We gave Sobl 19 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 2: you know, he gets about like forty eight hours off 20 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 2: every year or two. So yeah, him enjoying his much 21 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: richly earned a couple of days of respite exactly. 22 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 3: He needs a break from all the golfee plays, I 23 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:15,199 Speaker 3: think too. 24 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's definitely really the break. Yeah, the break 25 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: from the you know, Central Florida pro am slash scramble 26 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: circuit that he's on most of the time exactly. 27 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 3: But before we get into this week's inaugural Palmetto Championship 28 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 3: at Congarye, we do need to talk about this weekend 29 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 3: Saturday in particular. So rom is a six shot lead 30 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 3: walking off the eighteenth green and then he's informed he 31 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 3: has COVID and needs a withdrawal. But he also did 32 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 3: make history, I should add, as the first professional golfer 33 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 3: to make all on one with COVID, So there is 34 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 3: a bright side. But then we know of two million dollars. 35 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 3: We know officially there. 36 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: Could be some dude on a tour somewhere who made 37 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: an ace and then they didn't test. But yeah, I mean, 38 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: what an unbelievable, just an incredible sequence of events to 39 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: come out after the delay make a hole in one. 40 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: He recorded That was his best career round on the 41 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 2: PGA Tour by strokes gain, which is no small feat 42 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 2: for John Ram, a guy who goes low all the time. 43 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: He ties Tiger's fifty four hole lead record at the Memorial. 44 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 2: He looks like he's gonna moon walk like an eleven 45 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: shot win and then honestly, like based on the way 46 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: he had his reaction, he said, not again, I was 47 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: worried something worse. I was worried that like he was 48 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 2: told about a family member or something horrible. I mean, yeah, 49 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: this was big news and it was really sad. But 50 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: I mean in the immediate after matthe you're almost kind 51 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 2: of like, oh, okay, all right, that makes sense that 52 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: he would have that have that kind of reaction and everything, 53 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 2: because immediately I thought something much more severe. I wonder 54 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 2: what your your reaction was watching it just really surreal, 55 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 2: kind of twenty minutes. 56 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 3: So I did not see it live. I had gone 57 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 3: kayaking earlier in the day. It was like ninety degrees. 58 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 3: It was absolutely blistering. We were out there for five hours, 59 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 3: and I'd fallen asleep around like six thirty, like I felt, 60 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 3: I fell asleep very early for the night, and I 61 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 3: go to bed early anyway, so I didn't see it. 62 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 3: I woke up the next morning and was like, oh 63 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 3: my god, like there was so much to take in. 64 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 3: I had so much to absorb in such a short 65 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 3: amount of time. Like I felt like Europe when Europe 66 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 3: wakes up to this news and they're like, oh my god, 67 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 3: what happened on the BGA tour? I was Europe, you know, 68 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 3: so nice? Yeah, it was. It was shocking, though, I 69 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 3: mean I was I don't know, what are your thoughts 70 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 3: on the way they handled it? That was one of 71 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 3: the shocking things to me. 72 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: So initially I thought, how could they do this to 73 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: the guy right off the seventy second green? But this 74 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: is a no win situation for the tour, Like what 75 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: are they supposed to do? Have him walk off the green, 76 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: high five fans like, you know, hug somebody, like get 77 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: in the cart with his caddy close by like that 78 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: almost is visually worse. I don't really know what the 79 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 2: answer is. I know that they did a pretty good 80 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: job laying out the timeline of events of how everything happened, 81 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: how he had the initial test, and then they wanted 82 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: to make sure that it wasn't a false positive, so 83 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: they didn't know. I think it was he was walking 84 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 2: up the eighteenth fairway when they got confirmation that he 85 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: was in back positive with COVID nineteen. So I don't 86 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: think they can win, you know, I don't think there's 87 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 2: a great way to do it. I think that all 88 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: things considered. I know that they were. I mean the 89 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: targets ripped for everything they do, you know, it doesn't matter, 90 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: and at the. 91 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 3: Time it's like deserved. 