WEBVTT

00:06.005 --> 00:08.258
-[suspenseful music playing]
-[Ted] Okay. On this couch?

00:08.341 --> 00:11.720
[man] Yeah. We want to try to make it
as comfy for you as possible.

00:12.262 --> 00:14.639
-So if you're… Yeah.
-Yeah, that's good.

00:14.723 --> 00:16.057
[man laughs]

00:16.141 --> 00:18.810
Ted Scott! Ready for his interview.

00:18.893 --> 00:20.603
[man 2 laughs]

00:22.689 --> 00:24.065
[Ted] My name is Ted Scott.

00:24.816 --> 00:27.819
I'm a PGA TOUR caddie.
This is my 25th year.

00:32.866 --> 00:36.619
The caddie-player relationship
is really important.

00:36.703 --> 00:39.289
Caddies have one
of the hardest jobs in golf.

00:39.372 --> 00:42.500
[Rapaport] They're not hitting shots,
but they're directly tied

00:42.584 --> 00:44.210
to the golfer's performance.

00:44.294 --> 00:46.629
That rough, just it's gonna be
very hard to judge.

00:46.713 --> 00:49.340
[Rapaport] If the golfer plays like shit,
they get paid like shit.

00:49.424 --> 00:52.886
You told me on Tuesday you were gonna
make a million dollars this four weeks.

00:52.969 --> 00:54.637
Well, we gotta get after it.

00:54.721 --> 00:57.599
Sometimes, you're a psychologist.
Sometimes, you gotta build them up.

00:58.183 --> 01:00.643
The right caddie
can break you or make you.

01:02.228 --> 01:05.106
[commentator] One of the all-time seasons.

01:05.190 --> 01:06.941
[commentator 2] Number one in the world.

01:07.025 --> 01:08.193
No one would disagree

01:08.276 --> 01:11.821
that this year has been the season
of Scottie Scheffler and Ted Scott.

01:11.905 --> 01:12.864
Hey, Teddy!

01:13.490 --> 01:15.492
[Ted] He's
not really thinking about legacy.

01:15.575 --> 01:17.619
It's more like,
"If I'm playing the tournament,

01:17.702 --> 01:19.996
I wanna destroy you."
And that's what he loves.

01:20.080 --> 01:24.918
[Dethier] What Scottie and Ted have
been able to accomplish is historic.

01:25.001 --> 01:27.170
Every other player-caddie combo

01:27.253 --> 01:30.799
is hoping somehow
to replicate that success.

01:30.882 --> 01:34.177
My name is Carl Smith.
I caddie for Sahith Theegala.

01:35.720 --> 01:37.555
I've been caddying ten years now.

01:37.639 --> 01:40.141
And I've experienced the highest of highs.

01:40.225 --> 01:43.394
[commentator] Sahith Theegala
is a winner on the PGA TOUR.

01:43.478 --> 01:45.563
And the lowest of lows.

01:45.647 --> 01:47.565
-[woman] I'm sorry.
-It's okay. It's okay.

01:48.274 --> 01:52.237
[Carl] I think the last few years
have been preparing himself

01:52.320 --> 01:55.073
to elevate his status
in the game even further.

01:55.573 --> 01:57.742
I really believe he can get to number one.

01:58.910 --> 02:01.579
[Rapaport] The question is,
does this team have what it takes

02:01.663 --> 02:03.623
to make this a breakout year?

02:05.333 --> 02:07.877
[dramatic music playing]

02:17.262 --> 02:19.264
[gentle music playing]

02:23.309 --> 02:26.062
[Scottie] Don't film me eating
the Doritos. My wife will be mad.

02:27.188 --> 02:29.691
[man] How would you describe
your guys' relationship?

02:29.774 --> 02:31.901
Me and Teddy's? Difficult.

02:34.571 --> 02:35.572
[Ted] Bromance.

02:36.197 --> 02:37.448
[Scottie chuckles] Bromance.

02:37.532 --> 02:38.616
[Ted chuckles]

02:38.700 --> 02:40.702
-[Scottie] Sure. Sure.
-[Ted] Sure.

02:41.995 --> 02:43.663
[Wilson] In the whole sport,

02:43.746 --> 02:46.374
you're not gonna find
a more solid relationship

02:46.457 --> 02:48.751
than Scottie Scheffler and Ted Scott.

02:48.835 --> 02:51.504
[Scottie] What do you think, Teddy?
Seven iron.

02:52.088 --> 02:53.339
My guess is a seven.

02:53.423 --> 02:55.133
[Wilson] And people may not realize

02:55.216 --> 02:59.846
just how important that relationship
has been to Scottie's success.

03:00.430 --> 03:01.472
[crowd] Oh!

03:01.556 --> 03:04.392
[Wilson] Four years ago,
Scottie Scheffler wasn't the super Scottie

03:04.475 --> 03:06.144
that we see him as today.

03:06.227 --> 03:07.979
[crowd] Oh!

03:08.062 --> 03:09.814
[Wilson] He really struggled
with his putting.

03:09.898 --> 03:13.067
And he actually showed
a lot of emotion on the course.

03:13.943 --> 03:15.320
I'm so tired of this, man.

03:15.820 --> 03:17.947
It's such an easy putt.
It's such an easy putt.

03:18.031 --> 03:21.409
I don't feel like I hit a bad putt.
I can't even hit the freakin' hole.

03:22.452 --> 03:24.537
[Scottie] My mechanics were a bit off,
and so it…

03:25.622 --> 03:29.792
At times, I think I was just ingraining
the wrong stuff into my putting.

03:30.793 --> 03:34.214
I used to fight anger issues.
I used to get too frustrated.

03:34.297 --> 03:35.673
Golf was too important to me.

03:35.757 --> 03:38.259
That's where I placed my identity
for a long time.

03:38.343 --> 03:41.471
-[commentator] Don't bend that putter.
-[commentator 2] That was extraordinary.

03:41.554 --> 03:44.224
[Scottie] I try not to change much,
but I needed to change something.

03:44.933 --> 03:47.644
[commentator] Ted Scott
here with his man Bubba Watson.

03:47.727 --> 03:49.646
[Zuël] Ted Scott is an incredible caddie.

03:49.729 --> 03:53.524
He has had a wonderful, storied career
with many big names,

03:53.608 --> 03:56.361
including 15 years with Bubba Watson.

03:56.986 --> 04:01.199
They had two Masters Green Jackets,
multiple PGA TOUR wins.

04:02.533 --> 04:05.787
In November of 2021,
I split with Bubba Watson.

04:06.371 --> 04:08.706
I think Bubba and I
had spent so much time together,

04:08.790 --> 04:10.500
we really weren't
growing together anymore.

04:10.583 --> 04:13.044
And so I was like, "I just wanna move on
and do something else."

04:13.127 --> 04:16.130
And basically, a friend of mine
approached me and said,

04:16.214 --> 04:19.175
"You're about to receive a phone call
from a really good player."

04:19.259 --> 04:21.219
"This guy's really good,
like really good."

04:22.428 --> 04:23.721
I had never really met Scottie

04:23.805 --> 04:27.392
other than the fact that we played
with him in the New Orleans tournament.

04:27.475 --> 04:29.769
And I saw that he was
kind of feisty, you know?

04:30.645 --> 04:33.773
And so that was one of the questions
I actually asked him when he called me.

04:33.856 --> 04:37.110
I said, "I don't know if I wanna work
for you, 'cause of your attitude."

04:37.193 --> 04:38.403
I posed that question to him.

04:38.486 --> 04:39.862
He said, "That's a fair question."

04:39.946 --> 04:42.073
"And that's something
I'm willing to work on."

04:42.156 --> 04:44.534
All I need is a little hope,
and I'll get behind anybody.

