03x06 - Last Shot

[bunniefuu]

[birds chirping]

[footsteps]

[Gary grunts]

Do you remember where to go?

[Gary] Left right here, baby.

[woman] Thanks.

[indistinct chatter]

- [receptionist] Hi.
- How are you? Checking in.

- [receptionist] Uh, last name.
- Woodland.

[indistinct chatter]

- Hopefully, you go back soon.
- I don't know. Hurry up and wait?

Yeah.

Fun times.

[nurse] Woodland!

- Do you have any medication allergies?
- No.

[nurse] What part of the
body are we doing an MRI on?

- The brain.
- [nurse] Okay.

You can put your items in there.

- [man] Have you ever had brain surgery?
- [Gary] Yeah.

[man] Okay. And any bone
or joint replacement?

Pins, screws,
plates, wires, rods?

- Plates and screws in the head.
- Okay.

- You've had MRIs before, right?
- [Gary] Yeah. A lot.

[chuckles]

Go ahead and go in.

[Gary] Physically,
I can do everything.

It's just mentally,
they're like,

"You're not gonna wanna do
it, because it's too much."

And I'm like, "I can do
anything. I'll be fine."

You know, I'm fine. And…
[chuckles] …they were right.

They're… they're
experts for a reason.

And it's… it's… it's
just… it's been hard, but…

All I ever know is to play.

[dramatic music playing]

[applause]

[commentator] Gary Woodland
in his first event back

since brain surgery
last September.

[Dethier] Everybody
loves a comeback story.

As sports fans, we're
drawn to the struggle.

Or the overcoming
of the struggle.

[commentator] It's just a victory
that Woodland is even out here.

[Dethier] We're
drawn to the fight,

whether that's against illness
or injury or just time.

[commentator] Justin Rose
in his sixth Ryder Cup.

[cheering]

[Dethier] That's what
makes sports so exciting.

You never really know who's out and
who's got one more left in them.

[commentator] Gary Woodland
has won the U.S. Open!

[Zuël] The beauty of sports is not in
the athletes making victory look easy

but overcoming adversity
because we all struggle.

Being able to watch our heroes
overcome those struggles,

that's what we connect to.

That is what is so incredibly powerful.
It connects us to our own humanity.

Golf's… I mean, it's like
life. It's not easy. It's hard.

I don't think I realized
how much I loved the game

until it was taken away from me.

You know, I'm out here fighting
every day to overcome this

and hoping to feel better and
hoping that today's the day.

[dramatic music playing]

- [girl] Jaxson's not letting me.
- [Jaxson] You have to catch the ball.

- [Gabby] You have to get the ball, sis.
- [girl] I don't even know how to get it.

[Gabby] Wait, I
have another ball.

[kids chattering indistinctly]

[Gary] Since I
was able to dream,

my dream was to be a
professional athlete.

And growing up in Kansas,

we have the seasons. We
have the different weather.

You can't play golf
all year round.

Basketball's the holy grail.
And so basketball was the dream.

Whoosh!

[Gary] I loved basketball.
I loved the team aspect,

being in the locker room,
hanging out with the guys.

In college, in my first basketball
game, I matched up against Kirk Hinrich.

And I realized quickly that
basketball was not my future anymore.

And fortunately, I
had another sport.

They gave me a golf club,
and I could swing it.

I don't know how or why,
but I was just good at it.

[commentator] Gary Woodland, three
under par. Monday qualifiers.

[Gary] And so I've
learned how to play golf,

but I don't think
I've ever loved golf

as much as I have the
last year and a half.

I would say Gary Woodland is probably
one of the most beloved players

on the PGA TOUR.

Whose shoes are these?

[girl] Mine!

[Balionis] But over the
last couple of years,

Gary has gone through some
of that off-the-course stuff

that you don't really
anticipate having to go through.

Hello! I love you, Dada!

[Gary chuckles]

[Gary] I started experiencing
symptoms in April last year.

Was shaking really bad. Was waking up
in the middle of the night, jolting.

- How was swimming? Good?
- [girl] Good!

[Gary] And everything was fear.

Walking down the street,
someone was gonna hit me.

Getting on an airplane, the overhead
bin was gonna fall and k*ll me.

Every day was death.

Daddy, will they take
a picture of your head?

[Gary] Mm-hmm.

[Dethier] Gary was diagnosed
with a lesion on his brain

that was pressing specifically

on the part that controls
fear and anxiety.

It got so bad that he
elected in September

to have open brain surgery.

- Daddy, she got trapped in the ball pit!
- [girl squeals]

[Gary] I wasn't myself at home.
I couldn't be around my kids.

I obviously couldn't play.

I needed my quality of life
back, and this was the option,

so surgery was set.

And I came out, and it was
like the fear was gone.

I flipped right back as an athlete, and
I'm like, "I'm gonna fight through this."

And I was able to play on the
PGA TOUR within four months.

