It is Masters week, so we have 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.600 Paulli from Polly's Picks coming on to help us all 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:32.799 with our Master's pools, DraftKings one and Done leagues. You know, 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.440 this is the week where everybody has a chance to 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.799 win a million dollars on DraftKings. So Pollie, welcome on. 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:40.320 Hei. What's up Andy? 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:47.080 Not much, man, just busy week and ready to I'm 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.760 excited for it. And you know, it's crazy this year 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.320 with how many you know, people are peaking going into 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.320 the tournament, and it makes picking for one and done 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.079 and all these things really tough. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:00.600 Yeah, definitely. 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.799 It's one of those like a perfect storm scenario where 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:07.360 you couldn't imagine having this many people playing good coming 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.079 into Augusta and this many good storylines. It's literally like 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:11.040 a script out of a movie. 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.519 Yeah, what do you think legitimate winners like you know, 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.040 in term, I think there's probably about twenty guys where 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:23.000 if you told me, hey, Tommy Fleetwood won, I wouldn't 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.359 be surprised. What do you think where do you think 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:27.160 it goes down to. 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.000 Yeah, I think there's about fifteen to twenty that would win. 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:31.760 But I think this is one of the unique years 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.000 to where there's about eight or ten guys that you 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.320 could tell me win by four or five shots. 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:37.120 And I wouldn't be deprised. 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:38.080 Mm hmm. 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.760 Yeah, just because when the guys are on fire, like 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.360 when Justin Thomas gets on on fire, or when DJ 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.960 gets on fire, or you know, or Jason Day right, 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:47.880 when those guys are the top of their game, they 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.640 can win an event by four or five especially. 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:50.680 In a major. 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:55.960 I agree. I think if we will be treated to 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.400 an unbelievable Sunday, if we could get two or three 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.360 of those guys playing at the top end of their 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:06.400 game and see a real shootout, it'll be really a 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.120 fascinating masters to watch. 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:09.440 So with. 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.160 All eyes on golf for you know, the biggest week 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.440 of the year, tons of people are playing pools, and 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:20.840 I think the pools really mirror DraftKings pretty well in 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.360 the sense of, you know a lot of people like 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.560 to pick the same guys. So what's your strategy going 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.960 into DraftKings or say big office pulls or big friend pools. 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.320 Yeah, So if I'm trying to, you know, win a 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.400 big pool, whether it's on you know, winning a millionaire 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.440 maker on DraftKings or winning a pool where there's let's 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.240 say maybe one hundred entries. I'm gonna try to figure 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.360 out who I think everyone is gonna pick, and then 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.920 maybe I'll take a slightly like low roun guy. So, 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.360 for example, like if you think Jordan Speed's gonna be, 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.120 you know, the highest elected player in your office pool, 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.560 you may want to pick you know, somebody else in 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:58.120 that tier just because you're gonna have a better chance 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.800 to win, most likely if you're not playing Speed at 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.200 that point, Do. 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.600 You expect Speed to be the highest owned player or 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:06.800 do you think it's gonna be. 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.760 What he did today in Houston? I would think so yes. 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.040 With him finishing third there and putting miserably, I think 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.479 he's going to be the highest owned guy in most 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.800 of the pools and possibly even on draftings this week. 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.760 I feel like the third place finish for Speak there 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.200 was like the ideal finish. You don't want to win 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.840 that week because it's so hard to win back to 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.520 back tournaments and nobody's ever won in Houston and then 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:34.839 won in at Augusta. But a third place ideal, right, yeah, definitely. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.520 And then the way that Speed did it too, I 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.560 mean he lost three shots on the greens this week 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:40.880 in Houston and finished third. 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.040 Are you worried at all given that you know he 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.200 entered the week I think one hundred and seventy second 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:47.400 in strokes game putting. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:48.480 No. 