ROYAL BIRKDALE – BREAK 75 Special! [Video]

0:00 | the amphitheater around the 10th green here sit back relax and enjoy I was

0:05 | trying to break down

0:11 | [Music] some good golf being played yeah

0:18 | that was ridiculously phenomenal oh it’s money

0:26 | been to win it could win yeah I think it is slam dunk straight in Gold it oh it

0:32 | hit the hole all right guys welcome back to break 75 I’m somewhere very exciting today Royal Birkdale home of many open

0:40 | championships and a true test of golf now in winter at the moment here in the UK there’s not many golf courses that

0:48 | are as good as this place right now it’s not just me trying to break 75 today we’ve got a couple of guests with

0:55 | all slightly different targets first off guy is back after having a little one

1:00 | yes the man is back yes he’s got sleep bloodshot eyes and uh first time you

1:06 | play golf in what about seven weeks I’ve not played golf for seven weeks but have been the range a lot and there’s been some very good signs however we’re at

1:13 | the range this morning to practice and I was spraying it so I don’t know what to expect but my goal is not break 75 it’s

1:19 | break 80. so we’ve got break 80 we’ve got break 75 but we need someone this

1:25 | side of us and there’s only one man for the job James Robinson

1:30 | how are you pal great thank you have you seen James from many a video whether it’s trying to break the course record

1:36 | up pastures or whether it’s playing with some wacky and unusual golf clubs I can find to test this x-tor Pro used to play

1:43 | who did play in the open but your target say well we’ve set it for you yeah because we thought we’d make for a great

1:49 | title and a thumbnail your task is to break 70. fingers crossed doable

1:56 | I think so I think so you’re so modest if I go and shoot 62 and go that was all right so

2:02 | sit back enjoy this phenomenal golf course it’s a little bit shorter just because it’s winter it’s 6 200 yards

2:08 | it’s bloody freezing all right it’s absolutely freezing you guys got driver I’ve got two iron

2:14 | play well play well play well enjoy sit back relax and enjoy I was trying to

2:19 | break burnt Dale now my I might jinx myself here I’ve played

2:25 | this golf course three times for the first time I birded this hole on the second time I burned this hill on

2:30 | the third time I made Birdie on this hole I think it’s I feel like this hole’s

2:36 | gonna bite me now and say nah there you go to the wind today

2:46 | that should be all right yep yeah a bit of the left

2:51 | I’ve got an alcohol nervous safe start I want to know what to be so while we’re on open venues only right you can open

2:57 | Pro V1 which let’s be honest I get lost probably quite soon I don’t feel confident this driver off the First Tee

3:03 | I think last time I played this hole I got double bogey so if I could beat that that’s a good start

3:09 | over that bunker little baby fade

3:15 | oh it’s money who is this one

3:22 | I actually become better than James Robinson at golf I don’t think I feel kind of like it’s early but I actually think I’m going to beat him today I’d

3:27 | actually take that shot

3:33 | oh yes yeah I’ll take that

3:40 | that’s quite simply fast guy that’s quite literally perfect right

3:46 | let’s go I mean what honestly this place is so so good there’s gonna be quite a

3:51 | bit of Maintenance going on the golf course again start of the year a lot of courses certainly like this that gets so

3:57 | much play during the summer months from not only members but also visitors from overseas they’ve obviously used this

4:03 | time to try and make some enhancements to the course um but yeah looking forward to it it’s

4:09 | always in very very good condition super dry and a true tester golf you know what I

4:16 | love James Robinson he’s a nice guy killed hate him as well he’s a great

4:21 | golfer he’s good looking he’s a family man he’s a full package I want to be James Robinson 219 yards into the second

4:29 | my second chance the first hole I should have been driving like the lads this is Into The Wind as well I’m gonna try and

4:35 | Rocket a four ride and Chase it up if I do continue this birdie streak on this hole

4:40 | well I want a pluck putting on that First Tee

4:47 | it’s a great strike it’s a bit right yeah it’s gonna be hard to get it on the

4:54 | Green from there

5:00 | just left of the pin near that bunk on the left got 162. I’m gonna hit a five iron

5:06 | straight into oh it’s a bit skinny

5:12 | okay this is my chance to keep the birdie room going on this hole

5:17 | a little shot over these two bunkers loads of green to work with

5:25 | hit it nice okay oh baby

5:31 | gave it a chance we’ve got a little knocking very good very nice

5:36 | I know I did bird yet it makes so much sense now it’s using a

5:41 | yellow ball like the other three times I was using the white ball Ah that’s what it is silly me

5:48 | we’ve got a little look tap in par hopefully

5:56 | down down soft shot from there pal get hard very tough

6:04 | little Lynx bump and run hello whoa this has got to be I think it’s possibly

6:11 | might be the hardest hole we play all day 432 yards straight back into wind and

6:18 | again kind of cold temperatures not making the golf ball travel very far so I think this out of all the holes

6:24 | we’ve played today might be the most demanding but you never know 17 more to go after this

6:32 | yes yes it’s practically it’s practically a gimme to be honest you look that way

6:42 | second one nicely done hold the bucket okay to join the lads

6:49 | and the nice part on the first

6:54 | yep yeah all the way easy hole easy easy level three one okay second hole

7:03 | par four wins off the right a couple of bunkers down the right side you want to be finishing the ball on great start to

