two drills to help you do that so number one you’re going to draw a line in the sand we always talk about setup P1 being the most important so you’re going to do a cross in the sand

Now I know that a club head outside my lead foot is where I need my ball position so I’m going to put the ball down there now I’m standing quite far away from the ball which helps me lower my hands and I’m going to get my weight

Over my lead leg so I’m about 7030 and a little bit of my sternum back now the drill you see that I’ve drawn the line the goal is to see how many times you can hit that line and this will give you the confidence to execute the shot now that’s drill number

One now drill number two is maintaining the appropriate Loft on the club face so when we talk about Loft Club face open we want to keep that there cuz that’s how we can add speed into a golf shot this is a particular favorite of mine you’re going to get sand on the club

Face I learned this off Luke Donald Christian Donald is caddying this week for Brandon still so stand on the club face now the goal is to get that club face and lob it over your lead shoulder so did you see a little bit of sand that

Tells me there’s Loft on the club face if I close the club face do you see how the sand falls off right now I’ve got to have a go at this shot so I’m going to try and execute all of those things so I have my weight on the lead legs stman a

Little bit back and I’m going to keep that Loft on the club face it’s a little bit left is it going to get down the hill I’m going to take that I’m going to have one more go though I’ve got one more thank you I’ve got one more little

Tip that might help you I had a short game lesson with Dan grieve if you haven’t seen him he’s unbelievable and instead of typically people being open with their stance he taught me to get my right toe back a little bit because that will help

You turn so we’re going to have one more go again Landing eror is important weight left oh I’ve gone left again Rie no I cannot finish on that one more one more okay so last one and I’m going home and I’m telling everyone that I work with this was brutal right foot slightly

Back weit left and keep that Loft on the club face oh she’s gone left again I’m I’m finishing it there but give these drills a go good luck great job Rachel amazing over there we had a great time watching from up here in Club 54 we’re going to get you down

There doing that you don’t want to see that Jerry you don’t want to see that oh yes we do yes we do you know what I believe that I’ll take that uh let’s talk a little bit about our team leaders from today shall we start with Legion 13

I think we have a leaderboard we’re going to pull up here and I would love to hear your recap on the day uh from our teams and here it is here’s the leader Bo Legion 13 at the top Stinger GC finishing at second and of course the iron heads at three this

Is this is fun to watch here iron heads and High Flyers are two teams that don’t reside near the podium too often but there has been a lot of changes a lot of additions and both teams are stronger this year yeah it’s great to see IR heads up there but

Legion 13 I talked about that with John Rama in my quick interview it’s he’s now the two of them are very in inexperienced players but they are really stepping up and as you guys can see smash GC currently and Ninth our team Champs coming out of Vegas let’s take a look

Back at their run in Vegas Brooks kepka the captain of Smash GC 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 Turvy few moments for smash GC

Ter 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 is GM expectation levels are there and I think for me at my stage in my career I think

The motivation was really needed we have a three-way tie for the team lead GMAC is one of the greediest players in the game 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 today next thing you know I look up and we had like a 78 CH I was going what the hell is going on well that happened all

Of a sudden my goodness oh 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 that’s it’s only the start and I feel

Like we can continue to do that every week what a master stroke signing greay mcdal 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 let’s take a look at this tweet from Smash GC Vegas owes us nothing got to love that tweet and there’s the celebration from Vegas uh do you guys have any favorite moments from that Vegas run from Smash yeah I think the last round from

Gr McDow you know he like he said in the interview Brooks took a chance on him and he feels the pressure he feels that in that team he’s got to perform and what a final round an incredibly difficult conditions Jay what about you what do you think smash will do here in

Jeda well they’re not going to finish ninth I can promise you that where they all right no no they’ll be up threatening for a a Podium position if not the win um we are in a unfamiliar territory for us who’ve been around since beginning with live we have a lot

Of good teams we have a lot of teams to compete any day of the week it used to be the first year what two or three maybe four teams had a chance to legitimately come out the into the year on top we have seven or eight teams that

Could end the year on top and 13 teams who could win any given week now I want to talk a little bit about what Rachel Drummond did out of there because our next feature is live lessons and Rachel does such a great job teaching those who

