1
00:00:07,008 --> 00:00:11,387
So, everybody, this is
the first course in LA County
2
00:00:11,387 --> 00:00:14,223
that granted African Americans
the right to play here.
3
00:00:14,223 --> 00:00:16,601
On that note,
I'm gonna turn over the microphone.
4
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,439
So first question, was there
a special person that motivated you?
5
00:00:27,028 --> 00:00:29,447
I think a big motivation
for me, I would say, is
6
00:00:29,447 --> 00:00:32,533
a guy we all know of by the name
of Tiger Woods. You guys heard of him?
7
00:00:32,533 --> 00:00:34,160
- Yeah.
- I watched Tiger.
8
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:36,871
I started playing golf
in the summer of '97.
9
00:00:37,538 --> 00:00:39,665
You guys know
what happened in April of '97?
10
00:00:39,665 --> 00:00:41,167
- Anybody remember that?
- Yup.
11
00:00:41,167 --> 00:00:42,627
♪ Out of my mind... ♪
12
00:00:42,627 --> 00:00:45,379
{\an8} There it is.
A win for the ages!
13
00:00:46,714 --> 00:00:49,258
{\an8} The '97 Masters
was so inspiring to me.
14
00:00:49,258 --> 00:00:54,347
I just remember watching everybody
in complete awe of this Tiger Woods guy.
15
00:00:54,347 --> 00:00:58,684
{\an8}And then I also recognized that
this guy is the same skin color as I am.
16
00:00:59,519 --> 00:01:01,437
America has a distinct race issue.
17
00:01:01,437 --> 00:01:04,273
That's always the barrier
in America, right?
18
00:01:04,273 --> 00:01:08,152
{\an8}The best part about golf, in a sense,
is, like, once you shoot 66,
19
00:01:08,152 --> 00:01:09,821
{\an8}they can't turn you away.
20
00:01:09,821 --> 00:01:13,783
You can't be held back for any
other reason except what you shoot.
21
00:01:13,783 --> 00:01:17,495
I think that what Tiger defined is that
people look past that or beyond that,
22
00:01:17,495 --> 00:01:19,580
just because he was so great.
23
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:22,500
1997 Masters, Tiger won.
I watched that tournament with my dad,
24
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:25,628
and I was like, "You know what?
I want to be like that guy."
25
00:01:25,628 --> 00:01:29,132
Tiger Woods always said, uh,
"Don't get bitter, get better."
26
00:01:29,132 --> 00:01:31,551
Amen. Two words
that fix everything in golf.
27
00:01:31,551 --> 00:01:33,427
- Play better.
- Yeah.
28
00:01:34,929 --> 00:01:37,223
The reason why I play golf
is because of Tiger.
29
00:01:37,223 --> 00:01:39,767
{\an8}He opened up a pathway
for so many more kids
30
00:01:39,767 --> 00:01:42,478
{\an8}that never would've thought,
you know, golf was for them.
31
00:01:43,938 --> 00:01:45,064
{\an8} Wow!
32
00:01:46,190 --> 00:01:49,110
{\an8} Wow.
You can't hit it better than that.
33
00:01:49,110 --> 00:01:53,906
{\an8}Collin Morikawa is the extension
of the success of Tiger Woods.
34
00:01:53,906 --> 00:01:55,867
The new star in the game of golf.
35
00:01:55,867 --> 00:01:59,453
Collin Morikawa is the PGA Champion.
36
00:01:59,453 --> 00:02:02,498
{\an8} He's 25 years old, one of the best
players in the world already.
37
00:02:02,498 --> 00:02:06,627
{\an8} It is
a faultless performance on his Open debut.
38
00:02:06,627 --> 00:02:09,797
Winning two majors
in your first two years on tour,
39
00:02:09,797 --> 00:02:12,008
{\an8}he seems to have this steely focus
40
00:02:12,008 --> 00:02:14,427
that does bring Tiger to memory.
41
00:02:14,427 --> 00:02:17,597
Tony and Collin, they're what
the future of golf looks like.
42
00:02:17,597 --> 00:02:20,057
I just think the style is very different.
43
00:02:20,808 --> 00:02:22,268
Aw, you look fresh, man.
44
00:02:22,268 --> 00:02:25,646
Tony Finau is
the ultimate family man,
45
00:02:25,646 --> 00:02:28,399
{\an8}someone everyone roots for
every single week.
46
00:02:28,399 --> 00:02:30,443
But he hasn't won a major championship,
47
00:02:30,443 --> 00:02:32,528
just two victories on the PGA TOUR.
48
00:02:32,528 --> 00:02:37,950
{\an8}Tony Finau does not have the wins
on his résumé to match his game.
49
00:02:37,950 --> 00:02:39,911
♪ I've been high and low... ♪
50
00:02:39,911 --> 00:02:42,371
The best golfers tend to be selfish.
51
00:02:42,371 --> 00:02:44,832
I mean, they eliminate distractions.
52
00:02:44,832 --> 00:02:48,169
And Tony has a ton of distractions.
53
00:02:48,169 --> 00:02:50,254
♪ ...And low ♪
54
00:03:11,108 --> 00:03:13,736
Just about there.
Just about there.
55
00:03:15,571 --> 00:03:19,408
Taste test, please.
Hopefully, they're as good as advertised.
56
00:03:22,662 --> 00:03:23,537
How is it?
57
00:03:24,038 --> 00:03:25,081
Mm.
58
00:03:26,791 --> 00:03:27,708
That's bomb.
59
00:03:28,626 --> 00:03:31,754
How's it, Nene? What, eight? Nine? Ten?
60
00:03:33,631 --> 00:03:34,465
Eight?
61
00:03:35,841 --> 00:03:36,676
Eight!
62
00:03:36,676 --> 00:03:39,220
She just said it's an eight.
Come on, girl.
63
00:03:39,220 --> 00:03:41,055
- That's still good.
- I say ten.
64
00:03:41,055 --> 00:03:42,682
- Nene, gonna eat some?
- Let's go.
65
00:03:42,682 --> 00:03:45,893
{\an8}I don't know about the regular one,
but I liked the Nutella one.
66
00:03:45,893 --> 00:03:47,520
{\an8}- Ten!
- Ten, Tone?
67
00:03:49,188 --> 00:03:51,357
I definitely believe
you can be a great golfer
68
00:03:51,357 --> 00:03:53,651
and be a great husband and father.
69
00:03:53,651 --> 00:03:58,281
Balancing it is extremely tough, but,
to me, it's like why can't I have both?
70
00:03:58,281 --> 00:04:00,825
- Say bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.
71
00:04:01,826 --> 00:04:05,079
{\an8}Tony is of Samoan and Tongan descent.
72
00:04:05,079 --> 00:04:07,123
{\an8}And then I'm full Samoan.
73
00:04:07,915 --> 00:04:10,876
The foundation of our culture is family.
74
00:04:11,377 --> 00:04:12,545
Come on, man.
75
00:04:12,545 --> 00:04:15,506
I'm traveling with my family
this season pretty much every week.
76
00:04:15,506 --> 00:04:16,882
You got served!
77
00:04:16,882 --> 00:04:21,262
It's nice, because, like, I have a husband
that comes home, like, after every day.
78
00:04:21,262 --> 00:04:22,221
Oh no!
79
00:04:26,058 --> 00:04:27,768
I was so close!
80
00:04:28,311 --> 00:04:31,147
- That was the closest he's ever been.
- You're bad.
81
00:04:31,147 --> 00:04:32,356
Nice try, dude.
82
00:04:32,356 --> 00:04:34,108
This year, I lost my dad,
83
00:04:34,108 --> 00:04:39,030
and that's kind of what
pushed our family, um, to travel together.
84
00:04:39,697 --> 00:04:43,534
My wife's dad, unfortunately,
passed away at the end of last year,
85
00:04:43,534 --> 00:04:45,536
so I wanted to be there for her.
86
00:04:45,536 --> 00:04:49,707
And the way we knew that was gonna happen
was that they needed to travel with me.
87
00:04:49,707 --> 00:04:52,376
And it's been...
a great experience for our family
88
00:04:52,376 --> 00:04:54,378
to just be together during this time.
89
00:04:56,047 --> 00:04:58,382
{\an8}I've had a nice career up to this point
90
00:04:58,382 --> 00:05:01,552
to take care of most of the needs
that we have as a family.
91
00:05:02,136 --> 00:05:04,388
Dad, do you have
your Junior World in here?
92
00:05:04,388 --> 00:05:06,140
- Ooh.
- Or does Papa have it?
93
00:05:06,140 --> 00:05:07,350
I think Papa has that one.
94
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:11,312
Now it's, to me, just focusing
on winning golf tournaments,
95
00:05:11,312 --> 00:05:12,980
more than that added pressure of
96
00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:15,441
financially being afloat
and providing for them.
97
00:05:15,441 --> 00:05:17,985
Early in my career that was more the case,
98
00:05:17,985 --> 00:05:21,197
living out of a car, different things
like that right out of the gate.
99
00:05:21,197 --> 00:05:23,657
When I first got married, it was tough.
