jim: what's it like standing out there on a range and all you can do is just wait. just hope you don't hear a roar. nick: exactly. but you have to stay -- as you commented at the start, you have to stay in the same intensity. you can't go kissing the babies and thinking you're going to win. you just got to stay with it just for five more minutes to see what happens. if you need to click into that mode to go back to that 18th tee and start again, well so be it. jim: wife julie on the range with him. there you see the two tee shots. first we've got molder. >> he must have said something to upset these two. jim: sure looks like it, doesn't it? >> 202 yards left. jim: that's no fun back there. >> no. nick: ask dustin johnson. >> phil has 169 and keegan,

after a drive of 326 yards, just 155 in. jim: so he's 14 yards past phil. i love, love this look at 18. one of the great finishing hole theatres in the sport right here. nick: right, phil, just get the right trajectory and the right spine. >> 9-iron. nick: well, there's a surprise. >> 169 with the wind. nick: just wants the land it -- with a 9-iron, needs to land it 65. got to get it up there. this thing is the tiiest of little ridges in -- tiniest of little ridges. if he lands on that, it will just bite. >> he's pulled it. nick: yeah, over the top. it's the professional way of

getting that extra five yards out of it. he would have loved to have carved it. with a 9-iron in his hand, just goes straight at it. jim: he hasn't made a putt all day. maybe he's been saving it for the 18th. >> steve hale giving keegan bradley 155 and he has wedge in his hand. nick: if he keeps his pogture, maintaining that spineage, he could hit a tiny one-yard draw with the wedge. and it would get there if he stands up with it and comes out of it, he'll block it right. >> he hit it 185 yards with an 8-iron on the last. hard wedge should be fine. nick: got to turn over, i feel. if you chop it up, it won't get there.

>> picked it clean. it's a little right of the hole. jim: it's a beauty. got a very makeable putt for the tie. nick: right in that spot. it's the only spot you can come from. to make a 3 at 18. jim: i'm sure bill haas knows one of them has it in there one of them has it in there close. jim: there will be a crescendo here in a moment. just a few more steps as they will shower the final three

with appreciation and respect. jim: phil is just inches off the putting surface. i'm assume he'll putt it, but it is not one you see holed very often. nick: not pretty. it's the one-shot wonder.

jim: you talked about how you have all these nfl quarterbacks who are in the gallery today. from philip rivers to matt moore of the dolphins to tim tebow. maybe there's a little who knows? tebow-like moment coming up here on the 72nd. first we've got molder. and that can happen. nick: got a choice of two. it's so steep. there's jerry. jim: there is jerry west. got to be so proud of this tournament. and his contributions to it. speaking of quarterbacks, keegan bradley shortly after he won -- because we were talking about it during the broadcast, how much his hero. he wanted to play with tom brady. and then in fact he got a congratulatory text from tom after he won the pga. only later to meet him during the season.

actually wore brady's jersey on super bowl sunday when he was playing the waste management phoenix open. nick: on the 16th hole, you should clarify. jim: on the 16th. not the whole day. but tom just joined here at riviera. a new member. so there's a little tie here. nick: well, phil, can you pull a rabbit out of the bag? what do you think, david? >> i think if he pulls it out of anywhere, probably not going to be the bag. it would be more unusual than that. but it is phil. you just never know. nick: just a hard, slicing putt. look at that. 9%. jim: 26 feet, nine inches. last sunday, he holed three putts from outside this range on sunday. nick: and he's not legging it. we know that. he's going to try to line drive it all the way in to the back of the hole.

jim: it's got a chance. he's done it! whoa! nick: oh! jim: waited all day long for that one. nick: a first pump even from bones. wow, what a putt. one-shot wonder. jim: saved it for the perfect stage. >> wow, that was large. jim: still is it. nick: i think bill's heart beat just went up 50 notches there, i think. already said on the green he expected both guys to do it, so that's the most important thing. never be surprised. jim: we have a playoff. will it be between mickelson and haas or will bradley join them and make it a three-way game?

nick: just needs to keep this one high enough. bill haas had this line half the distance. only hit it right edge. he can just go a ball outside, hit it firm. it should just track. jim: there was some serious jumping on the side of that hill. i don't know what that does to the nerve of keegan bradley right now. nick: he's pretty focused. he knows how to just give it -- jim: can he do it too? nick: yes, yes, yes! jim: oh, how good is this? nick: got to give credit to bill haas. both guys are going to make 3. how about that? gosh. jim: six birdies all day long. you get to the final group, a must situation. and they both deliver the goods.

