THURSDAY. JUST WENT THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AFTER THAT. >> HERE WE ARE AND 17. SECOND 532 YARD PAR FOUR IN A ROW WHEN YOU HER AND SAY THAT THERE'S ONLY BEEN TWO PARTIES COMBINED AND 11 AFTER SCHEFFLER'S BIRDIE AFTER 16 AND IF YOU WANT A BIRDIE THIS OLD, YOU BETTER HIT THIS FAIRWAY. >> SCHEFFLER HAS TO THINK, I GOT HIM WHERE I WANT HIM. >> IT BE OKAY. >> WE SEE HIM WALKING DOWN THERE IN FRONT OF SCHEFFLER AND HE'S BEEN TOLD TO HURRY UP. IDEALLY, YOU HAD A LITTLE DRAW HERE AND THE WIND IS BLOWING FROM THE RIGHT. HE LIKES TO HIT THAT LOW-CUT AND DOWNHILL QUITE A BIT THE SHOT >> HI LEFT SIDE AND TRY TO CUT IT TOWARDS THAT BUNKER. WIND IS PULLING GET A LITTLE BIT. >> A BIG SYCAMORE TREE ON THE LEFT SIDE THAT HE AVOIDED AND THAT'S IN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FAIRWAY. A GOOD START TO THIS WHOLE. RORY IS PUMMELED. TWO DRIVES HERE THIS WEEK. HE DID GET IN THE RIGHT ROUGH ON DAY TWO. >> HE HAS DRIVEN IT ALSO THE LAST TWO DAYS AND MISSED THE LAST TWO FAIRWAYS TO THE LEFT THOUGH. >> THIS IS THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE FIRST HOLE, SO HE LIKES TO HIT HIGH DRAWS. >> I WOULD IMAGINE THIS THING STARTS RIGHT ON THAT TREE LINE. >> UP THE LEFT SIDE, RIGHT ON THE EDGE. >> THERE IS A BUNKER THERE THAT IS BETWEEN THE SECOND AND 17th. YOU SEE THE PEOPLE WITH THE SHOT LINK THAT MEASURING WHERE THAT WENT. UP AHEAD, JUST A MOMENT AGO, THIS IS DUSTIN FOR A BIRDIE, WHICH IS DISPLAY. THIS IS THE IDEAL PLACE TO PLAY FROM. FINALLY. LOOK AT YOU, DUSTIN. ONLY THE FOURTH BIRDIE TODAY AND TWO OF THEM HAVE BEEN FROM OFF THE GREEN. THAT'S GOING TO FEEL PRETTY GOOD. HE'S LOOKING AT HIS PUTTER LIKE, HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? KNUCKLES FROM AUSTIN. BACK TO 16. >> WHAT'S THE STORY WITH FOWLER? >> IT'S NOT A GREAT ONE. ZERO ANGER. THEY ARE LOOKING BETWEEN THE LEFT BUNKER IN THE FRONT BUNKER COMING OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE GREEN. >> HEAVY. >> WHEN YOU CATCH THEM HEAVY, A LOT OF TIMES THEY GO LEFT. >> I CAN TELL YOU THAT RORY KICKED OUT INTO THE SECOND FAIRWAY ON 17, SO A GREAT BREAK FOR HIM THERE. NOW, CLARK. >> TO SLANG THAT WITH THE 50 DID AGREE HERE. >> THAT IS REALLY HIGH. NO CHANCE THERE. >> THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A PERFECT TIME FOR HIM TO HOLD THAT FATE UP AGAINST THE WIND AT THEIR OUT TO THE RIGHT. >> HE PROBABLY WAS TRYING TO. HE WAS AIMED AT LEFT-CENTER THERE. INTERESTED IN, YOU KNOW, WITH THE PRESSURE ON, JUST DIDN'T PULL IT OFF. >> DREW A LITTLE BIT ON HIM >> CAUGHT A HUGE BREAK. LOOK AT WHERE THAT ENDED UP. >> THAT IS THE SECOND FAIRWAY THAT THE PARALLEL WITH 17 WELL TO LEFT AND WHAT A BREAK THAT IS. >> HE PLAYED THE WHOLE THIS WAY ONE OF THE DAYS ON PURPOSE AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE ROUGH AND A LOT OF PLAYERS OPTING TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT RIGHT SIDE BUT IT IS AN AWFUL ANGLE. YOU CAN SEE THE ANGLE OF THE FRONT BUNKER WITH THAT RIGHT TO LEFT PITCH AND SAME WITH THE GREEN AND BACK TO 16. >> CLARK TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THIS THIRD SHOT. FINDING A WAY TO GET IT UP AND DOWN. >> WE WENT TO LAND THIS 124. 