00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: see who's around, and you know, it's it's just like

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: when when you're overseas for the Open Championship and you're

23
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 3: walking into the lad Brokes and you happen to see

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 3: the guy, the first guy you see, You're like, well,

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 3: I gotta bet him. I lost many pounds on bo

26
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: Van Pelt back in the day because I happen to

27
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 3: see him walking down the.

28
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 4: Street before walking into a lad Brooks.

29
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 5: You might need a reconmission at Rockos Tacos, like going

30
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 5: into the final round over there on sand Lake, a

31
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 5: place I've been to a time or two, gets a

32
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 5: little noisy later at night, goes from restaurant to more

33
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 5: of a bar.

34
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 4: Uh huh, No, you might. You might have some insider

35
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: info there.

36
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: I'm going to do my buy get a little what's

37
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 3: going on? Yeah, So how's your weekend? And uh, what

38
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: did you think of those golf this weekend? That was

39
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: a sneaky good Sunday of golf that we had.

40
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 5: It was I really enjoyed Concession a lot. Having been

41
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 5: out there at the NCAA Championship six years ago. The

42
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 5: first thought I had leaving the golf course was I

43
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 5: have no desire to play here because I'm not good

44
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 5: enough to And second was, man, this is probably a

45
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 5: little bit too tough for the college game, but this

46
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 5: would be a really cool course for the PGA Tour,

47
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 5: and it really showed on TV.

48
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 4: I thought It was terrific. The variants in scoring was

49
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 4: really cool.

50
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 5: There were a lot of guys who are going on

51
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 5: career high Berdie streaks, more Kawa Hobland out of a

52
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 5: big Birdie streak at one point, but there were one

53
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty two doubles or worse too. But then perspective,

54
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 5: they're only one hundred and thirteen at Mexico City last

55
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 5: year in the same event, So just you know, I

56
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 5: just thought it was just to see that kind of

57
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 5: difference and know that there could be anything coming down

58
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 5: the stretch. And I like Cola more Kywa, but I

59
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 5: was kind of hoping for a little maybe he rinsed

60
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 5: one coming down the stretch, you can make it a

61
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 5: little more interesting. But man, he was just too good.

62
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 5: He was too good, too dialed in. His irons were outstanding,

63
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 5: and you know, a well deserved win.

64
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: We needed him to pill a Victor Hoblin and make

65
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 3: a quad at some point to make it a little

66
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: bit more interesting.

67
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: I completely agree about the concession and oh.

68
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: By the way, and this is far down the road,

69
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: but had Bruce Cassidy, the owner of the concession, on

70
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: our radio show Hitting the Green on the PGA Tour

71
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: Serious XM channel last week before the event started, and

72
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 3: he said, you know, look, if if all goes well,

73
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: and we know our course is going to show up

74
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 3: well on TV and we think the players are going

75
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: to like it, we hope the PGA of America is

76
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: watching because now the PGA Championship is not in August.

77
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 4: Now that's in May.

78
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 3: The weather's not too bad in May in Florida, you

79
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: could probably pull off a PGA championship. They're booked up

80
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: for a while, and I will say PGA Championship would

81
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 3: be very cool.

82
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 4: I don't know place called the Concession.

83
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: If the PGA of America is really interested, a Ryder

84
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: Cup might work at Concession as well.

85
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 4: With all those twists and.

86
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: Turns and Birdie's are out there, but double bogies are

87
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: out there as well, it could be a really good

88
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: rider course, Ryder Cup course.

89
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 5: That's the first thing I thought when you went down

90
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 5: that PGA of America.

91
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

92
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 5: I mean, I know they've got the PGA Championship locked

93
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 5: in for a long time to come, but that's the

94
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 5: first thing I thought too. And with that name, that history,

95
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 5: and more importantly that golf course, I think it would

96
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 5: be a great place to have a Ryder Cup.

97
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, the problem is I think it'd have to

98
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 3: be like the twenty forty seven Ryder Cup.

99
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 4: We're booked up for so.

100
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: Long with that that you know, they're the kids who

101
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: would actually play that if they scheduled it right now

102
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: aren't born yet.

103
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: So we've something. I got a song on the way.

104
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 5: I don't know, maybe maybe he's in the Ryder Cup

105
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 5: of the concession.

106
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: Who knows. I like it. I like it. We're given

107
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 4: of a captain's pick already.

108
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: You can manipulate the analytics because I'm sure that by

109
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: that point you'll be, you know, kind of moving over

110
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: the US side. So we're done giving the European side

111
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 3: tips and all the analytics will move over.

112
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 4: To the US.

113
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 5: I'm a mercenary, all right. Whoever comes to back, Well,

114
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't have any flag. I've got

115
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 5: a bank account.

116
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 4: I love it. I love it.

117
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: So the one thing that struck me this past weekend

118
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 3: justin was I have always separated, maybe you have a

119
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: more analytical way of separating the the very best players

120
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 3: in the world from the next tier of really, really

121
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: really good players. Now, I've always thought the very best

122
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: players in the world. And this can be fluid, this

123
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: can be flexible, but the very.

124
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 4: Best can win any place, anytime.

125
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: And you look at a Dustin Johnson, who can win

126
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 3: it on a sixty eight hundred yard course or a

127
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 3: seventy eight hundred yard course.

128
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 4: You look at Justin Thomas, who can win on a

129
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 4: wind blown course.

130
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: With water everywhere, or on a big ballpark with no

131
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 3: water at all, no hazards.

132
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: And so I was not sure about Colin Marcow.

133
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 3: Doesn't mean he had to prove something to us, but

134
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: I wasn't quite sure that the West Coast kid who'd

135
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 3: grown up on the West Coast and went to college

136
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 3: on the West Coast and what a major on the

137
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: West Coast, could come to Florida in his second career

138
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: pro event in the state of Florida on sticky Bermuda

139
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: grass and play as well as we've seen him in

140
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: other places. He showed me something this week, and I

141
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 3: think this has absolutely elevated him into that best of

142
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: the best tier.

143
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: What do you think I would agree with that?

144
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 5: I think all those names you mentioned, like guys who

145
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 5: are you know at that very peak of the game,

146
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 5: they all seem to have one thing that they do

147
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 5: ball striking wise, exceedingly well.

148
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 4: Right.

149
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 5: Justin Thomas's, I argue, one of the best iron players

150
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 5: on the planet, maybe the best the last two years

151
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 5: or so, you know, Rory McElroy, elite driver of the golf,

152
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 5: but obviously probably the best that we've seen last five

153
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 5: ten years. Dustin Johnson in that same kind of vein,

154
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 5: and really he's he's elevated as iron play in the

155
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 5: same kind of manner to where he's on another plane there.

156
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 5: Colin mor Kawa is I mean, he might be able

157
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 5: to take that title, this best iron player in the

158
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 5: world away from Justin Thomas. He's he's exceptional. I mean

159
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 5: in his his metrics are through the roof, especially considering

160
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 5: just how few of starts he's at he said forty

161
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 5: one PGA Tour starts. The only player with more wins

162
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 5: through forty one starts on the PGA Tour in the

163
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 5: last thirty five years is Tiger. I mean, that's an

164
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 5: exceptional you know, hit the accelerator ending of your career

165
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 5: on the big on the you know, the biggest tour

166
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 5: in the world. That ball strike is going to carry

167
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 5: him everywhere. And like you said, like the separating factor

168
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 5: is a guy who doesn't matter what golf course they

169
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 5: go to, they can win essentially on any setup. I

170
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 5: think that's that's the class Mark I has put himself in.

171
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 5: I think that that kind of, you know, that kind

172
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 5: of elite performance weekend week.

173
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 4: Out with des irons.

174
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 5: I know, the putter is the question, and you know

175
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 5: he went to that sawgrip. They talked a lot about that.

176
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 5: You know, that can kind of leave him from time

177
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 5: to time. His putting numbers were really bad this season

178
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 5: going into the week, and he really just put it

179
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 5: above average and he won by what four shots?

