1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,319 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Betting Pros PGA Podcast. I'm Pat Fitzmorris, 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: joined as always by Beau mcbrair. We're going to give 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,239 Speaker 1: you a betting preview of the Valspar Championship, taking a 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: closer look at the course and the field, and giving 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: you some of our favorite plays. We always start with 6 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 1: a quick recap of the previous week's event, and this 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: year's Players Championship was a barnburner. But before we get 8 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: into the recap, I don't know. I generally enjoy the 9 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: West Coast Swing a little more than the Florida Swing, 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: mostly because I love seeing the pros play Tory Pines, Pebble. 11 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 2: Bh Riviera. 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: But this year we have had a lot of runaways 13 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: on the West Coast Swing and the Florida Swing this year, 14 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: Holy moly, the drama has been incredible the last few weeks, 15 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: final round meltdowns, Steely's Sunday performances, dramatic finishes, some really 16 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: compelling on difficult courses. I thoroughly enjoyed the Florida Swing 17 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: this year, Bob, how about you? 18 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 3: It's been everything and more that we could have expected. 19 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 3: It's riveting golf, It's just great television. Players Championship obviously 20 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 3: the gold standard when it comes to televised golf, and 21 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 3: it kind of just leads us down this path. We 22 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 3: have one more week left in the Florida Swing and 23 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 3: then it's getting ready for the Masters, which is I 24 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 3: would think the best product for golf on TV because 25 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 3: they've just got it so figured out. But the Florida 26 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 3: Swing has been captivating. I have obviously enjoyed some success 27 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: with betting on the Florida Swing, but at the same time, 28 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 3: California wasn't that bad to us either. It's just they're 29 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: so different, but they're so great in their own way. 30 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 3: So I'm not gonna pick apples versus oranges, or oranges 31 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 3: versus other oranges because Southern California and Florida both grow oranges. 32 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 3: For us. Yeah, they're two different, great animals, two different 33 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 3: ways to enjoy professional golf at the highest level. And 34 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: it's just the Florida Swing has been utterly spectacular this season, 35 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 3: and so we're all privileged to enjoy it. 36 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, well said, it's been edge of your seat on 37 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: a Sunday afternoon type of stuff. So let's quickly recap 38 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: the Players Championship. Ludwig Oberg opened with a sixty nine 39 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: and a sixty three, and after shooting a seventy one 40 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: on Saturday, he took a three shot lead into the 41 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: final round. Ludwig was in the driver's seat, but at 42 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: TPC sawgrasp bow. The driver's seat isn't always very comfortable. 43 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: Oberg wasn't especially sharp on the front nine Sunday, but 44 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: he was even par after ten holes and still led 45 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: by two. 46 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: But that's when the wheels came off. Yeah. 47 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: After good drive on the par five eleventh, Oberg flared 48 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: his approach shot into the water. He ended up with 49 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: a bogie six. Then on the par four twelfth, Oberg 50 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: pulled his drive badly into the water, wound up making 51 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: a slot double bogie, and suddenly there were a lot 52 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: of cats sipping at the saucer. Matt Fitzpatrick, Xanderschoffli, Cameron Young, 53 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: Robert McIntyre, Sudarshan Yellow, Miraju more on him. 54 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,399 Speaker 2: Later nailed it. 55 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: It ultimately came down to Fitzpatrick and Young, who were 56 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: paired together. Fitzpatrick was up one with two holes to play. 57 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: He made a routine part of the par three seventeenth, 58 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: hitting to the middle of the island green and two putting, 59 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: Cameron Young was more aggressive with his t shot, hit 60 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: a sandwich to within ten feet, rolled in the birdie 61 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: to tie things, and on the par four eighteenth, Young 62 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: hit a man at three hundred and seventy five yard 63 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: drive that left him with just ninety nine yards in. 64 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: It is the longest drive on the eighteenth hole at 65 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: Sawgrass since the introduction of the shot link system in 66 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: two thousand and four. Fitzpatrick left his drive out too 67 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: far to the right, found the pine straw he had 68 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: to lay up short of the green, while Young was 69 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: able to hit an aggressive approach that rolled onto the 70 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: back fringe just fifteen feet fet in the hall, Fitzpatrick 71 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: chipped to about eight feet. Cameron Young had a chance 72 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: to win with a birdie he couldn't convert, but