7:10 | this golf course these first couple of holes are fantastic

7:16 | bit of wind yeah like that good ball

7:22 | wind yeah that’d be good

7:28 | oh it’s so good it’s so good

7:35 | I’ll do does it ever get boring

7:44 | where’s the excitement James okay got 180 yards to the flag I leaked

7:53 | myself happy issue my t-shirt but I leaked it a little bit to the right Ross some distance on these two they’re well ahead of me so into the wind a little

8:00 | bit off the right it’s gonna be a four iron tough golf shot this tough hole hard Golf Course need to really connect

8:05 | with this one Struck it really nice I don’t think

8:11 | that’s gonna be enough Club okay 160 to the PIN

8:16 | into a bitterly cold wind off the right I’m actually going to try and Chip a little six it’s probably normally an

8:22 | eight iron and I think I could muscle a six but as soon as it starts going up I think it’d

8:27 | come up short so I’m gonna try and play it safe left side of the flag a little six iron

8:33 | wind carry that bunker it’s gonna be short in it

8:39 | oh actually might be all right yeah that actually might work out A-Okay

8:45 | 145 gonna play a little chippy seven iron

8:51 | what’s good James travel needs to go yeah it’s all right similar spot to mine

8:58 | I think very close

9:03 | hit the flow ah God that’s quick a little bit racy all right James up for

9:10 | birdie mine and James has finished pretty much next next to each other a couple of feet and just managed to get

9:16 | closer than James so Jay’s gonna go first let’s crack open the birdie sauce nice and early James that’ll be lovely

9:23 | warm things up it’s not enough speed

9:30 | not enough speed weak come on for the first birthday

9:42 | go go go oh [Applause]

9:47 | in that account crack open the dirty sauce right okay I’m gonna try and

9:54 | follow him with the parcels I got your Latin then Rick it’s perfect yeah it’s good stayed up high

10:01 | thinned it thin the pot

10:09 | yeah nice so did that Meme of the uh darts I can’t speak

10:15 | [Applause]

10:22 | okay third hole par for wins now back off the left-hand side helping a little

10:28 | bit as James Wright just said we were considering what to hear and James went into the path for we hit driver and I

10:36 | like that strategy

10:41 | good shot should be fine yeah it’s good just in the semi yeah it

10:46 | might just be a little bit blocked out view of the green but by the way it’s like a hat

10:54 | Royal shirt now

10:59 | oh it’s the worst shot I’ve ever seen it hit pretty bad

11:05 | and it’s 10 yards off the Fairway goodbye

11:13 | yeah nice but that should be fine so me and James are quite right a little bit in this quite thick rough but decent lie

11:19 | about 70 yards the pin can’t quite see the flag so it’s a bit of uh bit of

11:24 | fluke on this bit of trust come out thin but that could be good

11:33 | uh just trickling away a little bit 24 72 can’t see the flag so we’ll have to

11:39 | give it a little jump still can’t see it

11:46 | there we go hit the fairways you can see the flag’s

11:51 | much easier

11:58 | feels good no idea maybe a touch right I’m guessing

12:03 | okay similar distance to James a little 70 yard uh 56 degree

12:08 | three-quarter swing

12:18 | yeah pin eye just a bit a bit too safe a bit too left

12:26 | oh wow oh that was in seemed to move really

12:33 | light quick across the hole slow down

12:41 | okay another well outside opportunity for birdie

12:46 | up the hill I’m trying to learn a little bit off the Ladson they’ve hit it quite a bit firmer

12:52 | than possibly planned

12:58 | it’s good for Speed oh had a good look man a little bit more speed

13:07 | the knee knocker this far away yeah well done pal would have bet my

13:13 | house on that what’d you bet on this [Laughter] my daughter’s playoffs I’m great

13:26 | okay par three fourth hole um obviously normally off the bat feeds

13:34 | this is a a long to Mid iron it’s actually a little bit shorter say 128 yards pins at the front but right back

13:41 | into the teeth of this sharp cold wind okay I’m gonna chip a little a tide in

13:46 | three quarter eight iron stay left side of the flag

14:02 | [Laughter]

14:12 | I was disappointed yes I think if that would have gone in there would have been lack of Celebration we would have been

14:18 | good good like running down the hole would have been like oh that’s that’s nice yeah great I believe it came out

14:25 | it’s been eight times the shot then I iron them on

14:32 | ah sorry oh stop wind yeah I shook it too well oh I’ll take it

14:38 | needed to thin it it’s not in the hole though it’s a great golf shot that’s a great I think that did actually go like

14:44 | it looked like it went in and out I think that class is a one

14:50 | a one and a half yeah

14:56 | strike wind oh this is in oh no it’s right of it now it’s a great job so I will try it great

15:03 | shot great shot three fantastically struck golf shots and three chances to burn it all right

15:09 | let’s have a look at this I think looking at the Drone footage replay it actually slammed in and then

15:15 | bounced back out Oh I thought it took us the sides by the looks of it it’s the ball’s there it’s

15:22 | just clean oh no damage in and out right three opportunities for birdie let’s knock all

15:28 | three in guy up first

15:35 | roll out scared I got really scared oh that’s terrible go on James knock it

15:42 | in oh

15:51 | all right ball let’s see if we can keep you down this time

15:58 | go go go go go solid path and now I had the line perfect there

16:08 | I have to take it

16:14 | had a little wobble there oh no yeah

16:20 | so fifth hole Par Four drivable even off the batsies that

16:26 | they’re short see today it’s definitely drivable in fact Ricky Fowler I played with recently almost had a hole in one

16:32 | on here last time the open was here that like ridiculously close are you hitting driver still oh is he trying to play me

16:38 | I’m just playing the Mind Games it’s ready to go I I don’t think it’s a full one of these I think it’s a soft driving

16:44 | Cutty driver um yeah I think it’s just a soft little cutty driver

16:52 | oh wow absolutely awesome

16:58 | all over the plaque there see the long go you know I think it’s good it looked 247.

