PREVIEW SHOW WITH MARK
ROSEN.
AND KICK AFTER AT 7:30.
THIS IS ON CHANNEL 4. IT IS THE
FINAL DAY OF
PRACTICE.
BOY, THEY PRACTICE A LOT FOR
REUD DER CUP.
AMERICANS AND YOUR PEEPS HERE
OUT AT HAZELTINE.
IT IS A BIG DEAL.
ALI LUCIA IS THERE ALL WEEK
AND WE FIND HER THERE ONCE
AGAIN.
IT IS DIFFERENT THAN THE
PREVIOUS PGA EVENTS.
WE ARE ACTUALLY IN THE PGA
OF AMERICA TEANT TENT.
AND -- -TENT AND THIS WAS TAKEN
THE LAST TIME TEAM U.S.A.
WON
AND IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.
THEY ARE HOPING FOR A LITTLE
REDEMPTION OUT HERE IN CHASKA,
MINNESOTA.
WE WILL TELL YOU HOW THE COURSE
HAS CHANGED AT HAZELTINE.
IF YOU WERE OUT HERE IN
2009.
THE HOLES MAY LOOK DIFFERENT.
THEY DON'T FOLLOW THE SAME
PATH.
THE FIRST FOUR HOLES ARE THE
SAME AND THE REST OF THE FRONTS
NINE WILL CONSIST OF HOLES.
14 THROUGH ONE.
AS FOR THE BACK NINE.
IT BEGINS WITH THE ORIGINAL
HOLELESS BEFORE JUMPING BACK TO
THE ORIGINAL HOLES.
FIVE THROUGH NINE.
I SPOKE WITH THE HASTE SELL
TEEN GOLF PRO ABOUT
THE -- HAZELTINE.
AND THE BIGGEST THING THAT
DROVE THE DECISION IS FOR
SPECTATORS.
THE 16th HOLE IS A
PICTURESQUE HOLE.
THAT IS THE NORMAL ROUTING.
THEY CAN'T GET A LOT OF PEOPLE
OVER IN THE AREA.
THEY DECIDED TO SWITCH IT.
AND THAT'S WHERE THE MATCHES
ARE WON DURING THE RYDER CUP.
OUR 16th HOLE DOWN BY
HASTE SELL TEEN.
PICTURESQUE.
AND WE CAN'T GET A LOT OF
PEOPLE TO SEE THE HOLE.
WE START LOOKING AT.
IF THAT'S WHERE THE IT MIGHT
END, WE WANT A LOT OF PEOPLE TO
SEE THE MOMENT.
SO WE WHIPPED OUT THE LAST FIVE
HOLES AND NOW THAT IS NUMBER 7
AND THE SEVEN POLE BECOMES THE
16th HOLE AND THE 16th HOLE
HAS SO MUCH ROOM FOR THE
SPECTATORS AND WE WILL GET
DRAMA AND IT IS A REACHABLE PAR
FIVE AND TWO.
WATER IN FRONT OF THE GREEN.
WHEN THEY GO FOR IT IN TWO, IT
IS DRAMATIC TO SEE WHO GOES FOR
IT AND WHO SWIMS.
Reporter: HE TOLD ME THEY
DID REROUTE THE COURSE IN 1999
IN BROOKLINE, MASSACHUSETTS.
AND WE WILL GO OVER THE
SCHEDULE AND WHAT IS ON HERE AT
HAZELTINE.
FIRST PRACTICE ROUNDS IS AT
8:00 A.M.
THEN THE CAPTAIN MATCHES START
AT NOON.
AND ENDS AT 2:45.
OPENING CEREMONY IS TODAY.
THAT IS AT 4:00.
ALL TO CELEBRATE THE
41st RYDER CUP AND TEAM USA
WAS IN MINNEAPOLIS LAST NIGHT
HAVING A NICE DINNER AT ARIA.
DOES TIGER PLAY IN THE
CAPTAIN'S MATCH OR WHAT IS THE
CAPTAIN'S MATCH.
I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT WHO IS
BEING GROOMED FOR THAT.
SORRY TO PUT YOU ON THE
SPOT.
YOU BOUGHT SOME OF THE
MERCHANDISE.
THEY HAD TO ACTUALLY CLOSE.
HERE IS THE FINGER.
THERE YOU GO.
I HEARD THEY HAD TO CLOSE
THE TENT.
SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE.
THEY ARE OVERWHELMED BY THE
CROWDS AND THAT MERCHANDISE
TENT.
IT IS ENORMOUS.
ALL THAT IS LEFT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT COST
SHAKOPEE.
$30.
60.
THIS IS 5-DOLLARS TO A
CANCER CARE CHART RIT.
IT IS A -- CHARITY.
IT IS A WAY TO CELEBRATE
NATIONAL COFFEE DAY AND TEAM
U.S.A.
AND TEAM EUROPE.
ALI LUCIA HAS BEEN THERE ALL
WEEK AND WE FIND HER THERE
AGAIN THIS MORNING.
ALI, THE COURSE LAYOUT IS
DIFFERENT THAN THE PGA EVENT
EVENTS -- PGA EVENTS.
I AM AT THE HAGEN VILLAGE.
IT IS JUST PASSED THE RYDER CUP
SHOPS AND BEHIND ME IS HOLE 16.
PGA OF AMERICA TENT AND THE
TEAM EUROPE TENT HAVE A GREAT
VIEW OF HOLE 16.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN
OUT TO THE COURSE BEFORE.
IT HAS BEEN REROUTED.
SO MAYBE YOU WERE HERE AT
2009 AND YOU SAW A COUPLE OF
HOLES YOU LEAK.
THEY MIGHT BE IN A DIFFERENT
SPOT.
I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT THAT AND
WHY.
FIRST FOUR HOLES ARE THE
SAME AND THEN THE REST THE
FRONT NINE WILL CONSIST OF
HOLES.
FOUR THROUGH 18: AS FOR THE
BACK NINE.
IT BEGINS WITH ORIGINAL HOLES.
BEFORE JUMPING BACK TO THE
ORIGINAL HOLES.
FIVE THROUGH NINE.
NOW, I SPOKE WITH HAZELTINE
GOLF PRO ABOUT THIS CHANGE.
HE SAID THE BIGGEST THING THAT
DROVE THE DECISION IS THE
VIEWING EXPERIENCE
FORESPECTATORS.
THE 16th HOLE IS VERY
PICTURE HE IS BEING AND IT IS
DOWN BY LAKE HAZELTINE AND THEY
CAN'T GET A LOT OF PEOPLE TO
SEE THE HOLE AND THAT'S WHERE
IT IS THE AND WHY IT IS PLACED
HERE ON SWEET 16.
IT IS JUST A VERY SPECIAL HOLE.
SO, IT JUST FLIP FLOPPED THE
LAST FIVE HOLES AND NOW THAT
HOLE PLACE IS NUMBER # AND THE
SEVEN POLE BECOMES THE
16th HOLE AND 16th HOLE HAS
SO MUCH ROOM FOR THE
SPECTATORS.
AND GOING TO GET SOME DRAMA AND
IT REACHES PAR FIVE AND TWO.
AND WATER IN FRONT THE GREEN
AND WHEN THEY GO FOR IT IN TWO.
IT IS DRAMATIC TO SEE WHO GETS
IT AND HOE SWIMS.
SO, THIS IS THE FAIRLY TIP
CONTRACTUAL CHANGE ESPECIALLY
FOR A RYDER CUP AND SO MANY
PEOPLE GOING TO BE OUT HERE
EVERY DAY.
50 TO 80 PEOPLE WATCHING.
CHASKA WILL TURN INTO A LITTLE,
BIG CITY.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT OUT
HERE AT HAZELTINE.
WOW.
ALI.
SO, NOW, YOU WERE SAYING
THAT THE COURSE IS REROUTED AND
YOU MIGHT NOT RECOGNIZE SOME OF
THE HOLES.
YES, KIM.
THAT'S RIGHT AND THE HOLE YOU
SEE HYPE ME.
AND THIS IS NOT NORMALLY THE
16th HOLE AND YOU ARE A
MEMBER OUT HERE AT HEALZ AND IT
IS -- HAZELTINE AND IT IS A PAR
FIVE AND IF YOU ARE HOPING TO
WATCH JORDAN SPIETH IN A MATCH
PLAY.
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE HIM
FOR A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
NORMALLY ON HAZELTINE, IT IS
SMALLER AND DOWN BY THE LAKE
AND HARD FOR THEM TO GET A LOT
OF PEOPLE TO WATCH.