92 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 2: But yeah, no, and there are things that are justifiable 93 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: in that sense, but a lot of times too. I mean, 94 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 2: they're in a situation where you know, they can do 95 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 2: no right, and I think that was kind of what 96 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 2: it was. From this situation, there's no great way to 97 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: handle it. So I am a little bit thankful and 98 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 2: they might be. Two. Think about if this is a 99 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 2: few years ago William McGirt won his first and only 100 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: PGA tournament. What if it's a journeyman player up by 101 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: six shots, five shots, having the week of his life. 102 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 2: This could be life changing and then that happens like 103 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: that that would have been for a guy like John Rahm, 104 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: Like yeah, lose one point six million, lose a big 105 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: prestigious tournament, cotting on back to back. That's thinks. John 106 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 2: ram is going to win a lot of golf tournaments 107 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: in his career. He already has any in the future, 108 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: So yeah, that is kind of what I thought was, Like, Man, 109 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: what if this was a kind of a journeyman player 110 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: having a great week and that was one of the 111 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 2: situations I thought of. But what did you think of 112 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 2: the way they handled it? 113 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 3: Like you said, there was really no other way to 114 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 3: do it. You can't let him like walk off and continue. However, 115 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 3: like they you know, he had he had been doing 116 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 3: the contract contact tracing thing all week or whatever starting Monday. Yeah, 117 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 3: you've been in contact someone the tests of positive. Okay, 118 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 3: he had to take a test every single day. Comes 119 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 3: Saturday and he tests a negative until Saturday. After the 120 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 3: conclusion of the second round on Saturday, he retests and 121 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 3: they get the confirmation around like four to twenty pm 122 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 3: I think, and then they you know, find out like 123 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 3: six or something that if it really is COVID. So 124 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 3: you got to think, I mean, how many guys did 125 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 3: he come in contact with? I know it was limited 126 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 3: access to facilities and being indoors and different whatever around 127 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 3: the course. And I'm not criticiz. This is not criticizing. 128 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 3: I'm genuinely curious how many people like he. 129 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 5: I just want to know how. 130 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 3: I wonder how many people he came in contact with 131 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 3: in the times when he was like still testing negative. 132 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 3: So I don't know. I'm not a doctor. I don't 133 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 3: know if he was like like giving other people the 134 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 3: virus at that time, but Saturday, you knew we had it. 135 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 3: So I'm just curious, like why or just Morikawa and 136 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 3: the other guys that were around him, like just for them, 137 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 3: I'm curious. But I mean, golf is it's it's a 138 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 3: pretty distance thing. 139 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: So that's one of the things we've talked about since 140 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 2: the beginning of the entire COVID situations. Golf benefited from 141 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 2: the natural spacing of the tournament. And if you watch 142 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 2: when he makes the ace on Saturday morning, his playing 143 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 2: partners don't high five him. They mor Coba is walking 144 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: away and like gives him like virtual dapt from like 145 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 2: six feet away, Like it's all I mean, it sounds 146 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 2: like he told them beforehand, Hey I've got a positive 147 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: it might be false. I don't know, and they're like 148 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 2: they're like, okay, whatever, let's play. Like you know, maybe 149 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 2: they were cognizant of it throughout the round. You hope 150 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 2: that this didn't spread in any way. I think the 151 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 2: fact that this happened in June of twenty twenty one 152 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: and not in June of twenty twenty speaks to the 153 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: breadth of this global experience. And then this isn't gone yet. 154 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 2: Like as much as life feels like it's getting back 155 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 2: to normal, it still exists. You know, it's still around 156 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 2: and it can still hurt people. So it's wild. I'm 157 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 2: glad he's a symptomatic. And you know, poor Patrick Cantlay, 158 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: it's not his fault that rom dispos. 