125. >> ALL RIGHT. >> 25 AT THE 16. AND JUST OFF THE RIGHT RIGHT THERE. ALL RIGHT? AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LITTLE LONGER LITTLE LEFT OF IT. YOU WANT TO MAKE A PUTT HERE. >> A GREAT DISCUSSION BETWEEN THESE TWO REALLY CLARIFYING EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THIS SHOT. >> THEY CAN COME OUT OF HERE WITH A PAR. THIS WOULD BE A HUGE BONUS. >> JUST HOW THEY DREW IT UP. THEY WANTED TO GET IT PASSED THE WHOLE, SO THEY HAD AN UPHILL PUTT AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE HAS. ONE MORE LOOK. A DIFFERENT ANGLE. THEY WERE ASKING FOR IT TO BE RIGHT. HERE IS THE TWO HOLES. SECOND, FOR RORY. ENDED UP, YOU SEE, HE'S IN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE 17th FAIRWAY. I SAID RYDER CUP A KNOTWORK OR CUP. I WAS AKIN TO THINKING, YOU ARE. WORRY, IS HE GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME PUTTING IN THAT AREA WERE JUSTIN JOHNSON WAS FROM THE SIDE. IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS A GREAT ANGLE. >> WHAT YOU THINK THE PLAY IS FROM HERE? >> I THINK HE GOES RIGHT AT IT AND I THINK GOING RIGHT MIGHT BE TOUGHER BECAUSE IT'S DIFFICULT. >> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GOING LEFT. >> YES, I THINK HIS IDEAL PLAY WOULD BE 15 FEET LEFT OF THE WHOLE BECAUSE HE DOES HAVE A BACKSTOP ON THE GREEN. IF HE GOES AT IT, IT FLOATS AWAY, BUT HE GOES 15 FEET LEFT IN AND SOAPS BACK IN THEM IN MY THINKING, HE TRIES TO HIT IT THERE AND IF HE MISSES IT LEFT, THAT'S FINE AS WELL. >> YOU CAN SEE WORRIES LOOKING TO THE LEFT SIDE. >> I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT HARRY DIAMOND HAS TOLD HIM RIGHT WHERE TO HIT THIS BALL. >> YOU CAN SEE HIS EYES WHEN YOU LOOK INTO HIS EYES, FOR SURE. >> THIS IS THE SIX IRON. HE'S GOING TO TRY TO HOLD SOMETHING UP TO THIS AND HAVE IT COMING AS SOFT AS IT CAN. >> HE HAS TO GET UP IN THE AIR TO HOLD THE SCREEN. >> UP IN THE AIR IS NOT A PROBLEM. THIS IS ON A FANTASTIC LINE. >> WILL IT STAY? AN INCREDIBLE BREAK AFTER THAT TO SHOT GETS IN THERE. HEAR THE SOUND LIKE IT HIT A CONCRETE. >> NO OTHER PLAYER IN GOLF CAN DO WHAT HE JUST DID. NOBODY CAN WASTE AT THAT HI, THAT FAR, WITH THAT MUCH SPIN. NOT IN TODAY'S GAME. THAT IS WHAT TIGER USED TO DO. HE HAD AN ADVANTAGE ON EVERYBODY. >> THE CROWD DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THAT BALL WENT. THEY WERE SURPRISED WHEN IT LANDED BY THE FLAK. >> 197. >> TRYING TO VOICE THAT WAY UP IN THE AIR. HE'S TRYING TO USE THE SLOPE IN THE MIDDLE THE GREEN. >> A BAD KICK THERE. THIS IS BEEN THE HARDEST GREEN ON THE COURSE TO HIT. IT'S KNOCKING ON THIS PART FOUR AND TWO, THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY A TERRIBLE BUNKER TO PLAY OUT OF OVER TO 16. A MOMENT AGO, FOWLER START FROM THAT BERMUDA. HE WAS TRYING TO PLAY THE SLOPE AND LET IT TUMBLE DOWN THE HILL AND JUST DIDN'T CATCH ENOUGH OF IT. NOW WIFE, A FOURTH SHOT. >> IT WAS A MESSY ONE AND HE'S TRYING TO USE THAT TERRAIN TO GET THIS GOLF BALL. >> THAT'S WHAT HE WANTED. THE THIRD