Tessitore: Welcome to smallest golf's biggest night.

Welcome to "Holey"... "Moley"!

Whoo! Tonight, eight contestants

battle it out for supremacy

from the most violent mini golf course that's ever been built.

The stakes ‐‐ enormous.

The golf ‐‐ miniature.

The thrill of victory...

Are you not entertained?

...and the agony of defeat.

[ Groans ] Mini golf is hard.

And now 18 holes, 1 winner,

with a final putt in the season finale worth $250,000.

Hi, everybody. I'm Joe Tessitore.

I'm Rob Riggle, and this is...

Both: "Holey Moley."

"The Sequel."

[ Electricity crackling ]

Welcome to "Holey Moley."

We are moments away from what is sure to be

another incredible night of extreme mini golf.

That's right, Joe.

The "Holey Moley" team has been hard at work

prepping the course for tonight's matchups,

and I can assure you that no detail has been overlooked,

including the facilities over at the Porta Putty hole,

which I personally tested just moments ago.

You know those are just set pieces, right, Rob?

What do you mean "set pieces," Joe?

They're not functional restrooms.

Oh. [ Chuckles ]

Well, in that case, my sincere apologies

to the "Holey Moley" art department.

Okay. Here's how it works.

We got Round 1 coming up, with eight golfers.

They face off in a series of head‐to‐head matchups.

The winners are gonna move on to a sudden‐death Round 2.

Only the best survive to the third and final round,

where you're gonna play for The Golden Putter,

the coveted Holey Moley plaid jacket,

and most importantly, a spot in the season finale,

where one champion will make a putt

worth a quarter million dollars

on Stephen Curry's Tomb of Nefertiti.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Tonight's golfers are pumped up. They're ready to go.

So let's head straight to our first matchup.

We've got "Frat Boy" Chris taking on "Hipster" Aaron.

My name is Chris Morales. I'm from Denver, Colorado.

I'm 23 years old, and I am in cybersecurity.

[ Crowd cheering ]

During my college days, I was a member at Pi Kappa Alpha.

We'd always go golfing every single weekend.

And I am ice cold from 5 feet out.

When I win "Holey Moley"...

Where you at? Where you at?

...I'm gonna take the boys and the girlfriend

out for drinks... Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!

...in Jamaica.

♪♪

On my putter, I engraved on there

a little piece of a poem.

"And it was me. Was it me?"

It's just a little piece of the poem I really like.

[ Bell dings ] My name's Aaron Hand.

I'm a bicycle‐frame designer from Portland, Oregon.

If people called me hipster, I wouldn't be offended.

You know, I'm wearing flannel every day,

so I think it's just kind of, like, in my blood.

I enjoy hanging out with my friends at mini golf courses.

It's all about keeping that, like, energy alive inside of you

to be a kid.

My strategy going into "Holey Moley"

is just keep a level head

so I can kind of sneak in and be the underdog.

Beware those cannons. They are on "full."

And tonight's first hole is Water Hazard.

Players must putt up the wave

to try to get their ball to the protected island green.

Then they themselves have to make it across the narrow bridge

while being blasted by water cannons.

You fall in, and it's a stroke penalty.

Oh, no!

Joe, I don't know about you, but it is cold out here.

Oh, it's cold.

Anybody outside right now without a jacket

would be a full‐blown jackass.

Oh, present company excluded. Oh, thank you. Thank you.

I didn't realize you didn't have your coat on. Yeah, well, I don't.

♪♪

There is Chris Morales. He's a whole lot of frat boy.

That is a strong visor game right there.

What does that tell you when you go with a backward visor?

It says "I'm a little bit country,

and I'm a little bit rock 'n' roll."

♪♪

Up and over the water.

And look at this.

Wow!

Chris: Ohh!

Onto the green, and it stays there.

What a shot.

Incredible shot.

Wow. Wow.

Now has to make the 38‐foot bridge walk

while the water cannons are trying to shoot him off. [ Chuckles ]

[ Crowd cheering ]

Does it get the best of him?

