Speaker 2: of golf. Here. I am at Augusta National right now.

Speaker 2: is indeed Master's week. Hello friend, her, Hello friend.

11
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: It looks like so if you're seeing us visually, it

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: kind of looks like they finally put Jason in a

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: padded room, like he's got like a beige kind of

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: insane asylum thing going on behind him. But it's merely

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: just you know, get him where you fit in the

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: limited space real estate there this week at Augusta National.

17
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: What's it looking like? How's it going? You made the

18
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: journey up a little bit north of you to Augusta National,

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 1: a road you've driven down about a zillion times from

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: on that highway from Florida to Georgia.

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: So I can tell you this, and I know you

22
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: will understand this, perhaps more than anybody else that I

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: could tell this to but most people here, WHOA, You're

24
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: going to the Masters. That's amazing. You get to walk around,

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: you get to hang out, you get to do all

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: this stuff. So I got into town at around six

27
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: point thirty on Monday evening. First thing you have to

28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: is go get your COVID test and then head back

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: to the place I was staying. Where I stayed up

30
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: writing preview content till two thirty in the morning, well

31
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: this morning about seven, this is Monday now, and as

32
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: we're recording this, and so as soon as I got up,

33
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: I was not cleared yet with the COVID test to

34
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: go to the course. So just worked from back where

35
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,279
Speaker 2: I was staying and finally got cleared came to the course.

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: As soon as I came to the course, I had

37
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: another podcast, I had a radio show, I had to

38
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: write some stuff. I had a whole bit like I

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: have not seen the golf course yet. And so yes,

40
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: Augusta has been fantastic so far. Here in my padded

41
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: room in the bowels of the Augusta National Media Center.

42
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: And Jason's not complaining about what he does for a living.

43
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: But I would never do that.

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: We're not roofing houses in the heat. But I feel

45
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: the same way working in TV production. I would always

46
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: get that too, Like I would post a picture from

47
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: the set being on set with Golf Channel or ESPN

48
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: back in the day, and I think people would think

49
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: that I'm sitting out there like watching the eighteenth Green

50
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: crushing beers all day. Like No, most of the life

51
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: of in production TV, you're in a television compound that

52
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: may as well be on the surface of the moon,

53
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: like you don't know, like it is like you were saying,

54
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: you could be in Augusta, Georgia or Augusta main right now,

55
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: and for the most part you're gonna have the same

56
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: experience for a lot of the days. So yeah, it's

57
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: a lot of work, but an unbelievable golf tournament obviously,

58
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: And you know, I know, deep down you're excited you're there.

59
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm not there this year, the first one I've missed

60
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: in a long time, just working remotely with COVID restrictions

61
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: and stuff. The TV corow I work with is still

62
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: in London, so but I mean, you know, you really

63
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: got a spot at t Bones and you know you'll

64
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: sneak in maybe a peach ice cream sandwich here and there,

65
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: get a little bit of the flavors of the week.

66
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: No, no, don't do not get me wrong here. That

67
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: was not bitching, That was not complaining, That was not

68
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: taking anything for granted. That was nothing about not liking

69
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: what I'm doing. I love everything about it. It's just

70
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: don't think that I'm exactly hanging out, you know, on

71
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: sixteen crushing beers, watching guys skip balls across the pond.

72
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: It's just that that's there's work to be done, and

73
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: so we do it for you guys, for the listeners.

74
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: We just want to help you out. And so this

75
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: is a week with a lot of hype coming into it.

76
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: That hype machine is cranked up. Jordan speedth wins yesterday

77
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: the Valero Texas Open. Brooks Koepka comes back in like

78
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: three days from a knee surge somehow, and he's going

79
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: to apparently play golf. John Rahm. I had all my

80
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: preview content with John Rahm's name with an asterisk next

81
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: to it because I wasn't sure that he was going

82
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: to play well. The baby came early, and now he

83
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: is indeed going to be playing the Masters. So the

84
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: hype machine is cranked let's first start. Normally for a

85
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: major championship, we'd skip over on there's some event last week,

86
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: but who cares, Let's get to the major championship. But

87
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: it's very relevant because the event that just finished last

88
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: week happened to have Jordan Spieth as a winner for

89
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: the first time in one three hundred and fifty one days.

90
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: Who knows to you for remembering the exact day total.

91
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: If San Antoni and Texas Open felt like with Speith winning,

92
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: like the culmination of the early season swing, right where

93
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: Speek's building towards this, you know the result that he

94
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: was always trending towards his approach play was magnificent all week.

95
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: He had the most Trixcanteen green he's ever had in

96
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: any of his dozen PG tor wins. Played great, and

97
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: it's the perfect segue walking right into Augusta National, right

98
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: where you have this guy, a pass champion who has

99
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: passed heartbreak and we've been waiting for him to return

100
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: to form areas. And if you just stripped his name

101
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: away and just called him player X and had all

102
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: his statistics from the last three months and we're looking

103
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: at it, whether it was his finishes, his ball striking

104
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: numbers even a short game and plutting numbers player X

105
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: would be. With Jordan's speed stats, you'd pick him all right. Now,

106
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: add the fact that he's Jordan Speed. He has the

107
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 1: best scoring average in the history of the Masters among

108
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: guys with twenty or more rounds. Like, Okay, now we're

109
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: really getting fired up. I think we can see something

110
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: special this week. So yeah, no, I'm with you. Normally,

111
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: you just kind of even as somebody from Houston who

112
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: grew up growing going to the Houston Open and you know,

113
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: defending it a year in and year out, that placed

114
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: the week before the Masters, really easy to gloss over

115
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: the final round there and get excited about headed to Augusta, Georgia.

116
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: So let's extrapolate from what this weekend means to this

117
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 2: current week and look, I like Jordan Speed. I like

118
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: Jordan Speed a lot.

119
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: This week.

120
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: I don't think there's really very many scenarios in which

121
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: Jordan doesn't at least play well, play really well. Does

122
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: that mean he's going to win? Not necessarily, he might

123
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: play really well and finishing a share of seventh place,

124
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: But I do think he is going to be a

125
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 2: prominent name on the leader board for four days this week.

126
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 2: That said, there are two reasons why I'm not putting

127
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: him a top my list of my favorite players this week.