Fitzpatrick 73 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: just missed his par potts, and Young, with an eight 74 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: inch pot that he admitted was one of the nervier 75 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: putts he's ever had in his life, rolled it in 76 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: for his second PGA Tour victory. He's been runner up 77 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: many times before, but Cameron Young finished the job this 78 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: time and want to win it was Young earned himself 79 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: four point five million dollars automatic PGA Tour status for 80 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: the next five years, exemptions to all four majors for 81 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: the next three years, and bo is very own locker 82 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: in the TPCU Sawgrass Champions locker room and by the way, 83 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: a hat tip top c Sawgrass not one of my 84 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: very favorite PGA Tour venues, but it was a great 85 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: test and it provided some fantastic drama on Sunday. I 86 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: love this quote from Cameron Young about tpc Sawgrass. He 87 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: was being interviewed on Serious XM'SPGA Tour Radio after the 88 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: win and Fred Alberts said to him, seems like every 89 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: hole on this course asks a question, and Cam Young 90 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: Cam Yung said, yeah, how do you want to make 91 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: a six BO. You had Luvig Ohberg as your hard 92 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: rock bet of the week last week that didn't work out, 93 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: but you also had Cam Young at thirty two to one, 94 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: and even more impressive than that, you had you touted 95 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: Sudarshin Yellow Miraju last week, who went off else did 96 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: not a soul five hundred and seventy five to one 97 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: and he was something like ten to one just to 98 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: finish top twenty. 99 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: BO. 100 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: Give me your impressions from the players Championship and take 101 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: a little victory lap on Young and Yellow Miraju. 102 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 3: The Players Championship is one of my favorites because it's 103 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 3: a fair test of golf. You don't get a proto 104 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 3: type player that wins every year. It's it's completely random 105 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 3: because you're gonna get a lot of birdies when when 106 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 3: guys hit good shots, they're gonna make birdies at Sawgrass. 107 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 3: But if you have bad shots, how are you gonna 108 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 3: make six? That is app That is as appropriate an 109 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: answer as Cam Young could have made. Because if you 110 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 3: make a good shot, you're gonna score really well at Sawgrass. 111 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: But right on the other side, if you make a 112 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 3: bad shot like what we saw, Ludwig Olberg was in 113 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 3: cruise control off the tee for three and a half rounds, 114 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 3: and everybody's commenting about, oh, Ludwig's first and distance inaccuracy 115 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 3: off the te Ludwig is the best ball striker in 116 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 3: the world. Ludwig cannot be stopped and his very like 117 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 3: he was almost programmed to hit a great long iron 118 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 3: shot on eleven to make birdier eagle to put that 119 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 3: thing away, and instead a pure block about thirty yards 120 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 3: right of his target into the middle of that lake, 121 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 3: and then on twelve off the tee barely made contact 122 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 3: with the ball first of all, and dead pull left 123 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 3: thirty yards into the lake, not even remotely close to 124 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 3: where he was aiming. That's what sawgrass can do to you, 125 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 3: because the pressure mounts, because you know if you're not perfect, 126 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 3: you're not going to win. And that's what I love 127 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: about that championship because it's fair. It's fair, and it's 128 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 3: very penalizing and you just have to survive it. Cam 129 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 3: Young survived the Players Championship and I was I was 130 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 3: keen on him because his short game has shown so 131 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 3: many strides this season. His ball striking is still every 132 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 3: bit of what it was, and he used all those weapons. 133 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 3: He made the fewest bogies of anybody in the field 134 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 3: this week. That was huge. And for Yellow Moraju, I 135 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 3: just saw a guy who was accurate. I saw a 136 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 3: guy who doesn't make too many mistakes. He's an adequate 137 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 3: short game. He's an OK putter, but he's a straight 138 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 3: hitter with enough ball speed to really make a difference 139 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: when you need power. He had it. He just didn't 140 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: make hit fourteen or fifteen greens. On Sunday, That's what 141 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 3: I was talking about last week was Yellow Maraju when 142 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 3: he won on the Corn Ferry Tour last year, had 143 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 3: a round where he hit every fairway and every green 144 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 3: in the same round. That's what I was looking for 145 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 3: at Sagress. Because you've missed the fairway, you're done missed. 