180
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 4: Three shots? So yeah, he's.

181
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 5: Certainly putting himself into another echelon of player. And to

182
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 5: have a Major and a WGC and you're not even

183
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 5: twenty five yet, I mean, that's that's some pretty special

184
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 5: company em entirely only two to do that.

185
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: Is there a Morikawa stat that jumps out at you

186
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: as being really relevant as far as just showing how

187
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 3: great he's been in the one all he go to

188
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: is very very simple, but I think it kind of

189
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 3: speaks volumes, which is, like you said, four wins and

190
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: forty one career starts and four miss cuts. I mean,

191
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: when your ratio of wins to miss cuts is one

192
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 3: to one, Yeah, that tells you just how good that

193
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 3: you have a high ceiling and a high floor, which

194
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 3: is the stuff that the best players.

195
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 4: In the world do.

196
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just it is. And to get there

197
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: so quickly and so early in your pro career. I

198
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: remember speaking with Colin I believe it was his second

199
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: or third pro event at the three M Open in

200
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 3: Minnesota a few years ago, and I came away like, wait,

201
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 3: that kid's twenty two years old. That no, he's like

202
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 3: double that he's forty four. I just spoke to Matt Kocher,

203
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 3: but he looked like Colin Morikaw. I mean, he was

204
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 3: so mature, so confident in himself, so well spoken, eloquent.

205
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 4: He's wise.

206
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think I've ever looked at a

207
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: twenty two year old, which he was back then, and said.

208
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 4: Wow, he's very wise.

209
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: I mean, they be a smart kid, but he was

210
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 3: wise beyond his years. So is there a stat that

211
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: you think shows just kind of how good Marcao has been?

212
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 5: First off, all respect to everything Matt Cooch's accomplished, but

213
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 5: he wishes he had that at any point two different stats,

214
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 5: one performance based one history based. Performance Wise, Collins led

215
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 5: the field in strokes, gain approach six times since joining

216
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 5: the PGA Tour in particular events six times. No one

217
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 5: else has done it more than four times in that span.

218
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 5: That's how good he is an approach play. Historically, only

219
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 5: seven guys now including Colin, have four PGA Tour wins

220
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 5: including a major before age twenty five, Going all the

221
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 5: way back to World War Two, only seven guys Jack Tiger,

222
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 5: Jerry Pate, Rory Speath, Justin Thomas. So that new wave,

223
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 5: it's happened a little bit more frequently, guys having more

224
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 5: success at the younger age. But that's a really small

225
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 5: group of guys to win four times, to have a

226
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 5: major championship before they even get to twenty five. So,

227
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 5: like I said, the iron play is the thing that

228
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 5: separates him from his peers. And you know, I think

229
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 5: we're you know, barring, barring any kind of injury or

230
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 5: mental block or anything. This is a guy we're gonna

231
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 5: be talking about for a decade and more to come.

232
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 4: In this game.

233
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: You could have given me, oh, I don't know, ten

234
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 3: thousand guesses and no offense to him because he accomplished it,

235
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 3: but I was not getting Jerry Pate on that list.

236
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 5: But you got to be truthful with those lists. You

237
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 5: can't just like pluck out the selected names you want.

238
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 5: But that's what we call like I know, and Jerry

239
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 5: Pate had a really good career, especially early on in

240
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 5: his career. As that stat displays in my TV career,

241
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 5: I call that a graphic killer because you want that

242
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 5: like list, You're like, all right, the list is Tiger

243
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 5: Rory and then like Robert Gamez, You're like, oh, it's ruined,

244
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 5: But it's not really ruined. He's nothing wrong with Robert Gomas,

245
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like it lessens the impact

246
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 5: when it's you know, a player that's not you know,

247
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 5: one of the best evers.

248
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 4: So I know, I get it.

249
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 3: And by the way, I loved your statu which I

250
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: didn't realize until Sunday.

251
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 4: I mean, we all would have known it, but we

252
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 4: didn't kind of put it together.

253
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 3: But other than Brandon Grace, who won the opposite field

254
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 3: event in Puerto Rico, was a great story in himself.

255
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 4: And oh, by the way, I mentioned on the pod

256
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 4: last week, thank you Twitter.

257
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: You have not won a PGA tour event over the

258
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 3: past month if you did not attend Florida State or

259
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 3: Cal pretty remarkable that, I mean.

260
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 5: It almost never happens to have I think immediately after,

261
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 5: you know, folks started realizing it. I always get asked like,

262
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: when's the last time this happened?

263
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 4: On Twitter?

264
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 5: I was getting asked that, and I was like, just

265
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 5: did berger Kepka did at Florida State? So kind of

266
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 5: crazy because it doesn't happen that often. I think, you know,

267
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 5: the Georgia guys probably had it happen once or twice

268
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 5: in the last decade or so with an amount of

269
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 5: great players has come out of that program.

270
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, tough to do.

271
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 5: And we saw two stretches of back to back tournaments.

272
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 4: In a row. Kind of odd. Yeah, yeah, very cool.

273
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 3: So let's get to our Arnold Palmer Invitational preview here

274
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 3: and talk about out the event at Bayhill this week.

275
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: Last year, windy cold, only four players broke par for

276
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: the week. By the way, as I wrote in my

277
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: preview this week, and this is a very very true story.

278
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 3: I picked up Arnold Palmer at the airport back in

279
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 3: August of two thousand and nine, hopped in a car

280
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 3: with me and I mean, you're not just gonna like

281
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 3: throw the hard hitting fastballs at Arnie at eight thirty

282
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: in the morning.

283
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 4: So you start by making some small talk. And in the.

284
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: News at that point had been the fact that Bayhill

285
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: was going to get lengthened just a little bit. But

286
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: really they were just going to call two of the

287
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 3: par fours par fives and go from a par seventy

288
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 3: to a par seventy two starting in twenty ten. And

289
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 3: I looked at us, doesn't matter, no, because people just

290
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 3: want to see more Bernies, so it doesn't matter, not

291
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 3: one bit. And so I still think of that every

292
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: time I speak in relation to par So honestly, if

293
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 3: they had never changed those last year, instead of four underwinning,

294
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 3: it could have been twelve over and we'd all be

295
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: sitting here and saying, oh my goodness, the carnage last

296
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: year at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, twelve over won it,

297
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 3: which honestly would have really been the same. I mean, yeah, okay,

298
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 3: they lengthened four and sixteen a little bit, but for

299
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: the most part they're basically the same holes. They just

300
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 3: call them par fives instead of par fours. Now, So

301
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 3: we look back at what happened last year and it

302
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 3: was a very difficult golf course.

303
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 4: What what kind of players are you targeting this week?

304
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 5: I will say, though, to that point you made about par,

305
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 5: The secret about golf is they played golf for centuries

306
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 5: without even with about par even existing.

307
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 4: So it's just it's.

308
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 5: Something to help guide the fans and the players like

309
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 5: throughout the tournament, I guess, but it's really just another

310
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 5: way to say score, you know.

311
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: You know what, though, I will say, and it shocks

312
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 3: me every time, but I will say that I've spoken

313
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: with players like before US Open.

314
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 4: God, they have his plan as par four it's.

315
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 3: Five hundred and forty yards is ridiculous, And I go, well,

316
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 3: if it was a par five.

317
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 4: Do you think you'd burny it?

318
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it'll be a short part five is.

319
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 4: Okay, So just go make a four. Who cares what

320
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 4: it's called.

321
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 3: And I really for all the criticism that the USGA

322
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: has gotten over the years about course set up, and.

323
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 4: A lot of it is uh is due criticism. I

324
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 4: get it. But the concept of par three and a

325
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 4: half's and bar four and a halfs I've always thought

326
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 4: it is something that needs to be done at more

327
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 4: golf tournaments. I love it when it's like, what's par

328
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, get it in the hole, Just play

329
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 4: the whole in as few shots as you can and

330
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 4: then go on and so Yes.