SHOT. >> IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEBODY STEPPED ON IT THOUGH. >> WYNDHAM CLARK, HIS PUT IS AN INCH INSIDE SEVEN FEET. >> INTERESTING OBSERVATION. WHEN THEY HEARD THAT HUGE WAR DOWN AND 17 GREEN, BOTH ELLIS AND HIM TOOK A PEEK AND TOOK A PEEK TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING, SO OBVIOUSLY AWARE THAT RORY HAS DONE SOMETHING AND NOT 100% AWARE OF WHAT THE OUTCOME HAS BEEN. >> MacKLEMORE, THAT 17th GREEN IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO HOLD. HE'S GOING TO HAVE A LOOK BUT NOT REAL CLOSE. THIS IS A HUGE PUTT FOR WYNDHAM CLARK. >> HIS CONVERSION HAS BEEN GREAT. BIG WENT ON THE LAST ALL, SO NONE BIGGER THAN HIS CAREER THAN THIS ONE. >> IS SIX AND-19 GETTING IT UP AND DOWN. YOU ARE RIGHT. THIS IS THE BIGGEST ONE. I SIT ON THE PREVIOUS HOLE, HE HASN'T FLINCHED ALL DAY AND HE MISSED THAT ONE. >> I THINK THIS IS AN EASIER PUTT THAT HE HAD BACK ON 15. I THINK THAT'S A LITTLE MORE STRAIGHTFORWARD. IF THEY GET THE READ WRITE, HE'S GOING SLIGHTLY UPHILL AND I THINK THAT HOPES. >> I'M STANDING RIGHT BEHIND IT. THERE IS NOT HARDLY ANYONE BREAKING THIS LEFT OR RIGHT, BUT NOT GIVING IT AWAY AT ALL. >> TO STAY AT 11 UNDER IN A TWO SHOT LEAD. >> BOY, IT IS GETTING TOUGH FOR HIM TO CLOSE THIS THING OUT. ANOTHER LOOK. >> IT NOT LIKE HE'S BEEN THERE BEFORE. RIGHT? I MEAN, YOU DON'T KNOW UNTIL YOU GET THERE. >> IT'S THE HARDEST THING IN THE WORLD TO TRY AND CLOSEOUT A CHAMPIONSHIP. >> SCOTTY SHUFFLERS A NUMBER ONE PLAYER IN THE WORLD BUT HE'S NOT THE NUMBER ONE BUNKER PLAYER IN THE WORLD. 177th BUT HE PLAYED THAT EXCELLENT AND WE SAW THAT GRAPHIC GOING TO-8 THIS WEEK. NOW, LOOK AT RORY. WHEN HE SAW HIS LINE, NOT BAD. WE COULDN'T TELL FROM BACK THERE. HE COULDN'T SEE THE BALL FROM WHERE HE HIT HIS SECOND SHOT. IS JUST ABOUT 32 FEET WITH ABOUT THREE FEET OF FRENCH TO GO THROUGH AND THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ACTION DOWN THERE, IS THERE, JOHN? >> IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S COMING OUT OF THAT LOW AREA GOING UP THE HILL AND MOVING TO HIS LEFT AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE AN EXACT CARBON COPY. A BIG GROAN GOES UP AND OBVIOUSLY APPLEBY IN THE NEXT GROUP. >> YOU SEE CLARK YEAR. THIS IS A TOP AND THAT'S FOR BOGEY. IS A LITTLE MUCH YEAR AND CLARK DROPS TO 10 AND IT'S THE SECOND HALF OF HIS PUTT. >> THE BREAK LEFT. JUST STAYS OUT TO THE RIGHT. I KNOW RORY FEELS LIKE HE GOT A BREAK AFTER THAT HE SHOT. COULD HAVE EASILY STAYED IN THAT LEFT. FROM McILROY . WATCH THIS BODY LANGUAGE HEAR FROM McILROY . THAT IS THE BACK EXTENSION AND HOW ABOUT THIS, REESE FIRST WIN EVER WAS A WELLS FARGO CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2010 AND HIS SECOND WIN WAS 2011 U.S. OPEN. WYNDHAM CLARK'S FIRST WIN, WELLS FARGO A MONTH AGO . BACK ON THE TV. FOWLER WITH THE HONOR HERE AT 17. >> ON THE LEFT SIDE. WILL IT HANG ON? YES, BEAUTIFUL DRIVE. NOT QUITE AS FAR AS SHUFFLERS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. WYNDHAM CLARK, HE BOWE GET 17 YESTERDAY. REMEMBER THAT SECOND SHOT. COMING OFF TWO BOGEYS IN A ROW. >> HE