159 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 3: And speaking of Patrick Cantlay, we had the Patrick can'tlay 160 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 3: Colin work how a playoff. They both hit terrible approach 161 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 3: shots on their nineteenth hole or whatever, and on their 162 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 3: first playoff holl of nineteenth hole, who am I? And 163 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 3: then I mean Patrick Cantley makes an incredible putt yeah 164 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 3: from the second hole on the second hole, Yeah, who 165 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 3: first playoff hole? 166 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: I believe it was the second playoff the big yeah 167 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: was still in regulation where the whole weather delay thing 168 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 2: where they had more hit and then they and then 169 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: they stopped for a little while. It was a very 170 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 2: odd kind of sequence of events. I meant, I had 171 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: that on mute of my double TV setup, and I 172 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 2: had the US Women's Open on as well, which was 173 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 2: really compelling. I finished down the stretch Lexi Thompson absolutely 174 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 2: gagging down the stretch, but it was a good finish. 175 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 2: But as far as Memorial goes, I think that was 176 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,559 Speaker 2: the most interesting to me is that more Kyle almost 177 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: won that golf tournament. He is far and away statistically 178 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: the best strokes gained approach player on the PGA Tour 179 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 2: this season. He was terrible on Sunday, he ranked like 180 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 2: fifty eighth in the field and strokes gained approach, He's 181 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 2: still almost won the golf tournament with those I mean 182 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 2: he was all over the place it was placed with 183 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 2: his irons. I don't know if he's getting bad numbers 184 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 2: or what was going on, but he was not himself 185 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: and still almost got the win. This is kind of interesting. 186 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 2: I know it's a little bit of a statistical anomaly 187 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: that you had the last three winners at Memorial. More 188 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: cal at Workday, can't lay at Memorial, and Ron Memorial 189 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 2: were the three main foils in the story all week. 190 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: It's almost like Memorials turning into like the course horsiest 191 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 2: horse for the course of venue. Yeah, one of the 192 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: most on tour. And I looked at you know last 193 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 2: week we talked about on the Gimme and Jason I 194 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 2: talked on the podcast about the enormous significance of approach 195 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 2: play here. It's a lot like you gus to National, 196 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 2: where the rough maybe isn't necessarily as penalizing. There was 197 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 2: more rough a Jack's place in there in Augusta. But 198 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 2: you know the significance of iron play and players were 199 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 2: really strong in that particular skill set. It really shone 200 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: through this week with the guys we saw contending. 201 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 3: I agree, and like you said, we have horses for 202 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 3: courses at Mirfield Village, but this week we're at a 203 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 3: brand new venues. So we have the ball Meto Championship 204 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 3: at Congaree. It's filling in for the RBC Canadian Open, 205 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 3: which is set to return again next year, so we 206 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 3: do look forward to that. But let's look at the 207 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 3: odds board from our friends over at bet MGM so 208 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 3: not shocking. South Carolina native Dustin Johnson plus seven point fifty. 209 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 3: He leads the field brooks Kopka plus eight hundred. It's 210 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 3: moved down. It was nine hundred to open this morning, 211 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 3: Terrell Hatton twelve to one, Matt Fitzpatrick fourteen to one, 212 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 3: Sung j M sixteen to one. So it'll be really 213 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 3: interesting to see what happens this week because there's gonna 214 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 3: there's a huge gap between those top five that I 215 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 3: just read you and Brandon Grace, like Tommy Fleetwood guys 216 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 3: at twenty five to one. So these top five players 217 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 3: break it down for me? Who do you like here? 218 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 2: Oh, just give you an idea of how far this 219 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 2: field is a disparity between Memorial last week and US 220 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 2: Open next week. Garrick Higgo is fifteenth on the board. Yeah, 221 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: many American golf fans even know who that dude is. 222 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 2: So yeah, you've got some top heavy action there with 223 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 2: DJ and Koepka, and then you know you can find 224 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 2: some value down the board. This is one of those 225 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 2: weeks where