bill: well, we're back. two years ago he was 19 years

old. thought maybe the opportunity had slipped away, and then holing it from the bunker at the last to join the playoff. sam allen out there kind of get things going and then nice punch shot from the rough at the 18th. able to run it up. just a beautiful effort. and jordan spieth with that the first teenager to win on the pga tour in 83 years. and one of the men that jordan beat in that playoff was zach johnson. congratulating the guys and zach takes great pride in this event. he's on the board of the john

deere classic, and what must be going through tom gillis' mind. ian: well, he's got the spot at the open championship next week. bill: fedexcup point standings if jordan were to win be able to extend that lead over jimmy walker and bubba watson. zach waiting for jordan. coming out of the scorer's trailer. there's danny lee. gillis would move up to 72nd in the fedexcup points. he came in this week at 1994, so a huge lead, huge opportunity -- 194 for a huge opportunity waits for tom gillis in the playoff.

bill: and we're back and jordan's getting a little lift back to the 18th tee to play 18 twice, if necessary. then it will be 16, 17, and 18 if they have to go five holes.

big smile from jordan. as he was walking through the crowd, he was high-five agriculture -- high-fiving everybody. relaxed. something tells me tom gillis does not feel the same way. ian: he's already got that spot for the open championship next week. jordan already exempt, obviously, looking for his third major in a row. but tom should be proud of himself the way he's played this week. he'll be disappointed that he didn't birdie 17. bill: his last 18 starts, eight top five finishes, including the masters and the u.s. open. ian: and he just looks so relaxed and comfortable. >> congratulations.

>> thank you very much. bill: sam allen with deere and company. crarme c.e.o.. -- chairman, c.e.o.. ian: comes down from the driving range. >> you're going to drop first. we are going to play the same rules, so playing the ball down. playing 18, 18. >> ok. thank you. >> play well, gentlemen. bill: jordan congratulating tom gillis.

and these are players who win on the pga tour and then win a major the following week. actually phil won the scottish open before he won the open championship so not a pga tour event but able to do it twice. if jordan's able to do that, that means he'll go for the calendar year grand slam which would be an unbelievable achievement. that would be not far away, whifplg straight to the open championship. [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] bill: keeping an eye on this as it drifts off to the right side. ian: he didn't miss it by much.

that's pretty tram led down there. -- trampleled down. he's going to have to negotiate that. now tom gillis needs to hit it in the fairway. that's what he's thinking. he's got a chance to win for the first time in a long career. he was a rookie in 1993, the year jordan spieth was born. and -- >> looks pretty good. ian: he's driven it well all week matt gogel. bill: it's improbable that tom gillis with no top 25 finishes this season is even in this position. he'll try to give us an improbable ending to this year's edition of the classic classics. john deere classic

bill: tonight on cbs begins with "60 minutes," exposing thousands of tax cheese, followed by a new "big brother. " cbs tonight only on cbs. that's where jordan enpped up off the tee. rough there on the right sitting up fairly nicely. david: he's actually sitting

absurdly nicely, yeah. just looks extremely quick. he's had three of those jumpers already. ian: advantage tom gillis, even though he's 15 yards farther away he's in the fairway. he can control the flight of his ball from the fairway so much better. matt: a perfect 209 yards all the way back to that hole location. we had 222 and we -- yeah, we probably hit it about 200 about 12 short. 210.

matt: well, he has pulled a 4-iron. going right at a 210-yard shot. ian: should be a perfect number for him. matt: it starts off right trying to draw but more in line with where he ended up in regulation. ian: and a good 50 feet short. just didn't want to let it go. water to the left. kind of easy to do. david: jordan has pulled 6-iron here. 192 yards. that's about right. if it doesn't jump. keeping it left of the oak tree here. >> same shot we just hit. >> yeah, exactly.

ian: same shot he just sit he said to his caddie. matt: exactly. ian: still a little to the right. beautiful shot. peter: and it's getting better. david: beautifully judged. bill: alming off the slope. ian: he should know that putt, too. was not far from there in regulation just 20 minutes ago. just nice, calm swing here a flier lie. don't do anything different. just watch how he really watches the ball and the contact and allows the chin to turn through with the shoulders. holds the face up nicely. wonderful swing.

bill: multiple winners this season. jimmy walker with a couple. rory with two. and bubba winner of the travelers couple weeks ago and jordan going for number four. ian: and we remember number one so well right here on this green in a playoff two years ago. bill: he's had a steady rise up the world rankings. number two after earning the green jacket in augusta.

ian: when he did win here, he wasn't even a member of the tour and now he's perhaps just one more win away next week of being number one in the world currently number two in the world behind rory. if he would win next week, he would jump to number one. just an incredible two years for this still-21-year-old. david: it's an indication of just how good rory mcilroy is if you can play as well as jordan spieth has and not be number one. ian: true. we wish rory well with his injury. we hope to see him at the open championship. matt: he's on the green but it's still about 55, 60 feet. goes down the hill and cruises to the left, so it's -- you know you don't expect to make this. but it's not out of the realm of

possibility. i think you'd take a couple of feet from the hole and tap in. ian: i agree with you matt. i think it's important to not get overly aggressive. matt: not bad couple feet. bill: and now jordan.

