Watch Live on LIVGolfPlus.com

>>> ROUND ONE OF THE HISTORIC HONG KONG GOLF CLUB PROVIDED A FEAST OF LOW SCORING WITH ONLY 10 OF OUR 54-MAN FIELD OVER PAR. BUT THE COOLER CONDITIONS ON DAY TWO ARE SET TO PROVIDE A DIFFERENT CHALLENGE. THE INDIVIDUAL PYLON IS STACKED WITH OOSTHUIZEN AND BURMESTER LEADING THE WAY.

THE TEAM COMPETITION COULD BE ANOTHER CLASSIC AS THE OLD SOUTH AFRICAN STINGERS SEEK REVENGE TO LAST WEEK’S HEARTBREAK AT THE HANDS OF DECHAMBEAU’S CRUSHERS. >> HONG KONG IS ONE OF THE GREATEST CITIES ON THE PLANET. >> WHEN WAS ANNOUNCED ON SCHEDULE, IT WAS ONE I CIRCLED I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOST.

>> THIS BRINGS WORLD CLASS GOLF TO AN AREA THAT WOULDN’T NORMALLY GET IT AND IS CRAVING IT. >> THIS IS TERRIFIC ENTERTAINMENT. >> THE TOWN, JUST THE WHOLE VIBE AROUND THIS PLACE IS ALWAYS AMAZING. I LOVE THAT WE ARE HERE. THE TOWN IS GREAT. LOTS OF GOOD FOOD, CULTURE.

LOTS TO DO HERE IN HONG KONG. THE GOLF COURSE HAS A TON OF HISTORY, A LOT OF CHARACTER. >> THIS WILL BE A NEW CHALLENGE FOR A LOT OF GUYS THAT NEVER PLAYED. >> YOU HAVE TO BE IN POSITION ALL THE TIME, YOU CANNOT BE TOO AGGRESSIVE AT THE TEE.

>> OH, JOAQUIN ON A TEAR. >> IT’S NOT ABOUT HOW FAR YOU HIT IT. IT’S WHERE YOU PUT IT. >> THIS WILL BE SOME WEEKEND IN HONG KONG. ♪ >> AFTER A THRILLING FIRST 18 HOLES, THE EIGHT PLAYERS BEHIND BURMESTER ON THE PYLON SEPARATED BY ONE SHOT. LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN CONTINUED WITH

A 64. THAT HELPED STINGER GC INTO FIRST PLACE IN THE TEAM COMPETITION. BUT LURKING ON FIVE UNDER ARE TWO SERIOUS LIV GOLF HEAVY WEIGHTS. OUR SHOTGUN START IS IMMINENT. HELLO EVERYBODY. DAVID IS ALONGSIDE ME. IT’S A CHILLY ONE THIS MORNING. A LITTLE MURKY AT THE HONG KONG

GOLF CLUB AS WELL BUT THE ACTION SHOULD BE RED HOT. IT WAS A WILD DAY YESTERDAY. LOOK AT THIS. THE BURMESTER LEADING THE WAY. SIX PLAYERS ON 6 UNDER PAR AND TWO BEHEMOUTHS IN ANCER AND DECHAMBEAU. >> YOU LOOK AT ANCER AND BURMESTER. BURMESTER WON TWICE IN THE OFF SEASON FINISHED THIRD BETWEEN

JOAQUIN AND SERGIO AND KAYMER. >> TERRIFIC OPENING DAY FOR BURMESTER. HE TEED OFF AT 18 AND HAD A TERRIFIC RUN BETWEEN HOLES 11 AND 15. THAT’S HIS SECOND SHOT INTO THE 15th. THAT WAS A BIRDIE FOR HIM. HE EAGLED 13 SO HE SHARES THE LEAD WITH ABRAHAM ANCER. 7 UNDER PAR.

A RUN OF FIVE CONSERVATIVE BIRDIES IN HIS 63. ROUNDING INTO FORM QUITE NICELY AS WELL. >> THAT WAS SECOND INTO THE 9th. NOW IT’S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THIS MAN TO DO ANYTHING STEALTHILY. HE’S DOING IT IN A VERY EFFECTIVE WAY. >> HE DOESN’T SEEM TO PLAY PARTICULARLY WELL AND STILL, YOU

KNOW, WHEN HE ADDS UP HIS SCORE CARD IT WAS 65 YESTERDAY. HE’S AN EXPLOSIVE PLAYER. IF HE PLAYS WELL, HE CAN SHOOT REALLY LOW ROUND HERE, THAT’S FOR SURE. >> THIS WAS A BIRDIE PUTT AT ONE. FIVE UNDER PAR THEN FOR BROOKS. THE AND ALL 10 ROUNDS THIS

SEASON SO FAR IN THE 06s. WE WILL HEAR FROM THE REST OF THE LIV GOLF BROADCAST TEAM. JERRY, SUEANN AND DON. IT’S SUPER SATURDAY HERE IN HONG KONG. >> THE NEW LIV GOLF SEASON IS HERE. TEAMING UP GOLF’S MOST SENSATIONAL PLAYERS. >> ATTA BOY, BROOKSY. >> TO SEE WHO WILL WIN FOR THE

GLORY AND THE FOLLOW. LIV GOLF. GET INTO A NEW DIMENSION. >> WELL THAT’S THE SCENE HERE IN THE FANLING AREA OF HONG KONG. BRIGHT SUNSHINE ALL DAY YESTERDAY. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS CONDITION. A LITTLE CHILLY AS WE MENTIONED OUT THERE TODAY. WE HAD A LOT OF RAIN OVERNIGHT AND THIS MORNING, A LITTLE BIT

OF MIZZLE AROUND FIRST THING SO THE COURSE WILL BE SOFT AND JERRY, WHO ISN’T SOFT, YOU HAVE BEEN OUT THERE DOING THE PREGAME SHOW OUT IN THE ELEMENTS. >> THE GOOD NEWS IS FROM OUR METEOROLOGIST ON-SITE, JACOB, FROM THORGUARD IS THE SKIES ARE SUPPOSED TO LIGHTEN A BIT AND WE

MIGHT SEE A FEW PEEK-A-BOOS. JUST FEELS MISERABLE OUT THERE COMPARED TO YESTERDAY. BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE HERE IN HONG KONG. >> IT’S ACTUALLY QUITE DARK IF YOU LOOK AT OUR BOOTH WINDOW HERE. IT’S ALMOST LIKE THE PLAYOFF BETWEEN SERGIO AND JOAQUIN. >> THERE’S HB3. A REBOUND FORM FOR HAROLD. SETTLING IN AFTER THE TRADE FROM

THE RANGE GOATS TO THE 4ACES. JUST OVER HALF, EIGHT AND A HALF MINUTES TO GO UNTIL THE SHOTGUN START. THERE’S PATRICK REID. >> SAW HB3 WITH TAYLOR GOOF AT THE RESTAURANT THAT DAVID COULDN’T FIND. >> YEAH, I COULDN’T FIND IT. YEAH. >> THERE’S THE COMMISSIONER AND CEO GREG NORMAN. TERRIFIC CROWDS YESTERDAY AND

EVEN MORE EXPECTED. SOME OF THE GREATEST GOLFERS BROUGHT TO HONG KONG BY THE LEAGUE. IT’S A MAGNIFICENT GOLF COURSE. SO, A SLIGHTLY MURKY AND CHILLY START TO SUPER SATURDAY HERE AT THE HONG KONG GOLF CLUB. LESS THAN EIGHT MINUTES TO GO UNTIL THE SHOTGUN START WHEN ALL

54 PLAYERS WILL BE ON THE GOLF COURSE SIMULTANEOUSLY. JERRY, GREAT TO WELCOME YOU BACK INTO THE BOOTH. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PYLON, AND DAVID AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT THE DEPTH IN THE LEAGUE. SURELY LURKING ON FIVE UNDER TWO IS BRYSON DECHAMBEAU AND BROOKS KAPKA. >> IT’S PRETTY HEAVY ON SUPERSTARS.

YOU LOOK AT THE — BRYSON CAN TAKE, WITH THE DRIVE LIKE YESTERDAY FROM 400 YARDS IT BASICALLY OVERPOWERS THE COURSE BUT THE COURSE IS DESIGNED THAT YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT BETWEEN THE TREES. >> AND YOU SEE MARTY KAYMER UP THERE. A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL WANT TO SEE HIM PLAY WELL.

HE WAS SO BADLY INJURED TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO. A WRIST INJURY. IT’S GREAT TO SEE HIM BACK. HE WON A COUPLE OF MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIPS, A FINE WORLD CLASS PLAYER RIGHT UP THERE AS WELL. >> I THINK THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE OOSTHUIZEN’S WEEK. HE’S SUCH A NICE GUY. SO QUIET. CAN’T.

>> HE WAS TIDE SECOND LAST WEEK, LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN. YOU MENTIONED MARTY KAYMER. GREAT TO SEE THE CREEKS G C6 UNDER PAR, 64. IT WAS HIS BEST SCORE IN 60 CAREER LIV ROUNDS IN THE REGULAR SEASON AND SUEANN WILL HAVE A WORD WITH MARTIN KAYMER ON THE PRACTICE TEE. >> THERE’S BEEN SOME RIVALRY.

LET’S NOT FORGET ABOUT CLEEKS IN THIRD PLACE AT THE MOMENT. I HAVE THEIR TEAM CAPTAIN, MARTIN KAYMER. YOU SHOT YOUR LEAST LIV ROUND SIX UNDER PAR. DO YOU FEEL LIKE THIS COURSE PLAYS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE? >> I THINK IT DOESN’T REALLY GIVE ANY ADVANTAGE TO LONG HITTERS OR THE GUYS THAT ARE A

LITTLE BIT SHOTTER. YOU JUST HAVE TO HIT GOOD APPROACH. THE FAIRWAYS AREN’T THAT DIFFICULT TO HIT. YOU DON’T HIT MANY DRIVERS SO YOU HIT A LOT OF TWO IRON THREE WOODS AND WE SHOULD HIT A FEW MORE FAIRWAYS. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE APPROACH SHOTS. I MADE SOME NICE ONES YESTERDAY.

MADE SOME NICE PUTTS. IT’S A BEAUTIFUL GOLF COURSE. THE CROWDS ARE GOOD. A VERY, VERY NICE EVENT. >> YOUR TEAMMATE GOT OFF TO A HOT START. HE BIRDIED FIVE OUT OF SIX HOLES. WERE YOU WATCHING THE LEADERBOARD? >> YEAH OBVIOUSLY. I WAS THREE OR FOUR UNDER AND

ALL OF A SUDDEN I SAW THE CLEEKS LEADING BY THREE OR FOUR SHOTS. AT THAT TIME, I KNEW THAT ONE OF THE OTHER THREE GUYS DID SOMETHING SPECIAL THEN I SAW HIM ON THE LEADERBOARD. SO WE WERE COMING OUT HOT EARLY. IT WAS A SHAME WITH KALA YESTERDAY THE WAY HE FINISHED

BUT YOU HAVE TO FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE AND LOOKS LIKE THAT GOLF COURSE SUITS ALL OF US. WE JUST NEED TO KEEP GOING. >> THANKS FOR THE CHAT. PLAY WELL TODAY. >> THANK YOU. >> SAMOOJA MENTIONED BY HIS CAPTAIN, FIVE UNDER AFTER HIS FIRST SIX HOLES. HE ENDED UP WITH UNDER PAR.

JOHN RAHM. WE HAVEN’T SPOKEN ABOUT HIM. BY RIGHTS THE WAY HE WAS PLAYING SHOULD HAVE BEEN UP THERE AT THE TOP OF THE PYLON WERE IT NOT FOR THAT GOLFING DISASTER, LET’S SAY, AT 18. >> IT WAS. IT WAS A SPECTACULAR THING CATCHING THE PATH WATCHING THAT BALL COMING BACK TOWARD HIM.

HAVING TO TAKE A PENALTY DROP CHIPPING IT OUT. IT WAS THE OLD HINDENBERG CRASHING INTO THE TITANIC AGAIN. YEAH. >> WELL THE TEE SHOT COST HIM A SHOT. HE WAS GOING TO CHIP OUT AND LIKELY MAKE BOGEY OR SCRAMBLE FOR PAR LIKE OOSTHUIZEN DID PLAYING WITH HIM. BUT FIRST OF ALL, BLACKTOP CART

PATHS DON’T TYPICALLY HAVE A CURB OR AN EDGE BUT HAVE WORN DOWN ABOUT A FOOT WIFE AND HAD A LITTLE GAP AND RICOCHETED FASTER THAN IT GOT THERE. IT WAS A HORRIBLE BREAK BUT YOU CAN’T DIAL BACK JOHN RAHM’S AGGRESSIVENESS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT SUITS BECAME.

IN THE PRO-AM HE HAD 07 YARDS TO THE GAME. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS WAS A THREE-SHOT DISASTER. >> IT WAS A SEVEN AT 18. HE HAS CATCHING UP TO DO AFTER HIS 67. THERE’S DECHAMBEAU, ANOTHER EXCELLENT ROUND YESTERDAY. 65 AND THE CRUSHERS ARE ONE SHOT BEHIND STINGER GC AS WELL.

LET’S HEAD OUT ONTO THE COURSE AND FIND OUT WHAT TO WATCH FOR FROM OUR COURSE ANALYST IN A MOMENT. BUT, A BIG, BIG WEEK FOR THE HONG KONG NATIVE. THERE YOU ARE. GREAT TO SEE YOU. YOU MUST BE SO PROUD OF EVERYONE INVOLVEED IN THIS TOURNAMENT. >> I AM.

THIS GOLF CLUB WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1889. THE HONG KONG OPEN WAS FIRST PLAYED IN 1959 BUT WE HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY GREAT PLAYERS HERE AT THE SAME TIME. THE COURSE HAS CHANGED VERY LITTLE IN THAT TIME. IT’S ALL ABOUT HITTING THE FAIRWAYS. YESTERDAY NINE OF THE TOP 10

PLAYERS ON THE LEADERBOARD ALL HIT AT LEAST NINE FAIRWAYS SO FIND THE FAIRWAYS AND PUTT YOUR WAY AROUND FROM THERE. >> DOM, ALL THAT HISTORY IS FANTASTIC. BUT WHERE IS THE SOMEONE’S? IT IS TIG — ABSOLUTELY FREEZIN. THE FAIR WAY WILL BE PLAYING DIFFERENTLY. FOUR OF THE TOP FIVE HARDEST

HOLES ARE ON THE FRONT NINE. PLAYERS WILL BE QUITE CONSERVATIVE ON THE FRONT BUT ONCE THEY GET TO THE BACK THEY CAN AFFORD TO PLAY MORE AGGRESSIVELY AS THE COURSE OPENS UP. >> SUEANN WILL BE HAPPIER WHEN WE GET TO SINGAPORE, HER HOME COURSE. NEVER GETS COLD. >> IT’S NOT FREEZING OUT THERE.

WE COULD BE SUNBATHING IN THIS WEATHER AT HOME. >> YOU ARE IRISH. >> YEAH. >> NO, THIS IS FLORIDA COLD. >> THE SHOTGUN START IS MOMENTS AWAY AND IT WILL BE AN EXCELLENT SUPER SATURDAY. IT’S SO TIGHT AND CONCERTINA AT THE TOP. WHO ARE YOU LOOKING FOR TO MAKE A MOVE, GENTLEMEN, TODAY?

>> I LIKE HENRICK STENSON. HE’S THREE BACK AT THE MINUTE. DIDN’T HAVE SUCH A GREAT FINISH, BUT, HE LOOKS LIKE HE’S SWINGING WELL AND HE’S RESPONSIBLE FOR I THINK THE GREATEST 36 HOLES OF GOLF I EVER SAW WHICH WAS THE FINAL TWO RUNS OF THE 2016 OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP AT ROYAL.

HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS HEADING FOR THAT KIND OF FORM. >> I’M LOOKING FOR THE ANALYTICS I TOLD YOU ABOUT YESTERDAY. I LOVE THOSE. IT MAKES ME SOUND SMARTER THAN I AM, WHICH IS NOT HARD. PAUL CASEY AND BRENDAN PHRASE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE FINAL GROUP TOMORROW.

I AM LOOKING FOR MOVES OUT OF BOTH OF THOSE. >> WELL THERE’S OUR QUAD BOX. EIGHT MINUTES TO ABOUT UNTIL OUR START. HE SAID HE TRIED TO NOT PUT ANY PRESSURE ON HIMSELF DESPITE KNOWING THAT THIS GOLF COURSE COULD REALLY SUIT HIS GAME. FIVE STRAIGHT BIRDIES AT ONE POINT.

HOWL III A 64 FOR HIM. BROOKS KOEPA ANOTHER GREAT ROUND. HE’S TWO OFF THE LEADERS. SO, TOO, DECHAMBEAU. WE ARE SECONDS AWAY FROM THE START OF SUPER SATURDAY IN MAGNIFICENT HONG KONG. AND WE WILL START AT THE THIRD TEE AND THE AFORMENTIONED PGA CHAMPION BROOKS KOEPKA. AND BROOKS IS OFF AND RUNNING.

NEXT TO THE TEE AT ONE, AND MATT JONES OF RIPPER GC. AN EXLEND OPENING ROUND 64 FROM MATT HIS LOWEST ROUND OF THE SEASON SO FAR. AND HERE’S OUR COLOOKEDDER, BE AANCER OF THE FIREBALLS, SERGIO GARCIA’S TEAM. THE FIRST TIME HE HAS LEAD AT THE START OF A DAY’S PLAY, TIED

ON 7 UNDER WITH DEAN BURMESTER. >> AND HE ONLY MISSED ONE FAIR WAY YESTERDAY, ABE ANCER. THIS IS A GREAT COURSE FOR HIM. >> YEAH, HE’S A REAL TIDY GOLFER. A TECHNICIAN. >> LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING TO MISS ONE TODAY. >> JOHN RAHM ON THE TEE AT 16.

THAT IS A LOW — QUICK — ONLY RUNS ABOUT 70 YARDS FOR A CUT SHOT, DAVID. >> YEAH. >> BACK TO ONE AND DEAN BURMESTER WHO ISN’T FEELING WELL. BEWARE THE SICK GOLFER. SAYS HE USUALLY PLAYS WELL WHEN HE’S UNDER THE WEATHER. >> HE WAS QUITE DESCRIPTIVE AS WELL IN HIS ILLS.

>> YEAH. >> OVERCAME A STOMACH BUG BEFORE CHRISTMAS DOING THE SOUTH AFRICA OPEN IN DECEMBER. BRYSON IS OFF AND AWAY ON THE FOURTH TEE. NEXT TO THE TEE AT SIX, CAMERON SMITH. HE LOOKS WRAP UP AGAINST THE ELEMENTS. EXCEPT FOR THE SHORTS. THAT’S A GOOD START FOR CAM RIGHT THERE. OF.

>> THERE’S AUSSIE FOR BEING WRAPPED UP AGAINST THE ELEMENTS. SUPER SATURDAY IS UNDERWAY. IT SHOULD BE A WILD RIDE HERE IN CHONG. HERE IN HONG KONG. AS DOM WAS TALKING ABOUT, 1889 THE HONG KONG GOLF CLUB WAS FORMED. >> I REMEMBER IT. >> DOM WAS THE FIRST JUNIOR PRO.

