TRANSCRIPTS

-Previously on the Big Break IV. -This is the first time we are...

-Previously on the Big Break IV. -This is the first time we are all participating in an elimination challenge and became head-to-head. -The pressure field elimination challenge became an emotional roller coaster for Marty. -I was just completely gone. All this stuff was going through my head. It was horrendous. I was in the worst frame of mind ever. -Randall needed a miraculous feat to avoid elimination. -I've had hole in 1 before. I know it's possible. -Ugh. This was not my particular Big Break. -The final 2 Americans watch as the remaining Europeans battle it out as individuals on the Big Break IV: USA vs. Europe. -Yeah, I'm awake. Alright. I'm good. -That makes one of us. -It is just Paul and I left on the Team USA side and there are 4 of them. -Has the Europeans ever been late for tea time? -Might be right on time a couple times. -Thomas is here. -That'd be [unk] for you guys. -The Europeans knew somebody was going home. -Morning, Marty. -Morning, guys. How's it going? -Good. -Think he got [unk]. -Healthy. I know it's hard to believe. -But can you see this back there, though? -Here we go. -One of us is going home. -Or 2. -Or 2. -God, there really is someone gonna be leaving. Tomorrow morning one of us won't be here. -The last all 4 of us have breakfast together anyway. -One of us is gonna go and then get on with it. -I don't wanna get too emotional about seeing people go at this stage now because it's the point where you know, I'd rather that someone else went than I did. -Strong wind. -[unk] is a definite. -It's not a day-off. -There's a very good potential probability or prepared that you might play today. -So, we're ready. -Gents. -Morning. -There they are. Down to our final 6. We're coming off a very emotional show. No question about that. Now let's review. Team USA. Paul, TJ. Congratulations. You're down to the final 2 and that means one of you is guaranteed to represent Team USA in the Big Break IV Final. As for you Team Europe, 4 players remaining and that means you will now all be involved in individual competition as we pair down to the final 2. So I wonder if you have ever shared conversations regarding the fact that you're now gonna have to turn against this guy, try to knock him out. Thomas? -I mean we're all good players, so I mean everyone's worthy to be a winner at this stage and I think, hopefully the best person will come through and win it. -Guys, that's something that just goes unsaid. -I did hear him shout something in his sleep last night. I'm gonna get you. No, I did not. Like Thomas said so, we've been getting on well, but like you said it's individual now, so it's not-- you don't single anyone out and think I'm gonna beat him. You just play your game. If it's good enough, it's good enough that's what I said. -Right. Now, Warren you've been kind of a mentor to the younger players and a guiding voice throughout and I'm sure you'll continue to do that, but your role has to change a little bit doesn't it when you're trying to survive? -Yeah. Well, I'm gonna just try my best like all the guys are going to and you know, we're still friends, so we're still gonna like you know, give each other support to win the best golf to and not the worst golf to go out. -TJ, if you had to pick 1 person that you thought would be in the finals with you, who would it be? -Oh, geez. -I'm putting you right on the spot early. -You are. Everybody's a great player. You know I'm gonna kinda run around the [unk]. -Oh, no, no. We're gonna make, we're gonna force you. Just pick a name. -Pick a name? -'Cause I know in your head, I mean you had enough time to check out everyone's game. -I tell you Guy's got a great swing and I'll leave it at that. -Okay. -Alright. -Paul. What about you? -I believe the player that's the sharpest right now is Guy. He's the most on his game. -To hear that from those guys is a great compliment, but then you start thinking, well you know now the pressure's on me 'cause everyone's expecting me to perform now because of what they've said. -Don't forget, we're playing for European Tour exemptions. One to the Celtic Manor Wales Open 2006, which is the Celtic Manor Resort also side of the 2010 Ryder Cup. And Bridgestone is offering an endorsement contract to the winner. So we have a lot to get to today. By the end of the day, the 6 will be down to 5. Our first challenge awaits. Let's get to it. -Let's go. -I'm a very hit and miss putter. Sometimes it's really hard and there are times like I can just miss from anywhere. -If you are out first obviously that is a huge advantage to the other guys who watch your line and see how the ball reacts. -I know you're used to birdies and eagles of a different kind. Well, tonight let me introduce you to another kind of birdie and eagle. This is Adrian Hogarth. He's an expert in the Falcons. -Now this little fellow is a bird commonly used in a sport called Falconry. Falconry sir, a sport that dates back 4,000 