Speaker 1: I miss the green. For example, I'm already upset. When
Speaker 1: I find my ball in the bunker, I'm really upset.
Speaker 1: And when I find my ball.
Speaker 2: In a fried egg Frida egg, the dreaded Friday Egg,
Speaker 2: Frida Egg, Frida egg, fried Egg, Frida egg, bride egg Lie,
Speaker 2: I'm about ready to run off the golf course.
Speaker 3: Arnold Palmer is the Master's friend of nineteen. He has
Speaker 3: buddy the last two holes to catch, and that bove
Speaker 3: ahead of catch that Jory?
Speaker 1: What are then say? That? Money? Ways golf? I mean,
Speaker 1: have anybody you haven't ever seen that? An't play up
Speaker 1: the hell you ever like that?
Speaker 3: And I think that's one of the greatest funny I've
Speaker 3: ever seen in Friday Night.
Speaker 1: Maybe yes, sir, there it is.
Speaker 3: You believe it? Heckw no, there it is a.
Speaker 1: Win for the ages? Is it his time here? It comes?
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, oh wow?
Speaker 1: In your life? Have you seen anything like that?
Speaker 3: Hello? Friends, I'm jim NANTZ is my great pleasure to
Speaker 3: welcome you to the Master's Tournament.
Speaker 1: I've heard it said before. It's a tradition unlike any other.
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another edition of the
Speaker 3: Fried Egg podcast. It is Masters week, so we have
Speaker 3: Paulli from Polly's Picks coming on to help us all
Speaker 3: with our Master's pools, DraftKings one and Done leagues. You know,
Speaker 3: this is the week where everybody has a chance to
Speaker 3: win a million dollars on DraftKings. So Pollie, welcome on.
Speaker 1: Hei. What's up Andy?
Speaker 3: Not much, man, just busy week and ready to I'm
Speaker 3: excited for it. And you know, it's crazy this year
Speaker 3: with how many you know, people are peaking going into
Speaker 3: the tournament, and it makes picking for one and done
Speaker 3: and all these things really tough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2: It's one of those like a perfect storm scenario where
Speaker 2: you couldn't imagine having this many people playing good coming
Speaker 2: into Augusta and this many good storylines. It's literally like
Speaker 2: a script out of a movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you think legitimate winners like you know,
Speaker 3: in term, I think there's probably about twenty guys where
Speaker 3: if you told me, hey, Tommy Fleetwood won, I wouldn't
Speaker 3: be surprised. What do you think where do you think
Speaker 3: it goes down to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's about fifteen to twenty that would win.
Speaker 2: But I think this is one of the unique years
Speaker 2: to where there's about eight or ten guys that you
Speaker 2: could tell me win by four or five shots.
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't be deprised.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just because when the guys are on fire, like
Speaker 2: when Justin Thomas gets on on fire, or when DJ
Speaker 2: gets on fire, or you know, or Jason Day right,
Speaker 2: when those guys are the top of their game, they
Speaker 2: can win an event by four or five especially.
Speaker 1: In a major.
Speaker 3: I agree. I think if we will be treated to
Speaker 3: an unbelievable Sunday, if we could get two or three
Speaker 3: of those guys playing at the top end of their
Speaker 3: game and see a real shootout, it'll be really a
Speaker 3: fascinating masters to watch.
Speaker 1: So with.
Speaker 3: All eyes on golf for you know, the biggest week
Speaker 3: of the year, tons of people are playing pools, and
Speaker 3: I think the pools really mirror DraftKings pretty well in
Speaker 3: the sense of, you know a lot of people like
Speaker 3: to pick the same guys. So what's your strategy going
Speaker 3: into DraftKings or say big office pulls or big friend pools.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So if I'm trying to, you know, win a
Speaker 2: big pool, whether it's on you know, winning a millionaire
Speaker 2: maker on DraftKings or winning a pool where there's let's
Speaker 2: say maybe one hundred entries. I'm gonna try to figure
Speaker 2: out who I think everyone is gonna pick, and then
Speaker 2: maybe I'll take a slightly like low roun guy. So,
Speaker 2: for example, like if you think Jordan Speed's gonna be,
Speaker 2: you know, the highest elected player in your office pool,
Speaker 2: you may want to pick you know, somebody else in
Speaker 2: that tier just because you're gonna have a better chance
Speaker 2: to win, most likely if you're not playing Speed at
Speaker 2: that point, Do.
