Speaker 2: got real telling, go concentrate on golf.

4
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 3: Welcome to the Action Network Podcast once again, the Golf

5
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 3: Edition presented by Bett MGM. I'm Jason Sobel from golf Bet, alongside,

6
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 3: as always, my friend Justin Ray, the head of content

7
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 3: from the Fifteenth Club and Austin, Texas resident where they

8
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 3: are playing this week's WGC Dell Technologies matchplay. Let's first

9
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 3: gloss over what happened this weekend, because honestly, it wasn't

10
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: that exciting. I know some people are trying to figure

11
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 3: out how to fix the Honda Classic. My answer is,

12
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 3: we've got a super season on the PGA Tour, their term,

13
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: not mine. There are fifty events. Some of them are

14
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 3: not going to be elite events. That's just how it works.

15
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: You can have fifty elite events in the fifty event schedule.

16
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 3: And so if the one event on the Florida Swing

17
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: that's not great is the one opposite the first weekend

18
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 3: of March Madness, Okay.

19
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's got to happen somewhere. One of my favorite

20
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 4: movies is Badge Santa and Billy Bob Thornton has a

21
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 4: line in that movie where he says to the kid.

22
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: Well, they can all be winners, can they.

23
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 4: And that's honestly, that's kind of the nature of it.

24
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 4: You run out of space and eventually guys who got

25
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 4: to take a week off and unfortunately for the Honda Classic,

26
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 4: that seems I mean, this was this was kind of

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 4: the week, kind of a downfield. You know, all apologies

28
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 4: to Matt Jones and his family. Matt seems like a

29
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 4: fine man and an awesome performance by him, but no,

30
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 4: it was not the most thrilling of golf tournaments. Jones

31
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 4: with a big lead and he just kind of hung on.

32
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 4: It was a hell of a second flight though, Brandon

33
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 4: Hagey at seven hundred and second place. There were twenty

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 4: two guys doing four shots of him. So but a

35
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 4: blowout win for Jones, you know, good for him, but yeah,

36
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 4: not not a supermemberable week for anybody outside the Jones clan.

37
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: So what you're saying is the Honda Classic is the

38
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: thermal mermal Thurman Merman of Verman Merman. Yeah, i'man Verman. Okay.

39
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 4: One of the better comedic characters of the last Fantastic

40
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 4: fifteen to twenty years one of my just such a

41
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 4: funny movie. One of my favorite days of the year

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 4: is the night I set aside after my wife goes

43
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 4: to bed and I watched bat Stand Around the holiday season.

44
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 3: Well played, well played, We will not linger too long.

45
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 3: On the Honda Classic, I thought the most impressive thing

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: about this week, other than just Matt Jones winning, was

47
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: the fact that Matt Jones went and shot sixty one

48
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: in the opening round, gained ten point four to nine

49
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 3: strokes on the field, then basically blew that lead was

50
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 3: a handful of stroke. At one point he was six

51
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: shots behind Aaron Wise. I mean it looked like, okay,

52
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: now Aaron Wise is gonna run away with this thing.

53
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: He's in control. And then Matt Jones not only grabbed

54
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: the lead back, but took complete control of the event

55
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 3: once again and put it in cruise control down the stretch,

56
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: which it's tough to put it in cruise control and

57
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: take advantage, take control of an event twice within a

58
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: four day span, and yet Matt Jones was able to

59
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 3: do that.

60
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, speaks to the volatility of that golf course, right

61
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 4: and all the crazy things that can happen all the

62
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 4: water everywhere. The difficulty there, and you know, I mean,

63
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: you got two guys who Jones and Wise, who aren't

64
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 4: weak to week and are not the most consistently great

65
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 4: players on the PGA Tour at this point, neither of

66
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 4: their careers. Why is at the beginning of his Jones

67
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 4: on the other side of forty. So yeah, that was

68
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 4: definitely one of the interesting parts of it. And why

69
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 4: is you mentioned what a five to six shot lead

70
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 4: at one point on Saturday and had evaporated pretty quickly,

71
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 4: and then you know, before you know it, Jones is

72
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 4: at the accelerate. I caught most of the most of

73
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: the broadcast on Sunday, and by the time I got

74
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 4: to it, the thing was over. Matt Jones had it

75
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 4: like you said, you know, basically no hand steering, cruise

76
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 4: controlling it was. It was a total coast to the finish.

77
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: So I was I just caught one thing. We made

78
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 4: our DraftKings team last week. I was criticized for my

79
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: addition of mister Zach Johnson, and Zach Johnson finished tied

80
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 4: for place. Now, admittedly I wasn't super confident in that pick.

81
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 4: It was more of a salary cap kind of cram

82
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 4: in there, But how about the veteran putting it together

83
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: with an eighth place finish a little bit of value

84
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 4: there if anyone followed with our DraftKings team.

85
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 3: When you say how about the veteran putting it together,

86
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 3: you're referring to him or you.

87
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 4: I mean I was referring to Zach, but they both apply.

88
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 3: Well played, well played, Yeah, I look, it was a

89
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: bad DFS week. We did really well the players. We

90
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: did not do well at the Honda and things happened,

91
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 3: and so yes, we will make a DFS lineup later

92
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 3: and that is who knows what's going on with DFS

93
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 3: this week. So we'll get into that. Let's go through

94
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: these groups and I'll go through sort of the way

95
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 3: the brackets are done as opposed to this Group one, two, three, four, five.

96
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: We'll go group one sixteen and kind of meander our

97
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 3: way through these brackets. And I had broken down the

98
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 3: brackets so far. I know you have two as well,

99
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: justin so I will start it off with group one,

100
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 3: which I think is one of the least exciting groups

101
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: with really not much competition there for dj DJ finishing

102
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: forty eighth and fifty fourth in his last two starts.

103
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: I was looking for somebody to go out there and

104
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: beat him. I still didn't pick him to win this group,

105
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 3: but I'm not very confident in it. There's so many

106
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: other Group B or pool B, C or D players

107
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 3: that would have been had a better chance to beat

108
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 3: DJ than nob Robert McIntyre or Adam Long. I went

109
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: with McIntyre. I can see not I can be talked

110
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 3: into him. Adam Long hasn't played great and of course

111
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 3: you can just go with the even money favorite to

112
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: get out of this group in DJ.

113
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 4: What do you like? Yeah, I mean nas Man it

114
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 4: to the round of sixteen twice in the last three

115
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 4: years of the match play. He'd be the only guy

116
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 4: who I would, you know, kind of lean towards it.

117
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 4: May give DJ a run for his money, but the

118
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: top seed overall since the pool play format began in

119
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 4: twenty fifteen, has a match record of eighteen six and

120
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 4: oh I know. One of the reasons that they went

121
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 4: to this format is to get the top players more.

122
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: You know, the more golf you play with better players, statistically,

123
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 4: the more likely you're going to get the stronger players

124
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 4: moving on. That was one of the reasons why they

125
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 4: wanted to do that, to not have guys fly across

126
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 4: the country, get ready and play, you know, have a

127
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 4: big dog, play one round and go home. So part

128
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 4: of that strategy is working. I picked Dustin Johnson in

129
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 4: this this week. You know, his ball striking wasn't great

130
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 4: at the Players Championship, but he won here a few

131
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 4: years ago. I just I mean, Noah is the only

132
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 4: other guy here in the group that I could see winning.

133
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 4: But I'm gonna go with DJ.

134
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, like I said, I want Bobby Mack. I

135
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 3: don't love it. I may switch to NAB by the

136
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: time we get there. I just don't like how DJ's

137
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 3: playing Group sixteen Sun Jam, Victor Perez, Mark Leishman, Russell Henley.

138
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 3: I'll call this the underrated ball striker group. I was

139
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 3: hoping to have an easier road to the Sweet sixteen

140
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: for Victor Perez, coming off a ninth place finish after

141
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: making the cut on the number at the Players Championship.

