Speaker 3: Him?

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: You got real telling, don't concentrate on golf.

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 4: What's up everybody, and welcome once again to the Action

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 4: Network podcast, the Golf Edition. I'm Jason Sobral from Golf Bet,

9
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 4: alongside Unfrozen, my friend the head of content from the

10
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 4: Fifteenth Club, Justin Ray, and Justin When last we saw

11
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 4: you and spoke with you, it was cold, you were

12
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 4: losing power in Austin, Texas, and you literally froze in

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 4: the middle of the podcast. Have you unfrozen?

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: I think we've fully defrosted now. I know we joked

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 3: about it and there was a fun explosion noise when

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 3: the debt when I was booted out of the Zoom

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: put it in post production last week, but you know, truthfully,

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: for my wife and I, it was more of an

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 3: inconvenience than anything.

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: We had it better than most folks, but we finally

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: have power back.

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 3: We still are under a boil water notice, which I

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: don't wish on anyone, but a lot of us in

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 3: Texas are dealing with that right now.

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: But basically that.

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 3: Just means cook with bottled water and if you need

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: to use water, boil it beforehand. You still wash your

28
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 3: hands and everything. So anyway, it's all getting much better.

29
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: That's the summary. It's almost like seventy degrees outside here today,

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 3: so it's getting much closer back to normal, and we're

31
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: getting back to the cedar trees driving me insane with

32
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: my allergies. So that's more of what we're used to

33
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: here in February in Austin.

34
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 4: But okay, well, I will take allergies over massive power

35
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: blackouts for you. So I'm glad you guys are safe.

36
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: I'm glad you're doing well. I know your wife's pregnant

37
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 4: and so she's okay and everything like that, so that's

38
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 4: great news. And yeah, by the way, kudos to our

39
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 4: producer Matt Mitchell, who I will admit this justin and

40
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 4: I don't listen to the podcast ever afterwards because I

41
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 4: was there. I already heard it, so I went back

42
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 4: and listened because I thought it was it actually worked

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 4: out really well that you were at a spot in

44
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 4: last week's pod where it was like I've got a sleeper.

45
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 4: This is a guy you're gonna want to keep an

46
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 4: eye on. All these things are are in his favor.

47
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 4: It's and it went out and he did a really

48
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 4: nice sort of post production job, as you said, and

49
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 4: it was Francesco Molinari and that was a good pick

50
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 4: and he finished type right, how about that?

51
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it all worked out.

52
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 3: So if you have a little two a hell a

53
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 3: little top ten going, you know, you're welcome, you know.

54
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 4: All right, Well, let's get in some other stuff from

55
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 4: Riviera before we get going with this week's WGC at

56
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 4: the Concession, which I can't wait for. I can't wait

57
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: to break this thing down. So what a weekend? What

58
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 4: a finish? I mean, I know Tony fen now might

59
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 4: be a big story coming out of it, might be

60
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 4: the bigger story. But I always think that on Monday,

61
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 4: after a tournament has ended, the winner is story one A.

62
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 4: He's at least the bigger headline, if not the bigger story.

63
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 4: And so what max Oma did at the end of

64
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 4: that golf tournament was tremendous, considering that as an event

65
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 4: where he grew up going to Riviera with his dad

66
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 4: watching Tiger Woods play there and getting inspired as a

67
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 4: kid to become a professional golfer. Someday it means so

68
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 4: much to him coming down the stretch. He's tied for

69
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 4: the lead on eighteen, hits as brilliant a drive as

70
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 4: he can, a little buttercut down the fairway, stuffs an

71
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 4: approach shot to three feet, misses the butt and you're thinking, oh,

72
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 4: by how can you miss that? Okay, well, now it's

73
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: probably Tony Fenal's time, and especially they drive it on ten.

74
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 4: And by the way, justin why I have become PGA

75
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: Tour commissioner. Every PGA Tour playoff starts on ten at Riviera.

76
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 4: I don't care if it's at the concession and they're

77
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: in Bradenton, Florida, DJ and rom or whoever it is

78
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 4: going to play with. Yeah, get on a plane, you're

79
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 4: going to Riviera. And so, of course female HiT's good drive.

80
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 4: Homas is not much worse, except it winds up worse.

81
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 4: And by the TV cameras, it looked like he was

82
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 4: stimied as if he was gonna have to play at lefty,

83
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: and the cameras kind of fooled us a little bit,

84
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: so he did sort of have a swing there. They

85
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 4: both get out of there with bars. Holmo makes a

86
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 4: par on fourteen the second playoff all and wins his

87
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 4: hometown event. Very emotional afterwards. So just your reaction to everything.

88
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 4: That was really a fast paced, fun finish to this event.

89
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: A couple of pieces of context for that Homa sequence.

90
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: That approach at eighteen closest one of any player in

91
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: the field all day.

92
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: That's how good it was.

93
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 3: He's got to hit that approach shot tight to win

94
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 3: the golf tournament. Hits the closest approach anyone all day.

95
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 3: He's fifty five for fifty six on putts inside five

96
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 3: feet before he looks at that putt to.

97
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: Win and then misses it.

98
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: And then you got, of course, the miraculous recovery at ten.

99
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: That was awesome. I at one point with the camera angle,

100
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: I was like, can.

101
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: He hit this like through his legs maybe like backwards,

102
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: like it looks like he had absolutely nothing and that

103
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: you know, I know the camera can cond ofplete tricks

104
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: on you, and he obviously had a little bit of

105
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 3: a shot, but it was still unbelievable. Sand wedge kind

106
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: of cupped over, hooks.

107
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: It onto the green there it's able to save his par.

108
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: Just awesome stuff. The Riviera always delivers. This's the first

109
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 3: thing I had in mind. I mean, even with the

110
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: Saturday the windole was unfortunate. I mean, winds got high

111
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 3: and the greens were cut a little too quick for

112
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: those conditions, and they had a four hour wind delay.

113
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: But I mean, man, Rivier is awesome.

114
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 3: I don't I know, ten's the famous risk reward par four,

115
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: but can you pick a favorite hole?

116
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: Riviera? I mean, it's just the place is just absolutely fantastic.

117
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: I really hope that it finds its way into the

118
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 3: major championship rotation. At some point we get a PGA

119
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: or a US Open there down the road. I know

120
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: I have La Country Club coming up in a few years,

121
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: which is gonna be really cool.

122
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: So the takeaway for me, the home of finish is awesome.

123
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: His emotion after the fact Tony f now is just

124
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: playing unbelievable golf.

125
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: His last four starts fourth, second and second.

126
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: Second around the world. The guy's gotta win eventually. Man,

127
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 3: I'm so sick of updating this note every week. Most

128
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 3: top tens that'll win, Most top fys that'll win. The

129
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: man has more than nineteen million dollars in official PGA

130
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: Tour earning since his last win. You can go on

131
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 3: and on the craziest number I came up with. Max

132
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: Homa is the forty third different guy to win at

133
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: least twice since Tony won forty three guys.

134
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: And he's just such a good player. He played awesome yesterday.

135
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: We have eight birdies, he was you know, strokes, came putting,

136
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: were through the roof, tied his lowest ever final round

137
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: on the PGA Tour.

138
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: And then he's got two opportunities. He's got, well what amazing.

