  Speaker 3: the club underneath that. That was tasty.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: It is his quality action here, let me tell.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: You, sensational down the hill. I mean that is incredible
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: touch from the big man.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: At sixteen, Ernie Clement, who's actually a scratch.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Golfer, just an insanely perfect drive on this long par five.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: He has definitely been to be able to reach his
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: par five and two straight up the hill. Oh, I
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: sounded like really good contact at the left side of
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: the green.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Wow, it was too good. All right, what you've got Ernie?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Right now? Is it true that he's scratched?
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: The first question they're asking me is are you true
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: to your scratch?
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: I'm like a two and a half index, so no,
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: I'm not a scratch.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Oh that swing looked like a scratch. That was absolutely
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: smoked right there. What did you hit there?
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: That was a six iron? We had like one ninety
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: but it was uphill, kind of end of the wind.
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: So you know, I got after a little bit right there.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Looking for a little revenge on Willis today and just
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: the kind of little payback maybe on the down low.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it'd be nice to get a win
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: against those Dodgers, but they're they're awesome guys, great golfers.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: We're just having a blast. Iudea, this is so cool.

• 3:26
  Speaker 8: of you know, smack talking going on, but it's been fun.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: What's been the biggest high pressure situation out here on
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: the course.
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: It's the little four foot putts. It's the ones that
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: go from birdie to par or part of to bogie
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: or you know, bogey to double boge which gets you
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: zero points. So yeah, it's those four footers that that
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: that we all yell at Rory over the TV, you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: and now we can't hit them.
• 3:50

  Speaker 1: Swisher with a driver? Is this going to be too
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: much for him? Like how he played the cut there?
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a little silky fader down the right side.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Babby. I want to know, did Nick have any coffee
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: this morning?

  Speaker 7: inducted in the Hall of Fame.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Do you know what I think, Cec Man, he's such
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: a legend.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: On and off the course.
• 4:53
  Speaker 10: I mean what he's done for our game in baseball,

• 4:58
  Speaker 10: and the fact that he's out here, to what he
• 5:00
  Speaker 10: does on the golf course. I mean, my guy's out
• 5:01
  Speaker 10: here five days a week. I expect this sort of stuff,
• 5:04
  Speaker 10: you know what I mean. I mean, it's the best
• 5:05
  Speaker 10: ball out of both of us. So at the end
• 5:07
  Speaker 10: of the day, I mean, you know, the first person
• 5:08
  Speaker 10: squirrels one a little left. You know, you see a
• 5:10
  Speaker 10: little pressure, especially for all of us. I mean, you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 10: being out here waiting, playing like a full tournament golf.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: This is not our normal style of play.
• 5:17
  Speaker 10: We like to get in get out, you know, So

  Speaker 1: second at the sixteenth.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Trying to throw himself a strike in there with some
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: sort of medium iron. This is crafty down the hill.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: This is the guy who qualified for the US Senior Open.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: He knows pressure. Now, John Smoltz for eagle. Can he
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: capitalize here?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Yes, he can number twenty nine with another strike.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Smoltz, He with the eagle for five points. There will

  Speaker 2: not be a more competitive guy out here.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Back over to the Yankees, Nick Swisher, playing his second
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: at this part five.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Starts that out toward the left hand side, should filter

  Speaker 3: it down towards the right. Oh, thoroughly professional, Nick.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Look at this, that's how you do it.
• 6:46

  Speaker 1: Mallari making away at the eighteenth.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Kevin Malar second.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Shot anything shortened to the right of this hole. If

• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and two Ah, Chucky, go go.
• 8:52

  Speaker 3: life jacket.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: This is actually the third shot for Swisher.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: And important given the CC is Rinsty's approach shot.

• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Kevin Malar has this putt for a par to get
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to thirty three points on the day.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: It's going to be hasty down that hill.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Oh what a clutch pot cowboy up now at eighteen
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Aaron Hicks might be the best player in this event
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: has this putt for Birdie.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Left hand, low, little forward press, but we've seen all
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: in the sundry. Leave that putt back up the slope,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: a little short and a little low. Good day, nonethelests.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Now we'll have this left for a par and it
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: would be for two points points and the outright lead.

