7:00 pm
peter: bringing it in nice and low. ian: spin. ok. it's inside 10 feet. and it's a little quick from that side. so he has that to get to 14 under and go three shots ahead of jason day, looking to complete the year of first time major champions. jim: it's 7:00 in thet. jim nantz, sir nick faldo. the cbs golf team, coming down to the wire here at baltusrol golf club in springfield, new jersey. jimmy walker, 48th in the world now but he had a span a couple of years ago, three wins in eight tournaments and at that point he rose to number 10 in the world, his highest ever ranking. he's won five times in his career.
7:01 pm
a win in san antonio, two wins in california, including pebble beach and two wins at waialae in hawaii -- hawaii. there's phil mickelson, the last champion to emerge here at baltusrol. the 2005 pga. the 86 names that have made it to the final 36. [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] jim: danny will let, who won the first major of the year and now about to find out who wins the other side of the book end of the majors. you look at what jimmy's done. he's made some par saves. holed the shot at the 10th.
7:02 pm
this is his 58th career round in major championship golf. he's never been bogey-free in a round and that's what he is to this point. nick: but he's an intense guy and you have to get your intensity right but always be relaxed with it and i think that's been the key this week. he's been like a little volcano at times boiling and this week he's got everything absolutely spot on. found the tempo this morning in the second nine and it's carried him through jim: if anything is going to change. this is one swing that could perhaps alter the outcome. dottie: a 2-iron on the way from 254, playing 260. nick: he's screaming at it. begging. jim: oh, my goodness. nick: unbelievable! how can you hammer an iron that far and that straight? that is incredible.
7:03 pm
close he is. nick: wow. ian: jimmy walker backed off twice. he certainly heard that. after the commotion of jason day's shot. just 550 yards or so away. he backed off, regrouped and he's knocked it in to go three in front. it held its line. it was a quick one, he couldn't be too aggressive and it just
7:04 pm
peter: he knows that was important, ian, but i don't think he knows it might be for a one-shot lead. ian: incredible putt from jimmy walker. just at the right time and he knows it. impressive stuff. let's check in with bill macatee. bill: with henrik stenson after 71 today and you were watching the monitor. those were a couple of clutch shots there and a clutch putt. >> now it doesn't really matter what jason does if jimmy can make five up there. important putt for him on 17. bill: it was such an mush -- unusual day today. what was your game plan coming out? >> i tried to play the same as before but it's tough to play 36 in one day. the conditions didn't really suit my game.
7:05 pm
play a little 9-iron on 15, winged it over the lot and made double and that was the end of it. bill: henrik, thank you very much. 71 today. let's go back to the 18th. jim: well, jimmy walker over with andy sanders. nick: is the putt back at 17. jim:t and the roar that had erupted. he had to back off twice. and he still holed it. nick: yeah. i was just thinking, jimmy, he'd love to have one of his telescopes on the 18th tee to
7:06 pm
going to play here? jim: don't forget, he hit it in the water here off the tee. approaching the 18th green, the 2015 champion jason day who looks disappointed it's not closer. nick: no, i think he looked at the leaderboard and i think he saw that jimmy walker has been posted obviously at 14 so he knows it's still in his hands. jim: could have been a combination of both because he had to have heard the roar. tee. peter: he doesn't know what jason is facing here but he's going with the iron. nick: i like that because how are you going to thread it between the water and -- three shots there and five to win. jim: like henrik stenson said. even if day makes the eagle, all walker would need was a five. so here was that reaction.
7:07 pm
leaderboard. jim: or he saw the placement of the second shot. nick: no, he thought it's over. well, not quite, quite but you can still hole it and you've still got to make five to win for the first time. nothing easy about it. you have to lay it up perfectly and don't want to overspin a wedge and don't want anything more than a few feet to win for your very first major. jim: if jimmy goes on to win this, we know all the story lines for the year in major championship golf as far as at the top, first time winners. it's going to be fascinating to
7:08 pm
who finished second. jordan spieth, jason day. phil mickelson and the three that tied at oakmont, including jim furyk, along with shane lowry and scott piercy. nick: yeah, that's a good group. jim: the field these first time champions held off is one of the points. nick: these leaders have all played on their own in their own group watching each ot you and your caddie and obviously when you work really well together, any of those four pairings for four individuals with their caddie partners and they've really battled well. this will be a fantastic moment if you can pull this off for the first time for jimmy walker. jim: emiliano up on the green
7:09 pm
and just his fifth major start. and this would get him, if he holes it, this would put him into the top 10. went 36 today and is going to end up playing the double rounds at plus one. 73-68 when he tap that is next n just look at this massive turnout. all the way down the 18th lined many people deep. boy, would jason love to get the start of this round over again because it was a slow start for
7:10 pm
jim: chance to hit reclub thronge move it. and again, you never know in this game. everything on the line. a career-defining moment if fairway. if you're pressed to do something after jason holes the putt. that's the one thing that could really apply some heat here to the end. and an eagle it is!
