I won that tournament. I shot sixty four 30 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 3: of the last round, won fifteen thousand dollars for the 31 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 3: first place. It got me in the Masters, got me 32 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: in the Tournament of Champions, and made me an exempt player. 33 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 3: So it was a huge deal for me. And the 34 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: next tournament was in the following week, was in central 35 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: Massachusetts and Worcester, mass and the tournament was called the 36 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 3: Pleasant Valley Classic. So I make the cut on Friday 37 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 3: afternoon on the number one shot higher. I'm not around 38 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 3: for the weekend. Saturday, the wind howled and I shot 39 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,399 Speaker 3: sixty six and lapped the field. And so now I'm 40 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 3: in the top ten and I think a few shots behind. 41 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 3: So this is my rookie here. I'm driving around in 42 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 3: an old four Galaxy five hundred tip. I don't have 43 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 3: a credit card. We could cash checks at the tournament's site, 44 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 3: and that's how I got around at any rate. Comes 45 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 3: Sunday morning, I just have this feeling that I'm gonna win. 46 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 3: So I go cash check for six hundred bucks, which 47 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: was the max. So now I've got like eight hundred 48 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 3: dollars on me. So it's breezy, not as breezy as 49 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 3: the day before. But I shoot sixty seven, and I 50 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: went and so on the eighteenth green. We've all seen 51 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 3: the picture of the player with a big cardboard dummy 52 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 3: check for first. 53 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: Place, which we all wish they still did well, but 54 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,839 Speaker 1: they don't anymore, I guess. 55 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 3: But cousinin Gola, the guy that owned the golf course 56 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 3: in most of central Massachusetts, I think, hands me the 57 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 3: real check on the eighteenth great a little folder cashable 58 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 3: check for forty forty thousand bucks, fold it up, I 59 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 3: put it in my pocket, went into the clubhouse afterwards. 60 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 3: Now I've won two in a row. I'm in tall cotton, 61 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 3: and so I buy around at drinks. And a fella 62 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 3: named never Forget Him, a guy named Dick four Acre, 63 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 3: was the courteousy car driver volunteer that week. It squired 64 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: me around a little bit, and I see him afterwards, 65 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 3: and I said, Dick, where do we go? 66 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 6: Come on? 67 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 3: We got to go have some fun, and so we 68 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 3: end up going to a place called to flinns. Now, 69 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 3: we'll fast forward because I don't remember a lot. Next morning, 70 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 3: I come too. I learned there's a big difference between 71 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 3: waking up and coming too. I had come out of 72 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 3: this coma, and I don't know how long I sat 73 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: there before I even remembered I want a tournament, you know, yeah, 74 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: And I went, oh my gosh. I decided, you know, 75 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 3: I'm pretty cool. I'm gonna go buy a newspaper read 76 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 3: all about how cool I am. Right right, So I 77 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 3: threw on my pants, reaching the pocket. I haven't got 78 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 3: any money. 79 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 7: I haven't got a dime. 80 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 6: I haven't got a check. 81 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 3: Oh geez. So I call out to the tournament. I 82 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 3: get cousin go on the phone. I said, Gus, look, 83 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: I got a problem. What kind of problem could you 84 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 3: possibly have? He said, Well, I lost the check last 85 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: night somewhere. Is that a problem, he laughed. He says, 86 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 3: don't worry about it. We'll stop payment on it. We'll 87 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 3: send you another one. So now my heart rates back down, 88 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 3: and you know, I'm trying to think of where the 89 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 3: heck was I last night. That took a while I 90 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 3: realized that I had gone to this place called t 91 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 3: O Flynn. So I look up the number in the 92 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 3: phone book. I called t O Flynn's get somebody in 93 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 3: there that's cleaning the place. And I said, I lost 94 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 3: something in there last night, quite valuable. I wondered to 95 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 3: get anything found A lost and found me. He says, what, 96 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 3: what's the deal? So I lost a forty thousand dollars check? 97 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 3: He says, no, I haven't found it, okay. So in 98 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 3: the meantime, I'm thinking, oh no, he's sending forty thousand 99 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 3: dollars check. I don't have any money. I can't get 100 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 3: out of town if I called back out, I said, becus, 101 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 3: it's the guy left with a check. He said, he's 102 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 3: just going out the door. I said, can you stop him? 103 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 3: Say can you send me a check for thirty nine 104 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 3: thousand or something? So I need some money? You know, 105 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 3: you just don't worry about it. So he fronted me 106 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 3: some money and they sent me the check. And then 107 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 3: I get a call from the bar from the owner. 108 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 3: He says, we found the check. And he said, and 109 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: I said, don't worry about it.