Obviously, my brain's
recovering. My brain's healing.

You know, I have scar tissue in
there. And I'm on these meds.

And I feel worse now
than I did pre-surgery.

But I love this game.

And I truly believe
I can do anything.

And maybe I'm a little too
optimistic about how it's gonna go,

but I believe I can do anything.

And I want that feeling.
I want that fight.

I was raised that if your
heart's beating, you play.

[kids chattering]

[dog barks]

[man laughs]

He's gone mad! He's
mad for tennis ba*ls.

[boy] Yeah.

- What are you doing?
- [boy] He just dropped two!

- Speed.
- All right, let's roll.

[woman] You're back for
season three of Full Swing.

Uh, time flies, eh?

- [barks]
- [Justin] Oh.

That's a problem now.
I've started him off.

Suddenly, everyone goes quiet
when the camera comes out.

It's extraordinary.

It's like walking around the golf
course. You lose all your friends.

[Justin] Yeah, we've got used to it.
Seeing the cameras rolling around.

It's the new normal now.

- Nice and wintry in here.
- You know anyone who watches Full Swing?

The support system from
home is unbelievable.

And it's my absolute rock.

- [Justin] What does your mug say?
- [Kate chuckles]

[Justin] Boss Lady.

[Justin] My son, I
see him and think,

"Man, you know, what I was
doing in golf terms at that age

is quite remarkable
to think about."

[commentator] Justin Rose.

The lad is not yet 18.

[Zuël] Justin Rose is an
icon. He's an English icon.

He first came out
when he was 17.

He was the youngest to
qualify for the Open.

[man] Get in!

[commentator] "Get
in," they cry.

[commentator 2] Finished 4th
in the Open championship.

And he's only two shots away
from winning the whole thing.

[cheering and applause]

[commentator] Wow, not a bad
day. Touched with greatness.

[Wilson] He's got a
major, an Olympic gold.

One of the highest earners
in PGA TOUR history.

And last season, he had an
incredible showing at the Ryder Cup.

[indistinct chatter]

[Justin] At 44, I think
I was six years older

than the next guy on either
team of the Ryder Cup.

[commentator] Justin Rose.

In his sixth Ryder Cup.

[cheering and applause]

[commentator] An incredible
Friday for Team Europe!

[Justin] The Ryder
Cup was huge for me.

It's a top-five moment
in my career for sure.

f*ck' hell. I won that
money with you boys!

[Rapaport] Sometimes, the Ryder
Cup propels guys onto great things.

But other times, guys can't
quite capitalize on the momentum.

[commentator] That
is far from finished.

[Rapaport] Justin's been
sliding down the rankings.

- [commentator 2] Shot right in the bunker.
- [commentator 3] Yeah.

[Rapaport] If he doesn't have a
good showing at the U.S. Open,

for the first time in 20 years,

he will not be automatically
qualified into the Open Championship.

And that's the tournament
that has sort of defined him

but also eluded him.

[crowd gasps]

Not dropping today.

[Zuël] Now as an
older veteran golfer,

you're stepping onto the
golf course every single day

with those same desires to win,

but the weeks that you can win
on, they've become a lot less.

So the pressure and the
stakes become a lot higher.

[Justin] If I take my mind back
to being the 11-year-old kid

pretending I was on the front
cover of a golf magazine

and going to my local
club and holding a putt,

and "This one's for the Open,"
that's what it's all about.

I've been out there 25 years now. I
still wanna win major championships.

That's ultimately where
legacies are created.

I still believe I can.

That's what I'm playing for.

I'm playing for those memories
now, to be honest with you.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Gary] The majors are the
pinnacle of our sport.

The atmosphere, the energy
is like nothing else.

The build-out of
the grandstands.

I won the U.S. Open in 2019.

And I think you're
remembered by the majors.

I think you're remembered
by what you've done.

And it's something I look
forward to every year.

But I'm not 100%.
And that sucks.

Oh hey, Justin.

I have a mic on,
just warning you.

Cool. I hate kids.

- [Gary laughs]
- I'm just kidding.

[man] You were the first person
that Gary shared his diagnosis with.

Yeah, it was… it was bizarre.
It was actually in Minnesota.

I played with Gary
the first two days.

The old man that Gary is battled
some injuries a little here there.

And I asked how he's
feeling, and he's…

I could just kind of tell
that there was something.

- [Gary] Putting too or no?
- Yeah.

[JT] You know, he said that
he'd had a tumor in his brain.

And… and it just was… I
mean, it's… it's just wild.

It's something you never think
you would hear from anybody,

let alone, you know, one
of your good friends.

[Gary] They moved this one up, JT?
I played it, but I don't remember.

- [JT] Rick, do you remember?
- [Rick] I'm with Gary.

- [JT] Yeah, but Gary had brain surgery.
- [Gary] I had brain surgery.

