He is the expensive guy that I 15 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 2: am going to be paying for. 16 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: Surprise, surprise, Peter Jennings loves John Rahm. 17 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: Dec to chat about last week, which was a historic 18 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: performance by Dustin Johnson. 19 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: Well, I thought I was gonna steal your thunder. I 20 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: thought I was gonna take your guy. I thought maybe 21 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: you'd go with your other guy, Colin Morcow, and I'd 22 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: be able to have John Rahm table scraps for this 23 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: week's podcast. Instead, we're just gonna both be on the 24 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: same guy and how could that ever go wrong? So yes, 25 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: I will be also talking a lot of John Rahm 26 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: over the next half hour. So we will get into 27 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: everything BMW Championship this week, looking at the course, looking 28 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: at the field, looking at which players might be a 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: little more motivated than some other guys going into the 30 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: second of three FedEx Cup playoff events. But first, let's 31 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: go back and talk about what was just an unbelievable 32 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: performance by Dustin Johnson this past week. I know, Peter, 33 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: that you and I are paid to explain these things. 34 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: We're paid to explain the hows and the whys of 35 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson shooting thirty under winning by eleven, coming back 36 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: from shooting scores of eighty two of them at the 37 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: Memorial Tournament granted at a much harder golf course Mirfield Village, 38 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: about five weeks earlier. But the fact that he's gone 39 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: from there to challenging for a major championship and not 40 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: winning after having the fifty four a lead, to just 41 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 1: absolutely burying the field at TBC Boston, I'm not sure 42 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: I have an explanation for DJ's mentality other than if 43 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: there's ever been a golfer built for bouncing back after 44 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: not winning a major championship, that golfer is Dustin Johnson. 45 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think Dustin's mentality and just the 46 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: way he goes about things. You know, he is more 47 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: capable than other golfers where the losses or not performing 48 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: you know, in a major on Sunday, it's gonna stay 49 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: with him. I think Dustin just shakes it off and 50 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: moves forward. And the big thing that he talked about 51 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 2: is evident with where his golf game is now, is 52 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: that he found that buttercut again. I mean, he knows 53 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: the balls going left to right when he does that 54 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 2: cut swing, and he's just complete the in control of 55 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: his golf ball. You tweeted out he made more eagles 56 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 2: than Bogie's. That seems like a good recipe to win 57 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 2: golf tournaments. And yeah, going back to what Brooks Koepka said, 58 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 2: I mean, how stupid does he look? 59 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. 60 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 2: He's done more media and I do appreciate that he's candid, 61 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 2: but taking shots. Dustin Johnson, a Hall of Fame golfer, 62 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 2: number one golfer in the world, now, who just lapped. 63 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: The field looks pretty bad at this point in time, 64 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: so DJ big shout out to him. It's amazing. Like 65 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: we're at a point in golf, like, who do you 66 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: think Jason has the best next year? From this point 67 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: till where we are in August and twenty twenty one, 68 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: who do you think has the best performance so over 69 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,119 Speaker 2: that next year? 70 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: I can answer it with probably twelve different answers and 71 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: still not be right. I will go with Justin Thomas. 72 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: He's got a high ceiling and probably has a higher 73 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: floor than a lot of other guys. But I don't know, 74 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: that's a great question. I'm not sure I have a 75 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: terrific answer for it. That's a tough one for me. 76 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: What do you think? 77 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would probably say Justin Thomas too. I'm tempted 78 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: to say Rom and I'm printed to say Calm Morikawa. 79 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: You know, I say all those things, and I recognize 80 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: I have recncy bias and Rory Keyes would be that guy, 81 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: and you know, i'd say DJ for sure. But I 82 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: feel like that's a chuck answer. And the reason I 83 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: asked and you just gave, you know, a lot of explanation, 84 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: and why it's so hard to have a hot take about. 85 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: Is that golfson a great place. We have ten fifteen 86 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 2: guys that are playing just absolutely elite golf. I mean 87 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 2: Daniel Berger could be that guy based on how he's 88 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 2: played after the COVID swing. So golfs in a great place. 89 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,559 Speaker 2: Cetex playoffs is going to be really fun to watch 90 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,679 Speaker 2: down the stretch. And then we have the US Open 91 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: and the Masters here in November. There's tons of big 92 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: golf terms coming up, and there's so many league guys, 93 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: which is making it so much fun. 94 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: It's so much fun. I mean, I'm telling you I 95 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: used to do podcasts and radio interviews ten fifteen years ago, 96 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: and the host would always ask me, how come no 97 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: one can challenge Tiger Woods? How come no one can 98 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: step up and challenge him to be the best player 99 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: in the world. And now, I mean, it's not really 100 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: about Tiger anymore. Obviously he's still capable of on any 101 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: given week playing solid golf, but it's just the fact 102 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: that this is changing hands so often. I mean, quite frankly, 103 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: the best quote unquote