Oh! Makes it across somehow.

Whoo‐hoo!

Hats off ‐‐ or backwards ‐‐ to Chris Morales.

Whoo!

♪♪

Aaron Hand now.

What is that? Is that a hat?

I am not sure. That is actually his hair.

No, that is not anybody's hair.

That is his God‐given hair right there.

That is not his hair. That's his hair.

♪♪

Look at that backswing on Aaron Hand.

Over the water.

Let's see where it lands.

[ Crowd "Ohh"s ]

So, he buries it in the sand.

It's plugged there right near the crabs.

I hate it when there are crabs around my balls.

♪♪

Big question, Joe.

Aaron Hand about to go across the water bridge.

Is he going to take his hair with him?

I believe the hair comes with him.

[ Crowd chanting "Go!" ]

Oh, this doesn't look good!

[ Laughing ] He's straddling it.

[ Laughs ] That's the way to do it.

There you go, Aaron.

Oh, he gets back up.

He does. I'm impressed.

I don't know. He's got kind of spaghetti legs, though, doesn't he?

[ Grunts ]

Whoa! That's got to sting!

Oh! Oh, that's got to sting.

He's still alive!

[ Laughing ] He's still ‐‐

He's still on there.

Second time that he rides it like a pony.

And the hair is untouched.

[ Laughing ] What does it matter if he goes in the water?

[ Both laugh ]

[ Laughing ]

[ Laughing ] Oh!

[ Laughter continues ]

Ohhhhhh!

[ Laughter ]

He was...

[ Laughter continues ]

He's just taking water in by the gallon.

Just bail at that point.

I mean, look at this. Just bail.

So, that's a stroke penalty on Aaron Hand

for going into the water.

So he lies 2.

I got to say, his hair recovered quickly.

Completely dry. It recovered.

I don't know that the hair was ever wet.

I mean, I know it was shot with a water cannon.

I just don't know if it had any effect.

[ Crowd "Ohh"s ]

Just slapped at it.

A little more gas than that.

Chris Morales will be putting for the win.

[ Crowd cheering ]

Christopher Morales,

who is so proud of his years as a frat boy.

He won Mr. Alpha Phi,

and now he's trying to be Mr. Holey Moley.

♪♪

Oh, he's got a good line.

And he puts it in.

Whoo!

And he celebrates like only a frat boy can,

and so he should.

Chris Morales takes the first spot in Round 2.

Who will join him? Hold on tight.

Let's find out about our next hole.

Jeannie Mai has the details.

Alright, guys, it's about to get bucking wild

down here on Gopher It.

First, we'll see how long

contestants can ride our mascot, Sir Goph.

The longer they hold on,

the closer their ball position will be to the hole.

Then it's down to the green, where mini golfers

have to putt their way around more gophers

popping their heads up and trying to throw off their shots.

But if anyone can tame these wild beasts,

it's our next two mini golfers.

Go. Good stuff, Jeannie.

We've got a special matchup coming your way right now ‐‐

a world‐famous author

against this golfer simply known as "Mojo the Great."

My name is Karin Slaughter. I'm from Atlanta, Georgia.

I'm a writer, and I write thrillers.

My 20th book comes out this summer.

Girl power! Come on, Karin!

I think people don't understand about writing

that it takes an incredible amount of focus,

because otherwise, the reader won't buy what you're doing.

Really, I think that putting is about that.

You really are competing with yourself

'cause only you can miss that hole.

My name is Morris Jones...

the "I am" of I am, Mojo.

I'm an aspiring professional golfer

trying to get on the PGA Tour,

and I mentor kids

'cause there's a lot of kids that don't know how to read.

I am absolutely not intimidated

by the "Holey Moley" course at all.

It's mine.

[ Grunts ]

Felt like Mr. T for a few minutes.

[ Laughter ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

And it's Morris Jones, AKA Mojo the Great,

who will be first to test himself

against the mechanical gopher tonight.

You got this.

Hey, there he is, right behind us.

Both: Hey, Morris!

Good luck to you, my man.