128
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: The first, it's really more of a sort of personal

129
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: bias here or tangible or something, but just the fact

130
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: that a month ago I was kind of on Jordan

131
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: Speed and he was trending the right direction. I was

132
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: telling people that I watch out for Speed, I kind

133
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 2: of like him for Augusta. And now the entire world

134
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: is on Jordan Speed after him winning on Sunday. That

135
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: I just feel like you're jumping on the bandwagon if

136
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 2: you do it now and out.

137
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: Of boat space. The docs are all full, kid, now

138
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: full of boats. There's no more room.

139
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: I will say that in the non Tiger Woods category

140
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: of players over the years, anytime everyone's been on a

141
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: specific player to win a specific event, it don't happen

142
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: that way. And so when everyone zigs, you got to

143
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: try to zag a little bit. The other reason is

144
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: more tangible. Okay, you're you're giving me the all, like,

145
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: you know, rolling your eyes at me.

146
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, but it'd be so much

147
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: fun to zig this week, oh Man, to just stay

148
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: with the flow and see that happen.

149
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: That's the only reason you got again, I appreciate.

150
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: My personal pence.

151
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: All right, Well here's here's the tangible part of this.

152
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: And granted I will one hundred percent admit that I

153
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: was listening on the radio, so I am depending on

154
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: some other eyes from PGA to a radio watching this

155
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: for me. But they did a very good job of

156
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: painting a picture. And early in the round, according to them,

157
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: Speth was trying to hit some draws at TVC San

158
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: Antonio and just was not able to turn the ball over.

159
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: He was lose it to the right to the left

160
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: and then started relying on the fade, and the fade

161
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: is what got him home. That's great at TBC San Antonio.

162
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: I'm glad he can rely on that fade, hit the

163
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: ball left to right and win a tournament like that.

164
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: I'm not so sure that Augusta National, where you've got

165
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: to rely on a right to left ball flight off

166
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: the tee on so many holes that Jordan Speith can

167
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: rely on hitting a fade and I'm wondering whether he

168
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: can turn the ball over right to left. How's that

169
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: for a reason not to pick pre you like it

170
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: this week?

171
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it as a reason to

172
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: stick to because it's it's tangible, it's experiential, it's something

173
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: that you can really grab and feel. And you know,

174
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm the numbers guy, so I endorse that that concrete,

175
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, tangible evidence. Jordan Speed is the best strokes

176
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: gained approach of any player here. In the last six years,

177
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: Jordan Speith has the second most strokes gained total pour

178
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: round in the history of the Masters to Ben Hogan.

179
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: Jordan Speith has the best scoring average in Master's tournament history,

180
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: and over the last two months, he's arguably one of

181
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: the three or four best players on the PGA Tour.

182
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it all is pointing in the direction where

183
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: you can see why everybody would flock to him. Now,

184
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: I say all that, and he's not at the very

185
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: top of my list either, because I think there are

186
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: some other names there that are a little bit more

187
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: valuable that I expect to win a little bit more

188
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: so than Jordan. But would I be surprised if this

189
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: guy went out, held the first round lead, contended, won

190
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: the golf tournament. I wouldn't be surprised to see any

191
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: of that. I mean, the guy has he already has

192
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: led nine Masters rounds in his career. The only players

193
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: to lead more rounds than him in the history of

194
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: the tournament are the Big Three and Tiger Woods. I mean,

195
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: he's only twenty seven, He's only playing in what's six

196
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: of these, so I know there's a few players are

197
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: course horses on a place that's this prestigious and this

198
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: immense that you get to go back a year and

199
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: year out at this young of an age that Jordan

200
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: Speith is. So I hear you though on that ballfly thing,

201
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: that is a little bit concerning. We'll see if he's

202
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: it's something he's able to work out. But I don't know.

203
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: I just love his course history so much here and

204
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: it's really tough to pick against him this week.

205
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: And don't get me wrong, it's not as if I'm

206
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: fading speed this week. I have them number two in

207
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: my ranking of the field, So this is, yeah, this

208
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: is not like, hey, I hate Jordan. I don't think

209
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: you can do it. It's just I don't have him

210
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: number one. But I still think that he's going to

211
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: have a really special week. Anyway, let's get right into it, whore.

212
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: You jump into it. Everybody needs to check out my

Speaker 1: favorites and going into a tournament, how they performed the Masters.

215
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: I thought it was awesome, man, just totally unprovoked. Jason

216
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: didn't tell me to say this. I really enjoyed reading it.

217

Speaker 1: I recommend everybody. He'll give you a whole new perspective

Speaker 2: Thank you those A lot of work went into that.

221
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: Our graphics, styles and editors did a really good job.

222
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: I say graphics guys Evan Abrams shout out to him

223
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: because he's our producer on the Gimme and somehow he's

224
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: also our graphics guy at the Action Network. Like the

225
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: guy literally does everything. He's jose A Kendo. So uh,

226
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 2: he did a really.

227
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: Good job on that.

228
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: But I want to get into two thirty in the

229
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 2: morning finish right now. My preview content and I had

230
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: Xander Schoffley winning this golf tournament, and somehow four and

231
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: a half hours later, I woke up at seven am

232
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: and my new winner is gen Rob. I'm not sure

233
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: what happened in those four and a half hours. I

234
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: had a dream, I had a premonition, I had a nightmare.

235
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: Something happened. But I woke up and I said, Nope,

236
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 2: it ain't Xander. It's wrong.

237
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: Since Xander rolled his ankle in the morning jog or something.

238
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: I wish him no ill will. I've got a third

239
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: on my list, so I hope he plays well. Genrem

240
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: has everything that I'm looking for. First of all, course history,

241
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: three straight top tens in Augusta National. He's got recent forms.

242
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: Seven of his last nine starts have been top tens.

243
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: He's got that strokes gained approach that we always talk about,

244
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: which is so important at this golf course. He's fourteenth

245
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: on the PGA Tour this year. Andy's got the nappy factor.

246
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: He's now a dad for the first time, and we

247
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 2: all know how that worked out for Danny Willett, who

248
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: had threatened not to come to Augusta five years ago.

249
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 2: The baby was born, he came, and the rest is history.

250
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: So genre based on all of those things, some very tangible,

251
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 2: some intangible. But he is my favorite play for this week.

252
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: I think he's ready to go out and win a

253
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: golf tournament. I think that this might be his best

254
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 2: chance of any of the four majors.

