-Previously on the Big Break, 10 men were chosen to vie for 4 Canadian Tour exemptions and the lease of a Ford Explorer. They were brought to Gaylord, Michigan where their games and guts were put to the test. They fought the golf course and Mother Nature. They took on the challenges, the cameras, and the clock. They battled each other and themselves. One by one, they were eliminated until there were just 2 men standing. Tonight, live from the Golf Channel studios, the contestants come together for the first time since they left Treetops. Here, they will watch the final challenge unfold. The challenge between Justin and Anthony, the challenge that will decide who will be the final player eliminated and who will get the Big Break. -2, 1, roll 50 track play it up. -Hi and welcome to the episode you've all been waiting for, the season finale of the Big Break. To my right, 7 of your favorite contestants from the hit show and to my left, the hosts, Rick Smith and Katherine Roberts. Welcome everyone. It's good to see you. -Hi. How are you doing? -Nice to be here. -Alright. Yes there are 3 important faces missing from this crowd. One belongs to Garrett Garland who sadly cannot be with us because he is undertaking surgery which prevents him from traveling. But the other 2 are here and they are ready to do battle for those all important 4 exemptions to the Canadian Tour tournaments seen exclusively on the Golf Channel. Let's bring them in. Justin Peters and Anthony Sorentino. -Hey. How are you doing ladies? -What's up baby? -Good to see you guys. -Roddy fox. -What's happening? -Hey. -Good to see you guys. -Anthony? -What's up baby? -Good to see you guys. -Hey babe. -Hello. -How are you? -Craig. Long time no see. -Welcome, gentlemen. -I called you, Jon. -Can you feel the love in the air? I can't believe you guys actually competed against each other. You've really developed a strong bond. This show has been a huge success for the Golf Channel, and we hope that it's been just as successful for all of you and I start with you, Rick and Katherine. What kind of feedback have you gotten on the road? -Well, for me it's been incredible, just overwhelming. Everywhere I go, people, they wanna talk about the show. They're constantly trying to get information out of me which I refuse to do. I didn't even tell my husband anything. And the response has been incredible. People really have connected with our 10 golfers and the whole experience. -Rick, you mix with amateurs and professional golfers. What kind of feedback have you gotten? -It's amazing. I go back out on Tour those next couple of months and all of a sudden that's all they're talking about. They guys are watching the show, the PGA Tour. It seems like these guys are kind of living the dream and it seems like there are so many people out there that are really want to do the same thing and they don't have the nerve to do it. These guys had the nerve to do it and I think that's what it's all about. -And they did it well. -Yes they did. -Yes they did. -Guys, what's it like to see each other again? Jeff, I'll ask you. -Oh, it's awesome seeing these guys and everything that they've done has been wonderful watching you and it's just great to get back together with them, it really is. -Jon, how do you feel about the reunion? -I love it. It's awesome. I mean each one of us got a chance to actually bond with each other for a full week and sadly but true. You know one person left each day but just to come back together again, you know and meet those old friends and spend some time and play some golf was wonderful, was awesome. -Let me see a show of hands. How many of you guys actually have gotten agents since the deal? Come on. Mark, raise your hand. You already had one. Steve, a talk show over there. Mark, you've gotten a personal trainer since the show. You won a couple of mountain bikes. You look like you've dropped a few pounds. Have you used the mountain bikes? -I think the part is, will you be my agent? -You picked up some sponsorship. Tell us about it. -Yes. I've been very fortunate that golf club companies stepped forward and has provided me equipment for the coming year and I've worked with another company and improved my swings so. Yes, it's been very exciting. -You were very exciting. What a character to watch. And I know you guys have been signing autographs too. I've heard some great stories from you. Steve, I know you have a special one that involves a Tampa Bay buccaneer, Mike Alstott, a 6-time all pro. I mean you know he's pretty well-known guy. You're sitting with him and what happens? -Well, I do a show with Mike every Monday at his restaurant on my radio show and this guy walked out. Mike and I were sitting during the break and this guy walks out and he says, "I've been staring at you through the window." He says, "You're that guy Steve from the Big Break, aren't you?" And I go, "Yes." And he goes, "Can I have your autograph?" -Mike Alstott sitting right next to me. An all-pro football player and he doesn't even talk to him. It's like whoa. -Charles, I know you signed a few my man. Tell me about one of your great stories. -Man. Well, let me see. I've had a few and I'll tell you one of the nicest things that I did. There were some children that was outside of the Big Bear out in the cold, waiting, getting, collecting money for a junior basketball and I walked in and I saw the kids. And then one kid said to me, he said, "Hey. You're on the Big Break." And I said, "Yes. That was me." So he asked me, he said, "Can I get your autograph?" And I said, "Well I don't have anything right now." And I said, "But I'll get it for you." So I ran all the way home and got me a nice viewer's guide, came back, signed it for the kids, and they just loved it. One of the kids' father pulled me to the side and he said, "Charles, that is the greatest thing you've done. I appreciate that." And I've been doing stuff like that and I love it. -You guys are definitely making a difference. Now I'm curious, Mr. Sorentino. You think you can make it through a 2-hour special here without putting a dip of tobacco in your mouth? -I don't know. We might have to get a cognac. -We get a little video. -There you go. LA is a show censored by 10. -Look at this. You're spitting in Garrett. -He came close to spitting the hole. -This is absolutely, that's bad sportsmanship, Anthony. -One of the tobacco-- -I'm on Nicorette these days. -That's excellent. We heard you actually sent one of our production coordinators on a road trip in the middle of taping because you ran out of dip. Is this true? -It was before the last one and I make bogeys when I don't get a chew-in. I mean it's terrible. I've heard Nick Price said that he wants to quit smoking, but he can't right now, so. You know I really make bogeys when I don't have a chew-in. Like you. -Copenhagen. Or probably it's Skoal. -Oh you know now. -Yes. I know you brought your girl. -I'm trying to quit. -Okay. That's good. I know you brought your girlfriend with you during the final elimination challenge and speaking of trying to quit, Justin, your mom promised that she would quit smoking if you were able to win the Big Break. If it happens, will you hold her to it? -That's gonna be up to her. You know I mean we'll just have to wait and see what happens you know as far as the way it unfolds. But she's always been very honest in everything. So I believe if I was the winner, I believe she would quit smoking regardless if I told her she didn't have to. I think she still would. -You're a winner already for making it this far. And guys, what would a Canadian Tour exemption mean to one of the 2 of these fellows? Charles, what do you think it would mean? -Oh, I think it would be really a great opportunity because so many like you who's saying where there are so many individuals out there