Seventh in the end, his best major finish. [music] Missile [music] tonight. I want to show you all [cheering] >> different shafts in his irons this week. >> Just falling right of it. That's how you hit it close on the first. That's probably the easiest spin that you can find on this green ne. >> Oh. >> Richard Lee pops one in. He's entitled, but he'll [music] likely need a victory here at the JCB. >> [music] >> And now Bryson certainly been on form of late. This one's not far off target. Needs to maybe spin a little. Oh. [applause] Well, it's [applause] a soothing [cheering] start for Dambo here in Staffordshire. A bird in the Cam's teammate for the Rippers, the Aussies, is Mark Leechman. That's his third shot at the park. Five, sixth. >> Oh, whatever little shot. >> That must have that must have been with a mid iron like probably like a six iron or something. >> He He will play that is one of the very fine up there. Just missed the first. That's better. [applause] >> Remarkable. David's got a great look obviously at Terrell's putt. So maybe just right center, right edge. Really, really locks in. Draws that line to the hole and back with his eyes. Two for two. [applause] >> Hot out of the gates for Bryson. [music] >> More than 190 miles an hour. >> Spin. >> That's perfect. >> These are just ridiculous number. David back in John Ram. water right behind. Plays it like a bunker shot. >> Oh, that that's actually very good. David, look at this. >> Extraordinary from there. I mean, anywhere on the green you would have taken. Very good. I mean, I'm playing >> three balls in the fairway here. The first year we played here before they redesigned it, taking the players feedback. We didn't see three fairways hit all week on this hole. That was skinny. Very, very low. Left side. It's going to bounce right. >> Oh, it might be very good. Oh my. Might be really good. One of your better misses right there. >> Just going to here. Wind's just picking up slightly into and off the players's right. >> Nice low fade >> direction into a snout left. >> Okay. >> It's literally like I'm in a bunker though. >> Yeah, Hatton has a more dangerous angle here, Jerry. >> A little bit more, but a more mortal club selection. This a five iron. That's going to land in the sweet spot, I think, and bounce right. Oh, landed softly. That's going to be good. Just gets on the slope and there she goes. Manhattan will have that for Eagle. [applause] Dean Burmister at the second for birdie. >> Oh yeah. [applause] >> Dean has started. Birdie bogey birdie. He's back to one underpart. The third. And it's a par five. And this is for Eagle. >> Well, it's an electric start nonetheless for Bryson Desau. He joins Lucas Herbert on three underpart. This for eagle at three. [applause] >> Very nice. >> He doesn't seem displeased with it. A little left where he wanted it. should just feed [music] closer towards the pin. Went with a nice high draw. >> This is on a really nice line if it's the right club. >> He liked it straight away, John Ram, and he has a lot of reason to do so. Oh, he's floating a little fade to hold it against that breeze, but the breeze is winning now. >> Oh, this is good. Just unfortunate bounce. Just pitched on the down slope. I'm asking it to cut a little more. It just carries the bunkers nuts. >> That looked like a decently aggressive line. He caught it solidly. One of the best driver he's been so far on six is to join Helgrren on four under. >> He could go super low again. Lucas Herbert who carded a 62 at Royal Burkedale last could have been seven. >> Oh, that is just pummeled and kept it low. Still asking for it to go left of the hole. >> Oh, great shot. Shot. It's a terrific start [applause] for Bryson and response to the events at Burgdale. That's Pson will play next. Yeah. >> Oh, what happened here? [screaming] [laughter] >> Well, somebody hit their T-shot. >> Oh, he didn't know. >> No one told him. Killed someone. >> Well, you can see this just missed him. on. >> You could tell Bryson was very sorry. No one told him to restarted. Well, >> one on the path. >> This is an easy shot. >> Come left. >> There we go. That should spin a little. Gather towards the hall. >> Towers. Alton Towers. Yes, the big amusement park. It's close by. Well, and Pter has survived the attempt on his life. >> Caddy and Nick Pew. Both of them putting in a lot of work together as a team. >> Hoping for a big left right kick now. Good. [applause] >> Lucas giving a bit of stick to Nick Pew here. >> Just about whole high and they both thought he jumped. >> Okay. Pretty much another blind T-OT as was the last hole where they were aiming flirting with the right side maybe a little should be all right. >> Yeah, [music] that's good. But for Herby, >> Lucas Urban, [applause] >> he's brought his form from Southport and Royal Burgdale. >> A putt on the third player pole. tracking. >> Oh, >> just a gap wedge. A pretty full one. That's his more lofted of the two gap wedges. Right of the flag. This has to be the right distance. [applause] Chance here, Jerry. >> Yeah, very good chance. Just gently up the slope. Had a hard time seeing much break at all. [applause] >> It really is a very Well, the line is excellent. >> Oh, he is playing beautifully. >> The back to the G10 and Lucas Herbert. >> Oh, get >> Oh, there's trees and long grass down the left on 10. [music] >> Oh, no. He's cut the