255
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: So my number one, John Ramstack going into the week

256
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: to be aware of he's been amazing on the par

257
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: five since he made his debut here. Since twenty sixteen,

258
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: he's tied for first in par five scoring. In terms

259
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: of morn par he's one hundred and fifty eighth in

260
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: par three scoring. He's got to figure that aspect of

261
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: the golf course out he's gained almost as he's third

262
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: and strokes gained off the tee at the Masters the

263
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: last four years, and that speaks to how well he's

264
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: played those par fives. His strokes gain approach is pretty

265
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: good all things considered, but for some reason he hasn't

266
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: played the par threes particularly well. So if he figures

267
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: that out, I mean, look, the guy's still despite that

268
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: number with the par threes thirty one under park here

269
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: the last three years. The only player better is Dustin Johnson.

270
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: So it's impossible now with you know, you got to

271
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: think he's in a good frame of mind. He's happy,

272
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: the kids here, you know, new all the narrative you'll

273
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: hear all week, like not just phrase nappy factor, but

274
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: new perspective on life and all these things I think

275
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: are corny now, but when my son arrives in like

276
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: five weeks, I'll probably think her wonderful and agree with.

277
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: But I can't wait, by the way, for the j

278
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 2: Ray Nappy factor. I'm just tailing all of your bets

279
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: that week.

280
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, like, what does that look like?

281
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: Like is a hot streak in that regard? Am I like?

282
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: Am I cranking out like the greatest, most in depth

283
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: notes ever? I don't really know. Really, I think it's

284
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: gonna be sleep deprivation is gonna be the key thing

285
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: that I've experience. But yeah, it possible to not like

286
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: Rom here, but the history he's had in his career.

287
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: He actually I thought this was funny. Among players who

288
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: have not won the Masters, He's second in strokes gained

289
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: all time among players at least sixteen rounds. The only

290
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: guy with a better strokes gained average you never won

291
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: was Lloyd Mangrim, someone who played years and years ago

292
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: and never broke through the win.

293
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: But I think Rom would kick Mangram's ass this week.

294
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd pick him, and I definitely take Rom. But

295
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: I was just saying that because it lend's a little

296
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: bit of perspective of how good he's been out of

297
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: the game. If you got beat by some lendeddary performances.

298
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: I think the week Patrick Reid won, he was he

299
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: went super low. But yeah, I know it's easy to

300
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: like Ron this week too. I'm with you.

301

Speaker 3: to the show.

331
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: No More Suspense. Who's your favorite pick this week?

332
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to pick a guy. I went with

333
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: him in the fall and he nearly broke through and

334
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: did it every time this player has gone to Augustin Nationally,

335
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: he's finished better than the year before, thirty ninth, than

336
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: twenty second, then seventeenth, then twelfth. Last fall he finished fourth.

337
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm picking Justin Thomas. Justin Thomas leads all players as

338
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: trusts approach for a round at Augusta National in the

339
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: last three years. If you like more traditional statistics. He

340
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: also leads in greens in regulation here the last three years.

341
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: You know, you saw how proficient he is when he's

342
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: at his best tea green when he wanted the players

343
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: a little while ago. For my money, over the last

344
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: two to three years, he's the best iron player on

345
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: the planet. No golf course in championship golf rewards approach

346
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: play more than Augusta National. Talk about it as a

347
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: second shot golf course. Guys, believe it. That's what it is.

348
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: It's the most important statistic is approach play. Going into

349
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: this golf tournament, the only player to win at Sawgrass

350
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: and Augusta in the same year it is Tiger Woods.

351
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: I think JT is going to become the second guy

352
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: to do it this week.

353
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: Don't dislike it. I mean I talked about having Rob

354
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: number one, and speak number two and Zander number three.

355
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: JT's number four on my list, So I mean, we're

356
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: certainly in tune with a lot of these picks. I

357
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: look at this upper tier. I don't think you can

358
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: look at really any of these players and say he

359
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: doesn't have a chance. I mean, whether it's DJ hasn't

360
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: played great lately, you can find a reason not to

361
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: pick him, but you also can find a reason why

362
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 2: he could certainly win the golf tournament. DJ's up there Bryce,

363
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 2: and I don't love Bryson on this golf course. I

364
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: just don't think his strategy mixes well with the skill

365
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 2: set needed at Augustin National. I love his strategy for

366
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 2: most other events. Ninety percent of the courses that he plays,

367
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: his strategy will work on. I just don't think it

368
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 2: works as well as it could at Augustin National. That said, though,

369
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 2: I mean you could you can convince me of Rory McElroy,

370
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 2: who I don't love. I feel like, you know, and

371
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: I've said this before, that he is a two to

372
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: five football team that is making a coaching change and

373
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: hoping to implement a new playbook and still get to

374
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: the playoffs this year.

375
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: He still has a ranchise quarterback, and like, absolutely the

376
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: pieces are there.

377
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: You just got to get it. Sure, get into the

378
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 2: house and get some wins on the board. But you

379
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 2: look at a Patrick Cantley, You look at Colin morri Cowie,

380
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 2: you look at even a Daniel Berger, a Victor Hovelin.

381
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 2: The two of them shut out last November, and maybe

382
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: they have a little narrative factor. But you look at

383
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 2: all those players, you know, can I see them winning? Sure?

384
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 2: I mean, is there anyone else from the top tier

385
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 2: that a you really like, especially that we haven't mentioned yet,

386
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: and be anyone from that top tier that you're like, Nope,

387
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: no way. If I make twenty DFS lineups, he's not

388
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: in any of them. I don't like him.

389
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm not putting Bryson in anything this week. Yeah. I

390
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: just look, there's seventy six players who have played ten

391
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: or more rounds at Augustin National the last four years.

392
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: Of that group, Bryson to Shambo is seventieth and stroke

393
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: scan putting. I think that the fact that he can't

394
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: use the Green reading book, it's something you're going to

395
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: hear a lot about this week, but there's tangible evidence

396
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: to say that he's struggled on the green so far.

397
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: Here now, as prepared and as miniacles that guy is.

