colt: i would say with the adrenaline and this colder temperature, they almost cancel it out. he has 133. he knows how to get it close. nick: strong guy still using a pitching wedge? that makes sense, don't want to overspin anything. looks good. and interesting -- it's going to work. it's really going to work. jim: that's the angle you always wanted. look at this. a foot away!

dottie: nick, he's three yards farther than he was in regulation. 124, which makes the backstop 127. nick: perfect. just a 3 father pitching wedge. dottie: it's a gap wedge. nick: a full one. be careful. could overzip it. he's trying to find the same spot. going to the same part. a smidgen longer but boy, does he know the line. he knows the read now.

beautiful swing. he's got power and boy as he got some accuracy as well. jim: waited two hours to get back into the game. how much shots did he strike over there just hoping for the chance? that's where you always ask it to go, nick. 1:00. nick: yeah, it's the magic spot. that's a nice gesture from that young man, isn't it? still got a long career. so hey, you can't do anything about it. you can just compliment him and obviously try and match

it. could have said i'll finish and go back -- i think he is. he can finish and put the pressure on will. jim, is this the quarterback sneak from a foot? jim: yeah, that's a fourth away. fourth and 1 from a foot. what a birdie. birdies it twice. two hours 15 minutes apart. again, tonight on cbs begins with a special undeniable: the truth to remember, followed by back-to-back editions of 48 hours. that's all tonight on cbs. [captioning funded by cbs sports division] [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy visit ncicap.org] nick: it is extremely dark out there. dottie: nick, would you

leave the flagstick in for depth exception? nick: why not, you're allowed now. and you want to hit it as firm as you can. uphill, makes sense. dottie: i'd consider it very seriously. nick: yeah, but if you haven't done it and that's not you, then don't do something different. he knows, right edge firm, smash it in this time. jim: if he makes it, the playoff will resume tomorrow morning. miss and luke list will sleep in his own bed at the masters this year. nick: going left again. jim: luke list takes the farmers insurance open! his wife khloe, his children ryan and harrison.

little harrison born just a couple of weeks before last summer's u.s. open here at torrey. his first career win. luke list moves into fourth in the fedex cup standings. with an amazing victory here. he had -- can't emphasize enough how long he happened to wait and sit back and wonder if anyone was going to overtake him. they were tide with him. at one time there were three tied and he knew that the 18th would always be looming and perhaps someone could knock him out on the 72nd hole. we go to ahanda. amanda: luke, you've waited a long time for this moment. what was another two hours to wait for this to happen?

what did it take? >> i have no idea. this is what it's all about right here. this is my rock and she's been telling me for a long time, daddy, i want a trophy. and i finally won a trophy. look at the candy in it. amanda: which you look at the camera and say go, daddy one more time? >> go, daddy. amanda: congratulations to the entire family, jim? jim: he's got his trophy in his hands and his first tour title at the age of 37. he birdies the 18th in regulation, improbable as it was after two shots in the rough and then battling darkness in the dusk, he hits the wedge shot of his life.

tonight on cbs, undeniable: the truth to remember, back-to-back episodes, 48 hours. nick, to you and all the crew, i look forward to seeing you all next week at the at&t pebble beach pro am. nick: yeah, can't wait, see you, jim. jim:: folks, see you back here as well tomorrow in kansas city. for the a.f.c. championship game. cincinnati and kansas city but this night, this saturday night special, belongs to luke list. he is the champion in san diego! his little girl ryan giving her daddy all the love in the world as they celebrate together.

spotify revolt: joni mitchell joins the protest, pulling her music off the streaming service. the singer accusing the service of spreading fake information about vaccines, endangering lives. in ukraine, freying relations over a possible russian attack. >> reporter: i'm holly williams in ukraine. where the country's process has accused foreign leaders of sewing panic. >> sargent: and later, teaching kids about life one chess move at a time. >> this is the "cbs weekend news." >> sargent: good evening. i'm irika sargent in chicago. adriana diaz is off. we begin tonight with a powerful winter storm impacting millions of americans across the northeast. the snow fell fast and the winds have been fierce, causing blizzard conditions in some yawrs. thousands of flights were canceled, and more than 100,000 are without power.

