1
00:00:06,049 --> 00:00:10,303
{\an8}[woman] So, can you explain what happened
at the Waste Management Phoenix Open?
2
00:00:11,596 --> 00:00:15,641
Uh, I'm assuming you want
to get to my taking off my shirt.
3
00:00:15,641 --> 00:00:20,480
- [crowd chanting] Take it off!
- [Dahmen] The place is going nuts.
4
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,816
{\an8}Harry Higgs and I are paired together,
and we're nearly in last place.
5
00:00:23,816 --> 00:00:26,736
{\an8}All of a sudden, people are like,
"Harry, take your shirt off!"
6
00:00:26,736 --> 00:00:28,071
[crowd chanting] We want tits!
7
00:00:28,071 --> 00:00:29,906
[Higgs] If this goes in,
shirt's coming off.
8
00:00:34,118 --> 00:00:35,161
[crowd cheers]
9
00:00:35,161 --> 00:00:37,705
- [announcer] Oh my lord.
- [announcer 2] Good god.
10
00:00:40,249 --> 00:00:41,542
[Dahmen] Beer cans are flying.
11
00:00:42,043 --> 00:00:45,671
It's loud, and I kind of
got caught up in the moment myself.
12
00:00:45,671 --> 00:00:46,756
[cheering]
13
00:00:46,756 --> 00:00:49,884
- [announcer] Oh no. Here we go.
- [announcer 2] Oh, jeez.
14
00:00:50,510 --> 00:00:52,470
Joel Dahmen getting in on the act.
15
00:00:54,305 --> 00:00:57,433
[Dahmen] I don't know if I regret it yet,
but maybe one of these days I will.
16
00:00:57,433 --> 00:00:59,560
And then the TOUR calls and yells at you.
17
00:01:00,645 --> 00:01:04,273
You're not supposed to take your shirt off
on a golf course, which makes sense.
18
00:01:04,273 --> 00:01:06,359
[energetic music playing]
19
00:01:13,199 --> 00:01:15,868
[man] He's just your friendly neighbor,
20
00:01:16,369 --> 00:01:19,122
{\an8}who's really fucking good
at hitting a golf ball.
21
00:01:20,706 --> 00:01:23,000
[announcer]
It's right at the flag. Might go in.
22
00:01:23,626 --> 00:01:27,547
- Oh! What a shot.
- [announcer 2] What a great shot that was.
23
00:01:28,422 --> 00:01:34,053
[Dahmen] For whatever reason,
I naturally was very gifted at golf early.
24
00:01:34,053 --> 00:01:35,179
[cheering]
25
00:01:36,055 --> 00:01:40,143
{\an8}[announcer] Joel Dahmen is a winner
on the PGA TOUR for the first time.
26
00:01:41,144 --> 00:01:42,854
You did it! You did it! [laughs]
27
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,984
It is so freaking hard
to win a golf tournament. [laughs]
28
00:01:47,984 --> 00:01:53,197
{\an8}Joel is the most self-deprecating,
least confident-sounding person
29
00:01:53,197 --> 00:01:56,117
who is incredible at what he does,
that I've ever met.
30
00:01:56,117 --> 00:01:58,995
[woman] Do you feel ready to win a major
at this stage in your career?
31
00:01:58,995 --> 00:02:01,164
No, not even close. [laughs]
32
00:02:03,082 --> 00:02:05,668
[announcer]
Dahmen clearly perturbed by that.
33
00:02:05,668 --> 00:02:07,378
Really not all that bad.
34
00:02:07,962 --> 00:02:11,257
{\an8}I think the thing that sets
the top golfers apart from the rest,
35
00:02:11,257 --> 00:02:13,092
{\an8}is belief in themselves.
36
00:02:13,092 --> 00:02:16,053
We're the best in the world
and set ourselves to high standards.
37
00:02:16,053 --> 00:02:17,972
One of the best rounds of my life.
38
00:02:18,556 --> 00:02:20,516
[Dahmen] The best players
are way better than me.
39
00:02:20,516 --> 00:02:23,728
I'll never be a top-ten player
in the world. I'll never win majors.
40
00:02:23,728 --> 00:02:27,148
Joel can compete with the best players
in the world because, truthfully,
41
00:02:27,148 --> 00:02:28,900
he is one of the best in the world.
42
00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:30,985
[dramatic music playing]
43
00:02:41,871 --> 00:02:43,873
[indistinct chatter]
44
00:02:50,838 --> 00:02:53,049
- [man] Ready to work out?
- [Dahmen] Yeah, so ready.
45
00:02:53,633 --> 00:02:57,345
{\an8}Can you give me heavier weights today
so I look better on camera?
46
00:02:57,345 --> 00:02:59,263
{\an8}- Hundred percent, buddy.
- Thanks.
47
00:02:59,263 --> 00:03:00,640
{\an8}My name is Joel Dahmen.
48
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:03,309
We're gonna start bottoms-up press,
facing me.
49
00:03:03,309 --> 00:03:05,144
I dunno what a bottoms-up press is.
50
00:03:05,144 --> 00:03:08,856
[Dahmen] I'm 34 years old, and I'm
a professional golfer on the PGA TOUR.
51
00:03:08,856 --> 00:03:09,899
[Kemp] Pull it.
52
00:03:09,899 --> 00:03:12,526
[grunts] That's so tight.
53
00:03:12,526 --> 00:03:14,862
- [Kemp] Just be tough for two seconds.
- I can't.
54
00:03:15,363 --> 00:03:17,573
[Dahmen] It's not like I don't try
and I don't practice,
55
00:03:17,573 --> 00:03:20,785
but someone's got to be
the seventieth-best golfer in the world.
56
00:03:20,785 --> 00:03:21,911
Might as well be me.
57
00:03:21,911 --> 00:03:25,498
Keep the glute turned on tight,
and then drop your rib cage.
58
00:03:25,998 --> 00:03:28,417
- Can't drop rib cage and flex butt.
- [Kemp] Yes, you can.
59
00:03:28,417 --> 00:03:31,712
[Dahmen] I'm a middle-of-the-road
PGA TOUR player.
60
00:03:31,712 --> 00:03:34,465
The top players, like Brooks Koepka
and Rory McIlroy,
61
00:03:34,465 --> 00:03:37,301
those guys,
they're just built differently.
62
00:03:37,301 --> 00:03:39,762
They're mentally just different.
63
00:03:39,762 --> 00:03:42,056
They hit it further.
They chip and putt better.
64
00:03:42,056 --> 00:03:45,017
Like, I'm not a threat
when I walk into these things, really.
65
00:03:45,017 --> 00:03:48,104
{\an8}- You want to try this?
- [Dahmen] You have to be super athletic.
66
00:03:48,104 --> 00:03:50,898
{\an8}I'm so much stronger than you. [laughs]
67
00:03:50,898 --> 00:03:54,527
{\an8}- [Dahmen] Your hand-eye is terrible.
- That's fine, but I'm stronger than you.
68
00:03:54,527 --> 00:03:56,404
[Lona] Joel is just a goofball.
69
00:03:56,404 --> 00:03:58,698
He's so fun-loving, happy,
70
00:03:58,698 --> 00:04:02,743
but I think it hasn't been
the easiest of roads to get to that point.
71
00:04:02,743 --> 00:04:03,995
[Lona] Good job, honey.
72
00:04:05,413 --> 00:04:09,125
[Lona] Joel's life experience
hasn't been easy by any means.
73
00:04:09,125 --> 00:04:12,712
Loss and trauma definitely
molded his direction in life.
74
00:04:12,712 --> 00:04:13,754
[grunts]
75
00:04:13,754 --> 00:04:16,132
Yeah, so cancer sucks.
76
00:04:17,425 --> 00:04:19,176
When I was a junior in high school
77
00:04:19,176 --> 00:04:21,846
my mom was diagnosed
with pancreatic cancer,
78
00:04:22,430 --> 00:04:25,141
given six months to live,
and passed almost six months to the day.
79
00:04:25,891 --> 00:04:28,352
Oh! And look what's down here!
80
00:04:30,730 --> 00:04:31,939
[voice breaking] And then, um...
81
00:04:34,317 --> 00:04:36,193
Seventeen years ago, still emotional.
82
00:04:41,741 --> 00:04:45,411
She did everything for me.
I never made my bed. I never did laundry.
83
00:04:45,411 --> 00:04:46,871
I was so spoiled by her.
84
00:04:46,871 --> 00:04:48,998
After her passing, I never grieved.
85
00:04:48,998 --> 00:04:51,250
I just hid it.
For those four or five years
86
00:04:51,250 --> 00:04:54,670
where most kids are excelling
in the college and planning to play pro,
87
00:04:54,670 --> 00:04:57,673
I was just kind of a leaf in the wind,
just blowing around.
88
00:04:58,924 --> 00:05:04,263
He was partying and didn't care,
and I don't think he really had direction.
89
00:05:05,473 --> 00:05:10,394
[Dahmen] I was living at home. I was like,
"Either get a job or play golf."
90
00:05:10,394 --> 00:05:13,606
And playing golf sounded like
the best option for me,
91
00:05:13,606 --> 00:05:15,483
so I kind of just dove into it.
92
00:05:15,483 --> 00:05:19,653
It was my only option left
of doing something great.
93
00:05:19,653 --> 00:05:20,613
[man] Nice drive.
94
00:05:21,113 --> 00:05:23,574
[Kemp] Did you go
back and forth four times?
95
00:05:23,574 --> 00:05:26,243
- [Lona] Three.