139
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 3: Opportunity at ten to win the golf tournament and it's

140
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: just it's gonna happen eventually. So that and how well

141
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: Sam Burns played for what sixty three sixty four holes?

142
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: He was terrific. He's led the most rounds of anybody

143
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: on tour now this season, which, oh wow, that guy he's.

144
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 3: Gonna break through and he's going to be a guy

145
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: who wins multiple times on tour.

146
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: He's so talented. So that's what I.

147
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: Took away, just you know, great finish for home a

148
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: Feenales gotta do it eventually. Sam Burns was super impressive

149
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: and the most impressive the winner for the week Riviera

150
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: country Club.

151
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 4: Okay, so a few reactions to that. First of all,

152
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest here, I was not that impressed

153
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: with Homa's second shot on ten in the playoff up

154
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: against the tree. I put every single chip shot, I

155
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 4: put backfoot to close up the club face, just kind

156
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 4: of punch at it a little bit, goes right on

157
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 4: the green. I thought it was pretty easy shot. Honestly,

158
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 4: I just didn't think it was that big of a deal.

159
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 4: I don't know why everyone's saying, you know, it's so great, so.

160
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: A lot of practice out of the trees that.

161
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe if you had to hit left you

162
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: I'd give him a little credit. But nah, yeah, you

163
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 4: could hit it right. He could take a swing at it.

164
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: One of the best shots in my bag is the

165
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: four iron ball in the back foot punch out for

166
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: about forty yards.

167
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: I've got that in spades.

168
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 3: I don't have a horror got under the tree branches,

169
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 3: I go, I go super low trying to punch it out.

170
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: That's my you know, safety over over getting it close.

171
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 4: I've got that. I know if you saw my tweet

172
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 4: last week, but I've come out of the seven wood closet.

173
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 4: Duin Justin Johnson.

174
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: Made it easier for everybody, didn't.

175
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 4: The Dustin Johnson's using a seven one now, and so

176
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 4: I finally had to tell people I made a hole

177
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 4: in one two years ago, the day after the Master

178
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 4: is my only hole in one at Palmetto Country Club.

179
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 4: Teddy Greenstein, who now works for Points Bett, was with

180
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 4: the Chicago Tribute at the time. He was my partner

181
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 4: in the cart, and Bob Casper, Billy Casper son of course,

182
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 4: and Brian Taylor, his radio partner, were in the foursome.

183
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 4: Bob hit one to about a foot on the seventh old.

184
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 4: Then I came up and about one sixty five hours

185
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 4: really a seven hybrid, it's not even a seven wood,

186
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 4: but hit this little seven hybrid that I hit all

187
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 4: the time, hit up in the air, two hobs, and

188
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 4: went in and Teddy goes, I'm going to break the

189
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 4: news on Twitter. I go, okay, that's fine, you can

190
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: scoop me on my own hole in one. That's funny.

191
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 4: And I'm kind of looking over shoulders is typing, and

192
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 4: I go whoa, and it's like slow motion. I'm grabbing

193
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 4: the phone out of his hand. I go, you can

194
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: do whatever you want, but you cannot say that. I

195
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: used a seven hybrid because I will get so much

196
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 4: crap on Twitter, and so Dustin Johnson using a seven

197
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 4: wood and seven wood seven hybrid. Okay, maybe it's seven

198
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 4: Hybrid's not even as cool as the seven wood, if

199
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 4: you will, but at least it allows the rest of

200
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 4: us to to say, look, we're we're not scared anymore.

201
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 4: You can taunt us, you can come at us. But

202
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 4: the number one player in the world is using one

203
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 4: of these. And so you say, Justin, you've got a

204
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 4: four iron in the bag. I'm not even sure I

205
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 4: have a four iron in my house anymore. I think

206
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 4: I've just like discarded of all of them.

207
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: Dude, I've got a three in my bag. I'm old school.

208
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: I pick it. I'm straight up and down.

209
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 4: I'm looking for an eight hybrid if I can find one,

210
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 4: if anyone has one out there, come on.

211
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 2: Now that I'm overly successful with either of those club I.

212
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 4: Will say I can hit mine anywhere from it's a

213
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: seven hybrid, now the seven wood, but I can hit

214
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 4: one fifty to one ninety and do whatever I want

215
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,359
Speaker 4: with it.

216
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 2: Whatever, whatever works for you.

217
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a I'm as unorthodox as player as you'd

218
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 4: ever see. So we can get to that later. But

219
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 4: in any case, the other reactions to what you were

220
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,599
Speaker 4: saying go on going on tangents here, But yes, Riviera

221
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 4: is everything. The course seems to get better every year

222
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 4: I've covered this event, probably oh, I don't know five

223
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 4: the last seven years I've been out to la and

224
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 4: every time I see it, see it on TV, see

225
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 4: it in person, it gets better. It's an older golf course.

226
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 4: It's not like, wow, well it's a new course. It's

227
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 4: starting to grow on us a little bit. It's been

228
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 4: around forever. It's been around for what close to one

229
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 4: hundred years, and it still continues to get better every

230
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 4: time we see it. Couldn't agree with you more there.

231
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 4: And then let's get to Tony Fen because everyone's talking

232
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 4: about Tony right now. As you mentioned, he has lost

233
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 4: to six players in his last four starts, and yet

234
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 4: it's just stupid. The chorus of cat calls from people,

235
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 4: the boo birds, the glass half empty years as I've

236
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 4: been calling them, who think that female can't close. And

237
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 4: the main point that I will make about Tony Fein

238
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 4: now coming off of this is that if you want

239
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 4: to say he hasn't closed, also absolutely completely.

240
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 2: Agree with you.

241
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 4: There's really no denying that. I'm not sure that you

242
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 4: could argue the other way. Tony Fenaw would admit he

243
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 4: hasn't closed out golf tournaments. If you want to say

244
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 4: he can't close, I think you're doing it wrong. I

245
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 4: don't think that's how it works. Five years ago people

246
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 4: said Dustin Johnson couldn't win a major. How did that

247
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 4: work out?

248
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

249
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 3: Fair enough, I would say for this week, though, it's

250
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: not even like a situation. It's not even a question

251
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: of closing, right. This is a guy who shot sixty

252
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 3: four to get into a playoff. This is like we

253
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 3: were down five in the bottom of the seventh and

254
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: came back and tied it and lost it in extra innings.

255
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: It's not necessarily a blown save, you know.

256
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 3: It's not a guy with a three shot, four shot

257
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 3: later or something that couldn't make it happen.

258
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: Got played out of his mind.

259
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 3: He tied low his final round of his PGH career,

260
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 3: shot sixty four, putted, brilliantly, played awesome, made a ton

261
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: of clutch putts on the back nine just to put

262
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: himself in a position to be in that playoff.

263
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: Now, did he not? I mean he didn't make the putt.

264
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 3: On ten to win, and he you know, put his

265
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: t shot in the bunker on the second playoff hole. Yeah,

266
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 3: I mean that's unfortunate, but I mean the guy played fantastic.

267
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't.

268
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 3: It's it is really though. It is unreal how many

269
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 3: times he's been close and hasn't won. I mean, it's

270
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: just staggering. Like thirty seven top tens on the PGA Tour,

271
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: all right, thirty seven. The only guys with more, I think,

272
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: are in that span. Since the beginning of the twenty

273
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 3: seventeen season. It's like DJ, Justin Thomas and John Rahm

274
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: and they have combined for twenty nine wins in that

275
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: strep Like that's it's ridiculous how often he puts himself

276
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: in that position.

