regulation play, you'd be happy to two-putt. fluff pointing to a spot there on the top of the ridge where jim hopes to get the ball on that line. >> gary, you believe unlikely both donald and garrigus will miss their birdie putt? >> i don't think we'll see both missed. both are below the hole. i think donald's might be a little straighter than garrigus', but i don't see both of them missing. >> with that ntality, if you're jim furyk, you've got to go for this. >> absolutely. >> he's hit it. he hit a good putt. again, if you were playing in regulation, you'd be happy about that. >> sang-moon bae is next, dottie.
6:31 pm
>> he is coming up out of that very same low. i was actually surprised he was so far away from jim furyk when he hit his putt. he was clear on the other side of the green. didn't get a great perspective of it. i think he should have been down here closer to the right side of the green where he can look at the way it came across the slope. >> the guy is used to winning, we've talked about it. 11 international victories on the asian, japan, korean tours, and he has won a tournament six consecutive years. so even though he's been introduced to america by getting his card, finishing in a tie for eighth at q school last year. >> and he shot 66 in the final round to do that under some pretty intense pressure. if you don't play that well, you're not on the pga tour. so this guy can handle it, there's no question about it.
6:32 pm
>> this for birdie. >> that same slope and it turns hard from right to left once it gets up on top. >> it looked g -- good. and he liked the looks of this. it had the look that he was going to maybe walk it in. who's away now? >> well, garrigus is away. and remember that he missed a very short putt in the playoff
6:33 pm
last year at the tournament of champions against jonathan byrd, one that was shorter than this. >> that was with a short putter, the 28 1/2-inch putter. he's gone to the 46-inch putter that he referred to earlier as dr. evil. how evil will that long putter be right now that he changed to in the desert at the humana challenge. here's a good test right now for birdie. >> this putt will move a little bit to his right. this is where i'd want to be putting right now. i think this is a great opportunity if he can hold this putt. >> it looked like it started just ever so slightly left of his aim. >> the luke chants have begun. birdie putt to not only win for the fifth time on the pga tour, but just a couple of weeks after
6:34 pm
rory mcilroy, the new sensation at the top of the world golf rankings list took it over from him, a chance to seize it right back. and, dottie, this is right below, staring right at it for the win. >> absolutely. less break than anyone has had, uphill. and you'd be hard pressed to find somebody with better tempo in the clutch than luke donald when it comes to putting. >> we talked about how well he has putted this week. and his stroke -- i love it, how he just holds the putter after he makes contact. there's no rebound to the stroke. >> there's your new number one, luke donald. wins the playoff and catches the 2012 transitions championship. didn't miss a putt inside ten feet today. nails the birdie winner from six
6:35 pm
and a half feet. just hit the perfect 7 iron out of the rough to set this up. >> that was an incredible shot. that putt just kind of sneaked in the left side. this one if it had been a few inches longer i'm not sure it would have gone in, but it was just good enough. >> just like that, luke donald is back on top. let's send it down to steve sapds. -- sands. >> you know, it's another step in the right direction towards hopefully gaining some more confidence and trying to win majors. you know, i feel like i have achieved a lot in my career. but this is perfect preparation. i have two weeks off and am looking forward to augusta. >> we've been talking about trying to get back to the number one spot. is it more difficult to get to number one or to stay at number
6:36 pm
one? >> i was a lot more nervous the first time thinking about trying to get to number one. it certainly wasn't my focus this time around. i was just focused on trying to win the tournament and it all worked out. >> congratulations. dan, back to you. >> thanks, steve. you heard it. next stop for luke donald, augusta, first major of the year. still hasn't won a major, but a big win for luke donald to seize the number one ranking. as you look at the fedex cup standings through the transitions now, rory mcilroy is still on top followed by kyle stanley and johnson wagner. luke donald has moved just outside the top ten into the 12th spot. reminder, tiger, phil an more tee it up at bay hill. coverage begins thursday and golf channel and continues saturday at 2:00 p.m. tonight starting at 7:00, an all-new dateline followed by brand new episodes of harry's law and "celebrity apprentice."