>> DOM’S THE HIGHEST FINISHER FOR HONG KONGER IN THE HISTORY OF THE HONG KONG OPEN. FOURTH PLACE. NIEMANN WINNER OF TWO EVENTS THIS SEASON INCLUDING LAST WEEKEND IN JEDDAH IN CONVINCING STYLE. AFTER THAT FOUR-HOLE PLAYOFF IN VIRTUAL DARKNESS TO START THE SEASON. 67 FOR HIM YESTERDAY INCLUDING A

HOLD OUT FOR AN EAGLE AS WELL. UPDATE, NIEMANN IS STYLE DIALED. WOULD HE HAVE BEEN HAPPY WITH THAT OPENING ROUND? >> YEAH, I THINK SO. HE’S CERTAINLY HAPPY WITH THAT ONE. >> WELL HE DIDN’T LOSE A TOURNAMENT DAY ONE WITH ONLY A 54 HOLE THREE-ROUND EVENT YOU

CAN EASILY PLAY OUT IN DAY ONE. HE HAS A CHANCE. >> TO THE SECOND HOLE AND HAROLD VARNER III FOR BIRDIE. 34 FEET AWAY UP THE SLOPE. >> HV3 CAPITALIZE ON THE EXCELLENT OPENING ROUND? SO FAR SO GOOD. HAROLD JOINS THE LEADERS ON SEVEN UNDER PAR. HAD AN OPENING ROUND 63 IN LAS

VEGAS A COUPLE OF EVENTS AGO AND FELL AWAY. LET’S SEE IF HE CAN CAPITALIZE ON HIS OPENING ROUND 64 HERE IN HONG KONG. >> THIS IS THE GREEN AT 2. IF YOU ARE AWAY JUST A SECOND AGO, HAROLD VARNER III. DID THIS. WHAT A START. >> WHAT A GREAT STROKE. NICE.

NEVER LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO MISS. >> AND HE JOINS BURMESTER AND ANCER ON 7 UNDER AT THE TOP OF THE PYLON. JACARTA FOR BIRDIE. ANOTHER OF THE SIX PLAYERS SIX UNDER PAR AFTER THE OPENING ROUND OF 64. I SHARED A CAR WITH HIM LAST NIGHT BACK TO THE HOTEL AND ALL

HE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WAS TED AND MANCHESTER CITY. >> MANCHESTER CITY, BECAUSE IT ANNOYS HIS BEST FRIEND. >> WHO’S A MANCHESTER UNITED FAN. >> YEAH. >> MATT, SECOND AT ONE. >> YEAH, HIT THE TREE, WENT BACKWARDS A BIT BUT STILL A CLEAR SHOT. >> OH, WHAT A KICK THAT WAS

>> TO THE GREEN AT 2, CHARLES HOWL III BOGEY FREE YESTERDAY AND STARTING HIS SUPER SATURDAY ROUND WITH A BIRDIE. >> A GOOD LOOKING STROKE. NOW ABE ANCER. >> SLIGHTLY UPHILL BUT THIS IS A PIN FRONT LEFT ON THIS FIRST HOLE. IT’S VERY GETTABLE. >> HE ONLY MISSED ONE FAIR WAY YESTERDAY, DOM.

HE’S ALREADY DONE THAT TODAY. >> YEP. BUT THAT’S A GOOD MISS. A GREAT SHOT. >> IS IT EVER. FOUND IT OUT FRONT LEFT. NOT EASY. >> NOW TO THE FOURTH. THE SECOND SHOT HERE FOR BRYSON DECHAMBEAU. >> I WANT TO SEE SOMEBODY HAVE A GO AT THIS FOURTH GREEN.

IT’S ONLY 288 YARDS LONG BUT THEY ARE HITTING ALL KINDS OF CLUBS OFF THE TEE TO LEAVE THEMSELVES WEDGES AND SAND WEDGES. AND IT IS DRIVABLE BUT VERY DANGEROUS. >> PACK AT 1, DEAN BURMESTER. >> HIT THE CAR PARK AND GOT AN ANEXTRA 60 OR 07 YARDS. PERFECT LANGLE, GREAT LIE.

>> A LITTLE PUNCH WITH THE WEDGE. BEAUTIFUL. >> TO THE THIRD AND BROOKS KOEPKA. >> LITTLE WINDIER TODAY. INTO HALF THE RIGHT. >> CLUB LOOKED LIKE IT GOT HUNG UP A LITTLE RIGHT IN THE GRASS ON HIS BACK SWING. JOAQUIN AT FIVE TO START SUPER SATURDAY WITH A BIRDIE.

>> THIS ONE BREAKS LEFT, DAVID. >> YEAH. JUST A LITTLE. HOLY MOLEY RIGHT ON TOP OF THAT LITTLE BABY TIER. >> THAT WAS OVERDONE TO SAY THE LEAST. >> HERE’S JOHN RAHM WITH HIS SECOND SHOT AT 16. TEED OFF AT THREE YESTERDAY. BIRDIED THREE OF HIS OPENING FOUR.

HE GOT IT TO SIX UNDER. BEFORE DISASTER STRUCK AT 18. A TRIPLE BOGEY 7. ENDED THREE UNDER PAR WITH A 67. >> PAUL CASEY AT THE 4th. >> BACK AT ONE, MATT JONES, THIS IS WHERE THE BALL FINALLY CAME TO REST NOT FAR FROM THE PENALTY AREA. >> YEAH.

THAT’S BRYSON’S FOURTH SHOT AND THIS HOLE IS SO AWKWARD. >> THIS IS STENSON JUST OFF THE BACK OF THE GREEN AT 17 RATTLING IT HOME. HE WAS THE ONE TO WATCH, WASN’T HE, FOR YOU, DAVID? BEFORE THE ROUND. HE STARTED BEAUTIFULLY. OH, THAT’S A BIG MISS EARLY ON FOR ABE ANCER.

>> FOURTH GREEN AND BRYSON FOR PAR. NEXT TO THE THIRD GREEN OR JUST ADJACENT TO IT AND HERE’S BROOKS. >> NOT A LOT OF GREEN TO WORK WITH FOR BROOKS. >> HE PLAYED THAT BEAUTIFULLY LANDING IT IN THE FRINGE. >> WHILE THAT WAS HAPPENING, HERE’S JOHN RAHM TO CALL ANOTHER

CHECK WITH IN TONY OUR IN-HOUSE RULES EXPERT. TONY, WHAT IS THE PROCESS FROM HERE? >> WELL, BROOKS TOLD THE RULE OWES VISUAL THAT HE HAS LINE OF SIGHT INTERFERENCE AND HE HAS TO GO TO THE EDGE OF THE T. IO AND GETS ONE CLUB LINK HOR DOOR FROM

THAT EDGE AND NOW GETS A SECOND CLUB LENGTH, HIS RELIEF AREA AND HE DROPS THE BALL IN THAT RELIEF AREA. NOW HE DOES NOT HAVE THE LINE OF SIGHT INTERFERENCE. >> Jerry: IT’S LINE OF SIGHT, THAT’S AN IMPORTANT DISSTINK, ISN’T IT, TONY? >> BE A SALUTE I.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN HIT THE SHOT STRAIGHT, YES. >> Arlo: WHILE WE WAIT LET’S CHECK IN WITH JOHN RAHM, OPENED WITH A BIRDIE AT 16. >> Su-Ann: BACK TO THE GYM TOPIC, ARLO. >> Arlo: MY FAVORITE TOPIC. >> Su-Ann: HE HAS BEEN WORKING

SO HARD ON HIS FITNESS IN THE GYM. HE HAS A NEW PROGRAM WORKING WITH DR. AURA TRYING TO GET MORE LEAN HEADING INTO THE MAJOR SEASON. OH, BOY. >> David: I THINK IF THAT HASN’T CAUGHT SOMEONE IN THE CROWD THAT WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR PATH AND GONE WHO KNOWS WHERE.

>> Arlo: STINGER HAVE STARTED WELL YET AGAIN, THEIR LEAD OVER THE CRUSHERS IS THREE SHOTS. CHARLES HOWELL, III OF THE CRUSHERS, THIS IS HIS EAGLE PUTT AT 3, HE WOULD MAKE HIS BIRDIE. >> Jerry: BRENDON GRACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FAIRWAY AT 17. >> David: OVER AT THE FIFTH,

BRAY SON FOR BIRDIE. OH. >> BAD LUCK, BRYSON. >> Arlo: THERE IS THE OLD SCREEN EXPERIENCE, LIV GOLF MAIN BROADCAST AND A DeCHAMBEAU CAMP THAT’S HARD TO BEAT SAYS SPORTS IN 5. THAT’S LIV GOLF PLUS.COM. EUGENIO JAKARTA IS MOVING UP THE PYLON, HE WON IN BANGKOK IN 2022.

THE YOUNGSTER FROM SPAIN AND HE IS 7 UNDER PAR. ONE OFF THE LEAD. HE’S IN A FOUR-WAY TIE ON 7 UNDER BEHIND DEAN BURMESTER. >> Su-Ann: BROOKS. THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY TRICKY UP AND DOWN. FAIRLY TIED LIE BACK THERE. >> David: JUST A DRINKY LITTLE FOURTH HOLE.

HAS PROVEN TO BE A PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL PLAYERS. >> Su-Ann: GOING TO TRY TO UP AND RUN THIS, I PAYING, TAKE SOME SPEED OFF. INTO THAT SLOPE. SHORT OF THE PIN IT YEAH, LOOKS LIKE HE WILL TRY AT THAT CARRY THE LONGER GRASS UP TO THE FRINGE AND THE BANK SHORT OF THE

GREEN FROM THIS ANGLE. FLEW IT RIGHT ON TOP OF IT. >> David: HE BLUE IT JUST A YARD TOO FAR. GREEN AT 17, ANOTHER GOOD CHANCE HERE FOR JOHN HUME. YEAH. >> Arlo: NEXT TO THE 18th TEE. HERE IS A.K. FOR BIRDIE AT 16. I CRUTCHED NUMBERS BECAUSE I DON’T GET OUT MUCH.

SO FAR THE FIRST SEVEN HOLES IN THE FIRST FOUR EVENTS BEING 28 HOLES IN TOTAL. 15 OVER PAR, HIS LAST 11 HOLES, SO 44 HOLES IN TOTAL. ONLY 7 OVER. IF HE COULD JUST GET OFF TO BETTER STARTS. >> Jerry: IT’S A LONG ROAD WHAT ANTHONY KIM IS TRYING TO

ACCOMPLISHMENT I THINK HIS SCORES LAST WEEK WERE REMARKABLE. THAT’S OBVIOUSLY SUBJECTABLE. BUT IT WILL TAKE A WHILE AND I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE PROGRESS. OUR LIV LINE NOW HAS THE TEAM LOGO AS THE ORIGINAL STARTING POINT. TWO FEET, TWO INCHES RIGHT OF THE HOLE. JUST HIGH OF IT.

IF IT’S SOFT ENOUGH IT GOES, TOO SOFT IT GOES LOW. >> Arlo: CAM SMITH AT THE 7th FOR RIPPER GC. 4 UNDER PAR AFTER THIS BIRDIE AT 7. AND YOU CERTAINLY WOULDN’T RULE OUT A CHARGE FROM THE AUSTRALIAN HERE IN HONG KONG. HE FINISHED SECOND AT LAST YEAR’S HONG KONG OPEN.

>> David: THAT’S ANIRBAN LAHIRI. SECOND SHOT INTO THE FIRST. NICE LITTLE KICK AND SOME SPIN. >> Arlo: TO THE GREEN AT 4, LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN FOR BIRDIE. THE START OF TWO BIRDIES. >> Jerry: EITHER DRASTICALLY MISSED HIS LANE THERE OR ABSOLUTELY MISREAD IT. VERY STRAIGHT LACKING PUTT. YEP. MISREAD. >> Su-Ann: YEAH.

AND, JERRY, THAT WAS DEFINITELY A MISREAD LOOKING AT THE PAY HE WAS LOOKING AT THE PUTT BEFORE YOU CAME ON AIR. HE WAS LOOKING AT THAT RIGHT TO LEFT. MARTIN THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL APPROACH SHOT. NOT GOING TO MOVE TOO MUCH. >> Arlo: THIS IS THE THIRD.

>> DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM COVER 230 WITH WHATEVER YOU ARE TRYING TO HIT RIGHT NOW? I MEAN I FEEL LIKE YOU CAN HIT A SHOT AND CHASE IT UP ON THE GREEN RIGHT IN FRONT. DON’T YOU? >> YEAH. TAKE THIS RIGHT HERE. >> OKAY.

>> Dom: YOU HEARD BENJI THOMPSON YOU CAN GET TO THE FRONT EDGE THE GREEN WHICH IS THE PLAY. BOTH HE AND MATT JONES HIT DRIVER OFF THE TEE AND LAID UP SHORT OF THIS BUNKER. >> Arlo: WHILEst WE HAVE WAIT A MOPE AGO THIS IS A DEAN BURMESTER’S TEE SHOT AT THREE.

>> David: A LITTLE WATER HAZARD THAT RUNS DOWN THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE. RIGHT THERE. >> Arlo: NOW ABE’ER IS. >> David: HE HAS WATER. >> Dom: THAT’S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY, THAT’S CLOSE DEPENDING ON THE BOUNCE, HE GOT A GOOD BOUNCE. JON RAHM WITH HIS THAN DRIVER.

>> Jerry: ADAM HAYES HIS CADDY WINS THAT ARGUMENT TODAY. >> Arlo: THAT WILL EXERCISE SOME DEMONS FROM RED. THIS IS WHERE JOHN MADE HIS TRIPLE BOGEY 7. BUT HE STARTED BEAUTIFULLY TODAY WITH TWO BIRDIES TO GET IT BACK TO PITCH UNDER PAR. >> GET TO YOUR NEAREST POINT THERE. >> YEAH. OKAY.

AND I GO ONE, WRIT? >> ONE FROM THERE. >> Jerry: DEAN BURMESTER TAKING A PENALTY DROP. PENALTY RELIEF FROM THE HAZARD OR PENALTY AREA THINK ONE SHOT. AND THEN WHEN THE TWO CLUB LENGTHS GETS HIM AT THIS TIME ATE TO THE MIDDLE OF THE CART PATH AND TAKING RELIEF FROM THE

ON INSTRUCTION AS ITS KNOWN IS CART PATH. IT SEEMS LEAK A PROCESS, THAT’S UNNECESSARY, BUT THERE ARE MANY REASONS FOR IT, ONE OF WHICH BEING THE PLAYER MIGHT ACTUALLY CHOOSE TO LAY IT OFF THE CARD PATH IN CERTAINLY SITUATIONS. >> David: AT THE 9th HOLE, BUBBA WATSON. YEAH.

>> Arlo: CAM SMITH COMING OFF THAT BIRDIE AT 7. THIS IS THE TEE AT 8. [ APPLAUSE ] >> Arlo: CHACARRA, HIS SECOND AT 4. >> David: OH, MAN. HE YANKED ON THE CHAIN THERE. >> Dom: JERRY, WHICH IS WHAT I THOUGHT HE WOULD DO IS PLAYOFF THE CART PATH I THOUGHT HIS

NEAREST POINT WOULD BE NEAR THE HAZARD BUT THE RIGHT-HANDER, THIS LOOKS REALLY GOOD. COULD CREEP TO THE FRONT EDGE OF THE GREEN. >> Arlo: WELL, FOR THE TIME BEING AT LEAST, DEAN BURMESTER AS A ONE-STROKE LEAD AND AND THERE IS A SIX-WAY TIE ON 7 UNDER PAR, ONE BACK.

>> WE ARE COMING THINK YOU GUYS GOT US LAST WEEK I THINK GIVE SOMEONE ELSE A CHANCE. AND IF YOU DON’T WANT TO GIVE US A CHANCE WE’LL JUST TAKE IT AWAY. >> Arlo: FIGHTING TALK FROM DEAN BURMESTER BUT THE CRUSHERS WERE 11 BACK AT THE START OF PLAY AND

ENDED UP WINNING BY 4 HAVING GONE 20 UNDER PAR AND, REMEMBER, ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY ALL FOUR SCORES COUNT TOWARDS THE TEAM TITLE. >> Jerry: WHO YOU TAKING IN A CAGE MATCH BETWEEN BURMESTER AND BRYSON? >> Arlo: I WOULDN’T LIKE TO BUMP INTO DEAN IN A DARK ALLEY. >> Jerry: EITHER OF THEM ACTUALLY.

BOUNCE AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE DOES NOT WANT ON THIS SHOT. >> David: LOOKS LIKE HE CAN FRAY OUT TO THE GREEN THERE. >> Dom: NO, HE NEEDS TO LAND IT THREE, FOUR FEET SHORT BUT THERE ARE THREE SPRINKLER HEADS ON HIS LINE. VERY LITTLE BUNKER SHOT HAS DONE PREDICTED.

IN FACT I THINK IT CHEERED DOM UP CONSIDERABLY. >> Arlo: JERRY YOU MUST MENTIONED ABU DHABI AND THE PROMOTIONS EVENT WHAT IS THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN DUBAI AND ABU DHABI. >> Jerry: DUE LAY BEY THEY DON’T PLAY THE IF I WANT FLINTSTU DHABI DO. >> Arlo: YOU BEAT ME TO IT.

RANKINGS AND YOU KNOW WHEN THIS IS NEWS JERRY FOLTZ HAS THOUGHTS. >> Jerry: THE LATE GREAT KEN A FRIEND OF YOURS, DAVID, ONCE SHARED A LOT OF WISDOM WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE ONE THOSE WAS HIS FATHER WHEN TOLD KEN WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG YOUNG MAN THAT WHEN YOU

ARE GOOD YOU DON’T NEED TO TELL PEOPLE. THEY TELL YOU. AND I AM GOING TO RELATE THAT TO THE WORLD GOLF RANKINGS THE FORMERLY OFFICIAL WORLD GOLF RANKINGS AFTER LIV GOLF AND COMMISSIONER CEO WITHDREW THEIR APPLICATION FOR RANKINGS WITHIN THAT SOMEWHAT ANTIQUATED SYSTEM. THE REASON BEING, BECAUSE IT’S

ONE THING FOR ME TO STAND HERE AND TELL YOU WHAT LIV GOLF IS AND HOW GREAT THESE PLAYERS ARE BUT IT KIND OF FALLS ON DEAF EARS SOMETIMES BECAUSE I’M A FAN AND EMPLOYEE AND AN A APOLOGIST FOR WHAT I THINK IS A VERY EXCITING NEW FORM OF GOLF THAT

WE BRINGS TO THE FANS, ALL YOU HAVE TO ON IS LISTEN TO THE PLAYERS ON THE PGA TOUR AND THEIR OPINIONS THE GUYS THAT BENEFIT FROM IT THE MOST. THE PGA TOUR AS A VESTED FINANCIAL INTEREST IN CONTROLLING THOSE OWG RESEARCH POINTS FOR A STRENGTH OF FIELD THAT’S COMMENSURATE WITH THEIR

RIGHT, FEES, COMPENSATION FROM THE NETWORKS YOU LISTEN TO THE PLAYERS ON THE PGA TOUR THAT BENEFITED RANKING SYSTEMS THAT IS NOT VERY ACCURATE AND YOU SEE DUSTIN JOHN BE AT 266 IN THE WORLD AND YOU KNOW IT’S KIND OF A AS FAR AS. SO IT NOW IS INCUMBENT, ONLY

BENEFIT TO LIV GOLF AND THE OFFICIAL WORLD GOLF RANKINGS IS BECAUSE THAT HAS LON LONG BEEN A BENCHMARK BY WHICH MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIPS INVITE PLAYERS TO THEIR FIELDS. I BELIEVE AND IT’S STRUCTURALLY MY OPINION AND I HAVE NO REASON OR INFORMATION THAT YOU DON’T HAVE, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE

MAJORS HAVE PLAYED NICE AND TAKEN A BACKSEAT THROUGH ALL OF THIS CHAOS AND TURMOIL AND I THINK THEY HAVE GOT TAUPE A POINT NOW WHERE THEY ARE READY TO DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO PROTECTION THE LEGACY AND THE HERITAGE OF THEIR EVENTS TO KEEP THEM AS REVERED AS THEY ALWAYS

HAVE BEEN AS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOUR CHAMPIONSHIPS AND YOU DON’T HAVE THAT WITHOUT HAVING THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE FIELD. WE SAW THAT WITH A SPECIAL INVITE TO JOACO NIEMANN AT THE MASTERS AND ALSO THE PGA AND I BELIEVE TIME IS THINK DOING VERY SOON WHERE THAT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN.

