00:00Hello and welcome to Royal Liverpool Golf Club.
00:03The green behind Dan and I is the 18th here and in the middle of the summer
00:07this will play host to the final men's major of the year.
00:10Now Dan, who are the last two players to win the Open at Royal Liverpool?
00:14Tiger Woods and Roy McIlroy, so I think you've got to keep some pretty good company to win around here.
00:19Yeah, and part of the reason for that is that the final three holes here are a proper challenge
00:24and that's what we're going to do today.
00:25So we're going to have a heads-head challenge, playing 16, 17 and 18.
00:2917 is an all-new hole for this year, a little par 3.
00:33Gorgeous looking hole.
00:34Well worth a watch.
00:35And you and I are going to go head-to-head.
00:37Yes, absolutely.
00:38Okay, but there's a twist.
00:43Oh, my spin.
00:46Oh, turnover.
00:50Oh, I'm quite pleased with that.
00:56That's a good shot.
00:57Come on, hold your line. Be good.
01:02Right, so we're starting on 16.
01:06Off this tee it's 410, but obviously if you play at the Open Championship it's going to be a lot longer.
01:11It's all into the wind, it's a really tight fairway, there's complete cabbage everywhere you look.
01:17Cabbage and bunkers.
01:18Yeah, lots of bunkers.
01:21Do you know I mentioned at the beginning there was a twist?
01:23Yes, go on, fill me in.
01:25So, in order to make this a proper challenge, because obviously you and I, we don't want to finish birdie, birdie, birdie.
01:30As we would have.
01:31It's too boring to do that.
01:32Yeah, correct.
01:33But in order to make it a bit more of a challenge, I want you to pick three clubs.
01:37Three clubs, just a classic three-club challenge.
01:39I know what I'm going to go for.
01:40You've already selected yours.
01:41Let me think, I've done one of these before and I think definitely three-woods,
01:46because I don't think hybrid would be enough into this wind.
01:48I'm not going to dive right at the minute, so I can trust that three-wood.
01:51So you're coming with me.
01:52I'm going hybrid.
01:53So you're going hybrid in that, yeah.
01:54Why hybrid over three-wood?
01:56What if you get a bit dodgier lie?
01:58Because it's versatile.
02:00It is versatile.
02:01I'm going to hit eight-iron.
02:03I'll just pick my eight-iron out.
02:05I'm going to join you there, just because.
02:07Fine, and then I'm going to go putter.
02:09I'm going to go putter as well, yeah, obviously.
02:10If I was driving it, now a small secret, we have played the previous 15 holes,
02:14I've driven it really poorly with my driver, so if I was driving it well, I'd probably hit driver.
02:19That's what we've got in front of us.
02:21Apart from the bunkers and the cabbage, a small sliver of fairway between the two,
02:25and I've not got enough club.
02:27Apart from that.
02:28Otherwise, feeling good.
02:30Okay, right, go well.
02:32Try not to hit it too hard.
02:33Yeah, that's the key.
02:40Oh, turnover.
02:41It's a good try.
02:42It's trying.
02:43The wind's pushing it.
02:44It's hardest.
02:47It bounced.
02:48It bounced.
02:49Right-hand cabage.
02:50Right-hand cabage, okay, well.
02:53I struck it, though.
02:54You properly struck that.
02:55I was more middle-of-the-bat content from Neil Tappen.
02:59So, yeah, we've played the first 15 already.
03:01I've got the fade, so into this wind.
03:05I'm fancying starting it on your ball.
03:07Yeah.
03:08I'm letting it come in.
03:09You've got this.
03:11Three-wood.
03:12I've lofted this down slightly, not in preparation of this.
03:15It's slightly lofted down three-wood.
03:18Come on, Dan.
03:19Nice and smooth.
03:20That's the key.
03:26Oh, my spin.
03:27It's gone up like a pitching wing.
03:29It is.
03:30It's on my seven-wood.
03:31It couldn't be any straighter.
03:32Goodness me.
03:33So, as I mentioned, we are actually 15 holes in, Dan.
03:37Yeah, we've actually played 15 mixed holes of golf.
03:40What are your thoughts on the golf course?
