To your point, paul, if you give Mackenzie Hughes a wedge, a putter, you cannot count this man out. Smylie, hes leading the tour in holeouts this year. In 83 rounds, hes got 31 holeouts. Lets go to 16 quickly beforehand. Tom kims second. 165, slight bit of help. 8 iron. This is right, needs to go on this line. Misses that. Yeah, absolutely. Things suddenly unraveling here. Tom kim just so bummed. And now hughes comes up way short. Opens the door. Thats what Adam Scott did, that first cut is just so tricky. Thats amazing, the last ten minutes, how things have just swayed. The top americans, like you said, scheffler and schauffele, have stepped It Up. Just on the waters edge. Thats how Close Cantlay came to putting xander in the waer here. Its a good lie. He wants to muscle up on The Left side. That would be ideal. Tough shot to elevate. Choking way down. This is going to come up short. But okay there in the fairway. Now at 18 for birdie to win the match. You want this guy putting. Just
off what he had done at augusta national back in april or winning for the first time a major since 2008 it had been 11 years and he had that sterling performance here back in 2000 when he won by 15 shots the most ever so everybody was so excited about him coming back to pebble beach where he won twice and at&t championship as well as u.s. open but just to the to be for tiger this year because there s too many people to crawl over and he won t come back from 10 strokes behind. rick: but you mentioned brooks k epka trying to make history. does he look like he s in a position to take the lead and win his third straight? he looks really good. he just missed a birdie attempt right here as kepka is now playing on the ninth hole, so he will stay six under for the championship and he s really calm and just knows how to win in these circumstances and he s four behind, but if you re looking at that leader board, he s the guy that you have to keep your eye on because nobody is anticipating that
epka trying to make history. does he look like he s in a position to take the lead and win his third straight? he looks really good. he just missed a birdie attempt right here as kepka is now playing on the ninth hole, so he will stay six under for the championship and he s really calm and just knows how to win in these circumstances and he s four behind, but if you re looking at that leader board, he s the guy that you have to keep your eye on because nobody is anticipating that a three- time winner in gary wood land, three times having won on the pga tour championship and 10 years on the tour, he doesn t impress anybody coming into the tournament as the guy whose going to win so everybody will be looking for him to fatter, whether or not he does certainly nobody is rooting against him. rick: we ll have to leave it there. it looks like it s a little cold hang in there, buddy. 68. somebody has to do it.
it would be a birdie attempt which would be a 4 he goes into the water. he has the attorney to hit that fifth shot from where the ball went and he elected to hit from the other side . he didn t drop it accurately. he dropped it a yard or two away from where it was. a television viewer called in and overnight he was assessed this twostroke penalty because he said that he didn t put it in the place where it. initially they decided no penalty and ahim to sign his score cards and then this morning they had your intent by what you said in the interview to not put the ball in the same place and tiger accepted that penalty. he goes from making unlucky.
fairway on the first hole of the masters. the four-time masters champion hit his drive into the fairway, knocked his second shot within about 15 feet of the cup. his birdie attempt curled just wide. i bet you didn t know i knew that much about golf. that s according to the associated press. these are some of the pictures and others have noted that tiger woods shaved his goatee off as well. the white house is deploring the use of deadly force against demonstrators by security forces in kyrgyzstan. press secretary robert gibbs says the administration is urging calm be restored. it s now up to the u.s. senate to ratify a landmark nuclear treaty that president obama just signed earlier today with russia. in the treaty both countries agree to cut their nuclear warhead supply by one-third over the next seven years. nbc s chief white house correspondent chuck todd is in prague and obviously, chuck, this is monumental, historical. there is other business for these two men to discuss, includi
