Speaker 1: make our dfs lineup and first, just what's going on?

16
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:06,680

Speaker 1: And uh? Pretty cool z your classic this past weekend?

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: It was good. Congratulations on four hundred. I'm very proud

19
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: to be part of about one point one percent. Just

20
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 2: proud to be such a huge part of that history. Yeah,

21
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: it was a pretty pretty electric finish. There was a

22
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 2: little bit of who wants to win this coming down

23
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: the stretch, but I really love the alternate shot format

24
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: and almost wish that it was four days of alternate

25
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 2: shot to be honest with you. I mean, it's just

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: so much more rewarding from a fan standpoint watching it,

27
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: but coming down the stretch getting another playoff, plenty of drama.

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: Great to see the big crowds out there in Louisiana,

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: hopefully you know, fully spaced and safe as we get

30
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: more normalized in that regard. But felt normal. It felt

31
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: like a normal sports and golf weekend. I don't know,

32
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: it just felt like we were getting closer to normalcy.

33
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: Maybe it's because we had a baby shower at my

34
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: house and congratulations socially distanced as we could be too,

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: but yeah, no, it was. It was a great finish

36
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: and it really felt like a you know, the best

37
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: team won. I thought, I'm not just saying that because

38
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: I picked them on the gimme. Yeah, yeah, the Aussie's

39
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: going in there, and just you know, you know, both

40
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: those guys have scrambled their tails off and you know,

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: they put it together and got the victory. So some

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 2: some good company too. Mark Leishman now five PGA Tour

43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 2: wins since the beginning of twenty seventeen, sneaky kind of

44
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: racking up victories at this moment thirties, one of only

45
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: seven players to have that over that span. So pretty

46
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 2: interesting to see Mark Leishman kind of hit another gear

47
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: in his career.

48
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: So a few things. Congratulations to you on making that pick.

49
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: You and Amanda Rose were both on the the Mullet

50
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: team and so well done by you guys. I just

51
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: felt like it was too obvious. I didn't want to

52
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: make it unanimous and everyone, so I don't know. I'll

53
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: let you guys take the w on that, I'll take

54
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: the l. Secondly, you know we're getting back to some

55
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: sense of normalcy when Light the Candle Guy shows up

56
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: at PGA Tour events again. So he is indeed.

57
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: Back repeatedly Light the Candle Guy in a big moment.

58
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: We ain't lightening candles, bro just lay off. Let Louis

59
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: hit it in the water without yelling at him, please,

60
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: And I'm good.

61
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: What's what's what's he gonna do? Turn around? Go hey,

62
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 2: that was clever. That was good. I like that, Like,

63
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: what what what's the best possible outcome for Light the

64
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 2: Candle Guy.

65
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: I did a crowdsource story six or seven years ago

66
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: where I spoke with about two dozen people who had

67
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: yelled things at PGA tour events, and I did like

68
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: a little you know, sort of like you a data analysis,

69
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, kind of by chart. They're all eighteen to

70
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: thirty four years old, they're all male, they've all been drinking,

71
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: and they all have told friends at home, Hey, when

72
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: so and so tease off on sixteen, listen, I'm gonna

73
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: say something. And then their friends go, dude, I heard

74
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: you on TV. Oh my god, you were the light

75
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: the candle guy. That amazing, and they all think they're

76
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: really funny. And the only part of that surprised me.

77
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: None of that surprised me that, you know, younger guys

78
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: who were drinking watching golf one of yellston I, okay,

79
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: I get it. What surprises me is that almost every

80
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: single one of them told me at the time that

81
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: the people around them genuinely left. And so they're like,

82
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: I kept doing it because I was yelling stupid stuff

83
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: and no one was turning around going hey, shut up,

84
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: you're an idiot. People were turning around going ah, that's

85
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: so funny, like they're high fiving me. So I'm like, okay,

86
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: I'll keep doing it and the players.

87
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: From eating twenty six millenerltes too, So you know, I guess,

88
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: so I guess, and.

89
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: I guess I can kind of see that. If you're

90
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: there and you're like, some guy yells something he's standing

91
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: next to, you're like that guy, Okay, well that's kind

92
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: of funny, all right, whatever. If you're sitting at home,

93
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: you're like, dude, shut up, nobody cares. So in any case,

94
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: By the way, at the last point on that I

95
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: wanted to make because you said, you talk about mark

96
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: Leishman's five victories in seventeen Kiwa next month, that that

97
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: could be a very not so sneaky play. I have

98
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: a feeling that Kiwa is going to be right for

99
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: a a player of that ILK A sort of and

100
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: nothing against mark Leishman. I don't mean to take away from,

101
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, the after glow of his team win this weekend,

102
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: but a second tier type of player, not.

103
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 2: A megastar that one's ever going to confuse him for

104
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: super He's not a top five player in the sport

105
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: right a really good pro and a you know, consistent

106
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: force on leader boards and all that. But I hear

107
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: what you're.

108
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: Saying, not yeah, yeah, I mean even that. I don't

109
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: know why I think this, considering Rory one by eight

110
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: the last time it was held there, which makes absolutely

111
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: no sense that we should say, hey, maybe it's a

112
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: guy a little bit lower down. But I think there's

113
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: gonna be some value on the board when we get

114
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: to that. Anything else from the Zurich strike you as intro.

115
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: Oh the format I want? I heard a lot of

116
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of social media sort of hey,

117
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: how can we change this and make this better? Because

118
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: that's what social media does, whether it's the Tour championship,

119
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: whether it's whatever. Everyone wants to say, Hey, these guys

120
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing, they should do it this way.

121
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: And so I saw a lot of that. I wouldn't

122
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: mind a round of best Ball, a round of alternate Shot,

123
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: a round of a scramble, and a round of I

124
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: don't even know what the fourth is, a shamble or

125
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: something like that, maybe, and just doesn't get.

126
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: Too hard to keep track at that point.

127
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: Probably there's always.

128
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 2: Gonna be people who are going an armchair Monday morning

129
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 2: quarterback no matter what they do, right, and I think

130
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: that you know, they flip the days after. So the

131
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: first year, they had a twenty seventeen right, it was

132
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: the best ball in the final round, and you'd think, okay,

133
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: tons of birdies, but really it just eliminated the ability

134
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: for anybody to fall back to the pack. And I

135
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: mean there was a great finish, but the way they

136
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: did it now with an alternate shot coming in the

137
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 2: final round, I thought it was a better setup.