if you dig a little bit and do 226 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: a little bit of research, whatever is available with this 227 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 2: course that no one's ever played on before. I thought 228 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 2: it was interesting. Lucas Glover is a player ambassador for 229 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 2: congar Ee, and he said that he thought maybe I 230 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 2: think it was twenty of the guys in the field, 231 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 2: maybe tops have ever played this golf course before, so 232 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 2: it's gonna be really interesting. He also said, though, what 233 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 2: I thought was cool, and you had mentioned this to me, 234 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 2: is that the course is modeled a little bit off 235 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 2: the Australian sand belt, so a lot that that's really 236 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: you know, one of my favorite sporting events in the 237 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 2: last several years, favorite golf terms, was that President's Cup 238 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 2: at Melbourne a couple years back, and we saw all 239 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 2: these different approach shots and interesting ways to play. Glover 240 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: said he thinks that there's going to be long guys 241 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 2: who are able to take advantage of their distance carrying, 242 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 2: but you can also for the shorter guys reclaim some 243 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 2: distance by hitting some runner shots and some shots that 244 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: maybe are a little bit unconventional. So that doesn't help 245 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 2: betters that it makes it really tough to pinpoint the 246 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 2: type of player who might win. But it's over seventy 247 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 2: six hundred yards. There's a six hundred and forty five 248 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: yard Part five, there's a couple of part fours over 249 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 2: five hundred and twenty yards. So maybe I favored distance 250 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 2: a little bit. But when I think about Bermuda greens 251 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 2: and some sand present I kind of get the visual 252 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 2: that this might look a little bit like the events 253 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: in the Middle East on the European Tour. Yeah, Abu Dhabi, 254 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: the divide his are classic DP World Championships, So you know, 255 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 2: I'm looking at guys who've had some success on those 256 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 2: type of golf courses and maybe that'll point me in 257 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 2: the right direction. But I agree with. 258 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 3: I agree with that. I think the courses in Abu Dhabi, 259 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 3: like those desert courses there, I would say they're more 260 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 3: similar to like a Shadow Creek or somewhere out west 261 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: in the United States, where it's a manufactured golf course, like, yeah, 262 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 3: it's kind of along there, But the Australian sand belt courses, 263 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 3: they're more like nature, right, you kind of go with 264 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 3: how nature does it. And I agree with looking at 265 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 3: the guys that play well over there, but I just 266 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 3: like that's I'm going to look more at guys who 267 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 3: played well in South Australia, you know, guys that have 268 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 3: played well at Royal Melbourne and the other events on 269 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 3: the Australasian Tour. So I think there's a lot of 270 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 3: golf to look at in the past in Australia, a 271 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 3: lot of statistics that people should kind of look to 272 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 3: and see who did well at certain courses down there 273 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 3: and kind of go from there. I think that's gonna 274 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 3: be your best bet this week. You know, like Lucas 275 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 3: Glover said, only handful of guys who ever played this course. 276 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 2: I like it maybe some JM. I know he's high 277 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 2: up on the board, but he kicked a lot of 278 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 2: ass at that President's Cup. I mean, that might be 279 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: somebody to look at this week. He hasn't been quite 280 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: himself this year compared to the way he played last season, 281 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 2: but he's really interesting. 282 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 3: So let's look at the top of the board here. 283 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 3: Some of the top tier guys we haven't talked about yet. 284 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 3: Like I said, Brandon Grace is twenty five to one, 285 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 3: Tommy Fleetwood twenty five to one. You have Lucas Glover 286 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 3: at forty to one, Garret you go fifty to one, 287 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 3: Keith Mitchell all the way up at forty to one. 288 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 3: We haven't really seen him that high on the board lately. 289 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 3: And Kevin Kissner fifty to one. South Carolina guy. Do 290 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 3: you know, does he have a history here at this course? 291 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 3: Does he know this course? 