17:07 | oh a different approach slightly left Get Lucky

17:14 | is that [ __ ] you’re going for I I always try and draw it not got that shot like you

17:20 | that weak little cut okay not the best start for me so it

17:25 | falls off the back here a little little cutty one little Eagle move on to the next

17:35 | oh should be right just left that brown shed things

17:42 | short shot from there okay 50 yards into the flag not the best lie in this roof but I’m

17:48 | glad I found it need to really kind of get a birdie here so let’s get this one close

17:58 | oh thinned it ah I really want to break my club I’m not going to break my club but I feel

18:04 | frustrated need to relax okay second shot into this hole I’ve actually flirted a little bit with the

18:10 | water I thought I was banging the line and I didn’t fade much more got a little bunker to contend with but not not an

18:16 | overly challenging shot just a little pitch

18:24 | yeah probably played it a bit too up in the sky I let the wind affect it and I

18:29 | shouldn’t have done should have kept it a bit lower we’re gonna look at birdie though slippery downhill feed it down there

18:40 | oh snooker oh no I feel bad sorry mate

18:54 | oh that’s really nicely played great shot guys from there got a nice so I’ve

19:00 | moved mine back to where it was if you ever confused about the real James can’t do anything with his unfortunately I

19:06 | feel uh foreign okay left to right down the hill

19:18 | try I know I thought yeah I kind of smashed it through the break a little

19:24 | bit there solid thank you

19:32 | oh yeah it’s just enough James that was golfing God to help him out I’m kind of

19:37 | glad you hold that I’ll be honest with you I did feel I felt bad yeah awesome Well Done big put this for me instead of

19:43 | the ship with a power

19:52 | great up and down right James with a birdie mean guy with pars scores on the doors

19:58 | of James is one under I’m one under guys two over big one six hole par five not

20:05 | playing ridiculously long but doesn’t mean it’s gonna be easy slight dug leg peeling to the right we hit him straight back into the sun which we’re definitely

20:12 | not complaining about because we’ve not seen the big bright ball in the sky for a while

20:17 | foreign [Laughter]

20:28 | I didn’t see well I only saw the initial flight it was going about like a drawing it was it was it was like one o’clock

20:35 | starting point yeah I’ll draw back that is this is howling out loud okay driver

20:42 | trust just the edge of that bunker that’s perfect for me is it left

20:48 | slightly left might run out of Fairway that on that line I didn’t I didn’t push it so I think if

20:55 | it’s in the Rock it’s just running that’s just right in the bunker cutting

21:03 | it’s fine let’s go sun shining quality Golf Course

21:10 | decent decent company so decent tea shop for me and from Rick

21:15 | not ideal but decent James absolutely bummed one he knew the line he went for the tiger

21:20 | line he pulled it off I’ve got 200 yards left in he will have like 170 max

21:26 | bit of Breeze into again I’m gonna go for a four iron up the right side

21:31 | quite tough with this bowlable feet as well so really to focus on strike and just try and connect with something

21:37 | half decent

21:45 | that was one of the best strikes of my life get up

21:50 | I’m not gonna lie that was for me a 10 out of 10. Eagle Champs coming right up second insurance is power five after a

21:57 | bit more of a conservative tee shot the left-hand side we’ve got a lovely viewing this green pins play in 220 yards but slightly back

22:04 | into a breeze I’m going to try and like almost chip a two iron land on the front edge of the green let

22:11 | it run to the back left leg

22:16 | Mr bunker

22:21 | ah didn’t catch it bunker short ah bad bad golf shot

22:28 | really bad shot so after taking the tiger line it’s these guys didn’t agree with got

22:34 | 174. so I’m gonna chip a five iron into that wind

22:39 | oh nice thin that might be really good

22:44 | to win oh nice shot mate one F4 Pro X topro what we still talk about our eyes

22:50 | thins it it’s like when we fit it it still goes right down the pipe and gives them an eagle chance

22:55 | yeah you’re gonna be a tour profile video for the rest of your life

23:01 | hold on let me just take my antibiotics I’ve got an infection on my hip yeah

23:06 | we’re so tired bro still at All Pro okay third shaft to finding the bone

23:11 | crafter a really weak second shot um quite a big bank and quite a big

23:16 | distance to go to be fair as well so I’m gonna do my best to try and get it all the way back there

23:22 | now I’ll be honest with you I honestly can’t remember last time I hit a bunker shot it feels like it’s been a while and

23:27 | that’s not for the meat that’s not meaning that I’ve not been in any bunkers

23:33 | I’ve only really been hitting shots at a driving range anyway let’s try and get it back there

23:48 | yep [Laughter]

23:55 | it looked like it pitched the

24:00 | oh man [Laughter] welcome to Lynx golf

24:06 | ah right this actually hasn’t sat particularly very nicely here either

24:18 | foreign

24:27 | actually got on the green which is good it’s about Eagle chance in reality though I really wanted to put and get a

