It has been one of the most club‐swinging...
Vaporized!
...hard‐hitting...
‐Oh! ‐Ugh!
...putt‐sinking seasons of extreme mini golf...
‐He did it! ‐It's a hole in one!
‐Whoo! ‐Yeah!
...that we've ever seen here at "Holey Moley."
‐He made it! He made it! ‐Oh, he made it!
‐She survives it! ‐Whoo!
Yeah, baby!
And now...
it all comes crashing to a head.
Nine finalists have fought their way
to earn a spot on the green tonight.
And incredibly, one of them will take home
a quarter million dollars.
‐Oh, it bounces in! ‐It's in!
Hi, everybody. I'm Joe Tessitore.
And I'm Rob Riggle. And this is...
"Holey Moley 3 - D"!
In 2D.
And the finale.
Hey, Rob, there is one question on everyone's mind tonight.
I'll just say it.
It is my natural hair color.
That wasn't the question. Huh?
Who of our nine champions will be the one to win it all?
Oh, yeah. That's how they make the popcorn.
Well, that makes sense.
Here they come, Joe.
There they are ‐‐ our nine finalists,
all donning that prestigious, iconic
Holey Moley plaid jacket.
And, boy, does that plaid bring out their eyeballs, Joe.
Take a look.
Anyways, tonight's finale works a little differently, folks.
Round 1, our nine super champions ‐‐
they're gonna face off three at a time,
and they're gonna do it on three of the toughest holes
we've ever had at "Holey Moley."
Those three winners will battle it out in the second round,
where one of them will be eliminated.
The remaining two ‐‐ they'll head to the final round,
and they will face off
on the longest extreme mini golf hole ever created.
And only one will walk away
with that quarter million dollar prize
and be crowned the grand champion
of "Holey Moley" Season 3.
Rob, any final thoughts before we get things going here?
I don't know, Joe. I just, you know ‐‐
Ah, I feel like a proud papa, you know,
and I'm just so proud of my babies.
I can see that you are.
Alright, let's get right to the action.
The first hole of the night,
quarter million dollars on the line.
It's Hole Number Two.
Here's Jeannie Mai to take us through it one last time.
This may be Hole Number Two,
but it's definitely my hole number one.
Golfers start by teeing off down a narrow 50‐foot channel.
Then when the light turns green...
...they'll try to make it across.
If they happen to get knocked down into the brown,
it's a one‐stroke penalty.
Ew.
Whoo! Thanks, Jeannie.
Whoa!
This is what it looks like
when champions come to meet up.
Gotta say, I'm excited.
‐Whoo! ‐Whoo!
This is a wildly intriguing match‐up
here on Hole Number Two ‐‐
the "Ruthless Rugby Rucker," Rachel Lentsch,
Zamboni driver Jack Bennett,
and "The Lucky Lady," blackjack dealer Cindy Wu.
Cindy "Wu‐hoo!" has made it to the finals.
There is no secret to winning "Holey Moley."
Gotta hold on! Wow!
That was perfect.
Everything I do, luck has been involved.
She did it! And I follow through
with my pretty putts.
Hair flip. That's become her thing.
So I do that a lot, too. I've noticed that.
I thought that was a tic, though.
I am going to hit the jackpot,
and I'm gonna win $250,000.
‐Oh! ‐Oh!
House will always win.
Ooh!
My name is Rachel Lentsch.
I made it this far, and I'm not backing down now.
‐
What do you got, Rachel?
When I played the first hole, The Fishing Hole,
it was so close. Oh!
Oh, she almost made it! Oh!
But I nailed it under pressure.
Nice job.
Whoo‐hoo!
The Corn Hole definitely stuck out
because I cruised past it.
Yes!
Bruce didn't.
Vaporized! Oh!
So I made it through to the jousting.
Justin was very confident in that one.
She survives it!
But I knocked him down a little bit.
Yes! She did it, Joe!
I am the Ruthless Rugby Rucker.
Fellow finalists, get the ruck out of my way.
For those of you that don't remember me,
I'm Jack Bennett, the 64‐year‐old Zamboni driver
from Glenwood City, Wisconsin.
It takes a real miniature golfer
to breeze through it like I did.
Here he goes ‐‐ Jack.
He hit his shoulder and lost his balance.