277
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: And I don't think. I don't see that as a

278
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: knock on him.

279
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 3: I see it as a testimony to, you know, how

280
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 3: incredibly consistent he is as a player and how good

281
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 3: he is through the back. And you know, I'm totally

282
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 3: pro tony now. And I don't see this as a negative.

283
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 3: He's not gonna break through, it's not gonna happen. I

284
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 3: see it as the wall has been chipped away so

285
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: much that he's about to burst through it. All these

286
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 3: times he's putting himself an opportunity to win, they're gonna

287
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 3: turn into Victory's imagine.

288
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 4: Well, I could react to that, or I could get

289
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 4: to the WGC Workday Championship at the Concession Golf Club.

290
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 4: One of the longest tournament names we've had in a

291
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 4: long time.

292
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 5: But the paragraph Championship here, Yeah, I'm still you know

293
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 5: what WGC at TCGC presented by w I don't know

294
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 5: it's something like that, but in any case, I'm really

295
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 5: excited for this one.

296
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 4: And I'll get right to my favorite outright play because

297
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 4: I'm not reacting to anything Tony f now you just said. Instead,

298
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna tell you that my favorite outright play

299
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 4: this week is Tony damn Feenow. I'm telling you it's

300
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 4: gonna happen. I mean, you said it right there. You

301
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 4: said exactly what I've been writing and saying for the

302
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 4: entire day right now, which is he keeps knocking on

303
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 4: the door and sometime he's just gonna bust through it.

304
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 4: And I think he can bust through it in a

305
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 4: big way. I think, honestly, there was a time when

306
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 4: I thought Tony fen Now might win again the way

307
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 4: he played at Riviera on Sunday, which is no real

308
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 4: spotlight on him, no target on his back, doesn't have

309
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 4: to play defensively. He can play some offense, shoot sixty

310
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 4: four and sort of back his way, so to speak,

311
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 4: into an event into a win. Now, I'm almost thinking

312
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 4: Tony's gonna go out and win by seven. He's just

313
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 4: gonna like absolutely explode, play his best golf and win

314
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 4: one of these things. And I think it could happen

315
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 4: this week.

316
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: That's a great call.

317
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: He's not my favorite outright play this week, but I

318
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 3: don't think you can go wrong betting him at this point.

319
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 3: I mean, just consistently, really really good. We talked about

320
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 3: his finishes his last four starts. Was that you said

321
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: six guys would beat him, Like just if that's absurd,

322
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 3: I mean, he's playing fantastic. You know, we obviously don't

323
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: have course history this week, a concession this first time

324
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: this has ever host a BG toorament Bryson won the

325
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 3: NCAA Championship.

326
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: Here in twenty fifteen.

327
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: But you know it really in the absence of course history,

328
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 3: you know, I took a hard look at the key

329
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: players and traits of the other.

330
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: Courses on the Florida Swing in recent years, and you.

331
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 3: Know, looking at bay Hill, TPC, Sawgrass, Innisbrook, PGA national

332
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: driving distance isn't isn't quite as significant as normal when

333
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 3: compared to other PGA Tour winners, but it's still key

334
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 3: driving accuracy not as significant at all. It's way down

335
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 3: on the list in terms of the average ranking of

336
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: winners on the Florida Swing compared to the PGA to

337
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: ur average iron play more important than normal. So that's

338
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 3: where you could probably think of, you know, off the

339
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 3: top of your head, some recent winners with great iron

340
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 3: play in Florida, Tiger winning a zillion times, there, some

341
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 3: JM last year short game numbers there. The comparison is

342
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 3: roughly the same, So you think about it's comparable in

343
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 3: length to bay Hill, from between seventy four hundred and

344
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 3: seventy five hundred yards.

345
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: Mid to long irons are really important at Bayhill.

346
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: You see as many approaches from one seventy five to

347
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: two twenty five at Bayhill as you do anywhere. So

348
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 3: you know, maybe that will come into play this week.

349
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 3: We'll see what the data brings us, But that's kind

350
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 3: of what I was looking at course history wise, in

351
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 3: the absence of any actual course history, my favorite outright

352
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: play and this is gonna be I'm going straight near

353
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: the top of the world rankings. I'm going with John Rom,

354
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: a guy who I think figured something out.

355
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: Sunday at Riviera.

356
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: He gained more than four strokes on the field Sunday

357
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: Tee to Green, hit ten fairways, made seven birdies, shot

358
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 3: sixty six. It's reminiscent to me of something he did

359
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: last summer at work Day. He kind of scuffled early

360
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: that first we had two straight weeks at Mierfield Village

361
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: in Ohio. He scuffled early on then had a really

362
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 3: big final round. I think he gained more than six

363
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 3: strokes on the field te De Green that Sunday. He

364
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: wasn't in contention, but it really felt like he found something.

365
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 3: That's kind of the way I feel like he did

366
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 3: Riviera and Work Day. He went and won the next

367
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 3: week at Memorials. So I kind of Rom is kind

368
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 3: of a guy who you can see, you know, he

369
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 3: he grinds out through the end of tournaments and work

370
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: on things that get him ready for his next start.

371
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: That's what some of the greatest players in the world

372
00:16:58,640 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: do weekend week out.

373
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: So the numbers tell me he found something there, especially

374
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 3: with his driver driving so well, I'm gonna say that

375
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 3: he translates that into a big week and if he

376
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: drives it that well, he's gonna put himself a lot

377
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 3: of scoring positions this week at concession.

378
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 4: Okay, I have a question for you, and I don't

379
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 4: know if you've kind of looked at the stats or

380
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 4: even thought about basing it on this, but when the

381
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 4: when the world's best players go to a new golf course,

382
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 4: and so we see it at a WGC every year,

383
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 4: and there, every here and there every couple of years,

384
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 4: or you know, certainly major championships over the years, is

385
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 4: there one certain type of player that has an advantage?

386
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 4: Does not knowing the golf course give an advantage to

387
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 4: the best players because they can just go out and

388
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 4: play their best. Does it level the playing field? And say, okay, well, really,

389
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,239
Speaker 4: no one has an advantage because no one's seen it,

390
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 4: and so the number fifty player in the world has

391
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 4: has more of a chance against the number one player

392
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 4: than somewhere else. What does it do and and the

393
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 4: reason I ask. This is because the last time this

394
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 4: very event went to a new course went to Chapultepec

395
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 4: four years ago in Mexico City, and the winner was

396
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 4: Dustin Johnson, who tends to play well on courses where

397
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 4: he can just show up and he's never seen it

398
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 4: and feels like the rest of the field is kind

399
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 4: of fretting about, Oh my gosh, a new course, how

400
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: do we play this?

401
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 2: What do we do?

402
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 4: And DJ's like, ah, no, man, I see the fairway

403
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 4: down there. I'm just gonna go hit it and see

404
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 4: what happens. And it works for I mean, I know,

405
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 4: DJ's like this idiot, savant golfer, and I know a

406
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 4: lot of people think that he's maybe not that bright

407
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 4: because he's not as loquacious as some other players. But

408
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 4: I think DJ has a very very high golf IQ

409
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 4: and I think it's helped him learn these golf courses,

410
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 4: these new courses that they haven't played yet, in a

411
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 4: quicker amount of time than others. Is there anything to

412
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 4: it statistically?