Speaker 3: You expect Speed to be the highest owned player or
Speaker 3: do you think it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: What he did today in Houston? I would think so yes.
Speaker 2: With him finishing third there and putting miserably, I think
Speaker 2: he's going to be the highest owned guy in most
Speaker 2: of the pools and possibly even on draftings this week.
Speaker 3: I feel like the third place finish for Speak there
Speaker 3: was like the ideal finish. You don't want to win
Speaker 3: that week because it's so hard to win back to
Speaker 3: back tournaments and nobody's ever won in Houston and then
Speaker 3: won in at Augusta. But a third place ideal, right, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2: And then the way that Speed did it too, I
Speaker 2: mean he lost three shots on the greens this week
Speaker 2: in Houston and finished third.
Speaker 3: Are you worried at all given that you know he
Speaker 3: entered the week I think one hundred and seventy second
Speaker 3: in strokes game putting.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I mean, based on some of the interviews he's had
Speaker 2: in the past regarding Augusta, he just is able to
Speaker 2: see the lines very well in those greens and just
Speaker 2: feels comfortable. And if he just has a marginal putting week,
Speaker 2: he's going to be in the contention and the back
Speaker 2: nine on Sunday.
Speaker 3: Mm hm. So, so, Spith, you're expecting going to be
Speaker 3: the highest down player, who would you say, kind of
Speaker 3: if if you're looking at we'll say Rory Tiger, Speth,
Speaker 3: Justin Thomas, dj as kind of this this upper echelon,
Speaker 3: I guess you could throw Jason Day in there. I
Speaker 3: feel like Justin Rose could be in that section. How
Speaker 3: would you rank those those top tier options if you
Speaker 3: were picking a you're talking.
Speaker 1: In regards to draft kings or for like office.
Speaker 3: Pools, let's say we'll say each Okay, So if we're.
Speaker 2: Looking at DraftKings where it's you know, a salary based
Speaker 2: approach where you have Dustin Johnson is the highest priced guy.
Speaker 1: By a good amount. He's at eleven four hundred.
Speaker 2: I think he's not going to get picked a lot
Speaker 2: because people are going to go down and play Jordan
Speaker 2: Speed at ten thousand, four hundred, or they'll even play
Speaker 2: Tiger at ten thousand or even you know, similar priced
Speaker 2: players of Rory or Jason Day. So I think DJ
Speaker 2: goes a little a little bit under owned up there,
Speaker 2: maybe only owned by ten or fifteen percent of people.
Speaker 2: And DJ is a heck of a player and can
Speaker 2: make a lot of birdies and eagles, which is good
Speaker 2: for draftings scoring.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's true. I mean a thousand bucks and
Speaker 3: the field is small, so I you can make it
Speaker 3: up on the back end with some good low priced players, right, definitely.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 3: So so you like DJ of this top tier and say, say,
Speaker 3: you know, I know a lot of people will put
Speaker 3: one hundred bucks in and do five of these entries.
Speaker 3: How would you how do you strategize with going with
Speaker 3: like when you do multiple entries for these things, do
Speaker 3: you try and do you have a core group of
Speaker 3: guys or do you try and checker a couple, you know,
Speaker 3: different lineups together.
Speaker 2: Sure, I can kind of talk about the strategy I
Speaker 2: do for the for the large events like this. So
Speaker 2: this week we have the Millionaire Make Around DraftKings, which
Speaker 2: it's a twenty dollars entry, million dollar first place prize,
Speaker 2: and I think second place is like one hundred and
Speaker 2: ftwy thousands, So you're pretty much putting twenty dollars in
Speaker 2: trying to hit the jackpot for a million dollars. And
Speaker 2: with that thought in mind, you want to have a
Speaker 2: unique lineup because there's over two hundred thousand entries in
Speaker 2: this so with only you know, eighty something guys in
Speaker 2: the field, you're gonna have a lot of lineups that
Speaker 2: are duplicated to where you may put a lineup in
Speaker 2: with a bunch of guys that are very popular, and
Speaker 2: eighty other people had the exact same lineup, And I
Speaker 2: think that's a problem you can run into.
