Marilyn will putt from the fifth line.

Bob asks "Fingers" to give the inspiration putt like Frank would. He told her to do her shoulders and not push it...but she never does it. :P

Time for her putt... strong and a bit to the left, but it sinks into the hole on the rebound!

Marilyn putts... also a bit to the left, but the rebound misses. (outer shot only, no splitscreen)

But remember, it's Hole in One... or Two!

Marilyn putts again... straight into the hole! (back shot only, no splitscreen)

Marilyn wins the car! She starts chasing Bob around, and he hides behind the sign to throw to commercial. :oldlol:
