The 19 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: title pretty much sums up our Sunday at the Genesis 20 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: Invitational at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles. Patrick Cantley 21 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: led this tournament by five shots going into the weekend. 22 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: Can't Lay played sort of in different round on Saturday, 23 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: going one under par on the day. That opened the 24 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: door for some other people, and it looked like either 25 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: Luke List or Will Zalatoris might win it. On Sunday, Bo, 26 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: you were very much in Unlist last week. I piggybacked 27 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: you and made a bet on him outright at one 28 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: hundred and ten to one. I also threw a little 29 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: something on Xalatoris at fifty five to one, and List 30 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: in particular had this golden opportunity. He made the turn 31 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: on Sunday at I think he was minus sixteen something 32 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: like that. He had a two fifteen to two shot lead, 33 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: and then he came to the devilish little par four 34 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: tenth that we spent so much time talking about on 35 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: last week's show, one of my favorite holes in the world. 36 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: Not a great hole for List. On Sunday, he put 37 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: it in the one place you just can't afford to 38 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: put it, a bunker short right, which just makes for 39 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: an impossible approach did really well to get it at 40 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: the base of the green, but that left a long 41 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: lag pot. List not known as a great putter, left 42 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: that uphill lag put about ten v short and couldn't 43 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: make the par pot and it just seemed like that 44 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: sapped all of his momentum. Meanwhile, Hedeki Matsuyama was absolutely cooking. 45 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: He opened the round with three straight birdies, then just 46 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: seized the tournament by the throat on the back nine 47 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 1: with a six under par thirty. On the fifteenth hole, 48 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: along par four, Matsuyama hits his one hundred and eighty 49 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: nine yard approach shot to eight inches, and on the 50 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: next hole, par three, sixteen, he hits it to six 51 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: inches and bo I had stepped away from the TV 52 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: come back to see what I thought was a replay 53 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: of his approach on fifteen. No was his approach or 54 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: his t shot on sixteen that basically finished the same 55 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: tap in distance away on the same side of the cup, 56 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: so he for good measure, matsu Yama birdi's the par 57 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: five seventeenth and ends up winning by three shots, tying 58 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: the course record. Bo Your thoughts on the tournaments Hideki's 59 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: sublime Sunday a very shrewd wager on Luke List that 60 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: just didn't quite pan out. And anything else about the 61 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: Genesis Invitational that comes to mind. 62 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, Riviera, the back nine especially very unforgiving. You had 63 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 2: to be precise off the tee, especially to give yourself 64 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 2: a chance to have a decent approach angle. Matsuyama was masterful. 65 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: He hit all the fairways. He made some clutch part 66 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: saves on the end at the end of his front 67 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: nine that really gathered momentum for that historic We're no 68 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: hyperbole at all here, historic back nine on one of 69 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 2: the toughest back nines on the entire PGA tour. And 70 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 2: to be six under with three separate three birdie streaks 71 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: during that final round of sixty two to nine hunder 72 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: par one off of the course record. It was a 73 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 2: tournament record. It was the lowest round, lowest final round 74 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 2: ever at the at the Genesis, unbelievable round. Luke List 75 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: had all the momentum as he made the turn. He 76 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 2: had himself a nice birdie streak on the front nine. 77 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: He couldn't quite get it all together. He had three 78 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: consecutive fives after five consecutive threes on the front nine, 79 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 2: and it was that was curtains for him once he 80 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 2: missed a couple of fairways. He didn't have the juice. 81 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 2: He was struggling to make pars. Nobody else was doing 82 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: a little bit better. It was just a horrendous finish, 83 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 2: especially with how confident we were at the turn there. 84 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 2: One hundred and ten to one would have been extremely nice. 85 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: I didn't get shut out though I had. I had 86 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: the top twenty bet on Luke List, I had some 87 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: I had top top ten bet on Will's Alataurus. It 88 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: turned out okay. I didn't get completely washed out with 89 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: the disappointing finish, but yeah, it would have been really 90 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: nice to have one hundred and ten to one deposited 91 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 2: right into the bank roll. But we'll get them this week, right, right, Pat, Right? 