Speaker 1: I miss the green, for example, I'm already upset.
Speaker 2: When I find my ball in the bunker, I'm really upset.
Speaker 1: And when I find my.
Speaker 3: Ball in a brid egg Friday Egg, the dreaded Frida Egg,
Speaker 3: Friday Frida Egg Bride.
Speaker 1: Egg Lie, I'm about ready to run off of the course.
Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back to another edition of the
Speaker 4: Friday Egg Podcast. Today, I'm joined by Polly and Kyle Nathan,
Speaker 4: and we're going to do a little bit of a
Speaker 4: recap on the Sony and a preview of the Career
Speaker 4: Builder Challenge. Kyle, Paul, how are you doing.
Speaker 3: Good?
Speaker 2: And how are you guys doing Guys.
Speaker 4: Not much, just getting over the blimp gate of twenty
Speaker 4: eighteen Sony Open coverage done mostly by Blimp.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5: It was kind of like straight out of the seventies,
Speaker 5: almost apart like maybe the Show's Wonderful World of Golf.
Speaker 3: I honestly thought I was watching like the CDGA periscoping
Speaker 3: the end of like the State Midam or something. At
Speaker 3: times it was it was high quality TV.
Speaker 2: It was hard.
Speaker 3: It was hard to go from that dramatic football game
Speaker 3: to periscope and blimp golf.
Speaker 4: Just an uneventful six hole playoff too. M H just
Speaker 4: magnified how bad it was. But I do have to
Speaker 4: give Golf Channel some props, like George Savarcaz doing the
Speaker 4: play by play for like five hours from from Orlando.
Speaker 6: Was pretty impressive.
Speaker 4: They pulled it together for having no audio or real video.
Speaker 3: Guys, I'm in complete agreement. I actually, when I was
Speaker 3: reading the story on Sunday morning, I kind of thought
Speaker 3: they might even just bag it all together on the telecast.
Speaker 3: But I give them a lot of credit too, because
Speaker 3: they made a lot out of really nothing.
Speaker 6: So I'm with you, Paully.
Speaker 4: What do you think of Paton Kazaire second win of
Speaker 4: the season.
Speaker 5: He started to feel comfortable on tour and once he
Speaker 5: kind of got the one woman back at the Ohl,
Speaker 5: it seems like when he beat Foller there, he's just
Speaker 5: kind of ready to kind of get on a roll
Speaker 5: similar to what he did when he was on the
Speaker 5: web dot com. Once he got comfortable, he started, you know,
Speaker 5: winning a lot of events.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's kind of in that bucket we
Speaker 4: were talking about Harmon and Kissner, guys that take a
Speaker 4: little bit longer to develop but could end up being
Speaker 4: a really really good pro for a while.
Speaker 5: Definitely, especially if you get him on a course where
Speaker 5: he doesn't have to hit a lot of fairways. It
Speaker 5: was kind of weird that he kind of want it
Speaker 5: only because you wouldn't expect his game to fit there.
Speaker 1: He just happened his irons and putty well there.
Speaker 5: But if you get him on a course such as
Speaker 5: this week, were the fairways are a little bit wider,
Speaker 5: you got a little bit of room to miss off
Speaker 5: the tee because Lawyer could win a lot of tournaments
Speaker 5: just based upon the fact of how solid is iron
Speaker 5: and putting him is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, outside of Sea Wu disappointing me, My biggest regret
Speaker 4: was that we greatly underestimated one Desuke to Kotoka.
Speaker 1: Well we did mention.
Speaker 4: I think there wasn't much intel out on him, and
Speaker 4: turns out he can he can play a little golf.
Speaker 1: Yes, definitely, that.
Speaker 3: Name seems like a name you can just kind of
Speaker 3: forget about until the PGA Championship when he had as
Speaker 3: the second round league, because that feels like it's coming
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 1: Pulling the old shingle, I'm on us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who was the other guy that last year was
Speaker 2: a two a go whistling.
Speaker 1: Was that a Tanahara? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think she had a shot, like, what did she
Speaker 2: sixty three or something? The second day it's unconscious.
Speaker 1: Well, the same thing at the match play last year,
Speaker 1: done in Austin and then you were there, right Andy, Right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, tany Harrow was a giant killer.
Speaker 4: So, uh, Paul, have you got any other takeaways from
Speaker 4: yesterday or the whole weekend? No?
Speaker 5: I think one of the surprising things was that the
Speaker 5: final winning score was only seventeen under. I'm guessing when
Speaker 5: you know, guys like Justin Thomas and Jordan's be teed
Speaker 5: up on Sunday morning, they were expecting the winning score
Speaker 5: to be twenty. So when Justin Thomas reflects on it,
Speaker 5: we kind of saw it in his you know, post
Speaker 5: on interview that when he realized that he could have
Speaker 5: shot I think sixty three and been in a playoff,
Speaker 5: it might have stung a little bit because that that's
Speaker 5: definitely not on the realm of possibilities for him on
Speaker 5: that golf course.
Speaker 6: Kyle, you got anything, you know?
Speaker 3: My one takeaway is that Brian Harmon is continuing to
Speaker 3: just be in fuego and you know, put himself in
Speaker 3: position to win.
Speaker 2: Seemingly every week now.
Speaker 3: And we actually got a question from k Tex He
Speaker 3: it's a repeat question.
Speaker 2: He's asked us a few.
Speaker 3: Times about Brian Harmon being a household name over under
Speaker 3: one and a half wins and it's hard.
Speaker 2: You know, winning's a fickle thing in golf, but it's
Speaker 2: hard to take the under on that. I mean, he's
Speaker 2: he's there every week.
Speaker 4: Basically, Yeah, I think he is going to rack up
Speaker 4: wins in his thirties. I think he's thirty one, So
Speaker 4: lots of golf had it. Something it's interesting to think
Speaker 4: about is last year was the year of the twenties
Speaker 4: and could we see the thirty year old fight back
Speaker 4: this year punch back? And so far in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 4: we've got two thirty year guys in the thirties winning
Speaker 4: the first two events. With Harmon he had the career
Speaker 4: builder after two straight weeks in contention and the last
Speaker 4: two years he finished T third and T eleventh. That
Speaker 4: mean Palm Springs so obviously a good pick for this week.
Speaker 4: Unique format, fifty four holes before the cut, and it's
Speaker 4: a pro am and they play three different courses. Polly,
Speaker 4: what are you looking for at Palm Springs in terms
Speaker 4: of stats and what are you focusing on?