cbs' mola lenghi starts us off tonight in hard-hit boston. mola, good evening. >> reporter: well, the snow and wind have intensified throughout the day significantly impacting everything from visibility to just general conditions. here in boston, there has been more snow today than the city gets, on average the entire month of january. a potentially historic storm for boston by the time it's all over, with deep snow and high winds. >> snowmageddon, there's no place to be than the city in the middle of a storm. there's always something open. there's always food. hot toddies by the fire. >> reporter: the bomb cyclone whipped up waves saturday morning, battering coastal massachusetts. >> the street's officially flooded. >> reporter: images from space show the storm bearing down on the northeast, dumping more than a foot and a half of snow in some areas. >> i'm ready for summer now. >> reporter: ranging from blustery to bucolic.

a day for dogs, skis, and a good old-fashioned group snowball fight. new yorkers hopped on sleds in central park, and some even braved their daily run. but the state's governor warned of the bitter temperatures. >> this is where the dangerousness sets in. you cannot have people in their homes without heat for any length of time. >> reporter: plows faced whiteout conditions in some areas and kriefers are still urged to stay off the roads tonight to give them space. well, those roads will have to be clear for the utility crews that are trying to restore power to the roughly 120,000 homes and businesses that are without it, and that is just here in the state of massachusetts. irika. >> sargent: mola lenghi in boston tonight for us, thank you. let's go to the latest on the storm's track with wcbs meteorologist vanessa murdock reporting tonight from oyster bay on new york's long island. vanessa, good evening. >> reporter: irika,

thankfully, this storm has released its grip on long island, but it's still a long night ahead for the coast of new england, especially. this storm has been a monster, cropping a ton of snow in its path, about a foot in ocean city, maryland. as much as almost two feet here across long island in places. and then as we make our way up to massachusetts, already 24 inches in brockton. now, as we look at what we can expect moving forward, the snow will wrap up in boston before midnight. in maine before the break of day. but we still anticipate significant snowfall to add up beyond what's already on the ground. another six inches for some along the coast, where you see the carcker blue. and the navy, well, that's the possibility of as much as a foot more in places like augusta, maine. the wind will still be a factor, bringing wind chills in the northeast into the subzero realm, and in florida into the 20s. >> sargent: vanessa murdock also out in those elements thank you. today, several well-sourced journalists reported tom brady's

retirement is imminent. but after a flurry of stories and two decades as one of the greatest quarterbacks ever, that decision has yet to be made official. cbs' michael george in new york has more on the man they call "the goat." michael, good evening. >> reporter: irika, good evening. with any other athletes, the term "goat" or "greatest of all time" would seem like hyperbole, but not when we're talking about tom brady. and right now the sports world is in a frenzy with news his retirement could be imminent when tom brady makes his retirement official, he walks away from the game not just as a legendary n.f.l. quarterback, but also one of the greatest athletes of all time. cbs n.f.l. insider jason la confora reports brady's decision has been brewing for a while. >> he was at a place in his life where he was leaning further and more deeply and more robustly into a future outside of football than he had ever considered before in his life. >> reporter: at 44, brady's records and accomplishments are almost too many to list. he leads the n.f.l. in all-time

touchdown passes and passing yards. he won seven super bowls and earned five super bowl m.v.p. awards. is there any question that he'll go down as the greatest quarterback of all time? >> i don't know how there could be. i don't know what metric you're looking at, that doesn't lead you to tom brady. >> reporter: in 2017, norah o'donnell asked brady about his legacy. >> o'donnell: how do you rank yourself? >> i'm not good with, you know, things like that. so i-- i-- i mean, i feel like i've done a great job to maximize what my potential was. >> reporter: brady played his first 20 seasons with the new england patriots, forming an all-but-unbeatable duo with his kosm, bill belichick. but two years ago he stunned the football world, signing with the tampa bay buccaneers, and making them super bowl champs in his first year. and from brett favre and adrian peterson, everyone is offering