years. It's a sport of hunting with birds of prey. -It flew up to the top balcony and Marty's just standing right there and all of a sudden, the trainer stands behind him and shows a little food. -[unk] like view of the wall. -Woah. -Now you weren't brave enough. -Oh, it's just flying right there. -Train falcons and they'd release them and they'd fly around and they come right back to their owner. -'Cause he's made-- -The second falcon that we saw, it got up to speed of 180 miles per hour. -So he let of this falcon and it's flying around all over the hotel and it's not popping out the wines. It's-- he's like over the back of the hotel. They all followed him. He's not [unk] fly upon us. -Woah. -And then he came out with this massive, I think it's a Bald eagle they called it. It's like 15 pounds in weight and it was 7-foot wing span. -It had these massive talons and yellow eyes, white feathers in the back of his head. It's cool. It's such a great looking bird and apparently if you look at it too long they don't like it 'cause it's like a threat thing. So I was sort of holding it and it sort of-- I have never looked at it right [unk] not again. It's just-- I was not looking very much. -Another great experience by Dewar's brought it to us. It was just again another unique experience, so thanks [unk]. -We've all reached in the bag for the umbrellas now 'cause Carnoustie is raining down upon us. Gentlemen you've reached the Immunity Challenge here. We're at the 11th green at the Burnside Links Course and this is your next step. I think it's a testament to the European Team and worth mentioning that you have 4 players remaining and that shows the real strength of all of you as players, so congratulations on that. But by the end of today of course, one of you is gonna be leaving, but that's not on the rope. Let's talk about the challenge at hand. -We have a little putting challenge for you. There's 4 different locations and each of you will putt out from these locations. Thomas, we had a random draw for the order. You'll be putting first at location number 1. Now this order will change as you go around to the different locations. The goal here-- the player with the lowest cumulative score at the end will be immune and will not have to go to the elimination challenge. And you also get a chance at the Ford Prize Challenge. -So gentlemen, you can shorten your day right here with a good performance. Now, before we get to the challenge, we wanna bring your caddie, Adrian out who's going to share us some history about this hole. -This one on the 11th hole, the Burnside Course which is the second course at Carnoustie, and that hole itself is fairly straightforward. It's not particularly long. The [unk] is called "Dils Ha" which loosely translate, it means "Devil's Hole" and it's when you get the green, you'd realize why it's called that. I mean the green has more rolls in the bakery that's cracking onto the glass with [unk]. I mean, you'll have a go here with 2-putt and a 4-putt. But that's challenge, so they'll just have to go on with it. -And get on with it we will. Thomas, your favorite spot, number 1. -That's me. As long as I finish first. It's alright. -That's good. Well, let's grab the blades and let's get to it. -Going left or right? -It's moving left to right. It's no question. We'll move more than what's normal [unk] putt will do. Quite a big break on it. It's all in the pace. -I drew number 1 and it would just slide up. It would slide uphill, left to the right, breaking putt. -If you are out first obviously that is a huge advantage for the other guys who watch your line and see how the ball reacts and things. -We weren't allowed to stand behind him and look at the line, but obviously in terms of pace, it was a fairly [unk] pace. That's the only advantage we'll probably have to have. -One in 4 are uphill. Two or 3 are downhill and I believe that, we're gonna be able to give this one a go. -We're standing there next to Vince and the staff and then they asked you know, what are you thinking? I said at least one will make this. -Just thought somebody [unk] hole this putt. Just that it's so hard. It went like 3 feet by. -I thought it moved left to the right and I just, I mean it was so far past the hole. That was a terrible putt. I had a really tricky downhill coming back. -Good putt. -Well you know Marty's been quite the wildcard in our competitions. We've seen him have his struggles but at the same time he's had flashes of brilliance. -It broke left to right, but then it was a pace putt you know, it was just about getting the pace right. -The way they've set this up, there are difficult putts in every angle and this is one of the putts that's actually one of the easier putts because you're uphill. So I thought you know holing that was huge. -I think it's just extremely important to get the one putt on the first one. Just to apply pressure to everybody else. -They called it the "Devil Hole", so I [unk] what that will bring and it was very quick and very