Speaker 5: So in terms of stats, they have three different courses.
Speaker 5: They have Lakinta, Nicholas, and the Stadium course, which is
Speaker 5: where they played. They'll play two of the four rounds,
Speaker 5: so everybody after the cut will play on the Stadium
Speaker 5: course on Sunday.
Speaker 1: In terms of stats, I'm gonna be.
Speaker 5: Focusing most on approach game and ability to make a
Speaker 5: lot of putts between probably that five to fifteen foot range.
Speaker 5: These are traditionally some of the best greens on tour
Speaker 5: in terms of conditioning and speed. So we've seen a
Speaker 5: lot of guys that have been able to hit approach
Speaker 5: shots in that zone, just rack up a lot of
Speaker 5: berdize and take it super deep in this tournament.
Speaker 1: In the past.
Speaker 4: Last year was a anomaly in terms of the conditioning.
Speaker 4: I mean it was cold and windy, which it's usually
Speaker 4: very dome like out there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely, So I think last year the cut was
Speaker 5: five under after fifty four holes, and then in twenty
Speaker 5: sixteen it was nine under. You had to shoot for
Speaker 5: three rounds to make the cut. And one other thing
Speaker 5: about the cut, since it's only me one round on
Speaker 5: Sunday is if there is actually more than seventy eight players,
Speaker 5: they actually cut to sixty and ties instead of seventy.
Speaker 5: So with a condensed leaderboard, I wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 5: you have seventy nine or eighty and you think your
Speaker 5: guy me the cut being tied for sixty eighth, then
Speaker 5: he actually misses it.
Speaker 1: So it's one thing to be aware of for fantasy wise.
Speaker 4: From what I looked at, it doesn't seem like it's
Speaker 4: two bomber heavy in terms of the courses don't favor
Speaker 4: bombers that much.
Speaker 6: I think it's.
Speaker 4: More favors like the really steady ball strikers.
Speaker 6: Am I right there?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: The only thing is I think the par five's are
Speaker 5: able to attack. And then there are a couple of
Speaker 5: courses or a couple of holes in the courses to
Speaker 5: where you can take driver if you're confident. And that's
Speaker 5: kind of what like Jamie Lovemark has done in the
Speaker 5: Pass and these courses. He's felt confident with these driver
Speaker 5: and he's kind of just swung away with it. And
Speaker 5: so if there's guys that are gonna do that, they
Speaker 5: have the potential to make. You know, a lot of birdies,
Speaker 5: but there's going a lot of approach shots between you know,
Speaker 5: one twenty five and one fifty zone where the guys
Speaker 5: are hit you know, anywhere from gap wedge to maybe
Speaker 5: nine irons.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a lot of those each round.
Speaker 6: So the field is okay.
Speaker 4: There's only five guys in the top thirty in the world,
Speaker 4: headliner or like Rom and Michelson. And then the course
Speaker 4: setup has been the same the last Now this will
Speaker 4: be the third year where they play PGA West Stadium course,
Speaker 4: which is the famous Pete Die design that got booted
Speaker 4: off of the tour in the eighties for being, you know,
Speaker 4: because the players hated it so much. The PGA West
Speaker 4: Nicholas Tournament Course, and then Lacina, which has been a
Speaker 4: staple of the rotation forever and the easiest course. I
Speaker 4: was talking to Zach Blair earlier. He said, the one
Speaker 4: thing is that, you know, like a lot of courses,
Speaker 4: if you can hit it to ninety, you can get
Speaker 4: past a lot of the bunkers if you can carry
Speaker 4: it to ninety. So with Bubba actually playing back this
Speaker 4: year for the first time since twenty ten, is he
Speaker 4: a play Polly?
Speaker 1: Probably?
Speaker 5: I think there's a lot other options on the board
Speaker 5: this week besides Bubba, so.
Speaker 4: Let's kick off with one and done, leagues, kind of
Speaker 4: who pop for you?
Speaker 5: So, guys, in terms of popping, I mean, if you
Speaker 5: want to go the stut route, obviously like Harmon and
Speaker 5: Ramer there. As you mentioned Harmon, you know has played
Speaker 5: good the last two times here, and he also made
Speaker 5: it out a Q School on these on the Nicholas
Speaker 5: Tournament course in the Stadium course for a couple of years,
Speaker 5: and so he got out of here a Q School
Speaker 5: in twenty eleven, finished eighth there. So you know there's
Speaker 5: a pedigree of playing good at this track and playing
Speaker 5: good recently. So if you didn't take Harmon last week,
Speaker 5: this is another good opportunity to get a guy while
Speaker 5: he's hot, probably got a pretty good chance of getting
Speaker 5: a top five or top ten this week. Some people
Speaker 5: may want to choose John Ram this week, but I'm
Speaker 5: probably gonna end up saving him for later in the year.
Speaker 1: But he has you know, he's only.
Speaker 5: Played here once before, but he's clearly the best player
Speaker 5: in the field by a long shot in terms of
Speaker 5: like world ranking, So you could go with him, and
Speaker 5: then you can always go for some of the other
Speaker 5: guy who's down the line. We can kind of talk
Speaker 5: some of those maybe when we kind of go through
Speaker 5: like the DraftKings portion can kind of talk about who
Speaker 5: may be a potential one and done option as well.
Speaker 4: It seems like the key with Ram is, like you
Speaker 4: just he's going to be a good pick for almost
Speaker 4: any golf course or any field. He's finished in the
Speaker 4: top ten forty five percent of his start since he's
Speaker 4: in any pro event. So it's just an editor of
Speaker 4: avoiding like not getting unlucky and having it be a
Speaker 4: one bad week of the year.
Speaker 3: He kind of seems like a guy to hold for
Speaker 3: a Major because you know, his pick percentage would be
Speaker 3: pretty low in the Major, you'd think.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the only thing I'm afraid with Rom is that
Speaker 5: if he wins a couple of times early in the
Speaker 5: year before Major, he all of a sudden may become
Speaker 5: a popular pick for the majors. Right, And we've seen
Speaker 5: that what guys happened before. So you know, maybe a
Speaker 5: week where if you take Rom, maybe he's only five
Speaker 5: or ten percent on in your league, and if he wins,
Speaker 5: you get a massive edge.
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think a lot of people will
Speaker 4: be picking them this week. Another high profile guy would
Speaker 4: be like Patrick Reid, who's won here before and has
Speaker 4: has finished a lot of had a lot of high
Speaker 4: finishes here. It's actually his first start of the year.