Perce was a child, wonder kid. 175 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 3: I mean, he was touted as a very young man 176 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 3: to be the next Jack Nicholson. His talent was consummate. 177 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 3: Fair to say, Eddie loved the nightlife a lot. And 178 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 3: this tournament was opposite the Masters, and this was nineteen 179 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 3: eighty and they had a place there. I'll give him 180 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 3: a plug. If they're stilling business cash mccool's yes, And 181 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 3: you could go in and for ten bucks they'd give 182 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 3: you a glass and they'd fill it all night. You 183 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 3: bought your glass and they'd fill it all night. So 184 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 3: Eddie had a. 185 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 6: Heck of a time, a heck of a time. 186 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: When he first got there, they gave him a glass, 187 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 3: he gave him ten bucks, and he goes, that's all 188 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 3: I get is an empty glass. He threw it against 189 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 3: a brick wall broke. So they took him downtown. But 190 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 3: he knew a judge in town. He called the judge. Judge, 191 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 3: played the program with the judge, came back. Anyway, we're 192 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 3: playing a practice round this game coming up the next day, 193 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 3: and we got George Catle and Frank Connor, and you 194 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 3: stand there in the first tea and Eddie's a mess, 195 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 3: and nobody wants Eddie. 196 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 6: You know. 197 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 3: They go, well, we got to flip this, and I said, 198 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 3: I'll take Eddie. So we get up on the first tee. 199 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 3: Eddie cold tops it maybe fifty yards and he's laughing, 200 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 3: and I'm thinking, oh, kad, this is going to get 201 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 3: expensive at any rate. Eddie shoes sixty four. He could 202 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 3: play hurt and we absolutely wear those guys out and 203 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 3: on both nines gambling game understanding, pressing and all that 204 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 3: kind of stuff. Yeah, he birdie eight and nine and 205 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 3: seventeen and eight. Oh, I did nothing and we beat 206 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 3: the dickens out of it. 207 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: You know, we talk so much on this podcast, especially 208 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: at Action Network is obviously involved in gambling, and there's 209 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: obviously a strong relationship, a strong bond in golf between 210 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: the game itself and betting. Anyone who's ever played goes out, 211 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: whether you're playing a twenty five cent nassauw with grandpa 212 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: or whether you're out playing for big money. There's there's 213 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: always something on the line, there's always something to be 214 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: playing for. 215 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 4: Now that gambling is becoming. 216 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: More regulated and legal in the United States and we're 217 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: seeing more of it on tour, do you see it 218 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: being part of the PGA tour out here? Maybe players 219 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: aren't necessarily thinking about it, but look, the fans are 220 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: following certain players and interested in and you know, in 221 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: them for reasons other than just I want to watch 222 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: them play golf. Do you see this becoming sort of 223 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: a bigger thing around the game itself. 224 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I think it's rather inevitable that 225 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 3: that day is coming. As to whether I think that's 226 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 3: good or not, that's another issue. There was, well before 227 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 3: my time on tour, which started in the mint seventies, 228 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 3: the tour made edicts about gambling on site and the players, 229 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 3: so on and so forth, because when there wasn't much 230 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 3: in the way of prize money, there were guys that 231 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 3: played cards with the members. This and that fleece amount 232 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 3: of a lot of money, and gambling wasn't allowed. 233 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 6: Yeah. 234 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 3: Outside it was very strictly regulated and still is. Yeah, 235 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 3: And I guess there's some good reasons for that. So 236 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 3: I don't know that I necessarily think that's all good 237 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 3: for the game. I mean, I just have scenarios where 238 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 3: I think, you know, somebody, some players leading a tournament 239 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 3: by a couple of shots. He gets a phone call 240 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 3: late at night. This is probably not a good idea 241 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 3: for you to shoot better than seventy three tomorrow. 242 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: M h. 243 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 3: You know, I don't know that that will happen, but 244 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 3: I could see where it could potentially happen. Would that 245 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 3: be good for the game, No, of course, though it 246 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 3: really wouldn't so I think nevertheless, I think, yes, there 247 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 3: will be gambling involving golf, so we'll see, but I 248 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 3: expect it to be part of our future in the game. 249 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: So we're back here at These Lake, same tournament, same place, 250 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: new date, new format. 