[intriguing music playing]
[reporter] We're talking golf for the Paris Olympics.
Scottie Scheffler, he's number one in qualifying right now.
Now the reigning U.S. Open champ, Wyndham Clark,
he's also right in the mix to make the US Team.
Plenty of golf…
Growing up in a household that loves sports,
the Olympics was a big part of our life when it was on.
Winter or summer, we were watching.
As a little kid, you watch the biggest athletes in the world,
Jordan and Kobe, and, you know, these guys,
you know, being on some of those dream teams,
you see them represent the flag.
And, you know, they're going over there essentially for free,
but they want to do it to represent their country.
It makes you, as a young kid, go, you know, "I want to be there someday."
-[man] Nice. And, uh, hand in pocket. -[camera beeping]
Both arms crossed. Nice.
Your arms are crossed for us. Nice.
[Rapaport] The Olympics is gaining more importance in golf.
This year, all the guys who are in the mix have said they want to go play.
There's no way around making this team other than really good golf.
[Dethier] And Wyndham Clark is right on the cusp.
[commentator] The champion of the U.S. Open, Wyndham Clark.
[Dethier] But the US Team has a lot of top players and a ton of competition.
The only country that's nearly as competitive is Australia.
The Olympics, it is a pinnacle for a lot of athletes back home in Australia.
[Rapaport] They've had great champions in their history.
Guys like Adam Scott and Jason Day.
Min Woo Lee is the 25-year-old who's expected to take that leap this year.
[commentator] Leading up to the flag!
In for eagle!
[commentator 2] Are you not entertained?
[Rapaport] Min Woo's a really exciting prospect. He's got a lot of aura.
He's got a massive following on social media.
[Min Woo] There's a lot of pressures on playing well
from talking more than normal on social media.
[Koyack] Especially because his sister, Minjee Lee,
is an incredible superstar out on the LPGA Tour.
But how special would it be to play in an Olympics
representing your country alongside your sister?
[Rapaport] No one's guaranteed anything. You gotta earn your way.
I'm hoping I can go and represent my country on that podium.
Representing Australia would be incredible.
Probably the biggest achievement in my life.
[dramatic music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
[Min Woo]This year, being in America has been very crazy and surreal-feeling.
Hey, Min Woo.
Obviously, getting on Netflix, uh, is pretty cool.
Um…
Uh, I think if I was kind of boring, I wouldn't be here.
[man] In terms of style, is there someone in the history of golf who you like?
Tiger back in the days.
You know, he had the long… the long shirts,
and he looked kind of… he looked kind of swaggy back then.
So I try to make myself look as stylish as possible,
and I just think if you look in the mirror and feel good, hopefully you play well.
[man] Yeah, looking good.
That little chain, it's like Tiger used to wear.
[man 2] New profile page.
[Stephen] I met your sister first,
and she said you're really good at social media stuff.
-Oh, yeah. -Really good at that.
Well, yeah, we're like… we're completely opposites.
Like, I got social media. She doesn't have social media.
I mean, she could be a lot more social on a social media account, for sure.
'Cause she posts like once… She posts like ten times a year. Like…
I post like ten times a month.
-I post ten times a day. -I post too much. Yeah.

[Min Woo] I love social media.
I have just cracked 600,000 followers on Instagram.
I try to be as real and honest on social media.
I guess people like that.
I like to make people laugh and have fun
and know I make a lot of people happy and a lot of people motivated.
[chanting] Let him cook! Let him cook!
[Min Woo] It was just like a meme on Instagram,
and someone commented, "Just let him cook."
So then I put it in a caption, and now everyone just started saying it.
-And it's just popped off. -[man] Let that man cook!
Do you actually cook? I'm like, "No, I'm not a great chef."
[commentator] He's cooking. And he's got the thunderclap going as well.
[Balionis] I think Min Woo Lee is every Gen Zer,
so he is so much more relatable than maybe what most people think of
when they think of a professional golfer,
conservative, quiet, introverted.
Min Woo Lee is not that guy,
and fans have absolutely fallen in love with this kid.
