>> Welcome to the Topgolf Tour update.
I'm Shane Bacon.
And checking in on the Travelocity tour stop map,
we're out west first in Sacramento, California.
And a reminder, this is the first ever Topgolf in California.
And then we'll move on to Chicago, make sure the winds are down, so
players can compete and possibly move on to Las Vegas.
But let's start in California and Sacramento.
>> A beautiful day in Northern California, and a lot of new teams competing for
the chance to go to Las Vegas.
>> Phil Krass and Ryan Blair not one of those teams.
Competed in Phoenix and made the trip to the state capital to give it another shot.
We also have a promising father-daughter team competing.
>> I'm just carrying the team.
>> Whatever.
[SOUND] >> They were on a mission and
ended up posting big numbers in the qualifier.
Looking at the leaderboard, they made it into the finals as the number four seed.
>> Krass and Blair getting closer to finding California gold.
And Dunn and Brown sitting up top, dominating the field in the qualifier.
In the finals, team Bondura struggled in game one.
Dunn and Brown continued to play well,
earning a trip to Las Vegas as Team Sacramento.
>> I honestly didn't know where we were at the end, so
missing that final ball on shot 20 was kind of a dagger for me.
But apparently, our first round scores got us there.
We're definitely excited to represent Roseville in Vegas.
>> Congratulations to Dunn and Brown.
They will be headed to Sin City as the California representatives.
We head east to the Windy City for the next leg on tour,
where the competition is getting underway.
[SOUND] >> Topgolf Chicago.
>> You know it, Vegas.
>> Going to Vegas, one team, one dream.
>> Yep. [SOUND]
>> Ahn and Tutwiler came out strong in
the qualifier easily earning them the top spot in the finals.
[SOUND] >> Looking at the rest of the leaderboard,
some strong teams at the top could give Ahn and Tutwiler a run for their money.
[SOUND] >> In the finals, the sixth seed, Lang and
Paulish, were emerging as the team to beat.
Ahn and Tutwiler were struggling to get it going, maybe feeling the pressure.
Lang and Paulish had the lead following game one, and
never looked back in game two.
Tutwiler, clearly under a bunch of pressure.
[SOUND] >> Lang and
Paulish are the Chicago regional champions.
[SOUND] >> Today, we talked to our teammates and
everyone was on board with the same game plan.
And pretty much- >> [CROSSTALK] [INAUDIBLE]-
>> Drank beer and hit the ball straight.
>> Yep, straight and strong, going strong.
>> Gold.
[SOUND] >> Congratulations to Lang and Paulish,
Team Chicago, who will be headed to Las Vegas and
have a chance at winning $50,000.
>> Next week, the Topgolf Tour moves on to Kansas City and Denver, Colorado.
We had some fun teams out of Denver a year ago.
We'll see who rolls out of that.
Make sure you check back for updates and to see which teams advance,
as they're all looking to make it to Las Vegas and a chance at $50,000.
For the Topgolf Tour, I'm Shane Bacon.