Speaker 4: You like Patrick Reid, Are you fading him?
Speaker 5: I wouldn't take him for one and done this week.
Speaker 5: So his victory was one of the different course rotations.
Speaker 5: So he's gone twelve and fifty sixth and the two
Speaker 5: times they've done this course rotation. So I'm not as
Speaker 5: much of a fan on these courses, on these courses
Speaker 5: than than what was previous.
Speaker 4: So we've talked about Rom, Harmon and Reed. Who are
Speaker 4: those are the top three price guys on DraftKings. Then
Speaker 4: also above ten thousand we've got Kevin Kissner and Phil Micholson.
Speaker 4: What do you think about those guys? Are you looking
Speaker 4: to get you know, one or two of the high
Speaker 4: priced guys?
Speaker 5: No, if I was going with somebody on DraftKings, it's
Speaker 5: going to be either Be or Harmon up on top,
Speaker 5: just just because of the birdie potential. So if you
Speaker 5: look at Rom and you see last year he was
Speaker 5: thirty fourth here, may it look like a bad result.
Speaker 5: But if we dig into it, he had twenty birdies
Speaker 5: last year and finished thirty fourth. He just happened to have,
Speaker 5: you know, seven bogies and two doubles, and on the
Speaker 5: sixteen par fives he played, he only played them two under.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 5: So it seems like there's a lot of room improvement
Speaker 5: based on what we know about John Rahm, where he
Speaker 5: could come out here and you know, necessarily blow the
Speaker 5: field away, but he could carry the rest of your lineup,
Speaker 5: and I don't see guys like Kissner or you know,
Speaker 5: or Michelson carrying a.
Speaker 1: Lineup this week.
Speaker 4: The other thing is is it kind of goes to
Speaker 4: what Zach said, is that he's long enough that he
Speaker 4: can get pasted a lot of the trouble and then
Speaker 4: it becomes just a wedge fest for him. And I
Speaker 4: know that's an area where he's worked a ton in
Speaker 4: the offseason, so we could see those improved results this
Speaker 4: week exactly.
Speaker 1: And he's just a birdie machine.
Speaker 5: So I think that's the difference between a guy like
Speaker 5: Kisner and Rom is that every round you're gonna see
Speaker 5: Kisner make probably one or two birdies less than Rom
Speaker 5: in over four rounds. That's going to add up and
Speaker 5: be you know, a big difference for draftings scoring. So
Speaker 5: that's kind of a reason why I like Harmon as well.
Speaker 5: He had twenty two birdies and an eagle there last year,
Speaker 5: twenty three birdies in twenty sixteen, and had thirty one
Speaker 5: birdies here in HU School in twenty eleven, so you
Speaker 5: can definitely fill it up.
Speaker 3: Do you find the multi course events to be easier
Speaker 3: or harder to handicap?
Speaker 5: I would say harder to handicap because in this case,
Speaker 5: and similar to like Pebble Beach, they don't have shot
Speaker 5: link data for all three courses in terms of like
Speaker 5: looking historically, like to figure out trends in terms of
Speaker 5: where did players perform, how do they perform? Did they
Speaker 5: just play good last year and finish high because they
Speaker 5: put it amazing or what happened? You don't necessarily have
Speaker 5: all that data, and that makes it difficult.
Speaker 2: It makes sense.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's this early part of the season.
Speaker 4: There isn't a lot of shot link data because just
Speaker 4: there's a couple of multi course deals and you know,
Speaker 4: they had the Asia Swing where they didn't have the
Speaker 4: data makes it a little bit more difficult for you.
Speaker 4: Definitely so then we go into like the nine thousands
Speaker 4: and eight thousands, and there's a lot of guys in
Speaker 4: here that are intriguing, whether it be based off of hot,
Speaker 4: recent play or past results.
Speaker 6: Who do you like in here?
Speaker 4: You got Jason Duffner, Webb Simpson, Kazaire who just won
Speaker 4: last week, Hadley who was on a tear, Shay Revey.
Speaker 5: I would actually go with Chez here. So an interesting
Speaker 5: thing with Chez. Last week he finished eighteenth of the
Speaker 5: Sony Open. And he's kind of a typical guy that
Speaker 5: finishes between tenth and twentieth almost every single time. So
Speaker 5: if you look at his record, I think he went
Speaker 5: in the last like such a seven starts. He's finished
Speaker 5: every time in the top twenty five, but never in
Speaker 5: the top ten. This past week he actually lost five
Speaker 5: shots on the green putting and finish eighteenth. He had
Speaker 5: his normal putting, which is gaining about a shot for
Speaker 5: the whole event shorts gain putting, he would have finished
Speaker 5: at seventeen hundred would have been the playoff. So and
Speaker 5: that's just the normal putting week.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The other thing about Reve is he went to college
Speaker 4: at Arizona State, so you know, very accustomed to playing desert.
Speaker 5: Golf definitely, And that's kind of the other Corrollari with
Speaker 5: Rom as well. They're kind of comfortable in this in
Speaker 5: the situation.
Speaker 4: So a name that popped in here that I just like,
Speaker 4: you know, saw who I hadn't heard from and so
Speaker 4: long as crazy as Bill hass like kind of been
Speaker 4: become the forgotten man in recent years of golf.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's one of my most hated DraftKings plays ever
Speaker 5: because he just makes zero birdie, so play around and
Speaker 5: make two birdies one bogie and not really help your
Speaker 5: team at all. And so he's priced here high at
Speaker 5: eighty six hundred. He missed the cut last week, I
Speaker 5: believe Don and Sony, So even though he has a
Speaker 5: good track record here, I don't see enough upside to
Speaker 5: play him in any Draftings sermons this week.
Speaker 4: What about Brendan Steele. I always feel like he's in
Speaker 4: an under that valued guy like he People just don't
Speaker 4: like him, so they don't pick him.
Speaker 5: And I think he's another local guy as well here too,
Speaker 5: But he's played well here last year, I think in
Speaker 5: a top ten finish, and he's another guy that could
Speaker 5: you know, when he gets hot with his game, he
Speaker 5: can roll a lot of putts in and make a
Speaker 5: lot of birdies in around. So I definitely like the
Speaker 5: guys that have the ability to make six, seven, eight
Speaker 5: birdies in a round, whereas like Steele could do it,
Speaker 5: I don't think Hawk can do that consistently.
Speaker 6: So any other ones that add here.
