00:00actually but he has five shots back at the turn today and then he makes four consecutive birdies
00:04with the aforementioned broomstick he gets the 16 joe grinder hands him a six iron asked him to hit
00:10the best six iron of his life he does that he said he went in the and his that's right
00:17you were
00:17standing there ready to interview daniel berger carra banks that was what he said to carra banks
00:22on that green after winning hit the bed joe asked him to hit the best six iron of his life
00:26he almost hold it out for albatross he makes that eagle putt he made 144 feet and seven inches of
00:32putts on sunday and a staff just did almost half of an 11 i mean you have that 50 footer
00:39he the most
00:40strokes gain uh short game so around the green plus putting in a pga tour win the shot link era
00:45uh the
00:46second highest number was patrick reed at the 20 his was the highest auctions of the highest gains
00:5216.3 strokes this week uh patrick had the previous high mark gained 15 strokes in mexico in 2020
00:58so first the strokes came putting first around the green this week and again we just talked about it
01:03on extremely challenging greens that created visible frustration for a lot of guys and that
01:10saved him in a lot of ways because he did not have a good week off the tee so better
01:14on the weekend
01:15better on the weekend better on the weekend but you know missed a couple greens to start the day today
01:19looked a little shaky and and you were you're kind of wondering hey is burr gonna run away from this
01:23thing is ludwig oberg gonna be involved and then actually works his way back into it plays great in
01:28the back and obviously wins this tournament um i was we were texting again as we were kind of coming
01:33on the stretch and i was a little bit of a prisoner of the moment there after that make on
01:3713 trying to
01:38remember the last time i'd seen a putter this hot on a sunday like do you have any comparisons you
01:43can
01:44make off top of head just watching a guy like that who needs who needs to make a bunch of
01:48putts to get in the mix and does it over and over and over again and also some some crucial
01:53saves as
01:53well gosh i've i've watched a ton of golf and i wish something just popped in my brain straight away
01:58um i'm sure i'm sure i can i'll think of something later but nothing straight away uh has come to
02:04my
02:04head but it's incredible man he he willed himself into contention with with his short game his putting
02:10uh but i think too like when you look back at the beginning of the week and how difficult
02:15thursday and friday played the fairways were firmer uh the the wind was definitely blowing
02:20it was an issue thursday and friday guys were really struggling to hit the fairways because
02:24they had gotten so firm and he hit nine fairways of his first 28 uh attempts so i went back
02:32and
02:32looked to see like all right where was the issue you know which way was he missing it and at
02:37the end
02:38of the week when i tallied up the difference between you know left and right he had doubled the amount
02:43of right misses and he did left misses and a majority in the first cut the ball right you know
02:48yeah he had he missed 18 fairways to the right he missed nine to the left so i mean just
02:53crazy that
02:54he missed that many fairways but he basically had 50 of his fairways on the week um and if you
03:01had
03:01told me at the beginning of the week that a guy that lost three and a half strokes off the
03:05tee
03:05uh at bay hill won the golf tournament i said what in the world happened because this place has been
03:12well uh known for how well you have to hit it off the tee hit fairways it's the only chance
03:17you have
03:18uh but it also makes it a fun spin too in an argument that you could say that any type
03:28of player can win
03:28here you know you you see guys that that absolutely just are bombers that i've won here guys that are
03:34like
03:34russell henley that are short knockers that hit a bunch of fairways now you have a scenario where
03:40you have a guy who's ironed it well and then just unbelievable on the around the greens and that
03:47was enough for for actually to win now i did mention that he did drive it better on the weekend
03:51he
03:52did nine fairways both rounds which i think is good you know yeah for a guy that plays golf and
03:58if i
03:58had nine fairways i'm pretty dang happy with that uh so obviously figured something out on the weekend
04:04with with the driver because it wasn't uh it wasn't too big of an issue uh but man just willed
04:10he willed
04:10his way into contention with that that broomstick
04:13you
04:13you