24:33 | birdie that would be really good to help them score um however there’s Auto chance for a three foot path so fingers crossed it’s

24:39 | coming off the left a big slope speak to James before again off camera he’s talking so much about Pace getting

24:46 | the pace close just getting inside that kind of Dustbin lid as we say so a bit of line off the left we know that but

24:52 | just nice pace and get the two put

25:01 | pretty much yeah yeah other mate

25:07 | very Saucy nice okay put for par after that little

25:13 | disaster in the bunker go go

25:22 | ah silly six that’s a level par it was inevitable wasn’t it let’s be

25:27 | honest right the the first or Eagle to get Eagle sauce yeah what color is the

25:33 | sauce whatever color you want my friend blue and orange blue blue sauce if it

25:39 | goes in the first eagle it breaks 75 20 23.

25:52 | sorry we’ll save the sauce it should be it should be

25:57 | I’ll get another

26:02 | wow I love this all yeah I’m realizing that I’m about wrong with Birkdale it’s sick isn’t it beautiful isn’t it I knew

26:09 | it was good [Laughter]

26:18 | right after six holes the scores are on the doors I’m now about to level par

26:24 | after that stupid bogey on the last bit of anger in there yeah a little bit bit of a stupid one you’ve made birdie there

26:30 | see about two and one over now so my goal what power is this it’s passing me two fly candy seven over and I’m now one

26:36 | after six so fingers crossed famous last words it’s tracking the break 80. yeah you’re on track James

26:42 | I need to keep going I’m too under par but playing all right keep going past 72

26:48 | so if he’s too underpower shoots 70. so yeah you’ve got to make technically he’s gotta make a birdie okay seventh hole

26:53 | path three 140 yards slightly elevated T pin wins off the

26:58 | right pins on the right there you go away James I’m hitting a nine I’m just gonna try and hold it on the Wind maybe

27:04 | a little bit of drawer on it okay see if we can get slam dunk some dunks are good keep it in the hole this time

27:16 | I thought that might be a bit too much Club although it’s perfect for yardage

27:23 | back oh it’s very fat travel on the Wind yeah very far

27:33 | quality strike going for a ride all right sit new wow

27:39 | stop stop another bunker oh no okay welcome to

27:45 | Royal Birkdale okay nice bump and run got a little pitchy bump and run over this bunker

27:52 | I’ve got it within a couple of feet and we’ll just knock in the par and we’ll move on

28:01 | a little bit too much spin sharp okay I found myself in the back of this bunker it landed on the green and then with the

28:08 | spin and the wind it’s finished down into the back edge of this bunker oh it’s going to be tight but

28:16 | oh my very nice shot laugh at that so after that not easy

28:26 | oh James she’s a good pork great wrong that’s a good pot a little bit too much paste

28:37 | give my birdie straight back to Birkdale

28:43 | all right not a lot of breaking this pretty straight

28:51 | Port insert meme oh I thought I was going to catch enough of

28:57 | it ah I’m lucky

29:02 | come on James out

29:08 | [Music] okay eighth hole and the Robert as you’d

29:14 | imagine is always striving to get better therefore there’s got a little maintenance on a couple of the greens

29:19 | this being one of them it’s actually a temporary green now to you guys in America you don’t even know what those

29:24 | things are temporary greens quite simply it’s a hole in the Fairway short of the green they use it if they’ve got a bit

29:30 | of Maintenance to work on so that’s what we’re doing today it makes the hole shorter but it typically makes putting a

29:35 | touch harder foreign

29:42 | [Music]

30:04 | that looks a decent ball are you filming now

30:17 | 50p golf ball oh there’s one there is it

30:23 | okay mounting the hazards I’ve taken a drop third shot

30:30 | bite that was very hard to actually understand how far away it was it’s been a winter

30:36 | green but we crack on never mind right after hitting Drive I did think I was

30:42 | going to get there must have got snagged up in this roof on the left James in Prime position he only hit three wood so

30:47 | I’m a bit confused about how I didn’t get there but never mind don’t need to worry about I need to

30:52 | worry about getting up and down now temporary greens I mentioned it’s like chipping into the Fairway sometimes hard

30:58 | to predict how it’s going to react how it’s going to roll how it’s going to bounce it’s a little bit of luck needed

31:03 | here but I’ve got a landing spot I’m going for and let it roll down to the green

31:18 | settle down settle down sit quick thinned it

31:26 | a little chip and run onto the winter and get some birdies going

31:35 | ah it’s way short get going get going get going it’s done better than I thought right after a pretty horrendous

31:42 | chip I’ve got this now for my third I’m gonna put it

31:49 | [Music] oh great speed doesn’t it rick yeah

31:59 | pop up it’s a good winter

32:05 | some greens in Manchester like this right for a birdie

32:14 | okay you can break ah didn’t break excuse me

32:25 | a bow okay I need this one to stop us

32:36 | yeah okay for a little sweep up for a par

32:42 | hold up yeah solid yeah made it hard work but too pop from down there should

32:48 | have put the second my second shot set the scene James kind of trying to work out the line we drive a straight

32:54 | downwind 400 yards thinking it’s like over the middle of this tabletop in front of us this mound

