in regulation,

but under the circumstances,

a very solid shot.

BRANDEL:
If T.K. Oh was looking for a gift

from an inexperienced Luke,

he didn't get it.

T.K. Oh a nearly impossible pitch.

He's looking at a tight flag,

the green is running away from him,

not to mention the water.

Anything short of hitting that flagstick

and he's probably going swimming.

BRANDEL:
Plain and simple here, Kelly.

He needs to play away from the hole.

And it's a pretty safe bet that

he's gonna have a longer birdie putt

than Luke's 8-footer.

KELLY:
The ultimate test for T.K. Oh,

but I wouldn't put it past him.

He's done it before.

BRANDEL:
Look at the way

he's sizing this up.

It almost looks like-

and he is, I think,

gonna go right at this hole.

This absolutely makes no sense to me.

If he doesn't hole this,

it's very likely that this ball's

gonna run off of the green.

KELLY:
This would really

be something.

He's got to aim

right for the flagstick.

Anything short of perfect here,

he's looking at bogie at best.

That's if he's lucky enough

to avoid the water.

BRANDEL:
The only way

to pull this shot off on that line

is with a lot of speed, a lot of spin,

and he has to land it in an area

about as big as a dinner plate.

KELLY:
And it looks good.

It's got a chance.

Didn't go in. Remarkable!

BRANDEL:
He's unlucky, Kelly,

that that ball didn't go in,

but lucky that it stayed on the green

and gave him about

a 15-foot putt up the hill,

and maybe he can put

the pressure on Luke.

KELLY:
And look at him.

He's not even fazed.

This is a makeable putt for T.K. Oh.

Is this where experience pays off?

BRANDEL:
Generally speaking,

first-in in a playoff wins.

And if he makes this, I promise you,

that hole will look a lot smaller to Luke.

KELLY:
How many times has T.K. Oh

been in this exact spot

and emerged victorious?

It's that mental edge

that makes him

the great player that he is.

CROWD:
Oh!

T..:
Ooh!

KELLY:
He thought he had that one.

BRANDEL:
T.K. Oh's tee shot

left him with a lot of stress.

His second shot left him

with a lot of work.

And now it's Luke

who has the work to do,

and T.K. Oh no longer has control

of his own fate.

That control lies with Luke Chisholm.

KELLY:
It was a great par

for T.K. Oh just to stay in it.

But now the door is open

for Luke Chisholm

to win the Texas Open.

BRANDEL:
One can only imagine

what's going on in the mind

of Luke Chisholm right now.

Two weeks ago his career was over,

and now he is one putt away

from taking the Texas Open

and beating the best player in golf

in the process.

JOHNNY:
Luke knew this putt

was meaningless

in the big picture.

He was now answering

to a higher calling.

It was time to go to a place

beyond tradition,

to a place of buried lies

and unearthed truths.

A revolution had begun within Luke's soul.

He had a purpose and a calling

that went beyond any scoreboard.

- What?

- It's kind of a putter.

JOHNNY:
He saw, felt, trusted,

and stroked the putt of his life.

Utopia is defined as a place

of mythical perfection,

but I knew differently.

Utopia is indeed real.

It's a place where

the voice of truth resides

and eternal trophies line the shelves.

A place where there are no accidents.

I guess you're asking yourselves

whether or not he made the putt.

The better question is,

does it really matter?

How can a game have such an effect

on a man's soul?

WOMAN:

Feel your eyes

On me

Shine your light

On me

I'll catch your fall

Struck a match, the rest is buried

Wishin' I could write this story

Like a star, you float into the air

Feeling it all

As the wind blows

Feeling it all

As the time goes

Do you feel my eyes

right there on you?

Morning light

Brings me

To your side

Skin heats

I breathe it all

On a train, the tracks are hazy

Through the fog our voices carry

Evening falls, but you're in perfect view

Feeling it all

As the wind blows

Feeling it all

As the time goes

Do you feel my eyes

right there on you?

Quiet all, live in silent days

Steady fall for you

Feeling it all as the wind blows

Feeling it all as the time goes

Do you feel my eyes

right there on you?
