13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: a little lah RBC heritage from this past weekend. Stuart

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: sinc is forty seven years old. He's now won twice

15
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour this season. What's stat did you

16
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: have six months ago that would have told us this

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: was coming?

18
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: Nothing? I mean, if you if you had Stuart sink

19
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: as second multi winner on the board in twenty twenty

20
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, you're a damn liar. You did not.

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: No one had that. I mean, there's no chance. It's

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: been a really it's a really fun story. I mean,

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: a guy who hadn't won like I love that he

24
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: would have. I was thinking yesterday looking this up, and

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, man, Stuart Sink probably won in four

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: different decades, the nineties, two thousands.

27
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: We didn't win in the tens, yeah, did.

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: He went from nine to twenty twenty without a win,

29
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: so he didn't qualify for He won of the nineties,

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: the two thousands obviously, and now in the twenty twenties.

31
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: But he would had that such an enormous gap between

32
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: the Open Championship and Safeway. I didn't see that coming.

33
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: I think one of the more interesting things with Stuart

34
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: Sink I was diving into his numbers. His distance gains

35
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: are really impressive in his late for I don't know

36
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: what he dialed into track man wise, equipment wise, whatever

37
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: it was, but he's been the top four on tour

38
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: and driving distance, which is super impressive for a guy

39
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: on the other side of forty five. So just such

40
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: an impressive performance. And you know, the RBC heritage lended

41
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: itself to some unique blowout wins over the years, whether

42
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: it was Brian Gay years ago, Hayl Irwin got to

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: win when he was forty eight, right before you joined

44
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: the senior tour back in the day. So it's a

45
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: course that kind of yields some odd one off type

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: things to happen. But what a performance. Just a really

47
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: really cool week for him, and obviously with some of

48
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: the bag another layer to that kind of family joy

49
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 2: you saw.

50
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is one where even though stuarts think is

51
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: hitting it further than he has in years or really ever,

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: it is one where you really don't need to hit

53
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: it far. You need to be a ball striker. And

54
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: I bring up something that Peter Jennings, my former pod

55
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: partner here on the Action Network pod, used to say

56
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: He's like and Peter would love betting the ball strikers

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: every single week because the biggest issue with betting on

58
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: ball strikers is that at some point you have to

59
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: watch them putt. And from Colin Moricow to a Milliano

60
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: Grillow to Harold Varner to Corey Connors, I mean watching

61
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: those guys putt on Sunday it made Stuart sinks putting

62
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: stroke look good and that honestly, and I said it

63
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: on Twitter, I said that stroke's giving me anxiety, Like seriously,

64
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't watch it, like he's like going back and

65
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: forth like twitching before he putted it.

66
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: I'm like, yee, it was like a guy with a

67
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: hitch in his free throw. Like it was like a

68
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 2: like a it was it's tough to even articulate to describe.

69
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: And it was really only on the short puts, right

70
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: like I didn't seem to see it on the longer ones.

71
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: But he had that odd motion where he kind of

72
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: start stop, start stop, start stop and then knock it.

73
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: And I mean whatever he putted great for I mean,

74
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: he didn't put awesome on the weekend, but he didn't

75
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: need to because he get such a big lead as

76
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: so good. But yeah, no, I'm with you too. It

77
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: gave me anxiety watching and it was tough to imagine,

78
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: Like this guy's up six, he looks like he's about

79
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: to drop his putter tap it into a two footer.

80
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: It was wild.

81
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: But he was doing that on the five footers and

82
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: he didn't miss any of them, not that I can remember.

83
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he was pretty solid from that range. And

84
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: it's just boy, I just more power to him. I

85
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: couldn't watch it myself, but great see Stewart Syk he

86
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: mentioned his son being on the bag. I happened to

87
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: be in the flash area, the interview area Augusta National

88
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon when players were coming in and I

89
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: get Stuart Singh played really well, he was tied for

90
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: twelfth place, and there was a fellow media member there

91
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: who was, look, I don't know. I don't like to

92
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: say that maybe the guy was working on a deep

93
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: dive on Stuart Sink and was going to write all

94
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: about him or talk all about him on a show somewhere,

95
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: but he had him for about twelve to fifteen minutes,

96
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: breaking down his swing, breaking down his week, and then

97
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: talking about Reagan, his son who was caddying for him.

98
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: And I was kind of standing nearby. I wasn't really

99
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: part of it, but I was close enough that I

100
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: listened to the whole thing because I didn't really have

101
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 1: anything else going on at the time, and I'm listening

102
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: to Stuart Sank. And then, of course a few days later,

103
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, Wow, great job by that guy getting all

104
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: this stuff from Stuart Sink, because it was really interesting

105
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: in the days beforehand to hear him speaking about Reagan saying, look,

106
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: he is not just an honorary caddy. My son going

107
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: out there helping me out a good father son's story.

108
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: He goes, look, he's really good at it. If I

109
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: fired him tomorrow, he would go find another bag instantly,

110
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: he said. I listened to him on the golf course,

111
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: and if you watched on Sunday afternoon especially, there were

112
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: times when Reagan said, hey, the win's doing this. I

113
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: really like this club, and his dad Stuart would say, okay,

114
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: I trust you on this one, and he would listen.

115
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't just hey, I got my kid

116
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: out here. He needed a job for the summer, and

117
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: so he's just carrying my background. This is like, no,

118
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: they're actually they have a great working relationship and that's

119
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: really fun to see. My dad is, to put it nicely,

120
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: I got I put him down for a forty three

121
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: handicap when I tweeted out it might be in the fifties.

122
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: But if and when my dad makes it out on

123
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour, probably I guess that's that might have

124
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: gone back. Maybe it's PGA Tour champions now that he's

125
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: gunning for. If in what it does happen, I'd be

126
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: happy to caddy for him.

127
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: My dad won a Texas state championship in high school.

128
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: He played for the University of Oklahoma.

129
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 3: He's a player, He's better than I could ever dream

130
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: of being, So I don't think I have the stones

131
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: to try to caddy for him like Reagan does for

132
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 3: an Open champion.

133
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: So another thing I thought was really cool, Stuart's sick

134
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: now went seventeen years between seasons with multiple victories. It's

135
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: so crazy to think that you could go two thousand

136
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: and four to twenty twenty one and have not had

137
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 2: a multiple win season in that span. I went back

138
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: all the way to nineteen ninety and then I kind

139
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: of had the data cut off there, and nobody else

140
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: was even close to having a multi win season gap.