33:02 | blind tee shot so off memory I think that’s a good line

33:08 | I don’t think you’re wrong ninth hole back to the clubhouse

33:18 | that’s perfect James okay I’m gonna try and Chase the two iron down there Leave myself a slightly

33:24 | longer shot into the screen

33:31 | should be good no hold it right maybe feel grenade okay

33:38 | okay foreign

33:43 | that’s on the next hole I feel like it’s in the middle of the next hole Yeah

33:49 | Okay so mine rightly so as James said wasn’t the right line I thought it was going to be

33:55 | bang gone but it’s a bit more to the right in the rough guys out to the right he’s fine safe not far at all to the

34:01 | flag James in A1 position of course he is he’s over the Fairway just over this

34:06 | hill so I’ve got 144 yards to go into the flag you can just see the flag in front of the wonderful Clubhouse here at

34:12 | Royal Birkdale I’m gonna go with a pit too much

34:19 | wind oh it’s gone big

34:25 | 110 yards to the flag I’m going to put like a three-quarter 54 degrees a lot of

34:30 | wind behind it should help it get there really could do the at worst of power but I’d love a birdie

34:37 | here I really would

34:48 | that big oh honestly I thought that was like in the hole or something it’s huge

34:53 | so good tea shop 89 yards down off the right so I’m going to try

35:00 | and nip a lob wedge and uh battered it needs to go

35:05 | Big Bounce run not so good on the green so mine landed just past the flag and it’s

35:13 | clambered down into this horrible little spot guys pitched within just a couple of feet of the flag and he’s had the

35:20 | same issue they’ve both come down into this little fall off area behind the back of the ninth where for the open

35:26 | there’d probably be a big grandstand yeah God that was difficult

35:31 | two little tricky shots here back up onto the plateau wind’s helping us because it’s back into

35:37 | but oh there’s the pin there’s the pin don’t you recognize chances are on this

35:42 | chip it looks like his chipping’s improved a lot so I think it’s quite good into the wind uphill which needs to

35:49 | be aggressive

35:56 | [Music]

36:03 | without you hitting a shot you nearest oh

36:13 | okay so this is there a big shot really I could really do get

36:19 | this up and down I’m currently three over par to finish the front nine free over would be okay

36:28 | now terrible

36:33 | it’s got to go quite downwind so I thought it’d be rapid it is oh yeah to

36:38 | be honest I didn’t think he was going to get there a big pot this one oh that was in

36:46 | oh no right for a Bogue and to finish this

36:51 | front nine two over par come on

36:57 | she’s getting a big push big push

37:03 | oh silly double on the ninth hole there I was pressing for a birdie

37:10 | couldn’t have done anything worse

37:15 | yeah never endowed thank you what was that for now James minus two two on the

37:20 | par I’m three over I’m in a slightly uncomfortable position now where I’ve got to shoot

37:27 | on the path on the bat nine to break 75.

37:33 | here we go Batman battle commands

37:39 | looks like a good ball yep

37:45 | the action bigger boat

37:58 | good strike oh be good

38:05 | I’ve got 74. so the second shot into his part four

38:10 | looking at it from the T we could have actually been a lot more aggressive for the green

38:16 | um certainly playing off the slightly forward tees 74 yards after seeing guys it just

38:22 | trickle back I’m gonna try and fly it just past the flag hopefully

38:30 | get there the shot right

38:35 | so a little bit closer 64 yards I play a little gap wedge

38:42 | go ball oh too low

38:49 | such a bad pot go

38:56 | go go go go [Music] all right guys so while we’ve got time

39:02 | let’s have a look appreciate the architecture the amphitheater around the

39:07 | 10th green here right left side come on Shields

39:12 | let’s get a birdie bounce back birdie

39:19 | yes get that sort out very nice

39:28 | eleventhal path or slight dug leg left a few bunker scatter in the middle of the Fairway left and right to capture any

39:35 | slightly off-centered hits Mike from this CBL to actually carry those which back into wind

39:50 | just kind of in that bank oh foreign

39:58 | left going left that’s the second worst shot I’ve ever seen you hit they’re all coming out today

40:07 | well we’ll find out if you carry him yeah it’s good yeah perfect shot sorry how

40:14 | rude of me I didn’t uh rate or comment on the halfway house Cuisine I just went for a

40:20 | beef and tomato soup I know quite shock new man in 2023

40:25 | that was mainly because they had no sausage rolls in but it’s definitely warmed me up because this chili back nine approaches

40:34 | get left all right

40:40 | very average that okay I found it but it’s not particularly nice it’s on the side of

40:45 | this sun dude uh 101 yards straight back into wind it’s going to be

40:53 | an awkward stance ah

40:58 | ah okay just go for safety right side of the

41:04 | green is the plan I can either get a stamped

41:18 | that was ridiculously phenomenal I got James and Guy saying oh nice they

41:24 | didn’t understand the severity of how difficult that was okay so after a big pull left 82 yards

41:34 | looks good sit down a bit maybe sit down it’s good like it right James what have

41:41 | you got in the bag at the moment so I’ve got a TSR 383 driver tsr33 wood TSR

41:49 | three five wood and T100 irons with everyone always asks about the

41:56 | shafts KBS dollar taper 125 there’s like an S Plus that and then I’ve got bulky

42:03 | wedges personalized with a little Jr a little up and down logo not getting so many up and downs today but we’re trying