03:42Well, this is my second time here.
03:43I was lucky to play enough back in 2021,
03:46and I loved it then, and I love it now.
03:48It's not – especially with all the stadiums up today, actually.
03:51Not stadiums, the grandstands.
03:53It's pretty cool to see that and feel that,
03:55but it just keeps you guessing, I think.
03:57And I do love the holes out by the estuary.
03:59That, for me, is the highlight of the golf course,
04:02and I'm excited to show you 17 for the first time,
04:04which I love the first time I played it.
04:06Yeah.
04:07They've introduced, I think, some new sandy waste areas.
04:09They look really smart.
04:10They look really good.
04:11It's got that kind of rugged, lynx-y, natural feel to it.
04:15The other thing that I have appreciated, having played the course,
04:18is how it plays in lots of different directions.
04:21It's not straight out back against it.
04:23The wind is always slightly doing something a little bit different,
04:26so you're always a little bit second-guessing.
04:29I think so.
04:30You don't have it so you're not into wind for a 9,
04:33and downwind for all 9.
04:34You get some crosswinds.
04:35You get a little bit of difference.
04:36And playing up 16 now into some pretty good wind,
04:40I do wish it had turned in a different direction, to be honest.
04:43What's the nickel saying, Dan?
04:45A long way.
04:46Obviously, it'll give you a more precise yardage.
04:48262.
04:50What is it back to the tick?
04:51Shall we check, actually?
04:52That's not a bad idea, is it?
04:54186.
04:55That's not bad into wind with a 3-wood.
04:56The spinniest 3-wood of all time, I think.
04:58Do you know what you don't need?
04:59Your ball to be on a little launch pad.
05:01Yeah, check this out, by the way.
05:02As if I didn't need help getting it in the air.
05:04Oh, get your maths out.
05:05Come on.
05:06Oh, excuse me.
05:07Sorry.
05:08We are two months out from the Open.
05:09Yeah.
05:10So, obviously, protecting the golf course.
05:12And we are all for that.
05:14I've actually struck them quite well.
05:16I've struck them quite well off these maths, actually.
05:17What can I do with it?
05:188-iron, 3-wood, or putter.
05:20Back comes the 3-wood.
05:22As I mentioned on the tee,
05:23I knocked this down a few months ago.
05:25It's going to offer you a tricky yardage for the 8-iron, isn't it?
05:29It'll be a little bumper run.
05:30It's all about keeping it on the short and narrow nail.
05:32We don't know where yours is yet, by the way.
05:34It could be any old nonsense, couldn't it?
05:37Just keep it on the straight and narrow, Dan.
05:38Nice and smooth again.
05:39Hit down on this nice mat.
05:49That has gone up like a pitch in a prop.
05:51Look at it.
05:52It's going to have gone 180 down the middle.
05:54It's an impressive sight, that.
05:55I can see where that ball is,
05:56and I'm going to be putting that.
05:57I promise you that.
05:58The 8-iron's not even coming into play.
05:59It's an impressive sight.
06:00That really is.
06:01Anyone want any tips on how to get it through and up in the air,
06:03follow me on Twitter or something.
06:04I don't know.
06:06You're not too bad there, actually.
06:07It wasn't too far in the cabbage.
06:08How far have you got, more importantly?
06:10234.
06:11Okay.
06:12Well, your hybrid's done much better than you think.
06:14234, and it's not a great lie.
06:16Is it conducive to just knocking, seeing what you have?
06:18It's got to be conducive to knocking something off with that hybrid.
06:20Well, this could go in on the ground.
06:22Could it be 8-iron, 8-iron?
06:24It could be.
06:25That's not my natural...
06:27Not your game.
06:28I'm worried about this post.
06:31No, don't worry about the post.
06:33If you hit that post...
06:34I'm not going to hit the post.
06:35I'd be more impressed.
06:36Just advance it forwards and try and keep it on the short stuff, surely.
06:40Your shot's looking better and better.
06:41It really is.
06:46Turn over, same as my tee shot.
06:48Onto the short stuff.
06:49We're the team of the day.
06:50We're through there.
06:52It might have worked.