251 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 3: What do you make of all this? Do you like 252 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 3: being here in. 253 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 4: August instead of September? 254 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 3: You like geting out of the way a football season. 255 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: Do you like the way the scoring system is set 256 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: up where Justin Thomas will come into things that's ten 257 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: under par coming into the week. 258 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 4: What do you think about how they've set everything up here? 259 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 3: Oh? Yes, and my thrilled to be back. 260 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 6: You guess. 261 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 3: East Lake is a magnificent place. 262 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 6: It's wonderful. 263 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's always a pleasure to be here. Being 264 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 3: here a month earlier, I have not been here in August, 265 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 3: and historically we've seen that August is the lowest scoring 266 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 3: month on tour. We just saw what they did to 267 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 3: Madona in Chicago last week because of the heat and 268 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 3: the humidity and so on of courses have to be 269 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 3: watered more. We're still at the time of year and 270 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 3: as we're facing this week, they shot of thunderstorms every afternoon. 271 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 3: So are they going to see a softer, easier golf 272 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 3: course than they might have seen a month later when 273 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 3: things have kind of dried out and the humidity has 274 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 3: gone down. They don't have to water as much, not 275 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 3: as many rainstorms. 276 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 6: Time will tell. 277 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 3: We don't know as to the scoring situation this year 278 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 3: news so jury's out a little bit. We'll have to see. 279 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 3: But I think it simplifies it in a lot of 280 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 3: ways for the viewer. In particular, because there's only going 281 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 3: to be one trophy. There's not going to be a 282 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 3: Tour Championship winner and a FedEx Cup champion. I think 283 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 3: that is simpler and easier for the spectators and viewers 284 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 3: to understand. You're also going to have leaderboards. 285 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 4: That they can read. 286 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 3: Basically, I mean, whoever's the most under par is winning 287 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 3: this thing, And that makes sense. As to the handicapping, 288 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 3: if that would be the right tournament, I'm not sure 289 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 3: it is. But starting somebody at ten under and the 290 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 3: next is eight under, and then they start you know, seven, 291 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 3: and then they group them at five and group them 292 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 3: you know, If that's the right thing, I don't know, 293 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 3: And I think this year's event will be a litmus 294 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 3: test for setting that up. But on the whole, I 295 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 3: like it, and I think I think it'll be good 296 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 3: for the tournament. I think it'll be good for the tour. 297 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 3: So I'm going into this week with the highest of anticipation. 298 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 3: It's going to be a pressure pack tournament. You know, 299 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 3: You've got to understand that if we played one round 300 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 3: tournaments on the PGA Tour, there'd be a whole lot 301 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 3: of first time winners. Sure, two rounds not quite so 302 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 3: many first time winners. Three rounds fewer yet, four rounds fewer. Yet. 303 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 3: This is a year long tournament, you know. And that's 304 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 3: the advantage that the great players, the very best players 305 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 3: have Just the longer you play, the better chances they're 306 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 3: gonna win. So you really got to look at this 307 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 3: as like we're on about the fifteenth hole this year 308 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 3: long tournament, were coming down to the last few olds 309 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: to see who's gonna take it all, And I think 310 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 3: it's gonna be pretty exciting. 311 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: You really do, as I said the other day, I'm 312 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: starting this week like most weeks over bar. 313 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 4: Well, over bar, You're not. 314 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: Someday you and I can start under par for a tournament. 315 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 3: Sounds really nice. 316 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: I'd like to be ten under par on Monday morning 317 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: before the week even starting to go.