- [Kemp] Yeah, three this time, Joel.
96
00:05:26,243 --> 00:05:29,205
Go, Joel. Go, Joel, go.
Go, Joel. Go, Joel, go.
97
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:31,499
I wish I didn't like you so much.
98
00:05:31,499 --> 00:05:34,335
See, that's the deal.
You just gotta charm your trainer.
99
00:05:34,335 --> 00:05:35,628
[Kemp laughs] To death.
100
00:05:44,845 --> 00:05:46,347
[indistinct chatter]
101
00:05:47,932 --> 00:05:49,975
[upbeat music playing]
102
00:05:49,975 --> 00:05:52,061
[cheering]
103
00:05:55,106 --> 00:05:58,484
[announcer] Stunning Torrey Pines
on a glorious Thursday afternoon.
104
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,530
This is the seventieth edition
of The Farmers Insurance Open.
105
00:06:02,530 --> 00:06:03,989
{\an8}[indistinct chatter]
106
00:06:03,989 --> 00:06:08,452
{\an8}[announcer] This entire property will be
littered with a stacked field of stars.
107
00:06:09,078 --> 00:06:10,579
{\an8}[indistinct chatter]
108
00:06:10,579 --> 00:06:12,373
{\an8}I'm gonna go to the range for a bit.
109
00:06:16,293 --> 00:06:17,128
{\an8}Boys.
110
00:06:22,091 --> 00:06:22,925
{\an8}Hey, guys.
111
00:06:24,927 --> 00:06:27,763
{\an8}Give us a chance to shoot something good.
Know what I mean?
112
00:06:27,763 --> 00:06:30,349
{\an8}Make that putt on five,
I get in better though.
113
00:06:30,349 --> 00:06:33,811
[man] On the PGA TOUR, most tournaments
have a cut after 36 holes.
114
00:06:33,811 --> 00:06:36,272
Everyone plays on Thursday.
Everyone plays on Friday,
115
00:06:36,272 --> 00:06:39,442
and typically roughly half
the guys make the weekend.
116
00:06:39,442 --> 00:06:42,403
{\an8}If you miss the cut, you don't get
a paycheck. It's that simple.
117
00:06:44,321 --> 00:06:47,032
[Dahmen] Now I just hit this
right on those two balls.
118
00:06:48,659 --> 00:06:49,952
[Bonnalie] Be there, baby.
119
00:06:50,619 --> 00:06:52,496
In! Great shot, Joely.
120
00:06:53,289 --> 00:06:57,293
{\an8}A PGA TOUR player, they're the CEO,
they're the president, they're the GM,
121
00:06:57,293 --> 00:06:59,211
{\an8}they're everything of their own company.
122
00:06:59,211 --> 00:07:01,922
Golfers have sometimes a lot of coaches.
123
00:07:01,922 --> 00:07:05,551
Sometimes they have a swing coach,
and then their caddies,
124
00:07:05,551 --> 00:07:09,472
who can also usually double as
a swing coach or another set of eyes.
125
00:07:09,472 --> 00:07:12,308
Set up more down the middle, just hit it.
126
00:07:12,308 --> 00:07:16,729
[man] The caddies' most basic job is
to carry the bag of PGA TOUR player,
127
00:07:16,729 --> 00:07:19,732
but they also usually get yardages,
read greens,
128
00:07:19,732 --> 00:07:22,359
and tell their player which way
a putt is breaking.
129
00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:27,031
{\an8}Some player-caddie relationships on tour
are very business oriented,
130
00:07:27,031 --> 00:07:28,824
and some of are not.
131
00:07:32,077 --> 00:07:33,245
Ah!
132
00:07:36,874 --> 00:07:37,875
{\an8}Why am I so bad?
133
00:07:42,296 --> 00:07:43,797
- [sighs]
- [Bonnalie] Get there.
134
00:07:45,508 --> 00:07:47,593
Fuck, man. This is a shit show.
135
00:07:48,093 --> 00:07:51,639
Does your back hurt? We can call
rules and get the hell out of here.
136
00:07:52,389 --> 00:07:54,391
- Ow, my arm! My arm!
- [Bonnalie chuckles]
137
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:58,896
Let's see. Is there an earlier--
There is a three o'clock flight.
138
00:07:58,896 --> 00:08:01,440
I can get on it.
I gotta leave, like, right now though.
139
00:08:01,982 --> 00:08:03,192
[Dahmen] Geno is the greatest...
140
00:08:03,901 --> 00:08:06,237
second-greatest human alive,
behind my wife.
141
00:08:06,237 --> 00:08:09,031
He's my best friend,
who happens to be my caddie.
142
00:08:09,031 --> 00:08:10,032
[Bonnalie] All right.
143
00:08:11,367 --> 00:08:12,701
Shit's about to get fun.
144
00:08:13,202 --> 00:08:16,872
[Bonnalie] I've been caddying for Joel
for eight seasons now.
145
00:08:16,872 --> 00:08:21,252
I legitimately love him,
and I don't mean that to be weird.
146
00:08:21,252 --> 00:08:25,047
[Bonnalie] Well, the good news is
we have a bunch of freaking easy holes
147
00:08:25,047 --> 00:08:27,800
we're about to hammer through here.
148
00:08:28,342 --> 00:08:30,177
[Dahmen] I mean, I think we're...
149
00:08:30,177 --> 00:08:33,722
we're happy together. We sound like
a married couple, but we basically are.
150
00:08:33,722 --> 00:08:34,807
What can I do
151
00:08:35,975 --> 00:08:37,226
to make your life better?
152
00:08:37,226 --> 00:08:41,188
[Dahmen] Caddies are underappreciated
in what they have to deal with
153
00:08:41,188 --> 00:08:43,232
as far as being a psychologist.
154
00:08:43,232 --> 00:08:46,777
You have to know what you're getting
from your caddie, stay positive.
155
00:08:46,777 --> 00:08:49,071
He's gotta do the same
to make your job easier.
156
00:08:49,071 --> 00:08:50,197
That part is very hard.
157
00:08:50,197 --> 00:08:53,909
Sometimes I'll yell at him, or I might
even hit him. I've hit him before.
158
00:08:54,493 --> 00:08:56,495
I'm gonna miss
all the West Coast cuts again.
159
00:08:56,495 --> 00:08:58,622
I'm gonna fucking punch you in your ribs.
160
00:08:58,622 --> 00:09:02,001
You told me Tuesday you're gonna make
a million dollars the next four weeks.
161
00:09:02,001 --> 00:09:03,460
Then we gotta get after it.
162
00:09:03,460 --> 00:09:05,421
[Lona] Geno's come up to me
a couple times like,
163
00:09:05,421 --> 00:09:07,047
"Man, I'm getting fired after today."
164
00:09:07,047 --> 00:09:10,509
And I'm like, "No, you're not, Geno.
It's gonna be fine." [chuckles]
165
00:09:10,509 --> 00:09:13,470
[Dahmen] Geno's a lot more serious
than people think he is.
166
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:18,267
I think he takes our losses and some
of our failures a bit harder than I do.
167
00:09:18,267 --> 00:09:20,603
Well, on to next week.
168
00:09:21,270 --> 00:09:22,646
[Dahmen] Good job, Nick.
169
00:09:22,646 --> 00:09:24,857
{\an8}[Dahmen] Every time you miss a cut,
you're losing money.
170
00:09:24,857 --> 00:09:28,902
{\an8}Money can't buy happiness,
but it helps a lot.
171
00:09:29,945 --> 00:09:30,821
[Dahmen] Hello.
172
00:09:30,821 --> 00:09:32,406
- [Lona] How are ya?
- Good, you guys?
173
00:09:32,406 --> 00:09:34,575
- [Lona] Good.
- [Bonnalie] It wasn't your best, bud.
174
00:09:34,575 --> 00:09:37,870
Yeah, just put it on me.
That's fine. I sucked today.
175
00:09:37,870 --> 00:09:39,997
Joel did his job how he was supposed to.
176
00:09:39,997 --> 00:09:42,082
[suspenseful music playing]
177
00:09:50,257 --> 00:09:52,926
[Bonnalie] I don't know how my mom
has kept everything.
178
00:09:52,926 --> 00:09:57,723
In fact, I didn't even know she did
until just recently.
179
00:09:57,723 --> 00:10:00,809
And she's like, "Oh, I have
tons of stuff about you and Joel."
180
00:10:00,809 --> 00:10:04,271
"All the newspaper clippings
and whatnot from along the way."
181
00:10:07,358 --> 00:10:09,360
[chuckles] That's actually really funny.
182
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,196
It says, "How Dahmen and his caddie,
Geno Bonnalie, have formed
183
00:10:12,196 --> 00:10:15,240
one of golf's most entertaining duos."
184
00:10:15,741 --> 00:10:18,160
I would say that's probably
an accurate statement.
185
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,329
[screaming]
186
00:10:20,329 --> 00:10:22,706
[rock music playing]
187
00:10:23,290 --> 00:10:25,292
- He misses. Breaking left.
- Breaking so much!
188
00:10:25,292 --> 00:10:27,544
We got a champion of the short!
189
00:10:27,544 --> 00:10:28,545
Huh!
190
00:10:28,545 --> 00:10:30,297
Oh, he knocked it in!
191
00:10:30,297 --> 00:10:31,799
That wasn't even scary.
192
00:10:32,591 --> 00:10:34,343
[laughs]
193
00:10:34,343 --> 00:10:35,344
- We made it!
- Ah!