FOUND THE FAIRWAY, WHICH IS GOOD. LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN SYNC IT UP NOW. >> WAY LEFT. >> THAT IS WAY LEFT. IS IT COMING BACK? >> IT IS TRYING TO COME BACK AND IT IS FIGHTING AND IT'S GOING TO BE CLOSE. >> THAT IS AN AWESOME SHOT THERE. JUST MISSED IT THE SIDE OF A SYCAMORE TREE. LEFT SIDE OF THE FAIRWAY AND POUNDED DOWN THERE. >> WHAT A GOOD SHOT FOR WYNDHAM CLARK. WHILE HE WAS ON THE TEE, THIS IS SCOTTY FOR THAT SAFE. >> POURS THAT IN AND TWO PARS ON 17. RORY WALKS UP TO 18. >> YOU WONDER, HE'S WONDERING, I DON'T KNOW IF PAR WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH. YOU CAN'T COUNT ON ON A 30 HERE. THERE HAS BEEN FOUR BIRDIES ALL DAY AT THIS 502 YARD 18th. >> ONE THING YOU CAN COUNT ON, THE FAIRWAY IS 58 YARDS WIDE. RORY IS GOING TO SWING ABOUT AS HARD AS HE CAN TO GET THERE AS CLOSE TO THE GREEN AS HE POSSIBLY CAN. >> FANS ARE LINING UP AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THIS 18 AND LET SET IT UP FOR YOU. 502 YARDS. >> IT IS A LONG ONE. IT IS UPHILL AND THERE IS NO MARINE LAYER AT THE MOMENT. THE SUN IS GOING TO BE IN THEIR EYES FOR SURE. THE LEFT ROUGH IS TERRIBLE AND A HORRIBLE ANGLE FROM THERE. THE RIGHT IS NOT GOOD EITHER. A DRIVE IN THE FAIRWAY FOR RORY TODAY. I BELIEVE WITH HIS ADRENALINE AND ALL OF THAT PUMPING, A SEVEN IRON IF HE HAS A GOOD DRIVE AND LAST FOR LORI McILROY AND I THINK HE NEEDS A PRETTY AND IN HIS MIND, HE SAID, BIRDIE, THIS IS A GIANT THERE RIGHT IN A SHORT TO MID IRON FOR THE SECOND SHOT. >> SCHEFFLER VERSE TO PLAY IN THE SECOND TO LAST PAIRING. >> HONESTLY, YOU NEVER WANT TO GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF BUT YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT THIS PAIN IS ASSESSABLE AS LONG AS HE HITS THE FAIRWAY. >> WE NOTICED THE OTHER DAY WHEN THE SUN CAME OUT AND PLAYERS ARE SHOOTING BACK AT THE SUN, WE STARTED SEEING DUCK HOOKS AND BLOCKS TO THE RIGHT. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO LOOK UP THERE AND GET BLINDED BY THE LIGHT THERE, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE SUN IS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET IT. >> THAT'S AND IS STILL LEFT OF THE FAIRWAY. IT'S NOT IN YOUR TARGET LINE. >> SCHEFFLER IS TAKING IT RIGHT AT THE CENTER. GOOD-LOOKING TEE SHOT. >> 91 IN THE AIR UPHILL >> McILROY, WHO HAS HIT SOME MAMMOTH DRIVES THIS WEEK. >> THIS IS THE BEGINNING AS WELL. RIGHT UP THE CENTER. A SMALL CUT. >> THAT GOES RIGHT BY IN GREAT POSITION TO GET A BIRDIE THREE. >> McILROY HOPING THAT THIS IS THE DAY THAT HE'S BEEN WAITING FOR A LONG TIME. SINCE 2014 NINE YEARS AGO. >> SHOWING A LOT OF PATIENTS TODAY. >> COULD HAVE EASILY GONE CRAZY AND TRY TO PUSH SHOTS. HASN'T MADE ANY PUTTS. >> 58 MAJOR SHARP. THE PLAYERS CURRENTLY UNDER THE AGE OF 50 AND ONLY TIGER WOODS HAS MORE WITH 41 THEN McILROY. I FIXTURE OF MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIPS. THE COUNTDOWN TO DOUBLE DIGITS HASN'T BEEN THE CASE IN THIS GUY WILL HAVE A BIG PLAN ON WHETHER WORRIES ABLE TO GET THAT. >> SURE WILL AND IF HE WAS NERVOUS, HE DIDN'T SHOW IT. HE HAD THE LONGEST DRIVE OF