He certainly has. I think he is very inspired by Ortiz's victory last week in Mexico. very low to the front right bunker masters rookie new player from mexico ever won a major born in texas raised in reynosa mexico until age 14 dual citizenship played college golf at the university of oklahoma so many great golfers coming out of Now sang JM also at 12 under par and also a Masters rookie at only 22 years old. Dad, he plays a very old game for a 22 year old, yes he does and he plays a lot, we know he rarely takes a week from the best angle of the three. at 25. beautiful rhythmic swing, oh and just a meter further they could have also hit a right kick.
2020 masters tournament final round broadcast
That will be a quick tip. Young man from Jeju Island in Korea. 22 turned professional in 2015 at just 17 years old. The 2019 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year and seventh career Major appearance finished 22nd this year at the US Open at Wingfoot, but he's a very nice young man with a smooth swing that's not really the model of the young players coming out in two of these days. six foot four 200 pounds over three I'm lucky to stay on top but he was trying to close took the risk she said only 350 yards is 90 yards shorter than any other par 4 here at augusta as we move to the 4. and mcelroy tries make consecutive birdies and that's what you find at augusta national if you miss on the low side that ball starts to gain speed up to seven this is your tiger shot 133 remaining for this elevated green this is the location of the birdie and that turns back and it looks like it's right up against the neck of three hoping to bring some pretty average starting power, the top two are sure to hit at least one shot here back to the par five second, Dustin Johnson of course grew only one to an hour or so from here in columbia, south carolina, he and his brother austin are looking good, they are a great team, they have really worked well together for several years and now they are staying nice and relaxed.
Austin is a very good player too, dad. is and I think some people doubted if this brother connection would be okay and he's been more than okay, I'm sure he has to be three to get to 10 and more because he was doing well yesterday and he got into trouble on the par five. eight ian, yes, he did it on the left, where we have seen many challengers lose their way, frank, as we watch Dustin, now it is not easy with this distance of the tight lie, dottie, no, but I think it is not so tight as this tournament would have been. in April there is still a bit of Bermuda shorts underneath a bit of cushion too much cushion humid conditions so much humidity this week we need a good wind to blow through and dry it out so now we hope that hasn't covered up this hole. twice this week, the first and third round now fight for par, now there's banter and if you're a dancer or you sing, uh, you just have a little more pep in your step because you know maybe there's an opening with a guy which has been nice. bulletproof all week brilliant, took a look along the way carefully, don't bang your ankles, it's early in the round, two bogey free rounds so far in the three for Dustin Johnson, that's the third tee exit, about 50 yards further back, towards the seventh green, that one eh. an excellent group teeing off there, that's what they've been doing so well they've hit a lot of fairways, almost all of them so far this week, the most greens of anyone on the course, but when He gets in trouble, he takes it so naturally, no problems, just to Tap left for par here on the second, so when your wedge game is as good as his, you won't have to be on this mountain emotional Russian.
Butch Harmon really helped him with that a few years ago he had him out. the range with your monitor uh every day I went out for an hour before hitting wedge shots pitch shots this was the third shot that hit a little hard I thought there was a little slowing down or maybe trying to just be a little too much perfect ian yeah that shot surprised me actually dad, I thought he might have gone a little long there and used the back up a little bit but he did it he agreed now this one will be quick we've seen him contribute.
Several times already this week, wonderful touch, you get a sense of the speed, another singing jay coincidentally has Bobby Brown in the bag with him, he caddies, he used to caddy for Dustin Johnson at Seven Tiger, our defending champion, this It's for even, so Tiger will do it. return to four under return to a course with so many notable memories that historically simply brings together the best that every blade of grass is exactly what you are trying to do how you want to execute each shot three cameron smith has been the choice for many players drop the wedge full to stop a big shot, there's only about four or five yards to play on that left side, so Smith will have a chance to get to 14 under par as we get back to two, he'll be allowed to take advantage of any imperfections in the surface Now since the real change a couple of years ago, the best rule change ever, I think the players would agree with me, especially in the morning, where it's very humid and there's still a lot of dew out here, it's not like that.
It dried out still, yes, it was a misty morning. The morning sun began to shine through a beautiful chip down the hill after a good second that, uh, just didn't get him into the bank for 13 under, you'd wonder how he could miss. that shot, then he and Smith birdied the second to get to 13 under Smith Masters rookie, sorry, Masters rookie Smith, of course, had finished fifth here a couple of years ago. Now, can Abraham respond to up-and-down for birdie? He also told us if he wasn't a golfer, he would be a formula one driver, that's his other passion and he raced in that.
Many players have said that they have missed a lot of putts on the high side this week, well there I am. In fact, there is a caddy this week. He took his measurement book of 12 years' worth of notes and didn't even open it because he felt the golf course played too differently. It's not the same place everyone remembered. That's a great point. dottie green is a little slower the humidity a lot of that will stay back four I think Dustin just the tap left of the bar in his last six starts he's had three seconds and two firsts the player in form and the player The rest of the field has to be coming in here and a three shot lead heading to the third tee.
Interesting shot here for a kill and shows you how far you can hit it off the tee, actually took it into that bunker so one of the few. guys trying to hit the driver from the third seat to the four and Sebastián Muñoz here in the fourth very narrow entrance to the screen here only 10 yards wide so the players have to be extremely precise and watch this keep coming it's a amazing shot. I've only had an ace on the fourth hole at the 1992 masters jeff sloman passed to five matsuyama has this for birdie oh you had a good chance to make it how do you think the course will play today nick against the first? three rounds looks very playable perfect weather and still mild still everyone can control these approach shots to seven webb simpson after a perfect drive and look this is the only meeting hole location on the golf course today three to be within four fratelli so many beginners played well this year that he switched to a 46 inch driver which gave him quite a few more miles per hour, that's one way to go and about as much as anyone, maybe excluding Bryson, good start though three bars when I'm a little nervous and of course there's big talk coming up in the biggest 54-hole leads since 2000.
Rory Mcelroy could have left with his first teacher still trying to complete the Grand Slam. Spieth 2015 tied the record at 18 under what it will be this year. it will be for Dustin Johnson the fourth time in a major championship with an advantage or co-lead after 54 holes it is also the important day of the world number one what difference will his resume have if he wins now in the third thomas in a little bit of a problem You need this to pop, maybe just because you can make birdies and groups, but right now, seven shots behind Dustin Johnson, now they're back to answer on the tape, this is kind of a conventional play and that hole is in front anywhere on the The front of the green settles and works in aangle, yes, leave a shot about 130 yards, try to drive it as close as you can, yes, if you have a little control on the leaderboard, if Cameron Smith makes this appearance, we may have someone who is prepared to take on today's challenge, great start, but he is two and three and only two behind, he only got through four, five and six well, they are the most difficult three at the moment, Dustin, he did not hesitate to go with this club, Frank and Donny, which he also forgot.
I remember the meniscus tear, so we saw some strange results. It wasn't until Hartford that he started swinging the club well again. The tee shot he hit in Hartford left some mouths open. It was huge. He won that week. The drives. like the one that Dotty just referred to on the 18th hole he simply hit it and that was the signal for his return to fall and Muñoz after that brilliant iron shot he launches it for birdie that takes him to 10 under par and what is the first dominance that you are having. went to 12. a moment ago masters 2015champion just his third hole two t is operating today 60 players yes, I think all this owes to more than one he finished second and 14 wins in 15 remember that he had an advantage when reaching that quadruple hole bogey seven talks to tom weiskopf said he would never do it Ever forget that at 15. and amateur Andy Ogletree, a beautiful two-putt birdie there on 15 that takes him to a minus and those are the two amateurs who made the cut here, Ogletree and Orgenstein, whoever scores the lowest between these two will be down. in the steward's cabin for today's ceremony and what excitement there will be now at the t in the fourth cameron smith now just two behind johnson after birdies at the second and third okay actually a better mistake there in the bunker left than it is in the right bunker for that whole location, but he'll still have a lot of work ahead of him to make a par here and, for TV, his second master missed the cut on his first attempt in 2018, man, that'll be fine over there. a little bit double, but I would have practiced that part in three and ansa 126 to the front left 137 in total, you put this ball back thinking that you are going to have more spin because there is that little extra lip that we talked about. on that you have to cover and just about four steps behind him you can do four very easily in the salt, take that flag and then that kind of thing happens that is a good eight feet below the level of the putting surface Dustin he'll keep walking his drive to five here's capcom oh what a good shot you'd never believe it's been like the easiest bunker on the entire golf course you've seen all week it's a pretty daunting day it's five six feet deep we've we turn it into shooting practice.
We've seen everyone go up and down, something you wouldn't expect. Let's go back to three and make one of those shots between the wedges. Even when the golf course is a little soft, this still scares me. It has to be very precise if it comes in a little alone, a little fast, it just won't hold it, almost like it bounces, it has a very open, frank club fit, which also increases the bounce of the club, yes, and the downhill oh , very good, it was not a rookie play, isn't it that easy? He made it seem that way, but we know he's not the defending champion, we'll put the green jacket on him, maybe this guy has a long way to go, does he have to crash? this on the bench, he has that option, yes, but it's that lip we talked about that if it's not perfect could really ruin you, I think given Frankie's upward slope, he can fly this ball on the green, oh no There is a problem, it is safe. date 12 15 feet not his best but not his worst really his first legit birdie so far today played on the front nine so far this week nine under par yeah no fun down here for Panzer talked about the need to play a mistake-free round of golf and That's it, well I guess he almost made the bunker shot before stopping, yes he certainly did.
This one is much harder, you can't even see the top of the flagpole from there, I just had to dig down, you see the knee sink in and that's it. The fast part here is forensic to try to stay between 12 under par and 16. And here is the second look of it for Andy Ogletree and that will be a memory for the 2019 US Amateur champion. Consecutive birdies in the final round and two under par . let's go to 18. here's bryson a shambo on his ninth hole 100 for the round yeah i almost made a two on the 13th he came back brushed the hole finished uh bigfoot from the hole playing with bernard langer so bernard will have some stories to tell later of that, yeah, it's not fair, there's a gap of about 80 yards between those two of the team, let's go to four and Smith's big break from the left side, here he also needs a lot of spin and that's fine. played he is four for six in san save so far this week but the pressure has increased now and he wants to keep the pressure on Johnson after that quick start back to three answer he needs a good touch downhill he will definitely go to the back of the green, so he will go down to make his job a little more difficult.
It's amazing that, uh, the first time he hasn't won since Fuzzy Ella 79 and Zeller that year, four times a runner-up came in good form and his answer is son jm a. win this year rory mcilroy is still recovering despite that first round 75. now johnson, the subtleties of this hole, now always beyond the hole you are returning to, you should also want to go to the right, yes, the putt of Austin like he thinks it's Gonna be about a cup and a quarter to the left, first birdie of the day 17 under one off the record, yeah, strut to the fourth tee, big birdie to drop and fratelli for birdie, first piece goes a little to the right and then it starts to come. the comeback gets pretty quick here that's well done come back at three sun jm to respond and stay within three is a good start for m friends at two and three and three behind Dustin Johnson Sunday morning of November we have waited all year for this master It would be like not having Christmas Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta Georgia CBS Sports proudly presents the Masters for the 65th time.
It's a pleasure and an honor to be here and yes, the sun is shining after a cloudy and misty start that pushed back the tee. times, about 10 minutes, we'll finish early in the afternoon here and Dustin will be able to hang on and win that green jacket up about 75 miles from here in the Columbia, South Carolina area. This was always the tournament that meant the most to him and maybe he adapted to his round with that key birdie putt, wait a moment ago in the third period, it's beautiful, the only problems we had all week were on Thursday early in the morning, after the honorary starters got things going, it will hit 70. and it feels so good when frank said hey, it's like a year without christmas, the long-awaited masters tournament is here, let's turn it down to the butler's cabin and let's just say hello friends, jim is dancing with sir nick faldo and this is the room where the green jacket is. he's going to show up, yeah, there you go, six feet away, what do you think of Dustin, what are the key points going to be today and that was a great putt he just made, we have all the stats, he's literally number one. .
In driving, the number one increases, but he is here and here now, right? greens, it was a fantastic brilliant up and down putt, so that's very important, but the guys chasing them look very comfortable, don't they? No problem, they're behind, they're rookies, nothing, they don't know what to expect, just go and do their cap a big favor, just go and play really well today and one of the things you were saying to keep an eye on today is their shots. start on the four par fives, he missed birdie two after driving it in the first cut and we'll see what happens with the other three, but the lead is three as we return live to the fourth and some jm, what a breeze there is It's hurting the players and should really negate the elevation change.