138
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: I think the problem was and I'm postulating here, but

139
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: I believe that because they did it that way in

140
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: the first year, and best ball takes twice as long

141
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: as alternate shot, and the playoffs led into Monday morning,

142
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: that that was when they said, eh, let's do the

143
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: alternate shot in the final round so that we can

144
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: end this on Sunday evening before the evening news.

145
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: In a place where you're in it's springtime in Louisiana,

146
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: you are guaranteed it's amazing. I don't think they had

147
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: a weather delay this year, which may have been the

148
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: first time in thirty years they haven't had a rain

149
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: delay at this golf tournament. I mean, it's just it's

150
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: inevitable that time of year in that part of the country.

151
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: My two favorite notes of the week, Cam Smith coming

152
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: off is win. Each of his first three PGA Tour

153
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: victories now have been in playoffs. Can you name the

154
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: last man to get his first three PGA Tour wins

155
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: each in a playoff? There is no way.

156
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: I completely got from Alabama. He won in Colorado. Steve Lowry,

157
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: oh bang, all right, saw your tweak come on.

158
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: And the third one was in two thousand and eight

159
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: he beat VJ singing at Pebble Beach. Was a really

160
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: pretty crazy finish there. So yeah, first guy to do

161
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: that's in Steve Lowry, I think of I.

162
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: Would not have guessed that. I saw your tweet. I

163
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: follow you on Twitter. We all saw J Ray.

164
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough. And then the other one was

165
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: about Louis us Sayzen. Incredible that he's only credited now.

166
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: I know he's won everywhere all over the world. Awesome career,

167
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, But just to only have one

168
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: PGA Tour win and it's a seventh shot win at

169
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: the Open at Saint Andrews and the US for nine of.

170
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: The victories around the world.

171
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 2: Nothing in the US, right, Juxtapose that now nine runner

172
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 2: up finishes on the PGA Tour, and I love the

173
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: dispersion of it. He has them. This is where they've

174
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: come all four majors, the players, a playoff event, a

175
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: WGC event which was match play if you like that.

176
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 2: To add another caveat, a regular event which was like

177
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 2: valspar I believe, and now a team event.

178
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: So he's got a runner up finished in like every

179
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: conceivable kind of golf tournament you can have on the

180
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: PGA Tour, and his only way is in the Open

181
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: Championship by seven shots at Historic Saint Andrews.

182
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: He's been as high as number four in the world

183
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: ranking without ever having won a golf tournament on us soil.

184
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 2: It's a fascinating career. I mean all the different ways

185
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: he's come so achingly close, and all the major championships went.

186
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about this, but we may have broken

187
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: the streak today and we're recording this on Monday evening.

188
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: But I played in Mackenzie's Moment, a charity event over

189
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: at Golden o'calla where they played an LPGA event about

190
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: a month ago. Great Course had a fantastic time five

191
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: man scramble. Louis Ustaysen was playing in the scramble. I

192
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: saw a fifty five next to his team's name. I'm

193
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: pretty sure that was the winning score, and so we

194
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: might have got Louis off the schneide with a victory

195
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: on us soil.

196
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: Okay, congratulations, I'm glad he could beat you and the

197
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: other slubs out there. Whoa, whoa we handicap, I mean,

198
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 2: relatively speaking, all due respect, but I mean, you know,

199
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: Loui Ustaysan's a major cham and, as I said, a

200
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: runner up finish at every conceivable kind of golf tournament's

201
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: ever been held. But he gets to win an o'kalla,

202
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: that's big.

203
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. I've got a good buddy who's from o'calla. Originally,

204
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: he's a big golf better, big golf fan, Jason S.

205
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: For those who have I've dropped his name in columns before,

206
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: and I always say Jason S. But it's not me.

207
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: It's Jason S. A different Jasons. It's from Ocala. And

208
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: whenever we talk about picks for the week that we like,

209
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: he always drops a TPJ Ted Potter Junior from o'calla.

210
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: He always, you know, he's always telling me Ted Potter,

211
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: Ted Potter, and yeah, maybe this is the week.

212
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 2: For and your Jason S is of course Jason Sedeika's

213
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: Star of Ted Lasso.

214
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: It is not It's not no it Jason Shannon.

215
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 2: Full circle with the Ted and everything.

216
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. But I will say though, that my

217
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: first time in Okala today, which only about an hour

218
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: fifteen from where I live. I park the car at

219
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: the golf course. I get out of the car. I

220
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: popped the trunk to go get my clubs, and I

221
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: turn and Ted Potter Junior is walking past the car

222
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: and go, hey, Ted, what's going on? How you doing?

223
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm known him from way back when, but I had

224
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: to text my buddy and say, I don't know. It's

225
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: my first time in O'calla. I got out of the car.

226
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: The first person I saw is Ted Potter Junior. I

227
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: assume this is what happens every time you show up

228
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: in O'calla.

229
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: He's the wizard from O'calla. I mean, he's the mayor,

230
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 2: isn't he? I mean with Ted from Pebble Beach a

231
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: few years ago after beating DJ Welcome to o'call Florida,

232
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: home of horse Country and was he a three times

233
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 2: two time PGA Tour winner Ted Potter Jr.

234
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: Ted he has more wins than Louise dayson.

235
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 2: Think about that, Wow, bang Okaala.

236
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: Representing things I could have ribbed Louis for earlier today,

237
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: so I didn't want to do that. Let's get to

238
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: the vast bar who is playing. By the way, Louis

239
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: could get two wins in one week. How about that

240
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: JT at the top of the board as of right

241
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: now ten to one. This is going to fluctuate. I've

242
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: seen him eight to one already in someplace, and look

243
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 1: at DraftKings right now. Dustin Johnson eleven to one has

244
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: not been playing his best, although at T thirteen at

245
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: the RBC Heritage a few weeks ago, he's getting there

246
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. Corey Connors, We're gonna talk a lot

247
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: of Corey Connors. I have a feeling Corey Connor is

248
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: getting a lot of respect in the marketplace. This week.

249
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: He's eighteen to one. Patrick Reid, I've got a great

250
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: Patrick Reid vals bar story. He is eighteen to one.

251
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: Paul Casey, the two time defending champion, twenty two to one.

252
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear you're sat on Paul Casey

253
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: going for a three peat this week. Victor Hovland twenty

254
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: two to one as well, Tyroll Hatton twenty five some

255
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: JM twenty eight, Abraham Answer, Russell, Henley, Scotty Scheffler all

256
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: at thirty Cooke, Rack Nieman, Oustazan himself at thirty five

257
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: to one, and then a bunch of other still pretty

258
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: good players right behind him. So let's start at the

259
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: top of the board. One of these big names strike

260
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: you as a guy that you really like more than

261
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: some others.