He just gave himself another 10 years of life.
It's all about the putt on Dutch Courage Fuego.
Maybe, maybe!
He did it! That's a hole in one!
And I was on fuego.
A hole in one! Whoo!
My biggest takeaway on "Holey Moley" is
it's all about the putting.
Are you not entertained?!
And I'm putting it all together tonight.
Just watch. Whoo!
What do you think Jack Bennett would do
with a quarter million dollars, Rob?
No doubt about it. He buys a new Zamboni.
This is a good‐looking tee shot from Jack Bennett.
Oh, look at this!
You can't do better than that on Hole Number Two.
Jack Bennett is sitting perfect on that green,
chasing that quarter million dollars.
64‐year‐old from Wisconsin,
now facing one of the most famous runs
in all of extreme mini golf ‐‐
the porta potties.
Oh, he slipped at the start.
Oh!
Santa just opened the door
right into the top of his noggin.
Santa Claus just finished him.
Ho, ho, ho!
Let's watch the replay, Joe.
This is too much. Take us through it, Riggle.
Too much power, too much torque.
Got the wheels spinning.
Poor Jack got out in front of his feet and ‐‐
Oh! Agh!
He's going in, and Santa comes
and kicks sand in his face.
‐Oh! ‐Ooh.
Now, here's one of the winners that took things by storm...
Whoo! ...Cindy Wu,
the 28‐year‐old blackjack dealer from Las Vegas.
Cindy Wu has been a juggernaut.
A lot on this, Riggle. A lot is on this.
Oh, and it got the bad kick.
That's what happens.
If you put too much juice on this tee shot,
you're gonna have to deal with the ridge
here on Hole Number Two.
Cindy Wu...
Yeah, you got it.
...on Hole Number Two.
There it is.
Out of the gates ‐‐ She's got a shot here.
Oh! Right at the end! Oh!
Last door! Last door, Joe!
Oh!
Last door got her.
There, let's go through the replay, Riggle.
Watch her go airborne here.
And right there, the last one.
She moves sideways three feet.
Well, this woman may be the best overall athlete.
It's Rachel Lentsch,
the 30‐year‐old from Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Good‐looking putt.
If it grabs that bridge, and it does...
but it won't get over. Oh!
She's among the fastest competitors we have had
on "Holey Moley" in three seasons.
Former star rugby player,
can flat‐out go.
Let's go, Rachel!
Can she beat the clock and the porta potties?
Here she goes!
She slipped at the start.
And still made it, Riggle!
Wow! What an athlete.
She never disappoints.
Rachel Lentsch ‐‐ absolute blazing speed.
Here it is.
Most times, if you slip at the top...
You're done. ...you're done.
She's a dynamic athlete.
So, an interesting situation.
Jack Bennett, closest to the hole, lies two.
Cindy Wu also lies two,
but has that ridge to contend with,
as does Rachel Lentsch, who lies one.
Cindy Wu is away.
This for a three.
Over the ridge, takes a hop.
Took a shot at it.
Doesn't get much return action.
I like the fact that she took a bold stab at it.
You're playing for a championship.
Yeah, you're playing for a ‐‐ There is no tomorrow.
You don't want to have any regrets...
Yeah. ...at this stage of the game.
Rachel Lentsch.
30‐year‐old.
She's an engineer after a phenomenal
athletic career as a rugby star.
Jack Bennett awaits his opportunity.
We've got Rachel in the driver's seat.
What can she do?
Keep in mind, this is for the win
from Rachel Lentsch.
And she did it! She did it!
Rachel is off to round number two
of this season finale.
She is that much closer to a quarter million dollars.
How about that?
Rachel Lentsch with a Round 1 winner
on Hole Number Two.
We will have another three champions
battling out when we come back.
Whoo!
By the way, have you seen Stephen anywhere?
I have not seen Stephen Curry.
No, not at all.
I got nothing.
That's strange, 'cause he made this huge commitment
to the whole thing going pro, but yet...
Yeah. I mean, you'd think they'd, you know,
keep a bell on him or something.
"Ding, ding," you know? He's pretty popular.
I don't know. We'll keep our eyes open for him.
Ah, he's not in this room.
Good evening. Kevin Negandhi here.
Stephen Curry is set to make a major announcement today,
so we are expecting something big.
