0:14.7

The Florida swing has started.

0:16.3

And what a wild finish we had at the Cognizant Classic.

0:19.9

If you just happen to look at the leaderboard, you might think Nico Etchavaria just cruised to a little two-shot victory, but that was definitely not the case, Lee's. This tournament was in Shane Lowry's hands, and he had an absolute disaster coming down the stretch, finding the water off the T on 16, making actually a pretty good double bogey when it was all saying done. And then once again, finding the water on 17, the bear trap bit him. But man, that thing looked like it was over. I was about to take a nap after he hit the green on 15. And then all of a sudden, oh, dear God. Sitting there on 15, I was like, he's got two shots left to hit. T shot on 15, T shot on 17. 16's part of the bear trap, but it's not like, you can make bogey, but like it's not a huge number lurking like the other one, like 15 and 17. The water's really not in play. It's, I mean, what was it? Two guys the entire week and the only one on the weekend was Shane with an iron. Like he hits iron there every day, the same club. You see bogies. You just don't see balls in the water. I mean, it barely crossed land. It could have been easily been a re-tie. It didn't really matter. He still laid it up, you know, down there and then proceeded to hit probably the worst iron shot, minus the one that was upcoming on 17 from the fairway unbelievable bunker shot

1:29.8

by the way all world bunker shot and still had a good chance at that point 17 I was like this

1:36.4

goes left it goes left of left like I'll understand I get it you know like you just wiped one on

1:40.7

the previous hole the last thing you want to do is miss right obviously I was shocked when that ball went in the one. And not it just went in. Like, it was closer to the, it was closer to where Jimmy Stanger hit it, by the way, which was in the freaking time shares over there. I was shocked, shocked by that. The double double, his only time he's had back-to-back doubles in his entire career. Pressure is a weird thing. Yeah, it was nuts. It looked like it was going to be a battle all day. At one point, Nico at Chavria had a one-shot lead after he birdie the 10th. And then Shane Lowder proceeds to chip in on nine, Eagles 10. The putter got extremely hot. Bertie 12. All of a sudden took a three shot lead.

2:18.7

14's a very difficult hole. He hit a bomb of a T shot. Hit a solid wedge in there 20 feet, did what he needed to do. And then I was just like, if he finds land on 15, and by the way, if you would have said, okay, where would you like this ball to end up considering you have a three shot lead? he would have said 30 feet left of it, dead pin high.

2:34.3

That's exactly where you hit it.

2:35.6

Like it was a beautiful shot.

2:37.2

I said, this guy's in full

2:38.2

control and then he gets the 16 t and that was a golf swing that i am very unfamiliar with when it

2:44.2

comes to shane lowry i mean he was way out in front club was so far stuck behind him i mean there's 25

2:49.8

yards between the right edge of the fairway and the water, and it flew into the water. Like you said, there's two balls all week in the water there. It's really not in play, especially with that wind direction. Just a weird swing. And, I mean, he said it afterwards. Like, he let one golf swing change everything. I mean, he was bogey free on the the weekend, full control, and then, what was he, six or seven under par on the day? And he goes there and he hits that ball in the water, and it's like, everything changed right there. He's like, oh, my God, what am I doing out here? I have no idea where the golf ball is going to go. Yeah, I mean, really didn't make a good swing after that. The iron shot from the fair was bad.

3:25.0

The iron shot on 17 was one of his worst.

3:27.0

T shot on 18 was good.

3:28.1

If you would have said, hey, Shane, or anybody, name it, anyone in the field, they're going to have a three-shot lead. They're going to cough it up on the bear trap. I'd be like, I can see that. that does happen but I would have been willing to bet it was 15 and 17 we're playing the issue 17

3:39.5

still did play the issue it wasn't going to be 16 where like the thing fell when he pulled 15 off

3:43.8

I said he's got one more shot going to bed, it was 15 and 17 were playing the issue. 17 still did play the issue. It wasn't going to be 16 where, like, the thing fell.

3:42.6

When he pulled 15 off, I said he's got one more shot. You got one more shot. He's got a hit. Because, I mean, 16, after making par on 15, you could bail left as far as you want. You make bogey there all day. You still got two-shot lead at that point. I guess Nico it did make Bertie on 17, which, by the way, there's another one.

3:58.5

He took that pin on.

3:59.9

That was about four. got two-shot lead at that point. I guess Nico, it did make Bertie on 17, which, by the way,
