-Yeah! -He did it! He did it!
Tessitore: Tanner Beard is the champion of champions.
Yeah!
The greatest of all time.
Whoo!
A moniker reserved for only the best...
Whoo!
...the select few whose talent is so undeniable
that it transcends all others
who have ever tried to play a game.
Kristof sinks it for the title!
More legendary than a legend,
more iconic than an icon...
the G.O.A.T.
Who will be the "Holey Moley" G.O.A.T.?
You would have thought they could have picked
a cooler animal than a goat, you know?
It has nothing to do with the actual animal, the goat.
It's an acronym -- "Greatest of All Time."
And I'm just saying, would it have killed them
to pick a lion or a bear?
Well, what do you mean "them" and "they"?
Who do you think they are?
The goat lobby.
Tonight...
Together: Oh.
...eight world-class athletes,
three rounds of extreme mini golf,
and the winner here will take that last spot
in the season finale.
The final putt worth $250,000.
I'm Joe Tessitore.
And I'm Rob Riggle.
This is...
Both: "Holey Moley 3D".
"In 2D"!
It's an amazing night on the most thrilling
extreme mini golf course ever assembled.
Rob, this course is so exciting.
I'm to the point now, when I go play big golf,
regular golf, I find it a little boring.
Agreed, my friend.
Whenever I play with my buddies,
whoever loses the hole has take off a piece of clothing.
Actually, you know what? We need a fourth this week.
Can I count you in, Joe?
No, absolutely not.
Alright. Here's how things work tonight.
Round 1 -- eight golfers face off.
The winners go on to a sudden-death Round 2.
Then only the very best will get to the final round.
That's where they play for the very last plaid jacket,
The Golden Putter, and the final spot
in the season finale, where one of our champions
will make a put worth a quarter million dollars.
Now let's go to the first hole of the night -- Agony of Defeat.
And here's our resident golf pro to tell us how it works.
A lot of people ask me, "Stephen,
how do you make 'Holey Moley' mini golf extreme?"
And my answer is always the same.
Add ramps.
Just like our next hole, Agony of Defeat.
Golfers must first speed down the ski slope
and off the ramp, jumping as far as they can.
The golfer that leaps the furthest
tees off from the better ball position.
So remember, next time you want to make something extreme,
just add a ramp.
And to make it extra extreme,
don't tell anyone you're doing it.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Let's go!
Let's do this.
Tessitore: The bright lights clearly shining down
on our first matchup
between a lighting technician, Shane Stine,
and a lighting designer in Matthew "Wuky" Wukman.
This is all for the money, baby.
Do you think they got paired together
because of the light thing?
Yes.
Hey, everybody, I'm Matt Wukman,
and I'm the lit golfer.
My night job is as a lighting designer.
I work with bands and artists
and just make them look awesome.
During the day, and at heart, I'm a mini golfer.
I have two rescue dogs at home, Pumpkin and Turtle,
and I'm just trying to make them proud.
Let's win that $250,000.
[ Grunts ]
Shane: My name's Shane Stine, I'm from Las Vegas, Nevada,
and I'm a lighting technician.
Let there be light.
Casinos, showrooms, theme parks --
you name it, we do it.
I come from a golfing family.
My first car was a golf cart.
This is my grandfather's magazine
that he started in 1975.
This is my chance.
Grandpa Charlie,
I'm here to light up the competition
and keep your legacy alive.
Shane Stine on the Agony of Defeat.
Great golf pedigree.
Dad is one of the founders of the Golf Channel.
[ Gasps ]
But now he's out here
being launched from a ski jump chair.
I love roller coasters, but this is new.
Let's see how far Shane can fly.
Here he goes.
Ohh!
Head first.
Whoo!
I think it was pretty good.
I mean, not great, but not bad.
Alright, telestrator time.
Here's the launch.
He balled up.
Coiling up.
But he didn't get a full extension, either.
Right there, my friend.
That's a nice effort.
23 1/2 for Shane Stine.
Matthew "Wuky" Wukman.