262
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: So one of the key stats is you, guys, if

263
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: you listen to this week and week out that I

264
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 2: like to look at is the average strokes gained rank

265
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: the week of player wins a particular tournament, and compare

266
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: that to the PGA Tour average. So this week, for

267
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 2: the Vauspar Championship, strokes gained off the t is significantly

268
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: less important than anywhere else this week. I say that

269
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 2: because there's a guy at the very top of the board,

270
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: and you think of him as a guy who's really

271
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: good off the tee, and he is a strong player

272
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: off the tee. But I'll give you a stat on

273
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 2: Justin Thomas that makes me believe that I think he's

274
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: he's basically tailor made for this golf course. So he's

275
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: Justin Thomas is gaining less than one percent of his

276
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: strokes on the against the field this season off the tee.

277
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: That is a crazy number, And it's not indicative of

278
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 2: a guy not being able to drive the ball, because

279
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 2: he still has good strokes gained off the team numbers.

280
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: It's because he is so good with his irons and

281
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: throw everything else on his bag that he's not reliant

282
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 2: on strokes gained off the t To put that in perspective,

283
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 2: Brice and his Chambeau gains forty five percent of his

284
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 2: strokes with his driver Brooks Keepka twenty one percent, Xanders

285
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: Schoflee nineteen percent. They rely on dominance with the big

286
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 2: club in order to gain strokes on the field. Justin

287
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: Thomas doesn't need that. He missed the cut the last

288
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: time he played here. But even as the favorite man,

289
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: he just seems tailor made for this golf course the

290
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 2: way that he's hit his irons this season. For my money,

291
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 2: as you guys have heard me say on the podcast before,

292
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: I think he's the best iron player in the world

293
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: last two three years. And then you mentioned the other

294
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 2: guy I really like, which is Corey Connors. Corey Connors

295
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: is probably going to be my favorite outright pick this week.

296
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: Feels like a guy he's been trending towards a victory.

297
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: He's got a lot of high finishes, and he's one

298
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: of the best iron players on the planet too. So

299
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: I think you like Corey Conners a lot this week

300
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: as well. Interested to hear your thoughts there.

301
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean four of his last six finishes have

302
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: been inside the top ten. He's a great iron player.

303
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: This is going to be a good course for good

304
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: iron players. He held the fifty four hole lead here

305
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: two years ago and didn't quite keep it going on

306
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon, I beleeve playing with Tiger in the final round,

307
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: Is that correct?

308
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: Correct?

309
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: Yeah? And so obviously you know, having situation, Yeah, having

310
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: never quite been in that situation. Was that right before

311
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: the Texas Open?

312
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: It was, I believe, so shortly before the Texas Opened.

313
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: Then it was three weeks before the Masters, I believe

314
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: in nineteen So yeah, I was on.

315
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: His steady assent and that was a week where he

316
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: contended and it was one of the first times it

317
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: was really wow, Tiger might win again, but he was

318
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: in a really tough spot.

319
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: Right at him with Tiger. Tiger in the group and

320
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: never having really contended. I mean, that's a lot to

321
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: throw on a guy, but yeah, I really like him

322
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: this week. The problem is everyone really likes him. I

323
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: actually because I was playing this event today. I wrote

324
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: most of my preview content on Sunday afternoon, and so

325
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: I did it before the odds came out. Corey Connors

326
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: liking for a top ten this week pretty shrewd play.

327
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm not sure anyone else is going to jump on that.

328
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: Corey Connors is two to one, He's plus two hundred

329
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: for a top ten this week. I mean it's like,

330
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you better be really confident in Corey Connors

331
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: if you're going after him this week. And I'm not

332
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: saying don't do it, because I really like him, but

333
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: you better be pretty damn sure that he's going to

334
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: be right up there.

335
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: Connor's plus eighteen hundred to win. Paul Casey's won the

336
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: damn thing the last two years it's been played, and

337
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: he's plus twenty two hundred. Yeah, so that's your biggest

338
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 2: indicator there where the market is on Connor's. So that's

339
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 2: a good point. I I didn't realize that it was

340
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: such a layup, easy pick, but hey worked last week

341
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: with Cam Smith and Mark Leishman, so sure.

342
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes Connor's breaks through gets another victory when

343
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: those neon lights are blinking and the arrow's pointing right

344
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: out of a guy. Sometimes you got well, maybies, they're

345
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: trying to show us something. By the way, by Patrick

346
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: Reid story. This was also two years ago. Two years

347
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: ago is when Patrick Rereed came in second right a

348
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: couple of months, buddy, yeah, he's not it.

349
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 2: Twice he lost the playoff to speaf when Stuarts was

350
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: reaching peak speifing in fifteen and then yeah nineteen as well.

351
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so two years ago a few my buddies

352
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: came out and one of them put a fairly large

353
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: live outright bet pre final round on Patrick Red and

354
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: they're standing around the eighteenth grade and Patrick Reid's got

355
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: it was about twenty two twenty five footer up the

356
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: hill and left it like five feet short. I mean,

357
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: it wasn't like never scared the hole. It was like

358
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: one of those putts that me or you would put

359
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: would be like how why did I just leave that short?

360
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: If nothing like hit it ten feet past the hole

361
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: at least like give it a chance on the way

362
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: by to drop in, but it didn't even come close

363
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: to scaring the hole, to which my buddy was like,

364
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: just you know, to this day, if you mentioned Patrick

365
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: Reid in front of him, he dislikes him even more

366
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: than a lot of other people do. So, yeah, that's

367
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: the Patrick Reed story. By the way, I want to

368
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: look at JC Justin. Do you happen to know the

369
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: last time a European player happened to win the same

370
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: event three times in a row on US soil?

371
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 2: Well, Jason, you've got to go back to before the

372
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:59,479
Speaker 2: PGA Tour even existed, and they retroactively called it a

373
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: pg victory. The last time a European player won the

374
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: same PGA Tour event three times in a row mister

375
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 2: Willie Anderson at the US Open in ought three, ought four,

376
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: and ought five nineteen oh three, nineteen oh four, nineteen

377
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 2: oh five. That's the last time it's happened. It's very

378
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 2: rare for anyone to three pat No one's three petd

379
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 2: on the PGA Tour in any event since Steve Stricker

380
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 2: ten years ago at the John Deere So but Paul

381
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 2: Casey has been exceptional. One of my favorite stats I've

382
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: come up with this week. Looking at Paul, He's been

383
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 2: in the top fifteen strokeskin approach on the PGA Tour

384
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 2: seven straight years, the longest active streak of any players.

