very downto earth guy who just makes you

not feel too kind of worried not that

any our other guests have made me feel

too worried but Tommy so chilled so

hoping to put on a really strong

performance for everyone today 171 yards

after striping it down the Fairway

Tommy's just in the bunker

there oh what a strike

jeez that look really nice okay 171

yards to the flag there's a bunker

that's staying short of that cuz I'm

going to hit eight iron try and hit it

about 160 odd and then get one on the

green get one put in nice and early

wind's helping a SM

fraction sit

down

Greening rag it's on the green but it's

a long way away

safe yeah I was meant to go a bit more

for the flag but we're on the

green I'm going to eat my

chips what did you hit then seven eight

eight you

eight yours was a really nice strike I

think yours is if you from what look in

here your distance looks perfect then uh

I just don't know if it drew back

in what's on lunch menu here Thomas

uh I ordered some chicken wraps and some

chips nice so you've got yours to come

as

well would you eat would you eat the

wrap first or the chips first I'm

actually going to eat the wrap first

yeah yeah cuz there's two things one do

we have is there any

ketchup yeah but it's in the bag over

there all right soz I I can't eat chips

without ketchup and also I'm just trying

to be a little bit a little bit

healthier at the moment so I feel like

if I get the chicken done and I'm full I

won't eat the

chips if I eat the chicks first I'll be

like I can't leave the chicken W yeah

that's a good tactic but that's just me

at the moment Nice Shot pal P

eye very very nice that green looks hell

you can work on that putting tip where

you said start looking at the Green from

here that putting that green looks very

is that the big thing around these

greens big

undulations yeah yeah big undulating

greens you look like swinging it good

I'm getting there I've been genuinely

I've been really working hard and you

know uh James Robinson yeah yeah so he's

been helping me a little bit just trying

to get a bit of face control I've always

been too open and flippy wow look at

that brought the red arrows in for the

match right this is uh this is going to

be an interesting P about half way it

goes down a roller coaster of a hill and

it's going to be fast so I just need to

really gauge my distance control it's

then once it gets over the hill it's

going to go a little bit left so I just

just need to get it over that hill and

then gravity should play its part come

on nice two put on the

first it's not going to be that fast is

it I think you're at tournament speeds

there ah thought was going to be really

rapid ah good drive good iron shot and

then a poor first put that's frustrating

right Tommy after a nice shot from the

bunker yeah just On The Fringe of the

green good for distance seeo much in it

Tommy there's a yeah a bit of right to

left fell with my feet about a two but

uphill Oh Oh I thought you had

there I thought that was going to be a

potential Big Two Shot swing then nice

par after finding the Trap steady all

right maybe not as fast as I was

predicting on that first put down the

hill there's not a lot of break in this

I'm just going to roll it to drop in the

front edge let's start with a par

Rick oh lovely

po that's a great po I'm Happ the first

time I've played one of these matches

and not bed or doubled the first oh well

that's a good

sign I Tred my best okay second hole par

five 583 yards um bit of a blind t-shot

it got two bunkers that you can see the

face off and does it go right from there

Tommy uh a yeah a little bit yeah not a

lot not it's it's not load um but it

does go a little bit right downwind just

over the corner of that

bunker low cut bomb yeah perfect it

wasn't pretty but it'll work perfect

right going for the high bomb uh well I

was just trying I thought you might do

that I'll just h a stock one as

well a you've gone for the big high bomb

don't be giving me

Stock

Shop might be just off the right side of

the Fairway it might be good I'm not

sure it's going to be 100 yards past me

okay not my finest drive but it's middle

of the Fairway so I didn't strike it

which means I've got a long long long

way into screen 284 yards to be exact so

I'm not going to go for it cuz that's

stupid Tommy at a great shot you have

you seen it yet I can just see there

yeah he's still on The Fairway which is

perfect um what have you got three wood

I have but I don't think for me in my

strategy if I hit three would and leave

myself 50 yards short it's my worst shot

I'd rather hit it

two3

240 it's down Na downwind and running

like I think you'll get it in a greens

side track with a

three-wood I feel like I've got a better

chance hitting a like a leaving myself

100

yards you for the match you'd want me to

hit it 50 yards short of the green

because that's where no but I think you

L it green side but that's where I'd be

terrible so I'm going to hit seven iron

Leave Myself 110 yards pitch it into the

green and knock it in for birdie okay um

the only thing I would like your advice

on Tommy is where the hell am I

aiming

um uh can you see can you see the left

edge of the back bunker yeah yeah just

HED at that yeah great is there nothing

down there uh there's nothing to worry

about think there's there's a bunker

somewhere

bit chunky and a bit left I think it

should be good I might be leaving myself

more than a 100 yards in I'll do oh

thank you Tommy appreciate

that I don't think that'll ever wear out

getting

a Tommy Fleet would fill in a divot INF

you thanks P how far have you got Tommy

232 to the pin what does it say to the

front 211 H 221 sorry just going to a

smooth five five iron yeah just a smooth

one all it looks so good little bit left

but it should

be should be fairly good I think yeah I

think you're on the green great shot

than oh 100 yards on the nose third shot

going to go a nice little

56 just pop one in there it looks like

left is my friend more than right Tommy

would you say um is it all right there

yeah that's green light it straight at

it okay 56 wedge green light straight at

it I feel like I need to take a touch

off it because I don't want to go

long keep it just short of that

pin nice oh good shot oh be nice baby

come to play today come on

oh this is

nice walking on the green like Conor

mcre

[Applause]