100
00:05:23,657 --> 00:05:27,453
{\an8}There wasn't a lot of expectations on
a kid who grew up really dirt poor in Utah
101
00:05:27,453 --> 00:05:29,121
{\an8}to make it to the PGA TOUR.
102
00:05:29,121 --> 00:05:30,664
{\an8}It's truly an underdog story.
103
00:05:31,832 --> 00:05:33,834
Tony didn't come from a lot.
104
00:05:33,834 --> 00:05:36,420
His parents, they had seven kids.
105
00:05:37,505 --> 00:05:39,382
He came from a rough neighborhood.
106
00:05:39,382 --> 00:05:42,009
A lot of gangs and violence.
107
00:05:42,676 --> 00:05:44,303
His dad believed that,
108
00:05:44,303 --> 00:05:48,057
"If I keep my kids busy, then
they don't have time to get into trouble."
109
00:05:51,352 --> 00:05:52,770
Look a little bit different?
110
00:05:52,770 --> 00:05:54,855
- Or it look the same to you?
- Looks the same.
111
00:05:54,855 --> 00:05:57,233
- Look at all these dents.
- Yeah.
112
00:05:57,942 --> 00:06:01,862
My wife and I, we would always talk about
a way to keep them out of trouble.
113
00:06:01,862 --> 00:06:05,157
{\an8}What decided we're gonna teach these kids
how to play golf? I have no idea.
114
00:06:05,157 --> 00:06:09,787
{\an8}I literally thought this has got to be
the dumbest game ever.
115
00:06:09,787 --> 00:06:11,705
Tennis is so much easier.
116
00:06:14,625 --> 00:06:16,001
The garage was never open,
117
00:06:16,001 --> 00:06:17,962
because the net was tied
on top of the ceiling.
118
00:06:17,962 --> 00:06:20,089
We could never open the garage. Yeah.
119
00:06:20,089 --> 00:06:23,926
People was normal to hear, like a shotgun,
because the neighborhood was shooting too.
120
00:06:23,926 --> 00:06:26,804
- That's right.
121
00:06:26,804 --> 00:06:30,182
My brother randomly
told my dad he wanted to play golf.
122
00:06:30,182 --> 00:06:33,310
He didn't know anything about golf.
He had never played it before.
123
00:06:33,310 --> 00:06:35,312
So with the budget that we had,
124
00:06:35,312 --> 00:06:39,483
he knew he had to figure out a way
for us to learn how to play... at home.
125
00:06:40,276 --> 00:06:42,361
His invention was,
"I'm gonna put up a mattress
126
00:06:42,361 --> 00:06:45,364
in our garage. That's how
my boys are gonna learn how to hit."
127
00:06:45,364 --> 00:06:48,492
"And we'll go to the golf course
to chip and putt since it's free."
128
00:06:48,492 --> 00:06:52,163
We couldn't afford range balls,
so we'll go pound the mattresses.
129
00:06:52,163 --> 00:06:54,248
We'll go once a week to the range
and see what we had
130
00:06:54,248 --> 00:06:56,542
and see how straight the balls are.
131
00:06:58,210 --> 00:07:01,130
There was no plan B for me.
My golf game was the plan.
132
00:07:01,130 --> 00:07:03,424
I mean, how many hours
were spent in this garage?
133
00:07:03,424 --> 00:07:05,342
Like I wanted to be so good at golf.
134
00:07:05,342 --> 00:07:07,928
I remember some...
countless times just telling you,
135
00:07:07,928 --> 00:07:10,473
"Dad, can we just go
hit some balls in the garage?"
136
00:07:10,473 --> 00:07:11,682
- Yeah. Well...
- You know?
137
00:07:11,682 --> 00:07:15,728
It was a lot to learn, but it's
shocking we can come up with a system
138
00:07:15,728 --> 00:07:17,980
to learn how
to hit a golf ball and compete.
139
00:07:24,153 --> 00:07:27,823
How many people you think last
year came versus what this year will be?
140
00:07:28,407 --> 00:07:31,660
{\an8} They never released numbers.
I had heard of it was about 5,000 a day.
141
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:34,038
{\an8} What is it normally here?
142
00:07:34,038 --> 00:07:35,873
{\an8}- Forty.
- Oh, wow.
143
00:07:35,873 --> 00:07:37,500
{\an8}It's gonna feel very different.
144
00:07:38,083 --> 00:07:40,794
This'll be the first year you play
Masters with grandstands.
145
00:07:40,794 --> 00:07:41,754
Yeah.
146
00:07:43,464 --> 00:07:44,548
{\an8}It'll be nice.
147
00:07:45,132 --> 00:07:47,301
{\an8}Koa, are you excited
for your first Masters?
148
00:07:49,386 --> 00:07:52,806
After I win one major, the PGA,
and then after, I win The Open
149
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:55,434
the next day, like,
I just want to go do it again.
150
00:07:55,434 --> 00:07:59,396
We've been at a point now where, you know,
I hadn't won since the 2021 Open,
151
00:07:59,396 --> 00:08:04,151
and, uh, you know, for me, so far,
early in my career, it's been a long time.
152
00:08:04,652 --> 00:08:07,488
Majors are career defining.
You want to put on a green jacket,
153
00:08:07,488 --> 00:08:11,242
but at the end of the day,
you still want to win everything.
154
00:08:11,242 --> 00:08:14,703
And... what, Tiger won 80-some times.
155
00:08:15,287 --> 00:08:17,248
It doesn't get tiring winning 82 times.
156
00:08:17,248 --> 00:08:21,001
I mean... Can I say this?
I want this one more than the others?
157
00:08:21,001 --> 00:08:22,711
I mean, I want them all.
158
00:08:25,172 --> 00:08:26,549
- Thank you, guys.
- Thank you.
159
00:08:26,549 --> 00:08:29,176
Collin Morikawa is
kind of a golden child right now.
160
00:08:30,177 --> 00:08:31,178
Pollen.
161
00:08:31,971 --> 00:08:33,806
He's a star. A big-time superstar.
162
00:08:34,390 --> 00:08:36,934
- Welcome back to Augusta. How are you?
- How you doing?
163
00:08:37,518 --> 00:08:42,398
I think he's one of the most
impressive players on the PGA TOUR,
164
00:08:42,398 --> 00:08:43,857
period, point-blank, the end.
165
00:08:43,857 --> 00:08:47,236
{\an8}He possesses something different.
He just does.
166
00:08:48,404 --> 00:08:51,365
You know, at such a young age,
there's a lot to achieve.
167
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:54,660
You know, hopefully,
when I look back one day, I said,
168
00:08:54,660 --> 00:08:56,328
"You know, we did a good job."
169
00:09:00,958 --> 00:09:03,711
So we're going through
some sizing issues.
170
00:09:03,711 --> 00:09:05,879
There's error on everything, right?
171
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:10,759
And it's, like, just got a little small
in this little gap right here.
172
00:09:11,552 --> 00:09:13,012
That's really annoying.
173
00:09:13,554 --> 00:09:17,850
I'm being a...
real big stickler on this, but...
174
00:09:19,226 --> 00:09:21,270
It's nice to have a glove that fits right.
175
00:09:24,565 --> 00:09:26,233
I just have weird-sized hands.
176
00:09:34,241 --> 00:09:36,660
Oh yes, Magnolia Lane.
177
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:38,871
- Morning.
- Good morning. How's it going?
178
00:09:38,871 --> 00:09:41,373
Good to see you.
Thank you. Nice to be back.
179
00:09:41,373 --> 00:09:43,417
This is the spot to be back.
180
00:09:43,417 --> 00:09:45,919
Something going on this week,
but we're not sure...
181
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:49,757
I'm gonna go find out.
I think we might figure that out up here.
182
00:09:49,757 --> 00:09:51,842
We'll get you
all squared away up there.
183
00:09:51,842 --> 00:09:53,260
- Welcome back.
- Thank you.
184
00:09:54,637 --> 00:09:57,056
- I remember the first year I came in here.
- Yeah.
185
00:09:57,056 --> 00:09:59,391
And I was like, "Wow,
it's a lot of open parking,"
186
00:09:59,391 --> 00:10:02,561
So I parked over there,
and one of the guys in the green jackets
187
00:10:02,561 --> 00:10:08,359
comes over and he's like, "Sir, this is
the past champions' parking lot."
188
00:10:10,903 --> 00:10:13,739
And I said, "Oh, next...
I'll be back next year."
189
00:10:13,739 --> 00:10:16,075
- What'd he say?
- He was laughing.
190
00:10:16,784 --> 00:10:19,244
I told you the number
that you check in as?
191
00:10:19,244 --> 00:10:20,329
Yeah?
192
00:10:20,329 --> 00:10:24,500
Like, let's say you're
the thirty-eighth guy to check in.
193
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:28,379
They give you a badge that says 38,
you know. That's your number.
194
00:10:28,379 --> 00:10:32,716
A lot of guys that have won,
whatever number that they were that year...
195
00:10:32,716 --> 00:10:36,428
- They literally just wait. They wait...
- To get that number?
196
00:10:36,428 --> 00:10:38,931
...until guys... until they get that number.
197
00:10:38,931 --> 00:10:41,517
They won't check in
till they get that number.
198
00:10:41,517 --> 00:10:43,686
They'll be like,
"What number you on?" "24."