corner. Look how far that's gone. Wow. Mega short cut from Herbert on the >> break at all. Might just fall a touch right. [music] >> He was expecting it to drop right. It never did. >> To the 11th. Cam Smith for birdie. Consecutive birdies for the Ripper GC captain. >> Right. You would have run out of fairway. This is a fivewood straight into the breeze. >> Looks like it's climbed a little bit on him. Is it going to be enough? That's a good shot. I mean, uh, it's a golf course that asks you all kinds of questions, but these guys have got the answers right so far. >> How do you feel about a blind T-shot? >> Well, it depends. I mean, if you know exactly the line, you know, it it's actually not really that different. You know, we we're all wired at this professional level to hit to certain spots and certain lines. Of course, it's always better if you have the view, especially into a green, but T- shots, you know, when you don't really hit the shots that you want to, you actually wonder, oh, is it going to be one of those average rounds? But here, I mean, it doesn't seem like he has fluttered in any way. Lucas Herbert, who's off to a flyer this week as well. >> His eagle attempt on 10. >> Oh, stop it. >> Oh, wow. >> He is just unstoppable at the minute. What a scorecard. >> Just a lane climber. That's nice. Give yourself a little bit of distance into this 11th with a great angle. >> Back with Bryson. Believe it's the fivewood here. >> Here's Tier Hatton of Legion 13. Nice little uphill lie. Just he read it like a putt. Trying to get an idea of what this does once it lands. See how good he did. The speed is excellent. >> The line's above average. The water at 11. Lucas Herbert >> just a slide down your line. This is a sandwich. Tucked left whole location. Go. Now Bryson, >> not the hardest bunker shot here. A bit of an uphill lie, but it's that awkward sidehill lie as well. It's the ball a little bit above his feet. It's just one you don't see players get the contact they want on very often. He got that heavy, which is usually the case. Yeah. actually going to sneak out there. Not too bad. >> He's got that to go under. >> Yeah, just the six. >> Little slippery. Not frightening. >> Turn. >> Telling you, dude. Dang it. Lucas Herbert on the 11th green. >> Left and right putt here. >> I took a bit of a hop straight out the gates there. >> Jumped quickly offline. Surprising Shambo on the T at 11. Made a late switch of clubs to this fairway wood. Flying like the five and in good shape. >> Should be good. Tortise on 317 place 23 down. >> That can be very good. Be nice. >> Likes it. >> Yeah, that is nice. [applause] >> Isn't there something on offer on 17 Arlo? >> [music] >> Oh boy. >> That's well right. >> Popular spot >> understandably. He did well. What a shot. [applause] >> Lucas Herbert is having another day. [applause] [music] >> Boy, that's a courageous line. That is tight [music] to the water on the right. >> That was tattooed as well. What a shot. >> He's the only one that took a very straight aim and gets rewarded for it. >> Everybody playing safe to the left trying to maybe play. He's going for a high cut with the wind coming off the left. >> Trying to get this to land as softly as possible. >> As good as you look. >> Oh, they like it. >> Oh, that's good. First shot, mate. >> Have this fivewood to come down so softly like that. Oh my. >> That's for eagle. What a T- shot. >> This is the third eagle putt of the day. >> Well, I went right and didn't break. >> Good enough for a three. >> Around to lock all those shots in. Extremely meticulous. It's paying off, that's for sure. [music] >> Let's go, Bryson. >> That's smoked. >> Yeah. [music] >> [music] >> down wind. You can see the flags past the screen. Gives the players a good indication. This is on a very good line. >> Oh, this is stunning from Lucas Harvard to be honest. >> Jerry Bryson can reach this 13th >> with an iron. Likely the five didn't get the signal. That's his longest iron. >> That got 8 ft in the air max. >> It's over the water. Yeah, he didn't catch that the way he wanted, but it was enough. [applause] He's doing it again. This for Birdie add 14. And through 14 holes here in round one of the JCB. This is Dillick here and this is Bryson for his birdie at 13 to get to seven under and just clinging on to Lucas Herbert's coattails at the moment. [applause] Great setting and this is the day when we get the lightest crowds. >> Yeah, it's going to crank up, Jerry, isn't it? Over the next three days. Oh, they might like this one. >> Birdie here. We may have to start talking about about what, David. >> Nothing. Nothing. >> Good shot there. Be careful, Fatty. Be very careful. >> I don't want to. Nobody wants to jinx from the fans all the way along. Well, >> it's going to get very interesting at the JCB over the weekend if >> take your line and your distance, see if you can match them up and give it a good smash, which he does regularly. [music] >> That's got some draw on it, but it's got some heat on it. >> [music] >> just be a little tougher gauging the spin on this ball. Trying to draw one into this breeze. >> Oh, this is a good looking shot. Oh, it was a good swing and he got it to check up even from the rough on the middle level. I I just even though it's a wispy lie, it shouldn't be much of a flyer. I don't see how it stays there. But that is that's going