I don't hit many greens in regulation

Tommy so you h two out of two so far

come on nice up and

down

steady oh we neck and neck nice shot

that wasn't easy from there was it no

little stabo are you happy with me

standing on your line

oh I'm not on it you are on it

okay two very very similar birdie puts

here on number two for Tommy to get to

one under for me to get to 11

under we've certainly never been there

before that would be something new I

won't ask you if there's much in it cuz

that'll only give me

Intel

Intel go on Tomy knock it in the thing

is I don't know be great up and down

from where you were

oh

jeez skimmed past the edge M read I will

Mark that okay you go for it taking my

time what' you feel there not a lot

almost

nothing I think the the biggest

influence would be the wind but it's

almost straight down yeah I'm just going

to go straight at it I'm upset that your

strategy is going to

work why you do did you did you read it

a little bit too much no I just wanted

to do it through OD all

right right for birdie here on number

two no yours gone right to

left that's what I thought mine would

do oh really fancied that as

well I'll tap it

in oh that's hurts but a really well

played hole Yeah I had to think about it

but yeah that was the shame did you hit

your straight I I think I went dead

straight and I might have just slightly

pulled it

annoyingly yeah I think I just slightly

pulled it J I think it is straight I

think I read it correctly but didn't it

a good put no I think it was broke

through two

holes yeah 10 under level path no blood

no blood yet what we looking at Tommy so

I always like see there's a tree that

the trunk is showing I like hitting it

at that and then does it dog like

laughter yes so the green is probably

where the tall building is like that

kind of line and then what is it rough

left if you go left okay yeah so

anywhere left of the bunker that is in

the

Fairway is is or there's a tiny bit of

Fairway there but most of it's rough

yeah third hole power four 452 yards

turned into the wind yeah back into the

wind now so at the tree with with your

your ball flight should pay dividends

there well let's see if I can hit one in

the

middle

driver is not good left of the roof yeah

is that g in the bunker no I think it's

uh in the pine in the native area yeah

that was a weird t-

shot a at that tree to

Perfection literally at that

tree great

shot H okay not the best t- shot there

I've ended up nearly in someone's uh

Back Garden luckily I'm not but I'm 200

yards away from the hole I'm gonna take

a five iron just to see but I think look

at tomy's face I think all I have to do

is pit it out you're intriguing me with

the

fiveon can I you didn't take my advice

on the last so I'll stay quiet no no

don't be that well I didn't make birdie

did I should have gone for your advice

oh yeah no it's not

five oh it's not I don't even know what

club it is cuz it's not even a

wedge uh

could do we just get a new Y golf P so

really what are you going with I'm going

to try and bump a 79 out yeah I like

that okay I'm going to go 7 iron back of

the

stance God I'm not far away from that

wall see if we can get on the flat bit

near where Tomy is on that

Hill beautiful golf shot the flat great

golf shot thank you okay tell me how

five you got 161 little bit downhill but

then into the wind playing close to

170 you got eight iron I've got an eight

somewhere between a shoulders and a

smooth I think I'm going to hit a really

good like strong hands to shoulders

eight oh it's a

shocker get over ah did it clear the

bunker don't know I think it I think it

did doesn't deserve much okay 150 yards

on the

nose into Breeze a little bit like

tomy's um for me here now I just want to

make sure that we just put ourselves in

a nice spot and give ourselves a look

for par so I'm going to go right to the

flag and just try and get my distance

perfect nice golf shot oh be really nice

just drawing it in shot Tracer

oh

hello sorry let me get your divot yeah I

think you deserve

it thanks right I don't know whether

mine do you think mine carried the

bunker or went I thought it did but I

couldn't it look like it did but I oh no

it's not in the it's in the

bunker um yeah not really the place to

be I think after kind

of I'm you know I'm trying to do a

little bit more and it's hard certainly

in these matches where there's lots

going on I'm trying to think right plot

my way yeah actually play golf like

there I didn't need to go for the flag I

went to stay right at the flag and just

leave myself a nice P that's why I

should have done well no cuz you're

you're almost chasing I'm like defending

defend to some degree defending champ

okay shocking iron shot short

sided see how many bunker tips

are

no from there I'm confused how you why

you

disappointed cuz it was always low came

out right distance was amazing I'm gonna

get a nice read though the distance was

really

good okay for par an outrageous par this

would be a great

par expecting to potentially pick up a

couple to I might actually lose

one I

uh my eyes are telling me one thing my

feet are telling me something else what'

