They chip and putt better. 03:42.096 --> 03:44.974 Like, I'm not a threat when I walk into these things, really. 03:45.058 --> 03:48.061 -You want to try this? -[Dahmen] You have to be super athletic. 03:48.144 --> 03:50.855 I'm so much stronger than you.

No! 12:44.764 --> 12:47.558 [Bonnalie] The financial agreement between players and caddies 12:47.641 --> 12:49.185 is usually, on the PGA TOUR, 12:49.268 --> 12:53.022 a couple thousand dollars a week to cover your base expenses, 12:53.105 --> 12:59.069 and then anywhere from between seven and ten percent of earnings as well. 12:59.820 --> 13:05.659 Essentially, all my success is dependent on Joel's success on the golf course. 13:06.577 --> 13:07.745 I wish it wasn't that way, 13:07.828 --> 13:11.499 but it's a sport that pays you based on how you finish each week, 13:11.582 --> 13:15.377 and that's how I make my money, as a percentage of his money. 13:15.461 --> 13:19.298 No added pressure, Joel. But yeah, it's all on him. 13:19.381 --> 13:21.383 [dance music playing] 13:21.467 --> 13:22.927 [indistinct chatter] 13:29.725 --> 13:31.060 [man] Twenty-one, win by two. 13:31.143 --> 13:32.770 -[Dahmen] Win by two. -[man] All right. 13:32.853 --> 13:35.648 -I lead because I own the fucking house. -That's true. 13:35.731 --> 13:37.733 [upbeat song in Spanish plays] 13:45.783 --> 13:47.284 -Getting drunk. -[laughs] 13:47.368 --> 13:49.537 -Are you mic'd up right now? -Yeah. 13:49.620 --> 13:51.372 [laughing] 13:51.455 --> 13:52.540 Netflix, cut this. 13:53.249 --> 13:56.919 [Bonnalie] Joel is definitely different from many of the other golfers out there. 13:57.002 --> 14:01.382 Joel's capable of being top 30 in the world, I would say. 14:02.299 --> 14:05.761 That being said, I don't know if Joel wants to be top 30 in the world. 14:05.844 --> 14:08.389 I didn't mean to eat and run, but I'm kinda exhausted. 14:08.889 --> 14:10.849 Well, it's a big weekend. Oh, of course. 14:10.933 --> 14:14.186 [Homa] I would say most of my adult-beverage nights with Joel 14:14.270 --> 14:17.189 end with me yelling at Joel about how good he is at golf 14:17.273 --> 14:19.191 and trying to get him to realize it. 14:19.275 --> 14:20.401 What time you play tomorrow? 14:20.484 --> 14:22.027 So if you can't make it, 14:22.528 --> 14:24.989 I will not either, and we'll just both pack it-- 14:25.072 --> 14:27.199 -[Homa] Both get DQ'd? -No, let's fly to Vegas. 14:27.283 --> 14:29.743 [Homa] Ooh, this is turning out nice! 14:31.078 --> 14:35.124 [Dethier] People have always wondered if Joel puts himself down too much 14:35.207 --> 14:38.002 and if that could actually end up affecting his play. 14:38.502 --> 14:43.340 The next major is the U.S. Open, and Joel actually needs to qualify 14:43.424 --> 14:46.802 for this one because he's not one of the top-60 players in the world. 14:46.886 --> 14:47.720 Good! 14:47.803 --> 14:49.805 [suspenseful music playing] 14:51.432 --> 14:53.475 [man] Welcome to The Club at Admiral's Cove, 14:53.559 --> 14:56.896 the final qualifying for the 122nd United States Open Championship. 14:57.563 --> 15:01.442 [Dethier] Every year, almost 10,000 people try to qualify for the U.S. Open. 15:03.235 --> 15:06.864 One day, 36 holes, at several different sites. 15:10.409 --> 15:12.161 They call it "the longest day in golf" 15:12.244 --> 15:14.997 because it's really a survival test as much as anything. 15:20.920 --> 15:23.088 [Bonnalie] All right. Let's go make birdies. 