[Rick] I'm the same as Gary,
but I didn't have brain surgery.

[Gary laughs]

[Gary] After surgery,
the doctors said,

"We're gonna put you
on anti-seizure meds."

The meds slow the brain down,
so I'm just a walking zombie.

Sure, whatever works to get these
headaches to go away. [chuckles]

But every day, there's a win.

I'm up five, six miles an
hour in the last month.

Hell yeah.

It's so much better to
focus on the little wins.

The little wins add up.

[Rapaport] Nobody really has high
expectations for Gary Woodland this year.

He had open brain
surgery nine months ago.

He's only been back playing
on tour for a couple months.

But I think Gary himself
does have high expectations.

I'm gonna fight, and
I'm gonna do this.

[suspenseful music playing]

[commentator] The sun is
shining. It's day one.

It's Pinehurst number
two. It's the U.S. Open.


to come through the gates here

at this cradle of
golf in America.

[Gary] You're always
motivated to win.

And I know what it
felt like. I tasted it.

Have a good day, yeah?

[Gary] I want it again so bad.

That's all I think
about when I'm playing.

From England, our 2013
U.S. Open champion,

Justin Rose.

[applause]

[Gary] He might not
remember this. It was 2008.

I was a young kid just out of college.
And Justin Rose comes up to me.

He's like, "You want me to give you some
advice?" And I'm like, "Yes, please!"

"Go out and sh**t under
par every nine holes."

"It's not a sprint.
It's a marathon."

From Topeka, Kansas, please welcome
our 2019 U.S. Open champion,

Gary Woodland.

[Gary] And I went there
with that mentality.

And I got through Q-School
and got my PGA TOUR card.

We are on the older end.

And we wanna prove we can still do
it, and we can still get better.

[woman] Good practice, Justin.
Have a great day at Pinehurst.

[Justin] Thank you.

[commentator] We
welcome you back here

at the 124th edition of the
U.S. Open. To the third.

[commentator 2] Gary Woodland
here, Dan, putting for birdie. Yes!

[cheering]

- Twenty years.
- The years just blend into each other.

[commentator 3] Woodland.

[suspenseful music playing]

[commentator 3] Errant
approach. Long way left.

[man] Oh no.

- [commentator 3] A power putt.
- [commentator 4] Got a go.

Just consistency he's lacking.

[Justin] Gary just oozes
talent, oozes swagger,

and plays the game
completely differently to me.

[commentator 3] Rose,
he has this for par.

[commentator 4] He got
a read off Woodland.

Immensely talented with a
basketball in his hand as well.

I had a game of HORSE with him
once, and I, like, was pathetic.

I made myself very
English very quickly.

[suspenseful music playing]

[commentator 4]
Pinehurst number two.

The moment you just get on
the wrong side of right,

you can rack up some
pretty big numbers.

Okay, the final
hole. Gary Woodland.

[commentator 3] Just the damage
was done. The start of this nine.

[Gary] Coming out here after brain
surgery, I'm on anti-seizure meds

that are just pounding
me, and I don't feel good.

Remember, like, highlights.

- Like, oh, I had a kid that year.
- [both chuckle]

- There's a lot more lowlights.
- I know.

- [commentator 3] Justin Rose.
- [commentator 4] And his birdie putt.

[applause]

[sighs]

[Kate] Very frustrating to watch
him miss the cut at the U.S. Open.

It's rare that happens.

[man] Good rest of
your day, Mr. Rose.

[Kate] But he calms
down very quickly.

And it switches into a
practical, pragmatic,

you know, "How do
we progress this?"

- Thanks.
- Yes, sir. Thanks.

[Gary] It's one thing to
play well and not finish.

It's another to
not have a chance.

When you miss the cut,
you don't have a chance.

But fortunately, at the U.S. Open, I
have a past champions parking spot,

so I don't have to walk very far,
but it's a lonely walk to the car.

[Justin exhales]

I didn't feel
great this morning.

- [man] A bit of fatigue.
- My back was a bit sore.

But after today, I
feel much better.

[man] Good.

[Justin] Obviously, to miss the cut, it's,
like, such a horrible feeling, for sure.

I don't like it at all.

I do feel like I've got a
great team of people around me.

And they told me what
their honest assessment was

of what was happening.

Obviously, not just at the U.S.
Open, but what leads up to that.

And I still feel like I can get
better tomorrow than I am today.

[man] Keep that weight in the front
of your foot on the left side for me.

[Rapaport] Justin's missed
cut at the U.S. Open means

he will not be
automatically qualified

for the Open Championship for
the first time in 20 years.

That's a gut punch for any top
player, but especially Justin,

who his career really began at the
Open Championship as a 17-year-old.

[Justin] I failed on every option
and was left with final qualifying,

which I haven't had to do
probably for 20-plus years.

You got about 100
players for four spots.

No matter what your
name is on your golf bag

and no matter what
your credentials are,

like, to beat a hundred
other pros on any given day

is a tough task.