194
00:10:36,053 --> 00:10:38,138
[Dahmen] Geno and I grew up together
in a small town
195
00:10:38,138 --> 00:10:40,265
in northern Idaho, eastern Washington.
196
00:10:40,265 --> 00:10:43,560
We started playing golf
when I was, like, 12 or 13.
197
00:10:44,687 --> 00:10:46,689
And he had his driver's license
at the time.
198
00:10:46,689 --> 00:10:49,358
So he would pick me up
and we'd play golf after school and
199
00:10:50,484 --> 00:10:51,652
take me to Taco Bell.
200
00:10:51,652 --> 00:10:52,778
[Dahmen] Put it away.
201
00:10:53,696 --> 00:10:55,531
Oh my goodness, he's terrible.
202
00:10:56,031 --> 00:10:57,950
[Bonnalie]
I was pretty good in high school,
203
00:10:57,950 --> 00:11:01,078
but Joel was really good in eighth grade.
204
00:11:01,078 --> 00:11:04,873
He won state in his freshman year by,
like, eight strokes or something,
205
00:11:04,873 --> 00:11:06,458
which is just unheard of.
206
00:11:06,458 --> 00:11:08,877
This is exactly what
I wanted to see. Geno--
207
00:11:08,877 --> 00:11:10,212
Just go right up and over--
208
00:11:10,212 --> 00:11:12,756
Reach between your legs
to see if you've got balls.
209
00:11:12,756 --> 00:11:15,008
- Oh, he does!
- Wow!
210
00:11:15,718 --> 00:11:16,552
Partner!
211
00:11:17,052 --> 00:11:19,722
The story of how Geno
became my caddie is interesting.
212
00:11:20,973 --> 00:11:23,767
Basically, he had this email
that he sent to me.
213
00:11:24,601 --> 00:11:26,603
"First, I wanna say
how proud of you I am."
214
00:11:26,603 --> 00:11:28,605
"Not only are you gonna make the big time,
215
00:11:28,605 --> 00:11:30,774
I believe you're one
of the best in the world."
216
00:11:30,774 --> 00:11:32,735
"Not only are you gonna make it big time,
217
00:11:32,735 --> 00:11:34,945
I believe you're one
of the best in the world."
218
00:11:34,945 --> 00:11:35,946
[scoffs]
219
00:11:37,489 --> 00:11:39,241
I can't believe I'm getting emotional.
220
00:11:40,534 --> 00:11:41,952
That's how much I love Geno.
221
00:11:41,952 --> 00:11:46,123
That said, I'd like to officially apply
for the position of Joel Dahmen's caddie.
222
00:11:46,123 --> 00:11:50,544
"I want what's best for you, and I believe
you and I would thrive together." [laughs]
223
00:11:50,544 --> 00:11:53,839
[Dahmen] His first year with me,
I think he only made 87 dollars.
224
00:11:54,631 --> 00:11:55,841
[Bonnalie chuckles]
225
00:11:55,841 --> 00:11:57,843
Uh, those first two years were tight.
226
00:11:57,843 --> 00:12:01,638
"I already have a plan to get rid of
my truck and buy a Honda Civic
227
00:12:01,638 --> 00:12:03,849
and modify it to be my house."
228
00:12:03,849 --> 00:12:05,809
I totally did. I was going to buy--
229
00:12:05,809 --> 00:12:09,438
Actually, change it to Civic to Prius,
way better gas mileage.
230
00:12:09,438 --> 00:12:11,148
Oh, Geno...
231
00:12:11,648 --> 00:12:12,691
And, uh...
232
00:12:14,193 --> 00:12:15,444
I hired him, obviously.
233
00:12:15,444 --> 00:12:16,695
Uh...
234
00:12:16,695 --> 00:12:20,449
But I didn't hire him right away,
'cause I really didn't believe that
235
00:12:21,408 --> 00:12:22,826
he could be away from his son.
236
00:12:22,826 --> 00:12:27,206
I didn't believe that his wife
could imagine him being gone this long,
237
00:12:28,248 --> 00:12:31,460
but I didn't have other options,
and he seemed like a pretty good fit.
238
00:12:34,254 --> 00:12:37,424
[Bonnalie] You ready to jump
into this melted snow water, buddy?
239
00:12:38,133 --> 00:12:38,967
After you.
240
00:12:39,843 --> 00:12:41,762
Come on. No!
241
00:12:44,807 --> 00:12:47,601
[Bonnalie] The financial agreement
between players and caddies
242
00:12:47,601 --> 00:12:49,228
is usually, on the PGA TOUR,
243
00:12:49,228 --> 00:12:53,065
a couple thousand dollars a week
to cover your base expenses,
244
00:12:53,065 --> 00:12:59,112
and then anywhere from between seven
and ten percent of earnings as well.
245
00:12:59,863 --> 00:13:05,702
Essentially, all my success is dependent
on Joel's success on the golf course.
246
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:07,788
I wish it wasn't that way,
247
00:13:07,788 --> 00:13:11,542
but it's a sport that pays you
based on how you finish each week,
248
00:13:11,542 --> 00:13:15,420
and that's how I make my money,
as a percentage of his money.
249
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:19,341
No added pressure, Joel.
But yeah, it's all on him.
250
00:13:19,341 --> 00:13:21,426
[dance music playing]
251
00:13:21,426 --> 00:13:22,970
[indistinct chatter]
252
00:13:29,768 --> 00:13:31,103
[man] Twenty-one, win by two.
253
00:13:31,103 --> 00:13:32,813
- [Dahmen] Win by two.
- [man] All right.
254
00:13:32,813 --> 00:13:35,691
- I lead because I own the fucking house.
- That's true.
255
00:13:35,691 --> 00:13:37,776
[upbeat song in Spanish plays]
256
00:13:45,826 --> 00:13:47,327
- Getting drunk.
- [laughs]
257
00:13:47,327 --> 00:13:49,580
- Are you miked up right now?
- Yeah.
258
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:51,415
[laughing]
259
00:13:51,415 --> 00:13:52,583
Netflix, cut this.
260
00:13:53,292 --> 00:13:56,962
[Bonnalie] Joel is definitely different
from many of the other golfers out there.
261
00:13:56,962 --> 00:14:01,425
Joel's capable of being
top 30 in the world, I would say.
262
00:14:02,342 --> 00:14:05,804
That being said, I don't know if Joel
wants to be top 30 in the world.
263
00:14:05,804 --> 00:14:08,432
{\an8}I didn't mean to eat and run,
but I'm kinda exhausted.
264
00:14:08,932 --> 00:14:10,893
{\an8}Well, it's a big weekend. Oh, of course.
265
00:14:10,893 --> 00:14:14,229
[Homa] I would say most
of my adult-beverage nights with Joel
266
00:14:14,229 --> 00:14:17,232
end with me yelling at Joel
about how good he is at golf
267
00:14:17,232 --> 00:14:19,234
and trying to get him to realize it.
268
00:14:19,234 --> 00:14:20,444
What time you play tomorrow?
269
00:14:20,444 --> 00:14:22,070
So if you can't make it,
270
00:14:22,571 --> 00:14:25,032
I will not either,
and we'll just both pack it--
271
00:14:25,032 --> 00:14:27,242
- [Homa] Both get DQ'd?
- No, let's fly to Vegas.
272
00:14:27,242 --> 00:14:29,786
[Homa] Ooh, this is turning out nice!
273
00:14:31,121 --> 00:14:35,167
[Dethier] People have always wondered
if Joel puts himself down too much
274
00:14:35,167 --> 00:14:38,045
and if that could actually end up
affecting his play.
275
00:14:38,545 --> 00:14:43,383
{\an8}The next major is the U.S. Open,
and Joel actually needs to qualify
276
00:14:43,383 --> 00:14:46,845
for this one because he's not
one of the top-60 players in the world.
277
00:14:46,845 --> 00:14:47,763
Good!
278
00:14:47,763 --> 00:14:49,848
[suspenseful music playing]
279
00:14:51,475 --> 00:14:53,518
{\an8}[man] Welcome
to The Club at Admiral's Cove,
280
00:14:53,518 --> 00:14:56,939
the final qualifying for
the 122nd United States Open Championship.
281
00:14:57,606 --> 00:15:01,485
[Dethier] Every year, almost 10,000 people
try to qualify for the U.S. Open.
282
00:15:03,278 --> 00:15:06,907
One day, 36 holes,
at several different sites.
283
00:15:10,452 --> 00:15:12,204
They call it "the longest day in golf"
284
00:15:12,204 --> 00:15:15,040
because it's really a survival test
as much as anything.
285
00:15:20,963 --> 00:15:23,131
[Bonnalie] All right.
Let's go make birdies.
286
00:15:23,131 --> 00:15:27,219
[Dethier] The guys left standing from
that day go directly into the U.S. Open.
287
00:15:28,053 --> 00:15:30,973
[announcer] You're playing for 13 spots
and two alternates.
288
00:15:31,473 --> 00:15:36,186
Our next player,
from Clarkston, Washington, Joel Dahmen.
289
00:15:38,146 --> 00:15:39,106
[Bonnalie] Not bad.
290
00:15:41,733 --> 00:15:44,569
If you make some birdies quickly,
it would be much appreciated.
291
00:15:45,070 --> 00:15:45,904
Oh, shut up.
292
00:15:45,904 --> 00:15:49,616
[Bonnalie] In this particular location,
there's 13 spots up for grabs
293
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:52,285
and around a hundred people
vying for those spots.