I had a dream one day that extreme mini golf
would be a great American professional sport.
But after talking to my family, my friends, my teammates,
an accountant, two different financial advisors,
and a bankruptcy lawyer,
today I'm announcing my decision
to go pro in basketball.
Y‐You are a pro basketball player.
Your name's Stephen Curry.
That's kind of what you're famous for.
Wait. So do I have to give him his locker back?
That's not cool.
It don't matter. Let's do this.
I got something for you, Slim.
Ah!
Reporter #Right here, right here, right here!
Reporter # Stephen, right here.
Welcome back to basketball, Steph Curry.
He did the right thing ‐‐ completely gave up on it.
You have to respect him.
Their loss, basketball's gain.
He shot and he missed, but at least he took his shot.
Noble effort. Good to have you back, Steph.
Are you kidding me?
He left basketball. There's a price to be paid.
We want to see him back on the courts.
Do we?
There's a million other players, y'all. Yeah.
Welcome back to the "Holey Moley" season finale.
Our next Round 1 match‐up is a formidable one...
‐Whoo! ‐Yeah, baby!
...the "Mountain G. O. A. T. of Mini Golf,"
Tyler Gattoni,
"Animal Whisperer" Todd Engel,
and mini golf super fan David Biggy.
I'm David Biggy. I love mini golf so much...
Ow!
...I even get to write about miniature golf in my paper.
See? Check it out.
All the years I've been playing miniature golf...
Yeah, baby!
...have really prepared me for this moment.
‐Oh! ‐Ah! No!
I definitely have what it takes to win "Holey Moley."
Yeah, baby!
Hi. My name is Todd Engel, I'm 48 years old,
and I'm known as the Animal Whisperer of Mini Golf.
Primal cry. Very primal out of Todd Engel.
My main goal was to not get knocked out in the first round.
Everything else is just gravy on top.
There it is! Yes! Straight in.
I'm extremely happy with how far I went.
And he does it. And he does it.
Todd Engel is a champion tonight. There it is!
How far I'm going ‐‐ Sorry, 'cause it's not over yet.
I'm Tyler Gattoni,
and I'm the Mountain G. O. A. T. of Mini Golf.
Do you ever look up on the cliff,
and you see the mountain goats up there
stuck to the side of that cliff?
They're very sure‐footed.
Oh!
I climbed my way to the top
by winning my first three rounds.
Oh! Oh, he does it.
But winning "Holey Moley"...
Wow! Whoa!
...is definitely gonna be the peak
of my entire competition.
Yeah!
Will one of these golfers take home
the quarter of a million dollars tonight?
To have a chance,
they'll first need to handle The Pecker.
Here's Jeannie.
Thanks, Joe.
It's time to find out our golfers' pecking order.
Now, they'll start by putting down the branch
to get to the green.
Then they'll attempt to mount that huge pecker
and grab its feather.
If they miss the feather and fall into the nest,
they're gonna walk away with a penalty stroke
and a little egg on their face.
Anybody's game. Let's go.
That is... Alright.
Season finale.
And right now, these three men overlooking that giant pecker.
Tyler Gattoni, as his tee shot...
‐That's all right. ‐Whoo!
Oh. First putt's on the way ‐‐ Gattoni.
Tyler Gattoni. We'll see where it goes.
Are you familiar with the band Tony! Toni! Toné!?
Yes. I think Gattoni should be part of that.
I think he should be the fourth in Tony! Toni! Toné! ‐‐ Gattoni.
There it is. Takes every possible kick here on The Pecker.
And he's on the right side of the green... Oh!
...where that hump will be in play.
Now it's time to jump on a cold, hard pecker.
That pecker's so cold, it's got frost on it.
It does. It's a frosty pecker.
Tyler Gattoni.
See if he can apply some athleticism to The Pecker.
There goes Tyler. He connects onto the beak.
Oh! Oh, and then he slips off.
That is harder than it looks, Joe.
Tyler couldn't hold on.
Some guys just don't know how to ride a pecker.
Hello, ball.
Biggy really bending over
and grabbing low on that shaft.
His tee shot.
‐Oh, you got it. ‐That's a great putt.
Yes. Grabs the channel.
This could put him in a very good spot.
Give me that hole in one, baby.