to bring rain. It's so high. >> Well judged. >> That's good shot. [applause] >> Delicate little touch. Perfect speed. >> Oh yeah, >> great line. [applause] >> Boy, he has stayed in touch. Fair play to him. >> Club face. >> Got a good read this one. Just a little bend to his left. [cheering] >> Through 16 holes. Lucas Herbert is 11 under parath for his opening round here at the JCB. >> Seven iron. [music] It's moving right nicely. Is it moving right enough to catch the slow? Come on. [applause] >> Wow. >> Well, both actually. Oh, yeah. That's true. Get in the hole. >> Give me one second. >> No, bud. >> 17. And it's just a little tentative, which is perfectly understandable. Didn't look like he could be very aggressive with it either. Doesn't look like one. >> Wow. Oh, this is holding its line nicely. Just left of the hole. >> [applause] [cheering] >> Well, I mean this for 59. There you go, Nico. I said it. >> I didn't want to do it, David. >> Oh, almost catches the line. [applause] >> It's official, David. You jinxed it. He >> certainly looked like he's favoring the left side. Oh, it's went straight right on him >> for a 60. >> Oh, he forgot to head it. Oh, nurse. Well, power par to finish and it's Herby goes bananas the sequel. [applause] Another week, another magnificent display on the swale. >> That was peppered up the right. >> Oh, wow. That's up on the top level at the minute. You don't often see that, mind you. It's heading back down. nicely done [applause] about what I believed was right, but you moved past it. And on yesterday's evidence, he certainly has. [music] >> [music] [music] >> on the team. >> [music] >> Why must you know >> that was a very good second shot for Harold with this wind. It's going to move a fair amount with a short putt. [applause] >> Great start for Harold. That's going to need a little bounce off the slope. It should get it up the right side. >> And it does. >> That's a great lead. >> Giving himself a good angle to this pin on the right of the green. It's perfect from right. You're right, mate. 12:30. >> Wind's just died down a little. >> Yeah, mate. >> Oh, look at this. >> Copy paste to Bryson. >> Just did the first cut. Beautiful. >> Beautifully done. [applause] Herbert Stern also chipping up the slope also well judged for the up and burn the up and down birdie. Well done. Importance of a a birdie birdie start for the American [applause] birdie. Now the deficit is back to his shots. Everywhere we go, everywhere he goes, it's always the case. And that's exactly what his motivating factor is in this game is to try and get these young fans motivated, interested, and he he enjoys it, I think, more than he even appears to enjoy it. And that's quite a lot. We're pretty sheltered here, but there's going to be a little help out your left like 7:00. >> Speaking of dangerous, you could do yourself a mischief here at six. >> Scott Benson. Let's hope he's all right. The ball isn't. Just loses his right foot on that dry fast. >> David Terrell H for Birdie at the fourth. Oh, beautifully done by Terrell. Just a little out to the right. Might work it on that wind with a tiny draw. Sometimes he does it on purpose, sometimes not. seems happy with it. >> Bryson has said if John Ram beats him to the >> and once again that went according to plan. >> His teammate Lucas Herbert. That's a nine iron that started off piercing a great line. It did climb a little bit just left of the hole. >> Good shot. >> Rip his lead. He's back to three. >> Harold Barner at four. So looked like he was coming from an up a bit into the wind. Not easy. Judges it perfectly. Oh, what a start for >> back immediately. >> Yeah, well done. [applause] Seven iron. That's riding the wind left. Yeah, it's got no chance hitting the green. >> Wow. Just enough off that shoulder. That's actually a good spot. >> Step back off that one. >> Yeah, that where I am. miles west of the geographical center of England. Here's John Rahm with his second shot into the second hole. And that should be a first birdie of the day for our seasonl long leader Mark Leeman. It's his second shot at number eight and a beauty. Well, that could have gone in for the same price. >> Just clips the flag stick enough. >> Three yards short is what he told Jibo. It's going to ricochet it right. Oh, that's very, very well done. That's exquisite. [applause] >> Can get his nose back in front here on the six. This is a birdie putt. [applause] >> Well done. You wouldn't have been very comfortable over this one. Let's go. >> Oh, wow. Look how far down he's hit. It's not going to hold the fairway, but it doesn't matter. >> Talk about that gap. >> Oh, that's an enormous 3wood. >> Wow. >> That's gigantic. Well, we had a few essentially land this on the front edge on the ups slope of that to get it close. Little ride of there's some slope to help right there. That is extremely well played. It doesn't look great for a little short wedge, but that is a good shot with this holder. >> John Rom. Two pucks to third for birdie. >> Coaster run over the previous few holes. This is the seventh. Three birdies and a couple of bogeies over his previous five holes, but that'll be enough to hold steady on 12 on the park. >> Seven. Good chance here. >> Of course. [applause] Ris >> certainly right at the intended line. >> Yeah. >> Certainly has become windier as the minutes went by. Plenty of room left