WEBVTT

00:06.005 --> 00:08.007
[suspenseful music playing]

00:13.596 --> 00:15.515
[commentator] Just about a mile
from the Atlantic,

00:15.598 --> 00:17.726
it is that time in the golf calendar

00:17.809 --> 00:21.146
for the annual visit
to the PLAYERS Stadium Course

00:21.229 --> 00:27.902
at TPC Sawgrass here in Ponte Vedra Beach
with the 51st edition of The PLAYERS.

00:31.364 --> 00:33.074
[Tom] I'm having a bad hair day.

00:33.908 --> 00:37.954
I didn't get to dry my hair,
so it's, like, all coming down and…

00:38.705 --> 00:39.789
[man] No hat?

00:41.499 --> 00:42.876
I don't wanna get bald.

00:42.959 --> 00:44.169
[chuckles]

00:48.047 --> 00:52.177
[Joel] PLAYERS Championship, it's a major.
There's a lot of points. A lot of money.

00:52.260 --> 00:54.929
-[boy speaking Spanish]
-[Camilo speaking Spanish]

00:57.724 --> 00:59.517
[Justin] I've had
some really good rounds here

00:59.601 --> 01:02.270
and gone really low now
a handful of times, I think,

01:02.353 --> 01:04.397
so I know how to do it. [chuckles]

01:04.481 --> 01:06.399
It's just sometimes doing it.

01:06.483 --> 01:07.484
[hits golf ball]

01:07.567 --> 01:08.860
That's beautiful.

01:09.569 --> 01:13.782
-[Will] That's where you wanted, right?
-Exactly where I just said to hit it.

01:13.865 --> 01:17.035
-[Will] All right.
-I told him to exactly hit it right there.

01:17.118 --> 01:18.703
Like, literally right where the ball is.

01:19.204 --> 01:21.206
[dramatic music playing]

01:25.001 --> 01:27.921
[woman] How would you describe this season
in one word?

01:28.505 --> 01:29.547
[clicks tongue]

01:30.548 --> 01:31.382
Uh… [sighs]

01:31.466 --> 01:32.759
[cheering]

01:34.761 --> 01:35.595
[clicks tongue]

01:36.179 --> 01:37.180
Let me think.

01:37.263 --> 01:38.223
[cheering]

01:41.559 --> 01:44.020
[chuckles] Yeah, I'd say, um…

01:44.104 --> 01:45.271
[laughs]

01:49.025 --> 01:50.860
[blows raspberry] I, uh…

01:51.486 --> 01:52.445
Um…

01:56.199 --> 01:57.158
Mmm.

01:58.034 --> 02:01.454
I would describe the 2025 golf season

02:01.538 --> 02:03.373
as electric.

02:03.456 --> 02:06.376
Let's go, baby. Full Swing season 4!

02:06.459 --> 02:07.836
Netflix are back!

02:08.419 --> 02:09.420
Woo-hoo!

02:10.755 --> 02:14.592
I'm well aware of the story that's
building of "not won on the PGA TOUR."

02:14.676 --> 02:17.011
And I've had these chances
and haven't closed things out.

02:17.095 --> 02:18.054
He's Mr. Nice Guy,

02:18.138 --> 02:21.683
but I think you have to be, like, a bit of
a killer in you, and I think he has that.

02:22.642 --> 02:23.476
[J.J.] I'm on a roll.

02:23.560 --> 02:27.730
Growing up in Southern California,
it was all skateboarding, surfing, beach.

02:27.814 --> 02:30.650
-I was trying to hide that I was a golfer.
-[Sean] Me too!

02:31.734 --> 02:32.735
[J.J.] I'm a late bloomer.

02:33.903 --> 02:37.282
I've used that as fuel
to prove people wrong.

02:37.365 --> 02:38.283
Let's go.

02:38.783 --> 02:39.993
[J.J.] Let's go!

02:40.577 --> 02:43.371
In big moments,
either in the airplane or in golf…

02:43.454 --> 02:44.372
Clear.

02:44.455 --> 02:47.125
…I can't think of anything else
except what I'm doing.

02:48.084 --> 02:49.961
[Dethier] Performing in the majors
is everything.

02:50.044 --> 02:52.422
And for whatever reason,
that's eluded him.

02:52.505 --> 02:55.717
-When the blowout's coming, there's no…
-Cut!

02:56.426 --> 02:58.469
[Balionis] If you're a player
trying to make it,

02:58.553 --> 03:01.222
it can be a really, really difficult path.

03:01.306 --> 03:04.100
[Ben] I was losing too much money.
I had $17,000 in credit card debt.

03:04.184 --> 03:06.102
I needed to step away.

03:09.189 --> 03:10.648
Sorry for the emotions. [chuckles]

03:10.732 --> 03:11.566
[cheering]

03:11.649 --> 03:15.069
[Balionis] We saw hearts broken,
history made.

03:16.779 --> 03:21.743
The culmination of the most anticipated
team event in the world of golf.

03:21.826 --> 03:23.995
-We got this. We got this.
-[chanting] USA!

03:24.078 --> 03:26.372
-Bring it home, boys!
-[cheering]

03:26.456 --> 03:28.124
[whistles] Let's go!

03:28.208 --> 03:31.669
[Keegan] They've come into this arena.
They have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

03:31.753 --> 03:33.588
[Banks] The fans
started to get aggressive.

03:34.589 --> 03:36.007
They started to get personal.

03:36.090 --> 03:38.927
-[man] You're still gonna choke!
-[man 2] Get a haircut, Tommy!

03:39.010 --> 03:41.971
Tensions can rise at any given time
in a Ryder Cup.

03:42.055 --> 03:45.016
[commentator] It's just a combustible
situation out here right now.

03:45.099 --> 03:46.684
[commentator 2] It's gotten heated.

03:46.768 --> 03:47.810
Whoa!

03:48.603 --> 03:49.729
Crazy.

03:49.812 --> 03:52.398
It's a way more difficult life
than what people may think.

03:53.274 --> 03:57.028
I have enough self-awareness
to know it's not absolutely everything.

03:57.820 --> 04:00.156
It's something I'll be talking about
for the rest of my life.

04:00.239 --> 04:03.243
I'm trying to put this behind me,
but it's impossible.

04:03.952 --> 04:06.120
It doesn't matter where you came from.

04:06.204 --> 04:07.664
It's about what you can do.

04:08.748 --> 04:11.668
[commentator] Finally! For everything!

04:12.418 --> 04:15.421
You're gonna be an old man and
won't wanna tell your kids you missed it.

04:15.505 --> 04:17.507
[dramatic music playing]

04:25.515 --> 04:26.641
[music fades]

04:28.726 --> 04:31.646
[commentator] And you've got
world number two here

04:32.939 --> 04:34.774
just a few moments away here

04:34.857 --> 04:38.861
from officially closing out
his second PLAYERS title.

04:39.737 --> 04:45.868
McIlroy setting the stage
for what could be a monster 2025.

04:46.744 --> 04:48.746
[suspenseful music playing]

04:48.830 --> 04:50.331
[cheering]

04:50.415 --> 04:53.293
And McIlroy's got another PLAYERS title.