player on any basis is the 104 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: guy who just won the day before. I mean, we 105 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: can sit here and discuss for a long time, and 106 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: the best discussions, the best debates are the ones that 107 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: don't really have a right or wrong answer. We can 108 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: sit here and debate and discuss which player is the 109 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: best in the world right now, But quite frankly, it's 110 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: JT wins. Well, then it's him, and then Rom wins. Well, 111 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: maybe it's Rom mor Cowell wins, and more Cowen might 112 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: be it. So based on all that, Peter, I have 113 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: got three questions I want to get to you coming 114 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: off the Northern Trust this past week, and since you 115 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: mentioned Keepka, I will get to that one first. Because 116 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: I was on Serious XMPGA Tour Radio earlier today. We're 117 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: taping this on Monday afternoon. Monday morning, I was on 118 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: the Starter with my buddy Taylor Zarzer, and he brought 119 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: up a great question and another one that I can't 120 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: really find an answer to, although I will try. Which 121 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: players career as of right now? Would you rather have 122 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson with twenty two career wins and one major 123 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: or Brooks Koepka, who of course has four major championships. 124 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're both their careers ended today. I would take 125 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: Dustin Johnson, and I recognize I'm biased against Brooks. But 126 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: you know, Dustin has a Hall of Fame career, and 127 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: brook probably does too, even though he doesn't have as 128 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 2: many wins. But I mean DJ easily can have more majors. 129 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 2: He's contended so much, he's won so much money, and 130 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: he's just been at the top of the game for 131 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 2: a longer stretch of time. And I know a lot 132 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 2: of people measure, you know, success based on majors, but 133 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: I think that there's something to winning PGA Tour events 134 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 2: as well, and just the sustained dominance that DJ has had, 135 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 2: I think he's had a better career. You go to 136 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: you know, Shadow Creek or other golf courses, the most 137 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 2: common name that you'll see for the course record is 138 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: Dustin Johnson. 139 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure which thing makes me feel older right now, 140 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: the fact that Phil Mickelson is making his PGA Tour 141 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,239 Speaker 1: Champion debut this week or the fact that Dustin Johnson 142 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: is somehow thirty six years old. I mean sounds weird 143 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: coming off the week that he just had. But Dustin 144 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: Johnson is essentially on the back nine of his career 145 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: right now, which if you're gonna be on the back 146 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: nine of your career and shoot thirty under and win 147 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: by eleven. I guess that's a good thing. So, yeah, 148 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: I tend to agree with you in this conversation. I 149 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: think that if there's any sort of debate here, it 150 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: comes from the fact that players most often talk about 151 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: what the major championships mean to them, because publicly, that's 152 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: sort of what we want to hear as a player saying, hey, 153 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: these events are important to me. They mean the most. 154 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: I want to win them, and so that's where my 155 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: head is at. It's very very rare, if ever, where 156 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: a player comes out and says, you know, I've won 157 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: more money than so and so and so I've been 158 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: more successful or money really matters to me. But look, 159 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: we all work. We gauge our success in whatever field 160 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: we're in at some point in some part based on 161 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: how much money we've made, and so especially in a 162 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: game like golf, where you've got to perform to make 163 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: that money. And so players won't come out and say, hey, 164 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: it's all about the money for me. But the fact 165 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: that Dustin Johnson has earned it it's close to seventy 166 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: million dollars I believe now in his career. I think 167 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: that shows just what kind of longevity and consistent success 168 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: that he has has had. So that was the first 169 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: question I had for you. The second question, and I 170 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: really wanted to get your take on this because quite frankly, 171 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: I don't know and I didn't have an answer, and 172 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you because you would have an answer. 173 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: But going into the final round, Dustin Johnson had a 174 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: five shot lead. It's amazing they extended a five shot 175 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: lead to an eleven shot victory at the end of it. 176 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: But a five shot lead for a world class player 177 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: going into the final round when he is obviously firing 178 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: on all cylinders. He was minus five sixty In the books, 179 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: is there ever a point, Peter, where you had bet 180 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: on a guy where it looks like a sure thing? 181 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: Would you bet on a player at five with the 182 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: five shot lead going into the final round. 