WEBVTT

00:09.592 --> 00:12.178
[Dahmen] I didn't know we brushed pools,
but apparently we do here.

00:13.388 --> 00:15.640
They build this awesome pool,
then they're like,

00:15.724 --> 00:20.562
"Oh, by the way, you need to be sweeping
your pool for… 15 minutes a day."

00:22.856 --> 00:25.358
I clearly don't go
to the gym often enough.

00:26.359 --> 00:29.112
So the trainer has me
on the pool workout plan.

00:29.654 --> 00:31.823
And some people
actually work out in the pool.

00:31.906 --> 00:33.950
Nope. I am just the new pool boy.

00:37.704 --> 00:39.956
I'm supposed to do that
two or three times a day.

00:42.292 --> 00:45.003
No chance. But someday,
I won't have to do that.

00:45.503 --> 00:47.505
[upbeat music playing]

00:49.215 --> 00:50.884
[producer] Uh, so what's new?

00:51.468 --> 00:54.345
Uh, life has changed
for me on the golf course.

00:55.138 --> 00:56.056
I'm more famous.

00:56.139 --> 00:57.891
[indistinct chatter]

00:58.933 --> 01:01.603
Life has changed
for Joel Dahmen in a big way.

01:01.686 --> 01:04.856
[crowd chanting] Joel!
Joel! Joel! Joel! Joel! Joel!

01:04.939 --> 01:06.858
[Renner] People are not
just going crazy for Joel.

01:06.941 --> 01:10.403
They're yelling Geno's name.
It is overnight madness.

01:10.487 --> 01:11.988
[man] Joel, you are the man!

01:12.072 --> 01:13.531
[Geno] I will sign your face.

01:13.615 --> 01:16.201
It's definitely new,
having so much attention.

01:16.284 --> 01:19.788
And I think that's all
due to the success of Full Swing.

01:19.871 --> 01:22.332
[Rapaport] Joel's had
a major come up in the last year,

01:22.415 --> 01:25.210
but that has not translated
to encore success,

01:25.293 --> 01:27.545
and his ranking
is actually going the wrong way.

01:28.046 --> 01:30.215
It's one of the downsides of fame.

01:30.298 --> 01:33.009
You can't struggle in silence
the same way that you used to.

01:33.092 --> 01:34.260
Fuck you!

01:35.678 --> 01:38.598
[Dahmen] Me being famous
and having all the popularity,

01:38.681 --> 01:41.601
and playing the worst golf
of my career, uh, it sucks.

01:42.185 --> 01:44.771
[Lona] With everything this year
and all the craziness going on,

01:44.854 --> 01:46.940
that's gonna wear anybody down.

01:47.023 --> 01:49.025
So, what's a new game plan?

01:49.109 --> 01:51.319
Because what we're doing,
it's not working.

01:51.402 --> 01:52.779
Oh… you idiot.

01:52.862 --> 01:55.281
[Dahmen]
We are as bad as it's been in a long time.

01:57.742 --> 01:58.868
Something has to change.

02:14.759 --> 02:18.555
-[baby coos]
-[Lona] I know. What?

02:18.638 --> 02:20.849
-[Dahmen] Oh my gosh!
-Oh my God! [laughs]

02:20.932 --> 02:23.059
Riggsy! What are you doing?

02:23.143 --> 02:25.019
[both laughing]

02:25.103 --> 02:26.396
-Oh my God!
-[Lona] Oh my gosh!

02:26.479 --> 02:28.940
-Why are you peeing so much?
-[Dahmen laughs]

02:29.023 --> 02:32.986
[Lona] Really?
Now you're just all… It's all over.

02:33.069 --> 02:34.779
What are we supposed to do with this?

02:34.863 --> 02:37.574
-[Dahmen] He's, like, wet.
-Oh, I know. What are you doing?

02:37.657 --> 02:39.868
-[Dahmen] How did you do this?
-Are you proud of yourself?

02:39.951 --> 02:43.621
[Dahmen] We had our first kid,
called Riggs, this past January.

02:44.122 --> 02:45.915
He's amazing.

02:45.999 --> 02:48.501
You get used to
the pee and poop rather quickly.

02:49.502 --> 02:53.173
He just kept peeing. It's amazing
how much laundry you do with a kid.

02:53.256 --> 02:56.593
He just pees everywhere.
I've even been hit in the face.

02:56.676 --> 03:00.388
It changes a lot. The responsibility
off the golf course is a lot more.

03:00.471 --> 03:03.057
I just wanna be over there
and help out as much as I can.

03:03.141 --> 03:07.645
But on the other side of that, I have
to do my job to take care of my family.

03:07.729 --> 03:10.023
This is how I support my family,
is by playing golf.

03:10.106 --> 03:13.234
Thankfully, I have an amazing wife in Lona
who does all the hard work.

03:13.318 --> 03:15.278
We have… Why do we have so many of these?

03:15.361 --> 03:17.488
-Like, every… thing…
-Gravy boats.

03:18.281 --> 03:19.490
We don't ever have gravy.

03:19.574 --> 03:21.534
"Don't play golf this week," they said.

03:21.618 --> 03:24.287
"Move into your house,"
they said. "It'll be great!"

03:24.370 --> 03:27.165
New house, new baby.
Netflix was definitely an added layer.

03:27.248 --> 03:30.501
All of a sudden, we were like,
"We have this crazy life stuff going on."

03:30.585 --> 03:35.465
And then, "You're famous overnight."
Like, "Cool. What do we do?" [laughs]

03:35.548 --> 03:38.468
That's just a pretty bottle
that I was going to use as a vase.

03:38.551 --> 03:40.053
-That's tequila.
-[Lona] It was tequila.

03:40.136 --> 03:41.888
-But it's empty.
-It's not really.

03:42.388 --> 03:43.890
[Lona] There's been times we were like,

03:43.973 --> 03:46.517
"How are we handling this?
How do you manage this?"

03:47.018 --> 03:48.853
It's amazing, but it's a lot.

03:50.146 --> 03:52.857
[Dahmen] This is how a lot
of our nights ended before kids.

03:54.984 --> 03:55.985
Happy new house.

03:58.279 --> 04:00.073
Oh my God. Like a champ!

04:00.156 --> 04:01.115
[chuckles]

04:01.199 --> 04:04.410
-Can I just… This is a terrible idea.
-[Lona laughs]

04:07.121 --> 04:09.165
[Lona] Oh! Ah.

04:10.375 --> 04:11.250
Mmm.

04:12.001 --> 04:14.212
Oh my God,
I was so much better at that than you.

04:14.712 --> 04:16.881
-That's 'cause it needs so much air.
-Cheers.

04:16.965 --> 04:19.842
[Dahmen] The balance is very difficult.
We're still working on the balance.

04:20.468 --> 04:22.887
Still play golf.
Still have Geno as my caddie.

04:22.971 --> 04:26.516
But, um… I have a lot more people
behind me now. That's for sure.

04:27.183 --> 04:28.393
[upbeat music playing]

04:28.476 --> 04:31.729
[commentator] So good to be back here,
just one mile from the Atlantic Ocean.

04:31.813 --> 04:35.275
Ponte Vedra Beach, and the home
of The Players Championship.

04:35.358 --> 04:37.277
[Finau] They call it the "fifth major."

04:37.860 --> 04:41.656
Best field in golf. So this would be
a cool one to notch on the belt.

04:42.323 --> 04:43.825
[crowd cheers]

04:44.659 --> 04:46.035
All right.

04:46.119 --> 04:48.997
[commentator 2] The greatest duo
in golf right here. Geno and Joel.

04:49.539 --> 04:55.712
I would say that I am the lowest-ranked
player with the most, uh, fans.

04:55.795 --> 04:57.296
It's a weird spot to be.

04:57.380 --> 04:58.298
[man] Joel, I love you.

04:58.381 --> 05:01.259
-[man 2] Geno, will you sign mine?
-[Geno] For real?