How big does he come up, Rob?
Got a chance. Got a chance.
Watch the bounce. Got a chance, Joe.
Other side of the ridge. Ohh!
Agh!
David Biggy's only gonna have
about two feet to clean this up.
Oh, this is what he does every time ‐‐
takes off the glasses.
I think they're on upside down.
Puts on the goggles. I really do.
And now he will have to make that launch.
Biggy ‐‐ Oh! Never had a shot. Wow. Never even...
Don't peck me! Don't peck me!
Todd Engel ‐‐ the 48‐year‐old animal lover
who should feel right at home with this giant pecker.
A lefty tee shot. It grabs the channel.
Whoa! It's in!
Watch out. He should be on that same side
where the cup is.
Todd Engel's ball... Get in there!
...it's off the embankment and again ‐‐
Oh! Missed it. Oh! It takes a bad kick.
Well, that's a rip‐off for Todd Engel.
Todd Engel now.
Hey, Mom. I'm riding a pecker.
Todd Engel ‐‐ he's on the beak.
He's got it. Don't fall o‐‐ Oh.
He actually landed with two feet on the beak.
You just gotta jump on the pecker,
grab the feather, tickle the pecker.
Season finale, Round 1,
and they all lie two.
Gattoni and Engel really worried here.
Just look at Biggy's advantage.
They have to get this.
Tyler Gattoni.
Largest prize in mini golf on the line.
Over the ridge.
He's done it!
He does it! Wow!
Whoo!
Gentlemen.
Wah! Ooh.
Todd Engel now.
Come on, Todd. Good line.
And the pressure is on...
to survive.
Over the ridge.
‐No! ‐And he misses.
Todd Engel is out.
David Biggy ‐‐ winner here,
will be in the final threesome
to putt for a quarter million dollars.
No pressure!
He's gonna be in a putt‐off, most likely.
With David Biggy's putting prowess,
I would almost call that a gimme.
‐Oh, no! ‐Oh, my God!
‐Oh, no! ‐Tyler Gattoni wins.
Wow! Can you believe that?
That was a gimme. Yes!
Tyler Gattoni now joins Rachel Lentsch
in the second round of the season finale.
Only one more slot remains.
Who will join Rachel and Tyler?
We will find out when we return.
That's gonna haunt Biggy for a long time.
It is.
Welcome back to the "Holey Moley" season finale.
Here come our three champions
to find out who will get the last spot
in Round 2 of this season finale.
This is how it breaks down.
We've got Ben Rogers, the Aussies' choice. That's right.
We've got Jose Alvarez, the people's choice.
He's the people's champ.
And, of course, Blake Sledge! ‐‐
Riggle's choice.
I'm Blake Sledge. I'm from Denver, Colorado.
I had no doubt I would make it this far.
Confidence is key.
Whoo!
Yeah. Blake Sledge.
I'm a pro golfer, and I'll tell you,
it's a battle out here.
Blake Sledge!
I got my green jacket. I got a dope gold putter.
His business is kicking butt.
And business is good.
Let's get this done, baby!
G'day. My name's Ben Rogers.
I'm 28 years old.
And I'm from Melbourne, Australia.
I came from Australia for this competition.
For the win! Oh!
Let's go!
And I'm gonna prove that Aussies
are the best mini golfers in the world.
‐Oh! ‐Wow!
The first time any player has conquered The Pecker.
I can be anything you want ‐‐ thunder down under...
Oh!
...frightening lightning.
Yeah, I'm gonna win it all.
You beauty!
Hi. My name is Jose Alvarez,
and I'm "The Groundskeeper of Mini Golf."
Wow!
I'm 51 years old...
Come on, come on.
...so I think my competitors underestimated me.
Oh, he made it! He made it!
This $250,000...
Ohh!
...I got my daughter, that I'm getting her through college.
The people's champion. I like that.
Vamos! Let's get it on.
This is the battle that we've been waiting for, Rob.
And it all happens here on Corn Hole.
Players have to put across a 30‐foot grass pathway,
try to bank your ball, get it up into the corn hole,
but you gotta make a mad dash across the giant corn cob,
trying to avoid the popping kernels.
If you get popped off course, it's a stroke penalty.
Once you pop, the fun does stop on this one, Joe.