141
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: Steve Striker went thirteen years hol Sutton with twelve years

142
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: between multi win seasons, But seventeen years is kind of

143
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: a crazy enormous jump there between having a couple of

144
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: seasons with more than one win. The other thing too,

145
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: back in the top fifty in the world for the

146
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 2: first time since twenty eleven, Like if you had that,

147
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 2: if you had before the year, let's say two years ago,

148
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: I'll tell you Stuart's sink will be in the top

149
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: fifty in the world. Ricky Fowler will not I mean

150
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: really unpredictable sport man. Our two multi winners on tour

151
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: this year, twenty seven year old Rice Into Shambeau and

152
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: forty seven year old Stewart's sink.

153
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: It's great, believable, unbelievable. Yeah, I'll throw one out more

154
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: out and I guess it probably happens more than I'm thinking.

155
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: But between first and most recent victory twenty four years

156
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: for Stuart's sink, is that is that fairly common? I mean,

157
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: at least somewhat common.

158
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: It was the seventh most all time. I don't have

159
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: the list right in front of me, but the list

160
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: was I think Sam sneeded of course. Yeah, Davis love

161
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: Tom Watson. We're always tying Stuart's sink and Tom Watson,

162
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: mister Watson J.

163
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: Maybe Kenny Perry, Ray.

164
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: Floyd's on that list. I don't know if VJ was

165
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 2: VJ didn't get his first.

166
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: P Yeah, he didn't win until. Kenny Perry has a

167
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: lot of those like sort of mid to late forties

168
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: kind of records that he was going after he started

169
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: playing really good golf right about this age, right, Phil Phil's.

170
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: The other one.

171
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: Of course Phil.

172
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: Michelson's on that list. Yeah, Floyd Snead Davis love, Phil Watson,

173
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: Jack Nicholas and now Stewart Sinc.

174
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: Wow, that's crazy.

175
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: One animal speaks to the longevity and him being able

176
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: to stay out on tour for that one.

177
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, one more Stuart Sinc. Cool little item. I went

178
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: back and found a Q and A I had done

179
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: with him in April of two thousand and nine, so

180
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: like almost twelve years to the day. I was with

181
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: the ESPN at the time. He came back a year

182
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: after winning the Travelers Championship and was there for media

183
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: day and the entire Q and A I remember doing it.

184
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't remember why. I only based it around this,

185
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: but it was like he was at the beginning of

186
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: this Twitter phenomenon, and I wrote the intro like he's

187
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: got one hundred and eleven thousand Twitter followers, this is crazy,

188
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: He's talking about all this stuff. One of the cool

189
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: things he had talked about was he left his iPod

190
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: out in the rain, iPod not iPad, iPod out in

191
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: the rain, and that was that.

192
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: Was a small device that you could store music files

193
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 2: on and that was it just all all you could

194
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: put just music, you know, all you can get on there.

195
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: I saw on my radio show today Collins and I

196
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: were talking about and I said, I used to have

197
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: a three hundred disc CD changer, and when the iPod

198
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: came about, it was like you.

199
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: Were a big deal.

200
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: Three I could put like all of this, I mean,

201
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: and that thing lasted about a month until surprisingly all

202
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: the disc like crashed into each other and it didn't

203
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: shuffle anymore. It didn't work.

204
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: So I had in my my truck in college, I

205
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: had a CD player that would play data CDs, so

206
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: you could put like six albums on one CD. And

207
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: that was like like mind blowing that you can do.

208
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, that was helpful for the long, long ass

209
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: commute from Houston to Columbia, Missouri. That was helpful.

210
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: When you said data CDs, I was envisioning, like you

211
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: just reading off golf stats on these CDs and listening

212
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: to them over and over.

213
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very popular with the ladies back in the day.

214
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: It was very very aptive the observation by you. But yeah, no,

215
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 2: like the actual little iPod was the total game changer.

216
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: Especially it was small enough you could like strap it

217
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: on your arm when you go to the gym. That was. Yeah.

218
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: So Stuart Sink had left his in the rain, and

219
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: a big part of the Q and A that we

220
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: had done was him telling me about how a Twitter

221
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: user and said, hey, try putting it in a bag

222
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: of rice. And he did, and he left it for

223
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: a few days and he came back and it worked,

224
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: and like it was like whoa, like mind blowing, and

225
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: people out there were like, you put your iPod in

226
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: a bag of rice and now it works?

227
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: Holy cow?

228
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: What Like this new technology stuff is nutty?

229
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: Wow?

230
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: Is this crazy?

231
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: And now that's like smartphone cannon, you know, drop it

232
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 2: in the you know, Sink or I don't know whatever.

233
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: It was, wol, Like that's your one last saving grace.

234
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: Of course, I mean everyone knows it now. I feel

235
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: like he was on the first frontier of like, hey guys.

236
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: I think I remember too. He had a picture on

237
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: Twitter of him putting the claret jug in the case

238
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: like into the overhead compartment plane coming home. Yeah, that's

239
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: the one thing that's the image that sticks out to

240
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: me in that super early days of Twitter. But yeah,

241
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 2: it was kind of it felt kind of random that

242
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: it was Stuart Sink was the guy that you know,

243
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: and even now, like after I saw your tweet, I

244
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: went back to the very the very beginning of the

245
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: follows on Twitter that I had from my account from

246
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: it's ten years old. And it's like Tiger Woods ESPN Golf,

247
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 2: which we were part of at that time, and Stuart

248
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: Sink because he was the popular I mean, he was

249
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: making the most use of the medium. You know, it's

250
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: so fat. It was just a fun place where like

251
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: Shack would tweet something.

252
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: And in that of you. By the way, I remember

253
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: my first ever tweet. It was right around then. It

254
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: was two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, and

255
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: it was literally I wrote, I probably won't use this much,

256
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: but I'll just post some articles here if you want

257
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: to read some links. And yes, I've gotten I still

258
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: post links every once in a while, so I guess

259
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: that's I've stayed on brand with that. It was very

260
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: funny in that interview Stuart said, you know, people always want, like,

261
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, the bigger names to get on there too,

262
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson and Anthony Kim. I

263
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, like in some respects, twelve

264
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: years doesn't feel like that long ago. And In other ways,

265
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: it feels like a thousand years ago.

266
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: In other ways it's a lifetime.

267
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's wid so yeah. Anyway, a lot of fun,

268
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: a lot of fun ways to look at Stuart's Sink's win,

269
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: and we had time to do it on Sunday because

270
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: we pretty much knew from if not the first hole,

271
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: at least a second or third hole, that it was

272
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: gonna be his Saturday afternoon.