183 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 2: So I actually passed on betting, and I did look 184 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 2: at it. I had the price really similar shilling, you know, 185 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 2: minus I sixty. I thought there was just a little 186 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 2: too much use there, you know, I definitely think he 187 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 2: was over minus five hundred. Was with some buddies and 188 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 2: we were trying to bet amongst ourselves to figure out 189 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: the right price, and we all kind of had the 190 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 2: consensus that that was right, and you look at some models, 191 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 2: that's kind of where DJ should have been priced. We 192 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 2: talked a little bit about this, you know, after the fact, 193 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 2: but I do think the type of player that you'd 194 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 2: want to bet there would be, you know, Scotti Scheffler 195 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 2: was living my five strokes or even better like Harris 196 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: English or you know, all these guys are good, but 197 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: Alex Norny leading by five strokes with someone like DJ 198 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 2: or JT behind them, that's normally where you can actually 199 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 2: get value from the books because the books normally have 200 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 2: more of a liability towards the top end stars, and 201 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 2: they're going to give the top end stars more inequity 202 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 2: when they are five strokes are more behind, and oftentimes 203 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 2: you can find value. I remember Chez was leading by 204 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: like six or seven strokes going into a round, and 205 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 2: I did bet that at a similar price and maybe 206 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: even shorter odds. And Chez is actually a great guy 207 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 2: to bet in those situations because he's such a consistent golfer. 208 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 2: So you know, it depends, it's dependent on the type 209 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 2: of golfer. But yeah, going into Sunday, it's Sir, felt 210 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 2: like a sure thing that DJ was going to win, 211 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 2: and don't want to just have a results oriented bias, 212 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: But yeah, he closed the door and minus five sixty 213 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 2: seems like a slam dunk at this point. So I 214 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 2: did something to look at and I do actually think 215 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 2: there's value. I think you should be looking round around. 216 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 2: I find that there's more value in outright bets after 217 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 2: rounds than pre tournament. So if you're interested in those 218 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 2: type of bets, look at them. And if we do 219 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: see a situation where you know, a non elite golfer 220 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: is winning by five or more strokes, I oftentimes think 221 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 2: there's value in taking that golfer to win after round three. 222 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: My last of these three questions I want to ask 223 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: you is a little more fun. I put this on 224 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: Twitter Sunday evening when the when the tournament went into 225 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: a delay of really unfortunate delay because we all knew 226 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: what the conclusion was going to be. But I asked 227 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: people on Twitter after Dustin Johnson had hit his t 228 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: shot on seventeen into the rough and was up nine 229 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: with the rest of seventeen left to play from the 230 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: rough and then a par five closing hole, I asked 231 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: social media, would you be able to take over for 232 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson at this point and still win the golf 233 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: tournament for him and Peter. I was shocked by the 234 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: amount of people who admitted, no way, I would absolutely 235 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: lose this thing for him. I would choke it away. 236 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if people are just realistic about their 237 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: own games, and there are a lot of just bad 238 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: golfers out there who are watching. I don't know if 239 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: people unnecessarily think that PGA Tour courses are set up 240 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 1: to such a diabolical to mention that, you know, they 241 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: absolutely couldn't make a bogie or a double bogie. You know, 242 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: some people said, hey, I just could go hit wedge 243 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: on every shot. By the way, I'm eighteen at TA 244 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: NBC Boston. If you're hitting wedge off the tee, you're 245 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to hit another wedge for a while. 246 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: So I don't know that that strategy would necessarily work 247 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: for you out there. But I mean, you know my game, 248 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: we have played together. I'm a five handicap. I'm pretty 249 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: sure that I could take a nine shot lead with 250 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: a hole and a half to play and have a 251 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: few shots to spare by the end of that thing. 252 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: You feel pretty confident that you could take over for 253 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: DJ at that point and still would have had the 254 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: trophy for him. 255 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I am ninety nine point nine 256 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 2: nine percent. I would risk the majority of my net 257 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 2: worth on you being able to close the door of it. 258 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 2: I have a ton of faith You're consistent, and historically, 259 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 2: Mike golf game is pretty consistent. I've gone through some 260 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: stretches of time where the word has been a huge problem, 261 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 2: including the back nine with Tigers, so that that's my 262 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: only pause. But you know, I haven't shot above ninety 263 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 2: in a long time, and you know, making double bogies. 264 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: Yet it's a tough course, and you know the one 265 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 2: shot be critical would be the approach to the green 266 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 2: on eighteen. You have to get the ball in the air. 267 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 2: But where I think some people might struggle is with 268 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: the short game stuff. I'm very confident I can three 269 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 2: putt almost any scenario, and yeah I would. I would 270 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: be very confident that I could close the door. Although 271 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 2: you know you're making a three stroke lead or something 272 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 2: like that. Four stroke lead. Now we're in big trouble 273 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 2: because you know you have to hold off someone who's 274 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 2: probably making thirty on eighteen and you know, you have 275 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 2: to make bogies. That's a lot worse than being able 276 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 2: to make doubles and triples. So I feel confident, very 277 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 2: confident in you, and normally people aren't honest on Twitter. 