originally. now he's going to chip a 6. jim: bourque, the experienced caddie trying to steer his man home. dottie: on a very similar lie to what it was in regulation, out to the right. jim: trickling. that's still moving. nick: that will help tremendously it comes back down. that's a huge, huge help. i wouldn't say break but just -- that would mean 15 foot of break. jim: so peter, your first report was this was a nasty lie. peter: that's with all capital letters and an exclamation point. he's got 147, but you can only go with so little loft. otherwise the lie won't let you get the ball out. i'm not sure he can get this to the green. nick: if he can just get it five yards on. peter: he took it on but that's going to find the front bunker. jim: he says ok. yeah, you can see how hard he went after that. tried to muscle out of it the best he could from the thick hay. here's the lineup tonight on cbs. "60 minutes," back-to-back episodes of "madam secretary," and "elementary," on america's number one network, cbs. so william mcgirt, born in lumberton, north carolina. now lives in boiling springs, south carolina. graduate of wofford college. he and his wife sarah, two children. miles cameron, he's 3 years old and they just had a little girl late from 2015, baby girl, caroline. that's a good lie for him there. nick: yeah, that's straightforward, straight up the hill. no serious break to have to deal with and he's played a couple of very nice bunker shots. the one at 17, a beautiful shot there. this one is very doable, isn't it, peter? peter: it is, however it's one of those damp sand areas from the rain we had. he'll have to factor that in, plus, he's only got a couple of steps over the ridge. will he elect to take it past the hole and let the slope bring it back? nick: i wouldn't have thought so. i would think try and chunk it to the bottom of the ridge and get to it bobble over. you would still leave yourself an uphill putt just in case. jim: barbara joining jack greenside at 18. understanding just how meaningful this is going to be. really, i was going to say to one of them but it's going to be for both of them. nick: absolutely. jim: although, mcgirt has been a runner-up before. curran in rarefied air on the pga tour. just his second year. peter: the difficulty here is going to be reeleding this lie correctly and applying the proper amount of force to the sand. jim: spin, and slope. how about that? nick: that had a touch of cirque du soleil in that one. go for the full crowd reaction. jim: he was about to run out of real estate on the back of that green. nick: yeah. jim: that was really good. nick: come on. jim: he's giving some firm instructions here. there's the beautiful trophy. so jon curran, he has had a runner-up finish but it was in an alternate field event down at the puerto rico open. you're talking about a tournament here that began the week with the top three in the world all coming off wins in their most recent start. dustin johnson, bubba watson, phil, rickie. a loaded field. and here he is. he could win it right here. he could win it right here. nick: oh, what a fabulous try. jim: he's a grinder. everyone who knows him will tell you that. his coach at vanderbilt, tom shaw, who's now the coach at abilene christian says he's a mental bulldog. won't let go. he'll keep after it. he's going to go ahead and finish out here for the four. nick: that's good thinking. that will put pressure on will. he's got to make the little downhiller to tie. i'd expect jon to be well-organized. he studied at vanderbilt in the department of human and organizational development. so he's got his wits about him in this pressure situation. jim: well, he may want to get organized because if mcgirt makes this putt they're going to go right back and play this hole again. nick: well, he could play it exactly the same again and will would obviously like a better tee shot. jim: peter kostis is standing down green side. the pressure aside, what do you have here? peter: the situation takes out a lot of the break. just keep it inside the hole and hit it solid. nick: inside left. jim: there you go. unflappable. throughout the closing stretch. let's go do this again. let's do it another time. back to the tee at 18 for the second hole of the playoff. who don't have access thto basic banking,on people but that is changing. at temenos, with the microsoft cloud, we can enable a banker to travel to the most remote locations with nothing but a phone and a tablet. everywhere where there's a pho. now a person is able to start a business, and employ somebody for the first time. the microsoft cloud helped us to bring banking to ten million people in just two years. it's transforming our world. jim: after matching pars on the first playoff hole, they're right back at the 18th tee. [captioning funded by cbs sports division] [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] peter: this should just be inside the bunkers on the right. jim: baugh sidekick for him. he's not happy about it either. nick: whether the tes are going to block him a touch on the corner -- peter:, no he's going to be fine. he just wanted more yardage. jim: he definitely wanted more out of that, so curran. the driver again. dottie: a similar ball flight, hugging the right just a touch more. jim: oh, boy. looks like it plunged into that bunker. if they should have matching scores on this, the second playoff hole, actually we go to number 10 next. curran a little out of position here, mcgirt in the fairway. jim: tonight on cbs begins with "60 minutes" followed by back-to-back episodes "madam secretary" and "elementary." here we go, mcgirt. peter: good, full accelerated motion through that one. jim: he's tugged it. nick: oh, no. pulled it a touch on a down right-to-left breeze and then it flew like a kite. jim: you win, you get 500 fedexcup points. in addition, you get a three-year exemption on tour, all the way through 2019. puts you in the pga, and the quicken loans event. of course, the masters is what they'll be talking about. the players, visionals too like arnold's event, the dean & deluca invitational at colonial. it's a life changer is what it is. curran knows that mcgirt has put himself in a very big bind. a difficult running away from you up and down. might be harder than what he just faced from the front bunker. nick: absolutely. i'll be very surprised if he can get that up and down. dottie: this will be curran's shortest shot into the green but by far the most difficult. 