146 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 3: He missed the fairway, you can't hit the green, and 147 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: then of course you're not making birdies. Yello. Miraju didn't 148 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 3: beat himself too often. Top five finish for a guy 149 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 3: who's that deep on the on the roster. Basically, he 150 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 3: was making his fifth PGA Tour start ever, and now 151 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 3: he's made four cuts out of five and everybody in 152 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 3: their mom knows who he is now. I guess one 153 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 3: week early, it's just it's warrants a victory lap. I 154 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 3: feel good, but he's already withdrawn from this week's championship. 155 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 3: So I guess we're just gonna have to take this 156 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 3: one week victory lap and business as usual, try to 157 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 3: find the next long shot winner. 158 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: I was eager to see what the odds were gonna be. 159 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 3: They were as short as seventy three to one before 160 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 3: he withdrew. 161 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: Seventy three to one Okay, all right, when I first 162 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: looked at the odds, he was already out. 163 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 2: But that that is interesting. 164 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate a guy who taught himself the swing 165 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: with YouTube videos as someone who you know. When I 166 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: was struggling with bunker play last summer, I must have 167 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: watched like seven different YouTube videos and I'm getting out 168 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: of bonker. 169 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: So yeah, and I totally I can relate. 170 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 3: So that's the difference with this show is you got 171 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 3: a guy in me who watches way too much golf 172 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 3: and I and yes, I do watch LPGA Tour a lot. 173 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 3: I watched the Corn Fairy Tour a lot. I watched 174 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 3: the DP World Tour a lot. I even watch live 175 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 3: golf sometimes just for funzies. So if you're looking for 176 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 3: a long shot, I probably already know who they are, 177 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 3: and if I don't, I'm probably going to look into 178 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 3: them if I hear their name and I don't recognize it. 179 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 3: I've seen Yellow Maraju play for a few years now. 180 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 3: He's got a lot of talent, and more importantly, upstairs 181 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 3: between the ears where it's most important to win at 182 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 3: golf tournament, it's he's a smart player, and that's what 183 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 3: is really going to carry him through a really lengthy careers. 184 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 3: He's got a good head on his shoulders. He's a 185 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 3: mature player for his age twenty four. Going out there 186 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 3: top five at the Players in your first appearance. 187 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 2: Nobody does well the Players the first time amazing. So yeah, 188 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 2: it's amazing. 189 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 3: Hats off to him for making me look smart. But 190 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 3: that's all about him rising to the occasion and even 191 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 3: exceeding his own expectations. 192 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: And now we come to the final stop on the 193 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: Florida Swing, the Valspar Championship. After two signature events and 194 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: the Players Championship over the last three weeks, Valspar. 195 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 2: Is a bit of a step down. 196 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: Some of the big names are sitting this one out, 197 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: but it's still a pretty good field with some stars 198 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: among the one hundred and thirty three entrance. The Valspar 199 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,599 Speaker 1: Championship will be played at the Copperhead Course at the 200 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Palm Harbor, Florida, which 201 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: is on the golf coast side of Florida, not too 202 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: far from Tampa and Saint Petersburg. The Copperhead Course is 203 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: a par seventy one that plays two seven, three hundred 204 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: and fifty two yards. Like the other courses on the 205 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: Florida Swing, Copperhead is a butt kicker. The fairways are narrow, 206 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: the greens are smaller than average. Water comes into play 207 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: on nine holes. The rough can be penal. This is 208 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: you nick PGA Tour course and that it has part 209 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: five par threes and with four par fives, that means 210 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: they're only nine par fours. For the par threes are 211 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: two hundred yards or longer and the shortest one is 212 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: still one hundred and ninety five yards. Copperhead opens with 213 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: a par five and it's the shortest one on the 214 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: course at five hundred and sixty yards, so players really 215 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: want to get that opening birdie to kickstart their rounds. 