[man] How did that one feel?

- Yeah, that felt good.
- [man] Yeah?

[kids chattering and laughing]

[Gabby] You guys can finish
your movie while Dad eats.

- And then it's bedtime.
- [girl shrieks]

No shrieking. Sh.

[Gary] Daddy's head.

- [girl] Ninja!
- [Gabby] Hey! Let's calm down.

[Gary sighs]

- [Gabby] Brush your teeth.
- I love you, baby.

- I tried to do it.
- Good night, Dad.

[Gary] I'll see you guys in the morning.
Daddy's leaving after you wake up.

- Mommy!
- [Gabby] Yeah?

[Gary] It would've been easy
for me to not play this year.

I obviously didn't feel well. I
wasn't playing well. I had no results.

- Daddy's medicine. I gotta take my meds.
- [Gabby] All right.

[Gary] But what's got me through
this journey, it's been my family.

And it was five
days before surgery.

I was back in my room.

And I decided to
write these letters.

And… I started with the kids.

[Jaxson squeals]

[Gary] I wanted them to know

that all I've ever dreamed of
was being a professional athlete,

but being their dad was more than
anything I could ever dream of.

[Gary] I love you, baby.

- I tried to do it.
- Good night, Dad.

[Gary] And not being able to
walk the girls down the aisle

and be there for them and
see them live their dreams…

Just know that
I'm with you, and…

[clears throat]

The same to my son.

I love you. See
you in the morning.

[Gary] Don't ever be
afraid to ask for help.

Gimme knuckles.

- See you.
- You okay?

Yeah. I'm all right.

[choking up] Because it's something
I've struggled with in my life.

[sniffles] And…

[coughs]

…I just wanted him to know that.

And then to my wife, I
wouldn't change anything.

It was perfect.

Those letters…

[sighs]

…were, uh…

were the hardest
thing I've ever done.

[dramatic music playing]

[Dethier] Justin has been automatically
qualified for the Open Championship

for more than 20 years.

But this year is different.

[Justin] You know, the thought
of not qualifying is stressful.

But I do feel alive
when I'm under pressure.

[man] Yeah.

[Justin] Come on.

[Rapaport] You can never
count Justin Rose out.

And he proved that once again
at Open Championship qualifying,

where he played some really good
golf to secure his spot in the field.

[Justin] Come on!

[Justin mumbles]

This is, I think,
my warm gear bag.

Mittens.

Yup, they're gonna come with me.

These things here are
invaluable. Look at this.

Hand warmers. Sometimes hard
to find these in the summer,

but I always have a little stash

because clearly
unpredictable up in Scotland.

Any British kid in the Open Championship,
it's like the most special event.

The thought of not being in it this
year would be sort of heartbreaking.

So it's time to win.

[bagpipes playing]

- [bagpipes fade]
- [tense music playing]

[Balionis] The Open Championship
is the final major of the year.

This year is in Scotland,

which means the weather is
going to be unpredictable.

The course is going
to be difficult.

And for Gary and Justin,

it's their time to prove
that they've still got it.

[music fades]

That okay?

- [man] Thank you.
- Did you get my good side?

[both chuckles]

- Gary, what's going on?
- What's going on right here?

I don't know, but…

- I'm a little dazy.
- Why?

Our guy went to the wrong tee.

I was sitting the wrong way, so
he started, like, really driving.

I thought I was...

- What tee did you go to?
- One.

It's funny. I gave him a hundred
to take you to one. [chuckles]

I'm just glad it worked.
I'm glad I did it.

Where's my caddie?

Why am I lost? I've
come in the wrong door.

There he is.

- Good morning, boss.
- Good morning.

[Justin] The Open, for me, is
almost a love affair, in a way.

Obviously, growing up as a
kid, as a British player,

it's like the Open,
that's the one to win.

- What's up?
- Played good yesterday.

Bro, you were solid
as well. Play well.

You too.

[Justin] I turned up at Troon
with a bit more gratitude

of just, it's really
special just to be here.

Who knows how powerful that is?

Definitely looks like it's coming
in sort of six-ish, doesn't it?

- [Mark] Yeah, it's gonna be heavy.
- Proper rain, yeah.

[Mark] Yep, we'll be
ready for it though.

[man] Hey.

- [chuckles]
- [man] I don't know.

Easy for him to say.

[commentator] Here in the country
that gave rise to the game.

First round of the 152nd
playing of the Open.

We've had some rain throughout.
Wind always a factor.

And right now, 14 players
who are under par.

Justin Rose played the final
qualifying to earn a spot

in this 152nd
edition of the Open.

[applause]

[commentator 2] Justin Rose has
one under for the day so far.

[commentator 3] Can
be aggressive here.

[Justin] Keep going.

[commentator 3] Beautiful.

- Beautiful iron shot from Rose.
- [applause]

Local knowledge is wonderful.