142
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 3: This isn't the easiest road, but I still like it.

143
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: I still think Victor Perez, not getting enough love from

144
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 3: the mar could place. He's one twenty five to win.

145
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna win the whole thing. But

146
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 3: I think he can advance here and maybe even get

147
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 3: into the quarters or semi finals this week. Who do

148
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: you like in this one?

149
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, how about Perez being the second

150
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: highest seated player in that group with the names Mark

151
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 4: Leishman and Russell Henley. Perez is actually the second seed

152
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 4: in that group, behind Sung Jay. I'm going to go

153
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 4: with Mark Leishman. He's made it out of pool play

154
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 4: three times since twenty fifteen, since the pool play era started,

155
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 4: per se in that timeframe, he missed his last cuts.

156
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 4: I really don't care. I think match plays is a

157
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 4: totally different animal. He's a guy who's had a lot of

158
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 4: success in his career in this format. Sung JM And

159
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 4: Russell Henley two guys who had really good weeks of

160
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 4: the Honda Classic top ten finishes there. Totally different golf

161
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: course here, though, So I'm gonna stick with Mark Leishman

162
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 4: to get out of that group.

163
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: All right, Moving on to group eight, we are we

164
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 3: have not agreed on either of the first two groups yet.

165
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: We'll see if we get one at some point. Group

166
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: eight Gerald Hatton, Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia, Matt Wallace. This

167
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: looks like a practice round like Wednesday afternoon at Whistling Straits,

168
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: heywhere we go out in our four ball pairings and

169
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: knock it around a little bit with the European team.

170
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: I'm going with the I guess he's not the senior mode.

171
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: I looked at it like the senior most player in

172
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: this thing, but Lee Westwood is, of course, so I

173
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 3: guess the second most senior player in this thing. Sergio Garcia.

174
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: I love his form, he was first round leader at

175
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: the players he finished T. Nine. I love his experience

176
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 3: that he's making his eighteenth career start in this event.

177
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 3: And I love the fact that he's playing a home

178
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: game just like you. He lives in or around Austin, Texas.

179
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: Maybe just go knock on the door. See always feeling.

180
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 4: For me the FACO texts at this point for sure,

181
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 4: I like, you know, we found a guy that we

182
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 4: pick here with the same one. Yeah, I'm going with

183
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 4: Sergio Garcia as well. He's reached around to sixteen to

184
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 4: seven times in his career in this event. The only

185
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 4: player to do it more often is Tiger Woods, who's

186
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: one at eight times. You mentioned that virtual home course advantage.

187
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 4: He's kind of happen this week one of the most

188
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 4: prolific match play guys in the last quarter centuries. You know,

189
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 4: Whilea's missed the cut last week at the Honda, Westwood

190
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 4: has kind of said he's out of gas, which I

191
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 4: could totally believe. Forty eight contending week after week, you know,

192
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 4: by process of elimination. You know, tiro Hatt obviously a

193
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: world class player, but I'll go with Sergio to get

194
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 4: out of this whistling straits four ball we've got for

195
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 4: Team Europe.

196
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, pretty cool. I know they didn't do it

197
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 3: on purpose, but it's cool anyway. Group nine not another one.

198
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 3: Not the best group here, Web Simpson who's had some

199
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: struggles in this event. Paul Casey, who's played well, Mackenzie Hughes,

200
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: Taylor Gooch. I was tempted to go Gouch here. He's

201
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: played well recently, especially at the Players was in contention.

202
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: Hughes really good punter. It's just it's Paul Casey, isn't it.

203
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's Paul Casey for me too. I mean, another

204
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 4: guy who's made the round of sixteen seven different times

205
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 4: in his career, type for second most all time. Four

206
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 4: straight top tens on the PGA Tour, entering this week

207
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 4: tied for fifth of the players. Got to love his

208
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 4: form twelfth or better in all six of his starts worldwide.

209
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 4: I see where you were going on, Gooch. I mean you, basically,

210
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 4: if you want to fill out a bracket and you

211
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 4: want to go by the probabilities and odds of who's

212
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 4: historically moved on, you're gonna you got to pick some

213
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 4: guys fifty and lower to move on. Seven different times

214
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 4: since this event has gone to Austin, a player seated

215
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 4: fiftieth or lower has made the quarterfinals. So I see

216
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 4: where you're going where you've got to kind of pick

217
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 4: one of those guys to make a run. I've got

218
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 4: a few of mine a little bit later on in

219
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 4: the bracket, but yeah, I'm with you. Paul Casey's to

220
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 4: pick here?

221
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. Group four Colin Morrikawa, Billy Horschell, Max Homa JT posting.

222
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 3: We saw Morikawa sort of give Horschell the Heisman on

223
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: Sunday afternoon of the Concession in the last WGC that

224
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 3: was played about a month ago. I love Billy in

225
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: this format. I've always thought you'd be a really fun

226
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 3: guy to watching a Ryder Cup because he is so fiery,

227
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: so emotional on the golf course. But again, I just

228
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 3: feel like it's the same thing. Colin Morkaw is just

229
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 3: too good. I know he hasn't played much match play,

230
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 3: really any match play as a professional, but I don't

231
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: think it's gonna matter much in this one.

232
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 4: Fourth all overall seed, Colin Morkaw the highest ranked player

233
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 4: to make his debut since the nineteen ninety nine match Play,

234
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 4: the first edition of this tournament. I'm gonna steer away

235
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 4: from Colin. What's that Jeff Maggert year, Yeah, yeah, exactly so.

236
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 4: But to have a rookie be that high, highly seeded, obviously,

237
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 4: it's a product, the weird product of the pandemic. And

238
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 4: then Colin wins a DG Championship now WGC on top

239
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 4: of that, so a weird way to get there. But

240
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 4: I'm actually gonna steer away from marcoo here. I'm gonna

241
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 4: go with the player who's been really hot here the

242
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 4: last few months, playing the best golf of his pro

243
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 4: career so far. I'm gonna pick Max Homer. There's some

244
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 4: unknown there in that group, but you know, four top

245
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 4: twenty five's in Max's last five starts, including that winn

246
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 4: at Riviera, tie for tenth place at bay Hill. I'm

247
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 4: gonna stick with Home and he's making his debut in

248
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 4: this event. But I say he gets out of it

249
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 4: and gets to the round of sixteen.

250
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't mind that. Obviously has been really good.

251
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 3: I think people are waiting for, like, when's the home

252
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 3: a hot streak gonna end? And it's like, maybe it's

253
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: just a really good player.

254
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 4: I mean maybe na Champion. You know he's a solid

255
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 4: player more.

256
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 3: Than just a roasties swing on social media guy. So

257
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 3: group thirteen another one that you know it looks a

258
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 3: little top heavy. Victor Hoveland, Abraham Answer, Burned Weisberger, and

259
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 3: Kevin Streilman. I've got this one coming down to the

260
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 3: Friday afternoon match. Wouldn't surprise me if Hoveland an Answer

261
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 3: or each two to zero going into their matchup on Friday.

262
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: I've got Answer coming out on top. I just I'm

263
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: a huge Abraham Answer fan. I think he's got a

264
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: ton of game, and I think that maybe the format

265
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: of this one in that he doesn't have to climb

266
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: a leaderboard and beat a whole bunch of other really

267
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 3: good players in order to get a high finish here.

268
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: He just has to beat the guy in front of

269
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 3: him each round. I think that'll help him out. So

270
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: I've got him over Hobland to this one.