And everyone's just kind of waiting for him to break through
so that he can be taken to even a higher level.
[Min Woo] It's amazing to have people support at places that I don't expect.
[boy] Oh yes! Yes!
[laughs]
[Min Woo] It's a big part of why I play,
and every time I post a video just before a tournament,
I'm like, "Shit, I gotta play good."

[Min Woo] Um, you know, I had a couple weeks off,
and, uh, it was a bit too far
to go back to Australia, so come over here to Vegas.
And my sister's in town, and I can go and support her.
A bit of a crowd.
[Gracie] Yeah.
[Min Woo] She's playing today.
-To see her play good golf is cool. -[Gracie] Yeah.
[high-pitched] Let her cook, mate! Let her cook!
[Min Woo] She doesn't show emotion. She just gets on with her work.
She doesn't really mess around too much, unlike me. I'm the opposite.
I want the whole world to know what I'm doing, so…
Something to learn off her too.
There you go.
Even though Min Woo Lee is this good golfer in his own right,
his older sister, Minjee, she has that on lock.
Two-time Major winner.
She has accomplished more than he has to date,
and I think he's got some little-brother syndrome about that.
My sister's pretty good at golf, and she wins LPGA tournaments a lot.
I think my success was pressure,
but also like motivation
because he didn't really want to be in my shadow, I think.
[Wilson] Unlike Min Woo, Minjee is a lock for the Australian team.
They could be the first sibling pair to ever compete in the Olympics in golf.
But only if Min Woo has an amazing season.
[Min Woo] You want this moved, Min?
When I was ten to fifteen,
I was just a younger brother, and she was the older sister.
I'd annoy the crap out of her,
and she would never really want me close during practice.
[Minjee] We were always around golf, and my parents all played.
Mom used to coach, and my dad was a single handicapper.
So they both had really hard work ethics.
Min Woo was quitting golf every couple months,
and my personality is much different from Min Woo.
So Min Woo was always kind of like the jokester.
And he'd like to muck around.
[Min Woo] Nice. Keep going. Wear the gloves.
-[man] You see that one? -[Min Woo] No.
"Lee is a head case. Lots of talent, but his focus is lacking."
"Who cares? He's a TikTok golfer. Average on tour, at best."
-[Gracie] What did they say? -[Min Woo] Who knows? It's shit.
[poignant music playing]
[Min Woo] People are gonna just say I'm a social media guy.
Yeah, it kind of makes me mad.
[Gracie] Who cares? Am I right?
[Min Woo] Min cares.
You can get dragged into it, and it can hurt your feelings, I guess.
But I try to not let that affect me as much.
[Gracie] People are gonna say what they want,
but it becomes less of an insecurity when you talk about it.
No.
[Gracie] And I'm sure there is a bit of added pressure to it,
but I wouldn't say pressure is a bad thing either.
It helps you to perform.
The best thing you can do is just be there for them,
and if there's something wrong, you will figure it out.
Minjee has accomplished so much,
and Min really looks up to her for that success as well.
[Min Woo] I think that's good to try to live up to her standards,
but I'm not quite there yet.
So hopefully in the future, I can.
Yeah, I'm gonna look forward to that moment.
[John] All right, you ready for this little whupping?
I don't think you could hang with the bright lights, kid.
I don't think you can either.
♪ Gosh bless America ♪
[man] All right, Wyndham, Full Swing season three.
What's changed in your life since season two?
Um…
Let's see. I, uh… People know who I am a lot more.
I've never really been part of reality TV, and now it's becoming a reality for me.
But, you know, the show's done so much good for getting my story out there.
Honestly, it's amazing the amount of love that I've gotten from that.
Oh boy.
-[John] God, that's a bummer. -God dang it.
[John] When he first came to college, he was this so-called hotshot kid
who, um, lost his mom and kind of lost his way.
You know, he was supposed to be the next big thing,
and this talent was wasted because of his attitude,
how he handled certain things.
He expected to be what he is today, one of the best players in the world.
I mean, the greatest compliment in golf right now
is being compared to Scottie Scheffler.
You just gotta tip your cap, and it makes me better,
makes me have to play better, makes me more motivated.