you go with in that instant I try and go

with my feet which is really difficult

or I try and go as my feet I to tell me

the

truth I think it's dead straight you

giving every option available so far I

think it's dead straight no it is I know

it is dead straight yeah if anything

don't give it don't give it outside the

hole but it's going to fall to the left

which doesn't make sense cuz that's so

big over there but in this little

isolated

area and you can see how the cup looks

like it's a bit left as well okay for

par an outrageous par come on Rick put a

good stroke on

it ah

a I thought he left it short I read it

perfect I just under hit

it ah that would have been a hell of a

par that would have been a big

confidence booster then

right in for boy I mean I would have

after seen where my second shot finished

I would have probably taken bogey but it

feels like I've dropped a shot there

have you did drop a shot I did drop a

shot but feels worse right go on then

Tommy for a par great up and down from

the

bunker yes well done mate good put right

manag to save shot well you you've got

one back on me I'm now 9 under Tommy's

level through three hes okay fourth hole

par three and get this it's 250 yards

playing eight yards downhill so it's 242

yards from this te I mean to some golf

courses this is a power four um what you

hitting Tom well perfect shots of

fivewood but the pins at the very very

very back and it's a really narrow

opening so what I'm going to do is I'm

going to like a

drill sort of draw three iron and see if

I can get it low enough and try and

chasing up the green a bit I don't think

I can get well I'm pretty certain I

can't get all the way back there but

that's just a shot that I see okay I

think I'm have to do something

similar

ah the air n tried too hard with

it that bunker yeah I got the hook I got

the low hook that was rubbish what

happens when like the pins tucked in

that left corner I'm going to go at the

bunker on the right and just try and hit

it in between the flag and the bunker

I've also got three cuz my three would

have I don't feel like I'd keep it on

the planet my three would

there a wasn't comfortable on

that sto quick got 100 yards left in

neither of those were

uh I really wasn't comfortable stood

over it silly mistake okay that was a

terrible terrible strike there Myan been

hitting it well recently as well but

that was a that was a very disappointing

shot finished up in the uh what you even

call this uh um

dust what's tricky about this the only

way I know how to play this is a back

foot kind of bumper think you should do

that and I've not the only issue is I've

not got a lot of well I've got a lot of

green to work with but where I want to

land it I'm going to land it just on

that hill in front of the

Green Oh sit sit Oh I thought that was

going to be unbelievable then how has it

done that I don't know I thought it had

like deadened it the one place I didn't

want to hit it was over the green and I

really thought I'd played that perfect

then right Tommy that is a big bunker

it's not really the place to

be

oh oh what a

shot played it better than I thought I

would that was perfect okay after I feel

a very unfortunate second shot there

I've ran into this little runoff area

behind the green this has to be

perfect landed on the green one hop in

oh right I'm going to go

again for a four

now good

shot oh making hard work of this hole it

is inevitable after too good a start I

think

Tommy the game always catches you ah God

damn so annoyed about those little shots

I've been so much better at them but

just under a bit of pressure they're

just not there yet but got to keep

trying okay for a double

bogey that knocked it through the

brake oh it's a terrible

hole 10 for

six oh the faster this would be amazing

up and down hey what that

bunker yes well done

Tommy that's a big swing in the match

picked up a lot on that one well the

last two holes you've just taken four

shots off me that's

f ah

the it's not inter it I you still got a

big lead I know but I wanted to I wanted

to beat your GR roast

today I get through two hour level far

um oh I'm gooded I'm good it feels like

it's always a bad I always have bring