278 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 2: I'm impressed that people are saying that they couldn't close 279 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 2: the door, that there's some honesty, because if you can't 280 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 2: get the ball airborne, you definitely can't close the deal. 281 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: I was really pete. I actually think more people could 282 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: get it done than gave themselves credit for. I think 283 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people out there were like, oh, I 284 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: don't know, man, there'd be a lot of pressure on me, 285 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: and you know, people watching me, and I don't know 286 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: if I could do it, I don't know. I just 287 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 1: I just don't think it would be quite as difficult 288 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: as I think a lot of people kind of imagine 289 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: it to me. You're right, we're not exactly talking to 290 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: Gusta National, We're not talking to masters at Stake. We're 291 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: not talking those kind of speedy greens, where yes, you 292 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: could in theory, if you're not a great guy, you 293 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: could five or six pt on those greens and lose 294 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: that lead in a hurry. I think TVC Boston's a 295 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: little easier, so at some point, maybe someday down the road, 296 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: we will be able to do something like that. I 297 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: would love to put the ball in the rough on 298 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: seventeen at TPC Boston where DJ's ball was and say, okay, 299 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: let's play from here and just see what we do 300 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: for the next whole and a half. I think that 301 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: would be kind of cool. So we're gonna talk oh 302 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: BMW Championship getting ready for the next FedEx Cup playoff event. 303 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: But first we are calling on all listeners of the 304 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: Action Network podcast to head to Apple Podcasts and give 305 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: us a five star rating and write a quick review. 306 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: It only takes about thirty seconds to do, and we 307 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: would really appreciate it. Not sure how to do it well. 308 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: If you're listening right now on an iPhone, go to 309 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts, tap the Action Network podcast tile, scroll all 310 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: the way down the episode's list, and there at the 311 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: bottom you'll see ratings and reviews. Rate us, review us, 312 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: please be nice as always. So let's get to the 313 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: BMW and Olympia Fields pet. I think a lot of 314 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: people are going to think of Olympia Fields, which has 315 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: not hosted a men's professional tournament other than the two 316 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: thousand and three US Open in the past forty years, 317 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: so there's not a whole lot to go on. Did 318 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: have the twenty fifteen US Amateur, does have an annual 319 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: collegiate event, did have the twenty seventeen Women's PGA Championship, 320 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: but had a men's professional PGA Tour sanctioned event other 321 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: than the three US Open in four decades, And so 322 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are going to using 323 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: the transitive property. Say Jim Furorick won the three US 324 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: Open at Olympia Fields. Jim Furorick is a straight but 325 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: short hitter. Therefore straight but short hitters can succeed at 326 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: Olympia Fields. I'm not so sure I'm buying that this 327 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: is a big ballpark seventy three sixty six yards. I 328 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: believe only a par seventy You're gonna have to move 329 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: it out there. I think not only is hitting driver 330 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: a long way off the tee going to be very important, 331 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: but I think those long and mid irons into the 332 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: greens are going to be even more important this week. Pete, 333 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: first of all, what do you think about the course? 334 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: What have you heard and what are you looking at? 335 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: This week. 336 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've only seen the yard age and I went 337 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 2: to the PGA toiletge side pole by hole. Looks like 338 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 2: some really long par threes and some longer part four. 339 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 2: The Jim Furickx and you know, the Chez Revis of 340 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 2: the world are really greatly benefit from being in the 341 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: fairway a lot. But for just seeing it, I mean, 342 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 2: almost all the best players in the world just hit 343 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 2: it a long ways, and that's always an advantage, some 344 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 2: courses more so than others. But based on what I'm 345 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 2: seeing so far, you know, I'm going to be taking 346 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 2: guys that can move it a long ways, which you know, 347 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 2: we're down to the top seventy. Almost all these guys 348 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 2: have a lot of firepower. There are still some shorter 349 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 2: players in the field, but for the most part, you 350 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 2: look at the top end names, these guys have quite 351 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 2: a bit of ball speed off the tee. So I 352 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 2: think it's a course that you know, we don't have 353 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 2: as much historical date on which will make people look 354 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 2: for comps. You know, you look at par four scoring, 355 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 2: it's par seventy. So there's a variety of things that 356 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,239 Speaker 2: I think we'll be able to dig into. But at 357 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 2: first glance. I'm not going to be just saying, okay, 358 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 2: this is a short accuracy course which would favor, you know, 359 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 2: a specific type of player, and you know, maybe hurt 360 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 2: guys that are great with the driver. I think guys 361 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 2: who have distance off the tee, the guys who are 362 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 2: lead in total driving are still going to be an 363 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 2: advantage this week. 364 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: This feels to me, Peter, like a really difficult week now. 365 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: Not only is it a golf course that we've really 366 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: never