00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Betting pros PGA Podcast presented by DraftKings.

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 2: I'm Pat Fitzmorris here with Bau McBrayer.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: It's Masters Week, the first major of the year is

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: arguably the best major of the year, and today we

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: will give you a full betting preview of the Masters

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: Bow and I will let you know who we're betting.

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 1: We'll make our one and done picks at the end

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: of the show. We'll also do a very quick recap

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: of the Valero Texas Open. In fact, let's cover the

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: Valero right off the bat bow. Not a very interesting tournament.

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: Brian Harmon wins the Valero Texas Open, finishing nine under par.

12
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: Harmon raced out to an early lead by shooting sixty

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: six in each of his first two rounds. Then the

14
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: win picked up on the weekend and Harmon hung on.

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: He shot a sporty seventy two Saturday in the blustery conditions.

16
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: He shot a three over par seventy five on Sunday,

17
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: but still won by three shots over Ryan Girard and

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: Maverick McNeely. No one ever seriously threatened Harmon on the weekend.

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: Gerard surged into second place on the strength of a

20
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: final day sixty nine. He was one of only three

21
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: players to break seventy in the difficult scoring conditions. On

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: Sunday at TPC San Antonio, Maverick McNeely was steady eddie

23
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: rounds of sixty eight, seventy two, seventy one and seventy two.

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: MAV is still on the come up, and I think

25
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: it's worth remembering how solidly he blamed the windy conditions

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: over the weekend. I'm not sure what else to say

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: about the Valero Texas Open Bow. It was kind of

28
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: a tough watch. Honestly. Brian Harmon is, let's generously call

29
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: him deliberate as a player. There's some great songs that

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: are shorter than Brian Harmon's pre shot routine.

31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: There's some tool songs that are shorter than his pre

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 3: shot routine.

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: The bigger names in the field, Jordan Speith, Patrick Cantley,

34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Corey Connors just sort of lurked around and never made

35
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: a serious run at Harmon got anything profound to say

36
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: about the Valero Texas Open Bow.

37
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: I kind of laid it out last week. It's not

38
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: a remarkable golf course. It's not usually a remarkable tournament.

39
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: It's more of a tune up than anything, unless your

40
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: name is Brian Harmon, who we actually time on a

41
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 3: sun dial. There are because of global warming, glaciers actually

42
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: move faster than he does now. It was fine for

43
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 3: me because what I did bet were some placement bets.

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 3: I had three guys in the top five, so that

45
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: was nice. But not getting an outright when there. It's

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 3: not that into the world there because we are all

47
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 3: kind of anticipating this week the Valero Texas Open. Afterthought

48
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: already out of my memory. Moving on, I don't want

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: to talk about Brian Harmon anymore than I have to.

50
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, just sort of a dull event.

51
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: And you know, we talked about TPC San Antonio not

52
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: being a very exciting venue, although the wind gave it

53
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 1: some teeth. I would much rather talk about Augustin National

54
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: And we will turn to the masters in just a moment.

64
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the masters, and we have to start

65
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: with Augusta National, the shangri La of American golf. It's

66
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: in the northeastern part of Georgia, near the border with

67
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: South Carolina. It's a par seventy two measuring seven five

68
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five yards. It plays longer than its

69
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: yardage because of all the elevation changes. I've been lucky

70
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: enough to visit Augusta National. I don't think TV adequately

71
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: captures those elevation changes. Maybe you get a sense of

72
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: it when you see players on the tenth t looking

73
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: down that ski slope of a fairway fairway that drops

74
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: more than one hundred feet off the tee. It's the

75
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: uphill climbs that you don't always get a sense of

76
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: when you're watching on television. Because of the rolling terrain,

77
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: Augusta National constantly challenges players with uneven lies, much more

78
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: so than I think at any other tour venue. Congratulations

79
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: on putting your drive in the fairway. Now try to

80
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: hit a high fade with a five iron from a

81
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: hook with the ball a hook lie with the ball

82
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: above your feet like that is a challenge players often

83
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: have to face on the par five to thirteenth hole,

84
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: or they look toward the green, you know all the

85
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: azaleas in bloom behind the back bunkers, and you know

86
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: they've got that tough lie. Or they might have to

87
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 1: hit an approach shot off a downslope to an elevated green.

88
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: That's the challenge of number nine, a very underrated par

89
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: four it Augusta. Shot shaping very important. There are some

90
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: t shots where you're asked to work the ball from

91
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: right to left, as on the thirteenth hall, where you

92
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: want to avoid that stand of pine trees on the

93
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: right side in order to have a go at the

94
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: green in two. There are a lot of times when

95
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: players will want to work the ball from left to right. Now,

96
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: the fairways are generally pretty wide at Augusta National, and

97
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: the rough range is from light to nonexistent. The big

98
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: hitters do have an advantage here. Distance helps conquer the

99
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: power fives and gives players an edge on some of

100
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: the tougher par fours. Holes number ten and eleven jump

101
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: to mind. But you don't need to be a big

102
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: hitter to win the Masters, especially if conditions are firm

103
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: and fast. We've seen bunters like Mike Weir and Zach

104
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: Johnson wing green jackets. Now I mentioned the fairways are

105
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: generally wide. There are some exceptions, no question, notably the

106
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: t shot on the eighteenth hole that has to be

107
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: one of the most terrifying t shots players will hit

108
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: all year, with its narrow shoot between the trees to

109
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: an uphill fairway. They're well placed bunkers all over the course.