151, 8-iron. nick: he must make sure he gets over that lip. that's the priority. i'll be surprised if he can make four from there. >> that was only 46 or 47 at the most out of there. >> right in the middle of the window. >> yeah. nick: short back swing. jim: wow. nick: what happened there? it came out like a rocket. airmailed the flag. jim: if you thought mcgirt had issues this is going to be really serious once that takes a drop off that cart path. nick: he didn't need to think about getting close to that flag. jim: he could still halve the hole with 5's. it will be tough. back with more after this world from your local station. when they thought they should westart saving for retirement.le then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. this gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren't prepared for retirement. just start as early as you can. it's going to pay off in the future. if we all start saving a little more today, we'll all be better prepared tomorrow. prudential. bring your challenges. jim: back, second playoff home. curran has just taken a drop, relief from the cart path. dottie: he just had a conversation with his caddie about playing this ball further left. came out like a rocket. jim: needs to sit in a hurry. nick: he had to make sure he got it to the green. he couldn't land that short but it is -- even his golf ball was about six feet up from where the bottom of the cup is. jim: how difficult will this be for mcgirt to get close? peter: if he wants to get it close, i think he has to land it in the long grass and i don't think you take that risk at this point in the proceedings. he think play a little bit left and use the slope, and he is going back into the breeze. nick: try a super lob and split the difference. you have to get it at least six feet on the green for safety. jim: look at this play. oh. nick: that is brilliant. jim: still good. nick: absolutely brilliant to hit it to six feet. let's have another look at with -- this one. opened the face up. keeping your eyes on the ground is very important. seeing the divot on a nervy shot like that and that was great. great speed. great nerve on that one. fantastic shot. jim: and mcgirt will have a little bit of a handle on that putt. peter: he has to move his coin now for jon curran. jim: because curran is going to have a similar putt that mcgirt had. mcgirt has been great with his putting. mcgirt with his four, five, six-footers, he's been just outstanding. how about the two-putt from 64 feet, 72nd hole? nick: you're right. you see the players earlier in the week with their caddies. they will guess where the flag is going to be and they'll know what the percentage of slope is so he's got some idea of which way it's going to do. doesn't need to wind himself up too much. this would be some unbelievable effort if he could brush this in. good try. jim: yes, it is. wonderful speed. he can go ahead and tap that in and mcgirt will have the putt for victory. all right, peter, give us the read. peter: well, the wind is going to have some effect on this but i would think it's going to move a fraction to the right. nick: you're seeing a fraction left to right, peter? and then the wind trying to push it the other way. peter: the other way, yes. it's a good seven feet. eight feet, maybe. jim: give you a little idea how much it would mean to him to win jack nicklaus's tournament. a few years ago he came into our broadcast booth, not to be interviewed, but he brought his little boy up here and asked during a break if he could get jack nicklaus's autograph and introduction for his little boy. it was sweet. now he has a chance to put his name this time on jack nicklaus's trophy with this one putt. it's over. william mcgirt! a champion at the memorial tournament presented by nationwide. peter, you walked with him today. i just was dazzled by the calmness with which he approached this final round and playoff. peter: yeah, he was emotionally under control all day long and that to me was really impressive. jim: there's the little man. jack: great up and down. >> that was fun. jack: hey, there. >> hey, there. jack: are you happy about your daddy? >> can you give him five? shake his hand? where's mama? >> she's way far away. she's right there. jim: sarah and little caroline come over. father and son wore matching shirlts and he'll have a chance to compete for the green jacket next year at the masters. peter, back down to you. peter: thank you, jim. i'm here with the memorial champion. if memory serves me correct, your last victory check was for $16,000. this one comes with a ticket to the masters, a few more dollars and more importantly, validates you as a winner on the pga tour. how does that make you feel? >> unbelievable. it was a struggle all day. i fought my golf swing all day but i just tried to hold on to it and hit as many greens as i could. made a lot of really good par putts. my speed was great all day and that was what saved me. i had some opportunities to three-putt and rolled it up there nicely. 