Stacy Lewis demonstrates how to hit out of a plugged lie.


Transcript

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING] Pretty nasty shot we have here.

Yeah not the best spot here.

I wanted you to show me how you play the plug lie.

I think you picked a hard one for me.

My dear, you've handle every shot today.

All right.

What are you going to do here?

So for these I actually close the face down a little bit.

Sure.

Play it more back in the stance. I mean the biggest thing here is we got to aim it. We just got to barely get it out of the bunker and let it fall all the way around there. So the swing on these-- I mean, it's very steep. Just down into the ball.

Pop motion.

Pop it down. I mean, we're just trying to basically get as much sand as we can. And sometimes I'll try to even kind be, it will be steep. But then kind of open the face a little bit.

I was hoping you were going to say that. You go down closed and then twist it.

Right at impact.

Exactly.

That way, helps it come out a little bit softer. I mean, not all buried lies you can do that on. But some you can get away with it. So we'll give this one a go here.

And of course if you hit this poorly, it's going in the water. So that's why it's stressful, right?

No worries.

Or you could do that.

Or you just do that.

Or you just do that. Or, or--

What else you got for me?

Or you just do that.

Got anything else for me?

Woo.