294
00:15:52,786 --> 00:15:55,914
[Bonnalie] Stop spinning.
You deserve better than that.
295
00:15:55,914 --> 00:15:57,416
You got robbed.
296
00:16:00,669 --> 00:16:03,630
One bounce great, please. One more.
297
00:16:08,510 --> 00:16:09,970
{\an8}[Dahmen] I won't be a Hall of Famer.y
298
00:16:09,970 --> 00:16:12,806
When I retire with golf,
no one's gonna remember who I am.
299
00:16:12,806 --> 00:16:16,685
I understand that. I'm fine with it.
I'm not playing for legacy.
300
00:16:16,685 --> 00:16:19,312
Some people are like,
"That's why you'll never be great,
301
00:16:19,312 --> 00:16:21,356
'cause you don't believe it."
302
00:16:22,607 --> 00:16:23,442
[Dahmen] No way.
303
00:16:28,321 --> 00:16:32,117
Which of the guys behind me would you have
caddie for you on the last two holes?
304
00:16:32,617 --> 00:16:34,536
- You must feel good.
- I'll just do it.
305
00:16:34,536 --> 00:16:36,538
This is becoming a waste of a day.
306
00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:38,790
Do you even wanna go to the U.S. Open?
307
00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:40,917
I do. Only if you do, though.
308
00:16:42,669 --> 00:16:44,588
[Bonnalie] I think in that moment,
he was thinking
309
00:16:44,588 --> 00:16:46,298
we wouldn't even play the second 18.
310
00:16:46,882 --> 00:16:47,966
[man] You want a White Claw?
311
00:16:47,966 --> 00:16:51,928
Maybe multiple.
That's just the mojo we need, right?
312
00:16:52,429 --> 00:16:55,140
[Bonnalie] Had lunch and he's like,
"Might as well get a White Claw,"
313
00:16:55,140 --> 00:16:58,643
and I don't know if that's against
the rules or frowned upon or whatever,
314
00:16:58,643 --> 00:17:01,563
but they weren't drinking during a round,
so I think it's okay.
315
00:17:01,563 --> 00:17:05,025
I'm gonna leave you guys.
I gotta go shoot seven under,
316
00:17:05,025 --> 00:17:09,237
and it's starting to blow,
and I don't know if I got it in me.
317
00:17:09,237 --> 00:17:10,614
So we'll see.
318
00:17:11,323 --> 00:17:13,992
[Bonnalie] We need five under par
in the second round
319
00:17:13,992 --> 00:17:15,869
to advance into the U.S. Open.
320
00:17:19,289 --> 00:17:22,125
So just don't hit that tree
and don't put it in the bunker.
321
00:17:22,125 --> 00:17:24,503
Yeah, basically. Just do good.
322
00:17:26,213 --> 00:17:28,965
[Bonnalie] Wow. Great swing.
It's going a long ways.
323
00:17:28,965 --> 00:17:31,093
Wow, that went so far.
324
00:17:31,093 --> 00:17:34,262
You can't be bad. You got this one.
325
00:17:36,348 --> 00:17:38,892
That was straight ripped.
326
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:40,977
{\an8}- Great shot.
- Thank you.
327
00:17:40,977 --> 00:17:42,270
{\an8}That wasn't bad at all.
328
00:17:42,771 --> 00:17:47,734
{\an8}[Bonnalie] If Joel can keep focused
and trying to play good golf
329
00:17:47,734 --> 00:17:52,489
{\an8}and just grind out this round, I truly
believe we can get into the U.S. Open.
330
00:17:52,489 --> 00:17:54,950
The focus is to keep
moving up the leaderboard,
331
00:17:54,950 --> 00:17:56,785
because you never know what'll happen.
332
00:17:58,954 --> 00:18:00,831
Nice job. Congratulations on your birdie.
333
00:18:04,126 --> 00:18:08,171
Don't do anything stupid on the last hole,
and we're gonna play in the U.S. Open.
334
00:18:10,882 --> 00:18:12,801
{\an8}That was the greatest tap-in in my life.
335
00:18:12,801 --> 00:18:15,762
{\an8}[Bonnalie] Probably shouldn't have had
White Claws between rounds.
336
00:18:15,762 --> 00:18:16,888
Wow. Okay.
337
00:18:18,098 --> 00:18:20,600
[Bonnalie] But you know what?
It was only a couple.
338
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,564
Went out and ended up shooting five-under
in the second round and qualified.
339
00:18:25,564 --> 00:18:27,566
- Make sure you grab all your shit.
- I will.
340
00:18:28,775 --> 00:18:31,319
[Dahmen] I was proud of getting
a chance to play in the U.S. Open.
341
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:33,321
What you dream of
is playing in the majors.
342
00:18:33,822 --> 00:18:34,823
[Dahmen groans]
343
00:18:34,823 --> 00:18:35,824
[Lona] Go get him.
344
00:18:36,783 --> 00:18:38,160
[laughs]
345
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,079
Come here. Oh, you don't like the camera.
You big baby.
346
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:41,997
[Lona laughs] Yes.
347
00:18:41,997 --> 00:18:43,665
This is my baby boy.
348
00:18:44,166 --> 00:18:45,125
[Lona] Our dog now.
349
00:18:46,042 --> 00:18:47,711
Eight and a half years with you.
350
00:18:48,753 --> 00:18:51,298
You want scrambled, right? Yeah.
Is that what we decided?
351
00:18:52,048 --> 00:18:55,844
- Can you do a cheesy scramble?
- Yeah. I have some cheddar cheese.
352
00:18:56,845 --> 00:18:59,639
I think a lot of people
are life-and-death to golf,
353
00:18:59,639 --> 00:19:02,225
and we just have
a different perspective on that side.
354
00:19:02,225 --> 00:19:04,895
{\an8}Especially Joel, from everything
he's been through,
355
00:19:04,895 --> 00:19:10,442
{\an8}and he has such a good outlook on life
and what actually is life-and-death.
356
00:19:13,028 --> 00:19:17,782
In the spring of 2011, I was diagnosed
with testicular cancer myself.
357
00:19:20,243 --> 00:19:23,538
I'm like, "Oh my goodness, like, not me."
358
00:19:23,538 --> 00:19:26,958
Like, I'm 23 years old.
I'm a pro golfer now.
359
00:19:26,958 --> 00:19:29,127
You know, "You can't touch me."
360
00:19:30,670 --> 00:19:33,215
Luckily, caught it very early,
did a little bit of chemo,
361
00:19:33,215 --> 00:19:35,133
and I was back playing golf that summer.
362
00:19:36,801 --> 00:19:39,387
[Lona] He downplays it, you know?
He's always like,
363
00:19:39,387 --> 00:19:42,015
"It wasn't a deal, just testicular cancer.
It was short."
364
00:19:42,015 --> 00:19:44,893
I think he's more powerful
than he gives himself credit for.
365
00:19:46,228 --> 00:19:49,231
[Dahmen] My mother's passing
still is tough,
366
00:19:49,231 --> 00:19:53,568
but, um, I think myself having cancer
probably changed my life for the better.
367
00:19:53,568 --> 00:19:56,529
You know? Not take life for granted
and try your best.
368
00:19:56,529 --> 00:19:57,697
Do all the right things.
369
00:19:57,697 --> 00:20:01,243
So... maybe a blessing-in-disguise
type thing. I don't know.
370
00:20:02,869 --> 00:20:03,703
Brutal.
371
00:20:10,126 --> 00:20:13,380
[Lona] CrossFit gym and a stroller place.
372
00:20:15,215 --> 00:20:17,008
[chuckles] Super random location.
373
00:20:18,009 --> 00:20:23,181
[Lona] With Joel's history with cancer
and everything that he's been through,
374
00:20:23,181 --> 00:20:25,809
we didn't know if it would be possible
to start a family,
375
00:20:25,809 --> 00:20:30,855
but Joel and I are expecting
our first child, and we're very excited.
376
00:20:33,692 --> 00:20:37,570
Do you think that the baby's gonna want
to take naps when I wanna take naps?
377
00:20:37,570 --> 00:20:38,738
Definitely not.
378
00:20:38,738 --> 00:20:41,866
I think you are going to have to take naps
when the baby takes naps.
379
00:20:42,450 --> 00:20:46,705
[Dahmen] My history with cancer definitely
had an effect on being able to have a kid.
380
00:20:46,705 --> 00:20:48,290
It's certainly more challenging.
381
00:20:49,874 --> 00:20:53,545
I am super excited,
and I'm also scared to death.
382
00:20:53,545 --> 00:20:55,714
Okay, this is real adulting.
383
00:20:56,256 --> 00:20:58,508
[Lona] We're adulting. Here we go.
384
00:20:59,509 --> 00:21:02,012
- Hi, how are you?
- Welcome to Strolleria.
385
00:21:02,012 --> 00:21:04,431
- Thanks.
- What brings you guys in today?
386
00:21:04,431 --> 00:21:08,268
Would you consider yourself
an expert in the stroller world?
387
00:21:08,268 --> 00:21:12,272
I'd say there's a few others more expert
than I am, but I'm pretty high up there.
388
00:21:12,272 --> 00:21:15,692
[Lona] I think I have noticed a difference
in Joel's perspective.
389
00:21:15,692 --> 00:21:17,402
[Lona] You know how to fold this one down?
390
00:21:17,402 --> 00:21:20,947
You don't even have to push the buttons.
You can just pull the handlebar up,
391
00:21:20,947 --> 00:21:23,575
and that will just... Yep...