their congratulations and thanks. but remember, brady himself hasn't made it official yet. his agent says tom will announce his own plans soon. irika. >> sargent: all right, michael george, thank you. to the pandemic now. new infections fueled by the skyrocketing omicron variant are now falling across the country. there are more than 570,000 cases reported friday. that's down 24% this week. but hospitalizations remain at peak levels and deaths are rising. for more, cbs' lilia luciano is in los angeles tonight. lilia, good evening. >> reporter: good evening to you, irika. hollywood boulevard is as packed and lively as always. health experts say here in l.a. we're past our peak of omicron, but now there are concerns of a new stealth subvariant. another day, another covid positive written on body bags in a kansas city morgue as omicron driestles the daily death toll

higher than last fall's delta wave. >> we have been trying to scream at the top of our lungs to say how bad it is. >> reporter: hospitalizations are down nearly 5% nationwide, but almost all americans live in a high-risk area. >> i think all over the country there's this incredible fatigue. we thought this would be over by now. >> reporter: healthcare workers are still on guard. dr. jeremy faust of boston's brigham and women's hospital. do you fear there will be more spspikes and surges ahead? >> i think predicting this virus is bad business. i think no one had ever heard of omicron on november 23, and then it took us all by storm. >> reporter: and now another possible threat: a stealth new subvariant of omicron. ba.2 has popped up in nearly half the country. do you see other variants that could be very deadly happening? >> i do predict that we will have new variants. whether or not they would cause worse or milder disease is a wild card. >> reporter: faust says vaccines are the best defense against covid. still, a quarter of americans

haven't gotten a single shot. there's also resistance north of the border against masks and other mandates. ( horns honking ) today, thousands of truckers rolled through the capital city of ottawa to protest vaccine mandates for drivers crossing the u.s.-canada border. >> i do long hauls all over the country and i shouldn't need a mandate to go wherever it is i'm going. >> reporter: the new subvariant is called stealth because it may be harder to detect. scientists expect it to be very contagious, but they're hard at work trying to figure out if it could lead to yet another surge. irika. >> sargent: our thanks to you, lilia luciano. spotify is being forced to face the music after joni mitchell says she's pulling her songs from the streaming service over what she calls vaccine lies. mitchell is the second high-profile artist to abandon spotify after neil young. they're protesting its steadfast support for joe rogan, host of its most popular podcast, who is accused of pushing misinformation about covid and

vaccines. on friday, mitchell wrote on her web site, "irresponsible people are spreadig lies that are costing people their lives." spotify has not responded to cbs news request for comment. the united states is sending urgent alarms about the dangers of of a possible russian attack on ukraine. moscow has moved tens of thousands of troops to the border region. cbs' holly williams is in the capital kyiv. >> reporter: president biden believes there is a distinct possibility that russia could invade ukraine next month. russia has massed roughly 100,000 troops along ukraine's border, and has been moving hardware, including fighter jets and missile systems into neighboring belarus for what it says are military exercises. now, experts say russian military drills have previously been a prelude to an incursion. but here in ukraine's capital kyiv on friday, we were at a press conference given by the country's president, volodymyr zelensky, when he told

journalists that ukraine is not the "titanic," and he accused foreign leaders of sowing panic by warning of a possible invasion, thereby doing damage to ukraine's economy. zelensky did not rule out an escalation by russia and he said he was grateful if are american support. that's included plane loads of munitions arriving here in kyiv in recent days. but ukraine's government has consistently urged calm, clearly are withed that the threat of invasion could be destabilizing. now, russia maintains it has no plans to invade its neighbor and claims it's the real victim, threatened by alleged aggression by the u.s. and nato. it's demanding security guarantees, including a ban on ukraine ever joining nato. the u.s. and its allies say they cannot agree to that. ukrainians do not seem to be panicking, and perhaps that's because they've been living with russian aggression for years, including an ongoing war in eastern ukraine against russian-backed separatists that's claimed more than 14,000

lives, accordingd to the ukrainian government. irika. >> sargent: holly williams, thank you. an historic, ambitious declaration from the c.e.o. of general motors tonight, the auto giant making plans to spend $35 billion on electric vehicles over the next four years in a quest to overtake tesla as the e.v. world leader. cbs' ben tracy spoke with g.m.'s mary barra about her road to an electric future. >> we want to lead in e.v.s, full stop. so that's where we're aggressively moving. >> reporter: we met up with mary barra at factory zero, g.m.'s first assembly plant for zero emissions electric vehicles. this is where they make the electric hummer. so the hummer is no longer a gas guzzler. >> not at aut a huge truck that costs more than $100,000 is not what most americans want or can afford. so g.m. is now spending $4 billion to overhaul its plant in orion, michigan, to start making