that really don't get an opportunity to do the things that we're doing. And for one of these gentlemen whoever eventually is the winner for them to go out and have those exemptions, it means the world, because they have an opportunity to get themselves going to that stage to show what they can do in the competition setting. And I think it's just amazing. -Randy, you're not in your head back there. I'm sure you agree with Charles. -Oh yes. Life is opportunities. He's gonna have an opportunity to showcase his talent. -Craig? You're a professional golfer. What would it mean to you? -What it would mean to me? It's just the ways and means to get free exemptions on the Tour, get some exposure on national TV is exactly what you're looking for. And these 2 guys, they deserve it. Where they're coming from, I mean, look at Justin with his daughter, trying to support her at the same time. He's trying to do his golf career and Anthony, young gun up and coming trying to get some experience. For both of them, it would mean just as much to me. -You two have the respect of this entire group and in order for Justin and Anthony to take advantage of these precious exemptions, they must win the Big Break. These men have survived every elimination challenge to this point. Now they must face one more grueling test. It's time to reveal the final challenge. Let's go to the Treetops Resort. -Splinters walking around on these floors with the wood. -Hey, Anthony. -Hi. -How are you doing this morning? -I'm good. It's my good luck picture. My daughter gave me a nice kiss before I left. -Did you think you were gonna be here? -Yes. I mean you don't come to these things and just be like fine I guess. You know what I mean. You came here to get to the end zone. Absolutely. -Hopefully, me and Anthony have a pretty good battle out there and hopefully whoever wins, wins by hitting great shots. -What did I forget? Checklist. I think I should get ready here, I think I'm almost done. -I'm looking forward to it. I don't know what they're gonna have in store for us today but we're gonna find out. -Let's go. Good luck to both of you today. -Thanks. -Hey guys. -Guys. Good to see you. Good to see you, Justin. -Hi Anthony. -Well congratulations. You know this is the final show. This is it. You still have to beat the other person, but the odds are obviously a lot better right now than they were yesterday or previous shows. So you've seen some wild things. You've been hitting balls through sheets of glass. You've been hitting balls over walls. You name it. Today, we're gonna take you over. There's not gonna be any skills challenge. It's gonna be 18 holes of match play and you're gonna be playing my signature course here and you'll be playing a match play environment and you know you've got a bunch of things riding. Number 1) the Ford Explorer, you have the Canadian Tour exemptions, 4 of those. And I'll tell you what? That's what you want and I know that's what you're going for. -Yes. -May the best man win. -There's no losers here. I mean we're both winners here no matter how it turns out. -You guys have done well and we're just happy that you guys are here and we're looking forward to seeing your action. -Alright. -Good luck. -Thanks Rick. -Good luck. -Thanks again. -Okay. -Thanks again. -I was hoping for exactly what we did. I mean me and Justin talked last night. We thought, "Can they do anything besides have us have a match?" -It wasn't gonna be one shot or you know best out of 3 shots. It was we're gonna go play in a round of golf. -We wanted to play each other. We've been talking about it. I mean we get to see the golf course finally. I mean we've been itching to play. -There it is. The competition. 18 holes of match play to determine a champion. Who will win the Big Break? We've had a poll running all week on the golfchannel.com. We invite you to log on and join the fun. Cast your vote. Will it be Anthony or Justin? We will reveal the results at the end of the 2 hours. It's gonna be an action-packed 2 hours we got tonight's big finale. We'll constantly check in on the competition, take plenty of fun looks back on the season and of course offer a few twists and turn as we go to break. Words of advice from a master of match play. -Hey guys. Congratulations on making it through match play. I know it's not an easy format, but sure it's a lot of fun and hats off to you guys. Be aware that it's a doggie-dog competition. So you know it's 18 holes of complete war and I think that's the flow and that's the fun of it. And again good luck. -From Las Vegas, Nevada. -I'm from Huntington, Arkansas. -I'm from Bay City, Texas. -Simi Valley, California. -From Toronto, Canada. -Brighton, Wisconsin. -Divisional VP CEO kind of guy. -I'm a school administrator. -I'm in the mortgage banking business. -Was a drill sergeant. -I'm a minister. -I'm a radio talk show host and we're all here for the same purpose. -Hi. I'm Mark Farnham. I'm really excited to have this opportunity to audition today for the Big Break. -It's pretty addictive. It's like drugs. -Ready and willing to do whatever it takes. -So you want me to do that in front of the camera and be a complete dweeb? -Alrighty then. -I really am a good golfer but my forte is Krispy Kreme donuts. -There ain't none. What you book the dealers. Take the ball out to the left. Let the men take it back to the rake. -Are you talking to me? -You've got a problem? -And you'll be right there on the green about 20 feet from the putt. -My best game face. Ho there it is. Ho there it is. Ho. There you go. -You wanna ring your own bell too much but a lot of people say you're the best golfer that I've never heard of. -Definitely, I always dream of playing professional tour of golf, the highest level I think. -It's a dream. -I don't wanna turn 40 and say you know what? What could or should have been. -It's a dream. -I've got all the shots. -Nobody has all the shots. -What are you playing to right now? -Scratch. -Scratch? -Yes. -I'm scratch. -I'm a scratch player. -I get a kick at some of these guys. I think they're scratch golfers. -They can't scratch the mask. Looks like scratch golf. -Do you believe that? -I like making people laugh. -Oh. Look at everything. -If I could moonwalk, I'd do it. -Ride the bull around the green. -I heard it through the grapevine. -Desperado. -Shuffle to the door. Joan pried out and count to 4. -I'm back after the dream again at the age of 54. -It's a dream. -I wouldn't wanna be sitting in that office making a ton of dough looking back saying I missed my chance. -It's a dream. -I got some serious debts that need to be paid. -I definitely can out be challenged. -You never know when the Big Break might come off. -It's a dream. -Behind the scenes stuff is priceless. Can you top that? You'll get your chance on the Big Break 2, more on that later in the show. Anthony and Justin have come a long way since their audition. Now it's time to get the big match under way. Back to Treetops where the players will draw to see who has the honor. -Draw ball, gentlemen. Okay. Anthony is number 1. Justin's number 2. Anthony, you have the honor. Please play it away. -Okay. -Gentlemen. Good luck. -Thank you. -Play well. Thanks, Rick. -Thanks. -We both look a little shaky at the start, obviously because we knew what was on the line. -Turn. -Okay. The ball just hit the trees. He thought it would come left. -He's hit the ball towards the left side and is just short of the green to the left, short of the bunker. They're very nervous. You know you can see that. -Get back there. Go. -Good shot Anthony. Get over that hill. -And Justin is just in front here. He's got a little pitch that's not too difficult. He has to go over the front right portion of that bunker and feed it to the hole. He doesn't have to fly it all the way to the hole though. He's hit it