04:44.617 --> 04:47.370
So I decided to take the job,
and here we are. [chuckles]

04:48.371 --> 04:49.539
[Ted] Man, I'm like…

04:50.039 --> 04:53.209
What's a good analogy
for something that's really broken down?

04:53.293 --> 04:54.961
-That's what I'm like.
-[Scottie] A caddie?

04:55.044 --> 04:56.296
[Ted chuckles] A caddie.

04:56.379 --> 04:59.632
I'm like a caddie that's been working
for 25 years on this tour.

04:59.716 --> 05:02.552
Oh, I have. That's why I'm broken down.
[chuckles]

05:02.635 --> 05:04.595
What most of the public
thinks about caddies

05:04.679 --> 05:07.515
is they just show up in a parking lot,
they grab a heavy bag,

05:07.598 --> 05:09.892
and they go carry it around
and get some snacks

05:09.976 --> 05:12.061
and maybe tell a funny joke
every now and then.

05:12.145 --> 05:14.605
But there's a lot more
to what they provide.

05:15.815 --> 05:17.650
[Dethier] A lot of caddies on the PGA TOUR

05:17.734 --> 05:21.404
were serious competitive players
themselves, or they were coaches.

05:21.487 --> 05:25.533
And so they bring a level of expertise
to planning out course strategy

05:25.616 --> 05:28.578
or reading greens or picking clubs.

05:28.661 --> 05:30.663
[Ted] You might have a player
that's very technical,

05:30.747 --> 05:32.623
and he wants somebody
to be looking at his swing.

05:32.707 --> 05:35.418
You might have someone very emotional.
Some wanna know the course.

05:35.501 --> 05:38.504
So you're always just trying to figure out
what gaps to fill.

05:38.588 --> 05:40.923
[Dethier] Ted Scott
had some experience to draw on,

05:41.007 --> 05:42.842
but maybe the most important thing

05:42.925 --> 05:45.428
that he brought
to his relationship with Scottie

05:45.511 --> 05:47.138
was an attitude check.

05:48.347 --> 05:50.224
[Ted] I'll take credit
for planting the seed,

05:50.308 --> 05:53.519
but that was really a cool thing
that Scottie was willing to work on that.

05:53.603 --> 05:55.104
And that was exciting for me.

05:55.188 --> 05:56.731
I was like, "Man, this could be fun."

05:57.690 --> 06:00.693
[commentator] Scottie Scheffler is
the king of Bay Hill again.

06:00.777 --> 06:01.694
[applause]

06:01.778 --> 06:06.324
[commentator] Yes, Scottie Scheffler
is the 50th Players champion.

06:06.407 --> 06:09.660
Into the night with an amazing par.

06:09.744 --> 06:11.579
♪ Telling me why I got bit by a spider… ♪

06:11.662 --> 06:12.497
[commentator] Wow.

06:13.331 --> 06:15.124
♪ If you want space
I'll help you take it home…

06:15.208 --> 06:18.628
Scottie Scheffler has won six times
on the PGA TOUR this year,

06:18.711 --> 06:23.299
including his second Green Jacket,
his five other top fives.

06:23.383 --> 06:26.260
And just for good measure,
he won Olympic gold.

06:26.344 --> 06:27.929
Scottie. [chuckles]

06:28.012 --> 06:30.848
Like, he's doing everything
better than everybody.

06:31.516 --> 06:33.976
The thing that Scottie's done
for some of these guys, it's like,

06:34.060 --> 06:36.062
yeah, you could play good every week.

06:36.145 --> 06:39.190
It's like there's only one other guy
who's played good every week

06:39.774 --> 06:41.192
in… you know what I mean?

06:41.776 --> 06:43.402
[commentator] I don't believe it.

06:43.486 --> 06:46.197
[Rapaport] It's all of a sudden
having an impact on other players

06:46.280 --> 06:49.117
that we really haven't seen
since Tiger Woods.

06:49.200 --> 06:50.034
[cheering]

06:50.118 --> 06:52.120
[Ted] Go back to Tiger, 2000.

06:52.203 --> 06:55.039
We all like the idea
of, like, a superhero.

06:55.581 --> 06:57.834
And so Scottie's having
that kind of run this year.

06:58.418 --> 07:00.837
And you see it in the kids and the people

07:00.920 --> 07:02.964
that want selfies
and pictures and things like that.

07:03.756 --> 07:06.342
The star is growing at a scary rate.

07:06.426 --> 07:08.094
[commentator] Pure domination.

07:08.177 --> 07:09.554
[chuckles]

07:09.637 --> 07:11.514
The Scott and Scottie Show.

07:13.808 --> 07:14.809
103 from here.

07:18.438 --> 07:19.939
-Thank you.
-Hey-o.

07:20.857 --> 07:22.775
[Ted] I don't think
it ever really felt real.

07:22.859 --> 07:26.487
As far as being the face of the sport, I…
I don't really think much about it.

07:26.571 --> 07:27.613
[Scottie laughs]

07:28.364 --> 07:29.949
-[Ted] Who's that?
-It's Meredith.

07:30.491 --> 07:32.368
"My wife!" Hello.

07:32.452 --> 07:35.455
[Scottie] I love competition, I love
playing, and I also love going home.

07:35.538 --> 07:38.791
You know, I love my son
more than anything in the world.

07:39.417 --> 07:42.587
I don't even really remember what life
was like before. It's kind of wild.

07:43.504 --> 07:44.589
He's doing great.

07:44.672 --> 07:47.925
I can sit there and stare,
watch him stretch, laugh at him all day.

07:48.426 --> 07:52.597
I think a lot of people could have a baby,
and it'd actually slow down their season.

07:52.680 --> 07:54.724
But, uh, he's very well-equipped at that.

07:54.807 --> 07:56.934
He handles that stuff
really well, surprisingly.

07:57.810 --> 08:00.479
[Rapaport] This week's TOUR
Championship is an opportunity for Scottie

08:00.563 --> 08:02.982
to put a bow on his incredible year.

08:03.065 --> 08:06.402
But this tournament, in particular,
has eluded him in years past.

08:07.528 --> 08:10.239
[Zuël] For the last two years,
he's come in as the world number one

08:10.323 --> 08:14.160
and has been usurped
by Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland.

08:14.911 --> 08:18.706
We have this situation with Scottie
where perhaps this is his white whale.

08:20.249 --> 08:22.793
[Scottie] Gosh dang it, Teddy.
That was supposed to go in.

08:23.669 --> 08:25.671
[suspenseful music playing]

08:26.339 --> 08:28.341
[cheering]

08:28.424 --> 08:30.301
¿Dónde está mi caddie?

08:33.012 --> 08:34.388
Uh, you need anything, boss?

08:34.472 --> 08:37.725
All good, Ross. Thank you.
I kind of want to hit another one.

08:37.808 --> 08:42.813
Sahith Theegala has been a fan favorite
since his rookie year on the PGA TOUR.

08:42.897 --> 08:46.317
And this season,
he's playing the best golf of his career.

08:46.400 --> 08:47.652
[cheering and applause]

08:47.735 --> 08:49.028
[man] He's really good.

08:49.529 --> 08:51.447
He's had seven top tens,

08:51.531 --> 08:54.784
two solo seconds in signature events.

08:55.284 --> 08:58.788
And it felt more consistent this year.

08:58.871 --> 09:01.874
Sahith Theegala,
the field is fucking terrified.

09:01.958 --> 09:04.335
The question now is,
does he have the right stuff

09:04.418 --> 09:06.712
to break through
and take on that top spot?

09:09.048 --> 09:14.720
So this is a book from the Theegalas
after Sahith's first win at Napa.

09:15.596 --> 09:18.474
Fun to see me smiling for once.
That's a rarity.

09:19.058 --> 09:24.355
First met Sahith
when he was entering high school.

09:24.438 --> 09:26.899
[Sahith] Carl was
the assistant coach in Pepperdine.