273
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,599
Speaker 2: It was not over then. I mean, that was a

274
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: march to the finish where party. It's that you're as

275
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: a golf and you're kind of teetering on. Okay, I

276
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: don't want to see this guy fall to pieces, but

277
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 2: at the same time, I'd love for this to be exciting.

278
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: So maybe you're rooting for somebody to go crazy low,

279
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: whether it was Rioh or more Call on Sunday or

280
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: something to give a little more intrigue. But Stuart Stink

281
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: wasn't having any of that. He made what was one

282
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 2: bogie over the last fifty some odd holes, two bogies

283
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: or the last sixty hole something like that. So just

284
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 2: an awesome performance.

285
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was pretty great. And as we start looking

286
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: ahead to this week, the Zurich Classic of New Orleans

287
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: and we're back to the two man team event. Did

288
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: not have an event last year, but Cameron Smith and

289
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: Jonas blixed one in twenty seventeen. The next year was

290
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: Billy Horsechell, Scott Pearcy and the defending jamps from two

291
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: years ago, John Rahm and Ryan Palmer. What do you

292
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: think of that event? I love the outside the box thinking,

293
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: but just in general, do you like having a two

294
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: man event on PGA Tour.

295
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 2: I think it's a great change of pace. And you know,

296
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 2: I've got to go be on site covering this event

297
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: for years, and it felt like for like six straight

298
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: years there would be like a thunderstorm every day at

299
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: this golf tournament, and it just the vibe was just

300
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: wrecked here in and y're out because you get there

301
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: Wednesday Thursday, it's New Orleans. It's hopping. The food is

302
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 2: unbelievable that they're bringing you in the media center every day,

303
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: like the fans are into it. It was a good

304
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: vibe and the weather just dealt in the worst cards.

305
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: So I felt like the change of format came at

306
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: a perfect time where they needed a kind of a

307
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: reset for the event and to have this kind of

308
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 2: different thing to change it up. It's fun. I think

309
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: it's a fun change of pace. It's a great fit

310
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 2: here between the Masters and the PGA Championship, kind of

311
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: a little bit of a slow period building up to

312
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: the second major of the year. I like it. I

313
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: wonder what you think.

314
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I completely agree with you. I've got some questions

315
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: about it when we get to our five questions in

316
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: a few minutes here. But yeah, I think it's a

317
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: great change of pace. It's in the right place on

318
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: the schedule where hey, it's not so important like at

319
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: the end of the season where guys are trying to

320
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: accumulate points for the FedEx Cup. But it's not too

321
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: early where it's like, hey, we're just getting started. It's

322
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: in between a few majors. It's like in the right

323
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: spit spot. It's, you know, a nice little change of pace.

324
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: Like you said, looking at the bet MGM odds for

325
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: this week, I kind of like these. I think these

326
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: are a little more right than some other ones. And

327
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: granted they might be changing as we speak. We're recording

328
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: this on Monday evening, but.

329
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: Jason, we influenced the line let's.

330
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: Oh you think, well, okay, they're gonna change.

331
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,119
Speaker 2: This podcast is clearly altering the marking well.

332
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: In some other places. I didn't even know there were

333
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: other books out there besides bet MGM, but some other

334
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: places had John Ram and Ryan Palmer as the sole

335
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: favorite the defending champions. I think bett MGM probably has

336
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: it right with Xanderschoffley and Patrick Cantley as co favorites.

337
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: Alongside them, They're followed by Cameron Smith and Mark Leishman,

338
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: Bubba Watson, Scottie Scheffler, Colin Morikawa, Matthew Wolfe, Tony fenw

339
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: Cameron Champ and then and Todd Chris Kirk and Billy Horsechell,

340
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: Sam Burns, though Danny Willett and Tyrol Hatton in there

341
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: as well, there right next to them. So some good teams.

342
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: There are some definitive haves and have nots this week,

343
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: and I would like to make the case, and I

344
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: wrote about this in in my betting guide this week

345
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: on the Action Network that justin if all right, So

346
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna liken this to ten handicaps and scratch players,

347
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: and you know not to not to insinuate that any

348
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: of these guys are ten handicaps. It's not what I'm

349
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: getting at But if you're a ten handicap you're playing

350
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: against a scratch golfer, can you beat them straight up? Yeah?

351
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's gonna be tough, But they have their

352
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: worst day, you have your best day. Yeah, you can

353
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: absolutely beat them on a given day where things are

354
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: going right for you. Now you take yourself as a partner,

355
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: and you, as a ten handicap, have another ten handicap

356
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: as your partner. You're playing against a scratch golfer who

357
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: has another scratch golfer as his partner. Can the two

358
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: of you beat the two of them? I look at

359
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: it just like a Strokes Gien stat which the more

360
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: data you get, the more variables, like, the harder it's

361
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: going to become. And so when I look at this event,

362
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: I look at this field, I say, okay, well, when

363
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: you put one good player against another pretty good player, well,

364
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: the pretty good player can certainly beat them. When you

365
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: put two really good players against two pretty good players,

366
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: I think there's more disparity between them. Am I on

367
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: the right track? Statistically?

368
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 2: I would say so. I think if you're talking about

369
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 2: the best ball situation where you take the better score

370
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: between the two players, you're essentially cutting the randomness in half. Right,

371
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: So if Xander and Patrick Cantlay are facing player X

372
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 2: and player Y of Lessert, you look, Xander and Xander

373
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 2: might have a six on a given hole, but the

374
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: odds that Xander and can't Lay are both in a

375
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: double bogie are incredibly slimmed. So I think you're going

376
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 2: down the right path where the more the more you

377
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: input into the situation, like multiple players on a team,

378
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 2: the more likely you're going to get the outcome that

379
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: you expect. So yes, I think you're eliminating some randomness

380
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: there now with alternate shot. I think there's a possibility

381
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 2: there to where if you've got a big time disparity

382
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: between player A and player B on a team, whereas

383
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: like one of the teams that's really interesting to me,

384
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 2: the last ranked in scrabble points but very high in

385
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: ball striking Sung JM and Ben Young gon On look

386
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 2: been On is dead last on the PGA Tour and

387
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: strokes skate putting. Sun JM is a top forty putter

388
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: on the PGA Tour. If we're going to alternate shot

389
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: and ben On's got to hit some putts, I mean

390
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 2: you're looking at probably a stroke around and that's just

391
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: being that's being nice about it, sure, you know, because

392
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: it's just been on tend of a tough year putting

393
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: and he you know, this sounded game anyway, and so

394
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: JM is having a really good year with the putter.