271
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 4: I'm with you too. It was for me it was

272
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 4: down to Hoveland and Answer, but just images of the

273
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 4: best moment so far of Abraham ANSWER's career kept popping

274
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 4: in my head, and that was his performance at the

275
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 4: President's Cup. He went three to one and one. He

276
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 4: was the best player for most of the week for

277
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 4: the international side. You know, Hobblin being a rookie in

278
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 4: this event, you can kind of you know, I don't

279
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 4: want to have too many of these guys from the

280
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 4: number one seeded group. Since the pool play began, it's

281
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 4: about thirty seven percent of the top seeded players have

282
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 4: advanced out of pool play in their group. So you're

283
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 4: looking at not too much higher than just a one

284
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 4: and four chance. So I don't want to pick all

285
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 4: top seeded guys. I don't want to go all chalk,

286
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 4: And there's reasons to like Answer second and fair we

287
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 4: hit this season sixteenth and greens in regulation. I'm with you.

288
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 4: I could see him both being two and zero going

289
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 4: into that match and Answer winning and moving on.

290
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 3: All right, we're greeing way too much. We need to

291
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 3: find some disagreements here. Group five, sext one, I think

292
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 3: we're going to disagree. Come going a little bit off

293
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 3: the board, okay, Group five, Yes, I know where you're

294
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 3: going here. Brycing de Shambo, Tommy Fleetwood, Seewoo, Kim Antwine Rosner.

295
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: You know all about how Bryson is going to ow

296
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: an advantage hitting it so far past his opponents that

297
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: he's going to be able to see their second shots

298
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: in before he hits his. And I do think that's

299
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 3: a big advantage. I do think that in match play

300
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 3: he's going to know whether he has to go pin

301
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 3: seeking or he can just hit one in the middle

302
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: of the green because the other guy has missed the green.

303
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 3: And so I think that's a major advantage for Bryson.

304
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: You're a still going to hear about how Tommy Fleetwood

305
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 3: doesn't care and has gone up against all sorts of

306
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 3: styles of players and showing it in the Ryder Cup

307
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 3: and showing it another events that he's a really good

308
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 3: match play player. I'm going to take the speed and

309
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 3: length over the experience, and I'll take Bryson here Okay.

310
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: So, like I said, statistically, you've got to have somebody

311
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 4: really down on the leader board. And it feels like

312
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 4: every year the WC match play, there's an international player

313
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 4: that seemingly comes out of nowhere and plays really well, like, hey,

314
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 4: that's a Tonahara. A few years ago, Lucas Bierregard knocked

315
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 4: off Tiger Woods in the round of eight. Last year

316
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 4: or two years ago the last time, mister Spelt, I

317
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 4: gotta go with somebody down on the board. I'm gonna

318
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 4: go with this Antwine Rosner character. I don't know a

319
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 4: ton about him, but I know he won the Cutter

320
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 4: Masters two weeks ago. He has two wins in his

321
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 4: last six starts worldwide going back to last year. That

322
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 4: includes a ninth against a strong field in Dubai a

323
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 4: sixteenth in Abu Dhabi. I've got to fill out the

324
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 4: board with someone way down there. Why not this super underdog,

325
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 4: the Oral Roberts of the bracket, mister Antoine Rosner. I

326
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 4: know there's not a lot in common between a French

327
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 4: golfer on the European Tour at Oral Roberts University. That's

328
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 4: the kind of content you get here on this podcast.

329
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,359
Speaker 3: Oral Rosner.

330
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 4: There you go.

331
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 3: I like it as you were talking there, and I

332
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 3: didn't get a chance to get to it, but I

333
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 3: was gonna look up if Rosner has actually played in

334
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 3: a PGA Tour sanctioned event before, maybe an Open Championship,

335
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 3: which of course is PGA Tour sanctioned, but obviously not

336
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 3: on us soil. I'm not sure. I mean, he could

337
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 3: be walking into a maelstrom of like, wow, you guys

338
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: put a lot of cheese on your food and things

339
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 3: like that that the Europeans always seemed to complain about

340
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 3: as much ice in my glass. It'll be interesting to

341
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 3: see him over here playing. I do think he's a

342
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 3: good player, though, and he's proven it on the European Tour,

343
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 3: so I like the the big plus money pick in

344
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 3: Group five.

345
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,760

Speaker 5: Thanks for listening. Now back to the show.

375
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 3: Group twelve. Tony fen Now, Jason Cochrack, Will Zalatoris, Dylan Fortelly.

376
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: Give me your big hitting shot makers in this one.

377
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 3: Feenw's got obviously a ton of offensive firepower.

378
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: Tonya Jason Kokrak very quietly, three top tens in a

379
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: row for Telly, I was hoping would get into a

380
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: group that didn't have a couple of studs in there,

381
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: because he is an Austin resident now went to Texas.

382
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 3: I think he would make some noise if he was

383
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 3: against some guys who weren't as good as the guys

384
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 3: he's playing against. But my guy here is Zala Taurus.

385
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 3: He's not a great putter, but he is a great

386
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 3: ball striker. He's just going to be in every hole

387
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 3: of every match. He's not going to take himself out

388
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 3: of anything, and I think that's going to lead to

389
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 3: some well thought wins against these other three players.

390
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 4: I'm with you here too. I'm going with will Zalataurs

391
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 4: as well. He has the most top tens and the

392
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 4: most top twenty fives worldwide of any player since the

393
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 4: beginning of twenty twenty fourth on the PGA towards strokes, gain, approach,

394
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 4: fourth and Tita Green. He is not going to hit

395
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 4: himself out of any of these matches. He's the most

396
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 4: consistent young player in the sport. I think it's just

397
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 4: a matter of time where he breaks through with a

398
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 4: couple of victories for Tally was tempting here for me too.

399
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 4: He did win a national championship with the Longhorns back

400
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 4: in the day in his amateur career. But I'm gonna

401
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 4: go xal Toarris as well.

402
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 3: Wow, we agree on Zala trus Group two. Justin Thomas,

403
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 3: eustas In, Kevin Kisner, Matt Koocher. Now, I read a

404
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 3: very interesting tweet from Justin Ray earlier today that said

405
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 3: five players reached the round of sixteen in each of

406
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 3: the last two editions of the match play in twenty

407
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 3: eighteen twenty nineteen. Three of them are in this group

408
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 3: and none of them were named Justin Thomas, and so

409
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 3: there's some course history. I don't know if you knew

410
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: any of this, but apparently someone I love to follow.

411
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 4: That Justin Ray character. That sounds like a real just

412
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 4: a This is a really creative and espousing source of

413
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 4: information that could be very helpful.

414
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 3: I mean, if I'm gonna blatantly rip off your stuff,

415
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: at least I can credit you, right, you know.

416
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 4: Okay, Hey, it's appreciated. Not everyone does that, So no, I.

417
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 3: Thought that was great and it was really smart, and

418
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 3: it was great to look at that. And I love

419
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 3: the fact that those three guys have found some success

420
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 3: on this golf course and they're not beating Justin Thomas.

421
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 4: I'm going the same way. I loved it. I loved

422
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 4: that I found that out and I was like, so,

423
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 4: of course JT's gonna win, right, I mean, after I

424
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 4: extract that fact. Thomas is just he struck the ball

425
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 4: so well with the players. I mean, it was just

426
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 4: an absolute stripe show. I can't pick against him. You know,

427
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 4: he's kind of been pedestrian in this particular event in

428
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 4: his career. It's match records just seven to seven and zero,

429
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 4: but remember the Reiner and the President's Cups. His combined

430
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 4: record is ten to three and two. Like he's he's

431
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 4: been a stud. He looks like the guy who's going

432
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 4: to carry the Americans and team events moving forward. If

433
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 4: I was to bet on any one guy to bank

434
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 4: on that, he struggle on holes fourteen through eighteen here

435
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 4: in twenty nineteen, didn't make a single birdie on those

436
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 4: holes all week. So but you know, I can't pick

437
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 4: against him and not turn that around. I'm going with

438
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 4: JT as well. We've got we've got a lot of

439
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 4: common threads here. Man, all right, I'll worry.

440
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 3: By the way, on bet MGM. I believe JT is

441
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 3: plus one thirty to get out of this group. I

442
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 3: absolutely love that number. Another one uh that you might

443
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 3: not have had. JT has as many top three finishes

444
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 3: this year as the other three players in his group

445
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 3: have top ten finishes this year combined.