7:11 pm
jim: he did look down the fairway. that is something else. peter: i can tell you from the fairway that jimmy walker knows he needs five to win. he's got next shot. nick: he just wants to move it the 200 and then the 88. peter: i would think the only way he could get in trouble is a really bad lie going for it, missing the green. nick: i would have thought so. at least you know you can control a wedge and you're not going to get a fly. the last thing you want to do is
7:12 pm
third. jim: jason goals 67-67 today. nick: oh, wow. peter: oh, he's taking out the 3-wood. nick: we both don't like that one. jim: rickie fowler. past president of the pga. jordan spieth. ellie and little lucy, born last november. dash, who ran up onto the green ok, guys, what is this decision all about? what do you think? nick: does he think he can bust it on the green, peter? peter: i can't tell if that's his 3-wood or his 5-wood. he may still be playing -- laying up. we're just going to have to wait and see. nick: maybe he's thinking of putting it in one of those bunkers for safety.
7:13 pm
oh, my goodness. nick: not what we -- jim: why? nick: a little bit of why, i agree. jim: i think a whole lot of why. peter: the first sign of pressure is poor decision making. nick: maybe he believed he could scramble it or just scrape the scramble it or just scrape the front edge. nick: how good was that iron shot and that putt? incredible. up and down from 256 with an iron and a putt. fantastic. just to keep the pga championship.
7:14 pm
we've moved into prime time, past 7:00. time for a little nighttime drama here. nick: golfers are good at drama. nick: the big question is can jimmy walker just manage to somehow hit this third shot -- it's actually just below our tower. i can see it from here. we're looking down on it. looks e just needs to get it on the dance floor and two-putt for the title. nick: you have to forget about the flag and just jump it safely to land almost pin high and go 20 feet past. you're not going to do a mickelson lob in this case in case you mis-hit it. i definitely think now he was
7:15 pm
safe play. but this is going to be a nervy lob shot. jim: no question. peter kostis, you were back there when he decided to go with that club selection. what were your thoughts? peter: it's not the easiest of lay-ups with an iron but i thought that he would be laying back and taking his chances with a wedge like he did back on 17 and take any possibility of a really horrendous lie out of the equation. jim: you see the grass is kind of going with him toward the green. it's been trampled down. hey that is -- they has to -- had to push the gallery back a bit. nick: yeah, go and have a wander. have a walk up there and see where you need to land it. jim: peter, as many times as you've watched jimmy walker
7:16 pm
the shot that he faces right now? peter: i would say it's not the strength of his game but it's not really a weakness either. he's fairly competent around the greens. it's going to depend on the lie. nick: plus, there's a load of commotion this close to the gallery. people hustling into position. nick. i would expect him to take it left of the flag. give himself 20, 25 feet. nick: exactly. don't try and pull off a miracle shot. peter: meanwhile, robert streb is back in the fairway 111 yards away to try and play his third. he found the fairway bunker off the tee. nick: it's a little below the green, eight feet down, but he's
7:17 pm
all week long. we're probably getting more jangled than he is. make sure you strike it nicely. it's going to land within 10 feel. jim: it's a 33-yard par 3. make par to win, right? nick: yeah, for a wonderful big, fat, shiny trophy. jim: here's streb. peter: just a little knockdown wedge from 111. jim: come on back. streb will have that putt to finish in a tie for fourth and if you finish in the top four, you qualify for the masters. he probably isn't aware of that but there is a lot ride agoen that one. -- riding on that one.