Hey, you know, Wuky Wukman told us he's inspired
to win for his fur babies,
his dogs, Pumpkin and Turtle.
Here's the thing, they're not gonna know
if he won or lost.
You don't think they could --
No way on Earth.
He just -- If he comes home happy,
they're happy.
Big smile on Wuky.
Wow, look at the face he's making.
That's psychotic.
It really is.
I guess you got to be, though, if you're about to do this.
Shifty eyes.
Yeah, yeah, it's scanners.
His head's about to explode.
[ Babbles ]
Zzzzzzzz.
[ Imitates explosion ]
And he's disqualified for not having a head.
23 1/2 feet is the mark to beat.
His feet are back, ready for the launch.
Is he wearing two different colored shoes?
[ Screams ]
Ahh!
Ohh!
[ Laughs ]
I love the old-fashioned wolf howl.
Oh, this is gonna be close, Riggle.
Watch this. Boom.
He goes up, he doesn't go out,
and that is going to cost him.
Ahh!
Wuky Wukman is at 21 feet.
Shane Stine, 23 1/2 feet.
So Wuky Wukman will tee off first from the furthest slope.
Touring lighting designer for rock bands.
Alright, that was fun. Let's do it.
He told us lighting is all about angles,
understanding math.
Right now he's got to have the right trajectory.
He has two ramps to deal with.
[ Crowd shouting ]
Excellent tee shot.
Takes the bounce off the back wall.
30 inches away from the cup.
That's the best putt we've ever seen on this hole.
Nice.
Fabulous tee shot
for Matthew "Wuky" Wukman.
Shane Stine getting ready for his tee shot.
I got to say, he really is golf royalty.
Oh, and there's no doubt about it.
I mean, Golf Channel and Golf Weekly,
and now he's on "Holey Moley," so that completes the cycle.
I'm sure Grandpa and Father would be thrilled to know that.
Do you think they would disown him if he --
if he loses?
I don't think they'd be thrilled.
Make for an awkward Thanksgiving, huh?
A very awkward Thanksgiving.
Now, remember, he only has one ramp to deal with here, Rob.
[ Crowd cheering ]
Let's see if we can track this.
There he goes.
Goes right there --
ohh.
Ohh.
Well, now you're just squiggling.
No, no, that's what he wanted to do.
That's what I was wishing for him.
Okay.
So both sitting 1 right now,
Wukman and Stine.
Wukman with an excellent --
I mean, absolutely excellent -- tee shot,
so Stine has to make something of this.
He's got that ramp to actually contend with
in his putting stroke.

Oh, get there. Oof.
Tessitore: Shane's gonna be disappointed with that miss.
He'll tap in for a 3.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Matthew "Wuky" Wukman had that incredible tee shot.
He has put himself in prime position.
Can the 31-year-old now follow it all up with a winning putt?
He does.
Whoa, yes.
How about that?
Say hello to round number 2, Matthew "Wuky" Wukman.
Let's go!
"Holey Moley"!
Whoa, hey, Joe, look.
It's the Alpine horn players.
[ Horns playing ]
Classic mini golf.
It is.
Oh, my God.
What was that?
You got to give me that replay
of how he comes off the horn.
Whoa.
Oh, God bless.

Can't you just separate without the full-on lick?
Ahh!

This is unbelievable.
Watch the eye contact with the camera.

Is he an arsonist?
He must be.
What's he got in that can?
Probably gin.
I think he was actually just selling fireworks
on the side of the highway.
Course Marshal Joe picked him up.
Next thing you know, we've got an en fuego Dutch Courage.
Here's Jeannie Mai to tell us how it works.
Step back for safety, it's Dutch Courage En Fuego.
Golfers will putt through two fiery windmills.
Once their ball makes it through,
our golfers must time their run
and jump to get themselves through.
If they fall into the water below, it's a penalty stroke.
Double up on your courage, golfers.
This one is a double Dutch doozy!
Oh, that's so cool.
Thanks, Jeannie.

Tessitore: We got Tyler Gattoni
from Littleton, Colorado,
against Emily Faulkner of Palm Beach.