Speaker 5: In that price rad you're talking between like eighty five
Speaker 5: and ten thousand. Now, I don't see any other main guys.
Speaker 5: I mean, I like Web Simpson a little bit up there,
Speaker 5: but I think he's going to be very heavily owned
Speaker 5: based upon how he finished last week.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he seems to be playing pretty well the last
Speaker 4: I don't know, nine months or so. He's really kind
Speaker 4: of rounding back into not what he once was, which
Speaker 4: was a top ten player in the world, but a
Speaker 4: really steady, solid player.
Speaker 6: And he gets a done tee to Green, So.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he actually started to figure out his putting. So
Speaker 5: in his last ten events he had positive strokes stained
Speaker 5: putting in eight of those, So that's kind of where
Speaker 5: his successes come from.
Speaker 6: What about one and done for Web?
Speaker 3: What was that?
Speaker 6: What about one and done for Web?
Speaker 5: I'm probably gonna end up saving him for a few
Speaker 5: other times in the year where I think he's a
Speaker 5: better choice. I don't know if he has enough upside
Speaker 5: to win here. I think he'll get you a top fifteen,
Speaker 5: But there's a couple other choices. I'd be more likely
Speaker 5: to go with Chez probably, and I think he's probably
Speaker 5: you're not gonna use him anywhere else this year, and
Speaker 5: he's got a good chance of getting a top fifteen
Speaker 5: for you if you're going to go that route.
Speaker 4: Okay, So then we move into you know, kind of
Speaker 4: under eighty five hundred and into the seven thousands, and
Speaker 4: what names pop here?
Speaker 5: So the one that popped the most to me, it
Speaker 5: was don at seventy seven hundred was Brent Snedecker. So
Speaker 5: Sneddecker's you know, this is his first event of the
Speaker 5: full season. He played I think one event in the
Speaker 5: fall the RSM made the cut there. It started hit
Speaker 5: the ball pretty well, and then he went and played
Speaker 5: went down and played in Indonesia. And the reason he
Speaker 5: did that is he was trying to make the top
Speaker 5: fifty by the end of the year so he could
Speaker 5: get exempt in the Masters.
Speaker 1: But he fell ill while playing, so he.
Speaker 5: Withdrew down there, so he didn't hit the top fifty
Speaker 5: so he has a little bit of motivation year to
Speaker 5: make it in the top fifty so he can play
Speaker 5: it Augusta because that tournament is his favorite tournament.
Speaker 1: It means the world tone.
Speaker 6: How's this track record at this course, Well, he.
Speaker 5: Hasn't played here in the last two years for this rotation.
Speaker 5: But if you look in terms of what skill set
Speaker 5: we like in this golf course, it's guys that can
Speaker 5: hit ironshots close and can make putts. Well, that's pretty
Speaker 5: much Brent Snedeker. If you have a guy sitting in
Speaker 5: one twenty five, I'll take Snedecker all day to get
Speaker 5: up and down versus almost any other PGA to a pro.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's true. I know.
Speaker 4: He's always putts really so well on PO and with
Speaker 4: the AT and T and the Farmers too, so he
Speaker 4: tends to.
Speaker 2: Play well at the beginning of the year too.
Speaker 3: I feel like he almost always wins one tournament in
Speaker 3: the first couple months of the season.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I'm done thinking he notches will win here
Speaker 5: or has enough high finishes to where he gets in
Speaker 5: the top fifty come Augusta.
Speaker 4: It's kind of crazy he's outside the top fifty, but yeah,
Speaker 4: anyone else in this area.
Speaker 5: Kevin nah who missed the cut last week at the Sony,
Speaker 5: but might have had one of the worst putting performances
Speaker 5: I've ever seen through two rounds. He lost eight shots
Speaker 5: on the greens in two rounds last week and only
Speaker 5: shot two over. So if he just putt it halfway
Speaker 5: Deaston last week, he would have been at six under
Speaker 5: after thirty six holes and been, you know, right there.
Speaker 5: And he has a pretty good track record at the
Speaker 5: events here, so I look for him to kind of
Speaker 5: bounce back this week and honestly win the event, but
Speaker 5: I wouldn't be surprised to see him finish top fifteen
Speaker 5: this week.
Speaker 4: I kind of like Grayson Murray. I know he's such
Speaker 4: an idiot on Twitter, but he's gonna win a lot
Speaker 4: of times as a tour pro. He's still only like
Speaker 4: twenty four years old, and he finished I think top
Speaker 4: fifteen here last year. It's a name that I think
Speaker 4: this is a golf course that could set up really
Speaker 4: well for arm.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's one of those high upside guys to where
Speaker 5: if he plays well, which is.
Speaker 1: What you're trying to do. If you're trying to win
Speaker 1: a drafting sermon, you need a guy.
Speaker 5: If he plays well to go off and Murray plays well,
Speaker 5: he's going to make twenty five verdies this week, so
Speaker 5: he definitely has the upside. And he also can make
Speaker 5: eagles on the par fives as well, which is key.
Speaker 2: I'm watching boy, Ryan Armor.
Speaker 6: Yeah, my man crush on Ryan Arm, right.
Speaker 5: I think he keeps hitting it solid every single time
Speaker 5: he plays. So, as some of you might follow me
Speaker 5: on Twitter, I kind of had like a Ryan Armor
Speaker 5: stat trecker update of how many times he keeps hitting
Speaker 5: it inside twenty feet. So last week he ate thirty
Speaker 5: two out of seventy two holes inside twenty feet again,
Speaker 5: which in the two events in Hawaii he almost half
Speaker 5: his greens. He hits seventy out a one to forty
Speaker 5: four inside twenty feet, which is just an insane stat.
Speaker 2: That is absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and so we also note that he's better on
Speaker 5: Bermuda greens, which we have here this week, and in
Speaker 5: the last couple of times he's been able to have
Speaker 5: just average putting rounde putting tournaments where he's you know,
Speaker 5: right around level or maybe one stroke above average. He's
Speaker 5: finished the top five of those weeks he can do that.
Speaker 5: He can you know, rely on his approach game, he
Speaker 5: can you know, easily get top five or ten this week.
Speaker 4: It's kind of crazy how good he's hitting the ball.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, here's a createy stat that may blow
Speaker 5: your mind. So in his last five events he's played,
Speaker 5: he's gained over twenty two shots strokes gained approach.
Speaker 4: That's is he leading the tour and strokes gained approach
Speaker 4: Right now, I think.