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.400 I mean, based on some of the interviews he's had 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.160 in the past regarding Augusta, he just is able to 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.880 see the lines very well in those greens and just 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.880 feels comfortable. And if he just has a marginal putting week, 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.080 he's going to be in the contention and the back 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:02.880 nine on Sunday. 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.880 Mm hm. So, so, Spith, you're expecting going to be 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.240 the highest down player, who would you say, kind of 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:14.719 if if you're looking at we'll say Rory Tiger, Speth, 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:19.760 Justin Thomas, dj as kind of this this upper echelon, 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.040 I guess you could throw Jason Day in there. I 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.719 feel like Justin Rose could be in that section. How 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.600 would you rank those those top tier options if you 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.919 were picking a you're talking. 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.240 In regards to draft kings or for like office. 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:37.200 Pools, let's say we'll say each Okay, So if we're. 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.520 Looking at DraftKings where it's you know, a salary based 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:43.159 approach where you have Dustin Johnson is the highest priced guy. 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.520 By a good amount. He's at eleven four hundred. 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.000 I think he's not going to get picked a lot 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.600 because people are going to go down and play Jordan 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.360 Speed at ten thousand, four hundred, or they'll even play 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.880 Tiger at ten thousand or even you know, similar priced 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.400 players of Rory or Jason Day. So I think DJ 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.200 goes a little a little bit under owned up there, 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.320 maybe only owned by ten or fifteen percent of people. 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.920 And DJ is a heck of a player and can 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:08.440 make a lot of birdies and eagles, which is good 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:09.239 for draftings scoring. 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.360 So yeah, that's true. I mean a thousand bucks and 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.160 the field is small, so I you can make it 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:20.240 up on the back end with some good low priced players, right, definitely. 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:20.520 Yes. 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.640 So so you like DJ of this top tier and say, say, 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:27.520 you know, I know a lot of people will put 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.880 one hundred bucks in and do five of these entries. 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.120 How would you how do you strategize with going with 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.560 like when you do multiple entries for these things, do 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:40.000 you try and do you have a core group of 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.240 guys or do you try and checker a couple, you know, 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:44.760 different lineups together. 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.080 Sure, I can kind of talk about the strategy I 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:48.720 do for the for the large events like this. So 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.360 this week we have the Millionaire Make Around DraftKings, which 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.840 it's a twenty dollars entry, million dollar first place prize, 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.120 and I think second place is like one hundred and 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.560 ftwy thousands, So you're pretty much putting twenty dollars in 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.400 trying to hit the jackpot for a million dollars. And 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.360 with that thought in mind, you want to have a 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.720 unique lineup because there's over two hundred thousand entries in 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:11.320 this so with only you know, eighty something guys in 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.080 the field, you're gonna have a lot of lineups that 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.520 are duplicated to where you may put a lineup in 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.080 with a bunch of guys that are very popular, and 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.440 eighty other people had the exact same lineup, And I 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:22.880 think that's a problem you can run into. 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:23.720 Andreo ju agree. 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.760 Yeah. You know, a couple of years ago, I was like, 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:33.599 when Speeth had that horrible, disastrous quadruple, I was in 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:38.360 like seventh place in this thing, but I was another 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.920 guy had the exact same lineup as I did, and 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.199 I was watching myself go up there and I was like, 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.719 oh man, somebody else has the same lineup. They made 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.719 a seven, which made it completely moot, but you know, 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.480 you could see it when you get up there, it's like, yeah, 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.520 there's there's some I mean, one player makes all the 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:58.560 difference between first and what fiftieth sometimes exactly. 