Hey, everyone. My name's Emily Faulkner.
I'm 22 years old,
and I'm a marketing director for a golf company.
I've been called Golfer Girl Em since I was 6 years old.
I absolutely love doing trick shots.
And I've won golf tournaments hundreds of times.
I'm here to show the world that Golfer Girl Em
has what it takes,
and I'm here to win The Golden Putter.
My name is Tyler Gattoni, and I am a handyman
from Littleton, Colorado.
Whoo!
[ Cat yowls ]
Sorry.
I am known as the Mountain G.O.A.T. of Mini Golf
because I am sure-footed, found in the mountains,
I also hate being wet.
Mountain goats loathe being wet.
That's why they climb up the mountains.
Maaah!
I am a huge fan of "Holey Moley."
Oh, yeah!
If I could try every challenge, I would.
And I am in relentless pursuit
of becoming the greatest golfer of all time.
Maaah!
Tyler Gattoni -- how about that?
Calls himself the Mountain G.O.A.T.
Does that mean the mountain "Greatest of All Time"?
That's a good point.
I can go for some s'mores.
Perfect weather for it.
Oh, man.
Sounds like someone's got flirt fever.
We're not getting wet tonight.
No, we're not getting wet.
[ Giggles ]
Yeah, that's one notch north of nervous chatter.
[ Crowd cheering ]
First to putt is Tyler Gattoni.
It's gonna hit the back wall.
Come baaaa--
Too much on it as it retreats,
but he is dead center.
Tyler: It was a little hard.
Now comes one of the most feared obstacles
in all of "Holey Moley."
Remember, mountain goats hate being wet.
Will Tyler live up to being the goat?
Find out when we come back.
Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley,"
where the Round 1 action continues
on Dutch Courage En Fuego.
Tyler Gattoni, the Mountain G.O.A.T. of Mini Golf,
faces the first windmill.
It's starting to smoke up.
Riggle: Yeah, there's smoke billowing out.
Can he avoid the stroke penalty?
♪♪
Oh!
Poor Tyler, he just took a kidney shot.
[ Chuckles ]
Look at the smile on Emily's face right now.
Yeah, she's loving it.
Let's take a look at this. This is always joyful.
Starting from too far away is what always gets everybody.
Yeah, bad idea.
You got to get right up against that blade.
Yep.
Now the second windmill.
You got to be really, really careful with it.
Why is he so far away, Joe?
Does he want to go in again?
The starting far away is not a good move.
He's trying to rock this baby and time it.
Wow. What an incredible dive.
[ Laughs ]
-Got it. -Whoo!
Little ninja roll at the end.
You know, he might have just stopped, dropped, and rolled
'cause he thought he was on fire, Joe.
So now Emily Faulkner, graduated high school at 16,
went on to become a Division I golfer at FAU.
Pretty good roll.
See if it settles. Remember, the ramp is there.
How much will it come back?
Uh...she's gonna be closer.
Alright, Emily, moment of truth.
Hope she has a good first step.
She's inching up, inching up, getting closer.
Oh! Oh! Ohh.
The full spin. You could hear the "ow."
Yep.
Look how off her timing is.
She needs to be right here.
Yes.
And she's right here.
Ow.
She gets fully spun around.
Spun like a top.
That's what happened right there to Emily Faulkner.
Really sold the Faulkner.
Yeah, I really -- I commit to the Faulkner.
And now, Joe, she gets to do it again.
She's looking at the wrong place.
You got to look to your left more.
Exactly.
Oh, no, right in the face.
Oh, and into the water again.
Oh, she took it right in their head
and then into the water.
That's a two-stroke penalty.
Well, she looks miserable.
Tyler Gattoni sits 2.
He will have the stroke advantage.
Emily Faulkner lies 3.
Look how much she's shivering, Rob.
Yeah, it's cold.
Tyler Gattoni, a stroke advantage.
This is a deceptive, tricky hole.
A 22-degree angle to contend with.
Can he convert with a winning putt?
Whoa! What a putt!
Whoo!