413
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 3: So in my you know, through my research, I think

414
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 3: that especially when you get a WGC right where the

415
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 3: field isn't it's a set smaller field, which limits the

416
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 3: amount of randomness, the amount of guys who kind of

417
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 3: come out of nowhere and contend with the better players

418
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 3: in the world. I think it's it's kind of what

419
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 3: you said there with Dustin Johnson going to du Poltzpeck,

420
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: where it brings the best players are able.

421
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 2: To elevate themselves just a little bit more in a

422
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 2: new place.

423
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: The first example I thought of was Rory at the

424
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 3: Canadian Open a couple of years ago, when he had

425
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 3: never seen that golf course went out. I think closes

426
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 3: sixty one ended up boat racing the field on Sunday.

427
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 3: There's a little bit more of a separation the guys

428
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 3: are able to make. There's not that kind of if

429
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: you've got like a I don't want to call him

430
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 3: a middling tour pro, but like maybe a guy who's

431
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 3: more of a veteran who isn't necessarily a star on tour,

432
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 3: they can draw on some course experience and maybe gain

433
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 3: a half shot here or there based on, you know,

434
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 3: the kind of course knowledge that comes in time, whereas here,

435
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 3: if everybody's on a blank slate, I think a player's

436
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 3: baseline ability is more important. So kind of what you said,

437
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 3: the better players probably have a little bit of an

438
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 3: advantage going to courts that nobody's ever seen before, and

439
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 3: in a WGC that trait just to exacerbated because the

440
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 3: field is just limited, and you know, you tend to

441
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 3: get more of an elite leader board on Saturday and Sunday.

442
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that goes for the WG season general too,

443
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 4: because I went through since twenty sixteen, justin there have

444
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 4: been eighteen WGC events held four each year, and of

445
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 4: course only two last year. And of those eighteen events,

446
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 4: nine of the winners exactly half were fifteen to one

447
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 4: odds pre tournament or shorter going in. So we're looking

448
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 4: at really the best of the best of the best.

449
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,239
Speaker 4: I've got my piece up on the Action Network right now.

450
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 4: I looked at the world ranking and the odds for

451
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 4: each of those eighteen winners, and you look at it

452
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 4: and you go, there's not a whole lot of guys

453
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 4: in there. I mean, there's a there's a Kevin Kisner

454
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 4: at the match play, there's Phil there's another Bubba at

455
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 4: the match play when he was ranked thirty third, thirty

456
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 4: fourth in the world.

457
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: Match is totally different too. Match play there's so much

458
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 2: more randomness there.

459
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 3: You get Kevin Sutherland winning one year at match play

460
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: like that's that's a different name animal. But you get these,

461
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 3: you know, seventy to ninety player fields, whether it's Bridgestone

462
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: or draw, and you can see, oh, that's why Tiger

463
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 3: won eighteen of these since twenty fourteen. DJ is batting

464
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 3: two point fifty. He's four for twenty four. It was

465
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 3: at six for twenty four at the WGCs. In that

466
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,239
Speaker 3: time span. You can see how the best players were

467
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: able to elevate themselves even further over their peers.

468
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 4: Okay, so you like rom, I like Fi. Now anybody

469
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 4: else we want to talk about here before we move on,

470
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 4: get to our five questions and of course to our

471
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 4: DFS lineup.

472
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: I will give you.

473
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna throw in a few names, just kind

474
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 4: of randomly, and these are whether you like them outright,

475
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 4: whether you like them top fives, top tens, DFS picks

476
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 4: one and done, bulls, whatever you want to use them for.

477
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 4: But I will throw out a few names that I've

478
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 4: looked at this week. Victor Hovland was my favorite outright

479
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 4: pick last week, finishing the share of fifth place. A

480
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 4: really nice weekend. Moving to this one, I'm only a

481
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 4: little scared off that the concession has small greens, and

482
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 4: as we know from victors admission, I suck at chipping.

483
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 2: So that might be a simonial from a man who

484
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 2: knows his own.

485
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 4: Game, But you know what, I'd love to suck at

486
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 4: chipping enough to be top six and five of my

487
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 4: last six starts worldwide.

488
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I think he's doing okay, Yeah.

489
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I like him. Another guy I like last week,

490
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 4: and I'm going to carry over to this week because

491
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 4: he actually plays better on Bermuda greens in the Southeast

492
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 4: than he does out west. Matthew Fitzpatrick is ready to pop,

493
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 4: really good player. And a couple of guys that I

494
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 4: think just sort of maybe not for hour rights but

495
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 4: again top ten's top twenties, but moving to Florida should

496
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 4: help them. Billy Horschell, who never plays well on the

497
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 4: West Coast, always gets a bump in his home state

498
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 4: here in Florida. And then Gary Woodland, who's ball striking

499
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 4: numbers were fantastic last week in LA and I'm guessing

500
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 4: he was the first one on the plane to get

501
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 4: away from the poe out of greens because his putting

502
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 4: was horrific last week at Riviera, and so I'm guessing

503
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 4: Gary Woodland is going to be excited to get back

504
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 4: on home turf in Florida. What do you think about

505
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 4: any of those guys or anyone else you're looking at?

506
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 3: A little bit further down the list, Horsell is a

507
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 3: great call. Guy, went to the University of Florida. He's

508
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 3: so much better when he gets off those poet greens

509
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 3: and we're out to, you.

510
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 2: Know, place where he's a little bit more comfortable.

511
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 3: I've got a couple that I'm gonna save for our picking,

512
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 3: our DraftKings lineup that are a little bit down the board,

513
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 3: a little bit of European toward flavor. One guy who

514
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 3: I think is really interesting, Rory McElroy. Doesn't miss a

515
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 3: lot of cuts, right. He finally had his cuts made.

516
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 3: Streak broke at Riviera. The previous five times he's missed

517
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 3: a cut worldwide, two times he won. Four times out

518
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 3: of five he's finished in the top five. He's never

519
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 3: finished well. This is a guy doesn't let things linger.

520
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 3: He's obviously he's one of the best players of his generation.

521
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 3: He lets these things slide off, his back gets moved

522
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: to the next place. He's a lot of success in Florida.

523
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 3: Recently won that Players Championship, went at bay Hill a

524
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 3: couple of years ago. Over his career averages a stroke

525
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: and a half on the field t the green on

526
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: courses in Florida. So one of the best ball strikers.

527
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 3: It really those kind of setups are really able to

528
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 3: let him shine. But one thing that's kind of concerning

529
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 3: with me his par five scoring average. It's dropped every

530
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 3: it's gotten worse is ranking every year each of the

531
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 3: last five seasons. He's now thirty ninth and par five scoring.

532
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 3: I think that's going to be a key statistic this week.

533
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 3: See if he's able to turn that around.

534
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: The other guy is really interesting.

535
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 4: Before you move on, sorry, had a matter of his

536
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 4: number moving down or everybody else moving up and passing him.

537
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 4: So the rank moves down.

538
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 3: The rank has moved down, his number is a little

539
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 3: bit like he's making.

540
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 2: He's making.

541
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,719
Speaker 3: Actually a higher percentage of bogies are worse on par

542
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: fives than he has. The highest percentage in twenty thirteen.