Speaker 1: Andreo ju agree.
Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, a couple of years ago, I was like,
Speaker 3: when Speeth had that horrible, disastrous quadruple, I was in
Speaker 3: like seventh place in this thing, but I was another
Speaker 3: guy had the exact same lineup as I did, and
Speaker 3: I was watching myself go up there and I was like,
Speaker 3: oh man, somebody else has the same lineup. They made
Speaker 3: a seven, which made it completely moot, but you know,
Speaker 3: you could see it when you get up there, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: there's there's some I mean, one player makes all the
Speaker 3: difference between first and what fiftieth sometimes exactly.
Speaker 2: And so one of the strategies I'll do this week
Speaker 2: is we have a fifty thousand dollar budget on DraftKings,
Speaker 2: and the pricing is pretty soft in terms of, you know,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of guys down that are valuable with
Speaker 2: the lower end that you can you can play or
Speaker 2: even in the middle range to where I'm not going
Speaker 2: to use all fifty thousand because a lot of people
Speaker 2: will fill out a lineup and they get to their
Speaker 2: last guy and say, hey, I got eight guys eighty
Speaker 2: eight hundred. He's gonna spend that eighty eight hundred on
Speaker 2: a player that's pretty close to that price range, whereas
Speaker 2: I'm gonna probably go down and leave myself five six,
Speaker 2: seven hundred dollars and choose somebody, you know, around eight thousand,
Speaker 2: just because it's going to provide me a unique lineup
Speaker 2: to where you know, I may have the same five
Speaker 2: players as somebody else, but I'm not gonna be duplicating
Speaker 2: their lineup because of that, and you can have some
Speaker 2: players that maybe a difference between choosing let's say, instead
Speaker 2: of taking Paul Casey, you take Adam Scott, which in
Speaker 2: reality is a big difference between the players.
Speaker 3: That's a great point. I mean, it's hard when you
Speaker 3: got money to not spend it, and in this case,
Speaker 3: you're saying, don't spend all your money because it'll give
Speaker 3: you more chance of being unique.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 2: So I mean you could end up having winning the
Speaker 2: Millionaire Maker and having fifty people tie you, and maybe
Speaker 2: you end up getting like thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: What do you think you would have won a million?
Speaker 3: That would be an ultimate buzz kill exactly. Yeah, So
Speaker 3: getting into kind of some players you like, So, as
Speaker 3: we talked about earlier, there's say fifteen guys that fifteen
Speaker 3: to twenty guys that could legitimately win this thing. And
Speaker 3: then with DraftKings, which are the of the top tier,
Speaker 3: say eighty three hundred guys or eight thousand above, who
Speaker 3: are the guys you like?
Speaker 1: So the guys that like.
Speaker 2: There, I think one guy that'll fly under the radar
Speaker 2: a little bit is Hadeki Manciyama. So Manziama's down at
Speaker 2: eighty four hundred, and I think a lot of people
Speaker 2: won't play him because the last time they kind of
Speaker 2: saw him or heard from him, he was injured withdrew
Speaker 2: from the Waste Management Phoenix. But since then he's come
Speaker 2: back played. He played twice at Bay Hill and WGC
Speaker 2: and from all reports I've heard, he's back healthy and
Speaker 2: he tends to play pretty good here at Augusta, with
Speaker 2: a lot of high finishes and has that high towering
Speaker 2: you know, iron game, which is perfect for a lot
Speaker 2: of the approaches into the greens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think one of the things I look for
Speaker 3: with Augusta picks in general is iron play. So I
Speaker 3: think the best iron players play the best at Augusta
Speaker 3: because of the way the course is set up, where
Speaker 3: the approach shots have, you know, very little room for ara.
