Org] nick so both teams sensing theres a possible victory here. And just that little bit more adrenaline being applied, dottie. Dottie theres some serious grinding going on is whats happening. Nick you know darn well, like this putt for kisner. This could give them that cushion to maybe get it down the last three holes. A twoshot lead in this format. Dottie but a guy like cam smith, theres a spot in the players on the line. Nick absolutely. Dottie theres a lot on the line for these guys. Nick the good thing is theyre playing together in the same group so they know from the leaderboard that they are just about locked up one and two. There cant be much break in this. Dottie no. I would say right half of the hole with some speed. Nick oh, wow. Bill well nick it was up the hill. Just didnt quite so Cameron Smith has the one opportunity at 15 now to tie it. Bill four straight pars after that hot start. 17. Ian you can see the color of the green here. It goes a little uphill, a little downhill, a little uphill at the hole so it slows up as it gets close, and we saw that from cabrera earlier where he missed it short left with his shorter putt. Back one. Bill Cameron Smith for birdie. To tie the lead. Nick good free stroke. Oh, wow. Good effort. As you can tell, he knew he didnt do anything wrong with that one. Bill lets take another look. He thought this was going in. Hit it just where he wanted to. Nick yeah, that was a very good try. Bill shot a 62. On friday, in fourball, five under for this final round in that format. Nick more than likely going to need a big finish. Quite possibly could need three birdies to win it outright. Bill after starting the second nine with three birdies, thats the Third Straight par and they stay at 24 under. 16. Peter Jordan Spieth set to play and this is a putt weve seen a couple of times today. It doesnt quite break left as much as the players are seeing, unless its absolutely deadweight. Ryan palmer has already missed his birdie. Oh. How close can you come without it going in . I think about three feet from the hole he thought that was center cut. But unfortunately they stay three back with two to play. You heard him say dead center. Well take another look at it. Right about here, it looks perfect. It just dove at the hole. Cant control everything in golf. As much as wed like to. To 17. Ian trying to get to 22 under. Oh, and he, too, just slides it by. 102 in the fedexcup standings is kevin. Lots of fedexcup points on the line here in the closing stages. You see the winning team will share fedexcup first and second place so its 400 points each. 500 for first and 300 for second. Official prize money districted in the same manner and a full tour exemption through the 20182019 season. So thats the same as a regular event in so many ways. This young man, if he could win, hed be at the players as well in a couple of weeks time. Peter going with a long iron. Dottie something about 250 up the fairway would be plenty. Peter thats well played. Dottie and its so good when its windy. Even though its not now. It is quite the weapon when its windy. Peter there seems to be two types of golfers out here. Those that like the long irons and those that like the 5wood and it has to do with their golf swing. Jonas blixt going with a fairway wood. Imperative to find the fairway. Dottie bunker to the right. Water hazard to the left. Peter thats ok. Good angle from there. So they got the first job completed. Both balls in the fairway. Scott brown next to playoff. Also with a fairway wood. Dottie that ball starts right and is fighting to hang on. Peter i believe that might have been might have found the bunker. Not quite sure. Lets go to 17 first. Ian 9iron for ryan. Wow, exactly the same as kelly kraft. Just three or four yards too far to miss the little backspin. Peter kevin kisner now, on the tee at 16. And he is in the neighborhood of that bunker as well. So advantage to blixt and smith, at least off the tee. Weve seen some sue pressure approach shots sue push approach shots from that right side of that tee. Lets go to 18. Nick kelly kraft. Just about every group, bar one, is reaching this green in two. Bill right now theyre alone in fourth at 21 under. Kevin tway his partner. Nick watch the speed of this mans swing. Id like to get my right shoulder moving like that. Sheesh. Bill dad would be proud of that. Bill its nick its like a catapult. Bill back to 17. Ian they need to go birdieeagle. Should be a perfect 9iron for jordan. That was his club. Go, go, go. Ian well, he chipped in at the 14th. Maybe he can do it again. Bill this was earlier at 18. Etulain, from argentina. Paired with angel cabrera. Nick nice bit of controlled skid on that one. Bill heres angel. 47 years old. Almost 20 years older than his partner. Also giving himself a look. At the last. So kisner and brown leading by one coming down the stretch and well be back at the Zurich Classic of new orleans in just a moment. ,,,, peter were back at the 16th hole. Jonas blixt next to play. Dottie 128. 