7:18 pm
move some photographers back. nick: give them a little bit of breathing space. peter: this is a good enough lie that he should be able to make clean enough contact to guarantee that he gets it up on the tier of the green. jim: put it on the green, two-putt and you're the champion. it's going to be on the green. nick: up the top side. that's all i think he want told do. -- wanted to do. still has an awful lot of nerve level left to it to cozy that one down to tap in jim: how are your nerves right now? nick: i always get a little
7:19 pm
>> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the green, from kansas, robert streb! and please welcome, from boerne, texas, jimmy walker! jim: it's still walker's turn. nick: he's seen the putt come down the hill a couple of times. it's just a simple left to righter. nothing different about it. no different pace from any other green. it's just all about your touch
7:20 pm
minutes ago hole a putt from right in that area for an eagle. maybe he can think back to 2009. this wasn't an easy riled to being a good player on the pga tour, to be a five-time winner just trying to keep his card. he had to go through the web.com a couple of times. he had a putt back in 2009 at the disney tournament and it wasn't a short putt but on the 72nd green to finish number 125 on the money list and he made it and after that his career took off. i guarantee you there was a lot of nerves that time. peter: he's been rock solid, jim and nick, on his three, four, five-footest all day long but i can also tell you that he would like something significantly
7:21 pm
nick: three feet. jim: this would win it. to go ahead and close the door if he makes it. easy. nick: yeah, no guarantees in that one. jim: what's that look like down there, peter? peter: it's a good three feet. jim: jason is going to go out and just view it with his own eyes and forget the monitor.
7:22 pm
jim: it's getting so dark that if he happened to miss it and this went to a playoff, it's a three-hole aggregate playoff. nick: they wouldn't finish. jim: streb, to go to the masters next year. boy, that was way off. peter: he just couldn't see that nick: yeah. jim: and what about that affecting what jimmy has from three feet? peter: i don't think he's got much break in his. he's pretty much coming down the fall line. should be maybe inside right edge. nick: yeah, at least he saw it go past on the first putt. jim: streb finishes with stenson and kaymer in a tie for seventh. and now this entire championship
7:23 pm
nick: i have good news for him, it's 2'11". it's a serious one, though. just see it go in and just rock your shoulders. jim: there's your scheamp! a major champion for the first time, jimmy walker. nick: the astronomer shoots for the stars now. we knew he had it in him.
7:24 pm
jim: his wife erin and the kids. >> oh, my gosh. jim: the practice green. nick: that's what you have to do, isn't it? that was fantastic. great quality golf. kept his nerve. look how consistent he was through the day. very impressive. >> well done, mate. thank you so much. all right, dash, come on, let's
7:25 pm
nick: he's not so sure. now he's got to gather his o-- emotions for a few more minutes, sign that scorecard and that's an awesome feeling. >> thanks, guys. thank you. thank you. thank you. jim: jordan. rickie again.
7:26 pm
sports minship again, as it so often is in this game, on full display. jim: well, it got suspenseful at the end, didn't it? team since 2008. andy was a great collegiate golfer at houston when jimmy was at baylor and andy's playing days cut short. he has m.s. and jimmy gave him the job back eight years ago. they're a phenomenal team. in 2002 they came out of sectional qualifiers.
7:27 pm

7:41 pm
stood up and said, "i sentence you to die." 30 years later, no one had the decency to say, "we sorry for what took place." >> sharyn alfonsi: petermann glacier in greenland is one of the largest glaciers in the arctic circle, and one that's experienced dramatic melting. althoughis dangerous environment, it has drawn some of the world's leading climate scientists to study its ice sheath and look at its effects on the ocean. we watched as they attempted a first-ever look at what's happening 300 feet below the ice. >> bill whitaker: these are all your kids? >> these are all my kids. >> whitaker: that's right. they are all her kids. >> ? we are family!

7:46 pm
>> scott pelley: about ten times a month now, an innocent person is freed from an american prison. they're exonerated, sometimes after decades, because of new evidence, new confessions, or the forensic science of dna. there is joy the day that justice arrives, but we wondered, what happens the day after? you're about to meet three people who have returned to life from unjust convictions. as we first told you in january, death row. and he remembers, too vividly, the alabama electric chair and the scent that permeated the cell block when a man was met by 2,000 volts. hinton waited his turn for nearly 30 years until this past april. that's when ray hinton stepped out of the shadow of execution, taking the first steps that he
7:47 pm
what was that moment like? >> ray hinton: as though i was walking on clouds. i wanted to get away, in case they changed they mind, you know. >> pelley: you still didn't believe it. >> hinton: i was not going to allow myself to really believe that i was free until i was actually free. >> pelley: free to visit his mother, who went to her grave believing her son ul the cemetery was hinton's first destination. and he was startled by a world that had moved on without him. >> hinton: we headed toward the graveyard, and a voice come on and said, "at two-point-so-many miles, turn right." and i said, "what the hell? who is that?" and he said his gps tracker. i knew i didn't see no white
7:48 pm
in that car and what is she doing in this car. man, come on. >> pelley: any voice tended to be a surprise. on death row, hinton spent most of every day alone. after 30 years inside, mostly by yourself, did you worry about coming back out into the world? >> hinton: you get out and you just out. if you don't have a place to live or money or whatever, you ask yourself, "what am i going to do?" but my best friend stuck by me for 30 years. and he had already told me, "whenever you get out, you come live with me and my wife." >> pelley: what did you have to learn after you got out? >> hinton: i'm still learning. i'm still learning that i can take a bath every day. i'm still learning that i don't have to get up at 3:00 in the morning and eat breakfast.