392
00:21:23,575 --> 00:21:25,035
[laughs]
393
00:21:25,035 --> 00:21:26,369
There you go. [laughs]
394
00:21:26,369 --> 00:21:27,287
We'll get there.
395
00:21:27,287 --> 00:21:29,456
[Lona] I think now that we know
we're having a child,
396
00:21:29,456 --> 00:21:33,501
Joel will definitely try to seize
every opportunity in his golf career,
397
00:21:33,501 --> 00:21:35,545
work his way up,
and be the best he can be.
398
00:21:35,545 --> 00:21:37,005
- Good job.
- I like the storage.
399
00:21:37,005 --> 00:21:39,174
- You just picked out two strollers.
- [laughs]
400
00:21:39,174 --> 00:21:41,176
[Lona] I do think
he'll become more focused.
401
00:21:41,676 --> 00:21:43,928
He almost has to have a lot of pressure,
402
00:21:43,928 --> 00:21:46,598
and then somehow,
he just kicks it into gear.
403
00:21:46,598 --> 00:21:49,851
- Lona, we got a new stroller.
- Whoo-hoo.
404
00:21:50,685 --> 00:21:51,770
- Thank you.
- Making moves.
405
00:21:51,770 --> 00:21:52,854
Appreciate that.
406
00:21:53,438 --> 00:21:55,440
[dramatic rock music playing]
407
00:22:09,954 --> 00:22:11,122
[man] DJ, you're the man.
408
00:22:11,831 --> 00:22:12,874
[indistinct chatter]
409
00:22:12,874 --> 00:22:14,292
[man 2] Whoo!
410
00:22:14,876 --> 00:22:15,877
{\an8}Oh no.
411
00:22:16,544 --> 00:22:19,672
{\an8}[announcer] The 122nd edition
of the U.S. Open.
412
00:22:19,672 --> 00:22:22,884
Historic place,
the country club in Brookline.
413
00:22:22,884 --> 00:22:25,136
{\an8}- It's gonna be a lot of fun.
- Oh yeah, big fun.
414
00:22:26,888 --> 00:22:28,264
[Johnson] U.S. Open is always--
415
00:22:28,264 --> 00:22:31,184
You know, the reputation
is that it's the hardest major.
416
00:22:31,184 --> 00:22:35,480
{\an8}They set up the course very hard.
Deep rough. Firm, fast greens.
417
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,566
You're gonna have to grind.
You just gotta play well if you wanna
418
00:22:38,566 --> 00:22:40,902
have any kind of chance
to win the U.S. Open.
419
00:22:40,902 --> 00:22:45,031
If I was caddying for you, I'd tell you
to hit a little draw with a 5-iron.
420
00:22:45,532 --> 00:22:47,075
Right, just a little move at it.
421
00:22:47,075 --> 00:22:50,495
- [man] He's a really good caddie.
- [Dahmen] But that's why I don't caddie.
422
00:22:50,495 --> 00:22:53,373
[man 2] This is gonna be
the hardest week we play all year.
423
00:22:53,373 --> 00:22:55,291
Whoever mentally can grind through
424
00:22:55,291 --> 00:22:57,752
and find a way to get
the ball in the hole,
425
00:22:57,752 --> 00:22:59,587
{\an8}that'll be who ends up winning.
426
00:23:00,672 --> 00:23:02,257
[Dethier] It's a big-time tournament.
427
00:23:02,257 --> 00:23:06,761
Seventeen-and-a-half-million-dollar purse
and America's national championship.
428
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:10,640
{\an8}It's a grueling four days
that's really designed
429
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,018
to identify the survivor
by the end of the week.
430
00:23:14,018 --> 00:23:17,105
[reporter] We are joined
by world number seven, Collin Morikawa.
431
00:23:17,105 --> 00:23:20,859
{\an8}I assume you've had a chance to see
the course. Talk about first impressions.
432
00:23:20,859 --> 00:23:23,361
{\an8}Um, I love it. I think it's
a real good golf course.
433
00:23:23,361 --> 00:23:26,281
[Rahm] It's a U.S. Open. You need
everything. You need to drive it well,
434
00:23:26,281 --> 00:23:31,035
{\an8}hit your irons well, chip well, putt well,
and be mentally sane for four days.
435
00:23:31,828 --> 00:23:34,622
[McIlroy] I feel confident going
to these golf courses
436
00:23:34,622 --> 00:23:37,292
{\an8}that are set up more difficult
than everyday tour events.
437
00:23:37,876 --> 00:23:39,335
[reporter] All right. Joel Dahmen.
438
00:23:39,335 --> 00:23:43,673
So is it true you almost skipped
your qualifier coming into this?
439
00:23:43,673 --> 00:23:45,842
There was a lot of discussion
leading up to it.
440
00:23:45,842 --> 00:23:47,719
I told my wife I wasn't gonna do it.
441
00:23:47,719 --> 00:23:49,679
[reporter] How happy are you
that you did do it?
442
00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:53,141
Everything changes when you get
on property. It's huge, people everywhere.
443
00:23:53,141 --> 00:23:55,018
So that changes your mind pretty quickly.
444
00:23:57,812 --> 00:23:59,147
You want them back here?
445
00:24:00,982 --> 00:24:01,816
Okay.
446
00:24:02,901 --> 00:24:04,068
Mm, that looks nice.
447
00:24:06,488 --> 00:24:08,114
That can't be too bad.
448
00:24:08,615 --> 00:24:12,452
{\an8}I don't understand how you can hit
those shots and say you can't win a major.
449
00:24:12,952 --> 00:24:13,912
{\an8}[Dahmen laughs]
450
00:24:13,912 --> 00:24:16,789
No, seriously.
You're selling yourself short.
451
00:24:16,789 --> 00:24:19,209
- [Dahmen] Oh, sadly.
- [Rapaport] He's nodding.
452
00:24:19,209 --> 00:24:21,586
[Bonnalie] A hundred percent.
Joel only sells himself short.
453
00:24:22,253 --> 00:24:24,964
[Rapaport] Guys handle themselves
really differently on the PGA TOUR.
454
00:24:24,964 --> 00:24:27,175
On one end, you have
Jordan Spieth, who's like,
455
00:24:27,175 --> 00:24:30,428
"I'm so confident. Gonna win everything."
And then on the other end,
456
00:24:30,428 --> 00:24:33,806
you have Joel, who's like, "I suck.
I'm not gonna be able to win this,"
457
00:24:33,806 --> 00:24:37,435
{\an8}But when he's tapped in, yeah, he's
a threat to win the biggest tournaments.
458
00:24:38,728 --> 00:24:41,814
Am I ready to win a major?
I don't know if I'm good enough.
459
00:24:42,398 --> 00:24:45,026
I would need a lot of stars to align
in one week.
460
00:24:45,527 --> 00:24:47,529
[somber music playing]
461
00:24:51,074 --> 00:24:54,994
[Bonnalie] When you want to be
at a golf tournament and actually show up,
462
00:24:54,994 --> 00:24:57,205
you are one of the best players
in the world.
463
00:24:57,205 --> 00:25:00,166
- You tell me that all the time.
- You are. [chuckles]
464
00:25:01,042 --> 00:25:05,380
What do you feel that we have to do
going forward to be better?
465
00:25:05,380 --> 00:25:08,132
I could be a little more dedicated
to my craft.
466
00:25:08,132 --> 00:25:09,968
Everything that you have been through,
467
00:25:09,968 --> 00:25:13,346
trying to golf should be
about the easiest thing you've ever done.
468
00:25:13,346 --> 00:25:17,016
I think that's a very fair ask of you,
is to show up,
469
00:25:17,016 --> 00:25:20,812
be ready to compete and want to compete,
and not just go through the motions.
470
00:25:20,812 --> 00:25:25,108
How good could you be if you said,
471
00:25:25,108 --> 00:25:28,570
"Fuck it, I am going to try
as hard as I can"?
472
00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:30,488
Um...
473
00:25:30,488 --> 00:25:33,950
I don't know. How good could I be? Top 50?
474
00:25:33,950 --> 00:25:38,496
Do I think I'm a top-ten favorites
going into the U.S. Open? No.
475
00:25:38,496 --> 00:25:40,123
[Bonnalie] Well, that's debatable.
476
00:25:41,291 --> 00:25:43,293
[upbeat music playing]
477
00:25:46,254 --> 00:25:49,424
[announcer] This is gonna be a great week
in the latest chase for the U.S. Open.
478
00:25:49,424 --> 00:25:52,135
[announcer 2] Nine thousand players
entered to try to get in.
479
00:25:52,135 --> 00:25:55,930
We're down to the last 156
that are trying to make history here.
480
00:25:55,930 --> 00:25:58,016
[light applause]
481
00:25:58,558 --> 00:26:00,476
- Have a great day.
- You too, pal.
482
00:26:01,519 --> 00:26:05,648
[announcer 3] Please welcome,
from Clarkston, Washington, Joel Dahmen.
483
00:26:09,277 --> 00:26:11,237
[Bonnalie] Good job, Joel. Really nice.
484
00:26:11,821 --> 00:26:13,906
[announcer] Right up that left side.
Great shape.
485
00:26:13,906 --> 00:26:16,576
{\an8}Are you up further? Oh yeah, right there.
486
00:26:17,076 --> 00:26:18,202
[laughs]
487
00:26:19,912 --> 00:26:21,080
[Dahmen] Oh, fuck.
488
00:26:22,665 --> 00:26:23,625
Goddamn it.