Now we just gotta clip him.
Yeah, I can't wait till we finish first, and he finishes second.
-I can't wait to say, "How does it feel?" -[Wyndham] Yeah.
[man laughs]
[dramatic music playing]
[Rapaport] Clark came out of nowhere.
It was like the guy hadn't won a tournament in five years,
and then he's one of the best players in the world, wins a Major championship.
[crowd applauding, cheering]
[commentator] It's all up to Wyndham Clark,
who takes down all the stars in Los Angeles
to win the United States Open!
[Rapaport] Anytime someone wins a Major for the first time,
you're wondering, "Is this an aberration?"
But Wyndham is showing us here
that maybe it wasn't winning a Major that was an aberration.
It was the five years before.
And this is kind of the guy who he is now.
He's made changes in his life where he feels like he can sustain this level.
[Wyndham] What's up?
[man] There it is, Mark. Hello.
[Mark] There we go.
Is that Wyndham Clark?
What up, bro? Good to see you.
-I'm doing good. -Great finish.
When you are trying to become a professional golfer,
you never think you'd be working with a celebrity,
and someone especially like Mark Wahlberg.
I grew up watching his movies.
Working on this brand together, which is super cool…
[Mark] When I saw Wyndham on the show,
I wanted to call and commend him
for the way he was really opening up to people.
I thought he really touched me in a way
where it's like he's gonna motivate and inspire a lot of people
to overcome things that have been holding them back
from achieving their full potential.
Just to see the way he conducted himself,
with the maturity and the grace that he did it,
opening up with the struggles that he's had,
I thought that is the kind of thing that moves the needle for other people.
Where are they playing, uh, in Paris?
Uh, Le National, where they played the…
Club du golf. Club du golf.
Yeah, it'd be fun.
[Mark] To see him skyrocketing as a star and as a man,
it was, uh… it was very impressive.
Gold medal. He gets a gold medal.
All right, done. Hey, I'm gonna… We have cameras.
[Wilson] Wyndham Clark is living the life right now.
He's signed to a major clothing label.
He's hanging out with celebrities.
But golf is a fickle game,
and if you take your eye off the ball, your game can disappear like that.
[Wyndham] All right, see you, Mark.
[Mark] Don, be good, kid.
[Balionis] We all know that making an Olympic team is incredibly difficult,
but one of the ways I think these players can prove to themselves
that they're ready is by performing really well
on some of the biggest stages like THE PLAYERS Championship.
[Min Woo] I was eating breakfast with Rory,
and he was saying that he hit balls for five hours.
He said three hours in right to left and two hours in left to right.
[Rapaport] You get into the Olympics through the world ranking system.
So there'll be four Americans there
and then two players from all the other countries that typically produce golfers.
Right now, some teams are already locked,
like Ireland with Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry.
But for the Americans, you have Scottie Scheffler,
Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, and Wyndham Clark
fighting with Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Cantlay, amongst others.
For the Australians, Jason Day is a lock,
so Min Woo is battling with Cam Davis and Cam Smith
for the last spot on the team.
The way the points are set up, if someone can get a good result here,
it will shoot them up the rankings and put them in pole position for Paris.
-[Min Woo] That's the hat I used to wear. -Imperial?
-Yeah, I think so. Yeah, but like the… -The high…
-The high crown. -It adds an extra inch on me.
-Yeah. -I look taller than what I am.
I'm hiding some height in there. [chuckles]
[Min Woo] Jason Day, he's put me under his wing, actually.
When I was 16 or 17, I had a tournament at a junior invitational,
and, uh, he was a guest speaker.
We ended up having a long drive comp,
and all the juniors next to me were like, "Oh, Min Woo, you should do it."
'Cause I was one of the longest out there. And he hit first, and he hit it…
I don't know, maybe like 280, 290 yards.
And then I stepped up with his driver and, uh, smoked it.
[crowd] Ooh!
[Min Woo] As soon as I hit it, all the boys were like, "Oh!"
Like they knew it was past his.
He's a little string bean there, but look at the power.
If I did that now, I'd break my back in half.