[commentator] So he
knew that was there?

[commentator 2]
To get two under.

[suspenseful music playing]

[commentator] How about it?

[crowd] Oh!

[applause]

[commentator 3] Gary Woodland.

A good story too. Brain surgery
less than 12 months ago.

Coming in low.

He hits it so low.

[Gary] We're fighting
all year for the majors.

It's the last chance to prove that
I've been able to overcome this…

[cheering and applause]

…and beat the best players in the
world on the biggest stage in golf.

[commentator 2] Justin Rose.

- Oh no.
- Come on!

[commentator 2] Oh no.
No, no, no, no, no.

[Justin] When I find myself
in pressure situations now,

it's like, "Can I rekindle
that 17-year-old kid

that had no expectation,
no pressure on him?"

Because that's when your best
performances tend to come out.

[crowd gasps]

[light applause]

[commentator 2] This is a fine round of
golf by Justin. Two birdies, no bogeys.

[suspenseful music playing]

- [man] Good shot.
- Nice. Oh, I love that.

[Kate] People may have written Justin off,
but he's doubled down and backed himself

and thought, "No, I'm not going
anywhere. I'm still around."

"I've still got
things to prove."

[commentator] And a
chance to go solo leader.

That's it!

[applause]

[commentator 2] Having
to go out and qualify,

that's given him
that extra buzz.

That's a round he
can be proud of.

Hi, baby.

- [Kate] Nice.
- Yeah.

- [Kate] You're doing very well.
- f*ck. I left so many out there.

So many out there.

[Gary sighs]

It's freezing.

[Gabby] Andy is
making chicken Parm.

[Gary] Nice!

- He's hiding. [chuckles]
- [Gary] Is he?


I'm leaving here at 5:10.

Fun. I will not be
leaving at 5:10.

I literally just got a
message for my follow-up.

[Gabby] What day
did they book it?

[Gary] October 9th. MRI and
then meeting after that.

Did you have a headache today?

I didn't, baby. It was…

I mean, sh**ting five over's
gonna give me a headache, but…

[laughs]

[Gary] I, uh…

You didn't even play
bad. It was one bad hole.

I know. Butch even said
when we got done, he's like,

"That's… it's just so close."

Let's just hope 'cause
I don't have a headache.

Yeah.

And my energy's back too.

Like, I feel like I could
go play again right now.

- I haven't had that.
- This is the best you've felt.

So much better. So much better.

There's hope!

[Gabby chuckles]

So nice.

We just need some putts to drop.

[chuckles]

[suspenseful music playing]

[commentator] Day two of the


where this Open's taken
place for the tenth time.

- Hey, Scottie.
- Sure, yeah. Hold it tight.

- [boy] Is this yours?
- I don't know whose that is.

Or… Oh, Tom Kim. See, look.

No, that's not the case.

[boy] Oh.

Oh my God. Thanks.

Tom, there's children
back here. Take it easy.

- Who wants it?
- [boy] Yes!

- [Scottie] A gift from Tom Kim.
- [boy] Thank you! Tom.

[commentator] Wind wasn't blowing at
all early morning, but it has picked up.

This to tie for second
for Justin Rose.

He's only had 24
putts so far today!

[crowd] Oh!

[commentator] Oh, it just broke
all the way across the hole.

It's all right.

[Justin] We play in
really tough wind.

And you can only win on Sunday
if Friday goes quite well too.

I said to my caddy,
"I'm really nervous."

[commentator] All
right, Rose for birdie.

[commentator 2] Big breaker right at
the end. Justin's got that well out.

- This is looking good. There we go!
- [commentator] Really good! Wow!

[cheering and applause]

[commentator] That is how Justin
Rose will float into the weekend!

Solid.

[Justin] Today was tough,
but I knew that I stacked up.

So that gives me all the incentive I
need to get the victories that I want.

[commentator] For a guy who's checked
off a lot of big events in his career…

[commentator 2] What
a way to finish.

[commentator 3] There's
still plenty to go

as we continue to follow guys trying to
make the first page of the leaderboard

and those who are
trying to make the cut.

[commentator]
DeChambeau plus six,

which is where the cut
line is just moved now.

On the tee, from the
USA, Gary Woodland.

[Gary] It's as much pressure to make
a cut as to win a golf tournament.

It's the same feeling.

You're still trying to execute
under pressure, under the g*n.

[commentator 3] He likes the look
of it. Beautiful. Oh yes, baby.

[Gary] It's a little extra deep breath on
Friday afternoon coming down sometimes.

[commentator 4] Woodland.
Really good opportunity here.

And it's one that he's taken.

[commentator 3] Birdie, birdie.

But I drove the golf ball in play.
I gave myself a lot of chances.

[commentator 4] He's
working his way back.

[Gary] I definitely got
a break in the weather.

And I was able to go out
and take advantage of that.