Speaker 3: You know, they ask you to hit these great approach shots,
Speaker 3: and you know, typically what you see is the guys
Speaker 3: that regularly have success at Augusta are some of the
Speaker 3: best iron players. So you look at Paul Casey, three
Speaker 3: straight top sixes, He's one of the best iron players
Speaker 3: in the world. Justin Rose one of the best iron
Speaker 3: players in the world. Phil Mickelson best, one of the
Speaker 3: best iron players in the world, Tiger Woods, you know,
Speaker 3: so on and so forth, and Hideki Matsuyama is one
Speaker 3: of the best iron players in the world. So I
Speaker 3: definitely like Matsi exactly.
Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more because it's not necessarily about hitting
Speaker 2: it close with the irons. That's hitting in the correct
Speaker 2: area on the greens. And so when the guys are
Speaker 2: miss hit that aren't good with the irons are missing it.
Speaker 2: They're missing it in spots to where they can't get
Speaker 2: up and down, and that's where the bogies creep in.
Speaker 2: If you look at guys that have won in the past,
Speaker 2: it's by eliminating bogies, not by making twenty five birdies.
Speaker 3: Well, I think one of the things with that too
Speaker 3: is that a guess that has a lot of uneven lies.
Speaker 3: So what you get with those uneven lies is it
Speaker 3: it just it makes it harder hit the right number.
Speaker 3: So the the great iron players separate themselves even more
Speaker 3: because it's just you know, they're they're more talented and
Speaker 3: it's a tougher situation. So I think like a couple
Speaker 3: of places that mirror that are Kapalua Pebble has some
Speaker 3: pretty uneven fairways. Memorial even John Deere and Barracuda are
Speaker 3: a couple other ones that are some of the most
Speaker 3: undulating pharaways on tour.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So then if you're looking at like your office pool,
Speaker 3: obviously it's a little bit different and you're dealing with
Speaker 3: like a different kind of subset. Where where where could
Speaker 3: you I I generally think my strategy and you tell
Speaker 3: me if this is right or wrong. You're you know,
Speaker 3: I think that when I'm in my friend's pools, no
Speaker 3: offense to any friends listening or in office pools. What
Speaker 3: happens is there's a lot of people that don't know
Speaker 3: what they're doing, so they go after the big names,
Speaker 3: and if you pick some guys that are playing well
Speaker 3: that are a little bit lesser known names, you usually
Speaker 3: have a lot of success.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think the big advantage on the office pools isn't
Speaker 2: necessarily with like your top pick, because a lot of
Speaker 2: times you're just put in little pods, so they'll see
Speaker 2: the top like ten guys in one pod. It's about
Speaker 2: differentiating in other pods to where you may pick somebody
Speaker 2: like example, like a Tommy Fleetwood, to where you know
Speaker 2: a person that watches a lot of golf is going
Speaker 2: to know them. But a casual golfan that just watches
Speaker 2: the majors isn't going to know that much about Fleetwood.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So with DraftKings and starting to bounce back to this,
Speaker 3: anybody you like outside of DJ and Matts Yama, I
Speaker 3: know you mentioned Adam Scott before in this eight thousand
Speaker 3: and above range.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think one other guy there is Paul Casey.
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be one of the higher
Speaker 2: owned guys of the week as well, probably in the
Speaker 2: top four or five highest zwed. His iron game is
Speaker 2: just too good. As you mentioned earlier, He's got three
Speaker 2: straight top six is here. It's been playing good all year.
Speaker 2: His last ten events on tour, he's gatined thirty nine
Speaker 2: shots on approach, which is just stupid to to stick there.
Speaker 2: And if he's able to have, you know, a halfway
Speaker 2: decent putter, he's going to be another top five or
Speaker 2: top ten finishes this week.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 3: You know, Paul Casey's number one in the Sagarin rankings,
Speaker 3: which is like you know, they do head to head
Speaker 3: against every golfer every week. He's number one in the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, mister consistency.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we got to ask what about Phil and
Speaker 3: Phil and Tiger? Where are you? Where are you standing
Speaker 3: on these two?