216 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: The three hole finishing stretch at Copperhead is known as 217 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: the Snake Pit and it is a tough test. Sixteenth 218 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: holes of four hundred and seventy five yard par four 219 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: with a narrow fairway and water running all the way 220 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: down the right side of the whole. Par three seventeenth 221 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: is two hundred and fifteen yards with a green completely 222 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: surrounded by bunkers. Par four eighteenth is four hundred and 223 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: forty five yards with fairway bunkers, left and right of 224 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: the target landing area, and Copperhead has some very difficult 225 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: Poetravalis greens whether should be gorgeous this week, though no 226 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: rain in the forecast for Palm Harbor, just a lot 227 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: of sun, temperatures in the seventies all week. The winds 228 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: are expected to blow ten to fifteen miles an hour 229 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: the first two days, five to ten miles an hour 230 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: on the weekend. 231 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 2: With no rain. 232 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: These greens could get pretty fast. We've seen fast greens 233 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: throughout the Florida Swing. Victor Hoblind is the defending champion. 234 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: He was eleven under par last year, beating Justin Thomas 235 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: by a stroke. Peter mal Noddy was a surprise valspar 236 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: winner in twenty twenty four with the score of minus twelve. 237 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: He beat Cameron Young by two shots that year. Taylor 238 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: Moore won here in twenty twenty three with the score 239 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: of ten under par, and Sam Burns won back to 240 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: back valspar Is in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two. 241 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: Bow your thoughts on the copper Head course and the 242 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 1: types of the attributes you're going to zero in on 243 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: this week when handicapping the field. 244 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 3: It's a lot more of approach game. Obviously, good drives 245 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 3: gained is huge here because the fairways are narrow, and 246 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 3: if you're out of position here, it's really hard to 247 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 3: avoid the bogies. You're not looking to double bogies like 248 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 3: last week, because it's not overly difficult in that way. 249 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 3: It's just the birdie chances are few and far between here, 250 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 3: and especially in the snake pit finishing that round. There's 251 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,599 Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of stuff can go down on 252 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 3: the back nine on Sunday at this Championship, just the 253 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 3: same as the players, because that snake bit is extremely difficult. 254 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 3: All three of those holes will be playing overpar even 255 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 3: with really good scoring conditions. That those three holes are 256 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 3: absolutely brutal. And to come down the stretch and try 257 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 3: to win a tournament with those three holes staring in 258 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 3: face is never easy. I'm big on approach. I'm big 259 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 3: on good drives gained and then scrambling bogie avoidance, a 260 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 3: little bit of the proximity on approach one seventy five 261 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 3: and above. A lot of long approaches here. Not really 262 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 3: as many forced layups off the tee as last week, 263 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 3: but you're still going to get a lot of importance 264 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 3: on finding the fairway here, so accurate players again who 265 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 3: may be on a hot streak, and I am considering 266 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 3: these greens to be a tri through Bermuda, even though 267 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 3: they're Poetryvialis is close enough to what you would get 268 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 3: as pure a Bermuda as you're going to see for 269 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 3: putting greens. Now that everybody's pretty much gone to overseateed 270 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 3: Rye with the other Florida courses, so filtering for bermuda 271 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 3: putting last twenty four rounds recent success, I want to 272 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 3: see guys coming in hot because this course is going 273 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 3: to be challenging enough. 274 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: Now, before we get to the odds for the Falspark Championship, 275 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: I just want to tell everyone how much I appreciate 276 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: the convenience of Omaha Steaks.

Any when you have your eye on 301 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: from this group, So. 302 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 3: Let's get the top guy out of the way here, 303 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 3: the crown jewel, the guy that's gonna be on all 304 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 3: the marketing stuff is Xander Schaffley. He was number one 305 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 3: in my model, but not as much of a gap 306 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 3: above the rest of the field as I expected. And 307 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 3: the one thing that stood out to me was his 308 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 3: off the tee game, which is very important here to 309 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 3: find fairways, has been pretty erratic this season. He's still 310 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 3: getting into the swing of things. He's still the best 311 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 3: ball striker in this field by a long shot. He's 312 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 3: a great short game. He's got everything in spades except 313 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 3: for off the tee. He worries me because he's outside 314 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 3: the top one hundred and good drives gained in this field, 315 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 3: which is not a great field compared to the last couple. 