Beautiful golf shot, yes, he sure flew out. Right on that backing behind the whole location that will just feed back toward the edge of the green, but from there we'll go up the hill. What a start the now 22-year-old DJ has had with a four iron in hand. Through three rounds, Dustin with the best greens in regulation, 47 of the 54 greens he had hit, so the swing is on point, yes, it was a clinic he put on yesterday, both with the irons and with Golf ball handling, oh, it fell short, yes, the wind came. he got up and hit it straight out of the air to five smith during the three days what has been played is the most difficult hole during the first three rounds 18 has been the second most difficult, but that is an excellent drive for smith, which looks very comfortable as nick said: let's go back to the fourth and abraham answers difficult place trevor to try to get back on track a round sure is four to seven really just trying to hold on until you can get to the par 5 8.
Looks like he's getting ready for Some kind of draw here, oh, one just flies to the edge there, which will leave an extremely difficult up and down, but this man has great touch around the green, so if anyone can do it, they can do it over 18 .And again the ninth hole for Bryson. looking for birdie after a wonderful approach it has been a very strange journey since thursday for bryson having to take a penalty and a double early on his third hole of the tournament, our fourth hole of the tournament and then the lost ball on the second day at the third, a ball found just minutes after the three-minute search ran out led to a three-pointer and he also said Friday night that he felt sick and dizzy and disoriented, but all of those things added up to a performance of 400 parts for this point tied for 24th place with players like Tiger, let's go to sixth and rory mcilroy for birdie.
Well, we're still chasing that elusive championship at Augusta. Dustin Johnson right in front in the fourth with a three-stroke lead. Mcilroy has been trying to play. Catch up from an opening 75. Speaking of Thursday morning openings, if you love this game and ever get a chance to see it, the honorary tee shots are so special and this year with President Fred Ridley introducing the legends from number one player Gary Jack. Nicholas That was at 6 53 Thursday morning In less than five months the golf world will gather again here in Augusta and this week's announcement from President Ridley that Lee Elder will be the first black golfer to play in the masters on 19 74 75 will be joining gary and jack on the first tee as one of the honorary starters, let's go back to the room where it looks like Dustin Johnson is absent, dad, it looks like he'll tee off first, that ball just left his bone pitch mark for maybe two balls wide, the biggest part of this putt is the false front that's seven yards deep right where you're standing, which is pretty steep, that bank you have to make, right?
It's very steep, yes, I don't think there's any chance of stopping it on its feet, but it's going to be a big part of the speed. I think the most important thing will be how the ball rolls down the fairway because if it starts to lose momentum early it's just not like that. He'll have enough to climb that bank, yes, if he bounces a little on the Bermuda, which is still a strong part of the surface right now, that might reduce some of the speed he jumped with, so he's got a lot of work left. There to try to save the cake, he was bogey-free in yesterday's flawless third round of golf, but adversity came early in this final round because Dustin Johnson also had to make a great save, which is a whole in which I would have been thinking of doing. birdie now responds ball released from his uh impact marketer right at the bottom of the bunker good lie ah that's very good that's the best you can do without hitting the flagpole that bunker about eight feet deep up to five cam smith That really much of the international world found out about him even though he was winning all kinds of events in Australia as a junior and as an amateur, this one got away from them, yeah, oh, watch out and miss that bunker they've been using as kind of a side stop, there's no room to go up, let's say Paul's on the fourth fabulous bunker shot to make par, but that one will be really difficult, no, not much, I had a little bit of backup, uh, for safety, but it's the lie there.
It won't be easy, we first heard about him at Chambers Bay when he finished fourth at the US Open, won by Spieth by one over Dustin Johnson, so they're on the same leaderboard again, DJ and Smith as we come back to the fourth and some. Jm, looking at this birdie putt, the first part of this putt will go back up the hill, but then it will make a sharp turn to the right as it descends close to the cup only to get within two, as we've seen throughout week. of players were missing on the high side but no damage there, this fourth hole started to show some teeth here over the weekend playing much harder so the par three scores well.
What I put in the third one was huge, Trevor, wasn't that what left an awkward pattern, but thiswill be bigger, well this is one of those putts where you have to do a couple of things right because you are playing it so far from the hole that it breaks from its right side that then you also have to dial in that perfect speed to be able to pour it there, you probably just need to hit it just a little bit. I would choose the firmest one because it is a bit uphill, isn't it? It will definitely go back uphill, which is the same as the third one.
That was a bit of an uphill climb, so it looks on that graph, as you would expect from a guy who's 17 years old under the putter. He's been red hot. I said he's been trying to take his hands a little higher in management and see it as something simple. while I'm trying to get started in my spot, get it online as soon as you can, that familiar routine trying to keep your right elbow nice and relaxed as you get into position, even made putts like that in practice qualifying this morning. about the most excitement I've seen from Dustin all week that he's going to start tightening up shots now in the fifth because you know now he realizes that you know one more little mistake and the guys are going to catch him and just four holes and that lead was halved at the fifth ball pushed him into a fairway bunker and he couldn't advance as far will this long putt for par currently be five behind in time for the fourth with answer who is about to intervene in the fourth and maybe the ghost in the third so we need to go in to stop the bleeding here, yeah the man who doesn't fail missed that one in the second.Which must have really rocked his socks.
I would have thought your hands feel a little different. Yes, in the final round of the Master. Hey, there's a science to that Trevor. Plus, when you get nervous, you have less blood in your hands. why then you think, oh, they feel different and then you and you react differently, so that's what you're going to be dealing with on Sunday, all the new feelings, your body, your hands, your mind, Kentucky from the committee Masters and PGA Tour rules. getting relief over here nick, i can't see well in the shadows. I guess it's that, well, there might still be a little bit of moisture in there, maybe like casual water, usually a guy would be moving around, we want to show him to prove it, but he's not doing that, so I'm not sure this time on the tee, let's see if this guy can maintain this fade consistency almost every time a couple of pulls yesterday aren't perfect, how about it's your yard or?
Is it that clear? Not even a one-yard faded Dustin is going to see that and let's start asking the question: Has this guy never hit a single shot off the line? He is a young man, he is only 22 years old. Yes, excuse me, yes, yes, he is ranked 25th in the world. It was a tee shot that Dustin was very lucky with yesterday he found this little space between the two bunkers they are at the top of the hill little wind right to the left and that wind is actually picking up oh that's stuck right in the bunkers again and in Oh boy now we have an interesting situation, suddenly the fade doesn't come back, a bit of a shaky start and look what a lie, he's much improved after getting relief so he can still escape with a partial nick.
Yes, this hole is a test. The t has been there for a couple of years and now he stretched out and managed to get an extra 40 yards, two huge bunkers and a raised fairway to the right of the bunkers. He can't go left. The trees would block it. He sees the absolute. Perfect terrain, terrain again, I would turn and then this is one of the iconic greens in the world of golf, very famous with its false S shaped front, it actually wasn't that fluted with the front section, the whole location a long time ago back, today you can't get into that. left bunker in the middle the green is great just make it loose and you know, as I have said many times, two parts come out of it, how about 12 birdies for the whole week?
Wow, let's get off the tee, no, yeah, looking for the fade. It didn't happen, so you know, we're trying to emphasize that the body is going to feel a little bit different at the time, a fractional difference, what a steep face, although in this bunker, yeah, it's eight feet deep there at least. , so we'll rely on leaving a Good number, well that tells us a lot, the fact that he only hit one of his first four fairways after hitting them all, yes, two right, one left for Tele, now he has a long par putt too, like Smith, he read it a little wrong. he leaves the flag stuck on almost everything within 30 to 40 feet he wears those long sleeves he said helps him stay cool and keeps the sun off his arms yes, sun sleeves I tried them once in Asia and hit a ghost for the first time he lasted a shot yesterday on the second chamber nine, hit three greens and the first two months of our free time on tour, you know, he went fishing every day in pontrevilla and finally a month because I couldn't get there, I didn't know When did I start?
The date was going to happen for beginners so once they told me we would start again I went to the practice field so I am an excellent fishing guide if you are in the pontchar area the DJ will move on no can reach the green. He won't try to do anything crazy here, he'll just move forward as much as he can. He now he is very intelligent. He has 181 in front. Number one deal is always get the ball out, give yourself a chance to save, yeah that's always a discouraging little third. Now I have to cross the ridge, otherwise it will turn back and if you get too bold it will jump from behind, let's go to seven, here is Kepca, third shot right next to the green, oh, there you have the first birdie of the day, nine under par at five.
In his second masters for tele, the co-leader of the first round when he shot 65 he shared with Paul Casey and Dustin. He would just like to get his second round back because he came in on Saturday at shot 67, yeah, he learned from that, he lost his rhythm. Really fast and furious that day and then obviously I recognized it and came back. Next up was much better going back for the fifth, that's Abraham's answer from 241 yards total, all this even completely different from yesterday with the wind changing, I just want the Hill up, stand up, stand next to his balls, Dustin , looking back at m, who is his closest pursuer, with Smith falling back 13 under Emmett, 14 2, out of the lead, could really apply a little more pressure with a big iron shot here, this is very low and headed to the left.
Wow, we don't see that he can't do that intentionally, he can't get a draw, he doesn't even try and he disappears there before where we saw Smith get relief, but that's thick and it's going to be a juicy lie. Again, no green to work with, it looked like one of the fences at the Grand National where he crashed into that, yeah, everyone's going to feel it today, Dolly, one day, just because Dustin, you know, just slowed down, that means These guys think, Oh my God! I get a chance and then they say, "Oh my God, these are the masters, that's exactly right and especially for these guys who are really in contention for the first time for a major championship, it's a learning experience, like you said, especially what your body feels." reacts Dustin has been there, he has felt that they have been negative, but here we go, he is a big help, that is a fabulous shot, look at how it falls off the back edge, that could have been a very key little two-shot moment in this final . round yeah I had a chance to apply some heat he's going to have a hard time making par and Dustin has a great chance to save one as we go to Cameron Smith's 6th location traditional for someday and he's off the green he sells a ball. and uh that ball is the result of this effort by justin thompson, very nice now that we are live here it is for television, I am happy, it is quite obvious when the ball is a meter from the stick and he bends down, raises his t and grab a banana. he takes some potassium for the brain and then goes back to the five, well the answer has a long putt, you know he could finish.
Dustin could be closer than anyone after playing the thirds of him, yes, good point, that would be a very good way, Abraham, to enter. that big swing, the whole right side of this green is really where it goes up and down, this is the one I want to see, dottie, the ball really sits on that second cut and it almost looks like some kind of infinite shot. the bunker like there's not much to work with, he had the club wide open when he put it there the first time, so we go, we go very high and I think you start to look beyond the hole, where I land this for a chance to save, don't complicate, yes, that mistake, yes, your minimum is that you have to land on the high flag because you want to be super cute, don't make it more complicated than it is and don't complicate it.
Oh, there you do it, are you doing it right? I think he was just sitting up long enough, so it was a fabulous shot. Yes, they will start at home and look each other in the eyes. Now contact him and come. The answer could be to have a It's difficult to replace the ball, that's exactly right. There's so much slope there that I just have a hard time getting that ball back into play. Try to get there as close as possible if it's not exact. You find it difficult to replace it. nick, how did you stop there in the first place?
I agree, hey, what a good camera it is, now look at the dimples, okay, no one's breathing, I'm just going to say that, oh, and look what it has, it's a masterpiece, the fifth green and as you inspect. let's go to the sixth dylan fertelli very far from home well, very nice back to the five this is like a slingshot this one aims well and will continue to turn I mean slightly to the right about 15 18 feet at least it is a wonderful clearance well powder ends up being the distance one after three shots are played great par putt going up let's go to six this is Cameron Smith's chip a little delicate due to the nature of the green it becomes too aggressive it's down and too far let's go back to five now the pressure has returned to the dust and the other two guys look good, now you have to do it, never be in a hurry on the green.
He knows that what he wants to do is be determined to make his full shots this year, which marks, by the way, the 150th anniversary, so to speak. since the birth of dr. aleister mckenzie, bobby jones, contributor here at augusta, and mackenzie once said that this fifth green in his mind has characteristics of the road hole green at st andrews nick, you got some big ones, this one is big for dustin, a little weak. again, a week of hair, notice that sensation of impact just that two inches through the ball a fraction more commitment and the advantage is one, everything I had accumulated in the bank practically disappeared, let's go to six cameron smith to par and remains two behind the leader now in his fourth masters back to five and now m and that's just a splendid up and down par fratelli made his second putt on the sixth for his par and let's get back to six well this was a moment was justin thomas and there is a possible possibility that he is gone here is the answer back to five with his pair. has been runner-up twice this year finished second to andrew landry in palm springs but shot final round 63. finished second in second tournament after restart at hilton head to webb simpson shot 65 on final day so it doesn't go away, but looking back at the third shot at two, that surprises you, well, it's a complicated field goal from an awkward lie, you know?
He got into the rough right and tried his seven wood, left it too close to the green, but saved par, made a birdie on the three and then failed to make three putts, the first coming from the front to save par on fourth. The shot killed him here in the fifth, yes, only two in a row missed the fade, we have to find that, I have to get that feeling again. The seventh is a difficult tee, you just had to hit it four inches hard, you never made it and now the final group remains. on the t at six and you see the aerial view of the par 36 playing today at 185 yards and about a 30 foot drop from the t to the green where did you get the crazy wind?