15:23.172 --> 15:27.176 [Dethier] The guys left standing from that day go directly into the U.S. Open. 15:28.010 --> 15:30.930 [announcer] You're playing for 13 spots and two alternates. 15:31.430 --> 15:36.143 Our next player, from Clarkston, Washington, Joel Dahmen. 15:38.103 --> 15:39.063 [Bonnalie] Not bad. 15:41.690 --> 15:44.526 If you make some birdies quickly, it would be much appreciated. 15:45.027 --> 15:45.861 Oh, shut up. 15:45.944 --> 15:49.573 [Bonnalie] In this particular location, there's 13 spots up for grabs 15:49.657 --> 15:52.242 and around a hundred people vying for those spots. 15:52.743 --> 15:55.871 [Bonnalie] Stop spinning. You deserve better than that. 15:55.954 --> 15:57.373 You got robbed. 16:00.626 --> 16:03.587 One bounce great, please. One more. 16:08.467 --> 16:09.927 [Dahmen] I won't be a Hall of Famer.y 16:10.010 --> 16:12.763 When I retire with golf, no one's gonna remember who I am. 16:12.846 --> 16:16.642 I understand that. I'm fine with it. I'm not playing for legacy. 16:16.725 --> 16:19.269 Some people are like, "That's why you'll never be great, 16:19.353 --> 16:21.313 'cause you don't believe it." 16:22.564 --> 16:23.399 [Dahmen] No way. 16:28.278 --> 16:32.074 Which of the guys behind me would you have caddie for you on the last two holes? 16:32.574 --> 16:34.493 -You must feel good. -I'll just do it. 16:34.576 --> 16:36.495 This is becoming a waste of a day. 16:36.996 --> 16:38.747 Do you even wanna go to the U.S. Open? 16:38.831 --> 16:40.874 I do. Only if you do, though. 16:42.626 --> 16:44.545 [Bonnalie] I think in that moment, he was thinking 16:44.628 --> 16:46.255 we wouldn't even play the second 18. 16:46.839 --> 16:47.923 [man] You want a White Claw? 16:48.007 --> 16:51.885 Maybe multiple. That's just the mojo we need, right? 16:52.386 --> 16:55.097 [Bonnalie] Had lunch and he's like, "Might as well get a White Claw," 16:55.180 --> 16:58.600 and I don't know if that's against the rules or frowned upon or whatever, 16:58.684 --> 17:01.520 but they weren't drinking during a round, so I think it's okay. 17:01.603 --> 17:04.982 I'm gonna leave you guys. I gotta go shoot seven under, 17:05.065 --> 17:09.194 and it's starting to blow, and I don't know if I got it in me. 17:09.278 --> 17:10.571 So we'll see. 17:11.280 --> 17:13.949 [Bonnalie] We need five under par in the second round 17:14.032 --> 17:15.826 to advance into the U.S. Open. 17:19.246 --> 17:22.082 So just don't hit that tree and don't put it in the bunker. 17:22.166 --> 17:24.460 Yeah, basically. Just do good. 17:26.170 --> 17:28.922 [Bonnalie] Wow. Great swing. It's going a long ways. 17:29.006 --> 17:31.050 Wow, that went so far. 17:31.133 --> 17:34.219 You can't be bad. You got this one. 17:36.305 --> 17:38.849 That was straight ripped. 17:39.349 --> 17:40.934 -Great shot. -Thank you. 17:41.018 --> 17:42.227 That wasn't bad at all. 17:42.728 --> 17:47.691 [Bonnalie] If Joel can keep focused and trying to play good golf 17:47.775 --> 17:52.446 and just grind out this round, I truly believe we can get into the U.S. Open. 17:52.529 --> 17:54.907 The focus is to keep moving up the leaderboard, 17:54.990 --> 17:56.742 because you never know what'll happen. 17:58.911 --> 18:00.788 Nice job. Congratulations on your birdie. 18:04.082 --> 18:08.128 Don't do anything stupid on the last hole, and we're gonna play in the U.S. Open. 18:10.839 --> 18:12.758 That was the greatest tap-in in my life. 18:12.841 --> 18:15.719 [Bonnalie] Probably shouldn't have had White Claws between rounds. 