398
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: Could he come out and talented as he is, could

399
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: he come out and completely prove me wrong? Yes, But

400
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: he's a guy who, like you said, I think his strategy. Look,

401
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: I love him for Torrey Pines, for the US Open,

402
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: absolutely love him. Yes, But here I think you know,

403
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: we talked about this, We've talked about this before. Like

404
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: his advantage. Yes, he hits the ball off the t

405
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: very and that's the thing that captivates people. But the

406
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: bigger advantage in some of these bigger events, whether it

407
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: was Bayhill or Wingfoot, is that he's able to hit

408
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: pitching wedge or nine iron out of penalizing rough and

409
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: get better launch angles into greens to give himself scoring opportunities,

410
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: whereas the other guys are hitting seven six irons out

411
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: of that same ruff and just end up scrambling to

412
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: make park. That's where his big advantage comes in. And

413
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: there's just no real penalizing rough to speak up for

414
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: the most part at Agusta Nashals, so that kind of

415
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: goes away. I love your analogy about Rory being the

416
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: two and five football team, but they've got you know,

417
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: it's like they've still got you know, I don't know,

418
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson like an all pro defensive line ready to go,

419
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: like they just needed to flip the switch. I just

420
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: don't know if I can trust those iron numbers from

421
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: the last six months coming into this week now, it

422
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: would make perfect sense for a guy's immensely talent as Rory,

423
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: who's got the burden of finishing the Grand Slam and

424
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: this will be his seventh crack. I can't believe it's

425
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: been set. This is seventh time trying to win the

426
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 1: Grand Slam since he won the PGA, So for him

427
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: to be kind of under the radar and shock everybody,

428
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: that would kind of make perfect sense, right, But I personally,

429
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: just speaking from a number standpoint, I like pretty much

430
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: everybody else at the top of the board for one

431
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: reason or another. But I'm avoiding Bryson and Rory.

432
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 2: Yeah you're You're on the same exact page as me.

433
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: Two things about Rory, first of all, is that if

434
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 2: he does somehow win this week, how many guys are

435
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 2: calling Pete Cowen's cell phone on Monday morning going yo,

436
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 2: what about me? Like I think cow is a raged.

437
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: If it can go any.

438
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: Higher now, oh my goodness, I mean, yeah, that would

439
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 2: be huge for them. So I've got to think that,

440
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know what motivates Pete Cowen. I

441
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 2: don't know him that well or really at all, but uh,

442
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: it would be very interesting to see, like, you know,

443
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: kind of where they are in that process right now.

444
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't. Here's another little stat on Rory.

445
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: He has been in the top five on the pre

446
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 2: tournament odds board each of the last ten years, which

447
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 2: I just find like remarkably consistent. I mean, he's just

448
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 2: he's been that good for that law and hasn't gone

449
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 2: out and won this golf tournament. I mean, that's like

450
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 2: a lot of years of just banging your head against

451
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: the wall afterwards, going what do I need to do?

452
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: And obviously he's dried something new this year, which is, hey,

453
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: let's make a major change right beforehand and see how

454
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 2: that works. But I'm on saying page with you as

455
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: far as fading Bryson and for the most part, fading Rory,

456
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: and then everyone else looks like from that top tier

457
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: they can at least give this a round. How about

458
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: the mid tier.

459
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: I a one Rory stat. I gotta get to everybody,

460
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: and this is the biggest thing for me going into

461
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: this week, so since he won the PGA at Valhalla

462
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: Major Championship since twenty fifteen, the first round Rory McElroy

463
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: is a combined twenty eight over part rounds two through four,

464
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: he's sixty four under. So he's been getting off to

465
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: badge starts consistently in major championships and then lighting it up.

466
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: Like basically a miniature version of that would be what

467
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: he did at Royal Port Rush where he went out

468
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: and had the terrible start and then lit it up

469
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: in a round two and almost made the cut. So

470
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: he gets off to a good start. But that's just

471
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: a number to keep in mind.

472
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 2: Going all right, let's look at the next tier down,

473
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: the mid tier, And granted mid tier can mean a

474
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 2: lot of different things here, but I'm gonna give you

475
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 2: four names that I like from this tier for various

476
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: top fives, top tens, top twenties. Yeah, those kind of

477
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: beats good DFS lineup fillers. But Paul Casey love Paul Casey.

478
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 2: This week, I've got him top five on my list.

479
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 2: I mentioned the other the top four earlier, but I've

480
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: got him fifth on my list. I think he's gonna

481
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 2: have a really good week. I could see Paul Casey

482
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: leading by two, going into Sunday, playing okay on Sunday

483
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 2: and getting passed by three guys and finishing like right

484
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: there in the top five.

485
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: So I got it all played heartbreak for the man.

486
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 2: I love Paul too. Paul's one of my favorite interviews

487
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 2: in the game. I'm gonna give you Jason Kokrack who's

488
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 2: played really well lately, Corey Connors who's played really well lately,

489
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 2: and Will's Alaturus who plays really well every single week.

490
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: I like the Casey call lot. Casey ranks fifth in

491
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: strokesain approach at the Masters since twenty fifteen. Reason really

492
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: like him. Arnie had Corey Connor's written on my list

493
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: here without us consulting each other. I got him at

494
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: plus eight thousand. I mean, for one of the best

495
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: iron players on the PGA toury guy's playing the best

496
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: golf of his career. He hasn't flashed in a major

497
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: championship yet, but would anybody be surprised if he was

498
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: this year's version of Sung JM or Cameron Smith and

499
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: came out and had a big week. I mean, he's

500
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: a guy who can He's a guy who can score

501
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: and the strength of his games, his approach play straight up,

502
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: so not necessarily a ticket for him to win for me,

503
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: but a top ten or a top twenty, just a

504
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: good value there. You said mid level can mean a

505
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: lot of things. One of the names it's kind of

506
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: close to Paul Casey, the odds are similar, is the

507
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: reigning PGA champion Colin Morricala. I know it's tough to

508
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: say that's like mid range, but we talked about those

509
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: names at the top. It's so top heavy, you can

510
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: find some value a little bit of the ways down there.

511
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: Markow didn't play well in his first major start after

512
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: his first started the Masters, after winning the PGA Championship.

513
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: He didn't play well, But look this, like I said,

514
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: is a place that rewards elite iron play, maybe more

515
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: so than anywhere else in championship golf. He leaves the

516
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: PGA torns strukes again approach. He was second in the

517
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: stat last season. Since he's turned pro, he's one of

518
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: the better iron players in the world. No one should

519
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: be surprised if he comes out and has a big

520
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: week after a year a little bit more under his

521
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: belt with those learning the greens at Augusta National because

522
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: his iron play is gonna travel everywhere.

523
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 2: You know, who else holds some value. I know he's

524
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: probably listening to the podcast and hasn't heard his name

525
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: mentioned for the first twenty minutes. And Brooks Kep could

526
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 2: just punched a hole right through his laptop. He's right,

527
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: I can't Soball and Ray he had not even mentioned me.

