Speaker 2: More on Underdog and It's golf contests a little bit later, Boll,

20
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: I want to start by thanking you for giving me

21
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: the courage to bet on Rory McElroy at the Wells

22
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: Fargo Championship last week. That might sound like a strange

23
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: thing to say, considering that Rory was the betting favorite

24
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 2: at either plus six fifty or plus seven hundred, depending

25
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: on where you went. But Rory's only win this year

26
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 2: had been the Zuri Classic Team Events kind of a

27
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: garbage events that he won with Shane Lowry and Mceilroy

28
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: finished third at the Valero Texas Open in early April,

29
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: but his only other top twenty finish this season was

30
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: a tie for nineteenth of the Players Championship.

31
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: Rory has traditionally played really well.

32
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: At Quail Hollow, but he died for forty seventh last

33
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: year after I had bet on him. And if you

34
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: can't back Rory at Quail Hollow, where can you back him?

35
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: So you reassured me.

36
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: Bo You pointed out that the length of Quail Hollow

37
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: might sort of negate Rory's erratic wedge game, which I

38
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: think it did, so I did, in fact bet Rory

39
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: last week and it obviously paid off. Sunday boiled down

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: to a match play duel between Rory and Xander Schoffley,

41
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: and Shoffley took a one shot lead into the final

42
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: round was up two after making an eagle on the

43
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: par five seventh. Then Rory just went bonkers eight under

44
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: power over his next eight holes, just just squeezed the

45
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: life out of poor Xander. Rory hit a seven shot

46
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: lead going into the final hole, and maybe Rory was

47
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: trying to send a message to Xander and perhaps some

48
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: other competitors when he aggressively fired at the pin with

49
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 2: his approach on eighteen and wound up in the creek

50
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: behind the green. But at that point the victory was

51
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: a mere formality. And even with that double bogie, Rory

52
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: finished five shots. I had a Shoffley and seven shots.

53
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: Excuse me, eight shots. I had a third place ben on.

54
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: Rory just put on a clinic at Quel Hollowbow And

55
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: this was a course that was playing firm and fast

56
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: all week long, and yet Rory made it look like

57
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: some pushover, like the the course at hosted the Myrtle

58
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: Beach Classic. So as for Xander Shaffley, this tournament did

59
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: nothing to shake his reputation as a player who has

60
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: trouble closing and possibly lacks killer instinct. Boe your thoughts

61
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: on the Wells Fargo Championship.

62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: I think we'll pump the brinks on the Xander Schaffley analysis,

63
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: because he didn't lose that tournament like Xanderswoffley would have

64
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: blown that tournament away. But Rory was on such a

65
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: run on Sunday that was a magical round, and if

66
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 3: he had just made par on eighteen, he would have

67
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: shot a sixty three. A sixty three at Quail Hollow

68
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: in those conditions. That's how good Rory is at his best,

69
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: and there's a lot to be said about his form

70
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: coming in not Rory's usual successful self. We've seen a

71
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: lot better of Rory in years past. What he did

72
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: on Sunday Fount was him finding his peak and that's

73
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: a really good time to do it. Sixty five on Sunday,

74
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: which very easily could have been a sixty three if

75
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: he wasn't messing around on eighteen. He had the thing

76
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: in the bag in a huge lead, and it wasn't

77
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: Xander's fault that he got beat by a pretty historic round.

78
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 3: So I'll say Xander is a gold medalist. He's won

79
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 3: plenty of times before, he just hasn't had quite the

80
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: quite enough to win in the last almost two years.

81
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: He's still a world class player. This guy's still stacking

82
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 3: top fives and top tens every week. The time will

83
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: come for him. He's too good not to not to

84
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 3: keep betting on because it's eventually going to break through

85
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 3: because he's that good. But Rory, my god, I mean,

86
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: that was exactly what I was hoping to see. It

87
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: is what I expected to see. And I am very

88
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: glad that not only did I bet Rory, but I

89
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 3: bet him with the most exposure, and I put the

90
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 3: most money on him this last week as I have

91
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 3: on any one player the entire season, and so that

92
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 3: that's a really good feeling as a golf better to

93
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 3: bet somebody with so much confidence and then to watch

94
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 3: them go and pull it off just how we hoped.