05:01.342 --> 05:05.430
I hate to say that I may be
one of the most popular caddies,

05:05.513 --> 05:08.599
'cause I just don't like
the way that feels to say.

05:10.018 --> 05:11.102
But it might be true?

05:11.602 --> 05:12.979
[Dahmen] You're so famous, Geno.

05:13.062 --> 05:14.439
[Geno] So famous.

05:15.440 --> 05:18.693
First on the tee, Joel Dahmen.

05:18.776 --> 05:20.778
[cheering and applause]

05:21.654 --> 05:24.657
[crowd chanting] Joel!
Joel! Joel! Joel! Joel!

05:24.741 --> 05:28.244
-Let's go, Joel! People's champion.
-[woman] You're my favorite, Joel!

05:29.579 --> 05:32.290
[Dahmen] Absolute specimen, Joel Dahmen.

05:32.373 --> 05:33.583
[laughing]

05:33.666 --> 05:34.751
I love it.

05:37.003 --> 05:40.923
If there were five babies crying,
could you pick out your kid's cry?

05:41.007 --> 05:43.134
That's a good question. I think so.

05:46.637 --> 05:48.973
How about you? I mean, are you in tune?

05:49.474 --> 05:50.308
No.

05:54.020 --> 05:55.772
Yeah. That's so bad.

05:56.272 --> 05:57.940
-[Dahmen] Go. Get up.
-[Geno] Come on, baby.

05:59.692 --> 06:01.235
-Are you having fun?
-[Dahmen] No.

06:01.319 --> 06:04.197
I can't hit an iron
anywhere close where I'm trying to,

06:04.280 --> 06:06.074
and then I fucking can't putt.

06:06.574 --> 06:09.369
Hmm. Please let us make a birdie.

06:12.830 --> 06:13.664
[crowd] Aw!

06:13.748 --> 06:16.918
[Renner] When you look at a lot
of the top players in the world,

06:17.001 --> 06:19.837
they kind of had
a slow build into this life of fame.

06:20.546 --> 06:21.923
Joel never had that.

06:22.006 --> 06:25.551
It happened overnight,
and I think it was jarring.

06:27.595 --> 06:29.639
-[Lona] Hi, Geno.
-Fuck.

06:29.722 --> 06:30.556
Fuck.

06:31.390 --> 06:34.143
-Hey, honey. How's your day?
-Hey. It was good.

06:34.227 --> 06:36.312
-We got cameras and mics, huh?
-Yeah.

06:36.395 --> 06:38.439
-[laughs]
-[Dahmen] All the access.

06:38.523 --> 06:41.943
-You want to go hit some balls?
-That would be awesome. No.

06:42.026 --> 06:44.112
-Why?
-[Lona] I was like, "Wait, really?"

06:44.195 --> 06:47.031
[laughs] I was like, "Wow. Okay."

06:47.115 --> 06:49.700
I already played.
This is more than I'm scheduled to play.

06:49.784 --> 06:52.495
-We need you to get better.
-It's not happening right now.

06:52.995 --> 06:53.830
[grunts]

06:55.540 --> 06:57.708
[Geno] Joel has had
a lot of changes in his life,

06:57.792 --> 07:01.754
and I think he may have just
put it on cruise control a little bit.

07:01.838 --> 07:04.465
-Got everything?
-I don't have anything.

07:04.549 --> 07:09.178
[Geno] For me, I envision someone
that could help him on the mental side,

07:09.262 --> 07:11.097
which is obviously very important.

07:11.597 --> 07:13.975
[producer] With golf being,
like, such a mental game,

07:14.058 --> 07:16.811
um, how do you feel
about sports psychologists?

07:18.187 --> 07:20.982
How do I feel about sports psychologists?
Uh…

07:21.524 --> 07:25.486
I am definitely resistant
to a sports psychologist.

07:26.154 --> 07:28.156
[producer]Have you spoken
to other tour players,

07:28.239 --> 07:30.700
uh, who do use sports psychologists?

07:31.200 --> 07:33.536
Yeah, I've talked to plenty of them. Um…

07:34.120 --> 07:37.373
They seem to be working for some of them.
[chuckles]

07:38.124 --> 07:40.126
[upbeat music playing]

07:48.301 --> 07:50.261
Good shot. Good shot.

07:51.012 --> 07:55.016
I'm just excited to, like, sit down
and have one of our longer conversations.

07:55.099 --> 07:55.933
[man] Yeah.

07:56.017 --> 08:00.021
My name is Wyndham Clark, and I play
professional golf on the PGA TOUR.

08:01.564 --> 08:02.648
[man 2] Attaboy. Good job.

08:03.483 --> 08:05.693
[Clark] When I first got out
on the PGA TOUR,

08:05.776 --> 08:08.863
I really thought
I was going to have tons of success.

08:09.363 --> 08:10.907
That wasn't in the cards.

08:11.866 --> 08:13.868
[commentator]
For birdie now, Wyndham Clark here.

08:14.535 --> 08:15.369
[crowd] Oh!

08:15.453 --> 08:18.122
[Clark] I was kind of one of the top guys
coming out of college,

08:18.206 --> 08:21.209
Pac-12 Player of the Year,
and, you know, my mind was like,

08:21.292 --> 08:24.545
"All right, we're just going to do
the same thing in professional golf."

08:24.629 --> 08:26.506
[commentator]
Well, this ought to be interesting.

08:26.589 --> 08:28.299
[Rapaport] Wyndham Clark
was always looked at

08:28.382 --> 08:30.134
as a guy, like he's got the tools.

08:30.218 --> 08:33.804
He's big, he hits it a long way,
he's got a soft touch around the greens.

08:33.888 --> 08:36.974
It's like, "Why is this guy
not competing with the Justin Thomases

08:37.058 --> 08:38.434
and the Jordan Spieths?"

08:38.518 --> 08:40.811
-[crowd] Oh!
-[commentator] Still not in for double.

08:40.895 --> 08:43.272
Wyndham was a bit
of an angry golfer before,

08:43.356 --> 08:45.900
and I think he would be
really, really hard on himself.

08:47.652 --> 08:49.820
I had trained my mind over years

08:49.904 --> 08:52.573
of belittling myself
and thinking negatively,

08:52.657 --> 08:55.618
locking myself in rooms
and not coming out for a long time

08:55.701 --> 09:00.164
or drinking to excess
or being mean to people.

09:00.831 --> 09:01.999
I didn't wanna play golf.

09:02.083 --> 09:03.334
Oh my God.

09:03.417 --> 09:07.672
[man] And when you get in that pattern
of negativity and "I stink, I suck,

09:07.755 --> 09:11.217
you know, I'll never make a cut again,"
all the things that I heard,

09:11.300 --> 09:12.677
it's hard to climb out of it.

09:14.345 --> 09:16.097
We had a little heart-to-heart.

09:16.180 --> 09:19.308
I was like, "Buddy, you're on the verge
of not being on the PGA TOUR

09:19.934 --> 09:22.061
or on the verge of being a star."

09:22.144 --> 09:23.896
"You have to make a change,

09:25.022 --> 09:27.275
'cause you can't keep
doing this to yourself."

09:29.235 --> 09:31.195
-[commentator] Oh, why?
-[commentator 2] A stance.

09:32.905 --> 09:34.323
Yeah, he feels the pain.

09:37.535 --> 09:39.245
[Clark] A lot of people on my team
were like,

09:39.328 --> 09:41.789
"We're pretty much
telling you to see a sports psychologist."

09:41.872 --> 09:44.125
-"Otherwise, we're done."
-Awesome.

09:44.709 --> 09:47.128
He told me,
"I've seen everybody. I've done it."

09:47.211 --> 09:49.839
"They all told me the same stuff.
I don't need a…"

09:49.922 --> 09:52.883
And I'm like, "I feel like I have
somebody different this time."