331
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 5: Squares in the circles around the numbers don't actually mean

332
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 5: anything in the end. Now, it's just a it's just

333
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 5: a way to, you know, keep track of what you're doing.

334
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 4: The numbers add up.

335
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 5: It's the same regardless if it's you know that five

336
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 5: is a par a bogie.

337
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 4: You know either either way. But four to eighty four

338
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 4: to one here last year exte of four and how's that?

339
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 4: Why not? Yeah?

340
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 5: And it could have been it could could have been

341
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 5: my s four if it was a part seventy would

342
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 5: have been plus four whatever. But yeah, No, to go

343
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 5: back to the players that I'm targeting this week, you know,

344
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 5: the as you've grown accustomed the last few weeks, as

345
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 5: I've been coming on here. I like to look at

346
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 5: the average rank of champions at a particular event in

347
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 5: terms of certain performance things performance statistics and compared to

348
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 5: the PGA to or average Arnold Palmer Invitational, Bayhill strokes

349
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 5: and off the tea less favored than normal, which may

350
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 5: seem a little bit.

351
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 4: When you think about the winners.

352
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 5: Here, Rory McElroy a few years ago, Jason Day at

353
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 5: his peak tiger Woods eight times, you probably think, wow,

354
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 5: that doesn't really make a lot of sense. You know,

355
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 5: strokes skin off the team might you think it might

356
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 5: mean a little bit more. It's actually less important than

357
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 5: average Strokeskin approach is more significant than average, particularly long irons,

358
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 5: which I have my favorite stat about this golf court

359
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 5: I'll get into later, and strokes skin putting has been

360
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 5: more important than normal too. So basically what it tells me,

361
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 5: and you look at the driving accuracy numbers of certain

362
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 5: players when they've won, you can be wild off the

363
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 5: tea here and get away with it. If you're able

364
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 5: to perform out of the rough with your irons, you're

365
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 5: going to have an advantage over the opposition. So immediately,

366
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 5: maybe that makes you think of Bryson at Wingfoot last year,

367
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 5: where you know, the gruff was really tall and it

368
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 5: was a problem for everybody, but for him, he's hitting

369
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 5: seven ironstead of four or whatever it might be, and

370
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 5: he had a huge advantage and ended up blowing the

371
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 5: field away. So iron play more important than normal driving

372
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 5: accuracy way less important than normal, and putting tends to

373
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 5: mean a little bit more this week than normal.

374
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 4: All right, So let's start at the top of the field.

375
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 3: And I want to see if you've got a stat

376
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 3: for these guys the best long iron players, and we'll

377
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 3: get to that, but let's.

378
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 4: Start at the top of the field.

379
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 3: Rory mclory the favorite this week, followed by Victor Hovlin,

380
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: and we've got, of course Tyrol Hatton.

381
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 4: Up there and a few other of the bigger names.

382
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 3: It's hard not to like Rory. I mean, I certainly

383
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 3: like Rory this week. I just can't like him at

384
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: eight or nine to one whatever he's going off at

385
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 3: when you're listening to this right now, just because the

386
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 3: win equity hasn't been there, and so you look at

387
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 3: Rory said, Okay, well he's one here before, but I mean,

388
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 3: and it's a big butt. He's been playing well. He

389
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 3: just gets there in different ways. And you know, can

390
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 3: I be sure that Rory mclory is gonna be twenty

391
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: third after Friday's second round and finish in fourth place?

392
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 3: I hate the term backdoor finished because quite honestly, like

393
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: what don't you want the guys to play the best

394
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 3: on the weekends when it matters the most, as opposed to, Hey,

395
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 3: he's a big Thursday player, but then he kind of

396
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 3: just falls off. You want to play your best when

397
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 3: it matters the most.

398
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 4: That's it.

399
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 3: I just I just don't know if I can see

400
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 3: Rory mclory winning, But I ALMOSTO don't think he's gonna be.

401
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 4: That far behind the winner either. If you look at all.

402
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 5: The course history statistics since Rory came here in twenty fifteen,

403
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 5: he's by far the best scoring averages first strokes, Caan,

404
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 5: total strokes, skan, Teeda Green, He's got the most drives

405
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 5: over three hundred yards. He has the most one pots

406
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 5: of anyone in this tournament since he came here in

407
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 5: twenty fifteen, flat fast time, so there's a lot ten

408
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 5: shots better in relation to than any player at fifty

409
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 5: two under since twenty fifteen. All of course history stuff

410
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 5: tells you, yeah, this is somebody who's going to be

411
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 5: worth that that spot at the top of the board.

412
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 5: But I'm with you in terms of the win equity

413
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 5: not being there. He hasn't won anywhere worldwide since the

414
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 5: end of twenty nineteen. The big thing though, not just

415
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 5: not breaking through getting a victory. That kind of gets

416
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 5: to me is just consistently since the pandemic hiatus ended

417
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 5: when they came back and played Golf a Colonial in May,

418
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 5: his iron numbers have not been the same as they

419
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 5: were before this season. He's outside the top one hundred

420
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 5: and strokes gained approach. That's the stat He was in

421
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 5: the top twenty in each of the previous two seasons,

422
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 5: and I think that that's a I mean, we talked

423
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 5: about how important that statistic is, how important iron play

424
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 5: is going to be this week. I think he'll play

425
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 5: all right. I don't see him winning this week simply

426
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 5: because of what we've seen with his iron play over.

427
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 4: The last several months.

428
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 5: So I'm a little I'm not as I'm not as

429
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 5: bullish on Rory as I would have been last year

430
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 5: or even two years ago.

431
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 4: In this tournament.

432
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 3: Okay, So we look at the top ten on the

433
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 3: board this week, Rory, of course, Victor Hovlin, Bryson, Tyrolhatton,

434
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 3: Patrick Reid both at eighteen to one, Paul Casey, Matthew

435
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 3: Fitzpatrick Louis Eustasen, Sung j Emil at twenty five. Dicky

436
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: Matsuyam arounds out the top ten at twenty eight to one.

437
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 4: As we speak right now, my play is out of

438
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 4: that one.

439
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 3: First of all, Matthew Fitzpatrick has everything going for him

440
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 3: this week, and by everything, I mean three specific things.

441
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: First of all, he loves playing a hard golf courses.

442
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 3: He said it after Memorial last year, finished solo thirty.

443
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: He goes, give me a really strong test of golf

444
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 3: over a birdie fest every time. That's what this should

445
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 3: be this week, and that shows in his recent results

446
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 3: at bay Hill finished second to Francesco Molinari two years ago,

447
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 3: ninth last year where he was the only guy to

448
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 3: break seventy in either weekend round, and then the fact

449
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 3: that he's trending in the right direction fifth at Riviera

450
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 3: eleventh of the Concession. I don't have a spot where

451
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 3: I look at Matthew Fitzpatrick and oh, by the way,

452
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 3: his first PGA Tour event, the first start you ever

453
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: had in the US, was at this event seven years ago,

454
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 3: and so I just can't look at him and say,

455
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 3: I don't know, there's something I don't like about him.

456
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 3: I like everything. It almost fits too well this week.

457
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 5: Justin I think you're reading my notes, you literally just

458
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 5: rattle off like six things I'm looking at right in

459
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 5: front of me. I'm all in on Fitzpatrick this week too,

460
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 5: to break through and get a win. I'm going to

461
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 5: try to find things on my sheet that I had

462
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 5: that you didn't say. One, he's second strokes gained total

463
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 5: of this event the last two years to Sung JM

464
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 5: who Sung Jay's finished.

465
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 4: Third and third is two.

466
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 5: The other thing is kind of an interesting trend at

467
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 5: this golf tournament five straight international winners going back to

468
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 5: nineteen fifty. Among the active tournaments on the PGA Tour,

469
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 5: only two streaks have been longer.

470
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 4: In terms of international winners.