Speaker 2: So I'd rather have Phil than Tiger this week just
Speaker 2: because Phil's hitting his irons really good over his last
Speaker 2: you know, he didn't play great in Houston this week,
Speaker 2: but prior to that four you know, stroke play events,
Speaker 2: I think he gained fifteen shots on approach and finished
Speaker 2: from the top six in each of those events, and
Speaker 2: then obviously one the WGC in Mexico. So I'd take
Speaker 2: that over Tiger any day.
Speaker 3: Okay, So now we're down into the eight thousand and
Speaker 3: I mean it's always funny. I feel like when you
Speaker 3: look at these this range of players for the Masters,
Speaker 3: because eight thousand and below and you see these names
Speaker 3: that a lot of times are some of the highest
Speaker 3: priced guys at your regular tour stop. So say seventy
Speaker 3: nine and starts at seventy nine hundred, starts with Louis,
Speaker 3: then it goes to Henrik Stenson, who I horrible form.
Speaker 3: But then let's let's knock this down to seven thousand.
Speaker 3: What are the names that kind of jump out in here?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 2: I think that jumps out and if you're looking like
Speaker 2: for consistency and most lucky to you know, get you
Speaker 2: a nice high top ten finish is gonna be Matt Coucher.
Speaker 2: Coucher played good here in Houston as well, and his
Speaker 2: track record at August is very solid, where he's had
Speaker 2: top eight finishes in for the last six years. And
Speaker 2: he's just a guy that's just gonna plot around, not
Speaker 2: make a lot of mistakes, keep it in play, missing
Speaker 2: the correct side of the greens, and you know, he's
Speaker 2: not gonna run away with anything, but he'll he'll.
Speaker 1: Be there come the weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I was. I was looking at stats
Speaker 3: and trying to dive into this. I couldn't sleep on
Speaker 3: Sunday nine, and I was thinking about, you know, why
Speaker 3: people play well at the Masters, and I started thinking
Speaker 3: about Matt Coucher, and I started to realize that one
Speaker 3: of the more underrated skills that guys have that do
Speaker 3: well is the short games, because everybody misses and puts
Speaker 3: themselves in bad positions. And I think, you know, Jordan
Speaker 3: Speith and and Coucher are two great examples of that,
Speaker 3: is that they miss smart, but then they also have
Speaker 3: just unbelievable short games that allow them to keep their
Speaker 3: momentum going. But with those power saves.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think the one other thing that helps
Speaker 2: Coucher Augusta he's very good with distance control, and so
Speaker 2: you don't want to be missing any of your shots
Speaker 2: long on any of these greens, and he tends to
Speaker 2: if his misses are going to be left and right
Speaker 2: on iron shots, which is.
Speaker 1: A lot easily eat up and down.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, So you know, Berger is a guy that
Speaker 3: I've you know, top top twenty seven and his two
Speaker 3: starts there really good iron player. What do you think
Speaker 3: about Burger?
Speaker 2: He's a guy that has a lot of a lot
Speaker 2: of upside. I would say to where you know, you
Speaker 2: tell me he finishes, you know, in the top ten.
Speaker 2: I can definitely believe it. I'm not sure if he
Speaker 2: can possibly win here, but he's a guy that when
Speaker 2: he's playing well, makes a lot of birdies, which is
Speaker 2: going to be good if you're playing him on draftings
Speaker 2: At seventy.
Speaker 3: Five hundred this week, who else kind of jumps in here?
Speaker 2: I probably dropped down a little lower to Charlie Hoffman
Speaker 2: at seventy one. Okay, he was the leader after the
Speaker 2: first round here last year, so last three years, he's
Speaker 2: gone twenty ninth and ninth here and he's gained strokes
Speaker 2: on approach in every event so far in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody was expecting him to fade away. He kind
Speaker 3: of hung around all the way through till Sunday. And
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a guy that gets better every year, seemingly,
Speaker 3: and he hasn't had a breakout performance this year, but
Speaker 3: he's been solid.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I think the one thing of Hoffmann well is
Speaker 2: I don't think he's scared of the big moment. I
Speaker 2: think he actually relishes, you know, being in contention and
Speaker 2: you know, needing to play aggressively. He's not going to
Speaker 2: let off the gas pedal if he's in there, you know,
Speaker 2: on Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 3: What about your boy of Russell Henley. I feel like
Speaker 3: you always love Henley everywhere.
