More on Underdog in its golf contest 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: a little bit later, Jonathan Vegas wins. 22 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: The three M Open. 23 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: It was the first PGA Tour win in seven years 24 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: for the notoriously streaky Johnny Vegas, who's dealt with elbow 25 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: and shoulder injuries the last couple of years, and he 26 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: had to sweat it out until the very end. Bow 27 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: Vegas frier to sixty three on Saturday to take the 28 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: league going into the final round. Matt Kocher started Sunday 29 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: one shot back. Maverick McNeely was two shots back, but 30 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: it was rookie Max Grazerman who really dialed up the 31 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: heat on Vegas in the final round. Grazerman shot a 32 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: final round sixty three and was six under par on 33 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: the back nine. Vegas was even par through the first 34 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: seventeen holes of his last round, and he and Grazerman 35 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: were tied when Johnny Vegas stepped to the tee on 36 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: number eighteen. The eighteenth hole at TPC Twin Cities is 37 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: a reachable par five. Vegas did reach it in two, 38 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,559 Speaker 1: but he was just barely on the green feet away 39 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: from the hole. 40 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: Needed to get down in two. 41 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: For the win and had a great lag putt to 42 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: three feet cleaned it up for the victory, ending his 43 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: long drought. Vegas is now inside the top seventy in 44 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: the FedEx Cup points standing, so he's now positioned to 45 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs in a couple of weeks. 46 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: Max Grazerman also moved inside the top seventy. Matt Coocher 47 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: and Maverick McNeely both finished tied for third two shots 48 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: back bow. Any takeaways from the three M. 49 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 3: Open, apparently we know nothing because Johnny Vegas. I mean, 50 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 3: I've had good success over the years betting the three 51 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 3: M Open. I'll admit I won two years ago when 52 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 3: Tony Fena one, and it just seemed like there's a 53 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: there's a prototype, there's a streaky hot putter who can 54 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 3: get off the tee really well, who can hit it 55 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 3: close on approach. And Johnny Vegas is good off the tee. 56 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,119 Speaker 3: He's one of the best drivers of the golf ball 57 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 3: in the world. But he's one hundred and fifty six 58 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 3: then putting, he was ninetieth then proximity on approach in 59 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 3: this field, which isn't a very good field. So I 60 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 3: had no indication that Johnny Vegas would win this week. 61 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 3: A couple people did have him as a long shot. 62 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 3: He was ninety to one for a lot of books, 63 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 3: and he was on my radar. Gray Zerman wasn't. Really 64 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 3: nobody that made any noise was on my radar because 65 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 3: they were all guys who had played pretty badly all season, 66 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: except for the guys that we thought were going to 67 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 3: play well who were playing well, and they all played 68 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 3: terribly this week and they didn't even contend, So we 69 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 3: know nothing. That's that's my takeaway from the Three M 70 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: Open is sometimes golf, whether you're playing it or betting 71 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 3: on it, will tell you that you know nothing. And 72 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 3: don't take it too personally because next time you go 73 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: out there and do it, you might look like a genius. 74 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was about it. 75 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: Johnny Vegas like he's he's always a threat to have 76 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: that great week, but it had been so long since 77 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: he had seriously contended anywhere. 78 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 3: He tried to give it away too. He really did 79 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 3: try to give that one away with the putter, and 80 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 3: it was the putter that saved him at the end. 81 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 3: That ninety six foot lag putt was incredible and I 82 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 3: was thinking, like, Oh, anybody else, I'm thinking, Oh, it's 83 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 3: not that bad. If he goes to a playoff. I 84 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 3: probably think he could beat Gracerman, but with him as 85 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 3: bad of a putter as he is, I was like, well, 86 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 3: this is this isn't even a good bet for that 87 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 3: that three putt and from that far away, and he 88 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: lagged it up there perfectly. And so we know nothing. 89 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: We know absolutely nothing. These guys are all really good. 90 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 3: They all have the ability to win a golf tournament. 91 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 3: It just took Johnny Vegas seven years to get another one. 92 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 1: And good for him, gets into the FedEx Cup playoffs 93 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: where there's a lot of money, gets his master's ticket 94 00:04:53,600 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: punched for twenty twenty five. Good job, Johnny Vegas. Yes, sir, 95 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: we will get to the Olympic golf in just a minute. 96 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: But first, our friends at Underdog Fantasy are letting you 97 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: make picks on your favorite golfers all season long.