528
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 2: He's talking about the best players in the world. I

529
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 2: have four major championships. DJ has only got half of that.

530
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 2: Come on, they're not even gonna mention my name. And

531
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 2: you know I said, well, he had knee surgery. Come on, man,

532
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: he had a great quote. He said I wouldn't be

533
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 2: here if I was gonna come in second place. I mean,

534
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 2: that is a Tiger esque kind of quote. I just

535
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 2: think that the more people say, oh, you know, Brooks,

536
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 2: he just had knee surgery, he can't really do. He's

537
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 2: not that healthy right now, the more fired up he's

538
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: gonna get. And I can see Brooks making a serious

539
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 2: run at this thing. For Brooks, I see if he

540
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 2: can go out and just shoot an even part round

541
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: in the first round, then maybe one or two under

542
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: on the second day, and then it gets you know,

543
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: maybe a sixty eight on Saturday and then maybe another

544
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 2: sixty eight sixty seven on some I mean, that's gonna

545
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 2: put him right there where we think the winning score

546
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: could be. And that might be the formula for him

547
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 2: is Hey, let me come from behind and let me

548
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: progress with this injury. So if you see.

549
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 4: Brooks at sitting at T twenty five going into the

550
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 4: weekend at you know, plus eight thousand, plus ten dollars,

551
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 4: like that might be a nice play to pick up

552
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 4: going into the weekend.

553
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: I like that call too, because I could sense him,

554
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, getting into the mix and then adrenaline takes

555
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: over and mask some of that pains knee to where

556
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: that could happen. Look, mister Kapka, it's all a method

557
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: to the madness. We're just getting fired up here, man.

558
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: So you just you know, bang out some put another

559
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: ten on the on the bar, and bang out some

560
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: reps before you go out and hit balls or something.

561
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: One hundred and three under part brooks Kepka and the

562
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: Major since twenty fifteen, forty shots better than any other

563
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: player for that thing alone. I don't care about his knee.

564
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: He reserves to be warrened. Warrants mentioned going into any

565
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: major championship, because the guy has been an absolute monster

566
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: in the majors as we know over the last five

567
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: or six years. Yeah, if you believe in his health

568
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: and you think he's gonna be able to make it.

569
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: The game was in really good shape. It was just

570
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: a matter of the knee holding up and the injuries

571
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: being the question. So if he's able to be healthy,

572
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: if he thinks he can go. I love the quote.

573
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: You know, like you said, Tiger Ask, he wouldn't be

574
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: here if he didn't think he couldn't win. You know,

575
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: he's not. He ain't coming here for T twelve, that's

576
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: for sure.

577
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: I could see brooks Kopka with the green jacket on

578
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: Sunday evening, sitting there on his phone just sending gifts

579
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 2: to like every little uh, you know, every tweeter out there.

580
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: This guy's got six followers and books like, Yeah, man,

581
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 2: he thought I couldn't do it, well, I showed you.

582
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 2: How about this? I look good and green? I mean,

583
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 2: just like going after everybody, like doing a search for

584
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 2: himself and going after everybody. So let's go down to

585
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: that lower tier. You know, there's some value here in

586
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 2: the fact that at least, there's only eighty eight players

587
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 2: in the field. It's top fifty and ties to make

588
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: the cut. There are a lot of bets out there

589
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: to be made. You can bet guys just to make

590
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: the cut or miss the cut. You can bet top

591
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 2: forties this week. And so I don't know that we're

592
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 2: necessarily looking at anyone who's you know, got a big

593
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: number next to their name, is a potential winner of

594
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 2: this golf tournament. But anybody strike you as a guy

595
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 2: from like bigger odds. I'm looking at one Phil Mickelson,

596
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 2: like a top thirty or so, why not just you

597
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 2: know that he wasn't nearly as motivated last week when

598
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 2: he made what a nine or a ten or whoever knows,

599
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 2: you know, they think they lost track trying to count

600
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: at the end of the first round. But he's more motivated,

601
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 2: has experience here. And then I will tell you what.

602
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 2: And I say this all the time about Colin Marcowa

603
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: being one of the smartest young people, not just golfers,

604
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 2: but smartest young people I've ever sat and listened to.

605
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 2: But Tyler Strafaci, the reigning US Amateur champ, came into

606
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: the AUGUSTA National Interview room today and blew the doors off.

607
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 2: That kid's got some moxie, and that kid's got he's

608
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 2: an intelligent kid. I was very, very impressed, Like, forget

609
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 2: the golf game. I just want to go hang out

610
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 2: with the kid. I want to invest in the kid,

611
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: just whether he's going to play golf or do anything

612
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 2: else with his life. He was just a bright, solid

613
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 2: kid that you'd want to spend some time with.

614
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm delighted you had that experience in the in the

615
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: interview room. I am not investing in Tyler Stravaki this wait,

616
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That sounds great though. He seems like a

617
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: great kid.

618
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure six amateurs have made the cut here in

619
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: the last two years.

620
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I could see that and then make two

621
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: eagles or something like that. So yeah, seen some success

622
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: to flash here in the last few years. Diameters, I

623
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm going there. I'm going to go

624
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: with the guy with a little bit more of a

625
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: track record at augustin a national five starts, five made

626
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: cuts at AUGUSTA three hundred and fifty to one to

627
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: win this week. I don't have him to win. Maybe

628
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: I'd take a little bit and put a flyer on him,

629
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: but I like him top ten or top twenty. Bern

630
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: Visburger guys had a good consistent past here at Augusta

631
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: National he averages half a stroke per round and approach

632
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: worldwide this year between the PGA and European Tours, had

633
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: not had a ton of great finishes, but that approach

634
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: play has been solid, and he's got a good past

635
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: history here, so I think he's interesting. Another guy's kind

636
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: of interesting to me. You'd be surprised to believe the

637
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: man who led the field in strokeskan approach last fall

638
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: at the Masters, Danny Willett, which would be really surprising.

639
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: He was so bad off the tee though that he

640
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: it just didn't seem it didn't seem to matter, and

641
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: really threw a rinch or my strokeskan approach the statistics

642
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 1: over the last five or six years, Thanks Danny, But

643
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: now for real though, I mean, look, he had a

644
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: top ten finish a couple starts ago, didn't play well

645
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: in San Antonio, but he's had some glimpses of good

646
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: play here and I really like that strokes skan approach

647
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: number from last fall where he basically his playoff the

648
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: tee was bad. Everything else was pretty good to great,

649
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: and so if he can find a little bit of form,

650
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: there's some value there. I see him at two fifty

651
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: to one to win. I might take him to top

652
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: twenty for sure.