09:52.967 --> 09:56.387
I didn't know it was gonna be different,
but he had to try.

09:56.887 --> 10:01.142
[woman] How's your anxiety level
over birdie putts?

10:01.642 --> 10:04.687
[Clark] I would say it's probably
higher than par. It's like I can hit…

10:04.770 --> 10:08.357
I know that. I'm comparing it
to when we really got you great.

10:08.441 --> 10:11.068
-[Clark] It's not-- Yeah.
-It's gotten a little worse.

10:11.569 --> 10:13.988
[Clark] I started working with Julie
in December.

10:14.655 --> 10:17.074
Now I have something and someone

10:17.158 --> 10:19.660
that is able to get me
in the direction I want to be.

10:20.494 --> 10:22.455
[Julie] Make them care about you Sunday.

10:22.538 --> 10:23.706
Yeah. Yeah.

10:25.166 --> 10:28.961
[Julie] Sport psychology,
mental coaching has taken off.

10:29.462 --> 10:34.967
People are really using this line of work
way more often than five years ago.

10:35.051 --> 10:39.764
So why don't we say after this week
we really sit down and talk about

10:41.098 --> 10:42.641
how you're doing with it all?

10:44.018 --> 10:49.148
Wyndham was extremely resistant
to working with me at the beginning.

10:51.651 --> 10:55.237
He was struggling
with anger towards himself,

10:55.321 --> 11:00.409
the loss and the grief
of not having the career he wanted.

11:00.951 --> 11:03.120
I think we have to define "poor,"

11:04.372 --> 11:07.416
"really bad," "mediocre," and "great."

11:07.500 --> 11:08.542
Yeah.

11:09.960 --> 11:14.048
[Julie] I really do stress
that this is harder than golf.

11:14.632 --> 11:18.761
This is digging deep
and really looking at yourself,

11:18.844 --> 11:20.221
and it's a lot of work.

11:22.306 --> 11:26.602
But he started
to feel better about himself,

11:26.685 --> 11:30.231
and then that transferred
to him playing better golf.

11:31.482 --> 11:33.359
[commentator] Here's Wyndham Clark.

11:37.738 --> 11:39.615
-[commentator 2] And how about that?
-[applause]

11:39.699 --> 11:41.909
[commentator 2] Wow,
that went close, didn't it?

11:41.992 --> 11:44.578
[commentator 3] Been working
so hard on his mental game.

11:44.662 --> 11:47.206
[commentator] You look at him,
you say, "Where's he been?"

11:48.499 --> 11:50.709
[Clark] I was in a positive spot,
and I was saying,

11:50.793 --> 11:53.254
"We're playing good.
We actually started making putts."

11:53.337 --> 11:54.755
"I feel confident about this."

11:54.839 --> 11:56.841
And then I go to Quail Hollow and it all…

11:56.924 --> 11:59.718
All matched up.
I'm getting chills thinking about it.

12:00.219 --> 12:03.222
[commentator] This is the moment
he's been dreaming of.

12:05.141 --> 12:09.478
Finally winning, it was like,
"All right. This stuff actually works."

12:09.562 --> 12:12.773
It's been a long five years
to get to this point on tour,

12:12.857 --> 12:16.736
and in years past I might have folded,
but mentally, I was super strong.

12:16.819 --> 12:21.198
[Julie] The Wells Fargo was
so healing for him.

12:21.282 --> 12:26.871
That lifted years and years of pain,
that Wells Fargo win.

12:28.038 --> 12:30.082
In the center again
when you're done, Wyndham.

12:30.166 --> 12:33.878
[Dahmen] Wyndham broke through
at Quail Hollow, and he dominated.

12:34.378 --> 12:37.673
He's now wanting to talk
to a sports psychologist, and wa-bam!

12:38.174 --> 12:39.717
I've kind of done everything my own way.

12:39.800 --> 12:42.428
I just haven't found
that piece of the puzzle. They have.

12:42.511 --> 12:44.889
They found it quickly
and it worked out great for them.

12:45.723 --> 12:48.809
[commentator] So what we're going to do
right now is we're gonna play nine holes

12:48.893 --> 12:51.604
with some of these Tour players
and Geno Bonnalie.

12:51.687 --> 12:55.191
Welcome to the tee, Joel Isaac Dahmen.

12:55.274 --> 12:56.275
[cheering]

12:56.358 --> 12:58.194
Pleasure to have you in our presence.

12:58.277 --> 13:02.531
I need one human to come over
and have a chug-off with me on the beers.

13:02.615 --> 13:04.408
-[commentator] One, two, three, go.
-[laughs]

13:04.492 --> 13:06.494
[indistinct yelling]

13:07.536 --> 13:11.499
-Uh-oh! It's left. It's gonna spin left.
-You're way better than me.

13:11.582 --> 13:13.125
-Good job.
-You're a pro, bro.

13:13.209 --> 13:15.628
-I don't drink fast. I just drink a lot.
-[man] Yeah, right.

13:15.711 --> 13:18.506
[Dahmen] It's easy to be more distracted
this year than previous years.

13:18.589 --> 13:22.468
There are more distractions and more
you're doing than just being a golfer.

13:22.551 --> 13:24.470
Almost every week, I've done extra things.

13:24.553 --> 13:27.389
That takes your time
and takes your energy as well.

13:27.932 --> 13:29.975
Having a kid alone would be difficult.

13:30.059 --> 13:33.687
Having your fame change is difficult.

13:33.771 --> 13:35.856
So add all that together
in a three-month span,

13:35.940 --> 13:38.567
probably not shocking
that I didn't play very good golf.

13:38.651 --> 13:39.527
Oh, fuck you.

13:39.610 --> 13:41.946
[man] We're playing
for the kids right now.

13:42.029 --> 13:46.158
But there's no kids around right now,
and I hit the worst putt of the day.

13:47.159 --> 13:49.620
Am I supposed to play golf? I'm over golf.

13:50.538 --> 13:54.416
[Geno] I'm not sure… what's going on.

13:54.500 --> 13:58.712
I feel like he really
wasn't himself for the last… while.

13:58.796 --> 14:00.798
[indistinct chatter]

14:03.759 --> 14:05.094
[Dahmen] Fatherhood's awesome.

14:05.177 --> 14:08.138
It really is.
This is seven weeks together.

14:08.639 --> 14:12.685
-And it's my first night not having them.
-[man] This is it?

14:12.768 --> 14:15.104
-[man 2] Know what that means?
-I'm gonna puke in that bush.

14:15.187 --> 14:17.481
-[man 2] Tonight's gonna get weird.
-[man] Joel time!

14:18.107 --> 14:19.900
Do I need to drink more or less?

14:22.987 --> 14:24.196
I need to drink more.

14:24.738 --> 14:26.115
[woman] We still have a long night.

14:26.198 --> 14:28.909
[Geno] I probably bite my tongue
more than I should,

14:28.993 --> 14:32.663
from an aspect of a friend
rather than a caddie.

14:32.746 --> 14:36.333
It's tough to wear both of those hats,
though, when he is your boss.

14:36.417 --> 14:37.918
For this guy, who's a princess,

14:38.002 --> 14:41.380
can you just add a little cranberry juice
and a little gin to that?

14:41.463 --> 14:43.257
-That's a true statement.
-[woman] How's this?

14:43.340 --> 14:45.759
-One… two.
-That's good for me.

14:46.385 --> 14:48.887
[Geno] There's just
so many more eyes on him.

14:48.971 --> 14:53.017
And I don't know if it's attention
that he necessarily was ready for

14:53.100 --> 14:54.268
and/or wanted.

14:55.769 --> 15:00.149
I feel like there's something going on
upstairs that even I don't know about.

15:04.320 --> 15:05.696
[Dahmen sighs]

15:05.779 --> 15:07.781
You're getting bigger now. Ready?

15:08.365 --> 15:11.243
One… two… three!