First to tee off is Jose Alvarez.
This looks good. This looks good.
Takes the bank. This looks good.
Could wrap around towards the hole.
If it settles in there, that's not bad.
Got it in place. Got it in place.
51‐year‐old Jose ‐‐ he conquered the corn
the night he won his plaid jacket.
Can he do it again tonight?
Oh, no, he missed it.
Oh, a bad start.
Oh, that was terrible.
And he got blasted by the kernels. Ohh!
Let's go to the Xtreme LED screen.
He got a bad start here. Gets it in the midsection.
Gets it in the head. That's a stroke penalty.
I hate that for him, 'cause he is the people's choice,
the people's champion, and the people chose wrong.
That's just a stone‐cold fact,
especially with Blake Sledge in the field.
Coming up to the tee right now ‐‐
Ben Rogers, the Aussie.
There's the bank off the scarecrow base. Ooh.
Ah, it's gonna settle in right next to Jose Alvarez's ball.
Now here comes the run
to get past the giant ear of corn.
Here he goes.
The kernels. He made it!
Oh! Oh, he made it. Wow!
This is the kind of championship‐level performance
you have to have in a season finale.
Avoiding the stroke penalty could be the difference.
Last to take his tee shot...
Blake Sledge!
Off the scarecrow base. Ohhhh!
Good pace, good pace. Similar putt.
Yeah, that's a nice putt right there.
That's a good putt.
He's getting the legs pumped up.
I feel sorry for the corn
that tries to explode on Blake Sledge.
Here he goes.
Let's go, Blake Sledge!
Oh, he doesn't have it. Oh!
Blake Sledge is in the popcorn pan.
Oh, no!
Here's the thing, Joe.
He's too much, man.
He's too much Blake Sledge!
"He's too much man" is your analysis?
Yep, that's my official verdict.
That is superhero Blake Sledge busting through Corn Hole.
Oh! That's my poster.
Oh, my gosh.
Rogers lies one.
Alvarez and Sledge lie two.
Rogers is up first.
He will be putting for the win.
The marketing strategist from Melbourne, Australia,
trying to get to the final three. Ooh.
And he misses, and then he leaves himself that?
Wow. He leaves himself that?
Jose Alvarez in a very familiar position,
a putt that's almost identical to the one
he sank the last time he was on Corn Hole.
Can he do it again?
He does it! And he does it.
Oh! What a putt.
Putt by Jose Alvarez!
Jose Alvarez read that beautifully.
And now Ben Rogers has to make this
to stay alive.
Quarter million dollar opportunity for the Aussie.
Pressure is on.
He's eliminated. Ben Rogers is out.
Good effort, buddy. Good effort.
It will come down to Blake Sledge
trying to match Jose Alvarez.
I'm just gonna say it.
If anybody can do it, it's Blake Sledge!
Blake Sledge is a one handicap.
He's a professional golfer.
He's trying to stay in it.
He must make this putt.
And he doesn't. Oh, no!
No!
Noooooo! Blake Sledge misses.
Jose Alvarez is moving on.
Got it, baby!
It'll be Rachel Lentsch, Tyler Gattoni,
and Jose Alvarez ‐‐
the final three going after a quarter million dollars.
Blake Sledge!
Have you noticed that you become very fanatical
over certain athletes who you like,
and you become obsessed?
I don't see it.
Blake Sledge!
Welcome back to "Holey Moley."
Round 2 action about to get underway.
Three of our super champions remain ‐‐
the Mountain G. O. A. T. of Mini Golf, Tyler Gattoni,
Ruthless Rugby Rucker, Rachel Lentsch,
and the Groundskeeper of Mini Golf, Jose Alvarez.
‐Whoo! ‐Let's get it!
And it's a knockout round.
Only the top two will advance to putt
for a quarter million dollars.
They will play on The Fishing Hole,
sponsored by takemefishing.org.
Speaking of catching a huge bass, Joe...
I said nothing about catching a huge bass at all.
...I caught a 14‐pounder during lunch.
During lunch? Where?
Places to fish are closer than you think, my friend ‐‐
a little tip I picked up from takemefishing.org,
my go‐to site for all things fishing and boating.
How do you have any time to eat lunch?
Lunch?!
They serve lunch here?
Wait. Wait a minute. You get lunch?