Speaker 5: He's got to be pretty close to up there. I
Speaker 5: haven't looked exactly where he is in the standings. I
Speaker 5: was looking at the at the tournament by tournament things
Speaker 5: for the.
Speaker 4: Last five You know a guy who had a crazy
Speaker 4: like get under the radar good year last year was
Speaker 4: Sun Kang. It's seventy five hundred. You have any expectations
Speaker 4: for him this year?
Speaker 5: He's a guy that's I think just gonna pop off
Speaker 5: every once in a while, maybe somewhere like a sell
Speaker 5: Houston Open contend. But I don't see him as a
Speaker 5: guy that is going to be their weekend week out.
Speaker 5: When he's when he's off, he's off bad, and when
Speaker 5: he's on he's on really good. Kind of like how
Speaker 5: Seawa Kim was last year he'll played good three or
Speaker 5: four times and then not so good the other times.
Speaker 4: Okay, so then we kind of start to get down
Speaker 4: into the values and we got a guy you liked
Speaker 4: last week, Bo Hostler at seventy one hundred. Got a
Speaker 4: lot of younger guys down here. Who you pulling out
Speaker 4: of this group?
Speaker 1: So I thinks is another California guy? Correct?
Speaker 6: I believe so?
Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean I like him again, especially if
Speaker 5: you're looking on the betting side. He's three hundred and
Speaker 5: one again this week, which I'm kind of surprised in
Speaker 5: a weak feel, but he's another guy that can put
Speaker 5: up a lot of bird He's just seventy one hundred.
Speaker 1: Good for him.
Speaker 5: I also like another guy with California times is Brandon
Speaker 5: Hagy played golf at Camp.
Speaker 1: He's going to play well in easy courses.
Speaker 6: Yeah. He's scary long too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he can you know, kind of carry those bunkers.
Speaker 5: So if you look at like his birdie rate over
Speaker 5: those last five events, he's I think fourth in that.
Speaker 5: So his last five cuts that he's made, he's had
Speaker 5: twenty five more birdies total than the average player in
Speaker 5: those events, which is a crazy stat. So when he plays,
Speaker 5: makes a cut, he goes crazy in terms of number
Speaker 5: of birdies.
Speaker 3: Interesting.
Speaker 4: I think he lives in the offseason in Scottsdale, so
Speaker 4: accustomed to desert golf as well. Turns out Wesley Bryant's
Speaker 4: driver issues are are real.
Speaker 5: Polly, Yeah, I think I heard he's putting it on
Speaker 5: the shelf for a couple months into the Florida Swing,
Speaker 5: so he's going with three wood out here.
Speaker 6: So he's not very long to start, No, I.
Speaker 5: Mean, he may get away with it this week, but like,
Speaker 5: how are you going to do that if you played
Speaker 5: Tory Pines like Riviera, There's just no way.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Yeah, that's not gonna happen. A Tori once.
Speaker 1: Three with for second shots.
Speaker 4: That's it's it's not a recipe for success. And and
Speaker 4: mister Kyle Nathan, Yeah, right on. One of the crazy
Speaker 4: stories I read about is John Peterson. He's talking about
Speaker 4: giving up golf if he doesn't secure his card after
Speaker 4: this major medical.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so he's kind of, you know, come to the
Speaker 5: realization that he's getting up there in years. I think
Speaker 5: he's what in his mid to late twenties, not right,
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, somewhere around there. I mean he's been
Speaker 5: around for a while, and he had he had a
Speaker 5: couple of good years about three or four years ago.
Speaker 5: But I know he's had a lot of injuries the
Speaker 5: past two years. But sometimes these guys that kind of
Speaker 5: not necessarily give up but take a little bit of
Speaker 5: stress off themselves and pressure tend to perform really well.
Speaker 5: And we saw at the last the first two round
Speaker 5: last week at a Sony with Peterson.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he he won the NCAA Championship and the Jones
Speaker 4: Cup and the same year, which has like only been
Speaker 4: done by like I think three guys in history of golf.
Speaker 4: He's super talented. I mean, it's it's been he's quite
Speaker 4: outspoken and not I think he's very misunderstood, him and
Speaker 4: his buddy Grayson. But it's it's an interesting story to
Speaker 4: to watch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, one other guy down there I like is you
Speaker 5: might see Manick mcneiler this week.
Speaker 1: In the field. So what are your thoughts on him? Andy?
Speaker 4: I think he's really good. He hasn't had any great
Speaker 4: performances on tour yet in a lot of opportunities, he
Speaker 4: seems to be the guy that he'll make cuts, but
Speaker 4: then he finishes forty fifth. I mean obviously a boatload
Speaker 4: of talent. Was the number one player in the world
Speaker 4: as an amateur for a good stretch of time, but
Speaker 4: kind of regressed almost. He had a good senior year,
Speaker 4: but not like a great senior year, and he put
Speaker 4: a lot better golf when he was younger.
Speaker 6: So I'm kind of mixed on him.
Speaker 4: Obviously he's got a ton of hype, but I don't
Speaker 4: I don't buy it that much right now. I think
Speaker 4: if I were looking at young guys, i'd prefer some
Speaker 4: other guys on here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I kind of feel the same. I think he
Speaker 5: may make the cut this week, but I don't think
Speaker 5: he's going to do much better than that.
Speaker 4: It's just it's pretty high price for him at you know,
Speaker 4: seven thousand, was he seventy one hundred.
Speaker 1: Somewhere?
Speaker 5: I think in the high I thought he was in
Speaker 5: the high six is maybe about sixty.
Speaker 6: Sixty nine hundred.
Speaker 4: So I just like some other guys in that area,
Speaker 4: like you know, Sam Ryder, I'd prefer he made the
Speaker 4: cut last week.
Speaker 6: He didn't.
Speaker 4: He didn't play great, but like another opportunity where ball
Speaker 4: strikings at a premium. He's great ball striker. I think,
Speaker 4: you know, you look at some other guys too. In
Speaker 4: this area. You've got Harold Varner. I don't know how
Speaker 4: you feel about him him, but not a big fan.
Speaker 5: I'd rather go with somebody like Taylor Gooch who played
Speaker 5: well last week at the Sony, who was sixty six hundred.
Speaker 4: I mean, like Aaron Wise is a guy at sixty
Speaker 4: eight hundred this price less than him and as as
Speaker 4: a pro, he's done a lot more to prove you
Speaker 4: know he can he can play at this level than
Speaker 4: than Maverick McNeely at this point exactly so.