That was so much fun. 323 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: People always say. 324 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 4: To me, you know, wow, it's so cool being out 325 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 4: there on PGA tour. 326 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: You get to talk to Tiger Woods, Rory McElroy and 327 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson, all these guys, And yes. 328 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 4: That part is all very cool. 329 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: But I can talk to guys like Roger Malby and 330 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: that's one of the most fun parts of this job. 331 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 4: So I'd like to bring in now Peter Jennings, of course. 332 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: Obviously a regular usually the host of this podcast. Drew 333 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: Stoltzak the sleeves Mia. This week he is actually trying 334 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: to qualify for the mid Am so we wish him luck, 335 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: of course, and Peter. It's an interesting week, to say 336 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: the least. I think it's probably less interesting from a 337 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: gambling and fantasy and DFS standpoint than most other weeks, 338 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: not only with a thirty man. 339 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 4: Field, but with a staggered scoring format. Would you agree 340 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 4: with that? 341 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, and coming off last week, which I love seeing 342 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 7: JT win, but fortunately did not have any JT or 343 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 7: maybe I had like one share and he was the 344 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 7: chockiest golfer on the slate. 345 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 6: So love last week. 346 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 7: It actually even the result was obviously bad, but I 347 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 7: thought the tournament was really cool and it's JT's arguably 348 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 7: my favorite golf r on tour, so I was excited 349 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 7: to see him win. But now you have an interesting 350 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 7: situation where we're coming into our championship, there's only thirty guys, 351 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 7: tough to bet at DFS pricing. They adjusted the pricing based, 352 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 7: you know, with how the finish is going to be, 353 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 7: so Justin Thomas is now fifteen four hundred, whereas Justin 354 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 7: Rose is sixty nine hundred. So some interesting decisions, But 355 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 7: agree overall with the limited field. It's it's hard to 356 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 7: find a lot of about Badillo research. 357 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: Peter As I wrote a piece on the Action Network 358 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: right now, and I found that of the twenty nine 359 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: players who are trailing by some sort of deficit entering 360 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: the first round this week, ten of them, just over 361 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: a third of the field, have actually made up that 362 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: deficit from the end of a round at some point. 363 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 6: During their careers. 364 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: What I mean by that is Web Simpson and Justin Rose, 365 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: who have made up the biggest deficit, have come back 366 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: from being down eight after whether it was the first round, 367 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: second round, or third round, come back from eight shots 368 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: and actually won a golf tournament. They're down eight right now. 369 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: So there are ten players who have done that in 370 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: the past. Doesn't necessarily mean that those are the only 371 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: players who can do it, but it's interesting to look 372 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: at it from that perspective. The other side of the 373 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: coin is that Justin Thomas, when he has a two 374 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: stroke or more lead after any round, is really really good. 375 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: He loves playing with the lead. He is two for 376 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: two converting a two shot first round lead, which is 377 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: extremely impressive because guys don't do that very often, two 378 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: for two with a two shot or better second round lead, 379 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: and four for five with a two shot or better 380 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: third round lead. The only one he hasn't won was 381 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: the Genesis Open earlier this year. 382 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 4: We lost to JB. Holmes and finished in second place. 383 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: So if we look at all that past history and 384 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: we try to come up with some sort of conclusion, 385 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: I guess there's two conflicting conclusions from that. One is that, 386 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: first of all, there are ten players who have a 387 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: legitimate chance based on past history. 388 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 4: Of coming from behind and beating j T. 389 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: The second conclusion is that JT doesn't like letting people 390 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: come from behind and beat him when he has a 391 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: two shot lead. 392 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, and it just presents a weird betting situation. And 393 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 7: also trying to figure out ownership for DFS is very 394 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 7: hard because there are some higher value picks, So I 395 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 7: don't know, I'm just I'm struggling to find a lot 396 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 7: of value. But it's going to be exciting. I actually 397 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 7: like the format overall. I think finishing now football's right here. 398 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 7: I think it's a perfect timing and I still love 399 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 7: the new schedule. But this is definitely the toughest week 400 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 7: just given the limited field. 401 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, it really is. 402 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: And I've started making a few DFS lineups, and basically 403 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: the way I'm looking at it is fay JT and 404 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: try to get lucky with some other guys. And I 405 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: think that's kind of what you have to do. I 406 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: think if JT was the chalkiest player on the board 407 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: last week in Chicago in a seventy manter BMW Championship field. 