385
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: So a guy who you know isn't overly long still

386
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: can hit it out there a little bit. But you know,

387
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 2: his iron play is what separates him and makes him

388
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: an elite player.

389
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: And you know.

390
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: He's really shown that the last couple of years in

391
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: the mouse bar back to back wins.

392
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: You would think I'd learned because I faded Willie Anderson

393
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: that five us open thinking like he won once. Okay,

394
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: I'll give them that he won again. What are the

395
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: odds this guy's win a third in a row and

396
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: then he goes and does it. I mean, if history

397
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: is going to repeat itself one hundred and sixteen years later,

398
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: I mean we should jump on Kse. But I don't

399
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: have Casey this week, really just for the law of

400
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: averages if nothing else. But obviously he plays the golf

401
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: course really well. I do like a couple of guys

402
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: kind of in that range, though. Tyrrollhatton's a guy that

403
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: I haven't been on much over the last twelve to

404
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: eighteen months. I feel like he's might not be the

405
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: best way to say this. He's played above his baseline.

406
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: He's been very, very good. He's the eighth rank player

407
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: in the world. I feel like he's probably played at

408
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: some point too good for the level of player that

409
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: he is. And I don't mean that in a demeaning

410
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: way whatsoever, but it's lowered the value on him. I

411
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: don't feel like he's a guy I want chase, but

412
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: I do like him this week, I don't think that

413
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: plus twenty five hundreds of bad number. And then my

414
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 1: favorite outright play is Sung JM. Some JM, first of all,

415
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: plays really well in Florida events. Taught us this before

416
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago during the Real Florida Swing, talked

417
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: all about some JM tends to put better on Bermuda greens.

418
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: He also tends to play well. And you know, it's

419
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: still the early part of his career, but at places

420
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: he's played well already, tends to come back and play

421
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: well there. Again, he was T four and his only

422
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: previous start at Innisbrook, So I think that this could

423
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: be a good place for some Jay to break through

424
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 1: for a second victory.

425
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: Good call tied for the field lead and birdies sung

426
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 2: JM did that year. That's a good number for him.

427
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: I'm I'm really positive about a certain player that I

428
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: keep coming back to weekend, week out looking at the analytics.

429
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: Russell Henley leads the PGA Tour in scoring average. I

430
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 2: don't know if you could, you know, shake down and

431
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 2: find a couple of people who can tell you that,

432
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: but number one on the PGA Tour in scoring average,

433
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 2: and he does it with his irons, and as we

434
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: talked about, this is a play a golf course where

435
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 2: approach play is paramount. I know it basically works everywhere,

436
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 2: but it's more significant here than at most places. He's

437
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 2: a guy I like. I don't I'm hesitant to pick

438
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: him for a win, but I like some. I like

439
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 2: some top ten and definitely top twenty action on him

440
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 2: this week, going a little bit further down the board,

441
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: a guy who's had some good finishes and just came

442
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: off another great week and clearly just picked up the

443
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: victory at Okalla today in the tournament you.

444
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: Played it, I think he did.

445
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

446
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 1: We didn't match cards, but I think.

447
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: So let's just go with it. Louis who says in

448
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 2: plus three thousand. He's second in strokes gain TV green

449
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 2: per round in this golf tournament the last five years.

450
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 2: He's fifth in strokes gaining total per round in that

451
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: span in this tournament among players with a dozen or

452
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 2: more rounds. I like him a lot this week too.

453
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: I think he's a guy who can you know, he

454
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 2: obviously fits this golf course, and he's coming off some

455
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: strong play last week in Louisiana.

456
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: I'll give you three guys sort of in that range.

457
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: Jason Kokrack has played very good golf on this golf

458
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: course in the past, the second place finish in the

459
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: eighth place finish the last two times it was held here.

460
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: He's also played really well in Florida already this year.

461
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: Thirty five to one doesn't get me two excited, but

462
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't mind that, at least for DFS plays for

463
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: a top ten play at plus three hundred, don't mind that.

464
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: I really like the number on Justin Rose. I think

465
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: Justin Rose at the Masters wasn't quite ready to play

466
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: his best golf. He put the score up for a

467
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: couple of rounds, but he wasn't quite in the mode

468
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: of like, Hey, I'm going to play my best golf.

469
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: He's coming now sort of yeah, I mean injury and

470
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: his swing wasn't there, and I just a lot of

471
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: stuff going on for Justin Roads. I think now he's

472
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: gotten that, okay, I've gotten like a little title contention

473
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: under my belt. I've gotten some rounds in. I'm starting

474
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: to play better. I think that that's a good number,

475
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,719
Speaker 1: forty five to one on Justin Rose and then I

476
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: don't love this number, but I do think that Chris

477
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: Kirk is going to win sooner rather than later. His

478
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: record here is not great. I believe nothing inside the

479
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,239
Speaker 1: top forty, top thirty in five starts here, but he's

480
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: played really well top tens in his last five individual starts.

481
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: He's plus fifty five hundred.

482
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:04,359

Speaker 4: Thanks for listening. Now back to the show.

513
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 2: So I'm going down further down the board, and maybe

514
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 2: this is recency biased because of last week, but there's

515
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: a guy at one twenty five to one, coming off

516
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: a runner up finished last week, a pass champion of

517
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: this golf tournament. He leads all players in birdie average

518
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: in this tournament since twenty fifteen. He leads all players

519
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 2: in strokes gain total in this tournament since twenty fifteen.

520
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 2: Charles Schwartzel has worse odds than Phil Mickelson this week

521
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: to win. I don't get that. I know what. Schwartzel

522
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 2: hasn't been a peak player in the game for quite time,

523
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 2: but he really likes this golf course. He obviously played

524
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 2: well enough to contend along with Louis Eustaysen last week

525
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 2: in New Orleans. I think there's a lot of value there.

526
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have a couple of different bets on sports

527
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: till this week, probably the outright kind of a little

528
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 2: bit of a flyer. I don't really expect that to happen,

529
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: but if I've got him to outright at that number,

530
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: I mean why not. And then some top ten, top

531
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: twenty action on him as well.

532
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: A couple other former champions here. I believe the first

533
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: one's former champion, Gary Woodland won this event.

534
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: At one point, I don't think so.

535
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: No. I thought Gary Woodland one of the one of these.

536
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: I'm sure I bet on him, and I dreamed that

537
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: he won and that it never happened.