an electric version of one of its most popular models, the chevy silverado pickup truck. starting price: about $40,000. you seem to be doubling down on the pickup truck as kind of your next big push. >> we lead in truck share in this country. we're going to defend our position, and we plan to grow it. >> reporter: what do you think will be your true first mass-market car at a price point most americans can afford. >> the equinox ev crossover will start at around $30,000, and we are working on a vehicle that will be even more affordable than that. >> reporter: barra says the transition to electric vehicles is now inevitable. it's all seen as essential to reducing carbon emissions from gas-powered vehicles that are lpg to rapidly warm the planet. g.m. is now building massive battery plants in ohio and tennessee, and just announced a new $2.6 billion battery facilitate in jason la

confora. >> i think we're incredibly well positioned and we're not going to cede our leadership position to anyone. >> reporter: barra is trying to position g.m. as the leader in electric vehicles, promising to go all electric by 2035. right now, tesla commands nearly 70% of e.v. sales in the u.s., while g.m. is only about 6% of the market. so what do you mean by that, when you say you are the leader. >> when you look at how many vehicles we're going to be able to launch across many segments, that's why by middecade, we think we'll be in a leadership position. >> reporter: so you think you can catch tesla by 2025, 2026? >> clearly, that's what we're working from a north america perspective and we're just going to keep going until we have global leadership as well. >> o'donnell: general motors is issuingsecond recall in less than a year for tens of thousands of chevy bolt electric cars. >> reporter: there have been setbacks. last summer, g.m. had to recall it's bolts due to battery fires. how much of a gut punch was that

when it happened? >> it's always hard. it was disappointi yesut just did the right thing. >> reporter: what do you say to somebody now who says, "i'm interested in buying an e.v., but i'm not sure they're safe." >> i think they have to look at who has the experience. we have a lot of learning in the electric vehicles general motors is producing. >> reporter: and barra says guiding g.m. into an all-electric future is one of the highlights of her career. >> i'm so excited about where we're headed. >> reporter: ben tracy, cbs news, detroit. >> sargent: when we return, kids learning chess to master the game of life. tonight,

we revisit a chess master in compton, california, passing the game and life lessons to the next generations. as cbs' jamie yuccas reports, his latest move is to go global. >> that's the best way to play. >> reporter: can you master life by playing a game? >> very good.

>> reporter: damen fletcher thinks so. he created "train of thought," a program that brings chess to kids from some of l.a.'s toughest neighborhoods. >> there are just so many children that stand to gain so much from the game of chess. >> reporter: fletcher says chess saved his life as a teen, so he now uses it to teach life lessons to players like 12-year-old andre. >> i really wanted to do this interview because i wanted thousands of people to see the big impact chess has had on my life. >> reporter: after their story aired in september, donations pored in, enough to provide every student a set to take home. >> that's one of the things about chess. it's high impact and low cost. it doesn't cost much to provide a chessboard for a child or introduction, even. >> reporter: fletcher has also been able to expand his reach to hundreds of thousands of students across the states and overseas. >> they're all incredible. >> reporter: including training chess coaches virtually

in switzerland and uganda. >> that's been a dream of mine to be able to have an impact globally. >> reporter: what lessons do you want people to take away from you and your story? >> you've got to find a way to achieve your goal, despite all the obstacles that your opponent is going to throw in the way. i'm a knight. knights in chess do not let obstacles stand in their way no matter what. he's going to find a way. >> reporter: and if he can't find a way, he'll make one. jamie yuccas, cbs news, los angeles. >> sargent: and we can see the fruits of his determination, yes, definitely a knight. that's the "cbs weekend news" for tonight. don't forget "sunday morning with jane pauley" first thing tomorrow. followed by "face the nation" with margaret brennan. i'm irika sargent reporting from cbs station wbbm in chicago. good night.