AND I THINK IT’S ABOUT TIME. >> David: YEAH. WE GAVE THEM A CHANCE. >> Jerry: WE GAVE THEM A CHANCE. >> David: YOU KNOW. >> Jerry: IT IS UNFORTUNATE IT’S GOTTEN THIS FAR, BUT WE ALL WANT THE DUST TO SET AND A PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE IF THAT’S WHAT THE

FUTURE LOOKS LIKE, THERE IS A NEW 10 ENTITY WITHIN THE PGA TOUR PROVIDING POTENTIAL EQUITY FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE PGA TOUR, MUCH LIKE LIV GOLF HAS DONE THROUGH THE TEAM CONCEPT AND EQUITY AND STAKEHOLDERS WITHIN THE TEAMS AND THOSE BRANDS WE PAID SIGNING BONUSES TO A GREAT

OPINION OF THE PLAYERS THE PGA TOUR HAS A PROP LAYER A PROGRAM THAT PAYS ESSENTIALLY SIGNING BONUSES TO THEIR PLAYERS, IT’S JUST NOT THAT DIFFERENT THESE DAYS. >> Arlo: THIS IS BRYSON AT 9. YES. HE GETS ONE TO DROP. BRYSON ENJOYING HIS GOLF. BACK TO FIVE BE UNDER PAR,

4 BEHIND OUR LEADER, ABE ANCER WHO IS ON THE TEE AT SEVEN. >> Dom: WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HOLE FOR A GUY THAT SHAPES IT FROM RIGHT TO LEFT. >> Arlo: JERRY, HOW DO YOU SEE IT PLAYING OUT IN THE SHORT-TERM WHEN IT COMES TO LIV GOLF LEAGUE PLAYERS AND MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIPS? TAILLIGHT.

>> Jerry: WELL, MARTIN WAS INTERVIEWED AT BAY HILL THIS WEEK AND SAID THE RNA ACTUALLY CONSIDERED GIVING SPOTS DIRECTLY TO LIV GOLFERS THAT’S WHERE IT DOES THANK OUT EVENTUALLY I THINK. BUT IN THE INTERIM HE HAS GIVEN GREATER ACCESS TO THE QUALIFYING PROCESS FOR I INTERNATIONAL LIE PLAYERS THE MAJORS ALWAYS

REPORTED THE COMMUNITY. 46 OF THE TOP 50 ARE PGA TOUR MEMBERS THE OTHER FOUR ARE LIVE MEMBERS, THREE OF WHOM HAVE WON MAJORS WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS AND THE FOURTH BEING TERRIBLE HATTON. THE INTERNATIONAL GOLF TOURS HAVE GOTTEN THE SHORTENED OF EVERY SINGLE RULES CHANGE AND WEIGHTING SYSTEM FROM THE OWGR

THROUGHOUT THE LAST GENERATION. >> Arlo: DEAN BURMESTER NEXT. FAR. >> Jerry: DON’T GO LEFT HERE. >> David: AND JERRY I TOLD YOU, AGREEING WITH WHAT YOU JUST SAID AND TO BE HONEST I AGREE WITH OUR WITHDRAWAL FOR THE APPLICATION EVEN IF THEY GAVE IT TO US NOW, IT’S WAY TOO LATE.

A GUY LIKE DUSTIN JOHNSON, WHERE IS HE? HE WILL HAVE TO WIN FIVE, SIX TIMES OUT HERE TO GET BACK TO WHERE HE REALLY BLOCKS. >> Jerry: YEAH, 266 IS COMICAL. ACTUALLY BELIEVE WE COULD HAVE DONE — THAT LIV COULD HAVE DONE THIS A YEAR AGO. IT MIGHT HAVE SPED UP THE PROCESS.

BUT WE WERE TRYING TO PLAY WITHIN THE CURRENT ECOSYSTEM. AND I AM NOT SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF GREG NORMAN AND WE — WE BELIEVE IN WHAT WE ARE DOING OUT HERE. >> Arlo: KIERAN VINCENT. 13th HOLE. HE KNOCKS THAT IN FOR BIRDIE. RAHM AT 3. >> Arlo: HAROLD VARNER, III.

THIS IS THE GREEN AT 8. HIS SECOND SHOT. IS WHERE HE STARTED. THE BEGINNING OF HIS ROUND, 6 UNDER PAR. CARLOS ORTIZ OF TORQUE WAS A MEMBER OF RIPPER — FIREBALLS I SHOULD SAY, LAST SEASON AND HE’S BOT IT TO 3 UNDER FOR HIS TOURNAMENT AFTER WINNING THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL SERIES EVENT

IN OMAN TWO WEEK AGO, LUCAS HERBERT, HE IS COUNTING FOR RIPPER GC. SO FAR. THREE SCORES COUNTING TOWARD THE TEAM TOTAL. YESTERDAY AND TODAY ALL FOUR TOMORROW. THAT WAS FOR BIRDIE AT 17 AND THE AUSSIES ARE CLIMBING. THEY ARE IN FIFTH PLACE, 15 UNDER. >> David: THAT’S CHACARRA WHO

MISSED THE GREEN OVER THE BACK AT 8. AND HE’LL HAVE TO MAKE THAT ONE TO STAY ONE BACK. THAT IS NOT THE SPOT TO MISS IT. WELL, IN AMONG THE PAPER BARKS. DEAN BURMESTER. OVER AT 7. >> SPECIFIC WITH YOUR ANGLE. EXACTLY, YES. >> Dom: THEY CALL HIM CLEAN DEAN

HAD TO LAY COUPLE REALLY TESTING HIS WEDGE PLAY TODAY. PUTTING FROM MEASURE ON HIS PUTTER. HE HAS NO PRESSURE. >> Arlo: ON THE TEE AT 8 AND HERE IS OUR LEADER ABE ANCER. >> Dom: WITH A 7 IRON TODAY, THE TEE HAS BEEN MOVED UP OF COURSE SIX, SEVEN PACES PLAYING

186 YARDS, PEN ON THE LEFT SIDE. YESTERDAY IT WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE. SO THAT RUN-OFF AREA SHORT RIGHT SHOULD NOT BE IN PLAY. BUT A LEFT MISS HERE WELL, WILL RESULT IN I BOGEY. ALMOST GUARANTEED. UNLESS YOU HOLE A 20, 25 FOOTER. THAT’S RIGHT AND THAT MIGHT CATCH THE SLOPE.

OH, WATCH THIS. IS THAT UP HIGH ENOUGH. >> David: JUST HUNG ON BY THE SKIN ITS TEETH. BROOKS FOR BIRDIE AT NINE. JUST A TINY BIT HIGH. >> Arlo: BACK ON JOINTS AT . >> Dom: GOOD PIPP FOR MATT, STAR THE RIGHT CENTER OF THE GREEN. ALSO WITH THE 7 IRON, JUST LED

PAR 5 GREEN NOT TO BE REACHING A LONG SECOND SHOT. >> 18, 28. LIKE 246. >> OKAY, YEAH. >> Dom: NOT THE PLAYERS’ FAVORITE HOLE. >> Jerry: AS A PAR 5 THEY WOULD LOVE IT. >> Dom: I WOULD LOVE IT AS A PAR 5. BUT, YEAH, TAKES PRECISION.

AGE AT THOSE TWO BUNKERS IT DOES SUIT A RIGHT TO LEFT PLAYER ONCE AGAIN AS SO MANY HOLES DO ON THIS GOLF COURSE. THIS IS OUT RIGHT SOFT BOUNCE. >> Jerry: AMAZING FOR ME JUST THE — FROM JUST A MENTALITY STANDPOINT OUCH EASIER IT IS TO MAKE FEWER ON THE SAME HOLE WHEN

PAR IS MEANINGLESS IT’S JUST THE TOTAL SCORE TEND OF THE DAY. >> Jerry: JUST A WAY FOR LEADER BOARDS TO WORK IS ALL IT IS. >> David: BIG DRIVING IRON, WILL THIS BE A LOW ONE? NO, IT’S A HIGH ONE. UP THE RIGHT SIDE. LEAVING HIMSELF A LONGER SECOND

BUT HE WILL BE ON THE FAIRWAY. JUST. >> David: WHILE THAT WAS GOING ON, THIS WAS GOING ON AT 10. BROOKS REVVING ONE UP. >> Arlo: BACK TO NUMBER 9, AND ABE ANCER IS ON THE TEE. >> Jerry: ANCER SAID SOMETHING VERY INTERESTED YESTERDAY IN HIS POST ROUND, DOM, HE SAID WHEN HE

COMES TO A COURSE THAT HE KNOWS SUITS HIS GAME HE PUTS TOO MUCH PRESSURE OTHER HIMSELF AND TRIES TO GO TOO PERFECT. ALL DAY LONG YESTERDAY HE KEPT TELLING HIMSELF THIS COURSE DOESN’T SUIT ME I HAVE TO FIGHT FOR EVERY SINGLE SHOT. >> David: YEAH, HE DID. >> Dom: PLAYING MIND GAMES WITH

HIMSELF IT’S WORKING AT THE MOMENT. >> David: REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY. >> Arlo: ELSEWHERE A COUPLE OF ONE HEADS ARE DOING DECENT THINGS. THAT’S THE 17th HOLE ICHIRO KOZUMA FOR BIRDIE. 1 UNDER PAR, KEVIN NA FOR BIRDIE AT 11. BUT KEVIN IS 5 OVER FOR HIS ROUND THROUGH SEVEN SOMEBODY

HOLES HAVING TEED OFF AT 5. >> David: JON RAHM BIRDIES THE FOURTH. >> Arlo: 4 ACES GC. GRINDING AT THE RANGE AT THE SAME TIME. WHICH SWINGS ARE YOU TAKING? >> David: THREE DIFFERENT ONES THERE, THAT’S FOR SURE, THEY ARE ALL PRETTY GOOD. MAJESTICKS. >> Jerry: FROM A TRADITIONAL ESTHETICS STANDPOINT YOU WOULD

SAY PATRICK REED BUT THEY ARE ALL THREE GREAT GOLF SWINGS THIS IS THE ONE THAT MOST WANT TO EMULATE. LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN. >> Jerry: BROOKS IS NEXT. >> Su-Ann: A BIT OF A SLOW START FOR THIS GROUPING. BROOKS HAS BEEN HITTING GREAT SHOTS ALL A. JUST BURNING THE EDGES WITH A PUTT.

MISSED A FEW SHORT ONE EARLY, CERTAINLY WANT TO MAKE THIS ONE. >> David: THAT’S A MISREAD. >> Arlo: JON RAHM REACHED THE TEE AT 5. HE TEED OFF EARLIER AND OUR SHOTGUN START ON 16. BIRD IS THREE OF HIS FIRST FOUR AND BOGEY 4 AT THE PAR THREE SECOND AND SUBSEQUENTLY CARTED

ANOTHER TWO BIRDIES. SO MOSTLY VERY GOOD FOR JON RAHM TODAY HE HAS IT TO 7 UNDER PAR, AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET TO WITHIN TWO OF OUR LEADER ABRAHAM ANCER . >> Arlo: MARTIN KAYMER FOR FR BIRDIE. >> David: SAW BROOKS KOEPKA’S CRUISE BY ON THE RIGHT. COULD BE FORGIVEN FOR MISSING

OUT THE DROP FROM THE CART PATH IN THE PENALTY AREA, ANCER WILL PLAY. >> Dom: SLIGHTLY FLATTER LIE. AND I LITTLE BIT CLOSER. >> David: THAT’S FINE INTO THE HEART OF THE AGREE YOU TAKE 4 HERE AT 9 AND RUN TO THE 10th TEE. >> Arlo: BRANDEN GRACE HAS

REACHED THE TEE AT 5. 1 UNDER PAR FOR HIS SURROUND SO FAR TODAY AND STINGER LEVEL IN SECOND PLACE WITH THEIR NEW ADVERSARY THE CRUSHERS. [SPEAKING AT THE SAME TIME] >> Arlo: A FAINTING GOAT NAMED AFTER HIM IN SOUTH AFRICA. >> David: YEAH. >> Jerry: THAT FAINTING GOAL

GOAT WAS A NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE VILLAGES. >> David: PAUL CASEY AFTER THAT HORRIBLE BREAK HITTING THE FLAG STICK. >> Dom: MATT JONES GOT RELIEF. THEN GOT FURTHER RELIEF FROM THE T.I.O. THE MINI CAMERA TOWER IN FRONT OF HIM. UNFORTUNATELY HE HAS HAD TO DROP IT ON A SEVERE UPHILL LIE AND

THAT IS LEFT. THERE IS A PENALTY AREA LEFT MEDICALS IT CATCHES THE BUNKER. >> David: OH, IT CAUGHT THAT GREEN SIDE BUNKER. >> Arlo: HAROLD VARNER. HIS APPROACH SHOT INTO THE RATHER RUCKUS 3. >> David: MAKE SURE THEY GET IT FAR ENOUGH UP THIS GREEN. NO SPIN, THAT’S BOULET’S BURN IN FRONT.

[ LAUGHTER ] >> David: BOULET’S BURN. IN FRONT OF THE 10. >> Arlo: WASN’T FAR WAY FOR BRYSON. >> Jerry: HE’S HAD ABOUT FOUR OF THOSE ALREADY TODAY. THINKS THAT BRYSON WILL WIN HIS SECOND MAJOR THIS YEAR. >> Jerry: BASE ON THE HIS PLAY LAST YEAR HE’S TRENDING IN THAT DIRECTION.

>> David: CAM SON RON SMITH ON THE 13th. THIS IS HIS THIRD SHOT OF THE PAR 5. AND HE’LL MAKE BIRDIE THERE. >> Arlo: THAT WILL BE FIVE BIRDIES IN 7 FOR CAM SMITH. >> Arlo: PHIL FOR BIRDIE AT 4. THIS IS JON RAHM ON THE GREEN AT 5.

AND HE IS PUT PUTTING FOR ANOTHER BIRDIE. TO THE 9th AND MATT JONES SHOULD BE FIRST. >> Dom: FORTUNATELY HE FOUND THE BUNKER, JUST A FEW BASES LEFT OF THAT BUNKER. HE’S ON A SLIGHT DOWNHILL LIE. LOTS OF BUNKER TO CARRY. SO A CHUNK AND RUN IS REALLY NOT

AN OPTION, WHICH IS THE SHOT THAT YOU WANT TO PLAY. AND IT’S SO SEVERELY PITCHED FROM WHERE HE IS TO THE PIN. THAT IF IT COMES UP ON OUGHT A TYNER AND DOESN’T CATCH TOO MUCH SPIN HE’LL BE IN THE OTHER BUNKER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GREEN.

HE PLAYED THAT MAG ANY SENTLY. >> Jerry: JUST GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. >> Dom: THEY SAY HE’S A GREAT BUNKER PLAYER, DON’T NEED TO CONVINCE ME. >> David: NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. >> Arlo: ANTHONY KIM FOR BIRDIE AT THE FOURth. >> Arlo: BACK TO THE GREEN AT 9 AND ABRAHAM ANCER IF A

TWO-STREAK ARE STROKE LEAD. >> Arlo: CAM SMITH DID MAKE HIS BIRDIE AT 13. >> Dom: REALLY TOUGH HOLE FOR ABE ANCER THIS NINTH HOLE COMING IN WITH A LONGER SECOND SHOT. HE’S NOT THE HIGHEST BALL HITTER SO JUST TO FIND THE MIDDLE. GREEN ON THE BACK HALF OF THE

GREEN WAS A GOOD EFFORT. HE’S HAVING BENJI ATTEND THE PIN ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE SEEN. AND THAT’S HOW YOU ATTEND THE PIP ALL YOU AMATEURS OUT THERE. STAND ALONG WAY FROM THE HOLE. >> Jerry: I DON’T BELIEVE AMATEURS ATTEND THE PIN ANYMORE AT ALL.

>> Dom: NO, NOT ANYMORE. >> Jerry: I LIKE IT, I KNOW DAVID AND I DISAGREE WITH THE PHILOSOPHY ON THAT. BUT IN MY OPINION, ONLY WAY THE FLAG STICK LEFT IN THE HOLE CAN HELP IS IF THE BALL IS GOING TOO FAST TO HAVE GONE IN OTHERWISE. AND THAT’S RARE IN THE

PROFESSIONAL GAME. >> Arlo: D.J. TEEING OFF AT 2. >> Arlo: BACK TO THE GREEN AT 9 AND DEAN BURMESTER FOR BIRDIE. >> David: SOMETHING OF A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION THERE. >> Arlo: WELL, IT’S SIMMERING NICELY ON CHAMPIONSHIP SATURDAY. WE HAVE 9 TO PLAY IN ROUND TWO OF THE HONG KONG GOLF CLUB.

♪ MUSIC PLAYING ♪ >> Arlo: WE ARE AT THE HONG KONG GOLF CLUB AN HISTORIC PROPERTY HERE. LIV GOLF HONG KENG 2024 THE 20th DERTH MARKET THAT WE HAVE BEEN TO IN OUR 2 1/2 YEARS IN EXISTENCE, YOUR ANNOUNCE TEAM, ARLO WHITE MYSELF, JERRY FULTZ AND DAVID FEHERTY IF THE BOOTH.