538
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: But Woodland is miscut each of the last two starts here.

539
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. So we hate Gary Woodland here,

540
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: but I just love the number. I know he hasn't

541
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: played great lately, but eighty to one this week. And

542
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: then a guy I know that won this event, Adam Hadwin,

543
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: who's trending in the right direction. He is ninety to one.

544
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: He's a guy that I feel like, you don't really

545
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: pick that often. But quite honestly, a year ago, if

546
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: we had said, hey, who's the best Canadian, it's like

547
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: had Win, Connors, Hughes kind of take your pick. And

548
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: now Connors is the third favorite in the field, and

549
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: Hadwin is sitting down there at ninety to one at

550
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: an event he's won in the past. There's not that

551
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: much of a discrepancy between them.

552
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 2: And the last time this tournament was held twenty nineteen.

553
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 2: Most difficult greens in regulation to hit on the PGA Tour,

554
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 2: everybody is going to have to get up and down.

555
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: Adam Hadwin's on a short list of best short games

556
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 2: on tour, So he's somebody who's up there in those

557
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: statistics year in year out, chipping and putting. A guy

558
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 2: who doesn't need to hit the ball a long way

559
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 2: to score.

560
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: I kind of like that call, all right, anybody further

561
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: down the list, I'm just kind of scrolling through the

562
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: sort of bottom of this with some big numbers. JT.

563
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: Posten's a guy I don't mind this week. Sceptstraka is

564
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: a guy that really interests me. He's a guy that

565
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: I think is on the rise. The results haven't really

566
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: shown it, but he was a co first round leader

567
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: alongside Joel Damon two years ago, shot seventy six in

568
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: the second round, another seventy six in the final round,

569
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: finished in I believe forty sixth place, but still had

570
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: a really nice start to the week and can play

571
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: some good golf here and then I'll throw Actually two guys,

572
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: Peter Yulene, who's on a little bit of a heater.

573
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: I mentioned it last week. I've been waiting ten years

574
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: for Peter ulign to be on a heater, and so

575
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to not be on it when he

576
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 1: actually gets on that heater. And then a guy that

577
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: I always like it and I've talked about it on

578
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: the pod before, a guy that if you just put

579
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: a paper bag over everybody's head on the range, and

580
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: he said, Okay, who's got a good swing, who's got

581
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: the right build, who's got the bet? Jonathan Vegas to me,

582
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: and I've said it one hundred times. He just looks

583
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: like he should be a top thirty player, And maybe

584
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: it says more about him that he's not than that

585
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: he looks like one. But every time I watch the

586
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: guy play, I'm like, man, guy's really really good, and

587
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't know why he hasn't really broken through and been.

588
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean he's a fine player, he's a good player,

589
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: a good champion. Yeah, but two hundred to one, I

590
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: mean that's a big number. I Mean he's down there

591
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: with some guys that probably don't deserve to be necessarily

592
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: on the same level as him.

593
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: So another guy I see right now at two hundred

594
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: to one, Graham McDowell, is interesting to me. Another guy

595
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 2: that we said, listen, I told you that driving distance

596
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: is not as significant this week as normal as week

597
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: to week on the PGA Tour. That helps Graham McDowell.

598
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: He ranks third and birdies are better per round at

599
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: the Bowspark Championship. Since twenty fifteen, he's sixth in strokes,

600
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 2: gan putting him this course. In that span. We saw

601
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 2: the great hole in one last week in Louisiana. Maybe

602
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 2: there's a little bit of that image in my mind

603
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 2: popping up. But a couple of numbers are pretty positive

604
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: for McDowell this week, and he's the kind of player

605
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: that you can see have success here. If you look

606
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: at some of the guys who have high finishes at

607
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: the Bowspark Championship. It really fits that mold that driving

608
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 2: distance isn't as important this week as it is on

609
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 2: a lot of the courses on the PGA Tour. We

610
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 2: mentioned Tiger when he contended to twenty eighteen and Connors

611
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 2: was the fifty four hole leader. The biggest thing for

612
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods that week. That everyone kind of took away

613
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: storyline wise, was how conservative he was off the tee.

614
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 2: He didn't hit a lot of drivers, He hit a

615
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: lot of three woods just simply because he didn't need

616
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: to on that golf course, and he was able to

617
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: separate himself with iron play. So I think you can

618
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: look for some guys who don't necessarily hit the ball

619
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: a long way. I guarantee you there's gonna be a

620
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: guy in the top ten this week who was outside

621
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 2: the top two hundred and driving distance this season. That

622
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: was a prop that on MGM that would be a

623
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: bet I would make.

624
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we can make that happen. We can

625
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: get that up there. By the way, if we're looking

626
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: way down the list. Just a guy that I'm taking

627
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: just based on the fact that at some point, again

628
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: much like some of the other players I've talked about,

629
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: at some point things are going to turn around for him.

630
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna start playing good golf again. And I want

631
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: to be on the right side of it and not

632
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: the wrong side of it. But I'm keeping an eye

633
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: on Kevin Chapel. And I've said this before, but I

634
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: Kevin Chapel I've made the Daniel Berger comparison. They were

635
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: on the President's Cup team together in in seventeen, I.

636
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 2: Believe, Yeah, Liberty in Nashville.

637
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: And so Daniel Berger say thing like hey, really good player,

638
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: career on the up, gets hurt, sort of falls off

639
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: the face of the earth for a little while, comes back.

640
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that Chapel's going to necessarily become a

641
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: top fifteen player in the world like Burger has, but

642
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: I do think that at some point in the not

643
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: too distant future, Kevin Chappel is gonna start reminding us

644
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: why he was on the President's Cup team in the

645
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: first place.

646
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, to talented, not to get back to a more

647
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: consistent place in his game in terms of results week

648
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: in week at I'm with you five minutes, five questions

649
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: you never asked.

650
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. I get a little

651
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: irritated when somebody called me away from my golf.

652
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 3: This is five under all right, let's.

653
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: Get to our five questions and then do our DFS

654
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: line up for the week.

655
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: Okay, my turn to ask the five questions. A number one, sixteen, seventeen,

656
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 2: and eighteen this week, and it is called the snake pit.

657
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 2: What is your favorite nickname for any stretch of holes

658
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: on a golf course? It seems like there's been in

659
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 2: recent years a little bit of an oversaturation, you know,

660
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 2: But I know I have my favorite, and I'm gonna

661
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 2: reveal my Texas bias with my favorite. But what's your

662
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 2: favorite nickname for any stretch of holes on a golf course?