110
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: The only hole that doesn't have any bunkers is the

111
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: par four fourteenth. Greenside bunkers aren't necessarily the worst place

112
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: to be in many instances, but the fairway bunkers that

113
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: Augusta can be pretty punishing. They're deep, and the sand

114
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: at Augusta is soft. Can be pretty difficult to flush

115
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: the ball out of a fairway bunker. And then bo

116
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: there are the greens. Their bent grass and they are

117
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: blazing fast. They're the toughest greens players are going to

118
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: face all year. Augusta Nationals greens are big and undulating,

119
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: with all sorts of complicated slopes. Puts can break severely

120
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: if you don't put your shot in the right spot

121
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: on the green. They're gonna be instances this week where

122
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: players are actually hitting their putts away from the hole

123
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: at more than one hundred and eighty degrees. They're gonna

124
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: be three putts galore. There'll be some four, maybe even

125
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: five putts. Ernie Elle's famously six putted the first hole

126
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: from only three feet away in twenty sixteen. The greens

127
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: just they make shot placements so critical. Stay below the

128
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: hole and you'll be in great shape. Miss your target

129
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: and end up above the hole, good luck to you.

130
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: But the undulations of the Augusta greens can actually be

131
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: friendly to players. Some greens will funnel well play shots

132
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: toward the hole, setting up short birdie puts. You'll see

133
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: that on the tiered eighteenth green, for instance. Players use

134
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: the backboard for a little spin down to the hole

135
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: when the pin is in the front of the green.

136
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: We'll see it so on the sixteenth hole with that

137
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: tricky left side pin placement on the lowest part of

138
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: the green, and memorably we saw it on the par

139
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: five second hole in twenty twelve, when Louis Ustasen landed

140
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: his second shot on the front of the green and

141
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: let it chase some eighty feet to the back right

142
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: part of the green, it dropped in for a double eagle.

143
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: That was the year Usti lost a playoff to Bubba Watson.

144
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: It's very helpful to have experience with these greens. It's

145
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: a big reason why it's rare for first timers to

146
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: contend a at Gosten, why we see some of the

147
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: same names on the leaderboard year after year. Ludwig Oberg

148
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: was kind of an exception last year, finishing second in

149
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: his Maden voyage at the Masters. You have to score

150
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: well on the par fives here, no question about it.

151
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: They are all very reachable in two. The thirteenth of

152
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: the fifteenth holes are especially famous. I've talked about the thirteenth,

153
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: which is five hundred and forty five yards and technically

154
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: the easiest hole in the course as far as scoring average.

155
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: Then there's the fifteenth.

156
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: It's five hundred and fifty yards with a generous fair way,

157
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: but you have to carry a pond with your approach

158
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: shot miss long and then you have a difficult chip

159
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: back with the green funneling balls toward that front pond.

160
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: The front nine par fives number two and number eight

161
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: are underrated gems. Number two presents a downhill approach shot

162
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: to that crazy triangular green. Number eight gives you a

163
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: blind uphill approach to a green guarded by mounds on

164
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: either side, and negotiating the part threes is pretty critical too.

165
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: The back nine has the famous twelfth hole, maybe the

166
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: best and most difficult short part three in the world.

167
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: It's only one hundred and fifty five yards to a

168
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: long but extremely shallow green. You have to clear Rays Creek,

169
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: and there's a steep embankment on the far side of

170
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: the creek that will bat balls back into the water.

171
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: The wind is extremely hard to judge on the twelfth hole,

172
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: and Jordan Speith came to the twelfth with a five

173
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: shot lead in the final round in twenty sixteen. His

174
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: t shot hit the bank on the far side of

175
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: Rays Creek and bounce back into the water. He hit

176
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: his third shot fat from the drop area into the

177
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: creek again. He sailed his fifth shot into the back bunker.

178
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: Speeth took a quadruple bogie seven on the twelfth he

179
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: lost to Danny Willett by three shots after leading by

180
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: five with seven holes to play. Then there's the fame

181
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: sixteenth hole with the pond in front of the hole

182
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: into the left. It's this is the hole where Tiger

183
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: Woods had the famous chip in during his duel with

184
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: Chris DeMarco in two thousand and five. And the power

185
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: threes on the front nine both play downhill. Number four

186
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: is a two hundred and forty yard monster. You need

187
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: to hit a great long iron to get the ball

188
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: close to the hole. Number six is one hundred and

189
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: eighty yards to one of the trickier greens on the course.

190
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: And let's not leave out the par fours. The tenth

191
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: and the eleventh holes are both long downhill dog legs.

192
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: Number ten it's the hardest hole on the course by

193
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: scoring average. Number eleven second hardest hole on the course.

