look that is crazy that you got all the way up there guess that life oh my god that might be the only two on the day or this ol look at this those are a mile high plenty of height just splashes right and that is incredible right here is I think this is really small shot we can discharge you you just want to get off this hole right now he's Donald four three great putt that's a great putt after that first shank on the hole - oh no and you hate to see that Randy will be tapping in for a triple six kind of just happen at the party Rainey with the triple and Parker with a double tough hole I'll ride hole for 450 foot par 3 these guys gonna show off some this stuff right here pretty pretty open fairway there is some water on the right side by the basket let's see some fly shots some eyes are Flint's up the middle hopefully just some bombs and all these guys on this party have the distance to reach this basket so let's see some birdies here first up we got Brian after that crazy - I still can't believe that oh no and he's down the water is not what you want after that incredible to hear we got Koda taking the middle gap yep that's pretty much perfect you'll probably have a circles edge uphill putt for - you've got giggler taking about the same line oh my god he's even closer get one's got probably a 15-foot putt for birdie and Parker's playing pretty conservative they're not bad play at all and Randy yeah he's up there with with the giggler I have a circle sash but he was Bryan for three he's gonna try to somehow save par here with a crazy putt we seen it before yeah that's just the tough but it's that the law of power you got put behind that Parker just toss it up there for an easy tap-in three see if Cody can lock into here yes sir just walking it off like he's done it multiple multiple times and cut is one of the best putters in Oklahoma no doubt see if Rennie can do the same and that's how you bounce back from a triple right there here we got giggler 15-foot putt crazy yeah he's got that whole day ready for Gabler Ronnie's gonna tap it in first for Carter first three probably one finger puppets all right here's coda yeah he's taking that middle gap it's just so tight it's so hard to get all the way up there let's see what I finished and gigglers not known for you know a power thrower but he is super consistent and he putts like a maniac yeah he's following the same lines Kota yeah he's that tree down by the basket I'll probably give him a 45 50 footer Randy same gap no yeah and he gets all the way through there parker's does a little high see if it gets through yep right over there by Randy you have a good look to get his first birdie of the tournament and last up you got Brian trying to bounce back after that bogey just took turns it over nice and good fading out let's see that was OB or not look close this short that's a great that's stretched out through the high for hand over that little tree that's perfect Brian's gonna be trying to jump this one man yeah just pay it out early on doll for two he really takes his time on these pots but they they pay off just a bit higher right there we got Parker for two just came out his hand really hasn't really found his groove yet oh no and rainy missed that opportunity as well that's a great cleanup for par right there will be longer than you probably wanted but you knocked it down and this Brian's second shot no okay yeah we missed this his second shot house for par and cars gonna be tapping in for three and I think so will Randy's whoa and Parker yup and this is almost a bonus birdie right here first you just gotta keep it in bounds and then if you get lucky with keep it in bounds you got a dodge couple trees to the end so that's alright hole six 311 foot are three very tough two very tough you got low ceiling the whole way 40 foot gap you got a hit off the tee box while Island Trees right from the basket it's also like a dance on the left side I've asked around the bag it really takes the perfect shot we've got some other pretty big names as Turner we got bill Tilghman from the city and Larry gardener LG from up new city as well bring on the car behind us and there they're playing pretty good all right we're gonna stop the code a half-filled here keeps it low that's a great shot he's gonna have some trees in the way but he's up there here's Donald keeps it very low gets a big skip I can't tell if that's in the ditch or not we have to find out Randy goes a bit high and left that's gonna be some trouble that's like Parker's going left - I can't really see where that ends up but I'm sure it's down there by about Randy that's a good-looking shot by Brian oh yeah that's the best shot so far yeah that's gonna be about 25 footer for birdie it's a partner just do a four hand roller just to get out of there Randy going probably a sex and Firebird right there gets up there pretty close I think this is Parker start shot they sit