then. You know, they're just showing nerves. Lot of nerves here. Now they're both faced with very difficult par putts. Good putt. -Good putt. -That's good Anthony. -Justin is faced with another downhill. -Anthony 5, Justin 5, match is all square with 17 holes to play. -It's 4 bad shots. Hit a mile away early. Oh, this is a nice par 3 here. -Blow it. Look. -Anthony is starting it right to the center of the green drawing left. Starting center of the green and he's to get up a little bit. It's a good shot. He certainly needs to get this up-and-down because Justin is not gonna 3-putt. -No. -Bite. -A nice shot. -He really misjudged that putt. You know what you get is just the nerve there. It's showing in both players. You know Anthony hit the chip long by you know 70 feet and Justin's looking good and he just misjudged his speed. -Yes. That was not a good putt. -No. For 3. Excellent. Well, now it's back on Justin. -Anthony 3, Justin 3, the match remains all square, 16 holes to play. -Good round. -Yes. -How were the hands? I could see a little bit of nerves working there. You're just getting started. What were the nerves like, Anthony? -It's in a good on the range, like usual. But it's always a different story especially when you get to a place you really never been before. You know what I mean. So definitely it was. The swing's the same. The shots are different. So it shows you it's more about the nerves than anything else. -The handshake is the hard pitter patter. Did the butterflies start to fly in the tummy, Justin? -Absolutely. If they didn't, we wouldn't be enjoying it. You know I think that's the bottom line and it felt great, have a feeling so nervous on that first tee knowing what's on the line and we obviously got off to a pretty shaky start, but you know it's just one-on-one. So it's obviously we're even there through the first 2 holes. And I think we started to settle in a little bit after that and we're trying to enjoy the round. -Okay. We're all square through 2 holes as Justin said and we're off to a break, but we wanna remind you to log on to the golfchannel.com and tell us who you think will win those 4 precious Canadian Tour exemptions, Anthony or Justin? You're weighing in heavily on Justin's side right now but stick around. The theatre's great. -Coming up next on the Big Break season finale. We take a look back at the more memorable roommate moments. -Tell you Randy will really gonna miss my coffee in the morning. -And the final match takes a turn as the first birdie is made. -Oh, he made it. -Oh. -What a great putt. -Will it be Anthony or Justin? Who takes one step closer to the 4 Canadian Tour exemptions? Stay tuned when the Big Break season finale returns. -Oh my God. -Good omen, bad omen. -No omen. -Oh man. Oh man. -I woke up this morning, found a nice big surprise. -One shot good. -Did I do that? -Did you do that? -Hey Jeff. What's this? -Guys, I don't really know how to start this conversation. -Are we gonna get the answer? -To what happened? -Exactly. -I wanna know it from you. You were there. -I woke up and it was there. Well, he saw it first and then the last can. -That was Garret's dog. -Actually we renamed the dog Titleist. -I guess it was a pretty good omen. You guys went pretty far in the competition. -I think it was a grizzly bear, honestly. I mean. I was, they're up there. It was hard to carry. -It just so happens that-- -It wasn't human. -Not human at all. And so you're off the hook completely, okay? Craig falling and Justin Peters were the only 2 contestants who previously knew each other. Imagine being forced to bunk with competition you've never met before in tight quarters under pressure-filled conditions. That was the case for our contestants. Here now are some of the great interactions caught on tape. -We've got the bunk house here and this is where you're gonna be staying. And what I'd like you to do right now is just grab your stuff, your clubs and your bag and find your name and find your roommate, get to know him a little bit. -Hi buddy. -What's going on man? -Where's the airconditioning? -Yes. I hear you. -Come on in. -We've got a Sony flatscreen bro. -Alright listen. There ain't no bunk beds, there ain't no nothing of that touchy feeling stuff. -We get to sleep beside each other. Oh ain't that sexy. -You know I know I snore so I was just, you know I was just hoping I didn't do it too loud that I didn't scare them off. -I get one of the old guys though. But hey, deal with it. -But I talk a lot. There is no doubt about that. But he's a different type of talker. -About 290 it's about my average, none better. -290? -That's the average, that's it. -58 years old. I hope I can get the club back. -The last term up with Lindsey. -Oh we got Charles, getting ready to go. This is-- -Wait, wait. I was running late this morning. Oh my goodness. I've never had my sexy body on television. -It's kind of hard to believe that you can form such tight friendships so quickly. You meet a bunch of guys and you hang out together and 24/7 you're together. -Salute. -Cheers. Have a fun week hopefully longer. -Geared for shore. -That geared for shore? -Hey. How long did you take you to be here today? -1.3 seconds a little slow. -And Anthony, how deep is that rough? -Yes. That's a little rough you got out there. -I don't think he liked my coffee too well though. He said it was too strong. -You know what's there to say it, but I'm bringing you home tomorrow. -Lovely wife. -It really is. There was nothing phony. Everybody got along really well. -Oh my. Precious moments caught on tape, fellows. Alright, Steve. Here's your shot to get Anthony back, rooming with the old guy, what's that all about? -Oh, he kept saying it throughout the whole 10 weeks. -Old though, he's an old guy. He's an old guy. -Older. Older. -Garrett. Yes. -I wasn't very familiar. -Yes. -Older. -Garrett Garland actually stood out. Eliminated in episode 1, but boy did he bring some power with him as far as presence was concerned. Steve, you were one of the most outspoken guys in the group about him, as far as what we saw on the air. Can you just-- tell us a little bit more about Garland and what he brought to the table. -He brought nothing to the table, but he brought deception. And my job as a radio host, I have to figure out very quickly through the phone lines, are you friend, foe, or idiot. And it was quick. I met him on Friday. And he started with the head games right on Friday. And I'm sure, come on nod. He did it with everybody. -Everybody. -Oh yes. -Yes. -On the driving range. -Lateral shot. -Speaking you know. Charles has got, he's talking about the shanks on the driving range. At a competition where you know guys are trying to get the 4 Tour exemptions on the Canadian Tour and he's talking about shanks. He was trying to get into people's heads. -Okay. Well, I'm sure it was-- -And he wasn't gonna get mine, and I noticed it first because I think you know this wasn't supposed to be a real reality show as far as alliances. I just go, "This guy's an --." -Okay. Well. -Well, that's live TV I forgot. -Well, moving on. -You got a bleep button? -Moving on, Garrett. It's a very loved name with his friends. We're sure of that. -Hi Garrett. -Randy would love to know your comments and response to Jeff's coffee. -We're both prior military. We all get along. It was great, but Jeff's coffee was mighty strong. -It was good though. -I mean you know you could take the coffee and hold it upside down. It was pretty thick. -And Charles, we had a couple of precious moments there with you caught on tape. I'd love to know about his late-night reading habits. Mark, you were roommates with Charles. He was up late at night. -Well you know Charles is a good student of the golf swing and he knows an awful lot about it, but he'd stay up until 