194
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: Number fourteen and number seventeen don't appear to be that

195
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: complicated until you get to the greens. The fourteenth and

196
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: seventeenth greens are both labby Corinthian. They might be the

197
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: two toughest greens on the course. We talked about the

198
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: eighteenth hole with its narrow, little shoot off the tee

199
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: and its uphill approach to a tiered green front. Nine

200
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: power fours are excellent too. I love number three. It's

201
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: only three hundred and sixty yards, but it's another hole

202
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: with a demanding green. Putting your wedge in the right

203
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: spot is critical. Also a big fan of the four

204
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety five yard fifth hole with its big,

205
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: bumpy green bottom line. There is not a single pushover

206
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: hole at Augusta National. Every hole can yield a bow

207
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: gear worse if you play it sloppily, but not any

208
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: hole at Augusta is unconquerable. Like every hole here will

209
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: yield a birdie or even an eagle if you play

210
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: it artfully. The weather forecast for Augusta, Georgia this week

211
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: pretty ideal, temperatures ranging from the low sixties to the

212
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: mid seventies, no rain in the forecast, wins of five

213
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: to ten miles an hour, maybe a little breezier than

214
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: that on Friday. Not enough wind to really punish the players,

215
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: but enough to challenged them now. Scotti Scheffler is the

216
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: defending champion. He finished eleven under par last year, four

217
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: shots better than Ludwig Oberg. It was Scotty's second win

218
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: at the Masters. He also won in twenty two twenty

219
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: twenty two, finishing minus ten and beating Rory McElroy by

220
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: three shots. John Ram won in twenty twenty three. He

221
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: was twelve under, four shots clear of Phil Mickelson and

222
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: Brooks Koepka. Haadeki Matsuiama won in twenty twenty one. He

223
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: finished minus ten to beat will Zalatoris by one stroke,

224
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: and Dustin Johnson won the twenty twenty Masters, which was

225
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: played in the fall that year due to COVID. DJ

226
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: went twenty under par to win by five shots. I

227
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: love this course, bo sprinkle my ashes here when I'm gone.

228
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on augustin Nashal.

229
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: It's just it's perfect. It's perfect in every way. There's

230
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 3: not a blade of grass out of place. The hills

231
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:56,119
Speaker 3: are unruly, the lies are uneven, the golf is somehow

232
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 3: still incredibly fair. Good shots are rewarded with opportunities, and

233
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 3: bad shots are swatted away with draconian consequences. That's what

234
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 3: golf should be about. This is the measuring stick. This

235
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: is the barometer for all championship golfers. If you're in

236
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: this field, you want to be able to hold yourself

237
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: up to that standard of how did I do at

238
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 3: the Masters When the field is the strongest, it's the

239
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 3: most concentrated at the top. Every top golfer is here,

240
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: and every top golfer who's conquered Augusta in the past

241
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: that's able to is here. That's what is The majesty

242
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: of this tournament is unmistakable. It's unparalleled. You cannot beat

243
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: to the Masters in any way, shape or form. And

244
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: as for Gary Player who says it's not even in

245
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 3: his top fifty golf courses, hogwash. This is the best

246
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 3: golf course in the world. Maybe not the most famous,

247
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: it's up there in fame too, but it's the best

248
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: golf course in the world. And it's also the most exclusive.

249
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 3: It has the mystique, it has the allure, and it's like,

250
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: how often does a golfer want to venture into the

251
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: woods for an experience like that? Well, here you go,

252
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: tucked back into the woods is the crown jewel of

253
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 3: championship golf. And it's just it's just the best. It's perfect.

254
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: Augusta National not open to the public, but I would

255
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: pay far more money than I could reasonably afford to

256
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: play around at Augusta National.

257
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: I would sell my house right now to play it

258
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 3: at one time.

259
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: It is that magical a place. Care to guess at

260
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: a winning score this week ball.

261
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 3: The weather is going to be mild and gettable, so

262
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: it's probably going to be between fifteen and eighteen under part.

263
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 3: A little bit more favorable scoring conditions this year, not

264
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 3: quite as favorable as it was when it was softened

265
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: in November of twenty twenty during the pandemic. But I

266
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: do think that the field strength, how well the golfers

267
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 3: are playing coming in, and with the way we've seen

268
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 3: scoring trending is going low. So fifteen to eighteen under

269
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: part most likely.

270
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to go a little a little higher than

271
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: you for winning score BO as far as well, not

272
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: quite as high relative to under par. I'm gonna say

273
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: minus twelve, minus thirteen. I think firm, Yeah, firm and

274
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: fast conditions. I think could could trick it up a little. Granted,

275
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: there's not going to be a lot of wind and

276
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: the greens aren't going to be soft, but I without

277
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: the soft greens.

278
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 3: Oh it's brutally difficult. And so yeah, if you hear

279
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: anybody say that they could break eighty at Augusta their life. Yeah,

280
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 3: or they're delusional, or they're both. It's it's just who

281
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 3: are they lying to?

282
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 4: You?

283
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 3: Are themselves? This course is absolutely disgusting for an amateur

284
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: to even think about it.

285
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, with a masters setup, if you are a scratch golfer,

286
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't think you're breaking eighty quite honestly, No.

287
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 3: Chance, No chance, maybe ninety.

288
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: Now the battle for the jacket is heating up in Augusta,

289
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: and there is no better place to sweat the action

290
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: than DraftKings Daily Fantasy, the ultimate destination fantasy golf fans,

291

295
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: lineup while staying under the salary cap, then sit back

00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: and watches your player's rack up points, every birdie, every bogie,

297
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: every clutch pot, feel the intensity of every shot. I

298
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: talked about wanting to get Patrick Reid into my Draft

299
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: Kings DFS lineups last week. Bo I do indeed think

300
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: he's value priced at seventy three hundred, another bargain.

301
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 2: Price to live to her player. How about Sergio Garcia.

302
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: He's only seventy one hundred, He's been playing well, and

303
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: he loves this course. Sergio is a green jacket in

304
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: his closet. I'm torn between Scotti, Scheffler and Rory McElroy

305
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: as my anchor player, leaning a little toward the slightly

306
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: less expensive Rory. Does anyone stand out to you as

307
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: an especially good Draft Kings DFS play at the Masters Bow.