I have it, if anything, it would be the player's Right now there's a stop, you can see the trees moving, yeah, from the right, help, help achieve all these guys, they're all faders 179 to the top, this is an iron seven, yes, anything. the flag and the right edge of the green are perfect. Bruce just showed up. Nick is now trying to help. He's over that one. Oh wow, it really is hard to get the right club all the way to 17. Cam Smith seems to be heading to the right, yeah. He lost a couple yesterday afternoon, didn't he especially at 5pm?
Could you get away with that ticket certainly far enough well off line very narrow driving hole back to six abraham's answer same club seven look at those clouds the clouds are going left? right, the grass cart flew up it was down he did the same thing he did the same thing this is your measuring stick on your nerves this this six hole you can get to that upper plateau how's Dustin Johnson's mood? I haven't noticed the um his demeanor changing there are no signs of frustration his pace remains the same he goes with an eight iron I would favor him because of the way he throws the ball to the right you can release it it should work with thewind I'm sure I'll be very important, very important, so it's a test of nerves for the day and let's go to the eight, be careful with Rory, two birdies so far today, 330 yard drive here on the eighth and he throws it for two, so who has an eagle putt, could rory mcilroy come back from an opening 75? on Thursday he is 10 under par and just five behind Dustin Johnson's lead Eagle Putt next Ferrari birdie for Dustin stay with us the Masters is sponsored by Mercedes-Benz The Best or Nothing at T and by IBM the world is going hybrid with IBM Things have gotten tough in the final round, it all depends on a nod from Lance Barrow, our coordinating producer, our leader, who has been working on this tournament for CBS since 1977.
He has put his heart and soul into this tournament, his Wife Melissa and daughters Katie and Caroline will attest to this and their passion has manifested itself time and time again in their 44th Masters Tournament. We are all grateful for his friendship and leadership. We're back at the sixth and sunjm, that's a deft touch, yeah, it was really good because it looked like he was sitting down. with a touch he made it perfectly to seven, well this is what cam smith is up against, I'm just not sure of any bailout options, to be honest it's a full swing trying to get up and over, oh that's it amazing, really remarkable, what a good shot, they always say you have to keep it under the hole, but that took a little talented 27 year old right in the middle of the conversation here on sunday, back at six and a 29 year old abraham years responded with a good five feet of lift. change and then you can't see it, he's been under pressure on every putt so far, dad, hasn't he?
He hasn't made it easy for himself and seven away from the second cut, fratelli 135 remaining, this was a few moments ago, that is only possible because the greens are still maintained normally, and from that angle it is impossible to do so, you will have a great opportunity to reach 11 under, back to six, where Dustin Johnson looks over a fern of birdie chance, it seems. For me, in big championships there are decisive moments throughout the week and especially on Sunday, and this could be one of them. I can somehow maintain this and get things going in the right direction with the opportunity in the eight (we've seen that nine is actually a birdie opportunity this week) could get you back into that mode you've been in for three days, well, such a contrast, Saturday not Sunday. unusual I guess, but no, you had a torrid start yesterday and a shaky start today for birdie, that little touch on the right elbow, so keep the two elbows level, which you do well now, let's see if you can take advantage of that to make birdies. bogeys back where it started this morning at eight has had three eagles here in the past the first three rounds only three birdies this will really pick up speed here and it looks good a lovely touch it looks good by a long way doesn't it rory mcilroy?
It's going to be three under to eight eleven under when we get back to six and he sang jm oh God, well there was a time when he had a great chance to save par on this to not be a four against six and that'll leave it at that. to abraham answers see if he can find the three the contrast with the dj's experience 23 wins on the tour and these two young men answer and kim is the first to master each one wow, well if you look at the tour van, he is the man you can, I can almost say all the time.
This guy comes back and holds it up for me to just make the point, but two short misses today from a guy who just doesn't miss must be brutal, hey, that's a head-scratcher, now they need to take a deep breath and Gather Things We Need to Eat just to take advantage of the birdie for Rory will be the first time in his 12 Masters appearances that he has birdied the eighth hole all four days, he said he turned out the lights yesterday. 1.3 were his numbers, greens and the regulation said he really was. excited about his putt, what a comeback this would be after an opening 75, long after a brilliant second shot over the trees, to this point cam smith has a birdie chance to get within one now, how good was that tremendous, there are already three birdies on the card and this young ozzy is only one behind the t Dustin great shot how close this shot is on the seventh it was actually the second hardest fairway to hit during the week he wants to putt well and he makes on that second cut it's a little thicker it feels like in some places here in November now I'm one down on seventh this week how will you respond after the perfect bogey right in the middle back to the green leaving the flag on the tele for birdie and that takes him to 11 under mcilroy there five back to nine continues to fight and fight to come back I mean he looks so done wow after his first round 75 with a change of about 30 minutes yeah like I said such time went from, you know, trying. make things happen just let things happen now obviously you've done that fanta you must be thinking now go crazy make six more birdies and who knows 15. and jordan spieth just made three birdies in a row so this for the fourth, what a career that's on the 2015 champion made a great putt just to make the cut after two rounds Dustin Johnson leads by two at augusta national we believe in the power of the game of golf.
I'm here to share some exciting news in honor of a wonderful man whose impact on Augusta National and the game of golf has been pioneering and profound. That man is Mr. Lee Elder. Lee Elder was the first black man to play in the Masters tournament. In fact, this year we celebrate the 45th anniversary of this historic moment. the honor of being a part of what is augusta national and the wonderful people that surround ghosts, among the ways we exercise this belief is to use our resources to support our long-standing annual unrestricted donation to payne college, one of America's Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Lee has graciously agreed to join our efforts as the namesake of the Lee Elder Scholarship.
This scholarship will be awarded annually to a student-athlete on the Payne College men's golf team. We will also award a second scholarship to the Payne College women's golf team. I would like to share with you details about next year's Masters. We have extended a special invitation to Mr. Elder, who agreed to join Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player on the first tee for the honorary start of the 85th Masters tournament, but so that they would have Me, as the person they have selected to come and do this , I show the relationship we have had in recent years for everyone involved in the Masters tournament.
It is an honor. He is a special man. I know how much it means. for lee and his wife sharon it will be april 8th thursday of the 2021 masters that will begin again with lee in the t with jack and gary just a year after he won the bob jones award being recognized with the highest of the usga name of honor for the national co-founder of augusta let's go back to the octave and cameron smith leading it there in the perfect position, you may have heard in the seventh when he holds that part, someone shouts, "queenslander", it's a familiar chant in our native state. by another queenslander when you do something well then he obviously has a coach or a family member there as we go back to seven watching Dustin lie what do you think Dottie Eli isn't terrible?
We have two problematic members behind in front. him who's been looking to take a cheap shot under brother austin looks to me like he's headed for the right bunker maybe looking to see oh stand back he's going to move the rake that's a good spot yeah yeah that would have been a murderer. It is not like this? Trying to slide it up is good enough to make it happen. Sunday's traditional position on the right front, which is considered a birdie spot, finds that center bunker on nine, so he shoots 75 in his first round again. The tournament was off schedule due to thunderstorms early Thursday morning.
He didn't have enough time to come out and do a full warmup, just took a couple shots and then got this merman-like pep talk from a proud Notre Dame alumnus and I guess. Jimmy Dunn said, go out and do what you do, and yeah, little fire, that's what I would say, just go for it, go for it now that you're behind the eight ball, as they call it in America. and then and just be reckless because it's Monte Carlo, a 14 under par failure from that first round, let's go back to the seven m. The pitching wedge doesn't need much all of a sudden we get three in a row now at 12. five time champion check out 12 here 1997 23 years ago hello one for 12 yeah about Tom Kite 2001 that stands out for me because it was four consecutive major championships and no one else in golf managed those 158 yards. you know where that hole is located, but today in the breeze, yeah, there's enough going on down there at 12 to really make you think, yeah, focus properly on the angle here, I feel something different, just back off, okay?
Do you hear that from Joey if you feel it? something different back up restart well, it should be, he should be coming down from the right, that's what he's doing at the top of the hill because we know he comes down and hits the trees and does a quick swirl. I made the right decision here last year. early start on sunday yeah low fade 15 feet left boy keep in mind you're only at 300 if you want to make a one oh boy one more ball isn't that ironic a year later I was going to say nick , there are like four guys who faced each other last year. in the water saying why did you do that in 2019 wow yes he played the best strategy shot here it was good kepca first and copy what tiger just did this was really important it was actually a small mistake before when it slid up. based on the clock he just didn't get there, there was no compression on the ball and then Tiger went in between the bunkers when it mattered, Nick, yeah, Jack talked about it, that's what you do, of course, one more man was there and He cut it and it's a good seven meters from where they were trying to land, it's a good two-parter, maybe it's the national 12.
This is where he ended up with his second shot on the green, one of these five bunkers that surround it. been here so many years, you know how fast he is, he's actually looking more to the left now maybe he would try to slow down some of the speed that helped him learn to play augusta national by talking to another golfer from korea, kj choi, with a great record. around here I'm not sure if they discussed this particular shot or not. I was going to try to take it to the right, as soon as I got to the green, it needs to stabilize quickly, it shows how fast it is and that's going to be fine off the green these are those moments of contention on Sunday that constantly test your nerves now powder is essentially a flat lie but there's a lot of sand behind it this should make it harder to turn outstanding currently with the two shot lead level for your final round ahead of the eight we'll need a good solid three wood here from 272.
Oh, It's a great shape, just needed three more yards of shot and that could have taken that front knob, but plenty of green to play with. hole location back left, just two behind Dustin Johnson, who looks like he's going to make four in the seventh. Can you birdie here and get within one? Return to your account at seven. Okay, be part of the chip. I almost said it, a few more rotations and what was happening would have been a great four touches for consecutive bogeys, it will make the eighth really important for him, 22 years old from South Korea, let's go back and give Rory a chance. to get another closer shot, have him shoot 33 and head to the back nine trying to play the best night of his life to maybe complete the grand slam of his career.
If you could do something crazy, let's go to 12. Put it back online. I saw this in 2015 with Spieth. About half an hour ago I saw Matt Wallace in a similar tent, but he didn't hold up for Woods Seven, now Dustin is trying to get him up and down. Let's check at nine, first quarter even, he shot 31 on the second nine twice, nick, if he could do something like that thirty-one thirty-two thirty who knows, I would have thought he must be thinking about thirteen, you know Dustin could , he should probably move up to 18 under somewhere around seven to stay at 16 under. maintain this two-stroke lead well trying to break a streak of 0-4 as a 54-hole leader in eight-shot majors dylan fratelli his third shot of 184 had to go that far, that's why he has gone so far to a good distance, it is pretty interesting on that steep slope how your leg doesn't really work well talking about leg action oh boy oh black's fifth shot was straight over the green that's the six oh my god after the last one what's this good too after Thursday remember that opening round 68 that tightest and lowest opening round ever, yeah that's certainly going to hurt your back oh it sure is a different year.
Austin Johnson right now has made it interesting. Young Australian Cameron Smith, the closest pursuer, Sun Jm of Korea, is trying to win his second championshipimportant for his home country, 54-hole leader, it is not the first time he has been in that position in a major championship. Will he convert this time? Well, Tiger hit his next shot from the bunker, which was his eighth to about 15 feet, two putt for a 10-10. His highest score on a par three in a major championship had been a six, but that was one of the best pictures from last year when Tiger was on the green and the other two players were falling and how does that happen a year later? shocking, back to the 8th and it looks like another exceptional drive for Dustin Johnson well beyond that 315 yard bunker, perfect, great view of what Cameron Smith faces with a lob with some spin, a little too much, which wasn't .
Hoping he's telling you that he would have thought he would normally hit the downslope of that ridge better than at that distance he still has a birdie putt. Sanjay would need two of his best to get here, well there's the first one. from the fourth little dead pitch of the two, now fratelli, shallow angle of attack, a good spin, pretty good indication of how quick it is to get off that slope, that's what Cameron Smith was hoping for with his pitch, we headed to Rory in the tenth, he needs to play like That tornado cloud Jim doesn't look like one, but he needs a nine-hole whirlwind to where the bull looms at the top of the hill and we don't expect anything to happen, but that tee shot is one that I know it attracts some bad guys. memories but back to thomas at eight this for birdie give cameron smith a good look at the line that's closest it's time he told himself a disappointing six in the second derailed his chances let's take a look at yellow jasmine just a spectacular 575 yard par 5 up the hill here's the landing zone the big hitters can fly over that bunker with a really good one we saw rory up there on 3 30.
