of a shot that will chase back there. i don't think he can fly it to the hole. ian: a long way back now for daniel berger. he has to use the slope of the green and bring it in right-left. dottie: good lie with a 6-iron. starts at the center of the green. not turning over, but a good shot. ian: 60 feet away though. dottie: left himself so far back. ian: 167 to the hole. dottie: a little breeze has come up helping and from the left. ian: a par leaves him at second. a birdie ties first.

get that first victory on tour. bill: at -- patrick grew up here in the midwest at avon, indianapolis. west of indianapolis about 250 miles. he was a two-time indiana state champion in high school. graduated third in his class. so a couple of bright guys in bryson dechambeau and patrick. of course, we talked about the special place in patrick's heart that the john deere classic holds. he first takened the tournament when he was here for a junior event as a 15-year-old. spend -- spent time with a friend walking inside the ropes. got his first sponsor's exemption here in his sophomore year at stanford. again on a sponsor's exemption. he finished tied for 15th. ian: and he has this shot to tie and force a playoff. n:

approve of mr. trump's job performance so far. the president's disapproval rating has jumped to 58%. the president shrugged off the poor grades with a tweet quote will abc "washington post" poll even though almost 40%, is not bad at this time. whereas just about the most inaccurate poll around election time. errol barnett has more from the weekend white house, mr. trump's golf club in new swrersee. >> reporter: protestors opposed to the u.s. women's open being held at president trump's golf course took their message to the roads of bedminister, new jersey, this weekend. >> but this morning, mr. trump thanked his supporters and accused so called fake news media of scorning his son. >> very troubling. and obviously moves our whole investigation to another level. >> reporter: donald trump, jr.'s meeting at trump tower last year which included top campaign staff and russians linked to the kremlin is being

vice chair of the senate intelligence committee mark warner. >> i want to hear from everyone in that meeting, and get their version of the story. what we've seen is a constant effort to hide contacts with russians. we've seen this pattern repeat itself. >> reporter: the president was also dealt a setback this weekend on his wish to repeal obamacare. leader mitch mcconnell delayed an upcoming vote on the senate bill while john mccain recovers from emergency surgery to remove a blood clot above his left eye. the better care act needs almost unanimous gop support which it does not yet have. >> for all republicans' complaints about the death spiral of obamacare, they don't fix it, they simply subsidize with taxpayer money which i don't agree with at all. >> this bill would make sweeping and deep cuts in the medicaid program which has been a safety net program on the books for more than 50

6:14 pm
president's flesh and blood, who operates outside of the white house. so how does the white house defend somebody who they're not really, it's not their job to defend him. but where everything that happens with respect to the president's son, does have a real impact on the president and his agenda. >> quijano: well, i want to ask you about health care as well, john. senate majority leader mitch mb con el announced saturday that the senate will delay a vote on the health-care bill while senator mccain recovers from surgery. how do you think the delay will affect the bill's chances in the senate? >> well, the problem is that there is a very narrow margin that mitch mcconnell has to get. he can only lose two republicans to get this bill passed and he's got a lot more than two who have problems with it. that is not really going to be solved by more time. they may find a way to twist some arms and suffer some more goodies but we heard from rand paul today that he's not going to sign on so they can only afford to lose one more. >> quijano: john dickerson in washington for us, thanks very much. iran said today it has l

for his jailers. >> for much of the 18 months i was in prison my iranian intergators told me that "the washington post" did not exist. that no one knew of my plight, and that the united states government would not lift a finger for my release. >> reporter: in fact, there was a global effort to free rezain culminating in his release in january 2016. rezaian was released as part of a prisoner swap during the obama presidency. the terms of the deal were criticized by then candidate trump, now it will be the trump administration that has to wrestle with exactly how to deal with this latest imprisonment, elaine? >> quijano: debra patta, thanks. flooding is still a major problem in the upper midwest. in northern illinois the fox river is expected to keep rising until tuesday. people in the area say it is the worst flooding they've seen in decades. near