489
00:26:23,625 --> 00:26:26,419
[announcer] That secondary cut of rough
could be five inches.
490
00:26:26,419 --> 00:26:27,920
[Bonnalie] All right. Shake it off.
491
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,340
[announcer] So you accept your bogey,
you move on,
492
00:26:30,340 --> 00:26:32,216
but Dahmen is going to drop back.
493
00:26:32,216 --> 00:26:34,719
That's brutal. What a stupid hole.
494
00:26:34,719 --> 00:26:37,639
[announcer 2] Take a look at some featured
groupings in the opening round.
495
00:26:37,639 --> 00:26:41,059
The Open champ, Morikawa,
off the front for birdie.
496
00:26:43,061 --> 00:26:44,228
Ooh. Oh!
497
00:26:44,228 --> 00:26:46,439
- He did that!
- [announcer 4] Oh, wow!
498
00:26:46,439 --> 00:26:48,107
There's a nice bonus.
499
00:26:48,775 --> 00:26:51,736
[announcer 5] Rory McIlroy, trying to get
to two-under here. Birdie putt.
500
00:26:52,236 --> 00:26:53,071
Oh yeah.
501
00:26:55,239 --> 00:26:56,658
Perfectly good for the second.
502
00:26:57,867 --> 00:27:00,828
{\an8}[announcer] Joel Dahmen.
Looking up the hill here at the seventh.
503
00:27:04,123 --> 00:27:05,291
He's got some work to do.
504
00:27:05,291 --> 00:27:07,877
[Renner] Basically,
it's a 35, 40-foot putt.
505
00:27:07,877 --> 00:27:09,796
God, they roll so far back.
506
00:27:09,796 --> 00:27:13,257
[Bonnalie] I think the angle
you're coming up, it'll keep going until
507
00:27:13,257 --> 00:27:14,801
{\an8}just short of the hole.
508
00:27:15,301 --> 00:27:18,971
{\an8}So like you said, I don't think there's
time for it to change.
509
00:27:18,971 --> 00:27:21,849
From that side, I was probably...
510
00:27:21,849 --> 00:27:25,812
Yeah, that line looks
really good to me from here.
511
00:27:26,479 --> 00:27:27,563
[man] Let's go, Joel!
512
00:27:30,149 --> 00:27:32,568
[announcer 2] Seems a little fast
coming down the hill.
513
00:27:33,653 --> 00:27:35,154
Stay up! Yes, it does.
514
00:27:35,154 --> 00:27:36,781
[cheering and applause]
515
00:27:36,781 --> 00:27:38,116
[Bonnalie] Good job, buddy.
516
00:27:39,492 --> 00:27:40,493
{\an8}[Bonnalie] Hey.
517
00:27:40,493 --> 00:27:41,619
{\an8}Nice fucking putt.
518
00:27:42,203 --> 00:27:45,289
{\an8}[Homa] Geno knows exactly what to say
to Joel and when.
519
00:27:45,289 --> 00:27:48,000
{\an8}When they're playing well,
you can tell they're having fun.
520
00:27:49,794 --> 00:27:52,296
[announcer 2]
Over at 13 now, Collin Morikawa.
521
00:27:52,296 --> 00:27:55,216
Just 30% of the field hitting this green.
522
00:27:55,717 --> 00:27:58,261
[announcer] Yikes!
Rory's second shot at the par four.
523
00:28:00,304 --> 00:28:01,681
[crowd] Oh!
524
00:28:04,934 --> 00:28:06,185
{\an8}[announcer 5] Aw, that's brutal.
525
00:28:07,228 --> 00:28:10,273
{\an8}[announcer]
Ball is in the air for Joel Dahmen.
526
00:28:12,650 --> 00:28:16,487
- Great shape. Great look at the stick.
- [announcer 2] That's a fine shot.
527
00:28:16,487 --> 00:28:18,573
[tense percussive music playing]
528
00:28:20,450 --> 00:28:23,369
[Dahmen] When I'm playing well
in these moments, I'm more fired up.
529
00:28:23,369 --> 00:28:24,704
I'm ready to go more.
530
00:28:25,455 --> 00:28:26,456
{\an8}[announcer] For birdie.
531
00:28:27,081 --> 00:28:30,084
{\an8}[Dahmen] I do better in the moment
than screwing around at 40th,
532
00:28:30,084 --> 00:28:31,753
{\an8}trying to just make a paycheck.
533
00:28:31,753 --> 00:28:33,880
A little more focused
on every little thing.
534
00:28:36,048 --> 00:28:39,719
[announcer 2] As we look
at the leaderboard here, a mix of players.
535
00:28:39,719 --> 00:28:41,345
Some of the best in the world,
536
00:28:41,345 --> 00:28:45,475
and some who just are finding
their way around with smart, steady golf.
537
00:28:45,475 --> 00:28:47,602
- [Dahmen] How are you? Thank you.
- You did good.
538
00:28:48,728 --> 00:28:52,607
[Dahmen] Can Joel Dahmen win a major?
Blah, blah, blah. Here we go.
539
00:28:52,607 --> 00:28:55,610
You said you can't do this.
Look at you now.
540
00:28:55,610 --> 00:28:58,362
- [reporter] It's only one round.
- Anything else? Thank you.
541
00:29:04,494 --> 00:29:06,746
What else can I do to help your life?
542
00:29:07,246 --> 00:29:09,457
[Dahmen]
Do you want an umbrella in your car?
543
00:29:09,457 --> 00:29:11,250
[Bonnalie]
Is it a shitty one or a good one?
544
00:29:11,250 --> 00:29:13,127
Probably a shitty one.
545
00:29:13,628 --> 00:29:14,921
- Adios.
- [Dahmen] I love you, pal.
546
00:29:14,921 --> 00:29:17,006
- Love you.
- Sorry I suck sometimes.
547
00:29:17,006 --> 00:29:18,925
[indistinct chatter]
548
00:29:21,677 --> 00:29:23,679
[tense music playing]
549
00:29:31,729 --> 00:29:33,815
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome.
550
00:29:33,815 --> 00:29:37,193
Excited to be here and talk about
major championship golf again.
551
00:29:37,193 --> 00:29:40,905
It feels like a perfect U.S. Open
leaderboard to me.
552
00:29:40,905 --> 00:29:45,076
You've got a couple of big names up there.
Then you just got a hodgepodge of randos.
553
00:29:45,076 --> 00:29:48,287
It's cool to see all kinds of game
out there doing well.
554
00:29:48,287 --> 00:29:51,749
And Joel Dahmen. He was
in the practice round earlier this week.
555
00:29:51,749 --> 00:29:55,127
Somebody asked him, "Feel any better
about the golf course?" He was like,
556
00:29:55,127 --> 00:29:58,923
"No, not really. No." He's always
incredibly honest what his chances are.
557
00:29:58,923 --> 00:30:01,801
And then sure enough,
he turns up and shoots 3-under.
558
00:30:03,261 --> 00:30:04,595
[Dahmen] Thank you very much.
559
00:30:04,595 --> 00:30:07,306
We'll catch you tonight
with multiple beers.
560
00:30:07,306 --> 00:30:09,350
[driver] Sounds like a plan, Joel.
Thank you.
561
00:30:11,394 --> 00:30:14,689
[Dahmen] I probably need
a little bit more of a... killer instinct.
562
00:30:16,566 --> 00:30:18,442
Like, a lot of times I just go play golf,
563
00:30:18,442 --> 00:30:20,778
and "if it works out, it works out"
type of deal.
564
00:30:20,778 --> 00:30:22,864
[indistinct chatter on TV]
565
00:30:24,282 --> 00:30:27,034
[Dahmen] I need to get more into,
you know,
566
00:30:27,034 --> 00:30:30,037
"I'm here to kick people's butt,
and I'm here to win" type thing.
567
00:30:30,538 --> 00:30:32,999
{\an8}Hey, do you wanna get a pizza
tomorrow night?
568
00:30:32,999 --> 00:30:36,210
{\an8}[Dahmen] The best players in the world
have a different level of mental stuff.
569
00:30:36,919 --> 00:30:39,380
{\an8}I don't know if I'll get there.
Not saying I'm too friendly.
570
00:30:39,380 --> 00:30:42,133
I'm obviously competitive,
but I want to do well.
571
00:30:43,801 --> 00:30:47,889
[announcer] Welcome to round two
of the 122nd U.S. Open Championship.
572
00:30:47,889 --> 00:30:50,308
[applause]
573
00:30:52,143 --> 00:30:54,395
[Bonnalie] It still feels like
the biggest day we've had.
574
00:30:54,896 --> 00:30:56,147
[man] Let's go, Joel!
575
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,359
[Bonnalie] Nice ball.
576
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:02,695
[announcer 2] Well, Joel Dahmen's
just hitting it great.
577
00:31:03,529 --> 00:31:04,947
[Dahmen] Just an 8-iron get there?
578
00:31:04,947 --> 00:31:07,116
- [Bonnalie] Better than 7.
- [Dahmen] For sure.
579
00:31:09,911 --> 00:31:11,078
[man 2] Go in. Oh my--
580
00:31:11,996 --> 00:31:13,956
[announcer 3] And a beauty here.
Look at this.
581
00:31:13,956 --> 00:31:16,834
[announcer 2]
Wow, fantastic shot here at the first.
582
00:31:16,834 --> 00:31:18,794
[Bonnalie] That was a lot of push.
Good shot.