DOM BOULET AND SU-ANN HENG OUR ON-COURSE ANALYSTS. AND IT’S A CHILLY ONE OUT THERE TODAY. JUST 63 FAHRENHEIT. 17 CELSIUS. AND IT’S A DAY FOR THE HOODIES AND THE LONG SLEEVES. I HAVE BROKEN OUT THE EMERGENCY COLD WEATHER CARDIGAN AS WELL. IT’S INTERESTING OUT THERE, AS

YOU CAN SEE AT THE TOP OF THE PYLON ABRAHAM ANCER AFTER HIS 63 YESTERDAY, 3 UNDER PAR FOR HIS ROUND SO FAR, A 1-STROKE LEAD AT THE MOMENT OVER MATT JONES, DEPARTMENT BELLSTER HOLDING ON STRONG ON 8 UNDER, BIG MOVERS N JON RAHM AND CAP SOMETHING ANCER

AS WELL AS DAVID PUIG HAS THE FIREBALLS TO THE TOP OF THE PYLON IN THE TEAM COMPETITION. LET’S SEND IT OUT TO OUR ON-COURSE ANALYST SU-ANN HELPING WE’LL START WITH YOU. I KNOW YOU DON’T LOOK A CHILLY DAY BUT WHAT HAVE YOU EXPERIENCE ON THE YOU THE THERE SO FAR.

>> David: IT IS COLD TOO COLD FOR ME AS FROM SINGAPORE. IT’S PROVEN TO BE SO TODAY. OUT OF THOSE THREE PLAYERS ONLY ONE PLAYED THREE THROUGH TO 91 AROUND PAR. THEY ARE ON THE BACK NINE RIGHT HOW AND I TALKED ABOUT HOW THE GOLF COURSE HILL END OPEN UP

THEY HAVE THE PAR 513th TO PLAY. THEY ARE OFF TO A SLOW START IT’S GOING TO BE TOUGH TO CATCH UP. >> Dom: ABE ANCER MISS ONE FAVOR WAY YESTERDAY AND ONLY TWO TODAY AND NOT MADE A BOGEY SO FAR. HE CAN TRY TO CON SINCE VINCE HIMSELF THAT THIS COURSE DOESN’T

SUIT HIM IT SUITS HIM TO A TEE. HE DOES HITS IT FROM RIGHT TO LEFT AND NAVIGATED THE FRONT NINE BEAUTIFULLY AND THE BACK NINE IS EASIER. AS WE HAVE BEEN SAYING ALL WEEK I EXPECTS HIM TO SHOOT ANOTHER TWO OR THREE UNDER, ANOTHER 63 ON THE CARDS. >> Jerry: SOME BROOKS KOEPKA

HIGHLIGHTS STARTING OUT AT NUMBER THROUGH. PLAYED THIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE PITCH SHOT, DAVID. >> David: YEAH, LANDING THAT ON THE FRINGE IS SO DIFFICULT TO JUDGE. >> Jerry: MOVING ALONG TO THAT SEVENTH HOLE, NICE LITTLE SHORT APPROACH SHOT. AND SU-ANN BROOKS, WE HAVE SAID IT ALL WEAK, A JUST QUIETLY

LURKING THERE AND LURKING ALL ALL YEAR ACTUALLY. THE BACK NINE PLAYS A LITTLE BIT EASIER THAN THE FRONT. DO YOU THINK HE’S POSITION TODAY MAKE A MOVE? >> Su-Ann: I THINK HE’S BEEN HITTING GREAT SHOTS ALL DAY TODAY. HE’S BEEN PUTTING HIMSELF IN GREAT POSITIONS, OTHER THAN THAT

KIND OF UNFOR FORCED ERROR THE FOURTH HE’S HITTING BALL BEAUTIFULLY HE’S JUST BREAK ARE MAKING GREAT PUTTS, HE’S STARTING TO WORK ON MAYBE TRYING TO OPEN UP HIS ALIGNMENT A LITTLE BIT. HE STARTED GETTING SHUT WITH HIS ALIGNMENT. WHICH GOT HIM MORE STUCK ON THE WAY DOWN. SO HE’S TRYING TO GET THE

BALTIMORE LEFT AND SWING AROUND HIS BODY AND HOPEFULLY HE’LL KEEP GOING AND MAKE BETTER SWINGS AND TRY TO MAKE BIRDIES ON THE BACK. >> David: THESE GUYS ARE USE TODAY FLAILING GOLF COURSES THAT ARE NEARLY A THOUSAND YARDS LONGER THAN THIS ONE. WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS GOLF

COURSE THAT MAKES IT STAND UP SO WELL? >> David: I THINK IT’S A VERY STRATEGIC GOLF COURSE, RIGHT? MAKES YOU THINK, IT NEIGHBORS YOU THINK OFF THE TEE, MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR SECOND SHOT I SPOKE TO DOM YESTERDAY AND WE TALKED ABOUT HOW THE GREENS ARE REALLY PROTECTING THE GOLF

COURSE, IT’S A VERY TRADITIONAL GOLF COURSE THE GREENS ARE TINY AND ALL HAS LIKE VERY SUBTLE SLOPES AND THEN IF YOU MISS IT ON THE WRONG SIDE. YOU HAVE REALLY BIG BREAKING PUTTS IF YOU MISS IT LONG AS WE HAVE SEEN ALREADY TODAY AND IN MY GROUP A LOT OF QUICK PUTTS

FROM BACK TO FRONT I THINK THE GREENS ARE WHAT IS PROTECTING THE GOLF COURSE. >> Jerry: NOBODY KNOWS THIS COURSE BETTER THAN DOM BOULET. ABRAHAM ANCER IS TRYING TO CONVINCE HIMSELF IT DOESN’T SUIT HIS GAME THINK WE ALL KNOW BETTER. THIS IS HIS SHE COULD SHOT AT 4 UP THE HILL.

AND THEN A VERY NEXT HOLE WITH HIS BACK FACING THE HOLE, DAVID. >> David: THIS IS A REMARKABLE PUTT. JUST TO GAUGE THE SPEED AND THE LINE, PERFECTLY AS HE DID. THAT JUST RAN RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE HOLE. >> Jerry: NOT DONE YET. AS HE MOVES TO NUMBER 7. THIS.

NOT AN EASY ONE, CATCHES THE RIGHT CORNER. AND, COME, YOU GOT A DIVERSE STYLE OF GAMES IN YOUR GROUP. THE BACK 9, YOU KNOW IT SO VERY WELL. WHO IS GOING TO EXCEL? >> Dom: WELL, I THINK LONG HITTERS WILL HAVE AN ADVANTAGE THERE. THEY — THE 11th HOLE

CERTAINLY SHOULD BE PLAYING DOWN WIND, DEAN BERM “WILL GET IT A LONG WAY DOWN THERE AND THEN THE FAR 5 13th ALSO AND HE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LENGTH MAYBE ON 15 AND DRIVE IT OVER THE STREAM THAT ONES ACROSS THE WATER AND EVEN 17.

IT’S QUIET COAL BUT A LONGER HITTER HAS THE ADVANTAGE ON THE BACK NINE. >> David: WHO IS IT OUT THERE THAT IS NOT AMONG THE LEADERS THAT HAS A CHANCE OF PUSHING THROUGH. >> Dom: LISTENING TO YOU GUYS YOU ARE SAWING CAM IS PLAYING GREAT. HE PLAYED FANTASTICALLY HERE BACK IN NOVEMBER.

HAD A CHANCE TO WIN THE HONG KONG OPEN. JON RAHM ARGUABLY THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD, AND HE TOLD ME THIS WEEK THAT HE LOVES IT GOLF COURSE, SO OBVIOUSLY THOSE ARE THE TWO THREATS. >> Arlo: OH, LOOK AT LITTLE DOM THERE. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Arlo: CLUTCHING THE TROPHY.

BACK IN THE BLACK HAIR DAYS. BACK IN THE AIR DAYS, DOM. >> David: YEAH, YEAH. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Dom: IT’S ALL GONE INTO MY EARS NOW. THAT’S GOOD HISTORY WITH THE 62. BUT LOOKING AT YOUR GROUP OUT THERE. ABRAHAM ANCER IT’S TOUGH AT THE TOP AND DIDN’T TO WIN LEAGUE

GOLF LEAGUE EVENTS WE KNOW THEY CAN ALL PLAY. A LOT OF IT WILL COME DOWN TO TEMPERAMENT WHEN THE PRESSURE IS REALLY ON. HE APPEARS TO BE VERY LEVEL HEADED OUT THERE. CAN VERY OBSERVANT OF YOU ARLO, HE LOOKS SO COMPOSED MAYBE THAT MINDSET THAT JERRY WAS MENTIONING THAT HE WANTS TO MAKE

OUT THAT THIS COURSE DOES NOT SUIT HIM IS HELPING HIS MENTALITY. BECAUSE HE IS JUST GOING ABOUT HIS BUSINESS AND NOT REACTION TO GO ANYTHING GOOD OR BAD ON THE GOLF COURSE. >> Arlo: BROOKS HAS AN OPPORTUNITY HERE FOR BIRDIE AT 11. IS PHIL IS ON THE TEE AT FIVE.

FAIRING MUCH BETTER TODAY, THREE UNDER FOR HIS OPENING NINE HOLES. >> Arlo: ONE NAME WE DIDN’T MENTION IS CAMERON SMITH AND HE HAS IT TO 7 UNDER PAR, THIS WAS FOR BIRDIE AT 11. HILL HIS THIRD AT 13, CAM SMITH 7 UNDER FOR THE COMPETITION, AND

RIPPER GC IN A TIE FOR THIRD AT 19 UNDER AND HERE IS ANOTHER RIPPER, MATT JONES. >> David: DON’T PIN TOO MUCH THAT’S BOULET’S BURN. >> Jerry: I BELIEVE THAT’S GOING TO STICK WITH THE MEMBERS HERE, DAVID. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jerry: 39 YEARS MEMBER HERE COME BOULET HAS BEEN AND THE

HIGHEST EVER FINISH EVERYTHING FROM A HOPPING CONGER I GUESS AS IT’S SAID IN THE HOPPING CONGRESS HONG KONG OPE. ABE ANCER NEXT. >> Dom: MATT JONES LOOKED LIKE HE GOT A GOOD BREAK THERE. >> Dom: YOU CAN SEE THAT HALFWAY HOUSE BEHIND, GUYS, THAT’S WHERE

WE HAVE A DRINK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROUND AND WHEN I PLAY WITH MY BUDDIES THE HIGH SCORE ON THIS HOLE BUYS THE DRINKS AND I HAVE BEEN IN THAT BERM PLENTY OF TIMES AND BOUGHT MAIN ROUNDS. >> Jerry: THAT WAS EUGENIO CHACARRA PLAYING HIS APPROACH AT 11.

HE’S 3 BACK, TRYING TO CHANGE THAT. >> David: BURMESTER NOW. >> Dom: OH, HE HIT THAT HEAVY. >> David: OH, NO,. >> Dom: IS IT GOING TO GET THERE? NO, THAT’S WATER. >> David: THAT’S THE ONE THING YOU CAN’T DO. JON RAHM WITH HIS SECOND SHOT AT 6.

>> Jerry: CAM SMITH FOR FOUR IN A ROW AT 14. DON’T LOOK OVER SURE SHOULDER ABRAHAM ANCER YOU HAVE RAHM, SOMETHING, STENSON WORKING BACK THIS. KOEPKA. MAJOR CHAMPIONS GALORE, SPEAKING OF WHICH LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN AT 12 FROM THE FRONK BUNKER. >> David: DIDN’T QUITE FLY THAT ONE AS FAR AS HE WANTED AND OUT

THE DOWNSLOPE. [SPEAKING AT THE SAME TIME] >> Jerry: SOAR, DAVID LITTLE MATTHEW WOLFF HAD TO WITHDRAW LAST WEEK DUE TO ILLNESS, HE’S GOT THIS REGAL OUT AT 13. — GOT THIS FOR EAGLE OUT AT THEIR TEAM, CRUISING ALONG AT 4 UNDER, HE’S NOT OUT OF THE CONVERSATION YET.

DANNY LEE A WINNER A YEAR AGO IN TUCSON. SECOND AT 18 FOR THE IRON HEADS, POSE ON THE GROUND A ONE HANDED FINISH, RARE. BRINGS A RYE SMYTH TO HIS FACE, QUIETLY HUMOROUS GUY. HIS TEAMMATES ABSOLUTELY LOVE. ALL THE PLAYERS DO NOW. BURMESTER FINANCIAL AFTER THE APPROACH ENDS UP DROPPING THIS

TWICE AND FINE EIGHTH PLACE WHERE IT WILL COME TO REST. >> Dom: THIS IS USUALLY AJELLO PENALTY AREA FOR THE MEMBERS THEY CHANGED TO TO RED. HE HAD THE OPTION TO DROP ON THIS SIDE. >> ONCE IT CROSSES THE LINE I CAN STOP IT. >> YEAH, YEAH. >> Jerry: THIS MIGHT NOT END

WELL. BROOKS FOR BIRDIE AT 12. >> Arlo: A CHANCE FOR JON RAHM AT SIX TO GET TO WITHIN TWO. YES. OTHER THAN THAT BLEMISH OF THE TRIPLE ON 18 YESTERDAY. JON RAHM HAS BEEN PAYING ABSOLUTELY — PLAYING ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY. HE’S 8 UNDER PAR WITHIN 2 OF ABRAHAM ANCER. >> David: CHACARRA 11 FOR

BIRDIE. AND CATCHES THE LEFT EDGE AND TOPPLES IN. DEAN BURMESTER HAS DROP THE BALL TWICE. AND PLACED IT SHOULD GET THIS UP AND DOWN, NOT SUCH A TOUGH SHOT. >> Dom: MUCH EASIER THAN IF IF IT’S FROM THE OTHER SIDE. >> David: FOR SURE. >> Dom: THAT’S A POOR SHOT.

>> David: JUST OVER DID IT. >> Arlo: PAR PUTT 4, LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN AT 12. SOLO SECOND, THREE WE HASN’T A SURGE THE FIREBALL OUTFIT. SERGIO GARCIA’S TEAM 11 UNDER FOR THEIR ROUNDS SO FAR. EUGENIO CHACARRA ON 2 UNDER NOT COUNTING FOR THEM. LOUIS NOT COUNTING FOR STINGER.

AND HE IS 2 OVER FOR HIS ROUND. >> David: SEBASTIÁN MUÑOZ OVER AT 8 FOR BIRDIE. >> Arlo: NEXT TO THE GROWN AT 10 AND ABE ANCER FOR BIRDIE. >> Dom: HE’S GOING TO USE DEAN BURMESTER’S MARKER AS AN AGE POINT. HE WANTS TO BE JUST INSIDE OF IT AS IT PASSES.

IT WASN’T CLOSE ENOUGH TO IT. >> Arlo: BROOKS KOEPKA MADE HIS PAR AT 12th. IT WILL STAY FOR MATT JONES WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO TIE THE LEAD. >> Jerry: THE WAY HE’S ROLLING HIS BALL. THIS IS BETTER THAN 50/50. >> David: GOT THAT RIGHT. >> Arlo: WELL, THE HONG KONG

AS INTRICATE AS I HAVE EVER SEEN, IT’S THE SAME 54 PLAYERS EACH WEEK. THEY PLAY AT THE SAME TIME. THEY COULDN’T BE A MORE ACCURATE SAMPLING THAN THAT CONTROLLED SAMPLING ENVIRONMENT NOW. SU-ANN HAS CAUGHT BACK UP WITH THE GROUP. >> Su-Ann: THIS WAS ONE OF THE PLAYERS THAT WAS

ON YOUR LIST TO BE IN THE FINAL GROUP, JERRY. >> Jerry: YES, INDEED. >> David: STEADY ROUND TODAY. BRENDAN GRACE. HE WASN’T FEELING TOO WELL EARLY ON THIS WEEK. HOLE LOCATION IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN. ANYTHING LEFT AND JUST A LITTLE BELOW IS IDEAL. >> Arlo: AT 12.

CHACARRA TO AT THE GET TO WITHIN 1. STILL NOT COUNTING FOR THE FIREBALLS HE’S TWO UNDER FOR HIS ROUND SO FAR. ABE ANCER IS COUNTING. >> Dom: GOOD LIE. IF YOU GET A JUMP ELI HERE WITH THE BACK PIN BEHIND THE GREEN THIS IS A DANGEROUS SHOT BUT HE

HAS A GOOD LIE AND HE HAS AN 8 IRON. CAME OUT VERY LOW. HE GOT A GOOD KICK. STILL LONG PUTT. >> Arlo: SAME FOR MATT JONES. >> Dom: WHO DECEPTIVELY LONG. NOT PAR BEHIND DETERMINE BURMESTER WHO ABSOLUTELY SMASHED THAT ONE, ALSO AN 8 IRON, ALSO VERY LOW. >> David: GOOD SWING.

CHARLES HOWELL THIS WAS A MOMENT AGO. THAT’S BIRDIE. THAT NUMBER 12. >> Arlo: 9, SEBASTIÁN MUÑOZ WITH HIS SECOND SHOT. RAILROAD BEAUTY THERE. >> Arlo: CAM HIS THIRD AT 15. >> David: PLAYED THAT VERY WELL. >> Arlo: NOW JON RAHM ONE OF THE SURGING STARS HERE ON SUPER SATURDAY IN HONG KONG.

FIREBALLS BY 2. >> Arlo: THE GREEN AT 7 BEING SU-ANN, PATRICK GREEN’S FIRST PUTT FOR BIRDIE. >> Su-Ann: BIT OF A SLOW START FOR PATRICK TODAY. NOT THE GROUND THAT HE WANTED. THIS GOLF COURSE DOES SUIT HIS GAME. WON AT THE MASTERS, HE’S ONE OF THE BEST AT PLOTTING AROUND.

A GOLF COURSE LIKE THIS. NOT SURE IF BRENDAN GRACE IS GOING TO GO FIRST. TALK ABOUT REED, PUT IN A NEW GOLF BALL. IF HE CONTINUES LINING THAT UP WE’LL CHECK IN ON BUBBA FROM THE RIGHT ROUGH AT 17, PLAYING HIS SECOND. >> Arlo: THEY MIT NOT BE TAPING

GOATS BUT THEY ARE FEELING WOOZY DOWN IN 11th PLACE. IAN POULTER HAVING A GOOD WEEKEND SO FAR, 1 UNDER TODAY, FIVE UNDER OVERALL THIS FOR BIRDIE AT NINE TO BE FOR THE 2010 HONG KONG OPEN CHAMPION. >> Jerry: ABE ANCER AT 11. >> Dom: JUST A FEW DROPS OF RAIN WE CAN FEEL.

BUT YOU WON’T EVEN GET WET. A VERY SLOW PUTT FOR ANCER, HE COULDN’T CATCH THAT SECOND SHOT OUT OF MIDDLE OF THE CLUB FACE. >> Arlo: ABRAHAM ANCER, THAT’S SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT. HE’S HAVING A DAY, 11 UNDER PAR A 1-STROKE THREAD FOR THE FIREBALLS MAN WHO ALSO THREAD BY 3.

>> David: OVER AT 13 THE PAR 5. BROOKS JUST OFF THE LEFT EDGE. THIS IS FOR EAGLE. A LOT OF FRINGE TO COVER. HE DID WELL. PATRICK REED ON THE SEVENTH. >> Su-Ann: HE AS ANY NEW GOLF BALL THAT HE PUT IN HIS BAG THIS YEAR. SWITCHED OUT FROM THE TITLEIST

TO A CALLAWAY. >> Jerry: PATRICK REED MAY HAVE A NEW GOLF BUTT BUT HE HAS THE OLD PUTTER. HOW CONSISTENCY HE WANT IS THAT. >> David: HE’S HIT A LOT OF PUTTS WITH THAT IF. >> Jerry: AND HE DOESN’T MISS THE SWEET SPOT. RAHM HAS THIS UPHILLER NOW, SU-ANN.