316 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 3: Xanderschaffley at ten seventy five is a little short from 317 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 3: my liking. Do I think he has the chance to win? 318 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 3: Of course, he's the headliner. Fitzpatrick is going to be 319 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 3: another popular choice. I'm just not on him here. I 320 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 3: might be mistaken. He looked really good last week during 321 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 3: near pulled that rabbit out of the hat to completely 322 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 3: tank all the money that I want and everybody who 323 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 3: tailed me. It would have been a complete tragedy of 324 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 3: fits had won that. No offense to all the fits 325 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 3: is out there, including yourself. But I was rooting so 326 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 3: hard against Matt Fitzpatrick last week. Hovelin's interesting because he 327 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,719 Speaker 3: just won last year. That was more of a surprise. 328 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 3: He won is an eighty to one long shot last 329 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 3: year because he was scuffling and just randomly won at 330 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 3: the vallast Bar. I don't know if he can find 331 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 3: that lightning strike again here. My guy is Jacob Bridgman. 332 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 3: This guy is the hottest golfer that he's already won once. 333 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 3: He's he's playing most consistently good golf on the entire 334 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 3: tour right now. That says a lot because there's a 335 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 3: lot of guys playing great golf this season. Jacob Bridgman's 336 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 3: had been at the top of every leaderboard this year. 337 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 3: Every single one this guy shows up makes putts. His 338 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 3: ball striking is middle of the pack, but his strength 339 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 3: is on approach, and then once he gets on the green, 340 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 3: every putt looks like it's going in. So I'm starting 341 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 3: my card at plus twenty two to fifty Jacob Bridgman, 342 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 3: and it's a very confident bet because he's number two 343 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 3: in my model and every single stat is green, which 344 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 3: we like. 345 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 2: Love that call. 346 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: I mean, he just remains red hot. Fifth last week 347 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: at the Players. He's finished top twenty and all seven 348 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: PGA Tour events he's played. 349 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 3: Yes he's hot. 350 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, that includes that win at the Genesis, three other 351 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: top tens, and he was third by the way at 352 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: last year's Vals Bar. So I love the call Bow 353 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: and look, there is something to be said for a 354 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: lot of these other top guys like Schoffley. Really nice 355 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: combination of course fit and recent form. He was seventh 356 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: at the Genesis Invitational, twenty fourth at the Arnold Palmer, 357 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: third last week at the Players. Shoffley has made three 358 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 1: trips to Copperhead and has finished no worse than twelfth 359 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,479 Speaker 1: in any of them, only had one top five finish here, 360 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,959 Speaker 1: but ranks twenty first on strokes gain an approach twelfth 361 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: in strokes gain total. I get the concern about the 362 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: driving though you're right, he has not been pinpoint with 363 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: the driver so far. That's kind of why Fitzpatrick is 364 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: interesting this week. Bo, Like, I think the appeal is 365 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: undeniable on a track like Copperhead to get a guy 366 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: who does have a really good all around game and 367 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: his seventh and driving accuracy. He's not going to get 368 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: himself into trouble off the tee. He is outside the 369 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: top one hundred and strokes gain putting, but he's been 370 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: pretty much very good in every other facet and played 371 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: extremely well at Sagrass. 372 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 2: But what about Aksha Batilla. 373 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: So he took a week off after winning the Arnold 374 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: Palmer Championship, played splendidly at Bayhill two weeks ago, and 375 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: Batia's been pretty red hot ever since the Phoenix Opened, 376 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: with three top tens in his last five events and 377 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: no worse than a sixteenth place finish dating back to 378 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: the Phoenix Open. So he's played the valaspar three times, 379 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: missed the cut the first two, but finished seventeenth and 380 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. 