next to leaf the Seavey's over there pardon dawn with the long to look it's got startled out of the trees you can't run it too much because it's dead right behind it yeah it gives it a half go here we tap it in for three which is totally fine on this ol you're scared of putting from the ditch that ditch is not OB Wow gives it a very good run here's Randy's par putt just a little love right after two oh my god just barely left you know he wanted that partner dachshund a great great puffers buggy yeah he won't be satisfied with that but they'll just shake it off and go to the next one Ryan's Tabitha tonry and so the so is Bigler all arrived whole seven 300-foot part three a lot of options you can take you got the best straight shot with a range rover fairway there's also the sky Heiser I seen a summer forehand flag shots you know just uh get past that that walnut trees moon a chance for two and rainy and Parker gonna need to get some twos here to catch up with us to the card not too far back but I can get somewhere first up we got code it looks like he's lining up uh thumber yeah any punches through right there that's probably 40 footer probably on a limb or hide on it but you'll take it and Googlers just going with a straight shot it looks a little high though when I got it out by some some branches I'll have a tricky part and here's Brian oh he's going with the hi stall shot turned it over a little bit oh yeah that's a great shot you'll be happy to see where that's at Randy for sander looks like it's taking the low slow turning shot oh yeah you'll take that and that's one Randy's best shots it's just the low lasers and tight gaps looks like Parker trying to turn his over a little bit too much yeah he's putting from the from the jot down there yeah here in Oklahoma we got tons of ticks chiggers it's nagas sane and hopefully he'll have a path to that Donald also in the ref he's gonna try to punch out here maybe a harp some overstable Parker for par oh and it's a cage is a great run man one more foot nothing is Drano see if Cotto can lock in his two just barely off oh and Brian gets a spit out on the right side and I was a good putt - I mean that's 50/50 or the chains catcher or not see we can get one too here we cannot we're gonna have some tap ins for for par Parker will be tapped in for bogey but rest of the car pars there you go ready well these don't really to happens are they at least not for me there you taco all right hole 8 519 foot par 3 very difficult hole very long you got a lot of trees to mess with it at the beginning let's get out in the middle you'll have probably about a 200 foot up shot and if I play this whole week before this it took me my entire bag just to get out so is not like a clear line off the tee if you guys that live in Oklahoma that putt this course well you're crazy because it is just absolutely beautiful grass is always green well-maintained and yeah it really tests your skills see all these guys doing this whole first up we got Koda and you really just gotta keep it low keep it low and just hope you miss miss some trees and that works out just fine here's gigglers pretty similar looking shot yeah Nick's a branch and just falls out in the open that's that's totally fine we got Brian everyone calls him taco and he put a move on this one yeah they'll give him a pretty short approach shot for a easy tap-in three it's more of a par four but you know they they call everything out in Oklahoma part of the reason seems like Randy also that's fine it's really hard to break up break off a lot of distance on this hole and Parker's out there yep I mean the whole cars out there gonna have a pretty pretty simple up shot choice about distance control at this point see if Kota can get close he's goes with the big Heiser they'll get my tester putt I'm sure you want to be a little bit closer than that and Randy had these branches as why couldn't go with any hyzers so he's went right at it with the rock three and pretty much parse it great shot here we got giggler and with the high Heiser as well same as Cota yep that'd work tako force to go at the forehand and I'll be a testify as well we're gonna see some some good putts right here Parker pin it up there I'll work some circles edge yeah it's a little left that's been dismissed today you got giggler probably about same distance come on get her not to send Oh his cage hits a couple chains as drops right out those are some of the hardest ones to handle when it hits every part of the basket and still does not find its way in killing his dead center for his bar here's Parker yeah blocking that in at their first power tap in for bogey for Gibbler brandish beep tap it in for par yeah and you're not gonna see a whole lot too little if any gonna have to be a roller from this bar that were throwing and bogey for Brian all right on the whole nine 333 foot part three throwing this - hi Zuri we got a mando