>> Su-Ann: HIS SECOND SHOT JUST SPUN BACK A LITTLE TOO MUCH. SPEAKING OF PATRICK REED. HE SPENDS A LOT OF TIE ON THE PUTTING GREEN. HE HAS MANY, MANY TEES PUT DOWN EARLY IN THE MORNING. DOES HIS DRILLS, THIS WILL BE A SLOW PUTT. YOU GOT A GOOD REED FROM BRENDAN GRACE.

UPHILL LEVEL TO RIGHT. >> Arlo: MATT JONES HAS SEEN ABE ANCER TICK A ONE-STROKE LEAD AT 11. THIS TO LEVEL IT UP. D.J. FOR BIRDIE AT 4. D.J. COUNTING FOR THE 4 ACES WHO ARE 16 UNDER OVERALL AND THEY ARE IN FIFTH PLACE. >> Jerry: KAYMER. ONE OVER ON HIS ROUND TODAY FOR

BIRDIE AT 13. >> David: BRYSON WITH HIS SECOND SHOT INTO THE ELEVATED 14th GREEN. OH, EASY, EASY, EASY, EASY. >> Jerry: OH. >> David: RUN UP HAD AND PLAY IT QUICK. >> Arlo: JOAQO NIEMANN’S SECOND AT 15. UP AND DOWN SORT OF DAY FOR JOAQO SO FAR, A BIRDIE, AN EAGLE.

COUPLE OF BOGEYS. AND ANOTHER BIRDIE OPPORTUNITY THERE TO STAY IN CONTENTION. THIS IS THE TEE AT 12. ABRAHAM ANCER OUR LEADER ON 11 UNDER PAR, WILL BE FIRST TO TEE OFF. >> Jerry: TAKE A LOOK AT THE SCORES THUS FAR TODAY. GREEN BIRDIE, YELLOW PAR FOR UGLY RED SQUARE THAT DOESN’T FIT

IN A SKITTLES PACKAGE IN OUR SKITTLES GRAPHIC. FOUR BOGEYS THERE TODAY. STILL AVERAGING ALMOST A 10th AFTER I STROKE UNDER PAR IN ROUND TWO. >> Arlo: WHAT’S THAT AN OPAL FREUD OR SPAR BURST. >> Jerry: STAR BURST, I LIKE THAT. YEAH. >> Dom: IT WAS ABOUT THIS TIME YESTERDAY THE WIND STARTED

PICKING UP AND CERTAINLY PICKED UP IN THE LAST FEW MINUTES, THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW HOLE HERE. THE OLD HOLE WAS TO THE RIGHT. CIRCULAR GREEN SURROUNDED BY BUNKERS. CERTAINLY THE TOURNAMENT PLAY THIS IS A BETTER HOLE. BUT IT’S A RELATIVELY OTHERS I PIN TODAY. HE’S PULLED A 9 IRON FOR

144 YARDS, WIND OFF TO THE RIGHT AND INTO HIM. WHERE THEY STAND IS PROTECTED. THEY WON’T BE FEELING THE WIND THAT I FEEL RIGHT NOW. OH. THAT’S WAY SHORT. >> David: BUT WOW, WHAT A BOUNCE. >> Arlo: WHOEVER YOUR FAVORITE PLAYER IN THE IF I HAVE FOUR —

OF THE 54 LIV GOLF LEAGUE GOLFERS IS YOU CAN WATCH ANY OF THEIR SHOTS. LIV GOLFPLUS.COM. ANY SHOT, ANY TIME. AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN THE RESURGENCE OF ANTHONY KIM AFTER ALMOST 12 YEARS AWAY FROM TOP-LEVEL GOLF. >> Dom: THIS IS REALLY GOOD.

>> Jerry: JUST A HALF A BAD TOO MUCH. NOW RAHM ON THE TEE AT EIGHT. >> Su-Ann: I THINK 182. HE HAS 7 IRON. I THINK THE SECOND HARDEST HOLE YESTERDAY THAT WAS LARGELY TO DO WITH THE HOLE LOCATION. TODAY A BIT MORE ACCESSIBLE. FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE GREEN,

THIS IS LOOKING GOOD. >> Arlo: NOW IN A GLOBAL SPORTS LEAGUE LIKE LIV GOLF JET LAG COMES WITH THE TERRITORY IN THIS WEEKS FTF DAVID FEHERTY EXPLAINS HOW TROUBLESOME IT CAN BE. >> David: HELLO, FEHERTY HERE, AND THIS WEEK I COME TO YOU FROM THE FUTURE. OR THE PAST. I DON’T KNOW.

FOR THE LAST SIX WEEKS I HAVE BEEN IN MEXICO, LAS VEGAS, BELFAST, JEDDAH AND NOW HONG KONG AND, FRANKLY, RIGHT NOW I DON’T KNOW IF I AM BLOWN UP OR STUFFED. AFTER 50 YEARS OF CHASING MY OWN WRISTWATCH AROUND THE GLOBE, I FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT IT IS THAT CAUSES JET LAG.

IT’S THE DAMN JETS. EVERYONE IS IN SUCH A HURRY TO BE SOMEWHERE ELSE THEY LEAVE TIME AND OFTEN THEIR LUGGAGE BEHIND THEM. YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF BOAT LAG I BET OR TRAIN LAG. OR DONKEY LAG. I BET. I’M A GREAT BELIEVER IN THE BETTER LIFE THROUGH CHEMISTRY.

SO A STRATEGIC SLEEPING PILL CAN BE, OR AS I LIKE CA CALL IT AMBIENT IS A REQUISITE. THAT STUFF WOULD PUT SEA BISCUIT TO LEAP. IMAGINE HAVING TO ROLL OUT OF BED WITH YOUR BODY AND MIND WRECKED AND HAVING TO PERFORM A PHYSICALLY PRECISE JOB THAT DEMANDS PERFECTION AT THE

HIGHEST LEVEL IMAGINABLE AGAINST A BUNCH OF RUTHLESS COMPETITORS WHO DEPOSIT DOWN WANT TO SEE YOU FAIL. AT THE END OF THE DAY JET LAG IS KIND OF LIKE DIVORCE EXCEPT IT DOESN’T EVEN SEEM LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME. IT’S PAINFUL, INFURIATING, EXPENSIVE, AND AT THE END OF IT

EVEN WHEN IT’S OVER YOU FEEL LIKE YOU LOST HALF OF TIME TO SOMEBODY YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOW. >> Arlo: I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, I AM HAVE INA GREAT WEDNESDAY SO FAR. >> David: THERE ARE TIMES DURING MY CAREER WHERE I HAVE WOKEN UP IN THE MORNING OR THE EVENING,

AS YOU HAVE DONE, A COUPLE OF TIMES, THIS WEEK AND I HAVE HAD TO CHECK IN MY WALL FEED CURRENCY TO MAKE SURE THAT I AM WHERE I THOUGHT I WAS. >> Arlo: I DID WAKE UP ON TUESDAY AFTER ARRIVE AND DOM HAD ORGANIZE AID LOVELY MEAL FOR US,

WE HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR A WEEK AND I MADE THE MISTAKE OF SHUTTING THE BLACKOUT CURTAIN SEWS I WOKE UP AND LOOKED AT THIS PHONE AND IT SAID 1905 AND IT TOOK A GOOD TWO MINUTES TO COMMUTE THAT THAT WAS 7:05 P.M. AND I HAD EXCELLENT THE ENTIRE

DAY AND MISSED THE DINNER. >> Jerry: WHAT TIME DID DID IT SAY WEDNESDAY WHEN YOU EXCELLENT THROUGH YOUR MEETING. >> Arlo: THAT WAS EARLIER BUT 2:00 P.M. AND THE MEETING WAS ABOUT 1:00 AND I WAS ON THE NAUGHTY STEP FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS FOR THAT ONE. >> Jerry: THIS WEEK AND LAST

WEEK I FELT LIKE AN INFANT IN SOME REGARDS. WELL, NOT YOU THINK I THINK LIKE AN INFANT BUT YOU DO. I HAVE EXCELLENT WHEN MY BODY TOLD ME TO AND IT’S JUST NOT WORKING. I AM UP AT 1:00 EVERY NIGHT AND FALLING ASLEEP HALF THE TIME FEELS LIKE DURING THE SHOW.

AND DOM AND SU-ANN, YOU GUYS TRAVEL FROM THIS PART ARE WORLD ALL OVER THE WORLD JUST TO DO YOUR JOBS, I CAN’T IMAGINE WHAT YOU GUYS GO THROUGH. >> Su-Ann: I MEAN, YOU GUYS ARE COMPLAINING WE CAME FROM JEDDAH. THAT’S A FIVE-HOUR DIFFERENCE, THAT’S IT. FIVE HOURS.

DOM AND I HAVE TO DEAL WITH 13, 14 HOUR TIME DIFFERENCES AND YOU GUYS JUST ARE A BUNCH OF BABIES. >> Dom: HELLO JET LAG MY OLD FRIEND. YOU HAVE COME TO TALK TO ME AGAIN. THAT SONG PLAYS IN MY MIND EVERY TIME. I WAKE UP AT 1:00 IN THE MORNING

AND I DON’T GET BACK TO SLEEP UNTIL THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER A LONG DAY OF WORK. IT’S HORRIBLE, ISN’T IT? >> Arlo: IT’S ONE THING, YOU KNOW, SITTING IN FRONT I’VE DESK IN FRONT OF A MICROPHONE TALKING ABOUT THE GAME OF THE PLAYERS MUST HAVE THEIR OWN ROUTINES TO DEAL WITH IT.

THEY ARE GOING BACK-TO-BACK IN PLACES LIKE SAWED RAPE RABE, HERE — SAUDI ARABIA HERE IN HONG KONG, AUSTRALIA AND ASSOCIATION PORE THEY MUST HAVE TO GIVE INTO IT AND BE VERY, VERSUS DISCIPLINED THEIR SLEEPING PATTERN. >> David: THERE IS CHEMISTRY INVOLVED I AM TELLING YOU. >> Arlo: THE VELVET SLEDGE HAMMER.

>> Jerry: MATT JONES. THIS FOR BIRDIE. DR. SAY PAEA THE BASICALLY BOOK DOCTOR FOR EVERYBODY THAT TRAVELS TO ALL THE EVENTS AND IS ALWAYS ON HAND FOR ANYBODY INVOLVED WITH LIV GOLF SHOULD THEY NEED HIS HELP I ASKED HIM FOR A LITTLE HELP THE OTHER DAY

AND HE — I TOLD HIM WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH THE LAST TWO WEEKS AND HE TOLD ME TO TRY A BENADRYL. AND I THOUGHT, OKAY. THAT SOUNDS BASIC. THAT’S NOT A VELVET SLEDGE HAMMER BY MAY ANY MEANS AND I GAVE NAME GRIEF AND HE GAVE ME

GRIEF BACK I SAID HOW MANY YEARS OF MED SCHOOL DID THAT TAKE RAILROAD REALLY. BENADRYL THAT’S LIKE A CUP OF COFFEE. >> Jerry: IT WORK. BUT HE ONLY GAVE ME ONE. >> Su-Ann: I THINK THE KEY SO JET LAG IS TO NOT TAKE NAPS IF YOU TAKE NAPS IT JUST KILLS YOU.

>> Arlo: I USUALLY JUST PUT A READ. >> David: RUN ON OF ANOTHER ROUND OF FULLY, BUT IT WAS REALLY GOOD TODAY. >> David: THAT WILL DO IT. >> Jerry: RAHM. MADDENING LEAVING IT JUST THAT LITTLE BIT SHORT. >> Arlo: WELL, A FEW MOMENTS AGO, ABRAHAM ANCER HAS GOT IT TO

12 UNDER PAR TO EXTEND HIS LEAD AT THE TOP OF THE PYLON. 5 UNDER FOR HIS ROUND TO ADD TO HIS 63 7 UNDER PAR YESTERDAY AND HE’S PLAY BEAUTIFULLY. >> David: HAROLD VARNER FOR EAGLE AT 13. AND AND HE POPS THAT ONE IN. >> Arlo: JOAQO NEED NIEMI MAN

FOR BIRDIE AT 15. IDENTIFY BALLS HAVE A 4-STROKE LEAD OVER RIPPER GC AND THE CRUSHER. HERE IS BROOKS KOEPKA, SHE SED SHOT AT 14. >> David: OH, NOT A GREAT PUTT FROM EUGENIO CHACARRA THERE. >> Jerry: BRANDEN GRACE FOR BIRDIE AT 8. >> Su-Ann: HE HASN’T PUTTED VERY WELL THIS SEASON UNFORTUNATELY.

THE LAST STATS. >> Jerry: ABE ANCER ON THE TEE AT 13. >> Dom: BACK BIRDIES LACKING FOR THREE IN A ROW ON THIS PAR 5. BUT WITH A COLD, SLIGHT BREEZE IN HIS FACE HE HAS TO HIT TWO GOOD ONES TO GET THERE THIS NBA TWO AND MUST AVOID THE TWO

BUNKERS ONE ON THE LEFT AND ONE THE RIGHT. JUST TO BE IN PLAY FOR HIM I THINK. CERTAINLY THE ONE ON THE LEFT. >> Jerry: SCORING OF AVERAGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FAIRWAY AND MISSING IT RIGHT. >> Arlo: LET’S TALK A LACK AT THE 13th HOLE THEN, DAVID HERE AT THE MAGNIFICENT HONG KONG

GOLF CLUB. >> David: 13 IS ONE OF THOSE HOLE, KNIFE 29 YARDS, THE FAIRWAY THAT SLOPES FROM RIGHT TO LEFT. YOU REALLY WANT IT TRY TO HIT A CUT IN HEAR TO HOLD IT UP AND IN BETWEEN THE BUNK ORES TO THE FRONT EDGE OF THIS GREEN.

WE GO BACK TO MATT JONES ON THE TEE. >> WE HAVE A SHOT FROM OVER HERE, DON’T WE? >> WE DO. >> OKAY. >> Dom: ANCER HAS PLACED IT IN AN IDEAL SPOT. JUST AVOID THE BUNKER, THREE YARDS TO THE RIGHT OF IT. MATT JONES SHOULD START AT THE

RIGHT TRACK AND TRY TO TURN IT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE FAIRWAY. OH, IT’S NOT TURNING. WILL THAT CATCH THE BUNKER SOME. >> David: IN BETWEEN THEM. >> Dom: OH. >> Arlo: ANCER CHASING A THIRD CONSECUTIVE BIRDIE. HE BIRDIED THIS HOLE YESTERDAY OF THAT WAS HIS FIFTH IN A ROW.

HE LEADS BY 2. >> Arlo: TO THE 15th AND PAUL CASEY. VERY MUCH DOWN PLAYED HIS ROLE IN THAT MAGNIFICENT CRUSHERS’ COMEBACK LAST WEEKEND. WHEN THEY WENT 20 UNDER ON THE FINAL DAY. PAUL WITH A 1 UNDER PAR 69, BUT HE DIDN’T HARM THEM. >> David: GOOD SHOT THERE.

>> Arlo: THIS IS A PAR PUTT FOR CAM SMITH AT 16. AT 16. HE DROPS BACK TO 6 UNDER PAR. >> HERE BRYCENT WITH THE 16th HOLE. GAVE THAT THE FULL TREATMENT. JUST JUST A BIT TO THE RIGHT. >> TO THE CLUSTROPHOBIC NINTH. >> THIS SHOULD FIT HIS BALL SHAPE.

>> A BABY DRAW THERE. >> EXCELLENT. >> JON RAHM IS ON THE NINTH. >> TEXTBOOK GOLF ALL THE WAY TO THE 18th. MADE A TRIPLE. MADE A PAR AND THAT’S THREE SHOTS BETTER. HE’S CERTAINLY PLAYING TEXTBOOK GOLF TODAY. STARTING THIS RIGHT ON TOP OF THE LEFT SIDE BUNKER. HEADED TOWARDS THE RIGHT BUNKERS.

>> ANTHONY KIM ON PAR THREE 8. >> LOVELY SHOT. >> TOLD ME LAST WEEK HE LOOKED UP AND THE BALL WAS HEADED LEFT. HE COULDN’T FIGURE OUT WHY. ONCE WE GOT HERE GOING THROUGH THE EQUIPMENT TRUCK THEY NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED. HIS LOB WAS 2.3 DEGREES TO UPRIGHT. THAT MEANS INSTANT LEFT.

ANTHONY IS FEELING LIKE HE’S GETTING TO THE POINT NOW HE CAN FEEL WHAT THE SHOTS ARE DOING COMING OFF THE CLUB FACE. THAT’S A PRETTY BIG RISK IN MY OPINION. MATTHEW WOLFF OUT AT 16. >> MAT’S SECOND SHOT RIGHT HERE. HE WILL TRY TO CUT IT AGAINST THE SLOPE. HE’S DONE IT.

IT’S IN THE BUNKER. RIGHT. >> PRETTY GOOD TO MACON TACT. IT’S SUCH AN INCREASED PROBABILITY. >> LANDED ON THE FRONT EDGE WITH HIS DRAW. LET IT RELEASE. FLIRTING WITH THE BUNKER. >> THE LIV GOLF FANTASY IS UNDERWAY. PICK YOUR TEAM AND COMPETE AGAINST FRIENDS AND FOE FROM AROUND THE WORLD.

WATCH YOUR TEAM PILE ON AND WIN GREAT PRICES AND BRAGGING RIGHTS AGAINST YOUR PALS. IT’S FANTASY BUT LOUDER. A GATEWAY TO ENJOY THE LIVE GOLF LEAGUE. >>> BRYSON. WIDE RIGHT TO HIS APPROACH AT 15. 43 FEET AWAY TO GET IT TO 8 UNDER PAR. >> WOULD HAVE LOOKED A LOT BETTER BUT

PROBABLY WOULDN’T HAVE GONE IN. >> SECOND SHOT AT 14. >> NEXT TO THE GREEN AT 8. AK FOR BIRDIE. >> ANTHONY, WHEN HE WAS JUST STARTING TO PLANT THE SEED OF MAYBE A RETURN TO GOLF A YEAR AGO. HE WAS OUT PLAYING WITH HIS WIFE. JUMP THE CREEK TO PLAY WITH HIS WIFE

AT OKLAHOMA CITY. BROKE HIS ANKLE. WAS IN A CAST FOR FOUR MONTHS ARLO. >> THAT’S NICELY DONE. HOW MANY PEOPLE BREAK THEIR A ANKLE ON A GOLF COURSE. >> IS THAT RHETORICAL? >> I WAS TALKING TO DAVID. HE PROBABLY CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING WORST. >> THERE WAS AN ENGLAND CRICKETER

WHO BROKE HIS NECK ON A GOLF COURSE AND OUT FOR NINE MONTHS. >> I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING AS WE WATCH PAUL CASEY PLAY. HE’S A VERY WELL KNOWN EUROPEAN PLAYER. HE BROKE HIS OWN LEG ON THE DIME SWING. IT’S SUCH AN ACHIEVEMENT IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

>> AT THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP NO LESS. >> YES, IT WAS. HIS LEG JUST BROKE. THERE WUSS NO EXPLANATION. IT JUST SNAPPED. >>> WOW. >> MATT JONES. 10 UNDER PAR. THIS IS HIS THIRD SHOT AT THE PAR 5. >> HIT A WONDERFUL BUNKER SHOT ON THE NINTH. YOU TALK TO THE OTHER PLAYERS THEY

RATE HIM THE BEST IN THE GAME. PERFECT. HE HAS A VERY SIMILAR LINE TOO. EXPECT THESE TO BE GOOD SHOTS. IT’S QUIET A LONG WAY. >> OH, HE CAUGHT THAT BEAUTIFULLY. >>> SO GOOD TO PLAY IT THAT WAY AND GET SOME SPIN ON IT. >> RAHM. SECOND SHOT AT 9.