09:26.983 --> 09:28.359
And I felt like he was there

09:28.442 --> 09:31.237
at every event
that I played as a junior golfer.

09:32.697 --> 09:35.199
[Carl] I was recruiting.
And I saw him play.

09:35.283 --> 09:38.119
And I was like,
"This kid knows how to play golf."

09:40.162 --> 09:43.708
[Sahith] He probably believed in me
more than I did in myself back then.

09:43.791 --> 09:46.586
I knew that was somebody
that I wanted as one of my coaches.

09:46.669 --> 09:49.589
Unfortunately, that never happened.
He never got to coach me at Pepperdine.

09:50.339 --> 09:53.634
I left to start caddying
before he got to school.

09:53.718 --> 09:55.720
-Don't be afraid to get it back there.
-Yeah.

09:56.304 --> 09:57.888
[reporter] The Pepperdine men's golf team

09:57.972 --> 10:01.350
are the 2017
Southwestern Invitational champions.

10:01.434 --> 10:04.895
Leading the waves in the invitational
with Sahith Theegala.

10:04.979 --> 10:08.149
[Carl] And I got a call
from the Pepperdine head coach.

10:08.232 --> 10:11.485
And he was like,
"Sahith wants you to caddie for him."

10:11.986 --> 10:16.657
What I saw in him at 13, 14 years old,

10:16.741 --> 10:19.285
I honestly think he can be
number one in the world.

10:23.164 --> 10:25.207
[woman] She's ready for her close-up.
[chuckles]

10:25.291 --> 10:28.377
-[man] Ivy, you're gonna be on TV.
-[woman chuckles]

10:28.461 --> 10:30.504
[man] Isn't that crazy?
You're gonna be on TV, Ivy.

10:30.588 --> 10:31.672
[chuckles]

10:31.756 --> 10:34.800
She was made for TV. Look how…
look how pretty she is. [chuckles]

10:35.635 --> 10:38.846
[Sahith] This year was awesome because
I had a really nice regular season.

10:38.929 --> 10:42.099
It's nice to feel I'm in the middle
of the pack and try and contend.

10:42.183 --> 10:44.310
[Juju] This picture frame
just came in the mail.

10:44.393 --> 10:46.020
And the first thing, Sahith opens it.

10:46.103 --> 10:48.814
He goes,
"I got Justin Thomas's signature."

10:48.898 --> 10:50.524
[all laugh]

10:50.608 --> 10:52.902
It's funny.
Playing with Jason Day and Padraig…

10:52.985 --> 10:55.112
-Yeah.
-We grew up watching these guys.

10:55.196 --> 10:58.115
And now I'm playing against them.
It felt kind of, like, awkward.

10:58.199 --> 11:00.284
Like, what am I gonna talk about
with these guys?

11:00.368 --> 11:02.995
[Rapaport] It's entirely possible
to have a really nice career

11:03.079 --> 11:04.497
in the middle of the pack.

11:04.580 --> 11:07.750
But is that what Sahith wants?
I think Sahith wants to be the best.

11:08.668 --> 11:11.420
[Zuël] When we look at
a player's PGA TOUR career,

11:11.504 --> 11:14.173
year three seems to be
when the magic happens.

11:14.256 --> 11:16.384
[commentator] Ted Scott
and Scottie Scheffler.

11:16.467 --> 11:18.886
[Dethier] If you look at
Scottie Scheffler's third season,

11:18.969 --> 11:22.056
that's when he won four times,
including the Masters.

11:22.682 --> 11:25.768
Now we're getting to the end
of Sahith's third season.

11:25.851 --> 11:29.230
And if he really wants
to make this a breakout year,

11:29.313 --> 11:30.523
he needs a win.

11:31.565 --> 11:33.818
[Sahith] It's like, "Okay, yes,
I'm very happy to be here."

11:33.901 --> 11:35.945
But there's still a lot of, like,
bad golf in there.

11:36.028 --> 11:38.114
It's like, "Oh, it's okay.
You've made it here."

11:38.197 --> 11:39.782
I'm like, "No, it's not okay."

11:39.865 --> 11:41.784
[Carl] Good tournament or bad tournament,

11:41.867 --> 11:44.161
you always say,
"I can get so much better."

11:44.245 --> 11:47.998
-[Sahith] Yeah.
-[Carl] That makes you a little different.

11:48.916 --> 11:51.168
Sahith has not been playing
great golf recently.

11:51.252 --> 11:53.921
He was tied for 46th
at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

11:54.004 --> 11:55.756
[commentator 2] Back-to-back misses.

11:55.840 --> 11:57.967
[Rapaport] He was dead last
at the BMW Championship.

11:58.050 --> 12:00.636
And he's running out of chances to win.

12:01.679 --> 12:04.432
[commentator] It has been
a rough week for Sahith Theegala.

12:04.515 --> 12:07.560
[Sahith] Yeah, um…
I… I didn't play too well,

12:07.643 --> 12:10.396
but definitely gives me
some extra fuel to the fire this week

12:10.479 --> 12:12.022
going into the TOUR Championship.

12:12.106 --> 12:16.444
This is six, the par five.
The second shot's like way uphill.

12:17.236 --> 12:19.238
They took one of the bunkers out there.

12:19.947 --> 12:21.073
If we're playing a week,

12:21.157 --> 12:23.325
every year we come here,
the course is the same.

12:24.076 --> 12:25.786
I don't have a ton of homework to do.

12:25.870 --> 12:28.914
If we go to a Major, a place we haven't
played in five years or ten years

12:28.998 --> 12:32.293
or we've never been to,
I'm gonna see it as many times as I can.

12:32.376 --> 12:35.337
My job is to know the golf course.

12:35.421 --> 12:37.882
Um, you said they made
some changes to the course?

12:37.965 --> 12:41.552
Yeah, comparing it to my yardage book
from two years ago,

12:41.635 --> 12:43.512
it's like they've changed every hole.

12:43.596 --> 12:46.223
I'm like, "I'm not even sure
what hole this is."

12:46.307 --> 12:49.310
It is always kind of nice knowing
no one's gonna have an advantage

12:49.393 --> 12:52.897
of, like, "I've made the TOUR Championship
the last however many years."

12:52.980 --> 12:54.440
It's drastically different.

12:55.149 --> 12:56.942
I got my book for the week.

12:57.860 --> 12:59.528
Always got my range finder.

13:00.529 --> 13:02.156
Got my sunscreen. Need that.

13:02.948 --> 13:07.453
The TOUR Championship is one of
the most important tournaments of the year

13:07.536 --> 13:10.998
because the opportunity here is massive.

13:11.081 --> 13:13.125
[woman] Like 25-million-dollar massive?

13:13.959 --> 13:14.960
Yeah.

13:15.044 --> 13:16.712
[suspenseful music playing]

13:16.795 --> 13:20.674
[commentator] The season-long race
comes down to this week and this place.

13:20.758 --> 13:23.135
The East Lake Golf Club, a familiar place

13:23.219 --> 13:25.429
that now brings a whole new challenge.

13:25.513 --> 13:29.600
We're thrilled to be back in Atlanta
to crown our FedEx Cup champion.

13:30.184 --> 13:34.396
I am excited for the world to see
this course restoration.

13:35.064 --> 13:38.609
Man, they really just opened up
that right side, haven't they?

13:39.401 --> 13:41.654
[commentator] Even though the greens
are in similar spots,

13:41.737 --> 13:45.032
it's not remotely close to what
they're used to playing at East Lake.

13:45.115 --> 13:49.036
I think this is my fifth year here.
It's literally not the same golf course.

13:50.037 --> 13:52.414
[commentator] Number one coming in.
He's held that position

13:52.498 --> 13:55.167
throughout much of the FedEx Cup season.

13:55.251 --> 13:57.127
[commentator 2] The advantage
Scheffler will have

13:57.211 --> 14:00.339
is he and Ted Scott, his caddie,
know how to pick apart a golf course.