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.840 And so one of the strategies I'll do this week 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.640 is we have a fifty thousand dollar budget on DraftKings, 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.400 and the pricing is pretty soft in terms of, you know, 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.599 there's a lot of guys down that are valuable with 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.120 the lower end that you can you can play or 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.240 even in the middle range to where I'm not going 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.680 to use all fifty thousand because a lot of people 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.720 will fill out a lineup and they get to their 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.000 last guy and say, hey, I got eight guys eighty 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.319 eight hundred. He's gonna spend that eighty eight hundred on 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.400 a player that's pretty close to that price range, whereas 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.959 I'm gonna probably go down and leave myself five six, 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.439 seven hundred dollars and choose somebody, you know, around eight thousand, 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:33.880 just because it's going to provide me a unique lineup 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.520 to where you know, I may have the same five 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.680 players as somebody else, but I'm not gonna be duplicating 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.040 their lineup because of that, and you can have some 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.240 players that maybe a difference between choosing let's say, instead 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.920 of taking Paul Casey, you take Adam Scott, which in 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.440 reality is a big difference between the players. 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.559 That's a great point. I mean, it's hard when you 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.199 got money to not spend it, and in this case, 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.439 you're saying, don't spend all your money because it'll give 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.240 you more chance of being unique. 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:02.680 Exactly. 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.520 So I mean you could end up having winning the 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.760 Millionaire Maker and having fifty people tie you, and maybe 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.120 you end up getting like thirty thousand dollars. 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:11.559 What do you think you would have won a million? 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:16.160 That would be an ultimate buzz kill exactly. Yeah, So 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:21.520 getting into kind of some players you like, So, as 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:26.679 we talked about earlier, there's say fifteen guys that fifteen 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.800 to twenty guys that could legitimately win this thing. And 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.960 then with DraftKings, which are the of the top tier, 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:39.400 say eighty three hundred guys or eight thousand above, who 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:40.240 are the guys you like? 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:42.320 So the guys that like. 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.560 There, I think one guy that'll fly under the radar 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:48.880 a little bit is Hadeki Manciyama. So Manziama's down at 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.120 eighty four hundred, and I think a lot of people 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.640 won't play him because the last time they kind of 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.280 saw him or heard from him, he was injured withdrew 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.360 from the Waste Management Phoenix. But since then he's come 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.080 back played. He played twice at Bay Hill and WGC 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.280 and from all reports I've heard, he's back healthy and 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.880 he tends to play pretty good here at Augusta, with 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.000 a lot of high finishes and has that high towering 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.440 you know, iron game, which is perfect for a lot 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:15.720 of the approaches into the greens. 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.760 Yeah, I think one of the things I look for 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:23.959 with Augusta picks in general is iron play. So I 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.080 think the best iron players play the best at Augusta 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:28.960 because of the way the course is set up, where 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.280 the approach shots have, you know, very little room for ara. 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.080 You know, they ask you to hit these great approach shots, 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.800 and you know, typically what you see is the guys 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.120 that regularly have success at Augusta are some of the 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.920 best iron players. So you look at Paul Casey, three 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.680 straight top sixes, He's one of the best iron players 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.640 in the world. Justin Rose one of the best iron 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:50.880 players in the world. Phil Mickelson best, one of the 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.679 best iron players in the world, Tiger Woods, you know, 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.640 so on and so forth, and Hideki Matsuyama is one 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.400 of the best iron players in the world. So I 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.360 definitely like Matsi exactly. 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.840 I couldn't agree more because it's not necessarily about hitting 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.120 it close with the irons. That's hitting in the correct 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.160 area on the greens. And so when the guys are 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.599 miss hit that aren't good with the irons are missing it. 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.600 They're missing it in spots to where they can't get 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.400 up and down, and that's where the bogies creep in. 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:16.560 If you look at guys that have won in the past, 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:20.320 it's by eliminating bogies, not by making twenty five birdies. 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.880 Well, I think one of the things with that too 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.840 is that a guess that has a lot of uneven lies. 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.280 So what you get with those uneven lies is it 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.360 it just it makes it harder hit the right number. 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:36.839 So the the great iron players separate themselves even more 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.640 because it's just you know, they're they're more talented and 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:44.120 it's a tougher situation. So I think like a couple 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:48.920 of places that mirror that are Kapalua Pebble has some 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:55.000 pretty uneven fairways. Memorial even John Deere and Barracuda are 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.160 a couple other ones that are some of the most 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:58.720 undulating pharaways on tour. 