Tessitore: "Holey Moley" golfers are a special breed.
Not driven by money nor fame.
Yeah! Tessitore: They practice
because they're passionate. Whoo!
They play for the experience.
They play for the love of the game.
Yes!
And it's the spirit of the amateur athlete that ‐‐
[ Record scratches ] Whoo! Okay, time out, time out.
"Holey Moley's" going pro,
and you better get used to it, sister.
What's so good about amateurs, anyway?
I once went to an amateur dentist.
The guy almost killed me.
It's not that he didn't love teeth.
I mean, he loved teeth, but passion and formal training
are two completely different things.
Yeah, well...
Anyway, long story short,
my mouth makes the sound of an oboe now.
Want to hear it? No, I don't.
[ Crowd groans ]
‐Whoo! ‐Mm!
Eight world‐class athletes...
Aah!
...three rounds of extreme mini golf. Boom!
"Holey Moley," baby!
One winner, a final putt that's gonna be worth
a quarter of a million dollars.
Hi, everybody. I'm Joe Tessitore.
I'm Rob Riggle. This is...
Together: "Holey Moley 3‐D."
In 2‐D.
♪
It's another beautiful night here at the Holey Moley course.
Rob, isn't it very possible
that if "Holey Moley" goes pro, goes big time
the way you and Steph are talking about,
that we would lose some of that magic?
Oh, we will. We will.
But what we lose in untainted sportsmanship
we gain back in some sick after‐parties.
Everyone knows pro athletes party their faces off.
I once crashed this party
thrown by a bunch of these jockeys, right?
I mean, there was cake, punch. There was a clown.
Yeah, that sounds like you were at
a kid's birthday party, Rob.
No, they were jockeys.
One of them, Timmy, got to blow out the candles
and got tons of presents.
They were all about this, uh, tall.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, how 'bout we just focus on tonight?
Round 1, we're going to have eight golfers
that are gonna face off.
The winners are gonna compete in a sudden death Round 2.
Only the best will make it to the final round.
And that's where you play for the plaid jacket,
the cherished gold putter,
and a chance to make the season finale,
where one of our champions will make a putt
worth a quarter million dollars.
[ Cheering ]
Man: Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
‐Whoo, whoo whoo! ‐Whoo!
The action's about to begin,
so let's head down to our first hole of the evening.
‐Hey! ‐Whoo‐whoo!
Alright, it is time for Holey Matrimony.
Our golfers are going to send their putt
down the pathway of love, under the wedding arch,
and on to the dance floor.
Then they have to run down the moving conveyor belt...
[ Woman screams ] ...take the leap of faith
through a rotating diamond ring...
Ohh!
...and on to a revolving wedding cake.
If you take the plunge into the water...
‐Oh! ‐[ Screams ]
...it's a penalty stroke.
Woman: Yeah!
Let's take a look at who is squaring off first.
You ready?
Let's make it happen!
Gennessa Ewald and Brucie Rosenberg
are gonna meet up on Holey Matrimony.
My name is Bruce Rosenberg.
I'm 53 years old, and I'm a beer vendor.
Ice cold beer here!
Basketball, football, baseball, concerts.
You name it, I'm probably serving one of these.
Ice cold beer!
When I'm not balancing beer on my shoulder,
I like to unwind and play some putt‐putt.
Yeah! Whoo!
My goal is to go from selling liquid gold
to winning the putter made of gold. Yeah!
I'm Beer Man Bruce with a hole in one.
I'm Gennessa Ewald, I'm 37 years old,
and I'm from Covina, California.
I might just be the strongest girl
to compete on "Holey Moley."
Since I was 14 years old, I've been throwing heavy things far.
I don't know why. I'm just really strong.
Yeah!
Golf is a huge part of my life.
I have two little boys,
and we love to go mini golfing together.
It's just something we do for fun as a family.
I'm not afraid of the "Holey Moley" obstacles.
The "Holey Moley" obstacles should be afraid of me.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Tessitore: Gennessa is up first. Got it.
You know, it's one of the longest putts
we've ever had in "Holey Moley" history.
And as a power athlete, that should help her out greatly.
This reminds me of my wedding. This remind you of your wedding?
Uh, not at all.
Bruce: Oh. Come on, baby!
Lookin' good. Riggle: Oh. Hey. Oh.
Tessitore: And she runs it down the aisle.
Not bad. Bruce: Not bad.
Almost to the green.
Oh, boy.
Oh, this is a lot of spinning stuff.
There is a lot of motion.
Joe, this is ‐‐
this is making me dizzy.