14:00.422 --> 14:02.383
And I think that's gonna be a big benefit.

14:03.467 --> 14:07.471
[commentator 3] The 30 best in 2024
on the PGA TOUR, they are here.

14:07.555 --> 14:12.601
Everybody vying to put their name
on the FedEx Cup trophy.

14:20.776 --> 14:22.695
Looks like someone already had one.

14:27.825 --> 14:29.577
[woman] So who are you staying with?

14:30.077 --> 14:34.790
Um, with Ted Scott and John Limanti
and Brandon Parsons.

14:36.917 --> 14:39.753
I think John's still asleep.
Teddy was out early.

14:41.297 --> 14:42.715
So luxurious.

14:43.465 --> 14:45.551
We just live out of a suitcase.

14:46.135 --> 14:48.929
I don't think I've ever unpacked it
once on the road, ever.

14:49.597 --> 14:50.723
[Joel] I love the caddies.

14:50.806 --> 14:53.976
I love hanging out with them.
They have a great perspective on life.

14:54.059 --> 14:56.020
They're putting in
the time and effort, traveling.

14:56.103 --> 14:59.064
They're staying in hotels.
They're staying in houses together.

14:59.148 --> 15:02.151
Let's see if they have, like,
to-go cups or something.

15:02.234 --> 15:06.155
[Joel] It's not easy when your paycheck
rides on someone else hitting a golf ball.

15:06.655 --> 15:09.033
They go through the same emotions
that we go through.

15:09.116 --> 15:10.492
[Carl] Nope, out of luck.

15:11.452 --> 15:13.621
Being on the road, it is lonely.

15:14.121 --> 15:15.414
I've missed a lot of things.

15:15.497 --> 15:19.460
I've missed a lot of birthdays,
a lot of friends' weddings.

15:19.960 --> 15:22.713
You need a nice support system around you

15:22.796 --> 15:25.257
'cause if not, I think you just go mental.

15:25.799 --> 15:28.135
Okay, let's see if I can do this
without burning my mouth.

15:30.346 --> 15:31.472
Mm.

15:31.555 --> 15:32.931
No, still a little hot.

15:36.185 --> 15:39.271
[Sahith] I haven't had a great couple
weeks, but I think Carl does a good job

15:39.355 --> 15:40.856
of kind of keeping me focused.

15:41.357 --> 15:44.109
I feel like I'm kind of due
for a good week, in a way.

15:44.944 --> 15:49.740
[Carl] I think Sahith's best asset
is the ability to move on from stuff.

15:49.823 --> 15:55.204
But Sahith specifically does not like
a rah-rah cheerleader.

15:55.287 --> 15:57.081
Like, that doesn't fire him up.

15:57.164 --> 16:00.584
I know when he plays bad,
it fires him up, that's for sure.

16:01.251 --> 16:03.212
[indistinct chatter]

16:03.295 --> 16:04.755
[quiet pop music playing]

16:04.838 --> 16:06.966
-You're the best roommate ever.
-Thanks, buddy.

16:07.049 --> 16:08.550
-Are you even there?
-[Ted] Yeah.

16:08.634 --> 16:09.843
-Are you sure?
-Yeah, dude.

16:09.927 --> 16:13.097
-I've only seen you there one time.
-You've seen me. I just let you in.

16:13.180 --> 16:15.432
I think that's about as far as we got.

16:15.516 --> 16:16.642
[Ted chuckles]

16:20.729 --> 16:24.858
I do this every week,
even if I've been to the course ten times.

16:24.942 --> 16:28.946
You and your yardage book,
for me, there's nothing better.

16:30.030 --> 16:33.534
Some just assume we show up,
and our guys are so good

16:33.617 --> 16:36.996
that we just tell them where to hit it,
or they know where to hit it,

16:37.079 --> 16:40.958
but there's prep work
on where to go, where not to go.

16:41.041 --> 16:42.793
[Carl] So I made a note,

16:42.876 --> 16:45.546
drawing in the basic undulation
of the green.

16:45.629 --> 16:48.590
Put a red X just because
if you went long there,

16:48.674 --> 16:51.176
you would have no chance
to that back left pin.

16:51.677 --> 16:53.721
I'm gonna check out these bunkers too.

16:54.304 --> 16:56.598
[woman] Do you caddies
kind of stick together, then?

16:56.682 --> 16:58.517
I would say, for the most part, yeah.

16:58.600 --> 17:01.311
But at the end of the day,
everyone wants to win.

17:01.812 --> 17:03.564
[upbeat music playing]

17:03.647 --> 17:05.816
[Rapaport] The top 30 players
in the FedEx Cup standings

17:05.899 --> 17:07.526
qualify for the TOUR Championship.

17:07.609 --> 17:10.946
And first place comes
with a 25-million-dollar payday.

17:11.822 --> 17:14.533
Now, the TOUR Championship
has a special set of rules.

17:15.033 --> 17:18.412
The number one player starts at the top
of the leaderboard at 10 under par.

17:18.495 --> 17:20.372
The number two player starts at 8 under.

17:20.456 --> 17:22.666
And the stroke advantage
decreases from there.

17:23.167 --> 17:25.878
To no surprise, the person
sitting at the top of the leaderboard

17:25.961 --> 17:27.212
is Scottie Scheffler.

17:28.797 --> 17:31.425
I'm gonna come to Dallas National
with my new move.

17:31.508 --> 17:33.635
Right here, get low, I guess,
and then rotate.

17:33.719 --> 17:34.762
No, but us…

17:34.845 --> 17:36.013
I can beat you at Dallas.

17:36.096 --> 17:38.265
I got four months to get
my seven-stroke handicap down.

17:38.348 --> 17:40.934
[Scottie] You're supposed
to dream at night, not during the day.

17:41.018 --> 17:42.311
My seven-stroke handicap.

17:42.811 --> 17:46.774
[Sahith] Scottie is on one of
the most historic runs ever in golf.

17:46.857 --> 17:50.819
The beauty of the game is it feels like
if you have a great day and he doesn't,

17:50.903 --> 17:53.238
you still feel like
you could beat him that day.

17:53.322 --> 17:55.783
But the problem is,
he doesn't have very many bad days.

17:55.866 --> 17:58.869
Your guy is so good,
and he kinda hasn't played as good.

17:58.952 --> 18:02.039
He should play good…
He's like better than everybody.

18:02.539 --> 18:03.540
I think…

18:05.042 --> 18:09.421
I think he's figuring it out a little bit
as far as the pacing himself.

18:09.505 --> 18:10.422
Yeah.

18:10.506 --> 18:12.216
Yeah. Um…

18:12.299 --> 18:16.011
'Cause we've had a couple
little nagging things here and there.

18:16.512 --> 18:18.430
So I think he's figuring it out.

18:18.514 --> 18:20.891
[Sahith] It's funny.
The relationship between me and Carl,

18:20.974 --> 18:24.186
now that I'm on the PGA TOUR,
has really not changed too much.

18:25.187 --> 18:27.397
I'm very lucky and thankful
for our friendship.

18:27.481 --> 18:31.110
And I know that's not
the most common thing out on tour

18:31.193 --> 18:32.277
because it's cutthroat.

18:32.361 --> 18:34.113
When it comes down to it, a job's a job.

18:34.196 --> 18:36.240
And you know,
you can be best friends with somebody,

18:36.323 --> 18:39.910
but if you feel like they're not doing
the job to the best of their ability

18:39.993 --> 18:42.913
and it's costing you,
then you've got to get rid of that person

18:42.996 --> 18:43.914
and get a new guy.

18:43.997 --> 18:45.958
But Carl's
one of the hardest workers I know.

18:46.041 --> 18:49.169
And he doesn't take his job for granted.
Doesn't take our friendship for granted.

