>> good effort, but not good enough. so zach johnson, jason dufner, 4-3 winners. won six of the last eight holes, jerry. >> that's pretty sweet. nice eagle. >> well, we talk about it often, don't we, johnny, about how good a wedge player zach johnson is. he has to be. just doesn't hit the ball that far. >> but when he won the masters in '07, he laid up at every par 5. hit wedge shots like that. coming from the guy who didn't know he was going to be here because he felt so bad sunday night and monday. >> yeah, that was nice. taking the iv fluids after a nasty bout with the flu. missed the first team picture that they took. >> look at this.

>> i mean, why not. a whole lot to win a match. that's fun. we're at the 12th. snedeker for birdie. just earlier simpson on the ropes. no spark whatsoever in that gro group. >> still got the big lead. 3 up through 12 now. five left in that match. and mickelson now. >> over at 14, dan. >> 114 left here, peter. >> oh, these guys have fought back from 3 down through what was it? seven holes. they're all square. that's showing some fight.

>> a couple of great saves and turn that last hole around it's really been very interesting to watch. here it comes. >> surprised it didn't come back down more. >> yeah, there's mud on the ball. that's the moisture on the greens, john. it just doesn't have the fire it normally does. look how wide that green is. when the bunker next to the green is wider than the green, it gets your attention. jason day next. >> and he's got 1 on 3. this fairway saturated. not casual water, but it is pretty wet. >> it's close to it. >> yeah. >> well, earlier, roger, on 10 webb simpson took relief for casual water in the rough. so if you're getting casual water relief in the rough, you

know it's wet. >> left to the hole as well. >> let's go to steve. >> thank you. you guys were 2 down at one point. what turned it around for you guys? >> what turned it around is what we've witnessed numerous time with the duff daddy iron play. he got the radar lock on about three or four shots. and started to capitalize. we didn't play that bad a round, we just didn't score. so we scored mid-round and obviously late. >> the duf daddy would be this man right here. jason dufner, what did you see from the fairway when you hit that shot right there? >> i think he had a pretty good number and the ball was covering the flag the whole way. it looked like it was going to be close and a little bit of

luck it goes in and makes it easy. that's my favorite walk up to the green. >> when you guys were turning it around, did you feel like there was momentum? or is this not the type of sport where there actually is momentum? >> yeah, you know, on the 7th hole mark hit a great shot up on the green and 2. and zach had a good shot about 15 feet and they ended up three-putting. and we had that hole. that was kind of a momentum shift and we had an opportunity on 8th. >> double good news, you're finished as well. congratulations on the victory. >> thanks. >> let's go back out to the course. >> thank you, steve. now let's bring in mark to explain what's going on, mark. >> tom brind l is our referee here with the pga tour and he's letting both sides know that they have the option to finish the hole if they'd like. it's their choice. but they would not play after this hole. >> well, it's pretty dark out here. the camera makes it look much brighter than it is.

i'm sitting just above the 14th green and i can look out and it's pretty dark. looks like everybody now is starting to head in. oh. there's webb simpson and his wife. his caddie, paul. >> looks like they're going to mark. that's john telling them they can mark their ball. and it looks as though they are done for the day. so good comeback for the americans. see what happens going in tomorrow now back over at 10 ernie els with his second shot. boy, that sounded crisp.

and this was also just a moment ago. wild tee shot left by tiger woods, matt kuchar. way up in the air. look at that shot. kuch. and they just decided to stop as well. so dan hicks, what's going on in your tower? >> well, play has stopped for today, jake. after a long saturday at the presidents cup, we have one match of the five alternate shot end. and that was a victory for jason dufner and zach johnson. so overall point total right now 11.5 to 6.5. they're going to resume play in the morning at 7:35 eastern time local time. and reminder live from the presidents cup is next on golf channel. the presidents cup continues tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. on golf channel. and, again, we'll have to call