Come on, G.
Here she goes, down the aisle,
trying to time out that wedding ring.
[ Screams ]
Oh! Oh, oh!
Oh, my gosh. Oh.
This is just like my wedding. This is exactly like it.
As she's going down the aisle, she realized,
"The wedding ring has closed on me."
Yeah. [ Screams ]
And that'll be a stroke penalty for Gennessa.
Gennessa: One, two, three. Hey, this is Bruce.
You know, it's actually Brucie.
He's a high energy beer vendor.
Yeah, he's the "Beer here!" guy at a stadium.
Get your cold, cold one!
And now Brucie Rosenberg from Maryland.
[ Exhales deeply ]
On to the green he goes, on to the dance floor.
Yes!
Oh, that was almost a hole in one!
Looking good.
Look at how fast that wedding ring is rotating.
Do you try to dive through the whole thing?
Let's see what his strategy is. Here goes Brucie.
Ohh!
Oh, no! Oh, God!
No. No, no, no, no, Bruce.
Whoo!
[ Laughs ] The man just ran full speed,
just full speed without any care at all.
They call it NAFOD in the military.
It's called No Apparent Fear Of Death.
[ Laughs ] And it can actually get you kicked out of the service.
And apparently Brucie Rosenberg is NAFOD,
'cause he just propelled himself
with complete disregard of all personal safety
into a big object. Whoa!
[ Crowd cheering ]
That'll wake you up. That was kind of refreshing.
Gennessa Ewald is away.
She's just on the edge of the green,
and she does have that ridge to contend with.
♪
[ Crowd cheering ]
Off the bank.
Oh! Oh! Bruce: That's close.
And it tucks behind the obstacle.
Guess I'm away. Whew!
This for the win from Brucie Rosenberg.
Look at Big Brucie on the Xtreme LED screen.
That LED is extreme.
When we wrap this thing, I'm calling dibs on that.
I don't think ‐‐ I think it's got to go
back to the manufacturer.
For the win, Brucie Rosenberg.
Wow!
Whoo! He puts it in.
Brucie Rosenberg is the winner on Holey Matrimony.
Oh!
He is on to round number 2.
Dancing on the dance floor. Whoo! Whoo!
Aah! [ Laughing ]
Hey, hey! Scram, you rodent. Get out of here.
Beat it! You don't belong here.
Tessitore: Let's get over to Jeannie Mai to find out more
about our next hole. Come on!
Mai: Thanks, Joe.
This next hole really ramps up the excitement.
It's Agony of Defeat.
[ Screams ]
Mai: Golfers ski down the slope and jump off the ramp
as far as they can.
Whoever jumps the furthest gets the better ball position.
Tessitore: Thank you, Jeannie.
So much on the line for our competitors tonight
as the Alpine horns play.
Oh, they're playing my song, Joe.
It this your jam, Rob? This is totally my jam.
[ Horns playing ]
[ Laughs ]
Oh, I'm at the club right now, Joe.
I'm at the Alpine Club.
Oh! Oh!
Squaring off in this Round 1 matchup,
it's 38‐year‐old basketball mentor
Justin Rhoane
and 41‐year‐old psychic Nikki Wantz.
I'm Nikki Wantz, I'm from Hagerstown, Maryland,
and I'm the Twisted Mystic of Mini Golf.
I'm an intuitive, medium, clairvoyant, psychic.
I've always been into the metaphysical,
and I always have my third eye open ‐‐
for the most part. [ Thunder crashes ]
I've been playing mini golf since I was about 6 years old.
I love it, and my grandparents were great golfers,
pros at the club ‐‐ the country club.
Unfortunately, they passed away. But you know what?
They're telling me that I'm gonna win.
I've got this because I've got the universe on my side.
[ Thunder crashes ]
Hello, everyone. I'm Justin Rhoane.
I'm 38 years old, and I'm a basketball mentor.
I've been playing golf pretty much my entire life.
It's been one of my first loves and one of my first passions.
Putting is just like shooting a free‐throw in basketball.
I've played in hundreds of basketball tournaments,
but nothing compares
to what we're about to do here at "Holey Moley."
And I want to be on the big stage at the end
holding up the trophy. Boom!
Got to stretch out these legs, you know?
He's so cute.
Tessitore: Justin Rhoane, here we go.
Alright. [ Sighs ]
Down the ski jump.
How far can he launch himself
to try to get the better ball position?
Here goes Justin.
[ Laughs ]
And it was an awkward departure.
Don't forget, it's the first body part
to touch the water.