292 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 2: I don't know for sure. I do know that he 293 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: snapped a streak of five straight missed cuts in his 294 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 2: last start, So not the kind of form that you'd 295 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: like to see. I mean, he was one of the 296 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 2: guys I was really interested looking into it, and I 297 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 2: was like, I haven't heard much from Kisner and you 298 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 2: pull it up and he's missed five of his last 299 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: six cuts. So Lucas Glover has one of the PGA 300 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 2: Tour in ten years and he's what eleventh on the board. 301 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 2: I mean, it's really it's kind of an interesting mix 302 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: when you look at there and then I Vince Whaley 303 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 2: has been passed, say that a statistical darling for a 304 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 2: while now. The last six seven starts, he's got one 305 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 2: of the longest cuts made streaks on the PGA Tour, 306 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 2: and I was like, this is my week, He's my 307 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 2: long shot. I looked down. He's only sixty six to one. 308 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 2: I know, a long shot. So yeah, but at the 309 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 2: top of the board, I think, you know, there's some 310 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 2: guys who haven't really necessarily had terrific form recently. Tommy 311 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 2: Fleetwood big name in the sport right, but he hasn't 312 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: really contended a ton since COVID began. I don't know 313 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 2: if that has anything to do with it. It's just 314 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 2: a dip in form. You know, Alex Norin's guy's had 315 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 2: a ton of success in Europe, hasn't played a ton 316 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: of great golf recently. You know, Ian Poulter is at 317 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 2: thirty three to one. Same kind of situation where you 318 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 2: know he's had some he had some good finishes earlier 319 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 2: in the year, but you don't really know what you're 320 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 2: going to get for a guy on the other side 321 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 2: of forty. So it's certainly interesting. I wish I could 322 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 2: give more, you know, per you know, lasers at the 323 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: top of the board, But honestly, this is a week 324 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 2: where I'm looking a little bit deeper and trying to 325 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 2: find some value. 326 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 3: All right, So let's look kind of center of the board. 327 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 3: You see the guys starting in like eighty to one, 328 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 3: Pat Perez, I don't love that number for him, but 329 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 3: Rappa Kubera bell BeO eighty to one, I do like 330 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 3: that number for him. And I also like that eight 331 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 3: to one number for Ritchie was Rwensky like he plays 332 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 3: well on these kind of courses. JT posting at one 333 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 3: hundred to one. Eric van Royan. Now, if Eric van 334 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 3: Ryan plays well here and Brandon Grace plays well here, 335 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 3: Garrik Hego will play well here. For whatever reason, the 336 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 3: South Africans like text each other before an event and 337 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 3: are like, hey, do you want to play well this week? Yeah? Okay, 338 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 3: let's all play well together and they just go from 339 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 3: like pod jupon and you watch it on the European 340 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 3: Tour every single week, especially when they're in South Africa. 341 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 3: They play a certain type of golf course really really well. 342 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 3: And because of these similarities with this course and in 343 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 3: Australian golf courses, I think this actually could be a 344 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 3: week where we do see the sith Ephikins doing very well. 345 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 2: You mentioned off of Cabrera Bao, really liking him. That's 346 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 2: a guy who correlates really strongly with my courses in 347 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 2: the Middle East success types of situation I was thinking about. 348 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 2: He won the Dubai Desert Classic nine years ago, runner 349 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 2: up six years ago. He's also a guy. He's also 350 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 2: a guy who plays everywhere all over the planet. He 351 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 2: is not going to be phased by seeing a golf 352 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 2: course for the first time because he does several times 353 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 2: a year, and in comparison to a lot of guys 354 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 2: on the PGA Tour year in year out, they might 355 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 2: see one or two new venues, you know, based on 356 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 2: what their schedule is. That's not the case for Cabrera Bao. 357 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 2: Another guy who's a little bit lower on the board 358 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 2: has been playing some better golf recently finished in the 359 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 2: top twenty the last time the PGA Tours in South Carolina. 