Is this partly the product
of you feeling better?

Change of medication?

Physically, I haven't felt
this good in 14, 15 months.

Um, so I mean, I was
telling Gabby last night,

it's like my season
starts right now.

I mean, I… It's been nice.

I've been thankful to be
back, and it's been exciting,

but I haven't been competitive.

Now I feel like I can
go out and compete.

- Okay. All right, bud.
- Good to see you.

- Good luck. Thanks.
- Yeah.

[silverware clinking]

- [Justin] Thanks, babe.
- Yeah.

Pretty quiet upstairs, isn't it?

We can use that as leverage.
"Netflix are watching. Behave, kids."

[Kate] Yeah. That would
be nice, wouldn't it?

[chuckles]

Take your cap off, or are
you still in work mode?

I've got hat hair. It's going
grayer, though, quickly, but…

So you're in it.

Yeah. You know, I've
got nothing to lose now.

Like, I've played great golf.

You know, I had some
fun moments in Rome,

but it'd be nice to feel
that again as an individual.

Mmm.

That's what I'm working for in my career.
I'm working for those big moments.

To contend in the majors is
really what Justin is about.

It's why he's still here.
It's what drives him.

We totally believe that there's,
you know, more great things to come.

And I think that kind
of keeps you going.

You know, I feel like I have it in
me to kind of achieve something big.

Surprise myself and
a few other people.

[chuckles]

[commentator] The final
page on the final day.

History being written
this afternoon.

[announcer] On the tee,
from England, Justin Rose!

[cheering and applause]

[suspenseful music playing]

[commentator 2] Justin Rose,
who's played in this championship

for over a quarter century

and had to earn his
way in by qualifying.

He's got a chance to
win his second major.

[commentator 3] A hard-charging wind from
right to left on these opening holes.

[commentator 4] Can he get
the distance correct? He can!

That is a sublime shot.

[applause]

[commentator 2] Justin Rose.

[cheering]

[commentator 4] Rose has
been sharp as a tack.

[cheering]

[commentator 2] He just seems so resolute
in his chase of this championship

for so many years now.

[Justin] Today, all the things I
was working on just fell into place

in a beautifully simple way
where it just feels like, pfft,

I'm in such a good spot.

[cheering and applause]

[commentator 4] He can
certainly get excited now.

[commentator 3] That reaction looked like
the reaction of a man that has belief.

[commentator 4] How wonderful it is to see
Woodland out here on day four of the Open.

I think the crowds are really, really
appreciating just what he's doing here.

Look at these blustery
conditions at Royal Troon.

[applause]

At the British Open, I think, more
than probably any other major,

it's so much more mental when you have
to deal with the elements that much.

[tense music playing]

[Gary] Obviously,
it's hard for me.

[commentator 4] Oh,
this is magnificent.

[commentator 5] I haven't seen anyone
strong enough to hold that shot up today.

But I'm able to come out and compete
against the best players in the world.

[commentator 4] Mr. Woodland.

Up the hill, breaker off the
right. Track, track, track.

Yes!

- Beautiful birdie.
- [cheering and applause]

[emotional music playing]

[commentator 4] Justin Rose.

[commentator 5] He's a study in
concentration of focus, isn't he?

[commentator 4] A big putt here.

[commentator 5] My heart's
pumping. I bet you his is.

- [commentator 4] It's coming good!
- [crowd] Oh!

[commentator 4] A foot
in front of the hole!

That looked like he
was never gonna miss.

[commentator 5] I, for
one, thought it was in.

[commentator 4] Rose,
with a drop shot at 12.

Two off the pace now.

[commentator 5] A moment of
trouble for the Englishman.

[commentator 2] Gary Woodland.

[man] Slow down.
Oh, right there!

[commentator 4] Just been
right up near the flag.

I mean, that was majestic.

[applause]

[Gary] It's nice to
not have a headache.

It's nice to not leave
early on the weekend,

like it was at the U.S. Open,
but it's frustrating to…

not be there at the end.

I don't get how I
have so much stuff.

[Gary] It was hard, and
it's been a hard year,

but, uh, to be able to fight
through that and battle

and have a little bit of success
at times there, I'm proud of that.

Most importantly is
you felt good all week.

- Yeah.
- Healthy, solid, strong. Come on.

[Gary] Just tells me that
you gotta keep fighting,

keep believing in yourself.

[Gabby] Hi, babe.

- You ready to go home?
- [kiss]

[Gary] I am. I'm
ready to go home.

See you guys.

[suspenseful music playing]

[commentator 4] Justin
laying down to see his putt.

He's trying to
look for something.

[commentator 5] Yeah, it's funny,
isn't it? You can't find any gradient

from left to right or
right to left anymore.

[commentator 4] We
like to see a break.

[commentator 5] Yeah, it's up the
hill, which is not helpful, really.

[crowd] Oh!