381 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure it's a great course fit. Honestly, 382 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 3: the two miss cuts and then seventeenth was his best 383 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 3: finished two years ago doesn't really invite me. But at 384 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 3: the same time, ox Sheebatia has taken the next step. 385 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 3: His game is completely transcended where he was two years ago, 386 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 3: even when he finished seventeenth here, and definitely better than 387 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 3: he when he was, what nineteen twenty years old when 388 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 3: he missed the cut the first two times. I don't 389 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 3: hate ok Sebatia. I really like how he fits this 390 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 3: course on paper. His past results here give me a 391 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 3: little pause. But what mainly gives me Pauser less than 392 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 3: twenty to one odds on he and Fitzpatrick. Honestly, it's 393 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 3: the odds. I don't get a lot of value there 394 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 3: because I like Bridgeman so much more than both of 395 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 3: those guys, and I'm getting more value for Bridgeman. On 396 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 3: top of that, it was really hard to look at 397 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 3: those guys that are shorter odds, and I was like, 398 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 3: I think Bergmann's gonna just beat all these guys, all 399 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 3: these guys in the top tier. I think Jacob Bridgman 400 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 3: is a playing better this entire season, and b he's 401 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 3: a great fit for this golf course. So I must 402 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 3: be missing something because we're gonna get a lot of 403 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 3: people to tell you to bet on Jacob Bridgeman this 404 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 3: week for obvious reasons. But I'm telling you that I 405 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 3: might be the most confident in him that he might 406 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 3: win this tournament at plus twenty two to fifty nothing 407 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 3: against any of these guys in this tier. I just 408 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 3: think the value is not there compared to what you 409 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 3: get with him. 410 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, don't you miss the days when we could get 411 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: auctionha at fifty sixty seventy one. 412 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 3: Twenty one in San Antonio a couple of years ago. 413 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 3: I had him at fifty five to one. It was amazing, 414 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 3: that's right. 415 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 2: So you're more of a Justin Thomas guy than I am. 416 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 2: Just generally. 417 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: He's coming off in eighth place finish at the Players 418 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: Championship might have been in contention late Sunday if not 419 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: for a triple bogee early in his round on Saturday. 420 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: JT is a very good track record at the Valspar. 421 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 1: He was runner up last year, third and twenty twenty two. 422 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: He's been playing this tournament every year and he's finished 423 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: top fifteen in four of the last five years. Of course, 424 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: for the course, I can't talk you into Justin Thomas 425 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: this week. Bough Well, No, we've seen him do well 426 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: once this season. He had his first event at Bayhill, 427 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: missed the cut by a long shot. He was dead last, 428 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: and then he did really well at Sawgrass, but he 429 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: always does. He always does well here. I think he's 430 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: a good top ten bet. 431 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 3: But again he's at the same exact line as a 432 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 3: guy who's played out of his mind top twenty in 433 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 3: all seven events this year, Jacob Bridgeman. Again, it's a 434 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 3: value proposition. Do I like Justin Thomas at vals Bart, 435 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 3: of course? Do I like him better than the guy 436 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 3: with the same odds he's playing better golf all season? No, 437 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 3: not even close. So again it's just this entire tier 438 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 3: for met a lot of guys I like, but one 439 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 3: guy that I absolutely love, and I will be going 440 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 3: every angle that I can bet Jacob Bridgeman this week 441 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 3: will be bet because the rest of my car as 442 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 3: a who's who have long shots in little little sprinklings 443 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 3: of bets, because this is Jacob Bridgeman's week. 444 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 2: To me, I'd love to hear that. Let's look at 445 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 2: more of the vals Bar odds. 446 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: The Heath Thigala is thirty seven to one, Nick Taylor's 447 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: thirty nine to one. Taylor Pendrith is forty to one. 448 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: Rio hissatsone is forty two to one, Kegan Bradley forty 449 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: six to one, Davis Thompson fifty to one, Alex Smalley 450 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: fifty three to one, Wyndham Clark fifty five to one, 451 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 1: Austin Smotherman, Aaron Rye and Rasmus Hoygard are fifty six 452 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,479 Speaker 1: to one. And Ricky But are we supposed to pronounce 453 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: it Castilio? I think everyone's saying Ricky Castillio. It looks 454 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: like Ricky Castillo to me. 455 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 3: So that's the thing is I think he says Castilio. 456 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 3: He's from southern California, went to University of Florida. Yeah, 457 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 3: if you're saying the Spanish pronunciation, that's Castillo. But I 458 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 3: think he says Castilio. So I guess we're supposed to 459 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 3: say Ricky Castillio. 