395
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: So there's just there's a disparity there to where on

396
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 2: your own team, if you're going alternate shot, you can

397
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 2: kind of throw that into the mix too. So it's

398
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: fascinating from a betting perspective for me because there's just

399
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: so many different ways you can piece together value on

400
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 2: the board. You know, we've seen the kind of a

401
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: really interesting collection of players at the top. I'll read

402
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: for you right now, the top of the leader board

403
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: from the twenty nineteen Zurich Classic. It's a tremendous collection.

404
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: Okay, that's gonna be great.

405
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: John Rahm and Ryan Palmer. Okay, top five player in

406
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 2: the world and a veteran who crushes the golf ball

407
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: and Ryan Palmer, we understand that that makes sense. Sergio

408
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: Garcia and Tommy Fleetwood. Sure, last players Ryder Cup stalwarts

409
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 2: at this point, you know that you can see that.

410
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 2: Brian Gay and Rory Sabatini. Sure, why not and tied

411
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: with them for third play was Matt Every and kh Lee.

412
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: Matt Every is one of the ten greatest players in

413
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: the history of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, not so much

414
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: regularly weekend week out of the PGA Tour. I mean,

415
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 2: there's so much possibility with some of these names of

416
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 2: what could come from this kind of unique format, And

417
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 2: I thought, just reading those names at the top of

418
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: the board the last time they played here is a

419
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: great way to encapsulate it.

420
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: That alone, Jay Ready makes me rethink something that I

421
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: wrote this week already, which is team chemistry should be

422
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: a big part of this. Louis Ustays and Tarls Schwartzeill

423
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: have probably played more golf together than any other partners

424
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: in this field. They should feel comfortable around each other.

425
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: Kevin Kidder and Scott Brown good buddies, play a lot

426
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: of golf together. Brendan Steele and Keegan Bradley good friends,

427
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: play a lot of practice rounds together. Von Taylor and

428
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: Rasmus Hoyguard. I don't believe in like hung out all that.

429
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

430
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: Maybe there's something there. I don't know. Scott Pearcy and

431
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: Call of Duty.

432
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: Bros Man, Maybe they get it in on the Xbox Live.

433
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: Who knows, you know, Maybe.

434
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll be best friends by the end of the weekend.

435
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: Maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe it's like, I don't know,

436
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: I showed up, I got paired with this guy who

437
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: went out and played. He's good, I'm good. We figured

438
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: it out.

439
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 2: We didn't.

440
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: We weren't having fun out there because we didn't even

441
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: know each other. So we just know expectations. We're not

442
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: telling jokes, we're not telling stories.

443
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: Or maybe it's not thinking about where we're going in

444
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: New Orleans after the Alley, or.

445
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: Maybe it's hey, we are telling stories and we're listening

446
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: to each other, because it's not like, oh, yeah, I've

447
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: heard that story a million times, Tell me a new story, Like,

448
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, we're not sick of each other already, right,

449
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, Matt every kh Lee seems

450
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: like it would be on that wavelength of I can't

451
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: Maybe they had great team chemistry. Maybe they're best friends.

452
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: I am not sure. I don't know. I'm just gonna

453
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: say maybe not.

454
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: It's it's definitely a mixed bag, and it just makes

455
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 2: for a really interesting look at the board going into

456
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 2: this week. For sure.

457
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,800

Speaker 4: Now back to the show.

488
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: So let's look at that board. I mentioned a lot

489
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: of those names. Taking the guys at the top. It's

490
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: really hard to not sit here. And let's say, well,

491
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: I like John Rahm and Ryan Balmer as the co favorites,

492
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: and I also like Xander Schoffley and Patrick Cantley as

493
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: the co favorites. Uh yes, okay, they're co favorites for

494
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: a reason. I was hoping there would be a bigger price,

495
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: bigger number next to Bubba Watson and Scottie Scheffler. I

496
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of offensive firepower there. I think

497
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: Bubba plays really well as a teammate. Bubba's things, he

498
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: doesn't like letting people down. And I think when Bubba's

499
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: got a guy next to him. I'm not sure if

500
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: Bubba and Scotty are great friends or whatever, but I

501
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: can see Bubba playing really well for somebody else. He's

502
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: nine to eight and one in partnered matches in the

503
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: Writer and President's Cup, So I think that, you know,

504
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: that's a you know, not overwhelmingly great record, but it

505
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: is a winning record, just barely. And Scotti Scheffler, we

506
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: all know what kind of talent he is. Twenty first

507
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: in the world, so that's sort of out of that

508
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: top tier. That's the way i'd start my card. I

509
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: don't mind Billy Horschell and Sam Burns as well, both

510
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: of them playing really well, excellent. Sam Burns a Louisiana

511
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: guy going back to his home state. What do you

512
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: think about the top of this board? Right here?

513
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 2: The Shaffley Cantley team is really interesting to me just

514
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: because of how poor Cantley's played. By his standards of

515
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: the last month or two, he's missed three straight cuts

516
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: and stroke play events, just really not himself recently. But look,

517
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 2: you've got got two guys in the top ten and

518
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: strokes gain total on the PGA Tour this season. Shaffley,

519
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 2: he's making his first start since the close call of

520
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 2: the Masters. They're a really interesting group because I want

521
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: to know which Patrick Cantley shows up this week. Is

522
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 2: it the guy we've gotten accustomed to see him it

523
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 2: was just the model of consistency in terms of, you know,

524
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: excellent performance through the bag and the high finishes over

525
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: the last few years. Or is it the guy who

526
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 2: couldn't make the cut at Harbortown last week. I don't know,

527
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 2: So he's kind of interesting. The Camera Smith Mark Leishman duo,

528
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 2: the Aussie duo, is really interesting as well. Cameron Smith

529
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: playing great. He of course won this event with Jonas

530
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 2: Blix in twenty seventeen, then they missed the cut the

531
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: next two years and so now Cam Smith's got a

532
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 2: new teammate in Leishman. First time Leishman has played here

533
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 2: since it was stroke play, he was t twenty and

534
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen the last time it was stroke play. Cameron

535
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: Smith top twenty in each of his last five stroke

536
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: play tournaments. So I think they're an interesting pairing. And

537
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: that's a group. I mean, you could totally see that

538
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 2: duo at a President's Cup. I mean that makes absolute

539
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 2: sense coming down the road. Now, great call on the

540
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 2: Watson and Scheffler. I mean, that's gonna be two awesome

541
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 2: drivers of the golf ball obviously. I mean we all

542
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 2: know Bubba, but Scotty Scheffler top twenty on the PGA

543
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: Tour starts getting off the tee. So they're very interesting

544
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 2: as well. And you know which Matthew Wolf are we

545
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 2: gonna get? Man, I don't know, it's tough to read

546
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 2: that guy at this point, and I know how young

547
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: he is, and I don't want to sound critical of him,

548
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 2: but just has had some you know, he had some

549
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 2: blister issues earlier in the year, and he's kind of

550
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: struggled here the last few weeks. He had the DQ

551
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: at the Masters. So maybe being group with Colin mor

552
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: Kyla guy who you know striped the ball at RBC

553
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: but just Chip didn't Chip putt very well Sunday group

554
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: with Stewart Sink, maybe that would get him back on

555
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 2: the right track. But some interesting names there at the

556
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 2: top I kind of leaned. I kind of like your

557
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: Bubba Watson Scottie Scheffler. Call.