I'm not pulling I go ride a bull roads Obie got some trees down by the basket and yeah you can take the high route go round let me get a skip out of it the best it's also like a mound so you gotta you gotta have some justice control and this card's really all over the place what kind of story we got some 1/3 down a couple evens couple over par a little bit so they're crying it out right here such a beautiful hole my first up we got Koda you might be going hi hi as with all power he has now he's going right at it yeah that'll work just fine it's gonna be scary pop but he's got in them Randeep I going over stable fairway driver if I had to guess yeah that's a fantastic shot you don't see a whole lot of parked Holt or Park shots on this hole Parker's similar-looking shot yeah that won't work you got giggler ah that's gonna be a tough to know once hits our cameraman are there Chris yeah all the way yeah Brian yeah there's not a whole lot of route so you're gonna see a whole lot of just kind of slow-moving hyzers he was Brian for his very scary putt I will give this like a half go oh and he mixed a branch that might have helped him honestly cuz if you didn't drop metal that things going past the basket down the hill Oh No and code just misses barely left went down the hill a little bit but I don't think it ran away or anything just get lit for two nice pug Ziggler dead center chains he is just a great putter Parker barely misses he rolls down not very happy with that one he's a long come back or he doesn't quite get all the way up there he'd be tapping in for bogey here's coda for three what that just sliced right through the chains oh my gosh he's baskets are not being very friendly with this card Randy with the great - I think this is Brian's par putt yeah yeah in this hole you're gonna see either twos and a lot of fours with the public cause of partings - so sketchy 1015 3 why not whole lot gaps here I mean he's gotta get past those first couple trees super downhill whole reason will last first got bail out on the rise field lucky stick always pretty tough you got very close so you can take a forehand line right - so come on over those trees first up we got Randy the projects go backing up the middle try to squeeze through a couple trees yeah that's just fine little short but he'll pitch up and get a three we got gig litter probably going similar line oh he gets a good skit you might have a puff in there it's gonna be obstructed but he's gonna he's plug and try to run it here we got Brian I can't tell the head tree or not I think it did thinking my kick left I left the scene a sec the code is gonna want to try y'all way down there oh yeah that's a great shot right there looks like he'll be putting as well here's Parker looks like he might hit reading also kicked left LeBron's got a tricky second shy he's gonna go with the it's like an overstable putter on a nanny for hemline yeah he's not gonna be happy with a school even look like a 40-footer for his par just Harvard looks like he has a pretty simple up shot I left that a little short Rhaenys gonna try to run this but yeah he's gonna end up a little short tap-in for three this is Brian's par putt and yeah you don't wanna you don't want to pop out over 30 feet on this ol use that little short left here's doll for two let's see if we can get a big one right here whoa off the branch dead center chains look at that GK slo-mo right in the heart of the basket great pup you're not gonna see me many toos on this hole this is also for two he was lose that little short you tap in for par Randy for par yeah no problems there Parker tapping in first par and Brian's taking a unfortunate bogey right here and Koda for par all right on to the next eleven 250-foot 255 two or three we got OB running down the whole right side very narrow fairway got tree in the middle might be see him some four hands on the left side back into the middle this is really must get dirty all right I've got Donald up first looks like he's lining up the dead straight shot it's really just thought one tree got a mess because of this short but that should work Randi also got the middle Oh oh yeah is that's a Park job that's a bull's-eye no one's taking the forehand line maybe because of my the risk of the risk of its skip and OB toe to puts in the circle Parker also leaves it a bit short No yeah hits a tree little short oh here's a forehand that's what I'm talking about it's wide enough yeah that's B button oh yeah Parker with the longest part of the group probably circles edge this is a little short left Donald's got a couple trees too to dodge here his pugs been on all day yeah it's not he's not slowing down either Brian's happening for birdie Randi's to be tap-in for birdie partner taps in for par and this is a very difficult Corsi I mean these guys are Parker's struggle a little bit so it's rainy but for the most part is this cars playing pretty clean