slopey and when you're in for a tough challenge. -Good roll. Good roll, Guy. -Good job. -Guy got up there and went through his routine and he rolled the putt and ended up breaking in dead center. -Good roll. Good roll, Guy. -His demeanor is very even-keeled and went out to take ball out of the hole, and said thank you and moved on. -It was raining and we had practice on the green, but not around the hole, so we were trying against the slopes. -I'm a very hit and miss putter. Sometimes it's really hard and other times I can just miss from anywhere. -I didn't really get the right line, but a good pace and [unk] outside left that hole left and it didn't turn out much, but just rolled by and missed my [unk]. -Thomas and Warren end with 2s and Guy and Marty, [unk] right off of that. -You always wanna jump out to an early lead and put the pressure on everybody else. -There was a long way to go and, but that was the easiest putt. -Downhill, left to right, no one likes that combination and it was slick. Really slick where you knew if you just kill it too much you're gonna face maybe 3 or 4 feet coming back. -Complete contestant bios exclusive video and Big Break merchandise are available online at the GolfChannel.com. -After the first location in the Immunity Challenge, Guy and Marty are tied for the lead. The competitors will now move to the second putting location. -Second putt was probably the hardest of all 4. Second location was the hardest one. It was like 12-feet above the hole. -Whether you know, a reasonable break and had probably about, sort of about 4 breaks, I was downhill, left to right. -I think I'm playing like two-thirds with the way [unk]. He was swinging real slick. -It was a downhill, left or right putt and it was quite fast. -The only thing I didn't wanna do is go for it, leave myself a tough one, 3 putt and then just go back to score 1 again. -You just gotta touch that ball and just roll it down there. You don't wanna leave it short. -At least one of these will be short. Cannot be aggressive. I won't be surprised if it's either Marty or Guy 'cause they're in a position to be able to have that, afford themselves that opportunity. -I wasn't thinking negatively, I was thinking there is a possibility it could go a long way past it, so you know pace was everything. -I allowed too much pace on it and I'm sure that helped the guys after me. It was one of those putts you can't reattack. -Downhill, left to right, no one likes that combination and it was slick. Really slick where you knew if you just kill it too much you're gonna face maybe 3 or 4 feet coming back. -I think [unk] a little work. -I picked quite an aggressive line out. I just didn't hit it hard enough on that line. I just missed it [unk] the way maybe 3 feet past. -That's really solid Guy. Solid. -You cannot have a firm putt. You had let your baby in and hope that the line's correct. -It was like you had 2 putts for it as they say, so you were always gonna say 2 putts, but if it was fortunate to drop in, then [unk] as a bonus. -I don't think it's going to break as much Guys' and mostly break comes with a [unk] 6, 7 inch of double putt. -Great. -Seems like a very quick, hard breaking left to right there. -I like to sort of let those fall in. Play them without a lot of speed. -I'd sorta played it too high as well, so is the tendency on a putt like that. -So after the second location, now it is Marty and Guy at 3. Warren, Thomas at 4 and we move to location number 3. -The third position was, it was actually a little downhill and it was a slider from right to left. -It looked like it was gonna be one of the hardest putts 'cause not only was it downhill, but it sloping right to left. -You know [unk] Adrian there, the caddie, he's given me some idea in line, but at the end of the day he doesn't know how to even hit, so you know it was obvious it was off the right and just a question of how much break you're gonna allow. -Oh, great putt, Guy. -Thank you. -Give them more confidence going forward. -Absolutely, especially putting it first. That was huge. -I think Warren's fought well. It's now or never for him to make this putt. -That was a pretty straightforward putt and I never had to hole it. You have to be quite careful with it 'cause it's just 2 feet past the hole. The slope increase and it would've rolled off quite a bit there. -That was-- -Thanks. -Very good. -Guy made it going first and this was a huge putt. Warren stepped up and he had a very firm putt, played a little less break than Guy, so now everyone is under par expect me and I'm third, so just decided to give it a go and see what would happen. -Great, putt. You guys are making this look easy. -I was surprised of how they all hit their putts. They hit them very solid and they hit the back of the hole. -I don't think [unk] if Marty makes this you know, he was really game on it. -I think I thought about it a bit too much and I didn't hit it hard enough. -We had 3 ones and Marty's 2, so Guy really in the driver's seat right