Speaker 2: I like Henley because for some reason, he plays well
Speaker 2: on courses that he has good history. And that same
Speaker 2: thing happened this week at Houston m Yeah, and I
Speaker 2: kind of expect from the same thing this week, where
Speaker 2: you know, he's a pretty good driver of the golf
Speaker 2: ball and then is a pretty good short game and
Speaker 2: that tend to add.
Speaker 1: Up pretty well here at Augusta. Yeah, yeah, it makes
Speaker 1: a lot of birdies.
Speaker 3: Any players in here that you don't like, any anybody
Speaker 3: you're fading.
Speaker 2: If we're looking on the DraftKings side when it comes tournaments,
Speaker 2: I tend to fade guys that don't make a lot
Speaker 2: of birdies. So that'll be you know, your guys like
Speaker 2: maybe a Brendan Grace or possibly even maybe at Charles Schwartzel,
Speaker 2: just because the upside isn't that great for them to
Speaker 2: where they could finish tenth and it could be the
Speaker 2: same amount of points DraftKings wise, the guy that finishes thirtieth,
Speaker 2: that makes a lot of birdies.
Speaker 3: So what about Cantley. He hasn't missed a cut since
Speaker 3: coming back from injury, and he was a low am
Speaker 3: here the only other time he's played. Kind of fits
Speaker 3: what we've been talking about too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard for me to go with Cauntless week
Speaker 2: week to have, you know, to be in full contention,
Speaker 2: I think he probably makes the cut and finishes, you know,
Speaker 2: around twentieth. But I tend to go for guys that
Speaker 2: have that have played the Masters multiple times just because
Speaker 2: of the experience of where to hit it on the greens,
Speaker 2: knowing all the pin locations and just being comfortable in
Speaker 2: that atmosphere. And you know, Can'tly hasn't played here in
Speaker 2: what six years, and that was as an amateur, so
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a little tough.
Speaker 3: I like can't Still. I think he's a big game hunter.
Speaker 3: Haga's dad came on the pod. He was saying he
Speaker 3: thinks Can'tly might win, which is crazy, but who knows
Speaker 3: crazier That's why they play.
Speaker 1: The game right, exactly right. Anybody can win.
Speaker 3: So anybody else in the seven thousand to you know,
Speaker 3: seventy nine hundred tier that you really like before we
Speaker 3: drop down into the bargain basement, I think one guy.
Speaker 2: That maygo under owned to you know the general population
Speaker 2: is going to be Cure deck off the barn Rot.
Speaker 2: So he's played the Masters once in twenty sixteen, finished fifteenth,
Speaker 2: and he's played pretty solid this year, you know, with
Speaker 2: with three top tens in his last four starts worldwide.
Speaker 2: I believe so, well, yeah, he can, you know, and
Speaker 2: he's a guy that is afraid moment and likes play
Speaker 2: aggressive and he also hits drivery hole and it's it
Speaker 2: pretty straight. So he hits it long too, and it's
Speaker 2: a long yeah, so he can rack up a lot
Speaker 2: of birdies for a guy that's you know, seventy one
Speaker 2: hundred is pretty pretty good value there.
Speaker 3: M hm. So sixty nine hundred, there are some really
Speaker 3: good names right at you know, the sixty eight sixty
Speaker 3: nine hundred as well. So you got Pat Perez, Martin Kaimer,
Speaker 3: Kevin Chappel, Brendan Steele, Bryson, Jimmy Walker, Duffner, Stanley will It,
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think that's a good one. And
Speaker 3: then and then burned Weisberger. I think Weisburger's mad made
Speaker 3: the cut every year at the Masters he's played.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd be more likely to pick Weisburger in a
Speaker 2: like office pool to where birdies don't matter, because he's
Speaker 2: a guy that kind of plods around and doesn't make
Speaker 2: a ton of birdies, whereas you know, for DraftKings, he
Speaker 2: may not be the.