460 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: I guess mister Castilio and Matt McCarty are both sixty 461 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: to one. So how about these mid range options? BO, 462 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: does anyone stand out? Uh? 463 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 3: No, honestly, one of them stands out, and it's Ricky Castilio, 464 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 3: and I have him at sixty to one, and he's 465 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 3: going to get a nice little bet from me because 466 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 3: I just like the player, and he's coming in out 467 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 3: of this whole tier. He's the only one in the 468 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 3: top twenty in my model. This entire tier is completely 469 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 3: out of my model. If unless I scroll a way down. 470 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 3: Ricky Castillio is number five in my model, So he's 471 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 3: going to get a bet from me. And he's playing 472 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 3: good golf this year. He's been a solid player, consistent player, 473 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 3: and again he's an accurate ball striker. You have to 474 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 3: be accurate in this Florida swing. If you're missing fairways 475 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 3: in Florida, you're not going to have a very good time. 476 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 3: Ricky Castilio is an accurate player. 477 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 2: And so I like him. 478 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: I might have been interested in sahithagala I. He's played 479 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: well this season. He finished seventh at the Vlsbourne twenty 480 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: twenty two. But I was bird dogging him on Sunday 481 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: because I had bet him for a top ten and 482 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: was hoping he could get get me a back door. 483 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 3: He almost got you to day on that almost got 484 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 3: you there, he. 485 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 2: Did, but bo the wheels came off for him. 486 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: On the back nine Sunday at Sagres, he had a 487 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: four hole stretch where he made bogeer worse on every hole. 488 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: Then he made a couple of bogies on sixteen and seventeen, 489 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: but made another bogie in eighteen when he drove it 490 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: into the pine straw. 491 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 2: Like I'm out on him. 492 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: He just hit way too many, like alarmingly bad shots 493 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: on the back nine Sunday for me to back him 494 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 1: this week. 495 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 3: You think Xander scares you off the tee, is terrifying. 496 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 3: Off the tee, he's a great scrambler, He's got one 497 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 3: of the best short games in the whole world. But 498 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 3: off the tee he's terrifying. And this is not the 499 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,239 Speaker 3: place where you want to take a chance on guy 500 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 3: who can miss his target by a wide margin many 501 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 3: many times in a row and has to play the 502 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 3: Jordan's speed game. He's got a lot of Jordan's speeth 503 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 3: in him, which I doesn't give me a lot of 504 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 3: confidence at the copper Head Course. 505 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: No, I feel better at longer odds with Rio Hissatsenen 506 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: forty two to one, three top tens this year, coming 507 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: off the thirteen at the Players Championship, and he was 508 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: fourth of the vals bar last year. 509 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, he needs to ditch that water drinking routine. Because 510 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 3: it's not working because everything is green with hyssatsine on 511 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 3: ball striking, He's an amazing ball striker. He's a very 512 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 3: accurate player, but he is dead last in this entire 513 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 3: field and putting on bermuda, which something's got to give. Like, 514 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 3: this guy's giving himself so many chances to pust good 515 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 3: scores and just can't make a putt. So I think 516 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 3: he's got to try some different sip technique or maybe 517 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 3: swallow it faster. I don't know this. He's got to 518 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 3: figure out the flat stick before I can bet him. 519 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 3: But yeah, he's he's definitely gonna be there. I think 520 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 3: he could finish the top ten or top twenty here. 521 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 3: But until he figures out how to putt on these 522 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 3: bermuda greens, I can't. I can't good conscience bet. 523 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: And speaking of not figuring out how to pot, Austin 524 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: Smotherman currently leads the PGA Tour and strokes gained on 525 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: approach twenty eighth and strokes gained. 526 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 2: Off the tee. 527 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: Just not a good putter outside the top hundred strokes 528 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: gain please, not a get shipper either. 529 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, so short game troubles kind of steer me away. 530 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 2: This week.