now with 4. -Probably the easiest putt of them all which was uphill, a little breaking, a little right to left. So it was a putt that you could be aggressive with. -You know, [unk] to go through you know I had to make it. -We have reached our final location here and for Guy who's the one putted twice already, another 1 putt basically seals the deal. He's finished for the day. -And the good thing about this for him is he's putting last. He's gonna know exactly what he needs to do and to make it, he makes the putt. He's onto the next show. -Probably the easiest put of them all which was uphill, a little breaking, a little right to left. So it was a putt that you could be aggressive with. -I think 1 and 4 were the easier putts and obviously I was always first in the 4th one. I knew that I need to hole that one to have any chance at all. -I knocked it too hard on the line. I got the line right, but I got the pace wrong. -Just [unk]. -We all would like to [unk] by. -So, [unk] with the total finishes will be total of 7. -He had a decent play. Just hit it a little firm I think and it didn't go in and then I stepped up and you know, [unk] to go through you know I had to make it. -I hit a good putt as well. I just hit it. I think I just hit it too firm, so I didn't really take any break. -Warren just hit the putt just too aggressively, too firm. -Thomas went and again, played like a [unk] he hit a good putt, but again just a bit too firm on that [unk], then Marty went, I don't think he wanted to [unk] make 'cause when one of them's gonna make it. -[unk]. -He gets off base. -When you're standing over, you think, God, this breaks a lot more than that. And it's like you need to trust your line. -I knew if I holed mine it would put him on the pressure. -I aimed it right and then I just hit it too firm. -I knew exactly what I had to do then going last. -It's a mere formality right now. He's gonna finish this off. -Actually I just needed 2 putts to win the challenge and that was comforting, but at the same time you get all sorts of thoughts going through your head. Don't do this, don't do that. -There it is. That's a great job. -The biggest thing is relief knowing that you had strike through. You got the rest of the afternoon off and you can just watch the others battle it out. -You know at the rock, Paul and TJ showered you with praise. Said you're the guy to keep an eye on and you certainly played with a lot of confidence out there. As you one-putted in 3 of the 4 hole locations and you won the Immunity Challenge, so safe and onto the next show. -Not only are you on to the next show, but now it's time for your chance at the Ford Prize Challenge. -Oh, yeah. Yeah. -Ready for that? -I wasn't, but I'm in. Yeah. -Okay. -He had about a 45-foot putt. He was uphill, went over a little hill and then it broke from right to left. -It'd been raining and you know it's just a real difficult putt. -He was pretty confident though, I mean he's carrying over 3 made putts on 3 difficult shots before that, so he's stepping up to that putt with a lot of confidence. -Marty had said he had an epiphany and he thought Guy would hole it. -You had a vision, right? -Epiphany. -I didn't have an epiphany, but I have a feeling that he might hole this as well, I just-- he looked comfortable on that green today. -Alright. At this hole, you've got 1 shot at it. -What I thought was just gonna leave it short 'cause it's pretty slopey up the hill. -He's got a chance. -That was good. -Yeah. -Yes. -Yeah, baby. -Oh, yeah. -When he hit the path, that's good. It looks good. He's got it. -Bang. Straight to the back of the hole. -Going in. -That putt has been begging to go I think. We were so close a few times and it was cool to see him get it. -He's got a chance. -That was good. -Yeah. -Yes. -Yeah, baby. -Oh, yeah. -It was just one of those days when I like [unk]. -Guy, I got something for you. Here you go my friend. Two-year lease on a 2006 Ford Explorer. You made it look easy. Congratulations. -It's just been a dream come true because you know, I'm a struggling player in the [unk] and financially it's tough to buy. -Wow. -It's legendary. -This got be the best day of putting of your life, huh? -This is just 3 guys playing for 2 spots. You only have to beat 1 person. -I didn't feel 100 percent confident [unk] shot. -This Big Break Immunity Challenge was presented by Dewar's 12. Dewar's 12 Blended Scott Whisky. -It's difficult 'cause we've all gotten so well, but at the same time this is what we're here for and you know, we all wanna win it. -I feel like I didn't have to fear the players I was facing. If I hit good shots and good putts, I would be alright. -We know it only takes 1 to start their shots and you're out. As long as you do your best then you can't be disappointed. -Hello, fellas. We have reached the elimination challenge and 2 things have been steady during this show. One, the rains at Carnoustie and 2, Guy's putting. Guy. Six putts. Not only are you immune from elimination and on to the