06:53I reckon that's just gone through...
06:56Into some short stuff.
06:58You struck it all right.
06:59It was just right again.
07:00You're asking that wind to do a heck of a lot.
07:03It worked.
07:05Okay, I think my eyes have seen me slide.
07:07I'm not on the front edge of the green, but I'm not far off.
07:09But I am going to putt, because I said I was.
07:11I'm going to have to get a yardage for a putt here.
07:13By the way, I've been over to my ball.
07:15You don't want...
07:16I've got a tricky shot, I think it's fair to say.
07:18A 70-yard putt.
07:19So, okay, that's fine.
07:21I could actually, Neil, really, if I fancied it...
07:24Here, chip and run.
07:25Here, chip and run.
07:26It probably would be...
07:27I'm feeling...
07:28It's a forward.
07:29It's a three-club...
07:30No, hit putter.
07:31It's a three-club challenge.
07:32I'm feeling creative.
07:33I won't use my map, because I shouldn't take a divot with my putter.
07:36If I do, the RNA can write to me.
07:4070-yard putt.
07:41Come on.
07:42Get nice and close.
07:46That's the biggest putt I've seen.
07:48I nearly missed it, I think.
07:49That in slow motion would have been terrible.
07:51It might have got...
07:52It might have got halfway.
07:54Do you know, it's harder putting from massively...
07:57It really is.
07:58Because I think when your putter gets back this far,
08:00there's more to go wrong.
08:01I think that might have happened just then.
08:03It's not a shot you practice, is it?
08:04Not massively, no.
08:05Okay, well on the green.
08:06Two putt for a five, and he's in trouble, so let's go six.
08:08Yeah, I am.
08:11A zero, dear.
08:12I don't think...
08:13Not even Tiger or Rory, I don't think, would be able to...
08:15No, I'm panicking.
08:16...any time close from here.
08:17Would they?
08:18Maybe they would.
08:19They would.
08:20Come on, Tiger.
08:21The thing is, you've got this bunker in front of you,
08:22so you've got to just...
08:23Where my ball is would be a great...
08:26Shall I have a go at the flop shot?
08:27If you want to, mate, for the hashtag content.
08:29It's not sitting.
08:30I'm going to have to just...
08:31So it's your eight iron, obviously, as well.
08:33I actually just forgot about that.
08:35That is an eight iron.
08:37Right, I'm going to have to...
08:38I'm going to just try and get on the green.
08:41Anything on the green, mate, is a very impressive shot, I think.
08:46Oh, sit.
08:47Just going to have to sit down.
08:48Sit.
08:49Sit down.
08:50Got great contact out of there.
08:51Sit down.
08:52Sit down.
08:53Just rolling off the back.
08:56In the freeway putter.
08:57You know what?
08:59It could have gone a lot worse.
09:00I'm kind of not in that bunker.
09:01The key to this whole thing
09:03is staying out of these pop bunkers,
09:06so the fact that I've missed that is a good thing.
09:09I have my first little look at 17 behind me,
09:12but I need to focus on this shot.
09:15We've got the big tented village going up
09:18to the side of it.
09:19It's got lots of people watching.
09:21A bit of local radio by the sound of it, as well.
09:23A bit of local radio.
09:24I really don't want to start with a double.
09:26I need to get this nestled up nicely.
09:28Quite the ridge you've got here.
09:29I didn't realise this back pin was on a little
09:31sort of protected corner here.
09:33Right here.
09:34Talk me out of it, Dan.
09:42Oh, it's nice.
09:43Come on.
09:44Oh, it's one of them.
09:45It's one of them left.
09:46Meat left on the bone.
09:52It's racy.
09:53Settle down now.
09:54Settle down now.
09:56Oh, one of them.
09:59Go on, Dan.
10:00Still me.
10:01This for a heroic three putt.
10:0570-yard three putt.
10:07We're both playing for five here.
10:08I'd like to be first down if poss.
10:14Okay, that feels nice.
10:15That went right in the middle.
10:16Pressure applied.
10:17With pace.
10:18Pressure applied.
10:20Three with three with putt, putt, putt.
10:22I might start doing this more often.