THE DAY ON THIS 351 YARDS AND IN THE FAIRWAY, MOST IMPORTANTLY. >> FOWLERS SECOND. >> 16 YARDS BEHIND WYNDHAM CLARK AT 202. LISTEN THIS WRITE UP IN THE AIR RIGHT AT THE CBC TV TOWER. >> YOU CAN LAND A GOLF BALL JUST ON THE GREEN AND GETS TO STAY ON THE GREEN. I DON'T SEE ANY PLAYERS LATE IN THE DAY BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT. WHAT A SHOT BY FOWLER. >> HE FOUND THE FAIRWAY, WHICH WAS STEP ONE, CAN HE FIND THE PUTTING SURFACE. HE TAKES A DIRECT ROUTE. ONLY 181 BUT THE SHORTER COVER OVER THE MIDDLE THE BUNKERS IF YOU LIKE. >> ONLY 13 YARDS DEEP ON THIS LEFT SIDE. >> LISTED THIS IN THE AIR. HE'S PULLED THIS. >> HE'S PULLED FIVE IRONS ON THIS BACKSIDE. >> YES. >> HE STARTED RIGHT THERE ON THE SECOND HOLE WITH HIS IRON INTO NUMBER TWO AND HITTING THAT WAY LEFT. >> THAT IS A GOOD MESS. THAT IS A VERY GOOD PLACE TO MISS. >> HE PULLED THAT WEDGE OVER THE GREEN ON 15. THE ONLY MAN TO BOGEY THAT TODAY. NOT WORKING AS WELL WITH THE IRONS. HE STRIVEN IT MAGNIFICENTLY. YES RAN THIS WHOLE, >> THAT HAS LOOKED PRETTY GOOD. SCHEFFLER IS THE FIRST HERE JUST BEHIND McILROY . >> IT'S BEEN SO LONG FOR HIM RORY WITH A MAJOR WIN THAT SCHEFFLER -- HE WAS 18 YEARS OLD AND ENTERING HIS FRESHMAN YEAR WHEN RORY LAST WON A MAJOR. >> 193 FOR SCHEFFLER. REGARDLESS, IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE GABRIEL IN THE AIR IF YOU ARE RORY RIGHT NOW. GETTING TO SEE HOW HE HAS BEEN HIT BY THE WIND AND HOW HE HAS BEEN REACTING TO IT. HE HAS A SIX IRON RIGHT NOW. IT FEELS LIKE A LOT OF CLUB TO ME. >> THE BEST IS COMING THIS DIRECTION. >> 10 MORE. GOT IT BACK THEN. >> BACK AT THE GREEN. HOLDING THE BALL. >> VERY LOW. WORKING LEFT OR RIGHT ON A GOOD LINE. >> THE BALL DOESN'T GO TOO FAR. COULD FEEDBACK. >> IT'S COMING BACK. HE HAD THAT SPECTACULAR FINISH YESTERDAY WHEN HE HELD OUT AT 17 AND MADE A BIRDIE ON THIS ROLE IN A BIRDIE HERE WOULD GO A LONG WAY FOR KEEPING THEM IN THE GAME AT THIS U.S. OPEN. >> IT DEPENDS ON THE SHOT COMING UP FROM RORY McILROY. >> 181. >> THE LEFT SIDE OF THE GREEN. NOT CUTTING. >> SAFELY ON. TWO PUTTS FROM THERE TO POST NINE UNDER AND WONDERING IF IT WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH WITH CLARK BEHIND HIM AT 17. >> NOT FAR FROM WHERE KAM SMITH GOT UP AND DOWN BUT THE SHOT BY CLARK. >> HE HAS HAD INCREDIBLE TOUCH AROUND THE GREENS AND HIS COACH FROM OKLAHOMA STATE SAID THIS GUY IS A GENIUS AROUND THE GREENS. HERE IS A REPLAY. >> NOT A LOT OF RISK. >> YOU SEE THAT BODY ROTATE THROUGH. CHINA MAKE THAT SHOT. >> YOU NEVER HIT THE SCREEN FAIR FOUR DAYS HERE. HE'S MADE A FOUR. >> I WOULD IMAGINE THAT BACK IN ARIZONA, THEY'VE GOTTEN A LITTLE OPPORTUNITY. ONE OF THE MANY PGA TOUR PLAYERS HAS BEEN A MEMBER THERE. MOVED UP TO SCOTTSDALE AFTER HE WAS BORN TO COLORADO AND UP COMES LORI McILROY ON ANOTHER GREEN IT REGULATION . >> NOT AN AUTOMATIC TWO BUT FOR RORY THOUGH. HE'S A LONG WAY AWAY. >> HE'S NUMBER ONE THIS WEEKEND THAT WILL BE, OFTEN TIMES, A RECIPE TO PUT THIS CHAMPIONSHIP AWAY. >> IT'S BEEN THE FORM LED THE LAST 10 YEARS. THAT'S FOR SURE. HARD TO BE ROY McILROY. >> THAT'S ONLY THE SECOND TIME AND