04:57.505 --> 05:01.342
[Rory] Unbelievably proud and happy
to win my second PLAYERS Championship.

05:01.426 --> 05:03.970
And this is the third time
I've won on St. Patrick's Day,

05:04.053 --> 05:05.805
so it's been a good luck charm for me.

05:05.888 --> 05:08.641
[reporter] Two wins before April.
Congratulations, Rory McIlroy.

05:08.725 --> 05:10.393
-Thank you.
-[cheering]

05:12.770 --> 05:15.732
You know, I've been going for a long time.
I've played well for a long time,

05:15.815 --> 05:19.527
and it's always nice to start the year
with that sort of momentum.

05:19.610 --> 05:21.738
-[woman] It's still nice and cold. Enjoy.
-Thank you.

05:21.821 --> 05:23.656
It's an exclusive club,

05:23.740 --> 05:26.576
and you've made it even more exclusive
by winning your second one.

05:27.160 --> 05:27.994
Thank you.

05:28.077 --> 05:30.288
-You earned it. Don't thank me. [laughs]
-Well… well…

05:31.205 --> 05:33.624
[Banks] To see Rory McIlroy
come out of the blocks in 2025

05:33.708 --> 05:37.628
and have success so early on
in the PGA TOUR schedule

05:37.712 --> 05:42.133
was a huge sign that he is in good form,
in good spirits,

05:42.216 --> 05:45.970
and playing the kind of golf that might
lead him to winning the Masters in 2025.

05:46.054 --> 05:48.681
-Congrats again. Awesome.
-This is the year for April too.

05:48.765 --> 05:49.599
[Rory] Absolutely.

05:54.896 --> 05:56.356
[Rory] Uh, okay.

05:57.482 --> 05:58.900
Golf balls.

06:00.860 --> 06:01.944
Golf gloves.

06:03.654 --> 06:04.822
Golf shoes.

06:05.990 --> 06:08.993
[Balionis] TGL is a newer team event

06:09.077 --> 06:11.496
founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

06:11.579 --> 06:13.081
[cheering]

06:13.164 --> 06:14.665
[announcer] Tonight's matchup,

06:14.749 --> 06:19.378
Boston Common Golf
versus Atlanta Drive GC.

06:19.462 --> 06:23.424
[Balionis] Players are assigned to cities,
and they're competing in this dome.

06:24.509 --> 06:26.969
Part of it is on a simulator,

06:27.470 --> 06:31.808
and the other part
is live in front of an audience.

06:31.891 --> 06:33.059
Yes!

06:34.060 --> 06:35.561
[Rory] I am a traditionalist,

06:35.645 --> 06:38.356
and I appreciate the history of the game
and all that stuff,

06:38.439 --> 06:42.235
but if we want to get more people
to play the game of golf,

06:42.985 --> 06:46.364
you need to have it more modern facing.

06:47.698 --> 06:49.992
There's some fun team play
in there as well,

06:50.076 --> 06:53.579
which will be a departure
from what we do week in, week out.

06:57.417 --> 06:58.251
[Keegan] Hey!

06:59.252 --> 07:00.878
It's fun being partners
with Rory for once.

07:00.962 --> 07:02.713
I'm normally always playing against him.

07:02.797 --> 07:04.715
How are ya? Tense, yeah? [chuckles]

07:04.799 --> 07:07.176
[Keegan] Rory and I
have known each other forever

07:07.260 --> 07:11.013
and, you know, he lives in the same town
I do. Played a lot of golf with him.

07:11.097 --> 07:12.974
"Favorite pro to be paired with and why?"

07:13.057 --> 07:16.227
Rory. He's my teammate.
Boston Common Frogs, baby.

07:16.811 --> 07:19.063
"Last pro golfer I texted?"

07:19.147 --> 07:21.774
This guy. [laughs]

07:21.858 --> 07:25.278
[Keegan] He's very easy to talk to.
It's really a fun thing for us.

07:25.862 --> 07:27.321
[Keegan] Just keep it on the green.

07:27.405 --> 07:29.157
-Yeah. Okay, that's easy.
-Yeah.

07:29.240 --> 07:31.951
-That usually works on most holes.
-Yeah. [laughs]

07:35.371 --> 07:38.416
I was talking on the way here.
The pressure of the Masters in general is…

07:38.499 --> 07:40.877
Yeah. It doesn't feel
like a normal tournament week.

07:40.960 --> 07:44.255
So, what can we do to make it feel
like a normal tournament week?

07:44.338 --> 07:45.548
I mean, the… Yeah.

07:45.631 --> 07:49.760
I can't imagine sort of the pressure
that you have with that.

07:50.511 --> 07:52.805
[Keegan] It's a big year. Eventful year.

07:53.472 --> 07:56.100
[Rory] You know,
once the Ryder Cup year comes along,

07:56.184 --> 07:58.978
the majors are the majors,
but, you know, not far behind,

07:59.061 --> 08:00.813
you know the Ryder Cup is right there.

08:02.982 --> 08:05.693
What have you got this week? Anything?

08:05.776 --> 08:08.321
-I'm gonna take a couple of days off.
-[Rory] Okay, good.

08:08.404 --> 08:10.156
-You'll feel so much better for it.
-Yeah.

08:10.740 --> 08:12.700
You know, my role on the Boston Common

08:12.783 --> 08:16.496
is much different than my role
on the Ryder Cup.

08:17.538 --> 08:19.290
Plus, we're two weeks off before a major.

08:19.373 --> 08:21.918
-I don't wanna get going too early on.
-Yeah, I know.

08:22.001 --> 08:25.046
[Keegan] Rory and I
are… are not talking about the Ryder Cup.

08:25.129 --> 08:28.549
What I'm gonna do or what he's doing
or what Europe's doing.

08:28.633 --> 08:31.552
[Dethier] Keegan and Rory
may not be talking about the Ryder Cup,

08:31.636 --> 08:33.596
but they don't really need to.

08:33.679 --> 08:38.684
It's pretty clear exactly
what their Ryder Cup ambitions are.

08:38.768 --> 08:44.023
I've said this for the last probably six
or seven years to anyone that will listen.

08:44.106 --> 08:46.442
I think one of the biggest accomplishments
in golf right now

08:46.526 --> 08:47.902
is winning an away Ryder Cup.

08:47.985 --> 08:49.779
And that's
what we're gonna do at Bethpage.

08:49.862 --> 08:50.905
[reporter] Go on, Rory.

08:52.949 --> 08:55.326
I'm so honored
to be the leader of this team,

08:55.409 --> 09:00.081
and I'm going to Bethpage
to win the Ryder Cup back for America.

09:00.748 --> 09:02.750
[suspenseful music playing]

09:04.126 --> 09:05.086
[music fades]

09:06.420 --> 09:09.632
[Keegan] If you hit that white pole,
I'll jump in the water right here.

09:10.675 --> 09:12.426
-If I hit one of those…
-[woman] Hit it.

09:12.510 --> 09:14.470
[whispers] I'll give you
one of my dollars.

