Whoa.

It's not the time

to start playing it safe.

Yeah, but if I make par,

he's gotta make birdie to tie me.

You're playing not to lose

instead of playing to win.

Here

Remember who won

the Masters last year?

Well, that guy over there.

Yeah, that guy over there.

T.K. Oh got his fourth green jacket.

Remember who come in second?

Nobody remembers

the runner-up, Luke.

You can get on the green in two

if you hit it with the big stick.

That one hurt.

You want to hit a few?

Your hand up to it?

CROWD:
Ooh... ooh.

MAN IN CROWD:

Come on, Luke.

Right into trouble.

Thread the needle with a 3-iron.

You bump and run it up on the green.

I think I should just punch out right here.

You got to put some pressure on.

Hit the 3.

Hit the 3, huh?

Hey, Mama, there's an Easter egg

hunt at the church tomorrow.

Sounds like fun.

Can we go, Dad?

You got some practicing to do tomorrow.

Martin, it's Easter Sunday.

Sundays are reserved for golf.

Son, you have to drop.

That's playing to lose.

You gotta listen to me.

I've been listening to you

my whole life

and this is where it's got me.

All right.

Where you gonna put it?

I hope he brought a snorkel.

All right.

Let's see what you got.

You gotta pull yourself

together here, son.

Am I embarrassing you?

You hooked it.

You gotta watch your right hand.

There you go.

Let it release.

Come on, now.

Let's get something started here.

Don't flip it.

Come on, now.

Come on.

One more good one.

MAN IN CROWD:
In the hole!

CROWD:
Oh!

Give me another one.

CROWD:
Oh!

Well now, you're playing not to lose

instead of playing to win.

Nobody remembers

the runner-up, Luke.

- God!

- You gotta put some pressure on him.

Hit the 3.

TODD LEWIS:

He snaps his putter, flings the shaft,

and then the sad shot here,

his father Martin, walking away

from son on the final hole.

Oh, my goodness. He ends up

shooting an 80 on the day.

We're going to look at the one that started

what I believe was the meltdown

when he hit it into the hazard

and going forth from there, Frank.

What was going through his mind?

FRAN NOBILO:

Well, I think he was still smarting,

Todd with the decision

he made off the tee,

whether to hit driver or 3-wood.

That's obviously still

in the back of his mind.

And once you've made

one mistake out of the water...

I had a feeling there was more

going on than meets the eye.

Wow. He chilled good.

NOBILO:
... what could I have

done differently instead.

Just hitting never

gets you out of trouble.

LEWIS:
The problem is,

his ball remains...

What do I got to do to get

some food around here,

kill a cow myself?

NOBILO:
So really, this is farcical.

You've got no chance-