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, studying the golf swing. And one morning, I went to bed around midnight and he came into the room to get something out of his golf bag and you know being half-awake all I saw was a man moving in the room and I jumped him. Picked him up against the wall, and he was like, "It's me, it's me, Charles, it's Charles, this is Charles." -Well a lot of fun was had by you guys. You remember why we're here and it's about the competition. When we left the final match, the competition was all square through 2 holes. Remember, Anthony and Justin are seeing the entire golf course for the first time ever. Let's go back to Treetops and pick up the action at the par 4, 3rd. -Come on, button on the hatches boy. -I did it again. -Hang. -And Anthony's just lost it a little to the right in which you catch the right rough. -The fairway is very large here and he's in good shape. He again has about 150 to the center. -Is it me, Just? -Yes. -Okay. -Turn. -Oh and he hit it too far and in the right putt bunker. -Had a 9-iron in and as soon as I left the club, I knew it was gonna be good and I now it just be the stick felt up here and it almost flew and the hole landed a couple of inches from the hole. -The bunker shot is not that difficult if his lie is good. Came out a little hard on and now looks like Justin is in a position now for the win. -I wanna do it and Justin's 1-up. -Excellent. -Justin 3, Anthony 4, Justin is 1-up with 15 holes to play. -Looks like he's going with a 4-iron. -Jesus. -Big block to the right. That's in deep trouble. Now the door is open now for Anthony. -Pretty good. -God. -He's also left it to the right, heading towards the right-hand bunker. -He's afraid of going over, trying to hit a nice little punch 4-iron and he's got ahead of it and just walk the crap out of it. -That thing was in some nasty stop. You know what you're trying to do there is get it either in the bunker or on the green. -Alright. -Not a bad play. Now if he hits out more solid, doesn't have a chance to hit in the bunker and by a shot, the odds would say no. -Bite. Come on. -Now the door's back open for Justin to get out of this hole with a half. -Bite. -And now, Anthony makes his putt to win the hole. -That's good. -Justin, now got a chance to tie it up. -Justin 4, Anthony 4, Justin is 1-up with 14 to play. -He made a great 4 so I was bummed out that a 4 or 3 I thought would give me the hole and he made a 4, a clutch 4 to stay 1-up. -We have seen our first birdie in the match. Justin is 1-up through 4 holes and Anthony has picked up a few votes along the way. -This might add. -Rick, what do you think of the running poll we have going right now? -Well, I think the blog that Justin hit, he dropped a few votes there. But this is gonna change quite a bit, I suspect. -Log on the golfchannel.com and cast your vote. This poll continues. We'll be back. -Still to come on the Big Break season finale. We revisit your favorite skills challenges. Plenty of clanging barrels, breaking glass and the dreaded clock which fouled up so many. Momentum picks up for one of the finalists as they compete for the 4 Canadian Tour exemptions. Before the turn, can Justin hold on to his 1-hole lead, or will Anthony charge back? All this is next on the Big Break season finale. -Welcome back to the Big Break season finale. We have a Big Breakdown for you. All the hooks. -Monstrosity put up them together. When do you use cameras, a crew of 40 over 200 hours of footage recorded and you just saw a little bit of it. Boy, they had a lot. Temperatures ranged from 85 degrees all the way down to 45 degrees. Now I'm not even sure that includes windshield factors of tin cans of tobacco. I wonder who's responsible for most of that. Okay. We had some neat skills challenges some that involved playing under the clock and team challenges. Craig, I'd love to ask you about the time, how challenging were they? -It was horrible with the clock. I didn't relax since single event I think anything that was timed and I did not perform well on those events but there weren't elimination challenges, thank God. -Yes. Thankfully. Jon, how was playing under the clock for you? -The people who know me personally know that I'm a slow golfer. I'm a slow player. And throughout college, it was kind of one of my Achilles heels and then going to the TV show, I guess my attitude changed. I just said just go up there and just do it as fast as you can, try to do as rhythmic as you can, just let it flow naturally and actually got lots of success by doing it that way. -There were some pretty cool team challenges and man Jeff you had some wheels in that one running challenge. What was it like playing on a team and relying on another competitor and then trying to eliminate him the very next round? -I tell you. I would have wanted anybody any different. I felt we had a great team and it just didn't work out the way that I wanted it to but you know it's kind of interesting when I first started my journey up that hill after I've gotten to the ball, it's like my first 3 steps, I didn't even move. It was like straight uphill. I said, "Good Lord, I'm not even going anywhere." So I put my head down and just gave it all I had you know. But it was great. -Well, the creators of the Big Break felt it was crucial that all the elimination challenges were true golf tests, but the skills challenges contained more game-like atmosphere and they were as entertaining as they were demanding. Who knew a barrel, a range picker, and a pane of glass could be so cool. -It's a flat shot wall challenge. -Go. -Seriously. -Look at this. -Hey Jan. -We got another extension here. -Got you. -You know, Rick, let me show you how to hit this shot. -Yes. -Look at this shot. -Whoa. -You're gonna have 90 seconds to hit as many balls as you can into the cart. -Yes. -What we have is a 55-gallon drum challenge for you. -It is harder than it looks. It is harder than it looks especially about that clock add a tremendous amount of pressure. -It's pretty intimidating because all of a sudden, boom, boom, there are 2 glasses that broke real fast. -More, if he hits so many balls, it was like he had gone through 40 buckets. -You're gonna tee it up here and if you hit it, you get it. -Yes. -Oh yeah. -Oh baby it's going by. Go. -Boom. -Speed, me, golf, doesn't work. -Come on baby. It'll touch itself right in, like I hadn't ran in a long time. -Yes, baby. -I'm too old for this. -Oh man, the skills challenge has provided outstanding theatre, but it's the final elimination challenge we're focused on tonight. When we last left Justin and Anthony's match, Justin was 1-up. They have holes 5 and 6, so we rejoin them at the par 5, 7th where their golf is heating up. -And he's hit that perfectly down the left center, very solid. -Nice shot. -And very long, that was a long 3-wood. That's perfect. Absolutely large and down the left center there. Perfectly done there. That was a big tee shot. -Use the slope. Oh crap. -Absolutely the thinness of that shot that he hit has just cost him. He's well short of the green and the ball has rolled back down. The door open, advantage, advantage Anthony, big time here. -Be good. It's gotta bite. -Nice shot. -Thanks. -He's faced with a lob shot. That ball actually had rolled all the way down the hill. -Did it again. -And he's hit it then. The door is totally open now for Anthony. He's upset with himself. Look at that pickup. Oh he made it. -Oh. -What a great putt. -Thanks. -I'm finally starting hitting good shots and it was a hard putt and it dropped so that was cool. Kind of got me rolling a little bit. You know, less fear of the speed of the greens. -Anthony 3, Justin 5. Match is all square, 11 holes to play. -Good birdie. Here we go. -Rock on. -We thought that it'd be close. -Match play is more like real sports, momentum's