446
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 4: Just speaks to how good he's been. Man, Just really,

447
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 4: I know the past success in this event. It's not

448
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 4: always super predictive. Kissner is the guy I love in

449
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 4: any match play situation. M h. Not really the same

450
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 4: player he has been in the last four to six years.

451
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 4: I just I'm with you. I can't see anybody beating JT.

452
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and neither is Kooch or Coucher is not the

453
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 3: same player, and oustays and I've given up. I'm not

454
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 3: betting us days anymore. You have two chances to lose

455
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 3: if you bet on him. One is he just doesn't

456
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: play well. One is he doesn't play at all. And

457
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 3: so for a guy that withdraws from tournaments as much

458
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: as he does, you could certainly see him saying on Friday, hey,

459
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 3: I'm oh one and one and I'm hurt a little bit.

460
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 3: I don't want to, you know, overdo it and just

461
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 3: not playing around.

462
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 4: So look, the man travels with his own special mattress

463
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 4: for his back, like it's it's problematic because I'm a

464
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 4: guy with a terrible back too. You don't know. Some days,

465
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 4: I'm one bad move from being down for the count

466
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 4: for two weeks, and I feel like he's probably in

467
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 4: that same kind of boat.

468
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 3: I hear you, I hear you. Group fifteen, Matt don't

469
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 3: call me Matthew Fitzpatrick, Matthew, don't call me Matt Wolfe,

470
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 3: Corey Connors and Jordan Speed. I can't wait for that

471
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 3: Fitzpatrick wolf match when they walk down the fairway arguing

472
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: over what the better first name is Matthew or Matt

473
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: because Fitzpatrick true story he has told the PGA Tour

474
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 3: he does not want to be referred to as Matthew anymore.

475
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 3: He's now just Matt Fitzpatrick. All of that said, I'm

476
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 3: taking Jordan Speed. I think his format is fantastic for him.

477
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 3: The big numbers don't hurt as much. The birdies and

478
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 3: bunches Matt are a lot, and he's back in Austin

479
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 3: hometown of ut where he should have some good vibes

480
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 3: for sure.

481
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 4: Speith as well as he's played. He's the fourth seeded

482
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 4: player in this group right, he's from the Group four,

483
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 4: the worst seed. He's forty ninth overall. But the way

484
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 4: he's been playing the last month or so, if we're

485
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 4: keeping all these basketball analogies going with the tournament, speaks

486
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 4: like a top twenty team in the kim Pom rankings.

487
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 4: That the committee has made a thirteen seed. They've really

488
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 4: underseed like. And it's no fault of the setup of

489
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 4: this term. But that is a tough drog. I mean,

490
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 4: you and I talked about it last week. I think

491
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 4: even you know anybody who drew Jordan in this series.

492
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 4: I mean, look, he's the fan favorite in this town

493
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 4: and there's there's not a close second place. He's the guy,

494
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 4: so there's gonna be fans out there. This week, limited

495
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 4: numbers was still a presence. I'm picking Jordan's speak to

496
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 4: get out of this group as well. I think he's

497
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 4: gonna have a great week.

498
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: If Antoine Rosner is Oral Roberts, does that make Jordan's

499
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 3: speed Loyola Loyola yeahs will come out there and help

500
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 3: him out.

501
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 4: I could see speed beating in anybody don't even get

502
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 4: any given day, just like I could see, you know,

503
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 4: loyal and winning the whole thing.

504
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. By the way, because you mentioned Lucas Bureguard who

505
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 3: finished in fourth place a couple of years ago. Uh,

506
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 3: this could have been one of our five questions because

507
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 3: we're going to get to the five questions and just

508
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 3: a couple of minutes here. But I will ask you

509
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: now because I asked this of Michael Collins, my co

510
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 3: host on Hitting the Green on Serious x MPG, to

511
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 3: a radio earlier today. Do you have a better chance

512
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 3: at spelling Chris John biz widen Out or Lucas burey Guard.

513
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 4: I think I can do both. Yeah, but I'll pick

514
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 4: the aer Guard because I feel pretty.

515
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 3: Confident that I can do both.

516
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 4: For you to step on.

517
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 3: You and I spend yeah, you and I spent too

518
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 3: much time like writing out players names like this and more.

519
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 3: I you know, we're not We're not the sample size

520
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 3: to be giving this question to Collins had no shot

521
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: at either. Uh double a in Chris John and in

522
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 3: your guard, I think is what most people would trip

523
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 3: over for sure.

524
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 4: Now, if you've got to get you know I always

525
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 4: missed like the Tilda's and the different aspects to the Yeah,

526
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 4: then you're throwing it all in a loop because I've

527
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 4: got no idea. I'm so, I'm way too Americanized to

528
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 4: know all the nuances there. But I think I could

529
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 4: get beer Guard Brazoon and how there's that's a lot

530
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 4: of vows.

531
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 3: Man, I don't know.

532
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 4: I'm probably I'm looking at it right now and I

533
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 4: don't think I can go.

534
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,719
Speaker 3: I think you'd get it. By the way, in the

535
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 3: PGA Tours show revealing all the Brackets, our boy Jonathan

536
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 3: Coachman referred to him just as Christian. I can't say

537
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 3: his last name, Christian b. It just went on from there.

538
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 3: I need to even try. I was like, that's great,

539
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna steal that move. So we got Patrick Reid,

540
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 3: Jakee Neiman, Christian Bee, and Bubba Watson. It's a Ryder

541
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 3: Cup here. Patrick Reed loves this stuff. He gets fired

542
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 3: up for it.

543
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 4: I think Ms.

544
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 3: Widenhout is a good player, and I think this could

545
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 3: be a good format for him, but I'm sticking with Reid.

546
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 4: I was kind of tempted to go with Bubba Watson

547
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 4: here because he's got a lot of like a sneaky

548
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 4: strong record, including winning this event a couple of years ago.

549
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 4: But I'm not going to overthink this. This is Patrick Reed.

550
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 4: This is his group to win. Like you said, in

551
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 4: a Ryder Cup year, we know what he's been capable

552
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 4: of the match play throughout his career. I also think

553
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 4: he's at a point in his career where he is

554
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 4: his gab will arc towards Augusta National, and I think

555
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 4: that's probably where he is in his game right now.

556
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 4: Had the big win at Tory Pines earlier this year.

557
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 4: I'm picking Reid. We've got another similar player on the

558
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 4: round of sixteen.

559
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 3: Line, Okay, I think we can get a different one here.

560
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 3: Group ten. Patrick can't ley Hideki Mountsuyama, Carlos Ortiz, Brian Harmon.

561
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 3: Three very sort of level headed guys on the golf course.

562
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 3: Three guys who don't show a whole lot of emotion

563
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 3: out there and can't lay Mount Suyama and Ortiz. Now

564
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 3: there's Brian Harmon, who's sort of like a mini Kisner,

565
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 3: is a figurative bulldog and an actual bulldog. Played at Uga.

566
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 3: Coming off of T three at the Players, I'm gonna

567
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 3: go with the pool d player, the deflight player in

568
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 3: this thing in Brian Harmon, just nipping at the heels

569
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 3: of the other three guys in.

570
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 4: This thing, and just as you tee it up as

571
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 4: we're gonna have a different player here. The name written

572
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 4: down on my sheet highlighted is mister Brian Harmon. He's

573
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 4: made one appearance in this golf tournament. It was in

574
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen, got to the round of sixteen. He's in

575
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 4: the top twenty five on the PGA Tour of the

576
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 4: Season strokes Game, putting his best ranking in that statistic

577
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 4: in the last five years. Coming off a tie for

578
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 4: third at the Players. Thirteen mad cuts in fourteen starts

579
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 4: this year, I think he's having kind of a renaissance

580
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 4: year in his career. I think he picks off a

581
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 4: win this summer at some point, not necessarily this week,

582
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 4: but I pick Brian Harmon the d player to get

583
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 4: it out of that group too.