18:49.253 --> 18:51.755
And I don't either.
Or I don't try to, at least.

18:51.839 --> 18:55.592
There have been times where,
maybe when things aren't going as well,

18:55.676 --> 18:57.845
I get a little too loose out there
and just start joking.

18:57.928 --> 18:59.763
But, honestly, for the most part,

18:59.847 --> 19:03.142
there's not really any disadvantage
of… of being too close.

19:06.311 --> 19:08.147
[man] Look at Teddy.
He looks like an old man,

19:08.230 --> 19:11.775
wrapped up in a towel
with his shower flip-flops on.

19:11.859 --> 19:12.818
It's cold, man.

19:13.485 --> 19:16.155
[man] It's good for you.
We're about to go out into the sauna.

19:16.238 --> 19:20.284
Cold, hot, cold, hot.
Run outside and back inside.

19:20.909 --> 19:22.536
-See you, Teddy.
-[Ted] Have a good day.

19:22.619 --> 19:25.122
[Scott] Have a good one, pal.
Not too good, though.

19:27.249 --> 19:29.710
[Carl] We're going
with number threes and fours today.

19:29.793 --> 19:31.879
We heard Scottie Scheffler
uses high numbers,

19:31.962 --> 19:33.964
so he's pretty good, I figure…

19:35.549 --> 19:38.093
-Maybe just do whatever he's doing.
-[Scottie chuckles]

19:38.177 --> 19:40.804
-Hey, we were just talking about you.
-[Scottie] Oh yeah?

19:40.888 --> 19:42.014
All good things, I'm sure.

19:42.097 --> 19:43.974
We said, uh…

19:44.057 --> 19:47.769
we said we heard you play high numbers,
so we just copy whatever Scottie does.

19:47.853 --> 19:52.065
'Cause the ones and twos
end up going in the giveaway bin.

19:52.691 --> 19:54.526
[Scottie] I like it! See you, Carl.

19:54.610 --> 19:55.444
See you, man.

19:56.236 --> 20:01.116
[commentator] Sahith Theegala.
This is his 100th PGA TOUR start.

20:01.200 --> 20:03.410
[Sahith] They go to Michael's.
They bought every T-shirt.

20:03.493 --> 20:06.288
Just to… you know, just to give motivation
for my son, you know?

20:06.371 --> 20:08.332
So he'll be pumped up. [chuckles]

20:15.005 --> 20:16.006
[commentator] Wow.

20:17.090 --> 20:18.508
[commentator 2] A tough putt.

20:19.384 --> 20:23.055
Theegala looking for some momentum
here on Thursday.

20:24.640 --> 20:28.310
[commentator] Now on the first tee,
please welcome Scottie Scheffler.

20:28.393 --> 20:30.687
[cheering]

20:32.773 --> 20:34.524
[commentator] Scottie
looking anxiously at it.

20:34.608 --> 20:35.609
Needs a kick.

20:36.318 --> 20:38.779
Oh, that's gonna be
blocked out over there.

20:39.529 --> 20:43.075
-Hey, guys, can you stand still, please?
-[Ted] Hold up. Hold still.

20:43.158 --> 20:45.535
Want me to move the people
so you can actually see the flag?

20:45.619 --> 20:46.453
Yes.

20:46.536 --> 20:49.081
Guys, we can't see the flag.
You've gotta move. Everybody!

20:49.164 --> 20:51.792
[commentator 2] All the jobs
that go into being a caddie, about 12,

20:51.875 --> 20:53.752
certainly, traffic cop is one of them.

20:55.295 --> 20:56.964
Clears the trees nicely.

20:58.298 --> 20:59.383
[applause]

21:00.634 --> 21:02.928
[commentator] Consistency
for Scottie Scheffler.

21:04.221 --> 21:05.973
This is up the center of the fairway.

21:06.056 --> 21:08.642
[commentator 2] Long as it hangs in there,
that'll be fine.

21:08.725 --> 21:09.726
[commentator] Oh yeah.

21:11.728 --> 21:14.022
Scottie for his birdie at seven.

21:14.439 --> 21:16.191
[commentator 2] Let's see
if he can get there.

21:16.942 --> 21:19.820
-[commentator] He did. And he drops it in.
-[crowd clamoring]

21:19.903 --> 21:21.113
Scottie Scheffler.

21:21.863 --> 21:24.366
You never know
when he's just gonna bust out

21:24.449 --> 21:26.451
and go on one of these crazy stretches.

21:26.535 --> 21:29.371
When he gets rolling,
it is incredible to watch.

21:29.454 --> 21:32.040
Think if I'm going
at that tower there,

21:32.124 --> 21:33.250
it could go through?

21:33.333 --> 21:34.835
[commentator] Sahith Theegala.

21:34.918 --> 21:36.670
[commentator 2] Just outside
the top ten here.

21:36.753 --> 21:38.630
[suspenseful music playing]

21:39.923 --> 21:40.799
[commentator] Oh yeah.

21:41.300 --> 21:43.343
[commentator 2] Great shot
for Sahith Theegala.

21:43.427 --> 21:47.139
Looking for a fifth birdie
in a six-hole stretch.

21:47.723 --> 21:49.641
[commentator] This to get
to six under par.

21:49.725 --> 21:51.101
[cheering]

21:51.184 --> 21:52.185
[commentator] Bingo.

21:52.269 --> 21:55.647
[commentator 2] There's a ballgame still
brewing here in Atlanta at East Lake.

21:56.148 --> 21:59.568
It's up the hill somewhat,
just very makeable.

21:59.651 --> 22:01.570
[commentator] He wants
to make this so badly.

22:04.197 --> 22:06.867
Got it there this time. Man, what a day.

22:07.367 --> 22:10.245
How about this?
The lead was two to start the day.

22:10.329 --> 22:13.123
It is seven now for Scottie Scheffler.

22:17.044 --> 22:19.629
-Oh, birthday boy.
-Hello. How you doing, sir? [chuckles]

22:20.756 --> 22:22.674
-[woman] Happy birthday.
-Hi there. Hi.

22:23.633 --> 22:25.177
[commentator 2] Theegala is on a roll.

22:25.260 --> 22:28.347
Let's see if he can keep it rolling
here at the ninth.

22:30.057 --> 22:33.435
-Will he have enough to get it there?
-[commentator] Man, this is right at it.

22:33.518 --> 22:35.562
[inspirational music playing]

22:35.645 --> 22:38.648
-[commentator] Oh my gosh.
-[commentator 2] Oh! What a shot!

22:40.525 --> 22:41.860
He's fun to watch.

22:42.569 --> 22:44.362
[Sahith] Every stroke matters, for sure.

22:44.446 --> 22:46.865
When you start a tournament
ten shots back of the lead,

22:46.948 --> 22:49.868
you're not gonna win the tournament
by playing conservative.

22:49.951 --> 22:53.580
You need to go out and catch those guys
that have those stroke advantages.

22:53.663 --> 22:56.583
[commentator 2] You see the line
on this ball, in the middle of the hole.

22:59.711 --> 23:00.545
[crowd] Oh!

23:00.629 --> 23:03.673
[commentator 2] It just wiggled
a little right. Tried to come back left.

23:04.633 --> 23:08.178
He's gonna tap this in
and drop one to 19 under,

23:08.261 --> 23:09.805
with just now a five-shot lead

23:09.888 --> 23:12.557
and the opportunity
to get it a little tighter.

23:13.475 --> 23:16.311
[commentator 3] Hey, Sahith Theegala
just got to 11 under par.

23:16.395 --> 23:20.315
Three straight birdies, 14, 15, and 16.

23:20.399 --> 23:23.402
If he's having fun,
the score is gonna be there.

23:23.485 --> 23:25.987
That's all I care for.
I want him to have fun.

23:26.905 --> 23:28.907
[commentator] Theegala,
this for birdie at 18.