REGULATION A MAJOR FOR McILROY. WE WILL SEE. FOWLER SINCE IT BY AT 17. >> HE'S GOING TO MAKE A FOUR TO STAY AT SIX UNDER. >> THE ONLY OTHER TIME THAT McILROY WAS NUMBER ONE AND REGULATION WAS THE 2011 U.S. OPEN, WHICH HE WON BY EIGHT SHOTS AT CONGRESSIONAL AND WHEN I'M CLARK COMES ACROSS THE BRIDGE OVER TO THE >> TEE. >> WHAT A FEELING. HE HAS MADE A COMEBACK. HE CHANGED THE WAY HE THINKS AND PLAYS THE GAME AND HE CAME DOWN WITH A PURPOSE. THE RANDOM CHANCE THAT HE WOULD SWITCH TO RICKY. THE IDENTICAL PUTTER AND POST A WIN BEFORE RICKY AND NOW HAS A CHANCE TO WIN THE U.S. OPEN AND THE FACT THAT HE HAS MADE THIS A COMEBACK A MENTAL CHANGE, THAT IS A BIG CHANGE. NEVER MUCH OF A QUESTION FOR WINDOM PARK. BETWEEN THE YEARS OF STUFF THAT HAS MADE THE DIFFERENCE. >> UP AHEAD ON THE GREEN. McILROY . REMEMBER WHEN HE WON THAT FIRST OF FOUR MAJORS IN THAT U.S. OPEN IN 2011, HE CAME AFTER THE DISASTER AT THE MASTERS WHEN HE HAD THE LEAD HEADING INTO THE FINAL NINE THERE AND HE REBOUNDED, BOUNCE RIGHT BACK, CLIPPED UP THREE MORE AFTER THAT WIN AND CONGRESSIONAL AND THIS IS OUTSIDE JUST 41 FEET. >> A BIG LEFT TO RIGHT AND THERE IS OVERDUE AND THERE IS RORY McILROY. >> THAT IS SOME BIG-TIME PRESSURE PLAY COMING HOME HERE. IT APPEARS THAT HE'S GOING TO PAR THIS BEASTLY TRIO OF PAR FOURS COMING HOME AND IT'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER PAR. JUST THE ONE BLEMISH ON THE CAR AT THE BOGEY AT 14. RATHER THAN NOT, THE BIRDIE AT THE FIRST AND ALL THE REST IS PARS. >> YOU COULDN'T HAVE BEEN EASIER TEE SHOT WITH A ONE-SHOT LEAD ON THE FINAL HOLE. 58 YARDS WIDE. GOES WITH THE CUT. >> THIS IS HEADED RIGHT. HAS HE OVERDONE IT? NO. >> THAT'S GOING TO HANG UP THERE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. >> HE USED ALL THE FAIRWAY. >> IT IS NESTLED UP NEAR OUR TOWER HERE. >> HE HAS HIT SIX POLES WITH HIS LONG TO MID IRONS TODAY. EVEN SHORT IRONS, HE HAS PULLED IT SIX TIMES AND HAS ONE LAST MOMENT TO GO. >> HE IS A U.S. OPEN CHAMPION. >> EVEN THOUGH SCHEFFLER COMES UP SHORT, ONCE AGAIN, MAJOR AFTER MAJOR, JUST A PART OF THE LEADERBOARD. DEEP INTO THESE THINGS. IT'S GOING TO BE HIS NINTH TOP 10 IN HIS LAST 13 MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIPS. >> PRETTY EASY FOR SCOTTY SCHEFFLER RIGHT NOW. >> DISABLED WHEN HERE TO MAKE IT OFFICIAL NINE UNDER. LEADS THAT AT THE MOMENT. CLARK BEHIND HIM WITH A PAR FOUR. WILL BE HOME BY ONE. LEADER IN THE CLUBHOUSE. McILROY WITH A FINAL-ROUND 70 . >> A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED. YOU CAN KIND OF TELL HE HAS LAID IT ALL OUT THERE TODAY. JUST THIS TEE TO GREEN SPECTACULAR. >> 3295 DAYS SINCE THEIR LAST MAJOR AND HE'S WONDERING IF HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE LONGER. >> IT IS ALL UP TO WYNDHAM CLARK. >> ALL RIGHT. WALK IN BETWEEN THESE SHOTS. WHAT IS RUNNING THROUGH HIS MIND HERE. >> PROBABLY LISTENING TO THE VOICE OF HIS LATE MOM. SHE LOST HER TO BREAST CANCER AT THE AGE OF 18. SHE PASSED AWAY AT B,55 OLD. THE MESSAGE TO HER SON, WYNDHAM CLARK, JUST BEFORE SHE PASSED AWAY. CLARK SAID, WHEN MY MOM WAS SICK, I WAS IN COLLEGE AND SHE