584
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 3: I can't believe you're we do not share those beforehand or.

585
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 4: Maybe research backet, none of that stuff.

586
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 3: All right, here's we're gonna have those. I have a

587
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 3: feeling we're gonna go in the same direction here. Group three,

588
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 3: John Rahm and Palmer Shane Lowry Sebastian Muno's Shane Lowry

589
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 3: is dead to me after he was my favorite outright

590
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 3: play last week in the Honda Classic, got himself into

591
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 3: second place on the weekend at one point on Saturday

592
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 3: and finished in thirty eighth or something like that. I

593
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 3: don't know. I stopped paying attention to him. I erased

594
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 3: him from every leaderboard. You know. You can, like on

595
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 3: the PGA Tour leaderboard, you can go a star next

596
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 3: to the guy's name, like he's one of your favorites,

597
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 3: and you can follow him. So it's great for betting

598
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 3: on players when when you're betting on a guy, you

599
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 3: can have a star and then you can watch him

600
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: a little more closely. I want something opposite of that,

601
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 3: where it just erases his name completely and I never

602
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 3: have to see him for a little bit. Not not

603
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 3: for good, but give me a few weeks off of

604
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 3: Shane Lowry, please if there's one of that.

605
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 4: Feeling, because I do the same thing on the app.

606
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 4: When you wake up Saturday morning or like sometime early

607
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 4: in the day Saturday, you open up the app and

608
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 4: you've got like five of your six dudes have got

609
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 4: next to their name. You're like just unstarring the fallen

610
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 4: soldiers for the next two days.

611
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 3: That's when you make your weekend lineup.

612
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 4: They can star them and make your weekend lineups and

613
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 4: you feel.

614
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 3: Good about yourself. They all made the cut because you're

615
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: picking guys just for the weekend.

616
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 4: So did you make your pick or did you just

617
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 4: just throw Shane Lowry not make a pick.

618
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 3: I just buried Shane Lowry for a bit. By the way,

619
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 3: one positive from Shane Lowry. Padrick Harrington did a wrap

620
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 3: up video of his week. He was at Shane Lowry's

621
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 3: house and towards the end of the video where Padrick

622
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 3: was you know, talking about the course and how he

623
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 3: played and you know, very Golfye type stuff. Shane Lowry,

624
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 3: fully dressed, does a cannon ball into his pool in

625
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 3: the background, So he got back my good graces just

626
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 3: a little bit based on that, and I'm taking John Ram.

627
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 3: How's that?

628
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,959
Speaker 4: That's good Juju moving forward? The cannon ball fully closed,

629
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 4: that's good. That's good for vibes with the Ryder Cup

630
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 4: captain there with him. Yeah, I'm picking Rom as well.

631
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 4: I have Rom winning the tournament this week as we

632
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 4: as we move forward. Disclosure there made it to the

633
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 4: final here a few years ago in his debut seven

634
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 4: four and two match record, despite not getting out of

635
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 4: pool play in twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen. Obviously, we

636
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 4: talk about this guy every week, no weakness, does everything well,

637
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 4: six top ten finishes in his last eight starts worldwide.

638
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 4: I really like the way that the bracket works out

639
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 4: for Rom. I feel very good about the other biggest

640
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 4: names in his kind of region. If you will, you know,

641
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 4: I don't have Burger moving on. Xander Rory has been

642
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 4: playing well. I think it sets up really well for

643
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 4: John Ram and the bracket, and I've got him moving on.

644
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. I thought for about three seconds that you know,

645
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 3: Ryan Palmer was playing partner as actual partner, not just

646
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 3: playing partner at the Zuri Classic where they won together.

647
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 3: If some guy's gonna sort of know his little secrets

648
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 3: and not be scared to go knock him off, it

649
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 3: could be Palmer. I don't think that matters though. I

650
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 3: just think John Rom's too good for this one. Group fourteen.

651
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 3: You mentioned Daniel Berger coming back in theory after that

652
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 3: rib injury last week. We'll see if he actually teas

653
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:55,479
Speaker 3: it up. Harris English, Brendan Todd, Eric Van Royan. I

654
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 3: hate this group. I don't want to pick anybody, but

655
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 3: since we have to pick somebody, I don't want Burger

656
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 3: off the injury. Harris English has done nothing since winning

657
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 3: at Kapolua. Brendan Todd has done not much this year.

658
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 3: He's I can see him winning. This group doesn't have

659
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 3: a top ten yet this year. Eric Van Royan has

660
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 3: been very disappointing. I'm officially on the record as taking

661
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 3: Van Ryan, but I could be talked into Todd here

662
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 3: as well.

663
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I went through the same process of elimination you did.

664
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 4: The Burger injury scares me there. You can see him

665
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 4: depending on how strong he feels. W Dan a couple

666
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 4: weeks from the Masters. You'd imagine he's not gonna butch

667
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 4: it if he can't go. Harris English hasn't played in

668
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 4: this tournament in six years and doesn't have a top

669
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 4: twenty five since Maui. Brendan Todd doesn't have a top

670
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 4: ten since December. So I said, I like to have

671
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 4: a couple of guys fifty five to sixty four moving on,

672
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 4: and that's where Eric van Royan fits him.

673
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 3: Wow.

674
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 4: I don't feel awesome about it, but I'm picking Eric

675
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 4: to move on out of his group.

676
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 3: You and I have way too many similar picks without

677
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 3: having spoken to each other at all. Group six, you

678
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 3: say Shoffley Scheffler five times.

679
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 4: Fast, Doffley Scheffler, Shoffley Chef.

680
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 3: No, yeah, no, is he gonna have it? Okay? Wow?

681
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 3: The over under. I'm justin rays two and a half.

682
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 3: Shoffley Scheffler's there with Jason Day and Andy Sullivan. I'm

683
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 3: not taking Shaffley or Scheffler. Jason Day quietly having a

684
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 3: really nice year, sort of a little renaissance of his own.

685
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 3: He's won this event both twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen,

686
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 3: the letter of which was at Austin Country Club. The

687
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 3: three years he played since then, nothing great, but still,

688
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 3: like I said, playing sneakily good golf so far this year.

689
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 4: I'll take him, all right, So I also have Day,

690
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 4: but I'm scratching it out because I don't like that

691
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 4: we have the same player. Yeah, every time we go

692
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 4: through this, this is getting ridiculous. I'm gonna go now

693
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 4: on the fly call it audible at the line of scrimmage. Scrimmage, Omaha, omaha.

694
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 4: I'll go with the longhorned Scottie Scheffler solely because I

695
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 4: have to give a reason to pick one of these

696
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 4: other guys, and I want to audible off of Jason

697
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 4: Day for the sake of changing it up.

698
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 3: So well. I hope Day wins this whole thing now

699
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 3: and ruins your bracket just because you picked it. You

700
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: didn't pick him because I have him.

701
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 4: Ye.

702
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 3: Getting to the last group, Group eleven, Rory McIlroy. Some

703
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 3: news coming out of reported by James Corgan of The Examiner,

704
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 3: I believe said that Rory McElroy is going to start

705
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 3: working with noted swing instructor Pete Cowen. I know he's

706
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 3: kind of gone to Cowen a few times, just sort

707
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 3: of Hey, what do you think? But this seems like

708
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 3: more of a definitive partnership. That said, I don't see

709
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 3: that paying dividends right away, and Rory did not seem

710
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 3: like he was on his game last time we saw him.

711
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 3: He is with Cameron Smith, Lonto Griven and Ian Poulter

712
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 3: in his a Ryder Cup year, so you'd think Poulter

713
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 3: would be fired up for this, But I think this

714
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 3: is a good spot for Cameron Smith right here.