95
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: So, yeah, you were, you were extremely confident last week.

96
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: It was It helps that Rory hits such a high ball.

97
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Apex line that he has combined with the

98
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 3: carry distance. He was playing a different golf course entirely.

99
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: I mean the whole number one, very very long part

100
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,559
Speaker 3: four over five hundred yards. He was hitting a gap

101
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: wedge into that hole on Sunday, and that's because he

102
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: was taking a line that wasn't just aggressive, it was

103
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: some It was a line that nobody else in the

104
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: field could even even attempt.

105
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean like that course was set up

106
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: at basically Major's distance, US Open, PGA type distance.

107
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: Imagine if they had grown the rough out longer.

108
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: Oh well, we're not gonna have to imagine. We're gonna

109
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: get some longer.

110
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 3: Rough very very similar course this week.

111
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 2: Very And as for the other events on the PGA

112
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: Tour calendar last week, Chris got her Up won the

113
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: Myrtle Beach Classic and rather easily got her Up finished

114
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: minus twenty two, six shots better than Davis Thompson and

115
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: Alistair Doherty. So not much drama. Not much drama down

116
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: the stretch, and really either of the tournaments last week.

117
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: We'll get to the PGA Championship preview in just a minute,

00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: held at Valhalla Country Club, a Jack Nicholas design in

131
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: we lopo. I'm a Northerner, so I pronounced it louis Vill,

132
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: but I know it's supposed to be pronounced Louisville or

133
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: something like that.

134
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: Anyway, he just rounded off Louisville. Okay, I'll not villa

135
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: like vu hl Louvo Louisville.

136
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: Valhalla has posted has hosted three previous PGA Championships, the

137
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: first in nineteen ninety six, when Mark Brooks beat Kenny

138
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: Perry in a playoff, finishing minus eleven. In the year

139
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: two thousand, Tiger Woods won that memorable duel against Bob

140
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: May also went to a playoff. Tiger had finished minus

141
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: eighteen in that and in twenty fourteen, Rory McElroy finished

142
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 2: minus sixteen to win by one strokeover Phil Mickelson. Valhalla

143
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: is a par seventy one that will play two seven,

144
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: six hundred and nine yards and Like Quail Hollow, Valhalla

145
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: is a lengthy course. The shortest of the par threes

146
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: is one hundred and ninety yards, the longest is the

147
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty four yard fourteenth. Five of the

148
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: par fours measure at least four hundred and eighty four yards.

149
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: All of the par fives are between five hundred and

150
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 2: seventy yards and five hundred and ninety four yards, so.

151
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: They're reachable, but not easily reachable.

152
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: Valhalla replaced its bent grass fairways with xeon Zeusa grass

153
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: fairways a few years ago. The Zouja plays firm and fast,

154
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: so we are going to see some big drives this week,

155
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: but we are also going to see a lot of

156
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 2: drives that roll through the fairway and into the rough,

157
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: which is reportedly nice and thick thanks to an early

158
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: spring in Kentucky. The little patches of rock between the

159
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: fairways and the fairway bunkers at Valhalla have been removed,

160
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: so you're gonna see a lot of players hitting from

161
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: the sand this week, and beware of Floyd's Fork, the

162
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: stream that comes into play on a handful of holes.

163
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: The greens are bent grass and they are on the

164
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: small side. There is some rain in the forecast for

165
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: Friday and possibly Saturday, but the wind should be moderate

166
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 2: throughout the tournaments. Bo please give me your thoughts on

167
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: Valhalla and what it's going to take to win on

168
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: this course.

169
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: It's another full bag test. It's a lot like Quail

170
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: Hollow in the way that it challenges from tee to green.