09:14.554 --> 09:16.472
-What?
-I'll give you one of my dollars.

09:16.555 --> 09:18.641
You'll give me one of your dollars?

09:19.809 --> 09:21.018
Here, use this one.

09:23.062 --> 09:24.814
-Oh!
-Ooh! You got it!

09:24.897 --> 09:27.942
Give me one of them dollars!
Give me one of them dollars!

09:28.025 --> 09:28.901
What?!

09:28.985 --> 09:30.361
-Two?
-[Keegan chuckles]

09:30.444 --> 09:32.238
[Jillian] Wow, okay.

09:32.321 --> 09:33.823
[Keegan grunts]

09:36.659 --> 09:39.620
[Keegan] When they called me
to be the captain of the Ryder Cup team,

09:39.704 --> 09:40.997
uh, it took me by surprise.

09:41.747 --> 09:43.833
It's pretty neat to experience something

09:43.916 --> 09:46.377
that not a lot of people in this sport
has ever experienced.

09:46.877 --> 09:48.671
Are you really
giving your Pritch card to Mama?

09:48.754 --> 09:50.631
But you have to give me a full pack.

09:50.715 --> 09:51.799
Oh!

09:52.300 --> 09:54.302
That's a pretty good… That's a deal.

09:54.802 --> 09:56.846
[Balionis] Pretty much everything
about Keegan Bradley

09:56.929 --> 09:59.557
being named captain for Team USA

09:59.640 --> 10:02.184
was unique and unprecedented.

10:02.268 --> 10:03.352
Let me see this.

10:04.228 --> 10:08.649
[Keegan] It's a really strange thing
because I love this tournament so much,

10:08.733 --> 10:11.819
but it's been just so awful to me
my whole life.

10:13.279 --> 10:15.656
And I have these incredible memories,

10:15.740 --> 10:18.826
but I also have probably my worst memories
of my golf career.

10:20.369 --> 10:22.371
[indistinct chatter]

10:23.748 --> 10:27.001
[commentator] Keegan Bradley
to keep the match alive.

10:27.501 --> 10:29.503
No, sir. It's another point for Europe.

10:29.587 --> 10:32.798
McIlroy wins 2&1.
The first loss for Keegan Bradley.

10:33.299 --> 10:35.259
[commentator 2] Bradley for birdie
to win the hole.

10:35.343 --> 10:36.302
[crowd] Oh!

10:36.385 --> 10:41.515
We have a very complicated relationship
with the Ryder Cup.

10:41.599 --> 10:42.558
[cheering]

10:44.560 --> 10:50.858
[Jillian] It's brought our family
so much heartbreak and anguish.

10:51.400 --> 10:53.611
[Zach] There's no easy way
to say this, my friend.

10:55.363 --> 10:58.324
I find it just best
to go in a different direction this year.

10:58.407 --> 11:00.242
[Jillian] I didn't know it was coming,

11:00.326 --> 11:06.248
and all of a sudden, bam, like,
"Here's your job," and it is so heavy.

11:08.709 --> 11:13.381
But also I'm just so grateful and humbled

11:13.464 --> 11:19.762
to even be a part of the Ryder Cup
at this level.

11:20.513 --> 11:25.017
These teams, they're connections
that last a lifetime.

11:25.601 --> 11:27.603
[Cooper] Here I come!

11:28.688 --> 11:30.856
Here I come.

11:32.108 --> 11:36.570
The Ryder Cup announcement really
threw our world into, like, hyperdrive.

11:36.654 --> 11:40.116
-[Jillian] It's still not leveled out.
-So, like, we were…

11:40.699 --> 11:42.159
Especially after last year.

11:42.243 --> 11:44.745
I didn't know if I'd ever get
to do this again. I didn't know.

11:44.829 --> 11:47.915
Yeah, I kind of grieved that, too,
in a way, of just like…

11:47.998 --> 11:49.208
-[Keegan] It was sad.
-Yeah.

11:49.291 --> 11:51.585
-[Keegan] It was really sad.
-I couldn't even watch him for…

11:51.669 --> 11:55.673
I wouldn't look at any of the pictures,
just 'cause it kind of stung.

11:55.756 --> 11:56.757
[Keegan] For sure.

11:57.299 --> 11:59.468
I definitely have nerves 'cause it's just…

11:59.552 --> 12:04.557
I look up so much to, you know,
the Tabitha Furyks and the Kim Johnsons,

12:04.640 --> 12:09.812
and I have to kind of step up
and be that… that kind of leader,

12:09.895 --> 12:12.523
which… which is scary.

12:12.606 --> 12:15.401
I feel like,
in every aspect of my life now,

12:15.484 --> 12:17.278
I have to be the captain
of the Ryder Cup team.

12:17.361 --> 12:20.573
[Jillian] Yeah, it doesn't…
You can't compartmentalize at all.

12:21.157 --> 12:23.701
[Keegan] Leading into the Masters,
now in the back of my mind,

12:23.784 --> 12:24.827
I have my real day job here

12:24.910 --> 12:27.788
where I'm trying to win majors,
be one of the best in the world.

12:28.372 --> 12:34.128
I feel as though I need to act and be
the captain of the US Ryder Cup team.

12:34.211 --> 12:35.629
I think it'll be great.

12:37.339 --> 12:40.050
And I get to pick out outfits,
so that's fun. [chuckles]

12:42.511 --> 12:45.598
[Rapaport] Keegan's heading into
the Masters looking to make some history,

12:45.681 --> 12:48.559
but other players are just hoping
they don't repeat it.

12:49.769 --> 12:51.020
[man] All right, Rors.

12:51.520 --> 12:52.563
Let's talk a bit

12:52.646 --> 12:55.483
about this upcoming golf tournament
called the Masters.

12:55.566 --> 12:56.692
[chuckles]

12:56.776 --> 12:58.903
[Ahmed] Here's a list
of people you probably hear often.

12:58.986 --> 13:03.073
Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player,
Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.

13:03.157 --> 13:03.991
Yes.

13:04.492 --> 13:06.076
What's that group got in common?

13:06.160 --> 13:08.954
They have all won
what is called the career Grand Slam.

13:10.498 --> 13:13.626
[Balionis] The career Grand Slam
is winning all four majors,

13:13.709 --> 13:18.506
which has only been done five times
in the history of the game.

13:19.507 --> 13:24.845
It's almost hard to put into perspective
because it is truly historic.

13:26.847 --> 13:30.559
[commentator] An unreal performance
from Rory McIlroy.

13:30.643 --> 13:33.103
[Rapaport] Rory won three
of the four majors in short order.

13:33.187 --> 13:36.565
[announcer] Champion golfer of the year
is Rory McIlroy.

13:36.649 --> 13:37.691
[cheering and applause]

13:37.775 --> 13:42.446
[Rapaport] But the remaining one has
proven itself to be frustratingly elusive.

13:42.530 --> 13:44.532
[commentator] One would think
it's probably not long

13:44.615 --> 13:47.701
before he adds the US Masters
to his collection.

13:47.785 --> 13:50.204
[Rapaport] A lot of guys have gotten
to three legs out of four.