10:24Solid down the middle.
10:25Yeah.
10:26So, show hole for you this one as well.
10:28Overcomplicate the game.
10:29Right, come on.
10:36Oh, well done.
10:37But you were hoping that I could have...
10:39No, no, no.
10:40None of that, none of that, none of that.
10:41I was willing it in.
10:42I was willing it in.
10:43Well done.
10:44Pair of fives.
10:45Right.
10:4670.
10:47On 70.
10:48Here we go.
10:54Okay, so I will grab the yardage.
10:57Okay.
10:58Given that you've played this before,
10:59you tell me what we're facing here.
11:02Well, I made it par.
11:03First time I played it.
11:05I didn't need to know that.
11:06Well, I stopped letting everybody know.
11:07That was a couple of years ago now.
11:08So, it's called Little Eye.
11:10And we've got this beautiful infinity green.
11:12And actually, I think what impressed me most
11:14the first time I came,
11:15and hopefully you can see it on camera,
11:16and you can see it here, Neil, for the first time,
11:18it's quite elevated, that green, isn't it?
11:19Yeah.
11:21Two bunkers in the way.
11:22The one on the left,
11:23there was an infamous video of a lad
11:25got stuck in there.
11:26And he was taking it out of the bunker,
11:27but it all fed back into it.
11:29What was the yardage, please?
11:30127.
11:31127.
11:32We've both got our eight iron out.
11:33And that view's just brilliant, isn't it?
11:34I love an infinity green.
11:35You don't get nothing.
11:36We missed the green here.
11:37We're completely good.
11:38All hell breaks loose if you miss the green.
11:39Okay, good.
11:40I'm really, I'm deadly serious.
11:42Long left and right.
11:43And that bunker there is the one that lad got stuck in.
11:46Okay.
11:47And made a tent.
11:48And neither of us have a sand wedge in our...
11:50No.
11:51We do, but we're not playing around.
11:52I'm using it.
11:53Okay.
11:54Okay.
11:55So that's what we've got to think about.
11:56A lot of information there.
11:57Fine.
11:58I'm just going to hit a little chippy eight iron
11:59and hope for the best.
12:00Let's go for it.
12:10It's out to the right.
12:12I don't know if it...
12:13Oh, my.
12:14It's gone right and kicked right.
12:15I reckon just by those fences,
12:16you might get a free bit of relief from the ground.
12:18That's too forward chip from over there.
12:20You might not come up on camera
12:21and there was a honk of a horn behind us on your backswing.
12:24But if you pick that one up.
12:25I'd love to say it put me off, but it didn't.
12:27That wasn't...
12:28Oh, I'll tell you what.
12:30140.
12:31This isn't...
12:32Like I said, it's not far off for me.
12:33It's just going to be a normal one, I think.
12:34Choke down on it.
12:35Nice and smooth.
12:39Uh-oh.
12:40That's heading toward the sand.
12:42Get over it.
12:43Oh, it's over it.
12:44Oh, it's...
12:45I could be on the putting surface, you know.
12:46That's all right.
12:47That could be all right.
12:48That's okay, yeah.
12:49Got away with that.
12:50I thought it was heading for the sand.
12:51But let's go...
12:52Let's go make...
12:53Watch you try and make it up and down.
12:54My next shot could be quite entertaining.
12:56This is going to be good.
12:57Stay tuned.
13:01Okay.
13:02So as you would expect,
13:03it's not a massive green
13:04because it's only a short hole.
13:06Complete tabletop.
13:08I've done really quite well here, actually.
13:10This...
13:11Of all the places to miss on this hole,
13:12this is all right, isn't it, Dan?
13:14Well, I think so
13:15because we've got this bunker to the right that's dead.
13:16These two bunkers in front that are dead.
13:18Over the back is dead.
13:19I've just got to go up the left-hand side here
13:21and hope the slope swings it back.
13:23Just get it up onto the green, please.
13:29Come on, ball.
13:32That's in a good spot.
13:33That's fine.
13:34Yeah, it took a bit of getting up there, but...
13:35It's on the green.
13:36It's on the green.
13:38Okay, so I didn't quite hold the green, unfortunately.
