Transcript (drum music) Is it on? (laughing) Oh, man, that s pitiful. Hi, I m Larry Fitzgerald. I m here at Whisper Rock, number at the Upper Course. I am attempting to hit a yard shot on the green. I have five shots and I hope to put them all on the green. That s wishful thinking. [Man] That s looking good. That s gonna be all over it. [Larry] Get a bounce, bounce. [Man] Oh, that s on there. [Larry] Settle. Aw. [Man] That s gotta count. [Larry] No good on that one. [Man] Donating to the desert. [Larry] Draw. No good, now the money ball. This is for a $,. I plan on putting this one on. No go. Alright, we got $, I m happy with that. I m yards away from the green. I feel much, much more comfortable with a wedge in my hand, than I do getting off the tee, so I hope to put all of em on, but not just on, I wanna be in birdie range though, so, that s what I m shooting for. Wish me luck. Oh, got collared. That get up, ah, goodness. Third one on. Alright, I m four for four. This is my fifth and final shot. I m gonna put this one close. Bradley, TK, watch this. You guys could even do this. Chicken dinner. (laughing) [Man] Good job. Alright, here we are, working on some chip shots. My friends always joke about me being a scratch golfer around the greens, and a off the tee. I don t think it s too far fetched, but I feel very comfortable when I have a wedge in my hand, and I m gonna try to make a couple of these. Thin to win. That s one bladed wedge up there. I can make that putt. Okay, I m gonna bump this one off the hill. (applauding) (sighing) I didn t blade that one. It was a bottom-groover, but it wasn t bladed. Our fifth and final shot, this is worth $. Golf Digest, you guys are just too generous. [Man] Break baby, break. (applauding) Five for five. Look at the delicate nature of that rake job. That s pretty good. Like you ve done that before. I don t mind green-side bunkers, fairway bunkers are my nemesis. So, I hope to put a, I hope to put these five shots pretty close. Stayed on? [Man] Beauty. (laughing) We have some outtakes, that s for sure. Hey Brad. Is it on? (laughing) Oh, man, that s pitiful. Alright, this is the fifth and final shot. I m gonna try not to decel on this last one. It s worth and I need to get this close. (clapping) So, Golf Digest has been too generous to me. They ve now allowed me to roll five putts for $. I m elated. I ve got to put all my focus into rolling these in. [Man] Ah, good putt man. Alright, this is my fifth and final putt. [Man] We know it s makeable. I m gonna make this Brad. (clapping) Golf Digest, thank you so much for having me. I had a wonderful time. Steph Curry, I ve got to see about you man. Today I was able to do two things I really enjoy, playing golf and giving back to a worthy cause. In , I unfortunately lost my mother to breast cancer, so, a lot of the time I spend goes to raising awareness to prevent anybody else from passing away from such a bad disease. My mother was also in the business of education, my grandmother was a school teacher and my mother s sisters were also teachers. If I wasn t playing in the National Football League, that s something that I would want to be doing myself. Bridging the gap in education is something I think is truly, truly special.