next show, but you also picked yourself up a 2-year lease on a 2006 Ford Explorer, so that's quite a morning. Congrats to you. -Wish I could get more of that one. -You'll be watching alongside TJ and Paul, but for you 3 we have a little something called, pick a shot. -What we have here are 5 different locations and each of you will get to pick a shot of your choice. The 4th location will be a random draw. After you've putt it out from each of the 4 scenarios, the player with the highest cumulative total will be eliminated from the show. So there could be a little bit of strategy here. Think of your strengths of your game and also possible weaknesses in you competitors. We're gonna give you a little incentive though. If you're the outright leader after the 3rd location, you're moving on. You're safe going to the next show. Thomas, we had a random draw for the order. It's your choice. What's the shot? -The flop-shot. -He picked this flop-shot over the bunker which was you know, had potential to be very you know, difficult shot. I mean he could leave it or you could [unk] trap or hit it too hard over the green. I think he's confident with that shot. That wasn't my-- it wouldn't be my first choice. -I chose the one [unk] rough over the green 'cause I sort of, that shot can seem too difficult to me. -It is an easy shot under any other circumstances, but when you got cameras on you need to make it up and down. It's not as easy. -Honestly, I thought Warren was the one that really had to step it up 'cause in my opinion, he wasn't playing to his potential. -I thought Thomas would be fine 'cause he's solid in the last departments and then I thought it would be a battle between Marty and Warren. -This is just 3 guys playing for 2 spots. You only have to beat 1 person. -It was just a simple pitch shot and it sorta gave me a chance to see how the green was and reacting. -Oh. Oh. -Pitched it over the bunker and just sort of wanted it to release out, just didn't have any spin to it, so it released a little further. I had about 4 feet left. -Just give it a nice, smooth swing. It's not a long shot, so just keep it under control and just flop it over over the bunker. -Great shot. -Good shot, Warren. -Great shot. -Great shot, yeah. -After those 2 guys hit solid shots in [unk], it was like they were definitely made up and down. I didn't feel 100 percent confident of that shot. -It's a tough shot to-- I mean 'cause it's a fairly hard risk shot. You have to commit to it and just hit a shot. -Thomas and Warren chose the right way to go about it. They put a back on their stance a little bit. Took a lower loft to the club. -When Marty pulled out, I believe he pulled out a lob wedge or more lofts to the club than they did. He tried to go up and, up and high, up and over the bunker. -He just cleared the bunker. Landed soft, didn't get a lot of roll, so he was faced with kind of a difficult and challenging putt. -Marty was up first. He, what he had 10, 12 feet something along that, and it was a make or break putt for him. -Close to me. [unk] -Potentially huge momentum swinger one way or the other, you know for sure Warren's making 2. -Don't go far off from me, [unk]. -So I thought, well I'm just gonna have to hit this one firm and a couple of inches outside the left. -That was a great putt, Marty. -Good job, Marty. -That's more like it, my boy. -And that was huge. I mean that really gave him some momentum. -It was a real boost for me 'cause it looked like [unk] was gonna go down at that point. -You saw the determination in his face and his eyes and you can tell he meant business and he put a lot of pressure on Thomas' putt then. -Well, good job too. -Thomas were on it first and he holed that too, you know a good putt for the 2 then. -Good job, Marty. -Twos all around on the first location. Just going on to location number 2 now. -It was a shot where if you're ahead, it was the best of the 5. If you're behind, it was the worst of the 5 to have. -This Big Break challenge is being presented to your by the Golf Channel Scottish Experience. If you want a Scottish Experience, log on to the GolfChannel.com and click on travel. -Two was the score from that first location and now we move to location number 2. Warren you chose, you will lead us off. -I picked the 100 yards to the flag. That's about 80 yards to the front of the green. There was a bunker on the right which cut in to the green, but it was-- if you didn't strike it really well, it could go in there. -Where they're hitting from, they couldn't really see the bottom of the flag. There was a hump and a bunker on the way in. That made it deceptive. You can't actually choose the distance. -I'm not only pretty good from that range. I can get quite a bit of control with my sand wedge, put a spin, so you know I was quite confident with that one. -Short. -I hit it just after the pin and it was fading back into the pin, but I just didn't hit it hard enough. It was about 20 feet short. -The [unk] I played that hole and I had a