Speaker 1: Best choice for that.
Speaker 3: Okay, what about either any of those guy other guys?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely like Pat Perez this week. He's kind
Speaker 2: of got the you know, the good attitude coming in
Speaker 2: to where he's going to be attacking the golf course,
Speaker 2: but when he gets going, he has the ability to
Speaker 2: you know, he's not afraid of going up against the
Speaker 2: Justin Thomas or DJ in contention, where whereas some of
Speaker 2: these other guys haven't necessarily proven themselves as much. Where
Speaker 2: I think Pat Perez could actually get it done if
Speaker 2: he was on, you know, in the final pairing on Sunday.
Speaker 3: I'm all in on the Scientist this week.
Speaker 2: I'm actually, I believe it or not, a big Bryson
Speaker 2: fan this week as well.
Speaker 3: I mean, he was really really great at bay Hill.
Speaker 3: He was really awesome his first appearance at the Masters,
Speaker 3: and he wanted deer run of course, with a lot
Speaker 3: of side slopes and uneven lies and fairway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that.
Speaker 2: I think picking the correct one or two players down
Speaker 2: here is going to be what differentiates, you know, a
Speaker 2: winning lineup on dry can just weak twenty million dollars.
Speaker 2: Is picking the one or two guys down here that
Speaker 2: finish top six, top seven, that's what's gonna win for you.
Speaker 3: Jimmy Walker's actually been playing pretty well lately and obviously
Speaker 3: has had a really good track record at Augusta. What
Speaker 3: do you think about him?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely him has another option on DraftKings, even
Speaker 2: in pool formats, because based on how he's playing, he's
Speaker 2: going to be pretty far down in some of the
Speaker 2: pools that are you know, putting like, you know, pods
Speaker 2: of ten players. He may be in your fifth or
Speaker 2: sixth pod and maybe a pretty good option down there.
Speaker 3: Mm hm. Anybody else you know below there? Do you
Speaker 3: like any any of these guys to take a flyer
Speaker 3: on any of the ams or anything.
Speaker 2: I tend to stay away from the ams and some
Speaker 2: of the senior guys just because there's really not that
Speaker 2: much upside. I'd rather have somebody else take them. And
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not saying it's dead money, but I'd rather,
Speaker 2: you know, have them choose them for at a couple
Speaker 2: percent on DraftKings and hopefully they don't play that well
Speaker 2: and just knocks out one more nch I don't have
Speaker 2: to go up against Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Neeman is very talented, but it's such a crapshoot.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then the one thing with all the young amateurs
Speaker 2: playing here is the fact that it's most of them
Speaker 2: it's their first time playing here, which even if it
Speaker 2: was a pro, I'm most likely not playing a guy
Speaker 2: if it's his first time here.
Speaker 3: So uh, let's move on to one and done. You're
Speaker 3: in the one and done. What are you looking for
Speaker 3: this week?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 3: Is it based off of where you're at in the standings?
Speaker 3: And I know it's kind of early in the season still,
Speaker 3: but is it? Are you looking at it based off
Speaker 3: of where you're at in the standings?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a pretty good way to approach it.
Speaker 2: And i'd also want to probably chart out what you're
Speaker 2: going to do for the rest of your majors the
Speaker 2: rest of the season, and you know, figure out, you know, roughly,
Speaker 2: what are your options going forward to where let's say
Speaker 2: you don't want to blow dustin Johnson this week if
Speaker 2: you're going totend to use them for the US Open
Speaker 2: or another major, Right m hm.
Speaker 3: I'm not one for organization, So what do you do?
Speaker 3: If you're me?
Speaker 2: I would just take a look and think, you know,
Speaker 2: give yourself a couple options, and you know, if you're
Speaker 2: near the topier standings, you may want to go somebody
Speaker 2: more chalkier, such as if you have Jordan's speed's available,
Speaker 2: he's probably gonna be the highest owned guy in your
Speaker 2: league this week, and you'd probably want to play me
Speaker 2: if you're near the top, if you're a little bit
Speaker 2: lower the standings, maybe you go with a guy like
Speaker 2: Phil Mickelson who won't be as high owned, or maybe
Speaker 2: even you know Justin Rose, who you know pretty much
Speaker 2: has made it his mission to win it Augusta this
Speaker 2: year after losing last year. He's kind of, you know,
Speaker 2: put his schedule made around winning the Masters this year.
