Koepke and Rahm are trading blows.
And the Greenbrier, these heavyweights.
Ross Koepke is chasing an unprecedented fifth Live Golf League title.
No other man has more than three in our history.
John Rahm looking to go back to back after his first Live Golf League
victory at the JCB in the UK last time out.
And this is what it's all about.
It's what these guys live for, moments like this.
These are two of the biggest superstars in Live Golf League,
and they're going to go at it for the rest of the day.
Every piece of information they can glean from their caddies,
their teammates, if you will, that is crucial.
It's going to be all over the place down here at the top.
That's what it's doing.
Didn't wreck at all.
Bright edge.
I had a little bit more.
To be honest with you, Rambo, this actually might stop here pretty quick.
If you want to hold off.
I was looking at that pitch.
You see that black thing beyond the hole right there?
They're playing at 145 metres.
Could be a little chippy now.
Brooks Koepka and John Rahm tied on 16 under.
Brooks, he manages his game so well.
He knows exactly where to play the ball.
Oh, this is quite bad.
Magnificent shot.
The hunt for a fifth Live Golf League title
remains alive and well for Brooks Koepka.
They've got it from here.
It's sort of like nearly holes in there, don't they?
Well, Smash at one point today
trailed Ripper by five shots.
They've now taken the lead.
Smash GC needs something from Taylor Gooch at the moment,
with all four scores counting.
Oh, that's unlucky.
How's your day been so far?
Still absolutely no reaction from him.
Get in.
Go, go, go!
Quite brilliant from Taylor Gooch.
Good job, boss.
You should know, Steve, if you hit the flag on the fly,
you just get to put up one full flag lane behind the hole.
Great news for Smash as well.
And Brooks, if he puts this away, will give them a lead by two.
Brooks Koepka running hot here at the Greenbrier.
Now then, Brooks, you feel this is a big moment.
Looking great.
Brooks Koepka, that could be a defining blow.
Three consecutive birdies to wrestle control from Jon Rahm.
Well, Brooks is certainly putting the pressure on this man.
That just shrinks up the size of the cup of hair here, David.
Yeah.
Oh, Jon Rahm stays in touch, the clinch of his fist tells the tale.
He's within one of Brooks Koepka.
Yeah, take that.
These are vital moments now.
In the individual competition here at the Greenbrier.
Brooks Koepka.
The door is ajar.
Arise, smile.
Jon Rahm then to tie and set up a grandstand finale.
That's a good putt there.
Oh, that was colourful, right?
What theatre we have at the Greenbrier once again.
Consecutive birdies for Jon Rahm.
He's taking it all the way.
How about Jon Kaplan?
What a story that he's in as a sub for Graeme McDowell for Team Smash.
They've been absolutely sensational today.
It looks like Smash will take the team title.
Jon, make sure you take a shower, OK?
Because you're going to sweat.
I think we're going to be spraying some champagne, which will be fun.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to that.
That'll be cool.
These two titans will go down 18, tied on 19 under par.
If we do have a playoff here, it'll be the fifth of the individual competitions
so far this season.
It will guarantee him a playoff at least.
Yeah, 65 for Jon Rahm.
It's all now down to Brooks.
They went toe-to-toe at Augusta in the Masters last year,
and Rahm and Koepke will play off for Live Golf Glory
at the Greenbrier.
Another dramatic championship Sunday isn't over yet,
and they will head back to the 18th team.
65 for Jon Rahm.
63 for Brooks Koepke.
It's one for one with us. I love it.
Brooks is 2-0 in the Live Golf League in playoffs.
Ricky Ellard has given him 151 to carry the little ridge in front of the flag.
This will be the first year I've never done a f***ing champagne shower in my life.
I'm just going to paint it over Brooks.
Does he?
Right right in his face.
Go! Go!
Same exact thing, man.
OK?
I wrote clay here, see?
He's been hitting these three-quarter shots all week long.
Just a touch of breeze from the right.
Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit!
Sit! Sit! Sit!
There's that bounce and it's gone to the back of the bunker,
which is no help.
That could scarcely be worse.
Advantage Brooks Koepke.
For Jon, I mean no green to work with.
It's a downhill line.
This is just a really tough shot.
He really has got to hope to hit the flagstick with this.
It may come back a touch.
No, it hits the top of it.
And I think that glare says it all.
Now what an opportunity now for Brooks Koepke.
It's a good try there, bro.
Good shot.
I haven't done it so much.
I know.
So Brooks Koepke then, for victory.
A reprieve for Rahm.
Par 3 for Brooks Koepke.
A must-make then for Jon Rahm, upcoming.
Good effort.
Oh, he's looked at that low, doesn't it?
I just thought it might hang on for a little bit.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Very, very difficult for Jon Rahm.
But if he makes it, we go back to the 18th tee.
If he fails, Brooks Koepke is our champion in Greenbrier.
That is so close.
But Brooks Koepke, who is a five-time major winner,
is now the first man to win five Live Golf League titles.
He's now won twice in 2024.
And so have his team, Smash GC.
It's good.
Everybody played really good today.
It was fun to watch the leaderboard.
It was everybody just kept growing up.
Listen, you're going to do that.
I hope they just didn't do that every week now.
Good to spray him with champagne.
Good to get champagne on you again.
So this is what it's about.
What a day for Smash GC,
who did it with a substitute in Jon Catlin.
Yeah, one for one with Team Smash.
It's pretty awesome.
And a day of celebration for Brooks Koepke and Smash GC.