408 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 4: He's going to be beyond Chalky this week. 409 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: I think everyone's gonna jump on JT, who obviously has 410 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: the lead already. So I'm looking at guys like John 411 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: Rahm and Webb Simpson, maybe even Justin Rose and Brant Seneker, 412 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: guys who are probably not in it to start, but 413 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: could make a nice run and climb up the leader board. 414 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 4: And look, if you get lucky, maybe it happens. 415 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: And I will say the one thing that JT has 416 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: going against him is that over the course of the 417 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: last I think it's going back about ten weeks now, 418 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: and I got to chick Patrick Reed last week, but 419 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: there have been seven of the last ten winners on 420 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: the PGA Tour have played the very next week, and 421 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: of those seven, all of them have shot in the 422 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: sixties in their first round. So four days after winning, 423 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: they're all still hot, they all still got some momentum, 424 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: they're all still feeling. 425 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 4: It, and they all play well. 426 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: What happens, though, is that by a large every single 427 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: one of those players. I gotta check where Patrick Creed 428 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: finished last week, but until Patrick Creed, every single one 429 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: of them finished outside the top thirty, which basically means 430 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: they all start hot, they all run out of gas, 431 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: they all lose steam, and they all fall apart by. 432 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 4: The end of the weekend. 433 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: And so if you're looking at that as some sort 434 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: of model, some sort of trend, and you're saying, well, 435 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: what should we expect from JT based on that? If 436 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: he goes out and plays really well on Thursday, everyone's 437 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: gonna say, man, this thing's over. He extended his lead 438 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: from two to four and the rest of the things 439 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: just gonna be a coronation. 440 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 4: Slow down a little bit, because what we've seen over 441 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 4: the last two and a half months. 442 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: Is that that doesn't necessarily happen on a weekend week 443 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: out basis. So I think there might be some value 444 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: in not betting the tournament going into it. 445 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 4: But if JT extends that lead on. 446 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: Thursday afternoon, maybe you look at the overnight lines on 447 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: Thursday night Friday morning and you find some value in there, 448 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: and you bet a couple of guys who are maybe 449 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: bigger odds going into the final fifty four holes than 450 00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: they are right now. 451 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's interesting strategy. I'm just excited to 452 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 7: see some good golf too. I mean, these guys are 453 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 7: playing well. JT had, you know, a couple of hiccups 454 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 7: at Par five last week, but for the most part, 455 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 7: it's fun to see JT play aggressive of the lead. 456 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 7: And I mean, I'm a huge JT fan. I hope 457 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 7: he's right there, but I hope someone gives him a 458 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 7: little bit of a challenge over the weekend. And I guess, 459 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 7: transitioning into it, if I had to pick one guy 460 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 7: that I think could catch him, I mean, can't lay 461 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 7: is the chalk answer, but I probably picked Rory as 462 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 7: the next guy that could could make a just huge charge. 463 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 6: I mean, if Rory comes out lightning hot, I think 464 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 6: he has a chance. 465 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 7: He was the favorite in the betting markets last week 466 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 7: by a decent bit with the closing lines. 467 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 6: Who would be your favorite syllable to basically catch him 468 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 6: at this point? 469 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're probably right about that. With Rory, I like, 470 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 4: can't lay a lot. Something tells me that he's just 471 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 4: not quite there. 472 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: Cantley's a guy that I always think has a high ceiling. 473 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 4: But he's also got a high floor, and so he 474 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 4: makes for a safe DFS option. 475 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: I'm just not sure that he's ready to go out 476 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: there and get this thing Rory. 477 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 4: If you think about his mentality, you think about his. 478 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: Mindset, Putting Rory four shots behind the leader almost plays 479 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: right into everything that's right about Rory and everything that 480 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: kind of works for him on a regular basis. 481 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 4: We've seen so many times over the last. 482 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: Couple of years where he is down by a similar 483 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: number going into the final round and has a backdoor 484 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: quote unquote, top ten, top five, whatever it might be. 485 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: I hate that term backdoor. It always has negative connotations. 