171
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: On the green, it tests your metal mentally, physically. It's

172
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 3: a long course, it takes a lot off the tee,

173
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 3: and there's more penalty than there was last week for

174
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: an errant t shot, So you're gonna see guys out

175
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: there bombing it to get a shorter club in their hand,

176
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 3: but don't expect to see many guys holding these really tight,

177
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: tiny greens. We're talking. This is the third longest golf

178
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: course they're going to have all season, and it's also

179
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 3: got the top five smallest greens, and so with the

180
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: rough growing out like it is, you're going to see

181
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 3: a lot of miss greens. So I think scrambling is huge,

182
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 3: bogie avoidance is huge, and I think the real test

183
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: is going to be how how well you can avoid

184
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: the big number. So I'm looking at bogie avoidance and

185
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 3: double bogie avoidance because par on a lot of these

186
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 3: holes is going to be really good. You're going to

187
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: gain strokes on the field with pars and the three

188
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: or four maybe five birdy opportunities that are on this course,

189
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 3: you better convert those. If you don't, you're you're going

190
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: to be shooting over par and probably won't see the weekend.

191
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: So I do expect to see some great golf with

192
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 3: reasonable good, reasonably good scoring that this course will reward

193
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 3: good good shot making. It will reward good shots all around,

194
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: So don't expect it to be brutally difficult, but expect

195
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 3: the guys who are struggling with any one piece of

196
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 3: their game to fizzle out quickly and miss the weekend.

197
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, just to reiterate winning scores at the three PGA

198
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 2: Championships that have been played here minus eleven, minus eighteen,

199
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: minus sixteen, so you can score here. Yeah, it is gettable,

200
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: but it will also beat you up if you are

201
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: not on top of your game. We will get to

211
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: Monday afternoon. New Dad Scottie Scheffler returns to action this week,

212
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: and after winning four of the last five events he

213
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 2: entered stumbling horribly with a tie for second place and

214
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: his other event in those last five, it should come

215
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: as no surprise that Scotty is a heavy favorite at

216
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: plus four hundred. Rory, who won here in twenty fourteen,

217
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: is plus seven hundred Xanderschoffli plus twelve hundred, Brooks Koepka

218
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 2: plus fourteen hundred, John Rahm plus sixteen hundred, Ludwig Oberg

219
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: plus eighteen hundred, Bryce and d Chambeau plus twenty two hundred,

220
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 2: Maxhoma plus twenty five hundred, Kalin Morikawall plus twenty eight hundred,

221
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: Joaque Neeman plus three thousand, Tommy Fleetwood and Patrick Cantley

222
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: plus thirty five hundred, and at plus four thousand, we

223
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: have the trio of Wyndham Clark, Victor Hoveland and Cameron Smith.

224
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: What do you like from this group?

225
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 3: Both right off the bat, you gotta look at Rory

226
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 3: McElroy again. This is a very comparable course, a little tougher,

227
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: but what we saw from Rory McElroy this last week

228
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 3: was so impressive. And I've run a couple of preliminary

229
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 3: models and he's number one in all of those too,

230
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 3: even over Scottish. And that comes as a surprise to

231
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 3: some because of how dominant Scheffler has been in the stats,

232
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 3: the Strokes gained stats. I mean, Scotty Scheffler sweeps the board.

233
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 3: But when I go to longer golf courses over seventy

234
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 3: four hundred yards and I changed the filter to bent

235
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: grass greens, he drops down out of the top ten,

236
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: which should be a It raised my eyebrows. That should

237
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 3: surprise everyone. But the one who popped up right to

238
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 3: the top is Rory McElroy, along with some really good

239
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 3: long shots. So we can take a shot at but

240
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 3: brooks Kepka brooks Kepka in the PGA Championship. He's won

241
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 3: this thing three times, not necessarily a valhalla yet, but

242
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 3: we're talking about a guy who's just as hot as anybody.

243
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: Rory's won his last two events, Scotty's won his last

244
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: two events, and four of the last five. Brooks kept

245
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 3: had just won in Singapore. This is a battle of

246
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: the Titans, and we are this place. VA already sold

247
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: out all the PGA Championship tickets, They sold out all

248
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 3: their hospitality. This is a main event, must see TV,

249
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 3: and we get to watch it for free. Pad But Scotty, Rory, Brooks, Koepka.

250
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 3: There's probably a host of other guys that are worthy

251
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 3: of claim, but they're not getting bet on like those

252
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: three guys. Even John Rahm at sixteen to one is

253
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: insane to me. That's a really, really soft number for

254
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: a guy that good. His recent form kind of scares

255
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 3: you off of that. And even Xander Schoffley, he matches

256
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: ups extremely well with this golf course too, just the

257
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 3: same as last week. So I would start with Rory,

258
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: and I think I'll lean towards Koepka as my next one.