of this pin. Don't want to flirt with that right side. As Jerry said, that false front is on a good line. I like that mate. >> I like it a lot. >> Above the hall on nine in Thrill Hatton for Birdie. >> Hated it. [laughter] >> Ended up loving it. First half a little bit of a double breaker and it's downhill the entire second half. >> That rolled through the friend smoothly. That's catching the slope nicely and this left. Now you just want it to bite. [applause] >> Delightful from the Australian >> [applause] >> He said he caught that last wedge just a hair thin. Something he needs to fix. In his words, other players say, "I need to work on it." He says, "I need to fix it." >> That's a good line. >> Just left of it. >> Fabulous. >> Not an easy shot. >> [music] >> Is it going to catch that [music] bridge? Look at this. Amazing bunker shot by Lucas Herbert. Little quick time there. He's pretty good at it. [music] >> [music] >> He kind of fell in love with the line there and forgot to hit it. [music] >> At 12, Caleb Serat for Birdie. >> Nicely done. [applause] He's flying. [music] >> Oh, it's happened again. That's his third bogey [music] on the front nine if he puts this away. [music] >> So good on the greens in round one. [music] >> [music] >> When I say I feel [music] not even an inch, it's centimeters that he's missing What is it that we can all learn from? What do you say to yourself mentally when that happens? He's got the back nine and Bryson to tackle. >> Well, you know, the best putters in the world, they're not afraid to miss >> and you know, you go ahead and make a confident stroke and if it misses, it misses. You know, you as strange as it sounds, you free yourself up to make a stroke. >> Yeah, good. Nice free stroke there on 10 up ahead on the green for his [music] being at the top of that leaderboard especially this year. I'm sure he's gained some lessons from all of that. But that is >> didn't get all of it. Oh my god. >> Wow. At first, I was surprised that he was banking this in. Probably didn't really have a great lie, but >> to have this come back to his feet. >> Well, he he would love to have been able to throw that onto the green, but and as you said, you know, I mean, that that lie had to be a little difficult. It was just very It's sitting down there. And take a look at the contact. If he didn't catch it just a little thick. Yeah, he did to Yeah. >> I think it that rough is just too thick to bounce it in. You lob it. You're going to end up on the bottom back shelf, I think. >> Oh my goodness. >> Oh, that's wonderful. >> That's ridiculous. >> Where did he bounce that? Just inch perfect to find a right way with his second shot into the par four. Ripper GC just clinging on to that lead in the team competition. All four scores count. Oh, look at that. Well, they're not clinging on anymore. That'll provide some breathing space. Wow. to avoid four bogeies in eight holes after none in his opening 20. Well done. >> You're supposed to make every time you don't. Bryson has a higher percentage than most. Well, Bryson is not going to [cheering] hand the Live Golf Championship to John Rahm for 2026. Castle was built in 1068. Wow. >> By William the Conqueror. [music] >> Sat for Birdie. >> Oh, he's playing superbly. He enjoys Lucas off the 11th >> T. Right of the flag stick, believe it or not. Even though that's the short side. Exactly what he's done at the edge of the green at best. >> Oh, that got better. Boy, it did it ever. And that actually bunched backwards. It is Lucas Herbert of the leaders. Ripper GC just off the green but for birdie at 11. >> That looked good. on the quicker side of this whole location today. It's going to be pretty quick. >> Good putt as far as he can, which is I mean it sounds cliche, but it's easier said than done. >> Oh wow. >> Well, that was a dead pull. >> Yeah, he was playing that to the right side. That never started right. >> Look how far behind the hole that is as well. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, he he he kind of wanted the putter head back there. Rided him. >> He's going to try and ride the wind [music] location on the right side of the screen today. He's >> on a very good swing line. Yeah, David, >> catch the slope. >> Come on. >> Mike. >> Oh, good shot. >> Not for eagle. >> Got it a little high on the face, but it doesn't matter with all that slope. Look at that. Oh, [applause] >> just a little bit on the cautious side with the pace there. There was a lot of movement at the end. >> [applause] >> That is I mean that helps so much in terms of what you ultimately shoot. >> Same line as Lucas that has a little draw on it late. Should still be ideal. Straight off your left. Okay. See your shot. >> Hatton for birdie. 