92 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm hoping so bo. I mean, I did cash 93 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: in a DFS tournament and you know, didn't get those 94 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: outrights that I was looking for, those juicy outrights. One 95 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: of those would have been really nice. But yeah, I 96 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: mean it seems like we're moving in the right direction though, 97 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: after you know, all those long shots that we were 98 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: just not going to hit. So before we moved to 99 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: the Mexico open bo. Let me ask you this about 100 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: the final Sunday pairing Patrick Cantley and Xander Schoffley, good friends, 101 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: Ryder Cup partners, Southern California Natives. It just seemed like 102 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: the stage was set for them on Sunday to have 103 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: some sort of memorable head to head duel, and they 104 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: wound up as kind of sidelights on Sunday. And it 105 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: was odd because Cantlay had that massive lead he was 106 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: if you wanted to bet him after his round on Friday, 107 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: after he had opened with a sixty four and a 108 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: sixty five, it was minus one sixty five to bet 109 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: Patrick Cantley to win after Friday's round. So, yeah, exactly, 110 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: So things didn't go well for him on the weekend. 111 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: Schaffley shot a sixty five on Saturday to get himself 112 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: into contention, but then gets off to a real luggish 113 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: start on Sunday. No birdie's on the front nine, shoots 114 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: one over, then he gets cooking on the back nine 115 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: with a birdie on ten and an eagle on eleven, 116 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: proceeds to go bogie bogie bogie on twelve through fourteen, 117 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: and suddenly, after being in a five way tie for 118 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: the lead, he was right out of contention again. So 119 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: my question for you is this bow, with the way 120 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: Canty and Shoffley just sort of wilted on Sunday, do 121 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: you have any qualms about betting either of those guys 122 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: in the weeks to come. 123 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: None whatsoever. And we have to give them credit for 124 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: especially Can'tley. With his first thirty six holes, it looked 125 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 2: like if he was able to even just hold serve, 126 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 2: which he did relatively well for most of the most 127 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 2: of the weekend, he was still in it all the 128 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 2: way to the bitter end. But the fact that moving 129 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 2: Day went by and he didn't make any real strides 130 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: on the field, in fact, he let them back into 131 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 2: a Sunday finish, that was disappointing for him. But I 132 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: think with both of those guys is they they had 133 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: Hitdeki Matsuyama a few holes ahead of them post a 134 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: crazy low number, like an unheard of number at Riviera. 135 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: That's really what happened is he had that clubhouse lead 136 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: and they they could feel that momentum slipping away. And 137 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: if you're going to be aggressive on the back night 138 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: at Riviera, you better be hitting fairways because if you're 139 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: you're trying to be aggressive out of that rough or 140 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 2: out of greenside bunkers. Uh, there's no green to work 141 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 2: with on a lot of those a lot of those shots. 142 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 2: They ended up having that aggression turn against them at 143 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: the very end, just trying to catch up with Matsiyama. 144 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 2: I think that's really what happened, is they were forced 145 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 2: into a game plan that wasn't what they envisioned for 146 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: that back nine, and it just it it chewed him up. 147 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: They didn't they didn't finish well because they got chewed up. 148 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: And I thought Xander had a really good shot once 149 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 2: he hold out for eagle from the bunker on eleven, 150 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 2: But after that, as we saw, he missed the fairways 151 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 2: on all three of those holes, missed the greens and 152 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 2: just couldn't put, couldn't scramble. This course is brutally tough 153 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 2: if you're not in play, and all the guys except 154 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 2: for Matsiyama, seemed to really struggle with trying to hold 155 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 2: serve with an immaculate round. So all the flowers, all 156 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 2: the kudos to Hideki. That's I mean, that's that's what 157 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: championship golf is all about. Some guy's going to come 158 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 2: out there and win the tournament, and it's up to 159 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 2: the other guys to try to catch him, and nobody 160 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 2: was going to catch Hideki on Sunday. That was just 161 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 2: how good his round was. So I don't have any 162 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 2: qualms about the future of Can't Lay or Shaftley because 163 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 2: they're both top ten world class golfers that are going 164 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 2: to be in the mix most weeks. 