259
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: In Let me just press you on Rory for a second.

260
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: You're okay with that price?

261
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: Seven to one, seven and a half to one is

262
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: what I see right now on Monday afternoon. The only

263
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 3: thing that scares me with him is with the way

264
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 3: I'm filtering it. His putting is nearly dead last in

265
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 3: this field on bent grass, and he's one hundred and

266
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 3: thirty third in scrambling. So if he's a little bit

267
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: off with his approaches, which he was, he was spot

268
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 3: on last week. But those approaches, he has to stay

269
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: sharp there or he's going to fizzle out quickly. Because

270
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 3: if you're if you're hoping Rory is gonna be ald

271
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: to miss greens like he did last week and get

272
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: away with it. It won't happen at Valhalla that that

273
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 3: gorse that course will eat him alive. But I mean

274
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 3: he did win the last Valhalla PGA Championship. It was

275
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 3: a long time ago, back in a different Rory era,

276
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: But I think if he can stay in play, he's

277
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 3: gonna he's gonna have a run at it.

278
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

279
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: I do worry a little bit about the weight of

280
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 2: great expectations on Rory, but then again, he hasn't fared

281
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: well in recent majors when expectations weren't so high, and

282
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: so I don't know.

283
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 3: He's number one on approach in this field and that

284
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: that's better than Scotty in these conditions.

285
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned Brooks, the three time PGA Championship winner,

286
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: five time major winner, defending PGA champion, and as you said,

287
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: he won in Singapore a couple of weeks ago. And oh,

288
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: by the way, bo the last time the PGA was

289
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: held on a course with Zouja fairways, it was bell

290
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: Reeve in twenty eighteen and Brooks won at Belle Reeve.

291
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 3: That was a deep dive.

292
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad you appreciate that.

293
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: So Xander Schoffley posted top twenty finishes in has posted

294
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: top twenties in four of his last five PGA Championships,

295
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: but hasn't really been in serious competition or serious contention

296
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: late on a Sunday best finish a tenth in twenty

297
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: twenty plus he just getting smoked by Rory like that.

298
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: I do wonder what sort of mental state he's in

299
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: coming into this. It seems like this is a course

300
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: that should suit John Ram's game. Oh yeah, you would

301
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 2: think big hit or great toucher on the greens. And

302
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: I would imagine Ram is going to have a big

303
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 2: chip on his shoulder after the colossal disappointment at the Masters.

304
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, you said it clash of the Titans. What

305
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 2: about Oberg Oh pulled out of the Wells Fargo Championship

306
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: with a knee issue, but not believed to be major.

307
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: He's finished top twenty five and eight straight events top

308
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: fifteen in four string.

309
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 3: I'm probably gonna skip over this week for one reason.

310
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 3: It's his numbers plus eighteen hundred, which for a guy

311
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: who's never won anything at this level. I'm going to

312
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 3: take my time on him. And from what I'm hearing

313
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 3: from people who are watching practice rounds, is he's still

314
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 3: favoring that knee? Can he play through it? Yes? Is

315
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 3: he thinking about it? Also? Yes? So Oberg's knee worries

316
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 3: me because this golf course is not easy to walk.

317
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: It's not easy to maintain composure mentally, let alone physically,

318
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 3: and I just don't have I know that he's going

319
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 3: to win a few of these before he hangs him up,

320
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 3: because he's that good. He's a prodigy. But I think

321
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 3: an injured golfer is always a dangerous thing, but it

322
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 3: can work against you. And I think that I would

323
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 3: bet on an injured Ludwig Olberg if he was twenty

324
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 3: five or thirty to one, But he's not nearly as

325
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 3: good of a fit for this golf course as it

326
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 3: looks on the surface. As I dive deeper and then

327
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 3: I account for whatever level that injury is, it just

328
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: pushes me further and further away from him. At eighteen

329
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 3: to one, it's just too short for him.

330
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: That's fair, i' have to admit.