Dustin Johnson in a similar spot second shot if you can get to En the bunkers, you can try it for two, like Cam Smith was trying to do, or lie back here, giving yourself the proper angle. All placement today, back left, so the front right section leaves a decent opportunity for the 4.66 can pitching stroke average. he did what justin thomas did before him half an inch away his compatriot bruce devlin back in 1967 he did a double eagle albatross here holding a forward from 248 yards they are the only two ever recorded in the eighth he needed to keep the pedal down there he needed to commit four bogey on the fifth, he thought he had it, the damage was done with the chip Cameron taking a look at the leaderboard, he knows where he is, he knows that Dustin Johnson, handling the ball well, has the firepower to get to this hole and 13 and 15.
On the back nine all players know they have to take advantage of these five, now Fratelli needs this.one for par to remain tied with rory mcilroy in a tie for fourth place. He had the winning putt in 2012 for the national title playing at the University of Texas. He was on the same team as a young Jordan Spieth. two main things they try and do here is to keep the six off the card, especially in these five, keep the three putts from not being in ten, yes, a longer second shot that they expected, way back, 221 nick, yes , I'll fit in your eye, though with a good draw on that slope, oh no, no. a drone tops that kev so far there especially well it has a little bit of space yeah how many times have you seen someone that high up on that far right at 10 but who knows maybe you can get up and down you got the room let's eight? there's a long way behind Dustin's ball, Donny, he's 17 yards behind Dustin's ball, but he's only 226 in front of him, well, Cameron Smith got him up there, just short of 272, so he can't get ahead and that's okay if you miss, miss right because of where the hole was cut, yesterday went left here yesterday, the left of the mounds had trouble and that's almost on Cam Smith's divot, but because of the way in that he's been throwing and breaking what he's putting in a clinic, I did a fantastic up and down. par from there yesterday, now Dustin, so ian I'm going to correct myself.
He hit three woods back there in the second, but this is confirmed. Seven wood, thanks dottie, nice high fade, just 209 in front, that's a good line, yes sir and boy. That was coming from a great height, that's where Rory was with his second from him, so Dustin Johnson at 16 under par and two ahead of Cameron Smith has an eagle putt on the eighth. Can he extend the lead and win his first green jacket for live

s? scoring news and more, visit masters.com we're at the t at nine with man in second place cameron smith 27 of brisbane introduced to the game by his father dez a scratch golfer that's been his mistake isn't it so oh? that last little side kick wasn't so good, maybe, who knows, you can design a shot that most can?
We're back in the eighth, okay, Dustin Johnson, sanjay m and abraham respond, go up to the top of the hill. that's the 9th fairway on the left and the way back behind the green fratelli who says he's competed in golf tournaments in 45 countries he's traveled went through the passport pretty quickly and this is what mcelroy looks like on the right of the 10th Well, you can go. because it looks good, try to find a little upward slope, bank it, I ended it on the margin, I mean it's the best you can do, turn around, I said I landed on the margin, I probably needed to land on the street back in the eighth and again on nick and talking to you, mr nick, you talked about driving the par five t shots for dust would be key in this setup well, from here on oh beautiful response shot you need to find another gear that's going to claim to have backed off , yeah, if Dustin can make some easy birdies here and that's what he needs, you know, those made a good drive there in two if he does the same thing on 12 and, uh, 13 or 15, rather, that's very key, everyone knows it holds. his cushion was fine, unfortunately he didn't get far enough left in two when he was on the second cut there, so he couldn't get it to the green and ended up making par, but you're right, nice drive here .
He has the seven wood on the green. The 13th will simply be a short iron. when he won, this guy is as good around the greens, as good as I've ever seen him, he's anything but one-dimensional, so he's not afraid to manipulate the clubface and hit different shots, but in and around his stance the same thing happened. same in the group. Go ahead, dad, that Cameron Smith had the same shot, but he didn't get the slope right, so 12 feet for birdie to get to 13 under, but Dustin you'd think 45 feet for eagle, he'll take a good look at it. we go to 13 and Tiger's second went to 12 with a red three and he comes here with a black four after the 10 on the 12.
It would be nice to recover with an eagle, although wouldn't you see that's where you think this putt? It's going to break, you see, where his brother Austin is trying to figure out the slope trying to find the high point. This is the fifth time he has had a 54-hole lead in a major shot, 70 three times out of those four and he didn't do it. He continued his winning recently at the PGA Championship when Colin Morricauer shot 64 to pass him and win at Harding Park in San Francisco. He recently he worked a little bit with Greg Norman on his putting.
He was playing a game. He is good friends with Greg's son. Gregan. playing in the grove back in Jupiter on Michael's field he quickly went to nine now he's retiring he was trying to put a solid foot on the pine straw let's go back to eight first I have to be a little careful here and if you understand it beyond this hole, he escapes, yes, we saw that scorer in the group before with Fratelli's chip, if he can somehow adjust it down there, it puts a lot more pressure on him, it's a good line, all good, straight, uphill, five feet for birdie tonight. winner 10 months ago at waialae in hawaii oh he hit an amazing shot in the 7th can he do it again? and he'll get his way if he kicks he's done it again this could be really good he's not lovable he almost broke his kneecap while I was looking at that one, there's two of them and if he takes two incredible shots, seven or nine, where Are you saying kneeling praying for a little luck?
He was answered at 10 for par. Oh, you made a good run to eat about a foot break 15 feet away for him, another finds the center of the cup, wonderful pace for his putt, beautiful, he's also been pretty impassive, whether the short one He failed in the sixth or that when he entered it was simply still water, yes. There isn't much emotion between him and Johnson. They are there? They just go about their business and make it look easy. Two different styles of play, of course, Rory tapped on 10. Once again, Austin just figures out the angle and closes his eyes. and now he's got a tiger for eagle idea once again, he mentioned it earlier in the week he missed a lot of putts on the high side, they just aren't breaking the same thing we're used to seeing, no oh there's the ten I can't You see that very often and certainly not on a card with Tiger Woods' name at the top.
This is what he has been doing so well this year. Yes very good. Dustin Johnson had to go to eagle. Good rhythm. Two putts for birdie. I don't think he realized how important that was because he has no idea what Cam Smith did later, that's right, Cam Smith has a good chance to make it to 15 only to push a sand wedge up to nine for Dustin, although to birdie the eighth hole this week. he has averaged 4.65 only one eagle all week, so three birdies with our final group Abraham responds that he does not find the track to his liking today nine under par as they return well 50 60 yards to the ninth tee and we are on the green without believe. the second shot at seven the second shot at nine please oh please he skirts the bunker by less than a foot he reaches the slope and here she comes she was nice to him just just a couple of patients around the uh not clients but members around of the night to give you a clue as to why they're clapping, I could have been in the bunker at the t at nine, so yeah, it's an easy four, but obviously the drives have to be good and then the perfect distance on your shot. wedge lands on that front plateau. or stay at the plate, more importantly, looking at the main marker in the gap in one, this is directly downwind, all the flags are flying in that direction, so you have regained your rhythm with the driver, that It is very important and could be a problem for the rest of the field. if that happens yeah he just drives down the middle of the fairway here he's definitely kicking himself he didn't win that's way behind Johnson but that's okay on a flat spot I wanted to get more out of the green for television, because Bertie played the first two rounds with Masters champion Fred Couples, who saw a lot of that in his first two rounds.
Fred was very impressed with what he saw amazed by his play on his length of 11 rory despite that bogey on 10, currently tied for fifth place he has been playing. Back in the breeze today and the whole location is where it actually was in 2017 still played that so now you have an idea let's go back to Cameron Smith when you stand on this butt what are you thinking? Well, it's probably right up there on the right. edge and you can't force it, it's the same story, keep it soft, what a three and 33, nine out for Cameron Smith, he's two behind, Johnson's start to the day was four, Dustin Johnson trying to do something that Angel Cabrera did in the 2000. nine winner at augusta had won his first major caprera at oakmont at the us open in 2007 and then followed up with his victory here at augusta a couple of years later dustin's case four years after his major title as they are just outside pittsburgh at oakmont fratelli with the birdie at nine is fourth only mcilroy and thomas tied for fifth at 10. and speaking of 10 to 10 recorded by tigre on the 12th it was the first double digit score on any hole as professional on the tour now on the t in 10.
I give you a great idea of ​​how you can shape it, what you need to do if you want to get to that flatter bottom left side, which starts to get breezy when you see that the umbrella on the from behind has been really docile. Breeze conditions this week it's really no more than five miles an hour so it's a little bit more than that right now it's a nice night yeah here we go for the first time the main marker it's a nice breeze so it's turn to the left in the corner helps nine, 10 and 11, but it will make 14 and 17 really uncomfortable right now, that's the Clifford Roberts Plateau, 165 yards, there really isn't much elevation change from that far back, yeah, just a downhill lie, yeah, just. a bit of one just check the flags who's left on the main scoreboard that wind coming in it's actually a cooler breeze than what we had before yeah awkward angle just lost it in the wind Dustin is better than 50 yards closer, only 111 yards, so the The hole is still a touch of lying downhill, yes, he knows he wants to.
He2013 at the Perth Invitational, but Bobby and his wife were expecting their first child, so Dustin asked Austin to take him that week, they had an extra week to enjoy a little vacation in Thailand and then we'll get to 12 first. rory might have a little vacation after this jim he's still fighting for a big comeback really 75 he's trying to do what johnny miller did in 75 to 10 then there's austin so they're leaving australia for a week on vacation in Thailand and Dustin sells Bobby no. I need to get here, stay home, get out of Austin, take the world golf championship and end up winning.
They've been together since he had a big lead in the last round. Graham Mcdowell and Ian Poulter caught him early. and then Dustin walked away and said he was never going to let these guys hit me in front of my little brother, a little touch on his right elbow to keep him down, he gets too high, he throws it, but that was, yeah, that was . a good try and what you're seeing, they know how much you can break on that green, as we've probably said many times, the green has been a little slower, the guys have memory of the old lines of how high you've got to go. and they're reading too much into it in general this week.
He will be very cautious here and let the answer move forward first. You've seen some knocks for this side of the cup in your time. Nick, he's having a tough day. I haven't seen a mistake all week and there's another one, yes I mean the guy who just blows up everything on his slides, he hasn't helped himself off the tee a few times but he's put a lot of pressure on what has worked well and sometimes you can. I can't expect a miracle all the time. Lucky is not a Formula One driver at this time. This would be the day you wet the wall a couple of times.
It is very safe to be on a golf course. He has four years back. He must be careful. You don't want to see Dustin out of sight and a nice two-parter for him important tee shot for Rory hit a bad one here on Thursday way left I'm just not going to tie again ah, it's too far away again, yeah, It's a mix of two. Isn't it like that for these guys, either it's two in a row or they suffocate it well? At least he chose the three wood. He's just trying to get it out a little bit, not too bad, he can still get the green with a mid iron and a four for Dustin, let's go to 11.
Almost a gap for fratelli. This was the gap Tiger reached last year. That's a big shock. I'm sure someone takes it from the middle of the street. Yes, that breeze is certainly a two-stroke difference between Cameron. Smith and Dustin Johnson only four, three to 11 and 12. Maybe a little control of the score and then draw the end, yes, in the middle, that bunker on the right is good, it is good, obviously, in one less moment if You want a design, yes, nice, that was his. Frank missed this week, doesn't he just drop it and block it? That short game shortcut got him out of trouble, although 4-3 sort of eliminates that on the next two holes through the 16th.
Well, there's the familiar side of Tiger Woods. 16, the unknown side. from all the location on Sunday this is anything but traditional back yeah, I guess Jack will enjoy this if he's oh, he doesn't seem to care about Tiger on this hole, doesn't he? Yes oh Jack will be joining us from 1975. the famous Putty hidden in the hill, yes we were trying to remember the last time we had seen this whole place and the most memorable moment was Jaqen 75. Wonderful new views for everyone us provided here at Augusta National, let's go to 11. Okay. side of the t for Dustin Johnson it will work the confidence is back on the long stick it's just perfect top of the hill clear view didn't have an easy day trying to win that green jacket breeze kick it's not supposed to be easy , frank, not some unproven youngsters like sanjay, I'm just biting at his heels, that's not the first one he said today, he makes getting yards very simple, he stood up, well, Dustin Johnson, he's been paid to his Jews more than once, so close to the walls to play with you.
You can get your child into the game, just go to drivechip.com for more information and follow us on Facebook and Instagram until the play on the 11th hole. Another green fog isn't too bad, but now you have to rely on the putter. An interesting approach. It keeps going wherever the ball goes. She finds. He's only two behind. Could? be the second champion of the Australian Masters all those great players from that country Greg Normans David Graham's Newton was close here, new generation because ian back in 1992 you were so close that year yes, you played in the penultimate group with raymond floyd freddie pairs and craig parry were in the final group so another couple of australians there david graham had a lot of chances especially if you breed them well they finished well at times steve elkington actually struggled at times in april because of the allergies, is a little better at this.