Not a chance. No chance whatsoever.

[ Air horn blows ]

So, here he goes.

All it takes is one swift move of that gopher, and you're done.

[ Crowd cheering ]

He's leaning. He's leaning.

Oh! And up and over!

There he goes. Quite a fall.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Both sigh ]

This is it right here.

Yeah, he goes sidesaddle right here,

and then they just said, "It's dizzy time,"

and then he goes end over end.

Okay, author Karin is up next, and while she gets ready,

let's have a quick visit with our resident golf pro.

♪♪

And now "Behind the Hole" with Stephen Curry.

How did we come up with the idea for Gopher It?

Well, there are really a lot of gophers all over this course.

It's their home.

When we started building "Holey Moley,"

we reached an agreement with the gophers

that we could make the mini golf course around their home

if they got to design one of the holes.

So this is the hole they designed.

They worked really, really hard, and they did a great job.

Their original plan had way more gophers in it,

but I think this version turned out really great.

I'm proud of those gophers.

♪♪

Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley."

While you were away, author Karin Slaughter

starred in her very own thriller.

She came face‐to‐face with the gopher.

Oh, here we go. Oh, let's see. This is gonna be close!

Riggle: And bye‐bye.

[ Grunts ] Unfortunately for her, it was a quick read,

and she fell short of Morris' time.

I'm okay! I'm okay!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Just glad it's not in Uranus.

That looks awful.

There's no way you can make it across those balls.

[ Laughs ]

[ Tessitore laughs ]

What in the Sam Hill is going on around here?

So, it's the man they call Mojo the Great

with the better ball position on the green,

and we're gonna join him right now for his first putt.

Hey! There they are.

[ Gophers squeaking ]

Lot of gophers on this course. Lot of gophers.

[gopher] I could go for a cocktail right now, huh?

Sign me up.

[ Squeaking continues ]

♪♪

Two gopher heads that he has to get around.

He goes right over the top of the embankment,

and it runs well past.

Well, he's through safe. That's half the battle.

A lot of meat on that second putt.

♪♪

Now Karin Slaughter.

Karin, of course, selling 35 million books,

probably has her own Wikipedia page.

Oh, she does. Yeah, she does.

Which, as we all know, means you are somebody.

Just a Wikipedia page? That's all it takes nowadays?

That's all ‐‐ I mean [Laughs] it's not easy.

You act like it's no big deal.

It's a big deal.

[ Gophers squeaking ]

She's going straight over the top.

Oh! And she doesn't get past the third gopher head.

[ Squeaking continues ]

Now you know the price to be paid

if you finish second on the mechanical gopher.

And...now.

Nice pace here.

Oh! Very nice putt!

So close. So close.

So, Karin sits 2.

Morris will be putting for the win,

but it is a very long ride back to the cup.

♪♪

Morris Jones for the win here.

[ Crowd groans ]

It's so close.

He's gonna have that tap‐in for a 3.

[ Crowd cheering ]

Well, Karin, right now, has to sink this putt

to force a putt‐off.

♪♪

Don't miss it.

♪♪

Karin Slaughter...

famed author.

♪♪

Ugh! And she misses.

And Mojo the Great powers on into round number 2,

closing the book on author Karin

and her dreams of a $250,000 putt.

♪♪

That's all she wrote, Joe.

[ Laughs ]

I like how you did that. She's an author.

"That's all she wrote," and she's out.

That's all she wrote. Yeah.

I can do this, like, all day. I don't even care.

Good. Keep going. Keep going, you know? Uh...

That's it. That's all I had.

Now for a completely different hole ‐‐ Diving Range,

the only "Holey Moley" hole

where three competitors go head‐to‐head‐to‐head.

But if they want to make it to the green,

our players will have to put down their putter

and walk onto a diving board.

The player with the best dive?

You get the better ball position on the green.

The player with the worst dive?

You're going home. You're out. You're not putting at all.

So making these dives, Riggle, is absolutely crucial.

Oh, yeah, you know that's true, Joe.