• 10:05
  Speaker 1: At the end of round one, play is complete. And

• 10:28
  Speaker 1: teams are making their moves.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Nick Swisher with the Yankees on the tee at thirteen,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: how about this.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Mark Immelman three, playing just one hundred and seventy six
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: yards narrow green.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Well Chichi rod Regez to celebrate.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: I know he's an animated sort, but that's a little.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Much for one.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: You think.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: JJ Putts of the Seattle Mariners for Birdie at fourteen?
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: John Smolts his second from the rough at ten.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: And how about this golls In another to very close.
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: In.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: You think he likes it? Oh yeah, fuck? How about
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Dustin May?
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Another starting pitcher decides to take the putter here my
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Bertie David Price at thirteen.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: This is a beautiful pass from the tall man launches
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: at eight iron, way up in the air and lends
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: it softly. One of the best we've seen.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Mike Hessman again at sixteen. Look at the side saddle
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: for Birdie.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Good Mike Hessman.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And Brandon ch They now have the lead, two points
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: clear of Lewis and of the twins, and it is
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: setting up for an exciting finish here at Shadow Creek.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: You know this next player, Aaron Hicks. His first love
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: was actually golf. He thought he was gonna be the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: next Tiger Woods.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Just so happened. He was a really good baseball player too.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Watch his swing.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I watched him warm up this morning and it
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: was quite.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Impressive, turning a little too much per reps. All right,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: no damage.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Up ahead to eighteen. Kyle Freelan's of the Colorado Rockies. No,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: but how about this. That might be the best shot
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: we've seen into this eighteenth hole in two days.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Now, you've got Aaron Hicks, And what does it mean
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: if he can save par here?
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: It means that that would be two points. Oh what
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: a pot there is, Aaron Hicks.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: So he just says to his partner Royce Lewis, hey,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: pick yours up.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: You're good. Let's go to fourteen.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Ernie Clement here playing his second.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: And kills it on the green. This boy has got
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: some skills, isn't he?
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Look at this one coming in even better neally.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: As good as that T shirt back on seventeen yesterday.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Clifford now drove it left, but good line. We're rough
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: in a really good angle. This whole location just a wedge.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Sounded a little heavy, but it's cutting. Might get one bounce,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: come on a slope as.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: The forward kick.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Now it's turning to the rats.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Oh this has a chance right now, guys, Oh look
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: at this stuff.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Well that's how you play well, well.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: That's how you play it right there, momentum shifting here.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: On day two, ingj and Hessman still had the lead,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: but watch out for the Twins only down one going
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: into the fourteen.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Now, Aaron Hicks, after that mont your t shot.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: Lights don't get any greener than this. Well that's good
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: action there just left of the hole.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: It made a nice sound. This thing should fizz beautiful.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: You'd been talking him up, Na, see what you're talking about.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: He's legitimate. And now Hicks has this putt for birdie.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: So if Hicks can make this birdie putt would put
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: them in the lead by themselves.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: And this is probably the toughest putt in golf. Downhill,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: fast and very very straight looking.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Pure Aaron Hicks comes up clutch again with that birdie
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and he and Lewis are the first team to seventy points. Okay,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: now this is a big putt at eighteen an eagle
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: attempt for Brandon che got to this green in two.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Now an eagle is worth five points. Look at how
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: much break he's playing on this.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: It's like a boomerang.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: It's going to continue to turn, but it's on the
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: slope now, so it's going to wonder run a good
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: fifteen feet or so beyond the whole.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Now inch again for a birdie, which will get him
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: to seventy one.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: OUCHI and going to hurt convert this for the two pointer.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Yep, they get to seventy now tied for the lead.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Now let's not forget the top three teams all get
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: money towards charity.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Smalty's old business.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Coming off the pod back on sixteen, that was a
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: bit of a misstep. You could use a good one here,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: sound a good he's eyeing it as he should stay.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: There is a little slip, will feed that away from
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: the top plateau.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Kevin Malar, a guy who's been instrumental in getting this
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: tournament going, just absolutely loves the game of golf.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: And he kept the goateea from yesterday, so must have
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: made some putts coming in. Remember the promise about the
