Oh, my God! I won! I won!

Aah! Aah!

Kendra's celebrating.

That's a big win,

as Kendra Matthews, the Dynamic Queen,

will be playing for The Golden Putter

and the famed plaid jacket.

We'll take a break, but when we return,

the last Round 2 decider.

Who's gonna join Kendra Matthews in that final round?

Stay with us.

Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley."

It has been an incredible night of competition so far,

and as you can see, only one spot remains

in the final round,

but one of the most difficult holes awaits our players,

the dreaded Gopher It.

Jeannie Mai has more.

Thank you, Joe.

Now, this next one pits contestants against

one of golfers' greatest nemesis,

the gopher.

First, we're gonna see how long contestants can ride our mascot,

Sir Goph.

They should hold on tight, because they will be rewarded

with a closer ball position the longer they ride.

Then they'll finish the hole on the gopher‐infested green.

We're about to find out who has what it takes

to be a goph‐inalist and who will be goph‐ing home.

[ Chuckles ]

Thanks, Jeannie.

So here they come. Hey!

Hey, let's go!

Mei Brennan up against Skyler Nick.

Oh, look, Joe, it's one of my favorite competitors.

Oh, you love Skyler Nick.

Spencer. No, that's ‐‐ that's Skyler Nick.

Spencer. That twin brother is Skyler Nick.

That is Spencer Nick.

And there's Mei Brennan, the social‐media star

who's getting a lot of likes from the crowd tonight.

Oh. See what you did there.

Nice. I like that. Thank you.

Hey, look, someone's on the mechanical gopher.

Oh, my God. Okay.

Holy moley, dude.

You got this. You got this. You're all set.

He's got no shot. This is gonna be horrific.

This is over before it began. Absolutely horrific.

The good news is, at least there's another one

in case this one dies.

[ Chuckles ] That's not gonna happen.

Oh, God.

Here goes Skyler Nick.

[ Air horn blows ] Oh, God.

Oh, boy. Oh, my God.

[ Screams ]

He's gone.

That was the shortest ride in the history of "Holey Moley."

And he's going off the edge, and there he goes.

He's out of there. Whoa, whoa. Somebody's gonna get hurt.

We're good. Whoo!

He's on his feet. There you go.

Holy...

Alright, let's take a look at this replay here.

Don't blink.

[ Screaming in slow motion ]

A‐A‐A‐And it's over.

The official time has just come in.

You ready for it? Yes.

One.

I'm sorry. Is that a one point something, or...?

One second.

Ah. Oh, my gosh.

And now the Instagram influencer Mei Brennan is up.

Hey, Mei. Hey!

Good luck to ya.

Oh. Aw, yes. You're the best.

God bless her. Yeah, she knows how to win over this booth.

Oh, my God. No. [ Laughs ]

All she has to do is outlast one second.

[ Air horn blows ]

She's a winner. That is a winning ride right there.

She's a winner! Oh, my gosh! [ Screaming ]

This is just for fun at this point.

Yeah, go on. Get off there.

Ooh, that was a big hit right there.

And there is August Barlow, her boyfriend.

I like that name.

Sounds like, um, uh, an outlaw from the Old West.

"I'll tell ya what, Tex.

You can't up against August Barlow."

That is Mei's boyfriend there, August Barlow,

who apparently was an extra in "Tombstone." August Barlow.

[ Gophers squeaking ]

Alright, so because of the victory

on top of the mechanical gopher,

Mei Brennan now will have the better putting position.

Let's see how she does.

Oh, she goes around. Oh. Yep.

Here's the ramp. This could work out for her.

It's gonna go deep. Runs past.

Yeah.

Alright, Sky, let's do this!

Way to go, kid! Let's go!

I'm not a scientist, as you know, Joe,

but they claim to be twins.

Well, they are twins.

Well, are they? Or are they clones?

Well, they're ‐‐ Well, that I can't answer.

Exactly.

[ Gophers squeaking ]

Skyler: These are so hard to judge,

how they keep moving up and down at different times.

Tessitore: Remember, this is a timing putt.

Timing is critical here.

[ Squeaking continues ]

There he goes. Up and around.

Oh, and it goes ‐‐ and the ball's gone.

It's gone. It's gone. It's gone.

The third gopher has taken the ball down.

It's just gone. He ate it.

He ate it on national television.

We all saw it. It's over.

I like this hole.