Returning as judges tonight ‐‐ our very own Sir Goph,

Olympic gold‐medal‐winning diver Greg Louganis,

and, of course, actor and American icon Steve Guttenberg.

And here are tonight's three mini golfers

who will be braving the cold water.

Teaching pro Somin Lee,

animator Laura McGowan,

and after begging the producers for a second chance,

it's Joey Cifelli.

Hi. I'm Somin Lee Beversdorf.

I'm a player‐development director

at a golf club in Scottsdale, Arizona.

My nickname is "Golf Artist"

because I have mad photoshop skills,

but I like to show off my skills on the golf course, too.

A lot of people think I'm just cute, but they don't know me.

I like to trash‐talk.

Hey, there. Your hands are a little shaky there.

[ Rimshot ]

[ Laughs ]

My name is Laura McGowan.

I'm from Tupper Lake, New York, in the Adirondacks,

and I'm an animation assistant editor.

My putting is top‐notch.

I've been practicing all week.

I am very good about just being in my own little world

and focusing on what I need to do.

I do not exercise at all.

I don't like to move unnecessarily.

[ Laughs ]

My kilt is of my family's tartan.

People call me L‐Mac because my mom's maiden name is MacDonald

and I eat a significant amount of Big Macs.

So I'm at McDonald's a lot more than people think.

[ Laughs ]

What's up, "Holey Moley"? I'm back. I'm ready for Round 2.

I'm here to impress the judges.

I'm thankful I got this opportunity to do another dive here.

First round didn't go so well.

It was really very disappointing.

That's it for you! You're done!

Joe: The judges really didn't seem to like it,

which surprises me a lot.

♪♪

I've definitely got some more tricks up my sleeve

that I'm gonna be able to pull out,

and I'm gonna show Greg something

he's never seen before, and he's gonna be so impressed

that he'll have to give me a 10.

[ Cheers and applause ]

This is Somin Lee here, our first of our three competitors.

She's looking to land an inward 1 1/2.

[ Riggle laughs ]

What in the world was that?!

Now, why are you laughing, Riggle?

I've never seen such a beautiful dive.

She launched herself backwards off the diving board

with just no fear.

And very artistic.

That's why she probably goes by

the "Artistic Sniper" of mini golf.

It'll be interesting to see how the judges score that.

Somin, that was so incredible. That was great.

I give you a 6.5.

Wow.

Somin, what I hated about that dive

was that it had to end.

It was beautiful!

This is your gift. This is your gift.

An 8.0.

Here's Sir Goph.

That is an apple.

And, Course Marshal Joe?

That's a 4.

He says it's a 4. A 4.

Somin Lee with an 18 1/2 for her dive.

And Laura McGowan will be next up.

Laura's ultra competitive to the point where her family says,

"We don't even like playing board games with her."

Oh, wow. That's tough.

Now, how does that go in your house?

Who's that person in your house?

No, we're all pretty jovial, pretty relaxed.

Everybody has a fun time with board games? Yeah, yeah.

So long as I win. Mm‐hmm.

Laura is attempting a backwards half twist.

Oh, almost off‐balance there at the end of the springboard.

She's pretending, Joe.

This is gonna get her so many style points.

What was that?! [ Laughs ]

That was not even a ‐‐ that doesn't even qualify as a dive.

Ohh. That brought me more joy than anything I've seen today.

Louganis: Wow.

7.0.

Tessitore: A 7.0.

You know, have you ever been to the MoMA in New York City

and you see van Gogh?

That's how I feel. I'm, like, looking at van Gogh.

Please, take this ‐‐ take this with my ‐‐

with my greatest respect.

A 9.5!

And now Sir Goph, with...

leaves.

That's a 4 again. A 4.

I'm just gonna say this.

I think maybe Course Marshal Joe's right hand

only has four fingers on it.

That could be the case.

Laura McGowan scoring a 20.5,

and with that, she takes the lead.

♪♪

Now, let me tell you something,

because we have seen Joey Cifelli before.

I will be shocked

if he doesn't skyrocket past both of these competitors.