HE HAS A 6-IRON. OH, BOY. THAT’S HEADED LEFT. >> HIS FOOT HIT RIGHT ON THE DOWN SWING. >> THERE WAS A LITTLE WATER HAZARD IN THERE. >> LET’S SEE IF HE CAN DO IT AS EASILY AS JONES COULD. >> TRY BETTER. >> IT’S NOT THAT EASY OF A SHOT. HE’S PLAYING BEAUTIFULLY.

>> YES. AT 16 FOR BIRDIE. REALLY RECOVERED TODAY. IT’S TWO OVER UNDER ROUND. 5 UNDER SINCE THEN. 7 SHOTS BACK. PHYSICIAN. SOON TO BE 8 IF THIS DOESN’T DROP. >> TEAM BURMASTER HAD A BEAUTIFUL SHOT AT THE 13 HERE. HOW IS THIS FOR AN EAGLE. >> HE NEEDS IT, DOESN’T HE, DAVID.

>> YEAH, HE NEEDS SOMETHING TO GET HIM BACK ON TRACK. >> STARTED HIS ROUND LEVEL WITH ABRAHAM WITH 7 UNDER PAR. THERE IS NOW FOR THE TIME BEING AT LEAST SIX STROKES BETWEEN THEM. EUGENIO CHARCARRA HAS MOVED INTO THIRD PLACE. >> HE’S NINE UNDER PAR FOR HIS BIRDIE AT 14.

GARCIA IS 4 UNDER AND LIKEWISE ABRAHAM ANSWER. >> JUST A LITTLE. >> CHALLENGE FOR BIRDIE TO KEEP PACE WITH ABRAHAM. HE MADE BIRDIE BUT HASN’T PUT IT OUT YET. JUST A TAD BIT REMAINING. >> HAROLD AT 14 TO GET TO NINE UNDER PAR. THEY ARE BUNCHING UP IN BEHIND ABRAHAM ANCER.

HE’S SHOWING NO SIGNS OF CRACKING AT ALL LEADING BY 3. >> FOR HAROLD IT DID TAP-IN. >> CAREFUL. >> OH. >> BACK OUT. >> WE THOUGHT HE MIGHT BE IN THIS LITTLE DRAIN. I SUSPECT THAT WAS WHAT HE WAS PLAYING FOR. >> ABRAHAM ANCER IS 6 UNDER PAR THROUGH 13 HOLES.

HE’S REACHED THE 14th TEE ON THE FINAL 5 HOLES ALL PAR 4s. >> ANOTHER HOLE THAT SUITS HIS SHOT. SHAPED PERFECTLY. PHYSICIAN. HE COULD HAVE HIT THE DRIVER HERE BUT ELECTED NOT TO. THAT LOOKS IDEAL. JON RAHM IS FOURTH NOW. >> SO SMART, THE WAY HE PLAYED THAT FROM THE TERRAIN TO THE

BUNKER DELIBERATELY. RAHM WILL DROP A SHOT BACK TO UNDER PAR AND 6 BACK TO ABRAHAM ANCER. THIS IS DEAN BURMESTER. OVER BY 6. JONES IS NEXT. >> I LOVE HIS PRESHOT ROUTINE. HE WILL STEP-IN AND BARELY TAKE A STANCE BEFORE THE CLUB HEAD STARTS GOING BACK. >> NEVER GETS THE CLUB BEHIND THE

BALL. >> NO. NO. >> THEY MIGHT HIT TREES. >> OH, WHAT A BREAK. DIDN’T LOOK LIKE IT WOULD EVERY CATCH THE BREAK. PROMISING. >> A GLOOMING HONG KONG GOLF CLUB. TIED FOR SECOND WITH LOUIE. LAST WEEK HIS BEST RESULTS SINCE WINNING IN LONDON IN 2023. IT’S 5 UNDER PAR. SMASH DOWN IN EIGHTH

PLACE. GMAC IS 4 UNDER TODAY. NEIMAN FOURPLAY OFFS IT TOOK. FINISHED IN LAS VEGAS AND THEN A COMFORTABLE VICTORY. HERE HE IS WITH HIS SECOND SHOT OF 17. >>> FROM GARY MATTHEWS. GARY MATTHEWS IS HAVING THE BEST YEAR OF HIS CAREER AND IT’S MARCH. >>> WELL, THAT WAS A DECENT EFFORT.

NOWHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS HIS APPROACH YESTERDAY. >> IT’S HIS CAREER. >> HERE IS SERGIO. >> THEY HAVE A DECENT LOOKING LEAD HERE BUT COULD CHANGE WHEN ALL FOUR SCORES COUNT. JUST ASK THE STINGERS. >> A MINIMAL OF 35. CALLING IT LIKE 38. >> 43. IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE STRAIGHT ACROSS.

>> YEAH, IT SHOULD BE JUST ACROSS. >> YEAH. >> TRY TO LAND THIS 38, 39 PLAYING. >> I’M FINE WITH THAT. COME DOWN AS TWO GUYS RIGHT THERE. >> YEAH. >> ALL RIGHT. >> STARTS ONLINE AND PUSHED IT FIVE YARDS PUSHING WEDGE. YOU MISSED IT TO THE RIGHT HERE ON THE 15th TEE.

>> WHAT A GREAT SHOT. >> JUST WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR. >> BRYSON AT 16. >> THIS IS FOR BIRDIE. >> BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ROLE. >>> HE’S TAKEN UP HIS TIME AND YEAH HE HAS. WOW. >> LIV GOLF CONTINUES TO PROVIDE THE MOST OUTSTANDING VIEWER EXPERIENCE IN GOLF. LAST WEEK WE

THE EXACT SPOT PATRICK HAD A CONTROVERSY WHEN HE WAS IN THE HONG KONG OPEN. THE EXACT SAME SPOT AND REMOVING THE EXACT SAME BRANCH. YOU THOUGHT THE CLUB WOULD HAVE REMOVED IT BY NOW. >> WHAT THE ACTUAL YOU KNOW WHAT IS HE THINKING? >> IF THEY BALL BOUNCES IT COULD END

PRESSURE ON HIMSELF. KNOWING THE WAY HE PLAYED AND HE DOESN’T HAVE TO TRY TO BE BE PERFECT. NOT FEELING LIKE I HAVE TO BE PERFECT TO WIN THIS. >> NOT AT ALL. ESPECIALLY IF HE HAS A BIG LEAD WHICH HE HAS RIGHT NOW. IT’S THE COMPOSURE I HAVE BEEN MOST IMPRESSED WITH.

I DON’T KNOW, IT’S THE PERCEPTION TOO. THE TEE SHOT HE HIT ON 17. I DON’T KNOW IF IT’S THE BACK LEFT. HE PLACED IT ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. >> HE’S A REALLY TECHNICIAN. PLAYING THE DISPOSAL GOLF COURSE BACKWARDS. WHERE DO I WANT TO LEAVE IT OFF THE TEE. THAT’S WHAT HE’S DONE SO BRILLIANTLY.

I DON’T CARE WHAT YOUR PERSPECTIVE IS, THAT IS NOTHING LESS THAN RESPECTFUL AT MINIMUM. >> YOU KNOW, JERRY, I WAS LOOKING BACK BECAUSE HE WAS PLAYING BEHIND US AND CAUGHT HIM WALKING DOWN A FEW FAIRWAYS, AND HE SEEMS TO BE ENJOYING

HIMSELF BACK OUT HERE. I SPOKE TO HIM LAST WEEK, REALLY GOT THAT SENSE OF GRATITUDE TO BE PLAYING OUT HERE. HE IS A LEGEND. >> BRYSON DECHAMBEAU IS PUTTING FOR EAGLE AT 3. LEVEL ROUND. THIS IS HIS FINAL HOLE. THAT WAS AND ENDS

WITH A FLOURISH, A 68 TO ADD TO HIS 65 YESTERDAY, AND HE’LL GO INTO CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY – 7, EIGHT IN BACK OF ABRAHAM ANCER, AND WE KNOW HE’S CAPABLE OF GOING VERY, VERY LOW ON ROUND THREE. >> JERRY, THIS IS A TRICKY ONE.

SHOTS BACK, AND TRYING TO NARROW THAT GAP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BEING – 6 GOING INTO THE FINAL DAY. RIGHT-TO-LEFT PUTT. >> AND HE’S HAD HIS FAIR SHARE OF THOSE, TOO. LOVELY TRY. >> HOW DID THAT PUTT NOT GO IN FOR JON. I WAS STANDING ON

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HOLE. LOOKED LIKE IT WAS IN ALL THE WAY. YOU COULD TELL BY HIS EXPRESSION HE REALLY WANTED TO MAKE THAT. >> AND THE TEAM PORTION OF THE COMPETITION, THESE TEN STROKES IS A REALISTIC BENCHMARK

TO BE ABLE TO COME FROM BEHIND, EVEN THOUGH WE SAW THAT IN THE LAST TEN HOLES LAST WEEK. FIREBALLS LEADING THE WAY BY THREE OVER RIPPER GC, AND CLEEKS IN POSITION FOR ANOTHER PODIUM. >> PATRICK REED, ONE OF THE GUYS THAT

HAVE PLAYED SO WELL AND HAVE YET TO PIN OUT HERE. J — TO WIN OUT HERE. JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS. STRENGTH TO FEEL THE DISCIPLINE OUT HERE. >> AND THAT BRINGS TO A CONCLUSION SUPER SATURDAY IN HONG KONG, AND FANS

APPEAR TO BE ENJOYING THE TOURNAMENT HERE. FABULOUS GOLF TO PLAY. JON, OTHER THAN A DIFFICULT TIME AT 16, YOU LIKE TO PLAY. >> WHERE I COME FROM IN SPAIN, IT’S NOTHING BUT TREE LINED HOLES. IT WAS EVERYTHING I WANTED IT TO BE.

IT WAS ONE BAD SWING AND ONE BAD AREA THAT CAUSED ME TO FALL. HOPEFULLY I CAN KEEP DOING WHAT I’M DOING AND POST A REALLY GOOD SCORE TOMORROW AND GIVE ABRAHAM A LITTLE BIT OF A SCARE. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK

IS GOING TO BE KEY TO CLOSING IT OUT TOMORROW. >> I NEED TO DRIVE IT LIKE YESTERDAY. IF I CAN DRIVE IT LIKE YESTERDAY, I THINK I CAN GIVE MYSELF A CHANCE. MY WEDGE GAME IS AS GOOD AS IT’S EVER BEEN.

I THINK IF I CAN DO GOOD OFF THE TEE I THINK I CAN GIVE MYSELF A CHANCE. >> LAST WEEK, CRUSHERS CAME BACK FROM AN 11-POINT DEFICIT. WHAT DO YOU THINK NEEDS TO BE DONE MORE? >> I WILL SAY WHAT I SAID YESTERDAY.

I THINK WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING. HOPEFULLY WE CAN FINISH WITH A GOOD SWING AND A GOOD ROUND. THEY’RE BOTH FIGHTERS, SO HOPEFULLY THEY CAN COME OUT WITH A BIT OF EXTRA ENERGY TO FINISH IT STRONG. >> WELL PLAYED TODAY.

SEE YOU TOMORROW. >> THANKS. >> THANKS, SU-ANN. A 64 FOR JON RAHM. HE IS – 9, BUT HE TRAILS ABE ANCER BY SIX. >> FASCINATING DAY, AND ABRAHAM ANCER IS CLEARLY THE BEST PLAYER OUT THERE THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, AND IT’S NOT REALLY

CLOSE. >> NO, NO IT’S NOT. HE HASN’T PUT A FOOT WRONG, HASN’T MIHAD A BOGEY, HASN’T MISSED A FAIRWAY. >> BUT THE BIG TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE, JERRY, CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY. >> YEAH. WHEN YOU HAVE A BIG LEAD LIKE THAT, IT’S ESSENTIALLY, IN A SMALL WAY, ACTUALLY

IN A BIG WAY, YOU AGAINST YOURSELF. HE GOES OUT, SHOOTS TWO OR THREE TOMORROW, IT’S BASICALLY HIS. – 4 OR – 5, THAT WOULDN’T BE A GIVEN. THIS IS ONE HE WANTS VERY, VERY BADLY. WE HAVE WITH LIV, I THINK I COUNTED 41

PLAYER THAT ARE CURRENT MEMBERS OF LIV GOLF LEAGUE THAT HAVEN’T WON. GRANTED, WE DON’T HAVE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES AND WE HAVE A LOT OF NEW PLAYERS, BUT ONLY 15 PLAYERS HAVE WON. ANCER’S THE ONLY GUY DOWN FROM 500, EXCUSE ME, AND RAHM,

WHO DOESN’T HAVE A WIN. >> 33-YEAR-OLD ABRAHAM ANCER HAS PLAYED 36 HOLES OF GOLF. 63 YESTERDAY, AND HE WENT ONE BETTER TODAY WITH A 62. THIS IS HIS SECOND SHOT INTO THE FOURTH. THAT WOULD LEAD TO BIRDIE. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.

THE JUDGMENT HERE AT 5 FOR BIRDIE, AND HE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO GO ON STREAKS. HE HAD FIVE STRAIGHT BIRDIES YESTERDAY, FOUR STRAIGHT TODAY. THIS IS BIRDIE AT 11. HE MISSED A COUPLE OF OPPORTUNITIES, AS WELL. NEXT, IT WAS BIRDIE AT 12, UNFLAPPABLE ON THE GREENS TODAY,

UNFLAPPABLE, FULL STOP, ABRAHAM ANCER. AND FINALLY, BIRDIE AT 14. ABRAHAM ANCER SEEKING A FIRST LIV GOLF TITLE. WE’VE SEEN JOAQO NEIMANN DO THAT ALREADY. VARNER AND CHACARRA ARE BOTH – 10. A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN, McDOWELL, 64 TODAY. BROOKS, 68, LIKEWISE

BRYSON, SO THEY STARTED THE DAY – 5, AND THEY ARE AT – 7. PROBABLY LEFT THEMSELVES WITH A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH. BUT IF YOU HAD TO SET A TARGET TOMORROW FOR ANCER, WHAT WOULD YOUR ROUND BE? >> I THINK IF HE

SHOOTS 65, HE’S SAFE. >> YEAH, THAT WOULD TAKE THE OTHER ONE SHOOTING 60. >> YEAH, HE NEEDS ONE OF THESE OTHER CHASING GUYS SHOOTING 60 OR 61, WHICH IS NOT BEYOND THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY, BUT HE THEY’LL NEED SOME HELP.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS HARDER TO SLEEP ON A BIGGER LEAD THAN A SMALL RUN. >> THE RIPPERS HAVE A FIVE-STROKE LEAD. YOU’VE SEEN A LITTLE BIT OF ANCER SO FAR. AS WE GO INTO SUNDAY, FIREBALLS AND RIPPER GC, BUT THE CLEEKS, THEY

ALWAYS GO LOW ON CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY. FOR THOSE LEAVING US NOW, IT’S TIME TO SWITCH OVER TO CLUB 54, THE LIV GOLF POST GOLF SHOW, WHICH CAN BE FOUND ON LIV GOLF + OR ON THE U.S.A. CW APP. COVERAGE FROM LIV GOLF AT 12:00 NOON

LOCAL, 1:00 EASTERN. GOOD-BYE FOR NOW. WE’LL SEE YOU THEN. >> AND THAT’S A WRAP. WE ARE LIVE AT THE END OF DAY TWO, AND WHAT A ROUND WE JUST SAW, ABE ANCER ENDING THE DAY AT THE TOP OF THE LEADER BOARD. WE’RE ALL HERE TO

TALK ABOUT IT LIVE ON CLUB 54 POST ROUND SHOW. WE HAVE A VERY SPECIAL GUEST IN THE HOUSE. HOW ARE YOU FEELING OUT THERE? >> A LITTLE WARMER NOW THAT I’VE GOT A HOODIE ON. >> TELL US ABOUT YOUR DAY. HOW DID YOU PLAY?

>> YEAH, JUST GOT VERY FRUSTRATED WITH MY GOLF. SPENT SOME TIME ON THE RANGE WITH THE SHOTS. NICE TO MAKE SOME SHOTS. >> YOU SAID YOU CHANGED SOME SWING THOUGHTS? >> YEAH, [indiscernible] NO, HE’S BEEN GREAT, YEAH, JUST WE TRIED

TO CHANGE SOME STUFF WEDNESDAY, WORKED ON THE RANGE. >> I SAW YOU AT THE SAUDI INTERNATIONAL LAST YEAR, AND YOU SAID FINALLY, WE DECIDED TO HIT A FAKE, BUT HE TOLD ME THIS MORNING THAT — ON THE RANGE THAT YOU WENT BACK TO HITTING A DRAW?

IS. >> I THINK WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD HAPPEN WITH THE FADE, THE ONE THING THAT HAPPENED WITH MY GOVE GOLF SWING, LOSING MY CLUB BEHIND ME, IT JUST CREATED ANOTHER PROBLEM EQUALLY AS BAD. IT WAS CAUSING A LOT OF POOR SHOTS.

IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT I DO, WHETHER I HIT A FADE OR A DRAW, THERE’S GOING TO BE A BIG MISS SOMEWHERE, SO I JUST DECIDED I WANTED TO SEE A DRAW AGAIN. I UNDERSTOOD WHAT THE BIG MISS WAS GOING TO COME FROM

AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT ISSUES I’D RUN INTO AND HOW I WOULD FIX THAT. >> WHEN YOU HAVE A BIG MISS, WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT, THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT? I WOULD IMAGINE IT’S THE RIGHT? >> SEE, HERE’S THE THING THAT EVERY PLAYER WOULD

PROBABLY SAY, THEY WANT IT TO GO RIGHT. I WANT TO GO LEFT. >> REALLY? >> I KNOW THE BALL IS GOING TO MOVE RIGHT TO LEFT, I JUST HAVE TO SHAPE IT A LITTLE BIT LESS. WHEN I GO LEFT TO RIGHT, I HAVE MORE

PROBLEMS. >> LUCAS, WE HAVE SOME HIGHLIGHTS FOR YOU TODAY. WE’D LOVE FOR YOU TO TALK US THROUGH THEM. >> BIRDIE ON 17. HAD A LOT OF LONGER PUTTS TODAY THAT HAD A DIFFERENT END. IT WAS NICE TO SEE THAT ONE DROP. >> HERE GOES ANOTHER

ONE. >> SECOND SHOT AT SEVEN, YEAH, FELT LIKE WE HAD A LOT IN BETWEEN. CLOSE ENOUGH. DIDN’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT BEING ABOVE THE HOLE. MUSIC BLARING. I CAN’T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS, SOME SORT OF GOOD LINE. FELT LIKE A 64 WOULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT FOR

THE DAY, SO I WAS VERY HAPPY TO GET THAT ON-LINE AND MOVE RIPPERS UP ANOTHER SHOT ON THE LEADER BOARD. >> HERE’S A TWEET, CAM SMITH HAS A SHORT GAME RIVAL IN HIS OWN TEAM. LUCAS HERBERT IS THAT GOOD.

