6:00 pm
jim: pretty attractive matchup coming up. ian: sure is. jim: two of the bright young stars of the game. two players born just two months apart. ian: jordan looking for his 10th victory before the age of 24, the end of next month and daniel berger looking for his third and two in the last three weeks. jim: so they both manage to make bunker saves at the 72nd. berger first. then spieth.
6:01 pm
and now they'll get the chance, once speeth signs the card, to play that 18th hole all over again with the tournament on the line in cromwell, connecticut.

6:03 pm
jim: we're back at the travelers championship and a playoff is coming up soon. jordan spieth and daniel berger will collide. daniel berger with a birdie at the 71st hole. there was a lot of action around that lake today. jordan had one over in that area that berger could watch. a putt that stopped him dead in his tracks. ian: it
6:04 pm
finishes. short par 415th. back around the lake at 17. 18 is such a good driving hole with the new bunkers. you never know what's going to happen here at the end. jim: they are scrambling. just relax. it will slip in there just fine. here we go. everybody feeling a little pressure here as we get ready for the playoff. well done. we're going to have a multiple winner out of this. one of these two will win for the second time this year and join this distinguished list. justin thomas with three. hideki with two. dustin with his three wins.
6:05 pm
and one of these two, again, will be the next name added to that list. multiple winner on the season. >> go, jordan! let's go, jordan.
6:06 pm
ian: it really is like just coming into the arena, isn't it? everyone anticipating the fight to start. jim: yes, the gladiatorial arrival of these two young titans and it truly has an audience here size-wise that matches the level of the talent. [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] ian: yes, seven coming out of the hospitality tent. they're all hanging out over the edges. the hill is aligned all the way back to the tee.
6:07 pm
jim: the playoff rotation shouldn't go on for a while. it will be 18 to start then 18 again and if necessary 17 then 18. peter: both players are going to have baggage at the 18th tee. daniel berger blew his tee shot out to the right and of course jordan mis-hit that lob wedge. so it will be interesting to see how this turns out the second time around. jim: do you give an advantage here to either player, ian? ian: i would say the advantage would be to daniel berger because he was so pumped up. unfortunately his drive was in the rough and he couldn't get a
6:08 pm
think he has the slight advantage. he's a little bit more positive mindset, i would believe, right now. jordan just made a couple of unnecessary mistakes and i'm so unaccused -- unused to seeing that from him. missed short putts. poor second shot at 18. >> daniel, you finished fist so you're going to get to draw first. but before we do, that we're going to play 18, 18, 17, 1, 1, 17. ok? >> ok. >> daniel, you draw first please.
6:09 pm
>> one? you're leading off. young man, play well. >> let's go, guys. jim: it's easy to imagine that these two are going to be spending a lot of time together over the next 15 to 20 years playing on national teams together. berger is that big of a talent if you didn't realize that already and of course we know that spieth is in rarefied air with what he's already done before his 24th birthday. berger turned 24 back in april. and this is a pair of players right here that you'd expect to see on presidents cup and ryder cup teams for a long time. in both cases. dottie: well, i think advantage to daniel berger here. he has the chance, being that first draw, to set the tone for this play. put the ball in play, put pressure
6:10 pm
opponent. jim: oh, overcompensate for what happened the first time? dottie: short of the bunker. thing -- thick lie. ian: one saving grace, he's on the right side of the fairway to the angle to the hole location. dottie: that is absolutely correct. he will have the ball significantly below his feet. ian: i'm surprised he didn't go hit some balls. it's been a while since he finished. jim: now jordan is setting up for that fade again. peter: a little less wind this time than the last. jim: oh, my goodness. he's over there too. peter: that's further left than daniel. ian: that may have
6:11 pm
treatment dottie: that ball hit that large hardwood squarely. ian: it's in the fairway but i remember many years back corey pavin was in a playoff here and he had to hit a wood for his second shot coming in here. that didn't carry the tree. apex of only 86 feet. peter: that's back when corey was playing against bubba watson, right? jim: that was a 2010 playoff here. that was a fortunate break for spieth this could have gone anywhere. ian: out of bounds, left. jim: it ricochets back into the fairway. all be it a long way back but it could have been game over. so both wild off the tee to open the playoff at the travelers championship. t yokera fees? what did you have in mind? i don't know. $4.95 per trade?

6:14 pm
ian: vs. 116 the first time around. jim: meanwhile, berger drove first and it was errant too. and that's not pretty either. peter: all right, this is a 5-iron. clean contact and a very good line. jim: looked very balanced. he's back in that same bunker again. peter: again, that was a full club short. ian: at least. peter: at least 20 yards short of where the hole is. ian: in his sixth career playoff on the pga tour is jordan. looking for his 1
6:15 pm
all. jim: let's see how far up in this bunker it goes. it hit on the embankment. it's going to be a little similar shot from the one he had before, 10 minutes ago. >> on the a in travelers. so it's going to be downwind slightly off the left. you're going to have to go further back. commit to the shot. jim: grant barry encouraging him to stay with the shot. dottie: a pitching wedge in his hand. the key number is 135 to the front.
6:16 pm
ian: that will just feed off the left edge. jim: still moving. ian: yeah, it's a pretty steep bank there. daniel has been in one playoff. one loss. jim: you take these two, you take regulation and now in the playoff. would you imagine that in four attempts between the two of them they wouldn't hit the green in regulation one time? ian: you couldn't paint that picture, that's for sure. fantastic crowds.