165 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Can't Lay and Schoffle, those guys could not have 166 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: found more sand if they had gone to Venice Beach 167 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: for the day on Sunday. 168 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 2: That was probably still shaking it out of their shoes. 169 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: Now we will turn our attention to the Mexico Open 170 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: at Vedanta in a minute, but first go sign yourself 171 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: up with our friends at Underdog, where you can make 172 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: picks on your favorite golfers all season long. Just pick 173 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: higher or lower on selected stats for two to five 174 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: golfers and you can win up to twenty times your 175 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: money in a single day. You can also make rivals picks, choosing, 176 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: for instance, which of two golfers will shoot a better 177 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: score in a round. Golf picks can also be combined 178 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: with player stats from other sports, so be sure to 179 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: go sign up at underdog and start making those golf selections. 180 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: The Mexico Open at Vedanta will have a relatively weak 181 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: field bow We've seen some very good fields in recent 182 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: events at Tory Pines, at Pebble Beach, at Riviera, but 183 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: a lot of the top players are taking off this week. 184 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 1: So the Mexico Open is going to be played at Vedanta. 185 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: Velarta a a Greg Norman design. It's a par seventy 186 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: one covering seven four hundred and fifty six yards, a 187 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: rather long course when you consider that there are five 188 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: par threes and a drivable par four, so that means 189 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: a lot of long par fours and some really long 190 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: par fives. I think a couple check in at over 191 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: six hundred yards. On the other hand, generous fair ways, 192 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: courses pretty flat, the rough not very penal, and conditions 193 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: should be pretty favorable this week. Temperatures in the eighties, 194 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: wins under ten miles an hour, no rain, the greens 195 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 1: are past pollum. It is a slow, sticky surface, so 196 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess I think the ball kind 197 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: of sits up on those two so like chipping probably 198 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: won't be an issue. Not a lot of starly lies. 199 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 2: Like bel Croz yeah, approach. If you had too much 200 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 2: spin on the ball, it'll spin back for a long way. 201 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. So maybe this might help the Europeans who are 202 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: used to those slower greens over on the other side 203 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: of the pond. Yeah, but driving distance obviously is going 204 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: to matter a lot here, Bo, and I think long 205 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: iron play matters a lot too statistically, and yet a 206 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: pretty easy course overall. I believe it's the eleventh easiest 207 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: on tour. This is only the third year of this event. 208 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: Tony fenw is the defending champion. He won this by 209 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: three shots over John Rahm last year, firing a twenty 210 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: four under power That was his winning score for final. 211 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: Brandon Wu finished in third five shots. Back in twenty 212 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: twenty two, the inaugural year of this event, Ram was 213 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: the one who won seventeen under par, one shot ahead 214 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: of Finale two better. Oh sorry, it was a three 215 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: way tie for second final Brandon Wu and Kurt Kittayama. 216 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: So we've got some guys with good track records here, Fenale, 217 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: the defending chap, Brandon Woo couple of top threes. Bo, 218 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: give me your brain dump on the Mexico Open. What 219 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: stands out to you about this course and anyone in 220 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: the field. 221 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is a bomb and gouge type of 222 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 2: place that turns into a glorified putting contest because everybody's 223 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 2: going to find these fairways. And you're looking at the 224 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 2: approach bucket of one hundred and seventy five plus, so 225 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: where a lot of stat models will break it down 226 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 2: one hundred seventy five to two hundred and then the 227 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 2: two hundred plus. Those both are going to be important. 