558
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wolf and marcau are a couple of guys who

559
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 1: played and grew up in southern California, know each other

560
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: really well, about the same age. Wolf is a little

561
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: bit younger, but I am fading then. It's just not

562
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: it just doesn't feel right more. Cow on his third

563
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: straight week and after a semi title contention playing in

564
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: the final pairing on Sunday this past week, I just

565
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, he's probably running on empty just

566
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: a little bit, even though you know at that age,

567
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: I guess he never really run too much on empty.

568
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: Matthew Wolf, Uh yeah, just a major question mark right now.

569
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: So until I see something a little bit better from him,

570
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: I am not going after them. Let's get to this

571
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: mid tier, and I think there's a lot of a

572
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: lot of options you can go in the mid tier.

573
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how deep I'm going in this field

574
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: this week. I don't know that I'm going all the

575
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: way down to, like, you know, picking out guys from

576
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: the bottom of the barrel here. But this mid tier,

577
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: I mentioned Keegan Bradley and Brendan Steel they're thirty three

578
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: to one. Really like them this week Brendan Steel and

579
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: Steel and Steel. I just want to be able to

580
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: hit them all higher, a little bit farther Steel with

581
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: a rip off the twelfth.

582
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: Wow, it's just getting the way ahead of Steel. How

583
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 2: good was that? Wow?

584
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: Another one at thirty three to one, Jason Kokrak and

585
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: Pat Perez. That would be a really fun team to

586
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: watch if you're there on site. I like those guys

587
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: as well. And Joel Damon and Loanto Griffin, who I

588
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: don't know. I read some something off the website. Looked

589
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: like it was gonna be Joel Damon and Ryan Brahm

590
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: originally and Griffin in there now. I think that's a

591
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: really good partnership there as well. Those guys at fifty

592
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: to one, who in this mid tier strikes you as

593
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: players who can contend.

594
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 2: This week, there's an English duo and when I look

595
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 2: at their numbers, they really mesh really well. That's Danny

596
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 2: Willett and Tyrol Hatten. With Hatton, you've got one of

597
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: the best players in the world. Obviously Top twenty this season,

598
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: Strokes gained off the t top ten. Strokes gained approach

599
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 2: Danny Willett's sneaky one of the best putters on the

600
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 2: PGA Tour this season. Leads the PGA Tour in average

601
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 2: distance of puts made per round. Had a top twenty

602
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: finish at Harbortown to his second top twenty his last

603
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: four starts, so finding a little bit of form. I

604
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 2: think their styles and their strengths compliment each other well.

605
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: I think that could be a good mix this week.

606
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: They've never played together in a team europe event. I

607
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: was running through thinking maybe they're We're on a Eurasia

608
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 2: Cup team or something like that. Couldn't find an instance

609
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: of that happening. But I think their skill set kind

610
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: of meld well a little bit further down the board.

611
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: I think this is a really interesting team. Doug Gim

612
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 2: has been kind of a sweetheart of Action Network over

613
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: the last several months, but he's playing with a kid,

614
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: Justin s who has a gigantic opportunity this week. Really

615
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: talented player out a usc played really well at a

616
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 2: number of local IQ events over the last year and

617
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: a half, top ten at the Shriners last fall. Gim

618
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 2: really sneakily has a really great statistical profile. He's thirty

619
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: ninth on tour, and Strokes gained total thirteenth and Strokes

620
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 2: gained approach. Gim has strong approach play numbers regardless of

621
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: distance and regardless of range of this season, so I

622
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: kind of like him regardless of where puts him with

623
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 2: t shots, and so I had some really strong cutting

624
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 2: performances a limited PGA Tour play so far.

625
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: So they're really interesting.

626
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: I think the fifty to one, I don't know if

627
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: I'd picked them to win, but probably some value there

628
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: in terms of top ten, top twenty. Yeah.

629
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: And like I said, I'm not going too deep, but

630
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: maybe about as deep as I'll go. Uh, They're interesting

631
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: at least for some props. Maybe not for outright, but

632
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: Richie Warenski and Peter Yu aligned. Warensky had started the

633
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: season really well. It's had three straight miss cuts, but

634
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: I believe three or four of his first seven starts

635
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: were top twenty five's. And Peter you Line coming off

636
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: with victory ont of the Corn Ferry Tour last week

637
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. I've been waiting ten years for Peter

638
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: u a Line to be a top fifty player in

639
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: the world. I think I've put I do my annual

640
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: column on the leap, players are going to who are

641
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: gonna make a step to the next echelon. And I

642
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: think I've put Peter u a line on like five

643
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: of the last ten of.

644
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: Them waiting to make lea your diving board for a decade.

645
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: At some point, at some point, he's gonna make this leap.

646
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: Maybe he's ready to do it now.

647
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: I like that the other team that I looked at

648
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 2: the board and I was like, I scan and scan

649
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: at the top and didn't see him. And I'm like,

650
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: if you get in no respect here, sixty six to one.

651
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 2: Kevin Kisner and Scott Brown. They finished second, fifth, and

652
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 2: fifteenth in three years in this team in this event.

653
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 2: We all know how much Kisner loves match play, second

654
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 2: and first, this is kind of the cousin of match play.

655
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: In terms of the team format. Kisner and Brown ranked

656
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 2: tied for fifth in alternate shots scoring the last time

657
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 2: this was held. We'll talk about how important that is,

658
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 2: and that's the more important scoring place to succeed in

659
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 2: where the separation kind of comes in fourth and alternate

660
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: shots scoring. In twenty seventeen when they lost in the playoff,

661
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: you know, I think it was Kisner group chipped in

662
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: and basically darkness to get into that great playoff, really

663
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 2: cool finish. They are way too low on the board

664
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: for me. I mean, for the success they've had as

665
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 2: a duo, Kisner and Scott Brown, I think are a

666
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: steal at sixty six to one.