>> I’M STILL LEARNING. I DON’T THINK I CAN BE THAT GOOD, BUT HOPEFULLY WITH A LITTLE MORE PRACTICE, I CAN BE THAT GOOD. >> LET’S TALK TEAM. WE LOVE TO TALK TEAM ROUND ON THIS POST GAME SHOW. TELL US ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THIS

GAME? >> IT’S AWESOME. YOU LOOK AT IT FROM AN OUTSIDE LIV ASPECT, AND YOU SAY, THERE’S NO WAY THEY CAN CARE THAT MUCH. IT’S SO COOL AT NIGHT TO COME BACK AND KNOW THAT, LIKE, I’VE CONTRIBUTED TO A TEAM. LIKE, YESTERDAY, IT SUCKED WALKING INTO

THE LOCKER ROOM KNOWING THAT MY SCORE DIDN’T COUNT. IT SUCKED KNOWING THAT I DIDN’T PLAY WELL ON SUNDAY, KNOWING THAT I LET THE TEAM DOWN. THE LAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN AWESOME. THESE GUYS PLAY TOGETHER ALL THE TIME. I SOMETIMES DON’T

MAKE IT, BUT WHEN I DO, WE ALL PLAY TOGETHER AND IT’S SO MUCH FUN. I FEEL LIKE I’M LEARNING SO MUCH. >> WHAT’S CAM SMITH LIKE AS A CAPTAIN? DOES HE GET MAD WHEN YOU DON’T PERFORM? >> NO, HE’S VERY EASY TO PLAY AS A CAPTAIN.

HE DOESN’T EXPECT ANYTHING OUT OF US THAT WE KNOW ISN’T GOING TO GET OUR GAME RIGHT. I’M WALKING OUT, KICKING MYSELF, NOT WORRYING WHAT HIS FEEDBACK IS ON THE ROUND. >> HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT YOU’RE GOING THROUGH. HE’S GOING THROUGH

THE SAME THING. >> YEAH, WE LAUGHED LAST WEEK. ONE OF HIS ROUNDS DIDN’T COUNT LAST WEEK, AND I THINK SOMEONE SAID THAT’S THE FIRST TIME HIS ROUND HASN’T COUNTED IN FOREVER. LOOKING BACK AT THE SCORES LAST WEEK, IT FELT LIKE EVERY WEEK LAST YEAR.

I CAN’T IMAGINE THE PRESSURE THE GUY IS UNDER, AND HE’S SO COOL, CALM, AND COLLECTED. >> LUCAS, ARE YOU DOWN FOR SOME TEAM HIGHLIGHTS? >> YEAH. >> ALL RIGHT. LET’S DO IT. >> YOUR CAPTAIN, HE SHOT 65 TODAY, TOO. >> THIS NEVER HAPPENS.

I FEEL LIKE I WATCHED HIM HIT THAT PUTT ON THURSDAY, FRIDAY. I’VE ALREADY SEEN THIS. BET THIS GOES IN. >> LOOK AT THAT. >> IS THAT A TEAM — THAT’S NOT ME HIGHLIGHTS. >> LOOK AT THAT STROKE. >> OH, YEAH. >> YEAH, THIS GUY IS

SO SOLID, AND JUST COOL AND CALM. IT’S LIKE HE DIDN’T EVEN GET UPSET. TUESDAY MATT JONES IS THE BEST GOLFER IN THE LEAGUE, AND IT JUST CONTINUED THIS WEEK. >> FOR THE NEW FANS OUT THERE, THEY’RE BECOMING A FAN OF YOU.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY TO THE NEW FANS OUT THERE? >> I THINK IT’S GREAT. I THINK ADELAIDE IS GOING TO BE UNBELIEVABLE. IT’S LIKE WE’VE GOT A GREAT EVENT IN AUSTRALIA WITH SOME OF THE BEST NAMES IN THE LEAGUE. LIV CAN NOW

FACILITATE A WHOLE NEW AUDIENCE. IN THE OLD DAYS, YOU LOOKED AT A KIND OF STUCK IN ITS WAYS SPORTS. WE’VE GOT D.J.s LIKE GRIFFIN PLAYING OFF THE ROUND. IT’S FUN TO BE AT THE TOURNAMENT, LET ALONE JUST WATCHING GOLF. >> SO MANY REASONS

TO BE FANS HERE. >> WE DO THIS THING EVERY SINGLE SHOW CALLED FORM CHECK. WE HAVE FANS SEND US A VIDEO OF THEIR SHOT. >> THE FIRST PROBLEM HERE IF YOU LOOK, LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT COLORS OF GOLF BALLS THAT HE’S HITTING ON THE

RANGE. >> THAT’S A VIOLATION. YOU CAN’T MIX-UP THE COLORS. >> KENNY, IF HE SWATS ANY FURTHER LEFT AT THAT, HE’LL HIT HIS TOE. KENNY, JUST START THE BALL AT 1:00. HE’S DONE WELL WITH THE MATS THERE. >> OFFICE SWING. SHIRT UNTUCKED TO

BEGIN WITH. THAT’S THE FIRST THING I SEE. I’LL TELL YOU, THAT’S NOT A BAD SHOT. WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE, MIDDLE OF THE DAY WHERE YOU JUST WANT TO GET A FEW PRACTICE SWINGS IN. >> THAT’S APPROVED. HERE’S ANOTHER. OKAY. >> GOLFERMIAMI. OKAY. THAT BALL POSITION’S

A LONG WAY BACK, BUT HE COVERS IT SO NICELY. THAT’S JUST THE EASIEST WAY TO COVER THE GOLF BALL. THE RED GLOVE, THAT’S A BIT OF A DISGRACE. WHAT IS THAT RED GLOVE? YOU GUYS GIVE ME THE EASY ONES. >> YOU WANT TO DO ONE MORE?

>> OKAY. HE’S LOADING UP. I THINK WE’VE GOT ANOTHER COLOR THERE. IS THAT BLUE TAPE? HAS HE TAPED THE CLUB TO HIS WRIST SO HE DOESN’T LET GO? >> HE SAYS HE’S HITTING BOMBS. >> YEAH, KEEP THAT AS HIGH, AS CONSISTENT AS POSSIBLE THROUGH

THOSE SWINGS. >> IF THE FANS ARE WATCHING, YOU JUST GOT SOME GREAT CRITIQUES FROM LUCAS HERBERT. >> IT WAS ALMOST A FIT CHECK RATHER THAN A FORM CHECK. >> IT WAS GREAT. ACTUALLY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I KNOW YOU’VE GOT TO

GO BUT YOU ARE WELCOME HERE ANY TIME. >> ENJOY, BOYS. I’D LOVE TO COME BACK. >> STICK AROUND. IT’S CLUB 54 POST ROUND SH . YOU KNOW, MORE TO COME WITH ME AND DOM. LET’S GO. LIV GOLF PLAYERS COMPETED ALL OVER

THE GLOBE LAST SEASON. >> A FEW WEEKS AGO. [indiscernible]. >> I WON THE DAN HILL CHAMPIONSHIP AND MAURITIAN. >> OBVIOUSLY, MY GOAL WAS TO GET INTO THE OPEN. >> REALLY GOING TO MAKE THEIR PRESENCE KNOWN THIS WEEKEND. >> BEING ABLE TO GET

A TITLE IN CHILE PLAYING AGAINST SOME OF MY TEAMMATES, IT WAS GREAT. >> THE ROUND, IT WAS FUN, AND LOUIS FLEW IN ALL THE WAY FROM AMERICA TO MAKE SURE I DIDN’T WIN AGAIN. >> LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THIS LEADER BOARD. ABE ANCER FIVE

STROKES AHEAD OF EVERYONE ELSE. DOM, WHAT STANDS OUT TO YOU ON THIS LEADER BOARD? WHAT STANDS OUT HERE? >> WELL, THE FACT THAT HE’S MADE 15 BIRDIES AND NOT A BOGEY. THE BALL STRIKING AND C TROL HAS BEEN I IMMACULATE, BUT HE’S

GOT SOME TOUGH GUYS CHASING HIM. >> ALL RIGHT. JOINING DOM AND I IS THE ONE AND ONLY DAVID FEHERTY. >> WHAT A DAY. WHAT A PERFORMANCE FROM THIS YOUNG MAN. >> ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. I SAW EVERY SHOT. >> SO LET’S DIVE INTO SOME ANCER TALK.

IT JUST FEELS LIKE HE’S PLAYING THE BEST GOLF OF HIS LIFE HERE IN HONG KONG. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? YOU’VE BEEN ABLE TO WATCH HIM, DAVID? >> WELL, I THINK THE GOLF COURSE IS ONE OF THE WINNERS HERE, AS WELL. I KNOW YOU’VE BEEN

HEAVILY INVOLVED IN THE CREATION OF THIS EVENT, AND YOU KNOW, WE NAMED THE CREEK IN FRONT OF THE TENT. >> I KNOW, I HEARD YOU. >> I’VE BEEN IN THERE PLENTY OF TIMES. >> IT’S 1,000 YARDS SHORTER THAN MANY OF

THE COURSES WE PLAY. IT’S STOOD THE TEST OF TIME. THESE ARE SOME OF THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE WORLD. ANCER HASN’T MADE A BOGEY. IT’S ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. >> OKAY. LET’S CHECK IT OUT. DO YOUR THING. ABRAHAM ANCER. >> WELL, THIS CUTE

LITTLE PAR FOUR, I WANT TO SEE SOMEBODY TAKE A SHOT AT THE GREEN. >> LOOK AT THIS PUTT. >> IT’S A 15-FOOT PUTT WITH 15 FEET OF BREAK. JUST THE PRECISION, THE JUDGMENT OF THE PACE AND THE LINE, YOU KNOW YOU’RE

GOING TO HAVE A GOOD DAY IF YOU MAKE PUTTS LIKE THIS. >> DON’T FORGET, HE MISSED THE OPENING PUTT ON THE ONE OR TWO HOLE. >> YEAH. >> THIS IS WHEN HE STARTED GOING ON A RUN. >> YEAH, HE HAD 11

HERE FOR BIRDIE. >> YEAH, YOU KIND OF EXPECT TO MAKE THOSE. >> RIGHT ON THE LEFT LINE, BIRDIE AT 14. >> WE’RE GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE LOOK AT THIS SCORE WORM, AND LOOK AT THIS, AND IT KEEPS GOING AND IT KEEPS GOING

AND IT KEEPS GOING. >> ABRAHAM JUST SEPARATED HIMSELF RIGHT AROUND HALFWAY. >> YOU’VE GOT TO LOVE THAT RIGHT THERE. LET’S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT A GUY THAT GOES BY THE NAME OF JON RAHM. I FEEL LIKE WATCHING HIM IS ALWAYS A TREAT.

ANYTHING THAT STOOD OUT TO YOU FROM TODAY? >> YEAH, HE PLAYED BEAUTIFULLY, AND IF IT HADN’T BEEN FOR 1 YESTERDAY WHERE HE HAD THAT BIZARRE, COMPLETELY BIZARRE, REALLY, IT WAS A BAD LUCK AND A BAD SHOT TO HAVE THE BALL HIT

IN THE CORNER OF THE PATH AND COME RIGHT BACK AT HIM, THE BALL GAVE HIM THE MIDDLE FINGER ON THE WAY BACK OUT. COMES OUT, HAS A GREAT SHOT TODAY, GREAT ROUND. >> ANOTHER GUY THAT HAD A GREAT ROUND, MATT JONES TODAY.

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO FINISH THIS DAY AT THE TOP OF THE LEADER BOARD. >> HE PLAYED BRILLIANTLY, JUST HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A NIGHTMARE ON THE FINISH. HE BOGEYED THE 16 HOLE AND BOGEYED THE 18 HOLE WITH A

BIRDIE IN THE MIDDLE. >> YEAH, WE’VE GOT SOME HIGHLIGHTS FROM MATT JONES. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON HIS DAY. >> YOU’VE GOT TO BE QUICK FOR HIGHLIGHTS ON MATT JONES. HE’S THE FASTEST PLAYER IN THE GAME. THE SECOND HOLE.

>> MADE A GREAT UP AND DOWN THERE ON THE FIRST AND THE BIRDIE ON THE SECOND. LAID UP OFF THE TEE ON THIS PAR FIVE. JUST GOT IT THERE. THAT WAS BACK-TO-BACK BIRDIES. HE WAS OFF TO THE RACES. >> AND ON THE EIGHTH

HOLE HERE FROM JUST THE BACK EDGE OF THE GREEN, ONE OF THE TOUGHER HOLES OF THE GOLF COURSE, AND HE WAS THE TOUGHEST CHALLENGER ON ABE ALL WAY UNTIL THE END. >> AND ONE OF THE MOST LIKEABLE GUYS OUT THERE.

>> OH, WE WERE TALKING OUT THERE ON THE ROUND. HE’S SO POSITIVE, ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY. >> JUST OVER BOULAY’S BERM THERE. >> YEAH. >> NOW YOU GUYS ALWAYS GET TO HAVE ALL THE FUN, TALKING ABOUT THE HIGHLIGHTS, SO I DECIDED THAT I WAS

GOING TO THROW IN A HIGHLIGHT THAT I WANTED TO COVER TODAY. >> YEAH. >> ALL RIGHT. YOU GUYS READY? ALL RIGHT. I’M GOING TO TALK YOU THROUGH MY FAVORITE HIGHLIGHT TODAY. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT MY HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY.

I DON’T KNOW IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER THIS MOMENT HERE. >> OH, YEAH, THIS WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF MY HIGHLIGHTS, AS WELL. [laughter]. >> THIS WAS THE MOMENT THAT REALLY GOT ME GOING. LET’S PLAY THIS BACK IN SLOW MOTION. THERE’S THE, THERE’S THE —

>> YEAH, HE WAS ABLE TO GET UP BECAUSE IT WAS EARLY IN THE DAY. LATER IN THE DAY, HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE STAYED DOWN. >> NO, HE RECOVERED. HE HAD A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE, LET EVERYONE KNOW HE WAS OKAY. HOW DID I DO, GUYS?

HERE’S SOME GUYS THAT ARE OUT THERE NOW. >> BACK THEN OUT THERE, THAT DIDN’T EXIST. >> NO. ARE WE NEAR A BAR HERE? >> CLOSE. >> BECAUSE THAT’S WHERE YOU AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN AFTER A DAY LIKE THAT.

>> HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK THE COLD AFFECTED SOME OF THE PLAY THAT WE SAW TODAY? >> I THINK IT WAS COOL. I THINK IT AFFECTED THE FLIGHT, THE BALL, AND IT WAS GLOOMY, TOO. THE LAST THREE OR FOUR BALLS, IT WAS

TOUGH TO SEE OUT THERE. >> YEAH, YOU GET THESE COOL DAMP DAYS WHERE THE BALL DOESN’T FLY AS FAR. >> WAS THERE ANY HOLE WHERE YOU SAW PARTICULARLY WHERE GUYS STRUGGLED MORE TODAY THAN DAY ONE? ANY HOLES THAT STOOD OUT TO YOU TODAY?

>> WELL, THE HOLES THAT STOOD OUT TO ME ARE 4, WHICH IS ONLY 288 YARDS LONG, AND YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING BIRDIE ON IT ALL DAY, AND AT THE END, A REALLY BRILLIANT WAY TO FINISH THIS GOLF COURSE. >> DAVE? >> ALL RIGHT.

WE WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS SEGMENT. IT’S CALLED WHAT THE FEHERTY. YOU EVER HEARD OF IT? >> YEAH. >> LET’S TAKE A LOOK. >> HELLO. FEHERTY HERE, AND TODAY, I COME TO YOU FROM THE FUTURE OR THE PAST. I DON’T KNOW.

FOR THE LAST SIX WEEKS, I’VE BEEN IN BELFAST, MEXICO, FRANKFURT, AND HONG KONG, AND I DON’T KNOW WHERE I AM. AFTER 50 YEARS, I’VE FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT CAUSES THE JET LAG. IT’S THE JETS. YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF BOAT LAG OR TRAIN

LAG OR DONKEY LAG? I’M A GREAT BELIEVER IN THE BETTER LIFE THROUGH CHEMISTRY, SO A STRATEGIC SLEEPING PILL CAN BE, LIKE I CALL IT, A STRATEGIC SLEDGEHAMMER. IT COULD PUT SEA BISCUIT TO SLEEP. IMAGINE HAVING TO PERFORM AT TOP LEVEL WITH A BUNCH OF

COMPETITORS WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU FAIL. AT THE END OF THE DAY, JET LAG IS PAINFUL, INFURIATING, AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU LOST SOME OF YOUR TIME TO SOMEONE YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOW.

>> I CAN ASSURE YOU HE GIVES ONE-LINERS LIKE THAT ALL DAY LONG EVERY SINGLE DAY. DO YOU FREESTYLE THAT OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD? >> OH, NO, IT’S DEFINITELY FROM ME, BUT I’M DR. FEELGOOD FOR THE CREW HERE. IF THEY NEED TO GO

TO SLEEP, I CAN PUT THEM TO SLEEP, AND IF THEY NEED TO WAKE UP, I CAN DO THAT, TOO. >> ALL I CAN ASK IS CAN YOU ADD ME — I WANT TO BE IN ONE WITH THE FEHERTY’S. >> YEAH, I NEED ALL

THE HELP I CAN GET, CHRISTIAN. >> ALL RIGHT. WE’RE GOING TO TOSS IT OVER TO RACHEL IN THE POST GAME SHOW. >> WE’RE JOINED BY DEAN BURMESTER AND HE’S AGREED TO ALLOW US TO JOIN HIM THROUGH HIS COOL DOWN. >> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

CHRISTIAN, I KNOW HE’S LOOKING FORWARD TO IT AS MUCH AS I AM. >> – 7, PLAYED EXCEPTIONALLY WELL IN THE FIRST ROUND. HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT YOUR DAY TODAY? >> TO BE HONEST, I PROBABLY HIT IT WELL BELOW PAR. I TALKED IT UP

YESTERDAY, TALKED HOW WELL I’VE BEEN HITTING IT OF LATE, AND TODAY WAS A DAY THAT GOLF DECIDED TO GET BACK AT ME. >> HOW DOES THAT AFFECT WHAT YOU NOW DO IN YOUR COOL DOWN. CAN YOU HIT SOME FOR US? >> SO YEAH, SURE.

