    Shot a 58 at the course yesterday! Can't wait to get back out there and finish the back 9!

    I think we're all trying to fight the darkness inside of us when we golf.

    I’m not even into golf I just clicked because the title sounded epic
  • @KrypTeK702
    this type of broadcast is way more entertaining. hearing the players and officials talk adds so much more to it

    8 years later and who would have thought hed still have 4 majors... still the best of his generation most likely.
  • @DodderingOldMan
    This sort of thing would absolutely throw me off my game. I hate time pressure. But that's pretty low down on the list of thousands of reasons why I'm not a pro golfer.
  • Anyone who has ever had 6pm tee time trying to squeeze in 18 has gone through this
  • I don’t really play golf or watch it, but just seeing the crowd’s reaction whenever something epic happens makes me smile
  • @bubbleboy563
    I turned my phone brightness all the way down to truly experience this
  • I am old enough to remember when crowds were allowed at sports events.

    When i finished a school day i’d manage to fit in 2 rounds before it got dark. Everyday. For two years. Didn’t get any better but i love golf

    After Rory won this 4th major, I remember reading some commentator saying that OK, Tiger won't break Jack's record, but Rory will. Well, it's four years later, and Rory's still stuck on 4.
  • I'm a huge Rory McIlroy fan, always. He's classy, intelligent, humble, and a wonderful son and friend. Everyone who knows him says he hasn't changed from the young lad he was in Northern Ireland. I wish him every success!
  • Mickelson putting his chip within a foot in almost total darkness, on the 72nd hole of a major championship. Guy is the GOAT short game player And I don't blame Phil for being a little irked this hole and snapping at the camera man who almost bumped into him. He was within 2 going into this hole and the whole forcing he and Fowler to let Rory play up in a situation like this is bound to mess with your concentration. Had a made eagle or Rory Bogeys you've got a playoff now, sonof course the guy was a bit tense.

    Imagine if the Tour put together a night-time tournament on one of those course with lights on them. Start on a Wednesday and end on Saturday night/Sunday morning. Would be pretty awesome in my opinion
  • @msalzberg4962
    I remember Phil and Rickie being really pissed that they were being rushed by officials so that Rory could finish. It really threw them off.
  • @gongshow20
    I loved Phil telling the camera guy to watch out!