715
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 4: I have Cameron Smith as well. It hurts, Now, this

716
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 4: doesn't hurt because you have the same pick. Two of

717
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 4: my favorite players to watch in match play, especially at

718
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 4: the right Cup are Rory and Ian Poulter. Just they're

719
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 4: so exciting and so many big moments over the years

720
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 4: in the Ryder Cup. But I'll take Cambra Smith top

721
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 4: twenty on tour this season in scoring average. You know,

722
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 4: won that big singles match in the President's Cup against

723
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 4: Justin Thomas. That's probably my favorite moment from his career

724
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 4: so far as a professional. So I've got Camra Smith

725
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 4: moving on as well. I'm glad i audibled out of

726
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 4: out of the day or else we would have like

727
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 4: this whole side of that this whole region we have

728
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 4: the same.

729
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow, sorry, folks, we did not mean to do this.

730
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 3: We started off with the first two groups and we

731
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 3: had nothing the same, and I'm like, man, we don't

732
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 3: agree on anything. And then we proceeded to agree on

733
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 3: twelve to the next fourteen or something.

734
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 4: Antwon Rosner, Come on, baby, let's go. Let's have a

735
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 4: career week in Austin, Texas. I'll buy you a barbecue brown.

736
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 4: Let's do it.

737
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 3: By the way, and for those listening, remember it is

738
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 3: a Wednesday start this week, not Thursday. I believe the

739
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 3: first match kicking things off on Wednesday morning is Rory

740
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 3: mclory and Ian Poulter getting things started. So it could

741
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 3: be some really firework. Yeah that could be really good.

742
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to it. We won't go through

743
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 3: like the whole round of sixteen in quarters and semis,

744
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 3: but just give me your final four and your overall

745
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 3: winner of this thing.

746
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 4: I got Sergio Garcia making a run to the final four.

747
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 4: I love him in this spot, especially you know living

748
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 4: he's going to sleep in his own bed all week.

749
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 4: I got will Zala Torris having a big week here.

750
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 4: I think this is his introduction. You know, if you're

751
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 4: a golf fan, you know who this kid is because

752
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 4: of how consistent he's been over the last year and

753
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 4: a half two years, climbing up the ranks. But I

754
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 4: got will Zala Torris in the final four. I got

755
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 4: Patrick Reid making a Ryder Cup esque type performance yep,

756
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 4: but getting knocked off by John Ram in the semi finals.

757
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 4: And I've got John rom winning the whole thing. All right.

758
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 3: I like those a lot. I am not too far

759
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 3: away from you. I've got Abraham Answer and Jason Day

760
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 3: each reaching the semi finals. I've got Jordan Speith as

761
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 3: sorry to do this to your team, Speif, but another

762
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 3: heartbreaker for Jordan he will lose in the final to

763
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 3: my overall winner, Sergio Garcia.

764
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 4: That's a local showdown basically exact. I mean Sergio and

765
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 4: Georgian's is basically a hometown boy.

766
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, exactly. I mean it's you know, it's ut

767
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 3: against the resident. It's you know, hey, let's talk barbecue

768
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 3: and let's talk about what's going on in the city.

769
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think it's gonna be good. I will

770
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 3: say this one thing. Two years ago, we saw Kevin

771
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 3: Kisner as we mentioned he was sixty to one. Bubba

772
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 3: Watson the year before was fifty to one. What that's

773
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 3: proven is you can dig a little deep here. I

774
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 3: don't know that I would be going after Antoine Rosner

775
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 3: to win this whole thing. No offense. I'm a sixteen.

776
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 4: I got him in the round of sixteen, that's it.

777
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 3: But no, seriously, I do think that you can chase

778
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 3: a couple of prices this week. So Sergio at I

779
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 3: believe forty to one he has opened at I like

780
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 3: that number. I like going after speak John Ram certainly

781
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 3: not a bad play. He's never a bad play. Let's

782
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 3: get to our five questions before we make a DFS lineup,

783
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 3: which who knows how that's gonna go this week? Talk

784
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 3: about well, I mean, based.

785
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 4: On our in Sebbatico pick so far, it's gonna be

786
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 4: pretty turnkey.

787
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 3: I think that. Yeah, I just I'm trying to figure

788
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 3: out how this DFS thing's gonna work. So five questions,

789
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 3: I'm asking your answering.

790
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: Five minutes, five questions you never asked.

791
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 4: I gotta be honest.

792
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 2: I get a little irritated when somebody called me away

793
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 2: from my golf.

794
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: This is five under.

795
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 3: Number one. Other than the Writer and President's Cup. Every year,

796
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 3: the world's top players compete in one match play event

797
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 3: each year. Is that number too many, not enough or

798
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 3: just right?

799
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 4: A good question. I would love to see maybe one more,

800
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 4: you know, maybe sometime at the maybe opposite half of

801
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 4: the schedule. I know the European Tour is the Paul

802
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 4: Louri match Play, which doesn't attract a super elite field,

803
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 4: but it's always a fun event and it's usually played

804
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 4: in a link I'll set up as you imagine Paul

805
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 4: Lloyd from Scotland. It would be you know, I love

806
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 4: watching match play. I think if we have too much

807
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 4: of it, it might you know, be a little bit

808
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 4: of overkill, you know. I think maybe they could have

809
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 4: some kind of combination stroke match play for the Zurich

810
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 4: and I think it might be fun if they if

811
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 4: they kind of turn that into sort of a hybrid event,

812
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 4: that might be a good spot. But yeah, I'd love

813
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 4: to see one more, especially with the world's best players.

814
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 3: My problem with it has always been that it's the

815
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 3: inverted pyramid of golf tournaments. And that's a journalism term.

816
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 3: When you're as you know, people listening might not know,

817
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 3: but it's you know, get all your who, what, when, where, why,

818
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 3: how in the top of the story and then kind

819
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 3: of work your way down from there. And so I

820
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 3: always felt like it was the only tournament of the

821
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 3: year that was more exciting on day one than the

822
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 3: final day. You know, we're all excited about Hey, Thursday morning,

823
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 3: it's Masters. You know, the Masters is starting and the

824
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 3: guys are out there and it's great, but it ain't

825
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 3: better than the back nine on Sunday. So the match

826
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 3: play was the one where it's like, Wednesday afternoon, man,

827
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 3: this is so cool. There are all these matches, there's

828
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 3: so much stuff going on, and then you get to

829
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 3: Sunday and you're like, Henrik Stenson and Jeff Ogelvie are

830
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 3: still walking down the fairway five minutes later, and you're like,

831
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 3: let's go, guys. I mean, it's just not that exciting.

832
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 3: People who say they'd like to see a major championship

833
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 3: like the PGA as a matchplay event, it's just trust me.

834
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 3: You say that, and it gets to the weekend and

835
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 3: if it's not Rory and DJM in the Sunday final,

836
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,919
Speaker 3: you're just not paying as much attention as you think

837
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 3: you would. So based on that question number two. Are

838
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 3: you a round robin guy or a single elimination guy?

839
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 4: You know, I was really skeptical of the round robin

840
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 4: format when it started. I don't think it's totally won

841
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 4: me over. I think I see a lot of positives

842
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 4: in it now. I think the field is inherently stronger

843
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 4: because you're promised three days. Something like twenty seven percent

844
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 4: of the players to move on from pool play lost

845
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 4: a match at one point in those first three days,

846
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 4: so you I think the po play promises a stronger

847
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 4: field overall, a year after year, there'd be few guys

848
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 4: dropping out. That being said, the excitement of that one

849
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 4: and done type feel that first Wednesday of match play

850
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 4: was awesome. I mean, that was one of my favorite

851
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 4: days of the year just as a sports fan, because

852
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 4: it was so unpredictable, so much golf going on with

853
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 4: the world's best players. I'm not as anti pool play

854
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 4: as some people are, but I still would lean towards

855
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 4: the single elimination format.