228 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 2: Most of the par threes are in that one seventy 229 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 2: five to two hundred range. Most of the approach I 230 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 2: think eleven of the approach distance holes are going to 231 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 2: be in that one seventy five plus range. So yes, 232 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 2: long iron or mid iron approach is going to be 233 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 2: very important. And of course short game and putting, there 234 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: are a handful of holes here that are in the 235 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: top fifty most difficult on tour. So it's not just 236 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 2: a cakewalk. It's not just a resort style stroll around 237 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 2: Porto vr to Mexico. It's it's got some teeth. It's 238 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,599 Speaker 2: overall easy. You're going to see a score somewhere on 239 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 2: twenty underpar, which is on the easier side. But again 240 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 2: it's going to be just as important to avoid bogies 241 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 2: as it is to make birdies, and so yeah, driving 242 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 2: distance makes a difference, especially if you're parlaying that with 243 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 2: a good approach game. 244 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: Now, we'll get to the odds in just a moment, 245 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: but first, if you want a chance to win a 246 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: free one year premium Betting Pro subscription, you need to 247 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: subscribe to the Betting Pros YouTube channel right now comment 248 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: below in this video and that's it.

On Draft Kings. 255 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: Nikolai Hogard is plus sixteen hundred, Emiliano Grio is at 256 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: plus two thousand, Taylor Pendrith and Steven Jaeger plus twenty 257 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: two hundred, Thomas Dietrie plus twenty five hundred, Torborne Olison 258 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: plus twenty eight hundred, and Ryan Fox, Keith Mitchell and 259 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: Patrick Rodgers plus three thousand. Bo We saw Feno turn 260 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: in an excellent performance here last year. He was in 261 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: second two years ago. T Degriget Green game generally terrific. 262 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: But this is a guy who has not always been 263 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: a great closer on the PGA Tour. How do you 264 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: feel about him this week at such short odds. 265 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 2: I think he's a safe bet to be in the 266 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 2: top ten, probably top five. I don't think that he's 267 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 2: in the kind of form that it takes for me 268 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 2: to really want to bet him at plus six fifty. Honestly, 269 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 2: he's playing pretty poorly overall, for at least for his standards. 270 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 2: This field is weak. Tony loves this course. It's like 271 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 2: the mech Scope and in the Rocket Mortgage Classic in 272 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 2: Detroit there seemed to be his two events that he 273 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 2: seems to do really well in. But I just can't bet. 274 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 2: I can't bet Tony Finow in any event at less 275 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 2: than ten to one, So skip him. The odds are 276 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 2: too short. He's not in good form. I'm going to 277 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 2: go right to Nikolai Hoigard sixteen to one, that twenty 278 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 2: two year old Dane. He's got lots of firepower off 279 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 2: the tee. Great great short game. We're talking about If 280 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: Tony Finow had a short game, his name would be 281 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 2: Nikolai Hoigard. This guy's fireworks. He's a rising future star 282 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 2: on the PGA Tour, dominant on the DP World Tour 283 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: the last few years. His brother is actually still doing 284 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 2: very well on that. To Erasmus Hoyguard, this is a 285 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: very talented individual who I think has every bit the 286 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 2: talent that would take to win this event. At sixteen 287 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 2: to one, that's incredibly a lot better value than Tony 288 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 2: Fenow plus six fifty. 289 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, Taylor Pendrith, are you also big on him? 290 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, Penny Kid, Yeah, number one in my model overall, 291 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 2: I don't see any weak spots at least of the 292 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 2: stats that I'm looking at for separating this field into 293 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 2: a group of players that I'm going to be drilling 294 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 2: down to for my final betting slip. Pendrith number one 295 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 2: in my model goes a long way. I tried to 296 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 2: work at different ways to try to kick him off 297 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,719 Speaker 2: of that number one spot. It didn't work. He's solid 298 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 2: all around, especially off the tee, and when he hits 299 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 2: a hot putter, he makes a lot of birdies and 300 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 2: that's what we're looking for this week. 301 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, how about Steven Yeager hits it a long way. 302 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: Jga bombs, Jaeger bombs. We saw him. So Actually, Hoyguard 303 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: and Yaeger both did really well at Tory Pines a 304 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: few weeks ago. Another course that really sort of demands 305 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: precision will demands length. I guess off the tee your 306 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: interesting Yeager perhaps at plus twenty two hundred and one. 307 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 2: Thing about Yeger is he's not as exactly the type 308 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 2: of birdie maker that I'm looking for, but as as 309 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 2: far as talent goes and in recent form, Yeager's in 310 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 2: great form right now. And so yeah, of course I'm 311 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 2: gonna be looking at him a little closer. Him being 312 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 2: kind of the same number as Taylor Pendrith makes it 313 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 2: hard for me to favor him over Pendrith. But I 314 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 2: guess if I was putting more weight on how well 315 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 2: they're playing right now, Jaeger would get the nod. I 316 