583
00:31:18,794 --> 00:31:20,922
[announcer 2] Dahmen looks like
he'll have a short one
584
00:31:20,922 --> 00:31:22,757
to join the lead at four under par.
585
00:31:22,757 --> 00:31:26,552
And then there's the two-time
major champion, Collin Morikawa.
586
00:31:26,552 --> 00:31:29,513
[announcer 4] Second shot up the hill
here at the par five.
587
00:31:30,765 --> 00:31:34,268
Oh, and he lands it right in front
of the green and it releases forward.
588
00:31:34,268 --> 00:31:35,811
[announcer 2] Shot of the day.
589
00:31:35,811 --> 00:31:39,023
No question.
Best second shot we've seen here.
590
00:31:42,276 --> 00:31:44,487
{\an8}Two men sitting atop
the leaderboard under par.
591
00:31:44,487 --> 00:31:48,115
Collin Morikawa, everybody knows him.
He's a multiple major champion.
592
00:31:48,115 --> 00:31:49,825
[man 3] Way to go, Collin!
593
00:31:49,825 --> 00:31:54,246
[announcer 2] Joel Dahmen, 34 years old.
He had to qualify to get in here.
594
00:31:54,246 --> 00:31:58,250
And Gary, he's missed the cut
in his two previous U.S. Open appearances.
595
00:31:58,250 --> 00:32:00,336
[announcer 4] Well, you know,
you just never know.
596
00:32:01,253 --> 00:32:04,173
- Go, Joel!
- [man 4] Go, Joel. He's my hero, brother.
597
00:32:08,219 --> 00:32:09,053
[announcer 2] Uh-oh.
598
00:32:10,513 --> 00:32:12,181
Back-to-back poles.
599
00:32:13,474 --> 00:32:14,892
[man 5] Let's go, kid!
600
00:32:14,892 --> 00:32:16,477
[Bonnalie] What do we got? Downhill?
601
00:32:16,477 --> 00:32:18,562
[announcer 2]
Joel Dahmen eying this for birdie.
602
00:32:19,355 --> 00:32:20,189
[Bonnalie] Whoo.
603
00:32:20,189 --> 00:32:23,442
It goes this way, and then
right at the hole, it kind of levels out.
604
00:32:23,442 --> 00:32:24,610
But I'm, like, here.
605
00:32:26,654 --> 00:32:30,074
[announcer 2]
This, uh, from a little under 60 feet.
606
00:32:33,744 --> 00:32:35,663
- [announcer 2] Gave it a rap.
- [announcer 4] Yeah.
607
00:32:35,663 --> 00:32:37,415
So many guys have come up short.
608
00:32:43,629 --> 00:32:44,880
[cheering]
609
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,215
[announcer 5 chuckles] And...
610
00:32:47,008 --> 00:32:48,884
Yeah, one time.
611
00:32:53,431 --> 00:32:55,891
[announcer 3] Took a while,
but we got the smile, David.
612
00:32:55,891 --> 00:32:56,809
[announcer 5] Yeah.
613
00:32:58,269 --> 00:32:59,687
No, it was really good.
614
00:33:00,187 --> 00:33:01,230
[man 6] Such a beast!
615
00:33:02,023 --> 00:33:05,234
[announcer 2] That's what Morikawa
is looking to end his Friday with.
616
00:33:05,234 --> 00:33:09,030
{\an8}Collin Morikawa, a multiple major winner,
his day is complete.
617
00:33:09,030 --> 00:33:11,824
{\an8}Will he be the co-leader?
Will he be the solo leader?
618
00:33:11,824 --> 00:33:14,493
{\an8}Or will Joel Dahmen birdie the 18th?
619
00:33:17,121 --> 00:33:17,955
{\an8}Go right!
620
00:33:18,456 --> 00:33:20,666
[announcer 2] Starting right.
Wind is pushing it that way.
621
00:33:20,666 --> 00:33:24,378
May miss the heavy stuff and get over
where it's trampled down a bit.
622
00:33:25,755 --> 00:33:27,715
Yeah, that's exactly where it ended up.
623
00:33:28,632 --> 00:33:31,510
So I think we're in the rough over there.
If that's the case...
624
00:33:33,846 --> 00:33:37,933
- [Dahmen] The brown shit might be okay.
- [Bonnalie] Yeah? I see a flag down.
625
00:33:39,310 --> 00:33:40,519
[man 7] Way to go, Joel!
626
00:33:41,937 --> 00:33:44,106
[Dahmen] Right now, I feel like
this might be a gust.
627
00:33:45,941 --> 00:33:49,487
[announcer 2] He does have 198 yards,
back into a pretty stiff breeze.
628
00:33:50,529 --> 00:33:53,491
- Gonna be a hard shot into the sun.
- I don't think he can see it.
629
00:33:53,491 --> 00:33:54,825
With wind coming at you.
630
00:34:02,124 --> 00:34:03,626
[announcer 2] On a great line.
631
00:34:06,378 --> 00:34:10,091
-[announcer 4] Oh, that's a great shot.
- [announcer 2] Things are going your way.
632
00:34:10,091 --> 00:34:13,135
It looked great on TV.
But in person, my goodness gracious.
633
00:34:13,135 --> 00:34:15,513
- How far is that? Eight feet?
- Less than.
634
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:18,933
- That was nice.
- I like it better than the fairway.
635
00:34:18,933 --> 00:34:20,059
A hundred percent.
636
00:34:24,230 --> 00:34:25,689
[cheering]
637
00:34:25,689 --> 00:34:26,857
[Bonnalie] Good work.
638
00:34:27,858 --> 00:34:30,069
[announcer 2] Got qualifier
with Joel Dahmen,
639
00:34:30,069 --> 00:34:32,863
who's tied for the lead
with Collin Morikawa.
640
00:34:32,863 --> 00:34:34,281
- [man] Good job.
- Thank you.
641
00:34:40,871 --> 00:34:43,791
You did great. That was just kind of
a solid round of golf,
642
00:34:43,791 --> 00:34:46,293
but we're in first place in a major, so...
643
00:34:47,378 --> 00:34:48,671
All right, buddy. Good job.
644
00:34:49,171 --> 00:34:50,506
All right.
645
00:34:50,506 --> 00:34:53,300
[reporter] Joel, you always say you want
to keep your expectations low,
646
00:34:53,300 --> 00:34:56,470
but this is your first 36-hole lead
at the PGA TOUR.
647
00:34:56,470 --> 00:34:58,514
How do you keep those expectations so low?
648
00:34:58,514 --> 00:35:01,142
I don't know.
Uh, they've probably gone up a hair
649
00:35:01,142 --> 00:35:05,354
since I woke up this morning for sure,
but this is kind of make-believe stuff.
650
00:35:05,354 --> 00:35:08,440
Wanna play a fun game?
Over-under on the number of text messages
651
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,192
I have that are new.
652
00:35:10,860 --> 00:35:13,320
I'm gonna say eleven seventy-five.
653
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,073
You win. Twelve-oh-seven.
654
00:35:16,574 --> 00:35:19,034
That's a lot.
Sorry if I don't respond, friends.
655
00:35:23,706 --> 00:35:25,875
[reporter] U.S. Open, arguably
the toughest test in golf.
656
00:35:25,875 --> 00:35:27,960
What'd you learn about yourself
and your game?
657
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,589
[Dahmen] It wasn't long ago
I wasn't gonna qualify, and now I'm here.
658
00:35:31,589 --> 00:35:35,634
I kind of said many times I'm pretty good
at golf. I always believe that,
659
00:35:35,634 --> 00:35:37,261
but probably I need to believe more.
660
00:35:37,261 --> 00:35:40,764
So maybe I'll start speaking
it out loud more often.
661
00:35:41,265 --> 00:35:43,267
[indistinct chatter]
662
00:35:43,267 --> 00:35:44,852
[McIlroy] Rahmbo, how we doing?
663
00:35:45,728 --> 00:35:46,562
Sitting here.
664
00:35:47,730 --> 00:35:50,399
I got a picture of Poppy today at daycare.
665
00:35:51,859 --> 00:35:53,444
Absolutely gone.
666
00:35:55,196 --> 00:35:56,155
[Morikawa chuckles]
667
00:35:56,155 --> 00:35:57,072
Passed out.
668
00:35:57,698 --> 00:35:58,866
{\an8}[Morikawa] Must be nice.
669
00:36:02,912 --> 00:36:07,041
{\an8}You'll be there though. It's so cool.
It definitely gives you something to do.
670
00:36:07,541 --> 00:36:08,375
{\an8}[Morikawa] What?
671
00:36:08,375 --> 00:36:09,293
{\an8}- Kid.
- [Morikawa] Oh.
672
00:36:10,169 --> 00:36:11,337
[Rahm] Do you play next week?
673
00:36:11,837 --> 00:36:17,468
No. I wasn't gonna fly private,
and then we flew with someone. So...
674
00:36:18,093 --> 00:36:19,595
Rory doesn't fly private either.
675
00:36:21,847 --> 00:36:26,518
[Dahmen] From us not knowing if we're
going to place at the U.S. Open qualifier
676
00:36:26,518 --> 00:36:30,522
to leading the U.S. Open after 36 holes,
677
00:36:31,023 --> 00:36:35,945
there's a lot of respect you earn amongst
your peers by having weeks like that.
678
00:36:36,862 --> 00:36:37,988
- What up?
- [Dahmen] Hey.
679
00:36:37,988 --> 00:36:41,158
So you finish on the back.
Finishing on the front's a nightmare.
680
00:36:41,158 --> 00:36:43,202
[McIlroy] Yeah, 'cause you get five days.