663
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 2: Doesn't have to be on the PGA Tour, can be anything,

664
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 2: any track you play, your local course, whatever it might be.

665
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, yeah, I will. You have a Texas bias.

666
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: I have a little Georgia bias, by the way I

667
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: go with you know, my favorite is a West Oh

668
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: you get out in that that far corner called Satan's

669
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: Team when it gets really hot out there, we won't

670
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: go there. But a little place in Georgia that has

671
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: this row of holes called Amen Corner that I always

672
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: thought that was a pretty good nickname.

673
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 2: Pretty good. That that one you can't go wrong with.

674
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's the go to. That's I mean,

675
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 2: that's the best.

676
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: Right. This is family feud. I have, like you know,

677
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: points or whatever.

678
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 2: Like at the top of the board, I said, mine's

679
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: a little Texas biased. I love the name Horrible Horseshoe

680
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: at Colonial. Some really it's a stretch of really tough

681
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 2: golf holes and it's one of the only one of

682
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: these stretches of holes that's on the front nine. Typically

683
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 2: always that these these stretches of holes on these famous

684
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 2: golf courses of that nicknames. They're always coming down the stretch.

685
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: But Horrible Horseshoe at Colonial, I think it's three four five,

686
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 2: very beginning of the golf course. But that's that's my answer.

687
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: Corner though Hogan's Alley. There's like six Hogan's.

688
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: Alleys by the way, right, Yeah, well, you know.

689
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: Everywhere he played and played well.

690
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: I like to say that, like there's players like Hogan,

691
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: Nicholas Woods, like their their favorite golf course terrain, Like

692
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: what kind of golf course do they fit? My answer

693
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 2: is Planet Earth, that's what golf course they fit. So yeah,

694
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 2: a lot of Hogan's alleys everywhere. Number two Paul Casey

695
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 2: is going for a three peat this week. As we

696
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier, there have been eight three peats on the

697
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 2: PGA Tour in the last forty years. Six are by

698
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods and you name the other two. The two

699
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: in the last forty years. Not by mister Eldrick Woods.

700
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: I think I can get one because you mentioned it earlier.

701
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: Threw away my question. Yeah, Steve Stricker of the.

702
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: John Deere, which I probably wasn't getting if you hadn't

703
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: mentioned it early. But I like that you threw a

704
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: little easter egg in there for the audience to see

705
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: if they were paying attention.

706
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: I was.

707
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to go, oh, this is a tough one.

708
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: I think. I think Johnny Miller did it.

709
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: Incorrect? Would you like a hint? Yeah, of course not

710
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 2: not in mainland United States.

711
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: Stuart Appleby didn't do it. Couple did he?

712
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 2: Oh he did?

713
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: Live? Oh?

714
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: Six three of them I re straight at the Tournament

715
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 2: of Champions though, So the there have been eight in

716
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: the last forty years. Six or my tiger, and the

717
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 2: other two are Stuart Appleby and Mauley and Steve Stricker

718
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 2: at the John Deer Classic.

719
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: Hang on, let me call Johnny Miller and get his

720
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: take on that.

721
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 2: Well, Johnny, I think did in this. I know the

722
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 2: list right in front of me, but one before in

723
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: that stretch of forty years, there's some Nicholas, there's some Watson.

724
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 2: I think there's a Johnny Miller maybe in oh good point.

725
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, you did say forty years. I was thinking

726
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: we were still in two thousand and seven x nineteen eight.

727
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: We're in twenty twenty one, so yeah, but there.

728
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 2: Were none, there were I don't think there were any in.

729
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: The twenty one minus forty. Yeah, okay, that's before Johnny. Okay, well,

730
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 1: all right, that's.

731
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 2: Okay, you got I gave you this. I'll give you.

732
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 2: You get a B plus on that answer. Well, I

733
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 2: mean you get appleby I mean, come on, that's pretty solid.

734
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: If Johnny Miller is one of them, and we'll check

735
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: it out. If he's one of them, I want credit

736
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: for credit for the effort, just an f for the math.

737
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll find I'll find the answer when you do

738
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 2: an ad read later. Let's let's see if I can

739
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 2: race against the clock. All right, Number three of our

740
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 2: five questions. The t boxes at this quot this week

741
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 2: for the Valspar Championship are paint cans, which I always

742
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 2: thought was kind of a little dorky, but it's fun.

743
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: I like it. You know, you gotta do the tie in.

744
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 2: What is your favorite tea box marker on the PGA Tour?

745
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 2: I will answer mine mine. I have always found the

746
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 2: little FedEx trucks in Tennessee to be I always they

747
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 2: always make me laugh. I don't know why, because every

748
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: you know, inside every grown man as a nine year old,

749
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 2: I guess, and you think about playing with trucks as

750
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 2: a kid, but the little tiny FedEx trucks. And by

751
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 2: the way, I was not paid by the PGA Tour

752
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: or FedEx cups to say this, but I always thought

753
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 2: that was kind of a little fun thing paint cans.

754
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 2: This week, what is your favorite tea box marker on

755
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 2: the tour?

756
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: Do is John er F Tractors. Yes, Okay, there we go.

757
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 2: Nice number four. I mentioned the stat about Louius Tasan,

758
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 2: with nine runner up finishes on the PGA Tour spread

759
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 2: across this incredible array of different types of events. Louisus

760
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 2: Tasan ever win a PGA Tour event on US soil.

761
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: Other than the Mackenzie's moment at Golden ocala five man scramble.

762
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 2: Right yeah, unofficially.

763
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I feel like it's just mean to say, no.

764
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 2: That golf swing's got to win one, right.

765
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so, that golf swing put one so

766
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: far into the water that Like, I don't know where

767
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 1: he was going on in the playoff on eighteen, but yeah,

768
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: I'll say yes, just because I just feel like that's

769
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: a direct blow to Louis that you know, if you

770
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: say no, you'll never win one on you Like, Yeah,

771
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: it's something I don't know. Never is a long time.

772
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: That swing a hold up for another ten years. I

773
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: think at some point he just kind of and we

774
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: just mentioned the John Deere. He loves going to the

775
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 1: John Deere because he loves playing with tractors and doing

776
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: farm work. John Deere, how about that?

777
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 2: There you go? That mean that'd be perfect. They can

778
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 2: maybe give him a tracker.

779
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: Like they have before.

780
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 2: I think, I don't know, so I'm with you. I

781
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 2: think he has to win. I mean, one of the

782
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 2: best golf swings in the last twenty years or so

783
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: in the professional game is yeah, so smooth, gotta love it.