13th grain. He's very patient. I mean, you look at him and you think like he's just about to explode and still gets it up and down from everywhere. Similar sort of strike. High and bleeding. Oh, he's squeezed. really trying to work it off the left. Is it coming right enough? >> Oh, identical to yesterday. >> Oh yeah, [applause] mate. >> We heard Nick Pew unreal and he used exactly the same word yesterday. >> That is a low heater. Pinseeker just left it. Tons of heat on it though. >> Oh, it was a good swing that's [applause] for sure. At nine here is John Rom for birdie for eagle at 13. Lucas Herbert stay up. Oh yeah, what a run he has had so far. >> Should fall to his right. [applause] >> What a battle between these two. [applause] Lucas Herbert 15 under par, a lead of one over Bryson Shambo dancing away in the DJ booth. [music] What a shot. Perfect. Imagine what it's going to be like tomorrow, Jerry. >> Hard to imagine it's any better than this. I'm kind of wishing I was up there. This on a great line just left. Is it too much? No. They're following each other. [music] Everybody today from behind the hall has missed this slow. >> [music] >> shot advantage. Oh yes, Lucas Herbert with his own blast at the quarry trying to get it up and down for birdie on 10. Nice putt. [music] >> Oh boy, that's turning. >> That could find a long grass. Oh, worse than full grass. >> Looks like he's going to be snookered in those trees. >> Herbert playing out of turn. >> Yeah, that ball's sitting way down. It's going to be difficult for him to judge that spin. >> Soft. >> Oh, it hit in the slope and killed it. That's a beautiful shot from a difficult lie. >> Call it a parish notice. Uh tomorrow our shotgun start is 105 local time. That's Bley for John [applause] Rahm. So it's >> aiming this just outside left it seems. >> Sorry outside right. My bad. On the other side >> slippery still and turning left. Oh, he just hit it a little firm. >> All about speed. Trust what your eyes see when you read it, not what your feet feel when you stand over it. And then you got to just tickle it down to the hole. I snuck [snorts] away from him immediately largely because of putts this length. No mistake there. >> Green far right hole location today. [music] Up she goes. And eventually it'll land. What a beautiful shot. >> And I was wrong again. Oh wow. >> I didn't see that one coming either, Jerry. He has hit a couple of magical short shots around >> to get to 11 under par. Second round 68 for Tur to add to his 66 yesterday. So he's very much in the mix heading into the weekend. >> Well done. >> Makes a ton of those that he has to. He's very solid inside. >> Followed him Bermuda when he went on the PGA tour. Followed him when he won out here in Virginia and then an international series event in Japan. And your observation is absolutely correct. When he's playing well, he doesn't back down. I think he's proved that to himself. Lucas Herbert. >> Well, Lucas Herbert is in the form of his life right now at this level. >> Here on 18. >> Gohan. That's quite a long carry. >> He made it. And that is up. That's the first person I believe we've seen up on the top half of the fairway. That is perfect. Didn't look at that one very long. No, me neither. My eyes got glued to the 191 ball speed on screen. Jerry and it's a good one. We've got Anthony John. >> It's just hanging on to the right side. >> She's going to get stuck there. Started this a long way right next view from here. kind of went down though. >> Oh, no way. >> Couple of steps too far right. >> What a good boat. >> Yeah, that's important. [applause] >> Very significant for Bryce Dashambo. 67 then. >> [applause] >> 69 for Harold who birded his first four holes and it's a 66 to add to his 61 yesterday and Lucas Herbert go wire towire for the second time this season. GC are a comfortable [music] nine shots clear at the halfway stage in the team competition. [music and singing] John Ram his second shot into 11. >> Strangely out of sort so far this week. He is leading the way in the season long title race. That's an excellent start though for John Rahm. He's one under par. He's 12 shots behind Bryson Dambo. Oh, Peter Uline at the second [cheering] Herby over the weekend. [music] >> [music] >> Must be a girl like you know Wind's a bit more into than it is off the right. It's going to hurt more. This is an eight iron. He's kept that low. >> Oh, what a shot. [applause] >> Yeah, I am to the third. Richard Lee for Eagle. >> This one to drop. It'll feel every bit like he's he's got momentum even though this is for par. It's a big ask here for a four. >> What an up and down that is. >> Needs all the birdies he can get. Nico being seven back from Herby. >> Collect them as quickly as possible. >> [applause] [cheering] >> in Pter and that's birdie at six. >> So birdie birdie start that middle bunker even into this breeze. He's comfortable feeling that he can do that with ease. That came out low with a lot of spin though. Not sure he caught it on the center of the face. >> Doesn't carry the fairway bunker. It's going to be awkward from there. Oh yeah, >> stop. >> So right over the middle of that second bunker is ideal. [music] >> Maybe the left side of it. He said he caught the last drive solid. He was surprised it didn't carry the bunker. This might run out of fairway. >> Yeah, like most it takes that big bounce. >> Push straight down, mate. Or we got something on the left. the hair out your right if anything like well struck confidently done the tea at six this is his fourth shot at the short par fiveb golf and country club day three of live [music] golf United Kingdom here is Luis Masabeo for birdie at the party hole. The quarry number 14. Nonetheless, this is sitting down just enough where he won't be able to maximize the spin in this first cut, but he doesn't need to because of the wind. That was really clean contact. Flying plenty far. >> Such a shot. [applause] An awkward lie. This is the 14th, the party hole and Charles Schwarzel on the