331
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: Even though Wyndham Clark has a scant track record in majors,

332
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: I'm pretty intrigued by his blend of power off the

333
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 2: tee and touch around the green. I mean, if this

334
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: dude gets hot with the flat stack, I expect him

335
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 2: to contend into the weekend.

336
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 3: He's he's another fade for me because he gets squirrely

337
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 3: off the tee. He does have length, but when he's off,

338
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 3: he's a lot like Jordan Speith, except Jordan Speeth is

339
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 3: the better chipper, Wyndham Clark's the better putter. They both

340
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 3: have their their bugaboos off the tee where accuracy is

341
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 3: king here. Yes, it helps to have distance. He has that,

342
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 3: but if you miss the fairways here you are absolutely

343
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 3: dead and it's gonna it's gonna require more accuracy than distance,

344
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: even though of course it's seventy six hundred yards plus

345
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 3: accuracy wins at Valhalla. That's why Rory won here back

346
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 3: in twenty sixteen. He hit most of the fairways, and

347
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: when he missed the fairways, he was in the first cut.

348
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 3: He wasn't killing himself off the tee. He was able

349
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 3: to attack pins that nobody else could attack. Wyndham Clark

350
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 3: needs to have one of his best, most accurate tea

351
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 3: games that he's ever had to win here, and I

352
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 3: just don't know if he has that right now.

353
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, even going back to Mark Brooks, if I recall

354
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 2: Mark Brooks was not a big hitter at all, kind

355
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 2: of a bunter, but he kept it in the fairway, And.

356
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 3: Yeah said, the crazy off for finding the fairway is

357
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 3: less important than the penalty for missing it. That's what

358
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 3: I'll say.

359
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: Let's look at the mid range options.

360
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 2: We've got Tyrol Hatton, Justin Thomas, Hideki Matsuyama, and Cameron

361
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,479
Speaker 2: Young at fifty to one. Sam Burns and Jason Day

362
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 2: are fifty five to one. Sahiita Gala, Minwu Lee and

363
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: Ben On are sixty to one. Sung JM. Matt Fitzpatrick

364
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: and Sepstraca are sixty five to one. Seewoo Kim Jordan

365
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 2: Speeth and will Zala Taurus are seventy to one, Dustin

366
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 2: Johnson seventy five to one, and Tony Final, Russell Henley

367
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 2: and Corey Connors are eighty to one, like any of

368
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 2: the mid range players.

369
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: So right off the bat, Justin Thomas, this is a

370
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 3: bounce back season for him. Looks pretty good last week.

371
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 3: This is a type of course that requires accuracy. He's

372
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 3: a very accurate player. It requires good approach game. He

373
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 3: has great approach game. It requires good touch around the

374
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 3: greens when you miss the green. He has one of

375
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 3: the best short games in the world. So Justin Thomas,

376
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 3: don't sleep on him. Fifty to one as an insult

377
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 3: number for him. He's a top, top flight caliber player.

378
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be betting the heck out of Justin Thomas

379
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 3: at fifty to one.

380
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: And he's a native of Louisville, thank you, yeah.

381
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 2: And so as it turns out, JT's last win on

382
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: the PGA Tour twenty twenty two PGA Championship at Southern Hills.

383
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: So this would be a nice.

384
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: Way to close up a yawning two year gap between

385
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: victories for JT.

386
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 3: You just think of the vibes each time he tees

387
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 3: off at the first hole all four days, because I

388
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 3: assume he's going to make the cut now on the

389
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 3: tee from Louisville, Kentucky, Justin Thomas. That's going to give

390
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 3: him goosebumps, is going to give him motivation. The crowd

391
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 3: will be one million percent behind him all four days.

392
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 3: I think the vibes are good enough. His form has

393
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 3: been good enough. He's fourth in my model. All the

394
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 3: things checked the box where he should be at thirty

395
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 3: five to forty to one, and getting him at fifty

396
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 3: to one means I'm getting it really aggressive on him.

397
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a fiery cat, so I could imagine getting

398
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 2: a big lift from Matt crowd. I believe Cameron Young

399
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: has finished top ten in five of his last nine majors.

400
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: This dude is just always around.

401
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 2: And you know, like it seems like a pretty good

402
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 2: price on him at fifty to one.

403
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 3: So how many PGA to our wins does he have?

