00:00I'm the driver. Mein Freund, my son is playing in the ReadySafe Invitational, and you are getting me on that airplane.
00:06That's crazy. Wait, okay, um, so how long have you been in Germany?
00:12A little over a year. Yeah.
00:14You'd love it, buddy. There's these old castles everywhere, and all this history. It's so cool.
00:20Maybe next summer you come visit, huh? You two zero. I'd be happy to host you.
00:24Thank you. You're very generous.
00:30Mom, mommy.
00:31No. Santi, it's okay. I know my being here is a bit of a shock.
00:36Look, I'm sorry I was away for so long. It was never my intention.
00:42It's okay. Santi, it's not okay. I should have been there.
00:49I've seen you play again. Oh, man. I can't tell you how proud I am.
00:55I've been following on Instagram, seeing those posts. It made me feel like part of the family.
01:11Anyway, I just came to wish you luck, and to say thank you, Elena, for getting Santi back in the game.
01:18I love you, buddy.
01:26Wait, where are you going?
01:27I'm gonna head back to the hotel. I'm gonna watch from there. I don't want to be a distraction.
01:31Dad, you're not a distraction. There's literally 25,000 people here.
01:34No. I mean, Price, you can get him a pass, right?
01:40Right?
01:40There you go.
01:58There you go.
02:00Thanks, Manny.
02:01Yeah, so we're leaving now, right?
02:03Close.
02:03What do you mean close?
02:04I mean, come on. You called me at 4 a.m. on a Sunday.
02:07Yep. We're almost there.
02:08Price, come on, man. It's not for life.
02:10We need heaven. Heaven's where I'll stay.
02:17Gary, here you go. All access.
02:20Wow. Thanks, Price.
02:23Amelia, you're breaking my heart.
02:26Do you have groupies?
02:29Go, go, go. Sign some autographs.
02:30We love you, Santi.
02:32Let them meet Goms' next big thing.
02:35Bye.
02:36Be cool.
02:38He's really excited to see you.
02:47Yeah.
02:49It's a big day, and I know we haven't gotten a chance to talk.
02:53I just want to make sure that it's not awkward.
02:55Price, let me stop you right there.
02:58You're his coach.
02:59I am not going to get in the way.
03:01Seriously, all I want is a chance to be there for my son.
03:08Thanks for this.
03:10You bet.
03:10I don't know what I can do.
03:19I think it's Santi's call.
03:23Price.
03:24I mean, I agree with Mitz.
03:25I don't think there's anything to be done.
03:27Just help him stay focused.
03:29Mm-hmm.
03:30You're all right.
03:31Okay. Yeah.
03:33Yeah.
03:34Yeah.
03:34Santi, you ready?
03:35Let's go, Elvis.
03:37Time to hit the driving range.
03:41Along with Trevor Immelman, the Masters champion.
03:44It has been a terrific week of golf, Jim.
03:46And no one, I mean, no one has played better than Colin Murakawa, the two-time major champion.
03:53And as brilliant as Murakawa has been, there's another story we're watching.
03:56And that is Santi Wheeler, a 17-year-old amateur who has defied the odds this week and has made his way to the final group.
04:05What is it?
04:06It's just a golf course.
04:08Yeah.
04:08Now go get it.
04:09Go get it.
04:11Go get it.
04:13Go get it.
04:15Go get it.
04:17Go get it.
04:19Go get it.
04:21Go get it.
04:23Go get it.
04:24Go get it.
04:25Go get it.
04:26Go get it.
04:26Now on the tee from La Cunyata, California, Colin Murakawa.
04:53Oh, that's a great start for Murakawa.
04:55318 yards down the heart of this dogleg left.
05:01And this is where the real test comes for Wheeler.
05:04When you emerge from the shadows and the crowd is there for you, can you meet the moment?
05:09And now on the tee from Fort Wayne, Indiana, Santiago Wheeler.
05:14Here we go, Santy.
05:15Here we go, Santy.
05:27Santy!
05:28Santy!
05:28Santy!
05:29Santy!
05:30Santy!
05:31Santy!
05:33It looks like the moment's met.
05:51That is a mammoth drive by Sante Wheeler.
05:57You know, don't be afraid to turn those hips a little faster
06:02because you'll get some more distance.
06:32Come on.
07:00Trevor, we've got a big chip here.
07:01puts this close he moves to eight under par and within one shot of murakawa yeah it's a tough
07:07spot though jim these are the kinds of shots that can make or break you at this point of the tournament
07:21go
07:31oh my santi wheeler's chipped in for eagle for only the eighth time in pga tour history
07:41an amateur has taken a share of the lead in the final round
07:56uh-oh that's lightning folks and it looks like we're headed for a thunderstorm delay
08:01at the ready safe invitational with our leaders tied at nine under par
08:10hey hey looks like that storm rolled right past us official said we'll be out there soon
08:16hey you good yeah hey i thought you might be hungry yeah yeah good idea get something to eat
08:23um i'll be by the back
08:25turkey okay yeah that's great
08:37i mean would you look at that
08:41santi wheeler tied for the lead of the damn ready safe invitational
08:45still eight holes to go if those eight are anything like the first 10
08:50you'll be leaving here with your tour card
08:51oh you remember the allen county juniors
08:57maybe i don't know all those tournaments are kind of a blur you had a 10-stroke lead at an 18
09:0310. hell half the field had already quit it was so damn hot
09:07not you you didn't care you just kept on going that was the day that i knew
09:14that you could play this game at the highest level all right so i'm gonna tell you right now what i told you back then
09:25you can do this santi
09:26you really think i can win there's not a doubt in my mind