15:11.327 --> 15:13.329
-[imitates rocket]
-[Lona laughs]

15:13.412 --> 15:15.331
[Dahmen] Whoa! Where'd you go?

15:15.414 --> 15:17.166
[Lona] Joel as a dad is amazing.

15:17.249 --> 15:20.210
He wants to be
such an active part in Riggs's life.

15:20.294 --> 15:23.339
Like, maybe the golf was set
a little on the back burner.

15:23.422 --> 15:26.342
♪ This is the way that cowgirls ride
Cowgirls ride… ♪

15:26.425 --> 15:28.636
[Lona] This one person
is taking care of everybody.

15:28.719 --> 15:29.678
That's pressure.

15:29.762 --> 15:30.971
♪ All through the town… ♪

15:31.055 --> 15:35.225
[Lona] There were moments I was like,
"Okay, I don't think you're doing well."

15:35.726 --> 15:39.104
"You're missing the cut,
you're drinking, um,

15:39.605 --> 15:40.689
in excess."

15:40.773 --> 15:43.025
"Is this normal?
Is this how you want to feel?"

15:43.108 --> 15:46.904
"Is this how… Is this going to help you
or hinder your performance even more?"

15:46.987 --> 15:50.199
"You're off, and now you're dragging
everybody down with you."

15:51.200 --> 15:54.745
That sounds harsh, but I'm not afraid
to say something to my husband,

15:54.828 --> 15:57.247
because it's our family.

15:57.331 --> 15:59.833
Muah! Whoa, buddy!

15:59.917 --> 16:01.835
-[Lona] Whoa!
-Ah! Did you get my ear?

16:02.419 --> 16:04.088
[Lona] I think Geno and I are both like,

16:04.171 --> 16:07.591
"With everything that happened
this year and all the craziness going on,

16:07.675 --> 16:09.551
let it out. Talk to somebody."

16:11.845 --> 16:12.888
Ah!

16:13.973 --> 16:16.433
[Lona] I think there can be
some apprehension there, for sure.

16:16.517 --> 16:20.187
Like, you see a therapist
in the past because of trauma,

16:20.270 --> 16:22.439
and so you're automatically
gonna connect it to that.

16:22.523 --> 16:24.358
[Dahmen] That could all be yours.

16:25.109 --> 16:25.984
Oh baby…

16:26.068 --> 16:30.489
[Dahmen] I saw a grief counselor when I
was in high school after my mom passed,

16:30.572 --> 16:34.910
and I just… I can still picture this guy.
Like, he was… I didn't…

16:34.993 --> 16:35.828
He was awful.

16:35.911 --> 16:38.539
He was trying to tell me
what I was feeling

16:38.622 --> 16:41.500
and what should be happening, and
I'm like, "That's not what's happening."

16:43.502 --> 16:47.131
So I would say that if,
overall, if my first time

16:47.214 --> 16:50.175
going through something difficult
with a therapist

16:50.676 --> 16:53.387
would've been better
and such a positive experience

16:53.470 --> 16:56.598
and done all this great stuff,
then yeah, I would be more open to it.

16:57.766 --> 17:00.102
When you're not playing well,
you let yourself down.

17:00.185 --> 17:02.062
I'm letting Geno down, my family down.

17:02.146 --> 17:06.066
I have to try to figure out ways
to get through it on the other side.

17:11.196 --> 17:15.242
[commentator] Major championship golf
has returned to western New York.

17:15.325 --> 17:16.285
It's cold.

17:16.785 --> 17:20.539
[commentator] The 2023 PGA Championship.

17:23.333 --> 17:24.334
[Dahmen] Check out this.

17:24.918 --> 17:28.297
I don't know if you or Wyndham got this,
but this is from a fan.

17:28.380 --> 17:31.008
-"I am worthy."
-"I am worthy. You can do it."

17:31.508 --> 17:35.304
"The universe chose you to play golf.
It is your destiny to do so."

17:35.387 --> 17:38.307
"By golfing, you inspire
thousands of people around the world."

17:38.432 --> 17:41.435
"If you're ever feeling sad or down,
just remember that you're worth it,

17:41.518 --> 17:43.645
and there are people
that support and love you."

17:44.146 --> 17:45.606
"Instead of thinking bad things,

17:45.689 --> 17:47.983
think happy thoughts,
like puppies and kittens."

17:48.484 --> 17:51.737
"Anyways, hope the rest of your life
is full of joy and success."

17:51.820 --> 17:54.364
[Ellis] She didn't see you practice
this week, did she?

17:54.448 --> 17:55.949
[laughing]

17:56.033 --> 17:57.993
[somber music playing]

17:58.077 --> 17:59.995
[thunder rumbles]

18:00.079 --> 18:04.124
[commentator] …as the third round is going
to be a wet one today here in Rochester.

18:04.750 --> 18:07.461
[commentator 2]
It is absolutely pouring down now.

18:09.797 --> 18:10.964
-Left!
-[man] Fore!

18:11.048 --> 18:13.801
[Geno] This year in particular,
and I don't know what it was,

18:13.884 --> 18:18.680
but just something in him
just didn't feel like he'd give a shit.

18:19.264 --> 18:22.392
That's tough, when it's
just negative all the time.

18:22.976 --> 18:23.852
Almost dreadful.

18:27.773 --> 18:28.732
Fuck you!

18:30.651 --> 18:34.071
[Dahmen] I was always in a pretty good
mental headspace playing golf,

18:34.154 --> 18:36.532
and this year, it just kind of got
very blurred for me.

18:36.615 --> 18:39.493
-I was just going through the motions.
-[Geno] Something's wrong.

18:40.327 --> 18:43.789
[Dahmen] A lot of times, you feel alone
when going through these tough times.

18:43.872 --> 18:45.582
It just slowly happens.

18:45.666 --> 18:49.002
And then, before you know it, you feel
like you're drowning a little bit.

18:51.588 --> 18:53.257
I don't think
you got paid enough for today.

18:53.340 --> 18:54.174
[laughs]

18:54.258 --> 18:57.261
Technically, you lost, like,
thousands of dollars by doing this.

18:57.344 --> 19:00.305
-We. We.
-[Dahmen] I don't worry about me, Geno.

19:00.389 --> 19:02.349
-I just worry about you.
-I appreciate that.

19:02.432 --> 19:04.226
Oh my God, that's a heavy bag.

19:05.561 --> 19:06.895
-All right.
-Are you retiring?

19:06.979 --> 19:10.107
I might…
I might put in my one-day's notice.

19:10.858 --> 19:13.694
When I quit someday,
do you need a two-week notice?

19:14.486 --> 19:17.197
-[Dahmen] No, just a day.
-[Geno chuckles] Okay.

19:18.031 --> 19:19.783
[Dahmen] Have a day to go to Vegas.

19:21.368 --> 19:23.996
I don't have much,
except I'm just a golfer

19:24.079 --> 19:26.540
who got his ass kicked in shitty weather.

19:36.675 --> 19:40.762
[Julie] When did we actually,
really do our last serious talk?

19:41.263 --> 19:44.933
I feel like we haven't talked about
life stuff in a long time, actually.

19:45.017 --> 19:46.852
-[Julie] We haven't.
-I've talked a lot of golf.

19:46.935 --> 19:51.398
[Clark] I played poorly at the PGA,
and I missed the cut.

19:52.691 --> 19:55.569
Coming off of a win,
first-time win and that high,

19:55.652 --> 19:57.404
I was obviously very pissed.

19:57.487 --> 20:01.491
It seems like when I'm mentally
not as strong, the putts don't fall.

20:01.575 --> 20:03.160
That's kind of a weird correlation.

20:03.243 --> 20:08.540
Well, we've totally learned that
if you keep working on the mental goals,

20:08.624 --> 20:10.250
there's nothing stopping you.

20:10.334 --> 20:12.127
So it's okay to go there.