I mean, 547 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 3: some like the reputation of me throwing darts and pulling 548 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 3: out random long shots. There's a little bit more science 549 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 3: into it. So let's start with Bud Colly at eighty 550 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 3: two to one. Just a really solid ball striker and 551 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 3: not the greatest short game either, but at one hundred 552 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 3: and twenty or eighty two to one, that's baked in. 553 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 3: I do like Bud Callie because of his ball striking. 554 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 3: He's a really solid player. Came in number six in 555 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 3: my model top ten and strokes game tee to green 556 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 3: in this field, number twelve on approach overall. And let's 557 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 3: see what's that other stat Yeah, putting thirteenth in putting 558 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 3: on Bermuda. That's important. He's just a great all around 559 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 3: player and I don't see many things against him. He's 560 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 3: kind of middle of the pack off the tee accuracy wise, 561 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 3: but I think that's more of a just a product 562 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 3: of him not playing a lot of golf. Uh. The 563 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 3: one thing that is bad for Bud Cally is his 564 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 3: his approach over two hundred yards is pretty bad. But 565 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 3: hopefully we can get some good results out of Bud Cally. 566 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 3: Eighty two to one's nice at one hundred to one. 567 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 3: Is a guy that I touted last year. It didn't 568 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 3: really materialize too often. But William Mao MoU w. William 569 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 3: Mao is another guy who is just a straight hitter. 570 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 3: He comes in another guy pretty highly rated in my 571 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 3: in my model I just like the I like the 572 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 3: way he's coming out there one hundred to one for 573 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 3: a guy who's just a good, solid player, and this 574 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 3: is he plays better on tougher golf courses. And I've 575 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 3: already talked about this guy this year a couple of times. 576 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 3: David Ford, the rookie out of North Carolina. He's going 577 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 3: out one hundred and twenty one. Not a lot of 578 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 3: data on him. It's not a model pick. This kid 579 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 3: is good and he's going to eventually crack one where 580 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 3: he plays four good rounds, and he's got the talent 581 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 3: to absolutely go and chase a win here in this 582 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 3: kind of field. So David Ford one hundred and twenty one, 583 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 3: and my last guy at one hundred and seventy one, 584 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 3: not Blades Brown. We're going with Dan Brown, the Englishman. 585 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 3: Dan Brown is one hundred and seventy to one. He 586 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 3: beats Blades Brown in every single category at longer odds 587 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 3: except for chipping and putting. And I mean you could say, oh, yeah, 588 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 3: par three scoring, yeah that's important here, but everything else 589 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 3: it's Dan Brown over Blades Brown, the elder statesman from 590 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 3: England over the eighteen year old from America. 591 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: I've got a few two. I'm kind of intrigued by 592 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: Mac Meisner at seventy four to one. He's finished top 593 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: thirty at the Valspar the last two years, and he's 594 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: good with the iron, especially the long irons, and I 595 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: think long irons are going to be critical this week. 596 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: Steven Jaeger is one hundred and five to one. He's 597 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,479 Speaker 1: finished twenty seventh and thirty sixth in his last two 598 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: visits to copper Head. 599 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 2: Not bad. 600 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: Currently ranks second on the tour in par three scoring 601 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: and Bo, we've got those five par threes on this course. 602 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 2: But do you know who currently leads the tour in 603 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:24,479 Speaker 2: par three scoring? 604 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: Yes? 605 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 4: I do. 606 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 2: It's Blades Brown and he's. 607 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: One hundred and ten to one, and maybe his third 608 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: place finish in Puerto Rico two weeks ago gave him 609 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: some confidence heading into the Vellspar and BO I think 610 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: he needs to finish solo fifth or better to get 611 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: some sort of special tour exemption that keeps him around 612 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: other than sponsors exemption. 613 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 2: So big, big week for Blades Brown. Hopefully he can 614 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 2: ride the momentum from that good showing in Puerto Rico. 615 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 3: I worry about his ball striking, though, on a course 616 00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 3: like this. 617 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 2: That's true. Valspar is a challenge for a guy who 618 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 2: might not have it all together. The ball striking so bo. 619 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: My hard rock bet of the week this week is 620 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: it's actually Battia a hard rock bet. Illinois had him 621 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: at twenty five to one on Monday afternoon, and I 622 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: couldn't resist a hot golfer at that price. 623 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 2: What is your hard rock better the week. 624 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 3: It's got to be Jacob Bridgeman at plus twenty two 625 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 3: to fifty because I'm going to take him every which 626 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 3: way possible. He's the sixth or seventh best odds on 627 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 3: this board and I think he's far and away the 628 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 3: favorite for me. So twenty twenty two and a half 629 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 3: to one for my outright favorite's that's good handicapping. That's 630 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 3: a perfect hard rock bet of the week.