Oh, that was beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!

You thought that was good?!

What?!

Another spectacular effort from Cifelli.

I can't wait to hear what Louganis has to say about this.

You know, doing that dive in the Olympic games,

it was so important to have the correct lines,

and you just butchered the dive.

[ Crowd booing ]

Best I can do is 3.

[ Crowd groans ]

Joey...

that was horrible!

First of all, Joey, go to the gym.

Try to do something with your body.

There are people here! There's little kids here!

You're disgusting them!

This is what you're getting.

This is what you're getting.

Tessitore: Wait, you know what ‐‐ there's hope for Cifelli

because Sir Goph has four cards up.

Oh! Look at that.

[ Crowd cheering ]

4.

That's a 4. There you go. 4. That's a 4.

It's a 4.

And with that, Laura McGowan and Somin Lee

will advance now to the poolside putting green,

and, in an absolute stunning turn of events,

Joey Cifelli doesn't make it through to the green again.

The result of this putt‐off is up next.

Is there any karate competition?

We could get that ordered up.

Might be nice to see some of these guys

try to break a cinder block with their forehead.

[ Laughs ]

Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley."

During the break, Somin and Laura went through

to the putting section of Diving Range.

And even though a higher diving score

gave Laura a significant putting advantage...

Beat that, darling.

...it was Somin who came from behind

with some sharpshooting for the win.

And the golf pro they call the Artistic Sniper

joins Frat Boy Chris and Mojo the Great

in that chase to be our champion

with a shot at a quarter million dollars.

And now our final hole of this opening round.

It's Buns & Wieners.

We're getting into the meat of the competition,

as golfers have to putt across the rotating bun.

You got to ricochet off the knife

and send the ball towards the green,

then traverse over the burning coals

by way of the spinning hot dogs.

Fall in, and it's a stroke penalty.

Wow. Listen, a word of warning to our mini golfers ‐‐

all that food might look delicious, and you'd be correct.

It's all real food, and it all tastes great.

I‐It's not real food.

Pretty sure it is.

Only one way to find out, though, Joe.

Go get yourself a taste. Thank you.

So, while Rob heads down to sample the set,

it's time to meet our next two golfers ‐‐

Ryan Roth, a deejay from St. Louis,

AKA DJ Roy LaCroix,

and a golf caddie, Desiree,

who's a crack shot with a shotgun.

Watch out.

Hey, my name's Ryan Roth.

I'm a deejay/producer.

I make tech house and '80s synth pop.

Mini golf is a really fun way to sort of express myself

Better come up with something big here.

She's able to have it sit atop.

That's a perfect shot. Well done.

So she has a chance,

but because of that stroke penalty, she lies 3,

and Ryan Roth now has a putt for the win.

Whoo! Oh, it feels good.

Let's go! Come on!

And what a proud moment for Grandpa Jerry watching on

as DJ Roy LaCroix dances on through to Round 2.

It's got to be interesting for Ryan Roth

to experience this with his grandfather.

I'm sure it's a special moment.

I hope they get in a lot of photos,

because they'll be able to reflect back on this

as probably the greatest single day of their life.

Eh... w‐winning Buns & Wieners?

And no backstop, Joe. No backstop.

It don't feel so good, "High School Musical," does it?

I don't know if I can hear you from over there, man.

Hey, it's alright,

'cause I'm gonna be right over there with you.

Ooh. Ah. Little trash talk.

Little smacky‐smack.

[ Laughing ] Yeah. Uh‐huh.

He made it over. Over the first ridge. Over the second ridge.

Can he stop? Can he stop? He's got to stay on. He's got to hit the brakes.

Hey, that's a nice putt.

Oof.

What I'm talking about, baby.

That's about as good as you're gonna have from that position.

Riggle: Yeah, from there, that's amazing.

Don't get scared now.

That's a lot of green to work with, baby.

Chris: I'm not worried. You're not worried?

Not worried at all.

I'm not either.

I'm always ready.