543
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 3: It's not a high percentage, but it happens a little

544
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: bit more often. Maybe that's a guy being a little

545
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 3: more aggressive. I'd have to look into the dig into

546
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: it a little bit more. But his scoring average has

547
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: gone up, aka gotten a little bit incrementally worse year

548
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 3: by year, and his ranking now is down to thirty

549
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 3: ninth when five six years ago he led the PGA

550
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 3: Tour in part five scoring. Another guy who has a

551
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 3: great streak going that's really interesting as Daniel Berger. I mean,

552
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 3: I know he won on a course at Peple Beach's

553
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot different than what he'll see on

554
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 3: the Florida Swing, But as a kid who went to Florida,

555
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 3: stay twenty six straight rounds of par better for Berger,

556
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 3: the longest active streak on tour. He had a streak

557
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 3: of that long. I think we went to like thirty

558
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 3: one last season.

559
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 2: Since two thousand.

560
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 3: There's only two other players with streaks of twenty six

561
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 3: or more rounds of par better and consecutive seasons, Tiger

562
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: Woods and Phil Nicholson.

563
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 2: So that's the kind of run that Berger's on.

564
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 3: I feel like we talked about him last week. He's

565
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: a guy who I feel like is turning the corner

566
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: into becoming, you know, one of the you know, maybe

567
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 3: a consistent top twenty player year in year round on Tour.

568
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 3: I mean, he's the kind of guy who could do that.

569
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 3: So he's really interesting to me this week and a

570
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 3: guy who I don't know if it's just you know,

571
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 3: it's a thing where we haven't seen him a whole lot.

572
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 3: He hasn't played in the United States yet this year.

573
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 3: Tommy Fleetwood is at plus fifty five hundred this week.

574
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 3: I think he's really interesting because on the European Tours

575
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 3: Desert Swing he finished seventh, seventeenth, and twenty six. Nothing

576
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 3: too flashy, not a win like Tyrrell Hatton or like

577
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 3: DJ at Saudi, but he played pretty solid third. He

578
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 3: ranks third in strokes gain total in Florida events on

579
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 3: the PGA Tour the last five years, second in strokes

580
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 3: game tea to Green. He hasn't played in the US

581
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 3: since November, but plus fifty five hundred for Fleetwood seems

582
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 3: a little bit low for me on the board.

583
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 4: I've said this on the pod a few times, and

584
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 4: it was probably before you started co hosting with me,

585
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 4: but there were a few players who I thought were

586
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 4: really affected and impacted more by the pandemic and playing

587
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 4: during a pandemic than others, And I really thought that

588
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 4: Rory McElroy was one, Adam Scott was one, and Tommy

589
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 4: Fleetwood was won. And Tommy sort of admitted that at

590
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 4: the end of the year, and I wonder if Tommy's

591
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 4: ready to go out there and play better golf right now,

592
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 4: I'm sort of thinking that he probably is that now

593
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 4: that you know, things have quieted down a little bit,

594
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 4: fingers crossed, knock on wood that I think Tommy Fleetwood's

595
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 4: gonna start playing some better golf. I think some of those,

596
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 4: so to speak, more socially conscious players were not quite

597
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 4: on top of their games when when we were hitting

598
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 4: the heights of the pandemic. So we're gonna get to

599
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 4: our Yeah, young.

600
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: And that's not to be understated. I mean, Rory, same thing,

601
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 3: you know, like you know, a young family. Francesco moll

602
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 3: and Ari has two kids who are relatively young.

603
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 2: One he was moving.

604
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 3: He kind of struggled last year, and we've seen him

605
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 3: kind of re emerge the last few weeks.

606
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 2: So I think that's a really good call.

607
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 4: We're gonna get to our DFS lineup, and just a minute,

608
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 4: I can't wait for that because I have absolutely no

609
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 4: idea where we're both going, because everybody all the good

610
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 4: players are really highly priced. We've got to find some

611
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 4: bargains in there. But first let's do our five questions

612
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 4: and under five minutes.

613
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: Five minutes, five questions you never asked.

614
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you.

615
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 4: I get a little irritated and somebody called me away

616
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 4: from my golf.

617
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: This is five under.

618
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 4: Justin ray number one. What was the best story, end

619
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 4: or moment of the I'll put them both together. The

620
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 4: Hawaii slash West Coast Swing.

621
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 3: Best moment he didn't win the golf tournament, but Phoenix

622
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 3: Saturday with Jordan Speed that has to be the best moment.

623
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 3: The emotion that it was actually too It was the

624
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 3: first real moment since the pandemic began where the crowd

625
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 3: got involved. That was something that really stuck out that

626
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 3: day and I think it really made it made me

627
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 3: really miss the fans.

628
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 2: Being out there. And I think that you know, over

629
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,479
Speaker 2: the last nine ten months.

630
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: It's kind of gotten normal, you know, seeing cardboard cutouts

631
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: at football games and nobody along the ropes on at

632
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: PGE Tour events, and then Jordan Speith, like Lazarus comes

633
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 3: back and it's just drained in forty footers.

634
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 4: And everything.

635
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: You're like, oh my god, I missed this so much,

636
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: like what this is awesome? So that to me that

637
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 2: was probably the best moment. And it wasn't just that

638
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: Jordan was doing so great.

639
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 3: It was also that there was this re emergence of

640
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: fand rests.

641
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 4: Yes, and the way I asked that question, I completely

642
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 4: agree with you. I think if I had gone sort

643
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 4: of most memorable moment, most important moment, I still think

644
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 4: Patrick Reid and everything surrounding what he did during the

645
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 4: weekend to Tory Binds is still something that will remember

646
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 4: for a lot of reasons moving forward.

647
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: Duly noted you said you said most important or biggest moment.

648
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 4: Not favorite moment. Yes, yeah, exactly. Yes, the way I

649
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 4: worded it, I completely agree with you. Question number two,

650
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 4: who is your MVP of the Hawaii slash West Coast Swing?

651
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 3: My knee jerk is to say Patrick can'tlet okay sixty

652
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 3: one at the American Express to close, contended at Pebble Beach,

653
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 3: and he was contended into maybe midday Sunday yesterday. He

654
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 3: seemed to be there every time he teed it up.

655
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 3: But I don't know if that's the right answer. You know,

656
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't.

657
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: Know if the numbers in front of me man to

658
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 2: like give you the real legit. Who is the best

659
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 2: strokes game or scoring average or whatever it might be.

660
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: Who did you guys?

661
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 4: Like, Okay, so we landed on and I think you

662
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 4: almost need a winner, and you need a guy who's

663
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 4: played well at other events. You couldn't just win one

664
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 4: and get the whole thing just based on that. Max

665
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 4: Homa Okay, wow, all right, Yeah contented at Pebble.

666
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to win in a big moment. You

667
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 2: know I could see that. I could see that, Yeah

668
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 2: for sure.

669
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 3: Because you think about the other winners, Like see who

670
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 3: Kim didn't play particularly well after you won American Express. Nope, Brooks,

671
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 3: it was you know, Phoenix was awesome, especially on the weekend,

672
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 3: but you know that's really the only big moment for him.

673
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you might end up landing on Homa.

674
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 3: If you've got to pick, you know, MVP style narrative

675
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 3: plus performance, you know it might be your guy.