10:42alone for a second yeah what's going on nothing i uh i uh i mean it's not a big deal but i i think
10:53i'd like my dad to caddy for the rest of the round
10:57whoa
11:00how
11:03he caddied for me all the juniors my whole life really and
11:06just just feels weird to finish this without him no i can imagine i i just wonder if you're playing
11:15some of the best golf of your life if it makes sense to you know change caddies in the middle of a
11:20round well he's not just the caddy you know he's he's my dad and he literally taught me how to play the
11:26game i get it i i just worry about doing anything that's going to rock the boat and you know mess with
11:34your head or you taught me you taught me how to keep my head straight remember block out the noise
11:47you sure this is what you want to do
11:51this is what i want to do okay it's your call

12:07keep playing great what you're going to do block out the noise you got this okay
12:15folks we are back after an hour delay and trev what's the key coming out of a break like this
12:27to being ready to go back to competition consistency and routine you know you're playing great you just
12:33got to remind yourself to keep doing what you've been doing the past 10 holes
12:43now this is unprecedented it appears santi wheeler has replaced his caddy
12:49price cahill who drew headlines all week after 15 years away for the pga tour is now off the bag

13:01where's price santi you're up trust me let it rip kid
13:22all day
13:34over to 14 where santi wheeler has found the fairway and this could be a disaster for morikawa
13:39if he can't find the ball stroke and distance hitting three off the tee and with wheeler lurking
13:45that is the last thing he wants right now what are you doing uh price told me to hit nine here
13:51so i can lay it up short of the water morikawa's in the now is our time to strike it's four iron

14:10got him going for broke

16:08this is how it starts what's he saying to him nothing good
16:21oh this is not good things have gone from bad to worse here for santi wheeler the ball is in a
16:27terrible spot it seems like santi and his caddy are having some tense discussions of the best way out of
16:33this mess he's gotten himself into doesn't look like they're on the same page
16:40wheeler going for the risky shot here
16:45oh no why wouldn't he play safe and punch up
16:48sorry i don't need an apology i need you to think seriously think before you swing now come on how many