November date, that's a good point, he's taking a good look at the leaderboard, he sings his name up there, Thomas, because Rahm and Dustin Johnson could have left this week with the number one spot in the world racking up wins and now in the best moment of his career. seven adrift of that man, hey, frank, you feel these duck gusts coming down, crazy, you feel that definitely not, yeah, it's, it's, it's pretty substantial here on the top of the hill, yeah, they've had the blowers down here at 13 Green too guys, you know, keeping the pine needles and leaves at bay, so to speak, the problem is it's coming from the southwest, which means those big trees behind 11 and 12 actually They are blocking it and that is why we are getting some. one of those crazy flags that seem to be waving in a different direction at that moment, that's where the wind is, yeah, it comes down, 13 turns, hits the trees on the back of the tee and comes down to the green and that's why who is famous fratelli for a birdie houdini another rookie excuse this second to 16. well, Tiger Woods made an easy task of 16 this time after the disaster at 10 to 12 with the men at 13, 15 and 16. and we will move on to 11. get another even share for Smith so far he's got the touch that board just 40 yards from where he is this one will turn left early could straighten out the last foot job got a little tougher so that pad will extend to three for Johnson in the middle of the fairway, but holes like 12 13 15 16, of course, with a full location on the top right, so there are many holes with possible two-shot swings.
Thomas, for his part, remains at 10 under, so tight alongside Rory Mcroy down to 13. Well, this is where Rory showed up. He's got about 220 to the back flag if he can fly up there, just a little bit to the left and he said that's what he did for Eagle. He's had six, five, six on this hole this week if he'd just had it. a pair of fours would be there back to the 11. answer, he's way back frankie 256. it's no fun trying to play a really short runner right at the flag to get a good start, that's narrow there, so six to seven paces of the pond. no Dustin, this is a five iron in your hand, this plays less, not a club and a half, I think it just eliminates the wind, it should play pretty close to your real number 224, it wasn't going to go left and that's really uncomfortable. went completely high, jumped on that swing really for a guy who knows he has that natural cut now for talia 12. good enough johnny that's enough it's a good shot the flag is now weakening and the breeze is still up there , it's hard to judge.
Now back at eleven sun, I'm three yards closer than Dustin, it has to be the right distance otherwise it's a good place to make a putt from an unusual man who normally fights, Frank, I promise you it was a mistake, I would like to think very carefully. one, although it could run up to nine, finish the rounds for shambo and bernhard, bryson longer, wow, it took every inch, didn't it? 13. only 200 yards for brooks, he could have been there in the mix too, if not for a bad start on thursday. delicious shot that went out for eagle brooks kept 10 back to 12. fratelli's ball would be a good line i don't care who it is today cameron smith included three quarters slide it down and hope a good shot stays there out of the chance to come back to 15 under nine and here is Bernhard Lunger at 63 years old, the oldest to make the cut in the Masters tournament and he has a one-stroke lead over Shambo going into this final hole.
Are you going to debate it in Match Play? Yeah, he's averaged 250 yards off the Bernhard Tee today and he's one down in the round he's going to beat all these guys. What a performance requires is commitment, determination, I mean, it's out of the ordinary. Trevor and I were having breakfast with Bernhard early Tuesday morning, around 7:30. By the time we were nine holes around the golf course, Bernard had gone to the gym, the driving range and was still on the green, he hadn't even started his day three hours later, so it gives you an idea from the beginning. beginning of the week, his commitment every day, he will finish three less, he hits it hard for thirty-first and how about it, I mean it is the conclusion of a tremendous performance, he broke the mark that had previously belonged to tommy aaron, he has a month. one month and one day older, georgia native, tommy aaron, good man, he had that record for quite a while, bernard will probably break his own mark next year, possibly the only man who can, it will be a long time before anyone can , uh, all these guys will be retired for 39 anyway, back to 11. and crazy, you'd rather be six feet from here than six feet away, right, this part of the green is a lot steeper than I think shown on television, is not as bad as it could have been.
Dustin, as far as the ankle goes, if he had been a little closer to the bunker, he would have had a lot more play off that little shoulder coming into the green, but this is an area where players have been walking all week, probably eight out of ten. for that, but there is just a hint of break from right to left from that direction, you didn't have to be taken into consideration even for putts at this point, yesterday was a wobble clinic for Dustin Johnson, but now because of the conditions that have. Trusting in this short game I think there is a little bit of nerves and there are a lot of conditions and that makes you restless, well I know you seem unfazed Dottie, but there have to be points in the round where you see conditions like this or the scoreboard , think?
Because I? Why does it always reach 13? Let's see if Rory can make amends for his two bogeys here earlier this week with an eagle. Look back and see how he has played these par fives on the second. nine back at twelve smith for birdie now rory tapped on 13. smith will tap here on 12. now sanjay for a birdie chance on 11. this crash right at the end very poor first half 17 seconds for tiger what a different scene for him this year compared to the last time he came up this hole with a two shot lead and another great shot.
If you take that seven out of ten at twelfth and it would be in the top 10, give or take, what? a comeback after that at 12 again fratelli to get to 12 under par at 13. well he started his recovery on thursday with an eagle at 15 to get to shoot 70 in the first round and another miss on the high side for brooks just one birdie so birdie for rory birdie for brooks here on 13. rory on 11 under his fourth tied brooks on seventh and thomas hits it comfortably there on 12. two backs here today two t stops so We'll go one more time tonight and Bryson will par for 73.
He had another triple on the card today, his second of the week looks like it was a double, but it's a 100 part finish, some of the notable ones in the standings, in Actually, a 200 part finish for Bryson again, that's one higher than who he's playing with. with frank, what do you think bryson takes away from the week? A lot of frustration, jim, I think the strategy was good, but also the attention he is now receiving. Talked to Tiger Woods about that, just build them big enough. Yes, the punch comes out. Because of that good start to the second nine four four, Abramson did not get up or down from the front, so he fell to seven under par and remained at 13 under four, so it all comes down to this, the number one player in the world, three shots. lead trying to win the Masters for the first time here we are 12 only 158 yards decision time time for a new ball dad yes, he will have marked it with the guide line that he likes to putt and they told him this is an eight iron and at the beginning of week, Frank said he was going to hit this shot in the middle of the green no questions asked no questions 153 if you're going to do it on the flag to cover it it would be a little bit less over that center bunker, that's the important thing, you have to take that decision, if you go left choose that distance, you can't change your mind in the middle of your swing, it's a little more aggressive than the center, that's a great shot launch right there had to be right of way, Yeah, that was pretty much stand up and carry on.fast forward, bit of truth, Sherman, what could I say that wasn't the intended line, so he's a type 10, he's dry, he can just stay dry coming in, it was a good game, a little fly over him.
I can tell you that I planned controlled flight 29, okay, everything will have gone into his club selection. This is also an 8 iron, I mean he's a lateral, he almost could. Aim for Dustin's golf ball if he bleeds well take it it's much higher than Dustin's he didn't slide it down. The 12th is a tempting temp today at the 14th. Rory followed up that 75 with a 66 and a 67 and has to be thinking what could have been 17 threes in a row for the tiger four in the last five holes after the ten boy, that commitment, you just left it behind and look at that card, my God, it would be 700 with a par 12.
Now it's really important. tee shot here i have been saying it all week 3 wood for many longer hitters can turn the corner with 3 wood very well done by justin thomas they moved the tee a little more to the left side which makes it difficult to go over all the trees, you gotta go around them now, fratelli has the length to get here and he just hit a short iron that flew into the trees and came out on the second cut, no damage though, yeah, good play here for cameron smith, just a three wood with a little tie like birdie did every day, sit down, sit down, a foot too far, crossing hogan bridge there on the 12th is our last group and you come across nelson bridge in the distance as you walk along the 13th, how beautiful. part of the course let's check in with amanda balionis thank you I'm here with bryson deshambo and bryson it certainly wasn't boring this week from the expectations leading up to thursday to the lost ball and not feeling good how can you start analyzing this week ?
You know, I don't know if I'm going to think about it too much this week. Unfortunately, some weird things happened to me this week that I just couldn't foresee and that's golf sometimes and you know, at the end of the day, okay, you know, I'm going to come home and relax, take some time off and I'm trying to get stronger, but I have to fix, you know, this dizziness or whatever is going on, so there are numerous times today, I mean, I beat myself up. an eight shot that I have never done or 16 that I have never done before and nine, I took another shot and I shot an eight shot, it was really very strange for me, so first I have to recover and the most important and good thing is that my Body feels great apart from my head, so I have to figure it out and I'll be fine from there.
This course can do that to you, but Tiger told me earlier in the week that he hasn't. I've seen someone get so much attention before a tournament from him to you saying he's talked to you about this kind of stuff, how you handle it and how different it feels and how you move forward, how you handle it, yeah, I think so. I just have to look at it as you can only do what you can do and Tiger was kind to help me and just tell you to keep doing what you're doing and don't worry about anything else and you know that's what I've done.
This week and again I was a dog in the field and obviously a lot of people hit me and it's unfortunate, but I'll come home and think about it and try to adapt and continue to get stronger and focused where I can. control that's really the only thing that matters thanks for the time let's take it to 12. thanks amanda I feel a good bunker shot from sanjay m yes bryson now has a target on his back as one of the best players in the game knows world, Dustin Johnson. how to deal with that because he is the best player in the world, he has had that spot for several weeks, the only thing he really has left to improve his resume is to win major titles up to 13. just a foot too far for cameron smith, he is going to leave the right because the group in front is still putting as well as him with the wedges, it is a very wise decision.
Remember in 2007 zach johnson putts on all 16 par 5s and played them 11 under par in his win its a great sight there at amen frank corner its certainly ian when you walk over the ben hogan bridge or hogan bridge i think You remember when you put your head down that kind of hard work, perseverance pays off to get you off the ground was always your mantra, you also had a couple other things, you know, Dottie, don't be afraid to hit it from 30 feet away flag and let your putter shine even though he was one of the best ball strikers the game has ever seen, that's exactly the right thing to do and there are so many times on this golf course that that's what you have to do. forcing yourself to do even though you feel like you can go get flags, be very disciplined and that was Hogan on this play.
He has become more disciplined over the years, he has certainly learned when to back off, I think so, I think so. He became a very intelligent, very mature player and when he realized that he would be better with a little cut and being a good wedge player was when the wind began to build up to a large extent, currently 17 under par, that is, one within the record of 18 under par. kept by speed and words at 13. well, he's got wood coming in here, but he's holding on, that ball is way over his feet, 215 yards right there, oh, that leaves a nasty little chip back to Dustin three legs to start the second nine, yes, he knows it. exactly where he is at 15. tommy Fleetwood 150 at 14 one of the best iron players out there and look at that, he almost held it on the fly 13.
Dylan Fratelli is so far away that he only 194 blew it into the trees around 3 20. coming out of that second cut and just hanging on so a couple of birdie putts for fratelli to get to 12 under these guys are still at it they make three on 15 as we go up the hill on 14. 136 left Look at that flag whipping the breeze that blows at 18. And here is the tiger and its last hole. Yes, please look at the flagpole or flagpole. I mean, he's been hitting it up here and it amazes me that a thousand yards away it's nothing like what he's been like. at the top of the hill for the last 10 minutes 14. and rory has been moving up the leaderboard and is well placed and is going to come down and settle close to kepca and will have a great look to get to four under par. for the final round of it if we go back to 18.
Can you imagine what this walk would have been like in any other year without sponsors or fans this year? Tiger walking as the defending champion. This is a cold reminder of the differences between Year to Year this year, but having said that, nick, yeah and all the things that are different, it's still wonderful to see the Masters and the second nine on Sunday and the tour He has done a great job. The Masters committee did a great job. to put it on stage it takes so much planning to keep us all safe and it still has a master atmosphere, you still feel your heart and your guts, that's what it was like 19 months ago, one of the best scenes ever seen in any sport, you said which was the best moment in the history of our game, Nick, well, it's definitely here, I mean, definitely here, we'll never see another scene like that again and we're lucky, Jim. happened last year if it happened this year if tiger when he turned 15 this would have been our silence we would have been criticized for it at 12. big fist raised up and down for him he's still at it eagles available 13 and 15 .and 13 is where we go and Cameron Smith plays his third after hitting a pitch, look for this a little long, a little left, I don't want to mess with the short or the right, maybe try to swing it back, but nope. did.
Getting the spin depends a lot on the lie there, on those 40 50 yard shots, he still has a chance to make birdie, this guy, even though he birdied the 13th hole in the final round the last four years, b and that's absolutely blistering to downwind, perfect, three woods that I knew exactly. what he was doing, the ball went in there in the back, he only had a mid-iron left for his second now, is he too far down that line? Yes, a lot depends on the lie, but it looks like he has a bit of a gap on 14. and a moment ago, kepca for birdie turns about three feet to 13. left of the green, justin thomas on the downslope, we'll need to pitch This is 10 feet or so towards the green and it's very quick down the hill from there. the contact on this slope lost traction a little late in yesterday's round or it would be there a little closer to Johnson as well.