18:15.803 --> 18:16.845 Wow. Okay. 18:18.055 --> 18:20.557 [Bonnalie] But you know what? It was only a couple. 18:20.641 --> 18:25.521 Went out and ended up shooting five-under in the second round and qualified. 18:25.604 --> 18:27.523 -Make sure you grab all your shit. -I will. 18:28.732 --> 18:31.276 [Dahmen] I was proud of getting a chance to play in the U.S. Open. 18:31.360 --> 18:33.278 What you dream of is playing in the majors. 18:33.779 --> 18:34.780 [Dahmen groans] 18:34.863 --> 18:35.781 [Lona] Go get him. 18:36.740 --> 18:38.117 [laughs] 18:38.200 --> 18:41.036 Come here. Oh, you don't like the camera. You big baby. 18:41.120 --> 18:41.954 [Lona laughs] Yes. 18:42.037 --> 18:43.622 This is my baby boy. 18:44.123 --> 18:45.082 [Lona] Our dog now. 18:45.999 --> 18:47.668 Eight and a half years with you. 18:48.710 --> 18:51.255 You want scrambled, right? Yeah. Is that what we decided? 18:52.005 --> 18:55.801 -Can you do a cheesy scramble? -Yeah. I have some cheddar cheese. 18:56.802 --> 18:59.596 I think a lot of people are life-and-death to golf, 18:59.680 --> 19:02.182 and we just have a different perspective on that side. 19:02.266 --> 19:04.852 Especially Joel, from everything he's been through, 19:04.935 --> 19:10.399 and he has such a good outlook on life and what actually is life-and-death. 19:12.985 --> 19:17.739 In the spring of 2011, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer myself. 19:20.200 --> 19:23.495 I'm like, "Oh my goodness, like, not me." 19:23.579 --> 19:26.915 Like, I'm 23 years old. I'm a pro golfer now. 19:26.999 --> 19:29.084 You know, "You can't touch me." 19:30.627 --> 19:33.172 Luckily, caught it very early, did a little bit of chemo, 19:33.255 --> 19:35.090 and I was back playing golf that summer. 19:36.758 --> 19:39.344 [Lona] He downplays it, you know? He's always like, 19:39.428 --> 19:41.972 "It wasn't a deal, just testicular cancer. It was short." 19:42.055 --> 19:44.850 I think he's more powerful than he gives himself credit for. 19:46.185 --> 19:49.187 [Dahmen] My mother's passing still is tough, 19:49.271 --> 19:53.525 but, um, I think myself having cancer probably changed my life for the better. 19:53.609 --> 19:56.486 You know? Not take life for granted and try your best. 19:56.570 --> 19:57.654 Do all the right things. 19:57.738 --> 20:01.200 So… maybe a blessing-in-disguise type thing. I don't know. 20:02.826 --> 20:03.660 Brutal. 20:10.083 --> 20:13.337 [Lona] CrossFit gym and a stroller place. 20:15.172 --> 20:16.965 [chuckles] Super random location. 20:17.966 --> 20:23.138 [Lona] With Joel's history with cancer and everything that he's been through, 20:23.222 --> 20:25.766 we didn't know if it would be possible to start a family, 20:25.849 --> 20:30.812 but Joel and I are expecting our first child, and we're very excited. 20:33.649 --> 20:37.527 Do you think that the baby's gonna want to take naps when I wanna take naps? 20:37.611 --> 20:38.695 Definitely not. 20:38.779 --> 20:41.823 I think you are going to have to take naps when the baby takes naps. 20:42.407 --> 20:46.662 [Dahmen] My history with cancer definitely had an effect on being able to have a kid. 20:46.745 --> 20:48.246 It's certainly more challenging. 20:49.831 --> 20:53.502 I am super excited, and I'm also scared to death. 20:53.585 --> 20:55.671 Okay, this is real adulting. 20:56.213 --> 20:58.465 [Lona] We're adulting.