13:40More importantly, I'm over that bunker.
13:42As you can see, down here,
13:43if you land on one of these downslopes
13:45and the pros come and play this in a couple of weeks,
13:47they'll be dead.
13:48It's been trouble down there.
13:49Happy not to be in there.
13:50Fluffy-ish lie.
13:52And importantly, this big ridge in front of me here
13:54that I think I'm going to try and stab it into.
13:57I don't know.
13:58I just don't quite know how this ball's going to come out of here.
14:01It's a back foot, toe high in the air.
14:04See if I can get it inside.
14:05What tap has this...
14:06Tapper's got his two.
14:13Steady. Steady.
14:14Get out.
14:15It's just...
14:16It was looking all right.
14:17I just caught the bottom of it.
14:19I just knifed it.
14:20Aggressive play.
14:21It was too aggressive.
14:22It was a knife.
14:23It was poor.
14:24How nice is this, by the way?
14:26I can just stand and look out here for most of the day, to be honest.
14:29It's glorious.
14:31It's not an evil green, is it, actually?
14:32We've both got our fill putts here.
14:34I am frustrated I've not got one inside yours from there, really.
14:37But...
14:39Let's hold a putt.
14:41Put some pressure on.
14:47It never had the line, but...
14:49Good shot.
14:50Stone dead.
14:51Well done.
14:52Buggy, buggy start, Neil.
14:53That's all right.
14:54You've got a chance to take the lead here.
14:55I quite fancy this.
14:56How do you like it?
14:57Nothing.
14:58There would be no moral victory here at all if this goes in, but...
15:02But you're liking it. You're feeling it.
15:03I'm not bothered about the moral victory.
15:06Because I haven't hit a good shot yet.
15:08No, let's hold a putt.
15:09The value of a good putt.
15:10Let's hold a putt.
15:16It's a good roll.
15:17It just...
15:18Low and slow.
15:22I really fancied that as well.
15:23We're just following each other in.
15:24Nothing to separate us so far.
15:26Eighteenth to go.
15:27Big par five, so...
15:28Get that spinny three-wood out.
15:32One last look at that, Neil.
15:33It's pretty impressive, isn't it?
15:35Yeah, seriously nice.
15:41Okay, Dan.
15:42Eighteenth hole here at Royal Liverpool.
15:44Four, six, five off this team.
15:46We've been playing with an awful...
15:47It's been a much longer race.
15:48Yeah.
15:49Just up in these bunkers, we've been looking at landings.
15:50Two, two, one was the first one.
15:51Two, three, three is that second one you can see.
15:53So, in the area.
15:54You can see through the camera.
15:55Imagine that grandstand full on a day like today.
15:59Great view.
16:00It's going to look amazing, isn't it?
16:02Anyway, forget about that.
16:03Hybrid, isn't it?
16:04I reckon hybrid.
16:05And I reckon hit it quite well.
16:12Oh, it's a nice strike, Neil.
16:13Much better.
16:14Much better.
16:15I think I might need to get a lie over there.
16:17Yeah, agreed.
16:18It could be on...
16:19It's sort of on a bit of a...
16:21A bit of a humpy bit where the range is bordered.
16:23Which is normally over there.
16:24So, you know.
16:25Good luck with that.
16:26It's not my plan, is it?
16:27It's not my plan.
16:28We'll find out when we get there, I think.
16:29Right.
16:30A couple more three-woods home for me, I think, Neil.
16:32Yeah.
16:33How high can I get this one?
16:35There is no wind now.
16:37This is a gorgeous evening.
16:38But if anything, it's off my back off the left.
16:40So...
16:42Oh, gosh.
16:43The traps are just calling for my name.
16:46Calling for my golf ball.
16:47Come on, let's keep it on the straight and narrow again.
16:49That's the key on this.
16:55That's...
16:56Oh, please cut.
16:57That's right all over where yours is.
16:59Come on.
17:02Over that thing.
17:03I think it's alright.
17:04Bouncing.
17:05I think that's okay.
17:06It just depends on...
17:07Well, we'll see.
17:08We'll see when we get up there.