856
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that if you ask most fans, they

857
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 3: would say single elimination. I think what this format tells

858
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 3: us is that the fans are pretty low on the

859
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 3: priority order it goes players and you know, they certainly

860
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 3: they have. They have given players a way to travel

861
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 3: halfway across the world and not have to leave at

862
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 3: three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon that you know, you will

863
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 3: get three full rounds of golf in if you choose

864
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 3: to make this journey here. And for some players they

865
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 3: are going halfway across the world, which I understand. They

866
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 3: do it for the TV rights holders. If you get

867
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 3: all your big names knocked out on Wednesday, it's really

868
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 3: tough to get people to watch Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

869
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 3: And so they're ensuring that they at least get those

870
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 3: guys coming back and maybe win a match Thursday and

871
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 3: Friday after losing on Wednesday and getting into the weekend.

872
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 3: And it's for the it's for the sponsors as well,

873
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 3: you know, who obviously have an investment in how the

874
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 3: ratings are and how the interest is over the weekend.

875
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm more of a single elimination guy, but

876
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 3: I think there are very good business reasons for the

877
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 3: PGA Tour to go to pool play instead. Question number three,

878
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 3: your data guy, how much can we or should we

879
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 3: read into an individual player's match play record when making

880
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 3: our picks this.

881
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 4: Week, huh. I think it may depend on the collective

882
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 4: sample size, you know. I think if you've got a

883
00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 4: player who has really established himself to overperform and matchplay situations,

884
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 4: like Ian Poulter throughout his career. Paul Casey is a

885
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 4: good example of that in this event. Patrick Reid probably

886
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 4: to a lesser extent in this tournament, but overall throughout

887
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 4: his you know, the Ryder Cup, in the President's Cup,

888
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 4: Justin Thomas has got a pretty strong, you know, match

889
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 4: play record through his success in in team events. I

890
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 4: think if you've got a larger sample size, and this

891
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 4: is the case really when you're answering any kind of question,

892
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 4: you're looking at information, you know, consider the amount of

893
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 4: rounds there, and what the difference in you know, the

894
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 4: differential might be from his baseline performance and what he's

895
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 4: shown in match play, I think you can take a

896
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 4: little bit of stock in it. But at the same time,

897
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 4: the sheer, unpredictable nature of golf makes this makes the

898
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 4: past performance and match play less predictive than I'd say

899
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 4: in some other sports. Whether you're looking at you know,

900
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 4: starting pitcher splits against certain types of hitters or quarterbacks,

901
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 4: tendencies against defenses or something like that. I think that

902
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 4: I would err on the side of where it matters

903
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 4: a little bit, and more so if there's a big

904
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 4: sample sides to drop from.

905
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, well Son, I like that a lot. Question number four.

906
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 3: You can dig this in whatever direction you would like.

907
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 3: University of Texas located of course in Austin. Who is

908
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 3: the best ever men's golfer to play at that school?

909
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 4: Oh? Wow, the best men's golfer to play at that school?

910
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 4: I mean so, I'll tell you a story real quick.

911
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 4: I used to work for a few years. I worked

912
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 4: at long Orn Network during my time at ESPN, and

913
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 4: there's a wall in the building where if a former

914
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 4: Longhorn athlete, you know, pro whatever, comes in, they sign it.

915
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 4: And so Tom Kite had come in a few weeks

916
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 4: before and signed the wall, and he was really friendly.

917
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 4: It was great to get to meet him. And a

918
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 4: few weeks later Ben Krinshaw came in and the first

919
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 4: thing Ben asked me was where did Tom sign? And

920
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 4: I showed him, Oh, mister Kite signed right here, and

921
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 4: Ben goes three inches above Tom's name and signs it

922
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 4: and it was awesome. It was my one of my

923
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 4: favorite moments that it had working in TV, because like,

924
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 4: these two dudes are still they were teammates, won a

925
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 4: national championship together, they're still going at each other. Speaks

926
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 4: on his way. I think I still have to lean Crenshaw.

927
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 4: Justin Leonard had an amazing amateur career and a pretty

928
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 4: sneaky deep pro career too. Justin Leonard's a really good player. Man.

929
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 4: I'll probably still stick with Crenshaw.

930
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 3: I will say that Ben Crenshaw also, And you know,

931
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 3: I've been around that long, but been in this business

932
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 3: for a while. Ben Crenshaw is the all time leader

933
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 3: at using your name when he doesn't know your name,

934
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 3: and like sneaking a look at your credential, so peeling

935
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 3: back the curt and you guys have all seen this

936
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 3: when you're out on the road and you know there's

937
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 3: a writer talking to players, Well, wear credential around our

938
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 3: neck and it has a picture and our name on it.

939
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 3: It says where we can go and what we can do.

940
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 3: And so on the handful of occasions that I've spoken

941
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 3: with Ben Crenshaw, he's been very, very nice and very

942
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 3: willing to talk about anything you want to talk to

943
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 3: him about, and every single time I've talked to him,

944
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 3: in the middle of a sentence, he will kind of

945
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 3: give a little look down and not enough to like

946
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 3: where he's staring at it, going who is this guy?

947
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 3: But just a little glance, and then a minute later

948
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 3: he's talking he goes, so you know Jason, and go

949
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 3: from there. He has no idea who I am, but

950
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 3: and he's done it with other people that I know

951
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 3: where he just gives that little look and then he

952
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,439
Speaker 3: brings you in as if you know, hey, we're old

953
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 3: friends here and I can use your name.

954
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 4: I know that's a veteran play. Well, that's a veteran

955
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 4: play with a media member. Ingratiate yourself by making him

956
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 4: think that you were he remembered some other time he

957
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 4: talked to you.

958
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 3: That's a great way to do, going what was that?

959
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 4: Guy's the nicest guy in the world. He'll tell you

960
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 4: anything you know that's that's perfect.

961
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:46,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't take much to win us over.

962
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. I've had nothing but good experiences with mister

963
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 4: Bridshaw over the year, not very many of them, but

964
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 4: they've always paused.

965
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, same question number five for all the players in

966
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 3: this week's field, who are listening right now. Maybe some

967
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 3: guys who you know, they don't make it out of

968
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 3: the group stage, but they want to stick around Austin

969
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 3: and hang out for a few days. You are the

970
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 3: chamber of commerce there, you are running running the city there,

971
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 3: of course, So what should they put on their to

972
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 3: do list for this weekend?

973
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 4: All right? My favorite man, I better get some free

974
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 4: meals out of this. My favorite restaurants in Austin, Texas.

975
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 4: Jack Allen's Kitchen has got three or four different locations.

976
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable American food, amazing cocktails, great unique atmosphere, really

977
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 4: cool place to eat. My two favorite barbecue places. You know,

978
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 4: Franklins gets the most loved nationally. I think President Obama visited.

979
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 4: Other presidents have been there. Franklin's is amazing. The Salt

980
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 4: Lick is also very good. It's kind of off the

981
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 4: beaten path. It's in town called Driftwood, but they have

982
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 4: you walk into the Salt Lick and there is this

983
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 4: fire meat pit thing that I can't accurately describe with

984
00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 4: mere English words. It's beauty is something that you'll carry

985
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 4: with you the rest of your life. Going forward. Nightlife,

986
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 4: I really love Rainy Street really cool area downtown. It's

987
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 4: kind of kind of lower key. You know, Sixth Street

988
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 4: is beyond the age of twenty three. You do not

989
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 4: want to be on Sixth Street. Rainy Street is more.

990
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 4: They're like houses that have been converted into bars, and

991
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 4: it's a really cool area downtown. It's walking distance from

992
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 4: a lot of the hotels. Those would be my first

993
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 4: spots if you want to go have fun and play

994
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 4: A unique golf course in the middle of downtown. I've

995
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 4: played Lions Municipal about thirty times probably in my life.

996
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 4: It's been around forever. It's super short. I mean, I

997
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 4: don't even think I hit driver walking around there. That

998
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,479
Speaker 4: that place is a blast. I could keep going, keep going.