[commentator 4] He's come so close on
the last three holes. He really has.

The, uh, par putt at 12
drifted by, leapt out at 13,

and that one within an inch.

Xander Schauffele.

[commentator 6] If this
man knocks this in,

he's gonna be hard to catch.

He looks so on his game.

[commentator 4] Oh,
he's found another.

[commentator 7] Schauffele is in the lead
for the first time into this championship.

[Justin] Xander,
great competitor.

Before I knew it, he
was just stretched out

and… and just gone
slightly ahead of me. Um…

- [man] Xander!
- [man 2] Let's go, Xander!

[commentator 4] The
reply from Rose.

[commentator 5] It's time
right now for Justin.

How many more opportunities do you
get to win the Open Championship?

Not many.

[suspenseful music playing]

[crowd] Oh!

[commentator 4] Wobbled. It wiggled,
and it just fell away to the left.

[commentator 5] He
stays five under.

Three behind Schauffele.

[commentator 4] Yeah, he's
got a ringside view of the man

that he needs to beat.

Oh, yes, he can.

[applause]

[commentator 4] Tremendous shot
there. Majestic pitch from Schauffele.

Here's the shot of
his life right here.

[crowd] Oh!

[applause]

[commentator 5] Trying to keep those
thoughts of what could have been away now.

[commentator 4] He will
head down the closing hole

three shots behind
his playing partner.

A lovely, warm reception
for Justin Rose.

[cheering and applause]

[Justin] I don't remember getting
goosebumps on golf courses ever.

And I got goosebumps. I'm like,
"That's worth everything."

[commentator 5] Come on, in you come.
Round you come. There you go, Justin!

[cheering]

[Justin] You can't
replicate that in some wins.

You need a very, very, very, very special
set of circumstances to come together.

So it's sort of pretty…
pretty powerful for me.

[woman] Justin!

Justin!

[Justin] But then I walked off


- [voice breaks] I love you.
- [Kate] I know. I know. I know.

[Justin] It only hit me literally
as soon as I saw the people I love.

[emotional music playing]

[Kate] Oh, Fooch, I'm sorry.

[Mark] Mmm.

How good was he?

So good, all week.

You both were.

[Justin] That's why you do it. You
want to share it with those people.

They've put in so much effort to me too.
And you can just see it in their faces.

I shot the second-best
round of the day.

Nine times out of ten, I'm
gonna be holding the trophy.

I just got beaten by
a great performance.

There was tons of pride in how I've
played and how I approached Sunday

and how I felt within myself.

Coming off my emotions, I'm
so surprised I'm emotional

because I was so
ice-cold there today.

Yeah, you looked
like you had it.

But if someone else is gonna
sh**t six under, what can you do?

Right on, boys. Thanks.
That was an amazing week.

- [Mark] Incredible.
- Yeah.

[man] What a great week.

[man 2] Yeah!

- [Justin] Thank you.
- [applause]

[Justin clears throat]

I would've been a good champion.

I would've enjoyed
that trophy big-time.

I feel sorry for the
trophy, actually.

I mean, sorry, all respect Xander,
but I would have enjoyed that thing.

[chuckles]

Now you've got validation this week
that you're doing all the right stuff.

It's time to go all in
so we can get it done.

[Kate chuckles]

[kids chattering]

[Gabby] That's the
picture of his head.

- [girl] I want to see!
- [Jaxson] I see!

[Gabby] That's his real head.

- [girl] I wanna see his head.
- [Gabby] Yes.

[Jaxson] Where's the
plates and screws?

- [Gabby] Um, deep in there. I'm not sure.
- [Gary laughs]

- Jax, who's the man when Daddy's gone?
- Me.

- What's your job?
- To protect everyone.

Protect everyone, that's
right. You guys be good.

- Bye, guys.
- [Gabby] Bye!

Go up on the driveway
or the porch.

Bye, Mom! Bye, Dad!

Take pictures of Daddy's head!

Dad!

Take a picture of Daddy's head!

Take a picture! I want to see!

- Of my head?
- [girl] Yeah!

- Take a picture of your head!
- Have a good time!

Take a picture of your head!

[Gabby] I love that they
have to repeat it five times,

like I didn't hear
them the first time.

Do you remember how to get there
if we park in this other garage?

[Gabby] Nope.

[Gary] We're going back to make sure
nothing's grown in the last three months.

And then I'm gonna push if
everything's stable to get off this...

I'm gonna push too.

Gabby definitely wants
me off the medicine.

I'm hoping. [chuckles]

[laughs]

[woman] Woodland!

- [Gary] How are you?
- [woman] Good, you?

I'm doing well. Thanks.

[woman] We'll go this way.

[man] We're looking
at your brain today.

- Um, you had MRIs before.
- Yeah.

- And any allergy to the MRI dye?
- No.

- Any claustrophobia?
- No.

- And have you ever had brain surgery?
- Yeah.