13:50.287 --> 13:53.749
But to win all four, it makes you
truly a legend of the game.

13:53.833 --> 13:56.836
You win the career Grand Slam,
you are in a different category.

13:56.919 --> 13:59.046
You're one
of the all-time, all-time greats.

14:00.631 --> 14:04.593
[Balionis] For years, this has been
the dominant storyline.

14:04.677 --> 14:07.471
Can Rory McIlroy
win the Masters? That's it.

14:07.555 --> 14:09.557
[suspenseful music playing]

14:10.766 --> 14:14.812
[commentator] Here is
the arrival of Rory McIlroy.

14:15.479 --> 14:19.900
[Banks] Really, you got to go back to 2011
and what happened in that final round.

14:19.984 --> 14:22.444
[Balionis] Everyone had pretty much
already anointed him

14:22.528 --> 14:24.405
as that year's Masters champion.

14:25.197 --> 14:26.240
And it all unraveled.

14:28.492 --> 14:30.035
[commentator] And now, Rory, look out.

14:30.119 --> 14:31.662
[Rory] Is that out of bounds over there?

14:31.745 --> 14:32.580
[commentator 2] What?

14:33.163 --> 14:36.333
[commentator] Now, have you ever seen
anyone anywhere close to this on 10?

14:36.417 --> 14:37.459
[commentator 2] Never.

14:39.169 --> 14:40.880
[commentator] Fourth shot.

14:40.963 --> 14:42.172
Little tree.

14:42.256 --> 14:43.799
-And that hit it.
-[crowd] Oh!

14:43.882 --> 14:47.219
[commentator] And he falls from first
to seventh in one hole.

14:47.803 --> 14:53.392
I think that was something that he has
been trying to recover from since then.

14:53.475 --> 14:56.478
People really want to see you
clinch that career Grand Slam.

14:56.562 --> 14:58.105
[reporter] You mentioned the Grand Slam.

14:58.188 --> 15:00.482
[reporter 2] Wondering
where that Grand Slam is.

15:00.566 --> 15:02.818
[Rory] Would've loved to have done it
at this point.

15:03.694 --> 15:08.157
[commentator] Another disappointing
Sunday afternoon for Rory at Augusta.

15:08.741 --> 15:10.200
But it's not from a lack of trying.

15:10.284 --> 15:13.662
[commentator] It's gotta be awfully
difficult for Rory to leave Augusta

15:13.746 --> 15:17.416
for the tenth consecutive time with
a chance to win the career Grand Slam.

15:19.126 --> 15:23.923
It's an amazing opportunity to… to join
that list that you mentioned there,

15:24.006 --> 15:26.884
with Tiger and Jack and Gary
and Gene Sarazen and Ben Hogan.

15:26.967 --> 15:32.264
I mean, just, like, these mythical figures
in the game of golf, um, you know.

15:32.348 --> 15:36.018
And if I were able to join them,
that would be absolutely incredible,

15:36.101 --> 15:37.102
and I feel like this year

15:37.186 --> 15:40.648
I've got just as good of a chance
as I've had any of the other years.

15:40.731 --> 15:42.358
So I'm… I'm excited for it.

15:42.441 --> 15:44.443
[uplifting music playing]

15:46.320 --> 15:48.864
[commentator] We welcome you here
to Augusta, Georgia.

15:49.615 --> 15:53.327
It's the Par 3 contest
at the 89th Masters.

15:54.745 --> 15:56.455
[commentator 2] Bradley and his mustache.

15:56.538 --> 15:58.832
-[commentator laughs]
-[commentator 2] US Ryder Cup captain.

15:58.916 --> 16:03.671
Might surprise you to hear
that the mustache was my suggestion.

16:04.463 --> 16:08.968
He was nervous to get back on tour
in the captain role.

16:09.051 --> 16:13.013
And I said to him… I was like,
"I think maybe you try out a mustache"

16:13.097 --> 16:15.224
as sort of an icebreaker.

16:18.268 --> 16:21.146
[Keegan] I don't know. I kind of did it
as a joke for my family.

16:21.647 --> 16:25.234
It's a controversial topic amongst people.
Either you love it or you hate it.

16:25.818 --> 16:28.487
[Wilson] With all of the noise
surrounding Keegan,

16:28.570 --> 16:31.407
let's not forget Keegan Bradley's
one of the best players in the world.

16:39.581 --> 16:41.667
[commentator 2] Might be
the first of the day.

16:41.750 --> 16:43.419
-[Keegan] Please go in.
-[man] Captain!

16:43.502 --> 16:45.003
[commentator] Yes!

16:45.087 --> 16:47.464
[cheering and applause]

16:47.548 --> 16:48.882
[commentator] He's done it!

16:49.758 --> 16:54.138
[Wilson] And the question is, can he win
his second major this week at Augusta,

16:54.638 --> 16:56.223
or will the pressure be too much for him?

16:57.224 --> 16:59.435
[Balionis] And then you have Rory McIlroy.

16:59.518 --> 17:02.688
[commentator] Rory McIlroy's daughter,
Poppy.

17:02.771 --> 17:06.567
[Balionis] I think Rory McIlroy
deserves to be in that rarified air

17:06.650 --> 17:09.319
of the best to have ever played.

17:09.403 --> 17:12.698
But will he ever be considered
in that group of players

17:12.781 --> 17:16.910
if he doesn't accomplish
the feat of the career Grand Slam?

17:17.411 --> 17:19.038
[cheering]

17:21.665 --> 17:23.709
[Rory] It's just such a fun afternoon.

17:23.792 --> 17:27.087
It's a really nice way
to sort of end the preparation

17:27.171 --> 17:30.841
going into, um, you know,
what is the serious part of the week.

17:30.924 --> 17:33.469
So it's nice to be able
to get out here and do this.

17:39.850 --> 17:43.479
[commentator] Thank you and good afternoon
from this 89th Masters tournament.

17:43.979 --> 17:47.191
[commentator 2] Defending champion
Scottie Scheffler on the tee.

17:47.858 --> 17:50.027
[commentator] And Justin Thomas,
is this for birdie?

17:52.362 --> 17:54.531
[cheering and applause]

17:54.615 --> 17:55.824
[commentator 3] Shane Lowry.

17:57.117 --> 17:59.411
-And he's two under par.
-[applause]

17:59.495 --> 18:02.331
[commentator 3] The US Ryder Cup captain,
Keegan Bradley.

18:04.208 --> 18:06.376
[cheering and applause]

18:06.460 --> 18:08.170
[commentator] Tommy Fleetwood.

18:08.796 --> 18:10.172
Rolls that one in.

18:10.255 --> 18:11.799
[applause]

18:12.508 --> 18:15.803
[commentator] This would be
his sixth birdie of the day.

18:16.303 --> 18:20.641
-And Rose keeps on rolling.
-[commentator 4] Remarkable start for JR.

18:20.724 --> 18:21.892
[commentator 3] Rory.

18:23.894 --> 18:25.521
[commentator 5] No crime
to leave it short.