20:12.211 --> 20:17.799
[Julie] If he's on this spiral of being,
like, really shitty towards himself,

20:17.883 --> 20:22.179
then we're not going to really get
his best self out of him.

20:22.679 --> 20:28.143
When your mind goes
a little bit to worry or concern,

20:28.226 --> 20:32.856
just circle right back
that good things are happening.

20:33.482 --> 20:38.195
Julie being a female was a big part
of why I thought she could be

20:38.278 --> 20:40.405
a motherly figure in his life.

20:41.240 --> 20:45.786
He doesn't have anybody really to lean on
for some of those motherly things.

20:48.664 --> 20:51.083
[Clark] My mom was always
the nurturing one

20:51.166 --> 20:53.293
that was always there to pick me up

20:53.377 --> 20:57.005
in more of a positive way
and always made me feel better.

20:58.674 --> 21:02.302
And she cared so much
about what we were gonna do in our life.

21:03.679 --> 21:06.014
When she did pass, I kind of lost that,

21:06.682 --> 21:11.395
and so, for a while, I didn't have anyone
to ever talk about anything outside of,

21:12.062 --> 21:15.190
you know, golf and sports and the weather

21:15.274 --> 21:17.567
or whatever BS people, you know,

21:17.651 --> 21:20.153
talk about that doesn't really have
any meaning in life.

21:20.237 --> 21:22.197
[gentle music playing]

21:22.281 --> 21:23.282
Sorry.

21:27.119 --> 21:28.203
[exhales]

21:32.958 --> 21:37.004
A lot of things fell out beneath me,
and my college life changed a lot.

21:38.380 --> 21:39.256
I was numb.

21:39.339 --> 21:41.341
Um, just completely numb.

21:41.842 --> 21:43.885
Anger that she wasn't there.

21:44.970 --> 21:48.140
And that's when some people
that were close to my mom

21:48.223 --> 21:50.434
and close to me reached out,

21:51.435 --> 21:54.855
and then they said, "Hey, I also think
you need to see a therapist."

21:57.107 --> 22:00.360
[man] I'll be taking you through
a selection of invigorating beginner moves

22:00.444 --> 22:03.113
that will unleash the energy
from your chakras.

22:03.196 --> 22:06.283
[Clark] As far as therapy goes,
there's been a lot of help.

22:06.366 --> 22:09.703
And that part, I think,
got me into, uh, a point in my life

22:09.786 --> 22:11.121
where I could move on

22:11.204 --> 22:16.084
and where I really felt like I was myself
for the first time since my mom passed.

22:16.168 --> 22:18.795
[man] Big breath in through your nostrils.

22:18.879 --> 22:20.422
[Clark inhales]

22:20.505 --> 22:23.675
[Clark] When she was on her deathbed,

22:23.759 --> 22:26.219
she goes, "Wyndham, you are very special,

22:26.303 --> 22:28.972
and you are going to do
great things in golf."

22:29.598 --> 22:33.935
And she goes, "I want you to play big."
And that was her theme and mantra.

22:34.436 --> 22:38.899
You know, that's really become kind of
my mantra and thing that I live by.

22:38.982 --> 22:41.568
[man] That's perfect.
Hold it for a few seconds.

22:42.069 --> 22:44.905
[Clark] Now, I think,
is even more intensive therapy

22:44.988 --> 22:48.658
that is really helping me,
both on and off the golf course,

22:48.742 --> 22:52.954
and so I felt like I've changed
in that direction where it's like

22:53.038 --> 22:55.040
I think better things are going to happen.

22:55.123 --> 22:57.918
Now I'm just in such a better place

22:58.001 --> 23:00.921
um, you know,
mentally, emotionally, and physically.

23:08.428 --> 23:11.640
[Dahmen] Basically, Lona pushed me out.
She was like, "You have to go practice."

23:11.723 --> 23:15.477
"I have him. Figure it out.
I have the kid. I'm gonna go do it."

23:15.560 --> 23:17.979
"You're gonna go,
and you're gonna be better at golf."

23:18.063 --> 23:20.440
"And then you're
a better husband and a better dad."

23:20.524 --> 23:23.610
"Better at all this stuff."
I gotta be better at a lot of things.

23:23.693 --> 23:25.612
But if I don't play good golf,
I can't provide.

23:25.695 --> 23:28.532
We don't have the house anymore.
We don't have anything anymore.

23:30.992 --> 23:34.246
I feel like I came in
on a good conversation there. I'm sorry.

23:34.329 --> 23:36.748
This is getting way too deep,
but it's fine.

23:36.832 --> 23:42.879
-[man] No, it's not. I want to hear this.
-So… the guy I talked to…

23:42.963 --> 23:44.423
Can I go into it just for a second?

23:44.506 --> 23:46.550
He just…
I think you'll find this interesting.

23:46.633 --> 23:47.717
I'm only saying it for that.

23:47.801 --> 23:50.554
-Just say the guy and the thing.
-So this guy I chatted with.

23:50.637 --> 23:55.809
He's like, "When Joel's playing good golf,
what does it look like?"

23:56.601 --> 23:58.895
And I was like, "If he hits a bad one,

23:59.729 --> 24:03.984
he tells me why it was bad,
what he was trying to do,

24:04.067 --> 24:08.029
and what he needs to do differently
to fix it on the next one."

24:08.113 --> 24:11.116
And I was like,
"I haven't seen that in… two years."

24:11.741 --> 24:14.327
Well, you haven't seen it in four months.

24:14.411 --> 24:16.872
Well… that, like, self-talk.

24:16.955 --> 24:20.667
Coming up with your own solutions
rather than just drop the club

24:20.750 --> 24:22.711
and be like, "My life is over."

24:22.794 --> 24:27.674
[Geno] I definitely thought about
giving him an ultimatum.

24:28.175 --> 24:30.677
If he doesn't see someone,

24:30.760 --> 24:34.222
then what's the point
of me being here anymore?

24:34.848 --> 24:38.560
Why would we keep showing up
to events and not trying?

24:43.899 --> 24:47.777
[man] How can I perform better in my life?
How can I perform better in my game?

24:47.861 --> 24:50.614
And so the question is,
what is the mark you leave behind?

24:51.198 --> 24:54.284
How do other people, when you leave,
when they're around you,

24:54.367 --> 24:55.827
how do they experience you?

24:55.911 --> 24:57.787
What mark do you leave on them?

24:57.871 --> 25:01.374
Is it positive? Is it negative?
What would I do differently?

25:02.959 --> 25:07.547
That is who I wanted… Joel to talk to.

25:08.590 --> 25:11.843
Um, I've chatted with him,
and I think he'd be really good.

25:12.344 --> 25:15.555
Works with a lot of athletes.
No golfers, specifically,

25:15.639 --> 25:18.683
but a lot of high-performance athletes.

25:18.767 --> 25:21.686
Has he dealt with
high-performance athletes who…

25:23.271 --> 25:25.649
attitudes towards their sport
have gone south?

25:25.732 --> 25:27.734
[Geno] That's exactly what he deals with.

25:28.610 --> 25:29.736
We shall see.

25:35.283 --> 25:37.494
[Geno] So, heading into the U.S. Open,

25:37.577 --> 25:40.705
it's, uh… it's been a little bit
of a struggle as of late.

25:42.332 --> 25:43.917
Hoping things are gonna improve.

25:44.709 --> 25:48.171
But as a friend,
I'm not just gonna up and leave him.

25:48.797 --> 25:53.176
But at the same time, it is my job,
and I need to make money. [chuckles]

25:53.260 --> 25:55.845
So there's also that dynamic to it.

25:56.388 --> 25:58.473
My folding skills aren't very good.

26:00.642 --> 26:04.062
I think exploring
and finding somebody that you click with,

26:04.145 --> 26:05.981
who's an expert in their field,

26:06.856 --> 26:08.567
could very much benefit Joel.