Speaker 2: Finished you know, in the last seven times at august
Speaker 2: he finished out in the top fourteen only once. He
Speaker 2: played didn't play great this week in Houston, which I
Speaker 2: think is going to get some people off of them
Speaker 2: for one and done purposes, which makes it even better
Speaker 2: if you're gonna choose him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think going into this week he'd finished in
Speaker 3: the top ten thirteen of his last fifteen stars, which
Speaker 3: is unbelievable. Yeah, so yeah, I like that. What do
Speaker 3: you I guy I really like is Justin Thomas. Do
Speaker 3: you think he's gonna be I owned across the board?
Speaker 2: Uh, He's probably gonna be I think in the top
Speaker 2: five in terms of ownership. I'm thinking on DraftKings, maybe
Speaker 2: around twenty percent. But in terms of like one and done,
Speaker 2: he'll probably be fourth or fifth in terms of ownership,
Speaker 2: I would think Speeth would be one. I'm actually thinking
Speaker 2: a lot of people are gonna pick Tiger this week
Speaker 2: and one and done just because of the history and
Speaker 2: the fact that you know Tiger's back, He's coming to Augusta.
Speaker 1: He owns a guy.
Speaker 2: I'd rather save Tiger if he's truly back to play
Speaker 2: maybe at the Bridge jone later.
Speaker 1: In the year.
Speaker 3: You got anybody that if you wanted to go really
Speaker 3: kind of off the wall, say you're near the bottom
Speaker 3: of your one and done and you want a chance
Speaker 3: to really make up some ground.
Speaker 1: I mean, he goes a guy like Tommy Fleetwood.
Speaker 2: He's probably not gonna be picked much in your league,
Speaker 2: and he's pretty much the best iron player on the
Speaker 2: European Tour. So to me, he reminds you of kind
Speaker 2: of a young Justin Rose, where he's may not have
Speaker 2: to be the best putter, but his driver's pretty good,
Speaker 2: and then he's just really really good with his irons.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's he's he's like the golf nerd
Speaker 3: pick of the week, I feel like, but there aren't
Speaker 3: a ton of golf nerds out there, so but uh yeah,
Speaker 3: and it's so hard to pass on some of these
Speaker 3: top guys. So what else you got for us?
Speaker 2: Uh, there's not that much out yet because we haven't
Speaker 2: had much of the odds place out there out yet.
Speaker 2: They for the odds to win being put out there,
Speaker 2: but not much in terms of any other matchups or
Speaker 2: any other prop bets for for the Masters. So if
Speaker 2: you want, you can follow me along on Twitter during
Speaker 2: the week and I'll have updates on there at frieda
Speaker 2: Egg Polly Any.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's always a good follow Any good long shots
Speaker 3: you like this week?
Speaker 1: Uh, there's when it.
Speaker 2: Comes to the Masters, I tend not to play many
Speaker 2: long shots just because you have so many of the
Speaker 2: top tier players in good form that one or two
Speaker 2: of them are going to play good. And I don't
Speaker 2: see a guy from outside the top fifteen or twenty
Speaker 2: in the world winning.
Speaker 3: This week, not even Kyle's play of Louis.
Speaker 1: If there was a guy that would be the guy.
Speaker 3: Probably Any do you ever do like top ten bet
Speaker 3: from Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2: Top ten, top twenty, and there's all kinds of other
Speaker 2: bets as well. Masters is pretty much the best week
Speaker 2: of the year in terms of bets. There's literally every
Speaker 2: possible bet out there there's you know, over unders on
Speaker 2: everybody's finishing positions in the field too or out there.

Speaker 1: Justin Rose?

Speaker 3: this year. It happened to me with Day when he
Speaker 3: w d'd from that damn Yeah. And then it happened