huge. -Where is it? -Go. -Oh that's a great shot. That was a great shot by Anthony. Now he's coming at him, you know. He's got a little confidence and as we found out the last 10 shows or 9 shows, we know what Anthony's like. I mean he'll rip your throat out, because of the chance. And Justin's got to settle down. He's gotta make sure that he stays in good rhythm. -Turn over. -Now that could kick off or it may stay there. I think it's kicking left, there it comes. You know the rough just grabbed it. It's gonna hit the fairway mound. Just like a putting stroke. That's a very good shot right there. -Good shot dude. -Thanks. -Well done. This is a very makeable birdie putt and I'll tell you. Anthony, birdying the last hole and hitting a great shot in here, if he makes this, he's gonna get a little roll here. Two 3s. Match stays square. -Right. We are all square through 8 holes and Rick, this is your first ever design, Treetop. You're seeing 2 men do fierce battle on this golf course. Did you suspect that either one of these men would come out and just dominate this course right away, never really seeing it fully? -It's hard to do. A lot of great players have played there and the first time that you played it, there are some nuances and there's some subtleties that you're really not aware of. And I think missing the ball on the proper spot is really critical in this golf course. And you can see it here with Justin how he's hit a few bad shots and all of a sudden Anthony starts to get it going and the one thing if your ball striking is good, then you got a big advantage. But still if you hit it in the wrong side of the green, you've got some really tough putt, so. We'll see what happens. -You've watched these guys throughout all of the shows preparing for this moment, Katherine, what was it like for you to sit back and watch them do battle like this? -I was feeling very nervous for them, you know. These guys have become family to me now, but I really got a sense that they were starting to settle down, get into a little bit of rhythm and tempo for themselves and [unk] as Rick just said. So it was really getting exciting. -Alright. Well then it's exciting. We're all square through 8 holes and we are just about to make the turn. Don't go anywhere. -Coming up next on the Big Break season finale. An unexpected turn of events for Justin. -I looked down at my hand and it looked like it was bent. -Will the back 9 and the 4 Canadian Tour exemptions belong to Anthony? Stay tuned when the Big Break season finale returns. -The Big Break is something that I would have loved to play in. I think it's exciting. We're down to what, 2 people now and one of those people will be on the Canadian Tour next year. And you know I'll make a bet that whoever gets it will do very well. -Pretty cool. -Thank you. -Letters, compliments from our chairman of the Golf Channel. Ernie would've loved to have played in the Big Break. There isn't a better compliment than that. You can be a part of the Big Break 2 in the fall of 2004. Log on to the golfchannel.com if you're an aspiring professional and maybe your dream will come true. Mark Farnham, I have to turn to you now. You used more angles in this competition than the Black Widow in a billiards pool game. I mean you were working it. -Well you know I showed up at the competition. I think a lot of these guys showed up thinking on the first day. You know we're all sizing each other, thinking you know what, "I'm gonna be there at the end." I know Anthony was saying, "I know I'm gonna be one of the guys in the end." I looked at this thing and said, "I gotta figure out a way to survive every single one of these challenges." You know I approached every one of the competition like that. And when anybody gave me a little bit of room to get in like my roommate Charles gave me a little bit of room to get in and hit that putt through the green. That was the name of the game of the competition. So I was a bit more scheming than I wanted to be, but you know when the door was open you know I tried to slide on through it. -You provide an inspiration for a lot of people who might wanna be a part of Big Break 2. Charles, what advice do you have for people who'd like to be a contestant for that show? -Well I would say is get out, practice, prepare, have fun and just basically just enjoy yourself. Whatever you're doing, just enjoy yourself and just don't look at it as something that may cause you problems or something good. Just look at it as one of the greatest things you'd ever do in your life. Like me, as I, you know I was eliminated but still yes, it's been the greatest thing I've ever done in my life. And just enjoy that. And I think they'll get a lot of love out of it. -Alright. Well, 4 Canadian Tour exemptions are on the line in our Big Break season finale thus far. Anthony Sorentino and Justin Peters are all square through 8 holes of match play. In this visit, Treetops, a scary moment unfolds. Let's head out to the par 4, 9th. -Ball. -Thanks. -He's just ripped it down the right center, draw it back perfect. -Hang. Alright. -Coming down that left side. -It's great. -That fairway? -Yes. -No. Left rough. -Left rough. -Between the bunkers. -Advantage again. Anthony being in the fairway but basically with Justin down the left side, he has a chance that obviously knocking on the green, hit it close but it really depends on the lie. -Be a stick. Left a little. -Get tight. Shot. -Oh that's tremendous. That guy. He's in a beautiful golf shot here. -Stay there. Stay. -That could be really tight. Almost flew in the hole. -Stay. -What a great shot. Great shot by Anthony. He's got in there tight. He's obviously been a lot of confidence the last few holes. Justin is obviously in a must-make position here, or the match will be turning in Anthony's favor. -Pressure player. -Justin 3, Anthony-- -You know Justin is not gonna give anything away. He's just conceded. They've tied with birdie. -You won't give it to me unless you knew you're gonna make it stop. -Alright. Good front side, paddle back. -You think he shot even, I shot one over and the match is square, so. -This 9, it's gonna boil down to a couple of things. Justin getting his driver in play. He's got a par 5. He's hitting driver. -Okay. -And we have Anthony who's driving well beautifully. So it's gonna really boil down to putting and driving. -Stand it. Stay short. -He's driven it over the bunker to the right. -That's me. -Anthony has hit the ball on the right bunker and Justin has hit it in the long fescue. So we'll see what kind of lie Justin's got. -Nasty. -Oh, that was just an absolutely perfect fairway bunker shot. People at home need to learn from that one. You know Justin you can see, he can't even see his ball. He'll be taking the sand wedge and hacking it out. -Good one. -You alright? -Right at impact, that grass just grabbed the club. I felt something pop, a sharp pain real quick and then I just started feeling a little dizzy. I looked down at my hand and it looked like it was bent. -All the drama. -I think it's fine. I think I just heard a pop and it just freaked me out. Didn't hurt, just looked weird and then it felt weird. And the next swing was pretty scary. I had to get a 3-iron. You know I didn't know if something was gonna give or at impact, what was gonna happen and I fanned it off to the right. It didn't hurt. -Good. I'll tell you. It could carry over that ridge and it did. And I'll tell you, he was fortunate that it did. -Yes. -Another beautiful lie. -I mean he's got it in a really good shot. It was a huge miscue missing right there. -Fantastic. -Fantastic shot, dude. -Thanks. Thank you. -It's really not a bad putt. It's really what he needed to do. And he just kind of cozied it up. It's got about 2 and a half feet left in the hole. Justin must make you know. He used to make this. He doesn't wanna be 1-down going to the back 9 here, going to 11. -And safe. -Fantastic. -Thanks. -I'll tell you. That's gonna keep him in the ball game. Oh, got a good putt by Anthony. -Anthony 5, Justin 5, Match remains all square. 