676
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 4: Right right, I mean it feels like a lot of

677
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 4: these guys. Yeah, the the best players, to use another

678
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 4: MVP analogy, the best players with the best stats weren't

679
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 4: on playoff teams. So you're trying to get a guy

680
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 4: that was on a playoff team, a guy that's got

681
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 4: a winning record into the mix on MVP. So I

682
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 4: think Max Holman at least checks both of those boxes

683
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 4: for us. So question number three, who is the most

684
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,719
Speaker 4: disappointing player of the Hawaii Slash West Coast Wing?

685
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 3: Oh Man, most disappointing player? Whoo oh man, that's tough.

686
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this hurts to say, but I'm going

687
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 3: to categorize it into a person on a particular day,

688
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 3: and that is going to be Jordan Speeth on Sundays.

689
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: And I think that.

690
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 3: Overall what has happened the last month or so extremely

691
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 3: positive Net Massive Game Iron numbers are fantastic compared to

692
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 3: what they were before. But I think the most disappointing thing,

693
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 3: if you just take into account the emotion all that

694
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 3: the Gulf world is seemingly poured into it, it's going

695
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 3: to be Jordan on Sunday with an opportunity to break

696
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 3: through and finally get.

697
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 4: That with yep, I'll buy that. I think that's a

698
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 4: good answer. Question number four. And we talked so much

699
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 4: about Riviera earlier, but of course we saw Coppola's Plantation course,

700
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 4: we saw Tory Pines. I don't know, Phoenix is fine.

701
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 4: What was your favorite course of the Hawaii's last West

702
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 4: Coast Swing.

703
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 3: I might be accused of recency bias, but there are

704
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 3: just so many memorable shots and views and holes.

705
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 2: At Riviera that it's probably still my favorite. Yeah, and

706
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: the Temple.

707
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 3: I know that its test has changed over the years,

708
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 3: especially with the advent of more and more people looking

709
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 3: at the numbers about going for the green at ten,

710
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 3: so it's changed a little bit over the years. Some

711
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 3: of the guys who were on the broadcast this week

712
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 3: over last weekend playing in the eighties.

713
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 2: I think it was Foudo said, oh was.

714
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 3: A four iron up the left side, and guys don't

715
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 3: play it anything like that anymore. But I don't know,

716
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 3: there's so many interesting things about Riviera. I really like

717
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 3: that course. I think Phoenix really misses the environment. I mean,

718
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 3: you know, once you get the full build out and

719
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 3: the full rackus crazy experience, that's what the Phoenix opens

720
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 3: all about. And I love Tory Pines South as well.

721
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 3: It was really cool to see Tory Pines without fans

722
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,479
Speaker 3: and without the buildout, you know, That's the other thing

723
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 3: that's been really cool is seeing some of these golf

724
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: courses without all the fans. As much as I missed

725
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 3: the presence and the environment and the ambiance of it,

726
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 3: you can see a lot of nuances of the golf course.

727
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 3: Like I've never played Tory Pines before, so it was

728
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 3: cool to see where different shots ended up in things

729
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 3: you can do so and then of course you got

730
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: pebble beach and everything.

731
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna stick with ri here.

732
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 4: Speaking of sporting events without fans, did you see the

733
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 4: hockey this weekend? I believe there are a couple of

734
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 4: games in time game I was phoning due to sun. Yeah,

735
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 4: I was kind of out of the mix for that.

736
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 4: I sort of like just totally miss it. But I

737
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 4: did watch the Bruins Flyers on Sunday night with like

738
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 4: no fans and just a rink in the middle of

739
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 4: nowhere and just it was awesome mountains in the background

740
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 4: and snow and it was just so cool to watch.

741
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 4: I had it up.

742
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 3: I've got a two TV set up in my office

743
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 3: and I had I love those the outdoor winter hockey.

744
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 3: I think it's one of the coolest one off things

745
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,479
Speaker 3: in sports that gets done every year.

746
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 2: But I saw a thing of the graphic came up

747
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 2: and it said game postponed, rescheduled for midnight Eastern parenthesis.

748
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 4: Sun.

749
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 3: I was like, Son, and you didn't count for what

750
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 3: this giant ball of gas and heat. You're all very familiar, Son,

751
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 3: like you know, it was the one thing that like, look,

752
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 3: we had a window A on the PGA tour and

753
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 3: that's rare enough, but for a sporting to be postponed,

754
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 3: Dude to Sun, that was something I'd never seen before.

755
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, same, You're right, and that the fact

756
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 4: that happened on the window a. By the way, I

757
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 4: didn't ember remember this weekend. I was a little checked

758
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 4: out on Saturday for many reasons. Question number five, and

759
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 4: I will really believe you think I was putting you

760
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 4: on the spot before I'm putting you on the spot

761
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 4: a lot. Now, who will be the MVP of the

762
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 4: Florida Swing.

763
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 2: The Florida swing Man. This is a stupid lame answer,

764
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 2: but it's Dustin Johnson.

765
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 3: That's a stupid lame answer, And I mean it's not creative,

766
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 3: but I mean that's the first reaction I have. The

767
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 3: man has eleven straight finishes the twelfth or better four

768
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 3: wins in that span. His scoring average since last summer

769
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 3: is sixty seven point seven. That's stupid. That's that's like

770
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 3: Tiger peak scoring.

771
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 2: Average type numbers. The man is just you know he

772
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 2: I feel like the typer eighth he had yesterday was

773
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 2: his floor. That's like the worst that could have happened

774
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 2: that week. My one of my favorite stats from the

775
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 2: whole week.

776
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 3: Dustin Johnson shot over par in a final round for

777
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: the first time yesterday since Riviera last year. He didn't

778
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 3: have a final round over par in between, So three

779
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy one days with that one, I'll say.

780
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 2: DJ's ball striking carries him through and he gets at

781
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 2: least one.

782
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 3: More win here.

783
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 4: Well, good news. We're about to get to our df

784
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 4: line up on DraftKings.

785
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: Want to be a DFS millionaire. You're just one lineup away.

786
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 4: We're gonna go with him, and you're gonna play better

787
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 4: than you ever dreamed of.

788
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 2: God damn, that's what I demand of you.

789
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 4: So let's get drafting three players each as we do

790
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 4: every week, and the balls in your court.

791
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: You're okay.

792
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 3: In six career PGA Tour starts in Florida. This man

793
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 3: has four top five finishes.

794
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 4: I guess, okay, keep going, keep going. I need one,

795
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 4: I need more.

796
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 3: Only one player in the last five years has averaged

797
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 3: two or more strokes game TD Green per round in

798
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 3: the state of.

799
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 4: Florida, tyr Ohattan no Oh.

800
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 3: I thought you're in the same kind of ballpark though,

801
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 3: because this guy also won last year on the Florida.

802
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 6: Swing Son Jay Jaya, Right, he took two weeks off.

803
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 3: He's well rested, which two weeks off for some jam

804
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 3: that's like eleven years for that game. I mean, like

805
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 3: I don't have it in front of me, But he

806
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 3: hasn't taken consecutive weeks off very often over the last

807
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 3: couple of seasons since turning pro. Just absolutely excels on

808
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 3: these Florida setups.

809
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 2: So this.