particularly bad shot from around that spot. -It's 100 yards and you hit it out on a fairly decent lie onto a green, so you just need to have a reality check. You know, how many times have I had a [unk] to a green? It's easy. So I just do it. -I didn't quite catch it as well as, well I probably should've hit it. -That was such a good lie. It [unk] slid under it and hit it high on the phase and then past the yardage. -You try to give yourself a good lie and that ball sitting up? You kept it high and above phase. Again that's gonna go up very quickly and I think that's what happened in Marty's case. -From what I understand he was a little fortunate. It kinda rolled around the bunker and just skipped around the edge of the bunker. It was off the green, just on the fringe. Very close to the bunker, so he got a bit of a break there. -A hundred yards, it seems like a-- just a smooth sand wedge. I was trying to just hit it sort of a soft cut and just about 5 feet left to the pin. -I just hit it a bit hard. I fold it, I think a little and maybe even a little adrenaline got the better of me and it just flew on me. -Thomas just his percentage shot in there. Looks a bit-- a little bit long in the air and we all thought it'd gone over the grid but once we got out there, it was fine. It was just off the putt [unk]. -Thomas really, not in a battle shape back here. He's able to putt the ball. Pretty straightforward [unk]. -It was on the back fringe. It was about 30 foot-- it had a big break from left to right. -He's hitting on [unk] characteristic putt for him. I mean he left himself 4 feet out back. So I was very surprised there. -What about Marty's lie? He could [unk] 8th in there? -He is up against the fringe, but it's not that bad. I mean, it shouldn't affect the shot. He's able give a putter on it. -His ball was up against the second cut, so a very unpredictable putt what it could actually do. -He was just a phase [unk] 'cause I knew it was right to the left. -There's the hole. -Get in there. -Massive. It was huge. It was such a-- I gave a bit of a reaction. -Get in there. -Unbelievable. -He's a streaky player. I mean, he'll hit a bad shot, but he'll make a heck of a recovery shot. -Had about 20 feet up the hill. I thought it was straight. -Straight [unk] we all had a nice putt and it just rolled off at the end. -To pass the hole in the right, [unk] just got me another [unk]. -That really put a lot pressure in Thomas. The thing was just his moment. -[unk]. -All I cared about is getting it in the hole. I didn't care how I did it, just make it. -Marty, you're in the driver's seat with 4 as opposed to 5 for Thomas and Warren. Now, we are at your location. You pick this from 160 and you'll lead us on. -Marty chose the 160 yards shot because there's a hole, a practice hole which he practices on all the time which is a 160 yards approximately. -I just hit shots from there all the time. It just seems like my sort of comfort zone, 160 yards. You know, I know what cut to hit. -It was a shot where, if you're ahead it was the best of the 5. If you're behind, it was the worst of the 5 they have. -Hit it later on and struck it pure and it just stayed on the line that I aimed it on. Usually, my shots fade towards the target and this one's a straight, dead straight. -Now, if he makes 3 which he's most likely gonna do, it really puts pressure on the other guys make 2 for that distance. It's not 100 percent [unk]. They're probably not gonna do that. -The rain was coming down pretty steadily now. -Seemed like a good 7-iron. Just a nice, smooth 7-iron with the rain at 160, that shouldn't be a problem at that stage. -Cut. Just a bit. -I was trying to hit maybe hit a little fade. It didn't quite cut, but under the circumstances, it was definitely not a bad shot. -And I wasn't sure what shot I wanted to play actually. I thought to myself, you know I wanted to go straight at the flag, but then I thought what if I don't get it right and that brings that bunker in to play? So I aimed it left to the flag. -Sit down. -I had an 8-iron, pitched on the green and through to the slope which is halfway in the green and it spun less than [unk] spinning further away from the hole. -Warren probably had about, actually probably about 40 feet, 45 feet. -I read the line, it was outside left. -I just didn't strike it at all and it came like 12 foot short. It's just a terrible putt. -He hit that putt and he knew it would end probably an 8th of a second after he left is putter then he miss hit it. -Warren is putting himself in serious jeopardy here. That is definitely [unk] territory. -Just roll in. -I thought, well I'd like to hold it and make 3 up and downs and that would be how [unk] done. -Surprisingly, that is a [unk]. He [unk] a like a little golf there. -Don't worry, I got this one. -He makes this putt and Warren will miss [unk]. Thomas is [unk]. -He hit it past the hole about 3 feet. He's more than likely to make it, but it'd be really good if I hold it 'cause that really would put some