308
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 3: I'll give you a couple at the top as my anchor.

309
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 3: I'm going to sue the top two guys completely because

310
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: the number three golfer in the world behind Scotty and

311
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 3: Rory is Xander Schoffley, and he's going for sub ten

312
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: k on DraftKings at ninety seven hundred. He's got four

313
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 3: top tens in his last five years at the Masters.

314
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm going to take the easy value with

315
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: Xander Schaffley there and right in that same range where

316
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 3: you're finding Patrick Reid. I love that pick. But how

317
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 3: about a guy who's averaging eighty DraftKings points a week

318
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 3: this season, Sepstrack at seventy six hundred. That's a great

319
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 3: value one of the best approach players with short game

320
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: that we have in this field, and he just seems

321
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: to He seems to do well when the conditions get tough.

322
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,680

00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: four thousand. Let's talk about this GROUPO, how do you

353
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: feel about Scotty at plus four hundred and Rory at

354
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: plus six fifty and do any of the other players

355
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: stand out to you?

356
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 3: This is a horse for course type of course. And

357
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 3: that being said, I see two green jackets in Scotti

358
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: Scheffler's closet and zero in Rory McElroy's. Twenty eleven was

359
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: the year they had the big lead in completly fell

360
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: apart on Sunday. Ever since then, Rory McElroy has been

361
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 3: cursed at Augusta National. And yes he is the only

362
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 3: multiple time winner on tour this season, I still think

363
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: he's cursed. I still think that these odds are an

364
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 3: insult to bookmaking because it's just a bunch of suckers

365
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 3: like us out there wanting to ride that Rory wave.

366
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 3: And yes it was very tempting, but to get the

367
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 3: number three ranked golfer in the world at plus eighteen

368
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 3: hundred is ludicrous. Xanderschoffley is a better track record at

369
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 3: Augusta National than Rory does. He's playing decently well for

370
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: coming off an injury earlier this season, and I think

371
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 3: as far as it goes, he's a better horse for

372
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 3: this course than is Rory McElroy. I'm probably gonna withhold

373
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 3: my Scottie Scheffler betting unless I get a double digit

374
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 3: odds type of live bet setup where he's still within

375
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 3: striking distance with enough holes to play to catch up

376
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 3: and make that bet worth it. But I'm starting my

377
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: outright card with Xanderschoff, and I'm going to run right

378
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 3: into Ludwig Oberg at plus two thousand. Shaffley is the

379
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 3: longest odds I could ever predict, because I handicapped him

380
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: at plus eight hundred. So getting an extra ten to

381
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 3: one odds for a guy that's number three in the

382
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 3: world and a multiple major winner last year, defending PGA champion,

383
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 3: defending champion Golf of the Year last year, and we're

384
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 3: going to talk about this guy being rolled over into

385
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 3: plus eighteen hundred territory. It's ludicrous. And on the same token,

386
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 3: I'm betting Ludwig Oberg at the absolute shortest odds I

387
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 3: would bet him at at plus two thousand. That's just

388
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 3: because his upside is unmistakable. This guy has more of

389
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 3: a killer instinct than you they would ever imagine. He's

390
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: got a lot more brooks kept cut under the hood

391
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 3: than he does. Somebody meek and mild like his outside

392
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 3: persona very cheerful, very very calm and collected, but that

393
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,479
Speaker 3: dude is an ice cold killer under the surface. Like

394
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 3: brooks Kepi. He's a big game hunter and he's got

395
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: the upside that could run away with the Masters tournament

396
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 3: like he almost did last year. He almost ran down

397
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: Scotty Shuffler last year until he dunked one on eleven.

398
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 3: And that is why I think that he could make

399
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 3: a Tiger esque run at a Masters in his career

400
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: where he just dominates the field by double digit strokes.

401
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 3: Lud Vic Oberg has that in his range of outcomes.

402
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody outside of Scotty has that.

403
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: So few players making their debut at Augusta seriously contend.

404
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: You have to pay attention when a player making his

405
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: debut finishes second. Solow second, and he was so calm

406
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: last year, bo Like, he looked like he was having

407
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: fun out there. Oberg has missed the cut in his

408
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: last two events, though, like I can't think of the

409
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: last time a player missed a cut in his last

410
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: event before the Masters and won the green jacket. That's

411
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: the only thing that scares me. I'm with you on

412
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: everything else with him. Xander top ten at the Masters

413
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: three of the last four years, hasn't quite gotten into

414
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: the groove yet. In twenty twenty five, he had the

415
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: slow start, but you know, would it really be to

416
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: see him turn it on this week?

417
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: And of course he plays well.

418
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: And yeah, Scotty obviously has the strong recent track record

419
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: of the Masters. But Scotty hasn't won in six starts

420
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: this year.

421
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: Bo.

422
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: He's a runner up in Houston a few weeks ago,

423
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: but he's only been top ten and three of his

424
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: six events.

425
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 3: Oh how tragic.

426
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's.

427
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 3: You know, like obviously the comedy of airs with Scotty Scheffler.

428
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 3: We can't expect him to win out of six tournaments.

429
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 3: What has he turned into?

430
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

431
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: Grading on a curve, I guess we're giving Scotty a

432
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: C minus this season, but for anyone else that would

433
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: be an A minus. I'm going to follow the patented

434
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: bow mcbarar strategy for betting Scotty Scheffler. I'm not playing

435
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: him at plus four hundred against such a loaded field,

436
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: a field that now includes all the studs from the

437
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: Live Tour. But I'm looking for opportunities where Scotty's odds drifts.