810
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 3: Data set that I put together, I'm really riding hard here,

811
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 3: admittedly like talking about how well guys have done on

812
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 3: these Florida courses, But I mean, look, they all kind

813
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 3: of they're all kind of long, there's water hazards everywhere.

814
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 2: They've reward really good ball striking. Some jay m let's

815
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 2: put them on the team.

816
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 4: I will tell you justin that I do a one

817
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 4: and done, but I do a couple of one and

818
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 4: done pools, and at least one of them. Prior to

819
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 4: the year starting, I took some jam and usually those

820
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 4: picks turn out to be better than the picks I

821
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 4: make based on form and based on like recent knowledge

822
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 4: when I'm picking during the week. So I don't mind

823
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 4: s Jay whatsoever my first pick. And I know we're

824
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 4: gonna have to dig deeper for for some bargains here

825
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 4: at some point, but I'm spending some money. Tony Few

826
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 4: will not play badly this week. He just he's not

827
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 4: playing badly. I think he's gonna win. I really do.

828
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 4: I really think he's gonna shut everybody up and he's

829
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 4: gonna win by a few and everyone's gonna go okay. Well,

830
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 4: so much for that narrative. And it's gonna look silly

831
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 4: on Sunday night if he does, because we're all gonna

832
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 4: be sitting there going, well, the guy fished in third

833
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 4: place three weeks in the row. Of course he's gonna win.

834
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 4: Why would we think anything else, Like he was just

835
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 4: banging on the door. And so I'm going Tony Few

836
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 4: and I'm riding that horse throughout the entire week. He's

837
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 4: at ninety eight hundred on DraftKings.

838
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 2: This week, you're making way too much sense, So way

839
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 2: too much sense.

840
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 3: I like, I like for all big time, and like

841
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 3: we talked about before the you hit record, I'm a

842
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 3: proponent of you keep putting yourself in a position to succeed,

843
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 3: and eventually it's gonna happen.

844
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: It's gonna break through.

845
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 3: So I'm with you. I like Tony a lot this

846
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 3: week too. All right, now we're gonna find some value.

847
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 3: And I've got a guy who ranked sixth on the

848
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 3: European Tour last season, stroke game Green. He's at plus

849
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 3: fifteen thousand for the week, so I think he's gonna

850
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 3: be pretty cheap on DraftKings. I'm not looking at his

851
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 3: number yet. Tied for fourth in Saudi Arabia. Only DJ

852
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 3: Fenaw and Rose beat him in Saudi Arabia, twelfth on

853
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 3: the European Tour and strokes gain approach last season, big

854
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 3: guy six foot six hits it a mile, rank third

855
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 3: and strokes king off the tee on the European Tour

856
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 3: last season. The Frenchman Victor Perez, I think has got

857
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 3: some value here.

858
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 2: I think he's a.

859
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 3: Guy who we're going to learn more about here in

860
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 3: the next couple of years. Just great ball striking metrics

861
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 3: on the European Tour of the last few seasons, and

862
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 3: you know, I think there's some value there.

863
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 2: He's pretty low down on the board. Do you see

864
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 2: the price for him? I don't. I didn't do enough.

865
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 4: He's sixty nine hundred this week, so yeah, nine.

866
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 3: Hundred's pretty good. I mean, he's probably the same as

867
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 3: Lee Westwood and no offense. I love Lee Westwood and

868
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 3: have for a long time. But he's kind of a

869
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 3: ceremonial participant this year in the WGC at Concession.

870
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't mind that at all. And by

871
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 4: the way, for those that I mentioned one and done

872
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 4: pools a minute ago, there are a few different ways

873
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 4: to go I think in one and done pools one

874
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 4: for WGC events, one is just take a big gun.

875
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 4: He's got a great chance of winning, because we've seen

876
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 4: that went over it earlier, but over the years, the

877
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 4: best players tend to win these events. The other one

878
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 4: is to just go, hey, here's a second tier type

879
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 4: player that has a high ceiling and at least he's

880
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 4: gonna get paid. I'm not gonna use him anywhere else.

881
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 4: A Louis Eustasen I think for me fits into there.

882
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 4: There's no other place on the schedule where I go.

883
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 4: I gotta play Louis there. That's he's my guy that week.

884
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 4: But can you see him winning at some point in WGC?

885
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 4: Sure he plays. He's actually finished, I believe, top some

886
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 4: top twenty and five of his last six wgc's, so

887
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 4: that's play well in those. And the last one is

888
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 4: kind of where you're going with this, which is just

889
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 4: take a guy who plays on the European too, or

890
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 4: who's gonna make money this week. It's going to be

891
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 4: differentiated from a lot of the other people in your

892
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 4: pool if you're trying to play some catchup, and so

893
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,280
Speaker 4: you can go with a guy like Victor Perez this week,

894
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 4: go with a Thomas Detree this week and hope that

895
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 4: it works for you. And like you said, Tyrol Hatton

896
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 4: has played very well at this event, grants a new

897
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 4: golf course. But also one guy that I think is

898
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 4: severely underpriced because he didn't play well in the West Coast.

899
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 4: I just don't think he's a West Coast swing kind

900
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 4: of guy. Eric Van Royan is even money for a

901
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 4: top forty this week, and he kind of fits into

902
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 4: that profile as well. His odds have severely moved in

903
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 4: the wrong direction for him, the right direction for us.

904
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 4: So I think there's some something to be said about

905
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 4: Van Royan as well. Okay, I'm getting my second pick,

906
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 4: our fourth pick here in the lineup. I mentioned his

907
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 4: name earlier. I thought the ball striking was really good

908
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 4: for two days. The score was not great seventy three

909
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 4: seventy three at Riviera, but the putter, he's just got

910
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 4: to be absolutely like, hopefully it was the putting greens

911
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 4: and the surface and not the putter itself. But Gary

912
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 4: Woodland did not putt well. I expect that to change

913
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 4: when he gets to Florida, where he makes his home base.

914
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 4: And at sixty eight hundred, I think he's a really

915
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 4: smart player this week.

916
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 3: Cheaper than Perez, that's an unbelievable value. I think that's

917
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 3: a great call. I mean, I'm a big proponent to

918
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 3: of ball striking numbers carry they go from place to place.

919
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 3: Putting numbers are much more variable, so it's tougher to get.

920
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 2: A lockdown on what a guy's gonna do.

921
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna leave you with plenty of money for

922
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 3: your last pick, because I'm going with another guy to

923
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 3: kind of fill out the back end of our roster.

924
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 3: He finished fifth of the DP World's last fall the

925
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 3: European Tours marquee event at the end of the season.

926
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 3: Fourth in Dubai a couple of weeks ago, twenty first

927
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 3: in his last start in Saudi gets a really good field.

928
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 3: He's really put together a handful of nice performances, recently

929
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 3: twelfth on the European Tour this season in strokes kan

930
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 3: tea Green. Currently a twenty dollars bet on this guy

931
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 3: winning three hundred bucks he finishes in the top ten.

932
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 2: LORI canter what going way down off the blow.

933
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of value here for a

934
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 3: guy who's got a ton of He's got some good upside,

935
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna leave you with plenty of cash for

936
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 3: your last pick to give you one of those big

937
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 3: horses around out the team that you think you could

938
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 3: we could maybe.

939
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 2: Get a w out of, but I think you could.