199
00:10:43,686 --> 00:10:45,938
Like, "All right,
I'll be back in an hour."
200
00:10:45,938 --> 00:10:48,023
They're like,
"You have to save 38 for me."
201
00:10:48,023 --> 00:10:49,650
Oh, I see.
202
00:10:49,650 --> 00:10:51,402
- Morning, sir.
- Good morning.
203
00:10:52,319 --> 00:10:53,987
What number did you get last year?
204
00:10:54,738 --> 00:10:57,241
- Do you remember?
- I don't remember. But...
205
00:10:58,575 --> 00:11:00,327
77 sounds like a good number.
206
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:03,455
Let's go, baby. Lucky 77.
207
00:11:03,455 --> 00:11:06,291
Go for it. Wishing you all the best.
208
00:11:06,291 --> 00:11:07,584
- Thank you.
- Okay.
209
00:11:07,584 --> 00:11:08,669
Hi. How are you, guys?
210
00:11:08,669 --> 00:11:10,212
- Good luck this week.
- Thank you.
211
00:11:15,718 --> 00:11:19,596
The opening round
of the 86th Masters Tournament has begun.
212
00:11:19,596 --> 00:11:24,309
And our featured groups getting set
to start their bid for a green jacket.
213
00:11:24,309 --> 00:11:26,729
Now driving, Tiger Woods.
214
00:11:27,813 --> 00:11:30,899
It's hard to fathom
the last 13 months for Tiger Woods.
215
00:11:30,899 --> 00:11:35,070
From the car accident, significant trauma,
questions if he would ever walk again.
216
00:11:35,654 --> 00:11:37,865
Golf fans blessed to get this opportunity.
217
00:11:37,865 --> 00:11:41,076
Yeah, that's one tough cookie
right there, man.
218
00:11:41,076 --> 00:11:44,747
I mean, it's, like,
shoulder surgery, knee, ankle.
219
00:11:44,747 --> 00:11:47,541
Guy's like, "Bring it, man."
220
00:11:49,543 --> 00:11:51,670
Go get 'em, son. Play well, bud.
221
00:11:52,254 --> 00:11:54,423
Fore please, Tony Finau.
222
00:11:55,007 --> 00:11:59,136
Tony Finau had a front-row seat to maybe
the most famous round in golf history.
223
00:12:00,429 --> 00:12:04,683
{\an8}He was playing with Tiger Woods
in the 2019 final round when Tiger won.
224
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:08,687
{\an8}The fact that Tiger won the Masters
was ridiculous.
225
00:12:08,687 --> 00:12:11,565
This was Tiger Woods
completing his comeback,
226
00:12:11,565 --> 00:12:14,777
winning his first major championship
in over a decade.
227
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,782
And he'd suffered broken legs,
ACLs, personal embarrassment.
228
00:12:19,782 --> 00:12:22,534
So for everyone in golf to be rooting
for the same thing,
229
00:12:22,534 --> 00:12:25,788
and then for that thing to happen,
was pretty ridiculous.
230
00:12:25,788 --> 00:12:30,375
And Tony Finau was right there to see it.
231
00:12:30,959 --> 00:12:32,920
This is something
I dreamed my whole life.
232
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,715
I remember getting off the 7th tee,
first opportunity I had to talk to Tiger.
233
00:12:37,299 --> 00:12:39,343
You know, it was a bit
of an awkward silence.
234
00:12:40,511 --> 00:12:44,056
Asked him how the kids were doing.
Looked over at me, like, "They're fine."
235
00:12:44,056 --> 00:12:46,225
And he just started
to walk a little faster.
236
00:12:46,225 --> 00:12:48,477
I got the message
that he didn't want to talk.
237
00:12:49,686 --> 00:12:51,647
- The return to glory!
238
00:12:58,028 --> 00:13:00,739
Tiger was in a state of mind
I don't know if Tony's ever been in,
239
00:13:00,739 --> 00:13:03,283
which is that singularly focused
on the task at hand.
240
00:13:04,868 --> 00:13:08,247
The greatest players in this game
seem to be consumed by golf,
241
00:13:08,247 --> 00:13:09,790
and Tony Finau's not like that.
242
00:13:09,790 --> 00:13:13,252
He's got a balance in his life
that not everyone does.
243
00:13:13,252 --> 00:13:14,169
Ah.
244
00:13:14,169 --> 00:13:16,421
- You see where he ended up?
- He's short of it.
245
00:13:17,172 --> 00:13:19,132
He cares deeply
about his family,
246
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:22,594
{\an8}and whether that's a hindrance
to his golf game, I don't know.
247
00:13:23,345 --> 00:13:24,471
Oh!
248
00:13:25,305 --> 00:13:26,515
Tough day out there.
249
00:13:26,515 --> 00:13:29,476
I was there, through nine holes,
and I made some mistakes.
250
00:13:29,476 --> 00:13:31,979
Next thing you know,
I was eight, nine, ten shots back.
251
00:13:32,855 --> 00:13:35,774
- Is Daddy winning?
- He's hanging in there.
252
00:13:35,774 --> 00:13:37,985
Mom, is that a yes or no?
253
00:13:38,652 --> 00:13:40,070
No, he's not winning.
254
00:13:41,238 --> 00:13:44,533
Traveling as a family,
it kind of weighs heavily on me.
255
00:13:44,533 --> 00:13:46,410
He feels like he's not performing
256
00:13:46,410 --> 00:13:49,371
to the best of his abilities
that he knows that he's capable of.
257
00:13:50,163 --> 00:13:53,667
{\an8} Tony Finau, he'll be
tested here to try to save his par.
258
00:13:56,962 --> 00:13:59,756
Looking for some positivity right now...
259
00:14:00,257 --> 00:14:02,759
Maybe we're a little too much for him,
260
00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:06,889
'cause I feel like it was
a drastic change to traveling with nobody,
261
00:14:06,889 --> 00:14:10,559
to, like, all of a sudden, there's,
like, eight of us traveling together.
262
00:14:11,184 --> 00:14:12,185
Hey, baby.
263
00:14:12,686 --> 00:14:14,855
- How was the walk?
- It was cold.
264
00:14:14,855 --> 00:14:15,814
- Cold?
- Yeah.
265
00:14:15,814 --> 00:14:18,942
I know many a player that will say
266
00:14:18,942 --> 00:14:21,987
{\an8}that they didn't like themselves
when they played their best golf.
267
00:14:21,987 --> 00:14:23,405
They were on edge.
268
00:14:23,405 --> 00:14:26,450
They're not completely present
with their family.
269
00:14:26,450 --> 00:14:30,787
And none of that seems to me
the person that Tony Finau is,
270
00:14:30,787 --> 00:14:32,623
certainly wants to be.
271
00:14:33,749 --> 00:14:36,335
Scheffler's name
on top of the leaderboard.
272
00:14:36,335 --> 00:14:39,171
The biggest day of his young golfing life.
273
00:14:40,714 --> 00:14:44,092
I can only imagine
how annoying it is for Tony Finau
274
00:14:44,092 --> 00:14:45,928
to be asked all the time,
275
00:14:47,137 --> 00:14:51,016
"What is separating you
from becoming a champion?"
276
00:14:51,016 --> 00:14:52,559
It's a narrative. It's a thing.
277
00:14:53,894 --> 00:14:57,314
He's so talented. It makes people wonder
who watch week in and week out,
278
00:14:57,314 --> 00:14:58,941
"Well, why isn't he just winning?"
279
00:14:58,941 --> 00:15:02,694
{\an8}"Are you distracted by your kids
when you come home from the golf course?"
280
00:15:02,694 --> 00:15:04,237
Oh!
281
00:15:04,237 --> 00:15:06,365
{\an8} Tony has to figure out,
282
00:15:06,365 --> 00:15:09,868
{\an8}"Do I function better
with my family and kids out here,
283
00:15:09,868 --> 00:15:12,704
{\an8}or do I function better being by myself?"
284
00:15:14,581 --> 00:15:16,625
I don't have
the family that Tony has.
285
00:15:16,625 --> 00:15:20,295
He's got five kids, and I'm just learning
how to travel with a dog.
286
00:15:20,963 --> 00:15:25,717
I'm, like, super organized, and I hate...
I hate when things are not in place.
287
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:30,180
And if I was coming around with ten people
and I didn't know what was going on...
288
00:15:30,764 --> 00:15:32,975
Man, that's... I'm getting, like,
289
00:15:32,975 --> 00:15:37,104
the anxi-shakes, like, trying
to figure things out, thinking about that.
290
00:15:38,939 --> 00:15:42,567
{\an8}Finishing up the Masters
a top five, I'd take it.
291
00:15:42,567 --> 00:15:46,989
I had one of the most memorable shots
I'll ever have on 18 with Rory.
292
00:15:46,989 --> 00:15:49,491
I hit a great tee shot.
And I'm like, "Okay."
293
00:15:50,075 --> 00:15:51,493
"This is gonna be easy."
294
00:15:51,493 --> 00:15:54,287
And, uh... plugged it right in the bunker.
295
00:15:55,914 --> 00:15:57,541
So I'm in the bunker. I'm walking up.
296
00:15:57,541 --> 00:16:00,711
I see where Rory's ball is.