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:00.480 Yeah. 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.160 So then if you're looking at like your office pool, 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.280 obviously it's a little bit different and you're dealing with 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:12.080 like a different kind of subset. Where where where could 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.280 you I I generally think my strategy and you tell 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.240 me if this is right or wrong. You're you know, 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.520 I think that when I'm in my friend's pools, no 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:24.599 offense to any friends listening or in office pools. What 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.079 happens is there's a lot of people that don't know 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.520 what they're doing, so they go after the big names, 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:32.280 and if you pick some guys that are playing well 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.320 that are a little bit lesser known names, you usually 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:36.320 have a lot of success. 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:37.560 Yeah. 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.600 I think the big advantage on the office pools isn't 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.199 necessarily with like your top pick, because a lot of 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.559 times you're just put in little pods, so they'll see 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.160 the top like ten guys in one pod. It's about 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.120 differentiating in other pods to where you may pick somebody 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.520 like example, like a Tommy Fleetwood, to where you know 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.240 a person that watches a lot of golf is going 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.679 to know them. But a casual golfan that just watches 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:00.800 the majors isn't going to know that much about Fleetwood. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:05.079 Yeah. So with DraftKings and starting to bounce back to this, 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:10.679 anybody you like outside of DJ and Matts Yama, I 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.840 know you mentioned Adam Scott before in this eight thousand 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:15.679 and above range. 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.400 Yeah, I think one other guy there is Paul Casey. 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:20.920 I think he's going to be one of the higher 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.080 owned guys of the week as well, probably in the 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.760 top four or five highest zwed. His iron game is 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.200 just too good. As you mentioned earlier, He's got three 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.360 straight top six is here. It's been playing good all year. 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.360 His last ten events on tour, he's gatined thirty nine 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:38.160 shots on approach, which is just stupid to to stick there. 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:40.720 And if he's able to have, you know, a halfway 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.360 decent putter, he's going to be another top five or 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:44.640 top ten finishes this week. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:44.920 Again. 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.280 You know, Paul Casey's number one in the Sagarin rankings, 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.040 which is like you know, they do head to head 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.480 against every golfer every week. He's number one in the world. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:55.720 Yeah, mister consistency. 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.880 Yeah, so we got to ask what about Phil and 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:02.080 Phil and Tiger? Where are you? Where are you standing 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:02.680 on these two? 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.120 So I'd rather have Phil than Tiger this week just 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:09.800 because Phil's hitting his irons really good over his last 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.040 you know, he didn't play great in Houston this week, 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.160 but prior to that four you know, stroke play events, 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.840 I think he gained fifteen shots on approach and finished 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:20.960 from the top six in each of those events, and 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:24.800 then obviously one the WGC in Mexico. So I'd take 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:25.960 that over Tiger any day. 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:30.560 Okay, So now we're down into the eight thousand and 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.400 I mean it's always funny. I feel like when you 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.200 look at these this range of players for the Masters, 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.040 because eight thousand and below and you see these names 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.040 that a lot of times are some of the highest 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:45.400 priced guys at your regular tour stop. So say seventy 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.520 nine and starts at seventy nine hundred, starts with Louis, 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.680 then it goes to Henrik Stenson, who I horrible form. 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.400 But then let's let's knock this down to seven thousand. 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.040 What are the names that kind of jump out in here? 0:15:59.280 --> 0:15:59.480 Sure? 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.440 I think that jumps out and if you're looking like 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.720 for consistency and most lucky to you know, get you 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.120 a nice high top ten finish is gonna be Matt Coucher. 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:09.360 Coucher played good here in Houston as well, and his 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.080 track record at August is very solid, where he's had 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.360 top eight finishes in for the last six years. And 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.840 he's just a guy that's just gonna plot around, not 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:21.080 make a lot of mistakes, keep it in play, missing 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.200 the correct side of the greens, and you know, he's 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.280 not gonna run away with anything, but he'll he'll. 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:27.520 Be there come the weekend. 