>> what did you say, we had seen six birdies out of the 73? what are the chances we'd see two out of the last three? jim: phil was first. nick: even with a bubble. but it trapped hard. held the line. smashed it in. jim: rolling around. pounding the ground. some of the best reactions you'll ever see. just look at the background. >> that's nice. jim: same gritted teeth action we saw last sunday when he holed that crucial par putt at 12. nick: that left hook to the kidneys. and bradley. jim: kidney comes right back on

top. nick: and he goes for the right-hand uppercut. fantastic stuff. look at this. looked like it was slowing down there, didn't it? two feet to go. it looked like a little something. wow. jim: that had to be so much harder after mickelson had made his. nick: that's pure intensity there. that's how you play with adrenaline, folks. jim: go sign the card. and then we'll get set for a playoff. and guess what, they're going back to 18. bill haas, you've got company. the mickelson family out in full force. going to be some playoff coming

had to hop across his line. he was charging down there. watch this, just two feet short. doesn't it look like it's just -- jim: thought it was out of steam, huh? nick: wow. jim: now bill and julie haas. still all smiles as they get set for a little more game set for a little more game here. jim: welcome back to the tower at 18. that was one of the great finishing scenes of regulation we've seen in a long, long time, nick. it really was. nick: we've had a treat the last couple weeks. but the important thing is, bill haas called it, so he's not surprised. it's not like oh, my goodness, this came as a mad shock, i was going to win this one. that's key. all those guys are going back to 18 with adrenaline in full flow. so it's going to be fascinating. i've got a feeling it's going

to end with another birdie 3 to win it. i don't think anybody's going to make a 5 here or a 4 to win this. i think it's going to be 3 to take it. jim: you've got three premier players about to battle. and again, here are the final standings in regulation. garcia, johnson, walker, lyle, they all end at five under. j.b. holmes finishes in the group at minus four. jim: those at three under, tied 11th, including defending champion aaron baddeley along with jim furyk, bubba watson, justin rose. tonight on cbs, "60 minutes," a report on why millions of americans are falling out of the middle class. the season premiere of "the amazing race," "the good wife," "csi: miami" all-new, only cbs. playoff coming up from riviera. every shot here can make a world of difference.

jim: again off the 72nd. mickelson had to make it. and that he did.

knocking knuckles, saying you go make yours, too. and that's precisely what he did. and more jumping for joy at 18 with another one. nick: i tell you what, that's only the 29th and 30th birdie on the 18th the whole week. so that's 600 goes, isn't it? 150 players. give you some idea how difficult 18 is, you get two in the last group. jim: bill haas, he didn't have to walk back up that hill. he just really had to make a slight turn and slowly make his way back. no reason to change your stride or your game face. if phil wins, the fedexcup standings would break like this. stanley would drop back to second. a keegan bradley win, stanley

would move to -- would stay on top. a bill haas victory would put bill in fourth position. again, we're talking about a pga champion here, the fedexcup champion, we're talking about a four-time major champion. nick: now they try and slow themselves down. all the adrenaline. phil ran up the steps up to sign his card. ran back down the steps. and now walking a little bit slower, trying to settle himself down. trying to take this playoff on. jim: keegan's wins last year, the two wins in his rookie year both came in playoffs. greg waddell, chairman and c.e.o. of the pga trust. jerry west. >> gentlemen, we're going to

play 18, 10, 14, and 18 in the playoff. mr. rick waddell, c.e.o. and president of northern trust is going to help us here. bill, you finished first, you'll draw first. phil, you'll be next. ok. phil is going to lead all. keegan you'll play second. nick: so bill picks first and he gets last. need to work on that, bill. jim: you would prefer the first go at it here? nick: i don't think it matters. i think these guys are all seasoned campaigners. the most important thing is control. just take that adrenaline down a notch. you've got to hit this fairway. that's the only way -- well, just about the only way you can make a birdie, maybe from the right-hand rough. but very unlikely from the left-hand rough.

left-hand rough. deep breath. >> that will work again. nick: loves it. a little shorter, i guess. jim: pretty close. pretty close. nick: absolutely beautiful. very important. nick: even got the gallery back at 18 to react seeing that drive in the middle of the fairway.