throw in a bad ho throwing in three

shots there back to you you pared it

made a great par but I need to snap out

of it cuz I'm still ahead yeah I

actually remember gaining a lot on you

last time and then you went through a

really nice patch I just throw him away

like the buy Skittles throw them away

and just go whatever I don't need these

shots no exactly and then oh that for it

I think the crows just had our chicken

wrap or well it's going to be your

chicken wrap you've eaten yours oh right

come on let's get it back okay fifth

hole power four tell me what have we got

um there's a

bunker the the one that it's right in

the middle of the in the middle of the

Fairway is about I want to say 300 yds

away uh down off the left yeah to reach

it yeah winds down off the left and then

you just hit up to the green hopefully

out of the Fairway with some kind of

wedge in your hand hand hit it close

knock it

in should be

perfect yeah nice ball there not want to

go mini there uh you think Minnie might

well there's always in the back of my

mind that Minnie might reach it and I

know this can't so I'm likely to just

put a better swing on a fivewood oh okay

fight back well I'm saying fight back

come on good one bad old doesn't

determine you straight at that bunker I

don't think I'll

reach stay there should be good stay

there get out the

r

oh looks good Tommy it's in a good line

oh look really

good okay I'm a little bit unfortunate

there I pushed it a touch I mean look at

the look at the line L that's the line

between the thicker roof and then the

not so thick roof before we get to the

Fairway and it's just right on the line

136 yards away I'm going to hit pitching

wedge but not a hard one just a nice

little 3/4

one shot

there great shot if it's good for

distance hopefully I should be right

that was a good shot

thanks bounce back

bounce back come on long range put here

from Tommy looks like it's going to fall

from the left side but it's very much

downhill stay up do it no great P good

roll good roll right down the hill right

to left this would

be a real confidence booster after that

last hole come on drop her in it's going

to swing quite a bit certainly as it

picks up speed down the

hill give it lots of

respect oh it's perfect

Line This can't actually

miss that is how to talk to your ball

let's go come on big bounce back put

there look how happy he is I went I went

from but the down all Downer and like o

oh crap it's a birdie I'm the best

player in the world I all right thanks F

right that really

helped yeah Circle your birdie yes

please sir Circle the

birdie um thanks mate that's got me back

to 7 under your level yeah so I don't

know and you drove it in the rof okay

beautiful part three here Tommy what we

say oh yeah front right pin 170 to the

pin

and I always find it tricky to know

where exactly the wind is on this hole

but um you got big flag over there it

should just be I thought it was going to

be in off the

left feel like almost straight into yeah

it does okay I'm going to do a six iron

nice safe

play oh

no oh bunker that started drawing so

nice you went pin seeking I was hoping

to draw it off the pin but I I think it

is a little bit into and off the left

you know cuz that should have drawn it's

quite strong the wind isn't it it is

strong I think it's definitely a tiny

bit off the left

and then wind see see how it's moving

back to the

right not that had to

go Tommy oh I need to go get another

pole did you play it it's back from here

there's no Drop

Zone oh yeah there is a drop

zone the silence in the air I thought I

didn't think that was going to be short

oh no

did you know as soon as you hit it no

cuz I thought I played the shot I wanted

to but I was just looking at it in the

air and I was like I don't know just

looked like it was

floating

oh a

drama to the Drop Zone

please

o kind of sat

down

oh really

nice thanks nicely played okay so

Tommy's got that for four after dropping

in the drop zone I just finished heing

the bunker I'm gutted I honestly thought

I'd played such a nice shot as it was

midair uh not got loads of green to work

with so just need to Splash it

out oh you lucky

[Music]