tea. Southern guard. Beautiful shot. Six hole for Harold Varnner. He's going to bump it into it. Well done. >> That's very well played from there. >> Harold Vana for his birdie at six. >> He in one closer for birdie. >> Look at these clothes that are flapping because of the wind. >> Oh wow. From Cam Smith with Rachel Drummond a few moments ago. Here he is with his second shot at the seventh. Just unfortunate to be a foot into the long grass. >> There's an angle. >> Wow, what a shot. >> A hold out in Pter. This is at 11. The short par four across the water. Needs to spin. Beautiful shot. Good shot. >> Good shot. >> Spin on that might give it a chance to stay in the fairway. Doubtful. left a gap in the trees with a line for his far on nine. [music] >> Hello. [laughter] >> He almost got there before it >> a wedge downwind. >> It's tracking just a little bit shorter to hold. Good shot. He'll be happy with that. I think depends on the bounce. And it was a good bounce. Entire fairway slopes left to right. This one should get a nice bounce. Spin it as much as you need to to get it close here. Both his competitors did nicely. >> Cut it very steeply. A lower trajectory. One hop and stop. Three of a kind. Really? Bryson is grinding away in the blustery wind >> when it's this windy. >> Very nicely done by Tur. And a first 30 of the day for the leader. >> That's one of the three here from Terra. Not an easy shot to get right here [music] for Cam on 10. Green that slopes from front to back. Oh, that's perfect. from is high and soft. Find the right weight. Three for consecutive birdies. And he's nailed it. Fantastic from Lucas Herb. Really good jolt if this goes in. Possibly [cheering] the loudest roar of the day. >> Will it be Bryson? >> Yeah, we should say at this point, you know, the scoring is absolutely amazing. You know, to be 19 underpar midway through the third round, leading by four, [screaming] but this guy, >> there's no give up in him. [screaming] >> And he'll be able to reach the power five 10th and two at 11. Excellent. [music] >> Really good from Harold today. 11 to go back to back David and an important time as Ripper were coming under intense pressure from the crushers. We did >> that the other day. >> That's the farthest. >> Yeah, that's the farthest left of the three. Just in the first cut. >> Harold has this for birdie at 12. South Africa's southern guards. His second shot at the third. He teed off earlier and the 11th. He will make [music] eagle at the third. He's 300 today after starting the day level par. Beautifully done by Brandon. [applause] [music] [applause] >> Solid >> second shot into the fourth for John Ram. >> [applause] >> 10 shot swing for two. He's just laying this up. >> He knows that if you miss it left, which is where most people are going to do it, really hard to get it close to that whole location as this will be. Wow, that's a long way left with the iron, Jerry. >> Yes, it is. >> Ian Pter 20 drop [cheering] straight away. Look at this. Has a chance. >> Didn't need much more. Oh, this could you could catch that lip on the down swing here. >> Harold Varnner with an amazing shot at 13. One closer to Lucas Herbert. >> Birdie at 13. >> Oh, that's an up and down for the ages there. >> At the first earlier, he bogeied it. He followed that with a bogey at the second. Another followed at the eighth. >> But look at this. Four consecutive birdies after that beautiful T-shot on 17 for birdie >> today. Hey, he went birdie eagle birdie Nico, didn't he yesterday on 1213 and 14 straight down the middle and her ability to bounce back from disappointment needed it >> three times yesterday after bogeies. Here's Cam teeing off at the quarry the 14th. >> Oh, that's as close as we've seen. >> That's going to be five in a row for Cam. Yeah. Tap in for Cam at 14. [applause] Five in a row for Cam. >> Bryson from a nice uphill lie. He can He can get this one close easy. He flew it farther than I thought. Got it to check. Beautiful. [applause] >> He's going to try and just land his on the edge there. Oh, that took a massive bounce. >> It's on track. >> [applause] >> All the rage, Jerry. >> Mhm. >> Wind is down and off the right. [music] Oh, Gerald, you tease Cam Smith. Well, with this putter in his hand, you never know. This is for Birdie. Six in a row. >> It's tracking. OH, HE'S GOT IT >> as Legion 13 does of Captain John Rom for Trail Hat. One of the more entertaining moments of the day. Missed opportunity for Brighton. [cheering] And after that magnificent T- shot by firm green. Not a lot of room to bring the ball from the left. The wind's going to push that ball right as well. What a shot. >> Oh, that's a fabulous shot. And the chance for seven in a row. [cheering] >> We do like an opportunity to shout. Marner just as good on 16. >> On 16. >> What a great bounce back by Harold. [applause] Cam Smith will step in. This extraordinary run. >> He's done it. Now there are six stars on the Australian flag. It's seven stars on the back. Nine for C. >> Did a good job on the 12th. from off the green. It's going to be very slow in that first half. Pretty steep bank. >> Not a good >> wonderful effort. >> It was two over for his round after nine holes as well. Where's this landing? >> Oh, he got a great kick. Oh, yes. >> Hello. Wow. [cheering] 18. >> Looking good. Looking good. Wonderful try. >> What a great puck. >> That needs