26:10.068 --> 26:12.904
-Sorry if I got weird there in the middle.
-[producer] No, it's good.

26:12.988 --> 26:14.322
Your answers are great, Geno.

26:14.406 --> 26:17.576
[Holly] He has a lot of baggage to unpack
too, and you haven't touched on that.

26:17.659 --> 26:19.202
-Well, I don't…
-[producer] What is it?

26:19.286 --> 26:21.705
Holly's like, "He's got
a lot of baggage to unpack."

26:21.788 --> 26:24.791
[Holly] I'm like… yeah. Sorry, I'm not
trying to interject myself into this.

26:24.874 --> 26:26.751
Pop in here, Holl. [chuckles]

26:26.835 --> 26:27.961
Wanna come sit on the couch?

26:28.044 --> 26:29.671
[holly] You haven't hit on that key point,

26:29.754 --> 26:32.591
Joel has all this loss and trauma
that have shaped his life,

26:32.674 --> 26:35.427
and how much does that
actually affect a person going forward

26:35.510 --> 26:37.262
if they haven't dealt with that shit?

26:37.345 --> 26:41.224
He's scared to open up to somebody.
You gotta get through all that.

26:42.058 --> 26:43.852
I mean, does anybody disagree with me?

26:43.935 --> 26:47.522
[chuckles] I mean, no. I don't think
anybody here disagrees with you.

26:47.606 --> 26:51.985
I think it's that fear of… It's scary
to open yourself up to something,

26:52.068 --> 26:56.323
but sometimes that can make the difference
between good and great, you know?

26:56.823 --> 26:59.159
[uplifting music playing]

27:05.081 --> 27:07.250
[commentator]
For the first time in 75 years,

27:07.334 --> 27:10.503
the United States Open
has returned to Los Angeles.

27:15.634 --> 27:18.553
-[man] Riggs! Hey!
-[man 2] Is this Riggs?

27:18.637 --> 27:19.971
[man 3] PGA TOUR has day care?

27:20.055 --> 27:21.306
-Yeah.
-[man 3] That's nice.

27:21.389 --> 27:24.142
-It's the greatest part.
-[man 3] You think LIV will have daycare?

27:24.225 --> 27:26.102
No. You guys are like a huge podcast,

27:26.186 --> 27:29.689
and you just hold these big,
heavy things right by your face.

27:29.773 --> 27:31.858
What'd you finish
in the Open last year? Tenth?

27:31.941 --> 27:32.901
[Dahmen] T10.

27:32.984 --> 27:35.236
[man 3] What do you think?
This year, can you do it?

27:35.320 --> 27:37.447
I think for me,
the hardest thing for me is

27:37.947 --> 27:41.826
my practicing at home is… lacking
at times. Especially since I've had a kid,

27:41.910 --> 27:44.704
I've just been home a ton
and haven't practiced. That's all on me.

27:44.788 --> 27:46.081
Joel Dahmen. Thank you.

27:46.164 --> 27:48.041
-[Dahmen] Thank you, guys.
-[man] Cheers.

27:50.794 --> 27:52.796
-[Clark] Mark, so good.
-[man] The hummus is amazing.

27:52.879 --> 27:54.005
This is incredible.

27:55.340 --> 27:58.760
-The guy just outdoes himself every night.
-I mean, goodness gracious.

27:59.260 --> 28:01.012
Are we at a Michelin star restaurant?

28:01.096 --> 28:04.557
[Ellis] Hope we don't play well this week,
'cause you'd be coming everywhere we go.

28:04.641 --> 28:05.975
[man chuckles] Yeah, I know.

28:06.601 --> 28:09.354
Should we talk about, um,
putting with your eyes closed?

28:09.437 --> 28:11.523
'Cause I feel like I do that every time.

28:11.606 --> 28:13.358
Yeah. Well, that's…

28:14.275 --> 28:19.239
It is crazy, actually, when… when
Julie has me putt with my eyes closed.

28:19.322 --> 28:22.075
But when I do it,
I get the ball in the hole every time.

28:22.158 --> 28:23.660
We had a talk yesterday,

28:23.743 --> 28:26.913
and then that talk
even just made me feel more relaxed today.

28:26.996 --> 28:29.165
You're gonna talk
to her again before tomorrow?

28:29.249 --> 28:31.209
[Clark] Yeah, I mean,
we always do. Every day.

28:31.292 --> 28:33.670
I'm probably going to focus a lot on my…

28:34.963 --> 28:37.173
like, the opposite of anger,

28:37.257 --> 28:42.095
and then, you know,
I would say still have that cockiness.

28:42.178 --> 28:46.099
And then probably, like,
focus on just being grateful

28:46.182 --> 28:48.685
and having gratitude
while I'm out there.

28:48.768 --> 28:51.563
So… I think that's when I play
my best golf.

28:52.731 --> 28:55.024
-This is amazing, Mark.
-[Ellis] This is so good.

28:55.108 --> 28:56.484
[suspenseful music playing]

28:56.568 --> 28:59.779
[commentator]
The 123rd U.S. Open Championship.

28:59.863 --> 29:04.284
So many things to cover as we make our way
through this second round.

29:05.952 --> 29:10.248
[Dahmen] Coming off of last year's success
at the U.S. Open, there's some hope.

29:10.331 --> 29:12.709
[announcer] From Clarkston, Washington,
Joel Dahmen.

29:13.626 --> 29:16.546
[Dahmen] Teeing up at a major,
you're always gonna be excited about it.

29:17.755 --> 29:19.424
-[man] Nice.
-[man 2] Good swing, Joel.

29:19.507 --> 29:21.509
[suspenseful music continues]

29:24.387 --> 29:27.765
[Dahmen] I think I got a bit comfortable
that I could just show up and do it.

29:27.849 --> 29:28.933
Oh my gosh.

29:29.559 --> 29:30.810
That is not the case.

29:31.644 --> 29:33.146
Joel, you fucking idiot.

29:33.646 --> 29:34.481
Fuck.

29:35.273 --> 29:36.983
[commentator] That's going way right.

29:37.775 --> 29:40.278
[commentator 2] Wyndham Clark.
What a day yesterday

29:40.361 --> 29:41.988
and pretty good start today.

29:42.822 --> 29:45.450
[Clark] Going into a U.S. Open, I'm like,

29:45.533 --> 29:49.162
"Let's just try to go play
good golf and see what happens."

29:49.245 --> 29:51.206
-[commentator] Oh, this is amazing.
-[applause]

29:51.289 --> 29:53.249
-Oh my goodness.
-[commentator 2] Oh, wow.

29:54.083 --> 29:57.962
[Clark] Anytime I think about results,
I typically don't get the result I want.

29:58.046 --> 30:03.009
And when I stay in my process and do
the things that I can do well, I succeed.

30:06.971 --> 30:08.264
Why did it go over there?

30:09.057 --> 30:10.183
[groans]

30:11.059 --> 30:13.645
I felt like I was just gonna
wake up and come out of this.

30:13.728 --> 30:16.356
When you keep thinking that,
and then it doesn't happen,

30:16.439 --> 30:18.274
it's like, "Oh, we're doing this again?"

30:18.358 --> 30:20.026
How far you want it, Joelie?

30:20.652 --> 30:21.528
[Dahmen] I don't know.

30:22.570 --> 30:25.615
It's really miserable when
you're missing cuts and not having fun.

30:25.698 --> 30:26.533
Fuck you.

30:27.116 --> 30:29.410
It'd been a while
since we had laughed and joked

30:29.494 --> 30:31.913
and had a grand old time
out there like… like old times.

30:35.750 --> 30:38.002
Oh, have a day, buddy. Have a day.

30:46.219 --> 30:47.178
I'm sorry, Joel.

30:48.179 --> 30:51.516
[commentator] Wyndham Clark has hit
every fairway and every green.

30:53.351 --> 30:56.312
-Come on. Are you kidding me?
-[cheering and applause]

30:56.396 --> 30:57.772
How in the world?