Tessitore: So, right now, Morris Jones lies 3

So much on the line here ‐‐ chance for the win

and a trip to the final round to play for it all.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Dead into the heart of it.

Whoo!

And the party will continue for Frat Boy Chris.

He makes the final round.

That's where he'll compete to make the season finale

and that chance at a quarter million dollars.

It's coming up right after the break.

Who do you think they put in there?

You think those are PAs they put in there?

Oh, yeah.

Look, I took jobs like this.

I had to spend time in porta potties.

I had to spend time in septic tanks.

One time, they made me stand on a driving range

Balls right in the ‐‐ It turns out, it wasn't ‐‐ no one was filming.

Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley,"

as you join us here with the terrifying windmills

and the last battle of Round 2.

It's Double Dutch Courage.

[ Grunts ] Oh! He is gone!

Ohh! Ohh!

Fan favorite from Season 1, and it's back by popular demand.

Ohhh!

Contestants must get their ball and then themselves

through both windmills over to the checkered green.

And if they or their ball fall in, that's a stroke penalty.

[ Cheers and applause ]

And into the firing line they come.

Ryan Roth, AKA DJ Roy LaCroix,

up against the Artistic Sniper, golf pro Somin Lee.

Somin Lee is hoping that she can cash in on the $250,000

and take an exotic honeymoon.

Did you just say "$250,000 honeymoon," Joe?

That's what she put out there.

That would be probably the greatest honeymoon.

It would. She'd be back about five years from now.

[ Cheers and applause ]

This is a good line.

Oh, on the comeback. On the comeback! Does it come back and make something special?!

Ohhhhh! Ohhhhh!

We nearly had an ace out of Somin Lee!

What a putt. Wow.

Look at the replay of what happened here.

That thing was hugging and wrapping

and wanting to dance with the cup.

[ Crowd cheering ]

And now here's Somin Lee.

She's quick to get to that windmill.

Remember, five blades on Double Dutch Courage ‐‐

an extra blade this year.

Yeah, she's in the chute, ready to go.

Alright, Somin Lee, what do you have here?

Aah!

Chris: Oh!

Ooh.

That was a clean sweep. Boy, oh, boy!

That just swept her into the water.

Watch the replay.

Somin Lee got shot‐putted, thrown like she was rejected.

Goodbye.

Anytime your body ends up facing the opposite direction

by which you started, bad news.

I mean, that's just ‐‐ that's flat‐out bad.

Yeah.

And now she has to deal with the second windmill.

[ Laughs ]

Is this a nervous laughter I'm sensing?

It is. That is not good.

[ Laughs ]

This is good, Joe. This is gonna be good.

Oh! Hey!

She got away with one. She got away with one.

Really overcame something there, didn't she?

Yeah!

Alright, Somin Lee.

Alright, Ryan Roth is up next.

Pressure is on for the deejay.

Off the back wall, takes a kick...

Too much. ...and will settle down

just beyond where Somin Lee's putt landed.

I guess he'd have to say that was wicky‐wicky‐wicky wack.

I'm sorry?

It's just deejay talk.

He knows what I'm talking about.

DJ Roy LaCroix,

who has the catchphrase "You only YOLO once."

A bit repetitive. Let's see how he lives here.

Oh!

Oh! Ooh!

The leg got a little bit, but he survived.

Yes! Yes! Whoo!

I'll be honest ‐‐ I was kind of hoping he would get hit,

just 'cause I want to see his mustache go flying.

[ Laughing ] Yeah.

Alright, here he is.

Second windmill now for the deejay.

♪♪

He makes it through. He makes it through clean.

[ Crowd cheering ]

Took a little bit of bruising on that first windmill,

but right now, he's on the green in 1.

Let's go!

Did you ever spin?

Me? Yes.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Still do?

[ Chuckles ] 'Course.

Mainly birthday parties, bar mitzvahs,

court‐date releases, making bail.

Court‐date releases? Yeah.

There are deejays for that sort of thing?

Oh, big‐time.

Ryan Roth will be putting for the win.

Ohhh.

And it lips around!