8 holes to play. -Things are really intensifying out there. Justin, you hurt your wrist. I can imagine what was going through your mind. At the moment of impact, and you managed to have the hole. It must have been inspirational for you. -I was huge for a momentum. I mean it was a very scary moment for me because I heard a pop and a sharp pain real quick and I may at least thought the match was over and I was worrying about you know the next week's tournament. I'm not gonna be able to play. How am I gonna make money to pay my bills and it just it really freaked me out. I had a million thoughts going through my head in about 3 seconds. And to get up and down and to tie the hole and just you know, luckily I was still okay. You know I mean serious things you see people break their wrists all the time in that kind of deep grass. I was very fortunate that it wasn't anything serious. -And the match went on. I'm sure you wouldn't want him to go down that way, Anthony. Guys, what do you think of the match so far? Randy it's a good one, isn't it? -It's awesome. It was awesome to see 2 guys battle like that. -Alright. Well we have plenty more to come. Game is on. Still ahead Anthony. Will he capture his first lead of the match and who will be forced to play provisional ball? Who is going home with 4 Canadian Tour exemptions? Log on to golfchannel.com to cast your votes. -It looked like you're really trying to rip it. Your feet were off the ground at impact. -Yes. It almost came out of your shoes on that one. -That's what they tell me. -It's coming out of his shoes. -I told you. Both cheeks. It didn't help. -I was putting both cheeks in it buddy. -Now laying out. Hey. I don't know. I couldn't get the club handle around on it. It just like you know, get on through there. But it wouldn't do it. It would not do it. -Alright, Jeff. Some unique action there. Alright. You proved them that you guys actually helped each other throughout this show. Some of the guys tried to give you tips. Did they stick? -Obviously not. But you know one thing I have taken back home with me is the experience and just knowing to swing within myself. I think Rick pointing some good things out for me. It's like, "What are you doing?" Just do what you know how to do. And I think a lot of times when we're getting situations in which we're not familiar, the bad things come out, but we can always draw from what we know is right. You know the skill, the part, to just stay within ourselves and you know that's all it takes. -Which takes the question, which swings held up best under the pressure, Rick? -Well, I mean if you look at the competitions, it really varied you know from competition to competition. Obviously Anthony and Justin were there. I looked at Craig, I looked at really Jon. Jon was doing very well and swinging well, but he had a shot and it bounced crooked and kind of got the bad end of the deal there. Randy was hitting it good all week. He really didn't hit a bad shot until it got kind of cold. So you're not used to that cooler weather. -You wanna tell me what doesn't get that. -That's right. Well we had a fluke, cold front came through there and it was just unbelievable, but it really brought out the whole game. And I think a lot of people realize how hard it is to play. Obviously down here in Florida you don't have to deal with that. You don't go outside, so. But people that come up north or go to play golf, they're out there and they're gonna grind it out and it's tough especially when there's a lot on the line. So it really varied. -Compliments to your swing from Rick Smith, one of our Troubleshooters. -I'll take it. -That's right, man. Now you upon your elimination went back to your cabin, started to pack your bag and sorry I couldn't help but notice all those beautifully perfectly unwrapped shirts in your bag. What's that all about? -Got to be dressed to impress, that's all. No, I just start at an early age. I mean I always take a lot of pride in whatever I do. Whether it'd be playing golf or whether it'd be going down the street, whether it'd be, just always being thankful for the little things in life. And I've always been happy so needing my experience to even get chosen for the Golf Channel, I knew it was gonna be a special experience. It's gonna be an awesome experience. -You're a classy guy, Jon. -Yes. Craig. Nice words to Jon Roddy there. I mean Craig now on the other side of the coin, you were on the fence that seen a lot. You're in a lot of these playoffs. -You think? -Yes. Do you think that you lasted longer than you've thought you should've or was it the opposite? Did you stay as long as you think you should? -I didn't go in there with any ideas of how I was gonna do. I just went in there. I know golf a sport where you take it one shot at a time. You can't let it go much further than that. So I didn't have any expectations because if I did, if I did think that I wasn't as good as some of these guys, maybe I would've gone earlier. I went in with a blank mind and just did the best I could from day to day. -You went pretty far. -Yes, I was proud. -Third man left. Alright. When Craig Pawling was finally eliminated, only Justin and Anthony were left. It's time to head back to the dramatic match that is currently all square through 10 holes. Justin has been struggling off the tee, but his short game has stood the test. We pick up play at the par 3, 11th. -The wind was blowing hard left. -Right over it. -I tried to start it right and get it in there. I had it traveling left. That's my first bad shot in a while after I'd actually start playing a little better. -Oh, it's time for Justin to take charge again. He's been really flipping, flip-flopping back and forth, yes. Opportunity, you've gotta take advantage of that opportunity. -He hit the ball a little thin here. -No. He hit it a little thin. It looks like he's in one of my little back bunkers that are about 5 feet. They're very tiny little bunkers. -He's not happy with you right now. -Wow. -The shot is the Phil Mickelson flop. I don't know what kind of lie he's got up there, but it doesn't look very good. -It's off. Bite. -I'll tell you what? Pretty good chip shot and that's good as he can do from there. Really tough bunker shot. He's got it, just landed on the fringe and just let it trickle to the hole. Oh, that was awesome. -Incredible. -Absolutely awesome. -Incredible. -That's good. -That's as good as it gets right there, folks. Well, here we go. Anthony's gonna make or Justin goes 1-up, going in there, hole 12. That match goes to Justin, 1-up as we go to the 12th. And that's lost. Jesus, Justin. -Hang. -That's the trouble. I'll tell you what? Anthony, the door is wide open. I think you can see a good tee shot from there. And he did, a perfect sweeping drop. -Wow, beautiful. -And ball in. That's a Titleist 1 with red lines next to the 1. -He decided to look for a nice, running to help him and actually I was standing by Rick and it was just in the middle of the low bush and he lashed it out. -How good is that? -Anthony's in a position here at 140 yards to stiff it. -Stay right there and get down. Get down. -You know what? I was gonna hit wedge there and I ended up swinging the 9 and it was still, I ended up short, had too much club I was trying to get it somewhere in the middle of the green. -Justin has gotten out of trouble. I mean fantastic what he's done. I mean to get it to this point from that lie. -Incredible. -He's got 75 yards to go. -Okay. -This is a key up-and-down if he can do it. Short. -Oh. -Anthony's in a position to make a 2-putt to-- -Tie