18:25.604 --> 18:27.397
-[commentator 2] Settle.
-[commentator 3] Easy.

18:28.190 --> 18:29.274
[commentator 5] Careful.

18:29.358 --> 18:32.277
[commentator 3] Headed for disaster.
Destined for the water.

18:34.655 --> 18:37.574
[commentator] Rory's been
at least six shots back.

18:39.284 --> 18:44.623
[commentator 3] The ninth time he has led
or co-led after a round at Augusta.

18:44.706 --> 18:49.586
That's the most ever
by anyone without a green jacket.

18:49.670 --> 18:53.549
You're living the dream, in the moment,
striving to sort of win this tournament.

18:53.632 --> 18:57.094
It's a… it's a bucket list for anybody
and everybody in the game, of course.

18:59.304 --> 19:02.599
[Rapaport] Rory is definitely
not off to the start he was hoping for.

19:02.683 --> 19:05.644
And I don't know if he's trying too hard,
not trying hard enough,

19:05.727 --> 19:06.937
whatever it might be.

19:07.020 --> 19:09.940
But if you're gonna win,
you gotta put yourself in better position.

19:10.440 --> 19:12.943
[commentator] Friday at the Masters,

19:13.026 --> 19:16.029
and we've got our leader, Justin Rose.

19:16.113 --> 19:18.740
[suspenseful music playing]

19:18.824 --> 19:21.535
[commentator] Oh, what a shot
from Justin Rose.

19:21.618 --> 19:23.871
[Justin Rose] You kind of know
that something's bubbling,

19:23.954 --> 19:27.166
that you are producing
in the bigger moments

19:27.249 --> 19:29.209
the level that's required to win.

19:29.293 --> 19:31.920
[commentator] Chance to extend the lead
to three.

19:32.004 --> 19:33.130
[cheering]

19:33.213 --> 19:35.632
[commentator 2] It is
a comfortable-looking Justin Rose

19:35.716 --> 19:36.884
right now.

19:37.467 --> 19:38.552
Now, Rory.

19:41.889 --> 19:45.100
[commentator] Rory, finally, a dart.

19:45.809 --> 19:49.271
[commentator 3] What a remarkable rebound
today by Rory.

19:49.980 --> 19:51.190
[commentator] At the cut line…

19:51.773 --> 19:53.150
Keegan…

19:55.277 --> 19:57.571
[Balionis] If you know
Keegan Bradley at all,

19:57.654 --> 20:00.073
you know he is fiercely competitive.

20:00.157 --> 20:02.743
The stress of being a captain,

20:02.826 --> 20:05.954
and all the things that come with that,
continue to build.

20:06.538 --> 20:11.001
Can he emotionally and mentally
handle all of this?

20:11.084 --> 20:12.502
[Keegan] Just missed the cut.

20:12.586 --> 20:15.297
But as soon as I sign my card
and I leave the ropes,

20:15.380 --> 20:17.382
I have to resume my role as captain.

20:18.300 --> 20:22.638
So I stayed the weekend
to see how our guys are doing.

20:22.721 --> 20:25.974
You know, these majors
are basically two tournaments in one.

20:26.767 --> 20:30.020
These are the events
that are gonna really define our team.

20:31.563 --> 20:35.943
[woman] Why don't you interview Dad?
Ask him all your hard-hitting questions.

20:36.026 --> 20:40.656
What are your thoughts
on being the 2026 Ryder Cup captain?

20:40.739 --> 20:42.616
-[girl] 2025.
-2025.

20:42.699 --> 20:44.034
[laughing]

20:44.117 --> 20:44.993
[girl] Gigi!

20:45.077 --> 20:47.454
Well, I see it's very interesting
to you, Miss Reporter.

20:47.537 --> 20:50.666
-You couldn't even get the year right, so…
-My name is Miss Bolognese.

20:50.749 --> 20:51.667
Miss Bolognese.

20:51.750 --> 20:54.962
[Luke] I've been very fortunate with
the Ryder Cup and what it's given to me.

20:55.045 --> 20:59.508
You know, I obviously have
an amazing opportunity to go back to back.

21:00.050 --> 21:01.969
Look at that. Perfectly cooked.

21:02.511 --> 21:04.680
-Go on.
-Wow!

21:04.763 --> 21:08.141
Keegan, you know, I think his dynamic's
a little bit different to mine.

21:08.225 --> 21:10.060
-[girl] Dad, you've grown.
-Number one dad mode!

21:10.143 --> 21:12.771
[girl 2] This is, like, the second time
you've cooked this year.

21:12.854 --> 21:15.190
-And the first time was yesterday.
-[woman laughs]

21:15.274 --> 21:18.026
I wanted to concentrate a lot
on the Ryder Cup,

21:18.110 --> 21:21.405
and play just enough events
to be around the players enough.

21:21.488 --> 21:24.449
So, you know, I played
a minimized schedule this year.

21:25.409 --> 21:27.619
He's still playing at a very high level,

21:27.703 --> 21:31.957
and to concentrate on
being a great player, um…

21:32.040 --> 21:34.918
and being a captain,
it's tough to juggle both of those.

21:35.002 --> 21:39.715
What are you guys gonna do if people are
being mean to Team Europe in New York?

21:39.798 --> 21:42.134
[girl 2] Mmm, it has a hint of barbecue.

21:42.217 --> 21:43.302
I'll fight them!

21:43.385 --> 21:44.886
[girl 2] Elle, if…

21:45.721 --> 21:51.977
For Luke, he's very good at being present
and being in the moment,

21:52.060 --> 21:54.813
but also thinking ahead.

21:54.896 --> 21:57.733
Um… and that's… Yeah, I don't know.

21:57.816 --> 22:00.986
He's a Sagittarius.
That's just how he is. [chuckles]

22:01.069 --> 22:04.156
In 2012 at Medina,
you know who went out first?

22:04.239 --> 22:07.117
-Wait, did we already call out the people?
-Dad.

22:07.200 --> 22:08.285
I did.

22:08.869 --> 22:13.623
[Diane] We, I think,
learned so much doing it the first time.

22:13.707 --> 22:17.002
And I just think the experience
is very helpful.

22:18.003 --> 22:19.254
Get it! Go!

22:19.921 --> 22:20.964
Whoo!

22:21.048 --> 22:24.134
It's probably gonna have quite a lot
of continuity, uh, from Rome to this.

22:24.217 --> 22:25.302
[Gigi] Dad!

22:25.385 --> 22:28.889
[Luke] And the best players
are rising to the top again.

22:29.389 --> 22:32.142
You know, obviously, to see Rory
win the PLAYERS was pretty special.

22:32.225 --> 22:33.435
He's a leader for us.

22:33.518 --> 22:34.394
And Rosey.

22:35.145 --> 22:38.023
With the Masters,
it's hard to count out Justin.

22:38.106 --> 22:39.566
He's getting a little bit older,

22:39.649 --> 22:43.236
but he seems to be able
to rise to those big occasions.

