that slope and he wasn't as fortunate as jason day. or even lucas glover. that led to that miss for double. a triple bogey would drop him into a playoff and on the second playoff hole brandt snedeker hit a beautiful little shot here. went on to save par while kyle stanley missed his par attempt giving snedeker the victory. and that 16th hole very possibly will be back in action here. it's the second playoff hole, if necessary. of course, kyle stanley would go on to end the very next week in phoenix for a happy ending to that story. it's not every day you see a four-man playoff but that's going to be the case. we're going to be coming up to the 18 and the there's already a huge throng here. and after the tournament ends at
6:33 pm
18 there's going to be a memorial service today for billy casper. we've been talking about the great legendary golfer and man from san diego who passed away yesterday. some family members are here. i've seen lee eder and his wife sharon here. of course, lee with his own tremendous record and history and difference making in the game. it's going to be quite a moment. but meantime, 18 is going to serve as the back drop for the first hole of this playoff and we have guys who can hit it a long way. nick: can i tell you what's going to happen after they hit their tee shots? seriously, it's flip a coin between these four guys. the facts that it's four, i'd be feeling the same thing. with a two-man playoff you go into match play mode. with three others, you have to dodge bullets. lots of ways to make four. as we've just seen, even if
6:34 pm
you're down the fairway because that hole location it's so difficult to get it in the right area. the key shot is the -- tee shot is the key thing. but no one is going to wedge it in. jim: for jason and harris, their first-ever playoff appearances. of course, jason ended up winning the match play last year against victor dubuisson in extra holes but knost -- that's not officially kept as a record by the pga tour as being a playoff. nick: well, it feels like it because it is sudden death this is pretty exciting to be honest and i'm trying to get a gut feeling on what's going to happen. with four guys there are too many permutations. peter: will someone try to play aggressively and win it on 18 or lay back and wait for somebody
6:35 pm
to lose it? nick: as i said, if they hit the fairways i'm sure they're going to be going for it now. roll the dice. david: i'm going to run out there and kick somebody if they don't. nick: you have to roll the dice and if you can reach it, chance it you hope you can hit it on the back of the green or you hit the career shot and it pitches on the back of the hill and stops. or it becomes unplayable. and unfortunate -- unfortunately jason day's was unplayable from over there. jim: do you fancy any one's chances over anyone else? nick: i don't know, they all hit the fairway just about? scott stallings was the only one who missed the fairway. three of the four guys hit the fairway before. the key is hit the short grass first and let's see what happens.
6:36 pm
i still -- i think -- thinking about it, j.b. holmes and his caddie were having a good look at that lie. maybe it was a sketchy lie, a little downslope and in that particular moment, the breeze did get up. right now there's definitely less breeze than there was when j.b. played the home. maybe he thought the fact he'd just had two long bunker shots and made a mess of both of them -- >> guys, we're going to play 18, 16 17 and 18 and jeff daily of farmers since -- insurance is going to help us with the draw. scott, you finished first. you'll draw first. then jason then harris and j.b. ok? >> three. >> ok, four.
6:37 pm
6:38 pm
jim: the only man of this group to birdie the 18th today. played the north and south courses the first two days. dead right. david: right of the bunker and -- you never know. nick: might be ok. he is five yards longer than earlier on and looks ok. david: he's got the wind helping the cut. if he can move it far enough from there from left to right. nick: could have a lie. jim: now j.b. he's looking anxiously right also. nick: the same deal. he'll be on the bank of the bunker. jim: he's in the sand. nick: yeah, that's lay-up.
6:39 pm
decisions are made. david: if he's got a decent lie he might be able to reach from there and maybe put in a situation where he has to take a leap at it. nick: i doubt it. one slip and it's all over. jim: jason who made the most aggressive play in regulation at the 18th, over the green in two. he loves it. nick: he loves it. and he's got the iron power to get there. peter: well, he's on a little bit of a downslope however. so we'll have to see once we look at the lie. jim: that is what you call center cut. right on it. scott stallings the last. to play the tee shot.