Tyler Gattoni wins.
He is into the second round.
-Nice job. -Nice work.
The Mountain G.O.A.T. of Mini Golf
climbing his way closer
towards that last spot in the finale.
I'm so wet!
And cold!
From frozen contestants to frosted covered obstacles,
here's Stephen Curry to tell us about Donut Hole.
Allow me to sprinkle some knowledge on you.
Golfers start by teeing off down the long, curved ramp
onto the green below.
Then golfers must jump from one giant swinging donut to another.
But if they fall into the sprinkles below,
it'll cost them a penalty stroke.
And that's Donut Hole.
It's a-"dough"-rable.
A-"dough"-rable, really?
[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoa!
What the hell's going on?
[ Competitors shouting ]
Joe, our competitors have arrived.
They have arrived, Rob,

My nickname has always been Boomer because I played baseball
and I can whack the crap out of the ball.

I made it all the way to a professional level.
"Holey Moley" is in my blood.

Chelsea: [ Grunts ]
Alright.
Fierce Bearce up first.

Chelsea Bearce refers to herself
as the cake decorating queen.
Now, Rob, it's interesting, she first made an erotic cake,
and it went viral.
Nothing quite like an adult cake, Joe.
Rob, have you ever had an erotic cake made for you?
Everything I do is erotic.
[ Laughs ]
A good hot cup of Joe Tess and an erotic cake,
and you are home free, my friend.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Chelsea Bearce,
her tee shot.
The beauty of this hole is that the ball always makes
its way down to the green.
But what happens when it gets to the sprinkles?
Off the blue sprinkle,
and it rolls just past the left of the cup.
Not bad.
Not bad?
Not bad. It's a good roll.
Tessitore: Really was.
Fierce.
Alright, so Chelsea Bearce
has to climb from swinging donut
to swinging donut.
Oh, my God.
So far this season,
no one has made it beyond the first donut.
Jumps on --
Ahh!
She's right into the sprinkles.
Could not hold on to the very first donut.
Here's Chelsea Bearce's jump.
Ahh!
Oh, she bounced right off.
Oh!
So that'll be a stroke penalty.
[ Grunting ]
Rob.
Huh?
Do you see Chelsea?
Oh, my God.
I see two feet.
Joe, did you see that? Just two feet sticking out.
I can't get out!
[ Laughs ]
Oh, my God.
Who will emerge with sweet victory?
You'll find out after the break.
Throw 'em a line!
Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley."
While you were away, Chelsea survived
the sprinkles on Donut Hole.
Chelsea: Oh, my God.
And Alyssa took her turn,
but met the same fate.
Uh -- Oh, no.
The former pro was the favorite,
but her putt turned sour.
I almost want to give it to you, but I'm not.
And sweet victory was Chelsea's,
the cake decorating queen.
Ahhh!

is like lighting design.
It's about angles. It's about understanding math."
This is more of a launch than a roll.
Over the sword.
It got the bounce.
Tough putt.
Oh, I know, it's a slippery one.
Tessitore: Brian Wilbor for the win.
This could send him to the final round
and play for The Golden Putter.
Brian Wilbor defeats Matthew "Wuky" Wukman.
35-year-old Brian Wilbor has made it
to tonight's Final Round
and now will be playing
for The Golden Putter and the plaid jacket.
Oh, I look cool, though.
I saw a glimpse of myself, too.
I'm so happy we didn't put you in that extreme LED screen
because I know the way you are when you see yourself.
God, I want to be down there.
Tessitore: Back here, it's Round 2 action on "Holey Moley."
Tonight's champion will take that final spot
in the season finale,
and what better hole to flush out mini golf's best
then Hole Number Two.
After putting across a very narrow channel,
our golfers have to get themselves over
without falling into the water.
If they do, it's a stroke penalty.
We've been through this hole through the years.
Yes.
The one thing that we have learned
is you have to have a sprinter's start.
You cannot hesitate. You need to come out of the blocks very fast
because you have about 2 1/2 seconds
until the porta potty doors open up
that could send you into the liquid below.