seen these guys play before, but I can go 367 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: down the list and everybody in the top oh twenty 368 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: or so on the board this week as far as odds, 369 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: I either look at and say, well, that guy's kind 370 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: of riding the heater right now, or it's a guy 371 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: who's a little bit off his game, but because of that, 372 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of value on him. And so I 373 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: look at the number on say Rory McElroy, who's nineteen 374 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: to one pre tournament, and say, well, yeah, I don't 375 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 1: necessarily love Rory this week, but I kind of like 376 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: Rory at that number. It's a really good number for I. 377 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: Patrick Cantley missed the cut last week. I don't necessarily 378 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: like him after coming off of miss cut but at 379 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: thirty to one, Yeah, I kind of like him. I mean, 380 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: there's some depressed numbers. It feels like, Pete, there is 381 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: more recency bias in the board this week than we've 382 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: seen recently. This week it feels like, yeah, Daniel Berger 383 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: has lower odds than Rory McElroy, Scotti, Scheffler has lower 384 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: odds than Jason Day and Tiger Woods. Is there something 385 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: to that that, maybe more so than usual because we're 386 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: reaching the end of the season, or you know, just 387 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: because it seems like there's been some haves and have 388 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: nots over the last couple of weeks, with guys playing 389 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: either really well or really poorly or at least below average, 390 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: that there's more recency bias in these numbers. 391 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that's the opportunity. I think, you know, 392 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 2: you bank on a little our regression. Obviously current form 393 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 2: is important, but it does seem like the books in 394 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 2: the DFS pricing have really swung that direction. You mentioned 395 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 2: a couple of examples. Abraham answer coming off of misscut is, 396 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 2: you know, well below guys like Kevin Kissner and Harris English. 397 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 2: And you know you would have said that a month ago. 398 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 2: You would be shocked, and you can kind of do 399 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 2: that throughout the whole board. So and not that not 400 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 2: not even specifically answered, but there's a lot of really 401 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 2: really good players that have longer ad and yeah, I 402 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 2: think you have to go player by player and try 403 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 2: to decipher what's going on. I mean, I was super 404 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 2: heavy Rory last week. His TD green stats were still 405 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 2: really good coming into last week, and then just another 406 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 2: kind of stinker from Rory, and it's hard to figure 407 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 2: out what's going on there. You look at the nineteen 408 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 2: to one number of shorter odds and Burger and Sander, 409 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 2: who I have a ton of respect for. You know, 410 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: he's like the seventh or eighth guy down the list, 411 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 2: Like wow, that's a you know, really interesting value. But 412 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,239 Speaker 2: at the same time, the form is, you know, it's 413 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 2: another week of bad form where it's like, Okay, how 414 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 2: much do I want to wait that? Can? You just 415 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 2: kind of go throughout the list, and I think the 416 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 2: key is finding kind of some specific spots where you 417 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 2: think maybe there's too much recency bias on certain players 418 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 2: and where you can say, Okay, I think there's value 419 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: on this player. Yeah, his current form isn't great, but 420 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 2: it's because of putting, or it's because of this one 421 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: factor that hopefully you can improve upon, and there's value. 422 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 2: And last comment on this, we totally agree with you. 423 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 2: It's extremely tough. Seventy golfers this week and it's pretty 424 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 2: much the best players in the world. Who's going to 425 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 2: do better? John rom or Justin Thomas likes that's one 426 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 2: of the hardest things to figure out week the week. 427 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 2: So we have a lot of examples like that, and 428 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 2: I think there's probably more edge from a Gambley and 429 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: DFS perspective in the bigger field. But it should be 430 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 2: a lot of fun and it's great to see all 431 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 2: these elite players in one tournament. And I do think 432 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 2: that there's certain plays that I have a lot of 433 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 2: conviction on and and hopefully those hit this week. 434 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can tell you, Peter that I've already looked 435 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: at DFS. I've put in a couple of lineups of 436 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: guys who are riding heaters where you know, one of 437 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: them is Dustin Johnson and Russell Henley and Scotty Scheffler 438 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: and Daniel Berger and guys who are are really hitting 439 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: it very well right now. And I've got another one 440 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: where I've done already just early on. You know, it's 441 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: only been out for a couple hours so far in draftings. 442 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: But Bryson d Chambeau, Patrick can't Ley, Tony Final, Gary Woodland, 443 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: what do they all have in common? They're all coming 444 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: off a missed cut last week, and yet none of 445 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: them really hit the ball all that badly for the 446 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: two rounds that they played. So that makes it really 447 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: really difficult, but also means that we've got some options 448 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: out there, and we've got some ways we can find 449 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: a little bit of an edge and at least go 450 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: after some guys who might be a little bit different 451 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: than everybody else has in a seventy man field gidea, 452 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: let's bet horses for courses. 