He's had a wonderful year seemingly in the top five every time he plays three wins, three seconds to eighteen. tiger finishing yeah poor birdie just thinking imagine how cruel a target that would have been when it's 15th because all players are only allowed to pass one badge to their teammates so how about that hey birdies I wanted get four out of five from the last six when they wear red to match their jersey, but we wouldn't have had any celebration if it had been a year later, here's Rory at 14 for the best round in the field, currently puts him at Four under par, so it seems. as a par for rory at 14, 84 dominates this unique november at augusta, is dusted by three, safely handles tommy fleetwood trying to reward that brilliant approach and ties again for the day eight under 13 overall. mcelroy and kepca both took advantage fall back at 14. this is fratelli for eagle and it's on its way.
You very rarely see putts from there come up short on that slope, but all day today Phil had won so close that I've seen 20 putts from there on that front. corner, so Dylan will have that left for the birdie to reach 12 under par, which would be fourth place, Justin and the same would reach 12 under par and Cameron Smith if he could make the birdie here reach 15 under par , Dustin and Austin back on the street watching. not too far to go just a mid-iron, probably less distance to the flag here than he had for his second in 11.
The problem on this second shot, however, is that that bank is a pretty steep slope, a good slope of 10 down that you mentioned before, Jimmy, that his father. dez involved him in the game when he was just a youngster of about three years old. He then beat his father in a team, a golf club, in the club championship when he was still a young man, he won the Australian junior championship in 2012, he trained as an amateur. in 13 and he hasn't really looked back on Hawaii at the beginning of this season, this breaks substantially to the right as he dies, well, we've seen that movie so many times before, haven't we in 13? good putt, but as an aside, he birdied the other three days, he's headed to 14, 14 under, if Dustin can make a good shot here and make birdie, he'll take that four shot lead again, he's going to make a layup if he spent a long time.
As I looked around that golf ball, I think there was some organic matter on the bottom that would have made it too unpredictable. Yes, I agree, Dad, we saw the ball land, it landed, it jumped, and it stopped. There was definitely some mud on it and it was You know, it was a wise decision, we've seen it all week, so much humidity, wet conditions from that Thursday morning rain, same thing again, you almost have to overcome those putts and say, okay, I'm going to give it two inches more than I really want it to break that bad there it was just a coincidence that Dustin made the layup after later seeing that Cameron Smith had missed his closest pursuer, well, yeah , and I also think Jim just out of courtesy waited until he hit the putt before hitting it, so it could go both ways.
Good point just looking at the ball and what was on it and I could say, yes if you want to take a chance, yes even if the mud on the left side of the ball with the creek. the right thing yeah it's not worth it I agree throw it low and hopefully the mud comes off yeah you have a three stroke lead and like Jim said he saw Smith didn't make Verdi one more time look how quickly that veers to the right. a lot of players who were now using those lined balls, Dustin opted for a ball with a jagged line, instead it improved his putting a lot, gave him that last bit of confidence in really clear thinking and he started experimenting with it, actually , in June for Dr.
Craig Farnsworth. up on 15. just now rory mcilroy trying to slide one in on the right side eli doesn't look too bad, but he'll have to deal with a little problem with the tree on the 17. ct panel. He's had a fantastic week, this is three in a row today and it's unlikely if it comes out yes, so pan moves to 10 under par, that's in seventh place, Chinese Taipei, part of the international president's cup team last year at royal melbourne, back in the great melbourne sand belt, it's a great view back from the green here, so 38 yards behind the flag is my position, so i've been photographing the players as they go.
They rose all week in fall colors, so different from what we are used to seeing in April. every year 91 yards for he couldn't get a better angle again agreed slightly still on that slight slope isn't it still alittle from right to left? Yes it is, it will get here, it's good, it may not have been very happy. as that ball was flying through the air but has returned to a reasonable position, Bobby Brown in the bag there with him used to be in the bag for Dustin Johnson now Johnson used a six iron to put a ball in trying to eventually get the mud off the ball and this will do the same thing, it just doesn't go there.
He was a very confident third party. It was a very disciplined third, so both he and Johnson have a chance to make birdie there, but they were very. cautious just across the tributaries from the 14th tee and cam smith will like that was well done he's three behind Dustin Johnson our leader playing the 13th three stroke lead at 17 under par that's huge Dottie Dustin will see we're back in Mcelroy's set number 15, it's begging you to be careful, oh and that just rolled into the penalty area, that's why it's so important to get out of the fairway here on number 15, it's so hard to judge the distance coming out of the second cut. at nine just moments ago andy ogletree 2019 US amateur champion finishing, he will win the low amateur title and with it the opportunity to be honored in the butler's cabin during the green jacket ceremony, even par 72 today pride from union mississippi and how about Moving down to the two that dueled for the amateur title at Pinehurst about 15 months ago, let's go to Amanda, thanks Jim, here with Tiger Woods Tiger, a second nine like we've never seen from you, starting with that 10 on the 12th, but then you make birdie.
Five of your last six, take me, were going through your mind on the 12th hole and how tough you had to be mentally to finish the way you did well. I committed myself to the wrong wind. You know the wind wasn't right for the first one. two guys and then as I got closer it changed to howling left, which on the eleven flag it was howling left and I didn't engage with the wind and I also went ahead and pushed it. Also because I thought the wind was more from the right and more from the left and that just started the problems from there and then from there I made a lot more shots and had a lot more experiences there at Race Creek and then he said, you know, this doesn't look like to no other sport where you're so alone and you have to figure out how to fight, no one is going to get you, you know, out of the slump and you just have to figure it out.
I went out and uh, I came in. You said conditions are getting more difficult. The winds are coming from all sides as our leaders begin to descend on this stretch. What do you think we can expect to see in terms of the most challenging locations? It depends on the moment. You just have to time it, you have to commit and time it in the right wind and hopefully you know the guys that you know, they'll talk to their caddies and try to control it because that's how it is. It just starts, you know, it's coming now and it's all over the place and it's going to be a challenge for the guys, back there, see you soon, thanks Tiger, let's take it to 13.
Thanks Amanda. The last world number one to win was Tiger at O2. Can Dustin Johnson do it today? Maybe it's Tiger putting the green jacket on Dustin Johnson, who finished second to him last year. That will certainly help. I had a little help from Greg. Norman was recently in Jupiter, Florida with his putt and said he kept him from clearing those putts left and right, so he could have been a big help right there. I think he has his hands a little higher and that will help you bet well. He certainly has putt well since his return.
He's really practiced a lot during that time off in May and April. May June. I think Dottie saw Abraham answer the putt before she had actually helped him. A huge help. I agree that that was a lot of what happened to him. Yesterday too, he somehow managed to get to places where he had read about his other guys that he was playing with and they made good putts. He guessed better, take advantage of that now this young man obviously has a good chance to win still with five. The remaining holes touch this one for birdie and he makes two nice birdies there for him and Johnson, but he could become the third-youngest to finish in the top five here as a rookie.
Jordan Spieth and Tiger Woods were 21 and 22, but they could be even better, now I could take another ball after a birdie, that other ball has done its job, let's go to 14. cam smith is struggling it's been a beautiful thing this week, but You have to take advantage of this accessible hole location by starting to run out of opportunities and that will give you a good view of the birdie before the 15th. and mcelroy has taken the penalty to make it his fourth on the way and that remains on that plateau in the back corner, so it's a very good shot.
He will have to save part of it every time he reaches the master. So much pressure and expectations on him trying to win the Grand Slam of his career until the 14th. Back at the t, our leader tries to start that ball right on the second cut. and drop it bill he's back to a four shot lead right where he started the day it's that beautiful right to left wind he's loving right now just cut it off for safety and that drive was perfect yeah I make that 15 is a complicated drive. but then 17 will be an easier drive for some GMs, they can hardly make fairways thin enough for this young man.
It's really remarkable, he's been very precise and he's back at 14, coming back from the corner. Amen towards the last one, it's the end. The 84 Masters round now closes with a birdie, yes, the tears flowed. Green jacket number three from 2010 for Phil, who plays across course four for the tournament and rounds of 69. and 70. looked promising going into the third round, but 79 came away disappointed with his putting all week when we get to chamber 14 to go back to three oh, he really thought he was going to move okay just a little bit more, this was a moment ago.
Dylan Fratelli playing in his second Masters and has had an incredible week and that puts him in the red for this final round 12 under par currently only in the fourth Smith's 14th, remains two under par for his final round 15. and Brooks followed forward. here at 15 at 15 for birdie and he had a great time on the 15th this week two eagles and two birdies here while we send it to amanda here with andy ogletree the low am for the

2020

Masters first, do you? how does that sound? a title that not many realize, yeah, it sounds incredible, there are so many great fans here, I'm here with six other guys or five other guys and they all deserve it, they've all won a great tournament to get here and be a little bit.
Super special amateur and something I will never forget there is a lot of tradition when you come here as an amateur staying in the crow's nest the amateur dinner I know our Trevor Immelmann talked to you and then of course playing with the reigning champion What are some of the moments that they will really remember you all your life? Yeah, you know, going to the amateur dinner was amazing, being with some members and important people in the game of golf and hearing everyone's stories about past tournaments. and everything is super cool, I actually stayed at the crow's nest right after that so I had the full amateur experience, I didn't sleep much Wednesday night and I was walking to the first tee Thursday morning and Tiger He hugged me and started laughing. and he said, "Let's do this, buddy," and I said, "Okay, let's do it," so it was awesome, awesome, well done, see you at the butler's cabin.
Let's take it to 14. Amanda, thank you for so many great memories. for these young players, these fans around the world are not some kind of microcosm for the week for justin thomas part 14, let's go to 15. and mcroy, trying to save energy after hitting him from behind into the water, makes a good putt, but not being here at the 84th Masters for Mcelroy, he will be counting the days until April and next year's Masters is now back at the top of the hill at the t fratelli, we are going to be suffering while they play this hole mainly off the left and he's gained a lot of distance over the last few months, let's see if we can hit that one here and he'll be trying to find the best way to make a basket from there, no chance to go for the green. 14.
Dustin and Sung J m in the middle of the fairway both first to play with a victory with the 9 iron straight from here I have to keep this ball in the air 140 construction to get it to the upper level very high, but not as close as He would have wanted a big push from Dustin, scoring record in his sights, held by Tiger and Jordan, it's a sand wedge in the way, what an effort it's close, let's go to 16. and Rory Mcilroy with an 8 iron, oh, something caused him. to smile, i'm sure it wasn't the tee shot back to the 15th. and cameron smith was left behind.
Can I do something special on the par 5? Man, that's a good start with a great jersey for the young Aussie. An exciting finish, this will be day 84. Masters Johnson leads by four. Abraham's response on the 14th failed to clear the ridge line of that false front and he returned to the fairway, so he continued to fight with his third shot on the way. the team is mainly Bill and that put a lot of pressure on his long game and then finally his putter shoulders sagged a little bit playing in his first Masters. Son Jm too, do you think this group has helped Dustin Dottie?
Well, there has been a little. I would do it. Let's say, a comfortable chat sometimes, but there's no big personality here, everything is moving forward and I think that helps Dustin, maybe some nerves here on Sunday with those ghosts at four and five, but it's very hard to tell with Dustin . I think there was some nerves and you saw some putts that came out a little weaker than we've seen all week and that's natural if you have some pressure, the tension creates that kind of weak butt, but he overcame it. I think what happened. at six it was big, doing those two years, yeah, that's what I was going to say, when you make some mistakes here, you start looking at all the obstacles and when you're playing well, you still see the obstacles, you'll say there's a bunker. left or a drop to the right, that's fine, but I know how to deal with it when you suddenly go off the rails for a moment and start looking at the oh my God, don't go there, don't go there and I agree that six The hole I call it my barometer of how much courage you can get up and hit that back plate and he did better than that, making a two and currently leading by four which would tie the largest margin of victory since 2000, which was Jordan one.
From wire to wire in 2015. You know, I think if he comes back and wins, he'll look back at the pair too. He got to seven and hit a good tee shot that only missed the fairway by a foot and a half. two feet and I had to work really hard to keep the momentum going from six oh there's a quick one there oh my gosh it gives you an idea how fast it is from there and dad remember Dustin had a two putt for par earlier in week. from the other side of this green and to go the full width of the green, it was 290 feet on the 11th and 14th, which he managed to split into two parts if you mark it back even down to the shot he hit here.
Bill to set that up, he didn't really have much on the left side and he created something to give himself that 90 footer that never looked like a four after that except when he hit the hole, yeah, it's those little ones, it's a little bit. thanks to those little threads that create the fabric of a first green jacket, this one will also be super fast heading towards the creek, the entire property slopes that way, you've been very attentive to your putts here while examining the angles from all the angles, come on. to 16. mcelroy up the ridge hmm a little too aggressive to 14. this would move the lead to five there was a gust of wind and I think Dustin distracted someone comes back resets his routine there it is the lead is five with four to play and consecutive birdies for Dustin, who seems to have a lot of control over his emotions, his game and everything necessary for a first masters, he made the par i there on the 11th and then, recently, on the 13th, a birdie and then, after a perfect drive. on 14 to this backhoe location he delivers it and then tops it off with this for birdie five shot lead heading into car five fifteenth world number one Dustin Johnson oh so close to 15. this was just a moment ago john rom for eagle here on the 15th And there you have a little punch, still fighting a nice little race there with three under on the last three holes now back on top of the hill Cameron Smith made an eagle here in the second round needs one now oh oh no, me.