667
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tend to agree with you there. And guys

668
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: who again have some team chemistry. I like the players

669
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: in this who have for the last two months, three months,

670
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: every time I see each other like, dude, can't wait,

671
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: New Orleans, Zorich, We're gonna crush it, as opposed to

672
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: the guys who were showing up this week going hey

673
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: are you Oh you're restless? Okay, I'm falling. Nice to

674
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: meet you, all right, cool? You want to go play

675
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: a practice round or something together? No, okay, I'll just

676
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: see on Thursday. Chemistry. I think chemistry has got to

677
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: be worth something in this. So one really cool thing

678
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned off the top DraftKings does indeed have dfs

679
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: available this week for the first time as a Zora

680
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: Classic partnered event, which they didn't do for the first

681
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: three times. So we'll get to making a lineup in

682
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: just a minute here, but first let's get to our

683
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: five questions and five minutes. My turn to ask this.

684
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:47,719
Speaker 2: Week five minutes, five questions you never asked.

685
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. I get a little

686
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: irritated when somebody called me away from my golf. This

687
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: is five under a question one. If you can have

688
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: any PGA Tour player your Zurich Classic partner, Justin Ray,

689
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: who would you pick?

690
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 2: Wow? Any player as my partner.

691
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: Everyone has asked you to play. You've basically been invited

692
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: to the dance by by every player, and you can

693
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: just pick one invitation.

694
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 2: I want to win, man, I'm taking Dustin Johnson. I

695
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 2: don't know. That seems like a knee jerk easy reaction,

696
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 2: but I think you'd be an easy guy to get

697
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 2: along with for sure. I mean, just totally chill. Guy's

698
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: done everything in the game, and I mean I'm trying

699
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 2: to get a check. Baby, Let's go like, let's I'd

700
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: definitely be DJ's partner and see if we can go

701
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: and take the victory home. Yeah.

702
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I Rory just because I think, yeah,

703
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: that a good player. I'd probably have more fun with him. Speith.

704
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's like, you know, you always talk about, like, Hey,

705
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: who's the one guy, you want to make a putt

706
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: from ten feet away if your life is on the line,

707
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: It's like, well, it might not be my life, but

708
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: it might be my PGA Tour card on the line.

709
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: I'll let Jordan do it.

710
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: It all depends on what you're looking for with that answer, too, right,

711
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 2: Like you know, like Max Home would be a blast

712
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: to play with, Like there's a lot of guys a

713
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: great personality. Harold Varner seems like he'd he'd be a

714
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 2: ton of just be great to play with, just totally

715
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 2: enjoy it. But I mean, I'm gonna pick DJ. I

716
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: think we I don't think he'd be too wound up

717
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 2: if I let him down either. I don't think that.

718
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the highs and lows are going to

719
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: be fairly baseline for DJ for sure.

720
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 2: So get yeah, I'll take Dust all right.

721
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: Question number two, who would you least want to have

722
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 1: as your partner for PGA Tour players this week?

723
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: Oh? Man, oh this is brutal.

724
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: Least want you can't be like, oh, my diplomatic who's

725
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: like terrible. I play with him? He's an eighteen handicap.

726
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: I don't want to play with him. I'm talking like

727
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 1: a PGA Tour player.

728
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,479
Speaker 2: I'm trying to be as diplomatic diplomatic as I could

729
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 2: possibly be. Man, we feel like I'm throwing somebody under

730
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 2: the bus. Oh man, this is difficult. I don't want

731
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 2: to play with Scott Piercy. I just don't want to

732
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 2: wander into bizarre off courts territory. I'll just say that,

733
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 2: I'll just get actually, just you know, just stay on

734
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 2: the straight and narrow, young fella. I don't know, I'm

735
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: trying to answer this as diplomatically as possible. You got

736
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: me picking a player I don't want to be with.

737
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: Well, something was that Billy Horssell and Scott Piercy won

738
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: this thing two editions of the event together. Something happened.

739
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 2: Maybe I just made a horrible call there. I don't know.

740
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: There's I mean, there's a lot of guys I know.

741
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: I'm just saying there must be a reason why. I mean,

742
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: if you win with the guy and then two editions

743
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: of the event later, you're not playing together.

744
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 2: How about I'll go easy. I'll say Gary Woodland because

745
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 2: he's a Kansas Jayhawk. There you go, Missouri and Kansas

746
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: don't give along. So I'm sure Gary is like the

747
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: nicest guy in the world.

748
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: But yes, all right, you definitely want to put the

749
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: gary with.

750
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 2: That's a terrible question, Jason. You're welcome of an impossible situation.

751
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: All right, we're getting some real stuff here. Okay. Question three.

752
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: This week's competitors will receive FedEx Cup points but no

753
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: official World Golf Ranking points. Is this a correct b

754
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: Should they receive points for both or ce received points

755
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: for neither.

756
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 2: I think this is the best possible solution. I think

757
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 2: it's impossible to award World Ranking points in this kind

758
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 2: of format just based on one player. Like if you've

759
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 2: got a guy carrying his teammate, you know, is that

760
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: reflective of the World Ranking points that one specific player?

761
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: That?

762
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 2: Right? Probably not? But FedEx Cup, like it is a

763
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 2: PGA Tour event, right, and you're playing within the constraints

764
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 2: and the regulations of the tour season. And I think

765
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 2: this is the right compromise. I think this is the

766
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 2: best even ground that you can get where no World

767
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 2: Ranking points but yes for FedEx Cup. So yeah, I

768
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 2: think this is the right situation.

769
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: Okay, I tend to agree with you. I was just

770
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 1: I wanted to see what you were going to say.

771
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: But I tended to agree with that. Okay, question number four.

772
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: Need you to dig deep into your your stat book

773
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: that you got there. I know you got a book

774
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: there full of all those stats that you write down.

775
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: More important format this week best ball or alternate shot.

776
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: They played two rounds of each, best ball for round one,

777
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: in round three, alternate shot for round two and round four,

778
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: Which one is going to be more important to picking

779
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: an eventual winner.

780
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 2: So only three years of data to go back on.

781
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 2: But alternate shots scoring has been the more important of

782
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 2: the two the three winning teams so far twenty seventeen,

783
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 2: Blix and Smith ranked first an alternate shots score, Horsell

784
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 2: and Piercy the next year first an alternate shots score Wow,

785
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 2: Robin Palmer first an alternate shot scorre whoa average finish

786
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 2: of the top ten in twenty nineteen. Last time this

787
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 2: was held average finish at the top ten an alternate

788
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 2: shot seven point eight average finish to the top ten

789
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 2: in best ball twelve point nine. So it's a pretty

790
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 2: significant difference in terms of where the separating factor is.