453 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll just go through a couple of names that 454 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 2: really stand out to me. You know, we mentioned genre 455 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 2: off the top, gen Ram should be right there at 456 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 2: DJ is a favorite. I know DJ just came up 457 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: and in saying week. But John rom has been so 458 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 2: consistent to have the one misscut during the COVID swing. 459 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 2: But last week was really impressive, including a very strong 460 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 2: Sunday round. Hit the ball grate out. The team was 461 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 2: actually pretty poor on approach initially and then found it 462 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 2: on Sunday. And John ram is a great approach player 463 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 2: that that dials in. I think he could play really, 464 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 2: really well and I really like John Ron quite a bit. 465 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: Not to interrupt you, but does that remind you sort 466 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,959 Speaker 1: of the final round of the Workday Charity Open. Now, 467 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: granted they're going to stay at the same course Miarfield 468 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: Village the very next week, but we're only what a 469 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: month and a half removed from John Rahm not really 470 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: having a great week the first three rounds of the 471 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: Workday shooting a sixty four on Sunday, ball striking numbers, 472 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: looking really good, and oh, by the way, seven days 473 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: later he was a Memorial Tournament champion. I feel like 474 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: it's very similar, very much a parallel to what it 475 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: was six weeks ago when he was coming off that 476 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: final round. 477 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 2: I feel the exact same way. I'm all about John 478 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 2: Rahm this week. I think he looks really, really enticing 479 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 2: and the markets do think he's a great guy. But 480 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 2: that's the guy I'm buying at the top of the board. 481 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 2: A couple of their names and we'll get into DFS. 482 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 2: Victor Hobland ball Striking Clinic played awesome on Sunday. His 483 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 2: chipping and putting is the one bugaboo, although he started 484 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 2: to putt it really well last week. But Victor Hobblin's 485 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 2: ball striking, I'm really really impressive. He didn't quite get 486 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 2: the same bumps that some of these other guys did. 487 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 2: I mean, I would take Victor Hoblin straight up over 488 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 2: Scotti Scheffler, and Victor Hobland is you know, forty five 489 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 2: fifty to one and Scheffler's thirty to one, So I 490 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 2: think that there's some strong value in a guy like him. 491 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,719 Speaker 2: And then towards the bottom of the board you mentioned 492 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 2: you know a couple of names. I mean Gary Woodland, 493 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 2: we could see some strong regression from him in a 494 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 2: positive way. And then Russell Henley. I mean we've talked 495 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 2: about him on this podcast a lot, and we've been 496 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 2: right about him. He's you know, third in approach. He 497 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 2: got JT and Moricala the two best iron players in 498 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 2: the game white players by a good bit in my opinion. 499 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 2: Number three and separating himself in a big way is 500 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 2: Russell Henley. And Russell Henley has shown Spurts a great 501 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 2: putting and his game is starting to come around and 502 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 2: he's kind of in that same Gary Woodland tier. And 503 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 2: I'm really interested in Russell Henley again, that's one guy 504 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 2: I think I'll continue to ride the heater on. 505 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: I'm absolutely with you on that. I've got him in 506 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: my column this week to finish top ten. He's five 507 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 1: to one to finish in the top ten, right where 508 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: he was a week ago. And like you said, he's 509 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: been hitting the ball as well as he really ever 510 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: has in his career over the last month or so. 511 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: So I am sticking with Russell Henley a couple of 512 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: their names from from top to bottom. But Adam Scott, 513 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 1: you know, he didn't decide to skip the first two 514 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: months of the restart because he just wanted to stay fresh. 515 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he had concerns about traveling during pandemic. Young 516 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: family at home. Totally understand all of that. But sort 517 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: of the residual byproduct of that decision is that, well, 518 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: everyone's a little guest right now. I mean, the world's 519 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: best players have played more golf over the course of 520 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: the last two and a half months than they usually 521 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: do at this time of year. Adam Scott should have 522 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: some tread on the tires left. He should be ready 523 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: to go this week, so I kind of like Adam 524 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 1: Scott coming off a nice round on Sunday, if your 525 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: other names. Alex Norn is starting to play like the 526 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: top ten player that we've known him to be over 527 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 1: the years, and three top tens in his last four 528 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: starts after zero in his first ten this year. I 529 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: really like Norrin Xander Schoffley's a guy who, of course, 530 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,719 Speaker 1: whenever there's a no cut event with a big field, 531 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: he usually shows up, and he's a nice safe play 532 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: for DFS. Nice kind of top ten and type of 533 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: play betting wise. Adam Long is twenty seventh on the 534 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: FedEx Cup point standings right now. Adam Long grew up 535 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: in Saint Louis, a Midwest kind of guy. Should feel 536 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: sort of at home in the Chicago area, and that's 537 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: going to mean more to him. He is probably more 538 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: motivated having never gotten to the Tour Championship, and you've 539 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: got to understand