sod

that should have been in that

house that is a fantastic up and

down really really well done thanks

okay right to left just a little bit in

it up the

hill textbook

PA sand safe this can't miss this can't

miss can't miss

nice nice Pa thanks

mate great bunker Shir no thanks it's a

different it's a new style right I'm 7

under Tommy's one

over sorry Tommy what for just I mean

that wasn't wasn't pretty it's all right

and and I suppose a three to three

somehow but that was not nice okay what

a hole par five straight up the hill

yeah I I think we're going to continue

on shot swinging over the next few hes

yeah what we got up next par five and

then what five and then two pretty like

demanding par

fours okay so just Dr down the middle in

it uh ideally and wind's going to be off

the left of fraction yeah you can't

really feel the wind cuz for blocked out

I mean you could hit any number of shot

shapes really with the drive

so thanks I'm going to go straight down

the

middle

going

right in the line straw

rough it's just come back into the roof

did it come back into the roof yeah not

horrendous to be fair it's so hard to

hit this drive far enough left like with

when the wind's this way yeah I think

that was probably a little cut and then

it carried on the

wind a yes that one felt

good that was

crushed cent LED it

okay so I've just just come up onto this

hill I did land it on this bit but it's

just running into the roof it's a very

very long par five here so I wouldn't

have been able to get there in two

anyway even if I miss it straight down

the Fairway so makes my decision a bit

easier I'm going to try and choping 79

down there just going have a quick look

at this lie though like even though the

roof isn't that long it really really

sits down so I I really need to hit down

on it

oh

jeez that roof's

hard um might have to be a mini driver

this o just not convinced like probably

in fivewood on the green to the front

but I want more than that Rick I like it

I think you should I you deserve more

than that is this a club you you enjoy

hitting off the

deck uh we're going to find out

hold that line oh hold that line what

strike kick right kick right ball yes it

did oh Tommy ah is it just in the little

just in the little ball I'll take that

though bloody hell what a shot

mate it's the head cover it's the head

cover oh that is so good right it's not

the ideal third shot want into this hole

Tommy's on the green putting for Eagle

I'm 19 95 yards away wind's off the left

I'm going to go I was going to go at

your golf ball take the bunker out of

Play Let The Wind Drift it

back wind no great golf

shot great golf shot oh and it's get

up well I went for your golf ball so I'm

not too disappointed that that was a

great shot thanks pal

okay three shots to get here not my

finest three shots in the world but

we're on the Green putting for birdie

Tommy's got really nice look at Eagle

put as well I'm happy to get down in two

from here big sweeper once it gets over

that Hill it's going to bend a Long Way

to the right slightly up the

hill

simmer it's aggressive right come on

Tommy let's see an eagle that would be a

hell of a bounce back yeah I want some

of Rick Shields bounce back

ability just put the phone down you're

all right I you got nothing on On Me by

I've got my mobile phone and that's it

just marking my ball my mobile cuz I've

literally got not got tea on me not got

a ball

marker do it do it

oh oh thought you had it thought you had

it right the PA up the hill little bit

right to left a scrambling PA this is a

solid PA for

me

well done thank

you well done try and open my birdie

account

up yeah on mate thanks good work right

level par play 7 under gained a

shot

okay wind off the right I'm going to

start it on the left edge of the second

one on the right yeah hopefully it's

going to the wind's just going to move

it into the middle onto that middle

bunker okay that's the that's the the

desired end position that

is oh that's no throw a ball no

underneath it flush what reached it

probably in the bunker okay straight at

that bunker come on hit a straight golf

shot oh and it's a

beauty great shot should work looking at

it it's a good

shot

I've got to remember the straight ones

to nobody likes a poser they don't

happen very often okay 178 yards left

into the pin pins at the front actually

looks like a green that's not got many

bunkers around it no down Breeze I'm

going to hit seven iron and just see if

we can pop it straight on the

green oh pulled

it

pull

had

nothing okay 129 hit it close like a

four looks

nice

spin

no thought that was going to be better

oh that's it you do my div it rick I've

got you I've got

you

okay okay so just pulled it left of the

green just on this little bank here in

