Best of Smylie Kaufman with Keith Mitchell, Brian Harman at The Players Championship | Golf Channel
https://www.youtube.com/golfchannel?sub_confirmation=1

it looks like strick’s got this little
birdie putt one of the interesting
things about strick’s putting is his
head almost moves with the putter head
and with the ball you see all these
teachers tend to tell you to keep your
head down if you watch his putt here he
almost follow the ball with his head and
he’s consistently one of the best
Putters year and year out his whole
career yeah it are you he his head even
goes back with the putter in the back
swing and then follows it in the down
swing or the through swing they got that
that Hill off the ground I love it shaft
matches that forearms perfectly
and then of course he misses it for I
mean it’s just the announcers Jinx I
know what it feels like now officially
guys welcome to the other side
Keith I know a guy in the booth this
this week Brad Faxon does a very similar
thing with that head movement just like
Steve
Stricker let’s take a little closer look
at that head movement you guys were
talking about as he takes it
away watch that left ear looks like
follows with his shoulder right and this
is kind of a perfect time to get into
the history of kiz and I here at the
17th we both have played I got a little
better scoring average at even Park
Kevin Kizer at plus n what I think this
goes because I’ve just played more than
him like opportun why didn’t we have
that stat up there we can see the gold
balls of smiley here on the 17th I don’t
even know where the drop zone is and
let’s take a peek at Kevin Ker’s golf
ball yeah look how many more attempts I
have you could you could say that but
also I mean percentages say I played the
hole a little better all right we’re
going to do next stack career money and
17 what do you think I mean you have I
mean the shot that you hit on 17 is
worth everything though and you hit some
good ones coming out of the stretch so I
I think there should be an aster in in
how important the smilees were usually
on Friday afternoon when he’s three over
he’s already text his wife to pack his
back they’re ready to hit the road Keith
if you ain’t first or last well I know
you got a lot of memories at the Players
Championship Kevin but when you get the
17th hole just coming back even not
playing this week I mean what do those
memories come back to you well my uh
I’ve lost my breath just walking across
the tea with you just uh just the nerves
of the hole and the the stadium that
they’ve built around the course and and
to be here you know today is about as
benign conditions as we can get with
soft greens but you still one bad swing
away from ring or going to the drop zone
so this this shots on your mind from the
time you start and uh I know guys are
still sweating it even in these
conditions absolutely Vincent Norman
just missing his birdie putt going to
tap in for a par will not be around this
weekend unless he has a heroic back nine
he’s going to have to really turn on the
chest
brother it might be happy hour a little
early for Vincent
nor and we just saw chz Rey yesterday I
thought he hit it in the water off his
first shot he hit it well to the right
and you know a player when he M hits it
the day before they get here the next
day and you you don’t want to do the
exact same thing you did the day before
hits that tug pull in the penalty area
Kevin yeah he was thinking on the Range
this morning he was going to flare this
one again and and they all but my
favorite had to be Keith Mitchell on
Friday afternoon right before the
weather delay we need to watch this
video and if you haven’t seen it it’s
one of the best videos in the
world oh
big what what impeccable timing you had
there hitting that two seconds before
the there’s a lot of loud noises my
driver this the smash against the ground
the horn the the drop the splash splash
in the water I mean there’s a lot of
things going on and I remember from that
moment I was so mad I walked into the
clubhouse from there everybody else is
getting in shuttles there’s a storm
coming and I was like I don’t care if I
get struck by lightning right now I’m
walking in the clubhouse I’ll never
forget Johnny was sitting there waiting
at the tunnel with an umbrella just
waiting for
me let’s see it one more time why don’t
we great form just fantastic form
believe it or not I still have the same
driver shaft in and it didn’t break and
it’s still in play one of my favorites
is you came back the next morning and
made five what an incredible five and I
made the cut on the number I was playing
behind you I told Smiley when I got to
the tea I couldn’t find anywhere to tea
off cuz you had a trench in in the bo
afraid I was going to spray ankle okay

holding the Clarence jug that we had to
uh quickly jump in there and explain to
him that the actual name of this thing
is The clar Jug and Brian just told me
before we came on there he goes I don’t
even remember him saying that and I said
oh yeah he was walking around I think
you were upstairs or something but he
was announcing to everyone in in the

climb up a little closer to Clark and
most of those with a club he’s normally
really good with well after the last two
weeks how he dri it drove it leading
with
field over here on 17 we got Justin low
and as he walked by I told him Smiley
most improved shots from the last time I
did Smiley’s happy hour 16 you remember
he hit it right in the forehead and we
were all howling at his 40ft Apex off
The Sand Wedge at 16 and let’s see if he
can pay it off a little left or
right buckets most improved
indeed that’s right KZ he was Justin

go hold back here of the 16th R what was
this putt today here for Eagle oh man uh

make his bur over there on uh 17 but I
don’t know just a shot in the dark there
I mean the greens it’s it’s it’s uphill