784
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, that was more of me just baiting in

785
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 2: saying we've got to see this guy win on an

786
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 2: event on US soil. It's got to happen eventually. Number five,

787
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 2: fifth and final question over under twelve more months for

788
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 2: Cameron Smith's mullet, he said, he said, apologies to his girlfriend.

789
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 2: He's got to keep it now, he's got a w

790
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 2: with that thing. I'm convinced statistically, just analytically speaking, it's

791
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 2: worth a quarter shot around.

792
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: Straight up, I think it goes away at some point.

793
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: I think that he is playing to the crowd right now.

794
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: I think that he did it on a lark, just thinking, hey,

795
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: this would be funny, and he did it, and they

796
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: played really well and got some notoriety from it. And

797
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: then this week it was like mullets, mullets, mullets everywhere

798
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: and Leishman wears one, they play the mullet song, they win.

799
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: Now it's like he's gotta keep it, even if he

800
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: doesn't want to keep it. I like it. I was

801
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 1: asking this a similar question on PGA Tour Radio earlier today.

802
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: Taylor's ours are asked me about the mall that I said,

803
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: it's kind of like Johnson Wagner's mustache a few years ago.

804
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: We're like, at some point, even if he wants to

805
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: get rid of it, he can't because that's all he's

806
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: known for now.

807
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say that it's almost reaching a saturation point,

808
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 2: where like I thought during the Masters last year, when

809
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 2: it was kind of in its it was in its infancy.

810
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 2: It wasn't full mullet, but like he he had like

811
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 2: a Larry Bird nineteen eighty eight three point shooting contest.

812
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 2: Look going with the with the blonde mustache and the

813
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 2: little you know Tennessee waterfall hanging out the bat. I think, look,

814
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's gonna last twelve more months.

815
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 2: I'm with you. There's a little bit of a saturation point.

816
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 2: But shoot, it's working man. He's playing the best golf

817
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: of his professional career over these last few months. So

818
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. You gotta until look in my in

819
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: my world, it's whenever the missus says it's time time

820
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: to get it cleaned up because I got a target audience.

821
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 2: One appearance.

822
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: Yeah no, he doesn't seem like he cares like girlfriend

823
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: says no, get rid of it. He's like, eh no,

824
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: I'll keep it.

825
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: I'm playing well, well, oh yeah, a little different, right,

826
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 2: And then we got a rig I.

827
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,239

Speaker 2: No, I've got loading issues. I feel like. So I

845
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 2: was the researcher in Sports Center, and I feel like

846
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: it was one of those instances where I've got thirty seconds.

847
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 2: So they come back from break and I've just been

848
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 2: shouted at from across the studio how many games back

849
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 2: the pirates are in the NL Central or something, you know,

850
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: and you've got like no time left to look it up.

851
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: But I've been in that studio for those very same

852
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: calls and it's awesome, and you guys would always like,

853
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,479
Speaker 1: you know you and the great research team would always

854
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, and we're back in five four three,

855
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: You're like six and a half games back, right, that's

856
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: the bilo eyes up.

857
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 2: Like you're just yelling it out right before, right before

858
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 2: break ins.

859
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 4: Yeah.

860
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: No, it's always a race against time. But no, I'm

861
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 2: still efforting this answer.

862
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: One question for me. You got five questions. I got

863
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: one question for you, Madison Bumgarner no hitter and or

864
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: no no hitter.

865
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 2: I think the way they've labeled it is the way

866
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,919
Speaker 2: they should do it is unofficial. You gotta go nine.

867
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 2: The rules of the game are it's a nine inning,

868
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: It's a nine inning game.

869
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: They've changed the rules.

870
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I know, extra innings, the runners on second

871
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 2: to start, you know, I don't know, I don't know.

872
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 2: I'm good either way. It's total. No hitter has been

873
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 2: starting valued anyway.

874
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: On second to start. That's that's like I said, Louis

875
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: whose days and she's still on the eighteenth t At

876
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: the Zori Classic on Sunday afternoon, during the playoff and said, hey,

877
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: why don't we just put our balls in the fairway.

878
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: If baseball can start with a runner on second base

879
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: and extra innings, Yeah.

880
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 2: Now we're gonna have a chip off to see who wins,

881
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 2: you know, or it's it's it's crazy.

882
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: I don't know how.

883
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 2: I mean, I understand the reasoning behind it, but I'm

884
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 2: not I'm not too wild about you know, that rule

885
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 2: in base neither.

886
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: We want to be a DFS millionaire. You're just one

887
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: lineup away. We're gonna go with them to play better

888
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: than you ever dreamed of. God damn it, that's what

889
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: I demand of you. So let's get drafting. Would you

890
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 1: like to receive or defer? I will defer. I think

891
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 1: it's a good week to go with a lot of

892
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: like sort of mid range, Like I like lineup construction

893
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: of like four or five guys that are maybe just

894
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: above the average salary, and then like one or two

895
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: guys that are way below and try to hit on

896
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: one of those guys. Because I think the guys on

897
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: DraftKings that are in the eighty two hundred to ninety

898
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: two hundred range, I think there's a lot of players

899
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 1: that we like in there. So I'll start with one

900
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: of them. Let's go Justin Rose at eighty eight hundred.

901
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: Like I said, I just feel like he's on the

902
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: right trajectory, trending in the right direction, should be a

903
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: good course for him. So let's do that.

904
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 2: Eighty eight Okay, I like it, And that's not that's

905
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 2: a pretty good price for a guy of that caliber.

906
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 2: I think eighty eight hundred. Yeah, especially in the fields

907
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 2: kind of surprisingly strong. I know we were talking about before

908
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 2: we went on air, you know, when the schedule came

909
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 2: out and saw als Bar and May, and you know

910
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 2: it's right there between the team event, the Masters, the

911
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 2: PGA Championship. You know, I thought maybe the field would

912
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 2: suffer pretty big, but it's actually a pretty strong field

913
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,240
Speaker 2: this week, all things considered. I mentioned this guy earlier

914
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 2: past winter at this event leads all players and birdies

915
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 2: are better per round at this golf tournament since twenty fifteen.

916
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 2: Charles Schwartzel at seventy one hundred seems like a really

917
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 2: good value to me. All the different metrics he's really

918
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 2: good at at this golf tournament, whether it's tee to

919
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 2: green or putting. So I think there's some value there

920
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 2: and it saves us a little money going down the board.

921
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 2: So seventy one hundred for Charles Schwartz.