30:58.690 --> 31:00.567
[commentator 2] Back on top by himself.

31:01.734 --> 31:03.778
[commentator 3]
He said his mental game is better.

31:03.861 --> 31:06.614
He's treating himself better
on the golf course,

31:06.698 --> 31:08.074
not beating himself up.

31:09.200 --> 31:11.202
[commentator] Terrific first two days.

31:11.286 --> 31:13.162
9-under-par.

31:14.414 --> 31:19.127
Gonna be Rickie Fowler playing alongside
Wyndham Clark in the final pairing.

31:19.836 --> 31:22.630
[man] Joel, please one.
Please one. Please one.

31:22.714 --> 31:25.091
Thank you so much.
I waited so long for you to sign.

31:25.174 --> 31:27.760
Thank you very, very much. Oh my God.

31:27.844 --> 31:30.555
You are my hero after seeing Full Swing.
I swear to god.

31:30.638 --> 31:32.307
-Cheers, bud.
-Can I get a fist bump?

31:32.390 --> 31:36.019
I know it wasn't the run you hoped for,
but look forward to seeing you next time.

31:36.102 --> 31:37.812
-Have fun today, guys.
-You too, man.

31:38.313 --> 31:39.147
[man 2] Cheers.

31:41.899 --> 31:44.652
[Dahmen] My 2023 season has been… awful.

31:45.486 --> 31:48.031
I don't know if there's
any other way to put it, really.

31:48.823 --> 31:51.659
The U.S. Open,
I think that was the lowest point.

31:53.077 --> 31:54.495
Something has to change.

31:57.832 --> 31:59.667
[dramatic music playing]

31:59.751 --> 32:01.753
[applause]

32:05.298 --> 32:08.009
[commentator] Championship Sunday
as we await the final two pairings

32:08.092 --> 32:12.180
to see who will steal
this Hollywood show at the U.S. Open.

32:12.680 --> 32:14.766
[indistinct chatter]

32:17.060 --> 32:20.271
[commentator] In the second-to-last group,
we've got Rory just one back,

32:21.731 --> 32:23.983
trying to break that major drought.

32:24.776 --> 32:29.322
And in that final group,
it is Rickie Fowler and Wyndham Clark.

32:29.405 --> 32:31.074
-[man] Ricky!
-[man 2] Go, Rick!

32:31.157 --> 32:35.536
-[man 3] Come on, Ricky!
-[man 4] Ricky! Ricky!

32:35.620 --> 32:37.789
[Clark] I probably had
the least amount of fan support,

32:37.872 --> 32:40.875
so it kind of gave me
a little chip on my shoulder.

32:41.626 --> 32:45.505
I wanted to prove them wrong and show them
I'm the guy they should be rooting for.

32:46.673 --> 32:49.300
[commentator]
What is running through his mind here?

32:49.384 --> 32:52.512
[commentator 2] Well, probably listening
to the voice of his late mom.

32:54.430 --> 32:58.393
The message to play big.
Play for something bigger than yourself.

32:58.476 --> 33:00.853
-[men] Ricky!
-[man] Ricky!

33:01.521 --> 33:04.190
Wyndham Clark was a complete underdog.

33:04.273 --> 33:07.944
Everyone was pulling for
Rickie Fowler or Rory McIlroy.

33:08.027 --> 33:11.906
And I think he was almost
feeding off of that underdog mentality.

33:13.032 --> 33:15.159
[commentator] Oh my. Wow.

33:15.243 --> 33:16.703
[applause]

33:16.786 --> 33:17.954
[woman] Whoo!

33:18.037 --> 33:18.871
[Ellis] Good shot.

33:20.623 --> 33:24.085
[commentator] Clark, after the best shot
of the day, second birdie of the day.

33:24.168 --> 33:27.255
-That went in with some authority.
-[cheering and whistling]

33:29.924 --> 33:31.926
[man] You got it, baby!

33:33.136 --> 33:34.137
[commentator] To eight.

33:35.346 --> 33:37.056
[commentator 2]
Wyndham Clark's second here.

33:39.350 --> 33:41.978
He's tucked this one.
This has got to carry.

33:42.061 --> 33:42.895
[man] Yeah.

33:43.479 --> 33:45.064
[crowd groans] Aw!

33:45.648 --> 33:47.942
[commentator] Ooh.
Nope, that's in the barranca.

33:48.025 --> 33:50.278
That looks like
some high grass right there.

33:52.030 --> 33:53.698
[commentator 2] Plan to air long here.

33:53.781 --> 33:56.159
[commentator] It looks like the shaft
could hit all that grass

33:56.242 --> 33:57.994
and stop the club head.

33:59.203 --> 34:00.872
[crowd] Oh.

34:00.955 --> 34:04.083
[commentator] Oh my goodness.
Right under it, Zing.

34:04.167 --> 34:06.210
[indistinct chatter]

34:06.294 --> 34:09.547
-Aw, now he's in a worse situation.
-[man] Come on, Rick!

34:10.465 --> 34:11.299
Fuck.

34:12.508 --> 34:15.887
[Dethier] The U.S. Open is golf's
toughest test to begin with,

34:15.970 --> 34:18.097
and Wyndham Clark hasn't been there.

34:20.099 --> 34:22.685
[crowd chattering indistinctly]

34:22.769 --> 34:26.564
[commentator] Wow. That thing flew
all the way over the back of the green,

34:27.398 --> 34:31.736
and now he is in deep trouble
just trying to save bogey.

34:32.904 --> 34:34.781
[Dethier] For a guy who has a history

34:34.864 --> 34:38.284
of struggling to control his emotions,
you start to wonder,

34:38.367 --> 34:42.455
"Okay. Is this the moment of implosion
everyone has kind of been waiting for?"

34:42.538 --> 34:44.540
[tense music playing]

34:45.166 --> 34:47.585
[Clark] You have
defining moments in tournaments.

34:48.252 --> 34:50.880
Your mind kicks in.
You go, "Okay. Last time,

34:51.380 --> 34:53.216
I got negative after this happened."

34:56.427 --> 35:00.098
And your training kicks in.
You go, "This time, I'm not gonna do it."

35:00.723 --> 35:03.684
-[commentator] That's nice.
-[applause]

35:08.106 --> 35:10.858
-[commentator] And a grade A up and down.
-[cheering and applause]

35:10.942 --> 35:13.528
[commentator 2] He was oftentimes
his own worst enemy.

35:13.611 --> 35:16.614
He started working
with Julie at the start of the year.

35:16.697 --> 35:18.407
It's really made a huge difference.

35:18.908 --> 35:21.661
[Julie] We have prepared
for this moment mentally.

35:22.662 --> 35:26.207
He's embracing all the work he's done.

35:26.749 --> 35:29.252
[commentator] He can't get this
within ten feet going to the left,

35:29.335 --> 35:30.253
I don't think.

35:30.753 --> 35:32.839
[Julie] Before my eyes,

35:32.922 --> 35:37.510
I saw him transform
to someone who truly believed,

35:38.094 --> 35:44.308
and what he held in his mind
was manifesting right in front of him.

35:44.392 --> 35:46.310
[commentator]
It's grabbing a little bit of slope.

35:46.394 --> 35:49.772
[commentator 2] But it's not gonna get
all the way down there. An excellent shot.

35:49.856 --> 35:52.275
[commentator] It's getting better
by the second. It's, uh…

35:52.358 --> 35:54.610
In the end,
if he gets out of here with a three…

35:54.694 --> 35:58.489
[commentator 2] It's 6 or 8 feet closer
than I thought it was gonna get.

35:58.573 --> 36:02.535
[commentator] Clark is suddenly getting
a grand tour of the North Course.

36:02.618 --> 36:05.746
What he was able to pull off
at the eighth, saving bogey there,

36:06.247 --> 36:08.165
maybe he can save par here.