Let's see what that first body part is here
on the "Holey Moley" telestrator.
Go for it, Rob.
So right here, you'll see the launch
when he comes into frame.
Sure, and watch how flexible the skis are.
So it doesn't give you much to push off.
They gave away now. Now, what hits first?
Oh, the foot! The foot hits first, Rob!
That's right. Look at this.
And it's 17 feet.
That shows you the kind of body discipline
you got to have when you're in midair.
I got this. Whew!
Alright. Let's tell you about Nikki Wantz.
She's a psychic. Hmm.
An actual psychic.
Well, then she should know who wins.
Yes.
I just wonder, how many voices is she hearing?
Can she hear me now? Watch this.
[ Warbling ]
I just sent her a message.
Is there any chance the message was
"Get on the chair, the ski jump?" It actually was.
I said, "It's time to get on the chair."
This is so exciting.
Easy money, easy money.
16 1/2 feet is the mark to beat for Nikki Wantz.
How bad does she want it?
The psychic from Maryland. Here we go.
[ Screams ]
Oh! Oh!
What the...?
That was a big belly flop.
This is pure "sack of potatoes" stuff.
This is just the momentum in a sack of potatoes.
Uh, boom. She took no initiative, Joe.
So she took no initiative. [ Laughs ] That was...
She let the chair just vomit her out
into the water. [ Screams ]
Officially, Course Marshal Joe says
it's 16 for Nikki Wantz,
16 1/2 for Justin Rhoane.
And Justin will have the better ball position.
What point is he ever going to get his clothes
properly tailored?
Look at the bagginess of these pants.
He might be a fan of Billie Eilish.
She wears baggy clothes, too.
[ Laughs ]
We're gonna take a quick break here on "Holey Moley."
When we come back, it's Justin versus Nikki
on Agony of Defeat.
Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley."
While you were away, psychic Nikki Wantz
got off to a very shaky start,
nearly taking out one of the horn players.
How about a "fore"? Fore!
That cleared the path
for basketball mentor Justin Rhoane
to claim victory. Boom! Boom!
Nikki doesn't get what Nikki wants.
Apparently not.
I just totally bombed out.
Good job. Good job. Good job. Good job.
So, Justin Rhoane advances to Round 2
with Beer Man Brucie Rosenberg.
It is now time for Turfing USA.
Here's how it works.
Golfers have to putt their ball across the big blue wave.
But then they have to surf their way to the green.
I did it!
If they wipe out and fall in the water,
that'll be a stroke penalty.
Riggle: What do you think that wave is made out of?
It's just a bunch of sheetrock,
maybe even some plaster of Paris.
I think it's frozen water.
You think that is frozen water? Yep.
You believe that we actually have a mold
that we could create or an ice sculptor comes out?
Yeah, that's probably where most of our money went this year.
You think?
[ Cheering ]
Peri'don: Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Whoo‐whoo‐whoo! Let's go!
Here's our next Round 1 matchup.
22‐year‐old Peri'don Castille
taking on 28‐year‐old Alex Phillips.
Alex: I'm Alex Phillips from Reno, Nevada,
and I'm one of the top 10 women long drivers in the world.
My longest competitive drive is 377 yards.
But who's counting?
I've been playing golf my whole life,
basically as soon as I could walk.
I've been a pro golfer for almost six years,
so I'm definitely coming on "Holey Moley"
to prove that long drivers can putt, too.
My strategy is to make the putt
so I don't have to deal with all the obstacles.
Yes!
Of course I'm worried about going in the water.
I just got these curls done. [ Laughs ]
Are you guys getting my good side?
This is my good side, the side with the dimple.
[ Chuckles ] There he is.
My name is Peri'don Castille. I'm from Dallas, Texas.
And everybody knows me as "Swaggy P."
I got a whole lot of swag.
I putt with swag all day, every day.
Let's go!
[ Laughs ]
I'm sorry.
Yo, let's take a selfie.
I've been playing golf for about 20 years now.
I do carry a plus 2.1 handicap.
I wouldn't say that I'm impossible to beat,
but you've got to do something real special.
"Holey Moley"!
Boy, I'll tell you. Peri'don Castille is energized.
He is psyched up to play Turfing USA.
Hey!
Riggle: Peri'don Castille, one of the better names
on our competition tonight.
Read the wave, ride the wave.
20 years he's been playing golf.
What? He's only 22!
There it is. Peri'don: There it is.
Tessitore: Here is his tee shot, off that back ramp.
Peri'don: Do something freaky.
That's a great putt. Ooh, that is nice.
That is a great tee shot.