23:31.493 --> 23:33.495
[cheering]

23:38.250 --> 23:43.171
[commentator] Sixty-six today after
that opening four-under round to 12 under,

23:43.255 --> 23:45.257
so seven off the lead.

23:48.176 --> 23:50.262
[indistinct chatter]

23:50.345 --> 23:52.431
-[Juju] Happy birthday!
-You have something for me?

23:52.514 --> 23:54.683
-Oh no. Thank you.
-[Juju] Yes, and a card too.

23:54.766 --> 23:56.518
Thank you very much. Thank you.

24:00.730 --> 24:02.566
-How is it? Spicy?
-[Carl] No.

24:03.233 --> 24:05.402
-I said… I said no spice.
-No spice, okay.

24:05.485 --> 24:07.779
-[Carl] But I like this.
-You like that tomato?

24:07.863 --> 24:10.073
[Sahith] Everyone wants to be
the FedEx Cup champion.

24:10.157 --> 24:11.825
I really feel like I'm in the tournament

24:11.908 --> 24:14.786
'cause the game's definitely
been clicking in the right direction.

24:15.370 --> 24:17.247
-[Carl] That's you?
-[Murli] That's me.

24:17.330 --> 24:19.207
[Carl] You should bring
those glasses back.

24:19.291 --> 24:21.501
-Oh yeah?
-I like those. I like those.

24:22.085 --> 24:23.962
[Sahith] It's gonna be hard
to catch Scottie.

24:24.045 --> 24:26.756
But, you know, we've seen guys give him
a run for his money.

24:26.840 --> 24:29.009
You don't want to put him
on too much of a pedestal.

24:29.676 --> 24:32.846
My mental game is probably the strongest
part of my golf game, to be honest,

24:32.929 --> 24:37.100
but need to sack up and prove it to myself
that, you know, I do belong there.

24:38.560 --> 24:40.812
[solemn music playing]

24:41.605 --> 24:45.275
[commentator] It's a 90-degree
sticky Saturday at East Lake Golf Club.

24:45.358 --> 24:46.610
Two rounds remain.

24:47.819 --> 24:48.945
[Sahith] Good morning, guys.

24:50.030 --> 24:51.990
[suspenseful music playing]

24:56.369 --> 24:59.164
[commentator] And that first bounce went
a little harder than he thought.

24:59.748 --> 25:02.792
This is a big putt for momentum
early in the round.

25:07.756 --> 25:10.091
Oh, he made a tour around the edge.

25:10.175 --> 25:13.553
Scottie's third shot did not check up
the way he expected.

25:14.596 --> 25:16.765
Up on the green, Sahith Theegala.

25:17.891 --> 25:19.518
At the second for birdie.

25:23.021 --> 25:25.857
He got it there and had it read perfectly.

25:25.941 --> 25:30.237
A rare two at the second for Sahith.

25:30.820 --> 25:33.532
Sahith Theegala to stay at 13 under.

25:36.159 --> 25:39.079
[Rapaport] Sahith's off to a solid start.
He gets to the third hole.

25:39.162 --> 25:41.665
He's in a bunker,
but, you know, all good, normal.

25:42.874 --> 25:46.044
-[woman] Whoo!
-Sit! Okay, that's fine. That's fine.

25:46.127 --> 25:48.421
[Rapaport] He hits a shot,
and then we see him walking

25:48.505 --> 25:52.133
right over to a rules official.
And you're like, "What's going on here?"

25:53.301 --> 25:58.598
Uh, I was near a lip, and on my backswing,
I noticed I clipped a piece of sand.

25:59.432 --> 26:03.061
[commentator 2] Sahith, he feels
that he touched the sand on his last hole

26:03.144 --> 26:05.313
when he was taking his backswing.

26:05.397 --> 26:09.609
Now, it is a penalty if you touch the sand
while your ball is in the bunker.

26:09.693 --> 26:11.945
So it's gonna be
a two-shot penalty for him.

26:12.779 --> 26:14.656
[Dethier] Nobody else sees the sand move.

26:14.739 --> 26:18.285
Nobody in person, nobody up close,
nobody watching on TV.

26:18.868 --> 26:21.538
Even when the 4K cameras zoom in,

26:21.621 --> 26:24.624
you can't tell for sure
that any sand moves.

26:25.667 --> 26:29.504
-[commentator 3] I don't see much there.
-[commentator] Clearly above the ball.

26:29.588 --> 26:32.257
[commentator 3] I'd be arguing with Deuce
again when I got done.

26:32.340 --> 26:33.717
"Give me my two shots back."

26:35.010 --> 26:36.303
-Okay.
-[commentator] That stinks.

26:36.386 --> 26:38.638
[commentator 3] You got
a good round, and all of a sudden,

26:38.722 --> 26:41.725
you've gone from 13
to 11 under, just like that.

26:42.309 --> 26:45.020
[commentator] Nine back now of Scheffler.

26:47.897 --> 26:50.984
[Zuël] There has been many greats
of the game of golf in the past

26:51.067 --> 26:54.904
who have been in similar situations
and have not done the same.

26:54.988 --> 26:58.241
To be able to do that
with millions on the line,

26:58.742 --> 27:01.453
that just shows
what kind of a guy Sahith Theegala is.

27:01.536 --> 27:07.000
But for him, you just feel heartbroken
that it's happened now of all times.

27:09.169 --> 27:12.547
[Sahith] I come across as pretty easygoing
and let stuff slip off my shoulders,

27:12.630 --> 27:14.924
but inwardly,
I'm really, really competitive.

27:15.842 --> 27:16.926
I hate losing.

27:17.010 --> 27:19.304
It bothers the hell out of me
when I hit a shitty shot

27:19.387 --> 27:21.514
or… make a stupid mistake.

27:22.724 --> 27:25.101
[Carl] As far as the penalty, yeah,
I mean, it's cost us,

27:25.185 --> 27:27.771
but maybe adds
a little more fuel to the fire.

27:27.854 --> 27:29.648
And we're just gonna keep playing hard.

27:29.731 --> 27:31.816
[tense music playing]

27:32.442 --> 27:33.818
[commentator 2] How about Theegala?

27:34.736 --> 27:36.071
-[commentator] Oh yeah.
-[man] Wow.

27:36.154 --> 27:38.406
-[commentator 2] So well judged.
-[commentator] So good.

27:38.490 --> 27:41.326
Theegala's got a chance
to get into that tie for fourth.

27:41.868 --> 27:42.702
Yes.

27:43.370 --> 27:44.496
Theegala.

27:44.996 --> 27:46.331
For birdie.

27:49.125 --> 27:52.796
Yeah, Sahith moving it to 13 under.

27:53.672 --> 27:55.674
[suspenseful music playing]

27:56.216 --> 27:58.843
-[commentator] They're all going in at 15.
-[commentator 2] For twos.

27:59.344 --> 28:01.262
[commentator] And Theegala
moving up the board.

28:05.725 --> 28:08.395
He is having himself some second nine.

28:08.478 --> 28:10.313
[commentator 2] A shame,
that two-stroke penalty

28:10.397 --> 28:12.399
of him grounding his club
at the third hole.

28:12.482 --> 28:15.276
-He'd be having the round of the day.
-[commentator] What a day, anyway.

28:15.360 --> 28:17.737
[man] Mr. Theegala,
you did the right thing today.

28:18.738 --> 28:20.031
[commentator] Look at Scheffler.

28:20.115 --> 28:23.368
For par, and this putt,
Bones, some 24 feet.

28:23.451 --> 28:25.578
[Bones] I think
this one's got a great chance.

28:29.749 --> 28:31.918
[commentator] Well, Bones, you called it.

28:32.001 --> 28:35.672
[Bones] A bit of a theme this week.
This guy hits quality shot after shot.