But for him to be able to do that, it was just unbelievable.
[Jason] I think that's by me, eh?
[overlapping chatter]
-[Jason] Yeah, that's crushed me. -[applause]
[Jason] Look at him.
He's a little cocky there. [laughs]
He was walking off like high-fiving someone, it looked like.
But I felt that golf was moving too fast for me watching him hit it, a driver.
[laughs]
[Min Woo] Jason's special.
If I need help with something, he's always there.
I want to be like him, so I still have some similarities
that I've copied and followed him.
I see a lot of myself in him, and I think he sees him in me.
[Jason] You know, I told him, "You've got all the key attributes
to become number one."
"You just gotta make a lifestyle change and, like, say this is… this is golf,
and this is serious, and this is what you're trying to accomplish
'cause you definitely have the X-factor stuff
that you need to be the best.
[thwack]
[commentator] Another beautiful day in Northeast Florida.
TPC Sawgrass, perfect setting for the final round
of THE PLAYERS Championship.
[Wyndham] I've always wanted to play well at THE PLAYERS.
I have not traditionally done very well at the golf course.
[commentator] Forty-five weeks ago,
Wyndham Clark was a good player with talent
who you wondered, "When was he gonna break through and win?"
The U.S. Open champ is dialed in right now.
[gasps]
-[crowd] Oh! -[commentator] Oh!
Wow, that was so close.
[suspenseful music playing]
[commentator] What's Min Woo Lee gonna do?
Oh my.
Ugh.
[commentator] I don't know, but my back just hurt from watching that.
[commentator 2] He's gonna be a long way back.
[man] Oh!
[commentator 3] You're probably disappointed you let that opportunity go.
[commentator] You kind of get careless, don't pay attention.
[commentator 2] Now you just wanna just… "Okay, get me to the clubhouse."
[crowd] Oh.
[commentator 2] Just hadn't been there this week.
[man] Unlucky.
-That's fucked up. That's fucked up. -[woman] It's sad.
[Min Woo] When I play bad, it is tough.
There's gonna be times when you might be back against the wall,
but I still got a bit of time to make this deadline,
and hopefully I can recover.
Don't shoot now.
[man] No, all right.
[cheering and applause]
[commentator] As we send you back to 17…
And Clark hit it in the water here yesterday.
Come on, baby.
Two back. Can't hold back. Gotta go right at them.
-Okay, here we go. -Stable. All right.
[crowd clamoring]
Just drop. Drop, drop, drop, drop.
-[commentator] And it's a good shot. -[applause]
[commentator] It's gonna get a little… It's gonna get better and better!
Whoo! Let's go, Wyndham!
[commentator] And Wyndham Clark has a chance on AT&T…
-A really good spot. -He's got it now. Come on, Harry!
[commentator] So he has an opportunity to tie for the lead.
Birdie at 18 to tie Scottie.
[Wyndham] I've always felt and feared the bad things that are gonna happen
more than believing the good things are,
and so I felt like I've changed in that direction,
where I've gotten more and more belief that I can win.
At the palm trees, and it kind of feeds down and to the left.
-All right. -Do I need to draw it?
-I wouldn't mind it. -Okay.
[John] All right.
[commentator] Clark needs a birdie.
I think he loves it.
Leg kick.
[crowd cheering]
[applause]
[commentator] Can Clark make his third straight birdie
and send this to a playoff?
[suspenseful music playing]
[commentator] Make, he's in a playoff.
Miss, and Scheffler makes history.
[music drops]
[commentator] Unbelievable!
How did that not drop?
[crowd clamoring]
God.
Take that.
Oh my gosh.
-It's okay. -Ah. It's okay, Wyndham.
[clapping]
-[woman] Did that just bounce off? -[woman 2] It lipped out.
That's okay.
It's okay.
Uh, it's okay. Don't be sad. Don't be sad. Don't be sad. Don't be sad.
-Ugh, so… -Ugh!
-I still might pass out though. -[chuckles]
Sheesh! I'm gonna have to get my heart checked.
[somber music playing]
[Wyndham] I don't know if I've been this heartbroken in golf.