438
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: Maybe double Bogie's one of his first couple of holes,

439
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: or maybe another player jumps out to a multi shot

440
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: lead and all of a sudden, Scotty goes to plus

441
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: eight hundred. That's where I might look to pounce on

442
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: a Scotty outright. I'm with young Rory bo like very

443
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: sharp this year, wins at Pebble Beach in the Players Championship,

444
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: and man, you'd think he'd have at least one green

445
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: jacket by now. But ever since that faithful Sunday and

446
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: twenty eleven when a twenty one year old Rory McElroy

447
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: took a five shot lead into the final round and

448
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: shot eighty that day, it has been one tail of

449
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: ball after another for Rory at augusta runner up in

450
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, but he's missed the cut in two

451
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: of his last four Masters twenty second last year. He

452
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: could absolutely win this week, and I'd love to see it.

453
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: Not eager to jump on him at plus six fifty.

454
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: What about Ram at plus thirteen hundred bow He's won

455
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: the Masters, hasn't won on the Live Tour yet this year,

456
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: but he's played pretty well a lot of top tens.

457
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: It's got that great combination of power off the tee

458
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: and touch around the greens. Do you think there's any

459
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: value at plus thirteen hundred.

460
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 3: He's a tricky one because as well as he's played,

461
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 3: I haven't seen the peak form that we saw when

462
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 3: he won the Masters a couple of years ago. So

463
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 3: probably not gonna bet John Ram here unless he slips

464
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 3: to more of a fifteen to sixteen number. It's still

465
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 3: all of these guys up here have very high likelihood

466
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 3: of winning or chasing that top of the leaderboard this week.

467
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 3: Wouldn't surprise me at Algy at Ram at double digits

468
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 3: and be happy about it. I'm just not as excited

469
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,959
Speaker 3: as some people are about him, because again, we haven't

470
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 3: seen him really have that killer instinct that he showed

471
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago at Augusta to win. I

472
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 3: just don't. I don't see the win here. I don't

473
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 3: see the hunger it's required to win here this year.

474
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 3: This field is loaded, and I just want to see

475
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 3: that fire come back to John Ram. He's a Spaniard

476
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 3: for Gord's sake. We gotta see that fire comeback so

477
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 3: we can be eating pie at the Champions dinner next year.

478
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 2: How about Colin Morikawa?

479
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: Say odds as Xander Schaffley plus eighteen hundred not always

480
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: great with the putter, but he is an elite ball striker.

481
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: He's finished top ten at Augusta in each of the

482
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: last three years, including a third last year, and he's

483
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: been playing well this year. What do you think about

484
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: the value on Morikawa.

485
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 3: That's another guy that's been bet up a lot this

486
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: week because of his ball striking prowess, not just putting,

487
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 3: but clutch. Does he have the clutch gene? Does he

488
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 3: have the killer instinct that we've seen from other winners

489
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 3: calin more Kawa hasn't won since he won the US

490
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 3: Open a few years ago. He hasn't won in two years.

491
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 3: And this is a world class player, top ten in

492
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 3: the world, one of the best ball strikers, iron players

493
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 3: in the world. You have to be able to putt,

494
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 3: you have to be able to make birdie putts, you

495
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 3: have to be able to salvage two putts on Augusta

496
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 3: National and that's what's held calling back and the tale

497
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 3: of two guys who both dunked their approach shots on

498
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 3: number eleven last year down the stretch trying to chase

499
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 3: down Scotti Scheffler lud Vig Oeberg dunked it on eleven

500
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 3: and smiled a rise smile to his caddy saying, well,

501
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: I guess that's it, folks, and he kept playing. Calin

502
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: more Kawa done his approach on eleven. It looked like

503
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 3: he shut down completely, absolutely devastated. You could see his

504
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 3: entire like focus cracked. It crumbled, like he crumbled like

505
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 3: a cracker, like a like a chocolate chip cookie. It's

506
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 3: been left out in the sun. He folded. That was

507
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 3: not what I want to see in a championship like

508
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 3: this one. He might not ever have the killer instinct

509
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 3: required to win a green jacket, and for him to

510
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 3: get bet up as inflated as he is, I just

511
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 3: don't see it. As much as I love watching him play,

512
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 3: I just don't see it. And I will not be

513
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 3: placing any bets on Colin Morikawa this year. We're ever

514
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 3: at the Masters.

515
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: There points Bryson d Chambeau got to talk about him.

516
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: He finished sixth here last year. But Augusta has not

517
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: been especially kind to Bryson. He famously said a few

518
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: years ago that he was going to treat Augusta as

519
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: a par sixty eight because of the short par fives.

520
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: And yes, Bryson is a guy who could go ten

521
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: under par on the par fives this week, But does

522
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,959
Speaker 1: he have the needed touch around the greens. I think

523
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: that's the big question, And really, will his distance off

524
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: the t be a big advantage in a week when

525
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: the course is going to be pretty dry and firm,

526
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: Like I'd be much more intrigued if Bryson were playing

527
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: kind of a saggy Augusta. I'd also be more intrigued

528
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: if you weren't a YouTube superstar who's fame is probably

529
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: artificially lowering his odds. So are you with me that

530
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of value on Bryson at plus

531
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred.