42:10 | Rusty ones and then Scotty Cameron putter it’s a new Port 2 that I use

42:18 | it’s not so low and fast pathetic okay after a pretty

42:25 | even if I say so myself pretty phenomenal second shot off that bank we’ve got a big swinging right to left

42:31 | Port guys gave me a bit of indication just how severe that swing that put is gonna swing

42:39 | oh yes

42:51 | really good [Music]

42:57 | now what I’ve got to miss my

43:04 | okay A little sweep up for a park a great Pub thank you

43:13 | par three 12th beautiful little hole again a

43:18 | little bit of Maintenance work being done to the bunkers but it’s just such a I mean it’s a tiny little green it’s very long and thin

43:25 | how far is the PIN James one three two okay see what you can do

43:34 | I’ll be in the maintenance oh bunker

43:39 | when go go go it’s like 50 yard shorts

43:49 | that was nice stuff oh beautiful nice shot guy okay after a

43:56 | terribly struck wedge shot I’ve rolled right back down into the Little Valley I can’t be the only player because

44:02 | there’s a couple of bunkers here which are probably designed to catch a few guys out it’s got a good little wedge

44:08 | shot up that hill

44:13 | okay mate commit to it

44:18 | that is definitely a part of my game I need to work on this year

44:26 | no go a bit yeah good effort good speed I should have putted the first attempt ah

44:34 | I’ll get there it’s after being very fortunate finding the guar bunker having a bit of Maintenance work

44:41 | dropped it here so see if we can get up and down a little nippy lob wedge required

44:46 | off isn’t it not good it’s catching it’s contagious oh all right come on guys show us how

44:53 | it’s done on this old pal

45:05 | sit sit so so back off the green huh rapid

45:12 | but that is what a good player does wow

45:24 | that was a proper orbit around the cup

45:31 | very nice oh damage limitation

45:38 | could have been a lot worse than before obviously but oh that’s a bit of a mistake come on guy

45:46 | [Laughter]

45:52 | oh my God that’s a four port double bogey

45:58 | I’ve seen world number one do that so guys thanks for watching today

46:03 | oh it’s fine I’ve always said this holds the Harvest oldest golf course it’s 130

46:09 | yard far foot probably

46:15 | Five Thirteen shots

46:20 | [Music] that’s a great Drive

46:26 | wow some Venom in that one yeah I’ll take

46:31 | that one 13th hole famous for this where Spieth try to blow it away back in 2018

46:38 | or 17 was it 80s 70s 17. we tried to

46:43 | wait smashed it off the bats he smashed it over to the right onto the tour trucks where he tried to wait smashed it

46:50 | off the bats he smashed it over to the right onto the tour trucks and made an incredible team of nusty

46:56 | yes I know yeah the year after James played in the open he didn’t know can you show everyone your ball marker

47:01 | actually waiting for this this is my moment

47:09 | oh not hot shot it’s okay that

47:16 | it’s actually left it up little ditch in it yeah

47:23 | you’re right next to me oh it came out really weird

47:32 | that came out so weird okay bizarre t-shirt I’ve been hitting my driver really well all day but at least

47:38 | this one a little bit to the left into this kind of satin scrape down the left-hand side 160 yards to the

47:45 | front of the green 180 pin I’m just gonna try and get it up muscle up to the front of the green I’ve got a Titan it’s

47:50 | gonna be an awkward lie [Laughter]

48:04 | oh shoot a bit more Club tried to muscle it there with an eight did not work third shines this hole I’m

48:13 | having a speed on a speed moment see if we get up and down from here 125

48:18 | yards I’m gonna try and finish pin High slightly right

48:25 | oh no where are you going ball

48:30 | where are you going Ball come back put this so far right oh having a mess

48:36 | having him there so after a nice drive I’ve got 114 yards

48:42 | so we’re going to play a little 52. we need to get that shot back

48:49 | is that it is it the yardage nope it’s short oh and it’s fun

49:01 | okay after a bad tee shot terrible second shot poor third shot

49:07 | I’ve got this across the green on top of the spine put

49:13 | for a four

49:19 | I actually can’t believe that’s not broke left

49:28 | yeah go put my right Robbo serious player as me and guy have been having our adventures on this hole this is for

49:35 | birdie 30-footer it’s a very slim chance come on it’s about time you brought a bit of a golf

49:41 | game to this video I’ll try mate all right

49:47 | no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no

49:52 | instead of hate bogeys that was awesome right thank you

50:00 | nice all starts with positive

50:13 | okay 148 downwind off the right I’m gonna try and Hammer a wedge

50:19 | [Music] foreign

50:35 | strike it better

50:42 | should be there certainly got the height it’s on the line as well oh Beauty

50:48 | from the shop thank you oh that struck

50:54 | oh the wind’s coming nice this is in spin left spin left oh yeah golf shot okay so

51:01 | again found another gur on another path three with another 46 in

51:07 | my hands so it’s not going very well that club I think they’ll often line must be done on it or something so

51:14 | face with a little floppy one now over the bunker downwind off a tight lie so wish me luck

51:23 | release quite a nice nipped up okay birdie puts a mean guy I’m just under

51:29 | the hole putting uphill guys just past the hole putting downhill

51:34 | no look at that again not enough wind for birdie to get back to three over par

51:39 | with just a handful of holes left up the hill I don’t see a lot of breaking this