to bounce right. Yeah, there you go. Soft enough to >> sp that bunker helping from eight >> barely. >> It's eight carat gold for Cam Smith. Eight in a row and he's tied the live golf league record for consecutive birdies in a single round. Absolutely remarkable for the Ripper GC captain. >> Oh, he had it. He had it. Right. And back to within three. >> Takes some miracle to keep the streak going from here. >> Okay. Got it out. >> Have a chance to get it up and down from there. >> It's a relatively easy wet shot. Oh, that's holding his line nicely just left of it. >> That's going to come right perfectly for [cheering] the amount of good shots that we've seen on 17 cuz it's not a big target to find. Atlantic Bryson there. >> Yeah, that's going to come good. What a for sure. >> It's brilliant. It's wonderful. [applause] A back nine of 28 for Cam Smith. had a six underpar round of 66 and he is in contention make no mistake about it on 14 >> up at 18 Harold Varnner played beautifully today 67 for >> Harold [applause] on tight down the left it should be fine it's a long way up there too into the breeze It's either been nearly perfect or regrettable. Hasn't been much in between to be quite honest. That ballooned on him a bit. Just left of the hole. >> Oh, it is it going to stay there. Oh, it tried its best. just ran out of steam. [applause] >> Had it on the great line. [applause] >> Superb [applause] brilliant front running from Lucas Herbert. >> [music] [music] >> Why you must be a girl [singing] like you know me well you [music] An early birdie. >> Got a good read from Bryson's putt. There's one moving right. >> Yes, sir. [applause] >> That gets a hometown [cheering] ro from the gallery. Oh, what a start [cheering] for Lucas Herbert. Nerdless >> into the fan. [music] >> [music] [music] >> That's climbing. Not going to get his max distance out of that. It's going to land very softly on the left side. a little bit slower thanks to that couple of droplets of rain that we got. >> Talking about a star. gave up on it early. >> Way open here. He's just off the edge of the green. >> A little clip up in the air. >> Yeah. >> How many hole outs has he done this week, David? >> Yeah, he did. Wasn't positive self-t talk afterwards either. Way to go, Bryson. Way to go. It's exactly where he started it. >> Very dry. >> Swing. >> That'll find the fairway. It's a rarity. >> Beautiful shot. >> That's actually the way to do it. >> Exactly right, David. And still factor in the ricochet to the right when it lands. That's why spin is imperative here. pretty good. >> What do you think he'd be thinking? Because he left that putt on the second short. This is not easy to judge. >> No. You know, and it's funny because his long distance putting, his lag putting is either spot on. He doesn't miss usually by like two or three feet. It's either a big miss or exactly right. Almost got hit exactly right, Jerry. >> Exactly. [applause] moved to his right. That was such a difficult chip to keep that on that top shelf. Good pace. [applause] >> Playing straight back into the breeze from the angle of the T-shot here now. Maybe just a little push from the right, but not much. Oh, >> should be okay, shouldn't it? [music] No problem. Didn't appear. >> Yeah. Right half of the fairway. Good shot. Climbed a bit. Brought that in very low. Piercing through the wind nicely. Great shot. That's what he needs to do. this club right here. And if Hacking Hatton can get it hot early, as he has done already, you never know. >> That's three out of the first four holes for Terrell Hatton to take a good look at it as well. Didn't seem to be much indecision at all about the read, which usually raises your percentage of hitting a good putt when you're convinced what it's going to do. He won't go down lightly. Bryson Desambo caner down the hill at nine. Tugged it a little. [music] >> Oh, it's going to be good though. It'll catch that slope >> person and come right back as it hits that top of the plateau. >> What a great effort. That is just superb. It's a part of the shot. Try the club head up and away she goes. >> Oh, that's an aggressive line. >> Okay, it might be left in the rough, but it's 194 bowl speed. kept it down. >> Great shot. >> Kind of slopes away each side of just overdid it slightly. >> A lot of stuff for Terrell Hatton also from an up light. Perfect for weight. Just a little bit right. Oh my >> boy, he hit a good putt. >> Just now Lucas Herbert for his birdie. His leads have been like an accordion this week. >> Every time it gets close, it then stretches out again. Will it be five shots? YES, IT [screaming] WILL. WHAT A START. >> This is for outright second. Tur has birded four of his opening six holes on Championship Sunday. He's >> for sure. I mean it it asks for a hard slice off the tea, but it's difficult downwind. >> Sit down. >> You can hardly land it in a better spot. >> Right where the cranes were. >> I mean, the other thing on this seventh hole is that if you want to have a chance to hit it, >> this is most lofted. This is the fivewood. Oh yeah, Bryson. So strong. >> That's quite high for Bryson. That's quite far right. >> That might actually have a fairway. Somebody take a photograph. >> Or black maybe. >> Perfect. From this angle, a bit more right wind with a little bit of help. Got to deal with that ridge on the right side of the screen. >> Oh, it hits