[ Toilet flushes ]
Who is gonna make it to the final round?
Will it be Tyler Gattoni,
the rock-climbing Mountain G.O.A.T. of Mini Golf,
or Chelsea Bearce,
the fierce cake decorating queen?
What's up?! Ha-ha!
I like Chelsea. She's got good energy.
First up, 39-year-old Chelsea Bearce.
Fierce Bearce is her nickname.
Ooh!
Round 2 battle to see
who can make it to play for a championship
here in season three of "Holey Moley."
Oh. Needed more on it.
No! [ Laughs ]
So Chelsea will putt from the drop zone,
but if she can make it past these occupied porta potties,
she'll save herself that stroke penalty.
Waiting for the light to turn.
There it is.
Chelsea, slow start.
Oh!
Oh, the corn wipes her out!
Plops in.
Do you have to use the word "plop"?
Well, that's what happened there.
[ Sighs ]
Oh, my God.
Oh, Chelsea, Chelsea.
Did you guys see that? [ Laughs ]
Let's take a look at that replay.
Chelsea Bearce, oh, no, slow start.
The ear of corn takes out Fierce Bearce,
sends her flying into the sludge.
When you watch that replay,
do you ever pause and sit back and say,
"Why do you people still want to sign up to do this?"
Morons.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Boy, Tyler means business. Sizing up his putt.
His ball needs to stay on course,
has to make it onto the green.
That to be a step ahead of his opponent, Chelsea.
♪♪
Oh!
Wow.
That stayed on somehow,
takes the turn,
will take that last ramp.
This is gonna be good.
Pace was perfect.
It was just enough, but not too much.
Now, does he have the wheels to lock this in?
Guy who refers to himself as the Mountain G.O.A.T. of Mini Golf.
Can he speed his way past the porta potties?
That's a good start.
Good run.
That's a good run.
Ohh!
And just throwing your body with reckless abandon.
That's extreme mini golf right there, Joe.
Ahhh!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Got you! You didn't get me!
Oh!
Look at this run, Rob.
Riggle: Oh, yeah.
See the desire, though?
Yep.
Knowing -- Knowing he wasn't gonna be able to hit the brakes.
He just committed to it fully.
The corn on the cob was bummed.
Honestly.
The corn on the cob wanted a piece.
He's been in that porta potty for four hours, Joe.
That's a long time in a porta potty.
It's a long time.
Chelsea Bearce,
she's gonna be putting from the drop zone.
Chelsea already a stroke down,
and with those two ramps in play from the drop zone,
can she pull off a miracle?
This takes an awkward bounce.
Gonna kick off the --
Not bad.
Wraps around.
Not bad.
Leave her with that.
[ Exhales sharply ]
Tyler stayed dry,
and Tyler had an excellent tee shot.
This for a 2 and a win and a spot in the final round.
[ Exhales sharply ] Alright.
Alright, alright, alright, alright.
[ Chuckles ]
Alright, alright.
What is he, Matthew McConaughey?
"Alright, alright, alright," Tyler.
[ Heart pounding ]
This for the win.
♪♪
Oh, did you see the little twist to the putter, too?
Oh!
Yeah!
Tyler Gattoni is through to the final round.
Only one plaid jacket, only one Golden Putter remain,
and Tyler Gattoni is on his way to claiming it.
Whoo!
All the final round action
coming up when we return.
Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley"
and the final round.
Who is gonna take home that plaid jacket,
that Golden Putter, and most important,
a spot in the season finale where one champion
will make a putt worth a quarter of a million dollars?
Here they come, Joe.
Alright, here we go.
-Yeah! -Let's go!
Let's go! You see me.
Tessitore: The final pairing --
it has come down to Brian Wilbor,
the 35-year-old golf instructor,
going up against Tyler Gattoni,
the Mountain G.O.A.T. of Mini Golf.
They will face off on The Distractor.
For more on the next hole, here's Jeannie Mai.
Distractions are usually a big no-no in golf,
but on The Distractor, they're part of the hole.
