congressional. no first time pga tour winner in this tournament's history. an event, as you saw, where the veterans tend to do well. tiger joined us earlier in the tower. shot 68 today. a very good start to his round but ran into some trouble on the second nine and really just battled it home. so three good days for tiger and one very challenging day yesterday. nick: yeah, yesterday was a test day. the first time he'd played close to the lead for a while so i think that's what we'll -- he'll take away from the week was how he handled saturday. bill: here's rickie. finish with a flurry and he does!

nick: just to put a little bit of pressure. bill: so the lead is two. rickie shoots 69. he was five under in his last four holes of regulation to get into the playoff at the players. birdied three of the last four to win the scottish open the week before the open championship. talked about husband ryder cup run. nick: but five bogeys today. he wasn't expecting that. go out thinking of making birdies. pretty impressive. makes troy merritt's just -- might be sweeter if he has the nervous to stand up and swing it nicely to the middle of the

green. ian: 194 yards. scott has given him 6 and he hits his middle irons a long way. nick: well, he can forget the flag and just try and land it in that front section. get it over the ridge. get it in the back section and that's job done. david: he drives that one in low. it's a little left. nick: it's all right. it's going to hop up. david: that's a great effort. really a great shot. bill: didn't change his strategy much. went right at it, although he came up short. two-shot cushion. nick: the two-shot cushion is really important because i would not like to be two-putting that one for the win.

he's got two putts for the win. >> yeah, on that camera guy there. feel the breeze? yeah? bill: kevin chappell. david: just 142 yards left. 9-iron. nick: not enjoying himself on the last few holes. bill: it's been a tough day. again, the lineup tonight on cbs -- "60 minutes" and a look at how our country is preparing for space battle. followed by a new "big brother," "madam secretary," and "csi: cyber." tonight, only cbs.

a tip of the cat from troy merritt. set the course record with 61 yesterday and held it together with a final round here on sunday. nice round of applause. so he'll play in a major for the first time. pga championship in two weeks. and he'll make the drive down magnolia lane as a contestant at the masters for the first time next april. nick: very impressive to be leading at the start of the final day and he'll more than likely get him to three under and be the best for the day. four under. out of the top two pages, he's outplayed everybody for the one, which is even more credit. bill: if he goes on to win, here's a look at the fedexcup point stand. troy will move to 38th and

jordan spieth with a big lead over bubba watson. jimmy walker was here this week and played well early but faded yesterday. jason day the winner last week and then dustin johnson at number five. bill: obviously for troy merritt yesterday was such a key. started at 35. the 35th spot then shot that 11 and went all the way to the top of the leaderboard. he had the best round of the day by three shots. nick: yeah. one correction on my part. carlos ortiz shot five under today but as i was saying, considering you're leading and you're shooting three under,

better than all the guys chasing you. bill: kevin chappell trying to end with a birdie on a really tough day. bill: just going to finish -- nick: just going to finish, get out of troy's way. bill: well, just didn't have it today. 77 for kevin. and the stage belongs to troy merritt. nick: he's fortunate, he's far you have you have -- far enough up that ridge he doesn't have to deal with all of it so just cozy

this one over and down. bill: he'd love to win it with a birdie. oh! with an exclamation point. and he has been brilliant this weekend. 61 and 67 and troy merritt is a winner on the pga tour. another look, nick.

nick: it's fabulous, isn't it? whatever that little alignment change he made on friday night, write that one down. remember that one. boy, did that work for the weekend. bill: troy merritt is our champion and he's down with david feherty. david: thank you, billy. a lot of young men might have folded over that finishing stretch. you have to be incredibly proud of that. troy: when i told you coming october. the nerves aren't quite there but nonetheless hit really solid shots coming in. battled to the end and hats off to rickie for finishing strong. he's a great competitor, great player and i'm just happy i came out on top this time. david: congratulations on your first. first of many. we'll see new akron. well done. bill: memorable week for troy merritt, finishing with a birdie. a three-shot victory in the