that getting to the BMW Okay, it's 540 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: nice I get one more start. Getting to the Tour 541 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: Championship is this year. At least I get to Capalua, 542 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: I get into the four majors next year. I can 543 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: set my entire schedule. I mean is there are a 544 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: lot of really good things that can happen. It can 545 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,959 Speaker 1: be sort of career change, in career defining, just getting 546 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: to the tour championship. And so at twenty seventh on 547 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: the points list, needing just a decent week, you know, 548 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: not a great week, but just a decent week to 549 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: stick around inside that top thirty, I think Adam Long 550 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: should be very motivated, very inspired to continue moving on 551 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: past this week. 552 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 2: I love that call. And yeah, Adam Scott's another guy 553 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 2: that I'm interested in, so sounds like we're on a 554 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: lot of the same guys.

So, Pete, 583 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,719 Speaker 1: I'll have the first pick. Let's get after this lineup. 584 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: What are you thinking? 585 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 2: Well, we both love John Rahm and it's an easy 586 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 2: pick to spend the money up there. I think we 587 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 2: both know how you played. He's eleventh times. I'm hopeful 588 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 2: will make his ownership just a little bit lower. He's 589 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 2: always up in the top ten and wait at thirty average, 590 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 2: I think he's eleventh right now or twelfth, but he 591 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 2: is a guy who makes a ton of birdies. I 592 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 2: think he's playing really well. Last week just kind of 593 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 2: it was a little off on the approach, and then 594 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 2: found it on Sunday and he drove it well, putted 595 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 2: it well. So I think John Rahm is trending. And 596 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 2: we both kind of like that memorial comp you know, 597 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 2: after the Great Round on Sunday for the workday. 598 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, I'm totally with you on that, and I 599 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: like starting it off with John Ram. We're gonna have 600 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: to dig a little bit deeper for some other guys 601 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,239 Speaker 1: in here, but I'll start off with Victor Hoveland at 602 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: eighty one hundred. I feel like Victor is ready to 603 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: do some big things very very soon. At eighteenth place finish. 604 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: You look at him over the last three weeks, fifty 605 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: ninth of WGC and Memphis, thirty third at the PGA 606 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: eighteenth last week, that tells me he is moving in 607 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: the right direction, and over the course of his very 608 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: young career, he's tended to gradually move in the right direction. 609 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: When he starts getting in that direction, he continues going there. 610 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: So I like Victor Holin for at least a top 611 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: ten this week, and I wouldn't assume that you would 612 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: be that highly owned. So I think you're getting a 613 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: guy that can maybe sneak in there just a little 614 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: bit at eighty one hundred. 615 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that call. Just a ball striking clinic. 616 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 2: He wasn't in the game hooks on Sunday putting. He 617 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 2: was making Bertie after Bertie because he was just having 618 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 2: kicking after kicking. So I think there's a lot of 619 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 2: signal with Victor hoblind And in a week where there's 620 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 2: no cut, he might make some sloppy bogies with his 621 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 2: chipping and around the green stats, but he's going to 622 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 2: be hitting the ball in terms of proximity as well 623 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 2: as anyone given his recent form. Love that call, and 624 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 2: I'll continue with guys that we've been talking about. We 625 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 2: have a little over seventy seven hundred for the nextpoort golfers. 626 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 2: I'll spend right in that range with Russell Henley, killing 627 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 2: it on approach. You know, he looked at his last 628 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 2: results fifty one, thirty, seventh, ninth, eighth. That's a trend 629 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 2: that I like the bet on. 630 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I am, of course all in on Russell Henley 631 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: right now. He's been one of my favorite players to 632 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: play over the last few weeks and we'll continue to be. 633 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: And by the way, if Russell Henley talk about guys 634 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: getting becoming motivated to get into Eastlake if he can 635 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: move on to next week, he was twelve in the 636 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: Tour Championship back in twenty fourteen T three just three 637 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: years ago. So Doby's if Henley, if he stays on 638 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: this little heater gets in next week, he makes some 639 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: noise at east Lake once again. So I like that 640 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: play my next guy another one we've mentioned already and 641 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: another one that I think we both like. But I 642 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: don't know what Olympia Fields is gonna be like, It's 643 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: really hard to tell. I don't know if thirty under 644 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: is gonna win this week again and you're gonna have 645 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: to go super low, or if it's gonna look like 646 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: a US Open set up, which not only has it 647 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,479 Speaker 1: held the US Open in the past, as recently as 648 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: two thousand and three, but when the US Amateur was 649 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: held there five years ago, Bryson, who won it, basically 650 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: compared it to a US Open set up and said 651 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: it was very much like that, with some lush rough 652 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: and fairways that aren't quite as wide as you would 653 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: see on a regular basis on the BJ Tour. And 654 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: so if it plays harder, I think you're gonna need 655 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: some guys that grind it out, some guys that maybe 656 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: don't necessarily go really low all the time, but guys 657 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: who are in good form and right along that that 658 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: feeling is Alex Norin at seventy nine hundred, who's coming off, 659 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, his third top ten is in 660 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: his last four starts. Who's eighth last week at the 661 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: Northern Trust, sixty four to sixty eight on the weekend. 