940
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 3: I feel like in these WGC events once you're always

941
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 3: introduced to a European Tour player like Van Royan last

942
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 3: year in Mexico, where you're like, oh yeah, he's got

943
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 3: a handful of really good finishes. His numbers are pretty

944
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 3: good over there, and by Friday afternoon, you're thinking yourself, Man,

945
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 3: why didn't I think about this dude?

946
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 2: Cancer is the name that popped up a lot the

947
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 2: second half of the year of the European Tour on

948
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 2: leader boards.

949
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 3: And I know he's a complete unknown to most golf fans,

950
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 3: a relative unknown to hardcore fans as well.

951
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 2: But I think that you can get a ton of

952
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 2: value here for this guy.

953
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 3: That's my long shot out of the gate to tell you,

954
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 3: I think we can get a decent finish out of it.

955
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 4: Justin up, you got to give me a second here.

956
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 4: I'm getting a little get a little choked up, get

957
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 4: a little emotional. Uh, you've left me elevens. Nobody's ever

958
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 4: done something this nice for me, That's right, that's right.

959
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 4: I can't believe what you've done for me here. I

960
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 4: mean other than I mean, you could have picked someone

961
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 4: a little bit lower. I could afford DJ, But okay,

962
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 4: other than DJ, I call anybody in the field right now.

963
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 4: You know what I am going to It's not really

964
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 4: a compromise because you left me the money, but your

965
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 4: favorite play your favorite outright this week. We've differentiated enough

966
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,760
Speaker 4: so I don't mind spending the entire allotment of salary cap.

967
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 4: Your guy this week is John Rahm, and I certainly

968
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 4: will never ever argue a John Rohm play. I love

969
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 4: John Rahm, and I have no problem with that. I

970
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 4: think he made some great points. I picked him last

971
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 4: year at the Memorial based on the exact same things

972
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 4: you said earlier about his final round ball striking at

973
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 4: Riviera get it going into the next week. I think

974
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 4: he's very predictive.

975
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:41,919
Speaker 2: In that way.

976
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 4: And so John ram to round it out. And that

977
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 4: lineup is Lori Canter, Tony fenw Some JM, Victor Perez,

978
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 4: John Rahm, Gary Woodland. If there's anybody out there that

979
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 4: has the same exact lineup as us.

980
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 6: They stole it, and I'm okay, I go deep because

981
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 6: so they don't have to. I mean, I'll go find

982
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 6: you at Perez and a Canter. We need to round

983
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 6: up the team. But it fits what you were talking.

984
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 3: About, right, really high end guys Rom and Fenal the

985
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 3: value play.

986
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 2: Maybe you know.

987
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,439
Speaker 3: Where you pick a European tour guy who you'd never

988
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 3: use anywhere else and you're gonna get some differential value

989
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 3: there in Perez and Lori Canter and then a guy

990
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 3: who's got great numbers sub JM in Florida, Gary Woodland,

991
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:29,280
Speaker 3: who is criminally under priced here at sixty eight hundred.

992
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I like it. I think we've got a

993
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 2: good team.

994
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 3: Of course, this is the same thing I tell myself

995
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 3: literally every week every week.

996
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 4: Team looks great on Monday Night when we make it

997
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 4: every week where Monday Night Superstars before we go and

998
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 4: I'm gonna put you on the spot for like the

999
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 4: eighth time in this podcast. But I don't know if

1000
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 4: you've looked yet, but one play for the Puerto Rico

1001
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 4: Open for the people out there, give your play.

1002
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 2: And while you're doing that, I'm gonna give you one, Okay.

1003
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 4: I'm going with a guy who is a former top

1004
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 4: ten player in the world, a guy who is the

1005
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 4: only player in the history of the entire game to

1006
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 4: shoot better than a sixty three in a major championship.

1007
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,439
Speaker 4: He did it Royal Birkdale four years ago, thirty fourth,

1008
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 4: two weeks ago, twentieth last week. I think that the

1009
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 4: golf course hosting the Puerto Rico Open this week should

1010
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 4: be a little windy. It's a tighter, shorter golf course. Hmmm.

1011
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 4: Reminds a little of Harbortown where this guy won previously,

1012
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 4: his only career PGA Tour win, Brandon Grace at right

1013
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 4: around twenty two to one in most books, is my

1014
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:32,479
Speaker 4: play this week in Puerto Rico.

1015
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,439
Speaker 3: I'll go with the theme at Puerto Rico of young

1016
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 3: guys breaking through for their first PGA Tour win, Tony Finow,

1017
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 3: Victor Hovelin that you know, tapping a lot over the years,

1018
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 3: guys who have popped through and got it. Will Gordon

1019
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 3: is a guy with driving numbers. They're off the charts.

1020
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 3: And we saw how HoTT as Putter can get at

1021
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,959
Speaker 3: the Travelers last year, going sight unseen, having not looked

1022
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 3: at the field until forty five seconds ago. I'm gonna

1023
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 3: give you. I'm gonna give you convincingly. Give me Will Gordon,

1024
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 3: give me, give me my guy who he bombs it.

1025
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 3: Man he puts if he if he drives the ball,

1026
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 3: well he can put himself in a position anywhere.

1027
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 2: But I don't know if I can. I don't know

1028
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 2: if I can beat Brandon Grace in an alternate field event.

1029
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 3: That's pretty good. It feels like it was a Graham

1030
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 3: McDowell who won.

1031
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 2: Opposite of match play. Ian Poulter's in there.

1032
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 4: I mean this Ian Poulter has very much a Graham

1033
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 4: McDowell late career opposite event kind of feel to it,

1034
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 4: doesn't it for sure?

1035
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 3: By the way, did you see the alternate list for

1036
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 3: the WGC. It's un Speith and Fouler on the altern Henley, Yeah,

1037
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 3: it was unbelievable.

1038
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 4: I think flying is speed flying into Tampa to like

1039
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 4: sit around on a putting green for.

1040
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 3: A few days, get a hang tied at the Marriotte

1041
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 3: see if he see if someone.

1042
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 2: Drops out, there's zero chance of that, right, absolutely no shot.

1043
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 3: So if you're eleventh on that alternate list, you know,

1044
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 3: head on a swivel because I don't think a lot

1045
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 3: of those.

1046
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 2: Guys are going out there and waiting.

1047
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, the alternate list in Puerto Rico, you and I

1048
00:47:58,560 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 4: might be on it.

1049
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:04,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I see Sean mckeel and so Tommy Armor

1050
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 3: the third it's you gotta go down the list. I

1051
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 3: saw today that Charlie Wee turned down a spot.

1052
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: As an alternate.

1053
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's waiting for you know, maybe he's.

1054
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 3: Got another career at this point, he does you got

1055
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 3: I got other commitments.

1056
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 4: I ran into Chris couch the other day, who teaches

1057
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 4: at my club, and Couchy was like, yeah, I gotta

1058
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 4: you know, I haven't played an event in a year,

1059
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 4: and I gotta go through. Like, yeah, I get a

1060
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,919
Speaker 4: COVID desk, and you go and you get another COVID desk.

1061
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 4: I gotta do all that. He's like, I used, just

1062
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 4: I've been doing this for twenty five years. You just

00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 4: get on a plane, show off, you play golf. He's like,

1064
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 4: I gotta go through all this stuff now. So I

1065
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 4: think some of these guys get a little taste of

1066
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,400