Here's a reminder as to how The Fishing Hole works.
Our golfers putt their ball across a narrow bridge,
under the jumping fish, and onto the green.
But then the golfers themselves have to get past the giant fish
and onto the other side.
If they go into the water, it's a stroke penalty.
Jose Alvarez will be up first.
Alright. This is it.
Alvarez has proven himself to be a good putter
and an exceptional athlete against the obstacles.
Oh, no!
And it hits that first bumper on the green
and kicks back to the left.
Oh. There's no good shot from there.
Time to slap some fish!
His first go of it on Fishing Hole.
Alright. I like what he's doing already.
He's doing the start‐stop method.
You believe that the start‐stop method
is the way to go?
I've always been an advocate for that.
Oh! Oh, no!
Didn't even get past the first fish.
I want to talk about that hat
because it was rocketed off his head.
It looked like his hat was on a string
and someone just yanked it off his head.
That will be a stroke penalty for Jose Alvarez.
Here's the 30‐year‐old from the Twin Cities,
Rachel Lentsch.
That's a good putt.
It's a good putt. It's through.
Over the ridge.
Oh! That's a very good putt,
as on the return off the ramp,
it goes right past the cup and settles in.
That's a great putt!
Now, can this speedy former rugby player
get past the three jumping fish?
Oh! Oh! Right into the first fish.
She got sent.
A rare misstep for Rachel Lentsch.
Has she left the door open now for Tyler Gattoni?
You.
Both of his competitors sit two
because they both incurred the stroke penalty.
Gattoni... Oh.
...under the fish, takes the hop,
off the ramp, comes back,
and he's gonna be in a similar position
to Rachel Lentsch.
What could decide this knockout round
is this run by Gattoni.
God, these fish are moving.
Only the top two will advance to putt for the quarter mil.
Will Gattoni take my advice?
Oh, he's through. Now he's doing it.
Watch this, Joe. Oh, he's through again.
See? Gattoni did it!
Start‐stop!
Tyler Gattoni gets through the jumping fish clean.
Whoo! Did you see that, Joe?
I'm the best!
Why are you taking credit for Gattoni's success?
I've been preaching start‐stop from the beginning.
No one's come close.
He did it, not you.
It was a team effort, Joe.
Great job by Tyler Gattoni.
Me and Gattoni. Start‐stop.
Jose Alvarez is in such a tough spot here.
You are going in.
One of the tougher putts we have seen on Fishing Hole.
Let's go, Jose.
Oh, it's about as straight as he can hope for.
And he will lie three from there.
Left the door open.
Top two advance. Knockout round.
That means that Gattoni has two putts
to advance to the final.
He might not need them.
It's Tyler Gattoni, for crying out loud,
"The Assassin" ‐‐
just one possible nickname.
Oh, no, too hard. "Oh, no" is right.
What in the Sam Hill was that?
There are some unique pressures when you get to this point.
‐Faster than you think, yeah. ‐It's very fast.
Alvarez already sits three.
Gattoni lies two, Rachel for a three,
and punching her ticket
to a quarter million dollar opportunity.
Oh, she accelerated! Oh, no!
Tyler Gattoni now, his third stroke,
with a quarter million dollars on the line.
There it is! Yes!
Tyler Gattoni is the first of our champions
to make it to the final round.
He will putt for a quarter million dollars.
Now the question becomes, who will join him?
It is sudden death between Jose Alvarez and Rachel Lentsch.
Oh, boy.
This is the most stressed out I've ever been in my life.
Going in.
All the way, you're going in.
Jose Alvarez is away.
‐Nice and easy. ‐Yep.
They both lie three.
Oh, no!
And it just goes to the right of the cup.
How did that stay out of the hole, Joe?
At the last second, it broke off.
Jose will be eliminated if Rachel hits this putt,
and it will be Tyler and Rachel if she can sink this.
And she puts it in,
and it will come down to
Rachel Lentsch and Tyler Gattoni. Good job, guys.
It was a great run by Jose Alvarez.
Thank you all.
So there they are ‐‐ the final two.
They're gonna play for what we've been talking about
all season long ‐‐
a $250,000 putt
on the longest extreme mini golf hole ever created,
when we return to " The Season Finale."
I do think they're the two best.