Speaker 5: And then there's some players in this field here that
Speaker 5: are kind of a surprise that you're thinking, how are
Speaker 5: they even in this event? So if I find to
Speaker 5: give you these guys, who would you, guys choose between
Speaker 5: John Daly, Corey Paven, Mark Brooks, Mike Weir, Jason Gore,
Speaker 5: Hunter Mayhon If he had to choose one player to
Speaker 5: do the best this week, who would it be.
Speaker 6: I'm going with Hunter Mayhon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say hunter Man too.
Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna put those six guys in a
Speaker 5: DraftKings lineup and just see how it does. You know,
Speaker 5: it's it's the aultraconateurian lineup Randy, So.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would I don't think it's going to do
Speaker 4: very well. You know, one guy I really like his
Speaker 4: Nate Lashley. He like dominated the Latin American Tour two
Speaker 4: years ago. I think he won four times. He's survived
Speaker 4: the web, he got up through the web in the
Speaker 4: in the twenty five, and he made the cut last week.
Speaker 4: I think he's a guy that could do really well
Speaker 4: here just in terms of like a rookie for the
Speaker 4: whole year. He's an older guy, but like he's he
Speaker 4: can play, and he's shown he can dominate at at
Speaker 4: you know, the professional level.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And that's the thing is like some of the guys
Speaker 5: that have come from some of the smaller tours, the
Speaker 5: Web dot Com Tour, I think tend to play well
Speaker 5: at this course because they realize they have to make
Speaker 5: a lot of birdies. And that's what you kind of
Speaker 5: have to do on the web dot com you have
Speaker 5: to get the twenty plus under every week, it seems.
Speaker 4: You know a guy that played really well that's puzzling
Speaker 4: to me is Dominic Bozelli. He played here, you know,
Speaker 4: he top five last year, but like I mean, he
Speaker 4: missed so many cuts, but he had a couple top
Speaker 4: five finishes. Is he kind of in this like do
Speaker 4: not touch list?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wouldn't be touching him this week. When when
Speaker 5: he plays well, it's mostly because of the short game.
Speaker 5: I think he gained five shots on the green here
Speaker 5: last year putting, so I contributed more to variance than
Speaker 5: anything for a guy to put. It's hard to pen
Speaker 5: for a guy to put that good for a whole week.
Speaker 2: Who Nick Watney pretty cheap California kid.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he's been a little bit of a
Speaker 5: of a slump over the past year, but at that price,
Speaker 5: I mean I could definitely see taking him over some
Speaker 5: of the some of the guys that haven't necessarily proven themselves.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's kind of an uninspiring, uh six thousand
Speaker 4: group here.
Speaker 6: I saw that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we craft missed the cut last week despite leading
Speaker 4: the field and shots gained on the greens.
Speaker 5: Yeah, god, yeah, it was it was. It was what
Speaker 5: we're saying, not not pretty at that point. So I
Speaker 5: think I think he gained four point two shots on
Speaker 5: the greens in the first in the first two rounds,
Speaker 5: and I think he was like minus five t degreen
Speaker 5: or something like that.
Speaker 3: He did not get the wall wall Why is Pevin
Speaker 3: in this field? Out of curiosity? I didn't even know
Speaker 3: he still played competitively.
Speaker 2: To be honest, I'm.
Speaker 1: Not sure why he's in here.
Speaker 5: I mean, he must have come in as obviously as
Speaker 5: a sponsor's exemption, I would think. But maybe there's some
Speaker 5: type of deal with with with some career builder. Possibly, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm not really sure.
Speaker 3: Here's a good question about. Speaking of career building, Philip
Speaker 3: Johnson wanted to know where does the Career Builder rank
Speaker 3: as far as best tournaments for newer players to build
Speaker 3: their careers.
Speaker 4: Judging by how many people are in this field, it
Speaker 4: would be a very good one. I feel like this
Speaker 4: tournament I always watch it because it's like football winds
Speaker 4: down and you catch the end of the Career Builder
Speaker 4: as part of it. Obviously I kind of flipped between
Speaker 4: it back and forth, but like this weekend is like
Speaker 4: the best football weekend of all.
Speaker 3: Right, Well, we just went over a lot of names
Speaker 3: of you know, you got your Aaron Wise and Denny
Speaker 3: McCarthy's and you know, even if you go all the
Speaker 3: way to the top too, Brian Harmon, even you know,
Speaker 3: like this is a this is a good week for
Speaker 3: a lot of guys to win.
Speaker 2: Grayson Murray, there's just I think it's a great week.
Speaker 2: It's a good field.
Speaker 3: I'd say it ranks pretty high up there because it's winnable,
Speaker 3: but also you know it's it's strong field.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you get you got all the big name players
Speaker 4: getting crooked with big oil over there and Abu Dhabi.
Speaker 3: All right, here's a question. Speaking of three course tournaments.
Speaker 3: I really like Adam Sarson. He wanted to know overrated
Speaker 3: underrated multi course.
Speaker 4: Yes, I would say that they are overrated. I'd prefer
Speaker 4: if the tour would just focus on getting one good
Speaker 4: course a week, which seems to be very difficult.
Speaker 6: So yeah, I mean the.
Speaker 1: Same boat as that.
Speaker 5: I think I'd much rather have one course per event,
Speaker 5: especially when they break it down and start doing like
Speaker 5: the AT and T Pebble Beach pro am to where
Speaker 5: you're not even seeing any of the shots from from
Speaker 5: any of the pros for the first couple of rounds.
Speaker 5: It seems too I'm going to go.
Speaker 2: The other way.
Speaker 3: I'm going to say underrated to watch, because I mean
Speaker 3: it's in theory you should be able to see more shots.
Speaker 2: You know, coverage would allow you to do.
Speaker 3: So, and as a fan, you know, give me all
Speaker 3: the courses. You know, have it on ten courses. I
Speaker 3: think the players, if you ask them, they probably hate
Speaker 3: it because you know it's double the amount of homework
Speaker 3: or triple in this case, and you know, like you
Speaker 3: can have a day where you know you don't want
Speaker 3: to play the hard course on a day where it's
Speaker 3: blowing forty. So I'm going to say underrated, but not
Speaker 3: as not from a playing standpoint, more.
Speaker 2: As a fan.
Speaker 4: I just started cracking up because I read Will Knight's question,
Speaker 4: which is which spot's exemption makes the most double bogies
Speaker 4: this week? We're Mayhan or Daily.