22:45.655 --> 22:47.574
[Justin Rose exhaling sharply]

22:48.700 --> 22:51.370
[Justin Rose] It's been 8 months
since we played a major championship,

22:51.453 --> 22:53.789
so there's a lot of time
to think about the Masters.

22:54.790 --> 22:57.834
It's one of my favorites.
You know, I've been there many times.

22:58.502 --> 23:01.046
[Wilson] Justin Rose is 45 years old.

23:01.129 --> 23:04.758
On tour, he's unc, and he's leading.

23:04.841 --> 23:06.551
It may be a shock to a lot of people,

23:06.635 --> 23:11.348
but let's not forget he's been successful
in every decade of his career.

23:11.431 --> 23:15.435
Sure, he has yet to win the Masters,
but this is a Ryder Cup year.

23:15.519 --> 23:19.398
Ryder Cup is something
that I dream about being a part of.

23:19.481 --> 23:20.774
I've missed a couple.

23:21.274 --> 23:23.235
I've only ever been picked once
in the Ryder Cup.

23:23.318 --> 23:25.362
It was in '23. Luke gave me a call.

23:25.445 --> 23:28.990
I think Netflix saw that call come in live
on the… in the garden.

23:29.908 --> 23:32.244
-Hi, Luke.
-Well, I've got some good news, mate.

23:32.828 --> 23:34.079
You're in the team.

23:34.162 --> 23:35.831
[Justin Rose] Two other times
I didn't play,

23:35.914 --> 23:37.707
I was on the wrong side
of that phone call.

23:38.458 --> 23:40.335
Making the team by rights is huge.

23:40.418 --> 23:42.838
Not putting yourself in that position,
waiting for the phone.

23:42.921 --> 23:44.714
You're in control of your own destiny.

23:45.465 --> 23:48.718
It's a big focus of mine this year.
I'm gonna play my way into the team.

23:49.803 --> 23:54.266
If Justin can beat the best young players
in the game and win the Masters,

23:54.349 --> 23:56.601
he may finally solidify himself

23:56.685 --> 24:00.438
as the best current player
on the European continent.

24:02.399 --> 24:04.317
[commentator] From
the Augusta National Golf Club,

24:04.401 --> 24:07.320
we're live as the third round is underway.

24:07.404 --> 24:10.282
The seasoned and brilliant Justin Rose.

24:12.367 --> 24:13.535
[man] Hold! Hold! Hold!

24:13.618 --> 24:14.911
[commentator 2] Hmm.

24:14.995 --> 24:19.916
He's grimacing and leaning,
and that doesn't mean good things.

24:20.000 --> 24:21.710
[applause]

24:21.793 --> 24:23.378
[commentator 2] Here's Rory.

24:23.462 --> 24:26.423
[commentator 3] He certainly can't land
this on the green, can he, Dottie?

24:26.506 --> 24:29.301
[Dottie] I don't think so.
I think it needs to land on the fringe.

24:29.384 --> 24:30.969
Going with the spinner.

24:31.052 --> 24:32.512
[suspenseful music plays]

24:32.596 --> 24:34.097
[man 2] Go in! Go in!

24:34.181 --> 24:35.348
[commentator 3] And it's in!

24:35.432 --> 24:36.766
[cheering]

24:36.850 --> 24:39.352
[commentator 3] Eagle chip at two.

24:39.436 --> 24:41.271
It's the start of your dreams.

24:41.897 --> 24:44.900
Led by one at the start of the day,
currently trails by four.

24:44.983 --> 24:46.067
This for birdie.

24:46.151 --> 24:48.528
[crowd] Oh!

24:48.612 --> 24:49.446
You're joking me.

24:49.529 --> 24:51.990
[commentator 2] He's gotta be
in disbelief what he's witnessing.

24:56.119 --> 25:00.999
[Justin Rose] I'm very, very,
very, very, very frustrated.

25:01.875 --> 25:04.127
I feel like I've lost the Masters.

25:04.211 --> 25:06.171
I played great golf tee to green.

25:06.254 --> 25:08.924
I think I hit 16 out of the 18 greens.

25:09.007 --> 25:12.177
I think I had 37 putts.
I lost five strokes on the greens.

25:12.260 --> 25:15.555
I walked off with 75. I turned 69 into 75.

25:16.723 --> 25:18.308
I'm super frustrated.

25:18.391 --> 25:20.477
It's an uphill battle for sure,

25:20.560 --> 25:25.065
but Sunday at Augusta,
it is a sort of a spiritual day.

25:25.899 --> 25:29.528
I'm still having a good week, and I still
believe there's a great round in me,

25:29.611 --> 25:33.156
and I still want to sort of realize
how special it is

25:33.240 --> 25:35.575
to be playing Augusta National
on the Sunday of the Masters.

25:35.659 --> 25:37.994
Like, it's still a childhood dream, right?

25:38.495 --> 25:40.205
I know I need to shift my mindset.

25:40.705 --> 25:44.042
I can prove that my game is still
good enough to win at the highest level.

25:48.338 --> 25:50.340
[commentator] Everything
is coming together

25:50.423 --> 25:52.259
for a memorable day of golf.

25:52.759 --> 25:56.137
It might be one of the great days
the game has seen in the modern era.

25:56.763 --> 25:59.057
Now driving, Justin Rose!

25:59.140 --> 26:01.142
[cheering]

26:03.812 --> 26:08.066
I'm going into Sunday thinking,
"I don't know what's going to happen,

26:08.149 --> 26:11.945
but I know I'm going to remember this day
for the rest of my life."

26:18.034 --> 26:22.205
[Justin Rose] I woke up this morning just
really grateful to be Sunday at Augusta.

26:22.289 --> 26:24.749
It's a special day in the game of golf,
no matter what.

26:25.250 --> 26:27.002
[commentator] This for birdie at the 1st.

26:27.085 --> 26:28.461
[cheering and applause]

26:28.545 --> 26:32.674
[Justin Rose] Just kind of went into
the place that you dream about going to.

26:32.757 --> 26:35.010
[commentator 2] Justin Rose for birdie.

26:36.553 --> 26:40.599
For us, I think we were just head down,
in the moment, hole after hole after hole.

26:40.682 --> 26:42.058
Very much tunnel vision.

26:42.142 --> 26:43.476
[commentator 2] Let's go to 11.

26:43.560 --> 26:44.519
Justin Rose.

26:44.602 --> 26:47.856
[commentator 3] A long distance away.
Fifty-seven feet.

26:49.441 --> 26:50.984
[cheering]

26:52.068 --> 26:53.236
[commentator 4] Moving up.

26:54.779 --> 26:58.158
[Justin Rose] I felt so good with my game,
felt so good with my mind.

26:58.241 --> 26:59.576
I wasn't looking at leaderboards.

26:59.659 --> 27:03.163
The only way I sensed
that I was getting into it was the crowd.

27:06.791 --> 27:08.209
[commentator] Oh my goodness!

27:08.877 --> 27:11.421
Justin Rose is right back
in the thick of it.

27:12.047 --> 27:15.008
[Dottie] Rory's left himself
the beautiful, safest angle.

27:15.091 --> 27:16.885
Just 86 to the hole.