6:40 pm
nick: a little shorter swing. is it swooping back? oversweeped it. oh, in that meg thick stuff. wedge. -- megathick stuff. wedge. jim: definitely up there. advantage jason day off the tee first playoff hole. male announcer ] ours was the first modern airliner, revolutionary by every standard. and that became our passion. to always build something better airplanes that fly cleaner and farther on less fuel. that redefine comfort and connect the world like never before. after all, you can't turn dreams into airplanes unless your passion for innovation is nonstop. ♪ ♪

6:42 pm
jim: we're back at torrey pines south at the 18th hole in a four-man playoff. with jason day in the best position off the tee here. big decisions going to be coming up from harris english, who blew it far enough off the tee might have a chance to do something. holmes in the bunker and stallings with the easiest right now -- nick: decision. jim: yeah. peter: stallings has no chance of going for it from his lie. he'll have to lay up. jason day has 235, just a little bit of a downhill lie so i would think perfect for his 5-wood.
6:43 pm
david: we have j.b. holmes at 238 and not a great lie in the bunker but harris english as you said 242 and i think he can get enough elevation. the lie is kind of matted but he might think about going at this try and carve something out of this. nick: as he got a 5-wood in the bag? david: he does. nick: that's going to be a max with that club. jim: looks like stallings is way out. he and john yarbrough are just trying to figure out where to lay this up. peter: 229 total to the hole. it's a matter of what does he want for his third and how far can he advance this? nick: he'll do well to move it 150 yards. peter: not possible. jim: swings off the right side
6:44 pm
of the fairway and that will be just fine. nick: that might be a good angle because you're then playing away from that 2:00 position. you can go right at the flag and hop it past. so good move. peter: jason day has pulled an iron here. nick: his 3-iron. that's his power club. peter: he'll be the last to play i believe. jim: it's going to be english trying to weigh a very important smith. he along with brian smith crunching numbers. david: he would like somebody else to go in front of him. he's going to lay it up. nick: i think that's wise. is there a mound in front of him as well? david: the mound doesn't really come into play, it's low enough. the little stone pine that he would have to get it up or left of which he could do. nick: i think he simply can't
6:45 pm
get there with that 5-wood. simple as that. doesn't want to risk it. david: you do want to hit it on the fairway if you lay up. oh no. jim: oh, my goodness, that's a disaster. nick: that is a big mistake. he made a mess at the sixth the fourth hole same way. hit a bank, pulled it left, took a double, i think. jim: now j.b. david: this one the sand is pretty soft and the weight of the ball is enough to -- again it could be ironic if he were to go for this one and not the last one. this is just a lay-up. nick: great extension through the ball. jim: now the most fascinating decision of all. jason day last time said i'll go ahead and hit it long and that
6:46 pm
almost cost him. nick: he's not going to belt it. he's got to hit this 100%. peter: he's got a 2-iron, no the a 3 and this is where his high ball flight is really an advantage. one of the marshals in the way. they have to signal him to move back to the side. nick: just a full, free swing and middle it. peter: and he went to the right side of the green nice and high. nick: oh, my goodness. he didn't get there. wow. i'm surprised at -- i don't think that was intentional peter, was it?
6:47 pm
no. peter: i -- there's no reason to lay it up over there i wouldn't think. jim: we said the breeze has been picking up in the last hour. peter: and it has picked up considerably but i think that was a slight mishit off the downhill -- mis-hit off the downhill lie. nick: i think he's fine because he can use the slope in the middle of the between to sort of bend it a bit. jim: the most concerning issue right now is harris english is -- again, we keep talking about just off the fairway is the nastiest thickest lies you get out here. we'll have to check the lie with peter and david but he's going to have to try to somehow sling one over the water. oh. david: actually, it's half in and half out of the thick stuff which i'm not even sure helps.