17:09We'll see.
17:10Just a quick thing.
17:11A massive thank you to our friends at Nikon for giving us the chance to play today.
17:15So it's through their sponsorship of the Open Championship that we've been given access
17:18to the course.
17:19They've given me a Nikon Coolshot 50i laser rangefinder to use.
17:24Dan, what have you had?
17:25Pro 2 stabiliser, which I've been very impressed with.
17:27It sort of found the pins for me today when I finally got in range.
17:30I think you're quite used to struggling to get the yard.
17:32Yeah, yeah.
17:33In a bit of wind or if you're a bit shaky or something, you keep getting the pin on
17:36the flat.
17:37This thing literally just found it for me a couple of times today.
17:39It sort of works out where it is for you and it makes it pretty easy, pretty quick.
17:43I think you've got a golf course where it's very flat and it's quite hard to pick it out.
17:48Having that sort of bit of technology is really nice.
17:50Yeah.
17:51I've always been a rangefinder guy anyway because I like zapping bunkers or dog legs
17:54or what's that over there, you know, which you might not get on some of the devices.
17:57So I've been impressed with it, really have.
17:59So yeah, big thanks to Nikon.
18:03Okay, right.
18:04I suggest I got quite lucky here.
18:05It was a white out of bounds line here.
18:07This is all the practice area normally and I was very close going out.
18:10I reckon I've hit this upslope and dropped into here.
18:15I think Neil's in a very similar spot, so he'll be above the feet.
18:18I'm way below the feet here.
18:20Didn't really contemplate getting the three wood out.
18:22I'm just going to try and knock it up this bit of fairway here and hope for the best.
18:25I don't think I've ever quite had a shot this below my feet before.
18:29Let's see how we get on.
18:31Oh gosh.
18:33Let's just try and get this going forward.
18:38Oh, I'm quite pleased with that, if I may say so.
18:41Come on, keep running ball.
18:44That is a hell of a shot.
18:45Thank you very much.
18:47I mean, that was so below my feet.
18:49I mean, you've got to do the same now.
18:50I can just see yours.
18:52Before we get any letters, I am in bounds.
18:57Yeah, there's at least there's inch to spare, an inch to spare.
19:02But I'm in bounds.
19:03The question is, how much can I...
19:05How brave am I with this?
19:07Are you seeing like cutting off that corner at all?
19:09Yeah, because if I cut the corner off, I reckon I can get there for three.
19:12Yeah, if you fall short, you're out of bounds.
19:14But if I go for it, then don't strike it, because don't forget my ball is...
19:18So, yeah, surely he's got it lined up for you.
19:20I'm going to aim it at that.
19:21There's a little post sticking up in the fairway.
19:22I'm going to aim it at that.
19:24What a shot.
19:25That was bold and brave.
19:26It really was.
19:27Right, fairway in now.
19:29I left myself a little more than I wanted.
19:32I was impressed about the full swing by the way, weren't I?
19:35Yeah, I'm lucky with my drive, no?
19:37I could have gone out of bounds, Neil.
19:39So maybe, you know.
19:40So I've got 250.
19:45250.
19:46250.
19:47Yeah.
19:48So I've got 250.
19:53252.
19:54Okay, so that wind is still helping, but it's going to be a hybrid.
19:57Yeah, it's going to be a hybrid.
19:58Hopefully leave myself with an impossible chip with an A-time.
20:01That's what I'm thinking.
20:02I'll be short-sighted maybe, you know, on a really tight lie.
20:04I'm going to aim towards the left.
20:07Up the left and maybe fade one.
20:13Oh, my.
20:14Go.
20:15It's got to go.
20:16It's gone a bit right.
20:17It's gone off to the right, isn't it?
20:18But.
20:19Yeah.
20:20I was bouncing.
20:21And look where the pin is.
20:22You've got a lot of green to work with.
20:23I've hit that further right than I wanted to, but I really hit that well.
20:25I don't mind it, Neil.
20:26I think we're in a good spot there, mate.
20:29So laser sink 218.
20:31Oh, that's a nice little three wood for me.
20:34I think.
20:35A little floaty one as you've seen I've been hitting all day.