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:31.600 Yeah, you know, I was. I was looking at stats 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.880 and trying to dive into this. I couldn't sleep on 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.800 Sunday nine, and I was thinking about, you know, why 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:40.360 people play well at the Masters, and I started thinking 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.760 about Matt Coucher, and I started to realize that one 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:46.800 of the more underrated skills that guys have that do 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:51.520 well is the short games, because everybody misses and puts 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:53.960 themselves in bad positions. And I think, you know, Jordan 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.560 Speith and and Coucher are two great examples of that, 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.040 is that they miss smart, but then they also have 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:03.360 just unbelievable short games that allow them to keep their 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.439 momentum going. But with those power saves. 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:07.720 Yeah, and I think the one other thing that helps 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:10.879 Coucher Augusta he's very good with distance control, and so 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.400 you don't want to be missing any of your shots 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.000 long on any of these greens, and he tends to 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:17.840 if his misses are going to be left and right 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:18.919 on iron shots, which is. 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:19.920 A lot easily eat up and down. 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.879 Yeah. Yeah, So you know, Berger is a guy that 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:28.360 I've you know, top top twenty seven and his two 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:31.159 starts there really good iron player. What do you think 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:32.199 about Burger? 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:34.679 He's a guy that has a lot of a lot 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.000 of upside. I would say to where you know, you 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:38.919 tell me he finishes, you know, in the top ten. 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:40.680 I can definitely believe it. I'm not sure if he 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.560 can possibly win here, but he's a guy that when 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:45.800 he's playing well, makes a lot of birdies, which is 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.000 going to be good if you're playing him on draftings 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:48.720 At seventy. 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:53.040 Five hundred this week, who else kind of jumps in here? 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.119 I probably dropped down a little lower to Charlie Hoffman 0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:00.800 at seventy one. Okay, he was the leader after the 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.760 first round here last year, so last three years, he's 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:07.680 gone twenty ninth and ninth here and he's gained strokes 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.399 on approach in every event so far in twenty eighteen. 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.320 Yeah, everybody was expecting him to fade away. He kind 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:17.840 of hung around all the way through till Sunday. And 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:22.960 I mean, he's a guy that gets better every year, seemingly, 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.040 and he hasn't had a breakout performance this year, but 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:27.439 he's been solid. 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:28.520 Yeah. 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:29.960 And I think the one thing of Hoffmann well is 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:31.600 I don't think he's scared of the big moment. I 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.879 think he actually relishes, you know, being in contention and 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:36.920 you know, needing to play aggressively. He's not going to 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:38.960 let off the gas pedal if he's in there, you know, 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:40.000 on Saturday and Sunday. 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:42.600 What about your boy of Russell Henley. I feel like 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:44.840 you always love Henley everywhere. 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.960 I like Henley because for some reason, he plays well 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.200 on courses that he has good history. And that same 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:55.000 thing happened this week at Houston m Yeah, and I 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:58.280 kind of expect from the same thing this week, where 0:18:58.440 --> 0:18:59.800 you know, he's a pretty good driver of the golf 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:01.560 ball and then is a pretty good short game and 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:02.320 that tend to add. 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.640 Up pretty well here at Augusta. Yeah, yeah, it makes 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:06.400 a lot of birdies. 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:10.120 Any players in here that you don't like, any anybody 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:11.120 you're fading. 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.160 If we're looking on the DraftKings side when it comes tournaments, 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:17.919 I tend to fade guys that don't make a lot 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.760 of birdies. So that'll be you know, your guys like 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:26.720 maybe a Brendan Grace or possibly even maybe at Charles Schwartzel, 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:30.040 just because the upside isn't that great for them to 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.960 where they could finish tenth and it could be the 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:36.120 same amount of points DraftKings wise, the guy that finishes thirtieth, 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:37.040 that makes a lot of birdies. 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.720 So what about Cantley. He hasn't missed a cut since 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:45.399 coming back from injury, and he was a low am 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:48.480 here the only other time he's played. Kind of fits 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:49.800 what we've been talking about too. 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.080 Yeah, it's hard for me to go with Cauntless week 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.680