I'm like, "Thank God that's not my ball."
297
00:16:00,711 --> 00:16:03,380
Thinking he's got
one of the most impossible shots ever.
298
00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:06,258
{\an8} This is impossible,
a bit of a hit and hope.
299
00:16:06,258 --> 00:16:09,011
{\an8} He hits his shot.
Trickling over the slope, I'm like,
300
00:16:09,011 --> 00:16:11,763
{\an8}"Wow, this is really...
This is looking really good."
301
00:16:11,763 --> 00:16:14,016
And sooner or later, it drops in the hole.
302
00:16:14,016 --> 00:16:16,601
Look at that.
That is just awesome.
303
00:16:16,601 --> 00:16:19,646
He goes crazy,
and his arms go in directions
304
00:16:19,646 --> 00:16:21,940
that I've never seen
someone's arms ever go.
305
00:16:21,940 --> 00:16:24,484
What a round. Sixty-four.
306
00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:28,488
It matches the lowest final round score
in Masters history.
307
00:16:29,573 --> 00:16:31,742
Now it's time
for me to hit my shot.
308
00:16:31,742 --> 00:16:33,618
Morikawa out of that same bunker.
309
00:16:33,618 --> 00:16:36,121
They've been matching each other
much of the day.
310
00:16:36,121 --> 00:16:39,499
Oh! Again! You can't make it up.
311
00:16:39,499 --> 00:16:42,294
At that point,
I am now blacking out.
312
00:16:43,003 --> 00:16:45,422
A dream sequence at the 18th.
313
00:16:46,214 --> 00:16:49,551
{\an8} Finishing top five, obviously,
we didn't get the job done to win.
314
00:16:49,551 --> 00:16:51,803
{\an8}But it was my best Masters finish,
315
00:16:51,803 --> 00:16:55,140
just more of, like, a confidence boost,
knowing that, you know,
316
00:16:55,140 --> 00:16:57,851
we had one good decent
major finish under your belt
317
00:16:57,851 --> 00:17:00,896
and let's go play
some great golf the rest of the season.
318
00:17:15,911 --> 00:17:18,914
- Oh!
319
00:17:18,914 --> 00:17:22,501
Don't worry. It's way better.
I just haven't shot for a long time.
320
00:17:25,921 --> 00:17:29,091
I've taught myself
to separate from the golf course,
321
00:17:29,091 --> 00:17:32,135
but it's tough, because we're
always thinking on how to perfect it.
322
00:17:33,261 --> 00:17:36,932
Golfers, you know, internally, are...
We're all selfish.
323
00:17:38,475 --> 00:17:42,270
We're the ones hitting the shot,
and we have to take control.
324
00:17:42,270 --> 00:17:45,565
You have to be a little more selfish
than what you actually want to.
325
00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:47,943
Really good.
326
00:17:47,943 --> 00:17:50,737
Obviously, I set my standards,
set the goals really high,
327
00:17:50,737 --> 00:17:53,406
and I think about what have I learned, is...
328
00:17:53,406 --> 00:17:56,118
The biggest thing
is just taking care of myself.
329
00:17:56,118 --> 00:17:57,661
Good. Full focus.
330
00:17:58,161 --> 00:18:00,997
People take being selfish as a bad thing.
It's a good thing.
331
00:18:02,749 --> 00:18:03,708
Yeah, good.
332
00:18:04,209 --> 00:18:06,336
Thinking about
what's best for me.
333
00:18:06,336 --> 00:18:07,838
Good. Other side.
334
00:18:08,338 --> 00:18:12,259
That's always hard to do,
because we care about people around us.
335
00:18:12,259 --> 00:18:15,554
You have to be selfish about
making sure you're managing your time,
336
00:18:15,554 --> 00:18:18,098
managing your health
and everything about it
337
00:18:18,098 --> 00:18:19,933
to come out and perform the best.
338
00:18:20,517 --> 00:18:24,104
Awesome. Thank you guys for coming.
Collin, I know it's busy for you.
339
00:18:24,104 --> 00:18:27,315
We're gonna go, uh,
as we do always, a year out or so.
340
00:18:27,315 --> 00:18:31,111
{\an8}That being said, we know you're not shy,
but you know the one rule, just be honest.
341
00:18:31,111 --> 00:18:33,488
{\an8}And we leave here better collectively.
342
00:18:33,488 --> 00:18:35,240
- Sounds good.
- Cool. Awesome.
343
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,951
So let's start off
with the new five-pocket pant.
344
00:18:37,951 --> 00:18:42,289
It is definitely a material
that we are very confident in, and...
345
00:18:42,914 --> 00:18:44,416
Yeah. It doesn't feel heavy.
346
00:18:44,416 --> 00:18:48,420
And it feels like it has a little
more stretch than what we have now.
347
00:18:48,420 --> 00:18:50,797
- So I'm happy about it.
- Fantastic.
348
00:18:50,797 --> 00:18:55,385
We'll start off,
on Thursday, with that print.
349
00:18:55,385 --> 00:18:58,430
Only have a swatch as of now,
but it is the correct material,
350
00:18:58,430 --> 00:19:00,974
so you can feel it's lightweight,
full of stretch.
351
00:19:02,309 --> 00:19:04,144
Fresh color palette to it for sure.
352
00:19:04,853 --> 00:19:08,315
Wanted to get your take
on pairing that with olive.
353
00:19:10,150 --> 00:19:12,319
I don't know. I don't know about that.
354
00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:15,113
All right.
What's the challenge with it?
355
00:19:15,113 --> 00:19:17,741
It's just...
I don't think it's my style.
356
00:19:18,408 --> 00:19:21,036
- Okay.
- I think it's your style.
357
00:19:21,620 --> 00:19:24,039
It's hard to work in green
with this color palette.
358
00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:25,290
For sure.
359
00:19:25,290 --> 00:19:27,959
So, like, with these green pants,
for me, like,
360
00:19:27,959 --> 00:19:31,046
if I really wanted to wear
the green pants, I'd be like,
361
00:19:31,046 --> 00:19:33,340
I want a white-- I'd wear a white shirt.
362
00:19:33,340 --> 00:19:36,176
But then, you know,
I would 100% wear that look.
363
00:19:36,176 --> 00:19:39,804
We'll come back and revisit
how we want to do the pant line.
364
00:19:41,348 --> 00:19:44,017
- Why don't we putt first, big dog.
- Uh-huh.
365
00:19:46,061 --> 00:19:49,147
Just hit... hit 20 putts.
366
00:19:49,147 --> 00:19:53,068
So go around five times, and just
see what your percentage is, all right?
367
00:19:53,902 --> 00:19:57,614
Even if you miss one, just keep going,
but count how many you made and missed.
368
00:19:59,366 --> 00:20:01,993
Jraice,
everything he wants to be like Dad.
369
00:20:01,993 --> 00:20:03,495
Like, he looks up to Tony.
370
00:20:03,495 --> 00:20:06,289
His favorite color's green,
just like Dad. He loves golf.
371
00:20:07,290 --> 00:20:09,251
It's a huge thing between them two.
372
00:20:10,085 --> 00:20:11,878
Golf is everything to Jraice right now,
373
00:20:11,878 --> 00:20:14,631
and the fact that he made it
into Junior Worlds, it's huge.
374
00:20:14,631 --> 00:20:16,132
Make three more and you tie.
375
00:20:16,132 --> 00:20:18,927
- Yeah, 15 for 16.
- Don't choke.
376
00:20:21,346 --> 00:20:24,266
{\an8} I'm going to The Open Championship
by myself.
377
00:20:24,266 --> 00:20:25,392
{\an8}Two more.
378
00:20:25,392 --> 00:20:27,978
{\an8} Jraice, he has
a big national tournament.
379
00:20:27,978 --> 00:20:31,606
If I wasn't playing The Open Championship,
I would've been a part of his event.
380
00:20:31,606 --> 00:20:33,441
{\an8}I would've loved to caddy for him.
381
00:20:33,441 --> 00:20:36,403
{\an8}Hey, okay...
382
00:20:36,403 --> 00:20:38,780
{\an8}So I miss that part of it, being a dad,
383
00:20:38,780 --> 00:20:40,782
{\an8}but I have business
to take care of myself.
384
00:20:40,782 --> 00:20:42,075
{\an8}Nice.
385
00:20:42,659 --> 00:20:43,952
Back of the cup, baby.
386
00:20:50,417 --> 00:20:54,045
Welcome along
to the 150th Open
387
00:20:54,045 --> 00:20:57,882
at the Old Course at Saint Andrews.
388
00:20:58,550 --> 00:21:01,511
When you think about where golf began,
389
00:21:01,511 --> 00:21:03,263
the answer is Scotland.
390
00:21:03,263 --> 00:21:07,017
And St Andrews is the home of golf.
391
00:21:07,517 --> 00:21:09,978
There's just so much history there.
392
00:21:09,978 --> 00:21:13,565
{\an8}It's one of the most iconic places
for golf in the world.
393
00:21:14,149 --> 00:21:19,029
Every single player relished being there
at The Open and playing at St Andrews.
394
00:21:20,613 --> 00:21:24,576
The opportunity to win an Open
at St Andrews, is...