in the slope nicely. >> The best shot I've seen, David. One of the best ones. Checker still going to release after that off that right mound by my view. >> Right into it. Oh, just landed on top of it. Yes, >> that's 20 teams was sixth in Mexico City and the Majestics in their home events are currently fifth. Oh, this is sensational from Lucas Herbert. Now Bryson. Good response. hanging in there, >> making zero mistakes, and just keeping the foot on the accelerator. You feel like you got a birdie every hole, don't you? >> He might have to. >> That's a good start to this one. That one just a little left. >> No, it's fine. It bounced it steeply. Flying nicely just to the left. Oh yes, [applause] >> he's pretty much doing everything right. Just >> But Herbert still leads by five now then. >> Oho. Adrien There'll be some dry cleaning involved with this. >> Just threw the club a little bit too far behind the ball. >> That's a shame. We were all hoping for a nice shot there. >> You have all your options you have. Please go ahead for 5:30. >> Okay. >> Wow. You can't make that one as well, can you? He is incredible. It's got to be utterly demoralizing for the show. >> Really you can do you have to just keep your pedal in the metal. Put some pressure on as much as you can. Tor Hatton is five under Parker who's opening eight holes. [applause] Dambo and Hatton just claw a shot back. He struck it beautifully. >> Is the distance as good as the line? >> Yes. Not bad. >> That's just right of it. It's in a good spot. Little putt up the hill there. started at Bryson's ball. >> Oh, this could be very good. This is just what a display [music] [applause and cheering] >> 25 under. [music] Oh boy, [cheering] >> he just refuses to blink. [music] >> Absolutely much. Bringing it in low. Should have one hop and stop. Put the parking brake on. Cover that false. >> Straight forward chip here. He's got the ball behind. Well executed >> to narrow the gap between him and Lucas. Heading back up the slope. >> Oh, disgusting. [music] It's actually a really good angle to use that slope at the back. Oh, but there you go. Come on. Oh, it'll come. It's got no choice from up there. Yeah, [applause] >> this is a sand wedge. Wind off the left with some help. She's pitched in a perfect spot and in again inside everyone else. Still has some skin in the game here at the JCB. He's the captain of Legion 13, seeking a third straight [cheering] win at the JCB. That's for Birdie at nine. >> Hatton for Birdie on 11. >> Two in a row. >> Just with the wind speed. >> The frustration just got really not going to do that much. >> Oh, he's an assassin today. Lucas Herbert. Now Bryson on 12 second shot. >> Yeah, all three very similar shots. This was from the [screaming] more unpredictable of the lies, but he managed it very, very well. >> Trampled lie. Very steep on that up slope there, but a lot of green to work with. Came out nice and low, pitching into the wind. What a shot. [applause] Wind. wind turb for another birdie >> at this point. Arlo, this is pretty routine for him. Flatstick is on fire the entire week. Follow this. >> Figure out any possible way he can to hit this lob witch close and ensure a par. >> [music] >> That >> was a very good lie. That first cut. Wind's got it blowing right a little bit. [applause] >> 28 under par to lead by >> a very impressive six shots. [applause] >> [music] [music] >> That was a fortunate bounce off the false front >> the individual and the team. >> We're used to it. Sand. [music] >> It is a master class. and out from the front edge. >> Wow. Sit down. >> Oh, good shot. That came down from the moon. Playing for it to release a little bit. Good shot. >> Putting into this breeze. Wow. Well, he has >> Lucas Herbert's third on 16. >> Oh, wow. It's just turns out to be an exhibition. >> Just extraordinary. >> Second hole. Laura, this is his third from the bunker. Oh, hello. [cheering] be one way to describe it. >> T- box here. What a viewing experience. Just watching greatness happen today. [music] We need to hit this. >> Catch it. No. >> Oh, just punches the wrong section. >> Are you serious? Well, this has been a superb performance from Hatton. >> Turl at 18. >> Hit hard. >> Oh, do something. >> Oh, not enough to carry up top. Oh, boy. >> That's not good. Oh, it's another great swing. Just perfect. >> Did that get up there? >> Did not see just hit a hard high one. 280 covers the >> perfect drive from huge. It's on the flat, David. It's perfect. >> Oh, catches the wrong side. >> Yeah, I'm with you, David. I would like >> [applause] >> Oh, I like that. >> You're kidding me. Oh, [applause] all hail Lucas Herbert. We have witnessed something truly remarkable from the Australian here this week. [applause] And after his historic round at Burdale last week, Herby has gone hypersonic at the JCP. He made three bogeies, but he bounced back impressively. [applause] gave it a good go price but he was always well [applause] played. It's a 63 for Till Hatton. [applause] Hatton carded a 9 under pass 63 and found himself further back than when he started this morning. Third place for Bryson, four under par today. Cam Smith, an excellent week for him after his streak of eight straight birdies yesterday. And the Aussies [music] have won the team contest. Got a little hairy towards the end, but they always had enough. 52 under four clear of Legion