I was playing good all week
and felt like it was gonna be a special week.
I'm still just kind of beside myself that it didn't go in.
For these guys, second place is never good enough.
But still, it's a big showing for Wyndham,
and he's in great position to make the US Team.
For Min Woo, this didn't do him any big favors,
and so there's more pressure on him to step up at the next big event,
the Masters.
[Gracie] Uh, Min's first year, it's been a roller coaster.
It's definitely not as glamorous as it looks.
You're flying everywhere and you're discovering new places and new cities,
but I'm still living out of a suitcase.
So…
[sighs] You still don't really have, like, a base here.
You're just traveling and staying with friends and stuff.
Fresh for next year. Where do you want to live?
A place like Vegas, but Florida's a pretty big attraction.
But I got friends both places, so it might be a last-minute decision.
There's a lot of Aussies that live in Florida though.
Yeah, obviously, Cam's… Cam Smith's over there in Sawgrass, and
I mean, lot of players are over there. Tiger, JT.
But, um, speaking of JT, he's right there walking his dog.
-JT. -How's it going?
[Min Woo] Just trying to be you.
We were just talking about Florida, and we were saying who is in Florida.
-And I was like, "You and everyone else." -[Justin] Yeah.
-Where are you based out of? -[Min Woo] Australia still, so, um…
[Gracie] Just trying to pick somewhere to live.
[Min Woo] Just trying to talk about where to go.
Come to Florida, man. The summers are hot everywhere.
-But we're traveling so much… -Yeah. Doesn't really matter.
-Um… -[Min Woo] Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, I love it, obviously.
[Min Woo] Cool. I'll think about it.
-Sweet. All right. -[Gracie] So many choices.
-Nice to meet you. -[Min Woo] Happy walking.
-[woman] Ready? -[Wyndham] Yeah.
-Okay, we're gonna shoot it here. -Okay.
So I remember Wyndham when he was this tall, full face of braces.
-Jeez, now you're embarrassing me. -[laughs]
Most people don't know this. We're both from Colorado.
We grew up playing junior golf together, and now we're here.
How do you prepare yourself for going into an event
where you know you're feeling a little bit more anxious than normal?
Um, well, the biggest thing is I always go back to process.
The actual doing of it rather than the outcome.
You know, for me, lately, I have gotten a little too much into outcome focus.
Recently, we've switched it back to the process, and I started playing good.
And so all I focus on is perfecting that process
and let the outcome take care of itself.
[Paige] He was always going to be one of the best.
Now he has to deal with all the pressure of people looking at him
and having to compete week in, week out
and being one of the top guys.
Do you still get nervous on the first tee?
I… Yeah, I mean, I do.
I have those first tee jitters.
You kind of hit the first shot, and then you get to the green and…
But the great thing is that,
as I've gotten better and more comfortable out here,
it kind of goes away sooner.
-Yeah, so that's how you win a U.S. Open. -[Wyndham] Yeah.
-[Paige] When you hit it like that. -Yeah, it's kind of nice.
-[Paige laughs] You hit it where you want. -Golf can be fun.
[Paige] Yeah, it must be really nice.
[emotional music playing]
See you, Dad.
[Min Woo] Being in the Olympics would be very special.
We all want to be gold medalists,
but there's gonna be pressures about making this team.
And whoever comes out on top will be very worthy.
So it's gonna be tough.
I gotta keep playing well, and, uh, hopefully I… I do make that team.
[man] Fore!
[commentator] And he's in the thick stuff, just off the path.
Wyndham Clark, debuting in the Masters, already with a Major to his credit.
That is rare.
[commentator 2] That's one that'll keep you up at night.
[commentator 3] Back to Min Woo Lee. Come on.
[crowd] Aw.
[commentator] Birdie to join the group at six over.
[suspenseful music playing]
And wow.
Did he get a dose of Augusta National?
[commentator 2] And that's a wrap here at the Masters.
[suspenseful music continues]
[Min Woo] Yeah, that early start was embarrassing.
I wanted to be in a ball, eh?
-[man] Oh well. -[man] It's a lot though.