486 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: What I always say is, would you rather Rory. 487 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 4: Shoot seventy eight in those situations and finished in forty 488 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 4: third place? 489 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: I mean, playing your best golf when you're semi in 490 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: contention going into the final round shouldn't be looked at 491 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: as a negative, But sometimes it tends to be when 492 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: in the case of Rory McIlory. But yeah, I tend 493 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: to agree with you that Rory can come back and 494 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: certainly win this thing. 495 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 4: But I mean, we look at Peter from a perspective. 496 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: Of two shots going into the final round is still 497 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: game on for everybody. It's not necessarily this thing is 498 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: over two shots with seventy two holes to play, that's 499 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: a long. 500 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 7: Way to go right exactly, so I mean anything can happen. 501 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 7: I'm running for a JT. Rory finish. Actually, as of now, 502 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 7: I don't have any bets. We'll see what happens once 503 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 7: the tournament starts. But in terms of dfast, I have 504 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 7: a couple of plays. Do you have any bets that 505 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 7: you like, Cybel, You. 506 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: Know I may do a quick one on ram or 507 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: web Simpson outright. I just don't love the number on Rory. 508 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: Rory's less than ten to one. I kind of have 509 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: a rule of thumb that. I mean, even in a 510 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: limited field, less than ten to one just doesn't really 511 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: make me too interested matchups. I think you can find 512 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: some matchups out there. Kevin Kisdner is a guy that 513 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: I really like a lot, and kids nars up against 514 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: it might have been like d Chambeau or somebody like 515 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: that who's kind of towards the bottom of the leaderboard. 516 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: And I think kiddn are on Bermuda Greens on a short, 517 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: tight track. He seems excited to be here, as opposed 518 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: to some guys who are maybe just kind of playing 519 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: out the string. I think Kevin Kisner could have a 520 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: really nice week if you can find a bet somewhere 521 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: and not all books have it, but a bet for 522 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: the what they're calling it, like the stroke winner or 523 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: whatever it might be. As if everybody started it, even 524 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: bar which is what the PGA Tour won't let anyone 525 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: talk about the broadcast mentioned, but we all know what's 526 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: going on. 527 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 4: We'll be keeping track of it. 528 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: I think Kevin Kiszer could make a run at it 529 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: from that standpoint, that perspective. 530 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's interesting and maybe that's a fun way to 531 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 7: look at it. See if you can find some arbitrage 532 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 7: or they probably won't exist directly, but maybe you can 533 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 7: find some inefficiencies with stroke play bets versus you know, 534 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 7: the outright markets baked you know, with basically where they 535 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 7: are baked in already. With JT's starting off with the 536 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 7: lead and on the way down, I think Justin Rose 537 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 7: is going to be the one guy who's going to 538 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 7: be in pretty choky of the cheap guys. And I 539 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 7: guess I could be wrong, but sixty nine hundred, I 540 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 7: feel like there's a lot of upside there. He's definitely 541 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 7: the best golfer relative to his price, and finishing points 542 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 7: matter a lot in dfs, but making a lot of 543 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 7: birdies matters a lot too, and you get the best 544 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 7: players in the world. We saw it last week. Obviously, 545 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 7: the conditions and Medina were very soft and receptive and 546 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 7: created a really good scoring environment. But these guys are 547 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 7: go to make birdies pretty much everywhere they go, especially 548 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 7: these thirty guys. I'm still looking to target, you know, 549 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 7: trying to find value relative to price. You have to 550 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 7: bake in the finishing odds too, but I do think 551 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 7: Justin Rose is going to be chocolate his price. 552 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 6: Yeah. 553 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: As Roger mentioned earlier, the month of August has traditionally 554 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: shown to have the lowest scoring average of any month 555 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour, and now August, of course happens 556 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: to host all the FedEx Got playoff events, which you know, 557 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: I know people are grousing about the fact that Medona 558 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: at seventy six hundred yards played to twenty five under 559 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: winning score, but look, you get soft conditions, it just 560 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. 