Transcript

Just below 18. Good look at there. Because he didn't go with the putter. He said look pretty damn soft. I think that one was. Okay. Nobody's been in this bunker. Good. There's no footprints or leg marks. Wedge from one forty nine. Oh, can you believe you would take that on for that bunker? It's like he's going low. Yeah. Good contact. Right below the hole goes to Chambo, and he's pumped up.