pressure on him. -I just didn't quite hit it hard enough. Left it a little short and it just dived away [unk]. I hit a really good putt. That was 1 I thought I'd hold. Just missed on the lower side and didn't like made 3. -Warren got above the 6 putter. We're looking now to him making it or otherwise look like [unk] was gonna go 1 down really against another guy with only 1 location to go. -There's pressure in us all, but I felt comfortable over it. It was pretty straight up the hill. -Warren is taking a big step back and [unk]. He needs this to move on. -Oh, that's pretty good. Yeah, Marty. -Excited really for him right now. -So he has played his land to the next episode. -I wanted to win it really bad and then I felt like I you know, wanted to win it more than the other guys. -[unk] mate, congratulations. -Thanks, pal. Thanks. Whatever happens after, be brave. -Given the conditions, I actually decided to putt it. -We're actually all shocked. - So he went to ground, I'm thinking I wanted to run out there and tell him that this is the wrong option. -Marty Wilde, congratulations. -Thank you. -You dropped some big putts in those first 2 locations. You're on to the next show. -Thanks, man. -And now we've reached our 4th location. -We had a random draw of which location it would be to pitch out right in front of the green. We also had a random draw for the order. Thomas, you have the honors. Good luck guys. -Good luck. Good luck to you both. -Going into that shot you know, Thomas has got a 1 shot advantage, so only he has to do is get up, up and down or close to the flag and put the pressure on Warren. -Given the conditions, I actually decided to putt it. -Thomas pulled out a putter and we're actually all shocked just 'cause of the water, the consistency whenever there's water on the green in terms of how the putt's gonna roll can vary. -So he went to ground, I'm thinking I wanted to run out there and tell him that this is the wrong option. -It was between that, a chip shot and a pitch shot and because of the way the greens were in the moisture, I wasn't sure whether how much he would it would be able to check or how much it would skid. So I thought the safest place especially with the [unk] shot [unk] is putt it and just get it, trying to get it close. -It looked like it was tracking all the way in. It sailed off a little at the end and I had about 3 or 4 feet coming back for the 2. -That's a heck of a roll. -Now you've got it. -Thank you. -That immediately put the pressure on Warren. -Warren steps up and he knows basically he's gonna make [unk]. -When the cards are on the table, [unk] hold it to continue. -Warren going, [unk]. -There was a bit of a ridge, third up the green, so I knew all I gotta do is chip the ball over that and let it release out towards the hole. -Yeah, I was quite confident over it and I knew what I had to do, so it was no worries about it. Just trying to chip it up close, it had to go in. -Warren hit an amazing pitch shot. -That's going in, that's going in. -That's going in. -Ugh, no. -It was 3 feet, 2 feet to go. We were all jumping in the air. We thought he'd made it. -It's going in. -Ugh, no. -A foot and it was in. -He had a fantastic shot. I mean it was just like, it was-- you can applied it better and I've no idea how that ball did not go in. -Warren's ball ended up just in front of Thomas and he had to actually move his [unk] so Thomas could putt. -Thomas had the putt to win or he gave 1 chance to stay in. -The moment I think that this is over, something's gonna happen to me that is just gonna completely blow up in my face. -Thomas. -Thanks, man. -Good play. You're a great player. -It was closer than I wanted it to be, but it's so good. It's all a part of learning and hopefully I'll take advantage of that at a later stage. -We all know that Warren's a big guy. He can take it. -Hey, roommate. You've been a great friend. -[unk]. -He's been my roommate all the time since I've been here, so I was pretty choked that he didn't go through. -Got as far as [unk] anyway. Probably just don't have [unk]. -You wanna know that you gave it your best. Came as close as possible and that's what Warren did. -That's how it's time. I can't be [unk]. I thought it was that. I'm 39 now, so I don't know [unk] a time for the European or US tour, but [unk] as long as [unk] tour and [unk] which isn't too far away. I've tried to give up twice in the past and I still need to play golf. That's pretty [unk] before as the first time. I just couldn't give it up. -Next time on the Big Break IV. The Europeans continue to battle each other and Carnoustie. -Oh, you're joking me. -The emotions are so important that to contain to control it inside you 'cause it's gonna [unk]. -If you're too intense and keep thinking about what could happen and what might happen, you're gonna drive yourself mad. -From the outside they look very cool. On the inside, you don't wanna be in there. -I had great fun, but I was gonna go at some point. I think I was a little bit early.