Maybe speak for yourself. The teams 114 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: I was watching are all from NorCal because we just 115 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 3: take a little more seriously around here. We're a bad 116 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 3: minton community. 117 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: The Olympic golf competition will play out as a sixty 118 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: man tournament, beginning early Thursday morning and ending on Sunday. 119 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: The field is determined by official World Golf rankings, with 120 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: no more than four players from any single country in 121 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: the competition. 122 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: It's seventy two holes. 123 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: Stroke play, no cots, with gold, silver and bronze medals 124 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: awarded at the end. Ties for any of the metal 125 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: spots will be broken with a sudden death playoff. So 126 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: basically it is a conventional golf tournament with a field 127 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: similar to the size of the fields we've seen in 128 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: elevated events on the PGA Tour This year at the 129 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: Olympic Games in Tokyo that were held in twenty twenty 130 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: one rather than twenty twenty because of COVID nineteen Xanderschoffley 131 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: won the gold rory, Sabatini won silver, and ct Pan 132 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:58,799 Speaker 1: won bronze. The host course is Legolf Nacional, just outside 133 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: of Paris. Course hosted the I Try. This course hosted 134 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen Ryder Cup, won by the European team, 135 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: and also hosts the DP World Tours Open de France. 136 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: Leagolf Nacional is a par seventy one that plays two 137 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: seven and seventy four yards. Not a long course, but 138 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: it's a pretty tight course, so the emphasis will be 139 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: on accuracy off the tea rather than distance. The greens 140 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: are big and fast, and there's some water that comes 141 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: into play, especially. 142 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 2: The last four holes. The last two. 143 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 1: Holes are extremely demanding. Par four is measuring four hundred 144 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: and eighty and four hundred and seventy one yards. There 145 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: are a lot of mounds on this course. It kind 146 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: of looks like a pet Die Stadium course a little bit. 147 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 2: So both of you, have you studied this course? 148 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: Like what will players need to do to find success 149 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: at Legolf Nacional. 150 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I really do agree with that Pete Die kind 151 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 3: of comp there. It's not like Sagrass where you really 152 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 3: do have to think you're a way more of like 153 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 3: your positional strategic accuracy based course distance is not going 154 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 3: to give you an advantage on this course, but accuracy 155 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 3: really does, especially on approach and being that it is 156 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 3: a second shot golf course. A lot of them on 157 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 3: the PGA Tour all as well. But the ability to 158 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 3: get close to the pin and score on this golf 159 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 3: course will come down to iron play, and that's gonna 160 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 3: be very important, especially on that finishing stretch where you 161 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 3: get some really tough approach shots, especially on seventeen and 162 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 3: eighteen where you're gonna be hitting mid irons. For most 163 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 3: of these guys, it really does balance the field out. 164 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 3: Just like we saw Sabatini and Ctpan get medals three 165 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 3: years ago in Tokyo, we might see some more of 166 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 3: those deep shots kind of make noise, even though the 167 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 3: field this year is a lot stronger than it was 168 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 3: in Tokyo.