I think he ended up left of the Sarason Bridge on the second cut. This is actually what I just referenced. This was on the difficult hole location from the second round in the back left corner, but not for Cameron Smith. What a golf shot that was. Nri Smile and a beautiful eagle now, thomas, of all the players who go for the green in two, here only 30 percent have made it, oh, and a great shot from the main champion, he will keep it for the eagle, now back at the tournament leader t, breeze back at the players trevor double cross here crazy, well I might force him to make a layup, we've seen it before, stay tuned to the 84th masters tournament anywhere, anytime, visit masters.com, download the official appteachers and subscribe to the official pastor's newsletter for 16, but as Jim said a while ago that you will have to wait four and a half five months until April 15 and sang Jm.
That has to get boring sometimes. It should be fun. It's so good. It will be in a perfect position in that free view on the right side. Down the valley now for Telly's third here at 15 after the poor T shot brought him back into position, but with the wind swirling, it's a very difficult third, very well played there by Fratelli Dustin Johnson. Four holes to play a five-shot lead. We are back. here at augusta national and the 15 green cameron smith after a second per second on the left he's walking up near the flagpole to see exactly what's ahead it's actually not that bad of a mistake there normally there would be a huge stand viewing for customers, but not this year, so it has a pretty good angle going up the final group of the green, working its way down the fairway to where its tee shots ended.
Well, this has an upward slope to work against Trevor. Yes, in fact I think coming out of the second cut. It will also help you because it will take away some of the spin and it will be a little bit easier for that ball to get up that ridge and get to the plateau where all the well-played placement is. Fairly good. Let him hold on. hill from there, so a pretty good break after a bad second, can he make good use of it? If these players think Dustin is going to win, there is always a second place to play, which is very important.
Well, Cameron Smith's best performances in the majors had a fifth year in 2018 and fourth at the US Open as well, so this great experience is that he is betting here and backing on the street Dustin Johnson trying to get a green jacket, win a green jacket and get his second major, yeah, how did that feel, Trevor, why? to why here in the masters something surreal must be honest, yes, I had a good start on Thursday and luckily I never looked back, how were you able to maintain the same intensity a week that you would like to turn on and off?
Could you? Could you continue? That same kind of mode turned it on and off. I had family staying with me so we were able to spend a good time at that rental house every night and it was actually a rain delay after the third one or before. round, so we finished very late on Saturday, so when I got back home I was absolutely exhausted, I fell asleep pretty quickly while Fratelli was going up the hill for birdie. This is a big week for Dylan and he better finish a big draw. for 31st place at the pga championship in 2018, this week's top 12 and ties will return to the masters next april, so a fantastic performance for him here cameron smith has relied on this putter all week in the fairway Dustin Johnson walked west so just a layup for Dustin and he'll have that tough third shot now Smith for birdie oh he pauses it right in the heart What if Gene Sarason was looking at that one over the bridge makes the 10 shot feet?
That's scandalous, isn't it? He's so lucky, God, I've got almost 60 yards left in serious trouble and now it's up and down, Thomas, after that fantastic second trying to make an eagle, there's only been two eagles here so far in the final round and there's another one, so that justin Thomas hits 13. under and some glass that augusta national sends players for any eagle or hole in one or when we have a hole in one contest in the par 3 contest and low scores for each. day a beautiful touch now answers again on the fairway 257 trevor i love the way he flies these fairway woods such a good sweeping motion and then just goes in there not bad you'll have a lot of green to work with but it's been a Fue A tough day for Abraham, but he will learn a lot about himself and his game will put him to good use in the future, now at five yards closer.
Lynn seems to have relaxed quite a bit right now, getting back to the players here on the green, yeah, it's just not hitting them right in the face like it was just a few minutes ago, oh that needs to calm down, calm down, very lucky there and that's what It happens when you're between the clubs here on the 15th hole, it just flies. the back bounces hard on 16. john rahm for birdie and john goes double digits under par to 17 rory for birdie here can be aggressive uphill best score is a fourth here over the years. I love completing that grand slam this is his it was his sixth attempt now here on Dustin Johnson's third attempt well Austin did a good job walking to that intersection to find out what the maximum yardage was there they left his brother with a Perfect little sand wedge, oh, and that's it. a fantastic shot under all that pressure from the turning wind, beautiful distance control from the world number one and he looks rock solid at over 16. justin thomas birdies in rounds two and three had a hole in one here ago a year, but this time away from this unknown non-traditional Sunday hole location, well this was a year ago, aces are not uncommon here at 4pm on Sundays and we have seen plenty of them, 22 in total, phil mickelson and john rom helping celebrate justin thomas who was eagle number 22. by far more than any other par 3 on the course here is cameron smith stay there he asked him to stay there and he obeyed and the other fan did the court.
John Ogenstein finished well, showing up for the Vanderbilt man who is like Ogletree and has been a member of the United States Walker Cup winning team under captain nathaniel crosby when we go back to the 16th and the television said get there , please, and this ball disobeyed the answer 15 with its third year from the bunker coming downhill and downwind so fast that it has been judged wonderfully. It was a difficult day for Abe plus five in this final round, but in the first master's he will be back. Excellent look what I'm facing now. A steep slope where he has to stun this ball is very difficult to achieve within 10 feet. you have to be steady enough to get up the slope and then have enough control to stop before it goes down into the water on the other side and as a result we see a lot of players coming up short of the green from down here. dottie and then you toss him a little bit in transition here too and he gets a little bit just unpredictable it's just a hard shot well we've been talking about his great touch around the greens all week but this is going to take something special if arrives a little too hot trevor that wind is downwind and will push the ball just go a little oh this is amazing brilliant what a great shot from the young man from South Korea only 22 years old that shows no nerve beautifully executed and I think it is very important there for him to get his ball inside Johnson even though he is five behind, just keep the pressure until the end.
Dustin actually walked next to me when the ball was in the air and said, "That's cool, yeah, don't you see too." many players up and down from close to the pond at 16 over 16. and the penultimate group of smith vertelli and thomas now dylan by up to fifteen and dustin johnson lining up his birdie attempt, this would take him to the record score of 20 under par. Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth share -18, that's the number we pick if he did everything right today, wasn't it Trevor? Well he's done an amazing job after the rough start, just hanging in there, not panicking, I actually looked at a statistic.
In the morning, he hasn't broken par in the final round of a tournament in nearly nine months. Nick, wow, that gives you that kind of thing that gives you that confidence that you know what you're doing, you know how. Doing so also puts enormous pressure on the people who might be closest to you because they know they have to play perfect, absolutely fantastic golf, so hit that poor placed t-shot and what a birdie, that's three in one. leader of five shots in a row as he walks to the 16th tee, that's impressive. I think I can start looking for the green jacket closet, the green jacket closet right now.
He has very long arms, so he sends that message to the clubhouse. 16 cameron smith, you know? two feet left and we go back to 15. and the answer is one to four that was the club that was the thorn in his side today the putter didn't throw for him here in the final round now a jm was about five feet away down the hill here for his birdie Cameron Smith tapped in on 16. Gotta be a little careful with this putt, quite a break from his left. Oh, well done, that's a stellar see-saw there on the 16th, so it's a birdie for him too.
Before it was justin thomas for his birdie, well done now for tele, this is for par, oh yeah, so hit a shot and tie again at 11 under with the resurgent rory mcilroy, who returned from that desperately unfortunate start of 75. johnson with a five stroke lead over cameron smith and sang j m in the t at 16. yeah, donnie and vern oh look, that really works for him, well, he's not so good now, but human, you know you've I have been with him every step of the way. In this final round, I have also been struck by the discipline he has shown, especially on the back nine.
I agree it's 18. That's Capka, a pretty stellar group coming in at 18. Brooks is turning things around and doing very well. Rory hit a drive just around the corner. Let's go back to 16. And some fern from the same club, he has put pressure on his short game, but he has certainly delivered, this will be full of pressure, let's go to 18. Yes, some tee shot here from mcilroy kepca should be familiar with the putt he is making. to face, yeah, he had it last year in the final round to try to put a little more pressure on Tiger, he missed it a lot to the left, let's go back to 17.
Well, it's only 5:11 a.m. in the morning in Brisbane, Australia, but I can tell. Almost all golf fans will be watching Cameron Smith's breakfast at the Masters, it is a tradition unlike any other gym in Australia and they will be watching this young man with great interest. He's five back, though Dustin Johnson, who is strutting his way to 16th, so the return to the final stages of the tournament was delayed by seven months due to Covid concerns with the tournament leader, someone who actually tested positive for the virus. Cove on October 11th and was quarantined for 11 days in Las Vegas and didn't return to practice until November 2nd and Rory betrayed there with that birdie putt nods a little and grunts, I think I could hear the growl from here from him, he buzzed it through again, you know one of those old Augusta sayings, you can't win the tournament. on Thursday, but you can lose it, I think that applies here, yeah, I'm just guessing with the strategy he had, like I mentioned before, maybe he forced it on day one, he just wants to do everything perfectly and then he said, "to hell with that".
I'm just going to go play this year, it turns out Brooks misses on the right side, so that's the sixth attempt at completing the Slam here at Augusta for Mcilroy. It will be another top 10 for him. He is tied for fifth place, in fact, he was last. five years fifth seventh fourteenth and fifth been at it, but there's too much ground to cover after that poor start this year, let's get back to 16. Well, again, it was a splendid touch, it's impressive now, under Dustin Johnson, What we see? here, dottie, well we're starting to see a little excitement from Dustin for the first time, but this is a putt with about three and a half feet of elevation change, he's super slow in the middle, I don't.
I don't think I've had a putt like this in quite a while, I don't remember, or one that requires so much stroke, yeah, maybe not from the 8th hole mm-hmm, well, you're lucky to have some sort of flag up. because If you pass the flag and then place it on the top plate and do it wrong, you can make a real mess, so at worst he should be able to place it inside the three foot circle. Well, that's worthy of a champion, yeah, now it'll feel pretty good once you get over the water at 16. I mean, in theory, obviously there are some trees around, but with five shots you should feel it worse.
He can get to 18. in the worst case, with a shot of three if cam made birdie and he was the bogeyman and the last member of this group, well, let's go to 17. up in the second cut, just a couple of steps throughout location, back right, only 155 with the wind. behind it just depends if he misses the trees there we see him in the center of the green he didn't want to miss, right, it's not that bad, can you two putt that to stay at 15 under five behind Dustin Johnson, although he really needed a birdie to really apply any Pressure now for the TV.
Can you make up for that brief mistake at 16? Oh, no, you don't want to go there too long. It will be difficult. Justin Thomas also has some work to do there at 5pm. I'll be right back to watch the series. Dustin Johnson's coronation here at the Masters for live scoring news and more, visit masters.com. We are on the verge of seeing a Masters tournament score record of 72 holes, 270, 18 par, the record long first set by Tiger at 97, equaled by Jordan in 2015. Dustin is two shots betterin that uphill lie. A lot of work today for this kid, yes, I'm a little incredulous at how he managed to fail.
That couple of shorts that just create a little bit of uncertainty in his mind, but he fights hard and wait until he plays his golf course, when he's hard as a rock, will be a good outside name to pick. This is a pretty standard nine iron for Sun Jm, perhaps another one to keep an eye on as the years go by. Oh yeah, he does too many things right not to compete and he stays awake, you know, Dad, with all the talk about the drivers. A player like him, who naturally fades away, should perhaps continue on the occasional golf course.
He has two drivers, one who knows he can tie without doing anything different. Oh, take your time, Dustin, would you mind not hitting the ball while I'm talking? Please, he tries to win. the teacher, is in a hurry to put on a new piece of clothing, two putts for 20 under par in

2020

. You get to a point like this and you start to think about the fingerprints that are at a time like this, his father Scott drove from the south. carolina today to see her kids and then come back and have a viewing party her father has a former golf pro her mother candy is here her maternal grandparents are here including her grandfather art who was a fantastic basketball player in carolina del south in the school hall fame he has of course paulina and the boys here tatum and river and there are paulina wayne and janet their parents are here although they can, because of the access, many are back at the house where everyone is Looking forward to a celebration tonight, well, you know Jim, we'll make fun of that tone of voice and expression on his face, but he'll have the last laugh, won't he still?
Because he really has an enviable golf mind. You know, he experiences things, analyzes them and deals with them. with that and then forgets them, you know, that's a really good philosophy in life instead of carrying things from the past on your shoulders all the time, hey, Bubba, he came to watch and welcome to the club, for a second alone. I'll need that to tie up Smith. I'll talk about fingerprints. They got the second and third generation of the Hermann family. They have been so vital to Dustin's development. You see him on the left, just to the right of Bubba is Claude Harmon III, whose grandfather.