395
00:21:24,576 --> 00:21:26,328
People have called it golf's Holy Grail.
396
00:21:26,328 --> 00:21:30,206
{\an8} And the champion golfer
of the year is Tiger Woods.
397
00:21:31,541 --> 00:21:34,711
And no truly great career,
398
00:21:34,711 --> 00:21:37,672
some people say,
is complete without that victory.
399
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,761
{\an8}In the peak of your career,
guys are really only gonna have two,
400
00:21:42,761 --> 00:21:45,972
{\an8}maybe three chances at the most
to really get it done.
401
00:21:45,972 --> 00:21:47,766
Lots of storylines this week,
402
00:21:47,766 --> 00:21:50,268
but none better than Tiger Woods.
403
00:21:50,268 --> 00:21:53,146
Will he be competitive?
Can he make the cut?
404
00:21:53,146 --> 00:21:57,817
Or will this be the last time he walks
on the historic soil of St Andrews
405
00:21:57,817 --> 00:21:59,402
at The Open championship?
406
00:22:01,237 --> 00:22:03,114
What's up?
You'll take the case?
407
00:22:07,243 --> 00:22:08,787
Glad it's still in here.
408
00:22:08,787 --> 00:22:10,705
That's... That's a win.
409
00:22:12,082 --> 00:22:13,666
All right. Off we go.
410
00:22:15,543 --> 00:22:20,048
When you win the Claret Jug,
you get to keep the real thing for a year.
411
00:22:20,048 --> 00:22:23,468
But then,
come next year's Open Championship,
412
00:22:23,468 --> 00:22:25,136
you have to give it back.
413
00:22:25,136 --> 00:22:28,890
{\an8} Collin Morikawa
writing his own chapter
414
00:22:29,474 --> 00:22:31,226
in major championship history.
415
00:22:31,810 --> 00:22:33,603
I can't believe it's been a year.
416
00:22:33,603 --> 00:22:36,481
It sucks to give the Claret Jug back,
417
00:22:36,481 --> 00:22:39,109
but there's excitement
being the 150th Open.
418
00:22:39,109 --> 00:22:42,862
And this is a place that I've never been.
I've never played St Andrews.
419
00:22:42,862 --> 00:22:45,573
Being the defending champion,
there's a lot of eyes on you.
420
00:22:45,573 --> 00:22:47,242
I hope to see this again on Sunday.
421
00:22:47,242 --> 00:22:50,078
- Morning. How you doing?
- Good. And you? Welcome to Scotland.
422
00:22:50,078 --> 00:22:54,249
{\an8}- And you. You've made your history now.
- It's been amazing. It really has.
423
00:22:54,249 --> 00:22:57,043
- You enjoyed the year?
- It's been... Nothing like it.
424
00:22:57,043 --> 00:22:58,294
It's been fantastic.
425
00:22:58,294 --> 00:23:00,338
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
426
00:23:00,338 --> 00:23:02,674
- Hopefully, we'll give it back to you.
- Absolutely.
427
00:23:02,674 --> 00:23:03,591
Best of luck.
428
00:23:03,591 --> 00:23:05,468
Wait, can we do another hand over?
429
00:23:05,468 --> 00:23:08,138
- No, he's superstitious.
- Come on. I already gave it over!
430
00:23:09,305 --> 00:23:10,765
- Sorry.
- Brilliant.
431
00:23:10,765 --> 00:23:12,684
- Collin, thank you very much.
- Thank you.
432
00:23:16,271 --> 00:23:18,356
My wife's got
some nice videos here.
433
00:23:19,107 --> 00:23:21,901
How did he play yesterday?
I didn't even ask you this morning.
434
00:23:21,901 --> 00:23:24,737
- No good.
- No good? So he's one over?
435
00:23:24,737 --> 00:23:27,949
- He was four-over, one-over...
- He shot four-over, one-over...
436
00:23:27,949 --> 00:23:29,826
Then I think he shot 12-over yesterday.
437
00:23:29,826 --> 00:23:31,661
- Aw man.
- Yeah, he didn't...
438
00:23:32,162 --> 00:23:34,497
- It wasn't good.
- Have you chatted with him yet?
439
00:23:34,497 --> 00:23:36,499
Yeah, I talked to him. I talked to Alayna.
440
00:23:36,499 --> 00:23:39,043
{\an8}Alayna felt like he kind of gave up,
441
00:23:39,043 --> 00:23:40,712
{\an8}which I don't like to hear.
442
00:23:40,712 --> 00:23:43,089
{\an8}In a tournament,
you just keep playing to the end.
443
00:23:43,756 --> 00:23:46,134
- This is how it is, you know? But...
- Yeah.
444
00:23:46,134 --> 00:23:47,051
He's learning.
445
00:23:48,386 --> 00:23:50,054
Tony was pretty sad
446
00:23:50,054 --> 00:23:52,682
about not being there
for Jraice's first Junior World.
447
00:23:52,682 --> 00:23:57,228
The fact that Tony won Junior World
when he was 12, they have that bond.
448
00:23:58,021 --> 00:23:59,731
Tony probably mentioned once, like,
449
00:23:59,731 --> 00:24:03,234
"I wish I could be there with you,
big dog, but I'll be there when you win."
450
00:24:05,528 --> 00:24:10,074
And he will move across to the 18th
451
00:24:10,074 --> 00:24:12,785
{\an8}to the one and only Tiger Woods.
452
00:24:14,037 --> 00:24:17,165
{\an8}Whether or not it's the last time
we see him play competitively
453
00:24:17,165 --> 00:24:19,626
{\an8}here at Saint Andrews,
454
00:24:19,626 --> 00:24:22,879
{\an8}he has brought so much
to the game, hasn't he?
455
00:24:25,089 --> 00:24:27,425
Let the great man have this moment.
456
00:24:34,140 --> 00:24:36,935
Well, it's not been
the week he was hoping for
457
00:24:36,935 --> 00:24:40,438
on his return to Saint Andrews
and The Open.
458
00:24:45,652 --> 00:24:48,112
Collin Morikawa has
in some ways been
459
00:24:48,112 --> 00:24:50,740
the latest heir to Tiger Woods's throne.
460
00:24:51,866 --> 00:24:53,159
{\an8} For a birdie.
461
00:24:54,327 --> 00:24:58,748
Ooh, last year at this time,
could barely miss one of those.
462
00:24:58,748 --> 00:25:03,211
I think anytime someone is comparing you
to Tiger Woods, A, it's irresponsible,
463
00:25:03,211 --> 00:25:06,631
but, yeah, B, it definitely puts
a little bit of a burden on you.
464
00:25:06,631 --> 00:25:09,175
{\an8}Morikawa came into the year red-hot.
465
00:25:09,968 --> 00:25:11,719
{\an8}Expectations were through the roof.
466
00:25:12,387 --> 00:25:14,556
Morikawa needs to get something going.
467
00:25:14,556 --> 00:25:17,392
Tiger Woods ruined expectations
for every golfer.
468
00:25:17,392 --> 00:25:21,729
{\an8}Tiger hit that peak level of performance,
469
00:25:21,729 --> 00:25:25,024
{\an8}and then just sustained it
for years and years and years.
470
00:25:25,024 --> 00:25:27,193
But that's not really how golf works.
471
00:25:27,193 --> 00:25:28,403
Oh!
472
00:25:28,403 --> 00:25:29,779
Good-looking, Collin!
473
00:25:29,779 --> 00:25:33,616
Three over par for Collin Morikawa.
And the odds lengthen.
474
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,786
Golf is a fickle, fickle sport.
475
00:25:36,786 --> 00:25:39,622
{\an8}Going forward, the question then becomes
476
00:25:39,622 --> 00:25:42,792
whether we've already seen Collin's peak,
477
00:25:42,792 --> 00:25:46,296
or whether this was just a little dip,
and he'll be back
478
00:25:46,296 --> 00:25:49,966
to those Tiger Woods comparisons
before we know it.
479
00:25:49,966 --> 00:25:54,304
Oh dear. Could be
his Open Championship, finito.
480
00:25:54,304 --> 00:25:57,682
I don't care what everyone else thinks.
Yeah, we've had a tough season,
481
00:25:57,682 --> 00:25:59,726
and people look and start saying things.
482
00:25:59,726 --> 00:26:03,563
{\an8}But, um, if I can at least grow from it
and get better, you know,
483
00:26:03,563 --> 00:26:06,691
{\an8}it's only going to make me better,
hopefully, in the long run.
484
00:26:06,691 --> 00:26:10,194
{\an8} To 16. Hardest hole
on the course, and Tony Finau.
485
00:26:12,614 --> 00:26:14,073
Get up. Fall.
486
00:26:14,073 --> 00:26:15,658
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
487
00:26:17,368 --> 00:26:20,580
I was curious to see
how he would get on at The Open
488
00:26:20,580 --> 00:26:22,498
without the family there.
489
00:26:22,498 --> 00:26:27,712
A lot of questions about his ability
to focus has been put on him.
490
00:26:28,379 --> 00:26:32,383
{\an8}Always a little bit of a question mark of,
"Am I doing the right things?"
491
00:26:33,509 --> 00:26:35,803
{\an8} Tony Finau,
bogeyed 16 and 17.