the roof the plan is to land it on the

green and let it kind of just Mosey on

round to the right I like the look at

this shot see if we can chip one

in not been doing that not been doing

that at all I don't it's like I for I

don't know it's like I forget how to do

it but now I'm in I want to chip again

now it's probably not the right shot now

I'm going to chip again just to almost

prove that I can do it come

on then I catch it too

thin oh Rick we're not doing very well

on this all we I'm very I'm very

frustrated after that there middle of

the Fairway and I'm what he got this for

five

nice like for

bogey ah

frustrated that was lined up perfect

then you see that Pi ball right come on

see if I can salvage a five after bloody

anyway forget what I've done this is

just a new put right to left

good looking P

oh that had a break good P oh six double

bogey from the middle of the

Fairway that hurts that hurts a lot

right I'm five under tomy's one over six

shots in it through eight holes ninth

hole 500 yard power four straight back

into Breeze uphill drive straight down

the middle yeah tightish Fairway as you

get further up need to drive like a hit

on

seven stay there ball stay there

ball can see it maybe yeah I think it's

going to be in the first first first cut

okay I'm going to just allow for that

wind a little bit going to go down the

left

side good swing stay

there

yeah

perfect it's good it's going to say I'd

be surprised if it reached that

bunker position a yeah that felt nice

okay second shot in s Par Four 200 yards

on the nose and again this 500 yard par

for uh uphill wind feels like

it's why does the wind suddenly feel

like it's down it should I think it

should be helping off the left okay I'm

going to go five iron

try and rifle one straight at it I know

it's a full five where it's a four I'm

kind of trying to hit it a bit too

soft fatted it that's a shame cuz it's

right online kick

left oh really fatted it how far are you

Tommy 180 to the pin a little bit uphill

but I do think that wind's helping I'm

going to with a good eight just hope it

doesn't spin too much out of the

semi be on it be on

it

yeah right this is uh this is not where

I want to be in Life or is where I want

to be in life here in beautiful Dubai

playing with topic Fleetwood yes this

shot is not not where I want to be but

Redemption I feel like I A Couple of bad

pit shots today or chip shots which have

really annoyed me cuz that's not been

the trend

recently this the only issue with this

one it's a bit interg grain which makes

it a touch harder

knew

it

oh this grass is really affecting my

short game today enormously can't seem

to catch them at all howd you play that

one where it's more into grain yeah

they're horrible aren't they I'm not

bringing the duff into

play oh that's

nice nice shot I just feel like the when

it's grainy

yeah if you can chip around here then

you're pretty much set for anywhere

you're ever going to

go I just feel like it's so difficult to

get that strike right I'm also going to

go I want I do want to chip it cuz I

want don't be scared of the wedge I

don't want be scared of the wedge but

then I just feel like I'm going to mess

it

up no I'm going toip it I don't want

another double to finish I'm going to go

with your

ball lovely lovely good shot

thanks just need to put within 50 yards

who am I kidding what am I trying to use

a wedge for right put for par for you

Tommy bogey for

me yeah nice

thanks oh

rck oh

r

my God how have I made double from there

on the wrong kind of train

yeah what a disastrous end to the front

line after after feeling pretty strong

start I've gone triple bogy on the PA

three double on eight after be in middle

of the Fairway double on nine after be

in middle of the

Fairway ouch right I'm now technically

three under what are you now one over

four in it going into the about nine

yeah ah he still have the lead well yeah

but throwing him away all right 10 H

what we're looking up 10th Hole uh winds

off the right pretty straight away par 4

not a very long one there's always more

room up the right than you think it's

quite a tight Fairway but I always feel

like right is better do you want to go

with that bunker on the right yes

perfect okay four in it bat nine come on

it's shake some of these all the drama

starts

perfect

ball love that good I think love

that down on that right side come on

wind that's going to be really good I

think I think it bounced yeah if it's

not then it's my fault no it was it was

just right at that bunker found the

Fairway here on 10 150 yard

yards Tommy's right down there 40 yards

further on you'll have a little flick of

a gat wedge probably Sand Wedge um what

that pin Tommy is that left on on the

green but left of the green um yeah so