-Yeah. -Yep.
-Mm-hmm. -No, it's good you fought back.
-Just head home? -Yeah.
[Dethier] Min Woo played well,
but he still finished behind his fellow Australians,
which means he's got more work to do the rest of the year.
[commentator] I know he hasn't shown it, but I think this is a future star.
Just hit it through the break there.
[suspenseful music continues]
[commentator 2] He's got more rough to deal with.
[commentator 3] Wow, that's bad.
[Rapaport] For Wyndham Clark, who had seemed like an Olympic lock,
he's now in a downward spiral. All bets are off.
[commentator scoffs] Oh boy. That's… that's disaster.
-[overlapping chatter] -[Min Woo] What's up, boys?
-How's it going? You good? -How you doing? Good to see you.
-What's up, man? -Hi, man.
What's up, brother? Good to see you. How we doing?
-Are you down to do a two-v-five scramble? -[man] You down?
-You and Brad. -You and Brad versus the rest of us.
[Min Woo] Yeah, I was thinking one-v-six, but it's all good, boys.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
We got Min the man. Let him cook.
-Woo-hoo! -[man 2] One-ninety-eight?
[Min Woo laughs]
-[man] Wait. Do you hit the gym? -[Min Woo] Just built different.
-[man] Whoo! -[man 2] Scary.
[man] It's different watching it from over here.
-[man 3] That's my miss. -[chuckling]
[Min Woo] I think it's nice just to be able to keep golf as fun as possible.
-[man] Right here, Min. Come on, Minny. -[man 2] Let him cook!
You might find out not to trash-talk me, but that's all good.
[Min Woo] People that really know me, I'm not the hardest-working person.
And yeah, I can work a bit harder.
Damn. That was… That hurt.
But I like to have a lot of fun,
so it's not all about grinding your ass off
and trying to overwork it, you know. Unlike my sister.
She used to just hit balls and balls, and that's how she operates.
I just get bored after…
I get bored really quick, so I like to, like, have fun.
-[Min Woo] Ooh! -[man gasps]
-Hey, Full Swing. How we doing? -[Min Woo] Oh my God.
You want a lesson on how to lose your driver,
this would be the way, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you guys for tuning in.
Wow, Garrett!
-You snapped it clean off, man! -Oh my.
-The driver skipped sweet! -I know. It's just floating.
I'm gonna go get the head. The head's still good.
[Min Woo] You got another?
[laughs]
[man] He said, "Just use the back."
Just the tip, bro.
[Min Woo] Oh.
Hey, that's some great stuff right there.
[man laughs]
[Min Woo] This is what we live for, right here. This is why we practice.
No way. That's terrible.
It's a terrible putt!
I mean, there was hardships when I turned pro.
In a way, I've, like, kind of got kicked back a little bit,
but I've rebounded well all the time.
-[man] Love that. -Come on. Come on.
-Two under. -[man] Love that.
[man 2] There's been so many horror stories
of people who are more like you,
but then they feel like they have to be someone different once they turn pro.
Then they start grinding when that's not what makes them a better golfer.
[Min Woo] There's gotta be a good balance of having that work ethic
and having that robot type, but also having a lot of fun.
I'm probably a little bit more too much on the fun side.
But I'm still trying to learn that, so I need to start doing the right stuff.
It's close to being good.
[man] Min Woo.
-Next time. -Next time.
-We should've had that one. -[Min Woo] Close.
-G. Freaking Bubbie. -It was an anomaly.
[dramatic music playing]
[commentator] Nothing like it.
From Pinehurst, the U.S. Open is about to get underway.
I've had pressures for the last, you know few months
having Olympics on my radar.
A lot of these other Australians are playing great golf,
so I need to make some points up.
[Jason] He is not shying away from being in the spotlight,
and he's got all the confidence in the world.
[Dethier] Do you feel you play better when you're high-energy
or when you're loose and calm?
I mean, you see me out there.
I do like to have fun, but trying to be serious is not my thing.
So, um, I think when I need to, I will.
I need to have that mindset of, you know, let's focus.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Wyndham] It's an opportunity I'm hoping I take advantage of.