126 to get to the proper level. Coming in very high. Peter ooh, and thats going to spin back. That is wonderful. Inside of five feet for his birdie attempt. We see kevin kisners ball. He got it over the major bunker. Dottie he and scott brown are very close to each other and both have good lies. No problem at all. Peter is it a lie where they can put some spin on it . Dottie i think it is. Its in that area thats pretty well prepared. Its not shaggy like its been outside the attendedto area. Maybe too much spin. Peter didnt carry it far enough. Controlled the spin snow and icely but hell have probably outside of 25 feet for his birdie. Lets go to 1. Bill etulain. Ooh, gosh. Nick they missed a chance at 17 so leaves it all to the old man to save the day. [laughter] bill they shot a 63 on friday in this format. Lets go to 1. Peter scott brown ready to play. Dottie just a step closer than his partner. You peter this team has gone four straight holes with pars. To 18. Bill cabrera. Also misses it. Nick hell not be happy, two in a row. Bill back to 16. Peter cam smith ready to play. Dottie sand wedge. Peter his partner in there close already. Lovely rhythm with that swing. Just a little too much adrenaline perhaps. But he can actually putt that one from over the green if he chooses to. Lets go forward to 17. Ian just from the light rough is jordan. That club got a bit stuck. It wasnt a very good lie. So four feet left for the par to. 18. Nick no options here. You have to go for it. Look at the way this hole is set up. This could be a beautiful little fade up the middle of the green. Bill hes eyeing it closely. Nick what a super shot. Bill cleared the hazard and settles and hell have a nice look at eagle. Nick yeah, nice smile after that one. They are happy in that camp. No options to bail out on that shot. Bill 17. Ian they are very happy. Jordan spieth and ryan palmer would be happy if ryan could knock one in from here. Almost exactly the same putt that kelly kraft had and as i said earlier, everybody comes up short. 18. Bill kevin tway ready for his second shot. His partner is on the green. Nick doesnt carry that bunker. Really well placed, that bunker. Just splits the green in half. As you can see, theres no bailout. If you hit a good tee shot you have to really suck it up if youve got to go for the second. Theyre happy. Bill 17. Ian nick watney. He and hoffman too at 19 under. So they need a birdie at the last to knock out the 19s for next week. Peter Cameron Smith electing to chip it. And the rule is if you want to make birdie, you chip it. If you want to save a par, you putt it. Its a little bit safer so he is obviously trying to make birdie. Dottie pars arent going to get it done from here, peter. Peter nope, not at all. Now kevin kisner, i think, is the next to putt. Dottie this will actually be him standing over scott browns ball. Taking the reins as he has all day with the reads. Now scott will walk in. They didnt waste much time, ill give them that. Peter this should move a little bit left all the way. Dottie yes. Peter all right, good pace. He got it to the hole. Just underread by a little bit. To 17. Ian if it hadnt been for about five putts of this length or less yesterday, they might have been the ones in the lead. So a good up and down there for jordan. Just those short putts missed yesterday has cost them. 16. Peter all right, now kevin is ready to replace his baltimore and have a go at it. Not too much in this putt, is there, dottie . Dottie no, i think what spring break there is early and it would probably go to the right. If it lose is speed it will probably go further right but i dont sense a layup in this. Its time to make a statement about whos going to take this title. Peter thats going on the low side. This is kind of like a miler who got off to a really fast pace and is hanging on toward the end running out of gas vs. Somebody whos paced themselves trying to come on at the end and win the race at the tape. So it will be five straight pars for that team. Now it comes down this the sixth ranked putter on tour from five feet has a fivefooter for birdie. With a make percentage this year of 92 , dottie. So do you like it . Dottie wow, with those sort of numbers, its hard to argue, isnt it . But given the situation . Peter therein lies the rub. Dottie im not giving to it him but im not going to discount his chances either. Peter this is right in his wheelhouse but for the situation. As you would expect. He rises to the moment. And jonas blixt and Cameron Smith have now tied kevin kisner and scott brown at 25 under par. The 72hole tournament is coming down to the last two. Of course, a formally here. They gnus make one of these two putts to stay at minus 25. Scott brown first. Safely in. I think its absolutely remarkable, ian, as they make their way to your hole, that blixt and smith