Video Transcript
So the restart was 6:35 AM Eastern Time.
Bryson made a mess of the ninth.
Had this long putt for bogey.
Yeah, that was gonna go three or four feet by.
He could've had one coming back.
He could've ended up making a triple on that hole actually, so that was a great save.
But it just doesn't make sense when you think about it.
If it makes sense to him, I guess it works.
Oh, is this anything?
Oh, what a shot.
That was beautiful.
Oh, there you go.
All right.
Let's go back.
I think that's a great idea.
Now, that, now that was a incredible shot there.
Greens are softer, but still, to have that little side spin it even made him smile.
Let's take a look at the contact here.
As Jim said, you gotta keep the club face open.
Point that club face toward the sky.
There it is.
There it is, yeah.
Look at, the face of the club is pointing straight up to the sky.
Sure was.
That was well played there.
Take a pretty big cut at it.
Get out, stay out.
All right.
All right.
Just to get back to plus three.
Which could be very important at the end of the day.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I think even for his psyche, just to kinda, "All right, I made a birdie.
I've messed up those tools before.
I can't do anything about that."
Look how much slope there is.
He's gotta carry it a good 25 feet.
That's a better play.
Yeah.
Whoa.
Wow, that i- this green's had a Victor's ball had a little bit of a bounce in it, so maybe this one has a little bit more.
That was actually, I thought, a pretty good shot, and I think he did too.
Gotta start dropping these soon.
Get in.
That puts a charge into the stands.
Yeah, he didn't get it too far left.
Matt got it just a little too far left.
Big time.
Oh, that is a huge putt.
You can tell he knew how much important that was.
George likes percentages.
He tries to get me on those questions.
You notice I didn't answer.
I'm gonna go 100%.
Really?
That was a great break, and he took advantage of it.
Few great up and downs.
Yeah, true.
10 and 11.
Just like that.
Oh.
Yeah.
Well played.
Let's go, Bryson.
Boy, he needed that.
That was clutch.
That's why I don't like the signature events very much on PGA Tour right now.
That's all gonna change, I know, going forward, but there's something so intriguing about Friday afternoons and cuts- Gotta have a chance especially in the big event.
Agonizingly close.
Things wind up according to the projections, it would be his third missed major cut this year.
70, 75.