I just know what I expect of me, and I'll let everything else take care of itself.
See you in a week.
[Rapaport] The U.S. Open is these guys' last chance
to try and qualify for the Olympics.
For Min Woo, he has to finish above Cam Davis and Cam Smith
in order to make it to Paris. That's the only way it happens.
Meanwhile, Wyndham Clark has to put on a decent performance
and hope Patrick Cantlay doesn't win this thing.
[chanting] USA! USA!
[Rapaport] Give Cantlay an inch,
and Wyndham's kicked off the flight to Paris.
[commentator] Wyndham Clark… comes in with not a lot of confidence.
Talked about the need to just try to gain some momentum.
[commentator 2] This would shake out the nerve a little.
[commentator] Or bring them on.
[Min Woo] There's a lot of great players, and we're all trying to fight for a spot.
[commentator] Let him cook.
-[cheering and applause] -[commentator 2] He's cooking, all right.
[Min Woo] But I know whoever gets in is gonna be worthy of,
you know, representing our country.
[commentator 3] A shame for Cam and a dropped shot.
[commentator] People were thinking Cam Smith would play well this week.
[commentator 2] Because of his short game and his putting.
Man, can he putt.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Min Woo] This is one of the most pressure-packed situations.
You do not want to miss a putt,
hit a bad shot.
[commentator 2] What a huge error there for Patrick Cantlay.
[Min Woo] It's tough. It's not easy to just win tournaments.
[commentator 2] Wyndham Clark coming off of three straight bogeys.
[Min Woo] And if I don't play well, someone can overtake me,
so you just gotta play well when you get the opportunity.
[commentator] Patrick Cantlay heading to the weekend at a U.S. Open
for the first time.
[commentator 2] Especially here at Pinehurst,
you've gotta kind of stay in touch.
[Alicia] I'm excited for today. I think today will be great.
Like anything else, like when you don't know what to expect,
sometimes in something like this… it makes me maybe a little less nervous
'cause you're like, "Well, I don't know." You just kind of go for it.
This is something you've dreamed about. I know you have.
At least I feel like I, mentally, am in the right place
to give myself the best chance, so I just gotta do my job.
But it is exciting.
Going into the final round, the Olympic teams are a toss-up.
If Patrick Cantlay wins the tournament, Wyndham Clark's Olympic dreams are over.
For Min Woo Lee and Cam Smith, they're neck and neck.
So whoever comes out ahead, they're going to Paris.
So it's a one-round shootout to find out who grabs that last spot
on the Australian and the American teams.
[man] Whoo!
Oh. Oh, he hates it.
-Oh. -[applause]
It's pretty good.
[commentator 3] Okay, so Cam Smith from out of the pines there
left with ten.
Well, there's a bit of wizardry. Look at that shot.
-[commentator 4] Are you surprised? -[commentator 3] Not at all.
[commentator] This for birdie. Cam Smith at ten.
Would've been an all-world birdie.
-[Gracie] Come on. -[Minjee] Get in.
[crowd] Oh!
-[Minjee] Did it lip out? -[Gracie] No.
[commentator] My God, he got this thing knuckling and cutting.
[commentator 2] Wow, that sounded like a splat in the face.
Yeah, nice shot.
[cheering and applause]
[commentator 3] Green-wide hole location, front right.
Really good.
[commentator 4] For birdie.
[crowd] Aw.
[man] Oh my gosh.
[Minjee] It is difficult when you're not doing as well on the golf course,
but I think that is why you have the people who can lift you up.
At times, it will be hard,
but we all know how much hard work and effort has gone into playing well.
[commentator] Ouch.
[Minjee] So we both understand each other in that moment…
Nice shot.
…through all the good and the bad times.
[commentator] Min Woo Lee has to make this putt to make it to Paris.
Come on, Min.
[Minjee] I'm just super proud of him that he's able to dig deep,
and I think it's head down, bum up, and just do the work.
[suspenseful music plays]
-[cheering] -Yeah.
[uplifting music playing]
[Minjee] Let's go.