Want to learn golf take a look at some of your favorite live golfers with live lessons check it out hey guys this is Cam Smith hi I’m Bryson to Shambo I’m bubble 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 pay to man for me I just want to make it simple as possible tempo for sure is one thing you need to keep in 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 to Shambo electrifies the ground so guys there’s a lot of mysteries around

Hitting it really far that’s what a 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 be sure to watch those live lessons super cool there now the biggest story of today Anthony Kim uh let’s go over his highlights one more time Dom I would love to hear your perspective of what you saw behind the scenes you had a chance to follow him around here’s

Anthony Kemp is that the first t- shot opening t- shot I believe he hit that 290 yards into the wind right down the middle of the Fairway that must have made him feel really good that was his fourth shot and hit a nice shot hit it very crisply a perfect

Trajectory just carried it a little bit too far his long pting was excellent today that I think was the first hole his second hole he lagged them all from 30 40 feet to around that dist distance he looked confident over the short putts didn’t he Jerry yeah he did

And the speed on the long putts that you mentioned you referenced everyone got to the hole got that perfect H holding distance past the hole that didn’t go in and almost everyone was missed on the high side which is the sign of not having a lot of nerves yeah and that was

A lovely touch on that chip that was very quick down the hill yeah you know what if you’re going to hit a shank you might as well hit the best one anybody’s ever seen that was 90° right airborne and went about 120 yard to be fair the

The lie was terrible he was standing like that of course it was he had to make a heck of a putt for bogy on that hole as well and that I think that’s the first bird of the day for him on the sixth that was a wonderful second

Shot his wife Emily was out there all day it’s his third shot at the seven yeah that was that was almost impossible he had a terrible lie all right day one was incredible I’m sure day two will be even better I would love to get your thoughts for tomorrow

What can we expect what are you expecting to see uh we’ll start with you Jerry uh I expect Anthony to be somewhere in that same vicinity maybe a couple shots lower maybe a couple shots higher I expect John ROM to do what he does and go out there and look like he’s

Almost bored shooting 62 or 63 64 uh I think DJ is going to put some pressure on I certainly think Brooks is going to come around a little stronger tomorrow uh but Bryson’s right there as well he might he has the ability to overpower a few of the holes out here if the

Driver’s going straight and and make up some Headway as well and with his don’t forget about wacko I was out there for the last eight nine hoes with Wacko and I was talking to Andrew gson Phil M melson’s coach and he said he was absolutely strike CL it was a clinic and

He could have been three or four shots better he bogey the last toll which was a bit disappointing but uh he’s going to continue going straight up the leaderboard all right well let’s take a look at some tweets out here some people watching and let’s take a look at this

Tweet here my favorite one right there by D Ste 311 got to love that yeah my wife thinks I’m the greatest person in the world right now for offering to give our newborn baby her 4 a.m. bottle yeah that came in about uh when he’s he’s

  1. He's not good
    As in, he's not good enough to make the cut in the New Zealand Open right now
    You've got to drop him and put him at a level of competition he can handle, he's clearly not ready for the big leagues

  2. This is what happens when you really either don't have true friends or you distance yourself from everyone and become a drug addict and let yourself completely go for a decade….. if I was him I'd have come jacked had nose surgery and had a nice haircut

  3. I love this story. Reminder of how hard golf is – something that everyone who has ever played can relate to. Rooting for him!

  4. If AK can go pro and not just a talented guy, with friend on his bag, he can do things.. Start to treat his body right etc. But honestly doubt it.. H e just plays golf, todays pros are athletes , with team around them to make sure body and mind is optimal… Kim aint gonna be that guy I believe.

  5. Looking forward to seeing where this comeback attempt takes him. Whether he’s competitively successful or not – it takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there like he is after being gone for so long, and in such a tumultuous time for the sport. Great example for his daughter to look up to – fear nothing and prove it to yourself that you can do what you love again.

  6. I like everything you said,wish AK all the best,also thx to Greg Norman and LIV for bringing him back,I hope Rory does not have a problem with it lol.

  7. Where are the fans? I've seen high school golf tournaments with more spectators.

  8. My prediction for the week was 76, 71, 68 for AK… as soon as he gets comfortable and his shots dialled in, he will be up there for sure

  9. Anthony keep it going, love seeing you back in the saddle, awesome performance after a long hiatus. We love you!