360 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: Danny Willett, he's won in Dubai, plays globally, third on tour, 361 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 2: and strokes gained around the green Lucas Glover, and I 362 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 2: know he's he's been the gochu source for all the 363 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 2: information on the course. You don't really have a ton 364 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 2: of it. He said that it plays firm and fast. 365 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 2: That tells me a low greens and regulation percentage by 366 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 2: the field. This week, to be expected, Danny will third 367 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 2: on tour and strokes tined around the greed. So if 368 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 2: that holds true, that statistics gonna be all the more important. 369 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 2: And I think that he's a guy who you could 370 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 2: find some value in. Down at eighty to one, that's 371 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: pretty good number. I'm gonna have him for a top ten, 372 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 2: in the top twenty probably, yeah. 373 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 3: And there's some guys around, you know, the one hundred 374 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 3: to one that I don't love. Ry Sabatini. I'm not 375 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 3: sure I like him at that number, but then Camilo 376 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 3: b Jegas is one twenty five to one and he's 377 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 3: been playing some really solid golf. He's been making cuts, 378 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 3: so I like him for prop bets this week a lot. 379 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 3: Tom Lewis won twenty five to one. Also another European 380 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 3: that he's recently found his form. Like when we first 381 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 3: saw him and I guess was it nine or twenty 382 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 3: ten or whatever, and he played with Tom Watson and 383 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 3: he was named after Tom Watson. Oh it was so great. 384 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 3: And then he went away and we never saw him again, 385 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 3: and then you know, fast forward. Now he's you know, 386 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 3: winning events on the European Tourney. He's playing well, so 387 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 3: I like him. And then Peter Yulene also won twenty 388 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 3: five to one. He just went on the corn Ferry 389 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 3: Tour not too long ago, so I can that's who 390 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 3: I like in that range. What do you think of 391 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 3: that range? I think there's a little bit of value 392 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 3: in there. 393 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 2: So Lewis is an interesting guy. He works with Brad 394 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 2: Fax and a big thing that I've talked to Brad 395 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 2: about with Tom is that confidence is huge for Tom 396 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 2: Lewis is that once he sees some balls, once he 397 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 2: sees some puts go in the hole, the confidence bills 398 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 2: He's able to gain momentum. So if he gets off 399 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 2: to a hot start, I think he's somebody you could 400 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 2: watch through the weekend in that range. The two most 401 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 2: interesting guys to me are two young guys. So John 402 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 2: Pack making his pro debut, I think he was either 403 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: the Nelson or what not, the Nelson Nicholas Award winner 404 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 2: or just to ask and. 405 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 3: He won the Haskin Award. He was the collegiate male golfer. Yeah, 406 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 3: I know what you meant. There's only fifty different awards right. 407 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 2: Exactly boils down to he's an absolute studd in college 408 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 2: and he's going to be a really good player. He's 409 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 2: making his pro debut. And a guy who's a stud 410 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 2: at Clemson right down the road, Bryce and Nimmer in 411 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 2: the field this week at two hundred to one. I'm 412 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 2: really interested in how they play. I think that might 413 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 2: be that might be a little fun side action for 414 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: like a top ten or two for both those guys. 415 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 2: The pressure of your pro debut, I mean, I know 416 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 2: John Rohm contended a few years back in his pro 417 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 2: debut on the PGA Tour, but it doesn't happen very often. 418 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 2: And Bryce and Nimmer, there are two guys who are 419 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 2: really interesting to be therena be fun to watch. I 420 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 2: always love when the young guys come out and make 421 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 2: their first big statement on the big stage. But maybe 422 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 2: just a little bit of side action there top twenty, 423 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 2: maybe like top forty, that could be fun. 424 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is this field just keeps going with 425 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 3: the odds here. And I found another South African that 426 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 3: I really like, Wilco Ninaber one fifty to one. Another 427 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 3: really good South African. It's SIT's so far, it's so 428 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 3: it's it's it is unreal. It's like I think he 429 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 3: breaks the sound barrier every single time he goes full 430 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 3: chuck Yeger. 