22:34trevor between plunging down the leaderboard this unfortunate gap with the sprinklers
22:39i don't know how anyone can expect this kid to finish this round mr wheeler you can resume play when
22:45you're ready
22:46there's really not much more to salvage here for wheeler no just finishing the round is about all he
22:52can do at this point
22:56i don't know what to do price
22:57you know i thought of something just now when i was watching you from the bar that pretty much ever
23:07since i've known you you've been swinging the club for the wrong reasons you've been swinging for me or
23:13your mom or even for zero to impress them or for your dad just now but when i first saw you on the
23:21driving range remember alone nothing riding on it no one was watching that was beautiful
23:27because you were swinging the club for yourself because you loved it
23:34you want my read as your caddy if you're ready to swing that club for yourself then i'm here
23:39to carry the bag but if not that's fine let's go home okay we'll pile into the rv get some barbecue
23:48turn up the music or may we just listen to mitts complain which has its own sort of catchy melody
23:55but it's your call it's your game no one else's
24:03you're breaking my heart you're shaking my confidence daily oh cecilia i'm down on my knees
24:31i'm begging you please
24:45smart place to hit my seven iron lay it up before the dog leg and then ease my way around
25:03those trees yeah that is the smart play but why go around when you can just go
25:11that's a driver jim are you kidding me hey listen after everything we've seen over wheeler's last
25:24five holes yes he's gonna hit driver off the deck santi wheeler is going to try to cut the corner
25:31here at the 18. this kid is something else jim every time you count him out he says no
26:01no it's showtime showtime wheeler well done tim that'll stick
26:18what a glorious sight here at 18 the crowd is rallying behind santi wheeler in a way like i've never seen
26:25before and a little simon and gov funko you gotta love that
26:41what do you think
26:42honestly i have no idea what this putt does i'd just go straight at it but it's your call

27:16what in the world is wheeler trying to do here he's putting away from the hole how about this
27:36kid's imagination and he sees lines that no one else would even think about
27:50the way

28:29Santay is sensational!
28:3420 weeks a year, we sit in these chairs and never, I mean never, have we seen a PGA Tour event as special as this one.
28:46What Santiago Wheeler and Price Cahill accomplished this week in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is the stuff of legends.
28:54Nice putt.
28:55All right.
28:56I fucking have this.
29:06Price, you're a legend.
29:08We've still got a two putt here to win.
29:10I know, I'm sorry.
29:11I think we just got to give him the clip.
29:14All right.
29:15Good job.
29:18Bye.
29:20Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
29:25Good job, baby!
29:30Bye.
29:31Bye, bye.
29:33Bye, bye.
29:34Bye.
29:35Bye.
29:36Bye.
29:45You really never think about it?
30:11Of course I think about it.
30:12I think about a lot of things.
30:13Because you could, right?
30:15I mean, if you put everything aside, hit every day, got back into shape, you could play
30:20again.
30:21Nah, I'm too old.
30:22David Duval's 52.
30:24He's playing in the John Deere next week.
30:25That ship sailed for me so long ago, you can't even see it.
30:28It's in Singapore right now.
30:30Come on!
30:31I saw you hit God's thumb.
30:32It was incredible.
30:33It was incredibly lucky.
30:34Right.
30:35Bullshit.
30:36Bullshit.
30:37Is this...
30:38Is this...
30:39Wait, is this one of your hustles?
30:40Like when you pretend you got nothing, and then you start to lure me in, and I buy it.
30:43Is that what you're doing?
30:44I'm hustling you.
30:45You've got nothing to hustle.
30:46What am I gonna take?
30:47Your hoodie?
30:48Your scooter?
30:49Oh my God.
30:50Okay, look.
30:51Average driving distance on tour last year was 293 yards.
30:55In 2005, you averaged 301.
30:58Did you Google me?
30:59Come on.
31:00I wanna see what you got.
31:01Back nine.
31:02You and me.
31:03For real.
31:04For real.
31:05You wanna see what I got, huh?
31:10Okay.
31:11Let's do it.
31:12Let's go.
31:13You wanna see what I got, huh?
31:14Okay.
31:15Let's do it.
31:16Let's go.
31:17So I took what I wanted, put it out of my reach.
31:22I wanted to pay for my successes with all my defeats.
31:26And if heaven was all that was promised to me, why don't I pray for death?
31:34Well, now it seems like the unraveling started too soon.
31:38Now I'm swooping in all ways and I'm drinking.
31:41Nice shot.
31:42Yeah.
31:43Still cupping that wrist a little.
31:45One of these days you'll figure it out.
31:47Get out of here.
31:50Okay, now look.
31:51I don't want you to take it easy on me, alright?
31:53I wanna see everything you got.
32:04Holy shit.
32:07Holy shit.