28:37.173 --> 28:38.675
-[cheering]
-[commentator] There it is.

28:39.342 --> 28:41.970
Another birdie for good measure
for Scheffler to say,

28:42.053 --> 28:45.515
"We'll see you again tomorrow,
and we'll see if you can hang with me."

28:46.766 --> 28:50.854
Theegala looking to close it out
with five birdies in a row.

28:53.440 --> 28:56.526
Look at that talent.
And look at those hands.

28:56.609 --> 28:58.611
[cheering]

29:01.906 --> 29:05.744
[commentator] He's got the birdie.
How about five in a row to finish the day?

29:05.827 --> 29:10.039
[Bones] How about Theegala coming home
here after calling the penalty on himself?

29:10.832 --> 29:14.669
Fighting his way back
as they all chase this man. Number one.

29:14.753 --> 29:16.546
[commentator] The leader, Scheffler.

29:18.965 --> 29:20.800
[Sahith] As a golfer,
you have this intuition.

29:20.884 --> 29:25.346
And I swear, when I took that club back,
I thought I saw some grains of sand move.

29:25.430 --> 29:28.933
Um, and I… and I stand by it.
I mean, it's an unfortunate rule.

29:29.017 --> 29:32.228
Um, two shots seems like a lot
for a few grains of sand moving,

29:32.312 --> 29:35.064
but there's nothing else to do
but just take it on the chin.

29:35.148 --> 29:38.026
And those two shots,
just try to get those two back.

29:38.109 --> 29:40.403
[reporter] Would you sleep badly
if you hadn't called it?

29:40.987 --> 29:44.491
Oh, I wouldn't be able to sleep
'cause it was sitting in my mind, right?

29:44.574 --> 29:47.035
If I went back after the round,
looked that up,

29:47.118 --> 29:50.872
found out that it was a two-shot penalty,
I'd be DQ'd right now.

29:50.955 --> 29:53.625
-It's all good.
-Somebody would have saw it on TV.

29:53.708 --> 29:55.084
Yeah. Yeah.

29:55.960 --> 29:56.920
[man] Sahith, thank you.

29:57.003 --> 30:00.381
[Murli] I think, as a person, he's
very honest, the way he plays the game.

30:00.465 --> 30:03.009
I think doing the right thing
is important.

30:03.593 --> 30:07.013
At the end of the day,
I think when he said rightly that,

30:07.096 --> 30:08.223
"I couldn't have slept."

30:08.848 --> 30:09.933
I watched in the video.

30:10.016 --> 30:12.936
It didn't look like it,
but I'm proud of what he did, yeah.

30:18.107 --> 30:20.693
[Carl] So I was going through Twitter,
and everyone's saying,

30:20.777 --> 30:25.156
"We were already big Sahith fans before
and even more so now."

30:25.949 --> 30:29.702
As far as being the right thing
to call the penalty on himself or not,

30:29.786 --> 30:31.120
I'm a big believer in karma.

30:31.204 --> 30:33.248
And I think that leaves, you know,

30:33.331 --> 30:36.668
potentially something exciting
in store for us.

30:37.627 --> 30:40.046
[commentator] The FedEx Cup season
has been whittled down

30:40.129 --> 30:41.881
to this one final round

30:41.965 --> 30:44.634
for the chance to win
the richest prize in the sport.

30:44.717 --> 30:47.679
[Scott] ♪ It's the final countdown ♪

30:47.762 --> 30:49.264
[humming]

30:49.931 --> 30:55.103
Oh my God. I can't wait to get home
and watch football on the couch.

30:55.687 --> 30:57.522
[commentator] It all comes down to this.

30:57.605 --> 31:00.233
Scottie Scheffler
with that five-shot lead.

31:02.777 --> 31:03.903
[man] Scottie!

31:05.154 --> 31:08.199
[commentator 2] The way Scottie's playing,
he's gotta feel in the driver's seat.

31:08.283 --> 31:11.411
But just two short years ago, he stood
on that first tee with a six-shot lead,

31:11.494 --> 31:15.164
only to go on to lose it to Rory McIlroy.
So it can happen fast.

31:15.248 --> 31:18.501
Scottie's gotta stay in the present
and keep doing what he's been doing.

31:18.585 --> 31:21.170
[commentator] Up ahead to three.
Theegala on the tee.

31:23.923 --> 31:24.799
Huge now.

31:25.383 --> 31:26.593
That's a nice approach.

31:26.676 --> 31:29.137
This is the hole
he had the penalty on yesterday.

31:30.430 --> 31:32.932
Theegala to get it to 18 under.

31:34.475 --> 31:35.518
And does.

31:35.602 --> 31:36.686
[cheering and applause]

31:36.769 --> 31:39.439
Gonna have to make
a whole lot more of those here

31:39.522 --> 31:42.775
to pose any kind of threat
to the number one player in the world.

31:42.859 --> 31:45.528
[commentator 2] Scheffler wastes no time.
Steps right up.

31:45.612 --> 31:46.738
[man yells]

31:48.364 --> 31:52.910
[commentator 2] No, not messing with
that water. And comes back down, so…

31:57.415 --> 31:59.292
-Uh-oh. Shanked it.
-[commentator 3] Shanked it.

32:01.377 --> 32:02.629
[commentator 2] Unbelievable.

32:03.129 --> 32:05.423
[commentator 3] He's got
an incredibly difficult shot now.

32:05.506 --> 32:08.134
But of course,
he's got to shake off what just happened.

32:08.635 --> 32:12.055
[commentator] And this TOUR Championship
just got game on.

32:12.764 --> 32:15.141
[commentator 4] You can see it
in his body language right now,

32:15.224 --> 32:16.517
he is shaken up.

32:17.018 --> 32:19.896
Not a bad time for Ted Scott
to potentially step in here

32:19.979 --> 32:21.648
and have his man hit reset.

32:22.523 --> 32:24.943
Caddies are the only other
one on the golf course

32:25.026 --> 32:26.110
that is rooting for you.

32:26.194 --> 32:29.697
They have to know what to say,
when to say it.

32:29.781 --> 32:31.157
Sometimes, it's telling a joke.

32:31.240 --> 32:33.451
And sometimes,
it's kicking your guy in the butt.

32:33.534 --> 32:35.870
There's some guys that are
a little better at it than others.

32:36.371 --> 32:38.122
[Ted] All right. Show me those hands.

32:38.206 --> 32:40.041
It's what you do, buddy. Come on.

32:40.124 --> 32:42.543
[commentator] The soothing sounds
of Ted Scott.

32:44.170 --> 32:46.047
[commentator 2] Well short
of where he needed it.

32:46.547 --> 32:48.216
[applause]

32:49.175 --> 32:51.177
[tense music playing]

32:54.931 --> 32:55.974
[crowd] Oh!

32:56.975 --> 32:59.852
[commentator] Things just got
incredibly more interesting.

32:59.936 --> 33:03.064
Once a seven-shot lead is now down to two.

33:04.983 --> 33:06.985
[applause]

33:10.238 --> 33:11.197
[man] Fore!

33:12.824 --> 33:16.744
[commentator] Theegala suddenly has
a very real opportunity here.

33:16.828 --> 33:19.539
[commentator 2] Slick one
down the hill here, feeding left.

33:19.622 --> 33:20.790
[crowd] Oh!

33:21.666 --> 33:22.917
[Ted] It's not a fair game.

33:23.001 --> 33:25.837
You can hit the ball
down the middle and end up in a divot.

33:25.920 --> 33:27.505
Some of these guys get very frustrated.

33:27.588 --> 33:29.757
I think just having someone to say,

33:29.841 --> 33:33.136
"Hey, let's just change our attitude
a little bit and see what happens."

33:33.219 --> 33:35.096
That's one
of the coolest things about Scottie

33:35.179 --> 33:38.141
is he's so willing to hear
from people on his team.

