in his stance, mark. [ cheers and applause ] it was going right at it. >> good shot. >> so the best phil can do is post 10 under. still wraps up another good. and now adam scott. get it up and down and 12 under in and get the trophy, right? >> and if he doesn't get it up and in he's got a playoff with bubba watson looks like. >> johnny, this is very much a hanging lie. so you have got to hope if you are an adam scott fan he hate at 16 in the bunker which was basically a shank. >> it is not the simplest shot. >> we don't want to totally forget about mcilroy who's at 10 under par and he could birdie the last hole and be a factor at
6:01 pm
11 under in a playoff. >> he is looking well left of the flag. >> pretty steep, huh? >> very steep. oh that's beautiful done. beautifully done. >> i would say if he had 10 balls from there, that would be at least one of the best two. >> and while all that was going on this was rory mcilroy off the tee. again needs a birdie and needs a miss coming up by adam scott. it could be a three-way playoff if mcilroy can somehow get a birdie here but this was headed right and that is going to make the proposition for a three even more difficult. that rattles around in the top of the palm fronds and there it is across the cart path. >> i was right there earlier today looking at that and that is no shot. >> so mickelson for his par before adam scott strokes his
6:02 pm
par attempt. and here is mickelson once again, right down to the wire here pretty much johnny. in the thick of it. as he's trying to become the oldest winner of a world golf championship event. >> mark, is this not too far off the line of adam scott's putt? >> this will help adam. that's a good one, johnny. >> the longest winless drought of his pga tour career is going to continue. nevertheless though he's not going to be too disappointed. i he's in contention. he can feel it coming to a point, mark, where he feels like a w is not far off. >> i don't think he'll be too disappointed. >> not too much break here. >> little slow. >> so a closing bogey 5 for
6:03 pm
mickelson. just two birdies on the day. round of 70. begins with season with three top five starts. and in with bubba watson, who is in at that 11 number and sign g ing autographs. here we go. this putt for back to back wins and remember, runner up, to bubba, at riviera. >> the only thing he could have asked for more was foil make it. i'm not sure phil's putt really helped him. you're right. you just can't give the hole away at all. hit it firm. >> we'll see if this stroke works with the short putter. [ cheers and applause ] >> got it. he's 2 for 2 in florida.
6:04 pm
we still have rory mcilroy back there. it would take a miracle hole out. >> what a blessed four that was. hitting that back and the little puffy area where it didn't kick off at much and then a magnificent kick shot. and his caddie david clark who is most likely going to end one two caddie flags in his first two starts and here's a a guy who's been out here for years and hasn't won with any player. and here rory mcilroy, the last guy who stands in the way of officially making adam scott a winner here in florida. >> he's got a window. just about his launch angle from here. 188. he'll have to start at the left edge of the green but the wind is blowing to the right. so could pull off a wonderful shot here. >> yeah. there is an opening.
6:05 pm
>> well this is going at the very right and going miss right i think. and so adam scott. >> projected now to climb to number 6 in the world. and what a roller coaster couple of weeks. makes two double bogeys in a span of three holes on the front nine. the winning putt. and with all the pressure on, with a conventional putting style that he had to adopt at the beginning of the year, adam got his money again. and the last two and a half decades only one player has won in consecutive weeks on the florida swing. tiger woods in 2001 when he won
6:06 pm
ar arnold's event, and the players. >> bubba watson, just congratulated. adam scott a very class act there by bubba. we saul sau a lot of wild shots going on out there. how would you describe the difficulty of doral today. >> very difficult. this is the blue monster. this is what trump and everybody wanted. they wanted tough like this. with the wind picking up like it did today, very difficult. 18, they put the tee all the way back. so it was a real test. >> you came close here before. you came close again. what is it about doral that fits your eye and your game? >> you know, i think it is just so difficult. but i can still play from the rough. you know, it is hard to hit a lot of fairways for anybody, not just me. but you can still play from it and right now i'm just seeing the shots so well and that's what i've been doing around here. i just know ki can play out of the little bit of trees and i'm just staying committed around
6:07 pm
the golf course even though it is really difficult. >> thanks a lot. >> we'll see bubba in a couple of weeks at bay hill along with adam scott. and there is the handshake. and congratulations to adam scott, who trails by six shots after the fifth hole today. played the final 13 holes in six under to put it a away.
6:08 pm
6:09 pm
rory mcilroy in a tie for third at the moment with his third at 18. at 10 under par. >> beautiful shot. >> really great shot. >> that is's going to keep him in that tie for third with danny willet. but this one got under way at the start of the day we remarked how mcilroy had been so good at putting away 54-hole leads. outright leads of the year, 6 of 8 and this is one of few that got away. >> a nice lead. four shots on the third role hole, and just sort of fell apart. to be honest with you. didn't make any putts and starting pulling those irons left and in big trouble. and just never really rebounded. just one birdie on the easy 16th hole. so players co-w-- >> so players to win on consecutive weeks on tour since 2009. horschel a couple of times.
6:10 pm
tiger woods. and adam scott the lay latest to go back-to-back and he's with steve sands. >> dan thank you. we're with the winner adam scott. and adamness last ye, last week quad and came back. and this week you start with two double bogeys and you get the win. what does say about your game right now. >> i think i've used my experience to my advantage the last couple of weeks and realize around the tough courses, although you never want quads and double, you are not out of it. i knew if i could just get a couple before the turn maybe i'll have a chance and everybody fell the right way for me today, especially up 18 for that ball to stay up. >> speaking of 18 we're going show the second shot right now. what did you see from beyond the tree. >> i hit it right where i aimed. i had to aim it right there because the tree was right in my line to go to the green. i thought the wind was strong
6:11 pm
enough but i hit it well enough i flew the hazard and i was so lucky for it to stay up inside the hazard. and when you are that lucky you better get them up and down. >> do you consider yourself right now the way you are approaching the game and the way you are playing it that if you play well, someone's got to come get you as opposed to you chasing someone else done down? >> well i feel that is where my game's been the last couple of weeks and where i'd like to keep it the next few weeks as well. but, you know, you have to push it so hard to beat the class of player out here now. really i can't believe i've won back-to-back but really a world golf championship is huge and i'll just keep pushing. >> all right. >> one shot clear of bubba. we'll see adam scott, bubba and
6:12 pm
rory mcilroy in a couple of weeks at bay hill. and this is the first time that adam scott has ever had the lead in the fedex cup standings. he zooms to the top over kisner, snedeker slips to third. and bubba watson continued to climb up today as well. the florida swing continues in the gulf coast of florida for the valspar championship. coverage begins thursday at 2:00 and continues saturday at 3:00 p.m. eastern on nbc. coming up next your local news. tonight's starting at 7:00/6:00 value is "the voice" followed by "dateline." so long from doral where adam scott takes the first two legs of florida.