6:17 pm
think it's advantage jordan. jim: i was going to ask you. it might be a little better situation than what berger will face. he was a little further up in the bunker that first time around but basically tracking the same and flirted with it that first time. ian: believe it or not, a little less nerve in the bunker shot than there is on a chip shot and it will be interesting to see the type of chip shot daniel berger chooses there from the fringe. the lie looks reasonable. not as perfect as last time around. peter: ian, i have to set the record straight. we got bad information. the first time around jordan did hit a sand wedge from 116 and not a lob wedge. still came up short but it wasn't from club selection. ian: thank you, peter. peter: this one is sitting down just enough that it should take some of the spin
6:18 pm
land this a little bit short and let it run out to the hole. jim: right at it. right at it! he's done it again! just as he did at the john deere for his figures win. -- first win. ian: unbelievable! that's sportsmanship right there. jim: well, add that one to the list. the azinger chip and the olinbroken chip-in we spoke of. the long putt by notah begay and all these crazy things that have happened there
6:19 pm
might just top them off. ian: his first victory -- victory was with a holed bunker shot at the john deere. maybe wiz 10th with this one. jim: watch this right here. ian: maybe he has a better vertical than his brother. jim: who played basketball about an hour and a half from here at brown. great reactions. don't forget berger still has a shot to play here. berger had to give him aed in for an exceptional moment. ian: gladiators but good friends. dottie: good on jordan spieth quieting the crowd down. that was a real touch of class on his behalf. jim: berger is going to putt this, dottie. wouldn't it be something
6:20 pm
put it right on top of him? got to hole it or it's over. it's got a chance. wow, what a great effort. jordan spieth takes the title here. ian: fantastic effort by daniel berger. well, the fans got their money's worth today, jim. that's one for the record books. jim: no question. record crowds. ian: 10 wins before his 24th birthday. oh, and that ball was caught one-handed too. jim: yes, it was. number 10 looks like
6:21 pm
both won with bunker holeouts. ian: i love it. jim: with thousands ringing this 18th, they saw one of the shots of the year. peter kostis, down to you. peter: thank you. i'm here with jordan spieth. jordan, your very first victory on the pga tour was fueled by a holed-out bunker shot at 18 at john deere. your latest victory, the same result. unbelievable play today. >> thank you, it was a battle. got off to a great start and that putter let me down a little for most of the round. michael
6:22 pm
team ooh keeping me when it when i was going a little mental out there. we just wanted a chance. it was a great up and down in regulation. i got really lucky to have it hit the tree and into the fairway. i could hit it below the hole and at least try and force another playoff home -- hole. for the bunker shot to go in, that was awesome. i don't know if i'll ever have a moment like that again. peter: you got several good breaks today but champions take advantage of those breaks, which you did. this is your 10th victory on tour and you are now sandwiched between tiger woods, the youngest and jack nicklaus, the second youngest to win 10 events on the pga tour. how does that make you feel? >> that's incredible. it feels like we've been out here for a long time but it's only been i think four years. i feel very fortunate to play golf for a living. that was my dream
6:23 pm
to be able to kind of live for these moments and produce moments like, that i feel very lucky, very blessed. i wish my family was here. i miss them. but go home and enjoy this one, for sure. peter: congratulations on the phenomenal job. well done. dottie? dottie: peter, here with daniel berger. the reaction seeing jordan's hole out? >> it's just jordan doing jordan things. obviously i wanted to win but i'm kind of speechless right now. dottie: you've moved to eighth in the fedexcup for the overall earlier standings. how does this change how you finish the year? >> it gives me a legitimate shot to win the championship. if i keep doing what i've been doing i can see myself winning a couple more times before the end of the year. dottie: schedule whise what does it look like? jest >> i'm going to take off a couple of weeks and then play
6:24 pm
it from there. dottie: thank you so much. we'll see new moline. >> thank you. jim: he's as speechless as many around here. spieth moves into fourth position in the fedex custom standings. berger in eighth. tonight on cbs begins with "60 minutes", "ncis: los angeles" follows. "madam secretary," "cold black." it was interesting hearing jordan say i don't know if i'll ever be able to do something like that again. could have said that after the first one back at the john deere. he did it. so much symmetry in those shots. here you go. one of the great crowds you'll ever see got to watch one of the greats of the game. deliver in the clutch.
6:25 pm
ian: the putter went flying. the rake went flying. it was a three-foot vertical out of the bunker. he handled it well, didn't he? jim: you can't script it. it's just -- it was magic. second youngest player in the modern era behind tiger to get to 10 wins before his 24th birthday and we'll be back with more from the travelers after this word from your local station.
6:26 pm
jim: let's
6:27 pm
jordan looking for his first-ever win and it came right there. from out of the sand. and then today. in pursuit of number 10. his 10th win. ian: just perfect. jim: from out of the bunker again. well, it's a great victory. berger sensational too. great for the game when you have this kind of turnout and excitement. where do you think this takes jorden from here? this is his second win of the season. what a jolt. ian: unbelievable jolt for everybody watching. the fans here just got an amazing reaction from everybody and i think jordan goes on from here. he has to think back at those few missteps today on that inward half today, a couple of missed putts but
6:28 pm
pressure, sensational. jim: not exactly the way you would have thought that playoff would be played out with both driving the ball in trouble off the tee. and even jordan admitting that it was quite fortuitous the bounce off the tree that landed in the fairway. the flaherty with being in that bunker just 15 minutes earlier. ian: uh-huh, that helped. jim: one of the shots of the year right there, folks. we'll see you next week at the quicken loans national. it's been quite a day here. the travelers championship. for ian baker-finch and all the crew. jim nantz saying so long from cromwell, connecticut, where jordan spieth is the champion.
6:29 pm
6:30 pm