33:38.224 --> 33:41.102
And I think that's one of the reasons
why he's so special.

33:42.020 --> 33:43.646
[commentator 3] Very good sound here.

33:43.730 --> 33:45.940
[commentator 2] Know what
the scariest shot in golf is?

33:46.024 --> 33:48.276
The next shot you hit after a shank.

33:50.278 --> 33:53.740
I'd love to know what Ted Scott
just said to Scottie Scheffler.

33:54.615 --> 33:55.867
[commentator] Birdie at the 9th.

33:57.910 --> 33:59.328
Back-to-back birdies.

33:59.412 --> 34:01.247
That is impressive.

34:02.665 --> 34:03.791
Three in a row!

34:04.292 --> 34:07.503
[commentator 2] Ball is on its way.
Lots of pace making its way to the cup.

34:07.587 --> 34:08.421
He made it!

34:08.504 --> 34:12.675
And a fist pump from Scottie Scheffler.
A huge eagle.

34:12.759 --> 34:16.429
[commentator] Eagle at the 14th.
The only one today.

34:18.431 --> 34:20.433
[suspenseful music playing]

34:23.603 --> 34:25.271
[commentator 3] Got right underneath it.

34:26.063 --> 34:30.151
[commentator] He's got those great hands
but just didn't work out that time.

34:30.234 --> 34:31.819
[commentator 3] Lucky for it to stay.

34:39.577 --> 34:44.791
[commentator] That's tracking. Oh man!
What an end to Theegala's week!

34:46.417 --> 34:48.753
[Murli] Oh, you! Good seeing you, man.
Good seeing you.

34:48.836 --> 34:53.091
[commentator] There is near
83 million dollars in a payout this week.

34:53.174 --> 34:57.637
As of now, that two-shot penalty
that Sahith called on himself

34:57.720 --> 34:59.764
cost him about two and a half million.

35:03.392 --> 35:05.728
-Great season. Proud of you.
-Thank you so much.

35:05.812 --> 35:07.355
For many, many reasons.

35:07.438 --> 35:08.773
Thank you very much.

35:08.856 --> 35:09.857
Thank you.

35:09.941 --> 35:11.943
[Murli] Great job. What a finish.

35:18.032 --> 35:20.493
-Watch Scottie win.
-He's a little hopped up.

35:21.160 --> 35:22.745
Let's go up the stairs.

35:22.829 --> 35:24.372
[Juju] Oh, wait. How are you…

35:24.914 --> 35:27.458
-I'll see you in Napa?
-[Juju] Okay, see you… Napa?

35:27.542 --> 35:29.544
-[Sahith] I wanna just escape. You know?
-Huh?

35:29.627 --> 35:31.754
[Sahith] I kinda of wanna just escape.

35:31.838 --> 35:33.840
[dramatic music playing]

35:40.763 --> 35:44.392
[commentator] The man that came in here,
the number one position,

35:44.475 --> 35:47.228
not able to do it the previous two years,

35:47.311 --> 35:49.939
is about ready to answer
all the questions.

35:51.566 --> 35:52.859
[cheering and applause]

35:54.443 --> 35:59.782
[commentator] One of the all-time seasons
for Scottie Scheffler.

36:00.950 --> 36:02.493
Takes it all.

36:04.495 --> 36:06.664
[uplifting music playing]

36:06.747 --> 36:09.584
That has to feel the best.

36:17.592 --> 36:19.260
Way to go, Daddy!

36:19.343 --> 36:21.345
[cheering and applause]

36:22.930 --> 36:24.432
[baby cries]

36:26.309 --> 36:28.561
[Meredith] Let's go inside!

36:30.813 --> 36:32.940
[man] Congratulations, Scottie!

36:38.070 --> 36:40.489
-[Sahith] The rules got… three mil.
-Yeah.

36:41.073 --> 36:43.492
-Three mil for the rules.
-That'll cost you.

36:43.576 --> 36:44.410
[Sahith] Aw.

36:44.493 --> 36:47.288
It's so tough. Three mil, right?

36:47.371 --> 36:49.749
[man] If you cheat,
you won't be able to sleep.

36:50.374 --> 36:53.794
-Oh, I don't think he cheated.
-[man] But I don't think you did.

36:54.879 --> 36:58.716
I seriously keep looking at that video,
and I don't see it.

36:58.799 --> 37:00.885
-[Carl] I don't see it either.
-We'll never know.

37:00.968 --> 37:03.054
-See you soon.
-[Sahith] Sounds good, Jesse. Thank you.

37:03.137 --> 37:04.597
-[Jesse] Yeah.
-I appreciate you guys.

37:04.680 --> 37:06.557
-[Jesse] Very good year.
-[man] Appreciate you.

37:06.641 --> 37:07.850
-[Sahith] Thanks.
-Good playing.

37:08.434 --> 37:10.269
-[man] See you next year.
-[man 2] Pleasure.

37:10.353 --> 37:11.312
[man] Yes.

37:11.395 --> 37:12.396
[Sahith] Hopefully.

37:13.606 --> 37:14.440
See you.

37:15.274 --> 37:16.567
[announcer] Now for our champion.

37:17.318 --> 37:20.655
Scottie, you are a tremendous ambassador
for the game of golf.

37:20.738 --> 37:23.574
You're a tremendous ambassador
for the PGA TOUR.

37:24.075 --> 37:26.452
The most important development
in your life is the fact

37:26.535 --> 37:28.913
that you and Meredith
became parents this year.

37:31.082 --> 37:33.918
So, by any objective measure,

37:34.001 --> 37:36.754
the year that you've had
is simply stunning.

37:37.463 --> 37:41.842
Ladies and gentlemen,
your 2024 FedEx Cup champion,

37:41.926 --> 37:43.135
Scottie Scheffler.

37:45.930 --> 37:48.933
[Scottie] This is my 25th season
in the era of golf

37:49.016 --> 37:52.687
with so many great competitors
and so many people working hard,

37:53.396 --> 37:54.522
turning over every leaf.

37:54.605 --> 37:58.442
I don't think people realize
that a year like this was possible.

37:59.610 --> 38:01.153
Got a front-row seat to greatness.

38:01.237 --> 38:04.115
And I don't even know why
he chose me as his caddie, you know?

38:04.907 --> 38:06.325
I enjoy coming to work.

38:06.826 --> 38:10.246
Wins and losses don't really change that.
I just love being around him.

38:10.329 --> 38:12.206
Works hard, you know, great character.

38:12.290 --> 38:16.043
And this is what we call lagniappe
'cause I'm from Louisiana. So it's extra.

38:17.211 --> 38:18.879
[man] There you go. Can you guys…

38:20.131 --> 38:21.215
Over here, guys!

38:26.304 --> 38:28.556
[Rapaport] The Olympics is gaining
more importance in golf.

38:28.639 --> 38:30.433
All the guys wanna go play.

38:30.516 --> 38:31.892
Min Woo Lee is the 25-year-old

38:31.976 --> 38:34.395
who everyone's expecting
to take that leap this year.

38:34.478 --> 38:38.274
Representing Australia would be probably
the biggest achievement in my life.

38:38.357 --> 38:41.736
But how special would it be
to play an Olympics alongside your sister?

38:42.486 --> 38:44.196
[Min Woo] We all wanna be gold medalists,

38:44.280 --> 38:47.158
but there's gonna be pressures
about making this team.

38:47.241 --> 38:49.618
[Dethier] And Wyndham Clark
is right on the cusp.

38:49.702 --> 38:53.080
I'm hoping I can go and represent
my country on that podium.

38:53.164 --> 38:55.958
It's an opportunity I'm hoping
I take advantage of.

38:56.459 --> 38:58.044
[commentator] Unbelievable!

39:02.006 --> 39:03.924
[dramatic music playing]

39:59.522 --> 40:01.357
[music fades]
c playing]