TOLD ME, HEY, PLAY BIG. PLAY FOR SOMETHING BIGGER THAN YOURSELF. YOU HAVE A PLATFORM TO WITNESS OR HOLD OR BE A ROLE MODEL FOR SO MANY PEOPLE AND FOR THE MOST PART, CLARK HAS GOTTEN IN HIS OWN WAY IN HIS PGA TOUR CAREER AT THE AGE OF 29 BUT LOOKS LIKE HE IS FINALLY FIGURE THINGS OUT AND HE HAS USED THE POWER OF HER MEMORY THIS WEEK AND LIGHTLY IN HIS PGA TOUR CAREER TO REALLY TURN IT AROUND. HE'S ALWAYS HAD THE TALENT. >> JUST A VERY EMOTIONAL GROWING UP AND I THINK THAT IT MAY BE A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER FOR A WHILE AND HE STAYED ANGRY AT HIS OFF AND TURNED IT AROUND. THIS HAS TO BE THE LEAST EMOTIONAL SHOT HE CAN PLAY AND GET BACK DOWN TO BUSINESS. >> THERE IS McILROY IN SCORING AT NINE UNDER. >> YES, NO EMOTIONS ALLOWED. THIS IS WHAT YOU DO. THIS IS YOUR JOB. HE AND HIS CADDIE, JOHN ELLIS, IS TRYING TO GET THE YARDAGE THAT ON AND CAN HE EXECUTE WONDERFUL SHOT? >> THERE WAS ANOTHER COLORADO NATIVE. HERMAN'S FAMILY MOVED FROM KANSAS TO BOULDER WHEN HE WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL AND I TELL YOU WHAT, SHOWING A LOT OF THAT U.S. OPEN TYPE OF GRIT TODAY WITH THE SAVES AND PRESSURE PACKED SHOTS. >> HAD A CHIP AT THE LAST HOLE. >> BALLARD TO GO FIRST YEAR. >> I TELL YOU WHAT, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND THIS. BLENDS IN WITH THE CROWD. >> GET IN THERE BALL. >> THAT'S WHAT CAN HAPPEN. THAT'S A TERRIBLE SPOT. A REALLY TOUGH SHOT FOR RICKY. A VERY NARROW ENTRANCE TO THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GREEN IS NOT ALL THAT WIDE. WHAT'S HE LOOKING AT? >> LOOKING AT 197. THE WIND COMING IN OFF THE LEFT. ALL OF THE ROOM LEFT IN THIS WHOLE. KEEP IT FROM GOING RIGHT. >> TWO PUTTS FROM THERE AND CLARK WILL CLOSE THE DEAL A MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP. >> HE WASN'T ABOUT TO GO OVER THE GREEN. HE KNELT AT THAT. ALL OF THE A DRILLING AND EVERYTHING COASTING THROUGH HIS VEINS AND HE SMOKED IT. IT SHORT. YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN SAYING THAT MOST OF THE DAY. YOU HAVE TO BE A GREAT LACQUER OF THE BALL TO WIN AND IF HE CAN LIKE THIS UP THERE, HE WILL BE THE CHAMPION. >> OKLAHOMA STATE, REALLY HAVING A ROUGH TIME. HIS MOM PASSED AWAY AND CONTEMPLATED QUITTING GOLF. THERE WAS TIMES HE SAID THAT WHEN HE STORMED OFF THE GOLF COURSE AND QUALIFYING WERE IN TOURNAMENTS, JUST DROVE US FAST AS HE COULD AND HE WAS A MESS. HE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE WAS GOING. JUST THE PRESSURE OF GOLF AND NOT HAVING MY MOM THERE AND SOMEBODY I COULD CALL IT WAS REALLY TOUGH FOR ME. THIS COULD BE AN UNBELIEVABLE WALK UP HERE AT THE 18 IF HE ENDS UP BEING THE U.S. OPEN CHAMPION. HE HAS HIS WHOLE FAMILY HERE. HIS DAD IS HERE. >> HERE COME THE FANS. >> HIS OLDER SISTER HIS HERE IN THE FANS BEING LET THROUGH IN FRONT OF THE 18th GREEN HERE TO WITNESS IT. HE TOOK A LOOK BACK AND SAID, WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON. >> HE CANNOT LET THIS BREAK HIS CONCENTRATION. IT HAS COME DOWN TO THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENT OF HIS LIFE. THIS IS ALL TOUCHY-FEELY STUFF. >> THIS