14 was pretty crucial because that putt breaks about 10 feet and can get away from you really quick and lolled it up there to a foot, foot and a half. that was a big one but my putter really saved me this week. peter: you've now won jack nicklaus's tournament and you got a lot of fedexcup points as well. not having won before, you showed tremendous emotional control from my viewpoint. is that fair? >> yeah, it's very fair. i've been in this position several times before and i said yesterday, you know, hopefully i finally learned something from it and i feel like i did. i knew what my tendencies were and my tendency is always to get fast. walking, everything, swing. i kept trying to make slow swings all day. unfortunately they weren't great but it all worked out in the end. peter: you also got some advice a few years ago from tiger. did you look at the scoreboard coming down the stretch? >> all day. every one i passed i looked at. peter: you got the handshake you wanted, from jack nicklaus. go sign your scorecard, make it all official. congratulations. >> thanks, peter. peter: dottie, over to you. dottie: here with jon curran. yes, it was very cool. what did he share with you? and obviously played great in week. will played great and a lot of other guys just missed on the chance to get in the playoff. but it's a really cool thing to hang out with jack and have him talk to me, even. it's pretty cool. great putt will made on the last was awesome. dottie: you got yourself and you're getting yourself more and more in contention but i must ask about the fairway bunker shot at 18 and what happened? >> it's been windy all afternoon ever since we came back out. my drive went a little bit further than i thought and i haven't sniffed those fairway bunkers all week and we just got a gust. we had the right intentions and i think looking back it was probably just one too many clubs. dottie: a ton of fedexcup points today, a lot of experience. what are you going to look back on and say this is the thing i learned the most about me? >> to be honest with you, i haven't felt great off the tee all week and just to be able to battle through that and i've worked with my sports psychologist and host gotten me through so many weird times write really didn't feel great about my game. it doesn't really matter how you play, you can perform if you trust yourself and keep plugging away. dottie: lessons learned. well played. jim, back to you. jim: thank you, dottie. curran in good spirits, even though he was unable to take the playoff. look at will mcgirt now, moves into 10th on the season standings. with his breakthrough win today. tonight on cbs begins with "60 minutes" then "madam secretary" back-to-back, and "elementary." next week, cbs golf will be back in memphis for the fedex st. jude classic with saturday and sunday coverage. 3:00 eastern time your start time next week. from memphis. this was the winner. right into the shadow. he's not going to be walking in anyone's shadow out here anymore. the light is shining brightly on will mcgirt. played the entire day without a bogey. [laughter] nick: that's sweet. jim: some good hang time. it's been one of these days that it's almost hard to explain to people because there was weather in the forecast for the afternoon so we started taping the broadcast, if you will, at noon eastern today. it's been a lot of starting and stopping, as our incredible production and technical teams have patch worked this all together. and because this thing went to a second playoff hole, we very nearly caught town this thing live. in fact, as these words are leaving my lips, they were said to you folks at home only about eight minutes ago. does that make sense? your head has been spinning all day. where we? what time is it? i guess the short of it is, nick, you are ahead of your time, once again. nick: one really good stat for mcgirt. four bogus on day one, two on -- day two, one on day three and zero today. that is quite a good stat. jim: you take the quality of the field we a had at the start of the week. not a lot of people would have said in the end it will come down to will mcgirt and jon curran but hats off to the two of them. they took on one of the great fields of year in golf, as you see the last time tonight on cbs beginning with "60 minutes" shortly, but the way they held up under pressure with big guns in the battle with them. a haring jer -- harbinger you would think of good things to come to -- for both of them. nick: coming out in a gusty wind playing this golf course. they survived everything beautifully. jim: biggest putt of his life right there. once he saw his little boy, he could finally take that absolutely laser focus off his face and realize that his career is in a whole new place. it's always a family victory, too, isn't it? when you see things like that? congratulations to will mcgirt and again, our thanks to our teams, both in the truck and out on the course led by lance barrow and steve milton. for sir nick faldo and all the crew, jim nantz saying so long and congratulations to william mcgirt, the champion. from the cbs broadcast center in philadelphia. this is cbs-3 "eyewitness news". right now on "eyewitness news", severe storms are rolling through the area. storm scan3 is showing us this system as it rips across the delaware valley. and live look at the ominous skies over spring garden right now. the worse of the storms started blast being through right about 6:00. good evening, everyone, i'm natasha brown, thanks for joining us, severe thunderstorm warning in effect for parts of the area, right to lauren casey in the weather center with the latest on the storm system, lauren? >> thanks so much, that the tasha. severe thunderstorm did just pass through center city philadelphia, now starting to quiet things down, but as we look at parts of new jersey, do have severe thunderstorm warning in effect until 6:45 for large portion of south jersey, and we're watching this lin o