[ Laughs ] Peri'don Castille is
on the green, but right now, his feet have to go on to that
very, very slippery surfboard,
and he has to try to stay dry
and find himself on the green.
If he doesn't, it's a stroke penalty.
Alex: Get low. Center your gravity.
I'm gonna say right now he is not gonna make it.
I'm from from Texas, bro. We ain't got this.
He is Luca Brasi, sleeping with the fishes tonight, Joe.
Oh, Lord. Okay.
"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."
Help me out here. You know what I'm talking about?
Oh, he kept his balance. What?!
He did it, but here comes the water.
[ Laughs ]
Oh, no!
He almost did a cartwheel off.
Watch this.
He did a great job
surviving the initial surge of the surfboard,
but then halfway through his run here on Turfing USA,
it's the water cannon that knocks him off.
He's not happy. He's not happy at all.
That is not a happy camper. That is someone who's shocked.
Alex Phillips, one of the best
long drive golfers in the world.
Top 10 female.
Tee shot here on Turfing USA.
Up the wave, and it goes into the water.
So Alex Phillips will be putting from the drop zone,
and that drop zone position
here on Turfing USA is very difficult.
She'll be in the sand on the other side.
Now this the fun part. [ Laughs ]
Oh, I'm nervous.
Embrace it. Be one with the board.
Tessitore: She wants to be barefoot.
Oh, man.
I haven't seen this since "Gidget."
"Gidget"?
Yeah. You know, Sally Field.
I know Sally Field's in "Gidget," sure.
Aah! Oh, had no shot.
There was no chance right there.
Alright, let's walk through this.
This is like somebody unexpectedly turned on
a treadmill, and she wasn't anticipating it.
Yeah, she was never in it. She was never in it.
Never in it.
I like your putt better than my putt.
Peri'don Castille in far better position
than where Alex Phillips finds herself
here from the drop zone.
She lies 2.
Oh, I got that one there.
Boy, too much on that.
Wow, she put some mustard on that, as they say.
Ooh. Okay.
So she lies 3.
Ooh, you want back in?
Yeah, yeah, I got you. I got you.
Tessitore: Peri'don Castille from Dallas, Texas,
a 2 handicap. Wow.
You know, and he's competed in the Nature Valley Open
at Pebble Beach.
He's been in the US amateur qualifier.
I mean, this is a legit golfer.
Yes.
This for the win.
Oh!
Wrap around!
Wrap around and in for Peri'don Castille!
His dream of putting for the plaid jacket
and the quarter million dollars remains alive.
Let's go! "Holey Moley" 2021, baby!
Peri'don Castille!
Love that name. Love that name.
Boy, that was impressive.
22‐year‐old Peri'don Castille getting that third spot
going into the second round.
Good golfers tonight. Good golfers.
Oh, yeah. Very talented.
Terrible surfers. Great golfers.
Very good golfers.
And now "A Vision For the Future of Mini Golf"
with Stephen Curry.
Our "Holey Moley" course designers are hard at work
creating the most mind‐blowing holes
this or any other hole‐oriented sport has ever seen.
Right now, our team is traveling the globe
looking for inspiration.
Who knows where the idea for the next amazing hole
will come from.
Which reminds me, if you have an idea
that you would think would be a great "Holey Moley" hole,
keep it to yourself.
These guys are pros, and odds are,
your idea is not as good as you think.
That was "A Vision For the Future of Mini Golf"
with Stephen Curry.
Tessitore: Look at the view that Sir Goph has there.
Quite lovely. See the view? He's out there on the boat with his son.
Fishing with the boy. Having a good time.
Beautiful moments between a father and a son
that happen out fishing.
Oh, wait a minute. What is that?
What? We have cameras everywhere, Goph!
Yeah, he has one job.
You have one job! Keep the big gopher head on.
We're not asking for much.
[ Gopher chuckles ]
It is time for Fishing Hole,
sponsored by TakeMeFishing.org.
You know, Joe, I always wanted to learn more about
fishing and boating. Yes.
You know? I got the perfect website for you then.
Tell me.
It's right there on the hut. Oh!
TakeMeFishing.org.
What was that name again? TakeMeFishing.org.
Okay, that's what I thought. Yeah.
Well, here's how this hole plays.
Golfers have to putt their ball over the narrow bridge,
under the giant fish.
Then our golfers have to get across that narrow bridge
to the green.
[ Screams ] And, Rob,
if they fall in the water, it's gonna be a stroke penalty.
Here we go. Our last Round 1 matchup
on Fishing Hole, and it's a doozy.