532
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: Well, Bryson and Ludvigger similar in that they both have

533
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 3: that upside of going really really low on a tough

534
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 3: golf course. We saw what Bryson can do on a

535
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 3: tough track that challenges his short game at the US

536
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 3: Open last year. Pinehurst was the absolute test for Bryson

537
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 3: to Shambo, and Pinehurst and Augusta not that different. Really.

538
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 3: There's a lot of similarities in how they're laid out,

539
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 3: what kind of misses you can have, what kind of

540
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 3: misses you can't have. And Bryson impressed me, so I'm

541
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 3: more likely to bet Bryson than I am Colin or Rory.

542
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 3: Because of that, will I still feature him on my card?

543
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 3: Probably not, because, again, the chipping and putting is such

544
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 3: a stressor on all these players that I'm going to

545
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 3: be leaning towards the guys who are not just adequate

546
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 3: in the short game but elite.

547
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: Now, you're the Justin Thomas guy, bo, how do you

548
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: feel about JT? He is twenty five to one. He's

549
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: had a top five and a pair of top tens

550
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: here in recent years, but he also missed the cut

551
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: here in each of the last two years.

552
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, another guy who's struggling with the putter on occasion,

553
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 3: but his big bugaboo has been off the tee, and

554
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 3: as tough as it is to position yourself off the

555
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 3: tee here, I probably won't bet him at twenty five

556
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: to one. I was hoping to see him at thirty

557
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: or thirty five so I could make a bet that

558
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 3: made me want to watch the Masters even more that

559
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: just didn't pan out. Twenty five to one is fair.

560
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 3: It's just not that good of a line for Justin Thomas,

561
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 3: especially since he has missed the weekend here twice in

562
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 3: a row. This is a different Justin Thomas. It's good.

563
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 3: It's just a different style of play than we've seen

564
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 3: in the last couple of years. So I hope he

565
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 3: does well. I'm just not gonna be betting on it.

566
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: Let's look at the odds for some of the mid

567
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: range options. Tyrrel Hatton and Shane Lowry are plus forty

568
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: five hundred. Georgia native Russell Henley is plus fifty five hundred,

569
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: Cameron Smith, Minwoo Lee and Robert McIntyre are plus six thousand.

570
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: Aksha Beatilla, will Zlatoris and Sergio Garcia are plus sixty

571
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: five hundred. Corey Conners is plus seven thousand, Tory Finow,

572
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: Jason Day, and Sepstraca are plus seventy five hundred, and

573
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: Wyndham Clark is plus eight thousand. Let's talk about these guys,

574
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: but is there any betting value in this range?

575
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 3: There is with a couple guys. I will caution a

576
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: lot of people on guys who have big holes in

577
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 3: their game. This course is going to test your entire bag.

578
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 3: It's gonna test every amount of creativity you have in

579
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 3: your brain to make that bag work for you on

580
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 3: this golf course, and it's gonna do that for four

581
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 3: ruling days, we're walking up and down gigantic hills, and

582
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 3: you're going to be thinking your whole way around. So

583
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 3: in this mid range, I'm looking for the thinkers. I'm

584
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 3: looking for the guys who aren't going to crack under

585
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 3: the pressure and aren't going to be ruined by one

586
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 3: bad hole. And so with that being said, I'm going

587
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: to actually look to see Hideki Matziyama, a prior champion,

588
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 3: kind of slip into that mid tier. If he slips

589
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 3: to thirty five or forty to one, we're looking at

590
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 3: a huge, huge investment and ladder bet for me because

591
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 3: a is a prior champion. One of the best master's

592
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,959
Speaker 3: moments I've ever seen was him and his caddie turning

593
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 3: towards the eighteenth fair we had bowing to the setting

594
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 3: Georgian sun. This guy is playing outstanding golf right now,

595
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 3: and there's no telling how much more of a memory

596
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 3: he's going to create at this golf course when he's

597
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 3: a what twenty six years old. Hideki Matziama is still

598
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 3: in the prime of his career. He's playing great golf

599
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 3: and he's already got that good vibes going at Augusta National.

600
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 3: That's a guy that I'm willing to throw a lot

601
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 3: of money on, especially if he slips past thirty to

602
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 3: one to thirty five or forty. And then the other

603
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 3: guy is who doesn't like Cameron Smith at Augusta. This

604
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 3: guy just a He's a top ten machine at Augusta.

605
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 3: It's because he plays a timeless style of golf where

606
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 3: he's not that great off the tee. He's a short hitter.

607
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 3: He plays a more positional style. There is not a

608
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 3: more lethal golfer in the world with a wedge and

609
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 3: putter in his hand. There's just not. He's number one

610
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 3: in every short game metric, He's number one in every

611
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 3: putting metric. He's number one in every short game thing

612
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 3: you can even measure. And the proof is in the pudding.

613
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 3: This guy is fun to watch. He scores on tough

614
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 3: golf courses. It's because he does not really he does

615
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 3: not relent when a wedge or putter is in his hand.

616
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 3: And I think that he breaks through this year in

617
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 3: a big way. At sixty to one, that's an insult.

618
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 3: He's plus four hundred just to get a top ten,

619
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 3: which he's done every year, but one that he's been

620
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 3: at Augusta.

621
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: Oh, the man is a machine van go with a

622
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: wedge in his hands. Boy, the short game always plays

623
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: up at Augusta for Cam Smith, and he's finished top

624
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: ten in four of the last six Masters. But Cam's

625
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: foreman lived tour this year not not real good, only

626
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: one top ten finish in five starts Bots. The top

627
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: ten finish just came this past week in Miami. It

628
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: was only a nine.