All odds courtesy of DraftKings as 196 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: of late Monday afternoon. Scotti Scheffler no surprise, He's the 197 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: favorite at plus three sixty Xanders Schoffley is plus five 198 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: point fifty. Rory McElroy plus seven fifty. John Rahm freshoff 199 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: will live to her victory is plus one thousand, Colin 200 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: Morikawa plus eleven hundred, Ludwig Oberg plus twelve hundred, Tommy 201 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: Fleetwood plus two thousand, Shane Lowry and Joaquin Neeman plus 202 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: twenty two hundred, Victor Hoblind and Tom Kim plus twenty 203 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: five hundred, Alex Norn plus twenty eight hundred, and Canadian 204 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: Corey Connors plus three thousand. Which of the favorites do 205 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: you like both? 206 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 3: Well? I did and it's a second shot golf course, 207 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 3: and who's the best approach player in the world. That 208 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 3: would be Scotty Scheffler plus three sixty to win a 209 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 3: medal or to win the gold medal. I'll take Scotty 210 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 3: Scheffler in spades. And then obviously none of these guys 211 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 3: are bad. I'm gonna a little bit of a fade 212 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 3: on Rory McElroy because of the way the course sets up. 213 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 3: He doesn't have that bomber's advantage that he usually gets. 214 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 3: But Xander Schoffley's all around game is so solid and 215 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 3: he's his form is so good. I wouldn't fault you 216 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 3: for betting plus five fifty on Xander, although that's a 217 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 3: little short for my liking rom a little short for 218 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 3: my liking too. Colin Morikawa is a screaming value at 219 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 3: plus eleven hundred on this golf course. This is the 220 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: second best approach player on the planet in my eyes, 221 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,719 Speaker 3: so Scheffler, Calin more Kawa. Team USA is going to 222 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 3: be so strongly the ability for I think that TUSA 223 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 3: is going to sweep the podium. That's that's my prediction. 224 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 3: And so if you can find a nice little bet 225 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 3: to do that with I don't know if there's a 226 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 3: line out there for that, but if you can find 227 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 3: a line for USA sweeping gold, silver and bronze, I 228 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 3: would take it. That's that's gonna have some pretty good 229 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 3: odds too. It because Scottie Xander Colin what a trio. 230 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: No Wyndham Clark on the metal stand for the USA 231 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: and your vision of how this plays out. No chance 232 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: we'll get to him in a bit. Yeah, So Shoffley, 233 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: I do wonder if there's a little bit of a 234 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: malaise for him after the two majors, you know, already 235 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: having that Olympic gold, it would be great for him 236 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: to win another one. He'll probably be playing free and 237 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: easy and maybe that's a good thing for him. And 238 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: you know, bo, I'm sort of interested in Rory McElroy 239 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: with the premium on driving on this course. Maybe it 240 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: feels like he has a little something to prove after 241 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: missing the cut at the Open Championship. Had been in 242 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: really fine form before Royal Troon sort of beat him 243 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: up a little bit, and Rory's got some experience on 244 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: this course. He went two and three in his Ryder 245 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: Cup matches here in twenty eighteen, lost to Justin Thomas 246 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: and the singles one up, and he finished third at 247 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: the Open Defrance here in twenty sixteen. I'm with you 248 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: on Kalamarkawa. Bo finished sixteenth or better in eight straight events, 249 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: and you'd think his precision ball striking would play really 250 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: well at Le Gulf Nacional. Tommy Fleetwood and Alex Norin 251 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: maybe some guys. Well, they're both past winners of the 252 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: Open Defrance, but neither is exactly known as a great closer, 253 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: so I can see I would imagine that you bow 254 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: are shying away from both guys since they don't win 255 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: very often. All right, let's talk about some of the 256 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: mid range options we've got. Hideki Matzi jan I'm at 257 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: plus thirty five. 258 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, at Alex Norn is Yeah, you. 259 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 2: Want to add on Alex Norin. 