Alright.
30‐year‐old Rachel Lentsch, she's from Minnesota,
taking on Averee Dovsek from California.
Hi. My name's Averee Dovsek. I'm 21 years old.
And I am the host of my own podcast
called "Why You Suck at Golf."
I've been golfing seriously since the eighth grade,
which has gotten me a good high school career
with varsity all four years and to the position of
a Division I collegiate golfer.
The rest is history.
I'm here at "Holey Moley" to prove to my podcast listeners
that I don't suck at golf.
Let's go!
My name is Rachel Lentsch. I'm from St. Paul, Minnesota.
And I'm the Ruthless Rugby Rucker.
I've been playing rugby since senior in high school,
and I was the captain of my college team,
and then I went on to play for the Women's Premier League.
I definitely do not have the size that most people think
of a rugby player, but watch out because
I am mighty on the course.
I know I have an edge here
because you have to be tough to play rugby
and I can take anything they throw at me. Yeah!
I'm the Ruthless Rugby Rucker, and I'm here to win.
Don't ruck with me.
[ Laughs ]
Rachel Lentsch.
30‐year‐old from St. Paul, Minnesota.
This looks good. It's gonna hit the back ramp.
Come back. Ooh, it's a little too much.
Too much on it, as it retreats
and creates a longer putt that may have to deal with
the back end of that ridge.
You [bleep] me?
She talks like a rugby player.
Sure does.
[ Chuckles ] You got this. It's just a little fish.
Yeah, you know, you just got to...
You just got to get ready.
And look at those water cannons go
here on Fishing Hole.
Riggle: There we go. Full blast.
What do you got, Rachel?
Averee: Whoo!
Here goes the former rugby player,
past one, past two.
Oh! Oh, she almost made it!
Almost! Rachel almost made it.
What a great effort she gave.
Let's go to the replay, Joe.
It's a beautiful run by Rachel Lentsch.
Beautiful run. Watch her footing.
It was just the footing at the end, right there.
The left foot catches the edge, and it gives out.
If she grabs that left foot and pushes off of it,
she's through, Rob, I'm telling you.
You got to all‐out sprint here, my man.
I'm telling you, you got to start, stop.
Alright, Averee Dovsek.
Whoo!
This is very interesting.
Averee Dovsek is a 21‐year‐old
college golfer, podcaster.
The title of the podcast is "Why You Suck at Golf."
I know. I've been on it several times.
But... She keeps telling me.
But it's a new thing every time.
So still can't figure it out.
Averee's tee shot here on the Fishing Hole.
Very nice putt here. Very nice.
Can it play the ramp? No, it drifted off.
Ooh.
It's tucked behind the ramp over near the fishing camp.
That's a crime.
Averee: Oh. Now Averee has to get past
three jumping fish and the water cannons.
Oh, my God.
Fish to be named later, Joe.
Sushi. Nemo. No, well, no.
Nobody wants sushi. Alright.
Oh, here she goes.
[ Screams ]
Oh! That was pathetic!
That was the slow walk approach. Yeah.
She went gentle into that good night. That's out.
[ Screams ] Scratch that from the list.
Yeah, the slow approach is out.
You got it, Averee. Whew!
Okay, I got this. Let's see the line here.
Tessitore: So Averee will incur the stroke penalty,
as has Rachel.
This is Averee.
Kick off the hill.
Good putt. Okay, that's not too bad.
Nice, Averee.
Riggle: A little tricky lay‐up there 'cause it landed...
I know. ...right by the ridge there.
It's gonna affect her backstroke.
It really is. Alright, Rachel.
Let's see it.
So she sits 3, so Rachel here,
this is for the win.
Ooh. Got this.
Oh, too much. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Way too much. Ooh, well.
Not a bad leave.
Could have been worse.
Tessitore: So they both sit 3.
Riggle: Well, she's not wasting any time, Joe.
Has she even lined this up?
Rachel: Yes! Yes, apparently she has.
She doesn't need any time.
How about that? Rachel Lentsch.
Nice putt! Alright.
Alright, pressure's on. You got it, Averee.
Here, grab your ball.
Tessitore: A 4 is carded.
Boy, she turned the heat up
Nice and easy.
Tessitore: Alright, Averee Dovsek will have a chance
to force a putt‐off.
Ohhh.
Aw! Oh, no!
Whoo!
The rugby player defeats the college golf captain.
Nice job. Good job.
How about that?
Whoo! Whoo!
Tessitore: So Rugby Rucker Rachel Lentsch
scores that final position in round number 2.