471
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 5: There were nine straight in Maui at one point, and

472
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 5: that was a weird run where Stuart apple Be won

473
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 5: three in a row and it was kind of a

474
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 5: kind of I think the back endo that streak was

475
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 5: Daniel Chopra. I think at the end of it, I

476
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 5: mean it was it's a motley crew if you go

477
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 5: check out that list of winners, and then the only

478
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 5: other one before that since nineteen fifty is at the

479
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 5: Open Championship when Peter Thompson won three in a row

480
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 5: or three or four in a row, and it was

481
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 5: back in the nineteen fifties regardless, So it doesn't happen

482
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 5: that often, is the point I'm trying to make in

483
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 5: terms of international winners. So you know, maybe something he

484
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 5: said about tougher conditions. If you said, like the wind

485
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 5: picks up on the weekend, that's another reason to like Fitzpatrick.

486
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 5: You know, he said it himself. You repeated it that

487
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 5: he likes tough golf courses. You gotta like tough golf

488
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 5: courses you want to win a US amateur, which is

489
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 5: what he did earlier on in his career.

490
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 4: Yeah. I like Fitzpatrick a lot too. The form is there,

491
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 4: the numbers are there.

492
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 5: He's probably you know, if I go off the board

493
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 5: to pick a winner, that's probably where I see the

494
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 5: most value in that top tier players.

495
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's my favorite play as well.

496
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I necessarily love anybody else in this

497
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 3: top tier. I think hat and will play well. I

498
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 3: do like some JM based on what you said. You know,

499
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 3: and I stole your notes. I still your notes on Fitzpatrick.

500
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 3: I stole your notes from last week on Am and

501
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 3: Fleetwood being the two best in strokes gained in Florida

502
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 3: over the last few years. So I do like am

503
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 3: and speaking of Fleetwood, as we get into this middle

504
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: tier of the thirty to ones and a little bit higher,

505
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 3: Fleewood I think is a tremendous value play at forty

506
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 3: five to one.

507
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 4: In my guess is I'd have to go back and look.

508
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 3: But my guess is Tommy Fleewood was somewhere in the

509
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 3: neighborhood of eighteen to twenty to one going into this

510
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 3: event a year ago. And so the fact that you

511
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 3: can get the same golfer who admittedly hasn't played his

512
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 3: best golf lately, but it's still Tommy Fleewood at forty

513
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 3: five to one, I think is really nice.

514
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 4: I also look at Sam Burns.

515
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 3: I don't when it's the same number as Tommy, I

516
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 3: don't necessarily love it, but still forty five to.

517
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 4: One on Burns, who I love that his game travels

518
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 4: a lot.

519
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 3: And you're raising your hands like I'm sad for you

520
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: again my.

521
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 5: Hands because I'm all over Sam Burns as well.

522
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 3: Let's go for it.

523
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 4: I mean, look, the I nearly won at Riviera took

524
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 4: off last week.

525
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 5: I mean, he's exceptional at Riviera through about you know,

526
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 5: was it sixty holes? And then got caught, but my favorite,

527
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 5: Sam Burns note and then I came across this.

528
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 4: It didn't work out as.

529
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 5: Well last week because he didn't play, But I was

530
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 5: doing some research for an article I wrote for pgshore

531
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 5: dot com about who are the best players in the

532
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 5: state of Florida. Over what I saw for years, Burns

533
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 5: is an amazing putter in Florida.

534
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 4: He is through the roof.

535
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 5: He's averaging like more than a stroke in a quarter

536
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 5: one point three strokes game putting per round in Florida

537
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 5: in his career by far, the best of any player

538
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 5: over the last three seasons, like four tenths of a

539
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 5: stroke better, which is, you know, adds.

540
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 4: Up to a lot over the course of a week.

541
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 5: I've got him the top five and he's my first

542
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,239
Speaker 5: round leader pick because of how hot he's come out

543
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 5: of the gates the last few weeks. He had an

544
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 5: early sixty four a couple of weeks ago. He's you know,

545
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 5: of course, you know was on fire at Riviera coming

546
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 5: out of the gates. I mean, I feel like you

547
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 5: look through the screen and you've absorbed these We're either

548
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 5: on the total same wavelength with this, which is either

549
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 5: really good or really badicants side which or or you

550
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 5: know you're taking notes here, which I'm not crazy about.

551
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, in that case, when we go a little

552
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 3: bit lower, we're looking for guys who are maybe a

553
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 3: little bit more of value plays or.

554
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 4: You know, end of the DFS line.

555
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 3: Why don't you give me some of your names so

556
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 3: that I'm not you know, you can get them out

557
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 3: there first.

558
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 4: It doesn't look like I'm taking them before you. How

559
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 4: does that sound? Okay?

560
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 5: This will give me a perfect opportunity to tell you

561
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 5: my favorite statistic about Bayhill, and I kind of came

562
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 5: across a few years ago and it's really born fruit

563
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 5: over the last several years.

564
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 4: Okay, So there are more.

565
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 5: Approach shots at Bayhill Club and Lodge outside of two

566
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 5: hundred yards.

567
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 4: Than any other course on tour. It's not even close.

568
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 5: Last five years, the difference between Bayhill and the next

569
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 5: closest course in terms of approach shots from outside two

570
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 5: hundred yards is like two thousand shots. So it's by

571
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 5: far the most prevalent intern terms of that type of

572
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 5: approach shot on the VGA tour. So looking at the numbers,

573
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 5: and this guy's name came up last week at the

574
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 5: very end of the podcast, and the numbers bore him

575
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 5: out this week, the player with the best proximity to

576
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 5: the whole the last two seasons from that range is

577
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 5: Will Gordon. He's the absolute best proximity of the whole

578
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 5: outside two hundred yards over the last two seasons, second

579
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 5: best on tour. Just to give you some validity of

580
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 5: that statistic of that trend, tyr Ohattan, you're defending champion

581
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 5: at Bay. He's number two, number one, Will Gordon, who

582
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 5: was also fourth on tour in scoring.

583
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 4: Average when he's from that distance away.

584
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 5: So a top ten finish, I've got him at plus

585
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 5: sixteen hundred, you know, using that logic, I think that's

586
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 5: if I'm going to ride with the numbers. If that's

587
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 5: my calling card, let's go. Let's find us some value

588
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 5: there with Will Gordon and those long irons.

589
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 3: Now I only listen to him for a top forty,

590
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 3: but he was in my preview that I already wrote.

591
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 3: We're recording this on Monday evening. I rode my morning

592
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: the previews out already. I've got Will Gordon listed on there.

593
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: Very cautious play for a top forty, since I list

594
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 3: guys in different categories but yeah, I'm absolutely on.

595
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 4: Board with that.

596
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 3: A couple other guys with numbers a little bit bigger

597
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 3: than I thought they would be Luke List, who has

598
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 3: a nice intersection of recent form and course history. He's

599
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 3: finished top twenty here, didn't play for some reason last year,

600
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: but top twenty each of his last three starts at

601
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 3: this one. He's been top thirty three of his last

602
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 3: four starts this year, so he's got some things going

603
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:33,239
Speaker 3: for him.

604
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 4: And then one of the oh, yeah, what do you

605
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 4: got on Luke List? I was gonna say, Luke.

606
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 5: List, he's fourth in strokes gang total per round at

607
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 5: Bayhill the last five years. Only guys I have Rory Sorry,

608
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 5: he's fifth in strokes gan total the last five years.

609
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 5: Only guys ahead of him Rory Leishman, Mullinari Bryson.

610
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 4: That's it.

611
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 3: That's good company. And then I'd mentioned this to you

612
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 3: in the past. One of my favorite stats, because I

613
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 3: think it's so predictive, is final round ball striking numbers

614
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 3: at the previous event, if the guy is playing four

615
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 3: or five days later. I just think that if you

616
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 3: can find something on Sunday, it can carry over. You

617
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 3: spoke about that in relation to rom I believe. On

618
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 3: last week's pod, Sebastian Munio's was fourth in strokes, gained

619
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 3: tee to green at the concession, first in strokes, gained

620
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 3: approach shots in that final round at one hundred and

621
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 3: ten to one, I don't hate him for an outright

622
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 3: and at.