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: go tea in the facial hair.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: He changed the shoes.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: That it'll turn away from the hole a few feet
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: safely aboard with your partner in trouble.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Here's smaltzter Birdie at seventeen. Gotta go, and he's gotta go.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: The competitive fire coming out gets the braves right there.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: That should put them to seventy.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: He has another look, I'm holding to finish.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: That ball is tracking all right. This is Malar for
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: his par uh oh, that was.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Just uncomfortable there and that stroke was a little short,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: little choppy and the primary cut a rough for a
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: skip forward. Well hit his mark. How about this shot.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: That was special.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: That's special if you're a PGA Tour player.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Go on, now he's Keddy goes lend it here. I
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: think he led about two inches from where the mark was,
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: wonderfully drawing up imagination. And then the Keddy's like, yeah, bro,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: I'll see you got skills.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: All right, Let's see if Scott Kashmir can make this
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: almost miraculous up and down par.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: He does. That was fantastic. Two points for the eighth.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: As we check out the leaderboard, some of the top
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: teams are starting to wrap things up here. A lot
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: of points though still available for Lewis and Hicks. We'll
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: see if they can close it out.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: On the back nine.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: At the eighteenth, Nick Swisher has a putt for par
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: to get two points and if nothing else, if this
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: goes in they get to sixty seven. The Red Sox
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: are at sixty seven.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: That was for birdie. I beg your pardon.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: See the rivalry runs deep, huh, even to the golf course.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Good to the sixteenth.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Phil Nevin at the par five, they need a birdie here,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: just criss.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Sit down the hill and center cuts.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I've played a lot of golf with Nev When he
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: gets hot, Watch out.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Son, a handsome line.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, beautiful shot.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: And he's going to have a look at birdie right there,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: trying to make that.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Move up the leader board.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Let's head back the sixteen second shot upcoming here for
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Aaron Hicks.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Phenomenal drive. Practically put one hand on the trophy with
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: a good shot here.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: This is a well hand off well to the left.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, coming off the birdie at sixteen.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: No, he thought he's extrouting that. You see that he
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: was supposed to continue to turn to the left. N
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: just straightened.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: He gets to seventies, so we found that he.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Can get it out. This is gonna be a great
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: shot just to get it out, and you'll be lying
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: the same three with no wrist taking unplayable. So I'm
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: not sure this is the smartest play.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: I had to be bounded off the edge of the
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: cottpos it.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Ended up coming down in a decent place now off
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: the grass, and we couldn't do that again.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: He tried, Did that just hit the car path then
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the cart to come back into play.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Yes, it hit just about everything, but he's back in play.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: That's the key. Kevin Malar here for the Red Sox
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: for a par he likes it. How about this the
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: early walk?
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Look at him, he's smolts, that's so good.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: John Smoltz.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Can he get this pot for part to take the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: outright lead at the moment and he thought he had it,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: he had the early walk, Like Phil Nevin.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Malava's boss was still in the hall.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: He's like, dude, you're jinxing me. What's little behavior?
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Is that so good? So now a tie between the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Braves and the Twins at seventy one. Aaron Hicks now
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: playing his fit at the par five sixteen.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a few feet left for six and only
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: one points. But back in the middle of the fairway
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: after a perfect drive, just a medium irning hand. Six
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: was not what he.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Was off of, No, not at all. So that Bogey
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: secures points. How about it?
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Getting some late drama here in the Capitol one MLB
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: open happened here.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: This is an awkward t shot. Bunkers in the water
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: all the way down the right end side. Can drive
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: it through the faiway up the left, but he splits
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: the center.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Here's Phil Nevin second at the eighteenth.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Stuck it in the ground A little bit, a little
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: bit bit of hustle. Oh, he's been living clean lately,
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: hasn't he?
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: He has? And Phil Nevin he's chips one handed.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: This will be interesting to see if he goes with
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: a wedge or if he tries to put from there.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: He is gonna put from the French here, and this
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: is a long putt for eagle.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: That looks pretty good for speed. That looks pretty good
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: for speed.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: And if he can make that birdie, he will get