6:48 pm
nick: well, it's going to jam the hosel and swing the clubface left. but you can open it up a touch more. jim: better, though, than we first thought. name way better. at least he's got a ha a chance. david: yeah, he's got that slope to the right. he's not going to be able to spin it but if he can run it up and around, he may be able to get it back close to the hole. it would take a heck of a shot. peter: in regulation stallings had 1307 yards left for his third shot. in the playoff he has 104. as i say the wind has picked up a bit but he should have a good feel for controlling the distance of this shot. nick: good feel and a great angle. if he pushes or pulls it, he's fine. shouldn't miss that bowl.
6:49 pm
peter: that got caught up in the wind a little bit. jim: easy. nick: whoa. steady eddy. just went outside of the really nice range didn't it? like a six-footer. david: j.b., 95 yards and couldn't spin it the last time. brian smith last-minute numbers. if he can throw it to the right of the flag and a little long, that's the steepest slope. nick: be careful. that's the one that grips. straight at it. land it there let it hop past, come back.
6:50 pm
he went a little long last time and it gripped on the back ridge. david: surely. nick: that's the one. jim: he's going to love this. beautiful shot by j.b. holmes. nick: makes this one a little easier because it's just all or nothing. try the impossible. david: he can't land it halfway up the slope, it will go to the back. he's got to land it just on the green. nick: yeah.
6:51 pm
david: he hoisted it way up there. went long. jim: back of the green. nick: the lay-up cost him. completely. unless, of course, there's the miracle putt. why is he announcing when there's one more man to play? i wouldn't like that if it was me. jim: jason day is still -- peter: he doesn't have a good angle, jim from here. jim: that's what i was concerned of. peter: he's trying to find the spot on the ridge where he needs to get the ball to funnel it toward the hole. he'll definitely have to carry it to the top tier try to get the speed right as it comes off that ridge.
6:52 pm
david: there are a couple of very nervous-looking ducks in this pond since that last -- one of them looks paranoid. jim: the lucas glover shot. david: it is not clear to him what is going on here. nick: you're right. land it right on the crest of that ridge. jim: what a gorgeous shot. we have a four on the way for sure for jason day.
6:53 pm
with a win jason would move to seventh. stallings would move into the top 10. so would harris english. j.b. would move him to 12th. you talk about all the things that are happening in the game of golf and the term "changing of the guard" is a little stale now because a lot of people could argue that that's been in progress here for several years with rory mcilroy's four wins in three years but if you're looking for young stars, more to build on other than just rory mcilroy. this is a young fellow right here harris english who has game but jason day would be on everybody's list. nick: he's been on my list for a couple of years now. trying to follow in the footsteps of adam scott now. so a 100-1 shot.
6:54 pm
keep going then. keep going, oh! jim: right on track. j.b. stepped in at the end to watch the very last part of that because it went almost right over his mark, which he's going to put back to its original spot. i'd just go ahead and -- why not? five for english. the midway point on friday, co-leader coming into saturday's round. he'll have a tie second finish here. nick: this is one that prugh had. left edge firm. jim: he didn't take long. nick: a little too wide. it's only a fraction.
6:55 pm
wow. jim: he was anxious to hit that one. david: you're right jimmy. he got that out of the way quickly. nick: and then there were two. it's all on j.b.'s shoulders now. jim: it is. nick: just to stay alive. jim: if he makes it and then once we clear the green here, they'll be heading to the 16th hole. that's j.b.'s wife ericka. it's not an easy putt. made it look easy, though. hold on to that. says you see
6:56 pm
there, fellows i didn't need to go for any green. i can make four by leaning on my wedge. jason day is also in with a birdie. so now to two. they're going to be escorted by mark russell over to the 16th hole. here's what we're going to do. we are going to continue our coverage on the west coast on the cbs television network and golf channel coverage for the rest of the country. golf channel will take the feed.