Riggle: Joe, the big question now on everybody's mind
right now ‐‐ is Avery going to be a guest
on her own podcast?
She should be.
Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley."
We are kicking off Round 2 action now,
and the competition just got serious.
[ Camera shutter clicks ] Oh, that's a keeper.
Oh, that's going on the wall, Joe.
[ Woman clears throat ] Hey.
Santa Claus isn't coming to town this time of year,
so we're heading up north to see the big guy,
play a little Ho Ho Hole.
Our golfers start by putting up the steep brick slope
and try to make it into Santa's Special.
That's how you get the best position across on to the green.
But it's not done there.
The golfers themselves
have to hold on to Santa's sleigh
and head right into...
Whoa!
...the North Pole.
Got to stay dry, though,
hold on to that pole, because if you go into
the frozen waters below, it's a stroke penalty.
Alright. Let's go, let's go, let's go!
This is a big one right here on Ho Ho Hole.
One of our two competitors is gonna make it
to tonight's final.
Will it be Justin Rhoane or Peri'don Castille?
Now Peri'don Castille.
Right now, what he could use is the advantage
of that center slot.
Oh! Oh, he just missed it.
What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be?
Naughty!
He'll have the worst position on the green, Rob.
Oh.
[ Crowd cheers ]
Castille's ball is over to the right,
almost against the ridge.
Okay.
Peri'don Castille, if he goes into
the freezing cold water, it's a stroke penalty.
[ Bell clangs ]
Here he goes on Santa's sleigh,
trying to hang on to the North Pole.
Oh, what a fall he took.
Wow! Right on his back. What a fall he took.
Rob, he went from nearly the top of the pole
all the way down into the near freezing‐cold water.
And now he's swimming. Ouch.
Look at that look on his face. Right there. Right there.
What does that look say right there, Rob?
That says, "Why? Why? Why?"
[ Cheering ]
Justin Rhoane, his tee shot here on Ho Ho Hole.
Remember, he beat the psychic Nikki Wantz in Round 1.
Oh, he came up short. Oh. Darn it.
Got to stay away from that Naughty slot.
No chance. Justin: Naughty.
Wow.
Oh, that barely came out.
Listen to these Santas. Yeah.
Tease Justin Rhoane at your own risk.
[ Bell clangs ]
Can he do it?
Yes!
He's got to climb up there. Don't slip, Justin.
Yes! He's done it!
Justin Rhoane survives the North Pole.
Let's go!
He had absolutely no grip with his feet,
so it's this bear hug at the end right here that was critical.
That was great stuff out of Justin,
and he doesn't have the stroke penalty.
Keep that in mind.
Rhoane, who says he's a baller in the streets
and a putter on the green.
45 feet away. He can use that ice bank.
Here he goes over the first ridge, over the second ridge.
Oh! Here's the bank.
Here's the bank!
That's a very nice putt by Justin Rhoane
He sits 2,
and a very manageable putt remains for Justin Rhoane.
Peri'don Castille lies 2.
I feel like this is a must make.
I think that's about as difficult of a putt
as you can have in "Holey Moley."
Yeah, it's up there.
[ Crowd shouting ]
Off the bank,
and it's a fine putt.
Nice putt.
Ooh, did he ever need that.
Rhoane will be putting for the win,
but Castille put himself in a good spot
to try to card a 4.
Alrighty.
For the win and a trip to the final round.
Gets it! Oh! Round the world.
Get a little bit of that!
Where you at?! Where you at?!
Oh, yeah. Come on, come on!
I need more than that!
I need more than that, baby! Let's go!
Justin Rhoane with the win on Ho Ho Hole.
Isn't that a perfect vision ‐‐
the Naughty sign with that guy next to it.
What is he doing?
Oh, 20 bucks he eats it. 20 bucks he eats it.
Look at this. 20 bucks he eats it.
No! 20 bucks.
No, no, no, no, no.
Eat it. Eat it. Don't eat it. Don't.
Eat it, Spalding. Don't.
Eat it. Don't.
Eat it, Spalding. It's not what you think.
Don't ‐‐ Aaah! Aaah!
He ate it.
I can't believe it. Aaaah!
[ Laughs ]
Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley."
Our final Round 2 battle, it's about to get underway,
and it is time for Corn Hole.
Let's find out a little more
about this hole from our resident golf pro.
It's time for Corn Hole.
That's right.
We're taking one of the world's most versatile crops
and making it even more versatile
because today, it's becoming
a genetically engineered extreme mini golf hole.