that's left side of the green there's

probably a few yards behind it but not a

lot so I'm better just keeping this

right at the p uh just right yeah I

think there will be a bit of room left

but I think um yeah on that bit of white

house yes my goal is to shoot level p b

n and let you chase me okay no more

double Bogies not a single one on this

Pat

n pulled it pulled it what about the

sun

104

think's hurting is

it I don't think it was on the te though

no it keeps make it really keep

switching round cuz I felt like it was

helping when I stood over my ball it's

hard to play it not hurting

the P it's light moving I

know get up where is it yeah really nice

right at the pin uh might just need us

to go a touch okay so just off the side

of the green I actually thought this was

going to be further left it's not too

bad here going to go a little gap wedge

I don't know what high it's I don't I

need to think positive vibes I'm going

to chip this one in I can I can see it

dropping in

that was

nice very good thank you really fancy to

look at that for some reason it's weird

is it yeah all right Tommy birdie put

here on

10

yes

yes great

P that was an absolute perfect judge of

speed and distance Direction line

okay for

p mam thank you I didn't really want

that put after missing the last one the

chip or the pot no exactly they neither

of those my favorite but three in it

yeah with eight holes to go 11th or

power 4 401 yards is it what's it doing

Tommy well so the green you can see the

bunker in the distance that's at the

very back of the green I think I can

just see the top of the flag

actually like when I'm playing the

tournament I always just hit I hit an

iron into the Fairway here and then it's

always like a wedger an R9 or something

um but I for some reason when I'm not in

the tournament I like itting driver uh

the well the course is playing softer so

the Green's a bit more acceptive if I do

it in the rough but up that right side

now it's quite tight up there um but you

know you can get relatively close within

like 80 yards or so and then okay I like

it well you started strong on the bat

nine

nice

ball that's in the Fairway I

think nice ball I think she have about

80 hours from there uh is less

or I I don't know

okay okay I'm just going to keep

anywhere anywhere right of that left

bunker really with just thinking that at

the window at that White House in the

background

yeah

oh that was

weak out there carry that trap if it

carries the bunker like everything's

fine it was a really weak strike so

you're hitting up the green from there

okay bit of a weak t- shot there

finished over this bunker but oh

honestly this

L it's so sat down I'm 150 yards away

from the flag uh I'm going to just try

and absolutely use all my popey might

and try and get it somewhat near the

green with a knife IR there's just that

bunker right in line with the flag that

I want to get over or or stay slightly

right of it keep it just right of it

yeah yeah I'm going to go that bunker in

the back right and then just smash it as

hard as I

can oh my

God oh my God it's all right it's gone

to just your distance though my my best

distance ever oh that is I thick was

that honestly that is crazy it was

really really sat down great Drive Tommy

thank you 76 yards that wasn't far off

80 yeah that's really nice come on see a

birdie

Blitz strike get

up bit pushy one it pin ey okay after

that hack out of the

roof I literally managed to hit that

nine in 110 yards then so and the thing

is out that roof you know it's not going

to go that far but if I'd gone a Tian

less Loft it would have it I would have

struggled to get it out at all so just

had to take my medicine even pitch one

close from 60

yards skinny bite hard that's it oh

after fighting a few of those it was

inevitable oh I'm really frustrated

myself on these shots today just need to

keep getting ricked to within 50 yards

and we're golden okay thinned it a

little bit on the back Edge gives me

another chance to try and chit one in

here from for par there hardly any

breaking

this

shut run a bit oh all right Tommy come

on let's go back to back birdies here on

the front on the back nine yeah nice

start to the back to get to underpath

and to really start closing this gap

down

yes

yes he's coming to play now b nine okay

tomy's one on

now this to this to drop a shot and

actually to be two under it's to stay in

the lead this to stay in the lead by

one what done oh that was a bad the

t-shot LED to that cuz it was just so

thick that roof right one in it Tommy

yeah made a big gain recently big gain

on those last last few holes okay what

hole yeah it's really strong Par Four

again it's kind of a hard one to line up

on this this cuz the te is going all

that way okay 466 yard Par Four uphill