it up. -To tie it up. The ball breaks a good 3 and a half feet to the right. -And he was gonna make 5 so, pretty much had the hole 1 after the tee shot. -That's good. -Are you sure? -Yes. -Match is all square, 6 holes remaining to play. -You know just for a minute there, I really thought you were going up to check it. I really did. Very kind of you. What do you think about the match that guys this is really tight? -It's great. -I mean it could go either way. -Just starting and has been hitting golf shots too. -The golf seems to be getting a little bit better. -So. Yes. -In the course, obviously they're seeing the full course for the first time. You have to admire what they're going through. -I think it was very special just to play golf. No, we didn't get that opportunity any of us here besides those two. -That's a great point. -In fact a little jealousy there, Randy. -I'd like to play golf. -Yes. -Two of you play golf. Alright, guys. We are headed down the home stretch. Still ahead, we'll finish the match and what would the Big Break be without a big twist. We have a big surprise waiting for the contestants. The answer is inside this envelope on our way to break. A message from Plugged In's Peter Jacobsen and Matt Griesser. -We're here on the set of the All Jake Team Award show. Matt and I have been giving out some huge awards and I know that somebody tonight is gonna get a huge award, the Big Break. I love the show. -Well, you got Anthony and you got Justin. You had Anthony a little bit more brash, a little bit more willing. -I'm a golfer. -Yes. -And I feel their pain, but I also feel their excitement. I wish both of you guys the best of luck. May the best player win. It's hard to decide who's gonna win. -That is very sweet. That's very sweet. -Here's what's gonna happen. Anthony and Justin are gonna duel it out. I'm looking for it. I'm thinking, I'm thinking Justin's gonna be the player to pull it off. Let's just use that because I think that works. -I'm not going with any favorites because I know how tough it is. -You know what? You can't decide anything. You don't even know where do you wanna go to lunch today. -Somebody's got to lose but you know we're certainly not pulling against him. We know somebody's gonna have to be last and we're all praying it isn't us. -It's not gonna be me. I mean I'm telling you right now. I am not gonna be the first one to go. -No, it's a little depressing but you know it's still okay. -Yes. -I just didn't do as well as I should have. That's all there is to it. They outperform me so they win. -You are a big star. Keep on the path and don't let anyone stop you from reaching your goals. -That's regards Mark. That's pretty tight. I like that. You all gotta give me a second if I don't look up at the pin. He's a good guy. -And that's what it is. If you can't hit the green, you can't hit the green. -If you're looking for sad, you ain't gonna find it here. I had a great time. I had a great time, figured I may be maybe even get one more round but I'm not as good as these guys. -I executed that shot the way you're supposed to. I mean it was coming in fine and we just took it, rolled to the left and rolled about 13 feet, you know further than it's supposed to, instead of just going to the right. -I believe very strongly that Jon Roddy has a very big future in golf or entertainment or anything he wants to do and I knew how much this break meant to him. -My dad is pretty sick. It's been bad for him for the last 2 months. And so, that's been tough more than anything else. Yes. I'd like to just showing it for pops but I've been trying it pops. -This has been an opportunity of a lifetime. -Let's go home, Jeff. Let's go home. -Maybe I get the guys to sign this for me. -Great. -Fellows, one more time. Ready, 1, 2, 3. Big Break. -Not too strict partner. -Thank guys. -I stood over that wedge shot in the fairway and I hit the best possible shot I could hit and I missed the putt. And that's golf. -I tried to hit 5-iron, cold, rainy, I'm frozen. My hands are like numb. -He's just got a huge heart. You know he's been through a lot in his life. I mean he's gone through a lot of adversity and it hits you when you see someone like that, that emotional. -You're pretty emotional. -Yes. -I'm talking. -No. -I think I hit some good putts; I really did. I think I had 3 maybe 4 that touched the hole and 1 that kind of almost went down in, some people said. -Thanks for the bunk house the last time. -I have 2 weeks off. You're not to stop and look at the bank account and see if I can keep going on the British Tour or if I have to go back to a mix of day job and playing and practicing and train to save that money for next year's tour, so. We shall see. -Every time you heard that music, you know it was time to say goodbye to someone. Does it bring back vivid memories watching that piece, Craig? -Yes. It's harder to watch each time. I watch it now. I've seen it a few times. -Katherine, Garrett was eliminated in episode 2. He was the first to leave and it's obvious that he rubbed some of the guys the wrong way. But maybe what were some of the moments that you might have shared or just noticed about him that maybe his departure was a little too soon for him? -Well, I mean I think the Big Break is obviously about golf but it's also about personalities and chasing the dream. And he had a dream just like all these guys sitting here and no I guess that's why there's chocolate and vanilla. Some people just don't get along, but. You know I found him to be gracious towards me and you know that's just the way it goes. -Sarge, Randy, it's tough to see a guy like you be that emotional. I'm sure it was hard for you to watch just then. -Oh yes. -Why were you so emotional? What did it mean to you? -That meant a lot to me, you know. But that's the game of golf. We all came there to do something and I failed to do what I set forth to do. But I'll tell you one thing about Garrett is he had game but he just left early. -Yes. -Jon, when you said your goodbyes to the camera, to the viewers who loved you very much, you mentioned that your dad was ill. -Oh yes. -How's he doing? -Proud of me actually going to the competition. My dad was diagnosed with cancer. So, my whole thought process for the last 6 or 7 months, even year, has been a lot different than most people. So actually getting the invite to the show, I looked at that as a huge opportunity just to get a chance to showcase my talent on TV and to be a part of you know something that I grew up in watching you know the Golf Channel when I was 12 or 13 years old, when the company was only 8 years old now. But in going on the show I just took it as, "Hey, this is a chance to play in front of the whole world and get a chance to hit some shots that I may never get a chance to do again." And only I was really proud was and it made me most happy about is that I hit some great shots, had some good moments, even though they get a bad break, you know you gotta keep going forward, you know. It's not really how you start the race, it's how you finish. So I just gotta keep going, keep on pushing. -Our thoughts are with you and your father. -Thank you. -Charles, we saw some tears well up in your eyes aside from your sexy body that made television a few times. Did your departure cause you to reflect on maybe where you stood in life and maybe a lost opportunity that was? -Well, I actually you know each and every day I always reflect on life, you know. I talk to my wife quite often and we always talk about where life is gonna bring or where we're gonna go in life. And yes, I was very emotional and then the problem was is that not so much about winning or losing. To me it was about having an opportunity to do something like this because I can. As I said before, I can remember when I was in college and I was in