561 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 4: How long the golf course is, and I think these 562 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 4: guys have proven it. 563 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: One record beater has already been broken this week, and 564 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that we will see it not broken 565 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: any other time. Justin Thomas and DraftKings is fifteen thousand, 566 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: five hundred. Charles Howell's at the bottom of the barrel 567 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: this week at five thousand. There is a ten five 568 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: hundred dollars discrepancy between first and last in salary on 569 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: the board. I'm guessing, and you know more about these 570 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: things than I do, I'm guessing that has never even 571 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: approached that level, and I'm guessing until maybe next year's 572 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: Tour Championship, it will never again reach that kind of level. 573 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 4: Am I right in that assumption? 574 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 7: Yeah, you're one hundred percent right. It's very unique and 575 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 7: it does great for some interesting strategies. So at DFS lineups, 576 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 7: that makes it different than we've had in the past. 577 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 7: And I like the changes, and you know this week, 578 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 7: you know, playing Fantasy with only thirty golfers, overlap becomes 579 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 7: a really big deal. 580 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 6: So I kind of like this. 581 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 7: And yeah, the key now is figuring out where can 582 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 7: we find some value that might be contrarion, which that 583 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 7: leads us into the DK lineup, so so we don't 584 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 7: have to worry about Sleeves screwing up our lineup here. 585 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: Well, we almost need Sleeves this week because he's the 586 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: one that keeps missing cuts for us. There's no miscut 587 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: this week, so Sleez actually would have gotten a couple 588 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: guys inside the number, a. 589 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 6: Couple top thirty finishes for sure. 590 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm gonna start with the guy that 591 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 4: I mentioned earlier. 592 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to go very low on the board, but 593 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a good week for Kevin Kisner. Obviously, 594 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to come back and win 595 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: this thing, but looking at how things play out on DraftKings, 596 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: if he moves up to a third, fourth, fifth place, 597 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: that could be very, very valuable in a lineup. 598 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 4: So I like Kisner way down there at sixty six hundred. 599 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 7: I like that one guy is not playing well, but 600 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 7: you'll never see this price ever again, and I'm just 601 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 7: gonna take it. I think Rose is the chock. There's 602 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 7: some other good golfers that are compelling here, but I'll 603 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 7: take Dustin Johnson and hope that he figures it out. 604 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 7: He's been bad relative to DJ form, but I'm gonna 605 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,479 Speaker 7: gamble that he has somewhat of a decent finish here. 606 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 7: I mean, Dustin Johnson, eighty four hundred, you're getting a 607 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 7: huge discount. He's not where he normally is, and I 608 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 7: don't know. I know you probably don't love that pick, 609 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 7: but at that price, I think he's fine. 610 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 4: I don't hate it. 611 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: I don't love Dustin this week, but my theory this 612 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: week is almost just do what you think everyone else 613 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: is not gonna do zig when everybody else's EAGs, and 614 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: maybe you get lucky and pull a lineup that is 615 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: a little different than everybody else. So if DJ is 616 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: going to be seven eight nine percent owned, it might 617 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: be worth having him in a lineup. 618 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 4: So I don't hate it. Like I said, I don't 619 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 4: love DJ. 620 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: This week, but I just love picking guys that aren't 621 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: gonna be in a whole. 622 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 4: Lot of lineups. I think that one works. I'm gonna 623 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 4: go with a similar play. 624 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 1: I'm kind of torn between two other guys who are 625 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: a little bit further down the board, and I was 626 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: gonna leave us some cash after this to go with, 627 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: but I guess this guy's right about the average that 628 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 1: we have remaining. Tony Finow I like a lot obviously 629 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: playing really well. At some point it would almost be 630 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: poetic justice or you know, sort of Murphy's law, or 631 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: whatever the case might be, that Tony Finaw would come 632 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: out and put together the best four round total of 633 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: anybody in the field and finally claim that first big win. 634 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: You know, he's got one win already from a few 635 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: years ago, but in an opposite alternate field event, finally 636 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: that first first big win against the big field, and 637 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: he won't actually get credit for the win because somebody. 