Golfers start by teeing off down the 30‐foot long pathway,
hoping to bank their ball off the bottom of the scarecrow
and up into the corn hole.
Next, it's on your mark,
set, pop. [ Ding ]
They'll race across the giant corn cob,
trying to avoid these kernels that can pop, pop, pop.
[ Screams ] If they fall off the course,
it's a penalty stroke.
Pop, piggity pop.
Whoo! Whoo!
Tessitore: And here they come.
Rachel: You ready for this?
Here we go. You're going down.
Oh, I don't think so.
Tessitore: Oh, we're in for a battle royale.
We got the Beer Man, Brucie Rosenberg
and the impressive Rugby Rucker Rachel Lentsch.
Both of them impressed in Round 1.
See what you got.
Rachel Lentsch.
She is an extremely good athlete as a former rugby player.
Takes the bounce, has a lot on it, a lot on it.
[ Crowd groans ]
Bruce: Nice shot. Rachel: Alright.
That was close. Not bad.
Lot of pepper in that gumbo.
Lot of pepper in the gumbo.
Rob, I really like Rachel's chances.
Absolutely.
She's fast, and she's tough.
Alright.
Look at her focus.
[ Ding ]
Go! She may have it!
Yes!
Oh, that was never in doubt.
Whoo! Whoo!
Tessitore: She made one of the most difficult obstacles...
Wow. ...look easy.
Whoo! That's all that rugby you play.
[ Laughs ]
Tessitore: She's smiling on the green.
She's laughing at our corn on the cob.
Laughing at our cob.
Whoo!
Brucie's tee shot.
There you go. Good run.
There is the kicker. That's a good one.
This is going to be good, Joe.
Bruce: Get in the hole! Oh.
Let's see if it settles. Good leave.
He's in much better position on the green than Rachel.
Alright. Nice putt.
Remember what Brucie Rosenberg does for a living.
He walks up and down the aisles
of major stadiums and arenas
as an ice cold beer salesman.
Joe, can we have a second?
Can we go back and watch what he did on Holey Matrimony?
All gas, no brakes Bruce. You remember.
He just said, "I have no plan.
I will just run straight into it."
Threw himself with reckless abandon, Joe.
And now he's back,
and he's gonna need to do that here.
You got it, Bruce.
Maybe. [ Laughs ]
He's gathering himself.
Watch that light on top of the popcorn microwave.
I can't wait to see this.
[ Ding ]
Brucie is off.
Oh! Oh, he got eaten alive.
Vaporized! Oh!
Vaporized! He just got annihilated.
Oh, my God!
I got popped. [ Laughs ]
Rachel is laughing right in his face.
Where's my hat?
Can't find his hat.
He was vaporized.
He vanished in a cloud of explosive gas.
Bring it home, Riggs. Here we go.
Never had a chance. Right there!
Oh, right in the face. Rachel: Got you good.
His face is buried in a kernel.
Oh, my gosh.
That was everything I hoped it would be.
Bruce: I got you. Alright.
This is not gonna be easy.
See what you got.
Pressure's on.
Tessitore: This for the win.
Oh. Pulled it a little bit.
Oh, and now she's got an even tougher putt.
Very tough with what she left, so she lies 2.
Oh, man.
That was tough.
Hey, Brucie's in position "A" now.
How quickly the tables have turned.
Yeah.
Whoa. It was a lay‐up.
That's a smart, smart play.
Smart play. I think that's the play.
The problem is, is you open the door
for a win for Brucie with the lay‐up.
Alright.
He's got to make it to win now.
I'm gonna make it happen.
Got this.
Brucie makes this putt, he will be playing
for the plaid jacket and the Golden Putter.
Oh, he ran it past! Pushed it.
And now it's way back out there,
even worse than before.
What?!
That's not good.
Her strategy now may pay off.
Rachel laying up, and now she could be in position
to card a 4 and win this
if Brucie struggles with what he left on the bone.
[ Groans ]
And she makes it. Whoo!
4. Beautiful strategy,
as you said it was, Rob. Nice.
All gas, no brakes has got one shot at redemption.
Alright. Putt of my life.
And I mean one shot. This is it.
Alright, no pressure.
Make it, and we have a putt‐off.
Miss it, and Rachel is in the final.
Oh, in and out!
You got to be kidding me! Yeah!
And Rachel Lentsch, the 30‐year‐old engineer
from St. Paul with the rugby background
will play for the Golden Putter, the plaid jacket,
and a step towards a quarter million dollars.
Watch out for her.
I'm gonna miss you, Brucie.
Good night, sweet prince.