623
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 4: Ten to one, I love him for a top ten.

624
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 5: That's a great call. And you know it didn't particularly

625
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 5: work out for Rob last week, but more often than not,

626
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 5: that's a guy who you figure is finding something with

627
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 5: his golf swing that's able to be predicted moving forward

628
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 5: to the next week with that momentum.

629
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 4: So that's a great call.

630
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 5: I think that's significant value for somebody who had those

631
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 5: kind of numbers a concession last week.

632
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,239
Speaker 4: Are really difficult layout. All right, we've got to get

633
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 4: to our DFS lineup.

634
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 3: We've got to get to our five questions before we

635
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: get through all these other names.

636
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 4: Anyone else you want.

637
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 3: To point out as a guy that is sticking out

638
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 3: to you from any of those tiers that we haven't

639
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 3: mentioned yet.

640
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 5: I think Bryson is worth talking about a little.

641
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 4: And finally we disagree on one. Let's go Jay Ray.

642
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, hear me out his final round as strokes gain.

643
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 4: Putting last week at the Concession.

644
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 5: I know he had that one total blow up, terrible round,

645
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 5: but he had positive strokes game putting over the course

646
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 5: of an entire PGA Tour event for the first time

647
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 5: since the US opened. And I think a guy who's

648
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 5: had two top fives here in the last three or

649
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 5: four years at bay Hill, the way he drove the

650
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 5: ball on the weekend, if he just puts somewhere close

651
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 5: to what he was doing around this time and then

652
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 5: into the fall of last year, I think that's something

653
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 5: to be contended with because.

654
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 4: I think his low is high.

655
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 5: He's got that high floor, and I know he's really

656
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 5: high up on the board, so you might have to

657
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 5: you know, maybe maybe there's not a ton of value there,

658
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 5: but I think he's at least worth discussing because of

659
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 5: that putting number.

660
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 3: My problem with Bryson right now is that he is

661
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 3: a tinkerer we have. I mean, his entire game has

662
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 3: been tinkered with. You look it, especially those photos from

663
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 3: last week where he would won the NCAA Championship at

664
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: the Concession. You know, everyone show like, oh, here's his

665
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 3: the distances with his clubs here's what he's looked like.

666
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's changed everything since then. He has

667
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 3: stopped tinkering with what he was doing last year that

668
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 3: had worked for him. I don't necessarily disagree with it.

669
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: I think he'd probably gotten too bulky. He's probably looking

670
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 3: too much for speed and distance. He's probably got a

671
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 3: dial it back a little bit, so he's he's looking

672
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: to get leaner. He's stopping as many drinking, as many

673
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 3: proteins shakes, not up to six or seven protein shakes

674
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 3: a day. He is forgetting about going with the extra

675
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 3: long driver and sticking with the regular length driver.

676
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 4: Right.

677
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 3: I feel like he's still in the middle of tinkering.

678
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 3: I feel like at some point he's going to find

679
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 3: that secret formula that's working for him again.

680
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 4: I just don't think it's there right now.

681
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,719
Speaker 5: I could see that, and I would also argue I

682
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 5: have no hard evidence of this, but he looks smaller

683
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 5: now than he did in the fall. I mean, I think,

684
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 5: you know, basically probably just changed the He's talked a

685
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 5: little bit about modifying the way that, you know, the

686
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 5: kind of way he got so much attention for the

687
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 5: way he you know, played his dieting with the protein

688
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 5: shakes and everything last year when he had so much success,

689
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 5: but he's kind of scaled back from that because he think,

690
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 5: you know, there was maybe some some health questions.

691
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 4: There towards the end of the year.

692
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 5: So I just thought that with that putting number, with

693
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 5: him putting together finally a really good not a really good,

694
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 5: but a better than average week on the greens, that

695
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 5: he was at least worth of discussion.

696
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 4: That's fair. I think he got scared off of the Masters.

697
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 4: I really do.

698
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 3: He talked about his health not being right, and he said,

699
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, I've got to get looked at. I've

700
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 3: got to get some tests. I think he got scared

701
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 3: off and started thinking about long term. If I'm putting

702
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 3: all of this into my body, what does that mean

703
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 3: for my health?

704
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 4: Is that, you know, maybe maybe it'll.

705
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 3: Make me play better golf in the short term, but

706
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 3: I'm going to live for a long time. I'm still

707
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 3: a young guy. We be playing for a long time.

708
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 3: What does it mean for me going forward? I think

709
00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 3: that that really changed his look a little bit. So

710
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 3: let's get to our five questions. For the first time

711
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: I've asked you the questions. First couple of times you've

712
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 3: been on the pod, and finally, like the ball is

713
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 3: in your.

714
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: Court, five minutes, five questions you never asked.

715
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 4: I gotta be honest with you.

716
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 2: I get a little irritated when somebody called me away

717
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: from my golf.

718
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 4: This is five under I feel good about these. I

719
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 4: like all five, mister Soble.

720
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 5: Question one, we just saw a great performance, obviously in

721
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 5: a win from Colin Morkaua. Victor Hoblin put together a

722
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 5: great week and nearly one while making an eight, which

723
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 5: would have been incredible. But over the next five years,

724
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 5: who will be the better player Colin Markaua or Victor Hoblin.

725
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 3: When they first turned pro, and everyone was asking the

726
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 3: question between Marikawa, Hobland, and wolf and we've now Wolfe

727
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 3: has been wd'd from this conversation for the time being,

728
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 3: I was going with Hobland. I really really like Hoveland's game.

729
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 3: I kind of think it's impossible. I'm not sure that

730
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 3: Hovlin goes with Hoveland right now in that question. I

731
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 3: have to go with Moricow based on what we've seen.

732
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 3: But I really like Hoveland a lot. I still think

733
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 3: and it goes back to what I said earlier in

734
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 3: the pod, Colin Moricow has elevated himself to the best

735
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 3: of the best in the world because he can win

736
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 3: any place, anytime. There are courses where I look at

737
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 3: Victor Hoblind and Bail might be one of them where

738
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 3: I say, I just don't think it's a great course

739
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 3: for him, and I don't say that about Colin Morricow.

740
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 5: What's a good comp from a couple of years ago

741
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 5: for Hoblin? I'm trying to think of one, like a

742
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 5: guy who is really on the precipice. You feel like, like,

743
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 5: would you be shocked at all Victor Hoblin won a

744
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 5: major this year? No, No, it wouldn't shock me at all,

745
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 5: not at all. So maybe it feels a little bit like.

746
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:45,239
Speaker 4: I don't know.

747
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 3: I'm trying to say to somebody, is there a twenty

748
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 3: sixteen twenty seventeen JT comparison?

749
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 4: Maybe that's probably a better one.

750
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, maybe Patrick Reid before he won

751
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 5: the Masters, take the character stuff completely out of it. Yeah,

752
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 5: Albert player, But I think Thomas might be a good

753
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 5: comp better comparison simply because of the ball striking abilities.

754
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 5: That's just kind of the flare and ability to string

755
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 5: a lot of birdies together to Hoveland seems like he's

756
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 5: a little more flashy, just a tad Colin Markow has

757
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 5: got four wins in a major already. I mean, you know,

758
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 5: it's tough to go wrong with either one. It's almost

759
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 5: an impossible question to answer. Hovilm led the field in

760
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 5: stroscan t Green Saturday and Sunday and Morecaw has still

761
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 5: beat him with unbelievable iron play.

762
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 3: So I think what it comes down to is Morecow

763
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 3: has a higher ceiling right now, and he definitely has

764
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 3: a higher floor than Hoveland, and so you put those

765
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 3: things together, it's hard to say Hoveland.