Tommy fleetwoods now just one behind

I've never been this close to

you oh he's got the driver

flying That Swing felt really good that

was better that was really

nice yeah even even in the last match I

was to behind with one to play I've

never been within one oh yeah this is

new territory for me I need to I need to

do something here I need to do something

pretty special you're not making

mistakes I need to make

birdies get right just a tiny bit yeah

great

Drive Great drive thank

you always plays um like long this shot

no it genuinely even longer than the the

number yeah okay it's well it's 186

playing uphill so it's 194 yards and you

say it's then playing longer than that

it always yeah I mean it's into the wind

but for some reason I always feel like

this shot plays long what's that pin

doing just at the front yeah so that's

front left so um anywhere right of the

pin really like even um I mean not being

negative but even that right trap is

quite a nice little bunker shot it sort

of you get it out and it rolls to the

hole I mean the shot I'm kind of seeing

is almost going out that bunker and

trying to hit a hard draw into it oh

yeah love it okay I've got four iron I'm

going to go straight to that bunker on

the right and just try and trap draw one

in there love

it oh it's not done enough good

effort oh it didn't draw

enough all right

sit oh he's dialed uhoh Tommy is turning

it

on that's nice shot what you hit five uh

six six jeez great shot thanks right

Tommy is hit a fabulous iron shot to

kind of 10 12 ft I ended up finding this

bunker we said this bunker was fine

though this is horrible um

yeah I'm actually try and play like a

conventional bunk shot this time yeah

not like the last one that that was

something I was experimenting with I

mean it worked quite well was it my

lesson

come back come

back pretty

good yeah right Tommy for three yeah

for in a row doing a mat Wallace on the

bat

nine as the Sun is setting here in Dubai

this is uh this is pretty epic genuinely

I know we've got a match going on I

really want to see birded Dead Tommy

just going an absolute birdy F frenzy on

the back nine come on knock it

in go put

jeez oh it was a good po it was this to

stay in the lead again oh God yeah right

oh yeah front

runner left to right slightly up the

hill what did you feel there

not a lot like one and a half one yeah I

think the wind's making it hard cuz it

feels like it's going to make it break

more for par and to stay one

ahead literally went straight off my put

to face

right that is the worst part I've hit

all day and I've hit some bad ones match

allall tied tied game oh no Rick you had

a chance to stay ahead right right now

right now and now need to beat Tommy

Fleetwood off scratch for these final

few holes it's the only way I can win so

everything's gone out the window the

lead has

disappeared it's now about beating him

straight up okay that's all I got to do

just got to beat one of the best players

in the world straight up at his home

Golf Course over the last six

hours

strike really nice strike

okay going go five iron think it's an

absolute full one of these come on this

is it now this is the time to step up

and hit some good shots get a birdie in

the bank try and get that lead

back no no no no no no

no leak it

you oh Rick plenty of green to work with

Okay I had the distance just pushed it

right annoyingly I didn't shut the face

on that one enough Tommy's just said

play it like a back foot stab run it up

the green so that's what I'm going to

do nice shot

Rick really nice

shot I need something here now Tommy pal

this is uh this is not becoming good

show round the

green ah think was more focused on

trying to hold it right come on let's

get another birdie Tommy how's that put

put

looking it's got quite a bit of

break uphill it's one of them that you

see feeding in quite nice

though just it don't hit it oh great

roll right after making a bit of a hash

of the t- shot the second shot the third

shot let's see if we can salvage a four

up the hill right to left good put

always solves everything this just to be

behind by one if this goes

in just knew it was always left Rick

another

double there's been like five holes

where I've just dropped all my shots

thanks Tommy right two behind now really

run out holes thanks pal you can keep it

Chuck it away or snap it put it in the

bin it's not been your friend day has

it I don't think I've ever been friends

with him uh right what hole we got

coming up uh 14 part five

nice okay come on I'm not giving up two

back Miracles need to happen but I'm not

giving

up stay there

stay

no

no it bounced out of the bunker but I

don't know if it is it landed out the

bunker I don't if it turned into the

bunker so much momentum that I don't

want to give

[Laughter]