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 2: just in my stat model that I start with, Pendrith 317 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 2: is by far and away the top golfer overall out 318 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 2: of this entire field. And there's a couple guys in 319 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 2: this next tier that I would put right next to 320 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 2: Jaeger myself at better odds. 321 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's run through that next tier. At plus thirty 322 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: five hundred are Brandon wou with his excellent track record here, 323 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: Eric Van Ruian, Jake Knapp, and Davis Thompson. At plus 324 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: forty five hundred are Cameron Chanp, Mackenzie Hughes and Riot 325 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: he say soon soon ah. And at plus five thousand 326 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: we have Mark Hubbard, Justin Sue, Austin Ekrot, and Aaron Raye. 327 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: Do you like anyone from this group out? 328 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 2: I like that whole group. It's gonna be really hard 329 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 2: to drill down. That group is gonna be all in 330 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: my player pool for DFS tournaments. I'm gonna start with Rio. 331 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 2: HE'SATSUNI at forty to one. Incredibly talented twenty one year 332 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 2: old Japanese player, another guy that dominated on the DP 333 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 2: World Tour at Asian Tours as a youngster. He's still 334 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 2: a youngster. This guy is a birdie making machine. And again, 335 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: these guys that maybe are not household names at this 336 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 2: moment right now, they're gonna have their moments this season 337 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 2: where you're gonna see these odds get a lot shorter 338 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 2: in future events. And I think that Rio is a 339 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 2: big favorite for me. At forty to one. My overall 340 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 2: favorite at forty to one is Jake Knapp. Jake Napp 341 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 2: is a monster off the tee. He is a bomber. 342 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 2: We're talking the third highest swings ball speed on on 343 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: the tour, one hundred and eighty six mile per hour 344 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: average ball speed. He could absolutely smash the ball. And 345 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 2: he's another guy like Hoyguard with an immaculate short game 346 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 2: and right now his approach game has been on point, 347 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 2: tied for third at the Farmers and tied for twenty 348 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 2: third at the Waste Management. This guy's got a lot 349 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 2: of talent. He's got the flowing blonde locks from SoCal. 350 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 2: He's fun to watch and his moment is coming very quickly. 351 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 2: He's already a by far favorite to win PGA Tour 352 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year in twenty twenty four. 353 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that you're touting the youngsters ball. We've 354 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: talked about this with Akshay Bachier, like we're we're getting 355 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: a good price before that first win, before that breakthrough. 356 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: And he sat sunny twenty one years old. I think 357 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: he's got four international wins already and Nap is what 358 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: twenty two or twenty three, But always he's an older rookie. 359 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: Okay, he's twenty nine, but he was one of the 360 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 2: quickest qualifiers through the Corn Fairy Tourist points setup in history. 361 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 2: He won four events on the Corn Fairry Tour last 362 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 2: year and springboarded him right into the status that he 363 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 2: needed to play this season on the PGA Tour as 364 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 2: a rookie. 365 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: He's hot. 366 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 2: He's hot right now. He's bombing the ball and a 367 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 2: really really good score. That's what he's writing right now. 368 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: All right, my bad. He's a late bloomer, though, so 369 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: let's catch him on the opposite twenty one. Let's give 370 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: him credit. 371 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 2: He's a really really handsome guy, so he could pass 372 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 2: for twenty one twenty two. 373 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk long shots. Bo and I've got 374 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: a couple who kind of interest me. Two are plus 375 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: six thousand, sixty to one. Johnny Vegas, who a big 376 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: hitter who can get into these hot streaks. I mean, like, yes, 377 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 1: it's a long shot, without question, but a guy who 378 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: could conceivably win a tournament if he falls into a groove. 379 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: Charlie Hoffman, who you know wasn't quite able to carry 380 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 1: the momentum of the Phoenix Waste Management open into Riviera, 381 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: but a really good long iron player, and you know, 382 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: like he has played pretty well over the last few weeks. 383 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: And then Scott Stalling's a guy just have a weakness 384 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: for at eighty to one, but a guy who hits 385 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: it a long way and maybe if he can recapture 386 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: the magic from like ten years ago, could could maybe 387 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: find himself in the hunt. What about you, any long 388 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: shots capture your fancy? 