791
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 2: There's obviously more potential for birdies and more variance in

792
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 2: terms of the best ball scoring, but in the young

793
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 2: history of this tournament, the alternate shot scoring has proven

794
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: to be more significant when it comes to determining the winner.

795
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: That's mind blowing, Honestly, that's great stat work by you

796
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: and makes me start to think that a team like

797
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: Brendan Todd and Chris Kirk could be really valuable this week.

798
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: I look at those guys and they keep it in play.

799
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 1: They're a good alternate shot team and at some point like, yes,

800
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 1: they're gonna make some birdies too, and it just won't

801
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: matter as much in the best ball.

802
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 2: That's kind of what Rob and Palmer did is that

803
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 2: it didn't matter. They were just really good at everything.

804
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 2: So it ended up carrying the water that week. But yeah, no,

805
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: it it does. You know, it does lend more credence

806
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 2: to just don't make big mistakes on that alternate shot.

807
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 2: Play consistent golf, don't put yourself in terrible positions for

808
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 2: your partner, and you know there's a lot of reward

809
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: in that.

810
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: That is fascinating.

811
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 2: I really like that.

812
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad I asked that question question number five. Shockingly,

813
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: we're not getting into food in New Orleans instead, and

814
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they're still doing this, but they've

815
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: done walk up music for teams here in the past,

816
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 1: if they are still doing it, or even if they're

817
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: not still doing it, what would be your walk ups

818
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: walk up song as you're going to the first tick?

819
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 2: I love this question. I love that they tie this

820
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: into this event too. It's just a fun way to

821
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 2: do it. Yeah. The best choice that I've seen our

822
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 2: man Rob Oppenheim and up to Naughty Nature you down

823
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 2: with opp which is lawless perfect tie in for everything

824
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 2: the I firmly believe that the greatest beginning to any

825
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 2: rap song is Ambious as a Rider by Tupac, And

826
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 2: so that would be my beginning because you get you

827
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 2: gotta that's key because I had to. I went through

828
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 2: this process in high school because we had walk up

829
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 2: music for baseball and you got to pick the first

830
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: twelve fifteen seconds is all you get, right, so you

831
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 2: gotta keep you know, you got to pick something that

832
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 2: builds in real quickly and hits right off the bat.

833
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 2: So that's my pick.

834
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say my favorite kind of beginning too,

835
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: And this is very phil Michelson may have walked up

836
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: to this music or someone said he was singing this music.

837
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. Where I heard the story, but Lose

838
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: Yourself by Eminem would be up there for me, Stronger

839
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: by Kanye, And then if I was going off the

840
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: hip hop beat, I go in the end by Lincoln Bark.

841
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 2: Okay, it'll work, but I had time.

842
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: To think of this. I just gave you two seconds

843
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: to give you.

844
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 2: Yes, that'd be mine. Off the gate, the opening, I'm

845
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 2: I'm looking on from Houston and Houston. It's country and rap.

846
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 2: That's really what we listen to. So the beginning of

847
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 2: Dwight Yoakam song called Guitars As is pretty good too.

848
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 2: Were the little strings in the beginning? That's nice? Yeah,

849
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 2: but Loo, I'll go with h I'll go with two

850
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 2: poc ambitions as a rider.

851
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, can't go can't go wrong with tubacs. So we're

852
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 1: gonna get to our DFS team in just the second

853
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: which should be very interesting this week. But before we

854
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: move on here, we want to show some love to

855
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: our sponsor, Athletic Brewing Company. As we talked about earlier,

856
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 1: Stuart Singh captured his third RBC Heritage title on Sunday

857
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,760
Speaker 1: at that tender age of forty seven, and next weekend,

858
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 1: if you want to spend more time sinking putts like sink,

859
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: and less time ralphing into a buddy's bathroom sink. The

860
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: award winning beers at Athletic Brewing are the perfect option

861
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: because for years now, Athletic Brewing has been making some

862
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: of the most flavorful beers money can buy, beers that

863
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: celebrate the innovation of great craft beer, but without the alcohol.

864
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: So if you want to take it easy on the

Speaker 1: while keeping your gambling edge. Let's get to our DFS

874
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: lineups this week, and Jay ray I mentioned it, this

875
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: is a strange week. It's a cool week. I made

876
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: one lineup already, just kind of look through the numbers

877
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: and it it's kind of tough. I mean, we talked

878
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: about there being some haves and have notts out there

879
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: this year. If you want to get a couple of has,

880
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: you're going to kind of have to dig deeper for

881
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: some have notts this week. So the way they're doing it,

882
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: every player in the field is sort of his own pick.

883
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: But you can't take anybody on the same team in

884
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: the same lineup. So I mean, if you see Cameron

885
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: Smith sitting in there at what is the eleven one

886
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: hundred on DraftKings, you can't also take Mark Leishman at

887
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: eleven one hundred and essentially double up with teammates. And

888
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: so I think that's mostly for for the tech purposes,

889
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 1: so to speak, the data purposes, for them to basically

890
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: separate each player, but they will get the same numbers.

891
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see sort of ownership numbers where

892
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: you know, Cameron Smith's twenty three percent, Mark Leishman's only

893
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: four percent. It's the same thing. And so it just

894
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: looks a little weird. As you're making the team. We

895
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: want to be a DFS millionaire, You're just one lineup away.

896
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna go nose to nose with him, and you're

897
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: gonna play better than you ever dreamed of.

898
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 2: Goddit, that's what.

899
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: I demand of you. So let's get drafting. I'll kick

900
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: it to you for the first pick here and again.

901
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: This is gonna be some very interesting stuff, all right.

902
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 2: So we talked about the kids in a Brown group.

903
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 2: They got no respect. They should be a higher price

904
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 2: here at eighty seven hundred. I think there must pick second, fifth, fifteenth,

905
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: and three starts as a team in this event, I'll

906
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 2: go with Scott Brown and Kevin Kissner eighty seven hundred

907
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 2: to get it started. Yeah, I like that a lot.

908
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look for something where I don't spend

909
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: too much money right off the bat, and there's a

910
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: team right about it. The average salary. I mentioned him earlier,

911
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: Jason Kokrak and Pat Perez. They're gonna have a whole

912
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: lot of fun playing together. Similar type personalities, guys that

913
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 1: hang out a lot together, and I can see guys

914
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: who like just kind of get amp for this thing.