766
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 4: In any way is going to be better. But if

767
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 4: we sat here five years from now, in twenty twenty six, we.

768
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 3: Do this podcast again and we're like, ah, I told

769
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 3: you so it was hobbl I wouldn't be completely shocked either.

770
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 5: Would be a pretty good singles Ryder Cup match this year.

771
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 5: I'll sign up for the heat now, absolutely, yeah, no kidding,

772
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 5: all right. Number two, it was another week in contention

773
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 5: for brooks Kepka, despite fighting a nagging neck injury. Does

774
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 5: brooks Kopka And I'll give you this stat before I

775
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 5: ask you the question. He's eighty three under par in

776
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 5: majors since twenty sixteen. That is forty nine shots better

777
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 5: than any other player in that span. Does an inform

778
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 5: Kopka win a major in twenty twenty one.

779
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 3: I'm going to go with the law of averages and say, no,

780
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 3: he's won four of them.

781
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 5: I'm already influencing you. You're alread already getting math tied

782
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 5: into what you do. I mean, yeah, come on, I didn't.

783
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 5: I didn't even know that a count at ten before

784
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 5: you start coming on the pod. Now, I'm like, well,

785
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 5: his strokes gained in May majors.

786
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 3: No, I just think that law of averages at some

787
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 3: point even things out, And you know, some Justin Thomas

788
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 3: is better than a one major type player. At some

789
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 3: point he adds another one. John Rahm is not a

790
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 3: zero major type player at some point. Xander Schoffle get

791
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 3: so a lot of players. I mean, yeah, I'm wanna

792
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 3: say no for Brooks, but I will say this much

793
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 3: speaking of this subject, and only because.

794
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I know they've been out there forever.

795
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 3: But Jeff Sherman at Golf Odds on Twitter our friend

796
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 3: put out the Masters odds on Sunday night, after Moricow

797
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 3: had won, I'm sure Markaw's odds probably dipped a little bit.

798
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 3: And I was looking at them, and there was one

799
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 3: player who really really intrigues me at his current number

800
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 3: thirty to one, and you just said his name a

801
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 3: minute ago, Patrick Reid going back to Augusta.

802
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 4: The way he's hitting the ball with his short game,

803
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 4: and he's won there before.

804
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 3: I'm really I hate making a Master's call a month

805
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 3: and a half before the event. I always say, you know,

806
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 3: whenever people ask for the Master's pick, it's like, well,

807
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 3: what's the weather going to be? Like, who's informed? I

808
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 3: can't just give you a Master's pick in September for

809
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 3: the next April, and just you know, people think like, oh,

810
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 3: give me a Master's pick. Who's gonna win. It's like, well,

811
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 3: I want I have questions to ask you. If you're

812
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 3: gonna ask me a question right now. If I had

813
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 3: to make a futures play, if you said here's here's

814
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 3: one hundred bucks, you have to put it all in

815
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 3: one player as a futures bit for the masters, it

816
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 3: might be going on the guy that everyone loves to hate.

817
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 5: He just won against a really good field by six shots, right, yeah,

818
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 5: he won the Masters a couple of years ago. He's

819
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 5: arguably got the best short game on tour.

820
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 4: Thirty to one, thirty thirty is low. Man. That's by

821
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 4: the way, that question make a Master's pick?

822
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 5: That is the second most asked question to golf writers

823
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 5: on sports talk radio shows, the number one being is

824
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 5: Tiger Back?

825
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 4: Yeah?

826
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I also get a lot of who are the

827
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 3: really nice guys on tour?

828
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 5: And man, I don't have to numbers dorc that they

829
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 5: know on the top.

830
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true.

831
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 5: But yeah, when Tiger Back and you have a pick

832
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 5: for the Masters, it could be it could be November.

833
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 4: And I'll get that.

834
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 3: I think you're answer to both is no right now? Yea, No,

835
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 3: he's not back, And no, I don't have a pick

836
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 3: for you, okay.

837
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 5: Number three Jordan Speith is making his debut this week

838
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 5: at Bayhill. He's finished in the top top fifteen each

839
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 5: of his last three starts.

840
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 4: Yes or no.

841
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 5: A top ten finished for Jordan Speed this week in Orlando.

842
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 3: This is a bet on karma, and I know I

843
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 3: have some inside knowledge with some people at Bayhill that

844
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 3: in mister Palmer's final years he was a big fan

845
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 3: of how Jordan Speith played and he got to know

846
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 3: him a little bit, and he kept asking Jordan Speith

847
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 3: to play, and the people around him kept asking Jordan

848
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 3: Speed to play. And then even after mister Palmer had

849
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 3: passed away, the people who were running the tournament said, Hey,

850
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 3: a lot of people are coming out to honor mister

851
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 3: Palmer after he's passed away.

852
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,439
Speaker 4: Will you come play the tournament? And he never did.

853
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 4: And this is the first time he's played.

854
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 3: And as much as I like Jordan Speith moving forward,

855
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 3: as much as I've liked how he played in the

856
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 3: previous three weeks, that three week stretch of what fifth, third,

857
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 3: and fifteenth or whatever it was, there's some karma this week.

858
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 3: And mister Palmer, whether he's here or not, still rules

859
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 3: over this golf course, in this golf tournament. And I

860
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 3: don't think he's rooting for Jordan Speed this week.

861
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 5: Wow, it's cold, but I mean some.

862
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 4: Things he can't get well, sugarcoating it.

863
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 5: I asked you, I asked you if you want a

864
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 5: tough irons test, by the way, which is you know Speed,

865
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 5: He's put together some pretty good iron numbers over the

866
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 5: last three starts.

867
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 4: He's gonna get it this week.

868
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 5: This is a tougher test with the Irons than than Phoenix,

869
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 5: than Pebble Beach. I think it's it's gonna be a

870
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 5: tough week and or have never playing there before.

871
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 4: That's a lot to ask for a top ten finish

872
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 4: this week? All right?

873
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 5: So at Concession I mentioned the stat a couple of times.

874
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 5: Bryson posted his first positive strokes, game punting performance on

875
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 5: the PGA Tour since winning at wing Foot. Will Bryson

876
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 5: win between now and his US Open title defense at

877
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 5: Tory Pines? You talked about the tinkering. Yeah, you know

878
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 5: that's a factor. You know, is his body changing a

879
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 5: little bit? Is he dropping a little bit of weight?

880
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 5: Does that impact the distances? But the talent is still

881
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 5: you know, I'm the president, obviously, does he get a

882
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 5: win between now and when we head to San Diego?

883
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 3: I have been more bullish on Bryson over the last

884
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 3: couple of years than most people.

885
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 4: I think what a lot of people are.

886
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 3: Saying, Oh, he can't, you know, just bulk up and

887
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 3: swing as hard as he wants and hit it a

888
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 3: mile and think he's gonna win golf Dround'm like no, actually,

889
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 3: based on the stats, Like, yeah, that actually could and

890
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 3: should work. I mean it makes a lot of sense.

891
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 3: I like I said, I don't think he's in the

892
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 3: right space right now, but yeah, I will say that

893
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 3: he picks one off he plays.

894
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 4: In before the US Open. There's not a whole lot

895
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 4: of random ones. Just after the US Open.

896
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 3: He may play a three M Open or a Rocket

897
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 3: Mortgage Classic.

898
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 4: I was gonna say maybe.

899
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 5: The Buyer and Nelson at that new setup read.

900
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 4: Don't a lot.

901
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's not a whole lot of fields where he'll

902
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 3: be the favorite or close to it that he's playing

903
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 3: before the US Open. I will put an asterisk next

904
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 3: to your question and say he wins by the end

905
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 3: of the PGA Tour season.

906
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 4: Okay, fair enough. I might not have a fit cut

907
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 4: off point.

908
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 5: And I felt like the title defense.

909
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 4: For the US Open it was well played.

910
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 5: Yes, so you may have already answered this one early

911
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 5: in the podcast, but this is the one I wanted most.

