00:00:00The speaker feels pressured during the competition and regrets two missed shots.

00:00:17Lexi and I are attempting to break Rory's 61-course record at Royal Port Rush by playing a relaxed scramble from the red tees with simplified putting rules.

00:01:25They discuss strategies to get out of the bunker and position the ball close to the pin despite some penalties and challenging rough.

00:02:05A guy just made a great shot, and now the real challenge begins with a 21-foot downhill putt.

00:02:34They started with a par on the first hole but emphasized the need to birdie the par fives to have a chance at winning.

00:03:14The players are excitedly reacting to a shot while advising to avoid the bunker.

00:03:36I mishit the shot and took some ground, but we're in a good spot and aiming for an eagle.

00:04:03They successfully set up an eagle putt and are confident about making it.

00:04:24They recovered from earlier mistakes and are now back on track, facing a 130-yard par three.

00:04:46The speaker is excited about their strong start, being three under through three holes, and motivated to keep the momentum going to catch up to Rory.

00:05:21The shot landed in the middle of the fairway, much better than before, but I hit the ground and now have 64 yards to go.

00:05:49The speaker acknowledges a poor effort and plans to improve while preparing for a 60-yard attempt.

00:06:00The player is feeling good and on pace while making solid shots, despite an unlucky bounce on a short par four.

00:06:51A man discusses his short game and plans to have a conversation about it, while navigating up and down a hill.

00:07:15The ball was much faster than expected and needed to hit the hole.

00:07:26They discuss a challenging par three hole with a tough green and slope, and one player chooses a nine iron.

00:07:59The speakers enthusiastically encourage and celebrate a successful recovery.

00:08:22They discuss a challenging golf shot that unexpectedly breaks right instead of left, aiming for an eagle on a par five to reach five or six under par.

00:08:59The fairway is narrow, but we can reach the green in two shots from 120 yards.

00:09:20They discuss golf shots, distances, and strategies, deciding to take a 120-yard shot and then playing 140 yards due to the pin's position.

00:10:07The first lie penalty really affected us, but I managed to win 1390 yards despite the rough situation.

00:10:36They are aiming for one or two more birdies to stay on pace by hole eight, a par four.

00:10:56The ball landed in thick grass about 38 yards away, which isn't too bad.

00:11:13Lexi made a great shot from the short grass, leaving a makeable 17-foot putt to the pin.

00:11:50They are determined to make the putt and encourage each other to keep going.

00:12:09Lexi makes a great shot on the par four 243-yard hole, setting up a birdie opportunity.

00:12:42Lexi delivers the best kick, boosting their confidence that they might actually succeed.

00:13:17They are six under through the front nine and optimistic about breaking Rory's record, with part two coming Sunday after the Open Championship.

⛳ The challenge is to break Rory McIlroy's record score of 61 at Royal Port Rush, set when he was just 16 years old.

00:00:17>> Hey everyone, welcome back to the SkyRack YouTube channel. I'm here with Lexi and we have a very, very fun and exciting challenge to go through with you today. >> Yeah.

Perfect. Keep going. >> A little right. >> Keep going. >> Might be on opposite sides of the fairway in the rough. >> I feel like we should take yours.