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the Rangers to seventy three points. So this put right
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: here would get the Twins to seventy four points, which
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: would guarantee them the win.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Yes, very straightforward, straight up the hill, maybe moving a
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: hair to his right, but if he's solid, he doesn't
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: need to play for anything.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Not done yet. Work wise, tap that in and yourself
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: the point for the bogie. So that gets them to
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: seventy three and never up ahead. On eighteen Green has
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: a put to get to seventy three points.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Nevin's got it, so right now they are tied for
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the lead.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Phil Nevin, Jerry Harriston Jr.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Came alive at the end to put points on the
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: board and now they've put the pressure on Aaron Hicks
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: and Royce Lewis to get one point on the eighteenth hole.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Now, this has been their strategy. Lewis hitting iron off
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: the tee, getting it in play, letting Hicks go for
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: it with driver. But it'll be interesting to see if
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: they both hit iron here knowing that they don't need
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: a birdie at all. Oh boy, this has not hit
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: well and right right in the water. Now wow, Now
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: some pressure on Hicks all of a sudden.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Wow, there's the strategy change at all.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: It has to change.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Hicks does have driver in his hand at the moment.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: I mean he has driven it like a champ today
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: with the driver, it's been absolutely perfect.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Like okay, you.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't let him take the driver out of the bag
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: if you were with that.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: Bro Hey, if it was Hunter Mayhan, I would. But
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: anybody else know we're hitting three wood or five wood
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: up the left hand side. Say from that question, he's
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: a kick to the right.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: That came up into the trees now came back down
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: into the rough.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: But keep yourself plenty of room. But he looks like
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: he is not doing that. I'm looking straight at it.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: One shot for the flyer, good contact, starting at the hole,
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: cutting just right of it. May need to get down
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: a hair. Oh my god, So it shot that will
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: wrap things up.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Wow, and it's coming back getting a little bit better.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Well that makes life a whole lot easier because if
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: that ball stays up there, it's no guaranteed too.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: But look at this, Look at it getting better and
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: better and better.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Grandstand finish.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Huh when all they needed was a bogie. It looks
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: like they're going to have an eagle.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Broo.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Aaron Hicks, he knew what he was doing. Look at
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: this ball below the feet downhill, lie in the rough.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: If this ball comes out anywhere too fast, you above
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: the hole and rarely struggling. But it lands right on
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: the knife edge.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: He just told me, not done yet. I think he
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: can handle it from there though.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: I think he can too.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: We's got four or five punts to win from there.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: But now the stage is cleared for the best player here,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Aaron Hicks to end this.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Great event with an eagle, and he does.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Aaron Hicks and Royce Lewis are the first champions of
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the Capitol one MLB Open, closing it out in fashion
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: with an eagle to get to seventy eight points. So
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: with that, Royce Lewis, Aaron Hicks five points clear of
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: second place Phil Nevin, Jerry Harriston Junior, and then a
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: tie for third with the Braves and the Red Sox.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Let's set it to Matt and Mookie on the eighteenth.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: We're with the winners, Aaron Hicks and Royce Lewis, Team
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Minnesota Twins takes down.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: The inaugural running of the MLB Open.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Aaron, was there ever a moment because the target was
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: on your back?
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: You were heavy chalking this thing from the start. Was
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: there ever a moment.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: Where you did you felt like maybe I don't have this?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Come on, be honest, I mean yeah, there was.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: I mean when you got Tyler, clipperd Smoltz out there,
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's pretty much anybody's game.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I mean this is a tough golf course and you
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: know the guys came out to play.
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: I'm taking that as a no.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Roy What about you from your advantage point?
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: I know you you helped in some holes, Like how
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: how was it watching Hicksey first of all? And then
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: for you, like how was it being a part of greatness?
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 26:35
  Speaker 9: It was so special just to be you know, apart,
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: like you said, of greatness and watching Aaron do his
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: thing like everyone said. They said, oh, you're gonna win.
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: You don't even have to play, and so, uh, you know,
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: I I played a little bit like you said. I
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: got one or two holes to help him out, but honestly,
• 26:50
  Speaker 9: I learned a lot and he's gonna make me a
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: better player one day.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Way to go, guys, Congratulations on the wine.