912
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 5: Wanted your answer most for my fifth and final question,

913
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 5: got the home game this week Arnold Palmer Invitational. What

914
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 5: is your favorite memory with mister Palmer, whether personal, professional,

915
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 5: or otherwise.

916
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, how long do we have a few

917
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 3: of My first thoughts can't be said on air. Everybody listening,

918
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 3: buy me a beer someday and I might tell you

919
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 3: off the record, but yeah, I got to spend a

920
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 3: lot of time around mister Palmer. So when I was

921
00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 3: with ESPN, and for those listening, you might recall the

922
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 3: ESPN commercial where he's in the cafeteria and he makes

923
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 3: it Arnold Palmer and Scott.

924
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 4: Van Pelt and Stuart Scott are right near him're like, wow,

925
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 4: that was so cool.

926
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 3: My job that day was, as I mentioned earlier, picking

927
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 3: mister Palmer up at the airport.

928
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 4: I picked him up at the airport.

929
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 3: He flew his citation tin right into the private airspace

930
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 3: at at Bradley Airport in Hartford, Connecticut.

931
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 4: I picked him up, we drove to Bristol.

932
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,959
Speaker 3: I was no further than five feet away from him

933
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 3: for ten hours, and then drove him back to the

934
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 3: airport at the end of the day and we just

935
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 3: hung out all day.

936
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 4: And you know, I brought him over here.

937
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 3: And did a commercial shoot and brought him over here

938
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 3: and he did an interview with somebody, and we did this,

939
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 3: we did that. I blogged the entire day. I did

940
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 3: a live blog of hanging out with Arnold Palmer, and

941
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 3: you know, people like, what is how does he order

942
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 3: an Arnold Palmer?

943
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 4: If he wants to drink an Arnald Bamer? Does he say?

944
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 4: Can I have a meet?

945
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 5: This points to put a circle around his face, Go

946
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 5: this right here, that's what I want.

947
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 3: He's very humble, you know, mister Palmer say can you

948
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 3: get me an? Arnie was just and I liked that.

949
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 4: I was like, but like, hey, you know that Arnold Palmer.

950
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 4: That's me. Did I get one of those? No, it

951
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 4: just wasn't him. He also when I was with Golf

952
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 4: Channel when I just moved down to Orlando, he came

953
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 4: to the Golf Channel holiday party and my wife was

954
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 4: with me.

955
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 3: She was about eight and a half months pregnant, and

956
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 3: mister Palmer said, I to him, knew him somewhat well

957
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 3: at that point, and introduced him to my wife, and

958
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 3: he just looked at her with his big bellies.

959
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 4: You've been having some fun.

960
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 3: So we had some stories together. He honestly was for

961
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 3: for those who never got a chance to meet him

962
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 3: or spend some time around him. Certainly I knew him

963
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 3: less than a lot of other people, but I did

964
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 3: get a chance to spend some time around him, and yeah,

965
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 3: he was fantastic.

966
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 4: He really was. He treated at everyone as if he

967
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 4: was their best friend. And he would go into.

968
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 3: A room and he knew everyone was there to see him,

969
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 3: and everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of him, and

970
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:10,959
Speaker 3: everyone wanted to picture with him, and he.

971
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 4: Was happy to do it. He was just he was

972
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 4: the best. He really was.

973
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 3: He probably understood more so than anyone else. I think

974
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 3: Phil Micholson's obviously done a great job of this.

975
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 4: But.

976
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 3: I think that sometimes, you know, famous people either don't

977
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 3: realize or don't necessarily care that, hey, this is my

978
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 3: one time ever that this.

979
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 4: Person is going to see me. I'm going to make

980
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 4: an impression on them.

981
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 3: And sometimes people just say, look, I don't know, I'm

982
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 3: having a bad day, or you caught me in a

983
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 3: bad moment, and you know, someone walks away, go it

984
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 3: was like, kind of not that nice. And for the

985
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 3: next thirty years, every time that guy's on TV, he

986
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 3: wasn't that nice. Arnold Palmer made this great impression on

987
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 3: everybody every single time, which is.

988
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 4: Really hard to do. Absolutely, that's terrific. Stories. Man.

989
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 5: I knew you'd have a few, so I had to

990
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 5: figure This was as good a time of any to.

991
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 4: I was hoping to cry out.

992
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 5: The not safe for work ones, but yeah, off to

993
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 5: hitch you up on outside of the podcast.

994
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't do that, but now he was. He

995
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 4: was great.

996
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 3: Seeing him fly his plane in and literally like the

997
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 3: steps go down, I mean, and he was in the

998
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 3: pilots seat, his walks down. Hi, I'm Olo Palmer. I'm like, well, yeah,

999
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 3: I know it says it on your damn plane.

1000
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 4: He was great. He seriously was great.

1001
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 3: So we're gonna get to our DFS lineup in just

1002
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 3: a second, but first, we talked a lot on this

1003
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 3: podcast about finding an edge, putting the work in, finding

1004
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 3: opportunities and.

1005
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 4: Betting on them. And one easy way to lose your.

1006
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 3: Edge is to get absolutely hammered and start betting games.

1007
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 4: I don't know who they're talking about there, and that's.

1008
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 3: Why we want to tell you about our friends at

1009
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 3: Athletic Brewing Company. Athletic Brewing was founded by these two guys,

1010
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 3: Bill and John, who loved craft beer but realized the

1011
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 3: flavors they loved weren't always available and non alcoholic like

1012
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 3: at all, So they started Athletic Brewing and now they've

1013
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 3: won award as they've expanded their brewery.

1014
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 4: These guys are killing it.

1015
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 3: Athletic Brewing send us beers to drink, and because they're

1016
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 3: not an alcoholic, they're only fifty to seventy calories apiece.

1017
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 4: Actually, justin the you know this, they taste really good.

1018
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 3: So if you're looking at hammer a second half line

1019
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 3: without getting hammered yourself, these beers are.

1020
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 4: A great option.

1021
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,520

Speaker 5: Daddy drive to the hospital task. Yes, that are on

1033
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,000

1035

Speaker 4: Those, all right, me too?

1036
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love I love beer, I love non alcoholic

1037
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 3: beers good to have on a podcast, been in certain

1038
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 3: situations where the non alcoholic beer would have been better

1039
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 3: than the alcoholic beer in podcasting and other types of situations.

1040
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 4: I'll leave it at that, justin you can. You can

1041
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 4: use your imagination for the rest of it. We want

1042
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 4: to be a DFS millionaire.

1043
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: You're just one lineup away.

1044
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 3: We're gonna go with him, and you're gonna play better

1045
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 3: than you ever dreamed of.

1046
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 4: Goddamn it, that's what I demand of you. So let's

1047
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 4: get drafting. Let's get to our DFS lineup. We do

1048
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 4: it on the pod every single week.

1049
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 3: We'll go through draftings back and forth, pick six players

1050
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 3: based on our conversation earlier. I have a feeling we're

1051
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 3: just gonna pick like all of the players that we

1052
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 3: each like and just be on the same page with everything.

1053
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 4: But while you started off, and we'll see what we got.

1054
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 5: So when you build a lineup, do you like I

1055
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 5: usually go to the bottom first. I try to, and

1056
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 5: then I'm able to pluck out towards the end the

1057
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 5: guys who are a little bit more expensive, you know,

1058
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 5: So because I think the guys, the guys who as

1059
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 5: the bottom, that's where you're trying to find the most value,

1060
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 5: and that's kind of where you know you hone in

1061
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 5: on first. So the first guy I'm going with, I've

1062
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,720
Speaker 5: already talked about he's the best on tour from outside

1063
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 5: two hundred yards geting. Last season we talked about how

1064
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 5: significant that statistic is at Bay Hill. Will Gordon's just

1065
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 5: sixty five hundred dollars. I think there's that's gonna be

1066
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 5: a good player to round out the base of the

1067
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 5: team at the minimum makes the cut. I've got money

1068
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 5: on him this week's top ten. Maybe that's a little

1069
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 5: bit pie in the sky, but I think we started

1070
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 5: out with Will Gordon.