51:44 | I’m gonna put it straight go go

51:50 | just speed is it half of it yeah

51:57 | in for three I’ll save

52:07 | yeah we’ll tied it up yeah right guys four to go current

52:14 | scores on the doors and four over to break 75 I’ve got to shoot two on the path from this point

52:20 | Dames and two on the path so from this point you’ve got to see the birdie you’ve got to shoot one more birdie guy

52:25 | I believe I made it over if that’s wrong we’ll put a thing there I would also need a birdie yes so birdies needed

52:32 | power fives coming up 15th par five as you can see

52:38 | as you can see we can’t see we’re absolutely straight back into the sun

52:44 | don’t cookware biggest problem with that yeah sorry

52:52 | is you’re almost trying to like keep an eye on it yourself

52:57 | [Music] yeah block cup right

53:03 | I’ve seen it down yeah it’s not might be findable

53:09 | yeah great ball draw straight down the sun you’re probably one of the one of the twin plays we’ve ever seen on the

53:15 | channel what would be some advice you’d give the amateurs about playing in wind I think with most amateurs they

53:21 | underestimate how much the wind will affect the shot I mean today it’s like it’s almost overpowering the slopes if

53:28 | that makes sense so it’s the main thing that you’re thinking of certainly into the wind I mean like 150 yards I’d normally be

53:35 | hitting like a 99 where today I’ve hit like up to six iron to try and hit that shot so I’m not

53:42 | necessarily trying to think of it as a new yardage so say 150

53:47 | into the wind I’m trying to play is like 190 but I’m more thinking of the trajectory that I’m trying to play

53:53 | keeping the flight down and just trying to create a shot and even if it’s like a

53:59 | 50 60 swing I’m just trying to create that flight that uh balls through the

54:04 | wind and gets me on the green like I’m not trying to force the ball too low I’m generally just one of those guys that clubs up a little bit and tries to

54:10 | smooth it a lot of guys try to force like a pitching wedge too low where it’s just easier to get an eight iron and

54:17 | just put a really smooth shorter swing on it just slow that clubhead speed down so it takes the spin

54:22 | off the ball and then it just cuts through the wind much easier for seven iron to try and get it somewhat back into there

54:28 | Golf Course

54:34 | okay second shot into this part five after tugging my tee shot to the left it’s very difficult to see now the sun’s

54:40 | dropping fast bunkers down there are plenty I’m about 280 yards away from the green so I’m just gonna

54:46 | my ideal Miss is kind of down that left hand side I’m gonna try and just draw it from the

54:52 | middle of the Fairway down the left Leave myself a full shot in

54:58 | yeah that’s pretty alright that 208 to the flag I’m gonna hit a three iron

55:03 | it’s going slightly into off the right

55:09 | come in needs to get left quick strike at all nope shocking a little bit short right

55:16 | 116 yards from the flag pitching wedge three-quarter pitching wedge I’d love to get this one closed I

55:22 | could really do that birdie this is my time this is my chance but that’s worst case let’s get the

55:28 | power come on be enough Club

55:35 | yeah that shot not bad okay 100 yards little gap wedge just keep it pin high

55:42 | right is the goal come on Rick good shot in Sisk green oh don’t go left where are you going

55:49 | it’s got massive left ah so after a poor Korean

55:55 | cup I’m gonna try and play a chip and run pitching wedge here quite a lot of right to left on this we need a birdie

56:05 | release great shot okay fourth shot into this

56:12 | green really need to make something happen here and that ain’t it

56:19 | that is not it

56:26 | drop yes it goes in months finally

56:31 | finally get that sauce a big sauce up that’s a proper speed

56:37 | pick that one out the hole great for par much needed

56:44 | we’ll go get in get in yes [Laughter] go get that

56:49 | oh scruffy five book keeps me in the hunter breaking 75 with two par fives

56:55 | left to go come on James yeah well done I guess the three under

57:05 | okay hole number 16 we’ve got a par four then two par fives we’re all gonna make path birdie eagle so should be good to

57:13 | watch till the end great drive very nice yeah win just

57:20 | bring it back a little bit more that’s good and now it’s perfect

57:26 | yeah wow yeah delayed draw

57:33 | all right four over three to play Knee two birdies

57:49 | slightly off to the right in my t-shirt but not a bad approach into this green 128 yards slightly back into Breeze

57:58 | um I actually lose a bit of control out this roof gotta factor that in a couple

58:04 | of bunkers short right oh God the safe place to miss left but I’ve kind of got to force of Birdie I’m gonna

58:10 | go out the pin if the wind brings it right to the left it should be absolutely fine oh it’s gone off off the face

58:18 | travel a lot ball we’re on the green but it kind of sat up

58:24 | a bit too nice on that roof

58:32 | the outside it’s okay pin eye right okay I’ve got 96 yards uphill

58:39 | a little bit into off the right I’m gonna use my 46 which have been absolute demon with today

58:48 | when they’re safe yeah next to guys good job

58:53 | okay very very very long third shot into this

59:01 | pin I don’t quite know why I’m lining it up it’s all about distance control here

59:08 | up the hill slightly right to left

59:17 | great pace simmer

59:25 | it’s a very good Port oh nice yeah great pot

59:34 | be in yeah Robinson very very good well done

59:40 | thank you thank you for the life come mate well I don’t miss that’s a back

59:54 | because it’s so fast it’s quite hard to gauge isn’t it two par fives to finish