404
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: Good point? Good point?

405
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think you get on the stat sheet with

406
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 3: TD Green game. He's got that in spades. He's the

407
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: American version of Corey Connors, great great ball striker, one

408
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 3: of the best golf swings pure contact guys. Watching a

409
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: shot tracer is a sight to behold. But you have

410
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 3: to get the ball in the hole. You have to

411
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 3: get the ball in the hole at par better and

412
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 3: he's streaky that way. He gets really hot on approach

413
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 3: and he can score with anybody. But when the chips

414
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: are down Saturday Sunday roll around and everybody's making pars

415
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 3: where it's required, Cam Young has folded like a launch

416
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 3: hair every single time. So betting him outright I can't.

417
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 2: Do it good point might be worth saving for a

418
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 2: top ten or a top twenty bats I would. I

419
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 2: would not hate the fifty to one odds on Hideki

420
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 2: Matsuyama with his Teeta Green game, but he withdrew from

421
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 2: the Wells Fargo Championship with a back injury very shortly

422
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: before the tournament began, which I know after lock. Yes,

423
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 2: that irritated a lot of people who complained about it

424
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 2: on Twitter. I know that much.

425
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: So with the back thing, I.

426
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 3: Just Hideki doesn't withdraw very often, but every time he does,

427
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: it's after lock. He's a give it a go type

428
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 3: of guy. I appreciate the perseverance, but come on, man,

429
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 3: at least at least let's give it a go on

430
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 3: Wednesday and figure out how we're feeling before Thursday starts.

431
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 3: We skipped over one of my guys that I'm intrigued

432
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 3: by Cameron Smith. Obviously, his short game, his his approach

433
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 3: game puts him up there with me. Forty to one's

434
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 3: a little short for me. That's why I'm kind of hesitant.

435
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 3: But if we start to see that number tumble towards

436
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 3: fifty where JT is, I'm going to be on Cameron

437
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 3: Smith because putting wins championships and Cameron Smith is the

438
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 3: best putter in the world.

439
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you, really like Cameron Smith.

440
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 2: I just that does seem like it's a little bit

441
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 2: too short in a field this good. Let's talk long shots,

442
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: bo Is there anyone you like with odds of ninety

443
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: to one or longer?

444
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad you asked. There's actually quite a few.

445
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 3: I actually do, like justin Rosa three hundred to one.

446
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 3: That seems crazy to me. And a lot of people

447
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: are talking about Keegan Bradley at one hundred and eighty.

448
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 3: I'm I think Keegan Bradley is just in terrible form

449
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 3: right now.

450
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: He is well top twenty five and two of his

451
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 2: last three, so not like but most of the season

452
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: has been kind of calamitous. I agree with you. But

453
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: big hitter is good with the irons.

454
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: Actually see it good long iron.

455
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: Yeah so, and at one hundred and eighty to one,

456
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 2: I get it, I get it.

457
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit I might throw a little something

458
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 1: down and key.

459
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 3: I think tiger Wood at three hundred to one is

460
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 3: always worth a yolo bet. I mean, who doesn't love

461
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 3: Tiger and Tiger Woods three hundred to one. That's a

462
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 3: fun one for me because he likes Valhalla two. That's right,

463
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 3: and then you can keep going down. Shoot, I got

464
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: some wild ones down here. Just a couple bucks, maybe

465
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 3: even one dollar would do it for me. But JT

466
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 3: posting rates out well here two hundred and fifty to one,

467
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 3: Doug gimm five hundred to one, and Bobby Mack Robert

468
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 3: McIntyre four hundred to one. Interesting, So just just a

469
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 3: good fit for the course, good long iron players that

470
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 3: don't beat themselves.

471
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no one I'm in love with at over

472
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 2: two hundred to one, Like you ball though, I might

473
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: throw a bock on our real He saw Suny at

474
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,479
Speaker 2: four hundred to one. Actually, Batilla is interesting in one

475
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 2: hundred and ten to one, a good short game, No,

476
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 2: why not?

477
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 3: How did he do last week?

478
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: Were you.

479
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 3: He did? He did fine, he was fine, but he

480
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 3: wasn't there. He was thankful there was no cut. That's

481
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: let's just say that another guy who at the with

482
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 3: short iron in hand is the best in the world.