681
00:36:43,202 --> 00:36:46,455
And then the par three. And then eight.
And it's like, no.
682
00:36:46,455 --> 00:36:47,373
[Rahm] Brutal.
683
00:36:47,373 --> 00:36:50,501
- Have a good one, guys. See you out there.
- [McIlroy] Yeah, see you.
684
00:36:50,501 --> 00:36:53,754
[Bonnalie] This is his sixth year on tour,
and Joel's starting to earn the respect
685
00:36:53,754 --> 00:36:56,632
of some of the top players
and kind of have a seat at the table.
686
00:36:56,632 --> 00:36:58,300
He's playing good. Looked good.
687
00:36:58,300 --> 00:37:00,594
- [McIlroy] Really good.
- [Rahm] A lot of fun to watch him.
688
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,974
[Dahmen] I told my dad
that we're pregnant this morning.
689
00:37:04,974 --> 00:37:05,891
[Bonnalie] You did?
690
00:37:06,475 --> 00:37:08,560
- Rather--
- Aw, Happy Father's Day.
691
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,147
- Rather subtle reaction from him.
- What did he say?
692
00:37:12,147 --> 00:37:14,149
"Your life is about
to get so much harder."
693
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,651
[chuckles] Is that what he said?
694
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,113
- Not congratulations?
- There was a little bit of that.
695
00:37:20,572 --> 00:37:22,658
[announcer] All the focus
in this great sports town
696
00:37:22,658 --> 00:37:24,201
on this final-round Sunday.
697
00:37:24,201 --> 00:37:26,787
[Dahmen] Rory, did you hit a 6-iron
into 14 on Friday?
698
00:37:26,787 --> 00:37:29,498
[McIlroy] I should have hit 6-iron.
I hit 5-iron to the back of it.
699
00:37:29,498 --> 00:37:31,792
[Bonnalie] You swing harder.
He's smaller than you. C'mon.
700
00:37:33,168 --> 00:37:34,128
I work out too!
701
00:37:34,128 --> 00:37:35,504
[laughing]
702
00:37:37,715 --> 00:37:39,466
[man] Let's go, Joel!
703
00:37:39,466 --> 00:37:42,052
[announcer] After Friday, we were talking
about Joel Dahmen
704
00:37:42,052 --> 00:37:43,762
possibly winning the U.S. Open,
705
00:37:43,762 --> 00:37:46,724
but Saturday was a rough one
for most of the field.
706
00:37:46,724 --> 00:37:48,600
Matt Fitzpatrick and Will Zalatoris,
707
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,894
both tied at four-under,
will be in the final group.
708
00:37:52,438 --> 00:37:55,065
{\an8}Joel Dahmen starts
his Sunday three behind.
709
00:37:59,737 --> 00:38:02,364
[Bonnalie] It's on the green,
so it's not terrible.
710
00:38:04,616 --> 00:38:06,410
[announcer] He puts it
in the right-hand rough,
711
00:38:06,410 --> 00:38:08,203
and it's not easy over here.
712
00:38:08,203 --> 00:38:09,830
[Dahmen laughs]
713
00:38:09,830 --> 00:38:11,290
[Bonnalie] Good shot, you boner.
714
00:38:11,290 --> 00:38:13,500
[Dahmen laughs] ...boner.
715
00:38:15,169 --> 00:38:18,380
[Bonnalie] True or false. I'll be the
only caddie to call their player "boner"
716
00:38:19,048 --> 00:38:20,424
during the round today.
717
00:38:20,424 --> 00:38:22,009
[Dahmen] That's probably true.
718
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,845
[Bonnalie] I won't be
the only caddie to think it.
719
00:38:25,346 --> 00:38:26,388
[man 2] My kids love you!
720
00:38:26,889 --> 00:38:29,808
[Dahmen] I made bogey, and I realized
I wasn't going to win the U.S. Open,
721
00:38:29,808 --> 00:38:31,685
but I still had so much to play for
722
00:38:31,685 --> 00:38:35,064
and so much on the line for myself
that I was still very into it.
723
00:38:35,064 --> 00:38:37,483
I didn't have the major letdown
like in the past.
724
00:38:37,483 --> 00:38:38,817
- [man 3] Joel!
- [man 4] Let's go.
725
00:38:39,610 --> 00:38:41,362
{\an8}[announcer] Joel Dahmen's second shot
at 18.
726
00:38:43,238 --> 00:38:44,365
[Bonnalie] Good-looking shot.
727
00:38:45,783 --> 00:38:46,909
[cheering]
728
00:38:46,909 --> 00:38:48,660
[announcer 2] That was a fantastic shot.
729
00:38:48,660 --> 00:38:49,828
[applause]
730
00:38:50,704 --> 00:38:51,538
Good shot.
731
00:38:51,538 --> 00:38:53,624
[upbeat music playing]
732
00:38:55,250 --> 00:38:57,336
[Dahmen] Have I undersold myself at times?
733
00:38:57,336 --> 00:39:00,923
Probably, but I played
pretty darn good golf.
734
00:39:00,923 --> 00:39:03,717
Top ten in a major at a U.S. Open.
Like, that's pretty good.
735
00:39:05,177 --> 00:39:07,221
[announcer]
In uncharted territory for Joel Dahmen,
736
00:39:07,221 --> 00:39:10,391
his best finish in a major,
a tie for tenth.
737
00:39:11,350 --> 00:39:14,686
Good job. Hey, great fucking tournament.
738
00:39:14,686 --> 00:39:15,771
Good work.
739
00:39:15,771 --> 00:39:18,023
[applause]
740
00:39:19,066 --> 00:39:20,984
[Dahmen] My best golf is very good golf.
741
00:39:20,984 --> 00:39:23,112
I can compete
against the best in the world.
742
00:39:23,612 --> 00:39:24,905
{\an8}[cheering]
743
00:39:24,905 --> 00:39:27,783
{\an8}[Dethier] The U.S. Open is
a breakthrough moment for Joel Dahmen.
744
00:39:27,783 --> 00:39:29,326
{\an8}He's hung right there
745
00:39:29,326 --> 00:39:33,080
with Matthew Fitzpatrick, John Rahm,
and Rory McIlroy.
746
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,209
He's finished in the top ten,
and he has a chance to consider himself
747
00:39:37,209 --> 00:39:41,422
among those very top guys
because he's proven that he can compete.
748
00:39:41,422 --> 00:39:44,591
{\an8}So that in itself
felt like a big shift for Joel.
749
00:39:45,509 --> 00:39:47,761
[reporter] Tough weekend,
but you led going into it.
750
00:39:47,761 --> 00:39:50,556
How much confidence does that give you
for the rest of the season?
751
00:39:50,556 --> 00:39:52,766
[Dahmen] When you get close
to achieving dreams in golf,
752
00:39:52,766 --> 00:39:54,810
you're only a shot away
from them not happening.
753
00:39:54,810 --> 00:39:58,439
But I put in the work, surround myself
with great people, have a great caddie,
754
00:39:58,439 --> 00:40:01,483
great wife, obviously, so I'm playing
for more than just a trophy.
755
00:40:01,483 --> 00:40:04,194
I'm playing for all these things,
which keeps me motivated.
756
00:40:04,194 --> 00:40:06,280
Yeah, I'm ready to play now. This is fun.
757
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,865
- Good work.
- I love you.
758
00:40:07,865 --> 00:40:09,575
[muffled speech]
759
00:40:11,034 --> 00:40:12,619
We didn't lose any money this week.
760
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,830
- [Lona] I'm proud of you.
- Thanks.
761
00:40:19,209 --> 00:40:21,253
- [Bonnalie] "Nice shot, you boner."
- [Dahmen laughs]
762
00:40:22,337 --> 00:40:24,339
My caddie called me a boner today.
763
00:40:30,345 --> 00:40:34,308
{\an8}[announcer] Matt Fitzpatrick trying to win
not just a major for the first time,
764
00:40:34,308 --> 00:40:37,478
trying to win
any tournament on the PGA TOUR.
765
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,770
[cheering]
766
00:40:39,730 --> 00:40:42,316
My mindset for the U.S. Open
is that I can go and win,
767
00:40:43,150 --> 00:40:44,443
but the pressure is intense.
768
00:40:44,443 --> 00:40:45,986
[announcer 2] Oh man.
769
00:40:45,986 --> 00:40:48,280
[man] It's not where you wanna be, Fitzy!
In the beach!
770
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,158
[announcer] He's so meticulous in the way
he goes about playing golf,
771
00:40:51,158 --> 00:40:53,952
but he's up against a real beast today.
772
00:40:53,952 --> 00:40:55,287
[announcer 3] Dustin Johnson!
773
00:40:55,954 --> 00:40:58,582
[Johnson] They all had a wonderful career
on the PGA TOUR,
774
00:40:58,582 --> 00:41:04,838
and obviously, now, I've taken kind of
a different step in my life and career.
775
00:41:04,838 --> 00:41:07,925
[reporter] We have some breaking news
for you on this Tuesday evening.
776
00:41:07,925 --> 00:41:11,553
Within the hour, the Saudi-backed league
LIV Golf released its field,
777
00:41:11,553 --> 00:41:14,932
{\an8}and the highest-ranked player,
well, it is a bit of a stunner.
778
00:41:14,932 --> 00:41:19,478
It is former world number one and 24-time
PGA TOUR winner, Dustin Johnson.
779
00:41:22,272 --> 00:41:24,191
[upbeat music playing]
