I had this thing happened to me a few years ago where I got to hang out with Tiger because a band canceled Tiger Jam.

0:08.4

So they called me.

0:10.0

And I was like, I'm good.

0:11.9

I've been working too hard.

0:14.1

And they were like, Tiger will give you an hour long lesson.

0:16.5

I was like, I'll be there tomorrow.

0:17.7

Yes.

0:28.6

No. It's like, I'll be there tomorrow. Yes. Yes. All right, welcome back to golf subpar. Colt Nost Drew Stoltz.

0:30.6

West Coast Swing is over.

0:31.6

It's been a hell of a run for us over there at CBS.

0:33.6

Just finished off an incredible four weeks.

0:36.6

West Coast Swing, tough to beat. And what a way to end it with Jacob Bridgman, winning the Genesis Invitational hosted by Tiger Woods. This kid's been knocking at the door on the door sleeves, and he finally just ran all the way through it. Yeah, that was, I mean, six-shot lead going into Sunday at that place, that is not even close to being a fluke. this guy's not a one you look at how he's played

0:55.3

all this year going into last year he's been a beast he's super high up and all the important

1:00.7

strokes gain stuff looked like it was going to be a snoozer a little runaway where he got his

1:04.6

seven shot lead with 12 to play and uh it got real interesting i was not expecting to have to sit there until the final putt drop to know who was

1:13.6

going to win that golf tournament.

1:15.6

Props to him though, dude, after the way everything was going on 18 to have to step up,

1:21.1

hit that T shot and hit that second shot that he hit, which was phenomenal.

1:24.3

I didn't expect him to have to grind for par after those two, but tip of the cap, that's hard to get any win on the PJ tour, much less your first one, especially when Tiger's watching you. Yeah, it's been an interesting ride for Jacob Bridgman. This guy barely kept his card his first year. Then boom, tour championship. He's in all the majors. Gets off to a great start this year top 20 in every single event you know had a

1:45.1

chance had a had a two-shot lead at pebble beach at one point on sunday and then had a little bit

1:49.5

of a rough finish but he played some phenomenal golf the iron game was just absurd i mean he was

1:54.8

he was at one point on sunday after the third hole he had hit 33% of his approach shots inside of 15 feet for the week. This isn't some of kitchen putt. And normal around Riviera from my man, Justin Ray, is around 18%. So he almost doubled him up. Like, he was throwing darts. He's always been a fantastic putter. But it got a little close there. It just shows you how hard it is to win. I mean, he was obviously trying to protect a little bit, playing safe. Rory really wasn't making a move. The move was coming from Kurt Kittiyama up in front. But for the most part, and Adam Scott was also on a little bit of a heater there. 263s, by the way, in one week. He's a joke at Riviera. He loves that place. So good.
