Transcript

This is day three of backyard games. And in seven days, one of these eight golfers will have the chance to play me for this $100,000. Today is our third one v one match. Chance and Grant are safe and onto the next round. Come on. Okay? And the next two players competing against each other are? Not small. No. No. No. Sarah. Sarah. Oh my gosh. Yes, Sarah. Against? Oh. No, no. Oh my gosh. Rhett. Rhett. We got Rhett. These two players got pretty lucky because this is one of the easiest holes in my backyard. As long as Sarah and Rhett can carry that first bunker, they'll be sitting pretty. I wouldn't be surprised if either of them made a hole in one tier. The player that wins this one whole match will move on to the next round. And since I drew you first, Sarah.