483
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 3: He's the best wedge player on approach that there is. However,

484
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 3: long aron approach kills him. He's not a very accurate

485
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 3: driver of the golf ball, and I think that pays

486
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 3: way too much. His short game's good, his wedge game's great,

487
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 3: His putting not good. His accuracy of the tea not good,

488
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 3: and that was exposed last week and with even more

489
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 3: penalty for those arrant t shots this week. I can't

490
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 3: do it.

491
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 2: What about Taylor Penrith, No chance, I know, just because

492
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 2: he's so erron with the driver.

493
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, and one hundred and thirty to one is completely

494
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 3: because he just won two weeks ago. He'd be a

495
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 3: forty one if he didn't do that much. One hundred

496
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 3: and eighty to one, Patrick Reid, just Matt is so

497
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 3: much better of a play.

498
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, for good for a good player, that is long

499
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 2: price on Patrick Reid, not just the win. I mean

500
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: Pendrith has finished top eleven in four straight granted one

501
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 2: of them was the Zeri Classic.

502
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: The team of that thought.

503
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 3: He's great on easy golf courses.

504
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is not Matt. I get it all right, BO.

505
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 2: So as of now, what are you in your betting card?

506
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 3: We're going Rory again plus seven fifty. I'm gonna do

507
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 3: a top five kicker, just like it did last week

508
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 3: where we won really big Brooks Koepka plus fourteen hundred

509
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 3: or the top five and a top ten kicker. I'm

510
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: playing him aggressively too. Who did I talk about with

511
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 3: the aggression I already forgot, darn it. Cameron Smith. Yeah, JT.

512
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 3: That's the one Cameron Smith. I'm gonna monitor at forty,

513
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 3: but I'll probably hit him at fifty JT at fifty

514
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 3: to one with a big, big, aggressive top ten bet,

515
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 3: and then I'll take sprinkles on all of those long

516
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 3: shots I mentioned, including Patrick Reid Tiger Woods, and I

517
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 3: scream went bat justin Rose all right.

518
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 2: So I'm not going for Scotty. I think we didn't

519
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 2: really talk about whether we're bat. We're live betting Scotty, right,

520
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 2: that's the way to play it now.

521
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's short so good.

522
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 3: He's that good where if he did, he does start slowly,

523
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 3: like a couple of weeks ago where we bet him

524
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 3: live after he made a double bogie on the fourth

525
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 3: hole of Thursday's round and he slipped a plus eleven hundred.

526
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 3: That was as as quickly as I've run to hit

527
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: a button in my life. But if that happens here,

528
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 3: it's less likely that he can pull that off, but

529
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,959
Speaker 3: you still want to do it. If if it slips

530
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: past ten to one, you have bet Scotty because he

531
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 3: can come back from eight ten strokes and eighteen holes.

532
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 3: It's he's that good. He's that streaky, and he gives

533
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 3: himself so many scoring opportunities. That's the same thing with

534
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 3: Rory last week is it's not that he converts all

535
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: of his opportunities, but he's always there, always putting for

536
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 3: Bertie and some of them go in. And that's that's

537
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 3: the name of the game, is easy par tap ins

538
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 3: and and just move on and if Bertie goes in,

539
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 3: then we're then we're drinking good.

540
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had not really talked about whether we were

541
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: going to bet on Scotty, but I think at this

542
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 2: point that's sort of our approach where we are live

543
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: betting Scotty.

544
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: It's just it's so tough when you're.

545
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: Only getting him at you know, somewhere from plus three

546
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 2: point fifty to plus five hundred in these events.

547
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: You know, so.

548
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 3: Chances are if he's if he's gonna win, then I

549
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 3: want to get him at better odds anyway, because it's

550
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 3: not it's not really worth the investment. You're putting a

551
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 3: lot of money down to for one guy out of

552
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty five to win. And I know

553
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 3: it's that one guy is the best player in the world,

554
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 3: but it is major and we have all these guys

555
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 3: at our disposal.

556
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: So bo, I'm I'm just not feeling it with Rory,

557
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: and like, I know this everything sets up so well

558
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: for him. I'm just not digging him at the short price.