653
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not? I like that. So we're gonna get

654
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: to our DFS lineup that we do every week on

655
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 2: DraftKings in just a few minutes. But first we're gonna

656
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 2: do our five questions in five minutes.

657
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: Five minutes. Five questions you never asked.

658
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you.

659
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: I get a little irritated when somebody called me away

660
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: from my golf. This is five under question.

661
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 2: Number one, who is the only player to finish runner

662
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: up in a major championship to both Jack Nicholas and

663
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods.

664
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,479
Speaker 1: Tom Kai ninety seven Masters, he finished twelve back ye

665
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: on the beef light and then I don't remember off

666
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: the top of my head the one he may have

667
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: faced eighty six couple times to eighty six. Really, yeah,

668
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: there you go. Yeah, I always think eighty six. I

669
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: think a Seve and Norman, but I guess I was.

670
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: Sevie and Norman were up there. I think I think

671
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: Norman and Kite finished tied for second. Okay, it was

672
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 2: maybe one more further back. But yeah, I mean I got.

673
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: What I don't get swept. I didn't get swept off

674
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: the board. Fine, that was good. That was good.

675
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know. Is the tom Kite thing like

676
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: widely known. I just I was kind of like I

677
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: thought maybe then.

678
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't think so he's a Texas guy. I'm a

679
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: Texas guy. I just felt like, I don't know. I've

680
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: come across it in my day, you know, I don't

681
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: think everybody knows that. No.

682
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, enough with the stats, because you're gonna

683
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 2: win too many of those ones. Let's get through a

684
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: prediction and hopefully you can lose over the next ten years.

685
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 2: It's a nice easy question for you, who win the

686
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: most majors? Justin Thomas, John ram Rory, McElroy, Bryson, De Shambeau,

687
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: Colin Morrikawa or you can go off the board and

688
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 2: take what's behind door number six?

689
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: Is door number six everyone else combined?

690
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: No, No, it's like Charlie Woods.

691
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm just stalling. Wow, you know what I'll go. I'll

692
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: go with John Rom I'll say over the next ten years,

693
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: I'll say he you know, let's say he gets you

694
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: can see him getting four right, you know, maybe not

695
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: one of each, but I could see him getting a

696
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: couple Open championships. Now he can win anything. I don't

697
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: know why I'm trying to pick just one pick of retirement. Honestly,

698
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: you can't answer incorrectly. I don't think. I mean, odds

699
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: are right.

700
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: But we're going to run back and we're gonna be like,

701
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 2: you got it wrong, old man wrong.

702
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: I'll go with John Robb. There's no weaknesses in his game.

703
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: But you know, I picking Justin Thomas to get the

704
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: first one out of the group here this week.

705
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: So I'm imagine that you know what I'm picking wrong

706
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 2: to win. I might go JT over ten years, So

707
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 2: there you go. Yeah, whatever, So all right, let's get

708
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 2: into the fun stuff. Question number three. Let's pretend Augusta

709
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: National is divided into eighteen desert islands. Each of the holes.

710
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 2: You can only live on one of the desert islands

711
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 2: for the rest of the year. Which hole do you pick?

712
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: Which sandwich are you stocking it with? And which player

713
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 2: in this week's field is going to hang out with

714
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 2: you for the rest of the year. Are there?

715
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: I'll go with thirteen.

716
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 2: Okay, not a lot of real estate. I was sinking

717
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: the exact same thing, Like I feel it spirreling breezes

718
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 2: might be nice.

719
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm stocking it with. You know. The first time

720
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: I went there, I promised my grandfather I need a

721
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,239
Speaker 1: pimento cheese sandwich because he had never been out there

722
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: and it was just something that he wanted to experience.

723
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: That's the only one of those I'm ever going to

724
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: have in my life. I'm not gonna lie to you,

725
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: like not for me, you know, a part of the experience,

726
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go with the barbecue chicken sandwich.

727
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 2: Solid.

728
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty solid pick. I can eat.

729
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: I can eat. I'm like Dustin Johnson and that I

730
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: could probably eat sandwiches like as like eighty percent of

731
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: my meals just in general in life. So yeah, and

732
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: who I want to hang out with?

733
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 2: By the way, new on the menu this year and

734
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 2: I haven't tried it yet, but there's a chicken salad sandwich.

735
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: Oh okay, the menu all right, I mean you got

736
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: to give that a shot. Next time I'm there, I will,

737
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: and I'll pick my dude, max Oma. Max is in

738
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: the field this week Max's seems a good sense of humor.

739
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: Sports fan, we get a long you know, we'd argue

740
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: about the Dodgers and my incredibly hated Houston Astros, but

741
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 1: I think we could we could find some common ground.

742
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, so Max Homa thirteenthole barbecue check.

743
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 2: Max probably has his phone too, and he could tweet

744
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 2: about you guys being on the island and maybe come

745
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 2: get rescued.

746
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: So that's true. That's a good point.

747
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 2: That's fair. For the record, I'm probably going thirteen also,

748
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 2: egg salad and rory.

749
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: That's not bad. You can't go wrong there, all right.

750
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 2: Question number four, how much would you pay to play

751
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 2: around in augusta National? And the second part of this

752
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 2: question once that round was purchased, how much would it

753
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 2: take for you to sell the tea time before it happened?

754
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: So I'm o for lifetime in the media lottery, the

755
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: fame media lottery that every golf rider talks about. Yeah, life,

756
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: What would I pay for it? I'm not a rich guy.

757
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: Probably pay five grand?

758
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh wow, that's yeah, once.

759
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: In a lifetime type experience. I don't know if I'm

760
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: ever going to get it again. Okay, And then if

761
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: I could flip it for twice that I would.

762
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, that's okay, that's kind of what I was

763
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 2: looking for.

764
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, everyone's got a price. Yeah no, i'd sell it. Yeah.

765
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 2: Some people would say like no, man, once I got like,

766
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 2: I am not selling that. Everyone's got to put yourself.

767
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: Every struggling twenty four year old production assistant or studio

768
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 1: researcher in ESPN history has has considered selling that badge

769
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 1: when they get to Augustin Ashvital because they're scraping by

770
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: with their studio apartment. Right, So I put myself in

771
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: those shoes as the kid who worked at foot locker

772
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: when he was in college, and yeah, I definitely flipped

773
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: it for double.