Our golfers will need to stay focused
as they trade turns trying to sink a hole-in-one
on a simple straight shot
while whatever's behind that wall
tries to trip them up.
Sorry, I'm getting a little distracted myself
just thinking about it.
What do you think, Joe? You think this year
we have a bear finally?
I'm hoping for it.
[ Chuckles ] I've been requesting it ever since
the first time I saw The Distracter. I said...
I'm gonna take a guess right now
and say it's a bear.
Very unlikely that it would be a bear behind the wall.
We'll see about that.
Oh, what's it gonna be?
Bear, bear, bear, bear, bear.
This time, it's a bear!
Nope, mariachi band.
Still just as distracting.
It'll be a bear someday, you watch.
Man, talk about a great 10 seconds of television.
Oh, it would kill.
Literally.
What's up, man? Good luck.
Play well, man.
Tessitore: The winner here will fill that last slot to play
for a quarter million dollars.
-What do you think it is? -It's got to be --
Riggle: Whoa, whoa, whoa, what are they doing?
What is Course Marshal Colin doing?
-This is a little concerning. -This can't be good.
Why are they giving them protective eyewear?
What is this?
That is concerning,
considering we're on The Distractor.
What will be behind the wall?
I don't know what's about to come flying at me
that my eyeballs need to be protected.
Tessitore: Here it comes, Rob.
Oh.
What?!
What is this? What is this?
Bear, bear, bear, bear, bear, bear.
The Distractor is...
[ Chainsaw whirring ]
Tyler: Okay, alright, alright, alright.
A chainsaw carving artist is the distraction.
Wait, is this -- is this what they consider the bear
that I requested?
It's a bear.
This is unbelievable.
It's great.
This is garbage.
They show me the dream
and then they take it away.
[ Chuckles ]
You know, that's cruelty.
That's cruelty.
[ Chainsaw whirring ]
I don't know how comfortable they would be with this guy
wielding the chainsaw this close.
How you gonna deal with all these wood chips everywhere?
I know, there's wood chips all over the place.
Tessitore: Brian Wilbor will be the first
of our competitors here in this final round.
Remember, a plaid jacket and The Golden Putter
and the chance for a quarter million dollars
is on the line right here.
Look at the amount of wood chips
and sawdust as they're trying to win a championship here.
Riggle: Oh, oh, oh!
That was so close.
Inches, inches!
Gattoni loves the great outdoors.
His goal -- one day to climb Mount Everest.
Most people don't survive.
So I may rethink some of those goals.
Tyler Gattoni could win a championship right here
if he can overcome The Distractor.
I would be very concerned with the way
he's flicking that chainsaw.
Flick, flick.
Chainsaws were not meant to be flicked or flung.
I hope he's sober.
This could be the last putt before the season finale.
Through the sawdust
and in!
Oh, that does it!
And that means Tyler Gattoni is a "Holey Moley" champion.
He will have the chance to putt for a quarter million dollars.
Our chainsaw artist goes away on The Distractor.
Oh, and look at Joe, regal,
ready to put forth all the pageantry
and great tradition that only "Holey Moley" delivers.
The Golden Putter, my friend.
Why, thank you.
Tessitore: There is The Golden Putter
and the plaid jacket.
One of my favorite parts of the show --
the donning of the coveted plaid jacket.
What a moment for Tyler Gattoni.
And now, all mini golfers dream of this moment,
hearing these words from Stephen Curry.
You are now a member of mini golf royalty.
You're so close to that $250,000.
Go get some.
It has been sensational to see the group of elite golfers
that Stephen Curry has put together.
Ohh!
That's a hole-in-one!
Whoo!
Some of the best putters we've seen,
some of the best athletes we've seen.
They represent the finest...
most determined...
passionate...
Yeah!
...glamorous...
Ohh!
...competitive...
That's all you got?
...and memorable...
Blake Sledge!
...of all mini golfers gracing the greens today.
Nine jackets have been earned this year -- nine --
and they will all be together the next time we see you
for the season finale of "Holey Moley,"
where one player will win a quarter million dollars.
Don't miss it.
