(upbeat percussion music)

00:03

Hah.

00:04

(steady percussion music)

00:08

Well, you have one that's got a showb in before

00:11

and I'm sure you probably had a shot like this,

00:12

but how you gonna play this?

00:14

I don't know.

00:15

The only way might be here.

00:17

You kiddin' me with this?

00:19

What are you prayin' before you hit it?

00:21

I already said a prayer.

00:22

(electronic slam)

00:23

Good luck with that one.

00:25

(driving music)

00:28

(cracking)

00:30

(cracking)

00:37

Well, I've seen a thing or two.

00:38

I remember in the Open Championship couple years ago

00:40

at 18 in Hoylake you had some kind of

00:42

Yeah. weird line,

00:43

you figured it out.

00:44

Yeah, I remember that one.

00:45

I had one foot I was able to stay in,

00:46

and I had a knee up on top of the pot bunker.

00:49

And hit a good shot, but this one, ah--

00:51

This one you might have to hit off your knees.

00:54

I may have to.

00:56

So if in fact this was how you were gonna play it,

00:58

because you can't use any lower body,

01:00

you're gonna use,

01:01

cock the club up and just stick it in the ground, or?

01:03

It's plugged a little bit so,

01:06

gotta get it up and steep,

01:07

'cause obviously if you come in here,

01:09

you hit the sand,

01:10

hit it fat,

01:10

it's just gonna go back in the bunker.

01:11

Probably won't make much follow-through either, will ya'?

01:13

Here and just right into the sand.

01:16

So tryin' to hit a little behind it.

01:18

Sound about right?

01:19

Yeah.

01:20

I like it, I don't have to hit it.

01:21

Give it a shot.

01:22

(upbeat music)

01:25

(sandy thud)

01:26

(sandy thud)

01:27

(upbeat music)

01:31

Better than we thought.

01:33

(laughs)

01:35

Just so you know,

01:36

if you get this shot,

01:37

that's all you wanna do is get it out.

01:39

But better than that,

01:39

don't hit here.

01:40

Let's go find a rake.

01:42

That was awesome.

01:43

Left it short of the holey.

01:45

(upbeat music)