Maybe they should get married and have super children.
Can you imagine how good their kids would be
at Holey Moley? Oh.
They might even have, like, super powers.
No, honestly. It could be a family business.
Really, truly. Yeah.
Welcome back to the "Holey Moley" season finale final round,
and it all comes down to two ‐‐
Tyler Gattoni and Rachel Lentsch.
They're about to battle it out
for a quarter million dollars
on the longest extreme mini golf hole ever created,
Parfishdutch.
It's like the turducken of golf.
It is like the turducken of golf.
It's an epic 300‐foot‐long beast
covering three of our toughest obstacles.
And it begins on The Parcade.
Golfers hit their ball up the giant pinball machine,
make their way across the flippers,
where once again they come face to face
with the three enormous bobbing fish on The Fishing Hole.
Finally, the golfers end up at Dutch Courage En Fuego,
and that's where they putt it out
for that quarter million dollar prize.
Second place, a set of steak knives.
There they are, Joe.
This is the moment.
This is really the dream match‐up ‐‐
two of the best competitors we have seen,
and it is the finale.
‐Oh, my God! ‐Whoo!
Course Marshal Colin, of course, taking their plaid jackets
and throwing them in the back of his pickup truck.
Well, you know how this works on The Parcade.
We have five iconic "Holey Moley" holes
in the middle of the pinball machine.
The best hole is Uranus.
I'm feeling... Uranus?
She's cracking wise on his anus.
I mean, I like Uranus, but I'm feeling the lumberjack.
Gattoni ‐‐ remember, he's from Littleton, Colorado.
He says his biggest lifetime goal
is to climb Mount Everest.
Oh!
And it just misses Uranus,
and it goes to Putter Ducky. Quack!
Boy, that popped in and out of Uranus.
And Putter Ducky's not bad at all either.
‐Nice one. That's a good putt. ‐Alright!
Keep in mind, there are four penalty stroke hazards
when you play Parfishdutch.
This is the first one ‐‐ the flippers.
That's thumping.
The flippers has proven to be
one of the most difficult obstacles
in the history of "Holey Moley."
Here we go.
Damn it!
Oh! Ah!
Can he make it? He's still on.
He's not in the water yet.
Tyler will not give up! Go!
He's gonna fight to the end.
‐Yah! ‐Oh!
Oh, nice try, Tyler!
That was a valiant effort.
I've never seen anybody shaking like that.
It was as if he was holding on
to the actual quarter million...
Yes. ...in that moment.
Rachel Lentsch now up to putt
on this mega quarter million dollar hole.
Oh, oh, oh!
She's got Uranus! Whoo!
Right in Uranus, Joe.
This should come out in best ‐‐
Now, this is strange. Wow.
Nice. It's the hole that exits
typically with the best position,
yet somehow the angle that Tyler got
out of Putter Ducky is ahead of Rachel.
Well, there you go. Stranger things have happened.
This is why this is so unpredictable, Joe.
What is predictable is
the athleticism of Rachel Lentsch.
We have seen throughout her dynamic season
her speed conquer many obstacles.
Rachel versus the flippers! No, no chance.
No chance at all. So she takes the stroke penalty, as well.
There are so many potential places
to either lose or gain ground here.
Rachel is away, so she will have
sort of a reverse tee shot on Fishing Hole.
Oh, the fish again.
There's the rugby player coming out there, huh? Yeah.
Here's Rachel's third stroke on Parfishdutch.
She's through.
That's a very good putt.
Nice. Bounces off the boat.
Now she needs to avoid the stroke penalty.
Third time's the charm.
Taking on the fish is one thing.
Taking on the water cannons and the fish ‐‐
totally different. Here she goes.
Past the first fish and into the water. Oh!
Oh, brutal. It's always the second fish.
So Rachel lies four.
What could be the deciding factor
in this mega match for a quarter million dollars
is the success that Tyler Gattoni
has already had on this portion
of Parfishdutch.
Oh!
Oh, that hit one of the fish and came back, Rob.
Wow. That is gonna be costly.
This is now his fourth stroke.
Off of the ship. It goes past Rachel's.
Oh! He may have a look at the windmills from there.
That's gonna be very close to wrapping around that corner.
They both lie four right now.
Alright, fish.