27:16.968 --> 27:18.511
[suspenseful music playing]

27:18.595 --> 27:20.972
[commentator 3] Look for this
a little long and a little left.

27:22.057 --> 27:23.892
-[commentator] Oh, Rory.
-[crowd] Oh!

27:23.975 --> 27:25.894
[commentator] Oh my goodness.

27:27.228 --> 27:28.438
[Dottie] I can't explain it.

27:33.526 --> 27:36.488
[Balionis] It feels like
we're watching Rory relive

27:36.571 --> 27:41.159
his trauma and past disappointments
in real time.

27:44.537 --> 27:47.374
[commentator 2] Rose has got
a short putt at 16 for birdie.

27:47.457 --> 27:50.543
-[commentator 3] What a big moment.
-[applause]

27:53.505 --> 27:54.714
[cheering]

27:54.798 --> 27:57.175
[commentator 3] The unthinkable
just happened. They are tied.

27:58.009 --> 28:00.011
His ninth birdie of the day.

28:00.887 --> 28:04.557
[commentator] Can McIlroy
turn around this momentum

28:04.641 --> 28:06.267
at the par-five 15th?

28:08.353 --> 28:09.896
[commentator 4] Is this enough?

28:11.523 --> 28:12.774
It is!

28:13.858 --> 28:15.568
Oh, here it comes!

28:15.652 --> 28:17.654
[cheering and applause]

28:19.447 --> 28:21.157
[commentator 4] The shot of a lifetime.

28:23.827 --> 28:26.454
[Dethier] It's a painful experience
watching this back nine.

28:26.538 --> 28:29.374
He keeps shooting himself in the foot,
but then he keeps on bouncing back

28:29.457 --> 28:31.418
and putting himself
right in the mix again.

28:32.836 --> 28:35.964
[commentator] Rose has a putt
to tie the lead.

28:38.508 --> 28:39.592
[man] Get in the hole!

28:39.676 --> 28:40.802
[commentator 4] And a chance.

28:40.885 --> 28:43.179
Oh wow, what a putt!

28:43.263 --> 28:44.264
[cheering]

28:44.347 --> 28:47.267
[Justin Rose] If you look at what
you wanted to achieve in life, this is it.

28:47.350 --> 28:49.185
Ten birdies on the Sunday at Augusta.

28:49.269 --> 28:51.521
I left it all out there,
played as free as I could.

28:51.604 --> 28:55.442
And now, when it's not in your control,
it's a very strange situation.

28:55.525 --> 28:56.818
[Kate] He played brilliantly.

28:56.901 --> 28:59.571
So that was, I think, something
that he could have so much pride in.

28:59.654 --> 29:01.656
[cheering and applause]

29:02.615 --> 29:04.868
[Rapaport] Rose has gotta be
thrilled with his final round,

29:04.951 --> 29:07.412
but at the same time,
he's been here before.

29:07.495 --> 29:11.833
And if you bring up the 2017 Masters
to him, he still… Like, it still hurts.

29:11.916 --> 29:14.043
It's still very sensitive.
It's a touchy subject.

29:14.127 --> 29:16.504
That was the last time
the Masters went to a playoff,

29:16.588 --> 29:18.173
and he lost to Sergio Garcia

29:18.256 --> 29:21.217
in a tournament that he really feels
like he should have won.

29:21.301 --> 29:24.012
Obviously, he doesn't want
history to repeat itself again,

29:24.095 --> 29:26.431
but he might not even get
the opportunity for a playoff

29:26.514 --> 29:28.683
if Rory can win this thing outright.

29:28.766 --> 29:30.977
[suspenseful music playing]

29:31.060 --> 29:33.730
[commentator 4] Put it on the green,
green jacket might be yours.

29:35.273 --> 29:37.150
[Dottie] That's gap wedge on the way.

29:38.735 --> 29:40.779
[commentator 4] He's leaning.
Oh my goodness!

29:43.072 --> 29:46.701
[commentator 2] Is there another twist
in this 89th Masters?

29:46.784 --> 29:48.077
[commentator 4] Why not one more?

29:49.621 --> 29:54.209
Rose continues to give himself
possibility of a playoff, staying loose.

29:57.712 --> 29:59.130
[crowd murmuring]

29:59.214 --> 30:00.298
[commentator 4] Go.

30:00.381 --> 30:01.841
[applause]

30:02.467 --> 30:03.510
[commentator 4] That putt

30:04.761 --> 30:05.595
for the world.

30:10.475 --> 30:11.684
Can you do it?

30:12.227 --> 30:14.562
All of those moments lead to this.

30:19.692 --> 30:21.152
[man] Get in the hole!

30:21.236 --> 30:23.238
[crowd] Oh!

30:23.321 --> 30:25.323
[somber music playing]

30:38.294 --> 30:39.712
[commentator 4] Going to a playoff.

30:39.796 --> 30:40.880
[cheering and applause]

30:44.759 --> 30:46.469
-[man 2] Get 'em, Justin!
-Thank you.

30:46.970 --> 30:48.972
[cheering]

30:51.057 --> 30:54.269
[Rory] I thought, you know,
have I let this slip again?

30:57.730 --> 30:59.983
It's so hard
to keep coming back every year

31:00.066 --> 31:02.569
and trying your best
and not being able to get it done.

31:02.652 --> 31:04.862
It's so hard to stay patient.

31:05.989 --> 31:08.533
St. Andrews was a tough one to take

31:08.616 --> 31:10.910
because you only get
a few opportunities there.

31:12.370 --> 31:14.581
The U.S. Open last year was

31:15.081 --> 31:16.291
awful.

31:22.505 --> 31:26.384
I've sometimes let that weight
of expectation get the better of me.

31:26.467 --> 31:29.596
And, like, there's already
enough expectation coming from outside,

31:29.679 --> 31:30.555
and all the hype.

31:30.638 --> 31:31.472
[man 3] Rory!

31:31.556 --> 31:33.224
[man 4] I've always wanted
to be on Netflix.

31:33.308 --> 31:35.268
Not all… not all it's cracked up to be.

31:36.978 --> 31:40.523
[Rory] I feel good enough
to be fucking top ten in my head.

31:40.607 --> 31:42.191
But not good enough to win.

31:43.276 --> 31:45.153
Like, it feels so far away.

31:45.236 --> 31:48.031
[crowd chanting]

31:51.826 --> 31:55.079
[Rory] Harry and I were walking
to the golf cart

31:55.163 --> 31:57.206
to bring us back to the 18th tee.

31:58.082 --> 32:00.376
I've known Harry
since I was seven years old.

32:00.460 --> 32:02.962
I met him on the putting green
at Holywood Golf Club.

32:05.214 --> 32:08.217
We've had so many good times together.

32:08.301 --> 32:10.470
You know, he's been
like a big brother to me.

32:10.553 --> 32:12.555
And he said to me, "Well, pal,

32:12.639 --> 32:16.184
you would've given your right arm to be
in a playoff at the start of the week."

32:16.267 --> 32:18.853
So that was an easy reset.

32:18.937 --> 32:21.689
Just stay the course. Just keep believing.