999
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 4: I love the city. I love living here. I couldn't

1000
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 4: lived anywhere in the world of this job, and my

1001
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 4: wife and I wanted to live in Austin. But you know,

1002
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 4: come to me more for I'll have a I should

1003
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 4: have an episode. I feel like I need an episode

1004
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 4: with Bourdain to go to all the different you know,

1005
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 4: the late Anthony Bourdain, to go to all the places

1006
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 4: I'd want to eat in Austin. But honestly, the food

1007
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 4: here is unbelievable. No matter where you try it, you're

1008
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 4: probably gonna hit a home run no matter where you go.

1009
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 5: I will tell you.

1010
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 3: I think I might have mentioned this on the pod

1011
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 3: to you, maybe like the first time we're doing it

1012
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 3: a few months ago, but it's probably four years ago.

1013
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 3: I want to say this was like the DJ over

1014
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 3: Raw year. But in any case, the first night we

1015
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 3: were there, myself, Michael Collins and Rex Hoggard from Golf

1016
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 3: Channel went out and got some barbecue. Yeah, just right

1017
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 3: down the road for the course. Hey, barbecue place. We're

1018
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 3: in Austin. We gotta get barbecue and had some barbecue.

1019
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,879
Speaker 3: Very good. Go back to the course the next day,

1020
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 3: start talking to some locals. So, yeah, we went out

1021
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 3: for barbecue to this place. Oh yeah, that's good. But

1022
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 3: you gotta go to this place. It's like fifteen minutes away. Okay, cool.

1023
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 3: So that night we go, oh, oh yeah, that was

1024
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,879
Speaker 3: even better, fifteen minutes away. Go back in the next day,

1025
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 3: tell someone, oh, we went to this place, Oh yeah,

1026
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 3: really good. But really, you gotta go to this place

1027
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 3: about forty minutes away. Go forty minutes away, like in

1028
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 3: the middle of this field, like this restaurant with nothing

1029
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:06,200

00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 3: I don't know how you can sit there and look

1077
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 3: at the board and say, oh, so and so he's

1078
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 3: gonna win a lot of holes in a row this

1079
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 3: this week. I just think it's, hey, guy happens to

1080
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,280
Speaker 3: do it. I mean, maybe you look at a player

1081
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 3: like Jordan Speed who makes birdies and bunches. You know

1082
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 3: that that could be a formula. But really you want

1083
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 3: to find guys that are gonna advance and keep playing.

1084
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 3: The more you play in this event this week, the

1085
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 3: more points you'll keep accumulating. So with that said, let's

1086
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,919
Speaker 3: get after it. You gonna make the first pick.

1087
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 4: Sure, I'll get started with Cameron Smith, and we talked

1088
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 4: about how we think that he's the man to beat

1089
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 4: out of his group. Eighty five hundred seems like a

1090
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 4: good value to me there, You know, I think that's

1091
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 4: a good way to start off the team. Cam Smith,

1092
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:12,280
Speaker 4: all right.

1093
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna look for guys that we think we both

1094
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,240
Speaker 3: think are going to win their groups that aren't necessarily

1095
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 3: highly priced. We will get to guys I think that

1096
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 3: are going deeper in this event. But I'll give you

1097
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 3: one guy that we both say. His name, Brian Harmon.

1098
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 3: Just like a bulldog, magnipotent your ankles all week. He's

1099
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 3: got to beat Can'tley, Matsuyama and Carlos Ortiz, and at

1100
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 3: his price of seventy two hundred, I think that's nice.

1101
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 4: Play absolutely play great at the Players Championship. Man thirteen

1102
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 4: fourteen cuts this season. I spouse the reasons why I

1103
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 4: think he's the man to beat, or not the man

1104
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 4: to beat, but he's the guy who's gonna come out

1105
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:51,479
Speaker 4: of that group.

1106
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 3: I like that.

1107
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 4: I'll go with a guy who we both have getting

1108
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,439
Speaker 4: into at least the final four. You've got him winning

1109
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 4: the whole thing. Sergio Garcia. We talked about him his

1110
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,359
Speaker 4: success throughout the years in match play. Only one player

1111
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 4: has made the round of sixteen more all time than

1112
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 4: Sergio Garcia, as he's done seven times. Tiger's the only

1113
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 4: one with more than eight sleeping in his own bed.

1114
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 4: This week, Let's go with Sergio Garcia.

1115
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 3: Eighty three hundred. Cam Smith actually costs more than Sergio

1116
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 3: this week, so we've still got some money to play with.

1117
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 3: I'm going to go with a d player who's more

1118
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 3: than each of them, and that's Jordan's speech. We've talked

1119
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 3: all about him throughout the pod. At ninety three hundred.

1120
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 3: I think he's a really good play this week.

1121
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, gotta agree. We talked about all the reasons why

1122
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 4: his iron numbers are the most promising thing to me.

1123
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 4: But you know, we always talk about Jordan at his peak.

1124
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 4: I think he was underrated as an iron player because

1125
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 4: he was such a good putter that, you know, conversationally'd say, oh,

1126
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 4: this guy makes everything around the greens and holds all

1127
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 4: these butts. Really, he was a top five iron player

1128
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,399
Speaker 4: in the world of his peak. So yeah, no, I'm

1129
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 4: with you there. I'm going to go with another guy

1130
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 4: who you're very high on and I audibled out of,

1131
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:59,399
Speaker 4: so I'll come back to him for the DraftKings team

1132
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 4: Jason at eighty four hundred. I think that's a pretty

1133
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 4: good value. He's just he's between camp Smith and Sergio Garcia.

1134
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 4: He's won this golf tournament twice at two different courses,

1135
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,359
Speaker 4: including here a few years ago. Let's go with Jason Day,

1136
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,720
Speaker 4: and I've left you with eighty three hundred on the books.

1137
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is a nice number to have. I do

1138
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 3: have Abraham Answer out there at seventy seven hundred, and

1139
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 3: I really like him, but we both have will zalatoris

1140
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 3: moving forward, so I will go Wills alatoris at seventy

1141
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 3: nine hundred, leaves four hundred on the board. Who the

1142
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 3: hell knows what's going to be a good DraftKings lineup

1143
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 3: out of this thing this week. But Jason Day, Sergio Garcia,

1144
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 3: Brian Harmon, Cameron Smith, Jordan Spieth, Wills alatoris at least

1145
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 3: feels like that could be a really good play. I

1146
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 3: don't mind. By the way, I can't do it. I

1147
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 3: was gonna say switching out Harmon for Answer, but that

1148
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 3: leaves you one hundred dollars over, so I guess you

1149
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 3: can't do that. You gotta play with some other stuff there,

1150
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 3: So oh well, keep that line.

1151
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 4: Up's let the record show I didn't leave you with

1152
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,720
Speaker 4: the fact that you didn't have to take Antoine Rosner

1153
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 4: with your last pick. We left enough money to where

1154
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 4: there were choices remaining on the board where he didn't

1155
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 4: have to go with my deep sleeper to move on

1156
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:06,240
Speaker 4: to the round of sixteen.

1157
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 3: Those will be on your personal list of ficks this week.

1158
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 3: The Antwan robstar Peck. I don't know. I mean maybe

1159
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 3: maybe you know who knows.

1160
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 4: In fact, you just looking at the math man, I

1161
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:20,240
Speaker 4: got to go deep with somebody and that piecing it together.

1162
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 4: Maybe he gets out of that group.

1163
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, why not? I like taking a shot this week?

1164
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 3: Why not? We've already seen Oral Roberts, We've seen Loyola,

1165
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 3: So I believe Christian get past Texas. Bad week for

1166
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 3: Texas so far. Maybe a guy like Jordan Speith or

1167
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 3: Scottie Scheffler could make it a better week for them.

1168
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,720
Speaker 3: Coming up, Remember get your bets in. This thing starts

1169