492
00:26:35,803 --> 00:26:38,306
He's outside the cut line.
He needs at least a three
493
00:26:38,306 --> 00:26:39,724
to be around for the weekend.
494
00:26:40,725 --> 00:26:42,435
{\an8} Do you keep doing
what you're doing,
495
00:26:42,435 --> 00:26:45,438
{\an8}or is a little alarm bell ringing
to make some changes?
496
00:26:46,814 --> 00:26:47,899
Go, Tony!
497
00:26:47,899 --> 00:26:49,692
- Go, Tony!
- Get it, man!
498
00:26:49,692 --> 00:26:51,277
Just kick right. Kick right.
499
00:26:52,779 --> 00:26:54,113
Get in the hole!
500
00:26:55,281 --> 00:26:56,532
Come on. Come on!
501
00:26:57,241 --> 00:27:00,703
And leave him with that
to get a tee time tomorrow morning.
502
00:27:02,038 --> 00:27:03,122
Uphill.
503
00:27:04,749 --> 00:27:05,875
{\an8}Took a bounce.
504
00:27:06,626 --> 00:27:07,460
Didn't matter.
505
00:27:07,460 --> 00:27:09,754
He knew what it meant. Fist pump.
506
00:27:19,305 --> 00:27:21,724
At this point in his career,
Tony Finau is looking
507
00:27:21,724 --> 00:27:23,810
to win major championships.
508
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,979
How good is that, man? How good is that.
509
00:27:26,979 --> 00:27:29,190
I mean, goodness gracious. Right?
510
00:27:30,316 --> 00:27:33,528
At this Open, ended up
finishing twenty-eighth overall,
511
00:27:33,528 --> 00:27:35,196
which is respectable, but,
512
00:27:35,196 --> 00:27:38,491
ultimately, another forgettable finish
513
00:27:38,491 --> 00:27:41,953
in what has been to this point
a pretty forgettable season.
514
00:27:42,537 --> 00:27:44,497
- Bye, Tony.
- Here for the weekend.
515
00:27:45,248 --> 00:27:48,334
When Tony came to St Andrews,
his family wasn't with him,
516
00:27:48,334 --> 00:27:50,253
but he didn't play great.
517
00:27:50,837 --> 00:27:54,132
{\an8}If Tony's not getting it done,
Tony's not getting it done.
518
00:27:54,132 --> 00:27:57,427
{\an8}It's not his circumstance and
his situation that's not getting it done.
519
00:27:58,636 --> 00:28:02,098
Tony has infinite wisdom,
and he really has a good understanding
520
00:28:02,098 --> 00:28:05,059
of what he's here for
and why he's doing what he's doing.
521
00:28:07,311 --> 00:28:10,314
When people talk about
my family might be a distraction,
522
00:28:11,315 --> 00:28:14,152
you don't really know someone
unless you walked in their shoes.
523
00:28:15,069 --> 00:28:17,488
{\an8} Want to thank
everyone sincerely for being here.
524
00:28:17,488 --> 00:28:19,907
I see so many familiar faces every year.
525
00:28:19,907 --> 00:28:23,703
Tony, when I think of Tony,
it's family, faith, and golf.
526
00:28:23,703 --> 00:28:26,372
Let's give the family that
supported him over the years,
527
00:28:26,372 --> 00:28:28,249
his whole life, a round of applause.
528
00:28:28,916 --> 00:28:31,377
You can get so engulfed
in the game of golf
529
00:28:31,377 --> 00:28:34,380
that a lot of times
you don't enjoy the joys in your life.
530
00:28:35,047 --> 00:28:38,384
This year was a year that I knew
I needed to be there for my wife.
531
00:28:38,384 --> 00:28:41,763
And I will say a lot of my focus
was there, making sure that she was
532
00:28:41,763 --> 00:28:43,806
mentally, emotionally okay.
533
00:28:43,806 --> 00:28:46,559
I know what it's like to lose a parent.
534
00:28:47,143 --> 00:28:50,229
Today, I want to recognize
Tony's mother, Vena,
535
00:28:50,229 --> 00:28:53,107
and Tony's father-in-law, Tipa.
536
00:28:54,484 --> 00:28:56,027
You know, there's always...
537
00:28:58,321 --> 00:29:00,615
There's always
a special person...
538
00:29:06,287 --> 00:29:09,081
...in my life that's never able to be here.
539
00:29:11,751 --> 00:29:16,047
Tony's mom, Ravena,
she passed away in 2011.
540
00:29:16,839 --> 00:29:20,468
Ravena, his sister Narnar,
and his oldest brother, Kinga,
541
00:29:21,260 --> 00:29:26,516
they got into a tragic car accident,
and she passed away on the spot.
542
00:29:28,643 --> 00:29:31,813
My parents would drive me up in this...
up and down this whole state
543
00:29:32,939 --> 00:29:34,148
as a kid, and...
544
00:29:34,690 --> 00:29:37,693
We didn't know anything about golf.
I didn't know how to play golf,
545
00:29:37,693 --> 00:29:38,986
didn't know how to dress.
546
00:29:38,986 --> 00:29:40,822
Whoo!
547
00:29:40,822 --> 00:29:44,158
And I can't help
but think about the wonderful sacrifice
548
00:29:44,158 --> 00:29:49,664
that my parents have made
for me, my family.
549
00:29:49,664 --> 00:29:51,666
But they've been
there since the beginning.
550
00:29:52,458 --> 00:29:57,129
She passed away on November 27th, 2011,
551
00:29:57,129 --> 00:30:00,466
and then I had Jraice
November 28th, the next day.
552
00:30:01,509 --> 00:30:04,846
So, yeah, it was... It was crazy.
553
00:30:06,013 --> 00:30:10,977
Tony is his mom.
Very open, very generous, very loving.
554
00:30:10,977 --> 00:30:14,605
Tony misses her all the time.
She was really, really close with Tony.
555
00:30:15,106 --> 00:30:17,984
It's a motivation for him
to achieve what he has achieved.
556
00:30:17,984 --> 00:30:20,570
Making sure that
he can make his mom proud
557
00:30:21,279 --> 00:30:24,490
and doing the things
that his mom wanted him to do.
558
00:30:25,366 --> 00:30:27,243
I had a pretty amazing mom.
559
00:30:31,289 --> 00:30:33,499
I feel like I just have to show the world,
560
00:30:34,917 --> 00:30:38,921
not only what a great player I am,
but the person I was raised to be.
561
00:30:45,136 --> 00:30:47,680
There's so many firsts
in that first year.
562
00:30:48,431 --> 00:30:52,018
The first day without her,
the first week, the first month,
563
00:30:52,018 --> 00:30:55,563
the first Thanksgiving, Christmas...
564
00:31:09,577 --> 00:31:10,620
I'm sorry.
565
00:31:11,412 --> 00:31:15,166
The traditions, you know,
we created as family...
566
00:31:17,668 --> 00:31:21,714
You know, that first year
was extremely difficult to get through.
567
00:31:30,348 --> 00:31:31,265
Baby.
568
00:31:32,016 --> 00:31:34,977
Hi, baby.
569
00:31:35,728 --> 00:31:37,897
My career means a lot to me.
570
00:31:37,897 --> 00:31:40,816
And at times, I think we can mistake
that it means everything.
571
00:31:40,816 --> 00:31:44,445
Come on, girl.
You don't be looking at Daddy's cards!
572
00:31:44,445 --> 00:31:46,072
Come on, man!
573
00:31:47,615 --> 00:31:51,619
I knew what my wife was going through.
I knew what she was dealing with.
574
00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:57,541
It was more important for me...
to be there for her during these firsts
575
00:31:58,501 --> 00:32:00,002
than really be anywhere else.
576
00:32:00,002 --> 00:32:03,589
And so... could my game
have taken a back seat?
577
00:32:04,340 --> 00:32:05,549
Maybe.
578
00:32:05,549 --> 00:32:06,842
Potentially.
579
00:32:06,842 --> 00:32:10,596
But that... That's not nearly
as important to me as my wife was
580
00:32:10,596 --> 00:32:12,431
and making sure I was there for her
581
00:32:12,431 --> 00:32:15,101
as the strength that she's been
for me for many years.
582
00:32:16,644 --> 00:32:18,688
Nene. Give me my card, Nene.
583
00:32:19,355 --> 00:32:20,189
Be nice.
584
00:32:21,232 --> 00:32:23,067
- Let's get it, Nene!
- No!
585
00:32:23,067 --> 00:32:25,236
- Let's get it!
- You have a long way to go.
586
00:32:25,236 --> 00:32:27,279
- Twenty. Let's go.
- Let's get this.
587
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:28,739
- Next phase.
- Thirty!
588
00:32:28,739 --> 00:32:30,157
Next phase.
589
00:32:34,745 --> 00:32:39,000
When I have a vision of my mom,
I envision her smiling all the time.
590
00:32:39,500 --> 00:32:42,628
She has this saying in Samoan,
tumau le malosi,
591
00:32:42,628 --> 00:32:44,171
and she would always pound her chest.
592
00:32:44,171 --> 00:32:46,298
And that means be strong or stay strong.