a nice little small low roach-infested apartment and I was broke, and I had a couple of golf balls and the tees. And I said, "Man, I want to be a professional golfer." It was something that I love to do and then I turned around and here I am on the Big Break and as I said if I have accomplished nothing else in the game of golf, you can ask for nothing more than this. This is the greatest. -You may have been broke but you are rich in personality. -Oh. -That is for sure. This competition brought out the best in all of the contestants, 2 men who managed to escape the emotional goodbyes are still doing battle on the golf course for the Canadian Tour exemptions. In this particular visit to Treetops, the match is all square. We go to the 13th. -Anthony's in a good mode here. He's driving the ball beautifully. Now he got a little in front of that. You could see his body did not rotate well there. -The good drives I was hitting, I was turning over and it looked like you could pick up a few yards if you took down the right side, mustn't go over the trees and I thought it ran the tree line. One official said that it hit a tree and bounced in. -Now, he's going on reserve here. -Low stingers from here on out. Get into play. -That was a 4. -The key's gonna be with Anthony. Boxed it right. Has he lost his ball? Is it in the deep or did he get a good kick? Let's go find out. -Okay. -Where is it? I looked for it for a minute but I've really didn't want to find it. I mean my vision was the middle of the fairway. -Why didn't I aim further left? Strut through it dart. At least put a lot of pressure on him again. Get right. Right! -Oh it's over the-- -I can see. -And the match is now Justin is 1-up as we go in the hole 14th. -Coming up next on the Big Break season finale. Justin battled back after an injury almost took him out to take the lead in the competition for the 4 Canadian Tour exemptions. Can Anthony make a run or will Justin hold on and get his Big Break. All these and plenty of surprises when the Big Break season finale returns. -Guys, I want you to play along with me here. How do we come up with these names? I can understand where Sarge came from but where's Lucky come from, Jeff? -I don't know if Lucky is even the right word for it. -Could you pick number 1 all the time? -I know talk show. I could probably understand Garrettol at 58 years old, but how about Seeing Money? -Seeing Money. Where's that? Is that just the-- -That's Charles. Yes. -Just one of those military thing. You see money, you go for it. -Mark Farnham came in already nicknamed Moose, so I let that one slide for now. We know Lefty isn't obvious. Smooth, Justin Peters; Jon Roddy, Flex; Anthony Sorentino, Soda Pop; and Anthony I'm imagining you had a can of pop in your hand just about every other minute you're take into the show. -I didn't come up with that one. I actually called Golf Channel and complained and I said you gotta stop that. My nickname is not Soda Pop. -Okay. When we last left the final match, Justin Peters a.k.a. Smooth was 1-up over Anthony Sorentino affectionately dubbed Soda Pop for 13th hole, 14th was halved. So we go directly to the par 5, 15th. Final contestants are headed down the home stretch. Rick Smith sets the scene on the tee. -Justin's gonna let me at it. Now he's got driver again. Now he's got some things going for him. Pretty open fairway, downwind, it's a par 5. He wants to bust this, believe me. -Okay. -Now that's the tee shot that he's wanted the whole day. That was a pivotal tee shot for him. -Nobody wanted to take control. It seemed like you know every time I felt like I was taking control I gave him one back the next hole. Every time you know, then he wins the hole and then he give me one back. It's definitely emotional grind. -Oh. Oh no. Hit it. Oh no. Just got it? -Oh yes, he got it. -Okay. -If he does not make birdie here, my feeling is Justin will make birdie here. And the match is gonna change. -Yes. -Great shot. -He hit it over the trees. He hit a great shot to get it out of the trees first of all. He made a great shot to get it back in play. He's probably gonna make birdie. That's what I was thinking and I'm standing there with 7-iron. It's alright. This is it. Let's put one good swing on it. Let's just stuff one in there. Let's make an eagle and you know eagles are hard to beat. -Oh, be the stick. I love it. Love it. -And I think he's hit an outstanding shot. -Thank you. -Now the heat's back on Anthony. Anthony is fighting. He's fighting hard. He has to make 4 basically. He has to make an up-and-down from there or he goes 2-down. He's blocked it a little bit, but it could be right. -Oh no. -Well, he's in trouble. You know Anthony is disappointed right now. This is a tough thing for him. A must make right now. Oh, he hit it thin. -Wow. -It doesn't look like it's gonna be enough. -Concede. -Thanks. -Good shot. -Thanks. -He's picking it up. He's conceding the eagle putt and Justin goes 2-up. -I'm 2-down with 3 to go. I mean you can't get them all in 1 hole. So if you push, you know you put yourself in a worse spot anywhere the hole before, but it's not the end of the world. -Justin is obviously taking a smart play here. He's 2-up. He has 3 holes to play and he's going with a long iron. He's right in the middle of the fairway. Anthony's also gonna be playing a long iron and he just wants to keep it in the fairway. Nice little draw, long iron, in good position to make a birdie. -I gotta just win a hole. I gotta win a hole, pronto or else this match is over. -Anthony must hit a good golf shot. You don't wanna be 2-down with 2 to go. -And the wind, just eat that up. -Justin knows if he stuffs it, he hits a great shot in there, makes birdie, the game's over probably. This shot is going left of the flag. You know again a little bit, maybe a little too conservative. It's spinning but he didn't hit it far enough. Now, he's in a 3-putt environment there. -Playing left to the hole was good, but the ball spun back a lot. He's got a long putt so we got a putting contest. -Did you make it on me? Let me lag mine up there and I'll give it to you. I actually hit a decent shot in there too. I had a decent, like it's just pretty much anywhere you hit it unless you step that was gonna be breaking hard where that flag was. -A must-make right now. -Oh, he made it. -But it looks like Anthony is actually still away and Justin is feeling pretty good right now. -Yes. -Good putt. -Justin 4, Anthony 4, Justin is gonna need 2. -Wow. What a clutch, 3-footer by Anthony to hang in only 2 holes remain in regulation and the match can still go either way. Stay tuned to crown a winner and to see the unveiling of our big surprise. It's inside this pack. The guys are asking me to tell them what it is and I won't do it. Big Break season finale continues in just a moment. We have seen it all in the big finale. Clutch saves, crucial birdies, dramatic turns and best of all solid gamesmanship. But this seesaw affair has come down to the wire with 2 holes remaining in regulation. Anthony Sorentino is 2-down but not laying down. -Justin right now knows that if he ties this hole, he's the winner of the Big Break. -Oh, it's a good-looking shot, kid. -Be a stick, one time. -Be the number. -He's just hit the shot of his life. -Oh man, gonna be tough. -Just hit it dead solid perfect to where I was aiming and it came up on you know 12 feet short of the hole. -I was thinking you know I'll make birdie here. -I just chopped it. I mean I absolutely hit about as bad of a golf shot as you can hit. -Anthony is trying to create a shot. He's put himself in a really bad situation. He's in the bunker underneath the tree. He really doesn't have much of a chance. And he knows he has to hold it or the match is over. -Yes, heads up everyone. I know it's a tough stance. This could come out f