Speaker 3: I think you gotta go Daily for his propensity to
Speaker 3: sling it around the map.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go Daily, Although in reality, if you had
Speaker 5: to pick one of those guys to make the cut,
Speaker 5: I probably picked Daily.
Speaker 2: Right, agreed, totally.
Speaker 1: I mean, Mike, we're will be.
Speaker 5: Playing some Skins game, probably back in Arizona come Saturday, come,
Speaker 5: come Sunday.
Speaker 1: Probably so.
Speaker 4: Weird had like a top fifteen finish the last time
Speaker 4: he started, so I know.
Speaker 3: Everyone was dragging him, and I remember noticing that he
Speaker 3: played pretty solid that day.
Speaker 2: This is kind of related to the DraftKings, PAULI for you.
Speaker 3: How much do you how much favor do you give
Speaker 3: SoCal guys playing in SoCal events?
Speaker 2: That's from Shook Lopez.
Speaker 5: I'll put a little bit of favoritism towards him, but
Speaker 5: I won't do a ton of I'd much try to
Speaker 5: look at like course history. But I mean we mentioned
Speaker 5: some guys that are local help a little bit, like
Speaker 5: kind of like you know, the Brandon Hag is something
Speaker 5: that from guys in California, but I wouldn't focus a
Speaker 5: ton on it.
Speaker 3: Jordan, on the same Southern California golf course talk wants
Speaker 3: to know or overrated, underrated Tory Pines and Southern cal
Speaker 3: golf courses in general. I can start. I think Tory
Speaker 3: Pines is overrated. I I'm not a huge fan of it.
Speaker 3: I think that with the property they have there, it's
Speaker 3: very uninspiring.
Speaker 2: It's hard.
Speaker 3: I think that you know, you have to be playing
Speaker 3: well to play well there, There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: But there's to.
Speaker 3: Me, there's a lot better golf courses on the ocean
Speaker 3: that you know, no one's ever heard of than Tory
Speaker 3: Pines and Southern Call in general. Is is good. I
Speaker 3: don't know if it's great, but it's it's definitely good.
Speaker 3: What do you think, Andy, you spend a lot of
Speaker 3: time there.
Speaker 4: I think it's really good with the best golf courses.
Speaker 4: But then there's a pretty sharp fallof and anyone that's
Speaker 4: been out spent time in southern California knows it's a
Speaker 4: nightmare to get around. So that makes golfing in Southern
Speaker 4: California all the more difficult. So I would say that
Speaker 4: golf in Southern California is overrated because it's there's a
Speaker 4: lot of it. But I the weather's great, but I
Speaker 4: just don't think that. I think Palm Springs is like
Speaker 4: it's just awful, to be honest.
Speaker 2: I've played a little bit. I've played PGA West. It's
Speaker 2: not that. I mean, it's fine. I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't it's it's fine. I don't think it's Indian
Speaker 3: Wells is kind of good. I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't mind the golf out there.
Speaker 4: If you're into water fountains and fake water features and
Speaker 4: manufactured you know, it is the desert. It shouldn't be
Speaker 4: so lush and green, and it's everything places so soft there.
Speaker 4: It's just it's just not my cup of tea.
Speaker 2: So right, here's the one.
Speaker 3: As we keep getting into some of these questions, how
Speaker 3: about overrated underrated labor disputes.
Speaker 4: Ah, I think they're actually they might be underrated as
Speaker 4: they have a massive effect on watching golf, Like, you know,
Speaker 4: you think about the effect that it has on like
Speaker 4: the sponsors, like Sony cannot be happy at all.
Speaker 3: No, I was, I'm with you, it's underrated because I
Speaker 3: was surprised, like I was thinking during the coverage, I'm like, wow,
Speaker 3: good for these guys. They actually made like an imprint
Speaker 3: here because we're watching the blimp.
Speaker 2: I think it's amazing.
Speaker 5: You're watching them blimp, try to, you know, go to
Speaker 5: the side so you don't have a palm tree in
Speaker 5: the way of Patton because I are hitting his t
Speaker 5: shot in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: So okay, how.
Speaker 3: About overrided underrated du Baal's fifty nine, which came at
Speaker 3: this tournament.
Speaker 4: Obviously it was a fifty nine to win, so I
Speaker 4: think it's drastically underrated.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say drastica underrated. And the way he
Speaker 5: did it wasn't by making sixty foot potts. It was
Speaker 5: by literally sticking every single iron shot he hit for
Speaker 5: eighteen old.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it could be rated enough. I
Speaker 3: think it's way underrated. He eagled eighteen to shoot fifty
Speaker 3: nine to win the tournament, and you know, his career
Speaker 3: in general, I think is so underrated. He was like
Speaker 3: the one guy that could really challenge Tiger. And granted,
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, Tiger always won those battles in
Speaker 3: the end, but if you know, they always say, like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, Thomas Bjorn would have like three majors
Speaker 3: if not for Tiger, but.
Speaker 2: You never, I mean, Duval could have six, you know.
Speaker 3: I know he was a little short on the major tally,
Speaker 3: but his career was really underrated, as.
Speaker 2: Was the fifty nine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Deval is the quick decline is what ruins Duval's career, right, totally.
Speaker 3: He's pretty good on TV too, like he If you
Speaker 3: would ask me in two thousand and two if David
Speaker 3: Duval would have been good on TV, I would have said,
Speaker 3: you know, absolutely zero percent chance.
Speaker 2: But he's real good. Actually I think I like him.
Speaker 4: So here's a question regarding you know, kind of TV
Speaker 4: and tournaments, Barry w better for a tournament bunch of
Speaker 4: leader board with smaller name players like last week at
Speaker 4: Sony or a big name runaway win like Gappaloua.
Speaker 2: For me, there's no doubt I'd rather watch a tighter
Speaker 2: golf tournament I I would have.
Speaker 3: I'd like to see the you know, it's hard to
Speaker 3: compare ratings, you know, from one event to the next
Speaker 3: because the fields are different, they're on different weekends. But
Speaker 3: I can't imagine people like seeing eight shot wins. You know,
Speaker 3: if you go back to the ratings when Rory won
Speaker 3: that Congressional or you know, any any kind of blowout win,
Speaker 3: I can't imagine they're too good. I'd rather have eight
Speaker 3: guys with a chance on the back nine, even if
Speaker 3: I've only heard of four of them, then see Justin
Speaker 3: Thomas have a ten shot lead.
Speaker 5: Personally, yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat as
Speaker 5: Kyle there. I'd much other have the stacked leader board.