But if Gattoni wants to have any chance at an advantage,
he has to stay dry.
He cannot go into the water.
He's got to have this, Joe.
He's done it before.
Here he goes. Start and stop...
Not even close!
He gets twisted and sent into the water.
That's a stroke penalty.
So right now, Rachel has the advantage.
She lies four. Gattoni lies five.
Wow. I tell you what ‐‐
this is a real death match.
It's gonna be a fight to the end.
No one's giving this away.
She's looking at that wall, Rob.
You think she banks it off? Yeah.
As a peak ‐‐ ooh! It's gonna be tough. Oh, boy.
She just lost her advantage,
as she is tucked into that corner.
Oh, yeah. That's a deadly lie.
That is...not good.
They both now lie five
with a quarter million dollars on the line.
There will be a winner after this short break.
You know that new car of mine?
Put 3,000 large on Gattoni.
If I have to walk home tonight
it's 'cause Gattoni screwed it up.
Welcome back to the "Holey Moley" season finale.
And it comes down to these two ‐‐
Rachel Lentsch and Tyler Gattoni.
They both lie five, but only one
is about to pocket that quarter million dollars.
Tyler's sixth stroke coming up.
Course Marshal Joe looking on.
By the way, Joe, I went outside
to go 10‐1 just a second ago.
Did you really?
Ran into Course Marshal Joe. Oh!
And he said, "I hope you're not
giving me a hard time this year."
And I said, "No, no, Joe, not at all."
10 episodes in, and he's just picking up on things.
Oh, nice shot, Tyler.
Oh, my gosh, he's through!
Look at Tyler Gattoni!
That is a spectacular putt!
That is a clutch ‐‐ critical swing moment
with a quarter million dollars on the line.
Tyler versus the blades.
‐He's through! ‐He's through!
Wow! One more obstacle to overcome
for the 32‐year‐old handyman from Littleton, Colorado.
Oh, no!
He caught it in the hip!
No, Tyler! I don't believe it!
On the very last obstacle,
Tyler incurs another stroke penalty.
Agh! He now lies seven.
Rachel lies five.
But she's in that corner.
Perfect.
That is as good as you can do there.
And now this will be her seventh stroke,
and they will both lie seven.
This is for a quarter million dollars,
if ever she could.
Ooh. Off to the left,
and then it'll come back down the slope.
And they both lie seven,
but there are two windmills in front of Rachel Lentsch.
The rugby player versus the windmill
with a quarter million dollars on the line.
Goes through, and she slips through! Oh, yes!
Wow! Got flipped. And she made it through.
She has one obstacle to go.
If Rachel can get past this windmill,
we will be all level, seven strokes apiece.
She's too far back.
Has to get through ‐‐ She does!
And she does! Wow!
Seven heaven for Rachel and Tyler. Hell yeah! Whoo!
We have a tie game here, folks, on Parfishdutch.
This is a roller coaster ride of a competition
with a quarter million on the line.
Oh! I can't handle it, Joe.
My heart's beating too fast.
My adrenaline's going too fast.
I can't take it!
Rachel trying to read this just right.
It's a big putt.
Rachel ‐‐ four and eight.
Oh! It bounces in! It's in!
Yeah! Whoo! Whoo! It bounces in!
Rachel Lentsch has done it there. Whoo‐hoo‐hoo!
Now if Tyler makes, we have a putt‐off.
If Tyler misses,
the 30‐year‐old rugby player from Saint Paul, Minnesota,
is your champion and earns a quarter million dollars.
No!
He misses! He misses!
Rachel has won!
An all‐time finish
on the longest hole ever put together.
Nice work. Nice work. Thank you.
And finally, Rachel Lentsch does it. Yeah!
What a way to end season three, Rob.
I'm telling you, this is one of the great seasons of all time.
I couldn't think of a better hole to finish on
or two better competitors.
And there it is ‐‐ the bejeweled putter,
the most prized possession in all of extreme mini golf.
It only comes out once a year.
Rachel Lentsch is your champion, America.
Quarter million dollars in her pocket.
Rob, Jeannie, and I will be coming back
with Season 4 of "Holey Moley."
Look forward to that,
and we look forward to seeing you there.
Good night, everybody.
‐Rachel! ‐Whoo!
Are we done? Yes.
Get the hell out of here.