260 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. I was just going to say, Alex Norn's a 261 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 3: great guy if you need to make a cut, but 262 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 3: there's no cut at this event. And I believe Tommy 263 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 3: Fleetwood's last win as a professional was at Le Gulf nac. 264 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: I did not realize that was his last victory. All right, 265 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: let's look at the mid range options we've got. Hadeki 266 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: Matsuyama at plus thirty five hundred. 267 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 3: Minwu twenty seventeen. 268 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: Twenty seventeen. Wow, that's the last time Tommy Fleetwood won. 269 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: My goodness, all right, Minwu Lee plus four thousand. 270 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 3: I'm not exactly sure, but it's one of the last times. 271 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: Let's look at the mid range options. Hadeki Matsuyama is 272 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: plus thirty five hundred, Minwu Lee plus four thousand, Sepstraca 273 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: and Matt Fitzpatrick plus forty five hundred, Jason Day ben 274 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: On and Thomas Dietrie plus fifty five hundred, Christian Bazunahaut 275 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: plus sixty five hundred, and Matthew playing in his home 276 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: nation plus seven thousand. Does anyone from this group appeal 277 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: to you both? 278 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 3: I don't really like this scroup at all. I'm gonna 279 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 3: stick to the favorites for most of this. I'm gonna 280 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 3: take some deep shots. But I guess d Tree, as 281 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 3: a Belgian kind of appeals here because there's a local 282 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 3: favoritism there. He's played the Gulf Nasional many times before. 283 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 3: D Tree interests me at fifty five to one. But 284 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 3: that whole group is of players I don't see winning 285 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 3: a medal, so I'm probably gonna shy away from most 286 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,239 Speaker 3: of them. 287 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 288 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: Matsuyama head back to back top tens at the Memorial 289 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: in US Open, but hasn't fared well in Europe over 290 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: the last month. Missed the cut at the Scottish Open 291 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: with sixty six at the Open Championship. Wyndham Clark we 292 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: mentioned him earlier, terrific putter, but he does not drive 293 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: the ball all that accurately, so this doesn't seem like 294 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: a place where Wyndam Clark would shine. Matt Fitzpatrick known 295 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: for precise ball striking and reliable putting, but not really 296 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: this year. He's finished thirty sixth or worse in six 297 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: of his last seven events. What about long shots? Is 298 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: there anyone you like at seventy five to one or 299 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: longer odds? 300 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 3: Bow The Frenchman that I'm going to play is Victor 301 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 3: Perez at ninety to one. I like Mattieu Pavon, but 302 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 3: I prefer Victor Perez at his odds. Victor Perez is 303 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 3: better set up for this golf course. He's a really 304 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 3: good iron player, he can get hot. And I'm also 305 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 3: going to take a spot at a shot at the 306 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 3: Spaniard David Pooche one hundred and twenty to one. Another 307 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 3: guy who's fit for this golf course is really nice. 308 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 3: He's a very accurate player, great short game, and don't 309 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 3: be surprised if Mito Pereira from Chile makes a little 310 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 3: noise at one hundred and fifty to one. We haven't 311 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 3: heard that name in a while. 312 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: I am sort of intrigued by New Zealander Ryan Fox 313 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: at eighty to one. I mean, he's finished top twenty 314 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: five and four of his last nine events, and he's 315 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: played the Open to France five times, although he's missed 316 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: the cut in the last two appearances. All right, bo 317 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: let's talk betting cards. Where are you putting your money. 318 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 3: I'm going to take a double dip on Scottie Scheffler 319 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 3: as a winner. I'm going to take a shot at 320 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 3: Colin Morikawa at plus eleven hundred, and I'm going to 321 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 3: throw a little bit more down the pike at my guy, 322 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 3: oh sorry, Victor Perez. And I'm going to take small 323 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 3: dips at David Pooge and Mito Pereda. But the main, 324 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 3: the main bet I'm gonna be looking for is that 325 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 3: podium trifecta. 326 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: The triple USA finish. Nice that would be something else. 327 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to bet Rory at plus seven point fifty. 328 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to bet Colin Morikawa. Write with you, Bo, 329 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: that's maybe the bet I feel strongest about it. Plus 330 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: eleven hundred and just one more.