774
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 2: Quick story for you. This was three years ago. I

775
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 2: played in two thousand and five, my first year covering

776
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 2: the Masters. About three years ago I was back in

777
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 2: the media lottery. It takes seven years until you can

778
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 2: get back in after you've played, so I've been back

779
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 2: in for a handful of years. And uh, three years ago.

780
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 2: I walk in on I believe Saturday morning, and I

781
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 2: look up on the board with all the names that

782
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 2: have been selected, and I see there it is Jason

783
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 2: probol p r O b E L. I turned to

784
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 2: the communications director here at Agusta National, who's an old

785
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 2: buddy of mine, and I said, I assume that's me,

786
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: but it's just a type out and he looks and

787
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 2: he laughs and he goes, yeah, I'm sure it is. Congratulations.

788
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 2: Just go check with Martha at the desk, and you know,

789
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 2: she'll take care of it. And I go up to

790
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 2: this nice older lady and I said, you know, my

791
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 2: name's Jason Sobel. There's a name on there, Jason Probl.

792
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 2: I assume that's me. Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, honey.

793
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 2: Let me check that out for you. She goes down

794
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 2: this list. She looks up at me. Oh dear, I'm

795
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 2: so sorry. It's Jason Probl from West Palm Beach NBC

796
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 2: affiliate TV. I'm like, you're kidding odds. He's like, no,

797
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding about this.

798
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay.

799
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 2: So the end of the story, the PostScript to it

800
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 2: is I tweeted it out and people are giving me

801
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 2: condolences like a family member just died. I'm like, look,

802
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 2: it's a funny story. I never had it. It wasn't

803
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 2: taken away from me. Uh So this guy wonted. This

804
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 2: guy had gone home. He only covered it for the

805
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: weekday rounds. He had gone home, back to Palm Beach

806
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 2: or wherever he was from. He saw it on Twitter.

807
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 2: He hopped in his car, he drove back here. He

808
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 2: played with a buddy of mine and apparently shot one

809
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety three out here.

810
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: You're helping you. Look. First, you could think about, oh

811
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: my god, I gave away my opportunity again or something

812
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: like that. But no, I gave this person once in

813
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: a lifetime experience they were never going to have again. Period.

814
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: He helped me that Twitter helping people.

815
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 2: He wo for the round. All right, let's get to

816
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 2: question number five, which has a lot of parts to it.

817
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 2: Last week, you gave me a question about five other

818
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 2: players being ranked above or below Ricky Fowler in the

819
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 2: official World Golf Ranking, and I just what I do. Oh,

820
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 2: that's right, I went five for five. That's right.

821
00:37:58,680 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: You swept it.

822
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's seew you can do. Rory McElroy has made

823
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 2: just over two point five million dollars in career earnings

824
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 2: at the Masters. Have the following players made more or less?

825
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 2: And just for the sake of continued continuation.

826
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: I will start with Ricky Fowler two point five million,

827
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: So Ricky probably he would have got almost half that

828
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: for his runner up finish, but I will still say

829
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: I'll still say less.

830
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 2: Ricky has made less. You're one for one, okay, all right,

831
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 2: we're on the point four million for Ricky n I

832
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 2: figured to be close and it was very close.

833
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. People always talk about what the winner gets,

834
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: but you go two, three, four for those guys get

835
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: a ton of money too.

836
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, all right, let's see, by the way, if

837
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 2: you go five for five and tie this up over

838
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 2: two weeks, this is pretty amazing, all right. Number two,

839
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 2: Justin Rose more, Justin Rose has made meant much more

840
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: three point seven million dollars, just a ton of really

841
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: two points. Yeah, Fred Couples.

842
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: This is a good one man. So Freddy one, he

843
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't have got a million to win, you know, have

844
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: been significantly less probably, but he has so many high

845
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: finishes over the years. I will say slightly less.

846
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 2: Oh man, Fred Couples has made two point seven million.

847
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't egregious, but it wasn't egregious.

848
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 2: But trying to get in your head and see where

849
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: the game is over all, right on base with the

850
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,439
Speaker 2: bunt single number four.

851
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: Paul Casey, I'll say less.

852
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 2: I leave Casey has five top tens, but Casey is

853
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 2: still less two points okay, all right, and the last

854
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 2: one so you can get to four for five, which

855
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 2: is pretty damn good.

856
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: Ernie Els this is a good one too, you know,

857
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: I think of I think of Ernie having he had

858
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: close calls at the Masters. But I'm gonna say less.

859
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 2: Rory McElroy has made two point five million and Augusta

860
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,959
Speaker 2: Ernie l two point four to eight.

861
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: Ah, all right, winner combined nine for ten over two weeks.

862
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 2: That's really good. That is impressive, So I mean well done.

863
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, impressive, but probably not for the best. No, no,

864
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: in terms of general just you know, social abilities and.

865
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 2: No, we both need to get out more. Is basically

866
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 2: what that comes down to. By the way, we're going

867
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 2: to work on it here before we move on. We

868
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: want to show some appreciation for one of life's greatest pleasures, beer,

869
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 2: more specifically drinking beer, because just like the Masters, spending

870
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 2: a beautiful spring weekend drinking dozens of beers is truly

871
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 2: a tradition unlike any other. But it can't slip on

872
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 2: the green jacket of life, getting wasted before happy hour.

873
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 2: And that's where our friends at Athletic Brewing come in

874
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 2: because for years now, Athletic Brewing has been making some

875
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 2: of the most flavorful craft beers money can buy, but

876
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 2: without the alcohol. So if you're thinking of taking it

877
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 2: easy on the booze the spring to keep your ball

Speaker 2: get to our DFS lineup this week. And by the way,

888
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 2: there are so many contests out there you can win

889
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 2: crypto punks this week. I mean, it's just you just.

890
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: Made me feel like I was sixty five thousand years old.

891
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is.

892
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 2: I realize this is like talking about your ex girlfriend

893
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 2: to your current girlfriend. But Peter Jennings, my former pod partner,

894
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 2: Peter Jennings loves John Rahm. He was telling me about

895
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: NBA Top Shot here on the podcast before anyone knew

896
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 2: what top Shot was. Then it blew up. And so

897
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 2: he is all into the crypto punks, although maybe that

898
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 2: was last week and this week he's into virtual horses.

899
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of stuff going on in the

900
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 2: virtual NFT world. In any case, you can make lineups

901
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 2: and win stuff.