THERE’S A FEW THINGS THAT I DO. IT FELT TO ME THAT I HAD THE CLUB COMING DOWN OUTSIDE OF MY PATH LINE. I FELT A FADE BUT MY TENDENCY IS TO GET TO STEEP THIS WAY AND HIT LITTLE WEAK FADES, AND WHEN I

STRIKE IT, I HIT IT, LIKE, 100 YARDS LEFT, AND THAT’S NOT FUN. I LIKE TO KIND OF GET A LINE ON THE BALL. IT’S PROBABLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT OTHER GUYS WOULD DO. I LIKE TO FIND NEUTRAL AND FIND ZERO FIRST. WEDGE IS PROBABLY

THE EASIEST THING TO DEAL WITH, AND THEN I MOVE INTO WHATEVER ELSE I’VE BEEN DEALING WITH. LINE IT UP AND SEE IF I CAN SWING IT INTO — THAT WAS NOT BAD. >> THAT LOOKS PRETTY ZEROED TO ME. >> THAT’S NICE. I LIKE THAT FROM

INSIDE, SO IF I’VE GOT THAT, THEN I KNOW THAT THE STRIKE IS GOING TO BE. >> WELCOME, WELCOME. >> WELCOME TO MY LIV LESSON. >> SO IF YOU’RE LIKE ME AND YOU MISS GREENS, THIS IS WHERE THE FOCUS COMES OUT.

>> FOR ME, I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE. >> TEMPO FOR SURE IS THE 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 HIT ON THE PUTT. >> BRYSON DECHAMBEAU ELECTRIFIES THE CROWD. >> THAT’S WHEN PSYCHO MODE COMES IN. TRY TO GET A LITTLE PSYCHO WITH IT. >> THAT WAS ELECTRIC.

>> LET YOUR BODY FREE UP, LET THINGS JUST MOVE MORE. DON’T FEEL LIKE YOU’RE RESTRICTED. IF YOU CAN DO THAT, YOU’RE ON YOUR WAY TO BETTER GOLF. [♪♪] >> ALL RIGHT. WE HAD A LITTLE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY THERE, RACHEL. HOPEFULLY WE’RE ABLE TO GET BACK OVER TO

HER, BUT JOINING DAVID AND I, SU-ANN HANG, WHO HAD A GREAT DAY. >> I WAS JUST TRYING TO STAY WARM. DAVID, DO YOU HAVE A PSYCHO MODE? >> YEAH, THE PSYCHO MODE, I’VE BEEN PLENTY OF PSYCHIATRISTS, LET’S PUT IT THAT WAY. >> YEAH, LIV LESSONS

IS AWESOME. >> YEAH. SU-ANN, YOU’VE FOLLOWED A LOT OF GUYS. TELL US ABOUT JON RAHM. >> I TALKED TO HIM IN THE POST ROUND INTERVIEW. HE TALKED ABOUT A BAD SWING ON T– AND A BAD SHOT THAT COST HIM THREE SHOTS ON

THE 18. – 6, IS IT TOO MUCH? >> IT PROBABLY IS, THE WAY THAT ABE ANCER IS PLAYING, BUT IF HE GETS SOME HELP, JON RAHM IS ONE OF THE GUYS THAT CAN SHOOT REALLY LOW. YOU SEE A LOT OF THESE SHOTS REQUIRE

A FADE MAYBE ON A RIGHT-TO-LEFT FAIRWAY AND HE CAN HIT EVERY SHOT OUT THERE. >> HE SAID IN THE POST ROUND INTERVIEW THAT THIS ISN’T A COURSE THAT PEOPLE THINK THAT HE CAN HIT WELL ON. >> WELL, WE’RE GOING

TO TOSS IT DOWN TO RACHEL. WHAT’S UP, RACH? >> LET’S PUT IT BACK DOWN THERE. >> I DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU DROPPED ME. >> LET’S START FROM THE TOP. SO YOU’VE PLAYED VERY WELL FIRST DAY. NOT SO HAPPY TODAY. HOW DOES THAT AFFECT YOUR COOL DOWN?

>> YEAH, SO OBVIOUSLY, I LOOK FOR THINGS IN MY GOLF SWING. THAT’S THE FIRST THING IN MY GOLF SWING. I SCROUNGED AROUND FOR A – 1, I’LL MAKE SURE MY BODY IS READY FOR TOMORROW. >> YOU’RE USING TRACK MAN.

>> YEAH, I’M USING TRACK MAN. >> WHAT KIND OF DATA POINTS ARE YOU LOOKING AT? >> THIS STRAIGHT LINE IS WHERE TRACK MAN IS AIMING. I’LL TRY AND STAY AS NEUTRAL AS I CAN AND SWING IT DOWN SO I CAN FIND ZERO. >> THAT LOOKED VERY

GOOD TO ME. NOT QUITE, BUT ABOUT .4. >> YEAH, ABOUT .4 TO THE LEFT. THAT’S WHERE YOU WANT TO SEE IT, THERE-ISH WITH AN OPEN FACE. I LIKE TO SEE IT FADE, SO IF I KNOW THAT I’M KIND OF WITHIN THE ZERO OR

THE BALLPARK, I WANT TO FEEL IF I’M FIVE YARDS BACK. >> IT’S QUITE A COMMON FAULT WHEN I SEE COACHING PEOPLE SWINGING IT TOO FAR LEFT, SO WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO HELP MAKE IT FEEL A BIT MORE NEUTRAL AND SHALLOW.

>> SO YOU’VE GOT AN IMPACT BALL. I’VE PROBABLY GOT EVERY TRAINING AID UNDER THE SUN TO FEEL EXACTLY WHERE I WANT TO GET THE CLUB COMING IN, BUT IF YOU DON’T HAVE IT, PROBABLY THE EASIEST THING TO DO WOULD BE TO PUT A STRAIGHT LINE DOWN.

NEUTRAL IS INSIDE THAT LINE, AND THEN IT’S EXITING AROUND, SO IF YOU IMAGINE YOU’VE GOT LIKE A HARPER HULA HOOP, LIKE THAT, THAT’S WHAT NEUTRAL LOOKS LIKE. IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE THIS, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS, SO WHAT AMATEURS LIKE TO DO

IS MOVE A HULA HOOP LIKE THAT, AND THEY HIT BIG SLICES. IT’S TOUGH AND IT’S A TOUGH THING TO PRACTICE, BUT THAT’S WHAT I LIKE TO SEE IS THAT CLUB IS COMING INSIDE THAT LINE AND EXITING OUTSIDE THAT LINE. BEN HOGAN ALWAYS

TALKED ABOUT HITTING THE INSIDE OF THE GOLF BALL. TIGER AND ALL THE GREAT PLAYERS WERE ALWAYS TRYING TO HIT THE INSIDE OF THE GOLF BALL. NOW THAT I’VE GOT ALL THAT WORK IN, IT’S KIND OF AN EASY FIX IN TECHNOLOGY. >> LET’S SEE ANOTHER ONE?

>> NO PROBLEM, RACHEL. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE? ANOTHER STRAIGHT, A FADE, A DRAW? >> YOU’VE BEEN WORKING HARD ON YOUR MENTAL GAME. >> YEAH. >> I’VE GOT MY SPIES TELLING YOU THIS. >> YEAH. >> IN THE FIRST ROUND, YOU WENT

BIRDIE, BIRDIE, EAGLE, BIRDIE. HAVE I GOT THAT RIGHT? >> YEAH. >> HOW DO YOU STAY MENTALLY FOCUSED AND STAY LOW? >> THE TRICKY ONE IS PROBABLY THE THIRD BIRDIE OR EAGLE SOMETHING IN A ROW. TWO IN A ROW, GUYS HERE DO THAT FAIRLY

REGULARLY, BUT THREE IN A ROW, IT’S KIND OF KEEP THE HAMMER DOWN, NOW THAT YOU’RE CONFIDENT, KEEP TAKING SHOTS. BACKING OFF IS PROBABLY THE WORST YOU CAN DO. >> FINAL QUESTION, I’LL LET YOU GO AND CHILL. SO YOU’VE SPOKEN ABOUT TECHNICAL, DO

YOU THEN GO TO PERFORMANCE TO GET READY FOR TOMORROW? >> YEAH, IT’LL BE PHYSIOFOR ME, LIGHT WORK OUT, SOMETHING FOR DINNER, WHICH IS EASY TO FIND IN HONG KONG. >> ZERO POD. >> ZERO POD, STRAIGHT PLACE. IF YOU WANT TO FIND

FADES, FIND ZERO AND LEFT. >> YOU’VE MADE IT SOUND SO EASY. >> THE BALL GOES NATURALLY ON THAT FEED LINE, AND IF YOU JUST SWING THAT WAY, IT’LL DRAW. >> DEAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING US BE A PART OF YOUR COOL DOWN.

PLAY WELL TOMORROW. >> THANKS SO MUCH. CHRISTIAN, WE’LL SEE YOU SOON, BROTHER. >> GREAT JOB, RACHEL, AND HERE WE GO, A GREAT TWEET HERE FROM DEAN. DEAN BURMESTER IS IN GREAT FORM AND PLAYING LL AGAIN THIS WEEK IN HONG KONG.

HOW GOOD IS THIS SPIN CONTROL OUT OF THE TREES? LOOKS PRETTY GOOD TO ME. LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN HAS BEEN A WORLD CLASS PLAYER FOR DECADES, BUT GOLF ISN’T HIS OWN POSITION. SU-ANN FOUND OUT ALL ABOUT THAT IN HANG TIME. >> I’VE GOT LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN, THE

CAPTAIN OF STINGER GC. WE’RE GOING TO WATCH HIM PLAY AND WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A CHAT. LET’S DO THIS. I WAS IN MIAMI, AND I THINK I SPOKE TO YOUR WIFE, AND SHE SAID YOU RECENTLY ADDED SOME FAINTING GOATS, THE RANGE GOATS.

>> YEAH, THE RANGE GOATS. >> AND YOU NAMED THEM AFTER ALL THE RANGE GOATS. >> BUBBA, [indiscernible] AND THOMAS. BUBBA JUST GOES LIKE THIS, AND HE JUST FALLS OVER. HE’S A FAINTER. I’VE GOT A RANGE COACH FLAG, AND

THEN, I WANT TO DO A VIDEO OF THAT, BUT THEN, THEY CHANGE THE NAMES. IT’S FUN. >> SU-ANN, YOU DO SUCH A GREAT JOB WITH THE HANG TIME PIECES. TELL US ABOUT THAT. >> WELL, IT WAS EASY WITH LOUIS. I DON’T THINK I’VE

LAUGHED THAT MUCH WITH ANY OTHER HANG TIME THAN WITH LOUIS, BUT HE LOVES THE FARM THING. WHAT A GREAT STORY ABOUT THE RA RANGEGOATS, THE FAINTING GOATS. >> MAKE SURE YOU CHECK OUT HANG TIME WITH SU-ANN. IT’S A GOOD TIME, AS

YOU CAN SEE. ALL RIGHT, SU-ANN. YOU TALKED TO JON RAHM, YOU TALKED TO US ABOUT IT AFTER. LET’S GET INTO IT. >> ALL RIGHT. LET’S DO IT. THIS IS THE 16 HOLE, THE SECOND SHOT, THE HOLE HE STARTED ON. WHAT A WONDERFUL WEDGE SHOT. HE’S BEEN WORKING

REALLY HARD ON THIS THIS WEEK. NOW, THIS IS THE 17. SECOND SHOT. HE MADE IT LOOK FAIRLY EASY, DAVID. THE WORD I USED A LOT ON THE COVERAGE ON HIS GAME IS TEXTBOOK. IT’S VERY MUCH A TEXTBOOK TYPE OF PLAY THE WAY HE’S

BEEN PLAYING THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. ROUNDING IT OFF FOR A – 6. >> ANOTHER GUY YOU FOLLOWED TODAY WAS BROOKS KOEPKA. >> YEAH. >> WAS THERE ANYTHING — IT’S INTERESTING TO FOLLOW HIM. IT SEEMS LIKE HE JUST STAYS THE

COURSE THE ENTIRE TIME. >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. HE’S ONE OF THE BIG PLAYERS OUT THERE. HE CONTENDS JUST ABOUT EVERY WEEK. I SPOKE TO HIS CADDY, AND HE SAID JETTA, HE DIDN’T HAVE HIS BEST STUFF, BUT HE STILL CAME IN 12. >> HE DIDN’T HAVE

HIS BEST STUFF, BUT HE ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE THERE. BAD FINISH TODAY, THE DOUBLE BOGEY, BUT HE’S THE SORT OF PLAYER THAT HE’S ONE GOOD SWING AWAY FROM A COME BACK, YOU KNOW? >> YEAH, YEAH, AND I THINK WATCHING HIM TODAY, HE HIT SOME

GREAT SHOTS, ACTUALLY. >> YEAH. >> INTO THE GREENS AND JUST DIDN’T REALLY MAKE A PUTT, HE WAS JUST BURNING SO MANY EDGES. BUT I THINK HE’S STARTING TO GET A LITTLE TOO SHUT. HE’S STARTED TO ADJUST HIS FITNESS ROUTINE.

>> TOO MUCH GOOD FOOD OUT HERE. >> I WON’T BLAME YOU, TOO MUCH GOOD FOOD OUT HERE. >> SU-ANN, WE’D LOVE YOU TO CHECK OUT SOME MORE HIGHLIGHTS FOR US. >> THIS IS BROOKS, THIRD HOLE, OPENING SHOT. >> YEAH, OPENING

SHOT RIGHT THERE. >> HIS SHORT GAME IS UNDERRATED. HE’S GOT SUCH GREAT TOUCH AROUND THE GREENS. >> THIS IS A TRICKY PAR THREE. >> GREAT SET OF PAR THREES ON THIS GOLF COURSE. >> THEY MAKE YOU THINK. >> YEAH, REALLY INTERESTING.

BEAUTIFUL SHOT THERE. . >> THIS IS HIS BIRDIE SHOT ON THE 16. FINALLY, FINALLY MADE ONE TODAY. >> ANOTHER GUY THAT I WANTED TO BRING UP, HAROLD VARNER III. HE TALKED TO ME AFTER FINISHING SECOND. LET’S HEAR WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.

ALL RIGHT. WE’RE HAVING A LITTLE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY WITH THAT VIDEO >> GRIFFIN’S PLAYING SOME GREAT MUSIC BACK THERE. >> YEAH, THE MUSIC IS FIRE, BUT LET’S TALK ABOUT HV3, LET’S TALK ABOUT HIM A LITTLE BIT. >> ALWAYS NICE TO

SEE BURMY GIVING US ALL GREAT INSIGHT ON THE POST ROUND SHOW. >> THE SOUTH AFRICANS ARE AMAZING. >> EVEN ON A BAD DAY, THEY’RE ALL STILL LAUGHING. >> I’M ONE OF THE NEW GUYS, AND ON THE FIRST DAY, BURMY WALKED UP AND

WELCOMED ME TO THE TEAM. ALL RIGHT. LET’S CHECK OUT SOME HV3 HIGHLIGHTS AND LET’S TALK ABOUT IT. DAVID, TAKE US THROUGH THE HIGHLIGHTS. >> I LOVE HAROLD’S SHOES. THEY LOOK LIKE THEY COULD BE ON THE MOON. >> THOSE ARE JORDANS.

>> THAT WAS AT EAGLE ON 13 RIGHT THERE. BIRDIE AT 14. >> I COULD SEE YOU WEARING THOSE, DAVID. >> I COULD GET BOTH MY FEET INTO ONE OF THOSE, YEAH. SECOND SHOT AT 16. >> ALL RIGHT. IT SOUNDS LIKE HAROLD HAS JOINED

THE MEDIA, LET’S LISTEN IN. >> [indiscernible] DID THAT AFFECT GOING INTO THE ROUND TODAY? >> NO, I DIDN’T REALLY THINK ABOUT IT. AM I SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING AT YOU? YEAH, NOT REALLY, JUST TRYING TO KEEP IT ON THE FAIRWAY

AND MAKE WHOLE SOME PUTTS, AND I THINK I DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF THAT. >> WHAT’S THE GAME PLAN GOING INTO TOMORROW? >> OH, NOTHING RIGHT NOW. I JUST WANT TO EAT. NO, JUST KEEP DOING WHAT I’M DOING. >> HAROLD, YOU’VE

PLAYED HERE A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE, I THINK TOP TEN LAST YEAR. DO YOU FEEL LIKE THIS IS A COURSE THAT YOU’RE GOING TO PLAY WELL ON, THAT SUITS YOUR GAME? >> I FEEL LIKE THAT WAY EVERY WEEK, BUT OUT HERE, I’VE

PLAYED WELL HERE, I’VE PLAYED BAD HERE. I KIND OF KNOW A FEW SPOTS TO HIT IT, TO NOT HIT IT. THE LAST TIME I PLAYED HERE, IT WAS MUCH FIRMER – 9 UNDER HERE. IT’S GOLF. IT IS WHAT IT IS. THE TOURNAMENT’S NOT OVER YET.

I SAW YOU SPYING ON ME, CREEPING ON ME. >> I WAS. YOU’RE FIVE BACK TOMORROW. HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO KEEP UP WITH ABE TOMORROW? >> I THINK I’VE PLAYED ENOUGH GOLF TO KNOW THAT THE BEST THING I CAN DO

IS JUST GET AS MANY LOOKS AS I CAN AND PLAY THE BEST I CAN BE. >> YOU’VE GOT TO JUST GO LOW TOMORROW. >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY, HE COULD, NO QUESTION. >> ANOTHER GUY THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS ANTHONY KIM, WHO

DEBUTED IN JETTA. WE HAVEN’T TALKED TOO MUCH ABOUT HIM, BUT I’D LOVE TO KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT HIM. >> YEAH, ANTHONY TODAY, HE’S THE MOST INTERESTING GUY IN GOLF. HE SHOWED SIGNS OF LIFE. THIS WAS A TERRIFIC SHOT INTO THE SEVENTH, AND A

LOVELY PUTT THERE. >> ARE YOU A FAN OF HIS GOLF ATTIRE? IS. >> THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF PUTTS THAT REQUIRE A LOT OF FEEL, SOMETHING THAT COULD DISAPPEAR AFTER 12 YEARS? >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY, AND THAT’S BIRDIE AT 12. HE ACTUALLY LIVED

AROUND THE CORNER FROM ME FOR 12 YEARS IN DALLAS. HE NEVER SAW HIM. HE DISAPPEARED LIKE BARRY SANDERS. WHERE DID HE GO? >> HOW IMPRESSIVE WOULD YOU SAY THIS PERFORMANCE WAS FROM ANTHONY KIM? >> 72 TODAY, I THINK IT’S REALLY A SIGN OF LIFE ON WHAT HE

CAN DO, WHAT HE WILL DO. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT HE’LL COME BACK TO A VERY HIGH LEVEL. >> ALL RIGHT. WE ARE HERE AT THE POST ROUND SHOW. YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. WE HAD A GREAT TIME. STAY TUNED FOR TOMORROW. IT’S DAY THREE,

COMING OUR WAY. THIS WAS CLUB 54 POST ROUND SHOW. I’M YOUR HOST, CHRISTIAN CROSBY. THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN. HONG KONG WAS VERY COLD. WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW, AND UNTIL THEN, HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME. GOOD-BYE. PEACE. [♪♪]