1:00:01 | four under par Three Wood off the table safety and

1:00:06 | there’s already rattling guys finish strong beautiful ball

1:00:14 | step one Mega we’ll take that I am seven overpassed if I par these

1:00:21 | last two holes that’ll be a 79 which will break 80. that was the goal uh a bird in a power would be phenomenal a

1:00:26 | bird in the birdie would be sensational oh it’s a bit leaky

1:00:32 | bit leaky right so I need Eagle Eagle no not quite well I’m far over par my

1:00:40 | mission says to shoot 75 so under 75 so that means I do actually need two birdies on these final two par fives uh

1:00:47 | so I’m just gonna go for it oh it’s a bit leaky

1:00:52 | right yeah it’s fine good A bit leaky yeah

1:01:03 | pretty good it misses all the traps yep should be good

1:01:13 | go stay left as well bunkerish okay

1:01:20 | second insurance is part five famously when Padre Harrington won here he was

1:01:25 | further back granted but off the bat tease as well hit like a five wood to about two foot and not to him for Eagle

1:01:30 | on his way to Victory we’ve got a bit shorter internet I’ve got 106 75 yards I’m gonna try and smash

1:01:36 | a seven iron but I’ll tell you what I would would not mind a little Eagle here now

1:01:41 | come on it’s fine Target really good golf shot oh

1:01:47 | get there get there get there straight up there

1:01:52 | lovely shop oh 10 yards short of perfection it’s on the green we’re

1:01:58 | putting for Eagle but that could have got very very very close probably should have faxed it in a

1:02:04 | little bit colder weather as we’re finishing up we are racing against the time of light

1:02:10 | a little bit here as well meant to do that

1:02:17 | I’m really a brilliant thing to win yeah

1:02:23 | okay so tricky bunker shot now we have to get very very cute here try and land it right on the top and let

1:02:30 | it release down or running away from me no green it’s a wide open Club face

1:02:37 | great shout stay s cuter not a bad shot okay

1:02:46 | an eagle opportunity here on 17. up the hill

1:02:52 | so I’m gonna fall to the left come on I feel like I’ve been putting

1:02:58 | quite nicely all day let’s see if we can knock one in and then break hard whoa

1:03:06 | that was a bit of a misread but you go left in it

1:03:14 | yep yes boom work yes

1:03:24 | oh James Robinson ridiculous lap of Honor ridiculous right

1:03:31 | I best join you lad yeah come on Rick that’s in the evening for my score I don’t think it’s a lot in this just

1:03:36 | slightly falling off the left downhill

1:03:41 | oh

1:03:47 | yours lips in yours lips in mine lips out hey

1:03:52 | how is that fair how is that fair oh I need to Eagle the last now

1:03:59 | five under one to play about five you can hit you pretty good so

1:04:04 | let’s try and get one in play wind’s housing off the left oh so good

1:04:12 | you redeemed all those terrible shots you’ve hit today with that one James

1:04:23 | though over that a little cut I’m going to use the wind whereas James Stewart

1:04:28 | into it I’m going to kind of fade it with the Wind a little bit too much

1:04:36 | right I need to make eagle it’s about 75

1:04:42 | par five though we’ve got better chance than most Smash It Down the left Let It Go I’m not

1:04:47 | here even though I’ve hit the driver okay today I’ve not hit a single Fairway so let’s try and finish with a fairway

1:04:53 | shot

1:05:02 | stay in the far away stay in the Fairway I don’t I don’t know if it as you know still this is what I mean all day long

1:05:09 | I’ve hit driver okay I’m like one two three four five yards off the Fairly

1:05:17 | anyway we’re gonna make Eagle that’s our job 200 yards back to the pin here wins off

1:05:24 | the left hand side helping a tiny bit um

1:05:29 | all right between clubs adrenaline’s pumping though so I’m gonna go one less and try and crush it there

1:05:35 | birdie gets me in at 75 eagle gets me in at 74 obviously simple maths

1:05:42 | there’s five Windows there just left of the flag I’m gonna go on the furthest left window and let the wind bring it back

1:05:48 | come on Rick finishing Style if it’s there it’s good

1:05:54 | if it’s there it’s good go go go front edge the front edge just

1:06:00 | shy a little bit gotta pull at it got about 201 yards or so to the flag but

1:06:06 | 185 to the front so I mean the five iron wins off the left let’s try and get up onto the green or

1:06:12 | it’s not on the Green close and then we can get up and down for birdie

1:06:19 | oh no it’s well right oh no 183 window into off the left so try and rip

1:06:27 | a six iron trying to finish with an eagle oh be God straight at it be good be the

1:06:35 | number oh great shot James right

1:06:41 | quite a bit shorter than I hope to be on this final hole

1:06:46 | and I’m in that horrible yardage for me in front of the clubhouse Clubhouse

1:06:51 | looks busy so I’ll be able to commit a meeting I’m sure

1:06:56 | as they’re watching or eating the food they’re watching this video being made thinking oh Rick’s

1:07:03 | going to flick a little little lob wedge under here and just nip it in grab it next to the pin and knock it in for

1:07:08 | birdie that’s what you think wouldn’t you right I so wish I could play that shot

1:07:16 | uh I think I have to put it

1:07:21 | oh baby be good for 74 . go in go in oh what a great effort

1:07:29 | great great put the clubhouse they all stand up and