431 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: He's basically he's a he's the European Tour Long drive 432 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 2: competition dude. Like he absolutely bombs it. So to see 433 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 2: him on this course if distance proves to be really 434 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 2: valuable not We're not sure if that that's going to 435 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 2: be the case. He's really interesting. He's gonna be fun 436 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 2: to follow this week for sure. Yeah. 437 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 3: Hudson Swatford two fifty to one. That's also not too bad. 438 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 3: He's kind of like a local guy, like we're not 439 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 3: too far from Savannah, and I know he's a Georgia guy, 440 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 3: and that's not terrible value on a guy like him. 441 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 3: Who else do you like? Wait way down here in 442 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 3: the like the crumbs man. 443 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 2: That's interesting. I mean, we'll fill out our DraftKings line 444 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 2: up here in a minute, and I feel like we're 445 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 2: going to be plucking from this this collection of players. 446 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 2: Probably mean Aubert. That's probably the guy who I look 447 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 2: at and see some interesting value there at one fifty 448 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 2: to one, someone who hits it a long way. You know, 449 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 2: guy's flashed a little bit here in the last few months. 450 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 2: Playing a little bit better golf. Is Jason Duffner, you know, 451 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 2: not the most consistent player at this point in his 452 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 2: career on the other side of forty that tends to 453 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 2: drift a little bit, but you know, he's playing a 454 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 2: little bit better golf recently. He's a guy, he's a 455 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 2: Southern dude, Auburn graduate, so you know, maybe he's got 456 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 2: some experience here. Pay He's played a lot of golf 457 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 2: in this region, I know, in his career, so a 458 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: little bit further down the board, he's an interesting player. 459 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 2: And then that's about I don't think you need to 460 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 2: go much further than that, because it's in a weak 461 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 2: field like this, you end up with a lot of 462 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 2: guys on the back end towards the bottom. Who are 463 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 2: you know either you know, drifting into Champions Store territory, 464 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 2: or you know, just don't make a lot of starts 465 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 2: regularly on the PGA tour exactly. 466 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 3: So it's perfect time for us to start our DFS lineup. 467 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: Wanting to be a DFS millionaire. You're just one lineup away. 468 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 4: We're gonna go with him, and you're gonna play better 469 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 4: than you ever dreamed of. 470 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 2: God, that's what I. 471 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 3: Demanded of you. 472 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: So let's get drafting. 473 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 3: I'll let you go first. Who do you like to 474 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 3: start it off this week? 475 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 2: I'll go with the guy I mentioned earlier who's been 476 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 2: playing some better golf. Top twenty finished the last time 477 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 2: there in South Carolina. I anticipate that there's gonna be 478 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 2: a pretty low percentage of players hitting the green regulation 479 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 2: this week. In terms of the field, Danny will is 480 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 2: third on the PGA towards strokeskin around the green. Hi. 481 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 4: Just a quick editor's note here from the producer, Danny 482 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 4: Willett was a late subtraction from this field, so please 483 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 4: disregard any Danny Willett plays. 484 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 3: All right, I'm going to go with the guy that 485 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 3: knows this course pretty well, Lucas Glover eighty six hundred 486 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 3: this week. I assume he's not going to be that 487 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 3: high owned at that price, but he does know this course, 488 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 3: and there's there's no. 489 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 2: The only one he's not going to. 490 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 3: Make the cut. So eighty six hundred Lucas. 491 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 2: Glover, I like it. Actually played some decent golf, tied 492 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 2: for eighth place two weeks ago at Colonial, and he's 493 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 2: made nine of his last ten stroke play cuts, So 494 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 2: I thought that was kind of an interesting pick going 495 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 2: into the week after. I've basically been combing through his 496 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 2: quotes to learn about this golf course over the last 497 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 2: twenty four or forty eight hours. 498 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 4: This is Action Network podcast producer Matt Mitchell here to 499 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 4: tell you our friends at bet mgim have a great 500 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 4: new sign up offer for our listeners, a six hundred 501 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 4: dollars risk free first bet.