It lips around and then comes back down the slope.

That was really his opportunity, but now he sits 2, as well.

Here's Somin Lee.

Keep in mind what's in stake ‐‐

a chance to get to the final round,

where you play for The Golden Putter and the plaid jacket.

Somin Lee for a 3.

And she puts it in! Wow!

Whooooooo!

I like the aggressive approach there

of going for the heart of the cup.

To match with a 3.

The deejay is out,

She will play in the final round tonight,

trying to earn that shot in the season finale

and a chance at a quarter million dollars.

It's after this short break. Don't go anywhere.

I got to tell you, Joe, if I win the $250,000,

I'm buying solid‐gold nunchakus.

You are not eligible,

and you will not be buying those solid‐gold nunchakus.

Just saying, that would be my move.

Maybe have to gold‐plate them, 'cause they'd be heavy.

Too heavy to wield.

Tessitore: Welcome back. It is time for the main event.

Win here, and you're a champion on "Holey Moley."

You get The Golden Putter,

the coveted Holey Moley plaid jacket,

and most importantly, a spot in the season finale,

where one champion will make a putt

worth a quarter million dollars

on Stephen Curry's Tomb of Nefertiti.

Tonight's decider, it is a hole so daring

that it will shock you to the core.

Literally shock you to the core.

It's the heart‐stopping Frankenputt.

Aah!

Golfers have to first putt into Dr. Frankenputt's lair.

Then they have to be extra cautious

because every shot you miss, evil Dr. Frankengoph

will send a jolt of electricity right to our golfers.

Pretty scary, don't you think, Rob?

Positively shocking, Joe. A real abuse of power.

The puns are just flying like crazy tonight with this hole.

Well, I don't know about all that, Joe,

but this hole's got me really charged up.

See? That's what I'm saying.

See what I did there?

I did ‐‐ "really charged up."

I can do this all night.

Oh. That's what you're paid for.

Pyew, pyew, doo‐doo‐doo‐doo.

And here are the two finalists now,

Somin Lee, a smack‐talking golf pro,

AKA the Artistic Sniper,

up against Chris Morales, a hard‐partying frat boy

who's been red‐hot from 5 feet out.

Let's see if Chris Morales can find that line

down the middle of these electrical nodes

that if you can center that ball,

you do have a shot at a hole in one.

Wow. He may have a shot here.

He may have a shot here!

Oh, my gosh! Right out of the gate! Oh! Right on the pin!

[ Crowd groans ]

Right on the pin, and then it bounces left.

But because he missed,

that means Dr. Frankengoph will now flip the switch.

You can see the apparatus on Chris Morales' arms.

[ Electricity crackling ] Oh! Gosh.

Look at ‐‐ It's happening right here.

He is drawing the power from the grid,

and that goes through everything

Come on! Give it to me!

Aah‐aah‐oh!

[ Laughs ] Nearly down to his knees.

Oh, man!

That got his attention.

Somin Lee, who refers to herself as the Artistic Sniper.

Imagine the nerves, stepping up,

knowing that if you miss,

you're going to feel the electric current.

"Somin‐mazing.

Somin‐amazing? Somin‐mazing?"

Lot of wordplay. Lot of wordplay on people's names tonight.

"Somin‐ama‐‐

Somin‐azing."

"Somin‐azing."

"Somin‐azing."

Aah!

And it just gets over onto the checkered green,

but she'll have a look from there.

Now here comes Dr. Frankenputt.

[ Electricity crackling ]

Somin Lee's gonna feel it.

Just give it to me!

She knows what's about to happen.

[ Crackling continues ]

Aaaaaah!

[ Crowd gasps ]

[ Laughing ] Aah!

Oh, my gosh! Joe, my phone's dead.

How did he get the power from my phone?

I can't believe that.

That was a little tricky there.

Don't panic.

Tessitore: With Chris so close to what is most likely

a very manageable putt,

everything is on the line for Somin Lee.

Oh, she ran it.

And she knocked it into Chris Morales' golf ball.

Uh‐oh. Can't do that.