593
00:32:46,298 --> 00:32:48,175
And I think about that all the time.
594
00:32:48,759 --> 00:32:53,180
This week at the 3M, the story
has been 43-year-old Scott Piercy.
595
00:32:53,180 --> 00:32:57,059
It's really his tournament
going out with a four-shot lead on Sunday.
596
00:32:57,059 --> 00:33:01,188
It was so important after The Open
to just take the small victories with me.
597
00:33:01,188 --> 00:33:04,442
{\an8}One of the small victories was
that I made a big putt when it counted.
598
00:33:04,442 --> 00:33:07,820
{\an8}And that may sound funny to some people,
but to me, that's a big deal.
599
00:33:07,820 --> 00:33:10,656
If this putter gets hot,
he could be a factor.
600
00:33:11,574 --> 00:33:13,826
These are the ones
you feel like you have to make.
601
00:33:13,826 --> 00:33:15,745
- He did!
- There!
602
00:33:16,287 --> 00:33:19,498
The putter started to feel better.
So things were starting to line up.
603
00:33:19,498 --> 00:33:22,293
Watch out. Tony Finau,
a couple of early birdies.
604
00:33:23,627 --> 00:33:25,129
{\an8} Piercy for par.
605
00:33:25,129 --> 00:33:27,798
{\an8}A five-shot lead over Tony Finau.
606
00:33:29,383 --> 00:33:33,220
{\an8} Okay,
so his first bobble of round four.
607
00:33:34,430 --> 00:33:38,893
{\an8} Piercy steps in to try
to avoid a second consecutive bogey.
608
00:33:42,021 --> 00:33:44,148
{\an8}Okay, they'll make the turn,
the last group
609
00:33:44,148 --> 00:33:46,233
{\an8}with Piercy's lead reduced to four.
610
00:33:47,777 --> 00:33:51,363
{\an8} It'll be very interesting
to see how close he could get.
611
00:33:52,323 --> 00:33:56,118
{\an8} We're all thinking Scott Piercy
has complete control of this tournament.
612
00:33:56,118 --> 00:33:59,371
- And that's not the case.
- There you go.
613
00:33:59,371 --> 00:34:03,375
Tony Finau, come from behind,
starts climbing up this leaderboard.
614
00:34:03,375 --> 00:34:04,960
{\an8} Big putt here for Piercy.
615
00:34:05,795 --> 00:34:07,338
{\an8}He's dropped back to 17-under.
616
00:34:08,047 --> 00:34:09,215
{\an8} The knock on Tony is
617
00:34:09,215 --> 00:34:12,343
{\an8}when he needs to make certain putts,
they don't drop.
618
00:34:13,469 --> 00:34:16,305
And all of a sudden,
he starts making those putts
619
00:34:16,305 --> 00:34:19,350
he wouldn't make previously
when he was in contention.
620
00:34:21,644 --> 00:34:23,104
{\an8} Gotta go.
621
00:34:24,855 --> 00:34:25,940
Still in the sand.
622
00:34:28,526 --> 00:34:29,944
Oh, god dammit.
623
00:34:29,944 --> 00:34:32,071
Keep right. Keep right.
624
00:34:32,071 --> 00:34:33,239
Oh!
625
00:34:34,740 --> 00:34:36,033
It's a hard game.
626
00:34:36,534 --> 00:34:38,327
It's a cruel game.
627
00:34:38,327 --> 00:34:41,413
Finau,
he's about to be the leader.
628
00:34:41,413 --> 00:34:45,209
{\an8} One thing I've always dreamed of
is having my family there for a win.
629
00:34:45,209 --> 00:34:47,878
{\an8}They weren't there for my first win,
for my second win.
630
00:34:47,878 --> 00:34:49,547
{\an8} Good putt. Oh!
631
00:34:50,631 --> 00:34:51,966
Incredible.
632
00:34:51,966 --> 00:34:53,634
Now he's at 17.
633
00:34:54,260 --> 00:34:56,137
...Tony, here we go!
634
00:34:56,762 --> 00:34:58,430
Here we go, Tony!
635
00:35:01,183 --> 00:35:05,688
{\an8} And I had such an adrenaline rush.
I went from three down on 13
636
00:35:05,688 --> 00:35:08,107
to four up teeing up on 17.
637
00:35:08,107 --> 00:35:11,443
Seriously, it just feels
like goosebumps and like ah!
638
00:35:11,443 --> 00:35:14,530
Just, like, a flutter in my heart.
Like, "Yes, he has this."
639
00:35:14,530 --> 00:35:16,365
Like, "It's his time."
640
00:35:16,365 --> 00:35:18,826
The young man
has had ten 2nds in his career
641
00:35:18,826 --> 00:35:19,994
along with the two wins.
642
00:35:19,994 --> 00:35:22,496
And in those ten 2nds,
he has had a lot of bad luck.
643
00:35:22,496 --> 00:35:25,291
So, it's good to see
he's finally had some good luck.
644
00:35:25,291 --> 00:35:28,252
Tony Finau figured out a way
to do it with this family watching.
645
00:35:28,252 --> 00:35:30,421
And it was unbelievable.
646
00:35:32,423 --> 00:35:34,675
{\an8} People will,
when they talk about Tony, they say,
647
00:35:34,675 --> 00:35:36,927
{\an8}"Man, Tony's a great golfer, but..." Right?
648
00:35:36,927 --> 00:35:40,181
The great thing about a career,
a career's a long time.
649
00:35:40,181 --> 00:35:41,557
It's a long time.
650
00:35:41,557 --> 00:35:43,601
He's just getting started. He really is.
651
00:35:44,518 --> 00:35:46,729
{\an8} Now Finau, to win it.
652
00:35:50,316 --> 00:35:53,485
Tony Finau! The champion at the 3M!
653
00:35:57,406 --> 00:35:59,533
The man from Salt Lake
654
00:35:59,533 --> 00:36:02,536
has won in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
655
00:36:04,496 --> 00:36:07,416
You're wearing green today
as you always do to honor your mother.
656
00:36:07,416 --> 00:36:11,295
This is the first win where everyone
in your family is here in attendance.
657
00:36:11,295 --> 00:36:13,088
What does this one mean?
658
00:36:13,088 --> 00:36:15,299
Yeah, you're gonna get me
all choked up here.
659
00:36:15,299 --> 00:36:18,385
I love my family.
I love my mom. I miss her, and, um...
660
00:36:19,386 --> 00:36:21,472
It's so special to have
my family here with me.
661
00:36:21,472 --> 00:36:24,266
There's been a lot of people
that have got me to this point,
662
00:36:24,266 --> 00:36:27,061
and I'd be selfish
not to thank so many people.
663
00:36:27,061 --> 00:36:31,440
But my parents and my wife are people
that have supported me from day one.
664
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:32,900
You know, this one's for them.
665
00:36:32,900 --> 00:36:36,070
Tony, you have earned this victory.
Go celebrate with your family.
666
00:36:36,070 --> 00:36:37,321
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
667
00:36:37,321 --> 00:36:39,365
- High five, kiddo!
668
00:36:39,365 --> 00:36:42,785
My wife, she's been a rock to me
from the beginning of our marriage.
669
00:36:42,785 --> 00:36:45,996
You know, she saw me play
when I pretty much was nobody.
670
00:36:47,665 --> 00:36:49,750
{\an8} Getting through
those years together,
671
00:36:49,750 --> 00:36:51,210
{\an8}man, that was tough.
672
00:36:54,004 --> 00:36:56,298
And now she gets to watch me
in front of the world,
673
00:36:58,133 --> 00:37:00,261
'cause she was there
when no one else was too.
674
00:37:03,931 --> 00:37:04,890
Sorry.
675
00:37:07,434 --> 00:37:11,105
Tony's win at 3M? There's a lot
of talking heads out there, right?
676
00:37:11,105 --> 00:37:14,692
So they talk about, you know,
the strength of field being weak.
677
00:37:14,692 --> 00:37:16,902
People are allowed
to think whatever they want.
678
00:37:16,902 --> 00:37:18,696
They have the right to their opinion.
679
00:37:18,696 --> 00:37:19,738
A win is a win.
680
00:37:19,738 --> 00:37:23,367
Isn't that funny how we always ask,
"Why isn't Tony Finau winning more?"
681
00:37:23,367 --> 00:37:25,995
And then he wins,
and then we're finding reasons
682
00:37:25,995 --> 00:37:28,914
to not give him the credit he deserves.
683
00:37:35,713 --> 00:37:37,756
I had a sour taste
in my mouth after the win.
684
00:37:37,756 --> 00:37:40,968
Honestly, I still thought
that I had something to prove.
685
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,763
Silence some of the doubters
if they have any doubt the week before
686
00:37:44,763 --> 00:37:47,766
on the weak field
and whatever the naysayers had to say.
687
00:37:51,145 --> 00:37:53,647
From Detroit,
it's the final round
688
00:37:53,647 --> 00:37:55,858
of the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
689
00:37:55,858 --> 00:38:01,905
Everyone's chasing this man, Tony Finau,
trying to go back-to-back on the PGA TOUR.
690
00:38:01,905 --> 00:38:04,950
He felt like
after winning on the PGA TOUR,
691
00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:08,037
he got up the next week and said,
"I have something more to prove."