Okay, 529 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 2: I really like this price we both mentioned and we 530 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 2: like him a little bit down the board. Rafa Cabrera 531 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 2: Beeo at seventy I think is a nice value. It's 532 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 2: going to give us some money on the back end, 533 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 2: get some bigger names in there. Cabrera BeO three top 534 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 2: forty finishes in a row respectable on the PGA Tour, 535 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 2: including of Themorial where he had a really bad Saturday 536 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 2: but still had had a reasonable finish. Some value down 537 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 2: the board, and you know, I talked about the comparisons 538 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 2: to maybe some of those courses on the European Tour 539 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: in the desert. So Rafa at seventy eight hundred, all right, 540 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: I like that. 541 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 3: I'm going to actually go with Vince Wale, a guy 542 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 3: we just talked about. We all love him here. He 543 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 3: is seventy seven hundred this week. No top tens. However, 544 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 3: he's been playing so well we cast at the top 545 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 3: twenty recently, so I like him a lot. 546 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 2: Wayley, one of the longest active cuts made streaks on 547 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 2: the PGA Tour. So that's I think that's really good 548 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 2: value at seventy seven hundred. I don't think i've seen 549 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 2: him hit a shot on a broadcast yet. But you know, 550 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 2: if you comb through and it's just play a player 551 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 2: B and you're looking at numbers, you're like, this guy's 552 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 2: pretty respectable value, especially this week in this field. All right, 553 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 2: So we got eighteen thousand left for our last time. 554 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 3: Where are you going? Are you gonna spend some money? 555 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 2: I feel like I need to, you know. And the 556 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 2: thing is when you get a little bit below that 557 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 2: nine thousand, which is what we've got in terms of 558 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 2: splitting the difference here with our money remaining. Like I 559 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 2: mentioned that i'd fade Kissner. He has been playing great. 560 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 2: You know, Alex Norn is eighty nine hundred, Like I mean, 561 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 2: you know, maybe HV three at eighty five hundred, that 562 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 2: could be interesting. You know a guy you mentioned playing 563 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,959 Speaker 2: in Australia, He's won the Australian PGA Championship before. Yeah, okay, 564 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 2: you know what I'm going Harold Varner eighty five. I'm 565 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 2: gonna leave you with ninety five hundred in the bank. 566 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 2: Just talk myself into it with the Australian PGA winner, 567 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 2: and you're comf to those Australian courses. I like that. 568 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 2: So I like that he'd be a popular winner, that's 569 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 2: for sure. 570 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 3: He would be a popular winner. He's from North Carolina. 571 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 3: It's not too far away. 572 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in the same you know, Carolina region. All right, 573 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 2: So you. 574 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 3: Left me with ninety five hundred Garrick heego is nine thousand. 575 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 3: On principle, I refuse to spend nine thousand dollars on 576 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 3: gerrit hego in the United States of America. 577 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 2: Like if we're playing a third rate European Tour event, 578 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 2: though not even. 579 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 3: Third, right, if we're playing the British Masters, I would 580 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 3: spend that on him. 581 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 2: There, you go, drop it on him and we do that. 582 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 2: It's not on this PGA Tour, No, no, ma'am. Yeah, 583 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 2: I just I. 584 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 3: Just don't love what I have left. Like all the 585 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 3: guys I would want are just a little bit out 586 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 3: of range right now. 587 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 5: But one guy that could potentially play well this week 588 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 5: is Keith Mitchell. He's I've kind of been surprising us. 589 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 5: He likes this like Selve swampy golf, and I just 590 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 5: I like him at a course like this. 591 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 3: Okay, So he was seventy nine hundred, and we left 592 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 3: seven hundred on the table. 593 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 2: By principle, I like leaving a little bit on the board. 594 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 2: You leave a little bit on the table. It's like 595 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 2: your your side bank for some good good karma, good juju. 596 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 2: Keith Mitchell one of the best drivers on the PGA 597 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 2: Tour thirty first and driving distance inside the top twenty 598 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 2: this year, and Strokes gamed off the tee.