20:37You've got that shot.
20:38I think I've really got that shot.
20:40I'm going to start it on those right bunkers.
20:43And I think it just feeds.
20:44It's a great five.
20:46Approaching the green.
20:47You're short right, I think.
20:48Yeah.
20:49I mean, it could be absolutely anything.
20:51It's just a nice floaty three wood, I think.
21:02Oh, that's a good shot.
21:03Come on.
21:04Hold your line.
21:05Be good.
21:06Get up.
21:07Oh.
21:08I've given it the old be good.
21:09It was probably about 20 yards short.
21:10We've got issues, team.
21:12We have issues.
21:13That's in a bunker, isn't it?
21:14That's in a bunker.
21:16I did not think I was going to get here.
21:18Well, you just said you wanted to see me play a bunker shot with an 8-iron.
21:21We're seeing you first.
21:22That is the 8-iron.
21:23That is the 8-iron.
21:24That is the 8-iron.
21:25And we've got a lot of green to work with.
21:27You've got a nice line.
21:28We'll see mine in a minute.
21:29It's in trouble.
21:30It's a little chunky.
21:31Chunk it out of there and run it.
21:32Look at all that green you've got to work with.
21:36That's it.
21:37Oh, if that sits and spins.
21:38I don't know why it was going to spin.
21:40Oh, it's gone.
21:41It's only just dropped off the bat, though.
21:43You'll be putting.
21:45It's out of there.
21:46It's not too bad, is it?
21:47I like it.
21:48Well done.
21:49I think two putt from there for six.
21:50How bad is yours?
21:51Oh, it's in big trouble.
21:53This is what I mean by trouble, Neil.
21:55Up against the face.
21:57I mean, if I had my 60-degree wedge with me, I wouldn't be advancing it much further than this.
22:02Which way are you going?
22:03I'm going to go for it.
22:04I mean, honestly, I feel like I could come out here.
22:08That's another bunker.
22:09You can pop it on here, do you reckon?
22:12Oh, gosh.
22:13This isn't stuff of nightmares.
22:17Oh, no.
22:18Back in it.
22:19That's a better line in, though.
22:21Still make up and down.
22:23Do what you did a minute ago, I think, and just chunk one a little bit.
22:30Oh, come on.
22:31That's well planned.
22:32Hey, we've got a putt for it.
22:33We've got a putt for it.
22:34Right, I'm here for four?
22:35I think I'm here for four.
22:36Yeah, putt in for five, mate.
22:37So, some far.
22:39Two putts might do it for you.
22:41Come on.
22:42Lock it in.
22:43Imagine that.
22:44Costantino rocker moment.
22:48Oh, it's not even close.
22:49It's got to be hip to go in, I'm afraid.
22:53All right, then.
22:54So, what's this for?
22:55We're both putting for six.
22:56Okay.
22:57So, are we all just going to have three bogeys each again and walk up?
23:01We kind of went out of bounds.
23:04And yet, still struggling.
23:06Still struggling.
23:07But, after my successful eight iron, if I can make up and down with that eight iron,
23:12out of the bunker on the 18th at Royal Liverpool.
23:16Come on, Dan.
23:19Low.
23:20Oh, get it there, man.
23:22I just had a go at you for being a bit weak.
23:24I've not even got my bogey putt there.
23:26Seven in.
23:27So, I've got this to win?
23:28You've got this to win.
23:29On the 18th.
23:30Come on.
23:31At Royal Liverpool.
23:33Come on.
23:34Good luck, Neil.
23:35Thank you.
23:38No.
23:39I was centre from the moment it left your face.
23:42Sorry, mate.
23:43Well done.
23:44They deserved that.
23:45It was a good six on there, I think.
23:46A very enjoyable knock.
23:47Didn't play our best, it's fair to say.
23:49No, it wasn't our best, but we had three golf clubs.
23:51We can't be expected to really knock it around.
23:54No.
23:55So, there you have it.
23:56That's our look at Royal Liverpool Golf Club ahead of the 2023 Open Championship.
24:01What a place.
24:02What a golf course it is shaping up to be.
24:04Absolutely fantastic.