629
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 3: At a very tough golf course that challenges the shirt.

630
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, winning score was what minus six? So, yeah, Darrell

631
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: is tough.

632
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 3: I remember Durrell being on the PGA Tour and that's

633
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 3: a really good barometer and warm up for Augusta's actually

634
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 3: at the Live Miami tournament there at Darrell.

635
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: Agreed, good tune up. Russell Henley bow He's from Macon, Georgia.

636
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: He's a Georgia bulldog. I realized Henley is sort of

637
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: a Bermuda green specialist and Augusta has bent grass greens.

638
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: But Henley finished fourth here two years ago and he's

639
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: been playing great this year. He's sixth in strokes gained

640
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: total twenty two in strokes gained on approach, nineteenth in

641
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: strokes gained putting. I guess what maybe scares me a

642
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: little bit is that he's barely inside the top one

643
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: hundred and strokes gained scrambling. But at fifty five to one,

644
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm definitely interested. I'm also kind of interested in Robert McIntyre,

645
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: like left handers might have an advantage here with the

646
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: way they shape the ball, especially the ones who play

647
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: the fade and Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, Mike Weir all lefties,

648
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: all pass champions multiple times for Phil and Bubba. McIntyre

649
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: has finished twelfth and twenty third and two previous Masters starts,

650
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: and his recent form has been pretty solid eleventh, ninth,

651
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: and ninth in his last three PGA Tour events. Will

652
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: v Xalatorus excuse me, looks like really good value great

653
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: ball striker hasn't had a top ten this year, but

654
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: he's had three straight top tens at the Masters. And

655
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: speaking of great ball strikers, bo, I'm kind of conflicted

656
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: on Corey Connors. He's pretty dialed in three top tens

657
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: in his last four events. He was just eighteenth at

658
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: the Valero Counters was making a big move on Saturday

659
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: at the Valero. Then he three part of the par

660
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: five seventeenth for a bogie, And that is the concern

661
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: for Corey Connors at Augusta. He's not a good putter

662
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: by PJ Tour standards, short game. Can he pot well

663
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: enough to win at Augusta? But can he be a

664
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: VJ Singh a guy who's a great ball striker and

665
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: a mediocre putter, but his putter gets hot for four days.

666
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: That's what happened to VJ when he won the Masters.

667
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 3: So VJ is a mediocre petter. Corey Connors is an

668
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 3: atrocious putting point and he's an atrocious chipper too, So yeah,

669
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 3: Corey Connor has better bet on like the most insane

670
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 3: heater of approach proximity on the correct side of the hole,

671
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 3: because if this guy gets short sighted or above the hole,

672
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 3: he's absolutely toast.

673
00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 2: Very true.

674
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: He is a surgeon with the iron, so maybe you

675
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: can do that, but man to do that over seventy

676
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: two holes at Agasta is a pretty tall order. Granted,

677
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: what about long shots? Bo We don't see many long

678
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: shot winners at the Masters, but we do occasionally get

679
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: the on Hell Cabrera from two thousand and nine who

680
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: breaks through for a win at longer odds. So is

681
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: there anyone you like north of eighty.

682
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 3: To one as two guys I circled, Like you said,

683
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 3: the long shot bets of the Masters don't usually pan

684
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 3: out because these these guys are all so good, and

685
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 3: you get a couple stragglers that barely qualify in the

686
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 3: last weeks before the tournament. I'm gonna go for long

687
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 3: shots with experience. I'm gonna go with Keegan Bradley. Oh, captain,

688
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 3: my captain. He's gonna be He's gonna be leading us

689
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: the Red, White and Blue at Bethpage Black in September.

690
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 3: This guy's playing great golf and he's he's just he's

691
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 3: so sharp on approach this year that I don't see

692
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 3: his weaknesses really showing up. Because this guy's always been

693
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 3: a great scrambler, always been a great grinder, and his

694
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 3: kind of his tee to green game has put what's

695
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 3: held him back in the past. Well, guess what, He's

696
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 3: as sharp as he's ever been, top seven in this

697
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 3: field on approach, and he's one of the best par

698
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 3: five scorers in this field period. He's at one hundred

699
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 3: to one, and I can absolutely see Keegan Bradley going

700
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 3: on one of those miracle runs where he just gets

701
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 3: the crowd fired up and he goes out there and

702
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 3: the patrons, as they call him at Augusta National, will

703
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 3: definitely be behind the captain of TM USA for the

704
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 3: Ryder Cup and the last one is two hundred and

705
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: fifty to one. It's a yolo vet. It's just based

706
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 3: on short game. Christian Bizet Note of South Africa. He

707
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 3: hasn't won anything since twenty twenty, but he's playing his

708
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: best golf of his career right now. He's got the

709
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 3: short game to stay in contention, make the cut his

710
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 3: top twenty bettest plus four hundred. I just think that

711
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 3: it's something that's just it's a feel bet for me

712
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 3: where I'm just looking at the course setup and who

713
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 3: might fit in a basis. But he's played the Masters

714
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 3: three times, not in the last two years, but though

715
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 3: the three times he's played the Masters, he's made the

716
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 3: cut all three times. So I do like his fit here,

717
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 3: especially with the form he's carrying in.

718
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: You could talk me into a first round leader bet

719
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 1: On Baz Oh oh yeah, interesting, Oh yeah, for sure,

720
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: I could see it.

721
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's good. It's probably thirty or forty to

722
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 3: one at worst.