36:10.126 --> 36:11.294
[cheering and applause]

36:11.377 --> 36:14.547
[commentator] That was some saving.
You can see what it meant to Clark.

36:14.630 --> 36:17.842
Because he just won
at Wells Fargo about a month ago,

36:17.925 --> 36:21.053
I think that gave him so much confidence
that he's capable of playing

36:21.137 --> 36:22.889
with the best players in the world.

36:23.639 --> 36:28.728
[commentator 2] He wants to play cocky,
and that's some kind of cocky, this shot.

36:28.811 --> 36:29.812
Wow.

36:32.398 --> 36:33.691
[commentator] Over at 18.

36:34.358 --> 36:36.819
This is McIlroy for tie for the lead.

36:36.903 --> 36:39.363
-[man] Get in the hole!
-[fans shouting, cheering]

36:43.576 --> 36:45.578
[light applause]

36:48.873 --> 36:52.460
[commentator] Leader in the clubhouse,
McIlroy with a final round 70.

36:54.212 --> 36:58.007
3,295 days since that last major.

36:58.716 --> 37:01.677
He's wondering if he's going
to have to wait a little longer.

37:06.766 --> 37:12.021
It's all up to Wyndham Clark.
At 18 with a one-shot lead.

37:14.273 --> 37:15.733
[Ellis] This is still the right club.

37:15.816 --> 37:18.110
I want you to make
a full, aggressive swing here.

37:18.194 --> 37:20.363
Right at that palm tree
in the background, okay?

37:21.113 --> 37:23.699
[commentator] He's got
one last full-iron shot to go.

37:23.783 --> 37:27.245
[commentator 2] He pars this last hole,
and he's a U.S. Open Champion.

37:33.376 --> 37:35.378
[applause]

37:36.128 --> 37:40.299
[commentator] Two putts from there,
and Clark will close the deal.

37:43.678 --> 37:47.765
[Clark] All the way until this year,
I've always felt and feared

37:47.848 --> 37:51.769
the bad things that are gonna happen
more than believing the good things are.

37:52.270 --> 37:56.232
But now I truly have a belief
that good things are gonna happen.

37:57.733 --> 38:01.654

-In two weeks.
-[Geno] That's what you mean. "Home" home.

would be a little rockier than this.

41:21.187 --> 41:22.229
Talk to me, Joel.

41:22.980 --> 41:26.066
Lona and I had
a great conversation at the U.S. Open.

41:26.942 --> 41:29.653
And we chatted and it was like,
"Hey, this isn't working."

41:30.237 --> 41:33.616
"You're a great dad, great husband.
This is all fun, but it ain't working."

41:33.699 --> 41:36.118
And I've known it's not working.

41:36.202 --> 41:39.914
Like, I know it felt different,
but you tread so carefully, and I'm like,

41:39.997 --> 41:43.042
"If you were just a little tougher on me,
it'd work way better."

41:43.125 --> 41:44.043
[Geno] Really?

41:44.126 --> 41:46.337
-Seriously.
-Okay, then I'm gonna tell you this.

41:46.420 --> 41:49.632
If you don't talk to this guy
in the next little bit…

41:50.925 --> 41:51.759
[Dahmen chuckles]

41:51.842 --> 41:53.677
-What are you gonna do? Leave me?
-Yeah.

41:53.761 --> 41:56.096
-[Dahmen] Okay. Do you have a job?
-I don't know.

41:56.180 --> 41:57.932
I'm trying to find you a job on LIV.

41:58.015 --> 42:00.142
[Geno] I don't want another job!
I wanna work for you.

42:00.226 --> 42:05.356
I want… I want you to work for Talor Gooch
and make fucking 17 million and come back!

42:05.439 --> 42:08.609
I wanna work for Joel Dahmen
and just make 750,000 a year.

42:08.692 --> 42:10.778
I want you to fly me private.

42:10.861 --> 42:13.405
I would love that too,
but I can only do that

42:13.489 --> 42:16.200
if you play great golf,
and I'm trying to help you.

42:16.283 --> 42:18.619
-Why are you being so stubborn about this?
-[Dahmen] I'm not.

Netflix…
it's weird they're right here, but…

42:23.082 --> 42:27.253
but, dude, being famous and shooting 76
is fucking the worst thing in my life.

42:27.336 --> 42:30.256
[Geno] I know. I feel bad. I honestly do.

42:30.339 --> 42:32.258
It's the worst fucking thing in the world.

42:32.341 --> 42:34.510
Now, when you're golf-famous, that's fun,

42:34.593 --> 42:36.971

and they cheer for you.

42:37.054 --> 42:39.557
Shooting 76 and missing the cut by one.

in a worse spot in my life.

42:43.394 --> 42:44.228

just hang out with my kid and be away.

-I will talk to this guy.
-And I appreciate that.

"Look, everyone around you
is working harder than you're working,

42:56.156 --> 42:59.159

where you're supposed to be."

43:00.160 --> 43:01.578
"But you gotta care."

[Geno chuckles] Hey, look…

43:05.749 --> 43:07.042

-[Dahmen] I might shoot 80 on Thursday.
-[Geno] That's okay.

43:19.346 --> 43:21.807
I don't even care
if you shoot 80 on Thursday.

43:22.308 --> 43:23.809
As long as you're trying.

43:25.561 --> 43:26.437
Damn it.

43:28.105 --> 43:28.981

-This is so weird.
-It's so weird.

43:53.297 --> 43:54.131

43:54.632 --> 43:56.300
[Dahmen] Thanks for caring about me.

44:02.431 --> 44:06.143

I thought I would give up golfing, but…

44:06.226 --> 44:11.482
I don't care if we miss another five cuts
if we're… working toward the right things.

44:11.565 --> 44:13.233
-You know?
-[Dahmen] I think we are.

44:13.317 --> 44:14.860
Good. That's all that matters.

44:15.569 --> 44:19.448
'Cause if we just don't give a fuck,
and we just continue to be like,

44:19.531 --> 44:21.492
"Oh, let's just miss another cut,"

44:21.575 --> 44:24.703
"Let's go get fucked up this weekend,"
and "who cares" again,

44:24.787 --> 44:26.330

Hey. I love the fuck out of you.

44:37.508 --> 44:40.260
-I love you too.
-And I can't thank you enough for being--

44:40.344 --> 44:42.763
-Ugh.
-I wish you would've got another bag.

44:43.639 --> 44:45.182
I don't want another bag.

44:46.308 --> 44:48.268

Okay. Are we there yet?

45:02.574 --> 45:04.243
[Dahmen] Geno wants what's best.

45:04.743 --> 45:07.746
This is way bigger than the game of golf
or a caddie-player relationship.

45:07.830 --> 45:12.376
He's going the extra mile to try
to dig us out of this hole together.

45:13.877 --> 45:14.712
[Geno] Nice shot.

45:15.379 --> 45:18.924
[Dahmen] It's a road I'm willing to go
down, to talk to a sports psychologist.

45:19.425 --> 45:20.551
That is the next step.

45:22.970 --> 45:25.222
This isn't gonna
magically get better overnight,

45:25.305 --> 45:27.349
but we're at least going the other way.

45:27.433 --> 45:29.560
And it feels like
when you've switched momentum,

45:29.643 --> 45:31.478
it's a great feeling for everyone.

45:31.979 --> 45:34.022
It's so much easier when I do that.

46:02.176 --> 46:04.094
to a different life, a different world.

46:04.178 --> 46:05.429
[commentator] All gone wrong.

46:05.512 --> 46:07.765
If you're not playing well,
it's gone in a flash.

46:07.848 --> 46:09.099
It's a fucking grind.

46:09.183 --> 46:13.312
Having early success, your expectations
are to win a major championship.

46:13.395 --> 46:15.689
-Ow!
-[man] Anything less is a failure.

46:18.233 --> 46:20.235
[dramatic music playing]
is a failure.