638 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 4: Else started in front of him. 639 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: So it would almost be kind of a Murphy's Law 640 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: type of deal for Fenw. 641 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 4: But I like Fenw this week eight eight hundred. Let's lockman. 642 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 7: Okay, I like that too. I think we faded the 643 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 7: really top end. But let's let's go to Rory. 644 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 6: I like that call. We'll see if he ends up 645 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 6: being chockey. And this lineup's looking good. 646 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 7: But every lineup's gonna look good because you have the 647 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 7: top thirty players in the world. 648 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, so we've got seventy eight hundred per player left. 649 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go low and leave you with some money. 650 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the guy. Yeah, I can give 651 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: you some money here. Some JM has played, oh yeah, 652 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 1: just about every week. I believe he's played all but 653 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: two weeks that he's been eligible to play on the 654 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: PGA Tour this year. Which is, if not the Rookie 655 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: of the Year Award, at least the iron Man Award. 656 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: This year, he's made twenty four of thirty three cuts, 657 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 1: seven top tens and really seems to be peaking somehow. 658 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 4: Even though he's played so much golf. The guy's machine. 659 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go Sujay at a really really discounted 660 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: price of fifty nine hundred, if for no other reason, 661 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: then that gives you some money to play with on 662 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: the board. I'm gonna let you take one of the 663 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: top dogs that's a little higher up there, with ninety 664 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,479 Speaker 1: seven hundred left for us. 665 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 6: All right, go, let's go Xander. 666 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 7: I tend to leave money on some salaries here, but Matsiyama, 667 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 7: the feeling will be shock, maybe a Web Simpsons shock. 668 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 6: So Xander sneaks in at ninety five. I think that's 669 00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 6: a pretty good squad. 670 00:28:59,360 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 4: I like that. 671 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: Going down the list, we've got Tony Fenow, Sung, J. M. 672 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson, Kevin Kisner, Rory McElroy, and Xanderschoffley. The way 673 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: I look at it, this week, Peter, why not you know, 674 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: you just never know what's going to happen this week. 675 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 4: We would think that JT. 676 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: Is at least going to be in the mix and 677 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: at least going to be, if not the winner, very 678 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: close to it, and you'd think he's going to be 679 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: very chalky because of it. So at least trying to 680 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: mix it up a little bit and try to find 681 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: guys that aren't going to be highly owned. So I 682 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: like the theory behind it, and I like the lineup 683 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: we've put together there. 684 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, I like it too, and it's deep Wei two 685 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 7: one other thing people will have. It's a little tougher 686 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 7: to translate the Betty markets into dfs, and there's some 687 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 7: additional game theory, so if you can find some guy 688 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 7: with an edge and really find someone contrariing, I do 689 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 7: think it's compelling. And Draftings of course still has really 690 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 7: big tournaments, so it should be a fun week. 691 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it should be fun and look for those willing 692 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: to pivot. If you're looking at the Scandinavian Invitation, which 693 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: I didn't even know was a thing. 694 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 4: It used to be called the Nordaya Masters. 695 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: Found out about the Scandinavian Invitation only when Henrik sten 696 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: and withdrew from the FedEx cut playoffs to rest up 697 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: for the Scanninnavian invitation, which is really fun to say. 698 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: If you're sitting at home or in your car right now, 699 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: just go ahead and say out loud scan an Avian invitation, 700 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,959 Speaker 1: like ten times you'll enjoy it. 701 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 4: So a couple guys I'm looking. 702 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: At, if not Stenson, I think Alex Norin is gonna 703 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: have a really nice week. Hayden Porsches I was on 704 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: last week. And then it's a short, tight track about 705 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: sixty eight to fifty. Look at guys like Ashley Chesters 706 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: and Matthew Southgate who are top ten in both fairways 707 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: and greens and regulation on the European Tour this year. 708 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 4: How's that for some analysis, Peter. 709 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 6: Solid and in your grinding. 710 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 7: So I'm impressed, and can mentioned before you'll be you 711 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 7: announced today that you'll be doing serious for the PGA tour. 712 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 7: So there's a lot of Jason Sibel fans out there 713 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 7: and we're gonna get more of you. So that's great. 714 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 4: I'm excited about it. 715 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: And I can thank you and Sleeves for sort of 716 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: helping with my radio type jops on the podcast here, 717 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: So thank you for everything.
