Episode notes
Lucky Bunker Escape On The 9th
- Cam recounted being off-target on the 9th tee most days and then executing a lucky bunker escape to get up-and-down.
- He hit a 72-yard gap wedge from heavy rough that nicked leaves and landed favorably for a manageable par.
Getting Out Of A Plugged Lie On 16
- On 16 Cam had a plugged lie after hitting the tree and chose a simple hack with a pitching wedge to get it out and in play.
- The shot kicked toward the green and left him a long but manageable putt, which he later converted under pressure.
How Kyle's Caddying Shaped Cam's Strategy
- Cam credited caddie Kyle with steadying decisions like laying up on 12 and choosing conservative tactics to exploit Sawgrass's quirks.
- Kyle's green-reading and calm counsel let Cam take conservative scoring opportunities rather than forcing risky shots.