922
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to look at some guys down the board.

923
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of them I love. I

924
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: mentioned posting earlier, he's at seventy two hundred. Mentioned Vegas,

925
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: he's seventy one hundred. I can get down with some

926
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: Johnny Vegas this week. Let's go with one low price

927
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: guy since you did it, and then we can spend

928
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: up a little bit for the remaining three guys. But

929
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: I'll go Johnny Vegas at seventy one hundred. I said,

930
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: I don't love him, but you look at the stats,

931
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: look at the result. Seventy ninth in his last start,

932
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: missed the cut at the Texas Open. Before that, eighteenth

933
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: at the Corrals, thirtieth of the Honda, sixty first at

934
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: the Players, second in Puerto Rico, fiftieth at Pedable forty first.

935
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: We went over to Saudi Arabia. The guy makes cuts,

936
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: and I think for a player at seventy one hundred,

937
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,439
Speaker 1: make the cut this week, make a little run, maybe

938
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 1: a top thirty, and if we hit with the guys

939
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: on the other end of the roster lineup. I think

940
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: we can be pretty safe with Vegas in the lineup.

941
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 2: I like it. I'm good with that plan. I'm gonna

942
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 2: go with a guy you mentioned earlier that was one

943
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 2: on my short list of contenders this week, Jason Kokrak

944
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 2: at eighty seven hundred, He's ranked third in strokes kan

945
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 2: teena green at this tournament the last five years he's ranked,

946
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 2: whereas he third in strokes gain approach at this tournament

947
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 2: per round since twenty fourteen. All kinds of good numbers

948
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 2: for Jason Cookrack this week. I know he's a guy

949
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 2: who gets a lot of attention for his driving ability.

950
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 2: Usually when people think about Jason Cokrack can think about

951
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 2: what he does off the tee. But he's becoming a

952
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 2: really well balanced player for the bag and he's got

953
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 2: some of the best metrics of his career this season,

954
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 2: all all over every skill set. So Jason Cokrack good

955
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 2: value there at eighty seven hundred with his core SI history.

956
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: So I want to go with Sun Jim because he

957
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 1: is my favorite outright play this week, and I can

958
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 1: be still talked in to him. I certainly obviously like him,

959
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: But my next pick, I'd like to make a case

960
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: for this guy, because we talked earlier about Corey Connors

961
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: being the third favorite in this field, behind only Justin

962
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: Thomas and Dustin Johnson. And yet when you go on DraftKings,

963
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: you see, Okay, there's Justin Thomas, there's Dustin Johnson that

964
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: correlates very well to the betting markets. Then Victor Hovland,

965
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: and then Patrick Reid, and then Paul Casey, and then

966
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: Scotti Scheffler, and then Corey Connors, who's seventh in the

967
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 1: pricing on DraftKings while only third in the betting markets.

968
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: To me, that screams value. Corey Connors might be a

969
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: better DFS play than a bet this week. And so

970
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: at ninety six hundred, I like him a lot for

971
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 1: a lineup.

972
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 2: Okay, that's good. So now he got eighty seven hundred left,

973
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 2: I'm scanning through here. Yeah, Max Home at eighty one hundred,

974
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 2: missed the cut each of his last three starts here.

975
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 2: Going to move on from him. You talked about Gary Woodland.

976
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 2: He hasn't been playing great recently, you know, so I'm

977
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 2: not real crazy about him. You know, Kevin Kisner feels

978
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 2: like a player his profile fits here, but he really

979
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 2: surprises me. Him and Scott Brown missing the cut in Louisiana.

980
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 2: That was kind of surprising.

981
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 1: So as you're going through some names, I want to

982
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: ask you a question because a guy that I like

983
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: this week played well in a team event last week,

984
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: and he really has been playing well. He's got four

985
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: straight top thirty finishes. But Keegan Bradley relies on his

986
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: driver for a lot of strokes game, and you said

987
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: earlier that driver is not going to matter as much

988
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: on this golf course. Do we like Keegan this week

989
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: or no? He would be one one I would fade.

990
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,760
Speaker 1: That's the perfect profile of somebody who I would fade.

991
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: I think he's contended to this tournament in the past.

992
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't have an upright in front of me, but

993
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: he relies a lot on that driver to gain a

994
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: lot of strokes, and statistically he's one of the worst

995
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: putters on the PGA Tour players typically winners over the

996
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: last ten years, they have gained the highest percentage of

997
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: their strokes have come from putting, which is kind of

998
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: abnormal for a PGA Tour event.

999
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 2: So I would kind of fade Keegan this week. I'm

1000
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 2: going to go with a guy who we both agree

1001
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 2: is on the verge of coming back and getting a win.

1002
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 2: Chris Kirk at eighty two hundred, I think is a

1003
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 2: good way to round out our team. He's, you know,

1004
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 2: we talked about just you know, coming back from the

1005
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 2: university's face. He just seems to be trending in that

1006
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 2: right direction. I think he's a I think he's a

1007
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 2: good value. Here is a player whose profile statistically kind

1008
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 2: of fits so under to have success in this golf tournament.

1009
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 2: And we leave a little money on the table, five

1010
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 2: hundred on the table, which I know we like to do.

1011
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: Don't just you know, blindly go for the most expensive

1012
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 2: guy left. I'll take Chris Kirk at eighty two.

1013
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: Hundred, Corey Connors, Chris Kirk, Jason Kokrak, Justin Rose, Charles Schwartz,

1014
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: and Jonathan Vegas. I think if those two guys, the

1015
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: two kind of flyers at the bottom of that lineup,

1016
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: show up this week, that could be a really really

1017
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: strong one. I like that.

1018
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 2: Line agreed to one hundred percent. This scream six for

1019
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 2: six making the cut to me.

1020
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: I think we say that every week. Though the lineup

1021
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,720
Speaker 1: always looks good on Monday, that's.

1022
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 2: Right, all every time. Every time.

1023
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go big this week just because why the

1024
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 1: hell not. So it feels like a good week to

1025
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: get after it and hope everybody.

1026
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 2: Else why not. You only get one valves Bar Championship

1027
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 2: a year, so.

1028
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get one every two years.

1029
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 2: That's true.

1030
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes, I mean it's been a while.

1031
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: We got to celebrate. So yeah, it's like, you know,

1032
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: we've had We've had Ryder Cups that have happened closer

1033
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,240
Speaker 1: together than we have Valspar Championships.

1034
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 2: So hey, Tampa is having a sports renaissance, right They're

1035
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 2: about an hour away from Tampa, so.