32:25.610 --> 32:27.278
[Justin Rose] My warmup,
I went to hit balls

32:27.362 --> 32:29.072
for 20, 30 minutes there on the range,

32:29.155 --> 32:31.908
and, you know,
I felt like every shot I hit was terrible.

32:31.991 --> 32:35.119
And then I heard he missed and I was like,
"Right, wow. Let's go."

32:35.912 --> 32:37.413
[man 5] Justin!

32:37.497 --> 32:38.915
[man 6] Let's go, Rory!

32:39.791 --> 32:42.710
[commentator 4] First playoff
at the Masters since 2017

32:42.794 --> 32:45.129
when Justin Rose was a participant.

32:45.713 --> 32:47.840
Oh, hits right next to the hole.

32:48.925 --> 32:51.094
[Rory] I think when Justin hit
his second shot in,

32:51.177 --> 32:54.555
I couldn't tell how close it was,
but it looked like it was very close.

32:54.639 --> 32:58.893
So I felt like I had no option
but to be aggressive with my second shot

32:58.976 --> 33:00.937
and take it right at the flag.

33:04.816 --> 33:06.359
[commentator 4] This isn't going right.

33:06.442 --> 33:07.819
Might be going right at it.

33:08.319 --> 33:10.279
Should come back down off the slope.

33:10.780 --> 33:12.782
[intense music playing]

33:12.865 --> 33:14.867
[cheering and applause]

33:17.203 --> 33:18.955
[commentator 4] Oh my goodness.

33:24.293 --> 33:28.840
[Rory] I truly believe I'm a better player
now than I was ten years ago.

33:28.923 --> 33:30.591
I probably didn't understand myself.

33:30.675 --> 33:35.555
I didn't understand why I got myself
in a great position in 2011,

33:35.638 --> 33:38.057
and I probably didn't understand
why I let it slip.

33:38.933 --> 33:42.437
Look, you have to be
the… the eternal optimist in this game.

33:46.733 --> 33:48.776
-[man 7] Get in the hole!
-[man 8] Get in the hole!

33:49.527 --> 33:52.238
[crowd] Oh!

33:56.159 --> 34:00.747
[Rory] I've carried that burden
since August 2014, nearly 11 years.

34:00.830 --> 34:01.998
Need to be like that guy.

34:02.081 --> 34:05.251
As the years have went on,
I've… I've just become more accustomed

34:05.334 --> 34:08.296
to the noise that sort of surrounds
my whole Masters week,

34:08.379 --> 34:11.382
and I've become
a little more comfortable with it.

34:12.508 --> 34:16.345
It's funny how these things work,
but, uh, I'm just so proud of myself

34:16.429 --> 34:20.558
that I keep coming back
and putting myself in positions to win.

34:29.567 --> 34:31.819
[commentator] The long journey is over!

34:32.320 --> 34:35.573
McIlroy has his masterpiece.

34:35.656 --> 34:37.658
[cheering and applause]

34:37.742 --> 34:39.744
[uplifting music playing]

35:03.142 --> 35:04.852
[Justin Rose] We saw
a part of history today.

35:05.978 --> 35:07.063
I mean, I just said to him,

35:07.146 --> 35:10.483
"Glad I was here on this green
to witness you win the career Grand Slam."

35:10.566 --> 35:13.778
You know, that's such a cool,
momentous moment in the game of golf.

35:13.861 --> 35:15.863
[cheering and applause]

35:16.781 --> 35:21.035
[Rory] What came out of me was
at least 11 years, if not 14 years,

35:21.118 --> 35:22.954
of pent-up emotion.

35:25.498 --> 35:27.500
[sentimental music playing]

35:39.387 --> 35:41.931
[Tommy] The Masters has eluded him
for a long time.

35:43.349 --> 35:47.061
And maybe the longer it takes,
the sweeter it makes the story.

35:49.897 --> 35:52.692
[Keegan] I really was happy for Rory.

35:52.775 --> 35:55.945
I felt a sense of pride
that someone from my generation

35:56.028 --> 35:58.573
went out there and won the Grand Slam.

35:59.532 --> 36:02.577
[Shane] He's, like, the greatest golfer
of our generation.

36:03.077 --> 36:05.788
Winning the Masters was everything
for him. It always has been.

36:05.872 --> 36:07.165
It has been for a long time.

36:07.248 --> 36:11.711
[Luke] To be only the sixth person ever
to complete the Grand Slam,

36:11.794 --> 36:13.171
that's weighty stuff.

36:13.254 --> 36:16.799
I mean, that is… It's hard
to put into words how good that is.

36:18.384 --> 36:24.223
[announcer] And now, ladies and gentlemen,
the 2025 Masters champion, Rory McIlroy.

36:24.307 --> 36:26.309
[cheering]

36:31.981 --> 36:34.192
[Rory] I go back
to watching this tournament

36:34.275 --> 36:37.528
on the weekend with my father
when I was seven and eight years old.

36:38.237 --> 36:42.575
To think that… that I'm up here
wearing one of those green jackets is…

36:42.658 --> 36:46.537
Honestly, it's a dream come true.
Like, my dreams have been made today.

36:46.621 --> 36:48.623
[cheering and applause]

36:58.925 --> 37:02.053
[reporter] Now completed
the career Grand Slam,

37:02.136 --> 37:05.806
please share with us
your thoughts at this moment.

37:05.890 --> 37:08.059
Um, I'd like to start
this press conference

37:08.142 --> 37:09.852
with a question myself.

37:09.936 --> 37:11.729
What are we
all gonna talk about next year?

37:11.812 --> 37:14.690
[chuckles]

37:16.859 --> 37:20.196
[Rapaport] The United States Open
is the hardest golf tournament every year.

37:20.279 --> 37:22.073
The majors are so stressful.

37:22.156 --> 37:25.368
When we're looking at guys
that sort of burst onto the scene,

37:25.451 --> 37:28.704
we want to see the guys coming
down the stretch at the biggest events.

37:29.247 --> 37:32.667
After the top few names,
it's a bit of a free-for-all.

37:32.750 --> 37:35.836
[Balionis] Keegan Bradley,
he's in this unique position

37:35.920 --> 37:38.798
to find new talent
that we've never thought of before.

37:38.881 --> 37:41.384
My professional golf journey
has been a roller coaster.

37:41.467 --> 37:42.802
[Maverick] Was a good flight, man.

37:42.885 --> 37:47.598
My dad was incredibly successful,
but I play golf because I love to compete.

37:47.682 --> 37:50.518
When I grew up, I was actually
trying to hide that I was a golfer.

37:50.601 --> 37:51.560
[Sean] Me too!

37:51.644 --> 37:55.272
Pretty crazy. But here we are.
Eating cake on Netflix.

37:56.232 --> 37:59.902
It doesn't matter where you came from.
It's where you're at and what you can do.

37:59.986 --> 38:04.699
[commentator] One of the most unlikely
final-round Sundays in U.S. Open history.

38:06.951 --> 38:08.869
[dramatic music playing]
most unlikely
final-round Sundays in U.S. Open history.
