The Big Break Season 4 Episode 12, titled "Bunker Down," follows the remaining competitors as they face a series of challenges on the course, including a focus on bunker shots. The episode begins with a close-up of each player in a confessional-style interview, discussing their nerves and excitement about the upcoming challenges. They then head out to the course where they will face a variety of bunker shots, including uphill, downhill, and long-distance shots.
The first challenge involves hitting a bunker shot from a downhill lie. The players must aim their shots at a target and try to get the ball as close as possible. Meanwhile, the judges watch closely, evaluating each shot's trajectory, spin, and distance. The players struggle with the downhill lie, and some shots end up too short or too far. However, one competitor stands out with an impressive shot that lands just a few feet from the target.
The second challenge involves a long-distance bunker shot. The players must hit the ball over a water hazard and onto a green located far away. The judges point out that this shot is particularly difficult since the sand can make it challenging to get the ball airborne. Some of the players struggle with this shot, and end up hitting the ball too low or too far, into the water or the rough. However, a few competitors perform very well, hitting the ball high and landing it on the green.
Next, the players face an uphill bunker shot. This shot is especially challenging because the ball must go up a steep hill and then roll onto the green. The judges emphasize the importance of getting the right amount of spin and trajectory on this shot. Some of the players struggle with the uphill lie, hitting the ball too low or too high. However, one competitor manages to get the perfect amount of spin and lands the ball within a few feet of the target.
The episode then shifts to a competition between two players. They must face off in a one-on-one bunker challenge where they each hit five shots at various targets. The first player to get three shots closer to the target wins. The judges watch closely as the players hit their shots, evaluating their form and technique. The atmosphere is tense as the competition is very close, but ultimately one player emerges victorious.
The episode concludes with a final challenge. The players must hit a bunker shot from a difficult lie, with the ball partially buried in the sand. The judges note that this shot requires a lot of skill and precision. The players psycho themselves up and take their best shot. Some players struggle with this shot, hitting the ball too hard or too soft. However, one contestant nails the shot perfectly, hitting the ball with just the right amount of force and spin.
Throughout the episode, contestants work hard to show off their skills, and the judges provide feedback and insight. The episode emphasizes the importance of proper technique and focus when it comes to hitting bunker shots. Overall, the episode showcases the intense competition and high stakes of The Big Break.