902
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: So we want to be a DFS millionaire. You're just

903
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 1: one lineup away. We're gonna go nose to nose with him,

904
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: and you're gonna play better than you ever dreamed of. God,

905
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: God damn it, that's what I have made of you.

906
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: So let's get drafting.

907
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 2: First pick.

908
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 1: All right, I'll go off the board. Ninety four hundred

909
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 1: for this guy coming off the win last week, seems

910
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: like a total steal. I mentioned all the great superlatives

911
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: for Jordan Speed. I think ninety four hundred you have

912
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: to absolutely draft him. They clearly evaluated him a few

913
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: weeks ago and not after his victory. So ninety four

914
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: hundred for Speed to start our team. I like it.

915
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 2: If you're taking a stud, I'm taking a stud. I

916
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 2: think that John Ram will be fairly highly owned. But

917
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 2: maybe that price just kind of keeps people away a

918
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 2: little bit, just because there are so many big stars.

919
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you could say, well, I'll get JT and

920
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 2: Xander and Jordan. So I'm not going to take John

921
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 2: Rahm because he's a little bit more so at eleven thousand.

922
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 2: He is my favorite pick to win, and I'm taking

923
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 2: John Rahm. I think there's a lot of value further

924
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 2: down the board that we can attack later.

925
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: I'm with you one hundred percent. This next guy is

926
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: somebody I don't think we mentioned on this podcast, but

927
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: there is one player who has made the cut at

928
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: the Masters every year since twenty ten. Oh wait, wait,

929
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: I won't say it. Yeah, every year since twenty ten

930
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: he has made the cut.

931
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 2: Only Oh I think I only know this because I've

932
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 2: seen some of your your stuff out there. I've seen

933
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 2: one of your mentions Louis Ustasen.

934
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: Incorrect, but Louis is priced one hundred dollars cheaper than

935
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: mister Adam Scott. Seventy six hundred for Adam Scott, a

936
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: guy who at this point, I don't put a ton

937
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: of stock in what he does in the events leading

938
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: up to major championships, because he's even verbally stick that

939
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: he basically gears up for these bigger events. And I

940
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: think that, you know a guy with his course history here,

941
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: only Rory McElroy has more rounds in the sixties. Since

942
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: I think it's twenty ten at the Masters, and the

943
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: Scott does, like I said, made the cut every year

944
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: since twenty ten. Seventy six hundred seems like a great

945
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: value for Adam Scott.

946
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does. There are a lot of really good value.

947
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 2: There are a lot of guys you're gonna look at

948
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 2: this week and go, how can I get him for

949
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 2: that price? That sounds great? And so they're doing that

950
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: so that everyone will start chasing these guys a little

951
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 2: further down the board. I'm gonna do it again at

952
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 2: a similar price, just one hundred dollars more. Paul Casey

953
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 2: talked all about how much I like him. This week

954
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 2: he will be in a lot of my lineup. Seventy

955
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 2: seven hundred.

956
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: Okaye, we have fourteen to three left, seventy one to

957
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: fifty per player. Let's scan down. How about a guy

958
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 1: who we have talked about. One of the best iron

959
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: players on the PGA Tour the last couple of years.

960
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: Hasn't flashed yet in a major championship, but I think

961
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: he's a tremendous value on this golf course. Corey Connors

962
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,919
Speaker 1: sixty nine hundred, I think is a really good price

963
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: for him. I think can come out here and make

964
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: a lot of birdies, get you a lot of fantasy points,

965
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 1: and that leaves you with seventy four hundred in the

966
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: bank for the last pick.

967
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 2: I had a feeling you were going Connors. I almost

968
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 2: wont Connors with the last one, so I like that

969
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 2: play in there. Two guys, one of them I mentioned

970
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 2: one of them. I didn't mention, But give me your

971
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: perspective on Abraham answer or will Zlatoris answer.

972
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: Of course, had a great week at the Masters last year,

973
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: or had a bad final round to put together? Not

974
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: bad final. I think he faded maybe late on the

975
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: back nine, second nine, but had a really good week.

976
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: This isn't a golf course where you have to be

977
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: super long, which helps Abraham answer his iron play. I

978
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: think was in much better shape at this point last

979
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: year than this year than last This is al Taurus's

980
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: debut at the Masters, right, he didn't play in the Fall,

981
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: his first one. I've been so high on Will the

982
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: last couple of months. I'm gonna go with the guy

983
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: who had the reps beforehand. I would pick Answer, but

984
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: just slightly over him. But I'm not gonna be mad.

985
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 2: If you go with Will z altoor Yeah, I'll go

986
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 2: Answer here. I do have a lot of Zaladurus as well,

987
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 2: but I certainly don't mind Abraham answer. I never mind

988
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 2: take an Abraham answer. He's one of my favorite players

989
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 2: to pick in lineup, especially in DFS. So Abraham Answer,

990
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 2: Paul Casey, Corey Connors, John Ron, Adam Scott, and Jordan

991
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: Speith is a lineup. I really like that. By the way,

992
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 2: You're not gonna have a lineup this week that you

993
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 2: don't like. We said that about the Players Championship as well.

994
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 2: But you're just not going to put together a lineup

995
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 2: for the Masters this week and go, oh, that one sucks,

996
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 2: that's not gonna win. You're gonna look at it and go, ah,

997
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 2: can't lose. I'm gonna put this in the ten dollars

998
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 2: one fifty max with four hundred and eighty thousand other people.

999
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 2: I got this one.

1000
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be like searching for like something. Man,

1001
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to buy Larry Miz, but he's my

1002
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: best option here at the bottom of the board. Like,

1003
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: there's too many great combinations for you to come up

1004
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: with going into the week. You know, It's just I'm

1005
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: with you. There's so many different ways that you can

1006
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: come up with a lineup that you're gonna be super

1007
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 1: confident about going into it. And I feel that way

1008
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: about this one. I don't know about you.

1009
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so as well. So before we go,

1010
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,439
Speaker 2: a couple of reminders. The Network podcast will have its

Speaker 2: beloved WWE WrestleMania gambling preview later this week. I got

1012
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:12,200

00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 2: hated guy in golf.

1023
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: I'm more of an Andre the Giant guy than hul Cogan. Yeah,

1024
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: mainly for the tales about his drinking prowess, which are

1025
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: just absolutely unbelievable. There's a really cool documentary about him

1026
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: on HBO. But you know, I'm fascinated by enormous people.

1027