see his target. that's what he's working on. target, see the shot. and get on with it. yim jim he hammers it again. nick: loves it again. >> that one is nuked. nick: was that phil's ball he went bounding by? my goodness. jim: i think it's way down the highway past phil's. now haas. who's bier -- who's birdied it two times. nick: i think he loves that one as well.

these guys are seasoned campaigners. they know what to do. that's very impressive up 18. three stripe drives. >> it's time to award the january pga tour player of the month, presented by avis. with a win at the sony open, top 10s in each of his first three starts this season, johnson wagner captured 52% of the fan vote to win the prize. >> avis is proud to congratulate johnson wagner as the first pga tour player of the month. we applaud your extra effort and on behalf of avis, we'd like to donate $50,000 to the charity of your choice. >> thank you very much, tom. thank you to avis. thank you to all the fans that voted. i'm going to allocate half of the donation to the first tee, the work that they do with inner city children, bringing them to the game of golf is incredible. i'm also going to doe mate the

jim: we are back with a huge throng gathered here around the 18th at riviera country club. the northern trust open, the history of the tournament dates back to 1926 when they had 251 entrants in the first los angeles open. it was billed as a golfing classic, the biggest the west has ever known. so big that damon runyun was sent out to cover it from new york. $10,000 purse. light horse gary cooper was the victor. there have been years of great events here. this one already with what's unfolded with the last hole in regulation, it's going to rank up there with the best they've ever seen here in los angeles. now, phil is way back there, isn't he? what happened with that tee shot? >> well, his tee shot actually took a huge kick up in the air rather than forwards and came

up -- well, he's got 206 yards. he's a got 30 yards shorter than he was. nick: grabbing a 7-iron. >> it is downwind. jim: don't normally have to apologize for poking it out there 287 yards. but you've got keegan bradley now 34 yards past you. you can set the pace right here. if you can somehow hit a great iron shot. >> he's got 7. nick: he knows exactly where to land it. i'd go right at him. a little power fade in there. >> again, it's towards the right edge of the green.

jim: it's a safe play. >> it's not the worst. nick: i've got a feeling that was kind of right in between clubs there. jim: 6 and 7? nick: yeah. how can you jiggle a 6-iron? can't drop something into that corner. jim: i would think with all these birdies, being safe, middle of the green, not a bad position to be. nick: it's a straight up the middle putt. >> bill haas has got 179 yards. he's chosen a 9-iron. put it back in the bag and went back to the 8. nick: oh, good. good, good, good. this is a little bit chunky. nick: that sounded terrible. oh, my goodness, bill. >> that's what happens when you think you have too much club and you quit on it. you just don't commit to it. nick: you just don't turn

enough on the way back. try and save it with the hands and he hit it fat. so the first man to feel it. >> how does 160 yards grab you? and this is another wedge. nick: did he have 56 last time? >> 59 last time. nick: so he's fine. he might be able to do even better. the other one he just stood up on. if he just goes for a solid draw, he'll get it back there. >> actually, a tide wide. nick: yeah, so this is a dig. this is a big dig now. factoring in the adrenaline. >> picked it clean again. it's on a similar line. nick: wow, how does it keep going? how did it go forward with a wedge? jim: that's not an easy putt

from back there. it's not like a three-putt territory, but it's not holed that often. nick: yeah, it's breaking so hard to pick the apex is so difficult. jim: for a moment there, i thought wait a minute -- nick: i thought it was going to bite and be three feet. jim: it could have been close. jim: i'm a-- nick: i'm amazed. must have just landed it on the downslope. >> he may have hit that a touch thin. nick: even if he did, i would have thought thin would still be spinning. anyway -- jim: if the playoff is extended beyond this 18th hole, they'll head over to the 10th. and then after that, it's 14 and then back into the rotation if necessary starting all over again at 18.

the surprising shot there was the one by haas. he came up short of the green in regulation but still managed to make his 4. so it's not unfamiliar territory, although it's a different angle. far different shot angle than what he saw about an hour ago. >> yeah, he's a little bit closer to the groan, jim. he went with his 56-degree last time and looks like he has the same club in his hands right now. nick: there's a lot of feet in on that left-hand side of that green, isn't there, peter? >> yeah. you really have to be precise how this ball lands. just like phil's drive bounced up in the air. you catch this just the slightest bit wrong and it can bounce the wrong direction. nick: yeah. you've got to be brave. you've got to throw this a yard further than you really think. oh. oh, oh, oh. jim: sounded a little