Claude won the green jacket in 1948, as he was still serving as the head golf professional at Wingfoot and, of course, Claude, the champion here. That of his son Butch, who would be Claude Jr. Butch was one of the first teachers who really improved that game. notch butch doesn't travel as much as he used to he's back in las vegas but absolutely a big part of the success that you saw his manager david winkle in that group is waiting to say hello to his man ch3 is uh claude the third one's name is he's taken up the torch and It's been a huge advantage, plus this right here would get him into that tie for 10th place, it would put him in the top 12 and ties, of course, he has a world ranking that's high enough to come back in April '76, today he got away from him in that stretch from the third to the seventh there's a great story here, Nick and a lot of people, you say, talk about how there's this indifference, this doesn't seem to have a care-for-the-world attitude, but everyone to their own around, everyone is a part. of that team will tell you, yes, about the fire that burns inside and the joy that he has had in being able to take these last seven years and share this journey with his brother absolutely and his work ethic, you know that he is recovering the building, the physical strength to Prepare for golf at another level.
If he does it, it will be the lowest total relative to par in major league history, 21 under par, but why do it in 2020 when he can finish right at that stenson's 20 under par number in the opening 16 20 under par? by jason and the masters 2020 the long awaited masters has a long awaited champion in Dustin Johnson Austin choked so it should be what a partner, what a great partnership, a very powerful partnership, why stop here when they have finished all this work, congratulations? Dustin is brilliant for a second and canters now Jim, oh yeah, keep that flagpole, it's the best memory you can have, yeah, Austin is drowned and so is Pauline.
I mentioned his manager, David Winkle, said that this tournament, this has always been the one. with three circles around you grow in this area, this is the one, but to do it together, there is David, welcome to the club, bubba said, my mom is crying, sure, oh huh, she was crying, I'll look for my phone, my trip, yeah , with the children I will take them as if I called them because I love them I know she is fine thanks to tom great job thank you thank you guys johnson from the club who will retire figuring out what the game plan is with paulina tom Nelson, one of the members, helped escort him in and sign and there are others waiting for him, like Justin Thomas outside Johnson, who we talked about earlier.
Yeah, congratulations, man, thanks. Lowest ever, but here's Jordan, who knows them at Chambers. bay in 2015 is something very important for the game nick and you have a guy with this talent and he has seen it all year long he is the player of the year he breaks the tournament scoring record by two strokes and there he is austin I heard her say to paulina aj always chokes, but I'm sure never like today Dustin Johnson, final round 68 wins by five in the last 40 years, there have only been three occasions where the margin of victory was five or more Tiger 97, which you did one of your years, yeah, and now Dustin, that was in the last 40 years, Nick did it in '96.
Let's go back outside the 18th with Amanda here with Cameron Smith's camera. If there's one thing I know about you it's that you can't quit, could you describe the fight? that you put in all week to record all four rounds in the '60s, the first player in Masters history to do that, yeah, that's cool. I didn't realize until you told me, but yeah, I mean there was a lot, a lot. Good fight this week, not a lot of bogeys, a lot of mistakes, actually, on the greens, but, you know, I managed to get through, very good, listen, Dustin Johnson put in an incredible performance, but what was it like for you trying to chase him today? ? without the sponsors, but certainly those leaderboards are big and hard to ignore, how did that change the way you approached today?
Yeah, I thought I'd have a decent chance if I got to Dustin's original origin score at the start of the day, 16 under um, me. I knew he had to push from the beginning. I came out of the gates pretty good and uh, DJ was too good at the end. It certainly seems like your time is coming here. Well done this week though, thanks Jim. Well, the card is being signed and counted. and then you will head to the butler's cabin, you will be the last to become a member here, the biggest prize in golf, the green jacket will be yours shortly, the butler's cabin ceremony will rewind and we will have a repeat presentation of this final .

broadcast

of the round tonight on the cbs sports network several records have been set.
I'm Dustin's second career major and the lowest 72-hole score in Masters history. 268. Remember that he was the first to shoot two rounds of 65 or less in it. tournament with rounds one and three posting 65s and ties for par the major championship scoring mark of 20 under par after pira at 1-2 his first birdie of the day came on the third he would make a bogey on the fourth and fifth and see his margin reduced to one as he stood on the tee on six, which was an important swing that led to birdie on six on 13 for birdie here's the approach to 14. and pick up another one here he had the layup too far He came out of the tee on the 15th.
I got a good number from Austin and turned a sideways wedge just below the hole that led to another birdie on the 18th, part of two parts to complete a second 9 33 and a round of 68. Let's go back down . to amanda here with sung j m and his translator danny oh and sung j was one of the best rounds of fighting we've ever seen how would you describe this round and how does it rank in your career and how did you fight through it all? Yes, definitely, my iron precision. It wasn't as up to par as I played in the first two rounds, but I was able to get it in the spot where I could get a good angle to get close to the hole, so my fight was pretty good, I know. a win is always the goal, but what did you just prove to yourself here in a place you've been watching and wanting to win since you were 10 about the possibility of becoming a major champion?
I'll be honest with you. You know my goal was to make the cut and get through the weekend, but finishing second is incredible and I'm proud of my game. Incredible goal to make the cut. You finished tied for second, Jim. Yes, it was an incredible week for M. Smith, they share. second at 15 under par, how many years would have been a winning total for them? But tonight will be a big party here in Augusta, since Dustin has so many family members around him. His younger sister, Laurie, came from Irmo, South Carolina. parents, grandparents, paulina's family, the two little boys who are just starting to play golf, it will be a great day when they realize that the dream has come true, something Dustin has talked about since he was a little boy when his father was the head professional at the Mid Carolina Club and was young.
Dustin would tell everyone that my goal is to play in the Masters. 43 total players finished under par for the Great Masters tournament for John Augenstein of Owensboro Kentucky, but the low amateur is Andy Ogletree, who will be joining us shortly at Butler. cabin, he made his dream come true. Did Andy get the chance to play with Tiger not one but three rounds? It is a small amateur trophy and the champions trophy will also be awarded here shortly. We were waiting for a great day for almost 580 days to return. augusta we will be back here in just over 140 doing all this again on April 8, 2021 it will start all over again and many of us are already looking forward to it, we have talked a lot during the day about the top 12 and the ties and what that means, those who haven't qualified yet will be invited back and let me give you the names that this will mean something to Dylan Fratelli, that will mean something to him and to Corey Connors as well.
I will proceed to the butler's cabin and that hallowed ceremony approaches next. I don't know what to say right now. It's nice to have to be such a difficult quest to finally win. It feels like it finally got a lot better. a lot of puts and that was the fun. You know, I've never played a full tournament with my game and this is pretty close. I am really very proud to have won this great championship. It is the most stressful golf course in the world. It is not like this? It has taken so long to arrive.
I can't express how lucky I am to win this tournament. I'm probably happier than I've ever been in my life to win the Masters tournament. It's just an amazing feeling. I really don't know what to say because I came down from the clouds one of these days. I never went this far in my dreams to speak. I just couldn't be more excited and you know I'm really at a loss for words and friends, welcome to Butler Cabin on this record breaking day. I'm here with Augusta National President Fred Ridley and they have a very deserving champion who has set the new 72-hole scoring mark and just completed a dream that was formed about 75 miles from here when he was young and also We have a low amateur level.
It's been a great week, Jim, you know, back in March when we postponed the tournament, we didn't know when or even if we would do it. I have the Masters, so I think we came here with a great sense of gratitude and everyone was very excited to be here in November. It's been fantastic. I know many golf enthusiasts who felt it was a very important thing to have it back in their lives. Congratulations to everyone at Augusta National for thank you very much for being able to have the masters and to have this week like this and it's just wonderful to see Tiger here and as the defending champion who will present the green jacket in a moment and of course, he gave everyone one of the biggest thrills ever seen in the sport just 19 months ago, will soon give the jacket to Dustin.
Congratulations, Dustin can't wait to talk to you about it, but here's Andy and Ogletree, your amateur bass, who, oh my God. What a show he put on this week. I know how much it meant to you to be able to play in the Masters and do what you did, and this whole amateur angle is something that goes back to the early days at Augusta. history, you know, he's a U.S. Amateur champion who played here three times as an amateur. How important it is for the club. That's right, Jim. It goes back to Bobby Jones, our co-founder and, without a doubt, the best fan I remember.
I know how special it is for the fans to be here and I know what Andy is going through right now. He played fantastic this week. Andy. I know you started with a 73. I think you were tied for 61st. How motivated were you to be? I was able to get to this point here in Butler County, yes, I mean go back even a little further. He was four out of four to start the tournament. I was playing alongside Tiger. I let my emotions get the best of me and just went for it. to keep a positive attitude, you know, keep building up good shots, get some momentum and played some great golf. um, you know, I didn't do what I wanted the end ofwhat it means to win and how much it means to you to see him drowned like that.
I think we all congratulate Dustin Johnson. He's taken his enormous talent and I think his fan base has reached a whole new level today just because of what he wears there and how he played all week. What a gift to be able to have the Masters. in our lifetime it took us seven months after the original date to get here and Dustin Johnson his life will never be the same I just want to say on behalf of Lance Barrow the cbs golf team says see you later from Augusta Georgia Dustin Johnson is your champion jim nancer nick faldo de butler cabin in augusta georgia exclusively for cbssports.com reporting on the 2020 masters where 20 under par is the winning score belongs to Dustin Johnson the world number one takes the title here by five it is the second major of his career It was close, going from a four-stroke lead overnight to holes of one through five, but then Dustin was too strong, too consistent in all facets of his game and I think he is the most worthy man to join you and others . absolutely, we're very proud to have him as our champion now, I mean, he and he played like a champion, it's a long week, he became one of the favorites at the beginning of the week and that's another thing to deal with, um , a horrible.
There was a lot of talk about the driver doing miles and he said I spoke to him on Wednesday. Now I'm happy playing my own game. I have the driver I like. I have the game I like. I chatted with his brother. He said he's the best outfield player on the tour, I thought that was a big statement, you know, because he's worked so hard on those wages, there's a lot of trust in that camp and you go out and play and you know that on Sunday it's not like that. go to plan at the start just a couple of little shots put it under pressure a couple of great bunker shots on the second the wonderful seventh iron knocked down the six which you know I also managed to do moons ago and it gives you that real feeling.
I'm very confident that my iron shot is like that and then once you got the rhythm going with the driver, that was it, I was back in my comfort zone. Well, shooting 20 under the bar is 268 which breaks in two the 72-hole scoring mark he had owned. to Tiger initially and then teamed up with Jordan Spieth, so he sets the mark there, ties the all-time major championship record for 20-under par tying a stinson and jason day mark that had been set and a open and a pga. but where does this take him now that he got number two?
Yes, along with his US Open win at Oakmont and 16. Where does this take Dustin Johnson looking ahead? He has a very ambivalent quality. The fact is that you know they are water. Off the back it's not that he deals with things that we say well, that's because of his characters, his style and what's really happening, but we, as we saw him, we know the passion to play, the passion to win, That's all he wants to do. is winning golf tournaments, it's incredibly, you know his work ethic is fantastic from a physical and technical point of view and if you put all that together, I mean, you have to believe that a 36-year-old man has another 10 years and who knows that has the strength that it has. he's not looking for anything else, he's very comfortable in his own game, he's got his brother in the bag, in fact, he definitely has the job for life and you know, hey, it's a very difficult thing because we know the razor's edge of this game, but right now, uh, him.
We will most likely have a great run when we start again. We'll be back here in four or five months. We start the tour probably in two months. I could have a he could be the inactive golfer for a couple more years quite easily when we start the Majors in August at the PGA, there will be a streak of 11 of them, 11 Majors will be our seven Majors that will be played in 11 months , yes, and you said that someone can make a career. here absolutely now think about it morikawa deshambo these are all rising stars yes dj is the star the next one will be the maestro again that is very important and then the pga goes to kiawah he is from south carolina and he knows how to play in those fields. to the coast of carolina and then the US Open is on a big course, Torrey Pines, where he knows how to play, and then the open championship at Royal St George's, where he was runner-up to Darren Clark, so who knows, I mean, I could have just looked. directly ahead he could have a notable no, I tell you something else when they announced that the masters was going to happen and that we were going to go to masters masters I thought someone could go back to back well, there is a very worthy challenge that not many people will do I'm betting against myself that he could possibly join another very exclusive club I'm in, so yeah, I'll go and put a couple of sandwiches on him.
I promise you it's a deal. That's what we will serve. next year's champions dinner sandwiches, yeah, that's Dustin's favorite secret about augusta, it's the sandwiches, well nick, it's been fun to call, yeah, all year, especially this week, fantastic, It's true, it's the end of our season. I hope to see you on the west coast, incredible as well as all our crimes, for now we will say goodbye to augusta national. See you here in 144 days and remember for continuing to cover all things golf, stay with us at cbssports.com, congratulations to Dustin Johnson.