389 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 2: Yeah? I looked at Johnny Vegas myself. Unfortunately, he has 390 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: no short game to speak of. He's one of the 391 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 2: worst putters on tour, so he needs to get hot 392 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 2: if he wants to make some noise here. But Michael 393 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 2: Kim at fifty five to one is very appealing to me. 394 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 2: Second in this field, and birdie's are better gained, which 395 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 2: is the top metric in my weighted model. And then 396 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 2: he's also number five in this entire field for that 397 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 2: one seventy five to two hundred approach distance. So we're 398 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 2: looking at a guy who can make birdies. He's great 399 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 2: on approach at the distances that he's going to be 400 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 2: demanded in on this golf course at Vedanta. So Michael 401 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 2: Kim fifty five to one, and then I'm going young 402 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 2: bombers all the way through the long shots. I'm going 403 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 2: to do a buckshot approach, some smaller bets on Garrett Hego, 404 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 2: the South African unbelievably long player. He's also the best 405 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: putter in this field, which is unbelievably. It's like you 406 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 2: wouldn't think that the long hitter guy would be one 407 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 2: of the top five putters in this field. 408 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: But Garret he Go. 409 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 2: Ben Coles kind of a more of a late bloomer 410 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 2: like Jake Napp, not having quite the success as a 411 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 2: rookie as Nap quite yet, but I think that's coming. 412 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 2: He comes in really high in my model, and that 413 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 2: he's at one hundred and thirty to one, and then 414 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 2: Eric Barnes, another bomber, one hundred and eighty to one. 415 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 2: All this talent down on the board that I've been 416 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 2: excited to watch. I loved watching them all golf on 417 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 2: the corn Ferry Tour or in collegiate golf now that 418 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 2: they were PGA Tour rookies, or they're getting their spots 419 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 2: starts on tour at Mexico and Puerto Rico and all 420 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 2: these lesser events where the big shots are staying home 421 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: and they're not flying their private jets out of Florida. 422 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 2: It opens the door of opportunity for these guys to 423 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 2: make it themselves a household name. So look for all 424 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 2: of those guys, Garrett Hego, Ben Coles, Eric Barnes. 425 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of young hungry dudes in the Mexico Open. 426 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: What do you have on your betting cards so far, Paul, 427 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: let's run down the list. 428 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 2: So I got outright full unit bets on Hoyguard and Pendrith. 429 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: I have half unit bets on Hesatsuni, Nap and Kim 430 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 2: with top twenty kickers on both of those, and then 431 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 2: top forty bets on Hego, Cole's and Barnes, and of 432 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 2: course a little a couple bucks on each one of 433 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 2: them to win out right, just in case we catch 434 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 2: lightning at a bottle. 435 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, So I wanted to back the horses for courses, 436 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: but I didn't want to take Tony Fenow or Brandon 437 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: Wu for wins. So I bet Tony Fenow top five 438 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: at plus one eighty, and I bet Brandon Wu top 439 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: ten at plus three sixty. Figure. That gives me a 440 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: little bit of cushion, Like you said, I've yeah, kind 441 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: of the same reservations about feenw that you do. But 442 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: top top five seems like a pretty solid bet. Bets 443 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: outright on Taylor Pendrith and Steven Jaeger, and then small 444 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: outright bets so far on Johnny Vegas, Charlie Hoffman and 445 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: Scott Stallings. Let's get to our one and done picks. BO. 446 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: Last week, I took Adam Scott normally does well at Riviera, 447 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: tied for nineteenth, not bad, good for two thousand or 448 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: excuse me, two hundred and fifty one thousand and four 449 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: hundred dollars. BO. You took Max Homa, another guy with 450 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: a pretty good track record at Riviera tied for sixteenth, 451 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: good for three hundred and twenty nine thousand dollars. So 452 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: you extend your lead and you are up first this week, BO, 453 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: who do you like? We talked about this the elevated events. 454 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: You had what one shot on me and it was 455 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: worth almost one hundred thousand dollars. 456 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, one stroke? One stroke means a big difference. And 457 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 2: I believe it's the fifth time I've hit six figures 458 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 2: in a week. So let's keep the good times rolling. 459 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 2: And even though I had the fur the I had 460 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 2: the Honors this week.

It's risky, it's ballsy, it's 465 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 2: probably a little bit cocky. It's arrogant personified. That's me, 466 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 2: But that's me. I'm gonna go spicy.