7:49 pm
not always what we think it is. >> pelley: ray hinton's life was never what he thought it would be after 1985, when he was misidentified by a witness who picked him out of a mug shot book. his picture was in there after a theft conviction. when police found a gun in his mother's house, a lieutenant told him that he'd been arrested in three shootings, including the murders of two restaurant managers. >> hinton: i said, "you got the wrong guy." whether you did it or don't." he said, "but you going to be convicted for it. and you know why?" i said, "no." he said, "you got a white man. they going to say you shot him. going to have a white d.a. we going to have a white judge. you going to have a white jury, more than likely." and he said, "all of that spell conviction, conviction, conviction." i said, "well, does it matter that i didn't do it?"
7:50 pm
saying that. but hinton was convicted at age 30. he was 57 when the u.s. supreme court ruled nine to zero that his defense had been ineffective. a new ballistics test found that the gun was not the murder weapon. >> hinton: 30 years ago, a judge proudly stood up and said, "i sentence you to die." 30 years later, no one had the sorry for... we sorry for what took place." no one have said it. >> pelley: what did the state of alabama give you to help you get back up on your feet? >> hinton: they dropped all charges and that was it. >> pelley: no money?
7:51 pm
>> hinton: nothing. no. >> pelley: and that is where many states are failing the growing number of exonerated prisoners. it turns out, in alabama, if ray hinton had committed murder and was released on parole, he would have been eligible for job training, housing assistance, and a bus ticket home. but most states offer no immediate help to the innocent who's convictions can be embarrassing because of misconduct or incompetence by >> bryan stevenson: you can't traumatize someone, try to kill someone, condemn someone, lock someone down for 30 years, and not feel some responsibility for what you've done. >> pelley: attorney bryan stevenson worked on ray hinton's case for 16 years. stevenson started the equal justice initiative, one of a growing number of legal organizations overturning false convictions. >> stevenson: they need support- - they need economic support,
7:52 pm
mental health care. they need to know that their victimization, their abuse has been taken seriously. >> ken ireland: it was just absolutely unimaginable and i couldn't even explain the horror of it. >> pelley: ken ireland lost 21 years. he was misidentified by witnesses who collected a $20,000 reward. convicted in a 1986 rape and murder, dna proved his innocence. >> good morning. >> good morning,. perspective of an innocent man who's done hard time, the governor put ireland on connecticut's parole board. >> at some point in your life, sir, you have to step up. >> pelley: so this is your new cell? >> ireland: well, yeah, for eight hours a day. >> pelley: it took five years to get this job. at first, he lived with his sister and he found work as a counselor for troubled kids. >> ireland: i got a little small apartment in town. i mean, there was the nights where i just barricaded myself
7:53 pm
just thinking, you know, someone's going to come kick down my door and drag me back. >> pelley: you slept in a closet? >> ireland: yeah, yeah, a few times, i have. >> pelley: are you over that now, six years later? >> ireland: yeah, i don't have them issues now. it gets easier and easier every day. >> pelley: one thing that made it easier was connecticut's new law that compensates the wrongly convicted. a year ago, ireland was the first to get a check. what did the state give you? >> ireland: $6 million. >> pelley: $6 million! >> ireland: that's more than most states are giving. >> pelley: well, it comes to something like $300,000 a year for every year you spent in prison. and you say it's not worth it? >> ireland: oh, absolutely not. absolutely not. they could give me $5 million for every year and it still wouldn't be worth it. >> pelley: ken ireland was fortunate, if you can call it that. many states offer no compensation at all. one is julie baumer's home, michigan.
7:54 pm
you lost? >> julie baumer: everything. everything. my life is nothing as it was. >> pelley: in 2003, baumer was a mortgage broker raising her sister's baby. he became ill, so she took him to an emergency room. doctors there suspected the boy had been shaken until his brain was damaged. baumer was convicted of child abuse. she was in her fifth year in prison when new evidence showed that the boy had suffered a natural stroke. she was retried, acquitted, and the judge apologized. after she was released, for a time, she was homeless. how did you start over? >> baumer: it was very, very, very rough. you start from the bottom reclaiming your identity. i didn't have an i.d. and then, after i jumped over that hurdle, then you start applying for jobs. and then you have to go through "okay, well, now there's a five gap... year gap on your re?sume?. why is this?" and then, you tell your