[ Chuckles ]
Don't go anywhere.
The "Holey Moley" final when we return.
Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley."
Critical matchup here on King Parthur's court.
Round 3, a championship on the line,
a chance to stay the course for a quarter million dollars.
I‐I still am just baffled by the dolphin.
Hey!
I get it! It's a medieval dolphin.
This is a medieval‐themed hole!
We're jousting with knights. Real simple.
Was there or was there not dolphins 400 years ago?
We don't know that. We know it for a fact, sir.
Science. Science. [ Laughs ]
Uh‐oh. Here they come, Joe.
Tonight's finalists are ready.
Rachel: Oh, yeah.
We've got 30‐year‐old
former rugby player Rachel Lentsch
up against basketball mentor,
38‐year‐old Justin Rhoane.
And you know what's at stake ‐‐
the plaid jacket, the Golden Putter,
and the big chance at a quarter million dollars
in the season finale.
Hey, you may have heard of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
Well, on this hole, golfers do battle
with the Knight of the Green.
It's King Parthur's Court.
Golfers are gonna tee off down the checkered path.
They aim to clear that gap, looking to bank it
off the side of the sword.
Then they have to mount a horse...
[ Horse whinnies ] ...and go up against
Sir Putts‐a‐lot and joust him.
That's how you get to the green.
If Sir Putts‐a‐lot knocks them off...
[ Screams ]
...it's a stroke penalty.
Two very, very good athletes.
Basketball player on one side, rugby star on the other.
Well, this will be the true test.
[ Cheers and applause ] Rachel: Let's go, Justin.
I have a pen, too, now.
What do you need a pen for? I have a pen, as well, Joe.
You don't mark anything. [ Laughs ]
I'm the one that records all the history.
I'm the the one who documents the play properly.
Who's laughing now? You're just Mr. Jokey Joke.
Look at me! I'm funny!
I don't go... You don't do any of this.
..."Jokey Joke, look at me!"
I have a pen now, too. I'm important.
Look, I draw, and I write things.
Do you think by having a pen, you're important?
That's what ‐‐ I look over ‐‐ I see what you write.
This is not because I want to prove self‐worth.
By the way, America, I see what he's writing. I'm scoring.
Here's Justin Rhoane with his tee shot.
[ Cheering ]
Rachel: Oh, nice putt.
Hits the bank of the sword, bounces back,
and settles in.
I like that.
And it's gonna be a long putt from there,
but he was able to get over.
Rachel: Alright. You got that?
[ Cheering ]
Alright, Justin has to survive this
or else it's a penalty stroke.
[ Laughs ]
Here they go. Here they go.
It's on like Donkey Kong!
Oh! Sir Putts‐a‐lot! Oh!
Oh, he's trying to clothesline him.
Oh. Oh, he's in the drink. Aaah!
And he's in for a cool drink.
How about this replay here, Riggs?
Look at the face wash.
That's street jousting. That's street jousting.
[ Rachel laughs ]
Whoo!
Hey, Rachel Lentsch has impressed us
throughout this episode tonight.
She is fast. She's got great balance.
Rachel Lentsch.
Does it take the right bounce off the sword?
Yes. It does!
And, oh, it's right on the ridge!
It almost went over to the other side,
but instead, she's in good position.
Rachel versus Sir Putts‐a‐lot.
Here goes Rachel.
And...
she survives it!
Parries the lance to the side,
and Rachel Lentsch avoids the stroke penalty.
She is in good position here to win this final tonight
on King Parthur's Court.
Whoo!
Rob, every single obstacle we throw at Rachel,
she has no problem with.
She laughs at these challenges,
almost mocking us, Joe.
This for the win.
All comes down to this, Joe.
Yes! She did it!
She did it, Joe!
Yeah! Rachel Lentsch
just did it!
King Parthur's Court was no challenge.
Rachel wins!
She is one of the champions.
She gets the Golden Putter...
[ Cheers and applause ]
...the plaid jacket...
Yeah!
...and she will have the opportunity
for a quarter million dollars.
Wear this green jacket
to let the world know of your great accomplishment.
But get it tailored first.
We thought someone much bigger was gonna win.
Rachel: Whoo‐hoo!
You know, I got to tell you, Rob,
champions are attracted to champions.
This is the kind of athlete that Steph Curry wants
on "Holey Moley," as "Holey Moley" is going pro.
I think that's why I'm sitting here,
to be honest with you.
As a champion of what?
[ Laughs ]
I see what you did there.
I got it.
Thanks for joining us.
Tune in next week for more "Holey Moley."