You can just pull the handlebar up, 21:20.988 --> 21:23.532 and that will just… Yep… 21:23.615 --> 21:24.992 [laughs] 21:25.075 --> 21:26.326 There you go. [laughs] 21:26.410 --> 21:27.244 We'll get there. 21:27.327 --> 21:29.413 [Lona] I think now that we know we're having a child, 21:29.496 --> 21:33.458 Joel will definitely try to seize every opportunity in his golf career, 21:33.542 --> 21:35.502 work his way up, and be the best he can be. 21:35.585 --> 21:36.962 -Good job. -I like the storage. 21:37.045 --> 21:39.131 -You just picked out two strollers. -[laughs] 21:39.214 --> 21:41.133 [Lona] I do think he'll become more focused. 21:41.633 --> 21:43.885 He almost has to have a lot of pressure, 21:43.969 --> 21:46.555 and then somehow, he just kicks it into gear. 21:46.638 --> 21:49.808 -Lona, we got a new stroller. -Whoo-hoo. 21:50.642 --> 21:51.727 -Thank you. -Making moves. 21:51.810 --> 21:52.811 Appreciate that. 21:53.395 --> 21:55.397 [dramatic rock music playing] 22:09.911 --> 22:11.079 [man] DJ, you're the man. 22:11.788 --> 22:12.831 [indistinct chatter] 22:12.914 --> 22:14.249 [man 2] Whoo! 22:14.833 --> 22:15.834 Oh no. 22:16.501 --> 22:19.629 [announcer] The 122nd edition of the U.S. Open. 22:19.713 --> 22:22.841 Historic place, the country club in Brookline. 22:22.924 --> 22:25.093 -It's gonna be a lot of fun. -Oh yeah, big fun. 22:26.845 --> 22:28.221 [Johnson] U.S. Open is always-- 22:28.305 --> 22:31.141 You know, the reputation is that it's the hardest major. 22:31.224 --> 22:35.437 They set up the course very hard. Deep rough. Firm, fast greens. 22:35.520 --> 22:38.523 You're gonna have to grind. You just gotta play well if you wanna 22:38.607 --> 22:40.859 have any kind of chance to win the U.S. Open. 22:40.942 --> 22:44.988 If I was caddying for you, I'd tell you to hit a little draw with a 5-iron. 22:45.489 --> 22:47.032 Right, just a little move at it. 22:47.115 --> 22:50.452 -[man] He's a really good caddie. -[Dahmen] But that's why I don't caddie. 22:50.535 --> 22:53.330 [man 2] This is gonna be the hardest week we play all year. 22:53.413 --> 22:55.248 Whoever mentally can grind through 22:55.332 --> 22:57.709 and find a way to get the ball in the hole, 22:57.793 --> 22:59.544 that'll be who ends up winning. 23:00.629 --> 23:02.214 [Dethier] It's a big-time tournament. 23:02.297 --> 23:06.718 Seventeen-and-a-half-million-dollar purse and America's national championship. 23:06.802 --> 23:10.597 It's a grueling four days that's really designed 23:10.680 --> 23:13.975 to identify the survivor by the end of the week. 23:14.059 --> 23:17.062 [reporter] We are joined by world number seven, Collin Morikawa. 23:17.145 --> 23:20.816 I assume you've had a chance to see the course.

You need to drive it well, 23:26.321 --> 23:30.992 hit your irons well, chip well, putt well, and be mentally sane for four days. 23:31.785 --> 23:34.579 [McIlroy] I feel confident going to these golf courses 23:34.663 --> 23:37.249 that are set up more difficult than everyday tour events. 23:37.833 --> 23:39.292 [reporter] All right. Joel Dahmen. 23:39.376 --> 23:43.630 So is it true you almost skipped your qualifier coming into this? 23:43.713 --> 23:45.799 There was a lot of discussion leading up to it. 23:45.882 --> 23:47.676 I told my wife I wasn't gonna do it. 23:47.759 --> 23:49.636 [reporter] How happy are you that you did do it? 23:49.719 --> 23:53.098 Everything changes when you get on property. It's huge, people everywhere. 23:53.181 --> 23:54.975 So that changes your mind pretty quickly. 23:57.769 --> 23:59.104 You want them back here? 24:00.939 --> 24:01.773 Okay. 24:02.858 --> 24:04.025 Mm, that looks nice. 24:06.445 --> 24:08.071 That can't be too bad. 24:08.572 --> 24:12.409 I don't understand how you can hit those shots and say you can't win a major. 24:12.909 --> 24:13.869 [Dahmen laughs] 24:13.952 --> 24:16.746 No, seriously. You're selling yourself short. 24:16.830 --> 24:19.166 -[Dahmen] Oh, sadly. -[Rapaport] He's nodding. 24:19.249 --> 24:21.543 [Bonnalie] A hundred percent. Joel only sells himself short. 24:22.210 --> 24:24.921 [Rapaport] Guys handle themselves really differently on the PGA TOUR. 24:25.005 --> 24:27.132 On one end, you have Jordan Spieth, who's like, 24:27.215 --> 24:30.385 "I'm so confident.