Speaker 5: But I can get from like a sponsors viewpoint to
Speaker 5: where they'd rather have, you know, the big name player
Speaker 5: running away with it as opposed to a bunch of
Speaker 5: no names at the top.
Speaker 4: I love what it's close because you get to see
Speaker 4: how guys perform under pressure, and a lot of times
Speaker 4: how younger or little known guys like Viy for like
Speaker 4: a career changing event, a life changing event like we
Speaker 4: saw Tom Hogy make that double bogie at Sony and
Speaker 4: if he was leading by seven shots, it wouldn't have mattered.
Speaker 6: Obviously.
Speaker 4: I don't think Tom Hogy would be leading by seven shots.
Speaker 4: I was surprised. I didn't really know much about Tom
Speaker 4: Hogy and and I thought he was like a forty
Speaker 4: five year old who had been kicking it around the
Speaker 4: mini tours for a while.
Speaker 6: He's only twenty eight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of crazy.
Speaker 4: He's just got a name that screams forty five year old.
Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't play with Tiger at the final
Speaker 1: round of what was.
Speaker 5: In the Carolina's a couple of years ago, and Tiger came back.
Speaker 1: Uh, they get Greensborough. Ye had the event right before
Speaker 1: the PGA. I think he was a Tiger in the
Speaker 1: fun around there.
Speaker 2: Here's a last time Tiger was in contention.
Speaker 4: Here's a question for you, Polly, overrated or underrated hot putters?
Speaker 1: I would say underrated.
Speaker 5: So I think when they in order to really win
Speaker 5: on tour a lot, I think you have to have
Speaker 5: a skill set that just dominates the competition. And if
Speaker 5: you can't hit the ball three hundred and seventy yards
Speaker 5: on a string like DJ. You're gonna have to catch
Speaker 5: a hot putter to win for a week. And that's
Speaker 5: kind of what Brian Harmon did the first two rounds
Speaker 5: of past week, is he was making everything and then
Speaker 5: he got a cold part of the last two days
Speaker 5: and kind of just went into neutral.
Speaker 4: Here's another one for you, Andrew Allen, in a season
Speaker 4: long fantasy game, who's a better Sea player? Harold Varner
Speaker 4: or Ryan Armer? I think I know what the answer
Speaker 4: to this.
Speaker 1: Oh that that was a toss up.
Speaker 5: I mean, how can you give you that one? It's
Speaker 5: it's definitely gonna be yeah, Ryan Armor there.
Speaker 4: So we just wanted to give Andrews his answer if
Speaker 4: he hadn't picked it up earlier.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I got Sea? What you got Ryan Armor?
Speaker 1: Just here we'll just remember that.
Speaker 3: So, speaking of Bertie's and ratings over eight and underrated
Speaker 3: Bertie Fest tournaments.
Speaker 5: I think if it's like a normal event for a week,
Speaker 5: I think Bertie Fests are good. If you're talking like
Speaker 5: a major, I'd rather have it where you know, the
Speaker 5: score is like four to eight, four to under par
Speaker 5: or somewhere.
Speaker 1: In that range.
Speaker 4: So I think about this a little differently, Like, I
Speaker 4: have no problem if the birdie fests are happening, if
Speaker 4: the golf course is good, if it's like thoughtful and like,
Speaker 4: you know, these guys are playing really well. I think
Speaker 4: like what happens at really good golf courses is that
Speaker 4: like a few guys will really separate themselves. The best
Speaker 4: players like their separation. When there's like thirty guys within
Speaker 4: four shots at twenty under, that's not good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna I like carnage.
Speaker 3: I want to see like last year's web dot Com
Speaker 3: and the Bahamas, where people are.
Speaker 2: Just ejecting all over the place.
Speaker 3: For for some reason, I find that entertaining, Probably because
Speaker 3: I know how it feels to go triple double, but
Speaker 3: I just I'm entertained by that for some reason, more
Speaker 3: than watching someone birdie six out of seven and b
Speaker 3: three back.
Speaker 4: That golf course is ejecting people again this year in
Speaker 4: better conditions.
Speaker 2: Norman rinsing his T shot was amazing. That was great.
Speaker 4: It's an ultimate symbol for Greg Norman resort courses.
Speaker 6: Him rinsing a T shot.
Speaker 3: That should be the gift on the on the GPS
Speaker 3: on the carts. Whenever you played Greg Norman golf course,
Speaker 3: I'm just clumb twirling it right in the water.
Speaker 6: And the shark experience carts.
Speaker 2: That is true, the shark experience. It's cold having an iPad.
Speaker 6: Yes, your iPhone can do all of this.
Speaker 3: There was a good question from Hank here, let me
Speaker 3: find it. It's actually it was a cool idea.
Speaker 4: Oh was it the one about the Tournament of Champions.
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 3: Here it is an idea for Kapolua. Why not include
Speaker 3: all the winners of web events in the field rewards.
Speaker 3: The win gives them the chance to earn valuable FedEx
Speaker 3: and World ranking points that they otherwise would not get,
Speaker 3: as sure as they don't get buried on the priority list.
Speaker 2: I mean, I like that idea.
Speaker 3: I think that event needs some something to begin with.
Speaker 3: I was kind of bored by it, to be honest.
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously DJ winning by a lot had something
Speaker 3: to do with that, but I think that it would
Speaker 3: be great to have something different about that event.
Speaker 2: And that seems like, you know, as plausible as anything.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it'd be a great opportunity for those
Speaker 4: guys to build their hashtag brand, you know, also, so
Speaker 4: you know, it also would help the tour with the
Speaker 4: marketability of some of their lower tier players. Like I
Speaker 4: think that's one of the things they struggle with, is
Speaker 4: like people only know like ten golfers, and how do
Speaker 4: you get people acquainted with more golfers sooner? And that's
Speaker 4: a great opportunity. I feel like that's a very well
Speaker 4: watched event despite it being kind of boring.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think it's because it's in the primetime
Speaker 5: TV segment right, so people able to watch it for
Speaker 5: four or five hours at night, especially on weekdays, instead
Speaker 5: of having the coverage you know, from the twelve to
Speaker 5: five or two to five window that it normally is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they need to do something with it.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but they have such
Speaker 3: a good opportunity there to reach a lot of people.
Speaker 6: So who you guys picking this week one and done League?
Speaker 3: I'm going to go Brian Harmon because I think that
Speaker 3: everything Polly said made sense.
Speaker 2: He's real hot and.
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm going to use him in a major,