692
00:38:08,037 --> 00:38:12,541
And if that isn't a champion's mentality,
I don't know what is.
693
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:17,379
Some of the best golf I think
that I've played in my career.
694
00:38:17,379 --> 00:38:19,340
So it is Finau
who has just
695
00:38:19,340 --> 00:38:21,925
chewed up this second half this week.
696
00:38:21,925 --> 00:38:24,636
{\an8}Has a three-shot lead on the 11th green.
697
00:38:25,137 --> 00:38:27,014
I made one bogey
throughout the week,
698
00:38:27,014 --> 00:38:29,183
which I'm actually still
a little sour about.
699
00:38:29,183 --> 00:38:31,477
{\an8}It would be nice to say
zero bogeys on the week.
700
00:38:32,269 --> 00:38:33,687
Going left with speed.
701
00:38:34,271 --> 00:38:37,608
{\an8}- Oh, it's perfect.
- It's a sweet tune at 12.
702
00:38:39,151 --> 00:38:42,905
Finau bounces right back
after his first bogey of the week.
703
00:38:44,740 --> 00:38:46,909
What's happened up to this point,
704
00:38:46,909 --> 00:38:49,286
it's all been schooling
and education for him.
705
00:38:49,286 --> 00:38:53,082
{\an8}And I think he's starting to sort it out,
where everything fits.
706
00:38:53,582 --> 00:38:54,875
{\an8} Let's go, Tony!
707
00:38:54,875 --> 00:38:57,419
I mean,
to win back-to-back weeks on tour,
708
00:38:57,419 --> 00:39:00,172
that just speaks more
to where his game is evolving.
709
00:39:00,172 --> 00:39:04,468
To me, that was the thing
that said he's ready to take this thing
710
00:39:04,468 --> 00:39:07,805
to a whole different place that
we haven't seen yet from Tony Finau.
711
00:39:08,722 --> 00:39:11,809
{\an8}The floodgates are open
for Tony Finau
712
00:39:11,809 --> 00:39:15,104
{\an8}as he goes back-to-back on the PGA TOUR.
713
00:39:15,104 --> 00:39:17,314
Yahoo!
714
00:39:19,024 --> 00:39:20,609
Back-to-back!
715
00:39:21,777 --> 00:39:23,987
I think now
the question's gonna be,
716
00:39:23,987 --> 00:39:26,407
"Well, okay,
so when's he gonna win a major?"
717
00:39:26,990 --> 00:39:28,742
Then when he wins a major, like,
718
00:39:28,742 --> 00:39:30,911
"Okay, but he should be winning
more majors,
719
00:39:31,954 --> 00:39:34,581
because he's Tony Finau
and look how great he is."
720
00:39:35,082 --> 00:39:38,544
And people are just always
going to want more from Tony Finau.
721
00:39:39,128 --> 00:39:42,214
An emotional hug
with your wife right there.
722
00:39:42,214 --> 00:39:44,633
Who do you hope these wins are inspiring?
723
00:39:44,633 --> 00:39:47,928
Hopefully, the next generation,
and especially my son back home.
724
00:39:48,512 --> 00:39:49,847
Jraice, boy.
725
00:39:51,181 --> 00:39:53,016
This is for you, big dog. Um...
726
00:39:54,059 --> 00:39:57,062
You know, my kids,
they see the work that Dad puts in,
727
00:39:57,062 --> 00:40:00,441
and it means everything to me
that my kids can watch me not only fail,
728
00:40:00,441 --> 00:40:03,819
but they watch me win as well.
And that's what it takes to be a champion.
729
00:40:09,950 --> 00:40:12,578
- Wanna make, like, a massive one?
- Yes!
730
00:40:12,578 --> 00:40:15,581
- "Back-to-back champ."
- I like that, yes.
731
00:40:16,582 --> 00:40:19,501
Everybody's inside making the posters.
We've got all the posters.
732
00:40:19,501 --> 00:40:21,837
There's a couple more
that still have to get done.
733
00:40:21,837 --> 00:40:23,422
- Good to see you.
- Hello!
734
00:40:24,923 --> 00:40:28,177
We love Tony. We love Tony.
We love Tony.
735
00:40:29,094 --> 00:40:31,221
And make sure everybody has a poster,
736
00:40:31,221 --> 00:40:33,682
and when he comes out,
then he'll see us outside.
737
00:40:35,642 --> 00:40:40,063
This is Tony's grandmother,
and she just turned 89 yesterday.
738
00:40:40,063 --> 00:40:44,193
{\an8}This is not even half.
Maybe about this much family to come,
739
00:40:44,193 --> 00:40:46,820
but I'm so glad because
we can't fit more people in here.
740
00:40:49,740 --> 00:40:53,785
I do think the back-to-back wins
validate how I go about my business.
741
00:40:53,785 --> 00:40:56,288
He's about a minute,
a minute and a half away.
742
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,250
Whether it's changed people's
minds about who I am and how I do it?
743
00:41:00,250 --> 00:41:01,752
You know, that's up to them.
744
00:41:01,752 --> 00:41:04,046
I haven't allowed
the outside noise to tell me
745
00:41:04,046 --> 00:41:07,508
who I am and how
I should go about doing what I do.
746
00:41:07,508 --> 00:41:09,384
For me, always family first.
747
00:41:16,642 --> 00:41:20,062
You know, a winner is just a loser
who never gave up. That's me to a T.
748
00:41:20,062 --> 00:41:24,107
And that's how I truly feel.
You know, if you don't win, you learn.
749
00:41:27,027 --> 00:41:30,697
You know, in golf, you don't win a lot.
There's a lot of learning you do
750
00:41:30,697 --> 00:41:33,784
when it comes to golf,
because you ain't gonna win every week.
751
00:41:33,784 --> 00:41:35,786
But that's really the game of life.
752
00:41:35,786 --> 00:41:39,248
I mean, how many more Ls does it feel
like we take than Ws, right?
753
00:41:42,501 --> 00:41:44,253
We pick ourselves back up,
754
00:41:44,253 --> 00:41:46,463
we learn,
and we just try to keep moving forward.
755
00:41:50,842 --> 00:41:54,805
- Oh, that was pretty cool.
- Okay, Netflix!
756
00:41:54,805 --> 00:41:56,014
Hi, honey.
757
00:41:56,014 --> 00:41:57,849
- We're out!
758
00:41:57,849 --> 00:41:59,142
Thank you.
759
00:41:59,685 --> 00:42:00,936
Hi, children!
760
00:42:00,936 --> 00:42:02,854
- Hi, Jraice boy.
- Hello.
761
00:42:02,854 --> 00:42:04,314
- Hi, Nene.
- Hi.
762
00:42:04,314 --> 00:42:05,732
- Hi, Tone.
- Hi.
763
00:42:05,732 --> 00:42:07,192
- Hi, Sage.
- Hi, Dad.
764
00:42:07,192 --> 00:42:10,195
- How was that, Jraice boy?
- It was cool.
765
00:42:10,195 --> 00:42:12,447
- Did you get my shout-out?
- Yeah.
766
00:42:12,447 --> 00:42:15,701
Dad, but Jraice
was talking bad about you.
767
00:42:15,701 --> 00:42:18,829
- No! When?
- Yes, he was! Yes, he was! He was!
768
00:42:18,829 --> 00:42:20,789
- When I made bogey, yeah?
- Yeah.
769
00:42:20,789 --> 00:42:22,833
Wow.
One bogey I made for 17 holes?
770
00:42:22,833 --> 00:42:26,461
Well, it... Bro, I would make
that putt eight times out of ten.
771
00:42:29,798 --> 00:42:33,802
{\an8} Mito, I want to talk to you about
the PGA Championships.
772
00:42:38,599 --> 00:42:42,269
Mito Pereira is
a 27-year-old Chilean rookie
773
00:42:42,269 --> 00:42:44,062
with pretty high expectations.
774
00:42:44,062 --> 00:42:46,565
What is this?
Yeah, he doesn't know what to do.
775
00:42:46,565 --> 00:42:48,150
You can see him feel everything.
776
00:42:48,150 --> 00:42:51,236
Sahith had
a strong amateur career,
777
00:42:51,236 --> 00:42:53,614
but no one expects a ton.
778
00:42:53,614 --> 00:42:55,198
Oh, wow!
779
00:42:55,198 --> 00:42:56,408
Please tell me.
780
00:42:56,408 --> 00:42:57,826
Safe? Safe? Is that safe?
781
00:42:57,826 --> 00:43:00,078
- Guys? It went in the water?
- Yeah, it did.
782
00:43:00,579 --> 00:43:02,831
He's just really frustrated.
783
00:43:02,831 --> 00:43:04,541
Must be really deflated.
784
00:43:05,042 --> 00:43:08,587
These guys are here to win.
That's what they want to do.
785
00:43:08,587 --> 00:43:11,798
And it is so hard to win on the PGA TOUR.
786
00:43:11,798 --> 00:43:13,967
No! No, no, no!
787
00:43:13,967 --> 00:43:16,094
There is going to be
some scar tissue there.
788
00:43:17,220 --> 00:43:18,347
Golf is hard, yeah.