915
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we've all played like a member guest and

916
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 1: you look at two guys, you're like, man, I want

917
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: any piece of those guys. Those guys are like they

918
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 1: look like they're on a heater. They look like they're

919
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: having fun. They're blasting loud music like that would be

920
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: co Crack and Perez and so at eighty three hundred,

921
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: I think they're a really nice play this week.

922
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 2: That might be one of the teams more likely most

923
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 2: likely to be at Harris until three am.

924
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: Though. Yeah, we'll see if that's helps the game.

925
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 2: I like it anytime I get to root for Pat Perez.

926
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 2: He's fun. So we'll do that another team I mentioned earlier.

927
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 2: I like this value too, Doug gimm and justin eighty

928
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 2: one hundred, a little bit, you know, a little bit

929
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 2: further on the board, we can save a little bit

930
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 2: of money. I like that value, and the profile statistically

931
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 2: for game I think is really strong. He's really turning

932
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 2: into a really solid PGA Tour player. Eighty one hundred

933
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 2: four Sue and Gim.

934
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: I sort of like what we're doing here where we're

935
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: just basically picking guys off the middle and not spending

936
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: a lot on anybody and having to dig deeper for

937
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:25,280
Speaker 1: teams that that might not make it to the weekend.

938
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: What is do you know, right off the top of

939
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: your head, j Ray, what the cut is this week?

940
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 2: I think it's a smaller number. I want to say

941
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 2: thirty five player our teams.

942
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: Is that all okay, out of eighty six, So with.

943
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 2: Six of six, if you if you hit on all

944
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 2: six teams, I mean, I think that's going to be

945
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 2: a pretty low percentage of DFS players are going to

946
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 2: be able to do that. I don't have that right

947
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 2: in front of me. I will find it while you

948
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 2: are talking.

949
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'm going to filibuster here so you can

950
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: find that.

951
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 2: Please. Do you know what?

952
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: Here's a good team that again, and we mentioned these

953
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: guys being sort of a mismatched pair and I'm not

954
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: sure how they even got together. Although actually Batilla was

955
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: a sponsor exemption this week and he's bringing Scott Piercy

956
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: alongside him. Scott Piercy won this thing a few years ago.

957
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: I remember Billy Horschall doing most of the heavy lifting

958
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: in that pairing that week back into twenty eighteen. But

959
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: Batzi is a really good player, and he can make

960
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 1: birdies and bunches. Again, I like having some team chemistry

961
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: between guys, but hey, we've got a few days to

962
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 1: develop chemistry between them. So at sixty nine hundred, I'll

963
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,760
Speaker 1: go with those two high ceiling.

964
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 2: Batilla really fun player to watch your cut is the

965
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 2: low thirty three teams and ties.

966
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: Wow, all right, going six for six is gonna make

967
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: you some money this week.

968
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. So if you go six for six, I mean

969
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 2: there's a ton of value there, all right. So we

970
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 2: saved a little bit of money sixty nine hundred for

971
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 2: Batilla and Piercy. You know what, Let's take a couple

972
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 2: of Oklahoma State Cowboys, guys who were teammates in college

973
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 2: not too long ago. A really high ceiling for both

974
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 2: of these guys could be a terrifying prospect for the

975
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 2: Ryder Cup if Victor Hoblin hits his stride going into September,

976
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 2: because we know what his ceiling kind of looks like.

977
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 2: Victor Hoblin and Chrispin Tour a ninety seven hundred uror

978
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 2: really promising player also from that unreal Oklahoma State program

979
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 2: that will leave you eighty three hundred on the board.

980
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 2: I think there's some value there. There's a lot of

981
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 2: birdies potentially out of that group.

982
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is the problem. You look at eighty three hundred,

983
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: we've already taken. Well. I clicked on Jason Kokrak and

984
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: the first name that comes up is Pat Prez, and

985
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: I can't take him because we already have that. Then,

986
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: and look a little further down and I've already used

987
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: Doug Gimmon justin Sugz there. Well, no, I can't use

988
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 1: him either, So I might go with the team right

989
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: in the middle of them. What do you think of

990
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: Wyndham Clark and Eric Van Royan, two guys that I

991
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: really like, neither of whom have really played up to

992
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,919
Speaker 1: their potential this year. But at times, you know, they've

993
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: been very good and maybe you know, each one sort

994
00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: of cancels out the other guys in consistencies a little bit.

995
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: Maybe they can play well together. What do you think

996
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: of that one?

997
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of potential to go low there.

998
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 2: I mean, for sure, you've seen Wyndham Clark's done that

999
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 2: handful of tournaments. Van Royan all over the World's made

1000
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 2: a ton of birdies in some of his biggest moments.

1001
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, we kind of fit to. We've had a

1002
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 2: lot of good international players come through the last three years.

1003
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 2: Those teams have met some success, So yeah, sight unseen

1004
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 2: leaving you. But the perfect fit would have been Perez

1005
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 2: and co crack right there. But at eighty two hundred,

1006
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 2: I think Clark and Van Royan are good. I think

1007
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 2: we've got a good balance here on this roster.

1008
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 1: Yes, we've got Patilla and pure Cy, Clark, Van Royan,

1009
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: Gimms Hovelan Venture, Kisner Brown and co Crack Perez And

1010
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: I think, quite honestly, if you're gonna win one this week,

1011
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 1: you've got to go five out of six, six out

1012
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: of six, which is gonna be really tough. And if

1013
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: you want to go for some of those big guns

1014
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: based on the pricing, it's gonna be tough. You're gonna

1015
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: have to figure someone out who's really low priced and

1016
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: find a tandem that could really work well together. But

1017
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: I do like what we came up with our Jay

1018
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: Ray I'm.

1019
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 2: With you, and I would tell folks just don't be

1020
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 2: afraid to dive a little bit deeper. I mean, just

1021
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,479
Speaker 2: the randomness that's created in team events can generate some,

1022
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,280
Speaker 2: you know, some pretty interesting outcomes. We told you about

1023
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 2: Matt every and kh Lee finishing tied for third the

1024
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 2: last time this urn was out here. I guarantee their

1025
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 2: ownership wouldn't have been very high on Draftking. So just

1026
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 2: an interesting week, really fun different format, good change of pace.

1027
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, We'll see if Matt every can duplicate that with

1028
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 1: Charlie Belgian as his partner this week. There's some interesting

1029
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 1: stuff out there. Can't wait to see it all. You

1030