IS WHAT THE USGA SAID THAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO. THEY WERE GOING TO LET THE FANS COME IN HERE AND ENCIRCLE THIS 18th GREEN TO GIVE IT MORE ATMOSPHERE. SO NOW, WINDOM PARK IS ENTIRELY SURROUNDED BY WHAT SEEMS LIKE ALL OF LOS ANGELES. HIS OLDER SISTER IS HERE. SHE'S 33 YEARS OLD. THIS IS THE FIRST TOURNAMENT EVER WATCHING HER BROTHER PLAY. >> SHE PICKED THE GOOD ONE. >> HIS YOUNGER BROTHER BRANDON IS HERE. THEY ARE TIGHT. >> THIS IS SO HARD FOR HIM TO SIT AND WAIT AND ALL OF THE NOISE, IT'S WHERE YOU WANT TO BE AN ATHLETE. >> I DON'T THINK SO. I TELL YOU WHAT. HE IS A LOT TO BE PROUD OF THIS WEEK. >> FOWLER HAD A SHARE OF THAT 54 HOLE LEAD WITH WYNDHAM CLARK AND THERE WAS SO MANY HOPEFUL FANS THAT HE HAS CREATED A THROUGH HIS YEARS ON THE PAJ TOUR THAT WE WERE HOPING THAT FOWLER WOULD BREAK THROUGH IN AND SAID, IT IS THE GUYS HE'S PLAYED WITH ALL DAY LONG, WHO JUST MADE A MURDER CHAIR AS THAT GUY. >> GUYS, I HAVE TO ADMIT, THE CROWDS SURROUNDING THE SCREEN WAS A BIT UNSETTLING BUT DID NOT DETER HIM FROM CONTINUING TO GO ABOUT HIS BUSINESS, FOCUSING ON HIS LINE. >> HOW TOUGH IS THIS POT? >> IT 60 FEET. JUST UNDER 60 FEET. >> IT'S WHAT'S RUNNING ON IT. >> IT'S ALL ABOUT WHAT'S RUNNING ON IT. IS THERE ANY MOVEMENT OFF THAT BUNKER? IT LOOKS PRETTY FLAT OFF THAT BUNKER. >> THERE IS A LITTLE PUSH OVERALL AND IT IS A MATTER OF, CAN YOU GET ENOUGH SPEED TO GET IT UP TO THE WHOLE. A LOT OF SITUATIONS LIKE THIS COME UP SHORT. >> THAT CUTTER THAT HE COPIED FROM RICKIE FOWLER. HE IS HAVING HIS BIGGEST MOMENT OF THE DAY. >> THAT'S PRETTY COZY. >> IT'S OVER. HE DID IT. IT CAME DOWN TO A LACK FROM 59 FEET NINE INCHES AND HE COZIED IT UP TO WIN THE UNITED STATES OPEN. WOW! >> THAT'S IMPRESSIVE. I MEAN, THIS GUY IS AN ATHLETE. HE SHOWED IT. HIS CADDIE SAYS, BE AN ATHLETE AND THAT'S WHAT IT TOOK HERE. IT IS STILL A PROMISING WEEK FOR FOWLER AND NOW, THIS STAGE IS CLEAR FOR WYNDHAM CLARK. HE TAKES DOWN ALL THE STARS IN LOS ANGELES TO WIN THE UNITED STATES OPEN. THAT'S HIS GIRLFRIEND ALICIA. THE WHOLE FAMILY IS HERE. YOU BET HIS MOM IS WATCHING DOWN FROM HIGH ABOVE. >> IT DIDN'T COME EASY, DAN. NOTHING CAME EASY FOR HIM. >> YOU CAN TELL BY THE REACTION FROM EVERYBODY WHO KNOWS WYNDHAM CLARK SO WELL, THEY KNOW WHAT HE HAS BEEN THROUGH. THEY KNOW WHAT THIS WHOLE JOURNEY HAS BEEN ABOUT AND IN THE END, THE TOUGHEST GUY AT L.A. CC IS YOUR LATEST U.S. OPEN CHAMPION. I FIRST TIME MAJOR CHAMPION AT THESE EVENTS FOR THE FIFTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR. >> BEGIN THE YEAR WITH 163rd IN THE WORLD. HIS WORLD RECORD DALLAS 32. OFFICIAL WORK OFF. IT DOESN'T MEASURE HEART. CLARK SHOWED US AND THE ENTIRE SPORTING WORLD WHAT KIND OF GUTS HE HAS. >> HE HAD GREAT TOUCH. YOU KNOW? HE PLAYED GREAT SHOTS UNDER ADVERSE CONDITIONS. THE SHOT HE PLAYED ON NINE WAS SPECTACULAR. YES 17 IN THE 71st WHOLE. >> I MEAN, THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS THAT WANTED TO SEE THIS >> WHEN WILL IT SINK IN FOR WYNDHAM CLARK, WHAT HE HAS JUST ACHIEVED . HEAD IN HANDS. WHAT A MOMENT. >> GOOD STUFF. >> THERE IT IS BY ONE OVER