559
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 2: I am digging Brooks. I'm all over him. I've got

560
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: him at plus fourteen hundred. I've got John Rahm at

561
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: plus sixteen hundred. I think Ram is going to be

562
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: very focused this week. I've got a top five on

563
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 2: Colin Moore Kawa at plus six hundred.

564
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: You know, t.

565
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 4: De Green.

566
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: I think his game is going to play at Valhalla.

567
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: Wyndham Clark, I've got a forty to one will Zalatoris.

568
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 2: We haven't really talked about him.

569
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: Bo.

570
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 2: The guy's played in two PGA Tour event or PGA

571
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 2: Championships and has finished top ten in both, including his

572
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 2: playoff loss to Justin Thomas in twenty twenty two at

573
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: Southern Hills. So yeah, and seventy to one on Zaladauris

574
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 2: just seems like a great price. You've talked me Batia.

575
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna bet him, but I am going to

576
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: throw a little something down on Keegan Bradley and I'm

577
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: gonna throw a bock on Rio.

578
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: So let's go. As far as Alataurus is concerned, the

579
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 3: back injury is still there for me too. He's a

580
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 3: lot like Hideki, except I think that if he wasn't

581
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 3: ready to go, he would withdraw on Tuesday or Wednesday

582
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 3: for us. But yeah, the Xalaturs thing, from what I'm hearing,

583
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 3: is that he's going to start slipping farther down the board.

584
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 3: So if you feel good or that he's going to

585
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 3: finish four rounds, then it's a great bet because he's gonna,

586
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 3: You're gonna the number is gonna get better and better.

587
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: But a lot of people are concerned about the.

588
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,320

Speaker 1: Now for our one and done picks.

607
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,479
Speaker 2: Last week at the Wells Fargo, bow I struck a

608
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: big blow by taking mister Rory McElroy his win in

609
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: that elevated events.

610
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: With good you're a wealthy point six million.

611
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 3: That's a two fold you very much, pol dear welcome.

612
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 2: Oh yes, so the three point six million lifted me

613
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: to the lead and for the first time all year,

614
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 2: and bow like, I was kicking myself so hard for

615
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: not taking Scotti Scheffler at the Players Championship. These elevated events,

616
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 2: like if you are in a big one and done pool,

617
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 2: you you've got to hit the elevated events. You just

618
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: have to if you're gonna win your one and dune pool,

619
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: if you're going against more than a handful of other players.

620
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 2: So let's see, Bo, you and Justin Thomas who finished

621
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 2: tied for twenty first. That was good for two hundred

622
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 2: and twenty one thousand, six hundred and sixty seven dollars.

623
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 2: So the new tally has made about six point six

624
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 2: million and you at about five point one million. But Bo,

625
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 2: we've got ourselves a major this week, so that means

626
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 2: a big old purse.

627
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 3: Don't get used to chance don't get used to the

628
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 3: top here.

629
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: Well, this is your chance to strike back.

630
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 2: But I am up first this week, and I'm gonna

631
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 2: try to land another Haymaker.

632
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Brooks Kopka.

633
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 3: Good pick.

634
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: Who's it going to be for you both?

635
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 3: So last week I should have taken Rory McElroy. I

636
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 3: talked you into taking Rory mcleroe and you probably thought

637
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 3: I was going to take Rory McElroy and you had

638
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 3: Xander Schoffley in your holster. I believe if I was

639
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 3: to take Rory, and for for some no reason, I

640
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 3: can't remember why I didn't take Rory last week, but

641
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 3: I didn't, and Galaxy brained myself into giving up this lead.

642
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 3: This week, I'm going to take the ultimate ace out

643
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: of the hole and play Scotti Scheffler.

644
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: Nice there, it is the big Wow. This is uh

645
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: Clash of the Titans. That's Scotty.

646
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 3: That should be the name on this thumbnail. And when

647
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 3: we publish it is Clash of the Titans. The big

648
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 3: boys are going to eat.

649
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 2: Only fitting at Valhalla. I mean that's a place where

650
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 2: the gods go to relax.

651
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 3: That's the Viking heaven.

652
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 2: And that's going to do it for this week's show.