723
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: Now now Patrick Reid at one hundred to one, Yes, please,

724
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: one of the best short games in the world, A

725
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: magician's touch around the greens. Patrick Reid won the Green

726
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: Jacket in twenty eighteen and has been top ten in

727
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: three of his six Masters appearances since the victory. Firm

728
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: fast conditions would work in his favor. I believe, yes,

729
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm all over Patrick Reid at one hundred to one now.

730
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: If anyone could win the Masters at age fifty four ball,

731
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: it's Phil Michelson.

732
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

733
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: He's won three Green jackets, he knows every inch of

734
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: this course. His short game has made for the place,

735
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: and he has been in good form lately. Third a

736
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: Live Hong Kong last month, six that Live Miami this

737
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: past week. He's one hundred and ten to one, and

738
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: Cameron Young not great form this week long odds though,

739
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 1: for a guy who's finished top ten in each of

740
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: the last two years at the Masters and is strong

741
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: with the driver, So I'm not sure I can get

742
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: you on board.

743
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 2: For that one bow. But just just throwing that out

744
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 2: there for the people.

745
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 3: It's the people. The people are gonna be fun. It's

746
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 3: gonna be fun. Watching Cam Young try to put on anything,

747
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 3: let alone the toughest screens that we're gonna see all year.

748
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 3: It's it's gonna be entertainment at its finest. Yeah, watching

749
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 3: Cam Young try to navigate these screens again.

750
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: Oddly enough, I think he's in the just inside the

751
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: top fifty and strokes gained putting this year right around fifty.

752
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: But then you know, you look at last year and

753
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: it was one hundred and fifty fourth, So that's a

754
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: pretty good reflection of what kind of putter he actually is. Yeah,

755
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: so let's get to the early betting cards. Bo who

756
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: is on yours as of right now?

757
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 3: So Xander Schaffley at plus eighteen hundred, Ludwig Oberg at

758
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 3: plus two thousand, and then I dropped down to Hideki

759
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 3: Matsiyama currently at plus three thousand, Cam Smith at plus

760
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 3: six thousand, and then I'm gonna throw some darts at

761
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 3: Keegan Bradley at plus ten thousand, and Christian is a

762
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 3: newte at plus two twenty five two hundred fifty to one.

763
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not putting a lot on a John Ram outright,

764
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: but I do have a little something on Ram at

765
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 1: plus thirteen hundred I'm gonna I'm gonna follow your Xander

766
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: Schaffley advice BO, just the way he's been so steely

767
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: in recent majors. I'm gonna take him at plus eighteen hundred,

768
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: Russell Henley plus fifty five hundred with a top ten

769
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: kicker at plus three twenty, Will Zalatorus at plus sixty

770
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: five hundred with a top five kicker at plus seven fifty.

771
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm doing Corey Connors for a top ten bow at

772
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: plus four hundred. I don't think he can win, but

773
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: I think he can finish top ten as well as

774
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: he's been hitting the ball. Sergio Garcia for a top

775
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: twenty at plus one seventy five. Mind you, at top twenty,

776
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,439
Speaker 1: Sergio has actually been playing pretty well lately. He's hitting

777
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: the ball great. And Phil Mickelson for a top twenty

778
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 1: at plus three hundred and to make the cut at

779
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,720
Speaker 1: minus one fifteen. I think those are both really good bets.

780
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: And then my two biggest investments of the week Bow

781
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: I am ladder betting Patrick Reid one hundred to one

782
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: to win, eleven to one for a top five, plus

783
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: four fifty for a top ten, and plus one eighty

784
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: for a top twenty and I have a substantial wager

785
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: on Max Homa to miss the cut at even money

786
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: plus one hundred. Home has been utterly lost this year.

787
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: He's missed five straight cuts. His best finish was a

788
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: fifty third at Pebble Beach back in February. Maxhoma recently

789
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: changed caddies. He had one of his closest friends since

790
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: childhood on his bag. They've parted ways. I don't think

791
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: there's any way Maxhoma makes the cut this week. Maxhoma

792
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: missing the cut is my favorite single bet of the week.

793
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: I hate to be a grave dancer bow, but you know,

794
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: I just think that's a fantastic money making opportunity. Now

795
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: for our one and done picks. BO had Akshay Battia

796
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: last week at the Valero. He missed the cut. Bo's

797
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 1: very first miss cut of the year, ending a streak

798
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: of thirteen straight events in which Bo's player made the cuts.

799
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,240
Speaker 1: I had Corey Connors. He tied for eighteenth, good for

800
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirteen and fifty dollars. You are up

801
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: first at the Masters Bow.

802
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 2: Who are you taking?

803
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna burn it right here.

804
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: Scotty Scheffler, Oh, the big one there it is now

805
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: for anyone in a one and done pool. I mean,

806
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: I can't argue with Scotty Scheffler as a play like

807
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 1: I would hope not in.

808
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: A big money event.

809
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I do think for most people, especially the

810
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: people who might have might be saving Scotty, might have

811
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: used Scotty somewhere else, I think the smart play is

812
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: to take a live tour player this week. You only

813
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 1: have four chances to use the stars of the Live Tour,

814
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: the four Majors and a bunch of the tour guys

815
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: have great track records at the Masters and games that

816
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: are well suited for this course. So I do think

817
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 1: it's game theory optimal to use a live player this week.

818
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,919
Speaker 1: I am going to take Big Jon Rahm. And that

819
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: is all for this week's Betting Pros PGA podcast sponsored