have gone bogeyfree for the entire tournament. Lets go to 18 first. Bill ryan palmer getting ready this par 5 finishing home. Hang in there, hang in there. Nick hes scraping it down the right edge by its teeth. Be greeted by an alligator on the other side thats got a pair of teeth as well. That is a great angle. Bill up ahead. Another one of those awkward stances for kevin tway. Nick a big downslope. Chunk and run and not enough chunk to make it run. He overchunked it. Bill right now theyre lon alone in fourth. Back on the tee, heres jordan. Just drills that. Theyre definitely thinking eagle to have any chance at all. Our leaders, both at 25 under par. Coleaders here in the final round to have Zurich Classic of new orleans. What we do every night is like something out of a strange dream. Except that the next morning it all makes sense. To power global ecommerce Fedex Networks are massive, farreaching and, yes. A little magical. Fedex. Com slash dream ian back at 17. The final grouping makes it here to the par 3. Cameron smith. Perfect distance and a perfect shot for Cameron Smith. What a kick start to his young career if he could win here. Up to 18. Bill and this was earlier. Kevin tway for birdie. Trying get his team in the house at 22 under. 17. Dottie same club, ian, for jonas blixt. 9iron. Ian is it turning enough . Beautiful, and the spin from the turn. Ah. Dottie two wonderful looks. Ian especially after that fivefoot percentage we heard at 26. Youd have to think theyre 26 under. 18. Bill and for eagle, kelly kraft. Nick if wirs the first one of the weekend at 18. Bill listen and thats good for 61. Nick i have a feeling knowing whats going on behind, kisner and brown are now going to halve 17 in two and finish 3, 4. Bill back to 17. Ian lets get the two first. Nick under pressure now, arent they . Ian immense pressure. Nick got to respond. Dottie that is heading right. Also a 9iron. Ian didnt quite get it. Ahill mishit. Which is rare. Dottie same club. Thats a good thump up the left side. Might have to be careful. Ian oh, no. Well, the pressure did get to them. I cant tell if they got lucky like jordans did from here. It could be close. It could be on that bank. Its thick rough down there and well be right back at the Zurich Classic of new orleans in this exciting action in just a moment. ,,,, bill back at the Zurich Classic of new orleans and were hearing that kevin kisners ball stayed up. Nick it cant be pretty down the bank. Anyway, jordan going with a lofted metal. Bill going right after it. Theyre three behind. Nick that is a bit too straight. Got to curve it in off that bunker. Jordan wants 100 out of every shot of the why not . Ian yes, i love his intensity. Bill back to 17. Oil ian brad fable. Pga rules official. Past player, back in my era. Just getting a confirmation there of the ruling. Thank you, brad. He was responsible for the second nine this week. Dottie of course, if hes in the line of the hazard, he cannot ground the club. Ian i cannot tell if its on the line. Dottie nor could i. It looks like from that shot it is on the line and if its on the line, its in the hazard. Brilliant. Ian beautifully done from a plug lie. Beautifully played. Nick it was buried in the paint mark, wasnt it . Ian it was. They had the lead. Out of the boxing 10 under through 11 holes. Everything was going along fine and then the pressure started to build and no birdies. Dottie you would have thought they would have flayed after play resumed but they didnt. They rode it through and then hit this bad start sort of stale patch. Nick ian its interesting. They set the course up quite short today. Nearly 400 yards but it doesnt matter. Short holes in this format, you have to make birdies. Its made it fascinating. These last six holes, if youre going to match each other, you have to step up and give credit to blixt and smith. They stood up at 17 and hit those two shots and really turned the screws on them. Ian two 61s and two 62s today. Gives kisner and brown a chance for another 61 you would think with a birdie at the last or here. The scoring has been great. How about it . No boy, hes been close the last four holes. Dottie really couldnt hit a better putt. Ian so it will be a par for kisner and brown as we go to 18. Bill listen and palmer. Ian ooh, careful. Bill jordan may be in the hazard. Not sure yet. And that is far right as well. Well await word on both of these players. Back to 17. Ian to take a oneshot lead. Every time at the country club in australia will be looking with great interest as young cam looks for his first victory on the pga tour. Just 2 years of age and an invitation into the players championship in a couple of weeks time and of course making his way to the masters and a victory on his credit. Theyre having a good time. Jonas blixt and Cameron Smith. His coach back in australia watching. Hes done a great job with him. Now, these two still need to make the par. About four
