Jorge campio is at the 12th got off to a
birdie birdie start and putting from the
first
cut not easy to do with these Putters
those those it’s got such a big Mass
you’re able to just putt right out of
the rough and rolls it in and what a
start from Jorge in Fuego lot of trouble
out there lurks though this was a moment
ago at the eighth fowers
third so well J such a small area up top
it was in a divot you see this ball
sitting down that Leading Edge drives
down and didn’t even follow through look
at that and able to still get his
distance right that was pretty
incredible from
[Music]
Ricky he’s thinking about it he’s
thinking he’s got a chance if he get the
gust gets about 10
seconds it’s probably right around that
number now oh yeah
goodness patience pays off and that’s
the formula that Rory’s talked about
going to austa he’s got to be patient
well it’s a start here in Texas never a
doubt never a doubt that was so cool you
could see the wind was coming from that
direction so he you know you got to give
it a chance
there all right so you do have 10
seconds by the time you get to the
vicinity of the ball so the clock is
running right now so we’ll give you an
exact second here they so it’s just
under the 10c rule it is March Madness
it’s buzzer season we got some buzzer
beaters here for R Ma at the eighth hole
nice birdie Lazy River out Smiley but
certainly are this is speed’s third at
the par
five8 just love the way he just drives
that Leading Edge into the ground that
wasn’t in a divot that’s just the way he
hits those moment ago this was Tyler
Duncan you talked about this green being
difficult to hit here’s Duncan after
missing it with a
second but that’s how you get out of
trouble that’s great yeah this green uh
the players are only hitting this green
22% of the time today it’s a very
difficult shot you can see the grain
it’s weighing cross he’s got to hit this
flop shot over the
bunker this would be an incredible up
and
down oh come on his stats this year
around the greens are just stupid he’s
one of the best on the PGA tour this
year playing some pretty good golf
lately looking at shot leag Dan nobody’s
really made putts from behind the screen
but Garrick higo got it figure it
out the wind in from the right so no
one’s able to drive this green today
back right hole occasion right about
there yeah danc it around the cup here’s
steuart sink made a nice run made some
noise at the valpar championship a
couple of weeks ago going back and forth
between this tour and the champions tour
kind of like padri
har rolling one in up at 17 chesten
Hadley giving it a go this one location
over a
ridge some of the players landing on the
Downs slope just short of
it right about there but plenty of spin
with that wind in their
[Music]
face
oh yeah yep bringing it in from that
left side that is the textbook way to
play it and here’s a guy that was along
with us for a little bit of that swing
Kevin kizner at 18 come on kid there he
is that’s the
[Applause]
putter got to watch out for that flyer
like we saw with
Tommy how did do that he’s pretty good
at gol he’s pretty good here’s Robbie
Shelton from just off the
green good putt there for him boy now
batia you said it was that M Zone here
at nine there you go right in the heart
uphill for the most part then right
there you can see the grain change right
around the hole it flattens out
there good read good stroke read it
beautifully back to back
birdies after a bogy at the first 17 a
moment AG go York see what he can do
with a short
iron and another put just they’re all
dancing around the flag here today to
two lantto Griffin with his third at
this par five from 93 yds tricky little
front right ho location that wind is in
off the right
here oh yeah
okay oh sure would the delay for a
little bit more
drama he’s already shown us he can get
some some spin on it even out of this
stuff coming in very
high oh you could tell he took one less
Club hit it way up in the air and that
only rolled out about 7 or eight feet or
so Billy Ray that was well judged from
haki remember Sam Stevens run last year
he finished
second all kinds of trouble though here
at this latest visit to 18 but that can
be taken care of just like that up at 17
one of the KY twins Pearson Cy putting
for birdie big right to Le here coming
off the back side of that
Ridge and there you go from long
distance that is so good campio is at
the
18th try to fly it back here Dan he
did good look it’ll be for campio this
was just earlier the third for Lucas
Glover from
[Music]
116 there you go look at that a right of
it fights it down nicely solid contact
sounded good Billy Ray man that was such
good action too was wide on the way back
and you saw how far left he finished
it’s very conducive to hit the shot that
he wants to it’s definitely going to
pitch forward this is really doable
here Smiley’s been working on his short
game working with Gabriel yet a PGA Tour
winner Lucas Glover birdie 12 13 14
three straight heading to the 15th here
but he’s bunkered caught the perfect lie
in there
you see
perfect four in a row for Lucas yeah
raise your hand if you’re
sure this chip is very fast off the down
slope theall baby bogey free on his
day pretty well judged there Woody oh
man wasn’t ever beautiful touch shot the
par three and Texas’s own Jordan
[Music]
spe
that’s high up in the
air
how
[Applause]
in that’s reverberating around the Lone
Star
State damn when can he save that for
happy hour
tomorrow I don’t know maybe he’s got
another one in him I got a bone to pick
with this guy right now saing doing this
on a Thursday he’s going in the morning
tomorrow
but well before your
time I mean is this what Jordan Speed is
all
about going along like he’s going to
have some problems making the cut and
then
bang fourth Ace on the PGA tour you’ve
seen this
year in year out Smiley go to 15
AE seven under all by
himself Rolling Along coming off his
best finish of the season last week tied
for 11th all four days in the 60s and
he’s at it again this will be a fifth
consecutive round in the 60s for OE if
he keeps it up well done Stan’s third at
the 14th come on Dan no way I’m just
saying smiley I’m I’m I’m just saying oh
come on oh you can’t get
serious the magic of what we know is on
tape 17 a moment ago Lucas Glover he of
the four consecutive burries earlier on
this backside oh kiss the sck that could
have easily just gone straight down the
flag stick and in the
hall kind of hit it softly like it was
going to drop perhaps straight down I I
think it’s actually in the end it’s
actually a bad break I think that have
been a foot from the hall with that much
spin jordis p a one and a three if this
goes down
consecutively about thatd from the
Strong finish is you know it’s going to
get him mentally right back into this
tournament this was Adam Shanks t- shot
at
16 had a nice year last year look like a
pretty good line little abbreviated
follow through took a little
look thought we might have another 16th
hole moment he’s got a couple options
here is he going to drive it in the
slope as he going to try and play it
through the air over that Ridge coming
in very low should have a lot of
spin another great shot
oh perfect boy that he just visualized
he landed it right on top of the ridge
low trajectory what I saw I nipped it
but he has worked so hard on this part
of his game but I love this shot right
here low trajectory ball first drives it
through
there and just I love the low wedges
that’s watch it land just on top there
and then it takes all that
spin what a beauty yeah Rive off the
with the driver and he going to pay off
he’s going to get to 800 that’s what the
data says too the closer you can get to
the green more often or not you’re going
to get it up and down or hit it close
what a shot what a three for batia and
he is now at 8 underp what a round he is
putting
together

  1. Has anyone noticed we only see Rory, Jordan and Rickie in contention on weekdays? Is their era over? Will the young guns emerge again on the weekend as those three fade? And what about the Masters?

  2. Akshay, what a round. Watch out for Lucas, he's going to surprise some people again soon. And that ace by Jordan and then the birdie is clutch!