1071
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 3: I like the strategy. Uh me, personally, I have no strategy.

1072
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 3: I just like start like pressing buttons like, oh lineup,

1073
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 3: boom boom boo boo boom. Okay, he's got what strategy

1074
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 3: ever worked?

1075
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 5: I mean, especially not when I try to make an

1076
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 5: NFL line up because I'm there thirty minutes for kick

1077
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 5: and I'm picking defense first, thinking that's gonna help me

1078
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 5: and it never does. So, you know, but golf, I've

1079
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 5: had much more success over the years, and we'll start

1080
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 5: with Will Gordon. That also gives my steam partner the

1081
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 5: opportunity to go wherever he wants.

1082
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 3: At least with NFL, like you're stacking, okay, quarterback with

1083
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:07,760
Speaker 3: the receiver.

1084
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 4: I want that combo.

1085
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 3: And now I'm gonna go with a running back on

1086
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 3: a different team with maybe a low scoring, high grinded

1087
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 3: out kind of game. There's more factors, more variables in it.

1088
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 3: Golf is like man, pick guys and make lots of.

1089
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 4: Birdies and post good scores. It's like, all right, you

1090
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 4: got anything else for me? Hiding in next to the

1091
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 4: hole is good?

1092
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 5: Anyway, will gordon out of the gates first draft pick.

1093
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 3: I will stick with your strategy, and I will go

1094
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 3: with the guy that I mentioned that played really well

1095
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 3: on Sunday at the Concession. Good ball striking numbers only

1096
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 3: sixty seven hundred, which I think is a really good

1097
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 3: bargain for Sebastian Munos.

1098
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 5: Okay, Sebastian Munio's we got a lot of money left

1099
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 5: to play with. Yeah, going back towards the top of

1100
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 5: the board, let's go with the guy that we both loved.

1101
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 5: We said that he is our favorite outright play for

1102
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 5: the week. Back to back top tens in this tournament.

1103
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 5: Second strokes game total at bay Hill the last two

1104
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 5: years had another good week. A concession been informed Matt

1105
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 5: Fitzpatrick ninety eight hundred. That's a little more money than

1106
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 5: I'd like to spend from Mat Fitzpatrick. But he's proven

1107
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 5: himself to be a little bit different player last month

1108
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 5: than he has been the rest of his career.

1109
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, everything's a little too much on fits

1110
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 3: this week. I was hoping the odds would be somewhere

1111
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 3: around thirty to one instead twenty five. I was hoping

1112
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 3: his DFS price was nine thousands ninety seven. But it's

1113
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 3: I still love the play and I'm not going to

1114
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 3: shy away based on the number next to it. For

1115
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 3: my VIC I'll spend a little money here. This is

1116
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 3: a guy we didn't really speak about, but I I

1117
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 3: have a feeling you'll like him.

1118
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 4: I know you called him out a few weeks ago.

1119
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 3: Riviera obviously won this golf tournament the last time he

1120
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 3: played two years ago and didn't play last year. But

1121
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 3: Francesco Molinari tears up this golf course. His record here

1122
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 3: is fantastic, never outside the top thirty five, and he's

1123
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 3: had a bunch of top.

1124
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 4: Ten finishes and he's trending in the right direction.

1125
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 3: So I think it's all sort of moving in the

1126
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 3: right direction for Francesco Molinari to play well this week.

1127
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,359
Speaker 5: You like that, I'm with you, And I mentioned that

1128
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 5: Rory leads every statistic basically the last five years at

1129
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 5: this golf course. Francesco's second basically and everything. So I

1130
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 5: think that's a good price for him. Didn't you know

1131
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 5: he had a good week at Riviera a couple of

1132
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 5: weeks ago. I liked him as the super underdog before

1133
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 5: My Power went out that because he was a new

1134
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,439
Speaker 5: member there. But really his form has been getting better

1135
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 5: and he's looking more like the player who won the

1136
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 5: Open Championship a couple of years ago and less like

1137
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:33,919
Speaker 5: the guy who has kind of had his life thrown

1138
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 5: into a tornado like so many people had did during

1139
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 5: the the COVID stuff from last year. So I like

1140
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 5: the play and we've got a good amount of money left.

1141
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 5: I'm gonna leave you with some change on the back end,

1142
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 5: not just Nicholson Douns. I think you're gonna have some

1143
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 5: some money left to play with because I'm gonna stick

1144
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 5: with the guy I picked to be the first round

1145
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 5: leader because of how good he's gotten out of.

1146
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:56,760
Speaker 4: The gates nearly one at Riviera.

1147
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 5: I really like his game a lot. I really think

1148
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 5: Sam Burns, especially those numbers I talked about in terms

1149
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 5: of his putting in Florida on these types of green complexes.

1150
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 5: Sam Burns at eighty four hundred, that probably that's.

1151
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 4: Probably a little more money again than I'd like to

1152
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 4: spend for Sam Burns.

1153
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,240
Speaker 5: But this is kind of a maybe a slightly weaker

1154
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 5: field at Bayhill than that we're used to seeing in

1155
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 5: years past with kind of the newer schedule. So let's

1156
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 5: go Sam Burns at eighty four hundred, and that's going.

1157
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 4: To give you ninety nine hundred left, ninety nine hundred left.

1158
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 4: First of all, I like Burns a lot.

1159
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,760
Speaker 3: With ninety nine hundred, that leaves the highest priced player

1160
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 3: available at ninety seven hundred. Now, sometimes you want to

1161
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 3: dig a little deeper. You don't necessarily want to spend

1162
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,320
Speaker 3: all the money, you know, you want to think about things.

1163
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 3: Sometimes you can overthink things. The guy at ninety seven

1164
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 3: hundred is Sun JM. Who happens to have a record

1165
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 3: of third third at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. And as

1166
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 3: you mentioned earlier and as I stole from your article

1167
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 3: on pjtour dot Com last week he leads the tour

1168
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 3: in strokes gained in Florida. What is that over the

1169
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 3: last couple of years, last four years?

1170
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 4: Four years? Okay?

1171
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 3: So I mean, yes, I could bypass Sung Jay for

1172
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 3: a DECI or a Jordan or a Jason Day.

1173
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 4: I don't love any of those guys.

1174
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 3: If I was gonna do it, i'd go, I guess

1175
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 3: down to Tommy Fleetwood at nine thousand. If I really

1176
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,720
Speaker 3: wanted to differentiate and leave nine hundred dollars out there.

1177
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 4: I don't. I want to go with some JM. I'm

1178
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 4: not gonna overthink it.

1179
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 3: There's our lineup, Sam Barnes, Matt Fitzpatrick, Will Gordon, Sung JM,

1180
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:35,720
Speaker 3: Francesco Molinari, and Sebastian Munos.

1181
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 4: I really like it.

1182
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 5: I mean every week, every week we're gonna come up

1183
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 5: with this and we're gonna look at it and say

1184
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 5: that is gold is that is a million maker winner

1185
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 5: right there lock of him.

1186
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 3: I may use this lineup as sort of a base

1187
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 3: and I don't know if other people out there do it,

1188
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 3: but use this one, have these six guys, and then

1189
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 3: do another one where I take out Munos for a

1190
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 3: Matt Wallace, and I take out m for a Tommy

1191
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,919
Speaker 3: Fleetwood or something like that, and keep the other four

1192
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 3: guys there and then play around with it and keep

1193
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 3: four other ones and take two others out.

1194
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 4: But I think this is a good strong base of.

1195
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 3: A couple of high priced guys, a couple of mid

1196
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 3: tier guys, a couple of lower guys that I think

1197
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 3: could really work this week.

1198
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 4: Let's make some money. That's the whole point. We're trying

1199
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 4: to make some money around here. So Jay Ray, thanks