ian: will he factor in that little left to right fall at the end like what happened on the putt at regulation. ian: it looks like the ball is a little above his feet. looks like it will go left and straighten at the end. ian: this putt for win number four of the season. bill: and the second time -- second time he's had a putt for the win at 18 today.

ian: so close. bill: just had a little too much pace as it caught that left edge. just dipped for an instant. ian: a little less speed it was in. great effort. matt: i tell you what, there's a lot of work left here. we all know what happened to dustin johnson in the u.s. open. this is a good three four feet, ian. it doesn't help a lot with the nerves. it will require focus. ian: 12'9". -- 2'9".

bill: that was solid. no hesitation. ian: taking his time, and he should. remember at the u.s. open, he really took his time on that last green, really looked at it from every angle. that's the way to do it and be committed once you're over it. stick to your routine. roll this one in and head back to the 18th tee. bill: right edge. back to the tee at the 18th.

playoff extended. and we'll be back after this message from your local cbs station.

>> i'm jeff glory. mexico's most notorious drug lord has escaped from prison again. he used a mile-long tunnel that started in his prison cell. he was captured last year after also breaking out of prison in 2001. in vienna, talks about a possible nuclear deal with iron. there are still issues holding up the agreement. and finance ministers are meeting late into the night to decide whether greece will get a new financial lifeline.

i'm jeff glory cbs news. bill: and we are back, t.p.c. deere run here in the quad cities about two and a half hours south of chicago. second hole of sudden death. tom gillis and jordan spieth. zach johnson came close once again. finishes with 65. danny lee, unfortunately incurred a penalty stroke. otherwise, he would have joined those at 20 under par. as always, deep into red figures, ian. ian: every time. bill: here at the john deere classic. ian: every time. it's always there at the 20, 22 under mark. bill: vijay had a good week. brian harman, 11 under par. steve stricker finished at minus nine. shoot 70 today.

always a great week here at the john deere classic. in silvis, illinois. think about it. it's such an unlikely scenario with jordan spieth back and ready to hit his tee shot at 18 against tom gillis. ian: watching intently. perfect. bill: jordan spieth number two in the world hottest golfer in the planet. tom gillis we're doing everything we can not to call him a journeyman but he doesn't mind that. he kind of calls himself that. playing around the world. 171 starts on the pga tour. matt: he certainly has found something this week in his swings because his greens in regulations were terrible coming

in this week but now the swing looks solid, looks in rhythm and find the fairway that's the key now. ian: has driven the ball beautifully all week. matt: oh, this is going right. ian: yeah. it's a long way back. that will be a difficult one. he'll have a lot of large oaks in his way to the green. peter: so now on the second hole of sudden death advantage to jordan spieth. center of the fairway.

bill: lineup tonight on cbs "60 minutes" starts thing out. ended with "csi."

thanks to met life for today's unique perspective tps deere run from above. the met life client group invites you to see their unique perspective. and that is where tom gillis ended up off the tee. well to the right. matt: the good news is that behind the ball, there's not a whole lot of grass there. bad news is he's going to have to decide if he's going to shoot it through the trees or just pitch it out and try to get up and down in four. bill: what do you like here ian? ian: with water all the way up the side, it would be silly to try to cut it over the water. he's got to decide between going through the trees like danny lee did, but i would prefer he laid it up. it's hard from where jordan is to expect a three.

it's still a 6-or 7-iron for the green. matt: i've got a 198 gillis. he's going to have to play first and show the cards. ian: i was surprised to see tom's ball as far up as that. it normally lands into the people there and doesn't get any roll. matt: i think he's pulling out a 5-iron which means he's going to try to hit it through the trees and hit it low.

ian: low punch 5-iron, little back in the stance, try not to let it turn over too much. matt: it's allow but it's headed toward the water. we've seen this over the years. it's going to make it to the hazard. ian: it grabs the hosel and turns the face over. that's why i like the pitching out. that was a tough shot. bill: he's explaining how thick that rough was. and now green light for jordan. ian: yeah. middle of the green. david: he has 6-iron. beg your pardon. he has 7-iron.

it's 197 yards. ian: he can go at it hard and release its with seven. david: that would work. ian: smart play, david. bill: that really forces tom gillis to hit a miracle shot. david: that was a big boy shot there from jordan, too. he just took the right back bunker out of play there with that. bill: we talk about his golfing skills but he just thinks his way around the course just so effectively, which is surprising for a guy just 21 years old. ian: i agree. and david he looks relaxed and confident just like he belongs in this position. david: he has the most perfect attitude i think i've ever seen.