662 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: And this is the Alex Norin that we have come 663 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: to know over the years. Hadn't been playing his best 664 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: golf for a little while for the last year or so, 665 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: but over the last month has really turned it around, 666 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: and he is firing on all cylinders right now. 667 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 2: Peter, he absolutely as firing on all cylinders. I've not 668 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 2: had exposed to Alex Nora, and that has been very painful. 669 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 2: I have had a ton of exposure to Ryan Palmer. Actually, 670 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 2: I'll let you decide, because these are there's like a 671 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 2: lot of guys in this range that I really like too, 672 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 2: specifically Ryan Palmer, who is I mean, Ryan Palmer is 673 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 2: playing some great golf. Thirteenth and waded birdie average right now, 674 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 2: coming up in eighth place all four rounds in the 675 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 2: sixties last week. Going through his results, I mean second, fifteenth, 676 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 2: forty third, eighth are his last four tournaments. He really 677 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 2: figured something out and it's fun to see Ryan Palmer 678 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 2: playing great again. So mike him. But the other guy 679 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 2: that I think makes a lot of sense, that's way 680 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 2: up there and waited Birdie average as as much firepower 681 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 2: as any player on tour as Cameron Champ. That's seventy 682 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 2: five hundred and no kind event. I am attracted to 683 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 2: both those guys. Which which pick do you like more? 684 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: I like Champ a little bit better. Palmer, You're right, 685 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: has been fantastic recently. I just feel like you almost 686 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: missed it if you didn't have them last week. Let's 687 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: see eighth of the Northern Trust, forty third PGA Championship 688 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: where we both really liked him. Fifteenth at the WGC, 689 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: second at the Memorial. I mean, that's some fantastic golf. 690 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: I certainly don't want to fade Palmer. I like the 691 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: the firepower of Cam Champ, and quite honestly, I like 692 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: the firepower of a guy that's right there with Cam 693 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,479 Speaker 1: Champ at seventy five hundred. That's Jason Kokrak, who has 694 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: played well recently also. So I will let you choose 695 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: between those two, and I will take coke Crack because 696 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: I like the fact that he's moving the right direction 697 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: right now. 698 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 2: All in on co Crack had him in cash in 699 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 2: THEFS last week. Great Birdie on eighteen hit at the 700 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 2: four feet talk about firepower, co Crack has it, and 701 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 2: I love this lineup. Let's go a champ in co 702 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 2: Crack leaving two hundred on the table, which we talk 703 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 2: about a ton on this podcast. If you're playing DFS, 704 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,439 Speaker 2: you're playing the big contest, especially in a no cut 705 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 2: event with only seventy guys, make sure you're leaving some 706 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 2: money on the table. That is the best way to 707 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 2: ensure that you have a unique lineup. So I'm happy 708 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 2: that we're doing that. And I think I feel pretty 709 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,919 Speaker 2: good about this team. I think we have a good 710 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 2: blend of recent form as well as maybe a little regression. 711 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 2: With a guy like Cameron Champ, who played well at 712 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 2: the PGA, didn't have a good Sunday but then missed 713 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 2: the cut last week, I could see some regression knowing 714 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 2: that he has all four rounds and he needs to 715 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 2: make a charge as well. So I feel really good 716 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 2: about this team. Jason, I do. 717 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: Too, surprisingly because a half hour ago, I would have said, 718 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: you know, I just we could basically throw darks and 719 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: pick six guys and I'd say, Okay, maybe it's good, 720 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: maybe it's not. Now I'm looking at these six that 721 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: we have right now. John Rahm, Victor Hovland, Russell Henley, 722 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: Alex Norin, Jason Kochrach, Cameron Champ. I really really like 723 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: that lineup. And again, it's going to be tough to 724 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: kind of figure out exactly how Olympia Fields is going 725 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: to play, but it's gonna be big. You're gonna need 726 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: to be able to hit it a long way, and 727 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: we've got some bombers in this lineup. So love that 728 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: can't wait for this thing to get started. Peter any 729 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: final words on things you're thinking about for this week's event. 730 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 2: No, I'm going to be trying to figure out as 731 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 2: much as you can on the golf course, and we 732 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 2: will have more information on the gimme. It should be 733 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 2: a really fun week with the playoffs. We have the 734 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 2: US Open coming up soon and it's just a great 735 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 2: time of year NBA Playoffs. Shout out to Luka Doncic 736 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 2: for just an unbelievable, legendary shot and it's a great 737 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,240 Speaker 2: time to be a sports fan. So scaded for golf 738 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 2: this week and hopefully we're on the right guys, and 739 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:40,919 Speaker 2: looking forward to seeing you again on the Gimme. 740 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: Jason, Yeah, I can't wait to gimme once again every 741 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: Wednesday at eight thirty pm Eastern Time.