Okay. And any…

[Gabby] In this hospital,
nobody wants to be here.

It's just like hard days in general.
And I'm ready for it to be over.

[man] If you have any problem,
let me know right away.

- Appreciate it.
- I'll take you back.

[Gabby] It's so really hard to see
someone you love, like, struggle

not only physically
but mentally.

We didn't know what was going on, so
we didn't talk to anybody about it.

And it was just the unknown.
And… and it's still the unknown.

Like, it literally came out of nowhere.
Our life was completely changed.

Gary, are you doing okay?

[Gary] Yeah, I'm
good. Thank you.

[machines whirs]

[Gabby] We've been together
for almost 17 years.

I'm like, it's almost
half of my life.

Um, I thought I loved
him when I married him.

I thought I loved
him 15 years ago.

But the love that we
have for each other now

is 100 times what
it was a year ago.

A thousand times what it
was when we got married.

I know what he's gonna
say before he says it.

And I know how he's feeling when
he, like, walks out of that bedroom.

And… um, it's just
different now.

I don't know. So much more.

[chuckles] More than I
ever thought possible.

I'll give you the
key for the locker.

- Appreciate it.
- And we'll go this way.

The other way.

[Gary] Uh-oh.

[man] Let me help you here.

- And, uh, you can use this room.
- I had brain surgery. [chuckles]

You can use this room to change.

[doctor] Hey! How's it going?

- You look great.
- [Gary] Thanks.

- [Gabby] Hello. Good to see you.
- [doctor] Good to see you again.

How are things?

[Gary] Good, just tired.

Well, good news. Looks
like things look the same.

- Perfect.
- So…

At least, that's what I think. We're
waiting on the official reading

from the, uh… radiologist.

If it's anything different,
I'll let you know.

Yeah. Perfect.

Any chance to lower
the medicine or no?

Yeah. You might want to wait
until you've got a lull.

A stretch where you're not
gonna be having to perform.

Lower it down, and if
the episodes come back,

you can go back up.

Go back up.

I think that's reasonable to
consider going down on it. Yeah.

- Doc, you're the best man.
- Great to give good news.

- Yeah. No doubt.
- [Gabby] Thank you.

♪ Hey, little boy,
where have you been? ♪

♪ Have you grown up Or
can you still dream? ♪

[Gabby] Well, that's good news.

♪ Well, it's the life
That was meant for me… ♪

[Gary] The outcome
was great, right?

Nothing has changed.

Um, I have big goals
every time I go in.

I think they're gonna
take me off the medicine,

but I thought that on my…
three weeks after surgery.

[Gabby] No. Yeah.

So I… my expectations
probably aren't realistic,

but the main goal, the
main thing going in,

is everything's stable
and nothing's growing.

And I'm healthy.

And so being able to share
that with my kids and…

It's what it's all
about. It puts life in…

It puts birdies and bogeys into
perspective real quick, so…

I am excited to get
home and see them.

♪ That was meant for me… ♪

[girl chattering]

[Gary] Get set!

- ♪ I wanna sing like Madonna… ♪
- Go!

♪ I wanna have one

♪ I wanna sing like Madonna ♪

♪ I wanna sing like Madonna… ♪

[Gary] All right, we have to jump
in the ball pit because we lost.

[Gary] As an athlete, you
never take time to reflect.

I did!

[Gary] And I've had
time to reflect and…

[Jaxson] I beat you!

[Gary] I'm so proud of myself.

I don't think I've ever
said that in my life,

that I'm proud of myself.

This has been the hardest
year of my life by far,

but I fought through it.

- Ready!
- [girl 2] Here you go. Here you go.

[girl] Set!

[Gary] I didn't know if
it was gonna get better,

'cause every day was horrible, and
it was hard to be around my kids

'cause my brain just couldn't withstand
the stimulation and the excitement and…

- [girl 2] Dad, help!
- I got you, baby.

[girl 2] I'm stuck!

[Gary] The last three weeks
is the first time in a year

that I've been able to be
a full day around my family

and not have to leave…
and go lay down.

I'm starting… to see light
at the end of the tunnel.

And it's what the
fight's been for.

I'm starting to get
my life back. And…

[sighs]

And that's…

that's what it's all about.

[exhales]

[commentator] Less
than a year ago,

Keegan Bradley was left
off the Ryder Cup team.

[Keegan] I got a lot
to prove to myself.

And so Presidents Cup is something
that I really want to play in.

[Dethier] The Presidents Cup,
it's the United States team

against the rest of
the world minus Europe.

It's like the Ryder
Cup but with Tom Kim.

Come on! Let's go!

For the Americans, they got
embarrassed at the Ryder Cup last year.

So you need to perform to avoid
another embarrassing loss.

What was that?

[Rapaport] For internationals,
it's a chance to pull a huge upset.

For that one little stretch of time,
everything seems life or death.

[cheering]

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]