It's really great for me to see him living out the dream
that he's always wanted,
to get into the Olympics.
[suspenseful music playing]
[commentator] The defending champion, Wyndham Clark.
[commentator 2] This peeling left.
That's bunker.
[commentator] He's not been on top of his game. He knows it.
He has admitted it early in the week.
He said, "Hey, look, if I made the cut, that would be a momentum boost
compared to how I've been playing the last few weeks."
[Wyndham] I just feel so bummed that I just didn't play my best
'cause I thought this week I could do something special,
and it just, you know… it is what it is, I guess.
There's nothing worse than watching your fate
versus being able to control it.
So sitting there watching it and going,
"We really don't want Patrick to win this."
[dramatic music playing]
[commentator] Now Cantlay.
[commentator 2] That was pretty darn good.
[cheering]
[commentator] A putter like Patrick Cantlay,
I kind of expect this to end up in the bottom of the cup as well, Brandel.
[commentator 2] Another good-looking putt, and Cantlay drops it home!
And the threesome of McIlroy, DeChambeau, and Cantlay
have separated themselves from the rest of the field.
[commentator] Pulled it just to the left.
Wow. That's a poor iron shot.
[Wilson] All of Wyndham's hopes rest on Patrick Cantlay not making this putt.
[commentator] First time in his career, he's been in the mix on Sunday at a Major.
[commentator 2] You would think he has to have this to stay there in the mix.
[commentator] Definitely.
[commentator 2] Feeling the heat of saving it.
[suspenseful music playing]
[commentator] Oh, just veered right.
A costly bogey for Cantlay.
And now it does appear it is a two-player race with those bogeys.
Has Cantlay run out of time?
[inspiring music playing]
[Dethier] Your Olympic game men's golf team
consists of Xander Schauffele, Scottie Scheffler,
Collin Morikawa, and Wyndham Clark.
Yeah, it's, uh… it's pretty awesome.
I mean, this probably ranks as the coolest team I've ever made for sure.
Well, Australia's Olympic golf team has been announced,
with Jason Day and Min Woo Lee to represent the men
and Hannah Green and Minjee Lee in the women.
[Min Woo] My sister's just been waiting on me.
So the time has come, and, uh, yeah, it's very exciting for the family.
[Min Woo] Being in the Olympics, it's gonna be special.
Wearing the green and gold, it's a great honor,
especially, you know, with my sister.
I think it will be one of the best achievements, I guess, for our family.
[Minjee] Who hits the first shot. Do I hit?
-[Min Woo] Yeah, you hit. -[Minjee] Okay.
Major champion hits.
-Oh. -[Minjee] Oh.
[Min Woo] Nice shot.
Oh, that's in!
-Oh! -[Minjee] Ts…
-[Min Woo] All right. All right. -[Minjee] Oh.
The Olympics, for me, is just something bigger,
like I'm playing for something bigger than myself.
But being the first siblings in golf to, you know, go to the Olympics,
I couldn't really believe it. Then here we are. [chuckles]
I think I got you.
[chuckles]
This is my team Australia gear ready to go.
I needed to play well, and I'm glad I did.
I'm excited to see the Eiffel Tower and play alongside Jason.
Dreamt of being in the Olympics when I was younger,
so yeah, hopefully we have some fight like this boxing kangaroo
and show some grit and be up there.
[Wyndham] Obviously, I'm on the verge of one of the biggest things in my career.
I always dreamed of being an Olympian.
And so now to be part of that
is another thing that I can just check off my bucket list of…
Man, I'm so blessed and so fortunate that I get to do it.
Just being there is, in itself… is amazing. So I'm so… I'm so excited.

[Balionis] Gary Woodland is probably one of the most beloved players
on and off the golf course.
[commentator] Gary Woodland, brain surgery less than 12 months ago.
I mean, it's just wild. It's something you never think you'd hear.
Did you have a headache today?
It came out of nowhere. Our life was completely changed.
[Gary] But I'm gonna fight.
Whatever works to get these headaches to go away.
I was raised that if your heart's beating, you play.
[dramatic music playing] heart's beating, you play.