I do, too. I like Gopher It a lot.

[ Squeaking continues ]

Skyler: Ugh. Oh, and now he goes O. B.

So he's going to be hitting 3 here.

That gallery is in danger.

[ Squeaking continues ]

Spencer: There you go!

And that doesn't get past the third gopher, as well,

but it does stand up.

This is becoming a disaster for Skyler Nick.

[ Squeaking continues ]

Plays the ramp.

Skyler: Stop! Takes a right at it.

And he's got so much real estate left.

Can I tell ya, Joe... Yes.

...I thought the one‐second gopher ride

was the worst part of this hole for him.

Oh, it got worse.

I was wrong.

August: Let's go, babe.

Mei Brennan now looking to close the show here with this ride.

♪♪

[ Crowd "ohhs" ]

And she'll have that tap‐in for a 3.

To move on to the final round of "Holey Moley,"

Mei Brennan...

And comes up just short.

But, of course, still with the stroke advantage here.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Good for her, and well done.

And I'm glad she had an avalanche of strokes

with which to play with.

She really did.

Mei Brennan wins round number 2 on Gopher It.

Coming up, our finalists take a trip out of this world.

Who's heading to the season finale for a shot at $250,000?

You'll get the answer next on "Holey Moley."

Stick around. Don't go anywhere.

Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley,"

and here we are, the final round.

Who's gonna take home that Holey Moley plaid jacket,

The Golden Putter,

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 ]

And here come our finalists.

Hey, guys! Yeah!

Yes, yes, yes!

Mei Brennan, the social‐media sensation from Salt Lake City

up against Kendra Matthews,

the Dynamic Queen from San Diego.

One last hole stands in their way.

And the first thing you might notice is its size.

[ Laughs ]

Ah.

It's one of the toughest holes in golf.

Mm‐hmm.

It's Uranus.

[ Laughs ]

Golfers will putt up Uranus, around the rings.

[ Laughing ] Okay, did you even hear what you just said?

Now, if you run the ball around the outer rings of Uranus

perfectly... Oh, God, Joe.

...it's gonna lead to a channel for a shot at a hole in one.

Once the ball completes its orbit,

you need to run across the planets

without falling into the water... Mm‐hmm.

...and when both players make it to the green,

you putt around those craters on Uranus right to the hole.

[ Laughs ] Uranus is a really tough hole, Rob.

Yes.

Okay, come on, girl.

22‐year‐old Mei Brennan. She will be up first.

Remember, she moved around a bit as a kid.

She was born in Tokyo. She speaks Japanese.

And now here, trying to take everything on Uranus.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

♪♪

Can she get that channel?

She got a nice kiss off that ‐‐

It hit the channel.

Oh, we may have a shot here at a hole in one.

Do we have it?

Oh! Oh!

Oh, unbelievable!

Unbelievable! Hole in one!

Holy cow!

A hole in one for Mei Brennan.

That's a Round 3 hole in one, Joe! Unbelievable.

Oh, my God.

What a way to do it.

With a championship on the line,

Mei Brennan delivers with an ace.

Riggle: Oh.

One of the best shots we have seen

in two years of "Holey Moley."

Absolutely.

Whoo!

Send her straight to the green.

[ Cheers and applause ]

It's gonna be a long walk all the way back, isn't it?

[ Laughter ]

And now all the pressure is on Kendra Matthews.

Needs the hole in one to force a putt‐off.

One chance. This is it.

If not, Mei Brennan is a champion.

I've never seen this much pressure around Uranus.

[ Laughs ]

♪♪

Has to have the hole in one.

It's in. It's in the chute.

In the channel.

Is that going right in the hole?!

Could it be?

Oh! Oh!

Oh, gosh!

No!

As good of a run as you will ever see.

Couldn't have done anything better than that.

Kendra Matthews almost answered the call, Joe.

A great finish on "Holey Moley,"

as Mei Brennan is your champion.

And Uranus bringing out the best in both of them.

I think we just made history on Uranus.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

But for now, the moment that all mini golfers wait for ‐‐

The Golden Putter and the plaid jacket.

We got another champ in the house.

Oh, my goodness.

We're all so proud of you.

I can't believe that this is actually happening.

That is championship official right there.

This jacket is so cute.

You are officially a champ. Welcome to the club.

Tessitore: What an incredible finish to this week's "Holey Moley."

We'll see you next week.
